The guest presented a speech entitled ,"Realities of the Islamic Republic of Iran's Foreign Policy." Director Marcin Zaborowski introduced the Ambassador and moderated the meeting. In his opening remarks Mr. Zaborowski stressed the importance of Iran in the ,,Greater" Middle East, the issue of its nuclear programme, as well as this year's 70th anniversary of the event of hosting by Iranians of over 120 thousand Polish refugees from the Soviet Union. Ambassador Mehmanparast in his speech stressed that there are many misunderstandings regarding the foreign policy of Iran and its internal situation. He elaborated on these, seeing them as the reasons of differences among Iran and Western countries. He mentioned differences in the understanding of such issues, as human rights, the shape of international law and institutional order, proliferation control and nuclear programmes, the sources of international extremism and terrorism, and the goals of all military interventions in the Middle East (including in Iraq and Afghanistan). During the Q&A session, Ambassador Mehmanparast further ellaborated on some of these issues.

Just joined HRF yesterday and Im looking for a mentor to help me out. I have a couple questions I can start out with here.
How do I start training a very general and open ended horse report. This seems overwhelming given how many tracks and types there are. My horse prefers dirt, turf and sand!
If I start with 0 pts but a free horse, how do I enter a race without having to buy community pts?
I would really appreciate some input on these general questions while I attempt to find a mentor who can be the sole victim of all my other inquisitions! Thanks
Getting a mentor is a great first step, the other thing that helped me a ton is go to http://www.fantasyhorseracingnews.com/cliff-notes-to-the-trainer-game/ and read it. It is a great overview of what you need.
As far as community points you can become a vip or do a lot of free point offers like I did. It is time consuming but there are some worth a lot of points like netflix or blockbuster. The surveys are good too.
Make sure you bet or ride everyday to get you 1000 points. That will get you 30,000 points a month. It cost 14,5000 points for a blue tournament and 3000 points for a green tournament not to mention at the end of 30 days you have 10,000 points in stable fee's per horse. Get yourself a good mentor that can explain everything in depth. Its a great game and lots of fun. Good Luck.

Yarn bomber branches out for Valentines
11:00am Tuesday 12th February 2013 in News
AS VALENTINE'S Day approaches love may be in the air, but in Chipping Norton yarn is everywhere else.
The town's mysterious yarn bomber helps celebrate a wide range of national days by decorating the area with appropriate knitted patterns.
She has struck again as February 14 comes around, this time decorating trees with woollen hearts.
Chipping Norton resident Suzie Brown, 43, was given a knitted heart when she came across the yarn bomber decorating a tree in the town centre.
She said: "We have been living here for five years and we had not seen her so it was nice to finally see her in action.
"My three year old son Joe and I have often walked around the town and seen her works of art hanging here, there and everywhere and it brings a smile to our faces."
Yarn bombing is an American craze which is also known as urban knitting.
It is a form of street art which involves decorating a public space with patterns made from knitted or crocheted yarn.

Master storyteller Will Hornyak will present a storytelling class and workshop Saturday. In "Storytelling from the Inside Out: Cultivating an Authentic Voice as a Storyteller," Hornyak "will guide students to consider the three languages of storytelling (voice, gesture, facial expression) as well as practical tips for developing stories for performances or professional presentations. Participants are encouraged to bring a short traditional story or personal narrative. The workshop is engaging, fun, highly experiential and provides a useful toolbox of ideas, activities and exercises for ongoing storytelling development."
The class takes place from noon to 3 p.m. at Anchorage Community Theatre, 1133 E. 70th and costs $20 -- which is probably a bargain just to watch Honryak do his stuff.
For more information, call 344-4713... and if you're going to participate, dress comfortably.

Newstalk ZB
By: Barry Soper | Latest Political News | Wednesday October 3 2012 12:11
The Prime Minister will be correcting statements he's made to Parliament about the involvement of the GCSB in the Kim Dotcom case. John Key now accepts that the spy agency may have mentioned the Dotcom case when he met with them in February which is contrary to what he's been telling Parliament. Mr Key says there were no minutes kept of the February meeting but he now accepts Dotcom may have been mentioned although neither he or the GCSB boss can remember it. Mr Key has maintained he first heard of the spy agency's involvement with Dotcom when he was told about the illegal spying on September 17. An apology to Parliament from the Prime Minister is forthcoming, after he admitted he may have known about the spying on Kim Dotcom earlier than he'd initially said. He said he didn't know about it until September the 17th, but file notes released today show it was due to be brought up at a meeting between the GCSB spy agency and the Prime Minister in February. Mr Key says according to briefing notes, there was a slide at it that talked about Kim Dotcom. "In those notes that he was intending to use, he had that statement about that short reference. I can only assume that he made that reference in the meeting, I have no recollection of that." Photo: Getty Images |

Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park
Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park Review
This is one of Spain's great but often overlooked wonders, a smaller Pyrenean version of North America's Grand Canyon. The entrance lies under the vertical walls of Monte Mondarruego, source of the Ara River and its tributary, the Arazas, which forms the famous Ordesa Valley. The park was founded by royal decree in 1918 to protect the natural integrity of the central Pyrenees, and it has expanded from 4,940 to 56,810 acres as provincial and national authorities have added the Monte Perdido massif, the head of the Pineta Valley, and the Escuain and Añisclo canyons. Defined by the Ara and Arazas rivers, the Ordesa Valley is endowed with pine, fir, larch, beech, and poplar forests; lakes, waterfalls, and high mountain meadows; and protected wildlife, including trout, boar, chamois, and the sarrio or isard (Rupicapra pyrenaica) mountain goat.
Well-marked and well-maintained mountain trails lead to waterfalls, caves, and spectacular observation points. The standard tour, a full day's hike (eight hours), runs from the parking area in the Pradera de Ordesa, 8 km (5 miles) northeast of Torla, up the Arazas River, past the gradas de Soaso (Soaso risers—a natural stairway of waterfalls) to the cola de caballo (horse's tail), a lovely fan of falling water at the head of the Cirque de Cotatuero, a sort of natural amphitheater. There is one refugio, Refugio Gorez, north of the cola de caballo. A return walk on the south side of the valley, past the Cabaña de los Cazadores (hunters' hut), offers a breathtaking view followed by a two-hour descent back to the parking area. A few spots, although not technically difficult, may seem precarious. Information and guidebooks are available at the booth on your way into the park at Pradera de Ordesa. The best time to come is May to mid-November but check conditions with regional tourist offices before driving into a blizzard in May or missing out on el veranillo de San Martín ("Indian summer") in fall.

HP boss Whitman: 'We have to offer a smartphone'
But let's not be too hasty
Posted in Mobile, 14th September 2012 21:20 GMT
Free whitepaper – Hands on with Hyper-V 3.0 and virtual machine movement
Hewlett Packard may have crashed and burned when it last tried to crack the mobile device market, but it isn't ready to give up yet. According to CEO Meg Whitman, a new smartphone from HP is not a matter of "if", but "when".
Describing HP's bungled acquisition of Palm as "a detour into smartphones," Whitman told [1] Fox Business that the PC maker definitely still has mobile ambitions, but that it's essential to "get it right this time."
"My view is we have to ultimately offer a smartphone, because in many countries of the world, that is your first computing device," Whitman said. "There will be countries in the world where people will never own a tablet or a PC or a desktop. They will do everything on a smartphone."
That will mean large portions of the world's population will have little use for HP products, unless something changes. Unlike such rivals as Apple, Samsung, and Sony, HP has never successfully penetrated the consumer phone biz.
In 2010, HP tried to buy its way into smartphone customers' pockets by snapping up [2] Palm for $1.2bn, but sales of Palm's webOS-powered Pre and Pixi handsets foundered under HP's leadership.
After 16 months of disappointing results, then-CEO Léo Apotheker essentially chose to storm out of the market in a huff. He announced that he was pulling the plug [3] on HP's entire webOS product line just one day after the UK launch of its last smartphone, the Pre 3 [4], leaving retailers little choice but to sell off their remaining inventory of webOS gear at fire-sale [5] prices.
Many assumed that move spelled the end of HP's phone forays once and for all, but somehow HP's webOS division has managed to carry on – despite layoffs [6] – even when no one seemed sure just what it was trying to achieve.
Lately there have been rumblings [7] that HP is planning a return to the tablet market, which seems like a less risky proposition than having another go at phones. But according to Whitman, phone plans are definitely underway, too, although HP isn't planning any sudden moves.
"We're working to make sure that when we do this it will be the right thing for Hewlett-Packard and we will be successful," she said, adding that her mantra for HP's phone team is that it's better to get things right than to enter the market faster than HP should be there.
Whitman did not say whether webOS would be in the picture for any future HP smartphones, but it could be. In August, HP spun off its former webOS division into a new subsidiary [8] called Gram. HP has yet to publicly announce what Gram might be building, but HP's job site [9] is full of webOS-related listings (for a change).
But whatever form a future HP smartphone might take, Whitman said we will definitely see one, eventually.
"We're a computing company," she said. "We have to take advantage of that form factor." ®

David Brooks, Senior Hack of the Capitalist ClassIsn't the difference between big banks and private equity firms merely the difference between Frank and Jesse James? Read the article to see Pierce's latest takedown of Brooks. Ideology makes people think that the perspective of the investor class is their own. Brooks, of course, is just a paid shill, but the pablum he writes resonates with a lot of working people who echo concerns about the "competitiveness of American business" and the need for corporations to be "nimble" and "flexible." They talk positively about "creative destruction." These qualities constitute an objective condition that is much worse for working people. Ideology makes people believe things that are against their own interests.
The working class and the employing class have nothing in common. There can be no peace so long as hunger and want are found among millions of the working people and the few, who make up the employing class, have all the good things of life. Between these two classes a struggle must go on until the workers of the world organize as a class, take possession of the means of production, abolish the wage system, and live in harmony with the Earth. -- IWW In a democracy it is necessary that people should learn to endure having their sentiments outraged. -- Bertrand Russell Let us strangle the last king with the entrails of the last priest. -- Denis Diderot It's not that no one sees the straight line to Doomtown we've been on since Reagan, it's that there's big profits in it.

U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) will visit Madison and Logan Thursday, August 23, as part of his "Building a Stronger America Together" tour.
For two consecutive weeks, Manchin will travel around West Virginia to discuss some of the most pressing issues of our day and how leaders must work across party lines to solve them.
"Whether it's reducing the debt of this nation or creating good-paying jobs, the problems that we face can't be solved by one political party alone," said Manchin. "When I was Governor, West Virginians of all political parties put aside their differences for the good of our state; our country can and must do the same. Nothing could be more important than rebuilding this country, and I look forward to having this conversation with the people of West Virginia."
The Senator plans to meet with seniors and young professionals to discuss how to sustain programs like Social Security and Medicare and host public forums and speak at events to dedicate job-creating infrastructure projects. Manchin will also highlight the contributions of veterans who have served the country and his project to increase veterans' employment.
Manchin will continue to encourage all West Virginians to attend the first-ever bipartisan federal fiscal summit on Sept. 10. Two of the nation's leading fiscal experts will be joining Senator Manchin to discuss our country's finances and our future. Republican Senator Alan Simpson and Mr. Erskine Bowles, the former White House Chief of Staff for President Bill Clinton, led the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform and have presented a bipartisan blueprint for a path forward. The free forum is open to the public and will be held from 9 a.m. to noon on Sept. 10 at the Culture Center theater in Charleston.
Manchin will visit the Boone County Courthouse and speaks with area residents at 12:30 p.m. and will be in Logan at 2:30 p.m. at the Logan County Commission office, 325 Stratton Street, where he will speak with area residents about infrastructure.

Thank you so much Ysaurella for this surprise sample!
Once upon a time, there was a Fairy who had given up on Apple tea… She thought she could never find an apple tea that could meet her requirements and expectations.
What she had always longed for, was a tea that could reproduce the juicy and delicious taste of apples, without the company of the harmful Wicked Army of Additives! The WAA had terrorized the world of tea for centuries and was the main cause of discord between tea and flavour.
What she wanted seemed so simple: an apple tea that would simply taste like… APPLES!
Just as the Fairy had finally resigned on the idea, Princess Ysaurella from the heights of her French Kingdom, decided it would be otherwise. The injustice had to stop!
Apple tea should take its place in the wonderful world of Fairies and no longer be a forbidden tea!
From the other side of the ocean, she did everything possible to arrange safe transportation for Pomme d'Amour, and it quickly reached destination to the Fairy.
When the Fairy examined the offering, she remained skeptical: how could a spell that was there for so long could be lifted so easily? How could the WAA be defeated so easily?
As she had nothing to lose, she focused her attention on the infused elixir's aroma…Oh, the scent of fresh apples! Was it possible? She cautiously moved to the next step and tasted.
Awww … divine potion that finally valued the Apple as the Queen of fruit she really was, allowing her to shine in her beautiful black China-Ceylon robe, without any unnecessary garments such as cinnamon, cake or pie flavours! Just the right amount of sweet and juicy apple taste!
It goes to say that without Princess Ysaurella reconciliation could not have taken place! The WAA was put to rest, and all the Fairies lived happily ever after, sipping their Apple tea.
The End. Thank you Princess :-)

ReplyDeleteIt is indeed a wonderful image, worth extemporising on. It seems to have been taken rather early or late in the day, considering the length of the shadows. The lad with a stick is clearly up to no good - he has guilty written all over his face. They've probably been having a game of football after school, with the girls relegated to the small verandah of the one-room school. A guess, of course, but you did ask ...
ReplyDeleteCould it be autumn? The leaves on the left hand side of the tree seem to have partly gone. And the boy with the "egg", could it be a fruit of some kind, a watermelon? Next to the chimney there seems to be a giant barrel. But no matter what, the picture is very nice!
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed a wonderful old photograph and for Sepia Saturday to spread it around amongst lovers of old photographs - the honour is all ours.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo! I can't figure it out though ... all boys? Is that a school, all boarded up? What is that boy in front holding?
Thanks for sharing it with us. I am your newest follower, and welcome to Sepia Saturday.

The vendors set up shop in an old stable. So charming, right? I love that the gentleman below on the right is just reading by lamplight as he waits for customers.
And here is the vendor we were looking for-- The Domini Dairy. All of the whole milk was spoken for (I am glad to hear that there is a high demand for it!) but there was plenty of double cream for me. I bought three pints.
I also picked up some local apple juice. This variety tasted a lot like pears, and had a really pleasant tartness. I already put it into carboy, with my own wild cider culture (the one I used to make a wild blackberry cider with in the fall.)
And this, my friends, may prove to be the most wonderful vendor of all. I met a gentleman who was selling all kinds of Spanish cured meats-- jamon, morcilla, chorizo, and more. I chatted with him for a while, tasted everything, bought plenty, and learned that although he is a ferrier by trade, he has a real passion for Spanish meats. The ones he sells at the market are imported from Spain, but he actually makes his own. He raises his own rare-breed pigs, butchers them and cures his own meats.
You know, in the last couple of years, I have gotten a lot more gutsy. I never used to be comfortable asking anyone for anything. But I have been learning that "when you don't ask, the answer is always no," and trying to be more bold about asking for what I want. So, friends, I asked him. I asked if my family and I could go to his barn where he works; if I could watch, learn, participate, take pictures, and share it with you. And he said yes! I am beyond excited. This could happen quite soon, too!
With all of our shopping done, we put our wonderful wares in our car and walked around the property.
There was this:
Can you believe it? Lots of peafowl traipsing across the property, matching the houses. I loved all of the buildings! I'm still trying to figure out how I can move my family into one of these...
Back at the main entrance, we did a little shopping.
I love that they carry all of the natural and old-fashioned functional household items. I bought some natural scrubbing brushes.
And there was a cozy book corner and a bar with local (very local!) brews to keep Jeff and Amelia happy.
For me, no country outing is really complete until there is some animal interaction.
That's right-- llamas! And Red Poll cattle, sheep, and horses.
Something I really, really love about the country here is that it's pretty normal for people to be able to hang out with animals. You can walk into their enclosures and share public lands with them. We were going to check out the woodland walk to the vineyard, but it was all just deep mud. Next time! We were more happy to just be part of the pastoral scene, really.
So, now you know where to find raw milk in Suffolk. Also, total country bliss. I know that many people have to jump through a lot of hoops to get raw milk. This is what I have to put up with! And guess what? It's going to be lambing season soon! I. Can't. Wait.
Is there anything you love to eat that you have to make an effort to get your hands on?

Radiator efficiency, is measured in British Thermal Units (BTU). The dimensions of a room are used to calculate the BTU output required to heat that room. Radiators all have a known and calculated BTU output. Using the BTU outputs in the Product Specification or description above, it is easy to calculate the size of radiator you need to help provide the total heat output necessary for your room.
The best way is to ask your plumber to perform the calculation for you. If you don't have access to a plumber, you can use the BTU Calculator below as a guide. Please note that the calculated figure relates to the combined heat output of all radiators in the room, therefore the towel rail or radiator that you purchase need not satisfy the entire BTU output if it is used to complement existing radiators.

Stamping my feet...
Some times, usually when I am very tired and feeling overwhelmed (like today), I have those moments where I want to stamp my feet and make a fuss. Of course I would not. Adulthood makes it unacceptable. But today I feel that it would help. The events that brought this on are as follows: I work in customer service for a large corp. This week is customer service appreciation week and they are providing treats and snacks each day. Truly I try to be thankful and appreciate what management are giving us. I know they think they are doing a wonderful thing, and the thought is there I know. But .. they are killing us.
We sit at a desk all day looking at a computer screen. We get two 15 minute breaks and a half hour for lunch (so needless to say we are not active here at all) and for lunch they provide Chinese food from a take away, corn dogs, smoked then fried turkey legs, cookies, cheese, chicken parmesan and cake and ice cream.
Now most people are over the moon at all this food. The plates are being piled high and smiles all round. I am so sad for all these people who see this abuse of their body as a good thing. I just do not understand it.
Even before going raw I new the perils of this sort of food. The headaches, the tiredness, the questionable ingredients. But now I am just frustrated and dismayed.
I forgot my lunch so I think this is not helping. I took two bottles of their water (the soda provided out weights the water by far) to make me feel a little better.
I know my initial thoughts were very childish but what I am feeling deep down is sorry, sorry that we think we are TREATING ourselves buy putting this rubbish in our bodies.
These days we need all the help we can get. We need to take care of our temples. We need our strength to get through the rough times coming. We need to be clean and free of toxins. We need to be less of a burden on healthcare and our families. We need to be a vibrant part of the community.
Instead I am looked at as an oddity. Ungrateful, picky and strange.
Thank you for letting me vent. It does help. I am now off to enjoy my water and some sun dried Mulberries I found in my drawer. I shall walk proudly with my berries in hand and offer them to the masses. Wish me luck

Helen Gundlach's comments:
on The Art of Hard Times
I beg to differ with Mary Nolan's views about using funds from the Oregon Cultural Trust. It's like stealing from your child's piggy bank. You want to instill a life-long habit of saving, but then you take the money when you're in crisis. Sorry, that's an easy out!
I've worked as a fundraising consultant for many years for non-profit arts organizations, and it is an inviolable fact that one should NEVER violate a donor's trust. It is poor stewardship to take this money. The arts and people who devote their livelihood to the arts are already "subsidizing" the community by working for little money, for contributing to our quality of life. If you've ever watched Oregon Art Beat, this fact would be crystal clear. Why are the Arts responsible for filling this hole? Revamp the tax structure, so that there's a more equitable sharing of this load. Find another source, cut back on services. Sorry, the arts are already taking a major hit in the marketplace. Donations are down, attendance is down. I work for a Theatre. I know what I'm talking about.

Executive Committee
Lester C. Brock III Kelly B. Martin John A. Merrick Antoinette N. Morgan Kimberly A. Skiba Jeremy S. Williams
The Young Lawyers Section of the Richmond Bar provides an opportunity for networking and professional development for young and newly admitted attorneys. The section is open to members who are under 38 years of age or who have been a member of the Virginia State Bar for four years or less regardless of their age.
Young Lawyers Participate in Call 12
Antoinette Morgan, John Merrick and Jeremiah Yourth from the Young Lawyers Section responded to questions called in to "Call 12" during the evening news program on NBC12. View video
Young Lawyers Athletics
Each year the Young Lawyers Section sponsors a Dodgeball team which competes in the River City Sports and Social Club league. It's a great opportunity meet and socialize with other attorneys and professionals in Richmond. Games start the week of January 8th and are played once a week between 6:30 and 9:00 p.m. on either Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, with games genereally being after 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Space is limited,so participatns are asked to commit to making the majority of the games. If space is available, non-RBA YLS members may also participate but will be responsible for paying the standard amount charged by RCSSC (~$55). It is anticipated that there will be no charge for RBA YLS members. If you are interested, please email Jeremy Williams at email@example.com with your email address and shirt size on or before midnight, December 4, 2012.
Lunch Buddy Program
The Richmond Bar Association Young Lawyers Section is kicking off a great opportunity for lawyers to get involved in the community and participate in a rewarding experience with minimal time commitment. It's called the Lunch Buddy Program at Fairfield Elementary School in Richmond (8-10 minutes from downtown). The program matches volunteers with children during their lunch period for about 30 minutes of mentoring/just getting to know the child each month. The program allows low-income children to foster relationships with folks they otherwise would not meet and hopefully get them on the path to success! These children have very few role models in their life and are in need of our mentorship and companionship. The program requires a minimum commitment of 30 minutes a month, but volunteers are encouraged to meet with their lunch buddy as often as schedules allow.
In order to participate, there is a short application to complete and a background check. Completing the application should take no more than 5 to 10 minutes. If you are interested in volunteering and giving back in this very important, stress-free way, please contact Kelly Martin at email@example.com or 358-6741. When responding, please indicate whether you have a gender and grade preference for your lunch buddy.
The program begins in October. Please express your interest by October 5th.

Matthew Hatton
A HATTON will hit the boos in South Africa when one of Britains most popular fighters walks into the lions den tonight.
Matthew The Magic Man Hatton, the younger brother of Ricky, challenges local hero Chris van Heerden for the IBO welterweight crown in Johannesburg.
And the likeable 31-year-old Mancunian knows that he will be the most disliked man around when he climbs into the ring.
He has been in Johannesburg for two weeks acclimatising for a fight in which he is aware that he will be a target for the boo-boys.
But he knows the jeers he gets from the crowd will not compare to the kind of hate he faced when losing bravely on points to Mexican star Saul Alvarez two years ago.
Hatton said: In all honesty, its down to a persons character.
Im quite a stubborn character, so its never really bothered me.
I remember when I fought Alvarez in California and there must have been 15,000 Mexicans there, all baying for my blood.
I wont repeat what they were saying to me! But that kind of thing just pumps me up and allows me to get the best out of myself.
I can handle whatever insults they throw at me.
I am ready for this contest, so what the crowd do wont affect me in any way.
Hatton was outpointed by Kell Brook last March and must win tonight to keep alive his big-fight ambitions.
Van Heerden, 25, has won 18 contests, suffered one controversial defeat and drew another battle which he later avenged.
Hatton added: Hes certainly a good fighter, but I dont think he is half as good as he thinks he is.
He seems to think hes a legend in his own head. Its a big ask for me, fighting somewhere that is a long way from Manchester, but I can rise to the challenge.
If I win, there are a lot of big fighters that I am capable of winning against.
Theres obviously Vyacheslav Senchenko, who beat Ricky. That wasnt nice for me to see.
Id like to get revenge over him.
VAN HEERDEN v Hatton will form one half of a double header on BoxNation (Sky 437/ Virgin 546) from 7pm tonight. The second part of the action comes from America later in the night and features Richard Abril and Sharif Bogere challenging for the vacant WBA lightweight title.

text: Technical Abstract: Winter hardiness is a complex trait, and poor winter hardiness limits commercial production of winter oat. Crown freeze tolerance is the most important factor conferring winter hardiness, and controlled crown freeze tests correlate well with field winter hardiness. The objective of this study was to identify quantitative trait loci for crown freeze tolerance in the Kanota × Ogle recombinant inbred line (RIL) mapping population and to examine their relationship with other winter hardiness component traits. One hundred thirty five RILs were evaluated for crown freeze tolerance in a controlled environment. Previously published molecular marker and linkage map information was used for crown freeze tolerance QTL detection. Seven QTL and four complimentary epistatic interactions were identified that accounted for 56% of the phenotypic variation. Ogle contributed alleles for increased crown freeze tolerance at three loci, while Kanota contributed alleles for increased crown freeze tolerance at four loci. All loci where Kanota alleles increased crown freeze tolerance showed complementary epistasis for decreased crown freeze tolerance with the QTL near UMN13. Two of the major QTL identified were in the linkage groups associated with a reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 7C and 17 which previously was associated with spring growth habit in oat. The results confirm the importance of the chromosomes involved in the reciprocal 7C-17 translocation in winter hardiness component traits.

Emirates upgrade to Boeing 777-200
Emirates Airline has upgraded its aircraft from operating on the Malta-Cyprus-Dubai route to a larger Boeing 777-200 offering a total of 274 seats in a 3-class configuration with 12 First, 42 Business and 220 Economy Class.
The Boeing 777-200 is replacing the Airbus 340-300 aircraft which was deployed on October 1, 2012. Emirates started its operations to Malta in 1998, connecting the Maltese islands to new and key destinations across the world and currently operate a daily schedule from Dubai to Malta via Larnaca, Cyprus, with an option of stopping in Cyprus.
Emirates Manager for Malta Paul Fleri Soler said this is the second aircraft upgrade within four months and confirms Emirates commitment to the Maltese islands. The Boeing 777-200 aircraft will provide customers with the award-winning ice inflight entertainment on every seat, world-class service and gourmet cuisine, making the journey with Emirates as enjoyable as the destination while the additional capacity will generate many more trade and tourism opportunities.
First and Business Class clients can enjoy Emirates' service before they take to the sky with chauffeur-driven transfers from Malta and Gozo, as well as on arrival at most of Emirates destinations. Other special privileges include dedicated check-in areas, a generous 40kg baggage allowance, and exclusive access to the Emirates Lounges at major airports, including Emirates Terminal 3 in Dubai.
Emirates SkyCargo will be increasing its belly-hold capacity to 17 tonnes on the Boeing 777-200 and is on hand in assisting importers and exporters.

The Benefits of Whole Grain Brown Rice Protein
With the huge number of protein powders and energy supplements available in the market today, it has become harder than ever to tell the good ones from the chemical-laden, artificially flavored, synthetic saw dust. Ingredients are KEY! There is nothigng else more important than the food you put into your body. This is especially true when it comes to concentrated supplements.
When you take crap and concentrate it, you get concentrated crap (stay with me...). The more concentrated it is, the more abundant those "small amounts" become. Various ingredients are EXTRA taxing on the body and organs. This is the same reason that its essential to only drink organic juice, otherwise you're taking a straight shot of chemicals.
There is a plethora of ingredients that can undermine your health and actually counter your results. Will you increase your strength by taking random protein powders? Probably yes, artificially and in the short term. The damage being done to the rest of your body cannot even be measured.
Things such as preservatives, artificial or even NATURAL flavors, colorants, and sweeteners are all toxic. Did you know that natural flavors can be put on a label and really be MSG or some other harmful substance? Don't be fooled by natural or healthy on the front of the label. It's true what they say, if you can't pronounce it or it looks like science then it probably is!
Not all hope is lost. Pure supplements and functional foods are on the rise and we are happy to say that our organic whole grain brown rice protein powder, Epic Protein, or our hemp and sprouted based, Sproutein, are leaders in the market.
Our whole grain brown rice protein is one-of-a-kind. It is actually a bio-fermented and sprouted brown rice protein powder. These might sound like fancy marketing terms but in fact these are the reasons that make Epic Protein the best ever made.
When compared to conventional protein powders and other supplements, the advantages of whole grain brown rice protein are not only countless, but they are obvious. Let's go through some of them:
- Whole grain brown rice protein comes from rice that is grown with extreme care and free from the fertilizers and pesticides.
- Whole grain brown rice is like regular rice, EXCEPT the bran covering has not been removed, thus preserving the fiber and nutrients that it contains.
- When rice is peeled, processed and cooked, several of its major nutrients are lost, like iron, magnesium, vitamins and natural fibers.
- Whole grain brown rice protein is also lacking all the LDL cholesterol, hormones and other harmful components that other protein powders and supplements contain.
- Another great benefit of whole grain brown rice protein is that it is extremely low in fat and carbohydrates, while at the same time containing high amounts of insoluble fiber, which is proven to be greatly beneficial for people's health and is highly recommended by doctors all over to be included in people's diets.
- The high fiber content and pure nature of the whole grain brown rice protein makes it great for fighting and prevent cholesterol, diabetes and overweight.
- Whole grain brown rice protein is also among the best when it comes to nutrient and mineral absorption, as well as being rich in minerals itself, with optimal content of several of them
- Being entirely based on rice, whole grain brown rice protein contains all of the benefits that vegetable-only products can provide, and is completely free from animal protein that tends to be saturated with fat and cholesterol.
- It's a complete protein, all essential and non-essential amino acids are naturally provided. It also has a nice ratio of BCAAs, ideal for athletes.
Sprout Living has put a lot of resources into sourcing the ingredients used in Epic Protein. Our organic brown rice is the best on the market and our flavored versions like Chocolate Maca and Vanilla Lucuma are loaded with other superfoods such as mesquite, yacon, lucuma, maca, vanilla and cacao.
Epic Protein is PURE - nothing other than whats listed on the ingredients.
It is RAW, VEGAN, ORGANIC, GLUTEN-FREE, and KOSHER.

Can felons get jobs that require licenses?
I am an LPN and have first offender charges of prescription fraud (doctor shopping) on my record. Due to injuries sustained in an auto accident and medications needed and prescribed by my neurologist, I can no longer practice as a nurse. I have undergone extensive counseling and am still paying fines. I wanted to contest the charges due to my medical records supporting my prescriptions. I instead was advised to take these charges to avoid another more severe charge. My question is, can my charges on my record affect my application and testing to be a licensed cosmetologist? I want to be a productive citizen of society and support my son and myself. I want to try something else and I think I can and will enjoy this field but want to know these things before I invest the money in training.I would suggest that you contact the Cosmetology Licensing Board in your state. They will be able to tell you if you are eligible.

Release Date: 2003 | Tracklist
Album Rating: 3.5Sorry if this review is a little longer than usual, but I'd like to think the last album of Quorthon's career deserves a review at least. It was surprising to me to find out that no-one has even reviewed the album yet...Digging: Testament - The Gathering
Digging: Testament - The Gathering
Album Rating: 3.5Really? I've seen plenty of reviews on here use it in a similar way...
Album Rating: 3.0Yeah this is good. I like the first Nordland better, though. RIP Quorthon.Digging: Dark Tranquillity - Construct
Digging: Dark Tranquillity - Construct
Album Rating: 3.0http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dsp0Q4mWAo from the first nordland, but the most epic riff ever @ 1:15
Album Rating: 3.5I actually like them both the same to be honest. They both have very distinctive qualities, yet they don't quite match up to any of Bathory's earlier albums in my opinion. Nonetheless, 'Nordland II' is a fitting end. RIV (Rest in Valhalla) Quorthon.
Album Rating: 3.0Would have been interesting to hear Nordland III and IV if he was actually alive to write it.
Album Rating: 3.5True that. Perhaps he had already produced the music for Parts III and IV, but death took away his chance of distributing it.
never heard this one, but the title track on the first one is epic as hell
Album Rating: 3.5Agreed, the title track certainly sets a good standard for the rest of the album.

Fairways residents to begin paying special assessment for road work
Lisa Allmendinger | AnnArbor.com
Some of the infrastructure in the development at the corner of Freer Road and Old US-12 was left in disarray when the original developer walked away from the project and residents asked the city to help them improve the streets so they could be made public and turned over to the city for services such as snow plowing.
In order for the city to take over control of the roads, the subdivision needed storm sewers and upgrades to its roads, sidewalks and curbs. Because of the unique situation, the city agreed to pick up the tab for half the total costs, while the residents are responsible for the rest.
The total cost of the project is less than expected, and the city is paying about $188,260, leaving that same amount for residents to pay through a special assessment district. The first payment will be included in the July 1 summer tax bill.
Lisa Allmendinger | AnnArbor.com
She told City Council that residents in the subdivision have three options. They can pay off the total amount due with their July 1 tax bill, or pay the smaller installment amount with interest during the 10-year period, or if they decide to pay off the amount owed off sooner than the 10 years, the city will calculate what's owed at the time and they'd save additional interest.
Currently there are about 70 homes and about 34 vacant lots in the subdivision, and each homeowner will receive a letter with instructions about the options and the individual assessment. In addition, the City Council recently unanimously agreed to a budget amendment that involved a temporary "intrafund loan" of $200,000 from the general fund to the street fund.
"Because the overall cost of the project was under $400,000, the city was able to fund the project using existing cash fund balances," according to an agenda item summary. However, the street fund does not have the cash balance available to fund the entire project.
The money will be paid back to the general fund in equal installments over a 16-month period beginning in July 2012 with interest, Garland said.
The street fund will pay the general fund 3.5 percent interest, "which is the rate of the city's two most recent bond issues and the rate that will be charged to the Fairways Special Assessment properties."
City Council was assured that this was an acceptable accounting practice, and had been used in the past. Council Member Cheri Albertson asked if a transfer such as this would become a "finding" in the city's annual audit and she was told that all the proper paperwork would be filed and that it was allowable.

Thalassemia Program
Our innovative approach
As part of a thalassemia research network designated by the National Institutes of Health, the Dana-Farber/Children's Hospital Cancer Center (DF/CHCC) Thalassemia Program provides your child with access to experts in the field and the most advanced clinical trials available.
Researchers from DF/CHCC have been at the forefront of thalassemia research and treatment for decades. A number of important advances in the field were made here:
- In the 1960s, David Nathan, MD, Senior Associate in Hematology,identified the usefulness of hypertransfusion therapy in the treatment of thalassemia.
- In the 1970s, Richard Proper, MD, and David Nathan, MD, demonstrated effective iron chelation (removal of excess iron from the blood) using the intravenous drug deferoxamine (Desferal).
- In the 1970s, Nathan and Stuart Orkin, MD, current chairman of Pediatric Oncology at DF/CHCC, developed the first genetic test for prenatal diagnosis of thalassemia.
- In the 1970s, Nathan, Orkin, Yuet Wai Kan, MD, MBBS, and others identified the molecular biology of thalassemia syndromes.
- We participated in trials of a new oral iron chelator, deferisirox (Exjade), which was ultimately approved for the treatment of iron overload in thalassemia patients.
Iron chelation
Our Thalassemia Program is home to world-leading experts in iron chelation therapy, which is used to treat iron overload caused by repeated transfusions. Untreated iron overload can result in severe damage to the internal organs, including the liver, pancreas, heart and endocrine glands. Proper iron chelation therapy is one of the most important aspects of thalassemia care.
We offer the most effective available chelation treatments including intravenous deferoxamine (Desferal) and oral deferesirox (Exjade). For patients with hard-to-treat thalassemia, we provide access to Deferiprone, an experimental iron chelator currently under study.
Thalassemia Program leader Ellis Neufeld, MD, PhD, is leading clinical trials of a novel iron chelator which holds promise for individuals not responding well to other chelation therapy. He is also the principal investigator for the NIH-sponsored Thalassemia Longitudinal Cohort, a long-term study of patients treated for thalassemia.
Our experienced staff of researchers is working to design new chelators and investigate the effectiveness of new chelation therapies and combination chelation therapy.
Gene therapy
Currently, researchers in our Thalassemia Program are working on gene therapies, in the hopes of developing new treatments for thalassemia.
Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that helps them carry oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body. In thalassemia, the body's ability to produce hemoglobin is compromised because of defects in either the alpha globin or beta globin genes, which contribute the protein portion of hemoglobin. This results in anemia that can range from mild to life-threatening.
Stuart Orkin, MD, and Vijay Sankaran, an MD-PhD student in Orkin's lab, identified a way to compensate for this problem: getting red blood cells to make another type of hemoglobin that normally stops being made after birth.
At birth, fetal hemoglobin (HbF) comprises 50 to 95 percent of a child's hemoglobin. As the child grows during the first year of life, there's a gradual switch to adult beta hemoglobin production. Until now, there's been no good direct way to reactivate HbF production.
Orkin, Sankaran and collaborators identified a gene which directly suppresses HbF production. They are conducting further studies to figure out how to target the gene therapeutically. If a strategy is found, it could potentially transform beta thalassemia into a benign or nearly benign condition.

The New Burgundy and Gold
Redskins park these days are filled with new faces and old. Most of all filled with great potential, not to mention Redskins franchise quarterback RG3 and returning Captain of the team London Fletcher. As skins fans around the nation anxiously wait and anticipate for the 2013 NFL to kickoff, fans are excited to see its beloved burgundy and gold. The DMV area is filled with Redskins flags, and stickers just zipping around and around the 495 beltway. Excited and intrigued I myself can barely wait to see what we have done. With playmakers Moss, Cooley, Davis, and Hightower you just have to think about the other missing peices the skins have picked up with Garcon, and Morgan, great deep threat options for RG3. As people judge thinking the skins had stopped there. They thought wrong, defensively the Redskins are looking to be considered at least in the top 10 of not top 5 defeses in the league. Meriweather a new member if the team will be more than just another safety, moreover a consistant every down defensive back player, something Landry did not do, and with Atogwe just a bust. The Washington Redskins has a strong cast to direct its own feel good story...skins nation just hope for a long awaited Superbowl.
Both Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol will have completed their contracts. Could this be the final two years they're in Los Angeles? Over the summer, Bryant has noted that he expects to play just two or three more seasons. Does he decide to retire or will the Lakers be faced with a difficult decision?
''We're finding out our strengths and how to combine them,'' Gasol said. ''We have two main guys out, and they make a big difference, so we'll have to see how we play when we're full force.''
Bryant said he tweaked his shoulder while dunking on Antawn Jamison in practice Tuesday, but it didn't start hurting until later that day. He wanted to play against Portland, but the team overruled him with six preseason games still left on its schedule.ert3434
Playing with the Spurs, which included one start this fall, Curry averaged decent numbers: 8.4 points and 3.6 rebounds per contest. As a starter, against the Atlanta Hawks, Curry finished with 11 points and eight boards in 25 minutes of action.

The Ben Greet Players OF LONDON AND NEW YORK Figure TENTH ANNUAL TOUR OF AMERICA PRESENTING IN PURE FASHION Shakespeare's Plays OLD ENGLISH COMEDIES And Plays Worth While of Yesterday and Today Plays given in the OPEN AIR MR. BEN GREET is the pioneer and the only authority in presenting Open Air Performances, having given them in England for over twenty-five years, and nine years in America. MR. BEN GREET is considered today one of the greatest living authorities on the English Drama, and is world famous for his remarkable productions and as a teacher of the Dramatic arts. The Ben Greet Players have just concluded a most successful season in New York, Philadelphia and Chicago with the finest production of A Midsummer Night's Dream ever seen in America. Address all communications to George Vivian, care of Sanger & Jordan, Empire Theatre Building, New York City. EVERYMAN. New York Evening Post. Public intelligence has been vindicated also by the goodly audiences which have attended the performances of the Ben Greet players in the Garden Theatre. Mr. Greet has been doing important missionary work for the stage for some years, and it is high time that he should reap a substantial reward for his artistic labors. He not only maintains a practical school of acting of a high order, which often gives astomshingly good results—astonishing, that is, to persons who do not know what capable instruction and direction can effect but teaches the public to realize the great truth that the merits of a play, or its performance are entirely independent of mere decoration. This is the real educational theatre, in which the constant aim is to familiarize its audiences—especially the budding playgoers of the rising generation—with acknowledged masterpieces of literature and drama, and thus enable them to discriminate between solid worth and beauty and the merely luxurious, sensational, and meretricious. Figure New York Sun. Ben Greet gave last night the first performance of a ten weeks season of classic plays. It was quite the most promising event that the Garden Theatre has seen this winter. Mr. Greet played the rollicking Tony with such infectiousness and with such understanding of the spoiled good natured bumpkin that his performance alone would have made the evening notable. New York Telegraph. This play is quite the best thing Ben Greet has done in New York this season and his entire company seemed to feel the significance of the lines and get in tune with the action of the play. New York Telegraph. Last night's pouring rain didn't hold the Shakespearean enthusiasts indoors. Not to any great degree. The true interpretation is that Shakespeare is too good to be missed, be it rain or shine. Macbeth was splendidly given. The finely drilled, grandly rehearsed playing machine which Mr. Greet has trained to perfect unity was in excellent order last night, and the great drama was rendered with a spirit and smooth consonance well worth going through even a pouring rain to see and hear. All of the historic scenes in the old drama were finely interpreted. Principals and subordinates, from the fierce Macbeth to the ghastly witches, showed faultless quality and ample training. The scenic effects were good, while the costumes were perhaps the most accurate seen in a Shakespearean production for many days. SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER. New York Commercial. Christopher Marlowe's sixteenth century play, Doctor Faustus, had last night in the Garden Theatre its first performance in this country. The Ben Greet Players acted the drama which in form and contents suggests a morality play of the type of Everyman, with sincerity and evident care. A large audience watched the play with interest, and whenever opportunity was offered applauded the players. New York Post. No theatre in the city offers a programme of more solid and dignified quality than that which Mr. Greet has provided for his patrons. Mr. Greet's intelligence and ability as a manager and trainer are strikingly illustrated. A good delivery is a distinguishing characteristic of most of Mr. Greet's performers. New York Herald. Mr. Ben Greet will give tomorrow night in the Garden Theatre the 1000th performance of Everyman in this country. Figure OPEN AIR PLAY AT BAY VIEW. New York Sun. There was much in last night's performance of Doctor Faustus to interest students of the Elizabethan drama. New York Telegraph. Doctor Faustus, a melodrama by Christopher Marlowe, an English author, had its New York premiere last evening. The production last evening was in Mr. Greet's most lavish style, and compares favorably with his magnificient spectacle of Everyman. There was a jolly chorus of Seven Deadly Sins, representing such familiar Broadway types as Gluttony, Pride, Covetousness and Lechery. New York Sports of the Times. Ben Greet knows his profession thoroughly and needs only this encouragement to gradually assemble such a strong and complete stock company that it can act any kind of standard drama and put to the blush the impudent pretensions of the Freak theatre, in which we have seen, this season, the best plays butchered by incompetents and the worst plays brazenly produced. Figure New York Evening News. Instead of Shakespeare spelling ruin, as was said once, the bard's works now mean prosperity of the first order. No better illustration of this can be had than in the remarkable demand for seats for the limited season of Shakespearean dramas and classic comedies announced for the Garden Theatre, New York, by that splendid acting organization, the Ben Greet Players. She Stoops to Conquer is the most successful of all the list of classic comedies, while that its power to draw audiences is still remarkable is shown by the fact that when offered by Mr. Greet at Daly's Theatre a season or two ago it literally turned money away for the entire course of its run. Washington Post. Aside from the intrinsic value of the powerful drama, Mr. Greet's experiment is extremely valuable as an educational factor along two distinct lines. It gives us a glimpse of the stage methods of the great dramatist's time, when the destiny of the English people was taking its first tangible shape—an epoch of transcendental genius which brought forth no richer fruits than the dramatic creations and philosophy of Shakespeare—and it also shows what effect can be produced by a good play, interpreted by capable and well-trained players, even with the barest possible stage environment. Of the players too much cannot be said in praise of their scholarly and impressive attainments as delineators of the Shakespearean drama. All suggestions of the star system are eliminated, and each performer strives to play his part with the sole purpose of depicting the character as it should be, without reference to the others, whether the part be one of greater or lesser importance in the general scheme of the drama. MASKS AND FACES. Hutchins Hapgood in Chicago Evening Post. The best production of The Merchant of Venice that I have ever seen was given last night by the Ben Greet Company at the Studebaker—and I have seen the Booth, Henry Irving, Richard Mansfield, and Jacob Adler companies in the play. There is not a single genius in the cast, but the play is a unity. It is given practically as the author intended, and so has the ear-marks of a work of art and of beauty as a whole. New York Telegraph. There were more laughs at the Garden last night than one has heard in thirteen of the latest Broadway productions. Ben Greet responds to a humorous part very readily, and his portrayal of Acres was obviously a delight to the audience. The house was alive with appreciation. Figure THE BEN GREET PLAYERS AT WHITE HOUSE. OCTOBER 16–17, 1908 REPERTOIRE. SHAKESPEARE'S PLAYS: As You Like It, The Merchant of Venice, Twelfth Night, A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Tempest, The Merry Wives of Windsor, Much Ado About Nothing, Two Gentlemen of Verona, Comedy of Errors, Hamlet, Macbeth, Julius Caesar, Romeo and Juliet, Othello, King Henry V, Taming the Shrew, A Winter's Tale, etc. The above plays given with scenery and costumes for each play, in the Elizabethan manner, with stage settings and costumes of the period; or with the accompaniment of a Symphony Orchestra, with musical settings by Mendelssohn, Tschaikowsky, Gounod, Nicoli, Beethoven, Sir Arthur Sullivan, etc. OLD COMEDIES: Goldsmith's She Stoops to Conquer, Sheridan's The Rivals, Lytton's Money, Tobin's Honeymoon, Sheridan Knowles' The Love Chase, Sheridan's School for Scandal, Reade's Masks and Faces, etc. OTHER PLAYS: King Rene's Daughter, Gilbert's Palace of Truth, Creatures of Impulse, Tennyson's Falcon, Diplomacy, Caste, Importance of Being Ernest, Dr. Faustus, The Great Morality Play Everyman, The Star of Bethlehem, Katrina Trask's Little Town of Bethlehem, etc., etc., etc. Like Dr. Eliott with his five feet of books, Mr. Greet has over five feet of Plays Worth While. For over twenty years Ben Greet has been famous in England for these performances, which his splendid company has acted each year at Oxford, Cambridge, London's Royal Botanical Gardens, and at the most beautiful ancestral homes of Shakespeare's England. Five years ago the company gave its first American pastoral at Columbia University before an audience of over three thousand persons. This was followed by four performances at Harvard University; also at Yale, Princeton, Toronto, McGill; to be repeated almost annually. In 1907-8 the Ben Greet Players were so much in demand that the English tour had to be undertaken by another company. Note—The company can give, upon sufficient notice, any play in reason, required for educational purposes. Thus several other of the plays of Shakespeare, a comedy by Ben Johnson, one by Moliere, also a Greek play, (given in English) might well be added to the list, should any demand by large institutions be shown for them. Mr. Greet is always glad to cooperate with any College, Association, Club, Society, or charitable organization on sharing terms. Figure A PARTIAL LIST OF THE PLACES WHERE THE PLAYS HAVE BEEN GIVEN BY THIS COMPANY: Oxford Woreester College {Twenty consecutive years Cambridge Downing College Jesus College St. Johns College {Twenty conseentive years Royal Botanical Gardens London, five seasons, under the patronage and presence of T.

Designing The Next Generation Of Retail Spaces – Part 3 of 4
The Basic Areas of the Retail Environment
In this article, we will take a look at the main in-store areas where effective place qualities and design principles can be applied.
We have discussed in earlier articles that, in addition to the in-store experience, the out-of-store and online experiences are essential parts of the buying process. Even though we won't discuss the other two in great detail, we have mentioned them in various contexts.
Depending on their specific vertical, retailers can offer a variety of different in-store areas, but the following are common across all verticals:
- Entrance
- Main circulation
- Pace

For some, putting an Asset Protection Plan in place is advisable in order to attempt to remove the economic incentive to be sued and also to try and increase the ability to force an early settlement in the event a suit is filed.
In order to assess whether a client needs to develop a comprehensive Asset Protection Plan, we must first determine the client's sources of liability. Some potential sources include:
We work with each client and their financial advisors to evaluate their need for asset protection and then develop an Asset Protection Plan that works to legally secure their assets and minimizes taxes and transfer penalties.
