Mine sounds exciting but in truth i spend a lot of the time alone on the road with two dogs asleep in the back and having to deal with crap weather and dodgy people doing dodgy things.
I'm around my dogs so much I've even started smelling musty like them
January 14, 2013, 8:15 pm
@Martyntdci, it is possible the only problem you will have is a bit more lag as the turbo is actually a tiny bit bigger
January 14, 2013, 8:20 pm
this would be, where the cold air feed comes in, and a stage 2 re-map
January 14, 2013, 8:24 pm
Don't know much about the remapping mate but the turbo will fit, that it's bigger would mean that it would take alot more exhaust fumes to get it spinning, so possibly a remap may sort that but as I said don't know too much about the remapping

More power please,
I dont have much lag since the remap, and would probably require 110cc injectors and bigger intercooler too but would be interesting to see how much for an upgrade and if one is available.
Sorry to be off topic guys.

Will have a check for you Lenny, may be a couple of days or so before any reply or feedback on this ok?
January 15, 2013, 1:45 pm
Lenny possibilities for a turbo would be the Garrett GT1548 Which has a displacement of between 1.0ltr to 1.6ltr and horsepower between 100-200 or also the Garrett GT2052 which has a displacement of 1.4ltr to 2.0ltr and horsepower between 140-230.
The current turvo in your 1.6TDCi is the Garrett 1544V.
Hope this helps

Thats fairly cheap asfar as a full repipe and system upgrade is concerned. One thing I would recommend with combi boilers is dont be a skin flint when it comes to the boiler. You might save some money in the short term but you'll lose out on a furtune in parts in just a few years. Id recommend sticking to Potterton, Baxi, Glowworm, Worcester or Vailliant. Potterton are owned by baxi and are generally the exact same boilers as their baxi counterparts but tend to be alot cheaper but just as good. You pay for the name sometimes
January 15, 2013, 11:02 pm
Yep, new combi, 10 radiators and all pipework too for £1500 but the radiators are all top spec ones.

Switzerland is a medium-sized country in the Holy Roman Empire, beginning with 5 provinces. This makes it the fourth largest independent nation in the HRE. Austria, Bohemia, and Savoy are the largest respectively. In 1444, Switzerland has cores on Savoy's provinces Vaud and Wallis. It is one of the few administrative republics in the 1444 start date.
Switzerland is faced with one major enemy in the beginning: Savoy. It is recommended for the player to ally with Milan, Burgundy, France, or Austria in an attempt to destroy the Savoyard menace. It is in the best interest of the player to 'retake' the western part of modern day Switzerland, followed by the vassalization of Savoy. From there, there are three main options that a Swiss player will encounter.
Invading Burgundy or France[edit]
French and Burgundian land are perhaps the best provinces in the game. However, it is necessary to first defeat the French inhabitants. This is only possible for a Swiss player to achieve if Burgundy or France are at war with each other or with the English. This is the riskiest strategy, but it has the highest payoff.
Invading Italy[edit]
After securing Savoy, the next logical step may be to push into the boot of Italy. This decision is probably the best of the three choices, as it allows for a Swiss naval force as well as expanding out of the HRE in due time. However, the Italians are not initially a culture that Switzerland accepts. Over time, the high naval forcelimit and base tax of Italy will allow for the Swiss to catapult into Germany.
Invading Germany[edit]
Invading Germany after the vassalization of Savoy could eventually lead into the formation of Germany. However, the player will be left with little to no ports and he/she may incur the wrath of the Holy Roman Emperor or of any border nation like Burgundy or France. The best part of this plan is that Switzerland is already German, so expanding into fellow German provinces is fairly logical.

County approves addition RCMP position for Airdrie Rural divisionBy: Sara Wilson | Posted: Thursday, Mar 20, 2014 01:28 pm Rocky View County (RVC) council unanimously approved to sign the RCMP Enhanced Policing Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the Airdrie Rural Response Area on March 11. The MOU authorizes a policing position to be stationed with the Airdrie Rural RCMP detachment, a position that is paid by the County. The Airdrie Rural detachment has eight members and covers Crossfield and Balzac. The position will cost the County $145,000 over two years and is included in the base budget. This is the second MOU between the Airdrie Rural RCMP detachment and the County. �We shouldn�t be using tax dollars to police provincial highways,� Balzac Councillor Lois Habberfield said. �(The policing position) needs to be more present in Rocky View County. (Policing the highways) is not what were trying to achieve with this position.� This position is not strictly designated to traffic duties, county administration explained, but added the officer will help with policing operations within the Airdrie Rural detachment. The position was approved and is affective immediately. Comments

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Good Friday: Behold the Wood of the Cross
By Randy Sly
April 7th, 2012 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) Crosses come in all sizes, shapes and material. Some are jeweled, others are intricately carved. Good Friday brings us back to the reality that it is about a wooden cross and, more importantly, about the One who died upon it. WASHINGTON, DC (Catholic Online) - When Catholics and Protestants have opportunities to talk about their Christian faith, at some point the topic will turn to the crucifix versus the cross. The Protestant argument usually ends (or sometimes begins) with the words - "but don't you know that Christ was raised from the dead?"Apart from the fact that, yes. we know that. we believe that with all of hearts. That particular question does not really address the real issue. In a few such conversations I confess that I have defaulted to an equally inane response. "Well, if you really want to celebrate the fact that Jesus rose from the dead, why don't you wear an empty tomb around your neck?" By the way, a few years ago I did a web search and found a company called Empty Tomb Jewelry. Case closed! Seriously though, the issue of the cross and the crucifix is one that points to an important point. The cross has absolutely no significant apart from the One who hung upon it the first Good Friday. Countess lives were lost on the cross over a large span of time. It was the "torture of choice" for the Romans and yet those deaths did not give rise to any embrace of this image. In his meditations for the Way of the Cross, which he wrote while still a cardinal in 1976, Blessed John Paul II says, "'They have pierced my hands and feet, I can count all my bones.' (Ps 22:16-17). "'I can count...' How prophetic were these words! And yet we know that this body is a ransom. The whole of this body, its hands, its feet, its every bone, is a priceless ransom. The Whole Man is in a state of utmost tension: his bones, his muscles, his nerves, his every organ and every cell, is stretched and strained to breaking-point. 'I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself.' (Jn 12:32) "These words express the full reality of the crucifixion. And part of this reality is the terrible tension penetrating Christ's hands, feet and every bone: driving its way into the entire body which, nailed like a mere thing to the beams of the Cross, is about to be utterly annihilated in the convulsive agony of death. "And the whole of the world, which Jesus wills to draw to himself, enters into the reality of the Cross. The world is dependent on the gravitational pull of this body, which inertia now causes to sink lower and lower." On Good Friday we venerate this cross - a word that means honor, esteem, adoration, or regard very highly. Yet, the liturgy betrays the reason. "Behold the wood of the Cross on which hung the salvation of the world." The cross alone is a wonderful Christian symbol, but leaves no challenge to the beholder. Crosses are worn by people of all walks of life and all conditions of life. It has become an item of adornment as well as a Christian symbol. The scandal begins when Salvation is hung upon it. The crucifix calls people to a decision. a decision about the Lord Jesus Christ, who hung upon the Cross, becoming the salvation of the world. People must choose what to do about Him, whether to accept His death and, with it, the fullness of all that He revealed, or to reject Him. A nineteenth century Baptist evangelist, D.L. Moody, captured the heart of this confrontation in a sermon entitled "What Think Ye of Christ?" He guided his hearers through a serious of interviews, including those who were present for His passion and death. To each one - the Pharisees, Caiaphas, Pilate, Judas, the Centurion at the cross, the Apostles - he asked the key question, "What think ye of Christ?" Each one answered in kind. The crucifix continues to call us, Catholic, Protestant, and all the sorts and conditions of humanity, to respond. Our response should not just be based on what is found in our liturgies, but more importantly what is found in our hearts. It is there, in the very core of our being that the question must be settled. When speaking to 7,000 young Catholics in the Archdiocese of Madrid two years before World Day in 2011, the Holy Father declared, "Christ defeated sin and death by the total giving of Himself. For this reason, we must embrace and adore the Lord's cross, make it our own, accept its weight as Simon of Cyrene did, in order to participate in the only thing that can redeem all of humanity." On the Good Friday before his death, Blessed John Paul II was too weak to attend the liturgy He sent the faithful a person message, which, in part, said, "The adoration of the Cross directs us to a commitment that we cannot shirk: the mission that St Paul expressed in these words: "[I]n my flesh I complete what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the Church" (Col 1:24). "I also offer my sufferings so that God's plan may be completed and his Word spread among the peoples. I, in turn, am close to all who are tried by suffering at this time. I pray for each one of them. "On this memorable day of Christ's crucifixion, I look at the Cross with you in adoration, repeating the words of the liturgy: 'O crux, ave spes unica!' Hail, O Cross, our only hope, give us patience and courage and obtain peace for the world!" What do we think of Christ? What place does He really occupy in our lives? How profoundly does His passion, death, resurrection, and revelation impact me? During Lent the Church visits the Christ's Passion and Death through the Stations of the Cross. Each each station the minister says, "We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you." To which we respond, "Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world." This is why we don't wear an empty tomb around our necks. Resurrection without a Redeemer is merely a restoration of life. When the cross is added, it is for the life of the world! ----- Randy Sly is the Associate Editor of Catholic Online and the CEO/Associate Publisher for the Northern Virginia Local Edition of Catholic Online (http://virginia.catholic.org). He is a former Archbishop of the Charismatic Episcopal Church who laid aside that ministry to enter into the full communion of the Catholic Church.

he meeting that Pepe Fanjul Jr. skipped, the one that could decide the fate of the family's development plans, began with a falsehood. Cantens, the Fanjuls' spokesman, explained Pepe Fanjul's absence. "A worker severed his hand today, and Pepe went to handle it. He wanted to be here, but..."
Across from him at the blond wood table in a Boca Raton law office sat Rosa Durando, the 78-year-old environmentalist with the power to help get the Fanjuls their new development. A former horse trainer, Durando regularly lectures elected officials publicly over development projects and has earned respect as someone who's willing to compromise. Others will refuse all new development, while Durando has sought middle ground. The Fanjuls want her backing. Convincing her means possibly convincing many in the environmental community -- and perhaps swaying the County Commission to put Scripps on Fanjul land.
To persuade Durando, the Fanjuls sent an impressive three-man team -- the trio's prestige further proof of the Fanjuls' ability to enlist high-powered talent in their cause. On her right sat Samuel E. Poole III, a former executive director of the South Florida Water Management District, who recently joined the Fanjuls. Across from her were Cantens and Michael Davis, a consultant hired by the Fanjuls to draw up the plans. Davis once earned respect among conservationists for running Everglades restoration for the Army Corps of Engineers. The three wore dark slacks and white dress shirts with no tie. They carried legal pads and rolled maps and graphics of the proposals. Meanwhile, Durando, looking grandmotherly in flower-print pants and purple top, plopped down a tattered notebook, a long shoelace tied to the spine so it doesn't get lost among her home's stacks of papers.
Davis spoke first: "They're willing to use their land as an example of how to do a green community. I think we're talking about a community like we haven't seen in Florida."
Durando answered with a diatribe on the water management board, then on lazy politicians, and then the history of Everglades restoration. For the next 16 minutes, the three men nodded along with her, inserted polite giggles, and even paid close attention as she complained about kids joy-riding on country roads and the planned cemetery near her house. In the end, though, she went back to her usual critical ways. "We'll have to see what you propose pretty explicitly," Durando demanded, banging her bony finger into an artist's rendering of the plans. It showed a flow-way of water with two arrows pointing into preserve lands to the south. "I'm going to hold off on final determination unless you have something better than a couple of squiggly arrows."
The Fanjul team feared defeat. "Well, why wait?" Poole asked. "This is the public-private partnership we need to use as the right model and duplicate it elsewhere."
Durando interrupted, "People tell me that this ought to be the last stand." She explained that environmentalists have chastised her for even talking with the Fanjuls. Groups including 1000 Friends of Florida and the Environmental and Land Use Law Center fear that the Fanjul project could lead to massive urban sprawl and doom Everglades restoration. A community in the western Palm Beach County expanse would be smack in the middle of preservation lands to the north and south. But Durando acknowledged that the Fanjul plan might be the best option. Buying the land outright for preservation would be too costly, so if development is coming, perhaps this is best.
Davis chimed in: "The Fanjul family wants to do something good here, and I think that they mean it. These lines are not just smoke and mirrors."
Still, Durando held off her backing. "I want to see something on paper, something that guarantees to me that you are going to do what you're saying here."
That's what essentially ended the meeting. The Fanjul folks changed the subject. A promise, especially on paper, was apparently too much to ask. Cantens suggested maybe Durando could set up another meeting, next time bringing other environmentalists. "We'll have it at your place," Poole added.
"We'll see," Durando said, looking a bit tired as the party headed to the elevators. "We'll see about all this."
hen the County Commission met August 17 to consider the Fanjuls' land as the new home to Scripps, everything seemed to fall into place. Their campaign donations, their lobbying efforts, their attempts at convincing environmentalists that they could be trusted -- all seemed to have worked. Mary McCarty, who's received $4,000 in donations from the Fanjuls just since 2002, more than any other commissioner, noted that the Fanjul property was the best fit for Scripps. Commissioner Tony Masilotti, recipient of $1,000 in Fanjul money, noted that the land is destined to be developed. "We need to look in the future," he said.
Then, Rosa Durando pulled the podium microphone down to her level. "It would be best to work out a deal with Mr. Fanjul," Durando told the commissioners. "It's the only plan that offers some environmental benefit."
Not long after Durando spoke, Fanjul spokesman Cantens crept out of the commission chambers and back to the Florida Crystals headquarters at 1 N. Clematis St. He left because, in a tactical move, the Fanjuls had quietly withdrawn their proposal to turn sugar land into a headquarters for Scripps. The Fanjuls had learned that during a closed-door meeting, Scripps had told county officials that it didn't want to locate on the Fanjuls' property. There were too many environmental concerns, and the location was too far west. If the Fanjuls had gone forward with their proposal, it would have surely resulted in a failed bid. Instead, they'll come back without Scripps and without a botched plan behind them.

[Abstract]: A method is described for controlling sugar cane loss during harvesting. In a mechanical harvester, unwanted leaf material is separated from sugarbearing cane in an air-stream, and waste material is thrown back onto the field. Up to ten percent of the cane harvested is also lost, and this can represent up to fifty million dollars per year. The primary extractor fan of a harvester generates the air-stream, and is the principal cleaning system during the harvesting process. The effectiveness of the fan varies with speed, and a compromise must be achieved between retaining trash and losing cane. An accurate and reliable measure of cane loss can be obtained by detecting the impacts of harvested cane on the blades of the fan. Field trials of this detection process have been successfully conducted on a cane harvester in Bundaberg.

If you support this thread, please leave feedback, thank you.
Dear blizzard, this is meant to be battle.net v2.0 but so far we have seen inferior designs, no matter where we look. Take custom games, for almost a year, there was a 30 second countdown AND even if anyone left during the countdown, the game still began, that is a HUGE game flaw. Secondly, channel moderatior, why on EARTH would you REMOVE channel moderation? You call this an upgrade? So far all I see is a downgrade, you have removed channel moderatior and only just fixed custom games. Alot of communities have in-game channels they use as a form of interacting with one another, what is good that if trolls can just flood in and spoil the community channel for others? You may say "well just put them on ignore!", Well guess what Blizzard, what if NEW members join the channel and all they say is a bunch of trolls, being disruptrive, they will turn right back and leave the channel. With channel moderation the trolls will be no more. Take WC3 on battle.net v1.0...you had the ability to create clans WHY ON EARTH would you remove that AND NOT replace it with anything??? Then dare call this battle.net 2.0? Please blizzard, enough is enough, we have waited a year for you to fix the custom game system and you have not yet implemented one of the best things about the WC3 community, channel moderation. All I'm asking, is you read this thread, take into consideration to what I'm saying and maybe reply updating us with why you have not yet bothered to implement one of battle.net's greatest features. Thank you and sorry for the rant.

Who is gonna pay those moderators? If we get them them we need them for all continents. This will increase cots for bilzz. let me explain 1. hire people. 2. costs go up. profit goes down. 3. stocks go down. 4. fire people to get stocks to go up. |
I absolutely agree. You can only block a limited amount of these people (the other description I have for them is not suited for a public forum) and it gets tedious to unblock and block just to enjoy a conversation.
Channels with passwords would be great too, but that's not as desperately needed as channel moderation. |
volentry ? This mean not really a will to do it all fair, since it's not your job. This means we will get moderators that are !*%#s. |
Well i'm to lazy to read the whole post. But moderators to watch public channels. U 4 real? How would you do that? Same problems as i said before. This mean not really a will to do it all fair, since it's not your job. This means we will get moderators that are !*%#s. Who is gonna pay those moderators? If we get them them we need them for all continents. This will increase cots for bilzz. let me explain |
Public channels WILL NOT be moderated, i'm on about the system they used back in warcraft 3 (which for some unknown reason they completely removed for there UPGRADED battle.net).
Essentially you get 10 people in a channel, say "Mixed Fruit", then you click "Create clan" then you type a clan tag, so for Mixed Fruit you would put MF. Then whoever creates the clan, becomes chieftain, he can then promote up to 5 people to shaman. The shamans and the chieftain and then kick and ban players who join that chat channel (their own private clan channel), the system worked perfectly fine in warcraft 3 and is NEEDED for Starcraft 2. Essentially, you get your own private channels which can be moderated and the trolls permanently removed, making your battle.net experience a much more enjoyable one. |
+1 channel moderation (talking about Private In-game channels).
Step 1 - Group of people create a "Clan" (say 5-10 people needed to create to avoid lots of clans) Step 2 - Private persistent channel is created for the clan, with the initial group as admins. Channel is invite only Step 3 - Admins can invite/remove people and add mods as necessary No need for Blizzard intervention/moderation Nice to have - Add clan tag to names - MickeyTheQ[MyClan] |
WTF? No one has to pay anyone. If you make a channel you should be able to control who is in it by some extent. Just FYI, World of Warcraft has had these features for as long as I can remember. And that is even though the chat channels are hardly ever used on WoW since there are the guild/clan system on top of that. So it's not needed in WoW but they have it, it is very much needed in SC2 since it's the only way of setting up group communication but a year after release and we still don't have it? That is insane. |
Ok so i was explained that the idea was if you create a channel you are the moderator. So i can create 100.000 channels and ban everyone. If you think this will happen. So you ruin the channels. that is why this idea is retarted. ;) NOW STOP GOING ALL CAPS RAGE AT ME JUST CUZ YOU THINK YOU GOT GOODZ IDEA. got it? good.
You can only make ONE CLAN per account and you need atleast 10 players to create the clan, I guess you're going to spend £5,000,000 on 100,000 accounts? Unless you're willing to spend £30-50 per account, to make a clan each time, then go ahead, so again, you're completely wrong. Secondly it would be an EXTENSION of the channel, so people could still join the private channel named "cookies", now if you wanted to go to the private, clan channel cookies then you add CLAN infront of cookies. So both your points are proven invalid. |
I agree, channel moderation is very, very much needed. I try to run a free coaching community, and our private channel reaches 50+ players quite often. The trolling, at times, is rediculous. In-game channel functionality can be completely destroyed by only a small number of persistent fools who have nothing better to do. I can block them, sure, but when new member come along, they still see all the trolling.
In short, it's impossible for clans or communities to represent themselves effectively in in-game channels due to the inability to prevent trolls, at all -.- I therefore, with absolute enthusiasm, sign this e-petition! Please make channel moderation one of your main concerns. I feel that, now that you've fixed the custom games system, channel moderation is absolutely the next big thing that is needed and I'd like to see some sort of moderation implementation as soon as is possible! |
Ok fine i agree they way you put it now. But for that to happen we need clan support. Untill we have that your idea is not possibole. So i suggest start a thread about clan support. |
@Zelthcon Again, channel moderation + clan support GOES HAND IN HAND. It's not about clan support, it's about channel moderation, if clan support is the means they need to use to give a viable way for channel moderation, then so be it. All I'm saying is channel moderation is absolutely needed and clan support would be an excellent bonus, just like in warcraft 3. |
The retard is strong in this one. How does it matter if you creat 100 or 100.000 channels and then ban people from them? I doubt anyone would want to spend much time with you anyway. In fact, could you please promise me that you will ban me from any future channels you might make? Just in case. Not only would this have no negative impacts at all on anyone, it's also been promised by blizzard. So it will n fact happen. The crazy thing is that we've already had to wait for over a year even though blizzard knows it's a needed feature. The most silly part is that the only reason this thread would get a lot of attention is if there are people disagreeing, so by posting here with you idiotic bull!@#$ you are in fact magnifying the chance is this getting attention. Ig uess we should thank you for that :) Threads were everyone agrees tend to die faster than any other threads. |

Top 15 Holiday Toys of 2012
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- It's never too early to start thinking about holiday shopping, especially when you're shopping for kids. Toys"R"Us knows this only too well.
From dolls that look like members of a famous boy band to furry interactive "pets" that speak a "foreign" language, Toys"R"Us has compiled a list of the most in-demand toys of the 2012 holiday shopping season.
Some of
last year's bestselling toys are hot again this year. Christmas will just not be the same without Lalaloopsy Silly Hair dolls, LeapPad Explorer tablets and LEGO Ninjago sets.
If money is a concern this year, consider the 1D Collector Doll from Hasbro, which retails at $19.99 each -- the cheapest item on the list. The average price of the toys on the list is $76, but that excludes the Wii U from Nintendo, which will not be available until November 18.
Some items on the list that have yet to hit the shelves may be available for pre-order. Beginning today until October 31, shoppers may also take advantage of the new Hot Toy Reservation program from Toys"R"Us. Here is the full list of the best new toys of the 2012 holiday season (listed in alphabetical order).Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Top Stories
KATHMANDU: Be it fairy tales or magical-realist tales or true stories or spine chillers, children's stories come alive at the 'Travelling Exhibition Of Illustrated Children's Literature' that started at Yala Maya Kendra, Patan on February 19.
The exhibition consists of illustrations of 24 children stories on display in 24 rectangular boxes. Each box contains two or more illustrations of a story. As a picture is worth a thousand words, each box of illustrations tells a story.
"Illustration for children is an art form," states writer Sally Altschuler, who initiated to bring the exhibition to Nepal in association with the Danish Center for Culture and Development (DCCD).
Stories of Danish authors like Hans Christian Andersen, Andreas Braestrup Kristen, Christian Weise, Hanne Kvist among others accompanied by illustrations by Otto Dickmeiss, Rasmus Bregnhoi, Jakob Martin Strid to name a few are being displayed here. From simple illustrations to cartoon-like to surreal illustrations, a variety occupy the venue.
For instance, the story The Red Shoes by Andersen has been told with four illustrations. The story is about a harsh tale of a poor girl Karen who is later obsessed and guided by a pair of red shoes leading her to lose her feet. And it has been shown with a girl in four stages, from growing craziness for the shoes to losing her precious feet. There are many such illustrations to enjoy at the exhibition.
Stories of Hamlet, The Snow Queen, When Bernard Shot A HoLe In The Sky, Finn Herman are the other stories that are being told through pictures here.
With an innovative way of storytelling, Altschuler believes the exhibition helps "strengthening the abilities of children to take in and to express them" adding that children can be creative with it. While event coordinator, Shrijana Singh Yonjan shares her experience of the exhibition as, "With the exhibition of illustrations and their story books, children can think out of the box. They can also return to reading."
Along with the exhibition, storybooks of the exhibits are also on display.
The exhibition is on till February 24.

From the beginning, The Atavist was a small startup with a lot of big playmates. A pioneer in the e-singles space, the Brooklyn-based company became an instant media darling, and when Amazon launched Kindle Singles in January 2011—widely considered the moment when e-singles emerged as a salable product—The Atavist was behind two of its most-celebrated inaugural titles.
A little more than a year later, The Atavist added Google executive chairman Eric E. Schmidt and Netscape founder Marc Andreessen as investors. And in September, The Atavist announced that it would enter into a strategic partnership with Brightline, a new publishing house created by entertainment moguls Scott Rudin and Barry Diller (who pulled the plug on Newsweek's print magazine in October).
All this activity from a company that publishes one extralong magazine article a month. (Disclosure: CJR contributing editor Alissa Quart is editor at large for The Atavist.)
Two years ago, when Amazon, The Atavist, and fellow e-singles startup Byliner were being heralded as saviors of narrative journalism, it was unclear exactly how that salvation would be accomplished. The business model (to say nothing of the category itself) was unproven. Curators such as Longreads.com and Longform.org—with the help of read-it-later apps like Instapaper—had already established that an appetite existed for longer articles on the Web, but no one was sure that people would pay for them. Was it really possible that single-copy sales of extralong works of journalism could be a way of supporting such expensive, labor-intensive work for the long haul?
On the eve of the e-single's second birthday, we are finally getting some answers. With a bit of the hype burned away, and some impressive sales numbers racked up (Elizabeth Kaye's "Lifeboat No. 8" was the first e-single to hit No. 1 on The New York Times's ebook best-seller list, beating out full-length books), the e-single is beginning to settle into its place in the market—or, rather, in multiple markets. Both Apple and Barnes & Noble now have their own e-singles stores to feed their respective e-readers. Big publishers like Penguin, which has been doing some form of short digital content since summer 2008, are beginning to learn how to use e-singles to augment their overall sales. And, encouraged by the success of the pioneers, a second wave of players—including a soon-to-launch digital magazine called Matter, which will publish one "unmissable" longform story a week—are getting into the game.
The Atavist and Byliner, meanwhile, are maturing as businesses. And both are moving in more or less the same direction: partnering with larger publishers, implementing subscription services, and launching Web apps that allow readers to bypass the middlemen, such as Apple or Amazon, and purchase and read singles on the device of their choosing. In other words, the saviors of longform are figuring out how to fit their stories into a larger business model—as magazines and newspapers before them found a way to package journalism with advertising.
"We're combining aspects of the magazine and book model," says The Atavist's CEO and cofounder Evan Ratliff. "It's a matter of finding how those pieces fit together." That means The Atavist crew can cobble together revenue ideas from either industry, but at the same time they're constrained by existing consumer expectations for both industries.
The Atavist got deep into the nuances of these expectations as it readied the launch of its subscription program this fall. Ratliff and his colleagues figured out how to measure readership and apportion subscription revenue to authors without much trouble, but then there was the matter of the back catalog. Atavist titles (like books) are sold individually, and offering subscribers free access to an archive of content they might otherwise pay for posed considerable risk. When I spoke to Ratliff in late September, he had yet to make a final decision on the back-catalog issue, the length of the subscription, or the price, even as he was hoping to launch the program just a few weeks later.
The partnership with Brightline gives The Atavist the opportunity to try full-length books, but in the short term, at least, Ratliff says his plans are to "be better at what we've already been doing." That includes analyzing a large trove of anonymized data on how readers find, purchase, and read Atavist titles. "We're not going to be rating the authors and saying they have to get a certain amount of traffic or something like that," Ratliff says. "It's just that now we know what business we're in on the publishing side, and it's time to figure out how we optimize it in some way."

Christmas in the bag
One of the fabrics I picked up at sample spree this quilt market was meet the gang by Marisa Anne of Creative Thursday for Andover fabrics. (Kathy at Pink Chalk has it for sale here and so does the intrepid thread). I'd seen it on paper at spring market in Salt Lake City and met Marisa there too. She's a wonderfully inspiring person - so incredibly talented as an illustrator (her etsy shop sells some wonderful prints, cards and also fabric). She has a kind of calmness about her that just makes you warm to her right away, she was like an oasis of calm in the manic surroundings of quilt market. And now Marisa is a fabric designer as well.
I knew I wanted to make some gift bags for small gifts this Christmas, but to be quite frank, I'm not a huge fan of Christmas fabric. Meet the Gang is PERFECT - it's wintery, can be for a girl or a boy, and because it's not Christmas fabric you could use these bags all year round for all sorts.
I made the 3 in the photo above using a pattern in John's brand new book, Pretty in Patchwork : Holidays, that is now available as an e-book from Zinio (will be available in print form next summer). I bought the book on Tuesday morning just before I took Ginge to school and had made those 3 bags by 11am! Click on over to check out more of the projects on John's blog. There are 32 projects in total that range from simple quick projects like these bags to some stunning quilts, and fun tree ornaments and gift ideas. It's a wonderful book, and I'm not just saying that because he's my friend. I mean it - I bought the book, it wasn't given to me, he hasn't asked me to review it, this is my honest opinion and I stand by it. I think if you love the holidays (all of them, not just Christmas) and patchwork, then it's a book you'll refer to year after year.
The 2 bags in the picture below I made using Jeni's tutorial on her blog. Another lovely easy to read tutorial and so quick to make. I love drawstring bags - I don't really need a tutorial to make them, but sometimes it's better to take all of the thinking away and just follow someone else's instructions. Jeni's instructions are incredibly good - and her bags are a nice size too with squared off bottoms to make for easy standing up.
I can't wait to get our christmas decorations up now, pin name labels to the bags and stuff them full of treats for some special people. I've used up all my meet the gang fabric, so I'm going to have to rummage around for something else that will look as cute under the tree. It's going to be a tough act to beat, though, I think.
The girls over at Lola Pink Fabrics have a fun holiday sale going on this week - spend $25 and get 10% off, or spend $50 and get 20% off.
PLUS shipping in the US is now no more than $5 ever AND automatically save 10% when you buy a 3 or more yard cut of any fabric (bundles are priced with the 10% discount already added).

I was a little concerned at first as most people were over 55 years old, Im over 60 myself and can put all rounds from two 8 round mags inside a 2 to 4 dia. at 15. Concealed means just that. As long as nobody sees it they don't get all upset. Most people are too polite to ask about that bulge in my shirt if they do happen to see it.
I carry a S&W 1911 in a Galco OWB, my everyday package. Seems to cover well and it feels comfortable. I carry condition #1. Really forgot I had it, almost. I have an OH. and NH. CCW. I was legal everywhere I went armed.
It is a feeling of comfort that I feel we need at all times. Thugs and terrorists know no bounds anyway. Feels good to me that I can protect myself and those I love if we do have trouble. Wife even put her arm around my waist at times to see if I had it with me.
I was careful not to flash it accidentally. I'm sure that if they knew and objected they would say something to me privately.

Since its founding in 2002 by HLS alumnus Kap-You (Kevin) Kim (LL.M., 1992) and his colleague, John P. Bang, Bae Kim & Lee's international arbitration team, the first dedicated international arbitration practice group in Korea, has rapidly earned the respect and recognition of its international and domestic peers through its forceful and uncompromising representation of clients in international arbitration cases worldwide. In the short space of eight years, the team's roster has grown to 15 lawyers dedicated solely to arbitration, making it the largest team of dedicated international arbitration lawyers in Asia.
Led by Kevin Kim, a pioneer in this field in Korea and one of the leading figures in arbitration throughout the Asian region, the team is a selective balance of attorneys licensed in Korea, the United States and Australia, each of whom speaks 2 or 3 languages – including English, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Swedish, French and Portuguese. In addition to co-founder John P. Bang, other notable members of the team include James Morrison, who handled cases from East Asia as Counsel in the ICC Secretariat in Paris from 2006 to 2009, and Kevin's fellow Harvard alumnus Matthew Christensen (A.M., 2005, J.D., 2002) a Korea specialist who joined the team in 2007 from rival firm Shin & Kim.
Under Kevin's leadership, the team has earned an impressive success rate representing Korean and foreign clients in international arbitration cases before all major international arbitration institutions. For example, the team recently obtained a total victory for a group of shareholders led by Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI), the world's largest shipbuilding company, in ICC arbitration held in Paris, against controlling shareholders affiliated with IPIC, the Abu Dhabi investment vehicle. The value of this arbitration, which involved a dispute among shareholders for control of Hyundai Oilbank (HDO), a Korean oil refining and marketing company, exceeded USD 3 billion. In the award, the arbitrators enforced a punitive call option under the joint venture agreement, ordering the IPIC group to sell its 70% stake in HDO to the HHI side at a 25% discount over fair market value. The award is unprecedented in Korea, and perhaps globally, in enforcing this type of co-investor remedy on such a scale.
Kevin is listed as a top practitioner in the field in peer-reviewed publications and is a frequent speaker and panel member at international arbitration conferences worldwide. Kevin was elected as Council Member of ICCA (International Council for Commercial Arbitration) in 2009. He was the first Council Member from Korea and the youngest member of the ICCA Council. ICCA is the worldwide non-governmental organization dedicated to promoting and developing arbitration, conciliation and other forms of international dispute resolution and there are only 37 Coucil Members all around the world. In May 2010 at Rio, Kevin was elected as Secretary-General of ICCA. He has the distinct honor of serving as Court Member / Board Member of the world top three international arbitration institutions; the ICC International Court of Arbitration (ICC ICA), the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA) and Board Member of the American Arbitration Association (AAA). Kevin is the first Court Member from Korea for the LCIA and the first Board Member from Korea for AAA. He is also a listed ICSID arbitrator, Senior Advisor to the Korean Commercial Arbitration Board, Vice Chair of the IBA Arbitration Committee.

Witschen says he does not know why it took so long to find a new director of housing and community development. Filling that position, he explains, was the responsibility of the city's planning and economic development director, Scott Adams, who has since left city government. Witschen also cited staff turnover as the reason it took eight months to complete the investigation of Malie. Because many of the people who had intimate knowledge of HOPWA have left the city's employ, he says, it was difficult to reconstruct events and pinpoint exactly who was at fault. "The people that were most directly involved at that point weren't here to help provide the documentation for a review, and that had to be re-created," he adds.
But those on the receiving end of HOPWA funding are able to comment on Malie. Representatives of many nonprofit groups in the area say that she was a font of knowledge and often helped groups navigate the pitfalls of applying for grant money.
"She is a true advocate of the people of the city," says Geraldine Pipitone, executive director of House of Hope, which works primarily with people who have substance-abuse problems.
Richard Colbert, of Shadowood II, says that more than 80 percent of his group's budget comes from HOPWA grants. "Kathy Malie, from my point of view, has had an awful lot to do with our having success and becoming a success," he adds. "She's been aboveboard, honest, and fair with us all the way down the line."
In fact some AIDS-housing providers say that, since Malie's departure last November, they've had almost no contact with the city regarding the HOPWA program. Normally, according to grantees, the city holds meetings every April to discuss priorities for HOPWA funding. By September a request for proposals (RFP) is usually issued, and money is allocated by the start of the fiscal year -- October 1.
That's not the case this year. The first meeting didn't take place until June, when Faye Outlaw, who now oversees the HOPWA program, told grantees that the city was considering handing administration of the program back to the county. "It threw us all into kinda shock," says Colbert.
Ultimately the city commission -- noting the county's past problems in administering the HOPWA program -- voted, during a July 7 meeting, against letting the county administer the funds. "We'll be moving forward with that process and RFP-ing it," Outlaw now says. "We did not want to advance that process, given that there was that discussion."
Angelo Castillo, director of human services for Broward County, says his agency was enthusiastic about the possibility of running the HOPWA program. "The hope was to create a continuum of care that would include housing and services under one roof," he says.
Some AIDS groups worry, however, that, because the distribution process is late in getting under way this year, they may not get the funds they need in a timely fashion -- which is what happened when the county oversaw the grant program. According to the most recent HUD figures, as of May 1999 Fort Lauderdale had spent less than $7 million of the $15.3 million made available under the HOPWA program over the last four years.
"The HOPWA dollars are kind of up in the air," says Pipitone, of House of Hope. "Nobody knows what's going to happen at this point."
Tom Shidaker, executive director of Broward House, the county's largest provider of housing to people with AIDS, told city commissioners in July that its HOPWA-funded programs could begin to run short of money as early as March if steps weren't taken to jump-start the allocation process. He now says Outlaw has assured him HOPWA dollars will be made available to ensure that the group does not run out of money, even if it's done on a stopgap basis. "The city has told me on two different occasions that they will make sure funds are available," Shidaker says.
Adds Outlaw: "There will not be a single gap in funding for HOPWA."
No matter what happens with the HOPWA program, it is doubtful that Sunshine Health Center will ever benefit from its largesse again. You get only so many chances to squander a million dollars.
On a sunny September weekday morning, Dale Gibson is standing in front of Sunshine Health Center's yellow stucco clinic in Pompano Beach. Surrounding him is a group of elderly black women slowly making their way -- many via walkers and canes -- to a bus. Gibson, the center's executive director, is dressed in a pink shirt and smart tie. He smiles broadly and exchanges pleasantries with the ladies, making sure that their visit to Sunshine Health Center is a pleasant one.
"The challenge we face is getting the word out, marketing, letting people know we're open again," Gibson says later.
By any reasonable standard, Sunshine Health Center should not be open at all. Even before the nonprofit group faltered in its attempts to provide housing to people with AIDS, it was mired in controversy and financial disorder. At the end of 1997, the federal Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) canceled Sunshine's grant of almost $950,000 to provide medical care to poor people in the Pompano Beach area. The head of HRSA at the time noted, in a press release, that "the center failed to resolve serious fiscal, administrative and governance problems that compromised its ability to deliver high-quality health-care services."

Top 6 Scenes From the Original 'Evil Dead'
We at BHM are eagerly anticipating The Evil Dead (in theaters April 5, 2013) remake and keeping our fingers crossed that it will show some respect for the original and not attempt a cheap copy of a classic. Since Sam Raimi had a hand in the writing it is possible our hopes will not be dashed. Time will tell, but in the mean time we occupy our attention with our favorite moments from the original. Here's the countdown:
In the first intense scene, meant as a blood-free preview of what's to come, we see tree branches and twigs hold Cheryl hostage while they rip her clothes off and plunge a giant stake into her genitals. Right away we know this will be a movie unlike any other – gothic, but intensely violent with very disturbing imagery made humorous due to the low budget execution and intentional blending of horror and comedy. This scene, if only in retrospect, is foreboding at its finest. We can look forward to breaking all the rules for what scares, amuses, shocks and horrifies. It will be easily one of the most violent films to date, yet somehow almost lighthearted in its subtle jabs at intense emotions and calls of comedic attention to some of the most grisly and unthinkable acts.
Towards the conclusion (about an hour and 18 minutes in), Ash has figured out that as long as the cursed book is exists he will continue to suffer the presence of his own cursed friends. The problem is that even though the book is near the fire and has even been singed a little – evil dead Scotty is now eating Ash's leg (even after Ash crushed Scotty's eyeballs with his thumbs). Ash must reach the book, but he can't free his leg, so he attempts to lasso it with the necklace he gave Linda (she doesn't have use for it anymore, since she no longer has a neck). He keeps trying to lasso the book again and again to ensure her (and the others') demise in a perverse sense of relationship irony that's guaranteed to have you suppressing snickers in the presence of your sweetie.
Just before 58 minutes in we are treated to a classic Ash-comic-relief-scene that always makes me chuckle. After doing battle with what used to be Linda, Ash joins Scotty by the sofa. Scotty is covered in blood and passed out or already turned to evil dead (it's a gray area at this point). In an effort to nurse his friend to health, Ash pours some water into Scotty's mouth, but Scotty can't swallow it so the water just dribbles down his cheeks and neck. Ash proceeds to reassure Scotty, "In about an hour the sun will be up. Then you, me, Linda and Shelly… (presumably, the pause is Ash remembering that Shelly is now dismembered) … we can all go home together." Sometimes I don't know whether to take this as a dig at those idiots in action movies that reassure others that everything will be okay, or pure comedic irony. Either way, it's always super funny to see.
In the very next scene, a mad-cackling evil dead Linda surprises Ash with the same knife Scotty used to dig into Shelly's hand. She thrusts it into Ash, before proceeding to sensually lick the blood off the knife – sexy tongue stroke after sexy tongue stroke… More brilliantly sick and twisted relationship humor from Sam Raimi.
Yet Ash isn't done and after a brief struggle, evil dead Linda plunges to the ground – coughing up massive amounts of blood. The blending of horror and comedy is seamless to the point where what's scary and what's funny are indistinguishable.
Evil dead Shelly digs her nails into Scotty's face – carving trenches of blood moments before her face catches fire and both Sheryl and Shelly hysterically flail and scream.
Evil dead Shelly grabs the sacred sword and lunges at Scotty. While struggling with her, Scotty rips a knife into her hand. But no problem for evil dead Shelly – she has no use for that arm anyway. Why not chew it off?
She comes at him – unstoppable – ready to deliver the final blow.
But Scotty has the axe now and proceeds to chop her into piece after squirming piece.
Truly… an iconic scene.
An hour and six minutes in, after several attempts, Ash finally looks to do away with evil dead Linda for good. She lunges at him and he takes her head off with a shovel. The headless body lands on him – blood pumping out of the stump that used to be her neck – spilling all over Ash's face.
At the same time the headless corpse continues its trademark amorous macabre and begins humping Ash, while he struggles to rip it off of him. All the while, evil dead Linda's head has landed right side up a few feet from the happy couple and keeps on cackling away. All and all, a brilliant blend of romance, humor and grisly horror.

"The last Pacquiao Bradley fight, Pacquiao was robbed. It's not just me. All the pundits say that he should have won the fight. Well the fight is here again. I think Pacquiao will win the fight this time decisively. He's been great for Nevada. I like him as much as a person and I wish him well in this fight. And especially, I hope that he and Bradley have a good engagement in the ring."

and is thus an additional benefit of MCM research. The data on vaccine safety and immunogenicity obtained by immunizing SIP participants with these IND vaccines help to provide the clinical basis for such uses.
The committee concluded that a systematic assessment of the need for new manufacturing of vaccines that are now in the SIP and a systematic assessment of potential candidates that could be entered into the SIP should be undertaken as a separate exercise. Vaccines and vaccine candidates developed in other countries should be considered as part of this assessment process for possible inclusion in the SIP.
Efforts to increase vaccine manufacturing capacity under HHS and DOD contracts appear to be under way. The committee encourages such efforts to include the SIP's current needs and capacities in making decisions on expanding the manufacturing capacity of a comprehensive U.S. MCM effort. The committee also recognizes that manufacturing new stocks of existing SIP vaccines or incorporating some or all of the additional vaccines into the SIP must occur in the context of U.S. regulatory policy, as discussed in Chapter 4.

If, like me, you've just got up and need to sound authoritative talking to people who've been up all night, try this. Start with the big picture, then familiarise yourself with the key statistics and see what happened to your own constituency. Then, for some anecdotal flavour, see how the night unfolded. Finally, find out what to say about what it all means, and what the Guardian thinks. Then preface everything you say with "Of course ...". "Of course no one really expected Galloway to get in" ... "Of course, the Lib Dems have made gains principally in the university cities" ... "Of course the worst result was for Plaid Cymru" ... simple.

One of the most historically fascinating countries in Central Asia also contains some of the oldest towns in the world. Settlements dating back to the Stone Age such as Kulbulak and Obi Rakmon or Neanderthal remains at Cave Teshiktash in Baysun are among many archeological sites. Uzbekistan's rich and varied past, including administrations by Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan, to generations of rulership by Iranian Empires have all left their mark. Uzbekistan is a perfect representation of one's romantic impressions of the Orient – from windswept desserts and steppes to the west flowing into grasslands that rise up to majestic snowcapped mountain ranges in the east. The famous Silk Road weaved its way through Uzbekistan and the ancient trade route's influence is seen through the stunning architectural buildings that remain. In fact, Samarkand, a major city centre that has been settled since the first century BC is synonymous with the Silk Road. Larger than life monuments, mausoleums and bazaars ornately decorated with intricate detail, mosaics and blue tile domains are characteristic of the region.

Travel Tips from people who've been to Uzbekistan
First know that where ever you go you will be stared at. Especially if you have light colored hair, and blue or green eyes! The boys will follow you (girls) and want to talk to you, just keep walking and stay in groups, they won't bother you if you keep walking and DO NOT LOOK AT THEM. Before you go do some research into the culture, if you are in Samarqand the people are a very generous people but they can be very superstitious they know who the tourists are and do not expect you to follow all their traditions but you should know somethings to keep things safe. Girls: DO not look directly in any local males eyes. do not go outside with wet hair this marks you as a prostitute Also wearing tank tops with spaghetti straps does the same know some phrases in Uzbek the market language if you want to do your own shopping. Simple phrases like How much is that? Necha sum? What is this? Bu nima NO. Yok you wouldn't say no thank you if you don't want it. Sellers will come up to you and try to get you to come into their shop saying things like "very cheap" which may be all the english they know. If you want to go go, but if you don't just keep walking and shake your head saying "Yok" no. if you traveling around by taxi take a small notebook with you and ask your tour guide or who ever you are there with, what to say to get where, and back. It may not be the street it may be a building, and it may not be where you actually want to go. You may want to stop before actually getting where you told him to go. TO stop say Shuyerda tohtatang. meaning stop here. you can also say stop which in Russian is for emergency stop so if the driver stops abruptly i warned you! :-) But being tourists they will expect you to stay with English Good tip? (+1) No questions - the big bazaar, especially on Sunday, is a great place to spent hours - literally. An no problem at all even for single female travellers. It's not for souvenirs or so, it's mostly every-day stuff and food, but you might just find something special. The people are really nice and even if communication works only with hand and feet - it works ;-). Also - take the metro there! It's easy to use and you gotta have seen some of those elaborate stations. Good tip? (+1) Samarkand is where the famous Registan can be found. Malika Hotel is a good place to stay in when in that area. Better shopping can be had in Bukhara though but, prices are cheaper in Samarkand. Good tip?

Remission of HCV-associated glomerulonephritis with pegylated ifn and ribavirin therapy after liver transplantation: case report and literature review
Donato MF, Fabrizi F, Fogazzi GB, Cresseri D, Passerini P, Martin P, Messa P. Int J Artif Organs. 2013 Jan 2:0. doi: 10.5301/ijao.5000166. [Epub ahead of print]
Division of Gastroenterology, Maggiore Hospital and University School of Medicine, Milan - Italy.
Background: Hepatitis C virus infection is associated with a variety of extrahepatic disorders such as membrano-proliferative glomerulonephritis, which is generally due to cryoglobulinemia.
Setting: We describe the case of one liver transplant recipient who received antiviral therapy (subcutaneous administration of peg-IFN-alpha-2a 180 mcg weekly and oral ribavirin 200 mg thrice a day) for HCV-related membrano-proliferative glomerulonephritis. He presented normal kidney function, non-nephrotic proteinuria (2 g/24 h) and mild hematuria.
Results: Urinary abnormalities disappeared within a few weeks after the initiation of antiviral therapy; however, combination antiviral therapy was not able to obtain viral clearance. After 11 months, IFN-therapy was interrupted and the patient continued low-dose ribavirin monotherapy (200 mg once per day) for one additional year- remission of proteinuria (<0.3 g/24 h) and hematuria persisted with intact kidney function. Although other mechanisms cannot be excluded, we suggest that ribavirin therapy was critically implicated in the remission of urinary abnormalities in our patient. The existing literature on the association between HCV-associated glomerulonephritis and therapy with ribavirin is reviewed.
Conclusions: Antiviral therapy may be effective in patients with HCV-induced glomerulonephritis. Further evidence is needed to evaluate efficacy and safety of ribavirin monotherapy for HCV-related glomerulonephritis.
