Even as the Bombay High Court on Tuesday dismissed the petition filed by a group of builders challenging the decision to impose VAT on them for flats already sold, the Confederation of Real Estate Developers Association of India (CREDAI) has decided to go ahead with its demand for adopting a simple procedure of charging 1 per cent VAT on their property as per the prevailing norm.
In its recent letters to the state�s chief minister and finance minister, CREDAI has called for the 1 per cent norm to be adopted for the retrospective period between 2006 and 2010. The issue is already pending with the Supreme Court, which had issued an interim order asking that the VAT on properties sold between the said period should be paid by October 31.
Stating that VAT is a legislative matter, the HC said on Tuesday it would not be proper for the court to interfere in the issue. CREDAI refused to comment on the court order.
Its chief Satish Magar said the state government had been asked to adopt a composite VAT policy as per the current applicable rate. �The consumers are uniformly paying 1 per cent tax on the properties purchased after 2010.�
CREDAI director-general Dr D K Abhyankar said as per the existing government policy for the retrospective period, the rate differed from property to property depending on its value. �The rate depends on the value of the property that is worked out by deducting the cost of land from the cost of the sale agreement and the rate ranges between 0.75 per cent and 3 per cent,� said Abhyankar.
Not only is the prevailing lack of clarity on the payment of VAT being objected to by the real estate sector, but the call by some consumer groups asking people not to pay VAT is only likely to hit the government�s recovery process, according to officials.
Vivek Velankar, president of Sajag Nagrik Manch, said nearly 30-50 per cent consumers had not paid VAT as of now after �their awareness on the apex court judgment that it should be paid by

SAMUEL BATEMAN CHAPMAN is the leading lumber merchant at Eskridge, and has been a Kansas business man for a number of years.
This branch of the Chapman family had its original seat in England and Mr. Chapman 's ancestors were colonial settlers in Maryland. His father, Joshua Thomas Chapman, was born on the eastern shore of Maryland in 1817. At the age of seven he accompanied his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joshua Chapman, to Meigs County, Ohio, where the grandfather cleared up a portion of the wilderness and converted it into a farm. He spent the rest of his life in that county. Joshua T. Chapman was reared and married in Meigs County and his active career was spent as a farmer. In the fall of 1865 he removed to Dupont, Indiana, where he continued farming until his death in 1884. He was a republican in politics and a very active supporter of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The maiden name of his wife was Mary Ann Green. She was born in Muskingum County, Ohio, and died at Dupont, Indiana, some years before her husband. A record of their children is as follows: Roxanna and Flora, both deceased; Samuel B.; Catherine, wife of Edward Gaskell, a resident of Dupont, Indiana; Viola, wife of Thomas Rowland, a carpenter and farm owner at Paris, Indiana.
Samuel Bateman Chapman was born in Meigs County, Ohio, September 19, 1845, and secured his early education in the local schools. Before he was nineteen years of age, in May, 1864, he left his father's farm and enlisted in Company H of the One Hundred and Fortieth Ohio Infantry. He was in serving with his regiment until mustered out the following September. He then returned home, and in the fall of 1865 went with his parents to their new farm at Dupont, Indiana. In 1868, Mr. Chapman married and began farming for himself at Dupont, Indiana. For about a year he was also engaged in the heavy labor of hauling saw logs.
Mr. Chapman came to Kansas in 1885, and has since been identified with the Eskridge community. He lived on and was actively employed in the cultivation of his farm of 320 acres two miles east and two miles north of Eskridge until the fall of 1904, when he sold his land and in February, 1905, moved to Eskridge and bought the lumber yard of J. D. McMichael & Company. The yard is located on Main Street, and he still continues business, furnishing lumber and all classes of building material to a large trade over this section of Wabaunsee County. Mr. Chapman owns his home on Main Street and has considerable other local real estate.
In politics he is a republican, and is affiliated with Eminence Lodge No. 205, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, and is present commander of W. H. Earl Post No. 75, Grand Army of the Republic.
By his first marriage Mr. Chapman has two sons: Emmett A., living with his father; and Claude C., who for a number of years was in the lumber business in Idaho and is now in the same business at Los Angeles, California. At Butler's Switch, Indiana, in 1881, Mr. Chapman married for his present wife Miss Dana McNutt. She was born in Switzerland County, Indiana, in 1855. They have three children. Horace Edgar is employed in a lumber yard at Burley, Idaho. Harvey who was educated in the public schools of Eskridge, is assisting his father in the lumber business, and he married Nettie E. Hakes. The youngest child is Nellie V., still at home with her parents.

My daughter had a due date around Christmas and Noelle would have been her middle name if she was born within a few days of Christmas. She was very late and i ended up using a family name instead. I also like the nn Tallie, so Natalia was on the list for a second. Noelle seems more connected to your sister's name. Winter is nice modern name.

lol, she does have a MN (she's Natalie Ruth), but my grandmother is Ruth Mae, so anything based off of Ruth that I come up with always seem to honor my grandmother more than my sister. My grandmother was a great, amazing woman, and I am totally not opposed to honoring her, but I have Liliana Odette Pearl on my top five to honor her (it's kinda a long story, but the Lily part would honor her), and I haven't honored Tallie. So I'd like to honor her if I could.
Besides, I talked to my sisters today about the idea of using a Christmas name for Tallie, and they both seemed to like the idea. Now I just need to find the perfect Christmas name! I really like Charlotte Eden Noelle and Charlotte Eden Winter a lot, but it feels like I'm missing something. I also like Charlotte Eden Felicity, Charlotte Eden Bianca, and Charlotte Eden Seren (but I hate the flow for this!), but not as much as Winter and Noelle.
Any other fabulous Christmas names I've missed? I LOVE the idea of Charlotte Eden Josephine or Charlotte Eden Gabrielle, but they are just too much with my LN (which is 8 letters).Lise

Here is my take you really want Winter and adore Winter. Christmas occurs in Winter! Simply explain to your sister that your intent is to honour her with The middle name Winter. I think its really a very cute name by the way!
The other thought I had was to use Charlotte Winter Noelle, unless of course Eden needs to be in there.
Best of luck!
August 23rd, 2011 08:49 AM #19
I had thought of doing maybe Charlotte Winter Noelle, but that's a lot of Christmas, lol, and I'd originally decided that Eden had to stay. It has religious significance and it has really only been the ONLY name I like coming after Charlotte. I do like Charlotte Winter okay, but I like Charlotte Eden Winter/Charlotte Winter Eden more.

Topic: Samuel Taylor Coleridge
What is romantic about Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poetry?
1 Answer | add yours
First, it is useful to distinguish between the popular 21st century use of "romantic", meaning pertaining to a certain idealized view of sexual relationships, and the literary term "romanticism" which refers to a specific movement in British and European literature in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. A description of Coleridge as a "Romantic" poet refers to his belonging to this literary movement rather than the suitability of his poetry for Valentine's Day cards.
He is typically Romantic in his use of Gothic, exotic, or legendary themes in his work, such as the Orientalism of "Kubla Khan" or the ballad quality of the "Ancient Mariner". As both poet and literary theorist, he shared the typically Romantic concern with the individual creative intellect, and artistic form as expressive rather than conventional. He was interested in art as a striving towards the sublime.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
What's in a Web mail address? If you happen to be firstname.lastname@example.com, for example, will people think you a narcissist? And if they do, will they be right?
Scientists at the University of Leipzig have taken a close look at these questions, and yes, they say, people really do judge others based on the e-mail addresses they choose. What's more interesting, however, is that these judgments tend to be right.
In a research paper (pdf) published recently in the Journal of Research in Personality, the scientists took a look at just under 600 e-mail addresses and had the people who created them fill out a brief personality questionnaire. Then, they asked 100 students to rate these same addresses to find out if the e-mail names seemed to be neurotic, open, agreeable, conscientious, narcissistic or extroverted.
The first thing they discovered is that the students tended to judge people based on their addresses. For example, people who used words like "little" or "sweet" or "baby" combined with cute animal names like "mousie" or "bunny" were thought to be more agreeable ... and neurotic. On the other hand, words like "King" or "thebest" were linked to narcissism.
Even more interesting, these judgments tended to be right in five of the six personality categories they measured.
Openness was the easiest thing to correctly gauge, but when it came to extroversion, the students' assessments tended to miss the mark. Study participants had strong opinions about whether e-mail addresses were owned by extroverts -- they just didn't happen to be particularly accurate.
One of the study's authors says he was surprised by the results. "It is indeed strange that extroversion is the exception because it is the trait [where] you would expect more accuracy," said Mitja Back, a research assistant with the university, in an e-mail interview.
He and his team are running another study to see if they get the same results, he said.
Still, the researchers say it's astonishing that the sliver of information that you pass on in your e-mail address can be enough for people to get a valid read on your personality.
So what if you don't want people to judge you based on your Gmail account? Are there discreet words that you can use to hide behind?
No way, say the researchers. Even if you choose a totally neutral address, you're still giving away information about yourself.
Their advice is simple: Choose an address you like. After all, is it really such a bad thing for others to see you the way you are?
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

I'd offer and if he accepts, deal him at the deadline if Mes is ready. Somebody's bound to be looking for a catcher by July. Might pick up a decent lower level young'un.
May be too much to ask, but it would be nice if Devin's transition to the show is fairly smooth and he can add a pwoer boost to the lineup the second half. If this team stands pat5, the lineup will be in need of serious help when Gomes hits one of his skids and Rolen's boddy starts to casue him more and more problems aroud Aug. 1.

If the Reds offer arbitration, no other team will sign Ramon and give up two picks. Hernandez still has value to the team because he can communicate well with Cueto, Volquez and Chapman. I don't see the Reds cutting him loose unless they feel like they can negotiate a lesser deal for him.
Cueto and Volquez do speak english.... Chapman on the other hand most likely is still learning. Do you keep Ramon around for one guy, that may start out in AAA. Not sure if this really factors into bringing him back.
I believe Hanigan speaks Spanish.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and venture a guess that somewhere along the line, Mes has caught a primiraly spanish speaking pitcher at some point. Its not like he's going out to the mound to discuss politics or the latest breakfast cereal. "keep the ball down", "throw this guy inside", "keep the ball away", "set him up with heat, then finish him off w/ something breaking" all probably translate pretty easy b/w catcher/pitcher in any language.
Speaking spanish is certainly a plus for hernandez, but on the list of priorities of deciding if you should bring him back next season or not, its got rank pretty low.
Also, don't underestimate a Spanish-speaking baseball player's ability to understand baseball English. I'd venture that a lot of the younger Dominican players in the system can speak English better than many American, 'Spanish-speaking' catchers.

Hernandez's option is $3.25M. It was vesting option with 120 games played, but he missed that, so it's solely the Reds option.

Well, my first working day at SMART is almost over. 4 minutes and 35 seconds to the stipulated end-of-work-day. But who's counting? So far, it's been interesting — met the friendly folks here and saw the cool toys (autonomous vehicles). I'm one of the "early birds" and managed to land a desk with a great view of the NUS campus. That said, I might move down to "The Garage" where all the robots/machines are. Hopefully, I'll sort out all my administration stuff soon and get on to playing working with the vehicles and some new learning methods I have in mind.
Learning Assistance by Demonstration
It's been a while since my last post. Excuse: thesis write-up. Update: Thesis submitted!
In other news, our recent work on Learning Assistance by Demonstration was accepted this year's IROS! It'll be a fun and interesting conference in Tokyo, Japan! You can find a preprint here.
Abstract: Crafting a proper assistance policy is a difficult endeavour but essential for the development of robotic assistants. Indeed, assistance is a complex issue that depends not only on the task-at-hand, but also on the state of the user, environment and competing objectives. As a way forward, this paper proposes learning the task of assistance through observation; an approach we term Learning Assistance by Demonstration (LAD). Our methodology is a subclass of Learning-by-Demonstration (LbD), yet directly addresses difficult issues associated with proper assistance such as when and how to appropriately assist. To learn assistive policies, we develop a probabilistic model that explicitly captures these elements and provide efficient, online, training methods. Experimental results on smart mobility assistance — using both simulation and a real-world smart wheelchair platform — demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach; the LAD model quickly learns when to assist (achieving an AUC score of 0.95 after only one demonstration) and improves with additional examples. Results show that this translates into better task-performance; our LAD-enabled smart wheelchair improved participant driving performance (measured in lap seconds) by 20.6s (a speedup of 137%), after a single teacher demonstration.
Going back in time…

Reading Data on YARP with Python
YARP is another robot development platform, similar to ROS. I had to code up a simple data reader in Python (operating over YARP ports) and couldn't find any good examples. After some experimenting, I found a solution that worked for me. The following is a simple code snippet for other YARP Python newbies:
class ExampleReader: def __init__(self): #create a new input port and open it self.in_port = yarp.BufferedPortBottle() self.in_port.open("/example/data:i") #connect up the output port to our input port yarp.Network.connect("/example/data:o", "/example/data:i") return def getData(self): #in this example, I assume the data is a single integer #we use read() where the parameter determines if it is #blocking (True) or not. btl = self.in_port.read(True) my_data = btl.get(0).asInt() #if you have doubles, you can use asDouble() #or strings can be obtained using asString() return my_data
Rebuilding libstdcxx using macports on Mountain Lion
I did the unthinkable and upgraded my OS (in my final year of my PhD!). And surprise-surprise, some of my code wouldn't compile anymore. I figured I needed to rebuild my macports-installed *nix software but ran into problems with gcc45 and libstdcxx. The issue is a ld64 bug, that was fixed using user adrian's solution (replicated here):
sudo port uninstall ld64 sudo port -v install ld64 sudo port clean libstdcxx sudo port -d build libstdcxx build.jobs=1 sudo port install libstdcxx
ARTY IROS Workshop Paper
Just got news that our paper on the ARTY smart paediatric wheelchair was accepted to the IROS 2012 Workshop on Progress, Challenges and Future Perspectives in Navigation and Manipulation Assistance for Robotic Wheelchairs.
Abstract: Standard powered wheelchairs are still heavily dependent on the cognitive capabilities of users. Unfortunately, this excludes disabled users who lack the required problem-solving and spatial skills, particularly young children. For these children to be denied powered mobility is a crucial set-back; exploration is important for their cognitive, emotional and psychosocial development. In this paper, we present a safer paediatric wheelchair: the Assistive Robot Transport for Youngsters (ARTY). The fundamental goal of this research is to provide a key-enabling technology to young children who would otherwise be unable to navigate independently in their environment. In addition to the technical details of our smart wheelchair, we present user-trials with able-bodied individuals as well as one 5-year-old child with special needs. ARTY promises to provide young children with "early access" to the path towards mobility independence.

Wza: a new structural paradigm for outer membrane secretory proteins?
Trends in Microbiology, Volume 15, Issue 3, 1 March 2007, Pages 96-100
Richard F. Collins and Jeremy P. Derrick
AbstractGram-negative bacteria need to be able to transport a large variety of macromolecules across their outer membranes. In Escherichia coli, the passage of the group 1 capsular polysaccharide is mediated by an integral outer membrane protein, Wza. The crystal structure of Wza, determined recently, reveals a novel transmembrane α-helical barrel and a large central cavity within the core of the vase-shaped protein complex. The structure has similarities with that of the secretin protein, PilQ, which mediates the transition of type IV pili across the outer membrane. We propose that the large internal chamber, which can accommodate the secreted assembled macromolecule, is likely to be a common feature found in other outer membrane proteins involved in secretion processes.

Mucosal Reactive Oxygen Species Decrease Virulence by Disrupting Campylobacter jejuni Phosphotyrosine Signaling
Cell Host & Microbe, Volume 12, Issue 1, 19 July 2012, Pages 47-59
Nicolae Corcionivoschi, Luis A.J. Alvarez, Thomas H. Sharp, Monika Strengert, Abofu Alemka, Judith Mantell, Paul Verkade, Ulla G. Knaus and Billy Bourke
SummaryReactive oxygen species (ROS) play key roles in mucosal defense, yet how they are induced and the consequences for pathogens are unclear. We report that ROS generated by epithelial NADPH oxidases (Nox1/Duox2) during Campylobacter jejuni infection impair bacterial capsule formation and virulence by altering bacterial signal transduction. Upon C. jejuni invasion, ROS released from the intestinal mucosa inhibit the bacterial phosphotyrosine network that is regulated by the outer-membrane tyrosine kinase Cjtk (Cj1170/OMP50). ROS-mediated Cjtk inactivation results in an overall decrease in the phosphorylation of C. jejuni outer-membrane/periplasmic proteins, including UDP-GlcNAc/Glc 4-epimerase (Gne), an enzyme required for N-glycosylation and capsule formation. Cjtk positively regulates Gne by phosphorylating an active site tyrosine, while loss of Cjtk or ROS treatment inhibits Gne activity, causing altered polysaccharide synthesis. Thus, epithelial NADPH oxidases are an early antibacterial defense system in the intestinal mucosa that modifies virulence by disrupting bacterial signaling.

• Wzi is an 18-stranded β-barrel outer-membrane protein• Wzi has a unique N-terminal helical domain and novel extracellular loops• In vivo data show that extracellular loops are required for capsule formation• In vitro data show that these loops are required to bind K30 polymer
- Many pathogenic bacteria encase themselves in a polysaccharide capsule that provides a barrier to the physical and immunological challenges of the host. The mechanism by which the capsule assembles around the bacterial cell is unknown. Wzi, an integral outer-membrane protein from Escherichia coli, has been implicated in the formation of group 1 capsules. The 2.6 Å resolution structure of Wzi reveals an 18-stranded β-barrel fold with a novel arrangement of long extracellular loops that blocks the extracellular entrance and a helical bundle that plugs the periplasmic end. Mutagenesis shows that specific extracellular loops are required for in vivo capsule assembly. The data show that Wzi binds the K30 carbohydrate polymer and, crucially, that mutants functionally deficient in vivo show no binding to K30 polymer in vitro. We conclude that Wzi is a novel outer-membrane lectin that assists in the formation of the bacterial capsule via direct interaction with capsular polysaccharides.

Unknown freedom fighters finally get their due
US-based NGO chronicles heroes of the Indian independence movement who are still alive but were consigned to oblivion
US-based NGO chronicles heroes of the Indian independence movement who are still alive but were consigned to oblivion
We have heard of the great heroes of the Indian freedom struggle, like Gandhi, Nehru and Bose. But, there were countless others alongside them -- still alive -- who were left out of the narrative of the grand Indian fight for freedom.
Now, a US-based NGO has taken the initiative to bring forth these undocumented names. The NGO, Arise Free India, will interview over one lakh freedom fighters who have contributed to the Indian freedom struggle but whose feats haven't made it to the archives of modern Indian history.
Smita Shah, a member of the NGO, said, "There are thousands of freedom fighters who bravely fought for the country but have not been awarded or acknowledged all these years. We are interviewing them for an hour to know all about their sacrifices."
The ambitious project started in January this year and will be completed by January 2012, Shah added.
Later, the interviews will be compiled to make a documentary, to educate the younger generation and the masses about these freedom fighters.
"We are also in the process of talking to universities and other educational institutions about our theme. Students can take up this task as their research project and contribute," added Shah.
Great sacrifices
Till date, around 40 freedom fighters have been interviewed. Among those who are being interviewed are industrialist B K Birla and his wife Sarla, author-activist Chandrashekhar Dharma-dhikari, and many more. The NGO hopes to reach at least 10,000 more before 2012.
"Out of the 40 we have interviewed, few passed away in the last six months or so. It pinches me that some of them are living in villages and don't have access to even a telephone," said Shah.
Chairperson of the NGO, Deepak Parekh, said, "Everyone knows what Mahatma Gandhi, Pt Nehru and other famous leaders have done. They are well documented. Through the efforts of Arise Free India, we hope to remind all Indians of these others and the glory of their sacrifice."

McALESTER —
As Philip Bauer stood on an outdoor stage in McAlester's Old Town, he raised the neck of his black guitar upward and sang those classic Johnny Cash lines " I hear the train a-comin'; it's rolling round the bend."
Right on cue, a Union Pacific locomotive with its whistle blasting rumbled by on the railroad tracks behind him.
It marked a fitting introduction to Bauer and his tribute concert to the Man in Black during the Old Town Wild West Festival held in McAlester on Saturday.
Dressed in a long, black coat, black shirt and black boots, Bauer captured the Cash look. Beyond the physical resemblance though, Bauer also convincingly replicated Cash's deep baritone and on-stage mannerisms.
Intermittent rain showers from time-to-time during Bauer's performance didn't dampen the ardor of Cash fans who lined the sidewalks of Old Town. Some stood in the street, which had been blocked off for the occasion, while others dashed under tents when the skies opened.
The rain didn't stop Bauer and his band, who played on the covered outdoor stage borrowed from the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant.
Some Cash fans didn't let the rain deter them either, including a few who continued dancing in the street while the band played, rain or no rain.
During his performance, Bauer deftly handled one particularly vocal group of festival-goers who set up a yell for "Ring of Fire' after every song.
"We'll get to it," Bauer said — end of discussion. Bauer did get to "Ring of Fire." It would be the last song he played.
In between "Folsom Prison Blues" and "Ring of Fire," Bauer served up a platter of some of Cash's greatest songs, songs which have become an integral part of American music history.
Bauer's backing band did an admirable job of recreating the "boom-chicka-boom" sound of Cash's band, known as the Tennessee Three. While Cash had lead guitarist Luther Perkins, bassist Marshall Grant and drummer W.S. Holland in his classic line-up, Bauer featured Kenny Anderson, Norman Cochran, and Gary Bryan filling in on the respective instruments.
They delivered a particularly fiery take on Cash's 1958 song "Big River," about a man following a wandering woman down the length of the Mississippi.
Bauer called for some audience participation on the Shel Silverstein-penned number "A Boy Named Sue," about a man trying to track down the absentee father who gave him a girl's name. He had the audience give a shout-out on "Sue!" and a couple of other key words.
Bauer stayed in character as Cash during his entire time on-stage, tell the festival-goers that "A Boy Named Sue" was "the craziest song I ever recorded." He also told them how "he" used to go to a record store in Memphis called Home of the Blues, that later became the title of one his songs.
Along with other Sun Records favorites such as the enduring "I Walk the Line" and "Give My Love to Rose," Bauer also sang songs from later in Cash's career after he moved to the much larger Columbia record label.
For those too young to remember, Bauer performed "Man in Black," relating the reasons Cash dressed in black for his stage performances.
"I wear the black for the poor and beaten down, living in the hopeless, hungry side of town," Bauer sang, striding the length of the stage with his microphone in his hand, this time using the guitar's strap to hold it on his back, sort of like a backpack.
Bauer also delivered a soulful version of "Sunday Morning Coming Down," which he said had been "written by my friend Kris Kristofferson." He told how Kristofferson, an unknown songwriter at the time, had delivered a tape of the song to Cash's house by piloting and landing a helicopter on Cash's lawn.
"Here's another train song," Bauer said, as he and the band ripped into the anthematic "Hey Porter," about a man returning by train to the south after spending some time up north.
Bauer didn't perform any songs from later in Cash's career, such as his outstanding American Records recordings done for producer Rick Rubin, beginning in the 1990s. Those albums led to another career resurgence for Cash after he'd been dropped from his record label in Nashville
That's OK, though. Bauer's portrayal of Cash focuses in on the classic Cash of the 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s, the era of many of his greatest songs, first for the Memphis-based Sun Records label, then for Columbia.
He even tossed in a few relatively obscure chestnuts, such as "A Thing Called Love."
Bauer and his band took a break midway through his 90-minute set, pausing during a gunfight re-enactment, also part of the Wild West Festival.
As guns boomed during the re-enactment, a female cast member yelled a line that could have come from a Cash song: "You shot my man!"
Like Cash, Bauer's tribute performance drew listeners of all types and ages. He even honored a request from one woman to sing "Folsom Prison Blues" again, because she'd missed his opening number.
"I already played that darlin'; where were you?" Bauer asked. He decided to honor her request though, which left her literally jumping up and down in the street with excitement as Bauer and the band tore into the song's unforgettable intro.
She couldn't have appeared happier if she'd heard the rendition from Cash himself.

A date with nature - peregrine falcons at Malham Cove, 2014
The peregrine falcon is one of the most impressive birds of prey in the country and we are very fortunate that they have nested at Malham Cove in the Yorkshire Dales National Park since 1993.
The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) and the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority (YDNPA) run a viewpoint so that you can see these wonderful birds along with many other birds that are characteristic of this upland area.
It's all part of the RSPB's 'A date with nature' project that gives people chance to get close to birds. So why not find out more by exploring these pages and make your date with nature?
The viewpoint is open, weather permitting, every Saturday to Wednesday (closed Thursday and Friday) from 5 April to 3 August 2014. On these days wardens will be present from 10.30am until 4.30pm.
Come and see us and the peregrines!
All the information you will need to get to the peregrine falcon viewpoint - where it is, how to get to Malham Cove, what to expect and much, much more.
Is it just about the peregrine falcons?
Although the peregrine falcons are the main feature, there are plenty of other bird species to see at Malham Cove, not to mention other wildlife! Find out more about what else you can see here.

Now this is a mess, those who are under the area governed by the the state insurance commissioner were granted a smaller increase; however the HMO policy holders are not that lucky and will get a larger increase and see larger co-pays and higher deductibles. So now it appears to be tied up with bureaucracy on what type of plan one has. It was in the news of late that the increase would be smaller for the group under the regulatory jurisdiction of the insurance commissioner. There's also the pending DOJ investigation about contracts made directly with hospitals but California was not named here. The consumer watchdog has called upon Governor Jerry Brown to intervene for some type of decision and merge the two regulatory agencies together. Anthem states they lost money on their HMO business and thus the reason for higher increases for premiums in that area. This is confusing to say the least and it comes down to those algorithmic reports to substantiate where they need money I guess. The whole idea of insurance is to spread the cost over a large group and by having the HMO consumers separated from the PPO group under the insurance commissioner doesn't make sense as the cost does not get spread over a larger group. By using business intelligence software (algorithms) they isolate their money losing areas and pass along the higher increases to that group only. The company also has some big Medicare contracts where they process claims where lawmakers are finally looking at this process as with all the mergers and acquisitions that have occurred in the last couple of years, there's some joint efforts with subsidiaries working together for more profits, in other words Health IT contracts that conflict with other areas of claim settlements with no incentives to fight fraud as if too many are removed as fraud, the transaction numbers may drop.

The giant hungry creature seen here is of course a Duplo shark, which, as you see, fits pretty well as part of this violent and bloody scene.

Harrington Park woman charged in drug raid during probe of actor Philip Seymour Hoffman's death
A 22-year-old Harrington Park woman appeared to be swept up this week in the widening investigation into the death of the actor Philip Seymour Hoffman. But her attorney said Thursday that she has become "collateral damage" in a high-profile case in which she has no involvement.
Juliana Luchkiw, the daughter of a prominent Bergen County attorney, was released on her own recognizance on a misdemeanor drug possession charge on Thursday, said the attorney, Stephen Turano.
Before she and her boyfriend were arrested Tuesday night at the Manhattan apartment they share, Turano said, Luchkiw had been following news accounts of Hoffman's death from an apparent heroin overdose like everybody else.
"She's shocked that she's involved," Turano said in a telephone interview on Thursday. "She is absolutely, utterly collateral damage in this investigation."
Luchkiw, a fine arts college student, is one of three people charged with drug-related offenses following a Tuesday night raid of a building on Mott Street as the police seemed to be broadening their investigation into the death of Hoffman, a 46-year-old Academy Award winning actor found dead Sunday with a needle in his arm in his West Village apartment.

She and her boyfriend, Max Rosenblum, a 22-year-old club disc jockey, were charged with misdemeanor drug possession after a "small amount of cocaine" was found in their apartment, Turano said. They pleaded not guilty in separate hearings Thursday. Rosenblum previously failed to appear in court on a 2010 drug possession charge and was released Thursday after posting a $35,000 bond, according to a CNN report.
A man who lives in the same building, Robert Vineberg, 57, has been charged with felony drug possession with the intent to sell after the police reportedly found a large quantity of heroin in his apartment.
Turano said he did not know why the police had searched his client's apartment. The police reportedly were led to the building by an informer. Vineberg had Hoffman's phone number stored in his cell phone, CNN has reported. However, according to several reports, the heroin found in Vineberg's apartment was not the same "Ace of Spades" brand found in Hoffman's apartment.

Mark Your Calendars! Annual Hydro-Force Injection Sprayer Sale March 1 – April 31 - 2012 Get the best deal of the year on the industry's best-selling injection sprayer. Every once in a while, an idea comes along that revolutionizes an industry. The Hydro-Force Injection Sprayer did just that over 30 years ago when it was developed to dramatically improve how a technician applied chemical solutions. The injection system allowed a technician to apply chemical faster and more evenly than pump-up sprayers, decreasing the time it took to complete a job and improving the quality of their cleaning. With over 30 years of engineering and testing, the Hydro-Force Injection Sprayers have proven to be the most durable and trusted injection sprayer in the world. Video URL: http://interlinksupply.com/showvid.html?video=2&item_num=AS08
Re: Annual Hydro-Force Injection Sprayer Sale That's cool, will there be other products also? I unfortunately just bought another hydroForce but would like a new wide mouth side load jug for my old one.
Our prices for the three different models are $104, $134, $169. This is about $20 to $30 off the usual pricing. All distributors who carry Hydro-Force products are getting specials deals. Each independent distributor sets their own pricing. So, There may be an even better deal out there. I always suggest buying from your local distributor when possible.
anyway sells these in canada? my cheap plastic wand just broke if i can 1 shipped from the us i be willing to pay extra for shipping to save from spending more in canada haha
I think there are 3 or 4 distributors in Ontario who carry the Hydro Force sprayers. There is Fournitures Selecte (I spell worse in French than I do in English) and also Fiber Clean. I have a number fro Fiber Clean 403 250-1786. Talk to Rick or Kathy. If you don't find a convenient supplier, contact me directly and I will arrange shipping it to Canada.
thanks scott i just bought one from the hardware store got it for free kinda i found a gift card only paid 10.00 its a pump spray but worked out well on my last job till i get extra money from my business i spend the money towards it!

How Proust Can Change Your Lifeby Alain de Botton
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:'What a marvellous book this is . . . de Botton dissects what Proust] had to say about friendship, reading, looking carefully, paying attention taking your time, being alive and adds his own delicious commentary. The result is an intoxicating as it is wise, amusing as well as stimulating, and presented in so fresh a fashion as to be unique . . . I could not stop, and now much start all over again.' Brian Masters, Mail on Sunday
'De Botton not only has a complete understanding of Proust's life . . . but what is particularly charming about this small, readable book is its tongue-in-cheek benignity, its lightly held erudition and its generous way of lending itself to what is not only the greatest book of the century but also the darkest and the most eccentric' Edmund White, Observer 'It contains more human interest and play of fancy than most fiction . . . de Botton, in emphasizing Proust's healing, advisory aspects, does us the service of rereading him on our behalf, providing of that vast sacred lake a sweet and lucid distillation.' John Updike, New Yorker 'De Botton's little book is so charming, amusing and sensible that it may even itself change your life.' Allan Massie, Daily Telegraph 'This engaging book is one of the most entertaining pieces of literary criticism I have read in a long while.' Sunday Telegraph 'A very enjoyable book' Sebastian Faulks Review:"It's a real pleasure to read someone who treats this sacrosanct subject as something that is still vital and vigorous." Publishers Weekly
Review:"[A] delightfully original work of literary criticism.... By characterizing In Search of Lost Time with amusing superficiality, he has succeeded in showing us some of the novel's greatest depths." Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times Book Review
Review:"Funny and very refreshing." San Francisco Chronicle
Review:"Curious, humorous, didactic and dazzling.... It contains more human interest and play of fancy than most fiction." The New Yorker
Review:"Erudite....After reading de Botton's book, one will savor Proust with fresh wonder and gratitude." The Washington Post
Review:"A lively, original guide to living, and... an engaging introduction to the life and letters of one of the century's most interesting fictional thinkers... literary criticism wearing its slyest disguise since Julian Barnes's Flaubert's Parrot." Cleveland Plain Dealer
Review:"One of my favorite books of the year.... Seriously cheeky, cheekily serious." Julian Barnes
Review:"A witty, elegant book that helps us learn what reading is for." Doris Lessing
Synopsis:Marcel Proust, author of In Search of Lost Time, one of the longest novels of the twentieth century, was an authority on how to live a richer, happier, more successful life - although rarely happy himself. The author gives an affectionate view of the brilliant and often bizarre novelist, and an interpretation of his novel. New paperback edition.
Synopsis:A hilarious, utterly unexpected, and unexpectedly practical joining of genres — literary biography, explication of text, and self-help manual.
Alain de Botton's three novels (all published since 1993) have received rapturous praise from critics and writers alike, but nothing he has done before has prepared us for this, his first work of nonfiction. Who would have thought that Marcel Proust — one of the twentieth century's acknowledged literary masters and great eccentrics-would have had such acute insight into subjects ranging from vacations and the importance of being a good host to sex on the first date (he's against it) and recognizing true love. It took de Botton to find the inspirational in Proust's essays, letters, and fiction and, perhaps even more surprising, to draw out a vivid and clarifying portrait of the master from between the lines of his work. Here is Proust as we have never seen or read him before: with an intelligent, uniquely witty, and always tasteful '90s makeover. About the AuthorAlain de Botton was born in 1969. He is the author of the novels On Love, The Romantic Movement, and Kiss and Tell; his work has been translated into sixteen languages. He lives in Washington, D.C., and London.

The arrival of the Explorers!
Europeans arrived in Belmont in the late 1700s. Upon arrival, the Spanish explorers found Native Americans who supported themselves by working both the land and the sea.
The canyon portion of Belmont was christened: Canada de San Augustin in the early 1780s by the Spanish missionaries. Prior to that time, the canyon was initially dubbed "la Canada del Diablo" or Devil's Canyon. There are a number of possible explanations for the latter term, ranging from difficulty of travel in the area to allegations of evil spirits or satanic rituals. In any case, Belmont's beginnings can be traced to this canyon as it was a well traveled route until the middle of the 19th Century.
The Spanish exploration of the area meant the native Americans lives would never be the same as colonization began in the later part of the 18th Century.

Paul Tracy: Dead or Canadian?
Well he's not dead. And he's back behind the wheel. The aging would-be winner of the controversial 2002 Indy 500 will, ironically, drive for Tony George's Vision Racing team for at least one race. It sounds like he'll drive at his home race in Edmonton and anything else will depend on his ability to not kill the other drivers. Also, you gotta love the weird Canadian music.

Source: Vatican Insider Hagia Sophia in Nicea, where the Seventh Ecumenical Council was held in 787, is about to be declared a mosque by the Turkish authorities. As the Turkish press reports, the call to prayer was sung from the Muezzin last Thursday, for the first time since the founding of the Turkish Republish in 1923. The minaret was added to the church in the city that the Turks called "Iznik" in the Ottoman age. Last year it was restored. With the prayer to be said at the beginning of the Islamic feast of sacrifice on Sunday morning, the former church will be ready for Islamic religious ceremonies. The decision by the office of the Administrative Council, the competent authority, has sparked fierce debate. Selcuk Mülayim, of the University of Marmara, an art historian, underlined the building's importance in the history of Christianity and warned that the move would mark the beginning of protests from all over the world. Iznik's chamber of commerce criticized the … [Read more...]

The plunder not only served as a source of income for criminals in North Cyprus and shady antiquity dealers, it was also an act to eradicate the memory of Cyprus as a Christian country for almost two millenia.

Patsourakos: Turkey Must End Its Control of Northern Cyprus
George Patsourakos, commentator on the AOI blog and editor of the Theology and Society blog, argues Turkey must end its occupation of Cyprus. Source: Theology and Society For the first time since Turkey invaded the island of Cyprus in 1974, it was revealed by a former Turkish general this week that Turks secretly and intentionally burned down at least one mosque on the island at that time, in order to encourage Turks to be more aggressive in fighting Greeks.Retired Turkish General Sabri Yirmibesoglu -- speaking in an interview about military strategy on Turkey's Haberturk TV channel -- admitted that Turks burned (at least) a mosque to increase animosity toward Greeks in Cyprus.

The Times, They Are a-Changing
Victor Davis Hanson's brief synopsis below also affects Constantinople and may help explain why it is so anxious to direct the American Church. The Corner At the present rate, Turkey has about as much business in NATO as Greece does in the EU. Both countries seem out of place in their respective organizations; both envy and resent northern Europe and the United States, and seek their attention through petulance; and both seem to traffic daily in conspiracy theories about going to war against each other. The problem with both the EU and NATO is that, while there is always much gala celebration about who gets in and under what particular conditions, there is almost no attention given to the circumstances under which a member gets out of either organization. That will change in the next few years, given southern European debt, growing Islamization, and the apparent planned financial and military regression of the West. In the meantime, we should pay attention to a growing … [Read more...]
Orthodoxy and Hellenism group cites Islamic charter in defense of Patriarchate
An unsigned "call to action" in defense of the Ecumenical Patriarchate was published today on the "Faith: An Endowment for Orthodoxy and Hellenism" Web site. This appeal asks readers to sign a Web-based petition which demands that the "Turkish government ... take steps to guarantee the recognition, safety, and protection of His All Holiness, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, the Patriarchate, the Seminary of Halki, and the ethnic minority of Greek Christians living in Turkey." The "call to action" placed the weight of its argument for religious freedom and human rights on a "Charter of Privileges to Christians" purported to have been signed by Muhammad, the founder of Islam, in the 7th Century. The "call to action" described this charter as emblematic of the "established universal position" of human rights that also inspired the U.S. Constitution. The appeal: To those who were privileged enough to see the, CBS 60 Minutes story about His All Holiness, Ecumenical Patriarch … [Read more...]

Go 400 all the way!!! I've done both the 350 and 400 as far as stock small blocks go, 400's are the best for torque. |
I'm assuming this is for a street car, right? Well, as the ol' adage goes, "there's no replacement for displacement".
What condition is the 350 and 400 in? Is the 400 punched .030 over or is it still a stock bore? |
just make sure the 400 isn't more than .030" over and that when they bore/hone it they use a torque plate- its especially important on these engines. Other than that vortec heads are a great low buck head for great streetable torque, dual plane manifold, and I wouldn't go over 230º dur @.050" on the intake- you'll get mor epower if you do but it become less street friendly. And remember to get good pistons with a reverse dome not just a dish. Those tips should get you well on your way.
Well, the 350 has been torn down for about 6 months and is still in pieces as far as i could tell it seemed to be in good condition. As for the 400 have have yet to look at it because it was in the back of the shop piled in some junk. I'm going to look at it thursday it's torn down to the short block, anything a should look for?
The is for a occasional drive in the summer, it's a basic package camaro and we'd like to put more of a engine compared to the 305. I don't know.. hopefully it hasn't been rebuilt before. |
How come the torque plate needs to be used? Can anybody recommend a good machine shop in central ontario? |
Due to the clamping forces of head bolts or studs, it distorts the cylinder.
Thus, if you have a torque plate on when you hone, it distorts the cylinder in a consistent fashion as if you had the cylinder head bolted down. Some shops even torque down the mains when they hone. |
This is easy 400 for sure! make a nice lil 406 with some longer rods 6" would be perfect great piston quench and get you a good set of free flowing heads hold on. way fun
I'd shoot for 500/500 with some good aftermarket heads or well setup Vortecs. I think CarCraft did a 500 ftlb 400 with Vortecs, I'm sure it was a little inflated but it gives you a great outline of what works.
I don't really know what kind of hp/torque i want. 500/500 sounds good, but i'm on a budget to. I want to be able to burn tires from a stand still if a stand on it. if that explains it.. lol what kind of transmisson would i be into with this much torque? standard and automatic.
Should i buy used or new vortec head? 480 for a pair from gm performance |
I highly recomend you buy "new GM vortec heads" over a used set. $480 ($Can$) is a good price for new assembled "062" vortecs. Is that priced at a GM parts dealer? They will need a few further performance mods and upgrades but work very very well. You can build a real tire burner with these heads on either a 350 or 400 based motor. I'd lean towards a basic rebuilt flat top piston 350 (with vortec heads) if you're on a budget. Will your build up include a high stall converter and a rear gear swap? I have a simple 350 vortec headed street combo (that really burns the tires) Uses new GM vortec heads with simple mods, a cool sounding Isky Hyd cam a Hi rise dual plane "RPM" manifold, 750carb and headers. Requires a "3500 stall" 10" converter and 4.10 gears for best results in a 79 Camaro. The beauti of the combo is the simplicity and low cost/hp. You'll definaly be burning the tires off your Camaro This is what it sounds like At Idle Last edited by F-BIRD'88; 12-10-2008 at 11:46 AM. |
