Ware, United Kingdom (PressExposure) October 05, 2009 -- The LHC started up September 2008, but within days there was a major incident, and it is only just about to restart experiments in autumn 2009 - with these two major objectives: -
1. To collide beams of lead particles with massive energy, to simulate cosmic conditions in the split second after the Universe is supposed by scientists to have started, 14 billion years ago or so in the âBig Bangâ
2. So to investigate whether there are (seven or eight, according to the best known âstring theoriesâ) extra dimensions of space concealing a vast proportion of the total mass or energy of the Universe.
Cambridge trained scientist and Chartered Instrument Engineer, Simon Richard Lee, believes that he knows already what these extra dimensions contain, and also fully how they are structured.
His 400+ page book Scientific Proof that (God The Holy) Spirit Exists as at http://www.silee.me.uk gives a startling but strangely familiar hypothesis â that these 7 or 8 dimensions comprise nothing less than (God the Holy) Spirit!
The final part of this book is called âManifesto: Abolish All Money!â as at http://www.maam.org.uk and gives an ideal utopian world political view based on all his many scientific and spiritual findings in his main book as above.
Original Press Release by http://www.book-promotion.com November 2008
Describing the indescribable
A comprehensive and astonishing scientific description of (God the Holy) Spirit
If you ever wondered how science could provide us help in understanding Spirit and Soul, here youâll find a lot of questions as well as a lot of strong answers. In a rigorous analysis that includes science as well as holy literature, Simon Lee shares with us his studies about the structure of the Spirit, the structure of what doesnât seem to be visible.
Scientific Proof that (God The Holy) Spirit Exists proves to be a new milestone, crossing the borders of scientific and religious taboos. It is a very personal way to approach Nature and Spirit. New (truly spiritual) ways of approaching history, economics and diseases are consequently drawn in this three-part book.
A physicist and a computer scientist, the author supplies his work in a clear, popular way. His studies and theories are inspired by some personal visionary experiences, which add a fresh taste to the book, making it a really unique read.
Scientific Proof that (God The Holy) Spirit Exists is a book for those who dare to open a new door to the yet unknown world and are not closed to new theories and interpretations of both scientific and religious issues.
Scientific Proof that (God the Holy) Spirit Exists is a brilliant mixture of both religious and scientific writing. It is developed in three parts, in a clear and discursive way.
In the first part, a fascinating theory about Spiritual Energy is provided. The starting point is that Spiritual Energy =mc2, just like physical energy. Its âsevenfold natureâ in the Bible and other Holy Books, occurs in trees, fountains and cubes. The Sevenfold âHolyâ Spirit of God exactly occupies the âextra seven dimensions of the Universeâ of the latest "string theories" of science.
He produces at least eight equally fascinating scientific theories about Spirit, comprising overall his (natural) science of the Holy Spirit.
These theories may all be verified in autumn 2009 if the new Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, Geneva detects that there are more than three dimensions of space. In fact that there are seven or eight âextraâ ones!
In the second part, Simon Lee makes his own very special translation of some chapters of the Holy Books, commenting on them in a stimulating and personal way.
In the third part the problems related to the cashless system are explained.
The last part of the book handles a new theory of - and cures for - all mental illnesses. In his fresh but rigorous style, the author proposes two new non chemical therapies.
Finally his dramatic and inspiring âManifesto: Abolish All Moneyâ examines in great detail what the world would be like should Mankind as a whole Abolish Moneyâ¦
This book is a journey into different worlds, where (natural) science and religion meet and walk side by side.

A poll from PoliticsHome arrives showing deliberative research that indicates the public are warming to the idea of public spending cuts. Unsurprisingly, the very smart professor of cuts over at the Spectator, Fraser Nelson, is quick to rattle through 10 reasons Cameron should go snipping.
There's a growing number of people in the Labour party that think similarly. They think Labour ought to be the party spelling out how it will reduce – safely – spending on the public sector (£43bn a year needed to balance the books) rather than let the Tories monopolise it. The political imperative is that not only are gilt markets registering fear in UK plc, but voters may be about to start to buy the Tory debt argument, if they aren't doing so at the moment (for those still in their homes, mortgage repayments are currently down etc).
These voices are also in favour of a further April fiscal stimulus. They firmly do not see themselves with the Mervyn King-Tory-French-German-Czech huddle. They want another £20bn (or more) and they want it in April – thinking this will stand more of a chance of being absorbed before an election than any "offer" made in the next pre-budget report due in the autumn. (Incidentally, some see other ways of bringing about a fiscal stimulus without the Treasury spending money, namely calling on the £38bn of local authority reserves.)
But this camp – I suppose you can call them "Blairites" – do not see any contradiction in demanding this stimulus, followed swiftly by a longer term pledge to bring down the level of spending by the state. They are not thinking of one-off chops (appealing as a surgical removal of £25bn on Trident or £4bn on two new aircraft may be to some) or money saved on "waste", the gift that keeps on giving.
Instead, they are calling for more frugal ways of doing fewer things. I predict speeches by senior figures of the left in June, after the local elections, making the argument for a ceiling to be put on public spending, which should, in the long term, come down to lower than what it is now (and they don't just mean after RBS and Lloyds are sold off).
The next question is to ask the Blairites to make like Edward Scissorhands and lop something off the government's current annual £600bn spend.
The answer is to target quangos, not just by slashing the pay of chief execs, but by "sweating" the whole lot. There are stories of the Carbon Trust duplicating the work of the Envirowise, which in turn is duplicating the work of the Energy Savings Trust, and so on (all this is denied by the organisations involved).
It's a lot of money – last year a New Local Government Network report showed quangos spent £123bn of public money a year, though the government disputes this, saying they only cost £32bn (note: quite close to that £43bn annual shortfall). Some caution: even if the spend is as high as £123bn, there's no way you could chop it all.
Quangos include Jobcentre Plus, for example, and that's not going anywhere.
But they could be kept on a tighter leash; they currently don't have to meet the 3% year-on-year savings that local government has to meet.
There's also evidence that government funds to quangos get caught in a bottleneck; an internal report on the government's procurement – essentially how well the centre buys its services – is not flattering.
For example, the funds going into the Housing and Communities Agency are not coming out the other end quickly enough. In this way, some say, quangos are compounding the recession.
But this is the interesting bit. I've written before that there are factions angling for a hook of up between the Blairites and Jon Cruddas. So I've asked a colleague of Cruddas's what he would make of the above.
He didn't like the focus on spending reduction – still concentrating on this crisis and the need for a further (non-forthcoming) fiscal stimulus – but he did like the shrinking of quangos, which he called "arm's length and unaccountable regulatory quangos". He agrees: "Get rid of them and replace them with democratic control over key sectors of the economy."
What about the Blairites? One suggests something similar: turning the running of primary care trusts over to local government officials rather than duplicating the layer of non-exec middle management.
And another Blairite says this: "Break them up and then push all their functions down to local level where it then becomes up to people in the local area to decide whether they want to pay for those functions or not."
The biggest problem is that Gordon Brown may not let this get any oxygen. The trope "Labour = investment, Tories = cuts" is among his favourites.

IF YOUR mum is in tune with the digital age then check out these high-tech gift ideas for mother's day.
Targus, $69.95
Rating: 3.5/5
Laptop bags need not be big, bulky and black constructions. This sleek carrycase could be well suited to a thoroughly modern and mobile mother, as it's designed to avoid adding mass to an Ultrabook computer. The Ultralife Thin Edge Canvas Slipcase features two attractive pleats up front, while a brown, leather-like material covers its lid and sides. Inside, the simple case features a soft lining to keep gadgets scratch-free and a padded section for a 14-inch laptop. The slender profile and unique look should appeal.
Pure, $199
Rating: 4/5
Pure's Move 2500 digital radio is small enough to fit inside a pocket. Its 10cm-long body features a monochrome, three-line screen for showing the station name, time, reception, battery life and song titles, while a scroll wheel beneath lets listeners access the radio's menus. Despite its size, it delivers crisp audio for up to 14 hours, but reception can be sketchy indoors.
Griffin Technology, $49.99
Rating: 3.5/5
Is your mum an earth mother who loves to doodle? If so, Papernomad's unique product range is likely to appeal. The company's sustainable gadget cases look like brown paper for one good reason - they are made of it. That paper has been mixed with viscose fibre and biopolymer to better resist water, tearing and everyday life. Inside, this iPhone 5 case has a green, woollen lining to protect the screen, while a hemp strap clips to the tops of the case with a built-in magnet to keep the device in place. Covering your phone in paper might not sound like much protection, but the result is well-padded. best stored in the cloud anyway. It's a capable, lightweight, light-on-cash solution for those who need a mobile computer.
Samsung, $345
Rating: 3.5/5
Buying a laptop for Mother's Day might sound extravagant, but it need not be expensive. Samsung's Chromebook, for example, will set you back just $345, as this lightweight laptop is designed for web use, basic word processing and tasks that don't demand a lot of computing grunt. The 1.1kg device has a silver, plastic body that could be mistaken for stainless steel at a distance, and an island-style keyboard that is easy to use. Its 11.6-inch screen won't win beauty contests - users must angle it correctly for a good view - but its touchpad is functional and its 1.7GHz dual-core processor and 2GB RAM deliver Google apps such as Drive, Calendar and Gmail ably. Its 16GB storage doesn't leave much room for large files, but those are best stored in the cloud anyway.
Panasonic, $299
Rating: 3.5/5
Even the most mobile mother should have space in her handbag, purse or pocket carry for this camera. Panasonic's new Lumix SZ9 is 2.1cm thick and weighs 134g making it a sliver of the gadgets that came before it. its size, tThe SZ9 offers a 16.1-megapixel resolution, a 10x zoom lens that stretches to 250mm, and a Leica lens starting at a wide angle of 25mm. To save space, in its design there's no mode dial on this camera. Users must instead select Intelligent Auto, scene modes, Creative Control or panorama settings with smattering of buttons on its back. Wi-fi connectivity also been thrown in forallows quick image uploads. The SZ9's screen is not as clear or good from an angle as others and it has few manual settings, but this point-and-shoot camera offers a lot in a small package for just $300.

The percentage of customers churning from contracts halved in the first quarter of 2008 compared with the same period in 2007, according to the latest industry figures.GfK's customer acquisition report is the first indication that the major operators' priority this year to stop contract customers leaving their networks is paying off.The report showed that contract churn dropped from 26% in the first three months of 2007 to 13% in the same period in 2008. The percentage of customers churning on prepay also more than halved, down from 28% in Q1 2007 to 11% in Q1 2008.It comes after operators started offering discounted deals to customers threatening to leave the network. The one major cost has been that the drop has hit many operators' margins.The findings are likely to please O2, Vodafone and Orange, as they have battled to hold off the threat from 3 and T-Mobile, which are trying to prise contract customers away from rivals.Fighting churn is a priority for operators due to the saturated market state, especially in the contract area. Recent GfK figures showed that only 3% of customers taking on contracts are new to the market.T-Mobile addressed the issue this month by giving its store staff the same powers as its retention teams in call centres to keep customers from churning. O2 and Orange are looking to follow suit, and operators are developing their store systems to enable staff to make deals.Value and coverage were the main reasons that customers decided to churn. Fifty-two percent swapped networks to find better value, and 23% churned because they were receiving poor signal.GfK analyst Ben Hunt told Mobile: 'Our figures do appear to show that levels of churn are proportionally decreasing. As ever the biggest driver for that appears to be customers seeking better value.'Deal-seekers growingGfK's figures showed a large increase in how many customers are churning to find a cheaper deal. Thirty percent of customers churned because of 'overall price/cost of package' in the second half of 2007, compared with 51% in the first half of 2008. Worsening economic conditions appears to be a key factor behind the trend.

Why does student-centred teaching work so well?
Student-centred teaching allows students to create knowledge, as opposed to passively receiving information, and encourages deep learning. A student-centred approach focuses primarily on what the student needs to do in order to learn, rather than on the course content or the transmission of information by the teacher.

Modern Times? Hardly. Dylan's third album in his current streak of artistic renewal harks back to such hoary old icons as Chuck Berry ("Thunder on the Mountain" is in melodic essence "Johnny B. Goode"), Muddy Waters (a recast of "Rollin' and Tumblin'") and Memphis Minnie (who earns more than a nod on "The Levee's Gonna Break"). Dylan is also not above resurrecting some of his own ghosts from his chameleonesque past--the then-confounding crooner of his 1970 album Self Portrait surfaces on both "Spirit on the Water" and "Beyond the Horizon." And the album title is only part of the irony that suffuses his 31st new studio release. His followers would have been aghast if this puppy had yelped out in the 1960s or '70s, yet it arrives today with some hefty initial praise. But the truth is, neither of these extreme reactions really applies. After drawing renewed inspiration from his roots on Time Out of Mind and Love and Theft, Dylan here creates a period piece so archaic (yet also oddly compelling) it could be called Time Out of Time. No, there's nothing here that even approaches such recent stunners as "Tryin' to Get to Heaven," "Make You Feel My Love" and "Mississippi," and the modern topical allusions on "Levee" and "Workingman's Blues #2" (again, refer to Merle Haggard's "Workin' Man Blues") are to be found only between the lines. In the end, Modern Times sounds like a work from the ages but, alas, never quite for the ages.

Colorful Contrast by brillianceWatch
©2002-2017 brilliance
Its a minor league game. I just like how the industrial look in the background contrasts thr green grass of the baseball field.
wonderful...i agree as well...the contrast between the clean cut grass and industrial decay is great...i also like the framing of the shot...good job!
that pic looks really nice! very bright and attractive, and it catches the eye. (unfortunately, it loses some luster since i've been to the stadium quite a few times before...but it's still a great photograph!)
very interesting, I like the contrast between the green and the industrial as well.. makes for an interesting, almost satirical shot. Nice sky, too.
Damn, you took a picture most wouldn't even think about taking, and turned into art with your composition and eye. Amazing color and contrast +Fav
Cool shot and good contrast.. one of these things is not like the other.. lol..
Yep, excellent colors and the contrast is really on your face.
Good work.
Good work.
this is SOOOOOOO good! the colors are just amazing....almost looks too good to be true....you're quite the talent in capturing such vividly expressive shots...
man your photos are so crisp awesome job man i like
thats a nice photo.....
the colors are great.....
good view too........
the colors are great.....
good view too........
Truly beautiful! I love how it's glows orange because of the setting sun. It reminds me of one of those moments that you are completely content with, even for just a second. I agree with the contrast, not just the colors, but the enviroments. With the fake flat grass and the shiny metal. It's profound. great job!!
I agree- great contrasts in this.. the colors look very vibrant and alive... only thing I would change is to lighten the filed a bit, I had a hard time making out the baseball players.

Make Money Investing Online – Here's a Simple GuideDisclaimer
If you've never opened a brokerage account before, you've no doubt want to do so because of the opportunities it provides. Making money is obviously the ultimate idea, but winning isn't the prime motivator because the thrills and excitement it provides are a driving force as well.
A Simple Guide made Easier with the Right Broker
When you choose the right broker to help you on your way to making money investing online, the process can be made that much easier, especially with the electronic world and technology. CMC Markets is what you'd call a Best Value Online Broker because they offer a wide range of investment products.
Registered and licensed, you can apply to start investing with confidence with these kinds of brokers and access their full range of award-winning stockbroking platform tools and features. If you're a new trader, going with a reliable, trustworthy broker will allow you to learn the basics – one who has a 24-hour dedicated customer service line when the markets are open.
First, determine what your invest goals are
- the best brokerages act as a middleman between you and investments and they assign you a broker to handle your account. With different ways to contact them, you can chat to the broker who will recommend investments for you.
- When you activate a new account, you'll be able to sign into your account as soon as your application has been successful. You will also have had to click on the verification link sent to your registered email address. You won't however, be able to CFD trade until you have enough funds in your account to open a position.
- Once you've selected one of the leading, reputable brokers for investing online, go to their website to open an account with them. Stipulate the type of account you're opening and then press on the 'get started' button. By completing a very simple online form, with the best online brokers, you'll get a quick response within a minute or two. The best brokers make signing up for an account very easy, and it's just a case of following their simple instructions.
Select the account type that will help you to execute your style of trading.
- Funding your account – before you look at any broker, make sure that your money will be held in different accounts to the brokers. If they go under, you want to know that all your money is safe and doesn't go under with the brokerage you chose. Also, make sure they offer demo accounts so you can practice a bit without the risk of losing money.
- Once you're confident that you can trade with a live account, you can click on the 'login button and then click on the 'live account' button which will take you to the live account online application form. You simply use your demo account login details and follow the step-by-step instructions to apply for your live account.
Documentation required for live account – you will be asked to provide –
- scanned copy or clear photograph of a valid photo driving license with your current address, or a clear copy of valid passport, valid photo driving license, valid national ID card, stamped bank statements, mortgage statement and utility bill. The utility bill and bank statements must be dated within the last 3 months
- Making a trade – you will need to access the trading platform inside your brokerage account. Once you're on the trading platform, you'll need to complete information such as order type, price type etc to complete the trade. Once the brokerage has confirmed your ID, they process your application, open your stockbroking account, and this process will take a matter of 2 to 4 days. You can then begin trading online immediately.
Expertise Required to Invest with Success Online
Investing online can be absolutely thrilling and profitable. However, as a new investor, all the fun and excitement will soon dissipate if you don't have access to support around the clock from a skilled client management team.
If you experience any trading- or account difficulties, you want to know that you can quickly get in touch with a brokerage known for their expertise.

Then, for the next two months, Mars will reverse its course in the heavens and will move backward against the star background - toward the west - almost as if it had lost something. Then, on Dec. 10, it will pause again, before resuming its normal eastward movement.
Puzzling the ancients
All the planets exhibit this "retrograde motion" at one time or another. But for the longest time, the ancient astronomers were unable to come up with a satisfactory explanation for it.
For one thing, while behaving in this strange manner, Mars will also appear to deviate somewhat from its normal course; the retrograde motion will appear to bring it a little below its regular orbital track. In other words, for those of us watching from Earth, Mars will appear to travel in a loop.

The lawn is 50 ft x 50 ft. Looking at Quinkill Max crabgrass & weed killer to solve the problem. Do you recommend and if so do I need a surfactant and can I apply it with the Chapin #6005 Sprayer?
Yes, QuinKill Max should be used with a surfactant, such as Spreader Sticker. It is a post emergent labeled to kill crabgrass. When used on St. Augustine, we are unable to confirm what it will do since it is not a tolerable type of a turf.

Welcome to Starting XI, our Friday rundown of what to watch for – and what we're watching. Friendlies fill the airwaves, Wondo wins dad of the year, and we've got your back.
Don't stop there, either. FutbolMLS has your Spanish fix as well.
Our recommended musical pairing, per managing editor Jonah Freedman, is "Hold On, I'm Comin'" by Sam & Dave, because records are made to be broken...
1. WHY ALWAYS US? What a feel-good story. A former third-division loanee and a Chivas Guadalajara cast-off neck-and-neck for the Budweiser MLS Golden Boot and a shot at ultimate career redemption. That's what makes Dom Dwyer and Erick "Cubo" Torres, both on 14 goals, must-see TV this weekend as Sporting KC visit Toronto (Saturday, 7 pm ET; MLS LIVE) and Chivas USA visit Colorado (Friday, 9:30 pm ET; MLS LIVE). There's just one problem: Bradley Wright-Phillips has 17 goals, is getting constantly set up by Thierry Henry and is on pace to equal the single-season scoring record. He and New York are on a bye this weekend, but as Super Mario might say... – JONAH FREEDMAN
Big @FinallyMario fan! would have been fun thought about saving it but it's not the same if it's not against city! pic.twitter.com/4I4lPWtmbO
— Dom Dwyer (@Ddwyer14) July 24, 2014
2. TOR-SKC IS GOING TO BE "HUGE, HUGE": Sporting KC lost 4-1 to Manchester City. SKC star Matt Besler's reaction said it all: "I doubt we'll look too much into it. Tomorrow, we'll have practice and leave for Toronto – which is a huge, huge match, probably our biggest of the season so far." Friendlies are friendly. Real games are huge. Even if Jermain Defoe is suspended for this one (bummer). – GREG LALAS
3. THE VALUE OF THE FRIENDLY: OK, so this is the week MLS takes on the World (EPL?) in all the international friendlies. It's tough considering MLS is in the middle of the season. And the results from Wednesday night prove that. But we all know the results don't matter (see tweet below). That's why I – along with many others from what I can tell – would rather watch TOR-SKC on Saturday (see above) or SEA-LA on Monday (see below) than these exhibitions matches. – DIEGO PINZON
@MerrittPaulson @TalkSoccer @TaylorTwellman LA beat Juventus 3-1 in last year's friendly. Who won the Italian league again?
— sevsarkissian (@sevsarkissian) July 24, 2014
4. NEW HOTNESS: Few prospective players in the United States talent pool get supporters and head coach Jurgen Klinsmann salivating like Gedion Zelalem. The 17-year-old midfielder and Arsenal starlet was linked to a potential USMNT move this spring, and curious fans at Red Bull Arena could get a glimpse of what the kid can do on Saturday. Zelalem is among the 20 players available for Arsenal's match against the Red Bulls (5 pm ET, ESPN2), and it's likely that Arsene Wenger will empty his bench during a mostly meaningless preseason test. Stay tuned. – NICK FIRCHAU
5. VOTE FOR PEDRO: He was snubbed for the AT&T MLS All-Star Game, but that might make Vancouver Whitecaps playmaker Pedro Morales even more worth the price of admission than he already was. With all the speed and attacking flair on the field, the Vancouver-Dallas game on Saturday night (5 pm ET, MLS LIVE) might be one wild and crazy affair. – GREG LALAS
#NapoleonDynamite was released 10 years ago today. #voteforpedro http://t.co/FfC8JNlUVb pic.twitter.com/cEwMUSlD8X
— AFI (@AmericanFilm) June 11, 2014
6. RISE & SHINE: I'd love to play in the same World Cup game with Jay DeMerit or even have him on my side in a bar fight on a winter night in Wisconsin. But ultimately I think I'd rather just hear him talk. And DeMerit loves to talk. Since his emergence in 2009 as an unlikely US national team defender and then as the captain of the Vancouver Whitecaps, there were few guys in American soccer who laid it bare like DeMerit. When he announced his retirement on Thursday via a candid letter to fans, it was no surprise that it was the best retirement speech I've seen in years: emotional, reflective, funny and frank. His playing career might be over, but I promise we haven't heard the last from Jay DeMerit. – NICK FIRCHAU
7. TWEET OF THE WEEK: OCSC throwing serious shade at the NYCFC fanbase. – MATT DOYLE
Welcome Frank Lampard to @MLS pic.twitter.com/6a5GYJxEFe
— Orlando City SC (@OrlandoCitySC) July 24, 2014
8. HOUSTON BACK IN BUSINESS? Two expansion teams that have yet to play an MLS game are winning the transfer headlines (Lampard/NYCFC and Robinho/Orlando City), overshadowing the Houston Dynamo's big moves in a desperate attempt to save their season. One of those could make his debut this weekend, DaMarcus Beasley (vs. Aston Villa, Sat. at 9 pm ET on HoustonDynamo.com), but it's the unnamed "central midfielder" that could be announced as early as Friday who'll determine just how far the Dynamo can go. – SIMON BORG
9. BIG KISS: We get it, Dominic Oduro, you like Papa John's pizza. Taking a selfie? Not bad, Dom Dwyer, you get points for creativity. But the best goal celebration lately? Chris Wondolowski running over to give his baby daughter a kiss in San Jose's 5-1 win over Chicago. It might not have been audacious, but it was a tender moment that won over the hearts of, ahem, "soccer moms" everywhere. – ALICIA RODRIGUEZ
X. MONDAY NIGHT LIGHTS: You don't have to sacrifice any precious weekend hours this week for primo MLS action (we all know you will anyway). That's because Seattle play host to LA on Monday night (10 pm ET, ESPN2), one of those rare scheduling treats that make the beginning of the work week actually seem like something special. Speaking of special, Deuce and Oba (see below) vs. Keano and LD. Not bad for a Monday. — ANDREW WIEBE
11. BECAUSE JAPAN: Always Japan. – MATT DOYLE

Anyhow, im down to hang, bs, have a joe, and learn a few spots to drive around here. Tuesday nights bww has the specials and im near woodward
We used to meet on Tuesdays for the BWW specials and such. After 6 or 7 years of the same stuff the meet started to hop around a bit. The BWW in Novi has a lot of parking lot to choose from. It's in a bit of a shopping complex with a couple other bars and a movie theatre. In the past I believe we actually had a loitering permit/agreement with the property owners allowing us to congregate in the parking lot without being bothered by the police. I don't know if that's still valid or even an option.
Old meets used to start around 7:30 with food/beer at BWW and end up bs'ing and having a good time in the parking lot until 11:00. I wouldn't mind seeing that type of attendance and fun again. It's been a long time since we brought lawn chairs and RC cars to a Subaru meet just to pass the time and laugh with friends. Been a really long time since someone "stole" a wheel off mykrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr's car.
For the moment I have soccer games on Monday and Thursday nights. With temps getting cold I'll be on Ski Patrol at one of the local ski bumps as soon as they make snow. Starting in early January I know myself and at least 2 other "regular" meet attendees will be up in Sault Ste. Marie for winter vehicle testing...probably through the end of February. I'm not likely to attend a meet until spring.
You guys figure out where and when you want to have meets and I'll update the thread title and the first couple posts with new information. You can also check over on misubie.com and michiganace.com to find more of the local Subie crowd who might attend meets.

We can imagine the conversation with former American Music
Club leader, Mark Eitzel, born this day long ago and far away somewhere in the
wilds of Ohio.
Addicted To Noise: Hey, Happy Birthday Mark. How's it
Mark: Not to good. My band broke up.
ATN: So sorry to hear it.
How'd that happen?
Mark: I broke it up.
ATN: Oh.
So it's gone
for Eitzel, who moved to San Francisco in 1980 seeking punk rock fun in the
sun, and found instead a chilly beach littered with perforated condoms and
broken wine bottles. Out of this profound disappointment arose American Music
Club. With press notices so sparkling that you'd expect their wing in the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame to already to be under construction, but records sales
that would barely cover a space in the Hall of Fame parking lot, AMC engendered
disappointment on a truly Herculean level. With each new release, the band
champions would exult that this was the expression of greatness that
would surely corral something closer to a mass audience. To which rock radio
and MTV--who claim to represent the taste of the American mass audience--would
inevitably answer "huh?" Eitzel had enough of this, and downsized his
professional operation, disbanding AMC late last year, and striking out alone
with his first domestic solo album (out on Feb. 6) and titled 60 Watt Silver
Lining. Through all of this Eitzel and his followers may have discovered
that they were truly made for each other, and we don't see that as a
disappointment at all. Other birthdays today are Phil Collins, Rock and Roll
Hall of Famer Ruth Brown, Grammy winner Jody Watley, Rock and Roll Hall of
Famer Marty Balin (Jefferson Airplane) and Steve Marriott (Humble

Lavazza - Buongiorno K-Cup Packs
Follow-up to the successful Buongiorno campaign this time introducing the K-Cup packs. The key visual is graphically based on the "iconic swirl" directing from the packaging as the essence "passion" coming out from the coffee (the smoke out of the cup). It's a salute to a good day (buongiorno in Italian) in the most intimate and perfect moment in the morning when your day 'officially' begins.
Advertising, Art Direction, Typography,
Follow-up of the succesful Buongiorno campaign now introducing the new K-Cup Packs in the US market. The essence of the campaing remains the same, only a different media approach, new posters, new video, and new packshot is introduced.
The campaign runned on newspapers and magazines in the U.S. It was geolocated on 4 different metropolitan areas: New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
The iconic visuals inside the smoke, coming out of the package to form the iconic design, are interpreted by the Italian calligrapher and type-designer Luca Barcellona.
The iconic visuals inside the smoke, coming out of the package to form the iconic design, are interpreted by the Italian calligrapher and type-designer Luca Barcellona.
The story about the passion and dedication to coffee of the Lavazza family, narrated in a poetical style with illustrations by Emiliano Ponzi animated by the WeAreCaptive team. The voiceover on this video was done by Francesca Lavazza herself. The video was featured on Lavazza's website.
From the aroma of the coffee the message takes the distinct shape that characterizes the package and then goes away introducing the new product. The video pre-roll was geocalized on youtube for North American
The posters were present in various metro station and bus shelters around New York and Chicago, including Grand Central Station, Port Authority Terminal & Millennium Station.
Alberto Baccari teamed up with We Are Social to create a Facebook App which permited the user to discover various Lavazza blends, share 1 out of 4 Buongiorno messages, and the possibility to win a trip to Italy.

Jeremy Scott's spring 2013 adidas Originals catalog might be his most impactful set to date, but does our expectation for the designer's wild output dull the first impression? Not when he keeps raising the envelope like this eye-bleedingly intricate Jeremy Scott x adidas Originals JS Wings. Roy G. Biv doesn't get a collaborator credit but his handiwork covers the entirety of this hologram treated design now several degrees away from the Metro Attitude's roundball roots. Have a closer look after the jump and stick with Sneaker News as we approach the 'Hologram' JS Wings release date.

Not too many MCs follow the MC appellation with something so simple, but then not too many MCs sound like they spend their days submerged in a helium tank. MC Chris is somewhat of an enigma.
MC Chris, aka Christopher Ward, is as much comedy as he is hip-hop. His high voice, alt-aesthetic and high intellect have made him a valuable commodity outside of his hip-hop following. Film director Kevin Smith featured an MC Chris song in Zack and Miri Make a Porno and the MC wrote the theme song for Smith's popular podcast, the SModcast.
MC Chris is also a favorite with Adult Swim fans. He voiced Aqua Teen Hunger Force character MC Pee Pants, as well as the acerbic, self-unaware Hesh Hepplewhite on Sealab 2021. MC Chris is letting his geek flag fly and touring behind his seventh release, Race Wars (Sept. 2011, self-released). Check out "Jelly Inside."

"Cancer can destroy the body but it cannot kill the heart." By Norine V. Rathbone January 17, 2001
This has been my life mantra since January 17, 2001 which is the date of my double mastectomy. I wrote it to remind myself that I may lose parts of my body to the disease but that disease was no way in hell going to take my life dreams away from me. Especially the baseball.
I just finished my rookie year in baseball when at the end of it playing the sport with the men that my mammogram came up positive with two breast tumors. Boy was I ever mad! I worked so hard all my life to play baseball and now even my own body was denying me the right to make my dream a long time reality.
And yes I do live by my own words…
These are my dragon boat racing breast cancer survivor teammates. We are the Pink Paddlers. Five of them are no longer with us. Cancer took five fine ladies from us. Sucks. Cancer really sucks. I have worse words to say about cancer but I'm not allowed to print them here.

The Long and Short of Retail Investing
February 2017
When investing in retail, it's paramount to evaluate not only the prospective investment return but the value the retailer provides its customer. The value can be tangible or perceived but it's important to empathize and observe the core customer in order to properly assess the business' intrinsic value. As illustrated in the graphic below, I evaluate the customer value proposition on three dimensions: price, differentiation, and convenience.
In addition to evaluating a retailer on each dimension, I also consider the symphony of these factors and assess the sustainability over the long run. In my experience, three qualities that excellent retail businesses share are: positive traffic, ample investment opportunities (new stores or e-commerce), and stable returns on invested capital (ROIC). Additionally, given the secular shift toward e-commerce distribution, I evaluate the company's e-commerce strategy through the lens of the key product it sells. Products that are sold at a low price, possess a low value-to-weight ratio, rely on olfactory or tactile senses, or are perishable in nature are well suited for bricks and mortar retail distribution but not easily distributed by an online retailer such as Amazon.
For example, TJX Companies, Inc. (TJX) offers its customers incredible deals on branded merchandise in a convenient location. To some degree, TJX is the equivalent of a local miniature outlet mall. TJX's talented merchant team, combined with vast brand relationships, creates the "treasure hunt" that generates surprise, excitement, and most importantly, traffic. In the case of Dollar General Corp. (DG), customers on limited budgets are provided a convenient shop at value price points. Given the financially stretched nature of Dollar General's core customer, the absolute dollar cost—not the per-unit cost—is the key consideration. As illustrated in the graph below, items with prices below $5 generate over three quarters of DG's sales.
Dollar General: Emphasis on Price Point of $5 or Less
Source: Dollar General 2016 Investor Day presentation
On the short side, I identify businesses that rely heavily on price increases to grow sales, have few reinvestment opportunities, exhibit declining returns on capital, and sell product that can be easily distributed online.
The nature of retail—fragmented and highly competitive—makes it difficult to increase prices year in and year out1. For example, current short investments such as American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. (AEO) and Big Lots, Inc. (BIG) appear to owe most sales growth to price increases. Additionally, each company is closing stores and places a large emphasis on share repurchases. Store closings and share repurchases are not necessarily good or bad in and of themselves, but the wisdom and long-term results of such decisions can vary greatly over time.
In terms of declining ROIC, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (WMT) ticks the box. As illustrated in the table below, Wal-Mart's ROIC and return on assets (ROA) have been primarily flat or in decline since 2007.
Wal-Mart: Return on Invested Capital and Return on Assets
Source: Wal-Mart annual reports
Best Buy Co., Inc. (BBY) sells ubiquitous product that can be easily distributed online. The lack of traffic driving product such as packaged media (CD, DVD) makes each customer visit more important to convert into a sale, which creates a higher pressure store environment and a worse customer experience. In order to verify my claim, I recommend visiting your local Best Buy on a Saturday afternoon to observe customers' body language—particularly hunched shoulders and crossed arms—while upgrading their smart phone. And while management deserves credit for delivering solid fiscal 2017 results, I remain skeptical that Best Buy will continue to produce consistent profits over the long run.
A final consideration on the short side is the risk of a leveraged buyout or permanent impairment of capital. In addition to calculating the intrinsic value of a potential short, I calculate an approximate private equity valuation to minimize the risk of my short investment being taken private. As recent articles in the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg indicate, results of various retail leverage buyout companies have been poor, thus reducing the probability of a permanent impairment of capital via a leveraged buyout.
The long and short of retail is that it's a tough business and investing in retail businesses requires the flexibility to think long and short.
1Purveyors of luxury goods such as Louis Vuitton (LVMH) are an exception given the affluent customer profile. Please refer to our October 2013 Industry Perspective for more detail.
As of January 31, 2017, Diamond Hill owned shares of TJX, DG, and LVMH. As of January 31, 2017, Diamond Hill held short positions in BIG, AEO, WMT, and BBY.

Jehovah's Witnesses have been ordered to pay $13.5 million to a San Diego man who claims he was sexually abused by a bible teacher as a child.
Jose Lopez, 36, filed the lawsuit four years ago against the organization that runs the church, the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, saying he was molested in 1986.
According to Lopez, he was seven years old when he was molested by church leader Gonzalo Campos while a member of the Spanish congregation in the Linda Vista section of San Diego.
"It's never going to be over for me," Lopez told reporters during a press conference on Friday. "It was just a horrible thing and I want people to know what happened to me," he said.
Seven other people, six men and one woman, also claim they were molested by Campos and settled out of court.
Mario Moreno, a lawyer for the church, called the decision by San Diego Superior Judge Joan Lewis "drastic" in a statement and said the church would appeal.
"Jehovah's Witnesses abhor child abuse and strive to protect children from such acts," the statement said.
Lopez's lawyer, Irwin Zalkin, told reporters the Jehovah's Witness church has a culture of secrecy.
"These guys will deny and deny, they are belligerent, they are arrogant, they treat victims as adversaries," he said.
Zalkin said the church allowed Campos to work with Lopez even though it knew he admitted to molesting another boy in 1982. According to Zalkin, the church believed he was "repentant" of his actions and could once again be trusted with young boys.

IS and Islamic flags burned amid Lebanon´s growing sectarian tension
An IS flag, similar to the one shown, was burnt in Ashrafieh, a predominantly Christian neighborhood in Beirut, on the weekend (AFP/ File Archive).
Sectarian tensions in Lebanon soared over the weekend after an IS flag was burned in Ashrafieh and churches were graffitied in Tripoli, with local politicians divided over how to react.
A picture of three boys burning Islamic flags that have been adopted by jihad groups – including IS and Nusra Front – printed on large pieces of paper was widely circulated on social media Saturday morning.
The incident took place in Ashrafieh's Sassine Square, a predominantly Christian neighborhood in Beirut, and emerged just a day after IS allegedly beheaded Ali al-Sayyed, a Lebanese soldier who was among 29 security personnel captured by Nusra Front and IS during five days of fighting in Arsal earlier last month. Some 24 are still being detained.
In an apparent reaction to the flag burning, "The Islamic State is coming" was spray-painted on two of Tripoli's churches – a Syriac church in Mina and the Mar Mikhael Church in the Qibbeh area. Further, media reports said crosses were burned in Tripoli's majority Sunni Bab al-Tabbaneh neighborhood Saturday night by a man identified as A.M., who is wanted under multiple arrest warrants, according to Elnashra news agency.
The incidents have prompted debate over the boundaries of freedom of expression in a country battling a regionwide tide of extremism.
Justice Minister Ashraf Rifi has demanded the teens be prosecuted on the grounds that their actions were offensive to Muslims. As well as the full Arabic name for IS, the flags that were burned included the Islamic shahada, "There is no god but God, Mohammad is the messenger of God."
"IS has stolen the flag of 1.3 billion Muslims," Rifi said Sunday before heading into a security meeting. "We will protect our national unity by law. We prevented reactions and our duty is to protect religious symbols."
His response came a day after he said the religious symbol on the flag "has nothing to do with IS its terrorist approach."
Rifi has asked State Prosecutor Samir Hammoud to follow up on the case, given that Lebanese law punishes acts that disrespect religious symbols and incite sectarian strife. Hammoud has since referred the case to the Criminal Investigation Department to launch an investigation into the Ashrafieh incident.
Rifi announced in a statement early Sunday that he would also take the necessary measures to investigate the incident in which crosses were burned, as such sectarian acts harm national unity. He also assigned Hammoud with follow-up on the case. An investigation into the acts in Tripoli is also underway.
Tourism Minister Michel Pharaon joined Rifi in condemning the burning of the flags.
"We should keep in mind that the fight against extremism is the fight of people, state and Army. It is fought by Muslims and Christians together," Pharaon said in a statement.
The Christian MP from Ashrafieh warned citizens against falling into the trap of "sectarian provocation" that could spark discord in Lebanon.
"In our unity we will be able to confront terrorism that comes from abroad ... instead of burning any flag, let [citizens] raise the Lebanese flag."
Nevertheless, Rifi's call to prosecute the three youths sparked a lot of controversy and criticism, with one MP offering to be the perpetrators' lawyer should the case make it to court.
"It's unacceptable to witness our country going after those who are expressing the opinion of many and [tackling] a national case, while it leaves criminals on the run," said MP Ibrahim Kanaan, a member of the Free Patriotic Movement.
Kanaan announced that he would represent the young men in court once the prosecutor took action.
"I will continue this file until the end and what happened in Ashrafieh is [an act] against terrorism and not against religion."
Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil called on Christian youths to refrain from equating IS to Islam, saying the religion had nothing to do with the radical group.
However, he also implicitly criticized Rifi's decision.
"As for those who burned the flag, it would have been sufficient if we simply directed their attention to it," he said in a statement.
Kataeb MP Nadim Gemayel cast doubt on the legitimacy of the photograph, claiming that it looked at least three weeks old based on the features of Sassine Square and expressing his fear that this was part of a ploy.
"The [young men] that burned the flag are innocent until proven guilty," he said when asked about Rifi's decision, adding that citizens should not get involved in acts "that threaten peace."

Big chub bonus in Hampshire Avon catch
A session on the Hampshire Avon produced this 22lb bag of dace and roach, plus a bonus 5lb 7oz chub, for Stuart Walker.
Targeting the river near Salisbury in Wiltshire, a long way from his home in Yorkshire, the 38-year-old used a light stickfloat in 4ft of water, feeding maggots, hemp and brown crumb. The Caught In The Act DVD star said: "The weather was bright so all the action came in the morning and the last few hours before dark. When the light was fading it was a bite a chuck. I fished 3lb mainline, a 2lb 12oz hooklink and a size 16 Drennan Wide Gape Specialist hook, under an alloy stick."
