Does anyone grow produce and sell at any farmers markets in their area. I'd like to know
what your experience has been with that mode of selling locally.
I belong to three in my area and they are all vendor run and vendor oriented; if there are officers and boards they serve the vendors.

I sell at a couple of farmers markets in New Mexico. I got my start selling there, and quickly I learned that it's only part of the puzzle for making a living growing food. Until I developed some wholesale markets, I wasn't really making it financially. It's a great stepping stone on the way to bigger things, but I always caution new growers about thinking it's the complete marketing solution. Often there are gluts at farmers markets where all the growers have the same produce at the same time. This means that everyone goes home with unsold produce, and sometimes means a price drop too. My long-term goal is to eliminate farmers markets from what I do. I've been doing them for over 10 years.
I find the markets are very taxing on me. There's a day of harvesting and packing; a day of setup, selling, and teardown, and hopefully putting everything away; then a day of recovery. Mostly farmers are too tired after getting back on the farm to unload the truck. So the next day includes unpacking and resting up. After spending half a day talking to 200+ people at the market while 1000s walk by, I'm not able to be social the rest of the day. So while the market appears half a day long, it really ends up being 3.
Organizationally, to really serve farmers' interests the market must be run exclusively by actual growers. Here in NM we've had to carefully manage who can sell at the markets. Customers come to the market with a certain amount of cash in their pockets, so we've worked hard to make sure that all the produce vendors are bona fide growers, not resellers, so that farmers are competing only against each other and not big ag. The markets allow a very limited amount of craftspeople and bakers, to fill out the offerings a little, and to have a larger presence on the shoulder seasons early and late, when less produce is available.

I partnered with a vegetable farm two years ago and we had stands at a few Toronto markets. Overall I thought it was worth while but of course you have some weeks where you wonder why the hell you're doing this...usually due to bad weather. I also found it hard to get a balance between growing what people want, and NOT growing too much of the same stuff as the others at the market. I did appreciate the social interaction and the weekly culture injection of Canadas largest city.
One major drawba(besides travel and setup time) was trying to introduce new varieties of standard veggies, and new types of vegetables altogether (especially
wild edibles
). People seemed to tend to have a hasty attitude when at the farmers markets we did, and didn't really read signs or be willing to consider buying the more 'exotic' items. I will say that a small segment of those who came to us were quite thrilled at either the prospect of a new veggie, or excited that they could finally find things like garlic greens, or wild spinach, or a bunch of multi coloured carrots.
The other biggest drawback to my mind is the need to have picture perfect, clean as a whistle grade A produce with top notch presentation. I know its important for food to look good but its still a pain in the ass when I consider alternatives like CSA foodbox programs, and selling to restaurants who are usually fine with B grade stuff and still willing to pay top price.

I worked a roadside stand all summer, but in order to make a real
, I had to sell a lot of stuff that was from the produce terminal in the city. It's hard to grow enough produce to supply the stand from April until November. Actually damn near impossible. But, I was certainly surprised with the profits. At the same time, I was disappointed that the quality of some of the produce coming through the terminal was less than desirable. For relatively little overhead, it's a decent cash business.

I did Farmer's Markets in NH for about three years, mostly to sell my (then) husband's honey -- he was usually working on the weekends. But I also sold baked goods for a while, until the state cracked down on selling stuff from unlicensed kitchens; some flowers and produce, whatever we had extra from our kitchen garden and gladiolas grown especially for market; and eggs from our
. What I found was that there would have been too much competition for us to sell produce; baked goods did very well while we were allowed to sell them; and nobody ever had enough eggs to last the whole day. Honey was a slow seller, but I almost always managed to sell some of it. Problem is that most people only use small amounts of honey (we had a neighbor who bought two buckets of honey from us every year -- I think that was the only sweetener they used), so even a small jar lasts a long time. The gladiolas did very well the first year we sold them, because we were usually the only ones who had them, but then a couple of the produce growers got the idea and there were more glads than buyers, so we all had to drop our prices. Supply and demand at work, there. The people who had berries always sold out.
So, if I was going to do it again, I would have eggs and berries for sure; probably some flowers; and baked goods if I could legally sell them. There is still plenty of work involved in these items, but it's not quite as bad as having to pick, clean, and chill a whole truck full of greens and other vegetables, pack them, unpack and arrange them, weigh, sell and bag them, and then take what's left home at the end of the day and probably dump most of it into the chicken coop or pig pen. Oh, and a lady who sold pastured poultry was doing quite well by the last year that I did the market -- it was slow getting started, but she was developing a good client base, I think.

Yes, I know, and we thought about that, but if we'd gone that route, we would really have needed to turn the little part-time business (very part-time) into a full-time business, and we had too many other things going on that we felt were more important at that time (such as getting my two older daughters through their last years of high school).
Now, if I had one or two family members able and willing to help, I'd go for it, but it was too much to ask of a couple of teens in their final years of high school. And no way would I hire people for a 'job' -- it would have to be a partnership type of operation, so it would have to be family or extremely trusted friends.

Maybe its just too much hard work to be a shop keeper and a producer.
In spain they make noughat with honey and ground almonds called turron, deliciouse and expensive, that could be a way to sell honey.
I remember the flower market in holland sold flowers i did not expect to find in shops like big bunches of lupins. rose

It is difficult to be both 'shop keeper' (vendor at the farmers market) and producer. They require different skill sets and personalities. Some people do well at both, others are more inclined one way or the other. However, a large part of the problem is increasing government regulation making it more and more difficult for small producers to retail what they grow or make. It's discouraging. I'd love to have a small goat cheese operation, but the cost to set up and comply with all the regulations is prohibitive.

I'm not a collector of jerseys. I only buy ones that I use in different occasion. Short sleeve for warm weather, long sleeve for cold weather, light reflecting jersey(Illuminite) for night riding.
I see in the catalogs, there are many different kind of sleeveless jerseys. I'm wondering, is it any better in warm weather than short sleeve jersey? Is it cooler, less restrictive? Does it make sense to get one even you already have a short sleeve jersey?
I'd like to hear the opinions from those have used it for a while.

Here is a collection of several of the questions we received during the SBS 2003 R2 Fast Track Series Session 3 sessions along with their answers. If you have not attended the sessions yet, be sure to go to: http://www.msreadiness.com and search for "Fast Track" to register for the 4 different tracks we are offering in the series or view the already recorded sessions from last week or this week.
Q&A Log
1) Can you install pieces of SBS on 2 or more Physical Servers? Windows Server on one box and Exchange on another?
a. ANSWER: No, you cannot split the server components of an SBS license across multiple servers. The SBS Server components must be installed on one server. You can also find this answer in Question #24 of "The 30 in 30" series we posted.
2) If I have SBS 2003 R2, can I load SQL 2000 instead of SQL 2005 Workgroup Edition?
a. ANSWER: If you have an SBS 2003 R2 license, you can downgrade the entire SBS Premium Suite to SBS 2003 Premium SP1 which would allow you to run Windows Server 2003 SP1, Exchange Server 2003, ISA 2004 and SQL 2000 or you can choose to not downgrade the whole Premium Suite and run SBS 2003 R2, Exchange Server 2003, ISA 2004 and SQL 2005 Workgroup Edition. You cannot downgrade just one component of the suite. You can also find this answer in Question #32 of "The 30 in 30" series we posted.
3) Does 5 User CAL = concurrent usage? i.e. you could have 6 users but no more than 5 concurrent?
a. ANSWER: No, there is no concurrent usage of SBS CALs. So, if you have 5 User CALs, 5 Users can access the SBS Server. If you add a 6th User, you would need to purchase an additional SBS User CAL for that User.
4) The speaker mentioned this 4 fasttrack webcast are available on demand... is that correct..if so what id the link?
a. ANSWER: If you have not attended these sessions yet, be sure to go to: http://www.msreadiness.com and search for "Fast Track" to register for the 4 different tracks we are offering in the series or view the already recorded sessions from last week or this week.
5) When someone buys OEM licenses, then adds SA to that purchase - is that transferable if the PC dies or is upgraded?
a. ANSWER: If you add Software Assurance to an OEM Server or OEM Office license within 90 days of purchase, then the OEM Server or OEM Office license is transferable with the Software Assurance to a new PC. If you add Software Assurance to an OEM Windows license within 90 days, the Software Assurance is transferable to a new PC; however, the OEM Windows license is NEVER transferable to a new PC. If you do not add Software Assurance to your OEM Server or Office licenses within 90 days, then they remain OEM licenses and cannot be transferred to a new PC. You can find this on slide #40 from today's Session #3
6) Do the volume licenses apply to upgrades only or can you put volume licenses on new computers? It was our understanding that volume licenses were for upgrade use only.
a. ANSWER: You can purchase full Server and Office licenses through Volume License for your PCs and servers. The only item you cannot purchase a full license for through Volume Licensing is your Windows Desktop Operating System which there are only Upgrades available for through Volume Licensing. The only way to purchase a full Windows Desktop Operating System is OEM with a new PC or via Retail Box.
7) Under Open Business and Open Value...do you own the license rights to the product in perpetuity...ie after the 2 or 3 years of the program?
a. ANSWER: Yes, licenses purchased through Open Business and Open Value are perpetual licenses and do not expire. The only things that expire at the end of the 2 or 3 year terms are your Software Assurance benefits which you can choose to renew when they expire. You can also find this answer in Question #5 of "The 30 in 30" series we posted.
8) Can customers sign up for Open Value when using Microsoft Financing?
a. ANSWER: ABSOLUTELY! Yes, you can definitely use Microsoft Financing for Open Value orders for your customers. Just be sure to sell your customers the 3 years up-front payment SKU instead of the split payment SKU when using MS Financing since MS Financing will split the payments over three years for you. Then you receive your full Open Value amounts up front and your customer gets the benefits of monthly payments for their Open Value purchase. For instance, with the Small Business Desktop Advantage, you would use part # B6K-00050 (up front payment) instead of B6K-00052 (spread payments) if you were processing the order through Microsoft Financing.
9) Who does the customer pay for Open Value? Do I have to collect payments?
a. ANSWER: You purchase the Year 1 SKU through your distributor (i.e. Ingram, Tech Data, Synnex, D&H, etc.) and sell it to your customer. Your customer pays you, you pay your distributor. It works like any other transaction you process through distribution. For years 2 & 3, Microsoft emails a reminder to the distributor, you, and your customer that the annual payments are coming due, at which point you purchase the Year 2 SKU through your distributor (i.e. Ingram, Tech Data, Synnex, D&H, etc.) and sell it to your customer. Your customer pays you, you pay your distributor. You can view this on Page 3 of the "Partner Guide to Open Value" in the Partner Resources section of the Small Business Desktop Sales Kit that was sent to every Microsoft Small Business Specialist. The Sales Kit is also available by clicking the link above and accessing it through the Small Business Specialist Exclusive website.
10) What is the best licensing choice for a 501(c)3 not for profit? They use techsoup.
a. ANSWER: The Open License Charity Program is designed for 501(c)3 organizations. If you are not already an Open License Charity provider (no, we are not taking any applications for new ones), then Techsoup is a very good provider to help them facilitate their needs. You could also contact one of the Authorized Open License Charity providers listed on the Open License Charity Program web page to see about partnering with them.
11) Is it only Office Pro for the Home use benefits of Software Assurance, or any version?
a. The Home Use Rights benefit of Software Assurance provides a license of Office Professional for use at home. You could install just the components of Pro if you only wanted Word or Excel for instance. You can find out more that the Home Use Software Assurance Benefits website.
12) As a small shop, I don't have a lot of time to spend figuring out which of these many options is right for each customer (let alone, keeping up with program changes!). Is there a resource I can use where I can tell someone the customer's scenario and they can tell me which option would be right?
a. ANSWER: You should leverage the Microsoft Volume Licensing desks at your distributors for assistance with these scenarios. They should be able to provide you with the answers you are looking for. If you are a Microsoft Small Business Specialist and you have questions about the Small Business Desktop Advantage license, I will be conducting weekly sales forums in the near future where we will go through those questions regarding the Small Business Desktop Advantage offer. You can register for these forums on the Microsoft Small Business Specialist Exclusive website as these forums will only be available to Microsoft Small Business Specialists as a benefit of the SBSC Program.
13) If they allow their SA to lapse, can they still transfer the license to new hardware?
a. ANSWER: Yes, they still have the Volume Licensing rights, which include transfer rights. They would just lose their Software Assurance benefits.
14) How many years can you renew the SA benefits on an Open Value purchase?
a. ANSWER: The Open Value Program is a 3 Year program, so you would renew your Software Assurance benefits for three years.
15) We still have not seen this Small Business Desktop Kit and yes we are SBSC, who do we call?
a. ANSWER: You can access the Small Business Desktop Sales Kit online on the Small Business Specialist Exclusive website or go to the Small Business Specialist Exclusive website and click the "Contact us" button to send them your information to let them know you did not receive it.
16) If a company already has an open license, sold by a different vendor, can they purchase additional licenses from my company?
a. ANSWER: Yes, you would need to provide the Open License Authorization # to the distributor at time of purchase so they know to add the licenses to that Agreement.
17) Is some kind of licensing tool built into the SBS assessment toolkit?
a. ANSWER: No, there is not currently a licensing component built into the SBS Assessment Toolkit. The toolkit is designed to let you have a business and technology discussion with your clients to determine where they are going with their business and then that information would be applied by you to determine which licensing programs/options would be best for them.
18) Is there an option to do the Small Business Desktop without SBS CAL for not SBS customers?
a. ANSWER: You can do an Open Value Company-wide Agreement for just the Office Small Business Edition or just the Windows XP Pro Upgrade; however, because of the price discounts built into the Small Business Desktop Advantage, it costs less to purchase the Small Business Desktop Advantage with the SBS CAL than it does to purchase the Company-Wide options for the Office SBE and Windows XP Pro Upgrades independently. There is an option called the Desktop Pro which is a Company-wide offering through Open Value that provides a Windows XP Pro Upgrade, and Office Professional License and a Core CAL license with 3 years of Software Assurance with an ERP of $1,31 each if your customer would be a better fit for the Core CAL. It is Part # A07-00256 with split payment or Part # A07-00254 for up-front payments (if using Microsoft Financing) if you are interested in that option.
19) When utilizing the transition pack to get end-users out of SBS 2003, do we need to purchase user cals for Exchange for example?
a. ANSWER: Once you apply the Transition Pack, you will need to either apply CAL Transition Packs to your 5 & 20 packs of SBS CALs or purchase independent Server CALs (i.e. Windows Server CALs, Exchange Server CALs, SQL Server CALs, etc.) for the individual servers you bring online. You can see the part #s for the Transition packs HERE.
20) Does Small Business Desktop Advantage have to be used only with SBS R2?
a. ANSWER: No, not at all. Since the Small Business Desktop Advantage is a Volume Licensing offer, you have full downgrade rights, so it the SBS CAL that is included allows you the rights to access an SBS 2003 R2, SBS 2003, SBS 2000, or older SBS Server. In addition, if one of the PCs in your company cannot run Office 2003 Small Business Edition for instance, with the downgrade rights, you could install Office XP Small Business Edition instead. Or maybe a PC does not support Windows XP Professional but could run Windows 2000 Pro, you could use the Upgrade portion of the Small Business Desktop Advantage to upgrade the existing O/S to Windows 2000 Pro instead.
21) When will Open type licenses be available for upgrades rather than just full license?
a. ANSWER: Version Upgrades and Upgrade Advantage used to be available through Volume Licensing; however, they were replaced with Software Assurance back several years ago. There is no current plan to re-introduce Version Upgrades to Volume Licensing since Software Assurance is the Upgrade path through Volume Licensing.
22) If a company buys licenses under open value and at the end of their three year term they choose to renew SA on that contract what happens when they need new licenses? Do they enter into a new Open Value agreement that will require a minimum of 5 licenses?
a. ANSWER: When they renew their Software Assurance, that would create their new Open Value Agreement # for another 3 years, so they could just add any additional items to it at any point during that term.
23) Can you mix User and Device Cals?
a. ANSWER: Yes, you can purchase User and Device CALs for the same network. Just remember to keep track of which Users have User CALs and which Devices have Device CALs.
24) Do printers count as a Device CAL?
a. ANSWER: No, printers do not count as Device CALs. You can also find this answer in Question #3 of "The 30 in 30" series we posted.
25) Does a member server require 1 device cal or 1 user cal?
a. ANSWER: No, member servers themselves do not require a CAL they are servers and not clients. You can also find this answer in Question #11 of "The 30 in 30" series we posted.
26) Is there an upgrade path from SBS 2003 to SBS 2003 R2?
a. Yes, there are upgrades from SBS 2003 to SBS 2003 R2 through the Retail Box channel or if your customer has Software Assurance for their SBS Server, then they automatically receive rights to SBS 2003 R2. You can find out more about the Retail upgrades HERE.
27) What are the license requirements for a cold DR server under SBS and SBS R2?
a. ANSWER: You can find out all of the details on the Cold Backup Disaster Recovery Software Assurance Benefit page.
28) Can you please explain what comes with Software Assurance.
a. ANSWER: You can view all of the Software Assurance information on the Software Assurance page online. I would highly recommend downloading the "Benefits Comparison Chart" on that page located on the right-hand side under "Software Assurance Resources."
29) Is there an easy and accurate way to find out if a customer's SA is expiring?
a. ANSWER: Yes, log into the MVLS website for Open Value or the eOpen website for Open Business and look at the Agreement. It will list the Agreement expiration date on it.
30) Is the small business desktop advantage a companywide option only?
a. ANSWER: Yes, you must purchase (1) Small Business Desktop Advantage for every computer in the company. With the volume discounts, it can often be less expensive than only purchasing some of the included software for some PCs, especially if you are upgrading your software in the next 3-4 years. (like Office 2007, Windows Vista, SBS "Cougar," etc.)
31) With open value the customer is allowed to pay over three years. Is that due to financing thru Microsoft?
a. ANSWER: They can choose the split payments option through the Open Value Program which provides them with the ability to pay for their software in 3 equal annual payments, or they can choose to utilize MS Financing and finance their software, hardware, and any services they wish to include as well and it will provide them the ability to pay in monthly payments over the 3 year term.
32) Is there a transition pack from SBS to STD Server that also transitions SA from the SBS License purchase?
a. ANSWER: No. The Transition Pack is a retail offering and would only transition the SBS Server to the individual Server components. You would be able to add SA to those new Server components through Open Value within 90 days of the application of the Transition Pack though if you wanted SA on the individual Server components.
33) How could John Smith, using only 1 User CAL, login under multiple usernames? Isn't each username in Active Directory actually a user?
a. ANSWER: No, we license by physical User, not login name. Since Mr. John Smith (the actual person) is only one physical User, they would only require one User CAL regardless of how many user names they use. You can also find this answer in Question #2 of "The 30 in 30" series we posted.
34) If the software assurance has expired what are the customer options to get back on the software assurance?
a. ANSWER: If customers let their Software Assurance expire by choosing to not renew, the only way to get back onto Software Assurance is to purchase the License + Software Assurance option for the item they want Software Assurance for. This is why it is very important to talk with your customers who have Software Assurance about activating their Software Assurance benefits and then renewing them when they come up.
35) Please explain the details and implications of the Small Business Desktop Advantage. What if customer adds other PCs later? Must buy the same SKU again?
a. ANSWER: Since the Small Business Desktop Advantage is a Company-wide agreement, they would need one Small Business Desktop Advantage license for every computer in their company. So, if they added 2 additional computers to their company (for example, increasing from 7 PCs to 9), they would simply purchase 2 additional Small Business Desktop Advantage licenses to cover the two additional computers.
36) Can an existing windows server 2003 server and domain be upgraded/downgraded to SBS 2003 R2?
a. ANSWER: No, there is no upgrade/downgrade from Windows Server to SBS.
37) If I get a customer to purchase Small Business Desktop Advantage License with SA, what version of MS Vista will my customer receive?
a. ANSWER: They will have the rights to use Windows Vista Enterprise and could choose to use Windows Vista Ultimate instead if they wish.
------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE: As of October, 2008, platform options (such as the Small Business Desktop Advantage) are now handled through the "Build Your Own Platform" model. Here is the post that explains this new option for you.-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Etera® offers green roof plant options with possibilities limited only by the imagination.
From installation to maturity, explore these green rooftops through the seasons to discover what to expect. Browse our projects for details on planting methods and techniques that have worked well for others. CLICK HERE to see a short video on SEDUM TILE® installation. Snohomish, WA We used Etera® SEDUM TILE® Pre-Vegetated Mats for part of a demonstration project in Snohomish, Washington. The entire project consists of five roof sections, each having a different roofing manufacturer and green roof system on it. Park Place, Seattle, WA Sedum plugs were used when this new 10,000 square foot green roof was added to a 21 story building in the heart of Seattle. It took only two days for the roofing crew to completely plant the roof at a rate of two plugs per square foot. Peace Arch, Blaine, WA In little more than four hours, workers spread 2,000 pounds of bulk Sedum cuttings, which were shipped in boxes and ready to plant. The effect was an almost instant green roof for this U.S. border station. South Shore School, Seattle, WA All Seasons SEDUM TILE® Pre-Vegetated Mats were used for this project, which includes a demonstration greenroof that is viewable from classrooms. Our 10" x 20" TILE® was easy to handle and quick to place. Jamesville Prison, Jamesville, NY When leaky roofs of four housing units at this prison needed to be replaced, the county was given a unique opportunity to study different roof technologies in the upstate New York climate. Custom mixed SEDUM TILE® Pre-Vegetated Mats were installed on the green roof portion. VA Hospital, Tacoma, WA Sweeping sections of assorted Sedum plugs with a border of Achillea 'Terra Cotta' and Elijah Blue Fescue create a very pleasing design on this roof at American Lake Medical Center. City College, San Francisco, CA SEDUM TILE® with native California perennials incorporated in was custom grown for the green roof on the City College Joint-Use Classroom Building. Many other sustainable elements were designed into the project targeting a LEED Platinum rating.

text: NATO: Patriot Missiles Are Going to Turkey By Neal Colgrass, Newser Staff Posted Dec 4, 2012 2:36 PM CST STORY COMMENTS (11) (Newser) – Now it's official: NATO agreed today to send Patriot anti-missile systems to Turkey to protect against attacks from war-torn Syria, the AP reports. The systems—which include radars, missiles, and other facilities—will be programmed only to fend off the Syrian shells and mortar rounds that have already killed five people in Turkey. That means the Patriots can't be used to strike preemptively or start an offensive against Syria. And the delivery will not expand into a no-fly zone over Syria, said NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen. Still, Rasmussen was still emphatic about the move: "We stand with Turkey in the spirit of strong solidarity," he said. "To anyone who would want to attack Turkey, we say, 'Don't even think about it!'" The Netherlands and Germany will likely send Turkey several of the latest Patriot defense systems, with the US adding more if necessary. Because the systems are big and complex, they have to be shipped by sea rather than air and will probably take about a month to arrive. NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen speaks at a media conference during a meeting of NATO foreign ministers at NATO headquarters in Brussels on Tuesday, Dec. 4, 2012. (AP Photo/Yves Logghe) In this July 20, 2006 file photo, a US-made Patriot missile is launched during an annual exercise in Taiwan.

Pakistani Taliban claim responsibility for border blast
A senior commander of the Pakistani Taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack near the country's border with India.
Taliban claims responsibility for deadly Kabul bombing
Two Taliban suicide bombers attacked the Afghan capital this morning, killing at least seven people and wounding more than 15, government officials said.
The Taliban, fighting to oust foreign forces and the US-backed government, claimed responsibility for the attacks in the east and west of Kabul.
"Double martyrdom attack has rocked #Kabul city this morning amid current year's ongoing #Khaibar operation," the Taliban said on Twitter, referring to their yearly summer fighting offensive.
Officials from Afghanistan and the United States signed a deal on Tuesday allowing American troops to stay in the country after the end of the year, filling a campaign promise by new President Ashraf Ghani.
Taliban militants responsible for Malala shooting arrested
A group of Taliban militants responsible for shooting Malala Yousufzai, a teenage activist targeted for her campaign against the terrorist group's efforts to deny girls education, have been arrested, Pakistan's army said.
Taliban activists claimed responsibility for shooting Malala in 2012 for her advocacy of women's right to education but no one had been arrested until now.
Two other schoolgirls were also injured in the attack.
The Pakistani army's head of press Asim Bajwa told reporters 10 attackers had been identified and arrested.
Malala survived the attack after being airlifted to Britain for treatment and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize last year.
Pakistan army launches operation against militants
The Pakistani army has launched what it calls a "comprehensive operation" to wipe out Islamist militants in the North Waziristan region.
It follows last week's attack on an airport in the city of Karachi, for which the Pakistan Taliban claimed responsibility.
An air strike on militant bases last night was claimed to have killed about 100 militants, many of whom are thought to have been foreign fighters.
"Our valiant armed forces have been tasked to eliminate these terrorists regardless of hue and colour, along with their sanctuaries," the army said in a statement.
Pakistan air raids kill 'around 100 militants'
Around 100 militants have been killed in nothwestern Pakistan after military jets carried out air strikes on militant hideouts in the North Waziristan tribal area this morning.
Pakistani air force jets targeted eight militant hideouts in the region, according to unidentified intelligence officials.
Many of the dead were believed to be Uzbeks and other foreign fighters, who had been meeting to discuss a deadline given by authorities for militants to leave the area, said two of the Pakistani officials.
The information could not be independently verified.
Freed Bergdahl to be given 'time and space' to recover
Released Taliban captive Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl has been taken to the Brooke Army Medical Centre in Texas where he will begin the next phase of his "reintegration process", the Pentagon said.
In a statement released by Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby, he said:
"Secretary Hagel is confident that the army will continue to ensure that Sgt. Bergdahl receives the care, time and space he needs to complete his recovery and reintegration."
Released Taliban captive Bergdahl arrives in the US
US army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, freed by the Taliban after five years in captivity, has arrived at a Texas military base, the Pentagon has said.
Bergdahl has been recovering in Germany and is now due to be taken to the Brooke Army Medical Centre for treatment.
FBI investigate threats against Bergdahl family
The FBI is investigating threats against the family of former Taliban prisoner Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.
The threats come after a number of former comrades of Bergdahl made television appearances accusing him of being a "deserter".
His home town was forced to cancel plans for a welcome-celebration for the soldier, who has been released after five years of captivity in Afghanistan, due to security concerns.
Hailey, Idaho, a town of 8,000, where Sgt Bergdahl's parents, Bob and Jani Bergdahl, live, has been swamped with hate mail and angry calls. FBI spokesman William Facer said:
"The FBI continues to monitor the situation in Hailey, Idaho. We are working jointly with our state and local partners and taking each threat seriously."
Parents of freed US soldier hurt by 'deserter' claims
The former pastor of the parents of a US soldier released from Taliban captivity after nearly five years says they have been "really hurt" by claims that he was a traitor and the outpouring of anger towards their family.
Pastor Phil Proctor of Sterling Presbyterian Church in Sterling, Virginia, said Bob and Jani Bergdahl were surprised by interviews they had seen with former platoon mates of their son Bowe.
Proctor said the Bergdahls, who live in Idaho, have yet to speak to their son, who is currently recovering at a military hospital in Germany.
Clinton: US 'always sought' Berghdal release
Hillary Clinton's new book has revealed that Barack Obama's government demanded the release of captured US soldier Sgt Bowe Bergdahl in every prisoner discussion it held with the Taliban.
The former US secretary of state also says in her book, Hard Choices, that she recommended President Obama end the decades-long US embargo on Cuba to force Fidel and Raul Castro into democratic change.

I am currently a 5x4 user, but i am intending to build my own 10x8 camera, and was hoping for some advice on what would a good selction of lenses to go for.
On 5x4 I mainly shoot lanscapes, but do some close up shots. I have a 90mm, 150mm and 210mm, and would like to have a similar selection on 10x8, but I am not sure of which lenses would give enough coverage and so on.
Thanks in advance.

Police released two 16-year-olds suspected of stabbing a Border Guard
cadet late Thursday after their investigation revealed that the cadet
had fabricated the attack.Police had arrested the suspects earlier Thursday near Karmiel. In a
press statement, police said that the 18-year-old stabbing victim had
been standing at an olive grove near a rest stop
along Route 854,
whereupon he was allegedly stabbed by the two suspects. His partner,
another Border Guard cadet, discovered him lying in the grove soon after
and alerted local authorities. The IDF spokesman corroberated this sequence of events.Police said that the cadet had been evacuated to hospital in Nahariya with light to moderate injuries.

Assad's most powerful foreign ally prepares to evacuate its citizens from the country
The outlook for Syria's embattled president darkened considerably Thursday when his most powerful foreign ally, Russia, acknowledged that he was losing the struggle against an increasingly coordinated insurgency and for the first time said it was making contingency plans to evacuate its citizens from the country, the Kremlin's last beachhead in the Middle East.
The Russian assessment, made publicly by a top Foreign Ministry official in Moscow, appeared to signal a major turn in the diplomacy of the nearly 2-year-old conflict and presented new evidence that Syrian President Bashar Assad was losing politically as well as militarily. On Wednesday it was revealed that Assad's forces had resorted to firing Scud ballistic missiles at rebels in an attempt to slow the insurgency's momentum.
The assessment suggested that Russia no longer viewed Assad's involvement in a negotiated solution as a viable alternative. It also appeared to reflect a new recognition in Moscow that Assad and his minority Alawite government, long a Russian client, cannot survive in the face of a well-armed opposition financed by Arab and Western countries seeking his ouster. Some Russian officials have concluded that Assad's foreign adversaries want an outcome decided by military force.
Further punctuating the Russian assessment was a dark view offered by the secretary general of NATO, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, who told reporters in Brussels that "I think the regime in Damascus is approaching collapse. I think now it is only a question of time."
While senior Western officials said the basic Russian position had not shifted markedly, they welcomed the comments that were made to a Kremlin advisory group by Mikhail Bogdanov, a deputy foreign minister and Russia's top envoy for the Middle East, which were reported by the Interfax news agency.
"Unfortunately, it is impossible to exclude a victory of the Syrian opposition," Bogdanov said. "We must look squarely at the facts, and the trend now suggests that the regime and the government in Syria are losing more and more control and more and more territory."
Bogdanov predicted a bloody future with many more dead, suggesting that the fall of Assad and his government would not mean the end of the civil war, which is increasingly sectarian — Sunnis from within and without versus minority Alawites and Christians.
"If you accept this price to topple the president, what can we do?" he asked. "We of course consider this totally unacceptable."

Explo Systems, Inc., has filed for bankruptcy, saying it owes its top 20 creditors almost $3 million.
The filing late this afternoon in U.S. District Court in Shreveport happened hours before company officials were to appear in Webster Parish Court to answer an eviction notice from the Louisiana Army National Guard. That hearing Friday morning will be canceled because the future of the explosives company now falls in the hands of the federal bankruptcy court.
Chapter 11 allows a company to restructure under the guidance of a trustee, who is empowered to operate the business. And it also ...

Illustration by Bob AulIt's 8 p.m. I've just gotten ready for work and I'm going to my car—but it's gone. You, whoever you are, took it. Frazzled, I phone the police. At 8:15, the police arrive. By 8:25, the report has been filed. I explain to the officer that the only important contents are two pairs of vintage roller skates and a file with important papers. The cop leaves. I consider my transportation options. At 8:30, the police department phones me: they've found the truck two miles away, parked on the wrong side of the road and, of course, ticketed. The roller skates are gone.
So who are you, and what's your deal? You steal a truck only to drive it two miles and abandon it on the side of the road—and then bail with my prized roller skates. You are one dumb bastard. You will not get away with this; nobody steals Rollergirl's skates. Haven't you seen Boogie Nights?

I have a sqlite query:
rawQuery("select * from ? where ?=?", new String[] {
DBTABLE_PROFILE, KEY_PROFILE_ID, Integer.toString(profileID) });
But Android gives me
E/AndroidRuntime(7323): Caused by: android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException:
near "?": syntax error (code 1): , while compiling: select * from ? where ?=?
I tested which ? was causing problems and it turned out to be the first one. If I change it to
"select * from profile where ?=?"
it doesn't FC.
SO, can table names be substitued with '?'?
There is a work-around to achieve rawQuery-like functionality without the limitations. See my answer below.
