VET Richard Chamings will be lacing up his hiking boots this morning (Friday) and stepping out on the first leg of a 100-mile trek across the wild Devon countryside.
Mr Chamings is tackling the challenge to raise money for Hounds for Heroes, a charity which trains assistance dogs for disabled military and emergency service personnel.
He said: "I'm originally from Devon, and the Two Moors Way across Dartmoor and Exmoor is a walk I've always wanted to do. I'm starting out in Ivybridge, and covering about 20 miles a day, I'll finish up in Lynton after five days."
Mr Chamings practices at White House Vets, Newtown Road, Malvern, and colleagues there will be helping with the fundraising, with two of them running a half-marathon later in the year, and a dog show being held on the Link Common.
He said: "We've got close to £1,000 in sponsorship already, and we hope to raise about £4,000 in total.
"It costs about £10,000 to train an assistance dog, so we'll only be paying for about half a dog, but every bit helps, because it's a very good cause. I'm just hoping the weather is OK.
"I've got a close friend to accompany me , so I won't be short of company. It's always better to have company on a walk like this."
Anyone interested in sponsoring him can call in to the surgery or visit justgiving.com/whitehousepetclub.

Green Remediation
What is Green Remediation?
Green Remediation is the application of technologies and approaches that enhance a cleanup project's environmental, social, and economic footprints. It is a holistic approach that incorporates sustainability concepts and life-cycle thinking over a broad scope and time horizon.
DTSC's Interim Advisory for Green Remediation-December 2009
The Interim Advisory for Green Remediation (get the document here) is intended for project managers, responsible parties, and environmental consultants performing sustainability or green remediation assessments at cleanup sites. DTSC's Green Remediation Team prepared this advisory to introduce the concepts of sustainability and life-cycle thinking. The advisory also shows how these concepts can be incorporated into any stage of a cleanup project, including site characterization, treatment alternative selection, remedial design implementation, long-term monitoring, operation and maintenance, and closure.
DTSC Green Remediation Initiative
The Green Remediation Initiative is a DTSC effort to promote the use of green technologies and sustainable approaches to site cleanup whenever appropriate. It can result in projects that utilize reused or recycled materials and minimize the consumption of natural resources; use less energy or are supplied by renewable energy sources; and generate less solid and liquid waste and fewer air emissions, including greenhouse gases, than do conventional approaches.
DTSC Green Remediation Team
The Green Remediation Team was formed in February 2007 to promote the use of green considerations in site investigation and cleanup. Following the release of the Green Remediation Advisory, the team expects to hold workshops to train DTSC cleanup staff in using the GREM tool. The team's goals are to continue with the development of the GREM; assist staff in applying the tool to cleanup projects; propose incentives; identify needs for legislative, regulatory or policy changes; and assist the department in estimating GHG emission reduction potential at cleanup sites within California. The team is coordinating with other nationwide teams to develop DTSC's initiative and create standards for green and sustainable remediation.
Feb. 4, 2009 DTSC Symposium: Global Perspectives on Green Remediation—Making Clean 'Green'
DTSC, in cooperation with U.S. EPA Region IX and the Groundwater Resources Association, hosted a free, one-day symposium titled Global Perspectives on Green Remediation--Making Clean "Green". The symposium brought together national and international environmental cleanup consultants, public and private sector entities restoring contaminated sites, brownfield developers, academicians, and regulators. The purpose was to encourage integration of "green" considerations into remediation decisions. International speakers from England and Canada participated in this event. They joined other experts who shared case studies and tools for assessing the carbon footprint, health and safety risk, and other impacts from the application of green or sustainable cleanup alternatives. The above link includes an agenda, from which speakers' biographies and presentations can be reviewed. The symposium previewed concepts now found in the Advisory (get the document) and presented breaking information on climate change revisions to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Other presentations are available at the above link and covered U.S. EPA's Green Remediation Primer, prospects for a Green Remediation certification program, and its Climate Change & Contaminated Lands Initiative; as well as a technical white paper under development by the U.S. Sustainable Remediation Forum (SuRF).

ORLANDO, Fla. - Attorney General Pam Bondi was in Central Florida on Friday to announce there is money to help families who have foreclosed on their homes and gone through some sort of fraud.
It is money from a landmark national settlement. Florida received the 2nd biggest chunk, $8.4 billion. $170 million is allotted for those people who lost their home from January 2008 to the end of 2011.
"This money, we fought long and hard for, for you, for the citizens of this state," said Attorney General Pam Bondi. "The problem is that we are up against a very hard deadline."
Local residents say they haven't seen the money come their way yet.
"We want to stay in our home, we want to keep it," said Deborah Bellamy, who says she is struggling to pay for her Pine Hills Home.
"All I'm wanting is a decent interest rate and preferably non adjustable," said John Anderson. He is trying to pay for his home in DeLand.
For homeowners like John, he just hopes a lot of red tape won't hold him back from saving his home.
"I like what I heard but I just hope this is not too complicated," he said.
The deadline to apply for the settlement has been extended to Feb. 15.
For more information about eligibility and filing a claim, you can go to NationalMortgageSettlement.com, call toll-free: 1-866-430-8358, or email firstname.lastname@example.com

AN ANDOVER tuba player has been recognised in the New Year's Honours list.
Steve Large, who is the musical director of Andover Town Band, was awarded the British Empire Medal (BEM) for his services to music.
The 52-year-old, who works for Parker Steel in Andover, was one of the founding members of the band, which formed in the town three years ago.
He helps teach up to 30 young people in the youth band.
Father-of-two Mr Large, whose wife and children are also part of Andover Town Band, said he was celebrating New Year's Eve with his family when he heard he had been awarded a BEM.
He said: "It's really nice and it's good for Andover to have someone in the town to be recognised.
"It was a little embarrassing, I like to just get on with things but I am very honoured.
"Everybody puts a lot of hard work into the band, but it is part of my hobby.
"I think the people around me and all of those involved in the band are more excited than I am.
"It has been a great honour and I appreciate whoever nominated me."
Inspired by his cornetplaying father, who was a Salvation Army bandmaster, Mr Large, of Sainsbury Close, has played a brass instrument since the age of five.
He was a member of Test Valley Brass until three years ago when he left to form Andover Town Band.
Mr Large said: "Brass banding is my hobby. I have spent a lot of time on it and have had reasonable success in brass bands winning at national finals.
"A lot of my work has been with younger players and I have seen them go on and do really well.
"Music is important and it's great to entertain but a lot of brass banding is not just about music.
"It's the discipline that will do you well for the rest of your life, being part of a team, working together and enjoying each other's company.
"It's about fostering good relationships that stands you in good stead for life."
The band regularly performs for charity, including a concert on Saturday, 11 January at Andover Baptist Church in aid of the Stroke Appeal.

Someone can explane me how the water Clone Jutsu of Zabuza is not considered a Derived Jutsu from Shadown Clone of Jutsu?DarioAD (talk),20:22, November 16, 2011 (UTC)
- For one, they're not made from the same thing. Shadow clones are made purely from chakra while water clones are made from water. Plus the water clone jutsu has no attachments to the shadow clone jutsu except that they are both bunshins. Joshbl56 20:03, November 16, 2011 (UTC)

Observers in eastern Ukraine believe bodies from Malaysian Airlines flight 17 have been moved into refrigerated railway cars with rebels now prepared to allow international experts in to start processing them.
Monitoring mission spokesman Michael Bociurkiw said in a "significant development" the OSCE had been allowed to visit the village of Torez near the crash site with good security.
At the railway station the team observed three refrigerated rail cars holding bodies, Mr Bociurkiw told reporters in a conference call on Sunday.
"We were told there were 169 bodies there although we have no way of independently verifying that," the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe spokesman said.
"The stench was absolutely overwhelming. I don't want to be too gruesome but it's a very, very difficult scene to watch."
Prime Minister Tony Abbott says Australia will do everything in its power to ensure the bodies of 37 Australians killed on Flight MH17 are respected and justice is done.
Almost 300 people perished when the plane was downed on Thursday.
Mr Bociurkiw said if the bodies at Torez were indeed MH17 victims it was a positive development because there were all being kept in one location.
He suggested they were moved on Saturday night or very early on Sunday morning.
"We were further told that the plan now is to keep those railway cars there and allow in international experts and then at that time a decision will be made where to take them," the mission spokesman said.
"They were wondering when experts will be arriving to start processing the bodies.
"The thinking is the cars should be taken to Ukrainian-controlled territory, such as Kharkiv, and they can be processed there."
Mr Bociurkiw said there appeared to be a preparedness to listen to international experts - from the Netherlands, Malaysia and other countries - and follow their guidance.
The railway cars were from Soviet times but there was no doubt they were refrigerated with power coming from the locomotive, he said.
The body bags the team saw were tagged with numbers.
But Mr Bociurkiw stressed it was not possible to enter the cars without professional protective equipment.
"The issue is what kind of security will be provided to the experts to actually get to this region where we are now."
The spokesman said the monitoring mission could try and facilitate that movement because it had "fairly good relationships with the people in charge".
The team on Sunday was escorted to the railway station by armed guards from the Donetsk People's Republic.
Back at the crash site Mr Bociurkiw said the body bags that had been previously on the ground had been removed.
He added that some bodies appeared to have been "vaporised".
"Not only bodies, but also parts, the heat must have been so intense."
He added that at the site there was now plastic tape around some areas that wasn't there on Saturday which was a "huge development".
Russian news agencies, however, report the bodies are heading to the rebel stronghold of Donetsk.

The Florida Department of Transportation engineers have figured out a way to make the Dock/C Street bridge, one of three to be replaced, 3 feet higher than the current bridge and to install a temporary bridge during demolition and construction so businesses on Dock Street don't suffer a loss of business.
And the good news is that the plan for construction of the $4.6 million structure will begin in Fiscal Year 2019 that begins on July 1, 2018, instead of the previously mentioned FY 2021.

The facility was built in 1948 and is a great example of the post-World War II hospitality industry in Florida with a mix of well maintained free-standing cottages and attached rooms. The complex covers a half a city block, with a multitude of gardens and it fronts on Goose Cove for those great Cedar Key sunsets.

Pompey trust edging closer
The Pompey Supporters' Trust believe they are closer to saving Portsmouth after receiving the backing of the Football League.
Last Updated: 10/12/12 5:40pm
The Pompey Supporters' Trust believe they are closer to saving Portsmouth after receiving the backing of the Football League.
The League are now awaiting the outcome of this week's make-or-break High Court hearing over the sale of Fratton Park, and for the PST to raise the remaining funds as set out in their business plan, before fully considering their application.
PST chairman Ashley Brown said: "We are very pleased the Football League has shown confidence in our bid by endorsing our proposed membership. This is a highly significant moment for the club.
"We have always argued that Pompey needs a community-led solution and we are very pleased the League shares our confidence in our ability to turn the club around.
"Thanks to the backing of our fans and our individual investors we have a robust business plan, which the League has endorsed.
"We now need fans to back us financially to ensure our club survives. This is a landmark moment on the road to rehabilitating the club and we now need everyone who can to buy a share or convert their pledge as soon as possible. This will ensure we are in a strong financial position prior to the court case."
The Trust's bid, and Portsmouth's future, hinges on administrators PKF gaining permission to sell Fratton Park, which is controlled by the club's former owner Balram Chainrai, at the High Court hearing which starts on Thursday.
The League have also confirmed Pompey still face a 10-point penalty if and when they finally come out of administration, which is likely to leave them in the relegation zone.
Brown added: "Of course we are disappointed that the League has confirmed the points deduction, although the reasons for it are the fault of those who have mismanaged the club so badly in its recent past."

A jury has been told that a Wiltshire pensioner tried to rape a young girl after repeatedly sexually abusing her.
Christopher Tiley, 67, a father of two grown-up children, of Grasmere, Melksham, denies two counts of attempted rape and 13 of sexual activity with a child in Devizes and is on trial at Swindon Crown Court.
Charles Thomas, prosecuting, today told a jury of five men and seven women that the first incident took place in 2008 in Devizes when he was saying goodbye to a girl of under 16 and tried to kiss her with his tongue.
Although she told her mother what had happened it was regarded as an accident.
A younger girl said he started to touch her improperly a couple of years later, eventually attempting to have sex with her.
Mr Thomas said Tiley had told her he was unable to get aroused for medical reasons and, after his arrest, inquiries with his doctor revealed he was receiving treatment.
The jury was told that the younger girl had called Childline and finally told her family what had happened in January last year.
When he was questioned by police Tiley denied all of the allegations, saying the incidents had not taken place.
The case continues.

A custody dispute between former Spice Girl, Melanie Brown and actor Eddie Murphy was behind her decision to pull-out of the top rating Channel Seven television show, The X-Factor, a court has heard.
And Ms Brown's current husband, Hollywood producer Stephen Belafonte, allegedly suggested that Seven could pay the legal costs of taking Murphy to court to secure custody so she and her children could return to Australia.
The revelations came during the ongoing court battle between television rivals Seven and Nine over the latter's poaching of Ms Brown as a judge for the re-launch of Australia's Got Talent.
Seven was furious at the move, declaring that Ms Brown had breached her contract with them to be a judge on its own flagship talent show X-Factor and immediately seeking an injunction in the NSW Supreme Court to prevent the singer from working for Nine or promoting any of its programs.
On Wednesday, the court heard that 'Mel B' had decided to pull out of The X-Factor because Eddie Murphy - with whom she has one child - refused to sign a consent form which would have allowed the child to get an Australian visa.
Late in the hearing a lawyer from Seven's production department, Jane Oswald, said that Mr Belafonte had told her he ''wasn't interested'' in paying the costs of taking Mr Murphy to court.
''He [Mr Belafonte] said that unless [Channel Seven Executive] Brad Lyons was willing to bank roll the case he wasn't interested in going to court to try and get Mr Murphy to sign the [consent] documents,'' Ms Oswald said.
Seven did not bankroll the case and the documents were not signed, leading Ms Brown to pull out of X-Factor's 2013 season.
The court heard that initially Mr Lyons, Channel Seven's head of production, and Mr Belafonte had continued to talk amicably about the possibility of another role for the singer.
Mr Belafonte had reportedly told him ''buddy, we're Seven people through and though.''
But their interactions became increasingly heated when news broke that Brown was joining America's Got Talent, and Mr Lyons indicated that, under the terms of her agreement with Seven, Mel B was prevented from either working for a rival network in Australia or promoting programs that would appear on one.
''Something has gone seriously wrong here,'' Mr Lyons said in an email to Mr Belafonte on March 12.
''Of course we agree that we couldn't and wouldn't stop Mel working overseas but you and I both agreed that if she was available to work in Australia then it would be with Seven."
Just days later it was revealed that Ms Brown was also joining Australia's Got Talent on Channel Nine.
The hearing continues.
Correction: This story previously reported that Mel B and Eddie Murphy have two children together. This has been amended to one child.


text: Politics 11 February 2013 The coalition fails to rise to the challenge on social care The £75,000 cap on costs planned by the government will help just 10 per cent of those needing care. Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML More than 18 months after Andrew Dilnot's landmark report into social care was published, the coalition will finally unveil its planned reforms today. In a statement to the Commons, Jeremy Hunt will announce that the government will introduce a cap of £75,000 on care costs and increase the threshold for means-tested support from £23,250 to £123,000, so that no one with assets worth less than this amount is forced to pay. The £1bn-a-year cost of the plan will be met through higher national insurance contributions on employers and a six-year freeze in the inheritance tax threshold at £325,000 (George Osborne's famous 2007 pledge to increase it to £1m now being a distant memory of a pre-austerity age). The first point to note about the £75,000 cap is that under the coalition's timetable it won't actually be introduced until April 2017. Thus, as shadow care minister Liz Kendall has noted, it "won't do anything for the hundreds of thousands of elderly and disabled people who are facing a desperate daily struggle to get the care and support they need right now". In addition, the cap, which excludes food and accommodation costs (typically around £7,000-£10,000 a year), is set a significantly higher level than that recommended by Dilnot. His report called for a cap of between £25,000 and £50,000 (settling on a figure of £35,000) and warned that anything outside of this range "would not meet our criteria of fairness or sustainability". A cap above £50,000 "could mean people with lower incomes and lower wealth would not receive adequate protection." Even if we adjust the £75,000 cap for inflation (it is based on 2017 price levels), that still leaves it at £61,000 - £11,000 higher than Dilnot's recommended maximum. Interviewed on the Today programme this morning, Dilnot said that he regretted the coalition's decision to opt for a £75,000 cap but recognised that "the public finances are in a pretty tricky state". By capping costs for the first time, the plan would still "radically reduce anxiety", he argued. But others have been less generous. Labour has pointed out that since it will take the average person around four years before they reach the cap, it will not benefit the majority of patients, most of whom don't make it this far. Dot Gibson, the general secretary of the National Pensioners Convention, estimates that the proposals will help "just 10 per cent of those needing care". Labour is currently developing its own social care plan as part of its policy review but is likely to recommend a cap no greater than £50,000. The government's hope is that a cap of £75,000 will encourage insurers to offer policies to cover costs below this amount. As Hunt said on The Andrew Marr Show yesterday, "We don't want anyone to pay anything at all. By setting an upper limit to how much people have to pay, then it makes it possible for insurance companies to offer policies for people to have options on their pensions so that anything you pay under the cap is covered." But Labour is highlighting the fact that Nick Starling, the director of general insurance and health at the Association of British Insurers, has previously dismissed this as wishful thinking. He told the health select committee in November 2011: "I do not think there will be pre-funded products. That is unlikely. I speak on behalf of the insurance industry, but I bring independence in the sense that, except for the immediate needs annuities which [Chris] Mr Horlick [of Care Partnership Assurance] provides, there are no products out there. I am not grinding a particular axe about particular forms of products. I am saying that, in a sense, we have a chance to think in quite an open way, unencumbered by a whole forest of products already out there. In that sense, the thinking we have been doing on this is independent." A cap on costs is, as Dilnot suggested, better than no cap at all. But unless Hunt springs a surprise on MPs today, it is already clear that this will not be a lasting solution to the care problem. For that, one suspects, we will have to wait for a change of government. › Were two private equity buyouts the real cause of the horse meat scandal?

Chalkboard paint has exploded into the party-planning arena. It's incredibly easy to work with and can be used in so many different ways that it's become one of the staple tools of party planners and hostesses all over.
From personalized partyware to clever decor, we've gotten creative with chalkboard paint in a number of ways, but the possibilities are endless with how you can use it. Take a peek at the top 10 easy and creative ways we're using chalkboard paint at our parties.
Get some chalkboard paint of your own and get crafting!
We turned a piece of wood we had into a big party sign with some leftover molding and lots of chalkboard paint. This crafty party idea is great because you can use the sign over and over and in so many different ways.
Chalkboard paint turns used wine bottles into table markers with just a single coat. Customize with table numbers or even write special messages for your party on them.
Turn old containers like paint cans into clever centerpieces you can customize to fit the occasion. We filled our chalkboard centerpiece with pretty DIY paper flowers to go along with our theme.
This nifty chalkboard party idea is great for serving trays. You can label foods to let guests know what the options are or even give a head's up should someone have an allergy. In its simplest form, this craft idea adds a touch of fun to any display.
Dip the bases your wine glasses into a can of chalkboard paint. Not only will they replace the charms you use to keep track what glass belongs to who, they'll do double duty to tell you what they're drinking, too! You easily use these as place card settings, too.
We've shown you a few simple ways to use chalkboard paint with wine tastings or dinner parties, but check this complete table runner out from Rock Your Party! What a neat way to tell guests what to taste with what.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Merit raises for teachers, across the board pay increases for state employees, and changes to the Florida Pension Plan are all part of the new House budget proposal.
The budget deepens the divide between Florida's House speaker and the governor.
Education is the big winner in the budget proposal released by the Florida House on Friday.
House Speaker Will Weatherford wants to spend more than $1 billion on education, with money set aside for teacher pay raises.
"If we are going to increase funding for teachers, we believe merit pay should be part of it," he said. "We should be rewarding our wonderful teachers who've gone the extra mile."
Gov. Rick Scott is also proposing teacher pay raises, but Scott wants a $2,500-across-the-board increase. Raises aren't the only area where Scott and Weatherford differ.
The House budget also leaves out money available through the Medicaid expansion. Scott wants the cash, but he can't claim it as long as the House is standing in his way.
The Senate has devised a plan to allow the state to accept the money to insure people through the private sector. Advocates for expansion want the House to fall in line.
"If Florida doesn't find a way to accept these federal funds, it will be in a competitively disadvantaged position," University of Florida researcher Alan Hodges said.
Part of the House budget also relies on money gained from closing the state pension plan to new employees. Unions are crying foul.
"I think this is the breaking point for us. Enough is enough," Joanne McCall said.
But it's not all bad for state workers. The House budget includes a $1,400-across-the-board pay raise for all state employees.
House Minority Leader Perry Thurston released this statement about the budget proposal:
"While increases in education funding, restoration of prior-year university system cuts, and pay increases for hard-working state employees and school teachers are important goals that we hope Florida's new budget will achieve, there also is a crisis of uninsured Floridians that demands legislative attention this session."

THE leader of Bournemouth council says the authority's "robust" methods of dealing with unauthorised traveller camps is working, despite a central town car park having to be shut at the weekend.
The Bath Road South car park was closed to the public, with security guards at the entrance, after three travellers' vehicles arrived at around 10.20am on Saturday.
The closure was to prevent other vehicles arriving, but by yesterday morning only one motorhome remained and the car park was reopened.
But it meant that one of the most-used car parks in town was closed on a busy, warm Saturday.
Other sites in the borough were also locked down as it became clear that more vehicles could be on their way.
Council leader John Beesley said yesterday it was unfortunate that residents and visitors to the town had been temporarily inconvenienced, but stressed that the authority's "robust" policy for dealing with incursions has been successful.
"We will be taking court action first thing on Monday morning provided they are still there," he said.
"Whenever we get incursions we use extremely close surveillance and experience shows they tend to move on fairly quickly as a result.
"Our strategy for dealing with travellers, since we put extra resources in three years ago, has been hugely successful and we have a very effective intelligence network.
"Our team has applied the strategy consistently and it has served the town very well, as I think it has on this occasion."
Security was also set up at other public sites around the borough, including Kings Park, to prevent travellers from gaining access.
Dorset Police were called at 10.18am on Saturday when the three vehicles were first spotted entering the car park.
A spokesman said the council had closed off access and officers then left the scene.
On Friday, three motor homes made camp on the cliff top behind the Bournemouth International Centre, gaining access to the private road because of an insecure barrier.
One of that group told the Daily Echo that they planned to continue on to Devon.
The council said it had begun the legal process to remove them.
Due to the nature of the comments on this story, the facility has now been closed.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/8/2012 (1822 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
On the witty new HBO television series Veep, Julia Louis-Dreyfus -- in a more mature and biting version of her Elaine character on Seinfeld -- stars as U.S. Vice-President Selina Meyer, who is in constant search of a job.
In almost every show, her most frequent question to her secretary is "Did the president call?" And the response is always the same: "No!"
Disgruntled by her lack of power, she is forced to cut ribbons and visit senior homes and daycares. In one episode, there is great excitement when she is told the president might have had a heart attack.
She responds to this news like Seinfeld's George, who when told of his fiancée Susan's death from licking toxic envelopes, showed "restrained jubilation." For a few hours, Selina is giddy with delight as she contemplates the future. Alas, it turns out the president was only suffering from heartburn.
Nearly all of the 47 men who have served as U.S. vice-president would no doubt sympathize with Selina's ordeal. The first vice-president under George Washington was John Adams, who described his position as "the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived.
Or put a bit less subtly by John Nance Garner, who served for two terms as vice-president with Franklin Roosevelt: The vice-presidency "isn't worth a pitcher of warm piss."
In a 1948 interview, Garner described the office as "almost wholly unimportant," and some years after that declared being vice president "was the worst thing that ever happened to me."
From the daily barrage of news and television stories, media profiles and opinion pieces, you would think Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney's young, photogenic choice as his vice-presidential running mate, is the man who will seal the deal for Romney, as asserted by Prof. Peter Morici (Ryan could put Romney in the White House, Aug. 14).
Morici and other commentators have highlighted Ryan's reputation as the "intellectual leader" of the Republican Party. Ryan has made his mark in Washington by advocating a Tea Party agenda that includes extensive cuts to government spending on medical aid to the poor and social security as well as slashing taxes. A devout Catholic, he is also an outspoken opponent of abortion.
At the same time, definitely unlike the 2008 VP candidate Sarah Palin, Ryan is saleable and credible as a potential future president, the main function of a vice-president. He has enlivened the conservative base of the Republican Party, brought in even more money for Romney and created a more definite right-left division with the Democrats. An articulate speaker, he will easily handle himself in his debate with Vice-President Joe Biden.
Yet the most telling remark was Romney's correction of who was calling the shots. Ryan suggested if he and Romney are elected his Tea Party-endorsed budget will be implemented. Romney quickly countered that idea. "I have my budget plan," he said. "And that's the budget plan we're going to run on."
It is questionable as to why there is such a fuss about Ryan or any other vice-presidential nominee (though again understandable in Palin's case given her complete lack of preparedness for that job, let alone the presidency). The historical record shows decisively a vice-president's power has been generally limited and dependent on the whim of his presidential boss.
The worst case might be John Breckenridge, who was vice-president in the late 1850s. He was not able to make an appointment to see President James Buchanan for more than three years. Similarly, given little to do by President Ulysses Grant, Henry Wilson used his time in office to complete a three-volume history of American slavery.
The job is hardly a stepping-stone to the presidency. Very few vice-presidents have gone on to become president; the last one to achieve this was George H.W. Bush in the 1980s.
Lyndon Johnson, who became president after the assassination of John F. Kennedy -- one of four vice-presidents to attain the office this way -- was subjected to a typical vice-presidential experience. He was a seasoned senator from Texas when JFK asked him to be his running mate for the 1960 election, mainly because JFK thought Johnson would be useful in winning Texas and other southern states, which he was.
Johnson, in turn, believed he could buck the trend and have real influence over Kennedy's policies. That proved to be a gross miscalculation as Johnson was immediately shunted aside and was forced to endure three years of virtual powerlessness until JFK was killed. He never forgave Robert Kennedy, JFK's most trusted adviser, for being the principal architect of this perceived humiliation.
Still there have been a few notable exceptions to this rule. Jimmy Carter utilized Walter Mondale as a chief adviser and foreign affairs policy advocate, while Bill Clinton ensured Al Gore had a significant role in his White House. And, of all the vice-presidents, Dick Cheney was truly the king, wielding an enormous influence on George W. Bush's presidency. Among other things, he directed that suspected terrorists be subjected to waterboarding and successfully pushed for an attack on Iraq.
For the most part, there is a truism about an American election campaign articulated by an aide to Hubert Humphrey, who was vice-president under Johnson. "Once the election is over," he said, "the vice-president's usefulness is over. He's like the second stage of a rocket. He's damn important going into orbit, but he's always thrown off to burn up in the atmosphere."
Some political observers believe in the event of a Romney victory, Ryan will be a vice-president more like Cheney than LBJ -- that despite Romney's claim to the contrary, Ryan will indeed influence policy in a Romney administration.
From Romney's point of view, the media attention on Ryan for the next few months is bound to boost support from American conservatives who wondered about Romney's commitment to their cause.
"Let's win the election first," you can almost hear Romney telling Ryan, "and then we'll see about your role."
Now & Then is a column in which historian Allan Levine puts the events of today in an historical context.

Ben Hartman, Tel Aviv reporter for the Jerusalem Post of Israel, said the majority of people in Israel is against an apology to Turkey. However in case Israelis faced the question, "Would you agree to apologize not to lose the friendship of Turkey?", I do not think that you would find many Israelis who would say, "No".

All About Appendicitis
Appendicitis is a painful medical condition in which the appendix becomes inflamed and filled with pus, a fluid made up of dead cells that often results from an infection.
Appendicitis is the leading cause of emergency abdominal operations in the United States, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
The appendix is a small, finger-shaped pouch attached to your large intestine on the lower right side of your abdomen.
It's not entirely clear what role the appendix plays in the body, but some research suggests that it isn't the useless organ it was once thought to be.
Though people can live perfectly normal lives without their appendix, inflammation of this abdominal organ can be a serious, life-threatening condition.
If not treated promptly, appendicitis may cause the appendix to burst, spreading an infection throughout the abdomen.
When people discuss appendicitis, they're typically referring to acute appendicitis, which is marked by a sharp abdominal pain that quickly spreads and worsens over a matter of hours.
In some cases, however, people may develop chronic appendicitis, which causes mild, recurrent abdominal pain that often subsides on its own — these patients usually don't realize they have appendicitis until an acute episode strikes.
Prevalence and Risk Factors for Appendicitis
Acute appendicitis now affects about 9 in 10,000 people each year in the United States (roughly 300,000 people annually) — this prevalence is higher than it was just 20 years ago, according to a 2012 report from the Journal of Surgical Research.
People of any age can get the condition, though appendicitis is most common among children and teenagers between 10 and 19 years old, according to the 2012 report.
It affects males more often than females, but scientists have yet to identify why this is the case.
Appendicitis is more common in Western societies, and may be more common in urban industrialized areas, compared with rural communities.
The typical "Western diet" that's low in fiber and high in carbohydrates is thought to be behind this pattern.
It also appears that having a family history of appendicitis increases the risk of getting the condition for both children and adults.
The NIH estimates that almost 400 people die in the United States each year from appendicitis.
Causes of Appendicitis
It's not always clear what causes appendicitis, but the condition often arises from one of two issues: A gastrointestinal infection that has spread to the appendix, or an obstruction that blocks the opening of the appendix.
In the second case, there are several different sources of blockage. These include:
Lymph tissue in the wall of the appendix that has become enlarged
Hardened stool, parasites, or growths
Irritation and ulcers in the gastrointestinal tract
Abdominal injury or trauma
Foreign objects, such as pins or bullets
When a person's appendix becomes infected or obstructed, bacteria inside the organ multiply rapidly. This bacterial takeover causes the appendix to become infected and swollen with pus.
Symptoms of Appendicitis
At the onset of appendicitis, people often feel an aching pain that begins around the belly button, and slowly creeps over to the lower right abdomen.
The pain sharpens over several hours, and can spike during movement, deep breaths, coughing, and sneezing. Other symptoms of appendicitis may follow, including:
Constipation or diarrhea
Inability to pass gas
Loss of appetite
Abdominal swelling
Diagnosing Appendicitis
Because the symptoms of appendicitis are very similar to other conditions, including Crohn's disease, urinary tract infections (UTI), gynecologic disorders, and gastritis, diagnosing appendicitis is no simple matter.
After learning about a patient's medical history and recent pattern of symptoms, doctors will use a number of tests to help them diagnose appendicitis.
They may:
Conduct an abdominal exam to assess pain and detect inflammation
Take a blood test to determine white blood cell counts, which could indicate an infection
Order a urine test to rule out urinary tract infection and kidney stones
Perform a bimanual (two-handed) gynecologic exam in women
Use imaging tests, including computerized tomography (CT) scans, abdominal X-rays, ultrasounds, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to confirm the appendicitis diagnosis or find other causes of abdominal pain
Treating Appendicitis
In rare cases, doctors will treat appendicitis with antibiotics, but the infection needs to be very mild.
Most often, appendicitis is considered a medical emergency, and doctors treat the condition with an appendectomy, the surgical removal of the appendix.
Surgeons will remove the appendix using one of two methods: open or laparoscopic surgery.
An open appendectomy requires a single incision in the appendix region (the lower right area of the abdomen).
During laparoscopic surgery, on the other hand, surgeons feed special surgical tools into several smaller incisions — this option is believed to have fewer complications and a shorter recovery time.
If a person's appendix isn't treated in time, it may burst and spread the infection throughout the abdomen, leading to a life-threatening condition called peritonitis, an infection of the peritoneum (the lining of the gut).
In other cases, abscesses may form on the burst appendix.
In both these cases, surgeons will usually drain the abdomen or abscess of pus and treat the infection with antibiotics before removing the appendix.

DENVER – Viktor Fasth conquered his native Sweden the last two years and the Ducks were eager to get him to this continent and give themselves a backup goalie they could count on.
Forget about being a reliable backup. Fasth might be set on taking over the NHL.
Fasth stopped 31 shots for his fourth victory in as many starts and collected his first shutout Wednesday night as the Ducks defeated the Colorado Avalanche, 3-0, at Pepsi Center.
The Ducks (7-1-1) won their fourth in a row to start their six-game trip in style. Fasth, 30, became the first NHL goalie to win his first four games since Nolan Schaefer did it for San Jose in 2005.
Fasth again gave credit to the "guys battling in front of me."
"They make it much easier for me to play back there," he said. "I'm really enjoying playing for these guys. They're incredible in front of me."
Sheldon Souray gave Fasth the only margin he would need by scoring in his third consecutive game. Saku Koivu also added a first-period goal and Francois Beauchemin celebrated his 500th career game by ripping in a one-timer in the second.
Souray and Beauchemin have emerged as the Ducks' shutdown pair on defense while also combining for six goals and a plus-13 in the first nine games.
"It's always a plus," Beauchemin said of the goals. "Shelly's got obviously one of the hardest shots in the league. We're playing well together."
Fasth's strong work earned him consecutive starts for the first time. Jonas Hiller figures to play when the Ducks have two sets of games on back-to-back nights upcoming but the Swede looks as if he is not ready to give up the net.
The decision on who to play is becoming harder for Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau. Or easier.
"He's not making it neither," Boudreau said. "He's giving me confidence that I never knew I would have in him."

About this font family
Germania is a Sans font based on classic roman proportions and forms based on my Imperia font. But I added that distinct, rigid, no-nonsense German touch. This monoline font with its classic proportions and personality is good for lots of occasions. And – I designed three »real« italic typefaces – not just slanting the straight ones. I corrected the stroke thicknesses and changed the lowercase a, e, f, g and q. I put in a collection of very interesting uppercase ligatures for free.

A9 TV; September 7th, 2011
Our Prophet (saas) may also have minor mistakes. It is not true to say that our Prophet (saas) never made any minor mistakes. This is related in the Qur'an. Many prophets made mistakes. When a blind man came to our Prophet (saas), he might have not conversed with him because he, with his personal conviction, considered many other people needed more attention but Allah corrects this through revelation and He says that "This is a mistake." This could also be the case, but this does not lower our Prophet's (saas) status. Our Prophet (saas) is blessed, honorable and pure. But he is also human; he is a prophet but he is also human. Prophets may make mistakes and one needs to see them in a reasonable way, insha'Allah. My dear grandfather, my dearest Prophet (saas) always wanted to do the best of everything. But he was human; he might have made some minor mistakes. This does not eliminate his beautiful status. Prophet Adam (as), for instance, committed what Allah commanded him not to do. This is a mistake of a prophet. He is a prophet of the Paradise, and this does not degrade his honor.
A Muslim needs to be clean, very very clean. His soul, body, clothes, house, all has to be clean. But not an ordinary cleanliness; it has to be deeply clean, insha'Allah and has a beautiful scent. When one fasts, feels exhausted, etc. he must always keep that purity, courtesy and happiness. We have some brothers, for instance, they fast but what a shame! Allah has granted water, and many other opportunities, right? The mouth of a Muslim smells like flower, his hands and face shine like light, right? Take a decent shower, clean your mouth, rinse it out frequently. Allah has provided you with many opportunities.
(Regarding the comment of His Highness Sheikh Nazim al-Qibrisi stating that Mr. Adnan Oktar must have more girl friends around him)
What a sweet person! He [ His Highness Sheikh Nazim al-Qibrisi ] repeated it three times. He asked if there are ladies among his circle of friends. He said that I should always have ladies as followers, insha'Allah. He said, "Ladies are more blessed. They are more precious, have more faith." He made such a beautiful speech. Women are really very blessed and pure beings. They open one's heart, and give relief as if looking at a flower. Sweet and beautiful. That is why the impact of women is much more profound. Once she believes, she believes deeply and never leaves it again. A woman has faith unto death. This is not the case with men. For instance, men are not so resolute, they can not remain patient. But women are very forbearing; they persevere. Their loyalty are very intense. They are tremendously loyal. Muslim women are not fond of being out of their homes. They like being at home. They like to read books, to educate themselves, to exercise. They take more pleasure from being at home. Being joyful, speaking. Of course this does not mean that they never go out; they do but they take more pleasure from being at home. This is how Allah created their nature. There is sign in this. But the food of a woman is love. She opens up with love. As you present your love, she opens up like a flower. She feels relief, love beautifies her. Once you don't give love to her, that beautiful being fades away, withers. May Allah forbid, you may kill her. She turns into something else, may Allah forbid. Love of Allah, the love of people that stems from love of Allah. This is the medicine of women. She does not care if she does not eat or drink but she definitely wants love. It is her food. The absence of food does not make any difference, but without love she cannot live.
In response to the question: "How should we asses verses regarding cutting off of hands or whipping?"
These are verses of deterrent nature. At that time, during the time of our Prophet (saas) nobody committed theft. Nobody. Whose hand was cut? It is very, very, very rare. May be one, two or three cases, at most, insha'Allah. Whipping was also very very rare. They are deterrent verses; they are intended to humiliate. On the other hand, if a Muslim is in need, he says so and gets whatever he wants. For instance he says, "What a nice vase." The other Muslim says, "Just take it my brother. You may have it." Muslims do not have such greed. What will be stolen? There is no milieu for that. In the time of our Prophet (saas) and Hazrat Mahdi (as), wealth will flow like rivers. Why would one go and steal? If he is mad, then it is something else. He is treated then. A sick person is not subject to penalty. If he needs, he can simply take what he needs. What exists out there that a Muslim can not reach? Food, clothes, anything…There is nothing a Muslim would not get. When a Muslim wants properties, he gets it. This is also the same in Islam. If someone has coveted something, you must say, "Here it is yours." This is how it should be. No one would ever be in need or hungry. Why would theft be? This is a provision that is intended to deter people, and it is not a penalty that is implemented practically. The same thing holds true for whipping. Is it ever possible that four people can witness adultery at the same time? Allah commands in the Qur'an, "Do not enter homes from windows." You can not enter secretly. He has to knock the door. The man will come to open the door in his clothes and ask, "What is it?" This being the case, how would those four people altogether witness the state of fornication and whip them? These are the verses that degrade, deter and threaten. Think of a child coveting some kind of food or a toy. You immediately buy it and give it to the child. How nice is Islam! You make him happy right at that moment.
(In response to the question, "Will Prophet Jesus (as) have disciples as in the past?")
Yes, Prophet Jesus (as) will have distinguished disciples, but it is not that his old disciples will be given souls and come back to life. His disciples have passed away. Prophet Jesus (as) did not pass away. He was taken to the Sight of Allah. He was taken to a different level with his body and soul. We are not talking of a millimeter when we speak of "dimension". Not something a hundred thousandth or millionth of a millimeter. "Dimension" is something different. We are intertwined. He comes from that dimension to the Earth. Looking at his apparel, people will be surprised and ask, "Who are you?" He speaks Aramaic. Then they will say, "A person who has lost his memory then." Then, looking at this face, they will understand and say, "He might be Prophet Jesus (as)." His wisdom, style, intelligence, manner of speaking….He learns foreign languages in a very short span of time. English, Turkish…He will speak many languages. He memorizes the Qur'an after reading It once. This is no exaggeration. He reads the Qur'an once but commits it to his memory. He will also know the Gospel and Torah. Insha'Allah. Those who are close to him will say, "Allah knows the truth that is him." He eats, converses, sleeps. He becomes sick; he catches the flu. But people will see that he always has accomplishments; he calls the Christian world to Islam, and he really succeeds in it. So people will say, "Allah knows the truth he is him."
So is Hazrat Mahdi (as). Hazrat Mahdi (as) will gradually develop. The team of satan will say, " He has been supported by freemasons, Jews and Zionists. America and Russia have provided support. And they have connection with China; that is, everything is planned and they had room for it. Communism has already been crushed, there was an economic crisis. They went over Muslims and oppressed them so this Arab spring was organized. Ultimately they transformed it into the spring of Hazrat Mahdi (as)." This will be the mindset of the satan's proponents. Muslims, on the other hand say, "Masha'Allah, Allah knows the truth, he is Hazrat Mahdi (as). Notice that the satan's proponents will say that everyone including George Bush, Putin etc. are all included so it would be better not to oppose to him and approve whatever he does." That is because Hazrat Mahdi (as) will act in compliance with the Qur'an. They can also not object. He will gather all the ulamas and scholars and gather together a committee. That is to say, Hazrat Mahdi (as) will bring together a big committee of scholars. This being the case, they can not object. How can they dare to object? Meanwhile, the ulama does not act contrary to Hazrat Mahdi's (as) judgment. They will say, "May Allah be pleased with you" and approve his words. If there are some technical errors, they can warn them as, "In Arabic that word has such a meaning." That is because Hazrat Mahdi (as) does not know Arabic. Bediuzzaman says that ulama will support. In brief, before the very eyes of the world, the system of Hazrat Mahdi (as) will come about with all its glory; you will witness this.
You may live without love, but I cannot. May Allah forbid, I would die without love. Love is my soul. I am in love with Allah. I am madly in love with Allah. The source of this mad love is the love of Allah, insha'Allah. Look at my life and then at yours. All my life wasspent in prisons, police stations, mental hospitals. Could have they ever deterred me even a little bit? I have been threatened hundreds of times. When I came to Istanbul, they fired seven bullets on me. In no way have I given up. Would I ever give up? Never. Every day my crazy love increases even more. My exuberance increases even more. I came here with an hour's sleep yesterday. The day before I slept three hours. There is no time. We have so much work to do, masha'Allah.
Allah reveals the character of Prophet Solomon (as). He does not step on an ant. He smiles when he sees the ants and makes jokes to them. He and his army stands until the ants pass by. He can not dare to do harm to even ants. He is so gentle, affectionate and compassionate. He is a man of compassion. Allah especially stresses this. The female ant says, "Be careful, Prophet Solomon (as) comes" and Prophet Solomon (as) smiles at it. He hears the ant's speech. From this we understand that animals have a particular language. If a person uses the unused parts of his brain, that means that we can also hear the speeches of animals.
Once Allah makes something haram (unlawful), it is auspicious, insha'Allah. For instance Allah makes adultery haram. Otherwise you can not take pleasure from a woman. You simply die; Allah takes away your potency. It kills obsession and love. A woman turns into flesh and bones. She becomes devastated, may Allah forbid.In fornication, the woman turns into a wall. A man who does not commit adultery feels tremendous desire, love and obsession towards the woman. Towards the lawful wife, Allah gives a special power.That is why, our Prophet (saas)and all the other prophets are verypotent. One has an inconceivable love and obsession towards women. This is not pure lust. There is also lust, but ninety nine percent of it is the love of Allah, insha'Allah.
For instance gambling is unlawful. He who gambles always loses. He always feels sorry because he takes all the money of his friend. What happens? They simply become enemies to one another. Allah says, "There will be enmity between you." Allah bans drinking, gambling, fortune-telling. There is a blessing and beauty in these. Then continues friendship. You take all his money and possessions. Then he feels rage, hatred. The one whose money is taken feels degraded, humiliated, right? Better to earn money through lawful means, right? They lose at all times. They lose the money they are supposed to spend on his kids. Alternatively, they invest all their money into drinking. When these are eliminated, life becomes beautiful insha'Allah.
In 2012, the system of Hazrat Mahdi (as) will proceed to an ideological attack. It will be more vivid, more active. And Allah will manifest on Earth with His name "Al-Hadi." People will no longer fall into error. Faith will be constantly on the rise. This is what will happen. Allah will be remembered everywhere. There will be mention of Hazrat Mahdi (as) and Prophet Jesus (as). There will be an expansion in people's minds . The spell on people will be broken. That hypnosis will be lifted. These are the events. How would dajjal grasp the world? What else will dajjal do? 99 percent of the world is irreligious. People will see dajjal coming, but they will still say, "We are awaiting dajjal." Dajjal will already shed blood. The blood of more than one billion people has already been spilled. Is one billion a small figure? 99 percent of people have turned out to be irreligious. Consequently ,dajjal has already carried out its task. The time is the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as). Insha'Allah.2011-10-16 21:06:30

Chapter 6
Too Little, Too Late
I walked into the kitchen, if felt like something weird was going on. My family... yes, my family, was sat around the table, serving up dinner, and there was a spare plate for me. A frown spread across my forehead, as I gave them a skeptical look. The last time we all ate a meal together at the kitchen table, was when my grandmother died.
I cautiously sat down at the table, wondering what was up. There had to be something going on, because it was like stepping into a alternate reality.
"Here, Cody, I got you a present," Mum said, as she handed me something wrapped in brown paper.
I unwrapped the paper, to find a new pair of studded bracelets. I looked up at Mum completely surprised, she hadn't gotten me anything that I actually liked in years.
"What is this for?" I asked, holding the bracelets like they was a ticking time bomb.
"We wasn't much of a family in Napa, so I think we should start acting like one now," Mum said, as she started piling some potatoes on my plate. "New house, new start."
"The bracelets was my idea, because you broke one on my face this morning," Tori added, in a uniquely Tori way. He said something almost nice, and grassed me up at the same time.
The meal was barely tolerable, because it was all so false. At one point Dad actually got up to fetch his own beer, which I just had to make a sarcastic dig about. To be honest, I just wish they'd just drop the act, and be themselves. As soon as the meal was over, I put on my new bracelets on, and dumped my old ones in my room. I took a walk around the neighbourhood, which was probably a stupid idea, considering that I nearly got murdered last night.
I didn't even get lectured, when I went home at nearly midnight, but it just didn't feel right. I walked upstairs to my room, then sat down on a chair in front of my bedroom window. It made me wonder what kind of dumbass was trying to screw with me, and I hoped that this would all be a dream or some kind of weird fantasy. Yeah, that's it, when I stepped out of the diner, and something hit me on the head, it knocked me out, and I'm going to wake up in hospital any minute.
But, I didn't wake up in hospital the next morning, I woke up in the same chair. I got changed, I wasn't much of a mood to actually pick out something, so I just wore black combat pants, and my long sleeve black top, all with my regular slip on sneakers.
I didn't even bother eating anything for breakfast, I figured I'd get something on the way to school. There was actually a bakery a couple of streets away from the house, so I got myself a bagel, with cream cheese. As I walked out of the shop, taking a bit out of the bagel, I noticed that the building across the street, was the one I had climbed up with Nayte the other night.
I was tempted to walk down the alleyway at the back, but I didn't. The dumbasses was probably still there, and try to kill me again. Or there could be some kind of freak animal down there, to maul me or something. I'd rather frickin' eat breakfast, than be breakfast, thank you very much dumbass.
I carried on my walk to school, when I got to school car park, I remembered that I hadn't done my homework. Ah well, they can't expect me to do it, considering that this would be my third day at this frickin' school.
"Morning Cody!" Katie said, as I walked into chemistry class.
"Do you have to be so peppy in the morning?" I snapped, as I dumped my bag on the workbench.
"Just because you're not a morning person, no need to bring us all down!" Katie replied, with even more pep than before.
It was just my frickin' luck, that she had to be in all my classes. I rested my arms on the desk, then rested my head on my arms.
"It's prom in a month, and I still don't have a dress," Katie said, with a slight glum edge, but she still sounded peppy to me.
"Who cares!" I said, dripping with a tone of complete boredom.
"Well, you should care, and I totally need to buy a dress, but they all like totally suck at the clothes store here," Katie continued.
She continued to talk on and on about the stupid dress, that she was just dying to buy, for twenty minutes. For the first time, I was actually glad when chem class actually started, just so she would shut up. But, she didn't, as soon as we started working on our class projects, she started talking again.
"Hey, Cody, come to Seattle with me, and we could shop for combat pants, and punk stuff, if you want to..." she suggested.
I couldn't be bothered to refuse any more, because every time I hoped she'd shut up, she didn't, she just carried on talking.
"You know what, Katie, why not. I got absolutely frickin' nothing to do," I replied, hoping she would shut up about it.
No such luck, she just talked more about all the best stores that we could go to, and where the best cafes where, that we could eat at. I actually wished that those freak dumbasses had killed me in that alley, so I didn't have to put up with this boring crap.

Why We Love Fennelby Toby Amidor in In Season, June 30, 2011
Show some love to this under-appreciated veggie from the parsley family. Don't be turned off by its licorice-like flavor. When prepared right, it's easy to love.
Fennel Facts
The Puritans used to chew on fennel during long church services and came to be known as the "meeting seed" for this reason. Fennel is composed of a bulb which is white or pale green in color, with stalks topped with green feathery leaves called fronds. Each part of the plant is edible – though the texture varies (the bulb is crisp while the fronds are delicate and tender with a stronger flavor) Raw fennel is slightly sweet with and resembles the taste of anise (or licorice). Knowing how to compliment the delicate flavor of this veggie will unlock its goodness.
Nutrition Info
A cup of sliced fennel contains 27 calories, 3 grams of fiber and is a good source of vitamin C and potassium. It also contains a nice amount of folate and the phytochemicals anethole, shown to help reduce inflammation, aid with digestion and may also help prevent cancer.
Fun Ideas
Pair up fennel with flavors like mandarin oranges, pears, grapefruit, arugula or tomatoes to help mellow its licorice taste. Thinly sliced fennel gives salads a yummy crunch without overpowering the dish.
Another way to reduce the anise-like flavor is to cook it. Roasting or braising brings out the natural nutty sweetness and the anise flavor melts away. Cook it with seafood like shrimp, cod or striped bass. Combine fennel with thyme, oregano, olive oil, salt and pepper for a delicious marinade for veggies or seafood.
Recipes to try:
- Orange Braised Fennel
- Spicy Fennel Shrimp
- Cod with Fennel, Dill and Tomatoes
- Tomato Fennel Salad
- Arugula and Fennel Salad
- Robin's Fennel Salad

A9 TV; 7 November 2011
There are no such things as aliens. There are djinns. One will only be in contact with them. As in the time of the Prophet Solomon (pbuh). The djinn will serve man, in other words.
Magic is done with satan. It is something obtained with magnetism and hypnosis. The dajjal (antichrist) gets djinns involved, and the djinns have an effect. That is also in the hadiths; "he (dajjal) will spread djinns around and say to them "tell people I am divine"." He says that he spreads reports to the whole world using djinns. Muslims djinns are very rare. They are under the control of the dajjal. Satans are also under his control. And you see them in human form. They also hypnotize Muslims.2012-10-31 12:01:49

ORLANDO - A controversy with the Catholic Diocese of Orlando and Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings is brewing this election season.
Local 6 got a hold of a blistering letter sent by the Bishop of the Diocese to Sheriff Demings.
In the letter, Bishop John Noonan, accused Sheriff Demings of visiting St. John Vianney Catholic Church, "for no apparent reason than your own political motivation."
The sheriff arrived for mass at the church, in a pro-Obama bus on October 7 with Orange County School Board member Kathleen Gordon and members of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades.
"If this is true, you disrespected the Lord's house," wrote Noonan. "You owe an apology to the parishioners...you owe an apology to the Lord."
In a letter to the Bishop, Sheriff Demings defended his actions, saying the group asked for permission and "heard no opposition."
During mass, when visitors were asked to introduce themselves Demings said, "I only stated my name and office without any reference to political candidacy."
But the sheriff admits members of the painters union brought up the Obama-Biden campaign during their introduction.
"I understand how some of your parishioners may have viewed the visit," Demings wrote. "For that, I am sorry."
It is unclear if Bishop Noonan sent similar letters to Orange County School Board member Kathleen Gordon or the painter's union. Local 6 made several calls to the Orlando Diocese, but they have not returned our calls.
In a phone conversation, Sheriff Demings told Local 6, his Republican rival John Tegg, may be trying to make this a political issue. He also told Local 6, the whole thing is a misunderstanding and the Bishop may have been misinformed about what really happened.
Local 6 also learned from FDLE officials that they are looking into complaints Sheriff Demings under reported the number of crimes. They said they received the complaint Tuesday.
While FDLE wouldn't say who filed the complaint, just last week Tegg claimed newly released records proved Demings and others at the sheriff's office falsified crime reports to make it seem like the county had a lower crime rate.
Sheriff Demings maintains the allegations are totally false., and that the FDLE already reviewed the issue once and confirmed the sheriff's office did nothing wrong.

London • Brad Pitt has joined Angelina Jolie at a London summit on sexual violence, lending the couple's star power to the campaign to end rape in war zones.
The four-day London conference is organized by British Foreign Secretary William Hague and Jolie, a United Nations special envoy.
They hope representatives of the more than 100 countries present will back a new protocol laying out how sexual violence in conflict zones should be investigated and prosecuted. They say they want to end the "culture of impunity" for wartime sex crimes.

HOUSTON - One look at Cyrus Reed's Facebook page and it's obvious firefighting is his passion.
The one-time Houston resident graduated from Elsik High School in 2003 and people who know him tell Local 2 he moved to Central Texas to fight fires.
Reed is one of many first responders still unaccounted for. The news has hit the Elsik High School community especially hard.
Many of the teachers who taught Reed ten years ago are still teaching there. Even current students, who have never met Reed, are upset.
"I would have never thought anybody close to this school would be all the way over there," said Lucia Aremus, an Elsik High School senior. "Just shows you how small the world is."
People in the southwest Houston neighborhood said the Reed family still lives in the house where Cyrus grew up, but that they left for West as soon as they heard the news Wednesday night.
Everyone is hoping for the best but fearing the worst.
"I think we need to do everything we can to pray as hard as we can," said Jensie Lawson. "Because at this time we need to all link together as one."
