If you're looking for a hidden gem on the most desirable part of panama city beach, this is it! Our townhouse, beach haven, offers the comforts of home along with the allure of the beach that will make your vacation memorable.There are very few 3 bedroom town homes on the beach in this area! Whether you are looking for relaxation or adventure it can be found right here!
Pull into our 1-car garage to keep the vehicle out of the sun & make unloading a breeze. No waiting for elevators.
Step into our completely remodeled home, furnished in beautiful tropical decor where the view of the beach will take your breath away. Plus our open floor plan & 10 ft ceilings allow for a panoramic vista of the 'world's most beautiful beach from every square foot of our first floor. The newly renovated kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances, a gas range & quartz countertops. The dining room table seats 8 with additional seating for 4 at the bar. We provide both colorful fiesta ware dishes for that special celebration and melamine if you would rather be beach casual. It is a fully equipped kitchen for those whose relaxation & enjoyment includes cooking.
Our living room has ample seating for watching the flat screen tv with its dvd or the tide roll in. Cozy up on the overstuffed chaise to enjoy a good book from our collection or one of the many movies provided in our entertainment center, or you can access the free wifi. The sofa also converts to a queen bed for first floor sleeping. For added convenience we have a half bath on this level.
Our very large patio offers a peaceful view for your morning coffee, a wonderful place to gather for lunch or dinner and a fantastic view of the sunsets. Don't forget your camera! From the private patio you are just steps away from the surf & sand. If you prefer you can just relax in a chaise and listen to the waves and the seagulls while watching for dolphins. Direct access to the beach makes our townhouse unbeatable! The new charcoal weber grill is perfect for barbecuing while not missing a sunset. Now this is what coming to the beach is all about! The second floor houses 3 completely remodeled bedrooms with all new bedding & linens throughout. The spacious master suite provides a comfortable king bed and a gorgeous view of the sugar white sands and the rolling waves. Totally furnished in shell motif, it boasts a large walk-in closet plus black-out curtains to keep the room dark so you may sleep in (you are on vacation after all). A flat screen tv & dvd player provide for even more entertainment. The new master bath has a double sink vanity with quartz countertop & jetted-tub for soaking off that suntan lotion as well as a separate walk-in shower.
The bunk room, a kids paradise, has 2 new sets of bunk beds with a staircase that makes it feasible for adults to safely venture to the top bunk. The stairs themselves provide drawers as does the unique built-in closet which is now an entertainment center. This room adorned in red, white & blue also has a flat screen tv and a dvd player.
The 3rd bedroom, themed in sea life, has another king size bed with again all new furniture, mattress and linens so choosing the 'best' room will really be a challenge. Again here you will have your own flat screen tv and dvd player. This floor also offers a full sized washer & dryer in its own closet and out of your way. Even in this area you will find lots of the extras you need even down to the laundry supplies. We have tried to think of everything. The guest bath is conveniently located here and hosts a high-end vanity with granite top plus a tub/shower combination.
Within walking distance of your front door you can reach many fantastic restaurants and cafes, bowling, mini-golf & beach memorabilia shops, walmart & publix grocery are with 1 1/2 miles. We provide a book full of brochures, menus and maps of the area.
Jet ski, parasailing and other water sports can be rented on the beach right outside our door, but first you must leave the patio and be willing to wiggle your toes on the white powdery sand.
We provide large colorful beach towels for adults and also some very special ones for the children. Please explore the garage with the whole family where you will find all sorts of fun beach toys, rafts, tubes, boogie boards, skin boards and beach balls. Of course you will also find the beach chairs here.
For the very special baby beach-goers we provide a pak n play plus the linens, a bumbo, a high chair and some other baby items.
We strive to make your vacation one in which you will be leaving with some sand, some shells and an ocean of wonderful memories. We look forward to sharing our beach haven with you.
We purchased this townhouse in the summer of 2013 as a get-away for our family. We have three young boys who are very active and truly enjoy playing in the waves and chasing seagulls & each other on the beach. They all love to swim and enjoy all sorts of water sports. We live in Panama City and it has been a dream of ours to own a little bit of paradise on the beach. We are very excited about sharing our home with your family and have tried to think of all that would make your stay comfortable and memorable. We love to travel but try to pack light, thus we have strived to provide all the necessities so that you just need to bring your clothes and get groceries once you arrive.
Marilyn Percy purchased this townhome in 2013
The location is perfect for access to all the Panama City Beach attractions and the best restaurants. This town home has the largest patio of any we've seen and a floor plan that provides a vast panoramic view of the water. Having the bedrooms on the second floor allows the children to sleep peacefully while the adults enjoy the rest of their evening.
The best feature by far is the close proximity to the beach & water. Unlike a high-rise condo we are literally 4 steps down from the private patio to the sand. A few steps over the sand dune and your toes are wet. We never have to wait for an elevator.
We enjoyed our stay this summer. It is a beautifully decorated, clean and fully stocked. Marilyn was very helpful and kind. We were surprised by all of the extras in the condo, games, beach towels and toys and even coloring books and crayons for the little ones.
Our stay was priceless. We loved every minute of it. One of our best vacations to PCB. The condo was absolutely gorgeous. I had to send the owner an e-mail about a rocker, and she answered me right back. She is very nice and great to rent from. We plan on renting this condo again next year during our family vacation. The view is breathtaking and not a long walk to the water at all. Very convenient.
Felt just like home with all the amenities already at the property. The bedding was exceptional better than hotels. We especially liked being right on the beach all we had to do was step off the patio onto our own path to the beach. We would love to rent the condo again!!!!! Thanks Marilyn for letting us stay at your home.

We had an excellent time! Very clean townhome and great location. Kitchen was stocked very well. Lots of extras stocked that you normally would not get at other rentals. New flooring was very nice. The only negative would be the surroundings. The other townhomes and hotel nearby appeared run down. This townhome was nice from the outside in. The owner was extremely nice and helpful. Very easy booking as well.
This townhouse is right on the beach. Closer walk than any condo i have ever stayed in..... It has all the accommodations you will need. Chairs toys seating in the house. They have thought of EVERYTHING! We've been going to PCB for over 15 years and this is by far my favorite place to stay. PLUS Ms. Percy is very easy to work with and helpful! We will definitely be back!
The condo was beautiful. Couldn't ask for a more beautiful view. Stunning!!!!! Will definetly go back next year.
We are located right in the middle of the activity center of Panama City Beach. We are within walking distance to lots of bars, restaurants, mini golf and bowling.

Following is a summary of current entertainment news briefs.
Eclectic opening for Sundance with films about Mideast, Chile, U.S. Southwest
PARK CITY, Utah (Reuters) - The Sundance Film Festival opens Thursday with movies and documentaries from around the world, including a feature that examines the cultural divide between the Middle East and the United States. The 10-day Sundance Film Festival, founded by actor-director Robert Redford and now in its 35th year, will showcase 119 films from 32 countries.
Stewart, Pattinson crowned top earning romantic film couple
NEW YORK (Reuters) - With three box office hits earning $1.17 billion at the U.S. box office over the past three years, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are Hollywood's highest-grossing romantic film couple. The stars of the "Twilight" vampire films easily surpassed all other film twosomes in the Forbes list that looked at the top 10 grossing romantic films of the last three years.
Monaco royals slam "fictional" Grace Kelly film
NICE, France (Reuters) - Monaco's Prince Albert and his siblings slammed the screenplay for a film starring Nicole Kidman about their mother and former Hollywood actress Grace Kelly as glamorized fiction. The current monarch of the tiny Mediterranean state and his sisters Princess Caroline and Princess Stephanie said in a statement released by the royal palace of Monaco that the film project "Grace of Monaco" contained "historical untruths" and that some parts were "purely fictional".
Minaj, Carey fail to boost "American Idol" audience
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The audience for "American Idol" slumped 19 percent to 17.9 million viewers, its lowest season opener, despite the debut of judges Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban, according to early ratings data released on Thursday. The two-hour premiere of the show's 12th season on Fox television also lost 19 percent of the 18-49 age group most coveted by advertisers, Nielsen figures showed. Total viewers dropped to 17.9 million from 21.9 million in 2012.
Sex, politics and Steve Jobs highlight Sundance Film Festival
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Movie executives and first-time directors trudging through the snow this year at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah will find tales of pornography and sex addiction awaiting them, in a trend to show more skin at Robert Redford's annual film showcase. Showing in theaters alongside the Steve Jobs biopic "jOBS," festival goers can catch a movie about porn star Linda Lovelace, played by Amanda Seyfried in "Lovelace," and British soft porn publishing magnate Paul Raymond, played by Steve Coogan in Michael Winterbottom's "The Look of Love."

I have an windows XP machine, with a lot of apps that are installed to it, and there are a lot of data inside it.
The problem of this machine is that it is aging (> 3 years), and so I plan to get a new machine. But I want to move all my data and apps from the old machine to a new one, the one with a brand new hard disk, motherboard, CPU, power supply and a brand new Windows 7 professional edition.

Re: CLI: is it really advantageo
RobertEG wrote:
on the average, consumers tend to establish the same approx. level of % util as prior to the CLI, thus increasing their debt while evaluation of their credit in granting the CLI shows that the consumer risk does not increase much, if at all. Mo' debt, mo' interest..... mo' money!
And yet, on average, the income growth in the past thirty years has been zero for the bottom 90% of the population. A probable explanation could be that people expanded their wallets by resorting to stuff like moving the homemaker spouse to the workforce or putting less aside for retirement. When that's no longer enough, I suppose the consumer risk may go up. It has already happened to some extent as the financial crisis has increased credit card issuers' chasing of customers' balances.

The hard work of many fishermen has finally paid off with the
first significant return of salmon to Dunedin's Water of
A group of about 17 salmon was spotted in the waterway
yesterday and about 50 people watched as fishermen wrangled
them into a tank.
A great cheer went up when the first was netted, followed
quickly by a second and third.
Dunedin Community Salmon Trust chairman Brett Bensemann said
salmon smolt had been released further up the Leith and it
was the first time the fish had returned "in the numbers that
we've observed".
"It's absolutely fantastic. The salmon have been running
since September, but in the last couple of months it's been
phenomenal in the harbour - the best it's ever been - and now
this really is going to be salmon city, simple as that.
"It's great that the fish are acknowledging the environment
that we've released them in.
"With all the hard work that's gone into re-establishing the
Sawyers Bay hatchery, and all the work from both the
supporters club of the salmon trust, and the Otago salmon
anglers and fishing clubs, we have now established a source
of recreational benefit for families in the Dunedin and Otago
The salmon were taken to the Sawyers Bay hatchery where they
would be used for breeding.
Otago Fish and Game ranger Steve Dixon said the fish would be
kept for a month and have their eggs stripped before being
returned to the Leith in May.
He believed the fish were about two or three years old, but
said research could be carried out to determine where they
were bred and where they had been.
"It is possible some of them are the first release here, but
they could be naturally spawned salmon."

POMPANO BEACH -- Officials say firefighters went room-to-room to pull out 20 residents of a smoke-filled nursing home during an early morning blaze in Pompano Beach.
City spokeswoman Sandra King says three people were taken to hospitals after the rescue at the Grand Court Village nursing home. Two people suffered smoke inhalation and one fell and injured her head, but none of the injuries are believed to be serious.
King says the blaze started around 4 a.m. Sunday in an apartment's air conditioning unit. She says firefighters went into the building because they could not wait for the disoriented residents to get out themselves.
King says the firefighters did an excellent job with the rescue.
An investigation is ongoing.
Five killed in separate traffic crashes in Florida
ORLANDO -- Authorities say at least five people have been killed in separate incidents on central Florida roads this weekend.
Authorities say a homeless man was killed in a hit-and-run while trying to push a bicycle across U.S. Highway 441 in Apopka on Friday night.
Several hours later, authorities say a Geneva woman died in Seminole County near Oviedo after she failed to make a curve.
On Saturday, a West Palm Beach woman was driving on Interstate 95 when witnesses said she appeared to pass out at the wheel, cross the median and hit some trees.
Also Saturday, a man from Fort Smith, Ark., was hit by a truck after stepping into traffic along U.S. Highway 192 in Osceola County.
Saturday afternoon, one person died and two others were seriously injured in a two-car crash on County Road 42 in Marion County.
Charges against clergymen dropped
DELRAY BEACH -- Prosecutors dropped criminal charges against two clergymen accused of stealing from their church, but said they would take up the case again later.
State Attorney Barry Krischer dropped charges against the Revs. Francis Guinan and John Skehan so that both prosecution and defense teams could have more time to prepare their cases.
Guinan, 80, and Skehan, 65, were originally scheduled to face trial this month on the charge of grand theft over $100,000. If convicted, they both faced more than 30 years in prison.
The charges are expected to be refiled later this year.
"I've taken it upon myself to take control of the case," Krischer said. "It is just so the lawyers can get ready."
Authorities believe the pair spent money on gambling trips, rare coins and a girlfriend. They were arrested in 2006. Both have pleaded not guilty and are free on bail.
Messages left with attorneys involved in the case were not returned.

Hey, I'm Phyllis!
My work has been in community development projects, education, microfinance and the BBC . I have lived and worked in the USA, UK, Germany, Spain, Central America, Africa and Asia. My not-for-profit organisation is based in my home office, and we are exploring projects in energy efficiency in London, after working for many years in alternative finance which includes microfinance and innovative finance for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), to create financial inclusion. Our current work will seek to include alternative finance and development of micro and small enterprises. Our recent work has been with leadership and management programmes for alternative finance in the UK and internationally, in China with the Peer-to-Peer sector.
I am a member of the congregation at St Martin-in-the-Fields, a church well known for its music, work with the homeless and international issues.
As hobbies I enjoy the gym, transcendental meditation, technology (for work-play), travelling, cycling, swimming walking, (I've done the London to Canterbury Pilgrimage from St Martin's six times), cooking with friends, enjoying London, especially theatre, museums and South Bank events. I'm a member of several networking groups, mainly for entrepreneurs, technology, microfinance and women.
My associates (interns and full-time colleagues) and I work in the office in the flat, which is not featured in the photos or description. As we are in central London, we often have project meetings or hold workshops in the flat, often combining those with informal lunches or dinners. As soon as people enter the flat, their immediate reaction is 'what a great place'. We have a good life-work balance, often going to meetings elsewhere as well as having them here.
I am a social entrepreneur, using my resources for projects that make a social and economic difference. Income from Airbnb goes towards my other work, as I jokingly say, to support my habit. I speak five languages, unusual for an American. I've been in the UK since the early 70s and fondly call the UK home, although I am grateful for my American roots and being brought up in a multicultural family of ten children.
You will find this home lively, welcoming, fun, cosmopolitan, well-informed and focused on being an expression of my life's purpose: modelling a future worth living
My first 'job' after university was as a US Peace Corps Volunteer in the mid-60s in Guatemala, where I founded the first women's weaving group, which became a great success. That has inspired me to work with entrepreneurs at the grassroots and to live life with curiosity. My favourite quote is from Michaelangelo: 'I am always learning'.
I have had the good fortune to host amazing AirBnB guests with most interesting lives. I love the AirBnB spirit of helping people of similar interests to get to know one another. Also, I've been able to connect AirBnB guests with others, linking them through our joint similar interests in technology, entrepreneurship, social enterprise and living a life without borders.
My life motto is 'modelling a future worth living'.

A new public park for Washington, DC, is spurring collaboration between neighbors and planners to ensure benefits for all.

Relaxing Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) asset limits through broad-based categorical eligibility increases low-income households' savings (8 percent more likely to have at least $500) and participation in mainstream financial markets (5 percent more likely to have a bank account); it also reduces SNAP churn (26 percent).

Rising student debt is an important topic for academics and policymakers, but we know little about loans that finance a family member's education expenses.

In addition, we find that while blacks are substantially more likely to obtain debt for their own education, there are no systematic racial

Property-Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) loans have been considered senior to the claim on the first mortgage. FHFA and FHA have had reservations about insuring or guaranteeing mortgages on homes with a PACE loan, which has limited PACE product use. On July 19, 2016, FHA and VA clarified how and when it would finance a home with a PACE loan: the lien must be subordinated but could travel with the property. This note explains why
Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), states can expand Medicaid eligibility for nonelderly adults up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL). As of May 2016, 19 states had not expanded Medicaid. We estimate that another 4.8 million uninsured people would gain Medicaid eligibility if the remaining states were to expand Medicaid. If all of the 19 remaining states were to expand Medicaid in 2017, we project that the
This report summarizes the available evidence on the impact of selected early childhood education (ECE) programs. Understanding and quantifying the outcomes likely to result from a given intervention is an essential part of planning a pay for success (PFS) project.
Data play an integral role in pay for success (PFS) projects. Knowing the kinds of data needed for a successful project, how to collect them, and how they should be used may seem straightforward. But the complexity of early childhood outcome measures and data systems can create challenges.
Setting and pricing outcomes are important steps of every pay for success (PFS) project because they allow partners to quantify the benefits of successful programs. This report describe the types of early childhood education (ECE) outcomes that might be used to establish repayments and offers guidance on how the partners in a PFS project might select an outcome, a measure, and a definition of success that is appropriate for the
To understand the US Interagency Council on Homelessness's (USICH's) role in the nation's efforts to end homelessness and potential effects of the agency's planned termination in 2017, we interviewed more than 40 federal and local stakeholders across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors.

In a March 2016 letter, Senators Jeb Hensarling and Richard Shelby expressed concern that changes contemplated by the Federal Housing Finance Agency and US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to their nonperforming loan sales programs would reduce private sector participation. This letter quoted a January 2016 report by Laurie Goodman and Dan Magder that proposes that private sector participation in the bulk note
Eight years after Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were placed into conservatorship, the conversation about their future is stuck. As we inch closer to electing a new president and to the start of a new Congress, it is time for an open-minded look at the housing finance system and what role, if any, today's government-sponsored enterprises might play in the future. To help evaluate this critical issue, the Urban Institute's Housing
By 2003, the savings and asset-building field had achieved critical research and policy successes. However, there were few organizations of color in the field and few experts of color at decisionmaking tables. Over 11 years, the Ford Foundation developed a strategy to understand the knowledge and perspective of communities of color about saving and wealth building, and to include this perspective within the asset-building field

Under the Affordable Care Act, if one family member has an employer offer of single coverage deemed to be affordable—that is, costing less than 9.66 percent of family income in 2016—then all family members are ineligible for tax credits for Marketplace coverage, even if the cost of providing coverage to the whole family is greater than 9.66 percent of income.

I have heard is that in cases of emergency that Coptic Orthodox Christians can receive the sacraments from a Catholic priest and vice versa
Mor is always the best
my hands... are...soft
You always get Mor than you bargained for on the OCNet...
Although I could be mistaken, I've never heard that Copts are allowed to receive the sacraments from RC's in emergency situations. Armenians, Syrians, Indians, yes, but I don't recall hearing that Alexandria allowed this for their people.
The existing agreements are valid only between Jacobite chuch in India and the RC church, this is because of the Syrian Orthodox changes.

Design Parameters of a Dual Woofer Loudspeaker System
During the initial design stage of a new speaker system the possibility of using a dual woofer approach was investigated. While the theoretical advantages of two woofers over one of the same size are well known, there are also advantages over a woofer of the next larger standard size. It was determined that even greater gains could be achieved if the new woofers were specifically designed for dual operation. Other factors such as tweeter design and mounting and crossover technique are discussed.

Virginia Tech rugby players are proud to represent their school and the Hokie nation at the highest level of inter collegiate athletics. They are true student athletes in every sense of the word.

NEW DELHI: A family which lost a 21-year-old son to an accident has bravely put its grief behind and come forward to give the gift of life to others. At its own initiative, the family asked doctors to harvest the son's organs - a decision that will help at least 34 people.
The first beneficiaries included a 58-year-old man suffering from end-stage liver failure and at least two other critically ill patients who received organ transplants on Tuesday.
The donations were made possible by the Juneja family of east Delhi, whose only son, Anmol, suffered irreversible brain damage in a road accident on Friday. Anmol was a BCA student.
Anmol's heart valve, pancreas, cornea and at least 30 other organs have been preserved for transplant, said doctors at AIIMS Trauma Centre where the organ retrieval was conducted.

Old 97's On World Cafe
Old 97's On World Cafe
Formed in Dallas, Old 97's first got together more than 20 years ago. The band's latest album, Most Messed Up, hearkens back to the wild spirit of earlier albums like Too Far to Care; its sprawling opening track, "Longer Than You've Been Alive," recalls the group's history and has lead singer Rhett Miller fully embracing his rock 'n' roll lifestyle.
"I think a lot of the people that do what we do for a living, you worry all the time about, 'How am I doing? What's next?'" Miller tells World Cafe host David Dye. "But something clicked for me where I just stopped worrying about it, and I'm happy to be where I am. And part of that is liberating and makes it okay to step up and say, 'OK, I'm just going to sing about this crazy life.'"
Here, the members of Old 97's speak more about Most Messed Up and play a few songs from the album.
This session was originally published May 28, 2014.

Today I was given the opportunity to use an i-mate JAM PocketPC Phone Edition device to see how it compared to an Audiovox SMT5600.
Wow! All of the features of PocketPC in a form factor not that much larger than the Audiovox -- I'm nearly sold since I love the more fully featured PocketPC over the SmartPhone (Triple-Tap is handy, but tedious if you actually want to write more than two words). I can't stand carrying two devices and to date haven't been happy with the form factors of the Pocket PC Phone Edition (read: too large and bulky). That's all changed.
The pictures of the i-mate JAM don't really do it justice from the size perspective.
Audiovox SMT5600 = 108 mm x 46 mm x 18 mm and just over 100 grams
i-mate JAM = 108 mm x 58 mm x 18.1 mm and less than 200 grams
So, for all intents and purposes, the i-mate JAM is 12 mm wider than the Audiovox. It does weigh more than the Audiovox, but the Audiovox is super-duper light and the i-mate is not even double the weight of the Audiovox. I'll try it for another week, but I think I'm already hooked.
Did I mention it has a 1.3 megapixel phone on board? Finally a resolution that begins to make me interested in mobblogging. Suh-weet.
Did I mention it uses SD cards for storage? My Toshiba M200 Tablet PC has an SD slot onboard and now I'm downloading about 5 CDs worth of music - Casting Crowns, Dave Weckl Band, Parlaiment Funkadelic and James Taylor -- all in WMA Pro VBR goodness. Double Suh-weet.
This just might be the next ScoblePhone (I'm willing to wager it will be once he tries one :-). Step away from the iPod Shuffle, Robert. :-)
And Matt, forget yet another device in your stable -- get one of these and a large (1GB or bigger) SD card and you've got one device that does it all -- come by tomorrow and check it out.
Of course, there is a small amount of bad news: apparently it's only available only in Europe at the moment. Why aren't we seeing these cool form factors here first...?

Monsanto May Win Appeal of French Corn Ban, Court Says
Monsanto Co. and 10 other companies may win a challenge against a French ban on the use of a strain of genetically modified corn if the French government can't show it followed the correct procedures, the European Union's highest court said.
An EU nation must establish "the existence of a situation which is likely to constitute a clear and serious risk to human health," the EU Court of Justice in Luxembourg said in a ruling today. Another condition is that the country inform the European Commission and other EU countries of its measures.
The bloc's 27 nations are split over the safety of food produced from genetically modified crops. This is slowing the process of winning EU permission to grow them and has prompted complaints by the U.S. and other trade partners.
The case was triggered when St. Louis-based Monsanto in 2007 sought to renew an authorization it had previously received for its MON 810 corn, which produces a pesticide. The commission, the EU's executive agency, in 1998 authorized the use of the maize.
The safety of MON810 has been confirmed consistently during the past 15 years, Kelli Powers, a Monsanto spokeswoman, said today in an e-mail statement. "French farmers should no longer be denied the choice to use it."
Emergency Measures
France introduced emergency measures in 2007 that banned the use of Monsanto's product in the country. Two more orders followed in 2008 that outlawed the planting of the maize seed. The company, with the support of 10 others, challenged these measures. France's Conseil d'Etat, the country's highest administrative court, last year sought the EU tribunal's guidance on the legality of the measures.
The decision on the validity of the measure will be given by the Conseil d'Etat and until then "the French emergency measure stays valid and the prohibition to cultivate varieties of genetically modified MON 810 maize remains in place on French territory," the French environment ministry said in an e-mailed statement.
France's Environment Minister Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet said in a statement that the court's decision "doesn't question the concerns about environmental risks linked to the GM cultivation."
The case concerns a strain "which hasn't been checked according to new European requirements and for which uncertainties remain as to its potential effect on the environment," the ministry said.
Other countries with safeguard measures on MON 810 are Austria, Germany, Greece, Hungary and Luxembourg, said Frederic Vincent, a spokesman for the Brussels-based commission.
Further Action
The EU regulator will "carefully examine" the ruling and its implications for member nations with such measures in place, said Vincent. The commission will then decide whether further action is needed, he said.
Separately, the EU's top court on Sept. 6 ruled that honey made close to Monsanto's GM crops must get EU regulators' approval before being sold in the region.
That ruling could "very likely" affect the import of honey into the EU, Vincent said yesterday.
The cases are: C-58/10, Monsanto SAS, Monsanto Agriculture France SAS, Monsanto International SARL, Monsanto Technology LLC v Ministre de l'Agriculture et de la Peche; C-59/10, C-60/10, C-61/10, C-62/10, C-63/10, C-64/10, C-65/10, C-66/10, C-67/10, C-68/10.

But Catelyn is no longer the woman she was in the books, and so all of her tragedy lacks sting. The writers scrambled to make amends for past mistakes in order to make the scene more powerful, by actually giving her lines, by acknowledging that she gives good advice and that Robb does rely on her, but it was too little, too late. Imagine how much more powerful Catelyn's plea to "let it end" would be, if we had seen, over an extended period of time, how Catelyn understands the cost of war, how all she wants is for the war to end so that the people she loves can be safe. Imagine how shocking it would be to have her threaten to cut Walder Frey's wife's throat, if Catelyn had been shown to be someone who is not all about revenge, who is honorable and kind and would never do something like that unless she was desperate. Imagine what a strong moment it would be when she then cut that innocent girl's throat, as a woman who's lost everything, a woman driven to be someone that she's not because everything has been stolen from her.

I accidentally committed an unwanted file (
filename.orig while resolving a merge) to my repository several commits ago, without me noticing it until now. I want to completely delete the file from the repository history. Is it possible to rewrite the change history such that
filename.orig was never added to the repository in the first place?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I accidentally committed an unwanted file (
Please don't use this recipe if your situation is not the one described in the question. This recipe is for fixing a bad merge, and replaying your good commits onto a fixed merge.

will go through each change from
Note for Windows users: The file path must use forward slashes
Intro: You Have 5 Solutions Available
The original poster states:
There are many different ways to remove the history of a file completely from git:
In the case of the original poster, amending the commit isn't really an option by itself, since he made several additional commits afterwards, but for the sake of completeness, I will also explain how to do it, for anyone else who justs wants to amend their previous commit.
Note that all of these solutions involve altering/re-writing history/commits in one way another, so anyone with old copies of the commits will have to do extra work to re-sync their history with the new history.
Solution 1: Amending Commits
If you accidentally made a change (such as adding a file) in your previous commit, and you don't want the history of that change to exist anymore, then you can simply amend the previous commit to remove the file from it:
Solution 2: Hard Reset (Possibly Plus a Rebase)
Like solution #1, if you just want to get rid of your previous commit, then you also have the option of simply doing a hard reset to its parent:
That command will hard-reset your branch to the previous 1st parent commit.
However, if, like the original poster, you've made several commits after the commit you want to undo the change to, you can still use hard resets to modify it, but doing so also involves using a rebase. Here are the steps that you can use to amend a commit further back in history:
Solution 3: Non-interactive Rebase
This will work if you just want to remove a commit from history entirely:
Solution 4: Interactive Rebases
This solution will allow you to accomplish the same things as solutions #2 and #3, i.e. modify or remove commits further back in history than your immediately previous commit, so which solution you choose to use is sort of up to you. Interactive rebases are not well-suited to rebasing hundreds of commits, for performance reasons, so I would use non-interactive rebases or the filter branch solution (see below) in those sort of situations.
To begin the interactive rebase, use the following:
This will cause git to rewind the commit history back to the parent of the commit that you want to modify or remove. It will then present you a list of the rewound commits in reverse order in whatever editor git is set to use (this is Vim by default):
The commit that you want to modify or remove will be at the top of this list. To remove it, simply delete its line in the list. Otherwise, replace "pick" with "edit" on the 1st line, like so:
Next, enter
At this point, you can remove the file and amend the commit, then continue the rebase:
That's it. As a final step, whether you modified the commit or removed it completely, it's always a good idea to verify that no other unexpected changes were made to your branch by diffing it with its state before the rebase:
Solution 5: Filtering Branches
Finally, this solution is best if you want to completely wipe out all traces of a file's existence from history, and none of the other solutions are quite up to the task.
That will remove

Just be sure to backup the copies of the files first.

That still didn't work for me? (I am currently at git version 220.127.116.11)
Not sure why, since I only had ONE master branch. Anyways, I finally got my git repo truely cleaned up by pushing into a new empty and bare git repository, e.g.
Then I clone that to a new directory and moved over it's .git folder into this one. e.g.

After verifying that all is well, then you can delete the
Rewriting Git history demands changing all the affected commit ids, and so everyone who's working on the project will need to delete their old copies of the repo, and do a fresh clone after you've cleaned the history. The more people it inconveniences, the more you need a good reason to do it - your superfluous file isn't really causing a problem, but if only you are working on the project, you might as well clean up the Git history if you want to!
To make it as easy as possible, I'd recommend using the BFG Repo-Cleaner, a simpler, faster alternative to
You should carefully follow the steps here: http://rtyley.github.com/bfg-repo-cleaner/#usage - but the core bit is just this: download the BFG jar (requires Java 6 or above) and run this command:

In this article
From the moment you launch any of the applications in the 2007 Microsoft Office system, you will notice a dramatic difference. The entire user interface has been redesigned to be more intuitive, easier to navigate, and better suited to the task at hand. When the developers of the 2007 Office release began brainstorming about the new user interface, they decided to go back to the drawing board and create an interface based on the way people use their computers today. The result is a simplified, smart system that brings you just the tools you need, when you need them. No more clicking through menus, submenus, and nested dialog boxes. Now the commands you need come to you, depending on the type of object you select and the application you are using. This article introduces the new elements in the Microsoft Office Fluent user interface so that you'll recognize the features as you begin to use the applications.
Using the Ribbon
The 2007 Office Ribbon is the dramatic new replacement for the customary menu system in previous versions of Microsoft Office. The Ribbon stretches across the top of the work area in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access. It also appears in selected windows in Outlook, giving you tabs, contextual commands, and more that are related to the current operation you are performing (see Figure 1).
The Ribbon is actually a collection of several components:
The Quick Access Toolbar (appears in the top left of the window and contains the Microsoft Office Button, which opens what was the File menu), and the Save, Undo, and Redo icons. (You can customize the Quick Access Toolbar to add tools you use frequently.)
Command tabs such as Home, Insert, Page Layout, References, Mailings, Review, and View in Microsoft Office Word 2007 stretch across the screen just below the window title bar.
Command sets are the commands available for the selected tab that relate to what you're trying to do. The name of the command set appears below the commands. For example, the command set might be Clipboard, Font, and Paragraph as shown in Figure 1.
Contextual commands appear only when an object (a table, chart, etc.) is selected.
Figure 1 When you click a command tab, the command sets that relate to that tab are displayed in the Ribbon.
Command Tabs
The command tabs relate directly to the stages of the process you're likely to follow as you create a project in an application. For example, in Microsoft Office Excel 2007, the command tabs are Home, Insert, Page Layout, Formulas, Data, Review, and View. When you're creating a worksheet, you first need commands related to data entry (Home), editing (Insert), and formatting (Page Layout). Later on in the process, you will want to work with the information on the worksheet by analyzing (Formulas), sorting, filtering, consolidating, and validating it (Data). If you're working as part of a team, you'll want to be able to review the worksheet and share it with others (Review). Along the way, you'll need to be able to modify the ways in which the worksheet is displayed (View).
Command Sets
Different commands appear in the Ribbon depending on the tab you've selected. If you click the Home tab in Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007, one set of commands appears in the Ribbon; if you click the Review tab, a different set is displayed. This approach cuts down on the number of menus, commands, and dialog boxes you have to sort through in order to find the items you want. Each command set is grouped according to its function. In Figure 2, the Page Setup, Themes, Background, and Arrange command sets appear when the Design tab is selected in PowerPoint 2007.
Figure 2 The set of commands displayed in the Ribbon varies depending on the command tab you select.
Contextual Tools
Contextual tools are different from command sets in that they appear only when you select a specific object in your document. For example, when you create a table in Word 2007, the Table Tools contextual tools appear above the Ribbon. The tool set includes two tabs specific to the selected table: Design and Layout (see Figure 3). The Design tab includes a variety of command sets that enable you to format a table the way you want it to appear. The Layout tab in the Table Tools contextual commands enables you to choose the way you want data to be positioned and organized in the cells.
Figure 3 Contextual tools provide you with additional options related to the selected object.
Dialog Box Launchers
Some command sets on the Ribbon are also available in traditional style dialog boxes. The presence of a small arrow in the lower right corner of a command set indicates that you can click that "launcher" to display a dialog box containing those commands. For example, if you click the Dialog Box Launcher in the Font command set on the Home tab in Excel 2007, the Format Cells dialog box appears with the Font tab selected, as shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4 Dialog Box Launchers display some command sets in traditional dialog boxes.
Tip: You also will find a Dialog Box Launcher available at the bottom of any gallery that shows advanced options. For example, in Word 2007, when you choose the Page Layout command tab and click the Columns arrow in the Page Setup command set, a gallery of column settings appears. Click the More Columns option at the bottom of the gallery to launch the Columns dialog box (see Figure 5).
Figure 5 Click the More Columns option at the bottom of a gallery to display a dialog box of additional options.
Galleries are one of the great additions to the design of the new user interface since they make finding the look you want as simple as point-and-click. The 2007 Office release includes two types of galleries.
Galleries with only a few selections are typically shown as part of a command set in the Ribbon.
Galleries with multiple selections (such as the Styles, Themes, and Margins in Word 2007) appear as drop-down galleries so that you can make your selection from the displayed group.
When you select a command that has an arrow next to it (which means additional choices are available), the gallery appears (see Figure 6). You can see at a glance which color combination, format, color scheme, transition, or chart type you want. Just click your choice (or point to it, if you want to use the Live Preview feature) and the setting is applied to the current document or selected object.
Figure 6 Galleries enable you to easily find and select the choice that's right for your project.
Tip: The new Live Preview feature in the 2007 Office release enables you to see how a style will look before you select it. Simply point to a selection you're considering, and the application will show the effect of the item in the work area. When you find the one you like, click to apply it to your document.
New File Menu
The File menu has had a major makeover. Instead of the word "File," the Microsoft Office Button now marks the spot where the File menu resides. The changes in the File menu aren't only cosmetic — functional changes help you focus on the file-related tasks you need. The new File menu includes two panels. On the left, you see the major file tasks; on the right, the choices related to those tasks appear when you point to one of the commands on the left. For example, when you position the mouse over Prepare, the options shown in Figure 7 appear.
Figure 7 The new File menu includes a new design, new organization, and additional commands to expand the way you work with files.
Quick Access Toolbar
To the right of the Microsoft Office Button at the top of the Ribbon you see three familiar tools: Save, Undo, and Redo. These tools are part of the Quick Access Toolbar, which travels with you from application to application. These tools are available in the same spot in all the 2007 Office release core applications that have the new user interface. You can customize the Quick Access Toolbar to add other tools you use regularly. For example, you might want to add the Hyperlink tool to the Quick Access Toolbar so it is available in all your applications.
Tip: If you put a number of tools on the Quick Access Toolbar, you may want to display it in its own row along the Ribbon. Right-click anywhere on the Ribbon and choose Place Quick Access Toolbar below the Ribbon. To return the display of the toolbar to its original state, right-click the Ribbon a second time and choose Place Quick Access Toolbar above the Ribbon.
New View Controls
The 2007 Office release moves the View tab to organize the controls you need for viewing your documents. Everything you formerly found in the Window or View menus, you'll now find by clicking the View tab (see Figure 8). The familiar View tools appear in the lower right corner of the document window, to the left of a handy Zoom tool that enables you to enlarge or reduce the display of your document incrementally while you work.
Figure 8 Switch between windows and change the view by using the commands in the View tab.

"Purple Rain" in the rain? Too real.
The movement lives. After the Blackest takeover of a Super Bowl halftime show in history, Beyoncé is facing backlash for her bold coming out as "woke." Her performance of her new trap feminist track, "Formation," which included many references to African-American history and Black politics and culture, is upsetting conservatives who are crying that her performance was not "wholesome" and was an attack on "police officers." Yet many saw themselves represented in a whitewashed media during the show. BET.com looks at why Beyoncé's performance was peak Blackness and a significant celebration of Black History Month.
Bey is "in talks" to take the stage again.
She points out that something was missing from the show.
She dropped the mic.
Coldplay plays at the Super Bowl, Bruno Mars saves the day and Beyoncé steals the show!
The pop singer will give a two-peat performance for the biggest night in football.
White outrage is at an all-time high.
