Few market segments are as competitive as the luxury sedan category, where the world's finest automakers vie for the hard-earned dollars from among the shrewdest consumers. Acura has not been a frontline fighter in this battle, as its respectable RL could not outshine the more powerful, more feature-rich competition from Japan and Germany. Until now.
For 2005, the all-new RL boasts a thorough, ground-up redesign with the engineers focused on styling, power, handling, and leading-edge technology. These key ingredients were essential to move up on the shopping list for well-heeled consumers, and we consider this multi-year initiative to be an unmitigated success. Gone is the vanilla competence of the 2004 model, replaced by new passion-igniting verve and a gadget-lover's dream cockpit. The roster of standard features reads like the options list on more expensive cars, and just as significant, these technical treats are smartly integrated.
The fine-lined shape has been honed down to a wind-cheating .29 coefficient of aerodynamic drag, putting it on par with wedge-like sports cars. More than a sleek profile, the RL boasts aero-tuned undercovers for the engine, suspension, exhaust, and muffler. Smoothing every possible edge, the RL even features flush-mounted side glass, rather than the typical slight recess to accommodate the window frame. The benefit for carving a smooth path through the air is reduced wind noise and elevated fuel efficiency.
The overall package took on a "taut and wide" theme, with the new RL measuring three inches shorter than the '04 3.5RL, an inch wider, and 2.6 inches taller, yet the overall wheelbase is 4.4 inches shorter. The dimensional changes give the car more athletic stance that demonstrably aids handling, yet packaging efficiencies were able to enlarge several prime interior measurements.
The interior provides noticeably roomier accommodations, with deep, richly padded leather seats, generous legroom, and modest headroom. Drivers benefit from eight-way power adjustments including lumbar, and these settings can be stored and later activated with the Keyless Access System. The front passenger seat has four-way adjustability, including lumbar. When the rear seat is not in use, the headrests can be folded down electrically, improving rearward visibility.
Aesthetically, a number of contrasting materials complement one another, to create a modern, well-dressed cockpit. In Honda fashion, the control ergonomics are masterful. A true centerpiece, the Interface Dial is the best application of a rotary multi-function control since BMW popularized the concept with its controversial iDrive. Ultimately the keys to its success are the one-touch redundant buttons that don't require changing a lifetime of habits to turn the fan down, or change a radio station.
The standard entertainment system is quite impressive, with DVD Audio ability, six-disc in-dash changer, Bose Cabin Surround sound, and deftly integrated XM satellite radio. The head unit can play not only DVDs and CDs, but also MP3 and WMA files. The 10-speaker system's reproduction is enhanced by simulated surround and an active noise cancellation system.
An advanced dual-zone automatic climate control goes beyond the basic temperature settings by tapping the GPS system to determine the direction of the sun on the car and a dash-mounted solar sensor to measure intensity. With this information, the system can make continuous adjustments to maintain an even temperature throughout the cabin. There are rear vents for second-row passengers, as well as sun shades.
Wide and deep, the 13.1-cu-ft trunk is easy to access, and it features a pass-through ski door for transporting long, narrow objects. Under the floor is a space-saving spare tire.
The standard front, side, and curtain airbags, anti-lock brakes, traction control, electronic brake force distribution, and even stability control are all now the price of entry in this class. Combined with a new body structure, the passive safety elements have enabled the RL to earn a coveted five-star rating in front and side crash tests and rollover test from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Other elements add to the RL's safety, such as the Xenon high-intensity discharge headlamps that angle in to turns, bright LED taillamps, tire pressure monitors, integrated mirror turn signals, and daytime running lights.

All Time Low - Rock City - 11/12/2013 - Review
Posted: February 15, 2013
|Baltimore pop-punks All Time Low were eagerly anticipated in
Nottingham, as a myriad of passionate teenagers braved the cold from as early
as 8am to ensure that they were as close as possible to the band, eager for
their ultimate fan experience.
At 7pm the doors opened, and American pop-rock band The Summer Set opened with
catchy beats and sing along lyrics. UK group Lower than Atlantis followed, with
edgier, louder, less-clean-cut music and considerably more 'rock n' roll'
behaviour than the previous act. Neither act failed to disappoint.
A restless and impatient crowd awaited the band through the brief break, with
chants of 'All Time Low! All Time Low!, which continued for a good few minutes,
with the fans getting more and more excited with each word uttered.
Soon after, All Time Low exploded like dynamite onto the
stage with their infectious newly released single 'Somewhere In Neverland', accompanied by the piercing screams of
2,000 hardcore fans that filled Rock City up to its entirety. By the end of the
first two songs, most fans were slick with sweat; sharing mutual smiles
alongside the band themselves, with vocalist Alex Gaskarth shouting: "You guys
are way f*****g better than Newcastle were!"
The band's energetic, 17-song set, featured nearly all of their biggest hits,
including 'Weightless', 'Dear Maria, Count Me In' and 'Lost In Stereo'. Not to forget fan
favourites 'Backseat Serenade' and 'Therapy', where the crowd sung along so
loud and so beautifully that Gaskarth's vocals were almost drowned out. A few
tear-stained faces lurked in the audience, and it just shows how much a band
that jokes about their listeners' nipples can really mean to their fans. ("2,000 fans? That means there's 4,000 nipples in this room!")
The band, also comprising of guitarist Jack Barakat, bassist Zack Merrick and
drummer Rian Dawson, played perfectly throughout the night, working each
instrument with considerable ease and sounding as good as they do on their five
albums. They engaged with the crowd during the breaks, cracking their trademark
crude jokes before going back to infecting the crowd with their feel-good
music. They didn't lack in energy, confidence or happiness, resulting in an
unforgettable show.

As many of you know, my mother and I have adopted a tradition of traveling to England together annually. Part of the fun is in selecting "the" perfect cottage for our stay (actually, in 2013 it will be cottages, as we're dividing our time between two areas). A recent thread here on how people in other countries decorate prompted me to say something about how we seek out self-catering cottages in England with ample charm - something that is surprisingly not always easy to find. We love old properties that have been renovated to a nice standard. Cozy, clean, and cute are the operative words for us. I just came across this adorable little place in Bradford on Avon today called "Bridge Cottage." I have absolutely no affiliation with this rental, and we aren't staying here (although we may consider it for a future trip), but I was charmed by it and wanted to share with those who also love this style. I realize it's becoming somewhat cliched, but I don't think I will ever get tired of the Cath Kidston look. Click the photo to begin slideshow ... |
Here is a link that might be useful: Bridge Cottage
Follow-Up Postings:
What a lovely place. I look for old, charming places in the same way when we travel to France. It is so much fun browsing available rentals, isn't it!?, |
Very very sweet! Who wouldn't enjoy a holiday there? So do you already have your itinerary for the next trip, Jen? |
Cliched or not, I still love the look. I think it would be especially charming for a vacation. |
Oops! I forgot to say thank you for sharing. |
Love the blue glass hallway light fixture. Would it be hard to find something like that? What should I search for? |
Blue hobnail glass shade. |

Very charming, I wouldn't want to come home. |

Very sweet, but that music does not go with the cottage at all! |
Did you notice how the tv fit right in sitting on a simple, yet pretty chest? For me, less is more money wise. And this charming cottage is the epitome of comfy. Thanks for sharing! |

I'm so glad some of you enjoyed the pics ... I worried after I posted them that nobody but me would find a rental interesting, but apparently that's not the case. I absolutely love the sofa in the living room. And the kitchen is so sweet (although were it mine, I'd decorate it slightly differently ;-)). Our next trip will take us to Lavenham, Suffolk (one of the best preserved medieval wool towns in England) and Rutland Water. We've never spent time in either of those areas, and we're very much looking forward to it. Here's a shot of the Lavenham high street: |

Here also is an exterior pic of the cottage where we'll be staying in Cottesmore (Rutland Water). It's called "Sticky End Cottage", which has a Winnie the Pooh and the Honeypot connotation. |
- Posted by bird_lover6 (My Page) on Tue, Sep 11, 12 at 14:34
Adorable. Have you spent any time in Chester, yet? It is one of my favorite English villages. I would love to rent a charming little cottage there, someday! |

Back to the mother and child reunion: Rachel is trying to explain herself. Charlie is asking her to slow down, telling her she needs a minute to process this. Rachel says that she was trying to kill Monroe and save Danny. What? You want to talk about the most recent of events instead of explain why you've been gone for years and years? Rachel starts rambling about how she never should have left her family. Then Charlie firmly tells her mother to stop. Speaking in imperatives, Charlie essentially tells her mom to shut up and go save her son. Now it's Rachel's turn to be really shocked. "You've grown up," she says.
We get a brief glimpse of Miles returning to Kipling's house and realizing that the militia has taken his friends and niece. Back in Rachel and Charlie's prison, they're laboriously unscrewing the bolts in an air grille while they play catch-up. At Charlie's first mention of Uncle Miles, Rachel says, "Miles is here? Did he hurt you?" A little taken aback, Charlie says, "No, of course not. Why would you ask me something like that?" But they don't get to finish that conversation because in marches Creepy McCreepster, Sgt. Strausser, who is way too delighted (and forward about how delighted he is) to have two Matheson women in his possession.
Across town, Neville arrives home. The major, who shortly before was so confident that Aaron and Nora would be perfect bait to draw in Miles, gets the tables turned on him. There in his home is Miles Matheson, and he has a sword to the neck of Neville's wife. The deal Miles is offering is simple: His friends for Neville's wife.
With some hesitation, Neville cooperates. He brings back Nora and Aaron. But this isn't good enough – Miles is demanding he get Charlie and Danny too before he releases Julia. The best Neville can do is tell Miles where they are: at the power plant north of the city. So after a couple of swift moves where it really looks like Miles is about to slice off Julia's head, and after Neville imparts his promise to someday kill Miles for this, Miles locks the Nevilles in a closet and heads off for the power plant with Aaron and Nora.
Over at the power plant, Charlie, Danny and Rachel are all back together (which is kind of weird to see. A family together? And alive? This can't be right!). Danny is a little shocked that Charlie came all this way for him. And in another Winchester echo, the older sibling tells the younger brother, "Of course I came. It's my job to look out for you."
Then it's time for some more Monroe pushing Rachel around until she does his bidding. In the room is a Locket of Power amplifier – a real one this time, not a bomb – that Jaffe had partially completed before meeting his Rachel-inflicted demise. At Monroe's mention of Rachel shoving a screwdriver into another human's chest, Charlie shifts her eyes from the general to her mother. "Mom?" she says. "Oh, I'm sure there's a lot about your mom you don't know," Monroe tells Charlie.
Then Strausser takes a page from a book any psychopath like himself has probably been dying to recreate: Sophie's Choice. He commands Rachel to choose which of her children he's going to kill. Rachel is hysterical. She of course can't choose. But Charlie remains calm, determined to stop Rachel from helping Monroe kill thousands of people, telling her mother some things are more important than family. So she stands up and places herself right in front of Strausser's gun and yells, "Pick me." But Rachel gives in – she'll finish the amplifier if they let both children live.
But Monroe isn't exactly about to reward Rachel's compliance: He makes a painful situation all the more painful when he says, "See? It's like Miles always said, 'A good hostage works every time.'"

How your job affects willpower
May 7, 2009 by Yafa Sakkejha
Filed under Featured, Health Articles
If you're trying to harness your willpower to lose weight, eat healthier, or go to the gym, read on.
Your life choices, especially what you choose as a career, can either deplete or replenish your willpower.
Consider the following study, reported in Brendan Brazier's new book, Thrive Fitness.
This study divided children into 2 groups. Group A was taken to the beach for a day where they were free to do whatever they liked: play with kites, swim, and build sand castles.
Meanwhile, Group B was taught a monotonous subject in a classroom setting, while being monitored by adult supervision.
Afterwards, both groups of children were taken into a room and seated in front of a plate of freshly baked cookies. They were instructed not to touch the cookies. The adult left the room and the children were observed.
The children from Group A were able to control their cravings and the cookies were left untouched. However, Group B lacked the willpower to resist, and ended up eating the cookies.
Researchers extrapolated that the pleasure we take from some parts of our lives will affect our ability to restrain ourselves in other aspects of our lives.
If you're having a hard time loving your job, you'll have a much harder time coming home and avoiding the foods that contribute to a poor diet. But, if you allow yourself freedom and joy throughout your day, you'll be more likely to choose swimming goggles over beer goggles.

Beginning in January, county treasurers will no longer have to rely on a driver's word for having liability insurance when licensing or renewing registration on a vehicle.
Treasurers will be using a new state computer verification system, which law enforcement agencies began using this year, to automatically check to see whether a driver has insurance.
Max Lenington, Yellowstone County treasurer, said the county has been testing the new Montana Insurance Verification System. So far, so good, he said.
"It works surprisingly well, but we're not under duress," Lenington said. The county's tests have been with insured drivers, he said.
While counties will begin using the system in January, no one will be denied registration or renewal until some issues are fixed, said Brenda Nordlund, administrator of the Motor Vehicle Division in the state Department of Justice.
"We know we need more time refining this system," Nordlund said.
Some of the issues that need more work include how to handle mail-in and online renewals; commercially insured vehicles, like those insured by farms or ranches; and motorists who move to Montana and have policies that originated out of state, Nordlund said.
Nordlund didn't know when all of the issues will be resolved but said it will require legislation in the 2013 session and continued work with county partners and the system vendor.
The verification system is intended to help reduce the number of uninsured drivers in the state.
The state is trying to "eliminate the possibility that people are going to pretend they have insurance when they don't. We will know more quickly now in real time whether you have insurance when it matters," Nordlund said.
If a driver renews his registration, then cancels his insurance and gets stopped, the insurance card "is not going to work anymore," Nordlund said, because law enforcement can run a verification check.
In 2009, according to the state Department of Justice, 162,000 of the more than 1.3 million licensed passenger vehicles, heavy trucks and motor homes on the road were uninsured. The figures are based on information from the Insurance Research Council.
Accidents caused by uninsured motorists drive up costs for insured drivers, officials said. If an uninsured driver hits someone with insurance, claims filed by the insured driver with his insurance company can potentially raise premiums.
Driving without insurance is a misdemeanor punishable by a maximum $500 fine and 10 days in jail for a first offense.
The 2009 Legislature passed the law creating the verification system, and the 2011 Legislature delayed its start for county treasurers until 2013. The system costs about $540,000 a year to operate and is funded by a $1.80-per-vehicle annual increase in license plate fees.
The Montana Highway Patrol began using the system in May, with other law enforcement agencies getting access to the system in August.
Law enforcement's use already is having an effect, Nordlund said.
"I think we definitely have a heightened awareness of what has been a longtime law," she said.
Requiring vehicle insurance has been on the books since 1979.
Under the new system, insurance companies electronically provide information on insured drivers to the Motor Vehicle Division. Law enforcement officers and county treasurers can check the system to verify insurance.
Lenington said the system will tell the county whether insurance is "confirmed" or "unconfirmed."
Marty Pryor, county motor vehicle supervisor, said the county will try to give drivers notice if a driver is "unconfirmed" for insurance when it mails renewal cards.
More than 50 percent of Yellowstone County drivers renew by mail or online, Pryor said. More than 200,000 vehicles are registered in the county.

Bowling at Work
Plenty of contestants on the WIKY Morning Show's Culture Quiz mention that they're bowling when we ask them on the phone what they're doing. This has led to a number of questions from confused, and some downright angry listeners, about how it is that so many people are getting through from this mysterious bowling alley.
"Bowling" is our code word for "working." It was coined by a listener a few years ago. Let's face it - if you're playing the Culture Quiz, you're not working. You're not bowling either but bowling is more acurate than you might think.
When you bowl, you roll a couple of lines, sit down, visit with other bowlers, maybe have a slice of pizza pie until your turn comes around again. Work is very much like that - you do a little actual work, visit with co-workers, do a little more work, call WIKY to play the Culture Quiz, roll another couple of balls. Work for most is a lot like bowling.
So now you know. Next time we ask what you're doing, you'll know the answer.

Due out on October 8 is Chase & Status' Brand New Machine, and today they dropped a preview of the album's opener, "Gun Metal Grey." What you get is a brief look at the more brooding half, with pianos and distorted vocals giving you a pretty bleak outlook on everything, until the rockin' trap drums thunder down soon after. You don't hear took much of that, though. DAD's had time to sit with the album, and it's definitely got something for (just about) everyone. Curious minds will be surprised, trust.
EDIT Chase & Status have posted three more previews to YouTube:

Everything I'm about to write must be prefaced by one caveat: falling in love is out of your control. That includes when it will happen, where it will happen and who it will happen with. Although some relationship experts or self-help books would like you to believe otherwise, that's the honest truth. You cannot control love. I'll give you a few minutes — or a few decades– to let that sink in. When I was single that was the hardest part for me to accept. I'm a do-er. So not being able to do anything about this life event that felt very important made me feel utterly useless. Which in turn, made me feel depressed.
To put the whole "falling in love" thing in perspective, I think it only happens truly, madly, deeply once or twice in a lifetime if you're lucky. Some people are of the belief that there is not a lid for every pot. I'm more of the belief that some of us choose to be alone. And there's not a thing wrong with that either. So, what do you have control over in all of this? You. I'll repeat it, there is nothing you can do to make love happen. But there are certain ways of being that are more conducive to falling in love, if that's what you choose. Here are a few easier-said-than-done things you can do to prepare for the romance you hope to have someday: Keep reading »

This Monday through Friday, I'm going to give my season predictions in a countdown from worst to first. The format will be three teams per post, one post in the morning and one in the afternoon. Whichever team you're a fan of, there's a good chance you'll feel like I'm disrespecting them. I understand this, and I promise you I won't take your insults personally.
21. Utah Jazz
There is a decent possibility I am severely underestimating this team. Sure, their 8-21 finish to last season didn't inspire a lot of confidence regarding the immediate future of the Jazz, but there are a few things I like about the Jazz. They have a deep frontcourt, including third overall pick Enes Kanter, sophomore small forward Gordon Hayward raised some eyebrows with his late-season scoring exploits, and Mehmet Okur's return after playing just 17 games last season will definitely improve their outside shooting.
But the one player to keep an eye on in Utah this season is second-year power forward Derrick Favors. If head coach Tyrone Corbin can find minutes for him, he could have a significant impact on improving the team's 23rd-ranked defensive efficiency from last season. Now that Deron Williams is gone, Favors will soon be considered the face of this franchise. Comparisons to Karl Malone will be inevitable, and unfair. But with some added offensive polish, I see All-Star appearances in Favors' future.
20. Milwaukee Bucks
Scott Skiles is a very good and very intense coach. He tends to get immediate results when he takes over a new team, particularly on the defensive end. He also tends to have a limited shelf life, as his act wore thin with his players after 195 games in Phoenix and after 337 games in Chicago. After three full seasons as the Bucks' coach, the defensive effort is still there — they finished fourth in defensive efficiency last season.
Unfortunately, the Bucks also had the worst offense in the NBA last season. Drafting Jimmer Fredette 10th overall in the 2011 draft could have provided a much-needed boost in that department, but the Bucks immediately flipped that pick along with Corey "Bad Porn" Maggette and John Salmons in a three-team trade that netted them Stephen Jackson, Beno Udrih, Shaun Livingston and Tobias Harris. Unfortunately, Jackson has yet to report to camp due to "back issues" that might actually be related to his dissatisfaction with not being offered a contract extension.
I expect the Bucks to continue to play hard-nosed defense, because Skiles won't have it any other way. Offensively, I don't see much opportunity for improvement — signing Mike Dunleavy Jr. isn't going to help much. If Brandon Jennings continues to be the Bucks' primary scorer with a sub-40 percent shooting percentage, they're not going to score in triple digits often enough to contend.
19. Houston Rockets
I've been a fan of Rockets GM Daryl Morey ever since he took the job in May 2007. He's a progressive thinker who is at the forefront of advanced statistical analysis in basketball. Bill Simmons calls him "Dork Elvis" and considering my nerdy tendencies, it's not surprising that I'm an admirer. However, after a 43-win season in 2009-10 followed by 42 wins last season, it's impossible to ignore the treadmill that the Rockets appear to be on.
To Morey's credit, he tried to make some bold moves this off-season — including trying to sign Nenê and taking part in the three-team Chris Paul trade that David Stern squashed — but the Rockets enter 2011-12 with basically the same mediocre roster they had last season. The good news is that they are under the cap and they could use that flexibility to make a creative trade that takes on another team's unwanted salary. They could do that, but is there really a point?
Assuming that Morey has a reasonable sense of job security, he might be better suited trying to clear even more cap space this season to try to make room for a premium free agent in 2012. They do have some nice pieces in Kevin Martin, Luis Scola and Kyle Lowry, but those are all secondary contributors on a contending team. Morey surely knows this, and so he will wait for the right opportunity to make his move. I still have faith in him, and so should Rockets fans.

Victoria Resource Corporation (TSX VENTURE: VIT) ("Victoria" or the "Company") is pleased to announce diamond drill results from its first two holes at the Company's Cove-McCoy property located in north-central Nevada. The first hole, NW-1, is located approximately 550 metres north-west of the Cove Mine open pit, which produced over 2.6 million ounces of gold and over 103 million ounces of silver between 1987 and 2001. Hole NW-3 is located about 245 metres west of NW-1 and about 800 metres west of the pit.
Hole NW-1 encountered multiple zones of mineralization, including several high-grade structurally controlled intervals, at depths ranging from 435.9 metres to 661.4 metres. The most significant interval in NW-1 is 38.4 metres containing 10.95 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold, including 10.4 metres containing 21.98 g/t gold. Hole NW-3 encountered 12.2 metres containing 4.96 g/t gold including 3.0 metres at 8.98 g/t gold at depths ranging from 564.2 metres to 574.5 metres. True widths are unknown at this time. The tables below outline the significant intercepts of holes NW-1 and NW-3:
------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- Hole NW-1 (083, -67), Cove-McCoy Project, NW-Cove target area ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- From (metres) To (metres) Length (metres) Gold (g/t) ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- 435.9 661.4 225.6(i) 2.72 ------------------------------------------------------------- Incl: 435.9 557.8 121.9 1.21 ------------------------------------------------------------- Incl: 440.4 452.6 12.2 2.02 ------------------------------------------------------------- Incl: 470.9 483.1 12.2 2.35 ------------------------------------------------------------- Incl: 493.8 501.4 7.6 2.99 ------------------------------------------------------------- Incl: 522.7 524.1 1.4 5.42 ------------------------------------------------------------- Incl: 548.6 557.8 9.1 2.25 ------------------------------------------------------------- Incl: 557.8 661.4 103.6(i) 4.49 ------------------------------------------------------------- Incl: 576.4 581.9 5.5 3.42 ------------------------------------------------------------- Incl: 605.0 643.4 38.4 10.95 ------------------------------------------------------------- Incl: 605.0 615.4 10.4(ii) 21.98 ------------------------------------------------------------- Incl: 622.7 643.4 20.7(ii) 9.15 ------------------------------------------------------------- Incl: 653.8 656.9 3.0 2.30 ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- Hole NW-3 (070, -55), Cove-McCoy Project, NW-Cove target area ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- From (metres) To (metres) Length (metres) Gold (g/t) ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- 516.6 576.1 59.4 1.81 ------------------------------------------------------------- Incl: 545.6 576.1 30.5 2.82 ------------------------------------------------------------- Incl: 562.4 574.5 12.2 4.96 ------------------------------------------------------------- Incl: 562.4 565.4 3.0(ii) 8.98 ------------------------------------------------------------- (i) a cut-off of 300 ppb for the 103.6 metre portion of the 225.6 metre of altered and mineralized zone was not possible. (ii)Cut-off grade at 3.42 g/t gold; all others at 0.30 g/t gold cut-off
The highest grade zones in hole NW-1 were intercepted approximately 150 metres below the deepest holes drilled by previous companies. The high-grade intervals are in strongly decalcified limestone within the Favret Formation, which has been cut by north-west striking, south-west and north-east dipping structural systems. The Favret, where it is cut by these gold-bearing structural systems, is the main NW-Cove target northwest of the Cove open pit. The mineralization encountered in these holes is open in all directions.
Holes NW-1 and NW-3 are part of an initial, three-hole, diamond drilling program designed to define structural systems and to thereby drill deeper convergence zones indicated by Victoria's mapping programs. Hole NW-2 was lost and NW-2A represents the third hole to be drilled and both are pending assays, but similar alteration-mineralization occurs in these two holes. Additional holes are being designed to further test these thick zones of alteration-mineralization in the Northwest Cove target area.
Victoria will continue to expand its exploration program at Cove-McCoy and will also continue to assess the extent of the alteration-mineralization that occurs where the Favret Formation is cut by structural systems encountered to date throughout the property. The Company has defined nine additional targets where the Favret Formation can be drilled.
Victoria controls over 48,000 hectares in Northern Nevada in nine project areas, most of which it plans to drill over the next year. A third drill rig will arrive in approximately one week to begin drilling in one of these project areas.
Drill core is logged, photographed and cut in half with a diamond saw on site. One half of the HQ diameter core is shipped to BSI-Inspectorate Laboratory in Reno, Nevada. Analysis by BSI Labs includes gold fire assay with atomic absorption ("AA") and gold fire assay with gravimetric analysis on all samples grading greater than 3.0 grams per tonne gold. Victoria uses certified control standards, duplicates and coarse field blanks inserted into the sample stream to the lab to monitor lab performance. The qualified person under National Instrument 43-101 is Tom Garagan, P.Geo.

Indrayanti beach
Located on the east coast of Sundak Beach, the beach that is lined by rocky cliff is one of the beaches that presents different views with other beaches in Gunung Kidul. Not only decorated with white sand, rocky hill, and the clear blue water as if calling for tourists to dive into it, Indrayanti Beach is also equipped with a row of restaurants and cafes and inns that will spoil tourists.

First time poster. Reading previous LED posts - excellent group. While waiting on ebay 12vDC LED 5050 and 3528 strip reels delivery from China, I am pondering, researching; getting confused and questioning. The question I cannot find an answer for is: Will 12v LED strips be damaged or significantly reduced hour lifespan IF powered by a general purpose wall adapter rated less than 12vDC? Will a 9vDC or 6vDC wall wort adapter hurt the LED strip? If YES or NO, can you explain in DIY homeowner language please? I think the 5050 SMD is a 3 diode / resistor strip designed to run at 12vDC constant voltage. I understand that using more than 12vDC will burn out or shorten the diode hours - like a 5amp 18vDC power supply from old laptop is a bad choice. Yes I know the LED vendors sell new 5 amp 12vDC wall adapters for powering the whole 5 meter reel (16+ feet). I may end up buying new but prefer free. If I want shorter LED lengths, I desire to reuse DC wall adapters from old electronics IF it doesn't damage the LED strips. ( I have a box of adapters kept from old... printers, phones, cable devices, alarm systems, keyboards, gaming systems, etc) . I just bought from ebay auctions: 1 reel of 300 LED SMD 5050 $11.50 and 1 reel of 600 LED SMD 3528 $8.01. ($19.51 no tax no shipping - doing this on the cheap). Cool White. 1 reel is 5 meters long (16+ ft) LED flexible strip lighting with 3m tape backing. The rating for these is 12 volts DC. Ebay merchants indicate the SMD5050 working curent is1.2 amps (1200mA) per Meter (39") of LED strip. The strips can be cut every 3 leds which is .05 meters (2 inches) which therefore uses 60mA per 2 inches. If my calculator is correct; a 12" long strip is 360mA (.36 amps) 12vDC. Seems like overkill to use a big 5 amp wall adapter. I have an old uniden 9vDC 360mA and would like to reuse it. The SMD3528 LED strip working current is even less - about .8 amps per meter. Thanks in advance for your thoughts and comments. I know one of you is shaking your head right about now but constructive feedback would be appreciated. Cheers - Mark Other sidebar question is how do you know if a power supply adapter is regulated or unregulated? I read somewhere to only use regulated adapters (don't know why). I think the old Malibu low voltage lawn lights power is 12 volts but not sure if it is ok for LED strip lights. |
Follow-Up Postings:
You aren't going to get so much light out of them if you drop the voltage to 9V, but it will not hurt anything. Is that Mailbu 12v DC? It needs to be, connected with the correct polarity. |
It looks like the leds have been pre wired with a resistor under the Heat shrink tubing. It is stated that the current would be 30 mA at 9 Volts. |
Here is a link that might be useful: The led strips I got from

Time to reverse the roles; the male version of the birth control pill will soon be in your grasp. This means that, while you will have to remember to take a pill every day, you will no longer have to use your various "methods" of birth control any longer. Now, whether this is a blessing or a curse is up to you.
Kirsten Thompson, director of the International Male Contraception Coalition says, "Some men are quite desperate for better control over their fertility. They're looking for something they can really count on." For decades, authorities on the subject of contraception have predicted new contraceptives for men and the male version of the Pill is already in the human testing phase and shows a good chance of commercialization.
Right now, men don't have a lot of options when it comes to birth control. The newest device (this is not a pill), the Intra Vas Device, prevents pregnancy by blocking sperm. The makers of the device are expected to announce effectiveness data that shows the Intra Vas Device to be equivalent to traditional vasectomy methods. 500,000 men opt for vasectomies each year, so the Intra Vas could be a phenomenal improvement to the permanence of traditional options.
If you aren't ready to go under the knife, taking the pill could be an option if you aren't comfortable trusting your sleeping partner to take hers every day or you are a control freak. Whether you get something implanted in you or you opt for the future man-pill, options for men are in sight and will one day, literally, be in your grasp.

I was pruning my hydrangeas, while I was mad that my hydrangeas were still having buds break and grow, I noticed what I thought was root. I was soon trying to pull it up and came to find it was a branch grown under the soil and I found a sprouted hydrangea seedling on the branch I just potted it and it has very white fibourous roots can anyone tell me why my hydrangea is still growing and also tell if it was right to pot the seedling up and take it inside |
Follow-Up Postings:
Congratulations on your baby hydrangea! Some branches that come in contact with the soil will sprout roots and begin to grow a new shrub. This method of propagation is called ground layering. Depending on your weather, I would keep it well mulched outside in an area that has bright shade and is protected from winds. Then as winter sets in, bring it into the garage or a shed where it gets some winter protection and where you can water it once every two weeks or so until Spring. My Zone 8 winters are mild so I might be tempted to keep it outside. Luis |
- Posted by gardenapprentice none (My Page) on Sun, Oct 6, 13 at 14:49
Thx so much....I'm speechless and happy at the same time I read that ground layering is very rare and if done takes up to several months to occur it's very thrilling and I'm going to keep it inside for at least this fall and put out in the spring I want it to get at least 4 inches of growth and I'll let nature take it's course |
Your hydrangeas are still growing because it has not become cold enough to stop them. I note you are in Tennessee, here in California mine are still growing well. Al |

In Virginia's earliest days, many taxes were structured to take from the poor and provide to the rich. "[U]ntil the latter part of the seventeenth century, the members of the governor's council were exempt from taxation; and only they, according to an early statute, could wear gold braid on their clothes."2
Virginians paid taxes to the colony, the county, and to the parish. Colonial taxes were poll taxes, allocated per capita. All slaves 16 years and older, and all free men 16 years and older, were classified as "tithables," and the head of that family unit paid the tax. (Children and white women were not taxed, but slave women 16 years and older were taxed.)
Taxes were normally paid in tobacco, because cash was rare in the colony. There was no graduated income tax like today, where the tax rate is based on income levels and those with higher incomes pay more per dollar earned. If you were a tithable, rich or poor, you wewre require to pay the same number of pounds of tobacco to the colony. Since colonial Virginia family units with large numbers of men over 16, or large numbers of adult slaves, had greater income-producing potential and also paid more taxes, rich families paid more taxes than families with few slaves... but taxes consumed a higher percentage of the income of the poor.
The individual tax levy imposed on all tithables for the colony was determined by the House of Burgesses. The elected members of the House calculated the required funding for the operations of the colonial government, divided it by the number of tithables in the colony, and determined the levy to be paid by each tithable.
County sheriffs were required to collect the tax and forward it to Jamestown (later, Williamsburg). To avoid the fixed expensies of salaries, and to provide an incentive for collecting taxes, the sheriffs were entitled to keep a percentage of what they collected.
The amount of the tax levy varied according to both the needs of the colonial government and the relationship between the legislature and the governor. When there was fear of attack by Indians or Europeans, the House of Burgesses would authorize expenditures on the militia and forts - and then establish a higher levy to cover those costs.
In 1674, the House sent two representatives to England to lobby against the execution of special "proprietary" grants issued by Charles II. (These were separate from what became known as the Fairfax Grant, but also shifted most authority to grant land away from the Governor, Council, and House of Burgesses and vested it in a few individuals.) To cover the expenses of sending Secretary Ludwell and Colonel Park to London, every tithable in Virginia was assessed an additional fifty pounds of tobacco above the normal levy.
In 1680, after Bacon's Rebellion, the House of Burgesses approved a permanent two shilling export tax on every hogshead of tobacco shipped from Virginia. This assured the governor's salary would be paid, and thus provided him a certain independence from the legislature.
The county officials were not elected by the county residents. The governor, the House of Burgesses, and the county court itself determined who would serve as county lieutenant, a justice of the peace, clerk of the court, sheriff, county surveyor, etc.
If county residents thought that the county levy was set too high, they had little recourse other than to move away. Realistically, however, disgruntled residents did not have the option of transferring their bank accounts and moving to another town. In an agricultural economy, wealth was tied to the land; colonial Virginia was not a cash economy.
The justices of the peace who together formed the county court received no salary. It was an honor to be selected, and in colonial Virginia that had great value. Serving on the court did provide opportunities to acquire the best parcels of land, help a friend or family member get a tavern or ferry license, and otherwise protect the economic interests of the officeholder. Modern ethics laws contrast clearly with practices considered appropriate in colonial Virginia...
When a parish was initially formed, usually at the same time a county was created, the local residents elected the members of the first vestry. That group would determine the costs for building the first church or churches in the parish, so the election of the first vestry helped determine the initial levies of the psarish.
However, when a vacancy occurred on a vestry, the remaining members selected the replacement. Within a decade or so of a parish being created, an unelected vestry set the tax rate. A parish levy was roughly equal to the county levy. It might increase substantially if the vestry decided to build a new church, however. That tax increase could generate resentment among the large number of taxpayers who paid the levy. The rich gentry decided the design and thus the costs of the new churches, and were entitled to the the best seats in the house - but they paid a relatively low percentage of their income compared to the average resident.
The Rev. Charles Green became embroiled in a political dispute with Lawrence Washington (builder of Mount Vernon and step-brother of George Washington) and the Fairfax family. Green stirred up the taxpayers when the vestry proposed building what is today's Pohick Church. The conflict led to accusations that Green tried to assault Lawrence Washington's fiance, though he was essentially acquitted in the only eccliastical trial ever held in colonial Virginia.3
The minister of the local church was assigned the income from a "glebe," or parcel of land that they could farm. In counties with good soil for growing tobacco, the income from the glebe was relatively high - and those parishes were able to attract the best-quality ministers. Glebe Road in Arlington was the road between the Potomac River and the 500-acre glebe for Fairfax Parish, created in 1765 and home of Christ Church in the city of Alexandria and Falls Church in... surprise, the city of Falls Church.

Zeedman sent me some Hopi limas in a trade a while ago, and this year I felt like my garden was free enough of virus problems to plant some of them.
Production during hot weather: I didn't plant seeds until June (so I could check for disease development in the garden). They came up readily in hot soil. I watered them more than you would water bean seeds in cool soil. The vines climbed my 4 foot fence quickly but were not particularly rampant. They set pods in the hottest part of summer - not like my usual Forhook 242s. It's like the plants settled into producing pods very quickly, as would be necessary in a desert climate. Use as shellies: The pods were smaller, smoother and much less fleshy than Fordhooks. I picked some in September - some already dried on the vine and some at the mature green shelly stage. I cooked the shellies. They were somewhat mealy and slightly sweet - with a flavor closer to chestnut than to the typical, distinctive "lima" flavor. Shellies are much easier to shell than green Fordhooks. Dried Limas I picked another batch of dried-on-the-vine pods yesterday in anticipation of rain. There are still green pods at various stages of growth on the vine, as well as blossoms. Some of the dry pods shattered in my hand as I was picking them. I expect that in the desert they might throw seeds a short distance from the mother plant. If you had a large batch of beans, I think it would be easy to crush the thin, smooth pods and winnow the pod fragments out of the beans on a breezy day. The dried beans displayed a variety of sizes and colors. Some looked like an over-grown black-eyed pea, but most were flatter. Some were about the size of the typical dried baby lima you buy at the grocery store, but not as broad from scar to the opposite edge and sometimes a little thicker from side to side. Colors ranged from cream (usually with a dark eye and/or markings) to combinations of a creamy rust color to dark russet to black. The dark seeds had a sooty appearance upon opening the pods, but became shiny with even slight handling. Problems Some of the seeds were eaten by a burrowing insect which drilled through the pod and ate part or all of one seed inside. I found a weevil-like insect in one pod (much larger than a flour weevil and lighter in color) and one fat little spider which was probably looking for insects which were eating my beans. I found one wooly caterpillar on a plant -- probably a Salt Marsh Moth caterpillar. A few of the beans developed split skins - particularly on the light-colored beans. Inconsistent watering might have contributed to this. Bottom Line: A beautiful small lima with a range of interesting colors. I especially liked the black ones and the patterned dark ones. Chestnut flavor, a little mealy as a shelly bean - could be especially good mashed like potatoes. Easy to grow, harvest and shell. A good variety to have on hand in case of serious drought. Produces quickly in hot weather, unlike limas which won't set until fall. Keeps producing even after some beans dry on the vine. Thanks for the seeds, Zeedman. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Thanks for this report. Now I really want these. I am in Texas, and the state climatologist says the exceptional drought we have been in since last year will probably continue through next year. I didn't get any beans this year, so I would love to find some that could take the heat next year. |
I could send you samples of the color variations, but I don't have enough seed to produce a real crop. I only grew out a few plants. I saw some individual color selections of Hopi Lima online. I think one type was available in bulk. We've had some light frosts now (not killing frosts) and I may still get a few shellies off the plants if I'm lucky. If you decide to grow these, I would recommend growing on a vertical support if at all possible. |
