Mr. Bryan Adams, O.C., O.B.C.
c/o Mr. Bruce Allen
Suite 520 - 425 Carrall Street
Vancouver, BC
Dear Mr. Adams,
I am writing to you with regard to your planned performance on October 28, 2011 in the city of Lviv, Ukraine at the opening ceremony for the Lviv football stadium for the Euro-2012 football championship, alongside the event's reported attendance of Ukraine's current President Viktor Yanukovych.
While you have been to Ukraine to perform in the past, there are a few things I am certain you stand for as a Canadian and as a member of the Order's of Canada and British Columbia and that you should be made aware of. These are matters which not only disturbing to me as a fellow Canadian, and should be to you, but also to Members of Canada's Parliament, as well as the close to 1.25 million Canadians of Ukrainian descent.
Mr. Bernard Trottier (Riding of Etobicoke—Lakeshore, Conservative Party of Canada) made the following statement to our Parliament earlier this week:
"Mr. Speaker, recently we have seen some very troubling events take place in Ukraine. The persecution, arrest and continued detention of Yulia Tymoshenko, along with many others, are cause for great concern both in Canada as well as in the international community….These apparently politically-motivated actions undermine the rule of law and human rights, which are at the core of all democracies. The Ukrainian people, having long lived under the rule of regressive and undemocratic Soviet policies, will not accept a return to darker times. Ukrainians deserve to live in a peaceful and prosperous society, where they can enjoy the same freedoms and safeties seen across other western nations."
Now, while it can be understood that political rivalries within a country may not be of direct concern to you as a musician asked to perform in that country, and despite the fact that the handling of Ukraine's two opposition leaders' (Ms. Tymoshenko's and Mr. Lutsenko's) "trials" as well as the conditions of their imprisonment could all be reason enough to reconsider any dealings with Ukraine's current regime by any Western activist or institution, given the political nature of these particular cases, I shall focus instead on just a few examples amongst the plethora of other examples of serious ethical, political, administrative and humanitarian wrongdoings in Ukraine directly related to Mr. Yanukovych's regime as well as to the preparations of the Euro 2012 football championship in Ukraine, and in the City of Lviv in particular.
The first example is the completely corrupt tender process that the municipal officials in Lviv ran for the building of the stadium, where they announced a financial tender which was to be awarded to the company that could finance building the new stadium and its infrastructure without burdening the local economy and population. The tender was awarded to a company that had no financing and was eventually given to a Ukraine based company to be fully financed at the tax payer's expense. When the rest of the world is trying to be frugal, the powers that be in Ukraine continue to try to squeeze the most out of their populace, only exacerbating the country's deepening economic and societal crisis.
Regarding the building of the stadium, workers who were hired to do so were not paid for four months, and then the company that they were employed for was folded, and they were left without four months of wages. To this day they have not seen compensation for their labor. A lavish opening ceremony of this stadium will be just another blow to the dignity of these workers and their families.
What you will be paid for your performance, is not clean money. It is money that has been stolen from the population and the municipal and national budgets through deep-rooted schemes of endemic corruption, by officials who from day one of the tournament's announcement have done everything possible to reap personal advantage of this landmark event in every imaginable way. Improvements to the quality of life of the people in the host-cities of the Euro 2012, i.e. creation of job opportunities, economic growth and capital inflow are all a fairy tale that even pre-school kids will not believe anymore.
However, the problems in Ukraine are much deeper than a systematically corrupted and economically ruinous mismanagement of the preparations to the Euro-2012 football championship. There is a constantly growing opposition in all spheres of society to the current regime - a regime that cannot be labeled as anything else but criminal. This opposition is being answered to with increasingly worrisome methods. Among many other unnamed instances, this year's Amnesty International Report on Ukraine is filled with unaddressed cases of unlawful detainment, torture and ill-treatment of protesters and students that stood up on various occasions to voice their opinion against the current regime represented by Mr. Yanukovych.
Back in July, Sting canceled a concert in Kazakhstan over claims of human rights violations on oil workers in that country. I believe that the current situation in Ukraine gives many more reasons for the same kind of action.
As a fellow Canadian, I would very much like you to reconsider whether you will play in Lviv or not. I know that there are plenty of other performing artists out there who would support you in your stand. A stand which would be just, regarding the current state of affairs in a country with an extremely fragile democracy, and which is turning into a police state run by a few who care very little about those they were elected to represent. I call on you and anyone who believes in democracy to boycott all events related to the Euro-2012 Football Championships in Ukraine.

Jon, I also like orisinal, surely no surprise there. It would however be much easier to repurpose the interface and games, if they were in SVG. perhaps arguably more accessible too. Is there any benefit to orisinal being in flash? you seem to suggest there might be. thanks Jonathan Chetwynd http://www.peepo.co.uk "A web by people with learning difficulties"Received on Tuesday, 25 November 2003 04:40:48 UTC

Anime LA 2009.
January 5, 2009 at 11:43 pm Leave a comment
Hey, I'll give you all the stars in the sky.
Darling, turn my way, let our eyes meet.
Darling, let's make a secret just between us two.
Darling Star.
Hello! Nosukii here.Finally making time for a post. Depending on how long this thing is, I might break it up. And my laptop decided to fail on me after Comiket so I'm super sad. 😦 I have to do all my stuff on my brother's computer for a while. But I'll try my best to get out what I can. So, Let's get started shall we?
Alright! Well, I haven't gotten around to downloading all the new Touhou albums as of yet. BUT! From all the ones I heard they were all pretty awesome. To be honest, I wasn't expecting a good release from SOUNDHOLIC, just because their last one was pretty dissappointing. I was extremely surprised to hear a really good one. Haha, but that's good. Everyone seem to have stepped up their game for C75. Also, I really enjoyed how Masayoshi Minoshima, REDALiCE and Tsukasa did a trio of albums. Those were good…IOSYS' release. Lol, what can I say. I love IOSYS and this album was just awesome. And funny. Thriller parody? Haha
But I think..out of all the ones I've heard…I really liked Yellow Zebra's release. Especially their track called [Darling Star]. It's probably my favorite off of the entire album. XD
Ohhhh wow. Well, this yeah was 10000000x better than last years. I can tell you that much. Well, I guess it depends how you look at it. Last year it rained, this year it was sunny. Which was good becuse I pretty much froze up on day One. But, let's break this up into days.
Uh where to begin. Oh yes, the parking lot. LOL. Kind of awkward. When we pulled in, there were like..5 buses of old people. LOL and I was in my Mizuhashi Parsee[touhou] cosplay already…Which is pretty distracting. I almost didn't want to wear it because I thought it was too busy and that people would stare. But in any case, I didn't regret it. Maybe a little. Just because it was cold as hell and my skirt rode up all the time. 😦 Hmm..What else. Oh, well for the first time we watched Cosplay Chess. It was pretty interesting, but cold as hell. So we went inside. Oh I also met Lisu…uh..would it be met? I met him before. But…yeah anyways, I think you get the point. Yeah. LOL. There was alot of doing nothing. Lots of walking. And Starbucks.
You know, I really love Starbucks but now that I look back on it…I kinda feel sick. Haha, maybe a coffee a day wasn't such a good idea. But it was the only warm thing I could get my hands on. :< But anyways~ We went home early that day. And I'm semi-glad we did because previous to that, I only had about 2 hours of sleep for the previous 2 days. Isn't that awesome? Yeah. no.
OH YEAH, that's right. Probably the highlight of Friday. I ran into a Kagamine Len cosplayer who said Parsee was her favorite. ❤ Just a little shout-out if you ever run into this blog. I love you! XD And the guy that passed me and "Yukkuri Shiteite ne!". He came out of nowhere. I had my Marisa Yukkuri with me that day so yeah. :3
This…was probably the best day out of the entire con. I was genderswapped Komeiji Satori from Touhou. You know, being Satori was fun but there were so many cosplay malfunctions. For one, I bound my chest for the first time in over a year. And it hurt. I had to fix it a million times until I just got fed up and pinned it…to my bra. >.> And then, I actually had wires around me so I couldn't bring my jacket and my sleeves were pulled up. So that sucked cause it was cold. And the wires kept getting stuck on things too. My eye that was on my shirt came off. Luckily there was a costume repair station or that would've been so sad. And Masq. line was sooo looooong. Oh and I pretty much spent the day with Lisu[genderswapped Alice] and his brother. If you're reading this now, sorry if I'm annoying. I'm probably more of a bother than I think I am. ;^; But yeah, we waited in line for forever. They played with bean bags and..cups..and..I don't know. Lol, what boredom brings. And then we(me and my brother) had to go home at around 9PM so we didn't get to see everything. Pretty much went to sleep after that.
Oh and I had my brother's Reimu Yukkuri that day. XD Surprisingly, alot more people asked about it Sat. than Friday.
WOOO. Okay, well. I went back to being a girl. Haha. I was Madotsuki from Yume Nikki. AND AND AND Just a quick shout-out, but I never got your name, and if you're reading this I just want to let you know that you made my day. He was at the One Piece gathering as Brook. And you were one of the only ones who knew I was Madotsuki. The first person. I love you. XD I was spending the morning sad that nobody knew and then you came up. Haha. But Sunday was pretty much just spending time with friends thing. We did a mini-shoot in the parking lot for Madotsuki and took lots of random pictures here and there. It was fun. Lots of bonding happened. Oh except my knife broke two times. That kinda sucked. By the end of the night I didn't care anymore and I just broke it myself. LOL
That was pretty much sunday. I miss my group already. XD It was so fun just hanging around with each other and…man-hunting. LOL!!
And that'd wrap up ALA. There were some…extremely personal things that I can't post here so yeah. I posted them in my facebook. XD That's about it.
As for pictures, my friend is still uploading them so..I'll update this really really soon with pictures. ❤ Even though this post is looooong enough.
As I said before. Uploading slowly. Here's a few now:
Also, I had a few more but…Gwaahhh. I hate candid shots…so…much… ;^;

A mystery: At first blush, Israel's irritation with the European Union is perfectly understandable. The EU has informed Israel that it must explicitly state that any EU-Israel partnership agreements are not applicable to the West Bank, Gaza or East Jerusalem. The new guidelines restrict any scientific collaboration, investment or the awarding of grants to institutions with direct or indirect ties with settlements in the three named areas. That is the sharpest practical rebuke to its settlement program that has been levied against Israel.
Practical? Well, for example, Israel is the only non-EU country invited to join in Horizon2020, a seven-year EU research and development project. Its participation would cost Israel some 600 million Euros — and would return to Israel about 900 million Euros. But Israel's stated umbrage at the EU guidelines suggests that it may refuse to enter into any agreement if that agreement incorporates the guidelines. As important, according to Ruth Arnon, president of the Israel Academy of Sciences, "Giving up on Israel's participation in the program would be an irreversible step that would do significant damage to Israeli universities and industry."
One measure of the importance of the relationship between Israel and the EU is that Israel receives more research grants per capita from the EU than any other country. Ah, you are thinking, that is because Israel is so much smaller than the EU countries; per capita is therefore the wrong way to count. But: Israel's population is about 8 million — while some EU members are much smaller. Cyprus is a shade over 1 million. Croatia logs in at 4.5 million, Estonia at 1.3 million. Bulgaria, at 7.6 million, is only a tad smaller; Denmark stands at 5.6 million, Finland at 5.3 million, Ireland at 4.5 million, Latvia at 2.3, Lithuania at 0.3, Luxembourg at 0.5, Malta at 0.4 and Slovakia at 5.4. The EU has 28 members; Israel, in terms of population, is larger than 12 of them. We are so accustomed to thinking of Israel as tiny that such figures may well come as a shock.
There is, in fact, a still more interesting footnote to the story, one that renders Israel's sharp response to the EU a bit mysterious. In 1972, the United States-Israel Binational Science Foundation was established as the main body promoting scientific cooperation between the U.S. and Israel. The BSF is a major player — some would say the major player — in encouraging scientific cooperation between Israeli and American scientists. It has awarded nearly $500 million to fund 7400 scientists working on 4000 research projects at 375 institutions. It disburses roughly $15 million annually. And right there on its web page, in the section on eligibility, it says, "According to agreements between the U.S. and Israeli governments, projects sponsored by the Foundation may not be conducted in geographic areas which came under the administration of the Government of Israel after June 5, 1967 and may not relate to subjects primarily pertinent to such areas."
In other words, the boycotting of the West Bank — of all territory beyond the Green Line, which was the de facto pre-1967 border — has had ample precedent. And it has been accepted almost routinely by Israel itself, notwithstanding a 2011 law that prohibits participation in such boycotts. That law, called the Law Preventing Harm to the State of Israel by Means of Boycott, defines a boycott against the State of Israel as deliberately avoiding economic, cultural or academic ties with another person or body solely because of their affinity with the State of Israel, one of its institutions or an area under its control, in such a way that may cause economic, cultural or academic damage. Violation of the law is a civil (not criminal) offense, but the person who commits such an offense is liable not only for actual but also for punitive damages that are independent of the actual damage, if any, caused.
In response, Americans for Peace Now (of which I am a proud board member) has formally declared that it will boycott products made in settlements, as has its sister organization, Shalom Achshav, in Israel. But there is, of course, a slippery slope problem here: What can we say to those on the Left who move beyond calls for boycott, who endorse disinvestment and sanctions? And what do we say to those on the right, who refuse to treat Jewish West Bank projects — e.g., the city of Ariel — as different in any way from cities within the Green Line? (According to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he of no preconditions, "Israel will remain in Ariel forever.")
Life is, alas, full of slippery slopes. The antidote? Check Google listing for anti-slip shoes. (I just did, and found 5,130,000 entries.) Myself, I do not call for a boycott of Ariel; like many in Israel's cultural community, I just won't go there.

|One of our customers made this receiving blanket and dolls for her grandchild. Can you imagine - What a treat to grow up with soft luxurious flannels! Just right for a precious baby. Below please enjoy her letter to Suzan, the co-owner and tireless director of Stonemountain & Daughter Fabrics!
Hi Suzan,
My friend Wendy who works with you introduced me to Stonemountain Fabrics and helped me select some gorgeous flannel to make receiving blankets for my first grandchild. The fabric had to be nothing but the best, which you have in abundance. I fell in love with artful, fun patterns you carry.
When I had some remnants of the fabric left after making the two blankets I couldn't bear not using them for part of my gift. Thus were born the two dolls. They were the hit of the baby shower and my daughter-in-law was especially crazy about the yellow blanket with the little lambs frolicking all around.
Thanks so much for the inspiring fabric which brought about a fun and lasting memory for our family.
Sincerely, Carole
This eye-catching vintage pattern from the mid-century is named for the diamond shaped inserts at the waistline.
This is a housedress - with an invisible zipper at center front.
The original pattern suggests cotton, linen, rayon or wool. These cotton fabrics from our Asian Collection would be great for this dress. They are just charming!
Here is a picture of the whole dress. Gorgeous!
Do you recognize Decades of Style's elegantly stylish model?
Continue reading to find out!
Victoria Jarvis, our buyer at Stonemmountain & Daughter made this adorably cute and sassy dress from Colette patterns.
It rocks!
She has a knack for using really usual prints in stunning ways.
Very bold and daring and works amazingly well.
Here is the cotton she used and another she recommends trying!
Are you bold enough?
In this class learn when to use different seam finishes to add a professional look to your garments. Begin with a basic plain seam and advance to Flat-felled, French and Welt seams.
Hand stitching is important to creating quality sewing details. Basting stitch, backstitch, slipstitch, fell stitch and attaching buttons, hooks, and eyes, are among techniques taught.
Here's a new quilt for students of ALL levels.
It's fun, fast, and always unique! You take 5 minutes, select 5 fabrics, and create a quilt top in about 5 hours.
This pattern is addictive and makes wonderful gifts.
And, it's a Stash Buster!
Stonemountain & Daughter Fabrics is owned by Bob and Suzan Steinberg. This father and daughter team are the third and fourth generations in the fabric industry in the state of California! Their history extends from 1919 Los Angeles to the Psychedelic 60s to their much beloved Berkeley store.
Many Thanks and Well Wishes From Our Family To Yours.
Celebrating Fabric and Sewing throughout the Generations!

Surprisingly located in an old fashioned neighborhood of Escondido, Bellamy's is some of the best food in San Diego. With first class staff and a rich cuisine, Brian Bonar has created a culinary framework for his high end ambition to take off – as reported by Modern Luxury.
Bonar wooed the staff from his one of his favorite restaurants, El Bizcocho at Rancho Bernardo Inn, to start phase one of his restaurant enterprise. Now with Master Chef of France Patrick Ponsaty at the helm, Bellamy takes on an innovative French cuisine menu.
The dishes start with a creamy, Basque flavored corn soup served cold over a scallop ceviche. The poached salmon is topped with shaved summer truffle and sea salt for texture and paired with a parsley-cream risotto.
Mille-feuille, a rare treat, has layers of smoke eel and liver confit in pork fat topped with brule-ed apple slices that provide the perfect pucker through the richness. The ingenious composed beet salad is the ice cream sundae you'll never forget. With a base of gold and red quartered beets nestled in the edible soil of mushroom powder, pistachio, and cocoa nibs, the crimson beet ice cream is balanced with a warm goat cheese tart.
A leaner salad alternative is a heirloom Caprese with tomato-basil gel. The light salad is well placed before the decadent local mushroom ravioli finished with a veal-cased port wine sauce. Susceptible to "Mush Halibut Syndrome," a complaint fishermen from Alaska to Virginia have made lately, the halibut is mushy. On the other hand, the pan-seared marget, a Moulard duck breast, served in a peach-onion marmalade and a Szechaun gastrique sauce with a side of crispy yet creamy polenta with Parmesan is expertly executed as expected from a French chef. To end the meal, the saffron panna cotta with a a strawberry-hibiscus consomme dipping sauce, a warm madeleine, and berries is a bright and fresh dessert.
Like Ponsaty's young apprentice Mike Reidy says: Take advantage of a Master Chef of France's undivided attention while you can. Right now, Ponsaty is making his dream kitchen at phase two of the Bonar culinary invasion of San Diego County, Ranch at Bandy Canyon. It will be an elite event space with an exclusive restaurant where Bonar will again showcase Ponsaty's showstopping talents.

BrightLight Books operates multiple stores and we invite you to browse the inventory of those stores here, at BrightLightBooks.com. Each store ships online orders independently, so if you would like to take advantage of our free shipping offers, you'll need to take note of which stores have the items you are interested in.
For example, if you have $25 or more items from Fern Park on your order, and a single $5.99 item from RTS Oveido, the item from our RTS Oveido store would incur a $4.99 shipping charge.
Similarly, if you have an order that is less than $25 from two stores, you would incur two $4.99 shipping charges.
Your current order breaks down as follows:
Whether you've got a roomful of books or a handful of DVDs, BrightLight Books can help lighten your load and turn clutter into cash! We buy used items from our customers every day, and you can either get cash or trade credit that you can use in our store or online.
Please keep in mind that due to the volume of items brought to us, we are very selective about what we make an offer on. When you bring your items in, keep in mind the possibility that most of what you bring will either be things we already have or don't think we need.
Currently we only buy items in our Stores. We are currently developing an online buying process so you will be able to sell or trade your items to us without leaving your house.
We buy Books, DVDs, and CDs any time we are open, no appointment is
Saturdays can get busy so there might be a wait.
If you have a lot of books for us to sort through you can leave them with us and we'll call you when your offer is ready. We can only hold items we're not making an offer on for 24 hours due to space limitations, so make sure you return promptly or communicate what time you expect to return if you want the items we don't buy to be returned to you!
We make cash and/or trade credit offers everyday for current, quality used books, DVDs, and CDs in every subject area. We buy according to supply and demand: if people still want it, and we don't already have too many copies, we'll buy or trade for it.
We also buy current textbooks. A student ID or other proof of enrollment within the past 4 months is required to sell used textbooks.
Bottom line: please feel free to bring in whatever you have. We are happy to sort through your stuff and make a cash or trade credit offer on the items we can use.
We usually begin with a store credit offer that is about half of what we think an item will sell for. If you want cash instead that is usually about half of our store credit offer.
We might only offer trade credit for some common items like pocket fiction or kids' books.
We usually pay $0.50 - $2.00 in cash per DVD or $1.00 - $3.00 in store credit per DVD. We pay more for newer releases and more for multi-disc sets and collectibles.
We usually pay $0.50 - $1.00 in cash per CD or $1.00 - $2.50 in store credit per CD. We pay more for newer releases.
Yes, but we only travel when you have a lot of nice items. If you live nearby and have good things we need, we'll come and make an offer. If you live further away, we might be willing to come take a look if you have a large collection. Just give us a call and let us know what you have and we'll let you know if we're able to come see your stuff.
Yes, within reason. We have a large Overstock Sale twice a year where we sell things that we either have too many copies of or don't have room for. So, we'll take all your items if we think most of the "leftover" items will sell at our overstock sale.

A common mistake in English is to confuse the adjective everyday with the adverbial phrase every day. Even mighty media outlets such as Reuters make this mistake occasionally. For example:
Everyday, content creators are producing more journalism, more think-pieces, more interactive graphics, more photo galleries, more tweets, more slideshows, more videos, more GIFs... (Source) (Boldface added)
When the reader encounters "Everyday" at the beginning of the sentence, he may assume that "Everyday" modifies "content creators." But then he considers the comma after "Everyday" and assumes that "Everyday" modifies the verb "are producing."* This second assumption is probably correct.
However, the word everyday is an adjective; as such, it should not be used to modify a verb. The writer should have used the adverbial phrase every day. For more on everyday vs. every day, see Grammarist.)
The Takeaway: Strive to use proper grammar and diction. Although your mistakes may not always make your writing unclear, they will hurt your credibility if they are frequent.
See disclaimer.
*Or is a sentence adverb.

New York City-based band HAERTS has unveiled details of their forthcoming self-titled debut album, available everywhere October 27. Hear brand new song "Heart" exclusively at iTunes today: http://smarturl.it/haertsitunes. Pre-order the album Haerts now and instantly receive six of the album's tracks, including "Heart," "Wings," "All The Days," "Hemiplegia," "Call My Name," and the album's lead single, "Giving Up." See below for full track list.
The album's artwork, featuring lead singer Nini Fabi (above), was shot by world renowned photographer Albert Watson, known for his countless covers with VOGUE and Rolling Stone, and features flowers by up-and-coming floral designer Brittany Asch of BRRCH, whose work has recently been featured in VOGUE, Lucky, NYLON, andStyle.com.
With the release of their buzzed about EP Hemiplegia last fall, HAERTS has quickly won over fans and garnered fantastic critical praise. Time Out New York named the group one of their "Rising New York City Bands You Need To Know." In January, the band sold out their first-ever hometown headline show at Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg.

A new video from Paleo, which is the pseudonym of singer-songwriter David Strackany. The guy's latest album Fruit of the Spirit, and this music is definitely going to sit well with fans of oddball personalities. Paleo carries the innocence of Daniel Johnston, but can turn around and play the tortured melancholy of Simon Joyner in a heartbeat.
Look for Fruit of the Spirit on Partisan, and hear another track from this new album here.

The Mitsubishi Pajero is a sport utility vehicle manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors. It was named after Leopardus pajeros, the Pampas cat which is local to the Patagonia plateau region of southern Argentina. Unfortunately, since pajero is an offensive term for "wanker" in alternative, Spanish names have been utilized for many markets overseas. It is recognized once the Mitsubishi Montero (meaning "mountain huntsman") in India, The country of spain, and the Americas (excepting Brazil), and once the Mitsubishi Shogun in the United Kingdom. In Japan, it was sold at a specific retail chain called Car Plaza. Discontinued in the United States in 2006, the car continues to be sold in the rest of the world in its fourth-generation iteration.

Thanks a lot to their success, the Pajero, Montero and Shogun names wera furthermore applied to other, mechanically unrelated models, such once the Pajero Mini kei vehicle, the Pajero Junior and Pajero iO/Pinin mini SUVs, and the Mitsubishi Pajero/Montero/Shogun Sport. Main competitors tend to be the Land Rover Discovery, Toyota Land Cruiser Prado SWB/LWB and Nissan Patrol.
The first Pajero prototype was unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show in November 1973. The Pajero II prototype followed in 1978, five many years later. Mitsubishi's aim was to create more of a recreational vehicle, not simply an SUV.
In January 1983, the first Pajero made it is first at the Paris Dakar Rally, taking first place in 1985 at only the third attempt. To date, the Pajero is the many prospering car within the Dakar Rally (winning its class 7 out of the final 10 races, and 15 of the full 32 races). This not only gave the Pajero an offroad character, but furthermore aided in the earnings department.
The starting generation made its debut at the Tokyo Motor display in October 1981, and was launched in May 1982. Once, it was three-door, short-wheelbase model available with steel or canvas top and three different engines options, although more were gradually ending, added with a 3-litre V6 on peak of the range.
It was loaded with features that had previously not been observed on a Japanese four-wheel-drive car: a turbocharged diesel engine, a front double wishbone suspension with torsion pub springs, power steering and suspension seats. This made the Pajero a four-wheel-drive vehicle which integrated all the amenities of a traveler auto.
In January 1983, only a year after its launch, mildly tuned production Pajeros entered the entire world of motor sport. The Pajero, however, failed to appeal to everyone. In Japan it was seen as a commercial car, and since it was only available in a short-wheelbase form, it didn't really appeal to those with families.
Hence, in February 1983, Mitsubishi came out with long-wheelbase, five-door model, to provide the needs of a larger target market. The long-wheelbase model had been available with a preference of two assorted engines; a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol (badged as "2.0 Turbo" and "2000 Turbo" in some markets) and a 2.3 liter turbocharged diesel. It also came in traditional, Semi-High Roof and High Roof body styles. A stripped down nine-seater type of the High-Roof variant had been commonly utilized in UN Peace Operations.
The long-wheelbase unian in addition increased seating ability to seven, with available third row seats, which could be folded to the sides for alternative trunk area area or combined with second row seats to form a bed.
The Pajero was further refined in June 1984. The turbo diesel engines now got higher power/torque ratings, whilst the long-wheelbase models got standard four-wheel disc brakes and four-way adjustable shock absorbers as standard stuff.
A new flagship model was then introduced in early 1987, with a two-tone paintjob, fifteen inch (38 cm) light alloy wheels, front-seat heaters, wool seat covers, genuine leather headrests, a three spoke steering a wheel and sound system with radio/cassette. Also in 1987, a variation of the Pajero/Montero had been rebadged by Dodge once the Raider, which ran through 1989.
Mitsubishi Montero LS 4-door (US)
Finally in 1988, a 3.0-litre SOHC V6 system had been made available, alongside a 2.5-litre turbo diesel engine, with the first 4x4 intercooler. This translated to better acceleration in mid to high rev ranges. The long-wheelbase models got a coil link suspension system for better ride comfort and off-road ability.
It had been available with a 3-door body for a short wheelbase (SWB) or a 5-door body for a long-wheelbase (LWB). Engines included a 2.6 L I4 with 82 kW (110 hp/112 PS), a 3.0 L V6 with EFI and 104 kW (139 hp/141 PS) and a turbocharged 2.5 L OHV diesel I4 with 62 kW (83 hp/84 PS) or an intercooled 70 kW (94 hp/95 PS). Part-time four-wheel drive was traditional on all models.
The Gen I platform was later built under license by Hyundai consistency Products as the Hyundai Galloper from 1991 to 2003, and exported to European countries for a brief time. While it used first generation mechanicals, the Galloper's figure was nearer to the second generation Pajeros.
Mitsubishi sold over three hundred thousand Pajeros from 1979 to 1990. Unfortunately, the time for a redesign had been very long due and January 1991 spotted the first Generation II Pajero, although exports failed to commence until later. Just about all was now new and further enhanced. Unique, much larger figure had been available in four different versions; Metal Top, Canvas Top Convertible, Semi High Roof Wagon and High Roof Wagon (long wheelbase). The short wheelbase designs happened to be stretched by 70 millimeters (2.8 inches) and the long-wheelbase designs by 30 millimeters (1.2 inches). The available engines included a 3.0 liter 12-valve SOHC with ECI-Multi electronic fuel shot and a 2.5 litre turbocharged diesel engine with an intercooler.
The second generation also spotted the introduction of Super Find 4WD (SS4) and multimode ABS, which were firsts on Japanese four-wheel drives. SS4 had been ground-breaking in the sense that it combined the benefits of function time and complete-time four-wheel drive with four available options: 2H (high-range rear-wheel drive), 4H (high-range full time four-wheel drive), 4HLc (high-range four-wheel drive with locked building differential) and 4LLc (low-range four-wheel drive with locked center differential). Another positive aspect of this second creating system is that it gave the driver the ability to switch between two-wheel drive and full-time four-wheel drive at speeds up to 100 km/h (62 mph), whereas the first generation Pajero had to be stationary to switch from rear-wheel drive to four-wheel drive (but not from four-wheel drive back to rear-wheel drive). Multimode ABS, regarding the some other hand, was equally innovative. This meant ABS would be fully practical in all modes of SS4, as braking with a locked center differential requires completely different braking parameters.
In July 1993, two brand-new electric power plants were introduced; a 3.5 liter 24-valve DOHC with ECI-Multi and a 2.8 liter turbocharged diesel with an intercooler. New, bigger transmission and transfer situation had been furthermore part of the upgrade.
1993–1996 Mitsubishi Pajero (NJ) GLS, Australia
Pajero Evolution (retail version)
The Pajero background was introduced in October 1997, which was developed in response to new entry specifications for the Paris – Dakar Rally's T3 Class. The Pajero background emerged standard with a 3.5 liter 24-valve DOHC V6 with Mitsubishi latest Valve Timing and Electronic Lift Control (MIVEC). Dual, new plenum variable consumption helped increase electric power and a new suspension made the ride likewise smoother.
In 1998, vehicles destined for General Export and the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council countries) was given a facelift. Better fenders, brand-new headlights, grille, bumper, fog lights and sidesteps are all part of the redesign. The wide fenders are often called "blister flare fenders". Front-passenger and driver SRS airbags happened to be made level on models equipped with the 3.5 liter DOHC V6 engine, whilst however staying elective on GLS models with the 3.0 liter SOHC V6. An upgraded interior timber trim had been made available on 3.0 liter GLS and 3.5 liter models. A fabric-wrapped or fabric and wood trim steering wheel had been also made available, alongside an upgraded steering and suspension system. The 3.0 liter 12-valve SOHC engine had been today available with a 24-valve configuration. Models without spacious fenders remained as base models (GLX), available with a 2.4 liter 16-valve DOHC engine, producing 147 hp (110 kW). The 3.0 liter 12-valve engine was optional on these GLX designs, and remained the base system in the GLS.
The second generation was introduced on January 22, 1991 and manufactured until 1999. It retained the two figure types, but design was rounder and more city-friendly than the previous bulky model. The 3.0 L V6 gasoline motor was retained, now available with a 24-valve head, able of 136 kW (177 hp/185 PS), as the 2.5 turbodiesel's electricity was slightly increased to 73 kW (98 hp/99 PS). In 1993, the Pajero was slightly restyled, and heavier engines happened to be introduced, a 3.5 L V6 with 153 kW (215 hp/208 PS) and a 2.8 L SOHC turbodiesel rated at 92 kW (123 hp/125 PS). These versions introduced Mitsubishi's Super Select four-wheel-drive system (recognized as Active-Trac within the United States Of America), with an electronic move shift that could split power between both axles without the need to stop the car. It figured at speeds up to 100 km/h (62 mph).
The first generation Pajero was also marketed once the Hyundai Galloper in Korea, Europe and GCC Countries, as the second creating was in production elsewhere.
This model Pajero remains in production in India once the Pajero SFX; the latest creating is sold once the Montero. In the Philippines it is marketed as the Pajero "Field Master" 4x2 because of the 2.8L TD engine, alongside the fourth generation Pajero. The 4X4 version had been taken out of production in 1999. Additionally, it is nevertheless produced in Colombia from perfect Knock Down parts (CKD), with a 2.4l 16 valve SOHC (130 PS) or 3.0l 12 valve V6 (148 PS), both engines are really available as a 3-door hard top, the 5-door wagon only with the 3-litre six.
Designed in house the third generation Pajero hit the Japanese household Market in 1999, whilst it was made available with other markets in late 2000 as a 2001 model. The Philippines and other developing nations was given this third generation Pajero in 2003. The vehicle was completely redesigned, in and out and had lower, wider stance. A lower center of the law of gravity meant the Pajero had better on-road handling manners and the newer body got over three hundred percent more torsional rigidity. The biggest change to bring this about had been that the Pajero utilized a unibody construction, as opposed to the earlier body-on-frame (box-ladder). This also permitted a longer suspension stroke. The fuel tank was also relocated to amongst the axles for better safety. The third generation Pajero relocated one size up from mid-size to full-size SUV. On May 17, 2004 Mitsubishi announced that the company had been deciding on shutting down the Gifu plant but decided not to after negative feedback. The Gifu assembly plant is encircled by Mitsubishi's other buildings in which manufacture electronics for Mitsubishi's other divisions. The Gifu plant is actually known as Pajero Manufacturing Co. and exclusively builds the full-size Pajero.
The SS4 system was also further refined, as bevel gears happened to be changed with planetary ones. This meant the front-to-rear torque setting ranged from 33 to 67, because of the capability to adjust to 50/50 depending on surface conditions. The system was also created totally electronic, which intended the car didn't have to be in equipment to switch between drive modes. Most likely the upgrades, the system was renamed to Super Find 4WD II (SS4-II).
Alongside rack and pinion directing (as compared to the recirculating ball system on previous generations), the Pajero also offered a choice of three transmissions; a five increase manual, a four speed INVECS-II programmed and a five increase INVECS-II tiptronic.
An all-new 3.8 Liter SOHC 24-valve V6 powerplant was furthermore introduced on this generation. This engine utilized an Electronic Throttle Valve (ETV), to produce a refined cruising energy with power to spare for offroad ventures.
The third creating was introduced on August 2, 1999 and was scheduled to be replaced by the Autumn of 2006, having been restyled in 2003. This was one particular deluxe of the three our generations, moving to a more upscale segment to compete against the secure Rover finding, but more importantly, to counter it is home rival Toyota Land Cruiser's growth. The 3.0 L engine's electricity was reduced to 130 kW (175 hp/177 PS), and the 3.5 L engine was given gasoline direct injection, increasing power to 162 kW (217 hp/220 PS) in the Japanese market (export models retained the standard EFI engine, today with 149 kW (200 hp/203 PS). The 2.8 L Diesel was retained exclusively for developing markets, and was replaced by a new 16-valve direct shot engine, with 3.2 L and 120 kW (161 hp/163 PS).
In the North American marketplace, the 3.5 L engine was replaced for 2003 by a more powerful 3.8 L device, with 160 kW (215 hp/218 PS). This engine was subsequently created available to a few export markets such as Southern America and Australia, whilst it replaced the GDI V6 in the Japanese lineup in 2005. The abruptly wheelbase model is not available in North America, where the Montero is the one SUV in Mitsubishi's lineup with standard four-wheel drive. Experienced with falling sales, the Montero was pulled from the US market after the 2006 model year.

Results from a recent Canadian study suggests that even one concussion can triple a person's risk for suicide. Researchers from the University of Toronto spent 20 years tracking 236,000 people who had suffered concussions.
The study team found that for every 100,000 people who received at least one concussion, 31 of them died by suicide. Victims who sustained an injury on a weekend as opposed to a weekday faced an even greater risk. Although it may seem as if there were not a high number of concussion patients who committed suicide, these numbers are still three times the rate of suicide deaths amount people who have never received a concussion.
Although results of the study are not definitive, they do support other studies which have come to the same conclusion regarding the increased suicide risks that concussion victims may face.
Even a mild concussion can have profound lasting effects on a victim. The average that patients who were being tracked killed themselves was approximately six years after they sustained the injury.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, more than three million people suffer a concussion every year. Immediate symptoms include headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, seizures, and coma.
Once recovered from the initial injury, many victims begin suffering from long-term effects, which can include concentration difficulties, intense aggression or anger, language issues, memory problems, or personality changes. Victims often have difficulty with problem solving, as well as planning and organization skills.
This is why it is so important to continue with periodic medical follow-up once a person as received a concussion – even if they believe they are okay. Addressing medical issues right away may help alleviate even more serious issues and identify a patient who may at risk of suicide like those patients in the study.
If you or someone you love has received a concussion or any other brain injury due to an accident, contact an experienced North Carolina personal injury attorney to find out what legal action you may be able to proceed with for your pain and loss.

As a Minnesota native, my life's biggest adventure had once been moving to Washington, D.C. to attend Howard University. While working towards my International Business degree, I met my husband, a Naval officer. The moment we found out our family would be stationed in the Arabian Gulf, I knew I needed my first DSLR to "take nice pictures" of our adventures abroad. While living there, it is was my life long love of food and cooking that brought about my true love of photography. I started a food blog as a way to document our family's Arabian adventures through the dishes we ate and quickly fell in love with food photography. In early 2013 we left Bahrain for sunny Southern Spain. While in Spain, I was able to move on from blogging as a hobby to working with restaurants, styling for projects, and capturing memories in kitchens as well as doing portraits professionally.
When we left Spain for Southern California, I began working for a popular studio adding weddings and engagements to my portfolio. Having shot over 50 weddings and engagements, I've found my three photographic passions: weddings, engagements and food.

It takes stars to win games in the National Football League.
And it also takes guys like Leigh Torrence.
Torrence is a journeyman, a role player. He's not going to make the Pro Bowl or earn a lucrative guaranteed multi-year contract, but his contributions remain vital to the annual success of the club.
His existence in the NFL isn't year to year. It's week to week.
The New Orleans Saints are his fourth team in six seasons. He's been cut six times so far.
Torrence was the fifth cornerback on the roster to start the season. He was buried behind teammates with more lucrative free-agent contracts or higher draft pick status. The Saints released him before the season opener. They brought him back for a couple of weeks then released him again in Week 4.
Yet, with the Saints' top four cornerbacks sidelined with injuries, Torrence suddenly found himself thrust into the spotlight, starting at left corner against the 5-1 Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night before a national television audience.
And on a night of spectacular defensive plays, he made two of the biggest:
A bone-jarring, sacrifice-the-body tackle on Antwaan Randle El at the one-inch line to prevent a touchdown and ignite one of the most memorable goal-line stands in recent history.
And a game-clinching interception of two-time Super Bowl champion Ben Roethlisberger to preserve the exhilarating 20-10 victory.
It was the first interception of his 53-game NFL career.
"Just to be able to contribute in a game like that is something that you dream about and something that you prepare for as a football player, " said Torrence, whose five tackles ranked third on the defense. "So it was a very satisfying moment."
In many ways, Torrence symbolizes the Saints' under-the-radar, no-name defense.
Sure, they have stars such as Will Smith, Jonathan Vilma and Darren Sharper. But this season the Saints' defense has surged to near the top of the league rankings largely behind a group of castoffs and role players.
Sunday night's victory was a perfect example.
Jeff Charleston's big goal-line stop of Rashard Mendenhall on third down at the 1 served as the exclamation point to the goal-line stand. The Saints signed Charleston two years ago while he was working in a wood shop in Oregon.
Marvin Mitchell's strip of Heath Miller in the fourth quarter not only preserved the win but ended a 17-quarter takeaway skid by the defense at the Superdome. Mitchell, who was the club's final pick of the 2007 draft, began his career on the practice squad.
"We have a lot of guys like that on our team, " quarterback Drew Brees said. "You like to see good things happen to guys like that because of what they have invested and how hard they've worked."
The Saints are ranked No. 3 in the league in total defense. They've never finished higher than No. 2 in their history, and it's been 18 years since they attained such a lofty defensive perch.
They aren't making as many big plays as they did a year ago, but they're also not allowing as many. In eight games, they've allowed two plays of more than 40 yards. Despite playing a makeshift secondary that at times has featured backups at all four positions, they've allowed only six touchdown passes. That's the second-lowest total in the league.
"We're not necessarily known around here as being one of the top defenses in the league, but it's something we're trying to get to, " Torrence said.
Few players are more well liked in the Saints' locker room than Torrence.
His teammates in the secondary refer to him as the scholar of the unit because of his Stanford education.
They admire the dedication he showed to rehabilitate his surgically repaired shoulder in the offseason.
"He's a team-first guy, " defensive back Malcolm Jenkins said. "He comes to work every day and does whatever is asked of him."
Before Sunday night, the main headline Torrence produced this season came in an off-field accomplishment. He helped former Stanford classmate Channa Mae Cook by enlisting 10 teammates to donate $5,000 apiece to help launch the football team at Sojourner Truth Academy, the charter school Cook and Kristin Leigh Moody founded two years ago. The players' $50,000 was matched by an NFL grant, and the $100,000 was used to buy equipment and jerseys for the team.
"You won't hear a player in this locker room say a bad word about Leigh, " fellow cornerback Jabari Greer said.
Torrence admitted he wondered if he'd ever get another chance to make plays like he did Sunday night after suffering the season-ending shoulder injury last season and getting released earlier this season.
But his confidence never wavered. And on Sunday night his faith was rewarded with a career-best performance.
"Honestly, there's only a few guys who know they are guaranteed a few years (on their contracts) and the rest of us are fighting in the NFL on a week-to-week basis to prove that we still have it and to stay around. There's a lot of people who wish they could be in this locker room. It's not something that you take for granted."

Legendary High School Coach Herman 'Big Man' Pittman selected Broward County Pioneer
Few people in the State of Florida have had as great an impact on the game of basketball and influenced the lives of so many student athletes than former Dillard High School basketball coach, Herman "Big Man" Pittman.
By Charles Moseley
From the mid 1950's throughout the 1970's Coach Herman Pittman established a high school basketball dynasty, winning four State of Florida High School Championships. Equally impressive was the tremendous impact he had on the lives of the many thousands of students he taught, during his 38 years as an educator, for the Broward County Public School System. Pittman was honored recently as a Broward County Pioneer by the Broward County Historical Commission, during the 41st Annual Pioneer Day ceremony, on Oct. 19, 2013.
Even as a youth Pittman displayed an uncanny ability to play the game of basketball at a high level. Although diminutive in stature, Pittman played head and soldiers above the competition as a point guard for Tampa Middleton High School during the late 1940's. He earned an athletic scholarship to attend Florida Agriculture & Mechanical University (FAMU). There he lettered as a backup quarterback on the football team and started at guard on the FAMU Rattler Basketball Team.
Pittman led FAMU to two Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) Championships. He also made First Team All-SIAC Conference and All-SIAC Tournament Team two years. After graduating from FAMU, Pittman joined the U.S. Army where he was co-captain of the Fort Meade Generals in Maryland.
Pittman's first coaching job was at Bond Junior High School in Tallahassee during 1953-54. He then moved to Fort Lauderdale along with his wife Nielza after he was hired to take over the reins as head basketball coach of the Dillard High School Panthers in Fort Lauderdale. His coaching career spanned 18 years between Dillard and Deerfield Beach High School.
During his high school coaching career Pittman became one of the most successful basketball coaches at the high school level in the state of Florida. His teams won seven conference championships and he was named Coach of the Year five times. His teams won six District Championships. The Panthers also qualified for seven state championships-winning four state titles. His teams also qualified to participate in the National High School Tournament held at Tennessee State College in Nashville, Tenn. in 1959 and 1963. In 1965, they traveled to Alabama State College in Montgomery, Ala., to play in the National Tournament. Coach Pittman compiled a most impressive record of 317 wins and 131 losses during his high school coaching career.
Former Dillard High School track, football and basketball player Johnny Alexander played for Coach Pittman during the late 1950's. Alexander was among the many former student athletes who Pittman left a lasting impression on. Alexander went on to attend college and has been involved with youth for the City of Fort Lauderdale Parks and Recreation Department for over 35 years.
"Coach Pittman was my coach when he came here in 1955 and he's been a major impact to this entire community ever since he arrived. He helped set the trend for what I and many others do involving youth athletics today. Because of the fact that he took the time with all the kids and loved all of us regardless if we were the beginners or the seniors at basketball. He took us all over travelling to several states from Tennessee south. He did a lot of this with his own personal money. He did this to give us exposure as athletes and he has always done the same even when he retired from the school system."
Former Dillard High School Track & Field and Football Coach Robert Green, a living legend in his own right, worked alongside Coach Pittman for many years and observed firsthand the major impact that Pittman had on students throughout his distinguished career in education.
"I think it's about time. Coach Pittman deserves everything that he gets. I came to this county in 1957 and worked with Coach Pittman at Dillard High School. He was always helping to strive to help young men and women to better themselves so that they would grow up to be respectable young ladies and gentlemen in this community. He did so much for Dillard and the community that the gymnasium at Dillard right now is named after Coach Pittman. Whatever awards he receives he greatly deserves and I will always have a lot of respect for him."
