Officials said the attack was related to Western security alerts that have force several countries to evacuate diplomatic staff from Yemen, as well as close embassies around the world.
Two vehicles were incinerated in the drone strike in Shabwa province, leaving the seven occupants dead.
It was the fifth drone strike in ten days as the US seeks to disrupt advanced planning for a terrorist attack by Yemeni-based extremists.
American has carried out a series of deadly strikes in Yemen against havens for al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), since the US government intercepted communications between Ayman al-Zawahri, the al-Qaeda leader and Nasser al-Wuhayshi, its local head, about plans for a major attack.

Yemen's government claimed separately that it had seen off at least one aspect of AQAP planning by thwarting a plan to seize al- Dhabah oil export terminal, where foreign nationals were working. The group was also prevented from targetting the cities of Mukalla and Bawzeer and despatching loyalists disguised as Yemeni troops to attack the Belhaf gas plant, Rageh Badi, a government spokesman said. The government saturated the region with troops to protect the facilities.
US officials said the plot was just one component of AQAP's efforts and told the Washington Post that the drone strikes were "buying time" in the battle against the group.
While Yemeni officials have been angered by the scale of the US response to the threat, the government spokesman said yesterday the threat had not gone away.

"Concerns remain high about other plots and plans by al-Qaeda," Mr Badi said. "This pushed some Western countries to close down their embassies and evacuate their diplomats."
Yemen's government has boosted security around government buildings and embassies as the evacuations continue.
Security checkpoints have been set up and soldiers in armored vehicles are patrolling the streets of Sanaa, the capital.
It suffered a set back when eight troops were killed, including a brigadier general, when their helicopter was shot down over a pipeline.
The US government shut 22 embassies and consulates from West Africa to South Asia and flew its personnel out of Yemen on Tuesday. Britain removed its Yemen-based diplomatic team at the same time. Both countries advised their nationals to leave.
The alert was focused on an imminent threat around the Eid festival that marks the end of Ramadan but has since been extended until the end of August.
"Its too early to tell whether we've actually disrupted anything," a senior US official told the Washington Post newspaper.

My company used Don to file a complex breach of contract case. To say that Don is an excellent advocate is an understatement. At all times, we felt that he anticipated our needs, handled everything with the utmost professionalism, and produced some incredibly well-articulated documents that I'm sure made all the difference. I rarely take the time to write reviews like this, but I was just so impressed with Don that it's worth the effort to let others know about him.
Posted by a Employment client
Don was recommended to me by another highly recomended Employment Law Partner @ Perkins Coie who could not work with me because his practice was defending corporations FROM employment claims. As Don's bio indicates, he also used to be a Partner @ Perkins defending corporate employment claims so he offers a GREAT background/experience/perspective. He listens well and offers great insights/alternatives/strategies in dealing with corporations in which I got an extremely favorable outcome. I would/have highly recommend Don.

Don Heyrich is one of the most effective attorney's I have met. He was extremely understanding, patient and more importantly a good listener. I enjoyed working with him becuase of his knowledge in the law, and his ability to ask all the right questions. Additionally, he was available at all times to answer my questions.
His attentiveness and patience is why I would recommend him as a great attorney.
Posted by a client
I've known Don for 10 years now and watched his career progress to the point where he became a partner in the Labor practice at one of the best firms in Seattle. Don has extensive experience acting on behalf of such clients as Boeing & Qwest to name a few high-profile names but I was precluded from using him because of our firms engagement with someone else.
Don has since opened his own office and I had the pleasure of using him on a specific labor matter. I felt like I had the services of a very high quality labor attorney but for a very reasonable price.
Don was quick and responsive and he comes with my highest recommendation.
Posted by a Employment client
Don Heyrich has performed outside counsel services for two companies where I have worked, and has had excellent results for both companies. I also previously worked in the same law firm as Don Heyrich. I have known Don Heyrich for 5 years now and would highly recommend his services. He is honest and trustworthy and has been highly successful at getting the best possible results for his clients.

BRIDGEWATER, Pa. (June 3, 2014) A Pennsylvania man accused of sneaking into a fire department, stealing a fire truck, and then taking a woman on a 30-minute joyride, has been charged with unauthorized use of a vehicle and burglary, among other offenses.
Fire officials saw the 47-year-old man on May 26 as he entered the Bridgewater Volunteer Fire Department, grabbed the truck's keys and then drove away with a woman in the passenger seat.
The man returned the truck and the keys to their original positions about 30 minutes later, police said.

Hispanics will bolt Arizona
Published on Tue, Apr 27, 2010
Now that Arizona has enacted the most xenophobic anti-immigration law in this country, get ready for the big Hispanic exodus.
But it won't be an exodus back to Mexico or to Central America. It will be a stampede toward Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago and other cities with huge Hispanic populations, where Latinos will be able to live without fear of being stopped by police because of the color of their skin or for speaking Spanish.
According to a bill passed by the Arizona legislature and signed into law Friday, police officers would have to arrest anyone when they have "reasonable suspicion" that the person does not have valid immigration papers. And it would allow anyone to sue local or state officials who they believe aren't carrying out the law.

Samantha Stylle has a wacky idea - she'll throw a male beauty pageant, with all her pornchick galpals as the judges. The girls pick their faves, and retire to the bedrooms for what turns out to be often hot sex, with the gimmick being that the girls get on top for a portion of the scene. Best of the bunch is a super-hot coupling between Meriesa Arroyo and some Euro-boy named Mario whose thick accent appears to be a source of high comedy for all the partygoers. The chemistry between the two performers is excellent, resulting in an energetic fuck with lots of swiveling hips.

Watching streaming video on your PC is great — until poor computer performance or a slow network turns it into an unwatchable mess.
But it doesn't have to be that way. Frequent pauses, video breakup, stutters, and hangs can often be eliminated with some simple fixes.
Unplugging streaming video bottlenecks
Reader Charles ran into a problem that we all encounter from time to time.
- "When I attempt to play streaming news or television videos, my computer pauses every few seconds. This is continuous through the end of the video. How can I go about correcting this problem?"
OK, I'll be serious. There are usually two reasons for erratic video playback: simple system overload or Internet connection problems — sometimes both.
When a PC is juggling too many things at once, it may no longer support the high demands of video playback. Your video then pauses, stutters, breaks up, or drops to a lower resolution.
That fix is simple: shut down all unneeded apps while you're watching streaming videos. Especially avoid any software that makes heavy use of the PC's Internet connection, CPU, or hard drive.

Skip to comments.Man shoots and kills charging dog in Charlotte County(FL)
Posted on 11/22/2012 4:50:18 AM PST by marktwain
GULF COVE, Fla. - A man out on a walk Tuesday morning came face to face with two charging dogs in Gulf Coast. He shot and killed one of the dogs.
A witness told deputies he saw the entire incident in the area of Gillot Boulevard and Holton Terrace.
Deputies met with Frank Gross, 63, who lives several blocks away on Flemming Street. He advised he was out for his usual five-mile walk along the same route he takes every day. He said two large Boxer dogs were let out of the home at 5403 Holton Terrace and were not on leashes. Gross said he was across the street and the two dogs came charging towards him. He said he yelled for the dogs to get back, but they kept coming. Fearing for his safety, Gross told deputies he reached into his fanny pack and withdrew a .22 caliber pistol and fired one shot killing one of the dogs; the second dog fled.
If you can't afford a home with a yard contained by a fence or are too lazy to walk your own large, aggressive dogs on a leash, you get what's coming to you.
>>More than one dog is a "pack". Dogs in a pack behave much differently than individual dogs.
Very good point! I think it must be something to do with the hunting instinct - none of them wants to be last at the table.
The dogs were coming to lick him
Over exuberant killing
The story says he takes this 5 mile walk along the same route every day. He lives a few blocks away.
It would be hard to convince me that he has not encountered these same two dogs before. This day he took his pistol with him, and shot one of them.
I feel the shooting was intentional.
Now we do not know the circumstances.
1. Was he bitten before?
2. Did he ask the man who owns th dogs to keep them penned?
3. Why couldn't he change his daily route so as to not meet these dogs?
4. Did the dog owner deliberately turn the dogs loose on this man?
"The dogs were coming to lick him"
Certainly possible but unless you were there to see the event you can't really say that for sure.
People should be free to walk down the street without being accosted by uncontrolled dogs. The dog paid the price for the lazy owner.
>>This day he took his pistol with him, and shot one of them.
Where did you read that he only carried the gun on "this day"? He might carry a gun every day.
Also, a human should not have to change his daily route to avoid uncontrolled aggressive dogs. Talking to the owner is useless in most cases because all you get is the old "awww, these dogs wouldn't hurt a fly!" response. Or you might get an angrier response and wind up having to shoot the owner.
Calling Animal Control us useless too. If they even show up, they'll tell the owner to restrain his dogs and he'll say that he will...and he won't do it after they're gone.
This is Florida and we don't have an obligation to retreat from a human attacker, so a large attacking dog certainly gets shot.
"... fired one shot killing one of the dogs..."
Somebody has been spending time at the range.
The original story says that there was a witness who saw the dogs charging Gross. The witness said the dog that was shot was about a foot away from where Gross was standing when it was shot.
A foot is much to close to large dog that is acting very aggressively.
"fired one shot killing one of the dogs..."
"Somebody has been spending time at the range"
More like, "The dogs approached him and one of them stood still long enough for him to shoot it." I believe this was planned. I've yet to meet a Boxer that is truly aggressive.
In my opinion this man has had this happen more than once he walks the same route every day,and this day he decided to shoot the dog.
The right or wrong of it is not the topic of discussion to me, but I do believe he started out this morning with his mind made up to shoot the dog.
You do not have to be a great marksman to hit a large animal a foot away from you.
Your opinion would imply that he expected the dogs to be running loose.
See my post 14
It is certainly possible.
If police departments were like college football teams, this man would be widely recruited.
1. Irrelevant
2. Not his responsibility
3. Why can't he assume he can walk on public land where ever he damn well pleases.
4. Is he supposed to figure that out while being mauled? ABSURD!
BANG! BANG! End of story. . .He was well within his rights to defend himself against two aggressive dogs that were charging him.
Then the owner of the dog is responsible. If your imagination is correct, then this poor man is attacked by these dogs often and he finally got fed up.
Plug this into your imagination: if the man walked by the dogs every day and poked them with a stick through a fence, and one day the fence was open, would you blame the dogs for getting fed up with the daily abuse and attacking him?
I have 3 labrador retrievers. A nice fellow walks every day in my neighborhood, swinging a cane. I keep my dogs inside, unless they go to their fenced yard in the back.... But every day when he passes by, they are jumping at the window, like they are wanting to get outside and tear this guy a new orifice. I keep my dogs contained. They bark. He goes by. All is well. He carries his cane, not because he needs it to walk, but because he might need it to protect himself. He too, probably carries a fire-arm in his fanny-pack. Good for him. I love my dogs, I also know that idiots turn their dogs out, without a second thought. Whether lab or pit bull.... If you love your dogs, keep them contained and away from those who may be bearing arms and potentially fearing for their life.
I find boxers to be as affectionate as pit bulls. If you
don't run usually your all right. As long as they don't
sense any fear and feel any threat then once you pet them, your pals. Great dogs.
"The dogs were coming to lick him
Over exuberant killing"
Most likely the case here.
Charging dogs?!?!!?
What kind of credit card were they using?
Pooches running up to greet usually show it with their body language. Tail wags, teeth not bared.
The legal bottom line is that:
1) Dogs are animals. They do not have civil rights.
2) Dogs are property. Despite the emotional attachment their owners may assign to them, and the invariable, "If you hurt my dog I will kill you!", the law does not see it that way.
If a dog menaces a person, "in their opinion", and they kill that dog, they are not even guilty of animal cruelty, unless the means they used was intended to cause suffering, not just kill. Likewise, they are generally not even subject to civil liability.
In many cities across the US, dogs are not permitted to wander unleashed. If they are unleashed, and off your property, they may be killed at will.
Any unlicensed, unleashed dog off your property may be killed at any time, by a citizen, the police, or animal control.
Was he packin' heat for humanoids or animals on his daily runs?....I report, you decide.
My daughter and I were out one day for a walk when, from across a small field a huge Golden Lab came tearing out of its yard and running toward us full tilt. It got right to us, looking as if it were about to lunge, then promptly fell down, rolled over onto its back and peed all over itself.
I'm inclined to think that these boxers were victims of circumstance.
I love dogs and am a responsible dog owner, but I detest irresponsible dogs/owners who let their charges run free to threaten people and do damage to personal property.
Good for Frank and good for the local authorities for recognizing that Frank had the right to defend himself. Tough toenails for the dog owner in this case. This case rings a bell with me because I have been in the same situation as Frank, but I wasn't armed at the time, but since, I have been carrying my Baretta 92F.
Also, at a public forum in my home county, the county sheriff had the gall, when asked a question about nuisance animals/pets attacking citizens, to say that such a response as Frank's would be subject to criminal prosecution—that's when this alleged Republican sheriff in TX lost my vote. The good sheriff won re-election, but without my vote, and that's okay.
Democrat = Good Shoot
Republican = Crazed Dog Killer
You got it all wrong!
It was 'BANG! End of story...'
(sorry couldn't resist 8^)
Right. It could be the man has been hitting on one of the daughters of the dog owner and got her pregnant. The dog owner found out about it and threatened the man. The man started carrying a gun when he walks fearing the dog owner might come after him with a gun. The dog owner thought up a brilliant plan to go after him with his dogs. He looked out his window and saw the man go for a walk and set the dogs loose. The dog owner also voted for Obama. Yeah that's the ticket
Nothing in the article suggests that the dogs were aggressive.
On the other hand many people are fearful of dogs, and two large dogs running at someone who is uncomfortable with dogs may trigger a defensive reaction.
If an owner cares about their dogs they should leash, fence, or supervise them.
You should walk around my neighborhood then. Aggressive Boxers and Beagles abound.
Now we do not know the circumstances.
1. Was he bitten before?
2. Did he ask the man who owns the dogs to keep them penned?
3. Why couldnt he change his daily route so as to not meet these dogs?
1. what does it matter if he was bitten or not?
2. How the hell is he supposed to know who owns the dogs. Better yet, can he make it to his front porch with 2 dogs hanging on his legs?
3. Change his route huh? Here is your liberal entry into the world of LaLa. Why should he have to change his route? To ignore the problem and let some other person get bit by these dogs while he did nothing about the problem?
4. Your reply to this statement was simply stupid. Don't you think the man who shot the dogs would have mentioned that?
In summary: You are a true liberal. Rather than to solve the problem you believe you should solve the result of the problem and let the cause of the problem continue time after time after time.
The fact is that the man shot the dog and solved the problem. In addition that, he saved himself from possible harm and worse yet...death.
If similar incidents had previously happened, the person (or persons) at fault are the dogs owners, period. And the shooter was even more within his rights to have taken steps to prepare to protect himself.
My across the street neighbor has a female German Shepherd who is very docile, and a "mop-type" yapper who is very aggressive. Both dogs are allowed to "free run" (despite the local leash laws). The yapper has a habit of attacking people who walk or run down the street, and has bitten one person. I can guarantee that if that little ****** bites me, he is dead whenever I next see him. The Shepherd is a garbage binger, and invariably overturns at least one topless garbage can on pickup day.
Other neighbors have complained, yet these people have taken no action to change things. IOW, they are irresponsible ass holes (and probably voted for Obama).
MY dogs stay in their fenced yard, and only go out on leash.
I get my exercise indoors (treadmill/stepper/weights), but if I were to take up an outdoor run/walk regimen, I WOULD be armed at all times.
It's really as simple as that.
"Was he packin' heat for humanoids or animals on his daily runs?....I report, you decide."
You're kidding, right? He was packing heat because he has a right to "pack heat".
Nice try Lib.
>>Right. It could be the man has been hitting on one of the daughters of the dog owner and got her pregnant. The dog owner found out about it and threatened the man.

What does that ridiculous story have to do with this thread? Read the OP. The dogs left the owner's property and attacked the walker who had a gun (as many of us do in Florida) on a public street. You don't wait until your forearm is in a powerful dog's mouth before you fight back. Again, a Floridian does NOT have an obligation to retreat, especially from a threat that can easily run you down. The five simple words, "I feared for my life" is sufficient cause.
What do you mean by aggressive? Boxers love to play and they play by "boxing". Do they bite people?
Being confronted close-up by an aggressive dog is a very exciting experience.
Wild-eyed, snapping and growling, not backing away, and moving with lightning agility, a savage dog will get your heart rate up in seconds.
The last time it happened to me, I was wishing I had my .38 Special.
And of course your question isn't appropriate.
In other words yes the dogs had charged him but they stopped when they got close to him. That's when he shot him, I'll bet, when they had stopped short of him as most dogs do.
Can you imagine kids playing outside as some guy reaches in his pack, pulls a gun out and then shoots at a moving dog??? Would you want such a person walking through your neighborhood??
These dogs or others in the neighborhood had probably charged him before interrupting his sacred walk but never injuring him. So he just wanted to teach them and their owner a lesson.
He will probably be personna non-grata now as people in the neighborhood when they see him coming will rush to bring their children and dogs inside for fear that he will reach into his fanny pack again if a dog comes up to him.
Well it's possible he was gunning for humanoids and it's possible so do you.
I report others can decide.
I have found that owners of large, aggressive dogs are often arrogant and entitled. We had a neighbor across the street and one house over who did not care if his dogs got out. I had the dog attack me when I went out to get our mail and run after my toddler in our own front yard. Fortunately, my children were not hurt.
I confronted the owner several times as well as his teenaged son who did not care whether the gate was closed when he left in the morning. They asked what we were doing to antagonize the dogs, what my child did to aggravate it, etc.
The problem was solved when I showed up when all family members were present. I informed the whole family (parents and teenagers) that their dog had gotten out, come to my home and tried to bite my child on my property. The next time I saw it outside their yard and not on a leash, I would shoot it, because it would promptly cross the street and try to attack us as being on "its" property.
The son tried to say it just got out and sniffed around. I explained to the parents it had come into my yard twice, nearly bit my toddler twice, on my yard, after seeing us from its front yard and running over. Then I reiterated, the next time it is outside of your yard and not on a leash, I will shoot it in defense of my family. They tried to argue. "I'm willing to kill an animal to protect my young child. If you do not like that, that is the fault of your child for failing to control the animal. And after I shoot it, I will call the police to say your negligence threatened the life of MY children." The son asked what I'd do if there was a person just showed up in my home. I said I'd shoot a human intruder in defense of my family even faster, but was giving them one last chance to control the animal. Then I left.
The next day, there were boards up on the holes and gates of the fence. The son now only parked in the driveway, not in the garage where he had to open the driveway gate and the dog would wander out. After the absolute threat of killing the animal, after explaining our clear and present danger, they were willing to fix the problem.
Talking to the teenager, the mother separately and the father politely did no good. They said I exaggerated, heard each other's minimization of my statements or criticized me for letting my child in the front yard (though I was right there with them).
Only the threat of a dead animal and police intervention (after dead animal) was enough to provoke action.
Same here. When I moved into my present neighborhood, my wife and I decided to take a walk around the block, several snarling dogs surrounded us in the street, we were immobilized. A woman came out of her house and called them off.
I told her that we had just moved into the area and that any time she saw me in the future, be assured, that I would be armed. I made an enemy that day but the dogs never came out again.
This is Illinois and all she had to do would be to call the cops the next time and if I had a gun on me, I would go to jail. I carried an aluminum base ball bat with me instead - better than nothing.
I had a similar problem with an ex neighbor who had several pitts they kept trying to jump my fence or break it down by throwing themselves at it to get to my dog. I had asked several times for him to control his dogs to no avail. I finally informed him if they got in my yard and killed my dog I would be coming after him as it was his responsibility to control the dogs and the dogs didnt didnt know better but he did...he chained them up and moved shortly thereafter....
I guess "cleaning" my shotgun in the yard when he was outside and target practice with plastic primer powered blanks in my pistol caught his attention....the sound of a shotgun slide being racked seems to have universal understanding that crosses all language, cultural and stupidity barriers...
People here in Florida often jog while armed for protection. You didn't get my post at all, you humorless boob who rarely posts on FR.
When you have something comparable to my 14 years on FR as a poster and Class of '98 veteran of the Clinton-years trench warfare, as "BahamaMama" (organizer of three FR fund-raising cruises), as member of the former FR Board of Directors and FAB (Forum Advisory Board), as "FRiva Diva" doing promotion for the Las Vegas FR convention, as reviver and re-organizer of my state's comatose FR chapter, etc. etc and so forth.....THEN you may be qualified to call me a "lib".
Like I said previously, I am not giving an opinion on whether or not the man was right in what he did.
Only my opinion that he set out that morning with intent.
I have had the same problems with dogs and when one of them came in my garage and attacked me, lets just say he won't attack me any longer.
I agree with your assessment of people with aggressive dogs, since the dogs are not attacking them, they assume the dog will not attack others.

Lance Armstrong to Address Doping Scandal in 'No-Holds-Barred' Interview With Oprah Winfrey
Lance Armstrong agrees to give his first exclusive interview to Oprah Winfrey since he was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles and banned from cycling. The former athlete will appear on "Oprah's Next Chapter" in a special 90-minute episode.
The OWN media mogul will visit the 41-year-old cyclist for the upcoming "no-holds-barred" chat at his home in Austin, Texas. It will air Thursday, January 17 at 9:00 - 10:30 P.M. ET/PT and will be simultaneously streamed LIVE worldwide on Oprah.com.
"Looking forward to this conversation with @lancearmstrong," Oprah hypes up the upcoming episode on Twitter without giving any other details.
Announcing his retirement in 2011, Armstrong decided in August 2012 not to continue his fight against doping allegations brought by the US Anti-Doping Agency. He insisted his decision was not an admission of guilt, but a move to dedicate more time to his family and his Livestrong foundation to help cancer survivors.
It's unclear if he will make a confession regarding the alleged years-long scandal in the Oprah interview, but sources claim to WJS that he does consider to do it to rebuild his reputation. Rumor has it, he has consulted with associates at his home in Hawaii, and will emphasize that any doping he did was years ago.
Furthermore, Armstrong might give his lengthy side of story about the scandal in a tell-all book. Words are, he has been approached by several authors who are interested in co-penning the book but hasn't made a deal about the project just yet.

While saying farewell the night before he died, Jesus told those with him that he "had other sheep that are not of this fold" and that those with him at that moment were not his only followers. Importantly, he also said he longed for unity with those others just as deeply as he longed for unity with those in the room with him.

Even when the one favoured to be elected the new pope prior to the conclave actually is elected, it is still a surprise. That's how it was when Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was chosen almost eight years ago. As often as not, however, the choice is a bolt out of the blue – Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli in 1958, Albino Luciani and Karol Wojtyla in 1978.
Some years ago, I was at a religious conference where one of the speakers, widely known and respected for her work among the poor, made this comment: "I'm not a theologian, so I don't know how this plays out theologically; but here's the base from which I'm operating: I work with the poor. Partly I do this out of my humanity, out of natural compassion; but ultimately my motivation is Christ.

Most studies on the function of tocopherols in plants have focused on their photo-protective and antioxidant properties, and it has been recently suggested, though not yet demonstrated, that they may also play a role in cellular signaling. By using vte1 mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana, with an insertion in the promoter region of the gene encoding tocopherol cyclase, we demonstrate here for the first time that tocopherol deficiency may alter endogenous phytohormone levels in plants, thereby reducing plant growth and triggering anthocyanin accumulation in leaves. In plants grown under a combination of high light and low temperature conditions to induce anthocyanin accumulation, we evaluated age-dependent changes in tocopherols, indicators of photo-oxidative stress, phytohormone levels, plant growth and anthocyanin levels in wild type and vte1 mutants. These mutants showed lower tocopherol levels, reduced growth and enhanced anthocyanin accumulation compared with the wild type, while both the maximum and relative efficiencies of PSII, chlorophylls, and carotenoids were not significantly altered. Analyses of phytohormone levels revealed that reduced growth and enhanced anthocyanin accumulation in tocopherol-deficient plants were preceded by increased jasmonic acid levels. This is the first study suggesting a direct effect of tocopherols on phytohormones levels in plants and will undoubtedly help us to better understand the multiple functions tocopherols play in plants, as well as the cellular signaling mechanisms responsible for the phenotypes thus far described in tocopherol-deficient plants.

In another sign of the recovery of the Center City condo market, sales will resume Thursday at 1352 Lofts on South Street near Broad, a little less than four years after the unsold units went to sheriff's sale.
Ben Oller, principal in the Condo Shop, which is handling sales, said the remaining 42 units at the six-story building would be sold at prices ranging from $380 to $500 a square foot.
No new units have been sold since the lender, Amalgamated Bank of New York, bought all but one of the remaining condos at the December 2009 sheriff's sale in Philadelphia.

Inspired by Cinderella, an Otago Polytechnic student has
designed an award-winning dessert which is serving as her
meal ticket to a three-day Australasian master class and
competition in Melbourne.
Stephanie Peirce (21) won the New Zealand final of the Proud
to be a Chef competition with a dish she designed for the
pastry course component of a bachelor of culinary arts
It has qualified her for the Australasian final, comprising
the region's top 30 trainee chefs at a cook-off in February.
Another three New Zealand finalists have been selected for
the Melbourne event.
Miss Peirce said her dessert was inspired by Cinderella and
the transformation of the golden carriage into a pumpkin at
Originally from Millers Flat, Miss Peirce incorporated
pumpkin in reference to her family which owned Peirce Orchard
(the Pumpkin Place).
She started cooking early and by age 6 could make pancakes on
her own.
"For as long as I can remember I always wanted to be a chef
and was always baking with mum and grandma. Working with food
doesn't really seem like a job, I really enjoy it," she said.
Miss Peirce was also a keen artist and chose the polytechnic
course because it offered her the chance to combine her
passions for food and design.
Her win was even more special because she had not previously
entered a culinary competition.
"It is so fantastic to win an award for work I did for my
"It means all the work I put into designing and developing
this dish has an application in the real world," she said.
Miss Peirce is interested in becoming a pastry chef and
eventually a culinary teacher.
Three of her classmates - Rosie Soper, Amanda Ede and Sarah
Stevens - were also among the competition's 10 New Zealand
finalists, selected from about 65 applicants.
Bachelor of culinary arts programme manager Tony Heptinstall
said it was a significant achievement, as no other
institution had had more than two students in the national

year with 50 students, he said.

Started this thread there are often questions about Marrakech nightlife - I know there are already other threads but many are out of date so here is my list of current recommendations:
Then there is a whole range of lounge bar / restaurants which are suitable for dining and/or drinking - expect to pay UK prices (or even more!) to eat and drink:
Le Comptoir Darna, Gossip, So Lounge, Azar, Djellabar, L'Apero, BoZin, NoussNouss, Jad Mahal etc
For a more casual drink at anytime of the day with a cafe/pub atmosphere try:
Kechmara, O'Mulligans, The Chesterfield @ Hotel Nassim, Le Brasserie @ Le Renaissance Hotel, Cafe Atlas, Cafe 16, Le Chineur, Hotel Tazi.
Nightclubs - tend not to open until after 10pm and dont get busy until after midnight, there is often a cover charge:
Theatro: http://www.theatromarrakech.com/
Club555: beachclub555.com/Marrakech/555marrakech.php
Silver: http://silvermarrakech.com/
Pacha: http://www.pachamarrakech.com/
There are several others but they are mostly of the more 'seedy' variety so I wouldn't recommend them.
If anyone wants to add their personal recommendations then feel free!

Sending Heart Failure Patients Home Too Soon Can Backfire
Nobody wants to be in the hospital. And even the people who run hospitals don't want you to stay there a moment longer than you have to.
But research appearing in the latest issue of JAMA suggests that the push to send patients home quickly may have gone a little too far when it comes to heart failure.
Between 1996 and 2003, the average length of time Medicare patients spent in the hospital for heart failure fell by 2 1/2 days — to 6.3 days from 8.8 days. Death rates soon after discharge went up and readmissions to the hospital did too.
"At a time when we were focusing on shortening that length of stay we might have been actually worsening some of the outcomes for patients," Yale cardiologist Harlan Krumhotz, senior author on the paper, said in a JAMA video.
There was no breakthrough in the short-term treatment for heart failure during the 14-year period, the study's authors note, but there were strong financial incentive for hospitals to shorten stays.
But the savings reaped by hospitals were probably overwhelmed by additional spending on outpatient care and readmissions, Krumholz told the Wall Street Journal. Patients were released "faster and we capped initial hospital costs, but the downstream costs may have increased," he said. The study didn't look specifically at costs, however.
And, it should be pointed out that the overall mortality rates in the 30 days after someone was first admitted to the hospital for heart failure fell about two percentage points to 10.7 percent during the study period.

Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company today announced that Freddie Fox will be joining the company of Romeo and Juliet, sharing the role of Romeo with Richard Madden. This is to allow Richard Madden sufficient time for his injured ankle to continue to heal and because his doctors have prescribed rest between performances.
Card ticks, mind reading, fire, danger and the winner of Britain's Got Talent are just some of the acts on offer at the Noel Coward in magic show Impossible.
Daring with enough cheese thrown in to make it a fun night Impossible returns to the West End with a variety of new magicians and daredevils. It is a variety of magic show rather than a magic or variety show but it takes a long while to build.
Impossible, currently playing a very limited run at the Noel Coward Theatre in London, is a superbly confusing display of illusions and tricks. Even for a bit of a cynic, like myself, the show is undeniably impressive. The great thing about Impossible is that it features all sorts of tricks – from cards, to mind-reading, to large stunts (and a lot of fire). So, whether there is a specific sort of "magic" that you particularly enjoy, or if you want to see a bit of everything and decide what you like later, this show will do the job. It is fast-paced, exciting, and confusing – perfect!
Overall: A clearly talented cast and crew but Exposure needs to feel less polished and a bit more fun.
Exposure the Musical, at St James Theatre, is a look at the world of celebrity and morals. Our protagonist is Jimmy (David Albury), a young photographer haunted by his late father Ben's (Kurt Kansley) talent and death in an unspecified foreign country as he reunited with his now famous popstar friend Pandora (Niamh Perry) and enters a Faustian pact with her manager Miles Mason (Michael Greco) to expose the modern seven deadly sins. It also looks at the art of photography and the exploitation is naturally causes, not just paparazzi but war photography.
Adapted for the stage by Julian Fellowes, George Stiles and Anthony Drewe, THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS will open at the Theatre Royal Plymouth from 8th October 2016, followed by The Lowry in Salford and Mayflower Theatre in Southampton, prior to opening in London's West End.

Lots of options. Staff seemed knowledgable
Lots of options. Staff seemed knowledgable
Yummy chicken Waldorf salad on a gluten free bun. About half the size (and $2 more) than my husband's non-gf chicken Waldorf salad on a croissant, though.
Really liked this place, ate on the porch outside. Good service and nice GF menu. Waitress seemed pretty aware of celiac. Had the burger on gluten free roll with mashed potatoes.
Love this place! My waitress actually had celiacs herself so I felt extra comfortable ordering. They have freshly made gluten free pasta now, a change this year, and fresh hot crusty delicious GF rolls!!!! So good and also a GF chocolate lava cake desert with bourbon ice cream. This is my second visit and I will return! Recommend for sure
Absolutely Delicious! My boyfriend and I ate here for breakfast. I'm gf and he's not, but the selection was great for both of us. I had Eggs Benedict on gf toast. I sub'd fruit for hash browns since earlier posts said to avoid hash browns bc they may be fried with gluten items. I am extremely sensitive to gluten, but I am pleased to report I did not get sick and I truly enjoyed breakfast. I highly recommend this restaurant!
We stayed for a weekend at the Carroll Villa, so we had vouchers toward breakfast each day at The Mad Batter. We had two successful breakfasts from the gluten free menu, though we were sure to get there early before the busy rush. On the first day, the server told us our daughter shouldn't eat the home fries because they were fried with other things. We were grateful for the warning, but a little confused that they were offered on the "gluten free" menu if this were really the case. Anyway, eggs, bacon, GF toast and the fruit plate (very good size and selection) worked out well for us. No issues.
I was glutened "by mistake".
Seemed like my wife had some cross contamination from her meal. GI system wasn't too happy after eating. Had GF Chowder and GF Tuscan Shrimp Pasta. It was the last order of the night so perhaps their care and guard was down.
My son said, it was the best gluten free dinner he has ever had.
Food was great, but wish they had more options. Not everything on gluten free menu is celiac safe.
celiacs be cautious. kitchen could only offer two items on gf menu with 100 percent no cross contamination. would not recommend too pricey for what you receive.
Delicious Full gluten free menu. I had the margarita pizza. My daughter had a burger on a gf bun.
More choices than most on the gluten free menu. Waiter was accommodating to both my gluten and dairy intolerances, and food was great. My husband also enjoyed his breakfast from the regular menu. Will be returning to try lunch/dinner.
Very good GF menu. My husband and I split a fish sandwich on a GF roll. It was so fresh and tasty, which is always a nice surprise for GF bread! I wish we could have had the fries, but not GF free. They substitued a salad with no charge. no symptoms of illness after. I wish I had time to go back for so many other GF options!
The GF black bean pie (taco dish) dish was horrible. It was like eating dry air. And it was $29 dollars (with shrimp) I sent it back. Then I got a GF pizza with mushroom and assorted cheeses. Which was better than the black bean pie (taco dish) but not nearly as good as the many gluten free frozen pizzas I buy for myself at stores. I don't recommend going here. It is very over priced and not good. Also my date got a dish that they were also very unsatisfied with.
Finally a restaurant with many gf options for breakfast lunch and dinner and not just chicken. Adorable place, food is excellent, on a street in Cape May with the victorian house. Everything is perfect.

This is an Iranian staple, and yet I would change up the recipe slightly. . . This is how we traditionally had it in our household. Instead of lemon juice, I would use the juice of 2 FRESHLY squeezed limes, and 2 tablespoons of FRESHLY chopped basil (Persian Basil preferred). And a tablespoon of dried mint. Be generous with the salt.
Made this as a side for dinner one night when the ac was out. Very tasty, only change was to use mint as suggested by other reviewers since we were out of parsley. Going into the regular rotation for sure! Click for the cure: http://pages.teamintraining.org/va/rnrh10/lselby
Yum! Made it with fresh lemon juice and basil instead of parsley. Enjoyed and will be adding it to our regular meal rotation.
Alawys favorite! I would sometimes make it with lime juice instead for a little different flavor. This is a very common persian salad.
Simply delicious! I took this salad to a seafood boil dinner and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it! Great for any outdoor party! Thanks for posting!
Looks good
So refreshing. I did use fresh squeezed lime, since I only had bottled lemon. This is better the longer you can let it sit, I made four hours ahead of serving.
Simply delicious! we used cilantro instead of parsley (because that's what I had on hand) and we really enjoyed. I can see us having this fairly frequently. =)
Easy, fast, very nice summer dish. I used flat parsley, and added some basil and mint. Everything from the garden. Well received by my guests.
Great salad! Just goes to show that good food doesn't need to be complicated. This was very tasty and very refreshing. I can see having this come up frequently in our rotation! Thanks for posting!

Subject 13: the next game from the creator of Flashback
Flashback and Future Wars creator Paul Cuisset is set to return with a new adventure game called Subject 13...
We're not ashamed to admit that we're old enough to remember spending hours on French game designer Paul Cuisset's work from the 80s and 90s. Future Wars was a point-and-click adventure which took an ordinary window cleaner on a sci-fi adventure through time and space. Flashback was a side-scrolling action game with the slick presentation and atmosphere of a Hollywood blockbuster like Total Recall.
Cuisset's other games also included Cruise For A Corpse, Fade To Black and Moto Racer. His most recent game as director, however, was the critically-derided survival horror game, Amy, from 2012.
Nevertheless, we're excited to learn about Subject 13, which sounds like a return to the sort of games Cuisset was making in the 90s; it's an adventure game, for one thing, and like Flashback, its science fiction story deals with memory and the sudden relocation to an unfamiliar world. Here's a brief snippet from the press release:
In Subject 13, players will take on the role of Franklin Fargo, a reclusive physics professor. Fargo leads a solitary and bitter existence following the death of his fiancée, Sophie, during a robbery that should have targeted him. One morning, he wakes up in an abandoned underground scientific facility with no external contact other than a mysterious voice. The voice calls him "Subject 13." As Franklin Fargo, players will interact with the 3D environment around them by collecting, using, and manipulating objects to overcome a multitude of devious barriers to the professor's escape.
Cuisset's making Subject 13 with the indie developer Microids, a French team with a long history of their own - their games have included the Nicky Boom series of games from the 1990s, as well as the adventure titles Syberia and Far Gate. Other than that, little is known about this new game, but given that it's a new title from one of the most famous designers in France, that alone is reason enough to keep an eye on its future developments.
For now, there's a first, teasing image from the game. We're guessing this is the first of many puzzles we'll have to solve as Professor Fargo...

4. Give backDavid Beckham is in a privileged position and it's good that he knows it. He realises that the good times wouldn't have come for him if it hadn't been for people supporting him through the bad times, and fans inspiring him to succeed. Beckham has money and he has a reputation. He's a leader after all, so if he puts his name on something people will follow. Beckham has pledged his support to a number of causes including UNICEF and the Unite for Aids campaign.
His most recent work, well, the work of the Beckham family, was to design T-shirts for Sport Relief that encourages the country to get active, whilst raising money. One of the T-shirts is a Beckham self-portrait (as can be seen in the main picture).
Be like Becks: You've worked hard to get where you are, but at one point someone once gave you a hand to get there. Don't underestimate the reward you'll get from giving back. One simple way you can give back is to sign yourself up for Sport Relief, which takes place in March.

What Is Elbow Replacement Surgery?
In this article
Recovery and Physical Therapy
You'll learn simple exercises and other types of physical therapy to help your arm get stronger and move better. You'll do "range of motion" exercises, such as bending and straightening your arm.
Elbow replacement usually reduces pain and helps your elbow work better. But it may not make the joint as good as it was before disease or injury hurt it.
You'll need to avoid activities that can cause further injury, such as hammering, playing contact sports, and lifting heavy weights. With good care, your new elbow should serve you well for many years.

Game Informer circulation up by 33 percent in 2010
Game Informer's monthly circulation was up by 33 percent with 5 million copies sold in 2010, figures from Audit Bureau of Circulations has said.
The figures now mean the magazine is the fifth most circulated magazine in the US to date. A large part of that is due to bundles with GameStop. The US retailer bundles subscriptions to the magazine in loyalty cards.
"2010 was a great year for video games and for Game Informer," said publisher, Cathy Preston.
"Our growth exceeds industry expectations for a print magazine – especially when you consider that 62 percent of our subscribers are from the hard-to-reach 18 to 34-year-old male demographic."
Congrats to the GI massive.
Thanks, Gama.

• We reviewed the records of 96 children hospitalized with varicella from July 1, 1975 to June 30, 1980. Eighty-one were immunologically normal and 15 were immunocompromised on the basis of neoplasia, immunosuppressive therapy, or genetic disease. These children experienced 106 complications including viral dissemination-encephalitis (44), bacterial infection (25), Reye's syndrome (17), unusual cutaneous lesions (eight), drug overdose (five), diabetic ketoacidosis (two), neonatal infection (two), dehydration (two), and exacerbation of preexisting nephrosis (one). The length of hospitalization varied from one to 38 days, with a median of five days. There were ten deaths: of Reye's syndrome (seven), of varicella pneumonia (one), of neonatal varicella (one), and of a ruptured mycotic aneurysm secondary to septicemia (one). This review demonstrates (1) a substantial occurrence of life-threatening complications of varicella in childhood, and (2) a need for. prospective epidemiologic data on the incidence of complications to determine the scope and extent of varicella vaccination.

The Columbus Blue Jackets are intent on not regressing from last season's first playoff berth, cobbling together their best start in franchise history through six games (5-1-0).
"We're finding ways to get some points," Blue Jackets coach Ken Hitchcock told ESPN.com from Calgary. "Different guys, different parts of the game, are stepping up."
And as you might suspect from a Ken Hitchcock-coached team, the Blue Jackets have done it with a stingy effort; they have the fourth-best defensive record and the top-ranked penalty-killing unit in the NHL.
Now comes a nice early-season test with a four-game road trip, which starts tonight in Calgary followed by games in Edmonton, Anaheim and Los Angeles.
"Calgary is a tough place to play in and a tough team to play against," said Hitchcock. "We played our best game of the year against the Flames [a 2-1 win in Columbus on Oct. 13]. So it'll be interesting to see how that goes."
The Jackets have put together a great start despite some injuries, including to a pair of top-four blueliners in Mike Commodore and Jan Hejda. Commodore has yet to play this season with a groin injury, but he's close to returning.
"We're thinking that he's going to play Thursday or Saturday. So that's good," said Hitchcock.
Hejda led the team with a plus-8 rating and was second in ice time at 21:45 minutes per game, but he injured his knee last week and Hitchcock expects him to be out another "2-3 weeks."
"Same goes for [winger] Freddie Modin, he'll be out another three weeks or so," Hitchcock said. "But we've had other people step up."
Hitchcock singled out defenseman Marc Methot, who played more than 21 minutes in Saturday's win over the Kings, as well as blueliner Anton Stralman, who has helped with his puck-moving skills.
Two or three seasons ago, having these key injuries early in the season would have likely been too much to overcome. But GM Scott Howson continues to improve the depth and skill level of this club, and the team learned a great deal last season after finally reaching the playoffs for the first time in franchise history.
"It's what we had to do to get into the playoffs last year that's created chemistry," said Hitchcock. "We went through a lot last year, a ton. Everybody talks about all the injuries to St. Louis, well our team went through a ton of things, too. We came out the better for it because we were able to survive it and our chemistry was created because we were able to survive a lot and still got into the playoffs.
"That has fed itself into this season. Not a lot bothers us, because we've been there before. We have learned to handle adversity and rally around tough times."
If there's been one fly in the ointment so far this season, it's been the struggles of rookie center Nikita Filatov, who has been a healthy scratch the past two games after seeing his ice time diminish in his four opening games.
Filatov was seen as a possible Calder Trophy candidate this season and the 19-year-old Russian center no doubt has oodles of talent. But the 2008 first-round pick clearly has to prove to Hitchcock he can play a 200-foot game in order to gain his trust.
"He's got tremendous skill," said Hitchcock. "But there's a certain level that you have to play at on a consistent basis. Our attitude is, when a player's level starts to drop, rather than having him hit rock bottom, let's get him out and work with him, and let's help him along so he can get some confidence back rather than going out there and going out of his way to get out of the way.
"So we pulled him out, we've worked really hard with him, his level is back up where he's going to get back in one of the next two games and let's see where it goes."
Hitchcock believes the Blue Jackets are a good enough team now that they don't have to keep players in the lineup when they struggle. "We can afford to work with people," he said.
