That's a really good idea the only problem I have with that is some people might complain about the noise. But that would not stop me from posting it and seeing what kind of feed back I get from other users.

This is a really good idea as well as an even greater cause. But the one thing that just dawned on me is....Sony isnt actually doing any content development in Home nowadays.
They initially created and added some spaces and content items and then managed to lure some developers and slowly began phasing out their personal Home development it appears.
For example some of the earlier developers onboard were EA (which left), LOOT (a Sony subsidiary I believe) and even Irem (now Granzella). Now the names and faces have changed and they are more inclined to allow other developers create the content which is a smart business move because they get a cut, plus the licensing and developer kit fees without having to pay out of their own pockets to have a development team dedicated to Home content.
I think you should shop this idea around with other developers, or even better yet to other companies.
Sony may have issues with licensing theatrically released content that isnt under the Columbia/Sony/Screen Gems umbrella.
Ahhhh that song is a classic! Brings back some 80's type memories lol. It's kind of wierd when you think about it, the second Back to the Future movie takes place in 2015. Were almost there and I still don't see any flying cars or hover skateboards. But I guess there's still time left for that, because there's still 2 years to go.

Dude I want the future diner as a personal space. The one with Max Headroom on TV and the future Pepsis
Omg that would be so awesome. Or just make a whole Hill Valley public space, like the main plaza/park area. Now that would jsut be something..
They going to make Back to the Future a space in home? Therr should be more things from the 80's on home. I would've bought hoover board on home but it wasn't sold separately, unless I missed something.
The game itself, is really fun.
Just a few idea's of items that could be made for Home
Let's peer into the psyche of this individual known as BTTF 123. First off, his screen name is an acronym for "Back to the Future 1,2 and 3."
Can anyone think of anything else?

Would you like to wake up one day and feel more beautiful and better about your body? Most people would answer, "Yes!" Perhaps you think that improving your body image virtually overnight may sound a little far-fetched. However, this scenario may not be quite as impossible as it sounds.

Flaky Itchy Scalp Shampoo
Customer ReviewsAdd review
72 Review(s)
Great shampoo By Shane
For years I was having to use a prescription scalp treatment with hydrocortisone, then I discovered Philip Kingsley flaky itchy scalp shampoo and for a year now have not had to use any prescription medicated products on my scalp, yes it's expensive compared to other shampoos but in my opinion it's well worth the money. A great product, I only hope it never changes or disappears... Posted on 2014-08-01
All I Can Use Now! By Lizzy
I have tried shampoo after shampoo to try and calm my irritable scalp and this is the only one that has helped! After the first use I was relieved and no longer feel conscious of a flaky scalp. All down to the product and would recommend to anyone! Posted on 2014-06-17
Best for my hair and scalp By Pauline Holford
I have used PK shampoo & conditioner for well over a year now and it is really good. On occasions I have run out and used my old shampoo and I can feel the difference straight away, I try not to run out and buy the 1000mls. Great products & worth every penny. Posted on 2014-03-17
Thanks for your Flakey Itchy range By Elaine Utting
Yes, like everyone else, every other shampoo I've tried leaves my scalp sore and itchy, even a slight reaction with Philip Kingsley Body Building range. But no reaction with this shampoo and conditioner, which is such a relief. Posted on 2014-02-15
Loves this product! By Angela
I have been using Philip Kingsley Shampoo, conditioner + other for 14 years. When I developed alopecia and lost a lot of my hair, I visited PK clinic, where I was seen by a consultant & had treatment, I was advised to use these products and I first thought they were expensive, but they are worth every penny. I have tried switching due to cost, but always go back. Never trying another product again. best shampoo on the market. By my products direct or at John Lewis (same price) Posted on 2014-02-12

Kipling and the Sea (Hardback)

KIPLING may be best known as a commentator on the British Empire, but he was also a vivid observer and chronicler of the sea - and of ships and all who sailed in them. For him the sea was the glue which bound the British Empire together. To reach distant lands, you needed to sail. So Kipling wrote copiously about his own voyages - to India, across the Pacific and Atlantic, down to South Africa and Australia - and about the voyages of others. Sailors were particular heroes of his, as adventurers who braved every kind of element and danger in order to reach distant lands. In writing about them, he was enthralled by the romance of the sea, touching on everything from pirates to technical changes in ships. His output reflected his deep historical understanding, so he could write equally about three sailors reminiscing about their shipwreck with St Paul off Malta in 66ad and a ship on fire in the Indian Ocean. He was also a great advocate of the navy. He wrote about its exploits, customs, history and contemporary role in a variety of different forms. At all stages of his life Kipling peppered his many letters with observations about the sea, encompassing his own voyages and his other nautical interests. Edited and with a commentary by Kipling expert and author of the much praised Kipling Abroad, Kipling and the Sea illuminates a side of Kipling's work that has for too long languished in the shadows.

If you ever need a reminder that all those rose-tinted remembrances of the pre-internet music industry do not account for the full story, look no further than Steve Albini's seminal 1993 essay for The Baffler. It's called, simply, "The Problem With Music." In it, Albini details the flaws of the major-label music system in actual numbers and simple math — something that's not done often enough in trade and consumer publications alike when it comes to how musicians actually make their money. … Read More

Hannah Hart may have a YouTube show-turned-small media empire and brand new cookbook called My Drunk Kitchen, but over the course of a hour-long interview at Tom and Jerry's bar in Soho, she wasn't sipping anything. True to the ethos of her show, she may have looked like the biggest lush in the room, with two red-hot cocktails (because cocktail number one got spilled and the bartender made her another) and a ginger beer sitting in front of her. But she didn't take a sip, and wasn't particularly interested in the drink. She was too busy talking and joking. … Read More

Moreover, he's apparently been paying attention to online memes and using them as inspiration for more than just the greatest single art of all time. … Read More

|Braves' Davies shuts down Mets, hits three-run homer
|Written by Admin
|Tuesday, 22 May 2007 22:31
He crossed the plate, received a few high-fives from his Atlanta Braves teammates - and still didn't smile.
``I still had to go out there and pitch,'' the right-hander said with a big grin after an 8-1 victory over the New York Mets on Tuesday night.
Davies pitched eight strong innings and turned the game into a rout with a three-run homer over the center-field wall as the Braves closed within 1 1/2 games of the Mets in the NL East.
Davies, a .096 career hitter, used to bat cleanup, right behind Braves teammate Jeff Francoeur - but that was when they were on the same youth team.
``Kyle was probably the greatest 13-year-old hitter I've ever seen,'' Francoeur said with a smile. ``But times change.''
Davies (2-2) allowed only six hits, but his biggest splash came in the sixth when he drove a 3-1 fastball from Aaron Sele over the 400-foot sign, clearing the wall with plenty to spare.
``When you're a pitcher, you have to get lucky,'' said Davies, who found the ball waiting at his locker when he got to the clubhouse. ``If he had thrown it anywhere else, I probably would have missed it.''
In other NL games, it was: St. Louis 9, Pittsburgh 4; Florida 5, Philadelphia 3; Washington 8, Cincinnati 4; Colorado 3, Arizona 1; San Francisco 4, Houston 2; San Diego 5, Chicago 1; and Los Angeles 3, Milwaukee 2.
Davies went 1-for-23 in 2006, the lone hit being a homer. His three-run drive off Sele snapped an 0-for-13 start to this season.
``Once in a blue moon, he'll connect for one,'' Francoeur said, making sure to speak loud enough for Davies to hear.
The Braves beat the Mets for the fifth time in seven meetings - by knocking around one of its former starters. Jorge Sosa (3-1) surrendered six hits, walked three and was charged with five runs in four innings.
Atlanta scored two runs apiece in the second and third, then Scott Thorman homered in the fourth.
Handed the big lead, Davies put together another strong start to solidify his spot in the Braves' thin rotation.
``He seems to make a pitch when he has to,'' Mets manager Willie Randolph said. ``We got men in scoring position, and he seemed to make a pitch to get out of it.''
Cardinals 9, Pirates 4
Adam Wainwright (4-3) allowed nine hits and two runs in 5 1-3 innings and hit a two-run double, helping St. Louis end a five-game losing streak.
Chris Duncan's three-run homer in the sixth, the team's major league-low fifth this month and their first at home since April 28, put the game away.
The Cardinals knocked out Zach Duke (1-5) in the fifth.
Marlins 5, Phillies 3
At Miami, Miguel Cabrera's triple paced a sixth-inning rally against Cole Hamels, and Florida extended its winning streak to a season-high four games.
Hamels (6-2) had a 3-1 lead before allowing four runs in the sixth and failed to become the NL's first seven-game winner. For the third time in the past week, the Phillies squandered a chance to climb above .500 for the first time.
Scott Olsen (4-3) allowed three runs in six innings for his first win in four starts.
Nationals 8, Reds 4
Felipe Lopez hit a grand slam in the eighth inning against his former team, rallying visiting Washington.
Lopez connected for his third career grand slam off left-hander Jon Coutlangus (2-1), snapping a 4-all tie. He matched his career high with six RBIs, and Washington's eight runs were a season high.
Jesus Colome (4-0) took over in the seventh inning and got the win.
Rockies 3, Diamondbacks 1
Troy Tulowitzki hit a tiebreaking RBI double in the top of the ninth to help visiting Colorado get the win.
Garrett Atkins drew a leadoff walk against Brandon Lyon (3-2) in the ninth and was replaced by pinch-runner Jamey Carroll. Tulowitzki, hitless in three at-bats with two strikeouts against Arizona starter Livan Hernandez, followed with a liner just inside the right-field line to drive in Carroll.
Manuel Corpas (1-2) pitched the eighth for the win, allowing one hit and one walk. Brian Fuentes worked the ninth for his 12th save.
Giants 4, Astros 2
At San Francisco, Barry Bonds drew two more intentional walks and stayed stuck at 745 home runs, and Ray Durham drove in runs after both free passes to the Giants slugger.
Rookie Tim Lincecum (2-0) allowed two runs and five hits in eight innings in his fourth major league start to beat Houston's Roy Oswalt (6-3) in their second meeting in six days. Armando Benitez finished for his ninth save.
Padres 5, Cubs 1
Jake Peavy allowed one run in six solid innings and Mike Cameron hit two of San Diego's four homers.
Peavy (6-1) held the Cubs to four hits and struck out six as he moved into a tie for the NL lead in wins and lowered his league-leading ERA to 1.63.
Kevin Kouzmanoff and Adrian Gonzalez also homered for the Padres. All four homers came against Rich Hill (4-4), who has lost four of five decisions since opening the season 3-0.
Trevor Hoffman got two outs for his 12th save, and 494th of his career.
Dodgers 3, Brewers 2
At Los Angeles, Randy Wolf allowed three hits in seven innings, Russell Martin hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the fourth, and the Dodgers snapped a season-high four-game losing streak.
Wolf (6-3), making his 200th career start, walked three and struck out four before being relieved by Jonathan Broxton to start the eighth. Takashi Saito pitched a scoreless ninth for his 14th save, and his 24th in a row dating to last season.
Ben Sheets (4-3) took the loss.

This news release includes forward-looking statements and information within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Readers are advised to review the "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information and Statements" at the conclusion of this news release. For information regarding the presentation of certain information in this news release, see "Currency, BOE and Operational Information" at the conclusion of this news release.
CALGARY, Dec. 10, 2012 /CNW/ - Enerplus Corporation ("Enerplus") (TSX: ERF) (NYSE: ERF) announces guidance for 2013 and the acquisition of additional low decline, light oil interests in Montana.
Acquisition of Bakken Interests in Montana
Consistent with our strategy of consolidating core positions within our portfolio, Enerplus has agreed to enter into an agreement to acquire an additional 20% working interest in our operated leases in the Sleeping Giant area in the Elm Coulee field in Richland County, Montana for approximately US$131 million (approximately US$121 million after estimated closing adjustments of US$10 million). By investing approximately half of the proceeds from the sale of our Manitoba assets, we expect to replace the sold production, improve the concentration of our asset base and improve our operating metrics.
The acquisition is complementary to our existing operations in Sleeping Giant where we currently own an operated 70% working interest. This is a mature light oil property with an average decline rate of 14%. Our internal reserves assessment has identified a total of 6.2 million BOE of proved plus probable reserves associated with the acquisition and daily production of approximately 1,550 BOE/day (both of which are weighted 80% to light crude oil). The transaction has attractive acquisition metrics of 4.2 times annual funds flow after estimated closing adjustments, $23.00/BOE of proved plus probable reserves including future development capital and is expected to be 4% accretive to funds flow in 2013 (2% on a debt-adjusted basis). This light oil property has current netbacks of approximately $50/BOE with low operating costs averaging $5.50/BOE in 2012. We do not expect any increases in general and administrative costs as a result of the acquisition.
We believe there is additional upside potential in this field through production optimization, refracs and limited infill drilling. With approximately 400 million barrels of original oil in place on our operated leases, we are also evaluating the potential for enhanced oil recovery schemes as the current reserve bookings results in a 14% recovery factor. The total crude oil recovered to date is approximately 8%. We anticipate closing the acquisition mid-December, after which Enerplus will own a 90% working interest in the operated leases with production of approximately 7,300 BOE/day. We expect a modest level of capital spending at Sleeping Giant in 2013.
Guidance for 2013
In addition, the Board of Directors of Enerplus has approved a capital spending program for 2013. Highlights of the program are as follows:
- We expect to deliver funds flow growth of over 11% in 2013. On a debt-adjusted basis, funds flow is expected to grow by 6% per share. This growth, along with a current yield of approximately 8%, aligns with our long-term business strategy of providing an attractive total return to investors comprised of both growth and income.
- We are targeting a capital program of $685 million, 20% lower than our estimated spending in 2012, which more closely balances our capital spending and dividends with funds flow.
- We expect production to average between 82,000 BOE/day and 85,000 BOE/day, which at the mid-point of the range, would represent a 2% increase over our estimated 2012 average daily production after adjusting for our recent acquisition and divestment activities. Based upon current cost structures and the commodity price outlook for both crude oil and natural gas in 2013, we believe this is an appropriate level of production growth. We plan to continue to pursue acquisition opportunities in core areas and rationalize non-core assets to enhance our portfolio and profitability.
- With an expected increase in funds flow, combined with a reduced capital spending program and maintenance of our dividend, we expect our adjusted pay-out ratio to improve to approximately 130% net of our Stock Dividend Program ("SDP"). We intend to continue to focus our portfolio and improve our cost structure to enhance the sustainability of our business.
- We have successfully managed our balance sheet throughout 2012. We continue to pursue joint venture opportunities and non-core asset sales in an effort to allow us to enhance shareholder value. Our debt to funds flow ratio is expected to be 1.9 times at the end of 2013 based upon current forward market commodity prices, our estimate of production and costs and before any additional acquisition or divestment activities
- We remain committed to providing a meaningful dividend to investors. Given the steps we have proactively taken to improve the sustainability of our business including the sale of non-core assets and reducing our capital spending plans, we currently have no plans to adjust our monthly dividend. We will continue to review dividend levels in the context of commodity prices, capital spending, cost structures and debt levels.
Summary Guidance*
|Capital Expenditures ($millions)
|Annual Average Daily Production (BOE/day)
|82,000 - 85,000
|Oil & Liquids Weighting

|Oil & Liquids Weighting
|Adjusted Payout Ratio**
|Debt/Funds Flow at Year-End
Based upon forward commodity prices and forecast costs as of November 26, 2012 including the impact of hedging and does not include any acquisition or divestment activities not previously announced. Based upon our current capital spending plans for Q42012, forecast YE2012 debt is approximately $1.1 billion
** Adjusted payout ratio is calculated as the sum of dividends paid to shareholders, net of participation in the Stock Dividend Plan, plus capital expenditures divided by funds flow. See "Non-GAAP Measures" below.
Capital Spending
We are targeting a capital spending program of $685 million in 2013. Through this spending, we expect to offset our corporate production decline rate of approximately 24% and grow production modestly by 2%. Approximately 85% of our program is currently planned to be directed to oil and liquids rich natural gas projects, with over 75% directed specifically to crude oil projects. Our capital program is based upon delivering a minimum internal rate of return of 25%.
The Fort Berthold region of North Dakota has delivered significant light oil production growth for Enerplus over the past two years. Through our 2012 drilling program, we have effectively managed our lease expirations in the region and grown production to approximately 14,000 BOE/day during the month of November. We expect to reduce capital spending by 25% to approximately $340 million next year as we focus on improving our costs and efficiencies while still delivering production growth. We're forecasting average daily production growth of 30% next year over expected 2012 average volumes. We plan to run a two-rig program targeting both the Bakken and Three Forks formations and expect to drill, complete and bring on-stream between 20 to 25 net wells at Fort Berthold next year. The majority of these wells will be long horizontal wells. We expect non-operating spending will represent approximately 15% of our total spending in this area in 2013.
We expect to continue to invest in our oil waterflood properties in Canada next year targeting a capital spending program of approximately $160 million similar to 2012 levels. Under our planned spending, we will continue to invest in drilling projects at Freda Lake in Saskatchewan and Medicine Hat, Giltedge and Pembina in Alberta. Waterflood optimization will remain a focus area as we continue to balance drilling activity with our pressure maintenance programs to effectively manage performance from these fields. Our volumes are expected to be modestly impacted next year as we plan to curtail approximately 400 BOE/day and 2 MMcf/day of natural gas at Pembina early in the first quarter as part of this on-going program. We anticipate that these volumes will be recovered over the course of the next 6 to18 months and believe this will result in better long-term recoveries. Finally, we plan to continue to advance on our existing polymer projects at Medicine Hat and Giltedge. Overall we have been encouraged by the performance of these projects. We plan to evaluate performance over the course of next year and if performance continues as we expect, would be in a position to consider expansion of the program.
We plan to reduce capital spending in the Marcellus region by over 50% to $80 million in 2013 directed to non-operated drilling projects in the northeast region of Pennsylvania. Through this drilling program, we expect to have retained the majority of what we believe to be core non-operated acreage by the end of 2013. We expect continued production growth from 55 MMcf/day currently to roughly 75 MMcf/day as we exit 2013. Given the lower operating costs associated with this production ($0.75/Mcf) and NYMEX based pricing, operating netbacks are currently averaging approximately $2.00/Mcf. As a result, our Marcellus production is expected to contribute to the increase in funds flow in 2013. We anticipate that 25% of our corporate natural gas production volumes will be attributable to the Marcellus in 2013. We continue to see positive results from our drilling program despite the delays associated with infrastructure in the region.
We expect to continue investing in the Deep Basin region in 2013 on both our operated and non-operated leases. Approximately $75 million will be allocated to develop natural gas projects with associated liquids. Based upon our success in the Wilrich play in Alberta in 2012, we are planning an additional 3 to 5 wells next year.
Approximately 75% of our capital spending is expected to be directed to drilling projects with around 90 net wells planned in 2013 with 80 net wells brought on-stream throughout the year. The program is weighted to the first half of the year with about one third of the capital planned for investment in the first quarter. We expect that approximately 75% of our capital spending will be directed to properties where we control the pace and level of spending. We expect to allocate less than $30 million to delineate our undeveloped acreage in 2013.
|2013 Capital Spending Breakdown
($ millions)
|Development Drilling & Completions
|Exploration & Seismic
We expect to review our capital spending program on a regular basis throughout the year in the context of prevailing commodity prices, economic conditions and cost structures and may modify our spending plans as required.
Production Growth
We are forecasting average daily production of 82,000 to 85,000 BOE/day in 2013, a 2% increase over our estimated 2012 average daily production after adjusting for our recent acquisition and divestment activities. Crude oil production is expected to increase in 2013, averaging 38,000 bbls/day, up 2.5% from 2012. Oil production in the Fort Berthold region of North Dakota is expected to grow again in 2013 but at a slower pace than in 2012 given the reduced capital spending plans. Natural gas and natural gas liquids volumes are expected to remain flat year-over-year. The additional natural gas volumes associated with our 2012 Marcellus drilling program are anticipated to come on-stream during the first half of 2013 and are expected to offset the decline in our Canadian conventional natural gas properties. Total natural gas production is expected to average approximately 250 MMcf/day. Approximately 75% of our total production will be operated by Enerplus.
As we plan to spend a greater proportion of our capital spending in the first half of 2013, and given the variability and timing of our non-operated spending, we expect exit production in 2013 to range between 84,000 and 88,000 BOE/day.
Current Daily Production
Daily production during the month of November 2012 is estimated to be 86,000 BOE/day. Given the slow-down in drilling activity, we expect December production will be similar.
Operating costs are expected to average $10.70/BOE, unchanged from 2012 and general and administrative expenses are expected to average $3.40/BOE, up marginally from 2012. We expect our average royalty rate will increase slightly in 2013 due to an improvement in the natural gas price outlook and the increase in production associated with our U.S. operations which have higher royalty rates than our Canadian operations. Royalties are expected to average 21% of revenues. We have sufficient tax pools to shelter our funds flow in Canada in 2013 and beyond, and we expect U.S. cash taxes to be approximately 3% of our U.S. cash flow.
|2013 Forecast Expenses
|Operating Costs ($/BOE)
|Cash General & Administrative Expenses ($/BOE)
|Non-cash General & Administrative Expenses ($/BOE)
|Cash Taxes ($MM)
|Interest Expense ($MM)
Funds Flow Growth
Based upon current forward commodity prices, we expect funds flow to grow in 2013 by 6% per debt-adjusted share. Improvements in natural gas prices as well as the growing NYMEX based natural gas production in the Marcellus are key factors contributing to this expected growth. Our hedging program is expected to provide support to this increase as we have 57% of our anticipated net oil production volumes hedged at a price of US$100.84 per barrel and 12% of our projected net natural gas volumes swapped at a fixed price of $3.63/Mcf and a further 11% of our projected net natural gas production hedged with put protection at $3.17/Mcf. We estimate that approximately 75% of the net operating income will be generated from our oil plays.

|Change of 1,000 BOE/day production
|Change of $0.01 in the US$/CDN$ exchange rate
Financial Flexibility
We have preserved our financial flexibility throughout 2012 through the sale of non-core assets, issuance of long-term debt and a reduction in our dividend. We expect to exit 2012 with a debt-to-funds flow ratio of 1.8 times which we anticipate is at the low end of our peer group. Our adjusted pay-out ratio is expected to drop significantly in 2013 to approximately 130% net of the participation in the SDP. In the context of current commodity prices, we expect a debt-funded shortfall of $200 million (funds flow including participation in the SDP less capital spending and dividends). We expect to continue to divest of non-core assets to offset our funding shortfall and to improve the concentration and focus within our portfolio. Our debt to funds flow ratio is expected to be 1.9 times at the end of 2013 before consideration of any joint venture, asset sale or acquisition activities.

Currency, BOE and Operational Information
All dollar amounts or references to "$" in this news release are in Canadian dollars unless specified otherwise. Enerplus has adopted the standard of 6 Mcf:1 BOE when converting natural gas to BOEs. BOEs may be misleading particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of 6 Mcf:1 BOE is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value. Unless otherwise stated, all oil and gas production information and estimates are presented on a gross basis, before deducting royalty interests.

The major cloud platforms defy a simple, side-by-side analysis. Each of the major IaaS public-cloud platforms offers their own unique strengths and functionality. Options for on-site private cloud are diverse as well, and must be designed and deployed while taking existing legacy architecture and infrastructure into account. Then the reality is that most enterprises are embarking on a hybrid cloud strategy and programs.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.

Financing a 'qualitative shift'? Saudi to spend additional $21 billion on overhaul of educational system
Saudi Arabia will spend an additional SR80 billion ($21.3 billion) to overhaul the kingdom's education system under a five-year plan, a report said.
The plan, approved by King Abdullah, includes building of 1,500 nursery schools, training of about 25,000 teachers, and establishing educational centres and other related projects, the Arab News report said quoting Education Minister Prince Khaled Al-Faisal.
He said the SR80 billion was an additional allocation to the country's education budget.
King Abdullah has also approved an executive plan for a public education development project named after him.
Prince Khaled said the King Abdullah project would bring about qualitative improvement in education, to benefit present and future generations.
The executive plan covers the provision of education through the private sector, linking schools with a broadband Internet system, smart classrooms, computer systems for e-education needs, setting up specialized schools, support for clubs, construction of new buildings, renovation and maintenance of existing schools, and enhancing safety systems, the report said.
"The king has also agreed to set up an endowment to support public education," the prince said. This would enable the ministry to have an independent financial source to cover additional expenses, thus easing pressure on the national budget, he said.

Firefighting: A family tradition for the Bassett clan
The Bassett family - represented by Richard, Nicholas, Richard, Frank, Kate Bassett Winter, Russell, Arlene and Carroll - is the first family to receive the Award for Outstanding Service to Forest Fire Protection. (COURTESY)
"They deserve it," he said.
The family tradition of becoming firefighters started with Raymond K. Bassett of Sandown when he was appointed a Deputy Forest Fire Warden in 1923. Raymond and his wife had 16 children, many of which also became firefighters, along with their children and their children.
"We are part of the community, and this is what you do for neighbors," Carroll said.
For Carroll's wife Arlene, what would be extraordinary for anyone else has become common.
Instead of giving him a hard time, Bassett III said his family was supportive and encouraging.

Now That's What I Call New Pop!
By Jess Harvell , September 12, 2005
40. Dollar: "Give Me Back My Heart"
Released: March 1982
Chart peak: UK #4, U.S. N/A
Dollar were an impossibly daft pop duo comprised of David Paul Van Day, who went on to run a hot dog truck, and Thereza Lorraine Bazar, who looked like Leeza Gibbons in a shag haircut and marching band outfit. In the spirit of most impossibly daft pop duos, Dollar sold a stupid amount of records and bothered the charts for a few years before failure to penetrate the top 100 suggested they were going the way of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band. By 1981, Trevor Horn was, if not a laughing stock, certainly not taken very seriously, a prog refugee who had briefly attempted to "go new wave" with the Buggles before just giving up the ghost entirely and joining Yes. (Yes, that Yes.)
After leaving Yes, Horn chose to go into production full-time. (His Buggles partner, Geoff Downes, went on to join Asia.) Though a washed-up Europop duo and a washed up prog boffin aren't the most likely pairing to spark a revolution, it was pretty much what happened. Ironically, it was probably Horn's prog know-how which enabled his "superhuman" studio sound, but instead of scoring epic, orchestral compositions, he funnelled his knowledge into three-minute pop singles and became the biggest producer in England almost overnight.
39. OMD: "Enola Gay"
Released: October 1980
Chart peak: UK #8, U.S. #34 (Club Play)
OMD would go on to swallow middle-American teens whole with stuff like "If You Leave", but this was their first top 10 hit in the UK and Europe, at a time when they were still trading in political statements and arty album packaging. Written and recorded in the aftermath of Margaret Thatcher's election and the policies that would essentially make the UK a beachhead for nuclear hostilities between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, "Enola Gay" is a strange mix of the subtle and overblown. The band makes no explicit anti-nuclear, anti-Thatcher references. Instead it throws the history of Hiroshima over incredibly tarty synthpop, chilling and thrilling and utterly daft, the kind of mutant the era demanded.
38. Culture Club: "Time (The Clock of the Heart)"
Released: November 1982
Chart peak: UK #3, U.S. #2
Boy George started out as a new romantic scenster, a sort of early '80s Warhol superstar, more known for being than doing. After being hired and then summarily fired from Bow Wow Wow by Malcom McLaren, he vowed revenge. And of course he succeeded, becoming far bigger than BWW ever were, smiling impishly from the cover of Rolling Stone. "Time" may not be their best single. If it never trawls the cutie pie depths of "I'll Tumble 4 Ya", then perhaps it's a little too unerringly tasteful, from the non-stick production values to the sax solo. Still, it does illustrate how perilous the veneration of surface was in new pop. Waiting on the other side of the looking glass was Spandau Ballet's "True", and everything that followed in its wake-- when slick curdles to schlock.
37. Simple Minds: "Promised You a Miracle"
Released: April 1982
Chart peak: UK #13, U.S. #65 (Club Play)
Simple Minds were another band who would pump up their new pop sound on a regimen of stadium heavy lifting and an Atkins diet of classic rock maneuvers to conquer the charts of America in the late '80s. They were possibly the most art-rock of them all at the outset, skipping nodes between knowing Roxy Eurodisco and dramarama chest-thumping boy's own adventure. Eventually, however, they decided to shift to writing songs for the radio rather than sporting arenas of the mind. "Promised You a Miracle" is one of the first results and, yes, it's exultant, triumphant, shimmering clouds of guitar, sunshafts through mountain passes, all that. But there's also a song in there, and that makes all the difference. These guys had absolute no taste though: Can you believe Jim Kerr actually doesn't like "Don't You (Forget About Me)"?
36. U2: "I Will Follow"
Released: October 1980
Chart peak: UK N/A, U.S. #20 (Mainstream Rock)
Of course, no one followed the OMD/Simple Minds route to bigger success than Macphisto & co. For those under 30 it's next to impossible to remember a time when they weren't the biggest rock band in the world. But-- before Brian Eno, Bo Diddley, and Bono's mullet-- there was actually some competition between U2 and Simple Minds, the Bunnymen, et al. for the stadium hearts of the UK. Even then, though, you could probably suss out who was going to come out on top. Mostly it was that ringing, choppy guitar riff on "I Will Follow", their fourth single. And the chorus is pretty good, too.
35. Wham!: "Wham! Rap"
Released: January 1983
Chart peak: UK #8, U.S. N/A
Of all the bands on this list, Wham! were the least punk. New pop let a lot of former indie bands in through the back door, but it was also when the crass, bottle-tanned barbarians stormed the "Top of the Pops" studios and kicked the leftover '70s dinosaurs out the door with a big cartoon boot. "Wham! Rap" is exactly what it says on the tin and almost as ghastly (George Michael is not exactly Rakim), kind of like Bow Wow Wow buffed to a hi-gloss shine. But its ghastliness is what gives it a slight edge of rebellion-- how dare they?-- and what elevates it beyond the neon short-shorted horrors they would soon be responsible for.
34. John Foxx: "Burning Car"
Released: July 1980
Chart peak: UK #35, U.S. N/A
As lead singer for Bowie impersonators Ultravox before they blew up with the execrable "Vienna", Foxx is a true synth-pop pioneer, namechecked now by everyone from Adult. to the Junior Boys. If anything, was responsible for the disenchanted Euro-vox of electroclash (Y chromosome division), it was Foxx and his solo albums like 1980s classic Metamatic. Over a grinding vision of Kraftwerk, Foxx drones on about the titular object, a feature of urban wastelands everywhere by that time, something left out of Kwerk's autobahn utopia. The anti-Marc Almond, Foxx makes The Man Who Fell to Earth sound like Charles Nelson Reilly, though it's a contest to see which sounds more disinterested, Foxx or his machines. Critics are quick to distance electronic music from the "emotionless" epithet, but Foxx made an art out of it.
33. Depeche Mode: "Just Can't Get Enough"
Released: September 1981
Chart peak: UK #8, U.S. #26 (Club Play)
Though they went to become the biggest stadium goth band of the '80s (well, tied with the Cure, anyway), the early Depeche Mode singles were pure synth-pop. Though I love plenty they did after discovering the joys of heavy handed bible references, there's a definite charm to their first records, like if Sabbath had power-pop singles hiding in their closet. The secret weapon is Vince Clarke-- soon to leave to form Yazoo and then Erasure, more or less dominating "that English queer shit" for the rest of the decade-- who constructs synth melodies so bouncy they might as well be Superballs.
32. Echo & The Bunnymen: "A Promise"
Released: July 1981
Chart peak: UK #49, U.S. N/A
The Bunnymen grew out of the Crucial Three, an aptly named group that contained Ian McCulloch and two other key Liverpudlian figures in new pop/new rock, Pete Wylie of Wah! Heat and Julian Cope of the Teardrop Explodes. The Bunnymen were stars in the UK, but they were roundly destroyed in the U.S. by the band the British music press frequently threw them up against, U2. McCulloch was never going to have the charisma of a Bono (or the shamelessness to pull all of the asinine American rock moves Bono did to become a star), but early Echo trumps early U2 nearly every time. "A Promise" is not exactly pop-- too dark, too dense-- but it's definitely not rock.
31. The Teardrop Explodes: "Reward"
Released: January 1981
Chart peak: UK #6, U.S. N/A
Though he's best known (and beloved) now as music's resident druid archivist of esoterica, there was a point and time when Julian Cope was actually concerned with making the pop charts. "[Post-punk] is getting to be like the early seventies again where you had the hippies into all their weird music," he told the NME at the time, a statement rife with irony now. And he was pulling it off to boot. "Bless my cotton socks, I'm in the news," he sings on the opening of "Reward", possibly the most ridiculous pop couplet ever written. But "Reward" is actually a snippy commentary on pop stardom in the great post-punk tradition. The sound though: over thundering bass and drums, "Reward" has a brass section tooting out blasts of golden light. Like Dexys Midnight Runners, the Teardrop Explodes had brass that sounded, well, brassy, reintroducing the kind of horns to pop that hadn't been fashionable for years.

Occasionally, I manage to "rediscover" supplemental exercises that seem to add a lot to my training. You could say I'm just dumb to lose them in the first place, but hey, that happens when you get older...
Here are a few that I've "rediscovered" lately:
*Snatch-Grip Romanian Deadlifts: This exercise really is the ****. It hammers everything in the posterior chain. I don't hesitate to use straps on this so I can go heavy and I also don't hesitate to use a little more leg drive when things start to get too tough to maintain picture perfect form.
*Saxon Side Bends: This one too. You think you're getting pretty strong when you are doing regular side bends w. 120s, but then you pick up a pair of 10s, put them overhead and try some Saxons and it kicks your arse... Definately not an exercise that allows for arrogance.
*Lunges: If you are like me, you can very easily fall into the rut of just doing plain-old PL squats...ALL THE TIME. Not bad, but you're probably neglecting some things. The last time I "rediscovered" these, I figured 135 shouldn't be too bad - I was wrong.
*Close Grip Bench Press: I know, I know. You're all thinking "Huh? What kind of fool doesn't include CGBP?". That fool would be me... For me, chain work, band pushdowns, board press, etc. was just not giving me the base that CGBP gives. I won't make the mistake of eliminating them from my training ever again.

It's a bit hard to get used to, but it's not a bad ship. Overall, it appears that this ship has more power to all of the subsystems than my Fleet Tactical Escort Retrofit (most likely because of the Zero-Point Energy Conduit).
In comparison, this ship has about 3-4k more hull and about 1.5k more shields. But, at the cost of less flight speed (26 instead of 28) and a lot less turn rate (28 instead of 42). Even with the significantly less turn rate, it still turns pretty well.
I'll probably stick with my Fleet Tactical Escort Retrofit, but if I wanted a ship to use for the sake of having something else to fly, I suppose this would be the ship.
I like an all cannon build, but I think having 4 turrets on the aft may affect my power regen rate. So, I think it's best to use something that will only activate when I'm not firing my fore.
If you're using the Borg Assimilated Module, why not replace the rear-mounted phaser array with a Kinetic Cutting Beam for the 2-set Omega Weapon Amplifier? The latter gives you a Nadion Inversion / near-zero weapon energy weapon drain for maximum DPS every few seconds. EDIT: You can also replace the RCS with a Tachyokinetic Converter for better turn rate and improved criticals.

The RevFire Baseball Package is a spin metering tool that measures the speed and spin rate of baseballs. Pitchers respond well to instant objective feedback. With the RevFire Baseball Package they can more quickly learn techniques that produce the best breaking ball. Rather than trying to overpower the ball to impress a radar gun pointed at them, the pitchers focus on the proper release mechanics required to achieve strong rotation. They gain an awareness of spin and a motivation to improve their stats relative to their peers. Effective breaking ball pitchers can provide hard RevFire metrics to college and professional recruiters. Coaches can evaluate pitching ability and technique with hard numbers, gain new insight into training methods, identify pitchers whose spin fades as they tire, and see who's breaking ball is 'on' in the bullpen. The fact that the RevFire Spin Metering Tool does not have to be held in line with the pitch and pointed at the pitcher changes the dynamics of pitching instruction. Subtle RevFire speed and spin measurement can be done by the coach out of the line of sight of the pitcher. The Rev Fire also adds a powerful new dimension to pitching prospect evaluation.
The Rev Fire Baseball Package includes a case can hold up to 3 RevFire baseballs. The baseballs are official size and weight Collegiate construction leather balls with a yarn wound core typical of regulation balls. The Rev-Fire monitor displays speed in MPH and spin in revolutions per second (RPS) and can be used with RevFire baseballs and softballs. The AA batteries (included) will provide many hours of use and may require replacement only once a season. RevFire balls have black and red stitching and are not for hitting or game play.
