Lieutenant Commander Barry McCool was the guest speaker at Monday night's Silent Wings Museum event honoring veterans.
McCool, a veteran himself, served two tours in Vietnam as a Marine, taking in part in twelve major battles. He then became a naval aviator, flying over 3,500 hours in five different aircraft, but his speech was about the reaction he received when he returned home.
"I've been spit on, I had fruit thrown at me, rotten vegetables, it was not a pleasant time to be in the military, coming home," McCool said. "We received briefings from senior Marine officers that we were not to wear uniforms off the base. We were to let our hair grow out on the transit from Okinawa and Vietnam back to the states."
The abuse McCool and the other soldiers faced was so bad that war seemed like an escape.
"It made me want to go back to combat. I signed a waiver to go back after three months stateside because I couldn't handle the rejection and the problems associated with being in the military," he said. "I felt more comfortable being shot at and being able to shoot back than being a member of the military here in the United States."
McCool says thankfully the times have changed. He feels the men and women coming home from battle today are treated with respect and adequately thanked for their service.
"They really understand and they really appreciate the sacrifice that our young men and women are making so that the United States and the people in the United States can enjoy the freedom you have."
McCool says people should go up and thank Vietnam veterans or the "lost generation of soldiers" as he called them, because many of them never were able to experience how much we appreciate their sacrifice.

|"Art is the only way to run away without leaving home."
~ Twyla Tharp
A Summer Treat
artwork purchase e-card return to gallery
Every hot afternoon, he takes a break from working on the summer cottage. He swaggers across the stream of vacation traffic to the townýs ice cream shop. He doesn't quite know which flavor he'll get, but he knows he will be greeted by a big grin from the young guy behind the counter. And for a few moments, they each get to indulge in A Summer Treat.
With the last few days being so hot and muggy, there's really no need to explain my inspiration for this piece. I'm just glad I got to work on it indoors with the ac running.

The ice cream stand looks like the one by the long pier in Ptown. Love the smile on the handsome kid serving up the vanilla cone.

I really enjoy this picture. It is whimsical, playful, erotic and slightly transgressive. My love of soft serve ice cream and hot guys aside, the artwork goes beyond the obvious innuendo of the ice cream cone. The positioning of the patron with his shirt hanging evokes the hanky code and the money casually held certainly suggests exchange ("I've got something you'll really like"), a pairing (two dollars) and has a very subtle implication of rent boys or rough trade, which brings a transgressive dimension that makes this picture even hotter than the summer heat that brought our patron to the stand.Tuesday, June 5, 2012 at 01:00 PM

The young server's heartbeat raced, warming his cool hand. Ice cream begins to ooze across his long fingers while he stares motionless at his customer's sculpted torso glistening in the strong sunlight from above. He feels the cone being gently lifted from his grasp. Hands touch. The suitor's steel blue eyes reach deep into his soul. Pulses sizzle like the summer day. The server laughs to himself nervously, completely unaware of what his customer was about to do...Tuesday, June 5, 2012 at 01:50 PM

A Summer Treat, would fit well into this years show "Under the Sun." It's a hot day, I assume the boy in the ice cream truck is a young gay, possibly a virgin, beause one of the screen shots of the piece focuses on the cherry. I imagine he's hard all day watching these sexy shirtless men. Then when this guy comes to buy some ice cream, he flirts with the younger gay, who melts, and fumbles his way around the truck to fill the order and hoping he gets filled , too.Friday, June 8, 2012 at 09:03 AM

I love the dichotomy that this piece invokes. It is hot outside and this customer is hot, hot, hot-- but the items for sale in this shop are ice cold. I think the only thing melting in this ice-cream shop is the clerk's heart once he gets a glimpse of his customer. Not unlike the treats found in this ice-cream shop, this muscular dude is cool, sweet and very tasty.Friday, June 8, 2012 at 10:41 PM

It's all aboard £5.5million comfy buses
8:27am Friday 29th June 2012 in Business News
BUS operator Wilts and Dorset cut the ribbon on one of its new buses after announcing £5.5million investment in a new fleet.
The bus company has bought 36 new single decker buses for its expanding "more" services, the M1 and M2 journeys linking Poole, Bournemouth, Castle-point and Springbourne.
Andrew Wickham, manager director, said some of the new Volvo Wright Eclipse 2 buses are already in use.
He said: "The new Eclipse 2 buses offer more comfort, with spacious interiors and are powered by the latest environmentally friendly, low-emission Euro 5 engines."
The new 41-seat buses also come equipped with CCTV.

Directed by "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" and "The Day the Earth Stood Still" director Scott Derrickson, "Sinister" stars Hawke as a true-crime novelist who makes a huge mistake: moving into a house where a family was gruesomely murdered. Happens to the best of us! Once he discovers a box of old 8mm films of other murdered families in the attic, he thinks he may have found his next big story, until he soon realizes the mistake we mentioned earlier.
As for the source of all the death and destruction? A stinky, old, clown-faced Pagan entity named Bagul who lives in the photos and films that Hawke found! Ain't that a bitch! Worst thing about Bagul? Children are particularly vulnerable! Stupid Bagul!
You've got to hand it to the realtor though: convincing a family to move in to a house nine months after a whole family was brutally murdered there had to have won he/she that Cadillac El Dorado. Or at least the steak knives.
In all seriousness, "Sinister" looks like it could provide a legit scare or two -- horror films are always more effective if they're acted well -- and while "Sinister" isn't the first to sip from the "killer who lives in images" well, the concept hasn't exactly been exhausted. Film critic/screenwriter C. Robert Cargill seems to have provided a better than average script, and when "Sinister" opens on October 5th, can we ask for anything more in the season's horror fare than a potentially creepy time at the cinemas?
Just don't take Bagul back to your house!

Ethan Hawke stars as famed author Ellison Oswald in this year's scariest movie, Sinister. Hitting our screens on Friday 5th October, here is your chance to tap into true-crime novelist's mind and life ahead of the release.
I really recommend you guys check this out if you are either a horror fan or just fancy watching the film. It's gotten great reviews already from the early-watchers and this blog is really just the first stage of the Sinister experience. Check it out.

I saw Sinister at the sneak SXSW screening, and it was fairly terrifying. Definitely worth more than one viewing. Compelling story, subtle twists, and fine acting from Mr. Hawke. Can't wait for October 5th!

Time off from cycling can be a good thing. One critical training principle is that of overload and recovery. For a system to grow stronger, it must be stressed and then allowed time to rebuild. This is the reason for recovery periods between hard efforts during interval workouts. From there, the principle expands to include rest days during hard training weeks, a recovery week within a month of training and, finally, a several-week-long hiatus after a season.
But what about recovery on a grander scale? The concept of a grand recovery period has implications for all athletes. Amateur racers and recreational cyclists frequently participate in events for several years and then turn to other pursuits and interests. Maybe you were a Cat 3 or an avid century rider five years ago, but your bike has been collecting dust or you've resigned yourself to just a weekend spin to stay moderately fit. It's not too late for a comeback.
Regardless of where you are in the process, there's one aspect of training that trips up cyclists more than any other: recovery rides. The concept is ridiculously simple: Take a very easy spin on your bike. To be honest, there's little scientific evidence that recovery rides are any more beneficial—physiologically—than sitting on your couch. The same can be said for massage, but athletes and coaches swear by both as ways to enhance between-workout recovery. Both help athletes feel fresher and looser for their next hard training session. And there's a clear psychological benefit to that.
Though it sounds simple, many athletes ruin their training by going too hard. To be effective, your easy ride must do no harm. Only by spinning at a very low intensity will you reap the psychological benefits.
Ease Off the Gas Pedal
So how do you properly execute a recovery ride? Start out easy. Once you're at a nice, relaxed pace, take your speed down another notch. You can't go too easy, but it's easy to go too hard. Think of it as taking the bike for a walk: You shouldn't be working any harder than you would during a stroll to the coffee shop. Your power output should be 30 to 50 percent of your maximum sustainable power output, and your heart rate should not go above 70 percent of your maximum sustainable heart rate. Keep your cadence at about 90 rpm—at low speeds and in low gears, this will seem brisk—and ride for 30 to 60 minutes. A power-meter graph from a recovery ride should show a low and relatively consistent power output, a relatively high cadence and little else.

I just watched the 2005 championship game, and some things really popped out at me.
I noticed Jamaal Charles had a horrible game. Jamaal fumbled the ball in the first quarter, and didn't play much until the end of the game. Jamaal eventually got back into the game, and fumbled again in the fourth quarted (called an incomplete pass).
R. Bobino must be better than us fans give him credit for. Chizik, Mac Duff, and now Muschamp seem to all like him. He played A LOT in the championship game. I also noticed Killabrew was all over the place in that game (what happened)!
The Texas defense deserves A LOT more credit than anybody has ever given them in this game.
When I watched this game, I couldn't help but wonder..What if Romance Taylor didn't screw up. What if VY stayed one more year..
The offensive line was awesome in 2005. I really hope the O-Line comes around this year...and the secondary.

|Thursday, 29 March 2012 13:42
SHADOW Minister for Communities and Housing, Mark Isherwood, has called on the Welsh Government to give power to communities.
Speaking in this afternoon's Welsh Conservative Debate on Communities,?Mr Isherwood said Welsh Government policy has empowered itself rather than local communities and stressed that taking power out of the hands of Government and giving?it to individuals, enterprises and charities in our communities can help provide better services more efficiently, benefiting the most vulnerable.
Mr Isherwood criticised the Welsh Government for rejecting calls by the Welsh Council for Voluntary Action (WCVA) for real community ownership in the future of Communities First?and for failing to engage with?the Wales Participatory Budgeting Unit??-?and called on Ministers to recognise that linking regeneration to housing development can contribute significantly to the economic recovery of communities.
He said: "In the 2008 document? 'Communities in Control, Real People, Real Power', the UK Labour Government aspired to enhance the power of communities and help people to set and meet their own priorities, thereby strengthening local democracy by increasing local participation. As a process of real community engagement, participatory budgeting is perhaps the most effective community empowerment process yet devised.
"The Wales Participatory Budgeting Unit is already having great success as a Social Enterprise which directly involves local people in making decisions on spending priorities. However, it is still struggling to engage with the Welsh Government."
Mr Isherwood added: "The?2007?UK Sustainable Communities Act began from the principle that local people know best what needs to be done to promote the sustainability of their area – but the Welsh Government refused to implement it in Wales.
"Community Housing Cymru's Local Government Election Manifesto – 'Are you serious about sustainable Communities?' ?launched yesterday states that 'linking regeneration to housing development can contribute significantly to the economic recovery of communities' but Wales has suffered over a decade of housing cuts?- and whilst new home registration rose in England and Scotland last year, they fell another 17% in Wales.
"Chartered Institute of Housing Cymru has estimated that Council Housing Stock Transfers invest approximately 5 times more money into tenants homes than if ownership remains in Local Authority hands, delivering local accountability and control, creating local jobs and training opportunities and supporting local businesses. But after a campaign of misinformation by the Flintshire Labour Party, Flintshire's Council Tenants have voted against transfer."
He added: "All too often, under Welsh Labour Government, money has washed over a community rather than watering its roots.
Wales needs realignment - a new era of local determinism - using individual and social entrepreneurship to ascend the global ladder."

In your health, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is the third leading cause of death in the United States.
Medication provides some relief but now there is another option and it all starts with an instrument.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can be irreversible. Commonly know as COPD, it's combination of bronchitis and emphysema that blocks airflow, making it hard to breathe.
Most of the time smokers develop COPD and the damage to the lungs is permanent.
But instead of medications to ease the pain, a lung flute is another alternative.
Here's how it works: the reusable plastic flute is capable of breaking up mucus in the lungs, making it easier to breathe. The patient blows into the flute sending vibrations into the airways. Those few minutes using the instrument can making breathing easier, and even protect against respiratory illnesses, like pneumonia.
The lung flute is FDA approved. Insurance typically covers the cost, but if you'd rather pay out of pocket, the lung flute and a six month supply of reeds only runs about $50. A doctor's prescription is needed to get one.
New software will allow radar to scan storms near ground every 2 minutes instead of 4.

- US Tourists Who Over OrderedLeeLeeVIPDined on 8/31/2014Most steak houses we frequent in the US don't serve any sides with the steak so we ordered extra sides PLUS our steak came with lots of sides, so we totally over ordered. Streaks were very good and we loved the people watching from the front window!
- Great ambiance and Attentive StaffSummer2014terracedinningDined on 8/26/2014We had a great dinner on the terrace. The staff is very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I would reccomend to anyone looking for a quiet dinner on a beautiful terrace in the middle of beautiful Old Montréal.Special Features:
- Nice experienceFamfoodiesDined on 8/25/2014The steak was not bad and the people working at vieux-port were really accommodating. We have a 2yr old child with a stroller and it wasn't a problem finding a highchair and storage for the stroller while we dine. There was a little mix up with my wife's order for her side dish but our server was quick to respond with a complimentary side of her liking. I wasn't too sure if it was due to high volume or our server but our food took a while to arrive. I noticed that another family under another server was seated right after us, took their orders and their food arrived 20min before ours did. I didn't want to make a stink about it but we felt a little left out. Overall it was a nice first time experience. We would definitely come back.Special Features:
- great place for brunchOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/24/2014Great food, one of the best brunch buffets I've ever been to!Special Features:
- great brunchmtl11Dined on 8/17/2014Nice Sunday brunch, lots of choices. Great service overall. The brunch is from 10am to 3pm, we were there around 1:30pm. My only negative point is that by 1:30pm, croissant and "viennoiseries" were dry and hard.Special Features:
- Perfect steakjason78Dined on 8/15/2014Get a table by the front window and you can people watch the tourists going up and down St. Paul. Across the street from a t-shirt/souvenir shop so it's not a perfect view. Food and service was very good -- steak was cooked perfectly.
- Chicago guy in MontrealBobbypastrami13VIPDined on 8/14/2014The only reason I wouldn't recommend for steak is that Chicago prime steaks are so much better; but this restaurant in Old Montreal is very nice in most other food and decor and service.Special Features:
- Great DealnormDined on 8/11/2014They have an early bird and late bird special that is an excellent deal, especially for being in Old Montreal. The food was perfectly prepared and the server was friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back!Special Features:
- unevenBABSVIPDined on 8/11/2014although my salmon was very good, my daughter's halibut was overcooked and dry. when we asked for tartar sauce (they didn't have) or anything else to deal with it, they brought her a sauce. They didn't offer to take it back and give her a properly cook halibut. I thought they should not have charged us for the sauce.Special Features:
- DownhillTerribleDined on 8/11/2014Ate here 2 years ago and the meal was outstanding. I don't know what happened in 2 years here but all I can say is that cafeteria food was better than this
- first and definitely not the last!RaphaelDined on 8/9/2014I went at this restaurant for my 3 yr relationship anniversary and it was perfect! One of my best experiences in restaurants; its food, ambiance, service and even its architecture makes it a very special place for precious moments.Special Features:

- Great ValuenormDined on 8/8/2014This was second time in a week that we had dinner here. They have an early bird or late night special for $23.00 that provides soup or salad and an entree. We had the rib steak and it was cooked to perfection. Our server, Louis was very friendly and attentive. We look forward to our next trip to Montreal so we can enjoy another meal here. Thank you so much.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice Finish to our VacationeasytravellerDined on 8/7/2014We spent 4 days in Montreal and wanted to have a memorable dinner on our last evening. This location in Old Montreal was perfect, on a corner of a main street where we could watch the activities but still enjoy a very nice meal for dinner. Vieux-Port did not disappoint and we were pleased with the service and food.Special Features:
- Excellent MealnormDined on 8/6/2014We had their table hote menu with a salad and a 12 oz rib steak for $23.00 after 9:30pm. The steak was perfectly cooked with mashed potatoes and green beans. Our server, Yavor, was extremely pleasant and did not rush us even though it was late and they close at 10pm on a week night. He made a good recommendation for some wine to enhance our dinner. The entire experience was wonderful. We will be back when we come back in town.Special Features:
- UnderwhelmedLuvmtlDined on 8/6/2014Had high hopes. The place is beautiful. The ambience lovely. The food....... meh. I had halibut that was very dry. My guest had steak that was rubbery and the lobster overdone and cold. The bill was a shock. Almost $200 for the two of us for a sub par meal. Would not return.
- Feed-backOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/31/2014We came in to celebrate a birthday party. We were impressed by the professional touch of the personnel ! Food was great as well. I would surely recommend your resto to all my friends! Hats off ! Kashila and VicksSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent ResturantSteakloverDined on 7/25/2014Tables are a little to close in the patio. Felt like you were at a group table. A little reluctant when we asked to split our meal. Other than that the service food and location was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- good steak..average drinks.CalifornianDined on 7/22/2014Accommodating.Attentive service. A bit pricey.Steak done properly. Skip the fish.Waiter was very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great find!GreatFinds21Dined on 7/20/2014I personally had a great time. The good came out much quicker than we expected but that is always better than it taking longer than expected. I got the baseball cut and found it fantastic. Another person in our group got the filet mignon and was not as impressed as I was. Overall, a great place for dinner and a fantastic atmosphere!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great foodOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/19/2014Another Old Montreal Restaurant that we loved, not our first time and wont be our last there!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- B flatOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/19/2014Not what I had hoped for. Steak was very thin with lots of grizzle
- irenelslDined on 7/15/2014A reasonably good meal in a typical Old Montreal setting. Centre cut filet mignon seemed a strange shape. Waiter was attentive.Special Features:

- RepeatCustomerDined on 7/13/2014One of the best brunches in Old Montreal. Food was amazing from salads to hot dishes - can't go wrong at Restaurant du Vieux Port!Special Features:
- Open Table saved the dayGuy1000VIPDined on 7/12/2014We were out in old Montreal on a busy Saturday summer evening. Restaurants were packed. I opened the Open Table app, saw the reviews, and booked the table for 10 minutes later. We walked in and were seated at a prime window table. Meanwhile walk-ins were put on a 90 minute wait list. The dinner was great, and the evening was saved. Thank you!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Steak in townrfrappierDined on 7/12/2014For the price Vieux-Port Steakhouse has the best steak that we ever had.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A special treatkidsintowDined on 7/12/2014I take my 2 girls here for dinner every summer after we spend the afternoon wandering the Old Port and streets of Montreal. We always go early and midweek to avoid the supper crowds and take a table on the terrace. The space is intimate and quiet and the chickadees and sparrows always stop by to play. The portions are generous so two orders of NY steak and salmon fill the 3 of us nicely. The sides of rice pilaf and garlic mash potatoes are especially flavourful. The service is formal but very kind and attentive. It is a special occasion for us to go to Vieux Port Steakhouse every summer - it tops the end of a perfect day wandering through Old Montreal.Special Features:
- Fantastic evening!LoveMontrealDined on 7/11/2014My wife & I booked the reservation based on online reviews & menu. What a fantastic evening! The service was topnotch, our food was great. I had a problem with my steak (over cooked, and not by a little), and it was replaced with very little wait and no question whatsoever. Our server was attentive but not over bearing, and the atmosphere was great. If the weather is good, I fully recommend the terrace as it was a beautiful evening and a great setting for a dinner for two!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Meal in 6 monthsNDfoodmistakeDined on 7/5/2014Had steak and half lobster with lots of draught beer. This was the best meal I've had in 6 months, and I just returned from Europe (Berlin, Prague, and Paris)! Alberta beef perfectly cooked (actually sent first one back since it was slightly overcooked) and received new one in about 3 minutes with no issues by waiter. He looked at it and saw that it wasn't pink enough. Great, attentive service. Half lobster even had some liver so I got to enjoy one of my favorite delicacies. When I return to Montreal, this will be my first dinner reservation! Thanks to everyone!Special Features:
- Montreal Jazz Festival WeekendRBMFoodieDined on 7/4/2014This restaurant was a great find on OpenTable. There were 5 dining 2 of which do not eat an protein other than seafood. The fish was very fresh. My portion could have been cooked a little more but it had great flavor. The portions were average. The area where the restaurant is located is perfect for walking and sight seeing.Special Features:
- DisappointingtheatrepatronVIPDined on 7/3/2014We looked forward to our visit but were disappointed. The restaurant seemed to seat non-Canadians in larger groups on the upper floor, and as a family of 5, we were surrounded by very large tables of US families, and a total lack of the intimate/Canadian atmosphere we were seeking. The service was inconsistent - the waitstaff seemed rushed and appeared to simply go through the motions. We had to ask for an extra chair at the round table to be removed, and to ask for water more than once. The waiter said that it wasn't his job and that the girl would be by; she didn't come by and we eventually we had to ask again. The restaurant is so large that it comes across as very impersonal and almost a cruise ship atmosphere. Food was just ok.
- MehJimbo9000Dined on 7/1/2014I have to preface my comments by saying it was Canada Day, so they may have been short-staffed. Steak was excellent, though not the cut I ordered. Excellent ambiance and is located on Rue St. Paul in the middle of the Old Port. Had the Caesar salad, which was small and average. The service was very rushed, although not impolite. I would have ordered the mushroom sauce had our waiter not abruptly left when I ordered the dish. Wine by the carafe was extremely disappointing. I hate to say it, but you might want to order by the bottle so that you can see it opened. Neither my fiancee and I are experts, so this may just be poor quality or a bad bottle, but the Baron de Rothschild certainly tasted like it had been watered down.Special Features:
- Very good restaurantJacomoDined on 6/29/2014We had the seafood platter for two. It was slightly overcooked but otherwise excellentI would recommend this to a friend.
- AmazingYumYumDined on 6/29/2014Took my family of 6 for the Sunday brunch. It was an amazing experience. We have ages 9 to 44 and all enjoyed the selection of goodies that were offered. The service was excellent and everyone was very polite and friendly. The food was very fresh and vibrant and tasted oh so good!!! At first I was abit hesitate to go with a price of 25$ a head, but once we arrived and I saw the array of food I knew it was well worth it. Thank you so much for the most enjoyable experience.Special Features:
- Just, okay!JMaryGVIPDined on 6/24/2014It was disappointing that our steaks weren't cooked as we had instructed. Service, drinks, creme brulee were fine. Overall, pricey for what the overall experience was... We probably wouldn't go again.
- Anniversary..FrankDined on 6/22/2014The stars was aligned that afternoon.. great weather, super location (Old Port) and of course a good restaurant with great service. We had made reservation prior to our arrival for inside dinning but was able to change our sitting to the outside terrasse. Overall it was very good except the lobster tail (fisherman's platter) was minuscule and did not meet expectation. I will go back for sure.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another great Father's Day brunch!AmberSpyglassVIPDined on 6/15/2014We've been to Vieux-Port for the past two Father's days, and I think it was even better this year than last. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal (and we are quite a diverse bunch). I have many food intolerances, but the spread is so varied that there is definitely something for everyone.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Better Last YearFrankieDined on 6/8/2014We went to this restaurant last year for dinner during out stay in Montreal for the Formula 1 Grand Prix and had a great dinner. Food was excellent. This years Grand Prix, not as good. Seems like they made some changes over the year and all 3 of us said the filet lost it's flavor and mine was undercooked. The garlic mashed potatoes were grainy instant like. The vegetable side (asparagus) was average. The service was good and wine selection was good as well. With all the restaurants in Old Montreal area, we will most likely not go back again.
- Skip itBMac1967VIPDined on 6/8/2014Our party of 4 dined on the Sunday of Formula One weekend, a slow night in Montreal. Vieux Port is a tourist trap. Only recommended for diners who have never enjoyed a fine steak in New York, Chicago or Texas. For all others steer clear. The Keg next door is a way better option. Water took 15 minutes and drinks 20. We waited for an ADDITIONAL 20 minutes before our appetizers made it to the table. When our entrees came the ribeye was gristle and not worth the $36. Mashed potatoes were delivered cold etc. The restaurant was 1/3 full but so was the management. Two adjacent tables were complaining and one left after requesting a manager. No "great" restaurant in a major N.American would let this happen. Skip it

Is it possible to use TREX for searching in oracle DB. If it is, are there any tutorials, documentation or how-to guides that describe what should be done.
in short:
It is not possible to use TREX for searching directly in a database like Oracle.
You must have an application which uses TREX as a search and indexing engine like ERP, CRM, Portal, Enterprise Search and so on. So in this case you have to write your own connector. But out-of-the-box it is not possible.
Best regards
let me add to Frank:
The question CANNOT even really be asked on TREX level. TREX does not care for connectivity and has no APIs that are released for project development.
The question CAN be asked on the level of any frameworks that mediate between TREX and frontend applications such as the SAP Portal's Repository Framework or SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search's Data Provider Service (DPS). Both these could be connected to an Oracle or other DB and would then feed a TREX accordingly.
Best, Karsten

As was widely expected, the Federal Trade Commission announced this morning that it has reached a settlement agreement with Google, bringing the commission's antitrust investigations into the search giant to a close. Two different areas of Google's business were being explored: the way it prioritized search results, and the way that Google had sought injunctions against devices that were thought to have infringed upon standards-essential patents from Motorola.
During this afternoon's press conference, FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz stated that Google had agreed to halt its practice of seeking the sales bans, a move that he said "ensures competition continues to work for the benefit of American consumers." Instead, the company will seek to resolve any such disputes through third-party arbitration, a move that the FTC hopes will serve as a "template" for the rest of the industry. As such, Google will be dropping any such legal pursuits from both US federal courts and the International Trade Commission.
As for search results, Google is also agreeing to stop scraping rival services without permission for data that it can include in its own search results. Leibowitz specifically mentioned the allegations that Google had passed off reviews from Yelp as its own, saying that the behavior as alleged would be "particular problematic and harmful to competition because it undermines incentives to innovate." To address the issue, Google will let companies opt out of the service if they don't want to be included. The company is also removing restrictions in the AdWords platform that may have deterred advertisers from using complementary ad services in addition to Google's own.
The 'search bias' investigation was closed in a unanimous vote
Leibowitz said that some competitors had asked that the FTC step in to regulate the very algorithms that Google uses in its search results to compensate for what had been termed "search bias," but the FTC declined to do so. In its investigation, it found that the introduction of tweaks that may have harmed the search ranking of competing online services could be justified as changes that improved Google's search engine itself. As such, the FTC closed its antitrust investigation into the company's alleged search bais in a unanimous vote.
"Google is unquestionably one of America's great companies," Leibowitz said, noting the FTC's belief that today's results will let the search giant move forward to continue focusing on making its products as good as it can for consumers — but "it must do so while competing fairly."
While Google is changing several of its practices, it's hard to see the tweaks as anything more than minor shifts for the company — no doubt more than Google itself would like to give, but far from the sweeping intervention that so many of Mountain View's competitors may have been hoping for.
Update: Unsurprisingly, Yelp wasn't completely satisfied by the settlement. "Today's announcements by the FTC validate a number of the concerns we have raised about Google's dominance in the search market and its anti-competitive behavior," the company writes in a statement to CNET. "The closure of the Commission's investigation into search bias by Google without action, however, represents a missed opportunity to protect innovation in the Internet economy, and the consumers and businesses that rely upon it."

September 14, 2007
By MELISSA DiPANE 6 News Anchor/Reporter
KNOXVILLE (WATE) -- A statewide smoking ban is set to take effect in less than three weeks and Knoxville restaurants and bars are already making some changes.
Beginning on October 1, restaurants and bars can choose to only cater to patrons 21 and over, which means they can allow smoking.
Or the restaurant can serve patrons of all ages and go smoke free.
For two Knoxville businesses, it was an easy decision.
Customers at Sunspot, located at the UT Strip at 1909 Cumberland Avenue, already dine smoke free.
"Our clientele is mixed between those who want a smoke free environment and those who will want to smoke," says Gina Truitt, with Sunspot.
Managers at Sunspot doesn't anticipate any challenge with the change to go smoke free. In fact, they can expand their dining area by opening their bar to the lunch crowd.
Down the street at the Half Barrel Pub & Cafe, at 1829 Cumberland Avenue, owner Joe Smith has decided his establishment will allow smoking. That means everyone who enters has to be 21 or older.
"We think we'll benefit. Most of our customers have to be 21 and up already to come in after 10:00 p.m. so we'll continue that," Smith says.
Although the Half Barrel offers a full menu, Smith says the bar is what they're known for.
"We've tried to market our menu and sell ourselves as an eating establishment. But for whatever reason, people view us more as a drinking establishment," Smith says.
Whether the the smoking law will hurt or help business, it's unavoidable.
Businesses will be responsible for monitoring smoking in their establishments and making sure everyone who enters a smoking business is 21.
The Knox County Health Department will take complaints about any business that doesn't comply.
The Health Department will also hold seminars on how to make the transition and to answer any questions.

Philadelphia Independence sign WPS all-star and former National teamer Lori Chalupny from the Atlanta Beat. Chalupny will be an awesome addition to the midfield and great veteran leadership as she was the captain for Atlanta before coming here. Welcome aboard Lori!

Statement from Highways Agency
The Highways Agency is working with Hampshire Police to fix the road surface of the A34 in Hampshire after a car transporter, which was being towed, came free from a recovery vehicle and crashed through the central reservation.
– Highways Agency Statement
This is a very complex recovery and is expected to be completed during the morning peak period. Once all vehicles are moved off the carriageway, work will get underway to clear up the large amount of diesel and hydraulic fluid which has been spilt across both sides of the A34. Sections of the north and southbound carriageway have been damaged and will need to be resurfaced, and around 100 metres of barrier in the central reservation also needs to be repaired before the road can be safely re-opened to traffic.

Evacuees have begun a long walk toward money that could help them recover from Hurricane Katrina. The Federal Emergency Management Agency is distributing debit cards valued at $2,000 to members of households now living in the Astrodome complex. Thousands of people are filing into a processing center where FEMA staffers are making sure they're registered for assistance. Debra Landry is with J. P. Morgan Chase, which has ATM machines set up to help those on site.
Armed, uniformed Secret Service agents are overseeing the process. A FEMA spokeswoman says there are enough cards to cover the families of theξ7,000 people now in the three shelters at the Astrodome complex. Other evacuees who need the cards will begin receiving theirs tomorrow. FEMA has also made $79 million in direct deposits into the bank accounts of evacuees. That includes more than $12 million for those registered in Texas. The money is considered expedited aid to help families get food, clothing and temporary housing.
The American Red Cross also continued issuing client assistance cards today in Reliant Center. The Red Cross issued 6500 cards yesterday. Evacuees must be registered with FEMA to determine eligibility for assistance.
FEMA Director Mike Brown says he doesn't know why he's been removed from onsite command of Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. He tells the Associated Press the decision was made by Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff. Brown also denies charges he padded his resume. He says the White House and FEMA made mistakes in describing two of his past jobs. Brown says the story's not about him. Rather it's about the worst disaster in the country's history. He says he's going home to Washington where he'll walk his dog, hug his wife, maybe get a good Mexican meal, a stiff margarita and a full night's sleep. Then he says he plans to go back to FEMA and continue to help the hurricane victims.
Labor Secretary Elaine Chao has approved funding to create more than 47,000 temporary jobs for dislocated workers to provide clean-up and recovery. Traveling in Texas and Louisiana today, including here in Houston, she's hailing the outpouring of compassion and effort nationwide, saying "it is a wonderful statement about who we are as Americans.''
The American International Automobile Dealers Association has launched a Web site called Emergency Relief Auto Jobs to help provide displaced automotive personnel with a temporary job. The site will match retail auto salespeople, technicians and related personnel displaced by the hurricane with temporary job openings at dealerships around the country.
Almost 20 employers participated in a job fair at the Dallas Convention Center this week, and job fairs are set for Friday in San Antonio and Monday in Austin. Job seekers are encouraged to log on to a Web site where currently over 46,000 positions are available statewide. The Greater Houston Partnership's Jeff Mosely says a job fair in Houston is also in the works.
Other recruiting events are coming from the disaster zone, in locations where evacuees are now residing. Goodwill Industries International spokeswoman Christine Bragale says many attending the fairs are eager to work. She says "they need money to get the basics like food and water, and a place to live.''
Federal emergency officials have hired some of the nation's largest construction and engineering companies. The Federal Emergency Management Agency wants the companies to provide emergency housing for people displaced by Hurricane Katrina. FEMA also says it's formed a new Housing Area Command with the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Army Corps of Engineers and the American Red Cross. The engineering and construction company Shaw Group says it's received a FEMA contract worth up to $100 million. Shaw will handle design, construction, transportation and utilities for the housing construction program, with no limits on quantity. It'll also provide on-demand services for displaced residents, including registering them at emergency shelters in Texas and other areas. FEMA says more than a million people have had to leave their homes because of the storm. It also says 163,000 of those hurricane survivors are now staying in shelters. Fluor Corporation of Aliso Viejo, California will head operations for the command. Bechtel National of San Francisco is now on the scene in Gulf states to provide emergency housing. CH2M Hill of Denver will be working on providing housing in Alabama. Dewberry Technologies of Fairfax, Virginia will provide planning and reporting support. Tennessee-based Clayton Homes is the country's largest manufactured housing company and has operations in Waco. Clayton officials on Sunday got an order from FEMA to ship 1,800 homes to a staging area outside Texarkana.
A top official says the United Nations will get more involved in Hurricane Katrina relief effort. Jan Egeland is the UN's Undersecretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs. He expects more international relief flights to arrive in the U. S. as America asks for more help. Small UN teams already are helping coordinate international aid. Teams in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Denton, Texas are offering expert advice in several areas, including water and sanitation, health coordination and child protection. Egeland says "the whole world has been really shaken'' by images of the damage and suffering.
A Mexican army unit spent the night camped on a field at San Antonio's former Kelly Air Force Base--just miles from the Alamo. They began providing aid this morning to Hurricane Katrina survivors sheltered at the former base--now called Kelly USA. The nearly 200 soldiers are part of a historic military convoy. They received a hero's welcome as they traveled from Laredo to San Antonio in the first Mexican military presence on U. S. soil since 1846. San Antonio residents greeted the troops with cheers, honking car horns and signs proclaiming "bienvenidos''--or welcome. Dignitaries from Mexico and the United States earlier greeted the soldiers at the Laredo border crossing, but the arrival in San Antonio created more fanfare. The U. S. census says that of the city's 1.2 million residents, about 500,000 identify themselves as of Mexican descent. The Mexican government plans another 12-vehicle aid convoy for this week and sent a Mexican navy ship toward the Mississippi coast with rescue vehicles and helicopters.
The U. S. is getting some hurricane relief aid from its old adversary, Vietnam. The communist country is pledging $100,000 to help victims of the Gulf Coast storm, including Vietnamese-Americans who fled the war 30 years ago. North and South Vietnam re-unifed after the communist government seized the southern capital, Saigon, in April 1975. In recent years, it's been urging overseas Vietnamese to come home.
International Red Cross officials are putting a price tag on their initial relief efforts from Hurricane Katrina. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies says it will need about $1 billion for the first phase of those efforts. The American Red Cross, which is focusing its efforts on helping Katrina evacuees, has already received almost half that amount. An international spokeswoman says the main work is focused outside New Orleans, as part of an effort to encourage people to leave. But she says the Red Cross will probably enter New Orleans itself once the reconstruction process has progressed and flooding has subsided. The American Red Cross is also installing computers in its shelter so evacuees can search for lost family members. By Wednesday, 118,000 people had registered on an international web site.
AAA Texas says it sees signs that retail gasoline prices are stabilizing in Texas after skyrocketing in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The auto club's weekly Texas retail gas price survey today found regular self-serve averaging $2.94 per gallon. That's up over 31 cents from the week before and $1.02 a gallon higher than last year's average. Houston's prices are up more than 32 cents to $2.95 per gallon. AAA Texas spokeswoman Rose Rougeau says the price spike resulted from several refinery and oil pipeline shutdowns because of the hurricane. However, she says the auto club has seen prices begin to level out in many Texas markets during the last two days. The national average for regular self-serve gasoline at the pump is $3.03 per gallon. That's up 35 cents.
The Base Closure Commission has urged the Navy to move some of its jet training exercises--possibly to Kingsville. The Base Closure and Realignment Commission has given President Bush its final recommendations, which were made public today. The panel says residential and commercial encroachment is likely to continue on Naval Station Oceana in Virginia. The commission suggested the Navy move certain jet training exercises to bases with less encroachment--such as Naval Air Station Kingsville. Congressman Solomon Ortiz has urged Bush to ask the commission to reconsider closing Naval Station Ingleside in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and slow response to victims. BRAC members voted to realign Red River Army Depot in Texarkana and the Lone Star Ammunition Plant. The Commission voted to close Brooks City Base in San Antonio and Naval Station Ingleside.
Letters will be written by U. S. District Court Judge Sim Lake to the lawyers of 38 key witnesses who former Enron executives Ken Lay, Jeff Skilling and Rick Causey complain will not aid in their defense. The Houston Chronicle says Judge Lake won't require that cooperating witnesses for the prosecution talk to the defendants, but he will assure that the government will not retaliate should the witnesses choose to speak to defense attorneys.
BP Texas City refinery managers last May decided to keep a unit with eroding pipes running just two months after a blast at another unit killed 15 people, according to an internal e-mail obtained by the Houston Chronicle. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration confirms it is investigating the recent operations of the refinery's ltraformer #4 unit.
Continental Airlines said today it expects to save about $300 million this year from pay and benefit reductions. The Houston-based airline revealed its expectations in an update for investors filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Continental says it expects to save about $418 million a year when the cuts are fully implemented. The airline says that despite continued improvement in revenue trends, it still expects to post a "significant loss'' for 2005. That's due to record high fuel prices. Continental says Boeing has agreed to provide backstop financing for the purchase of some airplanes. Continental recently announced an order for two new Boeing 777-200-E-R wide-body aircraft to support its international expansion. The aircraft are scheduled for delivery in the first quarter of 2007.
The new Texas Telecommunications Law is the focus of a court fight. The lawsuit by the Texas Cable and Telecommunications Association challenges the measure signed earlier this week by Governor Rick Perry. The legislation allows phone companies to offer enhanced TC services throughout Texas. The suit also alleges the state law violates the Federal Communications Act and a ban on exclusive franchises. Perry has said the measure will spark new technology investments and create greater competition for video, cable and telecommunications services.
Texas Instruments has raised its third-quarter profit outlook, citing stronger demand for semiconductor products. There had been a glut in those products earlier this year. The news late yesterday sent TI share prices higher today. TI says it expects quarterly revenue of $3.48 billion to $3.62 billion. That's up from a previous anticipated range of $3.29 billion to $3.56 billion.
Baker Hughes in Houston says the number of rigs actively exploring for oil and natural gas in the U. S. decreased by six this week--to reach 1,441. One year ago the rig count was 1,240. Texas gained nine rigs this week.

ISRAEL. - Backyard gardeners, here's a challenge. An Israeli man thinks he may have grown the world's longest cucumber and he wasn't even trying.
Seventy-year-old Itzak Yazdenpana was picking cucumbers when he uncovered this one 46.5 inches long.
The current Guinness record is 36.1 inches, grown by a man in England, so he may have a run at the record.

School is just a week away for Dougherty County students and this year, every student will get free lunches.
The school system approved the Community Eligibility Option. That's a federal program that's part of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. Because the system has such a high number of students eligible for free or reduced-price meals. It qualifies for this program that will provide breakfast and lunch at no charge to all students.
"That's what we want to do is making sure we're being good stewards and we're upholding our part of the bargain and making sure we got healthy kids in Dougherty County," said Blaine Allen, the School Nutrition Interim Director.
This program will be in place for the next four years. After that, the system can re-apply. Georgia is one of 11 states selected to pilot this program.

The Warriors have provided us with some of the most exciting basketball we have seen in a long time here in the Bay....I have maybe 10-12 memories that stick in my head...please post any other ones you can remember..
THE TRADE - Who can forget the horrid times we suffered watching Dunmurphy? It seems like such a long time ago we were all talking about possible ways to dump ONE of them...and somehow, we got rid of both of them, and in return...get Stephen Jackson and Harrington.
THE HEROICS - Game winners anybody? Al Harrington with a couple seconds left against Philly AT Philly....Baron Davis over Yao Ming at the buzzer? And who can forget Monta Ellis coming through against the Nets?
THE GAME - Washington...Gilbert fouled with no time left...Nelson gets a technical foul...all 3 free throws get sinked...Warriors lose by 1...end of story....
THE TALK - Following that very same road trip...Nelson had given up on the Warriors, saying he THOUGHT we were a playoff team..but he was wrong...this talk to his team and media lead to one event...
THE SPARK - Following that tough Washington loss...the Warriors traveled to Detroit the VERY NEXT DAY and handled buisness in a 111-93 lobsided win, which sparked what went on to be..
THE TEAR - Including the win over Detroit on the road...the Warriors finished the season going 16-5 and jumped right into the playoffs inlcuding a game they won against the Portland Trailblazers on the last day of the season to clinch the 8th seed in the Western Conference Playoffs while thousands of Warrior faithful watched live on the big screen at the Oracle. The tear was NOT easy...going into the so called TEAR...the Warriors faced the toughest schedule remaining in the NBA including battles against San Antonio, Dallas, Pheonix, Denver, Detroit, Utah, Houston and the Lakers.
THE PLAYOFFS -The Warriors stormed into the playoffs going 8-1 in April heading into the playoffs...NOBODY wanted to face the Warriors...this was even more obvious the minute the Mavs faced the Warriors in the playoffs. Every Stephen Jackson 3...every Baron Davis circus shot and drive to the basket...every half court last second shot to end a quarter that went in, seemed to make the Warriors look more like a team of destiny. The Dallas Mavericks, nor the nation was prepared for what was about to happen in the Oracle...the loudest place the NBA has seen in years. Charles Barkley? What can we say about him? He just added to what was a crazy season....
THE DUNK - Its sad that the last thing I have to say on this post is about one play that will go down in Warrior history as the most exciting thing we have ever seen...but, unfortunately the playoffs ended for the Warriors in a bad way...but nobody will ever forget the facial Baron Davis gave AK-47. It was instantly a poster and t-shirt in every Bay Area city, and will be a memory that none of us forget.
Hopefully next season we pick up a big man to help us get some boards...we ARE one piece away and maybe one or 2 role players who can actually get some minutes to solve our fatigue issues...but besides that...I think its safe to say that Opening Night will be sold out in 08'.

What you say is important, but don't underestimate how you say it as well.
It doesn't matter if you know your subject inside out and can quote every fact and figure. If the goal is to engage people, provide them with knowledge and ensure they remember it, then simply telling them is insufficient. In fact, even if you are not providing key data and only speaking to them in quite broad terms, it is still not enough to just talk.
You have to think about your audience, think about your topic and then think about your delivery. If the message is sombre or sad, then adjust your voice and mannerisms accordingly, if the message is upbeat and happy, then raise your game to match the theme with your enthusiasm and passion.
Consider what you want to provide your audience with and what you want them to take away from the presentation or speech. That doesn't just mean raw data – how do you want them to feel?

I consider myself fortunate to live in a very pleasant part of the UK and I am always very pleased when visitors to Bristol express how much they like the city. That is not to say that it is perfect – there are some quite ugly bits, but that all adds to the charm and the authenticity – a few scars can add character.
Here are 10 places to see while you are here and they are not in any particular order (click on the links to find out more). Would you include any others?
Clifton Suspension Bridge – an iconic symbol of the city and for me best seen at night from the Cumberland Basin
St Nicholas Market – a few minutes from the school and a great place to browse in
Park Street - recently nominated as Britain's hippest street and stunning views from this hilly thoroughfare of boutiques and eateries
Gloucester Road – memories of the days when supermarkets and large chains didn't dominate the retail landscape. It has the largest number of independent traders on any one street in the UK and a place where you can still find family businesses like the toy shop, the fishmongers and the local baker.
Stokes Croft - The Peoples Republic of Stokes Croft, the Bear Pit, Turbo Island – pure class and an area that really couldn't care less if you like it or not
Cabot Circus – ultramodern shopping and not to everyone's taste, but so much better than the soulless shopping arcades of the 1970's
Blaise Hamlet – Bristol's answer to The Shire
Arnos Vale Cemetery – an atmospheric Victorian graveyard (with a cafe)
Christmas Steps - dating back to the 1600's and now a vibrant arts quarter
Snuff Mills – a riverside walk with the chance to spot otters and kingfishers (I never have)

Citrus County deputies say a local store owner was recorded selling synthetic marijuana
CITRUS COUNTY, Fla - A Hernando store owner is accused of selling synthetic marijuana at her discount tobacco store.
Marie Mako, 54, of 221 W. Quincy Street, Hernando, is charged with selling a controlled substance, a felony.
Citrus County deputies say received a tip that narcotic deals were being conducted at Discount Tobacco located off North Florida Avenue in Hernando.
An arrest report states an undercover officer, outfitted with a recording device, reportedly bought a package of synthetic marijuana and rolling papers from Mako for $30.
Under Florida law, synthetic marijuana is a controlled substance and illegal to sell.
The transaction took place on June 12.
On Thursday, a search warrant was executed at the store and Mako was arrested.
Mako is being held on $5,000 bond.
