Japan's Ai Miyazato is back to defend her crown at the LPGA Tour's LOTTE Championship after beating Azahara Munoz and Meena Lee by four strokes to claim the inaugural title in 2012.
Miyazato birdied three of the final six holes to close with a two-under 70 and capture her eighth career LPGA Tour title.
South Korea's Lee and Spain's Munoz shared second place at the Ko Olina Golf Club. The 144 players in the field this week will compete for $1.7 million in prize money with the winner collecting $225,000.
The LOTTE Championship was one of two titles for Miyazato in 2012. This year she has three top-25 finishes, including second place at the Founders Cup last month.
Also in the field is newly-crowned world number one Park Inbee, of South Korea, who recently captured her second major title at the Kraft Nabisco Championship.
The 24-year-old Park had to overtake Stacy Lewis, who is also competing this week as the Tour returns to the Aloha State for the event which runs from Wednesday to Saturday. Lewis, who held No. 1 for four-consecutive weeks, is currently second and could reclaim the top ranking.
Park has been one of the most consistent players on the Tour the past year. Last summer she went through a 10-week stretch of top-10 finishes and this year she kicked off the season with a win at the LPGA Honda tournament in Thailand.
Her Kraft Nabisco win marked the 27th consecutive cut she has made.
Choi Na-Yeon, of South Korea, and Tseng Ya-ni, of Taiwan, are also in the hunt for No. 1.

Louisiana has a unique way of making government more bipartisan. Consider the major candidates for governor this fall:
-Foster Campbell, a Democrat
-Walter Boasso, who started out as a Democrat, was elected to the state senate as a Republican in 2003, then became a Democrat again this year
-John Georges, who was a Republican, then publicly mulled becoming a Democrat a few weeks ago, before deciding to run as an independent
-Bobby Jindal, a lifelong Republican so far as I can tell, although he did switch parties from Hindu to Catholic
The elephant (or donkey?) in the room prior to the September 6 filing deadline was New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, a Democrat, who wouldn't say whether he was running. He decided to pass on the race. Many media outlets have reported over the years that Nagin was once a Republican, although he denies it. But he did endorse Jindal over Democrat Kathleen Blanco in 2003.
After the governor's contest is out of the way, the next big election in Louisiana will be the 2008 U.S. Senate race. Incumbent Mary Landrieu, a Democrat, is like to face state treasurer John Kennedy, a Republican who was a Democrat until three weeks ago.

A/N I want to thank everyone for reading this. I hope you enjoyed it. I want to give a final shout out to all of the reviewers, the people who PM'd me, and everyone who faved and followed. The feedback is huge and is what makes me come back to the keyboard each time. Thank you. You guys are fantastic.
Mad love to Asher Henry who has been invaluable as a sounding board and beta.
I might do a follow up on atudy session but I think I may take some time and try and catch up on some reading. I have five books I want to read and so many new stories are up and when I am writing I just don't have time to read.
Thanks again and Happy New Year.
Dance of the Seven Veils.
Chapter 13
The galleons began to warm in everyone's pockets. The message read: Little Stempington. 8 PM.
Everyone geared up for the evening with the main force of the attack meeting at Grimmauld Place. There were three groups attacking tonight. The recon and preparation units which would meet with the primary attack force, the primary attack force and the secondary units.
The recon and prep unit consisted of George, Fred, Ron, Draco, Alicia, Angelina, Severus, Neville, Filius and Minerva. The rest of the primary unit were Dumbledore who would be leading, Hermione, Ernie, Cormac, the remaining Weasley clan, the Malfoys, Bellatrix, Remus, Tonks, Cormac, Hannah, Justin, and Hagrid.
The secondary units comprised of the remaining Order members, the Aurors and the sympathizers.
Hermione was looking at her watch. It was three o'clock. The recon and prep unit should be back by now and she was worried. Hopefully they successfully set up for the evening. George and Fred popped in first followed by the others.
"How did it go?" She asked the twins.
"…everything is set up for tonight.'
"The place is crawling with Death Eaters at least fifty to a hundred" Alicia added.
"I hope we have enough fire power"
Two voices sang out, "We have enough fire power"
She absolutely adored those twins.
"So why are we staying down here hiding in a bunker? I want to be on the front line. I want to pay back those bastards."
"Patience Harry. We will go up to the battle once I receive the signal from Mulciber. The rest of the inner circle will stay down here with us until the time is right. The report is they expect to be battling around one hundred of my men. Between the snatchers, the Death Eaters, the vampires, werewolves, Dementors and giants there will be almost one thousand men on the field. They will be overwhelmed and destroyed. Once their forces are thinned out we will go to the battlefield and finish the job."
Voldemort had no intention of going out there until there was nothing left of the Order and he had every intention of leaving Harry behind. He spent years creating Horcruxes to become immortal and he had no intention of dying tonight. His last remaining Horcrux was going to be coddled and protected whether he liked it or not. The Order were going to be out-numbered and unprepared for what was coming and they were going to die horribly. He smiled at the thought.
"How long do we have?" Bella whispered in her ear. They were all nervously pacing about the study.
"Another few hours."
"More than enough time. Come upstairs with me." Bella took her hand and led her up to their rooms. Crooks saw the witches enter and gave up his spot on Hermione's pillow for them.
"If we make it through this I am teaching that cat to stay in his own bed."
"No you won't Bella, I have seen you pampering him all curled up in bed. You adore him and you know it."
"Well he does seem to know when I need alone time with you." She motioned to the kneazle that was now sneaking out the door to find and elf to torment. "Come here!"
She pulled Hermione close wrapping her arms around her and burying her face in her hair.
"I can't lose you Hermione. You are my only tether to real world. Please stay here."
"You know I won't….I can't. I need to be there."
"I know, it's part of the reason I love you so much. You know if I lose you….it might be best for everyone if I go with you. You keep my….impulses in check."
Hermione pulled her down enjoying the feel of her lover's body on top of her.
"Baby. If I don't make it you need to go. You can't stay here. You know that. Kingsley will put you to work cleaning up the Death Eaters and the sympathizers but it will only be so long before you end up on the wrong side of the Ministry again. Go. Make a new life somewhere else."
"I can't do it without you. I am a killer Hermione. You give me the ability to control it and focus it but I need the blood, the battle. Without you I want to be on the wrong side of the Ministry."
Her kiss didn't match their conversation. It was slow and sweet. A promise filled with love after words filled with death.
"I love you my twisted little psychopath."
Bella answered with her lips, nibbling on her jaw and moving to her neck. Her pace was slow and her touch sensual. She divesto'd their clothing and let her thigh rest between the apex of Hermione's legs enjoy the warmth and wetness she felt there. Hermione shifted her leg between Bella's allowing the woman to enjoy the feeling as well.
Hermione grabbed her ass digging her nails in and shifted causing friction between them. Bellatrix gasped and began to grind against her young lover. She pulled her head back by her hair and began to attack her neck kissing and biting as she increased her rhythm against her witch.
"Fuck. You feel so good Bella. I need you to make it today. I need you to live for me. Kill every man and woman there if you have to but we are walking away from this."
"I will paint the walls red to keep you my sweet little mudblood."
"Fuck. I love you."
Bella increased her pace enjoying the feel as Hermione's nails dug into her skin she could feel a warm stickiness on her back and ass and knew the girl had drawn blood. She groaned knowing her mudblood needed her so badly. She loved this witch and she would do whatever it took to win. She ground hard into her lover who was now panting with need. She was close. She reached her hand to Hermione's nipple pulling her ring hard. Hermione screamed as the orgasm hit her. Once she recovered her wits about her she pulled Bella up motioning for her to move. Bella understood what she wanted.
She straddled Hermione's face holding herself several inches above Hermione's mouth.
"Our first time….dirty little slut. Look at me."
She spread herself so Hermione could see how wet her cunt was.
"That's yours baby. Always yours. Taste."
She lowered herself down allowing Hermione a few swipes of her tongue before pulling away. Hermione tried to follow her but Bella had a firm grasp of her hair.
"That's all for you, only yours."
She lowered herself again allowing Hermione to explore her freely. She moaned as she felt her witch's tongue enter her. She reached a hand back slapping at her now pierced breast as she rode her lover. Everything was the same but different. Bella had staked her claim to Hermione the first time but she didn't realize it would be for so much more than a fun little fuck. She gently toyed with her own nipple enjoying the feel of the ring.
She had no idea that first night would lead to this but she was happy for the first time in her life. She had a license to kill from the Minister himself and a witch to kill for. No one would ever get in the way of this. Ever.
She shifted as she felt the finger against her tight asshole. Hermione pushed in hard drawing a scream from Bella.
"That's so good baby. I see why you like when I do you rough there. More."
Hermione added another finger and began to pound her. Bella was bucking and grinding against her face as she met each thrust. Hermione captured her clit in her mouth and was covered in juices as Bella exploded. Bella kept riding her barely slowing down as she twitched from the waves of the orgasm.
She placed her hand on Hermione's keeping her inside but stilling her pace. She turned so she could reciprocate and once she was situated Hermione began to thrust in and out of her again. She began lick Hermione's clit as she thrust her fingers into her lover. She pushed in hard matching Hermione's pace trying to bruise her lover. She wanted her to feel the ache like last time. Hermione said she spent the day enjoying the ache of the fucking she was giving. Bella wanted Hermione to feel her love all through the battle.
Hermione was close. She pushed further into Bella she wanted her lover to come with her. She needed them to be together…to come together. She sucked hard on Bella bringing her over. Seconds later she followed. She pulled Bella up to her lips, enjoying the taste of her on her lover's lips.
"I love you my dirty mudblood."
"I love you my sweet psychopath."
She looked at her watch. It was 7:57. She nodded at Fred and George who apparated out and the apparated back in a minute later.
"Our little surprise…."
"…will go off as planned."
Everyone involved in the raid was given a time activated port key. The main forces were given small amulets and the secondary forces rings. At 8:00 pm the port keys activated and all hell broke loose.
"What the fuck are those things?" Mulciber was screaming at the Snatchers. The rest of the inner circle were ensconced in the bunker protecting the Dark Lord. He had been granted the opportunity to lead the defense against the Order. A true honor and if he succeeded it would move him to the highest position in the Dark Lord's ranks. The rockets kept shooting out from the bushes about 50 meters from the ancient castle. Fortunately there were muggle repelling and confundus charms all over the property. A gigantic castle complete with moat in the middle of battle is hard to miss in the average suburban neighborhood. The castle was located a few kilometers away from the housing development and surrounded by a small set of woods.
"We will take care of this." Greyback motion for his pack to follow and they transformed sprinting across the field towards the bushes. The pack made it across the draw bridge and about half way there when the field turned to swamp. Mulciber watched as the wolves tried to pull themselves out of the quicksand to no avail. The sound of hundreds wolves howling and whining as they sank to their deaths filled the air.
Four rockets shot up casting a solarium blast and they lost most of their vampires.
"What the fuck is going on? Get on your brooms and get at them you idiots!"
The Death Eaters and Snatchers took to the sky trying to fight off the barrage of fire being launched from the surrounding forest. They were under siege from all sides. The few who landed were blasted into pieces by some sort of explosion. For twenty minutes they remained steadily under fire. Mulciber was tired of this. He called back the Death Eaters.
Walls of fire erupted from the roof and windows of the fortress setting the entire forest ablaze. The tactic had its desired effect and the entire forest line began to explode. Whoever was within 10 meters would be incinerated. The heat and blow back from explosion reached the castle and Mulciber ducked behind the parapet to avoid the heat. There was no way the Order forces survived the blast. He signaled to the Dark Lord that it would be safe to leave the bunker.
"Stop pacing Potter. You are driving me crazy."
"Stuff it Carrow. I hate sitting here while others get to fight." Around twenty of them sat in the apparition proof, port key proof, spell proof shelter that acted as the safe room for the Dark Lord. They had been down there waiting for it to be safe enough to join the battle.
"Our time will come soon Harry. Once the majority of the attack force is whittled down we will be able to kill Albus. We will kill them all."
"What about…."
"The little Weasley girl? If you capture her alive you can do with her as you please. Torture her, rape her, give her a pony…as long as you keep her out of the way she is yours."
"Thank you my Lord." Harry smiled lasciviously. He was going to teach Ginny a lesson. She wasn't the only one that was going to learn one. Orders had been given to try and capture Hermione. The Dark Lord was going to have her finish what she started. She was going to be guest of honor at the Dark Lord's next revel and every Death Eater, Snatcher, werewolf and vampire was going to get a piece of her. His cock hardened at the thought.
"Mulciber has given the signal. The majority of the Order forces have been destroyed. Let's go."
He lead them out of the maze of corridors to the apparition point. In an hour's time the Order would be no more.
Mulciber got up on his broom and circled the fires that were burning looking for survivors. He didn't see a one. The Dark Lord would be pleased.
As he got closer he realized he had a problem. Not only were there no survivors …there were no bodies. He looked back at the castle trying to signal to the troops. Many were gathered on the draw bridges crossing the moat and some were still holding guard positions. He tried to scream but the concussion of the explosion silenced any sound he could make. He was knocked off his broom and his wand fell away. The last thing he could see as he fell into the fires below was the multiple explosions from inside and around the castle tearing through the land and the troops.
He looked down at the fire below and hoped it was the fall that killed him.
They had almost made it to the apparition point when the spells started flying at them. Voldemort screamed in anger and launched an Avada at Dumbledore who blocked it with a boulder. The two began to duel as the fight broke out around them. Harry heard screams from behind him and looked to see the Order had trapped them. They had set the exact same trap as his failed raid on the Manor capturing the Death Eaters between them and creating a wall of death on both sides. He felt blood on his face and turned to see Nott fall to Severus' Sectumsempra. Alecto charged Severus.
"You sullied my daughters you bastard!"
Severus laughed deflecting her spells and sending a few of his own back, "I assure you Alecto, your daughters were whores well before I even thought about fucking them. You always wanted them to succeed. You should be happy…I have awarded them both O's in cocksucking."
She screamed and tried to use Dolohov's curse but Severus used a protego to block the spell sending it back to her. She fell to the floor looking peaceful for the first time in her life.
Harry went to attack him but was blocked by Amycus who wanted to avenge his sister. He pushed Harry out of his way to get to Severus. Harry was knocked to the floor and rolled to see Ron and Hermione running at him blocking spells and pushing people out of the way as the cut through the battle.
"Fuck! I knew it was too easy. He said he had spies. He said he would know."
Hermione rolled her eyes, "Honestly Harry after Tonks, Remus, Seamus and Savage did you really think we trusted anyone except the inner most ranks. That's why there aren't more of us. Everyone was told Little Stempington but the port keys were keyed elsewhere. Fred and George put enough magic and gun powder together at that castle in Little Stempington that it is probably nothing but a giant crater right now. Voldemort's forces are dead Harry."
"There were three potential locations for headquarters. Little Stempington, Middleford and Midsomer. We knew you would set the trap. Voldemort took the port to test it for verituserum which it was of course heavily spiked with. If he had actually emptied the contents of the bottle completely he would have found the transmitter we put in it. I had to find a way to work around the wards at Hogwarts to be able to show my class a movie. Voldemort is a pure blood fanatic surrounded by pure blood fanatics. They don't use muggle technology so they don't ward for it. Muggle magic Harry. GPS."
"Well where are the others?"
"You mean all the Aurors and sympathizers that were loaded up with potential spies. Who knew who was aligned with which side? We just relocated them for the evening. Their port keys were set for Middleford."
"You always try to be the clever one Hermione."
"No Harry I always AM the clever one…stupify!"
"What the hell is this Ash?"
"No bloody idea. Maybe one of those renaissance fairs? Scribs go ask the guy in the purple robes."
"I am not asking them anything. They all look a bit touchy and what's with all the sticks they are carrying. If there are no bodies this isn't our problem."
They looked around at the gathering of hundreds men and women who were dressed rather bizarrely and looking confused. There was a large buffet and bar set up along with a small quartet and as far as Inspector Ashurst could see the only violation might be a permit issue.
"Oooh is that lobster?"
"Scribbs we don't have time to hit the buffet."
"I think I see a carving station."
"Ok maybe one plate."
Harry was being backed up by Ron and Hermione. Rowle tried to hex Hermione from behind but Bella blocked his hex and eviscerated him with her knife. She hadn't moved more than a meter or two away from her lover and she, Draco, Luna and Neville were acting as a guard to Ron and Hermione. The Death Eaters knew to try and protect Harry but they couldn't get through the four of them to get at Hermione and Ron. Bella saw two Death Eaters cast hexes and Hermione at the same time. She knew she couldn't shield her from both. She cast a protego deflecting one and jumped in front of the other. She felt a burn to her chest and blacked out.
Harry kept shooting stupify after stupify. He was concentrating so hard on their attack he missed Narcissa kicking out her leg and tripping him. Ron and Hermione pounced on him and poured the vial of silver liquid down his throat. He began to shake as the memories took over.
He saw them all. Hermione and Ron watching over him on his many trips to the infirmary, their concern fifth year, his time talking with Luna, Neville looking to him as an inspiration, Dumbledore's fatherly love and Minerva's protection. He felt Molly Weasley's love and concern and saw flashes of her knitting his sweaters and scarves. He saw Arthur taking on the Ministry for him time and again. He finally saw Ginny. Her hero worship and then crush, he felt and saw as it changed to love. Love for him. Even after he tried to attack her she still loved him. Even after he betrayed them they still were trying to save him. He felt the love from the memories flow into his heart and he fought for control again. He screamed as he pushed the Horcrux down and took control again.
Voldemort heard the scream and turned. He saw Harry shaking and saw who was standing over him. Hermione was lying next to him whispering in his ear as he fought Voldemort's hold. He had enough of that bitch.
"Avada Kedavra!"
It was as if time slowed down. Bellatrix had woken and saw him cast the spell but she couldn't get to her feet. Dumbledore tried to scream at Hermione to warn her but it was too late. Harry had come to and saw the curse heading towards Hermione. A second before the spell hit Harry rolled over covering her and taking the full brunt of the curse.
Bellatrix pushed up. The boy was dead, "Avada Kedavra!"
The green light shot from her wand hitting Voldemort square in the chest killing him instantly. The few remaining Death Eaters surrendered as Voldemort's body hit the ground. Their Lord was dead. It was all over.
"Harry please Harry, come back to us please. No. No." Hermione and Ron tried to heal him and Dumbledore soon joined them. He checked Harry thoroughly.
"I am sorry Hermione…Ron. He won't be coming back."
Two strong arms wrapped around Hermione as she fell into Bellatrix's arms sobbing at the loss of her friend. They tended to the wounded and mourned the dead while Kingsley called the Aurors to deal with the surviving Death Eaters.
"Take me home. I need you to take care of me."
Bella took her hand and led her out of the bunker, "Always."
Harry was given a proper funeral and the Wizarding world mourned for the famous boy who gave his life to save them. Harry was the only casualty they took that day but it was a hard loss for the magical community. No one including most of the Order ever learned about Harry's darkness or his being a Horcrux. The story was that he was undercover infiltrating Voldemort's lair and he gave the true location of where Voldemort was headquartered. Since the Death Eaters that were still alive never knew Harry was a Horcrux they couldn't refute the claim he was merely acting. The transmitter was removed from the scene before the Ministry investigators appeared. The Order might want to use that trick again and there was no reason to reveal it when wizards weren't warding for it.
Ron and Ginny were hugging as they cried at his wake and even Draco looked hurt by the loss.
"It's over." Hermione put her hand on Ron's shoulder.
Ron looked up at her, "I never thought it would end like this."
"I am going to miss him Ron…I…He was my family."
Ron wiped the tears from his eye as he pulled her in for a hug.
"Hermione, we will mourn now but remember this. He never became the man he wanted to be when he lived but at least he died as that person. He died a hero and a good man. He died as the man his parents would be proud of."
She saw Bella and Narcissa watching her from up on a hill. Everyone involved in the raid, the Malfoys included, were hailed as heroes. The secondary forces would have been miffed by the subterfuge had there not been a carving station and open bar but the deception was considered brilliant. The crater in Little Stempingford was explained away as a gas leak and apparently the town had quite the history of "gas leaks" so the muggles were none the wiser.
Bellatrix had received an Order of Merlin award along with the rest of them for "distinguished service to the Ministry" which was a nice way of saying killing lots of bad people. Kingsley had kept his word. Bellatrix was made an Unspeakable and she was the one who would do the acts that all governments do that are truly unspeakable.
Hermione was happy that it kept her darker impulses satisfied. Hermione knew Bellatrix Black was a lot of things, brilliant, powerful, kinky, bloodthirsty, and madly in love with her but she also knew the one thing her wife wasn't...reformed.

8. iTunes installation/repair syncing issues
If you continue to use Windows XP now that support has ended, your computer will still work but it might become more vulnerable to security risks and viruses. Internet Explorer 8 is also no longer supported, so if your Windows XP PC is connected to the Internet and you use Internet Explorer 8 to surf the web, you might be exposing your PC to additional threats. Also, as more software and hardware manufacturers continue to optimize for more recent versions of Windows, you can expect to encounter more apps and devices that do not work with Windows XP.
PC Repair of CT can help you with this problem.
We offer upgrades to Windows 7 and with the upgrade we can move your existing data.
Windows 7 also has the benefit of being a highly refined, complete operating system. From the start, it was a vast improvement over Windows Vista, rather than a complete reinvention that introduced new problems. And since its launch in 2009, it has received a major Service Pack upgrade and countless bug fixes. Windows 7 isn't perfect by any means, but unlike Windows 8, it doesn't feel like a work in progress.
A Steep Learning Curve for Windows 8
By comparison, Windows 8 (and the sweeping Windows 8.1 update) has a steeper learning curve. Microsoft got rid of the pop-up Start menu and replaced it with an app launcher that takes up the entire screen. This Start screen is filled with new kinds of apps that are optimized for touch interaction. While the desktop is still available, you may find yourself getting bounced back and forth between the two interfaces
The experienced technicians at PC Repair of CT can offer you solutions on which is the best product for your home or business computing needs. We provide upgrade services for Office products, AntiVirus products and more.
At PC Repair of CT, all diagnostics are FREE. CAll us today and get your computer to operate to your standards and keep yourself current with today's technology.

Energy and Global Warming News for June 4th: Clean energy funding trumps fossil fuels for first time, Climate change threatens Mideast stability
Clean Energy Funding Trumps Fossil Fuels
Global investors spent about $250 billion building new power capacity in 2008, and for the first time the lion's share of that money went to renewable sources, according to the United Nations Environment Program.
Renewable sources accounted for 56 percent of investment dollars, worth $140 billion, while investment in fossil fuel technologies was $110 billion, the U.N. program said in a report, Global Trends in Sustainable Energy Investment 2009, released on Wednesday and produced in collaboration with New Energy Finance, a research company based in London.
Here is the full study, "Global Trends in Sustainable Energy Investment."
The U.N. report highlighted how investment in developing countries in 2008 had surged forward by 27 percent to $36.6 billion, and now accounted for nearly one third of global investments. "Bright points" last year included the growth of wind power in China and a rise in spending on geothermal energy in countries including Australia, Japan and Kenya, according to Achim Steiner, the executive director of the United National Environment Program.
Brazil, Chile, Peru and the Philippines had brought in, or were poised to introduce, policies and laws fostering clean energy, he said. China led new investment in Asia while Brazil accounted for almost all renewable energy investment in that region.
Climate change threatens Mideast stability: study
Climate change could spark "environmental wars" in the Middle East over already scarce water supplies and dissuade Israel from any pullout from occupied Arab land, an international report said on Tuesday.
Almost 10 years of failed peace talks between Syria and Israel have focused on water in and around the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. The vital resource is also a point of conflict between Israel and Palestinians seeking a state.
Regarding the Syria-Israel dispute, the report said Israeli concerns about "food security and reduced agricultural productivity could shift the strategic calculation on whether to withdraw" from the Golan Heights, occupied in a 1967 war.
"The expectation of coming environmental wars might imply that the way to deal with shrinking resources is to increase military control over them," said the Danish-funded study by the International Institute for Sustainable Development, an independent organization headquartered in Canada.
The Golan supplies 30 percent of the water for the Lake of Galilee, Israel's main water reservoir.
Regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the report said sea-level rises as a result of climate change threatened to contaminate Gaza's sole aquifer supplying 1.5 million Palestinians in the territory.
Student invents solar tower storage system
Claus Volkening, 23, of the University of Portsmouth, has designed and laboratory-tested a solar updraft tower that uses water storage tanks to solve the problem of existing solar power plants which only generate electricity when the sun shines.
Existing solar updraft towers work by collecting heat energy from the sun and sending the warm air up through a tower which houses a turbine. Volkening's model siphons off some of this energy and uses it to heat water – energy which is later released to keep the turbine turning at night.
The nascent biochar industry"¦ plans to sequester vast quantities of carbon in soil using an ancient Amazonian agricultural practice and to sell the latent emissions as credits on a global carbon market.
The concept is simple: if terra preta "" or charcoal-enriched soil "" was re-created globally, as much as 6 billion tonnes of CO2 could be prevented from entering the atmosphere annually, a substantial fraction of the 8-10 billion tonnes emitted each year by humans. Proponents, who include no small number of world-class climate scientists, say that burying biochar not only would slow the rate of warming, it would enhance soil fertility "" and the charcoal-making process could produce sustainable biofuels to boot.
Small islands win UN vote on climate change security
Small Pacific islands vulnerable to rising sea levels won a symbolic victory at the United Nations on Wednesday with the passage of a resolution recognizing climate change as a possible threat to security.
The non-binding resolution, passed by consensus by the General Assembly, may help put climate change on the agenda of the more powerful U.N. Security Council, which deals with threats to international peace and security.
Climate Bill Earmarks $500M for Clean Coal 'Admin Expenses'
Rep. Rick Boucher (D-Va.) has been trying for the past year to get Congress to set up an independent corporation dedicated to clean coal development. He introduced the Carbon Capture and Storage Early Deployment Act (HR 6258), which provoked some hearings in 2008, but it went nowhere and died. So this spring he reintroduced the bill, virtually unchanged (HR 1689).
What happened next is further proof of the enormous leverage Boucher wields as a coal state Democrat in shaping national climate legislation.
His bill was incorporated wholesale as pages 52-75 into the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (ACES), the climate bill Reps. Henry Waxman and Ed Markey are shepherding through the House.
Changing Climate Likely To Make 'Super Weed' Even More Powerful
Researchers at the University of Delaware have discovered a new reason why the tall, tasseled reed Phragmites australis is one of the most invasive plants in the United States.
The UD research team found that Phragmites delivers a one-two chemical knock-out punch to snuff out its victims, and the poison becomes even more toxic in the presence of the sun's ultraviolet rays.
Forest carbon market already shows cracks
A forest carbon market is emerging in anticipation of a global, U.N. climate deal in December in Copenhagen, expected to allow rich countries to pay to protect rainforests as a cheap alternative to cutting their own greenhouse gases.
Officials in Papua New Guinea (PNG) have underlined how things may go awry.
Reuters has uncovered evidence of a multi-million-dollar offer of assistance from carbon brokers to a government agency, and confusion over whether offset sales were from valid projects.
"¦But development and environment groups have long warned that suddenly placing a big value on rainforests could spur friction and even conflict in some developing nations, because of uncertain tenure rights, corruption and inadequate policing.

Um, regarding the biochar story: They seem to suggest it could take up 60-75% of annual anthropogenic emissions, but they're saying humans emit 8-10 gigatons of CO2 annually. Is it me, or are they confusing CO2 total mass with carbon equivalent? If memory serves, the former is closer to 30 gigatons. If we're comparing apples to apples, the POTENTIAL would be 20%, assuming they're accurately gauging how much long-term sequestration can occur, including in temperate region soils.
Good news on renewables but to every yin there's a yang. It looks like the tar sands project is coming back.
Alex J: You're right, worldwide CO2 emissions are right around 30GT/yr.

Biochar detail suggestion:
Step 1. Outlaw the burning of leaves
Step 2. Collect the leaves and make them into charcoal. Be sure the gasses driven off are completely burned. Partly burned pyro-proteins are the cause of huge allergy problems.
You now have a lot of that biochar you wanted and not a lot of smoke we didn't want.
Nature takes a lot of CO2 out of the air for us and most of us put it right back by burning the leaves. Proposals have been made to mechanically remove CO2 from the air and sequester it. That would be very expensive. It would be much cheaper to outlaw leaf burning and also healthier because leaf smoke causes respiratory problems and cancer. Collecting leaves is something that cities do anyway, but they do it half-heartedly. A really activist leaf collection program along with local charcoal making and careful complete burning of the gasses driven off kills 3 birds with one stone: It ends health problems, it improves air quality and it removes CO2 permanently from the air.
Testing, testing.
OK, looks like I'm getting through.
Hi ecostew-
Good link, your Science Daily link, and an interesting result – all the carbon counts. Their combined model that includes most of the major factors including economic decisions seems like a really good way to approach this complex problem.
I don't think that any of the current modeling except that done by a few investigators like Read and his collaborators and the Norwegian/Russian Bellona Foundation includes carbon negative bioenergy, though, combining biomass with carbon sequestration.
Those models that do include carbon negative bioenergy ideas show much more rapid declines in CO2 than do other models, though.
Biochar might be what saves us, but more likely the abiliy of CCS to sequester carbon for thousands or millions of years will be more decisive than the ability of biochar to sequester carbon for tens or hundreds of years.
If every coal fired power plant on the planet were converted to biocarbon plus sequestration, and all other power sources were converted to near carbon neutrality, we could put about 6 billion tons of carbon- not CO2- per year back underground.
And yes, there is enough biomass. ORNL estimates biomass yearly energy productivity as 6 times more than our entire worldwide energy production, including coal, oil, natural gas and hydropower energy production.

What will Christmas be for you?
A deadline or a season?
Maybe you can do some good
for an irreligious reason.
If you can handle yuletide occasions with planning and perfection as the experts recommend, you're blessed. If there's a sort of dread or fear or depression - if it's just another Dec. 25 like all the others when you didn't get a Shetland pony, maybe you can grow up in time for Christmas 2002.
You have only hours now to meet that Christmas deadline on Tuesday. It's likely too late to change for this year, but here's a suggestion for the next one: Observe the season - not just the day - of Christmas. Stretch gift-giving to Twelfth Night, Jan. 5, or the Feast of the Epiphany, Jan. 6.
The right reason for this move is to give you the opportunity to delay or to ignore frenzied shopping and wrapping and shipping so you can concentrate on Dec. 25 on the joy of the celebration of the birth of Jesus. The wrong reason is merely to extend your shopping days, to take advantage of post-Christmas sales or to avoid enforced listening to "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," although those ignoble motives could improve your December disposition.
Dr. Drew Pinsky, columnist for the USA Weekend insert in our Dec. 16 Globe-News, writes that there are lots of psychological factors that come into play during the holidays that can lead to disappointment and a blue mood amid the red-and-green festivities.
The National Mental Health Association suggests, "Try celebrating the holidays in a new way."
You can dig deep into past traditions and emerge with either a spiritual or secular rationale for the extension into January. There was a time when Christmas arrived with solemnity and angels and when Epiphany meant bright lights and parties and gift-giving. Now these two holy days seem to have been combined and compressed.
Twelfth Night celebrations flourished during Elizabethan times as the last evening of the Christmas Season. Jan. 6 at one time meant taking down the Christmas tree and finishing the gift-giving.
You can credit those kings on the camels who show up on Christmas cards and in manger scenes. The idea is that they were a little late in finding the Holy Infant born on Dec. 25. They didn't deliver their age-inappropriate gifts until Jan. 6, when we celebrate their arrival as the manifestation of Christ to the gentiles.
If you're too skeptical to take that approach, try the old song about the partridge in a pear tree that winds down with 11 pipers piping and 12 drummers drumming. A fancy cake and an honorary king and queen go with each Twelfth Night party. (Remember Shakespeare's play called "Twelfth Night"?)
When New Testament details are missing, tradition leaps into the vacuum. Hundreds of years ago the Magi or wise men got named. Now in story and, most memorably in song, they're known as "three kings from Orient." They're named Caspar (king of Tarsus, who brings myrrh), Melchior (King of Arabia, who brings gold), and Balthazar (King of Saba, who brings frankincense). Their nationalities come from Psalm 72:10-11.
That's not all we get from tradition. Legend says St. Thomas found them in India and baptized them. Later they became martyrs and were buried in the walls of Jerusalem.
Their relics, says tradition, were taken to Constantinople by Constantine's mother, St. Helena, moved to Milan in the fifth century, and then to Cologne during the Crusades.
Although the Gospel of Matthew gives us no names, no date, and no number of Magi, and astronomers still argue about the "star" they followed - a comet, a stella nova, or a conjunction of planets - and geographers still guess how long a camel-trip from Persia to Bethlehem would take, tradition has offered the number of three wise men, their names, and their Jan. 6 arrival date.
Anglicans, Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholics celebrate Jan. 6. In the fourth century, it was considered by Egyptian monasteries to be Jesus' birthday.
In earlier years, pagans celebrated Dec. 25 as the birthday of the sun. A family I know in Canyon chooses to do the gift-swapping on Dec. 21, the winter solstice, and leave Dec. 25 for a religious occasion. Other friends have declared - based on stressful experience and maxed-out credit cards - a "giftless Christmas," except for the gift of the Holy Child of Bethlehem. None of these thoughtful persons is a Grinch or an Ebenezer Scrooge.
It's not an either-or deal. See? In this world today, plenty of people - and some Christian faiths - do their gifting in a different way on a different day.
These are people, like the wise men, from outside the ancient covenant with the people of Israel. Like us, they are foreigners and strangers who pay homage to the Jewish baby.
The Feast of Epiphany, Jan. 6, not only marks the end of the season of Christmas, but the beginning of its own season. As the light of the sun strengthens and lengthens each day of the Epiphany season, the light of Christ reaches ever further into our hearts and the hearts of the world - even into its most troubled corners.
We have met the Magi - and they is "us." (Thank you, Pogo.)
Easy on the eggnog - and spread that Epiphany light!

To the Editor:
As a resident in the Dahlgren district I am writing with grave concerns about the proposed design changes to the intersection of Owens Drive and Rt 206, Dahlgren Road, and Rt 218.
As the intersection is currently configured, it is becoming increasingly dangerous as traffic loads seem to grow every month. I personally have witnessed several very serious accidents. The number of near misses is also very high, as drivers are forced to take chances to enter or cross traffic. It has become a game of chicken to see who is bravest to jump first, a driver crossing or turning on to 206.
The proposed addition of turn lanes will only make these actions more dangerous. Instead of solving any problems, these lanes will only create greater distances and more lanes of traffic to 'read' as the driver decides on a window of opportunity to move through traffic.
As a driver of 35 plus years, I find myself avoiding this intersection unless I am leaving my home to make a right turn to 206 west. As an experienced driver I am teaching my 15 year old son the skill of driving. My husband and I make every effort to avoid exposing our son, ourselves and other drivers to situations where his inexperience causes undue risk. Imagine the driver who shares his inexperience, who is late for work, impaired of vision or mobility, limited by age or distraction or fatigue. Driving is an offensive and defensive skill. With all these factors converging where congestion and lane configuration are already creating undue risk it baffles me to think adding more lanes is considered the best solution.
My mother was killed in an auto/pedestrian accident in a situation where a car was sitting in a left turn lane and she stepped into the path of a car. A well-meaning driver waiting to turn left waved her across and into the path of a family on their way to church. This was a four lane divided highway with left and right turn lanes. Had there been a light and a pedestrian crossing she could have arrived home safely with her groceries.
As you can imagine traffic safety is a very personal and important topic in our family. We recognize the responsibility that comes with driving. On behalf of my family I implore the members of the Board of Supervisors to ask VDOT to reconsider the addition of turn lanes at the intersection of 206, 218 and Owens Drive. As residents who use this intersection daily our family of six drivers all feel turn lanes would only increase the danger for those trying to cross or enter traffic on 206 from Owens Drive or 218 where a left turn is required. As it is now drivers pass illegally on the right as cars wait to turn. There is no question that changes must be made before more accidents occur. However, adding turn lanes without signals would only increase the danger.
As Dahlgren continues to grow traffic counts will rise. I implore the Board and VDOT to work collaboratively to diminish the dangers to drivers. For the safety of people who live and work here please do not add turn lanes. Adding turn lanes would help keep traffic flowing on 206. Thus 206 traffic will move through this intersection faster. This, in turn, will create a greater probability of accidents, injury and death for drivers entering or crossing traffic on Owens Drive and 218.
Statistical data aside, please drive this intersection yourselves and experience firsthand the perils drivers face here daily. The busy morning and afternoon rush of traffic heading to and from work are especially daunting.
In this case more isn't better. Please do not add additional lanes without traffic signals to reduce the risks drivers must take here each and every day.
Betty Grigg,
King George

Deep web
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
|Notice to Party Van Fans: All information here was found on online forums and via google, I am not the guy you're looking for thx
The Deep Web (also called the Deepnet, the Invisible Web, the Undernet, the Dark Web, the Darknet, or the hidden Web), is a part of the internet that is not indexed by standard search engines (more evidence that Google is a shit and never shows us the cool sites), or is sometimes only accessible to people who know the secret method of which to access it. It is estimated that the deep Web consists of about 7,500 terabytes of information and it is estimated that there are about 300,000 deep web sites on the net. That's a lot of porn
Types of Deep Websites
There are 2 types of deep web sites
Contents of the deep web
Illegal porn that anyone in their right mind should never want to see
- Child Porn
- Snuff Films
- Rape Porn
- Revenge Porn
- Zoophilia
- Necrophilia
- Necropedozoophilia Porn
- And so on...
Selling and buying of illegal goods
Blogs and sites of basement-dwellers and random videos
- Emo kid suicide videos
- Hacker IRC channels
- Script kiddie forums
- Virus info, virus downloads, virus tutorials
- Videos of US soldiers shitting on Afghan civilians, kicking their heads in and pissing on them while they are on the ground, all whilst accusing them of being terrorists then singing about American democracy, liberty, equality and the respect of human rights
Selling and buying of illegal and bizarre services
- Hit-men for hire
- Anorexic Vietnamese bitches who will have kinky sex with you
- Travel agencies for illegal immigrants
- Politicians, judges for hire
Some famous deep websites
In this section ED would like to introduce you to some deep web sites and some dark surface web sites. Sounds fun doesn't it?
The Hidden Wiki
The Hidden Wiki is quite similar to Wikipedia, but not really. While Wikipedia is used mostly for educational and intellectual purposes (read by nolifes), the Hidden Wiki exists for far more exciting purposes. For example, there is an article on the hidden wiki which serve as a how-to guide on kidnapping an individual as well as external links. There are links to websites such as a forums where you can hire an actual hitman - whom you can also pay online via PayPal: Thank modern technology for making our lives easier. To access it you need to use TOR, not THOR from Avengers, but a web browsing software created by pedophiles for pedophiles. It changes and hides your IP address, which is quite useful since the FBI is monitoring the hidden wiki, and hunts down everyone who connects it (except their own horny agents).
Silk Road
The Silk Road is like Ebay, except that it is not run by Jews and it has a better design. It is probably run by some Arab guys who are bored as fuck because they have so much money that they couldn't spend it all even if they burned $1000 every time a politician lies, so they created this page to have some excitement in their pointless lives. It seems like you can't buy tiger dicks or even rhino sperm here (so it's basically useless), resulting from the fact that Asians don't really use this site.
Posts like this are common and often answered, therefore it is likely that there are many gypsies viewing it who would like to go to America, because they have a misconception that every uneducated person is welcome there and can earn good money.
Legal sites
This is a list of some websites that a mentally stable human with normal sexual behaviors should never visit more than once in his or her total lifetime.
- 4chan
- Bestgore
- Offended
- Punishtube
- Two girls one finger - don't watch this)

"Her books and talks influenced me as a young wife and mother," writes Jennifer in GA. "I am a better woman, period, because of her."
Sheri Dew, president CEO of Deseret Book, observed that "Sister Okazaki had a unique style and distinctive gift for connecting with her audience — in both the written and spoken word. She was a master in drawing upon her own experiences in such a way that almost anyone could relate. Her success as an author was an outgrowth of her abilities as a speaker. No doubt she will be missed by many."
She also delivered what some consider a landmark 1992 talk on healing from sexual abuse that became a best-selling tape for Deseret Book (Deseret Book and the Deseret News are both owned by Deseret Media Companies) in 1993 and that she gave again at BYU in 2002.
Despite having to share their mother with so many others, Kenneth said that he and his brother Robert "always knew that, together with our Dad, we were her highest priority."
Others who knew her confirm her devotion to her family.
"She just delighted in her family," Smith said. "You could just see it and feel it whenever she spoke of them — which was frequently. I never met Ed — he had passed away by the time I knew Sister Okazaki — but she spoke of him with such tenderness and clarity, I have a feeling that if I meet him on the other side, I'll know him immediately."
"Ed" was her husband, Edward, whom she met when both were students at the University of Hawaii. Although he was not a member of the LDS Church at the time they were married, she said in an interview at the time she was called to the general Relief Society presidency that she knew him to be "a good man and a strong Christian." Edward was a decorated World War II veteran who joined the church 10 months after they were married and went on to become one of the first LDS mission presidents in Japan. Together the Okazakis had two sons and now, four grandchildren.
"She adored those grandchildren," Kenneth said. "Her eyes would just light up whenever she spoke of them."
Her love of children probably had something to do with her choice of careers. As an educator she taught elementary school in Hawaii, Salt Lake City and Denver. She also spent 10 years as an elementary school principal.
As a convert to the church (she was raised in a Buddhist family) and a person of Asian ethnicity, Sister Okazaki was unusual among the general leadership ranks of the LDS Church. Within the pages of her books she speaks openly of experiencing the sting of racism, the frustration of infertility, the pain and fear of cancer and the heart-wrenching death of her beloved spouse. Through it all, she said in 1990, "the Lord has been good to me. He has given me a lot of direction and guidance in my life. Now I want to do whatever I can to return my thanks to him."
Funeral services for Sister Okazaki are scheduled for Aug. 10 at 11 a.m. At the Holladay South Stake Center, 4917 S. Viewmont Street.
Quotes from Sister Okazaki's books:
"Perfect people don't need a Savior. He came to save his people in their imperfections. He is the Lord of the living, and the living make mistakes. He's not embarrassed by us, angry at us, or shocked. He wants us in our brokenness, in our unhappiness, in our guilt and our grief." — "Lighten Up!"
"In principle great clarity, in practice great charity."
"If we don't have time for masterpiece moments, the very reason we came to earth is being wasted on us." — "Being Enough"
"There's not just one right way to be a Mormon woman . . .as long as we are firmly grounded in faith in the Savior, make and keep covenants, live the commandments, and work together in charity. All of us face different family circumstances and home situations. All of us need strength in dealing with them. This strength comes from faith in the Savior's love and in the power of his atonement. If we trustingly put our hand in the Savior's, we can claim the promise of the sacramental prayer to always have his Spirit with us. All problems are manageable with that strength, and all other problems are secondary in urgency to maintaining a strong spiritual life." — October General Conference, 1993
"Part of [our] hope in Christ is hope in the future, a future that includes resurrection and salvation and exaltation. He is my hope on rainy Monday mornings, my hope on dark nights, and my hope in the face of death and despair." — October General Conference, 1996

Converting java Api inorder to work with them in .net application.
May 1, 2008 4:00 PM
Hello everyone,
I have a Java API - and I want to connect to this API's from my .net Application.
I need the connection to be fast and very easy to use with the JAVA API's.
If you worked in that combinations I would be glad to hear with which components.
So far I know some products that have bridges for JAVA - COM - if you have some experience on that issues I will be glad to hear - with what exact products did you worked with and is it fast one?
Other product is IKVM - JVM in .net - if you have some experience on that issues I will be glad to hear too.
If you have worked with other products then the mentioned above it would be great to know.
Thanks ,
Michael Bogatin
