By MICHAEL RATCLIFFE
Published: August 11, 2002
IT would be hard for the responsive traveler from Britain or America to visit the city of Dresden without some unease. The British-American fire-bombing of February 1945 has become an epic of the Second World War, and, like epics of earlier wars, acquires a deeper resonance every year through argument, refining and retelling. It is part of all our histories, and provides the inescapable context within which to marvel at what survived in Dresden, what has been restored, and what is happening there now.
Dresden has one of the most beautiful opera houses ever built and one of Europe's finest orchestras, which Wagner once compared to a ''magic harp.'' The art collections are world-class. The outer districts, rich in 19th-century villas and largely undamaged in the raids, rise from the great, curving Elbe and merge into vineyards and woodland. In a crystal palace for Volkswagens Dresden now has one of the most elegant car plants ever built, too.
Nothing here is done by halves. The domed Frauenkirche -- for half a century a heap of stones -- is rising again and will be a symbol of rebirth worldwide when it is finished in 2005; Americans and Britons are closely involved. The Residence, or Schloss, the royal palace of the Wettin dynasty, will take longer, but it, too, is returning to life. The new synagogue is open: resembling a fortified ark on the outside, with only one row of small windows, it is beautiful and consoling within, where a curtain of gold thread encloses the congregation like a tent.
The major historic attractions are all within a few minutes' walk of each other, around Theaterplatz and the Brühl Terrace. It would be possible to visit for the day from either Berlin (120 miles) or Prague (91), but I wouldn't recommend it. Dresden's too good for that. In April my partner and I stayed six nights and still left things to see next time. We spent three days in the city and three beyond, going everywhere on foot, or by tram and S-Bahn (local train).
Once you leave Theaterplatz, there is no disguising the fact that the old pattern of streets and squares vanished forever in 1945. The firestorm swept through the heart of the city and inner suburbs, and sucked the buildings hollow. The dead (35,000? 50,000?) could not be counted. Most of Theaterplatz was restored under the Communists, but as a kind of heritage island. The rest of the ruins were replaced by a new, utilitarian city: despite much recent planting and general cheering up, feelings of disorientation persist, and much remains to be done. It is crucial, therefore, never to forget one thing: despite the city's later tragic history, the key to the cultural character of Dresden remains pleasure.
Pleasure, playfulness and mischief. This is the capital of Saxony, and Saxons -- led by rulers who invested their wealth in beautiful things -- have always known how to enjoy themselves. On top of his opera house (1869), a mere goblet's throw from the Roman Catholic cathedral, the architect, Gottfried Semper, placed Dionysos and Ariadne, heading for ecstatic bliss in a chariot drawn by four panthers. Semper's theater staged the premieres of all Richard Strauss's most famous operas, where the pull of Dionysos is invoked in music as sexy and long-limbed as the satyrs and nymphs carved by Balthasar Permoser on the walls of the Zwinger Palace, rebuilt in the 1950's. Permoser's smiling, half-stoned people, their loins draped in pears, pomegranates and grapes, solicit without shame.
The Zwinger was designed by Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann in 1719 as a festive setting for royal entertainment: weddings, operas, fireworks and a porcelain collection whose painted figures by Johann Joachim Kaendler dance, ride, flirt and sing. In the Green Vault, a sumptuous collection of decorative objects and jewels at the Albertinum, a tiny, naked Diana dips an ivory toe into a bath filled by silver-filigree dolphins. Pleasure all the way.
The Wettins began collecting in the Renaissance, and came to believe that they might achieve influence and power through the art they had collected. (Well, it had worked for the Medicis). Augustus the Strong (1670-1733), king of Poland and elector of Saxony, aspired to be the Sun King of Eastern Europe and compared himself to the rulers of India, China and Japan. Pre-Hollywood Western fantasies of the mysterious East reach a zenith in the Green Vault, where the most popular item is the glittering scene of miniature Indian figures, gifts, elephants and horses entitled ''The Royal Household on the Birthday of the Grand Moghul Aurung-Zeb.'' This tableau is one of my favorite things in all Dresden -- the inventiveness and craftsmanship (to say nothing of Augustus's magnificent diamonds) are stunning. Be warned, though: the Green Vault is a toy box of gorgeous treasures for the irresponsibly rich, so the high-minded sometimes take against it.
Above all, Augustus was afflicted to near bankruptcy with what he himself called la maladie de porcelaine, setting up the first successful European porcelain factory in Meissen under Johann Friedrich Böttger and famously buying 151 Chinese pieces from the King of Prussia in exchange for 600 dragoons. Some of these soldiers were later used to attack Saxony, so you can see why the Prussians eventually ran Germany. But the ''Dragoon'' vases survived and can be admired at the Zwinger once its Porcelain Gallery reopens Oct. 8 after renovations.

German City Needing Aid Shows Debt-Crisis Tentacles: Euro Credit
Offenbach, a city of about 120,000 people neighboring Germany's financial capital Frankfurt, is so mired in debt it had to ask the state of Hesse for a 211 million-euro ($277 million) bailout in June.
In so doing, it became one of the largest of 102 municipalities to tap 3.2 billion euros of aid Hesse is making available as the first of Germany's 16 federal states to introduce a formal rescue fund for struggling towns and cities.
Offenbach, in Frankfurt's shadow as the financial center rose to prominence during the past two decades, has lost its place as an industrial hub as household goods maker Rowenta Werke GmbH and printing-press maker Manroland AG cut production at their factories. As Germany, the biggest national contributor to euro-area bailouts, pressures indebted European countries to cut down on spending, its own cities are buckling in the absence of a mature municipal bond market and as public-finance lending shrinks in the wake of Europe's sovereign debt crisis.
"The financial situation of Offenbach is not sustainable," said Michael Beseler, who was the city's treasurer until Sept. 6. "The rescue package by the federal state of Hesse is not enough and is only a step in the right direction."
The debt crisis is prompting banks to take a more prudent view of default risks, Michael Kemmer, the general manager of the BdB Association of German banks, said in an e-mail in June. "In addition, the new regulatory framework has consequences for loan commitments."
Increasing Pressure
New Basel capital and liquidity rules for commercial banks and institutions specializing in covered bonds that come into force in January are increasing the pressure on over-indebted German municipalities.
The overhaul, known as Basel III, was designed to prevent a re-run of the crisis that cascaded across financial markets after the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. in 2008. "With the advent of Basel III, banks tried to push interest rates up for our loans," said Offenbach's Beseler. "We rely 100% on bank loans."
A second bailout for Greece that involved private investors writing down the value of sovereign bond holdings has altered lenders' perceptions of what had previously been deemed risk-free assets.
"The new normal is that banks have begun to look at municipalities through a different lens, with a greater emphasis on risk," Martin Junkernheinrich, a professor of applied environmental research and public economics at the University of Kaiserslautern, said in a phone interview. "The Greek debt crisis shows that states and, of course, cities can go bust."
Running Deficits
One-third of all German cities spend more than they earn, and there is no reversal of this trend in sight, according to an April survey by state development bank KfW Group, which is based in Frankfurt.
"Those cities that face financial problems expect the situation to worsen," KfW said in its annual survey of cities. "Above all, big towns with more than 50,000 inhabitants are affected." In that group, the proportion of municipalities running deficits reaches two-thirds, the study showed.
The state of Hesse, home to affluent cities including Frankfurt and the capital Wiesbaden as well as Germany's single-biggest employment location at Frankfurt Airport, is leading the charge on municipal bailouts.
Under the proposed debt restructuring, municipalities can receive aid equal to as much of 46 percent of their debts from Jan. 1, 2013, delivering on an election promise by Hesse's Prime Minister Volker Bouffier two years ago. A total of 106, or 25 percent, of Hessian municipalities qualify for the assistance and 102 have applied, according to a July 4 statement by the finance ministry.
Rescue Mechanism
"Hesse has acknowledged that there are many municipalities which cannot solve their financial problems on their own," Stefan Loewer, a finance ministry spokesman, said. "The rescue mechanism aims to facilitate a partial debt restructuring and will help the cities to stand on their own feet financially in years to come."
Until the 1950s, Offenbach was the center of Germany's leather industry with more than 10,000 workers, according to city records. Frankfurt's neighbor was also a manufacturing hub, counting on companies such as Rowenta, owned by French SEB Group since 1988, and Manroland for tax revenue.
"The first recession after the second World War in the late 1960s, followed by the oil crisis in the 1970s, prompted the decline of many industrial and leather companies," Juergen Eichenauer, the head of Offenbach's city museum, said. "The demise of all these companies has laid the foundations for the city's debt burden as high unemployment pushed up social costs."
Crisis Outbreak
Since the outbreak of the 2008 financial crisis, Offenbach has lost 20 percent, or 13 million euros, in corporation tax revenue. Manroland, which once employed more than 5,000 people in the city, filed for insolvency protection last year. Chemical makers Invista Resins & Fibres and Allessa closed their last production sites in 2009 and 2010, respectively, the city said.
Offenbach's unemployment rate was 10.6 percent in August 2012. That compares with an average 5.7 percent for the state of Hesse, according to the German labor office. Without 438 million euros of short-term loans, almost four times what it borrowed in 2000, this one-time stronghold of German manufacturing can't pay its bills.
Tightening Bottleneck
Some of the biggest providers of public finance are ceasing operations in the wake of the debt crisis, tightening the bottleneck further for municipalities.
Franco-Belgian lender Dexia SA, once the world's biggest municipal lender, is being broken up after Europe's debt crisis reduced its ability to obtain funding. Depfa Bank Plc, the Irish unit of bailed out German lender Hypo Real Estate and once one of the biggest lenders to German municipalities, halted new business after a July 2011 ruling of the European Commission.
Commerzbank AG announced on March 30 that it will wind down all public-finance activities to comply with European Union regulations for its Eurohypo unit, which provided 256 billion euros in annual real-estate and public financing at its peak in 2008, according to spokesman Heinrich Froemsdorf.
Banks will increasingly differentiate on the basis of municipalities' risk profiles, the Association of Covered Bond Banks spokesman Christian Walburg said on Aug. 27. The volume of German public covered bonds, which banks use to finance their loans to public creditors, may drop to a more than 20-year low of 326 billion euros in 2012, according to the group.
German Pfandbriefe
The volume of covered bonds backed by public funds declined 39 percent to 356 billion euros from 2008 to 2011. The volume of covered bonds backed by real estate loans rose 3 percent in the same period, according to the association.
While Spanish 10-year bond yields reached a euro-era high on July 24 climbing to 7.62 percent, German Pfandbriefe, which are backed by mortgages or public-sector loans and are guaranteed by the borrowers, touched a record low of 1.81 percent on Aug. 30 as Europe's debt crisis prompted investors to shun peripheral euro-area sovereign debt.
Benchmark 10-year German bund yields slid to a record 1.167 percent July 20, while two-year securities dropped to negative yield July 11.
Deutsche Bank AG, Germany's biggest lender, on the other hand, is sticking with municipal lending, albeit under more stringent criteria. For the past 10 years, the bank has implemented internal credit ratings on municipalities.
"The creditworthiness assessment gives the municipalities the opportunity to figure out their weak spots," Frank Hartmann, a spokesman for Deutsche Bank, said in an e-mail. "Municipalities can figure out, based on the assessment, how they can become more attractive for potential external investors such as insurance companies or pension funds."

I have recently discovered that salesforce.com is much more than an online CRM after coming across a Morrison's Case Study in which they develop a works management application. I've been trying it out with a view to recreating our own Works Management system on the platform.
My background is in Microsoft and .Net, and the obvious 1st choice would be asp.net. However, there's only really myself with .net experience and my manager with a more legacy Synergy programming background, and I am self taught and am looking at evaluating other RAD options (eg Ironspeed).
the nature of the business is in the main 2-5 concurrent construction type contracts that run for 3-5 yrs each, each requiring 15-50 system users. Traditionally we have used our character based Works Mangement system for everything and tweaked it for each contract. The Salesforce licensing model on the face of it suits this sort of flexibilty, but I'm worried about the development flexibilty/learning curve and all the issues that surround lock-in. There doesn't seem to be much neutral sober analysis of the platform on the web that isn't salesforce's own material/blogs
Has anyone any experience of developing an application on salesforce as compared to the more 'traditional' .Net route?

okay so I have windows 8 and am running Lubuntu as a VM using vmplayer. I have my laptop hooked up to an external monitor so I have the VM full screen on my laptop and windows 8 on the monitor. What I want is, suppose I have a word document opened up in windows 8 but I'm typing in my VM right now and I want to quickly switch to the word document in windows 8, is there a keyboard shortcut / way to create a keyboard shortcut to switch between the VM and host operating system? Because moving the mouse and clicking between the VM and host operating system is getting a bit annoying.
You can use CTRL + ALT to escape the VM and use ALT + TAB to switch to it again. To let the VM grab your input, try pressing CTRL + g when VMware Player is focused (this at least works in VMware Workstation).

We present a method to determine 3D motion and structure of multiple objects from two perspective views, using adaptive Hough transform. In our method, segmentation is determined based on a 3D rigidity constraint. Instead of searching candidate solutions over the entire five-dimensional translation and rotation parameter space, we only examine the two-dimensional translation space. We divide the input image into overlapping patches, and, for each sample of the translation space, we compute the rotation parameters of patches using least-squares fit. Every patch votes for a sample in the five-dimensional parameter space. For a patch containing multiple motions, we use a redescending M-estimator to compute rotation parameters of a dominant motion within the patch. To reduce computational and storage burdens of standard multidimensional Hough transform, we use adaptive Hough transform to iteratively refine the relevant parameter space in a "coarse-to-fine" fashion. Our method can robustly recover 3D motion parameters, reject outliers of the flow estimates, and deal with multiple moving objects present in the scene. Applications of the proposed method to both synthetic and real image sequences are demonstrated with promising results

African summit announces urgent measures to protect elephants
GABORONE, Dec. 3 (Xinhua) -- Delegates at the first ever African Elephant Summit announced on Tuesday urgent measures in a bid to reverse the trend in illegal killing of the mammal and the illegal ivory trade.
Speaking during the opening of the three day event, Julia Marton-Lefevre, Director General of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), said despite laudable successes in Botswana and across eastern and southern Africa, where concentrates a large elephant population, increasing threats are faced across much of the continent.
"Enduring poverty and rampant corruption, fuelled by an increasing demand from Asia, are creating an impossible situation for Africa's elephants," Marton-Lefevre said.
She said this summit is to commit implementing urgent measures to reverse the disturbing pattern of recent years.
Fourteen draft urgent measures were later announced by the summit, including a zero tolerance approach for wildlife crime, strengthen interagency cooperation in range, transit, and consumer states, enhance capacity of law enforcement and wildlife protection agencies at national level, mobilize financial and technical resources from various national and international sources, out national studies and public awareness programs, database building, etc.
Marton-Lefevre urged countries related to provide political support at the highest level to ensure the implementation of the urgent measures.
"We must address the issue of organized crime in ivory trafficking, and help to ensure that those responsible are apprehended and held accountable for their crimes -- facing tough penalties, including seizure of assets, that would act as effective deterrents," she said.
For his part, Botswana's president Ian Khama said at the opening that the growing trade in illegal ivory is a national issue, not a sectoral issue for many African countries.
"This requires leadership, commitment and direction at the highest political level to ensure that the necessary resources are made available for a highly integrated approach to law enforcement, " Khama said.
Botswana boasts of a healthy elephant population. An official survey in 2012 shows that elephant population stands over 200,000, the biggest population in Africa. This success is attributed to the tough protecting measures of Botswana government, which sees effective interagency cooperation involving police, defense forces, finance, customs, the judiciary and foreign affairs.
However, growing challenge faces the elephant population in other parts of Africa. According to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora(CITES), new analyses released on Monday find that if poaching rates are sustained at current levels, Africa is likely to lose a fifth of its elephants in the next ten years. African elephant population is estimated at around 500,000.
The latest analysis of poaching data estimates that in 2012 some 15,000 elephants were illegally killed at 42 sites across 27 African countries participating in Monitoring the Illegal Killing of Elephants (MIKE), a program of CITES.
According to MIKE analysis, this amounts to an estimated 22,000 elephants illegally killed continent-wide in 2012, a slight reduction on the estimated 25,000 elephants poached in 2011. The situation is particularly acute in Central Africa, where the estimated poaching rate is twice the continental average.

No joke – over 50% of diet products simply don't work. So what about Amberen? We wrote an in-depth review, closely examining the ingredients, side effects, customer service quality and clinical research. Also, we scrutinized countless user reviews and customer comments found online. Lastly, we condensed all of the facts to give you the information you need.
What You Need To Know
Firstly, Amberen is a formula made specifically for women suffering from symptoms of menopause. It is supposed to address weight gain, hot flashes, low sex drive, sleeplessness, fatigue, night sweats and low energy levels. To use Amberen, you simply take two capsules (one orange and one white) each morning after breakfast. As for the ingredients used in this supplement, they include; ammonium succinate, calcium disuccinate, magnesium disuccinate, zinc difumarate, glycine, tocopherol acetate and pharmaceutical-grade monosodium l-glutamate.
Amberen is made by Lunada Biomedical, a company located in Van Nuys, CA. It was first released in 2010 and is sold with a 45-day money-back guarantee. We like that we found a few success stories and you can buy this product directly from the website ($99.98 for a three-month supply), but read on…
I did have a little weight loss but I think it's because of the increased energy…
FTC Lawsuit – "Should You Be Worried?"
The first thing that concerned us with Amberen ingredients was an FTC investigation. According to our Research Editor, "After taking an extensive look at Amberen, we discovered that the FTC sued this company over false claims. The letter stated that there are no clinical studies to support promises of weight-loss."
According to one customer, "This product just didn't work. I've been suffering from pre-menopause for years and have been trying to find something 'natural' to help me. This product kept me awake all night long, made be feel cold all the time and saw an increase of facial hair. It also didn't do anything for my mood and anxiety either. Wouldn't recommend to anyone."
Another complained, "This product did absolutely nothing for me."
Scroll below for one of the best products we've seen over the last year.
Side Effects – "Be Careful!"
There are many customer complaints concerning Amberen side effects. One user said, "Amberen may work for some people but the negative effects I had made me want to write this review. First, I took this supplement for two months and NOTHING happened. I did not drop a pound, my hot flashes increased and became unbearable and I got heartburn so badly I had to stop taking the pills."
"I had to stop taking it after 16 days…I have a rash and hives…I have never in my life had a reaction like this before. I had a constant headache and I think it kept me up at night. On the plus side, increased energy, but I actually GAINED weight on this product. So disappointed," offered another.
Our research has told us that if a particular facet of a diet supplement or weight loss program is significantly troublesome (serious side effects, company lawsuits, no clinical evidence) the actual chances of long-term results are low. If Amberen does in fact cause a lot of people to experience adverse reactions, this could be quite serious.
The Science – "Legit?"
We noticed that the official website for Amberen talks about proven clinical science. However, if you take a close look at the studies, you will see that they do not support weight-loss as claimed. This is why Lunada Biomedical got in trouble with the FTC. For us at DietSpotlight, we have to see real scientific research supporting what the company says about the supplement. If there's none to be had, why should the dieter stick around?
The Bottom Line – Does Amberen Work?
Alright, should you speed out to buy up all the Amberen? We like that the official website sells the supplement and there are customer service options available, but we have reservations about supporting a product when there is simply no factual evidence supporting a connection with weight-loss. Furthermore, the FTC lawsuit is very concerning and plenty of women are clearly experiencing side effects from.
Dieters who want to drop pounds and slim down quickly may try going with a supplement that does not cause side effects, is backed by real clinical results and doesn't break your bank account. It's also a huge bonus if the government has taken no interest in the company.
Among the best products we've seen in 2016 is one called Leptigen. Its proprietary blend of four ingredients has been proven in documented clinical studies to help accelerate metabolism and improve fat loss results. Moreover, we can't find any user complaints about side effects and the customer feedback on the web reveals that dieters are seeing incredible results.
Also, the company behind Leptigen is so confident in their product that they're offering a Special Trial Offer, which is a positive sign.

EXCLUSIVE: Libyan Opposition Leader Says 'There Is No Way' U.S. Arms Will Go To Extremist Rebels
Part of the debate in Washington regarding the U.S. and coalition intervention in Libya is whether or not to arm anti-government forces there. While some, including President Clinton, support the idea, some Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill are urging caution. "I think at this stage we really don't know who the leaders of this rebel group are," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said. And House Intelligence Committee chairman Mike Rogers (R-MI) said yesterday that the U.S. should proceed with caution because extremists, including Al Qaeda elements, are operating within the Libyan rebel movement.
Ali Suleiman Aujali, former Libyan ambassador the U.S. and now the Transitional National Council's official U.S. representative, wrote in a Washington Post op-ed last week that the U.S. must arm the rebels. "We need better arms and the training to use them." Today in an exclusive interview, ThinkProgress asked Aujali if he could alleviate concerns that U.S. and allied arms might end up in the hands of extremists:
AUJALI: The Libyan people don't want to change the Qaddafi regime with an extremist regime. This is number one. Number two, of course, if Libya, they received the armament or receive training assistance, of course it has to be used and has to be in the right hands. There is no way they will make these arms available for everybody to get them and do what they want with them.
This is a very serious issue. We have to be responsible and we are responsible. But we ask of course the international community to help the rebels, airstrikes by itself is not enough. We need weapons to fight Qaddafi. We need weapons to defend ourselves. We need weapons to protect the Libyan civilians which was recognized by the international Security Council.
We also asked Aujali to respond to a recent reported proposal from Muammar Qaddafi's sons Seif and Saadi in which their father would be removed from power to make way for a transition to a constitutional democracy under the direction of Seif. "This initiative is born dead," Aujali said, adding, "There is not much difference between Qaddafi and his sons." Watch the entire interview:
Aujali also spoke at the Center for American Progress today and insisted that the opposition movement in Libya is not an extremist one. "Nobody can claim that al Qaeda is behind this or extremist is behind this," he said, adding, "We will never allow al Qaeda, the Libyan people they will not change Qaddafi's regime by al Qaeda or by extremists."
Defense Secretary Robert Gates last week appeared to concur with this sentiment, saying there is "absolutely no evidence" that Libyans support Al Qaeda.
WR: First welcome to the Center for American Progress. Since we are going to be talking a lot about the rebel movement, I wanted to ask you about some news of the day. It came out, it was reported today that a couple of Qaddafi's sons are offering a deal in which they will remove him from power and have one of his sons lead the transition into a sort of more constitutional democracy. What is your response to that?
AUJALI: Thank you very much for inviting me, but, uh, Libyan people, they said they would not accept any offer for Qaddafi and his family to stay in power. There is not much difference between Qaddafi and his sons. This initiative is born dead, I believe.
WR: Okay, transitioning to a hypothetical post Qaddafi-era in Libya, it's my understanding that Libya is comprised of many competing tribes. And that coupled with the fact that there are some elements, however small they are, of extremists fighting for the rebels. I'm wondering how you plan to unify all those competing factions in a post Qaddafi-era, and unify the country.
AUJALI: Well, I believe — strongly believe — that Libyan people, all of them, are against the Qaddafi regime. For the last 30 years, they've experienced the regime and experienced that there is no way to compromise it. And even the tribes that are under Qaddafi's reach now, they don't agree with him. I think the Libyan people are all agreed for one thing, Qaddafi must go, and freedom and democracy must be achieved.
WR: So right now they have the common goal of getting rid of Qaddafi, but after that happens is there some sort of plan to unify these competing factions?
AUJALI: There unified because all — all from East to West, North to South — Libyan are organizing the interim council, and that's the body which will deal with the transition period. And I believe Qaddafi will have no way that they will be supported by Libyan tribes. Some of them are already split against him. This is a unique chance for the Libyan people to raise against this regime. And I believe with the support of the coalition, with support of the alliance, with the determination of the Libyan people that will make this a fact.
WR: Will the Transitional National Council reach out to those tribes who support Qaddafi and to Libyan citizens who also supported his regime?
AUJALI: Well if you go to the website there is no tribe supporting Qaddafi at all. I mean just that maybe some people they make some statement and even some statement like that I haven't seen. The Libyan people they decided to get rid of Qaddafi. And the extremists you are talking about, I can't see them and if there is some extremists, maybe some of them, now they have no chance, just to defend themselves against Qaddafi. We cannot say that this is Libyan, they have relations with Al Qaeda, they have relations with extremists, I think that is not true at all.
WR: Coming off of that, there obviously are some pro-government forces obviously fighting against the rebels. Will the National Council guarantee those pro-government forces right now, human rights and due process in a post-Qaddafi era?
AUJALI: Of course. We [have a] completely different mentality from Qaddafi's regime: "if you are not with me than you are against me." They have to observe human rights. They have to observe the rights of the prisoners of war – if you want to call them that way. Of course, if not than we, I am the one who will stop against them and condemn that, any action against human rights happen in Libya is not acceptable.
WR: One concern within the US and other countries that have been considering arming the rebels, one concern they have is they don't know who they're arming and I'm sure you'll probably get into this a little bit later, but I'm wondering what you would say to them to alleviate these concerns that arms won't end up in the hands of extremists and anti-American forces.
AUJALI: Of course, look, the Libyan people don't want to change the Qaddafi regime with an extremist regime. This is number one. Number two, of course, if Libya, they received the armament or receive training assistance, of course it has to be used and has to be in the right hands. There is no way they will make these arms available for everybody to get them and do what they want with them. This is a very serious issue. We have to be responsible and we are responsible. But we ask of course the international community to help the rebels, airstrikes by itself is not enough. We need weapons to fight Qaddafi. We need weapons to defend ourselves. We need weapons to protect the Libyan civilians which was recognized by the international Security Council.

It was interesting Wednesday, as Kevin Kolb talked about his ribs injury and how his recovery has slowed of late, Kolb referenced the idea that some aren't sure if he would even want to come back and play, especially with the Cards in the straits they are in. Kolb wants to return — I didn't really doubt that, and he is genuine in talking about his frustration in not coming back — but I was impressed he could connect dots in what people might be wondering.

Women, beginning with "A" 351—420 of 420
Incredible Pass****
Short review: Incredible Pass has made a solid comeback with the improvements to their network of porn sites. This megasite updates regularly with fresh faced girls that you probably haven't seen before. Some of their models are pictured on these pages and you'll see a nice mix of black, Latina, and even some Middle Eastern girls alongside the more European-looking pornstars. The sites that you'll find inside this network include horny moms cheating on their husbands, cum sluts brushing their teeth in jizz, and even weird amputee porn.
Content Amount: The Incredible Pass concept is simple: get 20 sites with one password. This site prides itself on finding new talent and fresh faces and since they have been filming furiously every day for the last 90 days, they have added over 100 new girls.
Content Quality: Updates come with videos along with photo galleries of both HQ images and screen captures. I was impressed with the quality of the high-rez pics and although you'll probably want to save some of them to your hard drive, there is no .zip file provided.

Yo La Tengo at First Avenue, 2/4/13

Yo La Tengo
First Avenue, Minneapolis
Monday, February 4, 2013
New Jersey indie rock pioneers Yo La Tengo's performance Monday at First Avenue had a very "ripped from the headlines" feel. It's unusual for the prima donna rock star to acknowledge that anything else in the world is happening the night of one of their shows, but modest-spoken Ira Kaplan was more than happy to crack wise about being in Minneapolis the same day as Barack Obama. "I want to thank you for coming here," he said. "You could've gone to the ball game across the street, or gone to cheer the president."
Kaplan made that statement while he was still seated on a stool for the more staid of two sets the evening had to offer. Later on, he theatrically choked lengthy passages of feedback out of his guitar and swung his body through so many exaggerated poses, it almost felt like he was compensating for not being the U.S. chief of staff.

But these outside details mattered little to the quietly fervent crowd. Kaplan, drummer first lady Georgia Hubley, and secretary of bass James McNew built up a night to be cherished in local Yo La Tengo lore by forgoing an opener, playing a quiet set followed by a distinctively louder one, and notching about three hours onstage.
"Nothing ever stays the same," they sang together on a delicate take on "Ohm" the standout track from their two-week-old Fade. ("The statute of limitations on calling it new hasn't run out yet," Kaplan noted.) Lined up straight across the front of the stage, they played almost daintily on a dim set with a trio of cut-out wooden trees behind them, and pulled the almost silent audience crowd closer to catch every detail.

And that "Ohm" lyric proved to be the theme of the night in big ways and small as nearly every song had a slightly different configuration, and Kaplan kept his guitar tech busy with requests for new guitars. With "Two Trains," a gauzy, slow beach jam, the excited tension in the room ratcheted up even further as Hubley displayed her cool, breathy pipes as snow fell outside.
"We played this song in the Entry in '85 when we were opening for Soul Asylum," Kaplan said jovially to introduce Fakebook original "Did I Tell You." And Hubley caught him, "Eh, I think it was later..." No matter, as they settled into mellow version -- Kaplan singing intimately and Hubley with brushes on her drums. Continuing on a less-traveled path, the I Shot Andy Warhol soundtrack rarity "Demons" reverberated next, and reminded us that Hubley sings with far more range of expression than Nico ever could. Next, the psychedelic new track "The Point of It" was one of the understated pleasures of the entire evening.
By this point, the crowd's ingested liquor was starting to take effect. They stayed generally polite, but each break between a quiet number to follow was punctuated by more yells than the one before it. YLT stayed focused, and eased into two more from the delicious Fade -- the gorgeous winter beauty "Cornelia and Jane," and then the droning, Nick Drake-ish "I'll Be Around."
"We're going to do a couple more, do some housekeeping, and play some more," Kaplan said genially. Then, a drunken fan tried to get McNew's attention and got the response, "I'm kinda doing something right now." And what they did was wrap the set with the swelling 1995's "Tom Courtnenay" and folkies rejoiced as McNew closed things out singing lead powerfully on "Black Flowers," one of the choicest I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass standouts.
When the band returned, there was far more room onstage, and immediately a more electric feel to the proceedings. Yo La Tengo slowly built up momentum with the krautrock-y "Stupid Things" and began what would be a barrage of lengthy solo passages from Kaplan. In this case, on the noodle-draped end of the spectrum. A squalling, low roar rose next as they revamped the Summer Sun-era relaxant "Today is the Day" into a fuzz-ridden riot. More intense convulsing from Kaplan came with it, and with his electric guitar slung low, he transformed into a tantrum-like state for several minutes.
McNew's hypnotic rising and falling action on his bass encited cheers for "Moby Octopad," and the place really erupted for the first of several times for the rest of the set. For many, 1997's I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One was when Yo La Tengo became a dynasty, and this mix of doo-wop lyricism and that nasty-ass organ solo has aged extremely well. "Is That Enough" was jarring for its simplicity in rock chord strumming to follow, but no momentum was lost for another I Can Hear staple, the gaze-y "Autumn Sweater," which brought out Kaplan's vocal gifts as he toyed with the words, forming them differently in his mouth each time.

"Big Day Coming" brought each member of the group to turn up the amps, and then the night just gave way to a load of noise and as much grandstanding as they could tolerate in themselves. It's likely that Kaplan sang "Let's wake up the neighbors," but it was impossible to tell with the din pouring out from onstage. He even grabbed a second guitar mid-song to lay waste to. When finished, he rewarded himself with a slug of beer.
If there were any criticism to levy against Yo La Tengo during this night of many pleasures, it would be that Fade closer "Before We Run" sounded naked without the album's gorgeous orchestral backing. Well, if you can't have a trombone, you might as well get a lengthy noise passage, right? "Ohm" returned as a "plugged-in" reprise next, and then a ragged "From a Motel 6" loaded with whammy bar punctuations.
And then, to the delight of many, the second set closed out with a 20-minute, Goliath-sized version of "Pass the Hatchet, I Think I'm Goodkind." Needless to say, the temptation to employ Townshend and Van Halen-esque tactics was too much for Kaplan. While McNew and Hubley kept time patiently, trippy projections dancing all over the stage, the frontman had his shirt tails flopping the wake of his instrument abuse. It could've gone on three times as long and not been long enough, and they left the stage to a cavalcade of appreciation.
To start the encore, Kaplan commented first on the "minus 100 outside" temparature and that they were from "the balmy Northeast" before launching into a song that they weren't going to play, a deconstructed version of the fuzz-laden "Cherry Chapstick." Hearing it acoustically is hearing it anew, and it proved for the umpteenth time that evening that an original arrangement is only one way of many to skin a song.
After a time machine trip back to "Lewis," Kaplan got serious and said the band would be remiss to not toast the Troggs' frontman Reg Presley, whose passing was announced earlier that day. Doing so, they first broke out a Condo Fucks rocker "With a Girl Like You" (originally recorded by the Troggs) and then brought up a couple friends to play one one of "the dwindling number of songs we've never played, the Troggs' classic hit "Wild Thing." It was equal parts raw and reverent.

And though they could've called it a night, two more acoustic Fakebook cover tunes, "Tried So Hard" and "Griselda" came for the second encore. Even with a slightly diminished crowd, these final moments felt as powerful as any of the voracious melodies of earlier in the night. With fragility and grace, Kaplan and Hubley shared the vocals with love for the songs' original creators. And leaving us with the image of an old lady moon was about perfect. "We were really hoping that the president was gonna come tonight," Kaplan said wryly before they left the stage. "But you've been so nice that we don't even miss him."
Critic's Notebook
Overheard: "Yo La Tengo's been doing this for my whole life." "You probably wouldn't like Die Antwoord." "I think the singer from Fun. was wearing a basketball jersey, but I don't really remember."
The Crowd: Quiet, reverent, and bespectacled.

Not sure if there's a plugin for this, but I'm hoping someone can find a way to help out here.
This is the testing ground for a client's site I'm doing, but what we're looking to do is try to have a static "home page" (which was accomplished with home.php) but be able to somehow use a "teaser" plugin on that page to feature certain posts, depending on various reasons, but having nothing to do with how recent they are or what category they're in.
The reason for the static "home page" is because we didn't want the whole scrolling posts thing... and just because we make a post sticky in one category, we don't necessarily want it sticky on the index page.
Short of hard-coding the links in, I'm at a loss here. Is there any type of plugin instead of "adhesive" or some other "sticky" That we can use to pull in posts based on a tick box or something?
Again, just because something's on the "home" page, doesn't mean we want it sticky on it's own category page, and vice versa...
Thanks in advance for any help on this... I tried searching but don't think I'm using the right words for my search...

I have set up field in the betta boxes, how do I insert them into my page.
I have set up field in the betta boxes, how do I insert them into my page.
Hi doublek611
In the plugin, there is a
docs directory with a help file that explains how to show the custom fields in your templates.
Essentially, the custom fields use the WP default 'custom fields', so you use the built in
get_post_meta() function. Have a look at the docs, it explains it nice and simply.
Let me know if you need anything else, I hope you enjoy the plugin :)
Thank you, I am looking at the plugin section of my dashboard, and can't seem to see the docs directory, any leads please.
total newbie to wordpress but loving it. The ease of real time editing of my site, when compared with dreamweaver or webplus
The documentation isn't available in the WordPress dashboard. You need to open a file browser and go to
/wp-content/plugins/betta-boxes-cms/docs/. There you will see an
index.html file you can open in your web browser that has all the info you need on showing the fields in the templates.
thanks - is that http://www.wordpress.org//wp-content/plugins/betta-boxes-cms/docs/
or whats the correct url before the /wp-content/plugins/betta-boxes-cms/docs/
Hi Shaun,
Kindly give me the full url to the docs of betta boxes.
I just can't find it.
I'm going to copy and paste the answer I just put in the other thread you started about this:
Thanks, I installed the plugin directly to my host, hence did not initially download it to my laptop.
The keyword of description is "Download it first"
Thank you again.

Here is the web site. http://reachourfans.com
when i enter the site, it's loading nothing, and after a minute it's beginning loading the site. I've switched off the Update module, and installed it to another server it's working fine, and in my local server it's working with no problem
as far as the site is working in other server, i think that the cause for the not loading is in the server side.
What can be the cause for the above issue? I'm not so geek in server/administration tools
