The Battle of Lake Erie:
At dawn on the morning of September 10, 1813, a lookout spotted six vessels to the northwest past Rattlesnake Island. Immediately Master Commandant Oliver Hazard Perry - Commodore of the United States fleet on Lake Erie issued a flurry of orders and made preparations to sail forth to engage the British. Perry had been waiting for this moment for a long time. He had arrived at Erie, Pennsylvania in late March and under his supervision a flotilla of ships had been constructed in the wilderness. Though encountering many frustrations in the attempt to arm, man, and equip his fleet, Perry's perseverance paid off when on August 12, 1813 his tiny fleet sailed for western Lake Erie. Perry rendezvoused with General William Henry Harrison at Sandusky Bay, and following discussions concerning the upcoming campaign the commanders selected Put-in-Bay harbor for the American naval base. From this strategic location Perry could observe British fleet movements, while at the same time train his crews and wait for Robert Heriott Barclay's squadron.
The British, after maintaining naval control over Lake Erie for more than a year, were now experiencing difficulties. With Perry's fleet on the lake their naval force was outnumbered, but more importantly the water supply route from Fort Malden to Port Dover had been severed; the British faced the unhappy choice to either fight, or to abandon Fort Malden and the Old Northwest. In early September construction of the new British flagship - the Detroit - was completed, and with this additional strength they opted to fight. On the afternoon of September 9, with their ships manned mostly by poorly trained British soldiers, Canadian militia, and provincial mariners, the British ships floated down the Detroit River and into western Lake Erie.
The British squadron consisted of six ships with sixty-three cannons, while the American flotilla comprised nine vessels and fifty-four guns. The British were armed mostly with long guns, the traditional naval weapon which could throw a cannonball approximately one mile, accurately to about one-half mile. The American ships were armed primarily with carronades. A carronade possessed numerous advantages over the more traditional weapon, but the stubby-barreled cannon had less than half the range of a long gun. Thus for Perry to make effective tactical use of his flotilla it would be necessary to fight at short range, where his heavy carronades would confer firepower superiority. But to close within carronade range Perry would first need the wind at his back.
When the squadron sailed from Put-in-Bay harbor at 7:00 a.m. the American vessels were steering west-northwest; the wind was blowing from the west-southwest, according the weather gauge to the British. For more than two hours Perry clawed to windward, repeatedly tacking in an effort to weather Rattlesnake Island, but with no success. If Barclay should maintain the weather gauge he could heave-to outside carronade range and pound the American flotilla into submission piecemeal, whereas Perry would be unable to close within range for his carronades. The frustrated commodore conceded to mother nature at 10:00 a.m., issuing orders to turn his fleet in the opposite direction. But before the order could be executed the wind suddenly shifted and blew from the southeast, placing the wind directly behind the Americans and bestowing upon Perry the critical weather gauge advantage.
Perry's opponent, Commander Robert Heriott Barclay, was an experienced Royal Navy officer who had fought with Lord Nelson at Trafalgar in 1805, and two years later he lost an arm fighting the French. Barclay's options did not alter when the wind shifted, so the Scotsman pointed his bowsprits to the westward, clewed-up his sails and hove to in line of battle.
With the wind at his back and the British battle line finally revealed, Perry made his own tactical adjustments. The Schooners Ariel and Scorpion were placed off the flagship's weather bow to engage the first British vessel and to prevent the enemy from raking his fleet. The Lawrence, a 20-gun brig serving as Perry's flagship, was third in line and would engage the Detroit, Barclay's 19-gun flagship. Next in line floated the Caledonia, a small brig with only three guns. Fifth in the American line of battle was the Niagara, Perry's other 20-gun brig and the Lawrence's sistership.
The Niagara, captained by Master Commandant Jesse Elliott, would engage the 17-gun Queen Charlotte, the second largest British ship. Lastly came the smaller schooners and sloop; these would engage the smaller British vessels.
Just before the engagement opened Perry hoisted his battle flag to the flagship's main truck. The large navy blue banner was emblazoned with the crudely inscribed words, "DONT GIVE UP THE SHIP". For his battle slogan Perry used the dying words of Captain James Lawrence, a friend of the commodore who was killed on June 1, 1813. Perry's flagship was named for the fallen Lawrence, and the dead hero's inspiring words clearly indicated Perry's determination to prevail.
At 11:45 a.m. the Detroit fired the first shot at extreme range, a 24-pounder that splashed harmlessly near the Lawrence. A few minutes later a second 24-pounder was fired, but this time the heavy ball punched through the bulwarks of the Lawrence and flying splinters killed and wounded American sailors. The Lawrence's carronades were still far out of range, so Perry issued orders to the Scorpion, with one long 24-pounder, and the Ariel, with four long 12-pounders, to open fire. For the next thirty minutes Perry struggled to close within range, during which time the Lawrence was forced to pass almost the entire British battle line, suffering punishment all the way.
Another problem for Perry was the small gunboats bringing up the rear of his battle line. Because the wind was light the little schooners and sloop fell behind early, and even with all sail set and sweeps working, when the battle opened they were still two miles astern and temporarily out of the fray.
At 12:15 p.m. Perry fetched up within range, luffing his flagship to bring her starboard guns to bear. When the Lawrence loosed her broadside the heavy 32-pounders crashed into the British ships; as soon as the Niagara moved in the advantage would rest with the Americans. The commodore peered astern, expecting to see the Niagara edging in toward the Queen Charlotte, but instead of closing, Perry was shocked to note that Jesse Elliott had brailed the Niagara's jib and backed her main topsail, a tactic which held the Niagara dead in the water.
Elliott's actions were somewhat justified initially. The Caledonia, directly ahead of the Niagara, also shortened sail. The Caledonia's commander, facing the Queen Charlotte's vastly superior broadside, wisely decided to stand off and not futilely jeopardize his vessel. Since one of Elliott's two procedural directives dictated that he maintain his position in line, Perry's second-in-command was simply following his superior's orders. Elliott opened with the Niagara's 12-pounder bow chaser, which in his current position astern of the Caledonia was the only gun able to bear.
As the battle progressed the Caledonia continued to hesitate, so Elliott decided to range in front of the smaller brig. The Niagara's captain displayed initiative by abandoning the rigid line-of-battle tactic, justifiably disregarding one of his superior's orders. Having made his move Elliott could now follow Perry's second specific order, to engage his designated adversary at close range - the Niagara's pre-ordained opponent was the Queen Charlotte. But instead of closing with the British line Elliott eased the Niagara to windward, angling slightly away from the enemy ships. The reason for Elliott's questionable movement is still being debated, but regardless of motive the Niagara's carronades, almost forty percent of Perry's total broadside strength, sat indolently out of range.
With the Niagara lingering to windward the Queen Charlotte's guns were rendered useless. The commander of the second largest British vessel, possibly not understanding his adversary's move but anxious to bring his guns to bear, allowed his vessel to pay off and glide forward of the General Hunter, where she could assist the Detroit against the Lawrence. Practically ignoring the smaller American support vessels, the Detroit, Queen Charlotte, and General Hunter focused their broadsides, pounding the Lawrence while the Niagara remained a spectator. Fighting desperately the American flagship inflicted considerable damage upon the British, but the Lawrence was overwhelmed by superior firepower. By 2:30 p.m. the flagship was a floating wreck; every gun on her engaged side was disabled and four of every five men fit for duty were either killed or wounded. Perry was facing the dismal prospect of surrender.
Then, as he gazed across to the Niagara, still out of range and relatively undamaged, the commodore made a fateful decision. Collecting four unwounded men Perry manned the flagship's first cutter and rowed through a hail of shot to the Niagara. Miraculously Perry and his boat crew reached the Niagara unscathed.
Following a brief conversation the flotilla commander dispatched Elliott in the same small boat to hurry along the lagging gunboats. Perry then prepared the Niagara for immediate action, put the helm up, and sailed toward the British line.
The British, though they had pounded the Lawrence into a crippled hulk, had suffered terribly. During the engagement Barclay was severely wounded, plus the captain and first lieutenant of every British vessel was incapacitated. The English fleet was now commanded by junior officers - brave men, but with little or no experience maneuvering ships in the chaos of combat. When they observed the Niagara bearing down on their line the British attempted to wear ship - to turn their vessels around to bring the unused starboard broadsides to bear. Orders were issued, but amidst the tumult of battle the battered Detroit and Queen Charlotte collided, becoming helplessly entangled.
Taking full advantage of the enemy blunder, Perry steered the Niagara through the jumbled British battle line. Unleashing both broadsides, the American commodore ravaged the vulnerable British ships. As the Niagara pressed through the British line Perry backed the maintop sail, holding the Niagara stationary while her belching carronades decimated the enemy decks. The wind had also picked up by this time, allowing the sluggish gunboats to rush forward and rake the enemy from astern.
A few minutes after 3:00 p.m. the British bowed to the inevitable, the four largest vessels surrendering one by one. The gunboats Chippawa and Little Belt sheered off and tried to escape, but they were tracked down and snared by the Scorpion and Trippe. The entire British fleet had been captured. The vessels anchored and hasty repairs were underway near West Sister Island when Perry composed his now famous message to William Henry Harrison. Scrawled in pencil on the back of an old envelope, Perry wrote,
"Dear General:
We have met the enemy and they are ours. Two ships, two brigs, one schooner and one sloop.
Yours with great respect and esteem,
O.H. Perry".
The Battle of Lake Erie proved one of the most resounding triumphs of the War of 1812. The victory secured control of the lake, forcing the British to abandon Fort Malden and retreat up the Thames River. Harrison's army pursued, decisively defeating the small British army and its allied Indian force on October 5, 1813 at the Battle of the Thames. And later, during the peace talks, the dual victories of Lake Erie and the Thames insured that the states of Ohio and Michigan would remain the sovereign territory of the United States of America.

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev says the current level of rearmament of Russia's military is similar to the Soviet Union's rearmament toward the end of World War II.
Medvedev was speaking to a group of veterans ahead of May 9 Victory Day celebrations marking the end of the war in Europe.
Medvedev said some 75 percent of weapons currently used would be replaced with modern weapons before 2020.Sponsored Ads
Medvedev said the process is already well under way.
"I think [the rearmament campaign] is only comparable to what we had during [World War II] and after the war," he said.
All branches of Russia's military have received new weapons.
The first new-generation Su-34 bombers were deployed to the Russian Air Force on May 6.

Medvedev Slams 'Unacceptable' Western Support For Syrian Rebels – Business Insider
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev slammed as "unacceptable" the recognition and support by France and other states of the Syrian opposition battling the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.
Britain and France have joined Turkey and Arabian Peninsula states in recognising a newly formed opposition bloc as the sole representative of the Syrian people. Paris has also suggested arming the opposition fighters.
"From the point of view of international law, this is absolutely unacceptable," Medvedev said in the interview at his suburban Gorki residence.

Putin Wins Six More Years at Kremlin Amid Fraud Allegations – Bloomberg
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin won six more years in the Kremlin, exit polls and preliminary results showed, amid allegations of fraud similar to those that sparked protests after a December parliamentary vote.
Putin, 59, who's been in power for 12 years including the last four years as premier, got 58.3 percent of the vote, the All-Russian Center for the Study of Public Opinion, or VTsIOM, said, citing an exit poll of 159,161 people. Putin got 59.3 percent, according to an exit poll by the Public Opinion Foundation, or FOM. He scored 61.81 percent, with 15.1 percent of votes counted, the Central Electoral Commission said. Official results are due tomorrow.

Sky News: Thousands protest against Putin
Nearly 4000 opponents of Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin have staged a rally in his home town of St Petersburg.
A week before presidential elections in which Putin is the widely favoured candidate, protesters chanted slogans including 'Putin is a thief,' the AP news agency said, adding that police were present in force but that no arrests were reported.
There has been widespread protest in Russia – the largest since the collapse of the Soviet Union more than 20 years ago – since December's parliamentary elections, which drew accusations of voter fraud.
Vladimir Putin fires off nuclear threat over West's 'regime change' plans for Iran | The Australian
RUSSIAN Prime Minister Vladimir Putin accuses the West of seeking "regime change" in Iran and warns Washington that Russia intends to keep its nuclear weapons to keep US power in check.
"Under the guise of trying to prevent the spread of weapons of mass destruction… they are attempting something else entirely and setting different goals – regime change," news agencies quoted Mr Putin as saying.
"We have such suspicions," said Putin. "And we are trying to take a stand that differs from the one they are trying to force on us… concerning the ways that the Iranian nuclear problem might develop."

The Law Of Putin's Jungle
The Russian leader may be in for a surprise: he misjudges his adversaries.
Vladimir Putin is a snake—he says so himself. At his latest four-hour press conference, the Russian prime minister compared himself to Kaa, the huge, hypnotic python from Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book. And the growing ranks of protesters against his regime? He called them "monkeys." As any Jungle Book fan (which includes most Russians) knows, Kaa is "everything that the monkeys feared in the jungle, for none of them knew the limits of his power, none of them could look him in the face, and none had ever come alive out of his hug." Which leaves little doubt about Putin's response to the series of protests that have brought 100,000 people into the streets of Moscow and 100 other Russian cities over the past month. Hypnotize them. Then crush them.
His plan has just one flaw: a large slice of Russia has unexpectedly snapped out of his spell. In the weeks since December's clumsily rigged parliamentary elections, …

Gorbachev condemns Russia's 'imitation' democratic institutions – The Washington Post
As Russia gets ready for another round of elections whose outcomes are in little doubt, Mikhail Gorbachev, the Soviet Union's final leader, condemned on Tuesday what he called "imitation" democratic institutions in his country and he said that Russia's current leaders should not expect to maintain support forever.
Twenty years after Gorbachev presided over the dismantling of the Soviet Union, he has become increasingly critical of Russia's government. Since Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin announced in September that he planned to move back into the presidency, the country's top job, Gorbachev's criticism has only grown.

Oklahoma Auto Insurance Laws and Regulations
A look at Oklahoma car insurance coverage requirements for vehicles in operation in the state, and other laws that might affect a car accident claim in Oklahoma.
This article looks at car insurance laws and regulations in Oklahoma. We'll explain how Oklahoma's fault-based insurance system works after a car accident, and discuss the kinds of car insurance coverage required for vehicles in operation in Oklahoma. If you're looking for more general information on the legal rules related to auto accidents in Oklahoma, check out our article Car Accident Laws in Oklahoma.
Oklahoma is a "Fault" Car Insurance State
Oklahoma follows a traditional "fault" or "tort" system when it comes to liability for a car accident. This means the person who was at fault for the car accident is liable for all personal injury or property damage stemming from the crash, and usually his or her insurance policy will be looked to in order to satisfy this liability. In Oklahoma, a person who has been injured in an auto accident can usually seek redress in one of three ways:
- Filing a claim with his or her own insurer (who will then pursue a subrogation claim with the at-fault driver's insurer)
- Pursuing a claim with the at-fault driver's insurer (sometimes called a "third party" car insurance claim)
- Filing a lawsuit against the at-fault driver
Note: In no-fault states, an injured motorist must usually first exhaust his or her own policy's limits or reach a statutory threshold of damages before pursuing a claim against the at-fault driver. Remedies are also limited in these states. While this is not necessarily a concern for Oklahoma drivers, you can learn more about no-fault rules in our No-Fault Car Insurance section.
Minimum Car Insurance Requirements in Oklahoma
Oklahoma requires that owners of motor vehicles carry liability insurance on any vehicle driven in the state. Under Oklahoma law, the minimum coverage a driver is required to carry is:
- $25,000 for the injury or death of one person (yourself, a passenger, another driver, pedestrian, etc.)
- $50,000 for the injury or death of more than one person in a single accident
- $25,000 for property damage
Keep in mind that while these are the minimum amounts required by law, carrying policies with higher coverage limits is usually a good idea. If you are found at fault for an accident and the damages exceed the limits of your policy, then you may find yourself personally on the hook for the difference.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage
Though Oklahoma law requires all insurance sellers to offer uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage (UIM) with every policy, it does not require that motorists purchase this additional protection. UIM coverage is a supplemental feature of your own policy, intended to protect you if you're in an accident with an at-fault driver who has no insurance or whose coverage is insufficient to cover the damages caused by the accident.
For instance, if you have $30,000 in medical bills following an accident, but the at-fault driver has only the state minimum of $25,000 in liability insurance, then your sufficient UIM coverage would make up the $5,000 difference.
For more information on UIM coverage, see Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage.

There is one guaranteed way of avoiding the fixed grin of Tony Blair when his ardently awaited political memoir, A Journey, finally hits the book shops on 1 September with a thud — 624 pages, for a reported advance of £4.6m.
Although the cover of the regular edition features the former prime minister in sincere stare straight-to-camera and regular-kind-of-guy unbuttoned collar, there is also a special edition with none of those features. For a mere £150, each signed copy will have a curiously liturgical appearance, in a cloth slip case as crimson as a cardinal, with the title stamped in gold.
Blair's publishers, Random House, will attempt to generate Harry Potterish excitement, with the book launched worldwide without advance release of review copies or a pre-publication serialisation deal. Translation rights have already been sold in 14 territories, according to The Bookseller, and an ebook version, and an audio book read by the author, will also be released. A dedicated website, featuring previously unseen photographs, videos and extracts, has also been set up.
A spokeswoman for Random House was unable to reveal how many copies of the special edition have been printed. However, on the Amazon website the regular edition has already been slashed to half price, £12.50.
It may be some comfort to the author that Peter Mandelson's The Third Man, widely thought to have been rushed to publication to beat Blair, has been chopped to exactly the same price. Prelude to Power, the diaries of the real third man, Alastair Campbell, is now even better value at £11.99. Neither book is available in Bible format.
• This article was amended on 10 August 2010. The original said that a dedicated website would be launched on publication day. This has been corrected.

This is a discussion on Anti-Gun Film Festival Honors Pro-Gun Filmmaker -- Sort Of within the The Second Amendment & Gun Legislation Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; From www.imdb.com Anti-Gun Film Festival Honors Pro-Gun Filmmaker -- Sort Of Apparently unaware that its producer/writer/director is an outspoken pro-gun advocate, the Moondance International Film ...
From www.imdb.comAh, savor the irony....Anti-Gun Film Festival Honors Pro-Gun Filmmaker -- Sort Of
Apparently unaware that its producer/writer/director is an outspoken pro-gun advocate, the Moondance International Film Festival, whose stated goal is to "encourage and inspire non-violent conflict resolution," has selected J. Neil Schulman's Lady Magdalene's as a semifinalist in this year's competition. Upon learning of the selection, Schulman congratulated the festival's director "on her openness in placing art before politics, in an age when virtually all film festivals filter out any film not promoting their own narrow prejudices." Informed that Schulman is the webmaster of the World Wide Web Gun Defense Clock, which promotes armed self-defense; is the writer of Stopping Power: Why 70 Million Americans Own Guns; and that his movie reflects his pro-gun views, English said in a statement that the film was selected "based on the film's story of a kind of feminine self-empowerment, but I do not, and Moondance certainly does not, advocate the kind of violence depicted in this film ... which is the reason the film will not be screened at the film festival." The festival is scheduled to take place in Universal City on September 7-9.
A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands - love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper - his hands remember the rifle.
Mmmmmm... that is some yummy irony for sure.
To bad they won't be screening it though.
"You can't shake the devils hand and say you were only kidding"
"Moondance" .......well, HALF the name is right.
feminine self-empowerment is ok by these folks as "non-violent conflict resolution", I wonder is she's a tough chick that doesn't need a man to defend her? That wouldn't necessarily be non-violent. As long as it's not a white, male, Christian it's ok to be self-empowered. Otherwise you're a racist, opressor.
MAN, who peed in my cornflakes this morning? <rant-off>
There are some fine folks out there among the gun grabbers that manage to surrvive. Stephen Hunter the movie critic for the Washington Post. The Post if fairly liberal read anti gun. Stephen Hunter has authored several books on a shooter that could be the fictional personage of Carlos Hathcock the famous sniper of Vietnam.
If you read fiction read some of Hunters books and note his knowledge of guns.

I have the Com III in Black cherry with shark trim. It is an excellent set up.
Friends don't let friends be MALL NINJAS.
I am just as nice as anyone lets me be and can be just as mean as anyone makes me. - Quoted from Terryger, New member to our forum.
I carry an identical Glock 19 in a Don Hume 715M IWB. Works for me.
I've carried a Glock IWB and OWB. For IWB you almost can't beat an MTAC or a Crossbreed. I've had both and would buy another of either. For OWB I chose Carl at cchoslters.com, 21 days from order to delivery for a handmade custom leather holster. I got his "convertible" so I could use it for both IWB and OWB, and I like snaps over slots due to ease of getting on my belt. His wait time may be longer now since he was starting to get more orders.
Of course, there's always the cheap $20 route with a Tagua clip-on.
For Glock
I've carried in this Ed Rodek pancake for several years. Just doesn't show wear. Very heavy leather. Turn around time is about a week. Cost is about $40 +/-.
Thanks a lot guys. Yall have some very nice pieces.
I carry my G23 OWB in the winter in a Gould & Goodrich 3-slot pancake holster and IWB in the summer in a Comp-Tac MTAC. Honorable mention and used occasionally are Mitch Rosen Upper Limit (OWB), Blackhawk Serpa (OWB), Crossbreed Supertuck (IWB), Milts Sparks Versa Max II (IWB), and Smart Carry (IWB). I have others but they stay at the back of the drawer.

Supertuck horse hide for IWB carry and FIST #7 in medium brown for OWB transport. I seem to carry more on a belt scabbard lately, which is opposite of my habits historically. Once on a blue moon I'll break out the Galco Miami Classic if taking a long road trip.

For my G23 I tried several different holsters for OWB carry and spent quite a bit of money on the search for the perfect holster. I was kind of surprised when I tried the $11 Glock Sport Combat Holster and liked it better than any other OWB CCW holster I owned. It holds the gun close to the body and is uber-thin. Worth a try for only $11.
Thanks guys. I plan on having both IWB and OWB.
I carry a Glock 27 in an off-the-shelf Bianchi Carry-Lok. It locks in audibly and securely, and rides high. I don't see why that wouldn't work for a 23 assuming Bianchi offers it. Don Hume makes some good holsters that are worth more than they charge for them.
I picked up a nice OWB holster for a G27 on a lark from flea bay recently. It's nice work and a good price. The leather is well boned and sewn, and the tanning and dyeing is wonderful. Great retention, too. All in all a superb value at $45 IMO. If I can put hands on my camera I'll take a pic. I intend to contact the maker to see if he'll whip one up in brown for my G23. That would be most excellent.

drink along with some classical south Indian cultural activities. We recommend you

People from different part of Britain come to Leicester to taste the best curry
along with some fantastic comedy shows. Please Visit
www.funhousecomedy.co.uk for the events update in Kayal and for tickets
to the shows.
The Times, on 4th November 2012, based on the reader's reviews and comments chooses
Kayal to be in the Top 20 restaurants in Britain. Kayal was topped the Top 10 Restaurants
in the Country by The Times in 2008 and readers verdict this time is 'This unpreprossessing
outfit near the station is unusual compared with most of the countless curry restaurants
in Leicester for its focus on the 'light' fragrant and remarkably moreish'. Applause
to the Kayal team for their hard work and dedication.
Kayal celebrates its 8th Christmas and every year we have a special and lavish Christmas
menu which forces the people to celebrate their Christmas meal at Kayal. Like every
year we are ready to celebrate the Christmas with our God's from October itself.
Our special menus are ready so visit the special Christmas section of this website
to reserve your table and for the menus.
The celebrity TV Chefs Simon King and Dave Myers visited Kayal 26th October 2011
on the Diwali day to learn 'How to cook a traditional South Indian Breakfast'. The
Hairy Bikers pulled up at Kayal Restaurant, in Granby Street, Leicester, on their
trademark motorbikes.
The restaurant chefs Ajith Nair and Rajesh Nair taught them how to make Idli and
Masala Dosa. Chief Executive Jaimon Thomas and his team loved playing host to the
show. He said 'I love vintage bikes – we have one in the restaurant – so we lined
up lots of my bikes outside for when they arrived and they really loved that. There
were lots of fans waiting for them too. They were arrived just after 8am and were
only supposed to stay until lunchtime, but stayed until 2:30 pm because they were
having such a nice time. They had tasted masala dosa many times, but had never made
it. The chefs shows them though, and they made one after another after another'.
The Hairy Bikers episode will be telecasted on 16th November 2011 at 4:00 pm on
BBC 2. Please click the link to watch the video.
Simon Calder- English travel writer – travel editor for the Independent say 'One
thing I love about Leicester is that it's now less than 70 minutes from London,
meaning I can visit the National space centre, eat the Kerala Backwater cuisine
at Kayal's and pay my respects to the father of travel, Thomas Cook, all in a fun
day out'.
The Funhouse Comedy Club boss, who is an unavoidable part of Leicester Comedy Festival
and presents an afternoon of comedy at the Splendour festival at Wollaton Park says
'My favourite restaurant is Kayal, the South Indian restaurant in Hockley. It is
outstanding. An original menu, wonderful service and lovely surroundings'.
Thousands of visitors descended on Leamington's pump room Gardens at the weekend
to sample cuisine from across the globe and Kayal grabbed the attention of all the
visitors to the Leamington food festival. Director Jaimon Thomas said' the event
was very good for us. During the Taste Trial we have had three to four hundred metre
queues outside the restaurant. The event's been fantastic. The response is phenomenal'.
Kayal head chef Rajesh Nair, performed a live cooking which educated the hundreds
about the freshness of South Indian cooking. He answered the questions raised by
the people regarding the South Indian dishes.
Jaimon Thomas, Cheief executive of Kayal, grabs the Food Hero of the Year 2008.
In the consecutive years Kayal grabs another prestigious award after winning the
best new comer award in 2007 by Metro. The award panel comments 'two main ingredients
infuse Jaimon Thoma's passion for the restaurant business. One is the desire to
bring authentic South Indian food to a region overrun with mediocre, anglicised
India restaurants. The other is to provide service using the principle laid out
in the Sanskrit phrase 'athidhi devo bhava': the guest is god.
Alision Curtis – food critic from Leicester Mercury- visits Kayal that's sets new
standards of dining. She says 'It is the blast off friendly and inviting atmosphere
that's hits you as you open the door to Kayal that tells you this is going to be
a good place in which to eat. In fact it's more than good – it's excellent. You
don't even have to taste your first mouthful of curry to know this. I have tried
hard to think if there were any negatives to this meal and it's a struggle. The
food was amazing , the atmosphere warm and the waiting staff exceptional'. Kayal
grabs another 5* review.
Kayal is awarded with Young Enterprise of the Year 2008 at the prestigious 'Ethnic
Minority Awards' function in Nottingham. Judges in this category praised Kayal for
their realistic and detailed planning and considerable steps towards creating a
sustainable business in a tough economic climate.
Kayal was praised as the Best New Comer of the Year 2008 by the Metro Food & drink
awards. The selection panel found out that 'the food is excellent and authentic
South Indian. The service is very friendly. The charges are reasonable and the portions
are sufficiently big. We can't agree more.

Hi, my tank has been running (again) for 6 months now. I am not good at aqua-scaping and really want advice/suggestions from anyone that has some to give. Thanks in advance.
Current Equipment:
2 MP Bio Wheel Filters
300 watt heater
48" shop light 6500k
Bubble disc
DIY sponge bottle filter
Current Plants:
Water Sprite
Amazon Sword & Unknown Sword
Corkscrew Vals (just received and have melted, hope they recover)
Red Tiger Lotus
Java Moss
ludwigia inclinata var. verticillata
Java Ferns (3 wendelov love & 2 regular, have them but not in tank yet)
No ferts
Current Inhabitants:
3 Bolivian Rams
4 Rosy Barbs (2 are long-finned m/f)
2 Otos
4 Fals julii Cory Catfish
2 Bristlenose Plecos
4 Silvertip Tetra's (2 orange/2 yellow)
2 Ghost Shrimp (was 6, being eaten by other inhabitants)
Current Decor:
Pool Filter Sand
Coconut Halves
Driftwood (2' and I really want to break/cut into 2-3 pieces)
DIY Rock Cave & Arch
Glass Votive
Rock Trail
2 inches of organic potting soil capped with 1.5 inches of pool filter sand
First, I really want to break/cut this huge piece of DW so I can utilize the dw and tank space more efficiently. Does anyone have suggestions how to do it without it being a "perfect cut" with a saw?
2 Attachment(s)
Well, since no one had any suggestions, I went with "cutting" it into 2 pieces and I am pleased with how it turned out. I took the coconut huts out except for one. I threw away 90% of the water sprite since it grows well in this tank.
Unfortunately, 55's are hard to scape. I know this because my tank is also a 55 and it took me a long time to come up with something presentable in my eyes. The problem is a lot of length and not a lot of depth, just difficult dimensions to work with. My advice to you is buy a variety of plants, use taller plants in the background and scale down as you move towards the front to give feeling of depth. Try different plants to find what looks good together and more importantly what you can grow successfully. As far as aquascaping goes, browse other people's tanks and try to analyze the ones you like the most. Emulate the good aspects until you develop your own style. Good luck!
IMO, you should get some taller background plants to hide the heater n intakes for the filters ..
maybe water sprites or larger swords plants

Thanks Mauricio
Come on folks lemme bring my new car home. Throw some offers out there!
Pls stop asking what my lowest price is...throw an offer out there. Much easier folks
Tuesday afternoon boring conf. call bump
Friday bump
Monday bump
Clean car, GL with sale.
I'm not hating, but it's not a Carat (I've had two). All Carats came standard with A/C, cruise, MFA, power windows, heated power mirrors, etc.
Again, GL with sale.
That a fact? Could have swore my old man had a carat back in the day with crank windows.
Though it did have a/c cause my fondest memories were it building up ice on the vents it was so cold.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Buy My Things!
Buy My 20th!
What She Order?
ლ(益ლ) Why you no buy my stuff!?
Thanks Arbi.
It is a Carat just has had all the options that were standard with a Carat deleted by the PO for some reason. Wiring's under the dash still for power windows, car comes with vac pump to wire up the power locks, heated seats have been replaced with Recaro's but switches on dash remain, AC was deleted, etc....
Not sure why the PO deleted all these things, but what can you do. I would make it a 100% Carat again but i'm going to purchase a different car i've had my eyes on for a long time instead.
Deposit taken
So let me get this right... the PO also deleted cruise control (under hood and on steering column), Multi Function Arm, Instrument panel, heated power mirrors, door speakers, changed all four door cards, console, etcetera...
Its not more plausible that he just put a Carat badge on the rear?
If you guys are that sure of it, post the VIN. Caveat Emptor!!
I owned this car one owner before the current owner. It is in fact a carat according to the vin. None of the options were deleted by me, but prior to me and prior to the guy I bought it from. The rear door cards noticeably looked like they had power window buttons on them at one point but cranks were installed instead. Not really a vw fan boy here so I don't know all of what was changed out. The cruise is definitely not functional as the wiring on the stalk is cut. A/c was also deleted and the car definitely had a climate control from a model without a/c in it as the icons for the vents didn't line up as to what flappers would open/close.
I used to have a 86 GLI 8V that was also listed as a Carat... These cars are 20+ years old. Do you know what can happen in that much time? Do you know how many different variations of models can be built for various markets? Like c'mon dude... you think this stuff is written in stone or something.
We should all end it right here . This is a for sale add not a discussion forum on what or what the carat does not have and what is a carat or not blah blah we explained it once and that's it no need to go further.
And the car is sold now it looks like so let's just end this done.

Former Football Association chairman Lord Triesman's defamation case triumph over allegations he made about Fifa corruption while giving evident to a parliamentary committee represents a victory for Parliament, Speaker John Bercow has said.
Lord Triesman told the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee that four Fifa executive committee members had been involved in "improper and unethical" behaviour in relation to England's 2018 World Cup bid.
One of the Fifa committee members, Thai FA chief Dato Worawi Makudi, attempted to sue Lord Triesman after he alleged that Mr Makudi wanted to be given the TV rights to a friendly between England and the Thai national team.
Mr Makudi's claim was based on the grounds that Lord Triesman had effectively repeated the allegations he made to the parliamentary committee in other forums while not protected by parliamentary privilege. Lord Triesman had simply referred to the evidence rather than repeating the allegations.
Mr Makudi's first attempt to sue was struck out in January last year, but in June the Court of Appeal granted leave for him to appeal this decision.
That appeal was last week quashed prompting Mr Bercow to hail the decision by Lord Justice Laws, sitting with Lord Justice Tomlinson and Lady Justice Rafferty as a victory "for the precious principle of parliamentary privilege".
Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee chairman John Whittingdale said the move marked a "significant re-establishment of the rights" of Parliament.
Raising a point of order in the Commons, the Tory MP said: "You may recall that in November last year I raised a point of order to express my concern that a Mr Dato Makudi had been given leave to take to the Court of Appeal his action for defamation relating to remarks made by Lord Triesman to the Football Association in which he merely referred to statements he had made to the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee about possible corruption in Fifa and those remarks were of course made under privilege.
"At that time I expressed my concern that this represented a significant threat to the privilege conferred on MPs and indeed witnesses appearing before select committees of this House and that it could have a severe effect in terms of preventing us exposing truth and giving witnesses the impression that they would not enjoy the protection of parliamentary privilege.
"You were sufficiently concerned to make a submission yourself to the Court of Appeal. As you may be aware the Court of Appeal has now reached a judgement in which it has clearly stated that Lord Triesman's remarks were covered by Article 9 of the Bill of Rights.
"I do believe that that is a significant re-establishment of the rights of this House and I was wondering whether you would like to make a statement in the light of that."
Mr Bercow replied: "I shared the very grave concern that you felt not merely or principally on behalf of Lord Triesman but on behalf of the House but a real threat to parliamentary privilege and therefore to Parliament was entailed.
"I did therefore, as I indicated to you was my intention, cause representations to be made to the Court of Appeal and I have to say to you that I am absolutely delighted, it was of course a matter for the court, that the court found as it did in favour of Lord Triesman.
"That was a victory not just for Lord Triesman but for the precious principle of parliamentary privilege and a victory for Parliament itself.
"It was a very important day and you are right to celebrate it and to give me the opportunity on behalf of the House to do the same."

The Wheeler's Wedding
"Sadly, this vendor was a big disappointment for us. My husband and I were both very excited about our choice to use this vendor after our tasting...the cakes are delicious. In fact, we both raved for months about the cake and were both really looking forward to our guests' reactions to it. Unfortunately, the rest of our experience went downhill fast. I had to e-mail her multiple times before Beth Anne even acknowledged that she had received my messages. Two days before our wedding, she was calling me asking for the final payment, not remembering that she had cashed a check for this payment weeks beforehand. On the day of our wedding, she was over an hour late from her "guaranteed" time to set up the cake. Multiple calls to her number went straight to voicemail, with a recording saying the mailbox was full...not something a bride needs to deal with moments before walking down the aisle! When she finally showed up, she was extremely rude to my family member who was appointed to check everything over. She ignored this person when they pointed out that there was strawberry juice from the filling oozing down the side of the cake. She made no attempts to fix it, and all of our pictures unfortunately show that line of red dripping down the tiers. Most disheartening of all, the cake looked nothing like it was supposed to. I had sent Beth Ann several pictures of what I wanted the cake to look like, and she assured me should could make ours look the same. In the end, the only similarity to my vision and what we received is that the cakes were at least square. All of that said, I will admit that the cake was still very good. Good enough to be worth all the headaches? No, but our guests did ooh and ahh over the flavors as much as we'd hoped when we booked this vendor."

|High throughput, min durability - tuning
|Tue, 16 May 2006 16:05:07 GMT
Hello, I'm posting several questions about Perf tuning. I'd be grateful if people can provide me with answers. I'm using Derby as an Embedded Database for a prototype application, where Derby is used to run queries on a small set of Rows, very frequently. Rows are inserted into the Tables at very high rates. The Queries are run on these new Rows and so they are hot, in the Cache. Once the Query is executed on those Rows, they can be discarded. In a sense, I want Derby to function as an in-memory DB, like Oracle TimesTen. I've tuned all the documented parameters like PageCacheSize, PageSize and Durability=test. Are there any other ways I can drastically reduce the Commits to the Disk and thereby eliminate Disk IO? Perhaps rewrite a key Class and add that to the "Pre-Classpath" so that the default behaviour can be over-ridden? Are there any other parameters (undocumented) to increase the scalability of the DB? In the Embedded mode, I see that Derby only creates 2 Threads - antigc and something else. Does this mean that if my application can scale well, Derby's scalability will also scale? The application works like this: Large number of Inserts, using a monotonically increasing Id, which is the Primary key and is indexed. Updates are practically absent. Once Inserted, they are used in a Select Query immediately. There's like, one such Table for each Producer-Consumer Thread pair. There will be several such Tables and Producer-Consumer Thread pairs. Contention is only between the 2 Threads for each Table. The rows will never be used again and so durability is NOT a requirement. Any Hacks or Tuning Tips would be appreciated, for the scenario described above. Thanks, Ashwin.

I don't do restaurant reviews very often, but for Wasabi Sushi, I feel I must.
The owner and sushi chef is Andy, a very likable and friendly guy. His wife Sarah waits tables. There are about 8 tables, the sushi bar seats about 8-10, and they've got a big screen TV tuned to the hottest sporting event.
But, on to the food.
First, the 911 Roll. I think you can see why.
Next up, the Ceviche Tostada.
Here we have an eel hand roll. Best I've ever had. Andy also makes a mean salmon skin roll.
Toro. Like butta.
Sawagani, little river crabs, quickly fried and served with a ponzu-soy sauce. Crunchy little bugs. Better than popcorn.
My husband had a live octopus one time. I've seen the video, and would post it, but you don't need to hear the drunken audio that accompanies it. So until I find a way to post video while killing the audio, you'll just have to imagine pieces of just-chopped octopus crawling around on a plate.
Aside from all the awesome sushi (OMG, try the white tuna!), they also have the typical teriyaki plate offerings, as well as an awesome clam miso soup, and an udon soup that looks delicious but that I have yet to try.

This article appeared in the August 2013 print edition of the Irish Marketing Journal
It's my belief that one of the greatest threats to the effectiveness and the credibility of the advertising industry in Ireland is the siloed thinking that continues to be purveyed by many of the large media agencies. Simply put, in today's data driven world where relevance is king, it is no longer in any clients' best interest to separate media planning from the rest of the creative process.
And despite plenty of lip service being paid by several agencies to the idea of being 'full service', today in Ireland ICAN is the only true full service integrated agency, with an in-house media planning & buying team.
The separation of media is a hangover from the analogue days when a mass, passive audience could be reached effectively with radio, press and TV but it is no longer relevant in a world that has been changed by digital technology. We all know that modern consumers interact with advertising and marketing messages on their own terms, in their own time and across multiple devices – as agencies we need to be able to get our clients' message in front of the right person in the right place at the right time.
At ICAN, we've always taken the view that media needs to be fully integrated with the other disciplines such as strategic planning, creative, search, technology & analytics – and for this to work best it needs to happen under one roof. Time and time again our clients have seen the benefit of this ethos as we harness the power of media and creative working together in the planning stages to tell compelling and relevant stories. And it doesn't stop at planning, because our media and creative teams work side-by-side we are agile enough to respond in almost real time to external factors, optimising and improving the campaign. One great example of this agility was when during a recent campaign for our client permanent tsb, we were able to quickly capitalise on some negative press coverage a competitor of theirs was getting over high account fees, by contextually targeting this coverage with permanent tsb ads promoting their no-fees current accounts. This would not have been possible if the creative and media functions were separated.
The good news is that the writing is on the wall for this type of siloed thinking. Clients, quite rightly, are demanding the performance and accountability that can only come from the integrated thinking provided by true full service agencies. Media houses are scrambling to acquire creative talent but after years of pursing such a separatist agenda it remains to be seeing how the market will react.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday November 5th, 2013 1:45am
Former NCAA All-Americans Kyle Harrison and Chazz Woodson dreamed up a program to promote academic, professional and social achievements for the next generation of lacrosse players and spread the game throughout different areas of the country.
On Friday, the idea came to fruition when a team of African-American all-stars — under the banner of Sankofa Lacrosse Alliance — visited Providence, R.I., for a day of scrimmages vs. Brown and Team England.
Harrison and Woodson, co-founders of the Ambassadors program that included the Sankofa squad, were pleased to see their work come together Friday.
"This is just the beginning of the type of programs that we want to be running with the Ambassadors as we have been working on this for three to four years," said Harrison. "We don't just want to have this program based just on having African-American players but people that fit into our mission statement of having the intent of using lacrosse as a catalyst for achievement among the underserved communities of the US."
They put together this team, which also featured former Virginia All-American Jon Christmas among others, to "honor the players that came in the past of African-American descent," said Harrison.
Each team played two 25 minute periods against each other in the scrimmages.
In the first game of the day against England, Sankofa pulled away with a 13-8 win, overcoming a 5-4 halftime deficit against the English squad that has been playing throughout New England for the last two weeks.
Brown is coming off a 2013 season that saw the Bears go a respectable 8-6 overall and a 2-4 mark in Ivy League play, as they look to join the upper echelon in the Ivy League during the 2014 spring season.
Brown showed great skill level and quick transition offense against Sankofa, outscoring them by a 13-3 margin. Junior Nick Piroli is coming off a 14-goal and seven-assist season in 2013, which ranked him fourth on the team in scoring. He dominated the Bears' attack by scoring three goals while working down low to get himself easy shots on the net.
Another Brown player to stand out on offense was sophomore attackman Kylor Bellistri, who scored only six goals and one assist in all 14 games last year. He stepped up his game on Friday, scoring two goals. Both of those goals came from about 15 yards out, where he was able to snipe the corners on the Sankofa squad.
The transition from the defense to the offense was solid as sophomore Calum McClelland provided excellent support for the Bears defense and helped pushed the ball to the offensive end at a quick pace to force the unsettled situations which Brown wants to run their offense at.
Senior FOGO Tommy Capone did an excellent job on draws, controlling the game and getting the ball back after scoring goals on the offensive. This helped lead to the Bears 8-1 lead after the first quarter against a very tired Sankofa squad.
Goalies Will Round (senior) and Jack Kelly (sophomore) were not tested heavily in the game against Sankofa. Kelly made some excellent saves in the second half and has a command of the defense while being an excellent presence between the pipes.

Delaware Supreme Court Chief Justice weighs in on shooting
"One of the most difficult days in the history of the Delaware Judiciary."
That's how Delaware Supreme Court Chief Justice Myron Steele describes Monday's shooting at the New Castle County Courthouse. In a lengthy statement, Steele calls Monday's shooting "nothing short of tragic."
He says while the reaction to the incident will be debated "across government offices of this state and beyond," his primary focus is making sure Delaware's courts are safe for both the public and employees. "I pray that none of us ever witness another day in our judicial branch like Monday."
Steele says going forward, the state's Judicial Branch will "continue to our efforts to balance security and access to justice." While the security procedures are being evaluated along with Monday's events, Steele says Capitol Police deserve credit for keeping the incident from getting worse.
"I believe the quick actions of the Capitol Police officers on Monday saved many lives and demonstrated their amazing courage and heroism. They kept what was a very tragic event from becoming catastrophic." He credits active shooter training performed at the courthouse with preparing the officers for such an event.
He says as state lawmakers consider the budget for the coming fiscal year, "We strongly support requests from the Capitol Police for resources to augment the services they provide to the courts and others."
The New Castle County Courthouse is scheduled to officially reopen for court business on Thursday.
You can read Steele's comments in their entirety on NewsWorks.org/Delaware.

Gaddafi's son appears in Libyan court for first time
By Ali Shuaib
TRIPOLI (Reuters) - Muammar Gaddafi's son Saif al-Islam appeared in a court on Thursday for the first time since his capture more than a year ago, Libya's public prosecutor's office said.
The son of the former Libyan leader was in court in the western town of Zintan, where he is being held by former rebels, to face charges related to a visit by an International Criminal Court (ICC) lawyer last year.
"He is charged with involvement with the ICC delegation which is accused of carrying papers and other things related to the security of the Libyan state," Taha Baara, spokesman for the prosecutor, told Reuters.
The ICC lawyer, Australian Melinda Taylor, was herself arrested and held for three weeks after the meeting and has since said her detention proved that Saif al-Islam could not receive a fair trial for war crimes and instead should be tried in The Hague.
Another ICC defense lawyer said the court hearing in Zintan - part of Libya where the Tripoli authorities have little sway - was designed to intimidate the international court.
"This is yet another disgraceful attempt by Libya to manipulate and intimidate the ICC," said Ben Emmerson, lawyer for Abdullah al-Senussi, Gadaffi's former spy chief and Saif al-Islam's co-accused.
"It is proof positive of the urgent and imperative need for the (U.N.) Security Council to impose sanctions on Libya for its flagrant, deliberate and grave violations of Security Council resolution 1970."
That resolution obliges Libya to cooperate with the court, lawyers say, and Tripoli's failure to hand over Saif al-Islam could result in it being reported to the Council. Continued...

I would like a logo that is equal text and symbol relevant. The branding of the company is going to be heavily based on a mask (think a black masquerade mask).

Jen Hofer and Maria Rivera Name Names in "Los Muertos"
Poet and translator Jen Hofer has been at work translating a poem into English by Mexico City poet Maria Rivera, reports SoCal Focus. The poem, called "Los Muertos," names those killed in Mexico's ongoing drug cartel violence–which we've written about here and here–and also works as an account of how the United States's drug consumption plays a part in the bloodshed. The poem was rejected for publication in Mexico many times over, suggesting to Rivera that she publish it here, that it might "find its way as a mojado south to Mexico." UCLA literature grad student Roman Lujan co-translated, with Hofer, and "read the first draft at the literary salon. He took the mostly English speaking crowd in the darkened room straight to Mexico City's Zocalo."
"This has to be a point of reflection of American society," Lujan told me sitting next to stacks of poetry books in his second story West Hollywood apartment, "hey this problem, we are part of the problem, the only way to stop this is to legalize drugs or we produce them here, so we don't have to import them or we fight together against the bad guys, whoever the bad guys are."
What was the process of finding the right English word? What was the back and forth translating Rivera's poem? I had to know more. Until I talked to Hofer and Lujan I'd thought of translation as the act of creating a work that stood parallel to the original, with the spirit of the original but freestanding as its own new work of literature. Hofer has translated many poems form Spanish to English, and doing so she always tries to make obvious the debt of the original.
"The langugage in this poem is extremely, extremely straightforward, and simple," Hofer said, "and I don't mean that in any way as a negative critique in fact it's very difficult to write, in my opinion, strong work using simple language."
Read the entire SoCal article, which includes a phone interview with Rivera, here. And watch a video of her reading the poem above. The full English translation can be found at Jacket2.

Kevin Pietersen had the chance to practise his Aussie Rules in Melbourne but he made little impression with the bat as a World XI led by Shaun Pollock beat a determined Victorian Bushrangers team by 12 runs in yesterday's practice match at St Kilda.
Pietersen fluffed his lines with the bat scoring just five runs in a total of 281 for eight - while Andrew Flintoff sat out the action, nursing a minor shoulder injury after being hit in the nets by team-mate Shoaib Akhtar on Saturday.
The hosts went close to pulling off an unlikely run chase thanks to a top score of 92 from the Australia A and Lancashire batsman Brad Hodge - but in the end they fell short on 269 for nine.
Hodge's innings included six fours and two sixes before he holed out to Brian Lara off Murali Muralitharan.
Earlier the World XI innings had rallied through the efforts of India's Rahul Dravid and Pollock. Dravid top-scored with 66, while Pollock hit an unbeaten 54 off 38 deliveries. Lara and Pietersen both went cheaply to disappoint the capacity crowd. The Trinidadian was brilliantly caught at square-leg by Michael Klinger off Shane Harwood for nine - and Pietersen skied a shot down the leg side to become a fourth victim for the same bowler.
Glenn McGrath wants to compensate his twist of fate by winning back the Ashes before he retires.
McGrath, 35, has had to come to terms with a 2-1 series defeat to England made particularly galling by the fact that he did not feature in either loss after turning his ankle on a stray cricket ball on the opening morning of the second Test at Edgbaston,
But he feels there will be a chance to rectify matters when Michael Vaughan's men defend the urn down under next winter in what could be a swansong in Test cricket for both himself and 36-year-old Shane Warne, who have 1,141 wickets between them.
"Shane and I have played pretty well together in the past and it would be great to get the Ashes back," said McGrath. "We are happy to let England hold on to them for 18 months but I definitely want to be there and I am sure Shane wants to be there, too."

Toccoa Extends Moratorium on Internet Sweepstakes Cafes
Toccoa City Commissioners sign off on extending a moratorium on Internet Sweepstakes Cafes within the city.
Monday, city commissioners unanimously approved an extension of the Internet Sweepstakes Cafes Moratorium Ordinance for another year.
City commissioners approved the initial moratorium back in August 2011.
Officials say the moratorium puts a hold on such establishments until state legislation is passed to contend with them.
The Georgia General Assembly has discussed the matter, but has not yet passed a bill.
According to the Georgia Municipal Association, which provided the model moratorium ordinance to the city originally, Internet Sweepstakes Cafes offer promotions or sweepstakes for the purchase of a service, often Internet time or phone cards.
The GMA said that these establishments are operating as a gambling business through a loophole in state law.

One hundred and nineteen years later
Five dark, chilly days into November and as many since theyd come and burned Feathers, Wesley woke abruptly in the middle of the night to find his deceased pet perched on the windowsill beside his bed, watching him.
He didnt need the bitter clutch of the icy air to tell him he wasnt dreaming. The clock had gone seventeen soft ticks past five-eleven in the morning and it was still dark in his tiny room, but the scene was as real as the nightmares that patrolled the streets and as stark as innocence lost.
Wesley hadnt been able to protect him.
No animals, one of the rough men in dark cloaks reminded harshly during the troops nightly search of the village. He grabbed Feathers and held him carelessly upside-down by one lean leg, the birds distressed squawks jarring in the horrified silence of the kitchen. Wesley opened his mouth to protest, but his mothers fingers dug into his shoulder.

More on Shark's Skin
A friend of mine sent this so these are not my words. What does everyone think?
I just talked to a guide buddy on the left coast that works in a circle of pretty heavy hitter, well known, some well published guides... they have all fished the sharkskin lines now for 70-80+ days and have come to similar conclusions (primarily 8-10 weight steelie and salmon fishing):
1. it initially shoots and floats very well
2. it doesn't hold up... under magnification they see what was described to me as the nubbins starting to be pulled back to create little flaps = lots of friction
3. it does groove the guides, one of their rods (a relatively new rod) has been sent back to Sage for a re-wrap for new guides...
4. the word they got from SA is that it didn't go through their standard product testing prior to market release (for $100 they can afford to replace a few until they get it right?)
5. they have all abandoned the product
Re: More on Shark's Skin
don't know if its true or not as I have never tried the stuff. but I either read on this or another forum that it tears up your fingers also?
Re: More on Shark's Skin
Hi Joni,
We have a member that uses the Shark's Skin but have no report back from him. That is not unusual for this time of the year. I don't remember who it was that said they had one.
I don't know that I can discount the line with a 3rd or 4th hand report. Those guys could be working for RIO.:) SA is a pretty good line maker and I just don't believe they would put out a line that wears out guides in less than 3 months of use. It may be true but I will wait for more reports before I make up my mind about the line. I did look on line for feed back about the SS line but nothing with long term use. I also didn't find any body that was bad mouthing the line but that may change with time.
Re: More on Shark's Skin
I hear what your saying Frank. I agree. I know for a fact the guy that wrote this does not work for any line manufacturer. The thing that peeked my interest was the #4.
Re: More on Shark's Skin
Personally, I haven't tried it yet so I can just pass on what a reliable source passed on to me.
Re: More on Shark's Skin
Although the magazine review was fairly complimentry of the SS, they still gave the award for best fly line to RIO for it's "Gold" line.
Re: More on Shark's Skin
I dont know if this is going to take off or not. I was reading their tech flyer
and it dosnt seem too friendly on you or your gear. I wonder how it fares in saltwater, as the satlwater dries it leaves salt crystals that could become abrasive. will it multiply the effects of the line?
Re: More on Shark's Skin
That is an interesting thought, I'm wondering also if the dimpled surface of the S/S line will collect dirt, or in your case salt.
I would think it is going to be a difficult line to clean.
But whudda I know, I'm not a design engineer. :tongue:
Re: More on Shark's Skin
I've been using the SS line up here a little bit, too cold to do much fishing right now though (Anyone know how to keep your guides from icing up?) It probably has about a week on the water so far, looking forward to seeing how it is after 100+ days out by the end up the salmon season.
It casts beautifully, and is very easy on the pickup. I haven't noticed it collecting anything more than my other lines, and doesn't hurt my fingers any more than a normal line either. I work with my hands a lot though so my fingers are fairly tough. As for wear on the guides we'll see what shows up . . .
Haven't tried it in salt yet, we'll see what happens when the salmon get here.

I cant speak highly enough about this book and Brandon Sanderson as an author. I'm reading 2 of his series - 'The Way of Kings - Stormlight Archive' and the Mistborn Series concurrently so I hope that's an indicator of how engrossing the authors worlds are.
