Recent tests of the Shahab-3 Missile, a missile capable of hitting southern Europe, Israel and a host of other nations has been in the news recently. In 2006, when extensive tests of the Shahab were performed by Iran, they mentioned fewer than 50 of the mobile launchers were believed to be in Iran's possession. I'd like to know how many are estimated and a reliable source for that information.

I just got off the phone with a user agent with UPS, after trying to use their voice recognition based customer service program.

It was bar none, the worst experience with one of these telephone bots I have ever experienced. Almost never a functional response or offering, you have to cuss or insult the machine three times before it will connect you with a user agent, and Operator, help me please and a wide variety of other phrases are totally ignored. UPS has lost my business until they can find some way to solve this problem.

My question is, has anyone seen or heard of anything else as bad? To try the system out dial: 1-800-833-9943

I know how to raise and fertilize roses, but how can I breed and register roses of my own efforts. Most roses I can buy or tend to are hybrids and anyone who understands genetics knows that breeding hybrids can be a tricky and stunted endeavor. My real question becomes how can I begin breeding roses that I can call my own and not infringe upon some patent or registration. My final goal is that on my wife and my twentieth wedding anniversary I can give her a bouqet of twenty roses I can call by her name.

As I said before, I know how to raise and care for roses, but I'm looking more for the professional or amateur breeder's experience or knowledge or people who might know how to get involved in that game.

Thanks
