2012- An Election Odyssey
December 20, 2011 Leave a comment
Looking at the current situation running up to the GOP primaries, it's a safe bet to say this election year will be a roller-coaster ride to say the least. I myself have said alot on the show about this as well as articles here on the site that clearly show the differences between the candidates running for the GOP spot. It's a dirty mess and don't expect 2012 to be any different. Read more of this post

Competition in the global smartphone market has reached a fever pitch. With several former champions of the mobile-phone space vying for their piece of the pie, we're seeing companies pursue some bold tactics in hopes of differentiating themselves. One company attempting to regain a piece of its former glory, BlackBerry (NASDAQ: BBRY ) , appears that it might be about to borrow a page from one of the current top dogs, Samsung, by taking aim at multiple price points and form factors to potentially appeal to users in some of its most critical markets. In this video, Fool contributor Andrew Tonner discusses the dynamic and how it could help BlackBerry going forward.
It's incredible to think just how much of our digital and technological lives are almost entirely shaped and molded by just a handful of companies.

A team led by Kihei's Adam Tabura took first place in the Food Network's "The Great Food Truck Race."
The food reality TV show's final competition, which ended in Washington, D.C., was televised Sunday night.
Tabura, an executive chef and businessman from Kihei; his brother, Lanai Tabura, a radio personality and comedian from Oahu; and friend Shawn Felipe, a comedian and actor on Oahu and in Los Angeles, made up team Aloha Plate.

Team Aloha Plate
They took home $50,000 and a food truck.
The show, now in its fourth season, took teams across the Mainland to sell their grub out of their tricked-out food trucks. The team that made the least money was eliminated after each city visit.
The competition had already been completed with taped episodes being aired. In the final episode, Aloha Plate bested Tikka Tikka Taco.
"In front of the nation's Capitol, the guys from a little island in Hawaii were declared the winners," the Food Network website said.

Had an eagle bump my tail once and send the glider spiralling but generally they like to thermal alongside. I have had aggressive birds but a quick loop seems to confuse them.
We have a lot of turkey buzzards here. They are not aggressive, but sometimes quite curious. They tend to avoid my larger planes, 50 inch or more, but sometimes they get close to the small ones. Thing is, my little planes are all a LOT faster than any bird so it all works out.
cut across the flight path of a bird once (wasn't sure what species) in my t28. i had slowed down enough to let them pass (there were 2). 1st one passed but i was not slow enough for the 2nd one though and it went around my plane without a fuss. i'm sure it felt i was being an air hog (pardon the pun)
I'd say the first thing is if you have the speed and ability try not to dive but loop. In the wild all birds dive away from threats so if you dive and a bird of prey is chasing you and any other bird being aggressive for that matter. You will initiate the chase sequence that usually ends bad for our planes. Its like running from a dog just don't do it if you can help it. A loop, a climb those will usually achieve the goal of having it leave you alone because then it realizes that you aren't afraid of it and once you're above it they become vulnerable to your attack. Unless they are really pissed at you they will usually leave you be once you get above them and behind them.
We have a lot of birds of prey here so I asked the local rehab center and the above was their advice on how to handle this.
Back in 1983 I was teaching a student to fly with an Ace High glider. The Baby Bee .049 was singing along as he was climbing and when the plane was about 150 up and maybe 200 feet out from us, a wedge tailed eagle dove in and attacked the plane, hitting the wing and knocking it in a circle.
Unfortunately for the bird, when it hit the plane the .049 swung around and bit the bird right in the butt! There were feathers flying everywhere but the bird seemed uninjured and flew off in a chagrined fashion.
There are some very good story's in here and some good suggestions on avoidance tactics but I haven't seen the most important one. This doesn't apply to gliders for obvious reasons but I would say that if your avoidance tactics don't pay off and it looks like the bird is going to make contact you should shut power off immediately even if it means forfeiting your plane. Those props can do the bird some serious damage and even though it isn't likely to kill the bird outright an injury that leaves it unable to hunt is even worse. It is their sky and we should respect that.
We have many birds of prey in our area they have sometimes shown an interest and shared the same airspace, sometimes for quite lengthy periods, but have never seen one turn aggressive. We would never chase one of them or try and do anything that they could interpret as an attack either, both for the birds sake and for ours. Along with the birds come bird spotters, all it would take is one of them reporting models being used to chase or harm these birds and we'd be shut down before you know it.
I forgot to mention in my post above that my student successfully recovered the plane from the eagle attack and safely landed on the runway. Once on the ground, we could see deep talon marks in the starboard side foam wing! Pretty cool stuff.

Something to remember is that most birds of prey and vultures are protected critters. You might win a dogfight with one, but if you're observed by a birder, etc., you could wind up losing your flying site.
We had a guy in our club who thought it was fun to chase vultures with his glow plane. Fortunately, the cop who spotted it gave us another chance.
That flier no longer flies with our club.

Buzzards tend not to bother my planes. They think my glider is one of them and happily share the skies. I've had red-tails go after my planes on more than one occasion. Even my gliders. Looping always throws them off. Had one nearly take out my micro p-51 on it's maiden. Quick loop and he backed off.

When i was living in TN, some smaller blackbirds in northern Alabama, I found out at R/C sailplane contests, had developed the cute and endearing habit of hopping on and riding like surfers on the Monocoated horizontal stabilizers of floater sailplanes and busily pecking large holes in the covering, as their added tail weight was "de-thermalizing" the plane and bringing it slowly down.
Our feathered friends.
But I know one who is an R/C affectionado [he's done even better with it several times in a large gym and in a small nearby park]....
I've had a hawk check out my Mini Popwing at the park but not get very close, just seemed to be checking it out. At the same park, my HZ Champ almost got caught by maybe the same hawk. I was up about 75 feet and he came in from behind. I waited until he started to flare and dove straight down. It worked. The Champ has no power (not mine anyway) to do a loop from straight and level flight so that evasion seemed unavailable. . I am concerned about harming an attacking bird and agree that throttle "off" is a great reaction if evasion isn't working and your going to get hit. I wasn't too worried with the Champ's prop, not much potential for harm. Being a micro and not being as careful I have accidentally stuck my fingers in the running prop, does nothing really, stops the prop. Always more careful with my other planes and realize it wouldn't do a bird or my fingers any good to get them in the prop.
I did also one day have a swarm of small black birds fill the sky right after launching my Popwing, I cut the throttle back to near idle and they had no trouble avoiding my now slow flying wing. At high speed, it could very well have been a problem. They passed quickly as I went the other way from them.
Don't have much of a issue with the helicopters. They have circled, I think they realize when this bird stops in the air turns on a dime and starts coming to them they quickly do the same.
Now, before you all say, "don't fly after the birds" It's not done to hurt the birds, but to save it and my helicopter. Last thing I need is puree of bird and a crashed heli.

For 2013, YSL has released this limited collectors' edition of cult favourite, Touch Éclat. Available in shades 01 and 02, the packaging of the highlighter pen has been designed with the crystal bead-covered haute couture "Edition Soir" gown designed by Saint Laurent himself* in the 1960s.
Touche Éclat may be the king of highlighters, but there are several pretenders to the throne, and while none will usurp Touche Éclat in our lifetimes, there are several frontrunners: Benefit's High Beam, e.l.f's bargaintastic Studio Under Eye Concealer and Highlighter and the Multiple by Nars.
Have you got a favourite highlighter?
* Helpfully, there is no picture to be found anywhere of this dress.

text: Ever wonder what it's like to ride a speedboat with your favorite girl, cruising across a tropical ocean while drinking a beer, fast-approaching a glorious ending? Ever been woken from such a fantasy by an untimely deliveryman? If your answer to either of these questions has been 'yes,' then you might enjoy this slightly awkward, though relatable video from French outfit Is Tropical. The music video is set to the band's extremely groovy new single, "Dancing Anymore," and charts the thoughts of a pubescent teenager left alone in a large mansion. With special effects courtesy of MEGAFORCE, the next few minutes are about to get weird. When you finish, be sure to pre-order Is Tropical's new album, I'm Leaving, before its May 20 release by Kitsune.

World's first 2.5'' half-terabyte mobile hard drive and 22X DVD burner from Samsung
March 8, 2008 Samsung has announced that it is shipping the world's first half-terabyte (500GB) 2.5" mobile hard drive and the industry's fastest DVD burner.
The Spinpoint M6 is a 500GB mobile hard drive designed to fit the industry's standard 9.5mm height dimension and is targeted to meet the growing storage needs of today's laptop computers as well as slim form factor PCs and high-density mobile applications. Samsung claims the new Super-WriteMaster SH-S223 is the industry's fastest DVD burner that enables burning of data at high speeds - even on low-speed media.
The Spinpoint M6 drive consists of three 167GB platters in a 2.5" hard drive frame measuring just 9.5mm in height- allowing notebook PC manufacturers the option of easily integrating the Spinpoint M6 into the tens of millions of notebook PCs that ship every quarter. For premium notebook PCs, the Spinpoint M6 meets the Microsoft fast-boot design requirements and supports ramp load and unload of up to 600,000 times. The Spinpoint M6 500GB hard drive features a 5400rpm spindle speed, a 8MB cache, and 3.0Gbps SATA interface with a Free-Fall-Sensor available as an optional feature. Samsung were able to achieve the 500GB storage capacity of the drive by using Perpendicular Magnetic Recording technology instead of the traditional longitudinal recording technology. The drive also features Samsung's Flying-on-Demand head technology that improves recording stability over changing temperature ranges.
The SH-S223 DVD burner offers a powerful over-speed performance feature that enables burning of data at high speeds - even on low-speed media. With over-speed recording, users can write at 22X speeds on 16X media and 12X speeds on 8X media. The SH-S223 drive provides 22X DVD±R recording, 12X DVD-RAM recording, 16X DVD+R Dual Layer recording, 12X DVD-R Dual Layer recording, 8X DVD+RW recording and 6X DVD-RW recording. This means 4.7GB can be burnt to a DVD±R disc in approximately 4 minutes and 26 seconds while it takes less than 12 minutes to burn 4.7GB in DVD-RAM format. The SH-S223 drive supports the SATA interface and includes free software for creating music, video, photo and data discs. The drive also includes Samsung's live firmware update program that lets users download new firmware upgrades for free and keep their drives updated and, as with Samsung's complete WriteMaster optical disc drive lineup, the SH-S223 features Samsung's Speed Adjustment Technology, (SAT), Tilt Actuator Compensation, (TAC), and Double Optimum Power Control, (OPC). Buffer Under Run Free Technology supports stable writing under high speed while Magic Speed and Automatic Ball Balancing System, (ABS), technologies reduce vibration and noise. The SH-S223 also has an eco-friendly design and is RoHS compliant.
The Spinpoint M6 is currently shipping with an MSRP of USD$299 while no pricing info was available for the SH-S223 at the time of writing.

This is a story that's only really a "bookend" to the story of one spec project.
That would be 750 30th St. (5br/7ba, 5070 sqft.), a new "beach plantation" style home that has just closed for $4.500M.
The sale itself is notable, for sure.
It's only the fourth-ever sale to close in the Tree Section over $4M that wasn't near American Martyrs church. (Click for more on the Martyrs area and active listings there.)
One of those past $4M+ sales was of a double-lot "compound" (3305 Pine) that sold back in 2012.
The other two more "conventional" home sales over $4M came within just the last year:
- 769 33rd (6br/5ba, 4900 sqft., 7400 sqft. lot), a big, luxe custom Spanish on an oversized lot, sold for $4.100M off-market in July last year;

"The main idea behind the Traces series is to excavate short, forgotten or ignored pieces of music from the GRM Archives. This third volume, gathering pieces from before 1980, features the works of four composers from very different geographical and musical backgrounds. In addition to echoing the extraordinary vitality of musical experiments from a bygone era, Traces aims to give some audibility to music pieces which, in some instances, are being released for the very first time. Charles Clapaud "Ruptures" (1978), Janez Maticic "Hypnos (extrait de Trois Visions)" (1975), Servio Tulio Marin "Impresiones Fugitivas" (1976), Eugeniusz Rudnik "Moulin Diabolique" (1979)."

An Atlantic City man charged with the overdose death of a 26-year-old Ocean County man pleaded guilty to manslaughter and drug distribution.
Rasan S. McGee, 23, faces seven-years in prison for the manslaughter charge and a four-year concurrent sentence for the heroin distribution charge, Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato announced in a news release. He will be sentenced on July 15.
McGee was charged in connection with the death of Steven Janson of Barnegat, who was found unresponsive in his car on Starboard Avenue on April 19, 2013. Authorities discovered four bags of heroin after searching Jason's red Hyundai Genesis.
An investigation determined that Jason traveled to Atlantic City the day before his death to buy heroin, Coronato said. A separate sting operation turned up evidence connecting McGee to Janson's death, he said.
McGee was indicted in June 2013.
He is currently being held in the Ocean County Jail on $250,000 cash bail.

anybody else get the feeling from that last show that wombat and cheapyd were kinda jealous about all the freebies shipwreck is getting?
Maybe jealous that they're not getting as much attention of publishers and getting stuff early, but not the fact that Shipwreck is getting things for free. Cheapyd makes good enough money to afford business class plane tickets to the States. I hardly think he'd be jealous of not getting freebies. Maybe Wombat, but I doubt it.

Laura Kuipers led Grand Rapids South Christian with a 427 series (203-224), Shelby Holbrook rolled a 420 series (214-206) and Karie VanSledright shot 244 in Game 1.
"I've got six very good bowlers," South Christian coach Gordy Fransen said. "It seems like there's always two or three that get hot, and then we're really hard to beat."
Hudsonville Unity Christian's Ashley Rozema bowled a 308 series (159-149).
"South Christian is tough," Unity Christian coach Scott Roon said. "They're good, and they're a veteran team. Our girls are just young."
South Christian swept the baker games (224-100, 202-128) and the regular games (977-678, 962-685).
"They're just very talented bowlers," Fransen said. "They've all been bowling since they were freshmen, and they're all seniors now. They're good listeners, smart girls, and they enjoy that they're having fun, doing well and things are clicking.
"They're starting to get the momentum going, heading toward state finals. Very few teams have a better chance than my girls."
South Christian faces Grand Rapids Ottawa Hills on Thursday.

Poor medication labeling is cited as one potential cause of medication errors. Shrank et al evaluated labels from identically written prescriptions for 4 commonly used medications filled in various pharmacies in 4 cities. Characteristics of the format and content of both the main container label and auxiliary stickers were evaluated. The format of most container labels emphasized pharmacy characteristics and items frequently used by pharmacists rather than use instructions or medication warnings. The content of warning and instruction stickers was highly variable depending on the pharmacy. The authors discuss policy implications regarding the improvement of prescription drug labeling.

The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) duty-hour restrictions are aimed to improve sleep deprivation in medical trainees. However, the current ACGME duty-hour limits, particularly in the absence of effective interventions to improve the sleep hygiene of medical trainees, may be inadequate to achieve this goal. This study demonstrates that medical interns, in compliance with ACGME duty-hour restrictions, are still experiencing acute sleep deprivation and not obtaining adequate recovery sleep when off duty. Despite required educational programs for house staff, such as the SAFER (Sleep Alertness and Fatigue Education for Residents) program developed by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, education alone is ineffective in improving the sleep hygiene of medical trainees. To prevent the negative consequences of sleep deprivation in residents, the adoption of proven countermeasures to fatigue and the promotion of a culture that facilitates healthy sleep habits is warranted.
Moderate overweight (body mass index [BMI] [calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared], 25.0-29.9) and obesity (BMI ≥30.0) are risk factors for coronary heart disease independent of their effects via blood pressure and cholesterol levels. This meta-analysis of 21 prospective cohort studies of healthy, mainly white persons (N = 302 296) indicates that adverse effects of excess weight on blood pressure and cholesterol levels account for about 45% of the increased risk of coronary heart disease. The relative risks that remained statistically significant after adjustment for blood pressure and cholesterol levels were 1.17 (95% confidence interval, 1.11-1.23) for moderate overweight and 1.49 (95% confidence interval, 1.32-1.67) for obesity. Hence, overweight may deserve to be incorporated as a risk factor in risk classification schemes for coronary heart disease.
Using data from a large coronary disease registry of patients hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction, Goldberg et al observed steady increases in the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, β-blockers, and lipid-lowering therapy between 2000 and 2005, while the use of aspirin (approximately 95%) remained high during all periods examined. The proportion of hospital survivors treated with all 4 of these effective cardiac medications increased from 23% in 2000 to 58% during 2005. Older age, female sex, history of heart failure, and occurrence of atrial fibrillation during hospitalization were associated with the underuse of combination medical therapy.
Studies undertaken in academic and specialized settings have shown that bupropion hydrochloride, an antidepressant with dopaminergic and noradrenergic activity, can double the odds of stopping smoking compared with placebo. To assess whether these results apply in primary care, Fossati et al performed a randomized trial to be conducted by general practitioners. Seventy-one Italian general practitioners randomized 593 healthy smokers to receive 300 mg/d of sustained-release bupropion hydrochloride or placebo for 7 weeks. Of the bupropion group, 41% were continuously abstinent from weeks 4 to 7 compared with 22% of the placebo group (multivariate odds ratio, 2.37; 95% confidence interval, 1.60-3.53). The continuous abstinence rates from week 4 to 12 months were 25% in the bupropion group and 14% in the placebo group (odds ratio, 2.11; 95% confidence interval, 1.32-3.39).

Hiya, has anybody come up with a solution to the rubbish rudder? The amount of rudder which extends below the last hinge is unacceptable imho and in effect causes almost all rudder movement to have null effect. I can barely see the tail wag with full rudder deflection on my model.
I was thinking of putty a lump of spruce or maybe balsa in the end of the fuselage and then adding a normal hinge into that.
OH BABY!!!!! Everyone do yourselves a favor and get the new 808 #16 with the fish eye wide angle lens! I've had it for about a month now and tried it for the first time on one of my planes - my Phoenix Evolution. Wow!
It was a great evening to fly! The video from my 808 #16 (fish eye lens) is amazing! This is no doubt the best little cheap camera to record flights. Freaking awesome!!!!
And that new motor and prop I put in my glider keeps on going with no problems at all.
One thing though - when I give my glider lots of throttle, it wants to point up quickly and I have to add down elevator. How can I fix this? More weight in the nose? Change the angle of the motor? Add a mix to add down elevator when I give it more throttle? I really don't want to take the motor out and try to change the angle. It's in there good and tight I really don't want to mess with that part. Would adding a mix of down elevator when I give it throttle help?
Hobbypartz sent my LED lights a few days ago. I can't wait to get this glider up at night with those lights!
Also flew my new pop wing for the first time. That's going to be fun to fly too this fall! But I crashed my little Zero and the fuselage snapped in two.
I swear, that Phoenix glider is one sweet glider. Who wants a $200 Radian when you can get an awesome glider for $80.00 or so?
I put my glider over a road and cut the throttle and that thing booked right along. It looked like it could keep up with the pick up trucks going down the road. Freaking amazing tonight!
Rudder Hinge Mods
Rudder Hinge Mods for my P2K
Photo 1 - 12mm (1/2") slot for rudder post cut in rear of tailplane platform.
Photo 2 - Balsa Hinge Post 2plys of 6mm (1/4") hard balsa glued together (didn't have a scrap piece of 1/2" )
Photo 3 - Hinge post sanded to shape to be a neat push fit right down to the bottom of the fuselage to make contact to both sides and the bottom.
When satisfied with the fit, this is glued in place with Contact Cement, which works very well if not allowed to dry out completely, but left to cure for several hours - I left mine overnight.
It is one, possibly the only, type of glue that does work reasonably well with this plastic fuselage, although I would not use it in a high stress area.
Photo 4 - Shows my original and later corrected ... more on this later ... rudder post in place, with the hole for the pivot hinge - (Great Planes have them, or your LHS may) The original rear cooling hole is shown covered over here, but will need to be drilled out for a cooling air exit.
I made an initial error, by cutting away the rear of the fuselage as well. Cutting away the rear of the fuselage is unnecessary.
My error was corrected by adding a piece of 1.5mm(1/16") ply to the now fitted balsa rudder post bonded in place with Cyano. You can see the glue line around this added piece.
Photo 5 - Shows the type of hinge used, under the modified version already fitted into the rudder.
It shows one shortened arm for insertion in the rudder post, but with the other full length arm already push fitted into the rudder - no predrilling is required to do this in the ultra soft rudder foam material used ... it's no wonder it flexes before a hinge is retro-fitted, the rudder having no structural integrity until well above the tailplane.
Photo 6 - The whole tail assembly fitted, as designed as a unit, with the shortened,stub arm of the pivot hinge inserted in the hole in the rear of the fuselage and into the new rudder post.
The pivot hinge arm that is inserted into the fuselage has to be shortened just to make assembly of the tailplane and fin/rudder possible, because the tailplane's cross fuselage joining rod, makes assembly difficult at the best of times. It may be a good idea to vertically elongate the hole in the rudder post a little to make insertion of the hinge pin a litlle easier.
Have to thank Jeebs77 here, who got my little grey cells working on this mod.
Also to do some changes to the under-wing servo tray too ... keep you posted on that one
Bu**ger ... lost the photos ... again. Will try again in a new post.
OK ... now we have photos to cross refer to my earlier post + the cuss one ...
Sorry for the mess up ... Dunno what happened, but the phots didn't attach!
Daffy ...
It doesn't look sharp on youtube because I rendered it in low quality so I could upload it fast. But at full quality/resolution it offers a great view.
My first LEDs came today. I connected them to a 2 cell and it was OK. Then I tried a 3 cell and wow, they really pop! I received green, purple, and red. I didn't think the weight would be so light but they are light. It's going to be fun putting them on my glider. Can't get to it till Monday or so though.
I hinged my rudder too and added a third hinge down there:
You are quite right JLT, but if you read the Photo 4 description, you will see that I did advise that the cooling hole should be drilled out in TE stern post.
Actually any exit hole for cooling air should really be twice the size of the inlet vents, but any outlet is better than none.
I intend cutting another elongated hole in the belly under the wing to increase the exit vent area.
Your bottom hinge rudder mod. is a good one though, especially highlighting the need for an exit vent for cooling air.
maybe doing couple of holes in the bottom of the tail?
I reckon you're right mate. The underside of the fuselage at the back end has a slot in the underside mounting bracket for the tail-assembly which could be opened up through to the inside of the fuselage to give an additional exit for cooling air.
I also think that you'd be able to get away with another exit hole,or twocut in the underside of the fuselage under the wing, without compromising fuselage strength.
Just my thoughts.

Sunday 5 August 2012
Due to the nice weather, even though it rains sometimes, people of Taif and nearby cities are flocking to open areas to eat their iftar (breaking of the fast) meals in Ramadan.
You can see cars from GCC countries in the streets of the governorate, especially Kuwaitis and Qataris.
All of them are enjoying the marvelous weather of Taif, especially at evening times.
Rainfall is usually moderate to heavy and most of the time they are showers only. Rain is usually accompanied by hailstones.
According to a report from the Presidency of Meteorology and Environment issued yesterday, temperatures are expected to be moderate in Taif while the chance of rain is high.
Nowadays the weather is hottest in other cities like Makkah and Jeddah so people of these cities come to Taif to enjoy the weather.
It is a one-hour drive from Makkah to Taif and two hours from Jeddah.
It is an old tradition of Makkah and Jeddah residents to come to Taif, especially the Al-Hada area.
They stay from noon until Fajr prayer before going back home.
Food can be cooked at home or bought from the restaurants.
Popular Saudi food in Ramadan usually includes dates, juices, soups, foul, and desserts like Kunafa and Trumba.
Some families invite their relatives to eat their iftar outside and enjoy the weather while kids play at the parks.
Young people of Taif gather at the local areas of Al-Shafa and Al-Hada and everybody brings a dish.
They enjoy eating food and at Isha time they go to the mosques for prayers.
People gather as a means to socialize rather than just eat.
Popular places include Al-Hada, Al-Shafa, King Fahd Park in Al-Khalidiah, King Faisal Park in Al-Ail road, Al-Sidad Park and others along the roads to Al-Hada and Al-Shafa.
The Taif municipality has created many green areas popular with locals and tourists.
These areas are supplied with facilities like swings, slides and other playground equipment that children can enjoy for free.
Local resident Khaled Al-Sharif said: "I enjoy eating iftar outside my home and it is nicer than staying at home.
"I prefer to go to parks far away from the general roads or the highways, because I had a bad experience with my cousin when we had our iftar in the Al-Khalidiah area near the highway and he almost had an accident.
"So I decided that every time we go for iftar outside we go to areas far away from the highways."
Some picnic areas along the roads to Al-Hada are well equipped and people gather there early to find a nice place near the children's playgrounds, but there are safety fears because they are near the Taif-Makkah highways.
Taif resident Mohammad Ahmed, who is also a teacher, said: "I took the whole family out once but because of the rainy weather we went for a drive around Taif and we got our food.
"We initially went to Al-Shafa mountain, where it was raining and the weather was 18 degrees Celsius.
"So then we went down to the Al-Rudaf area and others.
"When iftar came we went to a park and we had our meal while the adhan (call for prayer) sounded.
"I enjoyed this trip with the family and would want to repeat it again."

Next week a committee in the U.S. House of Representatives will decide whether to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt for refusing to turn over records related to Department of Justice's "Fast and Furious" gun-selling scandal.
Mr. Holder has testified before Congress several times about the controversial program, which involved agents from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives selling firearms to Mexican drug cartels in the hopes of investing cartel gun trafficking, but then losing track of most of the guns.
But he has refused to turn over documents that members of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee subpoenaed and say are essential to their investigation of the scandal.
The documents are being withheld because they reveal internal Justice Department discussions, Congressional officials say.
Should Congress hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt for not turning over the documents? What do you think? Leave a comment or click on the link below to take our poll.
Should Congress hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt?

Logan back on '60 Minutes'
CBS News' Lara Logan has returned to work at "60 Minutes" more than six months after being ordered to take a leave of absence for her role in a story on the Benghazi raid.
CBS News spokeswoman Sonya McNair confirmed that Logan is back, but she offered no details on when the correspondent resumed work and what stories she is working on.
Logan was criticized for basing an October report on the Benghazi raid on the testimony of a security contractor and supposed eyewitness to the 2012 raid at the U.S. mission in Libya. That contractor's story could not be verified.
An internal CBS report also said that Logan should not have done the story in the first place after making public comments about the American effort against al-Qaida.
CMT award surprises
Carrie Underwood
Carrie Underwood's special connection with CMT viewers helped her continue her run at the CMT Awards -- and crash Luke Bryan's party.
Underwood won her third straight video of the year Wednesday night, taking the top honor for the fifth time with "See You Again." The "American Idol" champion is CMT's top overall winner with 11 belt buckles in her career.
Underwood managed to horn in on all the fun top winners Bryan and Florida Georgia Line were having. The two acts teamed up to win collaboration of the year for "This Is How We Roll" -- a song they performed at the top of the show with Jason Derulo and ZZ Top and released as a remix with Derulo.
Underwood teamed with Miranda Lambert to shut down the show with their song "Somethin' Bad" and was clearly surprised when she took fan-voted video of the year.
Roberts to receive
Cronkite award
"Good Morning America" co-host Robin Roberts will receive the 2014 Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism from Arizona State University's Cronkite School.
The university announced that Roberts will receive the award during an Oct. 6 luncheon in Phoenix.
Cronkite School Dean Christopher Callahan said Roberts has made outstanding contributions to journalism and demonstrated great personal courage.
Roberts faced public battles with breast cancer in 2007 and a bone marrow disorder in 2012.
Roberts, a former basketball star at Southeastern Louisiana University, worked for several radio and television stations and ESPN before being named co-anchor of ABC's "Good Morning America" in 2005.
Humperdinck sued
for 2011 cancellation
An upstate New York theater is suing singer Engelbert Humperdinck for more than $70,000 for his last-minute cancellation of a performance three years ago.
The Palace Performing Arts Center in Albany filed the lawsuit against Arnold George Dorsey, Humperdinck's legal name.
The venue is suing the British pop singer for funds he never returned after he canceled a show scheduled for June 29, 2011. The lawsuit said his band was already at the theater when Humperdinck canceled the concert.
The lawsuit seeks reimbursement for a $20,000 deposit it provided the 78-year-old performer, plus about $10,000 in advertising, more than $31,000 in sold tickets and attorney fees.
Humperdinck's agents wanted to reschedule the show, but the theater refused.
Marvin Gaye's son
gets kidney transplant
The son of singer Marvin Gaye is recovering at home after a successful kidney transplant.
Marvin Gaye III underwent surgery at UCLA Medical Center last week. Donor Rick Greene of Cincinnati was moved to offer his kidney after seeing Gaye's plea for help on "Entertainment Tonight."
The TV show is preparing a follow-up segment to air in the coming weeks, she said.
Brown's prison
sentence cut short
Singer Chris Brown said he plans to keep a low profile after being released Monday from a Los Angeles County jail, authorities.
Brown had been in custody since mid-March, when he was arrested after being expelled from a court-ordered rehab sentence for violating its rules.
In May, a judge ordered the R&B singer to remain in jail after he admitted he violated his probation by getting into an altercation outside a hotel in Washington, D.C., in 2013.
Superior Court Judge James R. Brandlin sentenced the singer to serve an additional 131 days in jail, but Brown had been expected to get out much sooner.
Brown received credit for serving nearly eight months in jail. The credits include time that the singer has spent in rehab and jail, as well as credits for good behavior while behind bars.
Etheridge marries
TV executive
Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter and gay rights activist Melissa Etheridge married her partner Linda Wallem at the San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, Calif., on Saturday.
Etheridge, 53, and the 53-year-old Wallem, creator of the television series "Nurse Jackie," began dating in 2010. They announced their engagement following the Supreme Court's decision on gay rights.
In addition to the singer's four children, several celebrities attended the ceremony, including Chelsea Handler, Rosie O'Donnell, Whitney Cummings, Peter Facinelli and recording artist Sia.
Etheridge has a new solo album scheduled for release in September.

CBNNews.com - CBN News has learned that President Barack Obama will not overturn the Mexico City Policy, which would enable taxpayer dollars to be used for federally funded abortions.
Under the policy, federally funded NGOs must pledge that they will "neither perform nor actively promote abortion as a method of family planning in other nations," except in the case of rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother.
A new study shows most Americians are against abortion. Click play for more with Peggy Hartshorn of Heartbeat International.
The Mexico City Policy, known by critics as "The Global Gag Rule," was instituted under President Reagan in 1984, but revoked under President Clinton in January 1993. Clinton said it was "excessively broad" and "undermined efforts to promote safe and efficacious family planning programs in foreign nations."
In 2001, President Bush reinstated the policy as his first executive order, on the grounds that it "should not be used to pay for abortions or advocate or actively promote abortion, either here or abroad."
Pro-life activists may find encouragement in the President's decision not to revoke this policy today, the day that marks the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade.
However, Obama is still expected to overturn the Mexico City Policy early in his administration.

On October 19, 2011, Public Health—Seattle & King County was contacted regarding a woman who had experienced acute gastroenteritis after dining at a local restaurant with friends. Staff members interviewed the diners and confirmed that three of the seven in the party had consumed a raw oyster dish. Within 18-36 hours after consumption, the three had onsets of aches, nausea, and nonbloody diarrhea lasting 24-48 hours. One ill diner also reported vomiting. The four diners who had not eaten the raw oysters did not become ill.
An inspection of a walk-in freezer at the restaurant revealed eight 3-pound bags of frozen raw oysters, which the restaurant indicated had been an ingredient of the dish consumed by the ill diners. The oysters had been imported from South Korea by company A and shipped to a local vendor, which sold them to the restaurant. All eight bags were sent to the Food and Drug Administration's Gulf Coast Seafood Laboratory for norovirus testing and characterization by real-time reverse transcription—polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR).
A stool specimen from one of two ill diners collected 17 days after symptom onset tested positive for norovirus; sequence analysis identified GI.1 and GII.17 strains. Sequence analysis of the oysters identified a GII.3 strain. Because oysters can harbor multiple norovirus strains that are unequally amplified by rRT-PCR, discordance between stool specimens and food samples in shellfish-associated norovirus outbreaks is common and does not rule out an association. On November 4, 2011, company A recalled its frozen raw oysters.*
The frozen oysters implicated in this outbreak were distributed internationally and had a 2-year shelf-life. Contamination of similar products has been implicated previously in international norovirus transmissions.1 Such contamination has potential for exposing persons widely dispersed in space and time, making cases difficult to identify or link through traditional complaint-based surveillance. To facilitate investigation of foodborne norovirus outbreaks, CDC recently implemented CaliciNet, the national electronic norovirus outbreak surveillance network.2 During suspected norovirus outbreaks, CDC recommends collection of stool specimens to confirm the diagnosis, characterize norovirus strains, and upload sequence results into CaliciNet. Additionally, all suspected and confirmed norovirus outbreaks should be reported to CDC by state and local health departments through the National Outbreak Reporting System.3

Northside Christian cruises past LCA; Gents fall short
YOUNGSVILLE – The Northside Christian Warriors exploded for 10 runs in the fifth inning and made short work of Lafayette Christian Academy with a 14-0 run rule victory Tuesday evening at Fabacher Field.
The game was halted after the fifth inning due to the mercy rule.
Northside (2-1) sent 15 batters to the plate in the fifth inning and collected seven hits off LCA relievers Hez Charles and Brandon Buchta.
Charles took over for starting pitcher Tristan Wescott in the fifth inning with his team trailing 4-0. The Warriors greeted the reliever with four straight hits following a leadoff walk, including an RBI single from Nick Zaunbrecher and a run-scoring double from Trace Lemaire. A pair of walks and an error led to Charles' departure.
Buchta took mound with one out and promptly gave up a two-run double to Jordan Monte. Zaunbrecher added a two-run double later in the frame and Christian Morgan singled in a run before Buchta finally got out of the inning with a strikeout.
Northside's Nick Martin took over for starting pitcher Jordan Monte in the bottom of the fifth and set the Knights down in order thanks to a heads up play by right fielder Dillon Hayes.
Marin hit Brent Jackson to start the bottom of the fifth inning but Hayes, an eighth grader, made a running catch on a shallow fly ball off the bat of Aiden Rivette and fired the ball to first base to complete an unconventional double play. Buchta then grounded out to first base to end the game.
Morgan led the Warriors' 11-hit attack with a 3-for-4 performance that included two RBI. Zaunbrecher followed with two hits and four RBI and Lemaire had two hits and two RBI. Joseph Trahan also had two hits and he drove in one run with a towering home run over the left field wall in the third inning. Monte added a double and two RBI and Martin finished with a double.
Monte also picked up the victory on the mound after giving up just two hits and two walks in four innings. He stuck out four.
Northside will return to action on Friday when they travel to Reeves for a 5:30 p.m. contest.
IOTA – The Iota Bulldogs rallied for six runs in the bottom of the seventh Tuesday to pull out a 10-9 victory over the visiting Rayne Wolves.
The Dogs (2-5) sent 10 batters to the plate in the final frame and collected six hits to earn the victory. They also took advantage of two Rayne errors and one walk.
Kyle Smith led off the frame with a walk and scored the first run on a Jon Michael Trahan fielder's choice. Smith then closed out the game nine batters later when singled down the left field line to score courtesy runner Kevin Pousson for the game-winning run.
Smith paced the Bulldogs with a 4-for-4 performance that included a double and two RBI. Michael Reed followed with three hits and two RBI and Thevis had two hits. Trahan, Jon LeJeune, Tim Lunson and Garrett Reppond each had one hit and one RBI and Austen Montgomery rounded out the Dogs' offense with a single.
Reppond was also credited with the victory on mound after giving up one run on one hit in one inning of relief work.
CROWLEY – The timely hits eluded the Crowley Gents Tuesday evening at Miller Stadium in their non-district contest against Mamou.
The Gents (3-4) had runners at first and second base twice with no outs but failed to get the big hit in a 4-1 loss to the Green Demons.
The Gents stranded eight runners on the night, four in scoring position, and had one runner thrown out at the plate.
Crowley's lone run scored in the third inning when Alex LeBouef reached base on a fielder's choice and eventually scored on a single by Alex Ashby.
The Gents threatened in the sixth inning when Mackay Mouton doubled and Mickey Morgan drew a walk to start the frame. But back-to-back strikeouts and a flyout to second base ended the inning.
Then, in the seventh, Kaleb Istre was issued a walk to start the inning and LeBouef singled to start a potential rally. However, Istre was thrown out at the plate when he attempted to score on the play. Jon Riley Mouton kept the inning alive with a two-out single but a flyout to left field one batter later ended the contest.
Pate Broussard suffered the loss. He gave up five runs (three earned) on five hits and one walk while striking out five in six innings of work.
Offensively, Ashby and LeBouef each had two hits while Jon Riley Mouton and Mackay Mouton each had one.

NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
GNS Healthcare inked a deal with Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) to research disease biology and find biomarkers in the area of immuno-inflammation. GNS will use clinical and molecular information from a BMS clinical trial and its supercomputer-driven REFS™ (reverse-engineering and forward-simulation) platform to identify biomarkers.
Trial data will consist of genetic information, gene-expression levels, specific blood markers, and clinical outcomes. An inflammation disease model will be developed to support virtual clinical trials designed to simulate the clinical effect of inhibiting various drug targets as well as to help predict novel molecular targets for specific types of patients. REFS is licensed to GNS Healthcare (formerly Gene Network Sciences) from its parent company, Via Science.
The BMS collaboration comes about a month after a deal with NCI on a similar project was signed. GNS said last month that it would build computer models of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) using REFS and data from genetically modified mouse models of NSCLC from the laboratory of Terry van Dyke, Ph.D., director of NCI's Center for Advanced Preclinical Research (CAPR). The GNS-NCI collaboration is intended to identify biomarkers and biological mechanisms to develop new drugs and better match those drugs to patients.

Sheriff's Deputy Randy Wood works traffic duty day and night—never takes a break, never even blinks. Sure, some dismiss him as one-dimensional, but there's no denying he's cut out for his job. "Yeah, it's pretty weird," admits the real Deputy Wood, 31, of the life-size, startlingly realistic plastic cutout of him that stands sentry along the two-lane State Rt. 301 in West Salem, Ohio. "But my picture out there in a bunch of different places is going to do more good than I ever could in person."
Randy can thank his dad, Mike Wood, for cutting him down to size. Last summer Wood, 54, the owner of Mike's Sign Factory in West Salem, came up with an idea to drum up business—he enlarged photos of his three stepchildren and attached them to durable, waterproof plastic sheets. Then he propped the color cutouts on his front lawn. Soon, Wood and his wife, Kathy, a part-time emergency-room nurse, noticed that drivers on State Rt. 301 were slowing down as they passed their house, thinking there were real children at play.
After CNN did a short piece on the cutouts and their impact on traffic, Wood received nearly 200 orders—from both regular folks and law enforcement agencies—for cutouts of his kids (by then he had added one of oldest son Randy, depicted pointing a radar gun) and others. "People have not only slowed down a lot but many have literally stopped," says Tamra Turner of the hundreds of drivers a day who are discouraged from speeding by the cutout in front of the destination-wedding business she runs from her home in Navarre, Fla. "It's pretty funny and satisfying."
Wood is also tickled by his big brake. "I couldn't be more thrilled that it's turned into a way to make things safer for children," he says. And how do his own kids feel about being decoys? "For now, it hasn't affected them," says Wood, whose cutouts range from $39 to $109 and are so realistic they've even fooled friends. "A neighbor called and said, 'You might want to check on Katie,'" he says. "'We've been watching her, and we think she's fallen asleep standing up.'"

COOPERSVILLE - The makers of Core Power and fairlife milk nutrition drinks in Coopersville are expanding again.
The Chicago-based fairlife LLC is embarking on a $96.3 million expansion of its plant in Coopersville.
The project will add manufacturing space and new equipment to the bottling operations. "This is a good thing, not just for the company but for all of the city of Coopersville," said City Manager Steve Patrick.
The expansion will add up to 100 jobs at the facility over the next two years. The plant currently employs an estimated 130. Company officials told the city the expansion will allow for additional milk-based products to be developed, produced, and bottled in Coopersville. The company distributes its products through Coca-Cola's Venturing & Emerging Brands distribution system.
Earlier this week, the Michigan Strategic Fund approved a performance-based incentive package totaling $9.34 million for the project which will be realized over 12 years.
The incentive enables the company to help purchase new equipment, and enhance public infrastructure needed for increasing operations.
As part of the total incentive package, the City of Coopersville was awarded $2.4 million in federal Community Development Block Grant funds for needed infrastructure improvements. The $2.4 million grant was the second $2.4 million grant the city has received from the state in the last few years to expand its waste water treatment plant.
Bill Kratz, with the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, said Coopersville received the grant from the MEDC because of the large investment occurring in the city and because of the number of jobs the expansion is expected to create. The city will contribute $384,000 toward the improvement of wastewater collection and transmission at the fairlife site, which is co-located on the Continental Dairy Facilities campus on West Randall Street.
The infrastructure improvements will include adding a dedicated sewer transmission line from the Continental Dairy Facility-fairlife campus to the waste water treatment plant. That will free up sewer capacity in the western part the city, Patrick said.
Lakeshore Advantage helped to facilitate the grants and incentives from the state to make the project possible. Ken Rizzio, director of business services for Lakeshore Advantage, said fairlife's expansion underscores the positive business opportunities in Coopersville and the rest of the region. "Their decision to expand in Coopersville reinforces the positive business environment and strong food processing system in West Michigan," he said.
Food processing is quickly becoming one the region's fastest growing industries, Rizzio added. "Three of the top 10 companies for job creation in the region in 2013 were food processors and that doesn't include what is being done in Coopersville."
Work on the project started immediately after the incentives were announced on Tuesday and is expected to be completed by the end of the year. Much of the equipment being added to the plant is already on site, Rizzio said.
Fairlife officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the expansion.
Fairlife opened its Coopersville plant in 2013 after an initial investment of $127 million. The company leases space from Continental Dairy Facilities.
With Continental's investment of an estimated $110 million in 2010 to purchase and redevelop the former Delphi Automotive site, the two companies will have invested more than $337 million in facilities in the last four years on the 120-acre site. When the current expansion project is completed, the new hires at fairlife will bring the total number of those employed at the site between the two companies to roughly 310.

Egeria densa is one of the fastest growing, and most commonly available plants in the aquarium hobby. Unfortunately, it is also one of the most frequently released, and has become established, along with Hydrilla, as one of the most invasive nuisance plants all over the world. It masquerades as all three common names, and before keeping it in your tanks you should make sure that it is not illegal in your state. The main reason the egeria/elodea/anachris is such a problem in lakes and streams is that it is an extremely adaptable plant that will grow in almost any conditions of light, nutrients, pH and hardness. This plant will keep growing and swirling on the water surface if left uncut. It does make an excellent aquarium plant as it is easy to keep and easy to propagate. There are what appear to be a few different varieties, but they are really only different forms of the same plant, depending on the light and nutrients available.

Values and beliefs in businesses are hard to grasp. Nevertheless, they play an important role in managing any organisation. This book introduces the concept of an ethics audit as one approach to make people aware of the existence of ethics issues in business and as an attempt make ethics rateable and comparable. The ethics audit is a powerful tool to determine to what extent the formal ethics rules of a company are put into practice in the daily work routine. It helps to bring the organisational values into focus and to create appropriate value statements, and it can even contribute to enhanced employee motivation.
A theoretical discussion of the concept of an ethics audit is followed by a case in which a specific ethics audit is developed for the medium-sized German pharmaceutical company betapharm Arzneimittel GmbH.
The book addresses both students and academics in the field of management or business ethics, as well as practitioners in businesses and organisations.

It's raked-in eight Oscar nods and $100 million at the box office, but locally-filmed "Silver Linings Playbook" is also getting praise from psychologists for its compassionate portrayal of mental illness.
The story is a homecoming of sorts. Pat Solitano, played by Jenkintown, Montgomery Co., native Bradley Cooper, has just come home -- from a mental institution.
"His mother takes him out of the institution where he's receiving care, even though they're not ready to discharge him yet," said Bethlehem psychologist Linda Palmo.
According to Palmo, the movie is surprisingly true to life.
"I thought that they really captured the essence of what being bi-polar can be like," she said. "He refuses to take medication."
In one scene, Solitano wakes his parents up at four in the morning to complain about an Ernest Hemingway novel he's reading.
"It does a great job of portraying how talkative he is," said Palmo. "How little sleep he needs."
It's also a love story.
"He meets a girl who has been widowed, and has a complicated grief reaction," said Palmo.
That character is played by Jennifer Lawrence, just off a hit performance in "The Hunger Games." In one diner scene, shot in Upper Darby, Delaware Co., Lawrence's character admits to sleeping with 11 of her co-workers after her husband died.
"I'm just a crazy slut with a dead husband!"" she yells at Solitano, before smashing two platefuls of food.
Often criticized for simplistic stereotypes, Palmo said mental illness is one are where Hollywood is getting better.
"The portrayals are much more accurate now," she said.
She credited 1988's "Rain Main" with turning the tide. Another current hit also touches on mental issues -- Denzel Washington's complex portrayal of an alcoholic in "Flight."
"Part of the stereotype is that people who have mental health issues are just not trying hard enough," she said.
If the locations in "Silver Linings Playbook" look familiar, that's because it was filmed around Philadelphia. It's up for the best picture Oscar on Sunday night.

The Jakarta Post
National flag carrier Garuda Indonesia said that it would use its first Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, which also provides 'First Class' service, to serve the Jakarta-Jeddah route.
'Garuda welcomes the new member of its fleet, the state-of-the-art Boeing 777-300ER, while immediately launching our 'First Class' service ,' said Garuda Indonesia president director, Emirsyah Satar, when welcoming the Boeing 777-300ER aircraft at Hangar GMF in Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, in Jakarta on Tuesday evening, as quoted by Antara news agency.
Garuda Indonesia's first Boeing 777-300ER will operate on July 9, serving the Jakarta-Jeddah route.
In 2013, Garuda is scheduled to receive four out of the ten Boeing 777-300ER aircraft it has ordered. The second aircraft will also arrive in July and will be prepared to serve the Jakarta-Jeddah route in August.
Two more Boeing 777-300ER will be brought in to start serving the new Sydney-Jakarta-London route in November. Three aircrafts are scheduled to arrive in 2014 while the remaining three will come in 2015.
'The Boeing 777-300ER will produce a new standard of quality of flight services, particularly for direct flights on long-distance routes,' said Emirsyah.
The airline president director added that the First Class service it offered would give an added value on the flight experiences of the customers.
Emirsyah said operating the Boeing 777-300ER was also part of the airline's great expansion and transformation, 'Quantum Leap 2011-2015'. (ebf)

justin & meghans wedding took place at justin's grandparents home & property in pine flat california, it was not only so different & special, but it was so unbelievably refreshing, serious & calm all at once. these two are some of the most amazing & raddest people we have ever met! they gave us the freedom to shoot all film & we were so inspired & had so much fun getting creative!! i can't say enough about these two, they are just so smart, sweet, kindhearted & talented. & not to mention understanding & super patient, so it started to rain right after their ceremony so we just went inside to grab those shots of them together, which went so well with their personalities & we are so happy with how they turned out! oh my gosh we loved how they included their dog dexter in wedding! they were so easy going the whole time, & it couldn't have been a more perfect & wonderful day!
