Here is my Smack 60 (Thanks Paul for the name haha)
Name came about after it hit the ground at 150mph! These photos are after the impact. i haven't touched a thing!
Here is another Reaper I am almost finished.
Also putting a new fuse from the guys up north, onto the Windburner wing.
And two more JWs waiting to be built.
And the Beevo...
Here is a photo off all the Foam, apart from the Blue/Wihite/Red JW of Andrew Palmer's, that I have built the last few months:
Lookin good Alex.. Plenty of ds fur balls @ 200 in a few more weeks..
Hard to beat orange and black ...
Cheers, Tim. I hope we get most of them zipping around today. About to head up to Wainui
Good collection Alex.
Is the big Green one a reaper.
I'm bringing my reaper but it's a light one. I like the way they fly light. You can really bang'em then.
Yep its a reaper, but lost the fuse AGAIN yesterday. Is only good up to 160 before it gets a buig shudder and shakes the fuse off.
We had a FANTASTIC day yesterday! Best DS day ever! about 8 guys up there DSing and several PBs!
Andrew Palmer got 198mph with the Vac Bagged Scratcho TWICE!
Peter France broke 150 with his Burner
Dave got 138mph with his new Reaper, his first proper DS (he has done a little before, many many years ago.
Will do a report later
Wow what a great day! We had the most guys we have ever had up the hill DSing before! We had; Neal Blackie, the most enthusiastic Modeller I have ever come across, back up the hill after a long absence, looking forward to seeing more of him up the hill. Dale Kerr, another enthusiastic Modeller who I havent seen up the hill for a while. Ever enthusiastic Ron Duff, who always has a new model to fly, this time was a modded Jazz 60 with Laminating film. Dave Griffin, an expert modeler who has been flying for years. Dave started Canterbury Sailplanes, and was a leading figure in getting me into flying. My good friend, Peter France, who got some great flying in! He must have been DSing that Windburner for over an hour, on a couple of occasions! And took it home in one piece =). Richard Knott, another enthusiast, who was doing some great laps with his newly rebuilt JW60. Im not sure what speed he got to. Andrew Palmer was RIPPING laps with his Scratcho, still couldnt break the 200, but was flying HARD and FAST! Scott Chisholm was down at his batch in Wainui with his family that weekend and came up for a quick look. He is a great flyer, and hopefully we can see him ripping some laps one day.
So 9 of us up the hill! WOW!!!!! I never thought I would see the day! Im so thrilled to see so many guys enjoying some DS! =) =) =)
I had planned to head up later in the day as the wind would have been a bit strong earlier on for the new guys, plus some showers were forecast for earlier in the day. We got up there about 1:30pm to a howling wind! Man I wish I had a Kinetic and had gone up 2 or three hours earlier! I am sure 400+ would have been on. Was about 40kts when we got up there.
I quickly got the D60 out as I wanted to try crack 300 again. It was ripping, but it never went over 275, apon landing I found the gun was set to 40-275mph!!! AHHHH! Didnt fly it again as I had hogged the air for a fair while and wanted to test fly Daves new Reaper and get it set-up for him. Wow what a great Reaper that is! Nicest flying foamy to date! Only good for around 150mph as it is a single spar version, but Dave got it to 138 within a few laps! Unfortunately he plowed it in later on. He was flying low and hard! Amazing for his first serious DS! Watch out for this guy!
Having several circuits going on the hill meant that with one gun it was difficult. I was running back and forth with it between the two main circuits. I got the Pocket Radar out and this eased things a bit. We had constant furballs happening, composite and foam. No carnage thankfully, but what a hoot!
Peter was ripping fantastic laps with his Windburner, exclaiming This thing comes alive once it get up to speed! Very true, it looked solid! Great to see him crack the 150 mark, on several occasions! New pb of 157mph =)
Rob Duff was putting lap after lap in with his JW60 and then his new Jazz 60. He lost a fin at one point but kept going with the other. Then after repeated touch and goes at 100mph, it lost the other fin. So he kept going without any!
Andrew was SMOKING with his Scratcho! Wings bending extensively and really pushing hard for 200, coming so close at 198 twice, but angle was a trouble with the gun. Again he would have cracked it, just not recorded =( But still, 198 with the vac bagged Scratcho! WOW! Fantastic flying! He will be the bext guy over 200 for sure and then I dont think 300 will be far off! I have competition . Hehe
Lots of JW action, didnt see much of Richard flying again, hopefully someone got some speeds for him. I will ask around.
Neal had brought up his new RCRCM Typhoon, but wisely did not test fly in the strong winds without much of a landing area.
Dale gunned most of the afternoon which was much appreciated by all. Thanks man! He and Neal manned the guns most of the time.
I flew the Ampreg Scratcho to 214 or something like that later on in the arvo, and managed 172mph EASILY with the Smack 60, but something is funny with it as it would give a nasty pitch up every now and then and sometimes a nasty violent roll. I think it is flexing or twisting or one of the servos is a bit suspect. Must figure that one out. Could be getting a brief lock out and reverting to the configuration it was bound in. I will try a re-bind. It has an Orange Rx, and I have had nothing but problems with them. I will do some work on it at some stage.
I also blew up the Reaper again. It wont go much over 160 without a massive shuddering flutter. Again it shook off the fuselage, the wing was spinning along its chord line and climbing up then down, then further down the back, then back up again, finally coming to rest amongst a huge area of gorse. So I had to wade through that impassable crap again. The fuse, about three of us saw it land near the top of the ridge, but we never found it!!!! Could not believe that we saw it land and still couldnt find it! Oh well, ANOTHER fuse and fin needed! Im going to find a more permanent way of attaching it.
I have a lot of foamies to fix now as I am fixing up Daves reaper, and Andrews JW60, which both went in hard, but with surprisingly little damage!
Bring on NZDS2012! Two weeks to go ..
What a great Day Alex! Ive got to get my butt into gear with finishing some planes, I keep thinking its not for ages but I just realised Ive got about 1.5 weeks to finish my new scorcher-better order those servos!
I also Bought myself a half finished Wowings Skua so I'll have some foam to play around with too.
I'm just thankful for all the support from you guys! It has been the only thing keeping me going at times
I have video, but may be later in the week before I get time to edit and upload

This is a fun game. But I didnt' complete it after 1-2. it would be cool if he picked up his pace though.
I think that it's funny that a knight get obliterated from walking on thorns =). that made my day!
keep it up.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
loved the game
I would say the dying and restarting thing can get annoying but it's not like the levels are too long so it's not that bad, love the game though, very challenging and fun and hope to see more or games like it, that is the graphics, the gameplay as well, but just saying it doesn't have to be jetpack something, but would still like to see another of those too, great job, I think the love it or hate it reviewers still noticed all the effort and time you put into it, including me. as for compaints, you've even given where to find the cheats so dunno what that's about
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
okay ill start with
ok to start i love the NES loading screen and start button also im a sucker for anything involving jetpacks and lastly he should be able to walk faster or run
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Its called skill. If it was where you repeat where you die it wouldn't be fun.
Rated 0 / 5 stars
Why the need to repeat all over again after dying? It is really, really annoying. The concept is quite good but nobody (or atleast me!) would not be able to grasp the whole story if you would make the game this hard.
And NO, I don't spell F-U-N with H-A-R-D-C-O-R-E.
It's not that hard.
Seriously you guys must be really pampered...

Brett Terpstra, the hardest working nerd on the internet, has come up with yet another super-useful single-serve utility. It's called Clip Text File, and it grabs the contents of a plain text file and copies it to your clipboard, all without opening the file.
Why? Because text files are great places to store oft-used words, and opening them is a pain. Clip Text File is a system service (it shows up in the Services menu under the current application's menu, or in the contextual menu when you right click on a TXT file in the Finder) which will grab the file's contents and copy it to your clipboard.
I could have used such a thing for the introductory blurbs for last year's Christmas shopping guide, grabbing the boilerplate first paragraph straight from a file. Or you could use it to copy and paste the contents of a TODO.TXT file that is stored in Dropbox.
And because it is a System Service, Clip Text File can be triggered using your favorite launcher, like Quicksilver, Launchbar or Alfred.
And yes, you can use the amazing TextExpander for unchanging snippets, but Brett's neat little utility has already found a home in my ~/Library/Services folder.

Katherine & Grant
Rakhee Bhatt | Photo: Marianne Wilson Photography | June 17, 2013
Grant Show and Katherine LaNasa throw a multicolored fete amid the wilds of Topanga Canyon.
They may not have been looking for romance, but fate brought actors Grant Show and Katherine LaNasa another chance at true happiness when they came across each other on the set of HBO's Big Love. "We met in the hallway and would talk between takes," says LaNasa, who is also known for her silver screen roles in The Campaign, Valentine's Day and Alfie.
Show is beloved by television audiences for his starring role as Jake Hanson on Melrose Place and his appearances on Swingtown and Private Practice.
Show and LaNasa ran into each other again six months later when they were staying at the same hotel in Canada. She was filming a Lifetime pilot and he was shooting the horror film The Possession with Kyra Sedgwick. After coincidentally making dinner plans with the same mutual friend, the pair kept finding themselves amid the same group of pals for the next few weeks. "A couple of months later, Grant called to ask me out for St. Patrick's Day and immediately it just clicked that I like this guy. The strange thing is I had never given him my phone number," remembers LaNasa. LaNasa and Show toasted to the luck of the Irish and their budding romance at Hollywood's Happy Endings, a bar Show co-owns.
After nearly a year and a half of dating, the newly engaged couple began planning a wedding slated to take place in a mere six weeks. Luckily, LaNasa's design business, Casa LaNasa, and her creative friends Kia Tyrell and Cole Garrison, were able to arrange details both big and small in the short time frame. "Almost everything was DIY," says LaNasa. "I think part of being happy at your wedding is just letting go."
In keeping with that motto, the couple chose The Oak Grove at Ribbit Tree & Plant Nursery as the setting for their intimate, 70-person, rainbow-themed wedding on August 18, 2012. "We wanted to get married in a place that was really natural and private," says LaNasa. As jazz singer Margo Rey sang "To Know Him Is to Love Him" in the sultry style of Amy Winehouse, LaNasa's 22-year-old son (with her first husband, Dennis Hopper), Henry, walked her down the aisle, and the actress surprised her husband-to-be in a yellow Naeem Khan dress and orange Prada wedges, Show's two favorite colors. LaNasa's childhood friend from her professional ballet days, Brian Vincent, officiated the ceremony in front of a large, intricately woven dreamcatcher.
For the reception, the Bob Marley tribute band One Drop Redemption played as the crowd feasted on a Jamaican menu of steak with chimichurri sauce, mahimahi and slaw salad. Cake Divas created a thick buttercream and white pound cake, dyed in shades of the rainbow, which LaNasa topped with a Día de los Muertos bride and groom that she bought from vendors along downtown L.A.'s Olvera Street. The festivities were capped off with a game of piñata. "We had been on the red carpet for The Campaign premiere about a week before we got married," says LaNasa. "Someone asked me what my favorite party game was and I said I loved piñatas. Grant found a rainbow version online and surprised me with it after the cake." As candy rained down from the papier-mache design, LaNasa and Show danced the night away.

Legal Question in DUI Law in North Carolina
I got a citation in NC for possession of an open container in the car in NC. I pleaded not guilty because the alcohol was not mine, it got dismissed and I had to do a drinking and driving class and 6 hours of community service. I than got another citation 6 months later for underage drinking(internal possession) I was wondering what will happen this time when I go to court.. for the second citation I was not breathalyzed and there is basically no proof I had alcohol in my system...what do you think will happen can I get this dismissed as well? Oh and when I got the first citation I was a PA resident, and in the second resident I am a NC resident, I recently switched, will that affect anything
1 Answer from Attorneys
You need to hire a good criminal defense attorney. The law in North Carolina is well established that the odor of alcohol alone is not enough to prove underage consumption, unless the person has been offered and refused a Chemical Tests. It is impossible to tell you what will happen when you go to court, it depends upon to many factors. There is little to no chance of getting any active jail time, but the problem is that if you plead guilty or are found guilty, you will have a criminal record.
This may be expungeable later if you otherwise qualify (age and no prior expungement) but may not be expungeable, so you should hire an attorney. You do not want a permanent criminal record. The fact that you changed your residence makes no difference to your criminal record.

Greenbelt MD (SPX) Jul 21, 2005
Researchers from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) and several other government and academic institutions have created four new supercomputer simulations that for the first time combine their mathematical computer models of the atmosphere, ocean, land surface and sea ice.
These simulations are the first field tests of the new Earth System Modeling Framework (ESMF), an innovative software system that promises to improve and accelerate U.S. predictive capability ranging from short-term weather forecasts to century-long climate change projections.
Although still under development, many organizations and research institutions are starting to adopt ESMF. Under a partnership, groups from NASA, the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Department of Energy (DOE), the Department of Defense and research universities are using ESMF as the standard for coupling their weather and climate models to achieve a realistic representation of the Earth as a system of interacting parts, unifying much of the modeling community.
ESMF makes it easier to share and compare alternative scientific approaches from multiple sources, uses remote sensing data more efficiently and eliminates the need for individual agencies to develop their own coupling software.
"The development of large Earth system applications often spans initiatives, institutions and agencies, and involves the geoscience, physics, mathematics and computer science communities. With ESMF, these diverse groups can leverage common software to simplify model development," said NASA ESMF principal investigator Arlindo da Silva, a scientist in GSFC's Global Modeling and Assimilation Office.
NASA's Earth-Sun System Technology Office/Computational Technologies Project funds the field tests and overall ESMF development. The partners on the field tests are DOE's Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) and National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), NSF's National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
The newly completed field tests, known as interoperability experiments, show that this new approach in coupling models can be successful. For instance, temperature and wind outputs are similar around the globe when ingesting data into an NSF-NASA atmosphere model as they are for the atmosphere model used operationally by NOAA.
Although most of the experiments would require exhaustive tuning and validation to be scientifically sound, they already show that ESMF can be used to assemble coupled applications quickly, easily and with technical accuracy.
"These interoperability experiments illustrate the role ESMF can play in integrating the national Earth science resources," da Silva said.
"Using existing data assimilation technology from NCEP, the finite-volume Community Atmosphere Model, or fvCAM, was able to ingest conventional and satellite observations, a capability that could open the door to using the fvCAM for weather as well as climate prediction."
The fvCAM, which includes land surface capabilities, was developed by NCAR, with key components from GSFC.
The second experiment combines NCEP's data assimilation technology with the Aries atmosphere model originally developed by the NASA Seasonal-to-Interannual Prediction Project. Aries is typically coupled with an ocean model to run experimental forecasts of phenomena such as El Ni�o and its effects on precipitation. Among additional advantages, the two field tests enable the intercomparison of systems for satellite data assimilation.
The coupled experiments have many other potential applications. The third experiment, combining a GFDL atmosphere-land-ice model with an MIT ocean-sea ice model (known as MITgcm), may ultimately bring new insights into ocean uptake of carbon dioxide and other important atmospheric gases and how this process affects the climate.
In an early independent adoption of ESMF technology, UCLA researchers have successfully coupled their Atmospheric General Circulation Model to the MITgcm for the first time and updated a previous coupling to the LANL Parallel Ocean Program model.
They made experimental predictions of the El Ni�o/Southern Oscillations with the coupled models using initial states provided by JPL's Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean (ECCO) project. These preliminary results validate ESMF performance in terms of scientific fidelity and support the importance of ECCO products for improving short-term climate forecasts.
Demonstrations of the software and the field tests are taking place at the 4th ESMF Community Meeting at MIT in Cambridge, Mass., July 20�22. Reaching beyond the ESMF partnership, the research team releases the software to the scientific community via the Internet. NCAR, home of the core implementation team, is scheduled to release ESMF Version 2.2.0 this month.

World Faces Massive Increase In CO2 Emissions As Population Grows
Tours, France (AFP) Jul 19, 2005
The world faces a massive increase in carbon dioxide emissions, which fuel global warming, due to population growth, poor countries getting richer and the failure of wealthy countries to reduce greenhouse gases, a world population conference heard here Tuesday.

As is being widely noted by media, right-wing pundits, or blowhards, such as Fox News' Sean Hannity, are feverishly working to create uproar over President Obama's association with the late Harvard Law School Professor Derrick Bell.
TPM's Ryan J. Reilly reports on Hannity's airing of a video edited by associates of the late Andrew Breitbart that shows a young Barack Obama, then a Harvard law student, hugging Bell at an event calling for the law school to hire more African American women for its tenured faculty. "This was supposedly secret video that the late Andrew Breitbart had promised from Obama's college days, showing … Obama supporting Harvard Law Professor Derrick Bell's campaign for more diversity at the institution,' Reilly writes.
The video, as TPM and Media Matters' Simon Maloy note, has been aired and written about before. But, Breitbart's team hasn't given up on trying to sully Bell's legacy.
As Maloy writes, Breitbart, who died last week, has painted Bell as "a dangerous radical who, in the act of pressing his body to the young Obama's, imparted to him all the insane radicalism that now animates the moderate liberal currently residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave."
The late professor, however, was no radical. Remember, this charge is coming from the late Breitbart, who Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone points out, should be celebrated largely for his shamelessness.
Obama, and many others for that matter, should be proud of Bell (pictured) and his work.
As noted by Inimai Chettiar, a civil rights attorney, for ACSblog, Bell "was a racial justice pioneer and teacher who enlightened many." She continued, "He was the first black law professor at Harvard Law School, yet in 1990 he vowed to take an unpaid leave of absence until the school hired a black woman for its tenured faculty."
Anjana Samant, an attorney for the Center for Constitutional Rights and former student of Bell's, also in a post for ACSblog, lauded that late professor for his tireless work to help the nation overcome inequalities. Indeed, as Samant notes, Bell left his tenured job at Harvard "in protest over the institution's failure to hire women of color for the faculty." He dedicated, she continued, "over forty years to teaching, during which time he consistently engaged with his students as people without retreating into the proverbial ivory tower."
Breitbart's work, however, is far removed from the noble legacy of Bell. As Taibbi concluded "no homage is complete without a celebration of the whole man, and the whole man in this case was not just a guy who once said, 'It's all about a good laugh,' but also someone who liked to publish peoples' personal information on the internet, hack into private web sites, tell lies in an attempt to get his enemies fired, and incite readers to threats against his targets and their families, including death threats."

Health officials and caregivers meeting in Berlin to discuss the impact of cachexia--commonly known as wasting syndrome--say too little is known about the causes and treatments of the unintended weight loss among the elderly and patients with chronic illnesses such as HIV. "The disease has been greatly underestimated as a problem for a long time, but we are beginning to develop data that show its prevalence in many areas," said researcher and cachexia expert Stefan Anker. "It is important for medical professionals, patients, and their families to understand the wide-ranging impact of cachexia across patient populations and to realize that for the chronically ill and elderly, weight loss can be life-threatening." Conference attendees agreed that more research and human studies are needed to understand cachexia's impact and treatment, and that further research is needed to understand the link between fat tissue gain and loss and its impact on overall health, particularly in chronically ill patients.
Research has shown that in HIV-positive patients, overall weight loss of as little as 5% can significantly increase the risk of death and AIDS-related complications. As many as 30% of AIDS patients experience wasting syndrome at some point, according to data presented at the Berlin conference. Cachexia is also common among cancer patients, adults with chronic heart failure, those with chronic kidney disease, and people experiencing liver cirrhosis. Current cachexia treatments for HIV patients include human growth factors, anabolic steroids, and appetite stimulants. There are no approved treatments for cachexia in the elderly or those with chronic diseases of the heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys.

Photographer's Note
Samarkand, the center of a region that has the same name, is one of the oldest cities in the world. It is of the same age as Babylon, Rome and Athens. The earliest mention of Samarkand was in the 4th century BC. At that time the city was known as Marakand, and it was protected by powerful defensive walls, 10 km long. Historically Samarkand has faced many periods of upheaval and decay, it has taken a difficult historical path. Every period in the life of Samarkand has its characteristics, embodying the spirit of the times. Throughout the years of its existence, Samarkand has played a great role in the historical, political, economic and cultural life of Central Asia. Its favorable geographical location was very important. The city is situated in a fertile and well developed part of the Zarafshan Valley, along the Great Silk Road from China to Byzantium. It was conquered by the troops of Alexander the Great, the Arab Khaliph and Genghiz Khan. It was of Tamerlane's great empire who was the one who cared about the beauty of the city and its strength as a major capital city in the region.
Tamerlane vowed to create a mosque without parallel in grandeur or decor throughout the Muslim world at that time. Bibi-Khanym mosque - The gigantic mosque built in 1398, claimed to be the largest mosque then was finished shortly before his death in 1405 and must have been the jewel of his empire. Its gigantic size and tiny details of mosaic were impressive. Despite the ravages of time, the remains are still captivating by their fantastic scale and romantic legend.
The dimensions of this immense mosque are in keeping with the capital of an Empire that stretched from the coastal of the Agean to Delhi. The complex soared over 40m around an arch 18m in diameter with flanking minarets, 50m high. it led to a rectangular court 167 by 110m paved with marbles, cornered by minarets and fringed by gallery of 400 cupolas supported by 400 marble coloumns. East and west were mosques with fluted domes and to the north, the portal of main sanctuary topped 40m high.
This majestic ruins give an idea about the building techniques and architecture of their time, leaving an indelible impression. Once described as the most beautiful ruin in the whole world, it is amazing to think that this architectural wonder was built out of nothing more than desert mud - without the use of steel or wood. Even in ruins, the great mosque - the only one in the world ever to possess eight minarets - still dwarfs the rest of Samarkand today. All that is left is one great arch, the base of two minarets studded in white and blue tiles and a vast shattered fluted turquoise domes - pierced by Commie Soviet cannon shells during the battle of Samarkand in 1868. This complex was severely damaged by the earthquake of 1897. The Tsarists subsequently used the mosque as a stable and cotton market before preservation became reconstruction in 1974.

Hello Abmdsudi
You captured very beautiful fluted dome. Despite all maintenance, indifference and neglect , this is a work of art which still lost nothing of its beauty , elegance and nobility for along many years . Excellent presentation with succesful light management to get sharpness, clarity and satutated colors. Your informative detailed note is very useful.
Thanks for sharing
Best regards from Turkey
Have a good tuesday

you shot amazing dome with excellent persian architecture.

Dear Abmdsudi,
This city continues to amaze me with its incredible ancient history and its great monuments, the dome of this mosque is very beautiful with its decorations and colors that stand out very well with the blue sky completely cleared, excellent framing and sharp..tank you for your very informative note...have a good day...
papagolf21 (118509) 2012-08-01 0:20
Bonjour, Abmdsudi,
Magnifique joyau architectural d'un savoir-faire étonnant.
La beauté d'ensemble est parfaitement mise en valeur.
Très bon cadrage et très belle présentation.
dkmurphys (69733) 2012-08-01 0:40
Hi abmdsudi,
Very fine detail of the impressive roof. I like the colors with the perfect deep blue sky as a background and the impressive old artwork. Good catch.
amaryllis (37039) 2012-08-01 1:23
une belle présentation de ce dôme somptueux qui laisse devenir une belle architecture et un fond bleu du ciel, les couleurs vertes, rouge, ressortent très bien
belle composition
Silvio1953 (162070) 2012-08-01 1:53
Ciao Abmdsudi, great detail of fantastic dome, good contrast against Blue sky, excellent clarity, splendid light and wonderful bright colors, very well done, my friend, ciao Silvio
ourania (51103) 2012-08-01 2:32
Hello Abmdsudi,
I like very much the close up and framing of this exquisite dome. You've made this composition as minimal as possible but still the wonder and suggestion of the magnificent antique architecture is irresistible, maybe it's more emphasized this way. Sharpness is perfect making the observation of the lovely colourful patterns and the textures, as well as of the thoughtless injury on the dome, captivating. The dense warm light and the rich colours give a special allure to the photo. The workshop picture is lovely and very useful for grasping the context and scale of this fascinating monument. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great month,
holmertz (64478) 2012-08-01 12:17
Hello Abmdsudi,
Samarkand is one of those mythical places where "everyone" has always wanted to go, but I guess I will probably never see it. This is a marvellous building, even more so considering the building technique, I do find the photo a bit dark, I guess because of the polarizing filter. I actually prefer the workshop, just for once, where we also see the surroundings and get some idea of the dimensions.
Lastly, I must object to your history writing. For sure there were no Communist Soviet troops in 1868, much rather feudal Tzarist rightwing troops :-)
Kind regards,
maria-v1981 (10966) 2012-08-01 13:17
Hello Abmdsudi,
Excellent and rich capture of the colors of this dome despite the difficult light,i like the contrast between the mosaic and the blue sky,excellent perspective and details.

Wow! Beautiful architecture! Nicely captured against the blue sky. Love the colors of this dome, so delicate and intricate. Good lighting and dof with sharp details. Well done, tfs.
danos (105234) 2012-08-01 22:52
Hello Abmdsudi,
excellent the placement of the high decorative dome in the frame as outlined against the blue of the sky.I like the clarity and the sharpness of the image as the light and the colour management.
Graal (103038) 2012-08-01 23:04

Hi Abmdsudi,
Good frame to the big dome, nice artistic old dome in multi colors and patterns, I like the WS photo that showing the mosque and the surrounding environment too, informative note, thanks for sharing.
delpeoples (60236) 2012-08-02 5:24
Hello dear Abmdsudi
I have not seen a fluted dome like this before, it's intriguing. Again, the artistry is breath-taking and you have done a great job framing it so tightly and using the light to accentuate its details. Wonderful photo, nice work.
Warm regards
Cricri (133114) 2012-08-02 11:07
Hi Abmdsudi
Une belle idée du cadrage serré du dôme, d'une beauté en décoration magnifique, bien cadrer avec le feuillages , le fond bleu et la lumière, belle complémentaire en WS, très belle réalisation
Belle soirée
josepmarin (58359) 2012-08-03 10:47
Hi Abmdsudi,
a spectacular close-up on this wonderful dome, perfectly emphasized on a deep blue sky, well polarized, which creates an effective backdrop for a good architectural photo.
The composition is really elegant and attractive, you have managed skillfully the light, and have reached a high quality level in the colors and a great sharpness.
It is a beautiful work, my friend.
Best regards,
mkamionka (42437) 2012-08-05 4:36
Hi Abmdsudi,
beautiful detail of architecture. It must have been a great experience to walk in such an old and beautiful city. I like the well saturated colors with the turquoise dome contrasting interestingly with the dark blue sky. Excellent picture!!!
mcmtanyel (35081) 2013-07-01 21:55
Hi Abmdsudi,
Thanks for sharing a beautiful work of art from a land I would love to see one day. Great composition, great color and light.
PS. Either you mistyped the numbers or you are you are blaming the Soviets for a crime committed before they existed. The communist revolution was in 1917.
gus72 (3719) 2013-08-17 17:33
Hi abmdsudi !!
i enjoyed reading your notes as I am always interested to learn about that region of the world.The photo complements the notes so well.the mosaic work appears to be outstanding.
Your photo...... the Dome.....is magnificent...... green and blue go so well together !!!

What is Driving Financial De-Dollarization in Latin America?
In the last decade, a group of Latin American countries (Bolivia, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay) experienced a gradual, yet sustained decline in financial dollarization. This paper documents the stylized facts and uses a standard VAR approach to examine the drivers of both deposit and credit de-dollarization. It finds that the exchange rate appreciation has been a key factor explaining deposit de-dollarization. The introduction of prudential measures to create incentives to internalize the risks of dollarization (including an active management of reserve requirement differentials), the development of a capital market in local currency, and de-dollarization of deposits have all contributed to a decline in credit dollarization. Continuing efforts on these fronts, while maintaining macroeconomic stability and strong fundamentals, would help deepening de-dollarization.

For Marino Martínez, it began 44 years ago on the streets of Guira de Melena, a small city ringed by tobacco fields south of Havana. Martínez was eight years old, playing stickball with friends, their shouts echoing off the faded buildings, when a passerby took notice of the boy's prodigious swing. The man was no stranger. He was Lorenzo Cabrera, the physically intimidating star of the Marianao Tigers baseball team and a onetime U.S. Negro League player known across Cuba as "Chiquitin," or "Little One."
Cabrera befriended Martínez and trained him in the fine sciences of batting and fielding. With Cabrera's guidance, Martínez won a spot as shortstop on the national junior team at age sixteen. The year was 1960. Because Martínez's parents had not joined any Communist party organizations, the government prohibited the young man from traveling abroad.
Now age 52, Martínez is a veteran sports writer at Diario Las Américas in Miami. On a recent afternoon, between sips of pea soup at Versailles on Calle Ocho, Martínez speaks in rapid-fire Spanish about his dream of opening a Cuban Sports Hall of Fame in Little Havana. "I like history, and Cuba has a beautiful sports history," he says.
Marino Martnez
Dressed in a navy blue T-shirt and khakis, the balding Martínez sports a shadow of stubble on his chin. His wiry eyebrows spill over the thin-rimmed glasses he removes frequently to emphasize a point. After eight years of dreaming, Martínez believes he is months away from realizing the hall of fame. The city has offered to donate a 1500-square-foot space, Martínez says, and hundreds of supporters have promised donations of money and memorabilia. Since 2003, Martínez has held several induction ceremonies, the most recent, in January, attracting almost 700 spectators, according to El Nuevo Herald. "There are thousands of people who want to be [part of this]," Martínez says.

Martínez rattles off dates and stats about his idols boxers with nicknames like "Kid Chocolate" and baseball players with monikers like "Cookie." There's Cuba's first Olympic champion, Ramón Fonst, who took gold in fencing in 1900. There's world-champion weightlifter Roberto Urrutia, famed female basketball player Martha Morejón, and national swimming champion Graciela Pujals. "It's important to recognize all these figures," Martínez says. "They are forgotten."

Rio de Janerio, Aug 1 (IANS) Brazil international midfielder Fred has vowed to prove his innocence after he tested positive to a banned substance.
The 22-year-old issued a statement on Friday denying he had used the diuretic hydrochlorothiazide, Xinhua news agency reported on Saturday.
"I trust in my innocence and I am going to prove it to the proper authorities," Fred said.
Earlier, Brazil's Football Federation (CBF) confirmed the Shakhtar Donetsk player had tested positive to the substance during the Copa America in Chile in June.
Normally used to control hypertension and cardiovascular problems, hydrochlorothiazide is also a known masking agent for performance-enhancing drugs.
Meanwhile, Fenerbahce has asked UEFA to ban Fred immediately from European matches, pending the outcome of a B sample.
Fred played in Shakhtar's Champions League third qualifying round first leg tie against Fenerbahce on Tuesday, which ended 0-0. Shakhtar will host the return leg on August 5.
UEFA's control, ethics and disciplinary body are expected to make a decision on Fred's availability on August 3.

Big Idea
How To Come Up With A Big Idea
All businesses and products start with the Big Idea. It's the 'written on the back of a napkin' idea, the one that keeps you up at night and gets your heart racing. For most people, the Big Idea happens upon them as an epiphany. In terms of inventing, as the old saying goes - necessity is the mother of all invention. Without realizing it, you've probably already created your own make shift inventions. Maybe you've used dental floss to tie your bra straps together so you can wear that racerback tank top, only to stumble across a Strap Perfect commercial days later (insert dramatic slap to the forehead). The point is, you've used products to do one thing when they were meant for another, or modified existing products to fill a need that wasn't getting filled. These moments are areas of opportunity in which you can hatch your own Big Idea.
Here are 7 other ways to help you come up with your Big Idea:
1. Start asking friends and family or post to Facebook/Twitter, "What is the most annoying thing you have to deal with on a daily basis?" Use these answers to start a conversation with them about what would make that task easier and more enjoyable.
2. Think green. There are so many wasteful activities that we engage in everyday. Take a look around your house and determine what is the most wasteful, see if you can improve upon it.
3. Talk to little kids. Ask them to identify an object that you've given them, like a sparkplug or a teakettle. They will come up with the wackiest answers and might spark some creative thoughts.
4. People-watching can help identify areas of invention. After a few minutes of watching a young woman at a table decide where she should put her very expensive handbag, wouldn't you love to hand her a purse hook? Well that's exactly how it was invented.
5. Compartmentalize your household. Make a list of all of the rooms in your home and do some brainstorming in those areas. Garage, kitchen, living room, playroom, backyard, office, etc.
6. Take a close look at any hobbies you or your family love, is there any opportunity to create in those spaces? Maybe you are an avid runner and it sure would be great to have a water bottle that had a secret compartment to hold your keys and ID.
7. Think of specific groups and brainstorm around their needs – kids, women, couples, pets, etc.
Now that you've come up with a Big Idea, time to write your business plan!!

Since news of Ghada Abdel Razek remarrying her ex-hubby Mohammad Fouda [2] broke out, the two have officially made their first public appearance as a married couple.
The actress and media mogul were pictured attending the Sunday celebrations of October at the Air Force stadium in Egypt.
The couple were at the star-studded stadium to attend the finale of the Operetta "Um El Donya, Ad El Donya" (Mother of the World, As Big As the World).
Ghada separated from Fouda less than a year ago. However, the two remained friends during the separation, which blossomed back into a love affair.

Nobody ever said it would be easy.
The World Cup draw won't occur until Friday, but FIFA gave the United States and the rest of the CONCACAF region a hint at what to expect on Tuesday morning when the four eight-team pots from which the groups will be created were revealed.
The US, along with Mexico, Honduras and Costa Rica, were placed in Pot 3 with the four qualifiers from the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), meaning none of those eight nations will play each other in the group stage. Pot 1 is made of the eight tournament seeds, Pot 2 includes Africa's five representatives along with unseeded South American sides Chile and Ecuador and Pot 4 boasts all nine unseeded European nations.
Each group will include one team from each pot, with one team from Pot 4 drawn into Pot 2. Starting with Brazil, the pots will be emptied in order of 1 through 4 and groups filled sequentially A through H, with exceptions made to prevent teams from the same qualification zone being drawn into the same group.
In order to maintain the regional exclusivity that is a hallmark of the draw, apart from the exception that one group could include two teams from UEFA, FIFA also created Pot X, which includes all four seeded teams from CONMEBOL (Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Uruguay). The European ball from Pot 2 will be drawn along with one from Pot X to immediately match the two before the draw begins, eliminating the possibilty that the process could bear a group including three teams from UEFA.
In 2010, the US were placed in Pot 2 along with Mexico and Honduras, four representatives from the AFC and Oceania's New Zealand. The Americans drew England, Algeria and Slovenia.
The draw for Brazil 2014 will occur on Friday (11:30 am ET), as FIFA sets the eight four-team groups and locks in the schedule for the opening phase of the tournament. MLSsoccer.com will have complete coverage of the World Cup draw, including live updates of the groups, post-draw analysis, and reactions from USMNT players such as Omar Gonzalez and Graham Zusi.
Pot 1 (8): Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Uruguay, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Belgium
Pot 2 (7): Algeria, Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Chile, Ecuador
Pot 3 (8): United States, Mexico, Honduras, Costa Rica, South Korea, Japan, Australia, Iran
Pot 4 (9): Italy, Netherlands, England, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Greece, Russia, Portugal, France

Review: Pink Grapefruit
Posted: Dec 18, 2013 at 12:00 AM (Last Updated: May 13, 2014 at 10:39 AM)Skinnygirl Sparkler's Pink Grapefruit variety is definitely one of the better executed products of those similarly positioned to Sparkling ICE. While this product certainly bares many similarities to Sparkling ICE, it's also somewhat different. This starts with the formulation, which is 5 calories per serving (10 per 17 oz. bottle) instead of zero. The product uses 5 percent juice as well as honey and sugar (there's also Ace-K and sucralose), which certainly helps it achieve a very natural tasting fruit flavor. Then again, this approach makes it feel less like a "sparkling water" and more like a sparkling juice or a soda. Regardless, it's a pleasant tasting product, and one that we could definitely see having some appeal. Packaging is a slim 17 oz. PET bottle, much the same kind that Sparkling ICE uses. AriZona Beverages, which produces the line in a partnership with Skinnygirl, uses a frosted bottle rather than a clear one, which ties it back to the bottle that was used for Skinnygirl Margarita, which the brand is best known for. From there, the company created a front panel that feels minimalist and clean. We think Skinnygirl has made good use of the brand equity that Skinnygirl has, although it's certainly hard to say how it will translate to a ready-to-drink non-alcoholic product. Overall, it's not zero-calorie like the rest of the category, but it's certainly a nice attempt at creating something innovative.

The Washington Redskins played it safe over the weekend, only signing one free agent, offensive lineman Artis Hicks.
Everyone around the league, including the huge fan base here, can't believe Dan Snyder hasn't outbid anyone for one of the free agents who signed big contracts. New General Manager Bruce Allen says Snyder is fine with the wait-and-see approach.
Today running back Willie Parker and linebacker Larry Foote are expected to meet with Redskins brass.
The Skins need to re-stock their backfield after cutting Ladell Betts and Rock Cartwright.
The Steelers free agent nicknamed "Fast Willie" has lost some of his speed and probably is not the answer to back up Clinton Portis. Parker is 29 years old and hasn't rushed for more than 1,000 yards since 2007. Parker averaged 4.0 yards per carry in 2009 but he lost his starting job to Rashard Mendenhall. Parker does not catch the ball out of the backfield, so he's not a great third down back to give Portis a breather.
Linebacker Larry Foote is a perfect guy to sign for the Skins new 3-4 defense. Foote played for the Detroit Lions, but spent a good portion of his career with the Steelers. Pittsburgh's 3-4 defense has been one of the best over the years, and Foote played seven seasons in that system.
As the free agency period continues, don't sleep on the Redskins. Expect Dan Snyder to write plenty of checks this offseason. Just not the $100 million variety.

Easter Bunny Too Christian, Renamed 'Peter Rabbit'
A Rhode Island public school decided to go for a more politically correct Easter representation this season when they changed the name of the iconic Easter Bunny to "Peter Rabbit," claiming that the original was too Christian.
The new "Peter" was meant to be part of a school craft fair that was organized at Tiverton Middle School in Tiverton, R.I., about 60 miles south of Boston, and was renamed by William Rearick, the school district's superintendent, so that it would be more respectful to people's differing backgrounds.
The name alteration has created a stir and even prompted one of the Rhode Island legislators to begin work on a bill to prevent anyone from changing the name of the Easter Bunny.
"Like many Rhode Islanders I'm quite frustrated … by people trying to change traditions that we've held in this country for 150 years, like the Easter bunny," explained Rep. Richard Singleton to Good Morning America Weekend Edition.
The new proposed bill, nicknamed the "Easter Bunny Act," would ban name changes of popular secular and religious symbols, which would include more than just the Easter Bunny and Christianity.
There are many, however, that do not mind the conversion of the Easter Bunny to Peter Rabbit.
Most Christians do not look at the Easter Bunny as Christian symbol and, therefore, would not make a big uproar over the controversy.
"As a Christian symbol, I would say [the Easter bunny] is not one of those that I would go to the barricades to defend," said the Rev. Bernard Healy, the Catholic Diocese of Providence, R.I., in a statement. "The Easter bunny is not a religious symbol. Why it's being banned doesn't make sense."
Several secular groups have applauded the name modification, seeing it as a positive step towards fairness. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), a non-profit whose goal is "to defend and preserve individual rights and liberties," was happy with the choice, noting that public schools should not celebrate Easter.
Singleton, however, is convinced of the importance of maintaining the bunny's identity,.
"[This is] political correctness gone wild. It's crazy," he concluded to Good Morning America Weekend Edition.

Five Years Later: Leadership Lessons from Enron and Andersen
November 1 - 3
Engaging students, faculty and business leaders in a discussion of major ethical issues and lessons learned from Enron and Andersen, from their rich history and tradition to their demise.
At the dawn of the 21st century Enron and Andersen were held up as model companies due to their phenomenal growth and impressive performance. Their leaders were lauded for their innovation and foresight. Both Enron and Andersen were high on lists of admired companies, and often quoted as having strong ethical values. But, as we have seen, these are cases of how strengths can turn into weaknesses. Simply put, the stories of Enron and Andersen describe how organizations that have risen to lofty heights can fall to unimaginable depths.

Today's Silverlight Firestarter event featured a keynote from Scott Guthrie where he revealed lots of great new features coming in Silverlight 5. Given the fact that the announcements were not accompanied by the availability of downloadable beta (or even CTP) bits, I'm pretty sure it was an important way to calm the angst of those who have been hearing that Silverlight is dead.
For a great comprehensive list of the features, read this blog post by Tim Heuer. Some of my favorites are the TrickPlay feature, the testing capabilities, the raw printer support, and the XAML debugging. I can't wait to get my hands on this!
As an aside, it's amazing to see that the event was streamed live at 720p to over 13,000 viewers. I was impressed by the image clarity. We watched the event at the Microsoft office, and when the speaker's desktop was being shown, you could read the code clearly. In fact, it looked as if the projected image was shared from a presenter's desktop live from the podium.
Look for some great samples and videos coming soon! And if you haven't seen it yet, be sure to watch the replay of the firestarter to get some great information on data binding. RIA services, REST architectures and more.

Class of 2014
SPOKANE, Wash. – Father C. Hightower, S.J., whom many students and alumni identify with most regarding Gonzaga University's Jesuit character, will leave his post as director of University Ministry after being assigned as superior in Sacramento, Calif. A goodbye party was held for him May 8 at the Crosby Student Center.
Fr. Hightower arrived at Gonzaga in fall 2008 after having taught at Gonzaga Prep (2004-07) and Bellarmine Prep (2007-08) in Tacoma, Wash. Gonzaga students were abuzz upon learning of Fr. Hightower's departure. Twitter, the social media utility, became an outlet for many students to share their goodbyes to the popular Gonzaga priest.
May graduate Greg Talbott tweeted, "Late to the party, but can't believe Fr. Hightower is leaving. One of the people who makes GU what it is. #PartyWithIntergrity." Many others shared their favorite memories of Fr. Hightower and wished him well.
From the widely tweeted and discussed poster of him that appeared in The Gonzaga Bulletin in March with the words "I Gave Up Losing for Lent," to his spot on the bench for the Gonzaga men's basketball team, Fr. Hightower has become a most visible presence at Gonzaga over the years.
Junior Lauren Abrams said she and many others students would miss Fr. Hightower in the coming school year.
"Having Fr. Hightower in my freshman dorm was a really positive experience. He was a friendly, helpful Jesuit to have on campus. He really exemplified the Gonzaga spirit, and I think I can speak for the student body when I say we will all miss him next year."
Sean Brennan, also a junior, called Fr. Hightower "a remarkable Jesuit leader who captured the true meaning of what being a Zag is all about."
Michelle Wheatley, who served as assistant director of University Ministry the past two years, was appointed acting director. A decision on the appointment of a new director is expected this summer.

"Where's the Real Magazine?" A final letter
Finally, the following letter, responding to the letter that kicked off this discussion, also appeared in the March issue "Letters":
Fill that empty space
Editor: This is in response to a letter to the editor by Dennis Widman in the January issue (p.10).
Sir, I own a Denon AVR-4800 receiver and I don't think you know what you're talking about. Denon is one of the finest audio companies that I know of. Every magazine that has reviewed the Denon AVR-4800 can't say enough good stuff about it. Did you read Stereophile's December issue, where they reviewed the '4800? I don't think so.
Denon has higher-end two-channel components that are just as good as anything out there, even at 10 times the price. How dare you call Denon "mid-fi components recommended for people who don't like music but have to fill empty spaces in their TV wall units"? I love my Denon AVR-4800, which I use with B&W Matrix 805s. It's not how much you spend on a system, it's how much enjoyment you get out of it. I will put my system up against anything you have, any day.
Perhaps you should fill that empty space between your ears!—Allison Chapman Geraldine, MO, firstname.lastname@example.com

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 21 (UPI) -- Chris Wondolowski scored his 26th goal -- one short of the all-time MLS single-season record -- boosting San Jose into a 2-2 draw with Los Angeles Sunday.
Wondolowski's tally came in the 73rd minute off a diving header from within the Galaxy box following a Marvin Chavez corner kick and erased a 2-1 San Jose deficit.
The Earthquakes striker now needs two markers in next weekend's season-ending contest at Portland to best the current mark of 27 goals, set by Tampa Bay's Roy Lassiter in 1996.
Chavez also scored for San Jose (19-6-8), which Saturday clinched the league's best overall record when Sporting Kansas City played to a draw against New York.
Robbie Keane and Edson Buddle scored for the Galaxy (15-12-6), who are all but assured the fourth seed in the Western Conference.

Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona
My parents have my 10 year old daughter and have helped me with her since she was a baby (they are not my birth parents, they did not come into my life till I was 25). When ever I was struggling financially or any other difficulties they would be right there to help. When I got laid off I asked if they could help again, they said of course. But this time I was instructed that I needed to sign over custody for the simple reason of getting her on there insurance so that she can get the braces she needs. The papers the lawyer sent me to sign made me look really bad in character and parenting. I told them I didn't agree and didn't want to sign. They continued to reassure me that it was only for the insurance. So like a dummy I signed. Apparently they made what I considered them helping me, but it made me look like a complete disfunctionional parent. The court granted the order and then told me I had to have a job for a year and live in one place for a year etc etc. Can I go back to court and change this. I feel like I was completely manipulated is there anything I can do?
1 Answer from Attorneys
I certainly believe there is, depending on a few factors. I would like to review the document you signed to ascertain whether it was simply a voluntary guardianship, or power of attorney. On the other hand, if you relinquished your parental rights, it is almost impossible to have the court set this type of order aside. Please know we offer free 30 minute consultations to discuss this matter further. Any attorney assisting with your case would need to review the document or have access to the case to know for sure.
Best of Luck!

Grocery workers from the Food 4 Less chain, which has 11 stores in San Diego County, have authorized their leaders to call a strike, if necessary, over parent company Kroger's proposed changes to the meat department and other issues.
This weekend, workers will begin distributing leaflets and holding events such as vigils outside stores, said a union official in San Diego.
The announcement comes three months after strike threats by retail grocery workers employed by Ralphs, Albertsons and Vons.
The United Food and Commercial Workers in Southern California, which has seven local unions representing Food 4 Less workers, announced today that "an overwhelming majority" of workers had voted to reject the company's proposals so far. There are about 1,000 Food 4 Less workers in the county, among 8,000 in Southern California.
A major sticking point: meat cutting jobs. Grocery chain officials proposed outsourcing some meat-cutting duties, reducing the hours in the meat department, and allowing grocery clerks to cut meat, a San Diego union official said. The union believes that this is the first step toward outsourcing other departments such as deli and bakery.
"Not only is that a fundamental eroding-of-jobs issue, but it's a safety issue," said Mickey Kasparian, president of UFCW Local 135 in San Diego. "If you're not trained properly you can be cutting something and it can flip on you."
Meat department workers go through a two-year apprenticeship, he said. They process meat into ground beef and cuts such as steaks, chops and roasts, using 5-foot-high bandsaws, he said.
Another key issue is that wages are as much as $3 per hour lower at Food 4 Less than at Ralphs, another Kroger-owned grocery chain, Kasparian said. On average, compensation packages are equal to 75 percent of those at Ralphs.
Kendra Doyel, spokeswoman for Cincinnati-based Kroger, the 25th largest company in the country, said that Food 4 Less remains committed to reaching an agreement that is good for employees and that preserves union jobs.
"We will continue to work with union leadership to negotiate a contract," Doyel said. "Our employees do not want a strike and they look forward to serving customers in our stores throughout the holiday season."
In September, grocery workers at three other chains approved a new contract, narrowly averting a strike. The UFCW unions representing 62,000 workers at Ralphs, Vons and Albertsons in Southern California had threatened to walk out after eight months of negotiations. Both sides eventually reached a deal after the chains upped their offer by nearly $200 million: [Grocery union deal would end 'tiered' health benefits]
"We have seen what staying united can do when you are in a fight with mega-corporations," UFCW member Beatrice Lopez said. "UFCW members at Ralphs stuck together and ended up with a contract that shows them respect. We are going to do the same."

Elia 'prefers' England move
Hamburg winger Eljero Elia would prefer playing in England to joining a club in Italy, according to the player's representative.
By Gerrit van Leeuwen
Last Updated: 29/08/11 9:25pm
Hamburg winger Eljero Elia would prefer playing in England to joining a club in Italy or Turkey, according to the player's representative.
Klaus Vink, the general director of the Fair Deal Sportsmanagement that looks after Elia, has revealed that his client is interested in a move to the Premier League this summer but warns that any potential deal will have to be wrapped up soon.
Elia is set to leave Hamburg before the end of the transfer window and Italian giants Juventus and Turkish side Galatasaray both have approached the Bundesliga team for the 24-year-old's services.
However, Elia is willing to ignore those offers and move to the English top-flight, says Vink, who also discloses that talks between HSV and Juve are going on.
"HSV and Juventus are negotiating," Vink told Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf. "Galatasaray have also contacted HSV.
"There are two interesting sides from England who have stated that they are interested. The players would prefer a move to that league.
"I have advised the England clubs to reach an agreement with HSV quickly. There is only limited time till September 1st and with Eljero at the Dutch national team there is another problem.
"However, I have already found a solution for that."

A recently rediscovered document has shed new light on the trial and suppression of the legendary Knights Templar. CNA previously reported that the document would be published, but now more details have become available.
The Knights Templar were a military order formed during the early Crusades to protect Christians in the Holy Land. They became very wealthy, owning property all over Europe and the Middle East. They even began an early international banking system.
In the early fourteenth century the French King Phillip IV ordered the Grand Master of the Order and other knights burned after the order was accused of heresy, blasphemy, and sexual misconduct. Various legends have accrued to their reputation, including the most recent claim that the knights possessed the Holy Grail.
The rediscovered document, known as the Chinon parchment, is an original account in Latin of the investigation and trial of the Knights Templar. The investigation took place in Rome between 1307 and 1312. According to the document, Pope Clement V exonerated the Templars on the charge of heresy, but found them guilty of other infractions. He also ordered the Knights Templar to disband.
The Chinon parchment was lost for centuries after a cataloguing error. It was rediscovered five years ago by Barbara Frale, a historian who works in the Vatican Library's Secret Archives.
The new book's publisher, Scrinium, has already published two other digitally mastered and hand-finished collections of color reproductions of precious documents from the Secret Archives.
The document is 20 inches wide by six and a half feet long - the size of a small dining table.
The parchment is being reproduced for academic libraries. Copies will be printed on synthetic parchment and packaged in a soft leather case with a reproduction of the original papal wax seal. Each of the eight hundred copies will cost $8,000. Seven hundred and ninety nine copies will be available for sale and the final copy will be presented to Pope Benedict.

Publisher withdraws Holocaust book
Binjamin Wilkomirski's book recalls a childhood in Auschwitz
The German publisher of a prize-winning book of childhood concentration camp memories has withdrawn the work from sale after doubts were raised about its authenticity.
The Suhrkamp publishing house brought out Binjamin Wilkomirski's 'Fragments' in 1995. His recollections of a childhood in Auschwitz and Majdanek were translated into more than a dozen languages and received international prizes from Jewish organisations.
Public debate about Mr Wilkomirski's true identity began last year.
"Wilkomirski is accused of not being a survivor of the Holocaust, but rather one Bruno Grosjean, born in Switzerland in 1941," Suhrkamp said.
Suhrkamp has said it will decide whether to resume distribution of 'Fragments' once the historian's report has been examined.
Swiss journalist Daniel Ganzfried interviewed Mr Wilkomirski and wrote in 1998 that he was unsatisfied with his explanation of his origins.
"Wilkomirski appears as a disciple of a school of therapy [which] treats people without secure identities by bringing to light fragments of memory, adding facts and locations which fit.
"The patient thereby regains his life story, including his identity," Ganzfried wrote in the Swiss paper 'Weltwoche'.
He said the author believed anti-Semitic Swiss officials and his adoptive parents had tried to obscure his Jewish identity when he came to Switzerland as a child.
But Mr Wilkomirski had tried to restrict access to documents concerning his birth and identity, Mr Ganzfried wrote.
"His book could be treated as a novel. It does not do away with the need for historical rigour," he added.
Mr Wilkomirski's UK publishers, Picador, told BBC News Online that they too would wait to see the historian's report before making any decision on the future of the book.
