| Remote Viewing and Astral Projection?
I have read alot of information on the internet about remote viewing. I was wondering if remote viewing and astral projection are the same. It seems to me to be generally the same however remote viewing seems to be a projection into a physical time either in the past, present or future and AP seems to deal mostly in a different spiritual plain. Could someone explain the differences (if any)? If anyone would care to share either a remote viewing experience or their AP experience I would love to hear about it! |

Remote viewing is a mental projection. You don't leave your body to accomplish it. I don't believe I've done any remote viewing, although recently I've received many synchronicities telling me to look into it. Haven't done it yet though. Very busy. |

I don't know much about AP, but some 2 years ago I read a lot about RV. You can learn it for free from sites such as The Farsight Institute | Remote Viewing Nonprofit Research and Educational Institute and remote-viewing.com Here's a nice video of a well known remote viewer, Joni Dourif, where she demonstrates her RV skills: One Remote Viewer put to the test while our cameras were rolling!

| Which one is this?
I'll share something I don't know how to call it. I had an experience just yesterday and came here for some answers, when this thread appear.Never heard of remote viewing before, though. All I know that it certainly wasn't a dream. Here's what happened: This whole Sunday I was badly hungovered and tired from the night before , and by the time sunset started, I was getting dizzy so I practically collapsed on my bed. I love to meditate when it's sunset, so I started relaxing in this comfortable horizontal position. It was wery nice, since I couldn't move a muscle, and I had to breath deeply because of dizzyness. Then, a sound of someone chopping wood interrupted my thoughts. Since my house is on a corner of two streets, and my bedroom is on the second floor, also on the corner, I couldn't determin which neighbour was doing that. As i started to ''play'' with the sound, getting really into it (because I wondered who was doing it), I got my answer in a really funny way. Without wanting to do so, I went through my wall, and from above saw that it was my father chopping the wood. It was very brief experience, lasted about two minutes. When I ''came back'', I was suprised to see myself lying on the bed (I still haven't moved a muscle). I felt my body again (like returning from a deep meditation), got up, went to the window, and there was my father, chopping wood in the very place I saw him doing it, wearing the very hat I just saw him wearing. It was so exciting! Can anyone help me determin what happened? Here are the facts: I didn't do it on purpose. It just happened as I wondered about it. My vibration couldn't been high because of all the toxins from the night before going around- so no astral for sure. It most certainly DID happen, because we don't usually chop wood in our backyard, we do it in our garage. I was with my father all day, working around our garage, and he didn't wore that hat until I saw it from above. When I went 'through' the wall, the air outside felt different.Like there was no wind at all, no breeze, and no sounds but of course, chopping wood.It also had a different color, like the whole backyard and air were in somekind of thick substance, but I couldn't actually feel it, cuz I had no body there.The colors were different (it could have been because of sunset).I wouldn't go so far and call it an AP, but it could be a mini remote viewing (since I was out only to view something), or a mini out-of-body experience (the shock initiating it being a -hungover?) Has anyone had similar experiences? Thank you for reading this. I'm not really in search for a definition here, merely wondering how can I do it again, on pupose. It surely felt great, like the most natural thing to do when you're tired and not feeling like getting up. I hope we can figure something out. In the meantime, I'll slow down on my red red wine loving. |

| LillyoftheValley...create a reference point...
Hi Lilly, I'm by no means an expert but if I was to guess...it sounds like remote viewing. I'm sure Erin or someone else who is fimilar with Astral projection could tell you if it was that or not. From what I have gathered regarding meditations is to re-create the experience by meditating and imagining the entire event as detailed and real as you can. This creates a reference point. It's sort of like creating a belief in what you want to do because you've done something similar before. I'm really not sure if it applies in situations of Astral Projection. In remote viewing it's like a confidence boost. Can anyone else lend confirmation ( or maybe I'm totally off base ) or additional information here? |

| Thank you Khristine! I get your point. It's like a preparation meditation. Have you been practicing it? I'll surely try it, but I have to admit, the more I investigate on remote viewing, the more I'm puzzled with it, and less confident about doing it again. It is because I didn't intend on doing it, I induced it by listening the sound alone. When I came out of it, my first thought was that I dreamt it, but remembering the feeling it had, it wasn't a dream, and eventhough it happened to me the first time, it had a familiar, cozy feeling. I have no other words for it but 'getting an answer'. (If I knew the answer was coming in this way, boy would I have a different question! ) Either way, thank you for the advice. I plan on figuring it out 'while it's still fresh'. My guess is that it was a glimpse of unintentionall remote viewing. Anyone with similar experience? |

| Your Welcome Lilly
And yes I do practice it. I haven't become real good at it yet. But it's a really good feeling when you get even part of what your trying to view correct. Some simple techniques are: Taking a deck of cards and trying to "see" what they are before you flip them over. Taking a deck of cards and trying to "see" if it is a High or Low card. Putting either individual numbers, colors, letters, or shapes into unmarked tan envelopes (the ones you can't see through) and try to "see" what is inside. My higher-self advised me to start out with only 2 envelopes and as I get better add one more, get better at that, add one more, etc. Watch Deal or No Deal and try to "see" how much money is in each case You will find in your investigations that this was scientifically done by the U.S. government and has been done by individuals. Knowledge is a very good thing, but somehow it always brings me back to "simple is best". Like I said...I'm not really good at it yet but it is fun and exciting |

Dondelinger Chevrolet Cadillac auto dealership is making its big move and opening Monday in its new facility on Highway 371. Brainerd Lakes Surgery Center on Isle Drive in Baxter is celebrating eight years in the lakes area this month.
EAST GULL LAKE - Dorothy Wick stood fearlessly 20 feet above the water. The slender diver with the white cap on her head brought her feet to the edge of the platform and gracefully took to the air. A black and white snapshot captured the moment.
BAXTER - Where will future development go in Baxter? That was the question Tuesday night as the Baxter City Council met in a joint session with its utilities commission to consider a weighty topic - the city sewer system.
BAXTER - Baxter Mayor Darrel Olson expressed appreciation for the service of Bill Deblon, who retired last week from his role as community development director. Deblon joined Baxter in 2006 after spending two decades with the city of Robbinsdale.
Brainerd's skateboard park equipment will have a new snowy home as it leaves the city. Tony Sailer, Brainerd Parks and Recreation director, reported the park board accepted a $1 bid from Mount Ski Gull for the city's skateboard park equipment.
Brainerd's Fourth of July parade and festivities are expected to be back in Brainerd. The Brainerd City Council heard from Nancy Cross, Community Action executive director, Monday.
Brainerd council members voted 5-1 Monday to approve what has for some become a polarizing sidewalk issue.
Buster Park, a Playground for Dogs, is the name of the Brainerd's new dog park. Approval for the dog park - with plans to use about 40,000 square feet in Kiwanis Park - was given in December.
Brainerd's jobless rate rose to 12.7 percent in December, a mirror image to the unemployment rate one year ago. The city's area jobless rate was 11.6 percent in November. Bemidji's jobless rate for December was 11.7 percent.
Two suspects, sought in an alleged drive-by shooting in Mille Lacs County, fled in a truck across Mille Lacs Lake Thursday night.

MPs to vote on banking inquiry
3:29am Thursday 5th July 2012 in National News © Press Association 2013
MPs are to vote to decide whether Parliament or a judge should stage an investigation into the banking scandal as George Osborne accused Labour of being "clearly involved" in it.
The Chancellor claims members of former prime minister Gordon Brown's administration have questions to answer about "who knew what and when" on lending rate rigging.
Ex-Barclays chief executive Bob Diamond has admitted feeling "physically ill" when he discovered traders had fiddled the key Libor rate but denied he was "personally culpable" for their actions. He blamed a "series of unfortunate events" for his departure from the bank as he fended off calls to give up his multimillion-pound bonuses.
Mr Diamond told MPs that Bank of England deputy governor Paul Tucker had relayed concerns in Whitehall about Barclays' high Libor rates to him in a phone call in October 2008.
He believed Mr Tucker was trying to warn him that "there are ministers in Whitehall who are hearing that Barclays is always high, that could lead to the impression that you are not funding yourself". But he told the Treasury select committee: "My recollection is Paul did not mention who he was referring to or I would have put it in the note."
Pressed by Tory committee member Michael Fallon on whether Mr Tucker could have meant the then Cabinet Office minister Baroness Shriti Vadera, Mr Diamond said he would only be "speculating". Both Shadow chancellor Ed Balls and Lady Vadera have denied speaking to Mr Tucker about Libor.
But Mr Osborne told The Spectator: "As for the role of the Labour government and the people around Gordon Brown - well I think there are questions to be asked of them." He added: "They were clearly involved and we just haven't heard the full facts, I don't think, of who knew what when."
Labour and Westminster's minority parties will make a final push for an independent "forensic" judicial public inquiry, claiming it is the only way to restore public faith in the disgraced industry. But the coalition insists a parliamentary investigation is the best way to get speedy recommendations to be included in a banking reform Bill early next year.
Labour leader Ed Miliband insists the two-part judicial inquiry he is pushing for would report back on Libor rate-fixing by the end of the year before going on to look at wider issues. The whole thing would be wrapped up by summer 2013 and the cost would be met by the banking industry, Labour's motion states.
It has been backed by the DUP, SNP, SDLP, Plaid Cymru, Green Party and Independent MP Sylvia Hermon. But the motion is expected to be defeated by the coalition and Mr Miliband is keeping his cards close to his chest over whether he would then oppose the Government's move for a parliamentary inquiry.

NASA follows Mars successes with plans for $2B super rover
Pair of rovers on Martian soil among agency's most successful technology
Computerworld - Following up on what's been called some of NASA's most successful technology, the space agency is pushing ahead with plans to launch an SUV-size rover to Mars next year.
The Mars Science Laboratory is on track to launch next fall, despite mounting costs and the work it will take to ready the machine. With an estimated budget of $2 billion, the super-rover will carry three different kinds of cameras, chemistry instruments, environmental sensors and radiation monitors. According to NASA, all of these instruments are designed to help scientists figure out whether life ever existed on Mars and prepare to send humans to the Red Planet.
In a press conference late last week, Doug McCuistion, director of the Mars Exploration Program at NASA headquarters, said that to stay on schedule, the agency will need more financing, though he did not specify how much will be needed. Scientists are forging ahead with the hope that funding will come for the project.
NASA has been heavily focused on exploring Mars with two rovers, the Phoenix Mars Lander and an orbiter already studying the planet.
And with the success that NASA has had with the two rovers working on Mars, there's a lot of excitement brewing to send up a new one.
The two rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, which wave been motoring around Mars for nearly five years, are some of the best pieces of technology that the Jet Propulsion Lab has ever built, said Bruce Banerdt, project scientist for the Mars Exploration Rovers.
"It is amazing. Every day I just have to tip my hat to the engineers who designed them," Banerdt said. "They were supposed to design them to last for a 90-day mission. ... Of course, I can guarantee that nobody expected them to last this long. We've had to actually rewrite all the software on the rovers because the calendar system keeps track of how many days it's been on Mars and they only [were set for] 1,000 days. We had to rewrite the software so everything wouldn't shut down. It was like Y2k. Now the joke is we only have four digits so when we get to 10,000 days we'll have another problem on our hands."
The rovers, which are working on the equator but on different sides of the planet, have been on Mars just three months shy of five years. The machines have been sending and receiving information from Earth every day, with a team of about two-dozen programmers and engineers uploading code to guide the rovers' movements and aim their cameras. All of that information travels about 200 million miles one way, taking anywhere from five to 21 minutes to travel from one planet to the other.

- Play late at night
- Alone
- Lights off
- Sound up.
- Spare underwear to hand
Ok - I'm filing The House under games, I might even go so far as to file it under point'n'click, but really it's very easy to progress with the thing, and as a game it's super easy. I'm still a big fan though, and the reason is atmosphere. This thing has it by the bucket-load. My top tips are:
Entry 1342, Thursday, August 11th 2005, Filed In Games
The 339 comments on 'The House' span more than one page, use the links below to see them all by page:
:beat me to it
:third is ok
:New to the whole "commenting" thing. Normally I just use your links, and steal your hints and spoilers sans comment.
:That's funny, I thought Samara died in a well...
:idk wut 2 do... all i can figure out is u have 2 clik on the picture in the corner... n then I'm lost... help anyone?
:haha Natasha i do the same thing... i've just startd commenting a couple weeks ago
Stephi Leigh
:very very scary.... that advice about the spare underwear is good advice indeed.
:.....?....how do u get past the 1st room?...the dining room?....i got as far as blowing up the volleyball...plz help
:nvm...i got to the next room
:jees , jumped about 20 times , grabbed head phones off head bout 30 times , freaked my self out totally , gonna play again .
:Sort of predictable. And, is there a single horror movie where the bathroom is safe???
Granted, probably scarier when the sound on my computer is working.
:not scary in the least
to easy to finish
:its just the anticipation of waiting for something to pop out, or run across the screen, lol. not much to it though, but fun in a scary way
:i need help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
these games to easy
:Hi guys ... i havent even played yet ...im scared just by reading ur comments!!! But im goin to wait till my bother comes then ill play !!! :)
:Ok.... my only advice for this is find thi things you can click on and jusr keep clicking them simutaneously until something happens. Thats what worked for me
:wow i already played it... as a game it sucked but for scaring me it was great!!! it was very easy you just had to keep clicking the same things over and over ....
:hey ppl....wat happens at the end????...i am in the corrider and the only thing i can find to click on is the light switch and the piece of paper on the floor...is that the end???....plz help
:well now, I Seldom submit a comment, however I visit once or twice a day. Silly me, I knew better than to listen to the webmaster, but, I did as I was told, (way to dedicated don't you think?) and wow, I had to stop, I was too scared... Will try tomorrow, with the lights ON and the volume DOWN.
:Graeme, i love you. You are clever and help me with the point and click monkey on my back.
If I met you, I'd make sure I had some home baked brownies for you, with peanut butter chips in them.
Nothing on the game, really, just had to proclaim my love.
:it would be better if we could actually interact with the game. it gets brownie points for being scary, but it bombed on the point and click factor.
Martha corgan
two things:
1.i'm number 25! (yay!)
2.this game is sooooooo frighting!!!!
The Infanta
:i think it was ok, kind of scary but the entire game was clicking on the same things over and over until you hear the heartbeat then something pops out.
story was kind of weak and shallow though
:The last room is the corridor and you click on the light switch and the note on the floor and that 's it. Nothing happens. What a pitiful ending! This game or whatever you want to call it sucks big time.
:That isn't the end of the game. keep clicking back and forth from the paper to the light switch and you'll see the real ending.
*my 2 cents* scared the snot out of me more than once so I give it a thumbs up.
:29 yeah !! ¬¬
scary!!but easy......tkm mezz =)
:this is so scary, i almost cried
:Not as scary as, say, John Prescott.
Not a game, even, really. Just keep clicking on anything clickable, until something happens, until it's all over.
Verdict ; Dull and pointless.
:How Bizarre!
:I would imagine this could be very scary late at night!
Very easy, though, and not really a game.
More escape the room stuff, I say!
Mr Lollypop Head
:What a load of toss that is! Maybe better with sound - I don't have sound on the office rig -
:OMG THIS IS F***IN SCARY!!! By the way wat the hell is the point anyway you just click random objects and creepy things happen.... What kind of weirdo would actually make this game..... (Too scared to turn the sound on!)
:it was creepy and scary,but a pointless game.
neways just play and leave dsnt think abt it.
bye ppl
:Anyone who can't do this game, click on things until clicking on them stops working, then something's about to happen. Just keep clicking :)
I had to turn my sound down... *blushes* 'twas scary... :P
:All the game is designed for is to startle you, besides that it really is an aimless clicking game. So as others have said, just keep on clicking.
:omg, the end scared me to death, think ive jus peed myself..........lol
:Enjoyable way to spend a few minutes.
:v. creepy, i confess, the first time i played it i had to exit it it freaked me out so much. but i played it again to the finish, and it is v. scary.
:First time i post a comment!!
Very scary in the beginning but kinda looses it's touch towards the end. I'll definatly have my sister play this one. She freaked out doing Exmortis during the day. Can't wait to hear her scream with this one.Woahaha!
Buster H
:Pretty creepy, gave me goose bumps
:i view this as more silly than scary, ecsecially when the
little boy's head falls in front of you. :-D
Daremaster Spoodle
:Christ almighty, that was scary. Not exactly a game, but I had to run under the covers at one point. The part where the - SPOILER - girl hangs down from the rafter made me scream like a little girl...
Yeah, it's obvious where the game got its inspiration from *takes out Ring DVD from laptop*...
:but what DID happen? Dad apparently shot himself, somebody killed everyone else i guess that was Dad, but Mom had cancer -- ?
loved reading the comments, all the people who can't figure out that this ISN'T a point-and-click game, it's (as Graeme told us) just about atmosphere.
and i give it points for making you wait patiently untill something new happens. mandatory suspense, nice.
:how can we change room?
:oohh the last bit scared me! even though I was expecting it, I think it was because I thought I would need to hit the light switch one more time and then waah! not bad
:That game is totally sick :|
:haha omfg .. even though its easy i dont think ill ever get through this game .. i popped the volleyball .. wen that head fell down i screamed and Xed out .. haha im hopeless ..

Every so often VW releases a special anniversary edition of the Golf GTi with various performance and visual improvements... and when they do, leading tuner AmD takes the car and gives it just a little bit extra.
This is the case with the latest Edition 35 version of the VW Golf GTi Mk6.
VW gave the car more power - around 25bhp, and a few cosmetic tweaks - AmD have added the new Milltek performance exhaust system and remapped the ECU to take this upgrade into account and now the Edition 35 is capable of producing 320bhp - making it a real weapon!
As is the custom, AmD are also offering these upgrades as a special package deal. Buy the exhaust system and remap at the same time and the remap is yours at HALF PRICE.
AmD performance exhaust and remap packages are available for most VAG models at their Lakeside tuning centre conveniently located close to the M25 London Orbital Motorway and next to the Dartford Crossing and Lakeside Shopping Centre.
Contact AmD Essex for further details on 01708 861827

We recently spent a week in Cancun Mexico. I bought a relatively cheap "underwater" camera, not really expecting anything fantastic but to my surprise it took some really good shots like the one here of my son smiling for me underwater.

Why Do I Need to Record My Hours?
Registering your service hours with the CIC:
- Provides the university with a more accurate picture of the volunteering happening on our campus,
- Enables the CIC to recognize all of our campus members who are engaged in service,
- Assists faculty in tracking their students' hours for their course, and
- Helps students list all of their service activities on their co-curricular transcript.
How to Record Your Hours
First, you need to Register with the Community Involvement Center.
- If you are volunteering at a community organization with the CIC's Touchscreen Check-in Kiosk, all you need to do is log in to the kiosk using your W# when you get to the organization. The hours you serve will automatically be recorded in the CIC's Hours Tracking System. Don't forget to log out when you leave the organization for the day.
- If you are volunteering at a community organization that does not have the CIC's Touchscreen Check-in Kiosk, print an Individual Service Hours Form to record your hours. You may also pick up a copy of this form in the CIC.
Fill out the form and be sure to provide all the requested information, or it will be returned to you. You must have the Agency Volunteer Coordinator sign it verifying your hours.
Submit the original time log to the Community Involvement Center, Room 327 in the Shepherd Union Building. The form can also be mailed to 2113 University Circle, Weber State University, Ogden, UT 84408-2113.

On the same topic: "Monkeys Would Fare as Well as BCS in Picking Best Football Teams, Math Student Finds," by Welch Suggs. The Chronicle of Higher Education, 29 November 2003.
Mathematician Peter Mucha and his colleagues at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta have "come up with a new way to select America's top two college football teams for the end-of-season showdown. They hope their simple method will appeal to fans and coaches baffled by the current system"---the Bowl Championship Series, which critics have complained has too much abstruse and bewildering mathematics. An article on the new system, "How Well Can Monkeys Rank Football Teams?" is posted on the Georgia Tech website, and the researchers' paper is posted on the arXiv preprint server.

What it Means When You Sell Your Home
"The new health care legislation imposes a 3.8% tax on all home sales."
"If you sell your home for $400,000, you'll pay a $15,200 'sales tax.'"
"Middle-income people will pay the full tax even if they're only 'rich' the day they sell their home."
What the Law Really Says
One of the provisions of the Patient Protection Affordable Care Act (PPACA) health care legislation makes so-called "high-income" households subject to a new 3.8% Medicare tax on investment income beginning in 2013. All the misreporting arose because this provision is contained in a complicated section of a complicated piece of legislation. But here are the facts:
Most Home Sellers Not Affected
Experts tell us most people selling their homes won't be impacted by this new regulation. Your home sale would have to make you a so-called "high earner" and here's what that would take. For example, a couple will be subject to the 3.8% tax only if they made MORE THAN $500,000 profit on the sale of their home. And if they did, the 3.8% tax would apply only to the part of that profit that was ABOVE $500,000. So, if their profit were $600,000, they would have to pay $3,800 of that as tax–3.8% of the $100,000 profit above the $500,000 threshold. Their net profit would still be: $596,200.
3.8% Medicare tax is not a tax on all real estate sales. Instead, it is a tax on investment income that may result in an extremely small percentage of home sellers paying additional taxes on their home sale profits above the designated threshold amount that applies to them ($250,000 for individuals, $500,000 for couples).
It has been estimated that the bill's definition of "high earners" includes less than 5% of all taxpayers. In addition, as of March 2011, the median existing home sale price was $159,600. So, mathematically, only a small percentage of home sales will likely be affected when the Medicare tax is implemented in 2013.

Your living room should be welcoming to family gatherings and visiting guests. The window treatments you choose should help create this inviting atmosphere while at the same time protecting your furnishing from harmful UV rays and tempering the heat gain from direct sunlight. Here are some ideas for living room window treatments to help you get started.
Living room window treatments such as sheer shades and semi-opaque cellular shades will softly filter light while blocking UV rays. Wood blinds and shutters can bring the warmth of real wood into your home while providing great light control and privacy. For rooms with a sliding door, there are great alternatives to the traditional vertical blind - instead, try a modern panel track blind or a vertical sheer blind. Many of these products come in fabrics that coordinate to other window treatments, such as roman shades, to give you a matching look for all your windows.
Specialty lift options can offer flexible choices for operation and light control. For windows that are very high or difficult to reach, motorized lift or tilt options available on many blinds and shades to let you control the shade remotely. Top down/bottom up is another great living room window treatment that lets in light from the top while maintaining privacy by keeping the bottom of the shade closed.

Irish Education Ministry to clamp down on cyber-bullying -- four students suspended over teacher Facebook remarks

The Irish Department of Education announced it is to step up its clamp-down on cyber-bullying after four Dublin high-school students are expected to be expelled from school after posting defamatory comments about their teachers on Facebook.
40 other students were similarly disciplined at Oatlands College, Dublin, this time for merely 'liking' the offensive status updated, while other sources say that the teachers were also subject to "vile" allegations on other social networking media such as Twitter.
The comments were posted after the school put on a production of the musical Hairspray at the St Patrick's weekend.
The comments were described by the Irish Times as being of a "sexual nature", were leveled against both a male and female teacher, and were posted onto a special Facebook page shortly after the production.
The three young teachers subject to the abuse were said to have been "upset" and "distraught" by the incident.

Oatlands College is one of the top public, non-fee paying schools in the capital.
This is one of the first cases in which Irish high schools have met cyber-bullying with a punishment as severe as expulsion.
The news comes closely on the heels of Education Minister Ruairí Quinn's announcement of a major counter cyber bullying forum to take place this May.
The Anti Bullying Forum, to take place May 17th, will consider changes to existing national anti-bullying policies that could help curb the growing problem in Irish schools.
A Working Group will also be established with a remit to help address bullying against all ethnic minorities in Ireland.
"Bullying in school can ruin a young person's enjoyment of some of the most important years of their life. In extreme situations, it can also, tragically, lead to a young person taking their own life," the Education Minister said.
The Forum has been welcomed by anti-bullying campaigners in Ireland; Michael Barron, executive director of BelongTo, said that the Forum was a "unique opportunity to ensure previous initiatives and other national and international innovative approaches are actually implemented in all schools."

Cars made from recycled cans, lightweight engine technology and practices borrowed from the motor racing and aerospace industries could help cement future success for the region's automotive sector.
That was the message from West Midland vehicle technology innovators ahead of a Birmingham event looking at research developments in the automotive industry.
The Science Capital event brought together car firms, engineers, academics and investors in a bid to strengthen links between the key drivers in the West Midland sector.
Speakers included representatives of firms like Jaguar Land Rover and turbocharger specialists Aeristech, who gave an insight into the world-leading research happening in the region.
At Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), the firm is working on making vehicles lighter and more efficient and is pioneering research into materials – aluminium in particular.
JLR materials engineering manager Andrew Haggie said: "The car industry has been driven by targets driven by European legislation.
"One of the solutions is to throw in electric vehicles and hybrids, but one of the easiest and most tangible solutions is to make the vehicles lighter. That's what we are doing with aluminium technology and specifically on the Jaguar XJ."
He said aluminium offered many advantages over vehicles with a traditional steel structure.
"Steel cars are normally spot welded so you have these images of car assembly plants with sparks flying everywhere, whereas aluminium technology is more like aerospace – it's how they make aeroplanes where the aluminium sheet is glued and riveted together," he said.
"That gives a strong and stiff structure compared with a steel vehicle, which helps with the good handling and performance that you need from a sporting saloon."
Mr Haggie said the firm was also working with the Technology Strategy Board on a project looking at recycled aluminium, where items like discarded drinks cans could be melted down for reuse in the automotive sector.

hi rakshitk,
nice one, i've done it and it works. tnx.
question: can you teach me how to view private photos in friendster?
hope you could help me. -
In order to save, make sure you are doing this as an administrator.
it,s not working on my Google chrome
it worked nicely for some website but not working for http://www.agame.com. any ideas??
hello sir, can you help me to block the site of other computer in a network without knowing the user of it.thnxxxxxxxxxxx
hi sir i hve problem when continuing above process bc when i open host in notepad it shows nothing like u mentioned above its blank. plz guide me how i block website waiting for ur reply tnks
I tried your directions for BLOCKING a site on a single computer(Sorry, I did mean "Blocking" on my previous comment) but could not find any "127.0.0.1 localhost" in my Windows/system 32/drivers/etc folder. (My OS is Windows XP Pro) Instead I have the following list in the "etc" folder:
smsflt.cfgAny suggests on how to use your block directions with this list? (Disregard my previous comment about "unblocking" a site).
Chrys -
Thank you, Rakshit for the suggestion.
There are a number of files on the intended (targeted) computer with "host" in the name. I did a search on the targeted computer for "127.0.0.1 localhost" but it turned up no such file. However, I tried another computer with XP Pro and it DID have a "host" folder and "127.0.0.1 localhost" file in that folder.
Now, the intended(targeted)computer for the one-site block has only Service Pack 2 installed. But the other computer (with the "127.0.0.1 localhost" file), has Service Pack 3 installed.
Could that be the difference in the absence of that "localhost" file? The difference in Service Packs installed?
Chrys -
First of all "hosts" is the name of the file not the folder. Please refer to the screenshot above.
Ok, let's start from the first step. When you typed
notepad %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts in the run command, were you not able to see the file named "hosts" getting opened in notepad?If not, then copy the hosts file from other computer to your targeted computer at the location %windir%\system32\drivers\etc
sir i had lost my host file . i deleted my host file . can i regain them.sir plz tell meeeeeeee plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
My family also have a same situation. Lol..

Lung: The first lung wedge biopsy performed six years after the breast tumor showed a single nodule in the left upper lobe measuring about 1.3 cm in diameter. Microscopically, the metastasis showed a mixture of epithelial and myoepithelial cells, with the myoepithelial cells having similar histological pattern and cellular appearance to the breast lesion. The epithelial cells, however, represented remnants of trapped bronchial epithelium, giving the impression of a bronchoalveolar carcinoma. The immunostain of the myoepithelial cells were also positive for SMA and S100, similar to that of the breast lesion, supporting the diagnosis of metastatic malignant adenomyoepithelioma.
Kidney: The right nephrectomy revealed a mass occupying 75% of the renal parenchyma, weighing 506 grams and measuring 14 x 7 x 5 cm. There was no gross involvement of vascular and ureteral margins. Histologically, the tumor in the kidney showed areas of sarcomatoid changes with resemblance to the myoepithelial lesions seen in the breast and lung. Focal glandular structures as well as prominent myoepithelial cells were present. Focally, the spindle myoepithelial component was difficult to differentiate from renal cell carcinoma, sarcomatoid variant. The immunohistochemical stains revealed that the tumor cells were still positive for SMA and somewhat reduced in reactivity for S100 staining, suggesting it was most likely a metastasis from the malignant adenomyoepithelioma of the breast.
Diagnosis - Malignant Adenomyoepithelioma of Breast, Metastatic to the Lung and Kidney
Discussion: Hamperl in 1970 described the first adenomyoepithelial lesion in the mammary gland, and coined the term "adeno-myoepithelioma" to describe tumors in which two cell populations, epithelial and myoepithelial were clearly identified. He described and illustrated a single case of adenomyoepithelioma. In the early 1990s, adenomyoepithelioma was subclassified into spindle cell, tubular, and lobulated variants based on their growth pattern and cell type by the AFIP.
The spindle-cell type was defined as a tumor composed predominantly of spindle myoepithelial cells admixed with few epithelial-lined spaces. The tubular type showed a characteristic proliferation of rounded tubules lined by both epithelial and myoepithelial cells. The third variant, the lobulated adenomyoepithelioma, consisted of solid nests of clear, eosinophilic or hyaline myoepithelial cells compressing epithelial-lined spaces. The distinction between benign and malignant lesions is difficult and may reside in the presence of distant metastases. Suggested histological features helpful to differentiate malignant from benign adenomyoepithelioma include the presence of mitoses, pleomorphism, necrosis, high cellularity, infiltration of surrounding tissues, presence of satellite foci, and predominance of myoepithelial cells.
The differential diagnosis of MAM should include other stromal proliferations and malignant tumors such as Fibromatosis and Spindle cell Carcinoma
Spindle cell carcinomas , or carcinomas with a pseudosarcomatous appearance, are well known to occur in other sites such as the skin, upper respiratory tract, and esophagus. Bauer et al. reviewed the literature and identified 42 cases, 3 of which were incompletely documented.
Microscopically, the hallmark of these neoplasms is the presence of a biphasic tumor with prominent pseudosarcomatous stroma made of spindle cells, blending with nests of malignant epithelium such as squamous cell carcinoma or adenocarcinoma. The sarcoma-like areas are composed of spindle cells that diffusely infiltrate and destroye the adjacent normal breast parenchyma. The cells have round- to oval-shaped nuclei, and variable amounts of interstitial collagen separating the spindle cells in a pattern similar to that seen in fibrosarcomas. The margins of the tumor are poorly circumscribed and infiltrative, with tumor cells percolating into the adipose tissue and trapping normal mammary ducts in a manner commonly seen in cystosarcoma phyllodes.
Fibromatosis is predominantly a paucicellular growth with infiltrative borders. The cells are spindled with regular nuclei and lacking significant atypia. These cells can occasionally be positive for SMA since they are of myofibroblastic derivation.
The diagnosis of malignant adenomyoepithelioma in the present case is based on the fact that the original breast lesion had two different components, namely, epithelial and myoepithelial cells, that showed malignant features including atypia, high cellularity. The evidence to support the notion of a single primary tumor which metastasize to lung and kidney rather than second or third primary tumor is based on the similar histology and immunohistochemical staining patterns among the tumors in all three sites. The histological appearance of the lung metastasis mimicked a primary bronchoalveolar carcinoma of the lung And the renal tumor closely resemble renal cell carcinoma with sarcomatoid differentiation. However, their immunoreactivity to S100 and smooth muscle actin antibodies strongly support the diagnosis of metastasis of malignant adenomyoepithelioma . The patient is receiving adjuvant chemotherapy but metastasis persist.

Follow the (Airport) Money
By Bill Allison Oct 7, 2009 6:30 p.m.Over the past five years, the Federal Aviation Administration has handed out nearly $18 billion in grants for almost 19,000 airport projects. In theory, these projects -- funded through the FAA's Airport Improvement Program -- are supposed to enhance safety or protect the environment. In fact, according to a Subsidyscope analysis of FAA data (neatly assembled into a searchable database by Sunlight's Kaitlin Lee), a fair amount of money has gone toward the building of parking lots and other questionable things.

Even if you don't have the latest and greatest Android device, there are plenty of apps in Google Play to make your device more useful and fun. These days, in-app purchases are more prevalent than ever, and you want to know what you're getting into before you get your hopes up. This is one of the many concerns that the weekly Google Play App Roundup is here to address. Just click on the app name to head to the Play Store on your device or computer.
This week we look at a new location-aware exploration app, a game that exercises your vocabulary, and a game that puts the fate of thw world in your hands.
Field Trip
This app dropped a few weeks ago, but other releases got in the way until now. I also wanted to give it a thorough test before I formed an opinion because of its nature. It might not look like it, but Field Trip is a Google app that comes from an incubator within the company. The basic premise is that you leave Field Trip running in the background and it just tosses fun facts your way as you wander about town. I find that I quite like it.
When you first start using Field Trip, the app will have you select your preferred notification level, from off to frequent. You can also select the kinds of locations you want to be notified about. Maybe you're into architecture, deals, and restaurants, but you don't care about historic events. No problem -- Field Trip can handle that.
When you're strolling around and a notification is triggered, it will take over the screen when you unlock the device. The card will have rich visuals and some text explaining what you've stumbled across. If it's a restaurant you might get Zagat scores. If a movie was filmed in an area, you get details of the scene and links to learn more. Field Trip makes walking around your home turf an entirely new experience.
There are a ton of settings too. You can have the app just start reading out the notifications as they come in. This might not be great for everyday life, but if you're in a new area you might enjoy it. It's also smart enough to hold off on notifying you of locations when Google Navigation is active. If you choose to leave the notifications cranked up, you will also see battery life suffer. Its not the geolocation that gets you; it's the constant push messages. I haven't had any issues with the setting for occasional notifications.
The app's main interface is more skeuomorphic than most of Google's apps. It is split into columns, with the far right being a map view. The center column lists all nearby points of interest. On the right is the history of notifications in case you dismissed something you want to check out.
I think Field Trip is really cool, and it's free. You can safely leave it on the limited notification mode without worrying.
This is yet another game that did quite well on iOS, and has now finally come to Android. W.E.L.D.E.R. is like a crazy combination of Bejeweled and Scrabble that will be hard to put down. You have to slide letters around the board to make words and clear the tiles. You get points based on how complicated the word is, and on what kind of tiles you used. It's a game that's both fun and a little educational.
It is going to take some time to get used to the gameplay in W.E.L.D.E.R.. There is no time limit like in straight-up matching games like Bejeweled, but you do have a limited number of moves. When you run out of "swaps" it's game over. You use one swap each time you tap on two adjacent tiles to swap them. If the move creates a word, it gets cleared from the board.
You start with 25 swaps, and each 250 points you score nets you 5 more swaps. It is possible that as you clear tiles, and more drop in from above, that words will be formed without your intervention. In each level, you have to generate a certain number of words to move on, but you get a fresh board when you do.
As you advance through the levels, you will unlock more aspects of the game. Your limited supply of special swaps can come in handy when you need to move tiles from a different part of the board, move entire groups, and more. The Gigawatt counter is like a form of in-game currency that can help you out by resetting the board, or adding swaps when you run out.
I like that the game keeps track of the words created over time. If a tile drop forms a word that you've never heard of, you can tap on it to pull down a definition. Not only can you exercise your existing vocabulary, you can learn new words at the same time.
W.E.L.D.E.R. does have a system for in-app purchases in addition to the up-front price. You essentially buy Gigawatt points to pump up your game. You can still get a fair number of points from just playing, and you start with quite a lot of them. I'm tentatively giving W.E.L.D.E.R. a pass on this count.
This is a game that's deceptively addictive. I'm particularly taken with it because of the fun steampunk style and that you can play it for just a few minutes at a time. W.E.L.D.E.R. can be yours for the price of $2.99.
Global Outbreak
In Global Outbreak, a zombie virus has infected the populous. It's up to you to control teams of elite soldiers to keep the infection at bay by building defenses and deploying ground troops. This game is part real time strategy, and part tower defense It's going to take some time to get familiar with the rules, but Global Outbreak can be really engaging.
This game spans the entire world with major cities marked by informational beacons. The infections will randomly spread to new cities with the formation of a "pod" of infection. These are literally giant pulsating pods on the street. When they spawn, the infection will spread to nearby nodes and strengthen the zombie forces. You have to intervene by either weakening the outbreak at the periphery, or by diving right into the middle and killing the pods.
When you opt to land a ground squad, you will get a top-down view of your soldiers, usually 4 to a team. Tap anyplace on the screen and they will move there. Firing is handled by swiping across the screen. Any valid target you touch will be targeted and you get bonuses for linking together multiple enemies. When you've put down the pods and zombies, it's time to run back to the chopper.
You have to develop your defense over time by adding outposts and towers to control the spread of the infection. Various special missions pop up occasionally, and these can bring big bonuses. The better you play the game, the more experience your troops get, and the more cash you have on hand for upgrades. Building structures, researching upgrades, and other activities take some time, but you can do other missions or even close the game while you wait. You'll get a notification when activities are complete if you allow them.
Along with the cash, you also have gold to worry about. If you haven't guessed, this is a game that utilizes in-app purchases. You will have to spend a few bucks to have a good experience, but Global Outbreak costs nothing up front. On that basis, I'm okay with spending a few dollars.
The graphics in this title are at the high end. The environments are detailed and animations are very smooth. There is a little aliasing visible, but it's not bad. You can zoom in on the action with a multitouch gesture, and things still look good up close. The solid lighting effects help make the ground combat feel more real too.
This is a good game despite the in-app purchases. The controls are effective, the graphics are good, and I like the geolocation leaderboards. The gameplay is a little complicated, but you'll get the hang of it. Check out Global Outbreak in the Play Store and see if you dig it.
That's all for this week. I hope there was something here that could find a place on your Android device. Check back next time for more cool apps.

GPON is a point-to-multi-point fiber to the home solution using passive splitters that are used to enable a single fiber to serve multiple premises. GPON provides high capacity bandwidth thus it is one of the best platforms for the delivery of a myriad of services like High Speed Internet [HSI], IPTV, VoD, and Gaming etc.
This product targets the following markets: ISP's, ASP's, Broadcasters, Cinema Houses, Advertisers, Residents associations, security firms etc. In addition, the product provides a high capacity digital distribution supply from a central reception point to multiple end users premises over a Fiber to the access network. It utilizes a shared fiber infrastructure, based on a multi-way split Passive Optical Network (PON) terminating in the End User premises thus it is able to provide a platform where voice on demand [VoD] and live streaming services can be deployed.
KDN will therefore build both the DSL and GPON networks to enable resellers to provide consumer services over the infrustructure
