Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky gestures as he speaks with reporters on Capitol in Washington.Photo by Associated Press /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
FRANKFORT, KY. — Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell has met with Tennessee Valley Authority President William Johnson to seek continued operation of the Paradise Fossil Plant, a coal-fired generator in Drakesboro.
TVA is reviewing the future of the Paradise plant.
McConnell said closure of the plant, which burned more than 6 million tons of Kentucky coal last year, would hurt the economy.
Most of Kentucky's federal delegation co-signed a letter to Johnson, telling him it's important that TVA maintain an "all-inclusive energy portfolio." For that reason, they urged him to keep the coal-fired plant running and continue to purchase coal mined in Kentucky.
The plant has about 400 full-time employees. McConnell said thousands of other jobs are dependent on the plant, including those of coal miners.

Can you send Facebook relationship requests to people who are already in a relationship?
Okay so my old profile is locked and I can't get back on because Facebook thinks I'm 'fake' . So I made a new profile and I added my boyfriend. I tried sending him a relationship request and it isn't letting me send it. I asked a few friends if I could send some to them to make sure it just wasn't my computer and they all went through, all except the one to my boyfriend, his status it still 'in a relationship.' and it shows our anniversary. I think it's still linked to my deactivated account. Does he have to change his relationship status to single before I can send my request?

As I said in a comment, the netrw plugin, which handles http://, doesn't handle https:// (this from looking at the plugin code).

What you are asking for is called a proxy http server.

What you are looking for is called Mutual SSL Authentication.

No. You can't know it's a HTTPS handshake until the connection is open. At that point, it's too late to redirect it. The SYN packet doesn't tell you what's going to be transmitted; that's why we have port numbers to begin with.

Your assumption is wrong: you can use HTTPS downloads. You just have to find a mirror that supports it, and put its URL in your list of sources. You'll need to install the apt-transport-https package.
Debian doesn't make HTTPS downloads easy because there is very little benefit. Debian package distribution already includes a mechanism to verify packages: ...
It's not curl, but it should be available on almost all Unices:

If you want CRLF line endings:
wget -S --spider https://encrypted.site 2>&1 | awk '/^ / { sub(/$/,"\r"); print }'
You want to block any and all HTTPS sites? You need to do this with a firewall on your router. Blocking it in Squid won't prevent people from circumventing it unless the firewall on your router also blocks it. If your router blocks it than what squid does is irrelevant. Better yet, set the firewall to block all outgoing TCP connections except for port 80 ...
This has nothing to do with apache. Your http service and your https service are on different ports, and this port is specified in the TCP/IP header by the client. Apache is not making an arbitrary choice, it is just doing what it is supposed to do in response to a specific request made on a specific port.

Ximian Evolution is a MS Outlook clone that (for my purposes and considering that it's only a 1.0 release) does it better than Outlook does. These instructions are for installing only Evolution, none of the other Ximian products. For details and screenshots, see http://www.ximian.com/products/ximian_evolution/.
The binary RPMs for SuSE 7.1 are located at ftp://ftp.ximian.com/pub/ximian-gnome/suse-71-i386/
There's a lot of junk there that we're not interested there, obviously the important file is evolution-1.0-ximian.3.i386.rpm, but there's no way it'd be simply as easy as installing only one RPM. This RPM has many dependancies, which in turn have many dependancies. You can grab them with ftp, wget, a browser, whatever. If you want to be smooth, you can do a quick rectangle-kill and rectangle-yank with the ftp address above and create a quick & dirty shell script to download them for you...anyway, grab these files and put them into a directory together:
3436814 bonobo-1.0.14-ximian.1.i386.rpm 470485 bonobo-conf-0.14-ximian.1.i386.rpm 3140212 control-center-22.214.171.124-ximian.5.i386.rpm 16840280 evolution-1.0-ximian.3.i386.rpm 100560 gal-0.18.1-ximian.1.i386.rpm 878715 gconf-1.0.4-ximian.1.i386.rpm 8234584 gnome-core-22.214.171.124-ximian.5.i386.rpm 1997280 gnome-pilot-0.1.63-ximian.2.i386.rpm 271232 gnome-print-0.31-ximian.2.i386.rpm 1517466 gnome-vfs-1.0.1-ximian.5.i386.rpm 812392 gtkhtml-1.0.0-ximian.1.i386.rpm 281504 libbonobo-conf0-0.14-ximian.1.i386.rpm 1051874 libgal18-0.18.1-ximian.1.i386.rpm 45065 libghtt-1.0.9-ximian.8.i386.rpm 261013 libglade-0.16-ximian.3.i386.rpm 498911 libgnomeprint15-0.31-ximian.2.i386.rpm 628601 libgtkhtml20-1.0.0-ximian.1.i386.rpm 921329 libiconv-1.5-ximian.3.i386.rpm 106241 libnspr4-0.9.5-ximian.1.i386.rpm 549185 libnss3-0.9.5-ximian.1.i386.rpm 545057 oaf-0.6.7-ximian.2.i386.rpm 416971 pilot-link-0.9.5-ximian.2.i386.rpm 312658 ximian-menus-1.4-ximian.5.i386.rpm 346050 ximian-utils-0.2-ximian.1.i386.rpm |
Now that you have all (hopefully) of the files, you should check to see if there are any dependancies we have to meet.
$> su $> cd dir-with-evolution-rpms/ $> rpm --test -Uhv *.rpm |
If you have luck like me, that won't help. Go to www.google.com and do a quick search for the dependancy name and ximian, you should find the package that the resource is in easily. Grab it too, and then re-run 'rpm --test -Uhv *.rpm' again. Rinse, lather, repeat. Eventually we'll have no more failed dependancies, meaning it's on to... Installing:
If you've gotten this far it should be cake to install the RPMs. Do an
$> rpm -Uhv *.rpm |
$> rpm --force --nodeps *.rpm |
The user's manual is installed under
You may try to install the RPMS from SuSE in that case see |
You could always just install the SuSE built RPMS (includes 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3)
Only 0.99.2 (so not 1.0 like Ximian), but close enough and very little effort involved. |

Rental homes near Disney World
Before you even decide to pick a cheap hotel or accommodation facility in Orlando, Florida, perhaps it might be a good idea to learn some few bits about the area in general. Orlando is one of the major cities located at the heart of the Florida State on the south eastern regions of the United States. It has a total population of 200,000 people according to the recent population census; the metropolis is comprised of over 2 million inhabitants. It might also be worth noting that Orlando is the 5th largest city in terms of population density in Florida.
Before the establishment of Disneyland, Orlando was originally known for oranges and a myriad of citrus fruit farms. Today, it is best known as the home of best attractions and amusements. That is why you will come across many exhibition stands across the city; people just love to sample what Orlando has to offer in terms of art and heritage. Some of the most revered amusement attractions here are Universal Resort and the Walt Disney Resort. SeaWorld is also part of the list. There is no doubt that today; Orlando is classified as the 3rd most visited place in the US. How do you find the best and cheap accommodation services at the Disneyworld resort in Orlando? Perhaps this is a question you might want to raise in such a case. Well, let us see how.
Extra information about exhibition stands
Expedia is best known as a holiday guide and thus you can effectively use it to search for affordable accommodation in Orlando. The best thing with using Epxedia.com is that it has plenty of actual reviews from people who have visited the place before and stayed at the hotels here. The reviews state the amount of money you will be charged at every accommodation facility. At least with such details, you are able to know whether you are getting value for money or not.
This is an Orlando official site that you can also use to search for affordable accommodation in Disneyland. The platform makes your searches simpler by saving you time. You can search for various facilities depending on your budget until you finally arrive at a product that best suits your tastes and preferences. Some guest recommendations that are represented on the site will also serve to inspire you considerably.
This is another well known site that you can make good use of when searching for accommodation at Disneyland in Orlando. You can do simple searches on the site depending on your price range. The cheapest results show up first; therefore, you don't have to go through any hassles when you are searching for the most ideal accommodation in Orlando. In fact, just as the name implies, this is the best website to use if you want to search for any hotels and accommodation facilities not just in Orlando, Florida but also in other parts of the world.
I believe you now know how to approach your searches. It does not matter how strained your budget is, just rest assured that cheap accommodation is available at the Disneyworld resort in Orlando. Again, cheap does not necessarily have to be synonymous to poor quality. Expect the best!

August 23, 2013: The Safari Storme 'Explorer' Edition, which was unveiled by Tata Motors at HORIZONEXT in June this year, has now been finally launched in India for Rs 10.86 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). Explorer is basically an additional kit offered on the car with several new features like Explorer Front Nudge Guard , Explorer Edition signature decals , 2-DIN Touch Screen Infotainment System – hands-free and phonebook operations ,On-Screen provision for Reverse Parking Assist , Navigation Device , new chrome garnish for the projector headlamps and tail lamps , Explorer Edition Door Visors , New Art Leather seat covers and a few more, which help the car become sportier and more feature rich than before The regular Safari Storme's 2.2-litre VariCor turbocharged engine with VTT remains the same, which churns out the maximum power output of 138bhp and 320Nm of torque.
It was over a decade back that Tata Motors introduced a true blood SUV called Safari and after 14 years, entered the second generation. With Tata Safari a new kind of a rage had begun, and with the new version, the expectations are also at the same level. After a few months since the launch, one can safely say that Safari is a legacy that is here to live. Looking at the improving quality of this segment with recent entrant like Mahindra XUV500 and the Rexton along with the smaller SUVs like Renault Duster and Mahindra Quanto, Tata Motors could have made it work with nothing less than what Tata Safari Storme is.Tata Safari has been a symbol of masculinity in terms of looks. In the new generation of the SUV, that character trait is still maintained. What we see now in the form of Storme is an SUV with new and improved interiors as well as exteriors, which might be because of the Jaguar Land Rover take-over bid by Tata Motors. The previous model of Safari is powered by the 2.2- litre DiCOR engine. Storme on the other hand, features the Variable Turbine Technology – VariCOR. This new and refurbished engine is peppy, responsive and refined as compared to the previous mill. The chassis of the SUV has also been improved and now the new Safari Storme is based on the Tata Aria platform for improved rigidity in the chassis. With this the ride quality has improved in comparison to the 1st generation Safari. The mileage returned by Storme with its 4 Wheel Drive variants is 13.2kmpl on highways and about 9.3kmpl in the city. The 2 Wheel Drive is a little more efficient with 14kmpl on highways and about 10.3kmpl in the city. The Safari SUV has always been known for its Off-roading skill, which has got even better in the case of Storme. In terms of looks, the Storme has a new front fascia thanks to the new stylish front grille. The spare wheel has been done away with, a change that is appreciated by a few and not so much by the others. The interiors have received a touch that gives Storme some finesse. The space has also been improved along with the finish and quality. The driving has been improved especially in terms of the turning radius. Safari Storme now has a turning radius of 5.4 meters which is class leading for a vehicle of this size.
In terms of the competition in the market, Tata Safari takes Force One, Renault Duster and the new Mahindra XUV 500 head on. Though Duster is a smaller SUV, looking at its popularity, it has become a major challenge for Storme in the market, especially because of not so major difference in the pricing. Storme is also challenged by Mahindra Scorpio which is the all - time competitor for Safari ever since it launched. Scorpio has been getting continuous and timely updates, therefore this enhanced version of Safari is a good move made by Tata to keep the competition between Mahindra and Tata alive and at its full beam. Until now, one could safely say that Safari and Scorpio have almost the same features but with the new technologies and improved quality of fitments in Storme, the latter takes one step ahead of Scorpio. A similar 2.2-litre mHawk engine is also seen in the new XUV500 that delivers a power of 140bhp at 3750rpm and a torque of 330Nm between 1600 – 2800rpm. Scorpio on the other hand delivers 120bhp at 4000rpm and the torque produced is 290Nm between 1800 – 2800rpm. Storme with its new VariCOR engine produces 140bhp at 4000rpm and delivers a torque of 320Nm between 1700 – 2700rpm.
The base variant of the freshly launched Storme is powered with a 2.2L VariCOR Diesel engine which is a 16 valves DOHC VTT VariCor churns out 138.08bhp of peak power with 320Nm torque value. The 2179cc diesel engine comes mated to a G-76 (Mark II) manual transmission gearbox. The overall dimensions of the SUV are 4655mm x 1965mm x 1922mm with a wheelbase of 2650mm and ground clearance of 200mm.
...This Tata Safari Storme Explorer Edition trim is incorporated by the company with a 2.2-litre diesel engine with the displacement capacity of 2179cc. This powerful engine can generate a peak power of 138.1bhp at 4000rpm along with 320Nm of maximum torque at 1700 to 2700rpm, which is quite good. The company has given this SUV an advanced automatic climate control based air conditioner with air quality control, which gives extra comfort to the passengers. Apart from these, the list of other features includes, power steering, all four power windows, remote trunk and fuel lid opener, rear reading lamp, rear center armrest and many other such aspects for the convenience of the occupants. This SUV is also blessed with a number of safety aspects such as ABS, central locking, airbags, seat belts and other necessary features for the protection of the passengers.
...This mid variant gives you a luxurious feeling with the airy and beige interiors that Tata has endowed to appease the opulent class. There is ample leg space and headroom to accommodate the tall members of the family, and also plenty of luggage space for you to go on a holiday with this rugged SUV. The tilt-adjust (collapsible steering column), reclining front bucket seats with fore/aft adjustment position and lumbar support ensure fatigue free long drives. The integrated 12V-gadget charging points are available on first, second and third row seats. The vehicle is equipped with a dual-AC with a separate integrated roof mounted blower for rear passengers.
...The VX variant of the Storme comes fraught up with safety features like vacuum assisted independent hydraulic, ventilated disc brakes on all four- wheels and a 4 channel ABS with EBD, which helps in keeping the vehicle under control, during emergency braking conditions. In addition, there are features like the inertia switch and an auto engine immobilizer. In an exigency, the inertia switch automatically cuts off the fuel supply to the engine, and unlocks all the doors and also switches on the hazard warning light, to warn other road users. The Storme is also fitted with PES headlamps for better illumination and unwanted glare.
...Storme top end variant VX comes with four wheel drive option, its the only variant that gives you control over all the tyres. The SUV boasts of all new front grille, side cladding, refreshed headlamps, aerodynamically designed spoilers, new pull-type door handles and ergonomically designed side foot-steps.
...2012 Safari Storme is powered by 2.2 litre VariCOR engine that helps the SUV perform much better than the previous version. The new chassis is also an improvement that helps Storme deliver a smooth drive. Storme based on new Aria chassis, makes the drive more refined because now the engine has gone more powerful whereas the car has become lighter and the rigid frame helps reduce the roll. The power delivered by the vehicle is 138.08bhp at 4000rpm and maximum torque produced is 320Nm between 1700 – 2700rpm. The SUV gets a forward drive option along with an All-Wheel Drive model as well. The former variants are Lx, Ex and the Vx. These models deliver a mileage of about 10.8kmpl in the city and on highways the mileage returned by Storme is 13.2kmpl. The Vx Four Wheel Drive variant on the other hand returns a mileage of 13.2kmpl on highways and about 9.3kmpl in the city. All time competitor to the Tata company, the Mahindra's recent XUV500 in comparison to Safari Storme delivers city mileage of 12kmpl, while highway mileage of 14kmpl. While another strong contender, again from the Mahindra shed, the sturdy Scorpio delivers These figures quite clearly state that mileage of all of these are almost the same and therefore it would be much more than the engine that would have to be considered while choosing between Storme and its competitors.
A lighter chassis and improved engine, of course would result to a powerful output. The 2.2-litre DOHC VTT VariCOR engine of Safari Storme churns out a power output of about 138.08bhp at 4000rpm and produces a torque of about 320Nm between 1800 – 2800rpm. This power matches the SUVs off-roading capabilities to a substantial extent. Scorpio on the other hand delivers about 120bhp at 4000rpm and a torque figure of 290Nm between 1800 – 2800rpm. The powerhouse of Scorpio is the ever so impressive mHawk CRDe. The powerful vehicle from Tata Motors now has better grip with the road and as usual, take a Safari wherever, no matter what the terrain is, expect nothing but a perfect off road drive.
Looking at the wild character of the Safari Storme the peppy engine is of a perfect nature. This SUV can reach the 100kmph mark from 0 in just about 15 seconds which is not as fast but good enough to keep this wild beast a little tamed. The top speed for Storme is 165kmph, a figure that's quite impressive for a vehicle of this size. Such top notch figures add to the excitement of off-roading. With power packed performance, exciting off road capabilities, decent acceleration and pick up figures along with its VariCOR engine, Storme can be proved as quite a catch. The good part about the Safari has been its balance and road grip which is a big negative with Mahindra Scorpio as the latter sways quite a lot while cornering and speeding whereas the former keeps itself well rooted to the road. This factor has been further enhanced, thanks to the new chassis from the Aria platform.
In terms of looks, the masculinity of Safari has been kept alive even with Storme with maximum changes to the rear end of the car. Whatever version of the Safari we look at, it is a loved vehicle in terms of its looks. The wide stance of the vehicle gives it quite a bit of off-road character. Apart from the wide stance, the vehicle also has good height and ground clearance. The previous SUV has made a mark in the minds of the people in terms of how it looks. There have been changes made in the looks of the SUV, most of them for the better. One major change in the SUV has been that the spare wheel from the tail gate has been done away with and now the spare wheel has been moved under the rear side of the vehicle. Storme now flaunts a new and stylish honeycomb grille that gives the front fascia a slimmer and a wider look. The headlights have now become sharper and as a result the front looks as aggressive as ever. From the sides, the newer version of Safari still looks the same. The design of Storme looks inspired from Range Rover. There is a lot of chrome that can be seen on Storme's exteriors. This chrome gives Safari Storme a new and luxurious feel. The headlights get xenon lamps and lens projector which helps improve the visibility for the driver during night driving. There are side blinkers integrated on the ORVMs. The side has muscular wheel arches along with 16inch alloy wheels. The foot rails have become wider. With the spare wheel gone, the rear end of the vehicle looks cleaner and the windscreen looks larger and offers better visibility. There is the windscreen wiper and washer along with a new tailgate. The exteriors have changed but more or less Safari legacy is still carried on in this vehicle. After 14 years, one expected a little more change in terms of exteriors.
Exterior Measurements
Dimensionally this car is big enough with wheelbase about 2650mm, length measured at 4655mm, width of 1965mm and height being 1922mm. Overall these figures give Safari Storme quite a stance. The size of the tyres that this vehicle stands on are 235/70 R16. What makes this vehicle perfect for off-roading is the tremendous ground clearance, which is about 200mm. These figures are good enough to give one an idea that the vehicle in conversation here is quite a majestic one with a impressive stance and quite a road presence. Whether it's a large boot space or interior spacing that we discuss, Storme is quite sure shot.
The fantastic thing about Safari entering its second generation is the improvement in the quality of interiors and fitments. The cabin has improved a lot and with chrome here and there adds to the panache along with comfortable seating and improved spacing. The front seats as usual are very comfortable, even for the very tall people. There is third row seating as well. These jump seats are good enough but for shorter journeys. During longer runs, these jump seats might leave the passengers a little sore. In the mid-level variants along with entry level trim, the seat gets fabric upholstery however the top end model gets leather. The dashboard gets new dials on the instrument panel and looks much cleaner and smoother. The overall ambiance has undoubtedly improved, maybe because of what Tata is learning from Range Rover that they bought recently. Depending on the variant, interiors have got new colour themes. The Vx which is top of the line, flaunts Sahara Beige and Sandstone Beige theme. Down the line, Lx and Ex variants are offered with Java Black and Sandstone Beige theme. In total there are about 10 air vents, front and for the rear passengers. This increase in number of air vents allow one to maintain the cabin climate very well.
Interior Comfort
Along with plush interiors there is the Alpine music system that lets one enjoy the drive. The Air conditioning in the vehicle is with manual electric control. There is a separate blower for the passengers in the rear. The Climate Control in the vehicle seems to have improved as well. Adding to the comfort of driving is the power steering wheel. The Steering in fact is so light that it would surprise you because it is not what one expects looking at the size of this vehicle. The top end variants get full power windows and airbags for safety. In one line, one can safely say that Tata has managed to bring the interiors of Storme to match up the standard.
The engine of Safari Storme is the same 2179cc in-line engine that now uses the VariCOR technology instead of DICOR. The maximum power churned out by this turbo diesel is 138bhp at 4000rpm and the torque produced by Storme is 320Nm between 1700 – 2700rpm. This higher power and torque is the due to the fully electronic controlled fuel injection system with the higher injection pressure. The transmission used is a 5 speed manual gearbox. One can feel a small lag at the lower RPM especially when one revs up the engine from a standstill. The good part of the VariCOR is that the engine is now much quieter. More refined engine and a lighter chassis results to a more performance oriented vehicle. The Safari now is based on the Aria platform. All these factors together result to a decent acceleration for the SUV. It can now accelerate from 0 – 100kmph in just about 15 seconds while the top speed achievable is 165kmph. The mileage for the Four Wheel Drive variant is about 13.2kmpl when on highways and about 9.3kmpl in the city traffic. The two wheel drive on the other hand delivers 10.8kmpl and 14kmpl on city and highways respectively. The direct injection common rail engine with 16-valve, aluminium cylinder heads is a world class design engine and the VTT – Variable Turbine Technology that has been incorporated allows a greater and much better performance. The engine is BS IV compliant. Further the shift- on-fly 4x4 engages the vehicle well whether the terrain is gravel, mud, snow or any such off road terrain. The engine does reflect that it would be pretty difficult to keep spirits low when you lay your hands on this off-roading machine.
Accessorising the Safari Storme is the Apline music system which is compatible with iPod as well as features the USB and Bluetooth compatibility. The handling of the vehicle is comfortable and this is further enhanced with the new age MP3 system present in the Storme. This entertainment system adds to the whole ambiance of the cabin and this acts as an added benefit.
You can now buy . Great discounts available.Tata Safari Storme is a an Off Road vehicle therefore features wide stance,amazing ground clearance, sturdiness, wheels etc. are all designed to support the SUV purpose. The Wheels of Storme are of the size 235/70 R16. These are big enough to support and maintain the stance of the vehicle. Matching the newer look, the wheels get 5 spokes that looks like they have been taken from the luxurious vehicle Aria. The spare wheel has now been removed from the tailgate and moved under the floor of the rear end of the vehicle. This has resulted to a new tailgate as well as better visibility through the rear windscreen. This change is loved by a few because now the vehicle now flaunts a little less muscle whereas for those who loved the masculinity of the vehicle don't appreciate this change. These wheels help balance the vehicle that weighs about 2000kgs in its two wheel drive trim and about 2095kgs in its four wheel drive. No compromise has been made from the company's end to design that car element which is under constant frictional force. It's very important for the owners as well to maintain these.
Braking and handling for a vehicle that off roads quite often is of utmost importance. Looking at this, Safari Storme gets an efficient braking system whereby it is fitted with vacuum assisted independent hydraulic brakes. The ventilated braked with EBD help make the braking very precise and sharper whether on the road or on uneven rough terrain. The suspension used is the independent double wishbone type with coil springs in the front and 5 - link suspension with coil springs at the rear wheel. Together,the braking system and suspension system gives a comfortable drive for the passengers irrespective of the terrain. Further enhancing the safety of the passengers is the ABS that helps keep the SUV under the control of the driver. The 16inch wheels also assure a comfortable and easy handling by maintaining the traction with the road. Whether it's the city roads, smooth highways or the rugged terrains, Storme is set to assure a comfortable drive. This is one section where Safari Storme scores considerably higher in comparison to its leading competitor from Mahindra, the Scorpio. Scoprio is also a decent vehicle but there is a lot of sway that can be felt especially at higher speeds and cornering.
For most buyers of Tata cars, drive quality is always a point of concern but with the new Storme it seems the company has paid a lot of attention to the longer run. The drive quality has improved a lot with the Storme and the engine with its re-tunning gives the SUV a much more comfortable drive as compared to its predecessor. The features like Anti-lock Braking System with EBD (Electronic Brake-force Distribution) and vacuum assisted independent hydraulic brakes ensure a safe drive for the passengers. For the safety of the vehicle there is the remote central locking. There is also the master light switch with fog lamp controls for better driveability. The fog lamps front and those at the rear, get clear lens and reflex reflector. The higher trims gets passenger and driver airbags along with side impact bars with crumble zone that is a standard feature across the line. This crumble zone helps absorb impact in case of a front collision and keep the injuries to the driver and front passenger to the minimum. The top end gets the reverse guide system and the display for which is in the interior rear view mirror. The rear view mirror is anti-glare thus adding to the ease of driving for the driver. The SUV gets a superior crash worthiness which keeps the damage to the driver to the minimum and ensures passenger safety. Another feature that is improving the structural strength is the ladder frame construction that is very sturdy.
Along with the braking, suspension system in the car also makes the drive quite decent. At front wheel there is the independent double wishbone type suspension and at the rear end there is the 5 – link suspension system. The front suspension comes integrated with coil spring shock absorbers. This system is soft and helps the SUV deliver on its promise for a comfort drive no matter what the terrain is. Further, the turning radius for the SUV has also been improved and now is just 5.4 meters which makes it easy to drive within the city as well.

Angeles City located within the province of Pampanga in the Philippines, is locally classified as a first-class, highly-urbanized city. The city administers itself autonomously from Pampanga.
Angeles is served by the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport inside the Clark Special Economic Zone (formerly Clark Air Base and now renamed Clark Freeport Zone), which is located in the northwestern part of the city. As the former home of the largest United States military facility outside of the continental United States, it was significantly affected by the base pullout brought about by the eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991 as the economy of Angeles was heavily dependent on the American base at that time.
Angeles has been dubbed the "Entertainment Capital of Central Luzon." According to the Center for Kapampangan Studies, the dish sisig originated in this city and has been on the menu since the 1730s. Thus Angeles has also become well-known as the culinary center of Pampanga.

Ho thought of hexawise and pairwise / combinatorial test design approaches when they saw these 13 questions. I was amused that after i drafted this post, i saw jared quinert's / @xflibble's tweet just now:] where do i come down on each of james' 13 questions with respect to people i talk to about our test design tool, hexawise, and the types of benefits and the size of benefits it typically delivers? generic viagra online www.zidousha-hoken-direct.jp Quite simply, "yes" to all 13. I enjoy talking about exactly the kinds of questions that james raised in his list. In fact, when i sought out james to ask him questions at a conference in boston earlier this year, it was because i wanted his perspective on many of the points above, particularly #11: (hearing stories about how james has seen pairwise and combinatorial approaches to test design fail), and #7 (hearing his views on where it works best and where it would be difficult to apply it). I'll save my specific answers to another post, but i am serious about wanting to share my thoughts on them; time constraints are holding me back today. I gave a speech at the asq world conference on quality improvement in.

Guest Post - The Beaded Pillow
Today I'd like to introduce Karen from "The Beaded Pillow." She does beautiful and unique work with fabric and beads. Come on, take a closer look... Take it away Karen....
Several years ago I bought some beads to make a necklace. I enjoyed creating something pretty and useful with my own hands and started making jewelry to sell at craft fairs. Then a friend, who also made custom drapes, asked me if I would have a use for her fabric sample books. I love to recycle and reuse so I said yes and shortly after started The Beaded Pillow.
My one-of-a-kind pillows are mainly embellished with seed beads and the occasional faux pearl, but I like to use vintage buttons and glass beads as well.
Heavier fabrics work best to better "seat" the beads. Bold colors and fun prints are fun to work with but I try to offer neutral pillows as well. I have my personal favorites – they seem to dominate in my Etsy shop – but I also try to consider all tastes and décor options for my customers and do my best to offer a variety.
I work alone and since I create each item by hand, from selecting the fabric and beads, to sewing and beading, it is often a slow process to list a new pillow for sale. Sometimes I can finish a small pillow in a day, but a pillow like Orange Octopus may take up to two weeks. I've never actually counted how many beads go onto such a detailed beaded pillow – best guess would be hundreds!
Besides pillows, I create beaded coasters, ornaments/hangers, caps and pendants. I find myself getting too comfortable doing the same thing and remind myself to be open to new ideas.
What I can't live (well, work) without: a foam work pad, straw needles (the only needles that work with seed beads!) and my MP3 player loaded with good stories.
This bead rack on my work table holds the tubes of beads I use the most...
A typical pillow kit includes fabric, backing, threads and beads....
I use a small piece of foam to keep seed beads from rolling away...
Naming a pillow happens while I work. This is Spring Birds.....
One completed Spring Birds.....
Seed beads and small faux pearls.....
This butterfly is small so I've only beaded its wings with transparent orange and mango seed beads...
Spring Birds is complete!
Thanks Karen. I really enjoyed seeing how you work your magic with beads. Your rack of bead tubes is colorful eye candy. Who wouldn't be happy sitting and working with such colors? It was a real treat to get to see a work in progress. Please visit Karen's blog and her Etsy Shop!

"The Godfather" Home, Staten Island, N.Y., Estate of the Day
The outside of this Staten Island, N.Y., English Tudor was used to portray Don Corleone's residence in the classic 1972 film The Godfather. The home is in Staten Island's Todt Hill / Emerson Hill section, known for its large, pretty homes and good-sized lots. This home is surrounded by park-like grounds and inside boasts 12 rooms that comprise 8 bedrooms, 3 full baths, 1 half-bath, 1 three-quarter-bath, 2 fireplaces, and an English pub basement that includes a rec room and a storage room. There's also a living room, formal dining room, den, butler's pantry, and a laundry room with a chute from all three above-ground floors. Need more space? There's also a 4-car garage. For outdoor living, there's an in-ground pool.
This home has some personal meaning for me. I grew up right near it, and the band that played in the opening scene at daughter Connie's wedding played at my parents' wedding. My parents also like to tell the story about how they and some neighbors hung out near the home during the filming one day and were given some cookies, albeit stale, from the wedding scene.
Judging from the photos, the owners didn't bother to hire a professional stager, or even clean up much. The home appears to have good bones but needs needs refreshing and updating. It's listed for $2.9 million with Connie Profaci Realty. Check the link on her site for more photos.
We must thank sharp-eyed reader Caroline R. for telling us about this iconic home for being for sale. She sums it up well: "Considering the house's history it would make an exciting 'Estate of the Day' for the film buff, the gangster aficionado, or a real-life wannabe Don Corleone."

Hung on U Bags: Model-Designed, Charity-Inclined
Supermodel Patti Hansen (Mrs. Keith Richards) and her longtime friend, producer/manager, Molly Madden, loved their matching bags throughout the Studio 54 era. These bags were a part of them having so much fun that they took the idea to designer Debi Koppel, the woman behind DKP Designs, and the three of them collaborated to give these '80s-inspired bags new life as Hung on U bags. The bags are simple yet versatile -- they conform to your body, tie in various knots, and fold for easy travel. The 27-bag collection includes varieties in nylon, denim, glitter (shown), suede, and pony, most in small and large sizes ($35 - $300). Hung on U also does does good while doing well: Proceeds are donated to the Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research Foundation for children's EB, a group of diseases characterized by blister formation after minor trauma to the skin.
NYC Street Vendor Hawks $900 Christmas Trees
Not all the trees are as much as $900. A 12-foot Fraser fir retails for about $400; it's a 17-footer that goes for $900. Lechner claims his clients have been celebrities, a Facebook executive, and SoHo residents. He notes that his prices are high because the trees come to his lot within 96 hours of being cut. But the News reports -- fueling the fire in the battle of the boroughs -- that the same types of trees can be found at a fraction of the price in Brooklyn.
The question that still nags at me is this: Who in New York has space for a 17-foot tree? I mean, obviously not counting the celebs, execs, and SoHo folks. I guess they all own two-floor apartments where the lower-level apartment ceiling has been removed, or the elusive brownstone.
WWD's 100th Anniversary Book
In its 312 pages, the book pays homage to WWD's century of fashion-industry news and daily style coverage from 1910 to the present. Filled with hundreds of stunning photographs and lavish illustrations, one section features designer interviews conducted through the years for WWD including Giorgio Armani, Gabriel "Coco" Chanel, John Galliano, Tommy Hilfiger, Halston, Calvin Klein, Karl Lagerfeld, Ralph Lauren, Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen, Valentino, Gianni Versace, and Diane Von Furstenberg.

AP reported that a father-son sports collectors team from Santa Barbara bought the bat that Kirk Gibson used for his historic home run in the 1988 World Series for $575,912.40 on November 14 in SCP Auctions' October/November auction, and also took home the four other Gibson artifacts on sale. The bid for Gibson's bat is the second-highest amount paid for a game-used bat, behind only Babe Ruth's signed bat used for the first home run at Yankee Stadium, which SCP sold in 2004 for $1.265 million.
Chad and Doug Dreier of the Dreier Group paid $1.19 million for the five items, which included Gibson's home run bat, his game-worn Los Angeles Dodgers jersey ($303,277.20), batting helmet ($153,388.80), NL Most Valuable Player Award ($110,293.20), and World Series trophy ($45,578.40). Proceeds from the sale of the World Series trophy and MVP award will benefit the Kirk Gibson Foundation to continue Gibson's support of Michigan State University athletic programs and to help fund his partial scholarship programs at Clarkston (Michigan) H.S. and Waterford (Michigan) H.S., in honor of his parents, who were educators at those schools.
Other items that found new homes at the auction are a 1934 Babe Ruth professional-model bat used by Ruth to hit career home run No. 702 ($137,865.60), a Ty Cobb H&B side-written professional model game-used bat ($75,330), and a 1953 Mickey Mantle New York Yankees game-worn, autographed road jersey ($62,256).

The 13th Annual New York Chocolate Show
The 13th annual New York Chocolate Show, presented by Event International and running from Thursday, November 11 - Sunday, November 14, at The Metropolitan Pavilion (125 W. 18th St.), is the largest show in the United States completely dedicated to chocolate. Considered the chocolate hub of North America, the show brings together more than 65 fine chocolate companies that will present an array of fine chocolates and chocolate-inspired products that will reach 12,000 consumers, members of the trade, and press.
This year's Chocolate Show will feature book signings by award-winning authors; cooking demonstrations in two culinary theaters featuring renowned chocolatiers and pastry chefs who will share secrets of the trade; a Kid's Zone, presented by Young Chefs Academy; and -- something I'm sorry I missed on the 10th -- a Chocolate Fashion Show.
Founded in 1997 by Sylvie Douce and Franois Jeantet, French entrepreneurs with a passion for chocolate, The Chocolate Show was quickly adopted by New York City as one of its favorite shows, and has become the largest and one of the most popular events devoted to chocolate in the United States. The New York Chocolate Show is one of many international Salon du Chocolat events produced annually by Douce and Jeantet. In 2010, shows were or will be presented in Paris, Tokyo and six cities in Japan, Shanghai, Madrid, Cairo, and Moscow.
The New York show is open this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. and this Sunday till 6 p.m. Get tickets here.

We've all been there, or at least heard the horror stories. The more time the project takes, the more ideas are spawned and the more changes are requested. The reason is usually that the client has seen a website that they like and asks whether their website could be changed completely or at least be given a different feel, with more visual elements, sparkly banners or interactive elements.
The only option is to explain what the changes would cost in time and money and why they might not benefit the project. Our job is to protect the user's interests but also to solve the client's problems, and finding the right balance makes for a website that is both usable and efficient.
Updating clients frequently on the project's progress is also important. It keeps them in the loop, exactly where they want to be: after all, it's their money at work. Also, they will see that you are actually working and earning your fee. And don't be afraid to rein them in. The client might casually mention a feature they saw somewhere else and wonder what it would look like on their website. This gives the project manager a chance to explain why it wouldn't work or discuss how it could be done and how it would affect costs. This prevents the issue from getting tied up in committee meetings and keeps it between the client and the point person, where it can be handled efficiently and quietly. If you wind up in a room of people who the client is either impressed by or is trying to impress, then reasoning with them will be much harder.
If changes are introduced, will the staff need to work 24/7 for weeks to meet the deadline? Remind the client that this will push back the deadline. Don't plead with them that you want to continue working normal 8- to 12-hour days. People hate listening to that. Stand firm, saying that doing the work in the shorter timeframe is physically impossible. And of course your staff will not say anything to the contrary because they have been instructed to direct all communication to the point person.
No doubt the client has a creative friend or nephew who is eager to give feedback on the design. Unfortunately, you cannot explicitly say that their ideas are not based on any reality of this universe. First, listen to what the client is saying, and ask friendly questions. The client's answers will point to the solution.
Say something like, "I can see why you're interested in what your friend is saying, but I think it covers only a small piece of the development puzzle. I think if we stay the course on the project, not only will we end up with a perfect website, but we will avoid cost overruns and launch delays."
It helps to remind the client that every new feature is just that: a new feature, which needs to be integrated into the design and which could call for the requirements to be completely reevaluated. The feature not only might require more resources, but might roll the project back by weeks to accommodate the changes. Whatever happens, steer everyone back on track. This is where a great project manager earns their pay.
As a Web designer once said, scope creep is hard to manage because most clients don't understand how much time "one little change" takes. The designer handles this by dividing the project into short milestones and never discussing a change in scope until a milestone has been reached and fully paid for. It's a great strategy and I fully support the idea, but you might find a mountain of requests waiting at the other end of a milestone.

Westgate Resort Of Gatlinburg smoking mirror sales, Internet
*General Comment: Try this
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
The wife and I bought with westgate about 2 years ago, we were showed a particular cabin and told that we would be purchasing this type cabin. So the wife and I decided to use our beautiful cabin for the week we purchased, thinking what a great time we would have in this cabin this time of the year, the leaves changing color and the coolness of the air. So I called to set up reservations for the seven day week we purchased, we could not get a seven day week only a six day week. I asked why we could not get a seven day week as we have purchased, the lady told me no one gets the seven day week, the extra day was for maintenance and cleanup. I figured no big deal we loose a day, we have been waiting almost two years for this beautiful cabin.
We arrive on the day of check in, greeted wonderfully. As we looked up the mountain we could see the beautiful cabins all the way up the hillside, we were so excited or you might say really antsie to see our beautiful cabin that we have been paying toward for two years.
After check-in our concierge escorted us up the mountain.
Then when we reached our destination, the horror begin. Nothing was as they had told us it would be two years ago. The cabin was not a cabin, but a motel room. The floor plans were different, with some things excluded and some things changed. We had a beautiful window view of the stairwell. Our bedroom window was located in the hallway with people walking up and down the hallway, just like a motel room. No curtains over the window, people could see thru the window if we were in there changing clothes, so we had no privacy. The stove was a cooktop with no oven. Only a shower in the bath area, no jacuzzi tub like we were showed.
We noted our concerns with the concierge and he said he would get us in touch with someone to fix this problem. He got us in touch with someone allright. They were trying to sell us something else, higher price in the exact same place they had showed us two years ago. I told them that I would not do business with liars and cheats. And we finished our six days of horror and spent one night in a beautiful cabin before we came home. I have called and they said they would fix this problem and would call us back but we have heard nothing from them. So if there is anyone out there that has the same problem and would like to hire a legal attorney for a class action suit. Get in touch with me.

Philosophy Football have produced a T-shirt to raise funds for the Orgreave Truth and Justice Campaign. Mark Perryman explains why the Miners Strike 30 years on still matters.
Do you remember 1984-85? Digging deeper for the miners. Frankie Goes to Hollywood at number one. Everton win the league championship. And a medium-sized t-shirt was ample big enough. For those whose principles have endured the test of time it all seems just like yesterday and Tony Blair only a bad dream.
The strike ended up as a defeat, there is no point avoiding that awkward and painful fact. But that doesn't mean it hardly matters, then or now. This was twelve months of communities across Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Kent, the North-East of England, South Wales, Scotland and elsewhere effectively under police siege. Miners Support Groups twinning metropolitan Britain with coalfield towns and villages. Convoys of trucks full of seasonal hampers to brighten up Christmas for miners families' who had already endured 10 months on strike. Women against Pit Closures projecting a powerful message of solidarity on and beyond the strike picket lines. Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners connecting social movements and identity politics to a common cause. Bands and stand-up comedy mobilised to put on benefit after benefit to raise not only much needed funds but the case for the miners too. Keep on keeping on kept on for twelve magnificent months.
Prolonged and courageous. British politics hadn't seen anything quite like it for a generation or more and in terms of industrial action nothing like it since either. In the late 1970s the historian Eric Hobsbawm had provocatively argued for an analysis he called The Forward March of Labour Halted. The decade after the miners strike we were to discover not only had it been halted but it had turned decisively rightwards too. A decade after the miners strike had begun in '84 this process saw Tony Blair elected Labour leader and the symbolic, yet politically significant dumping of Labour's Clause IV commitment to common ownership as its model of society. As we would soon learn, things could only get bitter.

Middleton's number one doubles team of Evan Stone and Griff Plye defeated Sauk Prairie's Cody Mack and Tyler Ballweg in straight sets. Both qualify for state.
Madison West wins the team title at the Badger Sectional.

Searching large movie library
I may have missed something simple here, but with over 800 movies in my collection when I go into my Apple TV and the movie section of my library, is there a way of searching for a title quicker than scrolling up/down through the list?
I know I can toggle between unwatched/watched but would like to be able to bring up a text search and type the title in to search. I hope this makes sense and would appreciate any advice. |

I am disappointed if that's the case but also a little relieved that I have not missed something simple.
I have iPhone and iPad and use those as remotes, so a tech search with keyboard displayed on these devices would be a god send. |

If your 800 movies are purchased from iTunes and are in the cloud locker you can actually use the standard store search and play the ones you own right there from that interface without even going into the purchased tab.
For instance I own all of Peter Jackson's films - I can search the director's name and I have a pretty good idea if I own that title or not.

Does anyone know where each "level" is within the NCIS building? We're thinking (from bottom to top) Autospy, Garage/forensics, Squad Room/Interrogation rooms/MTAC (using the stairs/elevator), Abby's floor but we're not certain about any of this. Can anyone help? Is there a "floor plan" out there somewhere? We'd appreciate any help someone can offer. Thanks.

I want to know what the Ncis bullpell looks like. Like a picture. I know that the desks are near the stairs that lead up to MTAC. And there is a corner by the stairs where the team tells secrets. The bathrooms are near that corner and the elevator by the Bathrooms lead up to the elevator by MTAC. BUT Gibbs "office" (the other elevator) leads to where? where is the interroation room? wheres the snack machine room? how does the team get to abbys lab and duckys morgue? where is the conference room with the big poster signed by all NCIS staff and where upstairs is Vances office

A search of a Todd County home by police last month has resulted in Grand Jury indictments and two arrests.
The Todd County Sheriff's Office executed a search warrant at 808 Long Road June 27 and found an alleged marijuana grow operation. Deputy Tracy White says evidence obtained in the search led to the Todd County Grand Jury indicting 36-year old Brian Borders and 30-year old Tiana Morris on charges of cultivating marijuana, trafficking in marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and endangering the welfare of a minor.
Police arrested Borders and Morris Tuesday and lodged them in the Todd County Jail on $10,000 bond.

Theme Battles
Theme Battles are a weekly event here at Theme Lab, and here's how it works:
For Users
- Every week, two uncoded themes will "battle" for the chance to get coded into a fully functional WordPress theme
- Judging from only screenshots of the designs, visitors can vote once per week for the theme they would most like to see coded into a theme.
- The winning theme will then get hand-coded, by me, into a fully functional WordPress theme, compatible with the latest version of WordPress at the time.
- Once coded, it will be treated like any other free WordPress theme release at Theme Lab, with free support being provided in the forums.
- The losing theme will be released as well, but only in uncoded PSD form. You're free to do whatever you want with this PSD, even code it yourself.
For Designers
Are you a designer who wants to submit your PSD to compete in a theme battle here at Theme Lab? Since the themes here are free, we can't offer any monetary compensation, however it's a great way to get some exposure for your design skills. Here's how it works:
- Get in touch with me through my contact form with a screenshot of your design
- Design doesn't necessarily have to be a blog layout, I can make pretty much anything work as a WordPress theme.
- There should be a comments layout included in the design, including the submit form and threaded comments.
- PSD must be layered and well organized, so it's more efficient for me to code.
- The theme can include a link back to your homepage, and it will include a link to Theme Lab as well.
- If your theme wins, keep in mind the theme will be released under a GPL-compliant license.
There will still be some regular theme releases mixed in that aren't a part of these battles. If you have any other questions, feel free to e-mail me.
