In this video review Autoexpress tests the BMW M135i against the Mercedes A45 AMG – with a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine it's going to be a stern rival for the BMW.
The BMW gets a six-cylinder engine, revs to 7000rpm but peak torque is at just 1300rpm, so it has instant power. It does come in manual, but we've got the eight-speed automatic gearbox. Autoexpress took it around our track in just 1 minute 14 seconds.
Chris Harris gives us his thoughts on the M135i hatchback versus the Mercedes A45 AMG hatchback. Winner? View inside.
Review by a BIMMERPOST member comparing his M135i hatchback to the A45 AMG hatchback following a test drive.
The Hong Kong BMW M135i Owners Group had a gathering over the weekend which saw a great turnout — 10 x M135i, 4 x 328i (F30), 1 x GTR, 1 x E36, 1 x Evo and 2 x M135i that met up later.

Hydrogel is widely used to study how mechanical stimulations affect the growth and behavior of cells. Currently we fabricate polyacrylamide gels on which breast stem and cancer cells grow, and these hydrogel substrates can have either uniform or varying stiffness. Thus, the mechanical property of the hydrogel substrates needs to be characterized rigorously. We seek one undergraduate student researcher with background in science and engineering to help with all aspects of research.
Student researchers will be involved in the saline wetland restoration project, and will develop and lead their own research experiment.
Research period can be either summer 2015 or academic year of 2015.
Our lab webpage: http://burginlab.weebly.com/ For Saline wetland restoration program:
Research in our lab focuses on the mechanisms of virus replication and antiviral RNA silencing. RNA silencing is a mechanism of gene regulation with essential roles in growth, development, genome maintenance, and response to biotic and abiotic stress. In plants RNA silencing is the main antiviral defense system. All viruses have an RNA component potentially exposed to silencing. How does the cell distinguish self from viral RNA? The mechanisms responsible for recognition of viral RNA by the silencing machinery are not known.
Work in areas of robotics and mechatronic systems and design. Areas of work include design, assembly, and testing.
Research in my lab focuses on the identification and characterization of genes and signal transduction pathways involved in plant immunity against microbial pathogens, particularly the roles and molecular mechanism by which the ubiquitination system regulates host defense responses in plants. The long-term goal of our research is to elucidate and eventually manipulate for crop improvement the key molecular mechanisms that plants use to defend themselves against different biotic and abiotic stresses.
This research project explores the identity and diversity of soil organisms in native and agricultural plant communities across North America. We use light and scanning electron microscopy combined with DNA barcoding to characterize plant- parasitic nematodes. All research data associated with nematode species are added to a customized database, geographically mapped, and incorporated into our Plant and Insect Parasitic Nematode web site. Student researchers will be involved all phases of the research, from field collection to DNA analysis. Applicants with GIS experience preferred.
Prepare samples for stable carbon isotope analysis in labs at UNL. Samples are from ancient soils collected in Wyoming and New Mexico. The goal is to identify intervals of carbon cycle disturbance, which often coincide with climate change. Applicants should be geoscience majors or have a strong interest in geology.

I might be on the verge of becoming a modern version of a Luddite.
Last week, I ran across a story that Facebook wants to add a "feature" to its smartphone app that would allow it to use our phone's microphone to listen in on our environment and post updates for us based on the context it derives from the sounds.
It's scary enough to think the technology has become advanced enough to discern that, say, I am watching an episode of Person of Interest—I use the example very purposefully—but that they want us to give up that level of privacy, and millions will, is downright frightening.
Meanwhile, Google is pushing the boundaries of machine consciousness with its Google Glass product. With the vast amount of data that company has accumulated (think Google Street View and Google Earth) and burgeoning technologies, such as facial recognition, it is not hard to envision a not too distant dystopian future where nothing is private.
I am reaching a point that I just don't know enough about technology to be comfortable with it. It is especially uncomfortable because a little more than a decade ago, I probably knew more about it than 99 per cent of people. I used to build and manage secure networks. I went to the big security conferences, even attending the hackers' convention, the Black Hat Briefings, in Vegas one year. I used to attack my own networks to discover their vulnerabilities. Now, I barely know what my own phone is doing behind my back, but I am pretty sure there is way more stuff about me out there in "the cloud" than I would willingly share except by the tacit act of not being able to keep up with the implications of my online activities any more.
And it is not just the social media and apps we use that are collecting data on us. Every bank, retailer, hotel, credit card company and charity organization we deal with have stores of information on our consumer habits.
All of this is couched in the beneficence of personalizing our experience of the world and making everything more convenient. Maybe I am just getting old, but I don't want to live in a Minority Report world where even billboards change their message to suit my perceived consumerism.
Even political parties probably know more about us than we would probably want them to. The Conservative CIMS database contains information about millions of Canadians, and not just their own members and donors, derived from various sources. If you've ever had a phone call from them or seen a campaigner on the doorstep and told them you'd rather eat nails that vote for them it's in there. Even if you've never had direct contact, they still may have information like age, gender, living arrangement, religious affiliation and what tree-hugging organization you belong to that helps them target whether you are worth the time to court.
The NDP's system is almost as sophisticated and, although the Liberals are playing catch up, they are in the game too.
What is worse, is the political parties are specifically exempt from both the Privacy Act that governs what information governments and government organizations can collect about you and the Personal Information and Protection of Electronic Documents Act that regulates the private sector.
I always get a little bit of a chuckle out of people who opt to go "off the grid," not in a bad way, it just seems a little quirky. But with all of issues surrounding privacy these days, particularly the revelations about our own government spying on us in public places and requesting subscriber data from our ISPs without a warrant, the off-the-grid crowd may be the sanest among us.
I probably won't do anything that drastic, but don't be surprised if I disappear from social media. I just don't think I know enough any longer to be a responsible user of communications technology.

BONHAM, Tex. -- A Bonham man is behind bars after sheriff's deputies found an operational indoor marijuana garden in his home.
Levi Jordan Stroud, 23, was arrested and charged with delivery of marijuana over five pounds and unlawful possession of a criminal instrument.
Investigators say Stroud was caught carrying several large items into the home, all of which were used to grow marijuana.
When a warrant was issued, officials found 28 plants, more than five pounds of marijuana, a loaded handgun and over $1,000 in cash.
"He was in the process of raising marijuana inside the home. He had a nice little setup going [using] very expensive lighting and had a pump system," Fannin County Sheriff Kenneth Moore said.
His bond has been set for over $25,000.

Following a major catastrophic event or economic collapse, we'll call it post-SHTF, the plethora of cars we have in everyday society will quickly become useless. Whether its immediate, as a result of an EMP, or delayed as liquid fuel either runs out or goes bad, the bottom line is that we will have a lot of vehicles sitting around doing nothing. That is unless we plan to use those vehicles for a variety of alternate uses. The following is an outline of basic alternative uses of vehicles in a post-SHTF world:
- Greenhouse: Each spring, unless you live in a very warm climate, many preppers begin to sprout seeds to extend the growing season. However, even many preppers will not have had the time or resources to build a greenhouse prior to the poo hitting. This is where a vehicle can come in great use as a makeshift greenhouse. Simply park the vehicle with the front windshield towards the south and place your trays of seed starts across the dash board and on elevated platforms on the front seats. Just make sure that you open the windows as necessary to keep the temperature in check. The ideal greenhouse temperature is around 80 degrees, although cool weather vegetables like beets, broccoli, cauliflower, chard, kohlrabi, lettuce, and spinach germinate best at temperatures between 40 and 75 degrees. Depending on how early you start your seeds, you may also have the bring the trays inside at night to protect them from temperatures below 40 degrees as the inside of the vehicle will quickly match air temperature after sunset. One final consideration is a little breeze, which seedlings need from time to time in order to develop thick stems.
- Dehydrator: In a post-SHTF world, most people will find themselves busy attempting to preserve their garden bounty in order to survive the winter. A vehicle makes an excellent solar dehydrator! Simply park the vehicle with the front windshield to the south and prop up window screens (or similar material) from the dash to the front seatback. The windows should be cracked to allow moisture to escape via convection, but the vehicle should be allowed to get quit hot. You may need to place screen over the cracked windows to keep disease spreading flies and other bugs from getting inside. You are now ready to dehydrate all of your fruits and veggies on the screened trays.
Listening Post Outpost (LPOP): Security will be a major concern for most preppers post-SHTF and a non-working vehicle would make a great location from which you could monitor the far corners of your property. Preferrably, you should pick a dark colored vehicle for this purpose to aid in camouflage and any shiny surfaces should be removed or painted. Additional camouflaging material, like brush, would also be necessary. It may be advisable to keep some mirrors in place to aid those on security detail in maintaining 360 degree awareness. Keep windows rolled down to allow for listening as well.
Energy & Mechanicals
- Battery: Don't let all the 12 volt batteries in those dead cars around you post-SHTF go to waste. Most car batteries will last quit a long time if they are maintained properly, which means keeping the water levels up and preventing full discharges. Keep a bottle of distilled water on hand as part of your preps and use that water to periodically "top off" the levels by removing the caps on the top of the battery and pouring in a little as necessary. The water level should be just at the bottom of the refill hole without overflowing. Keep in mind, this water inside the batteries has sulfuric acid and will burn your skin. In addition, car batteries should not be completely discharged when they are used to power devices. A complete discharge is very bad for the longevity of a car battery.
- Alternators: Car alternators should be removed from any abandoned vehicle post-SHTF as they will be a valuable source of energy in the future. An alternator can be hooked to a bike, wind turbine, water wheel, etc. to produce 12 volt DC for charging batteries and subsequently powering devices. Keep in mind that some modern alternators have a built in regulator to maintain constant voltage with changes in revolutions while others rely on external regulators that would be mounted separate inside the vehicle.
- Water Pump & Radiator: Most vehicles also contain 12 volt centrifugal pumps to circulate coolant through the radiator system. These pumps can be used, together with the radiators, in a variety of 12 volt powered solar heating systems. Radiators can be placed inside solar collectors and the pump used to transfer that heat indoors via hoses filled with coolant.
While I am sure there are a large number of additional uses for vehicles in a world without fuel… this list will hopefully get your creative juices flowing. Make abandoned vehicles a part of your resource plan, but keep in mind… use those last few drops of fuel to position them for whatever use you ultimately intend.

This jib pivot slide system was tested on a 26' racing boat for several years. I met the guy that did it online when he saw my original posts on this idea for rc boats. In addition, I tested models using it for three-four years. The high aspect masthead square top jib was tested on models and on my 16 footer. Seems like it will be very effective based on that testing.

Doug Why is it better to have the jib luff to leeward? I always thought that It was better to have the tack to windward, I suppose mainly to reduce sheet loads (Lugs, lateen,swing rigs, junks ,wings). I guess because your jib arrangement is balanced anyway,you feel that a leeward luff allows the jib to be sheeted in more without back winding the main ,or is it that the such a high aspect jibs main function is to keep the laminar flow attached to the critical leading edge of the main and you feel that this is done more effectively with the luff to leeward?
Timothy, the jib luff is right on the centerline like any other jib. Look at the pictures above including the model. Here is another picture of the 16 using the same type of jib w/o the sliding pivot:

Trapwing 15-planing versions
This post and its associated sketches pretty well define the planing hull version of the Trapwing concept. It is designed to be able to be configured in both a high power Turbo version, with numbers reflective of very powerfull skiffs, and in a less powerfull, less demanding version that will still be able to plane upwind with crew weights from 120 to 180 with maximum crew weight up to 220. The sailing configuration is also changeable from a "sit-in" arrangement for a single crew sitting in the center to sitting on the rail in special carbon seats(with backs and cushions) that simply plug in and are easily removable.
The 15 is the result of lots of experimenting and research into moderate and high performance planing versions of this concept-a concept that allows less athletic people to use on-deck movable ballast to experience the thrill of sailing a planing hull boat. Comments and suggestions welcome....

Somehow I doubt you really want to solicit feedback, perhaps it would be simpler to ask for unthinking support and validation. Twenty seven out of thirty five posts in this thread are your own.
Doug, this concept depends exclusively on a complex mechanical gizmo for it basic safety. If the trapwing fails, there is no way this boat will remain upright, given the potentially very powerful rig. To meet mathematical ratios necessary for upwind planing, the rig power is way out of proportion for operating with a trapwing failure. Given there is no option for hiking, this means a trapwing failure means capsize without recovery.
I've seen International Canoes with broken sliding seats, and they are not sailable or paddle-able. And on an IC, were talking about a highly mobile crew at a very high skill level.
Although the trapwing concept does provide a potentially valid answer to adding righting moment for mobility challenged (or plain lazy) crew, the lack of safety margin renders it unacceptable to me, and I'd hazard a guess it would be unacceptable to insurance carriers.
The biggest problem I see is that you are making the trapwing concept the PRIMARY and only righting moment contributor. The concept makes a lot more sense as a secondary aid. Putting buoyancy at the ends of the trapwing is only a failure mode asset if it is fixed in position, like a trimaran's amas. The complexity of the trapwing, the fact it is intended to move side to side, and the lack of margin for error is why I think the concept is unacceptable.
I know you don't agree with anyone who doesn't agree with you, and I really don't want to hear you "refute" these points with the same nonsense you've repeated over the years. The only acceptable argument you can post is pictures of the thing actually working, and a statement from an insurance company that they would underwrite a policy on the boat for use by the intended audience. Deeds, not words.
Trapwing 15
I welcome constructive criticism, suggestions or ideas. Some posts are presented with a "tone" that I may find objectionable coming ,as they many times do, with no technical grounds or references and coupled with a great deal of presumption. I appreciate them all, however, especially critical posts similar to those I quoted from Steve Clark. All of them help to think this out to one degree or another. I will answer all of them to the best of my ability.
From posts 20 & 34:
--The cockpit is self-bailing and the boat will be self-righting though a turbo version w/o the keel will be
experimented with.
-- The boat allows "sit-inside" control(as well as a fixed side to side removable rail seat with seat back and different rigs).
-- The trapwing concept has been experimented with in model testing for over 10 years-there has never been a failure. As with any other boat, if this boat was to be introduced into production the full size version would undergo exhaustive testing of systems overseen by a marine engineer and naval architect. At present the plan is to build the 15 for my own personal use and testing.
-- The safety margin is designed in and is greater than that found on a keelboat(the keel might break or fall off) and is greater than that found on any multihull or performance dinghy of normal design. Again, this would be backed up by rigorous testing before a production version was introduced.
-- the part that I agree with from post 35: "..the trapwing concept does provide a potentially valid answer to adding righting moment for mobility challenged (or plain lazy) crew...."

I did point out that the trapwing concept may be a better idea as a SECONDARY aid to righting moment. Perhaps you have not considered that fixed buoyancy pods (amas actually) combined with your trapwing idea would be safer, have greater failure recovery and may still meet your performance goals. This would also reduce complexity dramatically and make things a lot more reliable.
I'm not against the idea of the trapwing, I'm against the idea of the trapwing as primary righting moment provider and as only active failure recovery method. Complexity is the enemy of reliability.
Rather than consider only the radical PRIMARY path forward, why not consider the incremental path forward where you cover your bets a little more carefully?
Sounds like a tri to me and was considered early on. However, the system that will be used has been tested in models for a long time, as I mentioned above. And all that testing and experimenting led to the conclusion that the sliding wing with buoyancy pods at the ends represents the way to proceed with full scale testing-with significant advantages over a tri with fixed amas and movable ballast. Much was learned including the use of the combination of fixed keel and sliding on-deck ballast(trapwing) supported by trapeze wires, athwartship pivoting and its relationship to keeping the lee side of the wing clear of the water and the importance of F&A movement of the wing. The design elements that permit the simple trailering of the system, and the major elements of the structural design were tested in the models for functionality and improved over the years. It's time for full size testing in a boat that will serve as a pre-production prototype. I had initially wanted to carry this testing out on a 21' platform that will serve other experimental purposes as well. I have been persuaded that this concept should be evaluated with a design specifically developed for the Trapwing-hence the 15-and a possible 10' version. Full size testing is bound to refine the design even more and help to make it a simple ,exciting boat to sail without the requirement of athletic prowess. Ease of sailing and high performance are the essence of the concept but there are numerous levels of performance to be explored during testing. The Trapwing should be a lot of fun to sail with the crew having RM at their fingertips-it surely was a blast in model testing.
The performance advantages of the concept for a singlehanded sailor are potentially very exciting in all conditions. One of the most important characteristics of this concept is that the crew weight range is extremely wide since the crew adds nothing to RM-something like 120lb to 220 lb.

Trapwing 15
This was posted earlier in this thread but it sums up the advantages of a planing version of the Trapwing concept so well that I thought it was appropo to quote it here since it was done before I had finalized a planing design-the 15:
"One of the main themes of this design concept is that the resulting boat can be a self-righting keelboat. I was intrigued by the K1 concept( Neat Singlehanded Keelboat from UK ) where the designer chose a narrow waterline semi-circular section hull that was designed to be sailed heeled instead of flat like most planing hull dinghies. The Bongo is an example of a small keelboat with a planing hull. I've never really thought that was a good way to go because in order to plane the Bongo must be sailed flat which means that the keel bulb is not developing any RM. And while I like the K1 and the designers thinking I don't think it comes close to an easy to sail keelboat along the lines of a 2.4 meter. And no way are either the Bongo or the K1 "high performance".
The beauty of the Trapwing system seems to me to be that on a boat with a planing hull that has the power to plane in 10k or under it can be sailed flat upwind and downwind and can be designed to plane upwind and downwind.
And high performance with a self-righting capability thanks to the design of the movable ballast wing and a bulb keel. Also, since the weight in/on the wing and the wing itself is moving to develop righting moment the crew is not taxed physically and can sail the boat with the ease of a 2.4 meter but with much more performance. I don't think there is a small keelboat anywhere that offers all this and that makes it extremely attractive to me.
The advantages as I see them:
1) easy to sail by almost any weight sailor.
2) self-righting
3) high performance-planing upwind and downwind
4) variable wing ballast-moved manually or electrically
5) two seating options-a.sit in and, b. side to side
6) reefable rig

Of course, I'm sure you read that the boat (non-turbo version) includes a fixed keel as back up and to right the boat from a pitchpole should that ever occur.
From the research I've done the trapwing system on a dinghy is far less complex than a canting keel(that has no backup)-and "safer" than any 'keel-only' boat for that matter. And again, the safety margin is designed in and would be backed up by thorough testing giving 100% confidence in the system.
Interestingly, Dave Trude( 2.4 meter sailor and webmaster at SA) has said he would sail the boat. He'd said that a couple of years ago and repeated it the other day. He also recommended another guy he thought might be interested and who lives in Florida. So there is interest and a lot of help available when it comes time to evaluate the concept from both the ablebodied and disabled perspectives.
This thing offers tremendous potential for high performance sailing without the athleticism normally associated with that kind of sailing-and is bound to create a great deal of excitement as people begin to experience it first hand.

With no hostility attached here, Doug... Just which of the many boats you have going, as "in development" projects, are you actually working on at the moment?
I'm seeing you go back and forth from 60 foot Moth, to C-Class Hydrop style foiler, to Trapwing I and II, to DSS this and People's Foiler That, to test bed 21 foot foiler-trapper-ballasted-winged-Dr. Sam exercise to.... the next cool concept from your imagination. ;-)
Truthfully, I'm just a bit more than confused about all this. Personally, I have four different design projects going on myself right now, though they are each much less complex than the above mentioned craft and they are, best of all, projects that have been requested by paying customers. Still, each time I sit down to the computer and sketch pad, I have to reacquaint myself with the details of each project, or I tend to crash around a bit before returning to smooth efficiency of purpose.
Which one of these boats of yours is actually going forward with a build by you, or anybody else? Do you have a priority involved here, or is it all just sort of blobbing along as one big amalgam. Are there any photos you can share with all of us that show the boat being built and best of all... do you have a launch date that we can look forward to with anticipation?
Call me confused, but all this seems to be just a bit tangled for my typically messy organization abilities and I'd like to bring it into focus a bit better.
To the extent they can be(will be) those questions have already been answered in this thread and other threads.

Major Breakthru!!! Trapwing Proto
Thanks to Dave Trude ,I have made the acquaintance of one of the most respected coaches and boat builders involved with disabled sailing in the USA.
He is a well known championship sailor in many classes including the Lightning and several others.
Part of the good news is that he thinks the Trapwing concept has great potential-he loves the concept. The other part is that he will help to develop the boat.
With this encouragement I have decided to drop everything and concentrate 100% on the Trapwing prototype which will be based on an already existing hull and will resemble the 15 but be a couple of feet longer. I will devote myself to making this concept a reality and with help from Mark and Dave make it suitable for disabled sailing. All of us think it can be done and, if we do it, result in a remarkable new way to sail for ablebodied and disabled sailors. For a lot of reasons this has become the most important development project I have ever worked on with its potential to help thousands of sailors enjoy a new kind of sailing not yet seen on this planet. Thanks, guys!
Pictures of a model of the new prototype will ,hopefully, be up in a week or less.

A model is a long way from "wasting time"! A model helps to identify problems ahead of time and helps to visualize the way things work. I've built a model for almost every boat I've designed and built-it's a very usefull excercise.
The prototype is being built on an existing hull of a design of mine for which the original model exists. The "new" model will result from modifications made to the old model in about the same way it will be done full size and that will be a big help.

Tavern on the Green is the latest restaurant to give Wild Edibles the heave-ho, according to a press release sent out by Brandworkers, the pro-union non-profit that had previously gotten Keith McNallys and Danny Meyers restaurants to drop the beleaguered seafood provider (through dubious means, some say). With a recent $2.2 million sexual-harassment settlement on its hands plus a scathing roman clef in the works, its not like Tavern on the Green needed more controversy. The press release makes clear that just because Wild Edibles recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy doesnt mean Brandworkers is letting up. The company continues to operate its business as it works its way out of bankruptcy, reads the release. The Wild Edibles workers have vowed to continue the campaign until they win the respect they are seeking.
Tavern on the Green Is Latest to Drop Wild Edibles

How Many Days In Ramadan?
A muslim adult fasts 28 whole days in Ramadan. He is in sound mind and body all throughout. He has nothing to make up.
Can this be?
(Yes, this is a riddle. Now quit asking stupid questions and get your thinking caps on)

He travelled to another country, or went somewhere where ramadhan started earlier, does he have to make up the missing fast or not?

Re: How Many Days In Ramadan?
In the case of traveling, he would not be able get away with less than 29 days i.e he would have to make up.
The scenario is that the people are not sure whether Ramadan has started so they do not fast because you are not allowed to fast the day of doubt. The following morning news comes that the crescent was sighted the night before. They are required to stop eating for the rest of the day and fast the remainder of the month. If the month is 29 days then this means you have only fasted 28 whole days.
According to the majority of scholars you have to make up for that first day since you did not make the intention from fajr, so upon this the riddle does not work. It does, however, work if you take the opinion of ibn Taimiya who says that you do not need to make up for it because the intention follows the knowledge. If you did not have knowledge that the month has started then you obviously can not have the intention to fast. You did what you were required to do (not to fast the day of doubt and then refrain when the knowledge reaches you) therefore there is nothing else binding upon you. The end result is that you have fasted 28 whole days only.

4-2-05- A seven year old child was killed and five others seriously injured when a Jeep SUV flipped over on Highway 199 in Marshall County Saturday. The accident happened about three miles east of Madill.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says all six occupants were ejected in yesterday's crash. The patrol says Kaylynn Prestridge was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, which happened about 5 pm about three miles east of Madill on state highway 199.
The OHP says the driver of the vehicle -- 36 year old PhillipPrestridge of Oklahoma City -- was arguing with a passenger in the front seat -- 32 year old Barbara Kelly -- when Kelly attempted to jump out of the moving vehicle.
The patrol says when Phillip Prestridge and Kelly's 9 year old daughter -- Rikki Lynn Bell -- tried to stop her, the driver lost control of the vehicle, ran off the road and struck an embankment.
Phillip Prestridge, Barbara Kelly, Rikki Bell, and 13 year old Randi Kelly all were airlifted to area hospitals and listed in critical condition. A sixth passenger -- 14 year old Kimberly Tabor-- was listed in fair condition at the University of Oklahoma Medical Center in Oklahoma City.

'The Avengers': New Trailer Reveals Bigger Battles, More Hulk (Video)
The latest clip from the Joss Whedon-helmed superhero epic provides a better sketch of the world-threatening events and plenty of shots of Mark Ruffalo as the new Hulk.
When Marvel and Disney released a teaser trailer for The Avengers, it was downloaded 10 million times in the first 24 hours on iTunes, setting a record as the most-viewed trailer. (The record was then shattered by The Dark Knight Rises teaser.)
Now as Marvel and Disney begin the real push for the comic book movie that kicks off the blockbuster season when it opens May 4, the companies have released the first full-on trailer.
PHOTOS: 'The Avengers' Film Stills
There was some fan backlash around the Super Bowl spot for being too short, for making fans go online to see more, and for not showing enough.
But "Wow" is one way to describe the new trailer.
Borrowing techniques from trailers for Inception and Transformers: Dark of the Moon, it right away sets up a world-threatening event, set up ominous pulsating music, and gives us a sketch of our heroes, not all of whom are eager to be heroes.
PHOTOS: 'The Avengers' -- Comics vs. Film
There are classic comic book moments of our heroes – Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Captain America (Chris Evans) and Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) -- fighting each other and a great moment of the human population bowing (to Loki? Not clear at this point.)
The trailer also offers us plenty of shots of the Hulk and Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner, something that had only been hinted at and soothing fans who were nervous of how the third incarnation of the jade giant in a decade would come off.
New record anyone?

Here at Grazia Daily we've made no secret of our girl crush on Shingai Shoniwa – lead singer of Noisettes (super catchy pop like Wild Young Hearts and Don't Upset the Rhythm) not just because we're humming their tunes but because she has a wardrobe that demands to be taken seriously.
From her sparkily inventive use of vintage pieces to her stepping out in barely-off-the-runway clothes from London designers, her confident style has inspired a trail of imitators. Lucky old Grazia Daily got the chance to quiz her last week and pump her for all her style secrets . . .
What are you doing out in LA? Are you based there now or are you recording or touring out there? "We're just doing promo. Yeah – interviews shoots, press. The timings in the State are behind those in the UK so we're only starting to introduce the album (Wild Young Hearts) out here at the moment. They do things so differently out here as well, so we're getting to see how all that works. We've been doing different versions of Don't Upset the Rhythm – a remix with Wale and Estelle doing a rap on it. We've done shoots for loads of different magazines and we're really enjoying all the collaborations and bits and pieces. We did a song that was in [movie mogul] Harvey Weinstein's film Nine and then we played at his party after the Grammy's, and we played at the HBO party.
How have you been received by the American people? Are you getting a positive response to your style and personality?
Oh, absolutely! We're absolutely loving it! There's a real resurgence and a renaissance of flamboyance in pop music. We've got amazing allies keeping pop crazy like Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and now my old mate Paloma [Faith]! – Did you know we used to be flatmates? Me and her used to go down the pub and drink pints with Adele and talk about how we were all gonna be famous, and then slag each other off in the press and have these like, fake arguments!" And now we all are!
You should really have a feud then, shouldn't you?
What, start one off?
Yes, you could shake things up a bit!
Yeah. She stole my clothes! Well, with us two sharing a flat, you can imagine we pretty much lived in each other's pockets. Can you imagine our 1930's Billie Holliday parties and our 1980s Diana Ross parties?
I bet the neighbours absolutely loved living next door to that! Let's talk about fashion. You've been a big supporter of young, London designers like David Koma and Hannah Marshal. Who else are you a fan of? Well, I love Nathan Jenden. We've collaborated on things with him already. And Ashley Isham. And also my friend Amechi, I think he's doing a presentation this season so we'll support him too.
And will you be around for London fashion week?
Well, we've only got a short window, coz we're over here and then we are starting our tour on Feb 18th so I'll be at Fashion Week for a few days, but I'll be at the shows while I'm here.
We'll keep our eye out for you Shingai . . . Can't wait!

November 28, 2014
STATELINE (WIFR) -- Two local medical clinics have announced major expansion projects. One is expected to take over a building that has sat empty for nearly a decade.
Rockford Orthopedic will open another location at the former Eagle Grocery Store at the corner of Riverside Boulevard at Mulford Road. We got an inside look at the construction project today. The company has another clinic near OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center. Their second location will open next spring.
Freeport's Monroe Clinic is also adding to its facility. Today the company broke ground on a $600,000 construction project, which will make room for more specialty and primary care services. Right now 16 providers work in the building, which can make things a little crowded. The clinic's director says employees are looking forward to the extra space, which should be available in December.

I'm booming, I'm bunking, I'm serving all the babies
Rap game easy but the dope game gravy
Young Juice man and my life is like the J.Kidd
With stupid fruity crazy swag, jumping on your lady
Banana-donk Chevy interior like the Lakers
LeBron James wrist when I'm fuckin' with the capers
Hit the trap, stay down, watch the paper
Rake up, booming out the house and J asking for a waiter
Half a brick, whole brick, got me buying Jacobs
Bourbon shoes, walking in the head of the gators
Quarter-brick, half a brick
Whole brick, aye!
Quarter-pound, half a pound
Whole pound, ok!
100 pills, 1000 pills, serving major weight
Juiceman and Gucci Mane make the trap: "Aye! "
[Verse 2: Cam'ron]
What up OJ! Harlem came down to the South
This right up my alley tho...
Quarter bricks, half bricks, whole bricks...
What up Gucci? What up Juiceman?
This Louis belt cost 2 grand
Sell a quarter key by the newsstand
"Sniff that shit, feel like a new man"
Dome in the meatloaf, chrome where the seat go
Bricks hammers and shovels: yeah, I'm Home Depot...
Home invasion, get your home repoed
"Hasta la vista! " Adios, finito
Clicko, X pills, got them for cheap, yo
All y'all are chochas, you could suck my picho!
Got the shotty strapped, blow your body back
Sold 2 birds, spent that in Body Tap
Bottle one hand, other one, pistol gripped
Don't gotta shoot it: leave your ass pistol-whipped
Want 10 birds? Meet me where the car's parked
My spot: Wal-Mart parking lot
[Verse 3: Gucci Mane]
I'm twerking birds in so we working [x3]
Packing a truck, stop, a trailer back in
We big, flip jugs, we tote it off the forklift
The way my Blood kick you'd think he had a black belt
My scale so Big, Boy can weight his damn self
2000 pounds of mid, I sold that shit my damn self
Washer full of cash, dryer full of X pills
Red rag in my pocket same color my 'Vette is
My number lower than a ése from Texas
A quarter mil' in the mail is an investment
A sniper rifle like a soldier in the desert
An Eagle on me, boy, I'm known to tote a desert
I sacked an ounce up before I sold a record
He want a sack I told him "meet me by the Checker's"
I sacked a pound up before I sold a record
He want a brick I told him "meet me by the Checker's"

If only Sam Phillips had said, "If I could find me a white boy who could play harp like Muddy Waters," rock history might've taken a different turn. But rockabilly's loss is blues' gain. Charlie Musselwhite grew up in Memphis (and actually ran moonshine, according to his bio), was friends with the Million Dollar Quartet, and then migrated to Chicago's south side, where he discovered another set of heavies to pal around with: Muddy, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Big Walter, John Lee Hooker, and Big Joe Williams. When the White Blues boom of the '60s hit big, Musselwhite was at the forefront with contemporaries like Paul Butterfield, John Hammond, and John Mayall. Unlike that esteemed circle, his output has remained prolific. He was a sideman to the late John Lee Hooker and has played on sessions with the Blind Boys of Alabama, Bonnie Raitt, Tom Waits, and even INXS (that's him huffin' and puffin' on "Suicide Blonde"). And I'll bet he's the only guy at this festival whose logo looks like a biker's tattoo!

Free Range Chicken/Grass Fed Beef/Farmers: Windermere or Winter Garden area?
- c
- CaliFoodie82 Jun 19, 2010 02:10 PM
I just moved to Windermere from Northern California and am looking for the best place to find free range chicken, grass fed beef, and local produce. I really like supporting local "mom and pop" places if there are any close by.
Also, one of the things I miss the most about California is the farmer's markets - am looking for a good substitute here. I tried the market in Winter Garden, but it doesn't seem to have any local farmers (I saw a good quantity of produce that was in plastic and shipped from California!). Any leads on small farms/producers in the area that sell at markets or even direct to customers (I was previously a devotee of CSA boxes and would love to do that again).
Thanks for any help or advice!!!
Califoodie, my daughter lives near Windermere and just bought a side of grass fed beef, loved the farm/farmer. I emailed her, and this is her reply:
"Deep creek ranch. They are in the deland area, probably an hour north of Windermere. We bought a "split half" and was about 6.50 per lb. Grass fed free range, highly recommended. Ask for Trish. She will make arrangements to meet somewhere convenient. Look up their website. Family owned farm. "
Hope this helps!
Also, in the Sanford area, there are many nurseries etc along Rte 46. Perhaps a ramble in the car is in order?
re: joan
Calif, Welcome to Florida, there are some restrictive state laws concerning small time growers; such as, backyard egg producers cannot "legally" sell their eggs for human consumption. If you see eggs at farmers' markets labelled "For pet consumption Only" is the way around that. Keep looking for informal small growers and you will find chickens, rabbits, guinea hens, pigs, lambs etc. that are grown under free range conditions but are not "state recognized". Good Luck!

re: joan
Daughter also send me this today:
"more info: farmfreshorlando.com is a good source of local food. Some of those farmers sell at the Audubon community market on Mondays in winter park. You can google that. There is a tight circle of local farmers and any of them would probably be very helpful.
For grass fed beef, there is a farm called HoWa in Spring Hill, which is 2 hours west of Windermere, and I know it is pretty far but the cows are Black Angus and the quality is great. They just finished a harvest and will have more available in late August. You can sign up for their e-mail list at the website below and they will send out an e-mail when they are ready for reservations on the next harvest. You have to respond pretty quickly because they sell out very fast due to the fact that there aren't many grass fed beef farmers around here. The cost is $4.75 per pound (hanging weight) for a quarter or a half, and $4.60 per pound for a whole.
As far as everything else goes, I used Local Harvest to search for my CSA (Rabbits, etc. near Spring Hill). The website link is below, and the search engine helps you look up farmers markets, farmers, CSAs, etc. nearby.
My CSA is year-round, but a lot of the others only go during the November - May season, so it just depends on the farm. Good luck and welcome to Florida!
re: sspharbor
Thanks so much for your help everyone!! I definitely appreciate it. I am definitely going to check out Deep Creek Ranch, and have started looking for CSAs that are starting up in November. I also have had more luck at the Winter Park farmer's market lately - and have found a great produce stand in Winter Garden (Gardner's Produce) where the people are really friendly and happy to tell you where the produce is from. :)
I got to Lake Meadows Naturals located in Ococee for my Poultry and Beef. Here is the website http://www.lakemeadownaturals.net/
Hope you enjoy!
re: tatertot2004
Lake Meadow Naturals is hosting a local-foods event this Saturday from 9 to 11. The farm has a nice store that's open a few days a week.
re: tatertot2004
By the way, if you get to Lake Meadows right at 10am on Saturdays you can collect your own eggs basically right out from under the chickens. Most of those are gone by 11 am, but they still have very fresh eggs in their farm store, as well as killer chicken, grassfed local beef (when they slaughter a cow - not always available), plus all kinds of interesting cuts you won't find much elsewhere (pork belly, brains, whole heads and other assorted offal). Add in the limited but unique to the area cheeses, butter and various pickles and it's a great Saturday outing espcially with kids. It is a small store though so adjust your expectations. By the way, when you arrive where Google says you should you'll think you are driving into someone's personal driveway - signage is kinda terrible so just drive on down.
Definitely check out Homegrown Co-op who has a retail store near downtown and does deliver CSA boxes on a weekly basis.
re: nerditry
Right now, I believe Audubon is the only all-local farmers market in town. It's by the Stardust in Orlando. This winter, the East End Market will open right near Audubon. It will be a full-time farmers-style market with artisan and locavore food vendors. http://eastendmkt.com/
Here's a not-too-old thread with lots of other links and referrals:
Going to mid-state, to Ocoee, near Orlando, in 2 weeks, where Lake Meadow Naturals is located; a farm that has various humanely grown/raised poultry, rabbits, beef, pork, etc. both chicken and duck eggs. We have ordered some Pearl Guinea Hens, that they raise, and are dressing out a few days before our visit. First time there for us, will let you know our impressions.

Dangerous Aid
Does paying countries to fight terrorism always backfire?
Since 2001, the U.S. Congress has allocated more than $20 billion in aid and reimbursements to Pakistan in the name of fighting global terrorism. And yet, when asked not long ago to rate Pakistan's counterterrorism cooperation on a scale of 1 to 10, CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell gave it a 3. Until recently, the head of al Qaeda was living just a stone's throw from a Pakistani military installation, and elements of the country's security apparatus are widely suspected of aiding militant groups. So why doesn't the money produce results? And, more importantly, is it time to begin cutting off Pakistan, as Sen. Carl Levin and others have advocated?
Maybe so. Navin Bapat, a professor of international relations at the University of North Carolina, has used game theory to create models of state behavior that suggest counterterrorism aid acts as a perverse incentive. By his logic, a government receiving aid to fight terrorist groups is less likely ever to win that fight because the funds would dry up without terrorist groups. Bapat found empirical backing for his theory: Data on almost 200 terrorist groups worldwide between 1997 and 2006 show that U.S. military assistance correlates with a 67 percent increase in the duration of terrorist campaigns in the country receiving the aid.
Which is not to say that the money isn't worth it. Bapat's model also shows that, while governments receiving aid have little incentive to defeat terrorist groups, they're also less likely to negotiate with them. In other words, Afghan President Hamid Karzai needs a certain level of Taliban activity if he is to continue receiving U.S. cash, but he can't allow the militants to become so powerful that Washington cuts him off entirely. Bapat thinks there's probably no way to escape from this expensive and frustrating limbo, at least in the immediate future, given the risk of chaos in countries like Yemen and Pakistan. "I would argue that this is the best the U.S. can do," he says.

Pastor John R. Gerlach
Sign the "Integrity and Unity" Statement Today
As many of you are aware, some UM pastors are openly forsaking the vows they made to practice their ministry according to the church's teaching regarding same-sex ceremonies. Even though The Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church clearly forbids pastors to preside at such services, many of them have disregarded our church law. A few of our church's bishops have supported and even encouraged these acts of defiance.
The website www.methodistcrossroads.org is now live. The site contains a statement entitled "Integrity and Unity" that was adopted at a recent gathering of clergy and laity in Atlanta. The statement calls upon our bishops to uphold our Book of Discipline and demands integrity of one another and all United Methodist pastors for the sake of unity and biblical integrity. The statement will be delivered to the Council of Bishops during its fall meeting the first week of November.
Pastors John & Skip have endorsed this statement, and they encourage you to do so as well. You can find the statement and background information about the current crisis confronting the church at www.methodistcrossroads.org. Please visit the site as soon as possible to add your name to the statement, and then pass it along to others so they can add their names as well.
To worship and glorify God the Father
through His Son, Jesus Christ.
To grow in fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ
individually, and as a family.
To seek, to share, and to teach Christ.
To be open to the Holy Spirit,
to be empowered by Him
to fulfill the Great Commission,
and to serve Him in all ways
throughout the community and the earth.

Scripture for The Week
Taming the Tongue
1 Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. 2 We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check. 3 When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. 4 Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. 5 Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. 6 The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. 7 All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man, 8 but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. 10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. 11 Can both fresh water and salta water flow from the same spring? 12 My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.
The Holy Bible: New International Version. 1984 (Jas 3:1–12). Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan.

By default, when you install the WordPress.org, they say the theme twenty eleven is in use. It is not bad to use it because if it is done right, it will look attractive. It will not have the functionalities of the paid themes of course, but whether you get some power features or not, you will still be struggling with the technical stuff.
As you can tell, the default theme is a custom one. You actually have two options You can either use a free theme or a paid theme. The free ones could be attractive enough if done with care. However, they may not have the power features you will want for your website to have. As long as you understand that it is kind of limited, you may want to use the default theme.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Free Themes
The obvious advantage of the free theme is that it is free. They are also easy to use and edit. They are also easy to install so you can try as many of them as you can until you find something you like. The trouble is that they are very basic and later on you may want something more powerful. Support could also become a problem so if you choose a free theme, get one from Rocket Themes or Woo Themes because these offer paid themes and so you may not have some security issues when WordPress is updated.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Paid Themes
Paid themes have many advantages. They have great support and are updated regularly. They also have unique features that are lacking in the free themes. Due to the competition and because it is a way for them to make a living, the developers try hard to make their theme the best. They pay attention to details and can make your blog look more unique.
However, unlike the free themes, paid themes usually do not go through a review process and so may not be added to the official WP repository. In this case, they may or may not be standards compliant in terms of licensing. Besides, why spend money on something that may just turn into a hobby? In addition, all the bells and whistles they feature may not be of use to you..
Rocket Themes is the one where I read there were some problems like that it slows down your website unless you remove the rocket plugin but they have been around a long time and for $50, they have great-looking themes. They also have a good selection of free themes.
Woo Themes have a huge portfolio of themes for all kinds of niches but are generally for eCommerce Site. You will get a beautiful site with unbelievable flexibility. They are very popular but it is expensive, starting at $70 for each theme or you may want to pay $125 plus $25 a month to gain access to all the themes.
Theme Forest is a customizable and professional, multi-layout, ultra flexible WP theme but someone said it may not be updated often. They say to be careful with this theme because you may get the same type of support issues as the free themes. Why? Because the creators are freelance developers.
Genesis Framework is one powerful theme created by Studio Press. It enables one to build great websites with WordPress easily and quickly. Both the advanced webmaster and newbies will have a search engine optimized website and a secure foundation that would take them to places they never thought they could go. It's expensive but worth it if you want a powerful theme.
Thesis Theme This is a perfect choice because it will make you able to do things the other themes can't. It has boxes with point and click add on that will enable you to do more without having to write your own code. You can drag and drop your way to a customized design and use essential tools like Google authorship and branding,
Elegant Themes are beautiful premium wordpress themes. They go for simplicity and good looking designs. As of this writing, for $39 you get completely 100% access to their entire collection of 86 themes. They come with advanced features like page templates and theme options that give you full control of your website. They come with powerful features and with great support, who can beat that?
The aforementioned themes are the top six ones. There are a hundred others of course. But these are known to be all user-friendly, with great support and the most diverse options for upgrades. There are a great number of people using them and they seem to be happy and content with them.
Theme Installation
It is pretty easy to install a theme. John Chow says there are two ways of installing it. In the WordPress Codex, search for free themes. You can download it from a zip folder directly into WordPress. Or if you are getting a paid theme, you can upload that directly from the site where you bought the theme. The other way is to upload the files through FTP.
FTP Upload
If you cannot find the zip folder in your hard drive, or you cannot make the back uploader to work, here's how to do it:
1. If you have not done it yet, unzip the folder.
2. Find the actual file. Read the ReadMe file which you will find after you unzip the folder.
3. Upload the theme folder to wp-content/themes/ on your server.
4. Under the Appearance menu, go to Manage Theme and activate it.
Ming Jong Tey has a different way of doing it which I prefer because it's dead simple. Besides first, you choose and specify the layout you want in terms of widths, columns, features. Here he goes:
1. Go to appearance and click themes.
2. Click on the install theme tab.
3. Select your preference as to the layout like the width, columns and desired features. Then click find themes.
4. Preview the different ones that appeared when you search for a theme that suits the layout you prefer.
5. Once you are satisfied, click install the theme.
Choosing a theme for your blog is a necessity. For one thing, it will make your business stand out from all the competition. Presentation is the key. It has to be a suitable theme that will meet the needs of your prospective customers. They say you can even switch themes without having to re-enter all your pages and posts. Switch themes to check which one conveys your brand the best way.

November 21, 2014
The city of Stoughton is requesting additional volunteers saying even after more than 600 offered their assistance today more will be needed on Sunday.
We caught up with a couple of volunteers to hear what compelled them to contribute. Alan Vick says, "We have a couple of families that we know were effected, part of their house was destroyed, so we're trying to get in the area just to help out." And another volunteer, Lisa Krause says, "These people you know I have conversations with them, they are dear to me, I don't know them by name, but I know their faces. They need a helping hand and today I don't work so I am here."
If you are interested in volunteering on Sunday, check in will take place at Stoughton Area High School. Make sure to wear work clothes, but do not bring power tools, as the Department of Natural Resources will take care of providing the power. Volunteer crews will start heading out into the areas of most damage at seven a.m.

Orzeszek Timer Portable 1.11
For example, Orzeszek Timer Portable can come in handy if you need a countdown tool that notifies you as soon as time has run out.
Portable timer with minimalistic looks
Since this application is a portable one, it means that, unlike Orzeszek Timer, it does not need to be installed onto your computer and that all its setting files are stored within the same folder where the executable is.
You can also copy it on a removable flash drive that you typically carry it with you, so you simply connect it to your PC whenever you need a countdown timer. Its GUI is kept as simple as possible, making it ideal for those who like straightforward looks.
Handy timer that supports varied source formats
In order to make the most of this utility, you need to enter the source time you are interested in - and this is where Orzeszek Timer Portable stands out from the crowd.
Since it is meant to be as flexible and as useful as possible, the application supports a wide range of formats, meaning that you can enter either 5h 15m 55s or 05/05/2015 5:00 PM without worrying that the timer does not start. Once you types the desired values, simply press Enter, minimize the main window and leave the app running in the background.

All in all, Orzeszek Timer Portable can prove to be a versatile utility for all those who want to be reminded when the time runs out, without too much hassle.
The app comes with a highly intuitive GUI, yet some might argue that it is too simplistic and that some features are missing, such as customizing the notification message.
