Danat Jebel Dhanna Resort launches 24 Beachfront Chalets
Danat Jebel Dhanna Resort announces the opening of its 24 newly-built beachfront chalets that will cater to more tourists from European countries such as Germany, United Kingdom and our neighbouring GCC countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar while attracting new markets such as Scandinavia, China and CIS markets.
The project is a part of the expansion of Danat Hotels and Resorts, the hotel management division of National Corporation for Tourism and Hotels, to meet the travel demands and requirements of these key markets. In addition, the chalets with a white sandy beachfront of 800 metres and clear azure waters would reflect the brand's diverse and distinctive collection of UAE resorts, offering individuals and groups from the travel segment absolute privacy and a complete holiday experience with mesmerising views of the Arabian Gulf in a relaxed yet refined ambience.
For the last few years, Danat Jebel Dhanna Resort's main focus has been on the corporate segment with a concentration on the Oil and Gas industry due to its strategic location and proximity to the industrial hub of the city.
Speaking at the opening, Kevin Lawless, Hotel Manager of Danat Jebel Dhanna Resort said, "We are delighted to celebrate this milestone with the opening of our beachfront chalets. Danat Jebel Dhanna Resort has been receiving a number of holidaymakers mainly from the German market and we expect to see an increase in this segment in the coming years. We also anticipate new entrants in the source markets from Scandinavia and CIS with the opening of availability at the hotel as a significant increase from these markets has been observed in the last year in the UAE."
"Furthermore, the resort proves to be an ideal stopover for the GCC market offering travellers and their families a home away from home in luxury and style. The new chalets with elegant contemporary details that blend the comfort of life with coastal charm will also cater to the next generation of travellers and families who want to combine work and relaxation as well as demand style and substance", he added.
At an introductory offer of AED 899++, business and leisure travellers can enjoy the resort's facilities and services including a 20 percent off on dining and spa experiences. Not just for individuals and couples, families travelling with young ones get two children below the age of six stay and dine for free while enjoying the various amenities and water sport activities offered by the resort such as snorkelling, kayaking, deep sea fishing, wakeboarding and much more.
Known to present guests with true Arabian hospitality, Danat Jebel Dhanna Resort has a wide range of facilities to offer including a temperature controlled swimming pool for adults and kids, a fitness centre, two floodlit tennis courts, an indoor as well as an outdoor kids play area that guests can take pleasure from.
The special introductory offer available for a limited time period is valid only for UAE and GCC residents and is subject to applicable taxes and service charge. For reservations or for more information, call Danat Jebel Dhanna Resort at +971 2 801 2222 or visit www.danathotels.com

Club Bloggery pt 9: not funny
One of the most prominent recurring features of the long election campaign we've just put behind us were our politicians' and journalists' usually ill-fated moves to attempt the humour defence whenever some political stunt or statement didn't pay off.
We saw this first with Labor's star recruit Peter Garrett, who was reported to have said "once we get in, we'll just change it all" in what he was later at pains to describe as a "short and jocular" conversation with Channel Nine personality Richard Wilkins and talk radio shock jock Steve Price.
We're tempted to believe Garrett on this - you'd hardly spill campaign secrets if you found yourself talking to those two - but if nothing else he certainly showed some very poor judgment in joking with Price, who was subsequently proven to be Australia's unfunniest radio DJ this side of Kyle and Jackie O.
The "I was making a funny" excuse found only deaf ears and outraged faces when it was used again in the dying days of the campaign to soften the impact of bogus campaign flyers in the Western Sydney seat of Lindsay which claimed that Labor was sympathetic to Islamic extremism and supported the Bali bombers - a racist and deliberatively deceptive stunt which some commenters in the blogosphere dubbed 'bogangate'.
Not only were the flyers themselves offensive to anyone who bothered to read them, what was even more execrable were Kelly's painful attempts on radio and television to pass off the flyers as "a Chaser-type prank". As Laurie Oakes pointed out when he savaged Kelly with righteous rage after her interview, nothing about the Lindsay events was even remotely funny.
What was she thinking?
More amusing, but for all the wrong reasons, Jackass-style, has been the still continuing Wentworth saga. Now, we gently had a go at The Australian's columnist Caroline Overington in a Club Bloggery article a couple of weeks ago, when we asked whether there was anything but blind faith in John Howard's supposedly superior economic leadership behind her view that the interest rate rise was "good news" for the embattled PM.
Back then, we thought that Overington's performance on the campaign trail was simply pathetic - now, it seems more pathological. Once acclaimed for her award-winning coverage of the Australian Wheat Board scandal, she is now destined to be remembered as a partisan hack desperately attempting to safeguard the last best hope of moderates in the Liberal Party, Malcolm Turnbull, from losing his own seat of Wentworth in the election.
As has been widely reported (some of the stories made it as far as newspapers in India and Pakistan), Overington's antics first came to light when independent candidate for Wentworth (and one-time girlfriend of Labor's George Newhouse) Danielle Ecuyer revealed emails from Overington that strongly lobbied Ecuyer to direct her preferences to Mr Turnbull.
Though written in a chatty tone, the intent of those emails is unmistakeable - and the hint that a preference deal which met with Overington's approval would increase Ecuyer's chances to find herself on the cover of The Australian is what led Ecuyer to refer the whole matter to the Australian Electoral Commission for an investigation of whether such promises constitute undue (and possibly illegal) interference with the political process.
Overington also moved on to Newhouse himself, sending him a series of emails that appeared first to flirt with the Labor candidate, then descending rapidly towards threatening to have photographers cover every one of his steps in order to snap Newhouse in a less than appealing pose.
Again, the jocular defence was working overtime as the story broke - Overington herself responded to the first major stories about the affair on Media Watch and Lateline with an article in The Australian, which - true to form for the paper - attacked the messenger in the shape of Media Watch's executive producer Tim Palmer.
The Australian's editor Chris Mitchell wasn't as forthcoming in his response to the controversy, choosing instead to redefine Overington's role from "journalist" to "colour writer" (the media equivalent of a footy club expressing 'full confidence' in their head coach). Mitchell's boss, Rupert Murdoch, even reserved the potential for disciplinary action over the affair for now.
Who's laughing now?
Ultimately, the "just kidding" defence, and its almost inevitable echo of "not funny" from the electorate, point to a deeper malaise in the relations between politicians and professional commentariat on the one hand, and citizens and citizen journalists on the other.
Over the past decade, it's become more and more evident that the former have lost respect for the other.
To be fair, citizens may be partly to blame for this - many have willingly accepted their depoliticisation and disenfranchisement, showing little interest in political scandals from Tampa to Iraq, in media affairs from cash for comments to the branch-stacking of the ABC board, for as long as interest rates remained low.
Increasingly, a view of citizens as gullible masses to be governed (rather than as electors to be served) prevailed in the closely interwoven circles of those on the floor of parliament, and those in the press gallery above.
The election result may help restore some of that respect for the independence and intelligence of the electorate - voters have declared clearly that they can no longer be taken for granted, and are ready to be won over by either side of power if presented with credible alternatives.
Whether on the left or on the right, politicians and journalists would do well to maintain that respect, and lift their game.
Physical comedy
As The 7.30 Report's Michael Brissenden put it last Monday, voters may not have been out there with baseball bats for the Howard government, but "there were an awful lot of people waiting on the veranda for John Howard with a pair of comfortable old slippers and a rocking chair" for his retirement. They may still need that bat, though, if only to defend themselves from journalistic has-beens.
Overington's latest foray into the news came once again for all the wrong reasons, when she ran into her unlikely nemesis George Newhouse at a voting booth on Saturday, sidled up to him for what appears to have been a short, but not at all jocular conversation, and then reportedly gave him a good old whack across the face as a parting shot. (We're looking forward to seeing her explain that one away as part of a new physical comedy routine.)
This outburst followed reports that Overington had been ringing bloggers who'd posted negative comments about her, requesting those posts to be taken down (and hinting at possible legal action).
That this bizarre melodrama plays out against the backdrop of The Australian's miraculous conversion to Ruddite supporters in the wake of Labor's victory (and, perhaps more importantly, of Rupert Murdoch's visit to Australia a couple of weeks ago) only further highlights the isolation of Overington and her dwindling band of fellow travellers. As one user at The Poll Bludger commented:
It's probably better just to ignore Caroline Overington. All of her recent articles have been nothing other than attempts at attention-seeking. She is deliberately going out of her way to try to wind up Labor voters, which is why she isn't even bothering to make any rational or reasoned arguments, just a heap of empty statements designed to provoke outrage.
Colour writer indeed. Fading fast.

Here is a summary of the latest good news and bad news in the war on terrorism.
Good news: The Bush administration has finally "thrown the prestige of the White House behind addressing Middle East violence," according to the New York Times. This should be welcomed by Americans who get the picture—who see that, because hatred of America will translate into American deaths with growing efficiency as technology advances, the festering Palestinian issue is a long-term security threat to the United States.
Bad news: George W. Bush seems not to be among these enlightened Americans. His suddenly heightened concern with Middle East violence has little to do with its direct implications for homeland security. By all accounts, his main worry is that the violence will complicate his plan to invade Iraq. Of course, that invasion could itself in some ways increase American security, but it would also have the downside of increasing the amount of Islamic hatred of America. So, one way to summarize the Bush Middle East policy is this: Let's stop the carnage that is making America more enemies every day—at least, let's stop it for long enough so that America can make some more enemies.
Good news: The administration continues to favor the resumption of United Nations arms inspections of Iraq.
Bad news: This stated position is of course disingenuous. The administration has scrupulously avoided defining what would constitute an acceptably robust inspection regime. This will free Bush to dismiss any regime Hussein agrees to as inadequate. For good measure, the administration has ensured that Hussein has no incentive to permit inspections anyway. As a Sunday New York Times op-ed piece by Ivo Daalder and Elisa Harris notes, Secretary of State Colin Powell has said that even if Hussein submits to U.N. inspections, regime change will be in order. So Bush's message to Hussein is: If you don't submit to weapons inspections, we'll kill you, whereas if you do submit to weapons inspections, we'll kill you.
Bad news: A much-discussed New Yorker piece by Jeffrey Goldberg posits a link between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaida and offers evidence that Iraq smuggled chemical or biological weapons to the Taliban in 2000.
Good news: Goldberg's case is far from conclusive. It rests on interviews with prisoners held by Kurds who have a strong political interest in convincing Americans of an Iraq-al-Qaida link. And the Kurds seem never to have let Goldberg interview the prisoners alone. And the smuggling allegation rests on the word of a single prisoner with an admittedly nefarious background. (Goldberg himself, in a Slate dialogue, carefully circumscribes the claims he makes in the piece.) In any event, the emotional impact of the piece comes from a different dimension of it—Goldberg's vivid account of how the Iraqi government gassed to death many thousands of Iraqi Kurds in the late 1980s. President Bush cited this part of the article as evidence of Hussein's "barbaric behavior." Of course, that Hussein is a horrible man is not exactly news, even if Goldberg drives the point home with special force. In fact, everyone in the Iraq debate—pro-invasion and anti-invasion—already agrees that Hussein is a ruthless monster. So, logically speaking, the New Yorker piece should have little effect on the debate over how to handle Iraq (though the tenuous evidence of an Iraq-al-Qaida link is suggestive enough to warrant a follow-up investigation by American intelligence).
Bad news: In Washington, "logically speaking" and $1.50 will get you a ride on the Metro. Anything that stirs up visceral loathing of Hussein will work in favor of invasion, and the New Yorker piece certainly succeeds there.
Summary: All signs continue to point to war with Iraq—not as a last resort (which is the kind of war I favor), but as a first choice. And as for Israel: If lasting peace miraculously arrives there, the impetus will probably have come from somewhere other than the White House, whose overriding aim is to calm things down for a few months, not find a lasting settlement.

Intel is gearing up to introduce its 600MHz Pentium III processor next month, announcing price cuts of up to 14 per cent on its existing range of Pentium III processors.
The price cuts also come a month or so before rival Advanced Micro Devices is due to introduce its Athlon processor, formerly the K7, which it will aim at the same high-end desktop markets as Intel's Pentium III. Intel said the timing of the price reductions isn't related.
"We have a new product, the Pentium III 600MHz, coming shortly, and we're adjusting the pricing to make room for the new product," an Intel spokesman said.
Intel cut 12 per cent off the price of 550MHz and 500MHz Pentium IIIs and 14 per cent of the 450MHz Pentium III. Intel also cut the price of the 450MHz Pentium II processor by 14 per cent, the company said.
An Intel executive last week said the company has begun shipping the 600MHz Pentium III to PC manufacturers, who plan to offer the chip in desktops and workstations in August.

CAIRO (AP) — Egyptian judicial officials say that a Cairo court has delayed to October hearings against Muslim Brotherhood leaders accused in connection to the killing of protesters.
The three, including the Islamist group's leader Mohammed Badie, were not present at Sunday's session for security reasons. The next session will be Oct. 29.
Egypt launched a massive crackdown on the Islamist movement after moving to break up two sit-ins in Cairo on Aug. 14, triggering the worst bout of violence since the country's 2011 uprising against Hosni Mubarak.
Officials spoke anonymously as they were not authorized to talk to reporters.
Separately, Mubarak appeared before another court for a session of his retrial on charges of killing protesters during the 2011 uprising.

The current generation of the Jeep Grand Cherokee has been a successful release for Jeep and was highly rated by Car and Driver in the mid-size crossover and SUV category. Car and Driver states that the 2014 edition featured a better use of the vehicle's V6 engine and better fuel economy, with the city and highway efficiency having improved by one mile per gallon each.
In the full-size sedan category, the Chevrolet Impala is reviewed as having a stylish design and upgraded with the latest electronics. The car has a 2.5 liter inline four-cylinder engine that handles capably in spite of the vehicle weight of 3,700 pounds.
The Ford Fusion is one of Car and Driver's top choices in the family sedan category. The Fusion also garners rave reviews for its stylish design as well as for good handling and plenty of tech features. Car and Driver lauds the car for its price in comparison to its features.
The Nissan Juke is the only top-rated car in the small crossover and SUV market. Car and Driver calls it fun and speedy, with plenty of responsiveness for a 1.6 liter four-cylinder engine.

Which flight simulator is best right now? The answer is simple.
Microsoft Flight Simulator X is the best desktop flight simulator software right now.
There you have it. Simple enough right? No build up, no double talk, no caveats. Just a simple answer for you.
There are basically 3 top shelf flight simulator software platforms to choose from in 2010.
Microsoft Flight Simulator X
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 (FS9)
X-Plane 9
Each has a dedicated group of hobbyists that claim it as the best and favorite choice for the flight simulator experience. Sometimes their reasoning is emotional, but there are also a lot of practical differences that set these flight simulators apart in appearance, use, and functionality.
Flight Simulator X
Flight Simulator X (FSX) is the latest version of the Microsoft Flight Simulator franchise. Although the future of the product has been in doubt over the last couple of years, it remains as the largest, most sophisticated, and most full featured flight simulator available for your desktop environment.
The community behind this product is massive, with several global flight simulation portals that cater to the needs of its users. The choices for 3rd part addon products for FSX are immense, and continues to grow.
Some downsides to the FSX platform are that it is very demanding on home computers, and if you do not have a fairly recent home computer, with good hardware specs for gaming, you may not achieve an enjoyable user experience from this software. This has probably been the number one impediment to its success over the last few years. Though it would seem that in the last 12 months that the tables have begun to turn, in that even mediocre hardware by today's standards are able to run the simulator well enough for a decent user experience. However, if you desire the full FSX experience, you will need to make sure to invest in a full featured computer, with up to date gaming hardware.
Flight Simulator 2004 (FS9)
FS9 continues to maintain a very strong foot hold in the flight simulation community. It is considered by many to be the best, most stable, and most widely used flight simulator in the Microsoft flight simulator history. For those that have had continuing problems achieving a satisfactory experience with FSX it remains very popular.
The choices for 3rd party addons are also immense. This simulator had a VERY long and successful run, and as such, there are a tremendous number of both commercial and free addons available for it. Some of which were incredibly popular amongst various niche user groups within the flight simulator community.
Many users within the community continue to list FS9 as the best flight simulator because it continues to meet their needs in ways that the other simulator can not. Most notable is that it can run very well on high end computers, providing a very smooth experience, with great visuals, and tons of specialized addons can be attained at ever more affordable prices.
FS9 itself can still be purchased for very low prices, because of its age. Users of FS9 are able to interact with users of FSX and X-Plane in various multiplayer environments. There is no doubt that FS9 could remain popular for several more years to come, with many users keeping installations of both FSX and FS9 on their systems.
X-Plane 9
This simulator enjoys a reputation for providing more physically accurate flight dynamics that represent a more true representation of physics. Although this point is debated heavily, it remains the primary differentiation between X-Plane and the Microsoft line of flight simulators.
X-Plane offers a substantially different user experience to flight simulator hobbyists, and is capable of running on a wide variety of computer hardware, including support for PCs, Macs, and Linux operating systems. Another strong selling point for those users who do not use Microsoft Windows.
This simulator also comes with baked in tools for helping users to develop their own aircraft and scenery addons. Although, it could be said that most users will never use the tools due to the complexity and time requirements for getting involved with this aspect of the flight simulator hobby.
The user interface for X-Plane is often cited as one of the weakest features of the software. Though long time users of the software will certainly feel more comfortable using the interface, many new users, and especially those that are already familiar with Microsoft Flight Simulator can experience frustration when attempting to configure the simulator and use its various features.
When it comes to the over all aesthetic immersion and visual flight environment, X-Plane is no doubt the weakest of the 3 flight simulators mentioned in this article. While it has made great strides in the past few versions, and does in fact incorporate some great visual effects, it does not compare to the capabilities of Microsoft Flight Simulator products.
If flight simulators have a fun side and a serious side, then it could be said that Microsoft Flight Simulator products attempt to strike a good balance between these two aspects of flight simulation. X-Plane tends to illuminate the serious side of flight simulation, but does not hold up when it comes to the over all fun factor.
The community behind the X-Plane flight simulator is far smaller than Microsoft Flight Simulator, and the availability of 3rd party addons can not begin to compare to the Microsoft Flight Simulator franchise. The number of dedicated community websites for X-Plane is also far smaller than those dedicated to the Microsoft franchise.
X-Plane is often considered a more professional choice by those involved with commercial flight simulator development aimed at corporate customers. The reputation for X-Plane as being a true flight simulator, while Microsoft Flight Simulator is a game for flight simulator hobbyists remains. Right or wrong. The absence of game oriented features, and the fact that it is rarely marketed as a game is a major contributor to this impression.
To each their own.
Each of the flight simulator options discussed in this article are enjoyable. They are also all so reasonably priced, that a dedicated flight simulation enthusiast could probably try all three to decide what they liked best.
The flight simulator hobby is becoming more niche every day. This probably isn't going to change any time soon. So a new user to any of these flight simulators is good for the entire community. We hope that everyone finds something that they can sink their teeth into and enjoy.

Ghaziabad: Authorities in Ghaziabad have illegally cut down over 5,600 trees in the last eight years, an environmental activist claimed on Thursday.
Environmentalist Akash Vadhishtha, in a press conference, alleged that the Ghaziabad forest department has been lax in prosecuting the offenders.
He said the office of the divisional forest officer (DFO) provided him the data under the Right to Information Act.
He said the development authority illegally cut 4,935 trees in the last eight years, while the municipal corporation cut 721 and the Avas Vikas cut 11 trees.
The activist said the information revealed that out of 137 criminal cases registered under the UP Trees Protection Act of 1976, no offenders were booked in the last 10 years.
The department wrapped up 132 cases by merely imposing financial penalty, he said.
Meanwhile, local councillor Rajendra Tyagi has filed a police complaint against cutting of trees to build a cycle track in the city.

Blood of Beasts (October 16/05)
With its extraordinarily low-budget production values (think Saturday morning television) and thoroughly straight-forward storyline, it's hard to shake the feeling that Blood of Beasts will play better among less discriminating viewers. The ceaseless silliness within Paul Anthony's screenplay is exacerbated by director David Lister's visually inert sense of style, and though the movie never quite becomes a flat-out bore, there's little here worth getting excited about.
Set in Viking times, the film opens with a flashback that finds warrior Agnar (David Dukas) about to head off into battle - much to the disappointment of his lover, Princess Freya (Jane March). Agnar is thought lost in the ensuing melee, and - three years later - the King (Greg Melvill-Smith) decides to conquer a small island that supposedly holds a mythical beast. The beast - which actually turns out to be Agnar in a bear suit - easily defeats the King and his men, leaving Freya with no choice but to attempt a rescue.
That Blood of Beasts was original titled Beauty and the Beast doesn't come as much of a surprise, as the majority of the film's second half revolves around the tentative relationship between Freya and the beast (despite the fact that Freya inexplicably has no idea that the beast is, in fact, her former beau). Of course, this doesn't sit well with Freya's betrothed, a cowardly, power-hungry warrior named Sven (William Gregory Lee).
The line between good and evil remains explicitly drawn throughout Blood of Beasts, and it seems obvious that the film has been designed to appeal to a fairly young demographic. In terms of the performances, they're pretty much at the same level as the film itself - though March and co-star Justin Whalin do deserve some kudos for attempting to breathe life into their overly-simplistic characters.
Blood of Beasts essentially comes off as a lesser Xena: Warrior Princess or Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, ensuring that fans of this sort of thing will probably find something here worth embracing.

Tanking / Waterproofing Kit:
The tanking kit is a ready-mixed, under-tile tanking system to protect water sensitive substrates from exposure to water. Suitable for wet areas not exposed to pressurised water, such as bathrooms, showers in residential buildings, hotels, old people's homes and hospitals.
Ready to use, no mixing required and easy to apply with a roller.
The kit includes a high performance joint reinforcing tape to protect against movement in floor joins and corners etc.
The contents are all INSIDE the bucket and the contents are protected in the bucket with polystyrene infill's to stop transit damage.The instructions are printed on the rear of the tanking kit.
For instructional video on the preparation and waterproofing (tanking) of your wet room or walk in shower see: Tanking-a-Wet-Room

Wetrooms online WETBASE low profile shower trays are designed to create a flat walk in shower area without raised steps or platforms. This tray is designed to be inset into or on top of WOODEN floors and then tiled over.
The Coated shower tray is pre machined with the correct falls in all directions to the drain which is partly attached to the tray.
It requires additional support which is achieved by fitting plywood panels between the joists.
Conventional floor boards are approx 20mm thick so laying the tray on top of the joists would bring the top of the tray level with the floor boards.
WE DO NOT recommend tiling straight on to floor boards. We recommend that the entire wooden floor is covered in a 10mm thermal tile backer board prior to tiling and therefore you may need to insert a 10mm packer under the wetbase

Mayor Edna Jackson, Savannah City Council and City Manager Stephanie Cutter, the answer to that swamp downtown (Savannah River Landing) is spelled out for you by some credited and proven businessmen ("City should explore multi-use stadium," Letters, Aug. 23).
We have already lost seven years and this may be the recovery. Don't let this opportunity get away from you.
In 1951, Hutchinson Island had a sulfur mill and plenty of mosquitoes. That has been eliminated - and may I say, in a very fine fashion.
The old Coke Field on the opposite side of President Street was almost impossible to play because of mosquitoes and swamp-like conditions. These problems and others concerning Savannah River Landing site can be eliminated.
A ball park at SRL would be a beautiful thing. Envision the build-up around it.
I played baseball in the 1960s in Grayson Stadium. It has much charm and fond memories. It can stay and be used in many different ways.
Oglethorpe's 'magical' plan should be expanded
We have a rare opportunity to shape the future of Savannah.
In 1733, Oglethorpe laid out the first wards, a tradition which continued until the city ran out of "common" land. Due to this and the 19th century planting of live oaks and the design/build of beautiful 19th century masonry residential homes, the city is one of the most attractive in the world.
Now, as we begin to approach our 300th year, new opportunities have recently arisen for expansion. We now have a chance that may never come again.
In 2005-2006, the exciting Savannah River Landing project was envisioned. The Savannahians who conceived this were visionaries who took a big risk at the wrong time. Let's hope something good will result from this effort.
Regardless of what happens to SRL, there are other great opportunities for expanding the magical ward plan. I hope, for instance, we are working with the Housing Authority and others who control the land at the eastern terminus of Oglethorpe and Liberty Streets. This land is well-elevated and the grand boulevards of Liberty and Oglethorpe should be extended eastward. Wherever possible, new additional residential wards designed just like Oglethorpe's originals, should be laid out.
Seeing play worth driving 400 miles
On Aug. 24, we were privileged to be at the Savannah Theatre for the production of Les Miserables.
We have been to the Fox in Atlanta many times for a great number of stage presentations and I would rank this production to be as good as any we have seen over the years.
We drive almost 400 miles round-trip to see this group of fantastically talented young men and women and it is worth every mile. I know that your readers who live in the Savannah area, and especially those who have never been to the theater, will want to take advantage of every opportunity to see these productions.
Our congratulations on a marvelous show. We're looking forward to Christmas.

America doesn't need more gun laws
To answer Edward Lewis' letter of Aug. 29 on gun laws and address some of his misleading statements, I disagree with the idea we need more laws on the subject of guns.
The Second Amendment was not ratified until 1791, eight years after the War of Independence. To form a militia was not about national defense in fighting for our independence.
The first 10 amendments to the Constitution, or Bill of Rights, are written very simply. The Second Amendment is a single sentence of two separate rights tied together with some commas. One comma Lewis left out was important. It should read, "A well regulated Militia, (comma), being necessary to the security of a free state, (defines purpose of Militia). Now it is finished talking about the Militia and following that comma a second right - the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be abridged.
As a former command sergeant major, I would say the military never pursued larger capacity magazines because they are too heavy and bulky to carry and put to much pressure on the magazine latch. Our soldiers are well-trained, demonstrate firing discipline and can change magazines quickly.
PETA criticizes local pet adoption effort
Contests that encourage animal shelters to reach a certain number of adoptions by a deadline may be well-intentioned, but they promote hasty adoptions and foster the mindset that results in animals being dumped at shelters in the first place ("Animal Control/Humane Society collaboration fizzles," Aug. 27).
Homeless dogs, cats, rabbits and other animals are individuals, each with its own needs and personality. Each deserves to be carefully matched with an adopter who will be a good fit.
Giving animals away for free encourages people who aren't emotionally or financially prepared to care for an animal for the next 15-plus years puts animals in danger. I encourage shelters to focus on quality - not quantity - when it comes to adoptions.

Kelgray, a leading data capture solutions provider, has launched a new range of aggressively priced direct thermal and thermal transfer barcode label printers. Aimed at the desktop and industrial markets the printers come with label design software, ribbons, labels and drivers offering plug & print capabilities out of the box.
The EZ-1200 series is a range of compact printers with a small footprint, but with label and ribbon capacity of a larger printer. The printers can take a 127mm (5) diameter label roll and a 300 metre ribbon and come with both direct thermal and thermal transfer printing options as standard. A range of expandable options is available for the EZ-Fit range, including stripper, cutter and additional memory. For simple connectivity the EZ-1200 printers come with USB, serial and parallel interfaces as standard and optional EZ-Ethernet. Prices for the EZ-1200 printers start at just 250.00.
The EZ-2200 series is designed with a rugged metal case and state of the art mechanisms for the large volume industrial label printing environment and costs less than half of the price of an equivalent thermal printer. The printers have large graphic LCD displays to clearly show service information such as label out and ribbon out. USB, serial, parallel and PS2 ports offer a range of connection options and, with the simple addition of a keyboard, this printer can operate completely stand alone without the need for a PC. This is achieved by storing the label designs in the printer memory for recall and print via a conventional PS2 keyboard.

Here it comes again! Toast to M acoustic, recorded one year ago.
The cute and talented people are: Anso Lundin, Victor Hvidfeldt, Per Nordmark and Johannes Borgström.
I sang two songs on a Swedish TV-show called "På spåret" which could be translated to "on the track" or maybe "on the right track". Hm. Anyways, it's a game! The participants are to look at a monitor, pretending they're not in a Tv-studio but on a train and then they guess where they're going. They are given clues on the way and when they know the destination they have to answer some questions. Sometimes these questions are about bands and songs somehow related to the destinations. In this case Fleetwood Mac – Tell Me Lies and T'Pau – China In Your Hand. It might sound and look silly but don't tell that to the Swedes, this show is very important in our culture, almost holy, just like IKEA!
The best christmas gift EVER must be this one! A remix of Meet a Bear by Dammit I'm Mad.
Have a listen:
Thanks everyone for 2010! The steak is in the oven, the fake champagne is on ice on the balcony. Biggest thank you goes to those who've been helping out – Per, Mathias, Johan, Märta, John, Tive, Anders, Johannes, Victor, Anso, Henrik, Markus, Oskar, Markus 2… I couldn't have made Current Affair Medium Rare without you! And, since it wouldn't have been so much of a point to make the record if everyone reading this wouldn't have wanted it, another Biggest Thank You goes to YOU! It's been a good year, and best of all, I've got a feeling 2011 will be even better! Current Affair Madium Rare made it to some lists of best record of the year (in swedish): DN, Nöjesguiden, Gaffa 1, 2, 3.
The toast for every New Year forever on:
I was asked to interpret Swedish poet Sonja Åkesson (1926-1977) together with some fine musicians. I immediately fell for a poem called "Man får göra det bästa av allt" which means "You Have to Make the Best Out of Everything" which I find to be very true! You have to get up, you have to get dressed, you have to eat, everything is ok or will probably be ok if it's not ok right away… Have a listen!
I'm very proud to present the video for my next single Toast to M. It's not a song about loss. It's simply a toast or a postcard to someone who lived in my neighbourhood as I grew up.
The video is made by Sweden's finest: Bold Faces.

Shield law moves forward in wake of AP intrusion
In the wake of disclosures that the Department of Justice subpoenaed AP phone records last year, the White House has renewed its push for a shield law for journalists that could have stopped such an intrusion.
A White House official called New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, the bill's sponsor back in 2009, and asked him to reintroduce the measure, an official familiar with the conversation told NBC News.
"This kind of law would balance national security needs against the public's right to the free flow of information," Schumer said in a statement. "At minimum, our bill would have ensured a fairer, more deliberate process in this case."
Schumer later told reporters he had been thinking about introducing the bill over the past few days, and then got a nod from the White House.
"We were planning to resurrect it and had been working on it the last day or two. And this morning, coincidentally, the White House called."
"What's happened with the AP is it's brought out the need to have some kind of standard," Senator Schumer said. "Because there are two legitimate, competing interests. So I think there will be far more impetus for this legislation now than there was several days ago."
"There are two needs in society," said Schumer. "There is the need for a free press…at the same time there is a need to prevent leaks, particularly of classified information."
A fellow Democrat, Sen. Jon Tester of Montana, also announced he would co-sponsor the measure. In a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder, Tester told the head of the Justice Department that his agency "flagrantly crossed the line" when it seized AP phone records.
"As reported, these actions represent a blatant violation of privacy, and directly interfere with the Constitutionally protected rights of the press to do its job free from government intrusion or direction," Tester said to Holder. "Such actions are not what Americans expect. And they're not what Americans deserve."
The legislation was supported by the White House in 2009, and passed the Senate Judiciary Committee but was never brought up for a full Senate vote. The proposed shield law would protect journalists from jail time and fines if they refuse to disclose their sources, and reporters can also appeal to a federal judge if they are subpoenaed. However, a judge can still decide that revealing such information is in the public's interest or if national security concerns compel such a release.

Inequality Matters in Student Performance
Posted By Levi
December 12th, 2011 7:45pm
Category: Education
Professor Helen F. Ladd and Edward B. Fiske published an excellent op-ed in the New York Times today looking at the connection between poverty and student performance. Excerpts:
• No one seriously disputes the fact that students from disadvantaged households perform less well in school, on average, than their peers from more advantaged backgrounds. But rather than confront this fact of life head-on, our policy makers mistakenly continue to reason that, since they cannot change the backgrounds of students, they should focus on things they can control.
• The Occupy movement has catalyzed rising anxiety over income inequality; we desperately need a similar reminder of the relationship between economic advantage and student performance.
• No Child Left Behind required all schools to bring all students to high levels of achievement but took no note of the challenges that disadvantaged students face.
• So why do presumably well-intentioned policy makers ignore, or deny, the correlations of family background and student achievement?
Some honestly believe that schools are capable of offsetting the effects of poverty. Others want to avoid the impression that they set lower expectations for some groups of students for fear that those expectations will be self-fulfilling. In both cases, simply wanting something to be true does not make it so.
• Another rationale for denial is to note that some schools, like the Knowledge Is Power Program charter schools, have managed to "beat the odds." If some schools can succeed, the argument goes, then it is reasonable to expect all schools to. But close scrutiny of charter school performance has shown that many of the success stories have been limited to particular grades or subjects and may be attributable to substantial outside financing or extraordinarily long working hours on the part of teachers. The evidence does not support the view that the few success stories can be scaled up to address the needs of large populations of disadvantaged students.
• A final rationale for denying the correlation is more nefarious. As we are now seeing, requiring all schools to meet the same high standards for all students, regardless of family background, will inevitably lead either to large numbers of failing schools or to a dramatic lowering of state standards. Both serve to discredit the public education system and lend support to arguments that the system is failing and needs fundamental change, like privatization.
Given the budget crises at the national and state levels, and the strong political power of conservative groups, a significant effort to reduce poverty or deal with the closely related issue of racial segregation is not in the political cards, at least for now.

Catherine Duchess of Cambridge struck a patriotic chord with her Canada Day ensemble, stepping out in items from U.K. labels in the colours of the Maple Leaf, and a symbolic jewelry piece from the monarch with ties to Canada.
While Kate donned new looks from Canadian labels for the first day of her first official visit abroad, she went back into the wardrobe Friday for a more familiar favourite.
The Duchess arrived at the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Gatineau, Que., wearing a cream dress from Reiss. The Nannette dress - with three-quarter length sleeves, an asymmetrical draped neckline and ruffle detail - is the same one she wore for her official engagement photo with Prince William.
Her topper from milliner Sylvia Fletcher at Lock and Co. had a distinctive Canadian flavour, complete with its rich red hue and adornment of fabric maple leaves.
And for an added regal touch, the duchess wore the Queen's diamond Maple Leaf brooch. The Queen, as Princess Elizabeth, wore the brooch on her first visit to Canada in 1951 and again on Canada Day last year.
Kate completed the look with a straw cream and red fan clutch purse from Anya Hindmarch, and red heels.
Canadian womenswear designer David Dixon said he thinks Kate's look was appropriate for the occasion.
"The fact that she has worn this dress before sends a message that she is aware of her role, and that she may not be willing to take on the role of a fashion icon as of yet, or simply to be known or noticed for what she wears," Dixon said in an email to The Canadian Press.
"Kate - like U.S. first lady Michelle Obama, I believe - wants to be taken seriously as a modern woman, not just a fashion plate."
Kate changed her look for the night-time Canada Day concert on the Hill. She wore her signature tresses pinned up and appeared in a purple V-neck dress by British-based designer Issa.
The label appears to be one favoured by the dutchess - it also designed the blue dress she wore for her engagement announcement and the black and white bird dress she recycled at a youth event at Rideau Hall Thursday night.
Kate accessorised her Friday night look with the same diamond Maple Leaf brooch she had worn earlier in the day, drop earrings and black pumps.

We Love Golf, the upcoming game from Camelot and Capcom, attempts to balance an easy-to-pick-up-and-play game with a technical sports game that rewards players who get out on the course and practice more than the other guys. The game takes a combination of traditional three-button-press golf-swing mechanics and the Wii motion controls, which means you'll need to play with precise timing and a smooth swing if you're planning to hit those greens. Also, they've added a couple of new playable characters and Wi-Fi support for the North American version of the game, making this the first Wii golfer with online matches.
Our first time out on the links, our swing was a little rusty. With a few practice swings (which you can do by holding B during the swing), we found the key is a steady backswing, followed by a pause at just the right moment before the follow-through. How far back you pull the virtual club, and (unlike most golf games) how much muscle you put into the swing, determine the power of your shot. We saw one golf ball spurt out a little fireball tail after a perfect swing, and on the next hole, our perfect shot gave the ball a couple cool space rings during its flight - each golfer has their own out-of-the-ordinary flair for a really good shot. The fire and space rings are just for fun, though, and underneath them is a realistic golf simulator (minus the walking part).
The swing mechanic also uses a meter at the bottom of the screen. When you start your swing, a Wii remote icon moves along the gauge and shows you just when you should stop the backswing and hit the ball. For real golfers, the swing should still feel natural; if you've played Wii Sports golf, you should have an excellent idea of what to expect.
There are ten golfers that you can play with (not including your Mii). Four are unlocked to begin with, and more become available as you defeat them in Character Matches. They each have eight outfits, including one Capcom-themed set of golf attire, so if you've ever wanted to play golf as Chun-Li or Apollo Justice (lawyers are usually good golfers), you can - as soon as you unlock the costumes, anyway. Along with unique country club clothing and fire-tail golf shots, each character has his or her own range of emotional reactions. Sinking a 50-foot putt or slicing a ball into the drink will have your golfer pumping his fist or dropping the club in frustration. Even when using a Mii, the facial expression will change (it goes from happy smiley face to sad, squiggly line face).

Michael Silverman reports today that after having requested a trade a number of times, Manny Ramirez is now "at peace" with Boston and would like to play the rest of his career here. The episode Silverman relates at the end would've been priceless to see. Bill Burt wonders why we still sweat the small stuff when it comes to Manny.
Steve Buckley says Manny is lying.
And Buck, I'm pretty sure no one has ever said Manny is "blame-free" as you claim towards the end of your column. Nice strawman. Even Manny's biggest fans are well aware of his shortcomings.

Richmond to defend USL-2 title against Harrisburg
Both USL Second Division Semifinals needed overtime to decide the participants for next Saturday's championship match as the Harrisburg City Islanders registered a 1-0 upset in Cleveland and the defending champion Richmond Kickers outlasted the Charlotte Eagles 3-2 to return to the final.
In a rematch of last year's final, the Kickers got on the board early on a 14th minute strike from Matt Watson after an initial shot from Mike Burke was stopped by goalkeeper Terry Boss.
The regular season champion Kickers held the advantage for the remainder of the match and looked to be headed toward a second straight final when veteran Jacob Coggins found the back of the net three minutes from time for the Eagles, forcing extra time.
The stalemate continued for much of the overtime until a corner kick play in the 110th minute netted the deciding goal for Richmond. Sascha Görres took a short corner to the near post for Ricky Schramm ,who played it back to Görres. Beating two defenders, he hammered the ball across the crowded goalmouth. Nowaf Jaman was able to get a piece of the ball, flicking it over the Eagles goalkeeper and breaking the plane, despite the efforts of defenders positioned inside the goal.
In the other semifinal, the third-seeded City Islanders handed the expansion Cleveland City Stars just their second loss of the year after finishing the regular season 10-1-9.
It was a defensive battle throughout the 120 minutes for two of the top three teams in the league in defense. Cleveland finished first with 14 goals allowed on the year while Harrisburg tied for second with Richmond at 15.
It would not be until the 106th minute of play that Steve Fisher would find a way past the league's top netminder in goals against average, beating Hunter Gilstrap on a glancing header off a Brian Devlin free kick.
USL First Division
Four teams clinched playoff berths on the week. The Portland Timbers, who tied for last in the league last season, were the first to guarantee a postseason spot with a 2-2 draw at Minnesota on Thursday. Carolina's 0-0 draw against Atlanta and Miami's 1-0 loss in Puerto Rico Friday put their northwest rival Seattle in the playoffs.
On Saturday, Rochester's 1-0 victory at Minnesota put the Rhinos back in championship contention again and also clinched a playoff spot for their rival Montreal, who would go on later that night to post a 2-0 win in Vancouver.
Also on Saturday night, Seattle edged California 1-0 to move into first. In a pair of other games on the week involving teams chasing for playoff spots, Carolina blasted Charleston 3-0 on three goals from Connally Edozien Tuesday and Puerto Rico, on three strikes from Willie Sims, downed Miami 3-2 on Sunday.

Unofficial IBM ThinkPad Transnote support website
I first read about IBM Transnote when it was released in 2001. The price tag back then was MERELY $3000. Although it was way over my budget for a laptop, as a geek and at the time there were no tablet PCs available, I knew I must get my hands on this piece of technology. It was not long before this laptop fall to an affordable price tag- $800 on TigerDirect (No longer available). Some say that it was way ahead of its time, others blame it's lacks of good handwriting recognition. The good news is, I can finally ditch my PII233 laptop and buy myself a brand new IBM Transnote.
From $3000 to $800, IBM also realized it is not worth the trouble supporting this machine. You have to do quite some search to find Transnote on IBM website and many links lead to dead pages. As an user, I started to worry what to do if anything were to happen to my IBM Transnote, especially once the warranty expires. Many thanks to " homeandoffice " who created www.transnote.com. This is a yahoo based discussion group. I was able to find answers to most of my questions and files to keep the IBM Transnote running.
After 2yr of using my IBM Transnote, I learned a lot from reading, searching, and testing. I have my IBM Transnote fully functional under WindowsXP with wireless CF network card and 320MB of RAM. The main reason this site is created is because I feel the need of a larger and more organized file sharing location. And arrange the information in the discussion group so it is easier to find. Most of all, I really like my IBM Transnote and I think you will too!

Dental Woes Linked to Cancer Risk
The health of your teeth and gums may have a bigger impact on your health than you think, according to a study that found an association between dental health and cancer mortality.
In a study published in BMJ Open, Swedish researchers followed 1,400 adults for 24 years, examining the participants for dental plaque buildup, tartar, gum disease and tooth loss. Subjects were also surveyed about smoking habits and other cancer risk factors. The findings indicate that people with high amounts of dental plaque were 79 percent more likely to die prematurely, from cancer, even after controlling for other risk factors. Although the study did not examine the cause for the association, experts suggest it may be related to the presence of plaque-causing bacteria, which may contribute to underlying inflammation.
"The oral environment contains both essential microorganisms and pathogenic microorganisms," says Maureen Sullivan, DDS, Chief, Department of Dentistry & Maxillofacial Prosthetics. "The next crucial step is to identify and evaluate the role pathogenic oral microorganisms may play in causing cancer, work that our team at RPCI is currently investigating."
Money Worries Part of Cancer Burden
Four out of five cancer patients and their spouse-caregivers report they suffer stress and worry about finances relating to their cancer treatment and these worries were tied to poorer physical and mental health, according to findings presented at a recent meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO).
As stress about finances persisted, anxiety and depression rose and quality of life, and physical and mental health declined. Facing "unexpected costs" was particularly troubling. Participants identified a range of concerns, big and small, including:
- Parking and hotel accommodations
- Transportation to appointments, gas and mileage
- Insurance coverage, or lack thereof
- Losing job or ability to work
- Bankruptcy
- Providing for loved ones after death
"Our Psychosocial Oncology Team can offer support and guidance," says Rosa A. Scrivani, LCSW-R, Psychosocial Oncology Director (formerly of Roswell Park). "We can link patients and their families to community services and our clinical social workers and medical psychologists are devoted to addressing the social, environmental, and emotional impact of cancer." To learn more about our services and programs, contact the Psychosocial Oncology Department at 716-845-8022.

The Latest Research Accelerated by Your Gifts
Thanks to generous donations to Roswell Park in 2011, 22 new, promising research programs were recently awarded grants to ensure our scientists can continue pursuing new ways of fighting cancer. Here are just a few examples of the recently funded research:
- Using vitamin D in combination with a common cancer drug known as erlotinib to fight lung cancer;
- Determining if the presence of certain genetic pathways can make cancer cells more resistant to therapy, and if 'turning off' those gene signals can make cancer cells more susceptible to treatment;
- Studying how the immune system's power can be used to more effectively destroy ovarian cancer cells;
- And exploring why certain hormone receptors and genetic pathways may make breast cancer cells resistant to treatment, and how to overcome that resistance.
On behalf of every scientist at Roswell Park, thank you for your generous support and dedication to our mission to understand, prevent and cure cancer.

While rumors were going around that Acer would be launching devices powered by Google's Chrome OS at Computex, now a different claim has surfaced, possibly rebutting the previous claims. Word is that Acer will be having an event on May 25th, but neither this event, nor Computex will showcase any Acer device that uses Google's Chrome OS. With Chrome OS to be officially released in the second half of 2010, it's possible that Google and Acer need a little more time to polish things up before it goes into mass production. We wouldn't mind waiting a little longer as long as the end product is something cool, right?
