If we are to deal with climate change, the price of carbon-intensive energy is going to have to rise, says Tim Harford. It makes sense. We have to reduce our energy use, and pricing is a good mechanism to help that along. Along the same lines, fuel duty is a Good Thing.

Hall of Fame/Awards
Racquetball Hall of Fame
The Racquetball Hall of Fame was introduced in 2001 to recognise people who have in some way contributed greatly to the sport of Australian Racquetball.
Sue Cullinan (2005)
Sue started at Profile in Bairnsdale in 1986 and introduced daytime Racquetball. Sue has always worked diligently in the promotion of Racquetball in the Gippsland area and teamed up with Paul Vear to stop the removal of two courts and the opening of a Sports Club in the existing building where the Profile Centre was located.
Sue has always supported the Tournament circuit well, packing up all the juniors from Profile and carting them all over the State, many of whom still play today, Jade Smith, Matt Scott, Nelson Turner, James Patterson to name a few, as well as organising tournaments of her own (Riviera, Oceania and the Australian Open). In 1994 Sue took over the Lease of the Profile Centre in a partnership until 2007.

Considered one of the best players to have played racquetball
Donna Hill Award
This Award has been established in the honour of Donna Hill, who was an outstanding junior squash player who went onto play the highest grade of state pennant in both squash and racquetball. Tragically, we lost Donna after a long illness which she fought right to the end, similar to her attitude on the squash and racquetball court.
Two perpetual shields (one each for squash and racquetball) have been kindly donated by the Hill family, with the support of the Ferntree Gully Squash Club, where Donna commenced playing Squash and established many longstanding friendships.
Each year the Victorian Racquetball League will select and present this Award to a junior player who best meets Donna's qualities which are listed below:
Donna commenced playing squash from the age of 7 when she attended the Ferntree Gully Squash Centre with her family for their weekly Thursday night booking. Donna had a one in a million smile with an incredible personality. Donna was the type of person who everybody loved to be with, a person who enjoyed life to the fullest, extremely friendly and very supportive of her family and friends. Donna had a great attitude to life both on and off the court, was a gutsy and hardworking player who had an enormous amount of talent.
Donna rose to the highest level in both squash and racquetball, always playing within the rules and had a very friendly attitude to her opponents and referees. Donna also worked at the Ferntree Gully Centre and helped out immensely in the administration area particularly with tournaments and their in-house and interclub pennant competitions.
Donna was an excellent role model for junior players and all who met her were touched by her sincerity, honesty and her love of both sports.

Steal Like an Artist (Or a Blues Musician)
Posted by Plish on April 1, 2012
I recently came across the book "Steal Like an Artist" bu Austin Kleon. The title is what grabbed me first. Being a musician I know that Blues artists, especially in the first half of the 20th century, did a good deal of borrowing, sometimes, outright stealing of other musicians' music and lyrics.
Guess what…
When it comes to cool innovations there's often a collision of different ideas/metaphors that results in some new idea being spawned. Steal like an Artist gives these guidelines:
I really like number 3. This could just as easily say, "Design the product YOU want to use", or, "Play the music YOU want to hear."
Is there bad theft? Austin Kleon puts it like this:
Blues artists did a lot of the "Good Theft".
One last bit of wisdom for those artists, in fact, all people, that think they need to bring a cohesiveness to their lives and their work.
I'm really looking forward to diving in to this book more deeply.

HALF MOON BAY, Calif., February 17, 2012—Surfers always seem to have the best laid-back lifestyle. They hang out at the beach and enjoy an ocean playground—riding waves as much as their schedule allows.
Have you ever considered joining them? You can, on a weeklong surf safari on Mexico's Riviera Nayarit. Better yet, you can leave most of the planning to someone else.
Now in its 15th year, Las Olas is one of the world's premier surf camps for women. With a sweet spot near a surf break north of Puerto Vallarta, it's an ideal opportunity to learn to surf as well as relax and soak in the chill vibe.
Las Olas provides gorgeous seaside accommodations, daily yoga class, daily surf lessons (including a private lesson), loads of free surf time, a private sports massage, ground transportation and boat trips to secret surf spots. In addition, the Las Olas surf instructors include world champions and sponsored professional surfers, so you're getting quality attention.
How do I know all this? I just returned from a Las Olas surf safari. Although I'm a decent kayak and stand-up paddleboard surfer, I had never tried traditional surfing until this trip. Every day for a week, I rolled out of bed in my seaside villa, attended morning yoga class, hit the beach for surf instruction and practice, and had some incredible food in a little beach town. My fellow classmates, eight women from the United States and Canada, were welcome companions along for the ride.
One of my favorite things about this experience was not only the quality, focused instruction, but also the camaraderie of a group of women of varying ages. We all had spent vacations with partners and families, but did not always have a chance to focus on ourselves and get quality time to play. The feeling seems appropriately expressed in the Las Olas motto" "We make girls out of women."
Sure, it's possible to learn to surf by paying someone on the beach to teach you a lesson for an hour or two. But my experience with surf camp allowed me to get constant feedback for days: what I was doing right as well as what I was doing wrong, and how I was improving. For me, the hours of attention are a key factor in making sure I'm successful when I buy a board and hit my home waters on my own.
The gorgeous villa, countless fish tacos, great yoga classes and muscle-melting massage helped, too. Alone, that week of quality surfing and playtime ensures that I'll be a surfer for life.

EZU boasts heavy exposure to troubled nations such as Spain, Italy, and Portugal. However, with Germany and France headlining the geographic breakdown, the fund may be able to offset some of the region's volatility.
iShares Dow Jones Transportation Average Index Fund (IYT)
Rising energy prices have been on the minds of many as they prepare for the summer travel season. Interestingly, however, oil's ascension has had only limited effect on the companies underlying the Dow Jones Transportation Index so far.
Over the most recent three month period, IYT has managed to outpace the broader SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (DIA) by a comfortable margin.Although the impact has been limited so far, it will be interesting to see if energy prices will affect the plane, train, and delivery industry as summer presses on. IYT's performance may also provide investors with insight into the state of the consumer. Companies like Delta (DAL), FedEx (FDX) and Union Pacific (UNP) will benefit as individuals take to the rails, sea, and sky. First Trust Dow Jones Internet Index Fund (FDN) The Internet industry will be on investors' minds over the next few months as they attempt to profit from the hot social media industry. Following the successful IPOs of LinkedIn (LNKD) and Yandex (YNDX), many have begun to question whether we are in the midst of a new Internet bubble. This debate will continue to rage in the months ahead as the markets seek to uncover clues regarding the futures of Zynga, Twitter, and Facebook. FDN is an attractive, well-diversified product for investors looking to access the Internet's popularity. Rather than exposing investors to volatile, newly IPOed firms like LinkedIn, this fund combines exposure to weathered online veterans including Google (GOOG) and Amazon (AMZN).

Airline Passengers Get New Rights Tuesday
Updated On: Aug 23 2011 08:31:38 AM EDT
In response to some high profile cases of passenger neglect by airlines, federal regulators announced new rules in April to expand the rights of airline passengers, and those regulations take effect Tuesday.
The new regulations include provisions to:
Force airlines to display all potential fees for services and amenities such as baggage check, meals, and canceling reservations on their websites.
Refund any baggage fees for lost luggage in addition to current rules which say they must compensate travelers for lost or damaged belongings.
Increase compensation for passengers bumped from flights and delayed for up to two hours to twice the ticket price, up to $650, and for those delayed longer than two hours to as much as four times ticket value, up to $1,300. Formerly shorter delays brought compensation equal to ticket value up to $400 and longer delays were capped at $800.
Allow US regulators to fine carriers as much as $27,500 per customer for leaving passengers on foreign flights stranded on a tarmac for more than four hours. (This expands a 2009 rule prohibiting delays of more than three hours for domestic flights by US carriers.)

Kustok children split, but still united: Kadner
By PHIL KADNER firstname.lastname@example.com March 10, 2014 7:50PM
Zak Kustok at the Bridgeview Courthouse on Wednesday. | Alex Wroblewski/Sun-Times

Even after learning that her father cheated on her mother, Sarah Kustok testified Monday, she does not believe Allan Kustok could have murdered his wife.
Kustok is charged with first-degree murder, accused of firing a bullet at close range into his wife's face in the bedroom of their Orland Park home.
In an exclusive interview earlier with the SouthtownStar, Sarah's brother, Zak, wasn't nearly as certain about his father's conduct on Sept. 29, 2010.
"I'm not comfortable commenting on that," Zak said, when I asked him if he thought his father had murdered his mother, Anita "Jeanie" Kustok.
It was the only time Zak has commented publicly on the case.
The Kustok siblings appear to be on opposite sides regarding their father's guilt, but the tragedy seems to have actually accentuated what they have in common.
Their love for each other appears to have survived both the death of their mother and the trial of their father. Each has expressed public support for the other, and they remain in constant contact.
Zak talked in glowing terms of his mother as a positive influence who taught him "to take pride in being a good husband, a good father, a good man. She took pride in being a good person.
"That's what will define who I am," he said during the interview.
Sarah, on the witness stand, fought back tears when asked to describe her mother.
"I don't think we have enough time," she said, staring directly at the jury. "She was and is more important to me than any human being in the world. I can't even put into words the kind of human being she was."
She was always a mother but also her "best friend," Sarah testified.
Even as an adult, Sarah telephoned her mother nearly every day, sometimes several times a day, and sent her text messages throughout the day, even as she worked as a broadcaster for Comcast SportsNet in Chicago.
Growing up in Lansing, Frankfort and Orland Park, Sarah said her family was a team, each member supporting the others, where every important decision was discussed and everyone had a say.
"You were a close family?" a defense attorney asked.
"Close would be an understatement," she responded.
And yet she is supporting her father, and Zak is not.
Zak, 35, and Sarah, 32, were star athletes at Sandburg High School in Orland Park. A quarterback for the football team, he went on to play for Northwestern University. Sarah played volleyball and basketball in high school and had a basketball scholarship to DePaul University.
"I chose DePaul because it was close to home," she said, and her parents would be able to come to games.
And they did, often traveling to away games to see her play. Her brother also often came to her games, as she had to his.
That was nothing new. During their high school years, Zak and Sarah's parents were fixtures at every game, often sitting in the last row, high up in the stands for Sarah's games, according to those who watched the children grow up.
"I never once heard them yell at an official or shout a disparaging word at a coach or opposing player," said a prep sportswriter who covered the games for years.
Yet, as close as the family was (Zak also said he talked to his parents almost every day in adulthood), neither Zak nor Sarah ever suspected that their father was a serial philanderer.
Both said they never knew there was a gun in the Kustok home. And they were equally adamant that their mother "never" would have committed suicide.
Regarding Kustok's cheating, Zak told me, "As a father, husband and a man, I don't support the actions and decisions that have been stated regarding my father's behavior. I feel to be viewed as supporting the man would be seen as some form of acceptance of his behavior. That's not the man I am."
Sarah, on the witness stand, also condemned her father's adultery.
"I do not condone that. I find it wrong," she said.
But "no," it did not change her opinion of whether her father was capable of killing her mother. She doesn't believe he could have done it.
The Kustoks were a religious family, Catholics who attended church every Sunday, with Jeanie sometimes going to mass in the middle of the week.
Where Zak appeared to be skeptical of his father's statements since their mother's death, Sarah appeared unquestioning to the point of disbelief.
Asked by Assistant State's Attorney Jennifer Gonzalez what she thought of her father's failure to call 911 the morning Jeanie Kustok was shot, Sarah said, "I, really, to be honest, have not thought about that."
Asked if she had ever asked her father why he didn't call 911, Sarah said, "No."
The last answer could be explained away by the fact that Kustok has been in jail since the death of his wife, and Sarah had to know that any jail conversation might be monitored or taped.
Asked, with her mother dead, if she wanted to see her father sent to prison, Sarah said, "No."
For those who suspect the Kustok children exaggerated in claiming that the death of their mother had not impacted their personal relationship, I can offer some insight.
At the courthouse Monday, Sarah hugged her grandmother, Allan's mother, and her aunts and uncles on her father's side of the family.
And she was embraced just as warmly by aunts and an uncle (sisters and brother of Jeanie) who have sat behind the prosecution table throughout the trial.
As for her father, I never saw him look at her as she testified, nor express any emotion, even as she broke down on the witness stand recalling an idyllic childhood.
"Great kids," everyone says when asked about Sarah and Zak.
Now, they are also victims.

If there were any remaining doubts that Twitter wanted to contrast its initial public offering with that of Facebook's, consider the way the messaging platform is running its investor roadshow.
Last May, Mark Zuckerberg donned his trademark "hoodie" and strode through the main entrance of the Sheraton Hotel, where the lobby was flooded with network reporters, cameraman and journalists. The media flurry surrounded not just the Facebook founder but also would-be investors.
But here on the 36th floor of the Midtown Manhattan Mandarin Oriental hotel in the lush Time Warner Center just off Central Park West, I am the only reporter in sight, writes Arash Massoudi. Read more
As Twitter's IPO cranks into action, there is one big question that is puzzling beyondbrics and many others: where are the non-US users based?
In its SEC filing, Twitter admitted that "users outside the US constituted 77 per cent of our average MAUs [monthly active users] in the three months ended June 30, 2013″. Just who are the 77 per cent? And can Twitter make money out of them?
General Motors' pullback from Facebook ads in May became a touchstone moment for doubts about the social network's business model, just before it went public.
But as we report in today's FT analysis of the growing turf war in the social networking market, GM has been spending money on Twitter for two years – and is now "beyond experimenting" with ads there. Read more
Common wisdom has it that when it comes to the web, China goes its own way. For big western sites there are China equivalents: for Google, there's Baidu. For Facebook there's Renren. For eBay, there's Alibaba. And for Twitter, there's Sina Weibo. Isn't there?
In terms of numbers, yes. China has over 300m users on the Sina Weibo service – Twitter is banned in China. But hang on. According to a recent report, the most active users of Twitter worldwide are in… China. Not the US. How come?
Fed up with labouring in the shadow of Silicon Valley, two Hollywood studios have belatedly woken up to social media with the launch of two new ventures that take advantage of their own in-house technology.
Dreamworks Animation, the studio behind the Shrek and Kung Fu Panda films, today launches Ptch, a mobile app that lets users create 60-second movies using pictures and video shot with their smartphone – and then share them via social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Google+. Read more

Shopping on Facebook for apps will soon be easier with the App Center, a new application storefront for users to buy and discover content. The social networking company announced the App Center this week following an amendment to its S-1 filing that claimed it does not "currently directly generate any meaningful revenue from the use of Facebook mobile products, and our ability to do so successfully is unproven". The timing of the App Center news did not go unnoticed by commentators who noted Facebook's push to conquer mobile. Read more
These are busy times for Facebook. At the start of the week, the social networking company introduced a new feature for members to show their organ donation status. But the big news came on Thursday, as the social networking company announced that it would set a price range for its stock of $28 to $35 a share when it debuts on Wall Street later this month. It also released an IPO roadshow video. Read more

This cinematic landscape of light and sound incorporating video projection and audio design by Klip Collective was realized in its first execution during Data Garden's annual Switched-On Garden on October 14, 2012.
Viewers were quickly drawn to the lulling light and sound in the field. Over time, people moved closer and closer into the tall grass, fully immersing themselves in the smoke, light forms and sound. At first, the audio and visual elements imitated the natural world; the sound began to oscillate and pulsate as the firefly-like elements in the video lined up in moving geometric patterns across the meadow. In an intensely choreographed audio-visual activity, the sound and visuals again began to mimic the natural world.
The Switched-On Garden 002 was an interactive exhibition held at North America's oldest botanic garden, Bartram's Garden in Philadelphia, in the fall of 2012 during the citywide festival, DesignPhiladelphia.

Payroll News - 2006
Payroll News Issue 83 March 2006
- Changes to PAYE deduction tables from 1 April 2006
- Hiring contractors and deducting withholding tax
- Certificates of exemption
- Special tax code certificates
- Future changes to IRD numbers
- WorkSite/PaeMahi
- Payment due date for large employers.
In this issue we tell you about changes from 1 April to PAYE and withholding tax calculations, changing to 9 digit IRD and GST numbers, hiring contractors and deducting withholding tax, and hiring people with certificates of exemption and special tax codes.
If you have an employer topic you'd like to see covered in this newsletter, please write to the Editor, Payroll News, PO Box 2198, Wellington or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll aim to cover the topic in a future edition.
Changes to PAYE deduction tables from 1 April 2006
The following changes have been made to the 2007 PAYE deduction tables and become effective from 1 April 2006.
- The ACC earners' levy rate increases from $1.20 to $1.30 (GST-inclusive) per $100 of earnings.
- The maximum earnings on which earners' levy is payable increases to $96,619.
- Employees who have a student loan and use the M SL tax code can earn up to $17,160 ($330 per week) before having student loan deductions made.
Your 2007 PAYE deduction tables will be sent to you in early March, unless you've told us that you don't want to receive them.
From 1 April 2006 please use the 2007 deduction tables or if you prefer you can use our online calculators under Work it out > PAYE > PAYE calculator 2007.
If you use a payroll provider these changes should have been incorporated into your payroll package.
Hiring contractors and deducting withholding tax
Withholding tax is deducted from payments made to people who are not employees but who are employed on a contract-for-service basis. If you hire contractors you may need to deduct withholding tax from the payments you make to them.
The main contract activities and the withholding tax rates are listed on the back of the Tax code declaration (IR330), this will need to be completed by your contractors. If they do not complete the IR330, you'll need to deduct tax using the no-declaration withholding tax rates. Withholding tax must be deducted from payments made to contractors unless any of the following criteria is met.
- The type of work that you've hired the contractor to do is not listed on the back of the IR330.
- The contractor shows you their current certificate of exemption.
- The work or services are completed by a company (but not a company that is a non-resident contractor or non-resident entertainer).
- The payment is for a non-resident contractor who is eligible for total relief from tax through a double tax agreement, and are present in New Zealand for a total of 92 days or less in any 12-month period.
- The payment is to or for the contract activities of a non-resident contractor and they have been paid $15,000 or less in total from all payers in any 12-month period.
- The work or services are completed by a public, local or Maori authority.
If your contractor is registered for GST they will charge GST on goods and services supplied. This means the gross earnings will increase by the amount of GST charged. If you receive a tax invoice, deduct withholding tax on the GST-exclusive amount.
Rourke hires Madeline (a New Zealand resident) as a labour-only contractor to help him complete a house he is building. Madeline invoices Rourke the following details:
|Madeline the builder
|PO Box 9876
|Labour (40 hours @ $40 an hour)
$ 1,600
|Plus GST
$ 200
|Amount due
$ 1,800
|When Rourke pays the invoice he deducts 20% withholding tax from the GST-exclusive amount. Rourke would work out the following:
|GST-exclusive amount
$ 1,600
|Less 20% withholding tax
$ 320
|Net payment
$ 1,280
|Plus GST charged on Madeline's invoice
$ 200
|Amount paid to Madeline
$ 1,480
The $1,600 needs to be shown as a gross payment on the Employer monthly schedule (IR348) and the $320 as a withholding tax deduction. Please remember to include the $1,600 in the "Earnings and/or withholding payments not liable for ACC earners' levy" column of your IR348.
Show a "WT" tax code when completing the IR348 for a withholding payment recipient.
Certificates of exemption
If you hire a contractor who supplies you with a Certificate of exemption (IR331) you don't need to deduct withholding tax from the payments you make to them.
Please check that any certificates of exemption you receive are valid. The work shown on the certificate must be the same as the work the contractor is doing for you. If the certificate is not valid, your contractor needs to complete a Tax code declaration (IR330) and you are required to deduct withholding tax from payments you make to them.
Please remember to keep a record of these payments and the certificate of exemption number, or a photocopy of the original certificate.
Special tax code certificates
Some of your employees may have a special tax code, or apply for one this year. A special tax code uses a tax deduction rate that we work out to suit your employee's individual circumstances.
If your employee gives you a special tax code certificate you must deduct tax at the rate shown on the certificate. The certificate is only valid for one year and needs to be renewed each year. If you are not given a new certificate by 1 April, you'll need to ask your employee to complete a Tax code declaration (IR330) and deduct tax using the tax code they have indicated. If your employee doesn't complete an IR330 you will need to deduct tax using the no-declaration ("ND") rate.
Future changes to IRD numbers
Currently your IRD and GST number is 8 digits long. From 1 April 2007 we'll be adding another digit to all new and existing IRD and GST numbers, because we'll have issued all possible 8 digit combinations. We're updating all existing IRD and GST numbers to 9 digits to reduce confusion when entering IRD numbers on our forms.
If you already have an IRD number it'll have a zero added to the front of it, for example, 12-345-678 will become 012-345-678.
If you apply for an IRD or GST number after 1 April 2007 you'll automatically be issued with a 9 digit number.
How will this affect my payroll systems?
If you complete a paper-based Employer monthly schedule (IR348) your employees' IRD numbers will be changed to 9 digits on the preprinted IR348 we send you.
If you file using ir-File and use a payroll provider they'll update their programmes to accommodate 9 digit IRD numbers. If you don't use a payroll provider, you'll need to alter your own inhouse systems by 1 April 2007 to accommodate 9 digit IRD numbers. We'll provide additional information on updating payroll systems later in the year.
www.worksite.govt.nz has been developed by combining the resources of a number of government agencies, including Inland Revenue, to provide an online shortcut to finding staff both in and outside New Zealand. WorkSite/PaeMahi also provides information for people looking for work or establishing a career path. It's there if you need help with:
- education and training
- looking for staff
- establishing and operating a business
- finding publications and information about working in New Zealand.
The site has an advanced search engine that includes "Ask an Expert"-a database with over 100,000 answers to commonly asked questions. Combined with the original search, this gives you access to more in-depth answers to your questions.
Payment due date for large employers
This year 5 March falls on a Sunday and your Employer deductions (IR345) or (IR346) form, payment and Employer monthly schedule (IR348) for this period will be due on Monday 6 March.
Completing your Employer monthly schedule (IR348)
All new employee's, contractor's liable for withholding tax or employees who change their tax code must complete a (IR330).
Please remember to include your new contractor's or employee's name, IRD number, tax code and start date on your Employer monthly schedule (IR348).

Moliere's "Tartuffe" To Open
UW-Eau Claire Theatre Season
MAILED: Oct. 3, 2002
EAU CLAIRE The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire's University Theatre will begin its 2002-03 theatre season with a presentation of "Tartuffe" by Moliere. The play, directed by Richard Nimke, assistant professor of music and theatre arts, opens at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 17, in the Kjer Theatre. Additional performances are slated for 7:30 p.m. Oct. 18, 19 and 23-26 and 1:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 27.
In the play, Tartuffe, a fraud and pious imposter played by sophomore Joseph Dauer, Buffalo, N.Y., is invited into the home of wealthy Orgon, played by senior Eric Traxler, Boyceville, and manages to connive his way into control of Orgon's land and money. Along the way, Tartuffe tries to seduce Orgon's wife, played by junior Deborah Selvig, Eau Claire, and attempts to marry Orgon's daughter, played by sophomore Lisa Truscott, Cornwall, United Kingdom. Orgon is duped by Tartuffe and is so caught under the spell of this self-righteous con man that he does not see the truth, even in the face of complete disaster. Luckily for Orgon, the wisdom of his family and his trusted servant, Dorine, played by senior Emily McPeck, Clayton, wins out in the end.
This brilliant comedy examines the dreadful deeds that can be committed behind the veil of religion when people blindly believe the surface details. Therefore, both Tartuffe, for his religious hypocrisy, and Orgon, for his blind ignorance, are the butt of the humor. The play is a satire, not of religion, but of hypocrisy in general and those who are blindly drawn into its deception.
Other cast members include senior Brian Benson, Rhinelander, as Loyal; sophomore Paul Bleier, Wautoma, as Valere; junior Sara Danke, Wales, as Flipotte; senior Anna Jeanette Figlesthaler, Bayside, as Madame Pernelle; junior Nathan Knick, Fergus Falls, as Damis; freshman Nathan Rohde, Beaver Dam, as the police officer; and senior Robert Vanderloop, Kaukauna, as Cleante.
The stage manager is senior Chandra Lynn LaViolette, Manitowoc, and the assistant stage manager is junior Emily Danielson, White Bear Lake, Minn. The lighting designer is senior Brian Hatfield, Walworth. Scenery is designed by Jody Sekas, assistant professor of music and theatre arts, and costumes are by guest designer Faye Fisher Ward.

ANKARA, Turkey — An explosion and blaze triggered by an accidentally dropped hand grenade killed 25 soldiers during a stock check at a Turkish ammunition depot, the government said Thursday.
Four other soldiers were injured in the blast, which lit up the night sky late Wednesday with flames, and shattered windows in homes in the nearby town of Afyonkarahisar in western Turkey, terrifying residents.

Bourbon vs Whiskey
Bourbon is a kind of American Whiskey which is a barrel-aged distilled spirit made usually from the help of corn. The spirit derives its name from the historical association with an area which was known as Old Bourbon. This place is near the currently called, Bourbon County, Kentucky which has been named after the French House of Bourbon royal family. Bourbon has been produced since the 18th century. Bourbon has been made in a number of places in United States for a very long time but it has got a strong association with Kentucky. Bourbon is normally sold as Tennessee Whiskey and has to follow the legal definition of Bourbon under Canadian law to be able to get sold. A number of Tennessee Whiskey makers don't label their products as Bourbon and insist upon the thing that it is a different type of whiskey while they market their product.
Whiskey is a form of distilled alcoholic beverage which has been manufactured from the fermented grain mash. Grains of different types are being used for different varieties of Whiskey. Some of the common types of these grains include barley, malted barley, rye, malted rye, wheat as well as corn. Whisky is manufactured and then left for aging in casks made of wood. The wood used for aging casks is usually white oak. However, in United States, the corn whiskey is not aged. Whiskey is a spirit which is made available across the globe in a number of competing origins and can be found in different classes and types. The most typical characteristics of different classes and the types which are available are fermentation of grains, distillation of these fermented grains and aging of the mixture in a wood contained. The whiskey made in India is different from other types of whiskeys as Indian Whiskey does not need to under go fermentation of grains and the most common basis of this whiskey is fermented molasses. The requirement for aging the whiskey in any type of wooden container is also not necessary and is sometimes not followed at some places.
Bourbon is a specific and distinctive product of United States of America which contains at least 51 percent corn as its constituent. It is distilled to make 80 percent of alcohol on the basis of volume. This type of American Whiskey is left for fermentation in new oak barrels which are charred and this should not be put in such barrels with more than 62.5% of alcohol on the volume basis. Bourbon is specifically made in America and is made from corn while Whiskey covers a range of beverages which contain content of Alcohol. Whiskey unlike Bourbon can be distilled with barley, rye, wheat and corn and even malted barley and malted rye. Whiskey can be found across the globe in a number of types and classes but the main feature it has is that it should contain at least 90 percent of alcohol and 80 percent of alcohol in cases of grain and corn respectively before the addition of water. Unlike Bourbon, Whiskey, of any type and origin, can be fermented in old barrels and barrels that have been used earlier.

I really think we have not seen the best from H2R and clearly he has the all around tools to just destroy this decade. Stanton still needs 2 years to really threaten for MVPs. We all know he will get 30+HR and 90+ RBI in the seasons coming, but imagine what he could do in 2013? If JJ can stay healthy and with a better pen behind him he can win 18 games a year for years to come. Hopefully we will see an extension for him before he leaves for FA. Stanton has too much raw power to fail, its just special when he makes contact.His defense was also amazing last season (errors in the beginning but he got much better) and i have immense faith he will succeed. LoMo like you said, will be a great hitter and get on base a bunch, but will be over looked. wow i am excited for this decade of baseballchristopherhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com

75% of the Age of Empire Online team are veterans of the series, Microsoft Game Studios GM, Dave Luehmann has claimed.
Speaking to CVG at Microsoft's GamesCom showcase this afternoon, the MGS man promised that developer Robot - founded by ex-Ensembles employees after MS closed the AoE creator - are "skilled" with the series.
"I'd say about 75% of the team have worked on Age of Empires before," he said. "So it's the core team that you can feel comfortable with and who are well skilled with Age [of Empires]."
Ensemble splintered off into various different upstarts following the completion of Halo Wars, which was the studio's last game.
On Microsoft's ambitions for the online game - which was announced this morning - Luehmann said: "I don't have a set number of users but I'm really curious to see how the fans react to it."
In the same interview the Microsoft Games Studios GM said the company is finally looking to "invest" in Windows gaming.

Video: Bob Birch, Wallace Fowler & John Allison on THV 11 News, KAIT 8
by Lance Turner
Posted 6/26/2013 01:55 pm
Updated 1 year ago
Arkansas Business news partner THV 11 News had Bob Birch, regional president of Centennial Bank, on its morning show Wednesday to talk about Home BancShares Inc.'s $280 million deal for Liberty Bank of Arkansas Inc., announced yesterday. Home BancShares, of course, is the holding company for Centennial Bank.
"It really started with a friendship between Wallace Fowler and John Allison," Birch told Ashley Blackstone in the clip above. "John Allison is actually from Jonesboro -- went to school there, grew up there. So in some aspects, Mr. Allison's getting the opportunity to -- quote -- go home."
Birch reiterated that the deal is set to close in September, and that Liberty Bank customers will start seeing the changeover by the end of the year.
More: Watch Wallace Fowler and John Allison talk about their big bank deal in this video -- and you can see my Arkansas Business on THV 11 News report on the merger here.
Also: Below, Allison and Fowler interviewed live yesterday afternoon on Jonesboro's KAIT-TV, Channel 8. It includes Allison's plans for the naming rights at Arkansas State University's football stadium, currently named for Liberty Bank.

VirtueMart Language Packs
In a previous article, we began looking into how to run VirtueMart under a different language, one other than English. Much of our testing and research showed that VirtueMart Lanauage Packs needed to be downloaded and installed. In our testing with VirtueMart 2.0.6 however, we were not forced to download any language packs in order to setup our online store to run in Spanish. This makes sense because the last language pack added to the VirtueMart files was in May of 2010, for VirtueMart 1.1.4
When reviewing the news announcement of VirtueMart 2.0.0 being released, one of the new features included:
Multilingual store as a native solution
Based upon all of these details, it appears that VirtueMart Language Packs are no longer needed.

Launcher Pro, my favorite launcher replacement, got updated today with a much requested feature - homescreen transition animations, available to all LP users, not just Plus. In addition to the usual and very smooth slide effect, we now have 4 more: Scale, Rotate, Flip, and Cube. All are smooth, except for the Cube transition, so I would advise against using it until Fede makes it a bit more snappy.
Launcher Pro, one of the greatest Android homescreen replacements (Sense who?), received an update today with 2 excellent new features: virtual homescreen looping and a Recent Apps dock popup.
The virtual looping feature enables scrolling past the leftmost or rightmost homescreens with a quick bounce-to-the-opposite-end effect. While Fede implemented it this way instead of an endless scroll for technical reasons, I think it's visually a lot better and clearer, as you will still know when you've reached the end and won't feel lost in your own homescreen forest.
