Back in 2000, Sydney hosted the Summer Olympics. As enjoyable as they were, the best thing about having the Olympics was the comedy television we had on in Australia at the time.
Before the games we had The Games, a "mockumentary" by John Clarke, Bryan Dawe and Gina Riley about the Sydney Organising Committee. During the event we were lucky to have The Dream with Roy and HG on every night. Both were top quality. Brilliant and hilarious and unmissable.
However the best thing about The Olympics was this.
This appeared in The Indian Express on the 22nd of September 2000.
The caption is:
IOC president Juan Antonio Samaranch (L) and an unidentified official watch the judo preliminaries at the Olympics. The 80-year old Samaranch, who left the games following the opening ceremony to be by his dying wife's side, returned to the games late on Wednesday, only two days after her funeral. (AFP)
It makes me proud to be an Australian.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) - Consumer products giant Procter & Gamble Co. said Monday it will produce a Dunkin' Donuts line of coffee for sale at retailers ranging from Wal-Mart Stores Inc. to Kroger Co., as the East Coast coffee chain seeks to expand to new U.S. markets.
P&G PG, -3.25% the maker of Folgers and Millstone coffee, will begin selling the packaged Dunkin' Donuts coffee to 40,000 retail outlets nationwide by mid-August and broadly in September. Cincinnati-based P&G said the deal will be structured through a licensing arrangement, where typically companies like P&G pay brand owners a percentage of sales as royalty payments. P&G spokesman Bryan Brown declined to specify the terms.
Canton, Ma.-based Dunkin' Brands Inc., bought last year by a group of private equity firms including Bain Capital Partners and Carlyle Group, has been seeking to expand its chain of 5,400 U.S. stores beyond the Northeast, where most of its stores are located, to take on rivals such as Starbucks Corp. SBUX, +0.79%
Procter & Gamble doesn't break down its sales by brands, Brown said. The company said earlier this month second-quarter sales for the snacks, coffee and pet care unit rose 2% to $1.1 billion, driven by a double-digit gain in coffee sales.
The coffee, in original and other flavors, also will be distributed to drug stores and club houses such as Costco Wholesale Corp. COST, +1.04% and CVS Caremark Corp. CVS, +1.95% Brown said.
P&G said it will support the product launch with a broad marketing campaign that includes TV, print and radio ads and a dunkinathome.com Web site.
The closely held Dunkin' Donuts has a total of 7,200 stores in 30 countries, with about 200 of those inside U.S. retailers.
Procter & Gamble shares fell 1.2% to $64.60 in mid-morning trading.

Swiss Banks in Italy Raided
October 30, 2009 Offshore Banking, Offshore Taxation, Taxation in Italy, Taxation in Switzerland
The Italian branches of Swiss banks were raided by the Guardia di Finanza on October 30th.
According to Italian authorities, the operation was aimed at ensuring that all relevant taxation data was being provided by Swiss banks to the Italian tax authorities. In total, 76 branches were visited across northern Italy by the Italian Financial Police, Guardia di Finanza, and tax inspectors from the Agenzia delle Entrate, Italy's Inland Revenue Services equivalent.
While no banks opted to comment on the raids, the Swiss government summoned an Italian ambassador on the same day to justify the action. Swiss government officials told Giuseppe Deodato, the Italian ambassador, "Switzerland has cooperated to a great extent with the international community, with European Union countries as well as with Italy in particular in tax matters". Deodato explained later in the day on Swiss radio that the move was not aimed at being an unfriendly move towards Switzerland.
According to Italian government estimates, Italian nationals could have as much as €600 billion held in offshore funds, much of this in Swiss banks. It is hoped by officials that Italy's current tax amnesty will attract approximately €100 billion back into Italy. Franco Frattini, Italian Foreign Minister, said "I don't think the path of measure and counter-measure is the correct one," and "Counter-measures certainly do not help", warning Switzerland against any possible retaliation towards Italy about the amnesty or bank raids.

MORE's first pillar – without out, quite honestly, MORE would not exist.
MORE was originally created by a group of individuals who simply wanted to "ride" their bikes on trails in the woods and back-country of Northern Virginia. Once the group was established it became obvious that the "network" of trails available to ride mountain bikes in the Mid-Atlantic was limited, thus, the group augmented its focus a little and began working on building the foundation of MORE's Advocacy arm, and the next of our pillars: BUILD…

We are talking about the release of shared, not the server, here. I was also thinking about the general layout of packages/classes etc, and we may have to careful review them before releasing the final 1.0 version, because then we are dead for years ! IMO, the very first step (once we have fixed the last few pb we have with the GSSAPI) would be to release shared-0.9.20 Then we will have a few time to get all of it reviewed (I have started that 2 weeks ago, cleaning up around 80 files out of 800) and eventually adding OSGi stuff around it. At this point, shared is now 7 modules, and I really don't see why we should keep shared-ldap-jndi and shared-ldap-schema separate. If we have a look at shared-ldap, then it's immediate that we may have to move out some packages and rename some others : - o.a.d.s.ldap.shared.converter.schema should be more likely o.a.d.s.ldap.shared.schema.converter - o.a.d.s.ldap.shared.csn should be in another package with entry, subtree, sp, aci, filter and cursor : they are LDAP internal objects, distinct from messages, ldif or schema. May be something like o.a.d.s.ldap.shared.objects ? - o.a.d.s.ldap.shared.name could also be part of the previous package (o.a.d.s.ldap.shared.objects) In other words, I *know* for sure we have to reorganize those guys, and I really think we should release before starting moving around those guys more, or adding more features in it. We can define a schedule for that we can all agreed on, and get it done quickly, don't you think so ? -- Regards, Cordialement, Emmanuel Lécharny www.iktek.com

Hey guys
So yesterday my mom and I had to make the sad decision to put down our dog. Rhett Butler was a sweet boy and this all came on very quickly. I took him to get a sonogram on his heart and they found a heart based tumour that was already pumping blood into his heart and couldn't be operated on. Than I had to break the news to my mom, which I hope never to have to do again, and we made the decision to put him down so that he wouldn't go in pain. It isn't easy ever losing an animal, who was a part of the family, but I know that he is in a better place with the other animals that we have lost.
So, with my sadness I am sorry that I couldn't review a book today. I am just missing him so much that it's all I can do not to cry. My family and I would appreciate prayers in this time of need.
RIP buddy...till we meet again I love you and miss you dearly.

Kamalnath RajputRetd. Central Govt Employee
I am a retired central govt. employee & my age is 84years. I was suffering from Parkinson's disease since last 10 years or so. During my job days I suffered a paralysis attack & luckily at that time my posting was in Kerala. So with a minimal first aid like treatment from an allopathic hospital, I insisted my family members to take me for ayurvedic treatment & by that, I was fully recovered in about 60 days.
So for my Parkinson's problem I visited many ayurvedic centres in Delhi, but from everywhere I returned hopeless & dissatisfied, as they all are running massage parlors on the name of ayurveda & charging very hefty amount & that too without giving any relief to the patient.
At last I went to Arogyam, already dissatisfied with many places I told Dr. Ashish that I will pay your fees only after I will get some result, to which he happily agreed. I underwent for 21 days treatment schedule & I was more than satisfied by the result achieved.
God bless
Gunjan Lal VermaProfessor at DU
It was like impossible & at first I didn't think it could possibly work, but by the 5th day of my treatment I was walking like I did in my twenties (I am 54now ). I was more than satisfied by the result from each of the traditional ayurvedic treatments.
I wish you all the best & thank you for the healing you have brought to me. God bless you.
Raj VashishthCentral Govt Employee
I have been suffering from chronic & severe back pain for more than two years. I had taken panchkarma treatment from kerala for the same problem nearly about 10 -12 years ago, when I had been posted there, but for now it was not possible for me to go there & plan my treatment. So I visited almost 5-6 ayurvedic panchkarma centres in delhi who claimed to be performing treatment same as of the traditional Kerala ones & i spend or I must say wasted a lot of money with these fake centres but at every place I found myself to be cheated on the name of kerala treatments.
Finally with a last ray of hope & very low financial savings I went to AROGYAM. Dr.Ashish very patiently took down my history & explained me the treatment to be offered & finally the amount (that was nearly 1/4th of my expectations) & after that I told them my whole history of how I got cheated & I told the doctor that I am already very disappointed so please treat me & cure me.
Now I must say proudly that after just 14 days of treatment schedule I am free from my pain & I am living a pain free healthy life. Thank you Arogyam.
Manish GuptaGovt. School Teacher
It was nice to be there at Arogyam for my constantly crushing back pain. I went for 11 days treatment programme, that was exceptionally relieving & that helped me so much. The staff is fully professional & they know how to use their talents & knowledge. Good work Arogyam
Harsh SharmaWorks at BirlaSoft
I am working as a trainer in a multinational organization, due to which I have to travel a lot & have to keep myself fit & energetic. But last month I got over exhausted because of some family conditions & work load & was in deep stress & depression. I was feeling very low in every situation. My wife who herself is a yoga teacher suggested me to heal myself the natural way. So after searching a lot on net we finally selected Arogyam. There I took 11 days corporate rejuvenation as well as body & mind relaxation programme, during which a miracle like thing happened & I was all back again. These guys gave me actually traditional Panchkarma therapies, that not only healed me physically but mentally as well as spiritually also. I liked most the shirodhara therapy, that was the best part of my therapy schedule. The medicines & oils they are using had a different kind of healing touch & the staff is very much dedicated,qualified, polite & experienced. Thank you so much guys
Col.Inderjeet Pratap SinghSenior Citizen
I am a young person of 74 years. I was suffering from osteoarthritis, for which I was taking the allopathic medicine since 7 years. One day I got a pamphlet of Arogyam & then I decided to pay a casual visit to see their method of treatment & most importantly charges.
When I went there, the staff's behaviour was so polite & humble, & they looked so confident & professional that I decided to go for a trial session of 3 days.
In those 3 days I felt so relaxed, that I started my morning walk without any knee cap or support & I was surprised to see the positive result of the treatment.
Than I went again for a complete course & I was already very impressed by them that I recovered very fast.
And the other best part is their nominal charges on which they offer special discounts for govt.employees & senior citizens.
Thank you Arogyam & God bless you
Parul SareenStudent
I am a 1st year student. My elder sister bought us the online coupons for Abhyangam sessions at Arogyam. During my therapy session I came to know that this is not a spa but an ayurvedic centre. So after my therapy session I consulted the Dr for the marks all over my face. Dr. thoroughly examined me & advised me to undergo ayurvedic beauty package. I bought that instantly & the results I got within 3 months made me to dance with joy as I was getting compliments & my face was totally free from any marks or spots. The products they are using are totally genuine & herbal as I often asked them about the name of the products that they were using & they never tried to hide it from any patient.
Hats off to u Arogyam
TanviIT Professional
I went there with a dilemma in my mind, that how may I can loose weight in a healthy way & that too without skipping my favourite foods.
But the time I had an interaction with Dr. Ashish, more of my dilemma got converted in to faith & see now after completion of my 1 month weight loss programme, I regained my lost confidence. Now I am very happy & grateful to AROGYAM for the positive change they brought in to my looks & confidence. Thank you AROGYAM
Nisha GoyalLawyer
My mother had an acute & severe headache of unknown cause & origin. We visited many allopathic, ayurvedic & other doctors, but neither of them were able to even diagnose the problem. After 2-3 months with this condition my mother was crying of pain. She was not able to sleep, her eyes became swollen, her b.p. kept on rising & many other complexities arised. My maternal uncle gave us the suggestion to visit Arogyam, where he was already taking the treatment for his spondylitis. We went there & the Dr. , took the full history of my mother, he did some called prakriti parikshan & finally after correlating all gave us the diagnosis. It gave us the trust & we started my mother's treatment. On the very 1st day of treatment my mother was able to sleep & we all felt some relaxed. It took her 12 days to completely recover, but that recovery was very much special for our family. The medicines & oils they were using had a different impact make patient believe that he is in right hand with right kind of medication. They are really matching their tagline "A Healing Touch". Thank you guys. Thanks a lot
Nitin PoppliBussinessmen
My dad had a paralysis attack some 2 years back. We had taken him everywhere where we could have been, but that all went useless. We were loosing our hope & specially my dad who was a winner in every situation of his life was becoming more & more depressed & that was the most hurting part for all of our family.
Than our one close relative gave us a suggestion to go for the Panchkarma treatment, that is becoming more & more beneficial for patients like my dad. After a long search we went to Arogyam, with a minimum hope but we returned with a confidence that our father will be able to walk again.
Dr.Ashish gave us the confidence & the motivation to my dad, he lifted his low morale, gave him the hope of recovering soon. It took us 1 month to notice the recovery & almost 3 1/2 month to fully recover & to see our father back in his confidence.
Thank you Dr.Ashish for your overwhelming support & motivation. You are really doing a blissful job. Thank you once again
Manpreet KaurAssistant Manager in HDFC
I am working as an assistant manager in a Bank. After the delivery of my 2nd child, all of a sudden I started gaining weight & some spots & blemishes appeared over my face. I went for all checkups but the reports were absolutely normal.
One of my friend who had taken some treatment from Arogyam, took me over there. After a thorough history & body type analysis Dr. Ashish prescribed me some medicines & some therapy sessions & also gave me specific diet chart. After taking the medicines & therapy sessions for about 10 days, I noticed the recovery, the blemishes were lighten down & my weight was less by 3 kg. After getting such wonderful results, with full faith I continued the treatment for about 2 months, in which my face got completely clean & my weight was down by 11 kg
Sameer NairStudent
I am a college student & I was suffering from rheumatoid arthritis since 3 years. My parents have done everything they could have been, but my condition got deteriorated.
We had visited the best doctors & taken their best treatments, but all didn't helped me & I was very much depressed & tensed.
My father than came in contact with Dr.Ashish through a common friend, who asked my father to visit Arogyam just casually. My father told me all this, & I was initially reluctant to go there but finally we went Arogyam. Dr.Ashish treated me as a friend & I all opened up my frustrations & feelings in front of him. He than took my complete history of disease, medication & all with the specific prakriti parikshan, he explained my disease to us & has treated me in just 16 days.
During my treatment period I found a very trustable friend in Dr.Ashish, who just not only healed my physical ailment but also builded me mentally & spiritually.
Thanks a ton Arogyam & Thanks a lot my dearest friend Dr. Ashish

The employer of the man killed Wednesday after a trench collapsed on him initially "did not tell the truth" about the hole's depth and could face criminal charges, county records show.
The body of KRW Plumbing worker James Rogers was recovered several hours after a trench he was in collapsed at a Washington Twp. construction site early Wednesday afternoon.
A Montgomery County Sheriff's Office report obtained by the Dayton Daily News on Friday indicates KRW Plumbing's owner initially told deputies the trench on Claxton Glen Court was seven feet deep.
When Occupational Safety and Health Administration representatives arrived, Rick Williams of KRW "admitted the trench was 12 feet deep," according to sheriff's office records.
The report also states OSHA investigators would present their findings to the Department of Justice for possible criminal charges against Williams "due to lack of proper safety precautions at the job site."
The report did not specify what the safety precautions involved. A trench five feet or deeper requires a protective system unless the excavation is made entirely in stable rock, according to OSHA.
Attempts to contact Williams on Friday were unsuccessful. An OHSA official in Cincinnati said Friday she was not aware of the sheriff's office report but would seek to obtain a copy.
OSHA Assistant Area Director Gaye Johnson referred further inquiries to the Department of Labor in Chicago. OSHA's investigation could take up to six months, said Scott Allen, that department's director of public affairs.
"It won't be just about this incident," he said. "We'll look at the company and try to determine if all of the (OSHA) standards and regulations" are met.
Allen said "OSHA would consider forwarding a recommendation for criminal charges if the violations were willful and egregious."
Rogers, 33, of Winchester in south central Ohio, was laying piping in the trench made of hard-packed clay at 463 Claxton Glen near Marshall Road when the collapse happened shortly before 2 p.m. Wednesday.
More than two dozen safety vehicles responded from multiple jurisdictions, and a portion of Marshall Road was closed for hours. Dozens of police and fire personnel responded before his body was recovered shortly after 9 p.m., said Bill Gaul, Washington Twp. fire chief.
Rogers was working in the trench dug by Williams on a new home construction site when the company owner saw dirt from the sides of the hole had collapsed, burying Rogers, according to the sheriff's office report.
"Williams immediately screamed out loud and ran to the trench and began digging with a shovel in an attempt to free Rogers," the report states. "Williams said he heard 'groaning' from Rogers, but Rogers was unable to speak."
KRW worker Ron Ison Jr., who had been dumping gravel in the trench to properly place sewer pipe, heard Williams scream and began helping him dig to free Rogers, the report indicates.
Ison said he continued digging until Washington Twp. fire officials told him to stop "as it was too dangerous to continue digging in the unstable trench," according to the report.
The trench was one of the deepest the regional technical rescue team has encountered, its coordinator, Washington Twp. Fire Capt. Michael Guadagno has said. The rescue team's equipment is only made for trenches eight feet deep, and he has said the team had to custom build shoring while on site.
Rescue personnel could not recover the body until shortly after 9 p.m., when they found it about 10.5 feet down, according to the report.

We feel the birth pangs of Moshiach. G-d helped us through our labor pains of oppression for generations. Now it is time for us to push.
Imagine what we can accomplish in this world and who knows what the impact can be in shayamin.
Throughout our history the women have saved the Jewish nation. As we all join together on Shabbas and raise our voices as one we too can use our gift of speeech to increse our merits and bring the geulah closer.
The current target for our International Tehillim Group is 1000 Jewish women, uniting every Shabbat from wherever they are during daylight hours, through reciting the powerful words of Tehillim. Each Shabbat we cover the sefer Tehillim as many times as possible. This week we are currently reaching 3 rounds of the sefer Tehillim plus.
We are taught that " A person who guards his tongue from Lashon Hara santifies his faculty of speech. Blessed with this merit, his prayers and words of Torah will be accepted by G-d" Guard Your Tongue - Adapted from Chofetz Chaim Pg 187.
Since our Tehillim group is focused on hastening the Redemption, from this week we are adding to our weekly email reminding of the Tehillim to be said on Shabbos, a teaching about Guarding Our Tongues. One of the women in the group also reminded us that a valuable tool to guarding our tongues is increasing in Bitachon and Ahavas Yisrael. For this reason we hope to also learning something related to Ahavas Yisrael and Chassidus.
Please come and join the group. We have over 100 Jewish women located in Israel, USA, Canada, South Africa and Australia. That is onlyone tenth of the way to our target. Please join us in reciting the Tehillim.
We also have the opportunity for you to sponsor the learning of Smiras HaLashon or Ahavas Yisrael or a teaching regarding Tehillim in our weekly email. Details for this partnership with this beautiful project will be going up soon. Please come back to visit for further details or email Shoshanah TODAY.

Leggatt Hall, with 338 single rooms varies from three storeys to five storeys and is located on Stuart Street. The 114,000-square-foot building includes two courtyards and a pavilion at its entrance.
The building is clad in natural limestone keeping with the overall aesthetic of the existing buildings on campus while the design's use of multiple planes creates a unique sense of depth, solidity and architectural character.
The residence is divided up into "houses" with roughly 35 people per house, as well as a lounge, kitchen and study area. There are three houses per floor in Leggatt Hall. Much of the focus within the residences is on the creation of social areas, places in which students can meet, lounge and study with other students thereby enhancing the sense of community on campus. The residence design makes use of the multiple common areas both within and beyond the houses, including the exterior landscaped courtyards which provide low-wall concrete seating areas surrounding large lawns.

Episode 420 • November 5, 2016
Welcome to November and the start of the holiday season. The holiday season actually started with Halloween, but with all the fall harvest festivals it is hard to think about Turkeys and Christmas. Now we are going into the 'winter' at full speed! There are winter color plants, both indoor and out, that we can consider for our homes and gardens. Now that the Cubs have won the World Series, you can stop putting off all those outside chores and consider planting something new in the garden! This week we feature some great camellias that will bloom into the holidays! What a way to celebrate the Cubs win and the holidays!
For the last few weeks we have told you that seats are running out on our tour, well, we are down to our last few seats. With the prediction of cold and wet (i.e. snow) this winter, you should consider joining us in the sun! Check out our 'tour' page for more info.
Plus one more sad note… we are just a few weeks away from our last show of the season. We are wrapping up our 11th season on the 26th of November, but not to worry, we are signing new contracts with the TV station to be back in March 2017, for our 12th season!
This week we featured...
Fall and Winter Camellias
The winter months can be boring in the garden. There is not usually a lot of color to enjoy. One plant that will brighten up your garden in these dreary months is the camellia. The Sasanqua Camellias are a variety that blooms in the late fall and into winter, with wonderful color. The interesting thing about these plants is that they will tighten up when it gets cold and then when the sun comes out they will open up their blooms and even set new blooms! They are also a wonderful plant the rest of the year too, even when they're not blooming. Brian at Tsugawa Nursery (360-225-8750) in Woodland brought out a few of his favorites to share with us. The first one was a new double called 'Showa-no-sakae'. It has incredible pink flowers on a taller plant. A shorter shrub form with pink flowers was next, called 'Jean May'. It can be kept even shorter with regular pruning. A great holiday bloomer was next; 'Yuletide'. This one is an old favorite with its deep red petals and bright yellow center it is perfectly named for this time of year. There is a new variety of 'Yuletide' called 'Pink-a-boo' with the same bright yellow center and soft pink petals. These both will bloom through the holidays. The next variety was called 'Bonanza' and it had a little tighter dark pink or red colored bloom. The final one we saw was from the Ice Angels series of plants, called 'Winter Snowman'. It had a bright white bloom so it would brighten up any area in the winter garden.
If you are not sure of which plant you like, Tsugawa's had a large board with all their camellias posted on it, so you can compare them without wandering around the garden center! The ones we saw were just a few of the varieties that you will find at Tsugawa's or your local independent garden center. If you are looking for some great late season, into winter color, you should check these out.
Ninth Moon Floral Design - Mum-vember
November is also Mumvember at Lan Su Chinese Garden (503-228-8131). The whole month is dedicated to the chrysanthemum and they are celebrated with a cut flower display, educational talks and even plants for sale. This year they are kicking off the celebration with their 3rd annual Ninth Moon Floral Design Showcase. 25 floral designers will be putting together outstanding displays featuring the chrysanthemum. There will be prizes for the top designers including a 'peoples' choice' award where visitors get to vote for their favorite. Leanne Kesler, one of the co-founders of the event told Judy that these displays are over the top and viewing pictures of the entrees from last year… she's right. If you want to see these great floral designs you have to come this weekend, the judging ends Sunday afternoon.
Mumvember doesn't end there. One of the slogans for the Lan Su Chinese Garden is 'never twice the same' and a walk around the garden in November proves it! There are over 800 potted chrysanthemums and 80 different varieties are on display in the garden. During the celebration you will learn about a lot of the lore surrounding mums. For over 2,000 years the Chinese have been growing and hybridizing these wonderful flowers. Did you know that the Chinese thought the chrysanthemum could give you long life. In fact there is one story of a lake in China that was surrounded by mums and if you were to drink the water from that lake it was supposed to give you 100 years of a happy and healthy life. That is why the Chinese would brew a tea made from the leaves of the plant and even made a rice wine with the leaves as well. They are also having special chrysanthemum speakers and events throughout the month. There is something planned for every Saturday, so don't forget to check the schedule on their website for more details. There are also a lot of plants that are showing off in the garden right now so stop by and enjoy the garden as well as Mumvember!
Rose Garden Winter Pruning and ADA Changes
The winds of winter are blowing and if you would like your roses to survive you need to do a little selective pruning now. To see how to do that we traveled up to the International Rose Test Garden at Washington Park. There we met with Harry Landers the curator of the rose garden to see how they prune the hundreds of roses for the coming months. His first piece of advice was to cut at wrist height. That means you should cut off the canes at the level of your wrists at your side. This will keep your plants from rocking back and forth in the wind. The rose plant doesn't have very deep roots and so a good strong wind will blow over canes and, sometimes, even the whole plant. We saw that when we were visiting! Later in the winter, around President's Day in February, they will cut the plants down to around knee height and get them ready for the growing season.
We then walked over to the Rosarian Rose Garden to talk about some other big changes happening at the garden this winter. Harry showed us where they will be taking out a group of stairs to install ramps with gentle inclines for people with mobility issues. This is will take place over the winter but most of the garden will remain open. The construction will also require that a lot of roses will have to be removed. Don't worry, they are being transferred into pots and will be placed back in the garden when construction is done!
Another big event for the coming year is the 100th anniversary of the garden. There are a bunch of events being planned, and details will be coming out soon. We can tell you that there will be a special rose named for the anniversary. A yellow, hybrid tea rose will be named soon and there will be a big celebration in August to celebrate. Keep on watching Garden Time for more details!
Veteran's Day Memorial Plants
With Veterans Day here you may be looking for a way to memorialize a loved one. William and Judy paid a visit to Al's Garden Center in Woodburn (503-981-1245) to learn how you can create a memorial garden. There are various meanings for different plants and we covered just a couple. We talked about the various ways you can choose a memorial plant like by fragrance or color. You may also choose a plant that held a special meaning to the person you are memorializing. Other things you can do would be to use a statue in your garden or by attaching a ribbon, flag or banner to a plant or container to mark it. Remember, you must have permission to bring a plant into a cemetery or on public property. Also, you don't have to lose a loved one to plant a memorial garden; you can mark any big occasion by planting a special plant.
TOW – Raking Leaves for Mulch
Tired of bagging your leaves? Here is a quick tip that will help your plants and save your back! Rake your leaves into your garden beds. This will help the plants by protecting them from the bitter cold, plus it will also keep the rains from compacting your soil during the wet months ahead. This spring you can compost the leaves to finish the job that nature started or you can put them in your yard debris container where they will take up less room than they do now.
Chestnut Roast and Festival
'Chestnuts roasting on an open fire'… We have all heard the old holiday carol, but few of us have ever tasted a roasted chestnut, even though they grow in our area. A few years ago we heard about a chestnut farm near Hood River and we did a story up there, so we decided to pay a return visit and learn more about these traditional, but underused nuts. Bernardo is the owner of Nella Chestnut Farms (1-800-400-3658). Bernardo is Italian and his experiences with this nut have a deep rooted tradition. Even Judy, who is also Italian, has had chestnuts with her family for meals and snacks. Many cultures from Italian, to French to Asian, use this nut in their cooking. In Europe you can find vendors on the street corners during the fall, roasting these for shoppers. To harvest them you have to make sure that you are not using the Horse Chestnut (these can make you sick), the correct ones are like a big sharp, fuzzy looking pod. Once the pod falls from the tree you can step on the pod to have the nut pop out. Then take the biggest ones and cut them with an 'x' on the outside (to prevent them from bursting in the oven) and then roast them for 25 minutes at 400 degrees, you can then eat the yellow meat inside. You can even cook them in the microwave! There are lots of other ways to enjoy these naturally delicious nuts and you can find more recipes on the Nella Farms' website. You can even order them on-line. Check them out this weekend for their annual Chestnut Roast at their farm in Hood River, taking place both Saturday and Sunday between noon and 4pm.

Workshops will be hold on Friday, August 29, after the main conference. They are 150 minutes in length. Participants are encouraged to bring along their own laptops for hands on exercises. Please note that this list is still subject to change.
Klaus Förster
As of Firefox 2 the Mozilla team introduced mozStorage, a database API to communicate with local, flat file SQLite databases through C++ or Javascript. This workshop will show how to create a clientside, database driven SVG application utilizing this setup. It's targeted at SVG developers with a thorough knowledge of scripting and beginning to intermediate knowledge of relational databases, respectively the use of SQL. As the provided example deals with mapping, interest in mapping and GIS is welcome, although not crucial to be able follow the workshop.
The course will last for 120 minutes and is divided into three sections
What is SQLite? Learn how to create, query and modify a SQLite database with the SQLite Manager extension. Load GIS data (Shapefiles) and tabular data using the ogr2ogr utility provided by GDAL
Why and how does Firefox use mozStorage in combination with SQLite? Create a simple Javascript library that uses mozStorage to query and modify a SQLite database. Deal with security issues when using mozStorage.
Use SQL-statements to query point, line, polygon or annotation layers along with additional data for tooltips, styling and the like. Build a Javascript library to transform "Well-known Text" (WKT) presentation of geometry columns to appropriate SVG path or circle elements. Add a thematic layer with coloured, scaled circles presenting power stations by type and capacity. Query and display detailed data onclick. Modify and store label position of annotations.
All you need to create the sample application is a Texteditor of your choice and Firefox 3 with the SQLite Manager extension on Linux, Mac or Windows. A sample database with geometry and data for the region of Tasmania will be provided. Vector and statistical data for the demo SQLite database has been downloaded from Geoscience Australia and is used under license.
As this example demonstrates clientside database storage it must be run locally. Please download tasmania.tar.gz, unpack it, open tasmania_init.html with Firefox 2 or 3 and continue to the demo (Screenshot).
Eugene Lazutkin (dojotoolkit.org)
One of the major additions to Dojo since last fall was dojox.charting --- simple charting package on top of dojox.gfx, which leverages SVG, or other graphics facilities if SVG is not available. This course discusses design objectives and correspondent decisions, the final API we come up with, and how SVG shaped the package. Short introduction to dojox.gfx is given as well.
Tobias Hauser (Arrabiata Solutions GmbH)

Jon A. Cruz (Inkscape, Developer and Board Member)
Introduction to Inkscape
This course introduces students to Inkscape and its use in creation of SVG for applications such as print, web, art, illustration and diagramming. It will cover what Inkscape is and also what it is not. Some of the uses for which Inkscape is appropriate will be shown, along with some of those that are best suited for different software. Each of the main tools will be explained, with information given on the available options and some of the uses they can be put to. A few dialogs that are most common for basic use will be presented.
The course is intended for the novice who wishes to learn how to start using Inkscape and the basic user who wishes to fill in gaps in knowledge to cover the full set of core tools. By the end of the course students should have learned enough to feel comfortable opening up Inkscape and getting started on graphics, art, illustrations or diagrams.

text: ORIGINAL: drab4 A 10 week cycle with Eq would be fine. Eq has a very similar ester as that found in deca. So what can be said for one, in terms of how long it "needs" to be run, also applies to the other. In reality, even a 6 week cycle with either steroid would be perfectly fine. Just frontload if that is what's required. But anyway there is no case to be made that Eq "needs" to be run for a longer time than deca does. These two drugs have practically identical half-lives.
