London (AFP) May 24, 2011
Flagship carrier British Airways said Monday it was to temporarily suspend flights between London and Scotland as a cloud of ash from an Icelandic volcano drifted towards Britain.
"Following forecasts of significant volcanic ash in Scottish airspace, (we) have decided as a precaution that it will not operate any flights between London and Scotland on Tuesday ... that arrive in Scotland before 2:00 pm (1300 GMT) or depart from Scotland before 2:00 pm," a BA statement said.
"At present all other flights are unaffected," it added.
US President Barack Obama was forced to leave Ireland a day ahead of schedule Monday to fly to London after forecasters predicted ash from the Grimsvoetn volcano was set to enter Scottish airspace and drift south.
"Due to a recent change in the trajectory in the plume of volcanic ash, Air Force One will depart Ireland for London tonight. The schedule for tomorrow will proceed as planned," a White House official said.
Under the changed plans, Obama was to depart Dublin for London on Monday evening as part of his six-day European tour of four countries.
After his state visit to Britain he is due to fly to France on Thursday.
Volcanic ash is expected to reach Scottish airspace by 0100 GMT on Tuesday, according to the British air traffic control operator NATS.
Dutch airline KLM, Irish carrier Aer Lingus and budget liner Easyjet also suspended flights to northern Britain and Scotland due to the shifting plume of ash.
When an Icelandic volcano erupted last year, the plume of ash arrived in Scotland before spreading quickly across Britain, shutting down the whole country's airspace.
The ash then drifted across most of Europe, sparking the biggest shutdown of airspace since World War II.
Grimsvoetn had so far forced only the closure of Iceland's airspace at the weekend, parts of which were reopening on Monday.
The change to Obama's plans came shortly after a Scottish airline announced it was axing a handful of flights early Tuesday and Britain warned the ash was already causing minor flight disruptions.
Meanwhile, football club Barcelona said it would make a decision Tuesday regarding their travel plans for the Champions League final which they are due to contest with Manchester United in London on Saturday.
British transport minister Philip Hammond said there had been some delays to flights but added Britain was better prepared after last year's travel chaos when Iceland's Eyjafjoell volcano caused major disruption.
"There have already been some modest delays to flights, particularly those crossing the Atlantic, due to the need for those flights to avoid areas of high ash concentration," he said.
"Clearly, this is a natural phenomenon which we cannot control, but the UK is now much better prepared to deal with an ash eruption than last year," he said.
Britain's Civil Aviation Authority said that since last year's crisis it had brought in new measures, including a move that areas of high, medium and low density ash will be identified using data from the Met Office.
Instead of a blanket ban on flights, British airlines wishing to operate in high or medium density ash will now have to have a safety request approved by the CAA.
The request sets out measures airlines will take to reduce the risk of flying through ash.
"None has so far submitted a safety case to operate in high density ash," it said.

A plume of ash from an erupting Icelandic volcano headed for Britain Tuesday, forcing flight cancellations and a change in US President Barack Obama's travel plans.

Greater Western Sydney have spared Jeremy Cameron a potential five-day road trip to Perth by ruling him out for the Giants' clash with West Coast on Sunday.
Cameron, who drove to Canberra for the weekend's game, is fit to play but doctors are not allowing him to fly after he had surgery last week to implant an artificial eardrum.
The plane ban on Cameron, which will expire in time for round 11, means he would only have been able to travel to Perth by road.
It is a scenario the Giants would have considered had this match been a final or a do-or-die game. But the lengthy travel combined with an ankle niggle means the Giants will rest their budding superstar this week.
With the bye coming the following round, Cameron now has two weeks to rest.
"If it was a final, not a problem. It's not a final and it's a two-and-a-half-day drive over there and two-and-a-half days back – it's nearly a week," said Giants coach Leon Cameron.
"Then we have the bye, plus he's been struggling with his ankle each week to get up.
"If we were in Canberra, Melbourne or Sydney and he wouldn't have to fly, he'd probably drive.
"It's disappointing, but that's what the doctor says – he can play but not fly."
Cameron's absence will be a blow for the Giants – who are aiming to snap a four-game losing streak this week, against the Eagles.
The club are eyeing a possible return for ruckman Shane Mumford, who has missed four games with a knee injury. Mumford ran last week and again on the weekend and will play if he can train fully this week.
"Touch wood, hopefully there's no setbacks," Leon Cameron said. "We'd love him to get a game before the bye."
Despite the Giants' run of outs, their competitiveness in each of their losses has given the coach confidence his fledgling team has progressed this season. "Absolutely we've improved," Cameron said.
"It's frustrating because our best footy can stand up against anyone, a lot of teams can, but it's frustrating we have little fadeouts in patches and as quick as we gain momentum we lose it a bit.
"We have to have periods where, if we can't score, the opposition can't score. Right now we score and the opposition score a bit more."
Cameron said injuries at various times to seasoned players like Mumford, Josh Hunt and Heath Shaw had hurt.
"Mature players definitely make a difference – when they're not there it hurts you when you want to make it a 0-0 situation," Cameron said.

The Gandy dancers were not really dancers of the traditional sense but Railroad section crews who would sing a rhythm, partly to pass the boredom and partly to create a timing to repair or align railways (tracks). They supposedly got the name Gandy from the "Gandy Tool Company" (might be mythical) who manufactured some of the tools like the Picks, Shovels and Lining bars called a "Gandy pole/Bar" which basically was a long straight pry bar (a long hand lever) with a sharp pointed end which the men used to to align the tracks and / or replace railroad ties. It's well known that these guys were called Gandy dancers for the way they used those back breaking levers in unison as well as the rhythmic ...
like cadences and dance like mannerisms to prevent the trains from derailing by lining (aligning) the rails and tamping the bed of ballast beneath them.
Gandy dancer is a slang term used for early railroad workers who laid and maintained railroad tracks in the years before the work was done by machines. The early section workers were mainly African-American and Chinese Section workers, while Italians, Irish, Mexican (traqueros) and Native-Americans made up the rest.
Another theory about it's name is that the rails were heavy and made heavier as they where somewhat anchored to the ground, and typically a large crew of 8 to 12 men would move the rail together, shuffling carefully in time to the music and supposedly looking like a flock of waddling geese. This apparently led to some people calling these particular section workers "gander dancers," reference to the Geese, which was later corrupted into "Gandy dancers."
Though rail tracks were held in place by wooden ties and the mass of Ballast (crushed rock) beneath them, each pass of a train around a curve would, through centripetal force and vibration, produce a tiny shift in the tracks on each pass and over time could move the rails many feet. If allowed to accumulate, such shifts could eventually cause a derailment; work crews (the Gandy's) had to pry them back into place routinely. The dancing part would refer to the movement of the lever they used in rhythmic unison to adjust or moves the rails. The bars they used were the "dancers" and how they would make those lining pry bars dance. These Gandy songs also might be the evoution of the Blues.

It's no secret that the Phillips family is in turmoil following the publishing of Mackenzie Phillips' "High on Arrival," and it looks like sister Bijou Phillips has been through the ringer.
The singer/actress was spotted at a Los Angeles equestrian center yesterday looking pretty rough as she finished out her horseback riding session.
Out on the promotional trail, Mackenzie Phillips was spotted returning to her New York City hotel after making an appearance on the "Today" show today (September 24).
The former child star looked to be in a good mood as she smiled for the paparazzi, sporting a maroon top with slim fit jeans and black boots.
Lending some sisterly support, Bijou Phillips was spotted on her way to visit half sister Mackenzie Phillips at the Van Nuys Police station earlier today (August 28).
The "Almost Famous" hottie has paid multiple visits to her incarcerated sibling since her arrest earlier this week at LAX International Airport.
MacKenzie Phillips was arrested earlier today (August 27) at LAX International Airport for alleged possession of crack cocaine and heroin, breaking reports tell.
The actress, 48, has had a long battle with drug addiction, which is what led to her termination from the show One Day At A Time. During her arrest, Phillips was allegedly carrying the drugs in balloons and baggies.

The 5th Annual South Florida Wake Association (SFWA) Pros and Joes Wake event was held on November 12th, 2011 in West Palm Beach at beautiful Lake Okeeheelee. The event was a success highlighted by incredible riding from both the Pro and Amateur riders, excellent weather, a wide variety of sponsors and a great crowd.This year's event Pro List included Scott Stewart, Daniel Powers, Nicola Butler, Steele Lafferty, Adam Errington, Zane Schwenk, Josh Palma, Andrew Adkison, JD Webb and Phil Soven. Not to be outdone, the amateur rider list included some up and coming names like Noah Flegel, Keenan Allen, Robby Holihan and soon to be known Juan Mendez.
The tone of the event was set by the smooth vocal stylings of the Dano-the-Mano and overall this year's event boosted the best all around level of riding seen in all five past events. In addition, this year's event included filming via helicopter. The resulting footage was amazing and available to be seen on the SFWA website, http://www.sfwake.com.
The SFWA is proud to host this event each year but the hosting of the event would not be possible without our sponsors. The sponsors this year included South Florida Mastercraft, Motion Watersports, CWB Board Co., Red Bull, Muscle Milk, Broward Motorsports, Jamba Juice, Exceed Wetsuits, Nacho Bizness, Wakeboardingfilms.com, Boca Raton Helicopters, R2R productions, Evidence Clothing, Virtue Wakeskates, Nike 6.0, Billabong/Von Zipper and Just-In-Time window tinting. Again without our sponsors the event would not be possible. In addition, the SFWA would like to thank the event volunteers and Zane Schwenk. Zane is a great ambassador for the sport of wakeboarding and it is through his help that this event happens each year.
The tournament is simple; each pro is paired with three amateur riders to form one team. The teams each take two sets. The score for each team set is added together for one team score. From there first to fourth places were handed out along with a best crash award. The trick level was insane this year with numerous wake-to-wake sevens being thrown by the am riders. In the end the winning teams were as follows (Click the Read More link to see winners and Pictures):

The evolution of polarization and spin angular momentum (SAM) in periodically rocking superlattices (PRS) is investigated. Unlike in the birefringent crystal, they exhibit unusual properties. The evolution of polarization shows many remarkable trajectories and the SAM oscillates inside the PRS. The results may find applications in polarization-state or optical SAM control.

Right now, I'm working for the Dept of the Treasury. My intention is to go 'up or out' within the next year. On a more personal level, I'm trying to be as social as I can to make up for the drudgery of work, catching up on all the reading I didn't do in my 20s (a lit minor will do that) and gaming. I recently switched from weight-loss-focused cardio to mostly strength training for my workout, and I'm excited to be healthier than I've been in my entire adult life.
Movies: American Splendor, The Godfather, Blade Runner, anything Monty Python and anything by Edgar Wright. Ant-Man was glorious, even without Wright.
Shows: Community and Game of Thrones are as close to "mainstream TV" as I get. I love cartoons if they're "grownup-friendly." Been a Doctor Who fan off-and-on for twenty years, finally caught up on the modern series. The Flash has been my big deal so far this season.
Music: Synthesizer pop, especially on the gothy side. Power metal and prog metal, not big on thrash and 'mainstream' stuff. Funny music always gets my attention. Concert bucket list is Bowie, Cheap Trick, and Erasure atm.
Food: Beef Stroganoff, Tex-Mex, Japanese. I like fried food too much, but I've cut back significantly.
Games: I love the Ratchet and Clank series, the Metroid series, Fallout series...I desperately need to finish Mass Effect II.

text: The new year is just getting started, and although I'm not a big believer in resolutions, I have made at least a few goals for myself. One basic one that I try to adhere to (and too often stray from) is to only buy what I absolutely love, and what I believe I will be wearing forever (or at least for the next ten years). I'm less inclined to succumb to the tempting fast fashion fix when I have a something greater and more beautiful that I'm longing after and saving up for, so I have vowed to spend my money on a few great pieces from designers that I obsess over rather than squander it on ephemera that gets consigned to a corner in my closet. Top on that list of designers is Bernhard Willhelm, whose outrageous designs never cease to shock, surprise, mystify, and mesmerize. The spring collection is no exception, with a candy raver's palette of jarringly clashing colors and prints, all put together with a daring sense of irreverence and tongue-in-cheek humor. Perfect for the 2013.

It is recommend that you go to a hospital to have any injuries tended to whether you're pressing charges or not. STD issues may need attention. You won't be required to disclose who raped you. The visit will be documented should you decide to press charges at a later date. Because post-rape treatment (or the rape-kit process if you're reporting the rape) can feel humiliating and frightening, you can have a rape crisis worker and/or a good friend accompany you. In the USA, you may get access to a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) who is specially trained.
You can ask for the morning-after pill to eradicate a possible conception if you wish. This can be taken up to 72 hours after the assault. Because of the personal philosophies of some doctors or nurses, they may not offer you the morning after pill, but you do have a right to have access to it – so do ask if you're not offered it. If you don't want to take the morning after pill, it's most important that you know a rape-related pregnancy puts you under no obligation to remain with your partner or return to your ex-partner. Also, bear in mind that the morning-after pill is available over-the-counter in many places.
Try to find a practitioner or a place that has expertise in sexual assault so you're not wounded by a health provider's ignorance- for example, some doctors have told women that what happened isn't real rape and otherwise discouraged them from seeking help - or made inferences about their mental health. You don't need this. Rape crisis services may know a practitioner who is sensitive. Please get as much support as you can. You deserve it. Your journey will be made a little easier with people who are on your side. Rape crisis services are there for you to use (see this page). You can also join and post on Pandora's Aquarium, where there are many other survivors of partner rape who will support you.
Your self-care is most important at this time. Be very kind to yourself as you recover, and please remember that what has happened to you is important - you are important
Wishing you Healing and Strength.

Well Played: Monica Bellucci Brings Dolce & Gabbana Florals To Life
Is there anyone in the world who wears Dolce & Gabbana better than the brand's longtime muse, Monica Bellucci? I think not. The 47-year-old mother of two (seriously) is flawless and all, but — that dress. I'm enamored of the obscenely gorgeous photorealistic florals the design duo behind the Italian fashion house conjured up for their Autumn/Winter collection, and this sexy sheath looks even better on voluptuous Monica than it did on the runway clotheshanger stand-in. Divine.

The week after the Grammys, the awards ceremony for commercial pop music in the United States, there was a tsunami of learned commentary and analysis about it in the press. I don't just mean on YouTube threads and teenagers' blogs ("yr band sucks! justin wuz robbed!"), but in newspapers and digital journals that also have an opinion on postfeminism and the government of Egypt.
I couldn't believe the numbers of artists and intellectuals whose passions were stirred: whose song was genius and sophisticated and whose was stupid and boring; which collaboration was cynical and who was selling out. You'd think they were weighing Cicero against Voltaire.
The seriousness was baffling, directed at an institution that is rating artistic products with about as much aesthetic and intellectual variation as an array of McDonald's hamburgers. Guys, you're arguing about how much mustard and how many patties.
Every piece of music causing these apparent schisms – from Lorde's bird-like singing to Daft Punk's electronic buzzing – is a song, a very simple and codified form. Never does the discussion about the worthiness of each song step outside itself and question the worthiness of songs themselves. No surprise here: Pop music is by far the most conservative art form there is.
Why is that? Possibly because it's so lucrative, and so there is no pressure on it to change; I don't know, possibly because it is easy and pleasurable and so its followers aren't the kind of people to demand challenges. They are happy with one fixed form for all music, called the song.
A song is a short composition for voice and instruments. It is a piece of sung poetry set to music. It is usually only a few minutes long. In popular music, a song follows a very strict pattern: There are verses, then a refrain, repeated several times. Sometimes there is a short passage of variation called a bridge. In hip hop, the verses can be chanted rather than sung, but the principle is the same. Generally the words are meant to represent the personal emotional state of the singer. The vast majority of them are about romantic relationships, although this is not a necessary condition. All songs – all of them, every single one, that is to say 100 per cent – must have a four-four time signature.
What is wrong with songs? Absolutely nothing. Songs are great. I love songs. I sing them in the shower sometimes. They can be poignant or cheery or angry and they can have catchy and satisfying melodies. There's nothing wrong with songs.
But they are one fixed form among hundreds of musical possibilities. There are literally thousands of other forms. Some of them have names – symphonies, tone-poems, fugues, variations on a theme etc. – but the most admired composers in history have tried to create their own forms, and have written pieces that have no strictures as to length, rhythm or instrumentation. The obligation to include words and a singer is intellectually limiting. Only a tiny portion of music history involves a singer and a lyric. Songs in music are generally thought to be a minor form.
In case you think I'm just in love with the past, there are thousands of performers of contemporary music who don't see themselves as part of the classical tradition, who work with contemporary electric instruments, who don't bother with songs either, who create soundscapes without singers, and those are hardly nostalgic. Just as there are poets who don't write limericks.
I also love a well-turned limerick. But imagine if every poem were a limerick. Imagine if the great poetry competitions stipulated that every poem submitted must be a limerick, and there were then 20 sub-limerick categories (contemporary limerick, adult limerick, urban limerick, emerging limericists), and then one category for every other form, called "other." Would you not get bored with limericks? Would you not start turning solely to the "other" category for the most interesting new work?
The song is the musical equivalent of the limerick. It is a form that has reached mass popularity, and that's great, but I'm wondering how its hegemony can possibly last. It's been the dominant musical form since the advent of mass media itself – so let's say about 100 years – and nobody is bored with it yet?
In every other art form, there have been, over the past 100 years, calls for insurrection, for the abandonment of formal convention. Many of the most popular forms – the painting, for example – have roken down and no longer dominate their field. To tell a visual artist that she must keep her work to coloured pigments on a two-dimensional surface would garner you nothing but a baffled sneer.
Every other art form has had its manifestos, its cries for shifts beyond fixed forms and expectations. We have had demands for novels that aren't fiction, poetry that isn't lyric, classical music that isn't emotional, cinema that isn't narrative. And we've had successful products from each of these radical denunciations. I'm not just talking about obscure intellectuals, either: Some of our most famous artists are people who have abandoned fixed forms and genre expectations. (Andy Warhol became a millionaire and a pop icon through a kind of conceptualism; Godfrey Reggio made the plotless Qatsi movies international box-office hits; Marie Calloway is the obsession of every stylish young person in America because of her non-literary, non-novel novel … the list could go on for pages.)
So why are we so stuck on the song? I'm so bored with it. Aren't you, all you bearded, Marxist, feminist, Alain-Robbe-Grillet-reading pop-music intellectuals? Why are you guys so complacent? Why are you so square?

Faking it isn't easy, even for 49ers' Kaepernick
By JOHN KRYK, QMI Agency
Those belly-fake, option-keepers we see the NFL's new-wave quarterbacks executing aren't quite as easy as they might appear.
Last Saturday night in their 45-31 defeat of the Green Bay Packers, the San Francisco 49ers ran seemingly half their plays out of the pistol (or short shotgun) formation.
When quarterback Colin Kaepernick hands off either to Frank Gore or LaMichael James up the gut, that's easy enough. But when he fakes the handoff and pulls to run, it's not that simple.

Key Bank
One of the best regional banks to consider is KeyCorp (KEY) which is up 45% year-to-date and delivers a 1.7% dividend yield. Trading at $12.44, new investors can buys shares of the bank at book value and for only 14 times trailing earnings. Over the past six months, there have been four separate instances of insiders buying, and those trades are now paying off handsomely.
KeyCorp has greatly improved in loan growth and loan quality, and are likely to funnel their increasing profits through to shareholders in the form of dividend increases and share buybacks for many years to come.

Armenian tile makers and potters in Israel
Armenian potters from the famous pottery center of Kütahya were brought to Jerusalem during the early days of the British Mandate to repair and maintain the tile work on the Dome of the Rock. Because of the Armenian Genocide in Turkey, those potters stayed in Jerusalem. According to Henry Glassie: At the beginning of the twentieth century, half of Kütahya's workers were Armenians. They left to repair the tiles on the Dome of the Rock, never to return, and today their descendants make a variety of Kütahya çini in Jerusalem.[1]
- The city of Kütahya in Turkey, birthplace of the Armenian ceramic artists, members of the Ohannessian, Balian and Karakashian families, has been the center of a unique ceramic industry since the post-medieval period, with Armenian artists in its vanguard since the eighteenth century. As early as the fourteenth century, and mainly in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, one could discern large groups of Armenian artists creating ceramic tiles for wall decoration used in churches and mosques, as well as ceramic ware.[2]
The Armenian potters moved to Jerusalem with their families, at the invitation of the English Pro-Jerusalem Society. David Ohannessian, a master painter of ceramic decoration and a designer, was to be in charge of restoring the tile work on the Dome of the Rock. In 1916 he and his family had been deported from Kütahya, and along with Armenians deported from elsewhere in Anatolia, made the difficult journey through the Syrian desert, primarily by foot, stopping in Aleppo to recover from the hardships of the forced march. Sir Mark Sykes, the British diplomat and friend of Ronald Storrs, then the Military Governor of Jerusalem, found Ohannessian in Aleppo and gave him the means to travel to Jerusalem to offer advice on the restoration of tiles on the Dome of the Rock. In 1919 Ohannessian resettled in Jerusalem. He returned to Kutahya early in 1919, under the auspices of the British Mandate, to bring ten Armenian ceramics workers back to Jerusalem with him, including the master potter Nishan Balian, and the painter Megerdish Karakashian. The project of restoring the tiles was delayed because of financial and other limitations.[3] According to local Armenians, the Armenian ceramicists were not allowed to fix the Dome of the Rock decoration due to opposition by a Turkish Waqf member, the work being finally done under the remote supervision of a Turkish architect from Istanbul in 1928.[4]
However, because the genocide in Turkey had resulted in the death and deportation of a huge proportion of the Armenians in northwest Anatolia, the Armenian potters in Jerusalem decided to stay. David Ohannessian opened a pottery workshop in the Old City in 1919 called Dome of the Rock Tiles, selling his dishes, tiles and pots mostly to wealthy British and local residents and receiving commissions for monumental new works around Jerusalem. In 1922 Nishan Balian and Megerdish Karakashian went into partnership and opened another pottery shop referred to as the joint workshop on Nablus Road just outside the Old City. The partnership between Nishan Balian and Megerdish Karakashian lasted many years. Their sons ended the partnership, and now have separate pottery shops.[5]

1. Re: Drilling, Hierarchies, Dimensions, AWMnasar.ali-khan at -Oracle Nov 14, 2012 9:25 AM (in response to cheuyi)The dimension members have to be unique in OLAP.
You can concatenate level id with the dimension member to make dimension members unique at each level of OLAP dimension. This is a common practice.
Lets say one row in your relational TIME dimension table is:
year_id = 1
year_desc = '2011'
quarter_id = 1
quarter_desc = 'Q1-2011'
month_id = 1
month_desc = 'Jan-2011'
and you level ids in olap are defined as 'YR_LVL', 'QTR_LVL', MTH_LVL'
This can be loaded into your OLAP time dimension as 3 time dimension members:
time = 'YR_LVL_1'
time_long_description = '2011'
time = 'QTR_LVL_1'
time_long_description = 'Q1-2011'
time = 'MTH_LVL_1'
time_long_description = 'Jan-2011'
You can either do the concatenation setting in OLAP time dimension definition in AWM (without making any change in relational table or view)
or in your source sql view that is "mapped" to OLAP time dimension.
2. Re: Drilling, Hierarchies, Dimensions, AWMcheuyi Nov 14, 2012 7:34 PM (in response to cheuyi)In other words, please correct me if i'm wrong, if the relational table doesn't have year_id, quarter_id, month_id as three different columns or doesn't have any data to define them, I will need to build a Time Dimension with a structure defined by levels and keys for each level ?
Thank you again

BERLIN (Reuters) - German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said on Tuesday that France had received a "small warning" when Moody's stripped it of its triple-A rating, but cautioned against over-dramatising the cut.
"We got the news last night that our most important partner had received a small warning from a ratings agency," Schaeuble said in a speech to the Bundestag lower house of parliament.
"France's rating is still stable, one shouldn't over-dramatise this. We all have an interest in everyone in Europe living up to their responsibilities."
The ratings agency cut France's sovereign credit rating by one notch to Aa1 from Aaa, citing an uncertain fiscal outlook and deteriorating economy.

Mashable this morning reports that HP is releasing a digital picture frame called the Dreamscreen. At first glance this thing looks like a tablet PC or perhaps even an e-reader, each of which would be great, but…it's really just a big iPod. Not even an iPod Touch.
The Dreamscreen will show pictures, play music, and show movies, all things that digital picture frames already do. It will connect to the Internet over your wifi, so you can…no, no web browsing…so you can use Facebook, Snapfish, or check weather reports. Who doesn't need another way to get weather reports?
HP boasts that the Dreamscreen has "touch-enabled controls" which fooled Mashable into saying it has a touchscreen, but really this just means the controls are dark and hidden until you touch them, but they're just regular old buttons. The lack of a touchscreen means that the virtual keyboard they provide is navigated using their remote control – you have to scroll to each letter you want to type and hit "okay". If tiny little phones can have keyboards, why can't this 10″ tablet? I am NOT using Facebook with a hunt-and-peck keyboard I control with a remote.
Ultimately, I have no idea why HP would release this thing. The Dreamscreen just doesn't fill any gaps in the market. It isn't as useful or versatile as a Netbook or tablet PC, and it's more expensive than a digital picture frame. The glossy UI is still quite clunky, so the approach of targeting entry level users with ease-of-use isn't going to work. It definitely won't attract many buyers at $249 for the 10″ or $299 for the 13″.
If HP was paying attention to the market, they'd give us a touchscreen wifi device with almost full PC functionality (or at least web browsing and media playback), ideally with an e-reader built in, all for $250. Many netbooks aren't far off from this spec already, save the touchscreen. A product like that would sure scare the Kindle team, but for now they can breathe easy.
I hope the Dreamscreen is just HP's way to dip its toe in the water and get its manufacturing line set up for a real tablet PC…we shall see.

More children in safe, supported families thanks to the reform of child care system in Georgia
TBILISI, Georgia, 6 October 2011 - The Minister of Labour, Health and Social Affairs Mr Andrew Urushadze, Head of the Social Service Agency Mr Irakli Nadareishvili, and UNICEF Representative in Georgia Mr Roeland Monasch are visiting a family with two foster children in Rustavi, Georgia to see how the ongoing child care system reform affects children and families.
The children being visited are among many others who are benefitting from the reform - the main goal being that every child in Georgia grows up in a family environment. Considerable efforts are now underway to enhance foster care services throughout the country. A large targeted outreach and recruitment campaign to inform and attract potential foster carers has been conducted. Training for new foster carers is underway, and placements of children identified as suitable for foster care is happening.
Thanks to the reform led by the Government of Georgia and supported by USAID, UNICEF and other partners, the number of children living in institutions has reduced from 5000 to 915 over the last five years. The total number of institutions have reduced from 46 to 18 during the same period. This decrease has been due to a number of factors including development and improvement of relevant legislation to reduce administrative barriers for a child's reintegration into its biological family, promoting alternatives to institutions like foster care, small group homes and adoption; strengthening the role of social workers; and establishment of regional bodies of guardianship.
This year has seen major progress. 224 children who could not stay with their biological families have been successfully placed in foster families rather than in institutions. 3 large institutions have been closed so far, with 5 additional large institutions to be closed before the end of the year. The refurbishment of 25 new small group homes is now underway to expand the number of quality alternatives for children in residential care.
For foster care to be successful, social work needs to be strengthened. A total of 50 new social workers have been recruited, trained and placed into the Social Service Agency.

Finn Crisp Originals
Finn Crisp Originals are hands-down my favorite crackers. Excellent for dipping into CIBO pesto sauces and really good w/cheese too. Also good w/sardines if you like that sort of thing. Thin, super-crunchy, and w/a hint of rye/caraway, these go down easily. Lots of fiber too so they help scrub out your insides too ;-)

The safe-driving tips presented here are intended only to serve as basic guidelines for safe vehicle operations and do not cover all situations or regulations. When conditions restrict visibility, reduce your speed so you can stop within the distance you can see ahead. Never use the size of your vehicle to assert your right of way. Always make a full stop before entering a crosswalk, then check for traffic before entering the intersection. Maintain a four second following distance between your vehicle and the one ahead of you, and increase this distance when roads are icy or wet. Never pull directly behind another vehicle to get it to speed up or change lanes. Always check the road ahead carefully before passing. When stopping for a school bus or railroad crossing, give warning to vehicles behind you, use four-way flashers as an additional warning. When being passed, slow down. Avoid parking on steep grades. When it is necessary to stop on a shoulder or roadway, use required emergency devices. Reduce speed when entering curves. Check to see if way is clear before turning or changing lanes. Plan your route carefully when backing up--the driver is responsible for safe backing, even if a helper is used. Never permit vehicles to trap you on railroad tracks, and do not shift gears crossing railroad tracks. Always know the clearance height of your vehicle and roadway conditions that might affect clearance. Use caution and courtesy when crossing narrow bridges. Make sure handholds, steps and shoes or boots are free of ice, snow or mud when climbing into a vehicle. Never jump down from a vehicle. Use extreme caution when smoking in or around a vehicle and never smoke during fueling. Be aware of traffic slowdowns. Slow down and use caution in school zones. Reduce speed and maintain control of your vehicle in high winds. Gear down before starting down any long grade.

We just arrived back from Sharm and couldn't fault a thing with it. Resort was nice and the hotel was good quality, big rooms and very clean. We went as a family, 2 adults and 2 kids and there was lots to do - good few day trips and a child friendly options at mealtimes etc. I was only on the phone with them for about half an hour, but he answered all of my questions and was very knowledgeable. I thought it was very good customer service, so we decided to book. He sent us out all our information quickly and I thought the process of booking and our holiday with purple travel went very smoothly. I would certainly consider booking again!Visit Mark Warner Holidays for Summer Sun 2017

Cavus is a family run vineyard nestled in the hillside of the Stag's Leap appellation in Napa Valley. If you are familiar with Stag's Leap you know the region is famous for producing rich, robust Cabernet Sauvignons. Our first release was the 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon.
Some of you may know the story of Cavus but we think it is worth sharing with new friends. Darryl Browman has always been a wine enthusiast. His passion for sharing things he loves was a catalyst for starting the vineyard. He also wanted the vineyard name to have personal meaning.
So Cavus, The Cave is a personal tribute to friends, good fortune and life. Darryl and two friends were skiing in Argentina when they took a wrong turn and found themselves on the backside of the mountain with no way out. They built "a cave" and the three friends settled in for the night not knowing what the future would bring. As good fortune would have it they were rescued 24 hours later, tired, thankful and full of joy.
The experience reinforced our philosophy on drinking good wine: why wait for a "special occasion"? Celebrate life each day and always drink good wine.
"...Cavus is a tiny property, and only a small amount is produced, so I will keep my comments short. Dense ruby/purple, with notes of spring flowers, blue and black fruits, licorice and a hint of charcoal, this wine is ripe, full-bodied, rich, and another terrific 2013. Drink it over the next 15+ years."
93 points - Robert Parker

"I don't think God is through with me," John Edwards mewed in his post-trial, sin-confessing press conference Thursday. And that seemed to rile many fans of God out there, from the scholarly to the sarcastic.
Before hitting some of the high -- or low -- lights of God's SBI (sins batted in) stats, let me note that this is a line you never hear from winning pitchers or election victors or anyone afloat in public favor.
Stars and athletes chiefly thank The Chief when they're clutching a shiny chunk of trophy. (Noted exception: Tim Tebow has the grace to thank God when he loses, too, as well as every other waking moment.)
No, the mere-unfinished-creation line seems to be exclusive to losers or folks in the hot seat who have escaped official punishment but fear for their public image.
Who's going to quibble with God on this? Can you be seen casting slurs on God's forgiveness? Indeed, theologically, is creation ever done? Aren't we all works in progress? (Progress toward what,you ask? Take that up with your conscience, in private, please).
Still, Edwards' attempt to deflect an onslaught of public disgust, didn't fly with many folks.
Robert Wright, a senior editor at The Atlantic and author of The Evolution of God, saw it coming years ago with Edwards', a foreshadowing the I-am-a-mere-sinner dodge.
This is, in a sense, one reason God's forgiveness is an endless resource -- because sin is so understandable; however grave our ultimate transgressions, they often begin with a slight all-too-human misstep, and the rest is all too human as well. "I am like anyone else," Edwards said in a 2007 interview. "I revert to bad, selfish behavior." But, "No matter what you do, he (God) will forgive you."
Humorist Andy Borowitz is having none of that. He channels a snarky voice-of-God with a fantasy of an Almighty press conference:
Let me make this very clear," a visibly angry God told reporters. "I have no plans for John Edwards, unless you count the one that involves plunging him into an eternal pool of fire.
While the question of whether God is finished with Edwards (or anyone, as long as they breathe) is unanswerable, it appears we are not finished with him in this lifetime.
Politico's 10 best reactions to the verdict included one in the religion motif from Alexandra Petri, Washington Post blogger. She notes public opinion...
...will not rest until he is declared ritually unclean by everyone under the sun.
DO YOU THINK... You are finished with Edwards?

I remember my school days when the Principal of our school would often tell us to appreciate life and live in the moment, as if there would be no tomorrow. I would use this as an excuse to spend a chunk of my saved pocket money on gums and candies. In my heart, I knew I was wrong. Looking back now, I think I probably wasn't.
Living in present doesn't necessarily mean to resolve our present desires urgently. In fact the reality calls us to go through even bitter moments fullest without ignoring present-connection. I would say your Principal confused you!
I give this thing to importance because, I noticed most of the schools (in my local) also started preeching the same without considering how the students will actually receive! This subject became more of a "quick – advice – package" element than sharing a way of living
In fact it seems kids and teens naturally goes through present (as they are less currupted) and this advice should go directly to parent-age people who starts losing observation/presense towards present!
Yes, that is one way of looking at this preaching: to give in to the temptation at the expense of future. Now, see this from another point of view. I was saving my pocket money, trying to reign in my desires, but for what? I had no ultimate goal in mind. I just did it because I thought it was 'bad' to spend the money. When in school, we study hard and resist social interactions, telling ourselves that college life would be better. When in college, we do the same, telling ourselves, that life would be better when we get a job. And when we get a job, we realize that life was best when we were in school. The best days of your life are the present ones, irrespective of the stage you are at.

By the time most celebrities are done striding down red carpets, posing at parties and chatting up press at the Toronto International Film Festival, there isn't much time left for, well, actual movies – and horror buff Eli Roth can't stand it.
"All I want to do in my free time is see movies," Roth said.
"It's such a tease. It's torture, actually, to know that these movies are playing in theatres and you can't go see them."
The 40-year-old multihyphenate actor, director, producer and writer – he directed the Hostel horror films and starred in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds – is in town primarily to promote his new film Aftershock.
Directed by Nicolas Lopez, the gory, grisly disaster flick follows six middle-class Americans – including Roth, who also co-wrote the film – partying it up through Chile before a devastating earthquake initiates a terrifying chaos, exacerbated by rampaging criminals sprung from the jail.
Though he's had a full publicity plate, Roth has filled pretty much every spare moment with screenings.
He rushed out to an early morning showing of Harmony Korine's edgy Spring Breakers, then dashed off to a screening of the Snoop Lion documentary Reincarnated. He also found time to squeeze in Paul Thomas Anderson's buzzed-about drama The Master and Brian De Palma's erotic thriller Passion.
But he was still left wanting more.
"I'm on this weird festival high where you don't know what day it is, you don't know what time it is," Roth said with a laugh.
"It kills me that there's these movies that I want to see – and I can see them in this beautiful theatre on this big screen – [but] I can't see them. It's torturing me, actually."Report Typo/Error

Howard appalled by Saudi beheading
Page Tools
All decent people would be appalled at the callous beheading of a United States hostage in Saudi Arabia overnight, Prime Minister John Howard said today.
An Islamic extremist group linked to the al-Qaeda terrorist network displayed photographs of 49-year-old aviation engineer Paul Johnson's severed head and body on a website.
Shortly afterwards, as group leader and believed head of al-Qaeda in Saudi Arabia, Abdulaziz al-Muqrin, deposited the body in Riyadh, he and two other top militants were surrounded by Saudi security men and gunned down.
"All decent people will be appalled at the callous beheading of the United States hostage in Saudi Arabia, Paul Johnson," Mr Howard said today in a statement.
"It is a sickening reminder of both the face and behaviour of international terrorism.
"This evil act was without any conceivable justification."
Mr Howard, who like his US counterpart, President George W Bush, will soon be campaigning for re-election as being a strong leader in the war against terrorism, said the civilised world could not be intimidated by such barbarity.
"The government warmly welcomes the swift and reportedly successful response by Saudi authorities to Mr Johnson's murder," he said.
"It is believed that the al-Qaeda leader in Saudi Arabia was killed in the Saudi response."
Mr Howard extended his condolences to Mr Johnson's family on behalf of the Australian people.
Mr Johnson was the third American killed in the past 10 days in the Saudi Arabian capital Riyadh, a city which is reliant on the expertise of foreign workers in the petrochemical industry.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
HI, Thanks for your question. My name isXXXXX and I am here to help you today. I will be happy to help you with your follow-up questions also. I need few details.
Have you noticed a reduction in this swelling in morning?
Does this remains same all the time?
Can you notice a pitting area if you press this swelling?
yes in the morniing my ankles look almost normal
pretty much remains the same thru out the day well today it looks like it went down some
yes if press down i see some pitting but very very light doesnt stay for long
Any swollen veins on your calf?
no not at all
Any shortness of breath specially on lying down flat?
nope no shortness of breath when lying down...no shortness of breath when i go to bed at night...when i go jogging i dont feel out of breath or anything of that manner
Thanks a lot for your input.
I am sorry to hear about your problem.
According to the duration of your symptoms and as per absence of symptoms i asked for, i don't suspect anything serious in your case.
Yes i agree that heart, liver and kidney diseases can cause this but there has to be symptoms which present with the swelling.
Many a times this swelling is without any cause and it gets better itself.
you just have to follow few steps.
Don't sit for long with legs hanging on chair.
Sleep with a pillow under feet.
Don't sit for long and try to move around in between.
High sodium is not the likely cause in your case.
aww ok i see
i had a full cardio echo and treadmill test about a year ago and i was perfect so thats why i didnt think it was heart
Well with heart problem, the swelling should be extensive (although not necessarily) but the breathlessness is usually there too.
Because fluids in heart problem gets accumulated in lungs too to cause breathlessness specially while lying down.
So i think it's too early with these symptoms to suspect anything serious.
Just keep yourself under observation and if swelling goes away after following my advise, nothing else will be required.
If it worsen then see your doctor but i am hopeful that you will remain ok.
Any question?
ok thanks doc im thankful for your service

New York (UPI) Dec 24, 2013
With the film "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom" scheduled for U.S. release Christmas Day, a former fellow prisoner remembers how he and the anti-apartheid revolutionary who became South Africa's president spent the holiday during their five years together in prison.
Christmas was marked by "camaraderie, mutual sharing and [a] lighter spirit" than usual, but no gifts or special food, said Saths Cooper, then a member of the anti-apartheid Black Consciousness Movement. Their biggest moment was to have a visitor -- and that didn't happen unless Christmas fell on a weekend.
Cooper, president of the International Union of Psychological Science, was in his 20s in 1977, when he and Nelson Mandela spent their first Christmas together at notorious Robben Island Maximum Security Prison off the coast of Cape Town. Mandela was 59.
Mandela, who Cooper affectionately refers to by his clan name "Madiba," had been at Robben Island since 1964, serving a life sentence after being convicted of conspiracy to overthrow the state. Cooper, joining Mandela in October 1977, was sentenced to 10 years for supporting Mozambique's independence movement.
Over the five-year period, the older and younger activists often disputed politics. Cooper considered Mandela's multiracial approach to ending apartheid a form of apartheid itself. He advocated a black identity separate from any white or multiracial identity.
But discussing any of this was dangerous, no matter what the occasion, Cooper said via email.
"All such information was strictly coded, as we were precluded from talking about other prisoners, politics, and generally what was going on inside and outside prison," he said.
"However, Madiba was given some latitude to discuss family members who were political, as he'd made a case that these figures were responsible for taking care of his family whilst he was in prison."
If Christmas fell on a day other than a weekend, Mandela and Cooper had to wait until the following weekend's normal visiting hours to be able to have a visitor, he said.
Winnie Mandela, Mandela's wife at the time, "usually visited Madiba and invariably sent her good wishes to me," said Cooper, who knew Winnie Mandela since 1969.
Cooper said he was usually visited by his wife or mother.
"We'd share information from those visits, sated with good memories," he said.
Visits weren't private but rather conducted by phone through Plexiglas, with one prison guard, known as a "warder," next to the prisoner and another next to the visitor.
"Our time out of our cells on holidays and weekends was from after 8 a.m. till just before 4 p.m.," Cooper said.
Christmas gifts weren't allowed in prison. Inmates could receive money for toiletries, writing materials and food items. The money was kept by the prison.
Communication by letter was also limited, Cooper said.
Cooper allowed himself to be considered a "B-Group Prisoner," "which entitled me to an extra letter and visit per month," he said, explaining that he and his fellow post-1976 prisoners refused to be classified, "as we likened this to racial classification."
Mandela was an "A-Group Prisoner," which gave him more purchasing privileges, Cooper said.
Christmas cards were allowed, "but a card was construed as a letter and many of us preferred letters with more content," Cooper said.
Even with a letter, "censorship was severe," he said.
"I often got a letter starting, 'Dear/est Saths, I wish to ...'" followed by "a window/cutout by the censors, with another line in the middle of the page, followed by another window, the pieces patched together with cello tape," Cooper said.
"So you see, 'Windows' appeared in prison long before Mac and Microsoft made them famous!" Cooper joked.
Yet Christmas still held its magic, Cooper said.
"We tended to feel the burden of imprisonment a little less and there was something akin to cheer that we allowed to envelop us," he said.
(Judy Kuriansky, a New York clinical psychologist at Columbia University Teachers College and chairwoman of the Psychology Coalition at the United Nations, is a trustee of the New York City Peace Museum and editor of "Beyond Bullets and Bombs: Grassroots peacebuilding between Israelis and Palestinians," who has known Dr. Saths Cooper for years and profiled him on video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eA6yb5xt1hQ.)

Buying a home is a huge purchase for you. Here are some "smart" tips for you:
Offer to Purchase: Although not often explained to a buyer, this "binder" may have full legal force and hold you to a deal. Make sure to have it reviewed by your attorney and that it contains the words, "memorandum of understanding only – purchase and sale to be signed by all parties within seven days; failing which the offer to purchase will become null and void." Be sure to give yourself contingencies for all inspections, obtaining a firm mortgage commitment, Compliance with Title V (septic), and the sale of your existing home, etc.
Purchase and Sale: Although it says standard, it is not. There are legal terms and clauses in it that are routinely modified and negotiated by attorneys with riders and addendums. Don't put your broker in a position where you are in essence asking them to act as your attorney. This is not the place to save money.
Inspections and Preliminary Title: This part of the process allows for your inspections. You have the right to back out of the deal or renegotiate based on information learned by way of these inspections. Try to review any easement, conservation and survey issues along with title V (septic) reports and zoning issues prior to the end of your contingency period. Better to see what limits on the property exist now rather than just before closing.
Lender Issues: Work with an experienced and reputable mortgage broker or lender. There is a lot involved in qualifying someone for a loan these days. Be honest with your broker. Run a credit report on yourself before you look for a mortgage. There may be errors or items that need to be resolved prior to submission of the loan application.
Remember: Although the lender's attorney may have some obligations to you as a consumer, they don't represent you. When offered, purchase the owner's part of the title insurance to transfer your risk of most title problems not necessarily a concern in this closing but may surface when you resell or refinance. The one time fee is worth the coverage. Also, obtain the correct home owner's insurance. The lender's minimum may not be sufficient for you needs. If your property is in a flood zone, buy flood insurance without question.
Closing: Try to review at least the settlement statement prior to the closing. These are traditionally not available until very near the closing due to late arriving information. Since you are not familiar with the form and some of the costs, you should have someone review it for you. At closing, review the plot plan to see if it conforms to your understanding of the location, size and shape of the lot. Consider recording a homestead declaration at the time of closing. The lender's attorney will usually prepare one for you for a small charge.
Post Closing: It is a good idea to have the locks changed and confirm the utilities have been transferred to you. You should request a package of the signed documents. Many closing attorneys can now have these scanned and emailed to you.
ENJOY your new home!

Splashing fun at Darling Harbour playground
We rarely make a trip to Sydney anymore without stopping at the new Darling Quarter at Darling Harbour.
If you don't know what it is then you need to pack your kids into the car right now and head down there. (Insider tip: The car park there has some of the cheapest parking in Sydney. $10 a day on the weekends and $14 if you get in early during the week.)
Darling Quarter is the newest precinct in Darling Harbour with shops, restaurants, large grassy areas for festivals and of course a giant playground for kids.
My girls love it. Before it was built we used to go to Darling Harbour so Kalyra could ride on the carousel.
We went to the Sydney Motor Show this past weekend and after we had our fill of checking out the lastest models, we walked straight over to the park.
It was the first time Kalyra bypassed the merry-go-round to head straight for the three- metre-high slide and flying fox.
I am so glad that Craig and his dad were with me, because last time I was there, on my own with the girls, it was packed and I had to keep one eye on Kalyra swinging around, and the other on the pram while chasing Savannah on her 'I'm now walking' exploratory mission.
Often on the weekends a busking jazz band will set up and bring a little peace to the frazzled parents trying to keep their children safe.
The girls favourite section of the park is the water area (take a change of clothes or some swimmers). Savannah is not brave enough to take on the water pumps yet, but she loves playing in the streams and experimenting with the gates to see how the water directions change (really great science lesson).
Lucky it was a hot day because she soaked herself from head to foot. Kalyra had a ball jumping and splashing around and I had a ball watching my baby's little personality start to show itself.
There is no timidness whatsoever about that girl. She knows what she wants and heaven help the person who gets in her way.
It was her gate and she happily told those who tried to move it with a wave of her hand in their face and a gentle 1-year-old shove.
Failing to heed my warnings, I picked her up and whisked her away for a clothes change and a visit to the Macau food and music festival that was happening on the field next door instead.
The girls had their playground fun, now it was time for mummy and daddy to dig into some good food!

THE FACTS: Monta Ellis had 22 points, whie Mike Dunleavy and Larry Sanders added 13 each as the Milwaukee Bucks kept the Washington Wizards winless with a 101-91 win on Friday night.
The Bucks (3-1) took the lead on Ekbe Udoh's three-point play with 0.7 seconds left in the third quarter. Milwaukee scored the first 10 points of the fourth quarter to take an 85-72 lead with 7:32 to play.
Bradley Beal, who led Washington (0-4) with 22 points, was ejected along with the Bucks' Brandon Jennings when the two got into a pushing match with 23.7 seconds to play.
QUOTABLE: "That's what teammates are supposed to do. That was a great job. That's what we've got to do. We've got to make our mark. When somebody fouls us like that, we've got to react."
-- Ellis on Jennings coming to his defense after Beal fouled him.
THE STAT: The Wizards are now 0-4 after they began last season 0-8.
TURNING POINT: After the Wizards fell behind by 13 in the first 4 1/2 minutes of the fourth quarter, they could not get within five points again.
QUOTABLE II: "I don't know what it was tonight. We were on 72 ... it felt like eternity."
--Washington coach Randy Wittman on his team's cold streak.
HOT: Udoh and Beno Udrih combined for 11 straight points in the Bucks' 13-point run.
NOT: The Wizards missed 12 of their 16 shots from the field in the fourth quarter..
GOOD MOVE: Milwaukee coach Scott Skiles kept Ersan Ilyasova on the bench after he cooled off. Ilyasova had all 11 of his points in the first quarter, and didn't play at all in the fourth quarter.
BAD MOVE: Beal elbowing, then shoving his hip into Ellis as he drove for the basket with Washington tailing by nine with 23.7 seconds left. Beal went to help Ellis up, and Jennings shoved him. Both were ejected and will likely be suspended for a game.
NOTABLE: Milwaukee veteran forward Drew Gooden was inactive for what he said was the first time in his career on Friday. He's yet to play this season.
NEXT: Bucks: Saturday vs. Celtics, Monday @ Sixers, Wednesday vs. Pacers
Wizards: Saturday @ Pacers, Tuesday @ Bobcats, Wednesday @ Mavericks

RSPO1 gene is a member of the R-spondin family. It encodes RSPO1 which is known as a secreted activator protein with two cystein-rich, furin-like domains and one thrombospondin type 1 domain. In mice, RSPO1 induces the rapid onset of crypt cell proliferation and increases intestinal epithelial healing, providing a protective effect against chemotherapy-induced adverse effects. This protein is an activator of the beta-catenin signaling cascade, leading to TCF-dependent gene activation. RSPO1 acts both in the canonical Wnt/beta-catenin-dependent pathway and in non-canonical Wnt signaling pathway, probably by acting as an inhibitor of ZNRF3, an important regulator of the Wnt signaling pathway. It also acts as a ligand for frizzled FZD8 and LRP6.
