Welcome toNorth Uist
Get the best views of the Outer Hebrides, and watch out for seals, redshanks, and the finest smoked sea trout.
Get the best views of the Outer Hebrides, and watch out for seals, redshanks, and the finest smoked sea trout.
Keep an eye out for seals from the ferry to North Uist - the island has Europe's largest breeding colony, with 9,000 pups born each year. North Uist is also perfect for birdwatchers: the nature reserve at Balranald is the best place to go looking for the secretive corncrake, as well as lapwings, redshanks and oystercatchers.
North Uist has some of the highest peaks on the Outer Hebrides - climb up the steep cone of Eaval on a clear day for glittering views across to St Kilda. You can go sea kayaking and scuba diving, or head to one of the secluded beaches for a chance to watch otters on the shore. For a peak into the Neolithic history of the island, go to Barpa Langass, a 5,000-year-old burial chamber thought to be the burial place of a chieftain. Don't miss a trip to the Hebridean Smokehouse, either, for a real taste of the exceptional seafood smoked in the traditional way.
For more information on North Uist visit the Visit Outer Hebrides website.
The North Uist ferry runs from Uig on Skye, landing at Lochmaddy. The journey takes 1 hour 45 minutes. You can also get a ferry from Leverburgh on Harris to Berneray, and drive south. Vehicle reservations are recommended.
Want to take a look at South Uist? You can drive from North Uist, via a number of causeways.
Looking for the best form of travel to and from our ports? Traveline can help you find the way that best suits you for making your journey using the most up to date information from around the UK for all transport companies.

"I ordered these on begonia paper with yellow lettering. I had a special request with one of the words , and Wedding Paper Divas were happy to speak with me about it several times and print per my request. These announcements are very pretty, and the paper quality is much better than I expected!"
"We were absolutely pleased with the quality of the cards we ordered. We requested a review of the design to make it more personalized, and the promptness of the reviewer in satisfying our needs was impressive. All of our friends who received the cards have told us they like them, and a few have requested info on where/how to get them. We highly recommend this company and their products."
"Great prices, outstanding customer service, seamless ordering as well as the delivery of my proofs!!! What a great company! I will most definitely refer you to all of my friends! Sincerely, Margaret"
"Really nice little card. Keep in mind this is a small card. The font size (9) on the back is so small I need my glasses to read it. Would have liked the option to change the font size. Overall it was perfect for a wedding announcement & reception invite. Mother of the Groom"
"The announcements were exactly what I ordered and wanted. I have already recommended you to a friend of mine whose daughter is getting married in May."

Did jfk try with the executive 11110?
Does a president have power to shut down the federal reserve?
Have an opinion?
What Girls Said 2
Is this for a Govt class? The Fed Reserve is part of the Exutive Branch but the reason the exec branch has gotten so large and out of hand is that once Npresident creates a new institution it is very hard to deconstruct it. Congress has to weigh in and we all know how functional the U. S. congress is. It's come to the point that no matter who is in office Congress is the acting nemesis of PotUS.
Anyways why would we want the Fed shutdown. Do you admire the situation Greece is in?00|00|0
Why would we want fed shutdown? Are you kidding me?
The federal reserve is a private bank that is not a government agency, therefore not account table with the freedom of information act.
It has devalued the dollar significantly and prints money out of thin air wit an endless cycle of debt. It can bail out whoever it likes no questions asked. Its just international banking criminals!
Abraham Lincoln and jfk died standing against the idea of such a system.
You do know that your own government can print money?
Such as jfk put 4 billion into circulation all backed by silver. President nixon was the one who closed the gold window, so the dollar was not backed by gold.
If paper is not backed by gold or sliver where's it's value.
If your American I'm kinda sad to see you don't know about who runs your country.. because it's not obama!
- Show AllShow Less
The federal reserve cause the great depression in the first place!
Don't hold any sympathy for ben who is lier and the the payroll of the banking elite.
even if fed reserve had restored the economy, wouldn't it be a safer approach and honest approach for the government to print money and Control inflation?
Why give so much power to a non government private bank that has no accountability.
Take a look.

There are a lot of fields we don't use in our device inventory, and it just makes for more clutter. Is there any way to hide those unused default fields? i.e. MAC address.

Hi Kent M,
There are many reasons why I like to keep retired devices listed in Spiceworks inventory. Keeping on top of licensing is one as well as being able to rack who has had what computer, last time online etc..
The only way I am aware of is to organise your devices lists. Add devices to their respective lists such as switches, workstations, servers, etc (or sort by location, you're choice).
Now create a Retired (Unused) group and move them when required while at the same time removing their membership to other Spiceworks groups.
Now when you search, if your searching for a particular workstation, select the workstations group and retired (unused) ones won't appear.
I agree it would be nice to simply 'hide' devices but I don''t think this has been implemented as yet.
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.
You may get a better answer to your question by starting a new discussion.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Gentle Barn Foundation, Santa Clarita, CA, USA
I have been a big fan of The Gentle Barn until the last few days.. Several had asked questions for Worthy who was born with Windswept angular limb deformity which should have been corrected when she was a newborn. Worthy is now a yearling and it is now a complicated surgery.
They deleted my post along with others who just asked reasonable questions about Worthy
I only supported them because of Ellen DeGeneres..this was my post I posted under the picture of Worthy below.
I know for a fact there are Veterinarian teaching schools that would waive the fees for surgery. I hope with all my heart that Worthy Thrives and I don't feel Summer was being mean or hateful as some of you have accused. I think people that own horses and love them know that to thrive for a horse might mean something completely different then your perception of thriving, especially if you have little knowledge of horses. If you just think about it for a bit. Horses thrive by grazing, by keeping up with the herd, Worthy is not very old, still a baby. She will eventually gain more weight, which will become the deciding factor as to whether she thrives. Yes it is very sad when you have a horse with leg and hoof injuries. Because their legs and hooves are priority in a horses life span.
I support the Gentle barn's ambitions, but when they ask for money donations, I think their replying to some of the concerns and questions about Worthy is only fair in return. Now a days people and non-profits have their hands out everywhere you go.
I had a filly many years ago born with a double knee and I did reply to the posts out of curiosity as to the prognosis in the beginning with Worthy and I was interested in who was doing the surgery because I do know several Equine Orthopedic Surgeons . My father and Grandfather were large animal Vets. My background is in Rehab for racing Thoroughbreds. I have read others posts requesting the same information. That does not label us as Anti-Worthy by no means. I would think it is because we care and maybe some have the funds to cover your needs but are business people who dot their i's and cross their T's before they hand out funds. Nothing wrong with that. I think the remarks towards those with questions or opinions were tacky and uncalled for. My best to Worthy #Ellen DeGeneres

|Please note: This article is about the courtier. For other uses of the term, please see Goichi (disambiguation).
|Yoritomo Goichi
|1200, Month of the Serpent
Yoritomo Goichi was a courtier of the Mantis Clan.
Death Edit
Goichi was a courtier who loved sake more than any political games. He was part of his clan delegation in the audience held to celebrate the impending coronation of Iweko Seiken as Iweko II and birthday. Goichi was poisoned in the presence of the Imperial Court, and Kitsuki Kira investigated the matter of his death. Shosuro Sakura killed him to send a clear message to the Mantis Clan, who had brazenly interfered in Scorpion affairs. [1]

API: American's Don't Understand Oil Business
Misconceptions about supply, profits run deep.
Most U.S. adults do not understand energy demand and supplies or the role of America's oil and natural gas companies, according to results of a survey commissioned by the American Petroelum Institute.
When presented with 20 multiple choice questions about the oil business, on average more than 25 percent of respondents said they were "not sure" of an answer and in many cases chose the response farthest from the correct answer.
Those surveyed greatly overestimate the amount of oil the United States imports from the Middle East. When asked which country was the largest supplier of oil, almost 60 percent chose Saudi Arabia, which is actually the fifth-largest supplier, after Canada, Mexico, Nigeria and Venezuela. Only one in 10 people correctly identified Canada as the largest supplier to the United States.
Only 8 percent correctly noted that less than 15 percent of the oil the United States consumes comes from the Persian Gulf countries. One-quarter of respondents pegged the figure between 46 percent and 60 percent, three to four times higher than the actual figure.
Americans seriously overestimate the size of U.S. oil and natural gas companies relative to competing companies that are owned by foreign governments. When asked "What percentage of the world's 10 biggest oil and natural gas companies are owned and operated by foreign governments?" 2 percent of respondents knew that all of the top 10 companies fall into that category.
Similarly, only 8 percent knew that ExxonMobil, the largest U.S. oil and natural gas company, was not among the 10 largest oil reserve holders. More than one in three people (36 percent) thought ExxonMobil was among the top three largest companies.
The public also underestimates the continued importance of fossil fuels in meeting global energy demand in the next 25 years, and overestimates the impact renewable sources will have in meeting that demand. While the International Energy Agency projects that 81 percent of global energy demand in 2030 will be met by fossil fuels like oil, natural gas and coal, only 14 percent of respondents chose this answer. The majority thought it would be 61 percent or less.
While the U.S. Energy Information Administration projects that less than 10 percent of U.S. energy use will be supplied by renewable energy sources in 2030, only 5 percent of respondents chose that answer. More than one in three people thought renewable sources would account for 20 percent or more.
People also overestimate the profits of U.S. oil and natural gas companies and have little understanding of the investments the companies are making in emerging energy technologies, API said. On profits, 42 percent of respondents guessed that the industry earned between 16 and 20 cents of every dollar of gasoline sales in 2006. In fact, the industry earned 9.5 cents, a choice (six to 10 cents) selected by only 14 percent of respondents.
On investments, 7 percent correctly estimated that U.S. oil and natural gas companies invested almost $100 billion in emerging energy technologies in North America between 2000 and 2005. More than one third estimated less than $25 billion, the lowest possible choice.
The American Petroleum Institute commissioned the online research by Harris Interactive of 1,333 Americans between May 29 and June 4, 2007.

The bathroom is what killed me the most, the stained toilet and bent up shower rod. It was a last minute trip and this shack was not my first choice. The comforter smelled so bad I could not keep it on me. The jacuzzi in our room spewed out BROWN/YELLOW water and the owner, he said his name was Sonny, refused to apologize or compensate us and insisted it was our problem. The other lady who worked there, Rita I think her name was, insisted that we put something in the bathtub! I took pictures because it was unbelievable. I've never experienced service like this in my life and will never come back again.

Thai Chili Chocolate Ice Cream
Be the first to review
READY IN: 3hrs 35mins
Recipe by Serah B.
Oh. my. goodness. I was somewhat skeptical, thinking this might be weird, but the spicy chocolate sweetness is SO delicious. Yum. Just, yum. This is from The Vegan Scoop. Cooking time is cooking and chilling time. ***NOTE: Nutrition Facts listed are inaccurate!! Food.com wouldn't take "soy creamer" as a valid ingredient, so the listed facts are for dairy cream--much higher in fat.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 medium chili peppers, chopped (Choose variety based on how spicy you want your ice cream!)
- 1 cup almond milk, divided
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot, powder
- 2 cups cream (as in soy creamer)
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 1⁄4 cup cocoa powder
- 1⁄2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Directions See How It's Made
- In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup soy milk with arrowroot powder and set aside.
- Process chilis in blender until smooth.
- Mix soy creamer, blended chilis, remaining soy milk, sugar, cocoa powder, and chocolate chips in a medium saucepan over low heat.
- Stir frequently until chocolate chips are melted, then bring to a boil.
- Once the mixture begins to boil, remove from heat and immediately add arrowroot cream; mixture will noticeably thicken.
- Add vanilla extract.
- Refrigerate until chilled, about 2 to 3 hours.
- Freeze according to your ice cream maker's instructions.

According to the latest rumors, Apple was supposed to send out invites yesterday for an iPad Mini event. Much to the surprise of the many bloggers who reported on the rumor, that didn't happen.
This is not uncommon. Apple is the center of a lot of rumors, most of which don't come true. While I find them a lot of fun to gossip about, I do sometimes wonder how they are invented. That's why I am sharing this infographic today.
PC Magazine put together this infographic as an explanation for the process. As you can see, the rumors could have any number of sources. Once they've been birthed they tend to feed their own growth as they metastasize and sometimes even spawn sub-rumors.
This infographic was originally posted last year, but given the recent falseness of the iPad Mini rumors, it is even more true today than it was then.

"Coachable Goals" (Sometimes called Professional Goals and Individual Goals) are: Future places you want to be that require you to grow and improve as a person to achieve them.
"Coachable Goals" are about people reaching their chosen future career and life destinations.
They are normally individual goals, or professional goals, or family goals or a combination of all three. They are always very desirable and rewarding, because people design them to be.
These new destinations also involve people growing as a person, which produces additional incredible benefits.
The Reason You Engage A Life Coach Is To Complete Your "Coachable Goals"
The reason your life coach coaches you is to make Darn sure you do.
Thomas Leonard created the life coaching process in 1992 specifically to make sure people achieved their professional goals and individual goals. His new "personal coaching" process worked so well that people actually completed their previously out of reach professional and individual goals or coachable goals much easier, much faster and more completely than ever before.
"I pay for my TCC coaching before I pay my utilities. Coaching has been vital in growing our company and prioritizing efforts to reach our goals to easily pay all bills, including utilities."

Maturities, Nonlinearities, and the International Transmission of Short-Term Interest Rates
This paper employs linear and nonlinear Granger causality tests to re-examine the dynamic relation between daily Eurodollar and U.S. certificates of deposit rates during the July 16, 1973 to May 1, 2006 period. This study also conducts sub-period analysis based on the switching regression technique of Goldfield and Quant (GQSRT) (1972, 1973, and 1976). The main empirical findings are (1) Full-sample results show significant bi-directional linear causality from the CD and CD interest rates for one-month maturities and unidirectional linear causality between the EURO and CD interest rates for three-month and six-month maturities. Furthermore, full-sample results reveal for all three maturities. (2) Sub-sample results based on linear tests show a unidirectional causal relation from the CD rate to the EURO rate during the first sub-period for all three maturities. During the second sub-period, however, linear tests uncover a strong bi-directional relation between the CD and the Euro rates for all three maturities. The linear results for the third sub-period reveal mostly unidirectional causality from the EURO rate to the Cd for three maturities. (3) Finally, sub-sample nonlinear causality tests reveal mostly a unidirectional causality from the CD rate to the EURO rate for all three maturities during the first sub-sample, a strong significant bi-directional causality between the two rates for all three maturities during the second sub-period, and an uneven bi-directional causality between the two rates for all three maturities during the third sub-period. Overall, the results of this study show that the EURO rate's role is becoming more prominent compared to that of the CD rate.

Personal hygiene is an important part of taking care of one's self. Although people may be shy to talk about cleaning up after using the bathroom, failing to do so properly may lead to irritation or infection. Two main options exist for personal care after using the toilet: wiping with toilet paper or using a bidet. Both are common, although one seemingly offers better hygiene for users.
While toilet paper may remove some of the fecal matter left behind after using the restroom, it is difficult to remove all traces of feces with dry paper. Consequently, some toilet papers will leave behind small pieces of paper as the user wipes, introducing a foreign substance to the rectal area. A bidet, however, effectively washes away feces and urine by directing a pressurized stream of water at the user's perineal area.
Risk of Bacterial Infection
Washing the rectal area with a bidet after each bathroom use allows both men and women to maintain a cleaner private area. Women also benefit by washing their genitals after urinating. The clean skin created by using a bidet is less likely to allow the growth of bacteria, which may lead to infection or irritation. Conversely, toilet paper is more likely to spread bacteria throughout the genital and rectal regions during wiping.
Spread of Germs
Toilet paper requires users to wipe. Thus, hands are at risk of coming into contact with feces or urine. Even after hand washing, the risk of spreading germs by hand is increased by the use of toilet paper. Bidets, however, never require users to place their hands near human waste. Although some bidet users choose to dry themselves with a small amount of toilet paper or a towel, this step is not required and is typically completed after the perineal area has been washed.
Reduced Irritation
Not all toilet papers are created equally. Less expensive brands of toilet paper may leave users feeling irritated due to the rough texture that tugs and scratches during wiping. Bidets, however, gently clean and many can even be set to use warm water. By reducing irritation, individuals are less likely to suffer from chafing and infection caused by open scratches or rashes.

Blog | BASSCam | Photos | Archive | AOY standings
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — The Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year has come down to two men and one day.
Kevin VanDam blew the field away with 14 pounds, 3 ounces and put the pressure on Skeet Reese. Reese held serve and sits in third place, but with one day of fishing still to go, it's wide open.
Playoffs on ESPN2
Watch the Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year television show in a prime spot on Sept. 27 on ESPN2.
4 p.m. ET: Preview Show
5 p.m. ET: Lake Jordan
6 p.m. ET: Alabama River
Here's a look at the top six coming into the Evan Williams Trophy Triumph, their thoughts about today, their thoughts about tomorrow and their chances of winning Angler of the Year.
Skeet Reese
If it ended today, Reese leads Angler of the Year by 6 points. On the points scale, that's a little more than one place. So, assuming VanDam wins this, which is not a bold assumption, Reese can afford to drop one place.
In his mind, it's 11 to 12 pounds on Friday to be sure. Anything less takes the event out of his hands and puts it in the hands of 10 guys who don't have a shot at winning.
"Kevin definitely put the pressure on today, but it's not like I'm surprised," Reese said. "It's only something he's done about a billion times."
Much was made of Reese's decision to go north on the Alabama River while everyone else headed south on Thursday, but he feels like he made the right decision. He caught the majority of his limit, including his biggest bass, in his initial spot. He eventually moved to the south portion on the river in the afternoon, but his one regret on Thursday was not going back to that first spot later in the day.
"I knew I needed to go back there and I chickened out because I didn't want to make the run," he said. "I wish I would have because I could have caught the kicker bite I needed in there. Then again, I could have caught nothing."
He's also dealing with the fact that he missed some bites today that might have put the event away to a certain extent, but he doesn't seem too worried about what happened, he's more focused on what's going to happen.
When he went to bed last night, he still didn't know if he was going north or south. Tonight, he knows he's going north, back to the same spot because he believes that's where the fish are that will win him his second Angler of the Year title in three years.
Kevin VanDam
VanDam was a completely different person than he was six days ago before the start of the Berkley Powerbait Trophy Chase on Lake Jordan.
Last Friday, he looked a little frazzled, his bite wasn't working and he was very much not the VanDam everyone has grown accustomed to.
After weighing in almost four pounds more than second place on the Alabama River, he was back to his old self. He was cordial on stage, talking about mud, current and a tough bite, but backstage he said he felt like he missed them.
"Tomorrow is my day, I promise you that," he said.
Even if he didn't feel confident, you can pretty much lock him in as the winner. On this river, 4 pounds is nearly insurmountable.
"The other guys in the field have to catch them and Skeet has to have a tough day," he said. "After last week, I knew I would have to win. I was disappointed at Jordan — that was costly."
It may be too little, too late, but VanDam is doing his part now. He sure had made Friday intriguing.
Michael Iaconelli
VanDam's 14-pound day not only put the pressure on Reese, but it officially ended Iaconelli's long shot bid for the AOY title. He did well enough with 10-5 to be sitting fourth in the tournament (third in the standings), but he knows it's over.
"I pretty much knew coming in here that I was fishing for third," he said. "But I've just been putting my head down and fishing hard."
Iaconelli said he'd be happy finishing inside the top five in AOY, but he's not lost on the fact that third-place money is better than fourth-place money.
Tommy Biffle
Biffle made a run at things during the Lake Jordan tournament, but didn't do enough to put himself in a position with a reasonable shot coming to the Alabama River. At this point, Biffle is fishing for third, and it's something worth fishing for.
"I don't know where I will end up after today, but I expect I'll fall a little bit," he said after weighing in 8-9 (10th)."This game here is not about pounds and ounces — it's all about points."
Biffle said he had a lot of bites on the current in practice, but that nothing was working for him on Thursday.
"My goal is just to catch a good bag fishing shallow tomorrow, and I will probably make up some ground in the TTBAOY standings," he said.
Randy Howell
Howell did not have a lot of fun fishing on Thursday. He knew if he wanted to make a move, he needed more than just a good bag. He caught a limit of small spots early and went flipping a jig in grass for the largemouth bite he felt he needed.
He caught the big bass of the day, 3-8, but that's about all he caught. He said he felt like he flipped 5 miles of grass today and had almost nothing to show for it with an 8-10 bag.
"I did what I thought I had to do today to make a move and it just didn't work," he said. "I'm planning on doing the same thing tomorrow."
Alton Jones
Jones had the best shot of anyone at interrupting the VanDam-Reese show, but a poor showing on Lake Jordan put him out of it. He's been third almost all season, and he's looking to get that spot back.
He caught 9 pounds even on Thursday, which puts him middle of the pack with a chance to make a move. He said he had two 5-pounders out deep in practice, but that the rain and mud beat that pattern up.
"The current is always helpful, but today it was actually slow during tournament hours," he said. "If we had a hard push like we saw yesterday with all the rain and water coming from the dam, the big fish would really get fired up."

HP has started the sale of its HP DreamScreen, a unique product that straddles the boundary between television and computer with an easy to use touchscreen interface, for just Rs 20,000. The device is a large touchscreen computer, which is easy to use, works in both Hindi and English, and uses a selection of preloaded apps, enabling it to be used in a variety of ways.
The DreamScreen comes with access to music, movies, games, educational programs, news apps and also a web browser. The device can also play back DVDs and VCDs, and along with the browser also has dedicated apps to book rail and air tickets.
HP has collaborated with different partners, including Airtel and Tata Teleservices, who provide the Internet connectivity, Bill Desk for online bill payments, Erudite for the educational content, Hungama for music and movies, along with Indiagames, India Today, Music Today, NDTV and Yatra, all of whom have built specialised apps just for this platform.
The DreamScreen has been announced for Hindi and English languages, but according to HP, this will be updated online to include regional languages as well. Satjiv S Chahil, Strategic Advisor for Global Market Development, HP, said, "With such an easy way to access the Internet, all Indian families will now be able to fulfill their aspirations and be a part of the digital age."
Internet penetration in India remains very low and broadband penetration in the country is less than 10 million users, almost a tenth of our neighbour China. Products which provide access to people who cannot afford a PC can, therefore, reach a huge market and increase the size of the digital market for low cost transactions by a very significant amount in India. However, this is not the first time that a low cost device has been talked about in India either.
Here's a look at some previous attempts:
OLPC: One Laptop Per Child by Intel was probably the most famous initiative and was meant to bring mini-laptops to every school child, particularly in rural, developing areas. The project was rejected by the Indian government in 2006, but the idea behind it never quite went away.
HCL MiLeap: Along the lines of the OLPC, the MiLeap was a predecessor to netbooks. Priced at Rs 18,000 (just below the DreamScreen), the device was underpowered and the 7" screen made it less than ideal for long periods of study.
Simputer: This was one of the earliest tablets initiated by the government in 1999. Linux based, the device was built with a resistive touchscreen and promised to make computers accessible to all, much like the DreamScreen today. However, the price went north and the sales went south, moving only 4,000 units.
$35 Android Tablet: The most recent addition to our list, this little device was announced by Kapil Sibal just as the world was getting used to the idea of the iPad. Little has been seen or heard of the device since then though.
Whether the DreamScreen will do better or end up in the same fashion remains to be seen, but the continued attempts to grow the reach of Internet connected devices is positive, and it can only be hoped that someone will be able to crack the market, as it could open up a lot of new opportunities for growth in the digital domain.

India will be on a tour of four tests, one T20 and five one-dayers against the mighty England side at their own backyard. England has been a very challenging side for decades now and this time is no different. Sitting at the third position, mere 10 points behind India, England would be looking to beat the visitors rather convincingly.
Also Read: India vs England 2011 – Schedule and Fixtures
England have won their last five Test series and the latest coming against Sri Lanka recently, previous month. The England captain, Andrew Strauss, who is still adjusting to his role as a team leader, has been successful with the team so far, who have been performing rather well. The team is high on energy and confidence and would be looking to dethrone the Indian side from the top test spot.
Andrew Strauss has said that he considers the series against India to be at par with the Ashes and that the home advantage is what will help England upset India. He knows that the Indian side is full of young and talented players and the way they have performed in the past in England, means that the home side has to play very well to come out on top. He seems unsure of how the series will shape up, but remains optimistic about the outcome for the home side.
India on the other hand, even after winning the test against the Windies in their backyard, have still not recovered from the heavy criticism about the way MS Dhoni has let go of an easy win in the third test. If this is the attitude carried out by the Indian side it would be difficult for them to remain at the top spot for long. To beat England, Dhoni and his men, have to show more character and play more aggressive cricket.
The best part of the Indian side remains their batting, with the bowling department still looking a bit doubtful. Dravid and Laxman look to be back in form with a significant contribution in the recent test win. Sachin Tendulkar and Gautham Gambhir will be all set to play after a good deal of rest. Virender Sehwag's big booming shots will be missed as he will not be available for the tour due to his injured shoulder, requiring him to undergo surgery.
The bowlers to an extent have proved their worth in the Caribbean but England will be a whole new story. Ishant Sharma has been at his best and it would be good if he gets a chance to have a go at the England batting order. His height and ability to hit the deck hard is what will be needed in the bouncy pitches of England. With him, the sphere head of Indian bowling, Zaheer Khan is expected to make a comeback which will give some strength to Indian bowling attack.
For Dhoni, as a captain, this tour will be the first big challenge after his glorious World Cup triumph. Dhoni has set high standards for himself by having a high winning percentage and he will have to keep up the tough job in this series as well.
The first Test on 21st July will be a special one as the teams will be playing their 100th test match against each other and not only that, it will be the 2000th Test in the history of cricket.

The Hills Have Eyes

Desc: Science Fiction Story: Murder on the Mogollon Rim. Alex is almost close enough to catch the killer red-handed and there is plenty of evidence to get a conviction. The question is what to do with a killer you don't want to hang...
This is a story about a FANTASY written for consenting adults. If you're not both of those, don't read it. Characters in a FANTASY don't get sick or die unless I want them to. You don't live in a FANTASY so be safe. The fictional characters in my stories are trained and experienced in acts of FANTASY - don't try to do what they do - someone could get hurt.
If you think you know somebody who resembles any of the characters here, congratulations, but you're wrong - any similarity between the characters in this story and any real person is purely coincidental, since all of these characters are figments of my dirty little imagination.
This is my story, not yours. Don't sell it or put it on a pay site. You can keep it and/or give it away with all of this information intact, but if you make money off of it without my permission, you're breaking the law and pissing me off.
The Muggyon Rim country was bleak and grey as the north wind scoured the landscape. There was a single, vaguely bright spot in the featureless grey of the winter sky that marked where the sun hid, but little light filtered through to brighten the stark landscape. To his right, Alex could catch glimpses of the old highway as it wound its way over the rim and north toward Show Low. To the west was a huge expanse of young pines intermingled with the dead and rotting corpses of the old growth trees that had burned to make room for the new growth. Judging by the sizes of the new trees, that fire must have occurred some years before the Sickness. Down below, the Tonto basin was as desolate as it must have been before white men came, bringing their houses and their irrigation. Here and there, Alex could see the crumbling remains of a house surrounded by the grey skeletons of the trees its owner had planted, nurturing them with water piped in from far away.
Nowadays, if you wanted water, you had to pump it out of the ground, or go where it was. Alex figured that was the way things were meant to be. Folks before the Sickness had changed the rules for a little while, but in the end, Nature went back to doing things the way she'd always done. Already, the crumbling remains of the civilization that men had built were being turned to dust and gravel by the relentless grinding of wind, rain and searing heat. Where there was water, the plants were tearing down the old buildings even faster. Something deep inside Alex felt satisfaction at that thought and he leaned over and stroked the buckskin's powerful neck.
"Don't make no difference, do it, boy," he told the horse softly. "We humans think we're almighty clever, but ol' Nature, she just bides her time. She ain't in no hurry, cause she knows that in the end, it's all gonna be hers again."
The buckskin snorted and tossed his head as if in agreement, the cold wind catching the long hair of his mane and whipping it about.
Much as he hated to leave the shelter offered by the scattered pines, Alex nudged the buckskin with his heels as he slacked up on the reins and touched them to the right side of Buck's neck.
"I reckon we'd better mosey on along, Buck," Alex told his mount, "I can smell the snow acomin' same as you, and I reckon we oughta get down a might lower if we don't want to get snowed in."
Buck knew where the trail down from the rim was, and didn't need any more guidance than to be pointed in the right direction. Placing his hooves carefully, the stallion stepped lightly as he carried them down the switchbacks of the barely visible trail.
As he rode, Alex reflected on the differences between the written names of things and the way folks pronounced them. Pops had insisted he learn to read and write and to understand counting and numbers, but it sure was puzzle sometimes. Even today, folks, when they wrote at all, copied the spelling Alex had seen on signs all over the countryside. 'Mogollon'. Now, the way Pops taught him, that ought to be pronounced 'Mo-go-lon' or, the way folks from down below the Fence would say it, 'Mo-go-yown'. Everybody that lived on or in the shadow of the Rim, however, pronounced it, 'Muggyon'.
Buck didn't give his rider time to solve the puzzle. His head came up sharply and his ears stood up straight, pointing down the trail like a man would aim a telescope. Suddenly, a shot rang out, and Alex slid his Winchester from its boot under his right leg, every sense alert. He stroked the buckskin's neck and muttered calming words to him as they both scanned the trail ahead with every available sense.
Alex urged the horse forward slowly, but he hadn't gone more than a few steps when the 'boom' of a shotgun halted them again. There were at least two guns in play somewhere, not too far ahead, and Alex eased Buck forward, keeping just the slightest tension on the reins as he nudged him with his heels.
Buck knew about gunfire, and he knew that caution was in order whenever it was nearby. He stepped lightly, nervously ahead. In the distance, Alex's ears caught the sound of hoofbeats that sounded like they were headed rapidly downhill, a pretty reckless endeavor unless the rider was damn sure of his trail. Easing around a bend in the trail, Alex saw a dark lump lying in the dust of the trail next to a ground-hitched horse.
The horse lifted her head and whinnied at Buck, then, satisfied that the two of them meant her no harm, went back to cropping the meager tufts of grass alongside the trail.
Alex dismounted a couple of hundred feet away, taking his time about scanning the slopes above and below the strange horse, while staying out of most lines of fire that covered the portion of the trail on which the shapeless form lay. He had a pretty good idea what that thing on the trail was, and if he was right, he'd do no one any good if he rode into an ambush.
Taking a pair of moccasins from his saddlebag, Alex removed his boots and slipped the moccasins on his feet. He tied his boots to his saddle and started uphill from where he was, moving silently through the brush and pine needles. At the top of the ridge, he turned parallel to the trail below and soon found himself looking down on the waiting horse.
From this angle, it was pretty clear that the bundle on the ground was, indeed, a human body. Moving further along the ridge, he came to the spot where the ambusher must have waited. The matted needles on the ground behind a big pine had been scuffed and disturbed by someone who stood and waited for some time. A spent 5.52mm shell lay on the ground a little distance away, ejected, no doubt, from the gun that killed the person below. Alex pocketed the shell out of habit, and scoured the surroundings for clues.
The watcher's horse had been tied further back, out of sight from the trail. From the tracks, that must have been the one he heard hightailing it downhill. There were, however human shoe prints in the dirt and vegetation leading downhill toward the trail. Following carefully, so as not to overlay any sign with his own tracks, Alex found the place where the ambusher had suddenly jumped or been thrown aside, and had then rolled downhill a few yards, before scrambling back to the top in an almighty hurry.
Torn leaves on a nearby bush gave Alex a clue as to why the sudden jump and reversal of direction.
"Birdshot," he muttered under his breath. "Somebody was a huntin' out here with a shotgun and musta persuaded this feller that he didn't want to go down to that there body after all. Musta got a couple of pellets into 'im, too, from the look of them blood droplets yonder."
Sighting from the location of the ambusher's jump, through the bush that got clipped by the shotgun blast, Alex was able to find the place further along the top of the ridge from which the bird hunter had presented his argument against the bushwhacker going to pay his respects to the body below.
Climbing back to the top, he went cautiously to the spot he had picked out from below. This one was much better in the wild, and left little sign, but Alex was able to piece out a shadow of a trail that showed he had slipped up on the bushwhacker and taken a shot, but apparently stayed out of sight 'til the killer had hightailed it out of there. There was a faint set of prints that led down to the body. Presumably the hunter had come down to check on the victim after the killer made his escape. In the dust of the trail, he found where someone wearing moccasins similar to his had walked over to the body, knelt on the trail, then disappeared, probably about the time the other horse noticed Buck coming down the trail.
Now here was a puzzle. Should he go after the ambusher or the bird hunter? He might be able to catch the shooter if he hurried, but if he missed him, the bird hunter might be able to tell him who he was looking for. Might even have seen the shooting, and had certainly seen the shooter.
The weather made up his mind for him. Flakes of snow started settling on the trail and the surrounding vegetation, and if Alex was any judge, this was going to be a bad one on top of the Rim. Down below, he might still be able to pick up the killer's trail. He quickly went through the dead man's pockets, finding only a letter in a sealed envelope. On the outside of the envelope, written in a neat hand, was: Merrilee Dunstan, Flagstaff.
Alex tucked the envelope inside his shirt for safekeeping and quickly hoisted the body across the saddle of the waiting horse, tying it in place with a short length of the rope that hung from the saddle.

A Phase III Study of Gemcitabine Plus Capecitabine (GEMCAP) Versus Gemcitabine Alone in Advanced Biliary Cancer
- To compare overall survival (OS) rates in patients with locally advanced, unresectable
or metastatic biliary tree cancer treated with combined gemcitabine hydrochloride and
capecitabine vs. gemcitabine hydrochloride alone.
- To compare progression-free survival (PFS) in this patient group.
- To compare response rates (complete response [CR] and partial response [PR]) in this
patient group.
- To compare stable disease (SD) rates in this patient group.
- To compare rate of disease control (CR, PR and SD) in this patient group.
- To estimate and compare response duration in this patient group.
- To compare the effects of these treatments on measures of quality of life in this
patient group using the EORTC QLQ-C30.
- To compare the nature, severity and frequency of toxicities between the two arms.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to tumour type
(cholangiocarcinoma vs. gallbladder or biliary unknown), ECOG performance status (0-1 vs.
2), extent of disease (locally advanced vs. metastatic), and treatment center. Patients are
randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
- Arm I (Gemcitabine hydrochloride and capecitabine): Patients receive gemcitabine
hydrochloride IV on days 1 and 8 and oral capecitabine twice daily on days 1-14.
Treatment repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable
- Arm II (Gemcitabine hydrochloride alone): Patients receive gemcitabine hydrochloride IV
on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease
progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Quality of life is assessed at 12 weeks after randomization and 4 weeks after completion of
study treatment.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 4 weeks and then every 12
weeks thereafter.
Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Thank you for your support. The only thing that I was not doing, was the "exit" command after ssh to my G5. Now It appears I found a stone at every step I make.
This is my problem now:
The process works perfectly until the image size reaches 1G or 1.1G. Then the WiFi connection drops automatically.
I have repeated the process several times but it stucks at 1G aprox. I guess it is a log out time issue not a img size reason. When I leave terminal in the iPhone, Wifi returns.
So i need help "again" Thank you
Update: I finally can do it. I've restarted my G5 in Tiger on other volume and everything works perfectly. I've mounted the img, scanned with data rescue and NOW where I have to look for the deleted files??

Definition Edit
Collective intelligence is a theory that describes a type of shared or group intelligence that emerges from the collaboration and competition of many individuals and appears in consensus decision-making in computer networks.
Overview Edit
The term appears in sociobiology, political science and in context of mass peer review and crowdsourcing applications. This definition involves consensus, social capital and formalisms such as voting systems, social media and other means of quantifying mass activity. Everything from a political party to a public wiki can reasonably be described as this loose form of collective intelligence.

Pets are so much more than just animals. They are often cherished as members of their owner's family, so when one couple's beloved 8-year-old boxer died from a brain tumor and cardiac arrest they just couldn't bear to let him go.
Recommended: This Dog Was Reunited With Its Owner After Being Missing For 5 Years
British couple Laura Jacques and Richard Remde had their deceased dog, Dylan, cloned by Sooam Biotech Research Foundation in South Korea.
"I had had Dylan since he was a puppy," Jacques said. "I mothered him so much, he was my baby, my child, my entire world."
Jacques and Remde reportedly took DNA samples from Dylan's corpse and sent them to Sooam. The couple named their new pup "Chance" after the character in the Disney film, Homeward Bound. They flew all the way to South Korea to witness his "birth."

"After they got him out I still couldn't quite believe it had happened," Remde reportedly said. "But once he started making noises I knew it was real."
And they called it #PuppyLove https://t.co/C7CemnTiEo — Dylan Dog (@WeLovedDylan)
December 26, 2015
This case of cloning is particularly remarkable because Dylan's DNA was extracted almost two weeks after he died. Prior to this procedure, the limit for dog cloning was five days after death.
"This is the first case we have had where cells have been taken from a dead dog after a very long time," David Kim, a scientist at Sooam, said. "Hopefully it will allow us to extend the time after death that we can take cells for cloning."
Although there are some ethical concerns and controversy surrounding the cloning of pets, there are no regulations against it as of yet. Another cloned puppy from Dylan's DNA, to be named Shadow, is expected to be born in a few days, according to Jezebel.
