Following a meteor shower of hype, the new "Star Wars" movie, "The Phantom Menace," has made its debut in theaters across the U.S. Thousands of fans stood on long lines to see the highly anticipated prequel Tuesday night, reports CBS News correspondent Bobbi Harley, who joined the vigil outside the Ziegfeld Theater in New York City.
The crowds that went into the theater at 6:30 a.m. were behind hundreds of others who started seeing the movie just after midnight. It was rainy and misty, but despite the bad weather and the long lines, those who have seen the movie say it is worth the wait.
For the very first showing, at midnight, more than 1,000 moviegoers lined up outside the Ziegfeld.
"If you're here at opening night, you're part of history," said one fan.
"It is something that everyone can get into, good versus evil. It is just the whole saga," said a fan who was dressed up like Darth Maul, the newest "Star Wars" villain.
Those lucky enough to get their hands on some tickets showed off their prize possessions as they streamed into the theater. Once inside, fans couldn't contain their excitement, which goes to show that, so far, the hype is winning out over mixed reviews.
"The Phantom Menace" is expected to earn more than $100 million by Sunday. Then again, we are talking about a movie already considered one of the biggest films of all time even before it made one dime at the box office.
"I think the hype will last for at least 10 or 12 weeks. We'll be playing this right into the summer," estimates Bud Mayo, president of Clearview Cinemas.
But the big question: How is the movie?
"I think it was great, and I have tickets for 12:00 and another one at 8:00 tomorrow, and I'm going to see it twice," said a starry-eyed fan.
Another chimed in, "I want to know what happens next, you know? I'm ready for the next episode."
But, for that, we have to wait till 2002, when the next "Star Wars" installment is due.
The professional reviews, which dribbled out early and flooded in Tuesday, have been, with some notable exceptions, somewhere between negative and vicious.
The harshest had to be The New Yorker's Anthony Lane who likened "The Phantom Menace" to excrement.
More typical was Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times, who called "The Phantom Menace" a "considerable letdown," a "ponderous and plodding" film that is "noticeably lacking in warmth and humor."
Those who liked film focused on the visual spectacle, and it did have its supporters. Roger Ebert, perhaps the nation's most famous critic, wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times that the movie was "an astonishing achievement in imaginative filmmaking."
Produced, directed and written by Lucas, who also bankrolled the entire $115 million-plus budget, "The Phantom Menace" begins the back story of "Star Wars," set a generation earlier, when Darth Vader was still a cute blond kid named Anakin Skywalker, who would grow up to become Luke's absentee father.
As anyone who hasn't been living in a swamp knows by now, "The Phantom Menace" has already been packaged as the Big Movie You Have To See, and then some.
The merchandising campaign is so far-reaching that it includes not just the usual action figures and video games but special Pepsi cans that you can collect for reasons beyond recycling.

Experts say battling prescription drug abuse in Nova Scotia is difficult
A Halifax pharmacist says drug stores will continue to be likely targets for crime among people battling addiction.
Peter Jorna, who also owns two pharmacies in the city, was targeted this week when one of his stores was robbed.
"An individual forced his way into the pharmacy, held a student who was working for me at knifepoint and demanded us to open up our narcotic safe," he said.
Jorna says shaking the effects of opioid addiction is easier said than done, and he knows how desperate some people can become to avoid getting "dope sick".
"A lot of people would describe the feeling like a hug from your mother and a bowl of chicken noodle soup," he said of the drugs' effects.
He stresses that the pain medication the thief at his store was likely searching for is not stored at that location.
"The nature of my pharmacy on Coburg Road is one where there isn't a lot of opioids that are dispensed out of there," he said. "The individual was probably frustrated to find out that he didn't get what he was looking for."
Direction 180, a community-based methadone program, provides support for people battling opioid addiction.
Executive director Cindy MacIsaac said the program helps people dealing with addiction to prescription drugs.
"It floods the receptors that an opioid would attach itself to and totally eliminates withdrawals and cravings. There's no euphoria," he said. "There's a lot of myths that people get on methadone and they come in for their daily fix to get high. They're not getting high, they're taking a medication that treats the withdrawal."
The program supports almost 500 clients, which is well over capacity, and has 50 people on its waiting list.
David Ford, who is a recovering addict, has treated his opioid addiction with methadone for 16 years.
He gets his prescription filled at one of Jorna's locations, and says addictions will always be an issue that people in society must face.
The road to recovery is much easier, he says, when there are compassionate medical professionals like Jorna who can help.
"You know people will find it. If it's around, people will find it. We're just lucky to have a person like Peter to look after us," Ford said.
MacIsaac says it's clear how big the opioid abuse problem has become.
"It's a huge problem in Nova Scotia. I think the general public is not aware of the magnitude of the issue in our province with prescription drug use and opioid addiction," she said.
More information about Direction 180 and the services it provides are available online.

I like the style of it and trying out a similar hat, my wife told me it suited me well but I have to say that I don't know how I'll feel wearing it in public !! We agreed that this is not really conventional here There may be many people wearing hats in the USA but in France, most of them are old people lol! Today you mostly see baseball caps. We always picture southern US states people to wear hats but not really a parisian But then i guess i'll start by wearing it during travels, on holidays, or weekend out of town maybe. Has anyone been in my situation ?

You might have read how easy it is to install Drupal, that all you need is a PHP server, a MySQL database and 5 minutes of time.
Author: Jan Detlefsen – Web Developer here in Thailand
You might have read how easy it is to install Drupal, that all you need is a PHP server, a MySQL database and 5 minutes of time. While this is all true, there might be people who don't even know what all of this even means (except for the 5 minutes of time, obviously). Naturally if you are getting more serious with Drupal and webdevelopment in general you should at some point know the meaning of all of those words and also learn how to manage it, but to get started with Drupal you can forget about them for now. Or maybe you are a Designer who wants to apply your HTML and CSS skills on a Drupal Theme, and you really never need to know what a LAMP stack is.
Bitnami to the rescue.
The good news is there is a very easy way to install Drupal. Head over to the Bitnami website and you will find a a couple of downloads. What you want to download are the "Installer" and pick the right one for your OS. Virtual machines are enought for another blogpost, though the results will be a similar one. If you have ever installed an application on your computer you will have no problem to click though this standard process and answer a few easy questions.
At the end you get a link and your browser will open and suddenly you have Drupal installed on your own computer. Now that was easy, wasn't it? make sure to bookmark the link cause besides your local adress it also contains a "port", that is the number after the colon in the url. Here are the installation screen, there isn't really much to explain about them. You might need to pick a different port than 8080 but the installer will tell your. It will also setup a connecting to your email account as most local server don't have any way for PHP to send off emails.
At the end you should see this with a url something like 'localhost:8080', in my case "macbookair.local:8085"
Now why was this so simple?
The Bitnami Installer is a packet installer for a lot of web applications. One of them happens to be Drupal. It does all the dirty work for you: Setting up a server environment that can runs and executes PHP code (that's what Drupal is based on), putting a database in place, installing your Drupal core and populating the database and finally making sure that your Drupal has the right settings and your browser know where it can find the site at. And a lot more little things that are enought to give you days of headache if you don't know what they are and how to fix them.
The advantage of a local installation
Local installations have a lot of advantages. Even if you own a webserver with massive space and have a lot of domains registered in your name. A local installation of your system of choice helps you test your setup and working with it can be done with practically zero lag. This is a huge advantage when you are doing any sort of development. Even two second of lag can cost you a lot of time if you update code or change settings multiple times per minute.
The usual workflow for many developer is to work on a copy of the cody on their local machine, then do deloyments to the online version in regular intervals. Also imagine a situation where your present your work and don't want to depend on a working network connection. It's also easier to have multiple installation of your code for testing as you can speicify different ports for every installation.
Why can't it always be so easy?
Actually it can. Besides desktop installer Bitnami has the same packages ready for online use. If you choose to host your web project at Amazon Web Services (and there are many reasons besides this that your should) you have access to all of Bitnamis installation packages though the AMI images. Those are snapshots of readily setup and optimized server where everything is pre-configured to work as a turn key solution. This is not only limited to low traffic websites. The images run on any size of machine so if you want to shell out 1500 US$ per month for 26 CPU's with 70GB of RAM that can handle hundred thousands of visiors per day you can still setup Drupal with just a few clicks.
This is all great now how much does it cost?
The nice thing is this is all comes for free. The Desktop installer are a simple download. The Amazon Machine Images are available though the community AMI search when you setup a new EC2 instance. Of course you have to pay the usual EC2 fees but nothing on top of that. Bitnami has paid service for cloud hosting and enterprise solutions. Those are their core business. The services descibed in this article are more of advertising and community relationship campaigns for those core products.
What more?
Besides Drupal there are identical installer packages and images available for most of the popular script and environments. Specially Pythion and Ruby based packages are an easy start for the beginner as those usually require a much deeper understanding of server invironment than the average PHP MYSQL packages and often keep beginner away from even trying. Notably there are also instalelr and images for Django, Ruby on Rails, Postgres, WordPress, Joomla, Redmine, Alfresco, SugarCRM, PHPBB, Subversion (SVN), Mediawiki, Magento and Moodle to name just the most well known ones.

Community/junior college students who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university should be aware of the transfer requirements that may apply in their particular cases. These requirements vary with age, ACT score, high school preparation, high school GPA, and the individual transfer college.
An articulation agreement is an understanding between two academic institutions that a course offered at one institution will be accepted for transfer credit at the partnering institution. Articulation agreements help students take appropriate courses at the community/junior college that will transfer for credit toward a bachelor's degree at the university of their choice. Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning and the Mississippi Community College Board have a statewide articulation agreement which governs the transfer of credits between Mississippi community/junior colleges and Mississippi public universities.
Students may take freshman and sophomore level transferable academic courses while at the community/junior college. Generally, one-half of the hours required for a bachelor's degree may be transferred from a community college and applied to that degree at a four-year college or university.
It is important to choose courses wisely. The transfer steps and transfer guide tool below have been created to ensure that those seeking transfer select the correct courses.

"It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it." - Tom Hanks in A League Of Their Own
It's one of the great and enduring mysteries that will be familiar to pretty much anyone who has ever laced up a running shoe. (At least, I'm assuming so. Maybe it's just me? In which case, er, just forget I ever said anything).
How is it that you can go out one day and feel brilliant and the next day you can almost sense you're going to have a shocker the minute you put one foot in front of the other?
I had this experience just last week on a favourite 10km training run that I must have done 200 times over the past couple of years. The first morning I went out was golden. Everything felt right and the world was spinning under my feet. I scooted up the hills like I was on an escalator, couldn't put a foot wrong on the downhills and arrived home feeling elated and barely fatigued.
It was one of those days all runners cherish.
Then, the following day, it all turned to custard. On the exact same route I felt about as lithe as a pregnant water buffalo. It was as if I was running through a swimming pool full of treacle. Everything hurt, from my breathing to my knees, and mentally I was in bits, with the darkest of negative thoughts assailing me at every step. It was horrible.
I asked Paul Penna, a sports psychologist who, among others, advises the Australian swimming team and Wests Tigers, what's happening when we feel like this.
"You've got to listen to your body and read what's going on," he says. "Maybe it's the start of a cold or flu. But you also have to realise that your body adapts to training so some days it is working really hard to recover and other days it is fully adapted and fresh and ready to go.
"We have an expectation for ourselves and whenever we don't meet it we get frustrated and that affects our mood, which becomes flatter and we enjoy the training less. The next day you might go out and force yourself to run harder because you weren't happy with yesterday and then you get more fatigued and stressed. And that's how burnout can start."
Penna says a problem for a lot of amateurs is not understanding the cyclical nature of training, or at least not being able to manage training sensibly because of other commitments.
"We get fitter and stronger by producing stress on our body," says Penna. "You can't continue to increase stress. It needs to go in a cycle. Typically it can be three weeks in stress production and then one week in recovery. If you don't give your body the chance to recover it doesn't adapt and get stronger, instead it continues to get stressed until it breaks down.
"We make all these assumptions that more equals better and a lot of amateurs don't train properly – they don't give themselves adequate rest."
I'll certainly put my hand up to that one. My training is pretty haphazard because, with the best will in the world carefully planned schedules of speed work, long runs and rest days tend to go out the window the minute real life intervenes. I'm more likely to overtrain for six or seven days straight, then have to take a couple of days off for family or work reasons, then go hard again because I feel bad for not running.
Hardly ideal. But then I suspect that this is the case for most amateurs. Most of us just have to take the rough with the smooth, muddle along as best we can and grab those golden days when they come along.
Do you manage to stick to a strict training regime, or do you inevitably end up over- or under-training. And what are your secrets to setting up an efficient routine and fitting everything else in?

New data has revealed that one in 10 social media users in the United Kingdom stopped using Twitter over the past 12 months, with loss of interest in the platform cited as the main reason.
Interest in Facebook in the UK is also waning, with the network losing about 9 percent of its users in the last year.
In their Social Media 2014 report, YouGov discovered that 55 percent of users quit a social media service simply because they have lost interest. Privacy concerns were listed as the main reason for 26 percent of quitters, with one in five leaving because they were "fed up with advertising and marketing strategies".
Overall, Facebook remains the dominant social network in the UK, with 86 percent using the service, ahead of YouTube (46 percent) and Twitter (32 percent).
"It could be argued that the relative decline of Facebook and Twitter is a direct result of social media being such an intrinsic part of people's everyday lives," said YouGov's James McCoy. "For example, Facebook has been available to the mass market since for seven years and in that time it has gone from being a fresh, new and innovative start up to a familiar colossus – a business empire with money to make and shareholders to satisfy. However, it should be noted that Facebook's decline is relative – it is still the king of social media with impressively high levels of usage."

My Inescapable Fate

Chapter 6 (v.1)
As the days passed, I learned so much and was quizzed over and over to make sure I had what Imi called "Maximum Retention". It was interesting that I had such a blast and my life was over a hundred times better than it was before. The step loser had moved out and I had been paying the landlady to keep the house. I may not want it, but I could fix it up and give it to a family that really deserved a home. I smiled as I got dressed for another day at work, my body had begun to adjust to the arduious work out that it went through every day. I was shocked to see that I had become more fit, my muscles toned and things that were flabby were finally the way the should be. I smiled to myself as I ate the last bite of my breakfast and grabbed my coffee. I ran out to the truck, I was a bit late and had already called Imi to let her know. She wasn't happy about it, but then again no one was perfect she told me.
I sped as fast as I could to the base and handed the guy at the gate my ID. He smiled at me and shook his head as I sped off and almost forgot my ID. I laughed at myself and grabbed my ID and rushed to the building to start my day. I got out of the truck, grabbed my coffee, turned around to rush into the building and ran into a brick wall.
"Oof." I looked up and it was like I was looking at a God. His blond hair shone in the early morning sun and his blue eyes were like pools of crystalline water. I was mezmerised by him and didn't see the hand he was holding out to me. I quickly grabbed it as he pulled me to my feet.
"Sorry wasn't watching where I was going. Maybe rockin out and running isn't such a good idea after all." He smiled a lopsided smile and I felt my stomach start to get butterflies.
"No completely my fault I am late for training and I really wasn't watching where I was going." I gasped, grabbed my things and rushed away not noticing that I left my keys behind in the mad rush to pick up the bags that held my guns in them.
As I rushed in the door and into the locker room to get fully suited up I looked over and Imi looked pissed.
"Really Ava, half an hour. I know you said you were going to be late but this is just unacceptable."
I took in a deep breath. "You are right Imi and I apologize, I will do my best to make sure that it never happens again."
She looked me over for another second before she nodded. I was expecting miracles when Tom said that she was nice, but here I stand with bitchzilla and the whole pissy possy. I just can't stand it but I push my way through. We start our day as usual with me running four miles and doing the obsticle course. I finally have it to under nine minutes and I know that she is impressed with my progress but she never tells me. After the warm up she starts to kick my ass with all different forms of martial arts. She is so quick and agile that I start to wonder if she is really human. After two hours of brutal ass kickery she finally gives me a break hydrate and cool off before the final showdown I knew was coming.
I move away from the building and start to catch my breath when the mysterious Adonis that has been in the back of my mind ambles with a group of people. I watch him as he moves, the fluidity of him makes my mouth water and I wonder just what it would be like to be touched by him. All of a sudden I am staring at him eye to eye and I can't help but lose myself in their depths. I see him say something to the people he is with before he starts to jog over to me.
"Hey I just wanted to apologize to you again about this morning. I am not the most graceful person without enough coffee to hype up an elephant. My name is Alex by the way, I go by Lex or on the rare special occasion dumbass or clumsy work just fine."
I smile at his quip and stand up and draw myself up to full height. "Ava and only Ava. Unless I run into Princess Barbie then I am Bitch, which I handle and wear just fine."
He laughs then and it is a wonderfully alarming sound. "Yes, well I am guessing by the Princess Barbie comment you are talking about Tori. Don't worry about her, they never could unjam that stick from up her ass. You have the most stunning eyes I have ever seen. Maybe we could talk again soon, I would really like the chance to get to know you."
I looked at him shocked and tilted my head to the side like a confused puppy. "You know that may have sounded sincere in your head, but coming out of your mouth it sounded like 'I want to get you drunk and fuck your brains out.' and I am just not that kinda girl. So I am going to go back to my training and when you learn what the word 'Lady' means, well then you can try again."
I stood up and made my way back to Imi to finish up the grueling hour of ass kicking she had in store for me. As I got back to her she smiled at me. "I see you ran into Lex? How interesting that you didn't fall for him like the rest have."
I raised my eyebrow at her. "You know I am not the type of person to fall for some 'I wanna get to know ya' line at all. I actually want to be treated like the lady that I am. I am done with the bullshit of being mistreated by people and I have been weeding those out of my life that don't think I am an amazing person. It may not leave me very many people but I will damn sure be glad to those very few true friends I have."
She nodded at me approvingly and then moved forward into position. I mirrored her and took in a deep breath for the pain that she was about to inflict on me. I still wasn't as fast as her when it came to hands on combat, but I tried my best. As she rushed me I started to block and block as she began to back me into a corner. I started to feel my confidence wane and that was when she kicked me in the jaw.
"Ava, get your damn head out of your ass and strike back. Staying on the defensive will get you killed in no time. If you don't fight back how are you to survive. I find this training to be a waste of time on you to be honest. You have no fight in you to do what you must. This isn't a job for little pansy ass bitches that can't get their head out of their ass. This job is given to broken women because they are stronger and have more to live for than the rest of the populous. You are showing me that the stuff your step father put you through is not enough to break you. I don't think you are cut out for this Ava, I think you like being the victim, the one that deserves pity. Such a waste of God given talent that you are just going to piss your life away like the rest of the drones in this world."
I looked at her shocked and I could feel the anger rising deep inside me. I knew what she was doing, I could feel the sarcasm as it rolled off her skin. I smiled at her and she just stared.
"You don't think I can sense reverse psycology a mile off. Fuck that shit, if you really want me to fight then fine, but honestly that isn't the way to do it. That is a bullshit method that may work on others but never on me. I am a lot stronger than I look and you may look sweet and innocent but even before I talked to you I could sense how hostile you are. I don't know what you went through to make you so fucked up but you should know to never judge a book by it's cover. You might want to try a different tactic on me and if you can't think of one then sorry for your damn luck. Unless you have walked a mile in my shoes don't presume that you know jack shit. Don't make my Barbie list cause there is no coming back from that."
Imi looked at me and I could see that she was grinding her teeth. I was pissing her off and I wasn't sure that was a good thing. She could kill me in twenty different ways with a chalk eraser and I would just have to take it.
She nodded after a second and looked at me. "Sit down Ava, you and I are going to have a discussion. There are a few things you need to know and a couple of things I want you to know. One of the things I want you to know is that I didn't think you were suited to this kind of life. I figured you for one to soft, for someone to break you so easily that you would give up all of our secrets. Now that I see you I am starting to wonder if maybe I have misjudged you. I haven't seen this side of you before Ava, and I wonder if maybe the brass had it right. They don't seem to understand that not even a third of the women that are here don't belong in this unit. To me they are just disposable assets. Yes, I know that sounds cold, but it is truth. They don't have any real talents, they want to be here because it sounds badass. None of them work as hard as we do."
I looked at her for a moment in total disbelief. "So what you think that because I smarted off to you that I am a better fit?"
She shook her head. "No because you didn't let your anger get to you, you didn't fall for the tricks I have been playing and you're very level headed. I judged you way too harshly by how you looked. I figured that since you were a red head then you were automatically a hothead but in the past few days you have shown me different. I am going to tell you something that not many people know."
I looked at her for a moment confused. I could tell she was very uncomfortable. "Imi you don't have to tell me anything that you aren't comfy with. Goodness knows I didn't want my personal business aired out, but that it was."
She shook her head. "My life wasn't always bad. I had a great life until I was headed off for college. My father had gotten into debt with the wrong people and instead of going to college I was sold and sent overseas. I was raped, beaten, burned, flayed and that was when I made a huge life decision. I learned to fight back, I was taught weapons, hand to hand and a few other things that saved my life. What I wasn't expecting was to fall in love. His name was Lolek and he was an amazing person. He helped me get the strength to escape, he gave his life for mine and left me with two of the most amazing people in my life. My twins Marek and Marika."
I looked at her shocked. "Wow, makes you wonder just what life has in store for you doesn't it?"
She nodded. "Yes, but right now I am just trying to do the best I can for my wonderful children no matter the cost. Right now my mother watches them while I am at work, they go to daycare and she picks them up if I am going to be late. Some things in life change and if you can't roll with it then it will kill you. I learned the hard way and no one should have to learn like that. You are soon to go on missions that could take you weeks or even months to get what you need, and you may have to be something you are not. You would be surprised what I would do for my children, how many times the government has tried to whore me out. I find alternatives though and I always will. Now come, there is someone that wants to meet you."
She helped me up off the ground and we talked as we headed towards an office building across the base. I never knew how immense it was and compared to the base I was going to it was amazing. I laughed as she told me about some of the blunders that the others had made, and the large head that Tori still had even after being ground into the dirt for the first week of her training. I found out that each person on her team was essential in what they did and she explained how I would fit it. It amazed me just how efficient they were and with each word I wanted more and more to be on the team.
As we entered the offices she led me straight through until we got to a very large office at the end of a hallway. As she entered I saw a middle aged man behind the desk on his phone. He smiled and waved us in as he tried to hasten up his phone call. Imi made a gesture that it was alright and her and I sat in the chairs. It felt good to sit somewhere soft other than my bed and my body luxuriated in the overstuffed chair.
Before I knew it he was off the phone and looking right at Imi. "How are you Imi, it has been a long time."
She nodded. "Yes Rodger, it has at that. Let's get the pleasantries out of the way. You called me in here and now I want to get this over with. You always call people into your office at the worst times. Hurry, I have to get her to Nora and I don't think you want to deal with her."
He nodded. "I called you here to tell you that right after her training Ava is to report to Thomas for the specs on her first mission. If you think she isn't ready well, then she will have to leave the program. Things have come to my attention and we need more resources, threats to our way of life have been detected and we need more people to infiltrate them. I know that it may sound harsh but right now we are sending in half trained assets that are coming home to us in body bags and I have no more patience for those who aren't fully committed with us."
I could feel my anger rising in me, but just smiled at him. He seemed to bristle a little bit at that and it made me smile more. "Don't ever underestimate me. I could have sworn we had that conversation about a week ago when you thought you could test yourself against me. You can ask any one of my trainers and they will tell you I bust my ass from sun up to sun down and I have probably learned more in a week than your half trained assets have in a month. Now get off my back, I am tired of people always thinking to sell me short. When I am done with my training I will report to Tom as instructed for whatever hell you think you are going to put me through." Each word was punctuated as I stood up more and more until I was resting on my fingertips poised to rip out his throat. I smiled sweetly at him as Imi put her hand on my arm and we walked out of the office.
She waited until we were fully out of the building before she started to laugh. She was giggling like a maniac, holding her sides and stamping her foot on the ground. "Oh my goodness Ava, I have never and I mean never heard anyone fuck him up like that. He was actually scared of you. Good, very good shows me you aren't intimiated by anyone. You are doing good, but you have a long way to go. Now let's get over to Nora before she reams your ass like I did this morning."
As my day progressed I thought long and hard about the things that I wanted from my life. I wanted what Imi had, the respect and admiration and I knew I would have to work my buns off to get it. As the day wore on I started to wonder if I was even good enough to fill her shoes, or to even stand beside her, and as the day came to an end I poured myself in my truck close to tears and started my trek back to the apartment. I wanted to pour my sorrows out over some tequila and I would feel right as rain in the morning.

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
Dubai, UAE, United Arab Emirates, 2006/12/17 - Company prepares to open 15 new outlets in 2007.
Dunkin' Donuts, the world's largest coffee and baked goods chain, is planning a major regional foray in the next one year to strategically position itself to tap the massive business potential arising out of the sizzling economic growth in the region.
Mr. David Rodgers, General Manager of Dunkin Donuts said: The internationally renowned restaurant chain is opening more than 15 new outlets before the end of 2007 in order to increase its retail network and brand visibility. We have seen the growth path the region has launched itself into and we would like to participate and support in the regions development.
According to the IMF, the UAE alone is expected to register 11.5 per cent growth this year. With oil prices expected to stay around US$60 a barrel, revenues are estimated to continue flowing at a very healthy level providing huge liquidity in the country and the whole region.
Dunkin Donuts has been present in the region for more than 10 years registered a year-on-year growth of more than 25% for the year 2004. Growth still higher last year (2005), was estimated to be around 35%.
Such growth rates were possible because Dunkin Donuts was able to identify the locations that offered growth opportunities long before its competitors. This has kept the company in a highly advantageous position so far.
Not the one to sit on its laurels, Dunkin Donuts has now launched a region-wide expansion programme that will see a total of 15 new outlets within a year. This will make the total number of Dunkin Donuts outlets to 50 in the UAE so far.
The planned regional foray will strategically prepare Dunkin' Donuts for the next stage of aggressive growth in the coming years. These new outlets will offer a product range that includes 52 varieties of donuts and more than a dozen coffee beverages as well as an array of other baked goods.
Dunkin' Donuts uses 100% Arabica coffee beans and has its own coffee specifications, which are recognized by the industry as a superior grade of coffee. Based on Dunkin' Donuts Quality (DDQ) specifications, coffee is milled and processed specifically for the company.
Moreover, the favorite Dunkin' Donuts coffee or beverage can be personalized with four delicious sugar-free flavors! They are French Vanilla, Hazelnut, Chocolate and Caramel.
With more than 6,500 outlets in 29 countries worldwide, Dunkin' Donuts currently, serves more than 2.7 million customers a day. Besides the GCC region, the companys most significant presence overseas includes the Philippines, Indonesia, South Korea, Thailand, Germany, Spain, Greece, and Turkey.

You could look it up, II
Over the last month or so, cranks have again been attacking evolution. Unfortunately, attacks on evolution have been rather steady since the publication of The Origin of Species by Darwin in 1858. Since that time, it is possible to observe mitosis, the gene, and demonstrate evolution in the lab with fruit flies. Furthermore, Mendel's findings have been confirmed as well. Lastly, even such a conservative institution as the Catholic Church has accepted evolution. The Catholic Church recognizes that evolution has nothing to say about how life originated, only how life has changed (and the causes of change) once life was established.
Evolution is accept science. It is time that cranks read some current science texts and cease their spurious attacks on evolution.

LONDON (Jul. 12)
The entire question of handling the refugee problem is now under "close consideration," Major Clement R. Attlee revealed in the House of Commons today in replying to demands voiced in Commons for the appointment of a single minister to handle the whole problem.
The press campaign against the wholesale internment policy has been spurred by the Commons debate. The Manchester Guardian predicted today that "radical improvements" would follow, while the Daily Herald asserted that the "internment craze" was being carried to "cowardly lengths."

The competition was tough and the scores close in the Canyon Oaks CC NCGA 2-Man Net Better Ball qualifying round (actually called "four-ball"). Three teams tied for low net at 62 and six teams tied for fourth place with a score of 63.
The team of Mike O'Donnell and Ryan O'Donnell and the team of Jim (Northstar) Stevens and Dan (Fifth Sun) Gonzales edged out the team of Paul Zastrow and Jason Zastrow on a back-nine card-off. The Zastrow boys will have to settle for the alternate spot if one of the winning teams cannot make the next level of qualifying on April 22.
One of the qualifying courses is Bidwell Park Golf Course, which is very convenient for those in our area. Sure beats having to drive to the Bay Area or Sacramento. The championship, which will be held on June 23-24, is in the Monterey area.
Alan Stephenson was again on top in the first flight of the Chico SIR's Golf Club tournament, held at Bidwell Park, with a net score of 66. Pete Abolins and Ray Navarro tied for second place with a score of 74. Don Cummings also shot a net 66 to win the second flight. Rich Attinger and Joe Gallaway tied for second place at 68. Don Foster shot a net 68 to win the third flight. Gene Rideout (69) was second. Mike Hood, also with a net 66, won the fourth flight. Bob Huss and Jack Schmidtke both shot a net 67 to tie for the second spot. Closest to the pin winners were, 1, Bob Mayerak; 2, Skip Reager; 3, Darrel Hands; 4, Abolins; 4, Navarro.
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, Irma Jenkins proceeded to win the first flight in the Butte Creek Country Club Women's Golf Club Stableford tournament with a five-point margin score of 39 points. Karla Dreiss (34) and Karey McKenney (33) finished second and third, respectively. Joan Bequette and Betty Dean tied for first place in the second flight with 33 points. Cil Hauer won the third flight with 30 points. Jackie Heal (29 points) took the second spot.
Sandy Goble is back in form in the Table Mountain GC Women's Golf Club weekly tournaments. Goble was overall low gross with a score of 84. Pam Weichert won low net with a score of 66.

The Paradise SIR's Golf Club played its semimonthly tournament at Tuscan Ridge GC. The team of Lloyd Speights, Curtis Stark and Mike Kruger won the three-man, two best-ball flight with a net score of 131. The team of Gary McElroy, Ed (Class of '54) Polen, Billy Troegner and Marv Banta and the team of Rudy Melashenko, Dave Roberts, Ralph Johnson and Richard Boulter tied for first in the four-man flight. Clint Williams won closest to the pin. Larry Speck took home the special Priscilla Rawlings prize.
Spectacular shots
Marc Richmond recorded his fifth (ho-hum) career ace on the 17th hole at Table Mountain GC. His playing companions, Charlie Dunn, Kim DeHagen and Larry Strand, witnessed Richmond's perfect 125-yard, 9-iron tee shot disappear into the cup.
Mike Fisher achieved his first hole-in-one on the No. 4 hole at Bidwell Park GC. Jim Barger, Ron Peterson and Dick Triplett attested to Fisher's 130-yard, 9-iron tee shot. This was obviously Fisher's lucky day because four holes later on the 451-yard, par-5 eighth hole, his 7-wood, 170-yard approach shot ended up 8 feet from the cup and he proceeded to drain the putt for an eagle three. Two eagles on the front nine. Frame that scorecard, Mike.

Ok, Ok, I admit it. I'm a little tight with the dollar. Particularly when I know something can be had at a better price if I wait them out. The cash and points redemption from Starwood is a perfect example.
When I started planning this around the world trip, I located all the Starwood Hotels in the places I planned to stay. In Bangkok there is a hotel called the Plaza Athenee which suits our needs just fine. It is a category 3 Starwood property and my choices for payment were:
- 5,600 Thai Bahts or $161 US or
- 7,000 Starwood points or
- 2,800 Starwood points and $45 US (cash and points)
When I was assured of the dates for Bangkok, I went back to book it, there was no cash and points option? The dilemmas we face in life.
After 60 days of waiting Starwood out, the cash and miles option showed up again last night and I booked our room.
The math is as follows:
If I paid 7,000 Starwood points for the room, I would be receiving 2.3 cents of value for each Starwood point.
But, by using the cash and points option my 2,800 Starwood points redeemed were worth:
$161 minus $45 co pay left $116 divided by 2,800 or a value of 4.1 cents per Starpoint 🙂
That is not quite twice the redemption value of a straight points redemption, but well worth the wait to me.
Of our 61 nights on this Around the World adventure, 28 are booked with Starwood hotels and every redemption is with the cash and points option.
I guess I am as tight with Starpoints, as I am with cash.

A coffin is bad luck for a dreamer. It is a signification of bad debts. If you are in the coffin, failure in business or loss of occupation may threaten you. If the coffin is moved, sickness and death are the warning. For the very young, death of a loved one.
Search Results for: coffin
Here's what we've found for you
(Arc) In a dream, a coffin means a great wealth. Ifone sees himself hiding inside a coffin in a dream, it means fearing ones enemy and that one is incapable of facing him, though this element in a dream also could mean salvation or escape from dangers that will follow. If one sees himself riding […]
A coffin is symbolic of a person dying physically, mentally, and emotionally. A coffin can symbolize someone coming out of spiritual death into life in Christ, Eph. 2:5
Redemption, resurrection and salvation are all symbolized by the coffin. Contemplation of the death experience can lead to dreams of a coffin, in this case symbolizing the physical body, though we may be attuned to the unseen spiritual world.
This dream is unlucky. You will, if you are a farmer, see your crops blasted and your cattle lean and unhealthy. To business men it means debts whose accumulation they are powerless to avoid. To the young it denotes unhappy unions and death of loved ones. To see your own coffin in a dream, business […]
(Casket; Coffin; Mummy case) A dead person or a mummy inside a sarcophagus in a dream represents unlawful money. If the coffin is empty in the dream, then it represents a house of evil, or an evil person who is sought by people of the same trade. (Also see Coffin)
A dead person is encoffined: you'll be struck by money luck.. • A corpse break out of its coffin: You can expect a sudden boost of money luck. • A coffin is pulled to the surface: a great fortune is coming your way;
(China, interpretation of dreams) A dead person is encoffined: you'll be struck by money luck. A corpse break out of its coffin: You can expect a sudden boost of money luck A coffin is pulled to the surface: a great fortune is coming your way;
Placing something no longer there in its right place. This dream symbol most likely evokes fear, but before making quick interpretations, carefully consider all of the details in this dream. The coffin could symbolize a lack of energy or vitality in the dreamer. It could represent the death of one stage of life and movement […]
Joining the funeral prayers in a dream means fostering brotherhood with people on God's path. Walking by a funeral procession in a dream is interpreted to represents a hypocrite who destroys or kills an evil person. Ifone sees himself laid in a coffin though no one carries it in a dream, it means that he […]

Senate gives final approval to regulatory changes, protest petition repeal
Posted July 2, 2015
Raleigh, N.C. — The Senate on Thursday passed two controversial measures, sending both back to the House for a final vote.
Without any debate, senators voted 39-10 in favor of repealing protest petitions, a tool that neighbors use to slow down new developments or business construction near existing homes and businesses. Proponents of the change said the petitions make it too easy for a lone landowner or small group of landowners to block progress on a development project. Opponents said existing residents should have more of a say in how their neighborhood develops.
The Senate voted 31-17 for legislation that would change a wide swath of environmental, business and government regulations.
The 54-page omnibus, which would roll back regulations on air quality, water quality, stormwater runoff, permitting and recycling, was unveiled Sunday night, replacing a one-page bill dealing with gravel trucks, and it quickly drew opposition from the state Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
A series of changes made Wednesday scaled back the impact of the bill enough to win DENR support, and sponsor Sen. Trudy Wade, R-Guilford, rolled out another amendment Thursday that tweaked the bill further.
The latest changes would prohibit dumping old computer equipment and televisions in landfills or burning them in incinerators. Although the bill still repeals the state requirement on recycling computers and TVs, the amendment effectively eliminates other options for disposing of them.
The bill also still would make it easier for the state to have its legal fees paid for by the losing party when it wins a court challenge to its actions, Wade's amendment would limit that to challenges to property improvements and issuing permits based on environmental impact.

According to Gazeta.ru, access to most central streets of Minsk has been restricted by 10 am Minsk time:
[...] Kirova St. and Prospekt Marxa are blocked: cars aren't allowed there. Also, a number of government buildings have been cordoned off by the police. City officials explain that these restrictions are caused by the threats of terrorist acts. They ask people not to use cars when getting to the city center and, if possible, empty backyards of residential building of cars, too.

Was deal in City Creek shooting plot yanked over political pressure?
Kia Kaha St George, UTApril 15, 2014 9:40 a.m.
Blaming this poor guy for scaring away the shoppers from City Creek Center. There were no shoppers at CCC to scare away. Friday nights were dismal before this man came on the scene. The Church is paying the stores at City Creek to stay closed on Sunday. It was never designed to recoup the billions in development costs. It was sold or given away to Taubman for $76 million, not $(5)76 million. Our poor brother has become a convenient scapegoat for the brilliant financial and development minds at PRI.

Hamilton noted his client didn't own a gun and said police have confirmed that "if he tried to buy a gun, he would be unable to buy a gun."
Sure he could. I have bought four different guns (one in a gun store and two at a gun show) with nothing more than cash and a handshake. Usually I prefer to go through the classifieds in the newspaper. It is much easier to deal with a private owner, there is no paperwork, and they are usually willing to bargain or trade. I gave a mountain bike for a .357 S&W once. Most pawn shops will work with you a lot too. I bought a Springfield 30-40 Krag (I love old war rifles from the 1800's and early 1900's) and didn't even have to show ID. Yes there are laws they are supposed to obey, but many of them are pretty easygoing once you talk to them.

Lock him up for life.
I'm about as forgiving as it gets (at least in principle) in terms of the law and how we ought to punish criminal behavior. But to plan something like this is an amount of mental instability that I wouldn't risk or wager our safety on.
If you refuse to live peacefully in society, then you should be removed from society. My dad used to say "take them to an island and leave them there". I dismissed such as old fogey talk, but now I actually agree with him. We need to protect ourselves from within and not enough is being done about it.
procuradorfiscal Tooele, UTApril 14, 2014 5:14 p.m.
Re: "The state clearly represented that it was under pressure to not dismiss this case . . . ."
Yeah. That's called victim advocacy. And, it's not only perfectly legal, the law requires that prosecutors communicate with victims of crime, and take into account their concerns in making prosecutorial decisions.
This is an absolute non-issue, though the criminal defense bar, which is not bound by the same code of ethics as prosecutors, will often attempt stunts such as this, to influence public sentiment in the hope of tainting the jury pool.
Sadly, callow journalists, anxious for a story, often fall for it.

Trying to contain Hackensack super sophomore Rashard Figures is no easy task.
Just ask Paddy Quinn.
The Don Bosco senior is known for his astute leadership and uncanny ability to pop a much-needed jumper from beyond the arc, but during Sunday afternoon's Bergen Jamboree semifinal, he opened many eyes by executing on the defensive side of the ball.
Quinn held Figures to just 13 points – well below his season average of 20 – and contributed to a balanced offensive effort as the Ironmen cruised past the Comets, 76-59, and punched their tickets to the big stage.
Don Bosco will look to upend undefeated Teaneck, ranked No. 3 in MSG Varsity's Garden State power rankings, in the Bergen Jamboree championship on Thursday at 7 p.m. at Ramapo College.
Figures, a 6-foot-5 scoring machine who has already generated a ton of Division I interest, was held in check by Quinn while Leonte Carroo paced the Ironmen with 22 points, while Paul Jorgensen added 11 and the team's leading scorer, Jemal Mosley, chipped in 15.
What was Quinn's secret?
"Playing against Jemal in practice all the time helped a lot," Quinn said. "We really go after each other in practice, so it was very similar. Figures is a little taller, but other than that it was just like playing against Jemal. It brings the same mentality."
Such a cerebral approach to stopping one of Bergen County's top offensive forces enabled Don Bosco to jump out to an early 20-6 advantage late in the first quarter. Eventually, Hackensack crawled back, but never truly posed a threat.
"It was very important," Jorgensen said when asked about constructing an early run. "They're a good team and I play on the same AAU team as Figures, so we knew what he's capable of doing. We knew he's a great shooter, but Paddy did a great job defending him. He's one of our best leaders and he knows how to do his job."
Quinn also added 12 points for Don Bosco, which took a 36-24 lead into halftime and blew the contest wide open in the fourth. Now, the squad has afforded itself the chance to get some revenge against Teaneck, which defeated Tenafly, 60-36, in the other semifinal.
"Losing last year was heart-breaking, so it's been in the back of our minds that we'd see them again," Quinn said of falling in last season's final to the Highwaymen, 72-67, in overtime. "We want them."
The Ironmen can win the Jamboree for the fourth time in seven years and sixth time this decade, while Teaneck – winners of two of the last three titles -- is aiming to capture its tournament-leading 10th all-time crown.
"It was important to stay focused and stay in the game," Mosley said. "They got us last year in the championship, so we're coming back for revenge."

Hi, I am currently taking daily Vitamin A supplements (within recommended limit of 2500-5000 IU) and am thnking about using creams which contain Vitamin A derivatives for acne skin issues. The creams I have looked at use either Retinol (0.25%), Retinaldehyde (1%) or Tretinoin (Retin-A 0.1%). I wanted to find out if its safe to take Vitamin A supplements and also concurrently use creams containing Vitamin A at the same time. If not what are the potential dangers/issues. Many Thanks

The only way to get a vitamin A overdose is to take too much of vitamin A by mouth. Vitamin A excess can be potentially harmful to the liver and to eyesight, so please be very careful with the amount of vitamin A you are taking.
It is safer to take beta carotene that is converted to vitamin A by the body, but is water soluble as opposed to vitamin A that is fat soluble and gets stored in the body.

NASA's space shuttle Endeavour will be carrying a former University of Colorado at Boulder postdoctoral researcher, a campus-built biomedical payload and two CU educational experiments when it blasts off from Cape Kennedy, Fla., on Tuesday, March 11.
Takao Doi, who conducted postdoctoral work at CU-Boulder on microgravity fluids in 1987 and 1988 and was an aerospace engineering associate professor adjoint from 1991 to 1995, will be making his third flight during the 16-day Endeavor mission, which is headed to the International Space Station, or ISS. Doi, now an astronaut in the Japanese space agency, previously flew on the space shuttle Columbia in 1997 and is one of 17 CU-Boulder alumni who have flown on NASA missions.
CU-Boulder's BioServe Space Technologies center designed and developed the biomedical payload for four microbial resistance and virulence experiments that will be flying on Endeavour, said Bioserve Director Louis Stodieck. Bioserve is providing the hardware, integration, operation and support for the four microgravity experiments, which were designed by researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston and at Montana State University and Arizona State University.
The biomedical experiments will probe the effects of space flight on four model organisms, including strains of salmonella, pneumonia, yeast and a common lung bacteria, said Stodieck. Studies have suggested space flight can result in the suppression of the immune system of both humans and animals, and previous studies have shown the microgravity of spaceflight can alter growth rates, virulence, drug resistance and gene expression in such microorganisms, he said.
The experiments will be flown aboard the space shuttle in sets of specially designed space test tubes, which are fluid-processing apparatuses designed and built at BioServe, said Stodieck. Endeavor astronauts will control the individual experiments using hand cranks, first to trigger cell growth via fluid mixing and later to terminate it. The samples will be returned to Earth at the end of the Endeavour mission for further study by biomedical researchers, Stodieck said.
"Results from these experiments could provide important information on the threat of pathogens in the space environment, especially during long-term missions to explore the moon and Mars," said Stodieck. "Not only do these experiments have applications for keeping crew members safe by helping scientists better understand gene and protein changes in pathogens, they also could help biomedical researchers find new ways to prevent and control infectious disease on Earth."
Headquartered in CU-Boulder's aerospace engineering sciences department, BioServe also will be delivering two K-12 educational experiments to ISS on Endeavor as part of an educational program known as "CSI" developed by the NASA-sponsored CU center in 2006. The experiments, a seed-germination/plant development study and a silicate crystal garden, will provide learning opportunities for middle school and high school students around the world, said Stefanie Countryman, the BioServe business manager and coordinator of education outreach.
The crystal garden experiment, similar to one launched by BioServe in August 2007 on Endeavour, will be tapped to examine the growth of metallic salts in the low gravity of space. In addition to being used for research studies, the experiment will be used by BioServe's educational partner, Orion's Quest, a Web-based education program in Detroit that works closely with NASA and various schools on K-12 education efforts.
The second BioServe educational experiment involves sprouting and growing tomato seeds in orbit to illustrate how gravity affects germination and plant development, said Stodieck. The seed experiment also has implications for growing food during long-term space missions and for developing heartier varieties of tomatoes for Earth-bound gardeners.
Both educational experiments will be processed inside BioServe's Commercial Generic Bioprocessing Apparatus, an automated suitcase-sized device developed at CU-Boulder that has been launched on more than a dozen NASA space shuttle missions. During the space shuttle docking process with ISS, the plant and crystal education experiments will be transferred from the shuttle to two BioServe CGBA units already aboard the space station, Stodieck said.
The 16-day Endeavour mission will focus on ISS construction, including installing a Japanese research module and delivering a two-armed Canadian robot module to the orbiting station.

Fedroff enjoying climb through minors
Posted April 4, 2012
Zebulon, N.C. — It's hard not to notice the huge smile on Tim Fedroff's face as he takes batting practice as a member of the Cleveland Indians.
"It's a lot of fun," said Fedroff. "The treatment is first class. Anytime you get to experience that it's a good time."
But the former Tar Heel doesn't get to experience the star treatment often, he's a minor leaguer who was on the Indians roster for the day as they played the Carolina Mudcats in an exhibition game.
"Anytime you get to be surrounded by these guys it's a great learning experience, I just try to soak it in," said Fedroff.
Mitchell: Fedroff working hard towards MLB goal
Fedroff was a 7th round draft pick by the Indians in 2008 after leading the Tar Heels to consecutive trips to the College World Series. He's spent his first years of pro ball grinding it out in the minor leagues, enjoying long bus rides and few off days.
"It's a lot fun, it's a lot of hard work, it gets stressful at times," said Fedroff. "I'm very grateful to have the opportunity. I'm really enjoying it."
And he's definitely putting up numbers to catch the eye of the organization. Fedroff moved up to Triple-A Columbus last year after an impressive batting average of 338 in Double-A Akron. He will begin this season back in Akron looking for a repeat performance.
"Hoping to play well and get off to a good start and maybe make some rises through the system. We'll see," Fedroff said.
If he continues to play well, he could find himself wearing the huge smile more often.


text: One other thing to deal with if you intend on using conformal coating or potting on your PCB assembly is to make absolutely sure your PCB is absolutely DRY and free of contaminants prior to applying the coating lest you want bad things to happen to the circuitry some time in the future. A pre-coating bake is usually recommended to ensure a dry board prior to coating. As others have mentioned, some coatings can be lossy at RF frequencies. An option to consider is called selective coating. This allows only selected portions of the circuitry to be coated while allowing other areas to be left uncoated. -Ray VVLP wrote: >I've been involved in the trials and tribulations of potting small >transmitters operating at 900MHz.
