Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
24 Jul 2005 22:01 GMT
Ali Ghothami, their campaigners' lawyer, said on Sunday he was told by a Riyadh judge the court had rejected appeals by the three men - two university lecturers and a poet - against the sentences passed in May.
The cases of Matruk al-Falih, Abd Allah al-Hamad and Ali al-Dumaini, who had petitioned for Saudi Arabia to move towards a constitutional monarchy, have highlighted the limits of the conservative kingdom's modest reform programme.
Saudi Arabia held partial, men-only local elections this year. But supporters of the three reformists say their treatment shows the royal family will not tolerate any questioning of its power.
"These sentences are unfair and have no legal basis," said a statement issued in the name of reformers calling themselves "supporters of the constitution and civil society". It urged Saudi Arabia's rulers to intervene and free the men.
US criticism
The three were arrested in March 2004, along with nine others who later were released. In their protracted trial, two of the three refused to defend themselves in protest at the hearings taking place behind closed doors.
Rice described the campaignersas 'brave citizens'Their arrest and sentencing drew rare public criticism from the United States, which has pushed for reform in ally Saudi Arabia since the 11 September 2001 attacks.
Rice described the campaignersas 'brave citizens'
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice described the campaigners as brave citizens demanding accountable government in the world's biggest oil exporter. On a tour of the Middle East, which included Saudi Arabia, last month she said their actions "should not be a crime in any country".
Saudi Arabia said the case was a matter for the courts and that it would not accept changes imposed from outside.
Call for reform
During sentencing in May, judges said the men's call for reform had incited people at a critical time in Saudi Arabia's history when "its enemies are lurking and looking for excuses to intervene in the name of reform".
In their appeal, the men said the case against them was riddled with judicial violations, including disagreement over which courts could try them, and a lack of impartiality by the panel of three judges which sentenced them.
Judges allowed prosecutors to introduce evidence that was not related to the initial charges, according to the appeal. After one public court session in August, the remaining sessions were held behind closed doors.

AFTRA Foundation Sets Up Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund
The AFTRA Foundation has set up a $50,000 fund to support and aid active SAG-AFTRA members in their recovery from the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy, the foundation announced. The fund will be administered by the Actors Fund in New York.
SAG-AFTRA members are eligible to apply to the AFTRA Foundation Hurricane Relief Fund if they are currently active and have paid their dues through the May 2012 billing cycle. Grants of up to $1,000 will be administered through the Actors Fund through a confidential and streamlined process aimed at aiding members quickly and effectively as they rebuild and recover from the superstorm.
PHOTOS: Hurricane Sandy: New Yorkers' Shocking Twitter Pictures
"Our hearts are behind our actions and, like a true family, the AFTRA Foundation is here to help our members when they need help the most," said AFTRA Foundation president Shelby Scott. "We've seen great loss and suffering caused by this storm. Helping our members rebuild their lives is the most important work we can do at this time."
"This is the type of work the foundation is devoted to and was designed for," said SAG-AFTRA co-president Roberta Reardon. "We are grateful to all who support us and to the Actors Fund for partnering with us."
Members affected by the storm can apply for assistance by contacting The Actors Fund in New York at (212) 221-7300 ext. 119 or email@example.com.
The SAG Foundation and the Screen Actors Guild Motion Picture Players Welfare Fund jointly set up a similar fund several days ago, funded at $200,000 and providing grants of up to $4,800. Like the AFTRA Foundation fund, it's administered through the Actors Fund.
Donations to the AFTRA Foundation Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund can be sent to: AFTRA Foundation, Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund, 260 Madison Ave. 7th Floor, New York, NY 10016.
Founded in 1997, the AFTRA Foundation is a 501c(3) charitable and educational organization funded through tax-deductible voluntary contributions, grants and bequests – not member dues – to support projects outside the scope of normal activities of the Union.
The Actors Fund is a national human services organization that helps everyone -- performers and those behind the scenes -- who works in performing arts and entertainment, serving more than 12,800 people annually. Programs include social services and emergency financial assistance, health care and insurance, housing, and employment and training services.

"Oh, God," laughs the guitarist and part-time character actor. "They would be run out on a rail if they did that. They would be mocked mercilessly."
For a band famous for buzz-sawing through suburban conformity a generation ago ("We'll crawl through your backyard and whack your yappin' dog," Doe and his songwriter partner -- and then-wife -- Exene Cervenka once threatened), playing to an audience of over-the-hill hipsters would surely be a nightmare.
"If you think about it," admits drummer D.J. Bonebrake, "at this point, we're really an oldies band. I mean, we've been at it for, like, 25 years now. If I compare it to when I was in high school back in the early '70s, that would be like me going to see Elvis."
Somehow, though, the punk audience never aged like fans of '50s rock or '70s disco or even '80s glam rock. The Saturday Night Fever set eventually shamed their Travolta suits, but the rebels who latched on to bands like X from the ferocious L.A. club scene of the late '70s to early '80s never completely abandoned their attachment.
Certainly, the fashions of the punk era haven't died. You still can spot shellacked Mohawks at Vans Skateparks in malls, ransom-note graphic design can be seen flashing through MTV, and body piercing has gone mainstream enough to become fodder for advertisers.
"I think that's still a statement," Doe says of the persistent punk dictum to spear shiny studs and earrings into unlikely body areas (a desire his own 10-, 12- and 14-year-olds have so far resisted). "Maybe not as original as it once was, but still a statement."
While the punk movement's refusal to grow up has been good for tee shirt designers and tattoo artists, its narrow boundaries and resistance to growth proved stagnating for pioneering bands like X.
"I highly doubt if X will ever go back into the studio to create a new album," Doe says in his typically frank manner. "And there are two good reasons for that. One, I don't really write punk rock songs anymore. Punk rock was of a time, and of an environment, and -- for us -- a product of Exene's and my relationship.
"And number two," he says, "I'm not really sure if people want new X music. And if they do, it would be on very specific terms. They'd want it to sound exactly like our first four albums."
Bonebrake agrees. "Some people get snotty about us even touring again," he says. "They say, I thought you were just gonna disappear, and you're still playing.' It's like we should just go away. No one wants to see punk rock musicians playing into their old age," he admits. "But what do they expect us to do?"
What an old punk does, prescribes John Doe, is follow his muse.
"You do things like what I'm doing with this acoustic album," he says, referring to his latest solo release, Dim Stars, Bright Sky, a quieter album which finds Doe in a totally acoustic setting with guest vocalists ranging from the Wallflowers' Jakob Dylan to Jane Wiedlin of the Go-Go's.
Bonebrake, too, has managed to break free by playing vibraphone with his own side projects -- the Bonebrake Syncopators, a "kind of '30s- to '50s-style jazz quartet" that holds down weekly gigs at a Sunset Strip cafe, and the larger Orchestral Superstring, a Latin jazz ensemble.
"It keeps it interesting," Bonebrake says of his side jobs. "You're kind of preparing yourself for the grave when you're playing jazz. It's the kind of music you can do as a lifelong endeavor, not a style you suddenly become too old for."
Doe, whose songs even with X always managed to infuse a little country and rockabilly into the bombast, has continued in the alt-country vein with bands like the Knitters and a series of solo albums. But perhaps Doe's most surprising side project has been his acting career, which, over the years, has actually eclipsed his notoriety as a musician. He played the dad to Jerry Lee Lewis' child bride in 1989's Great Balls of Fire, scored a supporting role in 1997's Boogie Nights and, for the past three years, appeared in a recurring role as the dad of a teenage girl in love with an alien on the WB's hit series Roswell. Meeting fans of the teen-favored TV series has kept Doe more in touch with today's young rock fans than he would have been if he'd stuck to just playing music.

Splurge on lamb rib chops or save on loin chops; either way you will enjoy this Moroccan-inspired meal. The familiar flavors of an everything bagel make a surprise appearance here to spice a zesty yogurt dip.

It can vary greatly in spiciness and saltiness from brand to brand, so add a little at first and taste as you go.

Canada-based Kili Technology, which supplies hardware modules, firmware and IP for mobile point of sale, readers and other payment-acceptance devices, has acquired NFC-accessories vendor DeviceFidelity.
NFC Times Exclusive: Despite the announcement by Apple of its first NFC-enabled iPhone, released Friday, promoters of NFC-enabled attachments targeting the iPhone contend they will not lose business.
While mobile-wallet platform providers see demand for white-label wallets, some merchants say they see room for improvement in current offerings.
NFC Times Exclusive: A long-anticipated but delayed launch of an NFC case for the iPhone 5 is finally ready to go forward, following remaining approvals needed from Visa and Apple, NFC Times has learned.
U.S. Bank has announced the "beta" launch of its Go Mobile service in two cities, using microSDs and an NFC-enabled case for the iPhone.
Bank of America has not yet tipped its hand about how it plans to roll out mobile payment in the U.S., but it is unlikely to use microSD cards–that is, if a recent evaluation of the technology by a bank representative is any guide.
While mobile operators continue to push for the SIM card to become the de facto secure element in NFC phones, some banks and other service providers are still seeking alternatives.
France-based NFC chip vendor Inside Secure has announced new technology that it says can embed a contactless chip and antenna into SIM cards and communicate with point-of-sale or other contactless readers at a standard 4 centimeters or more.
Visa and the BPCE banking group plan to hold their trial in Nice and Strasbourg among a combi
Visa Europe and Groupe BPCE, one of France's largest banks, are launching a trial of mobile payment with the iPhone, Samsung's Galaxy S and two BlackBerry Bold models, using contactless mic
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – A U.S. district court judge has ruled that T-Mobile USA infringed an NFC patent held by Israel-based On Track Innovations.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – France-based Gemalto, which is keen to take the spotlight off its SIM business, projects EMV cards to represent perhaps the largest expected source of revenue growth in the coming year.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – UPDATED: Mobile point-of-sale device supplier Square has acquired payment processing component vendor Kili Technology, the same vendor that purchased NFC accessory vendor DeviceFidelity in November, but Square does not plan to keep DeviceFidelity, a source connected with Square told NFC Times.
NFC Times Exclusive – NFC Times has learned new details about how Samsung intends to make money from its planned payments service, Samsung Pay; as well as the technology architecture the OEM will use and the identity of two unannounced banks, along with a new category of issuer that is planning to participate.
NFC Times Exclusive – The public relations debacle Gemalto faced following revelations last month that U.S. and UK spy agencies had stolen keys from its SIM cards is not the only problem the France-based vendor has had to deal with regarding SIMs.
NFC Times Exclusive – MasterCard Worldwide has named James Anderson group executive for platforms, a key position inside the payment network, which is seeking to secure its role in the ecosystem as mobile payments start to gather steam, NFC Times has learned.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – One of Australia's largest banks, Commonwealth Bank, is launching NFC payments from its mobile-banking app using host-card emulation, having earlier tried embedded secure elements, contactless stickers and iPhone attachments.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Google's recently announced API for NFC payments applications, Android Pay, is expected to support apps using host card emulation, or HCE, but also likely will support storage of keys on hardware.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Apple's new wearable, Apple Watch, will support Apple Pay as well as mobile keys for hotel rooms, the company announced Monday.
BARCELONA, Spain – NFC Times Exclusive (UPDATED): The Galaxy S6 will carry an embedded secure element, mainly to enable nonpayment applications, while supporting NFC payments with host-card emulation and storing payment tokens in a secure area on the processor, an ARM-based TrustZone, a representative of Samsung told NFC Times. The embedded secure element also could be used to store tokens outside of the U.S.
BARCELONA, Spain – NFC Times Exclusive Insight: Samsung Electronics has unveiled its Apple Pay rival, which it calls Samsung Pay, a mobile-payments service that, as expected, supports technology from Samsung's recent acquisition of LoopPay combined with NFC.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Following a lull in attention on host-card emulation with the announcement and launch of Apple Pay in the latter half of last year, the buzz appears to be back on HCE, and among the latest organizations promoting it is MasterCard Worldwide.

The Lynch Nomination is Dead — Unless Biden Cheats and McConnell Caves

But she will be "history" unless McConnell allows Biden to cheat her way to confirmation. Lynch will be filibustered.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Will Bonness gets an invite to all-star jam
WINNIPEG pianist and jazz professor Will Bonness is heading back to the scene of one of his teenage triumphs.
The skilled musician, in his late 20s, will return to the Telluride Jazz Festival in Colorado, Aug. 1-3, to perform in a 20th-anniversary all-star band comprised of seven musicians who made their debut at the fest as high school students.
Bonness is pleased to have been invited as Bob Montgomery, founder and director of the Telluride Student Jazz All-Star program held each year, "picked people successful in their careers."
"There have been a lot of great players there over the years," Bonness adds. "It's cool to be picked."
Bonness was first chosen to perform in the annual program when he was 15 or 16 after supplying an audition tape to Montgomery, a trumpeter and educator who taught at the University of Manitoba summer jazz camp for a number of years.
And at 17, Bonness hit the road with Maynard Ferguson's Big Bop Nouveau big band.
He is now a busy musician and piano professor in the U of M's jazz studies program, so it seems the Telluride program's aim of helping young musicians enter the world of jazz as professional performers hit the mark.
Each of the seven band members has been asked to provide original music -- newly composed or newly arranged for the two trumpets, two saxophones, piano, bass and drums configuration -- for the group's club dates and mainstage festival performances, Bonness says.
"We rehearse on the day I arrive," he notes.
-- -- --
Thomas (Fats) Waller was a colourful entertainer as well as a master stride pianist and composer who influenced the generation of pianists that followed him, including Count Basie, Teddy Wilson and Mary Lou Williams.
Some of Waller's best music, conjuring life in Harlem in the 1920s and '30s, will close out the Izzy Asper Jazz Performances series next Saturday in two concerts.
New York singers Catherine Russell and Allan Harris will perform popular Waller tunes such as Ain't Misbehavin' and Honeysuckle Rose under the direction of arranger and saxophonist Andy Farber, who presented a similar Waller show at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York in 2010.
They will be backed by Winnipeg musicians Steve Kirby on bass, Bonness, trumpeter Derrick Gardner, drummer Quincy Davis, saxophonist Jon Gordon and trombonist Brad Shigeta.
Farber has described Waller as appealing "to the connoisseur and the layperson with his mastery of the stride piano and pop music.
"As a composer, Waller is right up there with George Gershwin, Richard Rogers, and Cole Porter. Many of his tunes are standard repertoire today. Much like Gershwin's I Got Rhythm, countless songs have their harmonic structure based on Waller's Honeysuckle Rose or Ain't Misbehavin'," he says.
The Music of Fats Waller will be performed May 3 at 3:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. at the Winnipeg Art Gallery. Tickets are $38 ($20 for students) at 204-477-7534 and www.radyjzz.com.

Icelandic guitarist and popular visitor to Winnipeg Bjorn Thoroddsen reprises his Guitarama concert on May 9 at the Park Theatre.
Last year's celebration of all styles of guitar playing was a hit, and Jazz Winnipeg decided to make it an annual event.
Joining Thoroddsen this year are local guitarists Barry G. Player, Tim Butler, Chet Breau, Marco Castillo and Mike Swickis, and bassist Gilles Fournier and drummer Eric Platz.
Tickets are $15 from Jazz Winnipeg, 204-989-4656, or $20 at the door.
-- -- --
The Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra wraps up its season on May 11 with a celebration of the music of Harold Arlen featuring Winnipeg singer Colleen Furlan, a finalist on the CBC reality TV series Over the Rainbow in 2012.
Furlan made it to the final four in the quest for the lead role of Dorothy in Andrew Lloyd Webber's stage adaptation of The Wizard of Oz.
Furlan will sing selections from the Arlen repertoire and some of her personal favourites backed by the big band. The concert will also feature local singer Everett Fristensky.
The WJO performs May 11 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. at the Winnipeg Art Gallery. Tickets are $34 ($15 for students) at www.winnipegjazzorchestra.com.
-- -- --
The 2014-15 Izzy Asper Performances boasts a strong lineup for the five-concert season that starts in the fall.
Creole Soul with the Etienne Charles Quintet opens the season Sept. 20 and 21 with the trumpeter's mix of calypso, blues, bebop and R&B.
Acclaimed vibraphonist Warren Wolf, last seen here in a band led by Christian McBride, performs Nov. 1 and 2 in a show highlighting Ellington and more.
Guitarist Russell Malone is joined by pianist Cyrus Chestnut on March 7 and 8 as he plays music from the repertoires of jazz guitar legends such as Charlie Christian, Charlie Byrd, Kenny Burrell and Wes Montgomery.
Violinist Regina Carter and her Southern Comfort Quintet take a journey to her father's Alabama roots with a mix of gospel, folk and jazz on April 8.
Singer Carmen Lundy leads a quartet May 2 and 3 to celebrate the 91st anniversary of the births of jazz greats Sarah Vaughan and Dinah Washington.
Asper series concerts are held Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., except Regina Carter, who performs two Saturday shows, at 3:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. Tickets are available at radyjcc.com or 204-477-7534.

- Emed
Some type of sub-title
- Emed operates in medical electrosurgery segment, producing a full spectrum of diathermies since 1997. Due to the product line expansion, the core brand required a comprehensive restyling.
At the very early stage of the project it became obvious, that the new, restyled identity had to capture a dynamic brand culture with the technological edge, at the same time providing the target group with a confident and bold brand image and differentiating from comptetitors.
The self-evident metaphor for the product – a mitochondrium (an organella responsible for energy production) seemed a good design solution, but was lacking dynamics and the technological edge essential for the strategic needs of the brand. Only combing those two in an abstract symbol met the expectations.
As the international medical trade fair was approaching, the whole gamut of brand communications (from business cards to exhibition stands) had to be designed and produced literally asap. The success of the project would not be possible without the support of the project coordinators on Emed's side (Ms. Aneta Gadomska & Malgorzata Seruga) and Foxrabbit Designers (responsible for DTP).

For small business owners, keeping it local is key. New research from The UPS Store found that more than 90 percent of small business owners would prefer to do business with other local business owners.
The research also found that small business owners feel they don't get enough support or understanding when it comes to the challenges of running their businesses. They're not just the business owner, they're often the accountant, the bookkeeper, and maybe even the landscaper. And sometimes, they just need help.
Enter The UPS Store.
The UPS Store has a "do-whatever-it-takes" attitude and range of services tailored to the needs of small businesses. And, because its more than 4,300 locations are locally owned, each one is well-equipped to meet the needs of small businesses in its community.

Comcast Buys Rest of NBC Universal
By editor
Comcast, the Philadelphia based cable giant, announced a major deal late Tuesday afternoon. It's buying the 49 percent stake of NBC Universal that it did not already own for 16.7 billion dollars. General Electric is the seller and will also be selling some prized real estate as part of the deal.

One thing I didn't like in the episode and it applies to both seasons is that
none of your choices really matter in the grand scheme of things. You can save a character from being killed but all you are doing is delaying the inevitable. If a character had the option of being killed don't expect them to live to the next season.
I am also playing Ragnarok Odyssey Ace. It is fun enough but I think Monster Hunter has spoiled me.

Girlie Drink of the Week9 Mar
Considering the viewership here, I am seriously thinking of changing the title to "Cocktail of the Week". Maybe then the gents would be more apt to try it. But for now, it's still a girlie drink, even though it features bourbon. Or maybe because of it.
Tea Breeze
- 6 oz. chilled sweet tea (sweet to your taste)
- 8 mint leaves, plus one sprig for garnish
- ¼ oz. fresh lemon juice (Meyer, if you can get it)
- 1 ½ oz. peach schnapps
- 1 oz. Maker's Mark (or bourbon of choice)
Pour and place all ingredients in an ice-filled shaker. Shake well, and pour into a tall glass over ice. Garnish with the mint sprig.
Usually, I tell y'all that garnish is very optional. But not so with mint. Mint is awesome, and the mo, the bettah. So sprig away your doctored tea, and hopefully that will ease your transition into Daylight Savings ;)
Show Me Who Your Friends Are, and I'll Show You Who You Are3 Mar
Today marks an "historic" occasion. Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, will be addressing a joint session of Congress. It isn't the first time he has done so, but it is "historic" for one reason only: he was not invited by our es-steamed Prez but by our Speaker, John Boehner. To hear the Democrats tell it, this is such a huge breach of protocol that Netanyahu needs to be censored.
The Prime Minister isn't here to tell us who to vote for, or with whom to ally ourselves. He is here to warn us of the potential catastrophe that everyone else sees developing in the Middle East. Israel is not alone in seeing the dangers of a nuclear Iran. They are alone in bearing the brunt of its capability, though. But our administration is concerned more with making a deal with a rogue state than it is with keeping an ally safe. In fact, the administration is more concerned with helping to remove Netanyahu from office than with helping a nation survive.
I would like to say that I am surprised, shocked, freaked out by the way the administration is working to undermine a friend of our country. I would like to say it. I can't, because this is their modus operandi. The only thing that surprises me out of the White House is finding Teh Prez in the Oval Office.
But finding out that 55 Democrats will be boycotting Netanyahu's speech? Yes, that surprised and even shocked me. And I have one thing to say about it:
Who the hell do you think YOU work for??
You public servants work for us, the PUBLIC, and not this administration. Teh Prez is NOT your boss. In fact, WE are HIS boss. YOU are supposed to represent us and not the whims of a feckless leader who is whining about getting his feelings hurt because he didn't get the chance to tell Netanyahu "NO". Don't give me the "it is a breach of etiquette" excuse or the "so disrespectful to our president" excuse. That doesn't wash, especially in view of how disrespectful our Prez was leaving Netanyahu to wait for over an hour while he went to have dinner. So shove it and go do you damn job.
Oh, and I have one last thing to say: these are Democrats who are boycotting a Jew and a leader of THE Jewish State. I really hope our Jewish-Americans take note and learn a lesson about voting against your principles.

Three Posts for the Price of One26 Feb
Sorry I have been remiss in posting the usual eye candy and funneh and vitriolic politic. The past two weeks have been hectic, but I am happy to announce all of my drama has been resolved. At least until March 7th. Then the cycle of drama is sure to begin again, Finnegan. So here are three posts to catch up on this blarg.
Bimbos Be Bitching
Last Sunday the Oscars were presented. I don't watch it anymore, simply because it's a preening contest involving people who are paid to project fantasy, voted on by the same, and applauded by themselves. Patricia Arquette (full disclosure: I have seen only one of her movies, "Stigmata") won for something, don't know what nor do I care, and then proceeded to bitch about pay equality and women's rights. This from a multimillionaire. Meryl Streep and J Lo were cheering her on. That from multimillionaires.
You want to impress me? Then get paid scale and stop wearing designer shit that the women you seek to empower can't afford. Oh, and while you're at it, do away with ALL the perks that women in the work force enjoy, like maternity leave. Make them equal, and let's see how much they love you.
Blunder Twins: Deactivate!!18 Feb
I realize it is HOTW day here, but there are times in the affairs of men (see what I did there??) when we must place frivolity on hold and talk about things of a rage-boiling nature.
First up, we have Blunder Twin #1, Jen Psaki. Known for such hashtaggery as "wars are not won by force" and the whopper that "poverty is the root cause of terror" (just ask Osama bin Laden's family), she decided she had been out of the limelight too long and doubled down.
Yes, she did say that. That went over like a lead balloon with anvils and cement blocks tied to it. Feeling that her boss may have gone over the deep end of the shitter, her deputy, Blunder Twin #2, Marie Harf decided to step up to the plate and take the heat off. Talking to a hand-wringing Chris Matthews, Harf explained how we can't win against ISIS (or ISIL, as the administration prefers to call them).
But we cannot win this war by killing them. We cannot kill our way out of this war. We need in the medium to longer term to go after the root causes that leads people to join these groups, whether it's lack of opportunity for jobs[…]
So according to the braniac Blunder Twins at the State Department, one can't win a war by force nor by killing the enemy. We must help them find economic means to sustain themselves, and that will win the hearts and minds of those whose sole purpose is to eradicate everyone from the Earth.
It is a good bet that these two ladies have never played Stratego™.

Re: Helicoptor Ride
Most of the time you can only take 2 passengers. It also depends on the weight of each passenger. The best thing to do is to call the helicopter company that you are interested in and they will give you all that information. It does vary depending on the model of the helicopter.

Re-potting into gritty mix
Finally got all the ingredients to make up the gritty mix. But I am wondering if I can directly re-pot dwarf conifers using the mix, or should I get rid of most of the existing soil, including that around the roots?
The plants were purchased from various nurseries, mostly online, and seem to be growing in potting soil with bark and perlite added, for the most part..
First, make sure you re-pot at the optimum time of year.
I re-pot in late Winter/early Spring in my area.
Second, Yes, you want to get rid of as much of the existing soil as possible.
The first transition will typically be the most stressful...for you and the plant ;-)
Even if they're THAT root bound, I'd work toward having timing on my side by cutting the bottom of the roots off or tearing off any roots circling the bottom of the pot, then loosening some of the remaining roots at the sides of the pot and potting up into a slightly larger container, using soil similar to what they're in, leaving the full repots until spring - late Apr or early May for you. Your plants/your call - that's just what I've learned after thousands of conifer repots.
Best luck always.
Thanks, Al, for your always excellent advice -- greatly appreciated!
I will make up a blend of Black Gold potting soil with some bark fines and pumice added, tease out and/or cut encircling roots and use somewhat larger pots, if need be, and wait until mid-spring to pot them into the gritty mix.
Here is the mix used by the Oregon grower of the plants:
"I use 90-95% bark as the base with 5-10% pumice and a few other nutritional elements. It may be on the dry side for your climate."
Does not seem too far removed from the gritty mix after all!
I can imagine adding a small amount of 8822 and grit to this for re-potting now, or do you think I should use his formula until spring? If so, what might I add to increase water retention a bit?
Yes, it certainly seems much closer to 5:1:1, but he is not using anything such as peat moss to increase water retention.
That is why I was considering adding some 8822 and grit into the mix, together with bark and pumice. But I am wondering about percentages?
BTW, I am planning on growing a number of his plants in containers for a long time.
I don't think you'll need to add any moisture retentive ingredient for this temporary potting up.
For long term plantings, you really can't get much better than the Gritty Mix.
Here's a Picea abies 'Little Gem' that I transferred this Spring to a gritty mix with red lava rock.
(incidentally, I sunburned it pretty bad and now have it on the northeast side of my house in shade).
Since the optimal time for re-potting where I live is early May, and a number of these new plants are somewhat rootbound, seems like I will have to do two re-pots for those that will be living in containers.
I was trying to make the process easier, but probably the plants will do better in similar soil to which they were grown for the winter and early spring, and then into the gritty mix in May.
OK -- I fully accept the situation.
So even in the dry, low humidity, intense sunlight climate of northern NM (elevation of 7000 feet), do you recommend using the same mix as the grower, and feeding weekly with FP 9-3-6 through late autumn?
I can mostly keep the plants protected from afternoon sun.

I am working on a simple chat interface in PHP. This is my first attempt. I am using iframes for bottom part where chat text is entered and top part where the chat text is displayed.
In the top iframe a set the meta refresh for 5 seconds. So every 5 seconds the page refreshes and displays the new text.
I would like to get rid of the meta refresh and instead refresh the top iframe when the form in the bottom iframe is submitted. So the top iframe is only refreshed when text is actually submitted.
Can I do this with JQuery? Can you suggest a snippet to get me started?
Thank you!

Extron Introduces New Model of IN1608 Scaling Presentation Switcher with a Built-In Control Processor
Extron Electronics is pleased to introduce the Extron IN1608 IPCP, a new model of the IN1608 product family featuring a built-in Extron IP Link Pro control processor for complete and powerful AV system control. The IN1608 is a highly versatile scaling presentation switcher that delivers the technologically advanced capabilities necessary to design and integrate a complete AV system in one box, including an HDCP-compliant, multi-format video switcher, an advanced scaling engine, integrated DTP 230 transmitter and receivers, a high performance mono or stereo amplifier, comprehensive audio processing, and an advanced control processor that is uniquely expandable. The IN1608 is the new industry standard for fully integrated AV systems, greatly simplifying system design and installation, and dramatically reducing total cost of ownership.
âThe IN1608 has been extremely popular with our customers and we are very excited to be offering the IN1608 IPCP for delivering total system integration, including control of an entire AV system,â says Casey Hall, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Extron. âThis scaling presentation switcher is now available with a built-in IP Link Pro control processor with the most powerful, advanced capabilities available in a configurable control system. It can even be expanded to create large-scale control systems.â
The IN1608 IPCP features a built-in IP Link Pro control processor, with the same advanced features, processing power, and breakthrough technologies found in the standalone Extron IPCP Pro control processors. The IN1608 IPCP delivers high-speed processing and abundant control port capacity for complete, customizable control of an entire AV system, including all source devices and displays, plus room functions. Simply connect an Extron TouchLink Pro touchpanel to the built-in Gigabit Ethernet switch to create a complete AV control system.
As with all Extron control systems, the IN1608 IPCP is very intuitive and easy to configure with Global Configurator software. The latest version of Global Configurator includes powerful, advanced features such as conditional logic, local variables, and macros. Global Configurator Professional adds unprecedented scalability with Controller Groups, a unique feature that allows an IN1608 IPCP to be combined with additional IP Link Pro processors to create a large-scale control system. This is ideal for controlling multiple systems, rooms, or even remote locations around the world. IN1608 IPCP systems throughout a facility, building, campus, or offices worldwide can be monitored and managed using Extron GlobalViewer Enterprise server-based software.
With the purchase of an Extron LinkLicense with the IN1608 IPCP, a tablet or laptop can serve as the primary control interface for the AV system. A unique benefit of LinkLicense is the ability to use Extron GUI Designer software to design interfaces for specific user roles in an organization. LinkLicense works seamlessly with Extron's TouchLink for iPad app, and allows an interface to be duplicated to many additional devices. It simplifies deployment of AV system control for BYOD with a single license purchase per system and no per-user fees, and allows a standardized BYOD strategy for AV control across an organization.
