Sandwich Monday: The Latke Double Down
We all remember the KFC Double Down: the sandwich that replaced bread with fried chicken and changed our lives for the fatter. Just in time for Hanukkah, the Jewish Journal has created the Latke Double Down, which replaces the bread with latkes, aka fried potato pancakes. They fill theirs with lox. We filled ours with brisket, because brisket.Peter: This can't be legitimate Jewish cooking, because it's delicious.Eva: It really is great. I was so hungry.Mike: I think you mean Chungry.Peter: Why couldn't the ancient Hebrews have invented THIS to eat while fleeing slavery in Egypt? Passover would have been a delight.Mike: Why is this sandwich different from all other sandwiches?Ian: We eat this sandwich why? Because it's delicious.Robert: It's a shame they cut that one song from the original version of Fiddler on the Roof: "If I Were a Fat Man- Oh Wait... I Already Am."Leah: Unfortunately since I'm half Jewish, latke fat only goes to the right side of my body.Ian: This does seem like the wrong sandwich for a holiday commemorating a shortage of oil.Mike: I need a Shabbos Stomach to digest this for me.Ian: This is the best thing Colonel Sanderstein has ever created.Mike: The negative: you eat this, you have a heart attack. The positive: you make some mother so proud of her son who became a doctor.Robert: This sandwich proves you could never call Hanukkah the Festival Of Lite.[The verdict: honestly, one of the greatest sandwiches we've ever had. Just two latkes, with brisket, sour cream and a touch of applesauce. Unbelievable.]

Though guidelines suggest screening starts at 50, researcher says it's premature to change them
by Cando on Mon Nov 12, 2012 08:22 PM
Sadly, my husband passed away Nov 6. He died of complications from the treatment of his tumor, not the tumor itself. The radiation damaged his brain, causing intractable seizures and increasing damage day by day. For the record it is not supposed to happen like this, and I fel a little cheated, if that"s the right word. We were not truly informed that this could be an outcome of the radiation. I withdrew all treatment except seizure medications and comfort measures 4 days before he died.

Sports > Rams > Story
By Jim Thomas
Not too long ago, Tye Hill and Jonathan Wade ran into each other on the college track circuit.
"I ran against him a few times, but you know who came out on top of that," Hill said.
Funny, but Wade has a different recollection.
"I met Tye three years ago at a track meet in Carolina," Wade said. "We were on the same leg."
What happened? "Ask him," Wade said, confidently.
"I don't know what memory he's got," countered Hill, a Rams starting cornerback. "He's a good 200 runner. But anything in the 100 and below, no. Just go back and look at the time at the (NFL scouting) combine."
Hill, out of Clemson, ran the 40 in 4.34 seconds at the 2006 combine. A year later, Wade, who played for the University of Tennessee, ran a 4.36 at the combine.
Advantage Hill, but just barely.
Make no mistake, Wade is very fast, even by NFL standards. It's only fitting then, that the Rams have put him on the fast track at cornerback.
Wade originally was labeled as a pick to add depth to the roster, a player who wouldn't have to contribute much this season when the Rams took him in the third round (No. 84 overall) last April.
But in early June, veteran Jerametrius Butler was released. In early July, starter Fakhir Brown was suspended four games for violating terms of the NFL's substance abuse program. On Thursday, the Rams released veteran cornerback Mike Rumph.
Suddenly, Wade is no worse than the team's fourth cornerback. He has been getting plenty of reps with the starting defensive unit in training camp, and is battling Lenny Walls for the No. 3 corner spot. Barring a successful appeal by Brown, the winner of that battle will be on the field in nickel situations for the first four games of the season.
"I anticipate that he's going to continue to compete to be on the field on defense, whether he's at corner or in the nickel spot," coach Scott Linehan said of Wade. "That's our goal. He has not disappointed. He has really improved."
Wade certainly has the speed to play the corner spot in the NFL. He has decent size for the position (5 feet 10, 195 pounds) and has shown a competitive streak on the practice field at Rams Park. But he needs plenty of technique work, occasionally drawing pointed instruction from secondary coach Willy Robinson on the practice field.
After yet another hot, sweaty camp practice, Wade wasn't close to declaring that he has this NFL thing down.
"I think every day's bad," he said. "But you've got to keep working. That's what we're out here for. ... It's about getting better each and every day."
Modesty aside, Wade wants to take advantage of any opportunity that might come his way this season.
"Me personally, since I was younger, I've always tried to envision myself as being a star," Wade said. "Being a player."
But cornerback remains a new position for him. A state champion in the 100 and 200 meters at Evangel Christian High in Shreveport, La., Wade was recruited to play wide receiver at Tennessee. He didn't become a full-time starter at cornerback until his senior season with the Volunteers. Linehan and his defensive coaches saw enough of Wade going up against elite receivers in the Southeastern Conference to believe he could make a successful transition to the NFL.
"There was never an issue that he had any match-up problems as far as keeping up with people," Linehan said after drafting Wade. "He has great speed catch-up speed and all those things you need to have as a corner, and has the instincts for it."
Wade, who gave up track before his senior year in college, made it a point to work on his conditioning during the break between the end of the offseason program and the start of training camp. The idea is to minimize getting run ragged by star wide receivers Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce in training camp.
"Tye said Torry and Isaac are the best two receivers he has ever seen," Wade said. "And he said, 'You get to get beat by them every day, so get used to it."
Wade has been beaten his share of times by the duo so far in camp, but he's enjoying the matchups and learning from them.
"It's been fun," Wade said. "Very entertaining. They mess with me a lot, but I know it's all right because they want me to get better and help this team out."

- 1 cup white sugar
- ½ cup corn syrup
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 bags of microwave popcorn, popped, or about ¼ cup of popcorn kernels, popped in an air popper

stayed in this hostel two weeks ago for the first time and it was good, so decided to check in again. three days ago when arriving again, our room was horrible, it was comparable to a hour hotel. when we asked for a room without moisture, we got upgraded to the family room? which was even worse. dirty room, the bathroom was soaked with whatever brownish liquid that was. but the first stay was really pleasant. really good location, lots of restaurants close by, 10 min to subway, 10 min to bars

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
The spreadsheet has simple formula but a large amount of potential variables.
Alternatively, there is an Excel file parser availabe from [hotscripts.com...] (havn't used it)This parser program can import data from an Excel file, versions from Excel 5.0 to Excel 2000 and XP....
If I'm off the beaten track explain a bit further please.
I was just curious if I was going about this right way as it involves a considerable amount of work.
If not then go for it, I have made a few things like that for our intranet. They are a lot of work but are very satisfying because they are usually complex.
I have already started with some success but my first obstacle is user registration with mySql. I need the user to come back and access the data they inputted last time. I have done some mySql work but never for more than one user so I have just used htaccess on the directory. I need the individuals to gain access to only their own records. Can this be done securely on one database? I will issue user names and passwords myself.
I would be grateful for your advice.
Another way around the problem would be to write your code to carefully restrict your selects to the data that the current user has access to. It's probably not as efficient as using different database users, but as long as the control is very loose you might find it enough easier to implement that it's worth it.
I'm thinking of perhaps switching from a single-database-user to multiple-detabase-users with my pet project, though I probably won't get to it for a few months because there are other features I want to implement first. If you're interested, I can sticky you or write a post about it when I get there. (Its a PostgreSQL based project, not a MySQL based one, but at least some of it will probably transfer.)

Dear Airlines,
You are in the business of transporting humans through the air. Humans come in all shapes and sizes. Deal with it.
There are tall humans and short humans, fat humans and skinny humans, humans in wheelchairs, humans on crutches, humans who max out their carry-on luggage, humans with small children and solo humans with no baggage. Do you think this is a hassle? Go and become a cargo airline – no one is stopping you.
If you still want to be in the passenger airline business, then you need to quit treating humans as if they were standard-size freight. All paying customers have an equal right to fly, not just thin ones. Now it might theoretically be possible that somewhere in the world there are humans who are so enormous that they literally cannot ever fly because of safety reasons, no matter how many seats they have.
But let's call BS when we see it: That's not what we're talking about! If someone were "too fat to fly", then having two seats would not make it any safer in the event of an emergency evacuation. If it were about safety, you would not routinely put them on the next flight or give them flight vouchers in compensation!
The reality is that you have set a seat configuration for your plane that allocates space based on a formula. That formula allows just enough space for a person of average size to fit, but not necessarily be comfortable. But you know what? By definition not everyone will conform to an average. When you are dealing with humans of different shapes and sizes, roughly half the people will be bigger than average and roughly half will be smaller. That's mathematics.
When you combine the fact that your seat configuration is not based on reality with the fact that you routinely overbook flights, then you end up with a problem. A problem of your making. It's not the fault of your passengers for coming in different shapes and sizes, it's your fault for not understanding that accommodating this fact is a cost of doing business if you want to be a passenger airline.
I understand that it can be difficult if your flight is full and you are trying to get the passengers seated and the plane off the ground. It's a problem caused by airline management, but I can understand the stress for flight attendants who have to deal with it. But here's a tip: Looking around for the nearest fat person and ejecting them off the plane, even if they are already seated, is not the right way to deal with it. As far as I can tell, this seems to be what happened to film director Kevin Smith (aka "Silent Bob") when flying Southwest Air on the weekend.
If you are going to discriminate against fat people, please don't do it in my name. As a woman who is 5'5" (165cm) with a medium build (size 8 US), I fit nicely into your economy seats. I'm privileged to have a body shape that conforms to your standards and I find it highly unlikely that I would ever be kicked off a plane for this particular reason.
So when you say that your policy of making fat people buy two seats is for the comfort of other passengers, I'm those other passengers. And let's get real: I don't believe for a second that it's about making me comfortable. I believe it's about revenue raising by shaming fat people into buying two seats. I also believe it's about expedience – it's a convenient but arbitrary reason to shove someone off an overbooked flight. After all, it seems that even when someone does book two seats, they don't always get to keep them when the flight is full.
If you were truly concerned about my comfort, then you would also ban tall people (who can take up just as much space without being fat), men who spread their legs, children who kick the back of the seat, screaming babies, people who recline the seat when I'm eating my meal, people who complain about me reclining the seat when the meal service is over, people who blind me by opening the window shades at the wrong time, and people with excessive flatulence.
But the reality is that dealing with other passengers in close proximity is part of the deal if I choose to fly economy. Sure I'd prefer to have the arm rest down and not to have someone's thigh pressing against me, but I can't always get what I want. Like the average consumer I typically choose low airfares over comfort and luxury. The other person is not doing anything wrong just by being there. If I'm so concerned about my own comfort, then surely I should be the one to buy two seats or pay for an upgrade?
If I choose not to do that, then I'll deal with whoever I happen to be sitting next to. And I'll try to be gracious about it and smile at the human sitting next to me rather than throwing them dirty looks because they're not giving me exactly half the arm rest and they've stolen an inch of my theoretical leg space.
Some people suggest that most fat people are fat because they eat too much and don't exercise and that this is unhealthy and therefore airlines should impose an obesity tax. In reality, there is debate about the health aspects – the BMI is notoriously unreliable as a public health measure and there is some evidence that it is possible to achieve health at every size. It is also impossible to tell by looking at someone whether they are fat because they eat too much or because of genetics, or because they have a glandular problem, they are recovering from an eating disorder, or because their pro-football coach asked them to get that way, or because they've lost the weight and regained it, or a hundred other reasons. And even if you happen to see a large person eating a large meal, you still don't know.
But you know what? It's irrelevant. It's a private matter for that person. It's not anyone else's job to judge them or make them feel any more ashamed than they already do. It's not our job to divide the world into good fatties and bad fatties. Maybe fat is unhealthy but that doesn't make it a moral issue. And last time I checked, airlines were not in the business of healthcare or public health policy.
Airlines, I realise that no matter how big you make your seats, there will probably always be outliers who require a bigger seat. But the current policies are affecting too many people to be reasonable. The so-called obesity epidemic isn't going to go away overnight and it's going to take time and money before you can reconfigure your seating, which you should definitely think about doing at some point. But you could alleviate most of the problem right now by ending routine overbooking.
Think about it.
Yours sincerely,

Does anyone know if the 'athletes'* on The World's Strongest Man are required to take drug tests to screen for steroids and other performance enhancers??
I was watching the 2007 final from CA on ESPN the other night and I noticed that some of those guys are unreasonably massive. I just say in thier defense that I only noticed the tell-tale steroid signs on 2-3 of the men. Those signs being back/neck acne, young men balding, overacting-over intensity...among others. Some of the men do look like they only lift. Other look like they sit in a hospital bed with a fuckin anabolic steroid dripping into one arm and crystal meth into the other.
The reason I put atheletes in quotes is because I'm not sure I would consider them athletes. The vigorus training and sacrifices do make them athletes. But the over-weight ones who just grunt and throw a keg 50ft in the air...probably after drinking it..... don't seem to fit the common description. Kobe is an athlete. A 350lb 5'8" monster is something else entirely.
I've always thought that most of those dudes are probably compensating for the lack of something...... most likely the lack of penis vigor, the shriveling of testes and the sheer disgusting-ness of a sweaty overweight bafoon. Though I'm sure their all nice guys...

The whole "build a website that doesn't rely on Google" thing is interesting.
I've noticed many people these days don't even bother typing the domain name into the URL section of the browser anymore. What they do is they actually go to Google and search for the website e.g. searching for "webmaster world" and then clicking on the first result.
If have a website and you're not in Google, you're screwed. Yelp certainly know this.
Swapping is the increasingly prevalent informal bartering system in which participants in Internet communities trade items of comparable value on a trust basis using the Internet. The most notable disadvantage to electronic barter is inherent in Internet commerce, that of trust. How can consumers have confidence that they will receive what they bargained, or paid, for? Although the Internet based consumer market has by its continued existence and growth demonstrated that it works, there is never a guarantee of satisfaction in consumer to consumer transactions. There is no absolute defense against fraud. However, it can be argued that when a person barters there is less incentive to deliberately mislead. Neither party is paid; each party receives something that would only then have to be converted to cash
we are all dependent on one source of traffic.
You should have loyal visitors like webmasterworld.com. I don't think webmasterworld.com is dependent on Google. WW stays even though Google sends zero traffic.
Relying solely on Google is just lazy, shortsighted and a suicidal strategy for the long term survival of a site.
Something to think about when anyone talks about "whitelisting" robots. <fe>All the important search engines are already established, so there's no point in wasting your bandwidth on the upstarts, outsiders and wannabes.</fe>
This just shows me how messed up everyones thinking is. It is not "free traffic" and "free money". Google would be nothing, completely NOTHING without our content they use for "free"
Also, I was not talking about how Google benefits from our content, that is part of their business model, not your business model.
My recommendation is to wait until they are a viable player, at least in Beta, before letting them put a drain on your resources. For example, the hundreds of toy nutch crawlers (wannabes) people have running amok, not worth the bandwidth unless one of them actually goes public as a SE. Likewise, the flood of toy crawwler crap from AWS (Amazon Web Services) isn't worth allowing access at this time. However, new promising spiders like Yandex and even Blekko have been allowed on my whitelist.
1. how do think those visitors found the site in the first place?
Are you kidding? g### adores WebmasterWorld. Put up a post, and it will be indexed before the page has time to refresh. That's how I found this place.

Domestication of Pyramids by Magdalena Jetelová are pyramid-sculptures, covered by volcanic ashes, and have been shown at the Museum of Applied Arts / Vienna, Martin-Gropius-Bau / Berlin, National Museum of Contemporary Art / Warsaw, Irish Museum of Modern Art / Dublin, Forum Kunst Rottweil and other art spaces."The Viennese Museum of Applied Arts is a typical example of Ringstrasse architecture: an elegant, richly ornamented Neo-Renaissance building with an inner peristyle hall and galleries. Upon entering the building, the visitor finds himself/herself, surprisingly, in a darkened, curved space: soon he/she discovers that he/she is standing under large, slanted scaffolding. He/she instinctively walks to the right, where there is a way out. When he/she returns to the daylight, he/she finds himself/herself in the Museum hall, standing next to a thirteen-meter high tilted wall covered in red silica sand. The wall slices the inner space of the Museum diagonally across two floors, slashing razor-like through pillars and balustrades up to the ceiling. The wall, tilted at a 45° angle and with a base thirty-five meters long, is a fragment of one side of a pyramid which could continue in the exterior of the Museum building. A space on a scale which greatly exceeds the size of the host building is inserted into the museum's interior. Despite its dimensions, it is only a fragment of a whole known to us, which in an imaginary way continues beyond the borders of the Museum building and which we can mentally reconstruct as a pyramid.Domestication primarily stems from the fact that we can already imagine it based on the fragment we have at our disposal because we have become well acquainted with its form in our minds. On the entirely specific level, domestication—taming—can be seen in the possibility of walking around the pyramid from all sides, from the inside as well as from the outside; taking a look at its base from the gallery above, experiencing it from a perspective that people were to be denied. This, however, does not change anything about the fact that the essence of the form is mental, not physical. The entire pyramid is only realized through thought.The intersection of the eastern archetypal monument—the pyramid—and its absolute geometry with'humanized' western architecture, its small details and scale, raises questions concerning the nature of our culture, whereby our stable coordinates which anchor us in the world become relative. Other pyramids have been constructed at various locations in Europe, but only in Vienna is the pyramid physically accessible both from the inside and outside; in Warsaw and Berlin the surface of the structure can be observed from the outside, which, because it is covered with volcanic ashes, evokes the feeling of a full compact mass, poured into the form of a heap. The confrontation of the eastern monument and European cultural history takes place differently each time, and yet on the same principle. The domestication of absolute architecture takes place in our minds."

yes, its due to the theme we use and trying to avoid advertisements on our front page..and of course we cant influence the display configurations that much..but we are trying to find a way to fix it :)
Ah, I see. Good to know. I do enjoy reading about the images. Thanks for the info.

Great images and very thought-provoking. Strangely, I get the text when I view this on my ipad, but not on the desktop version
yes we know about that..it has to do with the theme we use and with trying to avoid advertisements on our front page..technical stuff we hope to solve one day :)
Reblogged this on A Subjective Discipline.
thank you for the reblog :)
Beautiful pyramids. I like it very much. I feel pleasure when i reading about it.

Power can be addicting. Once you're hooked, you're on a slippery slope, as this tuned Shelby GT500 attests. It's called "Code Red," and it's the product of California-based engine builder Nelson Racing Engines, with cooperation from Shelby. For those really looking for a rush, this particular ponycar puts out 1200 horsepower, which should be more than capable of livening the morning commute.

Lent arrives on February 10! Sign up today for a Lent devotional experience.
Ancient Antioch was famous for its humor, especially the coining of jesting nicknames. When an organized brigade of chanting devotees of Nero led crowds in adulation, this band of imperial cheerleaders with their ludicrous homage was quickly dubbed Augustiani. And earlier, when the devotees of the one called Christ came to public attention, they were named Christianoi, partisans of Christ (11:26). What may have been first coined by outsiders as a term of derision (see Acts 26:28 and 1 Pet 4:16, the only two other New Testament occurrences of the term—both on the lips of hostile unbelievers), the followers of the Way embraced it as a fitting label.
Theophilus and his peers had heard the name, though not always distinctly. It was confused by many with Chrestianos, possibly deriving from Chrestos, "useful," a common name for a slave (compare Suetonius Claudius 25.4). What does it mean to be a Christianos, a Christian (Tacitus Annals 15.44; Suetonius Nero 16.2)? Luke clears this up for Theophilus and us by pointing to Antioch.

21st Century Transportation
Wisconsin can't afford more extravagant highway projects, especially when urgent local road repair and transit needs are being neglected. It's time to get our transportation priorities straight and invest Wisconsin taxpayer dollars wisely, not wastefully.
Highway Waste Undermines 21st Century Transportation in Wisconsin
Demand for transportation alternatives is skyrocketing, and our roads and bridges are crumbling. Yet instead of meeting our changing transportation needs, our state budget continues to funnel billions of dollars into shortsighted new highway projects.
We need a transportation system that reflects and supports the way we want to travel now.
With gas prices up and lifestyles changing, we are driving less and taking transit, walking, and biking more. The average Wisconsinite drove 500 fewer miles in 2010 than in 2004, and between 2001 and 2009 young people's travel on public transportation increased by 40% nationwide. Meanwhile, recent reports found that 1,100 Wisconsin bridges are structurally deficient, and 43% of our roads are in "less than good" condition.
By shifting our transportation budget away from expensive new highways, we can invest in efficient public transportation systems like intercity rail and clean bus systems, and make sure that our existing infrastructure is safe and functional for decades to come.
Unfortunately, the highway lobby and big road construction firms won't easily let go of their high-priced, taxpayer-funded highway contracts. They've lobbied hard, and Governor Walker has listened — he has increased spending on new highways at the expense of everything else.
With state leaders considering the next two-year budget, now is the time to fight for Wisconsin's transportation future. With enough public support, we can overcome the road builders and their lobbyists, and make sure Gov. Walker and state leaders get behind a transportation plan that will best benefit Wisconsin taxpayers.

61 bodies found after migrant boat sinks off Malaysia
Dozens of bodies have been pulled from the water after an overloaded wooden boat carrying illegal immigrants from Indonesia sank off the coast of Malaysia.
Maritime search and rescue director Robert Teh said 61 bodies had been recovered so far, with the victims mostly men. There was also one toddler on board, he added.
Only 20 people are believed to have survived the disaster on Thursday.
The search operation will continue today, but if no more bodies are found, Mr Teh said it may be called off.
The boat is believed to have capsized due to overloading and bad weather. The immigrants on board were thought to have been making the journey home for the Eid al-Adha holiday.
Malaysian migrant boat sinks with 100 on board
A boat bound for Indonesia with around 100 migrants has sunk with fatalities, the Associated Press reports, citing Malaysian authorities.
Ex-leader calls for 'people power' to topple Malaysia PM
Former Malaysian leader Mahathir Mohamad has joined anti-government protesters for a second day and called for a "people's power" movement to topple Prime Minister Najib Razak over a financial scandal.
Speaking to journalists ahead of the protests in central Kuala Lumpu, he said: "The only way for the people to get back to the old system is for them to remove this prime minister."
"And to remove him, the people must show people's power. The people as a whole do not want this kind of corrupt leader", he added.
Topless British backpacker publicly apologises
A British backpacker who stripped off on a sacred Malaysian mountain has publicly apologised for what she called her "foolish behaviour" after arriving back in the UK. Eleanor Hawkins was deported from Malaysia yesterday after admitting public indecency.
ITV News reporter Olivia Paterson explains:
Topless backpacker: 'I know I was foolish - I'm sorry'
Eleanor Hawkins, the British backpacker who was jailed for stripping on a sacred Malaysian mountain, has said in a statement on her return to the UK: "I just want to say how relieved and happy I am to finally be home. I know my behaviour was foolish and I know how much offence we all caused to the local people of Sabah. For that, I am truly sorry."
Backpacker and university graduate Eleanor Hawkins, 23, appeared tearful as she read a statement outside her family home in Draycott, Derbyshire.
Her mother Ruth said: "She knows what she did was wrong and disrespectful and she is deeply sorry for any offence caused to the people of Sabah and she has been appropriately and fairly judged by the Malaysian authorities and has served her sentence in full, the case is now closed."
Topless backpacker arrives back in UK from Malaysia
A British woman convicted for stripping on a sacred Malaysian mountain has returned to the UK.
Backpacker Eleanor Hawkins, who pleaded guilty to a public nuisance offence, arrived at Heathrow Airport early on Sunday morning having been deported from Malaysia.
At a court hearing in Kota Kinabalu on Friday she was fined 5,000 Malaysian ringgit (£859) and sentenced to three days in jail, which she had already served.
Miss Hawkins was arrested with three other backpackers earlier this week for posing naked on the mountainside, after being blamed by locals for causing an earthquake which killed 18 people.
Nude pic backpacker 'happy' to be returning home
A British woman convicted for stripping on a sacred Malaysian mountain is "pleased and happy" to be returning home to the UK, her lawyer said.
Backpacker Eleanor Hawkins, who pleaded guilty to a public nuisance offence, is due to be deported from Malaysia today.
At a court hearing in Kota Kinabalu she was fined 5,000 Malaysian ringgit (£859) and sentenced to three days in jail, which she has already served.
The 23-year-old's jail sentence officially ended at midnight, her lawyer said, and she was handed to immigration officers to arrange for her flight home via Kuala Lumpur.
Ronny Cham, who represented Miss Hawkins in court yesterday, said she was relieved to be returning home.
He told the Press Association: "She is pleased and happy."
Mountain strip tourists 'made an example of'
A 24-year-old British woman who was photographed posing naked on Malaysia's highest peak is set to be deported after pleading guilty to a public nuisance offence.
Eleanor Hawkins was among a group of foreign tourists who were made an example of by Malaysian authorities after failing to respect local culture.
Hawkins, from Derby, was given a three-day prison sentence and an £860 fine.
ITV News correspondent Lucy Watson reports:
Father of mountain strip Brit 'relieved' court ordeal is over
The father of a British woman who pleaded guilty to a public nuisance offence after posing naked on a mountain in Malaysia, has said he is relieved his daughter's court ordeal is over.
Timothy Hawkins said the sentence given to his daughter Eleanor was "appropriate" and "fair" and confirmed the family were now waiting to be told when she would be coming home:
Mr Hawkins added that the family were keen to speak to Eleanor and check she was ok after seeing some of the videos of her being "treated pretty badly" as she was bundled in and out of court.

in response to tsimon1980For those still dealing with this issue... don't waste the time on power cycles. Keep a paperclip or sim removal tool in your pocket. Just pop the SIM out and slide it back in. That should temporarily fix it. But yes, this is a very frustrating problem. Hopefully you all can get to an Apple store that has a replacement in stock for you!!
letrfly Jul 1, 2010 11:02 AM
in response to rellim08Got the iPhone 4 last week. Immediately it would fail to find the SIM. It couldn't find the SIM when I hooked up to iTunes to register the phone! It was happening 5 -6 times per day, at random. The airplane mode toggle is the best fix, by the way. I installed a new app via iTunes and the problem seemed to be resolved - until yesterday when I got the no SIM error twice. And again this morning. C'mon, Apple!
Rusty0007 Jul 2, 2010 7:27 AM
in response to rellim08I too have had the dreaded 'no sim card installed' message. The phone worked flawlessly for 24 hours then started it. After spending 4 hours on the phone with Apple we decided on replacement. Before I did that, I ended up doing a forced restore,wiping the phone and re-installing OS4 without my old 3gS backup. The phone now is working perfectly. I'm not totally convinced it's fixed, but it's been 14 hours with no error. Before it couldn't go 14 minutes. Apple is clueless to this I guess. They are replacing tons of phones over a software issue. The tech I spoke to have never heard of the issue yet when you google it,it seems widespread.
gfs2008 Jul 2, 2010 9:19 AM
in response to tsimon1980I had the same NO SIM message, which first appeared a few days after having my iPhone4. I went to the Apple Store first because I also had what appeared to be the muting issue when using the phone.
The Apple Store gave me a new phone for the muting issue, but discovered in transferring the SIM card that it was problematic too. Had a new SIM card installed at AT&T store a few steps down the mall (the Apple Store had run out of SIM cards) and it solved the problem. Frankly, I'm not sure if the phone needed to be replaced; I think the problem was a faulty SIM card from the start.
The phone is working fine now. I think better than my older iPhone 3G. I'm temporarily using my old case from my 3G as a protector. Seems to have solved all the problems I was having.
Triple22 Jul 6, 2010 7:54 PM
in response to rellim08My iphonr has bin fine since the day i bought it. I dropped it in my car today no damage brilliant.
Just moments ago my phone said no sim installed so i immediatly took it out and out of the holder blew on it and stuck back in. Its bin ok for past hour now if it goes again ill do same or reset my phone. If still no luck ill br paying a visit to apple and it wont be a good one!
kiwifiz Jul 7, 2010 5:05 AM
in response to rellim08Got the "no sim card installed" message on day 5 of iPhone 4 ownership. Spotted this forum. Took it into the local apple store (Solihull UK) that same day and they tested for a bout 5-10 minutes it and offered a new replacement , but with a 2 day delay until new stock was in. Fine by me as original phone would still work each time if i popped the sim out add put it back in....happened about 3x/day over the 2 day wait. Very helpful genius said known hardware fault, but wouldn't be more specific than that. Picked up replacement today...fingers crossed this one lasts a bit longer than 5 days!
Don't waste time with restores and other faff if you get this no sim message and you're near an apple store...get it tested by the pro's and correctly diagnosed and fixed/swapped out (stock dependant!). Just make sure to get a genius appointment.
sophos9 Jul 7, 2010 5:07 AM
in response to kiwifizExactly - no sim = hardware failure/defect. Don't waste time, get it back to Apple. Glad you are sorted mate =)
Ryan Aban Jul 7, 2010 7:41 PM
in response to sophos9I have this same error, just started today. Have had it since launch with no problems until now.
I've already got a genius appointment for tomorrow, but just curious if anyone knows why this is happening? The blogs seem to have not picked it up yet. They are still in the 'death grip' mode.
Beckly Jul 14, 2010 11:05 AM
in response to Ryan AbanI am so peeved right now - had my iphone4 for exactly 7 hours and am getting 'no sim' messages. Absolutley none of the "fixes" work and i can't get into an apple store until next week. I have no phone to use in the mean time, having cancelled my contract thinking apple would be able to sort themselves out!
After paying so much for a phone I am not impressed that there is such a common and frustrating error - I may just go into an apple shop, get extremely angry then buy myself a blackberry with my refund - NOT HAPPY!
ODCaloney Jul 14, 2010 11:31 AM
in response to BecklyI made an appointment at the Genius Bar and they gave me new phone. I haven't had the missing SIM issue since. My original iPhone 4 was manufactured week 22, this one is week 26. Still have the proximity sensor issue though.
Tiny Jay Jul 14, 2010 11:44 AM
in response to rellim08Got my phone yesterday, this started happening to my phone a few moments ago.
Suggested fixes here include, taking your SIM card out? wiggling it around? dusting it off? Putting a piece of scotch tape on the metal?
Next you'll be telling me to blow in the backside of it like we did with old Super Nintendo games.
mschoeler Jul 14, 2010 4:30 PM
in response to ODCaloneyhow do you find the week your phone was manufactured?
catpaladin Jul 14, 2010 6:49 PM
in response to rellim08I got this message several times on the 2nd day of owning the iPhone 4. I took the SIM card out and put it back in and I have not had the problem since then. It's been a few weeks now.
jartbaker Jul 14, 2010 6:55 PM
in response to rellim08Take it to the Apple store, it's the only fix....... Maybe try standing on your head with your eyes crossed, tongue touching your nose, fingers crossed, naked, with the phone hanging from a nylon string with the proximity sensor covered with electrical tape, phone in a Plastic case with a bumper guard on it......
Worth a shot
texastenor Jul 14, 2010 7:07 PM
in response to rellim08So...I got this message before I even got out of the Apple store on iPhone 4 birthing day (6/24)...went to the Genius bar and they replaced the sim after trying to re-seat it a couple of times...has worked fine since (3 Weeks now).
Also, last week I heard about an issue with the sim cards shorting to the sim card tray...opened mine, took a look and sure enough, the contacts were touching the side of the tray. I did a little minor surgery to the sim card and now the contacts are not touching the tray anymore. (A pair of sharp scissors will trim them down nicely.) Not sure if the 2 issues are related, but it might be worth looking into.

Respond to Review of Loving Hut
by craigmc
Review: i've been to other loving huts and enjoyed them, i cannot say the same for this one. the staff were fine, the service was fast, too fast. there is no way on earth the meals could be freshly prepared with the speed they arrived! the veggies tasted like they had been sitting out all day, they were very dry and tasteless. the salad was like something out of a supermarket plastic bag, lifeless. my main was meant to be a fried noodle dish, it was ready in under five minute, the noodles were awful, like the cheap microwave ones. this was the sort of place meat eater think all veggie food is, plastic and bland. i had to have chocolate when i left. i just hope it was a bad day.

Five Forgettable Seasons
2013 is looking good so far. Despite injuries to their #1 starter, starting leftfielder and cleanup hitter and catcher, the Reds are thick in the race for the Division as Memorial Day awaits. Their MVP is a Boy Named Choo, Votto is hitting like Votto and Bruce looks like he is in the beginning of … Continue reading
Lefty Red Phenoms — before Tony C.
Thank God for Tony Cingrani. The lefthanded rookie hurler kept the Redlegs from getting swept out of Washington, DC with a true gem this past Sunday. Six innings of work, no runs, 11 strikeouts and a win. And this didn't come against the Marlins or Cubs, either. Reds and lefthanded pitchers who are successful don't … Continue reading

I'm running low on plantains aren't words you want to hear when you've waited a good twenty minutes on a line that waddles so slowly down 51st Street you start thinking Le Bernardin would have been quicker. But at least the chef at this midtown spot, bless his soul, rations his plantains instead of taking a pushy paralegal up on her offer to pay extra for more. Although Wall Streeters have long had access to grab-and-go Jamaican at O'Neil's truck, this gleaming satellite-dish-equipped stand is an anomaly in midtown, and an affordable lifesaver for the West Indian expats (executives, secretaries, FedEx guys) who work there. There is a certain liberty taken with the Styrofoam platters, which never seem to contain all the sides the menu promises (boiled dumpling, white rice, rice and peas, plantain, yellow yam, vegetables). But what is there is choice, andexcept for those plantainsplentiful: a quarter of a spicy, herb-rubbed jerk chicken, hacked with a cleaver on a cutting board; a flavorful if not fiery serving of tender goat curry on the bone.

Level 3 Day 3

Saturday, January 12, 2013
What a week! I do believe that the course of antibiotics not only got rid of the infection, but also purged my body of all the Remeron. All of a sudden, terrible side effects again and wickedly depressed and ragged. Insomnia. Stomach problems. Irritability. I feel sorry for my students. They were beastly and I was beastly as well. It was a long week.
Even with all the issues, I have still done the 30 Day Shred every day. I just finished day 3 of Level 3. Absolutely surreal. There's one move I just cannot manage to do: in a plank pose on the hand weights, doing alternating rows and leg lifts. My legs keep giving out. But I'm hanging in there, even with the ridiculous difficulty of shadow boxing and jumping jacks with hand weights. I feel good when I've finished each day. I think it's the only thing keeping me from going on a smack-in-the-head spree at work. The exercising gets rid of the exhaustion and irritation.
I haven't weighed myself in a few days. I'm kind of afraid to. I'm going through another bout of frustration. It feels like I'm barely eating anything, and exercising until my muscles feel like jelly, and yet my clothes are not getting any looser, and I'm not seeing much improvement in the mirror. I'm suspecting that what I need to do is add a second session of cardio in the morning before work, but it's hard to find the energy. Our PE class is doing a line dancing unit; when we have gym on Mondays and Wednesdays we dance along with the video for about 20 minutes. This week we learned the Zydeco Bounce. It's good for an extra 100 calories or so. According to all the charts and graphs, I should be under what the scale tells me. And it's not happening. More water? Less sodium? More exercise? I don't know.

A Shelf of Treasures, Always Fresh
By MARK BITTMAN
Published: October 13, 1999
COOKBOOKS pose an unusual problem: their true value can be determined only over time. No quick read-through can distinguish the great from the merely good. No reviewer is going to cook every single recipe to see if they all work. Instead, a cookbook is a lot like other pieces of kitchen equipment: it needs to be used for months, maybe years, before you know whether it really makes it -- that it truly is, as the blurb always says, indispensable.
A pity it takes so long. By the time a good cookbook proves that it is in fact great, it has probably been relegated to the back shelves of the bookstore and replaced on the display tables by this year's models, mostly mediocre to poor.
Without doubt one of the best ways to search for cookbooks is to reach into the past. I rarely refer to cookbooks that have been published in the last couple of years, turning instead to those I have come to know and trust; perhaps one book joins the list each year. And an informal survey of experienced home cooks, food writers, cookbook editors and authors, and bookstore owners and buyers indicated that my experience is anything but unique.
What was surprising, however, was that the same titles kept coming up in those conversations. And gratifyingly, many were the same as those on the list I'd rather not live without. This list is incomplete and personal, of course, but the books share qualities that make them enduring.
These books are all meant to live in the kitchen, not on a coffee table. They're comprehensive, with wide perspectives that give a rich sense of the areas of cooking they cover.
They contain information not readily available elsewhere, and sometimes they are the only game in town. Each has a personality and a life that makes it readable. And finally, the recipes work. A friend insists that if a cookbook gives you 5 good new recipes, it's a success. Perhaps, but how do you find those 5 if the 200 others are failures?
Most of these books are in print, though some are more widely available than others. The hard-to-find specimen often turns up on line; among the better sources are www2.alibris.com, Amazon.com and Bookfinder.com. Kitchen Arts and Letters, 1435 Lexington Avenue, New York 10128 (near 93d Street), (212) 876-5550, is also a good bet.
A BOOK OF MIDDLE EASTERN FOOD -- by Claudia Roden (Vintage Books, 1974; $16). Ms. Roden's most recent book, THE BOOK OF JEWISH FOOD -- (Knopf, 1996), was an instant classic. But this volume, first published in 1968, covers a broader, more important topic. I love it for its flavors, its accessibility and its warmth. Ms. Roden grew up as a Jew in Egypt, and she has a pleasantly unusual perspective on the region's cuisine. More important, she has a brilliant palate, sound judgment and a near-perfect recipe-writing technique. Organized traditionally, by food groups, the book includes 50 pages of mezze (appetizers) and salads, nearly a dozen kibbeh (ground meat dishes), a survey of unusual beverages and yogurt dishes and much more -- it's not just an introduction to Middle Eastern food but a true guidebook. Few 30-year-old books feel as current, not only in language but also in ingredients and method. And passages like this one have made the book a favorite of cooks who like to read: ''Every year, a type of migrating quail flies over Alexandria. Hundreds of the small birds fall, exhausted, on the dunes of the beaches of Agama, to be caught in large nets and collected in baskets. They are marinated in a rich sauce flavored with cumin and coriander, and grilled on the beaches over numerous little fires.'' This is followed by a simple, irresistible recipe for the marinade.
MASTER RECIPES -- by Stephen Schmidt (Clear Light, second edition, 1998; $29.95). Mr. Schmidt, a New Yorker who teaches cooking and occasionally writes for cooking magazines, practically perfected the recipe-and-variation cookbook format. In 1989, the first edition of this book met with critical but not commercial success and fell out of print. Fortunately, there is a new edition, with some updating. Mr. Schmidt's instructions are deliberate and clear, and there are delightful common-sense surprises throughout. But the key to this book is that it teaches cooking, and does so correctly. This correctness leads to some unusual recipe titles, like ''Braised Beef Stew Meat (or Lamb Stew Meat, or Beef Pot Roast or Round Steak),'' but they get the message across. The long, painstakingly detailed recipes -- the one for beef stew runs more than 1,500 words -- can be followed by a novice. And the variations (the beef stew recipe has 11) are sensible and easy to follow.
CHARMAINE SOLOMON'S ENCYCLOPEDIA OF ASIAN FOOD -- (Periplus Editions, 1996; $39.95). This book, the newest on my list, filled an empty hole: it's the closest thing to an Asian Larousse, and sorely needed. Ms. Solomon, who lives in Australia, gives nearly equal weight to the cooking of two dozen countries, including Indonesia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and others that are rarely mentioned elsewhere. There is no Asian technique or ingredient I could think of that this book did not define adequately, and there are 500 good recipes and dozens of beautiful, detailed color illustrations (unfortunately grouped in the back). If you just want to know the difference between palm sugar and jaggery and the uses for each, this is the place. More important, if you want seven distinctive and authentic variations on curry paste, they are here, too.
