recommended a mixed constitution, much favoured in the 18th century,
where the virtues are blended of the separate elements of monarchy and
aristocracy, both hereditary, and democracy, which is elective.
Now most of the aristocracy is eliminated from the House of Lords, the
monarchy, which is a very popular institution, has been exposed.
In the old days the Lords sat for shorter hours and peers attended to speak on what they really knew about. Hereditary peers were set at a serious disadvantage through the invasion of the Lords to its present degree by Party Politics, better left to the Commons, with the result of the 1999 Reform which must be objected to on three counts:
Disservice has been done to the hereditaries by the report of the Fabian Commission on the Future of the Monarchy, with their preconceived vocabulary to include such words as 'anachronistic', to imply that time should move forward when it does not have to do so, and 'acceptable' without saying to whom. On the composition of the Lords, they tell us there is a general consensus heredity is not a good basis for government. There has been no such consensus. Before the 1999 Reform of the Lords an opinion poll showed most of the electorate did not want any change without knowing of something better in its place and nothing of the kind has been provided. The Fabian Commission has ignored Burke's advice that our constitution should evolve on a prescriptive or pragmatic and incremental basis to meet a particular need at a particular time.

Yours etc
Napier of Magdala
From Viscount
11th December, 2003.
Many thanks for the Newsletter which I found most interesting. You wanted views on two points:
I would be supportive of this idea, which in my view would be easier to maintain than a peer claiming his title by either a Writ of Summons or establishing their right to be elected when the death of one of the magical 92 takes place. It is indeed very important for the future that some mechanism exists that titles can be properly established and maintained.
for the Excluded Peers
I have always been strongly of the view that the HPA should, on many subjects and occasions, give a representative view of the peerage as a whole through the Association, of matters going through Parliament. I feel we all should be more active and have regular debates on current topics, and make appropriate representation to Parliament in a similar way as any other associations such as for example the CLA do at present. Having said that, I really doubt whether the Monarch would have the time, or indeed she might be advised not to attend such a gathering, if only because, whether we like it or not, the majority of the HPA are more conservative inclined and might appear to be dabbling in party politics. I am though keen on plenary gatherings on a regular basis.
From Lord Clifford of Chudleigh
9th January, 2004.
Sovereignty; Constitution; Flexibility.
that involvement and progress are both motivated by innovation, no one can
deny that change is a necessity. The
speed and manner of any alteration to a tried system dictate the failure or
success of the alteration, the variation of 'a well-tried system'.
The most recent attempt (1998-1999) to reform the Revisory Chamber of the British Parliament (the House of Lords) has been judged by some as 'unfinished business' and this is correct. Not solely because the projected second phase of that Chamber's Reform has not taken place and so resulted in confused, multi-factional 'group thoughts' amongst the Elected Representatives at Westminster, but most obviously because the variation, the change failed to address changes to the elected House of Commons.
The November 2003 Hereditary Peers Association Newsletter
raised, indeed reminded readers of certain valid and crucial issues and
principles upon which the
British, unwritten constitution is founded.
Many Peers, by succession or appointment, will declare their approval
for confirmed changes within the Revisory Chamber, but a return to 'the old
system' is out of the question. Possibly
the following further changes may be considered worthy of digestion and
The House of
Lords: Elected Voting Peers.
Working on the premise that in order to be seen to express their own
opinion, rather than the opinion forced upon them by 'party whips', the
House of Lords (the Revising Chamber) should be totally cross-bench
(independent) save for the obvious church representatives and the essential
legal bench of Law Lords.
The number of Peers with the privilege to vote on any motion to be
equivalent to the number of people elected to sit in the House of Commons.
Voting Peers will be elected by County and the number of Peers per
county would match the number of individuals elected to sit, representing
constituencies within that County, within the House of Commons.
Selection of Voting Peers.
body under the Chairmanship of the Lord Lieutenant of the County (the
Monarch's Representative) and consisting of the following elected
councillors, would agree to the names of Peers wishing to stand for election.
Councillors (up to 10 depending on size of County).
Councillors (up to 20 depending on size of County).
must be understood that District Councillors are drawn from Parish Councils
and reflect the primary echelon in the electoral hierarchy.
Election date would coincide with the date chosen for a General
to operate under the same principle as that applicable to the House of Commons
with the names of the Peers standing to be considered by the Council mentioned
in paragraph 4.
of Post:
a Voting Peer may hold that position for only 5 years and may be reconsidered
as a Voting Peer after 15 years have past since being first elected to that
Patent: These
should remain as an essential heritage of the Kingdom known as Britain. "The essence of the contract (contained in Letters Patent)
should remain that the onus upon Peers is to consult with and advise the
Monarch". This being the case,
every Peer (by succession or by appointment) should have the opportunity to
exercise their responsibility and therefore to speak within the Revising
Chamber; the House of Lords.
as any payment will arrive from the Public Purse all travel expenses which may
be claimed must be at the standard rate.
The rate paid for accommodation and meals must reflect the average rate
charged by a hotel within a 5-mile radius of Westminster.
Taxi fares (R.P.I linked) may be reclaimed by disabled and able-bodied
Peers up to £30 per day. Such a
ruling avoids not only discrimination but also ensures that quintessential
form of public transport within the Nation's Capital is recognised and
supported so discouraging the unnecessary use of private cars.
House of Commons.
members may be titled or untitled though titled elected members of Parliament
(House of Commons) should not be addressed by their title, either in the
Parliamentary Chamber, in Public or in writing whilst holding the position as
a member of the House of Commons.
The tenure of the position as a member of Parliament (MP) should be for
no longer than two consecutive terms (10 years) unless the elected person is
elevated to a Ministerial role when the limit will be extended to 20 years; or
30 years if privileged to become Prime Minister.
Members may not be considered for election unless they have been
employed for at least 8 years and that 3 years of that period of employment
must not have been as a Local or National Government employee.
Prime Ministers should be allowed to hold that position for no more
than 10 consecutive years (two terms).
Ex-Prime Ministers (similar to ex Chiefs of Defence Staff) should
automatically be appointed to the Revisory Chamber (the House of Lords).
Voting System (applicable to all elections):
by post, proxy or in person should be compulsory.
This would not infringe any 'Human Rights Act' clause as no-one has
the right to complain or object to any legislation or suggested law should
apathy overrule responsibility. The Legal System (decided by Parliament) must
be obeyed by all citizens of Great Britain and visitors to this Country must
be aware of the codes which dictate the lifestyle of Great Britain.
system of 'single transferable vote' should be operated as opposed to the
current 'first past the post' system of electing a candidate.
It is only fair to recognise that the majority of the electorate do not
agree entirely with one particular candidate, but do prefer one and select
another as 'second choice'. In
this system the candidate receiving two 'second choice' crosses would
achieve the equivalent to one 'first choice'.
For the electorate, members who are uncertain about any of the
candidates proposed an 'Abstention Box' should be available on the ballot
of the electorate who refuse to vote in person, by post, or by proxy will risk
losing certain benefits which may be received from the Public Purse and, if no
benefits are received by committed to a 6 month term of 'community
of consideration towards and for the convenience of the Electorate MP's,
voting Peers, and members of the European Parliament should be elected on the
same day.
District Councillors, County Councillors and Parish Councillors should be
elected on the same day which would be a different date to that selected for
Members of Parliament. Preferably,
County Elections would be held on different years to National Elections.
most important and essential part of British Democracy must not only obey all
legislation imposed upon its subjects, but also have the right to be briefed
weekly by the elected Prime Minister, and have the right to silence should the
Monarch feel that certain proposed legislation would not be for the good of
British Citizens.
Monarchs role as Supreme Ambassador and promotion of the Country's business
must remain a prime role.
of Chudleigh
Lord Sudeley
27th March, 2007
Dear Sir,
The Department of Constitutional Affairs has disclosed that it has no record of the meeting between the former Lord Chancellor, Lord Irvine of Lairg, and Lord Cranborne (now Lord Salisbury) where the deal was formed to spare temporarily 92 hereditary peers. This must be to the discredit of the Government which professes openness and transparebcy in its dealings for the sake of democracy. All we have is the account in 'Servants of the People' by Andrew Rawnsley, political correspondent of the Observer, which Lord Salisbury tells me is only partially accurate, and that he is keeping his notes of the meeting for his own private use. Here, on a matter of major constitutional significance, was a closed door negotiation, internal deal or 'stitch-up'.
I have a letter from William Hague to condemn the deal; and Lord Howard of Rising (formerley Greville Howard, Enoch Powell's literary executor) thinks that if the hereditaries had dug their heels in, the Government would have backed off. The 'Deal' was a ploy of the Government to split the opposition and Cranborne fell into their trap. As we are now, after Stage I of reform to eliminate most of the hereditaries, owing to a total lack of consensus as to what to do next, no Stage II has been reached and it is thought that this is where we will remain until at least after the next election.
Yours Sincerely

Some view all the Kickboxer sequels as crap and others find them almost as enjoyable as Van Damme's B-movie original. I remember first watching part 2 having a hard time accepting the guy from Step-by-step taking over the series. His voice still cracks me up. Mark Dacascos takes over in part 5 but I hate how the film says Kickboxer 5: Redemption on the cover but the film itself only says 'The Redemption'. Also other than a short reference to being a friend of David Sloan (Sasha Mitchell's character in 2-4), there is no connection to the other films.

Benitses, Corfu Island
|Benitses is a modern, quite big and popular tourist resort in front of a nice beach, at a distance of 12 kilometers Southern to the town of Corfu. The settlement counts some 800 permanent residents.
|Click on images to enlarge
|Benitses Village
|Benitses, Kaizer bridge
|The beach of Tsaki near Benitses
|Close to Benitses, within a private field there have been brought to light the ruins of a villa of the Roman period, with nice baths, well preserved. Visitors are welcome. On the hill above the settlement you will find the springs that the Venetian used for water supply of Corfu. In the same area there is the small church of Aghia Paraskevi with an excellent view of the sea.
At a distance of 2 kilometers northern to Benitses, it is found the old bridge constructed by the German emperor, who used it to go to the beach when he stayed in Achilleion. One of the most worth seeing places in Benitses is the Museum of Sea. The Museum was established in 1989 and it contains exhibits from the exotic seas of Indian and Pacific oceans, but also from the Mediterranean Sea.

You will enjoy swimming at the beaches in front and near the village, or you may pop to the nearby resort of Tsaki or to Aghios Ioannis of Peristeres, as well as to the other beaches of the area.
In case of health problems, you should address to the Health services and amenities of the nearby capital Corfu. Access to the village from the capital (Corfu 12 kilometers far away) is easy by public buses (the blue ones), by taxi and by rented or private car and motorbikes. In addition to the taxis from the town of Corfu, local taxis are available. The small safe port of the settlement offers facilities for mooring to small yachts and boats.

A. Topography of Palestine
B. Cities to Locate
A. The origins of Israel: The Hebrews/Israelites/Jews and the land of Canaan/Israel/PalestineThe name "Israel" comes from one of the ancestors of the people known by that name. According to Genesis Jacob, the grandson of Abraham, had his name changed to 'Israel' by God. His descendants eventually became known as the people of Israel (i.e. the descendants of Israel).
You should be able to identify the following centers of power on a map.
B. Major Powers in the Ancient Near East and their influence on Israel
|I have included in this section a fair amount of detail that may not be presented in class. While you will not need to know all of this at this time, make sure that you (1) know the location of each of the powers mentioned here and (2) have a general idea of why that power is important for our understanding of ancient Israel.
Egypt was a power long before the rise of Israel and remained a significant force until almost the time of the rise of Christianity (although it was under Greek rule for the later part of this period).1. Egypt
The Hittites, located in Anatolia (what was later called Asia Minor, northwest of the Fertile Crescent), fought with the Egyptians at about this time, creating a balance of power that would allow an opportunity for changes of control in Canaan (located within the rectangle in the map to the above). This is likely to be the period at which the Hebrew people took control there.2. Hittites
Three different empires based in Mesopotamia, the land between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers would later dominate Israel.3. Three Mesopotamian Empires: Assyria, Babylonia, Persia
In 333 BCE Alexander the Great wrested Judah from Persian control and took it into his growing Empire. The Greeks dominated the territory of the old state of Israel from 333 BCE till the late 160's when Israel won its independence. Greek thought and customs still continued to have an influence in the region long after this time.4. The Greeks (Macedonians)
The Romans took control of Israel in 63 BCE in the middle of a dispute between two rival Jewish leaders and ruled the area through client kings and direct governors until well after the lifetime of Jesus.5. The Romans
C. Major Periods in the History of Ancient IsraelYou should know the dates for the following periods and be able to give a brief explanation of the name (i.e., Why is the first period called the "patriarchal" period?). There is significant doubt about the dates for the first three periods.
Name of Period
Approximate Dates
|Patriarchal Period or Ancestral Period
|perhaps as early as c. 1850-1700 BCE but possibly later
|Mosaic Period
|perhaps c. 1250-1200 BCE
|This period begins with the rise of Moses in Egypt, includes the departure of the Hebrew people from Egypt, and ends with the death of Moses on the border of Canaan.
|Period of the Judges
|perhaps c. 1200-1020 BCE
|The period of the judges begins with the conquest/infiltration of the land of Canaan and ends with the naming of Saul as Israel's first king.
|The United Kingdom
|c. 1020-922 BCE
|The United Kingdom lasted for a very short time. All Israel was united under Saul, then David, then Solomon. At the death of Solomon the nation divided over the choice of Solomon's successor.
|The Divided Kingdom
|c. 922-721 BCE
|On the death of Solomon the nation of Israel split. The northern ten tribes kept the name "Israel" and the southern tribes adopted the name "Judah". These two new nations coexisted until 721 BCE when the Assyrians destroyed the northern kingdom.
|The Judean Period
|c. 721-587
|After the destruction of the northern kingdom, Judah existed without its northern neighbor until it was conquered by the Babylonians in 597 BCE and destroyed in 587.
|The Babylonian Exile
|c. 587-538 BCE
|Both in 597 and 587 BCE the Babylonians took Judean captives into exile in Babylon. They remained there until freed by Cyrus of Persia in 538 BCE. Some stayed in Babylon even after Cyrus freed them.
|The Persian Period
|c. 538-333 BCE
|From 538 to 333 BCE Judah remained under Persian control. The former nation was now a province of the Persian Empire.
|The Hellenistic Period
|c. 333-63 BCE
|In 333 BCE Alexander the Great wrested Judah from Persian control and began an aggressive policy of hellenization (imposition of hellenistic culture). [The people that English speakers call Greeks called themselves the Hellens.] From this time forward until the mid 160's BCE Judah was ruled directly by foreign (usually Syrian) Greek rulers. In the 160's Israel (originally only Judah but later the old northern kingdom as well) won its independence. The Greek influence remained strong, though, even in this period of independence.
|The Roman Period
|In 63 BCE the Romans responded to a plea for assistance in a dynastic struggle in Israel and took control of the region. They continued the policies of hellenization begun by Alexander.

Super Bowl Recipes: 16 Game Day Menu Ideas
Frozen Footballs by Rust & Sunshine
Super Bowl is coming up fast, and that calls for a super menu of game day foods! We are excited that the Seahawks are in the running but really, I'm one of those that is more looking forward to seeing this year's commercials. It's also a great excuse to entertain friends and try some new recipes!
Super Bowl is a great excuse for me to try making these Reese's Peanut Butter Chocolate Mini Cheesecakes from Gimme Some Oven. Don't they look yummy?
Of course, if I want dessert, I should eat my veggies first…so I'll start with this Out of This World Corn Dip from Inspired by Charm. I love appetizers with a kick, so ours will be spicy.
A great way to get the kids to eat veggies are to disguise them, like with these football Zucchini Fritters from Hungry Happenings.
Deviled eggs is a party classic, but we found this fun football twist on My Recipes!
You can never have too many dips or appetizers for watching the Super Bowl. This Jalapeno Popper Dip from Simply Gourmet is calling my name!
While I'm thinking about jalapenos, these Sausage Stuffed Jalapeños that Low Carb Layla made are making my mouth water!
And how cool is My Own Labels' idea of serving seven layer dip in individual cups?!?!
You can't watch football without some buffalo chicken, why not mix it up with these Buffalo Chicken Cupcakes from Dough Messtic?
These Mozzarella Stuffed Cheese Meatballs from Adventuress Heart are pure genius. Get in my belly!!
Do you love pizza as much as I do, but don't want to serve whole pizzas? Check out these Pizza Stuffed Mushrooms from Laurens Latest. I'm totally drooling over here.
These Corn Dog Tots from A Cozy Kitchen would be the perfect finger food and leave plenty of room on your plate for other items! Make sure you have barbecue sauce, ketchup and mustard available for dipping.
I've never tried Chicken Enchilada Puffs, but I'm pretty sure that Tidy Mom's recipe are sure to go quickly.
As for dessert, I found a bunch to try that would work great for a football party. From cupcakes to ice cream bars, they all look tasty!
Football Field Cupcakes from Cakewalkr
Our Chocolate Covered Superbowl Strawberries
Football Game Cookies from McCormick
What will you be eating during the Super Bowl?
3 Comments
I would be first in line for that corn dip and stuffed jalepenos! Yum.
Such cute ideas, these would be great for a footbal themed birthday party too!

Guidelines on Crosslisting Courses
All of the following criteria should be met for courses to be approved as crosslisted courses between two departments:
- Both departments have faculty members actively involved in the planning of the content and scheduling of the course. Exceptions will be granted only if adequate justification is provided. Crosslisting should generally be reserved for courses taught alternately or co-taught by the crosslisting departments.
- Both departments use the course as a requirement or an elective in their major or minor.
- The crosslisting of the course is requested by, and approved by, both departments through the courses and curricula procedures applicable for the departments and colleges.
- The crosslisted courses are identical in title, content, description, and where possible, course number.
Independent study and special topics cannot be crosslisted with regular courses. However, departments offering special topics may take advantage of an existing course in another department by using the title of that course as title for a specific section of their special topics course. The department must notify the Office of Admissions and Records of the title of the specific section of the special topics course using AdAstra. This does not constitute a crosslisting.
Steps to Crosslist a Course
If Department A has a course which Department A and Department B agree to crosslist under both the Department A and Department B prefix, the departments should follow the steps below.
- Review the University Courses and Curricula Committee (UCCC) Guidelines on Crosslisting Courses above. If the course meets the guidelines for crosslisting courses, proceed to next step.
- Department B should submit the following items through its department and college courses and curricula committees and then to UCCC.
- New or Changed Course Proposal Form (available on the Provost's Site). This will be a request for a new course with copies of course syllabus, library assessment form, Common Course Numbering form, and proposed catalog copy changes.
- Always attach proposed catalog copy for the new course.
- A memo from Department A to Department B agreeing to the crosslisting of the course.
- A memo to the college and university courses and curricula committees justifying the crosslisting, addressing the criteria listed in the UCCC Guidelines on Crosslisting Courses.

By Mimi Hall, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON The Homeland Security Department used its legal authority Tuesday to waive environmental and land management laws, so it can complete 670 miles of fence along the U.S.-Mexican border.
The waivers will allow the department to move ahead with miles of pedestrian and vehicle fence construction as well as roads and detection systems.
Homeland Security, under orders from Congress to build the fence, has run into intense opposition along the border from land owners, ranchers and environmentalists. Many didn't want their land taken or for wildlife and rare species to be disturbed.
"Criminal activity at the border does not stop for endless debate or protracted litigation," Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said. " The waivers will enable important security projects to keep moving forward."
The waivers apply to sections of the border in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. They allow Homeland Security to skip required studies of how its construction projects would affect areas with fragile environments, protected wildlife or historic value.
Although Congress gave Homeland Security the authority to waive the laws, some members were furious. "Today's waiver represents an extreme abuse of authority," House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said. "Waiver authority should only be used as a last resort."
Environmental groups also expressed alarm. "The DHS decision … will jeopardize the economy, quality of life and beauty of South Texas," National Audubon Society President John Flicker said.
It is not the first time Homeland Security has used waivers. In 2005, it waived environmental restrictions to build a section of fence in San Diego. In 2007, it issued two waivers in southern Arizona.
In a statement, Homeland Security said it "remains deeply committed to environmental responsibility" and will make every effort to "ensure impacts to the environment, wildlife and cultural and historic artifacts are analyzed and minimized."

University Park PA (SPX) Sep 12, 2008
U.S. Army psychiatrists may be participating in the interrogation of detainees, while ignoring recommendations to the contrary from professional medical associations, according to a Penn State bioethicist and a Georgetown University law professor.
"The American Psychiatric Association (APA) and the American Medical Association (AMA) adopted positions in 2006 that basically said physicians should not be directly involved in any interrogation of any individual," said Jonathan Marks, associate professor of bioethics, humanities and law, and acting director of the Rock Ethics Institute.
"According to them this is not what physicians should be doing, whether the interrogation is aggressive or not, or legal or not."
Yet documents recently provided to Marks and M. Gregg Bloche, professor of law, Georgetown University Law Center, by the U.S. Army in response to requests under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) reveal that the Department of Defense still wants physicians to be involved in interrogations and continues to resist the positions taken by the professional medical associations.
In an essay in the Sept. 11 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, Marks and Bloche, both co-applicants in the FOIA request, point out that an October 2006 Army memo, known as the Behavioral Science Consultation Memo, seeks to undermine the positions of the two associations and tries to carve out a role for psychiatrists advising interrogators on individual interrogations.
"The Army is essentially telling physicians that during interrogations they are not acting as a health care provider but as a behavioral science advisor," Marks explained.
"The memo goes a step further and suggests that monitoring might actually be helpful in preventing detainees from getting hurt."
According to Marks, who is also a barrister and an academic member of Matrix Chambers, London, the Army is trying to provide rationales to justify the participation of physicians in interrogation.
It is seeking to persuade psychiatrists that there is still a good reason for their involvement, despite the positions adopted by the professional associations.
Other documents provided in response to the FOIA requests also indicate that, as of October 2007, at least five psychiatrists had undergone training as behavioral science consultants after the AMA and APA adopted their restrictive policies.
The Department of Defense memo expires on October 20, 2008, and while its fate is unclear, the government should not renew it, say Marks and Bloche, also adjunct professor, Bloomberg School of Public Health, Johns Hopkins University, and nonresident senior fellow, Brookings Institution.
"There are problems with this memo. If they do revise it, they should embrace the position of the AMA and the APA, instead of trying to persuade physicians to ignore their policies," added Marks.

We haven't had new business cards done up in years since we don't get out much, but recently I thought we should take ourselves more seriously so I had some made up. I have to say these new Luxe business cards by MOO knocked our socks off. They are just amazing in qaulity - the feel of the paper, the weight, the printing quality, even the packaging it comes in - just super nice! It almost makes me want to go out and netowork! So cool.

We made this book for fun for some friends about a year ago, but we have decided to make it public for everyone to enjoy if they so choose.
It is a scrap book of photography and paintings about the travels of a bunnyfish who has left the seas to learn more about the human world above, as well his homesick memories of the sea he left behind. Natural wonders, cities filled with history, beautiful woman he sees and learns so much!
*Note: This is NOT a children's book. Do not purchase this book for a child unless they like nudity and sex!
Prices vary depending on the style of book you decide to buy.
Our opening in Toronto on Thursday, October 1st, was our first in over a year, and what a nice welcome back to exhibiting. The fans in Toronto are lovely and made us feel really welcomed.

Theory C is that Obama just genuinely thinks chained CPI is good policy.
The biggest change from the Romney of 2008, or even of a few months ago, is that he genuinely seems to be enjoying himself.

Both reek of false modesty, but Deen does appear jumpy and genuinely anxious at times.
No one outside the LDS church is genuinely excited about Romney.

Black Shand and Jack were genuinely discomposed at the sight of her tears.
But not all Poles were genuinely resolved to defend the city.
His mind was too genuinely occupied with spiritual problems.
She expressed true sympathy and regret at the untimely fate of Anthony, lamenting him much and genuinely.
1590s, "natural, not acquired," from Latin genuinus "native, natural," from root of gignere "beget" (see genus), perhaps influenced in form by contrasting adulterinus "spurious." [Alternative etymology is from Latin genu "knee," from a supposed ancient custom of a father acknowledging paternity of a newborn by placing it on his knee.] Meaning "really proceeding from its reputed source" is from 1660s. Related: Genuinely; genuineness.

I've no experience of SWISH++ but we have been using SWISH, and more
recently SWISH-E, at this site for a few years.
The original SWISH was only capable of indexing filestore, and given a
top directory would index all files, descending into all subdirectories.
We use SWISH-E in this mode, which is complementary to ht://Dig and most
other search engines which follow links.
SWISH-E has one facility which ht://Dig does not have and is very attractive
for some specialist applications: it allows a search which will _only_
find pages which contain a given search word or words in a particular
META tag. Thus you can have, for example, pages which contain METAs such as:
<META NAME="Author" Content="Ransome, A.">
<META NAME="Title" Content="Swallows and Amazons">
and then allow a search on Author or on Title, etc.
Librarians and others doing systematic cataloguing find this a welcome

Carnival Victory - Western Caribbean: Carnival Victory Cruise Review by toledo
Overall Member Rating
Carnival Victory - Western Caribbean
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
We booked (through Carnival) 2 inside cabins on the main deck, but were told they didn't have any adjoining cabins left. After a month, prices had dropped and 2 adjoining outside cabins on the main deck towards the rear of the ship near the elevators became available for an additional $40 per person. We were also told our fares were lower because of a residency discount (not enough pax from OH). Spirit Air had great rates to Ft. Lauderdale. I tried to get rooms on Priceline for pre and post stays. It only worked post and we got a 4* hotel for $140/night. I recommend More www.biddingfortravel.com to see winning Priceline bids.
Check-in at noon was a breeze, even without a previously completed FunPass. Our staterooms were slightly smaller than a hotel room, but nicely appointed. We had robes and a basket of sample toiletries in the bathroom. The bathroom was SMALL and the single outlet was made for men's shavers only. The two twin beds (pushed together) were comfortable. The kids had 3 single beds (3rd bed where we had a sofa). Closets were large and had around 15 hangers. The rooms were cleaned twice daily, but the cabin steward wasn't the one scrubbing the bathroom. Apparently he has others working for him so I'm not sure how many people were entering our cabins. They only work mornings and evenings. Unfortunately, ds11 vomited in the middle of the room one afternoon and we couldn't reach anyone to clean it up. We even tried the housekeeping pager #. Even though I went on the ship tour, I still had a hard time getting around. 3rd and 4th level hallways don't go through the ship. I thought the decorating was nice and the ship was in fairly good shape...only one carpet stain in the main deck hallway.
THE DINING ROOM FOOD AT LUNCH AND DINNER WAS VERY GOOD. I tried some things that I've never had. I could not always identify everything on my plate, but tried it and liked it. I just bought the Carnival Creations cookbook on eBay for $5. Our picky ds11 ordered off the kids menu and liked that. Most tables are small on this ship, with families sitting by themselves. We got the late seating (8:00) and tried unsuccessfully to change it on the first day. Pizza was good. Deli was very good, but usually a 20 minute line. Yangzee Wok was not good (and we love Chinese). Midnight buffet was beautiful, but food was just o.k. Breakfasts became monotonous. It was the same exact things every morning in both the dining room and at the buffets.
Activities were just o.k.-Men's hairy chest contest (where the female judges got a little out of hand), Survivor Contest (pax voted for best belly-flop), trivia contests, pictionary game, etc. We always found chairs on the deck above the Lido deck, overlooking the main pool and activities. There is even a shady place up there if you've had too much sun. Art auctions appear to be primarily overpriced prints.
Kids' Clubs are good places for the kids to meet others. Often times they didn't care for the activities so wandered the ship with their new-found friends. It did make me nervous, but luckily no problems. o2 is not well run. I went the first night and supervisor had girls for a line across from a line of boys. They were to talk to the person across from them for 2 minutes and then switch to the next person. This went on for about 8 minutes, when she announced, "O.K. Time to sign up for Karaoke!" This did not go over well and most kids left. DD14 went to an 11pm scavenger hunt, only to find 1 other interested teen so the hunt was cancelled. She was the only person to show up for "Designing costumes out of toilet paper", but at least this was at a decent time. If you have outgoing kids, they will make friends on their own.
We went to two shows, the first and the last. They were both good. I loved the last, where pax entertain. They were chosen on preceding nights in the Karaoke bar.
Costa Maya had pristine beaches. Be sure and put sunscreen on before leaving the ship. Also, try and get off the ship right away because if another ship is docking you will have to wait 30 minutes as no one is allowed off during this time. We took the $3 bus into town and walked 1/4 mile to the end of the little "town". We found a great bar on the beach called Pez Quadro. They had swings for bar stools. Lounge chairs were $5, beers were $2, and soda was $1. We ordered shrimp tacos, nachos with everything, and chicken quesadillas for $27. Food was good and restrooms across the street in their hotel were clean. A 40 massage on the beach there was $10.
Grand Cayman was a zoo. There were 5 other ships in port that day. We waited 1 1/2 hours to get a tender. I suggest lining up at the door just prior to the time the ship anchors. I waited to book a Stingray City tour until arriving. That was a mistake. They ended up charging more, but we were able to take a smaller boat out to the reef. Imagine 1,000 people on a reef chasing after 30 stingrays. There were so many boats on the reef that we had to anchor 20 yards out and "swim for it". We had an 11am tour. Try and get an earlier one. Hurricane damage was still evident. The shops were primarily upscale jewelry shops.
Jamaica was our favorite port and others on our ship thought so, too. We booked a horseback riding tour with Hooves. They sent a taxi to pick us up at the port. It took and hour to go 10 miles because of road construction. You will have to deal with half of it if you are going to the falls. Our 2 1/2 hour ride was $72 for adults and $56 for 12 and under. My favorite part was riding along the beach, but the kids liked galloping in the water (and I do mean galloping). That part scared me!! Shopping in town was great. Lots of variety and you can bargain for decent prices. It is within walking distance from the ship. We were only approached once and that was by a taxi driver, asking if we wanted a ride back to the ship.
We did the self disembark as kids are big enough to handle a suitcase and we didn't want to put them out at midnight the night before. This was a breeze, too. Self disembarking is first. An employee suggested we wait an hour until most have exited.
The only real negative on this cruise was at the end (thank God). On the last afternoon, my ds11 began vomiting. After several hours, I called the infirmary, but they were closed. After a few more hours, I called the pursers' desk. They paged the nurse and she had us come down to the infirmary. She confirmed that it was Norwalk Virus. She gave him a shot to stop the vomiting and didn't charge us for it. My husband came down with it the day after disembarking and I followed the next day. I had given everyone in our family the speech about hand washing and I think we're pretty good about it. Our sickness was not as bad as ds11. On the flight back, we saw people from the cruise and asked them if they had been sick. They said 4 in their group had come down with the virus and that someone in the infirmary said 200 people were quarantined. I contacted the CDC upon return and was told there were only 19 confirmed cases on our cruise.
Even considering his sickness, my ds11 still gives the cruise an A+. Everyone really enjoyed it and we look forward to another cruise in the near future. Less

# man hydra
and or
# man medusa should get you started
Is there an easy way of testing a WPA password list automatically on the router?
I am trying to demonstrate the weakness of leaving WiFI on ALSO when not being used.
Alot of the routers come with a default password for the WPA/ WPA2 -PSK key. This is the mac address
followed by a hyphen followed by the serial number of the unit (4 digits).
Obtaining the mac address is easy and creating a wordlist with macaddress - and all numbers from 0000 to 9999 is also easy.
Is there a way to forcibly try all 9999 passwords on the router automatically? As the wifi is not in use I can't deauth a client and taking 2 machines to demonstrate to try and creat a fake auth is too cumbersome.
Any ideas?
# man hydra
and or
# man medusa should get you started
Unfortunately medusa and hydra seem to work for gaining actual access to the router once on the wlan. I am wanting to use something to bruteforce the access onto the wlan. So I need to use bssid and then the password list to test each of the passwords to see which WPA-PSK is correct.
COuldn't find out how to do that with either medusa or hydra.
These are great for gaining access to the router. I need something similar with a "wlan attack" style mode as I am trying to demonstrate the weakness of not changing the WPA-PSK for access to the wlan. Even though technically the password is 17 characters. Only the last 4 are variable.

Hi, I have created sme asp pages that contains GridViews and charts and Buttons, I would like to add a "print " or "export to pdf oe excel" button in order to print he page without buttons (only GridViews and charts)

May 06, 2012 09:20 AM|AmalO.Abdullah|LINK
if you want to print just the grid and charts put them in div
<div id="ReceiptDiv">
your content here
<script type="text/javascript"> function printPartOfPage(elementId) { var printContent = document.getElementById(elementId); var windowUrl = 'about:blank'; var windowName = 'Print'; var printWindow = window.open(windowUrl, windowName, 'left=50000,top=50000,width=0,height=0'); printWindow.document.write(printContent.innerHTML); printWindow.document.close(); printWindow.focus(); printWindow.print(); printWindow.close(); } </script>
<asp:Button ID="btnPrint" runat="server" Text="Print" OnClientClick="JavaScript:printPartOfPage('ReceiptDiv');return false;" />
May 06, 2012 10:35 AM|salim20001|LINK
Thank you, however when I print: the gridviews appear and the chart doesn't appear (a blank image )
May 06, 2012 11:59 AM|anurajp|LINK
You can use Window.Print() javascript function for printing the document. And if you don't want to print the button you can hide the button using CSS, you need to apply like this
<style type="text/css"> @media print{ .button { display:none; } } </style>
Hope it helps
May 06, 2012 02:16 PM|salim20001|LINK
Why the chatrs aren't displayed when I try to print ? (I'm using 3D charts )
Another problem, is when I print, I get the "localhost/MyWebsite/....." on the top of the page and I need to remove it

This code has proven to me. I had a similar problem.

Hello salim,
I think this worked for me.
Just before you initiate the Print function or call any function behind the print button, just hide the button using css display:none or visible:false.
This should work.

· The proprietor of website of the month calls for a chat. "I just want to say thanks for all the plugs," says Frankie Fraser. "Very nice." Not at all, Mad F. Our pleasure. And while you're on, I've got problems with a wisdom tooth. I don't suppose you ever... "Well, if it's giving you jip," says Mad Francis genially. He also thanks us for the idea that he devote the "viewpoint" section of madfrankiefraser.co.uk to the Queen Mother. "I got on marvellous with her," he reminisces. "My sister, who was a famous shoplifter before she married and gave it up, used to supply the Queen Mum with all her stuff. Huh huh. Just kidding." Well, lovely speaking to you, Mad Frank. "And you, son, and you. Be lucky."
· The Coalition Information Centre, some absurd propaganda shop set up by Ali Campbell and the White House during the Afghan bombing, seeks secondments from the civil service. "You will need to be a self starter with good drafting experience," reads the Whitehall job ad. "Knowledge of the war on terrorism, the Middle East and weapons of mass destruction will be desirable." Anyone who spells poorly enough to write a press release and can make a dirty bomb should call Jim Poston on 020 7008 8064.
· Surveillance: Byers affair hero Richard Mottram, whose conjugation of the passive verb "to be fucked" remains such a joy, boarding a Victoria-bound Connex South East train at Lewisham. This is in direct contravention of the veto on those connected with overseeing public transport ever using it themselves, and raises doubts about the whereabouts of his chauffeur-driven car. One theory suggests it was being used to ferry Martin Sixsmith to an employment tribunal, but this remains resolutely unconfirmed.
· Following the Daily Mail's spirited if mildly didactic hijacking of the Queen Mother's death, Marina Hyde rings with a query. Bizarrely, consultant editor John Bryant calls back. So when, Marina asks him, did Mail editor Paul Dacre queue to show his respects to the coffin? "Well," says John, "I wouldn't know." Only there's been so much in the paper, we just wanted to know when he went. "Mm, I would expect that he has not been to the lying in state." Not? "Yes, because I... imagine he will be attending the funeral." Ah, well if that's when he's chosen to pay his respects. "Well, I really just returned your call out of courtesy," says John, and is gone.
· Signs emerge that George Bush is developing a surprising gift for satire. "The thing I admire about this prime minister," he said in Texas, "is that he doesn't need a poll or a focus group to tell him right from wrong." Oh do stop it, Mr President, please, before someone does himself a mischief.

Amazing way to explore some of the little bars in NYC. Guide, Michael Jascz was brilliant, very informative and funny! Would highly recommend to anyone looking to do something a little different in NYC!!- Jade Cousland (TripAdvisor)
New York, NY (PRWEB) June 22, 2012
New York City Visitors are seeing a new line of diverse tour offerings through New York Tours that introduce visitors to the best of New York City Nightlife and Shopping, which are usually only something that New York Locals who have inside connections are able to master. Uncle Sam's New York's line of New York City Pub Crawls and Nightclub Tours gives guests an insider look at the best that New York City has to offer in fashion and nightlife.
There are thousands of bars in New York City, but most of the best ones lie far away from Times Square and the hotel district where most guests of NYC stay. The best bars in New York City, with the most history, charm, and character, are hidden deep in the heart of neighborhoods that only locals frequent. Also, many guests to New York City find that going out without a group can be quite intimidating. Uncle Sam's New York has solved this problem by offering New York City Pub Crawls that introduce visitors to the best local bars in the city.
Unlike other pub crawls, these tours are offered on a weekly basis for groups as small as just the solo traveler, all the way up to groups of 20 guests. Uncle Sam's New York offers three pub crawls week: the East Village Pub Crawl on Monday nights explores the oldest bars in New York City; the Hell's Kitchen Pub Crawl takes travelers back in time to the notorious gang land warfare that used to dominate the West Side of Manhattan; the West Village pub crawls gives guests a chance to live NYC through the eyes of their favorite artists, including Dylan Thomas and other famous artists.
The New York City Nightlife scene is one of the toughest in the world to navigate, even for locals of the city. Guests typically have to wait for up to an hour in lines and then be on the right guest list, with the right amount of people in their group to get into the top nightclubs. Only locals with great connections are able to get in without any trouble. For tourists visiting New York City, the nightclub scene is usually far too intimidating to even attempt. Uncle Sam's New York offers a weekly nightclub tour every Saturday Night to guests from across the world, that offers free admission to a lounge and top NYC nightclub, as well as 2 free drinks.
An imaginative idea stimulated by the "Toy Story" movies is ensured to win over and treat guests to the Big Apple of all generations. Feel inspired and check out the magic and marvel of being a child one more time with the new Toy Story Voyage run by Uncle Sam's New York Tours. The three-hour tour is one of the four New York Shopping Tours delivered by the company. The Toy Story Tour will guide tourists on a New York excursion to the city's most unparalleled toy and concept stores. Participants on this grand tour will be treated like a VIP without the hassle of waiting on notoriously long lines of New York City Toy Stores.
New York stylist, Janet Racy, who manages the shopping tour division of Uncle Sam's New York Tours, constructed the Toy Story Tour for the young at heart. "I have always loved children," said Janet Racy, "and this tour gives moms and dads a shot to relive the magic of their childhood years while also seeing the toys that are the object of their children's wants. It is a unique opportunity for parents and children to share the magic of toys in the retail capital of the world."
Uncle Sam's New York, founded in 2009, has quickly established itself as the leading provider of New York Walking Tours, picking up where the big bus, water, and bicycle tour companies leave off - on foot. "Experience New York City, meet new people, and go home with a story." Uncle Sam's New York fulfills this mission by offering a wide range of regularly scheduled New York Walking Tours, World Trade Center Tours, New York Pub Crawls, New York Shopping Tours, and Private Luxury Tours. Uncle Sam's New York also accommodates large groups for educational or entertainment purposes on any of its publicly listed tours.

Nothing much here today.
Just found this one though - Foolish Interuption. I just hope he didn't waste any cash going to Cheltenham today.
One day, I'll do something so wonderful that the Missus will say "go on Paulie. Treat yourself. Instead of buying me a new hat, why don't you go off to Cheltenham next month and chuck a few quid at some slow bobboes before the poxy flat season starts?"

Toyota has been aggressively trying to win back market share with deals of late, but today it announced details -- and higher sticker prices -- for 2013 for the Toyota brand Corolla and Matrix, Sienna van, Tacoma pickup and Land Cruiser SUV and for the Scion brand xD and iQ.
Here are the features and prices (all prices below plus $795 shipping for Toyota brand models; $755 for the Scions):
Corolla: The compact sedan carries over, albeit with a new grille design. It also gets an upgraded "Display Audio" system standard on the LE and S trims, with a 6.1-inch touch-screen, six speakers, auxiliary and USB inputs and Bluetooth phone and music streaming. The new range of sticker prices will be $16,230 for the base L with five-speed manual to $19,060 for the S with a four-speed (yes, still four!) automatic. The average price increase, says Toyota, is $239 or 1.3%.
Matrix: Carries over -- and still offers all-wheel drive -- but the base model gets an upgraded audio and connectivity system with USB and Bluetooth standard and only other trim, the S, gets the more deluxe Display Audio system. The 2013 price range will be $19,275 for the base L grade with five-speed manual to $22,415 for the S all-wheel-drive with a four-speed auto, up an average of $521 or 2.6%.
Sienna: The minivan line loses the four-cylinder to offer only the 266 hp, 3.5-liter V-6 with six-speed automatic and it remains the only minivan with an all-wheel-drive option. New on the LE trim is an eight-way power driver's seat and four-way front passenger seat and three-zone automatic climate control with separate controls in the rear. The Limited trim gets a standard blind spot monitor; it's a standalone option on the SE and XLE. The 2013 price range starts at $26,450 and runs to $41,240 for the Limited with all-wheel drive, up $466 average or 1.4%.
Tacoma pickup and Land Cruiser SUV: Tacoma get the Display Audio above standard(6.1-inch screen) and a new Limited package for double-cab 4x4s and PreRunners with automatic that includes "leather-like" heated seats, the Toyota Entune voice infotainment system and 18-inch chrome wheels. Also, the TRD Sport package is discontinued. The 2013 price range will be $17,520 for a base 4x2 regular cab with four-cylinder and five-speed manual to $28,090 for a 4x4 double cab V-6 with long bed and five-speed automatic, up an average $159 or 0.6% and reflect an average overall increase of $150 or (0.6%).
The Land Cruiser carries over with a sticker price up $300, or 0.4%, to $78,255.
Scion xD and iQ: The Scion xD gets driver and front passenger seat cushion air bags and improved force limiters for the seat belts and minor interior trim changes. The 2013 xD price is up $400 to $16,545 for the automatic (up 2.5%) and $15,745 for the manual (up 2.6%) Aug. 1.
The iQ minicar, which was new for 2012, makes the optional underseat tray, rear deck box cover and rear speakers now standard and the sticker price goes up $120 to $15,385, or 0.8%.
What Toyota says are the new sticker effective dates: The prices for the Corolla became effective July 9 with start of 2013 production in Japan. North American Corolla production begins Aug. 6. The new pricing for Matrix becomes effective Aug. 7, while 2013 Sienna and Tacoma pricing takes effect with an Aug. 6 start of production. The new Scion xD is effective Aug. 1, the iQ took effect July 2 with the start of production in Japan.
