SRT (Small Rally Trophy) is a 3D racing game where you race through miniature worlds. Race over a pool table, a kitchen worktop and a study. Race with a blue Ford Mustang against several competitors, beat the competition and improve the fastest time!
Rated 1.5 / 5 stars
reminds me of the classic micromachines to some degree, but with terrible control and semifinished graphics.
Rated 1.5 / 5 stars
Pretty bad. Like N64 graphics without the main components. I got stuck in the sink of the kitchen level and couldn't leave. Needs alot of work before it can be considered good.
Rated 2 / 5 stars
A global score board would make it worth the trouble of having my car constantly veer to the right and then suddenly veer to left a few times before it decides it does not want to veer in either direction and simply wants to lose traction in the rear end. Speaking of worth the trouble...this could be a multi-player hit if you fix the car and add some upgrades.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
The controls are a bit wonky. My car kept trying to go right for some reason. Seems like something I could lose myself in for a few hours, though.
Rated 0 / 5 stars
this game is terrible and its not even the graphics no the car is way to hard to handle and automatically shifts to the right even though most or the turns on any of the three tracks is left. you always win even if you clearly have lost by like three laps. when you reset the car it starts you off in odd places no where near where you were and sometimes in the wrong direction. for example the kitchen level if you fall of the counter anywhere before the ramp it starts you at the ramp where you clearly wouldnt have enough speed to go over it then you fall into the sink which i though was funny cuz you can drive around in the sink all and all the game was just terrible you cant pick your car you get the same crappy mustang there is just so much that could be fixed with this game

Awesome awesome band.
Cool. Doesn't this band have, like, 1,973,882 songs?
sorry, but terrible
More clutch? sweet
Digging: Travis Scott - Days Before Rodeo
Hans would be excited
"sorry, but terrible" You 5'd BTBAM and He Is Legend, your opinion is invalid. Not what I expected, still cool though.
sweet this band can do no wrong
The fairy just suddenly became a dwarf for a moment.
I don't know how could hate Neil Fallon's vocals. The dude is great and a mad frontman.
Neil Fallon is one of the best frontmen of the last 20-25 years, he fucking rules
Digging: Thou / The Body - You, Whom I Have Always Hated
corny? lol wtf.
shut up faggot
The lyrics are met to be not too serious to serious to funny to cheesy to all across the board. And his voice is far from corny, but it is your opinion and your ears.
The song expectedly rules! Clutch for life!
Digging: Hawk Eyes - Everything Is Fine
I love clutch, don't get me wrong. Seen em live prolly 8 or 9 times, would see them again in a heartbeat. But fuck guys, crank out the rock for a change! Something like the songs on pure rock fury or blast tyrant would be nice. The blues thing is wearin thin after 3 albums...
I can't fathom why you'd dislike Neil Fallon, dude is an absolute boss at what he does

Second Column of Figures Following Odds Board: V H R: VARIABLE HANDICAP RATING (Statistical Strength of Traditional Handicapping Data)
Third Column of Figures Following Odds Board: P E P: PROJECTED ENERGY PERFORMANCE (Today's Expected Total Performance Figure)
HANDICAPPING/BETTING NOTES Note the 84<, 81> and 90> on the #2, #4 and #6 horses, respectively. These are top-class 3YOs that improve day to day, mentally and physically, making forecasting their performance more art than science. Bluegrass Singer has earned his rating but very likely has peaked, hence the 84 with less-than sign following. Will Gorgeous Bird to move forward or back? Forward is the more likely development. Frosted may move way up with his new blinkers, but PEPs indicate he has to and is an underlay at early line odds.
In our beta-tests, i.e., actual betting, we discovered that a five-point margin in the PEP gives that runner a significant edge over the competition. Horses within two points are viewed as virtually equal contenders; three points is where separation commences. The study was done going forward from the July, 2014 Saratoga race meet to the present. My personal wagering menu invariably consists of turf and maiden races of any class-maiden allowances preferred; most allowance races, and any stakes event, from listed to graded levels. Our point of emphasis--and where we've enjoyed the most success--is maiden allowances and stakes. I expect that the strike rate may level off but, to date, the win rate is 57%. Invariably, the winners are favored, a surprising number offering betting value, even as strong favorites, with relatively few at odds-on. Of course, I cannot blame anyone who regards that figure with a healthy amount of skepticism. Bettors will have to judge for themselves on the merits.
The best use of the PEPs comes in highly random events where competitive-figure horses at huge prices makes putting up with the chaos worthwhile—if you have the mental fortitude to survive the long droughts that surely will come. Obviously, betting within your means, whatever that is, will keep bettors liquid enough until that illusive score comes. Scores occur infrequently and the empirical evidence informs us that no one knows when it will be. Invariably, however, one can bet that it will. Thus, a long-term mindset is a horseplayer's best friend. This may seem obvious but one should never lose sight of the fact that the majority of longshots finish in-the-money rather than win. And so, bet accordingly, matching up the Projected Energy Performance figure with the early-line and final odds. I always hear the counsel of my late, great friend, Cary Fotias: "In the end, it's about price, not about horse."
Taking Upstart to win, no price restrictions, making exacta key boxes with Itsaknockout and Frosted, and adding Frammento to the super-exotics mix.

Heat wave sweeps across India
Lodhi Gardens is a leafy park in the heart of India's capital and a cool asylum for those wanting to escape the city's bustle.
NEW DELHI – Lodhi Gardens is a leafy park in the heart of India's capital and a cool asylum for those wanting to escape the city's bustle.
But lately, the gardens have been crammed: Delhi is sizzling in a protracted heat wave that's left many of its 18 million residents smouldering, and caused severe power and water shortages.
"We say we are India the shining, an example of progress to the world, and we can't even provide basic services in our capital city," said Shasi, an 18-year-old who spent yesterday afternoon at Lodhi Gardens with her boyfriend. Both wore shirts soaked through with sweat that stuck to their backs.
The crisis has led to many deaths.
Local newspapers report several hundred people in India's northern states have died because of this year's heat wave. Last Friday, a 34-year-old man was killed in Delhi in a "water rage" related fight.
For those griping about Toronto's garbage strike, consider what it has been like in Delhi the past few weeks: Most afternoons, the temperature fluctuates between 41C and 43C under a white-hot sky, and some parts of the city have gone without power for as long as 12 hours at a time.
In Gurgaon, a suburb advertised by developers as an escape from Delhi's congestion, blackouts have left some residents sleeping in their air-conditioned cars.
Even as it prepares to host the Commonwealth Games next year, many Delhi neighbourhoods don't have water pipes, which means residents typically wait hours for a water tanker. When the trucks do arrive, fights often break out.
Several government and power company offices have been stormed by protesters and on Saturday, an office of the local power company was ransacked.
Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit has pleaded for calm and ordered power companies to rotate blackouts through the city, leaving no neighbourhood without power for more than an hour at a time.
And water is in short supply.
While Delhi treats and distributes about 1.3 billion litres of water a day – 170 litres a person – it isn't distributed equally through the city. Haryana, a neighbouring state, supplies Delhi with a further 98 litres of water per day per person, but is now threatening to cut off supplies because of the water shortage.
Indian scientists have started to seed clouds with rain-inducing chemicals, and Andhra Pradesh, a state in southern India, has ordered churches, mosques and temples to pray for rain.
Sanjay Kaul, president of People's Action, a conglomerate of resident welfare associations, says it's no surprise Delhi is so ill-equipped to deal with the hot temperatures.
While the city is accustomed to ovenlike weather – past heat waves were so bad, there were reports of birds dropping dead from trees – the influx of migrants has been too much for the city to handle.
"It's shameful," he says. "The government can go out to all the slums and make sure these people are able to vote for them, but they aren't able to make sure they have water? We have spent millions of dollars to hold the Commonwealth Games next year, an 11-day event, but over the past decade we have not built a single new electricity plant in Delhi?"
Yesterday, rain arrived in parts of Delhi, but Kaul says it's not enough.
"We just can't keep going year to year telling people to wait for the monsoon," he says. "For centuries, this city's builders knew enough to construct with high ceilings and courtyards, building to the east, away from the afternoon sun.
"But now, we have a city where government lets builders build floor upon floor and cut down the little green cover we have left. It's not going to get better."

Medicare Physician Payments:
Fees Could Better Reflect Efficiencies Achieved When Services Are Provided Together
GAO-09-647: Published: Jul 31, 2009. Publicly Released: Aug 31, 2009.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-7029
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Medicare's physician fees may not always reflect efficiencies that occur when a physician performs multiple services for the same patient on the same day, and some resources required for these services do not need to be duplicated. In response to a request from Congress, GAO examined (1) the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS) efforts to set appropriate fees for services furnished together and (2) additional opportunities for CMS to avoid excessive payments when services are furnished together. GAO examined relevant policies, laws, and regulations; interviewed CMS officials and others; and analyzed claims data to identify opportunities for further savings.
CMS has taken steps to ensure that physician fees recognize efficiencies that occur when certain services are commonly furnished together, that is, by the same physician to the same beneficiary on the same day, but has not targeted services with the greatest potential for savings. CMS is reviewing the efforts of a workgroup created by the American Medical Association/Specialty Society Relative Value Scale Update Committee (RUC) in 2007 to examine potential duplication in resource estimates for services furnished together. However, the RUC workgroup has not focused on services that account for the largest share of Medicare spending. For this and other reasons, its methodology to identify and review services furnished together likely will result in limited savings. The workgroup's process is also resource intensive because it depends on input and consensus from specialty societies. Independent of the RUC, CMS has implemented a multiple procedure payment reduction (MPPR) policy for certain imaging and surgical services when two or more related services are furnished together. Under an MPPR, the full fee is paid for the highest-priced service and a reduced fee is paid for each subsequent service to reflect efficiencies in overlapping portions of the practice expense component--clinical labor, supplies, and equipment. For example, a nurse's time preparing a patient for a medical procedure or technician's time setting up the required equipment is incurred only once. The MPPR produced savings of about $96 million in 2006 for imaging services. However, the scope of the policy is limited because the policy does not apply to nonsurgical and nonimaging services commonly furnished together, nor does it specifically reflect efficiencies occurring in the physician work component--the financial value of a physician's time, skill, and effort. For example, when two services are furnished together, a physician reviews a patient's medical records once, but the time for that activity is generally reflected in fees paid for both services. CMS has additional opportunities to reduce excess physician payments that can occur when services are furnished together and Medicare's fees do not reflect the efficiencies realized. GAO's review found that expanding the MPPR to reflect practice expense efficiencies that occur when nonsurgical, nonimaging services are provided together could reduce payments for these services by an estimated one-half billion dollars annually. GAO's review also indicated that expanding the existing MPPR policy to reflect efficiencies in the physician work component of certain imaging services could reduce these payments by an estimated additional $175 million annually. Under the budget neutrality requirement, by law, savings from reductions in fees are redistributed by increasing fees for all other services. Thus, these potential savings would accrue as savings to Medicare only if Congress exempted them from the budget neutrality requirement, as was done in the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 for savings from the changes to certain imaging services fees.
Matter for Congressional Consideration
Status: Open
Comments: Congress has exempted certain savings from the implementation of multiple procedure payment reductions (MPPR) for diagnostic imaging and therapy services from the budget neutrality requirement, as GAO suggested in July 2009.1 However, other policies that may result in a reduction in payments for the professional component for imaging services remain subject to budget neutrality; "savings" from these services are redistributed to other services and do not accrue to the Medicare program. MPPRs or other policies that may result in a reduction to payments for the technical component for diagnostic cardiovascular and ophthalmology services are also subject to budget neutrality for 2014. Unless Congress exempts from the budget neutrality requirement savings realized from the implementation of all MPPRs or other policies that reflect efficiencies occurring when services are furnished together, these savings will not accrue to the Medicare program. [1] Under federal law, annual adjustments to physician services may not differ by more than $20 million from what Medicare would have otherwise paid. Congress has exempted MPPRs for certain imaging and therapy services from this requirement. See the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Pub. L. No. 111-148, Section 3135(b), 124 Stat. 119, 437 (2010) (codified, as amended, at 42 U.S.C. Section 1395w-4(c)(2)(B)(v)(VI)) (exempting the increase in MPPRs on the technical component for imaging services on contiguous body areas from 25 to 50 percent effective for fee schedules beginning in 2010); The Physician Payment and Therapy Relief Act of 2010, Pub. L. No. 111-286 Section 3(b), 124 Stat. 3056 (2010) (codified, as amended, at 42 U.S.C. Section 1395w-4(c)(2)(B)(v)(VII)) (exempting the MPPR for the practice expense component for certain therapy services for fee schedules beginning in 2011).
Matter: To ensure that savings are realized from the implementation of an MPPR or other policies that reflect efficiencies occurring when services are furnished together, Congress may wish to consider exempting these savings from budget neutrality.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: CMS has taken several steps to implement MPPRs to capture efficiencies that occur when services are performed by the same physician for the same beneficiary on the same day, as GAO recommended in July 2009. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act requires that the Secretary of Health and Human Services identify potentially misvalued codes by examining multiple codes that are frequently billed in conjunction with furnishing a single service. In implementing this provision in 2011, CMS expanded the imaging MPPR to the technical component of additional imaging services (i.e., the portion of the payment that covers the actual performance of the service) and implemented a 25 percent MPPR for the practice expense component for certain therapy services. The Physician Payment Therapy and Relief Act of 2010 subsequently reduced the MPPR for these therapy services from 25 to 20 percent. However, under the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, Congress increased the MPPR for therapy services to 50 percent for services provided on or after April 1, 2013. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that this MPPR increase will save $1.8 billion over 10 years. Furthermore, in 2012, CMS implemented a 25 percent MPPR for the physician work component of certain imaging services (i.e., the portion of the payment that covers a physician?s work). On the basis of its analysis of services that are commonly furnished together, CMS is implementing an MPPR for the technical component for certain diagnostic cardiovascular tests and diagnostic ophthalmology procedures for 2013. In addition, in 2013, CMS is applying the MPPR for imaging services to services furnished in the same session by physicians in the same group practice. As a result of CMS's actions, the Medicare physician fee schedule better reflects efficiencies that occur when certain services are provided together.
Recommendation: The Acting Administrator of CMS should take further steps to ensure that fees for services paid under Medicare's physician fee schedule reflect efficiencies that occur when services are performed by the same physician to the same beneficiary on the same day. These efforts could include (1) systematically reviewing services commonly furnished together and implementing an MPPR to capture efficiencies in both physician work and practice expenses, where appropriate, for these services; (2) focusing on service pairs that have the most impact on Medicare spending; and (3) monitoring the provision of services affected by any new policies it implements to ensure that physicians do not change their behavior in response to these policies.

Edler won't change playing style, despite three suspensions in eight months
Oct 18, 2013, 6:52 PM EST
Alex Edler has been suspended three times for a total of nine games in the last eight months, but says those punishments won't alter his approach.
"I'm not going to change the way I play," Edler told The Province on Friday. "I look at myself as a clean player and I try to play aggressive and that's when I'm at my best."
The 27-year-old defenseman is eligible to return from a three-game ban on Saturday against Pittsburgh, a suspension received following a headshot on Sharks rookie Tomas Hertl on Oct. 10.
The three-game punishment was made in part because Edler had a previous blemish on his disciplinary record — a two-game ban for charging Phoenix goalie Mike Smith in March.
But those weren't all of Edler's disciplinary problems.
The Swede was also punished in international play, getting four games for going knee-on-knee with Canada's Eric Staal during the 2013 World Hockey Championships. Edler sat out the last two games of the tournament, then was dinged for two more following a secondary IIHF hearing.
Despite the three strikes on his record, Edler vows his game will go unchanged.
That's music to the ears of his head coach.
"I would teach that play to all our defencemen," John Tortorella said of the check Edler put on Hertl. "The one he was suspended on we're teaching that.
"The league just happens to believe it's suspendable."

Ahmadinejad vows to keep enriching uranium
No offer from world powers can persuade Iran to stop enriching uranium, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said yesterday, dismissing the key demand of countries that fear Tehran is developing nuclear weapons.
A day after the UN atomic watchdog said it had new evidence of possible military dimensions to Iran's nuclear work, Ahmadinejad accused it of doing Washington's bidding and said Tehran's atomic advances had "no brake and no reverse gear".
The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Yukiya Amano, said on Monday that the IAEA had received "further information... that seems to point to the existence of possible military dimensions to Iran's nuclear programme".
That contradicts Iran's insistence that its nuclear work is for entirely peaceful purposes, and Ahmadinejad made clear his displeasure with the Japanese IAEA chief, who has taken a blunter approach than his Egyptian predecessor Mohamed ElBaradei. "With America's orders [the IAEA] has written some things in a report that are against the law and against the agency's regulations," Ahmadinejad told reporters.
"These have no legal value and aside from harming the agency's reputation it will have no other effect."
Tehran says sanctions imposed by Washington, Europe and the United Nations are not hitting its economy and insists they will not force it to give up what it considers its sovereign right to enrich uranium, a process that can make fuel for power plants or, by enriching uranium more highly, provide bomb material.
"I have said before that Iran's nuclear train has no brake and no reverse gear... We will continue our path," Ahmadinejad said, adding that Iran would continue to co-operate with the IAEA "as long as they move based on justice".

Crowd attends Vt. hearing on gun control measuresJanuary 28,2014
The Associated Press
BURLINGTON -- Participants at a public hearing on three gun-control resolutions facing voters in Burlington, Vt., have questioned how the changes would be enforced.
A crowd attended the last public hearing on the subject Monday night at City Hall, before a town meeting vote in March, WCAX-TV reports.
People were asked to show their support for speakers by raising their hands. They went up mainly by people who opposed the proposal.
The measures would allow police to seize guns in cases of suspected domestic abuse, ban firearms in bars and require gun owners to keep their weapons locked up at home.
If voters accept the measures, they would have to be approved by the state Legislature.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The Vermont House has advanced a wide-ranging bill that pushes utilities other than...

FOX 66 News at Ten
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP)
— Missouri's attorney general has asked a federal court to strike down a
California law regulating the living conditions of chickens, setting up a
cross-country battle that pits new animal protections against the economic
interests of Midwestern farmers.
The lawsuit by Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster takes aim at a California
law set to take effect in 2015 that prohibits eggs from being sold there if
they come from hens raised in cages that don't comply with California's new
size and space requirements.
Koster said Tuesday that the California law infringes on the interstate
commerce protections of the U.S. Constitution by effectively imposing new
requirements on out-of-state farmers.
"If California legislators are permitted to mandate the size of chicken
coops on Missouri farms, they may just as easily demand that Missouri soybeans
be harvested by hand or that Missouri corn be transported by solar-powered
trucks," Koster said.
Missouri's lawsuit was filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Fresno, Calif.
California Attorney General Kamala Harris declined to comment on the suit
But the Humane Society of the United States, which campaigned for the ballot
initiative, said in a statement that states have the right to pass laws that
protect the health and safety of their residents. Jennifer Fearing, the group's
senior state director for California, said eggs produced from hens in
"battery cages" have a higher risk of salmonella contamination.
"Attorney General Koster's lawsuit targeting California's laws, filed just
to curry favor with big agribusiness, threatens state laws across the country
dealing with agriculture and food safety," she said.
California voters approved a ballot initiative in 2008 that required egg-laying
hens, pigs and calves to be raised with enough space to allow the animals to
lie down, stand up, turn around and fully extend their limbs. The measure gave
farmers until 2015 to comply with the provisions.
After voters approved the initiative, concerns were raised that the measure
would put California egg farmers at a competitive disadvantage with
counterparts in other states.
In 2010, California legislators expanded the law to ban in that state the sale
of eggs from any hens that were not raised in compliance with California's
animal care standards. The California law cites concerns about protecting
people from salmonella and other illnesses.
But the Missouri lawsuit said the real intent was to protect California farmers
from being put at a disadvantage with their counterparts in other states.
U.S. Rep. Jared Huffman, a California Democrat who wrote the legislation when
he was in the state Legislature, also declined to comment Tuesday.
Missouri farmers produce about 1.7 billion eggs annually and sell about one-third
of those — about 540 million eggs — in California, according to Koster's
lawsuit. He said that makes Missouri the second-largest egg exporter to
California, behind only Iowa.
Many of Missouri's hens are raised in tight cages that won't meet California's
new standards. Koster said Missouri farmers would have to spend about $120
million to remodel their cages or forgo sales to one of their most important
markets, which could force some Missouri egg producers out of business.
Farm Sanctuary, an animal rescue and protection group based in Watkins Glen,
N.Y., was among the organizations that helped fund the campaign for the
California ballot initiative.
"It's a real embarrassment for the state of Missouri that Mr. Koster would
defend a practice that is horribly abusive of animals with a legal theory that
is tilting at windmills," said Bruce Friedrich, a senior policy director
at Farm Sanctuary.
Missouri Farm Bureau President Blake Hurst praised the lawsuit as an important
legal challenge. He said the California law, if upheld, could set a precedent
in which the biggest states can effectively set agricultural policies for all
the states.
"A pretty good tradition in this country that's worked pretty well is that
we have free trade among the states, and we would not want to see that
changed," Hurst said.

Your Turn: Playing the post-nuptial name game
What's your take on the post-nuptial name game? Who, if anyone, should change their surname after the I Dos are done?
One-named wonder Beyonce is calling her 2013 world tour The Mrs. Carter Show. The singer's full married name is Knowles-Carter, as is hubby Jay-Z's -- but statistics suggest the small number of women who keep their maiden names after marriage has been shrinking for the past two decades – at least in the United States.
The Free Press is taking a closer look at the issue. Answer our poll question -- then share your personal experience or opinion on name-changing or name-keeping by emailing email@example.com.
We're looking for opinions from both same-sex and opposite-sex couples, as well as couples with different surnames who have children.

text: Alone in the WoodsAlone in the WoodsOn a long and winding country road, a very out-of-place sports car traveled down the gravel and dirt path before coming to a stop at the only sign of civilization for miles. It was a small gas stop/diner combination that looked a little out of time in the modern world but had a certain rustic charm to it. At least that's what the driver of the bright red car thought as she stepped up to the gas pump. She tipped her sunglasses down as she noticed a few of the diner's patrons staring at her through the window. No doubt because they hadn't seen a newcomer come through here in awhile. Well and the tight black "What Happens In Vegas..." shirt she had on that showed off her ample bosom. Feeling a bit flirty, she took the handle of the pump and bent over slightly as she suggestively slipped the nozzle into the hole, showing that her jeans were just as tight as her shirt. She smirked a bit as she felt their eyes on her then quickly turned

Translate Vietnamese Diploma
"I needed my college diploma translated for a visa application. I consulted several translation services and most of them gave me a quote of 50 to 150 dollars to translate my one-page document! Not to mention a wait time of a week or more. When I found Rev the low price and 24-hour turnaround time seemed to good to be true, but I received a professional, accurate translation within a day of submitting my document online. I couldn't be happier!"

Demo Impressions: Wheelman
I liked Vin Deisel in Saving Private Ryan. Beyond that I didn't really absorb his appeal. He's still working though, and stars in two games being released with in the next two months. The Wheelman demo was pretty fun and sort of reminded me of Burnout meets Driver meets GTA. The graphics were okay, nothing standout but the colors were bright and slightly stylized. The best thing about Wheelman so far is the use of the right analog to smash into other cars. You face a ton of cops in the demo and it feels quite unique to use the right analog to push them into oncoming traffic or into walls etc. You also have some specialty slow motion moves reminiscent of True Crime: Streets of LA where you spin the car around backwards and move your reticle over the right spot and take out fools. Animations of cop cars exploding and wiping out got stale quick and the driving felt very floaty at best. Beyond that you have your turbo button and can also shoot from the car. The demo contains an intro style campaign mission mode and two side missions that you can try three times each. The Barcelona setting is a cool spot for a game like this but "wheel" it keep our attention through the whole thing? Set for a March 24th release on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC platforms.

RDS, a rig design and engineering subsidiary of international drilling contractor KCA Deutag, has been awarded a $10 million contract to carry out front-end engineering design (FEED) work on Statoil's Johan Sverdrup development in the Norwegian North Sea. The FEED work will be undertaken by the RDS team in London through a subcontract with Aker Solutions for full front end engineering of the drilling facilities throughout the platform. Whilst RDS has worked with most of the major topsides contractors in London and Houston, this will be its first contract with Aker Solutions. Simon Drew, Senior Vice President of RDS said, "This will be the fourth major Statoil project we are currently working on from our London office. We have developed a strong relationship with Statoil through the high quality of Greenfield projects delivered in London and our strong focus on project execution from our offices in Norway." rdsoil.com

Is it safe to use nickel on an amber babies teething ring?
I'm interested in purchasing amber teething rings for babies. I have seen some from India which include nickel on the mouthpiece and decorative amber beads. I was told nickel is a safe metal and we require small amounts in the body like copper and zinc. Is the information I've been given true or false?
I doubt it is safe for babies to chew on. Many people have a nickel allergy - this is why a lot of jewellery is now marked 'nickel-free' - and it can cause a severe rash on contact. (I have this allergy and cannot wear some types of jewellery, watches, or even jeans where the button comes into contact with my skin without getting an itchy raised rash.) My opinion would be that it is not appropriate for teething rings, especially as many people like to sterilise these for their babies - I doubt that being immersed in sterilising fluid would do the amber much good either.
