Trannies can be loads of fun when they're galavanting around the city, enjoying the nightlife, accosting "haters", and flirting with every guy (and possibly girl) in their line of sight, but what do they do when they wake up alone, slightly hungover, after a night of hard partying? Why, they beat the meat just like you and I! After all, what's the point of having a fully-functional dick if you're not going to abuse it? Private Transsexual takes this premise and runs with it, giving its members a huge helping of shemale masturbation content the likes of which have rarely, if ever, been seen before. (Yes, even on the Internet.) Does this make Private Transsexual an absolute success? Well, not quite, but it sure comes close.

Private Transsexual review | Mr. Pink's Porn Reviews
MrPinks.com review date - 05/10/2012
Long before the days of Chas Bono, Lady Gaga, Against Me's Tom Gabel, and Ru Paul's Drag Race, transvestitism and transsexuality weren't things openly displayed on major TV networks or discussed in polite company. Nowadays, however, it seems things are looking slightly up for those afflicted with gender dysphoria. Perhaps now these men and women can make their sexualities public, much like the throng of sexy trans-women of Private Transsexual. A hardcore site with a difference, Private Transsexual offers sexy trans-women a chance to show off their newly christened femininity to the world. In glamour shoots, private photo sessions, and masturbation scenes, the models appearing here are treated like queens of the erotic stage and have finally been given their very own spotlight. Promising members High Definition WMV videos, weekly updates, and the hottest all-tranny masturbation scenes on the 'net, Private Transsexual seems surprisingly professional for a site belonging to a niche that is so often underdeveloped and frequently leaves viewers underwhelmed, and such professionalism comes at a price; in this case, $29.95 per month. Such a high monthly cost might seem a tad unreasonable, but if Private Transsexual lives up to the promise of its tour page previews, it'll be money any tranny fan will consider well spent. And, after a raunchy jaunt through Private Transsexual's archives, you'll be spent, too.
Private Transsexual seemed like a strong tranny contender from the outside and inside it only makes itself seem more impressive. With 353 scenes already online (166 cumshot-free "strip" movies, 187 jizz soaked "episodes") and more than 200 photo galleries taking a supporting role, there's plenty to see here. Better yet, a new video at least, sometimes twice, every week.
As promised, most scenes sitting in Private Transsexual's collection are provided in dynamic, impressive 720p HD video formats. These downloadable HD videos look fantastic and offer one of the best views of the uniquely sexy trans-woman physique on the 'net. Photos, too, look great and reach a peak of 1600px.
If you've ever found yourself thinking "Man, this tranny porn I'm so furiously whacking it to didn't have any dudes in it, if it was just one gorgeous shemale stroking her cock for my viewing pleasure, well that'd be the tops!" then Private Transsexual is the place for you. With no co-stars whatsoever, the shapely, seductive models devote themselves entirely to you. Isn't that sweet of them?
Those seeking true hardcore content (i.e.: penetrative two-person scenes) will no doubt be disappointed to find Private Transsexual hosting solo scenes only. There's no topping or bottoming here, just straightforward stripping and beating off, and, devoid of the presence of "real" men, this limited range can seem somewhat stifling.
Download limits stink, there's no doubt about that, but download limits that only allow you to save 6 GB worth of content per 24 hours really get my goat. Thanks, Private Transsexual, for turning a bunch of committed downloaders into stream viewers by necessity, not choice.
Between February 2010 and November 2011, no photo updates were made and, although they've recently started up again, the galleries are not being added on a regular basis. Frequent, yes. Regular, no. It'd be great to see them match the weekly video updates once again.
With a growing collection of content now holding more than 300 scenes and 200 photo galleries, the vast majority of them exclusive to this site and this site alone, Private Transsexual is one of a few stellar shemale endeavors stemming from the SMC Network. Instead of focusing on hardcore sex like most tranny sites, Private Transsexual deals exclusively in solo masturbation scenes and, as a result, gives its members some awesome views of trannies getting themselves off. The videos are in HD formats peaking at 720p; the photos look equally sweet at 1600px; and although there is a 6 GB daily download limit, most folks won't even come close to hitting it and having their download privileges revoked. Aside from a few inconsistent updates and some empty parts of the schedule in years gone by, Private Transsexual is such an impressive shemale site it definitely gets the Mr. Pink's equivalent of Ebert & Roeper's famous 'two thumbs up'. (Trust me, you don't wanna know the details.) Enjoy!

Degradation Characteristics of Wood Using Supercritical Alcohols

Abstract: In this work, the characteristics of wood degradation using supercritical alcohols have been studied. Supercritical ethanol and supercritical methanol were used as solvents. The kinetics of wood degradation were analyzed using the nonisothermal weight loss technique with heating rates of 3.1, 9.8, and 14.5 °C/min for ethanol and 5.2, 11.3, and 16.3 °C/min for methanol. Three different kinetic analysis methods were implemented to obtain the apparent activation energy and the overall reaction order for wood degradation using supercritical alcohols. These were used to compare with previous data for supercritical methanol. From this work, the activation energies of wood degradation in supercritical ethanol were obtained as 78.0–86.0, 40.1–48.1, and 114 kJ/mol for the different kinetic analysis methods used in this work. The activation energies of wood degradation in supercritical ethanol were obtained as 78.0–86.0, 40.1–48.1, and 114 kJ/mol. This paper also includes the analysis of the liquid products obtained from this work. The characteristic analysis of liquid products on increasing reaction temperature and time has been performed by GC-MS. The liquid products were categorized according to carbon numbers and aromatic/aliphatic components. It was found that higher conversion in supercritical ethanol occurs at a lower temperature than that of supercritical methanol. The product analysis shows that the majority of products fall in the 2 to 15 carbon number range.

The Libero - Madness descends on Ewood Park
Published: 05 Jan 2011 - 09:39:16
Proof, if it were still needed, that Blackburn's new owners aren't cut out for the job came earlier in the week, with their utterly unprofessional handling of the Ronaldinho transfer story.
First came a post on Venky's Facebook page, apparently (it is no longer there) claiming that they were interested in signing the past-it Brazilian star, who is set to leave Milan for pastures new this month. Sorry, was that Facebook? Facebook? Football has certainly changed a great deal over recent years with the advent of new technologies and such internet utilities, but is this how things are done now? Multi-million pound transfer deals brokered on Facebook?Apparently so, at least in certain parts of Lancashire.
Then, just hours later, came an about-turn of Roono-Tevez proportions, as director Venkatesh Rao rubbished the story and claimed it was "not true at all". Presumably via his Twitter feed or Bebo account.
Incredibly, they weren't finished there and the next day his sister and Venky's chairwoman Anuradha Desai insisted they had indeed lodged an offer with Italian giants Milan.Just what is going on? Do these people know what they are doing? Do they even know each other?Where is the communication between them? No idea, absolutely not, unlikely, who knows are the probable answers.
However, it wasn't the first time transfer 'news' has been leaked via a social networking site. Trailblazing youngster Ashley-Paul Robinson is one name that immediately springs to mind after the Crystal Palace forward announced on his Facebook profile that he was to trial for Fulham.
His post made the headlines because we thought we had entered a brave new world of cyber-deals and e-transfers, but in reality his actions merely proved that using such a public platform in this way is a bad idea. He failed to impress Fulham at his trial and Palace were so miffed by the way he had gone about things they decided not to offer him a new contract. Robinson currently plays for Dorking FC in the Combined Counties Premier Division. Well done that man.
But back to Blackburn, and this isn't a young, impressionable prospect we're talking about here: these are the owners of a Premier League football club; wealthy and successful businessmen and women at that. Surely if Venky's want to be taken seriously in the Premier League, if they really want to turn Blackburn into a club that can challenge for major honours, pursuing the former World Player of the Year in this fashion is just plain wrong.
It all smacks of a budget operation, albeit with a whole stack of cash behind it. Ironic, isn't it? Equally budget is another post on their Facebook page, which is still there for all to see. It reads: "backburn rovers wins thier latest match against wolfs.we are postioned 8th on the point table.way to go!!!!!!"
That is not to mock Venky's use of English. It should be, and is, appreciated that they are not writing in their mother tongue, so the obvious grammatical and syntax errors, along with the Americanisms can perhaps be excused. But misspelling the club they own? Simply unforgivable.
It comes back to the point about being taken seriously. Or not, as will increasingly be the case at Blackburn, should the owners not buck up their ideas sharpish. And we haven't even begun to question the sense in bringing a 30-year-old has-been fancy dan to Ewood Park, where he will be expected to perform on bitterly cold winter's nights against the likes of Stoke and Wigan. Nor, for that matter, their unfathomable decision to offload Sam Allardyce and replace him with Steve Kean.
Blackburn are a proud club, with a rich tradition that should never be sniffed at. Unfortunately, Venky's behaviour is making a mockery of that and putting the club in serious danger of becoming a laughing stock.
Mr Jack Walker, who for so long strived to cement the club's status as one of the country's elite football clubs, would be turning in his grave.

Lim: Mobilising team at KL112 is Bar Council's decision
Lim: Mobilising team at KL112 is Bar Council's decision
Lim: Mobilising team at KL112 is Bar Council's decision
Monday, January 14, 2013KUALA LUMPUR: Bar Council president Lim Chee Wee said the decision to mobilise a monitoring team during the Himpunan Kebangkitan Rakyat (HKR) KL112 at Stadium Merdeka is the council's decision.
In an email reply to The Mole, Lim said: "The decision to mobilise a monitoring team is a Bar Council decision."
He was responding to a statement made by lawyer Ranjit Singh Dhillon who questioned whether the decision made by the Bar Council to act as observers during last weekend's KL112 rally led by Pakatan Rakyat had been endorsed by all Bar members.
Ranjit wanted to know if it was agreed upon by its members, when and where was the meeting held and how many members were present.
Lim in the email replied stated: "Decisions made are those of the Bar Council. If Ranjit disagrees with any decision of the Bar Council, he is at liberty to write to the Bar Council to object, and/or attend the Annual General Meeting of the Bar on March 16 to complain."
The council president said Ranjit has not objected in the past when the Bar Council sends monitoring teams to rallies as early as in 2007.
"Such monitoring teams at rallies are not unusual, Suhakam (Human Rights Commission of Malaysia) too deploys monitoring teams to rallies,'' Lim added.
Ranjit had also asked the Bar Council why it did not participate as observers during the Umno, MCA and Gerakan annual general assemblies.
Lim in his email said: "Ranjit Singh Dhillon appears to be a less than well-informed person who does not appreciate the obvious difference between ruling political party meetings and the exercise by the people of constitutional right to assemble in circumstances where the government in the past have clamped down on such exercises."
"Ranjit should consider attending a Compulsory Professional Development course conducted by the Bar Council on the law of association and constitutional law,'' Lim said.
Lim added that he looked forward to meet Ranjit at the council's coming annual general meeting as the latter failed to show up over his objection to police brutality during Bersih 3.0.
"I look forward to seeing Ranjit at the coming AGM because on the last occasion when he objected to the Bar condemning police brutality during Bersih 3.0, he spoke out to the press but failed to show up at the EGM (extraordinary general meeting) where this was discussed,'' Lim said.
On May 9, 2012, Ranjit in a seven-minute You Tube video had demanded that the council explain its interim report what caused the violence during Bersih 3.0.
Lim also claimed that Ranjit was not a member of the Bar Council.

Angel: Auld Lang Syne
- Posted by Johanna on October 21, 2007 at 11:49 am
- Category: Graphic Novel Reviews
- CREDITS: written by Scott Tipton; art by David Messina and Elena Casagrande
- PUBLISHER: IDW Publishing; $19.99 US
The latest Angel collection from IDW demonstrates key problems with the publisher's product.
Auld Lang Syne collects the five-issue miniseries. The structure is mechanical, and the original issue breaks are obvious (even confusing, if the book reader isn't aware of the original publication plan). In issue #1, while rescuing a baby (no better symbol of innocence) from a demonic cult, Angel sees and fights old enemies — Darla, the Master, Skip (you remember, the demon with the chin ring), and Holtz. Issue #2, in parallel, Spike does the same thing, only with him it's the two slayers he's killed and his mother. This is less mythic, since it requires more knowledge of the series continuity, and I didn't recall his particular maternal issues.
So when Angel and Spike face off at the beginning of issue #3, each thinks the other is a similar hallucination. After the big fight, the two realize their misunderstanding and team up to fight the real big bad. There's also hand-waving explanation of the reasons behind the apparitions and two fighting chicks who look like Witchblade leftovers.
Leaving aside that this plot — having to battle dead characters from one's history as part of a larger scheme — was similar to the second IDW Angel book, Old Friends, the format is counterproductive. IDW justifies their higher-than-standard prices through high production values and thick, glossy paper. But this is a big ol' fight story. The appeal is watching Angel and Spike whale on classic antagonists, including each other. It should be fast, cheap, and enjoyable. Instead, I'm worrying about not being able to read it without leaving fingerprints on the glossy black paper. (Presumably to add to the feeling of night and gloom, all of the page gutters in this book are black, not white.)
Also problematic: the lack of distinctive voices. TV adaptations succeed or fail based on how much they feel like the "real" versions of the characters. These don't have that special spark. They're flat and predictable, rather like the plot, without the actors' magnetism to carry weak material. If this had been under $15 and readable without damage, I'd be a lot more charitable, but as it is, it's another over-priced forgettable IDW publication that left me dissatisfied and not learning anything new about the characters.
All that said, I'm still looking forward to IDW's "Angel season six but we can't contractually call it that" After the Fall miniseries (IDW's store says #1-5 plus a one-shot) only because the creative team of Brian Lynch and Franco Urru have done such good work with Spike: Asylum and Spike: Shadow Puppets. They clearly know the characters, have a good take on voice and look, and create complex stories. (Amazon links because that's the way to go with IDW books: get them at discounts whenever possible.)

Im looking to get my CO2 tank filled for the first time, and the LHBS shop not only JUST swaps tanks (meaning id have to give up my shiny one) but he also says that it would be 30 bucks (for a 5 pound tank, that seems like alot (?)) Anyway, Ive been calling around and asking at fire extinguisher refill places and I think Ive found one that may be able to do it, but they dont know if it is food grade or not (language barrier issue of course.) Is it possible for me to get a general consensus from everyone here whether or not I should be able to simply get it filled there and be able to trust that it is safe to use? Any other suggestions? Thanks
CO2 is CO2 regardless of its intended application. I don't see any reason why using welding or fire extinguisher CO2 is any different to any other CO2.
Thanks Parva, thats what Ive come up with after doing some reading online about this kind of stuff. Now I just have to hope that they have the attachment to fit my tank!
Cost me $17 to get my 5 #er filled here at my fire extingusher shop. Most times I don't have to leave it ( unless I'm getting a re-certification ) and can get it filled while I wait. And I agree, CO2 is CO2, the only real difference is in what they use to transfer it with. Some places use non-brass fittings and the resulting CO2 could have some rust/iron particles in it, although I haven't heard of anyone experiencing it. I really wouldn't worry about that.
How do you BBQ an elephant....first you get your elephant....
Fire Extinguisher place here in Moncton charges 2.50$ per pound so a 5lb Tank is only $12.50 and they fill while you wait unless they have to recertify. Making this place cheaper for a 5lb but more expensive for 20LB. Liquid Air will fill 5lb for $20 and a 20lb for $40 but only on Fridays. dp
Is your LHBS La Cachette du Bootlegger ? website says $15 for a 5# tank. Lots of options in a big city like Montreal... Cheers
There's Atelier Biere et Vin in Longueuil that will fill it up for about $20 + tax.
I pay $5 dollars to get my 10lber or 5lber filled here in MIchigan.
Thanks for all the input, I found a fire extinguisher place about 5km from where I live and rode my bike up there, the woman at the desk said shed call me when it was done but a guy came and grabbed it and said it would be 15 minutes. He was back in ten and five pounds cost me 11, so $12.xx with tax. There is a metro station only about a 1km from there, so I would even be willing to walk it come winter thanks for all the help everyone

The word "recinto" is a bit strange and hard to translate. It means "enclosure," "paddock," "pen," "surrounding wall." A "recinto" is therefore a closed-in area, an area quite defined, an area created to enclose things and keep them safe.
So he is saying he is staying within the area established and closed in by St. Peter . . .
This space, this yard, this "recinto" where Benedict will remain, is not simply a physical space, the former nun's convent in Vatican City, in the gardens.
It is actually a spiritual space in the structure of the Church herself, a place "near Peter," a space in which an emeritus Pope, even if "hidden from the world," continues to live and have a role, like one more link in the chain of apostolic succession.
One might almost say it like this: (1) the new Pope, who will be elected in two or three or four weeks time, will be linked to all previous Popes who have died, and this is shown by the many tombs of Popes found in St. Peter's Basilica, and by St. Peter's tomb (which is directly under the high altar, and directly under the massive cupola of Michelangelo); but (2) the new Pope will also be linked to one previous Pope who has not physically died, but has, in a sense, been buried "to the world," and yet lives "in prayer," in a convent near the basilica, though "dead to the world."

It's funny how many of the same things we both read Tony. I've been reading Robert Moynihan's pretty insightful letters from Rome for the past two weeks. I've tried to limit my reading of conclave coverage, because so much of it is pure speculation and not that helpful. It's easy to file it into the part of your soul that you've assigned to deal with pure politics, and that's not a good thing. Bishop Mark Davies made a good point that we should be praying rather than approaching this like any other election, and I've been trying to take that to heart. I have, however, been reading Moynihan and Palmo, to try and keep up with what people with real experience in this stuff are saying.
You do wonder what it will mean to have the enclosed Papa Emeritus so close at hand, and dedicating his life to praying for the new Pontiff and the Church. It does seem like he will serve as a living witness to the long, deep roots of the Church, a reminder to the new Pope of what came before. It is hard to imagine what the relationship between the two of them will be. We will just have to pray that it is for the good of the Church. - March 4, 2013 at 8:32 AM

From yesterday's letter: "But it seems almost as if the cardinals are 'flopping around' like fish out of water, in need of guidance."
It's pretty disheartening to hear about Cardinals getting dossiers on the papabile and disputing the date of the enclave. You could almost understand the American press conferences getting shut down, not because they're the source of various leaks, but because it's just sort of awful to discover how little the various Cardinals actually know about what's going on. - March 8, 2013 at 3:25 PM

At The Orthosphere, Bonald writes:
Phil Lawler is outraged that the American Cardinals "apparently under pressure" have suspended their regular press briefings. He accuses a reactionary curial "Old Guard" of not seeing the value of "transparency". Having something of an "Old Guard" mentality myself, I will present the other side. What the more prudent members of the Curia realize is that the press is the enemy. It may not be true that they write (or suppress) stories with the sole intention of inflicting maximal harm on the Faith, but someone who assumes this is their sole motive will be able to predict their actions with nearly perfect success. Granting more access to the press will not win them over, nor will the charms of Cardinal Dolan, which seem to so impress Lawler, be allowed by the editor to affect any story's overall impression. The first and last word will always be given to Hans Kung or someone like him. There is nothing we can do about this.
The whole situation is almost disgraceful. The press conference is currently viewed by even the most orthodox Catholic commentators as the most important category of event in the life of the Church. - March 10, 2013 at 9:03 PM

Solar Flare Wink

Bullseye! A bright flare erupts from the sun's surface as seen straight-on by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) spacecraft.
Solar flares release strong radiation outbursts, ones sometimes strong enough to interfere with radio signals on Earth. This October 23 outburst clocked in near the top of the "medium" class of such flares, making it an M9.4-class solar flare. (Related: "Solar Flare: What If Biggest Known Sun Storm Hit Today?")
Such flares have become more common with the sun now near the peak of its regular sunspot activity cycle.
SDO watches for such outbursts in the infrared spectrum, as seen here, to see details of flares washed out or unseen in visible-light images. (Related: "Solar Flare Sparks Biggest Eruption Ever Seen on Sun.")

A canyon of fire remains behind as an arc of solar material blasts off from the sun's surface and punches through the solar atmosphere.
The 200,000-mile-long (321,000-kilometers-long) string of charged particles was fired from the sun by a clash of powerful magnetic field loops. As the loops pulled apart, they lofted the filament through the solar atmosphere, where temperatures reach 1.8 million°F (1 million°C). (Learn about the sun's magnetic field.)
The eruption's buildup took place over two days from October 29 to October 30, captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Laboratory. (Related: "Sun's Magnetic Field to Reverse: What It Means.")

We are all one. If we all knew it, we could not hurt one another. By sharing this message, perhaps we can change the world. Visit OneJourney.net to learn more!
It's a funny thing to think that you can look at people daily, see all of the various forms of dysfunctionality they exhibit — all the signs of great personal suffering — and still not know anything at all about their pain. But there are good reasons for this kind of blindness.
No one can know the unspoken pain of another person until one knows his own; and this self-knowledge, I believe, is the heart of compassion.
In some strange paradoxical way, to know one's own spiritual poverty is to see and know that same pain in all — and to value them all the more for it. And even more paradoxical is this fact: It's never too late to awaken to what is true…and to see how it changes all things present, future, and past.

Map of the Tisza and southern part of the Danube
The Tisza or Tisa is one of the main rivers of Central Europe. It rises in Ukraine, and is formed near Rakhiv by the junction of headwaters White Tisa, whose source is in the Chornohora mountains and Black Tisa, which springs in the Gorgany range. It flows roughly along the Romanian border and enters Hungary at Tiszabecs and leaves the country a few kilometers south of the city of Szeged.
After passing through Hungary, it flows into the Danube in Vojvodina, Serbia near the village of Novi Slankamen. There, it forms the boundary between the regions of Bačka and Banat. The river also forms short portions of the border between Hungary and Ukraine and between Hungary and Serbia. Once it was called "The most Hungarian river" as until changes in the territory in 1920[citation needed], it flowed within Hungary for its entire length (from source to draining).[citation needed]
The Tisza drains an area of about 156,087 km2 (60,266 sq mi)[2] and has a length of 965 km (600 mi)—the biggest catchment and length of any of Danube tributaries.[2] With the mean annual discharge of 792 m3/s (28,000 cu ft/s), its contribution to the Danube's total runoff is about 13%.[2]
Names for the river in the countries it flows through are:
- Romanian: Tisa;
- Ukrainian: Тиса (pronounced [ˈtɪsɑ]);
- Slovak: Tisa (ˈcɪsa);
- Hungarian: Tisza (pronounced [ˈtisɒ]);
- Serbian: Тиса, Tisa (pronounced [tîsa]).
The river was known as Tisia in antiquity; other ancient names for it included Tissus (in latin) and Pathissus (Πάθισσος in ancient greek), (Pliny, Naturalis historia, 4.25). It may be referred to as the Theiss (German: Theiß) in older English references, after the German name for the river. It is known as Tibisco in Italian, and in older French references (as for instance in relation to the naval battles on the Danube between the Turks and the German Empire in the 17th and 18th centuries) it is often referred to as the Tibisque.
Attila the Hun is said to have been buried under a diverted section of the river Tisza.
The length of the Tisza in Hungary used to be 1419 km. It flowed through the Great Hungarian Plain, which is one of the largest flat areas in central Europe. Since plains can cause a river to flow very slowly, the Tisza used to follow a path with many curves and turns, which led to many large floods in the area.
After several small-scale attempts, István Széchenyi organised the "regulation of the Tisza" (Hungarian: a Tisza szabályozása) which started on August 27, 1846 and substantially ended in 1880. The new length of the river in Hungary was 966 km (1358 km total), with 589 km of "dead channels" and 136 km of new riverbed.
The resultant length of the flood-protected river comprises 2,940 km (out of 4,220 km of all Hungarian protected rivers) which forms one of the largest flood protection systems in Europe; larger than the Netherlands' 1,500 km, the Po River's 1,400 km, or the Loire Valley's 480 km.
"Lake Tisza"[edit]
In the 1970s the building of the Tisza Dam at Kiskore started with the purpose of helping to control floods as well as storing water for drought seasons. It turned out, however, that the resulting Lake Tisza became one of the most popular tourist destinations in Hungary, since it had similar features to Lake Balaton at drastically cheaper prices and it was not crowded.
The Tisza is navigable over much of its course. The river opened up for international navigation only recently; before, Hungary distinguished "national rivers" and "international rivers", indicating whether non-Hungarian vessels were allowed or not. After Hungary joined the European Union, this distinction was lifted and vessels were allowed on the Tisza.
Conditions of navigation differ with the circumstances: when the river is in flood, it is often unnavigable, just as it is at times of extreme drought. (Source: NoorderSoft Waterway Database)
In early 2000, there was a sequence of serious pollution incidents originating from accidental industrial discharges in Romania. The first, in January 2000, occurred when there was a release of sludge containing cyanide from a Romanian mine and killed 2000 tons of fish. The second, from a mine pond at Baia Borsa, northern Romania, resulted in the release of 20,000 cubic metres of sludge containing zinc, lead and copper occurred in early March 2000. A week later, the third spill occurred at the same mining site at Baia Borsa, staining the river black, possibly including heavy metals.[3]
This series of incidents were described at the time as the most serious environmental disaster to hit central Europe since the Chernobyl disaster. Use of river water for any purpose was temporarily banned and the Hungarian government pressed the Romanians and the European Union to close all installations that could lead to further pollution.[3]
Examination of river sediments indicates that pollution incidents from mines have occurred for over a century.[4]

The Manchester derby on Monday Night Football is being billed as unmissable and that's spot on, but there will be plenty more twists and turns following the final whistle at the Etihad Stadium, I'm sure of that.
Two-and-a half-weeks ago the title race was over. United had raced eight points into the lead following City's defeat to Arsenal and it looked for the entire world as if the Premier League was destined for Old Trafford once again.
The bookies moved Roberto Mancini's men to 33/1 for the title and no one, including me, gave them a hope of getting back into it. Three games on and it's all to play for, and that is fantastic news for all the neutrals as we head into what is arguably the biggest game ever in Premier League history.
Sir Alex Ferguson is the master in these situations and United are probably still in the driving seat because they do have that three-point advantage, but you sense they are playing with a little bit of fear all of a sudden and I think a few doubts have started to creep into the players' minds.
The onus is very much on Manchester City to win the game if they have designs on ending their 44-year wait for a league title. Personally I think they will come away with three points on Monday night, but that won't be the end of the story.

How to remote record
It's not something that you associate with United teams, especially at this time of year when they are usually so strong, but the defeat to Wigan coupled with the 4-4 draw with Everton on Sunday would've knocked their confidence.
At 4-2 up on Sunday United were getting overrun in midfield by Everton and I'm sure if Sir Alex could do it again he would've added another man in there to help out Michael Carrick and Paul Scholes.
Instead they went looking for a fifth goal and looked incredibly open. Sir Alex eluded to the fact that the defence didn't do its job and I think Rafael was at fault for two of the goals, but I don't believe they had enough protection either, which is why I can see them reverting to five in midfield against City.
The problem he has is that Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck have looked formidable in recent weeks. They've started to develop a real understanding and if he is going to play five in midfield it will be most likely be at the expense of Welbeck, unless he chooses to play him out on the left.
In the big games in Europe Sir Alex has always tended to play one up top, two wide and three in midfield, and I can see him setting up like that at the Etihad with Ryan Giggs coming in alongside Scholes and Carrick, because a draw would be good enough for them.
The onus is very much on Manchester City to win the game if they have designs on ending their 44-year wait for a league title. Personally I think they will come away with three points on Monday night, but that won't be the end of the story.
They still have to face a Newcastle side who are playing the best football in the Premier League at the moment and are undoubtedly the form team.
People will say that the momentum City would get from beating United at home should be enough to beat Newcastle, but I don't think it will be as simple as that.
Alan Pardew's men have won their last six games on the bounce and have already beaten United at home this season. And in players like Hatem Ben Arfa, Demba Ba, Yohan Cabaye and, of course, Papiss Cisse they have an abundance of talent in form, so it will be far from an easy game for City, as impressed I have been with them since their defeat to Arsenal.
Carlos Tevez's return to the team has undoubtedly made a huge difference - as has Mario Balotelli's disappearance from the side - and his partnership with Sergio Aguero is one of the best around.
Together they can tear apart any team and City look like a far harder working unit with those two up top than when they were carrying Balotelli, so it's no coincidence they have scored nine goals between them in the last three games.
We've had a great week of football with the Champions League semi-finals and this is another game to get really excited about because there are so many match winners all over the pitch, but the two Argentineans will be the key men for me on Monday night, and I just hope Mancini lets his team go out and play.
Until we see the two team sheets it's difficult to predict what sort of game we will get but Everton showed that if you're bold you can get after United and cause them problems.
That goes against the City boss' nature a bit, but his side have been given a second chance at winning this title and they have to go and grasp it.
Three points on Monday and they'll be within touching distance, but anyone who thinks that will be that is mistaken. There'll be more turns after this latest twist and the Magpies could have a big say where this title goes.

Why would Man City not believe they can win the title? They've beaten all the teams in the top half of the table and some of the completely destroyed i.e. Spurs & United. Once all the talking stops its 11 vs 11. Records/History etc. etc. will mean nothing. It will be how the individuals/teams compete and perform on the night. Neither team can be 'written-off' and that's what makes it such an appealing match-up. Don't listen to the hype, simply enjoy the match.

City will win tonight, i believe by quite a margin. I also think City will win the title too, Newcastle are under to much pressure now to finish in 3rd with the CL finial being after the seasons finished, and look what that did to them at weekend loosing 4-0 to Wigan. I also think Sunderland will take points off United to. United's Arrogance will be there downfall.

If there was a player then he would be a city player by now. Obviously its not all about who has the best players wins. But momentum would take them all the way if they can get past united.

Paul Rickman (Bristol City fan) says...
i agree with u jamie, i think city will beat utd on monday but i still think utd will win the title as i don't think city will get anything at newcastle, newcastle are in form and i think they have the team and players to shock city and hand utd the title.

Gavin Hyland (Manchester United fan) says...
cant be many more twists after monday. newcastle away for city is tough but its unlikely they will lose there if they win Monday

Shaun Proctor (Chelsea fan) says...
Man city to take the title, Chelsea to finish 4th, no pressure to win the champions league- 2012 champions league winners
Posted 18:11 27th April 2012
Peter Horris (Tottenham Hotspur fan) says...
I think man city are more feared about monday's match. I know city have the momentum going into the game and have been playing some great stuff i think they still dont believe they can win the title even thou they have cut the lead and could go top with a win

tinkerin, I understand your point about stats for some things, but really...there are things in life that don't need stats
I'm really going to make this brief since you seem to be solely concentrating on statistics....please re-read my post above....the part about game wardens jobs being more dangerous than regular LEO....the part about being by themselves....no backup for miles
I'm not just talking about game wardens being in contact with armed people...believe me...I know all about the fact that people that have guns don't make them criminals, I'm being all inclusive with all the factors in discussion.
I hope you see my point that its more dangerous than regular LEO in a city or even in some counties.
Maybe nobody is able to truly understand what I'm talking about unless you've been in a LEO shoes, I dunno. I don't know what else to say if you are still stuck on your point other than like other things on this board we disagree.

Vegetarian Taste Test: Lightlife's Buffalo Smart Wings
Categories: Restaurant Reviews
Jeff Stratton |
LIGHTLIFE Buffalo Smart Wings |
The whole idea of "veggie protein wings" begs a question regarding the target demographic. Since they're totally veggie-based yet titillate us with their meaty look, we wondered: Are they for longtime lovers of Mrs. Clucky who are transitioning to vegetarianism or for hard-core vegans just looking for a teeny taste of the wild side?
Who knows, but Meatless Monday will continue. It must continue. And so we must eat to decide -- are these tasty little items or market research run amok?

Luckily, you can chew on that thought for a while... just like these little imposter-winglets! They definitely possess a gnawability that rivals the real article, which goes a long way in terms of fooling one's mind, if indeed that's what this product is designed to do. It pretty much worked, and they sure do fill you up the same way a plate of eight wings ordinarily would. So what's the problem, you ask?
Jeff Stratton |
Wouldn't you know it? The sauce. Which is a problem so easily overcome -- just give these puppies a bath with a store-bought bottle of Buffalo's finest and the old cerebrum will just cruise along, tricked into thinking they're boneless wings. That's the general concept, anyway.
We'd have a brief but passionate affair with the Buffalo Smart Wings again, and would even consider dating other members of the Smart Wings family, should they exist.

Tutorial on how to create a user account |
[edit] Add an Organization
[edit] Step 1: Find an Organization to Add
[edit] Add the organization you work with
Do you work with a women's or girls' organization? Please add your organization to our site.
[edit] Add an organization in your community
Do you know of an organization doing great work in your community? Please add them to GWN and fill out the information that you can on our form. An organization does NOT need to have a website of their own or an email contact to be included on our site. In fact, we hope that the GWN site will provide an online presence for organizations that don't currently have a website. In the future, we hope to provide assistance to those organizations that would like to create an online presence.
[edit] Research an organization
The internet is filled with a treasure trove of information on women's and girls' organizations. Our site works to help consolidate that information to make it easier to access and use, so that information on these organizations are in one central location: the Global Women's Network website. In order to find organizations to add to the Global Women's Network, please use our research guide which includes websites that have contain information on women's organizations around the world.
[edit] Step 2: Add an Organization
[edit] Confirm that the organization is not already part of the Global Women's Network
Before you add the organization, please look through our list of organizations and confirm that the organization is not listed. Alternatively, you can do a search for the organization. We will be adding a more advanced search feature in the future.
[edit] Watch our tutorial on how to add an organization
We've created a 20 minute tutorial which walks you through the process of adding an organization. Depending on your comfort level, you can try adding an organization on your own, or you can watch the tutorial before trying to add an organization. Remember that all edits to our site can be reversed and no technological experience is required. Give it a try and don't worry about making mistakes or deleting information. No change is permanent in a wiki!
We've slightly changed the format for the organizational profile and will be adding an updated tutorial very soon. This tutorial will still guide you through the process of adding an organization profile.
Tutorial on how to add an organizational profile |
[edit] Notes on adding organizations
- When adding an organization, please give the page name or title name the following name: Organization Name, City, Country (For example: Public Leadership Education Network, Washington DC, USA)
- Add the information you have the time and capacity to add. Don't feel you have to fill out the entire profile page in one sitting. You and others can come back to add more information. The only three mandatory fields in the organizational profile (required to save and create a profile) are: Country, Address, Target, Organizational Type, Sector.
- Please include the address twice in the organizational profile. The first time will show the organization address in the profile. The second time you add the address, the address will be mapped on our site. If you don't have an exact address, including only the city and country is sufficient.
- Summary: The summary will appear on our map marker and will also be listed in our country pages. For this reason, please try to include a short one to two sentence summary on your profile. There is a 200 character limit on the summary so that the description can fit on our map marker.
- Needs: When including Needs, you can add separate subheadings. For example, Volunteers, Resources, Equipment. Please add a description below the heading on what is needed.
- Reverse an edit you made: You can reverse any edit you made by doing the following. Click on the "View History." You will see all of the changes that have been made to that particular page. You can undo any of the edits.
- Having problems? Email Angie at firstname.lastname@example.com and we will do our best to solve any technical problems. In the future, we will be holding skype office hours where our staff will be available to answer your questions.
[edit] Step 3: Inform the Global Women's Network that you have created an organizational profile
After you've created an organizational profile, please send an email to the Global Women's Network at: firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject line: Organizations added to GWN. Please include the link(s) to the organizational profiles you have created in the body of your email.. We will review your profile before we email the organization and inform them that their profile has been added to our website. The organization will then have the chance to edit the profile and add more information.
[edit] Edit an Organization
At any time you can return to an organizational profile to add and edit information. Click on the "Edit with form" and continue editing the organizational profile.

By now you've probably heard "cloud", "cloud computing" or "in the cloud" and thought to yourself "What the heck is a cloud?" Simply put, the term cloud is used to describe information that is stored not on your own personal computer but on a remote computer or server connected via the Internet. It is the next step in computers – having your files, photos, music and more backed up and available over the Internet, wherever you are whenever you need them. Without having to physically plug in your device and sync it to the computer. Apple has its version of cloud computing, called iCloud, and while it all may seem confusing at first this article should answer many of your questions. How to decide if iCloud is right for you, and what features you would benefit from, is your decision – so it should at least be an informed decision.
Let's cover this in two parts: Part 1, this article, will cover iCloud with all Apple products. Part 2 will cover using Windows with iCloud.
One thing to keep in mind about iCloud, or any cloud-based service: it is as much a collection of features on multiple devices as it is a product. That is, while "iCloud" might sound like just another program to get, it's more like a system that unites what you already have. In order to do this properly, Apple has built it with some clear requirements for both software and hardware. Your computer needs to have the operating system OS X 10.7, codenamed Lion, or later. Every new Mac you purchase now will have newer versions than that installed, so you're all set. If you aren't sure if your older computer can upgrade, check out the technical requirements for OS X first.
For your portable devices such as iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch there are some hardware as well as software restrictions. The operating system for Apple devices is called iOS, and iCloud needs a minimum of iOS 5 for some functions but later versions for most. You can see exactly what's needed to know if you're ready for iCloud. In just about all cases, it's best to have the latest version of the operating system to take full advantage of all the features.
- iPad: All iPads are compatible with iCloud, and require at least version 7.0.3
- iPhone: As long as your iPhone isn't older than an iPhone 4 and has at least 7.0.3 you're good
- iPod Touch: You will need the third or fourth generation, so anything after September 2009 with iOS 7.0.3 or later and you're fine.
- Note: Some music features of iCloud require a CDMA model iPhone 4, and will also work with iOS version 4.3.3.
iCloud's purpose is to automatically and securely unite all of your content – music, photos, files, apps, etc. Now, if you are at a friend's house and they recommend a great song which you download on your iPhone, it will automatically download to your iMac at your office, your iPad at home, and your iPod Touch in your bedroom. The promise of cloud computing was a world without wires, where things you do are seamlessly integrated, backed up and secure, and available wherever you need them. Most of Apple's applications have been updated to work smoothly with iCloud, and Apple has provided the details to outside developers so they can make their programs work with it as well. It's only a matter of time before everything you do will work with iCloud. There are a few big features of iCloud, so we'll separate them into categories.
Items you buy through iTunes such as songs, albums, apps, TV shows, and books are automatically available across your devices. If you are in a coffee shop and use Shazam to identify that cool song you hear then decide to buy it in iTunes, it will be available to you on all your devices for download, without repurchasing. Items you've purchased in the iTunes store can be seen in your purchase history on any device, even if you didn't buy it from that device, and you can download it again for no additional charge.
iTunes incorporates iCloud, but there is also a feature called iTunes Match that really changes things. Your iTunes music library is most likely a mix of music you bought from iTunes, imported from a CD, or shall we just say "other." With iTunes Match, you can have iTunes compare your library to the more than 20 million songs in iTunes and any songs that match are included in your iCloud account. If you have songs that aren't matched, you can upload them to iCloud. As an added bonus, the songs are available at 256 Kbps, a high quality setting – even if your songs were of lower quality. iTunes Match is built right into the most recent version of iTunes, but the service costs $24.99 per year and is limited to 25,000 songs. Songs purchased through iTunes do not count toward that limit. In essence, by using iCloud and iTunes Match, you can have access to all of your music wherever you are.
You know when you're at your child's recital or a sporting event and you get that great picture on your phone that you can't wait to get home and find that cable you swear was just right there on the kitchen counter and eventually plug your phone into the computer so you can import the picture? Well Photo Stream, part of iCloud, takes care of that. Now the photo you take automatically appears on your computer or other devices, by connecting to Wi-Fi and pushing the photos from your iPhone to the other devices. If you have an Apple TV, you can even share your photos from iCloud on the big screen of your HDTV. PhotoStream stores your 1,000 most recent photos from all devices for 30 days in iCloud. Do not think of iCloud as permanent storage – if you want to keep any of these photos, make sure they are also saved on your computer or on your device.
For business owners, professionals, students, etc. what could be better than having your documents with you all the time? Imagine if you have to make a presentation out of town, you create a presentation at the office, finalize it with the boss and head for the airport. While you're in flight, the client calls the office wanting changes. Your co-worker makes the changes and iCloud does the rest. When you land and turn your phone back on, the updated document appears on your iPad. You make the presentation, land the client, get promoted, get a huge bonus, buy a new house, run for President…okay, maybe not all that. But think of the time (and as we know, time equals money) that will be saved not having to recreate those changes over and over. Apple's iWork apps like Pages, Keynote, and Numbers all work seamlessly and you can even use Microsoft Office documents by logging into your iCloud.com account.
Other Features
iCloud also synchronizes your contacts, calendars, email (iCloud includes a .me or .icloud email account if you don't already have one), bookmarks, notes and reminders. So if you bump into an old friend from college and get his phone number & address and make a lunch date for next week, it's all seamlessly synced across your devices. Another feature is Find My Friends – you and your friends can use this new app on your iPhone and use the GPS to identify where you are on the map. Perfect for meeting family or friends for a picnic or dinner. Also good for keeping track of teenagers who swear they're just going to the mall. Along those lines, the Find My iPhone app will now work with your Mac as well, so if you MacBook Pro is stolen you can locate it simply by logging into iCloud.com.
Believe it or not, this is only a recap of the major features – there are far more beneath the surface. Setting up iCloud can be a bit tricky at first, and you should definitely make sure all your hardware is ready, software is compatible, etc. before switching to iCloud. iCloud promises to make a lot of things much easier in the future. Perhaps the future is here already.
Make an Appointment now to get your iCloud account set up and properly configured on all of your Apple devices!

Makes 2
2 4 inch removable bottom tart pans
6-8 medjool dates, pitted
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 Tbsp raw coconut oil
lemon slices
Raw Lemon Almond Poppyseed Ice Cream (recipe follows)
To make the crust, combine all the ingredients in a food processor and process until finely chopped and starting to hold together. Press the mixture into 2 4 inch removanle bottom tart pans sprayed with non-stick spray. Place in the freezer while you prepare the curd.
For the curd, place the agar in the hot water in a bowl, and stir to dissolve. Once dissolved, let cool to room temperature and add other ingredients. Pour into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into the prepared crusts and place in the fridge for about 4-6 hours or until set and chilled. Once chilled, garnish with a lemon slice, and serve with raw lemon almond poppyseed ice cream.
Makes about 4 cups
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup almond milk
2 Tbsp organic lemon zest
2 cups raw cashews, soaked overnight and drained
2 cups young coconut meat, chopped
1/2 cup raw coconut nectar or raw agave nectar or raw honey
seeds of one vanilla bean
1 tsp pure almond extract
a pinch of sea salt
1/2 cup coconut oil, warmed to liquid
2 Tbsp black poppyseeds
Add lemon juice and almond milk to a food processor, along with zest, cashews, coconut meat, coconut nectar, vanilla, almond extract, and sea salt. Process until smooth, then with the processor running, add the coconut oil slowly and process until well incorporated, about a minute. Pour the mixture through a fine meshed strainer and press through until you have removed any coconut bits (you can skip this step, but it makes for a smoother ice cream). Stir in poppy seeds, and pour the strained mixture into an ice cream maker and process according to directions. Remove from ice cream maker, and pour into a freezer safe container. Let chill in the freezer for a few hours until a little more firm before scooping.
