Global Business Coalition recognises Shell Petroleum Development Company for Niger Delta Aids Response programme
SPDC, in partnership with Family Health International (FHI), designed the NiDAR programme with the purpose of establishing high-quality comprehensive HIV/AIDS care, treatment and support services. NiDAR provides a national strategic response framework for HIV/AIDS using a de-centralised approach. The programme operates in the southern part of Nigeria, within SPDC-supported healthcare facilities located in five Niger Delta states. NiDAR builds upon the existing infrastructure and human resources of these facilities that serve as primary healthcare level centres.
One of the underlying goals of NiDAR is to strengthen primary health care delivery for under-serviced communities. Mutiu Sunmonu, SPDC Managing Director commented, "We recognise that HIV/AIDS is not merely a public health issue, but a societal one. As such, it demands a strategic social investment response from everyone in order to empower communities and stakeholders to act together for the common good. This is one of many projects that SPDC is proud to undertake throughout the Niger Delta in areas that include health, education and capacity building in partnerships with many third parties. It is an honor to see this effort recognized by the Global Business Coalition "
The partnership has so far led to 6,824 individuals - of which 3,789 were female -- being counselled and tested for HIV/AIDS. A total of 1,248 or 18% of those tested - 810 being female - were informed that they were HIV positive. As a result, NiDAR enrolled a total of 1,049 HIV positive individuals - of which 702 were female - into comprehensive HIV services. 1,779 pregnant women also accessed services for Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT). In addition, the programme imparted a total of 244 government healthcare workers at NiDAR facilities with a diverse set of new skills.
SPDC served as an active partner throughout the development and implementation of the project. SPDC contributed US $1.5 million to FHI and provided in-kind services, such as logistics, security and transportation support, and medical staff supervision.
On Wednesday, June 24, 2009 at the Capital Hilton, the 8th Annual Global Business Coalition Business Excellence Awards Gala will bring together representatives from businesses, governments and NGOs who are actively involved in the fight against HIV/AIDS, TB and Malaria in a wide range of ways around the world. Each year, more than 700 proponents of this important cause attend the gala. The GBC recognises companies for approaches and execution that have produced outstanding on-the-ground impact that saves lives and enhances the health and well being of employees, families, and communities around the world.

Yes, I did read the posts, here and elsewhere.
Nowhere did it say this was run by a little old lady.
The trojan was back in October, this is December.
Their voice mail, dated in October, said they were back up and running.
None of this excuses not retuning e-mails and voice mails.
Had they done that, I might still be waiting.
They didn't, I had to act because there is a time limit on when a
CCard company will let you protest a charge.
This person obviously does not know or care enough to run a successful business.
Hopefully, they will soon give up and sell it to someone who can.
You can be as patient as you want.
I'm taking my business elsewhere!

I wish I read this thread last year ,I ordered a number of plans over two monhts ago and still no show, but what cuts me up is that i have sent two emails asking nicely if there where any issues ,and sadly there was no reply.

My card was charged 10 October and I did receive an invoice from RCM plans "service". Nothing else! I have never been able to contact them by either phone number and three e-mails have been ignored. I have dealt with them before and they were always slow but I always got my order in good shape. I suspect this time I've been had. The competition; MAN's Air Age Store charged my card 10 SEPTEMBER. I finally sent them a letter as nothing else worked and got an e-mail today indicating that they have no idea why I didn't get my order. We need a plans service run like a business...anyone willing to volunteer?
|Feb 15, 2013, 08:30 PM
I ordered a set of plans from RCM about two and a half months now and still nothing. So far I had made a call and was told that they were to be shipped out on a Friday; heck that was three weeks ago. For me.... that was $27 dollars I threw out the window, I'll be dumping my RCM plan catalog next as it makes no sense to me to even look at it with this service. Need something interesting to build?!? Try Bob Holoman, MAN or Traplet, that is good service.
|Feb 15, 2013, 10:48 PM
Ive lost $45 dollars on this oder but its not the money thats getting me down ,its that I really wanted to build the planes .Ive gone out and bought the balsa and gear while waitng ,these can fortunately be used on new projects ,but RCM should not be charging until the goods are posted.

RCM Plans
Well I guess I am in the same boat ordered 12-12-12 no plans yet.
Sent and email about a week ago no responce, so in the mean time I bought
a kit instead.
|Feb 16, 2013, 12:03 AM
These guys couldn't suck any harder. I learned my lesson with them a long time ago. Now if I want plans I look to R/C forums or ebay....
|Feb 16, 2013, 03:23 AM
Its been more than two years since I've ordered from RCM plans. I do remember it taking several weeks to receive the plans. I've ordered several sets of plans between 2008-2010 and received them in a timely fashion.
I do know that the woman that used to manage the plan orders for RCM when they were still in publication bought the rights to the plans and was producing them as a small business venture. Lately I've seen more than one thread questioning the reliability of RCM plans. I do not know for sure, but my guess (for what it's worth) is that there may be a health issue. Again - my guess.
It would be a shame to builders if the availability of these plans ends here. So many designs and categories.

Here is post from another forum, the lady is using the virus excuse but when I log into my account all the details from all of my orders from the last three years are still there including the one I am waiting for,if she is having issues it would be best to let us know ,I have sent four emails now all unansweredBelow is the answer from the other group.
I just called RCM Plans tonight to check on an order I placed on 11/6 and the nice lady on the phone asked for my order number and last name. In talking with her she mentioned that they had a major computer crash and their computers were infected with a virus and they not only lost all their e-mails but all orders and order numbers.
She said she will be shipping out my order in the morning.
If you have placed an order in the last couple of months please call them at 877-247-2290 and give them your order number!
Good luck!

To ring them from Australia would just add to the cost. What a loss to the hobby to have a plan service turn out as a get rich project. I hope they spent my money well and enjoyed it. Yours Paul T

somebody needs to go there in person and set it right.
|Feb 21, 2013, 11:31 PM
There is just a PO box for the Address. Other forums express the same concern. I started worrying when I realized that there is no answer to phone calls or email. I hope they are still in business. The Web site is server some where else not at RCM and it is good through August this year base on a post I read. So If any one gets through to them let us know. right now I doubt any one will be able to.

This iReport is part of an assignment:
In Memoriam
Robin Williams was born on July 21, 1951. (Gotcha beat, guy! LOL....)
I first took note of this raging bull of comedy when he was Mork on HAPPY DAYS. The shining star of droll humor in a show that -- well -- sorta kinda needed him.
My name is Robert – vis-a-vis his Robin. But my nephew Robert was named after me, and they still call him Robin.
But I didn't really NOTICE Robin Williams until DEAD POETS SOCIETY. A VHS tape pretty much worn out from the number of times I played it. And the day after I first saw it at Academy Six Theatres at the Greenbelt Mall, I drove to St. Andrews School in Middletown, DE, to experience what every movie junkie should live -- going to the filming site then walking through the movie. But I didn't run down that huge field from the dorm to the waterfront yelling YAWP!!! – as Ethan Hawke, another film master, did portraying Todd Anderson's devastation after his roommate Neil (Robert Sean Leonard) committed suicide in the film. Men were out there mowing – I was a visitor – the better part of valor.
When my sister called me last night to tell me the news, I immediately thought of that scene -- and its possible impact upon Robin........). Could that be...???.... naw.
But then again......
The more time that passes after she told me, the more I see myself in Robin Williams. My ancesters are from Delaware (1679 -- bought land from a Delaware Chief), and St. Andrews School is in fact the church school affiliated with Christ Church Christiana, founded, built, and first pastored by my great-great grandfather Rev. Samuel Crawford Brinckle. Another connection. Also, our upbringings have been very similar. My sisters are all older than I, as were Robin's step-siblings; my eldest sister is 10 years my senior.
Robin saw humanity as an absolute target of his histrionic humor. He could never resist that opportunity.
But the biggest connection is, Mr. Keating (Robin's character) inspired me to immediately change my career to teaching. I became exactly like Mr. Keating, and my students have reacted the same way over these 25 years (Neil Perry excepted, fortunately). I have taught the same way -- and the administration responses have also been the same. When I taught 20th Century American Literature to 11th graders, I also assigned the films the novels and plays inspired, plus two other films – SEVEN YEARS IN TIBET (which by itself firmly positioned the American people against the Chinese government) and DEAD POETS SOCIETY. Both films in turn brought forth truly majestic essays by my amazing students. (The American people so, so underestimate the imagination, insight, and capability of their adolescents!!!)
Another Robin Williams great that moved me – and also helped to mold my teaching and literary approach – was GOOD WILL HUNTING. The way Robin's character digs deep into Matt Damon's character is absolute millenial Hollywood – and Broadway too, as it were.
So now suicide?
No, I was not expecting it – certainly not prepared for it. Does this mean such is my fate? No, 'fraid not folks. This is where Robin and I part ways. Does this make me less Shakespearean than Robin? Maybe.
I dunno – maybe by age … (it hurts to say the number, so I won't) we look back and make – er – DECISIONS. I hadn't seen Robin on film in a while. Is that it? Either he didn't want to see himself get progressively older – or maybe he figured his worth had expired since he was not filming much any more. Maybe something deeper – DARKER.... Excuse me for livin', Thesbians, but this is where I get off the bus and bid adieu. I lack the – whatever you call it – to do what Robin did yesterday. If that makes me lesser, so be it. When push comes to shove, I leap off the stage, leave the theatre, and move on with my life.
So yes, this alas is one place where he and I differ. Furthermore, I am NOT by any means the theatrical great Robin Williams was. I am really just saying here that Robin Williams had a huge impact upon my life – taught me many things – set the example for me – showed me where to go and what to do there. For that, Mr. Williams, I eternally thank you. And Planet Earth thanks you, Mork. For all the amazingly great things you did while you were here. We shall never forget you.
And please give all my best to your family and friends when you get back to Ork.
Very Respectfully Submitted,
Robert Brinckloe
Brandywine, MD.

I contacted Sara Peter's office for a wrongful death suit on behalf of my brother and myself. Sara layed everything out for us, step-by-step so we would know what to expect. She kept us up-to-date of her findings and other depositions related to our case. She notified me months in advance for action items as our case progressed. She candidly couched my daughter and I for our depositions as my brother is out of the country on active duty. We trusted her sound advice and our depositions went well. She also prepared me for mediation. From the beginning, she answered all our questions thoughtfully and respectfully. I never felt that my questions were unworthy of her time, or unjustified. She is knowledgeable, stratighfoward, professional and compasionate. She looks at all angles of a situation so as to be one step ahead and fully prepared. I saw her work ethic and I was thankful that she represented our suit. I cannot praise her and her staff enough.
Litigation was my final choice to resolve a matter with a utility company. I was referred to Walkup, Melodia, Kelly & Schoenberger by a friend in Chicago that said they were both professional and effective. After meeting initially with Mike Kelly I came away with a clear and concise understanding of what to expect. He laid out a plan to achieve the most reasonable outcome. Over the next two years his associate Sara Peters worked diligently to gather the necessary information and file the necessary documents to achieve that very goal. Her resolve allowed me to first and foremost settle out of court. The result was more than I expected and far better than I had hoped for. Sara Peters' youth was never indicative of her knowledge, preparedness, or composure. I would gladly refer Sara Peters and Walkup, Melodia, Kelly & Schoenberger again in the future.

On March 18, 2011, USCIS announced (AILA Doc. No. 11031760) that in response to stakeholder feedback, it was undertaking a review of its policy on H-1B cap exemptions for nonprofit entities that are related to or affiliated with institutions of higher education. USCIS stated that until further guidance is issued, it would temporarily give deference to prior cap-exemption determinations made since the issuance of the June 6, 2006 Aytes memorandum (AILA Doc. No. 06060861), absent any significant change in circumstances or clear error in the prior adjudication.
On May 2, 2011, USCIS released an April 28, 2011 memo (AILA Doc. No. 11050130) providing additional guidance on its interim policy. AILA submitted comments (AILA Doc. No. 11051731) in response to the interim guidance on May 16, 2011, and also provided a detailed memorandum of law to USCIS Director Alejandro Mayorkas (AILA Doc. No. 11051067), urging USCIS to borrow from other definitions of "related" and "affiliated" that more accurately reflect the generally accepted meanings of those terms, as it develops further guidance on this matter.
USCIS has also scheduled a national stakeholder teleconference for Thursday, May 26, 2011 at 2:00 pm (ET) (AILA Doc. No. 11051668) to discuss H-1B cap exemption issues for nonprofit entities.

December 20, 2014
Final, official totals reported by Nevada counties with two-thirds of the votes in the state's tightest August 15th race shows Dean Heller picking up two more votes in his razor-thin victory over Sharron Angle in a Republican congressional primary.
The official vote canvass in Clark County shows no change in the
votes cast in the 2nd Congressional District race - or, for that
matter, in other statewide or congressional primary contests.
In Washoe County, the second largest of the state's 17 counties
and the one where most votes were cast in the close congressional
race, Secretary of State Heller's slim victory margin over
Assemblywoman Angle wasn't affected because both picked up six
votes apiece in the final canvass.
Official results from Elko, Esmeralda and Lander counties showed
the same numbers in the House race that were posted last week. In
Carson City, Heller picked up two more votes while Angle and
Gibbons saw no changes.
The bottom line: Heller's 428-vote districtwide win over Angle
increased to 430 based on official returns in the six counties.

Our Specialities
Center Based-Thematic learning
Center Based-Thematic learning is an instructional method of teaching in which emphasis is given on choosing a specific theme for teaching one or many concepts. Thematic learning is based on the idea that knowledge acquisition is efficient among students when they learn in the context of a coherent and holistic way and when they can associate whatever they learn to their surrounding and real life examples. Thematic instruction seeks to put the cognitive skills such as reading, thinking, memorizing, and writing in the context of a real life situation under the broad aim to allow creative exploration. Here at The Foundation For Learning each classroom is divided into different learning areas or "centers": dramatic play, sensory, language/writing, fine motor/manipulatives, library, and science/math. Each month there is an overall macro theme such as Nutrition and then each week there is a micro theme that supports the overall macro theme such as: cooking, fruits/veggies, healthy versus unhealthy, and where does food come from.
Parent Communication
Parent Communication is an important part of any successful relationship between families and schools. At Foundations For Learning we utilize a variety of different types of communication to ensure that parents are well informed. Every child from infancy through Pre-Kindergarten receives a paper daily sheet with information including: curriculum activities, individual notes about your child's daily, basic information about nap time, meal time, and bathroom time. In addition to the daily sheets we utilize text messages, health notices, weekly email newsletters, and monthly newsletters. We also utilize social media such as Facebook and Pinterest to help share pictures, curriculum ideas, and information about school events.
Parent Involvement
Parent Involvement opportunities are part of what make us unique from other programs in our community. One of the best parts about us is that we try to make sure that both children and parents are supported through engaging activities. Each month we feature a family homework project which we use to create books that can then be sent home with different families to enjoy. We also host Friday Parent Late Nights in which the school is open from 6:00pm-9:00pm so that parents can go out for a night on the town. Throughout the year we host many family events: Halloween Festival, Winter Concert, Pre-K Graduation, Alex's Lemonade Stand, etc…
Qualified Staff
Qualified Staff are an important part of any successful learning experience. Our staff is made up of qualified individuals that undergo monthly trainings related to the field of early childhood education and program safety. As part of the hiring process each teacher is fingerprinted and must undergo a DCF background check. In addition, all of our staff is trained in First Aid, CPR, and Medication Administration.
Our Gallery
Enrollment Process
We know that it can be difficult finding a child care setting; it's very important to make sure to find the center that best suits your family's needs and budget. At Foundations For Learning we recommend that anyone interested in our programs schedule a tour of our facility. All tours are conducted by the Program Director and at least one classroom teacher from classroom that is being toured. Tours can be scheduled Monday through Friday between 8:30am-5:30pm. If you need to schedule tours before 8:30am or after 5:30pm please let us know when you contact us. Click here for a list of questions to ask while on your tour.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 - 3 nights
The Lake House is a modern, spacious and beautifully furnished 3 BR villa. Located beside one of the lakes in the gated Samaan Grove development, it is ideally centrally located. Everywhere is within 10 minutes drive - the airport, Scarborough, popular beaches like Store Bay, Pigeon Point, Mt. Irvine Bay and No Man's Land beach, fast food outlets, local restaurants specializing in local foods, fine dining restaurants, and supermarkets.
The property is beautifully maintained, quiet and peaceful, allowing guests to relax and enjoy their stay with no concerns about their privacy or security. On entering the villa, you will immediately appreciate the quality of the design, construction, and finishes, and the striking and contemporary decor. The unique lakeside location allows you enjoy a totally serene and restful environment as you relax on the porch or the pool deck. The open plan design allows easy flows from the Kitchen and Great Room through large doorways to the porch and the pool deck and pool. No detail has been overlooked for your comfort, relaxation and enjoyment.
The Lake House is uniquely positioned alongside one of the lakes in the Samaan Grove development, allowing guests to enjoy the serene waterside atmosphere and scenery. Nature lovers will enjoy seeing the local bird life around the lake as they feed and play in and around the water. As the lake's water is not stagnant and the lake is full of fish, there is never a mosquito problem due to the proximity to the lake.
Every modern convenience is provided in the villa - the Great Room is air-conditioned as well as the bedrooms, and there are ceiling fans everywhere when natural comfort is desired. The high-end kitchen boasts granite counter tops, and stainless steel appliances include side/side fridge with ice maker, smooth top electric range, combination range hood/microwave, and dishwasher. The kitchen island and eating bar with bar stools facilitate drinks, snacks and casual meals while staying at the center of activities. Of course, a washer, dryer, iron and ironing board are provided for your laundry convenience.
The pool, pool deck and porch all look out onto the lake, which provides a wonderful ambiance for kicking back and relaxing, while the pool and pool deck allows the energetic ones to enjoy their water activities. The pool's maximum 4 1/2' depth makes it safe for children and non-swimmers alike. A large gas barbeque grill encourages outdoor cooking and al fresco dining on the porch or pool deck. Entertainment options include DirecTV satellite TV service with a 46" flat screen TV together with Blu Ray DVD player and Home Theater System in the Great Room. Free WiFi internet access is provided. The Master Bedroom also has a flat screen TV so Mom & Dad can enjoy their own favorite TV shows in privacy. The feeling of luxury is reinforced by the spacious and beautifully finished bedrooms as well as the modern European-style bathrooms with walk-in shower stalls with rainshower heads and frameless glass panels.
The spaciousness of the villa will especially please larger groups. At over 2000 square feet in interior space, it means that everyone has ample space to spread out, so no one will feel constricted at any time - whether you are in the bedrooms, bathrooms, Great Room, or on the porch or pool deck.
We had a truly awesome weekned at the Lake House. Honestly, we're really sad to leave. Can't wait to come back!!
The Lake House is centrally located off Golden Grove Road in Canaan in the heart of South West Tobago, within 10 minutes drive to all the popular beaches and a wide range of eating places ranging from fast food to fine dining. Leisure activities available nearby range from bicycle rentals, swimming, snorkeling, surfing, windsurfing, kite surfing, jet skiing, reef tours, deep sea and on-shore fishing, and sailing. Less than 8 minutes drive away, golfers have a choice of the Mt Irvine Golf Course or the Tobago Plantations Golf Course. Popular supermarkets Pennysavers and RT Morshead are just a few minutes drive away, while Canaan Food Basket is just around the corner on Milford Road, making it ideal for a quick run to stock up on fruit, vegetables and beverages. A significant bonus for guests is exclusive land side access to the well-known No Man's Land beach, which is very popular with locals in the know and tour operators. Dramatically positioned at the end of a narrow spit of land and flanked by the Buccoo Lagoon to the south and the Caribbean sea and the Buccoo Reef to the north, the beach is sheltered by the Buccoo Reef offshore. The water is usually crystal clear and glass calm, making the beach ideal for non swimmers and young children.

Having kept my old Islander 28 in Barngat Bay for 10 years I can count the number of time I went in the inlet in the afternoon. Out in the AM is usually never a problem, but the afternoon with the SE onshore breeze and the tide heading out leads to 10-15 ft breakers across the inlet onto those jetties or the old submerged one.
We hit it on a perfect day and were prepared to go on to Atlantic city tilll 9 PM. I was prepared to go back out the inlet as i came in if it looked ominous...it was gentle as apussycat....go figure. Its reputation however is well deserved.

stitching leather sucks. 5 years ago
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

How I did it: I took a leather circle (50 cm in diameter) and cut a hole in the middle(a bit smaller than the diameter of my head) and dipped it in hot water and streched it over a flower pot, a bit bigger than my head. I made the crown from a leather band and the previously cut circle of leather(in the middle of that 50cm band) and glued it together with a band, but i guess stitching works too. I made the cocades after dipping them in hot water. added a hatband to cover the flaws. decorated it with the 2 Xs on the sides of the hat.
heeeew im so happy with my hat! its gonna be my ultimate drinking hat:D
rum and snuff ahoy! Read how I did it… 5 years ago
stitching leather sucks. 5 years ago
i bought my leather and cut the pattern out… the crown awaits to be stitched coz i have forgotten to buy some thread, but the brim is stretched on the pot and the cockades are clipped:)
coooohohohohoooool:) 5 years ago
Today i figured out how to stretch my hat as it is supposed to be stretched. I need a flower pot! ooooh i was so happy when it came to my mind. monday ill go and buy some leather anyway for my sandals ill be making, so i guess i gotta buy some leather for my hat too. and a well-sized flowerpot…(ill look funny with it on the street, considering that ill buy some tees and paints and other stuff too…nevermind) i became so excited over my hat that i made it from paper, just to see how much leather i need… and its cool. itll be hip:D

It's been impossible here in the land of Oz to find a decent pirate hat for sale,either too cheap and tacky or ridiculously expensive so I'm going to have a go at making my own for my character and Pirate partner in crime…so that's two hats!We entertain on a Pirate tallship 'round Sydney Harbour and have our own 'PIRATE SHOW'....aarrgghhh…...... 6 years ago
I am new to this site and purchased a nice stretched felt hat at Fort Niagara at the reenactment of the frenc/Indian war it ead wonderful!!! Met tons of ppl in their garb and now would like to make my hubby the tricorne pirate hat. All they had there premade was straw…nice but I liked the felt better.
can you possibly let me know how you did it…I would really appreciate it.
have a great day,

I just got a wide-brimmed cloth hat and bent up the edges and stitched. Yes, cheating, I know… but it worked, didn't it? The people at the theater told me I had the best costume they'd seen. ;D 7 years ago
I've wanted to make a Tricorne hat for a while now, too. Last night I decided to figure out how it's done. That's actually how I found this site!
But I found out that most hats are actually one piece of felt that is stretched and steamed into the right shape. I had no idea-I thought they were sown somehow. So, this site might help.
I also found a site that makes hats inspired by the PotC movie:
For most tricornes, it's simply a circular wide-brimmed hat with the brim either steamed into shape or sewn to the head part. As soon as I find out where to get a hat block, I think I'm gonna get this done. 8 years ago
i found a site that detailed the steps they used to make a leather one for their jack sparrow pirate costume and i really really want to make my own.
its impossible to find a decient pirate hat for sale they are all costme quality and not for everyday wear which is essentialy what i want, not some cheezy plastic thing with a skull and crosssbones on it.
i simply must do this, it simply needs doing. 8 years ago

This is regarding our booking. I have used letsbookhotel.com for sometime now. I booked 3 rooms well in advance, & had stayed at this hotel before(booked by AMA).
When we got there, they did not have your booking. They did not receive it. We had your confirmation. Luckily they had a few rooms available as it was mid-week.

why does everything go wrong round christmas, im not feeling well havnt felt well for the last couple of days, blocked noise, headaches and a cough, got up yesterday and contemplated not going into work, however after my shower i felt 100x better so i got ready jumped in the car drove 300yards, puff of white smoke out the back(couldnt see out the back window), and the engine stalls. Luckily i managed to get it out of the way of traffic.
Turns out the engine had decided to eat all the oil, suspect one of the piston rings shattered allowing oil into the engine, probably from siezing up with the cold weather:mad:
Since i didnt make it into work(the boss was very understanding), i spent the day looking at new cars since i think the fix would reqiure an engine rebuild and it may have destroyed the Cat aswell, bringing the garage fix to about £1000, other option is to buy a new/used engine and drop it in for about £300 and do the work myself.
any ideas? car is a 2002 Corsa C 1.2

Gathered to view the offerings for the upcoming Fall/Winter 2014 season, this week's attendees included a range of familiar faces.

Well you can't get everything you want! But actually no. It shouldn't. The wii shouldn't be for games like those. It should stick to Mario and Toad games! And of course fun games such as Pikmin. It's not for cod, or mass effect. Invest in a good gaming PC or buy a Xbox 360. You won't regret it.
@aamarmo: It's great that that's what you want but we ask that when users post new threads they do something to try and start a discussion, and we also ask that people use correct spelling and grammar. Failure to do so often ends up in threads like this, which essentially amount to little meaningful discussion and will be locked.

This is the best moisturizer I've tried, my skin feels instant comfort upon first application. I regret the times that i got tempted to try new facial creams, I always go back to Olay. It really works on giving ur skin the glow and smoothness. The facial wash alone makes the skin soft and moisturised, it would give best results to use them together. My skin is combination and this gives my skin just enough moisture, I don't get very oily and it works perfect as make-up base. In my opinion, this works better for me than the Regenerist line.

I love this face cream because of how it makes my skin look! No other cream makes my skin look and feel as nice as this one! It is not quite moisturizing enough when my skin is really dry, but I usually apply 2 layers and that works fine. The bottle doesn't last me very long. I go through one per month, which at $20+ per bottle, ends up being quite pricey for a drugstore product. Also, it comes in a lot of unnecessary packaging, which is wasteful. But everything else I've tried is not as nice, so I will continue to repurchase. I love that it comes in the fragrance free option, I just wish it was paraben free as well.
I've been using this as my daily moisturizer since I was 18 and I'm 31 now. I use the one that comes with SPF 15. I've never really used other daily moisturizers since I started using this one everyday. I've always had very clear and good skin. This doesn't clog my pores or break me out. I have combo-dry sensitive skin. It's light, and absorbs fast. I made the biggest mistake this past summer when I had a temporary break from my tried and true Olay. I finished my bottle and was at Target, strolling down the aisle when I saw Aveeno Positively Radiant. I thought well, isn't this nice, maybe I should give this a try. Afterall, I haven't really tried out any other daily moisturizers and it was cheaper than my Olay Total Effects. Biggest mistake of my life. I will never stray again. My skin just screamed! I was breaking out round after round of cystic pimples. I never went through that horrible bad skin phase when I was a teenager....welp, I went through that now. This has SPF15 in it so it's great for the super cold winter months when the sun is not very strong or for days you don't plan to be out and about. But I personally wear a SPF30 in the winter in addition to my Olay Total Effects, and a SPF60 in the summer months. This is on the pricer side for drugstore brand, but the product is very good and it is comparable to what you get in a department store. For me, it's worth the investment. I love this stuff.

I have been using it from the last 2 months.
Pros: My blackheads are gone! smooth face. I cannot tell you how many compliments I have gotten on my skin. I am not acne prone, and my face radiated after applying this. However I have sensitive skin, which limits my use of almost all moisturizers, high end or drugstore.
Con: I am getting these liquid filled zits on my face (not your classic zit), mostly around jawline.something like a cyst almost. Nothing in my face routine has changed. I will keep using it for another week and see. After that I will stop and update. If this moisturizer is the reason, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WILL USE AFTER THIS! (sigh)
UPDATE: turns out it was the olay causing the hives. I have stopped using it, hives gone. Really sad, because my skin looked amazing prior to the developed allergy.
I wanted to love this product sadly it does not work for me. Everyone's skin is so different and mine is very sensitive. I am enjoying Olay Regenerist Daily Regenerating Serum and tried layering this on top of during the day for its SPF factor. However after only two days I had patches of irritated red rough skin and a huge hive the size of a quarter smack dab in the middle of my left cheek and smaller hives down both sides of my jawline. I have stopped using it and the inflammation has gone down, hopefully I will be back to normal soon. One thing I can say that I liked was the bottle, I love pump top bottles since they are so sanitary.

Don't know exactly what made me react to this product, but I put it on before I went to bed and woke up with a swollen, puffy face. This went back to Target.
Love this moisturizer! I've tried many and this one is definitely in the top 3. I love the texture, matte look, smell (the non-fragrance free one), anti-aging properties, etc. What I like most about this is that it doesn't make my face shiny at all. I've been using this combined with other Olay moisturizers for about 5 years and my skin looks good.
This has been my HG moisturizer since high school. It never blocked my pores or caused any break outs.
I love everything about it! It's the perfect moisturiser. For references have combination skin.

The BEST!
This works really well for me i have acne prone skin with oily areas also sensitive to fragrances. I really like it so far worth the 20.00 spent :)

Quarter of judges didn't declare interestsComment on this story
Johannesburg - Nearly a quarter of South Africa's judges did not declare their interests as required by a new law, the Sunday Times reported.
"Judges who fail to comply with the law must be reported to the Judicial Service Commission," judiciary spokeswoman Lulama Luti told the newspaper.
According to a new law, all working judges had a deadline of until the end of March to disclose shares, financial interests in businesses, directorships, royalties, gifts and hospitalities worth more than R1500 that they - or their families had received.
Pat Gagai, who is in charge of compiling the register of interests said that 64 judges had not submitted the information, while 219 had done so.
Luti told the Sunday Times that one of the judges had declared that he would challenge the regulations; while another had submitted reasons for not complying with the new requirements. - Sapa

9 Wines does not constitute a list -- So what do you call all those restaurants with a book that contains Vintage Year Wines, Captain's List, 2nd label choices, and a sommelier to help.How ridiculous !!!
Best Wine List — Selection Denver 2010 - The Infinite Monkey Theorem - CLOSED
931 W. 5th Ave.
Denver, CO 80204
According to the infinite monkey theorem, a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type a given text, such as the complete works of William Shakespeare. But could a monkey squeezing grapes for even an infinite amount of time ever come up with wines as wonderful as those created by Ben Parsons at his Infinite Monkey Theorem? That's the urban winery he opened last year in a very unlikely area just off Santa Fe Drive. Parsons has quickly become part of the community, though, working with artists on special pairings and offering tours of his place, where you can buy the nine wines — four whites and five reds (so far). It may not be the city's biggest selection of vino, but it's very, very choice. And fortunately, given the limited public hours at the winery, it's now available at 125 local bars and restaurants.
Are you kidding me? Best wine list - selection is won by a local winery that has a whopping nine wines? There are wineries in Denver that produce more than nine wines, and there are certainly restaurants in the area that have a much better selection of wines including Frasca, Barolo Grill, Venice, Le Central, Kevin Taylor, and Flagstaff to name just a few.
This winner, as "cool" as it sounds is a joke, as is the category now. And you lose a good amount of credibility in my opinion for turning this category into a joke.
OK, I'm in the industry and this choice is straight bullshit. (and I love Infinite Monkey and everyone connected with them). This selection represents no knowledge of or respect for what goes into putting together a winelist on the part of Westword's "food writers" and editors: that it is a skill-set and there are exceptional people working in this arena right here in Denver/Boulder. For the record, I tasted close to 1100 wines in assembling TAG's winelist when I was employed there--putting together a list is hard work. And the restaurants that have invested the time to do it well should be recognized. The point is, IMT is a WINERY. THEY HAVE NO WINELIST. THEY HAVE PRODUCTS THEY MANUFACTURE. Great products too, and if you want to create a category for Best Urban Winery, do so! I'll applaud it and second it! But as far as Best Winelist goes...If the staff at Westword truly has no one employed who knows wine and can expound on their knowledge of what makes a good wine list, then HIRE someone. This choice makes the editor(s) of Westword look like frickin' idiots, or worse people who don't care. Bobby Stuckey is at Frasca, Ryan Gaudin is working for Frank Bonanno if you are looking for somms. And Claude Robbins, the head of International Wine Guild lives and works in Denver. WTF? Did you all get stoned and just mail this one in?

Britain's opposition Conservatives suggested the government give the Bank of England more power to tackle asset bubbles and offer banks a collateral-swap for mortgage bonds.
With house prices dropping and the economy headed for its smallest expansion in 16 years, the Conservatives' economic spokesman George Osborne used a speech given in London today to lay blame for those woes at Brown's doorstep and explain how he would manage the economy differently if his party wins office in the next election.
``After a decade of worldwide growth we have ended up with a housing boom followed by bust, spending followed by debt and a country finding it more and more difficult to compete,'' Osborne said. ``Gordon Brown has been found out. His economic reputation is in tatters.''
Prime Minister Gordon Brown is trying to quell unrest among his own lawmakers as the economy slows and his poll ratings sink. Last week, 26 Labour lawmakers backed a motion contradicting government policy, and a YouGov Plc poll published yesterday showed support for their party had dropped to 28 percent, the lowest since Brown took power in June. The Conservatives had the backing of 44 percent of those surveyed.
Brown's View
Brown, who faces local elections on May 1, will meet banking executives in London tomorrow before heading to the U.S., where he will raise concerns about the world economy with executives and President George W. Bush.
``We're going to continue to do everything in our power to keep the economy going and to listen to concerns,'' Brown said at an appearance in east London today. ``Every day that I wake up is about keeping this eco moving forward.''
Mortgage lenders are raising interest rates and pulling loans, refusing to pass on three interest-rate cuts by the Bank of England since December. The average rate on popular home loans fixed for two years rose to the highest since June 2000 last month, the central bank said April 9. The number of mortgage products on offer dropped by a fifth in the two weeks through April 4, according to Moneyfacts, a consumer Web site.
Osborne said today that the government should consider offering banks a collateral swap in which they could exchange mortgage-backed securities for government bonds to improve liquidity.
`Immediate Priority'
``The immediate priority must be to ease the credit crunch and re-open the market in mortgage backed securities,'' he said. ``A broader swap program supported by the Treasury could help.''
Longer-term, Osborne is pressing for the Bank of England's mandate to be expanded to include the emergence of asset bubbles, Osborne said.
``We have seen how the build up of a bubble in asset prices and debt can damage millions of people,'' he said. ``We must try to construct our monetary policy framework so that it will never again ignore an unsustainable build up of debt.''
The speech to the Policy Exchange think tank in London also included a repeat of the Conservative's pledge to slow the growth in government spending to less than that of the economy.
``This is the alternative to the failed policies of Gordon Brown,'' Osborne said.
With the backing of 44 percent of voters, the Conservatives now have more support than at any time since 1992. The YouGov survey of 1,755 voters was conducted April 10 and 11. No margin of error was given. Brown can request an election any time between now and mid-2010, when the mandate of the current Parliament expires.

What does it mean to be a leader?
At our core, we innately understand that leadership matters. I recently searched the book catalog on Amazon.com for books about leadership, and it probably will not surprise anyone that my search came up with 348,433 hits. So on one level, we understand it—leadership is important.
It is fitting that this month's SIGNAL Magazine includes a focus in on the U.S. Army. The month of August also features the 2009 LandWarNet Conference, the Army's premier forum for information sharing and training in command, control, communications, computers and intelligence (C4I) and information technology. LandWarNet 2009 will be held August 18-20 at the Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center, Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The United Kingdom's defense industry is in a state of flux that may lead to a potential round of consolidations in the coming years as small and medium-size firms are acquired by larger national and international companies. This fluid state is being caused by two factors: the global economic crisis and upcoming general elections that could put the Conservative party in power for the first time since the late 1990s—a move that would trigger a major strategic assessment of the nation's defense priorities.
The crystal ball for U.K. communications and information systems is clouding as military priorities and economic realities are combining to limit high-technology spending. The Ministry of Defence has committed to several large-scale programs that will absorb the bulk of equipment procurement money, and it is reining in overall spending as a result of national budgetary constraints arising from the global economic downturn.
Companies now can acquire certified identity credentials that facilitate employees' physical and logical access when they work with the U.S. Defense Department, other government agencies and government-affiliated organizations. A biometrics-infused card authenticates a person's identity using bar codes, a digital photograph and fingerprints. Through a not-for-profit association, contractors become part of an operational system that can exchange credential information with the government.
Modeling and simulation are becoming more critical in military and homeland security efforts, and academia is playing a key role in the ongoing development process. Old Dominion University has dedicated an entire center to the field with emphasis in several areas essential to government, including a division specifically focused on national defense and protection. The center's personnel work with counterparts in other organizations to develop capabilities for efforts as diverse as planning hurricane evacuation routes and improving care for wounded warriors, and they offer analysis for particularly complex problems as well. In addition to their project-focused endeavors, the researchers are creating standards in modeling and simulation to ensure better interoperation in the future.
Modeling and simulation is bringing the world into the command center, into the boardroom and even onto the desktop. The value of models and simulations is increasing significantly as organizations use bits and bytes to strategize. Traditionally, the capabilities have been used for testing and training. But now, by getting to know their customers' aspirations intimately, companies are employing these techniques to give their clients what they need, while strengthening their own bottom line.
Reaching beyond the traditional domains of sea, land, air, space and cyberspace, the U.S. military now is exploring its newest realm: the virtual world. The services are creeping cautiously into the latest frontier of simulated worlds with islands and avatars. This is not a simple maneuver. It is one filled with hurdles and pitfalls, but it is a domain that the U.S. Defense Department understands it can ignore no longer.
Researchers from military laboratories are studying the human element in detecting explosive devices, trying to determine if certain people have an instinct for locating the weapons and, if so, what characteristics they share. The results add another piece to the puzzle in the Defense Department's efforts to counter improvised explosive devices. The work already has uncovered certain facets of information that military commanders can use to identify troops with innate abilities or to train warfighters in specific skills.
Two key projects are defining U.S. Army intelligence efforts to improve its analytic capabilities. While their aim is the same—allowing analysts to process key intelligence information faster and more efficiently—they take opposite approaches to the common goal.

Sarasota School Board hears request for cameras
Date: January 24, 2013
by: Alex Mahadevan | News Editor
Following the Newtown, Conn., shooting, the Sarasota County School District budget will likely increase, while staff evaluates school safety and security policies.
School Manager of Safety and Security Darrell Reyka, during a Jan. 22 monthly workshop, briefed the Sarasota County School Board on district security policies.
During a closed session, Reyka recommended more funding for the capital budget, specifically for the safety and security department, to replace video surveillance cameras.
Government discussions involving security measures are exempt from Sunshine laws, according to the Florida Statutes.
"As you all know, security is a very important issue right now," said School Board Chairwoman Jane Goodwin during a public workshop earlier in the day.
The School District capital budget has fallen 47% from $145 million to $77.6 million, in the 2012-2013 school year from the start of the Great Recession in 2007, according to the current budget.
"A lot of people don't realize the role (video cameras) play," Reyka said.
National School Safety and Security Services, a national school safety-consulting firm, recommended the creation of Reyka's department during a 2003 audit. The firm also recommended buying digital surveillance cameras to replace black-and-white systems that record to VHS tapes.
The district has about 3,200 cameras on campuses throughout the county. Three to six are estimated to malfunction on a daily basis due to weather issues or technical difficulties, Reyka said before the meeting.
"If those cameras aren't working, then I'm not doing my job," Reyka said before the workshop.
A limited number of district staff members currently has remote access to the live video feeds and associated recordings. Reyka said his department will recommend allowing local law-enforcement agencies access.
School Board members also discussed whether to implement a lock-and-key policy to restrict access to certain school buildings. The details of the staff recommendation were not available by press time.
There are currently 11 sites on School District property that have limited or full access control, which means students or faculty need an access card to enter a building.
But, the public can freely access front offices at each district campus.
"Seems to me that at most of our schools people can still walk through the front door," said School Board member Frank Kovach. "Once they're into the office, they can get into the school."
The U.S Department of Homeland Security has made available $830.9 million in three grant programs for increasing school district security, which is among grant funding options Sarasota County School District staff are considering.
During the meeting, School Board Past Chairwoman Caroline Zucker said the school district needs to address mental-health issues, as well.
The school district currently employs 17 behavioral specialists with an average salary of roughly $70,000 each. The district employed 22 full-time psychologists in 2006, according to a 2008 historical financial summary.
"There are a lot of things that can be done (to prevent a situation similar to Sandy Hook),"Goodwin said. "And a lot of those things require a little money."
School Board safety timeline
The last time Sarasota County School officials made significant changes to school safety policies was in 2003. At that time the National School Safety and Security Service recommended the creation of a safety-and-security department and upgrading the district's surveillance camera technology.
Nov. 2002 — Board requests outside assessment
Dec. 2002 — District issues request for proposals for consulting firm
Feb. 2003 — Board approves consulting contract with National School Safety and Security Services
July 2003 — Consultant visits schools, issues six interim reports
Aug. 2003 — District releases executive summary from final safety report.

Need to vent
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 05-12-2003 - 3:22pm
I just need to vent. I'm 29. I've been dating "Matt" for a little over 6 months (he's 30).
A little background on Matt: the longest relationship he has ever been in was 6 months and that had ended right before he met. So this is someone with no experience with long relationships and I think I will end up being his longest one. He also told me (when we first started dating) that he had never been inlove before.
We had a rocky start, but lately things have been great. We have fun together, I enjoy talking to him, and we've definitely gotten closer. We're taking our first trip together at the end of the month – 4 days in Disney World (my friend is getting married there) and I'm very excited about that. He also asked me to go away with him to Cape Cod next month for a few days. He always includes me in family events and has invited me out to parties with his friends. He was excited to meet my parents last month (yes, he was actually looking forward to it). So, I do know he cares about me.
So here's the problem. It's been 6 months. And although I'm not trying to rush anything, I do not want another 6 months to pass by only to find out I've wasted a year on someone who doesn't see a future together. I'm not saying he needs to propose marriage because God knows, I'm not ready for that (I've been engaged and called off my own wedding 2 years ago. I'm in no rush). But he's never even said "I love you" and that makes me nervous. I refuse to say it first, it has to come from him. And I know actions speak louder than words, but I need to hear the words.
And as a result, I feel myself holding back lately. I don't want to get more attached to him. And I've lost interest in lovemaking because it upsets me that I might be sleeping with someone who doesn't love me. I'm at a point in my life where I'm not looking for just fun and friendship anymore.
All I know is I'm pulling away from lately and I think more and more about breaking up because I don't want to suffer a broken heart in a few months when I've really fallen for him. I am so frightened that I'm starting to feel all these feelings for him that won't be reciprocated in the end.
Thanks for letting me vent. I know I have to figure it out for myself, but it's always nice to share!
|Mon, 05-12-2003 - 7:33pm
If you find you're not on the same page, then it's probably best to end it. If you find you are on the same page, then all you can do is ask him if he could possibly see you in that role somewhere down the road, and that, if he ever changes his mind, to do you the favor of letting you know that so you can move on.

Deskjet 9300 with Windows 7
My new pc has Windows 7 (home premium) and I want to keep my old printer Deskjet 9300. I've read the posts here and the HP article "Installing the Printer with an Alternate Driver in Windows 7 for a USB Cable Connection"
When the 9300 was set up on the old computer (Win XP) six years ago, we used a parallel cable. I think the new computer wants a USB connection. The online manual says insert the cd and follow the steps to choose usb or parallel. I no longer have the software cd. Is there a way to make this work? Can I download the software? Does the alternate driver require a usb connection? Thanks in advance for your help.
This question was solved. View Solution.
Re: Deskjet 9300 with Windows 7
Hi, swiss95
I reviewed your issue and want to guide you with the solution for the issue you are facing with.
First thing you will have to use the USb cable for computer and printer connection.
Second thing there is no full feature software and drivers for Deskjet 9300 series printer compatible with windows 7.
Hence you can only use the alternate driver and no full feature suite would be available.
To load the alternate driver you can try the below steps available in the link.
Also if the alternate driver for Deskjet 9300 doesn't works then you can delete the alternate driver from the devices and printers folder and can try and load another alternate driver named as Deskjet 6980 with the same steps of loading the alternate driver but instead of selecting the deskjet 1220C select Deskjet 6980 and install it and try and print a test page and check the result.
Wish you all success.
Click on Kudos if the issue is fixed and if need any assistance further you can write to the same post.
Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself.
Re: Deskjet 9300 with Windows 7
Awesome! Thank you for the quick reply. Yes the alternate driver has the old 9300 up and running. I appreciate your help.
Re: Deskjet 9300 with Windows 7
Hello swiss95,
I am pleased you clicked on Kudos and closed the post by selecting it as Resolved issue.
I am happy to know that your issue was fixed. Enjoy your printer you loved. Bye and thank you once again.
Re: Deskjet 9300 with Windows 7
hi swiss95 i just bought 2 pc and those comes with windows 7x64 i tried both solutions but didnt work, either windows update or the 6980 controller, can you help me¡?
Re: Deskjet 9300 with Windows 7
Hi Andres
I followed the blue link in the message above from the HP expert Abhi_13 who answered my query. I followed the instructions in that article for the 1220c driver. I had to follow the steps for Windows Update button in Step Two. As I recall, the only problem was some confusion about the port, but it worked out OK.
So far, the only thing that doesn't work as before, is the button on the scanner to print straight from the scanner bed-- we have to scan the image onto the PC, then select print. Good luck.

Amazing Spider-Man 2 trailer borrows more villains
by Steve Watts, shacknews.com, Apr 4, 2014 12:00PM PDT
The upcoming Amazing Spider-Man 2 will feature screen-time with at least three iconic Spidey villains: Electro, Green Goblin, and Rhino. But naturally, the game adaptation will add a few more to the mix, for the sake of boss battle variety if nothing else. A new trailer shows some more members of Spidey's gallery that the web-head will have to deal with in the Beenox game.
We get some extended looks at the villains Kingpin and Kraven, a little banter with the anti-hero Black Cat, and very slight glimpses at some others. One even appears to be Carnage, in case Spidey's numerous symbiote stories are your favorite. Check it out below.
