Of course, in 2050, the use of fuel should have been considerably reduced.EVs are the future: http://clean-energy-blog.gnarum.com/etiquette-electric-car/
MORE than half the world's oil supply is used for transport, and three-quarters of the energy used in transport is spent on the road, according to a new report by the International Energy Agency (IEA). But without new policies to spur efficiency, the amount of fuel used for road transport will double by 2050, with severe implications for carbon-dioxide (CO2) emissions. Most of the technologies needed to improve fuel economy are already available and cost-effective, so what is needed are policies that steer businesses and consumers in the right direction. Fuel taxes, CO2-based vehicle taxes, fuel-economy standards and better product labelling are the four key policies recommended by the IEA. To judge the extent to which countries have adopted these, the IEA has created a fuel-economy readiness index (see map). Most rich countries, especially in Europe and Japan, already have the right policies in place, whereas in North America there is still room for improvement. The worst offenders are major oil-producing countries like Saudi Arabia and Venezuela, which encourage wasteful fuel use through subsidies.

We are mindful this time of year of the members of veterans and other organizations who volunteer their time to try to ensure that the graves of military veterans in cemeteries throughout our region are decorated with an American flag for Memorial Day.
This is a huge undertaking.
Chautauqua and Cattaraugus counties each have about 80 cemeteries. They range in size from the expansive Lake View Cemetery in Jamestown, to the tiny Hatch Cemetery in Busti.
Each one is equally important as we make an effort to memorialize not only those who died for their country, but those who also served. Lake View has a formal Soldier's Circle. Hatch Cemetery is an ancient burying ground with many headstones that are falling apart or utterly unreadable.
Two Revolutionary War patriots are buried there.
Come Monday, after formal programs are concluded and everyone has left, you may hear in the distance the crack of rifles firing three volleys. You will know it is one of the honor guards from veterans organizations that will fan out across the area to visit those small, out-of-way cemeteries where fallen soldiers are interred. They will travel in caravans of two or three cars and park along the side of the road at cemeteries that no long even have driveways.
They will get out of their cars, don the hats that complete their veteran uniforms and line up in formation as best they remember from their own military days.
Then they will fire three volleys that punctuate our nation's continuing reverence for those who fought and died and those who served when our country needed them.

"What I Have Been Doing Lately" is a brief and unsettling story, and it is also a memorable fantasy. It raises questions about the nature of reality. Even though we go through regular and almost ritualistic activities, are they real? In the world Kincaid creates, visitors ring doorbells and then vanish; the narrator begins a journey but does not go anywhere; she sees the planet Venus while walking north (perhaps suggesting that the story is set in the southern hemisphere?); on close inspection, distant beauty does not sustain itself; loved ones do not remain or else they are unreal, leaving one sad and bereft with no alternative but to repeat the same regular routines. A reader can be reminded of the person who wakes from dreaming while he is doing something, and now doesn't know if he is a man dreaming about doing somethingtor the something is dreaming about him

One of Poe's important themes of "The Tell-Tale Heart" is the theme of guilt. In the story, the madman kills another man and his guilt drives him even madder. The murderer, also the narrator, admits that he killed his victim and seems to be at peace with his decision. However, his guilt soon surfaces. Though the dead man is clearly deceased, the mad man continues to hear his heart beat. To him, the beating heart is so loud that eventually he is forced to confess and shouts his guilt to the police. Just as hearing the heartbeat drives the man to confess. Poe uses the theme of guilt throughout his short story.

Although this novel has many themes, I believe the main theme to be the conflict between the economic classes. There are two rival gangs at work within The Outsiders: the Socs and the Greasers. The Socs represent the upper class while the Greasers represent the lower class. The Socs "jump "jump greasers and wreck houses and throw beer blasts for kicks, and get editorials in the paper for being a public disgrace one day and an asset to society the next." The Greasers, who are on the low socio-economic end, "steal things and drive old souped-up cars and hold up gas stations and have a gang fight once in a while." The conflict between the rich and the poor goes even further than economics, however, and bleeds into value systems. This is perfectly illustrated by the character of Cherry, herself a member of the Socs. "You greasers have a different set of values. You're more emotional. We're sophisticated—cool to the point of not feeling anything." Although the Greasers have the advantage in that we see the story through Ponyboy's eyes, the Socs obviously have the economic advantage. In my opinion, there is a strange sadness surrounding this theme because we are never told that the conflict between the classes can ever be solved, . . . it can simply be understood. Therefore, perhaps this is what Ponyboy is attempting to delve into by quoting Frost's "Nothing Gold Can Stay," because the title of the poem in itself exudes truth even in the midst of that understanding.
Posted by ms-charleston-yawp on March 6, 2009 at 5:30 AM (Answer #1)
One of the themes is "stay true to yourself." That's what Johnny's saying to Ponyboy when he tells him to "stay golden." Another theme is kind of cliche, but powerful nonetheless, which is "Never judge a book by its cover." We see Greasers who live up to the stereotype of the juvenile delinquent, Socs who live up to the stereotype of the spoiled, bored, rich kids causing trouble, and those who blow stereotypes out of the water. Johnny is a hero, who saves children at the risk of his own life, & only uses violence in self-defense. Ponyboy loves to read, and does well in school. Cherry fights for the Greasers, and proves herself to be an independent young women. Carrying this further, we find the theme that "The same sun sets on all of us," meaning that we all carry essential aspects of humanity within ourselves.

The main theme of the story is relationships, especially family relationships, within the Watson family, who live in Michigan and travel to visit relatives in Birmingham, Alabama during the Civil Rights Movement in 1963. The narrative centers around ten-year-old Kenny and his rebellious thirteen-year-old brother Byron, and explores their relationships with their parents, friends, grandparents, and each other. All-in-all, the author, Christopher Paul Curtis, creates a portrait of a strong, cohesive family that is hard-working, engaging, loving, and realistic.

the main theme relies in the parody of religion which is made by the author based on his existensialist ideas. In other words what is demanded by religion, total submission to fate and destiny as the will of god, is shown as the cause of degrading human wishes to only " a piece of bread and butter".

I think that "Nothing gold can stay" is a theme because their innocence and youth, which is the "gold", was gone because of their activities in the gang. Knowing identity is also a theme..

The main theme of the story it to engage you into the lives of the Watsons, to the degree that you forget the race they are, the time there in and view them more like a regular family, with the older brother being rebelious, picking on the younger one, Kenny constantly. The youngest of all, their sister is the angel, as she is the least trouble maker in the house, the mother set the rules, the father is the fun parent, etc.
Then, the bombing happens bringing you back to the reality of things that occured in 1963, to the issues of discrimnations of whites against blacks. But Curtis do so in way of not just telling you blacks have been struggling for equality and instead they have these hatful crimes happeing all around them, he shows you the life of an African American family, and how they are just like us, so we can get a better understanding, which was VERY well done!

One of the themes of Wilder's work is the inevitability of change. Given how Wilder's role as a woman has changed throughout the series, These Happy Golden Years is a reminder that she has experienced the progressive nature of change. Wilder has become a participant in the financial condition of the home, while adhering to the domestic realm. Additionally, she is in the position to reflect about how much life for her family has changed. While the condition of the frontier still is the same, "everything changes."
Her own life is a testament to this as her changing characterization enhances the idea of change. Throughout the series, Laura's character had been the focal point of change and growth. This continues in These Happy Golden Years, as she is shown to be a teacher and an independent spirit. She is able to stand on her own, starting her own life and leaving the family that had been so much a part of the series. Her own characterization's evolution feeds into the inevitability of change.

Choosing the right window treatments for an attic apartmentJun 17 2011 Choosing the right window treatments for an attic apartment. Since many attic apartments have a limited amount of windows, you'll want to go for window treatments that will let in the maximum amount of light. Soft sheer shades are ideal for this purpose - they will provide superior light-filtering abilities while still providing a view to the outdoors. These shades will let in a soft amount of light during the day that will reduce glare and create a comfortable atmosphere. If you're simply looking for a window treatment that can go with any interior design, wood blinds are the ideal choice. By ordering window blinds and shades online, you can have your new window coverings custom-made to fit your window. With a selection of wood blinds throughout your space, you will instantly add warmth and a timeless aesthetic to your living areas. Related Products

Muslims are not allowed to kill women, no matter what. They're not allowed to attack old people or children. They're not allowed to damage buildings in war.
"If these were Muslims, then why were they reportedly in a nightclub drinking the night before [Sept. 11]? In Islam, you cannot drink," he said. "So I don't believe they were Muslims."
Finally, Chaudhry said, look at the outcome of the terrorist attacks: America destroyed the Taliban regime, which was supported by Muslim extremists. America is considering invading Iraq, a Muslim country. Muslims in America have suffered from hate crimes, and their mosques defaced.
"Why would any Muslim try to do this to Islam?" Chaudhry said.
Many Muslims worldwide are ignorant about many things, he said, including their own religion. Pakistan's literacy rate is only 9 percent, he said.
"They have been brought up in war. No education. They are living in shelters, these ghettos. I expect this from them."
Chaudhry said the terrorist attacks could have completely discredited Islam, the fastest-growing religion in America.
But they didn't.
"Due to the grace of God, the reverse has happened," he said.
"More people are trying to understand Islam."
The call to prayer is answered
Just before 5 p.m., Ahmed El-Sherbeeny removed his shoes and entered a plain, white-painted wooden building, tucked away behind the McDonald's on University Avenue.
He walked through a carpeted room to a bathing nook, removed the white knit kufi from his head, and patiently explained the ablutions he must perform before praying.
"Hands, gargle, nose, face, arms — right and left — head, ears and two feet," he said.
Then he returned to the carpeted room and turned on a microphone. He faced east and began to sing the prayer call. Speakers piped the high, chanting song into the open air.
Men began to file in: Sabbagh from upstairs, and Shah, who kicked off their shoes, dropped their backpacks and padded quietly to the front of the room, bowing before settling into quiet contemplation.
A small boy entered with a tall man. They stood side by side, the boy copying the man's movements — bending, kneeling, bowing.
The tall man leads the prayer. A young man in hospital scrubs is the last to file in, making 10 who pray along with the leader.
When the simple, silent ceremony is finished, the boy skips across the soft carpet and out the door.
Within a year, Morgantown will have a new mosque to replace the little white building, Albalawa said.
"It will look like a mosque from outside, with the minaret," a tower from which the muezzin calls people to prayer.
"We plan to have an open house soon, for Muslim and non-Muslim to get to know each other."
Morgantown, like other cities in West Virginia, is developing a sizable Muslim community. Albalawa can count Muslims from Asia, Europe, South Africa, North America, Malaysia and Indonesia.
"A big percentage of these people are professionals," he said. "Doctors, a lot of post-doc faculty at WVU."
Late this summer, the State Department started conducting background checks on all foreign male students between the ages of 16 and 45.
"In fact," said Peter Li, WVU's dean of international students, "some of our students are still stuck overseas." By the end of the second week of classes, eight students will still be waiting on their security clearance. They had already missed so many classes, they probably won't be able to study in the United States this semester.
Surprisingly, Li said, Sept. 11 and its aftermath haven't cut down the number of international students at WVU.
"Unofficially, we are getting 160 more international students as opposed to the same time last year," he said. Students from the Middle East and Pakistan make up about 10 percent of the 1,350 international students.
Albalawa said some of his friends from Saudi Arabia abandoned their plans to pursue a Ph.D. in the United States after Sept. 11.
"In fact, if I listen to my mom, brother and sisters, I would not come to this country," he said. He recently went back to Saudi Arabia for a visit, and his family urged him to stay home.
He definitely would have, if he wasn't so close to finishing his degree.
"I try to convince them it's getting better," he said. "But I believe I am taking some risk being in this country now."

This is to save time and pain from having to sift through thousands of spambots and their posts in order to locate actual new members' introduction topics. You'll still need to post in the Newbie Lobby with an introduction topic just for confirmation that everything's fine and working, but this way things will be a lot cleaner and easier for staff.

Moraga (incorporating the former communities of Moraga Town, Rheem, and Rheem Valley)[7] is a suburban incorporated town located in Contra Costa County, California, United States, in the San Francisco Bay Area. It is named in honor of Joaquin Moraga, whose grandfather was José Joaquin Moraga, second in command to Juan Bautista de Anza. As of the 2000 census, Moraga was the 79th wealthiest place in the US with a population above 10,000.
As of 2010, Moraga had a total population of 16,016 people.
Moraga is located at 37°50'06" North, 122°07'47" West, at an elevation of 499 feet (152 m).[7] It is located adjacent to the cities of Lafayette and Orinda, as well as the unincorporated community of Canyon. Other nearby cities include Walnut Creek, Oakland, San Francisco, Concord and Berkeley.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 9.4 square miles (24 km2), of which, 9.4 square miles (24 km2) of it is land and 0.09% is water. Originally Moraga was abundant with pears, however, over the years more houses are being built and it is losing its pear trees. Large sections of the Lafayette-Moraga Regional Trail pass through the town.
Moraga is a valley, surrounded by rolling hills (green in the winter, brown in the summer) and grazing cows. Residents enjoy walking or biking many trails in the Lamorinda area.
Moraga is well known for its school district, which attracts many people from surrounding cities, such as Berkeley, California, Walnut Creek, and even as far away as Martinez, California.
The land now called Moraga was first inhabited by the Saklan native Americans, who belonged to the Bay Miwok language group.[8]
Joaquin Moraga was the grandson of José Joaquín Moraga, builder of the Presidio of San Francisco and founder of the pueblo that grew into the city of San Jose. Joaquin's father Gabriel Moraga was also a soldier, and an early explorer who named many of the state's rivers, including the Sacramento and San Joaquin.
Moraga is located on the 1835 Mexican Land Grant Rancho Laguna de los Palos Colorados given to Joaquin Moraga and his cousin, Juan Bernal. Part of that grant was the property today known as Moraga Ranch. The Moraga Adobe has been preserved, and is located in neighboring Orinda. Joaquin Moraga Intermediate School, a middle school in Moraga, bears his name.
In the first half of the 20th century (1 January 1900 – 31 December 1950), the line of the Sacramento Northern Railroad ran through Moraga; much of the old right-of-way is now part of the popular Lafayette-Moraga Regional Trail.
Moraga's first post office opened in 1886, and was closed in 1887; it reopened in 1915.[9] In 1955, Moraga built a new post office.
Saint Mary's College of California moved to Moraga in 1928.
In November 1974, Moraga was granted township, becoming the Town of Moraga. Its first park director, William Penn Mott, Jr. went on to become the 12th director of the U.S. National Park Service. He is ranked behind John Muir, and Teddy Roosevelt for his service to the national park system. In 1974, Rancho Laguna Park 8.4 acres (34,000 m2) of land located at 2101 Camino Pablo was donated to the Moraga Park Authority by Louise Glass.
Rancho Laguna 2 has become known as the name of a controversial proposed housing development in Moraga – one of several projects encompassing nearly 1,000 homes that are being considered by town officials.
Standing next to the Moraga fire department is the hazard house. The hazard house serves as a display for elementary school tours to demonstrate all the things not to do and how to prevent a fire. The Moraga Fire Department began as a volunteer service staffed by retirees. The Moraga Fire Department is part of the Moraga Orinda Fire District.
Moraga has a Mediterranean climate, with warm, dry summers and cool, wet winters. In the summer, morning fog is a common occurrence, but it usually burns off by the late morning or early afternoon, giving way to clear skies the rest of the day. Most of the annual rainfall comes during the winter; snow is very rare, but occasional light dustings have been seen. Over the course of a year, the town averages 26 days of 90 °F (32 °C) or higher, 40 nights of 32 °F (0 °C) or lower, and 59 days with rain.[10]

Since: Nov 09 9,719 Location hidden |
Judged: 1 1 1 Well, I`m lost. It could be an evacuation, on the other hand there`s no need to send warships for evacuation there. Besides Russia has a military base in Syria which surely will not be under attack, so it could be used as a refuge. It looks like evacuation is just excuse for those ships to come. The ships could be carrying a lot of weapons as well. Russia is very experienced in such covert operations. For example USSR secretly delivered nuclear missiles to Cuba. Soviet transports came through the blockade of US navy. |

Sherwood Park, Canada |
It started. Russians government reports 2 industrial contractors are now taken hostage, they where working for the steel industry. The journalist captured is being offered for $50 million.( my bet these moves are all insurance to get valued POW's back, when things wind down these prisoner exchanges will be some what discreet) I don't believe the Russians would be as effective as that Navy Seal Team 6 or the best in the world period the British Special Air Service - I read a restricted document on a SAS & SBS rescue operation in Africa to rescue 17-19 British peacekeepers who where being readied for execution the step by step performance was incredible they killed all the hostage takers in triple digits liberated the hostages unharmed, but tragictly lost one SAS guy from a well placed trip wired land mine. I'd sell the farm that regardless of hostages the Russians do not want to get bogged down with a losing side, they are also denying Assad Asylum so now the arms sales are done the removal of Russians and their friends will be a natural course policy thus ferries and troop ships.( if they massed a complete fleet or missle frigates than ya thats a game changer) Reading real time blogs the rebels are trying to set up road blocks quickly forcing Russia to engage in dialogue with the battlefield commanders. Would be ironic if some arms went to the rebels from Russia for a safe passage from Damascus. |
Sherwood Park, Canada |
Putin doesn't need an excuse to send warships anywhere especially to his own naval base the foreign minister is outspoken on the extraction even detailing what exact ships are deploying, a ferry and tugs don't pose a threat as for weapons I'd argue it is a losing battle for Assad and the 30,000-100,000 Russians and friends are a large number to move for anyone even aircraft are staging in Cyprus so these ships will be back and forth for some time. The 60's was along time ago and the soviets where mighty, definitely not the same today with all the technology from satellites and drones they can see pretty much through anything these days. If you check out popular mechanics the research on going is mind boggling and note this research hasn't been locked up in a defense contract yet thus it's very much real and amazing. |

I am no IT guy but I have built a couple of computerss from scratch. The problem I am having now is with my Dell Inspiron 9200 laptop.
The laptop has a Sony DVD+-RW DW-56A burner in it. Windows no longer recognizes it. I have tried to uninstall it and then re-install it numerous times. I have even physically uninstalled it. Whenever I try to re-install it or update the driver I get a message that Windows cannot find a better driver. I have done a search on the Dell site as well as through google for a driver but all I can find is a flash for the firmware. I have tried running the flash but I get a message that no drive is installed. I also even copied and pasted the drivers from another Dell laptop, but of course that did not work either.
"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)"
The drive is recognized by the Bios and I can access it through Bios setup. I can even boot from the cd-rom drive. But once Windows loads its all over.
My understanding is that Windows has a built-in driver for the CD-Rom drive and that Sonic should handle the DVD portion. Is that correct? Should I do a re-install of Windows? Will I lose all of my data on my C drive when I do it?
Any help is much appreciated.

NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA (November 4, 2009) – French Quarter Festivals, Inc (FQFI) is proud to announce the inception of its new membership program, the 'Fest Family'. Fest Family memberships were developed to provide festival-goers with a true 'insiders' experience and to ensure a strong future for French Quarter Festivals, Inc.

Tank Limousine
So what do you do if you've got a few spare tanks lying around and plenty of time? Turn one of them into a limo of course.
So at Christmas we pulled out the best armored personnel carrier from 30 we had laying around. A bit of a special not only fitted with a turret for when it was on the Berlin wall, and one of only 13 ever made but she also had some strange mine laying or clearing gismo on its rear which we binned. We decided on Gloss white as you would. Chopped a few windows in the side fitted smoked glass Fridge; twin DVD's reversing cameras completely re trimmed the interior. We found the army had left the massive diesel powered crew heater in one of the 432,s so we threw that in as well.
The Tank Limo will set you back between $3200 to $8000 per hire, but can you imagine pulling up anywhere in this thing? It's a limousine, but it's also a tank. And, God willing, one day it'll also be my home.
Apparently the Batmobile monster truck has been out crushing cars since the mid 2000's, but I didn't know about it because the last time I went to a monster truck rally I was twelve. Aaaaaand popped an awkward boner watching Carzilla eat a station wagon and have always been af... / Continue →

Iowa Senate Plans School Funding Vote
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - State senators are planning to debate a proposal to increase state funding to schools for the 2014-2015 academic year.
On Thursday the Senate was scheduled to vote on the plan. The Legislature is supposed to set school funding more than a year in advance. That didn't happen last year, so the Democratic-controlled Senate has already passed a bill that would increase funding for the coming school year by 4 percent. Democrats have been at odds with Gov. Terry Branstad over education. Branstad is encouraging legislators in the Republican-majority state House to approve his education reform plan before discussing general school funding levels for the next two school years. Branstad's plan would boost minimum teacher pay and offer incentives to teachers who take on more tasks.
