In a medium-size, heavy soup pot, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. When it foams, add onion and saffron, and cook, stirring, until onion is transparent and saffron is ?melted,? about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, add rice, salt, and pepper, and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until well coated, about 1 minute. Add wine, and simmer gently until the liquid is absorbed, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup chicken stock, stir, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is absorbed. Repeat, adding 1/2 cup stock at a time, until the rice is cooked through but still firm, 20 to 25 minutes total. Add the remaining tablespoon butter and the Parmesan. Mix well, add salt to taste, and serve immediately, sprinkled with parsley, if desired.
Place peppercorns, dill, parsley, bay leaves, leeks, carrots, celery, chicken, wings, and backs into a large stockpot. Add stock and 6 cups cold water. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a very gentle simmer, and cook for 45 minutes. Liquid should just bubble up to the surface. A skin will form on the surface of the liquid; skim this off with a slotted spoon, and discard. Repeat as needed. After 45 minutes, remove chicken from the pot, and set aside until it is cool enough to handle. Remove the meat from the bones, set the meat aside, and return the bones to the pot. Shred the chicken, and set aside in the refrigerator until ready to use. Continue to simmer the stock, on the lowest heat possible, for 3 hours, skimming as needed. The chicken bones will begin to disintegrate. Strain the stock through a fine sieve into a very large bowl. Discard the solids. Place the bowl in an ice bath, and let cool to room temperature. Transfer to airtight containers. Stock may be refrigerated for 3 days or frozen for 4 months. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight. If storing, leave fat layer intact to the seal the stock. Before using, remove the layer of fat that has collected on the surface.

Relief organizations in the United States are gathering food and medical supplies to send to the thousands of people left homeless from recent flooding in the Dominican Republic and Haiti.
Organizers in New York City say they need canned food, rice, clothing and medicine for survivors of the floods that have killed at least 500 people. They are calling on New Yorkers - especially the city's large Dominican community - to contribute to the effort. Moises Perez of the Alianza Dominicana community group says he is coordinating relief efforts with other Caribbean aid organizations.
"It's just absolutely devastating what's going on," he said. "The number of children is very painful to watch. We will be coordinating other types of assistance in the following weeks."
The Dominican Republic's president-elect, Leonel Fernandez, is also in New York City to appeal for assistance. The World Food Program has sent $200,000 in food aid to the Dominican Republic and Haiti.
United Nations teams and peacekeeping troops stationed in Haiti have been ferrying food and supplies to help with the relief effort.
The floods and landslides came after storms dumped heavy rains on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, which the two nations share. Hundreds of people are still missing after swollen rivers and mudslides devastated homes.
Weather forecasters expect continuing rainfall on the island through the weekend.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 584951
3.3, 3.12: Enhanced reporting similar to reports currently generated by JIRA
Last modified: 2013-06-23 22:07:38 EDT
JIRA Requirements: 3.3, 3.12
Bugzilla equivalents are needed similar to the calendar and charting plugins available in JIRA. These allows to take any search result and view various statistics on it and planning schedules.
JIRA has reports such as Roadmap which shows bugs per target release and the percentage of completion. The calendar plugin uses the time estimates field in JIRA to create a calendar display
of when issues or products are due to be completed.
There are some third party tools internal to Red Hat which takes Bugzilla data and matches up to product schedules to show progress and workload but may not be flexible enough or
useful for those outside of Red Hat.
Proposed Solution(s):
Update Bugzilla's built in reporting tools to generate views similar to JIRA showing roadmaps, calendars, etc. Can be integrated with the product browser.
Please loop llim and myself in (ie, QE) if any movement towards an integrated charting / reporting / calendaring tool is made. Platform QE (among other teams) have vested interests in functionality of this sort as well.
Also, could WAIDH be of any use?
(In reply to comment #2)
> Also, could WAIDH be of any use?
> http://git.engineering.redhat.com/?p=users/mbacovsk/waidh.git;a=summary
> https://waidh.lab.bos.redhat.com/
Could be. I had forgotten about the tool and it could be useful for the JIRA folks until proper dashboard functionality exists in Bugzilla.
Does the graphing part of this issue relate to the changes in bug 584949. If not, what other information is required?
Once I know that bug 584949 is working correctly, I can work on the calendar feature.
-- simon
Note: The original requirement was marked as "Medium", therefore, by defination, it is not required for the Migration to proceed. However, this is a good feature request and can be implemented post migration. See 3.3 and 3.12: https://engineering.redhat.com/trac/bugzilla/wiki/JiraMigrationRequirements
Looks like Max Andersen helped define this requirement. Also, it may be the case that Harvester will satisfy this feature request...or some combination of Harvester and bz reports/queries. https://harvester-stage.englab.nay.redhat.com/
The intent was that you could take a query result and use as input to a graphing tool since the graphs just operate on a set of issues anyway.
Harvester looks nice but seem to be limited/focused on very specific queries.
waidh.lab - I loaded the page, but didn't grok how that relates to this ?
Anyway, with bugzilla reports bound to be simply product issues linking back to org stuff there won't be much data to query for anyway and won't be giving much sensible info anyway and this issue in itself not a blocker as Mike points out.
As part of the recent Bugzilla 2.4 upgrade the Bugzilla team are cleaning up bugs opened against old versions of Bugzilla. This bug has been flagged as an old bug and will be CLOSED WONTFIX in 7 days time.
If you believe this bug is an issue in the latest Bugzilla version please comment on this bug within 7 days. Doing so will ensure this bug is not closed automatically.
Thanks, the Bugzilla team.

I Like to Watch (Instantly): Aeon Flux: The Complete Animated Collection
Notable titles from the Netflix Watch Instantly world
Aeon Flux: The Complete Animated Collection (1995)
Directed by Howard E. Baker, Peter Chung
Cast: Denise Poirier, Matt K. Miller, John Rafter Lee
Totally non-verbal, these mini-non-episodes delight in carefully setting up audience expectation, then sadistically subverting it by killing off the heroine (a trope in these early shorts) or suddenly depicting the army of pursuing bad guys as abused victims crying out for help. And what about the transgressive depiction of tongues and orifices and oozing alien eggs? Oh yes. The biological gross-out, as with David Cronenberg's yuckier films, is high art here.
You can watch all the episodes on YouTube, but the Netflix WI versions are higher quality (as good as a fresh VHS copy from 1992 anyway) and commercial-free. You can watch all the good ones in slightly over 30 minutes. If you want to taste just one, try "Tide" (my personal favorite).

(EDIT - Posts moved out of NFL thread to keep this drivel all in one spot.)
So a small group of NFL owners are in Goodell's ear to keep Brady's suspension at 4 games. Ha ha, what a bunch of twats. If you can't beat 'em, suspend him. Pats will still be the AFC East favorite, you fuckholes.
I think the outcome of the appeal will still be a 1 or 2 game suspension and then Brady, with the NFLPA, will take the NFL to court. There will be an injunction so Brady's still playing week 1 and eventually, much like the Saints players, the suspension will be wiped away. Goodell should just wipe it away now, but he won't.
But now, the situation arises where if Goodell keeps it at 4 games it will create such an uproar that Greg Hardy and his domestic violence case is worth the same suspension as possibly knowing about maybe deflating footballs, none of which can be proven. A rule they care so much about that there have been ZERO adjustments to the rulebook heading into this season about the officials monitoring air pressure.
This is month 7 of this fiasco ... how the drymount does Roger Goodell make $30 - 45M a year???

Reporting from San Pedro Garza Garcia, Mexico
Oakland-bred Raka Rich brought the flow of California hip-hop, in Spanish.
Puerto Rico's Davila 666 ignited a wild mosh-pit with its Latin-tinged punk.
And all kinds of new Mexican acts — as varied as Juan Cirerol of Mexicali and cumbia-rockers Sonido San Francisco — showed that Mexico's independent music scene just might be at its most dynamic in years. Over 12 hours on Saturday, some 4,500 fans gathered to hear more than 50 international acts at a sonically diverse annual music festival called NRMAL.
The name belies the fact that nothing here can be taken for granted. Not only was it the biggest NRMAL fest held in the past three years, but the fact that it took place in this industrial city of more than 4 million without any serious trouble makes it even more of a triumph.
Metropolitan Monterrey is currently a battleground in Mexico's ongoing drug war, where a string of deadly tragedies such as the last August's Casino Royale massacre, in which 52 people died after drug traffickers torched a casino, have traumatized a once-proud hub of industry and innovation.

there are some truths buried so deep inside ourselves that they can only be reached by detonating all of the rock we so meticulously accumulate in hopes of protecting ourselves – when we realize what we thought was a shelter is actually a prison.
i don't believe anyone has to accept that kind of sentence. but i'll be the first to admit that the child inside me is content to put bright red-colored curtains over that tiny square barred window & call it my home. truly repressing and totally dismissing memories is an art easily learned as a child. i believe that is where it began and i finally found the proof i had been looking for.
so yes, there are reasons we are who we are that we have absolutely no control over. and that is very scary because the way to deal with them is elusive. we can observe them, we can fight them, we can forget them, we can hide them or we can accept them. we can place them in the forefront and put a sparkly top coat over them for everyone to see. but there is nothing we can do to make it any easier.
i don't want to be that bitter, angry person that could never find the courage to face the demons left by those that trod on our hearts. i don't want to keep burning the bridges that propel me forward. going back sometimes isn't a bad thing. in fact it's critical if you want to solidify your identity. for humans life seems so linear, but it isn't at all. it's organic & we are beautiful, but not without our roots. all the fruit on the tree is dependent on the roots we can't see, and even what's beyond that. it has everything to do with our ability to love.
"the harder you look, the more you'll find…"
an archetype of love & beauty
she came to me
with universal mystery
shaping starry destiny
opening doors & setting free
no treasure map
no lock
no key
time's true nature is apparent
each snowflake that falls
becomes the ocean
the sky
belonging everywhere
able to rest nowhere
you can let it go
you can walk away
you can say goodbye
you can try to deny
what it's meant to mean
but what if you're wrong
what if our song
is still that hum in the shower
on bright mornings
sun pouring in
that carries you through the day
and at night when you sleep
is the soundtrack behind your dreams
there's no pretending
a complete cycle has been fulfilled
we were infants
gorging on magical milk
growing fast & tall & a little stronger
till we exhaled into the night
and from on top of the mountain we knew a god
but you see
there is no one victorious in love
and that light above
is not the moon
it's not the plasticky reflection from pictures in your wallet
it's not the flash of incoming calls on your cellphone
and it isn't the glow from the eyes of the one who wakes in your bed
it's all in your head
and eventually
like every living thing
it's dead
as with most dead things
the instinct is to burn & bury
call it a day
run far trying to dull the pain
or write it away
and i've done that many times, too
i had my reasons
i knew my intentions
but with you it is different
and i believe there is something new
so even if i'm usually too stubborn or foolish to admit it
i do need you
in winter's cold throws
the last few cinders combust
their glow fades away
the smoke floats off into the sky
an oak tree
once proud & tall
now elemental carbon
seeping down into the earth
ash mixing with dirt
one last gift of the great oak
to what will become
of the acorn it left behind
"maybe you've had the best of me, but…"

Obama Addresses Gates Controversy, Calls Arresting Officer
Susan Davis reports on politics.
Seeking to quell the controversy over his Wednesday comments on the arrest of Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr., President Barack Obama made a surprise visit to the White House briefing room this afternoon.
"I unfortunately gave an impression that I was maligning the Cambridge Police Department or Sgt. Crowley specifically, and I could have calibrated those words differently," Obama told reporters.
At his primetime press conference Wednesday, Obama said the police "acted stupidly" in arresting Gates in his own home. The officer, Sgt. James Crowley, said in media interviews Thursday that he acted appropriately.
Obama said he spoke directly with Crowley today and has extended an invitation to meet with the officer.
However, the president did not back away from his other remarks on racial profiling in America. "The fact that it has garnered so much attention, I think, is testimony to the fact that these are issues that are still very sensitive here in America," he said.
"I continue to believe that there was an overreaction in pulling Professor Gates out of his home to the station," he said. "I also continue to believe, based on what I heard, that Professor Gates probably overreacted as well."
"My sense is you've got two good people in a circumstance in which neither of them were able to resolve the incident in the way it should have been, or the way they would have liked it to be resolved," the president said.
Obama further rejected the criticism that as president he should not have weighed in at all. "That I disagree with," he said. "Race is still a troubling aspect of our society. Whether I were a black or a white, I think me commenting on this and hopefully contributing to constructive as opposed to negative understanding about the issue is part of my portfolio."
The president expressed frustration that the controversy has distracted from the conversation he'd rather be having. "I don't know if you've noticed, but nobody's been paying much attention to health care," he quipped.
UPDATE 4:06 p.m.: In a statement, the White House said Obama also spoke with Gates this afternoon at 3:15 p.m. "They had a positive discussion during which the resident told Gates about his call with Sgt. Crowley and statement to the media," reads the statement. Obama has invited Gates and Crowley to a meeting at the White House "in the near future."

Recently we have been hearing of internet projects of female entrepreneurs more. First, I should emphasize that it is a good development for this industry. If you ask why, they are more devoted to their work and are much more disciplined. Although there are similar examples in the world, these are the common features of women internet entrepreneurs in Turkey, which have often attracted my attention.
Thus, I would like to share an initiative that I should have shared a long time ago with you today. In addition to being an e-commerce initiative, EvimizinHerseyi.com actually works as a portal. It is progressing and as surely growing stronger especially with advances in the last period with a team of nine that is managed by Asli Gökdere.
In fact, EvimizinHerseyi.com is a 3-year initiative. It made innovations in 2009 that I wrote an article on by putting the emphasis on its content section and it has firmed its structure working like an online shopping portal. As they had mentioned, they consider content development as e-commerce business and include it in the website's overall structure.
The initiative now 90.000 members and consists of "Shopping", "OneDayOneProduct", "Magazine", "Contacts" and "House Album" sections.
In "Shopping" section, products on the site are sold as you can guess. In "OneDayOnePrduct" section, a specific product will be sold with a price set for it that day. "Magazine" section works as a blog and promotes interesting products, while providing venue reviews and giving current issues and content appropriate to EvimizinHerseyi.com.
"Contacts" has caught my attention as a different section EvimizinHerseyi.com offers as an e-commerce initiative. In this section, there are companies in different categories suitable to the site's model such as "Lighting", "Decoration", "Kitchen", and "White Goods" and you can find contact information, as well as sub-pages of companies in this section. Users can directly contact with the companies related to the products and services they need on "Contacts" page.
The section that I liked the most on EvimizinHerseyi.com is "Household Album" which I've found the most successful and makes the initiative closer to the new generation culture than classical culture. In this section, members can send photos of their houses in different styles such as "Modern", "Classic", or "Bohemian", and can make comments to the photos, or decoration styles, sent to other members.
This application increases the interaction between members and adds a community structure to classic e-commerce, which reveals the difference of female entrepreneurs as I mentioned at the beginning of writing.
I felt the same spirit in almost all of the initiatives managed by female entrepreneurs I have reviewed until today. These initiatives give their attention to details and make you feel devotion to their work love. EvimizinHerseyi.com already reveals this spirit in the most successful way …
I suggest you take a good look at EvimizinHerseyi.com which is a good example for Webrazzi readers that are entrepreneurs and a good source for people who are preparing for Christmas shopping.

Our goal has always been to provide quality, easy to use and affordable products to our consumer. While these products are not in of themselves garage floor coverings, they assist the consumer in installing coatings and even other garage floor products
Grand Junction, CO (PRWEB) November 14, 2012
Garage Flooring LLC, a leading online distributor of garage flooring and storage, announced today the addition of new products designed to help its customers clean the garage floor --while being environmentally friendly.
"Our goal has always been to provide quality, easy to use and affordable products to our consumer. While these products are not in of themselves garage floor coverings, they assist the consumer in installing coatings and even other garage floor products" states Justin Krauss, President of Garage Flooring LLC.
Garage Flooring LLC introduced three new products. The first is for acid etching and cleaning a floor prior to the installation of a garage floor coating. Typically this is done using muriatic acid which is extremely dangerous and difficult to properly apply. The new gel based acid suspends the acid in a gel solution which does not activate until it hits the concrete surface below. This reduces the severity of damage caused by exposure to the product, although consumers are still warned to take proper precautions. The product has recently been approved to ship via ground without HazMat labels and packaging --in up to four gallon cases.
In addition to be a safer way to etch a garage floor, in many cases the product is friendlier to the environment as well. The disposal guidelines for the product are less stringent which allows the product to be easily discarded without causing damage to the environment. Further, because the product is suspended in gel it tends to etch the garage floor more evenly than liquids.
Garage Flooring LLC has also launched the Pour N Restore line of oil stain removers and degreasers. Removing oil stains is necessary for any coating, but even consumers with no garage floor cover at all need to remove oil stains from their concrete floor.
Pour N Restore does not use harsh chemicals. It is applied in a liquid form and dries to a powder. Once the product is dried you simply sweep the oil stain away. According to the manufacturer Pour N Restore requires no scrubbing.
About Garage Flooring LLC
Garage Flooring LLC is a leading online distributor of garage flooring and storage based out of Grand Junction, CO. Garage Flooring LLC stocks some product while drop shipping others direct from the manufacturer.

That seems to be the implication of some emails between the public defender's office and a judicial assistant regarding the case of Charles Harper. (Harper pleaded guilty on February 2 to stalking his former foster dad, Broward Circuit Judge John Bowman).
The public defender's office refused to represent Harper because of a supposed conflict of interest: Bowman occasionally rules on whether to charge their clients. Harper's next option for a lawyer, the regional counsel, pulled out for similar reasons. He was finally assigned DUI attorney Bill Direnzo.
While the PD was trying to withdraw from the case, Harper was essentially without representation. This was not lost on the public defender's office, which knew the case was getting media attention. The assistant public defender, Jessica Medina, sent an e-mail
to Judge Ian Richards' judicial assistant on Sunday, January 23, asking to set a hearing for the following Tuesday to withdraw herself from the case.
The response from the judicial assistant, Lorraine Talamini, was curt:
Thursday, January 27, 2011 @ 9:00
Medina's reply on Monday morning:
Thank you, but it cant be set for tomorrow? It's a two minute hearing. I just talked to Mr. Harper who can make it tomorrow from Dade county.
No it can not. We already have too much set for tomorrow... Please do not wait to ask for the last minute for hearings and expect them to be put on right away...
The Judge told me I can have the hearing set if the client contacted me... This client needs an attorney ASAP. The hearing was previously set and it will take literally two minutes. It's a local media case. I will ask the Judge today in open court to set it for tomorrow.
You should have stated what you just said from the beginning. I will be taklking to th Judge about allowing you to set hearings in thecourtrom. It is not the way it is done.
I will set for tomorrow since you say the Judge instructed you. In the future make yourself clear with regard to it being a media case and the Judge telling you.
Emphasis is ours. As it happened, Judge Richards allowed Medina to file the motion to withdraw that day in the courtroom, without setting a hearing. This allowed the process of eventually assigning Harper a lawyer -- which Medina said needed to happen "ASAP" -- to proceed.
Talamini says that she was responding to the fact that the judge had told Medina she could set the hearing. "As far as it being a media case, I just threw that in [the email]," says Talamini. "The most important statement there is what the judge, who is my boss, is telling her."

Catherine Keuthan, executive chief assistant to Public Defender Howard Finkelstein, says that the office identifies "media cases" based on lawyers' concern that media coverage could influence a jury or trial, and a corresponding need to move quickly. With regard to the exchange with Talamini, Keuthan says "it sounds like [Medina] was trying to get the [judicial assistant] to move her butt... if that's what she said in order to do it, I'll give her credit for it."
As for the influence of media presence? "I suspect that would definitely make the judge want to move on the case," says Keuthan.

Chiaroscuro is a top-notch coffee shop. Their menu is extensive and everything is delicious, and the espresso with amaretto is my personal favorite. Prices are pretty normal for Florence, and as always you'll pay a lot less if you stand at the counter rather than sit. Evening buffets are 9 euro with one drink included.

France Invades U.S. (Part 1)
France Invades U.S. (Part 1)
reposted of BUZZ, http://forum.prophecies.us/viewtopic.php?t=18168
After months of build up, the French government, led by Jacques Chirac, launched a pre-emptive attack on the United States of America. Declaring the US "a rogue nation in violation of international law and in defiance of UN resolution 1441," France launched a major ground offensive to overturn what they called "the illegitimate regime of George W. Bush." Citing the 2000 election as proof of an unlawful government, the French claimed they are invading the US to bring democracy to the American people. Termed Operation American Freedom, Jacques Chirac declared on French National TV: "the failure of the US to disarm and the threats against France by the unelected president has created the need to invade America in order to protect us against the inevitable aggression by the US along with Bush's stockpiling of weapons of mass destruction." The US, he declared, was part of an axis of evil along with the United Kingdom and Israel. After a relentless bombing campaign termed "le shock et l'awe," French and German coalition forces captured Washington DC and the surrounding areas. German troops controlled territory from North Carolina to Florida.
Chirac appointed Dominique de Villepin as interim president and established a governing council of Americans. The complete transition to the American leadership occurred on June 30 2004. Made up of African Americans, Native Americans, Mexican Americans, and a few white "Conservatives," this council began governing the newly liberated US on July 1, 2004.
Meanwhile, former President George W. Bush has been arrested after a tip led to his capture in a "spider hole" just outside of Crawford, Texas. Bush was met by French soldiers with the greeting: "Jacques Chirac sends his regards." The American informant received 25 million Euros for the information and was given French citizenship and a change of identity. The former undisclosed American citizen who revealed "W's" whereabouts was hailed as a hero by the French media. George W. Bush was in good health and was seen on TV with a beard, long hair and his trademark cowboy hat. His daughters have vanished and his wife's whereabouts is unknown. President Bush has vowed his innocence and declared the French invasion illegal.
Meanwhile American Insurgents have fought the French army using guerrilla tactics and terrorist strikes. According to Chirac, these terrorists "hate freedom and will not succeed in our desire to bring peace, security and democracy to America." Chirac, when told of the upsurge in American resistance said: "Les bring 'em on."
In a recent event, American insurgents attacked an SUV carrying four French Foreign Legion Mercenaries. Dragged from their vehicle, the four Frenchmen were executed and dragged through the streets of Arlington, Virginia. Burned and hacked the French "contractors" were despicably hung from a bridge over the Potomac. The French government promised to "pacify" the American terrorists "at a time and place of our choosing."
The French forces, equipped with helicopters, missiles and advanced weaponry, attacked Arlington, Virginia inflicting 490 American deaths and over 1000 injuries. Called operation Vigilant Resolve, the government of Jacques Chirac claimed the action was justified to avenge the killing and humiliation of the so-called French "contractors". Terrorism, Chirac declared, "must be fought at all costs and France will never require a permission slip from anyone to protect its citizens."
Meanwhile, back in the US, American insurgents have retaken Charlotte, Savannah and Jacksonville. Chirac declared these terrorists will be defeated and the will of the French people is unshakable. Chirac, after landing on the French Aircraft Carrier Napoleon, and declaring, "Mission Accomplished," has admitted over 500 French soldiers have been killed and 3000 were wounded by the criminal and terrorist "freedom hating" Americans.
A spokesman for Chirac announced today that Donald Rumsfeld has been captured but his detention remains classified. Donald Rumsfeld, the Ace of Diamonds in Chirac's deck of cards, was the former Defense Secretary under the brutal undemocratic administration of George W. Bush. Rumsfeld, according to Chirac, was wanted "dead or alive". "The world today is a safer place with Rumsfeld in custody," said Chirac.
With the French death toll steadily rising and the American death toll in the tens of thousands, according to Chirac, "all human life is precious, even sometimes American, but such is the price of freedom and democracy."
In an extraordinary event, the radical preacher and former presidential candidate Pat Robertson declared today "Christian Jihad" against what he called French "Atheists". Citing, "better to die as a martyr," Robertson appealed to all Christians to expel the French invaders and return the US to its Christian traditions. Robertson has issued a "Fatwa" declaring the French "Atheists" as illegal invaders and to attack them with passion. "Jesus is Great," declared Robertson. The French government met in Paris this morning and declared Robertson an enemy of the American people and issued a warrant for his arrest.
In a stunning new development, the French government announced an estimated 10,000 Americans have been detained by French, German, Bulgarian, Ukrainian and Polish coalition forces in a newly built "rehabilitation" camp in West Virginia. Branded as "terrorists" these detainees, according to interim president de Villepin, are treated in accordance with Geneva Convention rules. However, he has denied the Red Cross or any human rights groups access to inspect living conditions in the West Virginia "rehabilitation" camp.
Today Chirac and Schroeder issued a communiqué announcing their scheduled meeting in Paris later this week to discuss the ever increasing terrorist violence in the US. Chirac and Schroeder will discuss the transfer of power to the American council on June 30 and how to combat the growing American insurgency.
Chirac and Schroeder concluded their communiqué stating: Vive la France and Deutschland über alles.

With the influx of rumors about the LG G2, we were bound to hear something from LG soon. While we know that the G2 will use a Snapdragon 800 processor, we now have information on the display straight from the LG itself. Late last night, LG sent out a press release detailing their newest piece of display tech, which happens to be the world's thinnest and narrowest full HD LCD display. At just 2.2mm thin and requiring a mere 2.3mm bezel, the display is certainly svelte and explains the uber-thin bezel that we saw in the leaked photos and videos of the G2. It's also nice and large at 5.2-inches diagonally.
In terms of how it looks, this display should produce images that are second-to-none. It's incredibly sharp at a 1920 x 1080 resolution and should feature impeccable contrast and color reproduction. Moreover, it's one of the brightest displays on the market with 535 nits of maximum brightness, which should help to get a clear look at the display even when in bright sunlight. There are other technical details that I won't go into, but if you're interested, you can read about them in the press release below.
Of course, this will inevitably be the display used on the G2. It matches up with the rumored 5.2-inch size, and we all knew LG would throw everything that it's got into building a great display for the G2. That makes us even more excited to get our grubby, little hands on the device and see that incredible display in person.
Are you guys excited for the G2 now that you know that it will have a Snapdragon 800 processor and this amazing display?Show Press Release
New panel will enable sleeker Full HD smartphones delivering superior viewing experience
Seoul, Korea (July 11, 2013) — LG Display [NYSE: LPL, KRX: 034220], a leading innovator of display technology, today announced that it will unveil the world's slimmest Full HD LCD panel for smartphones. The state-of-the-art 5.2-inch panel is an exciting advancement for the premium mobile device market enabling sleeker Full HD smartphones featuring better "grip-ability" and a superior viewing experience.
Only 2.2mm thin with a 2.3mm bezel, LG Display's new panel is both slimmest and narrowest among existing Full HD LCD panels designed for mobile devices. This world's slimmest Full HD LCD panel will provide larger visible display space on smartphones, critical as mobile devices are used for multimedia viewing more than ever before. Additionally, the panel will make devices easier to grip as well as lighter in weight.
Key to realizing the world's slimmest panel is LG Display's Advanced One-Glass-Solution (OGS), the latest touch technology enabling an enhanced touch screen experience, developed and applied to the new panel for the first time ever. Dual Flexible Printed Circuits, superior to a single circuit, have been inserted between the panel and touch film, reducing the number of lines on the panel by more than 30 percent. Utilization of a direct bonding system has also resulted in Optical Clear Resin between the panel and touch film for greater brightness.
The new panel's superiority in displaying resolution, brightness, and contrast ratio results in enhanced outdoor readability. By utilizing 1,080X1,920 pixels consisting of Red, Green, Blue (RGB) sub-pixels, the panel is a true Full HD display. And with a brightness of 535 nits at maximum, LG Display's panel outperforms all current mobile Full HD LCD panels. Finally, measuring contrast in real-life surroundings with Ambient Contrast Ratio results in a reading of 3.74:1 based on 10,000 lux, confirming the perfect performance of the panel even in strong outdoor sunlight conditions. Renowned testing firm Intertek has officially certified these results.
"Today's introduction of the world's slimmest Full HD LCD panel represents an exciting advancement for the high-end smartphone segment, and is possible due to our world-class expertise in IPS and touch technologies," said Dr. Byeong-Koo Kim, Vice President and Head of LG Display's IT and Mobile Development Group. "LG Display will continue its commitment to developing products that maximize consumer value as well as opening new doors for the mobile and tablet PC industry."

Everyone is concerned about their weight and the latest weight loss tactics draws big crowds. However, a recent article brings real food for though. On MdHealth.com, a recent article talking about a liquid diet being the answer has created a real stir. The article talks about the requirements for surgery. Many doctors put patients on a liquid diet before going under the knife. In many cases, the idea is to have the patient lose weight to lower the risks of surgery. However, could this liquid diet be the key to weight loss the healthy way?
Most patients drink chicken and beef broth as well as eating some oatmeal or other bland foods. However, these foods are naturally low in sugar, carbs, and can really help to fill a person up. Take for instance coffee. There are many studies doing on about those that drink coffee can lose weight faster. Coffee speeds up the metabolism and it tricks the stomach into thinking that it is full. The warm sensations that coffee give the stomach can mimic a warm, home cooked meal.
The liquid diet is not surprising to some; it's been right in front of their face for years. These diets encourage people to drink all the soda, milk, tea, coffee, water, and juice they want. Certain cereals, like oatmeal, cream of wheat, and farina can also be consumed. Soups can have a puree in them, but they should not have any chunks. The goal is that the digestive system has any stress its under removed. Those who attempt to lose weight by eating a 400-800 calorie diet may find themselves in trouble. A liquid diet gets the calories up, but it encourages the body to burn more.
Working with a dietitian and sticking to a strict regimen is helpful. There may need to be some nutritional supplements added to ensure one's health. Many are finding that their insulin-dependent diabetes responds very well to these liquid diets. Also, it is not uncommon for a person to lose 1-2 pounds daily rather than that amount in a week. So, the liquid diet may be just the thing that replaces the low-carb diet once and for all. People can drink anything they want, even have soup, and still, lose weight.

I have a new-this-summer Marquis plaster pool, about 33,000 gallons, with a Jandy Aquapure. FC about 7, CC -0-, pH 7.7ish, CH mid-200s, CYA 60, TA 120-130, salt 3300. Also, unbeknowst to me the poolbuilder added Mineral Springs salt rather than plain salt, so I also have a borate concentration of 50+ and whatever else is in that junk that I don't even know to test for.
A couple of odd things about my pool chemistry - I'd appreciate any advice.
First, I have the SWG down to 25% production and have cut the cirulation hours down to about 8 daily and I still have FC of about 7, which as I understand it is overkill for a SWG pool. Is it possible the cell is defective - generating too much? Should I have it looked at?
Second, about the time the poolbuilder started up the SWG, the TA shot up from a normal range to about 190 - maybe due to the Mineral Springs stuff, I don't know. I got it down to about 80 by lowering the pH to 7-7.2 and aerating - a slow painful process. As I've let the pH drift up (it looks around 7.7 now) the TA has gone back up with it, back now to 120-130. I thought that the whole point of this process was that the aeration would increase the pH without moving the TA. Any insights?
Thanks for your help.

B'nai B'rith—whose U.N. representatives and Jerusalem-based staff intensively monitored the Goldstone mission—has consistently deplored Goldstone report assertions as deeply damaging and without basis in fact. Arab and other states hostile to Israel have capitalized on the report to endlessly perpetuate condemnations of, and threats to push sanctions against, the Middle East's only proven democracy.
"Though some news outlets came to play a key part in spreading the distorted, prejudicial conclusions of his panel's report, Goldstone should above all correct the record at the Human Rights Council and other U.N. forums, so that the overtly politicized 'follow-up' to the report cease once and for all," said B'nai B'rith International Interim President Allan J. Jacobs.
B'nai B'rith International Executive Vice President Daniel S. Mariaschin added: "We reject Richard Goldstone's suggestion that official Israeli cooperation with the inherently biased 'fact-finding mission' would have positively changed the course of its final product. From information released comprehensively for the public record, virtually everything the Goldstone investigators had to know, they did—beforehand. They owe Israel and the men and women of the Israel Defense Forces—who are guided by the most impressive professional and ethical standards—a full and formal apology."
With escalating recent attacks against Israelis, and feverish Hamas and Hezbollah stockpiling of advanced weaponry, B'nai B'rith appeals to the international community to address the terrorist activity before, not after, Israel is forced to more aggressively protect its citizens.

Caustic Christ
This article's lead section does not adequately summarize key points of its contents. (November 2014)
|Caustic Christ
|Background information
|Hardcore punk, crust punk
|Years active
|Havoc Records
|Associated acts
Caustic Christ was a hardcore punk band from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.[1] They were on Havoc Records.
In late 2000, Bill (best known as the guitarist for The Pist) quit his band React and moved from Connecticut to Pittsburgh to start a band with guitarist/vocalist Eric Good and bassist Corey Lyons of Aus-Rotten. Together with drummer Ron Wingrove they began to practice in Corey, Eric and Bill's basement, played local shows and a few weekend tours, and recorded a demo. During that time, Aus-Rotten broke up and Bill also formed a band with their drummer and singer, Behind Enemy Lines. Sadly, in the spring of 2001 Ron was struck by a pickup truck while riding his bike in Pittsburgh and sustained brain damage. This left him unable to play drums for some time, and the band decided to replace him. Ron would later return to his hometown of Uniontown, PA, where he would participate in several local music acts. After a hiatus, drummer Greg Mairs (Submachine, Short Dark Strangers) joined the band. This was supposed to be a temporary solution while the band found another less busy drummer, but over 7 years later Greg is still an integral part of the band.
With Greg, they recorded their first 7", which was released on Havoc Records, as were all of their releases from then on. They have toured the United States extensively over the years with bands like Subhumans and Municipal Waste, and have been interviewed in Maximum RocknRoll, HeartattaCk, Suburban Voice, and numerous other punk zines. In 2006 they toured Europe.[1] They are local favorites, greatly admired in the Pittsburgh scene, and playing at the Mr. Roboto Project frequently. Caustic Christ played their last show on May 5, 2009 and have disbanded.[1]
In 2015, Caustic Christ reunited to play two shows as the annual Skull Fest in Pittsburgh, PA.[2] And in 2016 the band played a benefit for the family of Brandon Ferrell in Richmond, VA alongside Municipal Waste, Career Suicide, Night Birds, Blood Presure, and a reunited Double Negative.

Have a little faith: a true story is a beautiful, gentle reflection on Mitch Albom's (the author's) spiritual journey as he gets to know two people who become highly significant in his life.
The story begins with Albom being approached by a Jewish rabbi who asks him to write his eulogy believing that, when the time came, he would know what to say. Albom realises that he is going to need to get to know the rabbi if he is going to write an authentic eulogy. So he spends the next eight years visiting the rabbi who becomes very influential in Albom's own spiritual journey.
Over the same period, the author also gets to know a man from a very different world and spiritual faith — a black ex-drug dealer and criminal who had spent years in prison and was now pastoring a Christian church in Detroit that was collapsing around the parishioners' ears due to profound poverty. But Albom is intrigued by this pastor whom he finds it difficult to trust, given his history, but who does so much to help those in need.
As Albom gets to know these two men, he has to move between two very different worlds — Christian/Jewish; African-American/white; poor/rich. As he does so he is "forced" to explore two very different approaches to faith and spirituality.
Have a Little Faith is a wonderful book. As Albom shares his friendships with these two men and meditates on the meaning of each for his own life and spiritual journey, we learn much of what it means to deeply respect a diversity of approaches to living one's life — how to deal with suffering; the nature of heaven; the role of forgiveness; doubt; and the role of faith. As Albom moves through his relationships he comes to see the unity in the diversity of the two faiths.
Ultimately, the title of the book becomes the one thing that Albom learns is at the heart of all faith — the fundamental need that all people have for believing in something greater than themselves. Have a Little Faith is a beautiful story, beautifully written, and deeply moving.

BIG rom size!
I didn't know they came that big.
Anyhow, it seems quizzes are as popular as ever. First we got a Bible quiz for the ol' Wii, and now an occult sorcery quiz for the DS (if I understand right).
Oh yeah, they do. This is at least #28 that's this size. (21 of the 28 I've counted are from Japan!)
Wow. I never saw any of them. Perhaps the games weren't in my particular area of interest.
Anyhow, thanks for the info!
A list of 2048 megabit DS games
apparently my sources tell me this is a new version of the ROM...
which warrants an entire new release.
The title reminds me of Puzzle Quest for some reason.
PS: Really? No one is going to take the "That's what she said"?
PPS: Considering the number, it should have been James Bond: Quantum of Solace
Should see the OVA, its pretty funny.
That one is v1.0. This one is v1.1.
Since it is a different version, it is NOT a dupe.

A meteorite weighing about 10 tons fell through the atmosphere with an explosion that rocked Russia's Ural mountain region Friday. The powerful blast occurred about 9:20 a.m. local time.
In response, a state of emergency was declared. President Vladimir Putin ordered the Emergency Situations Minister to support those affected.
Army units have found three meteorite impact debris sites. Two of these
are near Chebarkul Lake, west of Chelyabinsk. The other is 80 kilometers to the northwest, near the town of Zlatoust.
"The light was so intense that it completely illuminated the courtyard
of our apartment block," said Sergei Zakharov, head of the Russian
Geographical Society in Chelyabinsk.
Approximately 1,000 people have been injured in Chelyabinsk alone
because of the disaster, according to the region's governor, Mikhail
Yurevich. The Emergency Ministry reports that 159 children are included among the injured.
Nearly 3,000 buildings were damaged by the meteor shower in the city,
including 34 medical facilities and 361 schools. Most of the damage was due to shattered glass. The administration head, Sergey Davydov stated that no local power station or civil aircraft were damaged.
An asteroid, know as 2012 DA14, was expected to pass close to Earth
Friday, NASA reported. It is not clear whether the meteorite even in the
Ural Mountains was related.

Chinese warship thwarts pirate attack
The 74,000 dwt Liberian-flag panamax tanker Lia, commercially managed by Amsterdam-based Seaarland Shipping Management, and technically managed by Motia Compagnia di Navigazione, has escaped a pirate attack thanks to swift action by a Chinese warship.
The vessel's crew, all 26 of whom are Indian nationals, are unhurt and the ship is proceeding normally on its voyage.
The Lia had loaded its cargo of naphtha in Amsterdam/Limassol and was proceeding to its discharge destination in China. The vessel arrived at the meeting point in the Gulf of Aden and, in line with company policy, awaited a naval escort for the transit of the Gulf of Aden.
The vessel was given a military escort by a Chinese warship along with three other vessels. On February 24, at 0900hrs, the vessel experienced an engine malfunction and was forced to stop. At 0935hrs the officer of the watch detected on radar two high-speed craft approaching the vessel and closing in dangerously. The Master raised the alarm on board and the crew started taking action as per the standard vessel security plan.
The Master asked the Chinese warship for immediate helicopter assistance, which arrived on the scene within minutes of the request. The helicopter positioned itself over the craft and the craft then ceased their approach to the Lia.
After this response by the warship and its helicopter, the Lia escaped the attempted attack and resumed its voyage. The vessel completed safe transit of the Gulf of Aden on February 25 and is now proceeding to discharge its cargo in China.
Last year Seaarland announced that it would route all its owned and chartered ships via the Cape of Good Hope unless a military escort through the Gulf of Aden was available.
Antonio Zacchello, managing director of Seaarland, says, "We have to act to protect our crews from piracy attack. In this case our decision to wait for a military escort proved correct. We thank them and the authorities and we hope that further action will be taken to eliminate piracy in this area, for the safety of our crews and for the good flow of trade. But for now we maintain our policy. We know this will cause extra expense and some delays for us and our charterers, but we work with good long-term partners and they understand the problem and understand that we have to protect our crews and ships, and their cargoes. Until the international community acts to suppress this piracy menace, the safest thing we can do is stay out of the area or use the military escorts, even if it means waiting, and that is what we are going to do, until the situation improves.
"This would have been another vessel in the hands of pirates had it not been for the intervention of the warship and the helicopter. These initiatives were available primarily as a result of strong political support, and for this we express our sincere gratitude and appreciation to all involved."
Seaarland is an Amsterdam-based shipmanagement company operating a fleet of tankers and bulk carriers for a variety of owners.

WHO to develop Essential Diagnostics List
Like the established World Health Organization (WHO) Essential Medicines List, the Essential Diagnostics List is intended to provide evidence-based guidance to countries to create their own national lists of essential diagnostic tests and tools.
15 June 2017 - The 20th WHO Model List of Essential Medicines was published on 6 June this year, with a number of important new additions, including a recommendation by the Expert Committee on the Selection of Essential Medicines that WHO develop an Essential Diagnostics List (EDL). Based on that recommendation, WHO has begun to lay the ground for the preparation of the list, which will become an important contribution to Universal Health Coverage (UHC).
Like the established Essential Medicines List, the EDL is intended to provide evidence-based guidance to countries to create their own national lists of essential diagnostic tests and tools. National essential medicines lists have been successful in facilitating access to treatment and promoting affordable prices, particularly in low-resourced countries, by prioritizing the most important medicines all countries need to make available to their populations. It is expected that national essential diagnostics lists will provide the same benefits for diagnostic tests.
"It's clear that treatment of an illness will not be effective if it is not diagnosed correctly," said Dr Suzanne Hill, WHO Director of Essential Medicines and Health Products. "The EDL will be another useful tool to help countries address their disease burden by focusing on evidence-based diagnostic tools."
The WHO Expert Committee on the Selection and Use of Essential Medicines acknowledged that diagnostic tests are essential to "diagnose the disease or subpopulation for which certain medicines may be indicated, and to monitor the medication effectiveness or toxicity. Furthermore, often the diagnosis has important implications for prognosis. The Committee recognized that Member States and countries might seek advice about which technologies to prioritize, how to shift from one technology to another, and which technologies should accompany essential medicines since they are strongly interconnected."
The Committee also recommended that the EDL list initially focus on in vitro diagnostics (IVDs) for priority areas such as TB, malaria, HIV and Hepatitis B & C, but that it should be expanded as soon as possible to other important conditions, including other antimicrobials and non-communicable diseases.
As a first step, WHO is creating a Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on In Vitro Diagnostics (SAGE IVD), which will advise WHO on global policies and the development of the EDL.
Some of the benefits expected from the EDL are improved patient care, greater capacity to diagnose diseases during outbreaks, increased affordability of tests, improved regulation and quality of diagnostic tests and strengthened capabilities of national laboratories.
See WHO Expert Committee on the Selection and Use of Essential Medicines report (page 29 for the EDL recommendations):
Source: WHO
The Global TB Community Advisory Board (TB CAB) has encouraged the establishment of a World Health Organization (WHO) Essential Diagnostics List (EDL) on several occasions. In October 2016 the TB CAB signed on a letter to the World Health Organization encouraging the development of an Essential Diagnostics List. In early 2017, the TB CAB and other organizations, including Treatment Action Group (TAG) and the European AIDS Treatment Group (EATG), submitted a public comment to the 21st Expert Committee on the Selection and Use of Essential Medicines in support of the establishment of a WHO EDL.

Pre-Trip Jitters
I had previously told my landlady I would be moving out by January 20, 2007, so I had to begin my move to buddy Andrew's place in the Eighth District. After several trips, I was finally all moved in by Jan 15. For those of you who don't know, the old Eighth District is not the best in Budapest. It still has quite a bit of trash in the streets and a lot of homeless and lower class population, but Andrew's flat is nice, recently remodeled and just around the corner from Rakoczi Ter, the former park hangout of most of Budapest's hookers. The clientele these days is mainly older people and homeless, but a covered market is adjacent to the park.
After the opera it was party, party, party until I dropped. Kicking off the festivities was the monthly meeting of the Viking Club at the Caledonia pub on Jan 4. Dinners and parties then included: dinner at the home of some Hungarian friends; a birthday dinner at Pampas Argentinian steak house; dinner with my doctor and her friend; a sushi party at Hiroko's new flat (she's the concert pianist mentioned in previous Blogs); Friday nights at The Stage (of course); a sojourn to Fat Mo's with some newbies in town; preparation of some long-promised New Mexican red chile for my newest roommate and another friend; drinks with some former students at Caledonia; a special (Robert) Burns night at Caledonia (complete with pipers and haggis); a Bon Voyage party for me at For Sale pub, the Stage, and Irish Cat II; the annual Little (Robert) Burns supper at the Scottish Mission; another Viking club on Feb 1. Whew!! I think I need a vacation.
A couple of interesting points. My doctor's friend, heavily into astrology, informed me that countries also have Zodiac signs, something I never knew. So, if you live in a country with your sign, you should be very happy and well-matched. Turns out that the only two countries in Europe having Sagittarius as their sign are Spain and Hungary! Yep, I've made it home. How about that! Also, on a sadder note, Fat Mo's has been completely remodeled into a nice, new, modern restaurant and music club. It's pretty, but has lost every bit of atmosphere and ambience and character the old venue had. Too bad - even the Hot Jazz Band members don't care for the new decor. Of course, they now have to wear ties when performing, and there's no place for the young followers of the band to gather, so we probably won't be going there as much anymore. What a shame.
I am now down to only two English classes, which meet on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons, so I can sleep in for a change. Nice. I also finally closed my Hungarian company, since I'll only be teaching for cash from now on. My new residence permit is based on my being a retired person rather than a businessman. Ah, well, all good things... Also, for those who are interested, please check out www.budapestfunzine.hu for my expat interview. There's even a fairly decent recent picture of Your Favorite Blogger.
Ooopps, I almost forgot! How could I possibly forget something of such significance? My fourth book is now available from Authorhouse.com, and will soon be on the other Internet booksellers, like amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, etc. It's a cheapy, but fun nonetheless - I hope! Anyway, for those of you who are on my around-the-world path, and who have recently purchased this newest effort from the pen of Yours Truly, I WILL personally inscribe any copies, with my own pen, and (one hopes) in a reasonably sober condition. I just keep churning them out! And Number Five is on the drawing board!!
So, my final week in Budapest was spent getting ready for my trip. I was READY to hit the travel trail again.
