After the trailer sent fans into a frenzy of speculation, we've finally got some new details on Rogue One, courtesy of Entertainment Weekly. One of the most intriguing revelations was that Forest Whitaker is playing a character we've seen before in the TV show Star Wars: Clone Wars. It turns out that Whitaker is playing Saw Gerrera, one of the protagonists of Clone Wars Season 5's first story arc.
Saw and his sister Steela lead a rebel faction on the planet Onderon, fighting against Separatist forces to eventually free their planet from occupation. Along with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, young Jedi commander Ahsoka Tano was sent to train the rebel troops. Although Obi-Wan and Anakin were called away, Ahsoka remained to help the rebellion as much as she could.
Ahsoka was a vital asset to the fledging rebellion, teaching them the best methods to battle droids and helping them strategize. Her relationship with both Steela and Saw developed nicely, as they went from comrades-in-arms to friends.
Ahsoka Is A Vital Ally Of Saw
Saw Gerrera is an interesting character — brash and impulsive, Saw was the first leader of the rebel faction until the group later elected his sister Steela to be the new commander. He had a good dynamic with Ahsoka, trusting her judgment and appreciating her help with the fight. Ultimately though, this arc had a tragic end, as Ahsoka was unable to save Steela in the final battle.
Saw blamed himself for his sister's death, and vowed to help Onderon recover from Separatist occupation. Saw and Ahsoka parted as allies, promising to help each other in the future should the need arise.
Because Ahsoka is such a beloved character among fans, it would be fantastic for Saw to make some allusion to his old ally in Rogue One. A cameo from Ahsoka isn't out of the question either, considering her role in the Rebel Alliance at this time and her connection to Darth Vader.
From A Jedi To A Rebel General
Ahsoka's story is a fascinating one. Starting off as a bright-eyed Jedi Padawan at the beginning of Clone Wars, Ahsoka later became disillusioned with the Jedi Council after being framed for several homicides. Although she cleared her name, Ahsoka refused to rejoin the ranks of the Jedi, which ultimately spared her from the Order 66 massacre.
Ahsoka returned in the sequel TV show Star Wars: Rebels, secretly working to unify rebel factions into what would later become the Rebel Alliance. Known as Fulcrum, Ahsoka gave the rebel groups individual missions and eventually revealed herself in Season 2 as the Alliance came together. Her role in the Rebellion was essential, and as Rebels is set only four years before Rogue One, we can assume that Ahsoka is alive and well and working as some kind of Rebel leader.
Rebels Season 2 really built up Ahsoka's character as she hunted down the mysterious Sith lord who was hunting her own rebel troops. Naturally, this turned out to be Darth Vader, leading to an emotional battle between Vader and Ahsoka — as Anakin was Ahsoka's Jedi master, the two have a vast connected history.
Now that Darth Vader is confirmed to appear in Rogue One, this could be the perfect time to introduce Ahsoka to film fans, especially considering her connection to Saw Gerrera too.
While Ahsoka's story is being developed in Rebels, the Season 2 finale left us on a cliffhanger as to whether she survived the fight with Vader. A cameo from Ahsoka in Rogue One could resolve this plot line, as well as dropping hints for Rebels Season 3. Ahsoka is a much-loved character, thanks to her bravery and skill as a Jedi warrior. We'd be delighted to see her in the Star Wars films someday, and Rogue One might just herald her entrance into the cinematic narrative. Here's hoping!

Striped bass illness baffles Bay scientists
A handful of scientists around the Bay are trying to solve a baffling ecological mystery: They want to know why as many as half of the Chesapeake's striped bass are infected with a disease rarely seen in the wild.
Before showing up in the Chesapeake in recent years, the disease — mycobacteriosis — had never before been reported in wild fish on the East Coast, according to researchers. Further, scientists in both Maryland and Virginia believe they have discovered new varieties of the disease. ...

AHCF and the AHC Association of Iceland have collaborated to fund a research grant awarded to Dr. J Koenderink of the Netherlands. Another important research project getting us ever closer to a treatment and a cure! Thanks to all the families who fundraise and make it possible.
Press Release: September 7th 2013
AHC Foundation and AHC Association of Iceland have awarded Professor Koenderink of the Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre a €20,000 grant.
AHC is caused by mutations in ATP1A3
Currently, more than 20 different AHC mutations have been reported.
At this moment it is very important to fully understand the molecular consequences of all these mutations.
This research will attempt to explore and understand the direct relation between these mutations and AHC.
AHC is a rare (1/1.000.000) disease that is caused by a mutation in a gene, ATP1A3. The mutation causes temporal paralyzes in one or both sides of the body. AHC is often accompanied with dystonia, nystagmus, epilepsy and developmental delays.

January 30 2013 Issue
Annual Export Strategy Reviews Progress, Outlines Future Efforts
The Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee released recently the 2012 National Export Strategy, which reviews progress made to date toward President Obama's goal of doubling U.S. exports by the end of 2014 and discusses additional efforts that will be made in 2013.
Export Figures. The report notes that U.S. goods and services exports reached a record $2.1 trillion in 2011, a 33% increase from 2009, and were up an additional $76.5 billion through September 2012. Also in 2011 the U.S. ran record trade surpluses in services ($178.5 billion) and agriculture ($37.2 billion).
A record 293,000 U.S. companies exported in 2010, up 6% from 2009, including an all-time high of 287,000 small and medium-sized enterprises. Also that year SMEs' share of overall U.S. exports rose to 34% (from 27% in 2002) and the value of their exports was more than $380 billion, a 24% jump over the previous year.
Achievements. The report lists the following achievements in implementing the more than 70 recommendations for boosting U.S. exports that were made in the initial NES in June 2011.
Metropolitan Export Plans. The Department of Commerce has collaborated with the Brookings Institution Metropolitan Policy Program on its effort to help regional civic, business and political leaders create and implement customized metropolitan export plans. These localized plans apply market intelligence to develop better, targeted and integrated export-related services and strategies to help regions better connect their firms to global customers, as outlined by their individualized export goals. Pilot plans have been completed and made available online in Los Angeles, Portland, Ore., Minneapolis and Syracuse, NY. As a next step, Brookings has developed a metropolitan export strategy template that builds on these pilot MEPs and is working to help facilitate the adoption of export plans in additional markets.
USTDA Partnerships. The U.S. Trade and Development Agency launched "Making Global Local," an initiative designed to build strategic partnerships between USTDA and local business organizations. Partner organizations include World Trade Centers, local non-profit economic development organizations, state or municipal governmental entities, and others. USTDA currently has 17 partner organizations in California, Colorado, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Virginia and Washington.
Containers for Exports. To help expand the availability of containers for exports the Department of Transportation has provided credit assistance for inland port facilities in Joliet, Ill., and Kansas City, Mo. These ports allow double-stack container trains to move marine containers directly from West Coast ports to the Midwest, where they are unloaded into trucks for final delivery. The inland ports then have a ready supply of empty containers that can be filled with grain and manufactured goods for export.
The Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service has begun publishing a weekly report that provides data on the availability of ocean shipping containers at 18 intermodal locations around the U.S. Data provided in this report indicate that the worldwide supply of containers grew by 7.0% in 2010 and 8.5% in 2011.
Trade Agreement Compliance. Under the Trade Agreement Compliance Program, federal agencies work with individual firms or business groups to identify barriers to exports and then use the leverage of existing trade agreements to seek removal of those barriers. In 2011 the International Trade Administration initiated 246 compliance and market access cases (up 12% from 2010) and successfully resolved 91 (an 11% increase). The USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service reviewed 285 market access measures in 52 countries and preserved $3.9 billion worth of market access for U.S. companies, a 70% jump from the previous year.
Moving Ahead. One of the ways the government will work to further increase U.S. exports is by adding 50,000 SME exporters by 2017. Efforts in this area will include generating a national marketing campaign to educate SMEs on the benefits of exporting and the availability of federal export assistance resources, launching a "Global Business Solutions" program that will develop unified U.S. government domestic, export and investment financing solution packages that will better meet the needs of SMEs and lenders, developing a clear process for referring clients to the correct federal services, fully developing BusinessUSA.gov into a virtual one-stop shop for federal export assistance (including the rollout of Export.gov 2.0, which will deliver personalized information on events, market research and trade leads to SMEs), and launching biannual interagency strategic discussions on resource allocations in U.S. embassies and consulates to improve the way the federal government delivers export promotion services overseas and partners with the private sector in priority export markets.
The Obama administration has also structured its fiscal year 2013 budget request so as to be able to allocate resources to priority markets and sectors with the greatest export potential for U.S. companies. This request includes $30.3 million to expand the U.S. and Foreign Commercial Service's overseas export promotion activities and $12.3 million to implement the SelectUSA program's mission of promoting business investment in the U.S. by foreign and domestic sources. Also included is an increase of $19 million over FY 2012 for the Export-Import Bank, the U.S. Trade and Development Agency, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, the International Trade Commission and the Overseas Private Investment Corporation.
Other initiatives will include the following.
- increasing Export-Import Bank activity in nine priority countries with the greatest potential for increasing exports: Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Nigeria, South Africa, Turkey, India, Indonesia and Vietnam
- continuing Ex-Im Bank focus on the following industries with high potential for U.S. export growth: agribusiness, aircraft and avionics, construction, medical technologies, mining, oil and gas, and power generation, including renewable energy
- strengthening trade policy engagement with major established partners such as Canada and Mexico (including border management and regulatory harmonization), Japan (e.g., the U.S.-Japan Economic Harmonization Initiative) and the European Union (e.g., a potential bilateral free trade agreement)
- deepening engagement with major emerging markets such as China (including intellectual property rights, investment, indigenous innovation and agriculture), India (including market access) and Brazil (including investment, services, IPR and biotechnology)
- expanding trade policy engagement with key emerging markets such as Colombia (e.g., labor rights), Indonesia (e.g., investment climate), Saudi Arabia (e.g., IPR enforcement and government procurement), South Africa (e.g., tariff preferences and IPR), Turkey (e.g., restrictive import requirements) and Vietnam (e.g., IPR, labor and trade facilitation)
Rising Latin American Group Plans Big Step Toward Free Trade
The Pacific Alliance, a group created in 2011 in an effort to deepen regional trade and economic cooperation, has announced plans to eliminate tariffs on 90% of the goods traded among member countries by March 31. No timetable has yet been set for doing away with duties on the remaining 10%. Other goals for 2013 include agreements on rules of origin, sanitary and phytosanitary measures, technical barriers to trade, customs cooperation , investment, government procurement, and the exchange of financial, transportation, telecommunications and professional services.
The Pacific Alliance is currently composed of Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru, which Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos asserts are "the fastest growing economies in Latin America." Press reports have pointed out the contrast between this group, all of whose members have implemented free trade agreements with the United States and taken numerous other trade liberalization steps as well, and Mercosur, whose 20+ years of efforts to form a common market have been repeatedly stymied by cross-border squabbles and protectionist tendencies, particularly with respect to leading economies Brazil and Argentina. While Mercosur has added only one member (Venezuela) since its creation in 1991, the Pacific Alliance has already received a membership application from Spain and granted observer status to Japan, Guatemala, Uruguay, Panama and Costa Rica.
U.S., Jordan Deepen Cooperation on Investment, Information Technology, Labor
The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative announced Jan. 28 agreements between the U.S. and Jordan to deepen cooperation between the free trade agreement partners on investment, information technology products, and labor rights and working conditions.
Investment. The two sides agreed on a set of joint principles for international investment that represent "a statement of the United States' and Jordan's continuing commitment to adopt and maintain a policy environment that enables and encourages international investment," including an open and non-discriminatory investment regime, strong protections for foreign investment, transparency and public participation in the development of laws and regulations, and a level competitive playing field. It is unclear if these principles are the same as, or based on, those agreed between the U.S. and the European Union in April 2012.
Information and Communication Technology. USTR states that the adoption of joint principles for information and communication technology services "will support the global development of ICT services, including Internet and other network-based applications that are critical to innovative e-commerce." The principles address issues such as the free flow of information across borders, facilitating the cross-border supply of services, and foreign investment in ICT sectors.
Labor Rights. Officials concluded an implementation plan related to working and living conditions of workers that "reaffirms Jordan's commitment to protect internationally recognized labor rights and effectively enforce its labor laws." USTR notes that the two sides will follow up on the provisions of this plan in the coming months, including through cooperative efforts and ongoing dialogue as part of the Labor Subcommittee established under the U.S.-Jordan FTA.

PR Enforcement Actions on Reflector Lamps, Base Stations
New IPR Infringement Petition on Reflector Lamps. The International Trade Commission received Jan. 28 on behalf of Andrzej Bobel and Nuptun Light Inc. a petition requesting that it institute a Section 337 investigation regarding certain compact fluorescent reflector lamps and products and components containing same. The proposed respondents are located in the U.S.
Section 337 investigations primarily involve claims regarding intellectual property rights violations by imported goods, including the infringement of patents, trademarks and copyrights. Other forms of unfair competition involving imported products, such as misappropriation of trade secrets or trade dress and false advertising, may also be asserted. The primary remedy available in Section 337 investigations is an exclusion order that directs U.S. Customs and Border Protection to stop infringing imports from entering the U.S. In addition, the ITC may issue cease and desist orders against named importers and other persons engaged in unfair acts that violate Section 337, including selling infringing imported articles out of U.S. inventory.
Potential IPR Probe of Wireless Base Stations Evaluated for Public Interest Issues. The International Trade Commission is requesting comments no later than Feb. 7 on any public interest issues raised by a Section 337 intellectual property rights infringement complaint filed on behalf of Adaptix Inc. against certain wireless communications base stations and components thereof. Comments should address whether the issuance of exclusion orders and/or cease and desist orders pursuant to this complaint would affect the public health and welfare in the U.S., competitive conditions in the U.S. economy, the production of like or directly competitive articles in the U.S., or U.S. consumers. In particular, the ITC is interested in comments that:
- explain how the articles potentially subject to the orders are used in the U.S.;
- identify any public health, safety or welfare concerns in the U.S. relating to the potential orders;
- identify like or directly competitive articles that the complainant, its licensees or third parties make in the U.S. that could replace the subject articles if they were to be excluded;
- indicate whether the complainant, the complainant's licensees and/or third-party suppliers have the capacity to replace the volume of articles potentially subject to the requested orders within a commercially reasonable time; and
- explain how the requested orders would impact U.S. consumers.

State Dept. Proposes to Amend Export Controls on Nuclear Weapons Related Articles
The State Department is proposing to amend the International Traffic in Arms Regulations to revise Category XVI (nuclear weapons related articles) of the U.S. Munitions List. Comments on this proposal are due no later than March 18.
According to State, this proposed rule would remove most of the articles enumerated in Category XVI because exports of most equipment, technical data or services currently described in this category are under the control of the Department of Energy. The only articles now covered under Category XVI that would remain subject to USML control are tools that model or simulate the environments generated by nuclear detonations or the effects of these environments on systems, subsystems, components, structures or humans, as well as technical data and defense services directly related to such tools. Nuclear radiation detection and measurement devices currently controlled in paragraph (c) would become subject to the jurisdiction of the Department of Commerce under already existing Export Control Classification Numbers 1A004.c.2 or 2A291.e.
Among other things, State is requesting specific examples of nuclear-related items whose jurisdiction would be in doubt based on this revision. Comments are particularly sought on whether the proposed paragraph (b) is appropriately captured in USML Category XVI or if there is a more suitable control within the USML or CCL.
USDA Proposes to Allow Imports of Avocados, Apricots from Spain
The Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is accepting comments through April 1 on separate proposals to allow the importation of avocados and fresh apricots from continental Spain into the United States.
Avocados. As a condition of entry avocados from continental Spain (excluding the Balearic Islands and Canary Islands, which would not be allowed under this proposal) would have to be produced in accordance with a systems approach that would include requirements for importation in commercial consignments, registration and monitoring of places of production and packinghouses, grove sanitation, and inspection for quarantine pests by the national plant protection organization of Spain. Consignments of avocados other than the Hass variety would also have to be treated for the Mediterranean fruit fly either prior to moving to the U.S. or upon arrival prior to release. Consignments would also be required to be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate with an additional declaration stating that the avocados were grown and inspected and found to be free of pests in accordance with the proposed requirements.
Fresh Apricots. As a condition of entry fresh apricots would have to be produced in accordance with a systems approach that would include registration of production locations and packinghouses, pest monitoring, sanitary practices, chemical and biological controls, and phytosanitary treatment. The fruit would also have to be imported in commercial consignments, with each consignment identified throughout its movement from place of production to port of entry in the U.S. Consignments would have to be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate issued by the national plant protection organization of Spain certifying that the fruit is free from all quarantine pests and has been produced in accordance with the systems approach.

The JVC DLA-HD10K uses D-ILA (Digital Direct Drive Image Light Amplifier) technology to pump out 1080p with a contrast ratio of 2500:1 but unfortunately with just 600 lumens of brightness. This D-ILA is JVC's name for Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCOS or LCoS), a slightly different animal from garden-variety DLP, where it's still a reflective technology but instead of DLP's Rube-Goldbergian principle of thousands of tiny mirrors, it uses liquid crystals to reflect the light instead.
The remarkable component of this projector is its single 1.3-inch chip, capable of cranking out 2048x1536 pixels, well above what is necessary for 1080p, which is 1920x1080. Missing from its spec list is HDMI, were JVC saw fit to input this high-rez video via DVI—not a big sacrifice, but notable nonetheless. Set to ship July 1, it'll cost around $12,500. Expensive, yes, but just consider it a harbinger of even brighter D-ILA projectors, which will battle the impending onslaught of 1080p DLP models. Can't wait to see these 1080p projectors get into the sub-$5,000 range, so mere mortals might possess one.

Staff name generator
This staff name generator will give you 10 names that fit most magical weapons, like staves, scepters and wands.
The staff is obviously the weapon of mages, warlocks and other magic users, sometimes combined with a dagger or spellblade.
Staves are the most popular magical weapons in most fantasy worlds, but they're generally very similar in terms of how they look. Either a metal rod or a branch-like pole, with or without a (magical) gem.
The staff is pretty much the symbol of a heroic mage or an evil warlock.
The names have been divided into 4 types. The first three are normal names. The next 2 are generally generic descriptive names.
The next 2 names are also generic descriptive names, but they also have a material as part of their names.
The last 3 names are names with a title.
To start, simply click on the button to generate 10 random names. Don't like the names? Simply click again to get 10 new random names.

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
If you are searching the apartment in the South Bay, give rentberry.com a try. I've found my recent apartment through this service. It's free to search properties and there are no application fees.
Having travelled a bit here and in famous beer brewing countries - like Germany, Netherlands, Czech. - we have to say that Oakland has the BEST IPAs by far. I was just this week under impressed with the brews served in Miami - glad to be back here in Oaktown where the REAL IPA lives.
Yes, this quite aptly describes Vidrale Franklin. She is an innovator extraordinaire. Not that often do you find one individual with so much passion for the success of students and families. I am so proud to have seen this flower bloom and to have worked with her! She knows first hand t what an excellent education can mean. Proud to say I saw it first! What a tribute to you Vidrale.

While I support making cannabis policy more "inclusive" and reversing damage caused by the War on Drugs, I am skeptical of efforts to promote cannabis industry as an economic solution for Oakland. Oakland's lax cannabis policy (lack of any enforcement by OPD) has resulted in a cottage grow-house industry, as I have personally witnessed in my neighborhood.
So, what's the trouble?)))
Oakland has a lot of heart to it. Oakland is a very proud city for all races but for black folks, it's got so much pride and so much to celebrate. Oakland is proud and for good reason too. It's the home of the black panther party, home of the Black Muslim bakery, home of many famous black musicians and music groups such as Toni Tone Tone, Too Short, Luniz, Dru Down, Mc Hammer, The Pointers Sisters, Sly and the Family Stone, and many more. It's also home to a large number of many successful black owned businesses and I know this for a fact cause I'm from the Bay Area and I know Oakland very well. Oakland also has positive things going on in its black community, big time. Kingston 11 is carrying on a rich tradition.

If it's here, which athlete got the most votes?
Thanks much .. :)
There's no list here. What gives east bay express. Very misleading
You have to be a Berkeley resident to use the BPL Tool Library. If you live in Oakland, you can rely on the larger (5000 items) tool lending library at the Temescal Branch!
Thank you for including Richmond. I was getting increasingly annoyed in reading your other 2016 winners lists and not seeing the city we live in represented. The East Bay is much more than Oakland and Berkeley!
You need a hacker to go to for all of your cyber issues, then pauleta.steelbreaker on gmail is the one you should consult or text +1 928-323-3115
To Michael Dreyfus-Pai Anyone know about milk and juice cartons? They have layers of paper and plastic, but are often not recyclable.
City of Alameda service tells us to COMPOST (and we can collect our compostables in the cartons) IF THE PLASTIC CAP AND OPENING ARE FIRST REMOVED. Otherwise, recycle.
City of Alameda service takes those waxy coated cardboard milk/juice cartons in COMPOST IF YOU REMOVE THE PLASTIC OPENINGS (CAP AND OPENING). Otherwise they tell us to put in recycling.
Keter is absolutely my vote for #1 Hair Salon!!

Thank you telling the African American experience through your beautiful gallery!
I hope someone can show the new guy around a bit.
Brotzeit? Beer Garden on Telegraph? Speiskammer?
"Egregious example" -god, smoke a joint and chill. Two words: Wu-Tang Clan. People of all groups reference other cultures insensitively at times. EBX always using a white example of it -that's egregious.
Burgers and Boogaloo sounds like fun.
And at around fifty bucks to attend both days of the festival, the Burger Boogaloo is a great bargain too. And it really is a great community event where everybody has fun, no matter who is playing. Seriously.
East Bay regional Park District parks are generally Dog friendly & offer wonderful opportunities for great hikes.

15 lunar day
Symbol: Fiery serpent
Ascesis, self-discipline.
It is a full-moon day. Energetic day. There is a danger to give way to temptation, to become suggestible and lazy. It is advisable to suppress emotions, to control your passions and strengthen self-discipline. Behave quite and peacefully.
Influence on health:
Pancreas, diaphragm are active. It is good to fast or keep diet.
Nutrition tips:
Take only fresh and quality food. Spicy, hot and lenten food, fresh vegetables and fruits, porridges and herbal tea are very good. Avoid strong tea, coffee, alcohol. For memory improvement use viburnum. Japanese kitchen is recommended. Take beans, barley and kidney bean. Do not take apples, cabbage, garlic, eggs and long vegetables. Paprika, cranberry, red ashberry, nettle and home-made jams are allowed.
The first half of day is rather complicated. During the second half you can execute your plan but irregular way.
Despite of its complexity, this day is the basis for the rest part of lunar month and you can see the results of your efforts of the first part. Successful events, new efficient acquaintances are possible.
This is a very complicated lunar day. Only adult and experienced partners have a chance to constitute a family.
Stones and minerals:
Agate, morion, jet.
Meditation: Silence, emptiness, conciliation.
The Moon has its maximum power. The best meditation for this day is silence. Therefore early in the morning or in the evening seat in a comfortable pose and start to hear the silence of your mind. Try to feel that your thoughts stop and don't disturb you anymore. Your thoughts are like clouds flying by the sky and your mind is like clear sky. Try to keep this balanced feeling as long as possible , don't strain your body. Rejuvenation procedures are favorable this day. Ideal places for it are natural water where you can swim along the moon-glade.
During the 15th lunar day Anahata chakra and breast are active
The dreams:
Dreams of this lunar day can be different, it depends on your inner state. If you had the bright good dream it may come true, but not worth to tell anyone about it. If you had dream about something heavy it means your internal state is in imbalance, take care of yourself. By the nature of your dreams you can determine what energy in your subconscious dominates now - light or dark. In this day are often prophetic dreams that give information on the next month.

Unanswered: can't connect to table/database of another dbspace - err : the name of a table in the
Hi ,
Recently we migrated the informix server (version 7.30)to new box
When we are compiling the 4gl , we came across the following error.
The error says that the table does not exist in the database.
But the database customer and table customer1 exist .
----------------- ---------------------
database buyer
define custgold record like customer:customer1*
| The symbol "customer1" is not the name of a table in the
| specified database.
| See error number -4320.
----- end of error message ------------
Here buyer and customer databases are on different dbspaces.
We can connect to databases of other dbspaces.
Why we can't connect to databases of one particular dbspace only ?
Any suggestions ?

Bomber Boys Revealed (1 x 60′) – A documentary telling the story of the Royal Air Force's Bomber Command crews. The programme reveals for the first time how German hatred of the men they dubbed "Terror Fliers' led to some downed pilots being sent not to POW camps, but to a concentration camp, and in the film, several of these veterans – British RAF crew members who survived Buchenwald – speak for the first time. The programme also features rare colour archive footage of the raids. With a new memorial to the Britain's bomber boys set to be unveiled in Green Park, this film pays tribute to these the forgotten heroes of World War Two.

VPorn.com Latina
VPorn.com is one of Mr. Porn Geek's favorite tube sites, so it just makes sense that their Latina category would be my choice of destination to anyone and everyone that wanted to enjoy high-quality videos on the web. Currently, there are tens of thousands of videos in the archive from many different Latina countries, starring both amateurs and professionals alike fucking in front of the camera. What's really good at VPorn.com and its Latina category is the fact that you can filter the content based on whether or not it's in high definition - certainly a massive selling point for me.
Most, if not all, of the HD porn clips are from professional studios. We're talking Erotic Female Domination, Racy Angel, Property Slut and more. The girls are real fucking sexy and have all of those hot Latina features we've grown to love. Skinny waists, nice big asses and dark, tanned skin that looks great when it's covered in hot, sticky cum. There's no doubt in my mind that when it comes to enjoying good Latina porn videos, VPorn.com is the tube that you should consider above all others.
Review Pros
- Lots of videos
- Good site design
- HD filter
Review Cons
- Few amateur clips
- Some adverts

Advice, management and solutions for your dairy farms.
Latest Spore Counts
Facial Eczema – production losses
in the absence of clinical disease
Our trained client services staff and experienced vets are here to help, so pop into your local clinic and check out our facial eczema updates below or give us a call and we will be happy to advise you on the best course of action to protect your stock against this debilitating disease.
Spore counts can vary dramatically between farms and even between paddocks. If you have any concerns just bring in an ice cream container full of grass (no soil/roots) and we will do a spore count and get the results to you, normally on the same day.
Face-Guard capsules for the ultimate protection
Spore counts by region: (Contains historical data)
Note – The recent prolonged cold snap has resulted in decreased soil temps and reduced facial eczema spore counts. As a result of these significant drops, FE reporting is now on hold until December.

In America, the Jetta has been Volkswagen's best-selling car for many years. With a starting MSRP of $17,895, the 2017 Jetta lineup is comprised of four models: S, SE, SEL and GLI.
Jetta lineup
The Jetta lineup is simplified in 2017. The base S trim includes a 1.4-liter, 150-horsepower engine, 16-inch steel wheels as standard, two-tone cloth seats and more. It offers optional 16-inch aluminum-alloy wheels.
I was sitting today in my favorite rocking chair on the big sun-washed deck literally doing nothing but looking out on the beautiful bay and thinking about how very pretty the water was shimmering and the fluffy white clouds that were bouncing in the sky. Every once in a while, my revelry would be disturbed or interrupted by a boat speeding by, heading under the bridge or to the marina for more gas or bait, a brightly colored jet ski stirring up the water in playful pursuit of another, or a few shore birds stopping to nibble on our oyster reefs.
I've walked through many a furniture store trying to find just that 'right' area rug to inspire the rest of the room. Certain colors just make me happy and others bring me a sense of calm while others just don't do a thing at all. Your outdoor room can inspire you in just the same way. Why would you want a yard that makes you snooze? Choosing the colors that you find appealing when you are outdoors at your home are just as important as what you see inside.
In 1961, a young and ambitious Texas Representative named Tom James became the face of an investigation into crime, vice and government corruption in Jefferson County. What he found would shock and shame the community.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.
