The front and rear bodywork is new, although the headlights are standard Saturn items. Around 25cm has been added to the length of the car, mostly at the back, which allows the Beira to accomodate a 70-litre LPG tank alonside the regular petrol tank. While there might not be many LPG fuelling stations outside of Breckland's Norfolk home, the company has given the car the dual-fuel capability because it can. And you never know when the 700-mile range will come in handy.
This isn't a kit car and Breckland has wisely left the roof and GM doors alone, so all the seals are factory originals. No leaks here. There should also be no issues about overall build quality. Breckland previously built the Mosler, and if that car was anything it was impeccably built.
Wisely Breckland has fiddled too much. 'We didn't set out to reinvent the wheel with Beira,' says engineering director Mark Easton. 'Since all of the hard work has been done, it has enabled us to keep development costs low. We developed the Beira where we needed to, not for the sake of it.'

£55k?! Don't. The base Saturn is an under-engineered lash-up... fitting a V8 ain't gonna solve that. I like the idea of this though - take an existing car, rebody and modify to taste (much like those 2 Fiskers last year). But you gotta start with decent ingredients!

Thule Sonic Cargo Box
? Share a...
Great aerodynamic box - worth the money!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I wanted to find the perfect roof box. I did. This one was a bit more expensive than the Thule Force box I looked at but the design is much more sleek and aerodynamic. It's more low-profile than Yakima's comparable Skybox, has less wind resistance and slightly more capacity. I love that you can open the box from either side and it features two internal straps for securing your gear inside so it's not rattling around. It has minimal wind-noise and seems to be fine up to 80mph. It's a bit noisy on super windy days but that's pretty unavoidable.

Silent, secure, easy to install
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
There isn't any appreciable increase in wind noise.
Locks down securely and was very easy to install.
The only nit I have is the locking mechanism is extremely finicky. It can take quite a lot of jiggling to lock the box.
Sleek ,Solid and Sturdy !

Love it !

I purchased a black Thule sonic box when I was home for christmas in NW Montana. With crossbars and box $730 well spent.
Fast forward driving back to Denver for work, 20 miles south of Glendo Reservoir, Wyo. on I-25. CROSS WINDS AT LEAST 50MPH. Heard a thump and a woosh. Pulled over just in time to see my $730 investment heading to Nebraska. My vehicles side rails and roof were not damaged at all.....but the whole set up was irretrievable for the WIND. It was properly mounted but still a victim of the Wyoming Wind Shear test.....anyway it was a nice set up.
Given your review, it makes no sense why you rated this 4 stars. Were you able to identify the root cause? What roof rack system were you using? Was it from Thule?
Has any one used the Sonic XL on a '12-'14...
Has any one used the Sonic XL on a '12-'14 Subaru Impreza hatchback (with a spoiler)? I've read from one source that there is interference with the hatch and that the Force (Alpine) is the largest box you can run with it but I'm skeptical. I've been meaning to give Thule a call but figure someone here might know firsthand. Thanks!
I would love to know this too. Anyone?
I went ahead and bought one. I think it looks great and does not look oversized for the car.
Awesome Chris, thanks for the help! Looks good! Are you able to fully open your hatch? Thanks again!
Yes, can open the hatch with no problem at all.

Super Sonic Cargo carrier!!!!!!!!!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
We recently made a long distant trip.We were traveling at high interstate speeds.(70 plus mph with AC on)We have VW Jetta Sportwagon TDI.We were getting 39 mpg. This is pretty amazing to say the least.We have a large mountain dog and he needs all the room available .This forced us to buy the THULE SONIC CARGO BOX so we can take him and our gear. The main thing we were concerned with was fuel mileage. Not only did we get good fuel economy, but two different people inquired about our feelings about the Thule carrier.They both had different types of carriers and complained about noise and fuel mileage loss. Said they bought the others thinking they were saving money because of the Thule being a little more.Wrong?Believe you me I've got the best for Fuel economy,Ease of application & use, And looks,Bar none.My sincere thanks to the GEARHEADS who hooked me up!
Hey Jimmie, we have a jetta sportwagen as well. Did you buy the L or XL? Happen to have a picture of it on your car? Thanks!
On my jeep
this is the XL
Would you be able to post a side photo of your setup? Debating between L and XL version of Sonic and I own the same Jeep GC.
Yeah, would be great to see a side picture!
This cargo box is wonderful. I use it on my jeep grand cherokee for carrying things i don't want in the main cargo area, like shovels, wood, muddy and wet things, etc. It is Bigger than I expected, but it doesn't look like it is too big for the vehicle. Super easy to install. The acutight mounts are just like a gas tank screw, clicking when they get tight enough. I also love that I can open it from both sides. I didn't notice much difference in road noise or in my gas mileage. Overall great cargo box. I love it so much it hardly ever comes off my car.
Great Box
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I bought this box for our family vacation. I use it on a Honda Odyssey with Thule a Thule Rack. The Box is great and I am amazed at the amount of gear I can put in it. It seemed really huge when it arrived and I was worried it would dwarf my van. Once I got it on it looks nice. It functions well and was easy to install. I was able to put in on myself. I drove it empty for a few days to see how it did with road noise etc, and then added gear for comparison. It was quieter than expected and I didn't have a lot more wind noise than with just the Thule Rack alone. I did not see a big dip in fuel economy either which was great.
The one problem I have with this is in it's storage. The claws that grip the crossbars don't come off like my old box and I am afraid might not stand up to the wear and tear of placing the box on a shelf with even just he weight of the box. I had to rig up a way to hang the box from my garage.The box is bulky and storing the box that way was not easy. Another con is that the travel on these claws is limited and I had to readjust the crossbars to make it fit even at it's maximum spread. Given that the box has to be placed forward so as to not interfere with the lift gate, requires that I place the rear crossbar up about a 10" closer to the front than I like it to be.This means each time I move from carrying the box to carrying my boats I have to readjust the crossbars.
The reason I give it 4 stars anyway is because most of the other boxes have the same issue. For carrying a lot of gear this is a great tool!
Does this really do anything for my mpg's?...
Does this really do anything for my mpg's? And where does thule take their dimension measurements from? Will a 74" box fit 185 cm skis or would I need to move up a couple inches?
Wally Phillips
Hey corp399663,
Thanks for the question. When it comes to your vehicle's MPG when the Thule Sonic Cargo Box is added, it's more of minimizing how much loss there is in MPG due to wind resistance and it is minimal nowadays with the newer aerodynamic designs of cargo boxes. Also, the dimension measurements shown are external, so the internal dimensions for the Large is more like 64" where your 185cm skis will not fit. Your skis will fit in the XL though as the internal length on that size is 81".

Yeah I know, I know. All true Holmes fans know that he never really said that exact phrase, and certainly not as many times as it's been attributed to him. But it's so spot on, I can't help but bring it up. Sherlock Holmes, the original dapper don, has been a hero of mine for decades. There's just something about that cool, keen intellect, the chameleon-like ability to traverse all social strata, and his unbending integrity to the rules of observation, logic and morality that just makes me a fan for life. It's Holmes who inspired these tweed and tartan pairings. The classic blood red plaid and earthy tweeds just give off an irresistible feeling of mystery and fireplace intrigue with a dash of the proper. Longtime Keep fans will know that books have always been a big inspiration for us. We hope you enjoy this unofficial Sherlock Holmes pack as much as we do. Check out some extra pics of some Holmes shoes in Idyllwild. I especially love the one of Ashley in the trees by the lake. It really reminds me of my mom's J. Peterman catalogs for some reason. If only we could have gotten a hand drawn illustration of this photo then I could have written a wildly narrative caption for it. Oh well. I love the 80s.

During a gig in Massachusetts on June 8, it's being reported that Erick Morillo was escorted from behind the decks some 45 minutes into his set. There is no official word on what caused the "erratic behavior," but Pulse Radio is reporting that he was "visibly looking not quite fully operational" before his set, and was seen stumbling away from the decks around the 45 minute mark. There was a loop playing on repeat, and security escorting Morillo and his manager to a car to be taken somewhere. EDM Boston has posted a more detailed account of the ordeal.
We don't want to speculate about what's going on, although it sounds like Erick missed this Long Island gig he was tweeting about, and there's been no movement from him socially since that tweet. Whatever it is, DAD hopes it gets rectified so he can be back, moving the crowd.

What's the point of resist gear?
There are clear reasons why many players don't like these mechanics. Who wants to go to all the trouble of collecting a whole set of gear that you use only for one fight? Who wants to let that gear take up all that bag and bank space? Who wants to be shut out of their favorite talent build or sit somewhat on the sidelines just because the bosses they're fighting are immune to their prefered style of damage?
So Ghostcrawler comes in with the developer's logic on this issue: They don't want the raid instance to be a simple thing where you just move from one boss to the next boss, to the next, and so on. They want to break it up a bit so that different bosses require not only different strategies, but different gear, and different abilities, too. This adds a bit of anticipation, of having to get ready for the challenge rather than just stumbling into it and accidentally getting it right on the third or fourth try.
Personally, I can see how this makes sense from a developer's point of view, but from a player's point of view I do think it gets old and uninteresting, especially if the same mechanic has been used a lot in previous resist and immunity-limited boss battles. It might have been interesting the first time we saw fire resist battles in Molten Core, but even then it quickly got old -- now in Northrend it would hardly be new and exciting to see a bunch of battles requiring frost resistance. It's just more of the same old thing.
Ghostcrawler admits, too, that Blizzard hasn't always got it right, and she hopes that helps explain why resist and immunity battles were put there in the first place. Regarding how things might be in the future, she says they are actively discussing these sorts of resist battles, and they are wondering if "it may be that the time has come to phase them out." No promises or anything, but it's definitely a question on the table.
What's your opinion? Off with resistance' head? Long live resistance?

Another strong case from Penny/Vardy which also, indirectly refutes arguments from Gordon Weil in Monday's paper. Following comment did not make it into that column: With all due respect to Mr. Weil and his knowledge of the industry, his analysis is flawed. All things being equal - that is to say a modern, efficient , properly maintained thermal generating station at Holyrood versus a new hydro-electric facility at Muskrat, Holyrood comes out ahead on reliability. Where Holyrood's reliability exceeds Muskrat is on transmission. Holyrood is on the doorstep of the province's most dense electrical market - the St. John's urban area, while Muskrat is 1200 topographically and climatically challenged kilometres away. Whether it is along the rough mainland wilderness, the Labrador Straits, or the Northern Peninsula's Long Range Mountains, the delivery of Labrador power to St. John's is no cake walk. An ice storm that fells transmission towers or, worse, an iceberg that scours a subsea cable can take weeks if not months to repair - especially in the dead of winter. Indeed, as Weil himself hints, while Muskrat and Holyrood were promoted by NALCOR as an either/or proposition, the reality is that Holyrood - or some other on-Island alternative - will always be needed as a back-up for Labrador power destined for the Island. Weil sees that redundancy coming in part at least from the Maritime Link - alluding to unspecified sources in the Maritimes and the New England states. To make that case, Weil would need to demonstrate that - for example - in the depths of our blackouts two weeks ago (and assuming a break in the Labrador-Island Link) there was surplus power in the Maritimes that could have been rerouted back to Newfoundland across the Maritime Link. Weil provides no evidence to that effect - nor logically would we expect it to be given that the Maritimes were suffering the same deep freeze as NL. We can expect that it will be even less likely a scenario once NS has become dependant on Muskrat power. But more astonishing still is Weil's assertion that NL should contribute even more to a Maritime 'power pool' by not committing excess Muskrat power longterm, for example, to industry in Labrador. Mr. Weil seems not to appreciate the extent to which NALCOR, by acquiescing to the UARB's latest demands, did in effect create such a power pool. NALCOR agreed not to sell excess Muskrat power under long term contract to markets, for example, in the U.S. in order to give priority to EMERA and NS Power. NALCOR and the Dunderdale government have given and given to solve NS's power dilemma until the NL ratepayer and taxpayer bled - profusely. Already Newfoundlanders and Labradorians are on the hook to subsidize NS power rates (BELOW OUR COST OF PRODUCTION) for the next 35 years. I am astonished that Weil is still asking for more.

Talk about adding insult to injury--- the Blunderdale government, having previously excluded the PUB from any effective input into electric power management in this province, now wants to investigate the PUB!
- Anna
- January 13, 2014 - 08:51
I agree. Why should the tax payers fund another independent review by the government when we all know the reviewers will not be qualifed to undertake such a review? The review by Nalcor and the PUB should be suffice.
- Maurice E. Adams
- January 13, 2014 - 06:52
If reliability is a problem now when Holyrood and the bulk of the applicable distribution system is in the midst of its Avalon customers, how reliable will the 1,400 kilometer extension cord from Labrador be and how reliable the available power when almost 2/3rds of Muskrat's rated power will legally be committed to Nova Scotia?

Not sure why this worked...
I disabled my Primary IDE drive during the install. I installed Fedora to the secondary (hdb). Once the install was complete, re-enabled the primary hda drive. I modified my Boot.ini to point to the linux (bootsect.lnx) and rebooted. Next it prompted me to boot Windows or Linux. I chose Linux and there you have it! It loaded. Not sure why it worked that way...

So I am trying to maintain my sfg organically this year. In the past I have used synthetic ferts to keep the garden going, but this year I felt like making the change. I did quick test on my soil and found there to be a nitrogen deficiency. Basically it is a little low for my nitrogen loving plants. Will this Dr. Earth Home Grown liquid fert work fast? I have read that you really need to use the synthetic stuff for this reason, but I'd love to hear your opinion on the matter. What do you all know about this stuff, or any fast acting organic fert? I already prepped the mix with some Jobes dry fert about a month ago to get it going. Is the Dr Earth a pretty good brand? |

Interested in this brand too. Would love to know your results, if you try it! |

It seems to work really well. I have now completed two applications over a one month period and have seen some pretty explosive growth. Now granted, the growing season really kicked in over the last few weeks, but my corn went from around 2 ft to 4 ft within one week of application and is now tasseling at about 6-7 ft. My Tomatoes were around 1-1.5 feet and are now over 3-4 feet each with a good bit of blossoms showing. It is a little bit expensive, as I had to get mine on amazon because it is not sold around me, so I will probably use it more sparingly going forward. I was thinking about going to 1/2 strength every three weeks going forward. I think it is great to get your plants over those growing humps and times of need. It seems to be legitimately fast acting and seems to have a similar effect on the plants as a synthetic fert would. Without going into the results on all of my plants, I would like to add one more thing. I think this pretty much saved my stunted eggplant as it was just a droopy seedling and is now a legitimate plant. It was one day from being pulled before I used this product. So I guess to answer your question, yes I would recommend it for use on all of your veggies. It really helped my garden take off. |

Apart from being regarded as the City of Music because of its musical legacy, Vienna is also said to be "The City of Dreams" because it was home to the world's first psycho-analyst – Sigmund Freud. Vienna offers a great amount of extraordinary historical sights and places of interest. As the capital of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire, Vienna demonstrates imperial power and greatness, which is evident in the gorgeous architecture found throughout the city. The capital scores highly thanks to the first-rate musical and cultural attractions at its concert halls, museums and theaters - from the Golden Hall of the Musikverein to the acclaimed Museum of Fine Arts and the State Opera House. Vienna is also a byword for epicurean enjoyment, with centuries of traditions shaping its coffee houses and Heuriger wine taverns. Over half of the city is accounted for by green spaces including parks and gardens, the Vienna Woods and the wetlands of the Donau Auen National Park.

Flash of Genius
Premiere May 8th
Making his directorial debut, producer Marc Abraham (Children of Men) brings us the true story of college professor and part-time inventor, Robert Kearns (Greg Kinnear). For 15 years Kearns battled the US auto industry for stealing his intermittent windshield wiper idea. Go on, groan. Fortunately, Kinnear's portrayal of this average, middle-class Joe, chasing his version of the American dream makes the film much more than a predictable power struggle. In turn, it propels Kinnear from his usual supporting role status (Little Miss Sunshine, As Good as It Gets), to protagonist class, as a man who refuses to compromise his dignity and ethics at any cost. Can this modern-day David succeed and bring Goliath to his knees?

Hey there knitters/crocheters/crafters! Do you have a loved one or someone you know deployed overseas in any branch of the military? Want to do something to do something to say "thank you" to the men and women of the U.S. Military? Well, you can!
Operation Gratitude is collecting warm scarves and caps for the their 2010 Holiday Drive. So what better than to donate handmade?
Operation Gratitude is a non-profit, volunteer-based corporation that seeks to lift morale and put smiles on faces by sending care packages addressed to individual Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines deployed overseas.
This year they are trying to include a scarf or cap inside each one of the care packages, their goal this year being 60,000 scarves and caps!
The hats and scarves don't have to be fancy, in fact it is requested that you keep hats and scarves very simple (no fringe please). Any pattern may be used, a basic stitch with a soft yarn and a subtle color is perfect. Operation Gratitude asks that the measurements of scarves adhere as closely as possible to 5-7" across and no more than 50" long.
Beginning in September the Van Nuys Armory will be accepting items for the 2010 Holiday Drive, so please hang onto your scarves and caps until then.
For more details about Operation Gratitude, where to send your hats and scarves, specific patterns, and other ways that you can help, email email@example.com or visit their website.

Rand Paul Fires Back: He's Being 'Trashed Up and Down' by 'Democratic Talking Points'
Rand Paul is making the rounds of talk shows trying to dial back the media storm over his Civil Rights Act PR fiasco, and even dad Ron Paul has weighed in to defend him, arguing that liberals are jealous of his son's political future. On Thursday Rand Paul told CNN he would have voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act, despite earlier saying he had misgivings about extending a ban on discrimination to private businesses. This morning he told George Stephanopoulos that the criticism over his comments were just "Democratic talking points" and "red herrings" by opponents trying to "trash" his campaign. ""When does my honeymoon period start? I had a big victory," he complained to Stephanopoulos. He's even added another talking point to the media frenzy, criticizing President Obama's handling of the BP oil spill. "What I don't like from the president's administration is this sort of, 'I'll put my boot heel on the throat of BP,' " Paul told Stephanopoulos.... -

Gay Rights a Flashpoint in Kagan Confirmation
Even before President Obama officially announced Elena Kagan as his Supreme Court pick, gay-rights advocates were celebrating and conservatives were grumbling. President of the Human Rights Campaign Joe Solomonese applauded the leaked decision, saying, "We are confident that Elena Kagan has a demonstrated understanding and commitment to protecting the liberty and equality of all Americans, including [lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender] Americans." There is one place where Kagan has demonstrated that LGBT commitment most, and that is at Harvard, where she was the first female dean of its esteemed law school. The war in Iraq, which started shortly before her 2003 appointment, would soon lead to massive recruiting efforts by the U.S. military, but Kagan was opposed to military recruitment on campus because of the armed forces' policy against allowing gays and lesbians to serve their country openly, calling it "a profound wrong—a moral injustice of the first order."

Right Wing: NEWSWEEK's Guide to Conservative Talking Points on the Oil Spill
The headline of a recent National Review Online editorial tells it simply: "Yes, Keep Drilling." Why? Here is a rundown of some conservative talking points on why Americans might want to drop the "drill, baby, drill" motto—it doesn't sound so good now—but should drill on anyway.Oil remains our most cost-effective source of transportation fuel. "Others already have observed, correctly, that the risks involved in drilling off the coast of the United States are small in proportion to those involved in shipping oil across the ocean or drilling off the coasts of countries that do not treat safety and environmental standards with our own degree of care," write the National Review editors.Alternatives proposed by environmentalists may be just as costly, if not more, than the BP cleanup.

FOXBORO — As far as Tom Brady is concerned, The Patriot Way of playing football not only still exists, it will help the team overcome the difficult times it is now experiencing.
The quarterback spoke with New England reporters Thursday for the first time since the arrest of former teammate Aaron Hernandez on murder charges. He answered questions for 17 minutes, one of the longest sessions he has had in recent years, and did all he could to begin turning the atmosphere surrounding the team in a positive direction.
Speaking in a low-key but serious manner the day before the team holds its first full practice of training camp at Gillette Stadium, Brady spoke about how he and his fellow co-captains have to show leadership to get the Pats back on track.
"The fate of our season is going to be determined by the guys in the locker room and hopefully nothing else," he said. "You talk about the Patriot Way, and to me that means mental toughness, it means dealing with different situations and adversities over the course of a season and offseason, and how you can put those things behind you and focus on your job."
Brady went out of his way several times to express his concern for what has happened, but quickly followed that by speaking about how he and his teammates must focus on their jobs.
"It's a terrible thing that happened," Brady said. "In the city of Boston this year, look what happened in the marathon. These are terrible things you wish never happened to anybody. There's a very human, compassionate element that we all have. When it's someone that has been on our team, it's a very sad thing. I think that we as a team have tried to move forward with better awareness and understanding with these types of things. Hopefully nothing like this ever happens again."
He emphasized the positive things the Patriots, and Patriot players, have done over the years.
"We've had such great examples over the years — whether it's Tedy Bruschi or Mike Vrabel or Troy Brown or Kevin Faulk — guys that have really worn this uniform and worn it well. And not only have we been successful on the field, but guys have committed so much of their time to doing things that are good in the community," Brady noted. "This obviously is not a time when those things are recognized because there's another situation to deal with.
"But I'm still really proud of all those guys that have worn the uniform and worn it well and hopefully have gone out and tried to make the city of Boston and all of New England proud of all we do on and off the field," he said.
"It's been a challenging offseason. Hopefully we can go out and do something that our community can really be proud of."
Virtually all the questions Brady faced focused on the Hernandez situation and how it might impact the team. Each time he was asked about his relationship with Hernandez or what the tight end was like around his teammates, Brady deflected the question, including one about whether he has spoken to Hernandez since his arrest.
"Stacey [James, the team's vice president for media relations] told me I can't comment on any of that," Brady said. "It's a good question, but I'm not supposed to comment on any of those things. ... I'm really not supposed to comment on Aaron."
Brady did speak about his own emotions and how he hopes to help his team overcome the off-field issues.
"I think everyone had a certain range of emotions, whatever they might have been. But those were very personal, and I dealt with them," he offered. "Certainly it's a very tragic thing that happened, someone lost their life. But all those things were out of the players' control here and we're not really part of that situation, so I don't think it does a lot for us to get too much involved."
Brady said he hopes to lead by example.
"We're here to try to win football games and try to represent all of New England. I think we try to do that the best way we know how," he said. "There's a very high standard so many guys have set forth when I got here, before I got here. I learned from Drew Bledsoe, he was a guy I looked up to and was such a great example of how a person should act on the field and off the field. Hopefully some of the younger players can look at some of these captains out here today as roles models."
Vince Wilfork, Devin McCourty and Jerod Mayo also spoke with reporters. A common theme was rebuilding the team's image.
"We've got to work hard to reestablish what we're all about," Brady said. The goal is to start that immediately.
"It's a real-life situation that everyone has had to deal with," Brady noted. "Coach [Belichick], in the team meetings we have, always gives us a lot of information. That's part of his role as a head coach. As captains of the team, we take that information and do with it as we please. I think we're just excited to be here.
"It's a fresh start for all of us," he went on. "I know this last six weeks has been distracting for a lot of people, but I'd say for this team, we're trying to focus on our job and what we have to do to come out and win football games."

Given that these are not finished wines, please bracket all scores by + or - 2 (so 93 = 91-95) and note that 96 is the highest score possible.
There are potentially rich pickings amongst the minor appellations this year in my opinion: where the owners/winemakers haven't been overly ambitious and extracted too much from the grapes, there are wines that deliver a
lot of fruit, style and structure for what should be modest prices. Look for most of these wines to appear in the £8 - £15 per bottle range. The selection also includes a few "garagiste" style wines, where prices
will be higher.

Marijuana: Law enforcers' letter to Hick freaks out over pot bills
We've been following the rapidly evolving marijuana bills intended to enact voter-approved Amendment 64, which allows adults 21 and over in Colorado to use and possess small amounts of cannabis. So, too, have assorted law enforcement groups -- and judging by a letter that several organizations sent to Governor John Hickenlooper and numerous legislators, they're absolutely alarmed by some of the developments, as well as relative inaction on a measure intended to define "drug-endangered children." See the letter and more below.
The letter was released by the Colorado Association of Chiefs of Police, currently presided over by Broomfield Police Chief Tom Deland. But it's also been blessed by several other outfits, including the Colorado District Attorneys Council, the County Sheriffs of Colorado and the Colorado Drug Investigators Association.
The last group's Facebook page makes its enmity for Amendment 64 clear, from this graphic....
...to a March 27 post that reads, "There are serious deficiencies in the Colorado Medical Marijuana regulatory system. The Colorado State government simply cannot keep up with these changes that have been forced upon its citizens. Another clear indication why legalization is wrong for Colorado."
The tone of the letter is similar. Here's a passage that depicts the majority of Coloradans who marked their ballots in favor of A64 as either hopelessly naive or victims of flim-flammery by the unscrupulous backers of the measure:
Many citizens supported Amendment 64 without understanding that the resources to implement the oversight of the marijuana industry were not provided for in the Amendment, and did not realize that another vote would be required to provide for the education resources promised in the amendment. Without adequate resources Amendment 64 is a legal free for all, and Colorado's law enforcement community stands ready to help secure the resources necessary to provide an adequate regulatory framework.
Broomfield's Tom Deland is the president of the Colorado Association of Chiefs of Police. |
The combination of questions about whether this number is supported by science and a U.S. Supreme Court ruling against warrantless blood draws appears to have persuaded the Senate Judiciary Committee to reject the proposal by a 4-1 vote after it had passed the House. But supporters of so-called DUI-D are attempting to bring the measure back to life as an amendment to House Bill 13-1317, the main marijuana regulatory offering -- and the law enforcement groups believe its passage is a must even though Colorado already has statutes that forbid driving under the influence of drugs.
"Establishing this standard will decrease the number of impaired driving incidents and serve as a strong public policy statement against driving under the influence of marijuana," they write, adding, "To implement Amendment 64 without an impaired driving standard is irresponsible."

- Patch 3.3.3 - Authenticator Login Screen
For those of you who use Authenticators, there is now an extra blank on the main login screen for your six digit code. If you forget to put the code in, it will prompt you in the same way it currently does.
- Patch 3.3.3 - Auction House Stacks
The ability to manage stacks of items a little better has been added to the Auction House. Here is a quick look at that feature.
- Patch 3.3.3 - Auction House Stacks
The Maximum button updates the information to the maximum you have available for that item. Being as I only had 12 pieces of Frostweave on the PTR, it hit a max of 12 instead of the normal 20 per stack.
- Patch 3.3.3 - Random Battlegrounds
Here is a look at the Random Battleground finder. It's much like the Random Dungeon Finder we have currently with a relatively simple interface.
- Patch 3.3.3 - Call to Arms
Here's the call to arms information for this week's battleground. It has the same extra rewards as the random battleground.
- Patch 3.3.3 - Select a Battleground
If you just select a non-Call to Arms battleground, you get a brief description of the battleground. Nothing special here, just noting the differences.
- Patch 3.3.3 - Holiday Dungeon Finder
In the Dungeon Finder, there is a new option available. This one allows you to find groups for the holiday bosses. According to the information from Blizzard, this will end up being the only way to access these special holiday bosses. We'll know more details further into the PTR process.
- Patch 3.3.3 - Holiday Boss Dungeon Finder
Here's a look at the 'quest' rewards for getting a group to do a holiday boss. As you can see, the interface still needs a bit of work, but expect to be using something like this for your Headless Horseman tries (or your attempts at melting the Ice Stone).
- Patch 3.3.3 - Frozo
This is a new Dalaran vendor located between the engineering hall and the mining hall in the professions area. He wants your Frozen Orbs and will trade you other goods for them.
- Patch 3.3.3 - Frozen Orb Vendor
Here are some of the items you can nab for your Frozen Orbs. By the way, I expect the Frost Lotus price to be a mistake. Expect it to cost a Frozen Orb by the time it goes live.

The secondary concentration in sports business gives interested Gabelli School of Business students a grounding in the key organizational, marketing, media and legal issues in professional and amateur sports. It integrates specialized sports-business courses into the context of the Gabelli School's high-quality business program, making our students competitive without limiting their career choices.
Credits: 10
Required coursework: Sports Marketing (MKBU 4454), Business of Sports Media (CMBU 4488), Sports Law (BLBU 3450) and a one-credit capstone component. Course descriptions are as follows:
Sports Marketing (MKBU 4454)
Professor Francis Petit
This class focuses on the viability of sports and the "association of sport" in today's economy and applies the principles of sports marketing to a selected organization and industry. Topics include the business of sports, sports related products/services, utilizing the "association of sport" to market non-sports-related products/services, promotion, pricing, sponsorships and careers in sports marketing. Two papers are assigned.
Business of Sports Media (CMBU 4488)
Professor John Fortunato
Business of Sports Media examines the mass-media industry in relation to the sports field and the unique characteristics that are a part of this industry. The course focuses on the economic relationship of the media, advertisers and sports industries. Topics studied that have a significant impact on all sports include broadcast, advertising, sponsorship and public relations. Students will learn the day-to-day functions of the people who work in the sports industry. The course looks at various sports as well as various forms of media and various public relations and advertising strategies. Students will get an understanding of the industry today and will learn about the history of the sports media and the pivotal people who helped shape the field.
Sports Law (BLBU 3450)
Professor Mark Conrad
This class discusses and analyzes the applicable law, business models and rules governing the sports industry and the legal controversies and policy considerations surrounding those rules. It focuses on amateur sports and their governance; the structure and powers of professional sports leagues; the elements of a sports contract and examples of coaches, athletes and endorsement/sponsorship contracts; the confluence of antitrust and labor law issues on leagues, individual sports and athletes; personal injury and risk management; international sports, such as the Olympics; and intellectual property and media issues. An in-class midterm and a take home final are required, along with a number of case studies and oral arguments.
One-credit capstone component
What makes the Gabelli School's secondary concentration in sports business unique is a one-credit independent-study requirement. Students choose one of three options:
Conference Presentation: Students may present scholarly research at an organization's conference. This option would be especially appealing to students who plan to go on to graduate school or pursue academic sports administration. The following organizations are potential venues for student presentations:
- Sports and Recreation Law Association (SRLA): Covers topic involving legal issues in professional, amateur and recreational sports.
- Collegiate Sports Research Institute
- North American Society for Sports Management
- Sport Entertainment & Venues Tomorrow Conference
- International Association for Communication & Sport Conference
Internship: Students may be interns for a semester, for a stipulated number of hours per week, at the Fordham Athletic Department; for a professional league, team, individual sports organization or recreational league; or for a firm involved in sports marketing, sports communications or sports law. The internship must be approved by one of the program advisors. Students are required to write a paper about their experience.
Travel: Students may opt to travel during summer or winter break to see an international perspective on the sports business. For example, Sports Travel Academy, http://sportstravelacademy.com, a private venture, specializes in two- to three-week faculty-led study abroad programs catering to sports business majors. Its locations have included Ireland, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany and Australia. Students are required to write a paper about their experience.

Weir's X-Stream severe service control valve, leads with complete 3D flow control.
The X-Stream severe service control valve, is a result of an extensive research programme at Weir's Blakeborough facility. The need to solve cavitation, erosion and noise in high pressure severe process applications resulted in using a combination of proven computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and actual flow visualisation techniques. The objective of the X-Stream severe service control valve was to eliminate local areas of excessive turbulence, velocity and recirculating flow addressing the source of all noise, erosion and cavitation respectively. Through it's unique flow path design, consisting of a multitude of staggered cylinders, the X-Stream is the first of its kind to solve all of the above and provide complete 3D-flow control. The X-Stream design is most suitable for all severe service liquid,steam and gas applications. Some of the additional features include trim design equated to upto 40 stages of pressure reduction. Custom design to address linear, equal percentage and flow charcteristics. The single unit cage guided trim design facilitates quick removal and installation.DOWNLOAD VALVE SOLUTIONS APP.

My goose has been setting for 12 days. I read on another site to remove the goslings as they hatch to keep her setting because the eggs were not laid on the same day. It said she may leave the nest after the first eggs hatch to care for them. Will she accept the goslings when I return them to her once I have taken them away? |

Hello all, this is my first post so please bear with me. A plant grew in a pot in my garden a couple of years ago, seemingly out of nowhere. Leaves start to appear in early winter with flowers in late winter/early spring. The flower dies back in late spring, leaving a thick central style. It looks Peony-like, but the seed head is different - it seems to have two different types of leaves. Many thanks! |

If you're not already a dog lover, I suggest you watch the Pedigree Puppy commercial, because you will become one after it's over. Not only is the Pedigree Puppy commercial absolutely adorable, but it showcases dogs' intelligence, at least their intelligence in the animal kingdom.
Nevertheless, the Pedigree Puppy commercial will melt your heart a little bit, especially when the little guy runs towards the camera.

27/12/2010 The latest book from Hasselblad photographer Tim Flach, titled Dogs Gods, has met with wide acclaim since its worldwide publication in October 2010. A passionate, long-time Hasselblad shooter and Ambassador, Flash shot virtually all of the book's exquisite images with his Hasselblad system. He clearly has an affinity for capturing the spirit and likeness of his animal subjects.
Similar to his first well-received book, Equus, published in 2008, Dogs Gods showcases images that range from conceptual and abstract to more literal interpretations. This photographic tribute of man's oldest, most faithful friend reveals that our bond with canines is more intense than previously thought.© Tim Flach

Haitian migrants denied basic rights in Dominican Republic
21 March 2007
"If you are black, with identity card or without it, with birth certificate or without, it is the same, it has no value…. In the streets, with migration officials, you don't have any rights." - T. G., a Dominican of Haitian descent
An eight-year-old girl was seized by officials in the streets of the Dominican capital Santo Domingo in the evening of 4 January 2006. She was slapped across the face twice, hard enough to make her mouth bleed. Then she was taken to a detention centre for irregular migrants, without being allowed to contact her parents, and held overnight.
She was only saved from being expelled to neighbouring Haiti when a local human rights organization proved she was a Dominican national – because she was black, officials had assumed she was Haitian and in the country without legal permission.
As well as the risk of expulsion, Dominican children of Haitian descent face barriers when they try to obtain a birth certificate from the Civil Registrar Office. Without a birth certificate (the identification document for minors), they are unable to study beyond primary level.
They are also unable to claim an identity card when they become 18, barring them from the formal job market and from voting. Parents without documents cannot register their children, leaving many thousands effectively stateless, and perpetuating the cycle of deprivation of rights.
Amnesty International calls on the Dominican authorities to end arbitrary expulsions of Haitian migrants and discriminatory policies that prevent Dominicans of Haitian descent from obtaining Dominican nationality.
Dominican Republic: A life in transit - The plight of Haitian migrants and Dominicans of Haitian descent
Index Number: AMR 27/001/2007Date Published: 21 March 2007
Categories: Americas, Dominican Republic
This report focuses on discrimination faced by Haitian migrant workers and Dominicans of Haitian descent and the barriers to their full and effective enjoyment of civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights in the Dominican Republic. It details Amnesty International's current human rights concerns regarding discrimination, racism and xenophobia against Haitian migrant workers.

Discussion with former U.S. ambassador Philip D. Murphy, former U.S. Ambassador to Germany, Monday, April 21, 4 p.m, Auditorium of the Harrison Institute/Small Special Collections Library. Reception to follow. (Text: Join former U.S. ambassador Philip D. Murphy on Monday, April 21 for a candid discussion of the United States' relationship with Germany, one of its closest allies in Europe. A former senior director at Goldman Sachs, Mr. Murphy served as U.S. Ambassador to Germany for four years, until 2013. Prior to his diplomatic service, he worked 23 years for Goldman Sachs, holding senior positions in Frankfurt, New York and Hong Kong. Upon his retirement from the firm, heserved as the Democratic National Committee's National Finance Chair (2006-2009) before being confirmed by the U.S. Senate as ambassador in 2009. Sponsored by The College and Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, the Department of Politics, the Center for German Studies and the Miller Center.
Why exactly did the Nazis burn the Hebrew Bible everywhere in Germany on November 9, 1938? The perplexing event has not been adequately accounted for by historians in their large-scale assessments of how and why the Holocaust occurred. In this gripping new analysis, Alon Confino draws on an array of archives across three continents to propose a penetrating new assessment of one of the central moral problems of the twentieth century. To a surprising extent, Confino demonstrates, the mass murder of Jews during the war years was powerfully anticipated in the culture of the prewar years.
The author shifts his focus away from the debates over what the Germans did or did not know about the Holocaust and explores instead how Germans came to conceive of the idea of a Germany without Jews. He traces the stories the Nazis told themselves—where they came from and where they were heading—and how those stories led to the conclusion that Jews must be eradicated in order for the new Nazi civilization to arise. The creation of this new empire required that Jews and Judaism be erased from Christian history, and this was the inspiration—and justification—for Kristallnacht. As Germans imagined a future world without Jews, persecution and extermination became imaginable, and even justifiable.
Alon Confino is professor in the Department of History at the University of Virginia and at Ben Gurion University, Israel. A leading scholar of German memory and national culture, he is the author of three previous books. He lives in Charlottesville, VA.

Center members Manuela Achilles (German and History), Tim Beatley (Architecture), Peter Debaere (Darden), Dana Elzey (Engineering), and Gordon Stewart (College) were instrumental in conceptualizing and organizing a first University-wide Family Weekend symposium at UVa. Bringing together many UVa schools and programs, the two-day event explored, from a cross- and interdisciplinary perspective, conceptions of a more sustainable society by focusing on one of its central everyday objects: the car.
Nationally and internationally prominent experts on sustainability joined UVa faculty to discuss alternative car technologies and fuels, as well as the effect of cars on our health, city planning, and culture. Panelists included bestselling authors Jeremy Rifkin, Daniel Sperling and Debbie Gordon, car company executives Chris Borroni-Bird (GM) and Frank Weith (VW), battery expert Michelle Buchanan from the Oakridge National Laboratory, and cultural historian Wolfgang Schivelbusch. Faculty from the University included Bob Davis (Chemical Engineering), Brent Gunnoe (Center for Catalytic Hydrocarbon Funtionalization), Mike Lenox (Darden School), Audrey Synder (School of Nursing), and Kim Tanzer (School of Architecture).
On-site exhibits featured the newest car technology and car-related projects by UVa students, and a pristine 1927 Model T convertible made available by Law alumnus Peter Bernhardt. A University-wide prize competition challenged UVa's undergraduates to imagine the car of the future or a future without cars. The winners were announced by President Teresa A. Sullivan in front of a large audience. In cooperation with the Virginia Film Festival, the symposium concluded with a film screening of "The Nature of Cities" by UVa's Tim Beatley, followed by a discussion of the key challenges of urban mobility for the cities of the future.
The symposium was sponsored by the Center for German Studies, Page-Barbour Fund, Center for Global Initiatives (Darden School of Business), Batten School of Public Policy, School of Architecture, School of Engineering and Applied Science, School of Nursing, College of Arts and Sciences, Office of Development and Public Affairs, and Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany. All events were free and open to the public. Film clips of the sessions will be available soon on this website.

Sponsored by the Center for German Studies in cooperation with many UVa programs and schools, and supported by the German Embassy, this University-wide prize competition asked UVa undergraduate students to explore the future of a sustainable society by focusing on the car of the future and the future of the car. The best project received a cash award of $2,500 (first runner up $1,000, and second runner-up $500). The prize was announced in the presence of President Teresa A. Sullivan on Nov. 6, 2010 during UVa's family weekend symposium on the car and its future.
Kyle joined UVa in the fall of 2009 as a prospective chemical engineer. He is a member of RideForward, an interdisciplinary project initiated by UVa Professor Jim Durand to research, design and build alternative energy vehicles. Kyle hopes to attend graduate school for materials science or chemical engineering. His ultimate goal is to research large-scale alternative fuels for various transportation systems and small-scale solutions for home use. His prize-winning essay combines a knowledgeable discussion of technological change with a description of RideForward's conversion of conventional cars into to electric drive. His essay thus puts on the map an often ignored question: what to do with the old existing cars, and how to upgrade their operating systems.
David grew up in a military family and spent a large portion of his childhood in Bavaria (Germany). The cars he saw in Europe inspired his love for automobiles. When he was twelve years old, he moved to Leavenworth, Kansas, which he now considers his home town. David is the founder and President of the Virginia Automotive Club. His ultimate goal is to become an engineer for a major automobile company. His prize-winning essay imagines the car of the future through the eyes of a (female) race car driver who awakens after 30 years in a coma. As she reacquaints herself with the object of her desire, the reader learns not only about the technologies of the future, but also experiences how the cars of the future will feel.
A recent graduate of UVa, Lauren has a long-standing interest in sustainability and international affairs. She covered the university's sustainability initiatives for the Cavalier Daily, and took courses in architecture, environmental science and "Building a Sustainable Future." She interned at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and hopes to attend graduate school to study international communication. Her prize-winning essay starts with the observation that the United States and Germany share many similarities, yet have vastly different rates of walking, bicycling and automobile use. Based on an impressive comparative analysis of statistical data, she shows that planning is an important contributing factor in establishing walking and cycling as sustainable (and healthy) alternatives to driving automobiles.
Funded by the German Embassy, and organized by Dr. Martin Sheehan's "Environment and Energy" seminar, the Transatlantic Climate Bridge Initiative at the University of Virginia enriched this year's family weekend with playful and informative outreach activities about climate change and energy security. The main events—"Bike for Light" and "Bridge to Sustainability"—took place on Saturday, November 6, 2010. Located on the central Newcomb Hall Plaza, the attractive activity stations invited students and their families to stop by and learn in very practical ways about clean energy and recycling strategies. The "Bike for Light" station allowed participants to compete for the creation of as much energy as possible. Software linked to the bike compared the energy produced to the average per-capita energy consumption of different countries. The "Bridge to Sustainability," on the other hand, introduced participants of all ages to the German art of Mülltrennung (waste separation). Prizes included organic cotton shirts, re-usable water bottles, and re-usable bags. Green Frisbees encouraged exercise and healthy lifestyles. The student-driven climate bridge initiatives culminated in a sustainable barbecue, hosted by the University's International Residents College on November 12, 2010. Organizers and guests enjoyed local organic bratwurst served on compostable plates with biodegradable cutlery to match. The pleasant atmosphere fostered many fruitful and international discussions of climate change and its many implications—social, economic, and political.
The Center for German Studies is pleased to announce its third annual essay contest for all undergraduate students at the University of Virginia. The student with the best essay will receive a cash award of $300 (first runner-up $200 and second runner-up $100). Your essay may draw on a seminar paper you wrote here at UVa, and should be five to six pages long (double-spaced). The topic of this year's contest is open. Please submit your essay to Professor Bjorklund (; 518 Cabell Hall). The deadline is April 8, 2012. The winners will be announced during the third week of April.
First Prize Essays: 2009 (.pdf, 104KB), 2010, (.pdf, 148KB) 2011 (.pdf, 302KB)
