The last wave will start at 2:40 p.m. Volunteers will be available to help the runners. Parents of young children are invited to run along to help with the obstacles, take pictures and videos.

text: Has anyone tried using these molds with buttercream as the base? I purchased my onlays and as very excited to use them but was having trouble removing my fondant from the mold without stretching it's shape. I was trying to put them on a buttercream cake I had and it was only "hacking" my buttercream (even though the cake was chilled). Does anyone have any tricks or tips I could use? I really want to use them but got a little frustrated when I tried decorating my cake. Took the wind right from under me.

1 And Sarah was a hundred and twenty-seven years old: [these were] the years of the life of Sarah. | 1 Sarah lived to be a hundred and twenty-seven years old. |
2 And Sarah died in Kirjath-arba; the same [is] Hebron in the land of Canaan: And Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her. | 2 She died at Kiriath Arba (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan, and Abraham went to mourn for Sarah and to weep over her. |
3 And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying, | 3 Then Abraham rose from beside his dead wife and spoke to the Hittites. He said, |
4 I [am] a stranger and a sojourner with you; give me a possession of a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight | 4 "I am an alien and a stranger among you. Sell me some property for a burial site here so I can bury my dead. |
5 And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him, | 5 The Hittites replied to Abraham, |
6 Hear us, my lord; thou [art] a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our sepulchers bury thy dead: none of us will withhold from thee his sepulcher, but that thou mayest bury thy dead. | 6 "Sir, listen to us. You are a mighty prince among us. Bury your dead in the choicest of our tombs. None of us will refuse you his tomb for burying your dead." |

I planted my bell peppers with my other pepper plants such as jalapenos, ghost peppers, banana peppers, I also planted them near my tomato plants. In my pepper and tomato bed I mulched the bed with grass clippings that I've been drying for 2 weeks recently. Right after mulching one of my bell pepper plant appears to just be wilting real bad, even though I water them regularly and we've just had almost a week of on and off rain. The plant looks as if I haven't watered it in a month and the leaves are wilting but they still are green. This one pepper plant seems like the only plant in the entire bed that seems to have been affected by my mulching, could it be a disease that I should worry about? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Are they wilting only on sunny days? If so, and they don't wilt on cloudy days, I would strongly suspect their roots are being attacked by some soil-dwelling creatures. My cauliflowers did this due to root maggots. I'm now having that same issue with zucchinis and I suspect Symphylans. If I reach down and grasp the base of the plant and pull on it, I can tell that it would come out of the ground without too much effort. Meaning the roots are very compromised. With my cauliflower plants, I could just lift them right out of the ground and examine the brown, knarly root remains. I don't know what would attack bell peppers in your neck of the woods. I would try tugging on the base of the stem to see how firmly anchored they are in the soil. If you can spare one plant you might dig out the whole rootball and examine it thoroughly. You lose a plant but you may gain some knowledge. |

Varsha Kale (President - WPI) writes:
The red-light area of the city of El Alto in Bolivia has been ransacked. Local residents, calling the area a 'haven for criminals', destroyed bars and brothels and assaulted sex workers. Following the attacks, sex workers have been arrested, jailed, and detained. Some have sewn their lips shut in protest.
Labour standards and occupational health and safety have been the rights of Canadian Workers for over 100 years. The sex industry and its workers have however never enjoyed the privileges of being acknowledged for providing a safe work space or been able to complain about dangerous conditions. This has forced the system at large to impose what it believes is right for sex industry workers with disastrous results for decades in the BC/Yukon region. The need for a community based process through which the sex industry can govern itself and have input to its future and stability has never been more urgent.
The BC Coalition of Experiential Women was funded to explore working conditions of off street municipally licensed massage parlors and escort agencies. A series of three focus groups were conducted with individuals employed in these venues as well as those who work primarily on street. This report presents the findings of these interviews.
This booklet has been produced for the "Sex work: Everything you always wanted to know but never dared to ask!" training project. It answers questions that people who are unfamiliar with sex work might have about sex workers, rights, and realities.

Katherine of Houston, writes:
My husband and I bought a Sterns & Foster 20 years ago. We got a bottom of the line frame, which has now broken. It's past time to replace everything. I'm tempted to buy Sterns & Foster again because the other bed was a great bed for many years, but if they've been bought by Sealy, maybe this is misplaced brand loyalty.
We went and shopped Macy's last week-end. Out of their selection, I liked the Hotel Classic Ultra Firm. We are both in our 50s. My husband is 6' 4". I've had spine surgery for a ruptured disc and am at increased risk of fracture to lower back and one hip because of bone density. We're a bit on the bony side. We both are seriously bothered by allergies to dust and mold in general. I believe Macy's will mark this bed down even further on Sept 7 for Labour Day. But perhaps we should shop more broadly. We are both side sleepers. My husband has had some issues with Gerd. We live in a terribly hot climate, so a mattress that holds heat won't work. We both have had significant health issues, cancer surgeries, so we have put considerably more miles on the bed than an average user. In addition to sleeping in the bed, I often need to rest and listen to the radio, for example. I welcome you input. Thank you. (Please don't post my full name. Thank you. You can call me S.T.G.)
Can't I just call you Katherine?
Raising the head of the bed a few inch is recommended by my gastroenterologist for acid reflux. Staying with a basic mattress that has enough padding for comfort is all you need.
The Hotel S&F at Macy's is being discontinued and substituted with S&F's new line. Most Macy's stores already have them. And Katherine, what you consider a "mark down" for Labor Day, is an everyday price for us. They down mark them down on Labor Day, they just stop marking them up. There new model, the S&F Carried Away, same as our Lucas Park, in a luxury plush, has all the support and comfort you'd need.
WE DELIVER EVERYWHERE in the Continental US.
FREE DELIVERY on all Sealy Posturepedic Signature, Sealy SpringFree Latex and S&F Estate models....and adjustable beds w/ mattresses.
All mattresses are freshly made to your order.

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 1
Posted By: Arpil D. ReissDate: March 02, 1997 at 01:05:54
Dear Peter,
I do not think Maraya did well on soy, and rice is a grain. What do you think of: 1. nut milks (almond, cashew, coconut, sesame and sunflower) 2. rejuvelac (milk from soaked grains, maybe buckwheat which)3. milk from soaked nuts and seeds4. wheat grass What about lateral flora or acidopholis for her yeast?
Have you heard about Metabolic Health Map? It is a computer blood analysis taken from a smac-12 blood test. It works like the dark field mycropathy but does not need a skillful person to read the results.
Thank youApril

Plenty of my friends are looking

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Little Bit!

- Breed: Boxer/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) Mix
- Color: Brindle - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Little Bit's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Little Bit is just a hilarious little spit fire. Not only is she adorable, but she's very smart, and just loves to play. She's make a great companion to any household. She's about 9 weeks old. She looks to be a boxer mix We are accepting applications for Little Bit. She's had her first and second set of shot, plus microchipped. She'll possible be 50-60lbs when full grown. You can email email@example.com Little Bit's Photo Album: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.356224824458137.85177.174098296004125&type=3
Other Pets at Phillips Fosters Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Little Bit, a Colleyville Boxer/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boxer/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) for sale in Colleyville, or seeking a Boxer/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) puppy from a breeder in Colleyville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Colleyville 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 Colleyville 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 Boxer/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) breeders who help with Boxer/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Colleyville paves the way for another one to be saved.

September's here and it's time to pick mophead hydrangeas (H. macrophylla) to dry - the whole trick is in the timing. Picked too soon, the petals shrivel. You want to wait until the flowerheads turn a little leathery right on the bush. By that time, the blossoms will already be changing colors, making them more beautiful even than when they're fresh.
Cut a lengthy stem, and put the hydrangeas in a vase (don't crowd them too much) in an inch or so of water and let it slowly evaporate. This is easier and more effective than hanging them, and you get to enjoy a big bouquet of mopheads while they slowly and accommodatingly preserve themselves. I'll just leave these in this wheat-colored jug through autumn, where they'll only look better as the colors fade and mellow a bit.
While a whole bouquet of just hydrangeas is a beautiful thing, I can never resist picking the fresher, still bright blue blossoms to combine with other garden flowers. The fat heads anchor an arrangement, give it solidity and depth, while the rich, deep,color shows off all the golds, yellows, peaches and apricots of late summer...here a square, green glass vase plays off the autumnal colors of sneezeweed (Helenium autumnale), various crocosmia, pelargonium, and Peruvian lilies (Alstromeria). I stuck a few lavender wands and deep purple Clematis roguchi in there to echo the color of the hydrangea.


text: Earth is nearly uninhabitable after a war with aliens known as Scavengers (Scavs for short). The Scavs destroyed the Moon which caused massive earthquakes and tsunami then sent down an invasion force. To win the war, humanity had to use nuclear weapons. While the Scavs were defeated, most of the planet was ruined. What's left of humanity is either heading for Saturn's moon Titan or living on a giant orbiting space station called the Tet. The last few people left on Earth are overseeing the collection of seawater to use as fuel for fusion reactors and repairing heavily armed drones that protect the massive water collection machines from the few remaining Scavs. Jack Harper (Tom Cruise) is one of these technicians. He is paired with a communications officers name Victoria Olsen (Andrea Riseborough). They are co-workers and lovers, sharing a home built on a massive tower thousands of feet above the ground. Both Jack and Victoria had their memories wiped to prevent them from giving up sensitive information should they be captured by Scavs. Their actions are directed by Sally (Melissa Leo) who is stationed on board the Tet. Jack and Victoria only have two weeks left before they can leave for Titan with the remaining survivors. Jack is troubled by recurring dreams involving a beautiful woman and the two being on the observation level of the Empire State Building in New York. He doesn't know the woman but he feels like he should. To escape the everyday pressures of his job, Jack often visits a cabin by a lake in one of the few areas of the world that looks to have been untouched by the war. Jack has collected a wide range of items from the various buildings he's had to enter to repair downed drones. He's found old vinyl records and a turntable, books, a baseball and a Yankees cap to name a few. While visiting the cabin, Jack sees a space craft entering the atmosphere. Jack goes to the crash site and finds the remains of a vessel and several suspended animation pods with people inside. One of the people is the woman from his dreams. Her name is Julia Rusakova (Olga Kurylenko) and when she wakes up, she recognizes Jack as well. One of the drones shows up and begins destroying the pods but Jack is able to prevent it from killing Julia. Jack takes Julia back to his home but Victoria doesn't like having her there. Julia wants to recover her ship's data recorder and Jack takes her out in his ship without telling Victoria. They recover the recorder but are captured by Scavs. The Scavs reveal themselves to actually be humans led by Beech (Morgan Freeman). Beech wants Jack to reprogram a drone to take a bomb up to the Tet and destroy it. Jack refuses and inexplicably, Beech lets him and Julia go, encouraging Jack to check out one of the radiation zones to discover that the truth about his life and what's going on aboard the Tet.

What is between the Oort cloud and the closest star?
What is between the Oort cloud and the closest star? It seems strange to think that such a HUGE area of space is not filled with a vast amount of planets/comets and all sort of things beyond our imagination or at least something other than nothing. But do we know anything, or is it simply to dark to see it?
Once you get beyond the Oort Cloud, there really isn't much mass to speak of. The interstellar volume is largely occupied by the appropriately named Interstellar Medium, or ISM. The ISM is really just the leftover or ejected material from planetary nebulae, stellar winds, and supernovae, 99% gas and 1% dust and other particles. The ISM has a density of between one thousand and one million particles per cubic meter, which is pretty thin by solar system standards (better than the best vacuum on Earth!).
So the question remains: why isn't there more stuff in interstellar space? This is mostly because stars are pretty good at keeping the matter from the planetary nebulae they formed from in their immediate vicinity, just through gravity. Larger objects, especially, are very unlikely to be ejected or to wander away from the solar system, as it would take a huge amount of energy to escape the sun's influence. Even the comets of the Oort cloud are pretty well gravitationally bound to long but inescapable orbits.
But that doesn't mean there isn't anything out there! You always hear a few theories about "rogue planets" that were ejected from their systems by supernovae, or comets on hyperbolic trajectories that escape the solar system. However, these are all pretty unlikely situations, and even if rogue objects do exist, they take up an inconceivably small fraction of interstellar space.

I was able to take what I learned from my accounting classes and apply it in my internship—it was just amazing.
It was so reassuring to walk in, and, without any previous experience, I was able to crank the work back out to them. They told me I exceeded their expectations. Manchester's accounting program is tough, but it was absolutely worth it.
What do Manchester University accounting majors do after they graduate?
Manchester accounting graduates are in demand. They are often in positions to be able to choose among multiple offers, and they go to work for some of the largest and most prestigious firms in the country. One hundred percent of graduates (2002-06) had full-time jobs in their field within six months of graduating. Here's an example of what some of last year's graduates experienced as they made transitions into the professional world of accounting:
Derek Hammond, Class of 2007 Derek had four interviews in October prior to graduating the following May. One company offered Derek an internship; the other three offered him full-time employment within three weeks of the interviews. Derek accepted a position with Katz, Sapper & Miller, LLP in Indianapolis.

BIOS and Overclocking
Now we get down to what nVidia has done for the overclockers. From the beginning, we were told that this chipset would be for overclockers and that the reference design would reflect that in not only layout but BIOS as well.
The BIOS used is a standard Award 6.0 modular BIOS, in fact it looks like any other BIOS out there. We thought that we were given a bum steer with this board as there are no extra menus like other companies put into their BIOS for Overclocking options.
To get to the Overclocking menus you simply look under Advanced Chipset Features menu, here you get the Overclocking setup. There are four major menus with Overclocking, System Clocks, FSB and Mem config, CPU configurations and System Voltages.
Starting with System Clocks is where you find the setup for the three PCI Express x16 frequency clocks. All three slots can be controlled independently of each other. Each slot can be run from 100MHz to a max of 200MHz in 1MHz increments. PCI Express clocks should not be touched as they tend to cause instability in the system - only play with these settings if you really know what you're doing.
The SPP MCP Reference clock is the base speed that the HT link between the North and Southbridges run at. This clock is then set with a multiplier like a CPU is to get is full speed. The ref clock speed can be adjusted from 200MHz up to 500MHz in 1MHz increments.
Next comes the multipliers for the HT link for upstream and downstream. These range from 1x to 5x on both. For best results and stability, set the SPP to MCP ref clock to 200MHz and the multipliers to 5x to allow best possible overclocks.
Lastly in this menu is the Spread Spectrum clocks, nVidia recommend disabling all of these for overclocking as it will only hinder the voltage regulators supplying the right amount of currant to the components.
Moving to the FSB and Mem Config menu, we find this is where you change FSB and memory settings as well as the CPU multiplier. The FSB - Mem clock mode has three settings - Auto, Linked and Unlinked. When in Auto you can't change any settings in BIOS. When in linked mode, the FSB and memory are linked together using ratio dividers, the higher the FSB goes the higher the memory goes. Unlinked mode allows you to change the FSB independent of the memory and vice versa - this way you can get the most out of the FSB and then overclock the memory to match rather than having one part hold you back - we love this feature!
When unlinked mode is set the FSB and memory setting are unlocked. nVidia and eVGA have put the FSB speed in QDR rather than the reference clock rate. This means you can go from 400MHz (100MHz) to a max of 2500MHz (625MHz) in 1MHz increments.
Memory is set in DDR rate, so you can go from 400MHz (200MHz) to a max of 1400MHz (700MHz) in 1MHz increments.
The CPU Configuration menu has a couple of interesting options. You can enable or disable the CPU thermal management as well as select what Thermal Management the CPU uses - either TM1 or TM2 if your CPU supports that.
Also if you have two or more cores on the CPU, you can disable any one of them with this option but you will only want that for testing purposes - it is much better to leave them all running for a faster system.
Lastly we have the System voltages, and thy people at nVidia and eVGA have done a good job here. Here you have CPU Core, CPU FSB, Memory, SPP, MCP and SPP to MCP voltages.
CPU Voltage ranges from as low at 0.9375 all the way to 1.8v in 0.025v increments.
CPU FSB voltage ranges from 1.2v to 1.5v in 0.1v increments.
Memory ranges from 1.8v to 2.5v in 0.025v increments
SPP voltage ranges from 1.2v to 1.55v in 0.05v increments
MCP voltage ranges from 1.5v to 1.75v in 0.05v increments
Lastly the SPP to MCP HT link voltage ranges from 1.2v to 1.55v in 0.05v increments
With all this we managed a huge and stable FSB of 488MHz (1952MHz QDR). To do this we had our Core 2 Extreme at 6x multiplier resulting in 2928MHz, FSB at 1952MHz QDR, memory at 1005MHz DDR, HT Ref at 200MHz, HT multipliers at 5x. As far as voltages go - CPU voltage at 1.400v, Memory at 2.2v, FSB voltage at 1.4v, SPP voltage at 1.3v, MCP voltage at 1.65v and HT link at 1.3v.
Suffice to say, we were really impressed with the FSB overclocking result of the nForce 680i chipset and it matches any other Intel Core 2 motherboard we have tested to date. We can't wait to see what other companies can do when they release their own finely-tuned motherboards.

$35million debts: Access bank and AP continue public war
Category: General
Read (2510)
African Petroleum Plc (AP), a major oil marketing firm explains that its imbroglio with Access Bank, one of its major financiers over outstanding $35.1m (approx N5.2 billion naira) has to do with the rate the bank used in calculating the value of the debts.
The oil marketer claims Access Bank had over-billed it by using a higher conversion rate in computing the debts, which brought up the value to the contested sum being quoted by the bank. The difference in the exchange rate used by the bank has resulted in over N400million being contested by the oil firm.
Access bank claim
"The company is insolvent and unable to pay its debts. In the circumstances, it is just and equitable that the company should be wound up." Such was the conclusion Access Bank Plc. reached following AP's failure to repay the bank $35.1 million.
In a two-page statement carried in two national newspapers on Monday, Access Bank, through it's legal counsel, Olisa Agbakoba and Associates, published details about a case currently at the Federal High Court in Lagos.
The statement read, "The company (AP) is indebted to the petitioner (Access) in the sum of US $35,153,822.15 (approximately
5.2 billion), being the outstanding obligation on the Letter of Credit (LC) opened by the petitioner (Access) on 18th July 2008, on behalf of the respondent (AP) to facilitate the importation of petroleum products."
According to the statement, "The LC was established and booked on 18th of July 2008 and matured on December 1, 2008," but "upon maturity of the LC, the company was unable to settle the LC obligation of $US35.1 which is still outstanding as at the presentation of this petition."
AP counterclaim
In a counter advertorial published in a national daily on Wednesday, AP, acknowledged borrowing from Access Bank to import refined petroleum products says, "Upon maturity of the Letters of Credit (LC), Access Bank debited AP Plc at the converted rate of N127 to one US Dollar, this was as at 2nd December 2008.
"AP immediately protested the arte of the exchange applied by Access Bank, pointing out to them that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) spot rate on 30th November 2008, which was the maturity date of the LC was N116.62 to one US dollar and even the black market rate was between N119 and N122 to one US dollar at that time." AP says in a letter dated December 2, 2008; it made it clear that it would repay the loan "at the appropriate rate", adding that "several correspondences have been exchanged in a bid to amicably resolve this," to no avail, which forced it to write to the CBN via a letter dated May 15, 2009 to intervene in the matter.
In the Wednesday advertorial, AP also said that Access Bank is indebted to it, as the bank is, "one of the Issuing Houses and Underwriter to AP's 2008 Public Offer/Rights Issue. Access Bank's underwriting commitment is (over)
4.82billion and up to date it has reneged on meeting its underwriting obligation
to AP Plc."
Central Bank involvement
Abdullahi Mohammed, CBN's head, Corporate Communications, acknowledged that the Central Bank has received a petition on a case involving Access Bank Plc, a bank in Nigeria and African Petroleum (AP), a customer of the bank and was handling the case as appropriate.
"They have forwarded the case to CBN. When a move like that is being made, it is like going to court and so comments cannot be made on the issue until the appropriate time. The CBN is studying the complaint and it is being handled as appropriate. The just concerns of the public would be addressed at the appropriate time," Mr. Mohammed says.
Next steps
So far NEXT investigations reveal that none of the parties' share prices has been adversely affected at the stock market following the publication of Access bank's petition on Monday.
Tunde Falasinu, AP's Chief Operating Officer, said the oil marketing firm "will wait for the courts and the Central Bank's response to our petition. I can't pre-empt the decisions of the court and the regulator."
"You can't wind up a company because of one transaction. It's not like we don't have the money. The issue was about the exchange rate. They wanted to calculate based on
127 to $1, rather than
116 to $1. For us, the difference
in payment is about
400 million. If they agree to an acceptable rate by both parties, they will get their cheque."
A senior source at Access Bank, who asked for anonymity, said yesterday that "it is unfortunate that this purely commercial transaction with AP has turned out this way. It is a shame."
"If they (AP) could pay, why haven't they begun the process to pay back?" In response to a question asking for clarification about the exchange rates issue and the N400m overcharge, the Access Bank source added that AP "could just have paid in dollars if they are having problems with the Naira conversion. They didn't have to convert from naira to dollars, with us. They could change their dollars anywhere they liked. We told them that. What we want is to be paid back."
In Wednesday's Annual General Meeting, AP declared a dividend of N4,986,210,373 to its shareholders, amounting to N5.20 per share. There was no indication at the AGM that this amount may not be paid to shareholders.
Public comment
An industry commentator who asked for anonymity wondered the objective in dragging the matter out into the public domain through newspaper advertorials.
"Why not let the court decision take its course" asked the commentator, adding that observers may conclude that by taking action in this way, the bank is "sending a signal about its tolerance level" and those tolerance levels may be worth watching in the coming months. "The court can enforce the bank's rights.
To damage the reputation of your client is a second level of punishment," the commentator noted.
The senior Access bank source however defended the company's decision to publicise the matter through newspapers on Monday. He said that the court mandated them to publish, normal practice, he said, in instances of petitions to wind-down a company. He added that Access bank felt that AP shareholders should know about irregularities with their company's transactions and liabilities owed. He said, "publication of the issue would push AP shareholders to get their company to pay as the court can withhold dividends from being paid if liabilities, from a petition to wind-down the company, are not settled first."
Central Bank pressure
On June 19, 2009, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) sent a circular to all banks, demanding that they "submit to the Ag. Director of Banking Supervision, details of their total exposures to the companies in the Energy Sector, namely Up-Stream, Down-Stream and Oil Service companies, as at May 31, 2009." Lamido Sanusi, the governor of the Central Bank, in his first official speech as governor on July 07, 2009 said: "The CBN surveillance activities will receive new impetus to ensure efficient management and good corporate governance".
In stating the central bank's view that the Nigerian banking sector does not face a systemic risk, he said: "Our view is that there are stress points in banks' balance sheets (margin loans, proprietary positions, oil marketing names, unsecured large exposures) and these are being dimensioned." The Access-AP court case has thrown up one such "stress point."
Banking and industry observers await Wednesday July 22 -when the court will give its judgment and the same day as AP's Annual General Meeting.
Access Bank Plc is amongst the top 10 Nigerian banks by assets with its headquarters in Victoria Island, Lagos. Its chairman is Aigboje Aig-Imokhuede. African Petroleum (AP) is a Nigerian major marketer of refined petroleum products, with its head office in Marina, Lagos. Its chairman is Femi Otedola.

The last 10 days were very special for Brands & Films. After almost a year of blogging, I've received an email from BBC Radio 4 reporter. They were preparing a programme on product placement and wanted my opinion on that topic. We exchange a few emails and agreed to do an interview.
BBC Radio 4 is a British radio station that broadcasts a wide variety of spoken-word programmes, including news, drama, comedy, science and history. According to RAJAR's listening figures BBC Radio 4 is the third most popular radio station in the UK with more than 10 million listeners. It is considered by many to be the corporation's flagship radio.

A recent press release has just informed of some new releases, courtesy of Penguin Books. Some titles include:
GROUND CONTROL: Fear and Happiness in the Twenty-First Century City By Anna Minton
To be published by Penguin Books, paperback original, June 25th, £9.99
Britons are increasingly aware of living in a society plagued by fear and unhappiness. Could our towns and cities be the cause? GROUND CONTROL is an in-depth and passionate exploration of the state of Britain today, revealing how the market place has taken control from the local electorate. Untested urban planning has transformed not only our cities, but the very nature of public space, of citizenship, and of trust.
Do we want to leave our high security gated development homes in the morning, go to work in sterile business districts, and shop in homogenous city centres? From Liverpool to Manchester, London to Newcastle, are examples of streets owned by private companies with the sole aim of making money, homes left to deliberately fall into dereliction so the land can be bought cheaply, imposing skyscrapers and fortress-like developments which not only provide physical barriers but engineer fear and mistrust. Yet, as Anna Minton argues, there is an alternative way which celebrates a socially cohesive and shared public space which will reinvigorate our civic engagement.
Published in hardback by Allen Lane, 30th July 2009, £25
This major philosophical work, by one of the world's leading public intellectuals, constructs a new theory of justice, not from abstract ideals or notions of what perfect institutions and rules might be, but from what the results of a system are practically, in the world. It highlights the importance of public reasoning and argues that a system of justice should require the agreement not just of the community which is making laws, but of outsiders who might be affected, or who might have valuable perspectives to offer.
WHEN SKATEBOARDS WILL BE FREE: My Reluctant Political Childhood By Said Sayrafiezadeh -- to be published by Hamish Hamilton in trade paperback on June 25th, 2009.
This is Said's memoir of being raised in Pittsburgh in the 1980s as a member of the Socialist Workers Party. It's a funny absurd account of the self-imposed poverty his mother chose for them as an 'authentic working class experience', and of his long absent father returning to his native Iran to quixotically run as SWP candidate for president there in 1979. The story is told with deadpan wisdom and without a hint of self pity.
THE WISH MAKER By Ali Sethi
To be published by Hamish Hamilton in hardback on July 2nd, 2009.

While unending snowfall may be bothersome to Montanans weary of an extended winter, it has produced an incredible spring skiing and snowboarding season.
"It's been a fantastic season," said Jeff Carroll, marketing manager for Red Lodge Mountain Resort, after spending part of Monday product testing. "And it continues to be good, quality powder."
Red Lodge Mountain recorded 8 inches of new snow on Monday morning, 19 inches in the last 48 hours and 31 inches in the last week. The summit of the area's Grizzly Peak is boasting 80 inches of snowpack.
Big Sky Resort, south of Bozeman, has received snow on 41 of the past 52 days.
"It's been a phenomenal year, coming off the whole merger," said Sheila Chapman, Big Sky public relations manager, referring to the merger of Moonlight Basin and Big Sky into the largest ski area in the nation. "I think the conditions in our area have been a perfect storm," combining with the merger to raise visitation by 20 percent.
The snowfall has been so plentiful this spring that Bridger Bowl Ski Area, northeast of Bozeman, decided to extend its season another week, until April 14. Big Sky remains open through the Easter weekend, with its last day April 20. Red Lodge Mountain's last day of the season is April 13.
The additional snow has raised the avalanche danger to considerable in the Gallatin and Madison mountain ranges, as well as the areas near Cooke City and West Yellowstone, according to the Gallatin National Forest Avalanche Center.
"Due to the heavy amount of new snow, slopes do not need to be wind loaded in order to produce avalanches," wrote Eric Knoff in the center's morning report. "Yesterday, a skier outside of Cooke City triggered avalanches 1-2 feet deep in nonwind-loaded terrain. These slides were likely failing on weak interfaces within the storm snow."
The center rated the avalanche danger as moderate in the Bridger Mountains.

Noonan Park, nicknamed rainbow park because of its arc-shaped, multicolored play sprinkler, will be getting a facelift. The city Parks Department has not established an exact groundbreaking day; however, the office of Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer (D-Sunnyside) said the construction will take place this fall.
The councilman allocated $1.35 million for Phase 1 of the project.
A comment box was set up at the Queens Library in Woodside and students from PS 199 spent a day with the councilman drawing up plans for the future of the park. Students suggested everything from the feasible, such as more play equipment, to the unfeasible, a zip line from the library gliding into the center of the outdoor space.
Last Friday morning a few parents were watching their children monkey around on the equipment, several men were chatting on a set of benches and Michael Louis of the city Parks Department was bringing out balls and hula hoops for the park's summer Tuesday Through Saturday Playground Associate Program. The park crowd swells for its weekly Friday Movie in the Park event and fills up on the weekends.
"We will dramatically transform and improve this well-utilized and much loved park," Van Bramer said.
The construction will add a playground for children ages 5 to 12 years old, which will take over a portion of the adult seating area. There will also be an added area for the younger set, ages 2 to 5, at the southwest side of the current playground. The old play equipment will be removed.
The city Parks Department did not return calls about what would be the fate of the old play structure.
One concern raised by parents through public comments was that the playground doesn't have a fence to keep children from running out into the street.
Phase 1 will remedy that with a gate at the entrances on 47th Avenue and at the corner of Greenpoint Avenue and 43rd Street as well as a fence around the perimeter.
"It could use some updating. A gate around the playground would be nice," said Sunnyside resident Julie Brandsgaard, who visited Noonan Park with her 15-month-old daughter Tessa on Aug. 3. The Brandsgaard's apartment doesn't have an outdoor space and so, Brandsgaard said, they rely on the nearby park for their nature fix.
PS 199 students researched fallen Vietnam hero Thomas Noonan and other Vietnam veterans from Sunnyside and Woodside. A memorial with the names of fallen soldiers from the two neighborhoods will be constructed prominently in the park's center.
Upgraded drainage in Phase 1 will mitigate flooding, which in the past had overflowed from the park and into the streets. Additionally, Noonan Park will receive more benches, greenery and bike racks. The rainbow fountain will remain, but will be moved slightly.
After Phase 1 wraps up, the $650,000 Phase 2, which was approved by Community Board 2 before its two-month summer break, will conclude next year. This phase's renovations include redoing the park house and bathroom and upgrading the basketball court. Overall, the renovations will cost $2.025 million.

Testing Thermal Performance
For thermal testing I decided to use a 5 mount method of logging temperatures at a fixed ambient measuring core, water, and air temperatures very carefully. Here are some of the specifics in my testing method:
- Intel i7 2600K Processor – Overclocked to 4800 MHz, 32nm, Vcore = 1.392 under load. Motherboard is an MSI P67A-GD65 with 8GB of Corsair Vengance memory. Everything else is on air at the moment. Test bench is a Danger Den Torture Rack
- 5 separate TIM applications and mounts, more if needed.
- Logging temperatures over a 45 minute test, 10 minute warmup is removed from the results, and the entire logged run is provided for review.
- Temperature Probes Deployed – I kept my sensors fairly basic, but I did run a few extra's just for interesting information. This includes a sensor for:
- 2 ea Water sensors (After radiator and pump, just before CPU block) Dallas DS18B20 Digital one-wire sensors, and CrystalFontz CFA-633
- 4 ea Air In Dallas DS18B20 Digital one-wire sensors, and CrystalFontz CFA-633
- 4 ea i7 2600K DTS sensors these were logged using Real Temp 3.67 .
- Crystal Fontz logging is accomplished through the use of their Cyrstalfonts 633 WinTest b1.9. Only special settings are turning off all packet debugger check boxes to avoid paging the processor.
- The Dallas DS18B20 Digital one-wire sensors that were used as noted above have a specified absolute accuracy of .5C with a .2C accuracy between 20 -30C temperature range. They also have resolution down to .0625C which is very good, and because they are digital they are not affected by the wiring or length of wire like thermocouples are.
- Pump – Swiftech MCP-35X with reservoir. I think this pump represents the pumping power available to many users and gives a fair amount of strong pumping power and the PWM capability makes for easy variable pumping power levels
- Radiator – The Feser Company (TFC) 480 ER radiator with Yate loon D12SL12 slow speed fans at 12V. No longer in production, but a good strong quad radiator provide roughly a 3C water/air delta when under load with the fans I'm using. The small delta means warm up time is kept to a minimum. The system will normally stabilize in under 10 minutes so there is little waste in warm up and air water variability is kept to a minimum. Users with 240 rads with similar fans should expect results to be roughly 3 degrees higher than what I have recorded.
- TIM Material – I used Arctic Cooling MX-2 for this test in a cross application method. It is considered a paste that requires very little cure and commonly enough that I felt it represent general use fairly well.
- Hardware – If the system provided by the block ensures a common mounting pressure, I will use that. Otherwise I will use my own backplate and mounting system to make testing more consistent across blocks. In this test, there was not a special mounting system, so I used my standard.
- Prime 95 Load – I used Prime 95, torture test, Custom, Min FTT 8K, Max FTT 8K, Run FFTs in place checked ON. This is an easy to use and constently loading program. It provided the most consistent loading I could find for quad cores. OCCT wasn't capable of maintaining a full 100% load and so I feel Prime 95 is a more consistent loading routine and seems to work fine. It creates 8 100% load working threads and an extreme load.
- Stock IHS – I chose to leave the IHS alone this time since it would be more representative of what most people do.
For each mount I like to show the actual logged run of the test to show the interaction between water, air, and core temps. Each air/water bump is a result of my force air furnace kicking on at the set ambient level. Water always lags a bit behind the sudden increase in air temperature, but overall the average of these results is ultimately used. Each sensor records a data point at every second, so it's quite a few lines in excel logged over time. Here are those logged testing runs showing consistency in the test proceedure:
I am generally very pleased with the testing environment. I was able to average a standard deviation between ambient air testing results to a nice tight .17 C which is very good. This allows me to compare results without any correlation or correction, these are the straight numbers as recorded. I prefer the fixed ambient method if possible because not all heat is lost into the water and some processors are particularly susceptible to problems with varied ambients. The i7 seems to be less problematic with varied ambients, but since the tests were carried out in a fixed ambient there is no no need to correct anything or worries about ambient changes…all tested in the same condition here.
My biggest and problematic variable is the mount itself where my standard deviation between the five mounts was .60C. This means my mean number has a 68% confidence in accuracy to +-.6 degrees. For a 95% confidence in the result, two standard deviations or +-1.2C would be the range. More mounts would be required to improve this standard deviation in mounting. Some of this variability is due to the bowed base and rest is user error..:) While I've tried to be as consistent as possible, the bowed base allows the block to rock and potentially mount with more pressure to one side than the other. I attempted to ensure all four corners were of equal spring pressure by measuring thread depth and also by feel, but it's a bit of a guessing game on these types of mounting systems.
That's all fine, so how does it compare you might ask. This is my second block in this CPU block testing series, so I do have some data to compare. Rather than simply giving you a bar chart, I like to present the data with the variable mounts and results to again emphasize the importance of a good mount and what sort of variability you might expect. Since the data above is consistent in both core/air and core/water, I chose to present it relative to water temperature to encourage users to understand what their water temperature is. While I may be getting a 3C water/air delta, I suspect the average user with smaller radiator would see upwards of a 10C water air/delta if additional heat is added to the loop via GPU blocks. This leaves the data below still usable for someone to understand what they might expect. If you know what your water temperature is, the below is how much you add to get the core temperature average. Again, this is average of all four cores and I do have one core that runs noticeably cooler than the other three, so your mileage may vary..:)
NOTE: The Supreme used for comparison is the OLD EK Supreme V1, this is NOT the newer HF model.
Overall, I was impressed with how much the new Koolance did over the old supreme V1, particularly when considering the CPU-370 is much lower in restriction. While both are a similar microchannel/slot nozzle style, the CPU-370 is simply more optimized and provided my i7 2600K roughly a 3 degree mean improvement at 100% pumping power.
As an added piece, I'm "attempting" my first flow rate effects piece. Rather than testing various flow rates at all mounts (A TON of work!), I simply kept the last mount in place and tested three additional pumping powers/flow rates just to feel out some information. My particular interest in this is seeing how the block reacts performance wise at extremely low flow rates. This is helpful information for both low pumping powers as well as for folks interested in dynamically throttling pump speeds via PWM pumps. Since the block was relatively low in restriction, the MCP-35X has plenty of power to explore a wide range of flow rates.
While the test data points are fairly scattered (only 4 points), it still gives you some ideas about flow rate effects:
I measured roughly a 2 degree loss in performance going from 100% pumping power beyond 2.o GPM to using 20% pumping power around .6GPM. This means the block's micro-channel design is very capable of producing great results even with very very low flow rates or very small amounts of pumping power. So for those noiseless priority types like myself, you should have no problem dialing that pump speed down to whisper quiet speeds knowing the block will still perform very well there. Also because the block restriction is fairly low, there isn't much need to consider multiple pumps in average systems.
Overall, I was very pleased to see the advancements in performance of the CPU-370 over the old EK Supreme V1. Koolance has managed to produce a block that has half as much restriction, it performs better by a few degrees, and is also a very strong performer all a variety of flow rates…excellent!!

Bulldog sophomore Louisa Lies is just too talented to keep her off the medal podium. Lies won her first career college tournament at the Dr. Donnis Thompson Invitational in Hawaii. Lies (66-76-74-216) went wire to wire after opening with a tournament low of 66. Her three round score of 216 is right up there with former winners of this event Anika Sorenstam of Arizona, who shot a 212 in 1992, and Natalie Gulbis, who carded a 216 in 2001. Lies was the only player to shoot par for the tournament, winning the event by five strokes. She had six birdies and just 24 putts in her opening round of bogey-free golf. Fresno State (305-304-301-910) placed fourth, just six strokes behind leader Rollins in the 17-team field.
Also nominated: Amanda Cross (Lacrosse) Emma Andrews (Women's Basketball) Remi Boutillier (Men's Tennis) Laura Pola (Women's Tennis) Jordan Ribera (Baseball) Michelle Moses (Softball)

Clan Wars
Latest release is 7.0
Aiming to be easy to use, flexible, and giving lots of options for the owner and players. Building upon the basic ability for groups known as clans to claim areas they can also individually distribute the land within the clan by the way of selling it or having it all be common land. Giving clans as much organisation and depth as they want with the addition of ranks. A clan leader can create as many ranks as he wants each with their own name and abilities. You can restrict building rights, ability to invite, or letting them claim land through the use of the ranks that are created. Clans are limited by the amount of land they can claim with the use of influence, a player is given on default 10 which can be configured and it goes down by 1 each time they die then slowly has to climb back up. More clan members means more influence and more land but if a clan tries to claim too much land then loses influence that land is now open for other clans to grab. Features still being added meaning your players will be happy whenever an update comes out.
Optional ecnomic support if you have vault installed.
Constently updates and improvements are on the way.

I'm a bit of an eyeliner junkie. Every single day, seven days a week, and sometimes more than once a day, I line the inner rims of my eyelids and add mascara. On major makeup days, I'll outline my entire eye in black eyeliner to draw even more attention to my deep dark look. I've never questioned my own health and safety in applying my eyeliner this way. After all, I don't share my makeup, don't use contacts, and have never had eye issues. So you can imagine my surprise in reading that this application causes eye infections and that ophthalmologists highly advise against it! Before you get too depressed about having to change your makeup application, there's a simple fix. Keep reading »

CSU-Pueblo's KTSC 89.5 Rebuilds
Colorado State University - Pueblo combines media efforts, building a new media facility.
Stay on time
The studio installation took just less than two weeks. The timetable was based on two variables: equipment delivery and the completion of fiber lines to connect the new studio to the transmitter site. Thomas broke the ice on the installation by assembling the Omnirax furniture and inserting appropriate production pieces. Next, he pulled together the Balanced U and began building all of the I/O connections for the station's audio sources. With university fiber in place, he locked in the station's Lascomm multimode fiber units. This fiber connection eliminated a pair of old analog audio cables that ran almost 1,000'.
Early on in the planning process, Thomas had communicated to the department that he wanted to get the students involved in the installation. KTSC-FM staffers were already pumped up about the possibility of a new main studio and production room so it didn't take much convincing to get them to lend a hand. Rev 89 Student Station Manager John Dalton says, "The move went a lot smoother than I expected, the staff was really helpful and excited to get into the new studio." Thomas says that working with the department's student broadcasters, who as he put it, "are the real KTSC-FM soul and sound," was enjoyable. Thomas says the students offered suggestions and help whenever needed, and they learned on the job at the same time.
RMPBS Producer Ken Sciacca was also looking forward to having new neighbors at the television station considering the Rev 89 move to BCC would create new prospects for collaboration. Shared use of the audio production booth means a better utilization of space and resources. Students can put their production skills to use doing voiceover work for the TV station. RMPBS staffers thought the increase in student presence might also provide more opportunity for majors to get involved with the television production that takes place daily.
The only real issues the team faced during the installation were getting every thing in place to start the work. Thomas says there were some ordering glitches and paperwork involved that slowed them down a bit, but the university staff always came through. He added, "As a broadcast engineer you always would like to have more new goodies but economies must be obeyed; the overall experience was great fun for me, we're lucky to have an administration that is supportive of the station and staff."
Lovato is an associate professor in the Mass Communication and Center for New Media at Colorado State University - Pueblo.

Only four seasons into showing on the couture runway, Alexandre Vauthier has developed a signature scent with perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, the nose behind Jean Paul Gaultier's hit fragrance Le Mâle. "He wanted something metallic that smelled of fur," Kurkdjian said. This translated into a voluptuous rose and jasmine accord, with a touch of spice and a green aldehydic metallic note. So far, only a handful of bottles of the scent — with the working title "AV1" — have been produced for Vauthier's models and clients to wear.

Why we can't wait to see ''Transamerica''
RELEASE DATE Dec. 2, New York and Los Angeles; Dec. 23, limited
WHY WE CAN'T WAIT Desperate Housewives' Felicity Huffman can do just about anything, which includes pleasing critics who've been buzzing about this film since its festival debut last spring.
THE PREMISE Huffman (pictured) plays Bree, a preoperative male-to-female transsexual who finds herself on a cross-country road trip with the son (Kevin Zegers) she never knew she had.
SOURCE An original screenplay by director Duncan Tucker, making his feature debut
THE BACK STORY ''Even though a transsexual woman happens to be the main character, the movie is in no way about transsexuality,'' Tucker says. Rather, ''it's about family, it's about parenting, it's about growing up.''
BURNING QUESTION Might Huffman follow her recent Housewives Emmy with an Oscar?
COME FOR Leading man er, lady Huffman
STAY FOR Dances With Wolves' Graham Greene, who may take a shine to Bree

Free Stuff By Brian Salisbury on December 16, 2011 | (66) CommentsUPDATED: Dear Commenter Jhester24, you have won with your entry "Mission: Impossible — Women." Please email the editors to claim your prize!
Good day, Mr. FSR Readership. Just in time for the release of Brad Bird's Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, we have a pair of stylish boots from Giorgio Brutini as featured in the film. These men's boots are plain-toed, six inch calf leather and are generally damn sexy. Take a good look at this slick pair below.
Your mission, should you wish to win the boots, is to complete the post-colon, secondary title to the next Mission: Impossible film. What we're looking for is the funniest, cleverest, most laugh-inducingest title continuation. For example… MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – PICKLE JAR. Does that one suck? Absolutely! So come up with a better one and post it in the comment section on this piece. We'll choose a winner on Monday who will be stylin' like a bad IMF'er. This post will self-destruct…never.
Feel free to peruse more incredible footwear designs from Giorgio Brutini

The dining room chandelier was specifically excluded from the sale of the house we bought. When we arrived at closing there was a very cheap looking chandelier for a replacement. Needless to say we need a new one. Not too traditional but also not too modern or contemporary. Wouldn't rule out something glass blown. Any great online places to recommend. Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
Overstock.com has some good ones. Cheaper crystals or crystal/glass mix. |
