Section 5.7.3
Food and Beverage Functions
Food and beverage (F&B) functions can make a major contribution to the success of your meeting. In addition to breakfast, lunch and dinner, F&B functions can include theme events, receptions and cocktail parties, and refreshment breaks.
Work closely with the hotel to plan quality menus that fit your budget. If your meeting lasts two days or longer, be sure to offer a variety of foods. Each meal should be nutritionally balanced and colorful. Be health-conscious; avoid heavy sauces and keep lunch light. If possible, include regional specialties for a memorable touch.
Also, be aware of your attendees' backgrounds and needs. If they'll require special foods for dietary or religious reasons, you might want to include a space on the registration form for this information. Be sure to check the hotel catering staff of these requests well in advance and, when possible, let the waiter or captain know where the people with special requests are seated.
Refreshment breaks last from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the group, and take place in mid-morning and mid-afternoon between meeting sessions. Be sure to schedule enough time for people to leave and return to the meeting room, obtain and consume their refreshments, and visit the restrooms. Standard time is 15 minutes for small meetings; 20 to 30 minutes for larger ones. To create less of a distraction, try to schedule coffee breaks outside the meeting room.
Coffee (regular and decaffeinated), tea, soft drinks and mineral water are standard fare.
Functions that offer both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages as well as some type of snacks or hors d'oeuvres are often part of a meeting program. Select the plan that's most economical for your group. You might consider offering just beer and wine and/or "cocktails" (non-alcoholic cocktails). When hiring bartenders, figure on one for every 75-100 people (even one for every 50 people if many of your attendees are converging all at the same time).
Be aware of any local restrictions on alcoholic beverages. Also, recognize the liability that your organization undertakes as host should someone consume too much alcohol and become involved in an accident. Laws vary from state to state.
If dinner follows your cocktail reception, limit hors d'oeuvres to 6-8 pieces per person. Allow 10-12 pieces per person if your event is cocktails only. "Butlered" hors d'oeuvres (having waiters pass them on trays) is more economical than a buffet. With larger groups, however, you may want to have both buffet and butler service.
Facilities require that you submit a "guarantee" of the number of people at each meal function so they know how many places to set and how much food to prepare. Depending on the facility, the guarantee is usually required at least 48 hours in advance of your event. If you know your group will be smaller than you originally estimated, be sure to change your guarantee before the deadline or you'll be charged for the original number.
One thing to keep in mind when you submit your guarantee is that hotels generally set places for an additional 3% to 5% over your guaranteed meal number. So, if you guarantee 100 people for dinner, the hotel may set 105 place (5%). Consult your Convention Service Professional to determine the right numbers for your group and the hotel's over-set policy.

LUXEMBOURG – The European Union was set Monday to ease its oil embargo against Syria in favor of rebels fighting President Bashar Assad's regime in its latest signal of support to the opposition.
EU foreign ministers meeting in Luxembourg were set to formally adopt measures enabling EU companies on a case-by-case basis to import Syrian crude and export oil production technology and investment cash to areas in the hands of the opposition, EU diplomats said.
This first easing in two years of harsh sanctions against the Assad regime aims to help tilt the balance in the conflict. It comes on the heels of a U.S. pledge this weekend to double its financial assistance to Syria's opposition and expand nonoffensive military supplies to the rebels.
A draft of the text to be agreed on by the ministers says the EU "considers it necessary to introduce derogations" to its existing sanctions against Syria "with a view to helping the Syrian civilian population."
This would be aimed "in particular to meeting humanitarian concerns, restoring normal life, upholding basic services, reconstruction, and restoring normal economic activity."
Diplomats admitted the decision, possibly followed by the easing of other restrictive measures such as in the key financial sector, might be difficult and take time to implement. "But it will give a strong signal to Assad," one diplomat said on condition of anonymity.
Under the deal, firms seeking to import Syrian crude or invest in the energy sector would ask for authorization from their government, which in turn would confer with the opposition Syrian National Coalition to secure agreement.
The 27-nation bloc slapped a ban on investments in Syrian oil in September 2011, followed by a ban on imports of oil in December, depriving the regime of a major source of cash.
Exports of crude provided up to a third of its hard currency earnings, with the EU buying 95 percent of it.
While Washington again refused to arm the opposition at a Friends of Syria meeting in Istanbul, the divisive issue is expected to be raised once again at the EU talks.
The EU's current package of wide-reaching sanctions against Damascus, including an arms embargo, is due to expire in a matter of weeks, on May 31.
Britain and France have pushed hard to convince their 25 partners to lift the bloc's arms embargo to allow weapons shipments to the rebels.
But others, particularly the Scandinavian nations, remain staunchly opposed, fearing both that more arms will further inflame the conflict and that weapons ultimately could fall into the hands of radical Islamist groups.
Failing a unanimous agreement by the EU's 27 nations to extend the sanctions package, or an amended version of it, the sanctions will expire.
Led by Britain and France, the bloc recently eased the arms embargo to allow the supply of "nonlethal" equipment as well as "technical assistance" — which includes training — to the rebels.
Britain immediately pledged armored vehicles and protective clothing.
Diplomatic sources have said the embargo possibly could be amended again to allow the supply this time of "lethal" but "defensive" equipment.
In a key statement over the weekend, German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said Berlin will have no choice but to accept the lifting of an EU arms embargo on Syria if other European countries push for it.
Germany up to now has opposed providing military support to Syria's rebels.

November 27th (Evening) :
It seems that I've run out of things to say - I've started writing out paragraphs and then deleting them because I've already said the same thing earlier in the month, or even earlier in the week!
These past few weeks as winter has arrived here in Toronto, I've been down in general, and it's certainly showing itself in the search. New leads are rare and increasingly desperate. Those we find are quickly resolved by our team of contacts and volunters and we return to the "do nothing" state of waiting for the next bit of new information. Keeping Nicole's disappearance in the minds of the Syrians is proving difficult, which is why mom will be returning early next year, and without their continued efforts, we don't have much hope of finding out new information. With nothing to report in the blog, there is little feedback from readers and volunteers, which gives me less to report, and so on. I've finally started attacking the backlog of emails to look for missed or forgotten clues and that has me in the embarrassing position of responding to some people who wrote to us back in July!
On the weekend I was showing some old friends a video I have of Nicole and I sandboarding the sand dunes of Namibia back in 2001. Every time she comes on the screen, everyone goes quiet (or is that only in my mind?) and I have realized that that will be happening for the rest of my life unless Nicole is found. Three decades worth of photos and movies will be difficult to look at without a lump in the throat and people getting uncomfortable or sad. While this is true of any immediate family member who passes away, her youth and the never resolving "open wound" nature of her disappearance will haunt us for years. By so actively involving myself in the search, I've made not finding her that much more difficult to bear - a risk I was warned of early, and was more than willing to take.
And of course, I thought we'd find her.
November 22nd (Noon) :
I finally got an answer on Robert Fisk's mobile phone (Robert is the experienced UK reporter based in Beirut who we're hoping could offer insight and/or contacts), but it was a very confusing conversation. Making calls from Canada to the Middle East always seem to be that way, but normally I'm able to figure it all out. In this case, a woman answered and seemed very confused while speaking English with an accent (British?), but then every so often a male would speak with a British accent, seemingly unaware of the woman, and once in a while a dial tone would sound but the call wouldn't be disconnected. It was like I was connecting to two different phone lines and alternating between the man and woman. The woman didn't understand that I was calling from Canada - seemed unaware what "Canada" was - and insisted I had the wrong number before hanging up. We were reaching to think he might be able to help, but it would have been nice to get a hold of him. I don't believe he receives any correspondence sent via The Independent (his (former?) employer) or email, unfortunately.
It's been a slow week. The RCMP are busy with other cases, we've sent some things to the Syrian government but haven't heard back, and it's just a dark and gloomy time of year, which doesn't help moods any. Nicole's birthday is coming up (December 6th) and the family isn't looking forward to that. Christmas will also be difficult. Every few weeks I've been having dreams where we find Nicole, and they've been getting increasingly skeptical (I dream "am I just dreaming?"), but last night I dreamt that we found her killer instead. Seven and a half months is a long time to be missing.
November 19th (Evening) :
One of the side effects of making my email so public is the vast number of junk emails I now receive. The new Hotmail (which, might I add, I despise) does a relatively good job of separating them out and putting them right into to my junk folder, so I don't normally check to see if I'm missing anything relevant (I get 300+ junk emails a week).
Fortunately, I decided to check a few days ago as I found an interview request from Wired.com. I'm not sure if it will go anywhere (the MSNBC.com interview never appeared) but I'm hopeful - the blogging angle helps attract media attention from the tech-savvy.
More importantly - what other emails have I missed? That's what is worrying me a bit now. It doesn't feel like I've missed out on anything, but how would I know? And I hesitate to ask people to contact me if they were expecting but didn't receive a reply, because I'm often just not able to respond to everyone that deserves a response.
Thus, if you happened to email me with a particularly important piece of information (such as, "I found Nicole") and I didn't respond, please try again - I'll do a better job of reviewing the junk mail folder.
I've finally got my act together and scanned in the Arabic version of the Riad Hotel guest list. At this point, I don't think it's likely that we'll get much more out of contacting Riad Hotel guests, so I'm not going to post it publicly, but if you're interested, let me know and I can forward you a copy.
November 16th (Noon) :
Another quick update - despite what I indicated on the 14th, it turns one of our contacts in Syria, as well as the police, *have* spoken with the former owners of the Internet Cafe. They don't remember her, and there's apparently nothing too suspicious about their reasons for shutting down/selling the business. Kind of what I expected, but I can't afford to ignore any possible leads.
November 15th (Evening) :
A quick update on the news from yesterday. I received the link to the actual article as well as a link to a second article on the subject (link worked late yesterday, not so much today). Thank you to everyone who sent the information as well as translations. Out of curiousity, if our various Arabic-speaking readers could view the comments on these articles and see if there's anything relevant, it would be appreciated.
Fortunately, Foreign Affairs officials as well as Syrian police have directly confirmed no link between this person and Nicole's disappearance. In fact, they cast doubt on the accused being charged with murder at all! Not sure what to think about that.
We're planning a return trip to Syria for my mother and Gary, though nothing is definite yet. We've had plans in the past but have changed them for various reasons, but we will get back there soon. A few interesting but vague leads have come up so I'll see if they lead anywhere before detailing them more fully.
November 14th (evening) :
Some disturbing news from Syria today.
On the Arabic-only portion of the www.syria-news.com site, there is an article about the arrest this week in Hama region of a violent criminal wanted for 2-3 dozen crimes including murder, theft and drugs. Looks like he's been on the run, but they found him and he had lots of weapons. Named M. Serhan F., we're making inquiries as to whether he could possibly be related to Nicole disappearing. If someone could provide a direct link to the Arabic version, that would be greatly appreciated. The Arabic text is in the recent comments of the blog. Thank you to the anonymous source who pointed out the link - that's extremely helpful.
With regards to the disappearing owners of the Internet Cafe Nicole was using, their names, according to the pamphlet found among Nicole's belongings, are Imad & Jehad Al-najjar. Likely just innocents who happen to have shut down their business at a coincidental time, but we still would like to reach them and see if they remember Nicole or anything else of interest in late March.
As usual, I suspect I will be distracted from following up on other items while this recent lead plays out, but there hasn't been a lot of leads to follow these days so it shouldn't make too much of a difference!
November 10th (Noon) :
It's been a hectic week for non-Nicole reasons, so I haven't had a chance to update, and I'm about to head out to the in-laws for the weekend so I need to make this quick.
Two conflicting points of view have come up recently, which points out the continuing difficulty in the search (though I suspect this sort of thing applies to any search). One the one hand, a contact suggested that if anyone knew something, we'd have found out because between the reward and fear of being found out by the police(if the police know you knew but didn't say anything, tha'ts not so good), they wouldn't want to risk the trouble. Even if it's a cover-up of some sort, the police just aren't paid enough to keep quiet (though I suspect there could be difficulties in claiming the reward if you've just turned in your superior officer!)
On the other hand, it's been suggested that no one would try and claim the reward because they know they wouldn't get it. The police or some government intermediary would claim it for themselves before we could give it to any random Syrian. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of ways around that. And in counter to that, our understanding is that everyone in Syria knows that if they help the government solve this case, they will be rewarded via promotion or whatever. That's what we're really hoping to use as a motivator, with the $1,000,000 Syrian Pounds acting as advertising (though we'd be delighted to give it out if someone brings us Nicole).
If we assume that someone would talk if they knew anything, and no one has talked, that leaves us with an incident that was known to very few people and well-hushed up. A contact has suggested that while still keeping it quiet, the shame of such an incident may force the family of those involved to resolve the issue themselves, either through exile or worse.
Thus, an area we should continue to concentrate on is people who left the area soon after either March 31st when Nicole disappeared, or early May when we kick-started the police investigation in Syria.
That once again brings us back to the Internet Cafe that closed shop and disappeared in mid-April, as well as the Cairo Hotel staff member who last saw Nicole and no longer works there (though he's been interviewed repeatedly, so it seems unlikely).
Is it possible that Nicole had something she really wanted to say to Gary, and when she wasn't able to access her Hotmail account on the Friday, she decided to quickly stop off and check it again Saturday morning before heading out, and something happened? The Cafe is below street level in a partially enclosed little square that's not easily visible from the street and not well lit. Did something happen there? How do we find out?
November 6th (Noon) :
[Text removed by Matt due to politically contentious topic]
We've heard back from Arthur Thiry via his school - he says he never met Nicole. I'm not sure if this means he is the person we are looking for and just didn't meet her, or whether he has never been to Syria. Unfortunately, the link to Arthur has just left on vacation so it could be some weeks before we find out.
I've been given Robert Fisk's mobile phone number, so I'm attempting to reach him. I'm not sure how successfull I'll be, so we have a back-up plan of mailing the Independent with an actual letter.
Another report came back from some travel guides in Syria and they say that people definitely know Nicole is still missing, and that the police are continuing to look for her. This is good to hear and helps counterbalance the reports that the police think she's already been found.
November 3rd (Noon) :
The search for Robert Fisk continues, but it's looking positive. The power of the Internet has certainly been revealed as a variety of different linkages between Robert and blog readers make themselves apparent. Friends of friends, former colleagues, and people offering to mail his employer directly from the UK (he doesn't accept emails via the International, but does read direct post) are all gratefully received. Hopefully we'll connect soon - I'm letting the leads play out in order of likelihood, with a preference for him contacting me rather than the other way around (less likely to be ignored/dismissed that way).
Speaking of media, I wanted to comment on how fantastic the various members of the media have been over the past six months. As opposed to the standard image of the media as heartless and only interested in the story, I consistently find them to be respectful and caring as try to work with us to get our story out. This may be related to my recently passed father being a relatively prominent media figure, but I don't think that's likely. Even now, when the story is cold, I continue to be contacted by some of the reporters informally as they read the blog and see opportunities where they can help.
Speaking of blogs, the search for Nicole was posted on Joshua Landis' Syria blog. Over the past several months a variety of people have mentioned his blog as something many people with interest in Syria read, so perhaps this will dig up some new ideas. I would have contacted Joshua earlier, but back in May when I first checked it out, the blog seemed more political than general interest. Further review has shown that not to be the case. As with all high publicity blogs, the comments can range from abusive and politically charged to helpfully intelligent. As an experienced blogger, the non-helpful ones are mostly amusing.
On a disturbing note, another rumour reached me that people in Syria think Nicole has been found. This has to do with the rumours we followed up on late in the summer where her body was reported to be in the well in Shmemnis. The Syrian police sent divers into the well and reported back via Interpol (and unofficially) that nothing was found. There was a man arrested for murder nearby, but no one knows how people have linked that to Nicole.
It's frustrating as the source of the rumour is someone I would have thought to be well-informed, and his source was supposedly within the police. This not only raises doubts again about whether the rumours are based in fact, it also suggests that we may need another media campaign inside Syria to remind people that she's still missing. It would be agonizing if even the police think she's been found and have been ignoring clues. It's also not so good if the government or police are purposely trying to promote the rumour in order to make the problem go away, though we have no evidence of that so far.

Based on Pinot Noir, it gives rich berry aromas alongside brioche, quince, and pears.

No Sanskrit name is known for the quince, whence it may be inferred that its area did not extend towards the centre of Asia.

It is stated that the word marmalade is derived from marmelo, the Portuguese name for quince.
Fruit, a little turbinate, or top-shaped, somewhat resembling a quince.

The plant is native to Persia, Anatolia, and Greece; the Greeks imported grafts for their native plants from a superior strain in Crete, hence the name. Kodu- also was the Lydian name for the fruit. Italian cotogno, German Quitte, etc. all are ultimately from the Greek word.

If you go: Please tell them you saw this event on
Venue Description: In 1986, a coalition of artists and community members led by Mark di Suvero decided to retake an abandoned riverside landfill that was being used as an illegal dumpsite and make it into an open space for art and artists. Since then, Socrates Sculpture Park has become an internationally renowned outdoor museum. It is today the only spot in the New York metropolitan area specifically designed to allow artists the opportunity create and showcase large-scale work in an environment that encourages interaction between artists, artworks, and the public.
Since 2006, the park has been expanding its Community Works Initiative program, which offers employment and job training to area residents, including those of the nearby Astoria projects. Participants learn landscaping and basic horticulture skills as they tend the park gardens. At the end of the program, all participants have new marketable skills and knowledge of the resources and cultural events that the park has available for the community and visitors. Among the events and activities that the park offers are kite flights, fitness programs, workshops, the LIC Bike Parade, Summer Solstice, Makers Market, outdoor cinema, an annual Earth Day event, and the Halloween Harvest Festival. In July and August, there are free summer outdoor art-making workshops with a variety of topics.

MyoStim Wound Healing and Regeneration Accelerator (MWHA-1)
Designed treating wounds secondary to peripheral limb ischemia, foot ulcers and other slow healing wounds. Electrodes are placed near the affected area, and on the blood supply routes to the affected area, and stimulation is administered over a course of physician directed treatment. An example of a treatment protocol is one (1) hour sessions for twenty-one (21) days. Our clinical study end point goals are to improve:
• Blood flow by a minimum of 30%
• Foot ulcers healing by 70%.
• Epidermal wound healing by 55%.
• Dermal healing by 22%.
This electrical stimulation therapy can be used alone or in conjunction with injections of adipose derived stem cells (Bioheart) or other angiogenic cells. It is believed that the combination of electrical stimulation and stem cell injections/infusions will be superior to either as stand alone therapies (subject to confirmation in well controlled clinical trials).
Low-intensity Electrical Stimulation in Wound Healing: Review of the Efficacy of Externally Applied Currents Resembling the Current of Injury - Click Here
Proposed Mechanisms of Action
1. Recruits stem cells from bone marrow, fat, muscle and circulating blood to wound site by stimulating the over expression of the stem cell homing signal protein SDF-1.
2. Multiples recruited stem cells to greater quantities at wound site.
3. Increases blood flow at wound site 3X (from recruiting endothelial progenitor cells and increased expression of VEGF).
4. Decreases pain at wound sites.
5. Decrease edema.
6. Debrides necrotic tissue.
7. Attracts neutophils and macrophages.
8. Stimulates receptor sites for growth factors and growth factor expression.
9. Stimulates growth of fibroblasts and granulation tissue.
10. Stimulates neurite growth.
11. Induces epidermal cell migration.
12. Induces repair myoblast cell migration.
13. Prevents post-ischemic oxygen radical mediated damage.
14. Inhibits bacteria.
15. Reduces number of mast cells.
By-pass grafting, stenting, air cuff techniques and other current treatments are ineffective in treating lower limb ischemia and diabetic foot ulcers.
Electrical stimulation is able to cause the release of proteins and the recruitment and differentiation of stem cells that improve blood flow by over 300% and wound healing by 70% over any other known therapy.
MyoStim Pacers holds exclusive rights to three pioneering patents in the field of electrical stimulation that describe with landmark claims the ability to greatly improve blood flow and to heal injured tissues.
The patented Myostim electrical signaling causes sustained over expression of VEGF mRNAs and SDF-1 and recruits endothelial progenitor cells. VEGF mRNAs stimulate angiogensis, the growth of new sprouting collateral blood vessels. SDF-1 stimulates arteriogeneis creating large more mature new arteries with true endothelium linings. Electrical stimulation additionally recruits stem cells and endothelial progenitor cells from bone marrow, fat tissue and circulating blood to participate in building new blood vessels and wound healing. A reverse of polarity and drop of voltage of the electrical signal stimulates differentiation of these recruited cells into blood vessels and tissues required for healing.

Watch 22 Jump Street Online Free Full Movie Streaming HD Download Full Length, 22 Jump Street – After making their way through high school (twice), big changes are in store for officers Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) when they go deep undercover at a local college. But when Jenko meets a kindred spirit on the football team, and Schmidt infiltrates the bohemian art major scene, they begin to question their partnership. Now they don't have to just crack the case – they have to figure out if they can have a mature relationship. If these two overgrown adolescents can grow from freshmen into real men, college might be the best thing that ever happened to them.
The Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill mate parody hit 22 Jump Street is continuously re-discharged by Sony on October 24, in a circulation and advertising move that is somewhat odd, given that the film is presently at $191m locally and $137.4m globally. Typically this is carried out to achieve a film industry benchmark, however given that its as of now at $328.4m overall and is unrealistic to make an alternate $9m locally, it has us scratching our heads. The DVD turns out on October 28th so why would you re-discharge it into theaters four prior days?
As indicated by one Sony executive, "It's basically a special run, a chance for groups of onlookers to see the No. 1 comic drama of the year on the wide screen before its home stimulation dispatch. Not attempting to hit any point of reference as such. Continuously useful for gatherings of people to appreciate together before home diversion breaks in." Okaaay. I still don't get it. Holding up to perceive what number of theaters they will get, most likely the dollar ones right now. They hope to have it in 400 theaters.
The film will bow in a weekend that likewise will offer the Keanu Reeves actioner, John Wick, the Universal ghastliness film Ouija and the extension of the eminently coordinated and composed film from Ted Melfi and TWC, St. Vincent (Bill Murray, Melissa Mccarthy and Naomi Watts).
So we should return to the monetary allowance on 22 Jump Street as possibly they are attempting to crush out some cheerful terrible from their mid year discharge? I don't get it. That is to say, this picture dispatched on June 13 (June 12 in the event that you check late nights) and with a $57m opening turned into the second-most astounding opening for a R-appraised film in history behind Hangover II ($85.9m).
Sony said the financial backing was $50m, nonetheless, that wasn't precisely precise. We checked and the introductory plan was north of $80m before they got a $16m to $17m generation impetus from shooting in Louisiana and Puerto Rico, its funding wound up — so we should say around $65m+. Include that same generally $65m for showcasing and dispersion costs here and abroad and afterward you must figure in investments between stars Hill and Tatum and in addition the producers. It had a higher plan than the initially, yet it likewise had a higher take in the cinema world by a long shot. Actually, it did what a continuation should do — open greater than the first portion. Abroad, its rollout begun before the World Cup in the UK and still had an enormous opening there.

|global warming
An increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere, especially a sustained increase great enough to cause changes in the global climate. The Earth has experienced numerous episodes of global warming through its history, and currently appears to be undergoing such warming. The present warming is generally attributed to an increase in the greenhouse effect , brought about by increased levels of greenhouse gases, largely due to the effects of human industry and agriculture. Expected long-term effects of current global warming are rising sea levels, flooding, melting of polar ice caps and glaciers, fluctuations in temperature and precipitation, more frequent and stronger El Niños and La Niñas, drought, heat waves, and forest fires.

The winners of the 2012 Critics' Awards for Theatre in Scotland (CATS) were announced at a sold out Tron Theatre in Glasgow on Sunday, June 10. Guest star Alan Cumming (in Scotland rehearsing his one-man Macbeth ahead of performances in Glasgow and New York) assisted MC Joyce McMillan (theatre critic of The Scotsman) and her colleagues in presenting this year's 11 prizes.
In addition to the CATS' regular 10 awards, the 2012 ceremony saw a special prize for an outstanding contribution to Scottish theatre, the CATS Whiskers award, given to producer David MacLennan and his hugely successful Glasgow lunchtime theatre A Play, a Pie and a Pint (which recently staged its 250th production).
The National Theatre of Scotland topped the winners' table, with three awards; two (Best Ensemble and Best Production) for A Christmas Carol and one (Best Technical) for the path breaking online theatre experiment Five-Minute Theatre. There was success, too, for Dundee Rep (which took two awards for its production of Zinnie Harris's play Further than the Furthest Thing) and the Citizens Theatre, Glasgow (which won Best Director for its production of Pinter's Betrayal, and Best Music and Sound for King Lear).
The ceremony was held in the midst of a growing controversy over the recent funding policy announcements by Creative Scotland (the 'arms length' governmental body which has replaced the Scottish Arts Council and Scottish Screen). During the ceremony, a number of practitioners and critics voiced their strong opposition to Creative Scotland's stance; which is widely seen not only as promoting competition between artists, at the expense of artistic freedom and excellence, but also as emphasising Creative Scotland's own power to set the artistic agenda.
Speaking to The Scotsman newspaper after the ceremony, Alan Cumming said of the relationship between Creative Scotland and artists: "people are feeling completely uninvolved, excluded and bemused... These are artists, not business models, but some people feel they are being treated like that. I think we've only seen the tip of the iceberg at the moment, there will be a lot of pissed off people out there."
In spite of the Creative Scotland controversy, the 2012 CATS Awards ceremony was indisputably a highly successful celebration of the best in Scottish theatre.
The CATS judging panel for 2012 comprised: Mary Brennan (The Herald), Mark Brown (The Sunday Herald and the Daily Telegraph), Anna Burnside (The Independent), Neil Cooper (The Herald), Michael Cox (acrossthearts.co.uk), Robert Dawson Scott (The Times), Thom Dibdin (The Stage), Mark Fisher (The Guardian), Joyce McMillan (The Scotsman), Allan Radcliffe (The List), Gareth K Vile (The Skinny) and Joy Watters (acrossthearts.co.uk).
For full details of the winners and shortlists for the 2012 awards, visit the CATS website: www.criticsawards.theatrescotland.com

Breast Milk Expiration
I am quite curious on this for quite some time now. Most working mums who have babies just pump up their milk and leave it for the baby to feed on later. I'm just curious as to how long would the breast milk last if it's left in room temperature? How about when you freeze it in the freezer, would it still be safe to feed it to your baby? And for how long can it be frozen and still be fed? Thanks girls! Any thoughts on this would be great!

Paris (ESA) Jan 31, 2014
Following last week's wake-up of the Rosetta comet-chaser, ESA's flight controllers have conducted the first in a series of health checks aimed at assessing how well it came through 31 months of hibernation.
After its long deep-space hibernation, Europe's Rosetta spacecraft woke up on 20 January to begin the final leg of its 10-year journey to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
Its first signal was received at 18:18 GMT (19:18 CET) at ESA's control centre in Darmstadt, Germany. Receipt confirmed that Rosetta had exited hibernation, warmed up and - as planned - switched itself into 'safe mode', a basic level of functionality, transmitting a simple radio tone via its S-band transmitter and waiting for instructions from Earth.
Within several hours, the Flight Control Team had established full control, switching on the more powerful X-band transmitter. This allowed high-rate housekeeping information to provide a detailed look at the health and status of crucial propulsion, attitude-keeping and power systems, among many others.
"We were most concerned about power, and seeing if the solar arrays were generating sufficient electricity to support the planned recommissioning activities," says Andrea Accomazzo, Spacecraft Operations Manager.
"But even though we were still 673 million km from the Sun, we were getting enough power and the arrays appear to have come through hibernation with no degradation."
Back online
Reactivation of three of the four reaction wheels - spinning gyroscopes used to control attitude - went flawlessly. The fourth wheel should be reactivated in the coming weeks.
"We are now back online with a fully functional spacecraft," reports Andrea.
The next few weeks will be dedicated to testing and configuring onboard flight systems, including the solid-state mass memory, used to store science and operations data prior to download.
Catching Rosetta's wake-up signal using one of NASA's 70 m-diameter dishes was not without challenges.
Even after 31 months of no contact, however, the team at ESOC could predict the spacecraft's location in the sky to within just 2000 km at a distance of 807 million km - equivalent to a tiny fraction the size of a full Moon.
"We're now recording tracking station data and in a few days will be able to conduct the first full orbit determination since wake up," says Frank Dreger, Head of Flight Dynamics at ESOC.
Science instrument commissioning
In March, Rosetta's lander, Philae, will also be switched on for the first time since hibernation. It, too, will be recommissioned to confirm its control systems and 10 instruments are working.
"Over the next three months we will be making sure that each instrument is ready to perform once we finally arrive at the comet, after 10 years journeying through the Solar System," says Fred Jansen, Rosetta Mission Manager.
Matt Taylor, Rosetta Project Scientist, adds: "Rosetta is equipped with a range of experiments that will tell us everything about the characteristics of this comet and how its behaviour changes as we get closer to the Sun, ultimately giving us a better picture of the role comets have played in our Solar System's evolution."

Ipsec problems? I'm using it to connect my office to two clients' offices
running openswan at the other end. Works like a charm. If I could only
convince the rest of my clients to use different network schemes (everybody
seems to want to use 192.168.0 and 192.168.1/24), I could be connected to
everybody all the time.

The attributes you are saying you require aren't in 1.11 and never will be.
They where added later in 1.2b7 indeed....
As the Radius RFC's states only Nas-Ip || Nas-Identifier are required
fields. (you can use both of them in a request or only one of them)
If you want to use Captive Portal with Radius authentication working you CAN
use 1.2b10. It seems to be 'very stable'. At least if you only use Captive
Portal and radius... There are some caveats with Openvpn and Ipsec with it
but as long you aren't using that you can use this one.
Or you can wait until 1.2 comes out (it shouldn't be a long time anymore, I
1.3b will have a complete rewritten radius authentication code to support
things users have been asking for (multiple radius server support with
failover, round-robin etc..., Radius url-redirection etc.)

CHANEL IRRÉELE BLUSH Silky Cheek Color in Mystery
I'm very familiar with the CHANEL family of fragrances, but unbelievably, until now, I had never tried any of the cosmetics – I had always admired them from afar – the classy packaging and beautiful counter displays…Well, better late than never! I tried the Irreelle blush in Mystery, and it went on like a perfect sun kissed bronze. Mystery is such a beautiful complex color, it's almost like a custom blend of blush and bronzer- bronze with a tinge of red. This blush is beautiful in the package -- rosy, pinky, bronzy and glittery. This could very well be THE nicest blush I've every used. The texture and feel of the blush on my skin was like the finest silk. Mystery is a rosy bronze color on my skin (I get a bit more brown than pink) and absolutely gorgeous! It goes on light and is easily buildable while the color stays natural looking. Just gorgeous! It is not glittery on the cheek. This will work best up to about a Kerry Washington complexion. If you are darker, it will make a nice highlighter on the top of the cheekbones. I felt this was great for me when I wanted definition without a lot of pink or red color. Plus it's just so beautiful in its container! I have officially succumbed to the world of Chanel Beaute!
Rich in antioxidants, this formula features Vitamin C wrapped around a core of Vitamin E. Protect lips from the sun and wind. Soothe and soften lips while imparting delicate color and glossy shine.Tags: moisturizers, skin care, concealers, makeup artistry, beauty products, color cosmetics, new colors, summer, make overAdded 6 Years Ago from Paintedearthskincare

I am admittedly a sucker for Chanel cosmetics, but I have mostly used the lip products, so when I had the opportunity to try one of their Irreelle blushes I was ecstatic! This is exactly what I would have thought a Chanel blush would be- a pinky-red blush with a bit of shimmer that will actually work with many different skin tones. On my skin it looked like a healthy flush of color -- a lovely "lit from within" effect. This is a pink, but it is amazing. Not a true pink -- almost a purply pink. But don't worry! It is gorgeous and the shimmer is very subtle and flattering and adds a nice bit of dimension to the product. It looks great with all types of eye looks (dark smoky, grey smoky I even tried it with a dramatic navy smoky eye at night and it was amazing! The staying power is fantastic as well. This is a little gem of a product. This will work best up to about a Gabrielle Union shade. A luxury that is worth every penny! P.S. This also an amazing shower gift for your beauty loving girlfriends! I recently provided several of these for my good friend's wedding shower and you should have seen how they swoonedTags: french, beauty, makeup, luxury, blush, love this, Chanel, French Cosmetics, Luxury CosmeticsAdded 11 Years Ago from Fragrancex

NVIDIA CEO: "We're Going to Open a Can of Whoop Ass"

NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang lets everyone know his company is spending nearly a billion dollars each year ready to take on Intel's graphics offerings
Any notion that Intel and NVIDIA have common ground in the graphics industry can now be easily dismissed
NVIDIA's already candid CEO Jen-Hsun Huang had more than a few things to say during the company's financial analyst meeting today. An hour into the call Huang began to ad lib; clearly something was on his mind.
"We're going to open a can of whoop ass," he told analysts, who quickly broke out into laughter.
For the past two weeks Intel and NVIDIA have been playing a game of cloak and dagger with technology press, complete with secret slide shows and secret slide show rebuttals. At the heart of this covert battle is the integrated graphics market, and some of the claims attached to it.
Intel senior vice president Pat Gelsinger fired the first volley at the Intel Developer Forum last week in Shanghai. "First, graphics that we have all come to know and love today, I have news for you. It's coming to an end. Our multi-decade old 3D graphics rendering architecture that's based on a rasterization approach is no longer scalable and suitable for the demands of the future," he said.
Gelsinger's bold statement was an introduction to Intel's upcoming
graphics architecture, but it was enough to put NVIDIA on full alert.
Intel's first attempt at a discrete graphics processor in nearly a decade
, with first samples expected to ship and stay competitive with NVIDIA and AMD graphic processors.
Intel slide decks presented to media argue that spending money on CPUs and more CPU cores makes more sense than spending money on GPUs. Intel presentations go on to detail that its integrated graphics will still satisfy consumers for years, adding that its upcoming
architecture will come in variants that integrate GMA 4500 (G45) graphics directly onto the CPU package.
NVIDIA's slide shows almost completely ignore Intel's
, and focus on IGP claims. One of Intel's slide decks states GMA 3100 (G33) is more than enough to watch high definition videos. NVIDIA counters by
citing my previous publication
"While the video capabilities of the [GMA 3100] will suffice for running Vista Aero, just about any office application, and a wide variety of non-3D based games, it is not up to the task of running the latest games, decoding 1080P HD content, or even providing decent video capabilities for a media station,"
's Gary Key writes.
Huang argues that not only are Intel's integrated offerings "a joke," but that even if Intel manages increase graphics performance by ten times by 2010, that's barely up to par with current NVIDIA offerings. He claims what passes for average graphics outside of the tech enthusiast crowd should be consider abysmal in the visual computing world.
Throughout the bulk of the conference call, Huang continued to lament Intel for poor graphics performance. He hints at another Intel slide deck that claims Intel GMA 3100 is Windows Vista Premium compatible -- a claim which was
debunked by Microsoft employees in a recent lawsuit
Intel fired back minutes later, sending emails to analysts detailing NVIDIA's poor track record when it comes to
Vista crashes due to incomplete drivers
. Almost on cue, Huang responded once again.
"NVIDIA has to support several new titles every week," he said, alleging that Intel's graphics just have to support the basic office packages. "You already have the right machine to run Excel. You bought it four years ago," he said.
The statement clearly struck a nerve with Huang, who paused for a second before adding "How much faster can you render the blue screen of death?"
"Nowadays you can buy a CPU cheaper than the CPU fan." -- Unnamed AMD executive

Re Christopher Smart's article "SLC to cyclists: We will ticket you for road violations" (Tribune, July 17):
It is about time something is done. There are some bicyclists who ride on downtown sidewalks and crosswalks and demand that pedestrians get out of their way. They are rude and they are dangerous.
For more than a year, I asked that the city and the police department look at this issue but still there was no enforcement.
My husband and I, along with our dog, walk twice a day all over downtown. That's the blessing of living downtown. We can go everywhere: to the grocery store, clinic, mall, pharmacy and farmers market, for example. But the pleasure of walking can turn nasty. Heedless bicyclists and the terrible condition of the sidewalks are hazardous to pedestrians.
However, Mayor Ralph Becker seems more concerned about building a new theater downtown than in taking care of the sidewalks.
As for the bicyclists, I understand the concept of going green, of promoting biking over motorized transportation. But bicyclists should be held as accountable as drivers for not respecting road laws and pedestrians.

Gatesville hadn't won a playoff game since 2001. It hadn't gone undefeated in the regular season since it won the Class 3A state championship in 2000.
Both of those streaks are broken.
The Hornets defeated Alvarado 48-28 Nov. 16 to collect the school's first playoff victory since 2001, when it defeated Taylor 21-7.
In order to do that, the Hornets scored 20 straight points to end the game and recovered two onside kicks in the fourth quarter, including one it returned for a touchdown.
Seemingly. Gatesville (11-0) can do no wrong.
That karma is put to the test again today when the Hornets travel to Weatherford to take on Vernon (9-2) in the Division II-3A area round at Kangaroo Stadium at 2 p.m.
"I think this is a very determined team and they have invested a lot," said Gatesville coach Kyle Cooper.
"With the onside kick, they say it is better to be lucky than good, but (Sebastian Corrales) is good at it too. We work every week as a unit (on that). The kids prepare themselves not just over the course of a week, but over the course of six years.
"Winning builds confidence and confidence leads to wins. It is a great Catch-22."
Gatesville's offensive production against Vernon, as always, relies on quarterback Cole Edmiston.
The senior has passed for 2,277 yards and 24 touchdowns already this season and has run for 847 yards and 16 touchdowns. But, if teams just try to key on Edmiston, the Hornets unlock their other weapon, running back Jake Kee.
The junior has run for 1,101 yards and 13 touchdowns this season.
Edmiston's main target is Tyler Janes (36 receptions, 777 yards), but has also gotten production from Danny Byrd (34 receptions, 337 yards) and Matthew Wallace (25 receptions, 353 yards).
"We have to take care of the ball. That has been a big part of our success and when you take care of the football you can maintain drives.
"We also want to get out to an early lead and put them behind the eight-ball."
But, the offensive fireworks the Hornets used to score 48 points on Alvarado is not what has fueled their season.
That has been the defense. Gatesville is allowing less than 300 total yards per game — 174.8 on the ground and 115 in the air.
However, Vernon is a rush-heavy offense capable of testing Gatesville's run-defense. Headlined by junior Robert Thomas (1,005 yards and 14 touchdowns), the Lions have four runners with at least 495 rushing yards this season, and three of those have posted at least 10 touchdowns.
In last week's 55-28 bi-district victory against Springtown, however, Vernon displayed balance as senior quarterback Brandon Urquizo completed seven of eight passes for 181 yards and three touchdowns, while junior Orlando Haymon (178 rushing yards and three touchdowns) paced the Lions' ground game to 289 yards.
Haymon is one third of a trio of backs for the Lions, including Robert Harris, who leads Vernon with 1,005 yards and 14 touchdowns on the ground this season. Danny Valverde is the third member of the group. Valverde has run for 788 yards and 10 touchdowns.
"They have very good skill-type guys and we have to be able to contain them and not have the big break away play," Cooper said. "We need to contain them at the line of scrimmage and make them drive for large chunks of yards."
