"We have just eaten the most delicious and melt in the mouth Rib eye steaks from The Well Hung Meat Company. The box content looked good too... Can't wait to tuck in over the next four weeks (the cat is happy too because she gets a pack of pet mince). Thanks to the chap at the Exeter Food Festival who helped towards us receiving an awesome seasonal cuts plus other bits box!"
Deborah Gidman-Roach
"I would urge anyone considering the Well Hung Meat Company to give it a try. The quality of the meat and produce is excellent and the service second to none. I was initially concerned that I would not be able to commit to such a regular delivery of meat, but their service is so flexible that you really can arrange for a delivery of what you want when you want it, rather than be fixed to a regular fortnightly delivery. This makes the whole option of having quality meat far more accessible and affordable for me."
Melanie Lewis
"Hi Guys,
We saw you at the Good Food Show last week
and ordered our first foodies favourite box to come in
a couple of weeks from now.
However you gave us a couple of Steaks to try whilst
we wait, tonight I cooked them.
They were some of the best I have ever eaten,
in fact, I can only think of a couple I have ever had
that were that good. Anyway thrilled we joined the herd
and looking forward to our first proper box. "
Simon Hart
"All meat is the best quality I have tasted.
Tonight just made spag bol with mince, best ever!!!!
Chicken has the best flavour I have ever had and loads
of meat, enough for four plus leftovers for sarnies.
Will definitely recommend you."
Carolyne Grainger
"We are very pleased with the quality of your products and will be back for more"
Joy Bull
"We had the steaks last night and they were delicious"
Sarah Bond
The meat, tastes simply sublime, it is well packaged and arrives in absolute prime condition.
Simon O'Leary
I am a new customer and I am loving your products. The Gammon was delicious quite unlike the salt laden slices you get in the supermarket. Your beef is superb, deep red just as a well hung piece of meat should be.
Trudy Bramall
With the Well Hung Meat Company I am given choice in what I order and no constraining commitment to order so I get what I want when I want it.
Ian Keasey
"I made the last order of diced mutton into a curry which was really fantastic, the stronger flavour and lower fat content (than lamb) suited the recipe very well. I will be ordering plenty more mutton in future. I also regularly enjoy your chicken breast fillets, the juicy flavoursome meat is great simply pan fried without any additional fat and hardly needs seasoning."
Megan Leedham
"With the Well Hung Meat Company I am given choice in what I order and no constraining commitment to order so I get what I want when I want it.The support given by the staff is great and makes ordering so easy. The seasonal cuts offered mean that I get to try cuts of meat I would not normally choose resulting in some fabulous finds. As a result of being a regular customer I am absolutely inspired to be a better cook."
Ian Keasey
"The meat, tastes simply sublime, it is well packaged and arrives in absolute prime condition. The website is informative and intuitive, but what sets the WHM company apart, is the flexibility of ordering, the lack of binding commitments but most of all the pleasant and knowledgeable staff who are an absolute delight to deal with."
Simon O'Leary, July 2012
"I am a new customer and I am loving your products. The Gammon was delicious quite unlike the salt laden slices you get in the supermarket. Your beef is superb, deep red just as a well hung piece of meat should be. So tasty it didn't need any fancy sauces. I have already recommended a friend."
Trudy Bramall
"We have enjoyed our first taste of your meat - pork and almonds done in the slow cooker for 5 hours mmmm - absolutely delicious and amazing flavour"
Ian and Jane Smith
"I just wanted to say thanks!
We had lamb chops from our Well Hung Meat Co meat box last night and they were amazing. Incredible quality meat, incredibly tender and fantastically tasty, without any sauces or marinades. I am constantly recommending you guys because I'm never disappointed with the quality of your produce.
Looking forward to more meat boxes!"
Simon Burgess
"The fillet steak was delicious. Absolutely brilliant. So flavourful - it was immediately obvious that it had been well hung, and brilliantly tender and moist. I am looking forward to getting some more of that in a future meat box."

Kiernan O'Shea
"We had the lamb steaks last night and they rocked. Really good."
Gareth Beck
"All I can say is all the meat is superb. I fried a rump steak in haste Saturday night and did not give it as much attention is I usual do or should and it still tasted tender and fantastic. My friends often commend me on my meals...a vital secret is most definitely the quality of the produce. That's something I need to thank you guys for.."
Ruth Noah
"Wow! Despite the fact I cooked them slightly more than I would normally like, the meat remained astonishingly tender and yielding, which is a quality I had almost forgotten about in meat. Absolutely superb, looking forward to the rest."

Sarah Nebens
"I bought one of your turkeys for Christmas Day... and I just wanted to say that it was absolutely delicious - probably the best turkey I've ever had... I've always thought that turkey was a boring, bland meat but I've changed my mind."
Polly Fox
"I served up your turkey and beef for Christmas lunch... none of us have tasted a proper tasting turkey for years - so thank you very much. The ham we had for tea was really excellent too... delicious flavourful and succulent meat."
Charlotte Westlake
"Just a short note to say how much we all enjoyed the meat supplied to us this Christmas. The turkey and ham in particular were full of flavour. We would certainly recommend you to others."
Valerie Singleton
"I would like to say how much we enjoyed the Christmas box, especially the beef which I slowcooked as per the recipe enclosed in the box. I have never done anything like that before, and it was so successful. Thank you."
Angela Shury-Smith, Christmas 2008
"Just to say that we were delighted with the meat. Both the fillet steak and the sirloin on the bone have been absolutely superb, flavour and texture as we remember it used to be when all meat came from good breeds reared properly and then well hung and well butchered..."
Philippa Coates
"...the turkey was the best any us had tasted. I usually have turkey left for curries and more but it all went, they loved it."
Kathryn Nash
"...our turkey was fantastic! Fab flavour, tender, moist, the best we've ever had."
Jacqui Stevens
"...the rib joint has been absolutely divine and we will certainly be ordering from you again in the future. There have been lots of contented little 'mmms' in our house this week!"
Su Lacy
"Just wanted to say how impressed I am with the quality and with you guys - you are excellent!"
Julie Shaughnessy, November 2008
"...just a word about the great pleasure we have with the meat we receive. It takes me back many years to how meat should really taste. (My uncle was a butcher who bred his own; and this was in the 1940s, mostly before the mass productions!) You come well up to those standards in every way."
Dr David Bosworth
"Wow! What a superb chicken, not an ounce of fat, crispy skin, juicy, tender and a lovely flavour... we'll be ordering from you again! Congratulations on running a fantastic organic farm business, an easy to browse, clear and concise website and thank you for also running the box return scheme... Top banana!!!!"

I've always been a fierce Megan Fox fan so, when it was revealed that Victoria's Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley would replace her in the third Transformers movie, Dark of the Moon, I was livid.
While no one could accuse Fox of having irreplaceable acting chops, Huntington-Whiteley's only credited "acting" role prior to Carly Spencer, Shia LaBeouf's girlfriend in the film, was as a Victoria's Secret Angel in their fashion shows, catalogues and videos.
To begin with, I couldn't stand her. How dare she muscle in on Fox's role as LabBeouf's girlfriend, with her pouty lips and Jason Statham by her side?
But then I saw an interview with her on Ellen and I didn't hate her. In fact, I quite liked her. Her accent, her personality and, yes, those lips.
So in preparation for writing this post, I watched Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Now, that's two and a half hours of my life I'll never get back, and Michael Bay's continued objectification of his female lead was sickening. When Patrick Dempsey's character introduces Sam Witwicky to a vintage sports car, describing how it was designed to mimic the curves of a woman's body as the camera pans Huntington-Whiteley's equally impressive body, it made me throw up in my mouth a little bit.
Rosie's probably no different than any other good looking female action star who's graduated from modeling, but there's something about her that doesn't make me hate her.
How do you feel about Rosie Huntington-Whiteley?

Notable fighters on the prelims include Daniel Cormier, Andre Galvao, Jorge Patino and Vinny Magalhaes.
The live blog is below.
Daniel Cormier vs. Jason Riley
Round 1: Cormier comes out in a pair of flashy gold trunks, so he wins the fashion contest. Riley clinches him against the fence right away, but if he thinks he's taking the Olympic wrestling team captain down, he'd better think again. They separate and Cormier stings him with a hard right that clearly hurts Riley, then follows with a single leg. Riley is just covering up as Cormier hammers him with punches from the top. Doesn't look like he's long for this fight. A few more blows from Cormier and Riley taps. A quick night of work for Cormier, as expected.
Daniel Cormier def. Jason Riley via submission (punches) at 1:02 of round one.
Andre Galvao vs. Jorge "Macaco" Patino
Round 1: Galvao comes plodding forward with his defenses up high and tosses out a slow head kick that Patino blocks. Patino responds with a punch combo that finishes with a head kick, all blocked by Galvao. Galvao shoots for the takedown and gets it, pinning Patino's back to the mat near the fence. Galvao moves to side control and then takes Patino's back and looks for the choke. Patino defends well and eventually dumps Galvao off him and gets back to this feet. Patino charges forward with an assault that's mostly blocked, but then he slips a right hand through Galvao's defense and drops him. Galvao is hurt and Patino is pouring it on. Galvao hangs on and recovers, but then eats a hard left a few seconds later. He's bloodied and dazed in the final minute. He tries for a takedown to stop the onslaught, and they end the round resting on the mat. MMA Fighting scores the round 10-9 for Patino.
Round 2: Patino goes back to the same punch combo with head kick finish, but Galvao has his wits back and manages to block them. Galvao looks for a takedown against the fence and eventually gets it, landing in Patino's butterfly guard. Galvao goes to work with some ground-and-pound and then moves into half-guard. When his attempt to move into mount fails, Galvao settles for posturing up and landing some heavy blows on Patino. Patino rolls to try and avoid them and eventually manages to get back to his feet, but briefly. Galvao is wearing him out on the mat now, wisely avoiding the stand-up game altogether in this round. More ground-and-pound from Galvao to end the round, and Patino has no answer for it. MMA Fighting scores the round 10-9 for Galvao.
Round 3: Patino seems to have lost a little of the snap in his strikes after all this grappling. He tries an uppercut and it looks so slow that it probably wouldn't hurt even if it did land. As expected, Galvao goes for another takedown and gets it. We're back to the same mauling we saw for most of round two. Patino rolls to his knees and absorbs a ton of punches to the side of his head while doing absolutely nothing about it. The referee has seen enough. Patino doesn't like it, but he didn't do much to prevent it.
Andre Galvao def. "Macaco" Patino via TKO (strikes) at 2:45 of round three.
Vinicius Magalhaes vs. Rocky Long
Round 1: Magalhaes (no, not the one from "The Ulitmate Fighter") shoots for a takedown and is stuffed by Long. He quickly falls to his back and looks for a heel hook on Long, and it seems close. Long keeps rolling and eventually frees himself, but he can't quite get away from Magalhaes suffocating grappling attack. Magalhaes has Long in a front head lock against the cage, with Long down on one knee. Magalhaes appears to land two very illegal knees to the head, but the referee doesn't even blink. Interesting. MMA Fighting scores the round 10-9 for Magalhaes.
Round 2: The two fighters spend the first minute or so of the round staring at one another, and the crowd makes it quite plain that they didn't come here to see that kind of nonsense. Neither man seems like he's going to be goaded into actually hitting the other man, however, so the staring contest continues for much of the round. Magalhaes moves in and presses Long against the cage, working out of the clinch, but without doing much damage. The crowd is in full boo-mode to end the round. MMA Fighting scores if 10-10. Nobody did anything.
Round 3: Magalhaes in a little more active to start the round, jumping in with a wild hook that doesn't come close to landing. Long fires back and they move to the mat, with Magalhaes slipping to Long's back in a nifty little move. Long defends against the rear naked choke well, but can't seem to get Magalhaes off his back. Magalhaes thinks about transitioning to the armbar, but doesn't seem to want to give up the position. The round ends with Magalhaes still on Long's back, perhaps landing some punches to the back of Long's head, but again the referee doesn't seem interested in doing much about it.
Vinicius Magalhaes def. Rocky Long via unanimous decision
Kier Gooch vs. Adam Schindler
Round 1: They meet in the center of the cage and exchange a furious flurry of punches. Schindler may not have cared for that, because he goes for a takedown right away and gets it. Schindler moves into mount and looks for an arm triangle, but abandons it and moves to side control. Gooch pulls off a nice reversal to go from bottom to top, but the ensuing scramble gives up his back. Gooch tries to get to his feet, but Schindler hangs on and locks in the rear naked choke. Gooch is up, but in deep trouble. He can't stop the choke, so he falls to his back and taps once he hits the mat.
Adam Schindler def. Kier Gooch via submission (rear naked choke) in the first round
Again, no time given. Guess the ring announcer can't be bothered with the details for prelim fights.
Update: Strikeforce confirms the finish came at 1:58.
Jose Santibanez vs. Reynaldo Trujillo
Round 1: Santibanez starts us off with a lunging right hand that forces Trujillo back. Trujillo regains his bearings and avoids the next charging assault. Trujillo stuns Santibanez with a sharp left, then follows it with a right that drops him. Trujillo pounces and unleashes a flurry of punches. Santibanez tries for a single-leg, but it's not stemming the tide of the blows. Referee Kerry Hartley has seen enough, and moves in to stop it.
Reynaldo Trujillo def. Jose Santibanez via TKO in the first round.
No time for the stoppage was given, and the video in the arena doesn't feature a round timer, so we're out of luck.
Update: stoppage came at 0:23.
Chad Robichaux vs. Humberto Deleon
Round 1: Robichaux is popular with the crowd in Houston, it seems. He's a ball of energy to start the fight, too. Robichaux darts in and out with punches and leg kicks, though nothing much is landing. Robichaux tries to jump into guard on a standing DeLeon, but soon gives it up. DeLeon briefly puts him on his back, then again a few seconds later. DeLeon goes into a less than secure mount, but doesn't do much with the position. The round ends with DeLeon pressing forward and putting Robichaux against the fence. MMA Fighting scores the round 10-9 for DeLeon.
Round 2: Robichaux immediately goes for the takedown and gets a slow single-leg that eventually puts DeLeon on his back. Robichaux is in side control for a few seconds, but then somewhat willingly moves into DeLeon's full guard. DeLeon is actually landing the better strikes from the bottom position, and this encourages Robichaux to get up and step back. DeLeon gets to his feet in a scramble and almost locks in an anaconda choke, but gives it up. Another takedown from Robichaux ends the round. MMA Fighting scores it 10-9 for DeLeon.
Round 3: DeLeon snaps a couple leg kicks off to start the final frame. Robichaux attempts a jumping knee, but it only earns him a right hand to the face from DeLeon. A nice front kick from Robichaux lands flush on DeLeon's face. It's his best strike of the night, and he tries it again a few moments later but DeLeon is hip to it by now and ducks out of the way. A hard right from DeLeon knocks Robichaux on his back. He tries to encourage DeLeon to come down and grapple with him, but no dice. They end the round on their feet, with Robichaux going back to work with the front kick. Seems like too little, too late. MMA Fighting scores the round 10-9 for DeLeon.
Chad Robichaux def. Humberto DeLeon via split decision (29-28, 29-28, 28-29)
The decision is met with a smattering of boos from the crowd, but DeLeon doesn't seem too indignant about the call.
Chad Cook vs. Arteneus Young
Round 1: The two tentatively move in to touch gloves with Young looking a little wary of Cook's show of sportsmanship. Cook tries for a double-leg against the cage, but Young defends well and then puts Cook on his back. After an uneventful minute or so on the mat they get back to their feet, though the fists aren't exactly flying with a fury so far and the fans are getting restless. Both men seem worried about opening up their offense and getting taken down. Fans are unimpressed. Cook looks for a kneebar in the closing seconds, but nothing doing. MMA Fighting scores the round 10-9 for Young.
Round 2: Young looks much sharper to start the second. He lets his hands go after stopping a Cook takedown attempt, and connects with a nice three-punch combo that has Cook looking a little stunned. A stinging right lands for Young. He seems to be realizing that he has a significant speed advantage over Cook. Cook tries another takedown and eats an uppercut. He clearly wants to get this one to the mat now, but he's not even coming close to Young's legs at this point. The round ends with Cook looking tired and all out of good ideas. MMA Fighting scores the round 10-9 for Young.
Round 3: A head kick from Cook starts off the final frame. There's something new from him, though it's mostly blocked by Young. Young lands a hard right, then seconds later just misses with a lunging hook. Young is the much fresher fighter now, not to mention the quicker one. You get the sense that if only he'd attack a little more aggressively he could end this. Cook tries another takedown, but Young responds by putting him on his back and then trying to fire up the crowd as he waits for Cook to get back to his feet. Cook goes down off a slip once more before the round ends. He seems like he's just grateful for the chance to rest. MMA Fighting scores the round 10-9 for Young.
Arteneus Young def. Chad Cook via unanimous decision

Three members of the Dougherty County school board took their oath of office today, including two new board members.
Board members say they're optimistic about 2013, because they're confident this new board will work together and make important decisions needed to help the system move in a positive direction.
"I feel that how hard I worked all summer to get elected is going to be mild in comparison with what I need to do from here on out," said newly elected board member Lane Price.
But now newly re-elected Board Chairman James Bush and new members Lane Price and Robert Youngblood have a lot of work ahead.
"This is serious, we are being entrusted with millions in tax payers dollars but more importantly We are being entrusted with at least 16,000 school children in our school system," said Price.
Board members are optimistic, this new group will work together and get things back on track.
"Those children must get an education, that money must be spent wisely and honestly," she said.
They'll be put to the test right away, when they select an interim superintendent.
"That will set the tone," said newly elected board member Robert Youngblood.
Board members interviewed three candidates for the job. Now, they will need to come together and pick the person they think is capable of leading the board best.
"I feel we have found the person who is the right fit for what we need," said Price.
"I can't help but believe this is going to help make a big difference and turn the board to what it was years ago when I first started working for them," said Tommy Coleman.
School Board attorney Tommy Coleman has represented the board for 17 years, but recently he's witnessed the divide, and he's experienced the negative impact first hand.
"When that happens its difficult for an attorney, to know who to turn to help make decisions."
Once an interim is chosen, board members can focus on other important issues like school security and curriculum.
Board members wont agree on everything, but they share a common mission, "That's the bottom line, our children." said Chairman James Bush.
Next up, the new board will meet and decide who will be the new interim superintendent.

Belgrade, 3 October 2011
Mr. Vice Prime Minister, Your Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is an honour for me to speak to you at the opening of the 11th Belgrade Economic Summit. When we look back at the last decade since this event was founded, the speed of change is impressive: in 2001, the Serbian people clearly expressed its desire for freedom, democracy and ownership for its future. Even though Serbia and its people had to face setbacks ever since, the record is encouraging: especially since 2008, this country has not only signed and ratified the Stabilisation and Association Agreement with the European Union, but also implemented the Interim Trade Agreement, submitted a membership application for the European Union, reached visa liberalisation for its citizens, and, last but not least, fully complied with its international and historical obligations by extraditing all indictees of the ICTY tribunal.
Today, I would like to take up the title of this economic summit "Moving ahead to the European Union" and address in this context three issues:
-The bilateral relationship between Serbia and Austria
-Serbia's EU perspective
-And finally, I would like to give you some "atmospheric" insights into the EU, which also might have an effect on Serbia's path towards EU integration.
Austria is extremely appreciative of all the positive steps that the government of this country has made especially during the last 3 years. Even though we do not have a common border, Austria considers itself an indirect neighbour of Serbia: Its large Serbian community makes Vienna the second largest Serbian city outside of Serbia (after Chicago) and gives proof our common history and close ties. Another evidence of our strong historical ties is the fact that Austria was the first country, which opened, exactly 175 years ago, the first consular office in Belgrade.
We are also closely tied together by strong economic links. It may not be new to you, but I would like to recall that Austria is the single biggest foreign investor in this country, with investments worth 2.4 billion Euros since 2000. These investments were made because we strongly believe in the future of this country. More than 300 Austrian companies are located in Serbia, and I would like to highlight that during the financial crisis in 2008 and 2009, no Austrian firm left Serbia. – This is another proof that Austria and Austrian business believe in this country and in its perspective.
We understand that the vast majority of Serbians see the future of their country in the European Union, and we know that the Serbian government is putting up big efforts to reach this perspective. Serbia has carried out important reforms in the field of democratisation and rule of law over the last few years and it has taken up the fight against organised crime. In this context, I would like to thank Deputy-Prime Minister Dacic for his clear personal commitment to international cooperation, which has linked up Austrian and Serbian police in their efforts to fight organised crime.
But I would also like to point out that further improvement of the investment climate would attract even more foreign companies, and would thus enhance prosperity in the region. The keys for such an improvement are a reliable and efficient judicial system, as well as the reduction in bureaucracy, which hampers both domestic and international investors. A decisive fight against corruption is also necessary to deepen bilateral economic relations, which will definitely create a win-win scenario for both sides.
As Serbia is an important partner to Austria, we offer practical support in your efforts to EU-approximation, in particular with the instrument of Twinning, where experts of EU Member States directly assist their colleagues in pre-accession countries. Austrian experts have already successfully implemented 2 twinning projects in the transport and agricultural sector and we are involved in 6 other ongoing projects. Austria remains committed to provide pre-accession support to your country, in particular by further strengthening Serbia's institutional and administrative capacities.
The Austrian Development Cooperation is equally involved in Serbia, for example with the so-called project on "cleaner and resource efficient production". The Austrian support aims at enhancing the efficiency, resource productivity, competitiveness and environmental performance of companies in Serbia, especially of small and medium enterprises.
Austria also sees an important link to the region through the river Danube and the EU Strategy for the Danube Region. The aim of this strategy is to address common issues and challenges, such as environmental threats (water pollution, floods, climate change), the untapped shipping potential and lack of road and rail transport connections, as well as insufficient energy connections and uneven socio-economic development. This strategy has sparked great interest throughout the region and we welcome Serbia's very active involvement.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
In our view, 2010 and 2011 have been successful years for the Western Balkans: Croatia has concluded its accession negotiations and it is planned to sign the accession treaty in December this year. We are convinced that this important step will give a boost to the whole region. We believe that, as Croatia has demonstrated, a credible EU perspective continues to be the best incentive for reform and good governance in the region.
Serbia has come a long way over the last decade. The political circumstances were not always favourable, and territorial disintegration has often slowed down or hampered the reform efforts. However, I believe that Serbia is in a different, more favourable position today. The direction is clear now, and this is maybe one of the most important preconditions for a successful way forward.
With the arrest of the last fugitive indictees, the Serbian government has demonstrated its full cooperation with the ICTY. Serbia has thus done away with a heavy burden on its road towards European integration.
I hope that on this basis, the year 2012 could become the year for a new start in the Western Balkans. Old conflicts can be left aside, current conflicts like the one over Kosovo must be solved through compromise. We hope that after the elections in Croatia and Serbia, pro-European governments will boost the implementation of reforms and regional co-operation. In this context, we welcome the efforts that have been made by President Tadic in the region over the last few years.
What remains to be done?
In this context, the issue of Kosovo has to be mentioned, too. Regional integration and European integration cannot be successful if the Kosovo question remains open. Kosovo's independence is a reality. Partition is not an option. The challenge ahead is to find a formula of autonomy for Northern Kosovo, in my view along the lines of Ahtisaari, to accommodate the concerns of all citizens of Kosovo, regardless of their ethnicity.
The dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, which has started earlier this year, was a very good start but it is highly regrettable that this dialogue was interrupted last week because of actions of irresponsible forces in Northern Kosovo. What the Serbian population in Northern Kosovo needs, is the rule of law and a sustainable economic perspective. Progress would be necessary not only for the Serbs living in Kosovo, but also in the Southern, less developed parts of Serbia. The economy and society in Southern Serbia need dynamic exchange and open border crossings – on the basis of the rule of law.
Progress between Pristina and Belgrade will certainly speed up the launch of accession negotiations with the EU. Even though a successful outcome of the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina is no formal condition for membership negotiations, it is self-evident that a substantial territorial conflict with a neighbouring state is a strong obstacle to successful integration.
Cooperation is also key when it comes to the whole region. – Political cooperation as well as economic cooperation. In terms of trade volume, there is a huge economic potential that remains untapped in this region. In this context, I am very grateful to the organisers of this conference, because through this event, they have been trying for many years to foster economic cooperation within the region as well.
I would also like to mention a few words about the situation and atmosphere within the EU: We are going through a time when the fight against the financial crisis and its consequences has become the top priority of the political agenda inside the European Union. Since the outbreak of the financial crisis, the discussion about the so-called enlargement fatigue both in the EU and in the Western Balkans seems to have gained momentum. The argument of the skeptics is that further enlargement would be too much of a burden in a time when governments have to focus on tackling the economic crisis. Let me be clear on that: this argument is wrong. There is no alternative to integration of and reinforced co-operation with the countries of South Eastern Europe!
And the facts and figures of the last decade clearly show that both sides have profited from this reinforced co-operation: Trade volume between Serbia and the EU has rocketed from 3.1 billion Euros in 2000 to 11.2 billion Euros in 2010, contributing to a steady economic growth in Serbia.
Re-inforced co-operation also means strong financial support from the EU:
More than 3 billion Euros have been granted to Serbia by the EU and its member States since 2000. These grants have been invested to support the sustainable development of this country in the fields of infrastructure, economy, social services and the democratisation.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Despite these times of crisis, the EU must not forget about its commitment towards the countries of the Western Balkans. In 2003, the EU has declared in the Thessaloniki agenda that the future of the countries of the Western Balkans lies within the European Union. This commitment, which has been reiterated many times, has effectively contributed to the necessary reforms which most of the countries of this region have undertaken ever since.
I am therefore glad that in the case of Croatia, EU membership is about to turn from a perspective into reality, which proves that the EU takes her commitments seriously. At this time of introspection, the EU needs some positive developments and I am convinced that the case of Croatia will give the EU some positive, new momentum.
As for Serbia, the Austrian government is of the opinion that Serbia – based on concrete progress -deserves to receive candidate status, so that membership negotiations can start as soon as possible. This will be our position, assuming that there is progress in the normalisation with Kosovo.
It is not Austria's job to decide about Serbia's future, this is a decision to be taken by the Serbian people. But we are convinced that Serbia's membership in the EU would contribute to the European zone of peace, stability and prosperity and we would very much like to see Serbia as part of the European family. Therefore Austria has always supported Serbia's EU perspective. BUT: We can help to open doors – but Serbia must walk through them! It is Serbia that must convince the sceptical EU Member States and must show that it really wants to walk that path!
Let me conclude by underlining again that we Austrians have always considered ourselves as partners of Serbia on the way towards Europe, and we will continue to do so as your neighbour and friend. In this sense, I am very glad that today's conference is entitled "Moving ahead to the European Union" because it clearly shows your commitment. And I can only encourage you again to continue on your successful path and can assure you of our continued support.
Thank you.

RALEIGH — The winter that has worn out its welcome will bring cold to the Triangle yet again along with rain and an outside chance of a few snowflakes Tuesday morning.
National Weather Service forecasters said computer models disagree about just where the line between early snow and all rain will be, but they agree there is at least an even chance everyone will see afternoon rain.
If there is snow, there will be little or no accumulation, the forecasters said, labeling it a nuisance event.
Overnight lows Monday will go into the 30s and probably be just barely cold enough for wet snow as a low-pressure system that will be zipping up the coast causes precipitation.

[Resolved] Links a specific pages doesn't work
Hi, I've just installed a Buddypress 1.6.3 on a WordPress 3.5 to create an internal social network for a company, and have a problem with the URLs of the pages. The default pages URL is /nv-blogorporativo/index.php/activities, /nv-blogorporativo/index.php/users and so on. When I go into those pages, they are empty, but when I get into those using the Search, for instance, the content appears, but the URL is /nv-blogorporativo/users or /nv-blogorporativo/activities. And, of course, if I use those URL, I enter without problems. How can I correct this URL discordance?
Thank you for your attention.

Cleanup will keep birds from getting hooked
Date: October 13, 2009
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
The first Monofilament Cleanup Day will take place from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct. 17, beginning at Save Our Seabirds, 1708 Ken Thompson Parkway.
The event is sponsored by Sarasota Bay Watch, Audubon of Florida and Save Our Seabirds, and aims to cleanup fishing line, which, when left behind, can become entangled on Sarasota Bay's bird-nesting islands and shorelines, posing a fatal hazard to birds and other wildlife.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission biologists identify monofilament fishing line as the No. 1 killer of adult brown pelicans.
"The birds face increasing pressures from habitat loss, storm damage and predation," said Mark Rachal, Audubon of Florida Field Biologist, in a prepared statement.
Birds usually become entangled in fishing line in one of three ways: They become hooked in the beak, gullet, wing or leg when pursuing an angler's bait or lure. Second, because birds line their nests with fine materials, they sometimes collect discarded monofilament snarls. Lastly, fishermen sometimes cast lines near a bird colony and snag a mangrove. The fisherman cuts the line when unable to retrieve it, and the line hangs over the canopy and becomes an invisible snare.
"The monofilament cleanup is a great way for community members to get involved in helping the environment, all while spending a day on the water," said John Ryan, president of Sarasota Bay Watch, in a prepared statement.
Volunteers are needed for the event. To register, contact Colleen Adler at 955-5333. For information, contact Kathy Meaux at 809-8858 or Mark Rachal at 813-623-6826.

Between 8 and 12 million Americans over the age of 50 (or one in 20 adults) have Peripheral arterial disease (PAD), a condition that raises the risk for heart attack and stroke. PAD occurs when extra cholesterol and other fats circulating in the blood collect in the walls of the arteries that supply blood to your limbs. This buildup—called plaque—narrows your arteries, often reducing or blocking the flow of blood.
PAD is most commonly seen in the legs. Often times people with PAD do not have symptoms and the disease can go undiagnosed.
Timely detection and treatment of PAD can improve the quality of your life; help you keep your independence and mobility; and reduce your risk of heart attack, stroke, leg amputation, and even death.

Thoughts on the Samsung Galaxy S5
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Editorial, Handhelds
I wanted to publish some of my thoughts on the new Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone in response to a few comments I've seen others making. Some random clarifitations:
1) While the Galaxy S5 does have a fingerprint sensor, it is bad enough that it will just be a frustration for those who try it out, and they'll likely disable it. Unlike Apple's Touch ID, Samsung's requires a vertical swipe at a very specific angle (or, non-angle.) With Touch ID on the iPhone 5s, you simply press your finger to the Home button, and it instantaneously unlocks your phone. The S5 scanner only works when you scan your finger straight down, towards the bottom of the phone, making it difficult to unlock the phone with one hand. The implementation on the Galaxy S5 is nowhere near as simple.

Samsung Galaxy S5 specs and release date
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Google, Handhelds
As expected, Samsung introduced the Galaxy S5 at its Unpacked event on Monday. This time around, the company focused more on the practical hardware features of the smartphone, as opposed to the bell-and-whistle show we got with the Galaxy S4--we're talking about faster connectivity, a great display, durable build, and camera features that anyone can appreciate.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 packs in a 5.1-inch Super AMOLED display with 1080p resolution, with a 2.5GHz quad-core CPU, and running Android 4.4.2 KitKat. The battery in the device hold 2800mAh of power, and it's paired alongside a "Super Power Save" mode that'll turn off battery-draining features and turn the display black-and-white in instances where you absolutely want to stretch out your battery life for as long as you can.

Ask Andru: How to improve Touch ID and secure your iPhone
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Features, Software
We're back for another installment of Ask Andru, where I take your burning tech questions and give you practical answers! This time, we have a two-parter as it pertains to securing your iPhone 5s (see our iPhone 5s review) and iPad, as well as making Touch ID work as well as expected. Here we go, these questions were sent in by Mike:
I have two questions,
- I have a two part question, what is the best security app for the iPad mini with Retina display & the iPhone 5s?
- Since I picked up my new iPhone 5s from the AT&T Store-Lynwood this past October and two exchanges for two new replacement phones from the Apple Store @ Alderwood Mall, the Touch ID still has not worked for me. Have other users had problems with the Touch ID? In regards to exchanging my 5s for a 5c or a Droid phone, I have been informed that it is past their respective fourteen day warranty period to facilitate an exchange because their operating systems will not allow this transaction to take place. So thus, AT&T and Apple have left me with a defective product.
Let's start with that first one. When most people talk about security apps, I think they're asking about something that will protect them from viruses and malware getting installed on their mobile devices. For Android, for example, you might want to have something installed due to the rampant malware that can be found in the Google Play store. However, Apple sandboxes each app, and as such, none get full access to take over your device, no matter how hard they try. Apple also has a vetting process for each app as well, so there are no antivirus or anti-malware apps that you'll need. Yet, one app that I do love for security and protection is called 1Password. Let me explain.

Is this our first look at the iPhone 6?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Handhelds, Rumors
Is this the iPhone 6? It's February, and that means that like clockwork, it's time for the next iPhone leaks to start dropping. The only thing we know is that Apple is working on its next flagship device, and that the iPhone 6 should launch this fall. We've ben hearing reports that Apple will release two larger-sized variants this time around: a 4.7-inch model, alongside a 5.5-inch version.
As you can see in the pictures (which, to be clear, have not been verified to be real), the displays here are larger than those found on the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s, and also takes on the design language of the iPad Air and iPad mini. Neither are too far-fetched, and for our tastes, we think it looks great. Also, check out that bezel-less display, another rumored feature of the iPhone 6. Of course, even if these are real, Apple tests multiple designs, and this could be one of a few different ideas that the company is playing with.
We've got two more pictures of the device after the jump. What do you think? Let us know in the comments.
EDIT: Forum posters at MacRumors have taken a closer look at the images and have determined that they're rendered fakes. Reasons include textures that repeat and the usage of an out-of-date font.

Samsung Galaxy S5 announcement rumored for February 24
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Google, Rumors
It looks like Samsung is set to announce its new Galaxy S5 smartphone at the Samsung Unpacked 5 event on February 24th. It was previously expected that the Galaxy S5 would be announced at Mobile World Congress, similar to the S4 last year, but perhaps Samsung wants to churn out a new model a bit quicker this year.
Recent reports suggest that Samsung will align its Android devices a bit more closely with Google's vision, rather than in the grandiose fashion they've used in the past, focusing on superfluous features that weren't that exciting or usable in the real world. Of course, Samsung isn't saying anything, keeping the cat in the bag until February 24th.

Facebook Paper brings elegance to your timeline
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Internet, Software
Facebook has released its new Facebook Paper app, a free version of Facebook that introduces new ways of interacting with the social network. Similar to the popular Flipbook app, Facebook Paper is centered around eye-catching, full-screen images, and gesture-based navigation, bringing the topics and people you care about most to the forefront.
A product of Facebook Creative Labs, Paper looks great, and could likely replace the default Facebook app for most users, what with its magazine-style layout. To get users acquainted, Facebook Paper launches with a gesture tutorial, helping you become familiar with the new way of interacting with Facebook. It's a bold move, but it works. Facebook needs to constantly monitor the pain points that its users experience when using the service, especially on mobile. Paper solves a lot of those issues that the common Facebook user encounters in the more bloated full app, bringing a simple elegance and sense of ease with it.
Give it a shot, and let us know what you think in the comments. You can grab Paper now, for free.

Some north suburban residents are being warned to be on the alert after a possible cougar sighting on Sunday, Pioneer Press is reporting.
A Highland Park resident told police they saw a large, tan, feline-type animal, similar in stature to a cougar, walking in Old Elm Park, in the Highlands north of Half Day Road, on Nov. 25.
Highland Park police investigated after receiving a report Wednesday, but did not locate any tracks or other evidence confirming the identification of the animal.
However, police are telling residents to be alert, especially when outside with children and small pets.
In September, a resident of the 1100 block of Lincoln Avenue South, about two blocks west of Lake Michigan, also reported seeing a possible cougar.
And similar sightings were reported in Glencoe and Winnetka between April and September, but also remain unconfirmed.
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources says there are no sustained populations of cougars in Illinois, but young cats have been known to pass through the Midwest from the Black Hills area of South Dakota.
The animals generally avoid populated areas and may be seeking deer as their primary food source.
Deterrents include bright, flashing white lights, and loud noise.
Residents are urged to use caution if an animal fitting the description is observed to immediately report sightings of suspicious animals to Highland Park police at (847) 432-7730.
Police are investigating the murder of a homeless man who was beaten to death in an alley in Logan Square.

The owner of Centennial Hill Bar and Grill, where three people were shot and killed and five others were injured Dec. 28, can no longer operate a business in Montgomery.
Tuesday night the Montgomery City Council revoked the owner's right to operate a business in the city. The owner has also voluntarily turned in her liquor license to the ABC board.
The businesses license expired with the city Dec. 31. The owner didn't attempt to renew or re-apply for the license. A show cause hearing was on the agenda for Tuesday night's meeting, but the owner didn't show up. The council proceeded without her.
Montgomery Mayor Todd Strange ordered Centennial Hill to be closed immediately after the shooting.
Strange said he just got word the business is up for sale. The mayor said he hopes to work with the new owners to use the facility for another purpose.
The city council also took action to raise the age of entrance at certain establishments in the city that sell alcoholic beverages.
Under state law 19-year-olds can enter those establishments. Councilman C.C. Calhoun proposed an ordinance to raise the age to 21. The council voted unanimously to pass the ordinance.
The mayor has the power to veto the council's decision, sign the ordinance or do nothing. Calhoun said he hopes it will go into effect soon.

So far this year we haven't seen the Republicans have very much success on the 527 front. The RNC is doing well, and I don't doubt that more will be on the way.
However, the inevitability of such attacks doesn't argue for continuing this primary race. Every dollar spent fighting each other is a dollar donated to the GOP because it closes their funding deficit.
Further, the coming onslaught does not mean that there is no difference between a candidate with $40 million in the bank right now and one who is $15 million in the red. I know you didn't say that directly, but that is what I inferred, so I thought I would address it.

6 Signs You're Dating A Narcissist
Lastly, especially in important conversations, stay calm. Everyone listens better when they are in a good mood. Anger escalations increase the odds that both of you will end up in a zero-listening narcissism trap.
The bottom line? If you can see it and name it, the odds zoom upward that you will be able to figure out how to deal with narcissism effectively.
That's important because many of the most lovable and admirable guys in this world tend toward narcissistic habits. No need to give up on them. Just get savvy.
Susan Heitler, PhD, a graduate of Harvard, is a Denver clinical psychologist who specializes in treatment of relationship difficulties, anger, narcissism and bpd. Her website poweroftwomarriage.com offers at-home interactive exercises for overcoming relationship difficulties.

Momentum - Tailgated by a DartIn this lab, students will learn to estimate the speed of an object by applying conservation of momentum to an inelastic collision. Energy is not lost its transferred from one object to another. Students will fire a dart into the back of the free rolling car and measure the distance of the car, calculate the speed of the dart and car, and measure the mass of the car and dart.
Density RodsThe Density Rod Set consists of two rods. The aluminum rod sinks in warm water and floats in cool. This is because cool water is more dense than warm, and the aluminum rod is made to be between those two densities. The PVC rod does the reverse – floats in warm water and sinks in cool. This time, the rod changes more than the water, becoming more dense when it is cool.
Quantum Lab (Inquiry)Something that is quantized exists in multiples of a set quantity. Examples are charge [1.6 x 10-19C] or quantum energies of photons. Planck and Einstein predicted that light existed as discrete bundles called photons. Since they could not see a unit of photon energy, this lab constructs a model of how quanta was derived and visualized by scientists. In this INQUIRY lab, students will develop their own method for finding the pennies' mass.

Danny, Chris, and Shadd discuss what the Broncos need to do to win this game and what they hate the most about the dreadful Raiders.
For the second week in a row, Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos struggle to find their rhythm until the late in the game. Safeties continue to be the achilles heel for the Broncos defense while receivers continue to drop balls while Peyton tries to get his team on the same page. Conservative play calling starting to agitate Broncos fans including the crew of Bronco Plane
Peyton Manning pounded the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday night and didn't miss a beat after missing all of 2011 due to a neck injury. The Denver Broncos new QB was on fire and masterfully guided this team to victory. Von Miller had two sacks and Tracy Porter intercepted a Ben Roethlisberger pass for a touchdown helping the Broncos win their first game of the 2012 season. Fans are dancing in the streets in Denver. Go Broncos!
Who needs Nostradamus when you have Bronco Planet? Odds makers have the Denver Broncos as a point and a half favorite over the Pittsburgh Steelers but Danny and Shadd see a bigger win in store for the Peyton Manning led Broncos. Tune in to see what exciting events are happening prior to the game including pep rallies, tailgates, and Bronco Planet giveaways. Finally "Real Time" in Denver. Let the games begin!
Are you allowed to get really excited after a loss? Peyton Freakin' Manning was on fire as the Denver Broncos manhandled the stout 49ers defense during the first half of Sunday's preseason game.

Unearthing the 17th-Century Chesapeake
Four centuries ago, a band of English adventurers built a fort on the James River near the Chesapeake Bay. In the decades after 1607, shipload after shipload of colonists sought new lives in North America. They began moving inland, settling along the coastal rivers of Virginia and Maryland.
These early immigrants left us dramatic evidence of their lives — in the traces of the structures they built, the foods they ate, and the objects they used. The most vivid evidence waits in their unmarked graves and skeletons.
Today, scientists are recovering these buried clues and investigating these most personal physical records. We are meeting the Chesapeake's earliest European and African settlers in entirely new ways. Their stories are written in their bones.

Nairobi, Kenya, 22 May 2005 - His Highness the Aga Khan emphasises the importance of press freedom and of investing in African journalism, at the opening ceremony of the International Press Institute (IPI), World Congress and 54th General Assembly. The conference was officially opened by H.E. Hon. Mwai Kibaki, President of Kenya. The IPI was founded in 1950 in New York by a small group of newspaper editors from 15 countries, who recognised the need for a truly international press freedom organisation. Today IPI is an authoritative grouping of editors, media executives and leading journalists from newspapers, magazines, broadcasting organisations and news agencies in over 120 countries. IPI holds its World Congress in a different country each year, thus underlining its global perspective.

In the meantime, the fight in Montana has heated up. Under the state's previous governor, Republican Judy Martz, Montana's Department of Environmental Quality held that coalbed methane water is not a pollutant covered by the Clean Water Act. But in 2003, the Northern Plains Resource Council, a coalition of ranchers and environmentalists, won a federal circuit court ruling that it is a pollutant.
Last June, the Northern Plains Resource Council petitioned the state's Board of Environmental Review to strictly regulate water from coalbed methane wells. Under the current governor, Democrat Brian Schweitzer, the atmosphere is more conducive to environmental regulation. "The governor is quite concerned about the quality of the water available for irrigation and other uses," says his chief policy advisor, Hal Harper.
The petition has drawn the Energy Department out into the open. In December, the department sent John Veil, the water policy program director at its Argonne National Laboratory, to testify against Montana's proposed regulations at a board hearing. Veil questioned the scientific validity of the rules and argued that they overstepped Clean Water Act authority.
The Energy Department also released a pair of unfavorable reports targeting the regulations. One asserts that Montana's proposed rules could decrease methane production in the Powder River Basin by 90 percent within five years. The other predicts potential losses of $5.3 billion to $21 billion worth of gas. That would translate into substantial losses in royalties for both states.
Bad science, bad economics
But some analysts question the Energy Department's conclusions, noting that high gas prices are generating record profits and should make water treatment comparatively affordable.
The department "has ginned up some very unusual and flatly uneconomic techniques and they get some absurd results," says Michael Kavanaugh, an economist hired by the Northern Plains Resource Council. According to engineer Jim Kuipers, who also analyzed the report for the group, the department grossly overestimates the costs of drilling and water treatment. Kavanaugh says that both the EPA and the private firm Lookout Mountain Analysis have shown that aggressive water treatment will result in "no lost gas," even at relatively low prices.
Under the Clean Water Act, states have authority to implement strict pollution controls, but the Department of Energy could still prevail, if the fight ends up in Congress or the Supreme Court. In January, Wyoming's entire congressional delegation, all Republicans, sent a letter to the Montana board, asserting that because the regulations will affect Wyoming, they "may impermissably regulate interstate commerce," a violation of the U.S. Constitution.
Montana also looks ready to fight. In January, 59 of the state's Democratic legislators sent a letter encouraging the Board of Environmental Review "to move forward with this important solution to ensure protection of Montana's water for future generations." The board will make its final decision March 23.

(Oct. 14) -- Another eyewitness has come forward with allegations of improprieties in voter registration. This witness says she worked directly for the Republican party.
Unlike the allegations leveled earlier this week by another former field registrar, this source, Patricia Parker, does not claim to have seen registration forms torn up or tossed away. But she says she and others were told to do exactly that by their Republican employers.
"The person I went out with each day, her and I talked about it. Why throw them away? Why can't we just register them?" asked Patricia Parker.
She says she worked for less than two weeks as a voter registrar for the state Republican Party. She and others walked neighborhoods to sign up voters, but only Republican voters. She says her supervisors at the party, two women named Monica and Drea, told the employees what they should do with any registrations they received from Democrats.
"Just do whatever you want to with it. Dispose of it or bring it back here and we will dispose of it," Parker said.
Parker says she never did it and never saw it done but knows that Democratic forms were returned to the office. She says she wasn't a disgruntled employee but did feel guilty about what she was doing.
A state party official told Eyewitness News that the charges are outright lies. He acknowledged there was a door-to-door registration campaign and that Monica and Drea do work for the party but said there is no way anyone would issue instructions to destroy valid registrations, even from Democrats.
Parker's allegations mirror those leveled earlier by Eric Russell who worked for a company called Voters Outreach of America, funded by the national Republican Party. Russell says he witnessed the destruction of voter registration forms by his supervisor at Voters Outreach, a woman named Jeannie Morgan.
Voters Outreach closed up shop and left Las Vegas last week, but reached by phone, Morgan blasted Russell as being a disgruntled employee who threatened her and others. It was Russell who tore up the registration forms she says, not her.
"He stood there and did it and I have three witnesses," Jeannie Morgan, Voters Outreach of America. Russell has now filed a sworn affidavit as part of a legal complaint filed in district court.
The lawsuit filed by the state Democratic Party, seeks to force the election department to reopen voter registration so that people whose forms were trashed can sign up to vote. A hearing on that issue is set for Friday morning in district court.
The veracity of Eric Russell could be a central issue in the court showdown. His testimony forms the basis for most of the complaint. He told Eyewitness News that its Jeannie Morgan who's the liar and that he's sure she's pretty scared now that all of this has come out.
The FBI is gathering information and so is the Secretary of State.

Yik Yak is the latest app causing trouble in the classroom. Jefferson County Deputy Mike Yarborough says it was recently brought to his attention by school officials. Yik Yak is a simple app that takes seconds to download. A user logs on and Yik Yak shows messages posted by other users within a ten mile radius, but there's a catch.
"When you download it, you don't have to have a user name," Yarborough explained.
It's the messages anonymous users are leaving behind that concerns Yarborough.
"A lot of it can be considered cyber bullying. Bullying towards other students, teachers, and principals," Yarborough added.
Since the Sheriff's office became aware of Yik Yak they've seen "bullying" type posts in three areas Hoover, Clay And Thompson. After seeing an alarming number of the harassing type messages, Yarborough is worried a Yik Yak post could lead to a tragic event.
"Depending on how seriously cyber bullying is taken these days, I believe this can be very dangerous. I mean we've had here locally children commit suicide because of people bullying them and this is a very easy way to bully people," Yarborough explained.
Yarborough encourages parents to check their student's phone for Yik Yak and similar 'anonymous social apps'.
"Especially apps like this. And if they have it, find a way to control it, or even get rid of it. I can't think of a reason to actually have an app like this"
Yarborough says the best way to keep track of the apps on your kid's phone is to have a family account for downloading apps and says only parents should have the password required to approve downloads.
Yik Yak's co-founder Brooks Buffington says the app is designed so that users can vote down messages they do not want to see and the company has no control over what users decide to use it for. Buffington released this statement:
"We made this app for college students and recent graduates with the intention of creating friendly and constructive communities. Yik Yak has created fantastic communities in different cities and colleges campuses cross the nation where this problem is virtually non-existent."
