Reverend David Cooper, who served during the Falklands conflict, dedicated the memorial.
The guest of honour was General Sir Michael Rose during the ceremony on Saturday (June 28).
The design of the monument evolved from a drawing by Roxy Towells, and the children of Knights Templar School.
Roxy presented a posy of flowers to Lady Angela Rose.
An inspection on the 6th Battalion Rifles Guard of Honour by General Sir Michael Rose started the ceremony.
All other military services as well as civilian services were represented and laid wreaths to remember the fallen.
The West Somerset Brass Band, Jess Scott and Mark Pearce provided music and the children of Knights Templar School read a poem and sang Let there be Peace, accompanied by Carl Smethurst on guitar.
Major Robert McDonald, chairman of the Watchet Remembrance Project Group thanked the town for the support and help the group had received.
After the General had addressed the people, he was invited to cut the ribbon and unveil the monument, this he did with the help of Robert and members of the Royal Warwickshire fusiliers.
A minuets silence was observed, reveille was sounded, and the Kohima Prayer was read by Dr Glinn Court, a Burma Star Veteran.
Additional wreaths were laid by cllr Stewart Dowding , chairman West Somerset District Council, Town mayor Loretta Whetlor on behalf of the people of Watchet, Josh Crockford on behalf of the youth of Watchet, and Sara Summers on behalf of the Watchet Remembrance Project Group.
A number of white doves were released to symbolise peace. A spokesperson added: "All in all it was a very emotional and moving day for the people of Watchet.
"There was a fantastic turn out of people and we're very grateful to everyone who came and to the Watchet Phoenix Group and Glenmore Bakery."

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
Customers used to complain that the tooling for creating BI projects (Analysis Services MD and Tabular, Reporting Services, and Integration services) has been based on earlier versions of Visual Studio than the ones they were using for their other work in Visual Studio (such as C#, VB, and ASP.NET projects).
To alleviate that problem, the shipment of those tools has been decoupled from the shipment of the SQL Server product. In SQL Server 2014, the BI tooling isn't even included in the released version of SQL Server. This allows the team to keep up-to-date with the releases of Visual Studio. A little while back, I was really pleased to see that the Visual Studio 2013 update for SSDT-BI (SQL Server Data Tools for Business Intelligence) had been released. Unfortunately, they then had to be withdrawn.
The good news is that they're back and you can get the latest version from here:

The blog is amazing very impressive.
I just spotted that it was re-released as well.
My question is:
Will this re-released SSDT-BI for VS2013 work over a SQL Server 2012 database? I've got the software downloaded, but it's only making reference to SQL Server 2014 database Installation Center and VS2013.
We didn't have plans at the moment to upgrade from SQL 2012 to SQL 2014 since we recently made that move.
From what I've seen, the project file formats are unchanged. I've opened the projects in both VS2012 and VS2013 interchangeably without issue (so far), so I can't see why not.
Have you tried creating new projects by migrating SQL 2014 database with the new SSDT BI for VS 2013 installed ? Its not giving me any option to create a SQL database project on SQL 2014 however I can create SSAS and Tabular model using it.
The SSDT-BI install is just the BI project templates.
Have you installed the database project tooling from here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/hh297027
If you develop SSIS projects, they get upgraded and you cannot open the dtsx packages in VS 2012 anymore after the upgrade.
I would recommend to only use this if you are developing for SQL Server 2014.

Credit Information
Many medical residents relied on credit based loans, such as the Federal Graduate Plus loan or Private/Alternative loans at some point to assist in funding their education. Lenders utilize credit history/credit scoring from one of three major credit bureaus. If your credit is deemed adverse or derogatory, lenders will not provide loans. Although different lenders may vary slightly in their criteria for "clean credit," most will not extend credit to someone with bankruptcies, foreclosures, repossessions, charge-offs, open judgments or excessive past due accounts (no 30-60-90 day delinquency) on consumer loans or revolving charge accounts within the past two years. In addition, there must be no prior educational loan defaults unless they have been paid in full or satisfactory arrangements for repayment have been made.
In order to ensure adequate funding for your education, we encourage you to obtain your credit report early. If there are errors or adverse information reported, you would have the opportunity to make corrections before you apply for any credit based loans.

Adam Hart-Davis
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Lord Adam Hart-Davis IV, referred to by close friends as Adam Hart Dildo-Head, is a world renowned scientist with a fetish for cycling. He is most famous for his invention of the bike powered dildo which he first demonstrated to the world on his programme What the sex toy industry did for us. He is married to both Tony Robinson and Marty Jopsom. He first became interested in a TV career after being seen by the head of the BBC; Charles Darwin in a bike fetish pornographic video. From this moment on, he became the most well known person on TV (bar Fred Dibnah, whom Hart Davis aspires to be like) appearing in such programmes as How many fists can I stick in my ass and What the fuck did any of these people do for us. With a decline in his pornographic video career in recent years, AHD has become a well known icon of the music industry with such well known hits as Oh, shit, where has my helmet gone and Please love me...i'm a scientist.
edit Birth and early years
Adam Hart Davis was born on the 6th of November 1769. It was a long and painful birth for his mother as during his time in the womb, he had worked on his first ever science experiment. He had attempted to build the first prototype of the bike powered dildo that was to make him famous in later life. Unfortunately, due to the lack of materials in this first laboratory, he had to make the bike out of what he could find floating around, which included his own excrement and large lumps of cast iron his mother had eaten to fuel his love for science and engineering. Due to the sheer size of this early prototype, it came as a huge shock to his mothers vagina as he dragged it out with him that she ripped. This initial prototype was however doomed to failure as his use of a ferrous metal; Cast Iron meant that after only a few uses, the anal fluids involved would destroy the sexual contraption.
He first learned to ride a bike at the age of around two and a half months - in the year 1798, amazingly, due to his brilliant use of 'THE FORCE' this was long before he learned to walk and even before he learned the art of documentaries about the past...where it is believed he would rather be. His first bike was a red and white model of the Williams 600000000 bike. Note the red and white colour scheme, this was of course before he chose the extremely camp pink and yellow colour scheme that became such a well known part of AHD's clothing.
edit Pink and Yellow
Since Hart Davis first donned the pink and yellow clothing there has been much speculation amongst philosophers and poloticions alike as to why this has happened.
Aristotle is widely known to have said...
|I'm sure that his favourite dildo at a young age must have been this colour scheme. It's certainly what chose my favourite two colours.
Winston 'Sex' Churchill had this to say on the topic...
|Adam Hart Davis' clothing will remain a mystery to us till the end of humanity. It is my firm belief that the very moment that the mystery is revealed, the Universe will collapse into a heap of Dildo shaped objects.
Of course, Churchill was wrong, as we now know that it was in fact Overly Gay Man. This extremely camp, although possibly not gay as recent evidence has shown has terrible fashion sense. However, as AHD's sexual looks show us, he clearly got something right when designing Lord Davis' costume. Originally, as with most other superheroes, it was planned to cover his face to hide is true identity from the public. However, as he was so sexy, it was decided to show his face to the world even if, a few people would burst into orgasm just by looking at him.
edit The Chode Equation
A little known fact is that this brilliant piece of mathematical beauty; the Chode Equation, sometimes known as The Hart Dildo Equation was in fact conceived by the brilliant mind of Adam Hart Davis. Hart Davis had always been fascinated by the mathematics behind penis', indeed, coming up with several well known measuring systems, such as the Chodeatron scale and the Rictor Chode for the measurement of Chodes. Although these allowed a Chode to be measured, it didn't add much to the scientific understanding of these great beasts. For this, a scientific investigation needed to be carried out. By using various scale models, wind tunnels and imitation anus', Hart Davis came up with the most perfect equation in the universe, showing the amount of force that can be exerted by a Chode upon an Anus or Vagina before it rips.
This piece of mathematical beauty is as follows...
Failed to parse (lexing error): E_E=1/2 kx^2 ≡ E_k= 1/2 mv^2
- v - Velocity of entry of Chode in Failed to parse (lexing error): 〖M/S〗^(-1)
- m - Mass of Chode in Kg.
- x – Extension (stretch) of vagina/anus when penetrated in metres.
- K – Spring constant (springiness) of vagina/anus in Failed to parse (lexing error): 〖Nm〗^(-1)
edit Adam Hart Dildo Head and the Riding Stones
It is not truly known where the name Adam Hart Dildo Head came from, but it seems to have stuck and is now accepted to be an alternative name to his true name, sometimes more widely used in fact. From all the evidence we have regarding this choice of name, the best we can explain the naming process by is a group of Year 10 students sat in a Biology lesson were discussing their favourite bike riding, homosexual television scientists, which of course bought them onto the topic of the Lord of Science Adam Hart Davis. However, some confusion seems to have arisen by a certain Kit Lightning Strike Johns (whom we know now to be retarded) who seemed to have an idea that Mick Jagger was called McJagger and that Adam Hart Davis was in fact Adam Hart Dildo Head.
This name, that began merely as a confusion, has stuck with the public's respect for the great man and has become almost synonymous with his real name.
It was only after this confusion with the names, that AHD and Mick (Mc) Jagger became great friends. Mick (Mc), clearly taking a great interest in Hart Davis' attempts to improve the dildos of the world suggested in 1823, that they teamed up. This they did, to create the first ever band in the world...ever! After an initial working title of The Hairy Dildos dismally failed, they decided to take split the name between their interests. Naturally, AHD chose 'Riding' due to his love of bicycles, and Mick (Mc), being a world renowned Palaeontologist, chose to follow in the footsteps of his hero Dinosaur George Blasing and used the word 'Stone'.
This name bought instant success and they began touring the world in the bit at the back of Hart Davis' bike that used to carry all the science stuff for his shows in. It wasn't until 1845, when more bands had began to spring up, that the Riding Stones realised they needed to do something different. They decided, to write a song, entitled "Bicycle Race" (a song later covered by Queen for Adam Hart Dildo Heads 74756th Birthday). This song, being the first song, ever written ever became an instant hit, appearing on the TV show Top of the Chode. It was the invention of the band and the invention of the song that earned Adam and Mick (Mc) the title of most innovative people in the world. They took out a joint patent on the two inventions in the year 1848, which meant that all other bands had to stop operating and all other songs had to be destroyed. This, much like the effect the Catholic Church had on science, had much the same effect on music, leading us to having such god awful tripe as NIN today.
Unfortunately, Hart Davis' obsession with developing improved dildos proved to much for Mick (Mc) Jagger, and the sexual relationship between the two began to fray. The final straw was when Adam tried his new invention which comprised of 16 dildos strapped to the rear wheel of a bike upon Mick's (Mc) soft un-stretched anus. The rip that this caused also created a rip through the relationship between the two band members as no longer could Hart Davis stimulate Mick (Mc) with his Dildo themed inventions. The band finally split on the 16th of July, 1901 after releasing one last single; Oh Dildo, where art thou?
edit The Invention of Emo
For a brief period after the split up of the Riding Stones, AHD became very depressed. He took to wearing Skinny Jeans, cutting himself and also grew a fringe over his eye. This invention became known as Emo, another first for Adam Hart Davis. He patented this idea in 1864, this patent stopped people from being Emo for the next 25 years. Due to this pressure, kids started kind of copying it...naming their style, Scene...which was just a half arsed attempt to be Emo like Adam Hart Dildo Head. Fucking Scene kids.
In another attempt to be like him, they began using another of his ideas when the patent expired, this being the camera. Unfortunately, this is widely regarded as, as bad an idea as not shooting J.D Salinger before writing the Catcher in the Rye as it has caused untold misery and created pages with "146384692486349683469348643 photos of me" on Facebook.
edit His Huge Dong
It is well known, that Adam Hart Davis posses the largest penis in the known Universe.[1] It measures an astonishing 3258340698326903148671307918530913678134902860732409487543096982345917810989146091486146981346991467507291857109787957 x 〖10〗^45 billion trillion gazillion miles long.[2] He uses this to pleasure several beautiful women, and each and every dildo made by him is based upon the shape of this amazing penis, albeit on a far smaller scale to reduce the risk of serious anal injury if used by the inexperienced operator.
edit Hart Dildo Enterprises
The breakdown of the Riding Stones led to AHD being rather short of money. He first tried to get a job in a porn film, but was rejected due to the fears that he may show up the other porn stars due to his giant dong. He decided, that he should use his natural abilities in some way to help him make money. This was of course the application of bike power to dildos. His first patent on behalf of the company was issued in 1933; coincidently the same year Hitler (a big fan of the application of alternative energy to dildos) came to power. Hitler decided to fund the foreign inventor in an attempt to help pleasure himself to a greater degree. Unfortunately, Hart Dildo Enterprises failed to pleasure the Fuhrer which lead to the start of WWII. Fortunately, for the Allies however, Churchill seemed to be heavily stimulated by the 1940 model, which led to the RAF winning the Battle of Britain. Contrary to popular belief, the US did not enter the war due to Pearl Harbour, instead, Theodore Roosevolt was highly dissatisfied by his Nazi manufactured dildo, he decided to try out the British made Hart Dildo Enterprises patent Dildo, which pleasured him far more. He agreed to enter the war with the Allies if a lend/lease agreement could be set up with the British Government on the supply of Hart Dildo Enterprises Dildos to the US Senate.
However, as was the case with most British industries, the Unions became to powerful and eventually went on several strikes. People just couldn't work without the stimulation provided by these Dildos, and by the 1970's due to this lack of sexual stimulation, Britain entered a gloomy period of three day weeks and so forth. By 1976, a once proud British company had gone bust. On the 16th of February 1976, the last dildo rolled off the production line, bringing to a close the long history of the company.
Happily, however, an enterprising young man bought up the patents and tooling, and as of 2010, has began manufacturing a small range of original dildos under the banner Fenton Dildos.
edit Television career
After the success of Hart Dildo Enterprises, AHD had money to invest into a TV career. He wanted to remove himself from the pornographic industry and instead concentrate on Scientific and Historical Documentaries, aimed at a wider audience than lone 16 year old boys without girlfriends. After constantly masturbating in front of the head of the BBC and raping David Dimbelby repetitively, it was decided a series would be set up combining his love of cycling and sex. It was to be called Local (RAPE) Heroes, it followed a format where he would ride around the country in his obligitary pink and yellow clothing and bicycle, meeting famous rapists from certain areas, then re-enacting their rape using materials stored in a trailer behind his bike; usually involving lots of sticky tape and scraps of wood.
Unfortunately, rape was banned in the year 2006, along with paedophilia and general child molestation (even though Catholic priests are of course exempt from this rule), these set of ridiculous laws stopped a lot of programming including the highly popular George Blasing paedophilia series. This bought to an end this initial series.
However, the BBC had heard of this impending legislation long before the 2006 date, and had began producing a set of series under the collective title "What the Fuck did they do for us?". These ground breaking series looked at a different group of people for each separate series, with each series comprising of 6 episodes spread over 6 weeks. It would see Hart Dildo looking at important features of interest to each group and discussing with experts the importance of each artefact and group of people. What the series is remembered for is Hart Dildo's excitement at having a go with whatever was being shown to him. This is fondly remembered in the British public's hearts when he tried out the first mechanised dildo, developed way back in 1712 by Thomas Newcomen. This great contraption of wood and black cast iron ripped Hart Dildo's ass right down the middle meaning he had to have several operations on his anus before he could return to broadcasting.
edit Footnotes
- ↑ It may be possible that creatures with larger penis' live in far off parts of the Universe, but it is impossible to reach these distant places, until the patents expire on Hart Davis' Spaceship Warp Drive patents.
- ↑ This could be simplified to 325 squillion, but Hart Davis holds a patent on the number a squillion.

* EU worried about subsidies to telecoms gear makers
* Huawei, ZTE hold almost 25 pct of EU market
* Both companies deny illegal subsidies
* Sanctions would follow duties on Chinese solar panels
The European Commission plans to send a formal warning to China that it is ready to levy trade duties against telecoms equipment makers Huawei Technologies Co Ltd and ZTE Corp over what it says are illegal subsidies, people close to the matter said.
EU trade chief Karel De Gucht is set to win support from the bloc's executive on Wednesday to send the warning letter and show China's new president, Xi Jinping, that Brussels is serious about countering what it says is state support.
"We want to send a warning to the Chinese, a letter of intent that if they don't change their practices, there will be duties," said one person involved, adding that De Gucht had the full backing of European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso.
China's foreign ministry, as well as Huawei, the world's second-largest telecom equipment maker behind Sweden's Ericsson, and fifth-biggest vendor ZTE say the companies' operations conform with international trading regulations.
"We hope the EU can proceed from the standpoint of protecting the stable development of trade relations with China and not make promises to undertake protectionist measures or adopt restrictive measures," foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei told a news conference.
The EU decision marks an intensification of efforts to guard against what Brussels says is dumping by China, the EU's second-largest trading partner. From June, the Commission will also levy duties on billions of dollars of solar panels from China, EU officials have told Reuters.
Unlisted Huawei was a little-known telecom equipment firm less than a decade ago but now, along with its smaller rival ZTE, it holds almost a quarter of the European market.
That poses a security risk, the Commission says, because European industries ranging from healthcare to water utilities are becoming reliant on cheaper Chinese wireless technology.
An internal EU report last year recommended that the 27-member bloc should take action against Chinese telecoms equipment makers as their increasing dominance of mobile networks made them a threat to security as well as to home-grown companies.
Chinese telecom equipment makers receive export rebates from the Chinese government and are also able to sell their equipment at lower prices as China's state-run policy banks usually provide loans for network infrastructure in emerging markets, industry sources said.
However, Huawei and ZTE argue that European governments also provide some form of incentives for their own telecom equipment makers, they said.
A Huawei spokeswoman in Brussels declined to comment on the move, but the company denies receiving unfair subsidies. It says its advantages are due to low-cost manufacturing and that its products are secure.
ZTE said its operations conform with trading regulations of the World Trade Organization and local markets, and it is also committed to safeguarding the interests of China and Europe.
"We are confident that our practices are in line with regulations in China and other markets," said ZTE spokesman David Dai Shu.
Huawei derives more than a third of its revenues from Europe, Middle East and Africa, while ZTE gets around a quarter of its revenues from Europe, the Americas and Oceania markets, company data showed. No further breakdown was available.
"There is probably slightly more impact on Huawei as it has a larger market share in Europe compared to ZTE. Some of ZTE's projects in Europe aren't making money anyway," said Yang Haofan, a telecom analyst from Guotai Junan Securities.
"As for European vendors, they face getting fewer contracts for their bids in China's 4G market if the EU does go ahead with its sanctions," Yang said in Shanghai by telephone.
De Gucht told Reuters in February that there were serious concerns about China's growing presence in mobile telecoms networks, noting that the United States and Australia had effectively shut Huawei out of their markets over security concerns.
Last year, Germany excluded Huawei from supplying the infrastructure for a national academic research network.
But European manufacturers Ericsson, Alcatel-Lucent SA and Nokia Siemens Networks fear retaliation in China if they push to launch an anti-subsidy case, so the Commission has been collecting evidence on Huawei and ZTE with a view to launching a case on its own initiative.
Division among EU countries over the telecoms issue meant De Gucht has trodden cautiously. Britain and the Netherlands have embraced Huawei as a major job provider, while France and Italy have been backing De Gucht on going ahead with sanctions.
Officials say they now have proof of Chinese subsidies.
"This is a political decision tomorrow," said another person briefed on the Commission's thinking. "It's basically saying, we have all the evidence we need, we don't need to launch an investigation," the person said.
The Huawei spokeswoman noted that the company had offered several times to meet the European Commission but was rebuffed.
"We are open to talking with stakeholders. Because there are allegations, there are misunderstandings and misperceptions, that's why we are always keen to discuss with all the stakeholders," Tina Tsai said.

A serotonin receptor agonist is a compound that activates serotonin receptors, mimicking the effect of the neurotransmitter serotonin.
There are various serotonin receptors
5-HT1A receptorEdit
Buspirone, a 5-HT1A receptor agonist that is an anxiolytic medication.
5-HT1D receptorEdit
Triptans are 5-HT1D receptor agonists that are used to abort migraine attacks.
5-HT2A receptorEdit
Hallucinogens like LSD, mescaline and psilocybin act as 5-HT2A agonists, and action at this receptor is thought to be primarily responsible for their hallucinogenic effects (although the 5-HT1A and 5-HT2C receptors are also involved to a lesser extent)
5-HT4 receptorEdit
Cisapride is a 5-HT4 receptor agonist that has been used to treat disorders of gastrointestinal motility.

A record number of children have secured a place at one of their preferred primary schools for next year, but a fifth of Croydon's four-year-olds missed out on their top choice.
Parents yesterday received letters allocating their child a place to start school in September, with 81.8 per cent of applicants winning a place at their first-choice primary.
The figure is a rise from 78.9 per cent last year, despite an increase in children, and comes amid a £325m programme to increase create more places for a surging school-age population.
Some 4,816 children have applied to start school next year, compared to 4,726 in 2013.
Ninety-four per cent of applicants were allocated a place at one of their top three preferred schools, which Croydon Council said was the highest ever rate.
But 2.1 per cent did not win a place at any of their chosen six schools and have been allocated a spot at the closest school with remaining capacity.
The council said all children who applied by the January deadline had been allocated a place.
Nathan Elvery, the council's chief executive, said: "Parents of 4,530 of Croydon's children will be delighted to learn over the next few days, if they haven't already, their children will be going to one of their three favoured schools.
"This is fantastic news for everyone and shows how our focus on building new school places is paying off for the benefit of local people."
Croydon Council's has been allocated £133m in Government funding for its school-building programme in the face of a projected increase of 1,560 school starters by 2017.
The council said it was continuing to lobby the Government for further money.
Some of the money has been spent on building a new school, to be run by the Harris Federation, in Haling Road, South Croydon, while the funding will also be used to create 10 bulge classes across the borough from September.
Three free schools - Paxton Academy in London Road, Advance Free School in Upper Norwood and Harris Invictus in West Croydon - are also scheduled to open in the autumn.

This device operates as both an RF frequency detector, securing against wireless cameras and listening devices as well as GPS trackers, and a phone tap detector to warn you in case of phone bugging.
The RF bug detection function is simple to use. Just turn the device on and its 3 LEDs will alert you to the presence of any devices transmitting a wireless signal up to 25 feet away, depending on signal strength. This includes wireless listening devices and cameras, as well as GPS tracking devices. The stronger the signal, the more LEDs will illuminate.
The phone jack adapter allows you to connect the device to any landline telephone. It will alert you to the presence of listening devices like the Infinity bug, or hook-switch bypass, which turn your phone's receiver into a microphone someone can use to listen in on private conversations. The telephone tap detect LED will immediately let you know if someone is listening in on your private conversations.
Also included is a "white noise" generator CD. Use any CD player to emit acoustic masking sound that will baffle the microphones in audio recorders and transmitters.
This State-of-the-Art Device Detects:
All Types of Telephone Transmitters
Spy-Cams and Transmitting Video Cameras
Telephone Recording Devices
Bumper Beepers
Body Wires
GPS Vehicle Tracking Transmitters
All Types of "INFINITY" Listening Devices

Shopping at the mall can be expensive. Local malls, filled with designer brands that come at steep prices, are sometimes unaffordable to students. Reduced thrift store prices provide some students with an affordable option to express their style. Not only do local thrift stores offer new and resale clothing with more affordable prices than high-end retail stores, but shopping in thrift stores is also an experience in and of itself. Here are two popular local thrift stores to visit.

Just bought a new Brinkman 2500 gas grill with the smoker box built in the front of it. Was not planning on the purchase but was a Walmart and they had them on closeout for $225 from $298. I have cooked a pork butt and my first brisket in it. Both came out tasty! I used hickory chips on the pork with good luck in the built in smoker box.
I am very pleased with the new grill. Having 4 burners is very nice to do indirect cooking. It lets you control heat pretty easy.
I so have a question? This has coated cast iron grates and I am worried about bushing off the coating. Any suggestions?
I like sweet / smoky sauces and they leave quite a residue on the side of these new grates that don't seem to burn off like my old stell wire grates.

SEVEN people, including a staff member, were injured in a Christmas Eve scuffle between asylum seekers at the Australian immigration detention centre on Manus Island, Papua New Guinea.
A spokesman for Immigration Minister Chris Bowen has confirmed that the seven sustained minor injuries in the clash between Tamil and Iranian asylum seekers.
It is believed the incident happened in the internet room when the Iranian detainees tried to recruit the Tamil detainees to protest, and the Tamils refused to take part.
A staff member for G4S, the company that runs the centre for the Australian government, was among those injured. All were treated on site.
PNG police spoke to witnesses but have not taken any action. Inquiries are continuing.
The minister's spokesman said about 20 Iranian detainees staged a sit-in in the internet room after the scuffle.
About 130 people are being held on Manus Island, including women and about 30 children.
News of the incident came as lawyers and human rights advocates criticised proposals before Parliament that would extend offshore processing to any asylum seeker who reached the Australian mainland by boat. Currently, asylum seekers who reach the mainland by boat cannot be sent to Nauru or PNG for processing, unlike those who reach outlying islands.
The change was one of the recommendations of an expert panel chaired by former defence chief Angus Houston, refugee advocate Paris Aristotle and foreign policy expert Michael L'Estrange.
In its submission to a Senate inquiry into the bill, the Australian Human Rights Commission said the proposal risked breaching many rights and obligations, including the right to freedom from arbitrary detention, the right to humane treatment, and the obligation not to penalise asylum seekers for arriving without authorisation.
The Law Council of Australia said in a submission the proposal was ''inconsistent with the spirit and purpose'' of the Refugee Convention to which Australia is a party, and undermined Australia's obligations under other human rights conventions. It said the bill should not be passed because it would extend to another group of asylum seekers arrangements to transfer asylum seekers to countries that did not adhere to human rights and rule-of-law principles.
The Refugee and Immigration Legal Centre said the proposal to effectively excise the Australian continent from the migration zone was ''unnecessary, perpetuates a legal fiction which continues to represent no more than an irresponsible avoidance of international obligations to which Australia has committed, and will likely cause damage to those people we have committed to protect''.
It said the bill perpetuated discriminatory treatment of refugees who arrived by boat, compared with those who came by air, with or without authorisation. People had a right to seek protection from persecution, regardless of their manner of arrival, the centre said.

Throughout Naruto, when Naruto or Sasuke learns something new or becomes more powerful, they always become equal. For instance, when Sasuke activated his sharingan, Naruto learned to use the 9-tails chakra. When Sasuke learned Chidori, Naruto learned Rasengan. When Sasuke learned lightning element jutsu and combined that with chidori, Naruto learned wind jutsu and combined that with Rasengan.
Now that Sasuke has gained itachi's powers, MS, Tsukyomi, Amaterasu, and Susano, Naruto has to learn something new to compensate for that.
I think that in the scroll Jiraiya sends to Naruto, there is some sort of power about equal to that of the MS and all of the abilities that came with it. There are several possibilities, I think:
1. Secret to the rinnegan (as you might know I believe Naruto will gain the rinnegan )
2. The 4th's teleportation jutsu
3. Something having to do with the kyuubi's power
4. Completion of the rasengan
5. The name of another jutsu that I've forgotten...
Whaddya think

HOUSTON - It was bittersweet for downtown shoppers Saturday morning as diehard Macy's fans were at the door, ready to take advantage of sales on its very last day.
The downtown icon on Main Street is closing its doors and offering customers significant farewell sales.
Rachel Jones and her friend, Margie Rodriguez, just had to come to the final day. They have fond memories of the former Foley's store.
"Oh, this is the last time in going to walk through these doors," said Jones.
"I used to come here every Saturday with my parents and by myself as teenager, then go to the Lowes," said Rodriguez. "We'd meet people here and go to the theater. It was so nice."
After 66 years in business, the store is now, practically empty. Bare fixtures with no inventory, but the shoppers were eager to get in.
"I'm looking for mink coats and purses," said Joyce White.
Luckily for White, a few fur coats were still hanging on the racks.
"This used to be the it place to be when you wanted to buy something," White said.
For years, this was Houston's largest department store. While the stories were being told, the focus returned to shopping.
"It's sad to see it go, but I'm happy for the sales," one customer said.
Rugs were selling for 75 percent off. Shopper Kelly Anderson drove two and a half hours from Nacogdoches to purchase them.
Other shoppers stopped by without a specific purchase in mind.
"There's really nothing left, just store fixtures and rugs," said Phillip Newsum.
Newsum is right if a shopper is scouring the men's department. The same can't be said about women's clothing. A selection is 70 to 80 percent off, and shoes are 90 percent off, to boot.
A fair amount of former employees who care more about the memories than markdowns also visited. The space is rich with history, having opened in 1947 as Foley's.
"I can remember coming here as a child at Christmastime to see the windows," said Pam Reed. "They were always decorated with animated characters. I have fond memories, so it will be sad."
Macy's took over the building in 2000. The owner plans to demolish the building to make way for a new retail development.

A blaze-hit factory is set to be rebuilt on the same site – with work starting just nine months after the fire which devastated it.
The Airedale Air Conditioning site in Rawdon was badly damaged in the fire in September. But now the company is planning to start rebuilding work in June with a view to opening the new factory in July 2015.
The company has submitted a planning application to Leeds City Council. A demolition notice for the site has already been approved.
Airedale says the new development will be generally within the existing footprint, but will extend slightly towards the north.
It is proposed to extend the new building into the hillside to the north of the old factory to help minimise the impact on nearby residents. They are also planning to relocate the factory areas away from the nearest homes.
The new proposals also include improved access from the A65 and a pedestrian island at the junction with the main road.
The new scheme will mean the demolition of the on-site premises currently used by the Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre, but Airedale says the centre will be relocated before work starts.
At its height, more than 100 firefighters fought the catastrophic blaze, and thick, black smoke could be seen for miles around.
Airedale vowed to bounce back even stronger than ever to assume its position as a world leader.
Within days of the devastation, staff were picking up orders at a show in London – and loyal customers of the long-established firm offered to wait for their goods.
The company, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, moved to a new temporary site in Leeds and started making plans for a new state-of-the-art facility.
In October, the company opened Airedale International in Russia, and revealed that it would be opening an office in Dubai.
Last week, Pudsey MP Stuart Andrew visited the temporary premises and tweeted: "Great to visit Airedale International at their temporary premises following the fire. Good to hear their plans to rebuild back in Rawdon."

Topic: Where we're at
Hi all, well finished the five days of SRBT, went great. The radiologist said he felt "very good" about how hard he hit it. I saw the Oncologist today and the plan is to start Gen/Cis on Monday with port placement. I'm feeling pretty good except getting tired more easily. We played golf on Sunday, but I could only play 15 holes before I had to bag it...of course it was 100 degrees outside too. Anyway, Here is my question of the week. I am on short term disability at work and was wondering how to decide when to try to get back to work? I feel so useless lying around doing nothing. I want to get back to work as soon as possible.

I just start to learn Python for almost half one month.
But there is uncertainty for the style of Python, for example:
we can use "function(class)" to accomplish some targets while we also need to use "class.function" to accomplish some other targets.
I accept we should use some reserved function, like "print", to be used in front of CLASS. But as Python comes from community, different contributor makes their module in different ways, this causes the current status.
I think this is not easy for the beginner. And I wish there should be a regularity.
I don't know if Ruby could be better in this prospect.
Do you have good explanation? Thanks!

After Winfield Scott Schley's graduation from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1860, he served as a midshipman on an expedition to China and Japan. During the Civil War, he served first in the Western Gulf Squadron, where he participated in the capture of Port Hudson, Louisiana, in 1863, and later in the Pacific Squadron. He was promoted to lieutenant in 1862 and lieutenant commander in 1866.
Schley taught at the Naval Academy from 1866 to 1869 and again from 1872 to 1875. Between the two stints at the academy, he served in the Asiatic Station and participated in the U.S. Korean Expedition in 1871. He was promoted to commander in 1874 and served in various capacities in Europe, on the coast of Africa, and in the South Atlantic. Among his commands were USS Essex, USSBaltimore, and USS New York.Schley was also assigned to several posts in the Lighthouse Bureau and served as chairman of the Lighthouse Board in 1897-1898.
In 1884, Schley commanded a relief operaton to rescue Lieutenant Adolphus Greely's trapped Lady Franklin Bay Expedition in the Arctic after several others had failed. Traveling through 1400 miles of ice, Schley and his crew succeeded in rescuing Greely and six of his companions. Schley co-wrote a book about the rescue in 1885.
Schley was commissioned as a commodore in 1898. At the outbreak of the Spanish-American War, he was placed in charge of the Flying Squadron, commanding the flagship USS Brooklyn. Admiral Sampson, his superior officer as head of the North Atlantic Squadron, sent him in pursuit of Spanish Admiral Cervera, first to Cienfuegos and then to Santiago de Cuba. Schley at first declined to go to Santiago but ultimately found his way there and assisted Sampson with a blockade of the harbor to trap the Spanish fleet. On July 3, the Spanish ships attempted to evade the blockade while Sampson was ashore. After a near collision between the Brooklyn and another U.S. ship gave the Spanish fleet an opportunity to escape, Schley's squadron pursued and defeated Admiral Cervera and destroyed the Spanish ships.
Sampson's victory message made no mention of Schley's role, and in fact Sampson believed that Schley had been insubordinate and careless. The public, however, viewed Schley as the hero of the Battle of Santiago de Cuba. In 1899 Schley was commissioned as a Rear Admiral and given command of the South Atlantic Squadron. He retired from active duty in 1901.
Also in 1901, at Schley's request the Navy convened a court of inquiry, comprised of Admiral George Dewey and two other admirals, to investigate charges made against Schley for his conduct before and during the Battle of Santiago. The majority found that Schley had engaged in misconduct and shown poor judgment, but recommended that no action be taken. Admiral Dewey, however, issued a minority report praising Schley and giving him credit for the victory. Although the findings of the majority went against Schley and were ultimately upheld by the Secretary of the Navy and by President Theodore Roosevelt, the publicity of the court of inquiry enhanced Schley's status as a war hero.

- The daughter of Uzbekistan's autocratic president, Gulnara Karimova, has for some time been the western-friendly face of the regime. She has released a duet with Gérard Depardieu, launched a fashion line and even has her own perfume. However, attention is turning to her other persona: "that of the ruthless businesswoman, ready to use her family position to crush business rivals."
- Bassem Youssef, Egypt's equivalent of US chat show host Jon Stewart, has been the target of death threats and law suits, but he shrugs them off: "It is a guarantee that freedom of speech will not be oppressed if we continue to speak."
- Steven Cook at the Council on Foreign Relations argues that the Egyptian opposition's feckless approach to politics underscores the need to replace wedge issues and anti-Muslim Brotherhood sentiment with real policies.
- Why the White House shmooze-fest? The "president's only route to a so-called grand bargain for deficit reduction is to go around the leaders to build a bipartisan consensus."
- As it is International Women's Day, we thought we'd share with you this cheering article on the media's double standards for women at the top.

TPW Commission Approves $4 Million In Texas Trail Grants
AUSTIN, Texas – The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission approved funding Aug. 25 for 37 National Recreational Trail Grant projects across the state totaling $3,930,795.
Recreational trail grants are administered by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Grant applications are approved based on recommendations from the Texas Trails Advisory Board. Funding for the grants comes from a portion of the federal gasoline tax representing gas purchases for off-road recreational vehicles, such as off-road motorcycles and four-wheelers.
The purpose of the National Recreational Trails Fund is to provide funding for projects that create new and maintain existing motorized and non-motorized recreational trails.
This round of grants includes six motorized trail projects awarded to the cities of Big Spring and Bridgeport and to the Texas Motorized Trails Coalition, Judy Jernigan, Texas Engine-Run Rec. Assn. and the Texas Off-Roaders Association, as detailed below. These grants help fulfill a goal to provide appropriate places for off-road motor vehicle recreation in Texas, an outcome of a state law passed several years ago to ban motor vehicle traffic in riverbeds.
Three grants to the city of Grand Prairie, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Cedar Hill State Park detailed below are all part of the same project, a long-term plan to create a 70-mile trail around Lake Joe Pool in Dallas County.

Undefeated season for Miners
Wednesday, Jul 16, 2014 06:00 am
The St. Albert Senior Miners finished the regular season Friday night and enter the playoffs with a perfect record of 16-0.
�I don�t think anyone on the team envisioned an undefeated season,� said Sr. Miners� head coach Vay Diep. �It wasn�t like that. We set goals we wanted to reach at the beginning of this year and focused on them. The team came out and gave everything every practice and every game to complete those goals. Sixteen-zero is a byproduct of that.�
The Sr. Miners met the Spruce Grove Slash on Friday night and absolutely ran them over with a score of 20-9. The Slash seemed unprepared for the Sr. Miners in the first and found themselves on their heels early in the game.
�We play a high pressure, aggressive defence,� said Diep. �If you�ve never seen a lacrosse game and are coming to see us, be sure to watch that. It�s exciting lacrosse.�
In the second and third the Slash found their legs and started to be competitive but they could not overcome the pressure and were unable to win a period. The Sr. Miners never let up and kept scoring until the final whistle.
The teams� overwhelming offensive pressure has been there for them all season long and will be counted on in the playoffs.
�Watch number 44, Graedon Cornfield, when he gets possession,� said Diep. �He had 50 goals in 15 games this season. It�s something else.�
The team lost in the provincial finals two years ago and was eliminated in last year�s semifinals. It was a disappointing finish for such a talented team. Diep decided that something had to change.
�This process that we went through, it started last year,� said Diep. �We looked at the things we were doing and identified problems we had as a team. The big problem we had was with our depth. It wasn�t enough and the injuries were costing us. We needed to be more committed, more competitive, and we needed more depth.�
Diep set the team three goals in stages to commit to at the start of the season.
�First, we have to secure home floor advantage in the playoffs. With this season we�ve done that,� said Diep. �Second, we have to win provincials. This team is more than capable of doing that. Third, we want to compete at nationals. Every player on our team is focused on these goals.�
The St. Albert Sr. Miners play the first game of the post-season Wednesday night at Servus Credit Union Place. The game starts at 8 p.m.
The Sr. Miners play their second playoff game Friday night in the same stadium at 8 p.m.
The playoff match ups were unknown at press time.

The entire list
Harun Yahya's Influences
In most of the societies, women are not attached the necessary importance, violence against women who are trying to be something more than second-class citizens, is increasing day by day. Giving the necessary importance to women, and their having a respectable position in their societies, is undoubtedly one of the topics that Adnan Oktar gives wide publicity to.
In recent days, a lot of people from different regions drew attention to a wrong point of view about women by making statements about this topic, one that Mr.Adnan Oktar has kept constantly on the agenda and expressed that this issue should be resolved.
June 11th 2011: A9 TV
ADNAN OKTAR: It forbids joy, it forbids laughing. They have created laws that young girls do not have a right of normal living, they take a hard line with them. Women are being shown as second-class citizens, being dehumanized, viewed with suspicion and distrust. In fact, there is also the same mindset in the extreme sects of Christians and Jews.
People need to see the manifestation of Allah in women. If the ordinary value is given, the women are heavenly creatures, they are great assets. The world's most beautiful ornament is women.
September 7th, 2010: Gaziantep Olay TV and Cay TV
ADNAN OKTAR: Some people think that bigotry and oppression will make women happy. For example, they do not trust women, they say "women must be at home". The thought of seeing women as distrustful and potentially dangerous lies behind this strange mindset. Killing their daughters as soon as they are born is a characteristic of the polytheists and hypocrites. There is a great hatred of women in the hypocrites. There is a mindset of everything being pro-men. However, Almighty Allah has used a style of advocating for women all the time. It is always in favor of women. The verses in the Qur'an are always on the protection of women. So in the Qur'an all the responsibility is on men but in the bigots system, everything is intended to protect men; also it is intended to oppress women. After that, insha'Allah, we do not allow such a thing ...
February 4th, 2010: Aksu TV and Çay TV
ADNAN OKTAR: Well done to those strapping brave man Masha'Allah. He has said something very nice, well done. Turkish-Islamic Union means far more freedom. It is far more intelligent. It is technology, science, art, aesthetics, love and beauty. It is the freedom and joy of all the young people. It is the freedom of, the joy of young girls. Young girls will gather together to sing, they will have fun. Young men will have fun, insha'Allah. A woman will be able to go to Damascus alone. She will be able to go on pilgrimage alone.
29 September 2013, Hürriyet
In an interview, Prof.Dr.Ali Kose, the Dean of the Faculty of the University of Marmara said that there is a 'woman problem' throughout the Islamic World, one where women can not even feel safe while they are going on pilgrimage.

This burger is perfect in the summer when peaches are plentiful and delicioius. The fruit relish offsets the heat of the jerk seasonings and my kids just love it.
This burger puts the flavors of Miami on a bun. Citrus and garlic pork, jicama and plantain chips for an unexpected sweetness and crunch.
My inspiration was a summer road trip to Memphis. I fell in love with the city and the food.
I was born and raised in Indiana, which truly is the heartland of America. I've definitely tried to bring together a lot of great Indiana-based ingredients in this Big Ten burger.

It took him 1,161 games to do so, and he came close 38 times before, games in which he scored two goals, but not three.Jeez - even Georges Laraque had a hat trick to his credit, and Oilers rookie Ryan Nugent Hopkins got his first hat trick in his 3rd NHL game!Good for Doan! It was just a matter of time really, but it was an anomaly that it didn't happen sooner.

LAKELAND, Fla. – In an unbelievably dramatic final round of NCAA Division II South Region golf, Lions' sophomore Clare Connolly came up one stroke shy of the national tournament, falling in a three-way playoff. Connolly shot a 76-78-73—227 for the tournament, posting an impressive average round score of 75.6 to place her tied for eighth individually.
Connolly showed incredible determination and focus in today's final round, at one point holing birdies on three consecutive holes on the back nine to completely turn her round around after position herself right back in the hunt.
Finishing her round around 12:00 p.m., Connolly had a nearly a three hour waiting period before she found out that there was a three-way tie for the third and final individual spot at the national tournament.
Kristen Sammarco of Armstrong Atlantic, Clara Teixeira of Rollins, and Connolly all finished with a three-round score of 227 (+11) and headed out to hole No. 18 for a three-way playoff.
Unfortunately, despite getting on the green in two shots, Connolly three putted to a bogey finish and was eliminated from the playoff after the first hole.

Wasted in the most extreme sense of the word. When one becomes filthy wasted he/she will do and say things that they would never dream of doing sober. You will also admit to things that you are ashamed of! Girls will want to slap bitches and then make out with 'em and guys will want to kill a nigga!

J.R. Bray was one of the leading and pioneering animators before World War I. He was the founder of Bray Productions, which was one of the first studios entirely devoted to animation (the Canadian artist Raoul Barré had also founded an animaton studio). Bray began his career in newspaper comics, doing the feature 'Singing Sammy' around 1907. Another comic feature by Bray was 'Mr. O. U. Absentmind'.
He soon evolved to become a pioneer in animated cartoons. His earliest films were released in 1913. He founded his animation studios in 1914. He was accompanied by Paul Terry and Earl Hurd a year later. Together with Hurd, he simplified cartoon animation by using cel animation. With Terry, he released the 'Farmer Al Falfa' cartoons. The studios further employed artists like Carl Anderson and the Fleischer brothers, who became famous for their cartoons of 'Popeye' and 'Betty Boop' years later.
In 1919, the rival International Film Service studio folded and owner William Randolph Hearst licensed Bray to continue the IFS series, leading most of the staff of the former studio to transfer to Bray. The Bray studios folded in the late 1920s, and Bray left the business. The educational/commercial branch of the company, Brayco, made mostly filmstrips from the 1920s until it closed in 1963.

U.S. soybean futures fell to their lowest level of the year Friday as mounting economic woes continued to fuel selling across asset classes.
Soybeans for November delivery, the most actively traded contract, dropped 25 cents, or 1.9%, to $12.58 a bushel at the Chicago Board of Trade. Corn futures also extended recent losses, with the December contract sliding 11 1/2 cents, or 1.8%, to a near three-month low of $6.38 1/2 a bushel.
Driving prices lower was widespread liquidation in equity and commodity markets that's stoked investor fears of an economic slowdown. The selling extended sharp losses from Thursday, when soybeans sank 2.8% and corn lost 5.2%. Soybean futures have retreated 13% since the nearby contract reached a three-year high in late August on concerns about low inventories, while corn is down 20% from an all-time high in June.
"There has been a huge amount of liquidation over the last few weeks, but there may be more to come," said Doug Bergman, broker for MF Global in Chicago.
Wheat futures avoided the selloff, rebounding from Thursday's 4.9% drop. Wheat markets felt some support from concerns about dryness reducing output in the U.S., Argentina and Ukraine.
Soft red winter wheat for December delivery rose 7 cents, or 1.1%, to $6.40 3/4 a bushel at the CBOT. Hard red winter wheat for December delivery gained 10 1/4 cents, or 1.4%, to $7.31 1/4 a bushel at the Kansas City Board of Trade. Hard red spring wheat for December delivery surged 31 cents, or 3.8%, to $8.51 a bushel at MGEX in Minneapolis.
Other markets
November rice dropped 1.1% to $16.48 1/2 per hundredweight. December soymeal slid 1.5% to $330.10 per short ton, and December soyoil sank 2.4% to 52.64c/pound. Ethanol for October delivery shed 1.4% to $2.52 per gallon. December oats fell 1.6% to a near seven-week low of $3.31 1/2 a bushel.

the picuture looks so good........
poorly crafted, crooked, bent pieces, I had to hire a professional to figure out a way to make the parts work. the piece arrived without some pieces included and I had to assemble parts that should have been already together...Read More
Looks great - nightmare to assemble
This island looks amazing now that it has been assembled - and fits a microwave and some bottles of wine attractively. The deep bottom drawer is also excellent. Overall I think the value for the price is quite good. The issue is that the assembly instructions were horrible. I actually think it would have been better to figure out how the piece should go together and ignore the instructions completely. After about 5 hours of two able bodied people working on this we had gotten into a fight, one of us had cried, and both of us had been injured. If you do not have two relatively handy adults to assemble this I would suggest avoiding it completely.Read More
Pass on this one
What a disappointment. Unfortunately I read the reviews AFTER I had made the purchase, and let me tell you, they are dead on. This thing is super poor quality, has poor finish in spots, scratches in the stainless top and some panels, things glued in crooked, missing parts and the worlds worst directions. I am an Engineer and know a thing or two about building things and writing instruction manuals. This one = FAIL. Save your money and look elsewhere.Read More
Not Easy to Assemble
It looks great now that it is assembled, but I had to call customer service twice for replacement or missing parts. For the price of the island, I don't think a person should have to do that!!!Read More
Looks Great but It was missing half the hardware
My review is mixed. the island looks great. However, for 600 bucks I think somebody should be making sure all the anchors and screws are in the box. Hard to attach "Q" and "R" if you don't supply them.Read More
Questions & Answers
It is a stationary island.
"how wide is the space in the middle?"
It is 24 inches wide.
"Do this have electrical plugs? Can it have an electrical device like a microwave plugged in? Can you plug it into an electrical outlet in floor below?"
The item does not come with electrical plugs, but if one is placed under you definitely can put a microwave in it, as pictured.
"Does this have any shelves, doors or drawers on the back?"
No, there are no additional shelves, doors, or drawers in the back of this island.
"I need this in white. Does this come in white? Hope so, this is exactly what I am looking for and it is the exact measurements too"
Unfortunately, we do not have this item in white.

HOUSTON - A man was arrested Monday after Houston police said he broke into a Baptist Church in northwest Houston.
The crime happened shortly after midnight at the Iglesia Bautista Del Redentor church, 4220 Lang Road at Lodge Street.
Investigators said the suspect broke a chain on a fence to get into the property and then tried to use a crowbar to break inside the church. An alarm was tripped, which scared the suspect away.
As the man was running away from the scene, police said he ran into officers who had already set up a perimeter.
Officials said musical equipment that had been stolen was recovered.
Rodrigo Vega, 22, has been charged with burglary of a building. His criminal history includes convictions on charges of burglary of a building, possession of marijuana, criminal mischief, possession of a prohibited weapon, trespassing, possession of a controlled substance and burglary of a vehicle.
The church's pastor said the church was also burglarized in November, but the thief escaped. He's planning on buying a larger fence to install around the property.
