Pets are allowed in Calvert Cliffs State Park.
Calvert Cliffs State Park is a day-use park featuring a sandy beach, unique fossils, recycled tire playground, fishing, a freshwater and tidal marshland and 13 miles of hiking trails located in Calvert County.
The massive cliffs, from which Calvert Cliffs State Park was named, dominate the shoreline of the Chesapeake Bay for roughly 24 miles in Calvert County and were formed over 10 to 20 million years ago when all of Southern Maryland was covered by a warm, shallow sea. When the sea receded the cliffs were exposed and began eroding. Today these cliffs reveal the remains of prehistoric species Including sharks, whales, rays, and seabirds that were the size of small airplanes.
Fossil Hunting - Fossil hunting can be done at the open beach area at the end of the red trail, approximately 1.8 miles from the parking lot. Over 600 species of fossils from the Miocene era (10 to 20 million years ago) have been identified in the Calvert Cliffs, many of which can be found at Calvert Cliffs State Park. Chesapectens, Ecphora, Miocene era oyster shells, and sharks teeth are common finds. Sieves and shovels can be used to sift the sand for fossils. Please keep in mind that the area beneath the cliffs is closed due to dangerous land slides and the potential for injury. It is illegal to collect fossils beneath the cliffs.**CLIFFS SAFETY NOTICE** - Due to the danger of the landslides caused by cliff erosion and the serious injuries they can cause, climbing upon and walking beneath the cliffs is prohibited. Thank you for your safe cooperation.
Beach - The Calvert Cliffs' beach area is a sandy quarter mile stretch located on the Chesapeake Bay. The shortest route to the beach is the 1.8 mile Red Trail. Fossil hunting and typical beach activities are common reasons people visit the beach. No lifeguard is present and swimming is at your own risk. This beach is located near the Calvert Cliffs. Please keep in mind that the area beneath the cliffs is closed due to dangerous land slides and the potential for injury.

***This is not the physical address of Calvert Cliffs State Park***
Calvert Cliffs State Park is one of Maryland's most popular parks and serves a very high volume of visitors during summer weekends and holidays. To ensure the safety of our visitors and protection of the park's natural resources and facilities, the park has a limited capacity.
During periods of high visitation, when the park's capacity is reached, the park will be closed and traffic will be turned away from the park entrance. When that occurs, no additional vehicles / visitors will be allowed to enter the park, including those with members of their party who may already be in the park. If you are not traveling in the same vehicle with others in your party, we suggest that you all arrive at the same time.
When the park is closed due to being full to capacity, individuals and groups with shelter and/or camping reservations will be admitted, as parking is reserved for those purposes.
Based on recent experience and visitation trends, and depending on good weather, Calvert Cliffs State Park will likely fill to capacity and close on Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day holiday weekends, and other weekends during the course of the summer. Please take this into consideration when planning your trip.

SEATTLE — You have a three-day weekend coming up and you want to get away for a little shopping and nightlife, or maybe just a change of scenery.
So how about Reykjavik?
Yes, that's in Iceland — and you may be surprised to learn you can get there and back in a long weekend.
At this time of year, it's also affordable: You can get your fill of lava fields, geothermal steam, ghostly winter light and quaint European streetscapes for not much more than the cost of three or four nights in San Francisco.
My sister and I recently booked a Thursday-to-Sunday Icelandair deal that included flight, hotel, some meals, a free museum pass and unlimited in-city bus service for $685 each. Here's how we spent our time:
—Day one
After about a seven-hour flight, we arrived at Keflavik airport at 6:45 a.m., though it could have been the middle of the night for all we knew. In Iceland, in February, the sun begins to rise about 9:30 a.m., traverses a low arc across the horizon, and sets around 5 p.m. Visitors learn quickly to make the most of precious daylight.
After breakfast and a stop to drop our bags at our hotel (the well-situated Centerhotel Plaza), we walked straightaway up a short hill to the Hallgrimskirkja — perhaps Reykjavik's most recognizable landmark.
A modernist church designed by Icelandic architect Guðjon Samuelsson in the middle of the 20th century, it presides over downtown. For about $4 you can take an elevator to the top of the bell tower and survey the city, the ice-clad mountains and the sea beyond.
It's a charming view — marked by colorful, functional, low-rise buildings made mostly of concrete and corrugated metal (trees are scarce in Iceland).
As we looked out on the rooftops and the glowering sky, we sensed a slight whiff of sulfur in the air — evidence of the geothermal activity that powers most of the country. The church bell tolled, seeming to welcome us to this strange and beautiful world.
After a quick stop for a slice of pizza, we spent the afternoon walking the main commercial streets of Reykjavik: Laugavegur and Skolavorðustigur.
Shop windows bloom with high-end fashion; traditional woolens; outdoor gear by Iceland companies like 66o North and Zo-on; contemporary Danish housewares; and trinket shops hawking trolls and Viking figurines.
If you're in the mood to buy, be sure you understand how the VAT tax works, because you could save yourself about 15 percent on many purchases.
Speaking of economizing, we had been warned about the high cost of food and drinks in Reykjavik. So as evening closed in, we stopped at a Vinbuðen (Iceland's state-owned liquor stores) for a bottle of wine.
We enjoyed a glass of inexpensive Chilean merlot in our room, then went prowling for a reasonable dinner.
At the trendy but low-key Laundromat Cafe we found one. We sat at the bar and had sandwiches, fries and — hey, it was vacation! — shots of Reyka vodka ("made with pure Icelandic spring water and filtered through lava rocks").
The bill came to 6,100 Icelandic krona — about $25 per person.
—Day two
Breakfast at Centerhotel Plaza was a feast — artisan breads, salami and cheese, pastries, granola and other cereals, bacon and eggs, plus characteristically Scandinavian delicacies such as pickled herring. Fruit and vegetables are not so plentiful in Iceland, especially in winter, since they have to be imported or grown in greenhouses. We skipped the sad-looking fruit salad and loaded up on orange juice instead.
Our first stop Saturday was Kolaportið, a popular flea market near the waterfront. A trove of tchotchkes, foodstuffs, books, jewelry and clothing, it offered an excellent alternative to pricier shops in the center of town. Vintage-clothing vendors, especially, seemed to do a brisk business with locals and tourists alike. We bought locally produced candy, secondhand Danish jewelry and even Donald Duck comic books — written in Icelandic — as souvenirs.
For lunch on the cheap, we visited Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur on the waterfront, one of the most famous hot-dog stands in the world. ("Bill Clinton ate here," locals are quick to point out, in their impeccable English.) For a little more than $4, we bought two hot dogs slathered in ketchup and a sweet mustard sauce, sitting on a bed of crunchy fried onions. Yum.
Next stop: Culture House, for an exhibit of medieval manuscripts, including original handwritten copies of some of the Icelandic sagas — the stories that relate the exploits of the Vikings who settled the country in the 9th and 10th centuries.
Among them we found the bloody tale of Egill Skallagrimsson, one of my family's distant relatives through marriage. Skallagrimsson reportedly embarked on a life of violence at age 7, when he axed to death a playmate whom he believed to have cheated him.
The grisly history of the Vikings was very much on our minds later that day as we passed through the rugged, windswept lava fields outside Reykjavik on a bus trip to the Blue Lagoon. A more inhospitable environment for a luxury spa is hard to imagine, but that's part of this famed attraction's otherworldly appeal.
Blue Lagoon is a geothermal pool famed for its warm, milky blue waters and natural silica mud masks. Massages and other spa treatments are also on the menu. As a day trip, it's a splurge, costing about $63 for bus and entry, and taking four hours at minimum.
Hundreds of thousands of visitors bathe in its sulfurous pools each year. Some find it an exotic, sensuous experience; others, an overpriced dip in a pungent bath. We landed somewhere in the middle, deeming it a pricey, but unique sensation, not likely to be repeated.
Back in Reykjavik, we dined at Prikið, an unpretentious spot in the commercial center promising traditional Icelandic food. It did not disappoint, especially with a gravlax salad drizzled in vinegar. Prikið is also known as a nightlife destination, with a bar that stays open past 4 a.m.
Reykjavik's famed wee-hours bar scene eluded us on this trip. On this night, we were out till about midnight — just when things tend to heat up, according to the Icelanders we spoke to. At 2 or 3 in the morning, we awoke briefly to the sounds of singing and smashing glass.
—Day three
We devoted our final day in Reykjavik to a visit with relatives. They treated us to a mouthwatering, traditional Sunday dinner — lamb, red cabbage, potatoes, pickled pears and salad — and showed us how to mix Iceland's orange soda Appelsin with a sweet, beerlike brew for a unique, delicious drink.
Our plane wasn't scheduled to leave until 5 p.m., and if we'd had no family visit on our agenda, we could have easily filled a third day with art and natural-history museums, or one of the country's many outdoor pursuits — whale-watching; glacier hikes; or the Golden Circle driving tour past geysers and massive waterfalls.
As it was, those will have to wait for another trip — perhaps a mad, weekend dash in summer, when it's daylight nearly around the clock.
Go to http://www.icelandair.com and click on "Packages" for inclusive deals.
LODGING: Icelandair packages typically include accommodations at a Centerhotel — a small chain of modest hotels in convenient locations scattered throughout downtown Reykjavik. We stayed at Centerhotel Plaza, which featured comfortable, basic furnishings; a full, free breakfast; private baths; and free Wi-Fi — when it worked. We were especially happy with Centerhotel Plaza's location: It sits on a fairly quiet square, while at least some of its sister properties are on streets that are lively and noisy into the wee hours. See http://www.centerhotels.com for more information.
WEATHER: Iceland's maritime climate is milder than you might think, thanks to the North Atlantic Current. That said, the weather is changeable, and in winter, you might find yourself in an ice storm or high winds without much warning. Average temperatures in Reykjavik, January through March, hover around freezing (27 to 36 degrees).
MORE INFORMATION: Official tourism site: http://www.visiticeland.com.
SAVE ON SHOPPING: Iceland has a Value Added Tax, or VAT, that is charged on purchases but may be refunded at the airport when you leave the country, subject to certain limitations. Some tips:
—If you are buying lots of small souvenirs, buy them all in a single transaction, because the VAT is only refunded on purchases above 4,000 krona (about $33).
—Use a credit card instead of cash so that when you receive your refund, it will be applied to your credit card, rather than paid in Icelandic currency. This allows you to avoid having to change krona back into dollars later.
—Avoid the VAT entirely by shopping duty free at the airport before departure. Many of Iceland's most coveted brands are represented at Keflavik airport, including 66o North fashions, Blue Lagoon beauty products, Eymundsson bookstore.

India arrests crew of US ship carrying weapons
NEW DELHI (AP) — Police in a southern Indian port city on Friday arrested the crew of a U.S.-owned ship on charges of illegally transporting weapons and ammunition in Indian waters.
Eight crew and 25 security guards aboard the MV Seaman Guard Ohio were arrested after they failed to produce documents allowing them to carry the weapons, Foreign Secretary Sujata Singh told reporters.
The ship is owned by Virginia-based security company AdvanFort but is registered in Sierra Leone. It was detained Oct. 12 and has been in Tuticorin port in Tamil Nadu state.
The ship's captain told investigators that the company provides armed escorts to merchant vessels traveling in pirate-infested waters in the Indian Ocean.
Police seized 35 automatic weapons and nearly 5,700 rounds of ammunition from the security guards on the ship, police said.
The men were charged with illegal possession of weapons and ammunition and entering India's territorial waters without permission, Singh said.
"The crew and security guards are cooperating with the investigators," she said, adding that information about the case had been shared with representatives from the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi.
The embassy said it had no comment on the matter.
AdvanFort's president, William H. Watson, denied that the ship was navigating in Indian waters.
"The Indian coast guard approached us and asked us to follow them into the port. We would never have entered Indian waters otherwise," Watson said.
He said the company was cooperating with Indian investigators.
The ship had 10 crew members and 25 armed security guards from India, Britain, Estonia and Ukraine. Two of the crew members were not arrested and were allowed to stay on board the ship to carry out maintenance work.
India is very sensitive about the presence of armed security guards on merchant ships after the shooting deaths of two fishermen by armed Italian marines last year. The marines were part of a military security team on a cargo ship when they fired at the fishermen, mistaking them for pirates. The two Italians are facing trial in India for the deaths.

Add to the look with a hen night party sash, shot glass necklace and grille party glasses all in coordinating colours. Let the fun begin with our spin shot drinking game.
Other fun party game ideas include match the celebrity couples – in this game guests are required to pair together the names of real life celebrity couples. A grown-up twist to pin the donkey, is "plant the kiss", in this game a male celebrity face is blown-up and pinned to the wall. Each guest is blind folded, bright red lipstick applied and they are urged to aim kisses at the lips. The winner is the one whose lipstick mark is closest to the mail celebrity's mouth. Finally, there is the old favourite - "Truth or dare". Tell the truth or be punished!
We are sure that our hen party selection from Beth's Party Supplies Shop will make any celebration a memorable one.

Nicholls State got a valuable lesson in its Southland Conference win over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Thursday.
At one point in the second half, the Colonels held a 17-point lead and looked to be cruising to a victory. However, a rash of fouls on both teams stopped the flow of the game and Nicholls started to make poor decisions leading to turnovers and frustration.
The Islanders took advantage of the mistakes and made it a seven-point game with two minutes left to play. Nicholls regained its composure in the final two minutes to hold off the Islanders in a 69-62 win at Stopher Gym.
Nicholls State got a valuable lesson in its Southland Conference win over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Thursday.
At one point in the second half, the Colonels held a 17-point lead and looked to be cruising to a victory. However, a rash of fouls on both teams stopped the flow of the game and Nicholls started to make poor decisions leading to turnovers and frustration.
The Islanders took advantage of the mistakes and made it a seven-point game with two minutes left to play. Nicholls regained its composure in the final two minutes to hold off the Islanders in a 69-62 win at Stopher Gym.
The game was marred by fouls as the teams combined for 52 infractions.
Colonels coach J.P. Piper said his team learned several lessons in the win with one being to stay focused and make the right plays to put a team away.
"We got to learn and I accused them of losing some focus. We were up 17 points and they think it is in the bag, but there is 12 minutes to play. That team isn't going to give up. We let them back in the game when we had a chance to put them away," Piper said. "Look at what we've been through playing the month of December on the road and not winning. We are still learning how to win and I wish we wouldn't be doing that in January, but we are still learning how to win. This team knows better, but in the heat of the battle they make mistakes. Hopefully, we can learn from this and not make those silly mistakes again and I think I'm right about that."
Nicholls (5-12 overall, 4-3 in SLC) built its 17-point second-half lead on the strength of its defense.
The Colonels held a 31-22 advantage at halftime and led 35-27 after the Islanders got a 3-pointer from James King with 17:52 left in the game.
Over the next six minutes, the Colonels held the Islanders scoreless while slowly putting together a 9-0 run for a 44-27 lead.
Fred Hunter (19 points) got it started with a bucket and a 37-27 lead at the 16:38 mark. After Hunter's bucket, a series of offensive fouls were called on both teams, leaving it a 10-point game for the next two minutes. With 14:11 left to play, Jeremy Smith (11 points) broke the scoring drought with a layup and a 39-27 Colonels' lead.
Dantrell Thomas (15 points) converted a three-point play for a 42-27 advantage with 12:58 on the clock and JaMarkus Horace ended the run with a bucket for the 17-point lead with 11:36 left play.
At that point in the game, the Islanders (2-15, 1-6) were just 1-of-7 from the floor, but Johnathan Jordan (18 points) completed a three-point play for a 44-30 score with 10:38 on the clock.
Nicholls kept its double-digit lead for the next four minutes, but the fouls began to pile up sending several starters to the bench.
The Islanders took advantage of the fouls to make 21-of-28 from the free throw line in the game. By shooting free throws, the Islanders found their shooting touch again and eventually made it a 55-46 score after Will Nelson (15 points) sank a 3-pointer with 6:20 left in the game.
Over the next three minutes, the Islanders couldn't get any closer than six points and at the three-minute mark, most of the starters returned for the Colonels.
Once the starters returned, Nicholls began to break the press and either score easy baskets or get to the free-throw line to come away with the seven-point win.
Colonels guard Pedro Maciel, who started for an injured T. J. Carpenter, said the fouls took the Colonels out of its offense, but it is no excuse for letting the Islanders back in the game.
"We got in trouble with fouls and we didn't finish the game well. It is still good to win," Maciel said. "They were calling it tight and we couldn't get out and run. We are not a half court team we like to push the ball. (The fouls) slowed the game a bit."
There was little slowing down the Colonels in building a 31-22 halftime lead.
The Colonels shot 47 percent in the first half and that shooting helped them stretch a 17-15 lead to 28-17 with 1:01 to play before halftime.
Nicholls held a 31-19 lead after Maciel knocked down a 3-pointer, but right before the buzzer, Cole Martinez canned a 3-pointer for the Islanders making it a nine-point difference at the half.
Nicholls played like a band of thieves in its win over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi at Stopher Gym.
The Colonels set a season-high with 21 steals which led to their 17-point win in Thursday's Southland Conference game.
The Colonels previous high this season was 19 steals against Alabama State.
Nicholls coach DoBee Plaisance said she constantly switched her defense to confuse the Islanders which led to 29 turnovers. Those turnovers led to 32 points by the Colonels.
"We forced a number of turnovers, but we need to work on our conversions. We did make some shots, but it could've been a whole lot more than that," Plaisance said. "We threw some different stuff at them with half court traps and at almost every timeout we changed our defense. We didn't want them to get comfortable. They had some athletes that can fill it up, so we didn't want them to get comfortable."
Nicholls held a 35-27 lead to start the second half and quickly pushed it to 44-31 after Alisha Allen scored with 16:20 left to play.
The Islanders (1-17, 0-7) cut the lead to 44-38 with 12:35 remaining after Taryn Gregory made consecutive baskets.
Leading 50-42, Nicholls put the game away with an 11-2 run for a 61-44 lead with 5:21 left to play.
The only time the Colonels trailed was at 3-2 with 18:03 to play in the first half.
Nicholls (12-6, 4-3) eventually took its biggest lead of the first half at 33-20 after Allen made a bucket with 2:42 on the clock.
The Islanders (1-17, 0-7) shot just 39 percent for the game, but they closed the first half on a 7-2 run to make it a 35-27 game at halftime.
Allen led Nicholls with 20 points, while Emani White came off the bench to score 17 for the Colonels. KK Babin finished with 10 points and eight assists for the Colonels and Gregory led the Islanders with nine points.

Dominique Larrey (1766-1842)
Dominique Larrey was Surgeon-in-Chief of the Napoleonic armies from 1797 to 1815. Orphaned at the age of 13, Larrey moved from the Pyrenees in the south of France to Paris, to study medicine. He then served in the navy and army, introducing many new innovations in military surgery.
From the 1700s it was increasingly clear that wounded soldiers needed to be moved away from the battlefield as soon as possible. Otherwise their chances of survival were small. In 1792, Larrey was inspired by seeing weapons mounted on wheels, which meant they could be moved quickly and avoid capture by the enemy. Larrey designed what he called flying ambulances, which were horse-drawn carriages that would take four to six casualties lying down. They were staffed by experienced drivers and stretcher-bearers. Larrey was resourceful; when there was insufficient transport after a battle he commandeered the local wheelbarrows and had civilians push the wounded soldiers to a hospital.
Larrey also improved the mobility of the field hospitals and organised a system of triage, under which the wounded were treated according to their need for treatment and not because they were of noble birth.

The Thai chili sauce does most of the work.
2 long Chinese or Japanese eggplant
1 Tbsp dark soy sauce
2 Tbsp bottled Thai sweet chili sauce (ingredients: palm sugar, red chili, vinegar, garlic, salt, water)
Vegetable oil
Preheat oven to 375 F.
Slice the eggplants in half lengthwise, then on the bias into strips about ½" thick.
Lightly salt the eggplant, set aside for about 20 minutes (I skip this step when I use Japanese eggplant).
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce and chili sauce (optional: add 1 tsp vegetable oil).
Rinse and pat dry your eggplant, and toss eggplant in sauce.
Brush a baking sheet or baking dish with vegetable oil, then pour eggplant onto sheet.
Bake until soft and yummy, usually about 20 minutes but may need longer.
I have frozen and reheated leftovers with no problems.
I'm having a vision. I see this dish in my bento box Real Soon Now!
Thanks for posting :-)
Oooo! Nice, I'll have to try that one. Good job. Eggplant lovers unite!!
That sounds great! I haven't found any nice eggplants lately, so I'll have to try harder!
I tried this with small zucchini and yellow squash in addition to the eggplant and it was great! Thanks for the recipe.
This is a great idea. I braised the eggplant in a donabe and added a bit of sesame oil and garlic. It was good hot for dinner and cold the next day in a bento.
This sounds really good. I love anything with eggplant, and this seems easy to prepare as well.

Dude, i never said it failed to detect anything. It found partitions just fine. I was complaining about the fact that even if I chose to do my own partitioning, the installer would not let me assign mount points because it had assigned those earlier, while it was being "smart"
I would have expected it to "unset" anything it had set and let me do my own thing.
I was also complaining that it would not let me set the drive where I wanted (while still being in manual partitioning mode) to install GRUB. It wanted to go to /dev/sda and that's that.
Also, a virtual machine is not an option. If I want to test how well stuff runs under say, Crossover Games, I would not get very far now, would I.
PS: Any idea on why the heck it assumes that my machine time is in UTC even though the checkbox for this option is not checked ?
Yeah, I know,I did not RTFM...
Strange how some distros manage to make installing fast and almost idiot proof while still allowing for flexibility when it is needed and some make you fight them even while attempting installation. Must be a "for the pros thing".

vir2instruments needed a new print or packaging design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 148 designs submitted by 33 freelance designers.
Big Fish Audio Group
We have been around since the early 90's and have become the industry leader in creating music sample and loop libraries for music producers, musicians, and composers.
We need an eye catching design for a cover of a DVD case. The target customer are hip hop music producers from the platinum producer to the teenager making music in his bedroom.
The title of this project is "Kings of South: Dirty Crunk Kits". The cover concept should have a that title included prominently on it and should be well thought out within the overall design. Also consider the type setting and layout of the title. The theme should have imagery of the hip hop culture and specifically the "dirty south" look.
Here are some links from past contest with similar contest concepts.
The design can be created using any graphics program you like, but we would like final delivery in PSD or PNG format, layered, at 300dpi. Dimensions are 5.1" x 7.2" with 0.125" (1/8") bleed. The use of stock photography is acceptable but we would prefer original design concepts. We aren't looking to break the budget on a piece of stock photography but if it works with the overall design we are looking for and the price is right then we are OK with it. If you choose stock photography, feel free to use the preview (watermarked) image in your mockup, and we will overlook it during the contest's duration, then will purchase it if you are the winner of the contest.
For stock photos of people try not to choose something with a person that is looking right at the camera. We want to promote a feel and imagery but not any specific person as if they are the hip hop artist.

By Tim Furlong and David Chang, NBCPhiladelphia.com
Charges were announced Wednesday morning against a Chester County, Pa., couple accused of running a major dogfighting operation out of their home on Manor Road in West Brandywine.
Prosecutors say Shane Santiago and his wife were running the operation while their five children lived at the home. Officials say the couple raised pit bulls, trained them on treadmills and gave them steroid-type medicines to make them stronger. They then taught the dogs to kill other dogs, according to prosecutors.
Chester County District Attorney Tom Hogan said the couple had the stronger dogs practice on weaker dogs. Dogfighters from other states allegedly came to their home and watched the dogs fight, often to the death. While the winning dogs were taken home, the losing dogs either died in the ring or were killed by the owners, according to prosecutors.
Hogan said officials recovered jumper cables with hair on them in Santiago's basement. Santiago allegedly used the cables to electrocute the dogs.
"The dogs lived by one rule," said Hogan. "Fight and win, or die. At least 10 dogs died by defendant Shane Santiago's hands, and countless more were maimed in these dogfights."

Hogan said authorities were alerted to the possibility of dogfighting in the western part of Chester County when they received reports of dead and mutilated pit bulls along roadsides over the last few months.
Officials originally targeted Santiago as part of a drug operation, which eventually led them to the dogfighting connection, according to investigators. Santiago and his wife were both charged with animal cruelty and child endangerment. They are in custody.

text: Brexit: the options for trade - DLA Piper summary International Trade Alert Share this 19 DEC 2016 By: John Forrest The House of Lords' European Union Select Committee published a report on 13 December 2016, Brexit: the options for trade, the second of six reports to be published by the Committee assessing the risks, opportunities and key issues likely to arise before, during and after the conclusion of the UK's negotiations on exiting the European Union. The Report provides a detailed assessment of the alternative frameworks under which the UK could conduct trade with the EU post-Brexit. The Report challenges the UK Government's public positions with regard to the Article 50 negotiations and the likely shape of any post-Brexit settlement. The clearest recommendation of the Report is that the UK Government should, from the outset, seek a transitional deal thereby allowing negotiations regarding the EU-UK long-term relationship to extend beyond the two year cut-off point under Article 50. The UK's trade as a member of the EU The Report highlights the importance of differentiating between 'access to' and 'membership of' the EU Single Market. Many non-EU countries have 'access to' the Single Market with different levels of tariff and non-tariff restrictions under frameworks including membership of the European Economic Area, Free Trade Agreements with the EU and under World Trade Organisation rules. The trading environment of the Single Market is only available to members, who are required to accept the "four freedoms" of movement of goods, services, capital and people. This contrasts with the UK Government's stated desire to conclude an agreement with the EU post-Brexit to maintain free trade while limiting the free movement of people. In addition, World Trade Organisation rules prohibit the conclusion of trading agreements focused on a single industry, which has been suggested as a means of safeguarding the UK's financial services industry. Membership of the EEA The Report concludes that membership of the European Economic Area would be the least disruptive future framework for UK-EU trade, as Single Market membership for trade in services and partial membership for trade in goods would be retained. Whilst joining the EEA as a non-member of the EU is technically possible, the Report suggests that the mechanics, timing and interplay with the UK's withdrawal from EU membership are unclear. There continues to be significant doubt as to the willingness of remaining EU member states, and other non-EU EEA members, to agree to the UK joining the EEA post-Brexit. Joining the EEA would require the UK to continue to accept the free movement of people from the EU and still comply with around 75% of all EU legislation, under the authority of the European Court of Justice, while losing voting rights and influence over EU rules. The Report is clear that there would be several benefits to such a settlement. As a non-EU EEA member, the UK would be free to conclude FTAs on a bilateral basis with non-EU countries, though this may be limited to tariff reductions on goods. Membership of the EU's Customs Union The Report recommends that the UK Government decides as soon as possible whether the UK should remain a member of the Customs Union, and recommends that the UK Government considers remaining in the Customs Union, at least as part of transitional arrangements. Under a Customs Union arrangement with the EU, similar to the agreement Turkey holds, the UK would be required to adopt EU product standards and regulations for goods, and common customs procedures would be retained. The UK Government's public position has been that it intends the UK to pursue its own independent trade policy post-Brexit and conclude FTAs with non-EU countries. However, as a member of the Customs Union, this would be virtually impossible with respect to goods. There is particular concern that the UK Government has not yet assessed the likely costs, to both business and the taxpayer, of the increased administrative burdens associated with leaving the Customs Union, including customs checks and rules of origin compliance. The Report expresses concern that the UK Government has not given this sufficient consideration in view of the considerable implications of leaving the Customs Union, and recommends they undertake an assessment regarding likely costs to both business and the taxpayer prior to triggering Article 50. A UK-EU Free Trade Agreement The UK Government is urged to seek clarification from the EU that negotiations for the UK's withdrawal from the EU will also include negotiations on any future trading agreement between the UK and the EU post-Brexit. The Report concludes that an FTA with the EU cannot be concluded within two years and that this should be a longer-term objective for the UK Government. It is possible that an FTA would be enforced by the European Court of Justice and the extent of market access may depend on the extent of the UK's willingness to accept the EU's four freedoms. The flexibility of a UK-EU FTA appears attractive, offering greater control over domestic laws and international trade policy. The UK will, however, be prohibited from conducting its own FTA negotiations with non-EU countries during the two year Article 50 negotiation period, and the Report concludes that the UK Government must seek a contingency agreement to ensure reciprocal market access under EU-third country trading agreements continues until the UK can negotiate and replace these with its own trading agreements. Trade under World Trade Organisation rules The Report concludes that trading on WTO rules in the absence of a UK-EU trade agreement would lead to the most significant changes to the UK's trading relationship with the EU. WTO prescribed tariffs would apply to all goods and services and non-tariff barriers would increase greatly, while regulatory measures and product standards largely do not feature among WTO trading rules, except to the extent that the EU's regulations and product standards must be complied with when trading with the EU. If the UK is to have a trade policy independent of the EU it will need to negotiate its schedules of tariffs and concessions at the WTO. The UK has already begun to engage with the WTO and EU on this, but it may encounter political problems in securing agreement from other WTO countries. The Report suggests that dispute resolution mechanisms under WTO rules are slow and cumbersome and cannot take place in national courts. Additionally, the Report suggests that the UK Government would need to establish a UK authority to investigate breaches of trading rules to replace the function of the European Commission. The Government's approach The Report questions whether the UK Government's level of engagement with stakeholders in order to inform their priorities and negotiating strategy with the EU has been sufficient. Further, the Report concludes that the UK Government is currently underestimating the level of resource and capacity required to conduct the Article 50 exit negotiations, negotiate a new trading agreement with the EU and to negotiate new trading arrangements with third countries. The UK Government is urged to provide an estimate of staff numbers required and associated costs to equip the Department for International Trade and the Department for Exiting the European Union with sufficient resources and skills. The Report suggests that the envisaged timetable of triggering Article 50 in March 2017 will put immense additional strain on UK Government resources. Evaluating the frameworks The Report notes that the UK's immediate priorities should be its future trading relationship with the EU and securing its WTO tariff and concession schedules. The Report, without naming individual ministers, implicitly criticises the "have your cake and eat it" philosophy of certain members of the UK Government, concluding that: "the notion that a country can have complete regulatory sovereignty while engaging in comprehensive free trade with partners is based on a misunderstanding of the nature of free trade…the deeper the trade relationship, the greater the loss of sovereignty". The Report argues for the UK Government to seek a transitional agreement with the EU in order to ensure as smooth a transition as possible to a new trading relationship with the EU, whether in the form of EEA membership, an FTA or falling back on WTO rules. A transitional agreement would allow more time to conduct negotiations which would be in the interests of all parties. To this end, the Report recommends that the UK Government should develop a strategy and priorities for such a transitional agreement before Article 50 negotiations begin, in addition to formulating priorities for its long-term trading relationship with the EU. Conclusion The Report suggests that some form of transitional arrangements are essential to avoid the cliff-edge of a drastic change to EU-UK trading relations kicking in in March 2019 and to allow businesses time to adjust to any future changes. UK Chancellor Philip Hammond has suggested that a transitional deal with the EU is required, claiming that such a mechanism is gaining wide support. Although Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union David Davis continues to publicly state that reaching a final settlement with the EU by March 2019 is both possible and desirable, it appears that a cross-party consensus in favour of some form of transitional arrangements is emerging. Whilst business should take some comfort from the UK Government's apparent recognition of the need to avoid a cliff-edge in March 2019, there continues to be significant uncertainty as to UK Government's priorities and its prospect of achieving them in the negotiations.

The new version adds experimental support for CSS sprites. This reduces the page load times (when applicable) and improves the Google's page speed and Yahoo's Yslow scores. There is also a set of back-end code which allows sprites to be created to fit one's needs (if you have only six flags and not 40, why use a 12k image?). This is not yet available – but we can give the correct files to anyone who needs them, just contact us or comment on this post. We would also like to specially thank Marek Fišer for his help with the css which allowed us to get rid of the now useless blank.gif, not only in the css files but also in the translation interface.
A few bugs were fixed in this version, ranging from using livewriter to the problem with returning to the original language in the widget, the change log is your friend here.
Another request – please use our trac (trac.transposh.org) to file bugs, this helps us (and you) get better responses and tracking on bugs progress, and also allows us to avoid duplicate work.

At my wits end...
Greetings all!
I am a newbie to this message board. However, I am not a newbie when it comes to my cat Samson, a DLH, declawed fixed male senior mostly indoor (99% of his life has been indoor) with a few health concerns.
My cat is 14 years old and he's an excellent fellow. He is a large cat but not in the way you are thinking. He measures 24 inches long (yes you read that correctly) and weighs between 9.4kg and 9.9 kg, at least for the past 4 months.
He is an excellent companion to all in his family. He is a little large still for his frame, but we're working on trimming him down, mostly so that he can have a better quality life into his twilight years.
When he was 5, he almost died due to blockage - twice. It was a close call but after a stay at the vet's for about a week, he recovered. He was on a special diet for years, Hill's C/D and it did wonders for him. Until he was fed human food by my parents. Yes, I know its a no-no and I fought with my parents for years about it and only since November 2012, has he been human food free.
I won't bore you with his entire life story, but, I will disclose some information that I feel is important.
He is still overweight and as such, he's on Hill's metabolic dry food. According to my vet, he needs to be around the 7-7.5 kg weight range, in order to offset the pain he experiences from his IVDD. Although not severe, it did cause Samson to develop the hunch back and it definitely did cause him to become constipated from the stress of the pain. And therein lies his two biggest health issues.
I cannot afford to have the surgery to correct the IVDD in his lower back. Part of me doesn't want to do it either, well, because he is old and I know he hates going to the vet, period.
As such, he is on metacam for cats (I know, I know) and he also takes lactulose for his stool issues.
His blood work shows he is in the healthy range for every single measurable, EXCEPT glucose, where, he is slightly low (2.8 mmol/L) versus the healthy range (3.5-9.4 mmol/L).
So, there it is my pet's health history in a nutshell. He still grooms himself regularly, and he does get to go outside in our fenced in backyard with supervision almost everyday for exercise. He is allowed to eat cat grass and its a better option than lawn grass which he used to devour. He also does vomit from time to time but since we've got him on the lactulose, he only vomits 2-3 times a month, which according to my vet is actually "normal."
Can anyone recommend better, safer and healthier option than Metacam? I am also reluctant to take Samson off lactulose until I find a better option for him with respect to that too. Believe me when I tell you, I have spent A LOT of money on my cat from Dec 2012 to just recently. If I didn't love him, I wouldn't have gone to these lengths to help him but I also know that cat lovers and cat owners in the know are good people and any information about healthier options would be greatly appreciated.
Chicken By-Product Meal, Brewers Rice, Corn Gluten Meal, Powdered Cellulose, Dried Tomato Pomace, Flaxseed, Dried Beet Pulp, Chicken Liver Flavor, Coconut Oil, Pork Fat ....Very little actual meat, and tons of cheap filler. Again, a wet food diet consisting of high quality meat-based protein and minimal starch is going to go a lot further towards helping Samson lose weight. More info on that: http://catinfo.org/?link=felineobesity
For constipation, I personally prefer Restoralax over lactulose for cats. Much easier to administer (comes in a tasteless powder that can be mixed with food) and easier on their digestive system. Slippery elm bark powder is also a good choice and can help with hairballs: http://www.littlebigcat.com/health/slippery-elm/
Hope that helps a bit. Good luck to you and Samson, and if you have a pic of the big guy, we'd love to see him!

Thanks sugarcatmom! Wow, you've given me a number of items to consider and in all honesty, I will be probably going this route.
With respect to his crystal issue which hasn't resurfaced by the way, should I get him a canned version of metabolic? I would love to be able to switch him from dry to canned but I feel like he might protest. He is kind of set in his ways. For instance, he feels he can wake me up at 4:30 am and meow his way to a snack. I would like to avoid this very late night/early morning demands so that I can sleep too!
The human food that he was being fed was anything from plain chicken (which I feel is fine) to canned tuna (which I don't think is good or bad) to other stuff like cucumber, ice cream, carrots, etc., etc. He does get to have salmon from time to time and only a little bit, about an inch long.
His vet told me that he can consume 1-1 1/4 cups of dry metabolic daily. Since he is a vet, I never questioned his methods. However, if I try to incorporate Feline's pride or some other reasonable substitute that will allow him to maintain good UT health from your suggestion, I won't know how much wet canned to give him to get him from 9.4kg down to 7-7.4kg safely. I realize that there is a safe way to get him to lose weight and I will have to play with him some more too. The problem with the playing is that he seems to want to dictate what the terms are for playing and when. A little advice would be nice.
Thanks for the Buprenex recommendation. Getting him off this Metacam junk causes me to lose sleep! Now, I live just east of Toronto Ont., and I need to know how to go about getting Buprenex and where and at what cost too.
Also, thanks for the Restoralax recommendation too. Again, where should I go about getting this product for my feline.

@sugarcatmom: Here is the most recent photo of Samson
What a lovely guy Samson is! Such big furry feet.
Water, Pork Liver, Pork By-Products, Corn Flour, Powdered Cellulose, Corn Starch, Chicken, Flaxseed, Tomato Pomace, Natural Flavor, Corn Gluten Meal,
You could also try different types of toys, whether they be wand or fishing rod style, furry balls or mice for tossing, crumpled balls of paper or tinfoil, milk jug rings, etc. Even something like a tunnel he can run through, or a paper bag to pounce on.

I should mention that because buprenorphine is opiod-based, it can cause drowsiness and spacey-ness. Start with as small a dose as possible to deal with the pain without causing too much of a dopey reaction.
And do look into acupuncture if that's an option near you. It could also help with the constipation!

Opiate based? That can't be too healthy. Now I'm not so sure I want to go that route, especially since I asked the vet about it earlier today and he said it was much more expensive than the Metacam option.
Is there a brand of canned cat food that I could start feeding Samson with and also not have his crystals return in the process? I don't want his crystals coming back and I'm sure he doesn't want it either.
I've been doing some reading about switching from dry to canned and eventually raw. This might be a daunting task for my old guy. It seems so much more easier for kittens or young cats and the like. I'm not so confident my guy would adjust so easily, since he's been through a lot. I won't say he's dainty but I do want to go easy on him.
But yes, it is also more expensive. Although so is treating renal failure.

Hi just an experience with the buprenorphine I'd like to pass on.
We had a cat Nasha who had very bad arthritis, to the point of barely getting out of bed. We originally had her on steroids, which I think all they did was put weight on. We moved provinces and our new vet suggested buprenorphine, yes it's very pricy but the difference was amazing. She was up and moving around, a lot more interested in life and actually had a great summer last year, outside basking in the sun and "hunting" bugs...she was 18 and had been on deaths door for about 5 years. The buprenorphine gave her a better quality of life for 6 months than the steroids did for many years. You can always give it a try for a month and see how your kitty does.

I am having good success with Samson regarding switching him from dry to canned food. I think for the short term, I am going to be sticking with the metabolic canned as its composition is vastly different than its dry food counterpart.

Not in the current relaese, but we plan such a option.
The IP's are from various tables in ispconfig.
Thank you.
It would be nice if it was possible to select to only show 5, or 10 ip most used.
I'll add my vote to be able to disable the bloody thing. It's basically harassing me every time I go to update a zone record.

Student Peace Conference features noted scholar on revolution and terrorism
Subscribe to our Newsroom RSS feed | What is RSS?
Follow Loyola University New Orleans on Twitter
Loyola press release - April 16, 2012
Loyola University New Orleans will host its fourth annual Student Peace Conference, an interdisciplinary summit dedicated to global peace, April 16 – 20. This year's conference features keynote speaker Jeff Goodwin, Ph.D., a noted scholar on social movements, revolution and terrorism, in the lecture, "Understanding Occupy Wall Street." All events are free and open to the public. A full schedule is available here.
Goodwin, a sociology professor at New York University, is currently chair of the Collective Behavior and Social Movements section of the American Sociological Association. His book, "No Other Way Out: States and Revolutionary Movements," won the Outstanding Book Prize of the Collective Behavior and Social Movements section of the ASA. He is also the co-editor of "Contention in Context" and "The Social Movements Reader, 2nd ed."
Peace Week aims to increase awareness and educate the community about the fragile nature of global events through student panel presentations, workshops, concerts, theatre productions and lectures from current leaders in the study of peace.
According to Anna Mueller, this year's event chair, society is too often dragged down by the media's focus on violence, despair and atrocity. "While tragic events do indeed happen, they by no means exclude the possibility of hope, renewal and peace," Mueller said. "As such, the Fourth Annual Student Peace Conference is Loyola's response to the current trend of community action, social protest and the universal demand for peace."
Conference schedule (All events are in Audubon Room in the Danna Student Center unless otherwise noted):
Monday, April 16

Page Turner, The (US - DVD R1)
For his 200th review Gabe checks out a sharp, classy, and sexy French thriller...
Mélanie, a ten-year-old, middle class butcher's daughter, is a very gifted piano player. During a very important Conservatory entrance exam Mélanie is distracted by jury member Ariane Fouchécourt, who signs an autograph for a fan. Mélanie fails and never plays piano again. Ten years later, the crafty Mélanie slides her way back into the unsuspecting Ariane's life, and patiently plots her revenge.
"Vengeance is a dish best served cold"
In this case cold as a glacier in the deepest, darkest centre of the Antarctic. The Page Turner ( La Tourneuse de pages) may appear to be moving slow motion a great deal of its run time, but by film's end one realizes it's as taught as a well tuned piano wire. Our villainess is cold and detached as her methods. The film is sharp, sexy and classy, all the tag line you could want from a proper thriller.
The baroque music mixed with a downtrodden modern atmosphere forces the audience to read between the lines on a constant basis. The writer/director Denis Dercourt doesn't feel the need to explain the characters or plot. Things will keep moving whether you're with it or not, and it's this kind of intelligent filmmaking that makes me bristle with excitement.
I'm not a good enough film fan to be familiar with the filmmakers or stars, including the young lead Déborah François, who is so heart-stoppingly sexy at some points in the film it's almost distracting (and the accent doesn't hurt). I am more than a little curious now about her other work, and the work of Dercourt, who apparently won great acclaim for his third film Lise et André in 2000.
The film's insistence on class may turn some viewers off, and I'll admit it overplays its hand on occasion. Vengeance is a bit of an overdone film concept as well, but this one is so different without being unfamiliar. I also admit the plot hinges on quite a few coincidences, but some are easily explained when one simply thinks in the terms the film has given François' character. I really don't want to go into the plot's intricacies for the sake of readers that will want to see the film. It's not that there's some kind of huge twist or unexpected final outcome, but the joy of watching the film is the squirm inducing dread of where are modern film watching sensibilities tell us this story is going to end.
The finale could put a damper on things for some, but those familiar and respectful of with the work of Michael Haneke (specifically Cache) could find much worse ways to spend eighty minutes of their life.
The Page Turner appears to be an interlaced transfer. Combing and other interlacing effects aren't awful, but present. Colours are a bit washed out, but it appears that this was part of the filming style. Details could stand to be a little sharper, and do suffer from a bit of blocking. Edge enhancement is also a problem, as is some bleeding (check the actress' face against the sky in my last screen cap).
The overall soundtrack is very subtle and quiet, with the obvious exception of the musical sequences. This silence is cut (very slightly) by audible hiss when these subtle sound effects come in. The music is lush and thick, and changes its sound depending on venue quite gracefully. When played in an auditorium, the music dances through the surround channels, which are relatively quiet for the rest of the film.
The only real extra is a making-of featurette. With-in it we find out that Dercourt is very familiar with music himself—very, very familiar. We also learn that the actors are not so familiar with music. Cheaters! If one looks closely one can see that the often the fingering doesn't match up to the music, which totally doesn't matter, but it's interesting to see the behind the scenes process of muting instruments and faking it, even if it isn't really talked about all that much. For a relatively brief thirty-eight minutes, the doc covers pretty much everything you could possibly want to know about the feature.
The disc also features a trailer, and trailers for other Tartan USA dramatic releases (and because it isn't an Asia Extreme release I didn't have to sit through that unskippable studio promo that I hate so much).
There are no lofty ideas or earth shattering revelations here, just a simple and well-told story. Think of it as a classic Pam Grier blaxploitation film for high class, French, aristocratic music snobs. It finds its way to the same resolution through more subtle means. Not everyone's cup o' tea and biscuit with caviar, but those willing to take a break from the hustle, bustle, and big bang of the summer's biggest theatrical releases should be happy.

wow man you're tough on movies, other critics would probably give this a 9 or something
and does this mean you'll stop reviewing horror movies and anime and only focus on erotic cinema, because if that's the case then I'm all for it

I just review what they give me Mike. I try to hold fast to my 8s, 9s, and 10s, and reserve them for movies that really move me and that I want to see again. This is an amazing film, but I don't see myself watching it again any time soon. I give 7s to honestly great stuff like this, and not so great movies I'll be watching over and over (like Circle of Iron or Razorback).

PHILADELPHIA — Sloppy performances and poor communication plagued the Bears in their two previous road games.
They struggled to get out of their own way in losses in New Orleans and Detroit, setbacks that put them in a hole during the first half of the season. But the improvements since then — and the benefit of a week off — showed Monday at raucous Lincoln Financial Field on a gorgeous evening for football.
Facing the high-powered Eagles offense led by Michael Vick, a player they've corralled in the past, the 8-point underdog Bears made enough plays to pull out a 30-24 victory, improving to 5-3 and keeping them in the thick of the NFC playoff race.
The Bears are now 4-0...

Russian Classical Music
Russia has a long history of classical music innovation. In XVIII century, during the reign of Empresses Elisabeth and Catherine, the Russian imperial court attracted many prominent musicians of the time. They brought here their traditions of opera and classical music in general, to inspire future generations of Russian composers. The first important Russian composer was Mikhail Glinka (1804-1857), who composed early Russian operas Ivan Susanin and Ruslan and Lyudmila. Another prominent Russian composer was Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, best known for ballets like Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, and The Nutcracker. He remains the best known outside Russia, and his fame as the country's most famous composer is unquestioned. Late XIX and early XX century saw the third wave of Russian classics: Stravinsky, Scriabin, Sergei Prokofiev and Shostakovich. They were experimental in style and musical language. In the late XIX-early XX centuries, romances (in exotic Russian, Caucasian, Gypsy and Italian styles) became very popular. The greatest and most popular singers of romances usually sang in operas at the same time. The most popular was Fyodor Shalyapin. Singers usually composed music and wrote the lyrics, such as Alexander Vertinsky, Konstantin Sokolsky, Pyotr Leshchenko.

James B. McPherson, in full James Birdseye Mcpherson, (born Nov. 14, 1828, Sandusky county, Ohio, U.S.—died July 22, 1864, near Atlanta, Ga.), Union general of the American Civil War about whose death General Ulysses S. Grant is reported to have said, "The country has lost one of its best soldiers, and I have lost my best friend."
After graduation from West Point at the head of the class of 1849, McPherson was commissioned in the Corps of Engineers and held minor army assignments until the outbreak of the Civil War (1861). Following several months with General H.W. Halleck in Missouri, he was assigned to General Grant's staff as chief engineer in the Tennessee campaign and, after distinguished service at the battles of Shiloh, Tenn., and Corinth, Miss., was promoted to major general of volunteers. He participated in the second advance on Vicksburg, Miss. (1863), and, after the city fell, was promoted to brigadier general in the regular army. In March 1864 he took command of the Army of the Tennessee, which moved against Atlanta under General William T. Sherman's supreme command. Shortly after reporting to Sherman, the youthful officer was killed by a Confederate skirmisher.

Hotline Miami is the sort of game that is unabashedly Not For Everyone. But it IS for people who like awesome things, and so it's heartening to hear that it has sold well.
Speaking with Eurogamer, Hotline Miami creators Jonatan "Cactus" Söderström and Dennis Wedin revealed that the game has sold 130,000 copies since its release a couple months ago.
That may not sound like a lot, but for a small indie team, it's fantastic. Unfortunately, piracy was still a big issue. "It has been torrented to such a staggering level," project manager Graeme Struthers told Eurogamer, "and given the file size of it, I mean, you can't really be surprised, right? You could pass this thing around on the world's smallest memory stick. So it has been torrented to extraordinary levels."
Still, nice to see such a different, fun game find success. Check out more info about the game (which is currently en route to Mac) at Eurogamer.
