E YANDELL DK 1 r-'Tf ■■■ i,,rr - . y 7 q q o 3 -I IeR ALD -/ EITUNG J Vol. 149, Nov. 23 16 pages in 2 sections December 21, 1999 Tuesday Serving Comal County since 1852 50 centsNeighbors, co-workers reel from Seguin woman's slayingPolice have suspect but still no motive By Heather Todd Staff Writer Friends and family still are trying to make sense of the murder of Seguin resi dent Diana Aguilar on Friday, and Seguin police continue to search for a motive in the killing. On Saturday morning, Seguin police arrested Aguilar's neighbor, 23-year old Patrick James Holzer, Jr., on charges of murder and attempted murder for the violent attack against Aguilar and her 4-year old daughter. Seguin police found the body of 32-year old Aguilar in her apartment at the 900 block of East Cedar Street Friday night. Aguilar's daughter, Haley Bueno, also was found injured inside the apartment. The girl was airlifted to University Hospital in San Antonio Friday night with severe head trauma. Police officials said Monday the girl's condition had been improved and the hospital had changed her status from critical to serious. Seguin police were dispatched at 5:45 p.m. Friday to Apartment 202 at 968 E. Cedar St.. Police officials found the victim lying on the Boor in the kitchen of the apartment. Police off icials said Holzer resided at a rental house at 698 E. Cedar St. Aguilar and her daughter lived in a duplex apartment behind the house. Lt. Mike Rosas with the Seguin PoliceSee SEGUIN/5A City has until February to trim bond issue list By Peri Stone-Palmquist Staff Writer New Braunfels City Council still has time to trim a $38.6 million bond package, scheduled to go before voters in May. If all six propositions now included on the bond package passed, the city's tax rate would more than double in the next four years. But council still has until mid-February to finalize that list and get it before voters in May, city manager Mike Shands said. "They probably want WILLIAMS to approve it no later than Feb. 14," he said. Mayor Stoney Williams said he'd like council to consider paring down the list in the coming weeks. "I'm going to maybe recommend that we need to drop something," he said. The Herald-Zeitung will take a look at each proposition now included in the bond package in the next few weeks and analyze the tax impact of each one. The package, approved tentatively by council on Dec. 13, includes six propositions: • about $5 million to expand Walnut Avenue; • about $17 million for street and drainage projects; • $2.8 million in public safety projects for the fire department and airport; • $700,000 for a new police and fire department communication system; • $12 million for a new sports complex; and • about $1 million for park improvements. "In my opinion, we need to concentrate on public safety and Walnut Avenue, Lamia Street and Churchill Drive," Williams said. He said he'd like to see some of the street projects dropped but had not made up his mind on the Bond Series Wednesday Walnut expansion Sunday Street and drainage bond projects and staff requests Tuesday, Dec. 28 Public safety bond projects and staff requests Wednesday, Dec. 29 Communication system Thursday, Dec. 30 Sports complex Friday, Dec. 31 Park improvement bond projects and staff requests $12 million sports complex, which includes an indoor pool, gymnasium and several fields. The total projected property tax rate could increase from 31 cents to 72 cents in 2002. Of that, 17.4 cents would repay the debt and 23.7 cents would cover any cost of maintenance and operation associated with bond projects. A bond would not fund staffing and maintenance needs; instead, the general fund would need a boost. Council would decide how to fund that boost, but one option would be a tax rate increase. lf all the projects were approved, a resident owning a home with a taxable value of $ 100,000 could pay $720 a year in city taxes by 2004, according to preliminary city projections. 1'hat same resident currently pays $313 (plus $324 in county taxes and more than $ 1,640 in school taxes). But those numbers could be even higher. The tax rate could triple in the next four years if the bond is approved and council also approves an additional list of requests that city staff says they need (see related story page 5A). Bulverde NW, Ingram reach agreement By Erin MAGRUDER Staff Writer The City of Bulverde Northwest no longer exists. After months of negotiations, a settlement was reached Friday in the long-standing dispute between local cement manufacturer Ingram Readymix, Inc. and the former town of Bulverde Northwest. The agreement was the result of an Oct. 6 lawsuit filed by the State of Texas on behalf of the concrete manufacturer that challenged the May I incorporation of the city. The judgement dissolved tile incorporation of Bulverde Northwest, without prejudice as to a future incorporation and without admission of any wrongdoing in the tow n's earlier attempt to incorporate, according to ajoint press statement released Monday. The agreement reverted Bulverde Northwest back to its pre-incorporation status and allowed Ingram to continue its plans to build a concrete batch plant off U.S. 281 and Texas 46 within the former city limits of the fledgling town it sued. The resolution stated that Ingram and Bulverde Northwest would agree to cooperate in the future on issues of mutual concern. Attorney Bill Zeis of Austin-based Fulbright & Jaworski, which represented Ingram, and attorney Egon R. Tausch, who represented the Town of Bulverde Northwest, said they could not comment on the settlement as part of the agreement reached between the parties.

Those looking for some relief from the drought w ill have to wait a bit longer rainfall Monday measured less than .05 inches in the greater New Braunfels area. About I inch of rainfall is needed to lower the drought index, according to the Texas Forest Service. Tips for Residents When it Freezes: To prevent frozen pipes: — Open cabinet doors where water pipes are below sinks or vanities and near outside By Erin Magruder Staff Writer Monday's long-awaited rainfall produced slick roads that could pose driving hazards for morning commuters. If the roadways are still wet today, drivers should take extra precautions as they head to work, Lt. John Wommack of the New Braunfels Police Department said. "Since the weather has been so dry lately, tile streets w ill be extra slick because of the oil and grease on the roads," Wommack said. To be on the safe side, drivers should increase the follow ing distance between themselves and other vehicles, he said. Commuters also should slow down and observe other vehicles closer, allowing enough reaction time to prevent a collision, Wommack said. A four-car collision Monday on W. San Antonio Street was caused by a driver who did not allow enough stopping distance on the TODAY Cold and rain Highs near 40 N wind near 10 mph TONIGHT Cloudy Lows near 30 N wind near 5 mph slippery street, Wommack said.

The RestaurantMature
'I'll see you later Mum,' I shouted as I headed for the door. 'I'll probably be late so don't wait up for me.'
'Where are you going?' Mum asked, sticking her head out of the kitchen.
'Out. I don't know exactly where.'
'You never just 'go out'. What are you doing?'
'I've got a date.'
'Really?' Mum said, suddenly very interested. 'Who with? Anyone I would know?'
'Just someone from work. I doubt you would know him.'
'You've been in a job a week and you're already dating your co-workers?' Mum gave me her disapproving look. 'That's not the way to move forward Alannah. You have to work hard. That's the way to get a promotion.'
'I'm not dating him to get a better job!' I exclaimed, shocked my mother would think that of me. 'Andrew doesn't even work in my department.'
'Well be careful. You don't want people getting the wrong ideas about you.'
'What do you mean by that?' I asked putting my hand on my hip and looking questioningly at my mother.
'Sleeping with the boss isn't going to endear you to anyone.'
'Goodbye Mum,' I said, opening the front door and walking out towards the waiting car parked outside my parent's house. 'I need to find my own place,' I muttered, remembering to smile as Andrew stepped out of the driver's door and hugged me, kissing both my cheeks.
'You look lovely,' he said, moving around the car to open the passenger door for me.
'Thank you.' I was feeling nervous as Andrew walked back around the car, slipped into the driver's seat and started the engine.
'I thought we could go to this little Italian place I know,' Andrew said, clearly feeling the tension too. 'It's a family run business and a friend of mine is the waiter there. The food is wonderful.'
'That sounds lovely,' I said, trying to keep smiling, unsure what else I could say. 'This is a nice car,' I commented after a few moments, not wanting to sit in silence for the entire journey. But I knew I'd chosen to make the wrong comment as soon as the words left my mouth. I didn't know anything about Andrew's car other than that it was a silver, four door Mercedes. I had no interest in cars whatsoever. As long as I could get from A to B in it I didn't care.
'You know about cars?' Andrew asked, surprised.
'Or course,' I lied. The fib was out of my mouth before I could stop it and I knew I would have to follow it up.
'I didn't have you down as a car person. I don't think I know any women who know anything about a car beyond its colour.'
'But I'm not like other women I responded, cringing at the cheesiness of the phrase that had just left my lips. Luckily, it didn't seem to bother Andrew, who just laughed.
That short exchange seemed to break the ice and the silence that followed wasn't the tense atmosphere of before, but was more comfortable.
Andrew had made a good choice with the restaurant, which was hidden in a quiet part of town. It had very few tables and only one of them was filled when we arrived, which meant it was wonderfully quiet.
'Andy!' The waiter approached us as soon as we walked in, opening his arms and embracing my date. 'I haven't seen you in here for weeks. What's happened?'
'Oh you know,' Andrew replied casually. 'I've been very busy at work.'
'That's always your excuse!'
'But surprisingly it's true. But let me introduce you to Alannah. Alannah this is my good friend, Marco. His father owns the restaurant.'
'Lovely to meet you,' I said, holding out my hand for him to shake and having to stop myself from crying out in pain as it connected with his stomach, bending back on itself as he pulled me into an enthusiastic hug.
'It's wonderful to meet you too my dear,' he said, pulling out of his embrace and taking a good look at me. 'You're much prettier than the other girls Andy brings here.'
'So I'm not the first,' I said, raising one eyebrow.
'I haven't brought that many girls here,' Andrew said defensively, blushing slightly.
'But you are by far the prettiest,' Marco repeated, ignoring Andrew as he took my coat and hung it on the rack behind the door. 'What did he have to do to make you come out on a date with him?'
'I didn't do anything,' Andrew protested, 'I just asked her and she said yes.'
'If you say so,' Marco smirked, winking at me in a secretive manner. 'I'll find you a nice table where you won't be disturbed.'

At the top of the ladder is awareness, or pure experience - the edge of yourself, and possibly the beginning of GodBarry Long
We simply need that wild country available to us, even if we never do more than drive to its edge and look in. For it can be a means of reassuring ourselves of our sanity as creatures, a part of the geography of hope.Wallace Stegner
The freedom of authentic masculinity is an amazing thing to see. It produces a "divine elasticity" in men. Finally they can lead with firmness, then submit with humility. They can challenge with a cutting edge, then encourage with enthusiasm. They can fight aggressively for just causes, then moments later weep over suffering.Bill Hybels
Who can cloy the hungry edge of appetite?William Shakespeare
Familiarity so dulls the edge of perception as to make us least acquainted with things forming part of our daily life.Julia Ward Howe
Though familiarity may not breed contempt, it takes off the edge of admiration.William Hazlitt
Those who talk on the razor-edge of double-meanings pluck the rarest blooms from the precipice on either side.Logan Pearsall Smith
Something will have gone out of us as a people if we ever let the remaining wilderness be destroyed; if we permit the last virgin forests to be turned into comic books and plastic cigarette cases; if we drive the few remaining members of the wild species into zoos or to extinction; if we pollute the last clean air and dirty the last clean streams and push our paved roads through the last of the silence, so that never again will Americans be free from noise, the exhausts, the stinks of human and automotive waste. And so that never again can we have the chance to see ourselves single, separate, vertical and individual in the world, part of the environment of trees and rocks and soil, brother to the other animals, part of the natural world and competent to belong in it. We simply need that wild country available to us, even if we never do more than drive to its edge and look in. For it can be a means of reassuring ourselves of our sanity as creatures, a part of the geography of hope.Wallace Stegner
The shore is an ancient world, for as long as there has been an earth and sea there has been this place of the meeting of land and water. Yet it is a world that keeps alive the sense of continuing creation and of the relentless drive of life. Each time that I enter it, I gain some new awareness of its beauty and its deeper meanings, sensing that intricate fabric of life by which one creature is linked with another, and each with its surroundings... There is a common thread that links these scenes and memories -- the spectacle of life in all its varied manifestations as it has appeared, evolved, and sometimes died out. Underlying the beauty of the spectacle there is meaning and significance. It is the elusiveness of that meaning that haunts us, that sends us again and again into the natural world where the key to the riddle is hidden. It sends us back to the edge of the sea, where the drama of life played its first scene on earth and perhaps even its prelude; where the forces of evolution are at work today, as they have been since the appearance of what we know as life; and where the spectacle of living creatures faced by the cosmic realities of their world is crystal clear.Rachel Carson
Go to the edge of the cliff and jump off. Build your wings on the way down.Ray Douglas Bradbury
In 1990, the MPAA introduced the NC-17 rating to provide an outlet for legitimate adult fare non-pornographic motion pictures with content deemed too strong for the under-17 crowd. The first movie released with an NC-17 was Henry & June, whose financial failure was widely blamed on the new rating. After that, all potentially-lucrative films receiving an NC-17 made the cuts required by the MPAA to earn an R. Now, in 1995, there's Showgirls, the most significant test of the NC-17's commercial viability to date. Helmed by Paul Verhoeven (Total Recall, Basic Instinct) and written by Joe Eszterhas (Jagged Edge, Basic Instinct), this movie is going into wide release with the adult rating. Too bad it's one of the worst films of the year.James Berardinelli
A sharp tongue is the only edge tool that grows keener with constant use.Washington Irving
Suffering, once accepted, loses its edge, for the terror of it lessens, and what remains is generally far more manageable than we had imagined.Lesley Hazelton
The healthy being craves an occasional wildness, a jolt from normality, a sharpening of the edge of appetite, his own little festival of Saturnalia, a brief excursion from his way of life.Robert Maclver

In the Philippines, egg noodles are either round or flat, or thin or thick. All kinds are used interchangeably for soups and stir fries. The thick variety (called "miki" locally) was used for this stir fried egg noodles with pork and vegetables. Stir fried thick noodles are popularly known as pancit miki in the Philippines.
The kikiam used here is commercial kikiam which contains a lot of starch, as opposed to the better quality tawpe (bean curd skin) wrapped kikiam sold sliced in Chinese restaurants. Why not use the better kind? Because the meat will come loose during cooking.
You need only one pan to cook this stir fried egg noodles with pork and vegetables. A wok is ideal but a good frying pan will do as well.
Start by lightly frying the sliced kikiam.
Scoop out the kikiam, brown the pork then add the aromatics.
And then the liver.
The vegetables go in next.
By the time the vegetables are done, the meat would be done as well.
Season the stir fried meat and vegetables.
Toss in the noodles and you're done.
Easy, right?
- 250 g. of pancit miki, boiled and rinsed (see instructions)
- 300 g. of pork belly, boiled and cut into half-inch cubes
- 100 g. of commercial kikiam, sliced
- 50 to 75 g. of pork liver, sliced thinly
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 to 2 carrots, julienned
- 12 Baguio beans, trimmed and sliced diagonally
- ¼ of a head of white cabbage, shredded
- 2 tbsps. of cooking oil
- about 4 tbsps. of light soy sauce
- about 2 tbsps. of kalamansi juice (lemon or lime juice may be substituted)
- freshly ground black pepper
- Heat the cooking oil in a wok or frying pan. Brown the sliced kikiam. Transfer to a plate.
- Into the remaining oil, add the pork and cook until the edges are lightly browned. Add the onion and garlic and cook until fragrant, about one minute.
- Add the pork liver. Stir.
- Add the carrot and beans. Stir fry for about 30 seconds.
- Add the shredded cabbage. Stir.
- Season with soy sauce, kalamansi juice and pepper.
- Add the noodles and kikiam. Stir fry just until everything is heated through.
- Serve at once with more soy sauce and kalamansi juice on the side.

She pulled herself up further onto the rubble, pulling her legs up closer and resting her head atop her knees, her arms wrapped snugly around both legs. "I am supposed to be Gaia's secret weapon... But I hated training, and practicing, I hated being told what to do. I just wanted to go outside and see all of the beautiful things the world had outside of that cramped lab." She swallowed to clear her throat, closing her eyes for a few seconds again. She exhaled and spoke quietly, "my father did this to me..."

"I can only confirm that two Cambodian peacekeepers died Tuesday in Mali in suspicted food poisoning," Ken Sosavoeun, deputy director of the military's Peacekeeping Operations Department, told Xinhua.
"This was the first time that our peacekeepers died on the UN peacekeeping mission overseas," he said.
Cambodia sent 309 troops to Mali in February to join a UN peacekeeping mission.
Mali was plunged into turmoil after a March 2012 coup that led to an Islamic rebel takeover of large swathes of the West African country. France launched a military operation in January last year to oust them.

Pedestrians responsible for road safety as well
The China Post news staff Monday, May 31, 2010, 9:37 am TWN
Taipei City Councilor Hong Jian-yi criticized the city government for neglecting to enforce its pedestrian-first policy. Following a high-profile accident last month, in which former ambassador to South Africa Loh I-cheng was hit by a taxi and hospitalized, the issue of drivers not yielding to pedestrians is once again in the spotlight. The Taipei City Government cranked up the crackdown and issued almost 1,300 tickets in less than one month after Loh's unfortunate incident. It is true that motorists must respect pedestrians' right of way, but everyone using the road should be responsible for his own safety. In the same period that police stepped up their crackdown on unyielding motorists, no less than 5,785 pedestrians were fined for violating traffic rules, most of which was for jaywalking. According to the Department of Transportation, between 2007 and 2009, police issued 25,239 tickets for motorists failing to yield to pedestrians at crosswalks but more than 430,000 tickets for pedestrian violations. In that same period, Taipei City Police Department, Traffic Division's records show that around half of all pedestrians involved in traffic accidents between 2007 and 2009 violated traffic laws themselves.
The Vienna Convention on Road Traffic, agreed at the United Nations Economic and Social Council's Conference on Road Traffic in 1968, places the responsibility for traffic safety on not only motorists but also pedestrians. According to excerpts from article 20, "Pedestrians wishing to cross a carriageway shall NOT step on to it without exercising care ... (or) without taking the distance and speed of approaching vehicles into account ... (or) without first making sure that they can do so without impeding vehicle traffic."
Taiwan is, for obvious reasons, not a signatory party, but there's no reason why the spirit of this treaty cannot be alive and well on this island. Traffic accidents will most likely decrease when both motorists and pedestrians realize that little can be gained by arguing over the legitimacy of their right of way.

The smooth functioning of the roads depends fundamentally on the priority hierarchy, which varies depending on the situation. Without that, nothing else works, and people making up their own rules (i.e., Blue Truck>Mercedes>Taxi>Scooter) is the reason why Taiwan's road system sucks more out of the economy than it contributes.
Example: the bizarre wait-on-the-right-before-turning-left mechanism for scooters, which I have seen nowhere else in the world, is an implicit acknowledgement that nobody knows how to turn left and is not interested in learning. In most countries, the proper method is implied by giving oncoming traffic priority over turning traffic; therefore, those who wish to turn left must therefore wait and turn behind vehicles going straight. In Taiwan, turning left is a slow and farcical free-for-all, because this priority rule does not exist.
You will also note that Taiwan is built for cars, not people. In most areas, there are no sidewalks. How, then, do you draw a distinction between jaywalking and simply walking - since walking necessarily involves walking on the road?
Taiwan needs a thorough overhaul of its attitude to vehicles and the road system. Tinkering with the rules and handing out a few more tickets is a complete waste of time.

The insurance industry in Saudi Arabia has developed significantly over the last decade, according to a report by rating agency AM Best.
The report, "Saudi Arabia's Insurance Market Adapts to Dramatic Change", found that while insurance penetration in Saudi Arabia is still relatively low, it has grown rapidly in the past few years.
"The introduction of compulsory health schemes, which began with expatriates from 2006, has been a major driver of growth in recent years," said Mahesh Mistry, associate director of analytics at AM Best.
"Health represented 53 percent of gross written premiums in 2010, compared to 32 percent in 2006, in a growing market.
"The majority of business retained by Saudi insurers is retail, in particular, motor and medical, which creates a challenging operating environment for insurers given the competitive nature of these products. Moreover, persistent low rates as a result of intense competition and the zakat burden faced by companies are likely to continue to create a difficult operating environment and pose a risk to shareholders' equity."

On Using Random Walks to Solve the Space-Fractional Advection-Dispersion Equations

The solution of space-fractional advection-dispersion equations (fADE) by random walks depends on the analogy between the fADE and the forward equation for the associated Markov process. The forward equation, which provides a Lagrangian description of particles moving under specific Markov processes, is derived here by the adjoint method. The fADE, however, provides an Eulerian description of solute fluxes. There are two forms of the fADE, based on fractional-flux (FF-ADE) and fractional divergence (FD-ADE). The FF-ADE is derived by taking the integer-order mass conservation of non-local diffusive flux, while the FD-ADE is derived by taking the fractional-order mass conservation of local diffusive flux. The analogy between the fADE and the forward equation depends on which form of the fADE is used and on the spatial variability of the dispersion coefficient D in the fADE. If D does not vary in space, then the fADEs can be solved by tracking particles following a Markov process with a simple drift and an α-stable Lévy noise with index α that corresponds to the fractional order of the fADE. If D varies smoothly in space and the solute concentration at the upstream boundary remains zero, the FD-ADE can be solved by simulating a Markov process with a simple drift, an α-stable Lévy noise and an additional term with the dispersion gradient and an additional Lévy noise of order α−1. However, a non-Markov process might be needed to solve the FF-ADE with a space-dependent D, except for specific D such as a linear function of space.

Making sure your taxi is legal
Don't use a taxi if:
- the driver appears to be under the influence of alcohol
- the vehicle is in a state of disrepair
- the vehicle is not displaying taxi licence signs in the windows
- the driver has no ID badge
Hailing a taxi
When hailing a taxi on the street:
- it must display a roof sign and window signs
- it must have a taximeter and printer fitted
All taxis with roof signs can be hailed in Belfast from midnight until 6.00 am every Friday and Saturday night, and on public holidays.
Booking a taxi
If booking a taxi, confirm on its arrival that the taxi is for you by checking the driver knows your name and destination.
You should also always:
- try to pre-book at busy times or if you have special requirements, including use of a wheelchair
- ask how much the fare is likely to be (if the taxi has a taximeter, the exact fare will not be known until the end of the journey)
- check the fare card displayed in the taxi against the taximeter reading (where there is a taximeter) to make sure the fare you are charged is right
- wear your seatbelt
- distract the driver
- drink alcohol
- get in or out of the taxi while it's moving
- drop litter
- spoil or damage the taxi - you may be liable to pay for this
- smoke in the vehicle

Children's Opera: What It Takes, And Why The New One At The Linbury Doesn't Do The Job
In fairness, Act II holds together better and with stronger definition; but Act I drags on and doesnt tell the story clearly. Were I twelve Im sure Id like the animals but cant imagine that Id understand what they were doing. Still less, what it signified. Of course, its hard to write effectively for children: how many composers have struck gold since Britten and Prokofiev? Very few. So its as well that people like Julian Philips keep trying.

UK Tech Jobs Get A Boost
The site is run by developer and Hacker News London attendee Jon Gilbraith and former tech recruitment consultant turned web project manager Steve Buckley . According to the sites blog, the service was set up because There is a sincere lack of high quality job boards available for the tech community in the UK.There are plenty of options for job seekers out there but they are either saturated by recruiters or the jobs are incredibly generic and middle of the road. Steve Buckley, who wrote the latest post on the site, explains its origins: Jon and I sat together in a pub after another successful Hacker News London meet-up and started discussing how some of the current popular job boards make millions of pounds every year despite advertising mediocre jobs on ugly sites with terrible UI/UX. We concluded that the primary reason these sites were just terrible examples of the industry is because they catered primarily for their number one revenue stream which is the recruitment industry. A few pints later, just as the Ballmer Peak had set in, Jon and I had absolutely nailed everything that was wrong with job boards and we decided that between the two of us we simply had to do something about it. The site bears a good start for the tech community with jobs available for developers of iOS and Android, web, C++ and Qt as well as a role for UX designers. Locations available at the moment include London, Huddersfield and Edinburgh. With a coders in hot demand right now, its set to become a popular destination both for job seekers and those looking for new staff.

Financial crisis: UK job losses
The research shows that salaries for startups are also 17% higher than industry averages. A software developer in a UK tech startup can earn just under $73,000 a year and a designer can earn about $62,500. The UK has been putting earnest focus into developing its tech entrepreneurial credibility, touting its growing number of startups and openly debating how to create an environment to better cultivate young companies and nurture budding would-be founders. Some ideas include buffing the edges off of tax laws such as capital gains penalties of investors and simplifying the path to creating public companies. Ultimately, the only way for London, Cambridge and the rest of the countrys tech clusters to simulate the Silicon Valley culture is to make things more comfortable for venture and seed investors that hover around San Francisco. Thats not to say that the UK doesnt have moneylenders of its own.

"Friendly and good help... once you get seen!"
About: Ashford Hospital Ashford Hospital Ashford TW15 3AA
Posted by Anonymous
Visited the walk in centre on a Saturday after booking an appointment via 111 for my son. Had to wait over 1.5hrs even with the appointment. What is the point of an appointment system in this facility? Is it part of a scheme to extort more money from the expensive car parking? Once seen we did experience friend and knowledgable help from the doctor but they really do need to review the appointment vs walk-in system. We would definitely seek out alternatives rather than come back to Ashford.

With the loss of Sven Bender for the next six weeks, Borussia Dortmund were handed a huge boost on Monday evening.
The German side completed their final training session ahead of their UEFA Champions League match at Zenit St. Petersburg with both Robert Lewandowski and Mats Hummels. Lewandowski had been a doubt after coming down with the flu while Hummels has been recovering from an ankle injury.
Dortmund have been hit with myriad injury problems this season, seeing nearly all of their regular starting lineup miss large chunks of the season due to injury. Centerback Neven Subotic and right winger Jakob Blaszczykowski both suffered season-ending injuries, while midfielder Ilkay Gundogan hasn't played yet this season due to a frustrating back injury.
Lewandowski played 67 minutes in Dortmund's surprising 3-0 defeat to Hamburg, while the German international Hummels hasn't played since Jan. 31.
Here are some more stories to start off your Tuesday:
After recovering from yet another knee injury, Danny Welbeck could return to the Manchester United lineup on Tuesday.
According to reports in England, when Man United take the field in the Champions League against Olympiakos, Danny Welbeck could take the place of Juan Mata in the lineup. Mata is ineligible because he already featured for Chelsea in the Champions League group stage.
Welbeck has scored nine goals in 24 games in all competitions this season, though he hasn't played for the Red Devils since Feb. 1. One of Welbeck's goals this season did come in the Champions League however, in a 1-1 draw at Shakhtar Donetsk.
Instead of the original 9.5 million euros ($13.1 million), Barcelona ended up paying the Spanish high court a sum of 13.5 million euros to cover any future charges of tax dodging over the controversial Neymar transfer. (REPORT)
Fiorentina midfielder Borja Valero has been suspended for four games after making contact with the referee while protesting a red card. He'll miss games against Juventus, Lazio, and Napoli. (REPORT)
Juventus were fined 25,000 euros after fans displayed a discriminatory banner against Torino about the Superga air disaster. (REPORT)
Atletico Paranaense announced that their new stadium, Arena da Baixada, will be ready for the World Cup on April 30, just ahead of FIFA's final deadline of May 15. (REPORT)
A Santos supporter was brutally beaten up following a derby match between Santos and Sao Paulo and later died from his injuries. (REPORT)
What do you think of these reports? Think that both Lewy and Hummels could start? Like Man United's chances at Olympiakos with Welbeck in the lineup? What do you think of the Neymar tax payment?
Share your thoughts below.
Love how Barca paid that fine but still deny any wrongdoing, if you didn't do anything wrong you wouldn't be giving away 13.5 million euros
Yeah that was strange its like they must get no interest loans they never have to pay back from local catalonian banks/local municipalities or something…
Could just mean that a legal war would cost more than 13.5 million. Or in this instance they did not do anything wrong but bring it up to trail and they may see all the other things they have done wrong
Nate Dollars
that's actually pretty standard for big companies worldwide, not just for spanish mega-clubs. it can be much more beneficial to pay a penalty upfront rather than pay trial fees and drag the whole thing out in hopes that you don't have to pay anything (or as much) at the end.
Quit whining about soccer in the US
Completely disagree with doing nothing wrong and paying fine.
That is one way of looking at it, and maybe the correct way.
The other way ?
It seems to me like a shake down, you don't want to be part of Spain, here is your fee.
Pay it or face the conseqences which would be much worst.
It looks like Ukraine moved its friendly against the USMNT to Cyprus.

This was a desire to produce aesthetic objects â works of art. For a reader expecting a more conventional; scientifically oriented; and empirically objective project; this paper will beg a question about the nature of research. It also raises an age-old problem or question about what art really is. I hope the following paper will shed some light on these issues. I also hope to show how the projects I have undertaken over the last 20 years through a range of media might; and correctly should; have been considered as legitimate forms of research representing a concerted investigation into life in the contemporary city.

|[jira] Commented: (EMAIL-64) Use wiser instead of dumbster for test cases
|Tue, 13 Feb 2007 04:39:05 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EMAIL-64?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12472517 ] Bindul Bhowmik commented on EMAIL-64: ------------------------------------- Thanks. Before I dive into the changes I had a couple of questions: 1. Wiser is licensed under LGPL. Is that fine? I understand that we would not be distributing the wiser code/binaries, but we would be linking to them. I am not strong on legal aspects of licenses, so just clarifying. 2. Unlike dumbster, Wiser does not have any direct methods to check if the SMTPServer is running, and the test code checks that at a multiple of locations. We could abandon that check all together or we could check if the SMTPServer is running using two ways: check for the Thread (SMTPServer starts the thread with its classname), or try to check if the socket is listening. Wanted to know the preference of the community on this. > Use wiser instead of dumbster for test cases > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: EMAIL-64 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EMAIL-64 > Project: Commons Email > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 1.1 > Reporter: Ben Speakmon > Fix For: 1.1 > > > Since the test cases depend on a snapshot of the dead project dumbster, the tests should be changed to use the wiser test email server instead. Marking as 1.1 fix since this should get done before 1.1 goes out the door. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

Is > SOAP currently able to handle null String objects during serializing? I'd classify this as a known bug. It is present in a number of SOAP implementations - something you can graphically see by looking at the third row of http://www.mds.rmit.edu.au/~ajk/soap/interop-results.htm#r2a The particular implementation you sent is missing a key element of the current Apache SOAP 2.2 implementation - namely a call to Utils.cleanString. In any case, the problem you have reported and a number of other important "edge cases" have been addressed in Apache Axis. - Sam Ruby

I agree with both caymancake and Corrie. Start now while you are still early in your career with cakes so that you can get it established that your 'tools' are not up for borrowing. You had to pay for the stand, and believe me, things get damaged in this business and have to be replaced. I go with Corrie on this one: deposit/rental fee. Business is business and friendship is friendship.

Welcome to the third edition of the PinoyBlog Carnival! Hosted by yours truly, jhay the Pinoy Explorer. 😀
It's almost been a month since the much coveted Isulong seoph contest was launched by SEO Philippines and thus far, it has been among hottest craze in the Pinoy blogosphere and it how shouldn't be? With over a whopping P130, 000 pesos in prizes, Pinoy bloggers wanting to take a shot at it have went to full gear and have come up and tried almost anything and everything to improve their chances of landing the number 1 spot in the Google.com.ph search for the key words: "Isulong seoph"
So, in support of this great project and of the contestants, this third edition of the PinoyBlog Carnival is all about Isulong seoph.
Only three Pinoy bloggers who have entered the contest have submitted their entry pages to become part of this Isulong seoph edition of the PinoyBlog Carnival. So without further adeu let's kick off this PinoyBlog Carnival right now.
Noel's isulong seoph lays down in layman's terms what this Isulong seoph contest is all about. It's benefits and beneficiaries and its overall impact on the future of the IT, internet, [tag]blogging[/tag] and [tag]search engine marketing[/tag] and [tag]optimization[t/ag] industries.
In fact, its positive and productive benefits can already be felt today. One such Pinay blogger who has indeed benefited from the Isulong seoph contest is Junelle Caravana who testifies that SEO newbies and alike has learned a lot about seo techniques and strategies. Though it may be a tall order, Junelles says just seeing her page land in the number 1 page of Google for Isulong seoph is enough to make her very happy. Aside from the contestants, other Pinoy bloggers who did not joined I'm sure has also learned a thing or two about seo tricks and techniques especially when they actively supported their [tag]blogging[/tag] friends who have joined the contest.
Kudos to the organizers of the contest for once again, they have brought the Pilipino blogging community much closer together; in competition and cooperation.
Lastly, and for a little dose of fun, major who shouted Isulong seoph has come up with good ways on how not to win the Isulong seoph contest. So if you're tired of typing Isulong seoph in your blog or somewhere else, you might just have to follow some or all of major's advice. If not, then go on and press harder, aim for number one and shout "[tag]Isulong seoph[/tag]!"
This is it for this edition of the [tag]PinoyBlog Carnival[/tag], thank you for reading, do visit the participants and see you all again at the next edition. Many thanks and Isulong Pinoy Blogging!

This is a follow up to an earlier post about COMException error messages. http://blogs.msdn.com/jaredpar/archive/2005/03/25/402386.aspx
In my previous post we examined the process by which an HRESULT is converted to a COMException by the CLR. Several people have asked me about the reverse, how do error messages make their way from the CLR to COM? They propagate in much the same fasion. When an exception crosses a managed to native barrier, the CLR will return a failing HRESULT to the COM object that made the call. The CLR will also support ISupportErrorInfo on the RCW so the original calling COM object can store the error information appropriately.
