But which is the real one?). The Mercato Centrale (Central Market) is dedicated to all that is delicious in Italian cuisine.
The Renaissance church of San Lorenzoprovides the backdrop to a bustling street market. The traders don't like to haggle but it's definitely worth trying (cashmere lined leather gloves, anyone?).

Sorry for the dullness, but I find myself wondering how others are handling their games, especially considering daft download prices and tiny memory cards.
I had it in my head that I'd download all my games on to a single memory card, to carry my entire library with me at all times.
Having quickly filled up my 16GB card, I'm torn between the faff of swapping between memory cards (and continuing to download at mainly extortionate prices) and just buying future titles on game card (physical copy for less, and swappable).
I might just have answered my own question there! Thoughts?
Game Card vs Download, and Memory Cards!

I've got a 32GB card which has on it:
-Uncharted, Disgaea, Everybody's Golf, Wipeout, Dynasty Warriors, Ninja Gaiden and that freebie puzzle game on it Vita-wise
-Persona 3, Spectral Souls, Tactics Ogre, Gods Eater Burst, Z.H.P., Harvest Moon, Dissidia 012, Disgaea Infinite, Zenonia, Numblast, Urbanix and Jewel Keepers on it PSP-game-wise
-a few of those free apps
-a bunch of anime episodes
The card still has 10GB on it apparently, which seems pretty reasonable considering the amount that I have on there, a lot of which I could easily take off if space became an issue. The only physical game I own at the moment is Shinobido (the save data is on the card so it's not going anywhere!) and I'm really happy with this setup.
If I want to buy a Vita game that has replay value like the ones above then I'll probably get it digitally. I'll probably save my card buys for import games, games I'm not completely sure I'll like or ridiculously cheap offers.
This is partly influenced by the fact that I traded in a crazy amount of old games a little while back and ended up with over �200 in PSN vouchers though.
Actually, just seen Resistance is going to be �40 on the PSN, which is silly, although it seems to have encouraged the retailers to put their prices up to �35.
I tend to play a game, complete it and then (with a few exceptions) never return to it, so buying at retail isn't an issue. Furthermore, it's not as if the Vita game cards are very big...
Don't forget that Vita games are rent-able.

Errr, Vita doesn't use MS Duo. PSP did.
Me too. No one complains about the difference in the price of the iphone given the only difference in them is the memory.
Best by far. I can honestly say i have not touched my xbox or ps3 for about three months. Have only played vita. Certainly makes up for the 70 quid i paid for 32gb card on release day.

The Vita is an amazing handheld but then, that's how I felt (still feel) about my PSP too. I only use the PS3 when I'm gaming with my wife or friends. All other gaming time is spent on handhelds (not including the Apple devices which do NOT compare) and it has been that way for me for many years now.

Exactly help me, people just find fault with the vita for no good reason and it really pisses me off. It happens to be the best hand held on the market with a great selection of games so far and yet people cry about nothing.
People's problems with the VIta are completely legit and understandable. You might not agree but I can't see why you can't empathise.
As for "a great selection of games", well that's subjective, but I don't think people disagree with that too much. It's the sparsity of quality releases since the launch period that bothers people, as well as the perhaps somewhat lacklustre future line-up. The latter is my personal issue with the console - there is next to nothing coming out for it that I really want apart from AC3: Liberation. For me the Vita had a great launch, very little until Gravity Rush and absolutely nothing since it (which is true for all consoles since Gravity Rush came out actually).
Even the most ardent members of the SDF should understand why people have a problem with the software and the price of accessories (why did I have to pay for a screenwipe, wrist strap etc when the PSP came with them in the box?).

I have a 32GB card with plenty of stuff and still have around 15GB free. I'll try to buy physical copies of the games that I know will take only 5-15 hours to complete and anything beyond that as digital.
I never trade in games but I have a habit that when I put a cart inside it will stay there for a long time. That's why I try to buy digitally any >15h game and all sports titles and stuff that I play often but have long stops between playing. Persona 4 is a definite digital purchase as it will take me months to complete.
Feel bad about importing MLB12 as that's a game that would be perfect to have as digital and actually might double dip to get the digital version. I played it for about a month already without any other cart getting turn so I didn't touch Uncharted in that time although I'm only halfway through.

I got a 4gb card free with mine, Uncharted filled it, waste of time. had to delete it, including games save to play another game.... excellent
Bought an 8gb from GAME using credit note when I thought they were shutting down, they had no 16gb and the 8gb cost me 35 quid, fucking joke. Got a few games on there and thats full.
Bought Unit 13 for silly money off PS store, takes up a huge amount of room and I never play it, want to delete it but dont want to delete the game save (you can transfer the lot to your PS3 or PC but in practice, it took about an hour or more to transfer Uncharted to my ps3, too much like hard work)
The only game I'd want on memory card would be Everybodys golf, which I bought the physical copy of for 30 quid... I'd buy the 11.99 PSN version but there seems to be no way to keep my game save, its so fucking stupid.
Anyway, fuck the memory cards and fuck PSN.
The big problem now is these games having 200mb patches, even games youve bought on cartridge, taking up extremely expensive memory card space.
I wont be buying another PSN game until I can get a 32gb card for 20 quid.
Rant over.

At �199 for a wifi model and a 64GB card, i'd insta buy this, even though i have no real use for it, and would trust the decent games to come later down the line.
The memory cards are shockingly expensive - �44.99 for 16GB?! I know you can find them floating around for a shy under forty pounds, but still ... it only makes the whole PS Vita experience too dear for a vast majority of people.
I was chuffed to get my PS Vita (Wi-Fi) along with a 8GB memory card and Lumines for �219 on day one and that really should have been the standard way of buying it.
Oh well, just speaking my mind!

Tribe Happenings: So many lefties do not make a right
Some news, notes, and thoughts from my Indians notebook…
Serious miscalculation
The Indians decided to go with a very heavy left-handed dominant lineup in the offseason. Their reasoning was that over 70% of the pitching in the league is right-handed, so it was something that they felt they could maximize with a ballpark that favors left-handed hitters and to also have a lineup that can really excel against right-handed pitching.
Currently they are 5-14 against left-handed starters and when facing lefties they are last (14th) in the American League in batting average (.217), OPS (.634), BAIBP (.252), wOBA (.283), and 13th in isolated power (.113). In contrast, they are 32-19 against right-handed starters and when facing a righty they are 5th in batting average (.267), 4th in OPS (.750) and wOBA (.328), 5th in BABIP (.300), and 10th in isolated power (.146).
They have indeed maximized their performance against right-handed pitching, but they very susceptible to left-handed pitching. It doesn't matter if it is C.C. Sabathia out there or a young minor leaguer making his Major League debut, the Indians struggle against lefties of all size, shape, form and experience.
But the problem with their lineup setup in the offseason is the human element was left out of their reasoning. While the numbers do show that – in general - teams will mostly throw right-handed pitching against a team over a season, it did not take into consideration how teams would adjust and matchup to a team that is so left-handed heavy and lacking any real right-handed threats off the bench.
If you have been watching the games this season, you notice that the Indians are seeing more left-handed pitching than they would normally see. They have actually seen right around that expected 70% of right-handed pitching as expected, but that is deceiving as without their left-handed heavy lineup that may actually be seeing close to 80% of right-handed pitching to date.
The reason for this is because of their lineup construction teams have been throwing lots of lefties against them both in spot starts and also in long relief out of the bullpen. With a more conventional lineup that is balanced, they may have faced a considerable less amount of lefties up to this point.
While the problem is glaring now, it is really going to show itself in crucial games and potentially in a playoff series when teams construct their rotation and bullpen to include more left-handers than they normally would. When crunch time comes, what kind of pitching do you think the Indians will face? If the Indians ever make the playoffs, their opponent likely will have some pitching depth and will setup their staff against them for the series with a lot of left-handed pitchers.
The all dominant left-handed hitting lineup would not be so bad if the Indians had suitable right-handed hitting replacement options off the bench, whether to start against left-handed pitching or to pinch hit late in games to counter a team bringing in a left-handed pitcher. At the moment the likes of Shelley Duncan and Aaron Cunningham are not cutting it on the bench, and I would not be surprised to see both players replaced by the end of July when the Indians maybe pick up a few right-handed bats in a trade.
Right now the Indians have a seriously flawed lineup that when they face right-handed pitching plays well, but is nonexistent against lefties. The fault lies with them for constructing it that way in the offseason, but they have a chance to make things right by getting a couple of right-handed bats between now and the end of July to better complement and balance the lineup. If they do this, then they may finally find some consistency as an offense and the team may begin to take off.
Walk this way
Indians hitters are still drawing a good amount of walks as they are 2nd in the American League with 252 walks, only three behind league leading Tampa Bay who has 255. The walks have helped offset their poor team batting average which is .251 and 9th in the American League, and with the walks their team .327 on-base percentage is good for 5th in the American League. The key to the Indians success as an offensive unit is predicated on their ability to put up consistent, patient at bats.
On the flip side of things the Indians pitching staff has the 3rd most walks allowed in the American League with 245 walks. This is a problem because they do not have a pitching staff that racks up strikeouts as they are 12th in the American League with 452 strikeouts, and they also give up a lot of hits as their .258 batting average against is 10th best in the American League.
The major culprit in all of this is the Indians' starting rotation as their 162 walks as a unit are 2nd most in the American League, their .270 batting average against is the 4th highest in the American League, and their 254 strikeouts are the 13th best in the league.
The backend of the Indians bullpen has certainly saved the Indians. While the bullpen as a whole has allowed the 4th most walks in the AL (83), they have the ability to miss bats as they are 6th in the AL in strikeouts (198), and they do a better job of inducing weak contact as they are 6th in the AL with a .232 batting average against.
It may seem academic, but for the Indians to maintain success all season and have a chance of winning the division they need their starting rotation to get much better at limiting the free passes. If they do that then there could be a sudden improvement in the overall quality of their starts as a whole, something we have seen of late with the improvement of Justin Masterson and Ubaldo Jimenez, two guys that up until recently were plagued by high walk totals and having trouble commanding the zone.
With a starting staff that pitches to contact and gives up a higher than normal percentage of hits, when you throw a high walk rate into the mix it is like adding gasoline to a fire. It is just a bad combination that leads to a bad outcome more times than not. The Indians like to get hitters to put the ball in play and pound it into the ground, but they can ill afford to continually help opposing teams out by giving them free passes to a base without having them put the ball in play.
Considering their high walk rate to go along with a poor strikeout rate and high hit rate, it is amazing the Indians have done as well as they have so far in the win column because inconsistent pitching like this typically leads to a lot of losing, especially when you do not have an offense that can cover up those issues. Hopefully they can turn it around before the problem rears its ugly head.
Infirmary report
The Indians have several key pieces on the disabled list and working to get out of the trainers' room and back onto the field.
Designated hitter Travis Hafner is probably the closest of all the injured Indians to returning to game action. He started jogging and doing agility exercises this week and has been taking batting practice for a while now. The initial prognosis when he had surgery on his right knee on May 31st was that he would be out for four to six weeks, but if he responds well to the running program he could soon be sent out for a rehab outing. He would probably only need two or three games before he is deemed ready, and there is a chance he could go on that rehab assignment and be back in the Indians lineup within the next two weeks.
Left-handed pitcher Rafael Perez is still on a throwing program that he just recently resumed after a minor setback. He is currently working on rebuilding his arm strength via a long toss program. Considering he has to progress through flat grounds, bullpens sessions, and potentially a sim-game or two, he does not appear to be anywhere close to a return.
Right-handed pitcher Carlos Carrasco is currently in the early stages of throwing off of a mound in his return to throw program from Tommy John surgery. This week he will accompany the team when they travel to New York so he can get a checkup on his right elbow with Dr. David Altcheck, the doctor that performed the surgery. He is also scheduled to throw a bullpen this week, though that is not a signal he is close to a return as he is still not expected to pitch for the Indians this season. There is an outside chance he could get a few innings in during September when rosters expand, but if he pitches any innings this year I am willing to bet they come at an Indians minor league affiliate or in an offseason league.
Outfielder Grady Sizemore is still only taking batting practice and throwing. He has yet to dive into a running program to test out his back. There is no timetable on his return, but he appears to be a long way away from a minor league rehab assignment. Considering the Indians will likely give him all or close to the full 20 days of a minor league rehab assignment to get him back into game shape, he probably is not an option until at least the end of July, if even then.
A tale of two cities
The Cleveland Indians and Cincinnati Reds recently completed their home and home series over the last week and a half and split the series at three games apiece with the home team sweeping each three game series.
The Reds are 38-31 and in first place in the NL Central and have a good team; however, they have made the playoffs just one time since 1995 (2010) and have finished with a winning record just three times since 1995 (1999, 2000, 2010).
By the same token, the Indians are 37-32 and in first place in the AL Central. They have made the playoffs six times since 1995 (1996-1999, 2001, 2007) and had a winning record in eight seasons (1996-2001, 2005, 2007). Even if you exclude the Indians' winning playoff seasons from 1996-2001, the Indians still have one recent playoff appearance in 2007 to match the Reds over that time period.
The point is the Indians have had much more success over the past 18 seasons than the Reds, and just as much success recently. Yet the Reds are drawing about 9,000 more fans a game than the Indians.
In the recent series in Cincinnati between the Indians, the Reds drew 24,758 on Tuesday June 12th, drew 27,428 on Wednesday June 13th, and drew 34,194 on Thursday June 14th. Just a few days later, and on almost the same days of the week, the Indians hosted the Reds in Cleveland this past week and drew 19,948 on Monday June 18th, drew 17,213 on Tuesday June 19th, and drew 23,544 on Wednesday June 20th.
They are almost the same teams with the same records and same recent success, yet one team is getting a much stronger following than the other. While I will agree that it helps to have name stars on your team like Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips, this disparity looks to be based mostly on a poor economy as Cincinnati's is much better than Cleveland's, and probably most importantly, apathy toward ownership as the fans do not trust nor like Indians ownership while from I gather the Reds fans have confidence in their ownership.
If the Indians could somehow drum up the support the Reds get then their financial situation would be so much better, but the problem is getting that support.
All Star consideration
We are about two weeks away from the announcement of which players are named the starters for the All Star game and also the reserves selected by the manager. At the moment the Indians have a few worthy All Stars.
Right-handed closer Chris Perez should be a lock to make the team. Entering play on Saturday he was 0-1 with a 2.54 ERA and his 23 saves lead all of baseball. After blowing a three-run lead in the season opener, he has since converted 23-of-23 save opportunities and been one of the biggest keys to the Indians' success up to this point in the season.
Shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera should also be a lock to make the team. Among American League shortstops he ranks 2nd in batting average (.300), 2nd in home runs (9), 2nd in RBI (33), 1st in on-base percentage (.385), 1st in slugging percentage (.492), and 1st in OPS (.877). His .877 OPS is 96 points better than the second ranked shortstop Derek Jeter who has a .781 OPS, which shows how good Cabrera has been offensively this season, and why he should be a lock to make the team.
The Indians have two other players worthy of consideration in second baseman Jason Kipnis and right-handed setup man Vinnie Pestano.
I think Pestano should make the team, but I have no say in the matter. It is tough for setup men to get to an All Star game since most of the bullpen is made up of closers, but he might just get consideration as he has become one of the best setup men in the game. In 31 appearances this season he is 3-0 with a 1.86 ERA, and has racked up 35 strikeouts in 29.0 innings.
Kipnis has the toughest odds as he plays at a position loaded with stars in the American League with the likes of Robinson Cano, Ian Kinsler, and Dustin Pedroia. But Kipnis has outperformed most of those stars (sans Cano) as among American League second basemen he ranks 2nd in batting average (.280), 2nd in home runs (11), 1st in RBI (41), 1st in stolen bases (17), and 2nd in OPS (.775). It depends on how the voting shakes out and if a third second baseman is taken as Cano will likely be the starter and Rangers manager Ron Washington will surely take his guy Ian Kinsler.
Parting shots
There are several reports out that the Indians are still interested in acquiring first baseman Kevin Youkilis from the Red Sox. Youkilis is available, but the hang up for any trade is how much the Red Sox are willing to pay of his remaining pro-rated $12 million salary for this season and what the Indians (or any team) would have to give up to acquire him. … On Thursday the Indians parted ways with former 2007 first round pick first baseman Beau Mills when they traded him to the Reds for cash. He had been relegated to the bench with Matt LaPorta and Russ Canzler sharing first base duties at Triple-A Columbus, so the Indians did him a favor to find him a team where he could get a chance to play. … Major League Baseball announced their Futures Game roster this week, which is a collection of the best up and coming talent in the minors that plays in an exhibition game over the All Star break. Two Indians prospects were named to the World team: shortstop Francisco Lindor and first baseman Jesus Aguilar.

They tried to get Lee or Beltran in the off-season but couldn't get it done.
They kind of got stuck with a left-handed lineup. I don't think it was the plan.
But now they need to do something. Youkilis would not be an upgrade. The guy they need to get is Carlos Quentin, but I don't think that's possible.
Fangraphs has Youkilis at -0.1 WAR this year, baseball reference +0.1, I think you can safely say his performance has been replacement level, but only because he's been primarily playing the 3b, at 1b his value would be even lower. Youk's got a .670 OPS this year, again, Laporta signficantly outperformed that last year.
I also think the fans have lost confidence in the front office, with this LH issue being another contributor. They are slow to act, (or re-act) to these types of situations, and pay for them dearly. They need some big changes, and they need them NOW !!!!
I know that's what's coming down from the front office...but I think it's poor "planning" and not addressing needs through the draft and through free agency.
This is what we're left with, and I attune it to going into a grocery store hungry. You come out with a bunch of junk, and none of it fits together the right way.
So, you sell it as percentage based...
Just another strike against a front office...
I would like to see McAllister called up to replace Gomez immediately. In his short time up earlier, McAllister pitched better than pretty much everyone on the staff. His ERA was good, his peripherals were better, and he really limited the walks. I also think he simply has more talent than Gomez.

We are proud to welcome the skyliners, passionate fans of the mountains, highlining, mountaineering, base jumping and paragliding, to our team. In 2010, they crossed paths with the video-maker Seb Montaz who made the film "I believe I can fly (Flight of the Frenchies)". In just a few days, the video was all over the web, allowing the public to discover this new discipline. Interview with one of them, Antoine Moineville, to find out more.
The term highline is regularly used in English-speaking countries to describe a line or cable stretched at height between ships or from the port to transfer goods or equipment. Today, it is one of the many practices in a recently developed sporting discipline known as slackline. Just like tightrope walking, the aim is to walk while keeping your balance on a slightly elastic cord suspended between two trees, two mountains, two skyscrapers, etc. But practising highline is primarily a state of mind, a quest for total balance and going beyond your limits at a height of 5, 10, 200 m or even higher!
Interview with Antoine Moineville, one of the members of Team Skyliners.
How did you get interested in the discipline?
Antoine Moineville: At the age of 22, I suddenly decided to give up my studies and devote myself entirely to my passion for the mountains. In 2009, I discovered slackline in Fontainebleau. A year after that, I crossed my first highline alongside Julien Millot, Sébastien Brugalla and Tancrède Melet. After the Verdon gorges the Mont Blanc massif became an ideal place to explore how to open lines in the middle of the sky. For example, the Dent du Géant in winter, the Aiguilles du Diable, Envers des Aiguilles, Grépon, Aiguille de la République and so on. The Skyliners team was born and constantly expanded its horizons both in cities and the mountains, in distant countries and in new worlds. My aim is to share my passion for mountaineering, create bridges between different worlds and stimulate my creativity and curiosity.
What does it feel like when you're on the wire?
AM: It's living in the present moment, step by step. How can you feel more immersed in the natural elements than perched on the summit of a mountain balancing on a wire, your head in the clouds...?
What sunglasses do you recommend for highlining?
AM: It's all about your vision and focus. You need extreme concentration not to stumble and to keep such a precarious sense of balance, where you have to forget the cloud that's breaking up on the wire, the sun that's dazzling you, the wind that's pushing you. You have to fix on that point just ahead of you, with your eyes, your head and your body. I use Treks which stay firmly on my face and are light so that I can completely forget them and get into the zone.
What are your plans for 2013?
AM: We have plans around slackline, which for us is a way of creating bridges between different disciplines, different worlds and different generations.And then there's also Skyline, a discipline we invented and where it's all to play for! More than just highlining in the mountains, it's also a new form of mountaineering. The term will be made official in our next film that's coming out in June...

Saying the stimuli are going destroy this country is just wrong. It's what happened before the stimuli that will destroy it, as well as neither party sitting down and compromising on key issues.
It's simply not the stimuli that are going to bring our economy down. There are much bigger problems. Plus, no country is every going to own us. That's just fear mongering. We can always print a bunch of money and pay back the loans. It will lead to massive hyperinflation, but our debts would be repaid. Our economy is #ed with capital F, but saying a country will own us is fearmongering. And makes me wonder why they would release that commercial, and with what intent.
Plus, our army is way too powerful. If a country tried to take us over, they'd have a dozen nukes headed to their major cities.
I imagine the main reason for the ad, is to prepare people to attack China, after we attack Iran and Syria and they don't take it kindly.edit on 5-11-2012 by Ghost375 because: (no reason given)

"Walk in the house, take your shoes off. It sounds simple, but after a hard day's work, stopping on your way to the couch sounds like a pain. Instead, think of it as a way to save yourself from extra dusting duty. Even a few scuffs on the doormat won't keep dirt, dust and grime from being tracked into your home on your shoes.
Stepping out of your kicks helps you chill out, too. When you take off your shoes, you'll physically signal that the day is over and you can relax. Sold? Make things easier by placing a basket by the front door to catch shoes or lay out a mat to set dirty or wet shoes on as soon as you step inside."

Nina Bradley Clarke: Why We Have a "No Shoes" Rule In Our House (and You Should Too)
"So where does this bacteria come from? Mostly from the feces we walk on left behind by birds, dogs, and humans (from public restrooms…OMG…gross). 96 percent "of coliform and E. coli bacteria on the outside of the shoes indicates frequent contact with fecal material, which most likely originates from floors in public restrooms or contact with animal fecal material outdoors. Our study also indicated that bacteria can be tracked by shoes over a long distance into your home or personal space after the shoes were contaminated with bacteria," said Dr. Charles Gerba, a microbiologist and professor at the University of Arizona.
But bacteria isn't the only thing your shoes can bring into your house. Chemicals and toxins like pesticides can also make their way into your home from the chemicals that are found on lawns. Other chemicals include coal tar from asphalt roads and gasoline from rainwater. If you have pets or children at home, they are the ones who are at greater risk of exposure since they are the ones who are crawling and laying on the floor."

Understanding my Sign
I went to a restaurant with some neighbours from my apartment block yesterday evening. I invited them back to mine for drinks afterwards. One lady acknowledged the sign on my door and said she would take her shoes off. She obviously understood it.
A few people have said they can't understand my sign because it is in German. That surprises me. I never studied German at school, but I knew 'bitte' means please. There are pictures of shoes on the sign and one might guess that 'schuhe' means shoes. I don't think it should take any great intelligence to conclude that it means 'please take off your shoes.'
Not that it matters; I am quite happy to ask people politely to remove their shoes.

The Real Housewives of Auckland Episode 2
Some inane reality show from New Zealand. In this episode this group of socialite ladies visit another wealthy lady who has a no-shoes rule to protect her marble floors. Good for her. Marble floors are strong, but they can still get scratched or marked.
The ladies seem surprised and bothered at being asked to remove their shoes. I had the impression that removing shoes in homes was at least slightly more common in New Zealand than here in the UK and a lot of NZ people like going barefoot, but evidently not Kiwi ladies with lots of money.

@celestialhost What's with no-shoes rules? I can't understand. Are your people do not take off their shoes at home? It's strange a bit....— Viktoria (@Ukropo4kA) October 8, 2016
@Ukropo4kA British are not always as sensible as Ukrainians. Some people here stomp around homes with their shoes on.— Matthew Clarke (@celestialhost) October 8, 2016
@celestialhost Oh. It's not abt British or Ukrainians, ect. It's about hygienics. And it's normal to take off the shoes at home 😉— Viktoria (@Ukropo4kA) October 8, 2016
@Ukropo4kA It ought to be normal, but some British require a bit of education. But removing your shoes here is more common than in Spain.— Matthew Clarke (@celestialhost) October 8, 2016
@celestialhost Well... In Ukraine it's normal, but I'm sure there're some people with such a problem too. Continue your mission 👍☺— Viktoria (@Ukropo4kA) October 8, 2016
This Ukrainian lady was baffled by the concept of a no-shoes rule, as from her experience, removing your shoes was what everyone does in an home. A shoes-off policy to her is presumably like having a 'no peeing on the carpet policy,' one just wouldn't do that.

Does New Jersey take off their shoes when entering someone's house?
Generally positive answers. It's a bit of a myth that Americans always keep their shoes on in homes.
Daily Mail: Take your shoes off, leave suitcases at home and don't ever shout: How to make it look like you belong on a superyacht
by Caroline McGuire
Rupert Wakeley from Cosmos Yachting said: 'You should always remove your shoes before boarding the yacht, unless the Captain or owner says you may leave them on.
'There's an unwritten rule that you avoid shoes with marking soles or heels as they damage the teak decks, and boat shoes, such as deck shoes, are the preferred footwear onboard.'

Gary Brevko ReviewsPosted by admin, under
Gary Brevko has an extensive background in sales and marketing for several world-class companies such as Komatsu America and Ingersoll-Rand, providing capital equipment for some of the largest construction and transportation projects in the United States. While working with clients on those major real estate projects, Gary began studying the potential of investing in real estate and started buying foreclosed property. Gary is a full time real estate investor and lives in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Seven years ago he formed a system of buying EQUITY RICH FORECLOSURE PROPERTY. Gary focuses on finding equity rich real estate. His company has followed over 25,000 properties through the foreclosure process, individuals facing foreclosure are very motivated and don't have time to sell by traditional methods. To find the very best deals, he buys all types of property in all stages of foreclosure.
The KEY to his success is the way he finances property. He funds almost all acquisitions with PRIVATE MONEY. When you utilize OPM (other people's money), you will have instant profits when you buy. He avoids traditional finance methods which require down payments, closing costs, and rehab expenses that create a huge cash flow problem.
Gary says "Win big when you invest in foreclosures and win bigger when you fund them with private lenders. With my business model I don't have to purchase 10-15 properties per month to make a great living. That's a lot of work and most people can't find that many good deals a month. I prefer to purchase the best 3-4 that I can find with large equity spreads of 30%-40% after repairs are completed. I finance the deal with private money which means NO MONEY OUT OF POCKET and I GET PAID WHEN I BUY. Yes, with Private Money, I get a check at closing.

NEWS SUMMARIES Waukesha County
2 police officers pull man from burning homeTwo Brookfield police officers were credited with saving the live of an 84-year-old man trapped inside his burning house.
Following screams for help at 1:15 a.m. Tuesday in the 17300 block of Bedford Drive, Officer Richard Tank found Kenneth Petry with his face pushed up against a window screen gasping for air as black smoke poured out of the window.
Tank was the first on the scene after Elaine Petry, 81, escaped the house and called 911.
Tank, an officer for a little more than a year, couldn't pull Kenneth out the window, which was more than five feet off the ground of the single-story home.
Tank, after assuring Kenneth that he would return, ran to check on Elaine. She was unharmed and in the backyard.
Tank attempted to enter the house through the kitchen, but the smoke turned him away.
He returned to the window where Kenneth was holding his head outside, and Officer Susanne Behling, a 5 1/2 -year veteran, arrived. Together, they pulled Kenneth from the burning home.
Fire and rescue crews arrived just as the officers were pulling Kenneth out of the house.
The husband and wife were taken to Elmbrook Memorial Hospital, where they were treated for smoke inhalation.
Both officers received a letter of commendation, Police Capt. Phil Horter said.
Market owner, worker face felony charges
The owner of V. Richards Market and his produce manager knowingly purchased stolen produce to sell in the upscale Brookfield grocery store, according to felony charges filed against them Tuesday in Waukesha County Circuit Court.
Charges of receiving stolen property were filed against John E. Nehring, 55, of Wauwatosa -- who also owns a Sendik's store in Shorewood and G. Groppi Food Market in Milwaukee's Bay View neighborhood -- and his V. Richards produce manager, Angel Vasquez, 28, of Milwaukee.
The criminal complaint says the two paid $1,500 cash to a delivery driver for stolen cases of pineapple, peaches and boxes of Gala apples last summer. The stolen produce included 70 cases of pineapples, 102 cases of peaches and 42 boxes of Gala apples, which in total were valued at $2,883, the complaint says.
The fruit was stolen from the Milwaukee-based Tropic Banana Co., the complaint says. Both Nehring and Vasquez are set to make their initial appearance in Waukesha County Circuit Court on Aug. 6.
The maximum penalty for the Class I felony is 3 1/2 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
City sets deadline for fire department
The Common Council has given the Muskego Volunteer Fire Company until Aug. 26 to voluntarily negotiate its absorption into the Tess Corners Fire Department.
The council voted to defer two resolutions that would have disbanded the Muskego company and made Tess Corners the sole provider of fire services to the city. But aldermen, motivated by discussion that took place between the two departments Monday night, decided Tuesday to give them time to work it out on their own.
One city contracting with two volunteer fire departments is unusual in the Milwaukee area. Currently, the Muskego company responds to calls on the city's west side; Tess Corners to calls on the east side. Both are private corporations funded by taxpayers.
The Common Council had decided in November to move forward with one fire company led by Tess Corners, which the city says has a better financial record.
City, Milwaukee work on deal for water
Milwaukee and New Berlin have fashioned a draft agreement that allows Milwaukee Water Works to sell the Waukesha County community additional Lake Michigan water for a one-time fee of $1.5 million, along with the as-yet-unknown cost of treating and transporting water.
With the state's passage of the Great Lakes Water Compact, the way was likely cleared for New Berlin to acquire additional Lake Michigan water to serve residential and commercial interests in the central part of the community.
New Berlin must return used water to Lake Michigan through sewerage district pipes so that there is no loss of water volume to Lake Michigan.
New Berlin is under state order to reduce groundwater radium concentrations, which could cause cancer. The preferred solution is to shut down the troubled municipal wells and increase supplies of Lake Michigan drinking water from Milwaukee Water Works to basically the central area of the community.
Man arrested on suspicion of assault
A registered sex offender who neglected to update his home address with the city was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of indecently touching an 8-year-old girl in an apartment complex swimming pool, police said.
According to Waukesha police, David Stevens, 21, is suspected of having contact with the child while both of them were in the swimming pool at an apartment complex in the 2100 block of Kensington Drive on Tuesday evening. Police said the girl told her parents about the assault, and that police tracked down Stevens in a nearby building.
Stevens was convicted of first-degree sexual assault of a child in 2004, when he was 15 years old, and he is required to register as a sex offender until 2021. Waukesha police Capt. Mark Stigler said in a news release that the city couldn't check up on Stevens because he hadn't updated his address with the city in 2007.
Economy, weather hurt fair attendance
Attendance at the Waukesha County Fair fell more than 25% this year amid hot, humid weather and a struggling economy, fair officials said Wednesday.
The official attendance for the fair, which ran from July 16 to 20, was 101,358, the smallest crowd at Wisconsin's oldest county fair since fair officials started keeping track of attendance in 1990. Last year, the five-day event welcomed 136,628 fairgoers. Average attendance is about 132,000, said Shari Black, the fair's executive director.
Black partly attributed the decline in attendance to the economy's overall struggles, which she said may have kept some families from coming out to the fair.

Earthlings could make contact with extraterrestrial beings by the year 2025, two astronomers predict in a new book.
The authors say it's unlikely space aliens look like Hollywood's ETlittle, green, and hairlessand that while aliens are highly unlikely to pay Earth a visit, they may be sending radio signals across space to let us know they exist.
The book, Cosmic Company, "is an explication of why we think they're out there, how we're looking for them, what they must be like, and a little bit of what it might mean" to find life on other planets, said co-author Seth Shostak, a senior astronomer at the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute (SETI) in Mountain View, California.
The institute conducts research in astronomy, the planetary sciences, and evolution. Past research projects have been funded by NASA, the National Science Foundation, and numerous universities and foundations.
Beyond Our Galaxy
Shostak and co-author Alexandra Barnett, an astronomer and executive director of the Chabot Space and Science Center in Oakland, California, base their predictions on a number of factors.
They include the billions of years in which extraterrestrial life could have evolved and the abundance of planets and stars elsewhere in the universe that are likely to mimic environmental conditions found on Earth.
"It's a matter of statistics, really," said Barnett. "Depending on who you talk to, the universe is 12 to 15 billion years old. Humans have only been around for 40,000 years. We really are the new kids on the block. It would just be too tough a pill to swallow to believe that nothing else has evolved in all that time and space."
The universe is indeed vast. In 1924 astronomer Edwin Hubble showed that there are galaxies beyond our own. "More than a half century later, the Hubble telescope has shown that there are at least 100 billion such galaxies," said Shostak. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is home to at least 100 billion stars.
Planets are also plentiful. Since 1995, when the first Jupiter-sized planet outside of our solar system was found, astronomers have been able to identify about 100 more planets, all of them around 300 times more massive than Earth.
"Planets really are as common as phone poles," said Shostak. "Right now, we know that there are planets out there [orbiting] ten or twenty percent of the stars we look at. So far, only huge planets have been found, but it would be a big surprise if there were only big ones. I don't think anyone expects that to be the case."
Until now, the search for intelligent life has been somewhat hampered by inadequate technologytoo few stars surveyed at too low a sensitivity by Earth and space-based telescopes.

This year like the others was great. I loved my stay at the condo.The condo itself is just fine.The beautiful view of Biscayne Bay is great.We have access to many nice places ,either the beach close by,or the swimming pool. The only thing I noticed is the poor shape of the long chairs at the pool.I think it needs to be replaced. Besides that it's a great place to stay , well furnished. I enjoy my stay and will be back next year.
We had booked another condo and it was terrible---called John desperately the next morning as we fled our horrible situation---we were saved!!! We were sooo lucky that his beautiful condo was available for the time we needed!!! Can't tell you how much my husband and I kept commenting to each other how lucky we were to have found this place. We felt safe and comfortable and were able to get to any place we needed---Haulover beach just 10 minutes and very peaceful and Miami and Fort Lauderdale a short drive away. When it rained 2 days we did not mind sipping wine on the couch or balcony and just enjoying ourselves. Great views of the canal and bay and the city beyond---even in the rain!!!! Traffic in South Florida is just bad and I would highly recommend a car. Safe personal parking right out the door. A small shopping center across the street can provide much of what you need from essentials to restaurants.
The condo was wonderfully maintained and had every convenience we needed. It just felt so "right" being there!!! We were lucky enough that John included us when he took his boat out for a grand tour of Miami---we will be forever grateful!!! We owe you dinner when you come to town!!Thanks to John and his condo, what started off as a vacation from hell turned into a little slice of heaven!!!!!
The listing is extremely accurate, photos accurately reflects the rental appearance and amenities. The property is very clean, one of the reason we rent from John. John is so helpful...nice personality. We needed him or had questions..answered his phone and was there in no time....5 minutes to the beach. We would not hesitate to recommend this property to a friend or relative...We were there from March 1st to April 15th, 2013...time went by so fast because we felt at home...just love that property, so much we are going back every year so don't think you can rent from March 1st to April 15th because we are going to be there
My stay at the condo was very pleasant,nicely decorated and clean,we have a perfect exterior view on the canal ,and Biscayne Bay.You can sit on the patio and look at the boats go by,or go to the swimming pool to enjoy the sun .
It's easier to travel to different places when you come by car.There,s a big beach not so far
,that is great ,Haulover Beach.
Many good restaurants downtown,on Collins Ave,and different gardens to visit if you enjoy plants.
Fairchild tropical gardens was great,beautiful orchids and tropical rainforest.Vizcaya museum and gardens is also a great place to walk and enjoy the numerous flowers.
I was happy to see that the listing photos reflect the rental's appearance.
I would recommend this property ,and the owner was quick and helpful in answering all my questions.
We will surely go next year for a month or two.
Just finished at 3 month stay and this condo was amazing! The apartment is large, comfortable, well furnished with everything you need to enjoy your stay in Miami. A great central location close to everything yet quiet. The apartment opens right onto the canal which was beautiful. The owner is very helpful and quick to respond to any inquiries. We would highly recommend this to anyone looking to visit Miami.

US EPA delays nonroad engine emission standards proposal until 2003
10 June 2002
According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the EPA's Office of Air and Radiation have agreed that "curbing pollution from diesel-powered, non-road vehicles and equipment should be a top environmental priority of the Bush Administration". EPA said the unusual collaboration between OMB and EPA will allow the rulemaking effort to proceed on a "expedited basis". However, in the same announcement the EPA estimates that the publication of the proposed rule, originally planned for 2002, will be delayed until 2003.
Please log in to view the full version of this article (subscription required).
OMB and EPA have recognized that controlling exhaust emissions from non-road diesel engines will likely require a lower-sulfur grade of fuel than is currently available. "This is an expensive undertaking, and one that must be evaluated carefully in deciding whether and how to require additional desulfurization of diesel fuel," said the EPA. The Agency will be developing the new nonroad emission standard and fuel requirements in consultation with state and local officials, diesel engine and equipment manufacturers, fuel refiners and marketers, public health experts and environmental organizations, as well as the Departments of Energy, Transportation and Agriculture.
In addition to the new emission standards, the EPA and OMB will also develop other regulatory strategies to reduce emissions from non-road diesel engines, such as: (1) the use of incentives to encourage the early introduction of clean emission control technologies and low sulfur diesel fuel, (2) the potential use of market-based averaging, banking, and trading programs that might include permission to trade emission-reduction credits between off-road and highway engines, thereby stimulating more emission reduction at less cost; (3) the additional emission reduction benefits that can be achieved from existing off-road diesel engines through the use of very low sulfur diesel fuel; and (4) how risks, benefits and costs might vary by type of off-road engine and geographical location of use.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Juneau volunteers have been making a difference in Juneau classrooms one hour at a time with their school-based mentoring program.
Sound off on the important issues at
Now they have a study to prove it.
A national report released last week touted Alaska's largest youth mentoring program as a success in schools. In Juneau, the mentoring program is credited with raising grades and improving attitudes in a district that is working to better both.
"We have a good program for Juneau schools that promises to be a great program," Marc Wheeler, executive director, said.
Results from the study show that the weekly one-hour sessions with mentors improve student attendance rates and academic interests, and make them feel smarter. At the same time, students fight less, skip school less and visit the principle's office less.
"It's one more asset to help students succeed," Superintendent Peggy Cowan said.
Myrna Sharclane's 11-year-old grandson found his mentor at the Gastineau Elementary School in the spring of 2005. Back then, Sharclane said, her grandson had a tough time focusing and was terribly shy at school.
Going into the 2007-08 school year, Sharclane said, "Teachers say that he is more comfortable, raises his hand and has a more cheerful attitude."
"If we do a good job, there will be a lasting effect," Wheeler said.
The mentoring program started at Harbor View Elementary in 1999 as a "reading buddies" program before growing into the "friendship-based" program it is today, Wheeler said.
Throughout Southeast Alaska, the mentor program served 292 school children last year.
Every elementary school in Juneau has "bigs" and "littles" matched up and building friendships. Harbor View hosts the most matches with 49 "bigs" mentoring "littles" throughout their building.
Local data collected during the 2005-06 school year showed more than 70 percent of the "littles" enrolled had better attitudes about school. Classroom behavior improved by more than 50 percent.
Though it's not a tutor program, teachers are impressed with attitude improvements and the achievement that comes with it, Cowan said.
Volunteers who apply with BBBS are matched with registered students for one-hour in-school sessions each week. Through individual effort and partnerships with 11 Juneau businesses, BBBS had 96 active matches last school year.
With the focus on friendship rather than school, the goal is to give students a friend that focuses solely on them. What the "bigs" and "littles" do is largely up to the student, Wheeler said.
"We read," Rebecca Freer said.
Freer is a 17-year-old Juneau-Douglas High School student that joined the mentoring program as a "big" last year. Juneau's chapter has 31 high school-aged "bigs" working with students at three elementary schools.
Freer's "little" attends Riverbend Elementary School and prefers to read chapter books together during their meetings.
"He's really into it," Freer said. "He can read upside down."
The national study looked at mentoring matches for 15 months before concluding gains were made in science and English, and students finished more homework and had better behavior.
Patty Sanford started worked with her "little" when the girl was in first grade. Six years later, her "little" is no longer "quiet or shy."
"It took a couple of years to get her going," Sanford said.
The pair mostly played games involving math and eventually geography. "We always played learning games," Sanford said.
Sanford's relationship with the girl is considered a long one in the program. The average match in Juneau lasts 12 months.
"That's higher than the national average of nine months," Wheeler said.
The only negative outcome from the study shows student improvements falling off in the third semester of the study period. BBBS believes that shows the result of matches not continuing through the summer months.
With that knowledge, Wheeler said he will look for new "bigs" to make year-long commitments with some contact over the summer.

To my nose I would place it with, Ivoire, Sung, Palona Picasso, RL Safari, and Yeves Rocher Vie Privee. To me it's green and fresh with some white flowers. And of those my favorite is Ivoire and then Vie Privee. Its nice but I have so many others. I dont know those other scents, but it sounds like your nose is picking up something different than mine. And no, I dont think its old lady or musty,,,,but I bet we are around the same age I will be 45 next month. I would call it more a classic scent

Pooja Bhatt's statement on Jism 2 promos being censored with an 'A' certificate... 3 songs will be shown on TV and 3 songs which have adult content will be shown only on the net and social media.
Like I have inherited my genetic disposition,my face,my body, I have also inherited this supposed 'culture' that we all brandish and use like the most lethal weapon. I accept the limitations of my mind and body don't I ?
So I have to come to terms with this truth that the state will do everything in their power to 'control' and 'manipulate' to maintain a status quo while talking about the artists rights and freedom of speech etc.
But I refuse to point at a finger at the Censor board while conveniently forgetting that four of those fingers point squarely back at my mostly schizophrenic community,the film Industry that has no 'stand' of their own. I look around and am appalled by 'adult' film-makers who wish to then worm their way onto a prime-time family slot and want to with an amputated,watered down version of their original film,now pathetically try to sell their wares to the very audience they first claimed they were not interested in.
So am I upset with the Censor board? No! I thank them for creating this road-block with the Jism2 first look promo as it forced me, my music company and marketing team to re-think our archaic way of promoting films.
"Irreverence is our only sacred cow." it is said and that is why I have decided to NOT promote songs of Jism2 where I simply cannot tone down the sexual content on television to an unsuspecting public. I will instead release it exclusively on the internet and social media where my core audience of thinking,passionate ADULTS can CHOOSE to view it,like it or reject it.
But yes what we do need is clarity. A clear set of directives which make crystal clear without prejudice what each film-maker must follow in order to obtain a U, U/A or A certificate. the problem today is that there is none of that and that lack of clarity is creating chaos and frustration. Those emotions are poison to any living goal.

Trailblazer: A High-Level Architecture For The Web(via)
Trailblazer gives you a high-level architecture for web applications. Logic that used to get violently pressed into MVC is restructured and decoupled from the Rails framework. New abstraction layers like operations, form objects, authorization policies, data twins and view models guide you towards a better architecture. By applying encapsulation and good OOP, Trailblazer maximizes reusability of components, gives you a more intuitive structure for growing applications and adds conventions and best practices on top of Rails' primitive MVC stack. A polymorphic architecture sitting between controller and persistence is designed to handle many different contexts and helps to minimize code to handle various user roles and edge cases.
Web Application Architecture
I've spent some time thinking about how a web application should be architected. How should it look from a high level? How does the development cycle look? How does the deployment process look? I read a lot about how applications should be modular, and I agree with this, but in practice I've come to realize I don't know how a large application should look.
Spine is a simple and lightweight framework, and doesn't consist of a vast amount of complex widgets to configure and theme.
Using Zend_Tool to start up your ZF Project
This tutorial will set you through using Zend_Tool to jump-start development on your next ZF MVC application.

Amazon Alleged to Launch 10-inch Next-Gen Kindle Fire in Q2
We have already heard of the allegations that Amazon has plans to release an updated 7-inch tablet and a brand new 9-inch slate in mid-2012. This time, we have gotten wind of more speculations that Amazon is already preparing for its next-gen Kindle Fire, expected to launch by the end of the second quarter. Details are still sketchy so far, with no finalized specs or photos.
BGR - The publication states that a 10-inch OEM device from Foxconn could be the final product. The report comes just after Pacific Crest analyst Chad Bartley claimed that Amazon plans to release an updated 7-inch tablet and a brand new 9-inch slate in mid-2012. BGR exclusively reported last May that Amazon was working on a 10-inch tablet, although a later report would suggest that Amazon was focusing on launching a new 8.9-inch device first.

The social aspect of Wow that Vanilla had when it came to world pvp, exploring the world on foot, the emphasis on grouping up with people while questing and having server involving activities/questlines is gone and won't come back.
At the same time, I'm glad I don't have to dedicate 30+ hours a week to raid/PVP to get gear. I'm also happy that there are alternative ways to make money, making flasks isn't the torture it was in Vanilla, getting a raid geared isn't as RNG dependent/time consuming and that many overall quality of life changes for classes made the game more enjoyable.

Residents are calling for their village to be renamed Solar St James after plans for the county's biggest renewable energy park on their doorstep.
The plan by Fendyke Solar Ltd is the third being considered for Sutton St James and would mean the loss of 81 acres of grade 2 "capable" agricultural land.
There is also a plan by the same applicant for a 78 meter wind turbine off Old Fendyke.
Bella Faulkner, who lives in Broadgate and would be directly opposite the park, lost no time after receiving notification of the plan last Saturday to call on residents to fight it.
She printed posters to be distributed around the village, urging residents against the plans to lodge their complaints with South Holland District Council (SHDC) by the deadline of February 6.
Mrs Faulkner said: "Only last Monday on BBC Look North there was a feature on the solar park at Sleaford which, at 50 acres, was said to be the biggest in the county – this one is much bigger.
"Martin Hill, leader of Lincolnshire County Council, said that there are too many solar applications being lodged in the county using high grade land and it must be curtailed.
"Greg Barker, Minster for Renewables, said the same thing and agreed that the county was being targeted because of high light levels and flat open fields and said that they would have to take measures to ensure that these developments only go on brownfield sites, poor land and factory roofs."
Ten houses will be directly affected and a further ten will see the site from a distance.
The field is claimed to be grade 3b, acceptable under new government guidance, after being used for vegetable dumping and being flooded, which damaged the soil structure.
Mrs Faulkner said: "I moved here 17 years ago because of the lovely views. Apart from the glare from the panels, there will be noise from the cooling fans and a lot of traffic while the site is under construction.
"Our crossroads is already dangerous and if the plan is approved it will be worse.
"Only residents directly opposite were informed. but we want everyone concerned about this to lodge their comments with SHDC."
John North, a local farmer, said £50,000 was spent repairing Barlings Drove last year. He said: "Now it looks like it will be dug up again.
"I'm not against solar panel parks in principle, but I question the morality of further reducing the area of good quality land.
"Who wants to look out at glaring glass and a prison-like fence?"

It began in New Orleans with the lung-cancer death of a small-time lawyer. It began in Kentucky when a $9-an-hour law clerk stole three boxes of incriminating company documents. It began in Mississippi as an outraged country lawyer discovered the costs of cancer care. And it began in Washington as a pediatrician-turned-agency head decided to end tobacco's 90-year immunity from regulation. Suddenly, an untouchable industry was under siege. And in the vanguard of the attack: a consortium of the nation's toughest liability lawyers led by the best friend of that small-time New Orleans attorney. Three years and 33 million documents later, Big Tobacco had been cornered. Though the $369 billion they have offered to buy peace has been attacked as "too little, too late," it represents a capitulation of monumental proportions.
Cornered is the first full account of this unprecedented battle. Dramatic, funny, enraging, it offers the ultimate proof that you can fight city hall.

Grovetown's first effort to replace a councilman who resigned in April
faltered Monday from lack of support.
City Councilman Dennis Trudeau made a motion to appoint Lee Briggs to fill the remaining term of Sonny McDowell, who resigned in April after being convicted of federal bribery charges.
No one seconded the motion, so it failed.
Briggs is one of three people interested in completing McDowell's term, which ends at the end of the year.
Councilman Dale Stoddard said he wanted to meet with the candidates before making a decision.
"That way we can speak to (that) person one on one," Stoddard said. "I've not met anyone. We need to speak to each person and we have not done that."
The candidates include Briggs, who is chairman of the city's Planning and Zoning Committee, Dr. Deborah Fisher, a retired U.S. Army physician, and Sylvia Martin, a retired teacher and former Grovetown Museum Board member.
The council will meet with candidates on July 29 and expect to appoint a replacement at the Aug. 11 meeting.

GP at Centre of Suicide Row Suspended
By Lyndsay Moss Health Correspondent
CAMPAIGNERS yesterday called for a change in the law to allow patients to ask for help to end their lives, after a Scottish GP was suspended for prescribing sleeping pills to an elderly woman so she could kill herself.Dr Iain Kerr, a family doctor in Glasgow, was found guilty of misconduct after prescribing the pills to an elderly patient with osteoporosis, who went on to kill herself using other drugs.
Yesterday, the General Medical Council (GMC) suspended the 61- year-old from practising medicine for six months after a two-week hearing in Manchester.
Campaigners said the case highlighted the "moral ambiguity" of cases where patients ask for help to end their lives
But the medical profession stood firm, saying the role of doctors was to protect the vulnerable and give all patients as good a quality of life as is possible, rather than helping them to die.
Dr Kerr prescribed 30 sodium amytal sleeping pills to the former businesswoman in 1998 after she told him she had considered suicide.
His actions go against the Hippocratic Oath, the classical principles to which doctors should adhere in their treatment of patients, which includes the statement: "I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody who asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect."
The GMC found that the Glasgow GP's fitness to practise was impaired and branded his actions "inappropriate, irresponsible, liable to bring the profession into disrepute and not in your patient's best interest".
Dignity in Dying, which campaigns for better access to palliative care and a change in the law to allow mentally competent, terminally ill adults in unbearable suffering to have the option of an assisted death, expressed concerns about Dr Kerr's case. Its spokesman, James Harris, said: "We do not condone anybody taking the law into their own hands and we are greatly saddened by this case."
Scottish group Friends at the End (Fate) also campaigns for a change in the law to allow doctor-assisted suicide so that patients who wish to can end their own lives with dignity. Yesterday, they expressed sympathy for the position in which Dr Kerr found himself. Spokeswoman Sheila Duffy said: "It is sad to witness an obviously well- respected and compassionate GP being dragged in front of the panel to justify his actions towards an 87-year-old patient who plainly knew her own mind and wished to end her life."
Margo MacDonald, the MSP who suffers from Parkinson's disease and joined the debate on assisted suicide when she told the Scottish Parliament she wanted the right to end her own life, welcomed the news that Dr Kerr had not been struck off the medical register completely.
Suzanne Goddard, QC, counsel for the GMC, said that what Dr Kerr did was "akin to handing her a noose with which to hang herself at a time of her choosing".
The woman, who was identified only as Patient A, later disposed of the sleeping tablets that Dr Kerr gave her because she did not want to get the GP into trouble after learning he was being investigated by health chiefs for his views on assisted suicide.
Police took no action against Dr Kerr after finding there was "insufficient evidence".
Speaking after the hearing, an emotional Dr Kerr thanked family, friends and his wife for supporting him.
* At present, there is no legislation in Scotland covering suicide. Anyone who assists another person in a successful suicide or a suicide attempt is usually charged with culpable homicide.
* In England and Wales, such an action would be covered by the Suicide Act 1961, which prohibits assisting suicide.
* The British Medical Association (BMA) is clear in its opposition to such actions. Dr George Fernie, a member of the BMA's Scottish Council, said: "In 2006, the BMA voted against legalising physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia. The primary goal of medicine is to promote welfare, protect the vulnerable and give all patients as good a quality of life as is possible."
