Gohan Returns (ボクは孫悟空の息子だ!! 悟飯、再び決戦場へ, Boku wa Son Gokuu no Musuko Da!! Gohan, Futatabi Kessenjou e) is the twenty-fifth episode of the Frieza Saga and the one hundredth overall episode in the uncut Dragon Ball Z series. The episode first aired on July 24, 1991. Its original American air date was October 25, 1999.
Frieza flies straight into Goku's Kamehameha and a struggle ensues. Overcome by rage, Frieza pushes against the Kamehameha wave as hard as he can, and Goku powers it up several times to keep Frieza at bay. On Earth, Mr. Popo makes the wish to revive Frieza's victims on Namek, and Shenron grants it, albeit with a bit of difficulty.
Finally, Frieza suddenly flies away from the Kamehameha and straight into a distracted Goku, burying him in a hole hundreds of feet underground, which then explodes with lava. From afar, Gohan feels Goku's energy signal vanish completely, as if Goku has died. Bulma implores Gohan to flee Namek with her if Goku has been defeated, but Gohan instead flies off to confront Frieza alone, confident that he may be able to beat the worn out tyrant, hoping to stall him long enough until Namek explodes.
Meanwhile, everyone killed by Frieza and his henchmen wakes up, with Dende, Vegeta and Grand Elder Guru among them, but not Krillin. With Guru's revival, Porunga returns, as he has not yet granted the third wish.
Gohan reaches Frieza as the tyrant prepares to leave Namek. In his confidence, Frieza goes back to his normal final form state and takes Gohan on, easily dominating the young Saiyan. Eventually, Frieza insults Goku and declares him dead, enraging Gohan. Realizing that Goku may very well be gone, Gohan attempts to flee, but Frieza intercepts him, having found out that Gohan was trying to delay him so that he would die in Namek's explosion. Then, Gohan begins to feel Goku's energy signal from below. With newfound confidence, Gohan attacks Frieza with multiple punches and launches an Ultimate Masenko at him, but it fails to damage Frieza. Impressed, Frieza powers up to 100% again and prepares to kill Gohan.
However, just then, Goku emerges from the sea: although he had been injured by Frieza's sneak attack, he hid his energy signal and stayed below long enough to recover his strength. Ordering Gohan to leave Namek, Goku prepares to face Frieza again.
- Goku (Super Saiyan) vs. Frieza (100% final form)
- Gohan vs. Frieza (50% final form)
Bruce Falconer tracks
- "Earth Music" - When Chi-Chi wants to go to Namek.
- "Goku's Spirit Bomb" - When Super Saiyan Goku fires a Kamehameha at Frieza.
- "Goku's Spirit Bomb" - When Super Saiyan goku emerges from underwater and tells Gohan to leave Namek.
- This episode marks the 100th episode of Dragon Ball Z.
- The wish that brings back everyone killed by Frieza and his henchmen does not include any of Frieza's henchmen themselves, such as Frieza's orange soldier and the fortunate soldier who was kicked into a lake by Zarbon. This wish also gives birth to Syn Shenron, a Shadow Dragon who appears in Dragon Ball GT.
- In the FUNimation dub dub of this episode, due to the dialogues of Gohan and Frieza, as well as the result of the fight directly prior, a number of viewers conclude that Goku has been killed by Frieza's sneak attack, and then revived by the Earth's Dragon Balls. This, however, would be impossible, as he was already revived by Shenron once before, about a year after choosing to die in order to defeat Raditz. In the original manga and DBZ Kai, Goku is merely knocked out for a short while.
- The scene where Gohan fights Frieza is filler.
- At one point in this episode, Goku takes on a power up form that resembles the Legendary Super Saiyan.

By Colleen Flaherty
Fort Hood Herald
Professional wrestler Mick Foley grew up wanting to be in the military.
The United States Military Academy at West Point and United States Naval Academy had other plans for the high school senior, however, as he writes in his new book, "Countdown to Lockdown: A Hardcore Journal."
"I grew up with a deep respect for the military," he said in a phone interview, adding that he once sported a crew cut, so different from his now trademark shag and beard.
Foley will appear at the Clear Creek Main Exchange Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m. for a book signing. His book is filled with other surprising interests and facts.
Tori Amos' music, donations to ChildFund International and constant self-deprecation, for example, aren't things one would automatically associate with a professional wrestler. Former WWE star Foley hits all three hard, however, in "Countdown to Lockdown."
"I think subconsciously that it was a way of making people feel a little less intimidated, especially as I got taller and bigger and hairier," said Foley of his surprising wit, on display in this, his fourth memoir.
He lives in New York with his wife and four children.
Foley writes all his books himself, without the help of a co-writer, he said. In "Countdown to Lockdown," he takes his readers through his decision to come out of retirement and to fight wrestling legend Sting at the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.
The six-week preparation process wassn't easy. Foley experienced back problems, relieved somewhat by a blind masseuse, and heavy doses of self-doubt. He makes several references in the book to Mickey Rourke's tragic character, Randy "The Ram" Robinson in the 2008 film "The Wrestler."
Foley believes Robinson's fictional path could have been his own, if not for key decisions at different forks in the road, he said.
"I loved that character," he said. "I would consider writing a prequel."
Foley touches on temptations such as steroids in several chapters of his book.
"Wrestling doesn't cause weaknesses," he said, "but it certainly can exploit weaknesses."
Through an at-once linear narrative and the constant, humorous digressions that have become his literary trademark, Foley eventually arrives at the fight with Sting. He narrates it in real-time, giving unique insight into the world of professional wrestling.
Even wrestling fans acquainted with the fight may enjoy reliving its outcome from Foley's perspective.
Many of those fans are active duty military, he said, adding that he was happy to visit Fort Hood.
"Service members really seem to like and appreciate what we do on a level that many people don't understand," he said.

Book signing
Professional wrestler Mick Foley will sign copies of "Countdown to Lockdown: A Hardcore Journal" from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday at the Clear Creek Main Exchange at Fort Hood.

Region's largest IT exhibition opens doors
Dubai: Techies in the Middle East will turn their attention to the new technologies and products to be showcased at the five-day Gitex Technology Week, one of the top three ICT (information, communication and technology) shows in the world, which begins on Sunday.
"Launched in the dynamic Middle East market more than three decades ago, the event has risen to be the pivotal platform where the latest developments in the ICT industry are unveiled to the world and the region. This year, the event witnesses an even wider global presence. Gitex Technology Week plays a key role in connecting leading global ICT companies to come together and further boost the strong market confidence to stimulate business investment," Helal Saeed Al Merri, chief executive officer, Dubai World Trade Centre, said.
Leading movers and shakers from the world's tech community are participating in the event.
"More than 80 per cent of leading ICT brands will be present at the show, with C-level executives in attendance representing ICT budgets of over $50 billion [Dh183.6 billion]," Trixee Loh, senior vice-president at Dubai's World Trade Centre, said. "With the co-location of ITU Telecom World 2012 and InfoComm MEA 2012, we can expect a much higher number of regional visitors to Gitex this year."
Organisers are expecting around 140,000 visitors from 144 countries to pass through the doors this week to hear corporate chieftains of multi-billion corporations discuss strategies regarding technologies that have changed the way we live. More than 3,500 companies from 54 countries will showcase their products at the 32nd IT expo.
New participants
New countries to take part this year are Algeria, Denmark and New Zealand.
Repeat attendance by exhibitors over the years has ensured that the largest technology fair in the Middle East and beyond continues to attract top players in the industry.
Visitors to Etisalat and du stands are expected to experience the roll-out of new technologies by the operators apart from a range of promotional offers.
Gitex will present the latest and most advanced cyber security measures and world renowned authorities will share insights, experiences plus live demonstrations on how to defend against cyber attacks in real time.
Organisers estimate that 1,000 launches will take place during the show. Among the most eye-catching is the official launch of a partnership between hip hop star — 50 Cent — and UAE-based company Shift LLC on Wednesday. The rapper is set to appear for the official launch of SMS Audio headphones.
Preview of Windows 8
Microsoft will preview its new operating system — Windows 8 — and several locally relevant applications.
According to IDC's study, the world created 1.8 zettabytes (1.8 trillion gigabytes) of digital information last year. Over the next decade, the amount of information managed by enterprise data centres will grow 50 times in size, and the number of files at data centres will grow 75 times.
According to a Cisco report, Middle East and Africa will have the highest regional mobile data traffic growth rate over the next five years. The report projected that mobile cloud traffic globally will account for 71 per cent or 7.6 exabytes per month by 2016 when compared to the 45 per cent or 269 petabytes per month in 2011.
Worldwide mobile data traffic would increase 18-fold over the next five years, reaching 10.8 exabytes per month or an annual run rate of 130 exabytes by 2016.
Africa and Middle East would have the highest regional mobile data traffic growth rate with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 104 per cent, or 36-fold growth. The expected sharp spike in mobile traffic is due, in part, to a projected surge in the number of devices connected to the internet, which will exceed the number of people on earth (2016 world population estimate of 7.3 billion according to the United Nations).

Sydney's boom-time auction clearance
The Sydney and Melbourne auction markets strengthened this weekend despite a surge in listings.
Both markets have recorded solid clearance rates this year, but the weekend loomed as the first real test of 2013.
Sydney's 513 listings for auction and Melbourne's 959 were double the numbers offered for sale the previous weekend and higher than the same weekend last year.
However, the two cities recorded strong clearance rates. Sydney's 76.3 per cent is the highest rate for years and reflects boom-time activity similar to the market in 2010. It follows a rate of 71.6 per cent the previous weekend and indicates growing market momentum.
For the same weekend last year the clearance rate in Sydney was 56.6 per cent, showing how far the market has come over the past year.
There are also signs of a more generalised upswing, with increased buying in the recently dormant prestige market. Eight properties were reported sold in Sydney with a value above $2 million, including one sale of $3 million and another of $5 million.
The inner west remains the auction hot spot, with the highest regional clearance rate of 83 per cent – and this from the highest number of listings.
The median price for houses reported sold in the inner west at the weekend was $983,750; for units it was $573,000.
The highest reported sale in Sydney was a six-bedroom house in Vaucluse that sold for $5.15 million. The lowest reported sale was a three-bedroom house in Carramar for $368,000.
Like Sydney, Melbourne recorded its strongest result since the house price boom of 2010 despite a high number of listings. And like Sydney the weekend's 71.6 per cent clearance rate was significantly higher than the rate recorded a year ago on the same weekend.
Signs are emerging in Melbourne that the buyer momentum in the prestige market through most of last year may be spreading to mid-range price sectors, particularly in the eastern suburbs.
It's no secret or surprise that the stronger housing markets in Sydney and Melbourne are being driven by historically low interest rates and rising confidence.
The heating up and the inevitable price rises that will follow will provide the Reserve Bank with a conundrum given signs of continued weakness in other sectors of the economy.

IBM plans for all cloud services and software to be based on open standards
Kane Scarlett 270002Y2HJ Visits (10582)
This means that IBM clients now have a core set of standards-based technologies to build enterprise-class cloud services that can be ported from IBM to a non-IBM cloud. These standards will help reduce cloud complexity, avoid vendor lock-in, and hopefully reduce the level of balkanization that often comes when you introduce a new, disruptive technology.
If you're not aware of it, OpenStack is an infrastructure as a service (IaaS) cloud computing project that is free open source software released under the terms of the Apache License. The project is managed by the non-profit OpenStack Foundation. More than 150 companies have joined the project.

Lying in parliament
Winston Peters and Trevor Mallard would be screwed if a similar law came in here!
MARK COLVIN: The Queensland government is drafting bills to make lying to Parliament a criminal offence.
Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie says if they become law, they'll amend the Criminal Code to re-enact laws repealed under the Beattie government.
In 2006 the previous government repealed the section that made lying to Parliament a criminal offence. It happened during the scandal over allegations that the then Health Minister, Gordon Nuttall, had misled a Parliamentary Estimates Committee.
But University of Queensland Associate Professor of Law Graeme Orr says the change to the criminal code is not as significant as the LNP is making out.
As Nance Haxton reports.
NANCE HAXTON: Queensland's new Attorney-General, Jarrod Bleijie, says making lying to Parliament a criminal offence is an important legal reform for Queensland.
He says allowing the courts to deal with such conduct will guard against any suspicions of political interference or cronyism.
JARROD BLEIJIE: This is actually not just if they gave false information, this is if they knowingly provide it. So it's parliamentarians or members of the public going into these committees or Parliament saying something that they know is a lie. And we're saying that, you know one of our election totems, the Premier Campbell Newman was talking about was we want to restore accountability in government.
And this is the first sign that we're certainly restoring this accountability and we'll make it again once more illegal to lie to Parliament or parliament committee.

Baked Stuffed Squid
These tender squid tubes are stuffed with a mixture of soft breadcrumbs, pancetta and chopped bay scallops, then baked in a light marinara sauce. Easy to make and delicious served with linguine and oven-roasted zucchini.
Baked Stuffed Squid
- Ingredients:
- 1 lb squid tubes (12 to 16 pieces), cleaned
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup pancetta, chopped
- 1/4 cup onion, chopped
- 2 to 3 cloves garlic, very finely chopped
- 1/4 lb bay scallops, chopped (see notes)
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1-1/4 cups soft breadcrumbs (see notes)
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 cups Marinara Sauce (see recipe below)
Preheat the oven to 375 °F.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and sauté until beginning to brown. Add the onion and continue cooking, 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until the onion is soft and translucent and the garlic is fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
Place the scallops, parsley, breadcrumbs, egg, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a mixing bowl. Add the pancetta mixture and combine gently.
Loosely stuff the mixture into the squid tubes to about 3/8-inch from the opening and fasten closed with a toothpick. Do not pack or overstuff.
Coat a shallow casserole large enough to hold the squid tubes side by side with nonstick spray. Spoon a thin layer of marinara into the bottom of the prepared dish. Arrange the squid in a single layer and spoon 1 to 1-1/2 cups of marinara on top. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Makes 4 servings
To serve with pasta:
Cook 10 ounces of linguine or spaghetti according to the package directions and drain.
The squid will give off some liquid while they bake, adding fabulous flavor to the sauce in the casserole. Add this to the remainder of your marinara and toss with the cooked pasta. Plate individual servings and top with squid.
Marinara Sauce
- Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 8 cloves garlic, very finely chopped
- 1/2 cup onion, very finely chopped
- 1 28-oz can San Marzano tomatoes, undrained
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons chiffonade of fresh basil
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and lightly golden - do not brown. Add the tomatoes and their liquid and using a wooden spoon, break the tomatoes into small pieces. Bring the mixture to a simmer, season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper and add the crushed red pepper. Simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, just until the sauce has thickened slightly. Remove from the heat and add the basil.
Makes about 3 cups

I just watched Rod Blagojevich jog to the podium with his improbable hair caressing his eyebrows and do a full Bill Clinton. I read on a blog somewhere that a political associate of the governor's called him Bill Clinton with morals. As the governor jogged off into the sunset he left his versions of Clintonistas to handle the details.
Even the CNN anchor remarked that by not resigning but pugnaciously challenging the overwhelming evidence of his unfitness for office that he was mirroring Bill's modus operandi after the blue dress put an end to his red faced rants of innocence. Well, for a while anyway. We got to see vintage big Bill again this summer as he saw his uxorial partner in political brazenness lose to a rookie.
Blago obviously has learned, as a generation of politicians have learned, that you can get away with it. That is the great lesson of the Clinton years. Proven by the fact that the Clinton years persist. In any other cycle of American history lying under oath while president, being disbarred for perjury, wagging fingers at the American people and ranting falsehoods would, if found out, cause the red faced wagger to resign his office of public trust and disappear in shame from the current scene. To do penance in obscurity, forgotten for transgressions against the faith of a nation.
But, not Bill. He invented a new paradigm for being caught and caught badly. It consisted of a series of steps, none informed by morality or sense of shame. Deny. Deny again. Continue to deny unless your denial is directly contradicted by actual videotape or DNA. Blame your transgressions and any negative reactions to your transgressions on politics. Invent phraseology, easily repeated by a sycophantic press, to murk up what you did and make a personal failing a general malaise: the politics of personal destruction. I didn't do anything wrong, or that wrong, or too wrong ... it's my opponents that are using elephant guns to punish gnat like transgressions. These unjust accusations, though true, are taking me away from my important responsibilities (here you must list wedge issues to confuse the public: civil rights, women's rights, abortion rights, the environment). Call in ethinc ministers to pray with you to counter the unjust attacks of your aggrandizing political enemies.
And, the best, most cynical and destructive step, used by Bill to great effect: I didn't do anything that every other president didn't do, at least in sexual terms. Trash the White House, trash dead presidents and their families, rewrite history to make you look less singular in your self-indulgences. Do whatever it takes and whatever the press will print to retain power.
Meet with your Cabinet. Lie to them. Send them out to the waiting cameras to lie for you. And, depend that in the new world you created, populated by Cabinet members who share your slippery view of responsibility, ethics, and public service, that none of them are honorable enough to resign when your manipulation and fictions are revealed to them.
Hey, this is starting to sound like Illinois.
Bill begat Hillary, whose penance for lying about being under fire got her a nomination to be Secretary of State. He begat the Mayor of Detroit, who hung in there, playing racial cards and bluster, until tapes caught up with him too. He begat Illinois Gov. George Ryan, who took his teachings to a new level with a wholesale commutation of murderers to curry favor with the deep thinkers and academia as his tawdry money grubbing was revealed.
He begat Representative Jefferson of Louisiana, whose $400K in bribe money, hidden in a freezer, and rescued from Hurricane Katrina while actual citizens waited to be saved, mounted a sturdy shameless defense that led to reelection to the House. Finally, and recently, a population-depleted electorate threw him out of office but not in jail.
He begat Rod the "I will fight"-er.
A check list: shame/none ... denial/constant ... preposterous declarations of non-involvement/at every given opportunity ... a willing co-conspirator spouse/there and also on tape ... delusional/he bests Bill on this one ... belief that the ends (his political survival) justify any means/he learned from the master.
This won't stop until Bill finally pays the piper. He's slid by so far, and continues to abuse his position and public trust and former office. But, to a large extent beyond wealth he is the poorest man in America. He has no honor, for honor has no price. Once gone it is gone. He will forever be the butt of late night jokes and leers.
Blago won't get away with it. The press and public, never really admitting that they were hornswoggled by a talented grifter, won't play the game again on a national stage. But, in trying, he will harm this state, and this country, and our ideals and hopes. He will continue to sully what should be the joyous weeks of Barack Obama's run up to be President to save his own skin.
Come to think about it, Bill begat George W. Bush, too. Without the one, there would never have been the other.

When i checked the temperatures, it said my core Temperature was 53C and had a little flame symbol next to it. My CPU was staying at a steady 25C. Im guessing my core temperature is the temperature of the videocard? Here are the readouts from speedfan after i installed my second videocard: Here are the readouts. System: 23C CPU: 25C AUX:34C HD0:17C Temp1:25C Core:27C Core:46C <-- 8600GT Ambient:0C I used rivatuner to reduce the OC on both my videocards to minimum, and also increased fan speed to 100%. Now, while watching Orthos, the only thing that rises in temperature is the AUX which goes up to 54C. everything else stays relatively steady in temperature. it wont be final till tomorrow, but does that sound about right while its going?

On December 6, analyst firm Gartner Inc., announced that Microsoft Intelligent Application Gateway (IAG) 2007 is positioned in the Visionaries quadrant of their 2007 SSL VPN Magic Quadrant report. Not only was IAG described as an "excellent new product", but Gartner also noted that our acquisition of Whale Communications "filled a serious gap in Microsoft's secure application access strategy by adding a robust gateway and strong endpoint security."
Gartner noted that we have too many divergent remote access solutions, but part of our strong score was due to our ability to demonstrate that we have a comprehensive vision for how these technologies and solutions align in the future. And what a future it is.

Czech Village roundhouse still in limbo
City wants building pieces moved
CEDAR RAPIDS – Efforts to reconstruct the Riverside Roundhouse have run into a snag.
The building, used for decades as a Cedar Rapids farmers market, was dismantled by volunteers after the Floods of 2008 so the land could be used for the relocated National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library.
Alex Andersen, who is leading efforts to save the roundhouse, said the goal was to rebuild the structure on property next to Czech Village where homes were demolished after the flood. Parts of the building were moved nearby, on a site now owned by the city.
Czech Village merchants would like to use the building for festivals and other events.
Land that was promised by the city, however, hasn't materialized, said Andersen, owner of Ernie's Avenue Tavern, 69 16th Ave. SW.
"I wouldn't have taken it down if they hadn't promised us the property," he said, noting that city officials told him to move the pieces off of the city-owned land by the end of the year.
Joe O'Hern, the city's executive administrator for development services, said the volunteers won't be forced to have the parts off the property by Dec. 31, but they should at least have a plan by spring.
O'Hern said he was not working for the city when the land was promised and isn't aware of any agreement.
The funds used to purchase the property have restrictions about rebuilding in the 100-year flood plain, he noted.
O'Hern said the land next to Czech Village will likely become green space.
The city is moving to designate some areas that were flooded, such as the Kingston and Ellis areas of southwest and northwest Cedar Rapids, as viable commercial corridors where redevelopment can take place, but O'Hern said those can't be designated "wherever we want.""We're not trying to rush this," he said of the order to move the roundhouse pieces. "We just can't let it sit there indefinitely."

I've been thinking about going for a Mac Mini as my next computer which is predominantly used for working from and to manage iTunes and that's about it (I don't game nor watch movies on the computer; that's all taken care of by my ATV 2)
Having researched more though the MacBook Pro is looking more favourable as its all in one whereas the Mac Mini still needs the monitor, mouse & keypad etc...
Having sold my iMAC 21.5" a few weeks back I'm temporarily using an Acer laptop running Windows 7 and it's killing me (slow and painful in comparison to the iMAC) but it was a necessity as the iMAC was too big!
For those who have used both; with the 13" Macbook Pro be fine to work from every day (i.e. the screen isn't too small etc...) or would the extra £££ for the 15" be a better investment?
I'd be looking to add a stand to bring it to eye-height plus the magic mouse and wireless keyboard (fat fingers syndrome)!

Okay so my septum is crooked, and I believe the bone is too but from what Ive heard those are two completely seperate procedures, but maybe Im wrong. On top of that, I also want some aesthetic work done to my nose, as it is rather larger and round...So would the breaking of the bone be included with that procedure or would they need to be done at seperate times, and how much would that all cost (estimate) combined? I guess Im just confused as to what all would need to be done with my situation.
Prices of multiple reconstruction procedures? I think I might need more than one done. But I dont know for sure. (photo)
Doctor Answers 4
Multiple Reconstructive Procedures of Nose
Let me simplify my response. In the past 35 years I have never done two separate procedures to straighten a deviated septum, correct asymmetry of other nasal structures, and make cosmetic changes.
Prices of multiple reconstruction procedures? I think I might need more than one done. But I dont know for sure.
All of these things you mention can be undertaken at the same time with one surgery.
Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of rhinoplasties and rhinoplasty revisions each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.

Septorhinoplasty To Treat All Nasal Problems
What you need is a septorhinoplasty, a combined nose procedure that improves breathing on the inside and changes its shape on the outside. This is a common nasal procedure that is all done during the same outpatient operation.

Cosmetic versus Reconstruction Rhinoplasty
A septoplasty is done to correct a crooked septum which is blocking airflow in the nose. If the external nose is also markedly crooked and must be straightened in order to improve the airway, then the procedure is known as a septorhinoplasty. The septorhinoplasty straightens the crooked bone and bony part of the septum. A cosmetic rhinoplasty is done to improve the external appearance of the nose and almost always includes cutting the bones and reducing the bony part as well as the cartilaginous part of the nose. If you wish the nose corrected cosmetically and have a crooked septum that is causing no symptoms, then the septum is simply ignored. If you're having breathing problems as well as a cosmetic deformity in the 2 procedures are simply combined. If you have insurance that will pay for the internal reconstruction it is billed separately than the cosmetic portion, for which you are responsible.

Galt Mile Wine and Food Festival: Cool Evening Filled With Good Wine, Food
Wine and food enthusiasts broke out the Pashminas and sweaters this past Saturday and braved the chill to flock to the first Galt Mile Wine and Food Festival.
The event, which closed several blocks of Galt Mile, was filled with plenty of good food and drink, as area restaurants like Sunfish Grill, Tokyo Blue, and Da Campo Osteria paired food with wines.
As the sun set, a band played and the wine kept pouring -- many people switching to red to warm up as the ocean breezes blew cooler. All in all, it was a great first-time event that was well-attended.
Seafood martinis from Sunfish Grill were fresh and perfectly paired with crisp white wines.
Chill Wine Lounge introduced themselves to the neighborhood.
The Hungry Cuban, chef Juan Montalvo, worked the crowd.
Not into wine? Tito's handcrafted vodka was generously poured.
Cycle Party provided fun seating (but, alas, no rides).
Wicked wines were poured by the most darling witches this side of Oz.

Tips for Maternity WearBeing pregnant is one of the most beautiful phases in a woman's life. The mere feeling of carrying a living and breathing being inside for about 9 months has to be experienced to be understood. However notwithstanding this beauty, being pregnant also means being able to cope up with massive changes in your physique.
And part of coping up with these changes is shopping for appropriate clothes that would not just fit you but also be comfortable and stylish to an extent. This special style of clothing has come to be known as maternity wear. Buying maternity wear can be a confusing and some times frustrating affair, due to a variety of reasons. That's why this write up seeks to help you out in selecting the right maternity wear at right times.
The first three months or the first trimester
• Most women would pass at least first three months without feeling the need to buy new clothes.
• You might need to make some minor adjustments like using 'belly bands' that fit over your trousers or jeans and hold them on, so that you can wear them unbuttoned.
• Put off buying any significant maternity wear until the middle of second trimester, as different woman gain bulk in different parts, like thighs, posterior etc.
Rest of the pregnancy
By the fourth month of the pregnancy you begin to have a fair idea of how you are going to gain weight. Also by this time you begin to feel the need to buy maternity wear as changes in your body are rapid now. >Keep in mind the following when you start buying maternity wear:
New or used maternity wear?
• Maternity wear can be quite expensive and could be potentially of no use after the pregnancy, esp. if you are sure that this is your last pregnancy. • So in case your budget is on the tighter side as is the case with many of us, go for used maternity wear.
• You can get some good deals at consignment stores or thrift stores on once or twice worn good quality maternity wear.
How should my maternity wardrobe look like?
• Maternity clothes can be shopped in pre pregnancy sizes (check the size charts before). They are generally available in cotton or other stretchable fabrics so they give you the room to expand but only when needed.
• Transitional clothes like empire waist dresses or tops, baby doll tops etc are great during the initial stages. They are called so because you can wear them after the pregnancy as well.
• While a little bit of Lycra or spandex is unavoidable in the maternity wear because of its stretch capacity, in general opt for more natural fibers like cotton. That's because synthetic can make you feel even itchier than you already do because of the hormone changes.
• Just because you are pregnant doesn't mean that you can't look sexy. If you want to flaunt your newfound super cleavage, that's perfectly alright. Low cut tops and short dresses to flaunt you legs are great as long as you feel comfortable wearing them.

DVD criminal fails to pay back £110k owed
An accountant who ran a counterfeit goods racket worth hundreds of thousands of pounds from his house in Wolverhampton has failed to pay back a penny of the £110,200 he was ordered to by a court, it emerged today.
Zimbabwe-born Webster Kutsawa launched a firm dealing with 6,500 fake DVDs a month from China.
He also sold bogus Slendertone slimming aids.
The 42-year-old, who has a Masters degree in Business Administration, sold the counterfeit goods as genuine items via the internet.
He was jailed for 20 months in October last year and was last month ordered to pay back £90,000, as well as £22,200 costs within 21 days or face an extra 22 months in prison.
Peter Calvert, head of Wolverhampton City Council's Trading Standards department, said today that the money had not been paid back. He said Kutsawa would face a breach of that order at Birmingham Magistrates Court on Thursday.
The father-of-three, whose family home was in Staines, Middlesex, previously admitted 10 charges of possessing fake DVDs, three of selling them, six of importing them and two charges of possessing fake Slendertone equipment.
These were sold through a firm called Egudo, based in Glengarry Gardens, Finchfield. In September, he appeared at Wolverhampton Crown Court to face a Proceeds of Crime hearing .

text: Has anyone noticed that NOT ONE defensive back was taken by the Texans in the draft? Not only that, not a single UDFA defensive back has been signed.* Wade Phillips must be feeling real good about his secondary not to even merit a UDFA signing at this point. My guess is they a good feeling about the progress that Kareem Jackson is making at corner, and Quin at safety. They also must be excited about Brandon Harris and Roc Carmichael. But I'm also thinking it could be Phillips not worrying too much about the secondary play given the way he's assembling the front 7, which is downright scary, IMO. Thoughts? EDIT: Damn! I didn't notice the safeties signed. Doubt they make the roster though.

TAMPA — Lowry Park Zoo director Lex Salisbury should be fired, and his private dealings with the zoo should be investigated by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Mayor Pam Iorio said Friday.
The mayor called for those drastic steps in response to a city audit released Friday that concluded, among other things, that Salisbury took animals and materials that belonged to the zoo to his private ranch in Pasco County and Safari Wild, a for-profit exotic animal park he is planning in Polk County.
The full losses to the zoo at the hands of Salisbury aren't clear, but they reached about $202,800, according to the audit.
The report also says that Salisbury instilled fear in his employees if they spoke out about his actions.
"The activities disclosed in this report should be turned over to law enforcement for further investigation," the report recommends.
It concludes that Salisbury "seems unable to differentiate between his role as CEO of the zoo and the role he plays with his business and his ranch, and fails to acknowledge the improprieties even after the results of this audit."
Iorio said the FDLE should investigate, noting that an agency with a higher level of authority than the Tampa Police Department would be most appropriate.
Trena Reddick, spokeswoman for the Tampa office of the FDLE, said the agency would need a "clear indication that a criminal violation has occurred'' for them to launch an investigation.
"The documents are online, but a lot of other things go into an investigation,'' she said. "We need more information."
Iorio also said she thinks the zoo board should fire Salisbury when it meets in a special session next week.
"Clearly, he cannot continue running the zoo," she said. "I do feel confident once the board gets the audit they'll share that view."
Salisbury, who could not be reached for comment Friday, has said he never profited from his transactions with the zoo.
Since October, he has been on a paid leave of absence from the job that pays him $339,314 a year in salary and bonuses.
Salisbury is widely credited with transforming the zoo from a collection of sad animals in battered cages to a nationally recognized facility named the country's best zoo for kids by Child magazine in 2004. But some zoo board members now think it's time for Salisbury to go.
"He did such a wonderful job at turning the park around and doing these beautiful things. To see this happen, man, it's not easy," said Susan Valdes, a member of the Hillsborough County School Board and member of the zoo's executive committee. "It's just a shame."
City auditors briefed the executive committee on the 60-page audit findings Friday.
Valdes said she has lost confidence in Salisbury's ability to lead the zoo. "Our community deserves better," she said. "It shouldn't have ever come to this."
Zoo board member Charlie Miranda, who serves on the Tampa City Council, also said Salisbury is likely to lose his job.
"I'm not supportive at all of him staying on. The audit speaks for itself," he said. "There are too many allegations. I don't see how him or anyone else could survive that."
Executive committee member Robert Thomas said he was reserving judgment until he hears from Salisbury.
"I'm sort of keeping an open mind until I see what those responses are. I always feel that people that stand accused in our great country have a right to be heard and present their side of the issue," Thomas said. "I talked to (Salisbury) briefly this afternoon and shared with him that we needed to hear back from him. He's concerned, obviously. Who wouldn't be."
The city launched the investigation after news reports revealed Salisbury's private dealings with the zoo.
Those details emerged after 15 monkeys escaped from an island he built at Safari Wild, drawing media attention to the park. That led to reports that the zoo leased space at Safari Wild for its animals, and paid to build structures there.
The city owns the land that holds the zoo, and a lease and operating agreement specifies that the animals belong to the city. The city also contributes money to the zoo, with this year's earmark set at $450,000.
Salisbury is also under fire from other directions.
The Association of Zoos and Aquariums, a national accrediting agency, has temporarily suspended his membership in the organization as well as the zoo's accreditation.
According to the AZA, Salisbury intentionally "refused to abide by AZA's acquisition and disposition policy." He has also been fined $46,036 by the Southwest Florida Water Management District for excavating ponds and dredging without the proper permits on his Safari Wild property.
Former Gov. Bob Martinez, a member of the zoo board, said he had problems with Salisbury even before the audit was released.
"I'm sure this will compound it," he said.

IT started out as a scene straight from an Anthony Horowitz novel.
Children arriving at school discovered that one of their teachers, Nick Howarth, had disappeared and there was police tape around the computer suite.
But all was not as it seemed at High Lawn Primary School in Sharples.
Youngsters had to work quickly, carrying out a crime scene investigation, speaking to local bobbies, while trying to make sense of mysterious clues that were appearing throughout the day, and the footage of Mr Howarth's last movements.
Year six teacher Kerry Tustin said: "When the children arrived at school they were quite shocked.
"There was a crime scene and the ICT room was closed off.
"There were also magical footprints and a door, as well as a strange smell coming from the room."
And it did not take long for children to lead their own crime scene investigation, even creating their own experiments to understand Mr Howarth's kidnap.
This also included building secret hideout dens and enjoying marshmallows on a fire.
Footage from 2.45pm showed Mr Howarth telling the children he had to go, and then later that day another encouraging them to work hard and finally one saying he was safe.
Youngsters keen to document their findings as part of their investigations, wrote letters, articles and stories.
Their hard work paid off, because at 3.25pm, Mr Howarth walked through the doors to the delight of children.
Mrs Tustin said: "We organised the day to provide a stimulus for the children's imagination and it went across the curriculum with numeracy and science activities included too."
She added: "There was a real buzz around school and Mr Howarth was mobbed by the children when he walked in."
The young detectives now say they want to do it all again.
Year Six pupil Ethan Bryan said: "I was a bit puzzled when I arrived.
"Mrs Tustin told us that there was an emergency meeting and the whole school went straight into assembly.
"It was then that we found out that Mr Howarth had been abducted.
"The whole day was fantastic from start to end. We had lots of things to do throughout the day including investigating the crime scene, looking at evidence and talking to the police. I definitely want to do it again."
Elana Dawson in Year Three added: "When we all gathered in the hall it was a big shock. Mr Howarth was on a video — he had vanished and the real police were there too.
"No one had any idea that the teachers had set it all up for us.
"We investigated the scene and used our imaginations to find out where he had gone.
"We received letters telling us what we had to do to get him back to us.
"In the afternoon we made biscuits and shrinking potion. We had to feed the mini door with the biscuits.
"When we got to the ICT suite, a drink and some chocolate had appeared near the door — it was like magic.
"The door was too tiny and we had to help Mr Howarth get back through that door.
"He is a great teacher and we just wanted him back so he could have his cup of tea. Everyone was so happy when he returned."

Stephens City is an incorporated town in the southern part of Frederick County, Virginia, United States, with a population of 1,829 at the time of the 2010 Census.
Founded by Peter Stephens in the 1730s, the colonial town was chartered and named for Lewis Stephens in October 1758. It was originally settled by German Protestants from Heidelberg. Stephens City is the second-oldest municipality in the Shenandoah Valley after nearby Winchester, which is about to the north. "Crossroads", the first free black community in the Valley in the pre-Civil War years, was founded east of town in the 1850s. Crossroads remained until the beginning of the Civil War when the freed blacks either escaped or were recaptured. Stephens City was saved from intentional burning in 1864 by Union Major Joseph K. Stearns. The town has gone through several name changes in its history, starting as Stephensburg, then Newtown, and finally winding up as Stephens City, though it nearly became Pantops. Interstate 81 and U.S. Route 11 pass close to and through the town, respectively.
A large section of the center of the town, including buildings and homes, covering , is part of the Newtown-Stephensburg Historic District and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. Stephens City celebrated its 250th anniversary on October 12, 2008. The town is a part of the Winchester, Virginia-West Virginia Metropolitan Statistical Area, an offshoot of the Washington–Baltimore–Northern Virginia, DC–MD–VA–WV Combined Statistical Area. It is a member of the Winchester–Frederick County Metropolitan Planning Organization.

To keep on the topic of the init systems, we had Patrick Lauer, a Gentoo developer who I believe knows quite a lot on the topic, coming to propose some contributions with OpenRC, and propose that Gentoo and Debian work together on a nice init system, which potentially could help us to go our way, not being bound to components which we don't really control (my readings of this list makes me believe that both systemd and udev are both going the way RedHat/Fedora wants, without much consideration for what we want or our needs, like it or not). We should have had some enthusiastic replies and constructive comments on how we could make this happen, how we could improve OpenRC to fit our needs. Instead, I have read posts criticizing without knowing. If I was Patrick, I'd be pissed-off and I would go back to my Gentoo work, and forget any collaboration with Debian. I would have happily worked with Patrick on porting OpenRC to Debian, and have it to understand the LSB headers, etc. But if some want to fight this idea, I'm not motivated anymore either. I don't think that the main issue isn't the wording. I'm myself the author of bad wordings, because I'm not an English native. For example, instead of replying to Gergely "what point are you tryint to make", I should have write "it's unclear to me what technical issue you are referring to". My style was not willingly aggressive. This happens, and may happen again, especially when the topic is highly controversial, and participants are passionate. But that's not the problem. The issue is that there's no outcome, and that it's demotivating. If I read others that what we want to work on isn't a good idea, I will simply not work on that, and external contributors will run away. Cheers, Thomas

Sexual Health Roundup: Psychiatrist Apologizes for Study on Reparative Therapy, CDC Wants to Test Boomers for Hep-C
Sexual Health Round-up: A renowned psychiatrist who is paradoxically responsible for both the biggest advance in gay rights and one of the studies most often used to deny these rights apologizes to the gay community; CDC recommends that everyone ages 47 to 67 be tested for Hep-C; and a new study warns that young men who abuse Viagra (and its cousins) are less satisfied with their sex lives.
Psychiatrist Responsible for Often-Misrepresented Study of Reparative Therapy Apologizes to the Gay Community
The front page of Saturday's New York Times includes an in-depth interview with Dr. Robert L. Spitzer, a psychiatrist who is paradoxically responsible for both the biggest advance in gay rights and one of the studies most often used to deny these rights. In the interview the 80-year-old, who is now suffering from severe Parkinson's disease, says he feels he owes the gay community an apology.
Spitzer was a psychiatrist and professor at Columbia University in 1970 when a group of gay rights activists heckled a meeting he was attending arguing that homosexuality should not be treated as a mental illness. He says their arguments made sense to him and, "I began to think, well, if it is a mental disorder, then what makes it one?" He went on to compare it to other conditions that were also defined as disorders and, according to the article:
"saw immediately that the latter [alcohol dependence and depression] caused marked distress or impairment, while homosexuality often did not."
Appreciate our work?
Rewire is a non-profit independent media publication. Your tax-deductible contribution helps support our research, reporting, and analysis.
Spitzer was in a position to make change because he was serving as a member of the American Psychiatric Association committee that was charged with rewriting the diagnostics manual. He organized a symposium to discuss homosexuality and led the charge to get it removed from the list of mental disorders. In 1973, he was successful and the revised Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (which came out in 1980) did not classify homosexuality itself as a disorder. Instead it included "sexual orientation disturbance" which applied to individuals — gay or straight — who were distressed by their sexual orientation. This was celebrated as a major victory throughout the gay community because until then legitimate psychiatrists and therapists often sought to "cure" homosexuality through therapy.
Some of Spitzer's colleagues, however, felt this new classification was a mistake and continued to champion therapy to cure homosexuality which came to be known as "reparative" or "conversion" therapy." Spitzer describes himself as being drawn to controversy and, like the gay rights advocates decades before, some ex-gays (those who believe their sexual orientation was, in fact, changed through therapy) caught his ear and his interest in the nineties. He went on to conduct and publish a study about reparative therapy in which he interviewed 200 patients who had gone through it and asked them how they would classify their sexual orientation before and after.
The results, which were released at a meeting in 2001 before they were published without peer review in the Archives of Sexual Behavior, found that most participants felt their sexual orientation had changed with treatment. Those involved in the reparative therapy movement — a movement which is politically enmeshed with religious conservatives and others opposed to gay rights — hailed this as a major victory and seized on Spitzer's reputation and career history as proof that he wasn't biased. They used it this study to argue for everything from removing GSAs in schools to banning gay marriage and civil unions.
Many of Spitzer's colleagues, on the other hand, jumped on this study as bad science noting that it didn't test any particular method of conversion therapy (some of the participants weren't even in therapy but had simply done independent bible study) and that it relied on self-reported feelings. They argued that the participants may have been lying not just to Spitzer but to themselves.
This was the criticism that really got to Spitzer:
"As I read these commentaries, I knew this was a problem, a big problem, and one I couldn't answer. How do you know someone has really changed?"
But it took over a decade to admit this publicly. In his letter of apology, Spitzer acknowledges that his study had a fatal flaw: "the simple fact is that there was no way to determine if the subject's accounts of change were valid." He went on to say:
"I believe I owe the gay community an apology for my study making unproven claims of the efficacy of reparative therapy. I also apologize to any gay person who wasted time and energy undergoing some form of reparative therapy because they believed that I had proven that reparative therapy works with some "highly motivated" individuals."
Spitzer ended his New York Times interview by pointing out that he didn't know of any other psychiatrist who had admitted his mistake and apologized for it saying, "that's something isn't it?" People seem to be having very different reactions to what exactly it is though. The comment section after the online version of the article is full of people who accept his apology as better late than never and hail him as brave, as well as those who feel the damage is done and his apology is useless at this point.
Baby Boomers Should Get Tested for Hepatitis C
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is recommending that all Americans who were born between 1945 and 1965 be tested for Hepatitis C. This strain of Hepatitis is most often spread through sharing infected needles for drug use, needle sticks in health care workers, and from mother-to-child. Other possible means of transmission include snorted cocaine and shared personal care items like razor blades and tooth brushes. Though it can be spread through sexual activity the CDC describes the risk as low and explains:
The risk increases for those who have multiple sex partners, have a sexually transmitted disease, engage in rough sex, or are infected with HIV. More research is needed to better understand how and when Hepatitis C can be spread through sexual contact.
Hepatitis C infects the liver and causes a gradual deterioration of the organ leading to cirrhosis and liver cancer. It is the most common reason for liver transplants. And it is most common in baby boomers — 2 million of the 3.2 million cases occur in this age group. The CDC believes that most of these individuals were infected in their twenties before the virus was official discovered (which happened in 1989) and the blood supply was screened.
This new effort aims to have all individuals ages 47 to 67 take a one-time blood test. Until now the CDC had only recommended routine testing for people with known risk factors—such as HIV, drug use, or existing liver disease. But this often meant that individuals did not become aware of their infection until symptoms began to emerge. The CDC estimates that the new effort could test 800,000 individuals and save 120,000 lives because once detected Hepatitis C can be treated with anti-viral medications. Up to 75 percent of cases can, in fact, be cured and these odds may improve with the introduction of two new drugs to the market.
Hepatitis C is related to Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B but unlike the other two, there is no vaccine available to prevent infection with this strand.
Young Men who Abuse ED Drugs Are Less Satisfied with Their Sex Lives
I suppose it shouldn't come as a surprise to hear that college students are taking a prescription drug without a prescription — after all college is a time that many young people experiment with alcohol, marijuana, and other illegal substances — but it's also the peak of young men's sexual performance so I admit I was a little surprised to learn just how many of them have tried Viagra and other erectile dysfunction (ED) medications.
A new study published in the Journal of Sexual Health surveyed 1,200 college-age men from across the country and found that six percent of them had used ED as a recreational drug. The study asked the young men a variety of questions about their sex lives and compared their answers to those of their peers who had not tried these drugs. The results show that young men who have used ED drugs are more likely to be dissatisfied with and anxious about their sex lives. In fact the more ED drugs they took, the worse they felt.
The study found that the young men who used ED drugs had the same level of functioning as their peers who did not but were less confident about their ability to sustain an erection and less satisfied with their overall sex lives even if they enjoyed intercourse in the moment. Researchers could not determine whether this anxiety was what caused them to use the drugs or if the drugs caused the anxiety but one expert who was not involved in the study suggested that when men take these drugs they spend more time and energy during sex monitoring their erection. This "spectatoring," as he called it, can interfere with their pleasure not only because it requires attention but because it increases the activity of the sympathetic nervous system which is normally decreased by the body during sexual activity.
Moreover, the drugs can create an unrealistic expectation for the future and men can become convinced that they can't have an erection without the drugs. As one urologist (who was also not involved in the study) explained: "We understand how they work, and I don't think there's any lasting physical harm for a young man who doesn't need them, or for an older man who does. But it does sometimes create these psychological problems – and they stick around." Medical professionals also fear that recreational use of the drugs can mask underlying health issues such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or diabetes that are actually causing erectile issues.

I have said it before I will say it again: President Obama should switch out Biden, and I know who for; ELIZABETH WARREN. I know people will say this is against all political wisdom to switch Vice Presidents for the second term of a presidency, we love Joe, etc.; but Biden can go the State Department. Obama should switch for a couple of reasons; first, if he does not switch out Biden he may not inspire enough people to get involved in this election. I believe the republicans will not be able to resist the temptation of putting a Latino on the ticket, (or possibly a Latina) --just as they could not resist putting up a female in 2008—this will lead to instability of the Latino vote. Republicans have been quietly passing voter restriction laws to suppress the vote, organizations are feeling anxious about voter registration drives --the only way to fight back is with massive registration and high voter turn-out.
Democrats need a way to galvanize the base and encourage self–registration. The President needs to make up for his potential Latino loss by securing another demographic, I think the current "war on women" by Republicans is helping but it may not be enough, Warren just might be--she should be properly vetted of course.
Democrats need a way to galvanize the base and encourage self–registration. The President needs to make up for his potential Latino loss by securing another demographic, I think the current "war on women" by Republicans is helping but it may not be enough, Warren just might be--she should be properly vetted of course.
Another reason is Democrats need to present some sort of continuity and strong leadership post Obama. I don't think Biden would be a viable candidate; he couldn't do it on his own before I don't think he is going to do it in 2016. Many say, (and I heard a particular idiot on the Republican side throw out today) that Hillary Clinton should run in 2016, I believe that would be a mistake, and if the Republicans are for it – can't be such a great idea. Hillary would be polarizing, America is going through too many forward changes to reach for the past; this is wrong for Republicans as well as Democrats. I don't want to see the country go back to the eras of Reagan or Bush, while can I appreciate The Clintons, Hillary is history. Elizabeth Warren is the only person I see right now that can represent the future and is competent enough take the baton from Obama and win.
Elizabeth Warren is knowledgeable, she has courage and with four years as VP to prepare, she will be ready to become the first Female President. Elizabeth is tough enough to go after Scott Brown's seat, she allowed Obama to adopt a more populist argument, she has a great narrative and she speaks the language of the working class. I think Ms. Warren can beat anyone the Republicans put up in a debate, I am not sure if she knows foreign policy but damn it she can learn. Also, selecting Elizabeth Warren would be a clear indicator that Obama stands with the 99%.
I think if anyone can get away with a switch, Obama can and if he does not switch out his Vice President, it could be defeat. It might have been too cliché in 2008 to put a female on the ticket, but I think the time is right for such a move. This is another change moment, I may get ignored but I wouldn't mind seeing Obama/Warren2012

|A long climb on good rock for birdsboro, the top is definitely harder for shorter folk.

Trying to clip the anchor bolts from below right without making the move to grab the hold above them strikes me as requiring a rather long reach.
Making the moves to the good hold above the anchor bolts -- seemed to me about the same reach climbing from the right (with careful footwork) as from the left. Both seemed like just barely doable for me (just under 5ft7in w no more than normal arm-reach) -- I assume someone less tall uses different beta and better footwork.
Climbing to the hold above the anchor bolts by going around the Left side struck me as more sustained, smaller fingerholds, more interesting, and better fitting the position of the bolt just below, than climbing on the Right side.
At my height + reach, also seemed like a pretty thoughtful move just above the second bolt. I'm guessing that taller people find this climb overall less interesting.

|Fun route. We were told it's harder if you go left before the shuts. I tried going left and couldn't find the feet so I went right. Perhaps it's a 5.10a to the right and a 5.10b to the left?

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) Member Suzan al-Saad of the Oil and Energy Parliamentary Committee called the government to maintain the strategic oil pipeline which allows the country to avoid any crisis that may close the regional waterways.
Saad mentioned in statement received by IraqiNews.com on Tuesday "The government is so busy with security situation so that it neglected many important sectors such as industry and agriculture which could be replacements for oil revenues."
"The committee confirmed the importance of diversifying the exports of Iraq by depending on other incomes beside Oil whether through investment or activating private sector or even expanding new oil pipelines to neighbor countries," the statement added. \
