This recipe is a steamed dish of prawns rolled in pork and Chinese cabbage. The sauce adds a slight sweetness to the whole thing. For the photograph, I sliced the rolls so that you can see inside, but I normally served them whole.

This dish is a steamed prawn platter with garlic (pickled and regular garlic), the presentation is important for this dish. Thai chefs pride themselves on their excellent presentation (which is often far better than mine!). For this prawn platter you trim the tail of the prawn, cut a slit in the middle of the body and fold the prawn backwards on itself passing the tail through the slit to form a loop. You can see from the photograph, that this makes them open up and gives the garlic sauce more of a chance to flavour the prawns.

4. Pile this chilli mix onto the top of the prawns, make sure you cover the prawns with the juices.
5. Steam for 3 minutes.
These delicious parcels are flavoured with shredded ginger and prawns, and served in a stock soup. The carrots, ginger and celery should be shredded, or sliced very finely, since they need to steam quickly with the rest of the dish.

100 gms Prawns
10 gms Carrot
10 gms Celery
10 gms Ginger Root
100 ml Water
1/2 Chicken Stock Cube

5. Soak the rice papers in warm water until they are soft. This takes only a minute or so.
6. Roll up the prawn mixture in the rice paper into a parcel, and place in a bowl. The bowl should be small enough to fit in your steamer.
7. Steam the prawn rice paper packets for 5 minutes to cook them.
8. For the soup, boil the water in a saucepan with the chicken stock, light soy, sugar and white pepper.
9. The pour over the rice parcels and serve.
Prawns and broccoli in a red curry sauce, in the photograph you can see I like to present the prawns arranged in a pattern with the head and tail of the shell still on. For this recipe you will need Garchai (Kasay, Kachai - the spelling varies), a thai root vegetable used for flavourings. If you can't find it, then you can omit it.
50 gms Broccoli
50 gms Prawn
2 Tablespoons Red Curry Paste
1 Teaspoon Sugar
1 Tablespoon Fish Sauce
2 Tablespoons Oil
1 Tablespoon Chopped Garchai
1 Tablespoon Chopped Kaffir Leaves
1. Clean the prawns, cut down the back and remove the black thread. I like to leave the head and tail shell on.
2. Clean and soak the broccoli in hot water for a few seconds.
3. Put oil into a frying pan and preheat.
4. Add the prawns and fry until they are half cooked, then add the red curry paste and fry for a few seconds to release the curry flavours.
5. Add all the other ingredients and fry for a minute.
6. Add the broccoli and just warm it through, it does not need to be cooked.
Serve With
Thai Fragrant Rice
The sweetcorn in this recipe gives the shrimp loaf some structural stability! Without it, the steamed shrimp loaf has a tendancy to flatten while cooking. This dish is ideal as a table filler at a banquet, if you have some star dishes that are made from shrimp, it's a useful way to use up shrimp trimmings.
100 gms Shrimp
3 Tablespoons Cassava Starch
1 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon White Pepper
2 Garlic Cloves
1 Teaspoon Light Soy Sauce
Baby Corn
20 gms Corn
20 gms Chopped Carrots
20 gms Peas
1. Clean the shrimps, cut down the back and remove the black line, remove and discard all the shell.
2. Into a blender, place the shrimp, peeled garlic, white pepper, salt, cassava starch and light soy sauce.
3. Blend to a medium smooth mixture.
4. Take lumps of this mixture and squeeze it around the baby corn. Place in a plate small enough to go in your steamer.
5. Dice the carrots, and sprinkle some corn, carrots and peas over the top.
6. Steam for 10 minutes.
7. Pour a little more soy sauce over the top and serve.
Strawberries are in season in the northern hemisphere, and this is an interesting way to eat them - as part of a typical Thai spicy salad.
5 Strawberries
2 Tablespoons Fish Sauce
1 Teaspoons Sugar
1 Garlic Cloves
5 Bird Chillies
1 Tablespoon Chopped Spring Onions
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 Tablespoon Chopped Celery
5 Prawns
1. Clean and shell the prawns, cut down the back and remove the black thread. Cut into 1cms pieces.
2. Boil a small pan of water and cook the shrimp in it for 1-2 minutes, they don't take long to cook.
3. Chop the bird chillies, garlic and strawberries, mix together in a bowl with the fish sauce, sugar, lemon juice, chopped spring onions, chopped celery and cooked prawns pieces.
4. Serve.
This dish is intense Thai food! We eat raw shelled shrimp by spooning on a mixture of chillies, garlic, mint and spring onions, a little fish sauce and lemon juice is sprinkled on, and the shrimp is eaten in one go (minus the tail which you bite off). Fish sauce has a strong taste, so does chilli, so does lemon juice, so does garlic, so does mint, and so does celery. Imagine all these strong tastes in one mouthful of fish, you can see why I call it intense food. It's like a Thai version of Sushimi, but we eat it with chillies instead of wasabi.

This is a very simple noodle dish of pork and shrimp, 'Woon Sen' is glass noodle, 'gung' means shrimp, but the important word here is 'op'. We call it 'op', because you layer the ingredients in the frying pan, add a little water and cover the noodles with a lid, the water sort of part-steams, part-fries the noodles. 'Op' refers to this cooking method and there isn't a simple word in English that corresponds to it. A couple of things to note: 1. Use pork with some fat in it for this dish, it will give the dish a lot of extra flavour. 2. Maggi sauce is a savory flavouring sauce that is available worldwide, you should be able to find it easily.

I've eaten these recently, in Shabu-shi in Mega Bangna shopping mall. Calling them shrimp in breadcrumbs doesn't really describe them, they're very very long shrimp in breadcrumbs.
The shrimp are stretched out, and padded with flour and breadcrumbs, so they appear to be very much longer than they are. It takes some practice to turn a short one into a long one, but with shrimp being expensive this is a great way of padding them.
I showed you a trick used to literally stretch expensive shrimp to make them go further. Well here's another popular Thai one, they make this in the restaurant I work in. It's a shrimp, seasoned and wrapped in a layer of egg noodles, then fried. The noodles become crunchy and hold in the flavour of the shrimp, and only a few shrimps are needed to make up a whole meal. Better still, the noodles add crunch and texture, otherwise missing from seafood.
I used garlic seasoning powder Rod-Dee, which is a stock powder that's popular here. But you can use a pinch of pepper, salt, and garlic powder, if you can't get Rod-Dee.
We farm prawns in Thailand, they're grown in large aerated ponds of water and fed with high protein pellets. It's an industrial scale business here, with almost as many ponds as there are rice paddies. Here in Phuket you're never very far from a shrimp farm. Out in the bay, netting marks the bounds of fish farms, underwater fields growing popular fish varieties like Tilapia and Makarel.
So seafood is plentiful and cheap, and a dozed fresh large tiger prawns can be bought for only a few US$. The tourists come for the lobster, which is famous on Phuket, but they pay a premium for it, when tiger prawns offer the same meat, in a more tender form for a lower price.
A favorite way to serve them is just with a little garlic and coriander, it enhances the flavor without swamping it. Watch the video after the break.

Roosevelt Theatre
4739 Frankford Avenue,
3 people favorited this theater
The Roosevelt Theatre opened in 1926 on Frankford Avenue near Oxford Avenue, on the same block as the Frankford Theatre. The Roosevelt Theatre could seat 1,901 and was designed by the firm of Hodgens & Hill (who also designed the Frankford and a number of other theaters around Philadelphia). The Roosevelt Theatre closed in 1962. It was converted into retail use, which had closed by 2014.
Recent comments (view all 6 comments)
The Roosevelt Theatre is still standing, along with Stanley Warner's Circle Theatre, which was one block south. The Frankford Theatre was demolished, and a now-vacant Pearle Vision center stands in the Frankford's site.
I beleive at one point, The Roosevelt and The Frankford were owned by Stanley Warner Theatres, who also owned The Circle Theatre, The Allegheny Theatre, and The Midway Theatre (all which were near the PRT/PTC/SEPTa Market-Frankford Line)
I recall the inside of the theater had little fake porticos all around the sides, making it look like there were small loges or balconies. I saw "Gone with the Wind" here on a re-run sometime in the 50s.
was this the theater that closed and was a Sears Surplus store in the 70's and 80's?
My paternal grandmother played the organ for silent movies at the Roosevelt Theatre during the theatre's early years. Cathryn Bircher Cooper. She'd studied music in New York. She had to improvise to what she saw on the movie screen. I never met her. She died in her mid 30's in the mid-1930's when my father was a boy.
September 2014 Google Street View: Building is now vacant, available for lease as retail or office space.

SNC-Lavalin claims seizure before judgment against one former employee
MONTREAL, July 11, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - SNC-Lavalin (TSX: SNC) has filed a motion for damages against its former Executive Vice-President, Riadh Ben Aissa, a former consultant, Cynthia Vanier and her company, Vanier Consulting Ltd.
The motion filed by SNC-Lavalin against Ben Aissa, Vanier and Vanier Consulting Ltd., allege that these parties conspired with SNC-Lavalin's former Vice-President, Stephane Roy, to commit illegal acts for funds belonging to SNC-Lavalin Inc. were diverted and used without permission. Among other evidence to support this claim, the company has alleged emails exchanged between Vanier, Roy and Ben Aissa during 2011.
The court granted the company's request for a seizure before judgment of Riadh Ben Aissa's shares in SNC-Lavalin Inc. currently held by the Computershare Trust Company of Canada. The company is seeking that these shares be used to satisfy a portion of the damages incurred. The company is also seeking further damages from Ben Aissa, Vanier and her consulting company. A separate claim was previously made against Stephane Roy in April 2013.
SNC-Lavalin is one of the leading engineering and construction groups in the world and a major player in the ownership of infrastructure, and in the provision of operations and maintenance services. Founded in 1911, SNC-Lavalin has offices across Canada and in over 40 other countries around the world, and is currently active in some 100 countries. www.snclavalin.com

Gender Inequality: Salary Gap Widens Between German Men and Women
According to Germany's Federal Statistical Office, average hourly wages for women in Germany are 23.2 percent lower than they are for men, and the gap is growing. The European Commission is now demanding that Germany take action.
European Justice Commissioner Viviane Reding presents the results for the Eurobarometer on Gender Equality in Brussels on March 5, 2010.
When it comes to equal pay, Germany has regular protests, plenty of initiatives and even an anti-discrimination law. Even so, the salary gap between men and women continues to widen -- with women getting the short end of the stick. On Friday, Germany's Federal Statistical Office in the western city of Wiesbaden published figures showing that average gross hourly earnings for women in 2008 were 23.2 percent lower than they were for men.
What's more, the gender pay gap in Germany is much wider than the European Union average of 18 percent. Out of the other 26 EU member states, the gap was only wider in Estonia (most recent figures, 2007: 30.3 percent), the Czech Republic (26.2 percent), Austria (25.5 percent) and the Netherlands (most recent figures, 2007: 23.6 percent).
The EU countries with the narrowest gender-related income gaps, on the other hand, were Italy (4.9 percent), Slovenia (8.5 percent), Romania and Belgium (with 9 percent each), and Malta and Portugal (with 9.2 percent each).
At the same time, the figures do not reflect income differences for men and women in the same position, performing comparable tasks and with corresponding education levels. Among the causes for the discrepancy are the facts that more women work part-time jobs, there is a higher proportion of women in low-paying jobs and women are often denied access to management positions.
An "Unacceptable" Situation
On Friday, Reding presented the findings of the Eurobarometer poll on Gender Equality at a meeting in Brussels. "I am deeply concerned that the gender pay gap has barely fallen over the last 15 years and, in some countries, it is ever increasing," she said. "In these times of crisis, the gender pay gap is a cost Europe cannot afford." Quoting studies, she told Die Welt that closing the gender pay gap could lead to a 30 percent increase in GDP.
Reding added that she was determined to address income inequality between men and women as quickly as possible. "As long as I'm in office," she told the newspaper, "I am going to do everything I can to work with member states on significantly narrowing the gender pay gap in the EU." Such measures could include raising awareness among employers, encouraging initiatives to promote gender equality and supporting the development of tools to measure the gender pay gap. At Friday's meeting, she also noted that she does not rule out introducing new legislation to help narrow the gap.

It may feel like summer outside, but many stores are showing styles for cooler weather. According to Lucky magazine's style editor, Laurel Pantin, here are some tips and trends to help your wardrobe look "clean and fresh for fall." THE SANTA FE LOOK " "It's a little bit Southwestern-inspired, with a Native American influence, blanket coats, and Pendleton prints." Also, Pantin's forecast for outerwear trends: woolly coats; shearling; a bit of a "'70s ski lodge" look, including Fair Isle sweaters.
Kylie Jenner's hair evolution continues and she rocks out for a second weekend at Coachella. The 17-year-old Keeping Up With the Kardashians star, who has her own hair extensions line and has changed her look many times, debuted a baby pink hairstyle (possibly a wig) in new Instagram photos posted on Friday. The natural brunette paired her new pink 'do with a white cut-out sports bra-like top and tan, high-waisted short shorts and a matching cap and lace-up boots. She is also seen in a selfie with friends, covered up in a khaki jacket.
Recognize Rainey Qualley? She might look familiar from Mad Men—she played Cindy, the fur-coat wearing model Don Draper (undressed with his eyes earlier this season. Or if you happened to be in Nashville last month, you might have seen her opening up for Willie Nelson at the Ryman. The 25-year-old country singer chatted exclusively with E! News ahead of Sunday's ACM Awards, and as it turns out, she's not the only famous one in her family: Her sister Margaret Qualley stars on the HBO series The Leftovers, and their mom is actress Andie MacDowell!
The Saiyan Island YouTube channel has a four-minute preview trailer for Dragon Ball Z Resurrection F, which features a battle between Frieza and Goku. After peace returned to Earth following the battle with God of Destruction Beerus in the previous movie, surviving remnants of Frieza's forces, Sorbet and Tagoma, approach the planet, seeking the Dragon Balls. Their objective is to revive Frieza in order to bring his forces back to power.
As evidenced by this photo -- and, you know, life in general -- Selena Gomez is absolutely gorgeous ... and she's apparently happy with herself these days, too, because in posting the photo, she captioned it, "I love being happy with me, yall ," hashtagging it #theresmoretolove. We don't really know if there's more to love or not -- that's some information to whom Selena's primarily privy -- but in either case (in any case, to be honest), it's so good to see Selena enjoying herself and being healthy inside and out. There just might be hope for a Disney star after all, huh?
This week, General Motors prevailed in a very important court case. According to Auto News, a U.S. bankruptcy judge has ruled that the automaker's 2009 restructuring shields it from a number of lawsuits stemming from last year's Switchgate fiasco. Unfortunately for GM, that may not be the end of the story. 2014 was a rough year for GM. It started off nicely, as the company reveled in the appointment of Mary Barra as CEO -- the first woman to hold such a position at a major automaker. In February, though, things went South, when GM recalled more than a million older vehicles for faulty ignition switches. Dozens of other recalls followed -- some related, some not -- and by the time we toasted the arrival of 2015, the automaker had recalled more than 30 million vehicles worldwide.

You want to wrap the selected text inside ...?
Maybe the 'formatblock' command will work for that. Otherwise you will have to get the currently selected text and use InsertHTML to insert the span including that text (see HTMLEditor plugins for example).

The BlogRyan: We Need to Cut Fat, Not BoneObama "is holding the defense budget hostage for higher taxes."2:14 PM, Jun 12, 2013
• By JEFFREY H. ANDERSON
During his opening remarks at today's House Budget Committee hearing on the Department of Defense and the 2014 budget, Paul Ryan said, "The first duty of government is to keep us safe. And to keep us safe, our strategy should drive our budget. But under this administration, the budget is driving the strategy." With Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, there to testify, Ryan continued: "Last year, Secretary Panetta made a budget request [that] he said was the minimum necessary to execute the President's strategy. He said there was 'little room' for cuts if we wanted our troops to fulfill their mission. "This year's budget request covers the same mission. But over the next ten years, it's about $120 billion lower than last year's request. And so far, there's been no explanation. Have we changed our strategy? "Now, the Defense department isn't immune to waste. There's room for improvement. Every agency must use taxpayer dollars wisely.... "The Defense Business Board has suggested a number of ways to improve the department. I want to commend their hard work—and encourage you to act on their recommendations. "That said, national security is a priority. Defense has borne half the burden of deficit reduction. And the President wants to cut even more. This year, the House budget provides the same amount of defense funding the President requested last year. Yet the President opposes our proposal. The President is holding the defense budget hostage for higher taxes and more spending. "These days, every part of government needs to be more efficient. But even as we try to cut the fat, we have to be sure not to cut bone." Recent Blog PostsThe Weekly Standard ArchivesBrowse 19 Years of the Weekly Standard |

Women and the Evolution of World Politics
Francis Fukuyama is Hirst Professor of Public Policy at George Mason University. His book, The Great Disruption, will be published in 1999.

In the world's largest captive chimp colony at the Burger's Zoo in Arnhem, Netherlands, a struggle worthy of Machiavelli unfolded during the late 1970s. As described by primatologist Frans de Waal, the aging alpha male of the colony, Yeroen, was gradually unseated from his position of power by a younger male, Luit. Luit could not have done this on the basis of his own physical strength, but had to enter into an alliance with Nikkie, a still younger male. No sooner was Luit on top, however, than Nikkie turned on him and formed a coalition with the deposed leader to achieve dominance himself. Luit remained in the background as a threat to his rule, so one day he was murdered by Nikkie and Yeroen, his toes and testicles littering the floor of the cage.
Jane Goodall became famous studying a group of about 30 chimps at the Gombe National Park in Tanzania in the 1960s, a group she found on the whole to be peaceful. In the 1970s, this group broke up into what could only be described as two rival gangs in the northern and southern parts of the range. The biological anthropologist Richard Wrangham with Dale Peterson in their 1996 book Demonic Males describes what happened next. Parties of four or five males from the northern group would go out, not simply defending their range, but often penetrating into the rival group's territory to pick off individuals caught alone or unprepared. The murders were often grisly, and they were celebrated by the attackers with hooting and feverish excitement. All the males and several of the females in the southern group were eventually killed, and the remaining females forced to join the northern group. The northern Gombe chimps had done, in effect, what Rome did to Carthage in 146 B.C.: extinguished its rival without a trace.

المعارضة اللبنانية تنضم إلى الاتحادات العمالية في الاحتجاجات المعادية للحكومة
Lebanese opposition joins labor unions in anti-government protest
Associated Press Worldstream
January 9, 2007 Tuesday 12:48 PM GMT
Lebanon 's Hezbollah-led opposition joined labor unions on Tuesday in a protest against tax increases proposed by embattled Prime Minister Fuad Saniora, stepping up pressure to force the government into resigning.
The demonstration outside the Finance Ministry's taxation department in central Beirut was called for by labor unions after Saniora proposed to increase taxes as part of a government economic reform plan ahead of an international donors' conference in Paris later this month.
But what started as purely labor demands quickly turned into another political battle between the opposition and the government, further deepening political divisions and even splitting the labor unions.
Pro-government labor groups stayed away from Tuesday's sit-in, while the Hezbollah-led opposition decided to escalate its ongoing street protests to bring down the government.
Hundreds of combat troops and riot police deployed the demonstration to prevent trouble. Witnesses said soldiers and security forces outnumbered the protesters.
Army Commander Gen. Michel Suleiman was quoted by the As-Safir daily newspaper Tuesday as saying the military would protect demonstrators, but also warning that the army "will never allow the storming of any public or official institution or a private institution."
Witnesses said some 1,500 unionists, waving Lebanese and opposition party flags, demonstrated about 200 meters (yards) from the Finance Ministry department. Police would not disclose its estimate of the number of protesters.
"The value added tax will further impoverish the poor. No to the imposition of new taxes," read one of the placards carried by protesters. Another placard read, "Saniora is responsible for impoverishing Lebanon ."
Union speakers lashed out at the taxes, describing the economic program as "disastrous" to workers and farmers. They also criticized government plans to privatize public utilities, such as the electricity company and the telecommunications sector.
Tuesday's protest came after the government endorsed a sweeping economic reform plan in a bid to attract foreign financial assistance much needed after the Hezbollah-Israel war in the summer worsened Lebanon 's economic woes, destroying many infrastructures.
The plan, unveiled by Saniora last week, would be presented to an international donors' conference scheduled in Paris on Jan. 25 to drum up financial aid and soft loans to help Lebanon cope with a soaring public debt and revitalize the struggling economy.
The plan envisages a privatization program directed primarily at increasing investment and reducing public debt estimated at more than US$40 billion (euro30.52 billion) twice the country's Gross Domestic Product.
Saniora indicated that the program also includes unpopular measures such as an increase in the value added tax on goods and services from 10 to 12 percent and fuel price hikes. The steps would be implemented in 2008.
Ghassan Ghosn, president of the largest Lebanese union confederation, said Tuesday's protest would be followed by street demonstrations and strikes if the government does not drop the proposed tax increases.
Addressing the crowd, Ghosn called for a new demonstration outside the Energy Ministry on Wednesday. He said Tuesday's protest was an "alarm bell" to be followed by other actions until the unions' demands are met.
The unions' move came as the Hezbollah-led opposition has decided to escalate its ongoing street protests against the prime minister after Saniora rejected its demand for a national unity government that would give Hezbollah and its allies veto power on key Cabinet decisions.
Supporters of the opposition have camped out in central Beirut since Dec. 1, turning the area into a city of tents where thousands of people gather daily, shouting anti-government slogans less than 100 meters (yards) from the government building where Saniora has been living under tight security, refusing to step down.
Opposition groups decided Monday to stage daily marches outside ministries and public facilities as part of its stepped up campaign.
حزب الله يعيد تسلحه بينما الأمم المتحدة وإسرائيل تقف في جواره
Hezbollah rearming as UN stands by: Israel
Agence France Presse -- English
January 9, 2007 Tuesday 1:39 PM GMT
Israel's military intelligence chief claimed Tuesday that Lebanon's Hezbollah is rearming itself following last summer's war with Israel and that a UN peacekeeping force is doing nothing to stop it.
"Hezbollah has almost totally rebuilt its arsenal of rockets and arms," Major General Amos Yadlin was quoted by army radio as telling the parliamentary foreign affairs and defense committee.
"The traffic of arms from Iran and Syria destined for Hezbollah is continuing and the UN peacekeeping force is doing nothing to disarm Hezbollah," he added.
Hezbollah, which Israel and the United States claim is armed by Damascus and Tehran , touched off the 34-day war when its guerrillas captured two Israeli soldiers in a cross-border raid in July.
The Jewish state responded with a deadly assault on Lebanon , while Hezbollah fired thousands of rockets at northern Israel .
The UN Security Council adopted a resolution in August that led to a ceasefire and the beefing up of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon , giving it a mandate to assist the goverment in disarming militias.
But Yuval Steinitz, a member of the parliamentary committee, told army radio that "Hezbollah is rebuilding its forces and again threatening (the northern city of) Haifa and northern Israel ".
محاكمة ميشيل كيلو في 23 كانون الثاني
Syrian opposition's Kilo to go on trial Jan 23
January 9, 2007 Tuesday 2:15 PM GMT
Leading opposition figure and writer Michel Kilo is to go on trial on January 23 before a criminal court in the Syrian capital, defence lawyer Khalil Maatuk said Tuesday.
Kilo and communist activist Mahmud Issa both lost appeals in December for charges against them to be dropped for allegedly publishing false information and provoking dissent.
Issa will go on trial the same day, along with two other activists, Khalil Hussein and Suleiman al-Shummar, who are on the run, Maatuk said.
Kilo and Issa were arrested in May along with eight others for signing a petition calling for Syrian recognition of Lebanon 's independence.
They were accused of provoking religious and racial dissent, insulting official institutions, trying to "weaken national sentiment," damaging the image of the state and exposing Syria to the danger of aggression, the National Organisation for Human Rights in Syria said.
Issa is also charged with inciting a foreign country to attack Syria , it said.
The trial of lawyer Anwar Bunni, who was arrested with Kilo and Issa, opened in October and is due to resume on January 21. The other seven arrested last May were released.
اتفاقية التجارة الحرة بين سورية وتركيا أصبحت سارية المفعول
Syria-Turkey free trade agreement takes effect
January 9, 2007 Tuesday 2:02 PM GMT
A free trade agreement between Syria and Turkey to promote commerce and investment between the two countries came into effect on January 1, the official SANA news agency reported on Tuesday.
"This important accord will boost commercial exchanges" after the elimination of customs barriers, Syrian Deputy Economy and Trade Minister Ghassan Habash was quoted as saying.
He added that it would open "vast prospects for cooperation and investment" in the two countries, the agency said.
The agreement stipulates progressive customs exemptions for industrial goods, but does not apply to agricultural products such as cotton and grain.
Turkey 's investment in Syria , currently running at 400 million dollars a year, is expected to rise to 700 million dollars annually after the implementation of the agreement.
Turkish investment centres on Syria 's textiles, construction, cement and food sectors, as well as tourism, SANA said.
والد الوزير المقتول اتهم مجموعة سورية محترفة بقتل ابنه
Father of slain minister accuses pro Syrian group
Deutsche Presse-Agentur
January 9, 2007 Tuesday 4:25 PM EST
The father of slain minister Pierre Gemayel accused Tuesday a pro Syrian group of killing of his son last November.
During a press conference, former president Amin Gemayel recalled that the National Syrian Socialist Party (NSSP) killed his brother former president-elect Bashir Gemayel in 1982.
Nine days before he was due to take office, Bashir Gemayel was assassinated along with 25 others in an explosion at the Phalangist Party headquarters in Achrafieh on September 14, 1982 .
Habib Shartouni, a member of the NSSP confessed, to the crime and was arrested and handed over to the authorities. He was imprisoned in the Roumieh Central prison, but was released in October 1990 by the Syrian army, in what many consider an illegal move.
Amin Gemayel, who currently heads the party, said the network which was uncovered by Lebanese security forces last month and the explosives that were found in an area north of Lebanon "belong to the NSSP."
"The group was planning to carry an attack on the Phalangist Party during a ceremony in 2005 shortly before the assassination of former premier Rafik Hariri," Gemayel said, adding, "A failure in the timer of the bomb foiled their attempt at the time."
"If we link what we saw in the confiscated material and some information we obtained and we will keep now for ourselves to safeguard the ongoing investigation in my son's assassination. We have the right to wonder, if this attack is linked in a way or another with my son's killing."
Gemayel, 34, a former deputy and a minister in the anti-Syrian cabinet of premier Fouad Seniora was gunned down on November 21 in broad daylight by unidentified gunmen in a Christian neighbourhood of Beirut .
المجموعة السورية تلوم النظام في مسألة اللاجئين في العراق
Syrian group blames regime for refugees
January 9, 2007 Tuesday 12:11 PM EST
A London-based Syrian human rights group is blaming the Syrian regime for the abuse and murder of scores of Syrian refugees in Iraq .
The Syrian Human Rights Monitor said in a statement Tuesday the reason why many Syrians in Iraq have been killed by death squads and others thrown in prisons in Baghdad is because the Damascus regime refuses to heed appeals to issue an amnesty for Syrian refugees in Iraq .
The group again called on President Bashar Assad to quickly issue an amnesty and allow them to return to their homes "because their conditions have reached a crucial and dangerous point that threatens their entire existence."
It added that Iraqi "death squads" Tuesday arrested several prominent Syrian dissidents in central Baghdad , including the head of the opposition Syrian Committee for Democratic Action, Mohammad Bakour, who also heads the Syrian refugees' affairs in Iraq .
The group said these people "have nothing to do with armed activities," and that their arrest was linked to Bakour's statements last week that eight Syrian refugees were killed by death squads in Baghdad .
The rights organization also appealed to the U.N. High Commission for Refugees and international rights groups to carry out their moral responsibilities towards the Syrian refugees in Iraq by pressuring the "concerned parties to find quick solutions before more innocent people fall."
Dozens of Syrian families sought refuge in neighboring Iraq after the Baath Party split into two rival groups in 1966, just as many Iraqis sought asylum in Syria , where the Baathists continue to rule today.
The Baath Party in Iraq collapsed with Saddam Hussein's regime in April 2003, less than a month after U.S.-led forces invaded the country.
The targeting of Syrian refugees in Iraq today is widely seen as acts of vengeance against former regime supporters.

You asked for http://vonforell.com/German-Shepherds/hassan-vom-gruntal.html, but despite our computers looking very hard, we could not find it. What happened ?
- the link you clicked to arrive here has a typo in it
- or somehow we removed that page, or gave it another name
