Quebec must be laughing at the lawyers from NFLD that are apposing the muskrat falls development, with all the free legal advice the lawyers are giving on the Muskrat Falls DEVELOPMENT That Quebec would have to pay for if they worked for them, There is only one real solution for the supply of a safe, Clean and long lasting and reliable source of power in the world, That is the source of power produced by a HYDRO Development, The Mighty Churchill Falls HYDRO Development is one of the Greatest,Safest,and Cleanest source of power in the world, If the Muskrat Falls Was Developed with a Transmission Line To The Island Then Underwater To The Canadian Main Land, with extra power lines to carry the upper Churchill power after 2041 when the one sided deal in with Quebec now in place expires, It would be the cleanest, Cheapest, Most Reliable Source of power in the world,That could be sold to any and all markets. Then NFLD NOT Quebec would be in controle of the Upper Churchill Falls Power

Those lawyers that formed a group to oppose the Development of Muskrat Falls are putting obstacles in the path of the development of Muskrat Falls. Instead of trying to find an excuse as to why this development should not be built, they should be doing all they can to try to help build this development. The Island of Newfoundland needs this power. The oil fired generating plant in Holyrood, Duff's Hydro is listed as one of the top ten worse air pollutors in the world. It burns millions of barrels of crude oil per month which will only increase in cost each year. The Churchill Falls which ran for millions of years will run forever. This will cut out the expense of oil in Holyrood. I think the Muskrat Falls should be built with the transmission line to the island as planned, then underwater to the Eastern Mainland of Canada with extra transmission lines to carry the Upper Churchill Power when the one-sided contract now in place with Quebec expires in 2041. Without its own transmission line, Quebec not NFLD will always be in control of the Churchill Falls power.

When will this end. We should all remember how this development has been held out as election bait since Jos, Smallwood. With the possible exception Beaton Tulk the list includes all of them: Moores, Peckford, Rideout, Grimes, Wells, Tobin, Williams. The jury may still be out on the Williams deal but it sure seems to walking down the path previously traveled. Nearly everyone on this list showed by their behaviour to have serious lapses with truth and intentions in regard to this issue. My stomach still turns when recalling Wells being a lead lawyer for Hydro Quebec against the Water Rights Reversion Act. And winning. Now there's a proud Newfoundlander for you. The real problem is the near unbreakable contract with Hydro Quebec. Any other lopsided contract entered into through the conniving of the Federal Liberals, Quebec Liberals, Bank of Montreal and Hydro Quebec against Brinco would have been branded as near criminal. But not at the Supreme Court of Canada. With appointed judges showing regional bias in favour of the status quo we should not be so foolish to expect justice. Keep in mind this court is dominated by members from Quebec and westward; never yet an appointment from Newfoundland from 1949 to this date. Hopefully the Williams effort will come to pass, time marches on.

Apparently Nalcor is ignoring the 1999 Shareholder's Agreement between Hydro Quebec and CFLCO, which gives Hydro Quebec a veto over this type of issue. Sounds to me like another case of certain politicians trying to push people around, but leaving themselves wide-open to the courts: ie: Abitibi.

John, your not impressed that efficient heating fully offsets twice the current Holyrood production, and equal to the full amount we intend to take from MF in 2017. But remember, efficient heating comes with a 30 percent drop in electrcity bills while MF has at least a 40 percent increase. That's got to make you jump for joy. Or laugh? Or cry? Or shut you up with no reply?
- Cyril Rogers
- October 24, 2012 - 13:28
Notably absent from this discussion is the fact the lawyers argue on legalities and advise clients on what they think is legal, despite decisions that often go against their position. One would expect that NALCOR would have: (1) referred the matter to the courts rather than assume that their lawyers legal opinions was the final word, or (2) entered into an agreement with Hydro Quebec to ensure no nasty surprises down the road. Let's not forget that the legal minds who advised the government about the seizure of the Grand Falls mill neglected to ensure that we were not saddled with a property that will require hundreds of millions to restore to an acceptable environmental standard. The law is a blunt instrument at times and can be very unpredictable. The opinions expressed by both sides may be incorrect and sanctioning of this project cannot be entrusted to a legal opinion.

I also think it's interesting that Mr. Coffee's law partner, was the gentleman who did all the legal wrangling for the province when it came to the water rights issues Re: Muskrat and the lower churchill. As such he should have all the info on water rights and their related issues.

- October 24, 2012 - 12:32
This article is bringing out the Nalcor bloodhounds and flaks. Hundreds of millions so far on a non sanctioned project. Legalized theft thanks to PC legislation. And who cares about the fine print that could handcuff Newfoundland all over again.
- Jay
- October 24, 2012 - 13:37
Eli, why is it that if your for this project you're a "flak" but if your against it, you're just looking out for the best interests of the province. It's great that the 2041 group, after fighting this initiative for months, now thinks it has an actual reason to be against it. Isn't it great for Quebec that we can count on local lawyers to look out for their rights. It reminds me of the good old days of Clyde Wells (a Liberal). Of course, before that it was the Churchill Falls giveaway (Liberals). Are we starting to see a pattern here? Tory times may be hard times, but Liberal times are good times........for Quebes
- Eli
- October 24, 2012 - 13:56
Jay, so you're telling me it was wrong for the Liberals to give away the farm on the Upper Churchill but ok for the PC's to sink us in debt with a similar project, one we don't even know the cost yet? Nalcor is a (convenient) PC baby last time I checked.
- Jay
- October 24, 2012 - 14:33
Eli, No, that's not what I'm ssaying at all, but isn't it just like you to put words in somebody's mouth, consistent with your earlier personal attacks. The PCs, and every government since Joey, has been trying to clean up the mess that was created. I'm not even sure I even support the project, but it never ceases to amaze me how quickly some of these lawyers will cut this province's throat to settle petty political scores or make a few bucks.By the way, so much for Roger Grimes saying that Quebec is irrelevant.
- Eli
- October 24, 2012 - 15:37
Jay..."The PC's and every other government since Joey......." ? You're absolutely right! and I for one don't want the people of Newfoundland to be paying thru the nose for this pipedream. Never was a Joey supporter but doesn't this deal sound like another one of those Joey "Develop or Perish" boondoogles? Chocolate factories, Rubber boots? It's not personal Jay, it's business.
- Jay
- October 25, 2012 - 06:17
Good For You. You can remember a line from the Godfather. With that in mind, please stop the personal attacks and stick to the issues.

John, as you are so interested in alternatives, but seem ignorant of the benefits of energy efficiency, this is my claculation; efficient heating saves 65 percent compared to standard heaters. Now i knew there was substancial ability for this to offset Holyrood use. Now I know this will give you lots of laughs. But here it is, and i put this out there to you first, as you are so concerned about your light bills and oil polution. For the domestic sector alone, if all residential units were converted to efficient heating, it would save twice the generation production of Holyrood for all of last year, 2011 , which Nalcor says was 855 GWH Need I say this again? Why not. TWICE the production of Holyrood for 2011 year. This must make you so happy. Tell me about it.

The sole customer for Upper Churchill power is Hydro Quebec until 2041. Of course there can be no agreement to do anything which alters HQ's electricity delivery. There may be benefits to co-operation with HQ in the operation of a downsttream hydro plant. There is no indication that any negotiations have taken place with HQ. There remains a tremendous challenge for Nalcor to prove that the proposed plant at Muskrat can be built and operated without a very significant subsidy required from the domestic non industrial ratepayers to provide electricity to mainland customers a rates much below the cost to produce the power. Its time NL looked at alternatives to this disastrous proposal to warehouse power to the mainland while domestic customers face the hardship of enormous rate increases in order to subsidize it.

This just goes to show how completely inept the 2041 group really is. They just want to continue to muddy the water with fabrication, lies and innuendo. That's all they have, they have no proof, no data, no facts. They have nothing. If he sees a viable alternative to muskrat why doesn't he present it? With the cost breakdowns, construction costs, cost over runs, and so on? That would be constructive. However they can't do that...because there are no viable alternatives to muskrat. Gill Bennett was on Back talk on VOCM yesterday and the host asked him if he had received any questions about water management from this group? Of course they had not. Who are we to belive? A St.John's lawyer, who has bad blood between himself and former premier Danny Williams...or the people at Nalcor? The thing is any one who truly understands the project knows that when muskrat is up and running it will be part of one large power and water management system. Nalcor will use Bay D'espoir, Cat arm, muskrat falls and the upper churchill to provide power to Quebec hydro(to meet our obligations there), to Labrador, to the island and to NS. The water will be stored and released at different times in different resevoirs, to meet seasonal demand, and other requirements.We can really see how desparate, and out of touch this group is...no facts...no data...no reviews...no experts...no alternatives....just made up junk....pathetic...truly, truly pathetic....
- I am also against Mr. Coffey causing possible problems with his stance on our own water resource
- October 24, 2012 - 09:32
I am against the Muskrat Falls Contract as it is proposed but I am also against Mr. Coffey for compounding the problems surrounding the Upper Churchill Contract. My reason for being against the Muskrat Falls proposed Contract is the unknown factor of how many Billions of dollars it is going to cost to produce just 800 mega watts of hydro energy when other sources of energy are touted to be available for much less cost and the hydro consumers who are mostly elderly having to bear the burden for 57 years . We are told it will be between $6 Billion and $10 Billion dollars, that is an astronomical amount of debt for so little energy.
- Watchdog
- October 24, 2012 - 08:52
I have to laugh at this part: "Coffey, one of a group of lawyers involved in 2041 Energy Inc., aimed at promoting alternatives to the Muskrat Falls hydroelectric development". If that's really your "aim", Mr. Coffey, what are you doing trying to spin the fine print on the Hydro-Quebec contract?

Hey Roy, I think you are on to something.....all of this with the 2041 crew just seems odd. While I never like to do the liberal thing and spread fear over something, just what are these 2041 jokers doing....??....And you may be right, their agenda seems to be to delay the project at any cost.......so please people, don't be fooled by fools.

- October 24, 2012 - 07:14
If Mr. Coffey and his experts are right then what kind of agreement did the Liberals sign, where their lawyers at the time this stupid. If he is right then the Liberals should go and hide. I believe he is putting up a smoke screen to delay the project . I don't agree with higher electricity cost but we as a province must move ahead. Is this sour grapes since he did;t get the liberal leadership or has he been in contact behind or backs with Hydro Quebec to set up a stumbling blcok/?

Credit Card Guide
As long as you are paying your bills every month, it can pay off to diversify your credit card portfolio, in order to really hack your rewards. I am averaging about 4% on everything I normally buy (groceries, gas, travel, etc.), due to clever rewards card hacking. This page is meant to be a guide to help you achieve similar results.
Look for Credit Cards by Category
- 0% APR Cards: don't want to pay interest for an introductory period? These cards have an introductory 0% APR.
- Balance Transfer Cards: looking to get away from a high interest card payments? These cards offer long 0% introductory APR periods so you can avoid 15-20%+ APR on your existing cards.
- Bonus Incentive Promotion Cards: cards with a significant bonus cash/rewards offer associated with signing up.
- Business Credit Cards: These are cards that are geared to those who charge a high volume on credit cards.
- Cash Back Cards: the best all-purpose cash back rewards cards.
- Gas Rewards Cards: have a heavy commute? 3-5% cash back is attainable.
- Grocery Rewards Cards: outside of mortgages/rent, groceries are the #1 monthly expense for Americans, and we all buy them. I get 6% cash back on mine ($360/year).
- Restaurant Rewards Cards: dine out a lot for travel or otherwise? These are the best restaurant rewards cards, with some paying up to 5%.
- Travel/Miles Rewards Cards: these cards are geared to travel die-hards & offer big hotel, airline, or other rewards.
In-Depth Credit Card Reviews:
I've previously reviewed a few of my favorite credit cards that can be a good fit for readers, if used properly:
- Blue Cash Preferred® Card from American Express: My card of choice as the best rewards card for supermarket purchases. It offers 6% cash back at US supermarkets, up to $6,000 per year in purchases, 3% cash back at US gas stations and select US department stores, and 1% cash back on other purchases. There is no cash back enrollment required, and the same great reward categories year-round. You can also get $150 back after you spend $1,000 on purchases on your new card in your first 3 months and you will receive $150 back in the form of a statement credit. My favorite card!
- Blue Cash Everyday® Card from American Express: Sister card to the above, it offers 3% cash back at US supermarkets, up to $6000 per year in purchases, 2% cash back at US gas stations and select US department stores, 1% cash back on other purchases. You also can get $100 back after you spend $1,000 on purchases on your new card in your first 3 months. You will receive $100 back in the form of a statement credit. Why are the cash back percentages less than the Preferred? No annual fee. It may be a better option for those who are single.
- Upromise World MasterCard® is the best rewards hacking card at the moment and best card for online shopping that I've seen. You can earn 10% or more cash back on eligible online purchases through Upromise.com, 4% cash back at thousands of participating Upromise dining restaurants, up to 3% cash back on eligible gas purchases at Exxon or Mobil locations, 2% cash back at eligible movie theater locations, 1% cash back on all other purchases, you start with a $50 cash back bonus after first purchase, there is no annual fee, and there is a 0% intro APR on purchases and balance transfers for 12 months. This card also allows for massive discounts on appliances purchased online at Best Buy (4%), Sears (5%, sometimes higher), Lowe's (5%), and other stores – no need for multiple store credit cards! This makes the Upromise card the best credit card for appliances, by far.
- TrueEarnings® Card from Costco & American Express: Earn 3% cash back at US gas stations and on gasoline at Costco up to $4,000 per year in purchases, then 1%. Also, 2% cash back at US restaurants; 2% cash back on eligible travel purchases, including at Costco; and 1% cash back on other purchases, including at Costco.

Centralized Counselling for M.Tech./ M.Plan (CCMT) is an admission process for providing a convenient platform for the students to apply for M.Tech./M.Plan programmes, based on their GATE score of year 2013 or 2014, in various NITs across the country and some Centrally Funded Technical Institutions such as ABV-IIITM Gwalior, IIITDM Jabalpur, National Institute of Foundry and Forge Technology Ranchi and Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering and Technology Longowal. This centralized system has replaced the older system, in which a student had to apply to various institutes and then visit these institutes individually to appear for interview/counselling. This system used to cause lot of difficulties to students such as multiple applications, travelling long distances to various institutes across the country for their respective admission process and missing some institutes due to common admission dates. Centralized counselling provided a system wherein the students can fill one online application from their homes and apply to all the programmes of all participating institutions to which they were eligible. Overall convenience of students has increased enormously due to centralized counselling and simplified their efforts tremendously.

Centralized Counselling for M.Tech. / M.Arch. / M.Plan. admissions (CCMT) 2014 is an on line admission process for National Institutes of Technologies (NITs) and several other Centrally funded institutes viz. IIITM Gwalior, PDPM IIITDM Jabalpur, SLIET Longowal, NIFFT Ranchi, SPA Vijayawada, IIIT Allahabad, and Central University of Rajasthan. These are the premier institutions of the country, under the aegis of Ministry of HRD, Government of India, for imparting world class technical education. As decided by the Core Committee, Counselling for centralized admission to postgraduate programs in all these institutes will be starting from 3rd week of April 2014. This Centralized Counselling for M.Tech./ M.Arch. / M.Plan. Admissions (CCMT) will coordinate admissions to PG degree programmes in engineering, technology and architecture in respect of above mentioned institutes (hereinafter called 'Participating Institutes').
Important features of the admission procedure, fee refund rules, admission schedule, list of Reporting Centers, list of Participating Institutes with total number of seats, fee structure and contact addresses, seat distribution and eligibility matrix in the institutes etc. are given in this brochure. Candidates are advised to read this brochure carefully and visit the website www.ccmt.in regularly for updates and for details regarding the entire online admission process.
The entire Counselling process consists of three stages:
1 Online registration, choice filling and locking of choices:
In this process, all candidates eligible for central counselling should register themselves by paying registration fee for counselling on the CCMT website during specified period given in the Schedule from the places convenient to them. During the registration process, candidate would need to pay the registration fee online using the payment gateway, credit/debit/netbanking facility or through echallan during specified period given in the Schedule. After registration fee payment, candidates will be able to exercise their programme choices across all Participating Institutes on CCMT website using Internet during specified period given in the Schedule. Candidates would also be able to take the assistance at the Help Centres in Participating institutes for registration and choice filling.
2 Online Seat Allotment, initial fee deposition and personal reporting to a Reporting Center:
Candidates will be offered seats based on their choices in order of merit (see Rules for Deciding Merit for details) over multiple rounds of allotment. Candidates who are allotted a seat (i.e. offered admission) will have to deposit part of the Institute fee using echallan and then personally report to any one of the 'Reporting Centers' or 'Allotted Institute' as per the schedule given in the brochure during the specified time frames, get the original documents verified, submit photocopy of documents and proof of the part of the Institute fee payment to mark their acceptance of the offer of seat and exercise "upgrade Options" (descried later), if opted. On satisfactory verification of all relevant documents and having paid requisite fee, candidate will be issued a Provisional Admission Letter.
3 Getting Admitted to 'Allotted Institute':
Candidates are required to be physically present at the Institute for which admission has been offered and accepted by the candidate (hereinafter called 'Allotted Institute') within the specified time frame and successfully complete the 'Institute Reporting' process. Candidate should present all the required documents in original, pay the remaining fee of the Institute and take formal admission as per the procedure of the admitting institute.
In case of any dispute arising out of the counselling process at any stage up to the final allocation of institution and / or programme, the decision of Chairman, CCMT-2014 shall be final. The jurisdiction for legal disputes, if any, will be limited to Jaipur City only.
Spot Round may be scheduled by Individual Participating institutes to fill the seats remaining vacant after CCMT counselling process is over. Registrations process for Spot Round would be notified and carried out by the respective Participating Institutes themselves.
For smooth and flawless admission procedure it is advised that candidates should carefully follow the admission procedure given in this brochure. The procedure offers enough flexibility at every round of allotment and candidates supposed to co-operate by not prolonging their final decision on admission after seat allotment. This will facilitate in catering to the needs of larger number of candidates seeking admission through CCMT.
- This counselling is not for Candidates seeking admission to Sponsored and Part Time seats. They should contact respective Participating Institutes for the admission.
- Spot Round is not the part of CCMT couselling process, it will be managed by the respective Institutes.

Justin Bieber Disses Miley and the Jonas Brothers, Pretends to Be Nice About It
Who knew that Justin Bieber could be so catty?
The 16-year-old My World heartthrob recently spoke to Popstar! Magazine and lashed out at Disney artists Miley Cyrus and The Jonas Brothers with a passive-aggressiveness well beyond his years. According to Bieber,
"I didn't brand myself. You know how people sign to Disney and Hollywood Records, they have them, basically, they're in a contract for so many years with Disney. They can't do anything [else]...I think it's harder. If I were to sign with Disney, people would say, 'He's a little cookie cutting,' whatever. The Jonas Brothers, I'm not saying anything bad about them. They're good, I like what they do and same with Miley, but all of their songs are about, like, 'Everything's perfect and everything's good.'"
And just to rub it in, Bieber compared Miley and the JoBros' efforts to his own, clearly superior work:
"On my album, there are songs about love and just having a good time, but there's stuff on my album that's about true life stuff like having my parents split up when I was really young. Just songs about real like that makes sense that teens can relate to. Not corny stuff."
So...you're not saying anything bad about Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers, aside from the fact that their music is corny and they're cookie-cutter products of a media empire? Way to claim the high ground while taking the low road, Biebs!
Nick Jonas may be the one gunning for a presidency, but it seems like Bieber is the one who has the politics thing down pat already.
For everything Bieber-related, make sure to crack open The Holy Bieble.

There's a lot of weird stuff in Skyrim. Cat people, dragons, magic spells, monsters. But even still, the sight of a dog talking in a broad New York accent took me by surprise.
Read part one and part two of our 100 Hours of Skyrim blog.
This is one of the game's Daedric quests, A Daedra's Best Friend, and sees you reuniting the dog, Barbas, with its owner, Clavicus Vile.
Vile is a Daedric Prince who makes misleading pacts with mortals for his own amusement. In my case, he says he'll give me a magic axe I just recovered if I do him a favour and murder his dog with it.
I look at the dog. He's wagging his tail and looking at me with bright, friendly eyes.
I bring the axe down on his head. Turns out the axe is pretty weak. It only does 31 damage. I take it back to Whiterun and sell it to Eorlund at the Skyforge for 600 gold. Sorry, Barbas.
Proving myself
Moving swiftly on, my character, Andras, is now decked out in a weird assortment of armour - bits and pieces I've picked up along the way. My Dwemer helm from the last blog is still the best I've found, but I've combined it with some samurai-style Blades armour and steel gauntlets.
I look ridiculous, but that's one of Skyrim's 'first world problems' - "This new helm I've found looks terrible, but it has a higher armour rating than my old one. FML."
I decide to get involved in Skyrim's civil war. Being a Nord, I side with the Stormcloaks. They're fighting for their homeland against the invading Imperials, and I'm totally on their side.
I'd rather be a rugged, battle-scarred warrior than some chump in fancy, decorative armour. Plus, the Imperials are pompous jerks. Skyrim belongs to the Nords!
My initiation requires me to travel to the Serpent Stone far north of Windhelm and slay an ice wraith. It's a hell of a trek. This area of Skyrim is essentially Antarctica. The snow is thick, there are icebergs everywhere, and miles of freezing cold water to traverse.
I make my horse do it, of course. I'm riding Shadowmere, a reward from a Dark Brotherhood quest. Oblivion fans will remember him (or her?) As I move painfully slowly across the water, I stumble upon a useful glitch.
If you're in the middle of the water on horseback, dismount, then immediately mount again. Your speed should go back to normal as if you were on land.
As I approach the Serpent Stone, I'm worried about what an ice wraith actually IS. I haven't fought one yet. Is it a mighty troll? A magical beast? When I get there, I realise it's neither. It's a weird, flying snake thing that I kill with a few lazy swings of my axe.
Ulfrich Stormcloak, the leader of the rebels, is impressed, as is his general, Galmar Stone-Fist. If that's all it takes to impress these guys, then life in the Stormcloak army is going to be pretty easy.
Talking to Galmar is distracting, because he's voiced by Paul Eiding, better known as the voice of Colonel Campbell in the Metal Gear series. I keep expecting him to suddenly blurt out "I need scissors! 61!"
Playing detective
But back to my adventure. The civil war can wait.
I travel to Markarth, the old Dwemer city to the far west of Skyrim. The moment I step through the gates, someone is murdered on the street in front of me. It's like going to Newcastle for the first time.
There are problems in Markarth. A tribe called the Forsworn, who were the original inhabitants of the Reach before the Nords took over, are trying to bring the city down from the inside.

Mazda 3 vs. Honda Civic Si
creakid1 Posts: 2,032Test drive an ST, then see if its ride/handling/steering compromise is 2nd to none. & since the adoption of the Mazda-developed 2.3 back in late '03, the Focus' reliability rating "sky rocketed", per CR. For '05, 100% of Focus I are equipped w/ Mazda-developed engines.
creakid1 "Ford Focus vs. Mazda3" Nov 22, 2004 2:45am -
billmchale Posts: 107I suspect that real reason that Mazdaspeed decided to focus on the sedan version of the 6 is the same reason we sat for almost 2 years having only the sedan version of the 6; Most automakers don't think that midsized and premium hatchbacks will be competitive in the USA. Heck there is even something to it; VW sells Jettas in high multiples over the Golf, even though the latter is cheaper and has more utility (and at least as good a driving experience).
Even if the structural issues were the reason, they are a less compelling reason on the Focus; the squared off end makes than hatches that try to emulate coupe or sedan lines. -
muffin_man Posts: 865I've driven the ST, and while it is a very nice car, it is too "every day sedan" to really replace the SVT.
As Carlisimo mentioned, there are a lot of very solid competitors in this price range (give or take): the Lancer Ralliart, the Sentra Spec-V, the Neon SRT-4, the Corolla XRS, and the Impreza are all preferable sporty sedans -and I'll add the Mazda 3s, Cobalt and Ion Redline.
I'm not sure that the ST would rank too highly in that group, but it sounds like an interesting comparison test. Edmunds? -
creakid1 Posts: 2,032Since I never drove the SVT. Can you tell me more about the 2 different steerings -- ST vs SVT? I've heard the SVT's ratio is very quick, maybe too quick for high speed. 'cause my ST steering's already pretty quick, but lacks road feel at parking-lot speed(no big deal). & I heard the SVT's steering feel is Miata-like. Is that true?
I really thought the main reason the ST isn't as hardcore as the SVT is the 16" tires, but rides much more comfortably due to longer springs &, of course, the 16"s.
If I live w/ a Mazda 3S, I'd pick the 16"s. I'm not an "Evo" driver, but a Rabbit GTI driver that likes raw steering/handling w/ playful controllable oversteer drift but still rides comfortably in a stable way. I don't really need the max acceleration or max corning g-force. -
muffin_man Posts: 865The steering wasn't just quick on the SVT, it was very, very precise, and steering feel was excellent. The ST handles very well, but response is not quite as immediate. Hard to say how much of this is a result of the springs and tires.
I don't know if I can compare the SVT steering feel to the Miata, because the cars are so different.
From the sound of your GTI, I would think the ST and the SVT would both feel like boats to you! -
creakid1 Posts: 2,032My restored "Rabbit GTI" is actually modified w/ softer springs. It is a German-built Jetta coupe Wolfsburg w/ Recaro-style front seats & no front sway bar. I simply put the GTI sway bars in it, front & back, & added Gabriel gas shocks. Plus the front upper & lower bracing. The car was transformed from a low-limit high-swaying neutral/oversteerer into a higher-limit low-swaying mild-understeerer but safe 4-wheel drifting w/ easy-to-correct occasional oversteer due to no weight behind the rear axle(the spare tire is located far forward).
See my profile:
This is my type of preference -- keep the Focus SVT suspension but w/o the lowered firmer-riding springs. That's why I jumped into buying this ST.
CR found the regular Lancer poor in ride/handling/steering compromise. So I assume by the time they modify the car into more handling bias & even improved steering, such as the Ralliart, the ride will suck. As we can see, even the STi version of the Impreza WRX still rides less punishing than the Lancer Evo, per CR. -

Hi, Need some help,my sister gave this to me.Her neighbor gave it to her so she gave me a rooted cutting.Looks like some fourm of wandering Jew.She said her Neighbor leaves it out all winter and it comes back i live in zone 7b. and i have it in full sun seems to be ok woud like someone else advice.the picture isn't to clear but hopefully some one can idenify. Thanks in advance Tom
Follow-Up Postings:
Setcreasia... You are correct that it is related to the wandering jew... It is sometimes called "Purple heart". I cannot speak to the hardiness in your zone, but it is very easy to care for. Perhaps if you look in the hortiplex forum, you can find the info... HTH |
I grew this in Kentucky, Zone 6, as a kid. It came back for several years. I'm not sure it would take a hard Zone 6 winter but it is easy to root cuttings and keep starts indoors over winter. |
Oh, yes....it will do just dandy in your area. Ummmm, some of us try to get rid of it, after awhile....so keep that in mind. |
i like to call it "spawn of satan" if you plant it in zone 7, you'd better love it! cause it will never ever ever ever ever leave. |

See that ghostly object above? That's the pot holder when it's not in use. It's made of soft, heat-resistant silicone, so when you place a hot pot on its heat, it'll flatten out and protect surfaces just like a normal pot holder would. And when it's not in use, its default shape should save you counter space. Right now it's simply a concept, but hopefully that'll change soon. I'd love if it was called Casper the Friendly Pot Holder, but I assume the name "Gasper" is a clever nod designed to avoid a lawsuit.

The Importance of Breastfeeding Premature Babies
Premature babies, often called preemies, arrive earlier than the expected 38-42 weeks gestation. Because a premature baby's organs are often not fully developed, they are at risk for health complications, such as breathing problems, infection, anemia, and low blood sugar. Depending on which complications arise, a premature baby's nutrition may initially take a backseat to the larger issues. Breast milk, though, has been shown to play a crucial role in improving the health of premature infants.
Some premature babies won't be able to breastfeed initially because they are not strong enough and their sucking-swallowing coordination is not yet developed. Also, because the gastrointestinal tract of many premature babies is often not yet fully developed, they must be fed very slowly and carefully, usually through a tube that is placed through the mouthor nose directly into the stomach. But that doesn't mean that these babies shouldn't receive breast milk. In fact, breast milk contains many important antibodies that help fight disease and prevent infection, a benefit crucial to vulnerable preemies.
Another benefit of breast milk is that it plays an important role in preventing problems specific to preemies. An important area of study has been the protective effects of breast milk against necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a serious intestinal infection. One study showed that infants who received formula were more likely to develop NEC than infants fed breast milk. Some studies have suggested that premature infants fed their mother's breast milk were less likely to develop any kind of infection.
While mothers of premature babies naturally produce milk tailored to the needs of their small offspring, preemie breast milk may also be fortified with supplements called "human milk fortifiers" to provide additional needed calcium, vitamins, and protein. Clinical evidence has shown that preemies who received fortified breast milk experienced improved growth and a better nutritional status.

Dear Friends and Colleagues, It is with immense pleasure that we announce the 9th International Symposium of Ophthalmology (ISO) will be held in Guangzhou, China, on November 9 – 11, 2013. Hosted by the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center (ZOC) and the State Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology (SKLO) of the Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU), the 9th ISO will be held in conjunction with the 30th anniversary of the ZOC. It is anticipated that the meeting will bring together over 2,000 delegates from more than 50 countries with over 400 top-notch speakers from all over the world. The 9th ISO is pleased that it is supported by many international, regional and national organizations which are leading experts in the field of ophthalmology and visual sciences including the Academia Ophthalmologica Internationalis, the International Ocular Inflammation Society, the International Society of Ocular Oncology, International Society of Ophthalmic Pathology, the International Society of Geographical and Epidemiology Ophthalmology, the American Society of Cataract & Refractive Surgery, the Asia-Pacific Vitreo-retina Society, the New Zealand National Eye Centre, to name but a few. Together, we are confident that the 9th ISO will feature a comprehensive scientific program with symposium sessions covering a broad spectrum of topics in ophthalmology. What's more, we are thrilled to share with you that the 9th ISO will feature a Plenary Lecture by Nobel Laureate, Prof Andrew V. Schally. His research into peptide hormone production in the brain won him the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1977 and his research focus in recent years is to apply his peptides in curing ocular diseases. We are hopeful that the 9th ISO will provide an excellent occasion for its attendees to have fruitful scientific exchange, as well as to build new friendships and look for collaborative opportunities. Guangzhou is an ancient but dynamic city. It impressed the world with the successful 2010 Asian Games. It has seen rapid developments in the past few decades and is a world-renowned city for international trade and commerce. Delegates of the 9th ISO will surely be amazed by the historical and cultural atmosphere in the city and the 2,200-year-old history behind its development. We cordially invite you to join us at the 9th ISO and to explore the Guangzhou city during the Congress. With warmest personal regards,

I'm not gonna lie. After six days on ANTM Island, I've finally managed to overcome my phobia of the being seen on the beach. No, I'm not scared of the water. I'm just not comfortable being half naked looking out of shape in front of people. Why do you think I dress like a Christmas tree and cover myself in a shitload of clothes and accessories? Duh. Anyway, I've had enough being anti-social by pretending I'm working on my laptop when in reality I really wanna join everyone on the sea. So screw it. I took my clothes off and wore my Marc by Marc Jacobs swimming trunks. Game on, bitches! It's been years since I last enjoyed doing normal people things on the shore like you know, playing with sand, dog-paddling or just lying down on the beach to soak some sun. I love it. Love love love love love! I'm gonna take more beach holidays from now on.

Are you an adventurous eater? I am. There's more to life than having a ceasar salad or a club
sandwich. I'm not talking about devouring insects or exotic genitalia but hey, no judgment if you're into that. What I mean is that I'm someone who likes to try things I've never had before. Me and my siblings were raised by my parents to try things at least once. On a side note, read this NY Times article.
I have my limits, of course: you won't see me eat insects, domestic animals and yes, genitalia though I once had sheep testicles in Iceland many years ago. Depending on my mood, I'll try it. Ostrich meat? Had it in London. Rabbit? Had it in New York. Frogs, snails, duck fetus (balut)? Done, done and done.
Instead of saying "no" when Alexey asked if I've tried Caucasian food before, I played devil's advocate and channeled the Debbie Dumber in me. "Caucasian food? What's that? White people food?" was my reply.
So after a disappointing and fruitless trip to a Russian flea market (I was hoping to see kitschy Soviet-era things and Russian antiques but I was greeted with Made-in-USA/Made-in-China second-hand cast-offs), we went to Mamaliga for lunch.

From the nominations received, up to five candidates will be selected and inducted into the Hall of Honor at the end of the month, the school said.
"We hope that everyone will take a few minutes to consider a person they know and believe is deserving of this important tribute," said Jim White,a biology professor and chair of the Hall of Honor committee.
The 2013 award was given posthumously to Howard Luckey, who joined the faculty at PSC in 1968 and taught in the social sciences department until 1988. After retiring, he continued teaching at the college as an adjunct professor.
The 2011-12 recipient was Don Uram, who was a counselor during his tenure at PSC.
The late Dale Haywood, former mathematics professor; Glenn Stehr, former biology professor; and Jim Troutman, former vice president, were named to the inaugural class of the Hall of Honor in 2010.

A few writers have suggested that the issue of gay marriage be left to the states, claiming that the U.S. Constitution gives the federal government no authority to intervene. Unfortunately they seem to have missed Article 4 Section 2: "The citizens of each state shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states."
That seems to say that if you are gay and legally married in one state, all the other states have to recognize the marriage. But I'm not an expert on constitutional law.

If I ran out of this would I buy this again? Hell NO! And I wish I would've never bought it in the first place!
I love Nars. I hate this cream. Mostly because it is so expensive and does absolutely nothing for your skin. To get the same effect, try adding glitter to the thickest hand lotion you can find and lather it on your face.
More reviews by Brooklynzigzag
Got a sample of this when I bought some nars makeup and wow I love it, been trying it for two days moring and night and so far no breakouts, my skin is usually pretty oily but I think it was super dehyrated because this cream felt thick for the first two times I used it but then my skin changed. It went from having to be blotted during the day two to three times to not needing blotted at all. I also wake up with soft lookig almost airbrushed skin, no fine lines (I'm 26 I have a couple) I always thought I had combo oily skin but I think I was overproducing oil beciase I was dry! This cream is changing my skin for the better and it's only been a few days! Heading back to buy it, but ouch 72 bucks in Canada !!!!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this moisturiser. I have very oily skin, and during the winter in Chicago, it becomes dehydrated because everywhere is SO dry! I use it thick at night, and a thinner later for day, followed by Bobbi Brown's Extra Soothing balm, and that is enough to keep my oil glands from going into overdrive trying to protect my face from moisture loss. I go through about a jar a month. It's the only product that I can wear thick at night without problems.
To the people who claimed this product have them cystic acne and said they went to the dermatologist: your dermatologist undoubtedly informed you that cystic acne comes from the inside out, it is unrelated to what you put on your face. It is always related to your diet (lack of eating properly) and to genetic predisposition to overabundance of acne bacteria in the skin. Cystic acne is at the dermal layer, and almost no external products can penetrate that deeply.
To the person who complained about the amount of product: it says "50mL" right on the package and the jar...so...you kind of embarrassed yourself admitting you don't read the labels before you buy products.
I love this product. I have very dry skin and a very small amount of this moisturizes my skin so well. I used to use a $200 chanel moisturizer for extreme dry skin and I would have to apply and then re-apply 5 minutes later after the first bit absorbed. That is NOT the case with this cream. A dime sized amount works for my entire face making this $62 jar pretty reasonable.
I use the NARS optimal brightening concentrate underneath which is very moisturizing as well. This is probably part of why I don't have to use very much of the cream.
I have extremely dry and sensitive skin so I am happy to find a skin care regime that keeps my skin feeling very moisturized and soft without irritation. I am also happy about the price of this. 62 for the lotion and 72 for the serum makes $134 every 3 months for moisturizer and thats a pretty good deal for me considering what I have spent in the past. Maybe I will actually put this on my neck like you are supposed to... ;)
EDIT: I took 3 lippies off because this cream made me break out SO BADLY and this happens almost NEVER. I have had a HUGE zit in the middle of my forehead for 2 weeks. its cystic and huge and painful. I also have little zits all over the rest of my face that come and go. I have to go see a dermatologist about acne for the first time IN MY LIFE and I am 33.I was in denial that this cream was doing it to me which is why it took me until a few days ago to stop using it. I completely switched back to Estee Lauder products and the acne has gone down noticeably each day.
Also, can we talk about how little product is in that jar? I thought I was getting a deal. HA!
This cream felt great on my face, but was too heavy for my combo, sensitive, and somewhat acne-prone skin. It didn't cause redness or itchiness; it was simply too much. I broke out from it despite the NARS sales lady's assurance that I would not due to the good-for-you Omega-3s and what not. She also refused to give me a sample before purchase, even though I purchase NARS products throughout the year. It's a hassle to return products. I also wish NARS made a lighter cream to supplement it's wonderful gel moisturizer.
The only HG moisturizer I have found. I usually use pure jojoba oil but needed more moisture, I got a sample of this and feel in love, even great on my super oily skin. Make my tinted moistrizer look amazing.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I got a deluxe sample of this moisturizer from the NARS SA at Nordstrom when I was purchasing their new tinted moisturizer. She assured me the new NARS skin care was the best of the best.
This product broke me out somethin' fierce! It gave me a cyst under the skin on my left cheek (which I just called my dermatologist to make an appointment for a cortisone shot to get rid of) and two other huge pimples on my right cheek/chin, AND breakouts on my forehead! I don't normally break out other than around TOTM since I've gotten my skin under control by using Peter Thomas Roth Max Complexion Correction Pads, but even those couldn't stave off the pimples from this moisturizer! The product claims to be noncomedogenic, but upon looking up the ingredients online, I found this cream contains monoi oil. I am guessing this is the culprit since I can not use anything with oil on my face.
I really do love NARS. I have several blushes, bronzer, foundation, eyeshadows, and now the tinted moisturizer. But this product was a HUGE miss for me. I haven't broken out this bad since I used the dreaded Bare Minerals foundation.

Union About Illini Union's Mission
The Illini Union is located at 1401 W. Green St.
Sun - Thu | 7am - 12amFri - Sat | 8am - 1am
At the Illini Union, our doors are open to the entire campus community. Everyone has an equal share whether you're a student, faculty, staff or alumni. The Union is the social center of the University, providing a place where members of these groups can come together and explore ideas and ambitions.
Students socializing
The Illini Union draws together all members of the University of Illinois community. It is the shared possession of students, faculty, staff, alumni, and guests. While each of these groups is important, it is the students who are at the heart of what the Illini Union is all about. Every student is welcome here and every student has an equal share. By providing the opportunity for each student to come into contact with others, we promote an understanding and appreciation of the diversity of the University of Illinois and of the world at large. We fulfill this mission through our numerous programs and services. Students who create programs and activities on behalf of the Illini Union Board complement their education with experience in group process, ethics, leadership, volunteerism and social responsibility. Students who attend these programs and participate in these activities also enrich their education with the learning, growth, and entertainment such events offer. Our services and business operations meet the educational, social and recreational needs of the university community. As needs change, so too must the services. And if we are to truly attain our potential, we must develop our own staff just as we nurture the university as a whole. By encouraging personal and intellectual growth, by supporting divergent thought and free expression, by celebrating the individual, and by providing an environment that fosters integrity and respect, the Illini Union exists as more than a building. It is, as stated by the University President A.C. Willard in 1941 at the Illini Union's dedication, "a symbol of the democratic spirit of the University of Illinois.

In January this year Brian Farrell celebrated 10 years in charge of THQ. His tenure has seen the company transformed from a cast-iron loss maker into one with a mercurial ability to follow the twisting grooves of popular culture.
When he was appointed president and CEO, the company was in a world of trouble; posting massive losses and struggling to come to terms with the post-16-bit meltdown.
Within three years Farrell had doubled its value and asserted the brand as a major player in the PlayStation charts. He has continued to manage growth through each technology change. Within the life of the current generation, THQ's annual sales have grown from the low $500 millions to the mid $700 millions, with last year's profits breaking through $60 million.
THQ's strength is in converting great licenses into hits. Its biggest games of 2004 were The Incredibles, Spongebob Squarepants, WWE Smackdown Vs. Raw, and Finding Nemo, all of which sold between one and four million copies. Its own best performing properties were Tak 2 and Full Spectrum Warrior, neither of which quite hit the million mark in their launch year, and both of which drew largely unspectacular reviews.
In its most recent quarter, THQ's results were amazing. With mass-market penetration of the current generation, and a saddle-full of juicy licenses, it all came down to delivering decent licensed games in a timely fashion. Nobody is going to accuse THQ of releasing exceptional genre-cracking games, but neither its audience, its retailers, nor its shareholders are complaining. THQ gets the job done without too much in the way of fuss or flannel.
Valuable characters
Farrell has shown a level ability to persuade partners like WWE, Pixar, Marvel, and Nickelodeon that THQ is the right way forward. These companies are not merely seeking to monetize their brands through the barely understood medium of games; they understand that games are a major emotional connection between their most valuable characters and their most precious consumers. Trust is everything.
It's not that THQ can't turn a decent original game. Much is expected from GSC's Stalker, and Relic's Warhammer 40,000 series is well regarded (albeit, itself a license); in racing Moto GP (oops, another one!) leads its market while street speeder Juiced (picked up from Acclaim) has fared reasonably well. Titles like The Outfit represent further attempts to diversify.
With 10 studios to call upon, and with smoother platform transitions predicted plus the emergence of mobile, Farrell's strategy looks safe, although as consolidation sets into the industry, those golden licenses might become harder to find.
The firm's interest in mobile, through its subsidiary THQ Wireless, is arguably the most advanced in the industry, with revenues this year predicted at $20 million. Mobile game players are likely to be THQ's, and Farrell's, kinds of people.

Accessories and Documentation
Part of the hardware we have here are the top mounting screws at the top of the image. The next row offers the AMD and LGA2011 mounting standoffs. The bottom row then offers eight long fan screws, eight washers for those screws, and the Intel mounting standoffs for all other sockets.
They also send an Intel back plate that uses very tall (keep this in mind) inserts that go through adjustable plastic bits, which allows this to adjust to all socket sizes Intel provides us with (sans LGA2011). As for AMD users, you send the mounting standoffs into the factory back plate.
To finish up on the hardware, they also include the AMD top ring, so that those users can swap out the ring. You are also given a fan extension cable with two male ends, to power both of the provided fans from a single fan header on the motherboard.
Speaking of the fans, here is our grey bladed duo of AF120L fans. Both are 4-pin powered with PWM ability, and will deliver 54CFM of airflow, show a rating of 2.8mmH2O of static pressure, and are rated at 31.4dBA.
We caught a peek of the installation guide when the packaging was first opened, but inside of it is the warranties insert. This covers what the H75 is protected against in the five-year duration that it is covered.
Since I am going to cover the Intel mounting with the next section, I thought it best to show the AMD side of things. The first bit of preparations made is to remove the four factory socket bracket retention mechanism screws, and replace them with the correct set of AMD standoffs.
There is also a section on how to replace the metal Intel ring for the AMD one. Locate the tabs of the black plastic ring and release them. This allows you to turn and remove the Intel ring, and then reverse the steps with the AMD ring, to take care of the head unit mounting.

Breakout text.

Updated: June 2, 2014 12:06PM
With thousands of years of history, the culture and arts of China are rich and fascinating.
"Envisioning China" is a festival of art, music, film, presentations and performances based on Chinese culture. The festival continues into June and is focused at the University of Chicago, with links to other upcoming events around the city.
On Saturday, the Smart Museum of Art at the University of Chicago will host "About Face," a free family program. This event focuses on masks and face painting in the tradition of Chinese opera, in conjunction with the museum's current exhibit, "Performing Images," on display through June 15.
The exhibit examines how characters and stories have been represented in Chinese opera and beyond, and includes more than 70 works of art and artifacts, some dating back 700 years, including scrolls, paintings of stage makeup, costumes, instruments, photographs and decorative items with opera-related images.
"With the family program we hope to pull children of all ages, adults and even grandparents in to view the art of the exhibit," museum associate programs manager Erik Peterson said. "And then, since most of us don't have personal experience with the context of Chinese opera, we want to give viewers a toehold into the concept through storytelling, art activities and in-depth tours on Family Day."
Peterson also is the creator of an illustrated children's book, "The White Snake," based on a popular Chinese folktale that dates back about a thousand years. The tale has been the subject of Chinese opera and is depicted through several objects on display in the exhibit as well as a video clip of an opera performance.
"But the exhibit doesn't tell the entire story, and we thought that might be interesting for families to have and take home," Peterson said. " 'White Snake' has characters who morph and change, and adventure, love, star-crossed lovers, friendship and loyalty."
Free copies of the book are available to families visiting the "Performing Images" exhibit at the museum.
"This will specifically connect with our next Family Day (June 7). We'll tell 'The White Snake' story out loud and have families make puppets to take home," Peterson said.
Family Day at the museum is from 1 to 4 p.m. the first Saturday of each month, and consists of free drop-in programs designed for a range of ages of children accompanied by an adult.
There are also a number of other upcoming programs related to "Envisioning China" and Chinese culture.
The Goodman Theater will have performances of "The White Snake" from Saturday through June 8. Ticket prices range from $17.50 to $86, with limited $10 same-day student tickets when available. For tickets, visit www.goodmantheatre.org.
At 3 p.m. May 18, "Earth and Wood," the second of four in the Five Elements Project concert series, will be performed at the Preston Bradley Hall at the Chicago Cultural Center, 78 E. Washington. This free program is presented by the Chinese Fine Arts Society, which promotes the rich spectrum of Chinese culture and arts.
The program will feature music by Chinese composers inspired by earth and wood, and performed on both Western instruments and traditional Chinese instruments.
One of those Chinese instruments, the pipa, a four-stringed instrument sometimes called the Chinese lute, will be featured in a free concert at the Smart Museum of Art at 2 p.m. June 1. The performer will be one of China's best pipa players, Lan Weiwei. A brief gallery talk about a beautiful pipa on display in the "Performing Images" exhibit will precede the performance.
A free, curator-led tour of the "Performing Images" exhibit will be offered at noon June 7.
For more information on these and on films, lectures and other "Envisioning China" events, visit arts.uchicago.edu/envisioning-china.

Compliance courses continue to dominate our quarterly trends
posted by Learning Seat | 8th June, 2011 | Category : Tips & Resources
Topping the chart with a whopping 10,903 enrolments, newcomer Introduction to The Learning Centre was the only non-compliance course in our top 10 most enrolled courses over the last quarter.
Compliance courses continued to set the trends in our exhaustive library of courses, strengthening our expertise yet again in this space and reinforcing Australian organisations' hunger to comply with some of the most pressing issues that we face on a daily basis.
In the last quarter alone, we received over 14,000 enrolments for Equal Employment Opportunity (2011), Bullying Prevention (2011) and Sexual Harassment Prevention (2011) courses.
Furthermore, OHS issues still reign supreme in the minds of most organisations, with four out of ten courses holding their weight in the list. Over 8,000 enrolments were recorded for the following four OHS courses: OHS Manual Handling (V2), OHS in the Office (2011), OHS for Australian Industry and OHS Emergency Management.
Sexual harassment prevention continues to be a hot topic. The need to raise awareness and help combat and reduce sexual harassment in the workplace is still prevalent across most organisations.
In April this year, we were once again reminded that while top-notch businesses have sophisticated, sleek policies and procedures in place, the implementation strategy is just as vital.
Essentially, this should be the case for all compliance issues faced by any organisation. This need is further evidenced by the continued dominance of enrolments for compliance courses each quarter.
The 10 most popular courses based on enrolments in the Learning Seat library are:
- Introduction to The Learning Centre
- Equal Employment Opportunity (2011)
- Bullying Prevention (2011)
- Sexual Harassment Prevention (2011)
- OHS Manual Handling (V2)
- Privacy (2011)
- OHS in the Office (2011)
- Competition and Consumer Law (2011)
- OHS for Australian Industry
- OHS Emergency Management
Did you know?
Learning Seat's Compliance Series, written in alliance with and proudly supported by Clayton Utz, provides up-to-date legislative training reflective of modern day issues.
