The vey limited special series carbon-fiber behemoth has surprisingly gone topless without anyone noticing it – so the Monterey Car Week premiere was a welcomed surprise.
The Italian automaker first treated us to the anniversary Centenario – dubbed after the 100th birth of its founding father Ferruccio – this spring during the Geneva Motor Show in March and we already know all examples had been signed off even before the rumor mill caught wind of the model being prepared. What we hadn't seen though was the topless version – because 20 coupes and 20 roadsters would be manufactured and the first unveiling only brought to our attention the former. Lamborghini has revealed during the Monterey event the other side of the "coin" by publicly showcasing for the first time the Centenario Roadster. Both sister series have been already sold, so don't get your hopes up.
As is the case with the coupe version, the Centenario Roadster is a hardcore variant of the Aventador and the signature sharp-edged design can be seen everywhere, complimented by lots of carbon fiber. We have large carbon-fiber side skirts, splitters, and winglets – and for the Roadster the company has opted for a more serious blueish – silver hue. The heart and soul is the 6.5-liter V12 capable of 759 horsepower, which can propel the supercar to 62 mph (100 km/h) in under three seconds.

Don't work with Tahoe factory head unit
2004 Chevrolet Tahoe
Have 04 Tahoe, no Bose system. Installed these on one side and compared to the factory and they sounded terrible! Factory side was far better. I was excited to have these and very bummed that they did not work. They were miserable. I lost tons of time because install was not easy, the 6.5" mids dont come close to fitting the metra 82-3002 door adapters, so I put them straight on the door, I also made plastic adapter for door mount tweeters in same spot...
Pros: none
Cons: they are useless, sound far worse than factory componentsCrutchfield response on 9/26/2017 If you purchased this product from Crutchfield, feel free to contact our Tech Support team.

actually, for some years now, you don't even have to make the claim - intellectual property automatically has copyright protection. when you capture an image, it's copyrighted.
you can also register your work in DC if you're in the us, but that just sets you up to be able to seek punitive damages if you find someone copying your work.
the sad fact is that there's not really too much small operations can do if they find infringement - the legal costs will kill you.
wwith the common perception that data wants to be free, piracy has just increased. I sell photography, and have always hada policy of giving away web sized versions of images in return for a link. i keep the hi-res images protected til purchase

It is a Copyright not a copy write so the term is copyrighted - sounds strange but is correct. As to the legal particulars it has always been my understanding that an artist or writer need only claim copyrights to their work and it is then copyrighted. It is little more than making a claim that 'this is owned" and therefore cannot legally be reproduced without my permission. I am not an attorney but that is the extent of my understanding

New UK Highway Code Recognizes Riders Safety Needs
- Jun 18, 1999
- Topics:
The new Highway Code in the UK contains welcome instructions to drivers about the need to take care when passing horses on the roads, thanks to persistent lobbying by the British Horse Society (BHS).
The previous version paid scant regard to the motorist's responsibility towards horses and riders on the road, limiting instruction to a brief caution about groups of riders that might contain learners. The new Code, in addition to giving detailed advice about animals generally, gives specific instruction to motorists to be particularly careful of horses and riders, especially when overtaking. "Always pass wide and slow. Horse riders are often children, so take extra care and remember riders may ride in double file when escorting a young or inexperienced horse rider. Look out for horse riders' signals and heed a request to slow down or stop. Treat all horses as a potential hazard and take great care."
BHS Head of Public Affairs, Janet George, said that the BHS is delighted that the Department of Transport has adopted the Society's recommendations. "It is a useful step forward in our battle to reduce the number of accidents involving horses and riders. Hopefully, it will encourage those police forces who do not take accidents involving horses seriously enough to re-examine their stance. From January 1999, police forces have been required to keep statistics on horse-related accidents—but only when they result in injury to riders. If it is `only' an injured or dead horse, it doesn't have to be counted. We are aware of accidents resulting from careless driving that resulted in no action from police—because the only victim was someone's much-loved horse. These changes to the Highway Code place much more responsibility upon the driver, and we will be lobbying police forces around the country to ensure drivers who show scant regard for horse and rider safety face an appropriate penalty."
The BHS emphasises that horse riders must abide by the Highway Code's Rules for Horseriders, which have also been expanded, and recommends that all riders should consider taking the BHS Road Safety Test.

Please click on the "Read Case" button on the left navigation column to learn more about each case and review evidence collected.
After a full nights investigation, we were able to address the concerns of the client but could unfortunately not find any conclusive answers. Other explanations were instead found to support a more natural hypothesis for the activity - The shadowy apparitions seen were unfortunately not caught on any device. Low EMF was not to account for any type of hallucinations. One possible explanation given is that objects seen at the corner of one's eye can be mistaken for a humanoid shape, as the brain tries to decipher missing pieces of an object. This is a common occurrence when someone says they "See something out of the corner of their eye" and then its gone. The boxes moved in the attic were also unexplained. but we believe that the boxes were simply stocked in a position that was unstable. As attics tend to have loose foundations, especially during the cold winter nights and warmer days with contracting wood, it is possible the contents simply shifted and fell out. In terms of various voices and feelings heard/felt in some bedrooms, it was found that a high base EMF was located around the bed that went into the upwards of 2.4-5.8 milligauus. Sleeping in such a high base EMF may produce vivid hallucinations combined with dreams.
Now with all of that being said, the case was not without its mysteries. During one part of the investigation, a flashlight was seen turning itself on and off on a bed. Batteries were checked on the flashlight and it appeared to be in normal working condition before and after the mysterious occurrence. At this time we do not have any natural explanations for why this would have occurred beyond a complete unusual malfunction of the flashlight for a short period of time. In addition, we discovered an audio clip of a female that may appear to say something. The voice of the female is in question however between paranormal and natural as other investigators were heard talking in a previous room. The clip may say the words "Please Help Me", but we leave the interpretations of the voice to the client as this is an ambiguous piece of data.
Overall the SP team found many natural explanations for the claims that should alleviate the fear that the client was having in the home. Some recommendations we found to stop this phenomena would be to remove the client from the high EMF by moving around the furniture to avoid this base EMF spot. In terms of the activity found we were confused by this and would like to investigate this further.
Investigation - Return to Johnson City NY Home
Date: 4/16/10
Location: Johnson City NY
Evidence Found:
Comments:The team traveled back to Johnson City to investigate the various claims of a household that held shadow apparitions, objects moving, and phantom voices. Similar to the previous case, no concrete evidence was found to locate shadow apparitions, but several strong shadows were detected that may allude to someone seeing what they think is a "shadow" apparition. These could be caused by various objects, as well as our eye not perceiving the entire shape of the object. Various sounds heard could also likely be created when someone is sleeping or near-sleeping with high EMF located near the bedroom areas. High EMF combined with dream-like states may enhance hallucinations, depending on how sensitive someone may be to the field. We also did notice that the flashlight that may be turning on and off could have been more likely to be natural, due to the fact that an additional flashlight caused the same effect. As it happens more often, a piece of evidence is likely to be more natural than if it occurred only once.
One new interesting piece of data we found from a thermal imager camera. A large blob like heat signature that appears as blue appears in a window, with no apparent reason. As it is blue, it is colder than the rest of the area., making this unlikely to be a person. It may be a temperature reflection however, so we are unsure on this image. We also located a possible EVP response in a bedroom, which again leaves us with more questions
The SP team was able to find many natural solutions to their claims as well as new evidence that cannot be debunked. A recommendation of the SP team to stop some of the natural phenomena would be to move alarm clocks (where high EMF is present) farther away from where someone may sleep, as well as possible changing the location of the bed in the mother's room to a spot with less EMF. Activity occurring must be looked at as a mostly natural phenomena, and any new activity must be looked at in comparison to areas of high EMF.

Reamer examines the ethics involving intimate and sexual relationships with clients and former clients, practitioners' self-disclosure, giving and receiving favors and gifts, bartering for services, and unavoidable and unanticipated circumstances such as social encounters and geographical proximity. Case vignettes help illustrate important points. Reamer also gives practical risk-management models to aid human service professionals in the prevention of problematic situations and the managing of dual relationships.
Noting that boundary issues in therapist-client relations are a recent focus of his own evolving concern with professional ethics as well as of the literature in the human services field, Reamer examines key concepts, needs, and unavoidable/unanticipated circumstances in dual relationships through case study examples.

Picture: Jade Goody's mother Jackiey Budden leaving the Royal Marsden hospital where Jade's two sons were due to be christened today London, England - 07.03.09
A woman armed with a hammer has confronted TV reality star Jade Goody while she received hospital treatment.
Jade's publicist Max Clifford said her husband Jack Tweed has left her side for a few minutes when the intruder entered the room at Royal Marsden hospital in west London carrying the hammer.
Clifford claimed Goody had not been injured in the ordeal but was left "very shaken up".
The former Big Brother contestant has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and informed she may only have weeks to live.
Speaking to Radio 1, Clifford explained Tweed had left his wife's bedside to visit the hospital canteen at around 15:00 GMT yesterday.
Jade then woke up to find the woman leaning over her hospital bed.
"It's very distressing, particularly when you are so weak and so vulnerable, Clifford said.
"It has made her even keener to try and get home as soon as possible."
The Metropolitan police also confirmed a 41-year-old woman had been arrested following the incident.
A statement declared: "We can confirm that police were called to the Royal Marsden hospital Sunday afternoon by security to reports of an unknown woman being in a patient's room.
"Officers attended and a 41-year-old woman was searched and found in possession of a hammer and was arrested for possession of an offensive weapon and taken into custody at a west London police station where she remains in custody."
Jade's was christening alongside her two sons Bobby, five, and Freddy, four, earlier in the weekend.

Since moving back to the UK, it's been understandably difficult to maintain this blog: after all, I'm no longer a Brit abroad. Fortunately, I travel enough to make the occasional post possible. But what all these weekend trips overseas have made me realise is how little I've seen of my own country. Unless I have a friend who lives somewhere, chances are I won't have been there. It's embarrassing really; I've probably been to more provinces in Spain than I have English counties. This needs to change: after all, who knows how long I'll be based on this island?
When I was recently offered the chance to visit Woodstock, I accepted gladly. After all, the pretty little Cotswold town is only 8 miles outside of Oxford, my current home. Despite this, I'd only ever driven through Woodstock once, en route to Blenheim Palace on the outskirts. 'A big rock festival was held here in the 60s', my mum announced as we drove through the sleepy streets. My 15-year-old self looked back at her witheringly and said, 'That was in America'. So I knew there wasn't going to be any rock and roll on the agenda for this visit, but I was hoping for some relaxation, good food and a touch of luxury.
|A watercolour of Woodstock by local artist Rod Craig
The word 'England' conjures up many different images, but I imagine that if many of those overseas were asked to picture an English town, they'd think of somewhere like Woodstock. Located in the beautiful Cotswolds area of southern England, Woodstock is one well turned-out town: think honey-coloured sandstone buildings peeping out from under a veil of ivory, cute local shops with painted wooden window frames, cosy pubs and a church so picturesque it's a listed building. Low-key and easy to navigate, it's an ideal weekend escape for city dwellers. Those seeking a bit of culture with their mini-break can tour grandiose Blenheim Palace, Winston Churchill's birthplace and the home of the current Duke of Marlborough. With stately rooms and acres of gardens designed by Capability Brown to explore, the palace could keep you occupied for hours. Intensive sightseeing's optional though: a stroll around the central streets, popping in and out of cafés, pubs and shops is more than sufficient for many visitors. For me, the main attraction of Woodstock wasn't to be found in palatial surroundings or out on the streets, though: it was on my plate.
|Hampers deli
For somewhere so small, Woodstock isn't short on dining options. To stock up on the finest English produce to take home, whether it be local bread and cheese or gourmet charcuterie, Hampers Food & Wine Company can cater to your cravings. There's also an on-site café if waiting until you get home just isn't an option. Traditional afternoon teas can be found at Harriet's, which has a dangerously tempting array of sweet treats, while more hearty British fare is on offer at Woodstock's many pubs. For casual dining, there's also Brothertons Brasserie, which serves a range of well-prepared British dishes (such as wild boar casserole with mash). If you're looking for something upmarket, it's got to be The King's Arms, which was recently awarded an AA Rosette. I opted for traditional Sardinian fare at Italian restaurant La Galleria: it may look like someone's lounge in the late 1980s, but the quality cooking was timeless, and the restaurant's popularity undeniable: every table was occupied. Woodstock's pick of places to dine only looks set to increase: top chef Marco Pierre White has recently obtained a hotel in Woodstock, which will also house one of his Wheeler's gastropubs.
|Hope House
Quality cooking is equally important at Hope House, as I discovered over breakfast the next morning. The ancestral home of the Money family was converted into a boutique B & B in 2009, and with just three swish suites, it's an exclusive address. With roll-top baths, sofas you can sink into and ludicrously comfortable beds with designer bedlinen, a stay at Hope House certainly provided both the luxury and the relaxation I'd been hoping for. The locally-sourced breakfast was second-to-none, with a huge variety of cereals, fruit, yoghurt, home-made pastries, cheeses and meats – and that's before you get to the cooked breakfast options. With all the components of a full English (plus a few extras) served in any combination of your stomach's desire, even the fussiest of customers can't go wrong at Hope House.
My weekend in Woodstock taught me something: instead of getting out of the UK, I need to get out in the UK. When I'm lucky enough to have beautiful towns like this on my doorstep, there's really no excuse.
I was a guest of Hope House. You can read my full breakfast review here.

Original paper
Crystal structure of natrite, gamma-Na2CO3
Zubkova, N.V.; Pushcharovsky, D.Y.u.; Ivaldi, G.; Ferraris, G.; Pekov, I.V.; Chukanov, N.V.
Neues Jahrbuch für Mineralogie - Monatshefte Jg. 2002 Heft 2 (2002), p. 85 - 96
published: Feb 8, 2002
A new occurrence of natrite, γ-Na2(CO3), was discovered as monomineral lenses (more than 20 cm in size) in pegmatites of Mt. Koashva, Khibiny alkaline massif, Kola peninsula, Russia. Electron microprobe, XRD, IR and optical data for natrite of this new occurrence are given. A single-crystal fragment isolated from polysynthetic twinned material was used for collecting X-ray single-crystal data: λ(MoKα) = 0.71073 Å, C2/m, a = 8.905(4), b = 5.237(3), c = 6.045(2) Å, β = 101.32(3)°, 1290 reflections. Satellite reflections on oscillation photographs indicate the presence of modulation in the structure of natrite. The average structure converged to R = 0.106; models with (i) all atomic positions split and (ii) anharmonic thermal displacement parameters applied to unsplit atoms converged to R = 0.036 and 0.029 respectively. The structure of natrite contains [001] columns formed by face sharing Na octahedra and further 7-fold coordinated Na polyhedra; the columns are connected by CO3 groups.

New blocking powers to protect children online
Pornographic websites that refuse to stop children accessing explicit content will be blocked under new Government plans.
Regulator the British Board of Film Classification BBFC will be given powers to make internet service providers restrict access to pornographic sites which do not put tough age verification measures in place to protect kids.
Amendments to the Digital Economy Bill bringing in the robust new measure will be tabled next week and is the latest tool to stop children viewing adult content online.
Karen Bradley, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, said:
The Government is committed to keeping children safe from harmful pornographic content online and that is exactly what we are doing.
Only adults should be allowed to view such content and we have appointed a regulator, BBFC, to make sure the right age checks are in place to make that happen. If sites refuse to comply, they should be blocked.
The Digital Economy Bill already contains measures to bring in age verification for pornographic sites and the ability to withdraw payment services from non-compliant sites – hitting them in the pocket.
This latest measure will allow the BBFC to go further by directing ISPs to block access to rogue sites.
The Government has been working with the ISPs and the BBFC on the move to ensure it will be successful in protecting children.
It is also seeking co-operation from other supporting services like servers to crack down on wrongdoers.
The measures will protect children from accessing pornography online, just as they are protected offline.
The risks and harm to young children who view pornography are real. Not only can it distress them, it can have a damaging impact on how they view sex and relationships for the rest of their lives.
A recent survey by the NSPCC found that 47% of 11-16 year olds had accessed an adult site and that one in five 11-17 year olds said they had seen pornographic images that shocked or upset them.
The regulator BBFC will be given the powers to direct ISPs to prevent access to any site that doesn't have age verification in place. If sites won't take the step to ensure children can't access their content, this new power will make sure they can't by preventing viewers accessing the site.
The amendment will allow the age verification regulator, BBFC, to issue a notice to ISPs, and those that cover mobile network operators, to prevent access to websites that have no or inadequate age-verification for pornographic material.
The regulator will have flexibility with a range of options and which one they use will depend on the circumstances of any given case. However, once they have been instructed to act, ISPs will prevent access to the whole pornography site.

Are you looking for a knee brace sleeve?
2 Primary Forms of Knee Sleeves
Let's speak about the two main forms of knee brace sleeves. You don't desire to get the incorrect type, which means you are recommended by us go through this free of charge facts.
Knee Sleeves

The only way scientists can study dinosaurs is by their fossils. Bill Nye gives his spin on dinosaurs and theories about their extinction in Bill Nye the Science Guy: Dinosaurs. The big creatures didn't leave much else behind, but the bones tell interesting stories. Drawing on his experience as a stand-up comic, Nye keeps his show light, but the science instruction is formidable. He shows how the dinosaur bones were protected by substances such as mud or sand, and explains the process by which they absorbed minerals.

Listen to Herb Harris, and Councilmember Alexander:
"The corporate influence… that is undermining the City Council is in full display with this nomination," D.C. Consumer Utility Board chairman Herb Harris told TheFightBack Wednesday at a protest outside the John A. Wilson Building. Civic and union leaders gathered to call on the D.C. Council, and Ward 7 Councilmember Yvette Alexander in particular, to hold a vote on Mayor Vincent Gray's nomination to the Public Service Commission, Elizabeth "Betty" Noel.
"This woman has been scrutinized more than a U.S. Supreme Court justice," said Metro Council President Jos Williams. "We call upon Yvette Alexander to release Betty Noel." Williams let councilmembers know that Noel's nomination was "a litmus test," and he called for the vote to come prior to the April 3 primary election so unions can use the polls to let politicians "know where labor stands."
For eighteen years, Betty Noel served as head of the D.C. Office of People's Counsel, where she fought to ensure that D.C.'s electric, gas and phone utilities provided quality service at a fair price. As a result of her work as a consumer advocate, Noel has built up a broad-base of support, at least among residents.
Utility companies, led by Pepco, launched a campaign to ensure that Noel isn't confirmed to the three-member PSC, which regulates them. So far, the effort has been a success, as Councilmember Alexander, who chairs the Committee on Public Services and Consumer Affairs, has refused to bring Noel's nomination to a vote. Although that appears to be changing.
"There will be a [committee] markup before the end of this month," Alexander told protesters Wednesday. "Either it'll be an approval or disapproval resolution, but there will be a vote."
"I would love to approve the mayor's nomination," Alexander said of Noel, whom she characterized as "more than qualified." But Alexander also echoed Pepco and the Washington Post's objections to Noel's nomination, saying her work as People's Counsel would force her to have to recuse herself from many cases before the PSC.
A Dec. 13 Post editorial noted, "Ms. Noel would, at an annual salary of $146,457, be constrained from participating in more than half the current cases." But Harris contends that many of the open cases are old and non-critical, and therefore Noel shouldn't be punished for PSC's inefficiencies, which only point up the need for her nomination to be approved.
"She's the best appointment this mayor or any mayor has made in decades," DC Tenants' Advocacy Coalition's Jim McGrath told protesters. In a recent TENAC press release, McGrath wrote: "This city is rapidly becoming unaffordable for all but the well-to-do and forcing an exodus of poor and limited income people. The cost of living is spiraling here, fed in large part by exorbitant utility costs. Betty Noel is one of the few people capable of reversing that trend."

the actual title of this track is The Boat Song, and there's supposed to be a Viking tradition of sending off the dead in flaming boats. so the chorus about rowing a boat to the OTHER shore is like crossing over to the OTHER side.
and then i feel like the book he's talking about could be the Bible because he said he lent the book to help the person over night, and the Bible is definately a comfort book for some people. also light coming from open eyes, is like the realisation death is upon them, but it's been accepted. it goes on to talk about this during the college years stanza, with holding close the fear and hate of letting go.
the next couple lines seem to be talking about maybe squaring up or making peace with God or some other higher power before the person goes, as symbolized by the Sunday confession lines and then on with the line "it's all fine with me"
so in conclusion i feel like this song is about accepting death as a natural inevitability. the chorus also creates a sense that there's a greater being waiting for us when we die, like with the hold hand holding and "we". it creates a sense of comfort really.
and i love how Ludo's able to take a topic that's kindof frightening for most and turn it into something so relaxing and pretty. love this band

Cort seals Canaries switch
Carl Cort has joined Norwich City for the remainder of the season after impressing Canaries boss Glenn Roeder.
Last Updated: 09/12/08 2:41pm
Carl Cort believes he is in the best physical and mental condition he has experienced for years, after joining Norwich City for the remainder of the season.
The former Leicester, Wolves and Newcastle striker had been training with The Canaries over the past few weeks and clearly did enough to impress manager Glenn Roeder.
Cort spent half of last season at Leicester, but only made 14 Championship appearances without finding the back of the net.
The 31-year-old, who once cost Newcastle £7million, admits he was not quite right physically or mentally to play professional football last season.
However, Cort is excited about the chance to play for the Carrow Road side and is hoping to make his debut against Watford on Wednesday.
"I'm very excited," he told Sky Sports News on joining the East Anglian outfit.
"Thinking about being in this situation last year I would probably have laughed actually because I was in a bad way physically and mentally.
"But the way I feel now I feel fantastic. It's probably the fittest I've been in several years now.
"If I can play a part in tomorrow's game I'll be delighted."

text: Hi- I've got a very odd problem that just came up last night as I was pulling my Wii Component Cable out of receiver. I heard a a quick pop and then my receiver shut down. When I turned it back on, the video on my Wii was missing the color red. I've troubleshooted it and determined some circuit has blown in the Wii. I have replaced the component cable and put it into different component ports in my receiver. The ports work fine with other equipment and a replacement cable has no effect. What's really interesting is that when I switch to the old composite cables, the colors are actually fine. There must be some ciruit specific to the red component jack that is shot inside the system, which is rather interesting. At any rate, I'm thinking of pushing this system onto my in-laws, who have a working Wii, but rarely use it and only use it in standard definition. I would then take their system and start from scratch, but with HD that actually functions. First question- Anyone ever heard of this problem and know of a solution. Google is failing me obvsiously. Second question- How can I reset my softmodded Wii so it looks factory clean before I make the swap? I'm just concerned I'll give them the system as is and it will try to update itself at some point in the future and brick. This would not be good for me on many levels. I have searched for other posts on this and most people are just trying to fix software problems they have and are typically talked through fixing them without doing an actual reset. I really want this thing to look like it's out of the box. I have my NAND and keys file from when I softmodded if a restore is required via BootMii, but that doesn't remove the Homebrew Channel or any of the hacked IOS's or other files that Nintendo can detect as modifications, correct? Thanks in advance for any help or guidance!

That's a very difficult question to answer. The problem is that Europe is one huge place full of different cultures and they all have their own etiquette. So I recommend that you purchase a good travel guide and follow the local customs. Also at the moment I would recommend that you don't talk politics or recession while there. This may not be welcome. I also recommend that you read my hub "why slow food was invented in Europe and fast food in North America". It may give you a pretty good picture about the eating and socializing etiquette there.

Can any metered dispensing unit be used with clean air or purge insecticides?
Not all metered aerosol dispensing systems are made to take cans of all sizes and shapes so it is possible that the the Clean Air Purge would not work in the metered aerosol dispensing machine that you have. we do carry the TimeMist Automatic Dispenser which does accept the Clean Air Purge.

Mumbai, Maharashtra India (PressExposure) May 30, 2011 -- Anil Ambani led Reliance Power in the race for Wesfarmers' Premier coalmine in Western Australia which could be worth of $400 bn Wesfarmers boss Richard Goyder put the asset on the block in March after being approached by a number of interested parties indicative bids for Premier were submitted about a week and a half ago and Wesfarmers and its advisers at Gresham and UBS started the second stage of the process this week. The auction was expected to be dominated by Indian and Asian players seeking coal for energy. Aside from Reliance, India's GVK Infrastructure -- which is negotiating with Gina Rinehart's Hancock Prospecting over two prospective coalmines in the Galilee Basin -- and Lanco were others linked to Premier. It's understood Reliance had been interested in Griffin at a very early stage of that process.
On UBS estimates, India's coal imports are set to jump almost 70 per cent in the next five years.
Reliance is a part of the sprawling conglomerate run by Anil Dhirubhai Ambani, with interests ranging from telecommunications to finance. Reliance Power aims to generate 35,000 megawatts of power by 2017, of which 5000MW is expected in the next two years, and its coal subsidiary agreed to tip in $US5bn into two Indonesian coal projects earlier this year.
Premier has reserves of more than 100 million tonnes of sub-bituminous thermal coal used for power generation.
Earnings before interest and tax from the mine have been estimated at just $30m-$35m -- about 5 per cent of the company's total resources income. While Wesfarmers would love a sale at similar prices to Griffin, analysts have estimated the value of the asset at $400m-plus.
One difference between Griffin and Premier is that most of Griffin's coal will be exported to Lanco's power stations in India, whereas Premier's annual output of 4 million tonnes is sold mainly to state-owned electricity generator Verve Energy.
However, a foreign buyer is expected to look to expand production and divert more coal to the export market.

Bryan Thomas/Getty ImagesBesides breathing and sleeping, there are few things I do with as much regularity as my morning cup of coffee. Before my first cup of Joe in the morning, I am walking through the day like a zombie, and I feel pretty confident in saying I'm not alone in this.
I do my best to make my morning mug at home when I can, but most days I'm scrambling for a train, and then scrambling through sidewalks with only time for a quick moment of reprieve at my morning food cart. It is not the ideal coffee scenario, but it gets the job done for me.
There are better ways to start your morning with a cup of coffee all your own, but since my daily routine is a bit chaotic, we decided to call in an expert. I recently spoke with Paul Toscano, connoisseur of all things coffee and chief marketing officer of Joyride Coffee, a company that specializes in cold brew kegs. I asked him to take me through some items he thinks avid coffee drinkers might be missing in their cupboards.
Below you can find Toscano's recommendations, along with his reasoning as to why any aspiring barista should consider adding a bit more to their collection of coffee tools. Take a look if you're interested in learning to make your morning cup like the pros.

Grief and Grieving [webmd.com]
What is grief?
Grief is your emotional reaction to a significant loss. The words sorrow and heartache are often used to describe feelings of grief. Whether you lose a beloved person, animal, place, or object, or a valued way of life (such as your job, marriage, or good health), some level of grief will naturally follow.
Anticipatory grief is grief that strikes in advance of an impending loss. You may feel anticipatory grief for a loved one who is sick and dying. Similarly, both children and adults often feel the pain of losses brought on by an upcoming move or divorce. This anticipatory grief helps us prepare for such losses.
What is grieving?
Grieving is the process of emotional and life adjustment you go through after a loss. Grieving after a loved one's death is also known as bereavement.
Grieving is a personal experience. Depending on who you are and the nature of your loss, your process of grieving will be different from another person's experience. There is no "normal and expected" period of time for grieving. Some people adjust to a new life within several weeks or months. Others take a year or more, particularly when their daily life has been radically changed or their loss was traumatic and unexpected.
Quote of the Day: Pain and Loss
For your brain, romantic rejection is the same thing as being physically burned [gawker.com]
Annalee Newitz — When your sweetheart dumps you, there's a reason why it hurts so much. It turns out your brain registers the psychological hell in exactly the same way it registers physical pain.
A group of scientists used fMRI scans to study the brains of people dealing with being rejected, and compared them to the brains of people experiencing physical pain. They found that the exact same regions of the brain are involved in processing both experiences. For humans, social rejection is tantamount to literal injury.
Write the authors in a paper published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences:
We tested this hypothesis by recruiting 40 individuals who felt intensely rejected as a result of recently experiencing an unwanted romantic relationship break-up. Participants performed two counterbalanced tasks during functional MRI (fMRI) scanning: a Social Rejection task and a Physical Pain task. Briefly, the Social Rejection task compared Ex-partner trials, in which participants viewed a headshot of their former partner and thought about their specific rejection experience, and Friend trials, in which participants viewed a headshot of a friend who was the same sex as their ex-partner and thought about a recent positive experience they shared with that person. The Physical Pain task also consisted of two types of trials: Hot trials, in which participants experienced noxious thermal stimulation on their left forearm, and Warm trials, in which participants experienced nonnoxious thermal stimulation in the same area. Participants rated how they felt after each task trial using a five-point scale, with lower numbers reflecting more distress.
And indeed, they saw the same regions of the brain lighting up during both physical and mental tasks – specifically, "areas that support the sensory components of physical pain (secondary somatosensory cortex; dorsal posterior insula)." The researchers say that their work could shed light on why different kinds of social rejection can lead to physical pain and other ailments. Ultimately, they say, our brains reveal an intensely strong connection between emotions and physical sensations. An interesting area for future research would be whether witnessing somebody else's distress also affects our brains the same way physical pain does – in other words, do we literally feel the pain of others?

The Puppet by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
If for a moment God would forget that I am a rag doll and give me a scrap of life..
I would value things not for how much they are worth but rather for what they mean.
I would write my hatred on ice and wait for the sun to come out, with a dream of Van Gogh I would paint on the stars a poem by Benedetti, and a song by Serrat would be my serenade to the moon.
With my tears I would water the roses, to feel the pain of their thorns and the incarnated kiss of their petals…
I wouldn't let a single day go by without saying to people I love, that I love them.
To a child I would give wings, but I would let him learn how to fly by himself.
To the old I would teach that death comes not with old age but with forgetting.
I have learned that everybody wants to live at the top of the mountain without realizing that true happiness lies in the way we climb the slope.
I have learned that when a newborn first squeezes his father's finger in his tiny fist, he has caught him forever.
I have learned that a man only has the right to look down on another man when it is to help him to stand up.
The Puppet (excerpt)
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Alone During the Holidays? Make No Major Decisions.
I am republishing my post from last year, with some updated thoughts and remarks.
The holidays can be a very lonely time of year for anyone who, because of their uniqueness, finds himself or herself without family, and sometimes, friends. Sharing the time with others can be a salve for those who are tolerated or accepted. But for those of us who are unique, whether transsexual, gay, lesbian, bisexual, or suffering from some physical malady, and we find ourselves alone, it can be a challenge to just get through the holidays.
Families are defined by blood. Often, that is a mistake. Sometimes there are those relatives (by blood) whose views and outlooks would be offensive and cruel to any outsider — to any kind and compassionate soul. The challenge is to surround ourselves with a family we choose, who love us and accept us for who we are, rather than for what we are not.
If family during the holidays is defined by accepting only those people like themselves, then we have learned nothing about tolerance, acceptance, and compassion. Let us not make the same mistakes as those poor souls who live in fear of what they do not understand, and the resulting cruelty that manifests itself in the name of "family."
What I would emphasize to all gender-variant individuals is that the holidays are NO TIME to be making major decisions about one's life, one's circumstances, one's issues, or one's family. Suicide is never good any time. But the holidays have a way of making us, what I like to call, "temporarily isolated" or "temporarily inconsolable." The emphasis, though, should be on the word TEMPORARY.
During this tough economic time, many are suffering. And even in good economic times, during the holidays, there are so many people who find themselves spending the holiday alone, whether transgendered or not. And then there are those who do spend the holidays with their relatives and come back even more depressed and/or vulnerable than before they left.
Family and holidays can be very difficult even in the best of times. No matter what, whether spending holidays with friends and family, or spending them alone, I would recommend that no one make major life changing, irreversible decisions.
For those who find themselves depressed or alone during the holidays, the secret to success is to just get through them!
Survival is success!
The sun will come out tomorrow. There will be a chance for a new day and new beginnings. And hope does not take a raincheck during holidays. It is still there, even if it seems harder to grasp.
As you have doubtless heard many times before, even if you don't feel like doing something, DO SOMETHING! A walk, a movie, reading a good book, or an activity. Invite another friend over for tea, or meet for a lunch or dinner. Some online support forums can be quite helpful during these times as well.
Lastly, don't be afraid to ask for help. It is not a character flaw or a weakness to ask for help. On the contrary, it is one of the healthiest things a person can learn to do – knowing when to ask for help. This link http://gendersanctuary.com/resourceshelp.htm lists a number of resources that can be helpful during difficult times.
Make the time less about the holiday, and more about self-care.
But most of all, never use a temporary situation to make a permanent, unalterable decision. Never.
Hope and peace are always in season.

Cliche Cafe: Why Do We Say, 'Rule of Thumb?'
You've said it a million times, but why do we use the phrase, "rule of thumb?"
Last week we discovered why we use the phrase, "Skeletons in the closet," and it was pretty gruesome.
This week I thought our cliche lesson could be a little less gross. The reason why we use the phrase, "rule of thumb," makes complete sense. Farmers using their thumbs sounds way easier than bringing a tool with them planting each seed.
Though of course I'm thinking about how different people have different sized thumbs…
According to Buzzfeed, this is why we say it.

Discussion Questions for Robert M. Collins'
Transforming America
1. What is "history"? What kinds of questions do we ask of an "historical text" to ensure that we (and the author/authors of the text) are using our critical thinking skills? How, in other words, do we assess the validity, the truthfulness (aka accuracy), and the "objectivity" of the historical account (if, indeed, these three criteria can even be applied to an historical narrative)? And, of course, if they cannot, then by what standards/criteria do we evaluate an historical narrative?
2. What is "historiography"? How do we "tell" the stories of our past? Which stories get told? Which stories remain untold? Who decides what stories are recorded and on what basis are those decisions made? What role does the historian play in the recording of the past? (And, for that matter, what is "the past"?) What (if anything) shapes the historian's view of "the past"? What role does the reader play in the recording/interpretation of the past?
3. What is Robert Collins' approach to historiography? What role does he take vis-à-vis his subject? His audience? What is his attitude toward his subject? His audience? His field of study? What assumptions does he make about the process of historical recovery? About the bias and subjectivity of the historian who looks back? In what ways does (Does?) he combat bias and subjectivity? And how effectively does he do so?
4. How would you characterize the 1980s? What was that decade like? What were some of the significant events that shaped the decade and how did they do so? What were the prevailing ideological and intellectual currents that gave shape to the decade?
5. Much is made by Collins and by some of the historians and other figures he cites about Reagan's view of America as the "city upon a hill." Explain first Reagan's view of America—what does it mean for America to be the "city upon a hill"? Then, explain how this view potentially impacted the shape of Reagan's presidency and/or his ideological platform.
6. In what ways might the 1980s might be characterized as "a critical era in the history of modern America" (3)? Are there any ways in which this assessment might not be valid or accurate?
7. Historian Sidney Hook once labeled Reagan an "event-making hero" (qtd. in Collins 5). Explain Hook's assessment of Reagan and then respond to it, providing an explanation for why you accept or reject his classification of Reagan.
8. Chapter 2 of Collins' book opens with the provocative statement, "Ronald Reagan was a product of Hollywood in more ways than one" (30). Discuss the accuracy of this assessment of the figure of Ronald Reagan. If you agree with Collins' assessment, then explain why and identify and discuss examples to support your agreement. If you disagree with Collins' assessment, then explain why and identify and discuss examples that undercut or work against his claims.
9. Collins writes, "Reagan's growthmanship serve as both vehicle and camouflage for a larger ideological agenda" (70). Do you agree with this assessment of Reagan's leadership style? Explain why and identify and discuss examples to support your stance.
10. In his discussion of the film
Wall Street
and its central antagonist Gordon Gekko, Collins writes, "Cultural icons are not . . . wholly fabricated or imposed from without, no matter how artful or manipulative their creator. They take root because they resonate powerfully" (94). Discuss the accuracy of this assessment of "cultural icons" by identifying and analyzing someone from any realm of public life (i.e., politics, sports, entertainment, education, military, etc.) who you think "resonates powerfully" as a "cultural icon" within the current historical moment.
11. Chapter 6 of
Transforming America
regards "postmodernism" as one of "several large themes" that together coalesced to "produce a rough but distinctive spirit of the times, a Zeitgeist that colored high culture, popular culture, and the actual behavior of the American people" (147). While "postmodernism" is certainly a complicated (some have said "unstable") concept that resists a singular definition, its prominence throughout the 1980s (and over the course of the past three or more decades) demands at least a modicum of understanding. So, what is "postmodernism"? Articulate a definition of the term including salient features of the movement/condition as well as (where appropriate) specific examples that illustrate those features.
12. In a discussion of MTV specifically and music videos in general, cultural critic Jon Parles contends that "[m]usic video is quintessentially post-modern" (qtd. in Collins 167). In what ways do music videos in general and/or MTV in particular reflect the postmodern moment that Collins argues defined the 1980s? You can discuss postmodernism as an ideology, as an intellectual current, as an aesthetic, and/or as a historic/economic institution.
13. In 1991, James Davison Hunter, a sociologist at the University of Virginia, characterize the culture wars as "a clash over national life itself [. . .] a struggle over national identity--
over the meaning of America
, who we have been in the past, who we are now, and perhaps most important, who we, as a nation, will aspire to become" (qtd. in Collins 173). Based on your understanding of the culture wars, what did they reveal about "the meaning of America"? How would you characterize American-ness, or American national identity, in the 1980s? Explain your responses to these questions.
14. During the 1980s, institutions of higher education (specifically, though not exclusively, in the United States) were plagued by debates over "canonicity"—that is, the teaching of texts written largely by Dead White European Males to the exclusion of texts by and/or about authors of varying racial/ethnic, gender, socioeconomic, cultural, religious, and other backgrounds (as well as the teaching of subjects that are at their core Eurocentric, heterosexist, misogynist, and racist). In defense of the canon, U. S. Secretary of Education William J. Bennett argued, "The point for contemporary higher education is this: the classics of Western philosophy and literature amount to a great debate on the perennial questions. To deprive students of this debate is to condemn them to improvise their ways of living in ignorance of their real options and the best arguments for each" (qtd. in Collins 180). Respond to Bennett's argument regarding the "point for contemporary higher education."
15. A number of cultural critics and historians, including Collins, would argue that the 1980s marked a shift in the culture of higher education—with the "center of gravity" in institutions of higher education moving "discernibly to the left" (politically-speaking). Other, more recent assessments of the politics of higher education would concur that American colleges and universities generally are bastions of liberal thought, if not indoctrination. Based on your (arguably limited) knowledge of and experience with higher education, do you agree that the "center of gravity" in American institutions of higher education is positioned "discernibly to the left"? Whether you agree or not, explain why you take the stance that you do and identify and discuss specific examples that support your stance.
16. Collins frames the culture wars as a "clash of fundamentally different conceptions of moral authority" (189). Do you agree with this assessment of the culture wars? If so, then identify and discuss specific examples that support your position. If not, then explain why and, again, identify and discuss specific examples that support your position.
17. On pages 236 ff., Collins outlines four "achievements" of the Reagan Administration that in hindsight "stand out" to him as "significant" accomplishments of the Reagan Administration. These "significant achievements" include: 1) "engineer[ing] an economic recovery that would . . . continue for nearly two decades" (236); 2) "bringing the Cold War to a successful conclusion on Western terms" (236); 3) initiating the "recovery of our morale" (237); and 4) "slowing the growth of the federal government" (238). Based on your understanding of the Reagan years, what do you think are the most "significant achievements" of Reagan's presidency and why?
18. In his assessment of
Presidential Power
, Harvard's Richard Neustadt suggests that "Reagan restored the public image of the presidency to a 'fair (if perhaps rickety) approximation of its Rooseveltian mold: a place of popularity, influence, and initiative, a source of programmatic and symbolic leadership, both pacesetter and tonesetter, the nation's voice to both the world and us, and—like or hate the policies—a presence many of us loved to see as Chief of State'" (qtd. in Collins 238). Do you agree with Neustadt's assessment of the impact that Reagan had on the institution of the Presidency? If so, then provide examples from Reagan's presidency that support your assessment. If not, then explain why and, again, provide examples from Reagan's presidency that support your assessment.
19. Reagan has sometimes been referred to as a "reconstructive president," which Yale political scientist Stephen Skowronek describes as a leader who "appear[s] on the scene when the previous political regime has been thoroughly discredited by an inability to respond relevantly and successfully to the pressing problems of the day and appears, in a word, exhausted" (242). The "litmus test" for determining whether a leader fits the bill of a reconstructive president is that such figures seek "to remake the government wholesale" and "reset the very terms and conditions of constitutional government." Such figures "reformulate the nation's political agenda altogether, to galvanize support for the release of governmental power on new terms, and to move the nation past the old problems, eyeing a different set of possibilities altogether" (qtd. in Collins 242). Do you agree with Collins' assessment of Reagan as a "reconstructive president" based on the criteria suggested by Skowronek? Provide examples from Reagan's presidency to support your assessment.
20. On page 243, Collins offers the following assessment of Reagan's Presidency: "[Reagan] ushered in the longest period of prosperity in U.S. history, lead the West to victory in the Cold War while reestablishing an international preeminence that many feared had been permanently lost, and changed significantly the way Americans thought about themselves, their government, and their country." Do you agree with Collins' assessment of the Reagan years and their impact on American life? If so, then identify some of the most significant ways in which the Reagan Administration altered "the way Americans thought about themselves, their government, and their country." If you do not agree with Collins' assessment, then explain why.
21. Collins suggests that it was "Reagan who defined the contours and direction of the new political mainstream in the 1980s" (244). What were the salient features of this "new political mainstream" and in what ways was (Was?) Reagan responsible for the implementation of that political order?

Will Ferrell Cast in Dan Rush's Indie 'Everything Must Go'
by Alex Billington
October 16, 2009
Finally, a Will Ferrell movie I'm actually excited about again! Variety says Ferrell has been cast in a $10 million independently financed comedy called Everything Must Go. The project will be the directional debut of commercials director Dan Rush, who also wrote the script based on a Raymond Carver short story. Ferrell will play a guy who loses his job and gets locked out of his house by his wife. She puts all of his belongings on the front lawn, and he spends the next four days trying to sell off his possessions, hence "Everything Must Go." Sounds like it'll be a good, funny story. And I'm glad it's not a studio production.
Rush is known for directing humorous commercials, and while he has been offered movie development deals, he turned them down and instead tried to write a film for himself to direct. Everything Must Go, his first screenplay, was featured on the Black List in 2008, which got him meetings with lea actors. Ferrell was impressed by his meetings with Rush and signed on for a project that will be funded with private equity. "Will is one of the best at making an audience sympathize with a character's ordeal, and the blending and comedy in this script will show a side of him that we haven't really seen before," said producer Marty Bowen.
Look for Everything Must Go sometime next year. I'm hoping it shows up at a film festival as well, as that would really give this project a chance to shine without going the studio route (at least until it gets picked up). After all of his recent crap like Land of the Lost, I'm so glad Ferrell is going back to do an indie film.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) – The severe drought conditions have been a challenge for local firefighters. East Tennessee officially upgraded to severe drought Thursday. Crews have been fighting wildfires primarily on the plateau and further east of Knoxville, which is why they're warning everyone to be especially careful.
Firefighters say if you plan on burning brush or having a bonfire this weekend, you should wait.
Jeremiah McLeod's backyard looks like left behind yard work, but it's for good reason.
"It's a little windy. So, I'd still be hesitant to burn today," he said.
Related story: Residents briefly evacuated from Scott County brush fire
He's been waiting nearly two months to burn two piles of brush, keeping his eye on the sky every day.
"To prevent burning my house down and my neighbor's house down, we'll wait until it's appropriate conditions and then we'll burn then," said McLeod.
Tennessee's Forestry Division says while the rain has helped, the wind on Friday will dry things out.
"We're going to have to have quite a bit of rain to recover from the drought. The unfortunate thing is we've had the drought and now we're going into winter which is our driest time of the year," said Nathan Waters with Tennessee Forestry Division.
Waters says fortunately there haven't been many brush fires.
Related: Roane County crews battle brush fire
"We've had welding and power lines, that's stuff that doesn't usually cause fires. That stuff is acting up now because it's so dry."
Crews are still in Campbell County watching and fighting a 280 acre wildfire.
"It is very important people are safe," added Waters.
As a way to stay safe, call and check for any restrictions in your county. Wven let your local fire department know that you'll be burning brush.
"It's nice to have a little fire in the backyard every now and again," said McLeod.
When conditions are right, firefighters say to have water and hand tools close by in case the fire spreads. It's also suggested to burn later in the day, generally after 5 p.m.

Born in Russia in 1860 and trained as a teacher, Abraham Cahan emigrated to New York City in 1882. He documented the immigrant experience in Yekl: A Tale of the New York Ghetto (1896) and examined the immigrant's struggle for the American dream of success in The Rise of David Levinsky (1917). His work was recognized and praised for its realism by William Dean Howells. In addition to producing a number of short story collections, he worked as a journalist and founded and edited the Yiddish newspaper Forverts (Jewish Daily Forward). His influence in the Jewish American cultural community has been extensive. Cahan was a committed socialist who fought strongly against communism.
