CBS-- Snapchat has all these filters. Some are silly, some scary, but it all is just for fun, right? But advertisers figured out, if you're used to doing this, it's not a stretch for you to try their products on and for them to make money.
For example, users who click on a Michael Kors ad can use the phone's camera to superimpose sunglasses on their face, and see what different colors would look like. The same can be done with virtual lipstick on a Sephora ad and all of it can be shared on your Facebook page.
CNet's Scott Stein says that makes it even more attractive to advertisers.
"In a lot of these things where you're trying on sunglasses or changing the way you look you can also could be taking photos and sharing that which means you're transmitting the ad yourself."
Augmented reality has been used in video games and products that blend the real and digital worlds. Now retailers are capitalizing on the technology.
From visualizing the inside of an RV to the Lowe's app that lets you see what a grill would look like in your backyard.
"You're going to see a lot more of it because the biggest players in the game not just Facebook but also google and apple are investing a lot of money and a lot of time to put augmented reality across the entire phone eco-system.”

Luke 19:29 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, 24:50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. John 11:1 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. 18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off: 12:1 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.

Groundbreaking Held for The Sound at Gateway Commons
East Lyme, CT – June 27, 2014 – Gateway Development/East Lyme, LLC, a joint venture between affiliates of KGI Properties of Providence, RI and The Simon Konover Company (TSKC) of West Hartford, Connecticut, hosted a groundbreaking event to celebrate the residential phase of the Gateway Commons Development.
Construction of The Sound Luxury Apartments at Gateway Commons began several months ago. The event, which was held June 25, 2014 at the East Society Road site, celebrated the groundbreaking of the community clubhouse, a central feature of the residential community.
“We are extremely excited to introduce The Sound, and all its unique luxury features, to the East Lyme community,” said Richard Bornstein, Chief Executive Officer of The Koffler Group, the parent company of KGI. “We look forward to continued collaboration with local leaders and community members as we bring the Gateway Commons vision to reality.”
Representatives of the Town of East Lyme, KGI, TSKC and other professionals involved in the project came out to support the long anticipated project.
“Located at the gateway to the Mystic Country Coast, this is a terrific project that has been a long time coming,” said Paul Formica, First Selectman of East Lyme. “This new development will help to improve our economy, create new quality housing opportunities, and improve our grand list.”
Gateway Commons has been a focus of the Simon Konover/KGI team for nearly a decade. The Gateway Planned Development District (GPDD), as approved in 2008, envisioned a mix of residential and commercial uses on the 200 acre property. The Town of East Lyme approved the site plan for the first phase of residential development in 2013. The initial phase, which is now under construction, will feature 280 luxury apartments in ten (10) buildings, and a private clubhouse with heated outdoor pool.
“This groundbreaking ceremony celebrates a significant milestone in this longstanding project,” stated James Wakim, President and Chief Operating Officer of The Simon Konover Company. “Our new community is designed to appeal to the growing demand for new, high quality, multifamily rental communities.”
The first 100 residential units will be ready for occupancy later this year. The initial phase will be fully complete in approximately 16-18 months and will include improvements to East Society Road. Konover Residential Corporation is managing the residential community and may be contacted through the community website at www.TheSoundatGatewayCommons.com. Planning continues for the retail phase of the development, which will be located adjacent to exit 74 off Interstate 95.

A woman left her life behind in the UK and moved to Benidorm - after a chance meeting on a last-minute girls' holiday.
The woman, from Merseyside, upped sticks and moved 1,500 miles away to the popular holiday hotspot.
Andrea Higgins was aged 30 in 2009 when she met the "love of her life" in the destination.
She met Daniel Eccles, with whom she now has a son, on the second day of a long weekend away.
The holiday romance blossomed into a relationship that would shape the rest of her life, the Liverpool Echo reports.
Andrea, a former John Lewis worker, has started a new career as a teacher a decade on.
Her mum has even moved over from Liverpool to start a new life in Alicante.
Andrea said: “I love it, I love everything about it.
“At first when I came over, I’d heard bad things like ‘it’s like Blackpool in the sun’ and it’s just full of stags and hens.
“But it’s not, it’s full of so many beautiful places surrounding it... the bars are just a small part of Benidorm.”
Andrea and Daniel first had a long distance relationship, for around a year, where they would plan to see each other every other weekend.
Andrea said: “Flights these days are cheaper than getting a train down South, so it was fine but then we made the decision that we wanted kids and that the best place to bring up a child would be in Benidorm.
“Then everything just seemed to fall into place, I had always wanted to go into teaching, and I found a course and got a job in a school.
“Now, looking back, it has been the best decision ever.”
Daniel moved over to Benidorm when he was just 10 years old with his whole family, from Blackpool.
He now runs an estate agents called Activanza while Andrea teaches Maths and Biology in Elian’s British School in La Nucia with her mum who is a teaching assistant.
Mum to three-year-old Luca, Andrea, said she can’t imagine bringing him up anywhere else now: “I do love Liverpool and it’s not that I would never go back but I love the life that I’ve got here now.
“I’ve got Luca and the lifestyle here I just love it.
"We’ve got the park, and the beach, and the waterfalls and he goes to the pool everyday.
“The weather as well, obviously you can’t fault it, I just think how lucky he is to just be able to go in the swimming pool everyday for example.”

The best way to find out how people think about certain things is to talk to them, and listen. That may seem self-evident, especially when coming from a journalist, but it’s not. One of the casualties of the technology race to social media is the ability to read someone’s presentation of themselves and believe you now know their perspective. You don’t. Skimming a Twitter feed or Facebook page gives you nothing more than a snapshot of a moment in that person’s life. If you want to better understand a person’s perspective, you need to connect in a different way.
I don’t want to move, it ain’t about moving. It’s about change—trying to change it, so I won’t be a drive-by incident.
Cleveland has been mentioned among cities like Ferguson, Baltimore, and New York, in the national soul-searching over police-community relations. Heated debates and efforts toward police reform have been spurred by cases like the police shooting of 12-year-old Tamir Rice who had a pellet gun; the death in police custody of Tanisha Anderson who was suffering from mental illness; and the verdict of Patrolman Michael Brelo for firing the final 15 of 137 shots fired by police at a car after a high-speed chase; among others.
The Department of Justice, separately, found Cleveland police in the past to have exhibited a pattern or practice of excessive use of force, leading to a consent decree dictating reforms. The mayor has mentioned that the Division of Police was already modifying its procedures before the agreement, so the process will now have added elements and oversight.
Cleveland had seen a number of protests, legal actions, rallies, funerals, and memorials in the wake of the cases mentioned above, and many that I didn’t mention. By-and-large the gatherings were always peaceful–emotional and passionate, but largely peaceful. Local and state officials had launched various listening tours to talk to the public about community-police relations, which also drew passionate testimony, but I didn’t feel satisfied as a journalist. I had heard many soundbites, but I hadn’t often been able to listen to various stakeholders at-length. I began to wonder if there was a way to speak about many of the cases, issues, concerns, hopes, and fears that Clevelanders were feeling, while still giving a space to explore some of those issues more deeply than to which we’re accustomed.
This is how the Our Land series was born: through a desire to listen longer to more people, all kinds of people, about their views on Cleveland’s police, neighborhoods, and future.
In any project you need to narrow your focus, and that’s what I did with my editors. Our public radio DNA naturally pushes us toward bigger picture projects, with a community service focus. Because interviews about police can go in so many directions–and they did–it was important to have a common starting point for each interview. We settled on two questions: what should ‘community policing’ look like in your view, and how far are we from that ideal?
As the series took off, starting in the Cudell neighborhood where Tamir Rice was shot, continuing to the police commander who oversees community policing, and ending up in a public housing development with many, many perspectives, the project was clearly no longer just about community policing. From the very first interviews, I heard concerns about community-police relations, sure, but also about neighborhood cohesion, economic development, gangs, perceptions of an ineffectual political process, and more. A perceived uptick in violent crime, including a string of shootings which led to the deaths of a number of children, all influenced the series’ tone.
Cleveland is sometimes called “The Land” or various nicknames playing off “land,” like “Believeland.” So in naming the series I wanted to emphasize a sense of community, first and foremost. There are many opinions, many perspectives, but Clevelanders are all stakeholders in the future of Cleveland–our land.
The series included video elements, occupied an episode of The Sound of Ideas call-in show, and connected the views of many kinds of Clevelanders with each other. I might hear one thing from a writer, and pose the question to a police commander, or ask a local pastor to comment on it all. And throughout the process the conversations were authentic, respectful, and I believe incredibly relevant and valuable.
In my work as a journalist I’ve found ‘listening’ to be one of the most powerful tools in my toolbox. Some journalists think they need to perfect the art of interrogation and accusatory questioning to gather powerful news material. Those skills have a place.
But so many people I have encountered in various states of distress, or joy, or business, or whatever, just want to be listened to, understood, and have their perspective fairly and accurately conveyed. It may sound like a given, but it’s not as present in modern journalism as it should be. The times we are in with respect to the issue of community-police relations and many others, demand that we up our games. As journalists we need to strive toward careful reporting and authentic depictions of our communities today. And as readers, listeners, and viewers, we must demand higher quality journalism.
We cannot have a dialogue if we instantly turn-off or tune-out views that oppose ours. I hope this series accomplishes at least that–that you don’t want to tune out if you hear something you don’t like. Maybe you want to keep listening, to better understand where that person is coming from. And maybe with that understanding, the path forward might be even a tiny bit easier.
Update 12/25/14: I checked in recently with one of the former gang members we spoke to on The Sound of Ideas program in July. He told me things have been tough for him, and it’s hard to thrive given his difficult past. I produced an audio postcard with his thoughts:
In recent weeks I have shifted my attention to Cleveland’s gang problems. Especially the television news people have focused on one gang in particular, the “Heartless Felons.” It is true that this gang has large numbers in the Ohio prison system, and they have drawn the attention of the county prosecutor’s office.
But I wanted to hear how bad the situation was, really. In searching for information about the gang, I stumbled upon a rapper who says he is affiliated with them. And that opened my reporting up to a niche research area: gangs and social media.
His material is full of Heartless Felons imagery, signs, calls, locations. He is from a county housing project at Cedar and 30th, and he describes presumed drug activity on nearby 28th.
Ideastream is uniquely equipped to cover a story from multiple angles, and as I looked more and more into gangs, it was clear there was enough to talk about to broaden the conversation to longer-form. Our talk show, The Sound of Ideas, embraced this, and host Mike McIntyre used my reporting as a starting point for a candid discussion with an activist, professor, and three former Cleveland gang members.
Later in the day, I continued our look at gang issues with an interview with another former gang member, who eventually joined the Boys and Girls Club as a mentor.
As a kid I thought being a part of the King Kennedy Gang…was the only thing I could do. If I’m a part of King Kennedy that means I’m wanted, I’m loved, I’m able to make money, I’m able to do anything. But not knowing that if it was a case that I passed away, or was killed, would those guys be there to take care of my mom? My brothers and sisters? No.
At the end of 2014, the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office filed a 299-count indictment against suspected members of a street gang aged 13-34. In announcing the indictment, the prosecutor said social media played a key part in the gang’s propaganda strategy. This announcement came after my first reporting on gangs and social media, but seemed to illustrate what my sources had been talking about.
I’m incredibly proud that we could look at this issue in a comprehensive way, and while the reporting can never cover absolutely everything, I feel like our contributions helped further the dialogue.
This kind of treatment of important topics is where public media excels, and must continue to excel.

Ezekiel 40-41, 1 John 1
God is light. In Him is no darkness at all and he is just and righteous. Yet he is also faithful to forgive any who come to confess and trust in the Lord Jesus’s righteousness. That the holy God is also ready to forgive in perfect righteousness is astounding.
7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.”
What an amazing promise for those who love the Lord and look to Him for salvation!!

Apple may finally address an odd design quirk on iPhone 14
The rumor: iPhone 13 models have a strange design inconsistency…but that could be changing on iPhone 14, as noticed by render artist Ian Zelbo..
- There is a quirk with the iPhone 13 Pro design: the radius of the phone’s corners do not match the radius of the camera bump (obviously, an odd decision for a company like Apple, who is known for their cohesiveness)
- As seen in various iPhone 14 Pro CADs and schematics that have leaked, Apple has rounded the corners of the iPhone 14 Pro significantly, finally addressing the odd look on the iPhone 13 Pro
- In addition as the corners being more rounded, the corners of the screen are also far more curved
- According to CADs, the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max will not be getting the rounder corners…mostly likely because the camera module is far smaller, making it unnecessary
- Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro is rumored to have an upgraded camera setup, and if Apple kept the same radius from the iPhone 13 Pro, it would result in a very uneven looking device
Ian’s Take: Finally! As soon as the iPhone 13 Pro came out, I noticed the uneven radius of the camera module and the device’s frame. I am not only excited that Apple is addressing this design quirk, but the more rounded design looks fantastic. My insanely detailed renders of the iPhone 14 Pro will release first on the Front Page Tech YouTube channel.

“My Big Fat Greek Wedding” was one of those romcoms I loved watching as a tween. The heroine takes her life by the reins and finds her dream guy. Together, they overcome many hilarious family antics (including an endless supply of Windex and a misunderstood bundt cake) with just the right amount of drama and angst and live happily ever after. I still find myself to this day looking at my bony cat and saying to her “You need to eat — I could snap you like a chicken!”
Looking back on “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” as an adult, I was initially appalled: It seemed like protagonist Toula Portokalos (Nia Vardalos) only found belonging and happiness with Ian Miller (John Corbett) when she got a makeover and switched to white bread in order to fit in with the white-bred girls (trading up the moussaka she was teased for as a child). But upon further reflection, I realized that she didn’t give up anything that had been meaningful to her or brought her happiness: She found what balance worked for her as she straddled the world of her family’s heritage and the American society within which she grew up.
As someone who was once an Orthodox Jew and now is decidedly not, Toula’s balance of tradition versus assimilation speaks to me on a deep level. Toula and Ian’s relationship, too, is deeply relatable to any of us who have had interfaith relationships or come from interfaith backgrounds.
For me, the analogy runs deep: On many levels, Toula’s journey as she seeks this balance in her life parallels my own. In the movie, Toula grows up feeling out of place as a girl from a minority, surrounded by the Anglo majority. Rather than feeling proud of her heritage and Greek culture, she feels a sense of shame. But at home, within her own family’s culture, she feels trapped and limited by family and cultural expectations. This is deeply relatable to any Jew who has struggled balancing a differently-Jewish home life, American culture and their own personal identity.
I’ve experienced this struggle between my own Jewishness and majority American culture throughout my life as well — though it should be noted that I still have a lot of privilege as a white femme-presenting nonbinary person. My family began pursuing our Jewish heritage when I was a tween. Stepping into Judaism and stepping out as a Jew in Southern Georgia was basically like being the star of a misfit version of “Where’s Waldo,” in which the objective is to find the one that does not belong. When we moved to Atlanta to live in an actual Jewish community, I didn’t suddenly feel like I’d finally found my place of belonging. On the contrary, I felt like an extraterrestrial at my Jewish Orthodox girls’ high school, where no one had as much exposure to secular American culture as I did, and I didn’t have nearly as much Jewish exposure as they did. It felt like in every space I moved through, whether Jewish or not-Jewish, I was perpetually doomed to be an outsider, straddling a gap between two very different worlds.
Later, once I left Orthodoxy, I found myself distancing myself from my Jewish identity altogether. I felt ambivalent toward Jewishness in any aspect, which created within me a deep sense of shame. I strove to bury my Jewishness as much as possible, seeking refuge in a “basic white girl” facade. (Again, there is a lot of privilege in this that cannot be ignored.) But I also initially felt shame around American culture, too, like when I felt secretive and guilty about bringing a Christmas tree into my living room for the first time since I left the Orthodox world.
All this led me to begin a relationship with someone who ended up being antisemitic. My judgement was so clouded by my own sense of shame that I didn’t even realize it at first. It really wasn’t until numerous months into the relationship, especially once I met his family, that it began to dawn on me. Sometimes it was subtle, like my boyfriend scoffing at a mutual friend’s Passover seder he had attended (without inviting me, by the way), or his family treating me like I was “exotic” (the irony doesn’t escape me). But it became more blatant as time wore on, such as how when we’d talk about our future together, my boyfriend would make it clear that our future kids could not visit my adult siblings during Jewish holidays and that we could never celebrate with them, or how his parents told me that after hosting a mutual friend’s Orthodox-ish family on a weekend trip, the rule was “no more kosher Jews” in their vacation house.
The thing I had missed out on growing up was how many different Jewish spaces exist, in every size, shape, and color. There are not just a few distinct options in the world of Jewry; Jewishness is a rainbow spectrum of diversity in every regard. No one should feel that they must stay in a Jewish space or identity that isn’t a good fit for them. Finding my niche through the progressive and radically inclusive synagogue where I began working created the space for me to find the balance between my identities.
In “My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” Toula ends up getting married to the man of her dreams. He embraces her full identity, even the parts that previously embarrassed her, like her zany Greek family. He shows that he is willing to support the balance of identity that works best for her. In my story, my boyfriend and I mutually broke up after realizing our lives were going in completely different directions and we couldn’t each support the person that the other needed to become. For me, part of that healing was coming to terms with identity — not the identities foisted on me by American culture and Jewish culture respectively, but my own American Jewish identity. In my story, my big fat Jewish break-up (or maybe it was a breakthrough?) was just as much of a happy ending as Toula’s marriage. From there, I could finally explore what my own equivalents of white bread and moussaka were, and how I wanted to mix and match them within my Jewish and American identities.
I have crafted my own Jewish identity, and it makes some people uncomfortable, suspicious, or awkward, but it doesn’t bother me as much anymore: I have a better sense of who I am, and it gives me the confidence to show up and brush off any awkwardness or closed-mindedness I encounter. I’m a multidimensional being — we all are. We do ourselves and each other a grave injustice when we expect everyone to fit within a strictly one-dimensional box.
The movie ends with Toula’s young daughter on her way to Greek school, complaining because she wants to go to Brownie Scouts instead. Toula responds warmly, “I know, I know, but I promise you this — you can marry anyone you want.” After finding more confidence in my identity, I parent much the same. I want my own child (who also complains about going to Jewish Sunday school every weekend) to grow up with the sense of balanced identity I’ve had to fight for so long to find. My personal motto around my American Jewish identity that I carry with me into every interaction these days (as a parent, as a Jewish educator, as an individual) is this: No matter what, YOU get to decide what being Jewish means to YOU. No one gets to choose for you. I hope that by claiming this space for myself, I am helping to hold space open for others to do the same.
Late Take is a series on Alma where we revisit Jewish pop culture of the past for no reason, other than the fact that we can’t stop thinking about it?? If you have a pitch for this column, please e-mail email@example.com with “Late Take” in the subject line.

Well I didn't make those strawberry cupcakes, like I said I would over the weekend, after all.
I was all set on doing them until my sister Maggie came over and we started looking up Donna Hay's other recipes on her site.
We saw PAVLOVA Cupcakes and HAD to make them- immediately.I have a confession.I have a Pavlova obsession.
So we got out the Martha Stewart cupcake holders from Michael's, grabbed the fresh eggs and went to it.
I improvised a bit- I did not have passion fruit- but I did have strawberries so strawberry sauce it was.
They don't look all that great- but they were fantastic- the cake tasted very much like Kentucky Butter Cake and the meringue was amazing.
One thing for all you Americans- she say 320F but don't listen- use 350F instead.
And I can't forget the three poochies- who , just like my children , love to lick the bowl...
From Donna Hay
* 125g butter, softened
* ⅔ cups (150g) caster (superfine) sugar
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 2 eggs
* 1 cup (150g) self-raising (self-rising) flour
* ½ cup (125ml) milk
* icing (confectioner's) sugar, for dusting
* 2 eggwhites
* ½ cup (110g) caster (superfine) sugar
* ½ teaspoon white vinegar
* ¼ cup (60ml) passionfruit pulp*
* ¼ cup (55g) caster (superfine) sugar
* ¼ cup (60ml) water
Preheat oven to 160°C (320ºF-DONT do 350 instead).
I replaced strawberries for the passionfruit...
To make the passionfruit syrup, place the passionfruit pulp, sugar and water in a small saucepan over low heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Bring to the boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 6–8 minutes or until thickened. Set aside.
To make the meringue, place the eggwhites in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the sugar and vinegar and beat until the mixture is thick and glossy. Set aside.
Place the butter, sugar and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat until light and creamy. Gradually add the eggs and beat well. Sift over the flour and beat until combined. Stir in the milk. Spoon the mixture into a 12 x ½ cup-capacity muffin tin lined with cupcake papers. Top with a tablespoon of meringue mixture and bake for 15 minutes or until cooked when tested with a skewer. Allow to cool.
To make the passionfruit syrup, . Spoon over the cupcakes to serve. Makes 12.
* When buying passionfruit, look for small fruit with deep purple skin which is quite leathery and wrinkled. This indicates ripeness. Panama passionfruit, which are slightly larger and have a less tart flavour than the regular variety, do not have wrinkled skin when ripe. Choose panama passionfruit which feel heavy for their size. You will need about 3 passionfruit for ¼ cup pulp or you can buy canned passionfruit pulp from supermarkets.

We introduce a data reduction package written in Interactive Data Language (IDL) for the Magellan Echellete Spectrograph (MAGE). MAGE is a medium-resolution (R ~4100), cross-dispersed, optical spectrograph, with coverage from ~3000-10000 Angstroms. The MAGE Spectral Extractor (MASE) incorporates the entire image reduction and calibration process, including bias subtraction, flat fielding, wavelength calibration, sky subtraction, object extraction and flux calibration of point sources. We include examples of the user interface and reduced spectra. We show that the wavelength calibration is sufficient to achieve ~5 km/s RMS accuracy and relative flux calibrations better than 10%. A light-weight version of the full reduction pipeline has been included for real-time source extraction and signal-to-noise estimation at the telescope.

Can sushi be made from any fish?
You can’t use just any raw fish — look for sushi- or sashimi-grade fish. You may have to check out Japanese markets or ask at a local sushi bar. Regular fish is not handled with the intention of raw preparation, so it is likely to contain bacteria and parasites that can only be removed by cooking.
What raw fish is in sushi?
Typically, sashimi is some type of salmon or tuna. Other popular types of sashimi are mackerel, yellowtail, shrimp, scallops, clams and octopus. Translated, sashimi means “pierced fish.”
Where can I find sushi fish?
Sushifish is an Endemic Life creature in Monster Hunter World (MHW). You can find Sushifish in:
- Ancient Forest, sector 1, 4, 11.
- Wildspire Waste, sector 1, 6, 10.
- Coral Highlands sector 1, 7, 11.
- Rotten Vale, sector 9.
- Elder’s Recess, sector 8 in the Eastern Camp.
- Hoarfrost Reach, sector?
- The Guiding Lands, sector 10.
Do you need special fish for sushi?
Although stores use the label “sushi grade fish,” there are no official standards for using this label. The only regulation is that parasitic fish, such as salmon, should be frozen to kill any parasites before being consumed raw. The best ones are assigned Grade 1, which is usually what will be sold as sushi grade.
What fish can’t you eat raw?
Blue marlin, mackerel, sea bass, swordfish, tuna and yellowtail are high in mercury, so limit your consumption of these high-mercury raw fish, since mercury in high amounts can affect your nervous system function.
Is it safe to eat raw fish in sushi?
Many people are put off by the thought of eating raw fish and other types of sushi. However, raw meat and fish are perfectly safe to eat if they are prepared correctly and handled with care. After all, people have eaten sushi for centuries, and millions around the globe still eat it daily without getting sick.
Can you use frozen fish for sushi?
It may sound strange to eat fish that’s been frozen raw, but most sushi restaurants use fish that has arrived heavily iced. The good news is though, providing it’s of good quality, fish that’s been frozen can still taste great. There’s another benefit to using frozen fish when making your own sushi, and that is cost.
Can you use Walmart fish for sushi?
Yes. Some raw fish from higher-end grocery stores can be eaten raw. Look for the best, freshest fish and ask the fishmonger which is freshest. You may also see fish labeled as “sushi grade,” “sashimi grade,” or “for raw consumption.”
What freshwater fish can you eat raw?
Salmon is a fresh water fish that is regularly used for sushi, however it needs to go through extra preparation. Typically it needs to be frozen at -31F for seven days to kill whatever parasites are in there. Freshwater fish as long as they are caught in clean water are totally fine to eat raw.
Is all sushi frozen?
Not all sushi restaurants freeze their fish. They actually freeze very little. Salmon is always frozen to control the risk of parasites, and tuna is usually previously frozen because fishermen freeze it when out at sea. But the rest, he says, is generally served fresh.
What tuna is used for sushi?
In Japan, yellowfin tuna are the most commonly found tuna and are served widely in many casual sushi spots. There’s a good chance that any menu item marked as “tuna” and offered either seared, blackened, marinated or cooked at a restaurant is of this type.

Few countries have such a compelling and stirring history as Ireland. This sumptuously illustrated volume captures all the color of the Emerald Isle, from the earliest prehistoric communities, through centuries of turbulent change and creativity, to the present day. Written by an expert team of scholars--all of whom are Native to Ireland--this book offers the most authoritative account of Irish history yet published for the general reader.
Unlike most single-volume histories, this book emphasizes the paradoxes and ambiguities of Irish history, presenting a more realistic picture. It also examines more familiar themes, such as the shifting patterns of settlement and colonization, the recurrent religious strife, and the establishment of new political entities. And in a special section, it investigates the interaction between Irish history and literature, demonstrating how the importance of language to everyday Irish life has engendered a body of fiction that is virtually a history of Ireland itself.
With over two hundred photographs, a variety of helpful maps, and many beautiful color plates, this history brings to life the conflicts, settlements, and traditions that constitute Irish history, making it wide-ranging and highly readable for anyone fascinated by this colorful island nation.

The technology and comfort is there, so how bout the design? With the midfoot stabilizer and sleek toe-cap, the Alpha Trunner Max will have you looking in top shape in either of the two colorways. Check out the extra images below and stay tuned for these to hit Jordan Brand retailers this coming August.

So, Fake News may have had its ‘Brexit Day’ broadcast date rescheduled thrice, thanks to chaos in Westminster, but you can still feast your ears on the Fake News theme! Composed by the incredible Nick Samuel, an artist and a gentleman. It’s been a 3 year labour of love/ hate (mainly hate). But the wait could be nearly over.
The Mental Ideas Podcast is a weekly podcast in which Miss Adventure’s shady second cousin, twice removed, Sadie Kaye, takes a humorous look at innovative approaches to tackling mental health, performing bold social experiments and discussing the results with an eclectic mix of guests from the worlds of entertainment, film, politics, the arts & charity.

Gruyère AOP and artichoke ravioli
When we speak of ‘ravioli’, we speak of ‘pasta’ and already the accent and the gestures breaking free of any complexes and bringing to mind a friendly and epicurean atmosphere characteristic of our Italian neighbours.
However, ravioli are more than just an identity card; there is a complete ancient history behind them as well. It’s so ancient that we lose track of it around 3,000 BC in China. Ah, yes, pasta wasn’t invented by the Italians, but rather by the Chinese in the beginning of antiquity. We credit Marco Polo as having brought this pasta recipe back from his numerous voyages, but it’s not the case. In fact, the Romans already knew this recipe and had even replaced the rice flour with wheat flour and added eggs.
I will finish this modest presentation by speaking to you of a culinary revelation: the artichoke. What beauty, what a flower, with its aromas and its unique taste! A seasonal product of excellence, native to Ethiopia or North Africa. But be careful not to abuse it: the Romans believed it to be a strong aphrodisiac.
Attention changement nombre de personnes
135 gwhite flour
1 tspwalnut oil
100 ggrated Gruyère d’Alpage AOP
- +garden herbs
- +salt and pepper
1 tspwalnut oil
160 gpeeled figs
- +dried herbs
- Combine the flour, egg and walnut oil in a blender or mixer. Above all, don’t salt the mixture as that renders the dough crunchy. Attention: the more you mix the dough, the better, but it means it will need to be refrigerated longer.
- Place the dough on a plate and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Trim and cut the artichoke hearts into small cubes.
- Blanch them in salted water seasoned with the garden herbs of your choice.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- In order to obtain a smooth purée, blend or mix the above without adding any of the cooking liquid. Set aside.
- Mix the grated Gruyère d’Alpage AOP and the egg yolk (put the egg white aside) with the artichoke purée.
- Adjust the salt, pepper and garden herbs as needed.
- Place in the refrigerator.
- Thinly roll out the dough and brush it with the egg white.
- Spacing them out evenly, place teaspoons of the artichoke mixture on the dough.
- Be sure to do this step properly in order to be sure the dough will stick together well.
- Cover and make sure that the ravioli are closed tightly.
- Cut with a pastry cutter or a knife.
- Plunge into boiling, salted water.
- Drain and lightly oil them to prevent sticking. Keep them warm.
- To create the sauce, heat the 2nd part of the artichoke purée with the peeled figs and whip or blend in the walnut oil.
- Adjust the seasoning as desired.

So how well did you fare with the latest round of Auckland Council property valuations that were released last week? Have you become an instant millionaire on paper? What now? Do you rush out this very minute and go trigger happy crazy in every dazzling store in the mall with a deck of credit cards, buying up large on a multitude of consumer products you didn’t really need yesterday, but feel you can suddenly more afford today? Upgrade the car and boat even? Why not. The house? Even better. Happy days. Or is it? Millionaire suburbs soar Yep OK, house prices have risen since the last round of valuations in 2014 by a ginormous 46% – but that’s not just your house, is it. It’s everyone around you (100 suburbs have now joined the Millionaires Club), so before you get delirious with anticipation on all the stuff you are going to buy for Christmas, let’s bring you back down from the clouds and back into Reality Land. Just because your asset worth has shot up on paper doesn’t mean to say your income has doubled or your bills have reduced. In fact, they may even rise if a rates increase is on the cards for you. People in poorer Auckland suburbs are more likely to be hit by a rates increase as their valuations have risen the most. But if you are thinking about selling up now and relocating elsewhere in Auckland, then you’d better be prepared for a shock when you see what other people are asking for their houses – it’s all the same market. People should remember though, that these new valuations aren’t meant as a price guide, merely a guide for working out rates, so they need to keep their expectations in check direct lenders no credit check.
To be fair, house prices are finally starting to soften due mainly to a tightening of credit criteria from banks – having fallen around 7% now down from their peak. However, with the level of growth Auckland is experiencing (we’re expected to hit around the five million mark in population within a couple of years), and interest rates remaining relatively low, house prices should stay fairly stable for some time to come.
It will be interesting to see over the coming months what impact, if any, the new valuations make on the market.

Also see video: Condoleezza Rice LiedA Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm
The following excerpts come from pages 261-269 of Bamford's 'A Pretext for War' book*:
"Then Bush addressed the sole items on the agenda for his first high level national security meeting. The topics were not terrorism--a subject he barely mentioned during the campaign --or nervousness over China or Russia, but Israel and Iraq. From the very first moment, the Bush foreign policy would focus on three key objectives: get rid of Saddam, end American involvement in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, and rearrange the dominoes in the Middle East. A key to the policy shift would be the concept of pre-emption.
The blueprint for the new Bush policy had actually been drawn up five years earlier by three of his top national security advisors. Soon to be appointed to senior administration positions, they were Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, and David Wurmser. Ironically the plan was orginally intended not for Bush but for another world leader, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
At the time, the three officials were out of government and working for conservative pro-Israel think tanks. Perle and Feith had previously served in high level Pentagon positions during the presidency of Ronald Reagan. In a very unusual move, the former--and future--senior American officials were acting as a sort of American privy council to the new Israeli Prime Minister. The Perle task force to advise Netanyahu was set up by the Jerusalem based Institute for Advanced Stategic and Political Studies, where Wurmser was working. A key part of the plan was to get the United States to pull out of peace negotiations and simply let Israel take care of the Palestinians as it saw fit. "Israel," said the report, "can manage it's own affairs. Such self-reliance will grant Israel greater freedom of action and remove a significant lever of pressure used against it in the past."
But the centerpiece of the recommendations was the removal of Saddam Hussein as the first step in remaking the Middle East into a region friendly, instead of hostile, to Israel. Their plan "A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm," also signaled a radical departure from the peace-oriented policies of former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, who was assassinated by a member of an extreme right-wing Israeli group.
As part of their "grand strategy" they recommended that once Iraq was conquered and Saddam Hussein overthrown, he should be replaced by a puppet leader friendly to Israel. Whoever inherits Iraq, they wrote, dominates the entire Levant strategically. Then they suggested that Syria would be the next country to be invaded. Israel can shape it's strategic environment, they said.
This would be done, they recommended to Netanyahu, by re-establishing the principle of pre-emption and by rolling back it's Arab neighbors. From then on, the principle would be to strike first and expand, a dangerous and provocative change in philosophy. They recommended launching a major unprovoked regional war in the Middle East, attacking Lebanon and Syria and ousting Iraq's Saddam Hussein. Then, to gain the support of the American government and public, a phony pretext would be used as the reason for the original invasion.
The recommendation of Feith, Perle and Wurmser was for Israel to once again invade Lebanon with air strikes. But this time to counter potentially hostile reactions from the American government and public, they suggested using a pretext. They would claim that the purpose of the invasion was to halt Syria's drug-money and counterfeiting infrastructure located there. They were subjects in which Israel had virtually no interest, but they were ones, they said, with which America can sympathize.
Another way to win American support for a pre-emptive war against Syria, they suggested, was by drawing attention to its weapons of mass destruction program. This claim would be that Israel's war was really all about protecting Americans from drugs, counterfeit bills, and WMD--nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons.
It was rather extraordinary for a trio of former, and potentially future, high-ranking American government officials to become advisors to a foreign government. More unsettling still was a fact that they were recommending acts of war in which Americans could be killed, and also ways to masquerade the true purpose of the attacks from the American public.
Once inside Lebanon, Israel could let loose--to begin engaging Hizballah, Syria and Iran, as the principle agents of aggression in Lebanon. Then they would widen the war even further by using proxy forces--Lebanese militia fighters acting on Israel's behalf (as Ariel Sharon had done in the 80's)--to invade Syria from Lebanon. Thus, they noted, they could invade Syria by establishing the precedent that Syrian territory is not immune to attacks emanating from Lebanon by Israeli proxy forces.
As soon as that fighting started, they advised, Israel could begin "striking Syrian military targets in Lebanon, and should that prove insufficient, striking at select targets in Syria proper [emphasis in original]."
The Perle task force even supplied Nentanyahu with some text for a television address, using the suggested pretext to justify the war. Years later, it would closely resemble speeches to justify their own Middle East wars; Iraq would simply replace Syria and the United States would replace Israel:
Negotiations with repressive regimes like Syria's require cautious realism. One cannot sensibly assume the other side's good faith. It is dangerous for Israel to deal naively with a regime murderous of its own people, openly aggressive towards its neighbors, criminally involved with international drug traffickers and counterfeiters, and supportive of the most deadly terrorist organizations.The task force then suggested that Israel open a second front in its expanding war, with a focus on removing Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq--an important Israeli strategic objective in its own right--as a means of foiling Syria's regional ambitions.
For years the killing of Saddam Hussein had been among the highest, and most secret, priorities of the Israeli government. In one stroke it would pay Saddam Hussein back for launching Scud missiles against Israel, killing several people, during the Gulf War. Redrawing the map of the Middle East would also help isolate Syria, Iraq's ally and Israel's archenemy along its northern border. Thus, in the early 1990's, after the US-led war in the Gulf, a small elite team of Israeli commandos was given the order to train in absolute secrecy for an assassination mission to bring down the Baghdad ruler.
The plan, code-named Bramble Bush, was to first kill a close friend of the Iraqi leader outside the country, someone from Hussein's hometown of Tikrit. Then, after learning the date and time of the funeral to be held in the town, a funeral Hussein was certain to attend, they would have time to covertly infiltrate a team of commandos into the country to carry out the assassination. The murder weapons were to be specially modified "smart" missiles that would be fired at Hussein as he stood in a crowd at the funeral.
But, the plan was finally abandoned after five members of the team were accidently killed during a dry run of the operation. Nevertheless, removing Saddam and converting Iraq from threat to ally had long been at the top of Israel's wish list.
Now Perle, Feith, and Wurmser were suggesting something far more daring--not just an assassination but a bloody war that would get rid of Saddam Hussein and also change the face of Syria and Lebanon. Perle felt their "Clean Break" recommendations were so important that he personally hand-carried the report to Netanyahu.
Wisely, Netanyahu rejected the task force' plan. But now, with the election of a receptive George W. Bush, they dusted off their pre-emptive war strategy and began getting ready to put it to use.
The new Bush policy was an aggressive agenda for any president, but especially for someone who had previously shown little interest in international affairs. We're going to correct the imbalances of the previous administration on the Mideast conflict, Bush told his freshly assembled senior national security team in the Situation Room on January 30, 2001. We're going to tilt it back toward Israel. . . .Anybody here ever met Ariel Sharon? Only Colin Powell raised his hand.
Bush was going to reverse the Clinton policy, which was heavily weighted toward bringing the bloody conflict between Israel and the Palestinians to a peaceful conclusion. There would be no more US interference; he would let Sharon resolve the dispute however he saw fit, with little or no regard for the situation of the Palestinians. The policy change was exactly as recommended by the Perle task force's "Clean Break" report.
I'm not going to go by past reputations when it comes to Sharon, Bush told his newly gathered national security team. I'm going to take him at face value. We'll work on a relationship based on how things go. Then he mentioned a trip he had taken with the Republican Jewish Coalition to Israel. We flew over the Palestinian camps. Looked real bad down there, he said with a frown. Then he said it was time to end America's efforts in the region. I don't see much we can do over there at this point, he said.
Colin Powell, Secretary of State for only a few days, was taken by surprise. The idea that such a complex problem, in which America had long been heavily involved, could be simply brushed away with the sweep of a hand made little sense. Fearing Israeli-led aggression, he quickly objected.
He stressed that a pullback by the United States would unleash Sharon and the Israeli army, recalled Paul O'Neill, who had be sworn in as Secretary of the Treasury by Bush only hours before and seated at the table. Powell told Bush, the consequences of that could be be dire, especially for the Palestinians. But Bush just shrugged. Sometimes a show of strength by one side can really clarify things, he said. Powell seemed startled, said O'Neill.
Over the following months, to the concern of Powell, the Bush-Sharon relationship became extremely tight. This is the best administration for Israel since Harry Truman, said Thomas Neuman, executive director of the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs "JINSA" a pro-Israel advocacy group. In an article in the Washington Post titled "Bush and Sharon Nearly Identical on Middle East Policy," Robert G. Kaiser noted the dramatic shift in policy.
For the First time, wrote Kaiser, a US administration and a Likud government in Israel are pursuing nearly identical policies. Earlier US administrations, from Jimmy Carter through Bill Clinton's, held Likud and Sharon at arm's length, distancing the United States from Likud's traditionally tough approach to the Palestinians. Using the Yiddish term for supporters of Sharon's political party to the new relationship between Bush and Sharon, a senior US government official told Kaiser, "The Likudniks are really in charge now."
With America's long struggle to bring peace to the region quickly terminated, George W. Bush could turn his attention to the prime focus of his first National Security Council meeting; ridding Iraq of Saddam Hussein. Condoleezza Rice led off the discussion. But rather than mention anything about threats to the United States or weapons of mass destruction, she noted only that Iraq might be the key to reshaping the entire region. The words were practically lifted from the "Clean Break" report, which had the rather imperial-sounding subtitles: "A New Strategy for Securing the Realm."
Then Rice turned the meeting over to CIA Director George Tenet, who offered a grainy overhead picture of a factory that he said "might" be a plant "that produced either chemical or biological materials for weapons manufacture." There were no missiles or weapons of any kind, just some railroad tracks going to a building; truck activity; and a water tower--things that can be found in virtually any city in the US. Nor were there any human intelligence or signals intelligence reports. There was no confirming intelligence, Tenet said.
It was little more than a shell game. Other photo and charts showed US air activity over the "no fly-zone," but Tenet offered no more intelligence. Nevertheless, in a matter of minutes the talk switched from a discussion about very speculative intelligence to which targets to begin bombing in Iraq.
By the time the meeting was over, Treasury Secretary O'Neill was convinced that "getting Hussein was now the administration's focus, that much was already clear," But, O'Neill believed, the real destabilizing factor in the Middle East was not Saddam Hussein but the Israeli-Palestinian conflict--the issue Bush had just turned his back on. Ten years after the Gulf War, said O'Neill, "Hussein seemed caged and defanged. Clearly, there were many forces destabilizing the region, which we were now abandoning."
The war summit must also have seemed surreal to Colin Powell, who said little during the meeting and had long believed that Iraq had not posed a threat to the United States. As he would tell German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer just a few weeks later, "What we and other allies have been doing in the region, have succeeded in containing Saddam Hussein and his ambitions. . . .Containment has been a successful policy."
In addition to the "Clean Break" recommendations, David Wurmser only weeks before the NSC meeting had further elaborated on the way the United States might go about launching a pre-emptive war throughout the Middle East. America's and Israel's responses must be regional not local, he said. Israel and the United Staes should adopt a coordinated strategy, to regain the initiative and reverse their region-wide strategic retreat. They should broaden the conflict to strike fatally, not merely disarm, the center of radicalism in the region--the regimes of Damascus, Baghdad, Tehran, Tripoli, and Gaza. That would re-establish the recognition that fighting with either the US or Israel is suicidal. Many in the Middle East will then understand the merits of being an American ally and of making peace with Israel.
In the weeks and months following the NSC meeting, Perle, Feith and Wurmser began taking their places in the Bush administration. Perle became chairman of the reinvigorated and powerful Defence Policy Board, packing it with like-minded neoconservative super-hawks anxious for battle. Feith was appointed to the highest policy position in the Pentagon, Undersecretary of Defense for Policy. And Wurmser moved into a top policy position in the State Department before later becoming Cheney's top Middle East expert.
With the Pentagon now under Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and his deputy, Paul Wolfowitz--both of whom had also long believed that Saddam Hussein should have been toppled during the first Gulf War--the war planners were given free reign. What was needed, however, was a pretext--perhaps a major crisis. Crisis can be opportunities, wrote Wurmser im his paper calling for an American-Israeli pre-emptive war throughout the Middle East.
Seeing little reason, or intelligence justification, for war at the close of the inaugural National Security Council meeting, Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill was perplexed. Who, exactly, was pushing this foreign policy? He wondered to himself. And "why Saddam, why now, and why [was] this central to US interests?"
The following excerpts come from pages 318-322 of Bamford's 'A Pretext for War' book*:
"Hadley and Libby were part of another secret office that had been set up within the White House. Known as the White House Iraq Group (WHIG), it was established in August 2002 by Chief of Staff Andrew H. Card, Jr., at the same time the OSP (Office of Special Plans) was established in Feith's office. Made up of high-level administration officials, its job was to sell the war to the general public, largely through televised addresses and by selectively leaking the intelligence to the media.
In June 2002, a leaked computer disk containing a presentation by chief Bush strategist Karl Rove revealed a White House political plan to use the war as a way to "maintain a positive issue environment." But the real pro-war media blitz was scheduled for the fall and the start of the election season "because from a marketing point of view, you don't introduce new products in August," said Card.
At least once a week they would gather around the blonde conference table downstairs in the Situation Room, the same place the war was born on January 30, 2001, ten days into the Bush presidency. Although real intelligence had improved very little in the intervening nineteen months, the manufacturing of it had increased tremendously. In addition to Hadley and Libby, those frequently attending the WHIG meetings included Karl Rove, Condoleezza Rice, communications gurus Karen Hughes, Mary Matalin and James R. Wilkinson; and legislative liaison Nicholas E. Calio.
In addition to ties between Hussein and 9/11, among the most important products the group was looking to sell as Labor Day 2002 approached were frightening images of mushroom clouds, mobile biological weapons labs, and A-bomb plants, all in the hands of a certified "madman." A key piece of evidence that Hussein was building a nuclear weapon turned out to be the discredited Italian documents purchased on a street corner from a con man.
The WHIG began priming its audience in August when Vice President Cheney, on three occasions, sounded a shrill alarm over Saddam Hussein's nuclear threat. There "is no doubt," he declared, that Saddam Hussein "has weapons of mass destruction." Again and again, he hit the same chord. "What we know now, from various sources, is that he . . . continues to pursue a nuclear weapon." And again: "We do know, with absolute certainty, that he is using his procurement system to acquire the equipment he needs in order to enrich uranium to build a nuclear weapon."
Facing network television cameras, Cheney warned, "We now know that Saddam has resumed his efforts to acquire nuclear weapons. . . . Among other sources, we've gotten this from firsthand testimony from defectors, including Saddam's own son-in-law." The relative was Hussein Kamel, who defected to Jordan in 1995 with a great deal of inside information on Iraq's special weapons programs, which he managed. He was later convinced by Saddam to return to Iraq, but executed by the ruler soon after his arrival.
But what Kamel told his interrogators was the exact opposite of what Cheney was claiming he said. After numerous debriefings by officials from the United States, the UN, and Jordan, he said on August 22, 1995, that Saddam had ended all uranium-enrichment programs at the beginning of the Gulf War in 1991 and never restarted them. He also made clear that "all weapons --biological, chemical, missile, nuclear--were destroyed." Investigators were convinced that Kamel was telling the truth, since he supplied them with a great deal of stolen raw data and was later murdered by his father-in-law as a result. But that was not the story Feith's OSP, Bush's WHIG, or Cheney wanted the American public to hear.
At the same time that Cheney began his media blitz, Ariel Sharon's office in Israel, as if perfectly coordinated, began issuing similar dire warnings concerning Hussein and pressing the Bush administration to go to war with Iraq. Like those from Cheney, pronouncements from Sharon's top aide, Ranaan Gissin, included frightening "evidence" --- equally phony --- of nuclear, as well as biological and chemical, threats.
"As evidence of Iraq's weapons building activities, " said an Associated Press report on the briefing, "Israel points to an order Saddam gave to Iraq's Atomic Energy Commission last week to speed up its work, said Sharon aide Ranaan Gissin. 'Saddam's going to be able to reach a point where these weapons will be operational,' he said. . . . Israeli intelligence officials have gathered evidence that Iraq is speeding up efforts to produce biological and chemical weapons, Gissin said."
It was clear, based on the postwar reviews done in Israel, that Israeli intelligence had no such evidence. Instead, the "evidence" was likely cooked up in Sharon's own Office of Special Plans unit, which was coordinating its activities with the Feith/Wurmser/Shulsky Office of Special Plans. The joint get-Saddam media blitz would also explain the many highly secret visits by the Israeli generals to Feith's office during the summer..
"Israel is urging U.S. officials not to delay a military strike against Iraq's Saddam Hussein, an aide to Prime Minister Ariel Minister said Friday," the AP report continued. " "Any postponement of an attack on Iraq at this stage with serve no purpose,' Gissin told the Associated Press. 'It will only give him [Saddam] more of an opportunity to accelerate his program of weapons of mass destruction.'"
As expected. Sharon's callw as widely publicized and increased pressure on Congress, which often bows to Israel's wishes, to vote in favor of the Bush war resolution. "Israel To U.S.: Don't Delay Iraq Attack," said a CBS News headline. "Israel is urging U.S. officials not to delay a military strike against Iraq's Saddam Hussein, an aide to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said Friday," said the report.
The story also made the news in London, where the Guardian newspaper ran the headline: "Israel Puts Pressure on US to Strike Iraq." It went on, "With foreign policy experts in Washington becoming increasingly critical of the wisdom of a military strike, and European governments showing no willingness to support an attack, the Israeli prime minister, Ariel Sharon, wants to make it clear that he is the US president's most reliable ally."
It was as if the Feith-Wurmser-Perle "Clean Break" plan come full circle. Their plan for Israel to overthrow Saddam Hussein and put a pro-Israel regime in his place had been rejected by former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Now Bush, with Sharon's support, was about to put it into effect.
Across the Atlantic, British Prime Minister Tony Blair also contributed to the war fever by releasing a much-hyped report that reinforced the White House theme that Iraq was an imminent threat not only to the United States but also to Britain. In addition to including a reference to the bogus Iraq-Niger uranium deal, the report -- later dubbed the "doggie dossier"--made another frightening claim. It warned that Iraq could launch a deadly biological or chemical attack with long-range ballistic missiles on British tourists and servicemen in Cyprus with just forty-five minute's notice.
Only after the war would it be publicly revealed that the reference was not to a strategic weapon that could reach Cyprus, but simply to a short-range battlefield weapon that could not come anywhere close to Cyprus. And because all the missiles were disassembled, even to fire on them on the battlefield would take not forty-five minutes but days of assembly and preparation. At least three times prior to the war, Blair was warned by intelligence officials that the report was inaccurate, but he made no public mention of it.. "
