2012 BMW Concept M5
There was a private showing of the 2012 BMW Concept M5 to a select few journalist held in Munich, Germany. The event featured a tour of the hidden garage at the BMW M facility in Garching along with unveiling of other concept cars like the E46 M3 touring, M8 and a lightweight M3 sedan. But the main event was for the F10 M5 car underneath the cover.
I was mysteriously chosen to be one of the first people to see photos from the event outside of the invited attendants. Due to the embargo, I cannot post the photos that I received.
But someone from Transmissia.net, a Russian website, went ahead and posted photos of the BMW Concept M5.
These were not the same set of photos I received so it was a bit interesting to see the car from different angles. I was told that Technical specifications will not be made available until official release.
It was interesting that the F10 M5 rendering I did back in November 2009 for LLN – even before the F10 5 series was revealed, came very close.
I'm still holding off posting the photos I've received until I get the green light from whoever sent me them but I'm sure someone else will post them soon before the official embargo which gets lifted April 7th.
Full credit goes to transmissia.net for the leaked photos.

I made the chicken & paired it with rice and carrots. DELICIOUS. I swapped lemon for lime, decreased the garlic, and used extra broth.

The owner of the Japan's tsunami-damaged nuclear power plant announced Wednesday it will pay an estimated $1 billion in compensation to nearby residents. Thousands of people who lived around the Fukishima Dai-ichi plant were forced to evacuate their homes after the March 11 earthquake and subsequent tsunami. Tokyo Electric Power Company will distribute the money to the roughly 150,000 residents, who don't know yet when they'll be allowed to return to their homes.
Wednesday's estimate is in addition to 50 billion yen paid in preliminary compensation to 50,000 households in late May, the Associated Press reported. Last week, Japan's cabinet approved a bill to help TEPCO meet the massive compensatory costs.

Watch a Promo for the Upcoming Oprah/Lindsay Lohan Interview
If The Canyons wasn't real enough for you, here's a quick and scandalous preview of Lindsay Lohan's upcoming Oprah's Next Chapter sit-down. "Are you an addict?" Oprah asks Lindsay, as the camera flashes to Lilo in a prison-orange dress. "What does it feel like to be both an adjective and a verb for child-star-gone-wrong?" If that question's too confusing for you to parse, imagine how Lohan feels. The full interview will air August 18th on OWN, and hundreds of blog posts will recap each salacious line the following morning.

WASHINGTON, December 6, 2013 — The Washington D.C. police have opened an investigation into one of their own officers due to allegations he may be running a prostitution ring.
According to documents filed in federal court, a 16-year-old girl who had been listed as a missing child told police that an officer bought her sexy clothing and had arranged for her to go out on a date with an older man for $80. The girl also reported that six other girls were "working" out of the officer's home.
The officer has yet to be named.
Officers went to the unnamed officer's home on Wednesday as part of the investigation into the missing teen. The investigators found the 16-year-old as well as an 18-year-old female. They also found marijuana and a white container and a black bag full of condoms.
Just four days ago, Washington D.C. police officer Marc Washington was arrested on production of child pornography charges for taking nude pictures of a 15-year-old runaway.
It was reported that a mother called police to report her teenage daughter as a runaway. Washington took the report. After the girl returned home, the mother called the station again to report that her daughter had returned home and to have her taken off the missing persons list.
Twelve hours later, Washington arrived at the girl's home and asked to speak to the girl privately in her bedroom as part of the investigation.
Washington took nude pictures of the girl, telling her that it was necessary for identification purposes. Shortly after the officer left, the girl told her mother what had happened and the mother called 911.
Police are investigating to determine if the two cases are related.

Takin' it off the streets: Denver's new median measure was inspired by suggestions from policeman Larry Carr, a community resource officer in District 3 who sees the presence on traffic islands of salesmen, political boosters or people looking for spare change as inherently dangerous. A panhandler was hit on a city median on March 17, he told the press in late April, around the time that the proposed bill was approved by Denver's safety and personnel committee.
Carr's way of thinking struck a chord with city councilwoman Elbra Wedgeworth, who authored the final plan, and several of her colleagues, including Polly Flobeck, who represents District 5 on the council. "To me, it's all about safety," Flobeck says. "When people are on the medians, it can either distress drivers or make them mad, so that they lose concentration. That can jumble traffic and cause accidents."
This logic was persuasive. Despite opposition from the likes of John Parvensky, president of the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, the full council unanimously approved the median ordinance on May 14, after which Mayor Wellington Webb signed it into law with little fanfare and even less spillage of ink at the city's papers. Both Denver dailies offered up modest articles about the suggested ban after the safety and personnel committee's okay in April, but the News didn't bother to report its passage just over two weeks later, and the Post tacked two lines about it to the very bottom of an Arthur Kane article that otherwise reported a delay in a vote to license valet-parking outfits.
What's any of this got to do with the JOA? In November 1999, District 10 councilman Ed Thomas introduced virtually the same median bill as the one that skated through in May, and he advertised it using the same safety claims voiced by Flobeck. Likewise, the proposition was criticized by Parvensky and other advocates for the homeless, who saw it as an unnecessary regulation that would strip many poor people of their meager livelihood -- the same argument the council dismissed last month. But instead of being embraced, the 1999 proposal never got out of committee. Thomas has a pretty good idea why. "The newspapers came out against mine," he says.
They had a good reason: Among other things, the bill would have largely snuffed out the street-hawker programs then being operated by the News and the Post as part of their duel-to-the-death circulation battle. The dailies provided newspapers free of charge to anyone willing to sell them at intersections and medians -- not surprisingly, most participants were homeless -- and allowed these people to keep whatever money they collected. In exchange, the dailies were able to add the papers to their circulation figures. To Dianna Kunz, president of Colorado's Volunteers of America branch, the arrangement benefited everyone. "The newspapers won because they were providing people with a convenient way to get their paper, and the homeless won because they were afforded the opportunity to make some money and help themselves."
Predictably, the dailies' articles about the Thomas bill contained comments from newspaper officials, who made their feelings abundantly clear. In the News's piece, published November 10, 1999, Linda Sease, the paper's vice president of marketing, said, "I don't think we should limit people's ability to improve their life just because it makes us uncomfortable...Are we going to ban selling newspapers at grocery stores because it clogs up the entrances? Are we going to not allow trucks to stop at boxes because they might pose a traffic problem? You can't restrict every risk in life."
The Post's take on the topic, published the previous day, listed several more pragmatic reasons why the newspapers didn't like Thomas's suggestion. Staff writer Susan Greene wrote, "The Denver Post and the Denver Rocky Mountain News employ hundreds of street hawkers, many of whom are transients, as foot soldiers in the city's fierce newspaper war. Although hawker sales aren't the mainstay of either papers' circulation, they're key in marketing strategies -- teasing motorists with headlines and luring nonsubscribers to easily pick up editions while idling at red lights." Greene quoted Post vice president of circulation Judd Alvord, who said a hawking ban "would hurt both papers' circulation efforts and numbers" and added that the Post would consider fighting the ordinance on behalf of free-speech principles. "There are protections afforded to newspapers under the First Amendment," he said.
Given such a blatant challenge from a well-heeled adversary, it's hardly surprising that the council committee displayed zero enthusiasm for the Thomas scheme. A byline-free postmortem offered by the News on November 11 stated that "other council members said they hesitated to infringe on homeless people's rights to earn a living" -- a fear that apparently troubles them no longer.

Thanks for all the comments on last week's "truth and evidences" post! I really enjoy and appreciate your feedback, thoughts and responses. :)
So, last week we talked about how truth itself is not a matter of faith, but rather our faith should be based on what we learn to be the truth. This week I want to pose these two questions to consider:
Does absolute truth even exist? Aren't we just supposed to be open minded and tolerant?
First: Does absolute truth even exist?
This is something which in our society today seems to be highly questioned. Is there such a thing as absolute truth? Is everything, including truth, just relative?
Somehow these questions largely seem to come up in matters of morals and religion, not in everyday life. If you ask your spouse, "Do you have an umbrella?" you don't expect the answer to be, "Well it depends, since it's all just relative and there is no one truth on the matter." No, we expect that there is one answer that is the truth. Either you have an umbrella, or you don't. But when it comes to matters or religion or morals, people seem much more likely to say, "Well, it depends, since it's all relative and there is no one truth about it." Is that a common answer because there is no such thing truth – or because it feels more comfortable to answer that way? We need to establish that choosing to not believe something doesn't make truth cease to exist.
I want to point out the difference between belief and truth. The truth exists independent of whether there is belief or not. (For instance, the world was round, even when everyone thought it was flat.) Truth doesn't change when belief changes. (The world didn't change to being round when people started believing it was round.) Being good and sincere in a belief does not make it necessarily the truth. (I'm sure there were good people who sincerely thought the world was flat.) There can be any number of beliefs, which may vary for any number of reasons. Someone could believe the world was a triangle, or that the world was sitting on the shoulders of a giant, or that it just stretched on forever, if they wanted to. But just because they believed it would not make it true – and it also would not mean that the truth does not exist on the topic. Truth exists independent of whether someone believes it. Any number of beliefs may exist, but that does not mean they are all true.
But for the sake of argument, for the moment, let's just say there's no such thing as absolute truth.
Ok, ready?
"There's no such thing as absolute truth."
But, wait, there is already a problem.
If you say there is no such thing as absolute truth … is that absolutely true? If so, then you're contradicting yourself and disproving your point because you're claiming something doesn't exist by giving an example of it existing. Or if it's not absolutely true .. then it's not aboslutely true, and absolute truth does exist. It's a self contradictory stance.
The same goes for other similar arguments: "You can't know truth." (Then how do you know that?) "Truth does not exist." (Then is that statement not true?) "Truth is simply relative." (Is that just a relative truth as well?) "You can't say one thing is more true than anything else." (So is what you're claiming no more true than the opposite – that some things are more true than others?) Truth exists – to even claim otherwise is a contradiction of its own viewpoint.
"But this all sounds very narrow, to say there is absolute truth. Aren't we all just supposed to be open minded and tolerant?"
These are phrases (open minded and tolerant) which get thrown around so much, I'm afraid they've started to lose their meaning! Let's look at them one at a time, because they are two different items.
Yes, we should be open minded! And before you read any farther – why is it that we should be open minded? Stop and think about it for a second. Isn't it so that we don't continue to believe something that is false? So that when we learn something is the truth, we will accept it and not be closed minded to it? For instance, I remember when I was a kid, I thought that your belly button was actually a button you could push to make yourself hungry and make room for seconds. (HA!) When I got older, I discovered that was not the truth. If I had not accepted that truth, I would have been extremely closed minded. I was open minded, and when I realized I was wrong, I changed my belief in the matter. But now suppose that as an adult, I told you that I wouldn't say whether the belly button was actually a button to push to make room for seconds, or whether it was not, or even if there was a truth about it at all – because I was choosing to stay open minded on the subject. Is that really what open minded means? Should we stay "open minded" about whether the earth is round or flat? The whole point of being open minded is to recognize that our beliefs can be wrong – not that truth doesn't exist. We stay open minded so that we can recognize the truth when we see it.
But what about being tolerant? What does it mean to be tolerant? Does being tolerant mean that truth does not exist? Actually, to be "tolerant" of something implies there is a difference – if nothing was actually true or false, then there would be no difference. If you tell me the world is round, I'm not "tolerating" your statement, I agree with it. Tolerating is when there is a difference of belief, not a difference of truth. To tolerate someone's belief is completely different than to be forced to admit their belief is equally true. Again, that's not tolerating, that's agreeing. I have actually heard of a group of people in modern time who do believe the earth is flat. Should I be vicious and punch them or throw bricks in their windows because I disagree with them? Obviously not! But does being tolerant mean I have to accept that there is no truth on whether the earth is round or flat? Not at all. In fact, to claim that we should be so "tolerant" of everything to the point that we actually agree with everyone is not tolerant at all. Because you don't have to tolerate something you already agree with – you just agree with it. Then the one thing left to disagree with is someone who holds that absolute truth does exist. Will they "tolerate" that? No, it is the very thing they are arguing against. So the one thing that they disagree with is the one thing they won't "tolerate", if tolerating really means to agree with it everything.
Yes, we should be kind and respect the fact that others have different beliefs. But that does not mean that truth does not exist. And, in fact, being kind sometimes involves pointing out the truth to someone. If I was driving a car in England, and didn't realize they drove on the other side of the road, I wouldn't want the passengers to just "tolerate" or be "open minded" about my driving – I would want them to correct me! No, I wouldn't want to be cussed out or abused, but when done properly, having someone point out the truth is not unloving – in fact, in can be the very opposite.
So to sum up: Contradicting beliefs may exists, but that does not mean truth does not exist. The existence of truth is not dependent on belief. Truth exists – to claim otherwise is self contradictory. Being tolerant and open minded are both reactions to different beliefs, they do not mean that truth does not exist.

In "Windows and Mirrors," a Tapestry of Faith program
Participants respond to the session by adding to their Window/Mirror Panel a representation of what prayer means to them or of an aspect of prayer they personally relate to.
Engage children to identify prayer purposes and/or practices which they do now or might in the future find useful, meaningful or satisfying (the Mirror question). Ask them to articulate their understanding, questions and respect for practices others use (the Window question). For some, this may be the beginning of a lifelong introspection about prayer practice. One-on-one conversation with individual participants may be extremely valuable. Acknowledge that finding a suitable practice is a very personal matter and their choices may change over time.
Use these questions to elicit reflection:
Invite each child to represent their relationship with prayer on their Window/Mirror Panel, using any media available. As a starting point, suggest they incorporate the finger labyrinth (Handout 1) in some way.
Welcome visiting parents and other adult volunteers to join the children in responding to the session through artwork. You may wish to engage adults with the same questions you ask the children, yet, remember this is the children's time to respond, inquire and reflect. Adults should mostly listen to the children's observations and briefly add information or correct an understanding as needed. You, too, might briefly describe a prayer practice of your own or some observations or questions about prayer practices used by others.
Give a two-minute warning so everyone has time to complete work on their Window/Mirror Panel, clean up materials and store the Window/Mirror Panels.

I love sundaes, but the 40 toppings sundae—or known as the 'Every topping under the sun-dae'—that Tony Richards ate was just downright ridiculous!
At Cold Stone ice-cream, 40 different toppings are offered for your sundaes. These toppings range from Oreo cookies to marshmallows. But why have one or two toppings when you can have it all? That is exactly what Tony Richards did. He combined all of the 40 toppings on his sundae. This 'Every topping under the sun-dae' was a dessert that Tony Richards would never forget. Anyone up for a sundae?

Fireplace Inserts
Fireplace inserts are heating units that retrofit into an existing fireplace (masonry or factory-built). They burn wood, gas or wood pellets and offer superior efficiency. Fireplace inserts utilize the existing chimney, though a flue liner or other modification may be necessary. Vent-free fireplace inserts require no chimney or flue modification. Most have blowers to circulate the heat. Inserts are used to change an existing non-efficient fireplace into an efficient, heat producing zone heat.

According to Statistics Finland's revised preliminary data, the volume of Finland's GDP grew by 4.2 per cent in 2007. Previously the growth was estimated to reach 4.5 per cent. Gross domestic product totalled EUR 180 billion.
The slight downward revision of the previously estimated growth rate of gross domestic product in 2007 was mainly caused by updates received to data describing agricultural, municipal and insurance activities. At the same time Statistics Finland was making minor revisions to national accounts data from 1994 onwards.
All demand items in the national economy went up in 2007. The volume of investments grew by 8.7 per cent, the fastest rate in the 2000s. Consumption went up steadily by 2.5 per cent. The volume of exports grew by 8.1 per cent and that of imports by 6.5 per cent.

We are finishing a screened porch built by contractor with treated lumber. He plans to face the posts with pvc but as far as I can tell that is only available in white and we definitely do not want white posts. We would like a more natural look or at least a brown color. Any ideas as to alternates we can suggest? TIA |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you like the natural look, why cover the posts with anything? Could always wrap them with aluminum (would need bent with a brake), comes in a lot of different colors. But, it defeats the look of natural. |
Most wraps that I've seen can be painted. That will give you more choices in color vs buying brown pvc. |

The Flower light is the first from the planned series of organic glass lights, which should include ceiling lights of various sizes, wall lights and also a stand post light. The lights are made from organic opal glass (plexi glass) and attached also by means of a solid neck or on a flexible bar of variable length, so the position of the light can be adjusted.
The Flower light is fitted with three circular fluorescent lamps 2GX13, 55W (alternatively three circular fluorescent lamps 2GX13, 40W), with electronic ballasts. The flower light can be produced also in dimmable version on request.

Many seed packs and gardening books say to plant (certain seeds) "as soon as the soil can be worked". I'm zone3a in Northern Ontario. I garden in raised beds and my soil certainly can be worked, but we still have very cool nights and some cool days ( high of 11 C today). Do any of you in these lower zones plant this early? Thanks for any input. |

Hi, I'm also in zone 3 in Alberta. I have raised veggie beds and I have planted my parsnips, garlic, onions, peas, swiss chard, and spinach (which is up) all of these are considered cool season crops and can tolerate some frost. But the main thing is that they germinate better when it is cooler. I find it is easier to cover in case of a hard frost when the plants are small (in the early season) rather than when they get bigger. Cheryl |

We are also in zone 3 in northern Ontario. My test for planting is when you can pick up a handgul of dirt and it feels warm. This year because of the wierd winter and spring we will be a little later than usual, but here is a general rundown of our planting times. All the ones that bdgardener mentioned plus lettuce can go in now. Other seeds go in somewhere around the 24th of may. it will take about 2 weeks before they are up Tomato and pepper plants go in after the last frost which is usually the second week of June--right around the new or full moon. A good investment for you with raised beds would be row covers or garden blankets. These are sheets of a special light material that come in sheets 67 inches by 20 feet and cost about $16 You can cut them to fit your raised beds. It is about 2 degrees warmer under them and the light and water goes right through them. I do find that when wet however they tend to flatten the plants so I put upturned flower pots here and there. They can be rolled back and then put on when frost threatens. I rinse mine off and use them again the next year and they last about 3 summers |
Potatoes can also be put in early. Many of these seedlings can survive up to -10C with no damage. |
- Posted by oilpainter (My Page) on Sat, May 9, 09 at 15:18
Beets will freeze so watch if you plant them this early. Usually if the seed package says when the ground is ready to be worked they are frost hardy or else it will say plant after danger of frost is gone |

Other programmes in the subject of Engineering:
This degree is designed for computing science students who wish to specialise in the development of software systems for mobile, embedded platforms.
You will have work experience opportunities throughout the UK as well as in Europe and the US.
Computing Science at Glasgow is ranked second for excellence in the UK (Guardian University Guide 2014).
You will take a course that emphasises the principles of programming and a course on computing fundamentals.
You will study Java programming, object-oriented software engineering, data structures and algorithms, algorithmic foundations, computer systems and information management.
You will also study other subjects in years 1 and 2: see Degrees in Arts, Science and Social Sciences.
If you progress to Honours (years 3 and 4), you will study courses that present a practical, design-oriented approach to computing, covering software engineering itself and related topics such as embedded systems, databases, human–computer interaction and real-time systems. Practical work is an essential part of the degree programme and in third year you will take part in a mobile software engineering team project, using state-of-the-art mobile computing equipment. Fourth-year individual projects have a mobile software engineering focus and allow you to explore some topics in more depth.
Mobile Software Engineering can be taken as an MSci, which includes an additional year. Students on the MSci programme follow the BSc Honours degree programme up to the end of their fourth year of study. This is followed in fifth year by additional advanced modules and a substantial research-oriented project.
Students who study abroad usually do so during year 2 and we have exchange agreements in place with universities across Europe. You can also spend a year abroad in North America and Australasia.
Typical entry requirements for European qualifications: Science European Requirements [pdf]
Accepted Science subjects:
Please note: all A-Level, International Baccalaureate, and other EU entry requirements must be achieved in first sitting.
For applicants whose first language is not English, the University sets a minimum English Language proficiency level.
International English Language Testing System (IELTS) Academic module (not General Training):
Common equivalent English language qualifications:
* Please note that TOEFL is still acceptable for admission to this programme for both home/EU and international students.
For international students, the Home Office has confirmed that the University can choose to use TOEFL to make its own assessment of English language ability for visa applications to degree level courses. We therefore still accept TOEFL tests taken in the last two years for admission to this programme.
Pre-sessional courses
The University of Glasgow accepts evidence of the required language level from the Language Centre Pre-sessional courses. We also consider other BALEAP accredited pre-sessional courses:
What do I do if...
The University's Language Centre offers a range of Pre-Sessional Courses to bring you up to entry level. The course is accredited by BALEAP, the UK professional association for academic English teaching; see Links.
Please contact the Recruitment and International Office: email@example.com
If you require a Tier 4 student visa, your qualification must be one of the secure English language tests accepted by UK Border Agency:
Glasgow International College offers Foundation courses to upgrade your academic qualifications.
It is a visa requirement to provide information on your level of English based on an internationally recognised and secure English language test. All test reports must be no more than 2 years old. A list of these can be found on the UK Border Agency website. If you have never taken one of these tests before, you can get an initial idea of your level by using the Common European Framework self-assessment grid which gives you a level for each skill (e.g. listening B1/writing B2 etc.) However, please note that this is not a secure English language test and it is not sufficient evidence of your level of English for visa requirements.
For further information about English language, please contact the Language Centre.

For those who live in the colder climates, I'm sure many are not looking forward to bringing in all their pots for the winter. I know I'm not! :) Last winter I found many rolly polly bugs a.k.a pill bugs/sow bugs and other miscellaneous bugs in my plant room while my potted plants overwintered indoors - this year, I've decided to treat all the pots prior to bringing them in to avoid freaking out everyone in the house with bugs.
For those who treat their pots prior to bringing them in, could you recommend a good product to use? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Happy Growing! :) |

I personally use products that have imidacloprid in them. In particular I use Bayer Tree and Shrub products with I believe 1.47% imidacloprid. This is great against spider mites and mealy bugs as well as other things you do not want. Last fall I dosed all my plants a couple of times before bringing them in (2 Tbsp/Gal at the concentration indicated)......I both sprayed the leaves and did a soil soak.....I never had a bug all winter....no spider mites, no aphids, no nothing....first winter ever.....I've already started my regimen this fall. I'm sure there are a ton of other options, but this is what I do. By the way, this is perfectly safe on my Amaryllids from all around the world, my caudiciforms, my aroids and everything else :o) Dan |
Thanks Dan! Since I nearly poisoned myself and my coworkers with a granular systemic a few years back, I'm glad to know about this alternative. BTW...still use the Bayer granuales, just don't bring them in the house anymore! :-) Kristi |
Hello Dan - Thank you for sharing your invaluable information! :) I'll go check out Home Depot tomorrow to see if they have the Bayer Tree and Shrub (liquid form) in stock. I hate to kill the harmless buggies but I also don't want to have bugs walking around on my white carpet. Have a great day. |

Pax, I know exactly how you feel, I HATE killing the harmless bugs :( I hate it! I always feel awful even killing a fly! |
If you got some extra $ to spare, giving your plants/bulbs a dose of that "High Tech" fungus and bacteria Mycorrhizae/Trichoderma (hope I spelled that right)would help a lot preventing "baddies" overwintering with your plants/bulbs. It works with Imidacloprid but some fungicides and insecticides can kill them. |

How can I tell if a journal if scholarly or peer reviewed?
Scholarly journals publish articles written by academic experts for other scholars, students and others familiar with the language of the academic discipline the journal covers. Most scholarly journals are peer-reviewed, which means that articles are reviewed by a panel of scholarly experts prior to being accepted. Many libraries have put together great guides explaining what scholarly and peer-reviewed journals are and how you can recognize them. Some of these guides are linked below.
Some of the library's databases, such as those in ProQuest and EBSCO, have features to help you identify whether an article is in a scholarly, academic, or peer-reviewed journal.

Like many others, we are in the process of choosing appliances for our new kitchen. Due to space constraints, we are limited to a counter-depth refrigerator, as well as a 30" cooktop. We are also looking for double wall ovens. We haven't seen a ton of opinions on the Electrolux products we are looking at and were hoping to solidify our decision soon. The following are what we are considering Electrolux Professional Series 30" Double Wall Ovens (E30EW85GPS) Electrolux Counter-Depth French Door Refrigerator (EI23BC60KS) Electrolux 30" 5-burner Gas Cooktop (EW30GC60IS) We have not been able to see the Electrolux refrigerator mentioned, but are also leary of some of the reviews on the KitchenAid. Help - it's so difficult to know what you are getting. We are not professional chefs, but do cook nearly all meals at home as well a bake bread, etc. We are looking for something reliable, but we don't need our kitchen to be worth more than the land it is built on! If there are other products we should be looking at, please suggest them. |

Love our Elux refrigerator. It is 2.5 years old and works great! I went induction, so no help there. If you search gardenweb a2gemini refrigerator- you should get some posts. I think the Elux icon wall ovens are the sexiest things on the market and the regular ones a close second. I went with Wolf and GE but still ogle the flux. |
I've had the refrigerator and a single "wave touch" oven for two weeks. I like them. The "perfect turkey" mode worked! I also have the Icon speed micro convection for my second oven, a dishwasher and an induction cooktop. The dishwasher is acting weird and I'm planning on calling E'lux in the morning, but the other two appliances are working fine. My old house had a Kenmore Elite induction cooktop that was made by Electrolux and that is still doing fine after 7 years. |

TeeDub, Which refrigerator did you end up choosing? I ask because we're in a similar situation, choosing between those Kitchen Aid and Electrolux models (and possibly the -80 or -30 versions of the elux). Also, if anyone else has a recommendation here, I'd appreciate it. I don't think anyone actually answered the original question. |
I would love an update on how you like your Electrolux E123BC60KS refrigerator. I just purchased one, but it won't be delivered for a few months (until the renovation is more complete). I've read lots of awful reviews about it, complaining about the water and ice mechanisms, but we won't be hooking up any water to this fridge, so I'm really hoping it will be AOK for us. It had the largest fridge capacity that I could find in a counter depth fridge. Guess I'm looking for reassurance that this fridge is a good one, if you don't care about water or ice. I can still cancel the order. |

Procedures to get married in MalaysiaThere are 2 types of marriage: Civil and Muslim. Civil marriage is for the non-Muslims and obviously the Muslim marriage is for the Muslims. The procedure to get married in Malaysia is quite simple. You have a choice of three (3) different procedures to getting married. All three (3) have the same legal effect.
Marriage at the Registrar's Office
Marriage through a religious ceremony
Marriage by licence
Generally, the documents you need are:
"Borang JPN KCO1" and "Borang G" are available at the office of the registrar of marriages. You must stay in the country for 7 days before you can give your 21-day notice of intention of a marriage. You have to get married within 6 months after you have given your notice of intention IF there is no objection by any parties. I am sure you would like to know how much will a marriage in Malaysia costs you. The normal civil marriage costs RM 30 and you pay at the time of marriage ceremony. If you do not intend to have another marriage ceremony back home, then I would advise you to get the marriage certificate validated by the Foreign Affairs Malaysia and your embassies before you left Malaysia. This will make life so much easier when you want to get it recognized by your country. If you have anymore doubts, you can contact : The Registrar of Marriages You should also double check with your embassies to avoid any misunderstanding. If you are thinking about getting married in Malaysia, Pangkor is a good option. Have a look at the wedding pages New!

The optical camouflage technology utilized by Keio University effectively eliminates the blind spot while reversing the car.
Yuji Uema from the Graduate School of Media Design at Keio University explains that the optical camouflage design uses external cameras and a half mirror to reflect the exterior obstacles on the road. The obstacles are projected onto the mirror after being processed through a computer. The images appear as if they were the actual size, making the driver feel as if the objects are actually as close as they seem. This technology is perfect for extra assistance in countries like Hong Kong where parking spots and driving lanes are extremely tight.
Although the design currently is only equipped for the rear view, the project's aim is to make it so that the entire 360 degrees surrounding the vehicle becomes transparent to the driver.

The 'Unreal World'
Hi All,
First of all, congrats on the great site . I'm a complete begginer on mapping/modding and cant stop reading the pages here Right... on to the question. I was reading the Unreal World page and then proceded to search on the General Scale And Dimensions page AND the Unreal Units pages. The pages do a GREAT job of explaining the cheese thing and the real-life size scales etc. And then they go on to the fact that the 'world' is '3 Dimensional'. But then... thats where it stops. And gives a '1 Dimensional' size limit . EXCERT The size of the world is: 65536 = 2^16 Unreal Units in Unreal 1 and Unreal Tournament. 524288 =2^19 Unreal Units in UT2003 and Unreal 2 is that the Z axis limit or X or Y?? is there a missing 'squared' simbol?? or is there something i'm missing here (being the begginer and all ) Cheers for the help guys... I am in the process of working out if my 'world' is even possible before I start planning it. Lets just say that it could be rather LARGE if i'm not carefull. |

Actually those limits apply for each of the three dimensions; so the size of the UT2003 world is, precisely speaking, (2^19)^3 cubic units. (I suppose the author of the page either didn't think in such terms or thought that that'd be even more confusing for most readers.)
16th Aug 2003, 08:25 PM | #3 |
May be this info could be added to the site. Now I can plan the basic area of the map. in the real world I have about 1.5 square kilometers to play with. If it wont fit i'll just pick the best area that will from with in it. Cheers for the reply mate! dont know who build these emoticons but they ROCK |

Chronic health conditions have been identified as a key challenge for health care during the twenty-first century.Chronic conditions affect a significant proportion of the population, not only in Canada, but around the world. The majority of health care services are used by individuals with chronic conditions 5 and the cost of treating chronic conditions is significant. In Canada, 67 per cent of total direct health care costs and 60 per cent of indirect costs in terms of lost productivity and foregone income are attributed to chronic diseases.
Chronic health conditions are those expected to persist or to recur, usually beyond one year, and range from persistent skin disorders such as psoriasis, to recurrent psychosocial conditions such as chronic depression, to complex, high impact conditions such as chronic renal failure, congestive heart failure, and cerebrovascular disease. Chronic conditions are significantly associated with increasing age and gender, and lower socioeconomic status,and include both diseases such as diabetes, and health states involving disability, such as post-stroke impairment. As the population ages, the needs of people with chronic conditions are expected to place increasing demands on health care providers and health care delivery systems. The impact of chronic conditions and the need to introduce chronic condition prevention has been identified as a priority for the newly created Public Health Agency of Canada.
The Romanow Commission on the Future of Health Care in Canada also identified the needs of those with chronic conditions as an area for future attention, and the recent national consultation on health services and policy issues for 2004–2007, Listening for Direction II, identified chronic disease management as an important issue for sustainability in Canada.

Leadership Communication Skills ~ Have you ever trained your management team on the art of influence? If not, why not? Influence is a survival skill for managers and leaders, yet it doesn't come naturally to most.

Positive, Power and Influence ~ To get things done in today's organizations, we must positively influence others-direct reports, colleagues, managers, clients, and suppliers-both inside and outside the organization. In addition, the factors influencing organizations change therefore flexibility in using different influence approaches is key. Typical influence goals include gaining buy-in for one's ideas, securing cooperation, attuning agendas, and sustaining action.
Priority Map Workshop ~ Bridging the gap between strategic priorities, performance goals, and what we're working on today. The Priority Map™ workshop (2-4 hours long) is a series of planning exercises, supported by a visible tool (the priority map) that many of my clients find extremely useful for clarifying/focusing/executing on performance goals & strategic priorities. It's a great way to keep performance plans "alive" and help teams stay aligned. This learning is targeted toward managers and supervisors. It's also appropriate for high potential individual contributors who have responsibility for various longer term performance objectives, priorities and projects.
Scottish Castle Leadership ~ If you're serious, prove it. Come to the castle that's been inspiring great leaders for 500 years. When was the last time a hotel inspired you? Ready to get really serious about building your empire? Welcome to Guthrie Castle, Scotland, an exclusive retreat for leaders and high performers.
The Roundtable for Leaders ~ No longer the domain of CEO's and corporate Presidents, The Roundtable for Leaders gives mid-career leaders access to this powerful peer mentoring and executive coaching program and delivers immediate results. Consider it your own personal board of directors filled with individuals who know you, understand your motivations and passionately believe in your success. If you've been thinking about doing something bigger with your leadership career, then now is the time to act.
Thinking Outside the Bowl ~ Not a box, a BOWL! The top is open for an easy leap to a new perspective! More of the same creates more of the same! People need new tools and perspectives to create fresh competitive edges for business! This interactive workshop shakes up conventional wisdom and gets your people more resourceful and passionately competitive!
Time Management ~ Having Fun…Getting Things Done! The best way to achieve time and activity management is to maximize your skills and enjoy the process. Everyday we need to make our personal contribution to success, how we plan to achieve it, how we take action and how it impacts us determines our overall ability to consistently perform at our best.
Winning in a Cross Generational Workplace ~ In today's multigenerational workforce, it has become increasingly important to understand the different workplace approaches for each generation. Acknowledging the historical context of each generation, and understanding generational perceptions, will provide a platform for stronger communication and more effective teamwork at your organization. The new blend of generations, race, gender and ethnicity has created a workforce that is more diverse than ever before. For the first time, we have four generations working side by side. This generational diversity creates challenges as well as a great potential for opportunity and growth. By learning to value the strengths and viewpoints of each of the four generations, organizations can create leading cross-generational teams.

So I've been looking for a good, reliable folding knife for a while, on and off. Haven't really had the motivation to go ahead and order one, but while perusing the web looking for the knife I always figured I'd actually buy for the purpose (Kabar Dozier Thorn tactical folder), I discovered that they're out of production and out of stock in most shops. After searching google for awhile, I finally found a shop that had one left in stock, and at a very good price to boot. So I called em up, made sure they still had it, and ordered that puppy. Here's a picture for those who haven't seen one before.
Designed by Bob Dozier, manufactured in Japan, blade is made of D2 steel and double-sided, handle is aluminum. I've heard nothing but good things about this knife for years, and think it's one of the most elegant-looking folding knives available (or soon to be unavailable!). I'll let you all know how it feels and handles once I get it (probably by the end of the week).
*bonus points for anyone who can name the song's lyrics from which I got the topic title!*
