An endangered Endangered Species Act?
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service tries an end-run around the Endangered Species Act; a leaked draft would weaken the bedrock law by changing the regulations that implement it rather than the law itself.

Unity schools pushing for loan to complete elementary school
The loan is being put before voters at the annual school district meeting Saturday in the Stevens High School Auditorium in Claremont. The meeting will start at noon.
The architect of the new school building Scott Vaughn will open the new building for tours Saturday from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.
According to Unity Elementary School Principal Chip Baldwin, the project has been plagued with site work and construction problems that lead to a redesign that triggered the need for additional funds.
Voters approved a $4.7 million bond to build the new school for kindergartners through eighth-graders at an August 2010 special meeting after state officials ordered Unity Elementary School closed due to numerous unresolved fire and building code violations.
The loan is being put before voters at Stevens High School in Claremont because until the school is completed there is no venue in town large enough to hold the anticipated crowd. The Unity School District is part of SAU 6, which serves the communities of Claremont, Cornish and Unity.

My name is Misty.
I'm 27, Australian, and I never know what to write in these things.
I'm a gamer, so you'll likely see a lot of posts relating to video games, especially League of Legends (sorry Dota fans).
You can also expect to see a decent amount of Batman posts, some sexy cars, awesome cosplayers, random cute things and awesome digital art.
Movie-wise I love action, adventure and horror. B-Grade monster movies like Sharktopus are also amazing for a good laugh. My current music style preferences are metal and dubstep.
Oh and I'm involved in a long-distance relationship so every so often there will be sappy stuff. Consider yourself warned!

THE OUTER LIMITS on DVD: The Greatest 2007 Swindle!,May 8, 2007 ByThis review is from: The Outer Limits: Volume 1 (DVD)This "redundant" DVD re-release is absurd and unfair and doesn't do justice to the show. It's a disgrace and a real swindle that a major and "wealthy" Studio release a vintage show in two volumes. With today's technology, you could, at least, obtain a complete restoration from the original 35 mm prints. The first DVD release was cheaply cleaned up and featured no extras and worst: no language options. I advise all "Outer Limits" diehard fans to read a full account of the lowdown first DVD edition by getting this publication serving as an evidence for the future: "Video Watchdog", n° 89 and n° 102, November 2002 and December 2003, articles by "Outer Limits" expert David J. Schow. I reject this vulgar 2007 DVD edition that deserves to be dumped into the "Pit" (Cf. "It Crawled out of the Woodwork")! I believe that the right action from the Studio would be to re-release the entire season in one single set including:
- 32 restored copies
- the two "restored" alternate pilots ("Please Stand By" and "The Unknown")
- restored trailers and promos
- audio commentaries by expert David J. Schow
- interviews with "Outer Limits" cast and crew
- isolated scores
- languages options (dubbings and subtitles: English, Spanish, French)"When this passion called aspiration becomes lust, then aspiration degenerates, becomes vulgar ambition, by which sin the angels fell."

Great series, lousy pricing for reissue and the EXACT same transfer with no extras,June 4, 2007 ByThis review is from: The Outer Limits: Volume 1 (DVD)The first season of "The Outer Limits" was the best. Sure the second season had some classic episodes (among them "Solider" and "Demon with a Glass Hand" which inspired James Cameron to come up with "The Terminator". I'd give the shows here 5 stars but 0 stars to MGM for this reissue. Why? Because these are the exact same digital transfers as last time. They haven't been enhanced with any thing AND there are no extras. I'd average that out to 2 stars for this set.
Don't get me wrong–the first season was terrific for the most part. This set (like the first season set) features the moving "The Man Who Was Never Born" with Martin Landau as a scarred victim of a viral holocaust who is given the chance to go back in time and prevent the birth of the man who created his sterile world. Featuring a rich score by the late Domninic Frontiere (among his best), this was "The Outer Limits" as its best. Also we get "The Galaxy Being" with Cliff Roberson who unwittingly brings an alien creature he has been communicating with from a world made of anti-matter into ours causing destruction and death. David McCallum in "The Sixth Finger" about the results of an experiment to push humanity to evolve to the next level but how, in the process, we lose the essence of what makes us human.
"The Zanti Misfits" like much of Stefano's work provides a neat allegory about human nature. We also get "The Borderlands" and many other classic episodes mixed with claptrap like "Human Factor" but almost everything here is terrific even if we're only getting half a season at a higher price than before.
Why not include a commentary track from surviving actors or David J. Suchow the author on the definitive book on "The Outer Limits"? Because MGM is convinced that you'll buy this set and the second one coming out in August AND pay more in the process because they've split them up. Heck, the least they could have done was got rid of those dreadful dual sided discs. Nope. These are dual sided as well.
So what do you get? 16 episodes–half the first season of the series. In August you can get the second half of the first season. I'm at a loss here–why release the exact same thing as before only in a different package? The only reason is so that retailers (such as Best Buy) who return things after a limited shelf life will carry this again. If you're going to do this at least give us some extras (a featurette on the visual effects, vintage interviews with the late Joe Stefano or Leslie Stevens, commentary tracks with Suchow discussing the making of the episode.
The show deserves 5 stars but Sony/MGM deserves 0 stars for this reissue. Get this instead. The Outer Limits – The Original Series, Season 1

I can't believe what I'm seeing…,May 14, 2007 ByJohn Gentile (Hoboken, NJ) –This review is from: The Outer Limits: Volume 1 (DVD)MGM splits the first season in half. You get 2 double sided discs, same format as the first release. No extras. I can only assume the episodes are NOT remastered. What is the point? True fans bought the first set. Casual fans will probably seek out their favorite episodes. What are the odds their favorites fall within the first 16 episodes?
This set makes no sense whatsoever. Without ANY additional attractions, I don't see why anyone would buy this.

On Memorial Day, it's important to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. We at Social Security honor the heroism and courage of our military service members and mourn for those who have given their lives in defense of freedom.
It's also important to recognize those service members who are still with us, especially those who have recently been wounded. They've served us; likewise we serve them.
Earnings for active duty military service or active duty training have been covered under Social Security since 1957. Social Security also has covered inactive duty service in the Armed Forces reserves (such as weekend drills) since 1988.
If you served in the military before 1957, you did not pay Social Security taxes, but we gave you special credit for some of your service.
You can get both Social Security benefits and military retirement. Generally, there is no reduction of Social Security benefits because of your military retirement benefits. You'll get your full Social Security benefit based on your earnings.
When you reach age 65, you'll also be eligible for Medicare. If you have health care insurance from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) or under the TRICARE or CHAMPVA program, your health benefits may change or end when you become eligible for Medicare. You should contact the VA, the Department of Defense, or a military health benefits advisor for more information.
If you've served in the Armed Forces and you're planning your retirement, you'll want to read our publication, Military Service and Social Security at http://www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10017.html.

National Floors Direct - Customer Service, Installation manager
Carpet Installation - Complaint
Review by
AVON, MASSACHUSETTS -- We had called National Floors to come to give a price to install carpeting in the living room. The salesman was very nice, we picked out the carpet from the samples. We then talked about the layout for the carpet and he suggested the long seam should be in the low traffic area against the far wall, having had many carpets installed, I was aware of the seams "fraying" and agreed. Now comes the install day. The two installers were very nice and knew what they were talking about and pointed out that instead of no seam in the high traffic area, there were 3 patch seams, totally different from what had been promised. I was sure it was a mistake and called the company and got the secretary who spoke to the "install manager" and was told they will not change it and he will not talk to me. I insisted on talking to him and he finally came to the phone. He told me he will not change the seam locations and if I insisted he will charge a restock fee and a higher price for the carpet. I raised my voice in disapproval "but with no bad language". His answer was to "go f**k myself, and he hung up.
I am now headed to small claims court because they won't even give my money back. KEEP AWAY FROM THEM. I am also filing a complaint with the "BBB" although I understand I will only be one of many.

Strange Oaks
Strange happenings at Strange Oaks; magically animated 'Advertisement' by our exciting new signing directing triumverate Headless. Feeling Peckish?
13 Manette St Soho London W1D 4AP +44 (0)20 7734 4575
If you're a talented animator or producer the best way to get in touch with us is:
5th FLOOR 446 Broadway Soho New York NY 10013 +1 (212) 226-2240
Headless is a troika of three talented directors usually working from studio spaces in Paris or Barcelona. Fluent in English, French and Spanish they are; Victor Maldonado, Adrian Garcia and Alfredo Torres.
When they started their career, Adrian and Victor worked on the character designs whilst Alfredo specialized in story layout and animation. Adrian and Victor came to art direction and directing later creating the feature film "Nocturna" (co-produced within France), which won the Goya Best Animated Feature in 2007. It is on "Nocturna" that they first met Alfredo, in charge of storyboard supervision and background design, and who ended up co-directing the film with them. The Headless collective first got notoriety in 2010 with their teaser short for "I¹m a monster" that enjoyed a true takeoff on the Internet.
Headless, "three characters, a single mind, no head at all": three
complementary talents, naturally gifted in animation and character design.
They offer you their colourful, cheerful, warm and smiling world that both children and grown-ups can easily relate to. Creating magical and yet so realistic characters, presented in an ultra fluid beautiful way. Hooray for Headless.

Someone unexpected has popped around for tea again, "Stay calm Dears". In this brilliantly observed CG short, the guests are very much unwelcome!
I'm a monster is a wonderfully witty animation about a monster whom has settled down with a human family.
"My family and the wolf" aims to be a love letter to childhood summers, attempting to evoke the recollections of certain lights and smells in an almost Proustian way, but above all that, to help claim our memories as our most valuable treasure.
This amazing feature project is developed by Nectarious films / Christine Ponzevera.

Florida's First Skyspace Created by James Turrell to Open on Winter Solstice at Sarasota's Ringling Museum
SARASOTA, Fla., Dec. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — On December 22nd, the Winter Solstice, The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art will open its Skyspace, created by the internationally renowned artist, James Turrell. At more than 3,000 sq. ft. it is the largest Skyspace yet created, featuring a 24 ft. square aperture in the canopy 35 ft. above and a central colonnade composed of columns 20 ft. high. Located in the William G. and Marie Selby Foundation Courtyard of the Ulla R. and Arthur F. Searing Wing of the Ringling Museum of Art, this is the only Skyspace in Florida and one of only two public Skyspaces on the East Coast.
"The Skyspace created by James Turrell is one of the most important acquisitions in the Ringling Museum's history," said Steven High, executive director of The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art. "It changes all of your notions of the museum experience, placing you in what feels like your own private world. In today's digital age, where we are bombarded with emails, tweets, photos and Facebook messages, James Turrell's Skyspace transports us to a contemplative place where we feel a deepened connection to the very essence of our being and the environment."
Sitting on precisely angled benches constructed of reclaimed cypress, the viewer's attention is subtly lifted to the 24 foot square aperture in the center of the canopy. So precise is the 'razor edge' of the aperture that the sky overhead becomes, in Turrell's words a, "plane in the sky." Through the use of LED, synchronized with the changing seasons, James Turrell is able to manipulate the viewer's optical response to the sky as seen through the aperture. At dawn or dusk, a program of changing colored light, bathing the interior of the space, shifts the viewer's perception of the sky from space, to void, to "solid" as the artist "changes" the color of the sky. The Skyspace seats 56 people and also includes creeping jasmine and fig so that over time it will become a lush, tropical environment mirroring its Florida locale.
"It is symbolic that as 2011 comes to a close, the 100 year anniversary of John and Mable purchasing property on what are today the grounds of The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, that their Museum houses the work of one of the leading artists of the 21st century, to be enjoyed and studied by this and future generations," added High.
Born in Los Angeles, James Turrell is one of the most influential contemporary artists at work today. James Turrell was born in 1943 in Los Angeles. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in experimental psychology at Pomona College at Claremont, California in 1965, followed by a Master's degree in Art from Claremont Graduate School in 1973. His work is represented in numerous public collections, including the Tate Modern, London; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York and the Israel Museum Jerusalem. The James Turrell Museum opened in Colome, Argentina in 2009. His solo exhibitions include Stedlijk Museum (1976); Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (1980); Israel Museum (1982); Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (1984); MAK, Vienna (1998-1999); Mattress Factory, Pittsburgh (2002-2003); and "The Wolfsburg Project" (2009-2010), Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, Germany. The concept of Skyspaces is closely connected to the creation of the Roden Crater Project in the Arizona desert. Since 1974, Turrell has been converting the Roden Crater – an extinct volcano on the edge of the Painted Desert, near Flagstaff, where Turrell has lived since 1979 – into an observatory. Visitors, students and faculty are invited to browse books about James Turrell's work in The Ringling Museum of Art Library, located in the Johnson-Blalock Education Center on the Ringling estate.
The Skyspace is the foundation for the Ringling's Art of Our Time initiative, which reflects the Museum's efforts to promote understanding of and appreciation for the contemporary visual and performing arts by showcasing works from artists, such as James Turrell, that are profoundly influencing our culture. The Skyspace was made possible through the generous support of Peter and Pam Vogt, Dick and Betty Nimtz and Bev Koski and her late husband Bob Koski.
The Skyspace will officially open during Greet the Light: Solstice Celebration in the Courtyard taking place from 8:00 p.m. to midnight on the Winter Solstice, Dec. 22, 2011. Patrons will be among the first to experience the Skyspace, while enjoying music by a DJ, dancing, and cash bar/food in the splendor of the Museum Courtyard. Tickets are $20 advance / $25 at the door; members $10 advance/$15 at the door.
General Admission includes the Ringling Museum of Art, special exhibitions, Ca' d'Zan mansion, Circus Museum, and Mable's historic Rose Garden, all on 66 acres of lushly landscaped grounds. Adults are $25; senior citizens (65 and over) are $20; children ages 6-17 are $5. Free Admission for children 5 and under accompanied by an adult, museum members. Advance tickets are available by calling 941.358.3180. Visit www.ringling.org for more information.
The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, Florida State University, is one of the largest museum/university complexes in the nation. It preserves the legacy of John and Mable Ringling, educating and enabling a large and diverse audience to experience and take delight in a world-renowned collection of fine art; Ca' d'Zan, the Ringling historic mansion; the Circus Museum; the Original Asolo Theater; and historic architecture, courtyard, gardens and grounds overlooking Sarasota Bay.

The Liberal Senate Forum
Senator Jim Munson, a well-respected Canadian journalist, was appointed to the Senate by the Rt. Honourable Jean Chretien on December 10, 2003.
Honourable senators, my question is to the Leader of the Government in the Senate. My question has to do with the government as a landlord. We know that across the country the federal government owns buildings and acts as a landlord to the many businesses that rent space in its buildings. I also understand that this government, in particular Public Works and Government Services, has made a decision to raise the rent of a very successful local business. The business in question is none other than The Brokerage restaurant. By boosting the rent, Helen Duguay will be forced to close her doors. Ottawans will no longer be able to taste the famous vegetable soup that even makes Brussels sprouts taste delicious.
Since the leader is a patron of this restaurant, there will be no more turkey wraps with cranberries and walnuts and no more healthy salads for her. For 32 years, Ottawans have enjoyed this wonderful food, and I understand a chain will replace this restaurant.
I know this government likes to talk tough and look tough. Why is it saying "tough luck" to a businesswoman who spent thousands over the 32 years she has been in business? On a personal level, where will the leader, herself a devoted patron of The Brokerage, go to lunch from now on?

When anyone says any BS about RIM going bankrupt next year or shutting down all the blackberry services I correct them. When anyone asks when BB (people rarely mention RIM where I'm from) is coming out with anything new I tell them they're launching new products on the 30th and if they're interested I'll tell them more. I'll retweet whenever RIM posts anything interesting/exciting. But I'm not really a RIM evangelist.
Maybe after the launch I'll get more proactive, but I don't really see the point now. Not to mention what everyone else has said about that not being our job. - 12-17-2012, 05:18 PM #52

I am doing what I always have...I buy the products they make that I consider worth my money. Outside of that it is not the responsibility of the consumer to "help" the company.
- 12-17-2012, 06:20 PM Thread Author #55
What are you doing to help RIM?
Guys. It is not your responsibility. If you don't want to help, Just ignore this thread. I for one want to help. Just don't give us a lecture on how its not your responsibility. All i'm asking is if you're doing anything.
- 12-17-2012, 08:04 PM #56RIM is dead. Long live BlackBerry!
In the end BB owners help themselves when they promote the company, because getting more BB users will mean: More users, so top name Apps will join BB, More BBM friends, better ecosystem in general, more money for RIM, so RIM can concentrate in making better phones and maybe launching related products with BB10 ( Tablets, Notebooks, TV, etc), it will also increase the chance for a licensing deal with BB10 where companies like Samsung would use BB10 on their phones which would compound all the reasons I stated above.
I'm the customer.... What is RIM doing to help me!
Much of the "hate" that RIM gets on this site, isn't from trolls but people who have invested in the Brand and have watched the Company make very bad decisions over and over, or in many cases took too long to make any decisions. Many want to say this is a new Company... but that has YET TO BE SEEN.
If RIM releases a good BB10 Device, I'm sure I'll buy it. But it will need to be a Great Device with an Ecosystem if you expect the average consumer to buy it. And don't expect me to try to "sell" a device that isn't great to my friends or family. Right now everyone laughs at my BB, and I have to agree with them. But it does what I need (at least paired with a PlayBook it does). - 12-18-2012, 11:21 AM #60

It isn't classified as AWD but for cheap, fun, and off road capable, an old geo tracker is pretty good. Had one when i was a kid and the insurance wasn't too high on it
An older, Pre-Tacoma, Toyota pickup would fill the bill. Not an AWD, but available as a 4WD. Insurance should not be high on an older vehicle that is not a speed racer.
You didn't say what "cheap" means but I would suggest looking for 94 or newer Toyota FZJ80 Land Cruiser. All wheel drive and one of the most durable rigs on, and off, the road. Plenty capable stock and there are tons of aftermarket parts should you want to upgrade.
What if there were no hypothetical questions?
Get A SCOUT!! Everybody's gonna laugh at me but Ive always wanted one of these....
I could be wrong but does it really make much of a difference for insurance, (4x4 vs. all wheel drive)? My first was a 90 Bronco that I still have and am still modifying to be a better wheeler. My dad picked it up for $50 but they are normally a little more than that Just keep checking craigslist and you are bound to find something.
I believe insurance is determined more by engine size than how many wheels are powered. I paid more for a 6 cylinder 2wd than i did for a 4 cylinder 4x4
In ky, the insurance lady told me the motor didn't matter? However it was a v-8 s-10. I pay pretty good change on my 94 Toyota pickup.
Oh dern.... Revelation 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
I would just go with an ATV in that case.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

US 4847063 A Abstract Method of forming a hollow, carbon/carbon composite article around an axis of symmetry, in which method a heat refractory mandrel is shaped to provide a desired inner surface configuration and tolerances of the article, and one or more plies of thermally stable carbon filaments are braided over the surface of the mandrel. The filaments have a diameter of substantially not greater than about 6 microns and a modulus of elasticity of substantially not less than about 45 then impregnated with a carbonizable liquid impregnant, and the assembly of impregnated plies and mandrel is heat treated so as to carbonize the impregnant. The resulting composite article has a high translation of the original strength of the filaments and has an inner surface defined by the outer surface of the mandrel.
Claims(18) 1. A method of forming a hollow carbon/carbon composite article around an axis of symmetry, said method comprising the steps of:
shaping a surface of a heat refractory mandrel to the desired inner surface configuration and tolerances of said article; covering said surface of said mandrel with one or more plies of thermally stable carbon filaments having diameters of substantially not greater than about 6 microns and a modulus of elasticity of substantially not less than about 45 impregnating said plies with a carbonizable impregnant while on said mandrel; and heat treating the assembly of said impregnated plies so as to carbonize said impregnant. said surface and said assembly being releasable intact from one another. 2. A method as defined in claim 1 including the steps of reimpregnating said assembly with additional impregnant and carbonizing said reimpregnated assembly cyclically until a desired density of carbon/carbon is reached.
3. A method as defined in claim 1 wherein said step of covering is effected by triaxially braiding said filaments.
4. A method as defined in claim 1 wherein said step of covering is effected by biaxially braiding said filaments.
5. A method as defined in claim 1 wherein said impregnant is a mixture of aldehyde and phenol.
6. A method as defined in claim 1 wherein the step of impregnating includes saturating said plies with impregnant.
7. A method as defined in claim 1 wherein said mandrel is formed of metal, ceramic or graphite.
8. A method as defined in claim 7 including the step of treating the surface of said mandrel with a release agent prior to braiding said plies on said mandrel.
9. A method as defined in claim 1 wherein said surface of said mandrel is formed in part of metal and in part of graphite, and including the step of treating only the metallic portions of said surface with a release agent prior to braiding said plies on said mandrel.
10. A method as defined in claim 1 wherein said mandrel is formed of polytetrafluorethylene.
11. A method as defined in claim 1 wherein said mandrel is formed of graphite and the step of heat treating said assembly is carried out at a temperature at which said impregnant will graphitize.
12. A method as defined in claim 3 including the step of angularly shifting, during braiding, the position of axial filaments in each said ply with respect to the corresponding axial filaments in each immediately adjacent ply.
13. A hollow, composite carbon/carbon article having an axis of symmetry, said article comprising:
a plurality of successive plies of carbon filaments embedded in a carbonized matrix, said filaments being heat stabilized, having a diameter of less than about 6 microns and having a modulus of elasticity of substantially not less than 45 the inner surface of said article being established by the surface of a mandrel on which said plies were originally placed. 14. A hollow, composite article as defined in claim 13 having a density of not less than 1.35 gm/cc.
15. A hollow, composite article as defined in claim 13 including elements of carbon/carbon material bonded to the interior surface of said article by the material of said matrix, said elements having a higher density than the density of said plies and matrix.
16. A hollow, composite article as defined in claim 13 and having a wall thickness of as small as 20 mil inches.
17. A hollow, composite article as defined in claim 13 and having a substantially conical form.
18. A hollow, composite article as defined in claim 13 wherein said carbon filaments are braided together.
Description The following examples illustrate the process for forming the composite article of the present invention, are presented solely for illustration and should not be interpreted as limiting. A male metal mandrel of aluminum is prepared is the desired shape and size by conventional machining to provide the specifically desired inner surface configuration and tolerance for the final product. The completed mandrel is then coated with a release agent to facilitate removal of the intact mandrel after the initial densification step. To this end, five spray coats of a commercially available release agent (Mono Coat E63 from Chem Trendo, Inc.) are applied to the mandrel followed by one hour heat conditioning at about 165 formed of polytetrafluorethylene, no release agent is needed. The mandrel is then mounted on a conventional triaxial braider. The braider is loaded with creels of tows of carbonized filaments of about 5 microns in diameter, the filaments having been formed from a precursor (e.g. Apollo 55 PAN fiber) carbonized and heat stabilized at approximately 2500 by triaxially braiding a desired number of plies around the mandrel to achieve the desired thickness. The small diameter carbon fibers permit one to form very thin plies, typically about 6 to 12 mils in thickness. Each ply is staggered (i.e. braided with the axial filaments angularly shifted a few degrees from ply to ply), to allow nesting of the axial filaments. To this end, using a 64 braid carrier that introduces 32 equiangularly spaced axial reinforcement filaments into each ply of the preform, the axial filaments of each ply are angularly shifted by 11.25.degree. in either direction with respect to immediately adjacent plies. Following completion of braiding, the mandrel and braided assembly are removed from the braider and the assembly is sprayed with an impregnant that is 67 wt % furfural and 33 wt % resorcinol in amount sufficient to saturate the preform, and excess impregnant is wiped gently from the surface of the preform. The wiped saturated preform is then placed in an oven and cured at about 165 then removed and the cured, impregnated preform is carbonized in an argon environment by heating to 800 carbonization, the carbonized preform is allowed to cool, and reimpregnated on the mandrel again and again carbonized through an additional number of similar cycles until a desired density preferably not less than 1.35 gm/cc is achieved. The preform is then removed from the mandrel as the finished product. A mandrel of the desired surface configuration and tolerances is formed by machining a graphite block, the mandrel is treated with a release agent, and the desired number of plies of heat stabilized, 5 micron diameter carbon filament is braided over the mandrel as described in Example I. The braided preform is impregnated and carbonized as described in Example I and the entire assembly, including the mandrel is then heat treated in an induction furnace under nitrogen to 2500 graphitize the preform. Additional steps of reimpregnating and reheating the assembly to carbonization temperatures are conducted until the preform has reached the desired density. A mandrel is formed by machining steel to the desired shape with appropriate spaces for shaped inserts in the mandrel surface. Inlays or inserts of densified carbon/carbon (e.g. 1.9 gm/cc) are appropriately formed and machined so as to be fitted into the spaces in the steel mandrel surface, thereby forming a multicomponent mandrel. Of course, the design of the mandrel has to be such that a preform with the inserts attached thereto can be readily released from the mandrel subsequently, as by sliding it off the latter. Only the metal portion of the mandrel surface is treated with a release agent (Release All #30 from Air Tek International), and the mandrel conditioned in an oven at about 160 The conditioned mandrel is then mounted in a braider and, as in Example I, a sequence of plies of small diameter, heat-stabilized, high modulus carbon filament braided over the mandrel to provide the desired preform. The latter is then saturated with an appropriate impregnant, making sure that impregnant fills the interstices of the braid immediately adjacent each of the carbon/carbon inserts. The preform/mandrel assembly is subjected to heat treatment as in Example I. Additional cycles of densification are repeated until the final product has the desired density. After the carbonization cycles have been completed, the preform is removed from the mandrel with the inserts integrally bonded to and aligned along the interior of the braided portion of the preform. It will be seen that the invention provides a process that creates dimensionally stable, thin walled, carbon/carbon, net shape composites having an axis of symmetry. The process permits one to create such net shapes with wall thicknesses as small as 20 mil inches (0.02") without machining, thereby greatly reducing the associated component weight without impairing the fundamental strength of the high modulus fibers. The process of the present invention also permits ready and accurate reproducibility of a particular net shaped carbon/carbon article, with a net surface finish both inside and outside of the article. Lastly, because the process of the present invention also provides a technique for accurately preassembling, aligning and bonding high density carbon/carbon elements to the preform, many problems of nozzle or exit cone attachment and alignment are overcome. Since certain changes may be made in the above process and articles of manufacture without departing from the scope of the invention herein involved, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description shall be interpreted in an illustrative and not in a limiting sense. This invention relates to composite materials, and more particularly to light weight, high-strength, articles of composite materials shaped around an axis of symmetry. Composite material, i.e. material formed of fibers of high tensile strength embedded in a matrix with a high modulus of elasticity, have become particularly important in a number of areas such as the aerospace industry. Specifically, carbon/carbon composites having an axis of symmetry have found use in missile nose cones, nozzles exit cones and other environments where light weight yet highly refractory properties are desirable. The term "having an axis of symmetry" as used herein is intended to apply not only to bodies that are bilaterally symmetrical such as bodies of revolution (e.g. cylinders, cones and the like) but such bodies having non-circular cross-sections orthogonal to the axis of symmetry (e.g. oblate, oval, trapezoidal and the like), and specifically also to apply to articles and bodies of revolution in which other densified carbon bodies are or may be incorporated. One method of forming such bodies from composites involves extruding or molding a mixture of reinforcing fibers or filaments and a carbonaceous binder. After curing the binder, the body is heated to a temperature sufficient to carbonize the binder and/or filaments. An obvious disadvantage of this process is that the body formed tends to be too heavy for man applications, and manufacturing control of the wall thickness and the density of the body is difficult. In another conventional method of fabrication of carbon/carbon components with an axis of symmetry typically one lays up plies of fabric on a mandrel, reiteratively impregnates the lay up with a liquid impregnant that will carbonize when heated sufficiently, and carbonizes the impregnated lay up. However, since many high modulus fibers, including carbon fibers, tend to be very brittle, hard to handle and often difficult to weave directly into cloth, the fabric is frequently first woven from a carbonaceous fiber precursor, such as polyacrylonitrile (PAN), and the fabric itself is then subsequently carbonized. Such a method of fabrication of a composite body requires exacting care in stacking the plies and applying binder if one wishes to avoid undesirable variations in wall thicknesses. It should be noted that high modulus fibers have been used in making preforms that are subsequently densified to produce composite bodies, but such use has been primarily to reduce or minimize cracking during the heat treatment in producing the final product. Another known method of forming carbon/carbon bodies about an axis of symmetry involve winding fibers, in the form of filaments, yarns, tapes or felts and preferably in a carbonized form, about a mandrel. The fiber form is impregnated, either before or after winding, with a binder under pressure, cured and then carbonized, for example as taught in U.S. Pat. No. 3,917,884. Yet another method of forming carbon/carbon bodies about an axis of symmetry involves weaving carbon fibers over a mandrel in polar coordinates to produce a preform. The preform is impregnated with binder and the latter is subsequently carbonized. Polar coordinate weaving is subject to many of the general problems noted above regarding weaving with high modulus fibers. These prior art methods frequently involve incorporation of overstock or selvage material that must be removed, usually by machining, to achieve the final desired configuration. Such machining inevitably cuts or interrupts the reinforcing carbon fibers within the composite, impairing strength and modulus while amplifying the effects of small distortions. Particularly, where the desired article is a body of revolution, in whole or in part, about an axis of symmetry (e.g. a rocket exit nozzle), machining rotation may be crucial. If the fiber axes are not properly aligned with respect to the face of the cutting tool, the fibers may bunch and unwrap or be torn apart. Even with proper alignment, too deep a machining cut will create a similar problem. Typically, during densification (one or more cycles of impregnation with a binder followed by corresponding carbonization) of carbon/carbon articles formed according to the prior art, small deformations either in expansion or contraction may occur due to thermal or chemical changes in the carbon fibers or mismatches between the coefficient of expansion of the carbon matrix and the fibers. Still another method of forming carbon/carbon bodies around an axis of symmetry employs braiding techniques. Braiding is an ancient textile process of interconnecting fibers to produce a web in which the fibers are oriented symmetrically about an axis. Following braiding, the articles can then be densified by the usual techniques. In a biaxial braid, the fibers are oriented at angles of +φ and -φ to the braid axis, the angle being either fixed or variable. A triaxial braid employs a third fiber axis oriented parallel to the braid axis. A biaxially braided web can be easily made to conform to various contours of a surface, but a triaxially braided web cannot be molded to other shapes but must be braided onto a form or mandrel in the desired net shape. Braiding machines capable of mechanically forming biaxial and triaxial braids from carbon fibers are commercially available in the United States from such companies as Rockwell International and New England Butt/Wardell in Rhode Island. A primary object of the present invention is to provide a process for manufacturing hollow bodies of composite materials around an axis of symmetry, which process overcomes the problems of the prior art above indicated. Yet other objects of the present invention are to provide such a process in which the a hollow body is braided from thermally stable carbon filaments of high modulus of elasticity to a desired or final (i.e. net shape) over a mandrel and subsequently densified, thereby permitting one to form a highly stable body with no machining required; to provide such a process in which the thermally stable filaments are less than about six microns in average diameter; to provide such a process in which the braiding and densification steps are accomplished using the same mandrel; and to provide a light-weight, strong, hollow body formed of a carbon/carbon composite relatively inexpensively and with high precision. Yet other objects of the present invention will in part appear obvious and will in part appear hereinafter. The invention accordingly comprises the processes and the several steps and relation of one or more of such steps with respect to each of the others, and the product possessing the feature, properties and relation of elements which are exemplified in the following detailed disclosure and the scope of the application of which will be indicated in the claims. Generally, to effect the foregoing and other objects, the present invention provides a carbon/carbon reinforced composite material formed of a carbonized matrix containing one or more plies of braided, elongated carbon filaments, such filaments being very high modulus carbon with average diameters of six microns or less. Such material is produced by a process that generally involves the steps of braiding one or more plies in successive layers about male tooling of predetermined shape to form a dry preform, such tooling being formed of a thermally refractory material, cyclically impregnating the dry preform on the tooling with a resin and carbonizing the preform following each impregnation. For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the present invention, reference should be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing wherein there is shown a schematic diagram of a mandrel of the present invention with a braided preform mounted thereon, shown partially in cross section and partially cut away. The process of the present invention is preferably carried out by first fabricating by any conventional technique, a male mandrel to the specific desired inner surface configuration and tolerances of the final product. The mandrel is preferably formed of a thermally refractory material such as graphite, metal, ceramic or high-temperature polymers such as polytetrafluorethylene. Where the mandrel is metal, graphite or ceramic, it is preferred to precoat the mandrel with a release agent to permit ready removal of the mandrel from the preform subsequently formed on it. No release agent is necessary when using a polytetrafluorethylene mandrel. Often one may also form a metal mandrel so that is can include pre-made graphitic portions that will become incorporated into the final product as described hereinafter. After the mandrel has been fabricated and coated, if necessary, it is then mounted on a conventional braider, and a desired number of plies of a biaxial or a triaxial braid of tows of carbon (preferably graphite) fibers or filaments are then formed over the mandrel. The fibers used for the braiding step are thermally stable, continuous monofilaments typically formed from polyacrylonitrile (PAN) precursor fibers. Importantly, such filaments are high modulus (e.g. 45 graphitized (at 2200 microns or less in average diameter. These PAN filaments enable the braided structure to remain dimensionally stable throughout subsequent heat treatment of the preform. It will therefore be seen that each ply is very thin, being not substantially more than about 12 mils thick, and preferably less than about 6 mils thick. If triaxial braiding is used, each ply is staggered with respect to its underlying ply (i.e. the axial fibers are shifted by a small radial angle with respect to the underlying layer of axial fibers, thereby allowing the plies to nest without building up large axial ridges. For exemplary purposes, mandrel 20 is shown in the drawing as a conical element such as the frustum of a cone having an axis of symmetry (e.g rotation in this case) A--A, but it is to be understood that the mandrel can take many other shapes that may be regular such as cylinders or irregular such an hollow having a pear-shaped cross section and the like. A plurality of plies 22, 24 and 26 braided from filaments 28 are shown in biaxial braided form around mandrel 20, it being understood that the thickness of the plies and the width and separation of the braided filaments are all exaggerated for clarity in illustration. Top ply 26 illustrates a typically braid construction in which the braid angle, φ, of filaments 28 is shown with respect to the axis A--A. The article of the present invention can be formed so that some or all of the plies were a triaxial braid, and in such case each triaxially braided ply would thus further include a plurality of equispaced axial reinforcing filaments parallel to the mandrel surface. Following braiding of one or more plies over the mandrel until the net shape is formed with the desired structural properties and thickness, the preform is impregnated with a carbonizable liquid impregnant. Typically, a number of known impregnants capable of being carbonized may be used, e.g. high char yield phenolic resins, isomeric polyphenylene, coal tar pitch, parapolyphenylene, polyimides, mixtures of aldehydes and phenols such as furfural and resorcinol and the like. It will be apparent that the inner surface of the preform will be defined by the mandrel surface. Following impregnation of the preform, the outer surface is preferably wiped or doctored to remove excess impregnant. The thickness of the wall thus formed is of course determined by the number of plies as well as the diameter of the filament used for braiding. The saturated preform is cured and the assembly carbonized and graphitized by techniques and at temperatures and pressures well known in the art. A series of subsequent impregnation and carbonization steps may be added to increase the density of the final product, if desired. The same mandrel is used for each such impregnation step to insure that the inner surface of the finished article will conform as closely as possible to the mandrel shape and surface texture. Importantly, the use of heat stabilized fibers to form the braided preform, together with the use of the mandrel during at least initial carbonization of the product, insures that the structure will remain dimensionally stable during fabrication despite the large thermal gradients experienced in the process.

KPMG's DPP in Russia and the CIS has published a practical guide called A Comparative Analysis of IFRS vs RAP. The publication helps in understanding the significant differences between International Financial Reporting Standards and Russian GAAP.
The publication covers only significant distinctions most commonly encountered in practice. However, the significance of any difference will vary by entity. Some differences that appear major may not be relevant to some companies; on the other hand, a seemingly minor difference may cause organisations significant additional work.
The guide focuses on recognition, measurement and presentation, rather then on disclosure; therefore, disclosure differences generally are not discussed.
The IFRS requirements are discussed on the basis that the entity has adopted IFRSs already. The special transitional requirements that apply in the period in which an entity changes its national GAAP to IFRS are discussed in KPMG's Insights into IFRS publication.
The new publication is organised into topics, following the typical presentation of items in financial statement items and consistent with Insights into IFRS. A summary of IFRS requirements is included in the left-hand column. In the right-hand column Russian GAAP is compared to IFRS, highlighting similarities and differences.
The A Comparative Analysis of IFRS vs RAP (only Russian version) is available on the IFRS portal at kpmg.ru.
KPMG is a global network of professional firms providing Audit, Tax and Advisory services. We operate in 155 countries with more than 155,000 people working in member firms around the world.
