Raikkonen seeks end to German hoodoo
Kimi Raikkonen is yet to win in 15 races on German soil
Kimi Raikkonen is hoping to finally end his wretched Germany jinx and provide Lotus with a much-needed and long-overdue victory.
In 15 races on German soil throughout his Formula One career, be it the German or European Grand Prix, Raikkonen has never won.
Ahead of next weekend's race at Hockenheim, and with Lotus still the only top team without a win this season, Raikkonen said: "I've always enjoyed driving in Germany. But the problem is luck has never been on my side there, and something has always happened to stop me winning."
Worse still is Raikkonen has chalked up nine retirements, which has even led the Finn to jokingly suggest he "maybe did something bad in a former life".
Raikkonen has managed two third places, in the 2002 European race and 2006 German GP during his days with McLaren, but that has been the best of a bad lot.
"I've had four pole positions, which shows my speed on German soil, but six retirements (specifically in the German GP) haven't been what I wanted," he added.
"Maybe it will all come together this year. We've a good car, we understand the tyres quite well, we've shown we can be fast and race well. There's no reason why we shouldn't be fighting for another podium."
Team-mate Romain Grosjean, however, will start the race on the back foot as he will serve a five-place grid penalty for a gearbox change. The issue came to light on the final lap of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone on Sunday after Grosjean had finished a superb sixth despite being last at one point early on.
Lotus technical director James Allison said: "It was a gearbox problem, and we are very fortunate Romain didn't have the problem earlier in the race.
"Unfortunately for Romain it means he'll take a five-place grid penalty at Hockenheim. But he certainly showed at Silverstone that dropping down the order won't stop him challenging at the sharp end."

The first movie's toys did exceptionally well. A cash grab chrome redeco was a no brainer. Most stores couldn't keep them in stock, so they were able to restock Cybertron and Classics and sell those as well. We were riding high on a TF kick at that point, so almost everything in sight, sold.
Then, along came ROTF and sales were good, but they started to really over do it at Hasbro.
And by the time DOTM came along, sales were way down and the economy went down the crapper, so...no Leader Class Optimus, no special editions, nada.
Heck, they were lucky to get what toys were out there, out the door. I'm surprised we got as many DOTM figures as we did. The Wreckers suffered the worst. (Thank you TakaraTomy for that last minute save!)
I'm honestly surprised Amazon bit on this one and that Hasbro even commissioned a run for it.

A search for "Jonathan Kennon Thompson Smith" will produce a link to "A Genealogical Miscellany of Henderson County, TN II" abstracted by this author-researcher. There will be "Three Henderson Co. items." The last will be from The Jackson Gazette July 9, 1825. It names heirs of Elisha Wallen, deceased. This should clear up a lot of questions...and also require changes to a number of web sites to make corrections. I am most uncertain,however, as to Agnes and Bennet Maness...I always thought this was Murrah/Murray. I think this is an error. The article does confirm the first of three known mgs. of Lucy Wallen to #1 Joseph Williams. This Elisha Wallen was b. abt 1732 md. Catherine Elizabeth Blevins.

This route lies on the left side of a buttress of rock, near the northeast corner of Gateway Rock. It lies about 50 feet right of Solo. Just as you enter into Real Hidden Valley, where the nature trail "T"s, look left to the northeast corner of Gateway Rock. This dogleg crack lies on the east (left) side of a small buttress. This climb has cleaned up very nicely over the years. A good lead for someone breaking into the grade.
To 2.5 inches.
Despite the name, this route has fun jamming on decent rock with a very short approach.
Great route! This route deserves more traffic in my opinion. No approach, fun steep jamming, good gear, and shady all day. Next time you're on the way to Illusion Dweller, tick this one too. I found a #3 Camalot useful for the final move to the top.
I liked it... except for the sucky walk off
Better route than "In the Pit" in my opinion. I agree this would be a great first .10a crack lead. Protects nicely, and good footholds to the left of the crack make it easy to place gear. The only drawback is its proximity to the popular trail. Expect onlookers.
The walk off is easy if you find the right path. Descend into the tunnel directly climbers-left from the top of the rock. Head N in the tunnel towards the start of your climb. Make some 4th class chimney/hip-scum moves and voila - back at the base of the climb. Really fun route. Yes it is sharp, and tape is recommended, but the jams are sweet!
Longish video of the climb. Best viewed with the shades down.
Not to be missed. It's right there, but it seems overlooked. Would be a fun outing to hit up Illusion Dweller & Ball Bearing along with it. It is indeed sharp, but makes for solid jams. 10a is fair and a good audience can be fun sometimes.

iPhone 4S to Moto G - a downgrade?
Hi my girlfriend is looking to move from Verizon to T-Mobile .
-She currently has an iPhone 4S that she has been completely satisfied with however now the phone is badly cracked and also is starting to crash with regularity.
-She likes the cheaper off contract plans that T-Mobile offers but does not want to spend a whole lot on an off contract phone.
-She uses her phone almost exclusively to get on Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram, Email, Vine, stream music from Spotify, and take pictures.
I have been recommending the Moto G to her and she is willing to pay the $180 for it. I guess I am just a little worried that she is going to buy this new phone and that it will be a downgrade. In particular that the camera will not be as good. Is this a valid concern or should the Moto G work fine for her?

Hadrian's Wall and Housesteads Fort
Things to see & do
Hadrian's Wall
Hadrian's Wall was originally planned to be 76 Roman miles long (about 111 km) from Newcastle to Bowness-on-Solway to the north of Stanegate. It was later extended to 80 Roman miles (120 km) to Wallsend.
Built in sections, not from one end to the other, it was later decided that the wall would have forts included.
Housesteads Fort
The Fort was built on a steep, windswept slope. The main source of water was a small stream, the Knag burn, running down a valley a hundred metres east of the Fort. The barrack blocks are arranged lengthways along the slope.
There are numerous areas to see at the Fort and why not head to English Heritage's Visitor Centre to see the museum and their events.
Milecastle 37
Placed astride a narrow nick in the ridge top which allowed some access to the north, Milecastle 37 is now in part obscured by the 19th-century excavation spoil heaps.
The Milecastles were the earliest phase of building the Wall, acting as 'rest stops' for soldiers and travellers.
Sycamore Gap
Sycamore Gap, famous for its scene-stealing moment in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves starring Kevin Costner, is a beautiful area of Hadrian's Wall.
The Wall surrounding the gap shows it was repaired with lime mortar and the construction deposits sealed pottery datable to the late second century.
Cawfield Crags
Just beyond Milecastle 41, Bogle Hole, then Whin Sill, the remains of another post-medieval farmhouse, and from here Hadrian's Wall stretches along the top of Cawfields Crags for over 1 mile (1.5km), culminating in Milecastle 42, the first one along the wall to be properly excavated by John Clayton in 1852.
Witness the Wall
Obviously we're very passionate about walls... it goes without saying.
So it was great when Mark Newman, the National Trust's archaeologist, uploaded this video of Hadrian's Wall's walling contractors and a working holiday group at Hotbanks. For a little history and a small insight into what we do...
What's on?
How do you get your kicks? It could be climbing Crag Lough, learning bushcraft skills, searching for stars at night or meeting friends for a cuppa, either way we can help.
Head outdoors at Hadrian's Wall Country. Take in the fresh air, admire the views, be on the lookout for wildlife, and most of all - enjoy. Whether you want to explore alone or via a guided walk, it's up to you.
Don't miss...
- Experiencing what life was like at the Roman Fort
- Enjoy a range of refreshments in the visitor centre
- Our guided walks alongside the Wall
- Our fantastic range of events
- Spotting otters and deers
- Seeing where part of 'Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves' was filmed
- Trying geocaching - the hunt is on for the boxes!
- Admiring the dark skies at night
Enjoy the outdoors
If being out in the open is your bag then join the club.
There's miles of paths ideal for walking, running and cycling, and as we mentioned the views are pretty spectacular too. We have bike sheds at the visitor centre should you need to rest and grab a bite to eat.
It's the perfect modern day treasure hunt for all the family! Use a GPS, which you can borrow from the visitor centre, to search for hidden caches and don't forget to sign the log book.
Meet up
The visitor centre is the ideal spot to meet with friends and family, choose from snacks and drinks or simply browse the shop. Every penny spent goes back into conserving this special place.
Large, small, crawling, flying, furry, bright, or even swimming. While you're out and about stay alert for the wonderful animals living nearby, they're all around.

the act of killing
The Act of Killing: Relentlessly stupid men recount and reenact their relentlessly evil acts, sanctioned by their government, supported by ours, to exterminate communists for profit. Rape, murder, and everything else terrible under the sun is spoken proudly of, the purpose to illuminate that which most of us know to be obvious moral truths. The sad fact is that killing is often illustrious/lauded/heroic when those doing the killing are declared the winners, or when their cause is backed by a governing power or majority. This film is about the power of persuasion, both to sway the public's perception of evil and to sway the murder's soul from liability. It's not all about blaming those who are obviously to blame, the fingers point inward as well (once again the US had skin in the game). Western influence is a big part of the negative space. Just cause is often peddled to us to guise the smell of shit, we in America are far from exempt from this kind of atrocity. These men are shit, much like any gangsters ---- or "free men" as they insist ----- of all stripes who kill for profit, greed, or pretty much any reason other than self-defense (yeah I can't really blame anyone for protecting themselves or someone else). But I guess this is crux of Joshua Openheimer's film, that even monster's souls are penetrable once they have nowhere to hide the truth from themselves. Perhaps more disturbing, the fact that a man lies buried somewhere beneath the beast. The final revelation (a conscience risen from the dead) is both a literal a figurative purge, the film would have failed completely without it.

In the West, isolated showers are confined to the Pacific Northwest, where very cool weather prevails. Meanwhile, mild, dry weather in California and the Southwest is promoting fieldwork and crop development.
On the Plains, another surge of cool air is spreading across northern areas, while mild, dry weather elsewhere favors fieldwork and winter wheat development.
In the Corn Belt, mild weather is returning to the upper Midwest, but chilly conditions linger across eastern areas. Following mid-week rainfall, some producers are resuming fieldwork. By April 4, just 1% of Missouri's corn crop had been planted, compared to the five-year average of 8%.
In the South, showers linger across the southern Atlantic region, but cool, dry weather elsewhere favors a gradual return to planting and other spring fieldwork, as conditions permit.
Outlook: Precipitation will end today in the East, except for some lingering rain and snow showers from the Great Lakes region into New England. For much of the weekend, tranquil weather will prevail nearly nationwide. However, the first in a series of Pacific storms will arrive in California on Sunday and affect the remainder of the West by early next week. In advance of the Pacific storminess, unusual warmth will return to the Plains and Midwest. The NWS 6- to 10-day outlook for April 14-18 calls for above-normal temperatures across the eastern half of the U.S., except along the Gulf Coast, while cooler-than-normal weather will prevail in the Rio Grande Valley and much of the West. Meanwhile, near- to above-normal precipitation across the western two-thirds of the nation will contrast with drier-than-normal conditions in much of the East.
Weather Report: Tranquil Weather This Weekend, Fieldwork Resumes
In the West, isolated showers are confined to the Pacific Northwest, where very cool weather prevails. Meanwhile, mild, dry weather in California and the Southwest is promoting fieldwork and crop development.

I was disturbed at what I recently witnessed at a Buffalo Bills football game. The Bills hosted their cross-state rival, the New York Jets, in Orchard Park, N.Y. I had attended many Bills games years ago, but this was different. The young fans seemed hopeless, yet searching for hope.
My father had owned season tickets to the Buffalo Bills for about 20 years after the opening of Rich Stadium — now Ralph Wilson Stadium — in 1973, and I often attended games with him. My parents were accomplished tailgaters who welcomed friends to celebrate at their camper before, during, and after the game. The joyful pre-game atmosphere was accented by people tossing footballs, blaring music, red and blue everything (the Bills' colors), and the tantalizing smell of grilled meats.
But it was different this time, many years later. Everywhere we looked, my 18-year-old son, my brother, and I saw drunken youth and the crude expressions of their woozy state of mind.
"I hope you get raped!" yelled a 20-something woman to another 20-something female who was wearing a Jets jersey. A few minutes later, the yeller entered the old motorhome next to us and pressed her nose against a window. She laughed when we noticed her odd porcine greeting.
Thirty yards away, a drunken, bare-chested, obese young man stood on the bed of a flatbed truck waving a giant Bills flag with his right hand while downing yet another beer with his left hand at 10:30 a.m. He was accompanied by a friend wearing a Bills jersey waving an equally large American flag. After snapping a photo of this freakish expression of parochial pride and patriotism, another young man turned around to display the back of his T-shirt, which proclaimed that I could kiss his backside if I was incapable of urinating in red and blue. Avoiding conflict, I signaled my appreciation for his enhanced renal functioning with a thumbs-up and a "Go Bills!" Satisfied, he returned to his pack of revelers.
After having a few bowls of our host's special chili, we made our way to the stadium surrounded by throngs of young people in a drunken stupor. Entering the stadium, we saw several signs stating that "the Ralph" is a smoke-free stadium. We noted the irony of Erie County's concern for its football patrons' respiratory health while immersed in a human sea of insobriety.
We took our seats in the upper deck. Again, omnipresent drunkenness. I spoke with a happy young couple with glazed-over eyes throughout the game. Another pleasant young couple cheering for the Jets was comfortably numb for four quarters. A few sections away, an inebriated young man slid down the wall at the end of the upper deck and fell backward 40 feet to the lower level. His employer fired him the following day after seeing the viral replay. Later in the game, another disturbance broke out. A man with the bloodiest face I've ever seen emerged from the crowd escorted by Bills security.

Alcohol, patriotism and the NFL: The best hope for tailgaters
I was disturbed at what I recently witnessed at a Buffalo Bills football game. The Bills hosted their cross-state rival, the New York Jets, in Orchard Park, N.Y. I had attended many Bills games years ago, but this was different. The young fans seemed hopeless, yet searching for hope.

One of the great gear shifts in the already twisty, excellent series "Breaking Bad," came in season four when Skylar (Anna Gunn) finally learned the truth about Walter White's extracurricular activities. And it led to one of the all time great scenes in the show so far, in the season four, episode six entry "Cornered." When Skylar admits she fears for her life because of what could come to their door because of his business, Walt delivers a chilling monologue in which he declares, "I am not in danger, Skyler. I am the danger…I am the one who knocks!" And while we can't imagine anyone but Bryan Cranston in the role, it's still fun to see someone else give it a shot.
Samuel L. Jackson has recorded himself delivering the "I Am The Danger" speech, as part of a fundraising effort on Reddit he organized to benefit the Alzheimer's Association. Naturally, it's different than Cranston's take, and perhaps a bit delivered a touch too heavily, but it's interesting to see how the two actors tackle the same material. Though it should be noted, Jackson is sorta doing this off the cuff while Cranston obviously had many takes to get it right and had some nice editing to help him out.
Anyway, compare both below and then see the rather lame 10 second teaser for the final season of "Breaking Bad" which starts on August 11th. [THR]
JEFTCG | June 8, 2013 12:56 AM
What this fascinating exercise really exhibits is the power of direction and the director, of which Samuel woefully had neither.
And yes, Breaking Bad (and most of cable TV these days) is better than any crap at the movies.

I have no dilemma with the English Language, Ron. I do, however, have a hard time comprehending what the fuck you are trying to say in most of your posts. I think you are trying to tell us that we assume incorrect things about you? Please clarify...

Well, "Guy" in "Tucson," OF COURSE Ron is saying that we assume incorrect things about him. It's not uncommon for people to confess to having sex with underage girls, say how they "should be shot" for having done so, and get lambasted for that confession for months without ever saying "Haha, just joking, I didn't really do that horrible thing." I mean, why would any sensible person reveal that the horrible thing they confessed to wasn't actually something they did? Better to just lord over everyone your intellectual superiority by pointing out that you don't simply take other people at their word, written or otherwise, and much less on the internet.
GT you assume that which he never said at face value - mild mistake being from az which you are being. interenet boards are not always as the truth that you have assumed to have been taking. The only difference is i came close to have been correct severel occasions each day. I dont see how cr could be more clear. .......... tm****
I thought he was trying to tell me to get a world view in his own incoherent way.

Ron: That's not right because it's legal in Colorado.
GiT: Coachella is in California, not Colorado. Your point, while a true fact, is not germane.
Ron: Arizona is not in California either; something about gay marriage; something about Joe Arpaio; and then a lecture about how he (GiT) should not be telling other people what they should say on the board. And then, well, some other stuff.
GiT: Look at this rant from Ron.
Ron: GiT can't read because he was educated in Arizona; Ron lies a lot; further, we were all wrong to believe Ron when he said that about the underage girls in Mexico [Editor's note: then why did you spend weeks defending yourself for it, Ron?]; Ron's better than all of us because we can't tell when he's lying.

Global Views Zig Zag Console Table
Very unique and contemporary style
Joe shopper from Nashville, TN– Verified Buyer
I bought this table to use in my entry way. It goes great with my contemporary style. The quality is good, but the top and base arrive in separate boxes and have to be assembled. The problem I had is that the pre-drilled holes in the top do not line up with the holes in the base. I was not able to attach the two pieces so the top is only resting on the base. Hopefully it stays put and nobody bumps into it. Other than that I am very pleased with it.

Enterprise Reports Results For The Third Quarter Of 2012
Enterprise Products Partners L.P. ("Enterprise") (NYSE: EPD) today announced its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Third Quarter 2012 Highlights
- For the third quarter of 2012, Enterprise reported record gross operating margin of $1.1 billion; adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") of $1.1 billion; net income of $588 million and earnings per unit of $0.66 on a fully diluted basis. Net income for the third quarter of 2012 was reduced by non-cash asset impairment charges of $43 million, or $0.05 per unit on a fully diluted basis. Gross operating margin, Adjusted EBITDA and net income included a $24 million, or $0.03 per unit on a fully diluted basis, benefit from the settlement of certain litigation.

|Gross operating margin (1)

|Fully diluted earnings per unit
|Adjusted EBITDA (1)
|Distributable cash flow (1) (2)
|Gross operating margin, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are non-generally accepted
|accounting principle ("non-GAAP") financial measures that are defined and reconciled later in
|this press release.
|Distributable cash flow for the third quarters of 2012 and 2011 included $8 million and $190
|million, respectively, of net proceeds from the sale of assets and investments. Distributable cash
|flow for the first nine months of 2012 and 2011 included $1.137 billion and $441 million,
|respectively, of net proceeds from the sale of assets and investments.
- Enterprise increased its cash distribution with respect to the third quarter of 2012 to $0.65 per unit, or $2.60 per unit on an annualized basis, which represents a 6.1 percent increase from the distribution rate paid with respect to the third quarter of 2011. This is the 33 rd consecutive quarterly increase and the 42 nd increase since the partnership's initial public offering in 1998. The distribution with respect to the third quarter of 2012 will be paid on November 8, 2012 to unitholders of record as of the close of business on October 31, 2012;
- Enterprise reported distributable cash flow of $743 million for the third quarter of 2012, which provided 1.3 times coverage of the $0.65 per unit cash distribution that will be paid to common unitholders. Enterprise retained approximately $177 million of distributable cash flow for the third quarter of 2012. Distributable cash flow for the third quarter of 2012 included a $24 million benefit from the settlement of litigation and was reduced by $70 million from a loss on the settlement of interest rate hedges associated with Enterprise's issuance of senior notes in August 2012. Excluding these items, distributable cash flow for the third quarter of 2012 would have been $789 million and provided 1.4 times coverage of the cash distribution declared with respect to the quarter;
- Enterprise's total NGL, crude oil, refined products and petrochemical pipeline volumes for the third quarter of 2012 were 4.3 million barrels per day ("BPD"), which was 6 percent more than volumes in the third quarter of 2011. Total natural gas pipeline volumes increased 12 percent to a record 14.9 trillion British thermal units per day ("TBtud") for the third quarter of 2012. NGL fractionation volumes for the third quarter of 2012 increased 18 percent to 653 thousand barrels per day ("MBPD"). Fee-based natural gas processing volumes for the third quarter of 2012 increased 17 percent to a record 4.5 billion cubic feet per day ("Bcfd"), while equity NGL production for the third quarter of 2012 decreased 13 percent to 99 MBPD;
- Enterprise made capital investments of $1.1 billion during the third quarter of 2012, including $1.0 billion of growth capital expenditures and investments and $102 million of sustaining capital expenditures; and
- Enterprise had consolidated liquidity (defined as unrestricted cash on hand plus available borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility) at September 30, 2012 of approximately $3.4 billion.
"Enterprise reported record crude oil and natural gas pipeline volumes; record fee-based natural gas processing volumes and near record NGL pipeline and fractionation volumes for the third quarter of 2012," stated Michael A. Creel, president and CEO of Enterprise. "This volume growth in our fee-based businesses along with attractive sales margins led to another quarter of strong financial performance with a $167 million, or 17 percent, increase in gross operating margin for the third quarter of 2012 compared to the third quarter of last year."

A Reference Point Theory of Mergers and Acquisitions
AbstractThe use of judgmental anchors or reference points in valuing corporations affects several basic aspects of merger and acquisition activity including offer prices, deal success, market reaction, and merger waves. Offer prices are biased towards the 52-week high, a highly salient but largely irrelevant past price, and the modal offer price is exactly that reference price. An offer's probability of acceptance discontinuously increases when the offer exceeds the 52-week high; conversely, bidder shareholders react increasingly negatively as the offer price is pulled upward toward that price. Merger waves occur when high recent returns on the stock market and on likely targets make it easier for bidders to offer the 52-week high.

LOS ALTOS, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/19/13 -- Box today announced that it received the highest possible rating by Gartner, Inc. in its report "MarketScope for Enterprise File Synchronization and Sharing(i)." Box was one of 11 vendors assessed and received a "strong positive" rating based on the evaluation criteria of overall viability, product/service, sales execution, customer experience, marketing strategy, offering strategy and innovation. The company's fast growth and presence in the enterprise market, the ability to meet the needs of end users and satisfy enterprise requirements and its extensive ecosystem of partners all contributed to the strong positive rating.
"As companies move to a more mobile workforce, there is a need for secure access to corporate information on mobile devices. This demand is driving the adoption of sync and share technologies," said Whitney Bouck, general manager of enterprise at Box. "However, to gain the business benefits of these technologies, CIOs need to consider a solution that satisfies both the security and scale requirements of IT, and the ease-of use needs of the end user. Box solves this problem and enables collaboration, making users more productive from anywhere on any device."
In the MarketScope, Gartner analyzed the emerging market for enterprise file synchronization and sharing (EFSS) products, and cloud-based services. While it's clear that the EFSS market is still evolving, according to the report there are two major drivers pushing growth and adoption of EFSS: "the proliferation of consumer mobility, media tablets and bring your own device (BYOD) programs in the enterprise is increasing adoption," and "the unauthorized adoption of personal cloud services raises security concerns and represents a major driver for investments in EFSS."
According to the report authors, Monica Basso, Gartner Research vice president and Jeffrey Mann, Gartner Research vice president, "File synchronization and sharing is a critical capability for mobile workforces whose organizations have ongoing mobility initiatives with media tablets and BYOD programs. We expect IT organizations will face increasing demand for these capabilities, with deeper focus on security and compliance by regulated or security-conscious enterprises."
This demand is reflected in Box's record-setting growth in 2012. To date, more than 150,000 businesses, including 92 percent of the Fortune 500, use Box to manage information and collaborate in the cloud.
Key highlights from 2012 include:
- 150 percent increase in enterprise sales, driven by deployments in large organizations like Electronic Arts, McCann Worldgroup, NBC Sports and Sunbelt Rentals
- $150 million of new investment, including $100 million from global growth investor General Atlantic (GA)
- Expansion of operations in Europe with the opening of a London office
- New senior executives added to the Box team: Sam Schillace, vice president of engineering; Evan Wittenberg, chief people officer; Peter McGoff, general counsel and corporate secretary; and Tom Addis, senior vice president of enterprise sales

No pest is a lot more ubiquitous as opposed to cockroach. Cockroaches have been with guy considering that the dawn of humanity. Recognizing their immunity to radiation, among other things, they might even outlast human existence by itself. Unquestionably then, cockroach termination is no uncomplicated process. This ultimate survivor insect has roughly five widespread pestiferous species in North America, and each species differs to some extent in predilection to habitat and urge for food. The German cockroach, by way of example, is as comfortable indoors since it is outside and can eat just about anything, though the smoky brown cockroach prefers to are living outside and is also deemed mainly an herbivore.
To say the cockroach is resilient is like stating h2o is wet-obvious and understated. That is never to say eliminating cockroaches is surely an activity in futility. It'd just take time, even so the greatest methods to deal with roaches are definitely rather easy and applicable to all species of cockroach. On the other hand, there are some delicate differences inside the approaches to cockroach management in accordance with the species. The 1st phase in achieving roach control is usually to set out some sticky traps (much like the kinds utilized for mice) around your house. This could achieve two items. Primary, it would make it easier to have a improved search in the roaches which have infested your house so as to recognize them.
2nd, it can present you with an concept exactly where the "high traffic" spots are for cockroaches in your house. When you pick out to implement roach sprays, roach baits, or roach poison, you'll know just where to apply it. They're able to thrive in only about any surroundings and so are significantly less reliant on moisture than other roaches. For these causes, the German cockroach has become quite possibly the most widespread pest and roach species inside American house; ironic, taking into consideration their moniker. The German cockroach has a person flaw: its desire for heat air (like that of its native North Africa). Heating vents and furnaces are a few of their most frequent hiding sites. Cleanliness is, naturally, one in all the simplest approaches to eliminate German cockroaches, but only putting out borax-laced roach bait will usually just take care on the situation.
This sort is less common than both the German or brown-banded cockroach, and prefers pretty damp environments. You are likely to generally find the Oriental cockroach feeding on decaying food items, in rubbish containers, and anyplace else meals has been dropped. As a consequence of the Oriental Cockroaches' affinity for sewers, drains, fridges, basements, cellars, and every other great, moist natural environment, your only option for detailed roach management should be to keep your household warm and dry. A dehumidifier set to "high" in the basement or from the first flooring of your respective home may help acquire considerably in the dampness away from the air, leaving the floors as well as other surfaces dry a sufficient amount of to dust with boric acid as being a secondary precaution. They prefer dampness and warmth, and that's why they're so often found in basements, boats, loos and sewers. The American cockroach is probably the larger species of pestiferous bugs with the States, but luckily for us for you personally, it truly is significantly less normal in homes and flats. In spite of this, if you have identified the American cockroach as your difficulty pest, perhaps the best way to get rid within the American cockroach is usually to reduce off access to your own home and cut down the quantity of residual dampness in it. Utilize a dehumidifier to keep your humidity down.
An effective boric acid bait will in general only get 1 software and poof they are long gone to get a yr. It really works excellent because the roaches don't know they really are in peril. The boric acid killer slowly but surely dehydrates them they usually you should not notice it's happening. They continue to keep feeding on the bait unaware. The right half is always that they take the bait back again into the nest. Nest elimination is the one most critical half of roach extermination how to get rid of roaches in an apartment. The numerous yrs of roach evolution hasn't crafted up immunity to sluggish dehydration. That is why the solution works so properly.

Chrysler History
The Chrysler Corporation was an independent American automobile manufacturer for nearly 75 years, before being absorbed into the German DaimlerChrysler AG group in 1998. This family also includes Mercedes and Maybach.
Shortly after auto industry veteran Walter Chrysler founded the company in the 1920s, new marques called Plymouth and Dodge became Chrysler subsidiaries. The Plymouth was intended to offer similar styling with a lower price, as production began in depression-era America. Dodge added some additional model variety, as Chrylser attempted to position itself in direct competition with General Motors.
The Chrysler Corporation was responsible for several significant automotive innovations. In the 1930s, Chrysler introduced the Airflow concept, incorporating aerodynamic considerations into automobile design for the first time. Many modern Chrysler models, including the Pacifica, Sebring, and Aspen SUV, have inherited some visible attributes of the 1930s Airflow models. In the 1960s, Chrysler introduced unitized body construction, which created a more structurally sound finished product. The "mini-van" is also a Chrysler invention.
The company has had a long history of financial struggles, highlighted by a 1979 government bailout worth $1.5 billion and the subsequent emergence of Lee Iacocca. Iacocca's revival had brought about a much improved situation by the mid-1980s. Steady improvements in sales, courtesy of the widely lampooned but tremendously successful K-Car, enabled the acquisition of Jeep/Eagle.
Chrysler continued to struggle until it was bought out by Daimler-Benz in 1998. The so-called "merger" resulted in the formation of DaimlerChrysler AG. Since then, Chrysler has benefited greatly from Daimler's influence on both concept and design. 21st century Chryslers have advanced by embracing Mercedes platforms, European-inspired designs, and the company's own Hemi heritage.
In July 2007, Chrysler was officially bought from Daimler-Benz by an American company, Cerberus Holdings. The Chrysler group name will now be Chrysler, LLC, and it will be owned by Americans once again. The first announcement made by the new owners was that all 2006 - 2008 model-year vehicles sold will have a Lifetime Powertrain Warranty, the best in the industry. This will apply only to the first owner, however, it's a powerful statement about the quality of Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge products and an incentive for buyers to visit their dealers.
Also, in the first week of August 2007, Chrysler demoted CEO Tom LaSorda from his position and replaced him with Robert Nardelli, former Home Depot CEO and the man generally credited with turning Home Depot into the successful, billion-dollar corporation and brand it has become. The next few years will certainly be interesting for Chrysler. While collaboration with Daimler will continue in the form of the Dodge Sprinter van, as well as some suspension components, Chrysler is now free to pursue some of its own designs as well as collaborations with other automakers, which were generally squelched during the Daimler years.

Of course Mr. Stossel is right. One minor point. You cannot plant or eat corn (a.k.a. maize) without planting or eating genetically modified corn because corn exists nowhere in nature. It was developed by South American Indians. It is just the genetic modification was done by selective breeding. Selective breeding has been used by humans to genetically modify plants and animals for thousands of years. Almost everything you eat has been genetically modified. There are very few food plants or domesticated animals which are just the way they were originally retrieved from nature. Probably the most genetically modified critter around is your dog.

Patton Boggs withdraws from hard-fought Chevron environmental case, will pay company $15M
Posted May 7, 2014 11:35 AM CDT
By Martha Neil
In the latest development in a massive Ecuador environmental case that has put lawyers who won a $9.5 billion verdict for the plaintiffs under unusual pressure, Patton Boggs has agreed to withdraw from the case and pay $15 million to Chevron Corp.
Although Patton Boggs was not lead counsel in the case, the well-known Washington, D.C.-based firm agreed to help lead sole practitioner Steven Donziger of New York collect the $9.5 billion judgment awarded by a court in Ecuador against Chevron. A federal judge in New York earlier this year blocked collection of the judgment, finding in a civil racketeering case brought by Chevron that the $9.5 billion verdict was "obtained by corrupt means." Later than month, U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan ruled that Chevron could sue Patton Boggs over its collection role.
That resulted in a decision by Patton Boggs, announced today, to withdraw from the case and settle with Chevron, reports Bloomberg.
"The recent opinion of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in the Chevron v. Donziger case includes a number of factual findings about matters which would have materially affected our firm's decision to become involved and stay involved as counsel here," said the firm in a statement included in the settlement agreement. "Based on the court's findings, Patton Boggs regrets its involvement in this matter."
Hewitt Pate, who serves as vice president and general counsel of Chevron, said in a press release that the company is "pleased that Patton Boggs is ending its association with the fraudulent and extortionate Ecuador litigation scheme. Chevron detailed its objections to Patton Boggs' conduct in its counterclaim, and today's agreement brings that litigation to an end. Chevron encourages others to disassociate themselves from this fraud."
Donziger is appealing Kaplan's decision in the civil racketeering case. He discussed his position earlier in a 63-page witness statement (PDF).

As Paradox got a sudden bump of activity recently, I would like to direct everyone's attention.
The new alpha contains the Soviets as well as the Allies from the prior two. There are multiple additions to both. Full changelog in the extended description...
Our second Alpha release. Changelog link in the description.
Here's a little apology to the community for not having put out anything due to our hiatus. It's pretty rough and only a portion of the Allies are in...
A fix patch to .92, fixing several of the critical issues with that patch. (NOTE: A reissue of a patch that was pulled for being improperly compiled)
Are you unsatisfied by the Achilles Minimod 3.0? Fix it yourself using the source code put together by the development team!
As promised, we present the last version of the Achilles Minimod before it was canceled. Changes include a new main menu, plus two new units for the Soviets...
The talon logo is wrong. the bird on the steel talon logo flys to the other side
Who are these Steel Talons? I think you have the wrong game. I mean, geez, that symbol looks completely original! XD
Two more factions, eh? They sound like very interesting factions; kudos to you for actually going out and bringing in some fresh ideas.
I hope you are in for the long hall. Take it from someone who's been around the cnc modding scene for a while, the amount of time you are going to have to put into this will probably be measured in years and months. Just watch out for that bogeyman called life, he can wreck your plans faster that the stock markets hit dirt, haha.
With that, you already do have a solid foundation of the Confederate faction, and I can't wait to see what you have in store for the rest of the factions.
Don't worry, I am personally going to make sure that open_sketch continues to work on this mod until it is completely finished. Also, it would help to keep this mod alive if we had more programmers and animators on the team. In fact, it would pretty much guarantee the mod's completion.
even more new factions? very cool thing.
oh~~ new faction!! THIS MOD IS THE BIGGEST MOD I'VE EVER SEEN.
Nice and Awesome.
This seems like a elite mod that will forever be in my heart. =P
