I came across this lovely rose growing alongside a highway next to an abandoned pasture. I often see 'Seven Sisters' and other multifloras growing and blooming up in the trees along roads but never this. Any Ideas? I think it may be a Wichuriana hybrid due to the sprawling/rambling habit. It seems to stay rather close to the ground, sending up 2' canes which end up falling under their weight and sprouting roots. I took some cuttings which should be rooted by now. Is it a named cultivar? Any comments are welcome. |

How lovely! Can you tell us more? Is she thorny, how many leaflets, repeat blooms, etc? |
She has a vicious array of thorns, on the bottoms of leaves as well. 7-9 leaflets. I'll have to find a picture showing the foliage. |

GE Profile ovens with advanced cooking technology have been named the Grand Award winner in the 2002 "Best of What's New" Awards for Home Technology from Popular Science magazine. Each year the editors of Popular Science review thousands of new products and technology developments, then select 100 for distinction as the "Best of What's New." Only 10 are designated as Grand Award winners. This year marks the 15th year of the awards. "The range of products and technologies we consider is huge," said Popular Science editor in chief, Scott Mowbray. "This year we've given awards to a genetically modified 'knockout pig' used in medical research, the GE oven, the new Nissan Z car, and a remarkable new cell-phone-PDA combination. It's this scope of subject that makes this a reader favorite. And there are dozens of products, from digital cameras to flat-screen TVs, that people will buy with confidence because of our awards." "This award simply validates our commitment to technology and innovation as this is the third time in four years we have been honored by Popular Science with a Grand Award in this category," said Jim Campbell, president and CEO of GE Consumer Products. "It also continues GE's long history of cooking leadership. As cooking leaders, we take seriously our responsibility to continue to bring the highest level of innovation to the marketplace." The GE Profile ovens combine thermal, convection, and metal-safe microwave energies/ This advanced cooking technology is designed to deliver excellent performance customized for any type of food. Easy-to-use controls automatically convert users' traditional recipes. A user simply enters a food type, time, and temperature. Once the oven is set, it automatically applies the right combination of energies to optimize cooking performance. Preliminary testing shows speed modes allow foods to cook much faster. GE says its test show that the oven can: speed roast a turkey in half the time speed bake breads in a third of the time cook side dishes in a quarter of the time speed cook potatoes five times faster than in a traditional oven "But cooking foods quickly was not our only goal," explained Leanne Wilks, general manager for GE Cooking Products. "We developed this oven to use the optimal combination of the best of three cooking methods in an effort to produce the best possible food." The ovens also offer traditional cooking methods: baking, broiling, roasting, and true European convection. Additional modes include defrost, warm, proof, self-clean, and help. The full-size oven can accommodate everything from a large turkey to multiple trays of cookies. Consumers can use the cookware they already own - metal pans, glass baking dishes, and stoneware can be used in the new oven. The Precise Air™ convection system uses an innovative fan that reverses direction for optimal air and heat circulation so there is no need to rotate pans. The GE Profile ovens with advanced cooking technology will be available in a single wall oven, double wall oven, freestanding range, or slide-in range. The ovens are said to be an ideal choice for upgrading existing kitchens because no unique cutout dimensions or electrical supply requirements are needed. The suggested retail price of the GE Profile ovens with advanced cooking technology is: U.S. $2349-$2599 for the single wall oven $3699-$3899 for the double oven $2799-$2999 for the slide-in/freestanding range. These models will be available in the U.S. in September 2003.

Fifty-five percent of holiday shoppers were expected to be in stores and online over Thanksgiving weekend, according to the National Retail Federation's Thanksgiving Weekend Spending Survey, conducted by Prosper Insights & Analytics.
American Express is debuting Small Business Saturday Night this year—its fifth year running Small Business Saturday. The new platform is set to build on the success of the national Small Business Saturday initiative and encourages consumers to support independently owned shops and restaurants after the sun goes down on Nov. 29.
More than 2,000 communities are committing to rally their neighborhoods to celebrate Small Business Saturday this holiday season.
Consumers aren't afraid to spend on Valentine's Day this year. Spending is expected to reach $37 billion, as 74% of consumers intend to spend an average $213, according to the latest American Express Spending & Saving Tracker.
With the holiday season rapidly approaching, more small business owners—including those in the beauty industry—are making Small Business Saturday an integral factor in their sales plans.
Small Business Saturday falls between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and serves as the traditional kickoff to the holiday-shopping season for independent retailers and restaurateurs. The day was created in response to small business owners' most pressing need: more customers.

Las Vegas to Grand canyon. Couple of questions?
So we are toying with the idea of doing the family vacation/graduation celebration at the Grand Canyon this year. We've never been and I've heard it was gorgeous.
The plan so far is to fly into Vegas, pick up car rental drive to GC. stay at GC for 2 full days drive back to Vegas and then spend 4 days in Vegas. Anyone ever drive from Vegas to GC? How long is the drive? I've heard answers from 3 hours to 5 hours.. Where did you stay once at the GC. Are there any local towns that you pass through on your drive? or does everyone try and stay in the park itself? Thanks a bunch. ps. I know there is a West forum but it is very slow.

It depends on what part of the Canyon you want to go to. It took my wife and I 4 hrs just to go from Vegas to Kingman AZ which is at the extreme west end of the canyon. To get to the most popular area, the South Rim plan on another 2 - 4 hrs after that.
Most people camp in the park. The only hotel I know of is the El Tovar at the South Rim. Worth seeing, but pricey. There are other motels outside the park. One thing. Because everything, including water, has to be trucked in, prices will be much higher than you would see elsewhere. We stopped at a McDonalds just outside the park entrance and found Big Macs for over $8, and that was in the 90's. Maybe they've come back to earth by now. The Canyon is still a place worth seeing though and I wish we could go back. Enjoy. |

I can't help you with the trip from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon, but I did go to the Grand Canyon with my family a few years ago.
First -- there are 7 hotels/lodges with in the South Rim of the Grand Canyon and the prices will vary from under $100 to $350. Part depends on the hotel's decor and some on it's location (right on the rim or a short walk). There is also lodging in Tusayan which is only 7 miles from the park entrance. I would STRONGLY suggest that you stay in the park, if possible. The quiet of the evening and the morning makes it so worthwhile -- you want to be able to experience the Grand Canyon, not visit it. Unless your family is very into hiking I would think two nights would do you. The hotels fill up quickly so if you set a date grab a room ASAP. Below is the website on lodging: http://www.grandcanyonlodges.com/Lod...rview-411.html Second: The Grand Canyon had wonderful ranger led programs (free) and lots of good info can be found at the National Park website. http://www.nps.gov/grca/index.htm Third: While Dis people will be helpful, I do my best travel research at Tripadvisor. Below is the link for the Grand Canyon http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowForum...k_Arizona.html They will also have information if you wish to make this a "circle trip" and go back to Las Vegas via the North side of the Grand Canyon and maybe see Glen Canyon, Zion or Bryce National Parks. Also, be very careful on your reading about what is the Grand Canyon. There is the Indian reservation which has built the glass walkway over the far west end of the Grand Canyon (much closer to Las Vegas) While technically it is the GC, they charge admission and the experience isn't the same as being where the Canyon is "grander". But I am sure it is a nice way to see it if one couldn't go all the way to the National Park. I am sure you will have a wonderful time - you will get the western bug! The west is such a beautiful part of the country. We are going this summer but will be hitting southern Utah and Colorado for two weeks. Last time we went we did Page/Glen Canyon, Grand Canyon, and Sedona in Arizona.

LV to GCNP is close to 300 miles. Most of it high speed roads (except leaving Las Vegas and close to GCNP.
You might want to stay in/near LV the first night . . . long plane ride, long drive. If at all possible stay in the park for the reasons noted by pp. Don't expect a lot of amenities at most of the-in park lodgings. By the way, it's a slow haul through the park entrance to the day visitor parking area.

Although it's a little out of the way, you might want to consider a quick stopover in Oatman, AZ on your way to/from the GC. It is SUCH a cute little "western" town...and the wild burros who roam the city are awesome! So cute and friendly!
We stayed at a really nice hotel in Flagstaff when we visited the GC...it was about a 90 minute drive, but it didn't bother us...the drive went quickly. |

We did this a couple years ago, and it was great. You have to decide which "Grand Canyon" you want to visit. Yes, of course, it's all the same canyon, but the tourist developments can be broken down into a couple groups:
National Park, South Rim: This is the most popular location, and people often don't realize it's not the only option. It's very touristy: Chain hotels and so forth outside the park. During the summer months you cannot drive your car inside the park -- instead, you must ride their bus; it's that crowded. The park offers five (five?) hotels and lots of restaurants -- you'll be closer to civilization in the South Rim. In addition to hiking, you can ride mules or take part in ranger programs. Do not expect to see wildlife. Unless you plan serious hiking, two full days here is just right. You also have the option of staying in Williams (Williams?) and riding the train into the canyon area. National Park, North Rim: This is the less visited area, but it's closer to Las Vegas. It's not "built up" at all -- you'd have to drive probably 20 miles to get to a restaurant (the Grand Canyon Lodge does have one nice restaurant one deli/pizza place, and a bar). The views are wonderful, and it's about 10 degrees cooler than the South Rim. The national park rents cabins that look like they're made from Lincoln Logs, while mule-ear deer and chipmunks run around everywhere. Hiking, mules, ranger programs; also The Cookout Experience is worth an evening of your time. Two full days here is just right, and you should bring sandwich makings and lots of water/sodas. This rim is closed in winter. Realistically, if you don't already have reservations, you're probably not going to get a room/cabin in the national park for this summer. If you can get reservations inside the park, that's where you want to be. Your accomodations will be rustic and a little expensive, but you're paying for the location. You'll be able to spend more time in the canyon and will enjoy it more if you stay right in the action. For the Grand Canyon, outside the park is really a distant second-choice. The Western Rim is owned by the Havasupai Indian tribe. They have few hotels, etc. for tourists in the area, but they do have the very expensive glass overwalk. If you're in this area, another option is to hike down into the canyon -- all the way to the bottom -- where you can camp or stay in their hotel. There's a waterfall where you can swim. You can either hike out, or -- if your pockets are very deep -- you can helecoptor out. We stopped at Zion National Park on the way to the Grand Canyon. It was also a wonderful place; I would've liked to stay there longer. And after the Grand Canyon we continued on to Page, AZ, where we saw Glenn Dam (2nd largest dam; 1st biggest couldn't have been much more boring) and Antelope Canyon, which was wonderful -- absolutely other-worldly. Then we went on to Cortez, AZ to see Mesa Verde National Park, which I personally enjoyed more than anything else we did in that area. |

The tips on the 4 parks along the rim, is so helpful, thank you!
Does anyone know if instead of doing a loop, you could start in Arizona, and end in Vegas? Fly out of different airports? I know there is an extra charge for returning the car to a different location, but i might do it in order to save time. Any thoughts? Sorry in advance for highjacking thread.....

Didn't see this thread the first time around.
First, yes there are different areas of the park. When you talk of "Grand Canyon", most people take that to mean the South Rim. That's where most of the tourist stuff is. The North Rim also makes a spectacular visit, but has much, much fewer services. And "West Rim", actually the Supai reservation, is not as popular nor as spectacular. The canyon is nowhere near as wide nor as deep at that section. At the South Rim, there's limited lodging within the park itself, and yes, you won't get reservations for any time this year at this point. The official lodging is mostly the El Tovar Lodge and the Bright Angel Lodge. However, the town of Tusayan AZ has grown up right, I mean right, outside the park boundary. It's only a couple of miles from there to the rim, and there's the usual array of motel chains right there. You'll still have a difficult time getting reservations for any of them during peak season, but it's worth a shot. You really should check out the NPS pages, particularly http://www.nps.gov/grca/planyourvisit/lodging.htm HTH, Bob |

For what it's worth, Ive done the same trip that you're proposing at least 3 times. Las Vegas to the town of Williams will run you about 4 hours (give or take 30 mins). From Williams it's roughly an hour (55 mile) to the South Rim entrance.
As for accomodations, Ive stayed at Maswik Lodge more often than not. Book through the National Parks page that Grand Bob recommended in the previous post. If possible STAY INSIDE the park. (It's a bit like staying in Vegas. Try and stay on the strip if you possibly can). Staying in Tusayan is fine, but if you really want to get sunrise over the Canyon then you're doing yourself a disservice by having to drive in. We've also stayed at the Mather campground. For those who either tent or RV it, then it's a great spot. As to the other parts of the Canyon......save your time and money and dont bother with the Skywalk at the West part of the canyon. And for the extra effort to get to the North Rim, the view is (IMO) not a patch on the view from the South. Enjoy your trip!!

Just curious about the parking at the Grand Canyon. A PP claimed that you could not drive in the park in the summer and had to use the shuttle bus. Is this true?
We went to the Grand Canyon in August of 2007 and this was surely NOT the case then. We drove into the park at 6:00 AM and parked at the many look-outs to take in the view. We also parked in the parking lot at Mather (sp.?) Point with no problems at all. Its true when we drove out of the park in the mid afternoon, parking looked scarce if not improssible. However, there is a BIG differance to parking being scarce to not being allowed to drive your car in the park and having to use a shuttle. We visited Zion the same summer and at that park we were not able to drive in with our car. We parked at the visitor center and caught the shuttle bus from there. There was a BIG differance between Zion and the GC as far as being allowed to drive in the park and I wonder if that has really changed, as the poster claimed. Thanks for any info, we are hoping to get back out there, and I am wondering if we need to chance our touring stratergy,

What type of clothes do you pack for a late June Grand Canyon trip? Obviously we'll pack a lot of t-shirts and shorts. However, does it get cool enough in the evenings to need jeans?

[KB] Fred, your old Persian acquaintance is a sharp observer on global
Velayati: US is sending mixed signals
On May 16, Iran TV Channel two carried an interview with the Supreme
Leader's Senior Advisor for International Affairs Ali Akbar Velayati:
"[Presenter] Dr Velayati, welcome to our programme.
"[Velayati] Thank you very much.
"[Presenter] Dr Velayati. In the recent days the first issue which comes
to mind when we think about negotiations with America is the issue of
Iraq. As you know last year the issue of talks with America over Iraq was
raised but had no results. This year the issue has been brought up again
and Iran has agreed to hold talks. My question is: What has happened
during this time that this time America has officially asked to hold
negotiations with Iran.
"[Velayati] In the name of God. Greetings to you and your dear viewers! I
would like to thank you and your respected colleagues for organizing this
"[Presenter] You are welcome.
"[Velayati] Yes, as you mentioned, last year the Americans made a request
for talks with Iran but following Iran's positive response agreeing to
hold conditional negotiations with America they acted in a manner that in
fact contradicted their initial position. I mean one could witness some
sort of confusion in their behaviour. Although they were somehow
interested in having the support of Iran for helping them resolve their
problems in Iraq, they were not ready to give up their previous claims
about Iraq. We could see certain contradictions in the comments made by
the American officials at that time. The person who was the US ambassador
at that time and is now their UN envoy.
"[Presenter] Mr Khalilzad.
"[Velayati] Yes. At that time he was trying to somehow prove his loyalty
to the American administrations by making harsh comments and taking
illogical views. If you remember at that time he was also making comments
and taking steps which were contradictory to the Americans initial
"[Velayati continues] Naturally with the contradictory approach that they
were pursuing, it was natural for Iran to react calmly and rationally. In
practice Iran did not accept to hold talks with the Americans until they
changed their behaviour and altered their attitude in asking Iran to hold
talks with them over Iraq. This time, since a long time ago, the Americans
sent messages in various manners to have negotiations with Iran but we
insisted that the request must be made through official channels. This has
now been done. But most propaganda on the sidelines of Sharm al-Shaykh
meeting was made by the Americans through western media. The propaganda
which was being made by the Americans and the foreign media was
practically affecting the Sharm al-Shaykh meeting in a way that the main
headline of the media was about Iran-America future talks.
"This was not provoked by Iran but the Americans fuelled the issue. And
various officials at, before, during and on the side lines of the meeting
were conveying the impression to the public that some exchanges were made
during the Sharm al-Shaykh meeting. Some brief talks were of course made
on the side lines of the meeting and upon the request of the Americans an
approximate date for the negotiations were set. This would have not
happened without the formal request by the Americans. Following this
request the foreign media and various American officials confirmed it and
therefore this time the negotiations are being materialized.
"[Presenter] Mr Velayati, in view of the fact that the Americans have
officially requested to hold talks with Iran and, as you said, they have
repeatedly asked for it, does this mean that now we have more influence in
Iraq and are more powerful [in the region] and America is weaker now? Or
does this mean that America's move is the result of the Baker-Hamilton
report and America's decision is just a negotiating gesture and they are
not very serious about it.
"[Velayati] No, their request is not just a political gesture. The main
reason is that America is having more problems this year compared to the
previous year. Their problems are increasing on a daily basis. Naturally
they are looking for a way to end the Iraqi crisis gracefully with fewer
casualties and less adverse effects than what they envisage at the moment.
Therefore they are resorting to any measures, including asking Iran's help
on the matter. Of course, Iran does not intend to provide circumstances
whereby the occupiers can end their occupation gracefully nor do we
approve what the Americans did in Iraq. We should be careful not to act in
a way whereby it is understood that the Americans have asked Iran to help
them come out of the quagmire of Iraq. This is not the case. The Iraqi
government and good allies of the Islamic Republic who are in various
posts in the Iraqi administration, including the people who have spiritual
influence in Iraq and those who have direct responsibilities in the Iraqi
government asked us last year to help them end the Iraqi crisis and the
occupation and reduce their problems. They asked us to agree with
America's request and to hold negotiations with them.
"[Presenter] Therefore there is no contradiction or paradox on the issue?
On the one hand we claim that America is stuck in the quagmire of Iraq and
we actually don't mind if they are stuck even further. On the other hand
we want to negotiate with them. This shows a contradiction in our
behaviour, doesn't it?
"[Velayati] It is definitely not the case. As you said if the backgrounds
of the case and the circumstances are not explained it may be implied that
we have a spiritual and religious obligation to save the Americans solve
their problems, problems which they created for themselves. This is not
the case. The Islamic Republic of Iran is not obliged to take this
responsibility. We need to help our Iraqi brothers and as the Supreme
Leader said sympathize with them and share their problems. The Americans
must know that the Islamic Republic of Iran is not indifferent to the
faith of the Iraqi people. Our friends, who have been elected with the
majority of votes from the people of Iraq, have formed a legitimate
government in Iraq after years of struggle and now the officials of this
government are in power. Since they took over, they have been running the
country, which has been made insecure by the Americans, with much anguish.
If they think that they can put another Saddam Husayn in Iraq, and with
the collaboration of some of the conspirators of the region change Iraq's
government against the will of the people of Iraq, then they should know
that the Islamic Republic of Iran will not remain indifferent to this
"[Presenter] Do you not think that when the Islamic Republic of Iran
announces that the objective of the negotiations is to remind the
occupiers of their duties and responsibilities in restoring security in
Iraq, it is somehow deciding on the agenda before the negotiations start?
"[Velayati] The Americans mention certain irrelevant words in their
rhetoric, for example they say: We want to negotiate with Iranians to
persuade them not to help terrorists. Every time they mention such things
and imply cooperation with terrorists who have attacked the most sacred
Shi'i sites, they inflict a wound on the emotions and feelings of all the
Shi'is as well as the Sunnis in the world because the Sunni's are not
indifferent to Shi'i imams. The attacks and insults by a group of
mercenary bandits on the holy sites in Iraq and the harm inflicted on
innocent Shi'i and Sunni people are the result of the ominous presence of
America in Iraq. We hear from overt and covert sources that the Americans
are somehow involved with the terrorists and hold negotiations with them
either with or without the presence of mediators.
"The Americans, who before coming to the negotiating table blamed others
including Iran for their failures to justify their actions, which were in
contrast to their previous claims of bringing democracy security and
economic progress to Iraq, now want to negotiate with Iran. To divert
attention from their contradictory behaviour, they say things that are in
a way setting the agenda for negotiations before the talks begin. Because
they behave in such a way, it is necessary for Iran to state its stance
and principles and stress that its decision to participate in the
negotiations in taken from a point of strength and based on a request from
the Americans.
"[Presenter] Mr Velayati, the Americans' stance has become very
incomprehensible. It is interesting that a while ago after the resolutions
were issued, it seemed that Iran was cornered. However, now they keep
saying that they are prepared to negotiate. What has happened to make
America insistent on holding talks with Iran?
"[Velayati] The current American government has been criticized by the
Democrats and even some Republicans as being a war mongering government
that jeopardizes America's interest with it war mongering attitude around
the world, particularly in the Middle East.
"[Presenter] But this is nothing new.
"[Velayati] Correct. However, the American casualties in Iraq are on the
increase with every passing day. Mr Bush's request for more troops which
was opposed by the congress was vetoed by himself. The main argument of
the anti-war groups is that the government should abandon its war
mongering behaviour and resolve the situation through peaceful methods
including negotiations and put an end to this calamity. As you said the
Baker-Hamilton Report also advised this. Not because it was feeling sorry
for the Iraqi people but because it saw that more American soldiers were
being killed than before. One of their objectives behind the vast
propaganda they started about negotiations is that they want to prove to
the US public opinion and their critics that if they are trying to achieve
their goals through military means at the same time they do not reject the
alternative of political negotiations. And considering that from amongst
the regional countries Iran has the most influence, they will negotiate
with Iran so that they will be able to use its influence in Iraq to
resolve the Iraqi issue whilst maintaining their military occupation and
political negotiations and save the American government from the dead end
it is facing.
"[Presenter] From another aspect it can be said that the image they have
presented of Iran is that Tehran is interfering in Iraq and creating
tension. As a result, they have to negotiate with Iran because it is the
main source of tension and they have to resolve this issue. This
interpretation may also be made.
"[Velayati] Without a doubt, their propaganda has various aspects. This
means that they don't mention the requests they have made in writing about
face to face negotiations in their propaganda. They demonstrate arrogance,
greed in their propaganda and in truth they want to achieve some of the
goals you mentioned. This means that their propaganda is in line with
their various goals. On the one hand they talk about negotiations and on
the other they say that Iran has created tension there. On the one hand
Mrs Rice, the US secretary of state who many times has said that they want
to negotiate with Iran, asks the US Congress to increase the money it has
allocated to helping anti-revolutionaries and on the other Mr Dick Chaney,
the US vice president, makes threatening and aggressive remarks against
Iran. When one sees these contradictory approaches it can be said that
they are trying to exploit the situation comprehensively. They introduce
Iran as a country which creates tension in the region but at the same time
they want to use Iran's help.
"[Presenter] Mr Velayati, the supreme leader has emphasized that the talks
with America is over the occupiers' responsibilities in Iraq, and that
Iraq itself is not America's business. And the Americans also repeatedly
say that the talks with Iran will be merely over Iraq. Can the talks with
America over Iraq be a preface to talks between Iran and US over other
issues, or not? Please give an explicit answer.
"[Velayati] If Iran decides to hold talks it does not need any excuses,
and does not need to complicate its path in order to open a way to
negotiations over other issues. This is not a complicated issue. Different
mediators from countries in the region, some international associations,
those who negotiate with us on the nuclear issue or even some lobbies
inside America have not only suggested to Iran, but have also encouraged
us to talk with the Americans if we want our problems be solved. If Iran
decides to talk with America over different issues it does not need any
excuses. The opposite side even encourages Iran by giving promises. But
until America holds on to its previous position against Iran's interests,
and against issues that are very important and sensitive for Iran.
Regarding Lebanon, Iran position is to support interest of Lebanese, and
their wish to able to defend their land and rights. Iran pays special
attention to this. Iran cannot keep quite when Israel attacks Lebanese
with support of America. Iran cannot keep quite while the Americans do
what ever they like in Palestine. Iran cannot keep silent while the
Americans do as they wish in the Persian Gulf, in central Asia, in the
Caspian see, in Caucasia or Afghanistan. If the Americans continue their
previous policy, which directly confronts our national interests - the
most important of which is the nuclear programme. More than other
countries, America is trying and has always tried to prevent Iran from
enjoying its nuclear rights. They are the standard bearer both in IAEA and
in the Security Council. They are the standard bearer of passing
resolutions against Iran. This is their policy regarding our nuclear
programme. They follow the same policy regarding sanctions and creating
obstacles for oil and gas and other industrial companies who want to
invest in Iran. The Americans are the standard bearers of every obstacle
that Iran faces in the international community.
"While America holds its hostile position, Iran has no intention in
current situation, to negotiate over issues that Americans have already
declared their position on, and do not wish to withdraw from them. Talks
will be useful only when it takes place between two counties in equal
positions, without any preconditions, claims, rudeness or negative
propaganda. The two countries can then sit at talks on equal positions.
Currently Iran does not observe any changes in the policies America has
had since the beginning of the revolution until now, in different fields
that relate to Iran's interests. So Iran does not have any inclination
towards such talks. This, rules out assumptions that talks over Iraq may
open the door to talks over other issues.
"[Presenter] Based on what you said then the negotiations will centre on
"[Velayati] That is so.
"[Presenter] However, the reactions have been negative by some and even
worried which have led to numerous analysis, For example the analysis
dancing with wolves. I mean two opposing viewpoints. What does this mean?
This could in and of itself be an indication that it will not be
restricted to Iraq.
"[Velayati] The domestic mindset that negotiations with America will solve
all our problems is a mirage. If this were the true then all these
countries that face to face with America in the region or around globe;
countries like Russia to Arab states in the region and all Muslim
countries, and other countries around the globe like Latin American
countries, these countries are in constant touch with the US. Negotiating
with the Americans hasn't solved any of the problems they seek to solve.
Take Russia as an example, their relationship with America. There have
constant comings and going between Moscow and Washington since the fall of
the Soviet Union. The Americans have constantly encouraged the Russians to
walk down the path that westerners have imagined for them. All the while
they are tightening the reigns on Russia. Be it with air defence shield or
with gas pipelines.
"[Presenter] Even saying that Putin doesn't really believe in democracy.
"[Velayati] Yes, see they organize demonstrations in Moscow and St.
Petersburg and Mr Putin realizes that these people are moving closer to
Moscow and St. Petersburg form Kiev and Tbilisi. They have brought
missiles to the Czech Republic and Poland and tomorrow they will take them
to Caucuses. Ms Rice goes to Moscow to soften relations, but she announces
while she is there that the missile defence shield will proceed and that
no one can stop the process. On the one hand they organize a meeting in
Poland on the trans-Caspian pipeline. The pipeline is meant to go from
Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan and go the length of the Caspian and
ultimately end up in Europe. Mr Putin travelled to Turkmenistan and
Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan and Russia together agree that the pipeline
should go through Russia. At the same time the American secretary of
energy says in an interview that it is not to Europe's interest for
central Asian oil to pass through Russia in its attempts to diversify its
energy sources. These countries are in constant dialogue with the
Americans, but the Americans are not willing to forego their objectives.
"Those people who have gotten over excited about the fact that
negotiations with America will be the cure to all problems have
miscalculated. In other words, the government's position in clear, but
some ill-considered positions here in the country might send false signals
to the other party. The other party might image that there are two groups
of Iranians one group is eager for dialogue with the US and the other
group is against it. They might attempt to enrich the groups they imagine
to be pro-talks with the US. The reality is that any patriot will always
put the national interest as the red line and over and above any other
thing. In the face of a common enemy, factional disagreements not
withstanding, there is need for national unity. This is the difference
between a nationalistic perspective and the perspective which believes you
must prevail against your opponent even if you have to rely on stranger
for this victory.
"[Presenter] Dr Velayati, the same output can be achieved through two
different tactics. In America, George Bush has one view, and Nancy Pelosi,
the head of the house of representatives says that more that 80 members of
the house and I are ready to travel to Iran. Can you say that there is a
division there?
"[Velayati] They want to come to Iran and repeat Bush's words, but with a
softer tone. They want to tell us to recognize Israel, stop supporting
Hezbollah, stop interfering in Iraq's internal affairs, and stop the
nuclear programme. It means that America's interests are supported through
two voices, in two forms and with two different tactics. Some people - who
are not great in numbers but have tribunes, write or give interviews to
western radios - say "why should we be engaged in the issue of Palestine?"
But if Ms Pelosi ever comes to Iran for talks, she will say that regarding
the Palestinian issue, we support Israel's interests. The Democrats and
the Republicans compete against each other inside their country for
supporting Israel. Put the people of Iran aside, but is there such
competition between our political parties for supporting Palestinians and
the Lebanese? Is there any consensus inside Iran between those who have a
tribune or publish, for supporting the Iraqis? No, there is not.
"[Presenter] Dr Velayati, shall we talk openly?
"[Velayati] Yes.
"[Presenter] I point out some opinions about the issue of Palestine. Some
believe that...
"[Velayati] Do you not support it?
"[Presenter] I only reflect the opinions so that the discussion becomes
clearer. Some believe that we spend so much for Palestine, but for
example, some Palestinians hold pictures of Saddam - who attacked Iran for
eight years - in some demonstrations. Why should we spend so much to
support them? You say America supports Israel. The Zionist regime also
fully supports America. It acts in the framework of America's interests.
Is the same true about Palestine and Iran?
"[Velayati] There are Palestinian politicians, they are known to us, we
know their names, they can be said to have ties with the Israelis, if one
were to set out to tarnish the relationship with the Iranian and
Palestinian peoples and if they were sure that as you said raising the
image of Saddam would disrupt the flow our assistance to Palestine, then
they would surely do so. If we allow such things to sway us and upset the
affirmative steps we take to assist the people of Palestine then it will
be clear that we are fickle. Long-term actions and decision are not
affected thus. To support Palestine is to support Iran. To support Lebanon
is to support Iran. To support Iraq is to support Iran. Why? On the day
that the Israelis with US endorsement attacked Lebanon, fundamental to
their strategy was first Lebanon then Iran; meaning that they wanted to
clip Iran's wings. Iran's allies in the region are Iran's wings.
"Those people who believe that we will be safe as long as we remain within
our national borders and ignore disturbances caused by the enemy at our
borders are surely the very people that Imam Ali was referring to when he
said no nation was ever defeated unless it sat home and wait for the enemy
to come. Why is it that the Americans who are in the western hemisphere
come here to the Persian Gulf and deploy their forces in a small Arab
country and say that we are defending America's national interests. Do the
Americans have borders or property in the Persian Gulf? They have come
half a planet away form the western hemisphere to the eastern hemisphere
in order to secure their national interests. How could we ignore what is
happening on our own doorsteps in Iraq and Palestine and Lebanon?
"The issue is clear, all the western pundits have said it, it was part of
a master plan to rescue the US form the Middle-East quagmire and at the
same time deliver Israel form the blows suffered by its administration.
Their plan would start form Lebanon go through Syria, Iraq and Iran until
it arrived in Afghanistan. They wanted to break the circle, to rip the
chain asunder.
"[Velayati] They thought that the weakest link is Lebanon's Hezbollah.
They tried to draw a clear line between Hezbollah and Lebanon's
government. They did so to come after Iran and Syria and break Iran's
defensive link. If that is so, and if supporting Hezbollah, and Iran's
investment on Lebanon and Hezbollah and Palestine and Iraq after the
revolution, has been so important and productive that today both enemies
and friends say that Iran is a regional power. It means that Iran's
influence in the Persian Gulf area and Middle East is unique. You can name
no country around us that has as much influence as Iran has.
"So, the American stresses this point. Israelis say that if we want to
confront Iran, we have to do so in Beirut and Damascus and Baghdad and
Tehran. If that is so, why should Iran isolate itself? It is always much
easier to prevent than to cure. If you befriend with the countries in the
region as a preventive measure, should an enemy turns to you -which has
done- it will have to deal with several countries rather than one. Lebanon
and Palestine and Syria and Iraq and Iran, and some would say
"[Presenter] Don't you think that this view is too idealistic?
"[Velayati] This is the reality. Some people who wanted to exaggerate used
to say that Israel fought as America's representative and Lebanon as
Iran's representative. Do you remember that? That is what the western
analysts said. Quoting it does not mean that we totally agree with this.
But there were enough evidence for the world to say that this war is
between Iran and America, but Lebanon is fighting as a representative of
Iran and Israel as a representative of America, and that the Americans
lost the war because the Israelis lost the war. The same happens in other
countries of the region. I am trying to be explicit, as you asked. Some
people inside the country -who may not have any mal intentions but need to
be informed - say that "we have enough problems inside our countries and
instead of solving these problems we help our neighbours too."
"Well the answer to this mentioned fault is that if we could remain inside
our own borders and be safe and be sure that we would not be faced with
plots, scandals and attacks from outside our borders, then those who are
saying that we should remain inside our country would have been right.
However, we're seeing that this matter is a fundamental issue which is
practiced by all of those countries which exist in the international
political system.
"...[Velayati] If you are familiar with military tactics in theory or if
you have read about them, you'd note that in military tactics and
political equations, remaining within the borders will make the country
and the protectors of its national security passive. When you become
active outside your borders, in fact you take the initiative. But if you
sit and wait until something is done against you from outside, this is
tantamount to bringing the country into a passive mode. If you sit here
and watch for what happens in Central Asia, the Caspian region, Caucasia,
Anatolia, the Middle East, the Persian Gulf, Arabian Peninsula and the
Indian sub-continent, then you can defend the country's territorial
integrity and national security with open eyes. But if you ignore this and
sit inside your country regardless of what is taking place around you, you
should know that if there is a fire outside your borders, you should know
that it will be carried across the borders.
"Can you be indifferent to the latent and obvious war between Russia and
NATO north of Iran? The missiles of NATO and US and the military bases of
the Americans are located west of the Caspian Sea. And the most important
element of power, that is energy, passes through countries where there is
an increasing American and Western influence. And they will create a chaos
where they have little influence. They did create chaos in Azerbaijan,
Georgia and Ukraine. Russia does not need gas. But it holds nearly 28 per
cent of the world's gas resources. But why Mr Putin says in Turkmenistan
that gas must pass through Russia. And that is when the Westerners have
agreed to pass the gas through the Trans-Caspian route. That is because it
has very important impacts on Russia's national security. Russia has an
area of over 17 million square kilometres. They need to have oil. Why they
go to Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan? That is because they want to secure
their borders.
"[Presenter] Dr Velayati, what happens if the firm stances towards the US
during the past 28 years are re-defined?
"[Velayati] Re-defining when it is necessary to revise, is definitely
necessary. Permanent reviewing is a sign of political life of every
country. But if you review your political interests that does not mean
that you are going to change them. You review it and find out that your
positions were right and we have benefited from them. Compare the Iran of
today to the Iran under the Shah. At that time Iran was completely
controlled by the Americans. Iran under the Shah had no status in the
international scene.
"[Presenter] So what was "The Gendarme of the Persian Gulf"?
"[Velayati] If that is an honour, let it be for those who gave this honour
to the Shah. He was the Gendarme of the Persian Gulf because the Americans
told him to deploy forces to Zoffar [in Oman] and he did. Iranian soldiers
were killed in Zoffar in order to secure the interests of America. He was
the Gendarme to send forces to Congo to support those who opposed Lumumba.
He sent forces to Viet Nam to defend General Ngo dinh Diem against Hoshi
Minh. What was our interest in Viet Nam. Why should our soldiers be killed
in Viet Nam? So, he was America's mercenary. They sold the oil and bought
the Phantom and then went to Zoffar or Viet Nam or Congo with that
"It was a powerless government and the country was being controlled by
foreigners. One of the first things that was done after the Islamic
revolution was putting an end to foreign influence. But this did not mean
cutting off relations with foreigners. The plan was to have mutual
relations based on equal rights and mutual respect. All other countries
accepted this but the Americans did not. The Americans behaved in a way as
though this country was a legacy left for Nixon, Clinton and so on and the
Islamic Republic had usurped that legacy. So they allocate funs at the
Congress to topple this government and install one of their mercenaries as
the head of this state. They saw it as their own property. Now that you
say it is our Iran and we have to defend it, they oppose you.
"[Presenter] George Bush showed that he did not listen to his fellow party
members. Five of the Baker-Hamilton Committee members were Republicans. He
did not listen to them and sent 21,500 more soldiers to Iraq. And called
for a 124bn dollars budget which was vetoed and now they are going to give
him 43bn and after he reports, if the report is confirmed they will give
him the rest. Would Bush, who has not listened to the Baker-Hamilton
report, accept our suggestions about Iraq's security?
"[Velayati] If they have to - and they will have to - they will withdraw
from their current stances. Mr Bush, with all of his stubbornness had to
surrender to the Congress about the budget. First he threatened to veto
but then he withdrew when they said we give some to you and we will see
when you come back. So, he withdrew. They will withdraw if there is more
pressure. Another reason is that last year when they called for holding
talks, they behaved in a way that was different from their behaviour this
year. It is evident that they have withdrawn from their last year's

FBI visits Auditor's office: Sources
By Amy Lavalley Post-Tribune correspondent April 9, 2014 9:36AM
Updated: April 9, 2014 6:33PM
VALPARAISO — Sources within the Porter County Administration Building confirmed Tuesday that an FBI agent had visited Auditor Bob Wichlinski's office.
The agent reportedly requested payroll information regarding the Porter County Expo Center.
Wichlinski did not return phone messages or an email from the Post-Tribune seeking additional information.
Agents with the FBI have visited several county offices in recent months, including the information technology department last month, to download data related to the plan commission. Agents also were in the plan commission office last month, seeking copies of building permits for the construction of Porter Regional Hospital and an adjacent medical office building, both located at Indiana 49 and U.S. 6.
They also have sought conflict-of-interest statements filed with the clerk's office; communication regarding the Board of Commissioners' contract for health clinic services for employees; and highway department bids and contracts for services and supplies for 2010 and 2011.

New Plugin System FAQ!!!
4 Attachment(s)
The following is a tutorial on the new Plugin System we are including in our ReviewPost application. This will in time be ported to our Classifieds and PhotoPost Pro applications.
What the plugin system does is allow you to create plugins to define new html, banner ads or for the more technically minded individuals full php defined plugins to bring in new content into our applications without physically modifying our files thus making it easier for you in turn to upgrade. You can enable or disable the plugin system from the admin panel. I have included with this first round release the following hook locations in the templates. There are 32 distinct locations. More will be added in time and customers are encouraged to make suggestions on locations. Quote:
1. Things are pretty straight forward you enter a plugin title set the location you want to show the information and under the hookcode you enter whatever php code or html code you are trying to define and display. 2. The following is a sample of a simple block I defined to show on the sidebar_top location Quote:
The important thing to note here is that double qoutes need to be used in the final hook html so that variable information will be rendered. Quote:
[Valid] Markup Validation of http://www.omegatron.net/reviews/index.php - W3C Markup Validator I have tried to make things are straight forward and easy as possible. Doing a plugin should not crash your entire site so you should be able to go into admin and disable any plugin you are having an issue with. Now there is a global hook location which allows you to define some global variables etc and care should be taken when using that hook location. Now just incase you do crash your entire system with a global plugin we have included just like vbulletin a master define switch in the config-inc.php file you can remove the two forward slashes from and that should disable your plugin system so you can remove or fix the offending plugin. Quote:
Enjoy this new feature and feel free to post suggestions on future hook locations in any products respective suggestions forum. As noted there are 32 hook locations which is a good beginning and should allow a good start for the new system covering most locations people want to include content. |
I am looking for new plugin ideas. You can see what plugins exist and let me know your thoughts. Remember good plugins might be good enough into time to become supported features so all ideas welcome. |

Couple arrested at Mathews Co. elementary school | WVEC.com Norfolk - Hampton RoadsJenkins was at the school waiting for his girlfriend, 27-year old Diane Hall. She was apparently talking with her child's teacher.
Jenkins was arrested for carrying a firearm on school property.
Hall was also arrested for having an active protected order out against her. That order was reportedly placed by Jenkins.
So you give your GF a ride to school to talk to the teacher, even though you have a protection order against her, and you decide to toss the shotgun in the back seat (I presume). Maybe they were going hunting later.

When a text asks for your Social Security number, it is a scam
Albany, N.Y. – New York consumer safety officials are warning people not to fall for a scam that targets their cellphone text messages.
The scheme is known as "Smishing," a reference to the combination of SMS messaging and the older tactic called "phishing" -- for personal information.
People pose as financial institutions, utilities or phone companies asking the recipient of a text message to click on a link or call a number and then provide personal information like a Social Security number or a personal PIN.
Legitimate institutions do not ask for personal information.
Real messages can be confirmed by contacting a company through a known customer service number.
Please report any scam attempt to your phone company.

Type 2 diabetes gene predisposes children to obesity
A gene named HHEX/IDE, which has already been implicated in the development of type 2 diabetes (see research article), may also contribute to childhood obesity. While the gene does not appear to affect birth weight and does not necessarily predispose an adult to become obese, it may set the stage for obesity in some children.
Researchers investigated 20 gene variants, or single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs or "snips") previously associated with type 2 diabetes. A genetic polymorphism (from Ancient Greek; poly = many, morph = form) occurs when there are two or more forms of the same gene. This is caused by a single nucleotide substitution or deletion in the sequence of nucleotides that code for the gene. It's like substituting the letter "h" for the letter "c" in the word "cat," changing the word to "hat," which is something completely different.
SNPs are important in genetic research because of the comparisons that can be made between two groups (such as one group with a disease, and one without). Do the members of the group with a disease all have SNPs in the same region of their genetic code? If so, then we can assume that the gene in which the SNPs occur may be involved in a given disease.
Using a group of 7,200 children involved in an ongoing study of childhood obesity, researchers found that the HEX/IDE gene makes it more likely that a child will become obese during childhood.
In the press release from The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, study leader Struan F.A. Grant, Ph.D., a researcher and Associate Director of the Center for Applied Genomics of the hospital, says, "It has been a bit of a mystery to scientists how or even if these adult diabetes genes function during childhood. This finding suggests that there may be genetic activity during childhood that lays the foundation for the later development of type 2 diabetes...Previously we thought that this gene affects insulin production during adulthood, but we now see that it may play an early role in influencing insulin resistance through its impact on body size during childhood. One implication is that if we can develop medicines to target specific biological pathways in childhood, we may be able to prevent diabetes from developing later in life."
The finding is important not only in elucidating the genetic origins of diabetes, but may present an avenue for developing drugs to counteract the disease.

Simon Kinberg is currently working on a script for one of the forthcoming
Star Wars
spin-offs, but according to the screenwriter, the main series of films will not draw upon the expanded universe.
"You know, it's not off-limits, and it's certainly inspiring," says Kinberg of the expanded universe material. "I'm working on an animated show for [
] as well,
Star Wars: Rebels
, that will take inspiration from everywhere."
"But…" he continues, "I know for the movies, the canon is the canon, and the canon is the six films that exist."
Which isn't to say that Lucasfilm isn't keen to develop the expanded universe further, and indeed, Kinberg's spin-off will do just that… it just won't feed directly into the main series.
Directed by J.J. Abrams and starring Adam Driver,
Star Wars: Episode VII
will open in the UK on 18 December 2015.
