Having problems with your Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T20 Digital Camera ?
Sony DSC-T2 camera shake
\015 Hi!I have a Sony DSC-T2 digital camera that's just gone out of warranty (31st May) - typical!? The camera has started vibrating sometimes when turned on and the photos come out fuzzy. When opening the camera (by pulling the front part down) it starts to vibrate quite noisily. Sometimes it settles down after a second or two and works as normal. Other times it continues to vibrate and the view is shaky and photos come out shaky too. If I close the front part when it's whirring then it often continues to vibrate for around 10secs afterwards. Have you got any idea what could be causing this?Thanks,Alex\015

Deadly Double(2005)
A novel by Adrianne Byrd
Instead of lounging in the luxury of her Atlanta home, Josie opens her eyes to find herself in a mental hospital with no memory of how she got there. Why won't they let her leave? Why do they think she's dangerous? And why does everyone insist on calling her "Michelle"?
Only one man believes that the beautiful imprisoned patient is Josephine Ferrell -- a doctor, William Hayes, who's willing to risk his career and his safety to help her escape. Spiriting the frightened young woman to a temporary sanctuary, they join forces in a desperate hunt for answers, keeping one step ahead of an intensive police manhunt for a missing patient they believe is a cold-blooded murderer.

Waste and recycling franchising has become a major topic of discussion in the two largest cities in the United States. Los Angeles is implementing a zone franchising system for businesses and large apartment buildings. Meanwhile, in New York City, an advocacy group has called for the city to adopt such a system.
The waste and recycling option of franchising allows a municipality to establish zones and then contract, typically exclusively, with a hauler within that zone. Proponents

Forewarned is forearmed, sort of
Have you noticed the long string of warnings in TV commercials for prescription drugs?
How could you miss it? It's downright scary. Takes up half of the evening news. The drug companies know their audience, don't they? Only geezers watch TV news. News has not yet become relevant to the young. (But just wait, young people!)
I'm afraid to go see a doctor anymore. I might wind up with one of those prescriptions. Their side effects sound riskier than the ailment.

To the Republicans: We Won't Stand for Your Stealing What We Won Fair and Square
In 2012, Americans engaged in the constitutional process for deciding who would get the powers of the presidency.
In that election, millions of us Americans won an important right: to have our guy name the person to fill a vacancy on the Supreme Court if any were to open up. We won it fair and square.
We can talk about the president's constitutional responsibilities and privileges, but ultimately this about the rights of us American citizens who participate in the American electoral process.

People shower lots of attention on military veterans today.
Perhaps it's because we now have an all-volunteer military. Maybe it's because with the proliferation of media now, the average American knows more about our troops engaged in military activity all over the world. Perhaps it's the new patriotism since 9/11. Whatever the reason, people in our country shower a lot of attention on helping veterans of the military service.

Charles Manson Endorses Ted Cruz
Convicted psychotic mass murderer Charles Manson announced Monday he is throwing his support behind Texas Senator Ted Cruz, which came as a shock to GOP analysts who had long expected Manson to back Trump.
"I believe he'll bring order to this race and this country that, frankly, has been a little helter-skelter during the Obama administration," said Manson from Corcoran State Prison in California, where he is serving a life sentence for the infamous Tate-Labianca murders in the summer of 1969.

Cruz Says He Will Carpet Bomb Iowa
Iowa City, Iowa — Fresh off a bruising debate with Donald Trump, Texas Senator Ted Cruz said he is left with no choice but to carpet bomb Iowa.
"That state is as threatening as ISIS because it could destroy America by not allowing me to be elected president," said Cruz during a campaign stop with his two young daughters who were working the crowd asking for donations and posing for pictures with complete strangers who gave them candy.

Patridiot Standoff Continues
Day 15.
Standoff continues. Patridiots not budging, holding firm on demands of more clean underwear and Febreze. Feds yet to show up or give a damn.
No shots were fired again today to the deep disappointment of the Yee-hadists within the Patridiot's compound. "We are at serious risk of not being taken seriously" one Patridiot exclaimed. "Christ, they may think we're some sort of hippie, peace-nik group if there ain't a little blood shed soon" another one complained.
"Now I know how Davy Crockett must have felt before any of the Mexicans showed up at the Alamo." claimed Burfurd T. Mudflap.

in the name of religion
A Matter of Perspective
Balm for the afflicted. Opiate of the masses. Fairy tales. Myth. The deepest truths.
Religion is a lot of things.
In today's various wars – the War on Terrorism, the Culture Wars, the Jihad Against the Great Satan and the Little Satan, and the ever-popular War on Christmas (!), religion is a key element, if not the key element. Religion inspires us to do and be our best – but through so much of history, religion also has inspired us to kill and hate one another.

People Who Go For Trump's "Hate Your Neighbor" Posture
If a person has a hostile relationship with a neighbor, we don't know if the problem is with one of them, or the other, or some of both. But if someone has a hostile relationship with all his or her neighbors, would you not agree there must be something amiss with that person?
And so it is with that part of the American electorate that is rallying to the support of Donald Trump as he — the current frontrunner for the Republican nomination for president — expresses hostility to one major group among us after another.

Every now and then a big-time civil settlement makes sense and is good for our country.

One story said all the low-income students needed was "a pulse and a Pell (grant)" for the colleges to enroll them…

OK then, Canada it is. I've been looking for a country to move to in case Donald Trump gets elected president. That country's decision to not only take in some of the flood of migrants from Mid-Eastern countries but to welcome them warmly helped me make up my mind.
Or I might go ahead and move there anyway. When a Christian school urges its students to arm themselves and gun sales nationwide are higher than ever, when mass shootings are everyday…

Trump Is But the Mirror…
It's understandable that the media give wall-to-wall coverage to Donald Trump: he gives them great ratings. But at this point, it is not Trump himself we should be focusing on.
By now, we've gotten a good look at what Trump is up to, and the spirit he is serving. When even Republicans are using the word "fascist" to describe Trump's message, the picture has surely become clear enough.

Where were you?
It was a beautiful Saturday morning to be in Woodruff Park. About 70 degrees. Broken clouds to keep the sun from feeling too hot. It was so easy to be there.
Any excuse to get outside in mid-December was welcomed. Our excuse was the third anniversary of the Sandy Hook shootings. The idea was pretty simple: we would meet in the park to remember the 20 children and six adults killed December 14, 2012 at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, Connecticut.
Task Force Created to Attack Fearbola
The American Medical Association has announced Fearbola is now recognized as a legitimate disease and warrants further investigation by the medical profession as to treatment and prevention.
"The abnormal and uncontrollable fear of terrorists can have profound detrimental impact on the individual as well as our economy if it goes untreated," said Dr. Oscar Kemper of the AMA. "Having people afraid to leave their homes and live in fear of what might happen is a recipe for a neutered society."
Republicans Introduce Legislation to Make Guns and Ammo Affordable for All Americans
Congressional Republicans moved swiftly Tuesday to change the subject from banishing all Muslims from entering this country to passing new legislation that will make it beside the point because every single American will have a gun.
If passed, the Affordable Guns & Ammo Act (AG&AA) will cut prices on assault rifles for middle class families by as much as 40 percent and require employers to buy workers up to 1000 rounds a month, or face stiff fines, said GOP officials.

Congress and the Senate today vowed to do everything in their power to do absolutely nothing about the mass shootings today. Which shooting you ask? I don't know, pick one, there are far too many to keep track of.
The Speaker of the house, Paul Ryan, in an interview today said "We don't want to rush to judgment and take away the rights from any red-blooded, all-American, shit-for-brains that simply wants a big-ass gun. His right to stupid supersedes your right to life, liberty and the pursuit of breathing…

It was well covered in the news, the local reporter says. And, indeed, the Atlanta Journal Constitution has been on the story for a long time. After all, the shooting of Caroline Small, by two Glynn County, Georgia, cops, occurred over five years ago, well before cops shooting citizens became a topic of national disgust.
About a month ago, some strangers with a camera showed up at the Glynn County Commission meeting, but nobody knew why they were there. The only thing that happened that night, which the visitors might have noted, but probably didn't, was that the Commission passed an imprudent resolution…

Dangerous or Wonderful, the Choice Is Ours
It's a sad sentiment voiced loudly and with much distress in these times: what a dangerous world we live in! It's as true as it always has been.
I don't remember the exact moment I was sentenced to die. Then again, it was over 56 years ago and I was but a millisecond old at the time. Yet, the instant I welcomed that first gasping breath into my infant lungs, I also accepted my fate. Someday, I would die.
It wasn't that day – nor has it happened with any of the roughly 20,513 sunrises since. But it will. I surely didn't know then, but it's been a fact of my life for a long, long time now that someday it will end.

"You are not being persecuted for your beliefs when you are merely being denied the privilege of shoving them down someone else's throat." – The Bard of Affliction
Several months ago, there was a lot of Sturm und Drang over one Kim Davis, a Kentucky county clerk who had garnered a certain amount of notoriety for having refused to issue wedding licenses to same-sex couples despite having been ordered by the courts to do so. Putting her name on said licenses would (she had said) imply her approval of same-sex marriages, something she felt she could not do based on her religious beliefs.

Pilgrims On A Tempest-Tossed Sea
A friend recently told me that her great grandmother to the ninth generation was aboard the Mayflower. The young lady in question arrived in what was to become this country when she was only four. Living to be eighty-three and becoming a matriarch directly linked to at least fifty grandchildren, she was obviously a most incredible woman. But what also struck me about her story was that her future father-in-law was the leader of a Purists/Separatists/Dissenters group in Holland. In one of his sermons, he said: "But now we are all, in all places, strangers and pilgrims, travelers and sojourners."

Conflict, Hegemony and the Rule of Force by Noam Chomsky
In an interview with ABC news correspondent Martha Raddatz pointed out to Dick Cheney that a majority of citizens opposed the war in Iraq. Cheney replied, "So?"
Martha asked, "You don't care what the American people think?"
He said, "NO." Cheney then goes on to say that we can't be subject to fluctuations in opinion polls.
A White House spokesman was asked later if this meant the government didn't think the public should have input. The spokesman remarked that the public has input every four years.
Researchers Say Fox News Causes Brain Damage in Rats
Researchers said Tuesday that watching Fox News caused brain damage in rats. They said they're not sure what that means, but the results are conclusive.
After watching "The O'Reilly Factor" and "Hannity" for six months the rats were never the same.
"They got more hostile and I would venture to say more irrational," said University of Wisconsin researcher, Ralph Phillips, who led the study that was published in the November issue of the science journal Mind Bender.

Why Climate Change Should be a Conservative Issue
The word "conservative" means something different today than it used to.
Conservatives have traditionally understood the importance of stability—and the dangers of disrupting the established order. They considered it a responsibility to preserve their heritage and pass it down intact to the next generation.
Conservatives have been the guardians of tradition because they saw that what our forebears created is a great achievement, built with difficulty over time.

Pause a moment to pity temporary front runner Ben Carson for his poor performance at the Third Republican-CNBC Debate in Boulder. Perhaps 'non-performance' is the right word.

You only notice that Carson is boring when he is faced with any competition for attention on the stage. Between his soft, slightly slurred voice and the rambling illogic of his story-telling…

Georgia to Build "We Exhibit – You Decide" Racial Strife Museum
Georgia plans to build a "We Exhibit – You Decide" racial strife museum atop Stone Mountain to address the state's long and troubled history of discrimination against dozens of minorities and blacks by making it a tourist attraction.
The museum will offer exhibits on both sides of the controversy over civil rights: people for them, and people against them. And, instead of passing judgement, the museum will allow people to decide for themselves, said Georgia Governor Nathan Deal in an afternoon press conference.

You might not get much in your morning newspaper if reporters didn't turn in stories by a certain time. Deadlines keep reporters — and columnists — on task. If there were not a specific time limit to submit a story for publication, the story might never get written. There's always somebody else you can call or interview.
Like newspapers, courts set deadlines frequently. Time limits provide some certainty in the often long, convoluted judicial process and move cases along toward conclusions…
we got this one
Don't do it, Joe
Joe, we love ya, but please don't run for president.
You are the man when it comes to defense and foreign affairs. You were there for the Bosniaks in 1994 when Clinton was timid, but you were wrong in 2006 when you voted for the Iraq war. Yet, we should have listened in 2006 when you wanted Iraq split into the three ethnic areas as it is today. Our troops might be home, the Islamic State probably wouldn't exist and millions of refugees might be at home.
You were the man on justice for victims of domestic violence, against Bork and Thomas, assault weapons, hate and sex crimes, and privacy, but…

text: Everybody is full of advice when you ask "what do you think I should buy for the arrival of the baby?" Friends with children will all give you conflicting advice on which essentials are actually... essentials. Starting a budget Different people will look at you with horror when you mention that you are going to buy a forward facing group 1 car seat. Harry Enfield springs to mind "you don't wanna do it like that, what you want is…." On the web you can find lots of "baby essentials" lists, providing guidance on what's required. The trouble is, not many go as far as putting a rough budget figure next to each item. So, after numerous and quite tense "advisory" conversations, it was time to make a list and see roughly how the costs stacked up. The "essentials" list The "essentials" list was as follows, with a typical budget for each item: Cot £150 Car seat £150 High chair £90 Bath £15 Pram / buggy £200 Baby monitor £35 Bottles / steriliser £40 Changing mat £15 Essential clothes / cloths £115 Stock of nappies £45 Cosmetics / lotions £45 Bedding / mattress / sheets £100 Total £1,000 "What do you really need and how much does it cost?" Making savings Now of course there are ways to save the pennies on the above. Some items can be purchased second-hand, and cash-back sites can ease the pain a little, if buying online. Even considering help and presents from relatives, you are probably looking at an initial outlay of around £800. This list made me realise that the various articles on the web offering baby budgeting advice are quite right. Unless you have £800 saved, or kicking about under a mattress, the essential purchases alone can force a much-needed review of your finances. Now time for some bargain hunting… Written by Simon Lloyd Note: Whilst we take care to ensure Hub content is accurate at the time of publication, individual circumstances can differ so please don't rely on it when making financial decisions.

Daudi Kabaka
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Daudi Kabaka (1939-2000) was a singer born in Kenya.
The type of music he is known for is called Benga, a popular style in East Africa. His best-known songs include "African Twist", "Harambee Harambee" and "Western Shilo".
His song "Helule Helule" was covered by The Tremeloes and it became a hit in United Kingdom.[when?][citation needed]

"It's Time to Defeat Terrorism "
Since: May 11
#2 Mar 13, 2012
Reid and McConnel are the same old Senate leaders that during the recent decade pushed American national security to its lowest point in US history and to defeat of US troops to the al Qaida and Taliban terrorists after eleven years of futile war. Its time to cut and run from Afghanistan. Reid and McConnel go blind under the apologizer in chief Obama who keeps talking about lost war against about 99 Al Qaida terrorists by using more than 130,000 US and NATO troops. Yet, US troops under Obamas failed command lost more than 1700 precious lives by 99 Taliban and Al Qaida terrorists while the number of al Qaida terrorists did not change a bit. The Taliban proved to be the Jihadist suicide bombers in Afghanistan that Obama is fighting for their Miranda rights and give them the chance to shoot and kill our Us troops first before Us troops are allowed to shoot back if they survive the first Taliban terrorists attacks. More than 54% of the American people demand bringing back our US troops and stop sacrificing lives for nothing gained by the apologizer in chief Obama. More than 54% of the American people realized that Obama keeps negotiating a defeat deal with the brutal terrorists from Pakistan that kill our US troops with roadside bombs made by the Pakistani regime. More than 54% of the American people realized that the apologizer in chief is pushing America to its biggest defeat in Afghanistan to the Pakistani regime that sponsor about 750 Taliban terrorists. More than 54% of the American people realized that Obama will pull US troops from the Middle east to allow the Taliban and al Qaida terrorist restore their rule of Afghanistan with the restoring of Shariya laws that treat women and Christians as sub humans. More than 54% of the Americans claim that the war was over and demand to bring our US troops safe home today. It is time to impeach Obama as the worst apologizer in chief in US history who never stopped apologizing to his Mozlem brother terrorists.

A plaid blanket covers the soft grass. Three cheeses rest on a wooden board beside a bunch of red grapes. Dappled sunlight streams through a tree overhead.
Sounds like the recipe for a great picnic.
ôI love picnics,ö said Erin Bause of Bause Catered Events in Pottstown. ôI just love being outside. Itĺs fresh food. Itĺs simple food. I just really enjoy it.ö
Inspired? Grab a basket and blanket because June 18 is International Picnic Day.
ôWe grew up having picnics,ö Bause added. ôMom used to take us out for picnics on special days like the last day of school or birthdays. That was a fun day, something we always looked forward to.ö
She also fondly recalled picnicking in California, where she attended the School for American Chefs at Beringer Vineyards.
ôI will always remember sitting in Napa Valley up on the hill overlooking the vineyards,ö said Bause, who recently catered a corporate picnic for 325 people. ôThose are great memories for me.ö
Her suggestion for an easy picnic: ôreally great bread, great cheese, fresh berries or fruit.ö
ôOne of the things I like at a picnic is a French Potato Salad with a Chive Vinaigrette and Smoked Bacon. Itĺs served at room temperature,ö the chef explained.
ôI learned to make it a long time ago from Wally Callahan of Coventry Forge Inn.ö
Joanne Levengood of Manatawny Creek Winery seconds the salad suggestion.
ôI like simple salads. I like fruit salads, bean salads and salads that donĺt have mayonnaise,ö said the winemaker, who has picnic tables set up around the vineyard.
One of her favorite picnic-friendly finger foods: Wine Jelly Bars.
ôItĺs so stinking easy to make, and it tastes so good,ö she described. ôPeople think itĺs harder than it is.ö
So come June 18, try a new recipe or stick with tradition. Just head outside and enjoy.
ôWhat makes a perfect picnic? The weather, the location, the wine, the food and the friends,ö Levengood said.
French Potato Salad with a Chive Vinaigrette and Smoked Bacon
2 pounds new potatoes,
Ż pound smoked bacon,
ż cup chopped Vidalia
1 cup vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar
6 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
╝ cup chopped parsley
1 cup chopped celery
╝ cup minced chives
salt and fresh ground pepper
Bring the vinegar and sugar to a boil and reduce to Ż cup. Set aside. In a sautÚ pan, cook bacon until the fat renders and add in the onions. SautÚ until translucent. Drain fat from onions and set fat aside.
In a blender, puree the vinegar mix, Ż sautÚed onion/bacon mix, mustard. Slowly add the olive oil and bacon fat. Add a little of the potato water if itĺs too thick.
Season with salt and pepper. Bring 8 cups water to boil with 1 tablespoon salt. Add the potatoes and cook until soft. Drain from water, pour the dressing on top and mix well with bacon/onion mix, celery, parsley and chives. Season to taste with salt and fresh ground pepper. Serve room temperature same day.

Wine Jelly Bars
1 ż cups flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
Ż teaspoon baking soda
1Ż cups quick-cooking oats
ż cup butter
3 jars Wine Jelly (about 6 ounces each)
Mix all dry ingredients. Cut in butter either by hand or with a food processor. Mixture should be crumbly. Press mixture into 13x9-inch ungreased pan. Spread with jelly. Top with remaining crumbs. Bake at 400 for 25 minutes.
(courtesy of Manatawny Creek Winery)
First stop: farmersĺ market
A quick trip to the farmersĺ market can supply all the ingredients for a great picnic. Fruit, cheese and bread are staples, but there are plenty of other options too.
Liz Andersen, coordinator of the Phoenixville Farmersĺ Market, suggested FreshaPeel Hummus on a whole grain baguette from Saint Peterĺs Bakery. She also likes gourmet nut butter and honey sandwiches featuring Naughty Nutty Loveĺs almond butter.
ôYou know that all the products youĺre getting are fresh, and youĺre supporting local farms and businesses,ö said Rachael Morrison, executive director of the Collegeville Economic Development Corporation, which organizes the Collegeville Farmersĺ Market. For something sweet, she recommended All Hands in the Cookie Jar or ICED by Betsy Ś ôthe best cupcakes ever.ö
ôYou could make some iced tea with Health & Teaĺs black, green and white teas,ö Morrison described.
And why not include your four-legged friend in the picnic? ôBring your doggie,ö Morrison said. ôYou can get something from Joe Paws Dog Bakery.ö
Picnic and a movie Sunday in Collegeville
The Collegeville Economic Development Corporation invites people to pack a picnic and enjoy a free movie in Collegeville Park on Sunday, June 16. ôA Bugĺs Lifeö begins at 7:30 p.m. The rain date is June 23.

Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Washington, DC
Pulmonary amyloidosis is found in both systemic and localized forms. A diffuse interstitial pattern is typically found in systemic disease. The characteristic radiologic patterns in interstitial amyloidosis include diffuse micronodular or reticulonodular. We present a case of amyloidosis which is unique in that the CT has a predominantly cystic pattern and the presence of interstitial lung disease is the only manifestation of amyloidosis.
A 47 yo male with no significant past medical history presented to his primary physician in 1999 complaining of increasing shortness of breath. He was diagnosed with reactive airways disease and was placed on inhaled steroids and beta-agonists without improvement. He was referred to a pulmonary physician in 2000, where he underwent PFT's and a CT scan. PFT's showed a restrictive pattern with significant air trapping. The CT scan showed diffuse interstitial disease with diffuse cysts. He was sent for open lung biopsy in October 2000, which revealed parenchymal nodules with amorphous eosinophilic extracellular material consistent with amyloid. An extensive search for systemic disease was negative. The patient reported to WRAMC in January 2003. He complained of increasing shortness of breath. PFT's at that time showed an 800cc decrement in his FVC. At Walter Reed, the patient has undergone a second full evaluation searching for systemic amyloidosis. Again, he has no evidence of systemic disease. He is currently awaiting bone marrow biopsy.DISCUSSION: Pulmonary amyloidosis can occur in two distinct settings. Most commonly, it is seen as manifestation of a systemic disorder. A distinct entity of localized pulmonary amyloidosis has also been described. In this subset of patients, the pulmonary manifestations include tracheobronchial amyloidosis or nodular amyloid lesions. In general, the prognosis is excellent for these disorders. A diffuse interstitial pattern is decidedly rare without systemic disease. In the most recent series, Utz et al. evaluated all of the patients with pulmonary amyloidosis at Mayo Clinic from 1980 to 19931. Fifty-five patients were found to have pulmonary amyloidosis. In thirty-eight of these, the pulmonary symptoms were a manifestation of systemic disease. Of the seventeen patients with localized pulmonary disease, no patient had a diffuse interstitial pattern (4 tracheobronchial, 7 nodular, 6 senile). Hui et al published a retrospective study of 48 patients with amyloidosis localized to the lower respiratory tract2. They found 6 patients who had a diffuse interstitial pattern of involvement. However, in this series, there was a paucity of clinical information and the investigators were sure of the localized nature of the amyloidosis in only 6/48 patients. Therefore, the 6 cases of diffuse interstitial disease may not have had amyloidosis localized the the pulmonary tract.The reported cases with diffuse interstitial changes amyloidosis have rarely shown a predominance of cysts. Our patient presented with cystic lung disease with obstruction and air trapping. Review of the literature only show 2 cases that report a predominance of cysts, and only 1 of these was patient with localized pulmonary disease 3,4.
This case illustrates three important points to practicing pulmonologists. First, it argues for the need to take atypical cases of interstitial lung disease to lung biopsy. Secondly, it demonstrates that localized pulmonary amyloidosis can present as diffuse ILD and changes on HRCT may be predominantly cystic.

Singapore, October 6 - Senior Minister of the Republic of Singapore Mr Lee Kuan Yew visited London's thriving and modern Canary Riverside this evening to officiate at the opening of the Four Seasons Hotel located along the banks of the River Thames. Some 300 guests attended the Opening Party held in the Ballroom of the 142-bedroom Hotel - the first five-star Hotel to arrive in the dynamic Canary Wharf district.
The Hotel's Opening Party also showcased Canary Riverside, the mixed waterfront residential and leisure development of which the Hotel is the centrepiece. Canary Riverside embraces four apartment blocks with a total of 322 stylish homes, eight restaurants and the exclusive Holmes Place Health Club and Spa. The apartments are currently about 75 per cent sold.
The Hotel opened for business on December 16, 1999, just before the new Millennium, and is proving a popular magnet for international business travellers and leisure visitors alike.
Pidemco Land President Mr Liew Mun Leong commented after the ceremony, "The Four Seasons Hotel Canary Wharf at Canary Riverside has established an excellent reputation for its facilities and service since its soft opening. We believe the hotel and the rest of Canary Riverside will become an exciting hub within Canary Wharf."
The party extended out of the Hotel towards the Spa's 20-metre infinity-edged swimming pool, emphasising the hotel's stunning riverside location. Musicians performed around the estate and a spectacular laser show announced the official opening of the hotel by Senior Minister Mr Lee Kuan Yew.
Canary Riverside is the first of three investments by Pidemco Land in London. Pidemco also owns 131 Finsbury Pavement, a prime nine-storey office building in the heart of London. It recently entered into a joint venture to redevelop a prime office site in Moorgate.
Canary Riverside is jointly owned by Singapore companies Pidemco Land Limited and Hotel Properties Limited and London-based Canary Wharf Limited. The Hotel is managed by leading hotel group Four Seasons Hotels Inc.

The two leaders discussed a range of issues including the party's internal affairs and the split in the NDA after BJP's old-time ally JD(U) parted ways after an alliance of 17 years.
On Janata Dal (United) Modi was plain and firm. Modi has told Advani that BJP doesn't need allies which are against it.
On his part, Advani told Modi that he didn't resign from party posts because of Modi's elevation as campaign committee head at the recent Goa conclave. Advani had resigned from key party posts after the Goa meet.
Advani, however, later withdrew his resignation following a telephonic talk with RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat and persuasion by BJP leaders.
Bhagwat is also expected to meet Advani and is likely to advise him to clarify the allegations he made in the letter.
Modi drove down to Advani's Prithviraj Road residence in Delhi and spent about an hour with the senior leader. He left without speaking to the waiting media contingent.
The Gujarat chief minister also spent more than an hour with ailing former prime minister Atal Behari Vajpayee at his residence.
Modi also met senior BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi to express his gratitude. "Modiji has come to Delhi to express his gratitude over his recent appointment as Chairman of the BJP Campaign Committee at Goa. He has expressed his gratitude and said he is trying to fulfil the responsibility given to him," Joshi later told reporters.
Modi is visiting national capital for the first time after being made head of BJP's election campaign committee.

Scott was officially charged Tuesday and, detailed in the complaint, he was charged with allegedly putting a dry-cleaning bag over the head of his 2-year-old son.
Scott was charged with third-degree felony assault, felony domestic assault by strangulation and misdemeanor endangerment of a child. According to the report, the boy's mother heard her son's muffled screams and, upon entering the room where he was, found the boy laying on his back with Scott holding the dry cleaning bag tightly around the boy's neck.
The child's mother said that there had been previous injuries to the boy while under Scott's supervision and a doctor that examined the boy said there were marks on the boys arm and ear that, in the doctor's medical opinion, were intentional. In addition, the doctor believes that the injuries were consistent with either being struck or being burned.
Scott claimed that the two were playing with the bag and he wanted to see if the boy could remove the bag from around his head by himself.
In the search of the home that followed his arrest, police found a .50-caliber handgun in an unlocked nightstand that, according to the criminal complaint, was easily accessible to the child.
In a statement last week, Scott's agent, Tim DiPiero, said that the incident was a mistake and that Scott was looking forward to proving his innocence.
"Anyone who knows Darrion knows him to be a big 'teddy bear' type of guy – easygoing and never loud or abrasive," DiPiero said in the statement. "We believe this nightmare is a terrible mistake and that the child has not been abused, at least not by Darrion."
Scott's first court appearance to answer to the charges is scheduled for today.

Great job in the run! I am not a runner for sure I'm more of a weight lifter. You've been really busy your stitching and crochet all looks beautiful!
Congrats on finishing the race Thoeria. Your working on some great projects. Love your new furbabies.
Congrats on another running feat!! :) I also finished one easily; your marathon post, not the running ;) I am always a bit jealous though because I am not sincere about even my morning walks. But then I saw your stitching 'be who you are ' so my heart got an excuse to overcome the jealous :D
Your stitching and crocheting is also progressing well too:) I think the gray one is pebbles and the other one is peanut.
Congrats on the running!
Lovely choice of designs for your stitching too.
I am so proud of you!! :D
Your son's blanket is looking great!
Aww, your bunnies are adorable.
well done on completing the race! Great work, you deserve your medal.
And well done on starting another marathon - the Dark Alphabet! I have labelled all the posts on my blog so I suggest reading them as you go if you want any hints and tips! And do read Becky's posts too, they are fascinating.
Congratulations! How fantastic, you should be so proud of yourself.
Your stitching is beautiful - what a variety of gorgeous designs!
And sweet bunnies! I just love rabbits. Sadly hubby is allergic to furry creatures. Yours are so cute!
Pretty stitching and crochet blanket. Congrats on your race, clever girl.
Oh my gosh! Great milestone on your running....love the bunnies....and lovely stitching.
Congratulations on finishing your 21km run. Not sure I could manage even 21m!! But give me a rowing machine....
You've been working hard with your needles too. So glad that Jo and I have been a bad influence ;)
Keep up the good work and be proud of that medal! :)
Oh my, Thoeria, you have my full admiration for you running such a race. I already feel completely exhausted when I walk a couple of kilometers, lol. Great job that you were doing!
Lovely stitchy projects that you have on the go. I saw The Dark Alphabet on Jo's blog and it's absolutely great. And your L*K piece will be beautiful, too. Gorgeous colours in the blanket that you make for your son. You don't seem to run out of projects, do you? Lol.
Congratulations on completing your race. After your walk to the start you can hardly say you didn't do a warm-up before the race. :)
Lovely stitching starts.
Congrats on finishing the run - such a great accomplishment. Gorgeous new starts and such bright, vibrant colours on your son's blankie. Say hello to your new furbabies for me.
Kudos to you for finishing the marathon!
Your WIPs look good. I need to finish Promise Me also.
Oh my... your new furbabies are adorable. :)

Steven Taylor has a good chance of keeping his place tomorrow when we entertain Arsenal, and we will try to beat the Gunners for the first time in five years.
That last time we did that was in early November of 2010, when an Andy Carroll headed goal did it for us, and Chris Hughton was still the manager.
Steven Taylor in action last Saturday at Old Trafford
Steven Taylor has finally recovered from his Achilles injury that kept him out last season from January 1st, and as usual he is upbeat, as he spoke to the Shields Gazette today:
"It is a new era for us – mind, we have had a few of them!" "The new signings have been like a breath of fresh air."
"It is exciting times and Newcastle fans will have gone back home very happy last weekend." "We are only three league games in but I think you can see the improvement in the side."
"You compare it to last year, then 100% and we are getting more confident game by game."
"There is a new training regime and the lads will take the confidence from the Manchester performance into the next game against Arsenal."
"We all know in the Premier League there isn't one easy game." "But for us, we just have to keep doing what we did at Old Trafford and believe we can win it."
"It was a whole new game plan, going to Man United and taking the game to them," "If you go there and sit back, then you get battered."
"Players will hurt you but our boys stuck to the game plan and looked very good defensively" "Tim Krul, when he was called upon, made the saves we needed him too."
"We defended from the front and that is a massive help." "The gaffer will pick the side but you don't know until the last minute."
"The main thing is to train well and hope you get the nod." "You love to test yourself and you want to be on that stage, there is nothing better than that."
It feels like the start of a new era at the club with the impressive Steve McClaren and the new coaching staff coming in, and Mike Ashley spending big money for a change, in what seems one of our best transfer windows ever.
Steven could still find himself on the bench tomorrow if Daryl Janmaat is brought back in at right-back, and Chancel Mbemba moves back to partner Colo in central defense.
It will be interesting to see what back four Steve McClaren will put out tomorrow.
This is the side we think Steve will start tomorrow – with Thauvin and Sissoko starting.
Mbemba Taylor Coloccini (c) Haidara
Anita Colback
Sissoko Wijnaldum Thauvin
Subs: Darlow Janmaat Tiote Aarons de Jong Perez Cisse

The vast majority of ladder accidents are caused by two things: using the wrong ladder for the job and overreaching. We designed the Little Giant Dark Horse to help you avoid these common problems. The dark horse is the only fiberglass multi-use ladder on the market. Its wide-flared base provides much more lateral stability than straight-sided step or extension ladders, preventing many accidents caused by overreaching. And because it is constructed with super-lightweight, super-strong fiberglass composite, the dark horse is a versatile tool for any jobsite. You can use the Little Giant Dark Horse Model 22 in 33 unique configurations, including A-frame, extension, and 90-degree ladders. It literally replaces several sizes of stepladders and extension ladders, and unlike any other ladder, allows you to work safely on stairs.
- Fewer shoulder and back injuries due to transport, lighter than any other fiberglass articulating ladder
- Prevent falls due to over-reaching, wide-flared extension ladder improves side-tip stability
- Improvised solutions to uneven surfaces or special situations are often dangerous and unstable, the dark horse adapts to almost any situation, offering a safe, stable climbing solution
- Reduces fatigue and foot pain, improving speed and quality of work
- Replaces multiples sizes and types of stepladder and extension ladders

Open Invention Network in the Spotlight
Back in September, Mozilla made an announcement: This week Mozilla joined Open Invention Network as a licensee. At the time, I didn't pay much notice. Although I knew OIN, I wasn't particularly sanguine about its approach.
To be sure, the aims are noble enough, but its patent portfolio seemed so small compared to the vast array of software patents granted in the US that it was hard to see it offering much protection. But when I heard that the Document Foundation (the developer of LibreOffice) and KDE were also joining Open Invention Network, I obviously wondered why there was this sudden interest in a scheme that had been going for some years now.
The answer is not too hard to find. As the last paragraph in the quotation above indicates, one of those investing in OIN was Novell. This presumably means that it has pledged that its patents won't be used against any other OIN members. As we know, interesting things will be happening to at least some of those patents:

"He had a better winter workout than his spring. He'll have to earn that spot right up to the first game and then on to the second and third and so on."
Related quotes
"That was our first meeting, and I probably didn't do as well as I could during winter workouts, 6 a.m., running in the morning. I just kept fighting and kept working hard. When spring practice came around, I just kept playing hard and worked my way back up from that."
"I get enough workouts outside of the games. It's more than the games right here in spring training. You can't take for granted what happens during the day. Hopefully, you get enough games. The last two or three games I've come in just catching. There are other guys that need to get work in. I know what my role is."
"It's really a great workout, first of all, and the adrenaline rush is a lot of fun. It's like skydiving or it's like bungee jumping."
"We've been going at that tempo since we started winter workouts; we're kind of used to it even though we're on the field for 2 hours and 30 minutes (Monday). Everybody is doing something; nobody sits around. Coach is just trying to find out what everyone's talents are. Guys he sees that are good at something, they'll play."
"At our first team meeting, he handed out binders that detailed daily workouts from the fall to the end of the season. He emphasized that this team would not be a joke and that we'd better be here to wrestle, and if not, he would find someone else to. His organization and motivation has really helped us."

A defeat as painful in its potential consequences as it was passionless in its infliction – when Biarritz are at their most pragmatic, the cold-heartedness of their rugby sends a chill down the spine – leaves Bath playing Heineken Cup catch-up at a depressingly early stage in proceedings. The West Countrymen are not quite as far up the proverbial gum tree as they were after losing their first two European games last season: surely, not even they can find a way of messing it up against the struggling Italians of Aironi this weekend. But the pool is out of their control already and they will find it terribly difficult to restore a sense of order.
It should not be beyond the wit and wisdom of top-class players to engage their brains at important moments, even when what is meant to be a pressure-cooker contest is played with the lid off: Dimitri Yachvili, the wonderful Biarritz scrum-half, took all the right decisions yesterday, and also kicked quite beautifully in a difficult wind to steer the Basques to victory. Yet Bath were dire in the decision-making department. David Wilson's sin-binnable flap at the ball seven minutes from the end of time was spellbindingly bone-headed. So too was the collective failure of the midfield to do what Basil Fawlty would call the "bleeding obvious" and drop a goal at the last knockings.
Steve Meehan, the head coach, was profoundly unamused by these failures of application. Of Wilson – an international front-rower, for heaven's sake – he was openly critical. "Anyone who gets himself a yellow card frustrates the coaches and frustrates the team," he said after watching his tight-head prop stick out an errant hand as Yachvili attempted to release the ball from a cleanly won ruck seven minutes from the end of normal time. "We've already had too many cards this season. David apologised immediately, but it would be better to avoid the action and forget the apology."
When discussing the Strange Case of the Missing Drop Goal, he was even more frank and forthright. "We have to grow up," he said, his brow still furrowed from the effort of trying to work out why neither Sam Vesty nor Olly Barkley took advantage of the most inviting of positions with their side a point to the bad and time fast running out.
"It was such a straightforward thing. Biarritz win games because they kick their points and tick the board over three at a time. There were two or three opportunities in that one phase of play to do the same and we didn't take them." His message? "Be ruthless. Just get it done."
Smashed to kingdom come at Northampton and humbled at home by Gloucester in two of their three most recent Premiership outings, Bath were hardly in the best of places to confront last season's beaten finalists: a side boasting a second player of 24-carat quality in the supremely athletic back-rower Imanol Harinordoquy, together with an eclectic mix of Zimbabwean-born Americans, Norwegian-born Englishmen, New Zealand-born Samoans and Australian-born Australians, all of whom understand, in their extremely different ways, the Biarritz way of doing business. Bath could bring nothing "different" to the party, apart from giving the highly-rated young prop Nathan Catt a first start at European level.
When Catt picked up the club's most improved player award at last season's black-tie dinner, his delight was tempered by the former Bath wing David Trick, who, on presenting the gong, said: "Of course, this suggests you were pretty crap at the start of the season."
Yesterday, the joking stopped. Up against a fully-fledged All Black in the shape of Campbell Johnstone, he was thoroughly tested at the set-piece. If he finished one scrum sitting on Johnstone – better than the alternative, you'll agree – he spent much of his 54-minute outing wondering if life would always be this difficult. But he had his share of bright moments around the field, and his presence helped Bath generate a decent tempo in the first half.
They reached the interval eight points up, thanks to an early penalty from Barkley (who, in truth, did not have the best of days with the boot) and a fine try from Michael Claassens six minutes in. The South African scrum-half's ruck delivery to Barkley was far from sympathetic, but the centre found Nick Abendanon with an inspired pass out of the tackle, and when Matt Carraro was tackled just short of the line, Claassens was the first man in support.
Yet well before the end of the period, Biarritz were looking threatening, albeit in their own peculiarly stately fashion. And once they stopped coughing up hard-won possession in contact, they started to edge the penalty count. Twice in the third quarter, Bath obstructed the Basques at the line-out; twice, they paid the price to the tune of three points.
Barkley finally goaled a long-range shot on 70 minutes when David Flatman, on for Catt, won a decision against Sylvain Marconnet at a scrum, but Wilson's flash of indiscipline gave Yachvili another chance from the 40-metre range and the scrum-half, deadly from such a distance, judged the swirl of the wind perfectly.
"Dimitri is a bit special – a world-class No 9 – and he kept us going forward," remarked Iain Balshaw, once an esteemed member of a very decent Bath back division but now an honorary Basque. How did he feel on his return to old pastures? "It was bitter-sweet, but I'm Biarritz through and through nowadays." Whether his former club are through with this season's Heineken Cup, only time will tell. This much is certain, though: it does not look good.
