It is said to have cut a range of content deals and is paying "from a few hundred thousand dollars to several million to content creators to create and curate videos for a channel". Read More

F-Zero X Review
F-Zero is a futuristic racing series well known for its blindingly fast and difficult gameplay. Racing is done in jet-like machines that can reach speeds of up to 1500 km/h. F-Zero X is comprised of four main game modes, with a practice mode thrown in for good measure. Gamers have the choice of playing Grand Prix, Time Attack, Death Battle, or VS. Battle modes. Time Attack mode is no different than any other racing game, with the objective being to complete tracks in the shortest time possible. VS. Battle is standard racing but it pits 2–4 players against each other with the remaining characters being assigned to the computer.
Grand Prix is the main single player mode you will want to be playing. At the beginning there are three cups and three difficulty settings available. Each cup consists of 6 tracks in which you will be competing for the highest total of points at the end of the Grand Prix. Points awarded are dependent on the rank you reach on each track. Another difficulty setting and two additional cups can be unlocked by completing Grand Prix mode. After choosing your difficulty and cup, you will be prompted to choose your machine. Choose carefully as each machine has its own unique characteristics. A good choice for beginners is definitely Captain Falcon and his Blue Falcon machine. There are 29 other drivers in the game so variety is no issue. You can also tweak your vehicle for more acceleration or a higher max speed.
While F-Zero is a racing game, there are some elements unique to the series that are important to know. Every machine has an energy meter and these energy meters have a dual purpose. Machines will lose energy when colliding with objects and If your energy is completely depleted, you destroy your machine. Its other purpose is for the boost technique gained after finishing the first lap. When you press B you activate the boost which then removes energy from your machine. Ultimately you have to weigh the risk of using the boost with the possibility of destroying your machine. This adds a little bit of depth to the races and should always keep you alert. To avoid becoming dust, you can restore your machine's energy by driving through areas called "Pit Zones."
F-Zero X has some incredible and challenging tracks consisting of twisting paths, jumps, tunnels, tubes etc. The track design also makes it possible to fly off the track at places with no wall, or when twisting around tubes at ridiculous speeds. F-Zero X does have a steep learning curve and it will take a few tries to master your machine. Novice difficulty is the perfect setting for beginners, because you can get a hang of the track design and controls.
Controlling your vehicle is done by moving the analog stick and pressing A to accelerate. Be careful when racing because if you make a sudden movement that breaks your speed, your machine will lose its grip and begin to drift. A tip to avoid this is to lightly press the analog stick to softly move your machine, and hold the L or R button to shift your machines weight when turning corners. Letting go of the A and hitting it again shortly after will help straighten out your machine as well.
New to the series in F-Zero X is Death Race mode. In this mode the objective is to destroy other machines by depleting their energy, or knocking them off the course. This can be accomplished by spinning or tackling your opponent. Both techniques are simple to learn, but effective once you do, especially for Death Race mode.
Graphics wise F-Zero X is lacking a little bit. While the frame rate is amazing (to my knowledge it has never dropped and if it did I wasn't able to notice) the tracks and textures are fairly bland and standard. Nintendo 64 is capable of much more, but in the end F-Zero X is a fun racing game and this complaint is only minor in the grand scheme of things. On the other side of the coin, music in this game is awesome. Each track is a rocking metal anthem that fits the action perfectly. Stand out tracks are the Mute City, Devil's Forest, and Silence themes.
4/5 D-Pads: Overall, F-Zero X is a great, albeit difficult racing game. It has a lot of things to unlock, including 24 characters, a new difficulty setting and 2 additional cups. It can be frustrating to learn, but when you feel the speed and your skill increasing, you just might embrace the challenge. F-Zero X does lack in the graphical department, but it's a lot of fun to play. If you're a fan of racers then F-Zero X should be one that you try.

"Make Me Beautiful"
Journalist Esther Honig wanted to examine how the standards of beauty vary across cultures. She sent a picture of herself—makeup free and hair pulled back– to 40 different graphic designers across the globe with only one request: "Make me beautiful."
What she received back blew her mind. (And mine.)
Some of the pictures came back with minimal changes, what I think of as studio photo retouching. Like this image from Romania:
Others were radically altered. This one is from the Philippines:
What struck me is that some designers changed Honig's features in ways I wouldn't even think of, going to extremes like changing her eye color, removing collar bones, and altering the shape of her eyes and forehead. Read more »

Yakima moves forward with smoking bans
KIMA has followed the city's decision to crack down on where you can light up. The city considered a ban at all parks.
But decided to take a different approach at a special meeting today.
I was there and spoke with city officials about the upcoming change.
It's events like these that city of Yakima wants to make smoke-free.
A city-sponsored concert attended by folks of all ages, including families with children.
Some city leaders feel smoking at crowded events is irritating and a potential health hazard.
But now, a public safety committee thinks that's too aggressive. It will begin with a ban on smoking at most city-sponsored events.
"I don't think we can moralize every single solitary vice," said Yakima City Council Member, Maureen Adkison.
Adkison says a permanent ban would be too-time consuming for police.
"I don't think it's enforceable,"Adkison said. "The cops have way more things to do."
KIMA has heard from smokers who agree. The city says it's gotten the same feedback. They're not criminals and should be allowed to smoke where they want.
Norma Mays disagrees. She was counting on a smoking ban for local parks.
"For health reasons, like my condition, I had a stroke several years ago."
Lee Jaderland is visiting Yakima from Tacoma. It's a city where smoking *is banned at city parks. Lee says Tacoma's ban doesn't really change how he smokes.Because, nowadays it seems to be banned in more spots than it's allowed.
"Ya got people that get downright upset just because you're smoking in general. It doesn't matter if you're a block away from kids or ten feet," Jaderland said.
City council will vote to finalize the new rule in a few weeks. And then move on to what it considers more-pressing issues.
"I can be working on the gang-free initiative and economic development," Adkison said.
The city will hold one last public meeting in a few weeks before finalizing the new rules.

Hi! I'm taking out my tub/shower combination and replacing it with a shower only, with just one showerhead, a handheld on a slide bar. I was planning it this way to save money on plumbing, so I wouldn't have to switch out my valve. I'd like to have the supply elbow come out at the place where the tub faucet is now.
However, since my water will only need to come out at one place (the supply elbow), and currently water comes out at two places (tub faucet and shower head), am I going to have to change out or otherwise adjust the valve anyway to turn off one of those outlets? Is there some way to remove the current showerhead arm and plug it up (or would it never leak anyway). Please forgive me if this question seems ridiculous, I tried searching for an answer online, but I didn't know how to phrase the question and so I didn't get helpful results. Thanks! |

If you are doing the gut replacement that you describe, then it's a completely false economy to try to "save" what's there. Buy a new shower only setup. And choose a good name brand like Kohler or American Standard. What's functional behind the wall is even more important than the decorative elements that you spend 20x time picking out. |
Thanks for the response. So you are saying that it won't work as is, I'd have to get a new valve? Or it will be somehow less efficient? |
I think what hollysprings is saying is that since you're going to all of the time, trouble and expense of replacing the old tub and shower with a new shower, that trying to save money by reusing the existing valve (which is the "heart" of the system) might end up being a case of being penny-wise and pound-foolish. Better to replace the old valve (more likely to fail) with a new one (less likely to fail) since you have the wall open and easy access. |

This is going to be an odd book review, and I don't care.
That sort of honestly and freedom isn't necessarily what this book is talking about, but, in a way, it's close.
The book is called Permission to Speak Freely: Essays and Art On Fear, Confession, and Grace. Anne Jackson got the spark for this book after she posed the question on her blog, "What is one thing you feel you can't say in the church?"
That is a very challenging question. The book itself…a surprisingly pleasant and uncomfortable challenge. An uncomfortably pleasant challenge? An intoxicating struggle? I don't know what you'd call it. But, it will test you if you let it.
The text is about Anne's story, and how she's using her story as a spring board for others to start telling theirs. She had the courage to start talking, to be vulnerable, so that others—anyone at all who feels afraid, hurt, in bondage, cast down, absolutely alone—can be less afraid to start talking. When someone else speaks first, especially about some of the difficult, dark things going on, it's a lot easier to speak second.
Church leaders need to read this book. Home fellowships need to read this book. Brothers and sisters in Christ need to read this book. Any church body, at any time, should be ready to discuss the more difficult topics in a community, and do so without alienating, hating, and excommunicating the folks that don't agree with the "traditional" idea. There is freedom and grace ready and waiting.
The book itself is not structured in a normal, average book sort of way. It has art and design pieces (submissions of responses to the question) that get you to meditate a bit, to look deeper past your own walls and safe guards. Plus, it doesn't give you all the answers in the end. It doesn't expect you to follow these 5 steps toward freedom. It doesn't give you the layout of exactly how your life in gracious liberty should be, what it should look like, and exactly how to get there from here.
This is a great book. It will be a wonderful addition to your must-pass-it-along library. If you read this book and keep it…then you've missed the point entirely. You need to read it again (don't worry, it's quite a fast read). Then, trust me, pass it on.
Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their BookSneeze.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255 : "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising."

In the ever-changing economic climate, business leaders face unprecedented leadership challenges. Forward thinking organizations look to their pools of talented managers and executives to help build stronger, truly sustainable businesses. With a focus on female executives within those talent pools, Darden Executive Education has designed the new program, "Women Emerging in Leadership.""Our new program provides the thought-generating ideas, samples of experiences and direct coaching feedback to let you experiment and discover who you are, and create the right model of leadership for yourself," says David Newkirk, CEO of Darden Executive Education. "All leaders need to discover who they are, and then create a voice and a way to engage their teams. Our course provides a unique environment for female executives to develop their leadership styles, and for organizations to further strengthen their depth of potential leadership talent." Those attending will be high-potential female executives with 5–10 years experience, and line- and people-management responsibilities. "The creation of this course suggests that there is still a wealth of under-leveraged talent possessed by females in the workforce," says Darden Professor Melissa Thomas-Hunt of the Bargaining and Negotiations area, who will deliver the course with Darden Professors Erika Hayes James, a leader in crisis management and author of the soon-to-be published book Leading Under Pressure: From Surviving to Thriving, Before, During and After a Crisis, and Martin Davidson, Darden's Chief Diversity Officer. The program launches at Darden October 11-15, 2010, and will focus on specific behaviors that are critical in effective leadership. The goal of the program is to develop in participants the mindset and competencies necessary to transform themselves from effective executives to valuable, visionary leaders. Major themes include trust building, conflict management, creating effective networks, leading strategic change and excelling at negotiations.
"As you progress through an integrated week of full-class and small-group discussions, live business cases, experiential exercises and leadership diagnostics, you will evaluate and fine-tune your skill set and create an action plan for evolving your leadership style and enhancing your effectiveness," says James, who serves as faculty leader of the course, which she describes in more detail in a video on Darden's YouTube channel.
The program also combines executive wellness and presence for a holistic approach to development. Peer and faculty coaches will deliver direct feedback, and simulation exercises will provide opportunities to experience diverse leadership roles.
Founded in 1954, the Darden School of Business is a professional school that improves society by developing principled leaders in the world of practical affairs.

Wooster Square is a neighborhood in the city of New Haven, Connecticut to the east of downtown.[2] The name refers to a park square (named for the American Revolutionary War hero, David Wooster) located between Greene Street, Wooster Place, Chapel Street and Academy Street in the center of the neighborhood. Wooster Square is known as a bastion of Italian American culture and cuisine, and is home to some of New Haven's, and the world's, best-known pizza (specifically, apizza) eateries, including Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana and Sally's Apizza.
The square and much of the neighborhood are included in the Wooster Square Historic District which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. The district covers a 40-acre (16 ha) area bounded roughly by St. John, Olive, and Wooster Streets and I-91.[1][3]
An annual Cherry Blossom Festival in Wooster Square Park commemorates the planting of 72 Yoshino Japanese cherry blossom trees in 1973 by the New Haven Historic Commission in collaboration with the New Haven Parks Department and neighborhood residents. The festival has grown from a modest event in the early 1970s with a local band entertaining a handful of neighbors under lighted trees to a major New Haven event that in 2013 attracted over 7,000 visitors.
The Wooster Square neighborhood is considered to consist of the area between the Amtrak railroad tracks (serving as the boundary with Downtown New Haven) and Interstate 91 (between Exits 1 and 3), bounded on the south by the Oak Street Connector. It is bordered on the west by Downtown New Haven, on the south by Long Wharf, on the east by the neighborhood of Mill River, and on the north by East Rock.
Wooster Square takes its name from General David Wooster, who had a warehouse there. In 1825 the land was purchased by the city of New Haven and incorporated into the city. At that time, the area was close to the city's waterfront (it is now farther inland due to harbor filling), and by the 1840s it had become a residential area where ship captains and wholesale grocers built large houses near the port.[4] As a result, Wooster Square now includes a concentrated collection of distinctive 19th-century residential architecture, including several buildings by New Haven architect Henry Austin. Included are examples of the Federal, Greek Revival, Islamic Revival, and Italian Villa styles, Late Victorian Italianate row houses, and Second Empire and Queen Anne homes.[5]
By the late 19th century, increased industrial activity in the vicinity made Wooster Square less desirable as a residential neighborhood, and Italian immigrant families began to move in and operate small stores out of their homes. This commercial activity damaged the neighborhood's reputation, and the area was targeted for demolition and redevelopment as early as the 1930s. In the mid-1950s, plans called for building Interstate 91 through Wooster Square Park, but the Wooster Square Project, which started in 1958, began a neighborhood revival and resulted in re-routing of the highway.[4][5]
Culture and commerce[edit]
Wooster Square is home to restaurants and bakeries known for their pizza and Italian pastries, local businesses, and a weekly farmer's market, City Seed.[6] Its walkable proximity to Downtown New Haven, its architecture, and its neighborhood feel, make it one of the most sought-after New Haven neighborhoods in which to live. It also has a thriving art scene.
A sycamore tree on the west side of Wooster Square Park has been said by some observers to resemble an outline image of Jesus Christ.[7]

Hi, We are doing some updating in the house. We currently have all oak interior doors and trim (oak overload!). We are going to install hardwood floors soon and the question I have is this: Can I replace the oak trim - baseboards and quarter round -- with WHITE baseboards? We plan on leaving the interior doors and the trim around the doors oak but have the baseboards white. Will this look ok to mix the woods? Do you have any suggestions? I really don't want to paint the doors and trim around the doors white...it's way too much work!
Follow-Up Postings:

My old house had white baseboards with oak floors but the wood went under the molding since it was original. I think all quarter rounds should be the color/stain of the floor. but you want to keep trim/moulding around the room and doors in oak? They would look better white (to even out the baseboards) I guess it all depends on how big room is, how many doors/windows....and how much time you have on your hands to paint :) |
Most of the houses that I've seen with a mix of painted and wood surfaces have all the trim painted--baseboards, window trim, crown molding, and the trim around the doors. Then the floors and doors are left plain wood. Or one side of a door might be painted to match the decor in a particular room. |
- Posted by live_wire_oak (My Page) on Wed, Jul 25, 12 at 23:40
What style home is this? If this is a Craftsman with nice oak trim, it's pretty much heresy to paint any of it. You won't get wood overload if the floors are a different shade than the trim. Try a browner and slightly darker color on the floors. |

NJBR is a non profit, 501 C3 Organization that provides complete surrender and adoption services, as well as promoting responsible pet ownership in New Jersey and it's surrounding areas.Donate to Our Rescue Group...
http://www.njboxerrescue.com/donate.htmlOur Adoption Process:
Thank you for considering to adopt a rescued boxer.NJBR is a not for profit, 501C3, all individuals who perform rescue services for NJBR, do so on a volunteer basis. There are no monies paid for salaries. 100% of the monies raised by fundraisers and by adoption fees go into a pool of money that is used to help All of the Rescue Dogs.
Our adoption fee is $350.00. So please consider, if you buy a puppy through the paper or a pet store and pay $500 - $1,000 which is just the start, our fee of $350 is a bargain and you are supporting the health and quality of life of many boxers. Also consider (in most cases) that if you choose to pay that $500 - $1,000 , you are supporting the individuals that create the need for a boxer rescue in the first place.
The adoption process is outlined in the steps below:
1. Read our Adoption Policies than complete an Adoption Application.
The adoption application may seem long, but please understand each question is designed to assist in placing our beloved rescues in their forever home and to determine if the applicant is the best match for a particular dog. Our only reward is to ensure each dog is placed in their forever home.
2. Email the Dog's Contact - in addition to filling out the application.
If you are interested in a particular dog on the website, be certain to email the contact person listed in the dogs biography. This will help to start an immediate dialog and tell us we should review your application for the dog ASAP.
The following Steps are contingent upon the successful completion of the one prior:
3. Reference Checks - After the initial review of the adoption Contract, a NJBR volunteer will call the references on your application.
4. Telephone Interview - A telephone interview will be conducted, in order to review points on the application, answer any questions or discuss a particular dog. If the interview goes well a home visit is then scheduled.
5. Home Visit - A NJBR volunteer will conduct a home visit in order to meet the family members, and other pets and to ensure that the home environment is suited for a boxer. Whenever possible a boxer will be brought along for the visit.
6. Approved for Adoption - After the home visit is conducted, and of course if all goes well, you will be approved for adoption. At this point we will do our best to match a boxer with your home and in the ideal case coordinate the adoption of the dog you selected on your application. If we do not have the right dog for you and you do find a dog with another rescue group, we will be happy to share our approval information.
7. Adoption - At the time of adoption the following documents will be executed:
1) Adoption Contract* - stipulating (in addtion to other contractual requirements, that the dog must be taken to obedience training unless their is a special circumstance (age or health) that prevents the dog from participating in training,
2). Follow-up Schedule
3) Restraint Agreement (stating the dog cannot be let off-lead in a non-fenced area)
* In homes with children under the age of 12 the contract also states that the dog and children cannot be left alone un-supervised.
8. Follow-up and On-going Support. - A follow-up schedule is a part of our adoption package. We request that you keep in touch with us on a regular basis and we are always available to answer questions and provide support if needed. We especially love receiving pictures and updates on how your new family member is settling in.
Please understand that all the steps are administrated by volunteers many of whom work full time, so your patience is appreciated.

The Parliamentary committee that oversees the BND operations responded to the firestorm by ordering the agency to conduct an investigation. The outcome not only lent weight to Schmidt-Eenboom's claims, but found that the BND had targeted a reporter from Focus, one of Germany's top news magazines, as well. The committee then enlisted retired chief federal justice Gerhard Schäfer to dig deeper. Nobody — not even Schmidt-Eenboom — was prepared for the spiral of intrigue that Schäfer would unspool.
As birthdays go, the BND's fiftieth anniversary bash earlier this year was a somber affair. Hundreds of dark suits packed into an old Prussian arsenal in central Berlin on May 12 to hear a battery of obligatory speeches. Still, BND president Ernst Uhrlau put on a cheery face when he climbed to the podium. He touted a new era of "transparency" at the agency and a commitment to working "within the framework of the law."
And even as Uhrlau was speaking, details of the 179-page Schäfer report, which had been presented at a secret session of Parliament the day before, were leaking out. And they were chilling. Not only was spying on journalists more widespread than anyone had thought, but many of the informants and snoops were themselves reporters. For example:
- One of the BND's prime targets, according to the report, was Josef Hufelschulte, who covers intelligence matters for Focus magazine. From 1993 to 1996, three cars loaded with BND agents followed him to work each day. Spies posing as lovers also roamed the quiet hamlet where he lived. On weekends, when he trolled the aisles of a local Turkish market with his wife and son, as many as eight agents hovered around them. These efforts failed to turn up anything about Hufelschulte's sources, so the BND tried another tack: enlisting a scrappy stringer named Erwin Decker to spy on him. In return, Decker got story leads.
- Wilhelm Dietl, another prominent reporter, spied regularly for the BND from 1982 to 1998 under the code name "Dali," according to Schäfer's report. At the same time he wrote about the agency for leading news magazines, like Focus and Stern. Besides informing on other journalists (Hufelschulte among them) Dietl collected information on other sensitive matters, like the U.S. Army's operations in Kuwait. All told, he delivered 856 reports and received 653,000 deutsche marks, the pre-euro unit of currency.
- Schäfer said the BND also kept tabs on Hans Leyendecker, one of Germany's best-known investigative reporters, and some of his Der Spiegel colleagues. It began doing so after the magazine reported that the agency helped smuggle Russian plutonium to Munich on a passenger plane. Often the BND relied on "Kempinski" (his real name has yet to become public), a Stasi spy turned Focus magazine reporter, for information.
- Other Focus reporters also fed the BND dirt on their older and more venerable competitor, Der Spiegel, and in return, the agency gave them information on the stories Der Spiegel was planning.
These revelations were a political bombshell. Spies crouching outside journalists' windows or fishing through their garbage might be expected in the Stasi or SS eras. But these things weren't supposed to happen in the new, democratic Germany. Within hours of the first news reports, politicians were lining up to proclaim their outrage. It was "disgraceful," "extraordinarily grave," a "blatant scandal." Chancellor Angela Merkel promptly ordered the BND to stop spying on reporters.
The BND tried initially to defend itself. "The program was an effort to find traitors in our ranks, not to influence the activities or reporting of journalists." an agency spokesman told CJR just after the news broke in May. But justifications soon gave way to apologies and finger pointing. No one seemed to have issued the order to spy on journalists, and Parliament had, of course, known nothing about the program.
But as the din faded, some politicians changed their tune. When asked about the spying at a conference in July, interior minister Wolfgang Schäuble said journalists should get used to having their freedom checked in the name of national security. "Sometimes secrecy of state pulls rank," he said.

Coconut Craze
- At September 13, 2012
- By Jill Latham
- In Health, Nutrition, Nutrition Concierge, Organic
- 2
One of the biggest health trends right now is coconut. Whether it be coconut water, coconut meat, coconut milk or coconut oil, food companies are capitalizing on this and for good reason. I love a great coconut product. The benefits of adding coconut into your life are widely varied – it helps to boost immunity, improve heart health, promote lean body weight, stoke your metabolism, and is incredibly nourishing for your hair and skin. But the most awesome health benefit about coconut oil is its' ability to help the body burn fat for energy.
Here's the deal….coconut oil is composed of medium-chain triglycerides. I know…kinda sounds a bit scientific but let me tell you a little about the structure of a fatty acid. All fats contain a certain number of carbon atoms, which are connected together in a big chain. There are short chain fatty acids, medium-chain fatty acids, long-chain fatty acids, and very long chain fatty acids. The body breaks down and metabolizes all these fatty acids differently – some are used for immediate energy, while others aren't used as effectively and tend to be more predominately stored in fat cells. The fatty acid in a coconut (it's oil) is a medium-chain fatty acid, therefore its smaller, easily digested, and then immediately burned by the liver for energy. In other words, it helps to boost your metabolism! Many people are on low-fat diets, however, don't skimp on adding this amazing fat to your diet.
Now let's talk about the coconut products on the market…

Chia seeds are on the market and like any other health food product, they are coming in strong. If you have recently ventured into any health food store, such as Whole Foods, you would have seen many products that contain chia seeds or even just chia seeds alone. And for good reason! Basically, chia seeds are awesome and they should become a new staple in your diet. First of all, chia seeds are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. These fabulous and healthy fats (ALA, DHA & EPA) benefit the brain by increasing memory and cognition, help to decrease inflammation in the body, assist in lowering high cholesterol and high blood pressure, and play positive roles in diabetes, heart disease, depression, and arthritis.

High-Speed Lines
Atocha - Chamartín high-speed tunnel
Banco Europeo de Inversiones
The European Investment Bank (EIB) collaborates in the funding of this project.
Project benefits
The U.I.C. gauge railway connection that will connect the stations of Madrid-Puerta de Atocha and Madri-Chamartín will constitute an essential infrastructure for the development of a structured international gauge network in Spain, for it will enable the interconnection of all the high-speed lines that cross Madrid, favouring the interoperability of high-speed trains.
The tunnel will improve the operation model of both stations in Madrid, as they will go from having a terminal configuration to being transit stations.
Its going into service will be made to coincide with the quadruplication of the tracks between Atocha and Torrejón de Velasco. At that time, all Southern/Eastern high-speed lines will be connected to those in the North, allowing direct connections to be made in UIC standard gauge through this tunnel.
Once these important works have been completed and the Puerta de Atocha and Chamartín stations have been restructured, the tunnel will give the passengers the chance to choose from Chamartín or Atocha as their departure or arrival high-speed station in the capital.
Madrid will enjoy the privilege of having its high-speed stations connected, something that other important European cities have not yet achieved.
Tunnel Characteristics
The new double track connection via Atocha-Chamartín is 7,313 metres long, with international gauge double plate track Most of the excavation will be carried out with the tunnel boring machine, except for the first and last few metres, which will be carried out by other means.
The section, runs from Chamartín towards República Argentina square. From here it continues under the axis formed by Serrano and Alfonso XII streets. Finally it passes under the botanic garden and the Emperador Carlos V roundabout, reaching Puerta de Atocha.
Its route crosses eight Metro lines, passes under the suburban train tunnels of Recoletos and Sol, in Atocha, and in the Chamartín area it will run parallel to the Recoletos tunnel for about 400 metres.
The project includes the remodelling of the shunting yard of Chamartín's southern section. The tunnel boring machine has been set up in this area, and it will be from here that the tunnel excavation will begin.
The tunnel will have eight emergency exits, five of which have direct access to the surface and the other three, in Serrano street, will communicate with the outside through underground car parks which are currently being built. The maximum distance between these exits will be one thousand metres. In addition, the tunnel will have three ventilation shafts and five pumping wells.
Tunnel Boring Machine
For its construction, most of this infrastructure will be executed with an EPB (Earth Pressure Balance) type tunnel boring machine made by the German manufacturer Herrenknecht, with an excavation diameter of 11.5 m, and an inner diameter of 10.4 m. The total weight of the tunnel boting machine is 2,200 t, with a length of 125.6 m.
The cutting wheel is powered by eighteen 350 kW engines, with a total installed power capacity of 6,300 kW.
The coating will be carried out with precast reinforced concrete ring segments 1.8 metres wide and 36 cm thick, resulting in an open inner diameter of 10.40 m.
Prior to the construction of the tunnel, detailed inspections have been carried out on the buildings located on both sides of the corridor through which the tunnel will run to obtain as much information as possible and to ensure that the execution of the construction work will not affect the surrounding buildings. More than 470 buildings have been inspected, and out of these buildings more than 1000 homes have been inspected.
In addition, periodical controls are being carried out thanks to the installation of instruments and subsequent auscultation of the ground both on the surface and below it throughout the tunnel's route. The underground infrastructures near the tunnel will also be instrumented (underground car parks and Metro and suburban train tunnels), as well as all the buildings within the tunnel's sphere of influence.
Environmental Protection
From an environmental point of view, the tunnel represents a small effect. The most important aspects are:
- Archaeo-paleontological Works
- Measurements and auscultation. Periodic dust, noise and vibration measurements.
- Protection and transplantation of trees, in collaboration with the Green Heritage of the Madrid City Council
- Lime waste processing and its transport to authorized dumps.

Children have the option of bringing a packed lunch to school or having a hot school meal. All meals are eaten in the school hall.
Steamplicity meals, including a vegetarian option, are provided by Chartwells and are prepared daily in our kitchen. Steamplicity is a unique technology, which steam cooks fresh food in minutes - locking in all the flavour and nutrients.
Hot meals cost £2.20 each and must be pre-paid prior to the ordering cut-off date for the week that they are required.
Please follow the link below to order meals and see the menus.
From September 2014 all children in Reception, Y1 and Y2 will be entitled to a free school meal. Older children are entitled to Free School Meals if their parents, carers or guardians receive any of the following:
Regardless of your child's age or even if they take packed lunch to school it is important to let us know if you are in receipt of any of the benefits listed above – this is so we can receive additional funding (called the pupil premium) which we can use to help your child.
You can download a copy of the form you will need from
If you have any general questions about free school meals, please ask us at the Office or send an email.
Alternatively, children may bring a packed lunch. This should be in a secure named container.
A drink should be provided in a non-breakable container. Packed lunches are eaten in the main hall. Sweets, chocolate and fizzy drinks are not allowed – instead, we encourage lots of fruit, vegetables and water. Please do not include nuts in your child's packed lunch as there are children with allergies in school.
We try to reduce the waste we create in school, so prefer it if you can use re-usable containers for food, rather than lots of packaging.
It is a good idea to include an ice pack in summer to keep food cool.
Follow this link for ideas for healthy packed lunches
Every child is entitled to FREE school milk until their fifth birthday.
If your child is over five they are still entitled to subsidised milk.
We register all children under five for free milk when they start school. If your child is unable to drink dairy milk please let us know.
When your child reaches their fifth birthday they will no longer be entitled to free milk, however you can register them to continue to receive milk that is subsidised.
You can register your child by visiting the website www.coolmilk.com
For telephone enquiries please call 0800 142 2972
Children in Reception and Key Stage 1 receive a piece of fruit or vegetable or raisins each day.This is funded by the government.

Brian Wilson says 'no' to another Beach Boys reunion
Brian Wilson has said that he doubts there will be another reunion of The Beach Boys.
Wilson was speaking on Sunday (February 10) at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. When asked about the possibility of a reunion - following last year's 50th anniversary tour dates and the release of a brand new album 'That's Why God Made The Radio' - Wilson told the press room: "No, I don't think so. Doubt it."
Last year Mike Love fell out with the remaining band members. In October, Love defended his plans to continue touring under the Beach Boys name without the other members of the group in an open letter published by the LA Times.
Love wrote: "I did not fire Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys. I cannot fire Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys. I am not his employer. I do not have such authority. And even if I did, I would never fire Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys. I love Brian Wilson."
Wilson then responded with a letter in the same publication, writing: "by Mike not wanting or letting Al, David and me tour with the band, it sort of feels like we're being fired."
He added: "While I appreciate the nice cool things Mike said about me in his letter, and I do and always will love him as my cousin and bandmate, at the same time I'm still left wondering why he doesn't want to continue this great trip we're on. Al and I want to keep going because we believe we owe it to the music."
The deluxe box set of 'The Smile Sessions' recently won the Grammy Award for Best Historical Album. Wilson called the win "a great honour."

News of this soon to be launched network was announced just over a week ago by PlayOn! Sports (PlayOn) and the National Federation of State High School Associations.
"They are trying to make a national place for high school sports. They want to have a place where anybody in the world can go to see high school sports," CHS broadcasting instructor Jon Souders stated. "In my opinion, further on down the road they are going to try to market it to ESPN as a conglomerate of high school athletics."
The all-digital network is slated to be broadcasting online in HD by the start of the 2013-14 athletic seasons.
Currently, PlayOn streams more than 30,000 events per school year, while the NFHS reaches 19,000-plus high schools across the country.
"Teaming up with the NFHS is a natural progression to build a truly national high school sports platform while honoring the local communities that support them," PlayOn! Sports CEO David Rudolph said in a recent press release. "Our mission is to serve the current and future generations of student-athletes, support and encourage their participation and make their performances accessible to their friends, family and fans on every media platform they use."
Cleveland High's Broadcasting Department, CHS Live, has been broadcasting live streaming game feeds through PlayOn's online portal for the past three years. Last October its viewing numbers made CHS Live the most watched stream in Tennessee, while in February it became the most watched in the nation.
According to Souders, athletic events are the most popular CHS broadcasts, and the Raiders' football games can draw anywhere from 200 to 400 viewers per game. This year their most watched event was the state wrestling tournament, which had some 800 viewers.
"I think it will give Cleveland a lot of exposure beyond what we are getting now. With the way they are pushing it, I wouldn't be surprised to see our numbers double in this first year. I think our viewership outside of Tennessee will grow," Souders commented. "Their goal is to become the largest collection of high school sports in the country. Through PlayOn's partnership with NFHS, they are able to funnel all of these schools to this one location. So now, if you're a fan sitting at home and you like high school sports, instead of seeing one game a week on ESPN you can go to this website and see high school sports for days."
The new NFHS Network not only works to further highlight high school athletic programs, but also gives the CHS broadcasting students the chance to get more experience and exposure themselves.
"Everybody that's involved can now be seen on a national and even international level. It's taking the good stuff that we're already doing here and promoting it out," Souders said.
Cleveland High School is the only school in Bradley County currently utilizing the PlayOn platform. In Hamilton County, both The McCallie School and East Hamilton High School also broadcast through PlayOn.
"I'm extremely excited for our school, our athletes, and our broadcasting department," Cleveland Athletic Director Eric Phillips commented. "This is just exciting on a lot of levels — it will give our athletes and broadcasting students more exposure, and open up many doors for them. I think this is something that our kids can really benefit from."
The first CHS Live event to be broadcast on the NFHS Network will be on Aug. 23, when the Raiders host McCallie in football.

Breakfast Topic: Is DKP starting to become obsolete? {WoW}
Mar 10th 2012 11:16AM My guild uses a very simple loot system. Ms > OS > Greed
No restrictions. If someone wins 4 tokens, fine. Next week they wont need it anymore and someone else gets it. I hate loot council and I hate DKP and will not use it. I have 3 raiding teams in my guild that are all on heroic progression. We have no drama because loot is random, sometimes you win. Other times you lose. I lost a roll last night to Heroic Bone-Link fetish to a alt-raider that fill's in sometimes. Doesnt bother me because I like everyone I raid with.

Spiritual Guidance: Top healing trinkets for priests {WoW}
Jan 11th 2012 12:06PM There are a few issues with people not stacking Haste but rather stacking either Crit or Mastery.
The problem with Crit. Its great. IF your target is low enough in health that the crit is not wasted. IF your crit overheals, its useless. Paladins with large single target heals do not benefit as much from crit due to overhealing. I have personally seen my logs sometimes with 65% overhealing due to Divine Light critting but being wasted.
Mastery is great also if your target is expected to take damage withing the next 12? seconds. However if they do not, once again that potential heal is wasted. Tank healing Paladins are awesome at stacking master for that very reason. There is probably not a fight currently that the tank will not take damage in a consecutive 15 second period.
Haste is the ultimate stat because it reduces your spell casting time, therefore allowing you to cast more spells / fight. Even in a 6 minute fight, reducing your spellcasting time by .3 seconds is huge. The POTENTIAL to heal is increased as you can cast more spells within a certain amount of time. However higher haste and more spells cast will also increase your spirit requirements since you will be using more mana. Spamming Divine Light will make you go OOM very fast if you do not use mana regenerating techniques. Having a high haste is useless if you are out of mana.
I am not sure what Haste "cap" you are referring to since the only spell I have seen get close to the GCD is Flash of Light which is not a preferred spell to use in more fights. Divine Light and Holy Light share the same cast time and reducing both of those. Getting either one down to the GCD I dont think is possible except maybe during a Haste/Time Warp phase.
Haste is the only secondary stat which is not dependent on fight and timing mechanics like Crit or Mastery. The more haste you have the more benefit you will see if you play properly.
good luck. Any comments are appreciated if I am wrong. Always trying to get better.

Chinese prisoners forced to farm gold {WoW}
May 26th 2011 4:25PM The problem is that if someone is willing to pay cash for gold then there will be people doing things to get that money.
Use tokens that you get through questing and dungeons for equipment and repairs. I know it is not practical but it would help.
The other option is make gold farming not worth it. I have lots of gold but I dont spend it on anything besides equipment repairs, BOA gear for alts and maybe some materials for enchanting. The reason why most people hoard gold is for high ticket BOE items and CTG loot cards and some VERY rare drops.
If gold was changed to only work for crafting mats and some items and you DIDN'T need 50k gold (Vial of the Sands!!!!) a lot of the gold farmers would leave because
Make the Vial of the Sands a huge quest reward or purchasable by Valor points or ANY OTHER METHOD THAT ACTUALLY REQUIRES YOU TO PLAY THE GAME.
If Blizzard turned Non-Soulbound items into BOA items that were non-tradeable it would be disaster for Gold Farmers. But it reward regular players who actually play the game.
Lets say for example that the Vial of the Sands or any other high gold value item becomes BOA and the materials needed to craft it are bought with Valor and quests. It would still be hard to get and it would still be a pain but you would not be able to pay $xxx dollars for the gold to just buy it.
The concept of Gold in games is antiquated in modern MMO's. It was fine on paper and pencil games since it was just a few friends playing it. Eliminate gold from the game and this whole mess just ends. No more farmers.
How about quest rewards giving justice points or similar which you cannot trade and use to buy stuff.
Herbs and the like can be traded into a commodities market for Justice points which can then be used to purchase different materials from a shared market. Since Justice Points are soulbound you cannot buy them for real money.
Im sorry this is long.
