Our peninsula will have wall cabinets suspended from the ceiling above the peninsula. It will have an extended counter for use as a dining area. The current design has thin under cabinet fluorescent fixtures attached to the suspended cabinet bottoms. The cabinets have valences and longer cabinet doors to hide the view of the light fixture sides when viewed while standing. My wife opines that the fluorescent fixtures will be ugly when viewed by people seated at the extended peninsula counter. Further, she considers the fluorescents to be "old" technology and she thinks the plastic lenses are ugly. She says that she wants the under cabinet lights to be recessed in a finished cabinet bottom.
Suggestions are welcome. Thanks! (cross posted from Kitchen Forum) |

I haven't listened to the audio from Calvary Baptist Seminary's Advancing the Church conference yet, as it wasn't available until yesterday or so. I started listening to the panel sessions, and plan to listen to most of the messages. I have been reading several reactions to the conference, however, and I wanted to make my readers aware of the conference and the discussion it has generated.
The conference featured fundamentalist leaders Dr. Dave Doran (pastor of Inter-City Baptist Church and president of Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary, both in Allen Park, MI), Dr. Kevin Bauder (president of Central Baptist Theological Seminary in Minneapolis, MN), Dr. Tim Jordan (pastor of of Calvary Baptist Church in Lansdale, PA) and Dr. Sam Harbin (president of Calvary Baptist Theological Seminary in Lansdale, PA). The guest of note, and the keynote speaker, however, was Dr. Mark Dever (pastor of Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington, DC and president of 9 Marks Ministries). Mark Dever, is a leader in the Southern Baptist Convention and is not a fundamentalist (in the sense of the fundamentalist movement common in independent Baptist churches). Mark Dever is a leader among the conservative evangelicals, and his ministry focuses on equipping local churches and promoting historic Baptist church polity.
So at ATC, we had Fundamentalists and Evangelicals Together! Well, at least one evangelical, together. I don't know if the acronym FET will work as well as the one which marks another contemporary Church phenomenon (ECT)**. And furthermore, I am not sure what we have here is any kind of official convergence bringing opposing factions closer to a mutual agreement. But I, for one, am encouraged by the participation of Mark Dever in the ATC conference, and the fellowship that was shared publicly and in private between the fundamentalist leaders mentioned and Mark Dever.
To help understand what happened at ATC, the following news reports will help.
Baptist Bulletin has three articles reporting on the conference:
- "Shake Hands Often": Mark Dever at Calvary Baptist Seminary, Lansdale, Pa.
- "Why Are You Here?": Panel Discussion at Advancing the Church Conference
- "Less about Doing, More about Being": Reflecting on What Has Changed
Brian McCrorie and a few others, contributed several summaries of the panel sessions and individual sessions on the Sharper Iron Event Blog. Click here for all the Event Blog posts, and click here for Brian's concluding thoughts about his experience at ATC.
Dr. Kevin Bauder gave his reflections, which amounts to a very long blog post detailing his own personal conclusions, presently, about Fundamentalists working together with Evangelicals. For those wondering if Kevin is ready to eject from fundamentalism, this should answer your question with a resounding NO. Personally, I think Kevin Bauder is defining separation to broadly and ready to apply it to quickly — but that's my general take on most of fundamentalism in general. If you're interested you can see a bit of an exchange between yours truly and Dr. Bauder in the comments under that long post. I think Dr. Bauder clarifies himself but I still disagree.
Here is the link to where you can freely download the conference audio. Warning the file sizes are quite big.
Let me know if you have any thoughts on this. I'm interested to hear if anyone attended this conference or has listened to some of the audio/followed the blog conversation thus far. Are we looking at an eventual collusion between conservative evangelicals like Mark Dever and fundamentalists? Personally, I think both groups could be improved through such a scenario.
**I should note, that I am not in favor of the goals of Evangelicals and Catholics Together.

Changes at the 2. Season at the Female League |
Christian 'Noir' Heinrichs16.02.2012 |
Hello Female Community, today we can present you a new Sponsor for the 2. Edition of the Female League. [Preview_ende]This means that the 20 € registrationfee is omitted. Also a few other things will change. Here are the facts: League Server will be provided. Location: Germany, Poland and Czechia. There will be coverages about each group and gameweek. We will stream 2 Matches each week. Sign in past 30.03.2012 14:00 GMt+1 Start: 02.04.2012 The Groups are at the Modus BO1 mr15 League Groups: 02.04 - 19.04 The Play-off´s are at the Modus BO3 mr15 Play-off´s: 14.05 – 28.05 Prices in the playoffs: 1-st Playoffs: 200 Euro 2-nd Playoffs: 100 Euro place 3 Playoffs: 75 Euro place 4 Playoffs: 50 Euro place 5 Playoffs: 25 Euro place 6 Playoffs: 25 Euro place 7 Playoffs: 25 Euro place 8 Playoffs: 25 Euro |


text: Back in January, A-Trak and Cam'ron announced their collaborative EP, Federal Reserve. Without hearing one track, we already knew this Fool's Gold x Dipset pairing would be amazing. Today, Complex posted the cover story for their conversation with A-Trak and Cam, "Two The Hard Way." Not only does the article look awesome, we get to hear a little more about the project, including how Just Blaze and araabMUZIK are featured co-producers on the project. Both have made some bangers with Cam and the Dipset crew, so this will be a proper return to form. It's also dope to hear that Miss Info was pretty instrumental in bringing Cam up to speed on A-Trak, and that they worked in the same studio instead of emailing Pro Tools sessions back and forth. Feels like this could be more of an organic project. Check out the full cover story, the hilarious trailer up above, and get hyped with "Humphrey," the first preview of the project.

2008 Mercedes-Benz C Class Pros and Cons
Posts: 14
The new C is a beautiful car outside and in. But as one of MB's biggest fan I have to say there are a few hicups. First, the entry level C300 could use a bit more power. Second, what happened to options like 'keyless go, parktronic, and seat memory switched in the doors'? And third, more wood is needed in the dash (the control panel looks Japanese in design). I believe MB may have a supplier problem and rushing the C to the American market. I will not purchase my C until these options are offered (they are offered in Europe and Canada). Picky, picky, picky, but this is suppose to be a luxury car.
falvor88 Posts: 6I couldn't agree more. Keyless go would of been nice and the seat memory is definitly necessary especially if you have multiple drivers. THey do however offer parktronic (called quick park) and is a dealer installed item. I'm having those put on in the next few days by the dealer.
I must say though.. .even without those items.. its a great car! -
oberpfallz Posts: 3Hello all, I used to be a Product specialist for BMW but just switched to Mercedes. Any questions regarding the New 2008 C or any of the other models, please feel free to direct to me. I can also answer availability concerns in the North Georgia Area starting October 1 2007..
I used to post on the boards as KandG and have written stuff in the LR3 forums, 300zx z32, and for the BMW E46 3 series,
Greg (uberfallz) -
electrician Posts: 4
1mbfan1 Posts: 14Yes 'toybenz' that is so true. This is another cost saving design which so-calls cheapens the car. Now the headrests blocks your rearward visibility...I thought the new C was design around 'safety'. As for power front headrests, those would have been tied in with the power memory till/telescopic steering wheel package (hence: switches afixed to the doors).
toybenz Posts: 10As fate would have it, my 2000 C is in today for a "B" service, and I have an '07 C280 4MATIC rental. I do like all of the features mentioned in post #7. I was also curious if you know the answer to this: there is a large hump on the left side of the driver's footwell. Is this due to the catalytic converter, or rather is it related to 4MATIC hardware? (My apologies to the board for veering off topic).
jurisdr Posts: 11Hi Greg,
I have a few questions regarding the steering wheel controls and the ipod accessory kit on a C300 Sport. Is there a voice-activated bluetooth feature with the C300? If the iphone is docked in the ipod station in the glove compartment, can the phone functions be used via the steering wheel controls?
Michelle -
1mbfan1 Posts: 14Hi Michelle. Until Greg answers I can give you my two cents worth (smile). First, Bluetooth interface is standard on all C classes. Second, I'm not sure of your iphone question but I believe if you link your iphone with the car you can use the steering wheel functions...then dock the iphone with the ipod dock for use with your audio system. To be certain, ask your dealer.
1mbfan1 Posts: 14I believe the memory slot 'they' are referring to in only on the new 2008 C Class. It's a slot that allows you to retrieve music from your computer and store them on a hard drive that is inserted into the slot - so you can play music in your car. It's becoming prevalent on more
automobiles. -
be325 Posts: 91We never bought a car in its first year of production. I think the new C was being sold in Europe for some time and hope that any flaws that surfaced have been corrected. MB needs to get to the 'Average' or 'Above Average' level in reliability.
We like the new C-class and so far, we heard nothing negative from the new C-owners in the forum...... perhaps they are still in the infatuation period? -
nedzel Posts: 787Then I guess we have a different definition of "some time."
VW models have often lagged two years between Euro and US launch. And still there were major bugs...
I doubt that you'd see any significant quality difference in a couple months. It takes a while for most problems to appear, for them to be realized as a trend, for them to be solved, and new parts get to the factory.
We've got a 2002 C240 -- second year of production -- and it still had some significant teething problems. -
jrct9454 Posts: 2,363Our '08 C300 Lux has 5000 miles on it [a long road trip soon after delivery, which was just over 2 months ago]. It was built in Bremen in June, and carries a 17xxx serial number. So far, there have been no issues at all....everything works, and this is probably the best of 54 cars I've owned since 1962 [including 14 other Mercedes, AND an '02 C240].
The difference in the way this car feels, how solid it is, how really well put-together, vs. our W203 C240 is hard to explain, but it is noticeable and notable. This car makes me believe Daimler may have its act together again.
It's quick, quiet, very comfortable, and solid as a rock - we couldn't be happier.
At this point in its life, our C240 had a couple of annoyances, including wheel alignment and a leaking differential, that had come up and been fixed. We never had any of the electrical gremlins that plagued the early cars, but then we avoided things like memory seats and the CD changer that were big sources of trouble. Before it was sold, the only other thing on our '02 was the failure of the horn, replaced twice. I liked that car, but the new one is on another level altogether. -
cdnpinhead Forest Lakes, AZPosts: 3,331
jrct9454 Posts: 2,363The seats in the C300 are as good as any we've had - no problems with 8-10 hour days in the saddle....but then, all of our MBs have had good seats for long touring days. I consider this a strength not just for MB, but for all of the German manufacturers.
Anyway, under no circumstances would I pay extra for leather seats...no one I know can tell the difference, and I'm very happy that MB has gone back to MB-Tex as standard. Easy to take care of, no difference in comfort, much more durable... -
be325 Posts: 91Good news on all fronts!
Ah, one more question, ... someone wrote that the back headrests obstruct the rear view (they can't be folded with the push of a button). I was planning to take them out (and put in the trunk)... we rarely have passengers.
Any problem with the back head-rests?
Thanks again.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Penny!
Facts about Penny
- Breed: Spaniel (Unknown Type)/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) Mix
- Color: Brindle - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Penny's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
This 25 lb girl is a sweetheart! She is a perfect size for any living space. Penny knows just how little she is so she will curl up on a pillow or on your lap in order to get some love. She adores having her belly rubbed. She will make a great friend to all of the furry creatures you have in your house currently. For Penny no dog is too big or too little to make friends with. She will love to be in the car with you to enjoy a ride anywhere, especially to a hike. Penny is very social with everyone so when you have your friends and family over for any party she will be a great host! This little girl is packed full of love for your family!
Other Pets at Long Road Home Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Penny, a Manhasset Spaniel (Unknown Type)/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Spaniel (Unknown Type)/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) for sale in Manhasset, or seeking a Spaniel (Unknown Type)/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) dog from a breeder in Manhasset.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Manhasset already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Manhasset breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Spaniel (Unknown Type)/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) breeders who help with Spaniel (Unknown Type)/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Manhasset paves the way for another one to be saved.

Online Home Business Ideas-Self Discipline Will Set You Free
Throughout this amazing article I will be sharing with you some astonishing online home business ideas that will help you reach the kind of results that you have envisioned for yourself. My goal is to commit to develop myself and then to share the concepts I learn with you, the reader. I believe that in this way we all benefit. Today I will be specifically discussing the power of self discipline and how, by implementing it in your life, you can transform your existence forever. Take mental notes on these incredible online home business ideas and you will set yourself apart from the crowd, achieving your destiny, which is a destiny of financial freedom.
Online Home Business Ideas-Take The Right Actions
The first of the online home business ideas when it comes to self discipline is to take the actions which are necessary for success. I have a feeling you already know what they are. If you are a network marketer you realize that it's all about prospecting, enrolling people and duplication. Anything that does not involve these activities is frankly a waste of time. You can certainly add marketing to that short list. The first component of self discipline is to always be taking the actions that you know will get you closer to your goals.
Online Home Business Ideas-The Right Time
The second of the online home business ideas when it comes to self discipline is to take the right actions exactly when you are supposed to be taking them. Many business owners and network marketers make the mistake of putting off the important actions in favor of less important ones. They do this mostly out of fear. For example, mediocre sales people and network marketers prefer to work on paperwork all day rather than to be face to face with a prospect because they are afraid of the rejection. If you want to set yourself apart and achieve results you must avoid doing this and you must be willing to shatter your fears and take the right actions at the right time. Do first things first and your victory will be massive.
Online Home Business Ideas-Take Action Even If You Don't Feel Like It
The third of the online home business ideas when it comes to self discipline is to take the right actions exactly when you are supposed to be taking them whether you feel like it or not. You cannot operate a successful business based on the way you feel day to day. You have to work with your mind, just like a scientist, rather than with your emotions, which will betray you time after time. You don't feel like talking to people today? DO IT ANYWAYS!!! You are not in the mood to blog today? DO IT ANYWAYS!!! You feel down today? TAKE MASSIVE ACTION ANYWAYS!!! Ignore your feeling and proceed to be an action taker at all times.
Online Home Business Ideas-Are You Ready To Triumph?
These online home business ideas are for people who are serious about transforming their future. I can promise you that if you develop self discipline, nothing will be able to stop you. Master yourself and you will become a master of your destiny and of your financial future. I have given you the majestic airplane that will take you past the atmosphere of failure and into the Universe of achievement. Take action immediately on these online home business ideas and you will claim victory at last.

speak the truth in Love... "How would you feel if proof is given that what you believe is wrong? For example, say that you were in a car, traveling for the first time to a certain place. You have a road map, but you have not taken the time to check it carefully. Someone has told you the road to take. You trust him, sincerely believing that the way he has directed you is correct. But suppose it is not? What if someone points out the error? What if he, by referring to your own map, shows that you are on the wrong road? Would pride or stubbornness prevent you from admitting that you are on the wrong road?

The Invention of Lying
In an alternate reality where even the concept of a lie doesn't exist, a down-on-his-luck loser named Mark suddenly develops the ability to lie, and finds that dishonesty has its rewards.

Top Critic Reviews
Rotten: It's bogged down in too many squishy romantic-comedy pieties.
- A.O. Scott, At the Movies, Monday, October 5, 2009
Rotten: The last third of the movie is as bad as anything I've seen this year, with the laughs trailing off, and half of the supporting characters, the zestier ones, being airbrushed from the frame.
- Anthony Lane, New Yorker, Monday, October 5, 2009
Rotten: It] does have its moments -- most of them courtesy of Gervais and his very specific brand of self-deprecating, always equivocating comedy -- just not nearly enough of them.
- Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times, Friday, October 2, 2009
Audience Reviews
Lying: Def - To present false information with the intention of deceiving. Is lying bad? Can lying be good? I dont like people who lie to me, most especially about the small teeny weeny things, cuz if you can lie to me about those then what more about the big stuff? This movie makes lying seem to be a good thing IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS, and then it mixes it with a light jab of an aetheists view of religion and my aunties views about partnership and marriage (Genetics, oh you know old people and their views about how things should be..). Twas quite enjoyable ^_^ Most folks probably hated this cuz it does give out this message that "Oh, its okay to lie." -- Im not gonna go into the whole debate thing. Just watch it if you like the trailer, if not, then dont! :P!

I already heard some reviews about this movie before I watched it, and it wasn't a pretty good reviews... But what I saw for 100 minutes, this movie is pretty funny... Ricky Gervais is a brilliant scriptwriter for creating such an original comedy like this one... Yet, he was really great too for having so many A-class actors that played as a supporting cast and cameo in here... Name it : Jennifer Garner, Jonah Hill, Jason Bateman, Tina Fey, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Edward Norton, I just can say WOW...!!! The story itself begins with a really interesting story, even it becomes a little boring in the middle, but the ending made it just okay... Even there's a lot of defect on this movie, but what Ricky Gervais already done in this movie, I should gave him a big thumbs up for creating a hilarious and original comedy like this one...

In a world where no one ever lies, the world is about to change when someone who is referred to as a loser tells the first lie. Mark Bellison (Ricky Gervais), is the worst screenwriter at Lecture Films & knows that he is getting fired because everyone tells him he is & his boss, Anthony reluctantly, comes into Tom's office & fires him. The night before this happens Mark has a date with Anna, (Jennifer Garner) which is set up by Anna's mother, who believes that Anna will end up alone. She even tells her own mother that she won't be sleeping with him or kiss him goodnight. When the night is over & Mark takes Anna home, she tells him that she'll probably never see him again, and on the day that Mark gets fired, she sends him an email telling him that this is true. So as you can see Mark is miserable & alone & nothing is going right but one day whenever he is evicted from his apartment because he can't pay the rent. He goes down to the bank to close his account & withdraw whatever amount is in there & he tells the teller $800 when there is only $300, but since no one in town never lies, the teller gives him the $800 believing that the system made a mistake. He starts telling more lies. He writes a screenplay & tells his old boss that he found it in a chest & Anthony invites the whole staff in to hear it. Mark also tells everyone that there is a special place you go when you die & about a man in the sky. His movie that he wrote is successful but there's only one that he doesn't have going for him Anna. Anna who is his best friend who makes him happy. Anna finds that Mark makes her happy to but she doesn't want to be involved romantically with Mark because their children would have snub noses & they would be fat. So even though they both are in love, they can't be together. Instead Anna starts seeing Brad, (Rob Lowe) who is incredibly rude and conceited. They even almost get married because they are a perfect genetic match for each other but Anna then realizes that she loves Mark & she wants to have children with little snub noses who are fat. This is a truly remarkable movie that has Ricky Gervais in what I believe is his best role & Jennifer Garner as well. It's a heartwarming tale of true love for anyone who loves a good romance with a splash of comedy combined, giving you a perfect, romantic and a very comedic marvel of a movie. I suggest you watch this great & wonderful movie!!! :)

Neck, back & spine Injury
Illinois workers compensation lawyers
Many occupations require some manner of lifting, pushing, or pulling for the worker to properly perform on the job. But regardless of whether the work involves heavy objects, back, neck or spine injuries can and do occur. The experienced workers compensation attorneys affiliated with Mitchell S. Sexner & Associates LLC have handled countless cases involving injuries such as these, from minor soft tissue back strain injuries to the most serious cases involving spinal fractures, paralysis or death.
Often, a worker will complain of back pain although it may at first, appear to be only lumbar or lower back strain. The worker may put up with the pain for a long period of time, assuming the discomfort will eventually go away. Sometimes this occurs, but other times, an MRI or other diagnostic test is necessary to rule out a more serious condition, such as a fracture, a herniated disk (ruptured disk) or a bulging disk. The worker may complain of a radiating nerve pain, which may include numbness, weakness or tingling, called radiculopathy (nerve impingement). Treatment for such a work injury can range from conservative treatment, to lumbar injections (epidurals), to surgical intervention (including such procedures as discectomy, laminectomy, laminotomy and cervical or spinal fusion).
A worker can suffer a compensable workers compensation injury to the neck, back or spine in virtually any type of job, including basic office work. But some of the jobs most at risk for neck, back and spine injuries include: construction workers, carpenters, warehouse workers, truck drivers, sales people, roofers, delivery people, laborers, and factory workers. Such injuries may include:
- Paralysis
- Death
- Numbness
- Tingling
- Herniated disk
- Nerve damage
- Tendon damage
- Spinal cord impingement
- Myelopathy
A talented and knowledgeable IL workers compensation lawyer, such as those associated and affiliated with Sexner & Associates LLC stand ready to assist you with on-the-job injury. As complicated formulas used for determination of benefits and compensation apply, the job of our skilled workers compensation attorneys at Mitchell S. Sexner & Associates LLC is to aggressively pursue the maximum settlement or award based on such computations. Phone lines remain available 24 hours / day. So contact us at (800) 996-4824 to discuss your rights and to avoid any unnecessary delays when receiving the medical treatment you are entitled to. Statutes of limitation do apply to these workers compensation cases, so you should not delay.

Sorry but this item is currently unavailable.
Please check back at a later stage.
As the United States Supreme Court judges sit in their chamber, to their right, front, and the left sides are friezes depicting the 18 greatest lawgivers of the world.
The second frieze to the right features a person holding a copy of the Quran, the Islamic holy book. It is intended to recognize Prophet Muhammad as one of the greatest lawgivers in the world, along with Moses, Solomon, Confucius, and Hammurabi, among others.
Here is what the Supreme Court's website says about this frieze:
Muhammad (c. 570 - 632) The Prophet of Islam. He is depicted holding the Qur'an. The Qur'an provides the primary source of Islamic Law. Prophet Muhammad's teachings explain and implement Qur'anic principles. The figure above is a well-intentioned attempt by the sculptor, Adolph Weinman, to honor Muhammad, and it bears no resemblance to Muhammad. Muslims generally have a strong aversion to sculptured or pictured representations of their Prophet.
In the year in which the frieze of Prophet Muhammad was erected, Franklin D. Roosevelt was president, and Charles Evans Hughes was the Chief Justice. It is not known how the court deliberated on this architectural contribution. No one at that time thought it inappropriate to include Prophet Muhammad as one of the greatest lawgivers of the world at the chambers of the United States Supreme Court. This was despite the fact that American society at that time was not as diverse as it is today. Women had just acquired the right to vote, and Japanese-Americans were about to be sent to concentration camps.
While the learned people in our country knew of the contribution of Prophet Muhammad, our neighbors today are given regular doses of misinformation about the Prophet and Sharia, the path of the Prophet, more commonly described as Islamic law.h
For more Muslim perspectives about Sharia please visit Sharia101.org.
Please also read Rose Wilder Lane's Discovery of Freedom. She is the daughter of Laura Ingalls Wilder, of Little House on the Prairiefame. She considered Prophet Muhammad, Prophet Abraham, and the American Revolution to be the three major sources of freedom in the world.

Bobst Showcased Versatile Productivity
October 2, 2009CHICAGO—10/02/2009—Versatile Productivity is the theme as Bobst Group North America (Booth# 3605) showcases the latest in diecutting, blanking, embossing, folding-gluing and inline Braille application technology.
Featured on display, and running live production demonstrations, will be the Bobst EXPERTCUT 106 LER and COMMERCIAL 106 Autoplaten® diecutters and EXPERTFOLD 110 A-2 folder-gluer with Handyfeeder and ACCUBRAILLE rotary embossing device. Additional offerings featured and discussed at the Bobst booth will include the Bobst InTouch online ordering system, HIGHWAY VISTA production data connectivity solution, Plasmatreat, Bobst Consumables, the Super Strip System, the all new AngleLock® Receiver System along with a full range of finishing solutions and productivity enhancing products for commercial printers and folding carton converters.
Live Demonstrations
Live production demonstrations will take place throughout the show upon request. During the demonstrations, visitors will witness the production of four unique products that address a range of capabilities available to commercial printing and folding carton production. These products include:
Pocket Folder – A typical job for the commercial printer or trade finisher, the pocket folder features 16 pt. stock and a two-up layout that will be die-cut, creased and embossed in a single pass on the COMMERCIAL 106 Autoplaten® diecutter. The final operation takes place on the EXPERTFOLD 110 A-2 folder-gluer where folding and gluing creates two interior pockets and finishes the product.
Wonderfold, Crash-lock bottom carton – Demonstrates the EXPERTCUT 106 LER Autoplaten ® diecutter's ability to feed, register, die-cut, blank, strip and stack at high speed and in a single pass. The New Super Strip System and New AngleLock Receiver System demonstrates superior stripping, blanking and quick set-up capabilities.
Paris Box, Crash-lock bottom carton – The first operation on this product demonstrates the versatility of the COMMERCIAL 106 to die-cut a wide range of materials at high production speeds. The second and third operations, folding and gluing and embossing Braille on the carton, are completed at production speeds in a single pass on EXPERTFOLD 110 A-2 CS with the optional ACCUBRAILLE device.
#10 Envelope – This product highlights the COMMERCIAL 106's ability to run (feed, diecut strip and stack) lightweight paper with speed and precision. The paper used in this demonstration is representative of common materials used by commercial printers. The COMMERCIAL 106 was specifically designed to run lightweight papers, but performs equally well when running solid board and micro-flute corrugated paperboard.

So I read the instructions on how to best apply this product, something I rarely do with lipsticks because I'd like to think I'm pretty competent... anyway, it said to apply it on the bottom of your lip and then press your lips. This makes sense because this way the color distributes evenly.
I gotta say, I love the color! It's been living in my purse since I purchased it about 3 months ago and it's my go to for a "just bitten" lip look. Super moisturizing and my boyfriend has even complemented on how pretty it looks which is a shock because he NEVER notices these things!
More reviews by jaclyngravesmakeup
feels very silky and is very moisturizing
color wrapped in outer core of argan oil.
gloss, lip treatment, lipstain all in one
long wear (about 2 hours)
the color is only in the center of the lipstick, so to get the perfect application I apply it just a little bit above my lipline for the color to get to the edges...
BUT.... this means that the color is buildable, so you can apply it on the edges for a clear gloss on your lips, and then apply it as you normally would a lipstick to add a little bit of color.
Pros: the color (Berry Bliss) is beautiful. Lipstick smells and tastes pleasant. Formula is softening and moisturizing though not as rich as I'd hope. All natural. It has decent staying power--it's nowhere near long-wearing, but I can get a couple of hours out of it before I have to touch it up.
Cons: the design. This is THE biggest drawback to this lipstick. The color is centered with an outer layer of clear hydrating ingredients. Yes, switching it up so the moisturizers are on the outside and the color on the inside looks exceptionally pretty, and is definitely what is not usually done (moisturizing core in the middle of the color). But you know what--there's a reason why what's usually done is usually done: try applying Josie's lipstick straight from the tube. It's impossible to apply the color precisely to the lip line--it falls short. I either have to smooth it with my finger or use a brush in order to get an even, defined lip.
So nice product, very poor delivery. I'd probably buy it again because I like the formula, but having to always have a brush with me is a major downer.

Working lots of hours so I'm looking to keep the garden work
to a minimum. As far as tomatoes are concerned, I'd like to pound in a 4-5 foot wooden stake at the time of planting, tie it a couple of times, a couple applications of time release fert and that's it. BUT... I want them to produce all season and taste great. I guess semi-determinates 4 foot or so is what I'm looking for. So far I've got Better Bush, New Big Dwarf, Husky Cherry, Druzba and Cosmonaut Volkov. Any other suggestions or thoughts on these would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Larry |
Follow-Up Postings:
I've generally found that all my tomatoes are low-maintenance, so long as they were properly supported. I've never had much success with just staking, but perhaps I wasn't doing it right. So I rely on big reinforcement wire cages. I grew Cosmonaut Volkov last summer and it was one of my top producers. Except for sticking a cage over it I did next to nothing to maintain it. But are you sure that what you have is semi-determinate? My Cosmonaut Volkov was an indeterminate for sure. |
New Big Dwarf is determinate, Druzba is indeterminate, Better Bush is compact but still indeterminate, and C. Volkov is definitely an indeterminate. They will easily outgrow your 4-5 foot stakes. Good cages, drip irrigation on a timer, and excellent soil prep at planting time will go far to decrease the work needed if the pests and diseases and weather cooperates with you. Good luck. Dave |
It sounds like you might be interested in the new releases from the Dwarf Tomato Project. The link below gives a brief description of the project, and the new varieties that have been released so far. I think the tallest of the new dwarfs is 4 or 4.5 feet. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Dwarf Tomato Project

Tatiana's TOMATObase seed catalog can be searched by "dwarf" in the Description field. Not everything that comes up is a dwarf -- some are basket types -- but she usually gives plant height or at least enough information to know if it's the size you're interested in. You can also download a .pdf version of the catalog, and IIRC there's a dwarf section there also. She's in Canada but you can order in dollars. [If you're not familiar with it, take a look at the TOMATObase itself to find information on more than 3,000 tomato varieties (usually OP). There's a section listing dwarf tomatoes here: |

Sep 16th 2011 8:14PM I looked at the listed items, was impressed with the concept of the posters. The luxury throws, the poker set (running theme), the designer toy. However I felt it this was a very poor selection of character goods. There is more however. Such as the coffee mug set of four which features one mug of Varian and another of Garrosh. Was this excluded due to the Diablo and SC one as well?
The posters are neat and I do recommend having these shipped over carrying them at the event since you are charged for poster tubes at the event and have to carry them about regardless. One less headache if shipped. ^_^
Have yet to be impressed with any figure print exclusive. I just have an issue and concern over the quality. Back in 2008 when they offered the pendants for ally/horde in the bag, most broke and had to be exchanged. Given the delicate nature of the products, not confident on ordering it and dealing with it damaged. Figure Prints at least offers an exchanged when you order through them but what about this particular figure? No details are available.
Disappointed to see the Ally and Horde towels are not listed. Those would have been more printed money for them. They are offering the seat cushion as well as the pennants.
I concur with those that are disappointed not to see another CD offered. I would have loved that.
I am thankful that there is not really a lot I want this year but hope to see some surprises still of some items that may have not been listed. But sadly I do feel disappointed.

My first Blizzcon was in 08 and while there was nothing major in it like the figure, the goody bag had a lot of nice little character goods that appealed to a larger variety of fans. Heck the picture gallery offered on WoW Insider was great. There was a lot to admire. However with the price increase and the goody bag having less variety of items I am not really looking forward to the bag as I used to. Is it worth it? Yes very likely it is. But it was the little things like the Diablo mints, the hand wash, and QQ tissue that really brought memories.

Could HP Make Trouble For Other 3D Printing Stocks?
Chris Lau, Kapitall: HP CEO Meg Whitman is set on getting into 3D printing. What does this mean for rival 3D printing stocks?
In addition to strong quarterly earnings and a bright outlook, there may be one more reason for 3D printing companies to be wary of Hewlett-Packard (HPQ). CEO Meg Whitman said it plans to enter the 3D printing market organically.
[Read more on Kapitall: Could 3D Printing Actually Take Down Major Retailers Like Wal-Mart?]
For investors, HP's move into 3D printing could be very good for potential upside. HP is not planning to make expensive acquisitions, and will leverage what it already knows in the printing business to grow the department from within.
Strong starting point Investors reacted positively to a quarterly earnings report that saw HP gain market share in the printing and PC markets. In the fourth quarter, HP generated $2 billion in free cash flow, while net income was $1.4 billion. The company ended the quarter with no net debt. HP earned $1.01 per share on revenue of $29.1 billion. Click on the interactive chart to view data over time. Entering 3D printing On the conference call, Meg Whitman said HP would enter 3D printing but will do so by finding its value proposition by market segment: "So we intend to play in the 3D printing market … It's obviously different than paper printing but some of the technology is the same … we anticipate … entering this organically. And what we're doing is focusing on what's the value proposition by market segment, whether that be consumer or industrial. What's the competitive differentiation and we've got some very interesting things coming." The efforts will likely not bear fruit until sometime in 2014 or 2015. With HP shares valued at a forward P/E of 7, the company is deeply discounted compared to other 3D printing stocks like 3D Systems (DDD) or Stratasys (SSYS) . Stratasys trades at a forward P/E of over 70: Click on the interactive chart to view data over time. For now, printing profits of $1.1 billion account for 17.7% of HP's total revenue. In Q4, shipments grew 6% thanks to good results from Ink in the Office. When 3D printing is finally introduced, it will be a smart part of sales, but if HP finds ways to leverage from its existing printing unit, growth could increase rapidly.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

I just recieved an oak table that is a big dinged up. It has a natural color finish, not my favorite, but the price (free) was right.
So my first step is to try some restore-a-finish, so far on the leaf and the legs it is working good, but the regular table is more dinged up. My questions are, can or should I do more than one coat, will repeat coats help? If as time goes on I decide to try and darken the table, maybe with a gel stain treatment what can I use to remove the restore-a-finish stuff as they say don't poly over the restore-a-finish. Would gel stain even work? Maybe in a dark walnut type color, I have painted and reupholstered chairs (black paint and zebra seats) that I am going to use with the table. Perhaps if it becomes that much of an issue the best would be to strip it and restain it from scratch. For now I just want to get using it as we have no other table. Thanks for any advice |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by bobsmyuncle (My Page) on Mon, Aug 24, 09 at 12:26
Since the ingredients in Restor-a-finish are trade secret petroleum distillates, I would not have a clue. Maybe you should ask them. RAF does not build up a film finish, it merely cleans the surface and leaves an oil film (like polish). Sarcasm aside, if it is indeed petroleum distillates, naphtha and a bunch of clean rags should remove most of it. But I would recommend b) using a non-poly varnish. Since Valspar bought Cabot last year, they've re-branded McCloskey's Heirloom (soya-alkyd) varnish as Cabot 8000 series. While you have to look for this "outside the Norm," it is readily available at independent paint stores carrying Valspar and also at Do-it-Best hardware stores, even if you have to use the free "ship to store" option. |

POSTED: Friday, August 19, 2011 - 8:11am
UPDATED: Tuesday, August 30, 2011 - 3:21pm
Precopio Concepcion Cardenas has been charged with continuous sexual assault of a child and two counts of sexual assault.
His 18 year-old step daughter reported to police that he had been sexually assaulting her since she was 11 years-old. Her mother, Irma Cardenas, knew about the assaults and she was also arrested and charged with failure to stop or report an aggravated sexual assault of a child. Police say victims need to come forward as soon as possible. Donna Police Department Lt. Rick Suarez states, "Make an outcry, that is against the law. Whether it's your brother, uncle, cousin. It's against the law for any one who is an adult to touch you if you are under age and have sexual contact. Even if you're over age, if the contact isn't welcome, it's against the law."

Copenhagen may be the best city in the world for a business trip.
It is compact, walkable and easy to navigate. The travel time between the airport and city centre is just 15 minutes via easy, frequent rail links. Its upscale hotel stock is plentiful, varied, well-maintained and design-inspired. Fine dining and entertainment options abound. And while English is widely spoken, most residents possess a firm command of three or four other languages.
Despite its laid-back reputation (and the presence of an amusement park in the heart of the city), Copenhagen is very serious about business. For example, the World Bank's Doing Business 2013 Index ranked Denmark as the easiest place in Europe to do business for the second year in a row. Companies are drawn to the southernmost Scandinavian country for its sound infrastructure, innovative thinking and efficient government, leading investment bank Goldman Sachs to recently state that Denmark has the highest commercial success potential of any country in the world, thanks to these factors.
Most visitors' first impressions are formed when stepping off the plane and onto the homey hardwood floors at compact Copenhagen Airport, which has ranked as Europe's most efficient for eight of the last 10 years by the Airport Research Society. SAS Scandinavian Airlines is the flag carrier of Denmark, Norway and Sweden, and Copenhagen Airport is its primary hub, offering nonstop flights to points across northern Europe and around the world plus a bright two-storey business class lounge.
Also known among locals as simply Kastrup, (the name of a nearby suburb) the airport is located 8km south of city centre, and is connected to the city, suburbs and outlying regions by both metro and rail links. Fares to city centre by S-train or Metro are 36 Danish kroner each way. S-trains depart from Terminal 3 every 10 minutes during the day for the 15-minute trip to Copenhagen Central Station.
Automated Metro trains depart as often as every four minutes during the day, and make multiple stops along the Airport metro line. Taxis take about 20 minutes to reach the city centre (depending on traffic) and cost about 250 Danish kroner; credit cards are accepted.
Copenhagen's Metro system is in the middle of a massive upgrade and expansion, adding two new lines and 17 new stations, so be prepared for detours around gritty, noisy construction sites on city streets and squares. When complete in 2018, the state-of-the-art system will carry 130 million passengers a year, greatly reducing vehicular traffic and making streets safer for the 40% of Copenhageners who commute by bicycle.
The beloved, neo-classical Hotel d'Angleterre reopened in May 2013 after a two-year, down-to-the-studs renovation resulting in 60 expansive suites and 30 standard rooms. The ornate, sugar-white building is located in the heart of town next to the Royal Danish Theatre Old Stage on Kongens Nytorv Square and connected to the famous Strøget pedestrian shopping street. Even if you cannot afford to stay here (rates start at around 2,900 Danish kroner per night), stop by the hotel's trendy champagne bar Balthazar or dine at its classy Nordic/French Marchal restaurant where you will rub shoulders with local or visiting dignitaries, celebrities and socialites.
For a refined, boutique hotel experience, check out the 17-room Nimb hotel, located across the street from the Central Station, and adjacent to the famous Tivoli Gardens amusement park. All rooms were renovated in 2009 and feature elegant four-poster beds, wooden floors, fireplaces, Bang & Olufsen audiovisual systems and views through arched Moorish windows to the gardens. Any of Nimb's four restaurants are perfect for entertaining clients or colleagues.

Rumor: Demi Moore Wants Rumer Willis to go to Rehab
"Demi's Rehab Fears For Rumer," blares a headline from Star, which claims Demi Moore is worried her eldest daughter, Rumer Willis, may have a drinking problem.
The mag says on October 21, Willis "was photographed guzzling a bottle of champagne while partying with pals in Cancun, Mexico."
Days later, the actress was supposedly "sucking down mixed vodka drinks" at an L.A. bar, notes the tab.
Now, Moore allegedly fears her daughter is headed for rehab.
According to a so-called "family friend," "Rumer's partying is getting so out of control, Demi and other loved ones are very concerned that she could reach the point where she needs help, just like her mom did."
RELATED – CLAIM: Rumer Willis Needs Rehab
The purported "insider" claims, "Her life basically consists of sleeping, then going out to hang and drink in bars and clubs, where she's happiest."
How sad… that Star would float an inaccurate report about what is a real problem for many people.
A source close to Willis tells Gossip Cop the actress is doing fine, and that no one is urging her to go to rehab.

No one has reviewed this hotel to date as 90% of the guests are Russian and the rest are eastern european. The employees at the hotel also avoid talking English at all costs. Having sais that the hotel is great. Food is very very good and offers a wide variety - for kids even chips for breakfast. The facilities are also brilliant. The pool and slides are superb. I have 13 yr old twins who despite struggling to find friends owing to the language barrier had a ball. The rooms are small - norm for Turkey but the AC is really good.The entertainment during the day and evening is fine despite the barrier. The all inclusive package doesn't exclude much but at 11PM the place dies. Meal time is like the charge of the light brigade and a family strategy is required to avail of the food, a table and cutlery. If you do decide to stay in Analya the Utopia Water Park is a must as is the trip to Aspendos if you like history

In "World of Wonder," a Tapestry of Faith program
Your deepest roots are in nature. No matter who you are, where you live, or what kind of life you lead, you remain irrevocably linked with the rest of creation. — Charles Cook, founder and director of Wild Earth Adventures
IN TODAY'S SESSION... we learned about some interesting partnerships in nature, discussing how very different creatures can be helpful to one another. We played an active game in which participants pretended to be sea anemones and clown fish, working together in partnerships. We created and played with Nature's Partnerships puppets. We added a sea anemone and a clown fish to our World of Wonder mural and sang "We've Got the Whole World in Our Hands."
EXPLORE THE TOPIC TOGETHER. Talk about... partnerships in your family and congregation. Are there times when you work as a team? What is easier about having a partner? Are there times when having a partner makes things harder? What makes someone a "good" or helpful partner? Are there things you can do together with your family or your congregation that you would not be able to do alone?
EXTEND THE TOPIC TOGETHER. Try...
A Family Adventure. Help keep the ocean clean for clown fish and sea anemones by volunteering for the international coastal clean-up, described on the Ocean Conservancy website. If you do not live near the ocean, volunteer to help clean up a local river or lake. A good book to read together about trash and the oceans is Tracking Trash: Flotsam, Jetsam, and the Science of Ocean Motion by Unitarian Universalist Loree Griffin Burns.
Family Discovery. With your child, search online for the terms "animal partnerships," "mutualism," and "symbiosis." (You can also contrast these with parasitism, in which one animal benefits but another is harmed.) Print out pictures of partnerships in nature. Create a partnership mural.
A Family Ritual. Foster awareness of the ways each family member contributes to the well-being of the family. Begin a dinnertime ritual in which each person takes a turn naming something they did during the day to help someone else in the family, and expresses gratitude to another family member for the help they provided during the day.

This camera is one of six installed in 2007 as part of a public/private partnership grant to counter rampant drug dealing on the block; HALO cameras were also placed in parts of downtown Denver; Manual, Lincoln, Montbello and East high schools all installed digital IP cameras, to be monitored by school security staff. But the cameras on Colfax — and their effect on privacy — drew the most attention. "The scientific research shows that these cameras do not work to reduce crime," says Chris Calabrese of the ACLU's New York-based Technology and Liberty Project, which runs the website www.youarebeingwatched.us. "Study after study shows that surveillance cameras push crime around to other locations, but they don't actually reduce the overall rate of crime."
Martinez doesn't have any studies of Denver's overall program, but he can cite stats about this particular stretch of Colfax: "Crime decreased anywhere from 30 to 45 percent in the areas that we had cameras." Certainly, the drug dealers have been replaced by hipsters smoking cigarettes — but then, cool new bars have also moved into the area. Have the cameras reduced crime, or have they just moved it somewhere else?
1 a.m.: 1000 Chopper Circle
For pictures and a map of Denver's HALO surveillance system, go to the Latest Word blog. Contact the author at jared.jacangmaher.com.
The HALO camera I've positioned myself under is mounted to a light pole in front of the Pepsi Center. With an egg-shaped dome and transmitting nodes sticking out from the distinct white box, it almost looks like a high-tech vulture glowering down — but it's actually part of a Rapid Deployment Surveillance System from Avrio Group, a Maryland-based surveillance-technology company.
What makes these cameras different from closed-circuit cameras is that there are no cables; the images are sent though the air in an elaborate, Internet-based "mesh network." This means that the cameras can be rapidly deployed in high-crime areas. "We hit the technology gap at the right time with wireless mesh technology," Martinez says.
HALO also received start-up grants from the Urban Area Security Initiative, a federal program established after 9/11 to prepare cities for terrorist events, which paid for twelve cameras. But it really hit the mother lode when the Democratic National Committee chose Denver for its August 2008 convention: A million dollars in federal security money enabled Martinez to buy fifty more $20,000 Avrio cameras for use during the convention, when the images were routed between sixty federal, state and local law-enforcement agencies. One of those cameras was placed over the "Free Speech Zone" area for protesters outside — way outside — the Pepsi Center, and might have actually filmed the five people willing to use that area. Meanwhile, overblown fears of protesters prompted downtown businesses and building owners to install an estimated 400 more surveillance cameras on their premises.
But there's nothing much to watch tonight on these DNC cameras. A twenty-something male comes lurching down the sidewalk with the swaying gait of a severely drunk person. Since this Avrio camera has night vision along with full pivot and zoom capabilities that can read a license plate at 200 yards, I decide to zoom in myself. The twenty-something stops, then lies down near the big Pepsi logo. He looks like he might vomit, but instead he pulls out his cell phone.
2 a.m.: 20th and Blake
The clubs are emptying out, and you can hear the bouncers screaming at people to finish their drinks. Guys standing in clusters catcall at a gaggle of short-skirted females. The cameras can be useful for crowd control, Martinez says, but they still need to have police on the ground, because crowds can be unpredictable.
Indeed, one girl now lifts up her skirt and flashes her butt. She is wearing black lace panties, which she pulls down seductively as the guys cheer. Her friends pull her into a car and speed away.
The DPD has adopted a lengthy HALO policy that states the system is "exclusively for public safety and law-enforcement purposes." Other cities have had problems with police using the cameras to zoom in on attractive females; two officers in New York were disciplined for recording a couple having sex on a rooftop. Denver's policy prohibits cameras from looking into private residences, and all recordings are automatically purged after thirty days unless marked as evidence.
Detective Charles Boyles, who spent fifteen years in various local narcotics task forces before joining the HALO unit, points out that it's not just citizens who are being watched. "Some officers think that the cameras are there to watch them," he notes. In fact, it was directly beneath this light pole — before this particular camera was installed — that an undercover officer smashed a man's face into the concrete as crowds headed to Coors Field for a Rockies game. The officer charged the man with resisting arrest and assault. But an independent camera crew getting stock footage of the Rockies game had filmed the arrest, and after the teeth-smashing was played in the media, the charges against the man were dropped. The officer was suspended from the force and is now awaiting trial on charges of assault.
3 a.m.: 14th and Cherokee
Three HALO cameras are mounted to light poles right in front of DPD headquarters, recording nothing right now but cop cars and vans entering and leaving the basement garage. It seems somewhat counterintuitive to locate mobile video surveillance equipment directly outside the place where you are running your surveillance operations; couldn't you just look out the window?

PORVORIM: Urban development minister Francisco D' Souza assured members of the house that the government will identify technology for setting up of a garbage treatment plant for the state of Goa.
The minister also said that the government is examining a proposal of setting up one or two garbage treatment plants which can take care of garbage generated in rural and urban areas of Goa.
"The government is serious on the garbage issue and by December, technology will be finalized," D'Souza said.
Members of the legislative assembly also said that garbage has adversely affected tourism in the coastal belt of Goa.
Replying to the private member resolution moved by the Porvorim MLA Rohan Khaunte, D' Souza said that the government has received many proposals to set up a garbage treatment plant in the state. "All technology will been compared and will be identified by the department of science, technology and environment," D' Souza said. The minister also informed the house that 14 municipalities have already identified a site for setting up of a garbage treatment plant and land acquisition is in process. "Seven municipalities have already started garbage treatment facilities," D' Souza said.
The minister also assured members of the house that all MLAs will be taken into confidence while setting up a garbage treatment plant.
Khaunte, in the resolution, has said that the government should form a corporation for solid waste management for Goa and proposed that one of the secretaries to the government should head this corporation and eminent social workers, NGOs from Goa should be appointed as directors in the corporation. "The MLA should be made chairman of the sub committees pertaining to their respective constituency," Khaunte said.
Khaunte also said that it should be seen that the state is free from plastic and it has to move in that direction.
"We have to think how to encourage a plastic-free Goa," said Khaunte, adding that the idea to bring a resolution was to have a focus on how to solve the garbage problem in the state.
Taking part in the discussion, Curchorem MLA Nilesh Cabral informed the house that he is ready to convince the people of Curchorem to allow setting up of a garbage treatment plant if the government convinces him and his people that the technology to be used will not create a stench from the waste.
Calangute MLA Michael Lobo said that due to the garbage problem in the coastal belt, tourists arriving from Germany have stopped visiting the state. Lobo said, "At least in coastal constituencies, the garbage issue should be sorted out on priority."
Fatorda MLA Vijai Sardessai said that the government should encourage locals to take up garbage management business. Sardesai also said that the government should charge tourists who produce garbage in the state with garbage tax as locals have to suffer.
Nuvem MLA Francisco 'Mickky' Pacheco said that the government should come up with a policy to acquire land in the village for garbage treatment facilities, which can solve the garbage issue.
Taking part in the discussion, Dabolim MLA Mauvin Godinho said that the government should see that enough garbage is generated for setting up of a modern scientific garbage treatment plant.

Auto-dimming Mirror Manufacturer
eps105 Posts: 216Subaru used to use mirrors made by Donnelly. They have since switched to Gentex mirrors. This is retroactive even for the older models, and the connectors fit the same.
When my Subaru auto-dimming mirror made by Donnelly for my '03 Forester stopped working, I purchased a replacement from my dealer. He gave me a Gentex model and I told him he gave me the wrong style, he said no he didn't - it fits and that's the newer one. He was right.
The Gentex units have the compass right in the corner of the glass. I thought I liked the Donnelly design better, but the Gentex unit is MUCH less bulky and works great. I'm not even sure Donnelly is still in business.
Hope I helped.

With just over a fortnight to go before climate talks start again in Cancun, a new report warns that the renewables share in final energy consumption will be "very difficult to meet".
Despite growth by renewable energies generation in 2009 (15 per cent for wind and 53 per cent in solar photovoltaics) the 20 per cent target is a "very challenging target", according to a report published today by Capgemini, the consultancy.
The European Commission's assumptions imply that by 2020 the output from renewables will effectively double from around 600 TWh today to around 1,200 TWh by 2020, with about 500 TWh of this increase coming from wind. According to Capgemini, this could be very difficult to meet as:
- In much of Western Europe the most favourable onshore wind sites have already been taken, which means the development of offshore wind farms that are more expensive and more technically challenging to build
- Project finance capital is likely to be more constrained over the next decade than over the last
- The subsidies needed to drive the development of offshore wind and solar energy in many European countries over the next five years will be negatively impacted by their financial situation
Cheaper gas – the spectacular development of unconventional gas in North America, has led to a sharp gas price decrease – is another factor as it makes wind look even less competitive.
You can listen to more on the report in an interview with Colette Lewiner, head of Energy, Utilities and Chemicals at Capgemini and the author of the report, on our weekly podcast later today.

Ah, shucks.
Poor Kim So Yeon. This is her 2nd time injured on location, while shooting and it seems like she really needs to take it easy. I hope she gets plenty of rest before resuming to work! IRIS, only 2 months away… 아자아자!!
Kim So Yeon's "IRIS" shooting injury, needing 14 stitches
Actress Kim So Yeon got injured while shooting. As a result, her ligament was ruptured and needed immediate assistance. This is her second injury in 3 months, the first time was in May when she has to treat her injury with 12 stitches.
According to "IRIS" production team, Kim So Yeon has shown her enthusiasm in doing all those action scenes. Therefore, she got injured in the process, though it was as serious as people thought it could be.
In the meantime, the rest of the cast, such as Lee Byung Hun, Kim Tae Hee, Kim Seung Woo, Jung Jung Ho, TOP (Big Bang) have made "IRIS" cast so attractive and appealing. The production team spend about 200 million Won to shoot this drama all across Asia and Europe, including other overseas locations.
"IRIS" is scheduled to be airing on KBS2 TV on October 14.
