11 tips for city break photography
How to make the most of your camera on a city break, capturing the spirit and atmosphere of the urban jungle with a few easy tips and tricks.
Samo Vidic has been a professional sports photographer for almost 20 years. A Canon Ambassador, he regularly covers major sporting events for magazines and newspapers as well as shooting portraits of top sports stars and advertising campaigns for major brands. He has photographed sport for Red Bull since 2005.
Samo recently shot parkour group Storror in Istanbul, Turkey, capturing spectacular images of the athletes leaping onto, vaulting over and running across surfaces of different heights. So we asked him what advice he has to offer photographers ready for the challenge of shooting freerunning and other high-octane urban sports.
"Preparation for the shoot is essential, particularly with fast and unpredictable sports such as parkour," Samo says. "It sounds obvious, but before heading out you have to make sure you have all the essential equipment, such as the right lenses, charged batteries and spare memory cards."
On the day of the shoot, Samo says it's important to plan out what you're going to do. "Before I take my Canon EOS-1D X Mark II out of the case, I'll speak with the athletes and take a detailed look around the location, so I know exactly where the vantage points are for capturing the perfect shot," he says.
Choosing the correct lenses is vital, too. "Shooting with the most versatile and robust lenses is essential, as the camera equipment may take a few knocks along the way," Samo explains.
"Take pictures in all light settings and from different angles and perspectives."
"For capturing fast-paced urban sports, I suggest using a wide-angle lens such as Canon's EF 16-35mm f/2.8L III USM for a solid and versatile experience. For distance photography, Canon's EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM is a great option because it's perfect for focusing on the detail and isolating an athlete from the background."
Parkour athletes are constantly on the move, making it a difficult sport to capture on camera. For the best results, Samo recommends taking control of your exposure settings.
"To catch all of the action, I suggest shooting with the fastest shutter speed possible," he says. "The minimum needed is 1/1000 sec or faster, setting the autofocus to AI Servo and using the highest frame rate possible."
If you're a newcomer to sports photography, Samo says a good camera choice would be Canon's latest mirrorless camera, the Canon EOS M50. "It is lightweight, can shoot up to 10 frames per second, film in rich 4K definition and seamlessly transfers images to the cloud or a smartphone," he says.
However, whether you want to become skilled at shooting parkour or any other urban sport, Samo's advice is the same: you have to practise as much as possible. "Take pictures in all light settings and from different angles and perspectives," he advises.
"Get down to your local sports club because this will enable you to fine-tune your photography skills and understand your camera's settings and capabilities. Success does not come overnight, so practice is essential. Break out of a routine, try new things and do something different."

We've been taking stock of our film collection, too, with help from an A.W. Mellon Foundation grant, so it seemed like an opportune moment to share a selection of posters from an amazing series of artist talks and screenings hosted by the Carnegie Film Section (1970–1980), later the Department of Film and Video (1980–2003). Some of the rarest and most valuable material in our collection are recordings from these presentations.

The Coast Guard (also known as the Coastguard in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas) is a boat that is available for the player to use in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
Presumably designed to serve emergency services, the Coast Guard is reasonably fast, and has the ability to make sharp turns easily. The boat has some wooden construction, particularly in GTA Vice City, and often has first aid kits and life jackets inside as well. Although it may sound like it, there are no missions associated with this boat. It does, however, like other emergency vehicles, have a police radio. In GTA San Andreas, the Coast Guard is the boat used for the first two lessons in Boat School, which can be accessed at Bayside Marina in Bayside, Tierra Robada.
GTA Vice City
- Viceport, next to the docks just north of the freighter
GTA San Andreas
- Found in each dock surrounding Easter Bay International Airport in San Fierro
GTA Vice City Stories
- Washington Beach (only appears during the "Beach Patrol" side missions)
- Although the Coastguard in GTA San Andreas is considered an emergency vehicle and has a police radio, you cannot perform the Vigilante sub-mission in it, possibly because the game doesn't know how to spawn criminals on water.

How to Eat Like a Viking
In the lands of Norsemen, gourmet food lovers are going back to their Viking roots.
An example lies on a plate at the Danish Michelin star awarded restaurant Kong Hand Kaelder. Actually, this is no caveman's piece of dinner meat, although it definitely looks like one. A slice of root parsley filled with smoked bone marrow, onions and cepès mushrooms, covered with root parsley puree and served with oxtail juice would probably be a sought after dish in the old days too, and the resemblance to a typical primitive dinner is not accidental. This is as modern as it gets.
"Finally, the people of the Nordics have found a culinary identity," Thomas Rode Andersen, grand chef at Kong Hans Kaelder said.
After falling in love with a much younger woman, Mr. Andersen changed his habits of battering, deep-frying and artificially enhancing the color and taste of his food to become healthier and "remain attractive for her."
He decided to switch his diet to "what we're supposed to eat," meaning eating locally and organically produced meats and vegetables, and no sugar. Essentially, he decided to apply his new cooking habits to the Kong Hans Kaelder restaurant menu too, serving dishes like the caveman style-root parsley mentioned above to demanding palates in the Danish capital.

- 100ml/3½ fl oz double cream
Instead of soaking the ham overnight to get rid of excess salt, follow my short-cut method.Weigh the joint and calculate the poaching time, allowing 25 minutes for every 450g/1lb, and put the joint in a very large pan. Cover with cold water and bring to the boil, then drain off all the water.
Pour 600ml/1 pint of the cider into the pan and then pour in enough cold water to cover the joint. Add the onions, carrots, bay leaves, parsley stalks, cloves and peppercorns. Bring slowly to the boil, turn down the heat, then cover and simmer very gently for the calculated time. Allow the joint to cool in the stock (overnight is ideal).
Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4/ fan 160C. Lift the joint out of the stock, then strain the stock and measure 500ml/18fl oz. Strip the rind off the joint and score the fat in a diamond pattern. Put the joint in a heavy roasting tin (if it's wibblywobbly, prop it up with a wad of scrunched-up foil), pour over the remaining cider and braise in the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, basting frequently until beginning to brown. If the pan becomes dry, splash in some cider or water to cover the bottom of the tin.
Meanwhile, start the sauce. Put the milk, parsley stalks and bay leaves into a saucepan, bring to the boil and leave to infuse for as long as you have.
Remove the joint from the oven and raise the temperature to 200C/gas 6/fan 180C. Put the orange halves around the joint. Melt the marmalade, brush it generously all over the gammon and oranges, then return to the oven for 10 minutes to glaze. Lift the gammon and oranges on to a serving dish, cover and keep warm while you finish the sauce.
Sprinkle the flour into the roasting tin and scrape and stir around to mix with the juices. Place on the hob and cook for a couple of minutes, stirring, to cook out the flour.Gradually pour in the measured stock and whisk well. Now add the strained infused milk and bring to the boil, then turn down the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Strain into a clean saucepan, stir in the chopped parsley leaves and cream, then heat through gently and check the seasoning. Pour into a warm jug and serve with the joint.

The Hallmark Channel may have aired a movie titled "I'm Not Ready for Christmas" last week, but its viewers clearly are.
The holiday season can't come early enough at Hallmark, where it officially began on Oct. 31. The family-friendly network devotes the final two months of the year to holiday programming, and its eager viewers made it the third most-watched cable network last week behind ESPN and Fox News Channel.
Prime-time viewership at Hallmark for the first two weeks of its holiday focus is up 89 percent over the network's average during October, the Nielsen company said.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
"I'm Not Ready for Christmas" had 3.6 million viewers for its premiere on Saturday, while Sunday's original movie, "Christmas Inc.," had 2.5 million, Nielsen said.
The network plans original movies for every evening of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Candace Cameron Bure, whose "Under Wraps" was the most-watched cable movie last year, is returning with the new film, "A Christmas Detour." The holiday movies are capped with "A Christmas Melody," a new movie starring Mariah Carey, on Dec. 19.
As anticipated, the second Democratic presidential debate had the smallest audience of any presidential contest so far this year. It was seen by 8.55 million people on CBS last Saturday night, Nielsen said. The Republican Presidential Debate was the least watched of the four GOP contests, but set a record for viewership for Fox Business Network.
CBS won the week in prime time, averaging 10.2 million viewers. NBC had 8.3 million viewers, ABC had 6.2 million, Fox had 3.6 million, Univision had 2 million, the CW had 1.6 million, Telemundo had 1.5 million and ION Television had 1.2 million.

Women's Issues Remain the Focus As Thousands Rally In Denver
With 4000 tickets handed out and a packed auditorium, the mix of women, men and children eagerly waited to hear the president's plan to protect women's rights.
For Monica, the only question about attending today's presidential rally was whether or not she could manage to handle her rambunctious toddler, or if she should leave her with friends. The teacher and mother of three from a nearby Denver suburb chose the latter, and instead joined a crowd of thousands to see President Barack Obama speak, headlined by former law student Sandra Fluke.
Monica was accompanied by her husband, a Colorado small business owner. He was by no means the only man at the event, even though it was expected to be heavily-focused on health care and women's rights, especially once the appearance of Fluke was announced. According to Monica, the crowd was evenly split by sex, with a liberal influx of children as well.
With a series of ads attacking Republican opponent Mitt Romney over his stance on the Affordable Care Act, Planned Parenthood, abortion, and contraception, women's health has turned into the number one issue recently for the president. A new ad with actress Elizabeth Banks explaining her support for Obama and her belief in the good Planned Parenthood does for the women of the country is being talked about all over the Internet. Women, especially single women, are flocking to the President in droves. It's that focus that drew many in the crowd to hear Obama speak, regardless of their sex.
Of course, not everyone there was a supporter. Outside, protesting the event, was a member of the so-called Personhood movement. Fresh off the announcement that they had likely gathered enough signatures get back on the Colorado ballot (fourth time), a member of the radical anti-choice group stood by the exit. A large poster of blown-up, graphic images of allegedly aborted fetuses were on display to shock Obama supporters, many of whom positioned themselves between the protester and young children as they walked by the display.
Sex. Abortion. Parenthood. Power.
The latest news, delivered straight to your inbox.
But once inside the arena, the audience was soon greeted by remarks from Fluke.
"All Mr. Romney could say was 'Those were not the words I would have chosen,'" said Fluke, discussing the controversy over her infamous attack by Rush Limbaugh regarding her support of no co-pay birth control. "Well, Mr. Romney, you are not the candidate we choose."
The appearance of both Fluke and Obama left many Coloradans in the audience feeling more energized than ever about the 2012 election. "We needed a little kick in the pants to get fired up," said Monica, who said she and her husband and friends were even more eager to go once they learned of Fluke's appearance and that the speech would be focused on women's issues.
I loved hearing her speak. She got the crowd up and rolling. She did a very good job of introducing the President and talking about how she felt supported by him, and how she needed us to be supporting him.
Monica was excited to see the renewed energy behind the audience's embrace of protecting women's health as a campaign issue. "For us, our priority is protection of a woman's right to choose, particularly because we have two daughters we are raising here, but also because we have a son."
It would seem that a rally so highly focused on women's health and rights would be less interesting for the men in the audience, but if Monica's husband is any indication, that wasn't true at all. "He was very excited to be there, and very excited that it was women's-issues focused," she said.
I think he realizes as much as any woman what's at stake right now. For him, he has two daughters and I hear him talk a lot about what it will mean for their future if Romney is elected versus what it will mean if Obama is elected, and I think that's a high priority for him.
"We want to make sure our daughters have choice. That they have health care that covers everything. That they don't have to explain to their bosses what they need, and that their health care choices will be theirs."
The President also focused on the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, and on benefits for women in particular. Health care reform has become a lightening rod of partisan bickering, with Republicans declaring that the ACA punishes and harms small businesses. As the wife of a small business owner, Monica disagreed. "I haven't seen our rate increases for next year, but I don't think it will hurt us. Our price goes up every year, and it hasn't looked that different in the last two years."
When it comes to the state exchange, they are counting the days until they can obtain insurance for their family through that as an alternative.
"Once the exchanges get up," Monica said, "we think it will have a very positive effect on our premiums. There has to be something better. We're just in that holding pattern."
Republicans argue that talking about women's issues allows Obama to avoid talking about the economy, and that economic issues matter more to Americans. However, Monica believes that women's health and rights are a more immediate threat.
"The economy will turn around in time. It takes time and it's already happening," she said, "but it's a big ship. This women's health care issue is bigger. We could turn the economy around tomorrow, and if my daughter gets pregnant at 16 we're screwed. It doesn't matter how perfect the economy is, our daughter's life is fundamentally different for ever. Her children's life is different, and probably their children, too."
When it comes to voting, there is no doubt in her mind that women's health is her family's number one issue. She and her husband don't discuss business prospects at night. but who could be the next nominee to the Supreme Court. "It's so much bigger."

Subject: 2-D QRD Diffusors
I Would like to build some 2-D QRD diffusers for the back wall of my
control room, I am interested in having good diffusion above about
350-400Hz (Size restrictions will prevent me going much below 350Hz)
I can find plenty of good information about building 1-D QRD diffusers but
virtually nothing about 2-D QRD Diffusers, I am Particularly Interested in
the 2-D designs as they will give me greater diffusion than the 1-D designs.
The back wall of my control room is only about 8 feet from my head so
maximizing the amount of diffusion is important.

Mix it all together, and the next logical deduction equals = I love sugar cookies!!
Simple to mix up, fulfilling to roll out, fun to cut, easy to bake, creative to decorate. And that's before you even get to the eating!! Sweet, tender, soft, chewy, and (with sprinkles or colored sugar) a little crunchy. A world of delightful texture and taste. Uncomplicated, unassuming, comforting. Sugar cookies.
When this household suddenly went gluten-free, years ago, I thought sugar cookies were now extinct under this roof.
Trial runs with rice flours, and mixes incorporating bean flours of different types left us with unappetizing, thick, grainy, or heavy cookies. You can only hide so much under a substantial layer of powdered sugar icing and sprinkles. The experimental cookies usually sat neglected on the counter until they were so hard that I was doing us all a service by dumping them. And yet again dumping the hope of a gluten-free sugar cookie that could be enjoyed.
Gluten-Free Sugar Cookies
1/4 pound butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 Tbsp. cream or milk
1 1/4 cups Silvana's gluten-free flour mix (recipe here) - I leave the salt out of the flour mix!!
1/8 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking powder
Cream the butter. Gradually add the sugar, beating until light. Add the egg, vanilla, cream/milk and beat thoroughly.
Mix the flour mix, salt and baking powder together. Add to the first mixture and blend well. Add more flour mixture if the dough is too soft. Sprinkle flour mix on the rolling surface, roll cookies to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out shapes and back for 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees.
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tsp. milk
2 tsp. light corn syrup
1/4 tsp. vanilla
food coloring
Stir powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Beat in the corn syrup and vanilla until icing is smooth and glossy. If the frosting is too thick, add more corn syrup. Divide icing into separate bowls and stir in food coloring as desired.

New Timbers PhotosWednesday, July 29th, 2009
This morning I went over to PGE Park to shoot some portraits of a couple of guys for the next program cover and inside feature articles. I have shot portraits of players for these things for over 5 years now and generally I do some kind of dramatic sky, big lights, low angle, 16mm kind of photo that I like, but today I wanted to break out of that little box I so often find myself in. So, I went to the park with only an 85, a 70-200 and a reflector. Left all the lights, grids, boxes and wide angle lenses at the studio. I also did not want to shoot anywhere near the pitch. So instead, I shot one in the stadium seats and our cover boy outside of the stadium.
It's amazing what one little reflector can do. It's 107 in Portland today, so there was no shortage of sunshine to bounce light off of. Since these photos will be used in the team magazine, I made sure to leave room for the designers to add the mast head and type, etc on each photo.
I like how they turned out. It's good to challenge yourself to shoot in other ways when you feel trapped in a creative box. Next time you go shoot, leave your favorite lens at home and limit yourself to one you don't use very often and see what you come up with.

The Accompanied Showing ~ No Thank You!
We have all been there as agents right? The Seller wants us to be present at each and every showing. Is this really feasible and the other question, is this a strategy that is conducive to a potential sale? My short answer is no on both accounts.
Of course there are unusual situations at times where the home truly does require special instructions or has complicated security systems, gates, etc. Other times, especially in a specific home that is laden with high-end equipment or collections, the Seller might truly feel better with their agent present. These cases are rare and of course are discussed and addressed at the listing appointment.
The problem with the requirement of the listing agent at every showing does have some legitimate issues:
- Requiring another agent to be present at every showing creates another layer of scheduling. As we know in this industry, scheduling can already be tricky. Juggling one agent's showing request with the client's, plus adding in yet another agent's schedule typically results in NO showing at all. The more difficult it is to schedule a showing, the more likely the home just won't make the list.
- Another problem lies in allowing the potential buyers the privacy to see the home without the listing agent right there. This is uncomfortable for our clients and in these cases, the buyers look quickly and don't spend as much time in the home.
- Listing agents interjecting information regarding objections to the home don't know the buyer's like the buyer's agent does. Therefore, these bits of information are typically not welcomed.
- There is also the case of privacy. The listing agent does not represent the buyer's client. They should not be privy to conversations between the buyers and their agent.
- The Supra keyboxes may only be accessed by licensed individuals. These high-tech devices send a message to the listing agent when someone opens them and lets them know the time and who the agent is. This should provide a seller with a layer of comfort that not just anyone is accessing their home.
So how do you handle this request with a seller? Simply discuss some of the issues listed above. Logistically, it just dosn't make sense. It isn't that listing agents are lazy in any way regarding an accompanied showing, it really, really can result in fewer showings.
In most cities, getting from point A to point B always has challenges. Put showing 6-8 homes in the mix with traffic, weather, unexpected showing surprises such as that cat that escapes, etc. are just a few of the challenges we face each day as we show property. The goal is to attract as many buyer as possible to get inside of the home to see it.
Aside from having the property properly priced, a home that is easy to show with fewer complications is one of the best ways to get it sold. There will always be those exceptions. For the majority of homes, the request of an accompanied showing will most always slow the entire process down.
Are you ready to put your home on the market? Let's talk! The reality of listing, marketing, and showing your home are multi-faceted. Let us tour your home today and discuss how we might be of service to you.

Mr. Adnan Oktar's live conversation with former Israeli ambassador to Canada, Alan Baker on A9 TV (27 December 2011; 11:00)
Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9 TV dated December 27th, 2011
ADNAN OKTAR: So [this note says that] the link is ready and we can patch through when we like. All right, give me some information about the person we are linking up to first. Show me a picture. Who is he?
MS. DAMLA: Insha'Allah Master. We will be linking up to Ambassador Alan Baker. Mr. Baker who is one of Israel's best-known jurists, served as a legal adviser at the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs between 1996 and 2004. He served as the Israeli ambassador to Canada in 2004-2008. During his 35 years of service in the Israeli government, he was involved in Middle East peace negotiations and various agreements with Israel's neighbors. Ambassador Baker who is the Legal adviser of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also served as an adviser on international law to Israeli prime ministers, foreign ministers, Knesset committees and various government offices. He has represented Israel at international meetings and meetings discussing international criminal law, international law and human rights law. He was also personally involved in drafting agreements regarding the fight against terror. He has also written numerous papers on the international criminal court, international humanitarian law and the Middle East peace process. He also works as director of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, one of Israel's best known think tanks, masha'Allah.
ADNAN OKTAR: Okay, that is nice. Please put me through to the gentleman. Firstly.. Greetings, how are you?
ALAN BAKER: Hello. Fine, thank you. How are you?
ADNAN OKTAR: Thank you. I am also very well. Alhamdulillah, thanks be to Allah. Go ahead, I am listening.
ALAN BAKER: Well, my first question is a question that every Israeli is asking; Every Israeli, I think, is very, very upset and worried about the deterioration in the relationship between our two countries where basically there is so much in common. And my question is whether there is any chance of this relationship being brought back to what is was before the deterioration?
ADNAN OKTAR: Of course, the most important thing to be done is not to use expressions such as, "There are tensions. A chill has grown between us" because there is no such thing. If they try to give the impression that there is, then people will actually believe it. This is something that is being attained through indoctrination. We love the Israeli people. You are the children of the Prophet Abraham (pbuh). You are entrusted to us. We feel a deep love for you. And all Israeli people, devout Israelis, also love the Turkish nation very dearly. They are admirers of Turkey. They come and go. So indoctrinating such a thing would be very wrong.
ALAN BAKER: So if everything is okay, then why is the Prime Minister Erdogan, why is he so hostile to Israel? Why does he whip up such hostility amongst the Turkish public?
ADNAN OKTAR: To maintain there is a hostile attitude going on gives rise to the belief that such is indeed the case. [Mr. Tayyip] Erdogan is a politician. He is Prime Minister of Turkey. He can express his own opinions. But obviously Erdogan's opinion is not that of all of Turkey. Let us imagine that your minister makes a mistake, that he says something wrong; does that reflect the opinion of the Israeli people? No. The Prime Minister's statement does not reflect the general view held by Turkey. He may speak like that for political reasons. But the general public opinion is highly important. If you say, "The public's opinion does not matter, it is the leaders' opinions that count," that will not be right.
ALAN BAKER: Well, look; thank you, but as an international lawyer and a representative of Israel for many, many years what the Prime Minister of a country says is representative of the viewpoint of the country. And we saw that crowds of people in Istanbul or Ankara have come out in demonstrations against Israel; now I understand the flotilla incident was a very emotional incident for Turkey but in actual fact, Mr. Erdogan's negative relationship began long before the flotilla incident when he actually insulted the President of Israel in front of world television. So there seems to be something far deeper here than politics, and this is what makes me, and many other Israelis very very concerned.
ADNAN OKTAR: Look, let me give you some important evidence and you can understand it from that. Such actions may take place for political reasons. But it is the practicalities that matter. And what do we see in practicalities? Turkey has set a missile shield up in Malatya in order to protect Israel. It is setting up a missile, radar system. And the main, I can almost say only, aim is the protection of Israel. And Turkey is taking a great risk here. It has signed up for this, even though it has become a target itself. In the event of a nuclear attack, the nuclear missiles will be stopped within Turkish air space. And Turkey will be at risk. Yet it still takes such an extraordinarily altruistic measure for the sake of protecting Israel. This by itself is clear proof of how much Turkey, the Turkish government love Israel and are determined to protect it. Words are unimportant. It is that actions that speak louder. I also stand as guarantor for the Prime Minister. Do not concentrate on his words against Israel; in his heart, character and soul he is an exceedingly affectionate, compassionate and pure individual. He is sincere and well-intentioned. You can trust him. You like and trust me, so believe in what I say. No problems would arise on that.
ALAN BAKER: Well, thank you; I'm very happy to hear this. I mean it's a great relief, but the question is; would I be safe if I were invited to come to Turkey to speak in a panel of international lawyers? Would I be safe? Would I have reason to fear?
ADNAN OKTAR: Here is like your own home. My Rabbi friends come here. The former Chief Rabbi came here from Israel, deputies have come and state officials. They have all been welcomed in the finest manner here. The Turkish people also showed them their best love and affection. They visited mosques and many places. They were welcomed with love, affection, friendship and brotherhood. They felt themselves more secure in Turkey than in their own homes. They were quite safe. So when you come, it is absolutely certain that you will also be shown love and respect in the best manner. Turkish people are hospitable and warm and virtuous. But there has been a mutual conflict of pride. Such things happen from time to time. One side regards itself as absolutely in the right, as does the other; then both sides make it a matter of pride. And this question of pride persists if there is no arbiter around. We often encounter such things; and this is simply one example of that. That is why there is no true enmity toward Israel in Turkey, no negative policy. Indeed, the progress in trade goes to show this. The approach of Turkish people towards Israel is very positive and compassionate.
ALAN BAKER: Well, well thank you very much. Let me perhaps make a practical suggestion that I think every Israeli would appreciate. If Prime Minister Erdogan were to come out with some statement not hostile to Israel, because every statement that he's made about Israel over the last many months has been very, very negative, I think if the Israeli public were to see some message of sympathy, some message, I don't know, in the light of the festivals, Christmas, Hannukah, the Muslim festivals. If we were able to have some positive message coming from Prime Minister Erdogan, I think this would be very, very important for the public in Israel to see that what you're saying is true.
But I may just add here, excuse me, I think this would be very compatible with the messages you've already given in your discussions with the Chief Rabbi that we have a commonality in our religions, and to base a positive message on religious festivals will probably speak very clearly to the Israeli people and would be accepted very graciously.
ADNAN OKTAR: The Prime Minister made a statement about this before; "I love the Israeli people," he said. "I am only opposed to this policy of the Israeli government." In other words, he said; "My problem is with the Israeli government. I have no problem with the Israeli people, whom I love very much." That is a most significant statement. But words similar to those would of course be beautifying, pleasant and good. But you must know that the King Messiah you have been waiting for 3,000 years has now come. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) has come. Nobody can do Israel any harm now that the King Messiah is here. The Prime Minister would never even think of such a thing, and those days are now in any case over because the foundation of the state of Israel in that land is already a sign of the coming of the King Messiah, Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Great wars are a sign of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). From now on an age of peace, brotherhood and beauty has begun. We can see these details in all clarity and with full evidence when we look at the Torah. We see that it is all true. Everything described in the Torah has happened. Everything described by our Prophet (pbuh) in the hadiths has happened. All the portents of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), the King Messiah, have come about. The time has also come according to the Zohar, to reference sources that have come down from the time of the Prophet Abraham (pbuh). The Prophet Abraham (pbuh) points to 2012 in the Zohar; we are nearly in 2012 now. We are now in the age of the King Messiah. We will now embrace the people of Israel. We will all remember Allah together as brothers in Jordan and Egypt and the whole region; we will all enjoy the delights of the age of happiness, the Golden Age, insha'Allah.
ALAN BAKER: Insha'Allah
ADNAN OKTAR: Yes.. Insha'Allah. Prime Minister Erdogan's message to Jewish citizens on the occasion of the Hannukah holiday on December 27th, 2011 read: "Anatolia, the cradle of different cultures and civilizations for hundreds of years, has always been a center of tolerance, dialogue and mutual respect and understanding." He then went on to say, "I once again wish our Jewish citizens who share these ideas a very happy Hannukah, and wish them peace and every happiness."
ALAN BAKER: Well, I'm very happy that he said that, but the fact is that was never really widely reported on the Israeli media, and I think again, I think everything is body language..
ADNAN OKTAR: Trust me, I know the Prime Minister. He is a loving, compassionate and affectionate person we can all trust very much. He published that message officially. But it may not have been heard in Israel. We must strive harder to ensure that is it is heard in Israel. But I am certain and can guarantee that he loves you all and feel compassion for you.
ALAN BAKER: Thank you. Thank you very much, and I'm very reassured by what you say, and let me just add one thing; when I was Israel's ambassador to Canada between 2004 and 2008, my best friend in Canada was the ambassador of Turkey, and we used to meet together twice or three times a week and we had a lot in common, and I'd like this to come back; and I hope very, very sincerely that the relationship will get back to what it should be, because there's a very, very strong connection between the two countries, and we can't allow regional politics, whether it's Iran, or Hamas, or anybody else to try and harm this relationship. That's my message to Prime Minister Erdogan.
ADNAN OKTAR: The protection and well-being of Israel are under the control of Allah, insha'Allah. Allah uses His servants as His instruments. We are in the age of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), the King Messiah; your hearts can be at ease. We love you all. Allah has entrusted you to us. You are the children of the Prophet Abraham (pbuh). We will all rebuild the Masjid of Solomon altogether, insha'Allah, and open up the borders. We will talk together with our Palestinian and Israeli brothers, and have fun and happy times with them. Let your hearts be at ease.
ALAN BAKER: Thank you very much.
ADNAN OKTAR: Thank you. We will speak again, insha'Allah. I hope to see you in Turkey.
ALAN BAKER: Thank you so much.
ADNAN OKTAR: We hope to see you here. Thank you. Salam.

On Windows, once you plug in the device, it will mount a read-only cdrom device and the drivers are installed and configured. Wonderful user experience. I know because I tried it out on my wife's Toshiba notebook.
On Linux... well, it works but only after a little Google research. The device is a Huawei E270 HSPDA modem. Vodafone (UK) is also offering this device and there is a vodafone mobile connect card driver for various Linux distros. Unfortunately, their latest driver requires a higher kernel version than that of SLED 10. I could have used their earlier version (1.0) but the SLED 10 SP2 installed on my Thinkpad T61p is 64 bit and that didn't go too well.
My solution? Turns out that SLED 10 SP2 ships with a nice little program called umtsmon. The latest version is 0.8 and its working really well for me. You can also find it on the openSUSE Build Service. Some links as reference here and here.
I'm able to surf the Web on SLED 10 SP2 with my Huawei E270. The caveats (work-in-progress to resolve) are:
- I have to boot up my Thinkpad with the device attached so that /dev/ttyUSB* appears. If I hotplug the device while SLED 10 SP2 is running, it will auto-mount the read-only CD-ROM device with Windows drivers (not a big issue) BUT there will be no /dev/ttyUSB* available for umtsmon to work with.
- I have to run umtsmon as root because of some permissions issue with normal user unable to initiate a pppd session.
PS: With reference to my previous post on the NAT setup with Xen, hoping to bridge to the Xen clients on a private subnet so as to access the Web with the USB 3G modem attached.... another work-in-progress.

My school has some funding for books, but I am a new teacher and really don't know where to start looking so I would like some recommendations. Below, I describe my classes a little bit. These are for grades 9-12. I have two classes.... a true beginners group with intermediates mixed in and one student who is completely fluent, just has awful spelling (and after consulting the special ed teacher we both agree that there is language interferance as opposed to something like dyslexia). I also have a very advanced group-- many do better on tests in their other classes (like science and history) than even the native speakers. But I have a couple of high intermediates in there as well, that I feel are slipping through the cracks because I have to teach to these extremely advanced students or else they will get bored or resentful (and some are for being placed in the class). Anyway, I am digressing... I am hoping for next semester to get this straightened out and have a true beginner group focused on vocabulary an intermediate group focused on conversation and perhaps an advanced group focused on reading and writing. I think that the school would definately be open to my ideas and my laundry list, and there is a bit of a budget. Just when I arrived in August, there was no curriculum waiting for me. And some of the books and texts I did find, there isn`t enough of them for even half a class set. There are not really any objectives that were set out for me, unless it is just get them to make AYP (annual yearly progress, goals guided by the NCLB). I know my beginners need to learn the language and start speaking it, and my advanced students... I don`t know.. read better and improve their grammar, I really feel they are out of the scope of the ESL curriculum. For me, I received great training. I went to a top teachers college. My problem is really just lack of experience and also, I took the last four years off to start a family and so I feel a little rusty. I appreciate any suggestions to get started. Thanks!

If you look over some of the data, I think you'll see how essential constant, direct vocabulary instruction is at this age level.

Hiring people, buying companies and lavishly taking care of employees is expensive.
For the first time in its history Google is looking into corporate bonds to raise money. New CEO Larry Page is reportedly looking to net about $3 billion "to repay outstanding commercial paper and for general corporate purposes."
The move does not mean that Google is hurting for cash. Quite the contrary actually.
Despite giving employees a 10 percent raise across the board and adding 48 companies to its portfolio, Google is still sitting on $36.7 billion.
Still Google saw a 54 percent uptick in spending last quarter and Page is being aggressive with the company's money since taking over the helm earlier this year.
Needless to say Moody's Investor Service gave the offering an AA2 rating.

How would Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., have reacted to recent revelations that the U.S. government is collecting and storing nearly every citizen's phone records and gathering their electronic data?
From 1958 until his 1968 assassination, the FBI conducted extensive surveillance on Dr. King, amassing over 17,000 pages of material on his day-to-day activities.
Today King's legacy as a civil rights leader is celebrated; there is even a federal holiday named after him. But during his lifetime, the government tracked his movements, tapped his phones, bugged his offices and hotel rooms, and planted informants to spy on him. In addition, the FBI anonymously sent him a letter threatening to destroy his credibility and suggesting that he commit suicide to avoid this.
King was also separately targeted by an NSA domestic spying program called "Minaret." With others, including Muhammad Ali, Dr. King was labeled and watch-listed as a possible "domestic terrorist and foreign radical" suspect.
We know that Dr. King was aware of his constant surveillance and the threat that it posed to him, yet he continued to teach and promote the ideals of peaceful organizing and resistance, equality, fraternity, and freedom until his life was taken.
So how would he react to the recent disclosures that the NSA and FBI, along with the CIA, DEA, and even local law enforcement agencies like the NYPD are spying on U.S. citizens by collecting communication metadata and infiltrating public demonstrations, activist circles, and houses of worship?
Never Miss a Beat.
Get our best delivered to your inbox.
Today Dr. King would be confronted with the Orwellian truth that we are all under surveillance, although some groups – like American Muslims – are under more scrutiny than others. However, whether you are white or black, Hispanic or Asian, Muslim or Christian, the government is spying on all groups as potential "domestic terrorist and foreign radicals."
Just as it was 50 years ago, the NSA and FBI have once again been caught abusing their surveillance powers, infringing on the liberties they are sworn to protect -- all in the name of national security.
These government spying programs constitute a clear violation the U.S. Constitution's Fourth Amendment ban on unreasonable searches and seizures, and chills First Amendment freedom of speech.
Dr. King supported the Constitution as a framework for all citizens to achieve equal rights, and I believe he would have vocally opposed such government intrusions and spying. While he may have remained publicly silent on the government's unlawful invasion of his personal life, it's hard to believe that he would have sat idly by and let every American experience similar attacks on personal liberties as he faced while leading the battle for civil rights and the nation's soul.
To honor Dr. King's legacy and the values on which our nation was founded, Americans should work together to challenge these expansive domestic spying programs that are robbing us of our civil liberties.
Some members of Congress and the Obama administration make the claim that these spying programs are lawful under the USA PATRIOT Act and Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Dr. King would know better -- the Constitution is clear and these programs are illegal and need to be ended.

Always outspoken reality star Bethenny Frankel stopped by Access Hollywood Live on Friday and, as usual, no topics were off limits with the hilarious "SkinnyGirl" pioneer.
Following a clip from Bethenny's show, "Bethenny Ever After," in which Bethenny was seen trying on bras, Billy Bush jumped right into the good stuff asking, "Is there anything that you won't show on the show?"
VIEW THE PHOTOS: From Single 'SkinnyGirl' to Married Mom: 'Real Housewife' Bethenny Frankel
U.S. & World
"Full vagina," Bethenny deadpanned.
"But half is OK?" Billy asked, laughing.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Authors — Hollywood's Fave Bookworms
"Yeah. Like, quarters," Bethenny told Billy and Kit Hoover. "Upper and lower quadrants. I have standards!"
Bethenny, who got her reality TV start on Bravo's "The Real Housewives of New York," then branched off to a solo show with "Bethenny Getting Married?," now stars in "Bethenny Ever After," which follows her life as a wife and new mom to 10-month-old daughter Bryn.
"Little Bryn is the best – she stands on her own now," Bethenny told Billy and Kit of her daughter with husband Jason Hoppy. "Her little thing is to clap – 'If you're happy and you know it' — and she's happy and she's knows it, so she's clapping."

Adding, "She travels with me everywhere. I just love it so much. She's such a doll baby!"
"Let's say she's three or four years old — do you still have her on TV? Are you trying to wrestle with that?" Billy asked.

"No, I'm not trying to wrestle with that. There will be a very immediate future end to my reality television career – it can't go on forever," Bethenny revealed. "It will go on, but not for that long… I would probably say a couple more [seasons] but this isn't going on forever. We really want our private life back."
Another reason for ending the reality camera run is so that Bethenny and her hubby can enjoy more intimacy – though she says Jason isn't bothered by their highly public lifestyle just yet.
"It doesn't really affect my marriage. I mean, we're honestly a team," Bethenny told Billy and Kit. "If it started to affect our marriage we would stop. He enjoys it — not too much, where's it's like Spencer Montag or whatever — but he enjoys it… he would like to get our private life back also."
The couple will celebrate their anniversary this weekend and Bethenny says she plans to keep Jason… entertained.
"This weekend is going to be an all out sex fest," she told Billy and Kit. "It's our anniversary, and then we're going away for two weeks to celebrate our anniversary, locked down. And I'm going to show him the woman that I really can be."
Bethenny stopped by ABC's "Good Morning America" studios in NYC on Tuesday to promote her new book, "A Place of Yes," and happened to be scheduled alongside singer Chris Brown (who reportedly smashed a window and stormed out of the studio after he was asked about his 2009 assault upon former girlfriend Rihanna and the status of his probation).
"He had an entourage that was like Noah's Ark and I'm not kidding," Bethenny told Billy and Kit of Chris Brown's enormous posse. "And I had a non-tourage. I had like, no one with me and he had this huge entourage and he was definitely skittish.
"He was doing those like, jumps around what he was saying and he was like, 'What if that happened during that actual show? What if that could happen?'" she continued. "He was a little skittish — I will say that. But he was singing really well."
"Did you see him backstage throwing stuff around?" Billy asked, while Kit added, "Ripping his shirt off?"
"No! I'm really upset! The driver that had taken me there saw them replace the windows and saw [Chris] come running out with his shirt off," Bethenny said. "But I am just so upset that it couldn't have just been all about me on the day that my book launched. It was like, 'Why couldn't I have been there?'
"50 people! Caravanned Maybachs in," she added, of Chris's luxury car entrance. "I've never seen anything like it. That's where all that money gets wasted – it's so stupid. You need two SUVs and a Maybach? It's like, stop. STOP."
The 40-year-old entrepreneur says her new book, "A Place of Yes," is about "being open to a place of 'yes'" and "not making decisions out of fear."
"I was broke and I was alone and I still always just sort of stuck to the road and knew that I would get there," Bethenny said. "You have to grab your balls — you do! — and it's hard to get you want … but it's about getting it regardless of what other people think you should be doing, or the timeline that you should be working under."
"A Place of Yes" is available in bookstores now.

Sonic the Hedgehog to Return to TV in 2014
The Blue Blur known as Sonic the Hedgehog is set to make his triumphant comeback to television in Fall 2014, with a show tentatively titled 'Sonic Boom.'
An article on Hollywood Reporter reveals that the show will be broadcast on Cartoon Network in the U.S. and Canal J and Gulli in France in Fall 2014. Shortly after that, it will be aired globally.
The show will be CG-animated and will feature characters like the titular Sonic, Miles "Tails" Prower the fox and his arch-nemesis, Dr. Eggman. Judging from the teaser image shown above, the show will also star Amy Rose, the pink hedgehog, and a figure reminiscent of Knuckles the echidna, although this character looks to have a slightly larger build.
Sega of America will work together with Genao Productions to bring us 52 episodes of the Blue Blur's adventures in the new action-comedy. This is the fourth time that we'll see a Sonic series on air, but we'll have to wait until next fall to really celebrate his return.
Sonic's newest game, Sonic: Lost World, is due out on Oct. 29 for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.

When to get medical advice
You should see a GP if you have frequent or severe migraine symptoms.
Simple painkillers, such as paracetamol or ibuprofen, can be effective for migraine.
Try not to use the maximum dosage of painkillers on a regular or frequent basis as this could make it harder to treat headaches over time.
You should also make an appointment to see a GP if you have frequent migraines (on more than 5 days a month), even if they can be controlled with medicines, as you may benefit from preventative treatment.
You should call 999 for an ambulance immediately if you or someone you're with experiences:
- paralysis or weakness in 1 or both arms or 1 side of the face
- slurred or garbled speech
- a sudden agonising headache resulting in a severe pain unlike anything experienced before
- headache along with a high temperature (fever), stiff neck, mental confusion, seizures, double vision and a rash
These symptoms may be a sign of a more serious condition, such as a stroke or meningitis, and should be assessed by a doctor as soon as possible.
Causes of migraines
The exact cause of migraines is unknown, although they're thought to be the result of temporary changes in the chemicals, nerves and blood vessels in the brain.
Around half of all people who experience migraines also have a close relative with the condition, suggesting that genes may play a role.
Some people find migraine attacks are associated with certain triggers, which can include:
- starting their period
- stress
- tiredness
- certain foods or drinks
Treating migraines
There's no cure for migraines, but a number of treatments are available to help reduce the symptoms.
These include:
- painkillers – including over-the-counter medicines like paracetamol and ibuprofen
- triptans – medicines that can help reverse the changes in the brain that may cause migraines
- anti-emetics – medicines often used to help relieve people's feeling of sickness (nausea) or being sick
During an attack, many people find that sleeping or lying in a darkened room can also help.
Preventing migraines
If you suspect a specific trigger is causing your migraines, such as stress or a certain type of food, avoiding this trigger may help reduce your risk of experiencing migraines.
It may also help to maintain a generally healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, sleep and meals, as well as ensuring you stay well hydrated and limiting your intake of caffeine and alcohol.
If your migraines are severe or you have tried avoiding possible triggers and are still experiencing symptoms, a GP may prescribe medicines to help prevent further attacks.
Medicines used to prevent migraines include the anti-seizure medicine topiramate and a medicine called propranolol that's usually used to treat high blood pressure.
It may take several weeks before your migraine symptoms begin to improve.
Migraines can severely affect your quality of life and stop you carrying out your normal daily activities.
Some people find they need to stay in bed for days at a time.
But a number of effective treatments are available to reduce the symptoms and prevent further attacks.
Migraine attacks can sometimes get worse over time, but they tend to gradually improve over many years for most people.

Organic, vegan soaps from Hawaii make me feel like a tropical princess
I'm very proud to say there is definitely no shortage of organic, vegan bars of soaps. Vegan soaps are not only the healthiest for your skin but the quality of these soaps is unlike anything else. There happen to be a lot of fabulous vegan soap companies in Hawaii but I recently discovered a new tropical gem, Maui Soap Company. They are an independently run, small business that make vegan and organic bath & body products like lotions, soaps and lip balms that are simply exquisite.
I got the chance to try their Lime Litsea Soap ($5.49) and it was a tropical delight. These soaps are made on Maui and it's like they pack all the essence of the island in each bar of soap. I've been wanting to go to Hawaii for such a long time, and it's soaps like these that make me want to book a flight out there asap. Maui Soap Company uses the purest, most natural, organic ingredients. Here are the ingredients for this particular bar of soap…
Ingredients: Saponified oils (organic olive oil, organic palm oil, and organic coconut oil), mango butter, lime essential oil, litsea essential oil, and sprulina
I also got to try their Vanilla Lip Balm ($3.99). Vanilla is one of my all time favorite scents; I think it's because it reminds me of cake. So the thought of smearing vanilla, cake-like goodness on my smackers is always a good thing. This lip balm is soothing and it's the perfect consistency. We all know it's hard to find vegan lip balms. Most lip balms unfortunately contain bee vomit (which is what honey and beeswax essentially are). Seriously why can't all lip balm manufacturers rock candelilla wax in their lip balm formulas? Anywho, I frickin' love this lip balm. Bottom line: it smells delicious and it makes my lips feel nutritious. 😉
Ingredients: Organic palm fruit oil, organic coconut oil, candelilla wax, organic jojoba oil, vanilla oil, Vitamin E
I highly urge you to support these small, independently run businesses that practice sustainability, promote health and the vegan lifestyle.

- Why Conventional Soaps Suck «Vegan Beauty Review | October 11, 2010
I have the Maui Soap Co. lip moisturizer with SPF 15 and feel it dries my lips out and have to apply atleast 20 times a day. Is anyone else having this experience? I am about to throw it away.
I was fortunate to receive several Maui Soap Company products for my birthday. Boy, was I lucky! The lavender soap & lotion smell divine. I love the consistency & feel of the lotion – light yet powerful enough to turn back the clock on my leather hands 10 years. The vanilla lip balm is a miracle- I am allergic to most lip products but not this one. I love small, independently run companies that have a conscious as well as produce a product that is good for me & the earth – thank you!
Soaps from Hawaii really are superior. They smell amazing!
My wife bought this soap. What do I know about soap? I can't say I ever gave it much thought but I've got to say this Maui soap feels and smells different. It feels and smells good. I'm glad to see that you can use natural ingredients and only natural ingredients and still make something that works. Lots of things claim to be organic but seem to slip in something for texture or color or longevity. Not this one.
I've been using Maui Soap Company soap, lip balms and lotions for a while now. I have them shipped to California in large quantities and give them as gifts and use them myself. They brighten a room with their Hawaii tropical smells and are DELICIOUS on my skin.
Hawaii is the most magical, delicious place in the entire world. I have been lucky enough to go to Maui twice in the last seven years, for two weeks at a time! I can attest that those have undoubtedly been the best four weeks of my life. You should go if you can!
