PLANS for up to 220 homes on land north of The Mead in Westbury have been given the go ahead – despite concerns over road safety and traffic congestion.
The plans, brought forward by AMEC consultants on behalf of landowner Gloucester Land Company, will see land off the A350 used for a mix of homes and apartments, with 30 per cent guaranteed as affordable housing.
Westbury Town Council objected to the development at a meeting last year due to concerns about highway safety caused by increased traffic and the pressure it would place on existing infrastructure in the town.
But Wiltshire Council planners narrowly voted in favour of the plans, with six votes for and five votes against, after hearing that a Section 106 agreement had been finalised.
Westbury North councillor David Jenkins, who was at the planning meeting on Wednesday, said: "I'm disappointed. My main concern is that now it's been approved, others will probably follow.
"I also think that to have one exit in and out from an estate of that size is ridiculous, despite what the highways people say, and it will guarantee more traffic and congestion at peak times.
"One good thing that will come out of it is the money contribution to schools and the council through the Section 106 agreement, but I am concerned about the impact it will have on the roads and the town."
Gordon King, Westbury East councillor, also expressed concerns at the meeting, but John Hall from AMEC said it would provide much needed affordable homes to the area.
Westbury West councillor Russell Hawker, speaking after the meeting, added: "I can see positives and negatives with this outcome.
"But if we have to have this on top of the existing allocated housing in the core strategy then this is the right site for it."

How can you monitor your guitar playing if iPhone 7 has no headphone jack?

Apple's own dock MIGHT work, though the awkwardness of having it attached is still an issue. I wonder it's possible to dismantle the dock and lay it all flat so i don't have to worry about snapping off that connector. I don't believe there is anything technically preventing an adapter that supports the daisy-chaining that lightning is capable of...but nothing has been announced.

Apogee JAM Guitar Output to bluetooth speakers. How does this work?
- Asked by Günther K from Hennef
- on 15-Mar-2015
Due to the technology of Bluetooth it has a lot of "latency" or delay meaning that sound coming out Due to the technology of Bluetooth it has a lot of "latency" or delay meaning that sound coming out of Bluetooth is not in real time. This makes playing live music over Bluetooth a drag. You can connect directly to speakers with a headphone connector for best results.

Smokey Mossy Green
1. Start with an eyeshadow primer, followed by a champagne shadow all over your lid.
2. Sweep on a mossy green color (a palette such as Chanel Les 4 Ombres Quadra Eyeshadow in Murano works great) from the lower part of your lid up to the crease.
3. Dab on a light green shadow from the inner point of your lid to your pupil.
4. Using a crease brush define the crease of your lid with black. Using the same shade, dab under your lower lash line (a smudging brush works best for this).
5. Take the champagne shadow and highlight under your brows. Using a black liner, line your entire upper lid close to your lashes as possible and smudge the outer edge a little into your crease. Line the bottom.
6. Add two coats of mascara and you're done!
Smokey Burnt Bronze
1. Swipe on an eyeshadow primer, followed by a bone colored shadow.
2. Take a dark brown shadow like Lorac Eyeshadow in Dark Brown and create a "V" shape on the outer corners of your lids to the crease.
3. Sweep on a light bronze shadow on the inside of the "V", where there is no color.
4. Highlight the inner corners of your eye with a light gold and under your brows with a champagne shade.
5. Line your upper lid with a liquid liner and the lower with a black pencil.
6. Using a smudging brush, tap the dark brown shadow under your lower lash line and apply two coats of mascara to finish.
Smokey Blue
1. After priming, apply a frosty white to your entire lid all the way up to your brows.
2. Take a black shadow and sweep it on from where your pupil is when you stare straight, to the outer corners of your lids.
3. Use a denim blue shadow like L'oreal Paris Studio Secrets Professional Color Smokes Shadow in Cobalt Smokes and dab it on the middle of your lid, and an icy blue on your inner lid.
4. Using a smudging brush, take the denim blue under your lash line.
5. Use a black gel liner on your top and bottom lids.
6. Sweep on two coats of mascara

I'm sorry, I love what Camby brings to the floor (Pacers fans can vouch for that), but he can't be the DPOY on one of the worst defensive teams in the NBA. It'd be like a guy winning MVP off a 20-win team.
And if Bowen couldn't win DPOY this year, where he was basically the only candidate off a team known for its defense, it is just never going to happen for him.

Melksham Town Council has voted to raise the council tax precept by two per cent, ending a three-year freeze.
The precept for 2013-14 was set at £291,698. This would mean an annual increase of £1.37, or 11p a month for a typical Band D property, putting Melksham's share of the tax bill up to £69.79.
Cllr Jon Hubbard proposed the motion, which was approved by eight votes to five. Two councillors were unable to attend the meeting.
He said: "We are in a chastened time, nationally. Last year, we had houses come in to the town providing extra income, which meant we could freeze the rate.
"Melksham Town Council, for the past six years, has been spending beyond its means. The costs of running the council have gone up year after year, but the council tax precept has been frozen. I believe we now need to raise the precepts by two per cent, which will enable us to maintain the levels of service we offer."
He also proposed a thorough audit of the council's finances to find future savings.
The rise was opposed by Cllr Richard Wiltshire, who said: "It is incumbent upon every individual and every organisation to use their resources efficiently and hold the cost of their service at the lowest possible level, in order to survive these difficult times."
Fears were raised that freezing the rate again would force the council to sell the town's Assembly Hall, which it has run since 2000.
Cllr Adrienne Westbrook, who is standing down in May, said: "We have to do something incredibly small, not now, but because of the situation we will be in soon.
"If you vote for a standstill budget today, you are voting for the Assembly Hall to close in a year's time. It's the only way of making the massive cuts you will have to make."
This was disputed by Cllr Rod Eaton, who said: "We never overspend. We are a well-controlled council and we have got reserves. The Assembly Hall won't have to close. We don't borrow money."
The issue was due to be discussed on January 7, but was postponed after three councillors, including Cllr Wiltshire, failed to return their dispensation forms on time.
* Westbury Town Council is raising council tax by 2.32 per cent after councillors voted unanimously in favour. The precept paid to the town council will rise from April, with the average band D household paying £71.74.

Though these might not be the single best flavor from Ladurée (that award goes to pistachio or vanilla), the new Strawberry Guimauve macarons stands in a category of its own. It's part of Ladurée's "Incroyable" collection featuring summer pink macaron shells sprinkled with a bit of sugar for shine. Bite in and wait: that's not buttercream or even ganache. It's marshmallow! The smooth, borderline silky marshmallow is scented with strawberry, a carefree, unorthodox macaron that demands a cool glass of rosé.

Apparently, anything can, indeed, happen on "The X Factor."
The five-headed girl group, Fifth Harmony, generally considered the underdog in this glitzy singing competition, pulled a stunner Thursday night and bolted into next week's grand finale. Joining them in the battle for a $5 million recording contract will be country crooner Tate Stevens and teen titan Carly Rose Sonenclar.
Failing to make the final was Southern California boy band Emblem 3. They received the lowest amount of viewer votes and wound up walking the plank during Thursday's results show.
After receiving the bad news, Emblem 3's Wes Stromberg said the group was "so grateful" for the experience before giving a shout-out to their fans.
"I know you voted your butts off. It's all good. We love you, and we're going to continue to make music," he said.
Emblem 3 and Fifth Harmony were both mentored by judge Simon Cowell, and of the two groups, the guys had appeared to have the inside track to the final. They consistently ranked ahead of Fifth Harmony on the weekly leaderboard and even Cowell said on Wednesday that it would take a "miracle" for Fifth Harmony to make it to next week.
The girls pulled off the miracle, thanks in large part to their vocals and Alice in Wonderland-like stagecraft on "Anything Can Happen" Wednesday night. Judge L.A. Reid called it their best performance of the season and Britney Spears described it as "magic."
The three remaining acts will have one last chance to impress America during Season 2's final performance show next Wednesday (8 p.m., Fox).

What features of WordPress or Joomla that you like?Why?
Joomla and Drupal, very little to be honest.
WordPress however quite a few.
It's really easy to install and takes minutes (upload speed depending)
It's dead simple to use, I love simplicity in systems, where I can do what I need to do quickly and effortlessly, without having to faff about or jump through hoops, where the user experience has been thought through (Joomla and Drupal)
It's easy to create custom themes for it and isn't too imposing
The codebase and database, while far from perfect technically, is easy to get along with and you can get in there and do what you need to do as a developer without too much hassle.
If you need a really simple website or a blog, its perfect.
Joomla and Drupal, I really don't get the love in. There is virtually nothing about them that gives any kind of appeal. I mean, these solutions are supposed to help developers hit the ground running and save time; and I don't feel that they do, in fact I feel that they do exactly the opposite.
Take Joomla, the "easy one":
Never had a client like the UI, content creation pipeline and workflow. It's ill considered, difficult to work with and feels as though its developed by techies for techies rather than for end users (who are after all who are going to be using these facilities). It just lacks the simplicity that other systems have (I know you can grab admin themes but I've never found one that makes me go "yes thats the way it should be").
The template engine is nasty, just not a fan of that.
The codebase is like a shoe string, looping through scripts, which isn't good. That makes the developers job take longer, which kind of defeats the objective IMO.
For what is a basic CMS product, its big and complicated.
Drupal suffers the same fate with me, but with certain features just really amplified.
To put it into context, there are other solutions that I much prefer, take Invision; its UI is so much nicer to work with and the full suite does so much more out of the box and yet is a thousand times nicer for the end user.
THANKS A LOT FizixRichard!!!
Wordpress pluses:
1) Great Blogging Platform.2) Easy to use.3) Files are organized and placed logically -- usually very little need to search through a million folders to find the file that does "X" or "Y."4) Huge community, lots of documentation, good plugins.
Wordpress minuses:
Trying to get it to be more than just a glorified blog can sometimes present challenges.
The ease of finding the right files and keeping everything together in just a few folders ... is both good and bad. From a development standpoint, it suffers from what a lot of the CMS's suffer from, and that's ... too much intermingling of presentation code and logic code. Following a more regimented structure with the file system would open up a lot of possibilities, but at the moment, the loose nature of it all could become extremely frustrating once the site starts getting much bigger and more complex.
In short, as the site grows in size, it will invariably grow in complexity. So the site that you loved because of how quick it was to set up ... becomes the site that you hate because it's become so beastly to maintain now that it has grown.
Joomla Pluses:
1) Ungodly amount of plugins and modules that will do absolutely anything you want to do.
2) Despite what people tell you, it is very easy to work with. Seriously, this is what it is: Log in, and your first two options are "add article" or "manage articles." Click on the "add article" button to ... well, add an article (or "page" if you'd rather think of it that way). Or click on "manage articles" ... and amazingly enough, a list of articles appears. You click on the one you want to edit ... do your thing, and hit "save."
If you or your client can't figure that much out, then please .... kill yourself now (please don't -- I'm only joking).
3) Very logical from a design/theming standpoint. My site is composed of areas or "blocks." I want something to go somewhere ... I just stick a block there in my template by sticking in one line of code. Then I go to the modules area to designate what I actually want to appear in that block, where that block should appear, etc. I don't know, for the life of me, why this confounds so many people.
Joomla Cons:
Almost too many plugins out there, and a lot of them poorly written ... many points of failure in them. This shouldn't be a problem if you stick with the ones that get higher reviews. Just read the darn reviews.
Peaking underneath the engine reveals a pretty complex system, that doesn't follow very good design theory. You'll see far too many instances where code logic is mixed in with presentation logic, and it can get very ugly very quickly. Lots of redundancies, but it at least tries to follow an MVC-architecture so I'll give it at least some credit there.
In short ... if your project requires you to do some heavy development / programming, things could get tricky. Even a seasoned programmer will need to spend some serious time getting familiar with how things work under the hood. Better to just pray you never have to open the hood.
The bit in bold, I have to disagree with this. While you are right in principal as it is "just a case of hitting add article" or "edit article" from the article list. That doesn't make it user friendly though and from my experience most users find it very confusing and overwhelming. That first impression then sticks.
The biggest problem with the Joomla UI, as I see it is that there is too much going on in the cms, way too many options and most average, non technical, users I come into contact find that overwhelming. They want a simpler interface, all the extra stuff should be hidden away until needed.
Another thing is the language, I mean this:
Click on the "add article" button to ... well, add an article (or "page" if you'd rather think of it that way).
That is a big usability no-no. A static page, such as your about page, isn't an article. That to end users is often confusing as when you say "article" they consider something akin to a "news article", when you say "the about page" they consider a "page" and expect those two things to be different and inherently they are. Even if under the hood, the code base, treats them the same, from the users perspective they should be different, even if it's just an alternative view to the same system.
Implying that the user is stupid if they don't get it or feel overwhelmed (I know you did it jokingly but the feeling that they are just stupid is clearly there) is not the answer to the problem, its discarding the problem or trying to make out like there isn't one.
Essentially what you've said is, "It's not that the system that's got a bad design, its that you are too stupid to use it".
Now if we were talking about a technical system or a feature of the system that is essentially technical or "advanced" then it's ok for it to require some "getting to grips with", but when its something as elementary as adding an article or a "page" then it's a problem if it requires anything more than a couple of minutes to get your head around (of course more advanced features of publishing are another thing, I mean the ability to simply publish an article or a page).
Taking Joomla's article system in a bit more detail, some of the things I find users struggle with are:
... conversation goes on, explaining how it works, user ends up feeling kind of overwhelmed and feels like the system "does it in a silly way" ...
When on the lists and editors they find them overwhelming, there are far too many options right in the users face. They literally just want to select a category or menu to place the page/article under, enter a title, meta data and the content body. Then select a publish option (i.e. publish, unpublish, embargo date) and hit go. Instead they have a mass of information in front of them and don't know where to look. Added to that, the UI looks very technical so they feel its all "very technical".
They get a bit confused over how and where their article will be indexed and how to index it to a menu or a category.
These are things WP do really well and why WP is known to be easy to use, the editor itself and the indexing system is really straight forward so the end user can see at a glance what they need to do.
A better approach with all the extra bits of info and features on Joomla would be to tabulate the form, structure the menu and flow in a simpler way, or have an "advanced options" button or even expandable blocks on the forms. That way all the confusing stuff is hidden away and the end user will feel more comfortable.
When it comes to indexing an article or page, most just want to create their categories and manage their category structure separately to everything else, then either select a category and "add article" or have some kind of category tree on the editor which says "select the categories you want to index this article under" or words to those effect.
Then a few navigation options, such as an option to include a page in the main navigation along with navigation title and placement; maybe a seperate manager on top of that to reorder the main menu on the fly.
Joomla does all that, but not in a very coherent way.
Yea, I agree with this, actually. Good point. However, I have to go under the assumption that the Developer/programmer is going to be in-tune with the sophistocation of their client before even choosing a CMS. If I'm dealing with someone who can't really think in the abstract (and I understand that is a lot of people and that it doesn't make them "stupid") ... then I will simply change a few lines of code in Joomla's Admin area so it reads "Page," instead of article.
In fact, I typically customize the terminology to fit my purposes, which is usually a very simple thing to do with Joomla. For a real estate client, for example, it will read "add property" instead of "article" or page, or what have you.
But overall, if you can get past the terminology issue ... the idea of coming to a welcome screen with a set of about 5 or 6 graphical icons that you can select from, rather than a tree of more terms and more menu options, is a pretty fair and friendly way for a user to be greeted.
I understand that everyone's brain works differently ... there are conceptual types, creative types, left-brain, right-brain, etc. etc. And I agree with what you're saying, but only to an extent. If you have decided that you want to have a website, and having a website is important to you ... then you need to be willing to put forth at least some effort to learning what's going on. Most of the CMS systems out there are amazingly easy to use when you consider what they will do for you, and the amount of knowledge you'd need to make changes "the hard way."
Joomla doesn't go out of it's way to make things complicated. If your site is important to you and you're motivated enough to maintain it, then you should be able to pick it up very easily. In most cases, I find lack of motivation and/or seriousness to be the main issue on the client's part. For any CMS, I create videos and easy-to-follow PDF instructions, and I put them in places that are easy for them to find. If they don't have the motivation to pull out the PDF or watch the video, and just want instant answers to every little question ... then I have to question their motivation level and their seriousness.
It's kind of a double-edged sword. On one hand, what they need is all right there, but there are also other options that they might not need at the moment. On one hand, if you take away some of those options -- which I do sometimes (not a difficult hack by the way) -- then once the person actually grows comfortable with the system and realize how dead-simple it is ... they complain that there's not enough options, and will later conclude that they "cant' do some of the things they want to do" or that it is lacking in features.
I get you, but it's a catch-22. Maybe Joomla is just more of an "intermediate" CMS for the CMS user who has already used a "training wheels" CMS like Wordpress or CMS Made Simple. Either way, I still can't help but think that if you are serious about your website ... your site is a high priority to you and you are motivated to maintain it, then you will find it exceptionally easy and powerful. On the other hand, if you're an "instant gratification" type, you probably should just have someone else make changes for you ... or get a much simpler CMS, like one of those newer "no database" options that just edit the code directly.
User: How do I resize my image? Why will it resize in firefox but not in chrome?What is this featured image thing? Why does the editor strip out all of my paragraphs whenever I change an article?What the heck is this media manager, and why can't I just pick an image and stick it in the article?
I mean ... pick your poison. With any CMS, you're going to have a laundry list of complaints from newbies. It's 6 of one or half-dozen of the other, but in the end, they all pretty much have the same options and a similar laundry list of issues.
Absolutely. And this is why I often configure these additional options to be expandable via JQuery show/hide. Or I simply make the important ones in larger, bold text (just a little bit of CSS). There's nothing stopping you from creating your own custom theme for the CMS Admin. It's really actually not harder than creating a custom front-facing template for the site. Joomla doesn't run your site theme through the same engine as your admin theme like Wordpress (major pain). But the steps involved in creating your own are almost exactly the same. Your issues seem to be much more related to the admin template than anything else. So either hack it or create your own. Then sell it and make lot of money ... brand it as "Joomla made easier." Or make one that's laid out exactly like Wordpress. I'll bet there would actually be a market for that if you sold it for 20 bucks a pop.
OK, I agree with your comments here in principal. If the user is more technical, they get it and are happy with it then fine, no problem exists with the UI. The problem presents itself when the user is not in tune with it. I disagree with your notion of "if they care about their site, they put the effort in" or should do; most of my clients who encounter Joomla feel that its making their job harder to maintain the site they care about and are serious about.
A lot of my clients have enough on their plate and are busy running their business and therefore aren't particularly interested in taking the training course, they just want something they can get along with.
One thing I have to disagree with, is your notion of resorting to hacking Joomla or editing the templates. I don't see that as a good thing and I'll explain why.
Therefore I am of the belief that you should never hack the code base, the moment you are hacking the core code base you are demonstrating ill suitability (its different with a framework of course).
I am also of the belief that plugins are for extension, so any "hacks" should be plugins and that they should degrade elegantly and that you should not be over dependent on them.
Some of the biggest problems I have had to deal with for clients with existing systems that are built on a product (i.e. a forum like vbulletin or invision, a WP site, Joomla or Drupal site) are being caused by plugins or hacks that have introduced some remedial or secondary issue that has made the task at hand problematic or have introduced some issue.
My issue with template modding Joomla is within the template engine, it doesn't truly separate backend logic/code from UI. If it had a system similar to Invision or vBulletin this wouldn't be a problem. The systems in those forums separate the UI from PHP code completely. There is no HTML in the PHP code and no PHP in the templates (which are pure HTML with replacement variables and some kind of logic parser with is UI focused).
Thats how a template engine should be, it allows for better platform upgradeability, seamlessness and as its not tied into your codebase as much its more non restrictive in both directions.
The best feature of WordPress is that it's not an unnecessarily complicated, unintuitive nightmare like Joomla.
I guess I just disagree with the notion that Joomla is somehow "hard," or that it would require a training course. Maybe you and I just have different definitions of "hard." I mean ... any CMS these days pretty much involves the same thing. You log in with a user ID and password. You select some sort of "edit page" option, and you're given a list of pages. You pick the page you want to edit, make the changes, hit save.
Honestly, if that's too much for someone to wrap their heads around, then they should probably just have someone else do it for them ... and probably not worth your time, because this is going to be a major pain-in-the-a$$ client. The kind that can't figure out how to refresh their browser (and yes, I have had a few of those).
But either way, if that's what you're dealing with, then luckily we have training wheel type CMS platforms like Wordpress and CMS Made simple.
And I wouldn't either, which is why I don't advocate it. I do, however, highly encourage you to create your own template, and work within Joomla's system to override certain aspects of the template if/when necessary (which it probably won't be). This is one area that non-Joomla guys don't quite get. Much like Drupal .... Joomla has a separate Administrative template. Changing the layout, styling elements, hiding things and revealing things ... is no more "hackish" than creating a template for the actual website you're trying to manage.
You have full control over how the engine is presented to the user, if you so wish ... and I don't think you quite get that.
But nonetheless, if you don't feel like theming your Admin section ... no big deal. Honestly, if you like Wordpress, that's totally fine. It has a lot of strong Content Management properties and features and is good at what it does. I just get kind of bored reading all of the myths about Joomla being so difficult, because it's really not. It's kind of like this: Wordpress is probably easier at first ... as in the first few minutes you look at it. Joomla, on the other hand ... if you spend just a little bit of time with Joomla, you'll find it's actually easier to do a lot of thins with it. Tons of features already built in to it that do the work of several Wordpress plugins. And a lot of things you'll never be able to do with Wordpress as easily. But these are all things that go beyond that initial "first 5 minutes" impression.
Your description about word press and joomla is really nice and i liked it so much. here i got the main benefits of both word press and joomla.. PHP Development

Editors' Winter Shopping Picks
One Editor, One $500 Budget — See How He Spends It!
Ever wonder how a fashion editor determines his favorite items and top picks? It's essentially our job to shop — to find the coolest of the cool, the hippest of the hip, and the most coveted pieces out there. Every day we scour shopping sites and brick-and-mortar stores alike to show you the clothes you didn't even know you needed. And, yes, sometimes we pick a little somethin' somethin' up along the way. With our newest challenge, see how our editors spend $500 on their Winter wardrobes. Next up, Danny Feekes, our associate editorial director of style. Click through to see how he spends his money now.
I'm originally from Kansas — where one truly dresses for the seasons — but since moving to San Francisco seven years ago, I've adapted to the temperate, year-round climate by wearing, what some have called, a uniform. I was quick to adopt to the casual, Northern California aesthetic, and most days you'll find me in skinny jeans, some semblance of plaid, and either a cardigan or v-neck sweater. It's a formula that works for me, and I don't stray too far, too often. With a $500 budget, I'd buy more of the same, but infuse some pop colors and unique prints. I'd like to think the following picks would look good together, or as individual items added to my tiny, already jam-packed closet. I'd gladly give a few pieces to charity to make room for the following . . .

Is it me or is aging, out-of-touch, egomaniac dictator Hosni Mubarak asking for a bloodbath coup with a speech that basically says he's still in charge?
In what looks like a bone-headed, stubborn and potentially deadly political move, Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak, who apparently hasn't been looking at the teeming crowds of people in the streets calling for him to get lost, today digged in his heels. The speech clearly caught everyone — including the White House — off guard, as most figured the guy was going to resign and jet off to some paradise to live out the rest of his years. You know, something that would make sense for the garden variety dictator.
But egomaniacs like to hold on to power, so he handed over some responsibilities to his VP:
I am telling you, as a president of the country, I do not find it a mistake to listen to you and to respond to your requests and demands. But it is shameful and I will not, nor will ever accept to hear foreign dictations, whatever the source might be or whatever the context it came in.
…I have delegated to the vice president some of the power – the powers of the president according to the constitution. I am aware, fully aware, that Egypt will overcome the crisis and the resolve of its people will not be deflected and will [inaudible] again because of the – and will deflect the arrows of the enemies and those who [inaudible] against Egypt.
But Mubarak still holds power over the country's constitution and ability to dismiss Parliament, according to CNN.
The White House has yet to respond. Who knows what the Egypt's army will do.
UPDATE: The WH response:
Office of the Press Secretary
February 10, 2011
Statement of President Barack Obama on Egypt
The Egyptian people have been told that there was a transition of authority, but it is not yet clear that this transition is immediate, meaningful or sufficient. Too many Egyptians remain unconvinced that the government is serious about a genuine transition to democracy, and it is the responsibility of the government to speak clearly to the Egyptian people and the world. The Egyptian government must put forward a credible, concrete and unequivocal path toward genuine democracy, and they have not yet seized that opportunity.
As we have said from the beginning of this unrest, the future of Egypt will be determined by the Egyptian people. But the United States has also been clear that we stand for a set of core principles. We believe that the universal rights of the Egyptian people must be respected, and their aspirations must be met. We believe that this transition must immediately demonstrate irreversible political change, and a negotiated path to democracy. To that end, we believe that the emergency law should be lifted. We believe that meaningful negotiations with the broad opposition and Egyptian civil society should address the key questions confronting Egypt's future: protecting the fundamental rights of all citizens; revising the Constitution and other laws to demonstrate irreversible change; and jointly developing a clear roadmap to elections that are free and fair.
We therefore urge the Egyptian government to move swiftly to explain the changes that have been made, and to spell out in clear and unambiguous language the step by step process that will lead to democracy and the representative government that the Egyptian people seek. Going forward, it will be essential that the universal rights of the Egyptian people be respected. There must be restraint by all parties. Violence must be forsaken. It is imperative that the government not respond to the aspirations of their people with repression or brutality. The voices of the Egyptian people must be heard.
The Egyptian people have made it clear that there is no going back to the way things were: Egypt has changed, and its future is in the hands of the people. Those who have exercised their right to peaceful assembly represent the greatness of the Egyptian people, and are broadly representative of Egyptian society. We have seen young and old, rich and poor, Muslim and Christian join together, and earn the respect of the world through their non-violent calls for change. In that effort, young people have been at the forefront, and a new generation has emerged. They have made it clear that Egypt must reflect their hopes, fulfill their highest aspirations, and tap their boundless potential. In these difficult times, I know that the Egyptian people will persevere, and they must know that they will continue to have a friend in the United States of America.
Below the fold is the Mubarak transcript.
In the name of Allah, the merciful, the compassionate, dear fellow citizens, my sons, the youth of Egypt, and daughters, I am addressing you tonight to the youth of Egypt in Tahrir Square, with all of its diversity.
I am addressing all of you from the heart, a speech from the father to his sons and daughters. I am telling you that I am very grateful and am so proud of you for being a symbolic generation that is calling for change to the better, that is dreaming for a better future, and is making the future.
I am telling you before anything, that the blood of the martyrs and the injured will not go in vain. And I would like to affirm, I will not hesitate to punish those who are responsible fiercely. I will hold those in charge who have violated the rights of our youth with the harshest punishment stipulated in the law.
I am telling families of the innocent victims that I have been so much in pain for their pain, and my heart ached for your heartache.
I am telling you that my response to your demands and your messages and your requests is my commitment that I will never go back on to. I am determined to fulfill what I have promised you in all honesty, and I'm determined to execute and carry out what I have promised without going back to the past.
This commitment is out of my conviction of your honesty and your movement and that your demands are the demands – legitimate and just demands. Any regime could make mistakes in any country, but what is more important is to acknowledge these mistakes and reform and correct them in a timely manner, and to hold those responsible for it accountable.
I am telling you, as a president of the country, I do not find it a mistake to listen to you and to respond to your requests and demands. But it is shameful and I will not, nor will ever accept to hear foreign dictations, whatever the source might be or whatever the context it came in.
My sons and daughters, the youth of Egypt, dear fellow citizens, I have announced, without any doubt, that I will not run for the next presidential elections and have said that I have given the country and served the country for 60 years in public service, during wartime and during peacetime.
I have told you my determination that I will hold steadfast to continue to take on my responsibility to protect the constitution and the rights of people until power is transferred to whomever the people choose during September, the upcoming September, and free and impartial elections that will be safeguarded by the freedom – the call for freedom.
This is the oath that I have taken before God and before you. And I will protect it and keep it until we reach – we take Egypt to the safety and security.
I have given you my vision to get out of this current situation, to accomplish what the youth and the people called for, within the respect for the legitimacy and the constitution in a way that will accomplish security, and security for our future and the demands of our people, and at the same time will guarantee a framework of peaceful transition of power.
Through a responsible dialogue between all factions in the society, with all honesty and transparency, I have given you this vision under commitment to take the country out of this current crisis, and I will continue to accomplish it. And I'm monitoring the situation hour by hour.
I'm looking forward to the support of all those who are careful about the security and want a secure Egypt, within a tangible time, with the harmony of the broad base of all Egyptians that will stay watchful to guard Egypt and under the command of its military forces.
We have started a national dialogue, a constructive one, that included the youth who have called for change and reform, and also with all the factions of opposition and of society. And this dialogue resulted in harmony, and preliminary harmony in opinions that has placed us on the beginning of the road to transfer to a better future that we have agreed on.
We also have agreed on a road map – a road map with a timetable. Day after day, we will continue the transition of power from now until September. This national dialogue has — has met and was formed under a constitutional committee that have looked into the constitution and what was required – and looked into what is required, and the constitution reforms that is demanded [inaudible].
We will also monitor the execution – the honest execution of what I have promised my people. I was careful that both committees that were formed – to be formed from Egyptians who are honorable and who are independent and impartial, and who are well-versed in law and constitution.
In addition to that, in reference to the loss of many Egyptians during these sad situations that have pained the hearts of all of us and have ached the conscience of all Egyptians. I have also requested to expedite investigations and to refer all investigations to the attorney general to take the necessary measures and steps – decisive steps.
I also received the first reports yesterday about the required constitutional reform – reforms that was suggested by the constitutional and law experts regarding the legislative reforms that were requested. I am also responding to what the committee has suggested. And based on the powers given to me according to the constitution, I have presented today a request asking the amendment of six constitutional articles, which is 76, 77, 88, 93 and 187, in addition to abolishing article number 79 in the constitution, with the affirmation and conviction that later on we can also amend the other articles that would be suggested by that constitutional committee, according to what it sees right.
Our priority now is to facilitate free election – free presidential elections and to stipulate a number of terms in the constitution and to guarantee a supervision of the upcoming elections to make sure it will be conducted in a free manner.
We – I have also looked into the provisions and the steps to look into the parliamentary elections, but those who have suggested to abolish article number 179 in the constitution will guarantee the balance between the constitution and between our security and the threat of terror, which will open the door to stopping the martial law, as soon as we regain stability and security and as soon as these circumstances — circumstances assure the stability.
Our priority now is to regain confidence between citizens among themselves and to regain confidence in the international arena and to regain confidence about the reforms that we have pledged.
Egypt is going through some difficult times, and it is not right to continue in this discourse because it has affected our economy and we have lost day after day, and it is in danger — it is putting Egypt through a situation where people who have called for reform will be the first ones to be affected by it.
This time is not about me. It's not about Hosni Mubarak. But the situation now is about Egypt and its present and the future of its citizens.
All Egyptians are in the same spot now, and we have to continue our national dialogue that we have started in the spirit of one team and away from disagreements and fighting so that we can take Egypt to the next step and to regain confidence in our economy and to let people feel secure and to stabilize the Egyptian street so that people can resume their daily life.
I was a young man, a youth just like all these youth, when I have learned the honor of the military system and to sacrifice for the country. I have spent my entire life defending its land and its sovereignty. I have witnessed and attended its wars with all its defeats and victories. I have lived during defeat and victory.
During the victory in 1973, my happiest days were when I lifted the Egyptian flag over Sinai. I have faced death several times when I was a pilot. I also faced it in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and elsewhere. I did not submit nor yield to foreign dictations or others. I have kept the peace. I worked towards the Egyptian stability and security. I have worked to the revival in Egypt and the prosperity.
I did not seek authority. I trust that the majority — the vast majority of the Egyptian people know who is Hosni Mubarak, and it pains me to what I have — what I see today from some of my fellow citizens. And anyway, I am completely aware of the — what we are facing and I am convinced that Egypt is going through a historical — a historical moment that necessitates we should look into the higher and superior aspirations of the nation over any other goal or interest.
I have delegated to the vice president some of the power – the powers of the president according to the constitution. I am aware, fully aware, that Egypt will overcome the crisis and the resolve of its people will not be deflected and will [inaudible] again because of the – and will deflect the arrows of the enemies and those who [inaudible] against Egypt.
We will stand as Egyptians and we will prove our power and our resolve to overcome this through national dialogue. We will prove that we are not followers or puppets of anybody, nor we are receiving orders or dictations from anybody — any entity, and no one is making the decision for us except for the [inaudible] of the Egyptian [inaudible].
We will prove that with the spirit and the resolve of the Egyptian people, and with the unity and steadfastness of its people and with our resolve and to our glory and pride.
These are the main foundations of our civilization that have started over 7,000 years ago. That spirit will live in us as long as the Egyptian people – as long as the Egyptian people remain, that spirit will remain in us.
It will live amongst all of our people, farmers, intellectuals, workers. It will remain in the hearts of our senior citizens, our women, our children, Christians and Muslims alike, and in the hearts and minds of all those who are not born yet.
Let me say again that I have lived for this nation. I have kept my responsibilities. And Egypt will remain, above all, and above any individuals — Egypt will remain until I deliver and surrender its — it to others. This will be the land of my living and my death. It will remain a dear land to me. I will not leave it nor depart it until I am buried in the ground. Its people will remain in my heart, and it will remain — its people will remain upright and lifting up their heads.
May God keep Egypt secure and may God defend its people. And peace be upon you.

Is your kid a reluctant learner?
Find out how to get your kid excited about being back at school. more
During childhood, kids can be struck with a variety of illnesses and viruses. Some have slightly scary names like 'slap face' and others can be highly contagious.
But knowing how long to keep littlies away from others when they're sick can be a bit confusing. Here's a guide to the most common childhood illnesses, a brief list of their symptoms plus incubation and contagious periods.
Chickenpox is a red and itchy skin rash that usually begins on the torso as small red bumps which look like pimples. These become fluid filled, like blisters, and eventually erupt before scabbing over.
Symptoms of whooping cough include long fits of coughing and wheezy breathing.
A child with Slap face has red specks on the cheeks, nose, arms, thighs and buttocks which can blur, making it look like your child has been slapped.
A child with hand, foot and mouth has a large number of small spots and blisters, particularly in the mouth and on the feet and hands. The disease can cause a slight fever for a few days.
Impetigo is a skin infection caused by the Staphylococcus or Streptococcus bacteria, impetigo is characterised by small, crusting blisters that usually form on the face or limbs.
Seasonal flu is a respiratory illness with symptoms such as fevers, sore throat, a cough, general achiness, headaches and fatigue.
Gastroenteritis often includes feelings of nausea, vomiting, cramping and diarrhoea.
Symptoms of the common cold are characterised by nasal congestion, and can also include a sort throat, cough, irritability and a low-grade fever.
Tonsillitis symptoms include a very sore throat, fever, red or pus-covered tonsils and swollen glands in the neck.

The current condom has been in use for about 400 years, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation believe that it's time some improvements have been made. The foundation is offering $100,000 to the individual who can come up with a better condom.
"The idea of a condom that men would prefer to no condom is a revolutionary idea, but we know more today about sexual function than at any time in the past, and advances in relevant disciplines such as neuroscience, vascular biology, urology, reproductive biology, materials science, and other fields can contribute to new and unconventional approaches," the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation wrote on its blog, Impatient Optimist.
The organization posted the appeal for the next-generation prophylactic for the latest round of its Grand Challenges in Global Health initiative. While they lauded the need and use of the current condom -- which has about 750 million users and is produced at rates of 15 billion units annually -- the foundation cited problems like inconsistent use because condoms supposedly diminish pleasure and improper use, especially of female condoms. Female sex workers still have a hard time trying to get their clients to use condoms, and often put their health and lives at risk because of the aversion to use the prophylactics.
While the use of latex has only been introduced in the last 50 years, the organization believes it's time to introduce entirely new materials and product designs.
- Drug-resistant gonorrhea on the rise, CDC claims
- CDC: 110 million STDs among U.S. men and women
- Durex offers to deliver condoms to doorsteps in Dubai
- Condoms don't diminish sexual pleasure, survey says
The prize money can go to anyone who can come up with a new way to use safe materials that keep or enhance sensation, create a new design that aids in the user experience and/or someone who uses information from other areas like medicine or science to make condoms more appealing. The person who submits the proposal must include a testable hypothesis and a way to go about testing or validation, and be able to produce usable data in a Phase I testing environment that will encourage more testing.
Non-technological, social or educational proposals or products that will be too expensive for a real world setting will be disqualified. Also, items that are currently commercially available will not be considered. If the condom takes away prevention for unplanned pregnancies or HIV infection, it won't be considered for prize money.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation cited several examples of new condom technologies including Multi-purpose Prevention Technologies (MPTs) which combine birth control methods and STD prevention. Researchers at the University of Washington are working on a condom that created out of a fabric of polymer strands that can contain spermicide or microbicidal agents in addition to sexually transmitted disease protection through a process called "electrospinning." Another company, called Origami Condoms, has come up with a new, accordion like design that may change how we think and use condoms.

1.5-2" 1966-1972 Ford F150 4WD Premium Lift Kit
These kits were designed to give superior performance from highway handling and towing as well as excellent off road stability. This is achieved by using a combination of coil springs, radius arm drop brackets with C bushings, adjustable drag link, and a track bar. Coil springs are pre-settled to reduce height changes. C bushings and a radius arm drop bracket will correct the negative caster degree angle, which is one of the biggest problems with the F150. An adjustable drag link will correct several problems that increased drag link angles can cause. A track bar will prevent 'Dog Track', this is where on one side of the truck, the tires will stick out further than on the other side. These are the most complete kits on the market. Purchase a deluxe or premium to give your truck all the extras it needs for a superior ride.
Premium Kit Includes:
- 'C' Bushings
- Radius Arm Bushings
- Track Bar Bushings
- Pro Comp Steering Stabilizer w/ Boot
- (4) Pro Comp Shocks w/ Boots

I absolutely love audio mangling software. I cherish plug-ins like Effectrix, The Finger and Stutter Edit. The amount of wiring, tape splicing, copy, cutting, pasting, and effort you would have to go through to get some of the output these plug-ins can produce is massive. While you can go nuclear using these tools with wet at 100% I also love to kill loop monotony in subtle ways with these tools. The video above is a demo of the new kid on the block Linplug's Relectro. I'm not sure I like the loop used but you can hear this plug-in definitely can produce some interesting stuff.
"If you're looking for a new kind of beat/sound mangler you really should check out the manual or the description on their site. It sounds completely different than one would imagine. If you like hardcore, noise, glitch, power electronics, idm… this is a neat tool too kick the crap outa your ol' drum loops!" – salzmanufaktur

Topic: diet
I have been doing a lot of research since my husband was diagnosed, and discovered diet plays a major role. Animal proteins are bad for the body, and a vegan diet is best to keep cancer cells from returning. Since there is no "cure" for cancer, we have to keep it away as best as possible. We are what we eat. It is not a cure for cancer, but from what I have read, and saw documented, one can live a longer life if they develop a plant based died.
