British housebuilder Redrow Plc's full-year profit soared 91 percent, spurred by the UK government's 'Help-to-Buy' housing scheme and strong consumer sentiment.
Shares in the company, which doubled its final dividend to 2 pence per share, rose 1.4 percent to 285.57 pence in early trade on Tuesday on the London Stock Exchange.
"We have substantially increased our land bank, which should see a good growth in the number of outlets during the year. This, combined with our strong order book, leaves me confident that the group will see another year of significant progress," Chairman Steve Morgan said in a statement.
However, the company cautioned that the Bank of England's decision to introduce new rules to help curb the surge in Britain's housing market and limit mortgage lending had moderated the market, forcing housing activity back to a more seasonal pattern.
The bank said in June it would cap mortgages worth 4.5 times a borrowers' income from October, and that the changes would apply to 85 percent of total new home loans, sending shares in leading British housebuilders down more than 4 percent on the day.
Pretax profit rose to 132.6 million pounds ($219.9 million) in the 12 months ended June 30, from 69.4 million pounds a year earlier.
Full-year revenue jumped 43 percent to 864.5 million pounds, the mid-sized residential and mixed-use property developer said.
The FTSE-250 company's total legal completions rose 27 percent to 3,597, encouraging it to add 230 direct employees to its workforce. 'Help to Buy' represented 35 percent of Redrow's private completions during the year.
'Help-to-Buy' scheme helps people buy homes priced up to 600,000 pounds with a deposit as low as 5 percent, largely to encourage first-time buyers to get on the property ladder.
Redrow said the value of private reservations increased 53 percent to 1.021 billion pounds, with its average selling price rising 13 percent to 239,500 pounds. (Reuters)

Tom Clancy: Endwar to Change the Face of Console RTS?
No, quake had no plot (67 comments)
Um, did you ever play quake? If I remember right (and it has been a rather long time) Quake was the first FPS to have no plot at all whatsoever, not even alluded to in the manual. There was no opening cutscene, no text of any form at any point in the game, and in fact the start of the game was somewhat unique because instead of having you select difficulty from a menu, they instead dropped you into a room with 3 portals, one for each difficulty.
Wolfenstien had a plot. "Escape from castle Wolfenstien, and kill nazis". Doom had a plot. "Aliens destroyed earth and you have invaded their base and must kill them all". The plot interaction consisted of showing you the name of the next location you were attacking, and some text when you completed the episode. Oh, and you could read about the atrocities of the aliens in the game manual. Heretic has a plot with the same mechanics. Doom2 likewise. Duke3D used a plot similar to doom, except the fight started on earth. Duke3D actually had things you could interact with, but I wouldn't go as far as to call them plot elements. Quake had no plot. Quake2 had an intro plot (same used in Doom) and even an engine-rendered cinematic, but then reverted to killing everything in sight for the rest of the game, like quake 1.
Half-life was seriously the very first game I ever played which was a true fps with rpg elements. Half-life broke new ground.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
This article needs additional citations for verification. (March 2009) |
Annus mirabilis is a Latin phrase that means wonderful year, "year of wonders" or "year of miracles". This term was originally used to refer to the year 1666 (see below), and today is used to refer to several years during which events of major importance are remembered.
The Catholic Monarchs (Isabella I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon) built in 1492 the most powerful monarchy in the Western World by the conquest of Granada (January 2) and the discovery of America (October 12). On March 31 they expelled the Jews from Spain. 1492 is also the year of construction of the first grammar of a modern language: Gramática de la lengua castellana; the author, Antonio de Nebrija (a prominent counselor of the Monarchs) said in it, comparing Spanish with Latin: siempre la lengua fue compañera del imperio ("the language was always the companion of empire").[1]
In the history of the Hispanic monarchy there were more anni mirabiles. John H. Elliott proposes 1625, in the middle of the Thirty Years War.[2]
The beginning of the Scientific Revolution[3] when
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the first known written usage of the Latin phrase "Annus Mirabilis" is as the title of a poem composed by English poet John Dryden about the events of 1666. The phrase "annus mirabilis" translates as "wonderful year" or "year of miracles". In fact, the year was beset by great calamity for England (including the Great Fire of London), but Dryden chose to interpret the absence of greater disaster as miraculous intervention by God, as "666" is the Number of the Beast and the year 1666 was expected by some to be particularly disastrous.
In addition to this, the English fleet defeated a Dutch fleet in the St James' Day Battle, for a great victory at sea. (However, in 1667 the Dutch burned several major warships of the English fleet in the raid on the Medway and Charles II was forced to sue for peace.)
In the year 1666, Isaac Newton made revolutionary inventions and discoveries in calculus, motion, optics and gravitation. As such, it has later been called Isaac Newton's "Annus Mirabilis." It was in this year when Isaac Newton was alleged to have observed an apple falling from a tree, and hit upon the law of universal gravitation (Newton's apple). He was afforded the time to work on his theories due to the closure of Cambridge University by an outbreak of plague.[4][5]
A series of victories by the British military in 1759 in North America, Europe, India, and in various naval engagements, is occasionally referred to as William Pitt's annus mirabilis, and was the decisive year of the Seven Years' War.[6][7]
For this year the term annus mirabilis is often used. [8] David Hume died in August, but could experience the Independence Day and The Wealth of Nations from Adam Smith.
The year 1905 has very much been linked to the term annus mirabilis, as Albert Einstein made important discoveries concerning the photoelectric effect, Brownian motion and the special theory of relativity as well as the famous E = mc2. His articles, collectively known as his Annus Mirabilis papers, were published in Annalen der Physik in 1905.[9]
This phrase has since been used to refer to other years. The examples here are primarily from the English-speaking world.

Got mine. But nice to meet you.
Welcome! How many firearms does MI allow you to actively conceal carry?
I am actually preparing to move to MI. Taylor side of town. Only problem is, I have not obtained a CPL in Ohio because I knew I was going to be moving relatively close to my 21st birthday. Well, I'm 22 now, still no Ohio CPL, and just recently found out that I have to be an MI resident for 6 months first!!! You heard it here first folks; Michigan doesn't recognize your right to save your own bacon unless you have lived there for at least 6 months (or have a CPL from your previous state of residency)! Total BS! To summarize, I'll look you up in 7 months
Let it not be said that no one cared, that no one objected once its realized that our liberties and wealth are in jeopardy. ---Ron Paul "He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetuate it." ---Dr. Martin Luther King "If you think we are free today, you know nothing about tyranny and even less about freedom." ---Tom Braun
When are you moving? The law allows the gun boards to not require the 6 month wait for conceal permit holders moving from other states. I don't know what Wayne County's position is on that issue. Jump over to migunowners.com and ask the question. Why Taylor? As much as I complain about Belleville, there are some fantastic house prices here. MI firearms laws are screwy, it will really pay to learn the laws inside and out.
You should be fine with that 6 month window. Don't stress it. Just keep a good lookout and you probably won't need firearm protection. Of course, maybe you will...but after moving here from Southeast Alabama, the detroit metro area isn't quite the firestorm I anticipated.
When you do decide to get the CPL, or even before check out the website I posted for good info on MI laws, they are screwy. Top Gun is the Taylor public range, I've never been there, but a lot of people like it, with a few complaints. I belong to Wayne Country Sportsman club, which is primarily a shotgun club. Taylor pistol club is primarily pistols, but their range set up is SWEET.

Tripods can be awkward to carry into the field, yet trekking poles don't have the utility of a tripod. Enter Leupold's® Trek Pod II.
Use it as a height-adjustable trekking pole, and when needed, three legs flair out, making it a free-standing optics mount. Where the tripod meets the pole, there's a pivot that adjusts to uneven terrain. At the top is a powerful, magnetic optics mount, and you get two additional magnets which you can attach to any optics with threaded mounts. It's so secure, you can still walk with your spotting scope or camera still attached to the Trek Pod II. Lightweight, with a dark-brown anodized finish, it's rugged enough to use anywhere.

Windows 7 Ultimate x64, XP Mode, W8.1 Preview VM - 7 Pro x64 second remote tower
Welcome to the Seven Forums! Dexter92
The first thing I would suggest is taking a look in the bios setup to see if the ide mode or AHCI mode is the present drive mode enabled there. If you find it at the AHCI setting you can change that to the ide mode for the immediate resolve or look up the driver sets at the Gigabyte support site since the sata controller drivers usually see the AHCI driver bundled with them. A better program found by the way for burning 7 iso images to disk is the Passcape ISO Burner that will burn reliably at the max burn speed as well as at any slower speed. ImgBurn was originally intended for XP not the newer versions and doesn't even run on any 64bit Windows while the Passcape runs everywhere. http://www.passcape.com/passcape_iso_burner When referring to USB are you talking about a USB Install Key made with flash drive or other method like mounting an iso image or extracting the setup files onto an external drive?

Walkin' Butterfly Book 1
Posted in Manga Reviews on January 14, 2008 by Johannaby Chihiro Tamaki
published by Aurora Publishing; $10.95 US
I'm so glad to see more josei manga titles becoming available. These are books aimed at women, skewing older than the better-known shojo books for girls.
And you'll know that Walkin' Butterfly is for an older reader (it's rated 16+) from the first page, which is a full-body nude image of the protagonist glowering at the reader. It's an appropriate choice, since it sums up the core conflict of the story.
Michiko is very tall, and as a result, she's always stood out. She hates her body and the way it's shaped her life. Yet when she stumbles into a fashion show and is temporarily mistaken for a model, that body might lead her into a different world. After everyone evaluates it down to her pores, of course.
Tamaki's art is sketchy, often resembling fashion drawings, appropriate for her setting. Michiko's internal monologue, necessary to understand her state of mind, is presented in heavy block capitals, which sets it apart from the art. It's not the most elegant choice for the English translation, but it is in keeping with her feeling as a clumsy monster, disrupting the world others have built. The captions hang heavy on the lighter art the same way Michiko stomps through life.
She doesn't realize that she must take responsibility for the life she's living. Sure, she's gawky, but she had friends, until she drove them away with her unpleasantness and stupid choices. She feels unlovable because she was rejected during a schoolgirl crush, due to her height, but she too easily seizes on the evidence that reinforces her poor self-image, ignoring that which offers a different view.
At the same time, feeling trapped in a hated body is a conflict many women can relate to. All of us have had thoughts similar to "if only I was shorter/ taller/ skinnier/ had bigger breasts, they would like me more." Of course that kind of change would make for a different life… but so would a different attitude. (And a world where people didn't feel free to comment on the anatomy of strangers.) She's waiting for someone to change her life for her, some big event to send her in a different direction.
It's odd to see modeling presented as the way out for Michiko, given how often that field is responsible for unrealistic self-images through the exaggerated pictures it feeds the public. But the clothing designer has a good point: no matter whether Michiko meets the physical qualifications for the job or not, she's not going to be good at anything until she knows and accepts herself.
Going from wishing no one saw her to a field where the whole point is to be looked at isn't the magical fix she expects. But she needs some direction, some goal, and it's the only one she's got for now. The next volume, where she begins her career, is when the real struggles start, and I look forward to it.
There's an interview with the author included in this book, and there are preview pages available at the publisher's website. I have reviewed other Aurora titles. (A complimentary copy for this review was provided by the publisher.)

First, she has to learn to be comfortable in her own skin, a challenge symbolized by the artist drawing the character as a full-body nude.

We throw the phrase "end of an era" around a lot, but in the case of the smith county sheriff's race, it's accurate.
For roughly 36 years Smith County has had one Sheriff, J.B.Smith has presided over a department that has seen a lot of changes.
And now, someone else will take the reigns.
There will be a new sheriff, and the voters will have four men to choose from.
Bobby Garman is the chief Deputy in the department.
Larry Smith is a former Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agent.
Chris Green is the former Smith County Game Warden.
And Donn Rust is a businessman and reserve Captain in Constable Precinct 3.
They share their visions for the department in this story.

Living one's values are difficult for any human. Living one's values when those values are idealistic, compassionate, and come from a deep and open heart can be extremely difficult. Life throws "life" at you and you seek to respond in the way that would make you feel proud of yourself.
That doesn't always work.
This morning, an editor from Feministing.com Chloe Angyal published an essay confessing that she's been starving herself. You can read the whole essay here. The tl;dr is that Chloe (I'm calling her Chloe because I've known her socially for years and it feels weird to refer to her in the formal "Angyal") became interested in eating disorders awareness after she became artistic director of her all-girls dance company in college. She made a mandate within the company to stop with negative body-talk and then became involved in a campus eating disorders awareness and prevention group. (Through that group, she met the lovely Courtney E. Martin, who brought her to Feministing.) She's been reading, blogging and editing Feministing for several years.
And for the past two years, she's also been starving herself. Keep reading »

Like you I enjoy the smaller towns in the US and this page is a great illustration of what they can offer. I was fascinated by those early operations and loved the concept of the labyrinth :)
Thanks for you visits! Danville KY does look nice. Thanks for sharing and for the great tips!
Wonderful tribute for July 4th! Labyrinth information is excellent. Enjoyed seeing and reading about the post office, old jail, court house (of course!), and the account of McDowell's operation. Terrific.
I am the first to view this page :)) I am constantly amazed how smaller towns have so much history behind them, thanks for an informative and thorough page!

Porting Linux to the DEC Alpha: The Kernel and Shell
After showing off Linux/Alpha at DECUS, it became clear that some kind of end-user-installable distribution was needed. At that point, Linux/Alpha resembled in some ways the early days of Intel Linux: the "system" consisted of a motley collection of source and binary archives scattered over several FTP sites on different continents. Putting together a running system out of these pieces was a job only a dedicated hacker would be willing to go through with.
One difference between then and now is that now there are high-quality commercial Linux distributions (Plug-And-Play, Red Hat, and Slackware, to name just a few) that can serve as the basis for equivalent Linux/Alpha distributions. We knew, though that it would be some time before these distributions were ported and qualified for Linux/Alpha. In oder to sustain the momentum built up at DECUS, we needed some kind of Linux/Alpha distribution sooner than that. That's when we decided to embark on a project designed to become obsolete: BLADE. BLADE stands for Basic Linux Alpha Distribution Expletive (I picked the name by starting with "LAD" for "Linux Alpha Distribution" and grepping through /usr/dict/words for this combination and playing acronym games with some of the results). BLADE is a Linux/Alpha kit that can be installed without needing to build kernels or use a host development system.
BLADE was designed to be deployed quickly, and it's pretty rough around the edges. There's only one automatic installation script, called install_subset. A lot of steps that are done automatically by other distributions must be handled manually in BLADE. We provide full step-by-step instructions, though, so the user knows what steps need to be taken.
The first release of BLADE (V0.1) provided basic functionality and a development system in character-cell mode. There was no networking, no GUI, and a limited utility set. However, it was self-hosting, and it came with kernel sources and the gnu compiler suite. One could build the kernel or any utilities one desired using BLADE. In fact, we used BLADE V0.1 as our primary development system for BLADE V0.2. BLADE V0.1 was based on a modified 1.2.8 kernel and supported the AXPpci/33 only.
The second release of BLADE (V0.2) added more utilities and networking functionality. Graphics were still not available, but one could perform development and basic networking (ftp, telnet, rlogin) in character-cell mode. BLADE V0.2 was also the first release to support the Linux/Alpha Miniloader (aka MILO/Alpha) on the AXPpci/33. MILO is a drop-in system firmware replacement that allows the user to boot and run Linux without requiring the SRM console firmware. BLADE V0.2 also added a kernel boot disk for the Digital Semiconductor 275-MHz EBPC/64 evaluation motherboard. This is the fastest system to date that supports Linux. BLADE V0.2 is also based on the modified 1.2.8 kernel.
Currently under development is BLADE V0.3. BLADE V0.3 will be based on a 1.3 kernel and will add support for the X window system (see below). It should also support more system types.
Thanks to the tireless efforts of my colleague Jay Estabrook, as of this writing X11R6 is up and running on Linux/Alpha. Most of the standard libraries and client executables are in place. At the present time, only the S3 server has been ported, and it has only been qualified on a few video cards. The current plan is to let this be a sample server and solicit other parties (e.g. the XFree86 Consortium) to port other servers.
One major problem with supporting multiple video cards has to do with the on-board ROM BIOS that many cards have. This BIOS typically contains code to initialize the card and to set video modes. Unfortunately, this BIOS is nearly always written in 80x86 assembly code. To execute it on an Alpha system requires an Intel execution engine. We are investigating several strategies to provide this functionality as part of MILO/Alpha in source form, and rumor has it that our old friend David Mosberger-Tang has made good progress in this area.
As I write this, Linux/Alpha is being exhibited at UNIX Expo in New York City in all of its X-windows glory. We have ported the freeware web-browser chimera, and these systems are available for surfing the web and for connecting to remote systems on the Internet via rlogin, telnet, and ftp. In fact, on setup day several people from non-net-connected boths came by to use these systems to retrieve forgotten files from their home systems. This includes yours truly, embarrassingly enough. We needed to connect to the serial port on our PC64 system to use the ROM debug monitor, but the version of Linux/Alpha on the other system did not have kermit, cu, tip, or any other terminal emulation or serial connection program. No problem: I ftp'ed over to David Mosberger-Tang's archive at ftp.azstarnet.com and retrieved the Linux/Alpha version of kermit. We were in business in a few minutes.
In short, Linux/Alpha is starting to feel like a real Linux system!
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Mc Donalds food is unhealthy and not good. There is absolutely no merit in selling local recipes, they just copy/paste and then mass produce, removing all the taste and the authenticity of the recipe. I had a McShawarma and real shawarmas (had one last week in Paris at al dar, www.aldar.fr, one of the best i ever had), and for me there is no point in buying fake shawarmas (and even fake burgers) from mcdonalds.
Whats wrong with some people here? Lots of touchy acdemics here! Some academics do criticize Mcdonalds and Wal Mart in a silly way- it is fasionable to do it.
McSpicy Paneer does sound delicious. Supply chain is destiny.
Not sure if they still do this, but a decade or two ago east coast Canada got the McLobster. It was basically a hot dog bun packed with lobster.
While McDonalds in Mexico has a special breakfast menu that incorporates elements of Mexican food (and is better than its regular lunch menu, I think), it doesn't really have to do with "respecting local traditions". I wouldnt believe for a second that people here would identify more with McDo as it has the Mexican items in the menu, or that they associate it with Mexican culture or whatever. It's just successful marketing.
HOWEVER, several years ago, a McDo was about to open in downtown Oaxaca (World Heritage Site, and one of the 'most Mexican' places you can think about), and a huge national debate sparked, mostly condemning the idea of placing a McDo in such a place... so, people may embrace the menu, but culture is left aside.
The dumb part on your part is not picking up that the point is an article that starts with "lazy dumb obnoxious XX people" is lazy dumb and obnoxious reporting.
Seems like Schumpeter a blog written by an adolescent.
I feel I speak for many here when I say that the plethora of non-print edition blog posts come packaged with a decrease in quality and editorial oversight. As others have pointed out, the opening line--about 'lazy, dumb and generally obnoxious academics'--leaves a bad taste in the mouth, and, I can only assume, would never have made it into the actual newspaper. I find myself disagreeing, not only with the content, but with the way the content is argued and presented far more in blog posts, and have begun to avoid clicking through even to interesting looking titles.
There is location, location, location, in real estate; in blogs it is content, content, and content. How many people would have failed to read this article had the author not insulted the academic community at large from the first word? I have yet to hear a coherent response to this, for lack of a better word, 'statement', other than several similar responses indicating a distaste for the opening sentence. Of course, there are the "thumbs-up" commenters whom have delegated their discourse to simple concurrence, but I feel they are doing you a disservice by not explaining themselves a bit.
I sense that some academics which have responded similarly have been hurt, personally, because McDonald's is truly oft a target for their corporate angst. Volumes of their work having been spent preaching the horrors of corporate power, they are threatened by this simple message of acknowledgement of achievement. However, cultural sensitivity for this corporation began at home, and is modeled by millions of businesses today, globally.
Best regards and intention that this message motivates you in a positive manner,
>{WHEN lazy, dumb and generally obnoxious academics}
I am lovin it !
are you saying this is good or bad? Or is there a value statement there?
Here in Colombia, the McDonald's menu features no locally inspired items, and is in fact more expensive than in the US ($10 for a combo meal).
However that is probably a good thing. I don't think we need the McArepa or McEmpanada
McPaltas are really good. It is more than a little amazing the random varieites that McDonalds provides in different countries. Some countries are only a little different (Chile) and some are almost entirely different like Taiwan. As a student there at first I only dared to order a big mac, the rest I wasn´t too sure about. Over time I got a lot braver with trying new foods in Taiwan.
I would LOVE if my local McDonalds started serving McArabias, Shogun Burgers, Bulgogi Burgers, and McSpicy Paneer.
I would never have heard about this if the Economist didn't pick up on it. I guess that makes me laz, and dumb. However, I think a person who goes out of their way to make non sequitir complaints about a blog not being a news article is the obnoxious part.
In the future, please consider newspaper reporters are now categorically paid to write reports and to do quick blog spots.
Surely academics are more intelligent and thoughtful than newspaper reporters. What about newspaper reporters who get paid for reporting on other people's reports and also abuse people in other jobs? Hmmmm. How much intelligence, hard work and enlightenment does that require....or......lazy, dumb, and obnoxious perhaps...yes.
but also secure guaranteed supplies of huge quantitities of ingredients
And each tomato, piece of meat, etc., has to taste the same as the one from last week, or at the next franchise restaurant.
This leads to the industrialization of the country's food growers.
Which leads to corporate farming.

The government on Saturday ordered closure of five small and medium private dairy units in Erode for violation of rules.
A team of dairy development officers from Chennai carried out surprise checks at a number of units in the district and shut down five units. Officials said that some of the units had "exceeded the daily processing capacity" and a few others were "unlicensed."
Terming the act unnecessary, milk producers claimed that the government had taken this step in order to increase the supply of milk to the Aavin.
Meanwhile, over 700 dairy farmers were arrested when they blocked the traffic at different parts of the district. Dairy farmers in Nambiyur, Ammapet and a few other places in the district also staged demonstrations.
In Salem, senior functionaries of the Tamil Nadu Milk Producers Welfare Association, which spearheads the indefinite 'stop milk' agitation, were arrested when they attempted to close down the office of Aavin Cooperative Union. The police prevented nearly 150 milk producers and members of the association from laying siege to an Aavin plant at Thalavipatti. They blocked traffic on the Steel Plant Road-Taramangalam Road, raising slogans against the government for not inviting them for talks.

2010 Infiniti G37 Sedan and Coupe
civic2001 Posts: 30
richardnva Richmond, VirginiaPosts: 74I have a '10 G37x and also like to have lights on whenever I drive. I turn my lights on the second setting (first is auto on/off) and this turns on the lights (and fog lights if you want) and they turn off automatically when you shut the car off. You can adjust how long the lights stay on after you shut down the car in the settings menu. This is close to a DRL, the only potential downside is that your using your main headlights all the time, which is more expensive to replace than a secondary light dedicated as a drl. Hope you're enjoying the G.
greenvillesc Posts: 2I have a brand new (less than 2 weeks) Convertible G37 and I love it. However, I had the exact same thing happen with my roof....less than 10 days old and I have two significant dents in my roof and large oily black spots. My Infiniti has basically inferred that I left something in the trunk - and I had forgotten until I read your blog...that my car was also indicating that the trunk was open. So I closed the roof and went to the trunk - it wasn't open and there was nothing in it.....but the next day I saw the dents. I will cost me $500 for this repair....and quite frankly I am pretty upset about this. I do believe it is a significant design flaw, and for a $50K car with many bells and whistles Infiniti should have done a better job of building sensors into the roof and trunk to prevent these issues. My dealership indicated that a beach towel I had in my car could even cause this kind of damage to the roof. I think that is very inadequate performanceof this roof....
tkogrady Posts: 7Sorry to hear about that. Yes - you have to be perfect over the lifetime of the car about leaving nothing in the trunk when you open it. Even the smallest things will jam the roof and cause it to dent. Seriously - a $50K car and they didn't think about putting some kind of protection in to avoid that? Even worse, Infiniti's response was piss poor. I'll vote with my feet and buy a different brand when the time comes.
By the way - have you been getting a lot of creek / gasket rubbing on yours? I expect a certain amount because it's a convertible, but it's loud enough to hear over the stereo. -
greenvillesc Posts: 2Hi - no, no creeking of any nature...in fact everything else about my car is perfect...with exception of the roof issues I had. I really absolutely love the car.
My Infiniti dealership in Greenville, SC fixed the dents in my roof, without charge - they knew I was being very sincere in my accounts of operating the car properly, and felt it was the right thing to do. I am back to being thrilled with my car - and will judiciously watch an negative effects with operating the roof. Since it has been fixed the only thing that has happened is that I was getting a square black grease spot on the top of my roof, on the driver side, the first couple of times I put the roof down, driven and when I got to my destination, closed the roof and there was the black grease spot. I took pictures, it happened twice or so...but not since then. Wishing you luck with yours.... -
tkogrady Posts: 7Infiniti of Willow Grove, PA wouldn't cover mine, so I had to shell out the money to get it fixed. $600 bucks. Makes me even more pissed that they they are now starting to acknowledge it's a problem and fixing it for free. Someone else contacted me via YouTube and told me their dealership also fixed theirs. Despite loose bolts in my roof, they still insist it was my fault.
tkogrady Posts: 7Poodog - if you read my original post - I'm pissed because the first dealer wouldn't fix it (Infiniti of Willow Grove, PA). After I had it fixed and shelled out the $600, the service department at another dealership (Infiniti of West Chester PA) told me I had two loose bolts in the roof. There was reason to believe this was caused by a defect because the sections of the roof shouldn't press together enough to dent the metal. But I now know of at least two other people who have had this problem. So perhaps it is just [non-permissible content removed] design work. I'm sure if you shelled out $50K for a car that could be damaged so easily, you'd feel differently.
fastcarsarefun Posts: 1I am looking at purchasing a 2010 Infiniti G37 and joining the infinity family. I have identified a specific car, but have one remaining concern before sealing the deal. I noticed while I was test driving it, that if I apply some pressure the steering column has about half an inch to an inch of play (i.e. moves up and down a little bit). The salesperson claims that it is natural movement in the gear (like how you can push a car a little bit back and forth when it is in park).
I am concerned that while it isn't much now it might quickly get worse. Does anyone know anything about this? Should I be concerned? Is it normal?

CureSearch for Children's Cancer funds and supportstargeted and innovative children's cancer research with measurableresults, and is the authoritative source of information and resourcesfor all those affected by children's cancer.
A pulmonary function test (PFT) evaluates how well the lungs are working. The test measures how much air the lungs can hold, and how well the child can push air out of his or her lungs.
The above video demonstrates a child performing a pulmonary function test for cancer treatment. This video was designed to educate parents and caregivers by showing actual patients receiving treatment. Our intent with this video is to help you, and your child if you chose to show it to them, understand what will happen with your child has this procedure.
The machine that performs the PFT is sometimes a confined space with clear walls and a seat inside. Your child will be asked wear a nose plug and blow into a plastic mouthpiece connected to the machine. The machine measures the amount of air breathed in and the force of the air breathed out. Your child will probably be asked to repeat the test a few times to get an accurate reading.
This is a painless test and one that does not have side effects. However, pulmonary function tests require the cooperation of the child. Children can begin to perform this test around 7 years of age.

Barca coach Guardiola relies on instinct
16 Nov 2010 - 12:11:39
Barcelona head coach Pep Guardiola says that instinct is more important in his decision-making process than logic or coaching manuals.
The 39-year-old has enjoyed a wealth of success since taking charge at the Camp Nou in the summer of 2008 and has been praised for encouraging an entertaining and attacking style of play.
Guardiola told AS: "I do what I feel. I place more emphasis on instinct rather than logic, for example when making a change of players during a game.
"There are no magic books for coaching. How the team plays, like chess, is the most important thing to being a coach and everything else is secondary.
"Having lost at times I have been more satisfied that when we have won.
"If the team loses, it has been because I have not conveyed my ideas to them correctly."

Book Review: Savvy Cyberkids at Home
by Ben Halpert
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
It's not often I find a successful fiction book that explains complicated adult ideas to children. The last one was Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi: A Math Adventure, a creative story that introduces math concepts like Pi, circumference and radius to young children. I'm not a math teacher, but I can relate that to computer concepts I teach to kindergarten and younger. As with geometry, it's difficult to explain the concept of 'internet safety' to the newest users. Unlike geometry, it must be done as soon as they pick up a mouse and lock their eyes onto the glowing, scintillating screen. Every month, more and more children, younger and younger, play on websites like Jumpstart, Clifford and NickJr. They–of course–trust the adults who love them to keep them safe. Now, we have a tool to do that. (more…)
Do Your Children Need Computers for School?
This is a question I get from parents all the time. Most parents want to get what their child needs as affordably as possible, and don't want to save a few bucks at the expense of their child. If that sounds like you, here are suggestions on how to decide to get one, what type, and what to include:
- Talk to the classroom teacher. What are their expectations of the child? If they're like the ones in my school, they will want him/her to have access to basic software and the internet for research, maybe email. That's it.
- You're wondering whether a laptop or desktop is best? There are lots of reasons why a laptop might be a good decision for your particular family dynamics, but in general terms, a desktop is fine for a younger child (K-5). They don't need to take it to friend's house for group projects much until they reach middle school, and I would not suggest gearing a more-expensive laptop decision around an occasional project. I guarantee, the teacher won't.
- There are other reasons why a desktop is a good decision. It is more durable (it isn't carried around, so can't be dropped). If part breaks (the keyboard, mouse, monitor), you don't have to replace the entire computer–just that part. Because children are tougher on electronics than experienced users (this should be expected), it will make these sorts of problems less dramatic and costly. And, a desktop has a larger hard drive, more memory, bigger screen, and more drives/ports for input devices. That makes it more adaptable to unexpected needs.
- Now you need to select which level of desktop your child requires. Does s/he need the basic $350 on sale version or the everything-in-it upgrade? Start simple. Basic. See what the child uses, what else s/he needs before making an expensive decision. Most kids are fine with the lower end of productivity. Some, though, want the works. You'll know which is right for your child by the time you're ready for an upgrade.

8 Web Tools To Add Pizazz to the End of School
There is no end to the number of online tools available. I get inundated with them by friends (My child wants to use this website. What do you think?), fellow teachers (Would you check this web tool–does it work for literacy?), parents (My child loves this tool. Is it appropriate?). I am always thrilled because introductions through friends and colleagues are much more authentic than through online advertising or an ezine.
When I review a website or app, I take 15-30 minutes to test it out, try to see it through the eyes of the age group that will use it. Here's what I look for:
- Does it have advertising? If so, it needs to be nominal and G-rated. I don't want them to be overbearing or distracting. Worse is if they are inappropriate. I've seen great websites and online tools ruined by objectionable ads.
- Is it intuitive? Students want to be able to figure the program out without being taught. An intuitive website and/or app 1) has an easy-to-understand start-up screen that clearly identifies how to use the tool, 2) the process for using the tool is similar to others the students is familiar with, and 3) the student can independently launch and operate the web tool or app without requiring an adult.
- is it user-friendly? Does its design and layout make students want to accomplish the goals of the program? Are students engaged in the activity, motivated to use the web tool? Is it functional? Is it visually stimulating? Does it require only a nominal amount of reading?
- Does the web tool differentiate for types of students and their unique needs? Sure, there are lots of good web tools appropriate for a certain standard classification of student. What I want is the web tool that can adapt to varying needs.
- Is the tool challenging? Does it require sufficient critical thinking to keep the student engaged or do they get bored quickly?
- Is the web tool compatible with most browsers, most computers? I don't want it so old it won't play well with the type of computer commonly used by students. I also don't want it so specialized that students must buy extra equipment to use it.
- Is the web tool free? That's preferable. There are lots of good web tools that are free to a certain point and charge a fee after that. Depending upon what 'point' that kicks in, I'm OK with that
- Does the web tool encourage higher-order thinking–creativity, evaluation, critical thinking, problem solving?
- Is the web tool or app error-free? This means not only that it's free of spelling and grammar errors, but that it doesn't freeze, stall, shut down, or crash.
- Does the web tool have educational applications? When students are at school, I want to focus on academic endeavors, leaving those more focused on 'play' to the home environment. So many fun programs are also educational, this isn't a high hurdle.
Tech Ed Resources for your Classroom–Tech Curriculum
I get a lot of questions from readers about what tech ed resources I use in my classroom so I'm going to take a few days this summer to review them with you. Some are edited and/or written by members of the Ask a Tech Teacher crew. Others, by tech teachers who work with the same publisher I do. All of them, I've found well-suited to the task of scaling and differentiating tech skills for age groups, scaffolding learning year-to-year, taking into account the perspectives and norms of all stakeholders, with appropriate metrics to know learning is organic and granular.
The first review: the K-8 Technology Curriculum
The K-8 Technology Curriculum is Common Core and ISTE aligned, and outlines what should be taught when so students have the necessary scaffolding to use tech in the pursuit of grade level state standards and school curriculum.
Each book is between 130 and 260 pages and includes lesson plans, assessments, domain-specific vocabulary, problem solving tips, Big Idea, Essential Question, options if primary tech tools not available, posters, reproducibles, samples, tips, enrichments, and teacher preparation. Lessons build on each other kindergarten through 5th grade. For Middle School, they are designed for the grading period time frame typical of those grade levels, with topics like programming, robotics, community service with tech.
Topics include keyboarding, digital citizenship, problem solving, domain-specific vocabulary, and more.
K-5 has a FREE companion wiki with FREE webinars on how to teach each lesson throughout the year and takes questions from anyone who has the curriculum. It's used worldwide by public and private schools and homeschoolers.

Elsevier Acquires Atira, a Provider of Research Management Solutions
Acquisition deepens SciVal's ability to help academic institutions manage and improve research outcomes
Amsterdam, August 15, 2012 - Elsevier, the leading global provider of scientific, technical, and medical information products and services, announced today the acquisition of Atira, a provider of software and tools that help academic institutions and researchers manage and improve their research outcomes. Atira complements Elsevier's SciVal by expanding the scope of data to report on research activities across an academic institution, and by broadening the range of tools and dashboards to analyse those data.
"Universities, research institutes and funding bodies increasingly want to have a clear and holistic view of their research inputs, throughputs and outputs" said Nick Fowler, Elsevier's Managing Director, Academic and Government Institutions. "Atira's software and tools help these institutions get an up-to-date and dynamic picture of their funding sources, research groups, collaborations, publications, citations, and commercial activities. This information helps them to focus and manage resources in order to achieve their desired research outcomes."
Atira's main product, Pure, is a flexible research information system that enables the planning, evaluation and reporting of research activities. Pure accesses, extracts, incorporates and normalizes data from internal data sources such as human resources, finance and grant awards systems, from research projects' progress reports, from subscribed datasets such as Scopus and from other proprietary and public datasets, to enable a complete picture of the research enterprise. Pure makes it easy to aggregate, process and visualize these disparate data sources into dashboards and tools, enabling research leaders to monitor and manage their institutions' research activities and to identify opportunities for improvement, e.g., to win more grants, retain strong performers, and demonstrate impact to attract funding and talent. Funding bodies and government departments also have an increasing thirst to collect, evaluate and analyze data. Pure's tools help support this purpose by helping universities submit data, for example, to national assessment exercises such as the UK's Research Excellence Framework.
"Atira and Elsevier both aim to provide quality information that helps institutions and researchers monitor and manage their research outcomes" said Thomas Jørgensen, Director of Atira. "We are excited to join Elsevier because by leveraging their global reach we can make our solutions available to more academic and government institutions around the world more quickly, while continuing to serve our current markets."
Atira is a Danish company founded in 2002 and operating in Northern Europe. Its technical domain is computer science and software engineering with a focus on server-side software architecture and systems integration. Financial details of the acquisition are not being disclosed.
