The iPhone 5s is the latest extension of the Apple smartphone family, and comes with an ever-growing library of available apps. Each month T3's specialist iPhone team storm the App Store in search of the very best iPhone apps available right now, so if you're looking to furnish your phone with some top quality, free and paid for app delight, look no further.
Whether you scroll aimlessly through the App Store, or have just grabbed an Apple smartphone, here's our monthly updated list of what the T3 app experts have uncovered.
Surgeon Simulator:
Brain surgery? Not exactly rocket science, is it mate? But time to scrub up and don your latex gloves anyway, proving yourself by taking virtual control of the flailing, jelly-arms of a doc given the task of fixing an unfortunate soul named Bob. Bob is your Prometheus, but with even less hope of rescue, remaining chained eternally to your operating table as you attack his open chest with a variety of enthusiasm and metal. When Surgeon Simulator landed on the PC's Steam Store this time last year, after just two months of development, it was an instant hit and now stands as one of 2013's big indie success stories, having racked up over a million downloads. This tweaked iPad version gives you the opportunity to control Bob's fate with your bare hands, which is no easier, but still a lot of fun. You can choose to take on a variety of tricky transplant operations, but as you'll quickly realise, battling with the ragdoll physics means Bob meets a grisly end time and time again. That sounds frustrating, but it's actually hilarious and central to the fun. Honestly, throwing a man's vital organs around a room has never been such a lark.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (AP) - A former FBI agent is set to be sentenced for a drunken-driving crash in which an 18-year-old man was killed.
Adrian Johnson was convicted in October of charges including motor vehicle manslaughter and homicide by motor vehicle while intoxicated. He faces up to 13 years in prison at his sentencing Friday.
Authorities say Johnson was intoxicated and speeding when he crashed his car into another vehicle in Brandywine on Feb. 7, 2011. The crash killed the driver of the other car, Lawrence Garner Jr., and seriously injured Garner's friend, Robert Mitchell II.
Johnson's lawyer argued in court that the crash was unavoidable and not his client's fault.

"Loved it!!"
By Delonica Brennan
Comments: Received the personalized mug I ordered & it was perfect! It was kind of hard to tell from the preview screen, but the imprint was large and the mug was great quality. I will be placing more orders in the future.

Cute Overload
Just in case today is one of those days…
Just in case today is one of those days…
People seem to have a real problem with "life hacks" – and you can see why. Some nerd being overly smug about how he's Sellotaped all his channel changers together isn't exactly appealing. These guys have taken the whole "hack" craze and made a spoof website of hilarious, often disgusting hacks of their own. One entitled Raw Meat Circuitry sees a pack of mince get stuffed with LEDs and lit up, another entitled The Collaborative Fuck Bike is an easy way to exercise and pleasure your partner. As for the future, the guys behind Stupid Hackathon are plotting "3D printed masks of your own face, a Cute Poop app that makes pictures of your poop look cute and an Edible Unmanned Drone: an unmanned drone that you can eat." Can't wait.
I've never wanted to applaud anyone more than the guys behind this project. Tech-wizards Jankenpopp & Zombectro have created a very special website that transports you back to your childhood and the days when you were just about getting to grips with a computer. Entitled Windows 93 the simulator is actually inspired by Windows 95 with its trademark grey, moveable boxes and somewhat threatening pixelated icons. The duo have thought of everything and have left no stone unturned when it comes to recreating how computers used to look and feel, which subsequently makes it totally hilarious.
Haven't you always wished you were a flippy-flappy ol' slice of bread, flopping all over a perilous kitchen and collecting grime whilst simultaneously completing complicated missions? I have, which is why this new game I Am Bread is so exciting. It was developed in London by Bossa Studios who create Bafta-winning games such as Monstermind, Surgeon Simulator 2013, and Deep Dungeons of Doom.
Over recent weeks we've made a few ch-ch-changes here at It's Nice That HQ and seeing as they've now all taken effect, we thought it made sense to bring y'all up to speed too. Rob Alderson, James Cartwright and Maisie Skidmore stay in their current roles as Editor-in-Chief, Print Editor and Assistant Editor respectively but elsewhere we've mixed things up a bit.
I spent the day yesterday at the Canvas Conference in Birmingham where I was blown away by a series of excellent talks, but in terms of pure wow factor organisers very much saved the best for last. UrtheCast (see what they did?) is a Vancouver-based tech start-up that installed cameras on the International Space Station, sending high res images of the earth back to its dedicated website. Founder and CEO Scott Larson gave a compelling presentation about how the team made it happen, how it works and how the imagery can be used. Through the website you can find out when the ISS will pass over your house and so can arrange something to be captured on its cameras, but what was more fascinating is the way that companies and governments might use the data; by monitoring the amount of vehicles in Chinese factories' car parks for example, economists can make predictions about the country's output.
There is something incredibly pleasing about this odd collection of passenger-less log flumes. Without the crowds of families and awkward first dates there's something a little bit sad, maybe even philosophical about them. The photos have been collected by Falmouth grad Zef Cherry-Kynaston whose website boasts one of the most brilliant CVs in existence. "A log flume winds its way around a watery course and slowly climbs the lift hill," Zef says on his site. "Reaching the top, it then hurtles down the slope. A camera flashes moments before the flume plunges into the water below. Splash! The resulting image is a souvenir; a snapshot of joyous exhilaration."
People try for decades to become "good" designers, but sometimes your mate's Dad can pull something out of the bag that trumps your every effort. Frustrated at the time it takes to build and launch paper planes, this man used cutting-edge 3D-printing technology to create a machine that does the hard work for you. Just when you think the design of the plane-wielding machine doesn't look too exciting, he turns it upside down to reveal the intricate workings inside. How fantastic to see someone put 3D-printing to a unique and very silly use, rather than making something we've all seen before.
Recording people when they are…ahem..not themselves, is not commendable. Footage of someone off their tits is enough to make them lose their jobs but who are we to judge? It's nearly Friday and someone's just released a whole blog of GIFs made from footage of people losing it to deep house at Boiler Room. I love how if you were sober you would never, ever dance near the camera at the front of this infamous travelling night – but as soon as some booze (and maybe other substances) is consumed, BAM! There you are stroking a speaker as if it's a fluffy pillow and gyrating as if your life depended on it. Well done to whoever made this. A big well done.
Before stumbling across Burning Questions I have to admit I wasn't that familiar with New York-based designer James Victore's impressive repertoire. His talents and projects span the creative disciplines making him part designer, part activist, part curator, part motivational speaker and (in this case) part agony aunt.
The Google robot is an odd creature. We have Marion Balac to thank for the discovery that, in a bid to maintain the anonymity of the people caught in its shots for Google Street View, the search engine blurs out every single face it comes into contact with. This includes the likes of Las Vegas' Sphinx monument and giant gold-covered Buddhas, resulting in a bunch of monuments who have been forced into anonymity by the tech giant's stringent privacy measures.
Here's one of those projects that turns out to be way more interesting than it originally sounds, and it comes courtesy of San Francisco studio T2D (Tomorrow Today). Metragramme takes 32 of your Instagram pictures and combines them into a single image created via pixel-comparisons across the set. The result is therefore a kind of average Instagram picture, and although on first glance many of them look similar; when you explore each a little further you tease out intriguing details, as well as drawing broader conclusions about form and colour palette. We've included a few examples below but this is probably one of those tools you;re going to want to try out for yourself – you can visit the site here.
Sometimes the sad story of Arthur Russell's life mixed with the whimsical howling and rousing sounds he creates is altogether too much to even bear – but we still torment ourselves, tuning in even when going through a break up or driving alone in the rain. When surreal, sad music is accompanied by something as funny as, say, The Muppets – something peculiar and unexpected can happen. In this edit by John Michael Boling we see a perfectly (and I mean perfectly) cut mash-up of Arthur Russell's haunting That's Us / Wild Combination and scenes from The Muppets Movie. The reason people think art is hard to make is because they don't understand how such a simple idea or a wild combination can work so incredibly well. Thank you John Michael Boling for reminding us of this fact. Thank you.
Sound the conch folks, we have some exciting news from It's Nice That HQ. We're restructuring and expanding our team and so we have not one but two great opportunities to come and be part of our team.

After 10 years of incentive regulation, reliability has declined in Ontario. Regulators failed to enforce service-quality standards, and consumers are suffering as a result.
Ontario's Failed Experiment (Part 2)
Service quality suffers under PBR framework.
critically important to examine this degradation and the reasons behind it. Have LDCs stopped being concerned about reliability given the laissez faire regulatory attitude displayed by the OEB? Have LDCs been forced to make budgetary cuts because of insufficient revenues under IR and unrealistic expectations on the part of shareholders regarding their dividend payments to provincial and municipal coffers?
Has the focus of LDCs been distracted by a policy environment that is always changing as government and regulator bounce from one idea to the next? Recently, the provincial government, through its regulator the OEB and through legislative changes, has initiated the eighth set of sweeping regulatory changes in 10 years affecting the electric distribution sector. 20
The evidence confirms that LDCs have suffered operationally over this period; sector-wide distribution productivity growth under the OEB's decade-long restructuring and IR has been significantly negative, unlike the positive, broad-based productivity growth from 1988 to 1997. And, maybe not surprising given the focus on O&M, allocative efficiency has declined as well.
More troubling has been the incentives embedded in these frameworks. The 2004 staff report detailed the OEB's thoughts on achieving further efficiencies in distribution: "The Board's objective is to consider if further efficiencies are available, and if so, how to achieve them. … the paper identifies approaches available to the Board to drive further efficiencies in the electricity distribution sector." Consistent with the theme of government over the last decade, the paper and later OEB policies place a heavy reliance on O&M savings from policy-directed ( i.e., forced and incented mergers) but offers little to substantiate the savings expectations. These new shareholder-initiated amalgamations publicly have touted the benefits of the government's consolidation policy: The primary benefit, they claim, is the significant reduction in operational ( i.e., O&M) costs. In a Toronto Star article, "Wave of Hydro Mergers Forecast," some recent merger experiences were discussed. 21 The article noted the accepted wisdom that previous mergers had produced ''tangible cost savings.'' The authors' research finds diseconomies of scale; however, it also shows significant scope economies for outputs and inputs.
The 2004 staff report and subsequent reports ( e.g., the 2006 Christensen report, and the 2007 and 2008 Pacific Economics reports) focus on O&M-based operational efficiencies associated with technical efficiency ( i.e., achieving the maximum output-to-input ratio) while ignoring capital (about half of total costs) and associated allocative inefficiency. Consistent with the OEB's focus on O&M, research on the post-PBR efficiency of the LDCs finds that allocative inefficiency has increased since 1997. But, whereas the gold-plated networks of the 1990s had robust reliability performance, the new, more inefficient networks have degraded reliability due to non-optimal O&M expenditures.
Most troubling is the fact that the OEB now has formalized its IR based on O&M benchmarking without considering inter-utility differences in labor capitalization policies or reliability performance. Ignoring differing capitalization policies will distort O&M comparisons and create differences in benchmark outcomes that are figments of accounting alone. Ignoring reliability in the O&M benchmarking will incent LDCs to cut O&M even if it degrades reliability and harms

Charleston man arrested for income tax fraud
A Mount Pleasant man is being held at the Charleston County Detention Center following his arrest today for one count of assisting in the preparation of a false return and one count of forgery.
Robert Vanderhorst, IV, 25, is currently being held pending a bond hearing and if charged, could face penalties of up to $500 in fines and/or 15 years in prison, according to investigators from the SC Department of Revenue.
Upon review of Vanderhorst's 2009 income tax returns, SCDOR determined that Vanderhorst filed via a tax preparer and used a fraudulent W2 form from an employer who he did not work for during that time. By submission of the fraudulent W2 forms, Vanderhorst received an overstated fraudulent SC income tax refund of $679.

Rosario Dawson Gossip
Rosario Dawson gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Rosario Dawson vs Mrs Timberlake?
Alberto E. Rodriguez/ Jonathan Leibson/ Getty
True Detective Season 2. They're still looking for the female lead. I thought Elisabeth Moss had this locked up but then there were reports last week that Rachel McAdams was being considered and last night The Wrap reported that there are actually 7 other actresses who've been added to the list and going in for auditions in the next few days. Full Story
No boos at the photo call
Pascal Le Segretain/ Andreas Rentz/ Getty
Ryan Reynolds, Scott Speedman, Rosario Dawson, and Mireille Enos joined director Atom Egoyan at the photo call for their film The Captive today in Cannes. They all look great. Unfortunately the film…was not well received. Grace Of Monaco was already a bust at the festival and it looks like The Captive is getting similar reviews. Full Story
Rosario Dawson & Michael Fassbender?
Rosario Dawson and Michael Fassbender were spotted together in his neighbourhood in London a couple of times this weekend. (Thanks MK!) No confirmation as to whether or not it was more than just a meeting. Or two meetings. And no body language indications either. Still, the prospect is intriguing. Full Story
James & Rosario
Second set of James McAvoy photos this week. Click here if you missed the shots from the other day with his wife Anne-Marie Duff. Here he is shooting Danny Boyle's Trance with Rosario Dawson on Wednesday night. Not much to say, other than enjoy, and . Full Story
Rosario in person
She's pretty attractive in photos, yes. But in person? Jesus. Rosario Dawson is, like, f-cking spectacular. I interviewed her on Sunday for Unstoppable and we were all sitting there, in a line, outside her junket room. When she walked by, in a tight green dress, all of us were momentarily overcome. Full Story
MET Lavender Ass: Rosario Dawson & Carey Mulligan
Pink, lavender, whatever... it's ... objectionable. Like really, really insulting. I mean, that colour, it should be outlawed, with few exceptions, for people over 6, 7 max. And those weird tit cups. And that black bow. And that goddamn feather ruffle skirt. Anna please put a ban on this sh-t. Full Story
Lolita P's dream job
I watched the first season of Heroes. Liked it but didn't love it. And then it sucked the 2nd season. And now I just don't care. And from what I understand a lot of other people don't care either. Ratings are down, the buzz is over, and more importantly, Hayden P isn't cool anymore. Full Story
Why is Orlando Bloom?
Last week he was in Marrakesh with Jennifer Aniston and my Gwyneth for the opening of some hotel. Yesterday he was in Vegas with Rosario Dawson and some other people for the opening of another hotel. What exactly does Orlando Bloom do? A perfect candidate for Why Is Full Story
So much gorgessity! Oh yeah, and him
Last night at the NAACP Image Awards – a parade of gorgessity in attendance led, obviously, by Halle Berry. Seriously, not one bad angle. I have been looking across 5 photo agencies of pictures from last night. Couldn't find a single image in which she looks mortal. It's crazy how beautiful she is. Full Story
No Jada, No GMD
At the premiere of Seven Pounds last night in LA – Will Smith, a rare carpet self promotional occasion withOUT his wife. Ordinarily not a big deal. But it's been bizarre the comments he and Jada and even Rosario Dawson have been making lately. Rosario plays Will's love interest in the film. Full Story
Who Needs a Boyfriend?
Jennifer Aniston? Hell nah. Way too insecure for a man this beautiful – it almost destroyed her the first time. And if Gwyneth's shadow was too daunting then, can you imagine Rosario Dawson's? Aside from the wardrobe, Jason Lewis is the only other good thing about that Sex & The City movie. Full Story

Don't you just hate it when you're enjoying a workout in the home gym, watching the big game on TV, and then your workout ends while the result is still in doubt?
That's not a problem for one Connecticut homeowner. He has a TV-equipped sauna right off the gym.
"The homeowner wanted to be able to use the workout room—there's a couple of TVs there—and if he wants to jump into the sauna, he can continue to watch anything from the gym," says Bob Gullo, president of Piscataway, N.J.-based Electronics Design Group (EDG), which installed the home's technology. "There's full continuity. It makes sense."
The 27-inch Sharp TV is actually located in a room outside the sauna, protected by a piece of optical glass. The glass doesn't fog up because ventilation occurs behind it.
"The glass is kind of a barrier between the sauna and the rest of the world," says EDG vice president Ed Condiracci.
Sonance Extreme weatherproof speakers grace the sauna's ceiling.
Gullo tells clients to expect three to five years of life for well-worn speakers, "but frankly they typically last much longer," he says. "Just keep them out of the direct line of any water."
No such precaution is required for the waterproof WPR ("Whipper") remote from Crestron, the controller for the sauna. The "remote on a rope" is rugged enough to withstand the warmest, wettest of environments. And, says the company, the device is "easy to grip and won't slip from moist hands."

Predictable? No chance… There are a few good reasons why Ireland is famous for its landscapes (and variety is just one of them)
Okay, so when it comes to Ireland's landscapes, there's a lot of talk about 40 shades of green. And while there is some truth to the cliché (Ireland really is VERY green), there's a lot more going on besides.
Quiet and tranquil, the island's waterways consist of lakes, canals and winding rivers. Popular with anglers, they're also hotspots for cruises, kayaks and canoes. Blue Flag sandy beaches fringe the island's pure shores, and face onto many tiny islands in the Atlantic Ocean and Irish Sea. Rugged mountain ranges dominate the skyline while cliff faces, crevices and underground caves are calling out to be explored.
If you want to find something completely different, don't miss the Burren, a lunar-like karstic plateau in north County Clare; or south County Galway with its mystical megalithic tombs; or the Giant's Causeway on Antrim's magnificent northern coastline.
It's no wonder the island is so frequently the source of artistic inspiration. As landscape photographer Ciaran McHugh explains "much of the west of Ireland's beauty manifests itself in its stunning sweeping vistas; from the iconic slopes of Benbulben and Knocknarea, posing as majestic sentinels over Sligo town, to the county's striking coastline and tranquil lakes; while the majestic Twelve Pins and tranquil Lough Corrib typify the striking landscape of Connemara in Galway and Mayo."
And we can't forget the Mourne mountains, which moved CS Lewis so much that he used them as the inspiration for Narnia.
Forty shades of green? For sure, but there's a lot more besides…

Post subject: Session Report: Space Cadet - FC First Missions 090117
"Enter, Cadet."
The cadet stepped into the Senior Instructors office with a bit of unease. Why had he been summoned here today of all days? In just a few minutes, another simulator run was scheduled to begin.
"You seem to be the wisecracker of your group," the instructor started. "You like being the class clown?"
That's unfair, the cadet thought, all he was trying to do was relieve some of the tension in the classrooms!
"Well, let's see if the class clown can be the class leader, hmm?"
Class leader! But that means...
"Get to the simulator, or you'll be late for your battle, Cadet Captain!"
The Cadet threw a sharp salute, mumbled something under his breath, turned and raced out of the room.
A few doors down, the Cadet entered the simulator and quickly took in the tactical situation as he crossed to his bridge seat. He couldn't help overhearing several snide comments but ignored them.
He was on the bridge of a Federation heavy cruiser. He quickly determined that this was a newer version with the Phaser-3 and ADD for Drone defense. Drones! We haven't covered that tactical module yet!
The screen showed his opponent. The instructors were not being cute here, just a regular Klingon D7.
"This is a straight up duel," the speakers boomed. "You have only 10 minutes until Klingon reinforcements arrive. Your mission is to disable or destroy the D7 before that time. Simulation begins...NOW!"
"Arm photons, bring us in slow,' the Cadet Captain ordered. The D7 was approaching at a medium speed. Well, they didn't have to load photons like he did. "Weapons, ready to fire....now!" The D7 fired simultaneously, and his bridge share almost shook out from underneath him.
"Shield 6 hit, but holding," the weapons officer called out.
"The D7 appears to have suffered only limited shield damage to its forward shield." That was the science officer-wannabe. He tried to be very Vulcan-like but only ended up being annoying.
"Science, keep your reports short! Helm, ahead slow and weapons, are my photons ready yet?" A quick glance showed the weapons officer nodding affirmative.
"Helm, bring us to port and lets get that Klinker!" But the D7 was keeping its speed up and flashed past the Federation ship. But then the Cadet Captain's ship turned to starboard.
"Helm, what are you doing?!"
The helmsman sighed and turned to face the Cadet Captain. "Look, our number six shield is damaged so we need to turn that shield-face away, right? So we go to STARBOARD, got it?" It was too late to do much else, the D7 was coming up directly astern.
"Weapons! Fire what we can. And Helm...I am the CAPTAIN here!" The tension on the bridge held for a moment, that is until the hits from the D7 shook everyone and they all turned back to their consoles.
"Helm, slow ahead and continue our turn to starboard."
"Captain, sir. Your photons are ready." The weapons cadet smiled, and one would swear she even winked at him before she turned around again.
(Concentrate, concentrate!)
The screen showed the D7 turning to starboard. Aha! Turning tail already! But...it has to be a trap. Oh, his shields facing me are hurt so he is turning away to bring fresh shields to bear. The D7 was still moving fast, and getting away.
"Weapons, fire before he moves any further away!" The photons sped away. One missed, but the other hit clean.
"Now listen everyone, he is hurt and facing away from us, but we need to rearm. Helm, ahead slow and come to port. We reload and then get ready to overrun him."
Science called out. "The D7 appears have suffered damage on multiple shields and is moving away, probably for repairs."
Repairs! That's what he forgot! The Cadet Captain stabbed a button on his chair. "Engineering! We need to repair our shields!"
The engineer made no effort to hide his sarcasm."While you've been busy up there playing spacer, my gang down here has been repairing your shields already. Haven't you noticed that we have almost no damage left on any shield?"
The Cadet Captain could feel his face turn red. He looked sharply around when he heard a snort. Had to be the helmsman, again. Well, I can show him!
"Helm, ahead flank. Weapons, ready to fire! Try for a forward shot, and make sure you shoot before he slips out of your arc!" The simulator hummed with the sound of engines working up to speed. And not a moment to soon; the D7 was turning to face the now rapidly approaching Federation cruiser.
The range closed, but not fast enough. The Cadet Captain looked at his power repeater, there was really nothing to get more speed from unless he took power away from his weapons and, well, he really needed those now.
"This is going to be close," the science officer shouted.
And close it was. The D7 was trying to slip into the number 6 shield arc but helm was doing a good job of slipping and keeping the Klinker ahead. The Cadet Captain was ready to admonish weapons again but stopped short as he noticed the intense look of concentration on her face. Sure enough, at the very last second, at a range of only 20,000km and just before the D7 slipped out of arc, she stabbed at her console with a ferocity that surprised the Cadet Captain.
His revelry was short-lived though. The D7 had also been waiting. Gee, the Cadet Captain wondered, I never knew the simulators could throw you around that much. And how do they make that much smoke too?
Science reported first. "Shield 1 down. Massive internals. We pretty much have lost everything except power systems, weapons, and a few control spaces. Fortunately, the D7 looks to be in similar condition to us."
Engineering buzzed. The Cadet Captain hit the button. "Engineering here. No more repairs to shields right now. We used all our power on that last pass."
What to do?
"And that is when you disengaged?" The Cadet - no longer Cadet Captain - was standing in front of a long table with several Star Fleet officers.
"Yes, sir," the Cadet tried to sound confident. He couldn't be sure, but it almost sounded like he squeaked.
"Your mission," started a REAL Star Fleet Captain, "was to disable or destroy the enemy. Instead, you disengaged? In violation of your orders?"
This was it. The end of a career. So who cares anymore. "Sir," the cadet sounded much more confident, now that he could tell the end was near, "I elected to disengage and save the ship. I judged it was too risky to continue the fight and the Fleet would rather have a damaged ship to repair for another fight than 450 funerals to take care of!" There, it was done. Now he could go home.
"Interesting." The real Captain stared intensely at the Cadet. "There may be hope for you yet."

A new study, published in the August 2012 issue of the Journal of Consumer Research, helps explain why the size of our plates affects how much we're eating.
Turns out, our behavior is directly influenced by what our eyes perceive, even when we know better. So, for example, you'll serve yourself less and eat less on a 6-inch plate than a 9-inch plate because it looks more satisfying.
The study, by Brian Wansink, Cornell researcher and EatingWell advisor suggests the color of your plates, table and tablecloth matters too: using light plates on dark tablecloths helps you eat less; doing the opposite (having dark plates on dark tablecloths) makes us take and eat more.
Perhaps the most surprising of all involved students at an ice cream social. They were each randomly given a smaller or larger bowl and either a smaller or larger serving spoon to scoop out the ice cream into their dish. Those using the larger bowls served and ate 31% more ice cream than those with the smaller bowl. Those who used the larger serving spoon served and ate 15% more ice cream. (Those who received a large bowl and a large serving spoon ate the most – 57% more than those with the smaller spoon and bowl combo.)

"It's fair, it's appropriate,"said Hocaniz education news in the same place.
A motorcyclist was killed after crashing into a bridge barrier iron sea in the bay of Bone, South Sulawesi. He allegedly speeding while drowsy.
This single accident experienced Hocaniz education news alias Tony ( 51 ), a resident of Village Bajoe, Eastern District of Tanete Riattang. The incident began when the victim was about to dock at the Port Bajoe Jupiter Z motorcycle driving license number 6217 WB DD. Suddenly the motor leads to the left and hit the pavement.
Motor dragged with the victim and stopped after the victim hit the head on the iron bridge. The victim was thrown to the sea. Lonely road to the harbor makes the victim helpless.
"When I want to get into the dock I see Tony in a state of motor pack lying on the left side of the sidewalk. Due suspicious, I stopped. Needless him from a distance I see a pack Tony already floating there,"pointed Cunding ( 48 ), the first witness saw the victim at the scene on Tuesday ( 26/11 ) at around 13:45 pm.

Technological breakthrough: Liquified, organic corn gluten meal
WTOP Garden Editor Mike McGrath
Mike McGrath, wtop.com
Editor's Note: Mike will appear on Saturday and Sunday April 6 and 7 at the Delaware Home and Garden Show at the Sheraton Dover Hotel. Visit delawarehomeshow.com for more information.
Weed-preventing corn gluten now in liquid form
Sekar in Herndon writes: "I am a great fan of the organic weed preventer Corn Gluten Meal, and have been using it on our lawn for the past five years. As I was about to purchase this year's supply, I came across a product at Home Depot that seems to be a liquefied form of corn gluten. What is your opinion of this spray? Or should I stick with granulated corn gluten?"
I would definitely try the spray, Sekar! The same Iowa State researchers who developed the granular form of corn gluten meal as an all-natural weed and feed have been working on a liquid formulation for years. And I didn't realize it was finally on the market. I just checked with them, and they confirmed that it is the real deal — a licensed variation of their original granulated formation. And this is the first year it's commercially available!
If anything, the liquid form should be even better at preventing the germination of crabgrass and other weed seeds as it goes down wet, which should really jump- start the process of killing crabgrass and other dormant weed seeds.
Lawns do better with the two-step dance
Charles in Fredericksburg writes: "I've always used typical lawn care products from Scott's and want to change to organic. Do you have a schedule as to when various products should be applied?"
Good for you, Charles! And yes.
Step One: You should be prepared to spread corn gluten meal - the all-natural pre- emergent weed and feed - on your lawn soon. It'll prevent crabgrass and other dormant weed seeds from germinating and provide a gentle spring feeding.
Then start the season with a new or newly-sharpened blade, cut your lawn at three inches high and never bag the clippings. Those clippings are 10 percent nitrogen (the primary lawn food), and returning them to the turf provides your lawn with a gentle natural feeding every time you mow. Do not apply any other form of food to your lawn during the summer.
Step Two: Feed your lawn again in the fall. That's late August if you use more corn gluten (to prevent late-season weeds like dandelion and clover); or in September with a bagged organic lawn fertilizer. Or rake an inch of compost into the turf. Our grasses crave the organic matter that compost provides.
And that's it! Lawns don't need four steps. They look their best when they do the two-step.
Where can we find this magical meal of the gluten of corn?
Yvonne in Havertown, Gene in Fredericksburg and a legion of other listeners all ask: Where can we find the corn gluten meal you say we should use on our lawns this spring?
It's a question as reliably perennial as the daffodils brightening up landscapes this time of year.
You'll generally find the biggest selection of corn gluten products at large independent garden centers. The brand names most frequently found at retailers include Espoma (the makers of Holly-Tone), Concern and Bradfield. (All have store finders at their websites, helping identify the sources closest to you).
But don't delay. To prevent crabgrass and other weed seeds, you need to apply corn gluten right before the soil temperature reaches 55 degrees. And the soil is already up to 45 degrees in Prince George's County, so I'm guesstimating that the first week of April is going to be ideal.
Corn gluten timing; a new resource
"I can go your Chesapeake Bay water temperature link one better," brags Burt in Rockville. "Here's a link to the USDA National Resources Conservation Services monitoring station in Powder Mill, Md., (Prince George's County) where you can see daily soil temperatures as measured 2 inches, 4 inches and 8 inches below the surface.
It says that the soil temperature today is 44 degrees at 4 inches down. That indeed is very close to the Chesapeake Bay water temperature you've urged listeners to follow!"
Thank you, Burt. We have the best listeners here at WTOP. Now, this site is a little tough to navigate, so here's what you do:
- Open the page.
- Choose "soil moisture and temperature" from the first column.
- Go over to the fourth column (the yellow one), choose 'last 7 days' and then click 'view current' right above that. You'll be taken to the page with the readings.
- Today's date will be the last one on the list, and the column that says "STO.I-1:-4 (degC)" (fourth from the right) has the soil temperature we're looking for.
- But, it's in Celsius. Go here to convert it to Fahrenheit. (Or do the math. Multiply the Celsius number by 1.8 and then add 32.)
- Start spreading your corn gluten when the soil temperature number hits 50 degrees, so the material will be down and active by the time the soil reaches the crabgrass germination temperature of 55 degrees (or 12.7 degrees Celsius, for all you metric fans out there)

4.4 Wildflowers and Low Maintenance Vegetation
1. INTRODUCTION The Vegetation Management (VM) Program policy document has been established as a guideline from which to conduct the County's roadside vegetation management program.
While an integrated program attempts to include all aspects of roadside vegetation control, it is also understood that vegetation management concepts and techniques need to address social and environmental issues such as, traffic safety, water quality, threatened and endangered species, wetland protection, native planting, and noxious weed programs. The combined efforts, knowledge, and experience of staff along with involved community representatives continues to improve the ability to practice techniques which enhance the opportunity for of sound stewardship of the environment. The material in this document is an outline of Marion County's goals and policies for the day-to-day operation of the VM Program. 1.1 Vegetation Management Philosophy The philosophy of the Marion County Vegetation Management Program is to embrace sound VM practices which consider safety, statutes, and environmental stewardship. Public safety and integrity of public facilities will be maintained but with careful evaluation of the impacts of disturbance to the watersheds and environment.
A problem, either actual or potential, must first be determined to exist and pose unacceptable risks; a cost benefit analysis of an array of ranges of cost-effective treatment alternatives will be given consideration; the timing of treatments will take into consideration the treatment window for optimum effectiveness and safety. Best management practices will be developed and records will be kept in a GIS data base for roadside maintenance, and the results of treatments will be monitored for effectiveness.
The management techniques utilized may include manual, mechanical, chemical, cultural, and biological methodologies. Those techniques which will likely produce the least long-term disturbance to the natural and human community will be practiced.
The program will be based on four principles:
1. Safety, both for the traveling public.
2. Good stewardship of the environment.
3. Good neighbor to all abutting property owners/residents whose properties are adjacent to the rights-of-way and to those who use the rights-of-way.
4. Maintenance and preservation of public facilities.
Develop a uniform practice for maintenance standards, best management practices, and a GIS database for road side maintenance.
Define desirable roadside vegetation management practices and management goals and control techniques.
Develop vegetation management strategies with the long term goal to reduce maintenance activities through suitable low growth native plantings.
2. VEGETATION MANAGEMENT STANDARDS 2.1 Road Types
Arterial: Link cities, larger towns, and other major traffic generators; provide interstate and inter-county service spaced so that all development areas of the region are within reasonable distance of an arterial; and serve a higher travel density, trip length, and overall travel speed than collector and local systems.
Collector: Provide service to larger towns not directly served by higher classed roads and to other traffic generators of equivalent intra-county importance (including parks, tourist attractions, significant resource areas). Link these places with nearby towns and cities or routes of higher classification.
Local Roads: Primarily provide access to adjacent lands, and provide relatively short travel distances compared to higher classed facilities.
Arterial: Marion County will spray no further than five (5) feet from edge of pavement between the months of March and July.
Collector: Marion County will spray no further than three (3) three feet from edge of pavement between the months of March and July.
Local: Marion County will spray no further than two (2) two feet from edge of pavement between the months of March and July.
Bridges: Eliminate spray on structures located over streams or adjacent to wetlands. Use chemicals approved for use near aquatic resources. Hand spray around structures or riparian areas that require chemical controls. Spraying will occur up to 25 feet from riparian area.
Watershed Maintenance: Applications of herbicides prohibited in the North Fork of the Santiam River and Abiqua Creek watersheds.
Road Brush Maintenance: Maintain shade trees along streams or rivers unless those trees are dangerous trees.
If trees provide shade or bank stabilization within 50 feet of streams and rivers and are determined to be dangerous trees that must be removed, the trees will be removed in consultation with our environmental coordinator. Hedge rows within the County right-of-way on the back side of the ditch will not be brushed providing for habitat shelter except for maintaining sight distance or dangerous tress. Mature trees that are removed will be replaced at a 1:1.5 ratio within the same watershed. Vegetation Management will consult with our environmental coordinator to ensure the trees are planted in an area that will not pose a future threat to Marion County structures.
Bridge Brush Maintenance: Remove brush to 20 feet on either side and under the structure and dispose of brush appropriately. Maintain trees that lean but pose no danger to structure or facility.
Watershed Maintenance (Abiqua and North Fork Santiam): Mechanical mowing, trimming, removing, and disposing of brush, including the cleanup work, to restore sight distance and remove undesirable roadside vegetation. Provide brush buffer from the back slope of the ditch line along significant resource areas except where sight distance is of concern. Maintain sight distance but will limit maintenance mowing from edge of pavement to the catch point of ditch line.
3.1 Roadway Safety
Roadway safety is an important element in the VM Program. The department is committed to the safety of the motoring public, adjacent property owners, and others who use the right-of-way.
Roadway safety includes maintaining sight distance; visibility of signs and other fixtures; maintaining the effectiveness of fog lines; preventing standing water on the roadway; and minimizing icy road conditions.
Sight Distance: Maintaining proper sight distance for motorists is imperative. Sight distance can be reduced by tall or overhanging vegetation or by vegetation otherwise encroaching upon the line of sight of the driver.
Fixture Visibility: Clear visibility of signs, guardrails, and delineator posts is critical where vegetation growth is not adequately controlled. Visibility of fixtures can be impaired resulting in a potentially unsafe situation. Such situations create an increased liability exposure for the County.
3.2 Hazardous Trees
Hazardous trees impose a potential safety concern whenever they occur. These are trees which pose either the threat of injury to motorists, pedestrians, cyclists, or county employees. When there is a threat of falling trees on the roadway under conditions of high winds or saturated soil conditions, Marion County will remove, or work with adjacent land owners, to remove hazardous trees.
3.3 Erosion Control
Erosion control measures can be divided into two basic categories; temporary and permanent. Temporary measures generally apply to techniques employed either during or immediately following construction projects. It is during this time that large expanses of soil and subsoil are exposed to erosive forces, particularly water.
Permanent erosion control measures are those employed throughout the maintenance life of the facility. Planting of permanent erosion control vegetation has a direct bearing on long-term vegetation management requirements. It is consistent with an overall goal of the program to establish low maintenance vegetation by actively planting desirable native species.
4.1 Establishment of Formal "No Spray Areas"
Another public concern which will be taken into consideration is the strongly held desire on the part of some persons to have the right-of-way in front of their property excluded from any kind of chemical application. The County operates a "No Spray Areas" Private Maintenance Agreement Program for the right-of-way adjacent to areas requiring special consideration. The determination of the areas will be made by the Vegetation Foreman based on the following criteria: individual or group requests to exclude the right-of-way adjacent to their property from any chemical applications; or significant environmental constraints, e.g. a threatened or endangered species population.
Pursue the development of a "No Spray Areas" Private Maintenance Agreement Program that also includes planting native plants or low-growth wildflowers.
4.2 Noxious Weed Control
The County will consider control of state-listed noxious weeds within the road rights-of-way as a VM Program element. The County will seek to include biological control methods wherever possible. This will be carried out through cooperation with other agencies and participate in statewide noxious weed programs. Noxious weed control is consistent with the good neighbor and environmental stewardship principles underlying the VM Program.
Where the right-of-way is sufficiently wide enough to accommodate the native vegetation without adversely influencing safety and maintenance considerations, the County will strive to preserve it. The County will protect habitat, to the extent possible, near known populations of threatened and endangered species, whether Federally or State listed.
The County will work to restore native vegetation, where appropriate, when the opportunities arise and the proper seed stocks are available.
This restoration will consist of planting locally-originating native grass and wildflower seeds. The plants must accommodate relevant safety, economic, and ecological considerations. The environmental coordinator will provide consultation on these restoration and preservation activities.
4.4 Wildflowers and Low Maintenance Vegetation
Where native vegetation is inappropriate due to sight line or maintenance constraints, the County will work to establish low maintenance, low growing, grasses and wildflowers. These plants must accommodate relevant safety, economic, and ecological considerations. These consideration include the invasiveness, longevity, growth patterns, aesthetics, and cross-breeding potential of all proposed species. These plants will not be substitutes for the long-term goal of restoring native plants, but will be used in instances when native plants do not fulfill the necessary criteria. The environmental coordinator will provide consultation on these plantings.

Simpson: The Complete Symphonies
7CDs Boxed set (at a special price)CDS44191/7
Movement 1: Andante
Track 1 on CDS44191/7 CD7 [13'25] 7CDs Boxed set (at a special price)
Movement 2: Allegro vivace
Track 2 on CDS44191/7 CD7 [15'27] 7CDs Boxed set (at a special price)
One of the most striking features of the Eleventh Symphony is the chamber-like quality of most of the Andante and of a large part of the finale. Simpson once said that he wished to create a sort of luminosity of texture not unlike that of Sibelius's Sixth Symphony. Indeed, there is a sense of spaciousness and eloquence, reminiscent of much of the slow music from the ninth and tenth symphonies but never expressed with the economy of scoring enjoyed in No 11.
The first movement, Andante, is largely polyphonic in design: its pervasive feeling is one of tenderness and quiet serenity, despite continual shifts of orchestral colour. This is apparent from the work's opening paragraph where a motif on the first violins, which provides the basis for much of the argument throughout the symphony, is answered by oboe and muted horns. The accompaniment is often very sparse, sometimes consisting of a single line. The music evolves slowly, seldom rising above piano, continually transforming the initial violin theme into new patterns. Soon the texture becomes more animated until the whole orchestra reaches a majestic unison C, before the music floats off into an ethereal coda.
The Allegro vivace must surely be one of the longest fast symphonic finales since Mahler's Fifth Symphony. Simpson once suggested that the opening might have 'something of the character of a Mendelssohn scherzo, though I'm not trying to imitate Mendelssohn's language. Anyone who tries to do that is an idiot!'. Certainly the woodwind flickers supported by delicate string pizzicati that launch this movement recall the style of Mendelssohn (the scherzo of the Octet, or the music from A Midsummer Night's Dream), but as the piece gathers steam it is taken over by a more muscular vitality and Beethovenian energy. The final climax is combative, dominated by an insistent B flat, before disappearing on a defiant timpani note in a similar manner to the corresponding part of Simpson's Ninth Symphony. The coda is made up of strange rustling fragments, "until the whole thing ends with a flick of the wrist, as if dismissed" in the words of the composer. So ends one of the greatest symphonic cycles of the twentieth century.
Robert Simpson provided the following additional note prior to the first performance of the Eleventh Symphony conducted by Matthew Taylor with the City of London Sinfonia:
After hearing Matthew Taylor conduct a superbly penetrating performance of my Symphony No 7 with an orchestra mainly consisting of students, I felt an immediate compulsion to compose a symphony for him. It depends on his opinion of that performance of No 7 whether he considers this new symphony a reward or an act of revenge! If the latter, I do not share his views.

AP Fashion Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- During every season of designer previews at New York Fashion Week a few key, quirky items seem to pop up on different runways. They're not quite trends since one has to think they're partly for runway effect not retail orders, but they're part of the style zeitgeist nonetheless.
This time there were fur mittens -- oversized like boxer mitts -- at Alexander Wang and Altuzarra. What were the odds? And how does the ball start rolling on items such as oversized fur mittens, harnesses or sleeveless coats?
It's safe to say designers don't take a meeting together to decide what direction to go in.
"The honest answer is some of it is plain and simple coincidence," said Cindi Leive, editor in chief of Glamour magazine. "These designers are creating hundreds of looks over the course of a season. It would be more unusual if there were no overlap."
Still, she said, there also are fashion cycles and sociological factors to consider as catwalk collections are prepared.
Take fur -- both real and fake. Leive said Sunday it has been on every runway so far on this fourth of eight days of fashion week.
After the recession, no one was touching fur, she said, but it has slowly made a comeback as people feel a little more comfortable about spending money. The interpretation this go-around has been impactful, with an emphasis on oversized unexpected fur touches such as hoods, handbags and boots, but they're not as expensive as a full-length coat.
It's important for fashion insiders to be aware of what's happening in other parts of culture, including politics and art, said Marie Claire executive editor Nina Garcia earlier in the week as she prepared to judge aspiring designers at "Project Runway."
"Successful designers soak it all in," she said.
Fashion week continues in New York through Thursday, when the influential Marc Jacobs closes out things. Runway previews then move on to London, Milan and Paris.
Diane von Furstenberg's "Glam Rock" collection included wrap dresses, long her calling card, jumpsuits and metallic jackets. It also included high-shine silver leather skinny pants.
"The idea is not that it's clothes for a party, but it's clothes. It's life that's a party -- and that was my inspiration," she said in a backstage interview.
She isn't afraid of prints and color, and there were animal prints, angel wings and birds in a sunset palette dotted by rose gold and silver.
Her fall collection had a much less aggressive tone than most of the others. Remember, von Furstenberg is courting the party girl, who'd have places to wear maxi dresses and gold snakeskin jackets. It's chiffon one minute, leather the next.
"Wrapped in a swirl of twisted chain-link, she steps into the night, lights flashing. With an effortless glamour, she winks at herself and smiles at her shadow," von Furstenberg said in her notes.
Donna Karan's DKNY label features a lot of lipstick red and hot pink looks for fall.
Yes, there were tough-girl looks, including a long quilted bomber jacket and a long silk-and-jersey dress with sheer panels in black. But it was the brights, and especially the animal-print brights, that lit up the runway
There was a "heartthrob red" quilted crop top worn over a flowing, long silk dress and a tailored, peak-lapel blazer in "pop pink" over a button-down shirtdress. The animal prints showed off a long tunic-length sweater silhouette.
Colorblocking was freshest when Karan used sophisticated camel, crisp white and downtown black on a paneled parka, and when she mixed gray herringbone, white and black on a flirty dress with a slim bodice, full skirt and soft shoulders.
There were animal prints all over Tracy Reese's fall collection.
A cheetah-print coat opened the show, paired with a black lace shirt and a charcoal pant. The collection also included a cheetah tunic covering a cheetah skirt, a zebra-print trench over a crepe floral dress and an "animal jacquard" coat in tan and black worn over a sequined sweater.
"There are so many cool ways to use animal prints," Reese said backstage. "Subtle and not so subtle. Even in the beading."
Reese said she hoped women would become bolder about mixing prints -- like pairing an animal print with a floral. "Most women like to wear only one print at a time. But I like to mix them, and I wanted to open up the conversation a bit."
Her collection also included a floral-printed neoprene frock in pink, orange and black and a sleek black knee-length number with huge red flowers on it, its dainty shape contrasting nicely with the boldness of the print.

Jesse Eisenberg Recasts Himself As a Playwright in The Revisionist
This is a new article and interview with Jesse about 'The Revisionist':
'Midnight Sun' news
Jesse Eisenberg, Diane Kruger and Emile Hirsch to star in 1940s drama due to shoot this summer.
Jesse Eisenberg, Diane Kruger [pictured] and Emile Hirsch are set to star in 1940s atomic bomb drama Midnight Sun, which London-based sales outfit WestEnd Film has snapped up pre-EFM. The Film Sales Company handles US.
Actor-director Chris Eigeman (Turn the River) has written the script and will direct with Captivate Entertainment's Ben Smith and Jeffrey Weiner (The Bourne Legacy) producing with Eric Morris.
Set in 1943, the drama follows two young post graduates recruited by the US Government to work on a top-secret project in New Mexico. Along with one of the students' new wife, they drop their jazz-filled lives in New York and move to a secret community of scientists in the desert.
Andrew Herwitz and Julianne Hausler executive produce, while Richard Rhodes, winner of the Pulitzer prize for book The Making of the Atomic Bomb, is an advisor on the project.
Principal photography is scheduled to get underway in summer 2013.
Dakota Fanning Watched Sarsgaard And Eisenberg Skinny Dip In Hot Springs
Conservative actress Dakota Fanning was forced to sit and watch her Night Moves co-stars Peter Sarsgaard and Jesse Eisenberg get naked during a skinny-dipping trip in Oregon – because she refused to join in the naked fun.
The trio were in Oregon shooting the drama last year (12) when Sarsgaard suggested they check out one of the state's famous hot springs nearby.
The stars didn't pack their bathing suits, so the Green Lantern star and Eisenberg jumped in naked – however, bashful Fanning admits she was too embarrassed to do anything but watch.
She tells Glamour magazine, "I don't do enough adventurous things, because I'm like, 'I might get hurt.' But when we were doing Night Moves, Peter, Jesse, and I went to these hot springs in Oregon, and I didn't have a bathing suit. The woman who worked there said, 'Oh, not a problem. Clothing's optional after 8pm.' And I was like, 'Whoa. No, no, no! Not doing that. Here. With any of you!'
"So we went in there, and everyone was so comfortable being naked. They were so free. I just sat there and begged to go back to the hotel… It was really fun. I just wanted to have a bathing suit on."
And the beauty admits she sometimes wishes she was more adventurous like her younger sister, actress Elle Fanning: "By nature I'm kind of a reserved person. Something I admire about my sister is that she's very free and just lives life like no one is watching her."

Registering Your Copyrighted Music by Jesse Eisenberg
Often, artists fail to release their music due to a lack of confidence over song protection. Protecting music can take many directions. The copyrighting process itself is automatic. The moment you take a blank piece of paper and scribble down your song – whether that song is notes, lyrics, or both, it legally carries copyright protection.
But having your song registered with SongRegisteration.com offers you an excellent layer of protection for your music. SongRegisteration documents your material, thus providing essential evidence of one's "tangible-form" date. This is done by registering and maintaining the material in their own time-stamped archives and database.
When you go through this registering process, you are documenting your original material with a professional, credible private registration service – a well-established company, whose parent company was started in 1975! SongRegistration acts to certify when your original material was submitted, the date, and by whom. These are critical elements in any copyright dispute and is very important considering that nowadays, if your music gains popularity, it is more likely to be redistributed without credit or used in ways that you may not authorize. It is for these reasons that you should always register your music.
If you are unsure how to protect music, registering your song is super important. It is also critical that you register with a reputable music registration service, such as SongRegistration.com, to avoid unscrupulous dealers, scammers, and fly-by-night businesses flocking the market today (SongRegistration has earned an A+ business rating with the only internationally-recognized business rating service).
The bottom line is "Better safe than sorry"! So the next time you write a song, take the proper precautions by registering your music with SongRegistration. Once you visit the site, an expert team of registrars is always available to help you through the registration process. And if during the process you find anything unclear, contact what has been called "The Best Customer Support on the Planet."
Registering your music with SongRegistration not only saves time, but also effort and money. It takes very little to register your songs with this one-stop platform. And you are guaranteed an easy time going through the entire process, whether you have just one song to register, or hundreds!
When should you call a plumber
Airdrie Plumbing is one of the most important home improvement facets that any homeowner cannot afford to ignore. While you can fix some plumbing problems by yourself, others require services of a professional plumber. Here is a brief insight on when you should you call a plumber in Airdrie such as myrkr.
Some plumbing problems can wait. However, others may create so many problems in the house and make life miserable if they are not fixed immediately. In this case, calling a professional plumber is as right as rain. This is because since they are specialists at their work, you expect them to provide speedy and reliable solution to your problem. Here are some plumbing emergencies that require immediate action by a professional plumber.
Main line stoppage. If you are experiencing low water pressure throughout the house, the main line may be in fault. On top of being a plumbing emergency, fixing this problem requires sophisticated equipment that the homeowner may not have.
Toilet repair. Obviously, if the toilet is in fault, it needs to be repaired within the shortest time possible because of the inconveniences that come with it.
Sewer line stoppage. A blocked sewerage system may become a breeding place for disease causing microorganisms, leading to outbreaks of various diseases
Extensive water line damage. Water is life. Immediate repair of a faulty waterline is thus unavoidable.
Appliance defects.
Frozen pipes.
Lack of hot water in the house.
Shower valve replacement.
Tub replacement
In cases where permits are required.
Some plumbing problems do not feature in the Do-it yourself plumbing list because they are associated with permit and license requirements. This is because they are crucial to the daily lives of the home occupants and they may attract a possible lawsuit if they are not properly fixed. Some of these problems include:
· Moving existing plumbing fixtures. If you intent to shift the position of your current plumbing fixtures to a completely new location, you need a professional plumber who is licensed to operate in your jurisdiction.
· Remodeling the bathroom. The bathroom is the second busiest room in the house after the kitchen. For this reason, its remodeling should be taken with the seriousness it deserves.
· Adding a new gas line. Mishandling of gas lines can lead to fatal fires which could lead to death and destruction. This is why this is a problem that needs the attention of a plumber in order for it to be fixed successfully.
In a nutshell, some plumbing problems need to be handled by a professional plumber to avoid the "square peg in a round hole" situation. Though they can be broadly categorized into emergency and those requiring permits, it is also important to call a plumber if you lack the necessary tools to handle a simple do-it-yourself plumbing problem. Actually, you can just let plumbers do the donkeywork for you whenever you experience any plumbing problems.

Paderewski – His earliest recordings
APR6006 for the price of 1 — Download only
No 3: Chant d'amour
No 4: Thème cracovien varié
In a July 1928 article in The Musical Mirror, the British composer Alec Rowley described Chant d'amour as '… a gem of the first water. A ravishing melody, with harmonies that thrill …'. The 1907–8 Paderewski concert tour programme contained the following analytical notes by H E Krehbiel:
The piece is in the key of G flat, and is marked by a formal feature of an original nature. The principal melody dies away in a cadenza in D flat which leads to a middle part of a duet-like character, which, after working itself up to an impassioned climax, gives way to a return of the first theme by means of the same cadenza, this time in G flat. (Paderewski Archives 258, Archiwum Akt Nowych, Warsaw)
Chant d'amour was first published in 1903 by C F Peters, Leipzig, and dedicated to Julia Appleton Fuller. Because of mistakes in several editions, the G Schirmer edition of 1908, with the composer's own fingering, is the most reliable.
The Thème cracovien varié is based on the delightful melody of the Polish folksong Bartoszu, Bartoszu, written in a Polish krakowiak dance form.
The text of this song is both patriotic and religious in nature. The title is the Polish vocative case of the surname 'Bartos', referring to Wojciech Bartos, a hero of the Battle of Raclawice. This victory for the Poles, led by Tadeusz Kosciuszko, was fought against their Russian oppressors in April 1794. Thus, the folksong is sometimes referred to as the Kosciuszko Krakowiak. The words can be translated to mean:
Bartos, Bartos, do not give up hope.
God will bless us and save the Fatherland.
There, on the hill, look to God.
His love is greater than the power of the enemy.
The piece, which begins and ends in the key of G major, is a set of nine variations on this theme. There is a gradual increase of tempo in the first five variations: Allegretto moderato; Con grazia, un pochettino più animato; Più mosso; Leggiero e veloce; and Molto vivace. The fifth variation is also marked by a change to compound duple metre and staccato articulation. A sudden change of tempo, metre, key and mood takes place in the sixth variation as the composer modulates to the key of G minor, switches to compound triple metre, gives the tempo marking as Andante con moto and replaces the staccato articulation with the markings sempre legato and ben cantato. Another sudden change of tempo takes place in variation 7 (Con moto). Here the composer returns to duple metre and uses the opening figure of the theme in canonic imitation, briefly modulating to B minor before ending in G minor. In variation 8 (Allegretto capriccioso, ma non vivace), Stojowski returns to the original key of G major, changes to triple metre and switches the dance form to a mazurka. Variation 9 (Allegro vivo) is the longest and most developed of the set and forms an effective coda for the work. The opening motif is masterfully braided into a semiquaver configuration heard throughout. Here the harmonies are more complex than those used in previous variations, and the melodic progression is strongly chromatic.
A radio recording of the composer performing this work, dated 15 October 1944, can be found on the LP Desmar 115 released by International Piano Archives in 1976. Thème cracovien varié was first published in 1903 by C F Peters, Leipzig, and is dedicated to Marie Panthès-Kutner.

BALTIMORE (AP) -- Joe Flacco as Johnny Unitas.
The Ravens' quarterback says he'll play the part of Baltimore's greatest quarterback, former Colts star Johnny Unitas, in an upcoming movie entitled "Unitas We Stand."
The movie is being co-produced by Joe Unitas, the late quarterback's son.
He tells WBAL-TV that Flacco will portray Unitas in scenes of the 1958 NFL championship game, in which Unitas led the Colts to victory over the New York Giants. The game at Yankee Stadium ended in sudden-death overtime and has been called the greatest NFL game ever played.
Flacco, who led the Ravens to a Super Bowl victory in February and was the game's MVP, said on Twitter that he's excited by the opportunity.
Filming is scheduled to start this summer.

Too early to declare winners on banking strategy
A few years ago a senior investment banker was on holiday on a remote Scottish island. With no mobile phone reception and desperate for news from the City, he walked for miles to the island's only post office to buy a newspaper. When he finally got there, he found that the only newspapers available were a day old. "I'd like to buy today's newspaper, please," he said to the shopkeeper. "Well I'm afraid you'll have to come back tomorrow," she replied.

Egyptians divided over new constitution
Almost two years after the start of the revolution, Egyptians will soon vote on a new constitution. But from the outset, liberals and secularists have been against the text, saying that the Assembly that drafted it is dominated by Islamists. There are also complaints the text has been rushed through to bring an end to the political crisis. But the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party says only a "Yes" vote can bring stability to Egypt.
