Tehran - Iran on Thursday hanged 11 convicted drug traffickers in a prison of the southern city of Shiraz, the website of state broadcaster IRIB reported.
The 11, whose identities were not given, were sent to the gallows for possessing and trafficking in heroin, opium and morphine, the report said. It did not provide further details.
The hangings bring to 257 the number of executions in Iran so far this year, according to an AFP tally based on media and official reports.
Human Rights Watch counted 388 executions in Iran in 2010. Amnesty International put the figure at 252, ranking the Islamic republic second only to China in the number of people put to death last year.
Iran says the death penalty is essential to maintain law and order, and that it is applied only after exhaustive judicial proceedings.
Murder, rape, armed robbery, drug trafficking and adultery are among the crimes punishable by death in Iran.
Forgot to include apostasy in the crimes punishable by death.
I wonder how many Christians were slipped in amongst the drug peddlers.
Im not a big fan of Irans government but one things forshore the ANC can learn from Iran to uphold the law. Bring back the death penalty for those looser criminals in South-Africa.
@Boer: I've always said we should have the Death Penalty in SA but now that you mention it, I don't know if I'd like the Death Penalty being in the ANC's hands.
Death penalty needs to come to sa

Historically, pewter tankards and utensils were considered the poor man's silver. Solid sterling silver was a sign of wealth and prosperity and only the well-to-do could afford it. Electroplating pewter provided the look of silver without the cost.The multi-step process required that the piece first be plated with alkaline copper before proceeding to plate it with silver. This process transformed a dull matt pewter piece into an article that looked like sterling and could be polished to a bright shine. You can try electroplating pewter yourself using a few simple materials.
Pewter to copper plate
Clean the surface of your pewter using soap and water. Rinse thoroughly.
Polish the surface of your pewter with pumice powder and extra fine steel wool to roughen the surface.
Prepare a solution of potash and water in the one-quart can using 113 g (4 oz) of potash dissolved in 711 ml (3 cups) of water.
Mix thoroughly.
Dip your pewter in the potash solution using a stainless steel hook.
Place the steel suspension rod across the perimeter of the 1 litre (1 quart) can. Suspend your dipped pewter piece from the rod so the piece hangs into the can while drying.
Measure and mix 113 g (4 oz) of copper sulphate in 340 g (12 oz) of water in one of the gallon cans. Add a strong solution of water and ammonia until green crystals appear.
Add liquid ammonia at full strength until no more green crystals appear and the existing ones dissolve into a bright blue solution.
Add a strong solution of potassium cyanide until the blue colour disappears. Add 1/4 as much potassium cyanide as you used above.
Add water until you have 2 litre (2 quarts) of liquid in the paint can.
Move the suspending rod with the pewter hanging from it until the rod rests across the diameter of the paint can and the pewter is covered by the liquid in the can.
Connect one positive and one negative lead to the corresponding terminals of your 4 volt battery. Connect the other positive lead to the edge of the paint can and the negative lead to the hook holding the pewter piece. A charge of 3.5 to 4 volts will remove the copper from the solution and attract it to coat the surface of the pewter.
Copper plate to silver plate
Dissolve 21 g (3/4 oz) of silver nitrate with 227 g (8 oz) of water in the remaining 4.5 litres (1 gallon) can. Add potassium cyanide to the solution. White crystals will appear.
Add more potassium cyanide until all of the crystals are dissolved and no more appear. Add 1 litre (1 quart) of water to the liquid in the paint can.
Move your copper plated pewter so that it is covered by the solution in the second paint can and hangs suspended as in Part 1, Step 10 above.
Connect the battery to the copper plated piece as you did in Part 1, Step 11 above. Two to four volts of electricity running through the second solution will cover the copper plate with silver plate. Remove the plated piece and allow it to dry.
Polish the plated silver with quick, light strokes using extra fine steel wool. Add silver plate polish according to package directions. Buff the plated silver with your polishing cloth to produce a bright shine.
All chemicals and equipment are available at your local hardware shop.
Wear a protective mask, glasses and gloves when handling chemicals. Mix chemicals in a protected, well-ventilated area. Keep all chemicals out of the reach of children.

We've already tried Jasmine's takeout dim sum, so based on comments on the board we decided to try out Emerald for dim sum on Sunday. We arrived around 10:30 and were put in the back corner where the carts go in/come out. Unfortunately for us that meant a lot of noise and being the last on the cart route.
As far as dim sum goes in San Diego, I guess it was okay. The food was lukewarm and my favorite for the day was the baked pork bun which isn't saying much. Hubby and I felt there wasn't much of a unique selection - where were the chicken feet, spareribs, squid? Perhaps we weren't presented with all their offerings. We had to hunt down the tofu-fa cart after she passed us a few times without stopping, and we noticed upon leaving that there were several carts with items we hadn't been given the opportunity to try.
Pros were the decent dim sum, lovely hot tea and the servers who were very descriptive about the cart offerings.
Cons were the lack of selection and lukewarm food.
Next time we'll try Jasmine's sit down service.

The Obama administration is reaching out to Iran. In return, Iran is – well, it's complicated. The Islamic republic sentenced an American journalist to eight years in prison and launched a fervent new campaign to brand U.S. ally Israel as racist. And in the middle of all that, it said it was ready for a new beginning in relations with the U.S. after three decades of diplomatic stalemate.
The mixed messages and flip-flopping are evidence of a tug-of-war within Iran's ruling class between those who want to move closer to Washington and those resisting the change, all tremendously complicated by June 12 presidential elections. Both domestic and international considerations play strong roles.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who is running for another term, is a deeply polarizing figure who has called for Israel to be wiped off the map, denied the Holocaust and insists Iran will never give up uranium enrichment.
On Monday at a U.N. anti-racism conference, he called Israel "most cruel and repressive racist regime," prompting diplomats from every European Union country to walk out, drawing condemnation from Israel – and earning him a hero's welcome at Tehran's airport Tuesday, with hundreds of well-wishers offering bouquets of flowers.
On April 11 he announced the opening of a new plant for developing uranium fuel and said Iran has increased the number and quality of centrifuges at its uranium enrichment facility, though U.S. officials expressed doubt about the latter claim.
And yet only days earlier, Ahmadinejad responded to a U.S. offer for better relations by saying, "The Iranian nation welcomes a hand extended to it should it really and truly be based on honesty, justice and respect" – an unusually conciliatory tone for the Iranian leader.
Nowhere are the divisions laid more bare than in the case of 31-year-old Roxana Saberi, accused of spying for America in charges that Washington calls baseless.
Saberi was convicted last week by the Revolutionary Court after a closed-door trial that her father said lasted about 15 minutes. The development was seen as posturing by Iran's ruling clerics, who don't want to appear to be conceding to U.S. pressure as the two countries edge toward the negotiating table.
But since then, Iran appears to be steadily backing off. Ahmadinejad made a highly unusual request this week to Tehran's chief prosecutor to allow Saberi and a jailed Canadian-Iranian blogger the chance to fully defend themselves. The judiciary chief ordered a full investigation of the American's case during the appeal. And on Tuesday, the judiciary spokesman said Saberi's sentence might be reconsidered on appeal – a hint that her sentence could be commuted.
Ahmadinejad could have his eye on the election as he softens his stance on Saberi. Though he has the backing of powerful hard-liners, his popularity is waning among voters who say he spends too much time slamming the U.S. and Israel and not enough trying to fix the economy, which suffers from high inflation and unemployment.
His top opponent is former Prime Minister Mir Hossein Mousavi, a reformist who supports better ties with the United States and appeals to many younger voters, 40 percent of the electorate.
"Ahmadinejad is in an awkward position because his hard-line political backers are averse to warming relations with the U.S., yet he has to appeal to a young electorate which overwhelmingly favors restoring relations with Washington," said Karim Sadjadpour of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in the U.S. capital.
Ahmadinejad is also trying to gain favor with Washington, which broke off ties after Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution. The U.S., along with major European countries and China, have invited Iran to a new round of nuclear talks, which could provide a forum for Washington and Tehran to begin broader discussions.
"His intervention is a political decision aimed at paving the way to resume ties with the U.S. and get concessions from Washington," legal affairs expert Saleh Nikbakht said in Iran.
Iran's nuclear program has been the most contentious issue between the two nations. Washington believes it is secretly aimed at building nuclear weapons; oil-rich Iran says it's for generating electricity. Iran has repeatedly refused to stop enriching uranium despite three rounds of sanctions from the U.N. Security Council.
As for Saberi, some analysts say Iran is holding her as a card in a complex political game, expecting concessions from Washington in return for her release. U.S. officials have indicated Iran would gain U.S. goodwill if the Iranians "responded in a positive way" to their demands to free the journalist.
Johnson reported from Cairo.

Yann is a podcaster, podcasting strategist, and consultant who's taking the podcasting world by storm. We chatted with Yann to get the scoop on his podcasts, membership site, and how he's using Coach to enhance his business.
A: I help entrepreneurs, creatives, speakers, and coaches strategically leverage the power of podcasting. So, whether it's as a host or guest, I help them understand whether podcasting is a good fit for their business, how to make it a part of their business, and how to crush different goals through podcasting. A goal can be building authority, it could be growing an email list, or just attracting potential customers. I'm also the host of five different podcast shows, so I really live & breathe podcasting every day.
"I'm also the host of five different podcast shows, so I really live & breathe podcasting every day."
A: I'm originally from the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland, and years ago I started working there at an international jazz festival. I got to do radio interviews, video interviews, and interviews for newspapers, so I was really on the ground. And I had the opportunity to connect with artists, as well as people from radio stations, journalists, and so forth. And it's something that I really, really enjoyed. So, when I moved to Finland five years ago, I was thinking, "it would be nice to do my own thing," but I wasn't sure what my own thing was gonna be. I tried a bunch of different things, but long story short, I came across this thing called podcasting. I had no idea what it was. I started listening to a couple of podcasts and I fell in love with the medium.
A: When I started with my second podcast, "360 Entrepreneur," I was already taking the steps toward making it into a business. Like many people, I didn't have exact clarity when I first started, but then as I began to host my podcast, I was getting questions from other podcasters, from people I knew, and I started to identify trends. Those questions were popping up over and over again. And 95% of the time, if not more, those were podcasting-related questions. So I said to myself, "maybe it would be a good idea, since it's something I enjoy and it's something people are asking a lot about, to laser-focus on podcasting?"
A: With the Podcast Success Academy, we focus on both the technical and the strategic/business side of podcasting. There is a section called "The Podcasting Roadmap", where it's literally a step-by-step journey of how to plan your podcast. So basically, you go from no idea or just an idea, into every single phase. We cover choosing your gear, coming up with the title for your show, where to find guests, how to pitch a guest, making your first buck with your podcast, and everything in between.
A: Many podcasters focus on the content only, and sometimes, we do interviews and as soon as the interview is over, the host says, "okay, thank you so much" and he or she hangs up. But for me, I really like to make magic happen, even after we are finished recording. I'm very focused on helping others, being transparent, and working hard to really try to provide people with value. This also gives me peace of mind, knowing that whenever I have something to promote, whether it's my own course, my membership site, or somebody else's thing, I don't have to sit down and wonder, "hmm, should I share this with my community, or are they going to be thrown off by it?" My people know that when I share things with them, first and foremost, it's because I think it could be helpful for them.
"I'm very focused on helping others, being transparent, and working hard to really try to provide people with value."
A: As an entrepreneur, there are certain things that may not be strictly related to podcasting, but are still very important. So I came up with this idea of creating a course called "How to Create Your First Funnel," which is something that a lot of people, whether they are podcasters or not, are very interested in. In the first phase of my course, I wanted to have the validation. So, I did a mini pre-launch to my email list, to see if there was any interest, and surprisingly there was. Some people were like, "yeah, absolutely, happy to jump on board." So, that gave me the validation I needed to go ahead and create the course.
A: You know, a mistake that many people make when it comes to products is that they put a lot of time into creating the course or membership site. And they think, "now that the work is done, it's time to focus on marketing." But actually, in my experience, the marketing should come first.
Your goal should not only be getting people through the door, but really to focus on those first people who sign up. And really, if possible, have calls with them, see what they think about the content itself. Is it good, is it not good, is there something missing, is it well organized? Is there something that could have been done differently? When people see that you actually care, and not only care, but that you listen to them and change things, he or she is going to feel part of the creative process. They're going to feel more involved.
"When people see that you actually care, and not only care, but that you listen to them and change things, he or she is going to feel part of the creative process."
A: I know my way around coding a little bit, so I don't have any problem, like, building websites and things like that. And technically speaking, I could have taken care of every aspect of the course by myself, hosting on a website and things like that. But there are so many moving parts that go into a course, so I started wondering if I could find 'somebody' who takes care of certain aspects for me. So, that's when I started to look for platforms that I could use to maybe host my course, and, you know, there are a bunch of them.
At the time, I was using Teachable, and, you know, some people have talked about it, but I wasn't really happy. But then I had a conversation with a friend of mine who uses Coach as well. And he said, "by the way, I'm thinking about an online course and just found Coach, and they released a new feature that makes it possible to host a course." The timing couldn't have been any better because my frustration with Teachable reached a boiling point. And when I heard about Coach, I was like, "that's definitely something that sounds interesting."
A: You guys really earned a lot of brownie points on my end because I had a Skype chat with David, and I was really blown away by your values and your way of doing business, as it's really aligned with what I do. But then I was also blown away by the fact that David, and obviously you, and the rest of the team of Coach are really interested in what I, as a Coach user, would be interested in.
So, I didn't have any problem moving from a platform like Teachable, and take it all the way to Coach because I can't say anything bad about Coach. I really feel that you guys care about not only me, but about the people who use Coach. And in the long term, that's what really makes the difference.
"I really feel that you guys care about not only me, but about the people who use Coach. And in the long term, that's what really makes the difference."
A: First of all, Coach helps me share my message, but they also help with the overall presentation of that message. A good design and customer experience has a positive reflection on me, as well. Coach has also helped strengthen my authority and trust factor. But then, of course, when it comes to the actual content of the course itself, that has really helped me, too. And I've done even some coaching calls because of my course, "How to Create Your First Funnel." If it wasn't for Coach providing me with the tools I need to host my videos and all the other materials that go with the course, some of those people may not have become coaching clients.
A: I'd like to share what I call "my three T's." It's not very sexy or anything, but it's basically something I do whenever I want to learn or try something new. The first T stands for "test." So, whenever I hear a tip on a podcast, in a book, or watch a virtual summit, the first I do is test it. The second T is for "track." It can be with Google Analytics, depending on what is it I'm testing, but it's important to keep track of what's happening. And then the final T stands for "tweak" (or move on). So, once I've tested and kept track of things, I can look at the data and see, has the strategy worked for me? If yes, with how much impact? If it has worked, but still needs to be improved, then I can tweak. If it hasn't worked at all, or not as well as I thought it was going to, then I can think about just moving on.

New York's seven-year-old database of handgun "fingerprints" has yet to lead to criminal prosecution, and questions linger about its effectiveness. Still, state police remain committed, saying more time and a long-awaited link to a federal ballistic database could bring success, says the Associated Press (AP).
Since March 2001, information about more than 200,000 new pistols and revolvers sold in New York has been entered into the Combined Ballistic Identification System database. Proponents say the markings are as unique as fingerprints and can be compared against shell casings found at crime scenes. The results as of August: 209,239 casings entered, 7,124 inquiries and two hits.
Gun advocates claim that the lack of results is evidence of the system's failure. They contend that the state would be better served by spending the $1 million a year it takes to run this program on more police. However, state police disagree, says AP:
- The typical time between the legal purchase of a gun and the time it's used in crimes is seven to 10 years; that would mean that the first guns logged in 2001 are just now becoming more likely to be used in crimes, and that matches could start coming in the next several years.
- The federal government keeps its own ballistics database called the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network; the national database is different since it information on guns used in crimes, but it is technically possible to compare entries in the two databases.
- Currently, New York officials are working on a one-way system that would keep New York's data out of the national database but allow New York to make inquiries into the federal database's information.
The matches in the New York database are a "first step" in investigations, and further technology, like "microstamping" -- guns are specifically build to leave unique marks on ammunition -- could increase the likelihood of catching a criminal, says AP.

The committee would like to see all 1914-1918 objects whether military or civilian, even if they are seemingly mundane.
They would also collecting oral histories of life on Purbeck so if you have a story to tell or an object, take them to Lady St. Mary Parish Hall, Wareham on Saturday 13th September from 10am until 2pm
With permission from the owners the committee are hoping to create an exhibit about Wareham during the Great War during the Wareham Choral Society's memorial concert on November 15th.

This is the stage 3 report for the Northern Trans-Pennine strategic study. It outlines the high level case for making improvements to the A66 and A69 to improve trans-Pennine connectivity. Further work needs to be carried out to understand the full benefits and impacts of the potential options.
Based on work so far, consultants have identified a number of transport interventions that would meet the study objectives. These include:
- completion of the dualling of the A66
- completion of the dualling of the a69
- junction improvements
- options to bypass Warwick Bridge
Background to the Northern Trans-Pennine strategic study
The Northern Trans-Pennine strategic study is one of 6 strategic studies that will inform the development of the second phase of the Road investment strategy (RIS 2).
The study was announced as part of the first phase of the Road investment strategy (RIS 1) published in December 2014. The RIS 1 and RIS 2 set out a long-term approach to improve England's motorways and major roads (the 'strategic road network').

@Ryan_Timmons did some quick hacking to improve the overall look and feel along with the colors:
Hello, can we expect better support for tabs (as in macOS Sierra)? Such as open an existing file in a new tab instead of a new window, merge to windows into one as tabs?
EDIT: turns out you can already merge windows. Function provided system-wise. Would still be nice to be able open a existing file direct to a new tab.
Nice! How do I get this? Running 2.3 Dev (776) it seems ...
On macOS Sierra 10.12.3 Beta (16D17a), this 2.3 dev release quits within 10 seconds.
Here is the log from Console.app
Hi @th507,
I'm using 10.12.2 at the moment and not experiencing this issue. Not sure if I can debug at the moment until I can reproduce it.
In any case, we're going to be posting a new build for FoldingText 2.3 in a couple of hours. Do download that and see if it fares better.
@flips we're going to be uploading a new build in a few hours.
Thanks for the update! This build still reports a copyright date of 2014, in case that's of any importance.
Hi, bit of a lame bug description here (if it is one even!), but got some weird layout issues when printing to pdf/paper. Stopped investigating and got back to working in the 2.2 release.
2.3 (781) + macOS 10.12.4 Beta (16E144f). JMK_Panel.ftplugin crashes FT consistently, which compromises a few others that I depend on. No crash report generated.
default 19:48:10.332960 +0000 FoldingText Failed to load Javascript on start
It also appears that (for me at least) running FT with any plugins enabled that depend on JMK_Panel causes a serious error where files are emptied or overwritten on save. And that's with JMK_Panel removed from the plugins folder.
The primary plugin I'm lamenting the loss of is Jamie Kowalski's filter (https://github.com/jamiekowalski/foldingtext-extra/tree/master/filter.ftplugin)— it was (is?) a really useful plugin for running queries and filtering node paths. Is anyone else still using this plugin? Does it work for you on your setup? If you don't use this plugin, what's the easiest way for you to run "complex" filters (without having to write AppleScript or link a node path in the document)?
Hi there,
As someone who hasn't yet downloaded the development version, I'll wait anxiously for the reply on the above, as I also use the filter plugin everyday!
I'm obviously aware that these plugins regularly updated, but are they really about to become defunct?
I still use this plugin and am not updating to this version if it won't work. Basically, without this plugin, FoldingText loses most of its value to me over other plain text editors. Would love to see it taken on by the developer and baked in.
I'm keen to hear from anyone else with a similar set-up as I've reported. I'd experienced an issue with FT prior to updating, which may have been thanks to my most recent OS update; I ran to the update hoping it would be a fix.
Jamie's plugin hasn't been updated for three years now. And yes, as per @derekvan's suggestion, I'd love to see this functionality baked in. An easy way to run filters should perhaps be somewhere near the top of the "things to do next" list?
@JSLR @derekvan @mjknght
I installed the plugins on my install, and haven't seen any behavior out of the ordinary. Granted I just gave it a quick try, so might see something the future.
The problem with such bugs, though, is that it is hard to reproduce. And bugs which are hard to reproduce take a log longer to resolve (if at all).
Perhaps one of you could isolate the issue to just one plugin, and perhaps create a thread for this?
Re: the incorporation of a filter. I don't think it's hard, however, FT's XPath based selection language can have a bit of a learning curve. I do have it on my list of things to do, but I haven't decided on the best way to implement something like that that's both easy to use, and also allows for advanced users to feel empowered.
Thanks for the bug report. This is indeed something weird. Not sure what though, but I'll have a look.
From what I've experienced, JMK_Panel.ftplugin crashed FT consistently. Removing that filter allowed me to get FT started, but if any plugins that depended on JMK_Panel.ftplugin were installed, I'd consistently experience issues saving files. I've since removed all of those plugins and FT seems to be fine.
Hey @mutahhir— let me know if there's anything else I can offer to help figure this issue out...
Please check out here: http://support.hogbaysoftware.com/t/foldingtext-no-longer-works-with-macos-10-12-4/3043/13?u=mutahhir
for a possible solution for the JMK panel plugin issue. Let me know if the explanation (albeit sparse) is enough to fix the plugin yourselves? Perhaps send a Pull Request to the repo to fix it for everyone?
/cc @mjknght @derekvan
Hi Mutahhir,
Thanks for turning your attentions to this – I'm grateful, and it's also reassuring! I've held back from updates until now, but it's good to know a solution has been found.
When will this be out?

Despite showing consistency in an otherwise inconsistent start for the Celtics, Brandon Bass starts Saturday night's game in Washington on the bench.
CSNNE Celtics analyst Donny Marshall disagrees with the move.
"Brandon Bass played the most consisistent against the Bucks in a 99-88 loss on Friday night," Marshall said. "To me, this is sending mixed messages to Brandon Bass because he's going to go in the game, he's going to do whatever you want him to do."
Marshall said Bass "might not have the highest basketball IQ in the NBA, but he makes up for it with his persistence and ability to get to the basket."
And Sullinger?
"He's looked like a rookie to me out there," Marshall said.

I am lost in my own head and a mood of total apathy. I have had to force myself to eat today, but once I have eaten anything I just want to throw up. Not because I am sick just food makes me feel gross and vaguely nauseous. I don't know why but I have lost a lot of my edge lately. All I can think of is crawling into the bed and never getting up. I have lost my desire to cook, clean, sew, work, read, study for college, wright, play games, tend to the cats, basically life… I have no idea why, nothing is wrong. My work is still helping me progress and I am looking at more and more promotions, but I don't look forward to work like I did. I don't want to do anything around the house like I was. I had gotten into the habit of cooking at least one good meal everyday and had an extensive cleaning schedule figures out for the house, but now I don't want to do any of it even though I usually enjoy that. My sewing box is closed and locked away because I haven't felt like opening it, and all of my books lay on the shelf unopened and unstudied despite the fact that I love learning new things and desperately want to improve my skills so I can get into college. The last games I have played are even put away with no real prospect of being played again soon. I enjoy all of these things and used to get excited to see any of them, but lately I don't even want to get out of bed and bathe. I know it's probably just that I am sick or something, but I don't know. My boyfriend keeps reminding me that I need to cook the food that we have so it doesn't go bad, but I don't want to cook anymore mostly because I don't want to eat. I am hoping that I am just tired or fighting off some soft of flu and that it will pass and I will be back to my old self, but a piece of me is always scared when I go through these down times and I feel like this that it will last forever and I won't get back to doing them. I know that's silly though, I am probably just tired and should head to bed so I can get up for work tomorrow. I will probably make myself clean the house some before work so I'm not just sitting around being a waste of space. Maybe I will feel better in the morning…

A Buyer's Guide I'm sure all of you will be happy to see. Jackson Robinson is considered by many to be one of the key players in the Playing Card Renaissance we are in right now (as of writing this ;P). He rocketed to success with his first playing card Kickstarter project 'Federal 52' and it's followup 'Federal 52 pt.2, and has seen wild success with every new project. Continuing to push the boundaries of what he can do with the medium (Sometimes to much controversy/dismay within the community) Jackson never fails to bring creativity and quality to his projects.

Cairo, Egypt (PressExposure) April 24, 2009 -- Aqua Coraya, the only water park in the Marsa Alam area, offers various fun and exciting activities for all ages, with water slides reaching up to a staggering 10m high. Aqua Coraya offers a number of slides surrounded by flumes with various features to cater to weak and strong swimmers alike.
The Aqua Coraya is planned to be the premiere attraction for the entire family with plenty of options for an action packed day. The park caters to the young ones with its children's slide pool, and the shorter slides landing in shallow waters. You can be sure that your kids are going to be safe and sound at the park which is fully staffed with certified lifeguards to ensure safe fun for everyone.
Slides include the Free Fall, Kamikaze & Turbo Slides, which are sure to provide an electrifying experience with heights exceeding10.5 meters. For those who dare, there is the Black Hole, which is a fast and exciting ride that sweeps you away in a flood of water as you blast through the 40-meter-long slide; the Rafting Slide, you soar through heart-pounding drops and pulse-racing dips; the Wide Slide, which could be enjoyed by the whole family at once; and the Twister Slide, a high speed ride where one can plunge down the spiraling and twisting flumes. The AquaCoraya pool bar offers guests snacks, and refreshing drinks.
Madinat Coraya is located at almost 65 km from Marsa Alam City, 5 km from Marsa Alam International Airport and Port Ghaleb, and about 250 km south of the city of Hurghada. Marsa Alam is rapidly increasing in popularity, and is especially renowned among diving and fishing enthusiasts, and is set to become a diving hot spot. In Madinat Coraya there are different hotels to choose from, and first class service is offered in comfortable and relaxed settings - leaving plenty of options for the guests to choose from. Having all facilities at hand, one would not leave the resort before the end of the holiday. The breathtaking colors of the sea, the majestic mountain views, and the mysterious untouched reefs and marine life are just some of the aspects of your unforgettable holiday at Madinat Coraya.

So frustrating. I was seriously contemplating hitting DH daily until he agreed on an a name. His parents came over and it turned into a huge blow out argument in front of everyone so after they left I calmly approached him and said we just have to hash this out. He finally said "I don't hate ALL your names you know" and he told me the one he liked best and we just agreed on that. We definitely needed to clear the air and actually talk about it. The fight before helped us get all our frustrations out (although in front of the inlaws wasn't optimal) Hope he's semi-cooperative and you figure something out soon!

Dear Folks:
An odd time to be writing a letter—Saturday morning—but I'm dodging inspection because I'm on guard, so I chose a sunny spot by the side of the barracks and decided to bask and write at the same time.
Last nite at the post gym just across the street Lana Turner made an appearance at a fortieth division variety show. Boy what she couldn't do to my knees. Our division presented her with an insignia on a little banner and while the flash cameras were clicking she shook hands with our general. Then she gave a sentimental little thank-you talk that really sounded genuine and sincere. She had on a purple dress that made her look like a blonde Cleopatra and this was aided and abetted by a cute red hat, set dangerously on her pretty hair. You could have heard a pin drop when she started to talk. During the program she sat in the front row flanked by sober faced, austere generals. During the program at intervals a fellow would come in the back of the hall holding a couple of despairing rabbits and paging Pvt. Peter Potter. The first trip he had two, the next time a half dozen, the next a whole hutch and finally he was dressed as a cook selling them as roast rabbit. One trip he had some fun with Lana Turner but he got a slew of his pictures taken. After the program I got a good view of her passing down the aisle and when she was right in front of me, not more than a yard away, the cameras flashed.
Tomorrow a cook and I are going out for a few rounds of golf if it doesn't rain and perhaps swimming too if it is warm enough.
Mount Rainier sure looks big and beautiful today as I'm sitting here I'm looking right at it.
Got the letter and the dollar bill yesterday. A dollar goes a long way for recreation if you spend it in camp. Under the new pay schedule and when the cadre leaves I will be getting sixty-four a month. This is for a corporal. I want to save thirty of it. If we don't get our raise this month I'll have pretty slim pickings next month because $12.50 besides cleaning, pressing and laundry will be taken out for bonds. As the money accumulates the government converts them into $25.00 bonds. They will be mailed to Dad and made to Mother as a co-owner.
Down the drive a few blocks is Gray Field. Here are observation places that observe the fire of an artillery and communicate by radio with the ground forces. I can see a lot of planes sitting around, wish I was in one of them.
That's about all there is. Want to see "Gone With the Wind" again. And get that book you mentioned.
See you in the next letter.

The Gathering Storm: The Wyoming Tribune for June 21, 1916
The almost certain war with Mexico loomed large. Locally, the problem was that the Wyoming National Guard was under strength and couldn't be mobilized until recruiting solved the problem. Interestingly, this edition reported that the European Allies were seeking to keep a war from breaking out, which certainly would have been in their interest, and that they suspected Germany wanted war to erupt, which was in fact true.
The Judge Mentzer mentioned in this article was either the Cheyenne lawyer or his father who was a National Gaurdsmen and who died of a stroke or severe heart attack some years later during a long ride during a Guard Annual Training.

Wexler discussed the latest in sunwear and eyewear trends and got host Jason Feinberg to model some aviator styles—a pair of Marc by Marc Jacob sunglasses, which were worn by Jeremy Piven on "Entourage," and a pair of Valentino 1190U ophthalmic frames. Before leaving "Live in Las Vegas," Wexler wrapped it up by telling viewers they were getting a sneak peak of what will be in dispensaries and stores within the next few months.

A Matter of Money
Louise bit into the crepe joyfully, as Saito smiled at her. Louise smiled back, but then a thought passed through her head. "Saito... where did you get the money for this?"
Saito looked at her surprised, "What do you mean?"
"I mean, you've been in my world for the past four seasons... I mean, the last year or so. So why do you have money on you?"
Saito waved his hand, "Oh, you know, I just had some left in my pocket."
"But didn't you say you got attacked, and they searched you for money when I sent you here?"
Saito looked surprised, and realised the truth. "Well... I dunno, I just happened to have some left somewhere."
"That reminds me," Louise said, "You've been wearing the exact same clothes every day for the last year. You've only taken them off to sleep, wash and get married. How have they survived this long? When did you wash them?"
Saito stared at Louise, then put his hands on her shoulders, and looked her straight in the eyes. "Louise, we spent the past year living together as master and familiar, in a world full of magic, where we've fought evil megalomaniacs, psychotic uncles, evil dragons, and just about every kind of clichéd villain in the metaphorical book. Now you're asking me where my money came from?"
"But all that stuff can be explained because magic exists. You can't explain how you have money which shouldn't exist."
"I asked Tabitha to create some!" Saito replied, swinging his arm to point at Louise.
Louise shook her head, then spoke in red, "There is no spell which can create money out of nothing. If it existed, then money would become worthless."
Saito stared at her, "Why were you speaking in red?"
Louise spoke in red again, "Because what I say in red is true."
"Only witches are allowed to use the red truth! Also, we shouldn't cross over into another fandom!" Saito spoke in blue.
In red once again, "I'm close enough to a witch!"
In blue: "But anyway, you can't show that those muggers didn't just miss my money!"
In red: "They weren't stupid enough to miss money in your pockets."
In blue: "Then I had some in the mansion, which I didn't take with me on the first, unexpected trip here!"
In red: "Knox's third: It is forbidden for the case to be resolved with clues that are not presented. You have never shown me that money! Therefore it cannot exist!"
Blue: "Then I picked it up off the street!"
Red: "I would have seen it! I did not, therefore you did not!"
The two stared at each other, panting as onlookers looked at them oddly.
"Anyway, the point is you should eat that before the cream melts," Saito said.
"Oh, yes!" Louise bit into the crepe again. "It really does taste nice, even if it was bought with impossible money."
Saito sighed, "Yes... of course Louise."
A/N: Just something I noticed. Where the hell does he get that money from? Fridge Logic much?

Scientific American launched its Food Matters blog in the fall of 2013. I was invited on as one if its regular contributors after the success of my guest post titled "Dear American Consumers, Please Don't Start Eating Healthfully, Sincerely, the Food Industry," which was Scientific American's 2013 blog of the year, and at the time of its publishing, the most-read blog post in Scientific American history.
Below you can read about the launch of the group blog, which includes a video interview with NYTimes' Andy Revkin and my fellow bloggers:

Lead poisoning is a serious problem that can lead to adverse health problems. In children, high levels of lead can cause damage to the brain and nervous system, behavioral and learning problems, slow growth, and hearing problems. In adults, lead poisoning can cause reproductive problems, high blood pressure, digestive problems, nerve disorder, memory and concentration problems, and muscle and joint pain.
Lead poisoning is especially a problem in cities with older buildings. Typically, lead is present in the paint from older buildings, in the water supply, and in the environment from cars and buses. Preventing lead poisoning in large cities, where there is such widespread possibility for exposure is both difficult and expensive. Federal programs have attempted to address this problem.
Lead poisoning is also an issue that buyers and sellers need to consider. Houses that were built before 1978 probably have paint that contains lead. Federal law requires that sellers disclose known information on lead-based paint hazards before selling a house. Sales contracts must include a federal form about lead-based paint in the building. Buyers will have up to 10 days to check for lead hazards and are likely to stipulate corrections.

"Hi Carol. You have sent me many emails, but I have never written to you.

I also have some of your lectures and I also listened to them along with reading your book and your emails. But still no significant progress. I was waiting for my breakthrough.
But I had a lot of clearing to do. I wasn't conscious of all the work that was going on, but I believe it was taking place. I finally believe, I mean consciously believe that I am a creator. I believe that I am responsible for the condition of my life, but I have a lot of assistance to help me create the conditions I truly want to experience.

U.S. Senate hopeful speaks at luncheon.
U.S. Senate hopeful Marco Rubio on Wednesday said the idea of America as an "exceptional" nation is imperiled but not dead, and called on local Republicans to help send him to Washington to provide an alternative to the doomsayers who believe the country's best days are past and whose policies would shrink the prospects for success for future generations.
Rubio is challenging Gov. Charlie Crist for the Republican nomination to the Senate seat recently vacated by Mel Martinez. The 38-year-old former speaker of the Florida House of Representatives visited Ocala to deliver a speech to the Republican Business Council's monthly luncheon, which drew 310 business and political leaders.
Rubio did not mention Crist by name during his 20-minute speech, nor did he delve deeply into policy.
Instead he offered an overview of his philosophy in remarks that were sprinkled generously with fawning references to the Founding Fathers and the promise they envisioned for the young nation they created and its inhabitants - a hope that Rubio illustrated by tapping his own upbringing.
Rubio declared that the founders had committed "treason" against the established and historical hierarchal view of how rulers related to their citizens.
They did so by arguing that people were granted natural rights by their creator, and that the government's "sole purpose" was to protect those individual rights, he said.
In one biographical note, the West Miami Republican said his own experience showed how radical the founders' approach was. A son of Cuban exiles who fled the Castro regime, Rubio said he had grown up in a community of exiles, some of whom had been imprisoned for years for criticizing their government.
But Rubio said his story also demonstrated how the founders' experiment upset the age-old presumption that one's outcome in life was determined by the "circumstances of your birth."
Societies that subscribe to such views offer no upward mobility, Rubio said. Thus, there were few places besides America where he, the son of a bartender, could rise to vie for one of highest political offices in the land.
Outlining what he called "our common heritage," Rubio noted, "We made a choice that we would not allow the government to pick the winner and the losers in society."
The government, he said, was designed to be the referee and not a player.
And, Rubio argued that concept has been diminished by current events and policy makers.
"What makes America exceptional in the world is our prosperity," he said at one point, and a by-product of that success has been global security.
"The world is a safer place when America is the most prosperous nation," he said, because "we will not use that power to inflict tyranny and oppression" on others.
Rubio contended that there are forces in Washington who believe that America's best days are gone, who believe the United Nations is the only hope and that our nation must surrender its unique character and become like the rest of the world.
"That's what they argue," he said, "and we need someone who will not only stand up against that agenda but offer the American people an alternative." And that, he added, is why he is a candidate.
Citing the recent economic growth in China, Ireland and other nations that have opted for free-market capitalism, Rubio observed, "The world is coming our way."
Briefly he touched on some issues, in which he seemed to not only draw distinctions between himself and Democrats but with Crist as well.
Without offering specifics, Rubio, in a line that drew his biggest applause, said the country has a "desperate" need for not just tax cuts but for "massive and dramatic" tax simplification.
He also blasted deficit spending, saying it was a malady common to Republicans and Democrats and was a "recipe for disaster" both in the short term and for the future.
Rubio also took a shot at "big government mandates" on environmental protection, saying if those are enacted, "we'll have the cleanest Third World economy on the planet."
He also warned of the "scourge" of American politics: pols who act "like Halloween" and will "dress up" in any costume they believe voters want to embrace.
In closing, Rubio said the founders had bequeathed not just America as a "geographic place" but a land for "dreamers, hopers and the most ambitious collection of people" the world had seen.
"There has never been a people, a country, a society like ours," he said. But without change in the nation's capital, this "unparalleled society" could wither away and leave future generations to ask how it disappeared.
Crist has held a commanding lead in many public opinion polls and has been endorsed by several top Republican leaders across the country.
Rubio, however, has polled well in many straw polls held by the GOP faithful and is attracting national attention of his own.
Earlier this week conservative columnist George Will more or less predicted that Rubio, as the more conservative choice, would defeat Crist and become Florida's next senator. Rubio has also appeared on the cover of the conservative magazine National Review.
