The Scent of a Man and his Gun
The day has barely begun. Outside the skies are white, with clouds near to bursting and ready to let rain fall. The air is still, as if holding its breath, in wait for the rain. Despite the cloud layer, the sunlight is fierce and pushes through, highlighting the whiteness of the clouds.
Serenity lies in the lowlands. As per usual, she's waiting calmly for her next flight. Her view of the sky is magnificent. Straight up, there are no trees to obscure their view. They have a clear view of the entire sky, a view that isn't blocked by high-risers or anything else manmade. It's one of few places they've been where the pollution isn't too bad to see the sky. The entire crew has been out at least once to stare up at it in awe.
Currently, there is just Mal and Inara in the smallish area outside the ship. They remain in the valley, between two of the more non-descript mountains on the planet. The main town is a good hour or two away by foot. Between the foot of each mountain there is not much space, just enough for Serenity to hide in and for a casual stroll outside to get some fresh air. It's quiet.
"How is it that you always smell like gunpowder?" Inara asks softly. Her tone and the gentle smile on her face suggest there is no more to the question than simple curiosity - but Mal gives her a confused look regardless.
"Gunpowder," she says. "Whenever you walk by, the scent of it follows you. But you don't use your weapon every heist you go on."
"The thing about gunpowder is when you get it in something good enough and strong enough, it won't come out. This here coat has seen a good many days where a gun was fired." He lifts a shoulder in a half shrug.
"That would certainly do it," Inara agrees. Her lips curve up slightly more and she tilts her head back again to stare up at the sky. Even after all the times she has spent on core planets where pollution is minimal, she is struck by the beauty of the sky, so open and wild. The previous day it had shone ocean blue.
"Why?" Mal says.
"Why are you asking me? Is this your way of tellin' me I smell bad or somethin'?"
Inara shakes her head. "It's nothing like that."
Mal waits for her to continue.
She sighs and for a change, looks at the trees around them. There are few of them, and most have been burned to nearly nothing. They're eucalypts, which means that the fire that had raged through the area will in fact impact positively on them and help them grow. The resulting look of the fire for now though is a barren wasteland filled with dead or dying trees; of course, that is not at all the case.
In death there is life and vice versa. Nature is a fascinating thing.
Inara finally turns back to Mal to explain. "You still smell like gunpowder even now," she admits.
"That a good thing?"
She smiles and looks away. "Maybe the rain will wash it away," she suggests as the first drops fall.
Mal removes his coat and drapes it over her shoulders. "Doubtful. Gets under your skin, it does."
They spend the next while in silence until they're ready to head inside.
Later that evening, when his coat is draped over a chair to dry, they sit together at the table, nursing mugs of tea. She breathes in deeply to enjoy the aromas of her tea. In doing so, she smells the faint scent of gunpowder and she wonders again how much of it Mal must have been around in his time for him to smell so strongly of it.
It worries her because it reminds her he is only human and his risky heists might one day end with him smelling like bullets too. Somehow it is also a comfort.

113th CONGRESS
2d Session
To direct the Secretary of Defense to review the discharge characterization of former members of the Armed Forces who were discharged by reason of the sexual orientation of the member, and for other purposes.
Mr. Schatz (for himself, Mrs. Gillibrand, and Mr. Udall of Colorado) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Armed Services
To direct the Secretary of Defense to review the discharge characterization of former members of the Armed Forces who were discharged by reason of the sexual orientation of the member, and for other purposes.
This Act may be cited as the "Restore Honor to Service Members Act".
SEC. 2. Review of discharge characterization.
(a) In general.—In accordance with this section, the appropriate discharge boards—
(1) shall review the discharge characterization of covered members at the request of the covered member; and
(2) if such characterization is any characterization except honorable, may change such characterization to honorable.
(b) Criteria.—In changing the discharge characterization of a covered member to honorable under subsection (a)(2), the Secretary of Defense shall ensure that such changes are carried out consistently and uniformly across the military departments using the following criteria:
(1) The original discharge must be based on Don't Ask Don't Tell (in this Act referred to as "DADT") or a similar policy in place prior to the enactment of DADT.
(2) Such discharge characterization shall be so changed if, with respect to the original discharge, there were no aggravating circumstances, such as misconduct, that would have independently led to a discharge characterization that was any characterization except honorable. For purposes of this paragraph, such aggravating circumstances may not include—
(A) an offense under section 925 of title 10, United States Code (article 125 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice), committed by a covered member against a person of the same sex with the consent of such person; or
(B) statements, consensual sexual conduct, or consensual acts relating to sexual orientation or identity, or the disclosure of such statements, conduct, or acts, that were prohibited at the time of discharge but after the date of such discharge became permitted.
(3) When requesting a review, a covered member, or the member's representative, shall be required to provide either—
(i) a copy of the DD–214 form of the member;
(ii) a personal affidavit of the circumstances surrounding the discharge; and
(iii) any relevant records pertaining to the discharge; or
(B) an affidavit certifying that the member, or the member's representative, does not have the documents specified in subparagraph (A).
(4) If a covered member provides an affidavit described in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (3)—
(A) the appropriate discharge board shall make every effort to locate the documents specified in subparagraph (A) of such paragraph within the records of the Department of Defense; and
(B) the absence of such documents may not be considered a reason to deny a change of the discharge characterization under subsection (a)(2).
(c) Request for review.—The appropriate discharge board shall ensure the mechanism by which covered members, or their representative, may request to have the discharge characterization of the covered member reviewed under this section is simple and straightforward.
(1) IN GENERAL.—After a request has been made under subsection (c), the appropriate discharge board shall review all relevant laws, records of oral testimony previously taken, service records, or any other relevant information regarding the discharge characterization of the covered member.
(2) ADDITIONAL MATERIALS.—If additional materials are necessary for the review, the appropriate discharge board—
(A) may request additional information from the covered member or the member's representative, in writing, and specifically detailing what is being requested; and
(B) shall be responsible for obtaining a copy of the necessary files of the covered member from the member, or when applicable, from the Department of Defense.
(e) Change of characterization.—The appropriate discharge board shall change the discharge characterization of a covered member to honorable if such change is determined to be appropriate after a review is conducted under subsection (d) pursuant to the criteria under subsection (b). A covered member, or the member's representative, may appeal a decision by the appropriate discharge board to not change the discharge characterization by using the regular appeals process of the board.
(f) Change of records.—For each covered member whose discharge characterization is changed under subsection (e), or for each covered member who was honorably discharged but whose DD–214 form reflects the sexual orientation of the member, the Secretary of Defense shall reissue to the member or the member's representative a revised DD–214 form that reflects the following:
(1) For each covered member discharged, the Separation Code, Reentry Code, Narrative Code, and Separation Authority shall not reflect the sexual orientation of the member and shall be placed under secretarial authority. Any other similar indication of the sexual orientation or reason for discharge shall be removed or changed accordingly to be consistent with this paragraph.
(2) For each covered member whose discharge occurred prior to the creation of general secretarial authority, the sections of the DD–214 form referred to paragraph (1) shall be changed to similarly reflect a universal authority with codes, authorities, and language applicable at the time of discharge.
(1) IN GENERAL.—Each covered member whose discharge characterization is changed under subsection (e) shall be treated without regard to the original discharge characterization of the member, including for purposes of—
(A) benefits provided by the Federal Government to an individual by reason of service in the Armed Forces; and
(B) all recognitions and honors that the Secretary of Defense provides to members of the Armed Forces.
(2) REINSTATEMENT.—In carrying out paragraph (1)(B), the Secretary shall reinstate all recognitions and honors of a covered member whose discharge characterization is changed under subsection (e) that the Secretary withheld because of the original discharge characterization of the member.
(h) Definitions.—In this section:
(1) The term "appropriate discharge board" means the boards for correction of military records under section 1552 of title 10, United States Code, or the discharge review boards under section 1553 of such title, as the case may be.
(2) The term "covered member" means any former member of the Armed Forces who was discharged from the Armed Forces because of the sexual orientation of the member.
(3) The term "discharge characterization" means the characterization under which a member of the Armed Forces is discharged or released, including "dishonorable", "general", "other than honorable", and "honorable".
(4) The term "Don't Ask Don't Tell" means section 654 of title 10, United States Code, as in effect before such section was repealed pursuant to the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010 (Public Law 111–321).
(5) The term "representative" means the surviving spouse, next of kin, or legal representative of a covered member.
(a) Review.—The Secretary of Defense shall conduct a review of the consistency and uniformity of the reviews conducted under section 2.
(b) Reports.—Not later than 270 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, and each year thereafter for a four-year period, the Secretary shall submit to Congress a report on the reviews under subsection (a). Such reports shall include any comments or recommendations for continued actions.
The Secretary of each military department shall ensure that oral historians of the department—
(1) review the facts and circumstances surrounding the estimated 100,000 members of the Armed Forces discharged from the Armed Forces between World War II and September 2011 because of the sexual orientation of the member; and
(2) receive oral testimony of individuals who personally experienced discrimination and discharge because of the actual or perceived sexual orientation of the individual so that such testimony may serve as an official record of these discriminatory policies and their impact on American lives.

Bay Street Stocks Turn To The Downside - Canadian Commentary
Toronto stocks are lower in early trading, but have recovered a good portion of an early slump. Toronto's main index is following the lead of stocks around the globe, amid fears the swine flu breakout could slow economic recovery.
The S&P/TSX Composite Index has declined 83.88 points or 0.86% to move at 9,466.91. A decline would be the first in five sessions for the index.
While the flu does seem to be spreading, many doctors agree that the swine flu is no more panic worthy than any other breakout of the human flu during flu season.
Meanwhile, General Motors (GM) presented its updated Viability Plan, which will focus on 4 core brands in U.S. to cut costs. The company also expects to reduce its U.S. dealer count to just over 3,600 by the end of next year.
Mining stocks are down 1.7%. FNX Mining (FNX.TO) has dropped 4.1%, First Quantum (FM.TO) is down 3.5% and Teck Cominco (TCK.B.TO) has dropped 3%.
HudBay Minerals (HBM.TO) has added 2% amid a report in the Globe and Mail that Indian mining company Lakomasko has purchased about 10% of the struggling Canadian zinc and copper producer.
Energy stocks have dropped 1.5% with crude oil falling below $50 per barrel again. AMong the big names, Savanna (SVY.TO) has dropped 3.5%, Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ.TO) is down 1.9% and Canadian Oil Sands (COS.UN.TO) is down 1.6%.
Energy stocks could also see some weakness with crude oil on the decline in the early going. Light sweet crude for June delivery dropped to $48.51, down $3.04 on the day.
Tundra Semiconductor (TUN.TO) has surged 14% after the announcement it was received an all-cash buyout offer from Integrated Device Technology at a price of C$6.25 per share or about C$120.8 million.
Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers (RBA.TO) is down 0.4%. The company said it sold US$50 million of equipment at an unreserved public auction in Moerdijk, the Netherlands last week - including US$7 million of equipment that was sold to online bidders.
The S&P/TSX Composite Index rallied 139.98 points or 1.48% to end at 9,549.48, its best finish since November 10. With the rally, Toronto's main index added 112.33 points for the week, erasing a sharp plunge from Monday.

Carney carries Canadian lessons to the Bank of England
* Cites need for speedy and transparent action
* Need to have a plan and execute it - even Plan B
* Sees power of flexible inflation targeting
* Examined switch to targeting nominal GDP
By Solarina Ho and John Tilak
TORONTO, Dec 11 (Reuters) - The Bank of Canada's Mark Carney mused about priorities in reply to a question about the lessons he would take to his next job in London, but said he would only discuss Britain's needs when he talks to a House of Commons committee next year.
Asked about lessons he would take to his next position, as the head of the Bank of England, Carney stressed the importance of speedy, transparent action to address potential flashpoints.
He felt Canadian policymakers were open about the depth of their troubles, for example, in the asset-backed commercial paper market and had benefited from the bank's flexible inflation target, which underpins monetary policy.
"We didn't have bank failures and we didn't have other issues ... in part we didn't have those because we made tough decisions in a timely fashion," said Carney, who will leave the Canadian central bank on June 1 and become Bank of England governor on July 1. Continued...

Is it a smoothie? A milkshake? A frozen summer cocktail? I like to think of it as a hybrid of all three.
You may have noticed this week that I really love sweetened condensed milk. Just a few days ago I used it in my malted sweetened condensed milk ice cream. I swear I could eat the stuff straight from the can with a spoon. It's that good. And so is this strawberries and cream cocktail smoothie. Just think- because it has fresh fruit it's like you're getting your nutrients while getting a good alcohol buzz at the same time. See? It's healthy!
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 2 small or 1½ large bananas
- ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 3 ounces (6 tablespoons) peach schnapps
- Puree all ingredients in a blender.
- Divide into 2 glasses.
- Serve immediately.

Improving Nadal eyes place in the last 16 in New York
By Simon Cambers
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Rafa Nadal, with his troublesome left wrist improving every day, will be eyeing more progress at the U.S. Open on Friday when he bids for a place in the last 16.
The two-time champion, who suffered the injury at the French Open and then missed Wimbledon, showed his form when he reached the semi-finals of the singles and won the doubles gold medal at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics last month.
Nadal takes on Russia's Andrey Kuznetsov in the third round, knowing that with each win his chances of a third U.S. Open are likely to be talked up.
"The real thing is (it is) not a big thing be in the third round again," Nadal said. "But for sure every match is important.
"That's my philosophy. That's my way to play every tournament.
"Next round is a very tough opponent. I know him well. I played him this year I think at the beginning of the season in Doha.
"He's an aggressive player. He has lots of big shots from the baseline and he's very dangerous.
"I need to improve, playing longer, playing higher, changing speeds, changing the rhythm of the ball with the slice, and then every time I need to hit more forehand winners." Continued...

Since Maya left,
I am living each day as if it were my last.
In the last two years, I took:
49 airplanes and 22 trains.
From 1/1/11 to 1/2/11 I visited 10 different cities.
I have met people.
Hundreds of them.
I have eaten stale mozzarella sandwiches,
In train stations,
Too many to count.
I am,
Another number migrating between cultures; moving towards whomever will have me. Hoping to find what I lost, somewhere along the way.
This work embraces my loss, displacement, anxiety, fears, and cultural con[fusion]. It is also a celebration of life and the people I have met along the way.
Some I like.
Some inspire me.
Some scare me, but make me feel alive.
Make me question.
I often imagine a reunion with all the people I've ever met. It could happen in a dingy hotel lobby on tables covered with crushed red velvet. Or a 24-hour Seven Eleven waiting in line to buy sky blue slurpies. Or that corner in Malpensa airport that has the only electrical plug on that whole floor. Or the steps outside of Imad's chess store in the West Village. Or that great bar in Spain where I danced with strangers all night long… Or the old Modca Café on Hamra Street in Beirut. Or the old Wimpy. Or the old Café de Paris. Or the old Walimat Warde. Or that old part of the highway where they burnt tires.

New Delhi, Dec 3: A Jet airways passenger flight missed colliding with an Air Force jet, after the pilot ignored instructions by the control room and elevated to a level of 22,000 feet.
This comes after the Jet Airways flight, carrying 130 passengers was allowed to fly at 22,000 feet. However the pilot breached the separation between the two flights and climbed at 24,000 feet.
The incident occurred somewhere above Sarsawa air force station in Uttar Pradesh. An aviation official said a potential collision was averted when an ATC official noticed on the radar monitor the deviation in altitude of Jet Airways flight 9W 469 and warned the pilots to take evasive action.
The DGCA is examining the case.

|Half Baths
|3,000 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
The historic Hendricks-Hollowell Cottage is one of the original summer homes on the East Shore. The front (lakeside) half, built in the early 1880s by our great-grandmother's sister and her husband, is a gabled Queen Anne style. The back (streetside) half of the cottage was designed in the mid-1960s by local architect Rodney Todd, in mid-century modern style with Scandinavian influences.
The cottage is furnished with sturdy antiques that have been in our family for 5+ generations. Born in 1893, our grandfather, Tommie Hendricks, spent nearly every summer of his life here, on the lake, with his cousins from Peru and Logansport. As an adult, he wrote his memoirs about growing up with his friend Cole Porter and their summer shenanigans at Maxinkuckee.
The 3500 sq.ft. cottage sits on a bank 6 feet above 100 feet of shoreline and sandy-bottom water. The original section of the cottage, constructed in the early 1880s, faces the lake and has been lovingly restored. It retains most of its original Queen Anne features, such as decorated gables and trim, wood siding, wavy glass windows, and ornate Eastlake-style door and window hardware. This historic section includes: Downstairs – furnished screened porch (700 sq. ft.) across the entire front of the house, perfect for catching lake breezes or watching glorious Maxinkuckee sunsets; large living room with wood stove; library/sunroom (a great playroom for kids) with twin daybed; bedroom with 2 twin beds; full bath with shower/tub. Upstairs –1 full bath with shower; two bedrooms: 1) queen bed, ceiling fan with large window overlooking the lake; 2) w/ full-sized poster bed, ceiling fan, windows that open to the lake breezes.
This section, typical of its time, was built as a summer house only and does not have central heat or air. With open doors and windows, the lake breezes provide ample cooling on all but the hottest nights (when fans, sleeping on the porch, or a nighttime dip might be called for!) A high-efficiency wood stove, located in the living room, and radiant electric heaters provide heat as needed to this part of the house in May and October.
The mid-century modern half of the cottage (facing East Shore Drive) has central heat and AC. It includes: Downstairs – large dining room with cathedral ceiling, glass walls, and oak table that seats 10; large screened porch with ceiling fan, double futon bed, and breakfast nook; full kitchen with refrigerator, gas stove, dishwasher, and breakfast table; half bath; laundry room with utility sink, full washer and dryer, and small second fridge. Upstairs – two bedrooms; one with two twin beds and a trundle; the other with the option of a king bed or two twin XLs. The two bedrooms share a full bath with tub/shower. Please note that the upstairs in this part of the cottage is accessed via a spiral staircase, which may not be suitable for elder family members (but which kids and others love!).
Side yard includes a brick patio, outdoor charcoal grill, hammock, and plenty of room for bocce ball or croquet (sets provided). The garage has room for one car plus bikes or other equipment. Driveway parking lot accommodates 3 large cars, and there is additional parallel parking for 2 small cars (or 1 car with trailer.)
Alongside the pier are racks for the Old Town canoe and Current Designs kayak, and a small lift for the vintage sunfish. There's room on the pier to dock a small fishing boat; additional watercraft or rafts can be anchored in the water next to the pier or at the marina.
The swimming here is wonderful for kids. At the end of the pier, the water is about 4' deep with sandy bottom. Because the lake is spring-fed, it stays cool, even during the Indiana summer.
My brother, sister, and I recently inherited our family's historic cottage. Growing up, we spent every summer here, with our parents and grandparents, swimming, boating, and enjoying the outdoors. One of us lives in Vermont and works as an environmental educator; another lives in the DC area and works at the Smithsonian's Museum of Natural History; and one is an anthropologist based in Indianapolis. Offering the cottage as a vacation rental is a way to share a very special place that will help us continue to care for and restore this historic property.
Julie Hollowell purchased this cottage in 1921
We absolutely loved our time at the cottage. The space was tremendous - we easily slept 10 adults and 2 children, and with the open eating area and multiple porches, there was plenty of room for us to spread out. We enjoyed taking the canoe out on the lake, and there was bocce ball and croquet available to play in the sizable yard.
And dealing with Julie was an absolute pleasure. She was very responsive to questions and definitely made us feel welcome in her home. I'd highly recommend staying here - I know we'd love to come back sometime.
From the moment we contacted Julie until we received our security back was a pleasure. What a true professional she was. The house was exactly as described. Great open areas, cool breezes and a wonderful grill and water toys. Was very quit and the neighbors were very friendly. We stayed in the old part of the house near the lakefront, what memories that brought back from our cottage on lake Maxinkuckee. Everything in the house worked and it had a very nice kitchen with lots of things included. The dock was great and it came with a sunfish sailboat and canoe and kayak. All were great fun. they even had sunscreen. Julie thought about everything.
The yard was nice and it was fun watering the flowers. Great hammocks. the front porch might have been the best place. Cool breezes and lots of quality chairs. Sandy beach and some sharp slippery rock at boat launch. Got charged 20 something for pulled window shade that was real old and broke but I guess that is how it goes. Parking was great and it was right across from the tennis courts. Glad Julie recycles and it had lots of environmental friendly touches. We loved the soaps and shampoos provided.
Overall a stellar experience. Thank You so much for sharing your family treasure. We especially loved the trophys and pictures in the upstairs....so much history. this family is a legend in the sailing community. Thanks Julie!!!!
The property was fantastic and the host could not have been more gracious or accommodating. There were 10 of us and there was plenty of room to be together and for people to go off and have some quite time by themselves. Every creature comfort you could imagine was available. We loved the home and the side yard and availability of the kayak.
The sandy bottom lake that was shallow and gradually got deeper was perfect for swimming and lounging and for smaller children.
The lake side screened in porch was magical and we spent many wonderful hours there talking and enjoying the spectacular sunsets.
The very large charcoal grill was great for grilling out and we really appreciated all the very nice additional touches the host provided (spare beach towels, sailboat, kayak, canoe, large cooler, etc.)
We received a lot of wind, which cooled the cottage nicely, but made mooring our 20' ski boat stressful. I don't know if we hit a very unique weather pattern or there is always substantial wind on the east side of the lake as the weather tends to come out of the west or southwest.
We would not hesitate to fully recommend this cottage or the hostess. Both were exceptional!
We just returned home from a weekend at the cottage and I just can't say enough good things about it! From the moment I got there and Julie (owner) made me feel most welcome up to the last minute when we all voiced how we wish we could stay longer! Our family was there for a niece's wedding and there were 10 of us staying in the house. There was plenty of room and supplies that no one felt crowded. The fact that it was an older house only added to the charm and we were very impressed with the antiques and decor. With the house open and the lake breeze, having no AC in the older part of the house was never an issue, it was extremely comfortable. There was plenty of floats and lounge chairs to enjoy the lake and my nephew says the sunfish sail boat was awesome!
We would rent this home again in a heartbeat! Thank you Julie and family, it was a great weekend in a beautiful home!
Two families rented for Culver's reunion weekend, four adults and four kids. couldn't have been more pleased with the location, space, views, amenities. Made us immediately feel at home because it's immediately clear that many people have enjoyed many good times here - as we did as well!
Space was a little choppy, but plenty of it. Home is historic, but not overly dated. Everything works and ran very smoothly. Next time we're there - I'd certainly call to rent again, without looking anywhere else!
Our cottage is located in the the middle of the east shore of Lake Maxinkuckee, the 2nd largest natural lake in Indiana, fed by 21 underwater springs. We are 2 hours from Indianapolis and 2 hours from downtown Chicago. The beautiful grounds of Culver Academies are 2 miles down the road; the town of Culver is 3 miles away. Lake Maxinkuckee has been a summer resort since the 1880s, when our cottage was first built (by my great grandmother's sister and her husband). Swimming,tubing, waterskiing, sailing, and paddling are daily activities on the lake from late May through September. It's an 11-mile bike ride around the lake. On Saturdays visit the Farmers' Markets in Culver or in Plymouth (our county seat, 15 miles away) where you'll find local meats, fruits, vegetables, baked goods, and crafts.

Once it was easy to see where a person stood in the world — you looked no further than their kitchen. But the status game is hotting up. Now you have to check out their second kitchen as well.
The food zone is now the ultimate status symbol — you're not a serious contender unless you have at least two kitchens, four wine coolers and a partridge in a pear tree (in your kitchen garden, obvs).
Made in Chelsea chief pouter turned MasterChef hopeful Millie Mackintosh is installing four ovens in the £1.5million Brockwell Park home she shares with Professor Green, while the Duchess of Cambridge has a "private family kitchen" in her and Prince William's Kensington palace apartment, to take the strain off their existing 350 sq ft one. Well, it's just easier.
Famous host of the kitchen supper David Cameron had a second kitchen installed at 11 Downing Street and, proving it's not just a west London thing, Shoreditch's Tinie Tempah is a two-kitchens man.
Designers are reporting rises in both the price of and demand for kitchens. Expect to pay upwards of £200,000 for your first super-kitchen. Fabled Studio refer to "heavy" kitchens where the actual work is done and "light" ones for display.
Simon Frith-Bernard, managing director of Pentangle, explains: "There will be a prep kitchen where the donkey work is done out of sight by staff and a show kitchen for spectacle."
Design Museum director Deyan Sudjic says in his book B is for Bauhaus, "it is the kitchen that has become the greatest domestic class-signifier of them all", "the place in which the affluent can be persuaded to invest in more ... than anywhere else in the home, even as the customs of shared meals [atrophies]".
The stakes are set to be raised by evolving food technology. Earlier this year Google acquired Nest Labs for £1.8 billion. Steven Saunders, director of Fabled Studio, says it's about more than just flashing cash. "Kitchens have become a status symbol to show the owner is up to date with technology." This can mean having a fridge with remote-controlled shelves or teppanyaki hotplates that can boil a litre of water from cold in 10 seconds.
If you have to make do with just one kitchen, it will be filled with at least two of everything. James Forbes, partner at the Knightsbridge office of estate agent Strutt & Parker, says: "People will expect two ovens or dishwashers." Frith-Bernard says steam ovens are popular while wine coolers "seem to go in every development".
The dream is for your kitchen to win an architecture award. Jane Stewart, design director of Mowlem & Co Kitchens, says having a gong-winning designer "gives clients a sense of confidence and reassurance". And the market for bespoke kitchens has increased. Stewart says: "We will work around their kitchen garden, or import blocks of marble, or work with talented artisans on pewter doors."
Once you have the kitchen, having the right people to run it is essential. At one London concierge agency a client pays £600 every week to have someone throw out all the old food in their fridge, like a reverse-Ocado.
So next time, don't just ask where someone lives but ask how many taps they have. It's deliciously competitive.Reuse content

Chile central bank considered both hold and hike in Nov - minutes
SANTIAGO Nov 27 (Reuters) - Chile's central bank considered hiking interest rates at its November policy meeting but policymakers agreed unanimously to keep the rate at 3.25 percent to ensure stimulus withdrawal was gradual, minutes from the meeting showed on Friday.
The bank had hiked the rate in October for the first time in a year, by 25 basis points, and has said that a further reduction of monetary stimulus is likely over the next few months.
November's minutes showed all the bank's board agreed that recent macroeconomic variables were in line with its forecasts. (Reporting by Gram Slattery; Editing by Catherine Evans)

Jenna Schultz MySpace
St. Paul, Minn. (The Weekly Vice) - Jenna Anne Schultz, a 26-year-old student teacher at Simley High School, has been jailed after she allegedly stalked a 17-year-old student with text messages and a naked photo.
According to police, Schultz reportedly sent text messages, Facebook messages and a nude photograph of herself to a Simley High School student who apparently didn't want the attention.
Investigators say the messages and photograph were sent between May 11 and May 14. The boy reported the inappropriate contact to school officials who, in turn, reported the matter to police.
During a police interview, Schultz reportedly admitted to taking the explicit photo, but claimed that she must have been drunk when she sent the photograph to the student.
The photograph in question reportedly showed Schultz completely naked with one leg raised, according to an arrest affidavit.
Schultz began student teaching in April and was scheduled to teach through the end of the school year.
She was booked into jail and charged with two felony counts of stalking and a misdemeanor count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

text: Earlier this year we told you about an Otis woman who was starting a horse therapy program, to help teach children with autism and special needs.Last week the non-profit Springy Pond Farm kicked off its "Ride to Read" program, and welcomed its first official students.Today was seven-year-old Zach's second visit to Springy Pond Farm in Otis. He has autism, and medical needs that at one time almost claimed his life. But now, his mother, Michelle Neal, says he's doing well."He talked about it all week. He loved it. He loves Jen too," Neal says.Jennifer Cammack has been Zach's occupational therapist for the past two years. Now she's working with him in her "Ride to Read" program, using specially trained horses on her farm to help teach everything from life skills to letters and numbers."It's a 'z.' What sound does 'z' make? 'zzzz.' Very good!""We're using the horse and the movement of the horse to facilitate attention and to stimulate a lot of language and learning in his brain," Cammack says. "One of Zach's greatest challenges is staying on task and attentive to something. Today's session was three times as long as last week's session so he's already showing progress, which is really exciting."Zach's mom says the farm is about an hour-and-a half drive from her home, but she would drive even farther for a program that helps her son this much."You can see how calm he is compared to before. He was all over the place," Neal says. "Jen is awesome. We feel very blessed to have her as his OT, and this just feels, watching, it's like a miracle."Cammack says community support has helped the farm achieve its early success. Now the non-profit is actively fundraising to keep growing, and help more students attend when insurance doesn't cover the entire cost. She says she couldn't be happier to see Springy Pond Farm up and running. "Oh," she says, "it's my dream come true."You can reach Springy Pond Farm at 356-2169, or online: http://www.springypondfarm.org/.

Whether it's just the two sweethearts or you've got the whole family with you, there are some very lovable ways to celebrate Valentine's Day at Disneyland. Keep reading for sweet ways to celebrate Valentine's Day at Disneyland from morning to night!

Ways to Celebrate Valentine's Day at Disneyland
Start off the day on either a sweet or a savory note. Since you may indulge in some sweet treats through the day, might be best to have some protein in your tummy first! We like to grab breakfast inside Downtown Disney District and eat while we wait for rope drop. There are hearty (and low-priced) breakfast sandwiches at either Earl of Sandwich or La Brea Bakery. Or sip and go with a fruit smoothie from Jamba Juice.
Inside the parks if you're prefer a leisurely breakfast with your sweetie-pie, you can dine on Mickey waffles, eggs, bacon and fruit at Carnation Cafe and watch the crowds rushing by. And if you want to start the day with something sweet, swing into Jolly Holly Bakery and Cafe for a cinnamon roll or muffin.
A Fresh Bouquet
If you're staying at a Disneyland Resort Hotel, consider a call to Disney Floral & Gift for the delivery of a magical floral arrangement. They can also go all out with romantic in-room decor like rose petals on the bed, spa robes and chocolate covered strawberries! If you're celebrating the love with the whole family, they even have collections that include something for everyone, like red roses for Mom and sweet treats for the kids.
A Sweet Souvenir
Keep your eyes open for adorable love-inspired souvenirs in the Disneyland shops, including this Mickey & Minnie boutique lace-trimmed bag!
If you like to purchase your souvenirs online and have them arrive to you at home, shop the Disney Store online. They have dozens of precious Valentine's Day themed items that will delight everyone.
Sweet Sips and Snacks
Enjoy a classic afternoon tea at Steakhouse 55 inside the Disneyland Hotel.

A Valentine's Day Gift
Pop into the Pandora shop in New Orleans Square for a Valentine's Day gift she'll never forget (or buy it early online via Disney Store and have it ready for gifting at the parks!)
Dinner for Two
Perhaps your Valentine's Day at Disney will be spent with just the two of you? A romantic dinner is in order then and Disneyland has some special meals planned.
On Valentine's Day The Blue Bayou will feature a special menu item: Lobster A L'Americaine, a rich blend of lobster sauce, roasted lobster tail, snow crab, sautéed mahi and potatoes in a creamy lobster-cognac sauce with onions, celery and peas.
If you're looking for an amazing splurge the ultra upscale Napa Rose inside Disney's Grand Californian has a 4-course meal that includes a wine flight. Be sure to book your Advance Dining Reservations early for these meals!
Purchase discounted Disney parks tickets upfront with Park Savers.
Watch the Sunset
Finding a lovely spot to watch the setting sun at the Disney resort is a perfect way to close out the day. The sun will set behind Mickey's Fun Wheel so catch a ride on this Ferris wheel for a panoramic view. Or grab a drink at Wine Country Trattoria and take a seat on the steps in Paradise Park (located in front of the Little Mermaid ride, where World of Color is shown). Or dine on the patio at Carthay Circle for a view over the crowds.
Dinner for the Family
Several other Disney restaurant locations will be offering Valentine's Day dinners that are inclusive of the entire family. Carnation Cafe will be serving up Surf & Turf featuring sirloin steak, shrimp skewer, mashed potatoes, sautéed broccoli, sun-dried tomato butter and herb beurre blanc sauce.

Background: Experimental studies and retrospective analyses of mortality trials with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-Is) have suggested that aspirin may reduce the beneficial effect of these drugs. The aim of this study was to assess a possible detrimental effect of aspirin on survival in stable patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction who had congestive heart failure and had been treated with ACE-Is.
Methods and results: We performed a retrospective analysis in 755 consecutive stable patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction. A Cox regression model was used to select independent predictors of survival and to test for a possible interaction between aspirin and ACE-Is with an adjustment to differences in clinical characteristics in subgroups of patients. Of the 755 patients, 328 (43.4%) had proven ischemic cardiomyopathy, 693 patients (91.8%) were receiving ACE-Is, and 317 patients were receiving aspirin (mean [± SD] dose, 183 ± 65 mg/d; 74% of the patients receiving ≤ 200 mg/d). During a median follow-up period of 1,996 days, there were 273 cardiac-related deaths, 14 urgent transplantations, 71 nonurgent transplantations, and 46 noncardiac-related deaths, and 3 patients were lost to follow-up. The cardiovascular mortality rates were 11.5% and 19.0%, respectively, at 1 and 2 years. There were no interactions among aspirin, ACE-Is, and survival in the overall population (p = 0.21), or in subgroups of patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (p = 0.41) or with nonischemic cardiomyopathy (p = 0.74).
Conclusions: In this population of stable patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction, our retrospective analysis did not demonstrate any interaction between the use of aspirin and survival in patients receiving ACE-Is.

Every morning I read the Mirror, the Sun and the Times on the train to get all the showbiz news for the show. At the weekends I get the Saturday Telegraph for the supplements; the Saturday Times for the style and fashion; the Sunday Times for Style magazine; the Observer Music Monthly, which is brilliant; and the Mail on Sunday for You magazine.
We're one of those houses where the pile of magazines is taller than the toilet. I read the NME every week and I look forward to Tuesdays when Heat and Grazia come out. Then there's Elle, Vogue, Red. I also like Living etc and Grand Designs and Junior because I've got kids.
I go through phases of reading loads of magazines then slapping myself around the face and thinking this is ridiculous, you're just not reading books. At the moment I'm reading Little Earthquakes by Jennifer Weiner. I've just discovered her. The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger was the one before that - the best book I've read in ages.
I've got three kids so I watch an awful lot of SpongeBob SquarePants, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends and Brainiac. MTV's always on in one of the rooms. Spankin' New on MTV2 is my favourite. I watch Later, Top of the Pops, although I don't like it being on Sunday night; and T4. I love My Name is Earl and Seinfeld.
Obviously I listen to Radio 1, especially in the evenings. I listen to Zane Lowe because I love the music he's playing and he's a brilliant broadcaster. Sarah Kennedy on Radio 2 amuses me in the mornings because of her mispronunciations and strange animal-effect noises.
I'm always quite impressed with the music used in adverts. I like the ask.com one at the moment, which is using a band called Iron and Wine.

RBC seeking ARS deal with U.S. regulators: report
TORONTO (Reuters) - Royal Bank of Canada (RY.TO: Quote) is in settlement talks with U.S. regulators over its role in the troubled U.S. auction-rate securities market, the Globe and Mail newspaper said on Friday.
The move may result in the bank buying back some of the investments from retail clients, the paper said.
It said an internal memo to brokers confirmed that RBC it has been in talks with New York Attorney-General Andrew Cuomo.
Calls to RBC were not immediately returned.
Cuomo and other state regulators have been bearing down on dealers that sold the complex securities to investors before the market seized up this spring.
The newspaper said RBC's exposure to the market is smaller than that of bigger players. It cited an unnamed source who estimated the RBC has about $1 billion of auction-rate securities held by individuals and charities.
RBC has not yet repurchased these securities because the structure of any buyback depends on regulatory approval, the newspaper cited the note as saying.
"RBC is committed to addressing the problem of retail clients who hold auction-rate securities," the letter said. "We have expressed our willingness to work with regulators to develop and implement a program to provide liquidity to certain individual clients, and small businesses and charities."
This week, Merrill Lynch & Co Inc MER.N, Deutsche Bank (DBKGn.DE: Quote) and Goldman Sachs (GS.N: Quote) were the latest to settle with states led by Cuomo, agreeing to buy back billions of dollars of auction-rate securities. Continued...

Four O3b satellite broadband modules have been successfully launched into space.
The system was taken up by an advanced Soyuz system, which had an upgraded RD-0124 third stage engine, to a low orbit.
A previous attempt 24 hours earlier had resulted in failure due to high winds - leading to a short delay, although it is still expected the service will come online at some point later this year.
The O3b system will launch high speed broadband - similar to that offered by Avonline - to consumers across poorer countries in Africa, Oceania, Central America and South East Asia.
Many communities in these regions suffer from difficulties in accessing networks because they live in rural areas or because of chronic power and infrastructure failures.
However, it is thought the O3b launch will rectify this issue, although due to its orbital-path, no consumers in North America or Europe will be able to access the utility. UK consumers can, however, still access services from Avonline.

Prior to tanning salons, the only way to achieve a beautiful copper glow was to boil pennies and bathe in the scalding reduction. Achieve a less painful sheen with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $23 for one month of unlimited bed tanning (a $46 value)

Mickelson shrugs off probe, tunes up in Memphis
(Reuters) - Phil Mickelson has pushed aside the distraction of a federal probe to warm up for the U.S. Open at this week's FedEx St. Jude Classic in Memphis, Tennessee.
Mickelson has stayed committed to his golf even as reports swirled last week that U.S. investigators were looking into possible insider trading by the five-time major winner, billionaire activist investor Carl Icahn and Las Vegas gambler William Walters.
The 43-year-old Mickelson, who confirmed the investigation on Saturday but denied any wrongdoing, was a runnerup to Harris English last year at TPC Southwind before finishing second behind Englishman Justin Rose in the U.S. Open at Merion.
Hoping to go one better in both events this time around, Mickelson spent time at Pinehurst No. 2 earlier this week before heading to Memphis ready to attack the golf course as the tournament's headline act.
He comes in without great form to speak of, having not posted a top 10 finish on the U.S. tour this season.
Should he fail to do so this week it would be the first time in his professional career to arrive at a national championship without a top 10 on his early season record.
The last time he headed to the U.S. Open without a good result was 1992 as a fresh-faced 21-year-old amateur.
"I would have liked to have better performances this year. I need to get four good rounds and get some momentum for next week," Mickelson told reporters following his Pro-am round Wednesday.
"I love this golf course as a preparation for next week. The areas around the greens, which are critical next week at Pinehurst, are very similar here. Continued...

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 172275
system-config-lvm crashes on startup

Description of problem:
system-config-lvm crashes on startup. The problem seems similar to 169860, but I'm not sure if it's the same problem.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

IndexError: list index out of range
Expected Results: runs normally
Additional info:
This is almost certainly a result of some recent work I had done with lvm. I added a new usb drive, and used system-config-lvm to add it to the pool for LogVol00. This seems to have been a mistake. The next time I rebooted the system to win/XP, it booted fine, but then when I rebooted to fc4, it complained right at the start of the boot process that it could not find an element of VolGroup00 (namely the new drive), generating a kernel panic. I was unable to get fc4 to boot at all. I'm guessing that this is because the boot sequence meant that it was trying to mount VolGroup00 before the usb drivers had been installed. After repeated attempts, I resorted to using vgreduce to remove the physical drive from VolGroup00. That enabled fc4 to reboot, but now system-config-lvm won't run (am I right in guessing that this may be because the lvm tables and its own internal tables are now inconsistent?)
Sorry, now explained. The crash occurred because VolGroup00 was inconsistent -
it was marked as not including the deleted physical volume, but the physical
volume still considered itself part of VolGroup00. Once this was repaired,
system-config-lvm works fine. (I guess this could be left as a request for
enhancement, ie that system-config-lvm check consistency, and if it detects an
inconsistency, fail gracefully with a message to the user explaining what the
inconsistency is - ideally, even what to do about it)

All the visits went well with each of them having certain factors that stood out. As far as how his visit went Thursday in Stillwater, Morrow had these comments.
"From the beginning they gave us all the information we needed to help make a decision," said Morrow. "They took us on a tour of everything and made us feel very much at home. Of course, at Oklahoma State the facilities are going to be very impressive. It is that making us feel at home that really stands out."
Morrow and his family including his mother, who has really enjoyed checking out all the schools, got to spend time with cornerbacks coach Jason Jones, defensive coordinator Bill Young, and plenty of time with head coach Mike Gundy.
Morrow said he will now start comparing each of the schools to determine which one would fit him the best.
"I'm not going to rush my decision and I will take my time," he said. "I would like to have a decision by the end of the summer and before football begins."
As a junior, Morrow had his season cut short after six games because of injury but he had 24 tackles with two interceptions on defense. On offense at receiver, he had 26 receptions for 638 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Linguistic & Translation Software
ParaTExt 7
ParaTExt is a tool which allows you to input, edit, check and submit for publication a translation of the Scriptures.
The program enables the translator to input a first or revised draft of the text and check and review that draft against the biblical source texts and a selection of model translations and resource materials in electronic format. The UBS Translation Handbook Series complement and enhance the resources of the major Bible versions included with Paratext. The Handbooks are detailed commentaries providing exegetical, historical, cultural, and linguistic information on the books of the Bible. They are prepared primarily to assist Bible translators.
Translators and project co-ordinators can use a wide variety of checking tools in Paratext and related programs for checking the text for accuracy and consistency, in order to develop a 'clean' electronic database of their text. This one database of text can then serve as a basis for electronic typesetting or production of a range of different editions and formats in a variety of media.

Lucky, there's one victim was found, specifically associate yankee Indian named Tonto. Ranger wore a mask and riding a white horse named Silver joined with Tonto to bring the unscrupulous gang to justice.

This time, the threat comes from businessman Latham Cole (Tom Wilkinson) – UN agency utilizes the recent invention of railroad technology to carve a path of malevolence on his thanks to cash and power. can the 2 unlikely heroes stop Cole before the greedy offender will secure power and authority that might form the West all told the incorrect ways? Hi-yo, Silver! Away!
Fate brings along Native yankee spirit soul Tonto (Johnny Depp) and white peace officer John Reid (Armie Hammer) to affix forces within the endless battle against corruption and greed.
The Lone Ranger teaser trailer isn't most regarding introducing previous West heroes John Reid (Armie Hammer) and Tonto (Johnny Depp) – in reality, they're barely in it. Instead, it foremost offers a peek at the antediluvian trains utilized in Gore Verbinski's western – that partially account for the calculable $200-250 million tag and principle photography taking 4-5 months (in such places as Monument natural depression and Moab).
Of course, Depp and Verbinski are not any strangers to operating with huge budgets and shooting on location in unspoiled terrains, when Pirates of the Caribbean.

Fairmont The Norfolk
Day 2 Amboseli National Park
Drive to Amboseli National Park at the base of snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest freestanding mountain in the world at 5,895 metres. As you set out on your first game drive, keep your eyes peeled for wildlife; Amboseli is famous for its large herds of elephant and is home to all the big cats (lion, leopard and cheetah), giraffe and zebra, hyena and several varieties of plains game. Back at camp in the evening, there is a welcome dinner, an opportunity to meet your fellow travellers.
(2017 Departures) Tawi Lodge | Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Day 3 Amboseli National Park
A full day on safari; in between morning and late-afternoon game drives, visit the Amboseli Elephant Research Project to learn about elephant family structure, social behaviour, life cycle and habits.
(2017 Departures) Tawi Lodge | Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Day 4 Tarangire National Park
Set off in the morning for the Tanzanian border and on to Tarangire National Park, where you'll be staying at Sanctuary Swala, a luxurious camp with large tents built on platforms under a canopy of umbrella acacia trees, overlooking the Gurusi flood plain. Tarangire's wide panoramas of beautiful baobab-punctuated stretch in every direction, fed and nurtured by the Tarangire River and populated by an abundance of big game, including lion, leopard, elephant and buffalo, plus giraffe, zebra and numerous species of antelope. Its dusty red landscape also hosts a large bird population and lesser game through the groundwater forest.
Sanctuary Swala | Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Day 5 Tarangire National Park
Spend morning and afternoon game drives exploring Tarangire, looking out for wildlife with the spectacular rust-hued Great Rift Valley providing the backdrop. Between drives, you may like to take a cooking demonstration and tasting of local delicacies such as ugali, makande and kahumari. As dusk falls on your afternoon game drive, the nocturnal animals wake up, opening up the possibility of spotting more species –leopards tend to hunt after dark so this is the best time to see one, unless you've been lucky enough to see one during the day, most likely to be asleep in a sausage tree. You might also see African wildcat, genets, servals or civets, which are all active by night. Specialised spotlighting illuminates the path in front, catching the glint of an eye –and once spotted, it's amazing how quickly your eyes adjust to night time vision.
Sanctuary Swala | Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Day 6 Ngorongoro Crater
Travelling overland across the Rift Valley towards the Ngorongoro Crater, stop en route in the town of Mto wa Mbuo to experience its colourful, lively market. Arrive at Gibb's Farm, situated on the forested slopes of the Ngorongoro Conservation area, on the outermost side of the crater. Established as a coffee farm in the 1920s, Gibb's Farm is now a charming boutique lodge, growing its own organic vegetables used to supply the kitchens. It is a tranquil setting for afternoon tea followed by time to relax or walk around the beautiful grounds.
Gibb's Farm | Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
8th, 22nd Feb and 13th Sep departures will be staying at The Manor
Day 7 Ngorongoro Crater
Set out for a full-day game's viewing in the Ngorongoro crater, a 609 metre caldera that is a natural amphitheatre for an incredible concentration of wildlife including the highly endangered black rhino, and a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. Before returning to Gibb's Farm, there is the opportunity to visit a Maasai village where you will be introduced to an elder who will provide an insight into nomadic tribal culture and traditions of the Maasai.
Gibb's Farm | Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
8th, 22nd Feb and 13th Sep departures will be staying at The Manor
Days 8 – 10 Serengeti National Park
Set off on a drive to the Serengeti National Park, stopping en route at Olduvai Gorge, one of the world's most important paleoanthropological sites in the world, the place where the earliest hominid fossils, dating back 1.75 million years, were found by Louis and Mary Leakey in 1959. A private guide will show you around this UNESCO listed site and museum. Continue towards the Serengeti, a vast savannah landscape dotted with rocky outcrops (kopje), much beloved by lion. The Serengeti is a destination for the Great Migration, the constant movement of hundreds of thousands of wildebeest and zebra between the Serengeti in the south to the Masai Mara in the north, in search of grass and water as the seasons change, predators following in their wake. Over the next two days of safari, you are likely to witness all sorts of amazing wildlife sightings on morning and afternoon game drives.
Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti | Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Day 11 Masai Mara Game Reserve
Fly to the Masai Mara via Arusha and Nairobi. After settling into your luxurious riverside camp located on the bank of the mighty Mara River, immerse yourself in the landscape and its wildlife during an afternoon game drive, following the Mara River to see basking crocodiles, wallowing hippos and mischievous monkeys. The Mara, the northern extension of the Serengeti, is famous for vast numbers of plains game and big cat predators, especially its large prides of lion. There are over 500 species of birds to be spotted, including bateleur eagles, fish eagles, secretary birds, lilac-breasted rollers and tiny malachite kingfishers. Join fellow travellers for cocktails, followed by dinner made from ingredients many of which are grown in the camp's gardens.
Sanctuary Olonana | Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Days 12 – 13 Masai Mara Game Reserve
Spend two full days exploring the open savannah, woodlands and tree-fringed rivers of the Masai Mara, where patience is often rewarded with amazing sightings. Game viewing is never dull in the Mara, especially when the dramatic annual Great Migration unfolds. If you are incredibly lucky, you may even witness a spectacular, if traumatic, river crossing where the stream of wildebeest crash through the Mara River to reach fresh grass on the other side, while crocodiles lie in wait. Amid the stunning scenery, you may also see Maasai tribesmen and the younger men, known as Moran, traverse the plains to herd their goats and cattle.
Sanctuary Olonana | Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Day 14 Depart Nairobi
Fly back to Nairobi and spend the afternoon relaxing at the Fairmont Norfolk where you have access to a day room. In the evening, you will be driven to the airport for your flight home.

BEIRUT (AFP) – The US-led coalition hit Islamic State (IS) group targets in Syria's central province of Homs for the first time Saturday as it pressed what Washington says are "near continuous" strikes, a monitoring group said.
The coalition also targeted IS in the town of Minbej, east of second city Aleppo, for the first time, as well as multiple targets in the militant heartland province of Raqa, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman said the targets hit in Homs province were far away from the front line with forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad, who control Homs city, Syria's third largest.
"The US-Arab coalition has for the first time struck IS bases in the eastern desert of Homs province," Abdel Rahman said, adding that the positions were in the area of Al-Hammad, east of ancient city Palmyra.
Washington has been keen not to let Assad's forces exploit the air campaign against IS to take the upper hand in the more than three-year-old civil war.
In eastern Aleppo province – the western limit of IS control – the coalition hit several targets in Minbej, said the Observatory, which relies on a broad network of activists and doctors for its reports.
Further east, the coalition pounded the city of Raqa, which the militants have made their headquarters, the Britain-based group said.
"At least 31 explosions were heard in Raqa city and its surroundings."
The strikes also hit IS targets around the town of Tabqa, which houses an air base whose capture by the militants last month sealed their occupation of the whole of Raqa province, as well as two training camps, the Observatory added.

unEarthed Sampling Stealth Wind KONTAKT | 154 Mb
It was originally introduced from China into Japan in the 8th century and underwent a resurgence in the early Edo Period. The Shakuhachi is traditionally made of Bamboo, but versions now exist in ABS and Hardwoods. It was used by the monks of the Fuke school of Zen Buddhism in the practice of suizen. It was also a favorite of Film Composer James Horner and used on countless of his film scores.
Stealth Wind sets out to capture that "James Horner" cinematic shakuhachi vibe through the use of carefully selected / recorded phrases (both ethnic and cinematic) along with some craftily sampled multisampled staccatos and sustains. While the main vibe of the sound is centered around stealth and sneaking ninjas, there are also quite a few ethnic phrases and motifs which are on the lighter and more traditional side of things.
Outside of the two separate cinematic phrase patches and two ethnic patches, there are also various staccato patches, a handful of low "Elephant Calls" which definitely ooze cinematic goodness, and "Enigma Calls" which, as the name suggests, stem from various re-recordings and takes of a certain Shakuhachi sample used extensively by the artist Enigma.
Let it be known that this library is NOT full of loads of legato articulations, but sets out to be more of an ethnic accent for your game and film scores. This library was recorded by utilizing a couple of the most amazing Shakuhachi players we could find, Jon Johnston and Jonathan McCollum.
