How do you think the new GigE standards will influence the machine vision industry?
Respond or ask your question now!
Matrox Imaging (Dorval, Quebec, Canada) announces Matrox Concord, a family of interface cards that are pre-licensed for use with the Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) and pre-configured to minimize application setup time. With the Matrox Concord family, connecting to GigE Vision™ or IEEE 1394 IIDC devices has never been easier. The single-port Matrox Concord GigE is factory-configured to maximize the size of jumbo packets and manage interrupt moderation and receive descriptors for optimal GigE Vision™ performance. Matrox Concord 1394 features three IEEE-1394a/b adapter ports and a 1394a/b bilingual copper connection. Both cards support 64-bit conventional PCI and x1 PCI ExpressTM host interfaces. They also are pre-licensed for the MIL IEEE 1394 IIDC and GigE Vision™ drivers, so a supplemental license is not required. Furthermore, both cards can be used to obtain and store the license for additional MIL functionality. Like other Matrox Imaging hardware, the Matrox Concord family has a managed lifecycle and long-term availability. Software support is available for 32-bit Microsoft® Windows® XP and consists of the field-proven, hardware-independent Matrox Imaging Library/ActiveMIL or MIL-Lite/ActiveMIL-Lite development toolkits for creating custom applications. www.matrox.com/imaging

I'm sure this is 80% too much coffee, but what I'm being taught in my counseling classes seems so humanistic… I am including some quotes from one of the guys (major counseling expert and big Christian author) we are required to read in my classes.
Is straight scripture in every "pep talk" too much for people to handle? Are the following phrases the milk that people have to start with before they can take meat? I need feedback! Am I way off? I don't want to be too harsh a judge, but is this what "Biblical" counselors use in their sessions? Where's the Bible?
You can't determine your physical emotional response, but when you have the faith attitude, you can rise above your feelings. You cannot stop feelings, but you can keep your feelings from stopping you.
You can't determine your circumstances, but when you have the right attitude you get the best out of circumstances and rise above your circumstances.
Jesus asked the blind men, "'Do you believe that I am able to do this?' 'Yes, Lord,' they replied. Then he touched their eyes and said, 'According to your faith will it be done to you'" (Matt 9:28-29, NIV). In this biblical example, the external power of Jesus was made effective by the blind men's choice to believe. In other words, the Lord chose to bring about physical healing through the channel of their mind, which chose to believe. (This is a Biblical example from my book. Is this the way it should be interpreted and communicated to counselees?)
The greatest cause of so-called mental illness is a distorted concept of God and ourselves.I really don't want to attack this author, I just need to know the truth about the lines between this type of counseling and Biblical counseling, which is what I want to pursue.

What can we learn from the MOVIES directed by Hayao Miyazaki?(Studio Ghibli)
As I wait for the North American release of Howl's Moving castle,
I tought it would be cool to talk about its director Master Hayao Miyazaki.
To be honest, I have never been much of a fan of ANIME, but man,
that can can sure animate. And his mind is like a universe of incredible ideas.
His movies have a lot of heart, and to be honest they go way beyond on the animation
done for children (the audience he admits he aims for).
What do you guys think we could learn from this master.

Number 1 lesson: Take care of the environment!
And flying is good.
The real lesson of course, is never to loose the imagination and sense of wonder that we had when we were children. As long as we keep our hearts and minds open everything becomes possible.

I also get the same message that one must keep their hearts and minds open... That you can find wonderous and lovely things around you even in simple things if you don't close your mind to everything and simply think about only your own problems. Also that nature itself has a lot of beauty to offer to you and you don't necessarily need the latest gadgets to wow or amaze you...
He also really gets the wonder of flying across. I like all the flying scenes that he directs...
I also learn a lot about animating people just by looking at his films :P The way emotions and everything are brought across are great models to learn from if you ever want to be an animator.

now with 20% more ego!
First of all, I learnt, or rather discovered, that Hayao Miyazaki is a genius
The messages from Nausicaa and Fireflys are, in my opinion, the most observable among his movies, protect your environment, stand up for what you believe is right and that wars are bad.
Ultimately I learnt that keeping an open mind and looking at things from various perspectives can help you see things (In general) in new ways and create fantastic innovation, such as Miyazaki did in the style of storytelling using animation as a medium.

The child like emotional aspects of his films I think are what makes them the absolute best because even if you are old and feeble, he still finds a way into the child inside all of us and invites them out to play. ^_^

Well, Spirited Away was wonderful for me because it is as Miyazaki had once stated, "This film is for all of those who were once 10 years old, and for all of those who are going to be 10 years old" (or something like that, I believe). This movie brings so much into perspective, as a child and as an adult. Chihiro loses her name, her individuality, and must battle against everything she knows to get it back... paralleling that to the real world, one might say that it is a struggle that everyone faces in everyday life, the struggle to discover, maintain and develop that [integrity] which is exclusive to the Self. This is why I find that Hayao Miyazaki is a unique writer/director, it's because he can take something that at face value may at first appear rather unintentional and rather simple; but underneath, or rather as the film progresses, we come to find that the themes of the film are applicable to everyone and that the character motives are real and that the decisions the character personalities make are very real as well. Spirited Away is heartwarming in every way... Granted that when I saw it in theaters I was one of the oldest people there, it didn't matter, I got just as much out of that film as did the 10-year-old girl sitting directly behind me.
However, in the back of my mind I've always had this nagging disdain for Miyazaki because of the tyrannical way he goes about film production... Because if Ghibli didn't exist, there would be no studio on the face of the planet that would put up with what he does.

I always wondered, do you actually learn from anime or do they simply just reinforce your views? I would seriously kill myself if I learned something profound from anime. IMO you can only learn life lessons by experiencing them, but that's just me.

I learn that Power is everything and that if power is not enuf then you must relie on luck.
Also the true essence of Naausica is that is good to kill the enemies babies before they become trouble....
Also flying is good, but fan service is better...that's why all the animals in his films are naked!!!

There's always a catch...
You can learn a lot from his movies. About nature and not to abuse it.
He creates stories and visions that fuel the imaginations of all. You never want to lose your imagination. When you lose that, you're a very boring individual. He keeps those imaginations from dying. He is definately one of the better artists and storytellers. And one of my favorite.

Another lesson that many studio execs should learn is that if you give a talented person enough funding and enough freedom, they will make something absolutely amazing, that a committee of old men in suits who only think about the bottom dollar would never be able to come close to.

Butler University has been in the news lately because of a question asked by Butler journalism student Evan Strange to Chelsea Clinton, who recently visited our campus. Evan Strange apparently asked Chelsea how she would respond to those who accuse her mother of displaying weakness in her response to the Monica Lewinsky scandal, in a way that had potential ramifications for her having the strength required of a president.
"Wow, you're the first person actually that's ever asked me that question in the, I don't know maybe, 70 college campuses I've now been to, and I do not think that is any of your business," Chelsea Clinton replied.
Chelsea Clinton was around the age of Butler freshmen when the Monica Lewinsky scandal occurred. Sure, Strange's question was personal, but how personal a question is too personal in a country where everyone is interested in the sexual activities of politicians, and a member of a candidate's family is campaigning on her behalf? I found most surprising in Chelsea's response the claim that no one had asked her that before on a college campus, and am inclined to think that this is evidence not of the politeness of students on other campuses, but the fact that few undergraduate students in the U.S. were aware of the scandal when it happened, and just as few have taken the time to learn about the presidency of Hillary's husband or her own political career. I wonder how many of our students at Butler had to ask "Who's Monica Lewinsky?"
I'm in no particular hurry to defend Butler's journalism students. I've been misquoted on several occasions by students who seemed not to understand that only exact words are to be placed in quotation marks. Burned by such experiences, I've gone so far as to turn down requests for interviews from students whose e-mail requests lacked the clarity or fluidity (much less the eloquence) I expect from a professional writer, even one still in training. But in those cases I had a clear complaint, namely having been misquoted. In this case, a student asked a question that touched on a personal aspect of this family's experience. Chelsea replied that it was none of the student's business. I'm not sure that the question was clearly off limits, or that the answer was in any way inappropriate when Chelsea considered it too personal. That leaves only one more question, then: What's the big deal?

this last week has been the worst weather wise in around 14 years … if not longer. the gates are open at the dam and yarramundee bridge is under and cut off. it been insane the rain and its taken its toll on everyone. luckily i was on a recover week and felt ok with not riding to work. also the girl is still un-rideable with the pedal not fixed yet.
stromlo has played on my mind all week. i'm not pissed off just upset i didn't get to complete the race. with that i made it a mission to make sure the rear tire was fully tubeless by the end of the weekend and after a trip to chruchy's + 2 full cups of stans it did end up holding air.
i had plans all week to get out on the MTB on sunday no matter what. i realised now – again after stromlo – it's just to easy to use the roadie. i need to make an effort more often to put in some serious KM on carbo. the oaks deals with water really well so i ended up riding up to woodford, down to the cause way, back up to woodford and home again.
from the get go my legs were sore. not sure why, possibly the lack of much training this week – 1 x swim, 1 x stretching session only but i managed to fight my inner demons and complete the full ride. it was the climb to the helipad that hurt the most but over all i'm pretty pleased with what was a solid 92km. i think i tend to forget sometimes how much effort i am putting in… thats almost like a dirtworks ride.
it was also a bit of a nutritional experiment. my stomach was a bit sore and i don't know if that was food or what but i ate
1 x nutella sandwich [1 slice of bread] at the helipad
1 x nutella sandwich [1 slice of bread] at the causeway
1 x winners bar on the return at the helipad
after our week of discussion about nutrition i was surprised this was actually enough food, although when i made it home i was pretty hungry.
good ride and a good effort and happy i also made 98% of the 5 hr week.

Regional cooperation is hard
Should Milwaukee remove the chip off its shoulder and finally embrace its place as a suburb of Chicago?
I remember the first time I heard that suggestion. It was at the 2005 BizTimes Commercial Real Estate & Development Conference, where Michael Mullen, founder of Chicago-based CenterPoint Properties, was one of the keynote speakers. Mullen told the Milwaukee audience that our city should stop resisting and instead capitalize on its proximity to Chicago.
As I looked around the room, I could see jaws dropping.
However, Mullen cited several logistical advantages Milwaukee had over its larger neighbor to the south, including lower labor costs, lower taxes, a better-trained workforce and less traffic congestion.
Eight years later, the issue came full circle again as Mullen was moderating a panel discussion on "Transportation and Logistics in the Tri-state Region" in Chicago.
Mullen asked Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn about the regional potential.
"We'd be very happy to make Milwaukee a suburb of Chicago," Quinn said at the discussion, which held as part of the Summit on Regional Competitiveness at the Federal Reserve Bank in Chicago on Sept. 27. "I think that would be the way to go."
Annual ridership on Amtrak's Hiawatha route between Milwaukee and Chicago grew from 397,500 in 2002 to 832,500 in 2012 (a 109-percent increase), and Quinn said the route is the busiest in the nation outside of the East Coast.
One study being done by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, the Illinois DOT, the Federal Railroad Administration and Amtrak is examining plans to increase service on the Hiawatha from seven daily roundtrips to 10 daily roundtrips.
At the conference, which was co-presented by the Alliance for Regional Development, Quinn encouraged Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker to invest in the Badger State's share of the costs to upgrade the Hiawatha line and expand the fleet of trains connecting Milwaukee's General Mitchell International Airport to Union Station in downtown Chicago. Doing so, Quinn said, would help Mitchell Field become "Chicago's third airport."
Quinn, a Democrat, began the discussion by chiding Walker, a Republican, for rejecting $810 million in federal funding in 2010 for high-speed rail that would have connected Chicago, Milwaukee and Madison, with ultimate plans to connect to the Twin Cities.
Meanwhile, high-speed rail lines are being built to connect Chicago to St. Louis, Mo.; Iowa City, Iowa (through the Quad Cities); and Detroit, Mich., as those states accepted the federal stimulus funds to build those routes.
Ironically, the stage Quinn was speaking on was occupied only minutes earlier by Walker, who was featured along with Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development Secretary Reggie Newson in a panel discussion on "Matching Skills to Jobs in the Tri-state Region."
Walker has publicly stated that one of his priorities is to lure northern Illinois companies to cross the border to the north, and is succeeding in doing just that.
In subsequent panel discussions at the regional conference, Wisconsin was represented by Dean Amhaus, president and CEO of the Milwaukee Water Council; David Garman, founding dean of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee School of Freshwater Sciences; and Paul Jones, executive chairman of Milwaukee-based A.O. Smith Corp. and Wisconsin chairman of the Alliance for Regional Development.
Republican Indiana Gov. Mike Pence capped the conference by suggesting that the region be branded as "The Heartland."
The new calls for regional cooperation are encouraging. However, let's all take a time out from the whole Kumbaya thing on Nov. 4. That's when the Green Bay Packers will host the Chicago Bears.

Philosophy 302, Dr. Wright
See the reading questions on the Sixth Meditation below. First, however, it is important to note some central points in the Fourth and the Fifth Mediations.
Some important points in the Fourth and Fifth Meditations:
1. In the Fourth Meditation, Descartes stresses that I, not God, am the cause of the errors I make. This is because judging, for Descartes, is an act of free will. In this Meditation, Descartes stresses the distinction between our will and our understanding. Our will is in a sense unlimited (and so is the image of God in us) whereas our understanding is limited. What we must do in order to avoid error, according to Descartes, is never to affirm any proposition (an act of will) until it is clearly and distinctly understood. He stresses that I can always suspend my belief in (doubt) a proposition in the absence of clear and distinct perception.
Meditation 4 can be seen as an elaboration of Descartes first rule of method, enunciated in the Second Discourse on page 29: "…Include nothing more in my judgments than what [presents] itself to my mind so clearly and so distinctly that I [have] no occasion to call it into doubt." For Descartes, I ought to doubt whatever is not clear and distinct.
2. In the second new paragraph of the Fourth Meditation on page 100, Descartes stresses that there is much about God that I do not know because "my own nature is very weak and limited, whereas the nature of God is immense, incomprehensible and infinite." This leads him to make a very important claim, which can be easily missed as one is reading through the Fourth Meditation. It is a fundamental claim about how to do science, and is a good example of the way the Meditations, in spite of its stress on the mind and God, relates back to Descartes' science. He tells us that because I can understand so little about God's nature "the customary search for final causes [is] totally useless in physics" and we are incapable of "investigating the impenetrable purposes of God." In this passage he is rejecting the core of Aristotelian and Scholastic science, namely the search for final causes (compare Principles of Philosophy I, 27 on page 169).
3. Now turn to the Fifth Meditation on page 105 and look at the title. In this Meditation, Descartes tells us about the nature or essence of material substance (he leaves the question of the existence of material substance to the next Meditation), and then develops another proof for the existence of God, a version of what is called the Ontological argument.
He begins by stressing that there are ideas in him which "I distinctly imagine" from which I deduce the properties of material things. He means the ideas related to "extension of the quantity … in length, breadth and depth." Since "extension" is the essence of matter, geometry gives us necessary truths about its nature. "When, for example, I imagine a triangle, even if no such figure exists… anywhere outside my thought, there is a determinate nature, or essence, or form of the triangle which is immutable and eternal, and not invented by me or dependent on my mind. This is clear from the fact that various properties can be demonstrated of the triangle, for example that its three angles are equal to two right angles, that its greatest side subtends its greatest angle, and the like" (Descartes, p. 106).
4. He then goes on (bottom paragraph on page 106ff.) to give something like a geometrical proof of the existence of God. This is different from the earlier proof in Meditation 3 in which an inference is made from the idea of God to its cause; in the Fifth Meditation proof it is argued in a purely a priori way that idea of God implies God's existence. Because there is a self-contradiction involved in denying that God exists (a perfect being would be less than perfect if such a being did not exist) God must necessarily exist.
Reading questions: Sixth Meditation, Descartes, pp. 110-22
1. The Goals of this Meditation: Two of the goals are stated in the title of the Sixth Meditation, while the third, though not mentioned in the title, in fact takes up more than half of the Meditation. The third goal is to explain the union of mind and body, a task which Descartes takes up after he has completed his other two tasks. What are the other two goals mentioned in the title?
2. Descartes begins the sixth Meditation by making a distinction between two powers of the mind on page 111, i.e. between imagination and pure understanding. This is a distinction which he already alluded to in the discussion of the wax in Meditation 2.
a) Explain how (on page 111 in the first new paragraph) he distinguishes between what I imagine and what I understand without imagination.
b) Which faculty does Descartes consider to be part of his essential nature? Does he provide any argument for this conclusion?
c) What is his speculation about the difference between imagination and pure understanding on the bottom of page 111-top of page 112?
3. The real distinction between mind and body: On pages 114-115 he provides a proof for what he calls "the real distinction between the mind and the body." He can now argue for this distinction in a way that he could not in Meditation 2 because he has made discoveries in the intervening Meditations.
a) Explain in your own words four key premises of Descartes' argument for the real distinction of the mind and the body in the paragraph beginning on the bottom of page 114?
b) Go back to page 73-74, the Synopsis of the Second Meditation, and consider the connection between this distinction and the claim that the mind or soul (these were equivalent terms for Descartes) is immortal. How does he think he can argue from the claim that there is a real distinction between the mind and the body to the conclusion that the soul/mind is immortal?
4. The Proof of the Existence of Material Things: Having explained the distinction of the mind and the body, Descartes turns on pages 115-16 to his proof that material things exist. His proof arises from a consideration of the mental power of sensation. Write out what you consider to be the two most important steps in his argument.
5. The Mind-Body Union:
a) What is it that convinces Descartes that he is closely conjoined and intermingled with his body (bottom paragraph on page 116)?
b) How would he experience his body if he were just a pure intellect, disconnected from his body?
c) How does he contrast the ideas he uses in a) from the ideas he would use if b) were the case?
6. What I am 'taught by nature' On pages 116-118 Descartes lists a number of things he thinks are "taught by nature" and those which are not.
a) What are the two different ways in which nature teaches me things, according to Descartes?
b) Make two lists, one of what is taught to us by human nature[1] and the other of what we mistakenly think is taught to us by human nature.
c) Why does Descartes think he can now accept things which are taught to us by human nature, while he rejected such matters (those taught by a "spontaneous impulse") on the bottom of page 89?
7. What, according to Descartes, is the "proper purpose" of sense perceptions? (middle of page 118; compare page 121, middle paragraph)

Corporate Australia must realise it cannot function in a social vacuum.
Australians, on an individual level, are generous givers. Some people donate money, others give up time as voluntary workers. In times of crisis, the generosity of Australians towards their fellows - and even to those in distant parts of the world - has traditionally been little short of magnanimous. About one in three Australians make tax-deductible donations, according to the Australian Taxation Office. The most generous donors tend to be at the lower end of the income scale. Hotel workers, for example, are noted for their charity, according to a Tax Office study of donations for the year 2000. It is estimated that Australia's philanthropic sector is worth $5.4 billion a year. Of this, individual donations make up about $3 billion.
What Australia has always lacked, however, is a strong tradition of corporate philanthropy. That would explain why the the corporate sector's share of the donor pot is just $2 billion - a figure that includes corporate sponsorship, from which a tangible return is anticipated.
In the United States, philanthropy has long been central to corporate culture - to the tune of about $300 billion annually. The comparative lack of Australian corporate philanthropic spirit is at least in part behind calls by prominent Melbourne businessman and philanthropist Richard Pratt for the Federal Government to give a tax break to Australian companies that donate at least 1 per cent of their profits to community groups. This is not self-interest talking. The Pratt family is one of a handful of Melbourne business families - notably including the Myers and the Smorgons - who have contributed generously over many years to the welfare of the community.
Mr Pratt argues that responsibility for a healthy community lies with all sectors - government, business, welfare agencies and individuals. He proposes an Australian community compact that reflects this.
The central issue is one of reciprocity and mutual obligation. For businesses, the benefits of philanthropic activity include customer recognition, better employee relations and community support. In addition, Mr Pratt has called on all levels of government to give weight to a company's philanthropic record in tendering.
Federal and state government responses to this aspect of the Pratt proposal have been been lukewarm so far. In 1998, Prime Minister John Howard told a national congress of the Australian Council of Social Service that his goal was to "cultivate a greater philanthropic tradition in Australia" and that the business sector needed to increase its efforts. Encouraging such a culture may require incentives. The Government might carefully consider Mr Pratt's proposal as one means of achieving that end.

(CNSNews.com) - "Brace yourselves," Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie is warning congressional Republicans.
"Senator Kerry's campaign is implementing a strategy of vicious personal attacks against the President and Vice President," Gillespie wrote in a letter this week.
Gillespie reminded Republican lawmakers that the Kerry campaign "is bringing in a bevy of former Clinton henchmen," including James Carville and Paul Begala.
"In August alone, Gillespie noted, "Begala called President Bush a 'gutless wonder,' said he has a 'lack of intelligence,' and called Vice President Cheney a 'dirt bag.' Carville said the President is 'ignorant big time' and said 'George W. Bush and Dick Cheney are a couple of nobodies.'"
Gillespie offered other examples as well:
-- At a Kerry rally last Friday in Ohio, Democrat John Glenn compared the Republican Convention to a Nazi rally;
-- at a Kerry-Edwards campaign event in New York, the President was called a "cheap thug," a "killer" and a "liar";
-- Mrs. Kerry has called the President's policies "unpatriotic" and "immoral";
-- DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe has falsely accused the President of being AWOL from the National Guard
-- Democratic strategist Susan Estrich, in a column last Wednesday, called President Bush and Vice President Cheney alcoholics, then asked "is any alcoholic ever really cured?" Estrich also called President Bush's service as a National Guard fighter pilot "draft dodging," and she said the new Kitty Kelley book "raises questions about whether the President has practiced what he preaches on the issue of abortion."
Gillespie also mentioned Ben Barnes, a vice chair of the Kerry campaign, who - in an interview with CBS News -- says he pulled strings to get George W. Bush into the Air National Guard. [A Bush campaign spokesman said Barnes has no credibility; has contradicted himself; and is a John Kerry supporter.]
"Any mention of John Kerry's votes for higher taxes and against vital weapons programs will be met with the worst kind of personal attacks," Gillespie wrote to Republican lawmakers.
"Such desperation is unbecoming of American presidential politics, and Senator Kerry will pay a price for it at the polls as we stay focused on policies to continue growing our economy and winning the war on terror."

The main goal of the Centre for the Advancement of Psychological Science and Law (CAPSL) is to focus on issues at the intersection of psychology and the legal system. At the CAPSL, our team – comprised of accomplished faculty members (Drs. Stephen Porter, Michael Woodworth, Zachary Walsh & Jan Cioe) and students – conducts cutting edge research with important basic scientific and applied implications.
CAPSL research focuses on four key areas at the interface of psychology and the legal system: 1) factors that predispose individuals to crime, with a focus on personality and aggression; 2) investigative psychology, with a focus on deceptive behaviour, credibility assessment, and memory; 3) legal decision-making; and 4) the development and refinement of interventions to reduce recidivism among perpetrators of violence and assist with the recovery of crime victims. Ultimately, the aim of our research is to lead to legal/investigative reforms, advances in clinical practice, and improved training for forensic professionals.
CAPSL, funded by the Canadian Foundation for Innovation and the British Columbia Knowledge Development Fund, is housed in the Arts and Sciences II Building on the UBC Okanagan Campus.
The forensic psychology group at UBC Okanagan includes, from left, psychology professors Michael Woodworth, Zach Walsh, Stephen Porter and Jan Cioe.

Gala said in a statement that it would prefer to bid solely for the Tote's 540 betting shops, which it values at £325m but would consider other options depending on how the government views its proposals.
Under Gala's alternative plans, it could offer £405m for the entire business, after which it would sell on Tote's on-course betting, telephone betting and internet betting operations, which Gala values at around £80m.
However, the Department of Culture, Media and Sport said last night that the government 'had not yet invited any bids for the Tote'.
The news follows earlier speculation surrounding former Tote boss John Heaton, now in charge of Interactive Gaming Holdings (IGH), when he indicated that IGH may be prepared to bid for the Tote should it come up for auction.
Tote operating profits fell 3.3 percent to £23.4m last year because of poor horse-racing results while turnover grew 16.9 percent to £2.21 billion.

Update: Reutimann, a two-time winner in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, will make his 200th series start on Sunday at Bristol Motor Speedway, jayski.com reports.
Recommendation: The BK Racing veteran made his Sprint Cup debut in 2005 and has now racked up 200 starts as of this weekend's race at BMS. Reutimann is an accomplished short-track driver. The last time he visited the Bristol oval in this event one year ago, Reutimann finished a respectable 21st for the No. 10 team. He should challenge the Top 20 again this weekend in his 200th start.

As Tehran continue to deploy an oversize and much disputed diplomatic activity concerning the Caucasian crisis, placing itself on the side of Moscow and criticizing the "unwise" decision of the pro-American Georgian President to handle the situation, an Israeli intelligence news service says that the overwhelming Russian response to the Georgian provocation was to destroy facilities that Israel could use to attack Iranian nuclear facilities.
Paris, 15 Sept. (DEBKAfile-IPS) As Tehran continue to deploy an oversize and much disputed diplomatic activity concerning the Caucasian crisis, placing itself on the side of Moscow and criticizing the "unwise" decision of the pro-American Georgian President to handle the situation, an Israeli intelligence news service says that the overwhelming Russian response to the Georgian provocation was to destroy facilities that Israel could use to attack Iranian nuclear facilities.
According to DEBKAfile, which has the reputation of being "close" to the Israeli secret services Mossad, the raids, disclosed by Arnaud de Borchgrave, the Chief Editor of the Arab owned United Press International (UPI), a veteran high flying journalist who is also on the Washington Times staff, the Russian raided two Georgian airfields which Tbilisi had allowed Israel to use for a potential strike against Iran's nuclear facilities.
Fying time for Israeli planes from South Georgia to Iran is much less than from Israel itself
The unconfirmed information followed the Georgian offensive against South Ossetia on 7 August 2008, leading to the invasion of most strategic areas in Georgia by Russia and the subsequent declaration of independence from Tbilisi by both South Ossetia and Abkhazia, an act made "irrevocable" after Moscow recognized their independence.
While the close cooperation between Israel and Georgia in military and intelligence fields are an open secret, DEBKAfile goes farther, saying "Under the secret agreement with Georgia, the airfields had been earmarked for use by Israeli fighter-bombers taking off to strike Iran in return for training and arms supplies".
By "intelligence sources" estimates, flying from South Georgia over the Caspian Sea to Iran would sharply trim the distance to be spanned by Israeli fighter-bombers, reducing flying time to 3.5 hours.
"Northern Iran and the Tehran region, where most of the nuclear facilities are concentrated, would be within range, with no need to request US permission to pass through Iraq air space", DEBKAfile says, adding that "Russian Special Forces also raided other Israeli facilities in southern Georgia and captured Israeli spy drones".
Israel was said to have used the two airfields to "conduct recon flights over southern Russia as well as into nearby Iran". The US intelligence sources quoted by UPI reported that the Russian force also carried home other Israeli military equipment captured at the air bases.
"Our sources say that if the Russians got hold of an Israeli unmanned aerial vehicle complete with sophisticated electronic reconnaissance equipment, they will have secured some of the Israel Defence Forces's most secret devices for spying on Iran and Syria".
The information comes at a time that psychological war is raging between the Iran and the Jewish State, with each one menacing the other with "fatal" destruction.
Tel-Aviv, backed by the United States and most of the Western nations accuses the ruling Iranian ayatollahs of seeking nuclear weapons to destroy Israel. For its part, Tehran, while rejecting vehemently these accusations, insists that the main source of instability and crisis in the Middle East comes from both the occupation of "Muslim" lands by the Americans in the one hand and the "savage" and" inhuman" treatment of the Palestinians by the Israelis.
The Caucasian crisis is considered as "blessed bread" for the lamed government of the Iranian fanatic President, Mahmoud Ahmadi Nezhad, who, because of his devastating economic decisions, crackdowns on dissidents, hard line foreign policy and particularly uncompromising nuclear activities, is under growing criticism both at home and outside.
Tehran backed the Russian action in Georgia, blaming the pro-American President of Georgia for the conflict
In fact, as a result of the unprecedented confrontation between Moscow and Washington over the Caucasian issue, a reminder of the cold war, Russia, in exchange of the Iranian backing, has openly warned the three western veto holding nations of the United Nations Security Council that it would no longer accept any further sanctions against Tehran over its controversial nuclear activities.
Backing the Russian devastating Russian attack on Georgia, Keyhan a hard line Iranian newspaper that has access to highly classified information and also reflects the views of the Iranian leader, Ayatollah Ali Khameneh'i, claimed that the "invasion" of South Ossetia by Georgian forces was decided by the Georgian Defence minister, "a Jew who lived in Israel and was trained there, who alsio arranged for the purchase of more than 200 million US Dollars sophisticated weapons from Israel and the training of special Georgian commandos".
So far, the Security Council has approved three resolutions against the Islamic Republic of Iran, calling on the Iranian ayatollahs to suspend nuclear activities for a certain period allowing international nuclear experts to determine if the atomic works have not also a military use.
In his last report filed to the board of directors, the Head of the United Nations nuclear watchdog, the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency said it is incapable to confirm or infirm that Iranian nuclear activities have only a civilian character and are not deviated for military use.

|Lady Cats win first game of 2005 volleyball season
|Joseph Elerson | News-Telegram Sports Writer
Aug. 10, 2005 - COMMERCE - The Sulphur Springs Lady Cats opened up the volleyball season with a 25-18, 25-27, 25-14, 25-14 win over the Commerce Lady Tigers Tuesday night.
Head coach John McCollough's team travels to Wills Point Friday with the freshman starting at 4 p.m.
"We came out and started very strong and played well early, and then in that second game we just lost focus or relaxed after the first game. But ,then we fought back and got it tied at 23-23," McCollough said.
"We had several opportunities to take advantage and win the game but we didn't do that. The girls then got focused and came out and won games three and four and they played the way that we are supposed to play."
SSHS started Game 1 strong as senior Tara Gibby gave them a 6-3 lead on back-to-back kills as she had 12 kills and three assists in the match.
"Tara Gibby did a great job attacking up front and getting some kills for us during the game," McCullough said.
Later in the first game, the Lady Cats went on a five-point run as Marlee Peugh smacked two aces during that run and was a key performer according to McCollough with her serving during the match.
"Marlee had a great night serving for us and I think it was the first game that she knocked off six or seven in a row. When you can dominate serving that is definitely going to help, and she had several aces for us," the coach said.
In Game 2, Commerce jumped out to an 11-4 lead as Sulphur Springs had four miscues on balls during that period, but then went on a 16-11 run to get to 21-20 and tied the game up four times before Commerce wrapped it up with a kill from Catherine Yoakut and an ace from Charity Cruz for the 27-25 win.
In Game 3, Sulphur Springs tied the score at 5-5 when junior Kayla Morgan delivered her only ace of the game before Hailey Watson and Gibby gave SSHS a 7-5 lead.
Later in the same game, the Lady Cats went on a 7-0 run to give them a 24-13 lead as Morgan, Watson and Brittany Moore had kills during that run. Watson recorded two of her six kills during that stretch. She finished with one ace, 11 assists and one block.
In Game 4, Sulphur Springs jumped out to an early 7-0 lead behind the serving of Laura Ream as she recorded three aces during that stretch, and McCollough said she played a big part in the service game for the Lady Cats.
After a Commerce timeout, the Lady Tigers rallied to tie the game at 9-9 as Tat Booth had three kills. Booth had 11 kills for the Lady Tigers during the match.
Sulphur Springs then closed out the game on an 8-1 run to take the 3-1 victory.
"I was very proud of them, and it is still early in the season," McCollough said. "We had too many balls that hit the floor where people weren't communicating but at the same time I was pleased with the defense as people were diving on the floor and keeping the ball alive. Overall, we played a great game and I am very pleased with the first game."
Moore had four aces and 11 kills for the Lady Cats, while Morgan finished with six kills, one block and one ace.
Yoakut had four kills, five assists and one ace for the Lady Tigers, while teammate Roxy Tolly had five kills, one block and one ace.

Stop Living PayCheck
|Subject: Message of thanks
Just a quick message to say that I have finally sorted out my finances. There was no way of doing this without the help of Simply Budgets. My husband and I went from a double income no kids scenario to a one income plus two children reality!
We were convinced that I would have to go back to work just so we could make ends meet. I didn't want to put my children in day care especially my new baby but we couldn't see another way around it.
My husband and I saw your Simply Budgets software program on one of the current affairs programs, and thought, why not give it a go!
Well I am pleased to say that working out our finances with your software I now have the luxury of staying home to raise our two children, for at least the next ten years if I wish to!!!
Just seeing our finances clearly in black and white made us sit up and really take notice of the things we wanted out of life.
I just thought I would email our gratitude to you because you have now afforded me the luxury of raising my two children (with a stay at home mother by choice) and not someone else by putting them into ten hour a day day care.
Sincerely Thank you,
Another one....
Another one....
|Subject: Thank$ a million
Hi David, I received my copy of your wonderful program just over a week ago. Since then I have been working on it and refining my budget.
WOW ! What a timesaver this is proving to be. For years I have worked everything out on a spreadsheet but this leaves everything else for dead.
But what am I going to do with all the extra time? Spend the extra money I now have I suppose. It's really great thanks so much.
Regards Norm Gibson.
You see I realised that I needed to change the way I handled my money. Sure, you get your bank statements at the end of each month. Trouble was, bank statements only tell you what you have spent. And that doesn't help much does it?
Well basically, your bank statement is looking backwards. It provides a little "history lesson" about your spending. It's too late to change it, so what good is it? What I realised I needed was…
A way of looking forward!So that I knew, right down to the last penny, how much money I need to have put aside on any given day and how much money I can safely spend!
And that's the beauty of Simply Budgets. It's like having a crystal ball attached to your bank account … allowing you to instantly see, right on your computer screen, your financial future. It's right there in front of you … giving you the plain simple answers that instantly solve your financial problems.
End Money Worries Forever!Instead of the stress and frustration of guessing, worried out of your mind if you've got the money to pay the bills, you now have a "financial road map" that puts you in the driver's seat; giving you control of your finances … giving you the power to break free of money worries forever!
Now just imagine that for a second. How's that going to feel?
No more arguing over the bills, no more feelings of desperation as you try to juggle long overdue accounts; no more dread as you hear the postie pull up at your mailbox, and no more gut-wrenching worry … you can kiss it all goodbye.
Simply Budgets will even point you to overlooked surpluses in your finances, so you can actually enjoy those occasional "special treats" that you so thoroughly deserve.
$IMPLY BUDGETS Gives You Peace of Mind$IMPLY BUDGETS takes the pain out of household budgets and gives you peace of mind. And unlike most household budgets, you don't have to add up expenses, you don't have to balance the books, and you don't have to be a whiz at mathematics either.
$IMPLY BUDGETS does it all for you. Here's how…
What $IMPLY BUDGETS does is easy…
Simply click, then bingo!
$IMPLY BUDGETS does the rest, giving you a custom-made blueprint of your finances so you know exactly where you are going financially.
It prepares your perfect bank statement for the next year in advance, showing you at a glance exactly where your finances need to be up to every day.

And what's more, it's so simple to use!You don't have to be a computer whiz to instantly start to profit from this software. In fact, many of our customers are relative newcomers to computers. They simply followed the directions in their instruction book, entered in their data, and bingo. Simply Budgets does the rest. It's that easy.
Here's what some more of my customers had to say…
|Subject:- Thank you so much for a program that has
changed my life!!!
I recently bought your program and cannot thank you enough, for it has changed my life.
I am (or was!) your typical young male who's wage burnt a hole in his pocket each week. On top of this I had various debts for cars, credit cards etc. totaling almost $15,000. By using your program and some good financial advice though, I have managed to turn my life around.
My girlfriend and I have managed to clear all debt, and are well on our way to a deposit for our first home! It is an amazing advantage to be able to scroll through our statement in advance to see when we will have enough money. We have also realised that with some discipline we will even be able to cover all fees & charges leaving "the first home owner's grant" to spend on us!
Your program has really helped us to prioritize our spending habits and cut out any unnecessary costs we used to have because the money was just there.
This program has helped us so much that now the rest of my family is getting in on the action. I even caught my dad having a go the other night!!
Again I thank you and hope that perhaps this positive feedback might help others realise what a fantastic program it can be.
Max Ainscough, Noosa.
Here is just 1 example of how you will save money….
Set and forget…that's how easy it is!And it's not like you've got to keep going back and checking the numbers every day. No, that's far too hard, and who's got time to do that these days?
With $IMPLY BUDGETS it's easy.
Once a week spend just a couple a minutes to make sure you're on track. And if any unexpected bills crop up like they sometimes do, then no worries, you know straight away at a glance how this new info will affect your finances.
You just need to stay above the line. When you don't have a line to stay above you are constantly guessing and stressed from not knowing where you are headed. If the unexpected bill puts you below the line you know instantly that you need to do some catching up rather than finding out the day you have bills to pay and no money to pay them with.
And it's the same with any unexpected windfalls of cash you receive. When your budget is in order you get to keep these for yourself rather than having to top up the bank account because of unpaid bills!
If your income goes up and down from week to week then this is no problem either. Your budget doesn't even need adjusting. If you're behind one week, then you will see it when you check your bank balance against your target balance. If you're a bit ahead another week, then you will easily see this as well. You're spare money will never get mixed up with your budgeted money ever again, even if you keep it all in the one account! Your personal budget plan keeps track of it all for you!
It's that easy.
So if you want to take control of your financial future, if you're sick of worrying about your bills and you want to take control now, then SIMPLY BUDGETS is your answer.
29,115 satisfied customers can't be wrong!29,115 enthusiastic customers know first-hand that $IMPLY BUDGETS works like magic … and that it works fast.
And so do the major TV Networks!In fact, since I launched this program I've been blessed with media coverage. All eager to get me on their show or in their publications. All eager to share the good news with their viewers or readers and I'm happy to oblige.
Australia's two premier current affairs shows A Current Affair and Today Tonight have both run stories on $IMPLY BUDGETS. Not once but three times.
Plus I've appeared on Brisbane Extra and numerous radio shows.
In the USA there have been interviews about Simply Budgets on TV and radio as well.
Heck, we even appeared in not one, but two issues of PC Authority where they reviewed and praised my software.
Now I'm not telling you this to boast, that's not my style. I just want you to realize that you don't get that kind of praise if your product is lousy.
My goal with SIMPLY BUDGETS is to give you back control of your household budget. To put you in the driver's seat; in charge of your financial future. With my program you will discover a whole new world of stress-free living.
The world of financial freedom awaits you right now…
Be honest … it's gonna feel absolutely fantastic isn't it! I know when I finally cleared myself of debt and started to move forward it was like a giant weight had been lifted from my shoulders. Like as if I was alive again … not just merely getting by in a worry-induced coma.
And you'll feel this way too!
Especially when you realize just how much money you can save! Let me ask, what will you do with all those extra funds?
Take that long overdue holiday?
Or maybe it's a new car that takes your fancy?
(One of my happy customers from Perth in Western Australia was absolutely blown away when she realized after using my software that her family didn't have to put up with driving around in an old bomb car any more. After doing a number of "what-if" scenarios they were able to confidently go and buy a brand new car for the first time ever!)
No matter what you secretly wish for, $IMPLY BUDGETS will point you to any overlooked funds that you can instantly use whichever way you choose.
So how much does it cost?Now, at this stage you're probably wondering how much this amazing piece of software is going to cost. (And the truth is, it's not going to cost you a penny if you're not absolutely thrilled! I'll explain more in a minute.)
The good news is, you won't have to break the bank to get your hands on it.
But before I tell you about your low investment,
let me share something important with you.
You know, it's no secret there are other household budget programs out there that claim to give you the answers to your financial problems. Trouble is, most budgeting programs only give you half of the picture. They might tell you that you can make ends meet.
But who wants to know you can "make ends meet"?
If you're like I was, you're probably sick of looking at numbers that should work, but in practice they just don't.
Aren't you sick of just struggling to get by? Don't you want more than that?
Well SIMPLY BUDGETS gives you more ... it reveals the 'how to' in getting back on track, and more importantly, how to move forward and actually get ahead!
It's Like Having Your Very Own Personal Financial Planner on Call 24 Hours a Day, at Just a Fraction of the Price!Can you imagine getting a Financial Planner or an Accountant to do this for you? To hand you a ready-made roadmap of your financial future?
Can you imagine what that would cost?
Well it would probably be in the thousands of dollars believe me. And that's gotta hurt! And that's if they agreed to do it in the first place. A lot of Financial Planners won't even consider it. They're just not concerned with small accounts. In their opinion, ordinary folks are just not worth their while.
But I'm not asking for thousands of dollars. In fact, I'm not even talking hundreds here.
Right now, this very minute, you can get your own copy of $IMPLY BUDGETS for the one low investment of just $129. That's it … no more to pay.
Now just imagine this…
Even though the $IMPLY BUDGETS software is so easy to use, we wanted to make it even easier so you can instantly use the power it contains to rid yourself of financial pressures.
Included with your software you also get…The $IMPLY BUDGETS Software Support. I sat in front of my computer and recorded the screen and my voice as I explained every aspect of using the Simply Budgets software. I placed a button on every screen in the software so you can watch as I explain just that bit you are working on. You will know exactly what to do if you are not sure. Not only that, there are also help pages available on each screen as well. You may not want to watch video's but prefer to read and see screen images instead. It's all in there and you can come back to it as a reference at any time you like.
The $IMPLY BUDGETS Software Support.
I provide full e-mail support in the unlikely event you have any questions. I'm here to help. My software is designed to provide you with the answers you need. My experience and expertise is also available for you to draw on. I don't even know how to place a value on that!
Your investment is absolutely risk-free. Here's why…I want you to be totally thrilled with your investment so I guarantee your purchase!
Outrageous 365-Day

Q It is our 40th wedding anniversary next year and we are planning an Alaskan cruise and land tour with Princess Cruises.
As this will be our first cruise we are unsure whether to book an inside or outside cabin. We would also like the opportunity to see humpback whales.
Can you advise us what would be the best time of year to go, and do you think the Princess Cruise is the best option?
Milwyn Pearce, by email
A I don't think you'll go far wrong with a Princess Cruise. They sail in Alaska from May to September, which means you'll get the best light and pretty good weather for scenic cruising.
In June and July, Alaska can see up to 24 hours of daylight in certain areas.
If you can, book an outside cabin - you'll wake up in the morning to some fabulous glacial scenery. Don't forget to take a pair of binoculars to spot the wildlife close up.
The company's cruise ships Diamond Princess and Sapphire Princess both sail the Grandeur Of The Glaciers cruise between May and September, which includes the Inside Passage, one of the most scenic places in the world.
Glacier Bay is another port on the itinerary and the perfect place for whale-watching, or Juneau for brown bears feeding on salmon from the Chilkoot River.
Princess Cruises also offers a pretty good selection of land tours into central Alaska.
The Alaska post-cruise land tour takes the Denali Express - a glasstopped train so views are unobstructed - up to the Denali National Park where bears, wolves and other wildlife can be found.
From Denali passengers then travel to Fairbanks to board a sternwheeler for a riverboat cruise.
The Grandeur Of The Glaciers cruise, a 10-night cruise onboard Diamond Princess or Sapphire Princess, will cost you from £1,459 per person.
The price is based on two adults sharing and includes flights, meals onboard ship and all onboard activities.
Princess Cruises also offers the Scenic Wonder cruise, taking in the main aspects of an Alaskan cruise with a three-day post-cruise Heart of Alaska land tour.
This costs from £1,789 per person including flights, meals onboard ship and all onboard activities.
For more information or to book, call 08453 555 800 or visit www.princesscruises.co.uk
Q I am thinking of booking my first skiing holiday in the New Year.
There seem to be some good deals around, but they don't mention extras, such as lift passes. I will probably need some lessons too.
Can you give me some idea of how much these will cost?
R Headley, Leeds
A The cost of a week's lift pass can vary wildly, depending on where you're headed.
As you might expect, the cheapest are in Bulgaria and Romania where you'll pay around £80-£90.
In Courchevel in the French Alps, it's about £112. But if you hit the slopes in Banff, Canada, it will cost you a whopping £240.
An hour's private tuition in Bulgaria is about £15, but in the Austrian resorts this can rise to nearly £50.
The cost of apres ski can vary too. For example, a beer in Bulgarian resorts will set you back just £1, while in some Norwegian ski areas it's more than a fiver.
If it's your first time on the slopes, you'll get some good advice on snowfall and tips on prices from the Ski Club of Great Britain at www.skiclub.co.uk
Q My sister and I are both keen gardeners. Do you know of any companies who do short breaks with tours of gardens and an interesting guide? We don't want to go too far.
Mrs E Driver, Norwich
A Gardening is one of the most popular pastimes in the UK, with millions of us rolling up our sleeves every weekend. Several holiday firms have jumped on the wheelbarrow, so to speak.
Warner Hotels are offering a new range of practical gardening breaks, hosted by Chelsea Flower Show silver medallist Teresa Davies and a team of experts.
These green-fingered breaks combine gardening tips, talks and master classes with visits to some of the UK's most famous gardens and shows including the RHS Chelsea and Hampton Court Flower Shows and the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew.
A Kew Experience break costs from £389 per person for a four-night break at Littlecote House, in Berkshire.
For bookings or further info visit www.warnerleisurehotels.co.uk or call 0800 1 388 399.
Across the Channel, coach tour company Leger Holidays also has tours to Monet's famous garden at Giverny in Northern France, plus a visit to the grand gardens at Versailles.

Silhouette October 19.: Celebrity Silhouette Cruise Review by scifimonkey
Overall Member Rating
Silhouette October 19.
Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean
Embarkation: Rome (Civitavecchia)
The itinerary was packed and though I never thought that I would hear myself say it we could have done with a couple of additional sea days! If only to properly enjoy the facilities on board.
The ports of call were Naples, Valetta, Mykonos, Kusadasi, Rhodes, Santorini, Athens, Chania and Venice.
We enjoyed all the ports with the possible exception of Chania but by then we were getting a bit port fatigued so it may not be a fair judgement.
The trip was part annual vacation and part 25th Anniversary celebration and we booked a Celebrity suite for the two of us and our 12 year old son. The suite was well laid out and worked extremely well for us. The butler was an unnecessary but interesting perk. He was a really nice guy and eager to assist but we struggled to find anything specific for him to do. His main contribution, other than always being on hand,was that he got us an extra chair for More the balcony and served us breakfast on the balcony on the sail in to Venice (which was amazing). Yes he could have booked us all sorts of things but in the main this was pretty easy to do yourself.
We tried out most of the specialist restaurants as we found the main dining room a bit characterless. We were on the anytime dining option and therefore did not have regular dinner companions. We were always seated as a 3 without any delay even when we had not made a reservation and whilst this was excellent in some ways we missed the opportunity to occasionally share with others which was always offered on P&O.
Blue was a much better option and towards the end of the trip we tended to revert to Blue as our restaurant of choice (a useful perk of being in a suite). Quisine was perhaps the most unusual and interesting of the restaurant offers with nothing served as you might expect and every course an event. We were unable to try Murano as it is adults only and only went in the Tuscan grille for a specialist food and wine meal which was excellent although they were clearly not geared up to have a child attend the meal which was slightly disappointing. Why do people always assume that kids are only interested in burgers and pizza or that they are incapable of behaving in the appropriate manner for such events? When you have taken the trouble to bring children up well and have ensured that they are comfortable in such surroundings it is really irritating to be limited by such perceptions. Really enjoyed the lawn club grille although was not really up for cooking my own. I am on holiday!! The quality of the steaks however was first class and our waiter that night was exceptional.
The bars on board are varied in design, concept and specialities and everyone should be able to find one which suits their taste. The entertainment was a bit disappointing compared to previous cruises with stage shows that left us a little disappointed and whilst there was a club lounge type location in the sky lounge there seldom seemed to be anyone performing there. Instead small groups were consigned to corners of the various bars which all seemed a bit haphazard and belied the quality of some of the groups and instrumentalists who on the whole were deserving of a better stage and a more focused audience.
Despite using cruise critic forums and roll calls to inform ourselves on previous cruises we had refrained from 'getting involved' before. This time the roll call had been so involving we felt we just had to meet some of the people who had been contributing. Best decision of the cruise. Great bunch of people who contributed greatly to the enjoyment of the holiday.
Can thoroughly recommend Silhouette as a ship, Celebrity as a company (service was first class from booking to departure from Venice) and taking the trouble to meet up with roll call shipmates from cruise critic.
Formal entertainment aside (and in the end our fellow passengers provided plenty enough to compensate) this was an excellent cruise on all counts. Less

Like a gentle dragon or the earth itself, a falafel's rough exterior belies its inner warmth. Crunch through outer shells with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $10 for $20 worth of Middle Eastern food
- $20 for $40 worth of Middle Eastern food for four or more
The menu includes dishes such as the vegetarian platter with grape leaves and falafel ($9.95), grilled-lamb kabobs ($15.95), and chicken shawarma ($10.95).
Jerusalem Grill
Led by Chef Ted Naan, an experienced chef who has cooked around the world, the cooks at Jerusalem Grill serve up the flavors of the Middle East in heaping portions, including dishes from Turkish, Persian, Greek, and Lebanese cuisines. Rounds of made-from-scratch pita bread mop up dollops of hummus and baba ghanouj, whereas family-style dinners allow groups of four or more to taste a variety of grilled and marinated kabobs and authentic appetizers. For dessert, diners can taste the flaky layers of baklava, a treat that's sweeter than a Valentine dipped in honey.

A judge has warned Corrie legend Johnny Briggs' drug addict grand-daughter she could kill herself.
Emma Beach, 26, – who breached a drug treatment and supervision order – has injected her veins to near collapse, Guildford crown court heard.
Extending her supervision Judge Peter Moss told her on Monday "This could easily kill you."
Next day she received a nine-month drug rehabilitation order from North Surrey magistrates for shoplifting meat to buy drugs.
The judge added: "If I passed a sentence of custody I feel it wouldn't have any impact at all."
Presiding magistrate Malcolm Stewart said: "I have heard that you want to change and this is your chance.
"Make the most of it, it's going to be difficult."
TV legend Johnny Briggs played Mike Baldwin for 36 years in the soap opera.

Body pulled out of Mississippi River in Ama
Jonathan Menard - Jul 18, 2013
Authorities have pulled a body out of the Mississippi River in Ama that is believed to be a man who jumped off of the Hale Boggs Bridge on Tuesday.
Sgt. Dwayne LaGrange, a spokesman with the St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office, said the body was recovered on Thursday at 2 p.m. near the ADM Growmark grain elevator. LaGrange said lead detectives on the case are hesitant to release a name until the body is positively identified.
"Some of the clothing is questionable, so an autopsy is underway to determine who the person is," LaGrange said. "We don't want to release anything until we are 100 percent positive of the identity."
Sources have confirmed the identity of the suspected jumper to the Herald-Guide, but the paper will wait to release the name until authorities are certain.
On Wednesday at 11 a.m., a witness saw a man abruptly pull over his Ford Explorer at the top of the bridge and quickly exit the vehicle.
Without any hesitation, the man ran towards the bridge and dove over the rail into the water below.
LaGrange said that officers found materials inside the Ford Explorer that would seem to identify the driver.

What Can I Expect From Pregnancy 4 Yrs Aftr Tummy Tuck?Answr:
You should do fine! It has been my experience with my patients that the tummy stretches without problem and that after delivery, the tummy usually does not return to where it was before the TT ..but... there may be some "touching up" required!! But overall, patients do very well...
Pregnancy AFTER Tummy Tuck
A well-done Tummy Tuck not only removes the extra, loose skin of the tummy but also takes in the looseness of the tummy muscles and repairs any muscle splitting. In effect, it reverses all the abdominal wall damage created by pregnancy. A pregnancy after a tummy tuck will largely undo many if not all of these corrections. As your uterus grows from its normal size of a lime to the size of a very large watermelon it stretches everything in its path. No scar and no suture is a match for this persistant stretch.
Inform BOTH your OBGYN you had a Tummy Tuck and let him/her be in contact with your Plastic surgeon for additional information.

Pregnancy after Tummy Tuck Surgery?
Thank you for your question.
Generally, patients are able to have normal pregnancies after tummy tuck surgery. However, I have heard anecdotally (recently) from patients and OB/GYN physicians that the abdominal wall can be very tight and that some OB/GYN's recommend earlier delivery if possible. Check with your own OB/GYN for his/her experience in this situation.
Depending on the weight gain/loss, changes in skin elasticity, genetics etc. revisionary surgery may be necessary after the pregnancy. This is a situation where only time will tell.
Best Wishes.

There are three things you should know about Wieczorkowski.
One, it's pronounced "Vee-chor-kov-ski", something best done in a voice as deep as the lovely Natasha's in ye olde Rocky & Bullwinkle cartoons.
Two, before you wonder out loud why anyone would name their new cafe Wieczorkowski (go on, say it. "Vee-chor-kov-ski"), you should also know that it was opened by Kasia and Peter Wieczorkowski, with their son, Adam. Kasia is from Krakow, and is so proud of her family's Polish heritage and culture that the cafe and ''delikatesy'' assumed an almost ambassadorial role when it opened in February after months of delay.
And three, it has two completely separate entrances. Step off Queen Street into the handsome charcoal-grey cafe and you are immediately in cake-and-coffee land - espresso machine thrumming, walls lined with Polish delicacies, and counters and tall glass cabinets laden with freshly baked Polish tortes and pastries. Step in off the narrow laneway to the side, and you're in a glass-walled indoor-outdoor Polish restaurant. Smack-bang in the middle is a busy little glass-walled kitchen - which only staff can access - bustling up food straight out of down-home Krakow.
The big order is a tasting platter ($28 to share) of mixed fried pierogi dumplings. It comes with a mug of nicely vinegary beetroot soup (barszcz), a delectably light, rice-studded cabbage roll (golabki), a fairly dry crumbed mushroom crepe, and a pot of that all-important sour cream to slather over everything in sight. Lighter options include boiled pierogi and potato pancakes; bowl salads that include a generous and colourful smoked trout and kipfler potato with cress, dill and chives; big sandwiches with evocative names such as Kossak; and a herring board with apple, onion and sour cream that could do with a denser rye bread to accompany. But it's all dangerously filling if you want to finish - as everyone does - on cake.
Those who grew up with babka, dobos torte, poppyseed cake and strudel will get straight to work, matching them with an organic house blend coffee ($3.80) that's as highly scented as the slabs of creamy vanilla slice. The less fortunate will gravitate naturally towards the iced or sugar-dusted Polish doughnut (paczki), a fat golden cloud with a dark heart of plum jam. Wieczorkowski definitely has Woollahra talking, if only about "that new Polish cafe". Come on, everybody. "Vee-chor-kov-ski". You can do it.
The low-down
Do learn how to pronounce it.
Don't expect to float out hungry.
Dish smoked trout and kipfler potato salad, $17.50.

Control Channel Only (CCO) is available in selected makes and models of scanners, when trunking Motorola systems and P25 trunking systems. For the older Uniden scanners that utilize banks and lists only 800/900 MHz trunking is supported; it is available on all bands where trunking is supported in the Uniden scanners that support DMA.
CCO programming is recommended for use in selected RS scanners starting with the Pro-93 in bands where Motorola trunking is supported and this includes all P25 trunking bands for the Pro-96/2096 and the GRE PSR-500/600 scanners. It enables the user to trunk a system by programming in only those channels that are utilized as a control channel, instead of having to utilize memory to program the entire system. This mode works for both analog and digital systems.
In the RR database, these frequencies are marked in RED with a (c) for the primary control channel, and BLUE with an (a) for any alternate control channel. Be sure to program both primary and any alternate control channels. An example can be viewed here . In this case there are 4 control channels; 2 primary and 2 alternates.
Note: If the control channel should changes, and it isn't one of the ones programmed in the list, trunking using CCO will fail. You can thus use this mode to flag if any new control channels suddenly become active in the system.
Older Uniden radios require that a band plan be programmed, as well as all the control channels, for CCO to work. RS/GRE radios including the New Whistler radios, as well as the newer DMA based Uniden scanners, do not require a plan. In addition, no plan is required when utilizing CCO in the 900 MHz band.
For those radios that require a plan to use CCO, there are 4 possibilities;
If you need to trunk a multi site system (particularly if you are mobile, and moving from the coverage from one site (a) to the next (b), programming a dummy channel (c) will allow the scanner to move to another site(a,b,d) better during inactivity from the current site(a). The following illustrates the programming:
The dummy frequency (e) could be any valid frequency that is unused in your area (free of signal). Programming a used channel (c), in this position, could interfere with normal trunking. This tip works with the PRO-96 and 2096. (Thanks to user "fmon" for the tip and suggestion for the writeup) and could possibly work for other makes & models *amendment is needed here ***
