Australia sets carbon price to fight climate change
Australia Sunday announced plans to tax carbon pollution at Aus$23 (US$24.74) per tonne to help battle climate change, as it moves towards an emissions trading scheme similar to that of Europe.
Australia Sunday announced plans to tax carbon pollution at Aus$23 (US$24.74) per tonne to help battle climate change, as it moves towards an emissions trading scheme similar to that of Europe.
The EU said Friday it has set up a new anti-hacker team of cyber fire-fighters after a string of recent attacks, one of which saw 30 million euros' worth of carbon credits stolen.
A government-backed study of pollution reduction policies among Australia's major trade partners Thursday backed "price-based schemes" as most effective, boosting Canberra's carbon tax plan.
Greenhouse-gas emissions by the 27 members of the European Union fell by 7.1 percent in 2009 over 2008, driven by economic recession but also a switch to renewable energy, the European Environment Agency (EAA) ...
Europe is to ban a highly lucrative trade in polluting rights obtained by European-based companies under a UN scheme to favour environmentally-friendly industrial investment in the likes of China or India.
Australian researchers have suggested that nations should abandon the concept of carbon emissions trading in favor of a carbon swap bank that might lead to genuine reductions in the amount of carbon dioxide greenhouse gas ...
The head of the world's biggest airline association, IATA, berated the oil industry and governments on Friday for investing "peanuts" in cleaner biofuels.
So-called "cap and trade" legislation has often been portrayed as a regressive policy -- one that would hit poor people the hardest. A new MIT study concluded that this is not the case.
Organised crime gangs are using carbon emissions trading schemes as fronts for money-laundering, experts warned Friday.
China can become the world's top exporter of "green technology" if it carries out crucial energy and ecological reforms, leading environmental campaigners said here Saturday.
Australia on Thursday passed a clean energy law requiring the country to produce 20 percent of its power from renewable sources by 2020 in move that could draw billions of dollars of green investment.
Britain announced plans Wednesday to slash emissions with a huge increase in the use of renewable energy to generate one third of the country's electricity needs by 2020.
Australia is set to approve measures giving polluters financial incentives to reduce emissions blamed for climate change, in a move critics described as ineffective environmental policy.
Australia's axing of its carbon tax and a plan to replace it by offering incentives to polluters to increase their energy efficiency is "the perfect storm of stupidity", scientists and academics argue.
VTT and the Government Institute for Economic Research (VATT) have completed a study commissioned by the Ministry of Employment and the Economy and the Ministry of the Environment, assessing the impact of the EU's 2030 Climate ...

Badir, which is Arabic for "Take the Initiative", was developed by IYF and is fully funded by Starbucks, which operates in Jordan through a licensing agreement with M.H. Alshaya Co.
The program was officially launched in a special ceremony on June 13 at the Dar Al Anda Art Gallery in Jebel Al Weibdeh.
Badir will be creating a national network of leaders aged 18 to 30 who have successfully implemented social change projects. The program will provide them with social innovation skills and management training to help them strengthen and expand their projects.
An innovation fund of the program will provide a monetary grant of up to $5,000 to participants who complete the first training workshop and successfully apply to the fund.
Rana Shaheen, regional communications and CSR manager of Starbucks Coffee MENA, said: "Working closely with the International Youth Foundation, we chose to focus on social entrepreneurship as a means to empower the next generation of community leaders. Badir will take the aspirations and hard work of civic-minded Jordanian young men and women and provide them with the tools they need to think even bigger."
In 2008, Starbucks teamed up with IYF to support youth programs in other countries, it is now looking forward to doing the same in Jordan through Badir, Shaheen added.
"It is a great pleasure to launch the Badir program with a respected and dedicated partner like Starbucks", said Rana Turk, Jordan's country director for IYF. "The involvement of private sector institutions in initiatives like Badir is a critical component of success, and our longstanding global partnership with Starbucks is a model example. The Badir program complements our existing activities in Jordan, which focus on youth leadership development and youth economic empowerment."

'The Oranges,' a movie starring Hugh Laurie and Leighton Meester, on location at Tropicana in Atlantic City.
On Saturday, April 24, a movie comedy called The Oranges spent a day of filming at the Tropicana. The film stars British actor Hugh Laurie, best known for his role as Dr. Gregory House on the Fox TV series House, and former Gossip Girls star Leighton Meester. The movie filmed throughout the casino, including at slot machines and a craps table, in The Quarter and on the Atlantic City Boardwalk.
The film is directed by TV veteran Julian Farino (Entourage), with a script by Ian Helfer and Jay Reiss. The title, if you're wondering, does refer to the cities in North Jersey. The rest of the cast features an all-star line-up of indie film stars including Catherine Keener, Adam Brody, Alia Shawkat, Tim Guinee, and The West Wing's Oliver Platt and Allison Janney.
In the film Meester stars as a young woman coming off a broken relationship who is encourage to date the successful son (Brody) of her parents' best friend. Instead she falls for the friend, played by Laurie, which does not please anyone except the two lovers.
Atlantic City's outpost of Cuba Libre — in Tropicana's Havana-themed Quarter — completed an extensive reworking of its bill of fare earlier this summer. These changes reflect the personal experiences of chef/partner Guillermo Pernot during several extended visits to that long-forbidden Caribbean island.
'I think what you'll see [Tropicana] do as we move forward is make a series of small announcements about things we're doing to improve the property. Hopefully, maybe in about six months, we'll have our master plan done and be able to make a big announcement about the future of the Tropicana.'

Salaries Strong for Recent Business Grads
Posted by: Geoff Gloeckler on July 6, 2010
Finding a job for recent college graduates is getting easier, according to the 2010 Sales Compensation Survey of College Graduates and Interns. Of the more than 80 organizations polled, 70 percent say they will either be hiring the same number or more employees than last year. But how much will new hires with business degrees make?
Based on the survey's findings, business students should fare pretty well. For MBA's, average starting salaries were around $66,000, with average signing bonuses of just under $8,000 and an average annual bonus of about $7,000. Recent grads with a bachelor's degree in business, finance, and math earned average starting salaries of about $45,000, with bonus packages worth about $7,000, second highest in the study only to engineering/science/architecture grads, who averaged $53,000. Not surprisingly, pay for business students varied depending on location, with business grads going to work in the northeast earning 17 percent more than those accepting positions in the south.
For internships, salaries in business fields range from as low at $8.50 to as high nearly $30 per hour, depending primarily on the year of the student. But the greatest incentive for interning is the potential for it to turn into a job. This year, nearly 90 percent of corporate respondents plan to offer interns full-time jobs compared to only 60 percent in 2008.
The study, conducted by consulting firm Compensation Resources, Inc., focuses on salary statistics as well as recruiting and hiring trends for new and recent college graduates and interns. Data was collected between March and April from an almost even split of privately held and public companies across the nation. Nearly half of the participants are based out of the Northeast, and about 40 percent report more than $1 billion in revenue.

Canada Goose (also known as Canada Goose Expedition Clothing Outfitters) is a Canadian manufacturer of cold weather outerwear. The company was founded in 1957 by Sam Tick, under the name Metro Sportswear Ltd.[2] In December 2013, American equity firm Bain Capital bought a majority stake of the company.[3]
Early years (1957–1980)[edit]
In 1957, Polish immigrant Sam Tick founded Metro Sportswear Ltd. after spending years working as a cutter in other factories.[4] Metro manufactured woolen vests, raincoats, snowmobile suits and other functional outerwear before creating down-filled jackets in the early 1970s.[5] In 1972, Tick's son-in-law, David Reiss, joined the company and eventually became CEO. Metro Sportswear evolved with innovative approaches to creating superior down-filled garments and became a leading private label down manufacturer.[1] Metro mainly focused on manufacturing custom-ordered down-filled coats and heavy-duty parkas for the Canadian Rangers, city police departments, the Ontario Provincial Police, municipal workers, the Ministry of Environment, and the Ministry of Correctional Services.[2]
Developing years (1980–1997)[edit]
In the early 1980s, Metro Sportswear expanded to 50 employees and David Reiss purchased the company from Sam Tick. In 1985, the down-filled parkas it had been producing were officially registered under the name Snow Goose.[4] In the early 1990s, Metro began selling its products in Europe, where the Snow Goose name was already registered. Metro registered its European products under the name Canada Goose.[2]
Expansion and growth (1997–present)[edit]
In 1997, David Reiss' son, Dani Reiss, joined the company and eventually became president & CEO in 2001. Dani ignited the company with two key decisions – to produce only under the name Canada Goose and to remain "Made in Canada", when popular thinking was to manufacture in Asia.[2] [4]
The business expanded rapidly in the mid-1990s, with sales and revenues increasing from roughly $3 million in 1991 to roughly $17.5 million in 2008.[6]
In the early 2000s, Canada Goose began to expand internationally and in 2010, it opened an office in Stockholm, Sweden for its European operations.[7] In 2011, Canada Goose expanded even more with the acquisition of a new plant in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.[8] As global growth continued, Canada Goose had to move its Winnipeg operations into an even bigger facility in 2013 to accommodate increased production.[9] The company also recently opened its first U.S. office in Denver, Colorado as part of its growth strategy in the U.S.[10][11]
In December 2013, Boston-based Bain Capital bought a majority stake in Canada Goose.[12]
In just a decade, Canada Goose has seen its annual revenue grow by 4,000% as the company builds market share in Europe, the U.S. and Asia.[2]
Canada Goose manufactures a wide range of jackets, vests, hats, gloves and other cold weather apparel designed for extreme cold weather conditions. Some Canada Goose jackets also utilize coyote fur on the hoods.[5] The jackets are known to be highly coveted garments and are only sold at select high-end retailers.
The garments have been popular in Scandinavia since 1998, and became popular in Canada around 2008. Many celebrities have been seen wearing the jackets, though the company does not pay them. These celebrities include Canadian Hayden Christensen, Matt Damon, Hilary Duff, and Maggie Gyllenhaal. In addition, the jackets have been worn by actors and actresses in some Hollywood movies, including Nicolas Cage (in National Treasure), Jessica Alba (in Good Luck Chuck) and Kate Beckinsale (in Whiteout).[13] In the movie The Day After Tomorrow, which chronicles the Earth entering a modern-day ice age, Canada Goose's Expedition Parka is worn by research scientists representing the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. As well in the television show The Big C, actress Laura Linney is seen wearing the jacket in Season 2, Episode 13, "Crossing the Line". Furthermore, British actors Rhona Mitra and Sam Spruell are seen wearing Canada Goose jackets in the first episode of The Last Ship.
British film director Marcus Dillistone wore Canada Goose clothing when he completed his art suite at the Icehotel (Jukkasjärvi) in 2013.
Jeremy Clarkson and James May, presenters of British television show Top Gear, donned Canada Goose jackets for their expedition to drive a vehicle to the magnetic North Pole in Top Gear's Polar Special.
Furthermore, American model Kate Upton graced the cover of the 2013 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition in nothing but a bikini bottom and a Canada Goose parka.[14]
Canada Goose products are not just worn by celebrities, but by industrial workers in some of the most remote regions on Earth. The Expedition Parka is standard issue for participants in the United States Antarctic Program.[13]
Corporate responsibility[edit]
Canada Goose is involved in several environmental and social initiatives including The Conservation Alliance[15] and Polar Bears International (PBI). As part of its support to PBI, Canada Goose created a custom line of PBI products, including an aviator hat, Expedition Parka and Chilliwack Bomber for men, women and children. $25 from all PBI sales are donated to the non-profit organization devoted to preserving the habitat of polar bears around the world through research and education.[16]
Canada Goose Resource Centres[edit]
Canada Goose operates four Canada Goose Resource Centres that offer fabric and materials to Northern Canadians free of charge: Pond Inlet, Iqaluit, Rankin Inlet and Kuujjuaq.
Established in partnership with the North West Company and First Air in 2009, the Canada Goose Resource Centres provide local traditional seamstresses with high-quality fabrics, buttons, zippers and other supplies free of charge to support the established practice of making jackets and clothing for members of the community, a strong tradition of Northern Canada.[17]
Canada Goose faces major issues with its products being counterfeited. There have been a number of incidents in which counterfeit Canada Goose jackets are sold online through fake websites. Oftentimes these fake coats use fur from dogs or cats instead of coyote fur. In addition, instead of using duck down in the coats, insulation called feather mulch is used. The insulation used in counterfeits is not as effective as goose down and it can often include bacteria and mildew.[18]
To combat this issue, Canada Goose created a webpage outlining their concerns about counterfeiting and what the public can do to report a crime. In 2011, Canada Goose began sewing holograms into every jacket as proof of authenticity.[19]
In January 2012, Canada Goose launched a lawsuit against International Clothiers Inc. in the Federal Court of Canada for trademark infringement. Canada Goose alleged International Clothiers Inc. of intentionally designing a logo and positioning it on jackets to mimic the Canada Goose Arctic Program trademark. The specific International Clothiers Inc. product lines in question were the foreign-manufactured Canada Weather Gear and Super Triple Goose.[20]
Canada Goose claimed that unfair business practices were used including publishing print advertisements to promote the jackets as Canada Goose products.[21] A settlement was reached in November 2012.[22]
In October 2012, Canada Goose won a landmark legal battle against counterfeiters in Sweden. The District Court of Stockholm, in one of the most significant counterfeit cases in Sweden, found five individuals jointly and severally guilty of felony fraud, trademark infringement and customs offenses. The Court sentenced two of the defendants to serve time in prison and also awarded Canada Goose damages for a total judgement of 701 000 SEK (approximately $105,000 CAD).[23][24]
Animal rights group PETA criticized Canadian politician Justin Trudeau and his family for wearing Canada Goose products in a family Christmas photo because of the use of fur. Canada Goose asserts that it maintains a conscientious position on the use of animal-derived products, saying that in particular, the use of coyote fur is "only as absolutely necessary, and exclusively for functional purposes." There are several Canada Goose jackets that are fur-free, and the down used in Canada Goose jackets is a byproduct of the poultry industry.[25] Canada Goose CEO Dani Reiss was also criticised for repeatedly refusing to meet 11 year-old Jasmine Polsinelli, who wanted Reiss to consider using an alternative to fur. [26] "I think the reason why Dani wouldn't let me in is because he was scared a kid like me might shut down his business," Jasmine said.

I have looked at the electric brewery thread, read it almost start to finish at one point.. I don;t disagree that if cost was no object I would be there in a heart beat! As much as the wife's on board ( and driving some of it) she is not on board to spend a ton on it... thats one reason why I was going the route I was thinking... I am finding 1-4 yr old stoves similar to mine in the kitchen for less than $100 ( one im looking at tonight is $50). I only have to run the gas line like 10 feet to get to the approx location of this area in my basement, so not much cost in black pipe or connections there. Im not looking to invest in any more pots right now, I have 2 currently, a 6 gallon, and 8 gallon I believe, which have worked great for all the extract and AG 5 gallon batches I have made so far... if I move to 10 gall batches I plan on making a lot of changes, keggles with built in heating elements, pumps, etc... Maybe I should have included the fact that this area is going to be shared with the washer and dryer, so the idea is to not build too much into just a brewery since the next owner of the house most likely will not need that... but having tables/storage/water etc in a laundry area is never bad, and really the only element that would be out of place then would be the stove... Most of the electric builds I have seen include deicated lines for the heating element, due to how much they draw, + the cost of the element, and again I don't want to cut up my pots... so it would have to be a heatstick style.. and most of them I see on here say they take 30 min to boil water anyways... I do that with my gas stove faster already!
no self respecting chef will fill a pot for cooking with hot water. you start with cold water. hot water tanks contain all sorts of off flavors from sitting at that temp, stagnant for long periods of time with metals that corrode and rust.
you're adding water to a container with water in it... and then removing some from the bottom. there is still years of sediment, rust, etc in that container. you are supposed to periodically drain your water heater, but i assume everyone reading this thread has never done so. from the EPA site: http://water.epa.gov/drink/info/lead/lead1.cfm
sorry to threadjack. i now return you to the original programming.

I live in an 1865 carriage house. There is a french drain on one side up next to the house. I don't know why it was put there but I do belived it still drains water away from the house.I wondered if I could cover it with soil to make a raised garden bed? It seems to me that water would still drain through the soil and into the drain. Would this work? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Depending on the opening size into the drain the soil may imply wash away. Some filter fabric, some gravel, and THEN soil might work. |

Hello everyone,
I'm pretty new to guns and the world of and I first learned how to handle and shoot a Glock 19 a couple of weeks ago. Since then I've sat in on a CCW course, learned to shoot a friends AR-15 and just today purchased my very first gun, the Glock 26 Gen 4.
My CCW won't be coming to me for about 90 days so I figured I'd purchase this gun I wanted so that I can become proficient with it in the mean time (shooting, handling holstering while home, etc). I'm a smaller framed person standing at about 5'5 & 130lbs and I am LEFT handed so I am looking for a holster for the Gen 4 Glock 26 that I can carry comfortably and keep concealed to the best of my ability.
When I was in my local gun shop myself and the salesperson looked at a few holsters for right-handed individuals and the only compromise we could come up with (if I were to purchase right handed) was to wear the holster behind my back at about 6-7 o' clock or so. I didn't like how I had to reach for it the way I did and I figured I'd come here and seek advice before making a holster purchase. I'm not too worried about price (I don't want to pay an extreme amount) I just want something that will fit my small framed body nicely while concealing. I'd rather not have a huge bulge or have it be too obvious that I carry.
Oh, and I forgot to mention I'd prefer an IWB holster.
Thanks for any advice!

Hampton Court is amazing at every angle. Our tickets included audio guides that walked us through the main areas of the palace step by step and were very informative. Being that we were there end of November it wasn't busy at all (save for a few school groups). Easy to get to by train direct from Waterloo. My only advice is to go earlier than we did......got there at 1:30 and it closed at 4:30 so we didn't get to see the gardens except from inside the palace. Expect to spend a good four hours here to see it all.

Although there was no line at all at the time of our trip it was nice to have the assurance that if there were, we wouldn't have to stand in it. The few extra dollars was worth it.

From SPAIN- In Spain, the Catalan Parliament has passed a declaration of sovereignty, and the Basque regional chief says that they too are ready to become a separate nation. The EU called on the Spanish government to take action to help people who have been evicted. Syrian opposition leaders have failed to put together a transitional government to run rebel held areas of the country. From GERMANY- UN chief Ban Ki Moon criticized foreign powers who have been supplying arms to both government and rebel forces in Syria. UK Prime Minister Cameron told the British that they can have a referendum on withdrawing from the EU after he is reelected in 2015. The so-called "flag riots" in Belfast have gotten much worse in recent weeks, the most violent in 15 years. In Mali there are allegations that government troops have been executing civilians they accuse of collaborating with Islamist rebels. From RUSSIA- As the French war in Mali grows, the US claims that it is only supplying aid to the effort- some suspect Special Forces and CIA involvement, along with the use of armed US drones. From CUBA- At least 4 more people have been killed by US drone strikes in Yemen, while the Obama administration has created special rules for drone strikes in Pakistan.

The two operating nuclear power plants in Japan may be shut down when new safety regulations are enacted in July. North Korea has protested new UN sanctions over its last rocket launch and says it will step up its military power including its nuclear weapons program.

$150M-$250M in MNF bets shifted
Monday night's controversial touchdown call that gave the Seattle Seahawks a 14-12 victory over the Green Bay Packers had an immediate impact for gamblers.
If the Hail Mary pass by Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson would have been ruled an interception by Packers safety M.D. Jennings, Green Bay -- 3½ point favorites -- would have won by five, covering the spread.
Instead, the replacement officials' call that Seahawks wide receiver Golden Tate had possession shifted all those who bet on the Packers to those who took the underdog Seahawks.
"Most of the customers in the sportsbook were not happy with the final call," said John Avello, director of the race and sportsbook at the Wynn in Las Vegas. "The shift was 100 percent. After the (Seahawks) score, all bets were reversed."
More Packers-Seahawks Coverage
Forty years of improved technology, and the NFL is still at the same place as it was for "The Immaculate Reception," writes John Clayton. Story
The Packers have the NFL MVP while the Seahawks have a stout defense, and neither was any match for the guys in stripes, writes Mike Sando. Blog
Can we now, in unison and without debate, agree that the NFL's plan to replace its locked-out refs has failed spectacularly, asks Kevin Seifert. Blog
• O'Connor: Mistake exposes Goodell
• Reaction: Twitter explodes over call
• Rapid Reax | NFC North | NFC West
• Stats & Info: But about the game ...
Avello's best guess as to how much money was shifted worldwide on the call? $150 million in total bets worldwide.
Jeff Sherman, assistant director of the race and sportsbook at the Las Vegas Hotel, says he estimates that the game shifted $15 million in Nevada alone and also concurs with Avello that the worldwide number, including offshore sportsbooks and in Europe, is worth about 10 times more.
Those who take bets online estimated the shift in money was even greater.
Mike Perry, spokesman for betting site Sportsbook.ag, told ESPN.com his estimate in the money swing on the call at the end of the game is closer to between $200 million and $250 million.
Perry said that 70 to 80 percent of the money on his site was put on the Packers, which is in line with the percentage bet in Vegas. At Mandalay Bay, the sportsbook took in about $500,000 in total bets, with about 85 percent of the money on the Packers.
Oddsmaker Danny Sheridan, who sets the lines for USA Today, had the highest estimate of those surveyed by ESPN.com. Sheridan said Tuesday morning that he believes that $1 billion in total money changed hands with the touchdown call.
While there has been no way to handicap the exact part that replacement officials play in spreads, Avello says that it's not the first time this year that spreads have been altered by bad calls.
"It's the first call that has directly affected the outcome, but there have been many that have affected the outcome or the spread directly," he said.
The call didn't just have an immediate impact on gamblers, it also impacted the Packers' Super Bowl odds. After Monday night's game, the Las Vegas Hotel has changed the odds for the Packers to win the Super Bowl from 7-1 Monday to 9-1 Tuesday.

Its not a lot concerning just how upgraded your vehicle is. If you can preserve a minimum of 140mph right around the track and remain away from wrecks you could do very well. That being stated you can pause it also long or you could loose your daily reward. It takes around 2 humans resources to drive 300mi, but I found I can stop briefly the video game virtually indefinetly as lengthy as I don't watch any sort of videos or utilize my internet browser.
This makes it extremely tough to area as the only means to do so is by recreating the whole video game. The reality is, your evaluation was for the previous, however the video game is for either of these groups. RR3 has done a terrific job of applying these principles in the game.
You're competing versus vehicles that drive a little bit a lot more like people as well as a bit less like algorithms. I wish to draw focus that the game is created simply for tools with cpus Tegra 2 then Tegra 3. An essential attribute of the game is the truth that this is not a port from an additional platform, under the android created it once again from the ground up!

I record using Ardour and I play media files using vlc and firefox (eg.

Do I need PA ? Last Friday, thanks to some help here I got to know the
pavucontrol utility which enables the turning off of the 'built-in

There are a few choices in enabling Envy24, and all of them have to do
with either 'stereo' or 'surround'. So far I haven't tried Ardour on
this new Linux Mint machine (used Fedora/CCRMA for years, but F18 is not
nice at all so I switched - one nice thing with Mint is that for time to
time they issue a long-lasting release eg. Mint 13 is supported until
2017 - current is Mint 14, supported for a year, which is what I
currently use, until another long-lasting release is issued), so, so far
I haven't tried Ardour/jack on this new machine and I hope those
'stereo' and 'surround' things do not interfere with multi-track
I'm all for having a lean system, even with quad core CPU there's no
excuse in running stuff that is not needed.
On my previous Fedora 15 system I had to shut down jack for firefox to
have sound output. Do I need PA ? Can it be useful say, to have
jack/Ardour running and at the same time have media from firefox being
played or even recorded in Ardour ? Can PA play with jack ? Is that a
usefulness of having PA around ?

Fairy Tail Episode 100 Review | 1 out of 1 user found this review helpful. |
Its here! Episode 100 of Fairy Tail. I've been following this series for about a hundred weeks! It seems that I'm the person who's more excited about this prospect than the series itself, but hey, that's okay. Fairy Tail is fairly uncompromising in its story, and that's one of the reasons why its such a joy to watch every week. This week, we dove into who exactly Mest was, and not only that, Natsu ran into the other major element of this arc…. ALREADY! I'm beyond shocked at how Fairy Tail's latest arc refuses to pull any punches. In many ways, its of the quality that one of my favorite series of all time, Durarara!! is, in that it doesn't hold anything close to the chest and just does whatever the viewers are most excited to see, adds more mysteries as it shows those exciting events, and then moves on to the next one. In many ways, this episode felt like a breather episode between the intenseness that we just saw in terms of Natsu and Gildarts and their epic battle. At the same time, there were some really awesome moments in this episode that really make me ever the more excited about this arc.
A running theme in the episode, was about Mest. As everyone thought about Mest, they really couldn't remember a lot of details about the guy. Added to that, Panther Lily echoed the very important question that has been plaguing the back of my mind as well. "How did Mystogan take a pupil?" Very very Good question right there. I just assumed that since Mystogan had met with Wendy, he might have met with some other person just like that. The foreshadowing from this episode is definitely saying one thing: "Mest is not of Fairy Tail".
The first signs of this came after Gray and Loke easily took him down. If he had been good enough to almost reach the end of the S Class Exam last year, then its beyond surprising how they took him out. Gray considering this, and realizing he didn't know a lot about Mest was definitely a sign for worry.
Its plain as day now that Mest is not part of Fairy Tail. He also kind of elluded to his purpose in infiltrating the S Class Exam while talking to Wendy. So basically Tenroujima Island is inaccessible unless Fairy Tail itself lets someone on there, surrounded by powerful barriers. Not only that, it houses a big secret related to Fairy Tail. This just reeks of awesome. In many ways, Fairy Tail just seems like something Makarov put together, housing all the problem children and weird mages that would have no where else to go. In actuality though, Fairy Tail is actually a pretty sacred and ancient Guild, with a good deal of history in it. The whole idea that Fairy Tail may have some big secret, something worth protecting from everyone, is just made of win.
My best is that Mest is from the magic council, and I'm sure even they have no idea about what the secret is. Don't confirm or deny this in the comments guys, as obvious as it is, I'd like the series itself to confirm it XD. Regardless of who Mest really is, things look bad for Wendy, as she is on a cliff, with an evil looking Mest right behind her.Carla's worrying was not for naught. As Mest seems to lead Wendy around, Juvia and Erza search for her. We also got the conclusion to the Mirajane and Elfman+Evergreen fight. I chuckled at the whole trick Evergreen used to get past Mirajane. Bwahaha, Good stuff there Evergreen, telling the sister that you're marrying her brother. I gotta admit, its the sleazy way to get past someone for sure, but I guess it suits Evergreen. The little comments by everyone on how Evergreen and Elfman might actually make a decent couple are actually quite true. I didn't think about it before, but Elfman and Evergreen would make an interesting, unqiue and unconventional couple. I'm fine with shipping this couple XD
So with that, We have Natsu & Happy, Gray & Loke, Cana & Lucy, Gajeel & Levy and Elfman and Evergreen as the teams that made it to round. Erza obviously did not let Juvia pass at all, and Freed, Gildarts and Bickslow went back to the guild. I felt bad for Gajeel, as the guy really didn't get a chance to fight at all. Good for Levy though, as she got through without much problems.
And thus, we went into the second stage of the exam. Now this seemed like a rather simple test after the last one, since all they really need to do is find the Grave of the first Guildmaster in 6 hours. It was soon shown that everyone had to deal with the various huge creatures on the Island. Everyone was pretty much hiding and running for their lives;I liked the added comedic value of Natsu not only trying to get information from the monster he took down, but it also answering him XD
And then, Fairy Tail decided to unleash the awesome in its last few minutes again. As Evergreen and Elfman shared a cute little moment of tsundere goodness, they ran into none other than Emo Dark haired boy. Emo boy (I have to refer to him as such until the series tells me his name XD). Now it seems I was wrong about Emo boy's powers only working during the night. It seems he tries to repress the power for as long as he can, but apparently sometimes it just rips out.
It explains why the guy chose to come to Tenroujima Island. As far as the powerful barriers go, one would not expect many people to frequent the place. It was really sad to actually see Emo boy trying to get away, but ending up bursting his powers out anyway. Just as I thought it may very well be the end for Evergreen (as we see in the OP), Natsu jumped in to save the two!And thus! We get the episode ending with Natsu confronting a tear stricken Emo boy, who really seems to be beyond happy to see him. Awesome cliffhanger, and I cannot wait for answers as to who Emo boy is, and what his relationship to Natsu is.

So yeah my friend whom I've not seen in a few weeks did come over yester day. It was pretty cool, I asked him to stay over and he agreed. I thought it was really cool of him not being freaked out by a gay guy asking him to stay the night. We did some tennis in the day and reviewed a classic prank call tape.
Then we played some N64 for the rest of the evening and night, it was cool. This morning he didn't wake up right away so my Mother and I went to my shot appointment and returned and had breakfast (friend included at the table). We then went to walk around and go on a market street and look for entertaining things to do.
So the sky decided to open-up and pour rain on us (seemingly out of nowhere). So we ended up wasting an hour doing that. We then decided to hang out and try to contribute to my new come-back album/demo. I remember my old folk songs I used to do, now I can do that and new heavy experimental garbage. :-D
Today was nice, fast forward to 16:00 we dropped off my friend at his home and my Mother and I went to pay a bill at a store and she wanted to buy something since there was no way Amazon's Kindle Fire could arrive before the 25th so she bought me some new cologne. It's very nice, it almost makes my little (but expensive :-|) perfume imported from Western Asia seem insignificant.
Shipping and handling is a biatch. But my mother told me that it was indeed the thought that counted when getting a gift for someone. I suppose she did think the Kindle Fire as a good enough gift since I passed all my classes for the Fall semester. So I suppose everything works out there for now.
I would love it if my Father joined us for Christmas, but he's too busy with sexual pursuits involving street urchins. I thought about an intervention but he's already so messed-up. I want to tell him how I feel about him but I don't know how. I just want to release all my anger at him just so he can see what he's doing to the people who love him.
I don't know if anyone here might have had something like this happen, but excuse me if I'm being too dramatic. It's just so hard to see someone abuse themselves. I wish he would take better care of himself. There were a lot of times in his life when he should've died, he must have some kind of purpose that hasn't been fulfillied yet.
Usually one dies once they've done what needed to be done. But I'm not too sure. I don't know what to feel about him sometimes, he's not the dad I remember (even though he never was around too much).
Sorry to end on the sad ending of the journal. It feels better to vent it out though.
I'm glad to know you and your friend were able to spend time together. It sounds like you've had a nice two days. As for your dad, you're not being too dramatic~ you love him, and he's being selfish. This makes me angry, too. My dad was an addict. He has literally ruined everything he had. I'm only bringing this up to let you know there is at least one person who slightly relates. As for advice, I'm at a loss. It's tough watching it happen and not being able to do a thing about it. I've tried talking to my dad about his problems, but they're so good at excuses. They're so good at making youfeel like you're the bad guy for not loaningthem money to get their fix. It feels impossible to talk to them about it. What did I do? After many tears and arguments, hoplessness won. I now do nothing. I have many good things going for me, and trying to fix his problem was making me depressed. Call me selfish, but I gave up on making it my mission. If I were in his shoes, I wouldn't want people to give up on me, but they have to want to change themselves Though, I deeply hope your dad steps up. I do, sincerely. It is good to vent. Maybe try writing a letter, even if you don't give it to him, it's good to get the anger off your chest.
Maybe I should write a closed letter for him sometime, it would do me well. I'm sorry to hear about your father, I hope someday he can see what he's done to himself and those around him.

Oracle Team USA once again held off America's Cup elimination, defeating Emirates Team New Zealand by 33 seconds on San Francisco Bay to extend the yachting series into today.
The victory still left the defending champions, backed by Oracle Corp. (ORCL:US) Chief Executive Larry Ellison, trailing 8-6 in the first-to-nine-wins series. The U.S. team has won five straight races since New Zealand reached match point last week at 8-1.
The biggest winning comeback in the 162-year-old regatta occurred in 1983, when Alan Bond's Australia II rebounded from a 3-1 deficit to win the best-of-seven series, beating Dennis Conner's Liberty and ending the New York Yacht Club's 132-year hold on the Cup and the longest winning streak in sports.
"We've really got a huge wave of momentum now," Oracle skipper Jimmy Spithill said in a television interview after yesterday's race. "The guys have been working very, very hard. Again last night, the shore team was there until the early hours of the morning and the boat's just going fantastic."
New Zealand started the race in good position before Oracle accelerated to round the initial turn five seconds ahead. Oracle then increased its lead to about 13 seconds on the downwind leg.
"We were reasonably happy with where we were on the line," New Zealand skipper Dean Barker said. "They just managed to get a bit of momentum right at the start."
The boats then raced back upwind toward the Golden Gate Bridge, with Oracle crossing back and forth in front, increasing the lead to about 19 seconds before the U.S. again held off the Kiwis on the downwind legs to the finish.
"We're very upbeat," Barker said. "We know we can win. The Oracle boat sailed a pretty flawless race that time and there were no opportunities to get back into it. So we did a better job with the downwind, sailing close, but not enough today."
The Oracle team trails despite having won eight races in the series because officials docked the team two points for rules violations during preliminary competition.

Submitted by the Madison County Sheriff's Office
Madison County Sheriff Ben Stewart reports that on Saturday, August 9, deputies were dispatched to Yogi Bear Jellystone Park located at 1051 SW Old St Augustine Road in reference to a theft. Upon arrival deputies were escorted to a camp site where a guest of the park reported that he had left his camp site for approximately 45 minutes and when he returned he found that his CF35 Iceless Cooler, valued at $779 was missing.
While deputies were gathering information from the victim, the park manager observed a white male carrying a cooler on the West side of the park near the wood line. The male subject dropped the cooler and fled on foot into the woods and off the parks property.
Deputies responded and attempted to locate the male subject in the woods. After a lengthy search of the woods, deputies received information that two white males were involved in the theft and were currently at the Fast Track Store located on State Road 53 and the I-10 interchange attempting to get a ride. Deputies were also able to determine the identity of the two suspects and that one of them was a juvenile. The suspects were identified as Jared Gordie, 19 and Josh Gordie, 15.
Deputies immediately responded to the Fast Track and located the two suspects. One of the suspects was wearing clothing that matched the description of clothing worn by the male seen fleeing into the woods and both suspects had fresh scratches and abrasions consistent with running through the woods.
Jared and Josh Gordie were placed under arrest without incident and transported to the Madison County Jail. The cooler was returned to the owner. Both were charged with grand theft.

( GE story updated to clarify reference to taxes.)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- General Electric (GE - Get Report) Chairman and CEO Jeff Immelt and Rep. Charles Rangel (D., N.Y.) might seem like an odd pairing.
GE CEO Jeff Immelt got a big tax break from U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel (D., N.Y.), then gave $11 million to schools in Rangel's district. |
Immelt is a Republican who leads a giant corporation based in Fairfield, Conn. -- a town named as one of the preppiest places to live in the U.S. in the 1980 bestseller The Preppy Handbook.
Rangel has represented the decidedly unpreppy neighborhood of Harlem in the U.S. House of Representatives for 40 years. What the men have -- or at least had -- in common were two things: immense power and a keen interest in tax policy. Last year, Rangel was censured by his fellow House members and stripped of his chairmanship of the Ways and Means Committee, which oversees tax policy. He isn't even allowed to vote on subcommittees. His censure came as the result of ethics violations, including the underreporting of assets, failure to pay taxes and using government stationery to solicit donations from companies that had business before him. General Electric is not thought to be among the companies that received these solicitations on government stationery, but a front-page article in Friday's The New York Times raises some troubling questions about the relationship between Rangel and Immelt, and, by extension, about corporate lobbying and U.S. tax policy. In May 2008, while Rangel still held his chairmanship, he met with GE tax chief and former U.S. Treasury official John Samuels. Samuels dropped to one knee and begged Rangel to extend a tax break that is especially important to GE, according to the report, which notes that a GE spokeswoman said Samuels was joking. Rangel was presumably not joking, however, when he changed his position on the issue, known as "active financing," the same day. The chairman's reversal allowed GE and other companies, including Caterpillar (CAT - Get Report), JPMorgan Chase (JPM - Get Report), Ford (F - Get Report) and IBM (IBM - Get Report) to save an estimated $4 billion annually in taxes. A month later, Rangel and Immelt were together in Harlem announcing a $30 million donation to benefit New York City schools, $11 million of which would go to institutions in Rangel's district. Rangel and GE told the Times there was no connection between GE's donation and the tax break, though the article points to what appear to be conflicting statements by Rangel about whether he discussed the donation with GE or Immelt.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

I installed the Karmic alpha 5, now no live usb creation programs work.
I've tried usb-creator (what I've been using for a while), unetbootin, and portable linux, all with varying degrees of failure. I still do not know enough about the programs and programming to determine what is wrong.
Any advice on how I can get a bootable usb from an ISO? I haven't done it by scratch in a while, and have always had a hard time doing it. Right now its looking like that is what I need to do.
Any suggestions appreciated for pointing me to the right place.

Is the golf business coming out of the bunker?
For those of you grappling with the OCR A2 F297 Strategic Management case study (like us at T2U), the golf business might be on the list of things you're wondering about. Or maybe you just think about golf anyway. As usual, the BBC is packed full of interesting background on the business of golf.
I've been especially interested to check out the link between the economic climate and the fortunes of the business. I picked up on golf equipment sales and learned that the golf equipment business is hoping to bounce back – the good times came to an abrupt end in 2008. In 2009 and 2010 Callaway Golf (a big equipment company) had revenues that were about 15% less than in 2008 and it recorded losses as the recession hit the golf equipment industry hard.
New expensive clubs were easily-identifiable "discretionary expenditure" for golfers, causing spending to dive. And the economic downturn affected rivals too: in fact, industry-wide equipment sales have declined by about 18% since 2007. But it appears that all of the equipment product categories have bottomed out and sales are now recovering.
And what about playing the game? The 12-month rolling decline in golf ball sales coincides closely with the decline in rounds played, which according to the US National Golf Foundation reached a peak of 532.3 million in 2006. Statistics also show that mid-2009 marked the worst of the recession for the golf equipment industry.
A final quote is interesting: "the overall economy must improve considerably before rounds played or equipment sales are likely to return to the 2007 levels".
If you want to find out more there's an article and video clip at Masters provides golf business benefits for Augusta and good evidence of growth in 'Other' markets.
But best of all is Global golf industry facing challenges which you must read if you're preparing for the OCR A2 case study.
