This week one of the most popular annual events of the Paphos calendar takes place. The annual Flower Festival is being held at Ayia Kyriaki (St Paul's Pillar) from Wednesday.
Organised by members of the Anglican Church of Paphos, the Latin Parish Church and the Paphos Flower Club, each year the festival focuses on a biblical theme.
Now in its 11th year, this year, each floral exhibit will represent a quotation from the Book of Psalms with over 20 floral displays on display.
"The historic and beautiful Ayia Kyriaki Church will be enhanced by the sight and perfume of over 20 floral arrangements.
"The ladies and gentlemen who produce these have been working hard all year, practising and planning for this unique event," spokesperson, Margaret Keeble said.
Owing to seasonal temperatures, the flowers, most of which are grown locally, will be delivered to the church just ahead of the opening with the arrangers busy creating their displays the day before the opening.
Many of the arrangements are created by a local flower-arrangement club.
The club is always interested in inviting interested people to drop in to sessions to experience what is on offer.
"Anyone is welcome to drop in to any of our lessons to see what we do and see if flower arranging would be for them - and they would always get a cup of coffee!" Keeble said. "The Club which is open to everyone, whether connected to a Church or not, is still going strong and now even includes gentlemen!"
The club is an independent organisation, but closely associated with both the Anglican and Latin Churches, which both use the Church of Ayia Kyriaki where the Flower Festival is held. Although it will be winding down its activities ahead of the summer, it starts with a fresh programme each autumn.
In the usual tradition of the Paphos Flower Festival, at the end of each day, there will be hour-long concerts from 6 pm when audience members can provide a donation rather than pay admission.
Tomorrow the Paphos Voices have been invited to sing, on the Thursday evening there will be an organ recital and on the Friday evening the Festival will be concluded with a 'Songs of Praise' when members of both Churches will be invited to choose their favourite hymns.
The 11th Annual Flower Festival will take place in Kato Paphos at the Church of Ayia Kyriaki on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday April 30 and May 1 and 2 by kind permission of the Cyprus Antiquities Department. The Church will be open from 10am to 5.30pm each day and in the evenings from 6pm there will be an hour of music. Entrance is free though donations are welcome.
There is disabled access to the church. For more information on the festival and the flower club, contact Margaret Keeble on 26 422 380 or 99 533 704 or email at email@example.com

|Grilled American Lamb Sirloin
|Written by San Fernando Valley Sun
|Wednesday, 12 March 2014 22:40
Serves 4 to 6
Pat sirloin dry and place in 8-inch square baking dish. Coarsely chop zest of one lemon and place in food processor or blender. Add juice of both lemons and remaining ingredients. Roughly puree by pulsing food processor or blender several times, until mixture is smooth with some small chunks.
Rub puree over meat. Loosely cover pan with plastic wrap and marinate at least 2 hours in refrigerator, preferably overnight. Remove sirloin from refrigerator one hour prior to cooking to bring meat to room temperature. Heat gas or charcoal grill so one section is approximately 450°F degrees, and a second section is about 350°F.
When grill is hot, scrape excess rub off sirloin and place it on hot side of grill, flat side down. Sear 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until nicely charred. Move sirloin to cooler side of grill and continue to cook, covered, until it reaches 135°F, approximately 25 minutes or 15 to 20 minutes per pound. (For individual chops, use medium hot grill, 4 to 6 minutes per side.)
Before slicing, allow meat to rest, loosely covered with foil, for 15 minutes to bring the internal temperature to 145°F (medium rare). Serving tip: Serve on a bed of Carrot & Coriander Mash, topped with Puree of Grilled Ramps. Find the full recipe and others at www.americanlamb.com.

Windows 8 touchscreen devices to cost more, Dell says
Windows 8 PCs and laptops with touchscreens will cost a bit more to buy, Michael Dell says
IDG News Service - Touchscreen laptops and tablets with the upcoming Windows 8 OS will be priced higher than their non-touchscreen counterparts, Dell's CEO said on Tuesday.
Dell will offer a full complement of Windows 8 products when Microsoft launches its new OS, CEO Michael Dell said during the company's quarterly earnings call. The touchscreen Windows 8 products will occupy higher price bands, which could mean higher profit margins for Dell, he said.
"Unlike other Windows transitions, this is a transition where you are going to need a new PC," Michael Dell said, adding that touch capabilities could drive more people to buy Windows 8 tablets and PCs.
Microsoft hasn't provided a release date for Windows 8 but analysts expect its release later this year. Lenovo has said it will sell a ThinkPad tablet with Windows 8 when the OS is launched.
Despite excitement around the touch interface, however, the upgrade cycle to Windows 8 won't match that of Windows 7, especially in the enterprise, Dell said.
"Corporations are still adopting Windows 7, so we don't think there will be a massive adoption of Windows 8 early on," he said. It also remains to be seen if buyers will prefer tablets over PCs, he said.
The computer maker has been trying to reduce its dependence on sales of consumer PCs, where profit margins are lower, and is trying to sell more higher-priced systems, such as its XPS PCs. Dell's mobility revenue in the quarter just ended declined by 10 percent, while desktop revenue declined by 1 percent.
Its PC business underperformed as demand slowed down and more consumers opted for tablets and smartphones, Brian Gladden, Dell's chief financial officer, said during the call. Dell has shelved its consumer tablets and smartphones over the past few quarters, keeping only its enterprise tablets.
Dell's PC revenue also dropped below expectations because it didn't participate in the market for low-margin, entry-level PCs, which were a big chunk of PC sales for the industry overall, especially in emerging markets such as China.
Falling prices for memory and LCDs, and the normalization of hard drive supplies, favored companies selling those low-end systems, which in turn put pricing pressure on Dell's business.
The hard drive issues caused by flooding in Thailand last year have been resolved and drive prices will fall as the year progresses, Gladden said.
"That's behind us," he said.

A Wonderland
Anonymous Ensemble
Written and directed by Eamonn Farrell. Music by William Antoniou.
Alice, a talented urban dreamer approaching middle age, is caught in a quagmire of diminishing potential, corporate insignificance and the mirage of celebrity. This is Lewis Carroll deconstructed by the mind of a modern, mature songstress on a journey of self-identity. A befeathered spectacle; a psychedelic, multimedia/music-fueled trip down the rabbit hole.
Anonymous Ensemble has been making rock theatre in NYC for seven years and has been seen in Brisbane, Berlin, Oslo, Edinburgh, throughout NYC and soon, London. They're best known as creators of the revolutionary, episodic, rock epic, The Best.
July 15 - 18
Aztec Economy
Written by Casey Wimpee and directed by Matthew Hancock.
A shy comic illustrator in Queens quietly expresses his repressed aggression in an unpublished graphic novel, Lavaman, featuring the daily life of a retired volcano and an alcoholic tombstone. An evening of extreme recreation with his rock-and-roll roommate and his day-trader buddy cracks open his sweet façade with an eruption that incinerates everything in its path. A hardcore punk rock mini-epic of friendship, repression and brutality. With video animation.
Aztec Economy is a Brooklyn-based company that presents small-scale live performances with an emphasis on original work. Resent performance spaces include The Tank, The Brick, Monkey Town, Marfa Lights and the Ohio Theatre. (www.newyorkisdead.net)
July 22 - 25

Hi all,
I just came across 37Signals' Sortfolio (http://sortfolio.com/),
which allows users to filter through portfolios.
It reminded me a little of Google's Fast Flip
(http://fastflip.googlelabs.com/), although that interface offers
minimal filtering and meets different user needs.
I'm interested in finding similar interfaces that showcase pages and
allow extensive filtering. Can you think of any more examples? (It'd
be nice if they were as well-executed as Sortfolio, naturally.)
"Fast Flip is a new reading experience that combines the best
elements of print and online articles. Like a print magazine, Fast
Flip lets you browse sequentially through bundles of recent news,
headlines and popular topics, as well as feeds from individual top
I like the addition of recommended and popularity filters, which I
hope spread to other Google products.
After playing around with Google Reader, yes it is my first time, I
found it to be an amazing web app. However, I also found some awkward
stuff going on, for example:
- Add a subscription button: Searching feeds and adding using one
text field? Doesn't really line up in my mind.
I am kicking off my new Search Matters column by starting from zero:
with the article about no search results pages:
....and I'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions.
Greg Nudelman
Sorry if I'm rehashing a conversation here, but to my surprise I
haven't seen any G1 debates coming up here from the release this week.
So I'll start....Oh my...what a mess. I really enjoy gizmodo's write up....
The interface is really disconnected, inconsistent, and almost has an
amateur quality to it.
I looking for a way of collaborating with a team on producing HTML prototypes.
I'm after something fairly lightweight.
I'd like there to be only a single instance of the prototype (i.e. no
emailing it to eachother).
Anyone got any advice?

Ever enter a search term into google and then wonder how/why a certain
result is ranked first?
Enter the term mensch into google.
A new clustering search engine? Wall Street Journal article here: *
http://www.cuil.com/ launches today.
It was a little quirky this morning. Even though it comes from three
architects at google, how is it different?
"*Popularity is useful, but has dominated search results so heavily that it
gets harder and harder to find the page you want, especially if your search
is a complex one.
Interesting food for thought.

Petrino's re-hiring is a surprise move as he is the same coach that left Louisville in 2007 for the NFL. That move came just six months after signing a 10-year contract extension to remain at Louisville.
Petrino then quit as coach of the Atlanta Falcons after just 13 games to become the head coach at Arkansas. Petrino was fired after three seasons with Arkansas after it was revealed that he had an affair with a female staffer. Petrino spent the 2013 season as the head coach at Western Kentucky.
Louisville did enjoy success during Petrino's first stint with the school, averaging more than ten wins per season in four years and winning two bowl games, including the 2006 Orange Bowl.

Timeout, Duke.
Sitting near midcourt on the bench side, just behind the scorer's table, I looked over my left shoulder and saw Krzyzewski's oldest daughter, Debbie, then a Duke junior, standing, motionless, silent. Tears streamed down her face.
Grant Hill's baseball pass to Laettner. Catch, dribble, pivot, spin, release.
Everyone in the arena was standing. I glanced at Debbie Krzyzewski again. More tears, and near hysterical joy.
I grabbed Fairbank and shouted above the din: "We just saw the greatest college basketball game ever."
Or something along those lines.
Considering the stakes, storylines and performances, the assessment stands.
Laettner made all 10 of his shots, all 10 of his free throws. Every starter on both teams made at least half of his shots.
Krzyzewski, Coach K, went on Kentucky's radio network to salute the Wildcats. Pitino and his players graciously answered every last question.
Kentucky's Shame? This night was Kentucky's Honor. And Duke's.
Deadline was a haze, writing on a temperamental Radio Shack word processor. Back at the hotel, the lobby buzzed far into the night and morning as folks rehashed and marveled.
Duke had little time to bask. The Final Four beckoned, and there the semifinal opponent was Indiana, coached by Krzyzewski's mentor, three-time national champion Bob Knight.
Krzyzewski and the Devils had proven themselves in similar straits at the '91 Final Four, resetting after their semifinal conquest of undefeated UNLV to beat Kansas two nights later for their first national championship.
But even after nearly a week's rest, Duke had a Kentucky hangover. Laettner scored a season-low eight points, and only Bobby Hurley's career-best 26 points and school-record six 3-pointers rescued the Devils, 81-78.
Michigan's Fab Five awaited in the final, and rest assured Chris Webber and company were not awe-struck. Indeed, they led 31-30 at halftime, prompting what was once unthinkable in Duke's locker room.
Laettner was the team's undisputed leader, respected by all, feared and disliked by some. But he had committed seven first-half turnovers, and Hurley had seen enough. He lit into his older teammate, pleading for, no demanding, more.
Laettner finished with a game-high 19 points. The Devils won 71-51.
Hours later, I was among a few reporters standing in Krzyzewski's victory party. The hotel suite was packed, the pizza and beer plentiful. A television in the corner replayed the title game.
Many recent champions had appeared poised to repeat. North Carolina and Michael Jordan in 1983, Georgetown and Patrick Ewing in '85, UNLV and Larry Johnson in '92.
All had stumbled in the tournament.
"I thought about Georgetown in '85," then-assistant coach Jay Bilas said during the celebration. "Whenever you think you're invincible and the other team has no shot, that's not the way it goes. These guys did a good job of going after it and not just letting it happen. ...
"I remember as a little kid in L.A., when UCLA (repeated). I don't remember it being a big deal because they just did it and did it. It was expected. I think these kids know how difficult it is."
Never more difficult than against Kentucky, an epic that's inspired a documentary and book.
Much has changed in 20 years. People, technology, hairlines.
Pitino coaches Louisville, Debbie Krzyzewski is married with four children, Fairbank and I are gray.
Duke-Kentucky endures.

text: MY OWN PRIVATE HELL My father was the one who gave me my first drink a swallow of bourbon when I was 4 years old. We were at a party together. He thought it was funny and I liked the warm rush it gave me. I remember that feeling so clearly even two decades later. I drank alone in secret because the instant I drank everything that was wrong in my life suddenly felt okay. My home life got difficult pretty early. I was molested when I was 7 by an old handyman. Throughout my childhood, my father was domineering and angry, lashing out verbally and emotionally and forcing us to do things we didn't want to do. My mother was so hurt by him that she became a shell of a person and couldn't protect herself or my brother and me. So I drank alone in secret because the instant I drank everything that was wrong in my life suddenly felt okay. Like I was bulletproof. With my faith and trust in adults destroyed, I wouldn't tell anyone the truth or ask for help. It seemed like no one wanted to hear it anyway. So I kept quiet, drank, focused on my school work and did very well. My dad got worse and started to come after me when I was 12 or 13. Shortly thereafter my mom kicked him out -- his cheating, lying, anger, putdowns and attempt on me became too much to bear and she got angry. Feeling alone in his new apartment my father There are years of my life that I don't remember past 8pm and I'll never get those memories back. Waking up face-down in my own alcohol-smelling vomit and wet from my own urine became normal. decided he wanted to see my brother and me. He would bribe me with beer to get me to join my brother on custody visits. Mostly I wouldn't go, and never alone like he wanted. Throughout this time, my grandmother was the most stable person in my life. She was like a safe haven with her big lap and chocolate cake and cookies. Plus she lived with us, so I got to see her all the time. Once I was in boarding school I started hanging around the wrong crowd and the dealers with guns. I tried most drugs, though alcohol remained my main love, and put myself in many bad situations just to see if I could get out of them. I stole, lied, hit my mom, got suspended, got picked up by the cops, fooled around with guys who didn't care about me thinking about it even now makes me want to shower for days just trying to feel something. It made my life seem normal and sane to pick friends that were more screwed up than I was. I blacked out every time I drank because Recovery is hard. I had to rebuild my life from the ground up, to deal with old wounds, to eat when I'm hungry, to say no to bad situations, to manage my life without the alcohol crutch. I couldn't stop drinking (nor did I want to.) There are years of my life that I don't remember past 8pm and I'll never get those memories back. Waking up face-down in my own alcoholsmelling vomit and wet from my own urine became normal. I had so much anger and bravado that it powered me like jet fuel. I hated the world and wanted to die. Then my grandmother actually did die and I was crushed. My goal at that moment was to get really drunk, meaning two bottles of Jack instead of the one that gave me alcohol poisoning, sitting on the steps at varsity knocking back shot after shot until I couldn't see or answer the phone. But somehow I had this vision of myself at 35 as a career woman with a family, messing it all up because I was a drunk. I knew that would be me. Maybe it was my grandmother death that let me see myself for the first time in a while. Without really thinking I decided to try not drinking and went to a rally against sexual assault. I cried all night. I didn't know what to do but somehow I knew it had to be something different. Unfortunately it still took two years to get it. I never went to in-patient treatment because I didn't need detox. For most of my life at 18 and 19 I tried to just drink occasionally. But all it took was one drink and I'd finish the bottle. I was a mess. I couldn't talk to anyone because I thought no one understood. I was depressed, and I often wanted to kill myself. I was more alone than when I was drinking. Then a varsity roommate brought me to a young people's recovery group, and finally, someone understood. Looking back, this group made everything I now enjoy possible. Recovery is hard. I had to rebuild my life from the ground up, to deal with old wounds, to eat when I'm hungry, to say no to bad situations, to manage my life without the alcohol crutch. My sponsor helped me to see my life was unmanageable when I drank, but that there was something out there greater than me which could help me get better. Slowly I stared asking for help from a few people I came to trust -- My good friends have been very supportive. Thankfully, my mom got her life together and is now strong, supportive and remarried to a great guy. Today my life is unbelievable. I'm happy, healthy, with a great education, career and fabulous friends who care about me. I know that I am extremely lucky. Of the kids I used to hang out with, two are speed addicts with small children, one is in jail for crack related violence and child abuse and one is still living with his parents, smoking crack. Only one girl ended up okay. If you can relate to this story or are in a similar situation, please believe that life doesn't have to be this hard. Listen carefully and you will find someone you can trust to help you. But no one can help you if you don't reach out. My wish is that no one else ever has to endure the pain I went through trying to do it alone. With love, AJ

So here is my ideas for draft day. Being a defensive minded guy like Zimmer I came up with a strategy that would fit his "D". Yes I know we need a QB but there are plenty in this draft that would fit a Norv Turner offense. So here it is;
Rd1 CB Dennard
Rd2 S Joyner
Rd3 (1)DT DaQuan Jones
Rd3 (2) ILB Borland
Rd4 best G available(I'm kinda partial to Ryan Groy)
Rd5 QB Murray or Fales
Rd6 RB Sims West Virginia
Rd7 CB Johnson NC State
or S Vereen UofM
The first 2 picks are perfect specimens of a Zimmer Secondary. Hard hitting, good tacklers who will press and keep tight coverage. With Borland we get that run stuffing ILB that we all miss. WHAT ABOUT AUDIE??? He can play outside and did up until his senior year. The QB situation has always been a sore subject in Norseland so why not take the safer approach and go Brady/Rodgers like and get the accurate arm and let him learn for a couple years? Sims is a RB that is fast, strong and can catch out of the backfield. Finally the next 2 guys are guys who to me at 7 will be can't miss picks especially Johnson from NC State. Tall, fast, and good cover guy plus he can tackle since he was a LB starting out in college. Vereen is a personal favorite..Just some thoughts on a different level.

2014 Mercedes-Benz S 63 AMG 4MATIC Coupe (C217) Start Up, Exhaust, Test Drive, and In Depth Review
Deutsche Version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1a-p4G0N24
We had the chance to drive the all new 2014 Mercedes-Benz S 63 AMG 4MATIC
Coupe (C217)for two days in the surroundings of Pisa and Florence in Italy.
Here is our In Depth Review of the newest Mercedes-Benz S-Class creation,
the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S 65 AMG (V222). We enjoyed our test drive with the
2014 Mercedes-Benz S 63 AMG 4MATIC Coupe (C217) , we hope you will like our
video review as well. Make sure you don't miss the Start Up and the Exhaust sound.
The new S 63 AMG Coupé is the latest dream car to augment the Mercedes-AMG
model range. Exciting lines underpin this two-door model's design.
Dominance and sensual purity combine to lend the vehicle irresistible
presence and effortlessly superior sportiness. Equally impressive is the
combination of high driving dynamics, ambitious lightweight construction
and groundbreaking efficiency. As the most powerful member of the
BlueDIRECT engine family, the AMG 5.5-litre V8 biturbo engine is a paragon of poise and assurance.
Boasting an output of 430 kW (585 hp) and 900 Nm of torque, the S 63 AMG
Coupé delivers exceptional performance with remarkably low fuel
consumption. Performance-oriented AMG 4MATIC all-wheel drive is available
as an option. And there is a world first in the shape of the curve tilting
function, part of the MAGIC BODY CONTROL suspension system, to further
enhance both driving pleasure and comfort.

As with the transmission, customers also get a choice when it comes to the
AMG sports suspension: the rear-wheel-drive S 63 AMG Coupé is equipped
with MAGIC BODY CONTROL, while the all-wheel-drive version of the two-door
model features the full air-suspension system AIRMATIC with the adaptive
damping system ADS PLUS. Specific front axle kinematics -- including higher
camber, a larger anti-roll bar and a stiffer subframe carrier on the rear
axle -- have been developed exclusively for the S 63 AMG Coupé 4MATIC.
These measures enhance the vehicle's agility when driving dynamically.

2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S 4Matic Start Up, Exhaust, Drive, and In Depth Review
Correction, @5:07, this is the W212 generation E-Class, not W213, sorry for
the confusion!
Hello and welcome to Saabkyle04! YouTube's largest collection of automotive
variety! In today's video, we'll take an up close and personal, in depth
look at the 2014 Mercedes E63 AMG S 4Matic.
Thanks MB of South Charlotte for allowing me to come out! For more info on
their inventory, check out http://www.mbcharlotte.com/saabkyle04.htm
MSRP pricing for the E63 AMG S, before options, begins at:
Price for this AMG S ~ $106,000-$107,000
During this presentation, we will take a 1st person look at what the
vehicle is all about beginning with the start up, performance data, fuel
economy, the occasional track data, and build quality. Also, I will teach
you how to use most of the interior and exterior features in a detailed
fashion, that before, you could only get from going to a dealership
yourself! Throughout the video, I will highlight key styling and unique
differences about the vehicle, any available options, and of course it
would not be an enthusiast car video without the good ole engine portion
with rev and Exhaust note with
interior and exterior perspectives. A thorough tour/review of this car
designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHANNEL SEE BELOW: In this channel you will
find in depth educational videos of automobiles from all over the world,
presented in a more detailed fashion than ever before. Basically, this
gives the viewer the chance to view the most detailed 1st person look you
can get without going to an actual dealer yourself! Every video is
consistent in the way I present so viewers know what to expect in my
presentations. I treat every vehicle with the same respect whether a 1960
Chevrolet Impala SS or the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador. I film all types of
vehicles from past, present, and future while broadening the knowledge of
the automotive enthusiast. You will see everything from vintage, brand new,
exotic, mainstream, old, etc. I am very proud of this channel and have
built it up from amateur videos years ago to what you see today. I wanted
to share my love for the automotive world with the rest of the world. Be
sure to explore the massive video variety, have fun and enjoy The Driver's
Seat of YouTube!

2014 Audi RS5 vs 2014 Mercedes-Benz C63 507 Coupe! - Head 2 Head Ep. 51
On this episode of Head 2 Head, Jonny Lieberman sets out to discover which
German hot-rod-personal-luxury-coupe is the best you can get. The 507 Coupe
is the last iteration of the W204 C63. With the exception of the very
limited-run Black Series, it's the best C63 that AMG has ever done. Under
its hood sits a hand-built, 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V-8 good for 507
horsepower. What
more do you want? Perhaps something more high-tech, and that's where the
Audi RS5 comes in. The sexy coupe from Quattro GmbH in Neckarsulm features
a 4.2-liter V-8 that spits out 450 hp. That¹s less power than the 507
Coupe makes, true, but the Audi also features AWD, a dual-clutch
transmission, bigger wheels and tires, plus a trick torque-vectoring rear
differential. Which one is quicker? Which one is more fun to drive? Which
one is best? Watch and find out!

2014 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6X6 vs 2014 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG! Head 2 Head Ep. 46
On this episode of Head 2 Head, Jonny Lieberman heads to Graz, Austria, the
home of one of the world's toughest off roaders - the Mercedes-Benz
G-Wagen. The last time a G63 appeared on Head 2 Head, it beat out the
all-new and quite excellent Range Rover Supercharged. This time, however,
the G63 faces even stiffer competition — another G63. Of course, this
particular G has an extra axle, because it's the $500,000+ G63 AMG 6x6!
Costing roughly twice as much as the awesome twin-turbo V-12 powered G65, the 6x6 is the ultimate
expression of the Gelandewagen... on paper. But is it actually any good? Is
the 6x6 as awesome as it looks, or is the regular G-Wagen just too well
thought out? And why is the 6-wheeled truck always jumping in the air like
that? Watch and find out!

We had the chance to drive the all new 2014 Mercedes-Benz S 65 AMG (V222)
for three days in the surrounds of Bielefeld and Dortmund. Here is our In
Depth Review of the strongest Mercedes-Benz S-Class, 2014 Mercedes-Benz S
65 AMG (V222). We enjoyed our test drive with the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S 65
AMG (V222), we hope you will like our video review as well. Make sure you
dont miss the Start Up and the Exhaust
intro about the car
With the introduction of the W140 in 1991 in Geneva, Mercedes introduced a
12 cylinder engine in a S-Class for the first time, reacting to BMW effort
with the 7 series top modell. In 2004 Mercedes introduced the first S65 AMG
(after they already offered a AMG powered V12 in the S55 AMG). Last year I
was able to be part of the world premiere of the new S-Class, now be called
222 series and the debut of the all new S 65 AMG which had its debut at the
LA auto show 2013.
Let me get the facts out of the way first. The S65 AMG has a fine 6 Liter
V12 engine (for those Mercedes freaks - its the M279) that comes with 630
hp. Between 2.300-4.300 rpm it gives you a maximum torque of 1.000 Nm -
equals 738 foot pound of torque. All this power goes right to the rear.
Even though the Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG weights 2250 kg (which equals 4960
pound), it accelarates from 0 to 100 km/h or even from 0 to 60 mph in 4.3
seconds. The topspeed is reached at 250 km/h / 155 mph - unless you spend
some extra bucks on the AMG drivers package - doing that your speed rush
will not end before reaching the 300 km/h, or 186 mph.
Ok, you can close your mouth and dream on. At least in Germany, you need at
least 232.050 Euros or 222.000 U$ to buy a S65 AMG. But then you have a
whole bunch of premium options included that you pay for extra on the
regular s-class for instance the AIR-BALANCE package, the Burmester High
End 3D-Surround Soundsystem with the COMAND Online infotainment-System, the
LED Intelligent Light System, Park-Assist package, MAGIC VISION CONTROL,
SPLITVIEW, the seat package with the massage functions and the panoramic
Mercedes builds an 80 Liter (21 gallons) tank in the S65 AMG and says you
can get a milage of 19.8 mpg (equals 11.9 liters for 100 kilometers). So in
theory at least, you should be able to drive a distance of 600 km / 373
miles without getting gas. Honestly, I even believe it is possible, but
then ... who would buy this car to drive it all slow and carefully instead
of just making the V12 roar. Yeah right, and not disable the ECO-Start
Stopp function.
Just to rund up those numbers and figures - the S65 AMG only comes as the
long version called V222 (the short version is the W222) and it is 5.29m
long (17 feet 5 inch), 2.13m wide (7 feet) including the mirrors and its
height is 1.5m (5 feet). It has a turn radius of 12.3m (40 feet 5 inch).
Overall you are allowed to store up to 500 kg (1102 pound) in the car.

2014 BMW M5 Competition vs 2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S Model! - Head 2 Head Ep. 44
On this episode of Head 2 Head Jonny Lieberman is joined by Mike Shaffer
and two extremely potent hyper sedans, the 2014 BMW M5 Competition and the
2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S Model. Between the two of them, these two
mighty Germans produce 1152horsepower and 1092
pound-feet of torque. On paper. After a day of horsing around/testing
Shaffer and Lieberman grow suspicious of each twin-turbo V-8's actual output. So, they take them to
the Dyno gurus at K&N
engineering to learn what's what. The results very well may shock and amaze
you. However, the boys come to the conclusion that numbers are only exactly
that: only numbers, and numbers only matter so much. One true test of a
super sedan is how it handles a twisting stretch of tarmac. The other is
how much you yearn for the car after you've walked away from it. How much
the keys itch in your pocket. While the results are definitive, this Head 2
Head is much closer than most. Have a watch!

This is by far the very best hiking boot I have ever…
This is by far the very best hiking boot I have ever owned. Most boots hurt my feet, this one only felt better the longer I wore it. I had it for a year and wore it during a 3 month trail building project in Puerto Rico. When everyone else's shoes gave out the Chaco held up. Unfortunately the mud is so full of organic matter that I had to get rid of them due to the 3 month stink. Now I can not find another pair and I am very sad. Wish me luck in finding this again in my size.
I have a pair that has barely been worn that is just a tad bit too small for maximum comfort. Wish I knew what size you'd like! I stumbled across your review when I was trying to supplement my info for ebay details. Also, I realize it's been a couple of years since you left the review! Mine are Size 10

The new season of Dancing With The Stars debuted on ABC Monday night, and Ron Artest may not have impressed the judges with his cha cha, but he still left a lasting impression on the rest of us. How often do you see an NBA player dressed up like a male stripper?
A hilarious recap is over here, and video of Ron Ron's Cha-Cha is after the jump.
Before we get to the video, I'd just to like to say that this would've been the perfect setting for millions of Americans to get acquainted with Ron's new name, "Metta World Peace". Alas... ABC elected to play it safe. Eric Freeman provides some additional notes over at Yahoo! Sports:
The dance: The cha-cha-cha. Of Cuban origin. Contestants also had the option of the Viennese waltz, which World Peace wisely avoided.
The outfit: Red velvet pants, a sparkly vest, a bedazzled fedora, and a blond hairdo with "World Peace" on the back of his head in purple Hebrew.
The song: Like most songs on "DWTS," it was a cover of a popular song I couldn't place performed by Western Indiana's best wedding band.
If there's no NBA this year, maybe we'll have an NBA-themed dance competition instead.

Nick Clegg is running the country this week. This is simultaneously a bit terrifying and highly amusing
Perhaps I've cut Nick Clegg too much slack of late. It is certainly an awfully long time since I wrote that he had officially joined the Muppets. Back then various Lib Dems said I was too harsh on their leader and that there is no place for mildly sarcastic personal abuse in politics. For the most part I agreed, but ultimately there must always be a few exceptions. In the interests of balance I was prepared to make an exception for Nick Clegg.
Yet gradually, as the coalition has rumbled on, even I have started to get used to Clegg, and the sight of him lolling there at Cameron's side in the Commons, his expression sometimes suggesting boredom, other times sad and faintly mournful, as though he had been coached by his former friend the actor Colin Firth on how to do a sad and faintly mournful face. Incidentally, did you notice that the Lib Dem leader popped up mystifyingly in all those royal documentaries of the last year, hanging around in the background? Even though he is hell bent on destroying the British constitution and turning the UK into a lesser Belgium, he still gets an invite to hang out along with Cameron when there is a bash being thrown for the Queen.
But something very serious has happened that has jolted me out of my complacency on the Clegg front. David Cameron is on holiday. This means that this week Clegg is running the country. I find this simultaneously a bit terrifying and somewhat amusing.
Admittedly nothing serious has gone wrong yet, and if (God forbid) there is a problem the Prime Minister will be on a plane back from Portugal quicker than you can say make mine a large glass of vinho verde. But as someone very interested in British history, I worry that Clegg being in charge says something disturbing about a country's capacity to go backwards. Cleggie is now, for as long as a fortnight, "in the chair" occupied by Thatcher, Callaghan, Attlee, Churchill, Salisbury and Gladstone, all of them big, serious, weighty figures. Put like that, Clegg being in charge of the UK – even on a work experience basis – just doesn't seem right.
But perhaps letting him run the country for a fortnight shows, once again, that the British have a sense of humour. In this way Clegg is a great unifying figure, as someone the Tories (beyond the pro-Clegg Cameroons) and Labour can unite around mocking. When he lost out on House of Lords reform, having been completely stitched up and outplayed by his Tory and Labour opponents, he excelled himself and provided some of the best Lib Dem fun since Paddy Ashdown fell for Blair's overtures before 1997. Then Blair won a landslide and Ashdown was left high and dry. This time Clegg was furious with his opponents, who had of course been "playing politics" by opposing him. How dare other politicians go around beating him at politics.
During the period after his House of Lords defeat Clegg somehow managed to look both slightly downbeat and quite angry, which is how one imagines Colin Firth looking right at the moment when the former Lib Dem supporting actor heard that the Lib Dem leader he had backed in an election had got into power and then reneged almost immediately on his campaign promise to students.

Scientific name: Ninox novaeseelandiae albaria
Common name: Southern Boobook (Lord Howe Island)
The Southern Boobook (Lord Howe Island) is considered a valid subspecies (Higgins 1999; Norman et al. 1998b; Schodde & Mason 1980), though it has previously been considered a separate and distinct species by some taxonomists (Schodde et al. 1983).
The Southern Boobook (Lord Howe Island) was a small owl with spotted plumage. It was approximately 30-35 cm in length. Its head was pale reddish brown, with pale whitish or buff supercilia (outer corners of the eyebrows) which extended onto the facial disc to form an indistinct X-shaped marking; the upperparts were pale reddish brown, concolorous with the head, with white spots; and the underparts and upperwings were pale rufous brown with small white spots. Its bill was dark slate grey, its eyes were golden yellow and its legs and feet were greenish yellow (Higgins 1999).
There is nothing recorded about its social structure and dispersion, but other subspecies are usually recorded singly or in pairs, and occasionally in small family groups in summer (Higgins 1999).
The extinct Southern Boobook (Lord Howe Island) occurred only on Lord Howe Island (Hutton 1991; McAllan et al. 2004).
There are no current captive populations of this subspecies and none has been reintroduced into the wild.
At the species level, the Southern Boobook occurs throughout Australia and New Zealand, as well as in the Lesser Sundas, southern New Guinea, and on Norfolk Island (Coates 1985; Higgins 1999; White & Bruce 1986).
The global population of the Southern Boobook is considered to be secure (del Hoyo et al. 1999). The Southern Boobook is widespread throughout Australia, where five of the subspecies are considered to be of least concern with stable populations, while the subspecies on Norfolk Island is extinct (Garnett & Crowley 2000). The decline and subsequent extinction of the Lord Howe Island subspecies was caused by competition with and predation by introduced owls (Garnett & Crowley 2000; McAllan et al. 2004), but this is not threatening process elsewhere in the species' overall range. No subspecies outside Australia are listed as threatened (Birdlife International 2000a).
The Southern Boobook (Lord Howe Island) was geographically separated from all other subspecies until the eastern Australian subspecies was introduced to Lord Howe Island in the 1920s. Though Southern Boobooks are widespread throughout Australia, they are geographically separated from other populations overseas, and there is generally no interchange between Southern Boobooks of Australia and those of other regions. However, one Boobook recorded on Kai Island in Indonesia was thought to have been of the subspecies N. n. ocellata from northern Australia (White & Bruce 1986).
There have not been any comprehensive surveys for this species. There have, however, been a number of ornithological surveys on Lord Howe Island since the 1950s, when the Lord Howe subspecies of the Southern Boobook is thought to have become extinct (Disney & Smithers 1972; Recher 1974; Recher & Clark 1974), and there has been no sign of the subspecies.
The Southern Boobook (Lord Howe Island) is extinct (Garnett & Crowley 2000). Though it was not commonly seen (Garnett & Crowley 2000), it was often heard (Hindwood 1940; Hull 1909). However, no population estimates were ever made.
The Southern Boobook (Lord Howe Island) is thought to have occurred as a single population on Lord Howe Island. The species as a whole occurs in several smaller populations, each considered a separate subspecies (Higgins 1999). There are 14 different subspecies, of which half occur in Australia (Higgins 1999).
The Southen Boobook (Lord Howe Island) is extinct, but the overall global population of the Southern Boobook is probably stable (Garnett & Crowley 2000). The last genetically pure Southern Boobook (Norfolk Island) individual was observed in 1995, and the population on Norfolk Island now consists of hybrids between the Norfolk Island subspecies and the closely related N. n. novaeseelandiae (Norman et al. 1998b; Olsen 1996).
Under normal circumstances, the Lord Howe Island subspecies of the Southern Boobook did not interbreed with other species in the wild, as there were no other owls inhabiting Lord Howe Island. However, it has been speculated that after the introduction of the eastern mainland subspecies of Southern Boobook (N. n. boobook) the two subspecies may have interbred (Hindwood 1940; McAllan et al. 2004) but this is unconfirmed.
Lord Howe Island was gazetted as a World Heritage Area in 1982, long after the became extinct.
The Southern Boobook (Lord Howe Island) inhabited native forests and also occurred around the settlements (Etheridge 1889).
Many species on Lord Howe Island are threatened or extinct (Garnett & Crowley 2000), and it is possible that Southern Boobooks (Lord Howe Island) may have associated with (or preyed upon) one or more of those species, but this is unrecorded.
Nothing is known of the sexual maturity, life expectancy and natural mortality of the Southern Boobook (Lord Howe Island). The species as a whole may form breeding pairs within six months of fledging (Stephenson 1998), although on Norfolk Island, Southern Boobooks do not breed until three to four years old (Olsen 1996). In captivity, Southern Boobooks first form pairs when one year old, but do not breed until two years old (Fleay 1926; Fleay 1968). Causes of natural mortality of the species as a whole include: predation by raptors such as Brown Goshawks Accipiter fasciatus, Grey Goshawks A. novaehollandiae and Masked Owls Tyto novaehollandiae (Czechura et al. 1987; Mooney 1993; Olsen et al. 1990); mobbing by large birds (Whiter 1989); entanglement of juveniles by weeds such as dodder Cassytha or Bidgee Widgee Acaena novaezelandiae (Ashton 1996; Mooney 1992); and eye ailments which result in blindness (Stokes 1982; Wilson 1990).
The breeding behaviour of the Southern Boobook (Lord Howe Island) is undescribed (Hindwood 1940; McAllan et al. 2004), and a suggestion that they laid two to four eggs (Hutton 1991) is speculative. Other subspecies lay between one and five (but usually two or three) white eggs in the hollow of either a living or dead tree (Higgins 1999).
It was suggested that the Southern Boobook (Lord Howe Island) probably fed 'almost exclusively on birds', as other than a species of bat, there were no mammals present on Lord Howe Island, though it probably ate mice after their introduction in about 1868 (Etheridge 1889; Hindwood 1940). They are more likely to have eaten nocturnal insects, such as moths and beetles, as well as small birds (Etheridge 1889; Hutton 1991; McAllan et al. 2004).
The foraging behaviour of the Southern Boobook (Lord Howe Island) is unrecorded. Other subspecies generally forage by perching on an elevated site while scanning an area by sight or sound, constantly moving the head to watch for movement or to look in the direction of sounds, and then capture prey by sally-striking in the air or among foliage, or sally-pouncing onto the ground (Baker-Gabb 1984b; Clancy 1977; Debus 1996, 1997,1997a; Olsen & Bartos 1997b; Stephenson 1998).
As the Southern Boobook (Lord Howe Island) was endemic to the island, it was probably sedentary. Other subspecies are resident in some areas, and in other regions part of the population undertakes seasonal movements, comprising either altitudinal movements (Olsen & Trost 1998) or geographical movements (Storr 1984b, 1988b), so that some local populations are augmented by seasonal visitors. For example, some Tasmanian birds are said to migrate across Bass Strait to spend winter in Victoria and NSW (Conole 1985; Cooney 2004; Mees 1964; Robinson 1984).
Nothing is known of the home ranges or territories of the Southern Boobook (Lord Howe Island). In other subspecies, some Boobooks maintain territories throughout the year (Stephenson 1998). Some territories are estimated to cover 100 hectares (Olsen & Trost 1998), while for other individuals, home ranges may be as small as 3.5 hectares (Imboden 1975).
Historically, the species would have been distinctive as it was the only species of owl which occurred on Lord Howe Island. After the 1920s, when other owls were introduced, it was readily distinguishable from Masked and Barn Owls by its small size and its pale reddish-brown plumage with white spots. It was less easily distinguished from the introduced eastern Australian subspecies of Southern Boobook N. n. boobook by its paler plumage and less distinct facial markings (Higgins 1999), but their calls are said to have been indistinguishable (Hindwood 1940; Hull 1909; McAllan et al. 2004).
The subspecies was readily detectable, as it called often (Hindwood 1940; Hull 1909).
The cause of the extinction of the Southern Boobook (Lord Howe Island) is unknown, but is likely to have stemmed from the deliberate introduction of three species of owls (the eastern Australian subspecies of the Southern Boobook N. n. boobook, Masked Owl Tyto novaehollandiae and Barn Owl Tyto alba) between 1922 and 1930 in an attempt to control Black Rats Rattus rattus which were accidentally introduced to the island in 1918 (Hindwood 1940; McAllan et al. 2004; McKean & Hindwood 1965). It is likely that Barn Owls competed with Boobooks for food, and the eastern Australian subspecies competed with the local subspecies for food and nesting hollows (McAllan et al. 2004). Masked Owls may have preyed on the Boobooks, but it is unlikely that the two species competed for food or breeding sites (Garnett & Crowley 2000). In addition, Black Rats Rattus rattus may have eaten the eggs and owlets of Southern Boobooks (Garnett & Crowley 2000).
The species is thought to have survived until the 1950s (Hutton 1991; McAllan et al. 2004), when a Boobook was heard calling, though it is unclear whether the bird was the local subspecies or an introduced bird, as the calls of both are said to be indistinguishable (Hindwood 1940; Hull 1909; McAllan et al. 2004). There is an unconfirmed report of a call being heard in 1969 (Disney & Smithers 1972).
There have been no major studies conducted on the Lord Howe Island subspecies of the Southern Boobook. Higgins (1999) summarises all that is known about the species as a whole. The Action Plan for Australian Birds (Garnett & Crowley 2000) also provides a summary of ecological and biological data.

About Mira's Homemade GranolaYou will discover that "less [really] is more" when it comes to our refreshingly different granola! MIRA'S HOMEMADE Granola uses five or fewer raw and organic ingredients. We are different in that we minimize ingredients while maximizing nutrition and taste. Our granola are completely vegan, GMO, soy & gluten-free, contain no refined sugars, are low in sodium, high in fiber, and are a good source of protein. Children as well as adults enjoy them in a variety of ways, but especially right out of the bag. And because they double as a delicious snack food, a growing number of people prefer them over heavily sugared or salty snack alternatives.
Our granola are not just for breakfast but you can enjoy them that way, too. They are a crunchy addition to oatmeal, salads, your favorite dairy-free yogurt, atop dairy-free ice cream, (this vegan's preference; please feel free to choose yours), or for an amazing new snack experience spread some nut butter on the larger pieces (Cacao & Hemp especially!). Because we are somewhere between bits and bars in the granola world, the possibilities are yours to create, right down to the last morsel. However you eat them we know you will love them, and for sure your body will! Thank you for sharing the exceptional nutrition and great taste of these four personality-packed granola with your family and friends... with our love and gratitude.
