Tour at a Glance
Tour Overview
Over a milennium old, the fabled city of Gdansk has a storied history dating back to 997 AD. Through the centuries it has been famous for being a rich port, a bustling cultural center, the site of the beginning of WWII and even the birthplace of the Solidarity movement - the trade-labor movement that played a pivotal role in bringing down the Iron Curtain.
You can experience the best of Gdansk during this half-day, guided exploration of the city. It all begins at your pier where you'll board an air-conditioned motorcoach for a picturesque 70-minute drive. As you arrive in Gdansk, its history immediately reveals itself with a drive-by view of its shipyards and Solidarity Square featuring an impressive monument to the striking workers slain by the regime in 1970. Then go back in time as you step off your bus for a fascinating and informative 50-minute, guided walking tour of Gdansk's Main Town.
While much of Gdansk was in ruins following World War II, you would never know it. Meticulous restoration has brought it back to its former glory. As your knowledgeable guide narrates the highlights you encounter, you'll visit such city icons as the Golden Gate, an ornamental 16th-century arch built to allow access through the city's medieval walls. Adorned with gold trim, it features figures symbolizing each of eight virtues: Peace, Freedom, Wealth, Fame, Concord, Justice, Piety, and Reason. Stroll along Long Street, established in the 13th-century as a merchant road leading to the oval market place. Discover how, at various times in history, been the site of executions of witches, heretics and criminals. Your walk toward Town Hall will have you revelling in stunning Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture, so be sure to have your cameras at the ready.
Visit Artus Court, a 15th-century merchant's palace named for the brotherhood of Artur taken from the idea of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round. Pause to marvel at the massive Neptune's Fountain. One of Gdansk's most recognizable symbols, this bronze trident-wielding behemoth was created in 1615. Walk to a waterfront canal before turning up St. Mary's Street with its terraced buildings and quaint shops. Discover the pride of Gdansk: St. Mary's Basilica, the world's largest brick church featuring room for 25,000 worshippers! Enjoy a guided tour of its multiple chapels, elaborate altarpiece, a stone floor with ancient tombstones, a 15th-century astronomical clock, and a calendar of saints. During their free time, intrepid explorers may climb the 400 stairs to the top of the tower to take in a spectacular panorama of the city!
Of course, you'll enjoy some free time to shop for arts, crafts and other souvenirs of your visit. Almost an hour in fact! Gdansk is one of the amber centers of the world, so you my want to pick up a piece of jewelry that features this lovely petrified tree resin. A lovely memnto of a spectacular day spent in this historic city.

Central women's basketball team stumbles in overtime
PELLA— Despite an eight-point lead with less than 5 minutes remaining, the Central College women's basketball squad couldn't hold off a furious Wartburg College comeback that knocked down the Dutch 55-49 in overtime.
"We played tremendous defense in the first half," said coach Mike Jacobsma. "We battled for every possession which put us in great position at halftime."
Ahead 22-16 at the break the half, Central (10-10 overall, 3-6 conference) added to its lead in the first 2 minutes with two unanswered layups. The Knights (12-8 overall, 5-4 conference) responded, coming within one point at 15:43 after making an 8-0 run.
With just 6:08 left, the Knights made a push, tying the game at 40. The Dutch answered with two 3-pointers and a shot from the field, going on an 8-3 run. At 4:20, guard Alyssa Schwartz (senior, Titonka, WCLT HS) fired off a 3-pointer to push the lead to 48-40. But Central was scoreless the rest of the way, with five missed shots and a turnover resulting in a 48-48 tie at the end of regulation.
"After halftime, Wartburg came out firing, and we expected that," Jacobsma said. "We matched up with them for most of the half, but they ended up getting to the free throw line more and they made more layups."
In overtime, Wartburg reeled off seven points, sealing the win. The Knights outshot the Dutch 36 percent to 32.1 percent from the field, and Central was outrebounded 38-36.
Schwartz drained 14 points and picked up seven rebounds. Center Bry Pierce (sophomore, St. Clair, Mo.) scored 10 points and had six rebounds. Forward Nicole Strasko (senior, Roland, Roland-Story HS) added eight points and a team-high nine rebounds. Guard Kalli Richardson (sophomore, Blairsburg, Northeast Hamilton HS) had seven points.
"Offensively we have to get our shots in," said Jacobsma. "Remembering those little details to put us in position to knock down shots will give us the edge we need."
Wednesday Central will take on conference rival Luther College (12-9 overall, 4-6 conference) in Decorah at 6 p.m. The Dutch handled the Norse in Pella January 12, 81-69.
"We played with a lot of heart today," said Jacobsma. "We need to use this game as motivation going into our next conference game."

TWO men who were accused carrying out a violent assault in an Old Town pub have had the charges against them dropped.
Arthur Levett, 27, and Paul Flynn, 52, were to stand trial after pleading not guilty to a charge of actual bodily harm But after the alleged victim of the assault lost interest in the case, prosecutors decided to offer no evidence.
Recorder Sam Qureshi entered formal not guilty verdicts.
Colin Meeke, prosecuting, said: "It became clear that the complainant was not going to attend court and give evidence and that other witnesses had expressed a similar view.
"Witness summonses were sought – in fact there had been an error in issue and service of those. Be that as it may, I have decided to offer no evidence."
The pair were said to have taken part in an assault on Joseph Gardiner at The Globe, in Eastcott Hill, on Sunday, January 6, last year.
The judge also made defendants' costs orders to cover out-of-pocket expenditure by Flynn, of Churchward Avenue, and Levett, of Park Street.

Topic: Dad recoverying, slow but steady
Hello everyone,
My father was diagnosed w/ cc in March 06 and had a successful resection on 4/2/06. (See intro).
Well, he has been doing well. His appetite slowly came back and the doctors at Mayo in Jacksonville, FL are optimistic and have truly blessed us w/ their work.
He was on a feeding tube for just over a month and during that time began developing fluid in his abdomen area. The feeding tube was removed, along w/ his drains, and he began eating normal. The fluid continued to gather noticably so we went in w/ our concerns. They did a CT to determine it was in fact fluid and decided to drain in. They drained 7.4 liters of fluid!! I couldn't believe it. Well that corresponded to ~20 lbs of weight. He went from around 163 to 143 lbs after the drainage. They tested the fluid and found no cancer present. The oncologist was very pleased and said that he probably didnt need chemo but thought it would be wise to continue w/ a chemo regime anyways, at low dose (gemzar + something else). Well, since last Tues. (when they drained him) the fluid has started to build again. The doctors are going to call tomorrow (Wed) to schedule further inquiries, tests, etc.
I'm curious as to if anyone else has experienced this type of fluid buildup/retention and what it could possibly be (and what can be done). Thanks alot!

There are lots of bad guys out there in the cyber world. And those bad guys have created viruses, bots, worms, trojans, spyware, rootkits, and all sorts of sophisticated malware, in an effort to steal your data. According to the Nortn Cybercrime report there are over 1.5 million victims each day. Yet, most people can protect themselves simply by beefing up their computers and reducing their vulnerabilities. Here are seven tips and tricks for keeping your data and online identity safe and secure.
1. Keep your operating system updated.
When it comes to having Windows running smoothly and securely on your computer, too many users neglect to keep their software updated. But it's important to keep your operating system refreshed with the latest security updates and patches, so that your system isn't vulnerable to the plethora of new attacks that pop up every day. In both Windows 7 and 8, this can be easily done by turning on "automatic updating." This will let Windows install important updates as they become available. Alternatively, you can manually install updates on your own, but this way Windows takes care of the updates for you.
2. Always have firewall and antivirus software running.
Most new PCs come with some form of pre-loaded firewall and anti-virus software inside of an Internet security suite, but too many people neglect to keep paying for the suite past the included free trial. The result is a neglected computer running an Internet security suite that is not up-to-date with the latest virus definitions and security patches. Even worse, many security suites will stop working once the free trial is up, leaving your PC unprotected.
I highly recommend Norton Internet Security for both home and small business users looking for an unobtrusive Internet security system. It comes complete with a firewall, antivirus, and anti-spyware features and costs just $49.99 when purchased online via a download. For that price, you get one year of updates, as well as the ability to run the software on up to three computers at once. That is an average savings of $30, compared to store shelf prices.
However, if you're not willing to shell out that kind of money, I suggest downloading a free alternative such as Comodo Internet Security. That said, there are significant benefits to paying for a service like Norton's, such as technical support. Furthermore, most free anti-virus and firewall software are meant for home use only, and are not intended for business use.
3. Keep your system updated.
If I had a penny for every computer I sat down at that wasn't running an updated Internet security suite, well, I would have a lot of pennies. So it's not enough to have a good system running; you also need to make sure that suite is updated with the latest virus definitions and patches.
4. Protect yourself from phishing scams.
Phishing scams happen when identity thieves try to steal your usernames, passwords, and other details by masquerading as trustworthy entities in an e-mail or on a website. Unfortunately, these days the fakes are starting to look more and more genuine than ever—so much that we can all use some help discerning the good sites from the bad ones. Fortunately, Internet security suites like Norton include phishing protection for your browser, while web browsers like Google Chrome also offer built-in phishing and malware detection that are turned on by default.
Alternatively you can use a free browser extension like the Netcraft Anti-Phishing extension, which offers extra insight into the site you're visiting, so that you can make informed decisions before submitting your data and clicking on links on unknown websites. The Netcraft extension is compatible with both Firefox and Google Chrome.
There are over 1.5 million victims of cybercrime each day.
5. Practice safe computing.
There are some simple online practices that can easily help prevent hackers from getting access to your data. For example, never pay your bills or access highly confidential financial accounts while using a public WiFi hotspot.
6. Use a password manager.
For an extra level of security when it comes to protecting your passwords, using a secure password manager is the way to go. In particular, LastPass is one of the most secure online password managers out there, and it's free. The service encrypts your password database and automatically logs you into your account on the site you're visiting. This system helps further protect you from phishing scams and malware.
7. Choose a secure cloud storage provider.
Speaking of password-protecting your data, the number of cloud storage users is growing at a fast pace. According to a press release by IHS Suppli, cloud storage subscriptions are expected to jump to 625 million . So it's especially important to use extra secure cloud storage services, especially if you're using these services to store important business documents.
SugarSync is one such cloud storage service that excels when it comes to keeping your data secure. As a matter of fact, it uses 128-bit AES, which is the same level of protection used for most online financial transactions. It also offers a special plan for businesses which costs $29.95 a month for 100GB of storage that can be shared with up to 3 users. Last but not least, SugarSync has a free personal plan with 5GB of storage and is fortunately just as secure.

Did you know?
The architect used a lotus flower as inspiration for the architectural design of the Sri Sri Radha Radhanath Temple of Understanding.
Govinda's Pure Vegetarian Restaurant and Take-Away is worthy of a visit, as much for the food as the impressive location: Chatsworth's Sri Sri Radha Radhanath Temple of Understanding, the largest Hare Krishna temple in Africa.
Situated on the ground floor of the creamy-walled temple, Govinda's restaurant is a simple, unadorned space, but diners flock here for wholesome vegetarian Indian food, including options for vegans and Jain vegetarians.
The restaurant is open daily. There is no written menu, but visitors are invited to scour the cafe-style counter for offerings that have been freshly created that day.
Favourites include biryani; butterbean or sugar-bean curry; spinach and potato curry; rotis; chilli bites; and samosas stuffed with sweetcorn and paneer. Those with a sweet tooth can indulge in cakes, biscuits and sweets. Dishes are also available as takeaways, giving those in a rush or on a quick lunch break the opportunity to refuel with a warm, filling lunch.
With the country becoming increasingly health conscious, vegetarian restaurants in South Africa are growing in popularity. Gone are the days of dull, uninspired dishes bolstered with lentils and soy; vegetarians are catered for all over the country, from fine-dining and bistro establishments to the simplest of set-ups.
While the menu is impromptu and the décor sparse, the tranquil surroundings and attractive prices of Govinda's Pure Vegetarian Restaurant keep devotees, locals and visitors flocking back for tasty snacks and hearty vegetarian lunches.

It is really really a nice POC !
I would love to play around with it..
I know a little bit of ruby, and it's so cool that you released the code.
what ruby version ?
this could be a man in the middle style exploit, if a client on the network is surfing websites looking for executable files to download, this proxy can modify the binary data on the fly...
its just proof of concept... i never finished it because i became overwhelmed with the amount of work needed just to build a stable proxy that can handle all kinds of traffic, ftp, ssh, http, https etc...
Proxy source
i now understand that i need to build a proxy framework that can handle each protocal then the exploits will come later but i need help doing this...
my life is busy and this is just a hobby and I LOVE RUBY ,-)
if you like youtube...

I just need to get my ruby finger tips on the data 'from the client' and 'to the client'
im sure its so simple and this frustrates me
it drives me crazy because all day i think about the ruby i will write once i can get in controle of the data flow
in the end im sure ill just have to write some ugly ettercap filters and then save the packet to a file, execute ruby script to modify the data then inject it... but that sounds so lame to me and every one loves metasploit
Im reading document packetfu! maybe the place to learn

I originally bought WeatherTech liners for my BRZ and they were a good fit and covered the foot rest well. I then bought them for my Focus ST and the foot rest area is only half covered. Any water/snow/salt will drip down from your shoe or boot and still get onto and into the carpet. The Husky WeatherBeater liners cover the are much better.

Dalai Lama packs UM Comcast Center for address on compassion
Jonathan Pitts, The Baltimore Sun: He pulled on a Terps visor, to the crowd's delight. He rubbed noses with Gov. Martin O'Malley. And the Dalai Lama was met Tuesday with rounds of applause from a crowd of 15,000 at the University of Maryland, College Park's Comcast Center.
"Sit down," the 78-year-old Tibetan spiritual leader said in a firm but friendly voice when he approached the podium and the crowd rose to its feet. "No formality! We are [the] same. … The way we are born, the way we die: no formality."
Clad in red robes and his trademark spectacles, the Dalai Lama appeared…

Topic: New to this Nasty Disease
Wow, am I fortunate to find such a sight. Mom, 77 years young, was diagnosed 10/17/13, Stage 3/4 - 25mm marker at the bifurcation of the liver bile duct with a PLBN tumor in the pancreatic duct. From what I am reading she doesn't appear to be as advanced as the majority of you. They gave us an extremely grim prognosis, but after reading your stories of strength amoung yourselves and/or your family members you have given me some fresh air to breathe in, thank you. She had to have a stent placed which became occluded immediately so a Y metal mesh stent had to replace it. She will start her 3rd round of Gemzar/Cisplatin next week and then repeat scans soon after. Her blood work is looking better as we go along. I was most concerned about her ALKP being elevated for so long, but after reading DukeNukems post, I'm feeling ok about it. Her bilirubin had been extremely high which has affected her short term memory, they say that that is permanent. We take it day by day because each day is truly a gift.
She is Doctoring in the Mayo System out of Rochester, MN. We live in Austin, MN - which is 40 minutes from Rochester - fortunately the Doctors come to Austin, she has a great team. They have been extremely accessible and informative.

ORANGE PARK, Fla. - Alicia Gladden's life was honored by her friends and family Friday night during the Orange Park v. Creekside basketball game.
Gladden died unexpectedly in a car accident on Roosevelt Boulevard in Avondale back in April. Police said the driver of the other car was drinking and speeding and collided head-on with Gladden.
Gladden played her high school basketball at Orange Park High School before becoming one of the key players for the Seminoles in Tallahassee.
When her playing days were over, Gladden became an assistant coach at Creekside High in St. Johns County.
Gladden's parents were standing mid-court Friday night as they retired Gladdens' number, '23,' before the game against Creekside.
Gladden's parents told Channel 4 that she was a player and a coach her cared about her team on and off the court. Gladden starred on the Florida State women's basketball team from 2003-2007. She is the only Seminole to capture ACC All-Defensive Team honors, three times.

This past weekend was the annual guys dove hunting trip down at my In-Laws ranch. Well, technically its gotten so big, that 2 weekends ago was for the old foogies and this weekend was for the younger guys (mostly 30 yr olds). Weather was not very ideal, rainy and overcast, foggy in the morning. Just not very much flying at all. I took a half day Thursday because it takes me about 5.5 hours to get down there (outside of Goliad, Texas). Got in just in time to unload, grab a gun and a four wheeler and make it out to the field. Wasn't going to post these, but since Dyal showed his deer, I thought I'd go ahead and show my huge haul for Thursday night.
I know....pretty impressive. But considering I only shot 4 times, and one was a long shot.....
The rest of the evening was pretty relaxing. I got to enjoy the ranch all by myself. Heated up some bbq that I picked up at Blacks BBQ in Lockhart knowing I wouldn't be cooking. It didn't fare well in the car. The brisket was a bit dry (it came from the end) and the jap cheese sausage was nothing to write home about. Sat out on the porch, watched the stars, listened to nature and sipped on some bourbon.
Friday was a relaxing day. Got up early to hunt, but it was foggy. Never did fire a shot. Came back to the ranch house and saw these guys. 6 turkeys in all.
Joked around with my father in law about shooting one for Thanksgiving, 'cept he doesn't know how to clean one and neither do I. Think we'll have to figure that one out. I didn't shoot anything Friday night, my brother in law managed to nab 1. Pretty bad. Poker and drinking into the wee hours of the morning.
Saturday, I cooked up a mess of ABTs and some ribs for the Baylor game.
ABTs disappeared before I could get a shot of them and this was all I managed to get of the ribs.
These might have been some of the best ones I've done in awhile.
Hunted again Saturday night, but there just weren't any dove. Out of 11 people, I think only 2 were shot. Afterwards, there was a big steak cook. I took my dove and wrapped a piece of bacon around them along with a sliver of jalapeno and some cheese. Somehow, no pictures of dinner were taken at all. I gotta say, this was my 2nd time dove hunting, first time I ever shot one (actually two) and food tastes so much better when you shot it, cleaned it, prepped it and cooked it all by yourself. It was like bites of heaven in my mouth. I just wished the ranch was closer. Hopefully I can get back down there again in October.

Prosecutor, video offer opposing views on Lowe treatment
Published: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at 4:17 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at 7:39 p.m.
Did Gainesville Mayor Craig Lowe receive special treatment in regard to his DUI arrest late last month?
The answer depends on the source you consult.
One day after terms of a deferred prosecution agreement were announced, the state attorney explained that Lowe was not receiving preferential treatment.
Hundreds of people have gone through the same DUI Intervention Program to avoid prosecution, and they received the same terms of the agreement as did Lowe, State Attorney Bill Cervone said.
"I knew from the very first moment when I looked at (Lowe's case) that he qualified. The only question would be, would he ask? And then he did,'' Cervone said.
But on the same day the state attorney insisted that Lowe had not received special treatment, the Alachua County Sheriff's Office released dash-cam video from a deputy's car that appeared to imply that a deputy considered treating the mayor differently because of his position.
The video was from the car of Deputy Lance Pallett, who responded in the early hours of March 21 to the accident scene at Northeast 156th Avenue and Northeast 21st Street.
The video from Pallett's car shows him examining the damage to Lowe's 2005 Honda Civic, which included four blown tires.
Pallett returns to Lowe and asks him again if he is OK and if he needs medical help, which Lowe declines.
But early in the video, a deputy identified Tuesday by the Sheriff's Office as Jessica Rowland is heard off camera telling the mayor, "OK, I can tell by your eyes that you have had a lot more than three beers." Lowe told authorities he had consumed three beers, with the last one around 10 p.m. the night before, according to his arrest report.
"OK, it doesn't really matter the amount that you've had now," the deputy continues, "because ... you're not operating the vehicle. You were in control of the vehicle; you were sitting in the driver seat.
"Umm, we could go a whole other route with that, but because of the job you have, we're not going to," the deputy is heard telling Lowe in the video.
Lowe, 55, was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of DUI with property damage and careless driving.
When asked Tuesday about the video and Rowland's statement, sheriff's spokesman Lt. Todd Kelley said he had not listened to the video in its entirety but would do so Wednesday. He said, though, that he didn't know of any special treatment given to the mayor.
"FHP charged him with DUI, so I don't know if there was any preferential treatment," Kelly said. "It would be preferential treatment if they didn't notify FHP or gave him a ride home. It sounds like they did everything they were supposed to do, but it sounds like they might have been a little slow in notifying FHP.
"Both of the deputies that were there are fairly new. It's understandable they might have taken a little more time with these types of calls and how they are going to handle it," he said.
Lowe declined comment on the video.
"Right now I'm focused on my duties as mayor and my campaign for re-election," he said
Cervone announced Monday afternoon that Lowe had signed a deferred prosecution agreement. If Lowe violates the agreement during its 18-month period, he could be charged with DUI. If he meets the terms, he must plead to reckless driving.
The agreement enrolls Lowe in Cervone's DUI Intervention Program, part of which requires that Lowe surrender his driver's license for 14 days.
Cervone said Tuesday the terms of the agreement are the same given to anyone who enters the program.
Several hundred people have gone through or are currently in the program, which is nearly seven years old, Cervone said.
To qualify for the program, the accident must not have involved other vehicles or have caused damage to the property of others.
While Lowe hit a state traffic sign, Cervone said the requirement is aimed at damage to a private person's home or personal belongings. He said others have qualified for the program despite hitting road signs.
The defendant cannot have a criminal conviction or prior deferral. A dismissal of a prior charge will be evaluated on a case by case basis. Lowe's driving record shows citations in 1985 and 1986 for not having valid tags on his vehicle.
Also, the defendant must have no more than five prior moving traffic citations within the 10 previous years, and no more than one within the last one year.
The defendant's blood-alcohol level must be less than .20. Lowe's levels were .061 and .069.
Finally, the defendant must not have used inappropriate behavior to law enforcement, must not have had a child in the car, must request entry into the program within 30 days of arrest without substantive court action such as the filing of motions, and must not have had controlled substances in the car or on himself.
The conditions to be met are: payment of a $500 charitable contribution and $50 for prosecution costs; 50 hours of community service, including five hours with a victim impact panel; surrendering the license for 14 days if it had not been suspended by the state; alcohol evaluation and treatment if required; completion of DUI school; resolution of any related citations independent of deferral agreement; and, at the end of the 18-month deferral, pleading to reckless driving.
On the morning of the accident, neighbors called 911 at 2:22 a.m., reporting a suspicious vehicle, sheriff's spokesman Art Forgey said. A deputy arrived at 3:08 a.m.
Under Sheriff's Office protocol, accident investigations are handled by the Florida Highway Patrol. Deputies waiting with Lowe for a trooper can be heard on the newly released videotape chatting with Lowe about his role as mayor, his education and the weather.
An FHP trooper who gave Lowe a field sobriety test arrested him and took him to the jail, where he was given a breath test.
Cervone said the machine is highly calibrated and frequently tested and recertified. Portable breathalyzers are often inaccurate and are not admissible in court, he said.

This whitepaper discusses a major new threat vector - "phishing 2.0." While many IT professionals have become less concerned with phishing as it seems these attacks only fool naive consumers, a new generation of sophisticated phishing attacks now target businesses. These phish evade traditional antivirus and anti-phishing products.

A9 TV, July 5th, 2012
(When you said "The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) came in the year 2002" yesterday in your interview with our brother Nadir Alami from the French TNT channel, he forgot to ask during the live broadcast how you knew this. And now he asks your response about this question, if at all possible.)
In the verse of the Qur'an, Almighty Allah says -I seek refuge with Allah from the satan- "A day with your Lord is equivalent to a thousand years in the way you count." The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) has gone to the Presence of Allah in a day and came back in a day. 2,000 years. However there is an error in the Gregorian Calendar; there are two years missing in the calculation of the date the Prophet Jesus Messiah (pbuh) has been taken to the Sight of Allah and his birth at that date. There is a mistake of two years. And that coincides to the year 2002. There are repeating two's. There is a two in the beginning and a two in the end. The repeating two's are very crucial, it is a very important matter. There is a reference to that in many places of the Qur'an, that is a measure. Where does our information about this come from apart from this? There are some people that we are in contact with of course, there are some valuable people.
(Mr. Huseyin Celik said that it was a mistake to close the Halki seminary and that there was no legal barrier in opening the school again, that it could be opened within 24 hours if required.)
He is telling the truth. That is because the Christian-Muslim alliance is a characteristic of the system of the Mahdi. Or else there would be nothing to be called the global dominion of the moral values of Islam. The students of the Prophet Jesus Messiah (pbuh) will definitely act with the students of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and thus they will rule the world. That is an act of the system of the Mahdi. That is a blessed act. It is no problem to educate children in irreligious, atheistic, Darwinist schools, so why should a handful Christians receiving their education according to their own belief then be forbidden?
(Regarding Syrian soldiers opening fire on five Turkish trucks in the Aziz district of Aleppo)
Syria and Iran are in a race to display evil acts in the region. They are under the sway of the system of the dajjal (anti-christ). May Allah guide them to the right path, may Allah save them. May Allah turn them to the belief in the true Mahdi. May He turn them to the brotherhood of Islam, to the belief in the Union of Islam. May He save them from the grasp of communism. Of course it is very important for other Islamic countries to wake up and unite and become pioneers in this respect. Yet if anyone is to assume that role, it will be Turkey. That is the conviction of the whole region, and that is how we believe it would be. Since this is what the hadiths refer to, anything other than this is impossible, insha'Allah. This is how things are rolling and this is how it will continue to happen, insha'Allah.
(About Russia)
They have to talk to Putin. They have to talk to him face to face. He should stop supporting Syria and Iran. That would not serve any interest of Russia. These could only rip off Russia's bond to Islamic world. It would ruin their relationships. If Russia casts Syria and Iran aside, they would come to their senses. They would become more reasonable. They would have to unite with the Islamic world. Other than that, this communist mindset would make them even fiercer.
(Prime Minister of Somalia Abdiveli Muhammed Ali made the following statement regarding Turkey; "At the moment there is something that we call the "Turkish model" in Somalia. What is this Turkish model? Turkey came, you've come here all together and gave us schools, hospitals, water and infrastructure systems. That was what Somalia needed. Erdoğan's coming to Somalia was a miracle for us. We really believe that. It was a miracle coming from Allah.")
That is alright, yet why did Allah give you that pain? Why were those troubles given to you? You failed to understand the secret behind that. You say that, "Schools are opened, meatballs are cooked, we've eaten the rice and we are fed. It was really nice," you say for the coming of our Prime Minister. "Turks are very nice people. They brought us meat, they brought us milk, we ate, we drank and then went to sleep. Thank you very much, can you please bring the rest as well?" Well, that is not acceptable. Somalia is a Muslim country. Their people are Muslims. Why don't you talk about the Unity of Islam? Ask for the system of the Mahdi, ask for the coming of Jesus Messiah. Let the Islamic world be united. We are suffering because of this separation, because of this division. That is the reason for this poverty, this torment. Look how beautiful results are attained only by cooperation. Instead of saying, "Let us unite in the perfect sense of the word, let us become brothers. May Allah remove these torments, these disasters on us," you simply say; "I have eaten my meal, now I want a toothpick". What kind of speech is that? Allah did not send you here to eat and drink and go to sleep. Allah has sent you here to be a servant, to pray, to live Islam, to struggle until the religion is Allah's alone. What does Allah say in the verse; I seek refuge with Allah from the satan; ".. until there is no more fitna.. [..and the religion is Allah's alone.]" Do you see from where Allah wants us to remove fitna [dissension]? From the face of this world. Allah wants that there would be no more dissension in the poles, in America, in Russia, in everywhere. The reason why our Prime Minister sent all that help is because our brothers there were starving to death, and we went there to save them for the good pleasure of Allah. That was a disaster brought upon you by Allah.
Allah tells us that "...obedience to those parents who attempt to lead you away from religion is not acceptable." If she struggles with you because you perform your prayers, that kind of a mother is not acceptable. If she stands against you because you are talking about the facts leading to faith, that kind of a mother is not acceptable. If a person develops an attitude against that, it means that he or she develops attitude against the Qur'an, against the Book of Allah. Then such a person would cease being a mother and become something else. It would be as if she doesn't exist and you should act as if she doesn't exist. If she tries to lead you away from religion, if she doesn't let you mention the Name of Allah, if she doesn't want your faith to get stronger, if she doesn't want you to learn the invalidity of Darwinism, materialism and the evils of the system of the dajjal (antichrist), she is no mother.2012-08-28 13:43:05

Several well-placed storm systems were able to stave off further advancement of drought but weren't enough to eliminate it.
According to the latest "Drought Monitor" report, 31 percent of the country is in moderate or worse drought, virtually unchanged from last week's report.
"There was negligible change in U.S. drought coverage during the seven-day drought-monitoring period, as tranquil weather prevailed in the wake of a pre-Thanksgiving storm across the South and East," said Brad Rippey, meteorologist in the USDA's Office of the Chief Economist.
Improvement was noted in the Northeast, where drought coverage dropped from 7.8 percent to 7.5 percent -- thanks to the Thanksgiving storms.
In the West, conditions are beginning to take their toll. Some ranchers in California, where 82 percent of the state is in severe to extreme drought, are being forced to weigh their options, according to the California Farm Bureau. The rainy season failed to bring the relief these ranchers had hoped for.
"Hay growers are banking on the rain to make it grow, and if we don't get any rain for two or three months, then what has germinated will die," San Joaquin County (Calif.) rancher Denis Lewis said.
Read, "Ranchers weigh options as dry spell lingers."
Others in California are concerned that the big blast of Arctic air could spell drought for yet another season.
"This is also a potential disaster," private meteorologist Steve Johnson told the Fresno (Calif.) Bee in an article here. "The correlation between drought years and extreme cold events is very high."

Christian Broadcasting Network Duped By CFL-Poisoned Foot Hoax
Blog ››› ››› SHAUNA THEEL
The Christian Broadcasting Network's The 700 Club irresponsibly aired a photo that it said "allegedly shows what happened to a man after he stepped onto a broken CFL and his foot became infected with mercury poisoning." But the photos, which have circulated online, are believed to be a hoax because the damage they show is unlikely to have come from the small amount of mercury present in energy-efficient compact florescent lamps (CFLs).
The November 27 edition of Pat Robertson's The 700 Club aired graphic images of a foot that was "allegedly" injured from stepping on a broken CFL:
The images originally came from e-mails highlighting what appeared to be a flyer from Caterpillar equipment dealer WesTrac, but that Australian company said that it did not create the document. The images were later circulated in a Salisbury, MD, fire department newsletter, but according to the website Snopes -- which specializes in exposing online hoaxes - fire department officials later stated that they believe they were duped by an "Internet-falsehood":
Although attempts were made to verify the validity of the information, initial Internet searches provided no compelling evidence to dispute the information. We now believe that the information we used as the basis for our April 2012 Newsletter was an Internet-falsehood which started circulating numerous years ago and had an ulterior motive and purpose.

Inherited Disorders and Birth Defects
Missing 7th Chromosone
Our grandson is missing the 7th chromosome. There is a huge question as to weather the little guy is in fact my son`s child. If our son is tested and has all his chromosomes, then does that mean he`s not the father?
The answer to your question is no – it would be very unusual for your grandson to have inherited a chromosome 7 that is missing a part of it. From your description, most likely your grandson is missing a piece of one of his chromosome # 7 (this is called a deletion). I do not know of any babies being born that are missing an entire chromosome 7 - those pregnancies would always miscarry. Occasionally, when cells divide they do not divide correctly and a piece of a chromosome can break off and be lost. These babies can have growth problems, birth defects and cognitive problems such as learning disabilities or mental retardation.
We would expect that the parents of a child with a chromosome deletion would have normal chromosomes (unless the parent has similar problems as the child). If there is a concern about who the father is – your son should have paternity testing done. The laboratory would look at more than just chromosome # 7, but they look at several different genes throughout all of the chromosomes (your son's DNA) to see how alike or different it is from your grandson's DNA.

Best breakfast I have ever had. Wonderful property managers. Very friendly and helpful. One of the best hotels I have had, period. If you arrive late (after 4:00 p.m. when we stayed), you will need a pin code to get your key. This was sent by email and we only had access to email when we had wifi. The wifi passcode is visible from the entrance door.
The staff and the breakfast were fantastic. The staff was very accommodating, friendly and tried to make the experience as good as possible. The breakfast was the best breakfast I've ever had at a hotel, perfect 10 there. We had a problem with the shower drain which had been clogged and was backing up. The staff fixed it promptly and no other issues. Everything else was great.
locaction - close to the train station
Thia hotel is a budget hotel for people on business trips. No frills, and small rooms, but a good location within walking distance of the city center and very good value for money. The lighting in the rooms was very poor
It was close to the train station Room was not clean
Staff were friendly and helpful with ideas and booking tours. Room clean but small. Fridge or coffee and tea facilities would have been good to have.
Convenience to train station.
location is great ! And the young man in hotel is helpful . I like the breakfast! No
clean rooms, friendly management, family run, goof wifi
Staff. All very helpful. Restaurant staff greeted you with a smile.
Staff friendliness. Good location. The fact that there were mainly dutch and german tourists - and no Brits. Everything was great

Parking area availability and accommodating staff. none that i can think of.
locaction - close to the train station
Not ethical. Owner tried to give us a room with broken beds that were being held up with cardboard. She did let us cancel and brought us to another inn that was wonderful named Pension Schierl. Can only recommend. The place is noisy and under construction (looks like long term projects). Tiny bathroom with a sink in the shower.

Armed police swooped on an innocent man onlookers claimed was trying to sell a gun at a Wimbledon Stadium car boot sale.
Firearms officers sped to the scene and surrounded grieving Clive Terry, who was unpacking bags full of the belongings of his father-in-law John Welch who had recently passed away, Wimbledon Magistrates' Court heard on Friday.
The 42-year-old dad of Pavement Square, Croydon, was shocked to see dozens of armed police officers surrounding him as he tried to unpack his van overflowing with bags on a busy market day.
His father-in-law had been a keen archer and bags full of bows, arrows and leather straps were among the items Mr Terry had for sale before he was arrested on October 9 last year, the court heard.
He denied one charge of possessing an imitation firearm in a public place and was cleared in court on Friday, January 17.
A punter at the busy car boot sale in Plough Lane, Wimbledon, claims to have seen Mr Terry trying to sell a small starting pistol and alerted police.
The court heard how the accused did not know it was in the bottom of one of the bags he had in his van because they had been packed up by his partner Kelly Welch at her father's home the day before.
Speaking at the one day trial, Mr Terry said: "I took the belongings from my deceased father-in-law's flat as a clear out.
"He liked his country sports, he belonged to an archery club and had lots of random stuff."
District judge Barbara Barnes heard the items on display at the car boot included 80 to 100 arrows, a long bow, leather straps and quiver bags used to hold the arrows safely.
The pistol had belonged to Mr Welch, and he is said to have used it to startle cormorants on a lake when he lived on a farm in Walton-On-Thames.
The family took the items to sell to help cover the cost of Mr Welch's funeral after he died on September 13 last year.
Police Constable Paul McElvey was one of the first officers to arrive at the Plough Lane car boot. Giving evidence at the trial, PC McElvey said: "Starter pistols can be adapted and made into very dangerous firearms.
"This one was in its original form."
The court heard how Mr Terry had extensive knowledge of the sale of guns and although he did not attempt to sell the pistol on this occasion, he used to run a shop in Mitcham selling air rifles and items linked to country pursuits.
But after repeated break-ins, he had agreed with police officers to stop selling handguns.
He was acquitted by Judge Barnes.

If you stroll into The Sycamore Kitchen in Los Angeles and stare at the sweets, the Salted Caramel Pecan Babka Roll will likely jump out at you as one of the most unique and enticing treats. And yup, we've already documented it as a winner. But there's a sun shining in the showcase: the Flourless Lemon Custard Cake ($3.00).
That brilliantly yellow sunny center is indeed lemon curd, a dollop of which is dropped into a gluten-free cake made with ground almonds, brown rice flour, sugar, eggs, and brown butter. It's a true butter-fest as the tangy butteriness of the curd complements the sweet butteriness of the cake. And yet the two components offer contrast, with the creamy, custardy curd inside playing well with the chewy, nutty exterior of the cake. The net effect is delicious, decadent richness.
A most miniscule sprig of thyme sits in the center of the cake, perhaps symbolizing, per tradition, courage and happiness. It takes courage to eat cake as others are ordering Sycamore's scintillating salads—but the resulting happiness is as satisfying as, well, a sunny day.

• dissipate •
Pronunciation: dis-ê-payt • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Verb
Meaning: 1. To disperse, scatter, to send in all directions. 2. To vanish by dispersing or scattering, or cause to vanish in this way.
Notes: In 1725 Alexander Pope translated a perfect physical example of dissipation in Homer's Odyssey as, "A lion . . . springs o'er the fence, and dissipates the fold." We in North America are entering that season of early morning mists dissipated by the rising sun. However, fortunes, too, may dissipate, as the bursting of the Great Recession recently reminded us. The noun from today's word is dissipation, and the adjective dissipative.
In Play: Today's Good Word is at home describing the physical world: "Maynard smiled as he watched the wind dissipate the leaves in his back yard and redeposit them on his neighbor's." It is equally equipped to describe abstractions such as, "Blanche's hopes for a peaceful evening dissipated when Harwood invited the boys over to watch the football game."
Word History: This word is built on Latin dissipatus, the past participle of dissipare "to scatter, disperse", made up of dis- "away" + supare "to throw". We find evidence of the root behind supare throughout the Indo-European languages: in Sanskrit svapu "broom", Russian sypat' "sprinkle" and rassypat' "disperse". It might have come to be sweep in English and schwappen "to swash" in German, too, but we expect the [p] sound in Proto-Indo-European to become [f] in Germanic languages. Still, stranger things have happened along the road from PIE to English and German.

BANGOR, Maine — Centuries ago shoes were invented, and soon there was a need for cobblers to repair them. For nearly 10 years, cobbler Jonathan Lambert has been using those century-old techniques to repair shoes at his shop, Yankee Cobbler in Bangor.
Lambert does all types of shoe repairs from heels and soles to orthopedic modifications. But he says a majority of his shoe repairs come from the inability to replace the shoe, or from sentimental value.
"I have a lot of people repairing shoes that their dad had, that were good quality shoes, and now they want to repair them and wear them themselves," said Lambert. "Or, 'I've had these since high school and though I could go buy new ones, I really want to keep these ones going.' I've repaired shoes that were 45 years old."
The history of the shoes is what Lambert enjoys the most.
"When you get a shoe that old that was either Mom or Dad's, or from high school, it kind of gives you a sense of pride being able to continue that history. Going and refurbishing them, making them look practically new, and sending them back out the door to be worn another 10 years," said Lambert. "Some of the shoes have been all over the world."

Euromillions jackpot winner Neil Trotter's name is being exploited by fraudsters who are conning people with promises of a share of his £107.9m fortune.
In the latest email scam from fraudsters, people receive an email which is supposedly from Mr Trotter, from Coulsdon, and says he has decided to give the receiver £1m of his winnings.
Anyone who replies is told this offer has only been sent to 15 people around the world and specifies part of the money should be given to a "foundation or a home for the less privileged to visit and take care of their needs and then you can keep the rest."
The email continues: "Along the Line, everyone I selected persons would be invited to the United Kingdom for a dinner with me and my partner and you would be told show your report on how you spent the money."
Car mechanic Mr Trotter, 41, from Coulsdon, won his massive fortune in March after hitting the Euromillions jackpot after buying a lucky dip ticket.
Mr Trotter's father Jim said the email was a 'total scam', had nothing to do with his son, and was one of many scams that had been circulating about his son.
He said: "Anyone who gets an email or letter should throw them in the bin or delete them.
"It's a total scam.
"It is not alarming to Neil, it just seems to be one of these things in this electronic world that we live in.
"It is a total spoof and it's not happening."
The 69-year-old added: "Another scam is where people are told to send £7 to cover postage and packing and we will send you £2,000.
"There is something like 150 of these going out and there are eight or 10 fake Facebook accounts."
Police have been informed of the fraud and are understood to be investigating.

A DARWEN mum has told how her family overcame adversity when her daughter was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder.
Kia Shaw, 15, was born with Shwachman-Siamond Syndrome (SDS), which affects the pancreas, bone marrow and skeleton.
She was diagnosed with cirrhosis (scarring) of the liver at three months and she was completely immune suppressed and pancreatically insufficient.
She defied the odds by reaching the age of five, as most children with the condition live just three months, and she wasn't diagnosed with SDS until she was seven. Eight years on and the St Wilfrid's High School pupil still has problems with the bones in her legs and has had numerous operations.
The diagnosis changed the lives of mum and dad, Carol and Dean, and brother Braydon, an apprentice footballer at Bury FC.
But they were given support by the Rainbow Trust, which celebrates siblings and raises awareness of the impact of having a seriously ill brother of sister can have.
Carol said: "Kia's brother Braydon's dreams are to play football and I didn't want anything to get in the way of that. I wanted him to be able to lead as normal a life as possible and I wanted to help him achieve his dreams.
"Our family support worker Carol, from the Rainbow Trust, would sometimes take him to and from his football practice when I was unable to because of Kia.
"But more importantly, she would spend time with Kia, which meant I had time to spend with Braydon."
Carol and her husband Dean also lost their home after being unable to pay the bills because of £90 weekly costs of travelling to hospital.
Children's charity the Rainbow Trust offers practical and emotional support to families in the Shaws' situation.
Carol said: "For the first time in years I wasn't alone.
"I honestly cannot thank Rainbow Trust enough for coming in when they did because I don't know what would have happened if I'd actually gone through a breakdown."
