CANADA STOCKS-TSX nears 2-month high as energy shares rally
* Toronto index hits highest level since Nov. 12
* Higher oil prices credited with market rise
* TSX higher for sixth straight session (Adds details and comments)
By Frank Pingue
TORONTO, Jan 6 (Reuters) - Toronto's main stock index shot to its highest level in nearly two months on Tuesday as oil prices rose to a one-month high and helped the resource heavy index add to a recent string of gains.
The index's heavyweight energy sector led with a gain of 3 percent as Israel's incursion into Gaza, coupled with a dispute between Russia and Ukraine over natural gas, heightened concern about supply disruptions and lifted the price of oil to over $50 a barrel.
"Obviously there is support from the commodities," said Paul Taylor, chief investment officer at BMO Harris Investment Management Inc. "(Up) through 50 bucks on oil, and continued conflict in the Middle East will do that."
At 9:55 a.m. (1455 GMT), the S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE was up 112.57 points, or 1.21 percent, at 9,398.08, with seven of its 10 sectors in positive territory.
Earlier, the market had rallied to 9,412.75, its highest level since Nov. 12.
Suncor Energy (SU.TO: Quote) shares, up 8.5 percent at C$29.75, were a key contributor to the market's gain, while shares of Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ.TO: Quote) rose 3 percent to C$56.82.

The Best Pasta Sauce Ever!
Recipe by rickoholic83
This is actually the sauce used in Tyler Florence's "Eggplant Parmesan" recipe. I had extra sauce left over from the dish so I packaged it up and gave it to my best friend as part of her Christmas gift. She said it was, "Fabulous!" and I haven't bought a jarred sauce since!
Top Review by Alskann
This was easy to make, great spicy piquant flavors. Nice and thick. I think it would even make a nice pizza sauce topped with some feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes & artichoke hearts. I was using this as a base for spaghetti sauce and my family prefers their spaghetti sauce on the sweet side (not too much. So I took a couple of carrots, chopped them up in the food processor and added them to the sauce. An old trick I learned 25 years ago from Fred Wix aka the Gabby Gourmet. It adds a subtle sweetness and its good for you. I then added some browned moose meat and sliced mushrooms. Served it over whole-wheat spaghetti topped with freshly grated parmesan. Tossed a salad on the side and we enjoyed a wonderful meal that we will have again. This made quite a bit of sauce and since there were only 3 of us plus my small grandsons we had leftovers. They are in the freezer waiting another delicious meal. I'm giving it all 5 stars because even though I made adaptations for my family, it is still delicious as is. Thanks for posting this delicious recipe. Its a keeper!

To the delight of a gold-and-black-attired crowd of 36,350, the Commodores rode a surprisingly robust running game Saturday evening to cruise to a 45-0 victory in their season opener against its outmanned foe, the Catamounts of Cullowhee, N.C.
Yes, they were feasting against inferior FCS competition in a game that served as a virtual preseason exhibition game for upcoming Southeastern Conference games (in college, of course, these games count in the record). And yes, there were a few negligible kinks that need to be worked out in coming weeks.
But the gaudy numbers on the final stat sheet brought smiles to all Vandy's partisan observers, not to mention head coach Bobby Johnson.
"We were able to take control of the game early," said Johnson. "We had some lulls that we will need to clean up, but this gave us a good chance to run our offense and try different things."
Even with its much-ballyhooed no-huddle offense occasionally sputtering, Vanderbilt rolled up 620 yards of offense, a staggering 433 of it on the ground. With starting tailback Jared Hawkins sidelined with a bad foot, the Commodores unleashed a pair of true freshman tailbacks, Zac Stacy and Warren Norman, who together combined for 240 yards. It was the first time in school history that two freshmen had ever rushed for over 100 yards in the same game.
Stacy's total of 135 yards was a school record for a freshman. Norman, alternating series with Stacy, also went over the century mark with 105. Even Kennard Reeves and Jermaine Doster were impressive in limited relief duty in the fourth quarter.
"They're cool customers and can handle the pressure," Johnson said of his running backs. "They've done a good job of learning the offense and were able to run through some big holes."
As dominating was the offensive performance, the Commodore defense, which hold the Catamounts to four first downs, was even moreso. The shutout was the first for Vanderbilt since 1999. WCU was simply unable to produce much of anything against Vandy's stifling stop corps, which forced four turnovers.
"On offense I felt like it was three plays and out almost every series," said Catamount coach Dennis Wagner. "The inability to move the football kept our defense on the field way too much."
Sophomore quarterback Larry Smith, whose only previous start had come in last year's Music City Bowl victory, accounted for 219 total yards and a touchdown pass before leaving the game in the third quarter with an injury. Senior Mackenzi Adams relieved Smith the rest of the way, giving way to third-stringer Jared Funk on the final series.
On the team's first drive, inches from scoring his first career rushing touchdown, Smith coughed up the football diving for the goal line and came up empty. But he redeemed himself two series later, throwing a 46-yard strike to receiver Justin Green for the Commodores' first touchdown of the season.
Utilizing the no-huddle, Vanderbilt produced two more long first-half drives to take a 21-0 halftime lead, with Norman and Stacy getting their first career touchdowns.
Norman added another touchdown to cap off a 43-yard drive in the third quarter that essentially put the game on ice. Commodore coaches emptied the bench in the fourth quarter. Kennard Reeves scored on a 7-yard run, and little-used Ryan van Rensburg bulled in for a 2-yard score to make the score 42-0.
It wasn't all pretty. Punter Brett Upson had a couple of bad-looking punts, and freshman Ryan Fowler missed the first two of his three field goal attempts, before connecting on a meaningless attempt with 45 seconds left in the game.
But few could have asked for a more satisfying performance in an opener. The Commodores were 6-of-8 in the red zone, and committed only three penalties.
The going gets much tougher next week, when the Commodores open SEC play at No. 9 LSU. The Tigers played a late game Saturday on the west coast vs. Washington from the Pac-10.
- How good is this Vanderbilt secondary? Jamie Graham didn't even start. The Dores' all-purpose sophomore athlete played considerably on defense as a nickel back, but wasn't in the starting lineup for offense or defense.
- Freshman Eric Samuels had both a fumble recovery and an interception in mop-up duty in the fourth quarter.
- Zac Stacy was often utilized in the "Stallion" formation, running a direct snap from center. The formation produced a 9-yard touchdown in the second quarter.
- Vanderbilt won its season opener for the third straight season.

Just to be very clear, Duke has never "attacked" any human being in the eight years I have had him, and he was six months old when he brightened my life. He brings joy wherever he goes (unless you've left your trash out on the porch).<quoted text>
Don't think so. He's replying rationally, not in attack mode like you are 99% of the time. You sure you're not Duke's dog?
He certainly has killed his share of chipmunks, mice, and moles, but even then, he usually merely wants to play with them, and things get out of hand. And people have accused him of attacking cats, but those are false allegations. He loves them. I've seen him pick up tiny kittens in his mouth and proudly and protectively carry them around in the exact same fashion that mother cats do to their own younguns...that's where he learned how to do it.
I have seen him pose in a protective stance and snarl on a very rare occasion when there's a stranger approaching my son, and Duke apparently notices something amiss, but never has he attacked.
He's a good dog.

How do I activate it after installing? can somebody help me? what button should I click??? the instructions are very poor - the instruction shifts from 'first person' to 'second person' mode randomly.This user has a previous review of this add-on.
Almost perfect!!!! Rated 4 out of 5 stars
This is great!!! And I would give it 5 stars but the toolbar button is WAY TOO BIG so I have to use the status bar button instead which means I can't move it. Please please please make the toolbar button smaller!!!
Very useful Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Surferby, you can install the official Firefox Addon "Add-on Compatibility Reporter 1.1": http://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ With that you won't have to worry about compatibility errors with totally valid addons.
About "Screen Capture Elite", it has been very useful to me in many times. Maybe, as Surferby said, it should have a better version compatibilty control, now that Firefox policy consists on upgrading almost once a month (!).
Productive but incompatible Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Its a nice Add on. The capability of precisely selecting certain part of the page is nice.
But what bad about this add on is that each time Firefox gets a new update, this add on falls behind. Why? Several times I have attempted to disable the add on compatibility of Firefox to run this add on thinking that the developer must get enough time to solve the issue. But now it seems that the incompatibility issue has become a tradition for this add on.
I feel sorry to say that I am no longer going to disable the add on compatibility to launch Screen Capture Elite as even after the release of Firefox 12, the add on faces compatibility issue as usually..
I hope the developer will be serious enough to save his creation, a nice creation indeed.
Rated 3 out of 5 stars
Does not work for me with Firefox 10.0.2, Windows 7 64-bit. The camera icon does not appear. BUT, I was able to make it work with a Hotkey, to capture the entire screen to the Clipboard. Then I was able to paste that into MSPaint. So, I will give it 3 stars.
Doesn't work with FF 11 Rated 4 out of 5 stars
As it is, Screen Capture Elite 18.104.22.168 doesn't work with Firefox 11. After upping the maxversion in the install file, it does work. Any extensions which can do this automatically at install should also work.
It does seem to work so far after limited testing.
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Working fine here for Firefox 11. I find this one neater the screengrab, the only things I would like to see is an optional entry in the context menu and a more precise pointer on selection something perhaps similar to Paintshop pro's precise pointer so I can see through it and make more accurate selections.
Updates to Firefox 11.0 Rated 3 out of 5 stars
Waiting for the update of Firefox 11.0!
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Not compatible with FF 11.0.
3 Stars for the moment Rated 3 out of 5 stars
no update for a couple of days now for the new version of FF
Very good add-on Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Needs only context menu options (right click "save selection as")
Rated 1 out of 5 stars
Don't work on FF 10.0 Win 7 x64. Can only use clipboard.
Context Menu Feature (and an icon bug) Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Sorry, but I need to insist...
...Do you think is possible to add a main context menu feature?
I'd rather to use context menu options (with or without cascade menu) instead of using a toolbar button with a dropdown menu.
Also, the bug is still there:
I can't customize icon outside of Navigation Bar, It always returns there after restart.
Seems to be that something is wrong with "(err)" and "(e)" lines on "jscode.js".
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
very nice actually, but it seems not working with frames.
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Exactly what I wanted. Something to capture regions, visible and complete web pages. Perfect :) :)This user has 2 previous reviews of this add-on.

Developer is a bit pushy with getting users to view their website -- to the extent of opening a special page as soon as the user clicks "uninstall". Kind of creepy.
Extension basically works, but I don't trust the dev.

U.K. pop duo Ting Tings building buzz in America
By Andre Paine
LONDON (Billboard) - U.K. indie-rock duo the Ting Tings topped the U.K. charts in May with both the supremely catchy single "That's Not My Name" and their debut album -- and are now taking on America.
Singer/guitarist Katie White and drummer Jules de Martino performed on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" Friday, and promptly launched a 10-date mini tour. Their June 13 stop at Los Angeles' Troubadour quickly sold out.
Their album, "We Started Nothing," was released June 3 in the United States via Columbia, which initially shipped 65,000 units. A May 20 digital release -- alongside a vinyl version through indie retailers -- has shifted 9,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
The buzz has been helped by an iPod commercial featuring the song "Shut Up and Let Me Go," and an energetic performance at the South By Southwest music festival in Texas last March.
The video for "Shut Up and Let Me Go" will have its world premiere June 13 on MTV. The song climbed to No. 55 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart last month.
De Martino says the Ting Tings emerged "accidentally" from failed band Dear Eskimo, which was dropped from Mercury U.K. before it released an album.
That experience left them "distraught," he says, but the duo's response was to throw live music parties at the artists' community where it is based in Manchester.
"We're just very lucky we met each other and got through that really awful period in our last band," de Martino says. Continued...

WRAPUP 5-G20 aspires to faster economic growth, roadmap sketchy
* G20 aims to expand GDP by extra 2 pct over 5 years
* Growth to come via structural reforms, to be agreed on by November
* Emerging nations get a nod on calls for central bank coordination
By Louise Egan and Jan Strupczewski
SYDNEY, Feb 23 (Reuters) - The world's top economies have embraced a goal of generating more than $2 trillion in additional output over five years while creating tens of million of new jobs, signalling optimism that the worst of crisis-era austerity was behind them.
The final communique from the two-day meeting of Group 20 finance ministers and central bankers in Sydney said they would take concrete action to increase investment and employment, among other reforms. The group accounts for around 85 percent of the global economy.
"We will develop ambitious but realistic policies with the aim to lift our collective GDP by more than 2 percent above the trajectory implied by current policies over the coming 5 years," the G20 statement said.
Australian Treasurer Joe Hockey, who hosted the meeting, sold the plan as a new day for cooperation in the G20.
"We are putting a number to it for the first time -- putting a real number to what we are trying to achieve," Hockey told a news conference. "We want to add over $2 trillion more in economic activity and tens of millions of new jobs." Continued...

Creating a Website Marketing Plan: Step 4 – Work Your PlanBy
Preface: For those of you just joining us, this is part four of a five-part series I will be doing this week. Throughout this series I will refer to websites as a general term, as all of these concepts and strategies hold true whether your website is a static brochure, informational site, blog, online store or other form of website.
Step 4 of creating a website marketing plan is kind of like embarking on a diet or other life enriching activity – you may know what to do, but if you don't work on it, nothing will come of it! You have defined your purpose, set goals, created a strategy and now you have to follow through and work the plan.
There are many tools available to help you stay on track, but you have to actually use them. Find the tool that fits your personal productivity style and use it.
David Seah has some wonderful printable task planning sheets available for download. These can help you allocate time and resources for your marketing tasks throughout the day/week/month. Some tasks will need to be done daily and others weekly or monthly. Pencil them in on your calendar for the entire month and they will be less likely to be forgotten.
Another method is to look at your week and set certain tasks to occur on certain days. Maybe you spend 30 minutes on Mondays planning your posts or news for the week, Tuesday's marketing time is spent reviewing and tweaking affiliate and other monetization links, and so on. If you have multiple sites, you may want to set aside different days for different sites or similar activities for all sites on the same day. Whatever works for you!
Hold yourself accountable and keep track of your progress. You'll need to have this information ready for tomorrow's post: Step 5 – Take Stock and Reassess.

Great point about holding yourself accountable. Good web marketing takes a lot of time and effort. Natural off-page SEO should have a long-term focus. We've found that a lot of companies get frustrated when they don't see the immediate short-term results they can achieve with PP and give up too soon.

Ready to resume your loan application?
Debt consolidation is the process through which one loan is used to settle a variety of other debts. By consolidating their loans, people generally benefit in one of two ways - they improve their cashflow (sometimes even saving money) and they cut back on their paperwork and admin.
Grouping a series of short term debts - such as store or credit cards - into a single longer term loan means your monthly payment will be smaller, freeing up cash for other expenses. You may benefit from a lower interest rate and as different lenders may apply monthly charges or annual card fees, by making sure you only have one loan with one company and one admin fee, you'll cut back on all those extra costs as well.
Working with a single service provider also means there will be fewer bills for you to handle and fewer payments to be made come month end.
So can debt consolidation work for you? The best starting point is to identify all of your current debt repayments and loans. Make a list of the companies you deal with and then contact them to ask what interest rates they're charging you (it also makes a difference if interest is calculated daily or monthly). Find out whether they are charging you an admin fee, and look at the charges your bank levies for each debit order that goes to your lenders.
The final step is to establish the outstanding capital sum you owe to each of the financial institutions you have borrowed from. To make your life easier, we have a handy account consolidator you can use.
Once you have all these figures to hand you'll be able to calculate the total value of the interest payments you're making each month as well as add up the cost of multiple monthly admin charges.
You can now approach a company like DirectAxis to apply for a consolidation loan. As well as giving you a speedy response - you can apply for your loan online and receive an instant answer - we'll offer you a fixed rate of interest for the duration of the loan. If you qualify for your personal loan, we'll deposit the funds directly into your bank account allowing you to settle your other accounts, cut back on your monthly expenses and relieve some of your month end admin chores.

Logic II : Metatheory (PH210-15)
This module runs in the Autumn Term and is worth 15 CATS.
This module will develop the metatheory of propositional and first-order logic. The primary goal is to show that a proof system similar to that of Logic I is sound (i.e. proves only logically true sentences) and complete (proves all logically true sentences). In order to better understand how we prove things about (as opposed to within) a proof system, we will first study elementary set theory and inductive definitions. We will then consider Tarski's definitions of satisfaction and truth in a model and proceed to develop the Henkin completeness proof for first-order logic.
By the end of the module the student should be able to: 1) demonstrate knowledge of the Soundness and Completeness Theorems for propositional and first-order logic and related technical results and definitions; 2) understand the significance these concepts and results have for logic and mathematics; 3) use and define concepts with precision with precision, both within formal and discursive contexts.
For this module students must attend 3 hours of lectures and 1 hour of seminars per week
Lectures for 2016-17
Mondays 11am to 1pm
MS.04 week 3 only
S0.21 week 4 onwards
Wednesday 11am to 12pm MS.04
There will be no lectures in reading week (week 6)
Seminars for 2016-17
There is only one large seminar group for this module which can be viewed on Tabula from October.
The seminar for this course starts in week 2. There will be no seminar in reading week (week 6).
This module is assessed in the following way:
- One 2-hour exam (worth 100% of the module)
Our primary text will be
- Logic and Structure, 4th edition by Dirk van Dalen, Springer Verlag, 2004
in which we will cover most of chapters 1-3. The same material is also covered at a more elementary level in chapters 15-19 of
- Language, Proof and Logic, Jon Barwise and John Etchemendy, CSLI Publications, 2002.
Students lacking a background in elementary discrete maths (e.g. basic set theory and mathematical induction) are encouraged to obtain
- Prove It: A Structured Approach, Daniel J. Velleman, Cambridge University Press, 2006.
Maths students considering taking further logic courses might consider getting a copy of
- The Mathematics of Logic, Richard Kaye, Cambridge University Press, 2007.

That's the question that Matthew Kahn poses in The Christian Science Monitor:
There are 39 women who rank in the top 1000 and 0 of them blog. Contrast that with the men. Consider the top 100 men. In this elite subset; at least 8 of them blog. Consider the men ranked between 101 and 200. At least, six of them blog. So, this isn't very scientific but we see a 7% participation rate for excellent male economists and a 0% participation rate for excellent women.
Kahn then goes on to say "this differential looks statistically significant to me," so obviously my first inclination was to do a little math. At a basic level, if the true rate of "bloggership" among elite academic economists is 7%, we would expect to see 2.73 females in this group. Furthermore, if each individual has a 7% chance of blogging, the chance that we would see zero female bloggers is (1-0.07)^39, or about 6%. Economists usually use 5 percent as the cutoff for statistical significance, but I'll give Prof. Kahn a free pass here. 🙂
There are, however, a number of explanations for this discrepancy that are not specifically gender related. The most straightforward of these stems from the fact that Prof. Kahn is trying to compare apples to oranges- the 7 percent figure is the rate of bloggership for the top 200 economists, but the 0 for 39 number is for the top 1000 economists. If the rate of bloggership decreases for lower-ranked economists and women are more concentrated toward the back end of the 1000, then we would see a lower rate of bloggership for women than for men even if there were no inherent gender-driven differences.
That's not really a satisfying explanation, so people like to make the "women blog less because they are too busy cooking" sort of argument. (No really, that is essentially what Kahn hypothesizes. I would be more offended if I hadn't just made a lovely cauliflower and pasta dish.) I would like to pose another, in my view more reasonable, explanation. Do you remember this?
For better or for worse, a decent amount of economics blogging is rather…well, argumentative. This argumentative nature can be seen both among bloggers themselves (one need only check out Brad DeLong's blog for an example) or between bloggers and their commenters. (I think it's telling that the reviews of top econ blogs usually point out that one of Marginal Revolution's best features is that its commenters are civilized. Is this not the norm?) I can only speak for myself, but I don't like shouting matches, virtual or otherwise. And I'm a female economist who has dared dip a toe into these shark-infested waters. (Dear civil male econ bloggers: I know you're there, it's just that the other guys are louder.)
If you want to check out another female econ blog, go to economistmom.com. Even the name works to dispel the hypothesis that female economists are too busy cooking and changing diapers.
Update: My friend Krista reminds me of another potential explanation- in my experience, females tend to exhibit more perfectionist tendencies, which do not really make someone comfortable with an at best lightly-edited medium such as a blog. I don't know about others, but I certainly resemble that remark.

It's Dolores Park. Under a line of trees, at the foot of a grassy slope friends used to call "Flesh Beach," a large barbecue emits the summery smell of charcoal-roasted meats. Two drag queens in chef hats, sequins, and enormous gold sunglasses absent-mindedly flip burgers and greet newcomers with appropriately jaded histrionics. A small kiddie pool, a pile of pink hula hoops, and some candy-colored frisbees are nearby, and a tangible feeling of excitement is in the air. This is the fourth annual Dyke and Drag Queen Decathlon, and emotions are running high.
Team manager Marge Schotts looks over her gold glasses at the playing field below, and dismisses my question about sporting odds with a throaty chuckle.
"The dykes never win, honey," she says tugging on the matronly gray wig that sits under her chef's hat. "The drag queens have won three years in a row."
Three incredibly tan, incredibly muscular, well-tucked drag queens in matching activewear and Swedish-blond wigs sashay over to the sign-up table to peruse their options: Potato-sack race, water-balloon toss, egg-and-spoon race, crab-walk relay, tug-o-war, biggest bubble blow, swivel-hips hula, and pie-eating contest. The "Swedes" chuckle and playfully smack each other's rippling biceps, scribbling their names down on the appropriate forms. They are joined by a few women in cutoff bluejeans and loose-fitting T-shirts who also write down their names. The blond drag queens smile encouragingly.
"Swedish volleyball team," says an onlooker ominously. "Ringers."
The grassy slope begins to fill with supporters and fans. Schotts circulates with a tray of lattes while more drag queens assemble on the field below -- some of them looking suspiciously like bears in wigs -- and two rows of frisbees are set up as boundary lines.
"Where are all the dykes?" shouts Uomi, Schotts' chef-hatted cohort in the alternative sport syndicate. The dykes emerge from the crowd, team up, and climb into potato sacks alongside their bewigged adversaries. And they're off! Hop, hop, hopping across the field. A few of the women stumble and fall, drawing falsely sympathetic commentaries from Uomi and giving the drag queens time to stop and wiggle their fannies for the crowd. The hopping fervor of Swedish bombshell Inga causes one of her breasts to explode, sending birdseed flying several feet in all directions; still, the drag queens have it. (The faulty falsie is easily replaced with a water balloon.)
The egg-and-spoon relay is won by Lorena Bob-Ette, Surely Would, and Freak-Ella, a stalwartly heterosexual man pinch-hitting for the drag queens. The crab walk proves a strenuous ordeal, with dykes and drag queens collapsing in equal measure, and one horrifying queen going by the name Tasty Tuna butt-scooting across the finish line. And still the drag queens have it. Accusations of biased score-keeping begin to circulate within the crowd, but two cheerleaders -- the lithesome Thalo Bleu and her pompon-toting sister, Ivy Drip -- offer titillating distraction. The tug-o-war, apparently "the only event the dykes won last year," prompts renewed vigor on the part of the dyke team, now going by the moniker Peep Peep Biker Chicks. A large knotted rope and the kiddie pool filled with water are brought out to the field. With the help of a handsome pit bull dog, and a heartfelt cheer -- "Gimme a D-Y-K-E! What's that spell? Go Dykes!" -- the dykes make small change of the drag queens and all their bronzed brawn, pulling Inga and Tuna headlong into the pool. With all the mascara involved, it's not a pretty sight. The balloon toss proves problematic for the drag queens ("Long nails and overextended rubbers do not mix," someone confides), but man-handed Bob-Ette and het-boy Freak-Ella win out.
Then, it's time for the hula-hoop contest. Demoralized and distraught, the dyke team comes up one player short. It's a potential tragedy. Noticing a gaggle of dot-commers watching the decathlon from a secure distance, and feeling the stir of a call to arms in my San Francisco heart, I strip myself of keys, wallet, and belt, and stumble onto the field, praying for primordial memory and childhood hips. The field is a twirling kaleidoscope of pink and white candy stripes. I try not to look at my opponents or the crowd, focusing all my attention on the quiet swish of the tiny ball spinning in the ring around my hips. Competitors begin to drop. Finally it is down to me, one dyke, and cheerleader Bleu with her thin hips and sure swivel. The dyke murmurs something about getting tired; Bleu gives me a look that says, "I can keep this up all night if I have to, honey." Uomi orders us to walk, while hula-hooping. I close my eyes and take a few tentative steps. It's a point for the dyke team.
If you didn't know, there are few things more horrifying than being on the receiving end of an icy stare from a defeated drag queen cheerleader.
Thankfully, the bubble-blowing contest offers a distraction when, despite the lesbian "aversion to blowing," dyke Bee Babs Bubble produces a chewing gum orb of prodigious proportion, a talent she says she owes to a childhood encounter with Baskin-Robbins 31 Flavors' bubble gum ice cream. The pie-eating contest is also an upset when the drag queens prove swallowing is as important as lapping.
And the trophy goes to the drag queens, again. With the perfunctory warning that the award be guarded because the dykes always try to steal it at the end of the day.
All geared up and ready for games, I approach the Fillmore for Ian Brennan's annual Live Nude Bands benefit. A sign on the door, warning that the show is adult in nature and those offended should ask for their money back before entering, is promising. Inside, a floor-to-ceiling projection of Harvey Keitel doing what Harvey Keitel does best -- get naked -- helps fulfill the promise. But that's just the beginning.
Onstage, Donald Reynolds, the lead singer of 3 Day Stubble, drops his tighty whities during his band's final song. This revelation is disconcerting for a number of reasons:
1) Only the headlining band -- that is, the ultimate loser of several games of tug-o-war and a spelling bee -- is expected to disrobe;
2) Reynolds' rod-and-tackle is all taped back; and
3) I looked close enough to notice.
The Hi-Fives, hunky lads all, have already performed, but there is still high hope for nakedness during the rest of the evening. The Gun & Doll Show, having stomped the Marginal Prophets during tug-o-war, perform a set filled with racy military maneuvers resulting in the three long-haired dolls of the band stripping off their mechanic's overalls to reveal tight red bodices and miniskirts, but it is the gents in the band who give us the full monty, revealing certain attributes that rightly complement their musical prowess. Tribe 8, having smoked Essence and her band on the rope, get topless (of course) and reveal strap-on dildos with varying degrees of girth that must be sucked by some little "straight boy" in the house. Even the faux-castration of a "sexual predator" does nothing to dampen the spirits of the flesh-hungry crowd, from which several men loudly proclaim their admiration for lesbians.
To put it lightly, the atmosphere is charged.
"I didn't think everyone would get naked," squeals Shale Heath, a 23-year-old superfan of Marginal Prophets frontman Keith Knight. "Do you think Keith Knight will get naked even if they don't headline? Do you think?" I think.
But not before a spell-off between Storm, Essence, and White Trash Debutantes frontwoman(?) Ginger Coyote. Hostess, poetess, and sassy gal about town Beth Lisick starts the test rounds with some "rawk slang." Storm easily navigates "gimme"; Coyote misspells "c'mon," opting, according to Lisick, for the lesser-used Quiet Riot spelling of the word; and Essence triumphs with "ho." Then, it's on to deliberately misspelled band names: Storm aptly spells Lynyrd Skynyrd, Coyote narrowly misses Def Leppard, and Essence flubs Boyz II Men, in what many people in the audience call an obvious throw. "Phlegm" and "vacuum" finally undo Essence and Ginger, respectively, making Storm the winner, much to the chagrin of the same guys in the crowd who "love lesbians" and want to "see Storm's tits."
The Prophets, after a jubilant set seriously augmented by the acrobatic skills of percussionist Stark Raving Brad, give Shale Heath a lot more than she bargained for, while Storm, stripping down to pasties and a flowery G-string, offers a bit less. After another strenuous game of tug-o-war between the White Trash Debutantes and Essence's "natural fiber" crew, Essence proves to be the only female performer in the house willing to show that "nothing gets between her and her music." Which leaves only the White Trash Debutantes, who, thankfully, don't take the headlining slot at Live Nude Bands to heart, remaining clothed through their set.
No one is disappointed.
The games played, the music heard, everyone stumbles into the cool San Francisco night air, sweaty and sated, triumphant one and all in the city they call home.

The New Face Syndrome
While the Brooklyn Nets try to figure out exactly how plain and boring their new jerseys will look like, they've already outfitted their contemporary persona. Their high ambition for free agents – still so early in the pudding of the 2012 National Basketball Association off season – is a sign of exactly how certain the front office is that a new identity will result into instant success. Their new face is being glimmered, polished, and given a little eye shadow in the hope that it will translate into a new fate – a desire that is all too concurrent in sports teams nowadays, and is not always compensated.
Changes in a team's identity are interesting and can be exciting – especially for the sports memorabilia consumers – but they are not always voluntary; the former Montreal Expos were forced to become the Washington Nationals due to low attendance, financial issues, and eventually, not finding a suitable home. But the Nats didn't explode with this new face, as some might think; many years passed before they became a noteworthy big league team and their hats became world famous. They've never finished a season over .500, they had two straight 100+ loss seasons not too long ago, and have finished in the bottom of the National League East five out of their first seven seasons in D.C. The Nats, forced to wait for triumph, camped out two years at the top of the Major League Baseball First Year Player Draft and swallowed up the two greatest prospects in baseball history, Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper. When free agents weren't a viable option for the boys in red, they took the seemingly unseemly path of patience. They waited for the pieces to come together into the perfect mixture, instead of going all-in once their new uniforms came in. This tolerance and ability to keep fans just enough interested in the team has finally shown profit: They are currently leading the NL East by more than a handful of games, they bolster the best pitching staff in the Majors, and they are the best team in the National League. They're no fluke this year, and are almost guaranteed a spot in the postseason. Change: Good.
The Tampa Bay Rays are the most successful example of a change of image in recent memory, going from worst to pretty much first after changing their logo, uniform, and name. Once known as the dreg of Major League Baseball, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, the team from St. Petersburg changed their image in November of 2007, simply hoping to rid themselves of the ties to their futile past. The Devil Rays never had a winning season, finishing a franchise-best 70-91 in 2004. After they became the Tampa Bay Rays, however, their fortunes changed, as they won the pennant in 2008, to go along with 97 regular season wins that season, and they haven't finished under .500 since changing their name. The Rays had been preparing for transformation for a long time, acquiring many highly-touted draft picks, such as B.J. Upton, Evan Longoria, and David Price. Their sudden metamorphosis was well planned out before sunshine became their logo, and it didn't entail high spending – unlike what the Marlins dabbed in. They took the Nationals's path of patience, acquired the right draft picks, and have succeeded as a result. They're just glad they didn't have to wait seven years to flourish after their change in identity like the Nationals had to do. Change: Great.
A change with less data to examine (but filled with plenty of lessons about a team's vanity) exists in the fish. When the Florida Marlins saw that they would finally get a new stadium, they decided they needed to change the entire look of their franchise to draw more people in. They wanted fans of the game to see the Marlins as a serious team, one that could win on a constant basis instead of a flash once every six years or so. They wanted to be more than a lucky batch in a pond of east cost giants. As a result, they changed their logo, uniform, and name, along with their stadium so the old failures of the Florida Marlins could not follow them. They spent like they forgot that they weren't the Miami Heat, signing Jose Reyes, Mark Buehrle, Heath Bell, and getting a new, successful manager, Ozzie Guillén. Their obsession for a new identity hasn't panned out yet, as they are fourth in the NL East, nine games back of the Nationals, and have only just reached 40 wins. In another translation, the Marlins shelled out $201 million on four stars this off season, but are trailing three teams with Opening Day payrolls less than half that sum. Change: Eh…for now.
While lessons about equanimity are being shown, the former New Jersey Nets are pursuing the Marlins's path via high spending. They're going to move into a new stadium, with a new city, and (which looks like it was drawn by a four year-old) a new logo. The Brooklyn Nets, with an emblem lacking color (yes, because black and white are not actually colors. Whohoo, art class, you taught me one thing!) will be adorned by the likes of Deron Williams, who the Nets splurged for in a five year, $98 million deal. Not looking to become complacent, the Nets are already in talks to trade for the Superman Center of ambiguity, Dwight Howard. Not quite as much of an investment as the Marlins put into Reyes, Bell, Buehrle, and Ozzie, but still, the Nets are trying, oh, are they trying. The soon-to-be inhabitants of the Barclays Center are hungry for their first postseason appearance since 2007, and Coach Avery Johnson is already aspiring that he will be doing interviews for the 2013 NBA Playoffs. Change: Please, Dwight, play basketball for us or we're screwed!
Some more historic examples of teams changing their identities have been recorded: The Minneapolis Lakers moved to Los Angeles and made purple-and-gold the soil of the West Coast before the 1960-1961 season; the Angels decided that California was too broad of a character, and subsequently added wings to their logo and became the Anaheim Angels in 1997; the Jazz decided that Utah needed the constant peace of jazz music to deal with their tortuous weather, thus moving to Utah in 1979 and becoming the Utah Jazz. The reasons for new team names, cities, stadiums, and logos were diverse, sometimes varying from only wanting a new look, to wanting to avoid negative stigma towards their name that suggested the crime rate of their city (oh, whatever did happen to the Washington Bullets?)
But regardless, the desire of sports franchises for a new identity is as enticing as anti-aging face lotion for women. The drool that the fans, players, and executives produce all comes from a craving for escape – an escape from an unsuccessful past or present, so they can move onto a new countenance that can make their critics forget. Nowadays, professional teams seem to think that a new name or look means they have become a completely different club, or have the sudden capability to be different. Don't get me wrong, such changes aren't always bad: The Devil Rays's uniforms often looked like the puke from manta rays, and the nation's capital was without a baseball team for decades. The tolerant ones are rewarded eventually, giving fans a new hat and jersey to invigorate exhilaration. But sometimes the change is done too hastily and foolishly seen as a right for automatic success. The Marlins and Nets see their changes in stadiums and logos as preordained facts that they will instantly jump up from the bottom of the cellar in their leagues. It's an understandable desire, as both the Marlins and Nets have suffered through many years of futility. Waiting for a new system of thought – a Moneyball or a new-sense basketball getaway – can be a slow process – something the fans can't stand. So, the new way to change fate is to open up your wallets and buy a new face. It's what Hollywood does, and professional sports leagues are like Hollywood, filled with glitz, camera flashes, and impatient supporters. So hey, throw out a few crisp notes and your fate will be changed! Don't worry if the solution is only temporary and often means nothing when your competitors have better sense than you! A new face is costly, but it means you can throw your old life behind! And if you hurry your purchase, a complimentary stadium and mega concert will be included in your package, free of charge! How great is that!

Unwrapping Your Spiritual Gifts (1 of 5) by Ed Rowell
This content is part of a series.Unwrapping Your Spiritual Gifts (1 of 5)
Ed Rowell
1 Corinthians 12:1-11
August 6, 2000
Sometimes gifts can be dangerous things. I'll never forget the Christmas my two older cousins, Ronnie and Chuck, both got BB guns. From daybreak, when they unwrapped their weapons, until around noon when they were finally apprehended, these two went on a crime spree that terrorized that neighborhood. As I recall, their targets included at least three broken house windows, a windshield, two other kids, a Plastic Santa, and who knows how many cats that ran clear out of the country.
My aunt was the kind who gave her kids an awful lot of freedom, and I can still hear her telling my mom, "Gee, I never thought to tell them all the things they couldn't shoot. I just told them not to shoot at each other."
I wonder if Paul had the same feeling when he found out about all the ways the Corinthian church had abused the gifts they had received from God's spirit?
As we've seen in the first six chapters, Paul has really taken them to task for moral and ethical disorder in the church. Power struggles, rivalries, sexual immorality, lawsuits between believers, marital difficulties, pagan practices - you name it and the Corinthians were involved in it. And now Paul addresses ways they hurt one another and discredited the name of Jesus in their community through both their misuse and neglect of God's empowering gifts of grace.
Years ago, the great football coach Bud Wilkinson was asked to serve on the President's Council for Physical Fitness. During an interview, a reporter asked him what contribution professional football makes to the physical well being of Americans. His response, "Very little. A professional football game is where 60,000 spectators, desperately in need of exercise, sit in the stands cheering on 22 athletes, desperately in need of rest."
There's a cliché pastors hear that says, "Eighty percent of the ministry in a local church is done by twenty ...

Months ago I bookmarked this. Here's my version of the list--basically horrific things that pop into my head without me wanting them to. And just for the record, no, this doesn't happen terribly often.
- That the plane will crash, sometimes from something mechanical and sometimes from gravity and physics just no longer working. That I'm forced to make those frantic, last-minute phone calls to loved ones before we all die.
- That up ahead? On the other side of that hill? Is a car barreling towards me in the wrong lane.
- That Chucky is in my room, you know, just at the edge of the bed. (Why on earth did I just search for him so I could add a link?)
- That the test results are positive and not in a good way.
- Like I mentioned the other day, that our freaky neighborhood drunk shot at us and I'm kneeling beside my dying husband. (I'm telling you, I was pissed at that guy.)
- That I dislocate my knee. Again.
- That there are roaches. Near me, on me, whatever.
I know there are more but that's all I can conjure up right now. Happy topic, no? At least I can take writing about it off my To Do list (so in a way I guess this is part of end-o-year
house blogkeeping).

A Message from the Director
"A man or woman never stands so tall as when they stoop to help a child!"
I absolutely love the aforementioned simple, yet powerful statement. There is no more important duty or role of government than protecting our children from harm. We must provide for the safety of our most vulnerable citizens, children, and truly, failure is not an option. We must succeed and we must succeed gloriously. The challenges are daunting and the work is difficult. However, the rewards of great public servants creating hope where there was once only despair and creating function where there was once only dysfunction are immense.

We got in a foggy, drippy start, then a pleasant middle, into a fiery ending of a day that landed us right at 100 miles. We had two guys drop out and two guys for parts of the course. One guy did the "original course, while the rest did a "modified version". It was quite a day!

On the eve of the Great War, barely more than half the citizens of France spoke the French language or considered themselves ethnically French, as historian Eugen Weber famously illustrated; it was the war itself that replaced France's regional languages and identities with a national one.
And France was one of the more unified nations. In 1914, less than half the population of Romanov Russia was ethnic Russian. In post-unification Italy, only 2.5 per cent of citizens spoke Italian on a daily basis.
Multiculturalism was the prewar norm: For every 100 soldiers in the Hapsburg army in 1914, historian David Reynolds observes, "there were on average 25 Germans, 18 Magyars, 13 Czechs, 11 Serbs and Croats, 9 Poles, 9 Ruthenes, 6 Romanians, 4 Slovaks, 2 Slovenes and 2 Italians. … Many units operated with two languages, some as many as five."
It wasn't the war that changed all that, but the peace. In the postwar wreckage of Europe's empires and economies, the Treaty of Versailles attempted to create a new peace by granting independent statehood to virtually anyone who sought it and asked loudly or forcefully enough. U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, the man most responsible for shaping the postwar world, famously declared, in early 1918, that "all well-defined national aspirations shall be accorded the utmost satisfaction." He took the phrase "self-determination" – a Bolshevik idea popular with Lenin – and gave it a much wider meaning.
This was not at all an inevitable development – in fact, both countries best poised to determine the peace, the United States and Britain, were opposed to (and sometimes threatened by) ethnic and linguistic nationalism. But, as historian Eric Hobsbawm once observed, the postwar explosion of new countries "was the result of two unintended developments: the collapse of the great multinational empires of Europe, and the Russian Revolution – which made it desirable for the Allies to play the Wilsonian card against the Bolshevik card." Ethnic nationalism was ugly, but it trumped communist internationalism.
These new postwar nations were of a very different flavour from those created in the nationalist fervour of the 19th century. "Whereas Italy and Germany had been created through the unification of various local polities with similar language and culture," David Reynolds writes in his superb history, The Long Shadow: The Great War and the Twentieth Century, these nations were created "through secession from dynastic empires that had hitherto controlled a volatile mix of ethnic groups in various stages of national self-consciousness and political mobilization."
Even before the war was over, more cautious people warned that this thrust to create ethno-states was a ticking bomb. Wilson's secretary of state, Robert Lansing, expressed alarm: "When the President talks of 'self-determination,' what unit has he in mind? Does he mean a race, a territorial area, or a community?" The phrase, in Lansing's view, was "simply loaded with dynamite," and would "raise hopes which can never be realized" and "cost thousands of lives." He was certainly correct.
These newborn nations were destined for further violence: None was actually uni-ethnic or uni-linguistic, despite their claims; most contained competing nationalities and faiths seeking self-determination. Some, such as Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and Iraq, were purely artificial hodgepodges of groups that had ancient rivalries. Arab states such as Jordan and Syria were essentially gifts to tribal families that had favoured the old empire. The Israel-Palestine conflict was the most inevitable conflict arising from the borders of this post-1914 world, but there have been hundreds of others – including, most recently, ISIL's Sunni-imperial challenge to the Sykes-Picot line.
"Although nationalist frenzy was more consequence than cause of the Great War," Mr. Reynolds writes, "the war-makers had let the genie out of the bottle and the peace-makers could not put it back."
The new nationalism
That nationalist frenzy was not merely the product of top-down peace treaties and diplomatic deals, though. What Wilson and his allies unleashed was a new form of thinking, and a new form of politics and violence, that had filled the air in 1914.
It is important to distinguish these nationalist movements from the liberal states that were created in their name. They were different things, with different consequences.Report Typo/Error

Skylark- Westwings
The first of the series of Slingsby Skylark sailplanes was conceived as a small & low cost aircraft based on the earlier Prefect. It was a small aircraft with a wingspan of 13.68 metres and to provide good performance a wing using the then fairly new NACA laminar flow aerofoil sections was employed. The first of the Skylarks flew in 1953 and showed a respectable performance, but there was obvious room for improvement & development which led to the Skylarks 2, 3 & 4. These were very different and more sophisticated designs. This West Wings semi-scale model is 1828 mm (72") wingspan & is intended for radio controlled slope soaring, but prototypes have been bungee launched from flat field sites into strong thermals. Controls are rudder, elevator and ailerons. The ailerons require micro servo's built into the wings.

Loved Alaska, not the ship!
Sail Date: September 04, 2015
Reviewed: 1 year ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Balcony
Would absolutely go back to Alaska again, but on a different ship. The ship was out dated, things in room broke (fridge- took our last outlet up), musty smell. Dining room table 481 right by the bus station (never went back). Shows were boring and confusing (walked out on 1, had no clue what it was about). Ports were great, do the zip lining in Icy Strait if you can...I was so scared, but I did it and would do it again!! Whale watching was fun. Weather in September was rain & cloudy in mornings and sun in afternoon, sweatshirt weather for me with a jacket I bought on the ship (and I am always cold). Sip tour WAS NOT worth the 300 I paid for 2 people. Overall loved the ports, but not the ship!

Fridge was broke in our room so we had a medical one put in and the took up our only outlet because the fire alarm was plugged in the other outlet and if you pulled out that plug it beeped every couple seconds!

02 330 engine problem (wouldn't start, now doesn't run)
Hi, this is my first post here I bought a 2002 330ci m-sport a couple months ago (first car), and so far i love it.
It ran quiet and smooth in every way until last night. Last night the red battery light came on for a couple seconds while i revved it, then it went out. A minute later it came on again, and stayed on for 10 minutes before going out again. My dad and i measured the battery voltage this morning and it's fine (11,6V). The generator seems to be working as well. All of a sudden while we were measuring the battery with the engine on, off, revving etc, it wouldn't start. The starter motor clicks, but it doesn't turn the engine. All lights in the car flashes as the starter motor clicks. Battery voltage was still plenty. We push-started the car and it ran fine. Warning lights for handbrake, DSC, red oil light stayed on. We push-started it again, and i went for a short drive to see if the lights went out (they didn't). After a minute, the engine started to run like crap (jerky, like the igntion and injectors were working half-time). Applying throttle had less and less effect, and after barely a minute the engine shut down.
So thats where we are at right now
I don't have much experience with cars, and have basically no bmw specific knowledge. I am asking for help here because i know it can get very expensive if i tell the mechanics ''it started to jerk and the stopped'', rather than telling them what the problem usually or probably is. Or maybe if i'm lucky it's something i can fix myself. Any help, theories and advice is very appreciated!

11.6V is not fine.
You can jump start it by using the hookup points in the engine bay, a red plastic cap opens to give you your positive terminal and connect your negative lead to the steel hook on the head or somewhere else solid on the motor.
You can change the battery in these cars without having to worry about needing a code for the cd player

You have a bad battery, a bad alternator or a bad engine to body ground or a combination of any of the above.
A fully charged battery should read 12.6 Volts, just because a battery reads 12.6 Volts does not mean it is good, it just means it is charged. A battery test needs to be performed to verify if the battery is actually good. A poor mans battery test is start with a fully charged battery, turn the headlights on in the vehicle with the engine off, after 2 minutes, the battery should be at 12.2 Volts or higher, if so the battery is at least in pretty good condition.
A battery below 12.0 Volts is effectively 100% depleted of power it is capable of supplying.
A proper charging system should provide 13.5-14.5 Volts to the battery while the engine is running with accessories on.
I had a bad battery, it had a bad cell, it caused all sorts of havoc with the E46, lights on for ABS, Traction Control, Brakes. The dash lit up like a Christmas Tree. Thought the alternator was also a problem, but a the end of the day, just the original battery was bad in under 4 years.
I do not personally trust any battery that is over 4 years old. Some may last far longer, but after 4 years, I get nervous and constantly test the battery 3-4 times a year.

Thanks for taking your time to answer! I spoke to my moms husband who's been driving bmw for decades, and he is 100% sure it's the battery as well. I thought as long as you had enough battery to crank the engine, it should be enough. The guy i bought it from said he put a new battery in not too long ago, but i'll replace the battery and come back

If the battery was really replaced, it may actually be fine. The problem is when the battery is not fully charged or actually bad, the cranking Voltage drops too low when starting the engine and the modules have a problem communicating with each other. The DME shuts down the multiple spark triggering routine and then errors pop up and the engine may not run properly.
For example the FSU or blower resistor could be bad and draining the battery causing these problems. Get the battery charged and tested as I assume a battery is not cheap in your area of the world, like most car parts. If you have VAT this is a big hit along with a recycle fee!

I replaced the battery and everything worked, it did recieve some charging at one point. But today while out testing the warning lights came on and it eventually died just like before. So i guess it's either the generator or the charging relay. I tried measuring the generator on the nut where the thick red cable is attched to the back of it (i assumed it's the + cable), but i got nothing. So the next move is to get a new generator? Or could it still be the relay? I am at least very happy that it's simply a charging problem. I would NEVER have guessed that all the warning lights and the engine jerking and dying was simply because of low voltage.

Yea, alternator is bad. Do you have a multimeter? While running, you should measure 14V at battery. I bet yours will be basic 12V from battery itself.
Registered User
It drops almost 1V while idling. I'm just about to remove the regulator to see exactly what it looks like, so i can order/buy a new one.
Registered User
I replaced the regulator with a new one, including new carbon pins(?). It has idled for 15 minutes now, and i have 12,66V on the battery, and 13,5 while idling! . It was the carbon pins that were very worn out. Thank you everyone for the advice! If i hadn't bought a new battery, it would have cost only about 60$ and an hour of work.

Dubai, Apr 29(ANI): A ten-year-old British girl was reportedly attacked by two men who tried to rape her near her parent's home in Dubai.
According to reports, the girl had gone to look for mice in a sandy play area close to her home, when one of the sex fiends grabbed her round the waist while the other attempted to remove her clothes.owever, she managed to fight them off by kicking the men and screaming, before running away. er family found her more than two hours later with a security guard from the complex where she lives.
Meanwhile, a Bangladeshi national, Abdul Aziz, has been charged with attempted rape and has appeared in court in Dubai.
Aziz is said to have admitted that he stopped the girl, then tried to undress her for sex, but she escaped after struggling violently.
"It was an extremely serious assault. The prosecution say there was clear intent to rape or carry out a serious sexual assault on the girl," The Sun quoted a Dubai court source, as saying.
"She was very lucky to escape and very brave to have fought back. Her parents were frantic when she disappeared and incredibly relieved when she was found," the source added.
The trial has been adjourned until a date to be fixed next month. (ANI)
