In the meantime, the opportunity had been taken to redesign the Spitfire's fuselage, to improve the pilot's view over the nose and to eliminate a slight directional instability by using a larger fin and rudder. This instability had been apparent since the introduction of the more powerful Griffon engine. The instability was exacerbated by the increase in

(for which Specification F.1/43 had been issued). The updated design incorporated the new fuselage (although lacking the enlarged fin/rudder) and, as it was now substantially different from a Spitfire, the aircraft was named "

GRANTS PASS, Ore. — In a video posted on Youtube on November 7th, a woman is shopping at the Grants Pass Growers' Market and has her ADA service dog in a bag by her side. She is being followed Growers' Market officials as they insist she put the dog on the ground or leave the market. The video goes on to show Grants Pass Police arriving to escort the woman from the market.
Vern Caldwell was a vendor at the Grants Pass Growers' Market and says this video shows typical behavior by the staff.
"That we know of, that's the sixth time that's happened to that specific woman," said Caldwell.
Caldwell says market officials will go up to a person and confront them and when a reaction is evoked, police are called to have the person removed for a disturbance.
"They choose who they want to be in their market and create confrontation to make sure they have to leave," said Caldwell
Signs posted around the Growers' Market say service dogs are welcome. The video shows a man explaining they called the police not for her dog, but for the woman's attitude.
Caldwell says he attended the growers market members meeting the day after the incident in the video and showed the board the ada laws.
"The response I got from the president of the board was 'Oh don't worry, we've been doing this for thirty years, we know what we're doing.' The response I got from the market manager was 'Let her sue me'," said Caldwell.
Caldwell says after that he had enough and closed his booth. He says he won't be returning until people are treated respectfully.
NewsWatch 12 reached out the Grants Pass Growers' Market multiple times, however, Growers' Market officials declined to comment on the incident.

4.5 Highly Recommended bookaholic | 08/01/2010 | See all bookaholic's reviews (20) My two daughters loved the Horrid Henry series and this seems to be a good progression on from that. They both read the first book over Christmas ... actually forsaking the computer ... and I have, at their request, just ordered the rest of the series.
4.5 the best book ever kazzac2 | 01/03/2009 | See all kazzac2's reviews (2) My daughter loved this book very much she said it was very funny and now wants the second book
4.5 An extremely funny book. mrspinkie | 22/01/2009 | See all mrspinkie's reviews (1) I sat down to read this book with my 10 year old and we were absolutely laughing out loud. This will appeal to all kids with its accounts of everyday events and the cut and thrust of trying to be cool at school! The observations of sibling rivalry and the differences of your treatment depending which position you are born within your family are very true. Great fun.

- OR - Select an option belowhttp://www.labareflorida.com So "Harley" is revving his motor in your face, and you don't know whether to laugh or laugh. For a not-so-small fee, you can witness a crowd of strictly women hootin' and hollerin'. Why is it that men sit at titty bars in dumbfounded silence while women -- when they visit their own version of the clubs -- fall off their chairs laughing at the teabag-o-rama? It's because, to women, places like La Bare are hilarious and not that sexy; sure, Dirk's got those dreamy eyes, and you can't keep your eyes off Paolo's huge ... pecs. But these joints are filled with single and/or married women who are really wondering what it would be like to make out with another chick. Hooray for the converting power of the penis! Fort Lauderdale's La Bare is open Wednesday to Sunday, but Friday and Saturday nights are best. Read more about La Bare >>
http://www.lagouluebalharbour.com The accouterments of a classic brasserie setting are in place: tin ceiling, mosaic-tile floor, wood, mirrors, tightly packed tables topped with white butcher paper, and open French doors leading to a breezy outside patio. The menu mimics that of a real bistro, too, although one with severely limited range. Diners are privy to the standard escargots, onion soup, steamed mussels, steak/frites, and duck à l'orange -- but little else. And the sparse selections are timid in scope. Where is the confit, cassoulet, coq au vin? Ambitiouslessness aside, what La Goulue does, it does decently enough. Two small triangles of tarte à l'oignon satisfy with brittle-thin pizza crust crowned by a rich mix of minced onions, bacon, and Gruyère cheese, and parmentier soup achieves a heartwarming harmony between its two main components, potato and leek. For salad, you can't beat peppery frisée leaves laced with lardons of bacon and a runny poached egg. Steak/frites comes two ways: grilled New York strip (no bargain at $35) and the more traditional bistro cut, the hanger (onglet), its full-bodied taste elevated further by a perfect béarnaise sauce tangy with tarragon. Freshly made, assertively salted frites are also good, and so are desserts such as brilliantly flavored homemade ice creams and sorbets, a luscious lemon tartlet, and sumptuously soft arabica coffee pot de crème.

One of the oldest bars in Palm Beach County, and it looks like it. Bikers and the average Joe mill about drinking cheap beer on the all wooden patio that resembles an old west saloon. Read more about The Lamp Post Bar >>
Situated on the Hollywood border, the Lamp Post Lounge is an off-the-beaten-path watering hole. The two-story white-and-green-trimmed building looks as though it was a trading post in the Wild West. However, inside mimics that of just a casual, good-ol'-time bar. From videogames to a pool table and beer memorabilia, the drinking hole has all the quintessential trimmings, but it's the patrons who give it real character. An internet jukebox flanks one wall, ready to provide some ambiance. Between the regulars and the cheap drinks, Lamp Post Lounge sure does make for an interesting night out. Oh, and don't be alarmed if you feel something furry rub up against your leg, that's just Lampy – the bar's 30-pound resident cat. Read more about Lamp Post Lounge >>
http://www.laserwolf.com Located where NE Fourth Avenue meets the train tracks, Laser Wolf fits in an unusual triangular space. The place vibrates with bright-red walls, a mural by pro skateboarder Kris Markovich, and the runaway trendiness of a crowd that gathers between its walls to drink sake and locally crafted microbrews. Ashtrays feature the Misfits' skull logo, and even the chairs made the trip from the moody-hip downtown hangout the Poorhouse. Dance parties instinctively emerge in front of the DJ's corner setup, while an adjacent, charming courtyard hosts bands for the rock-devoted. Read more about Laser Wolf >>

Because of its close proximity to Nova Southeastern, Lefty's Tavern and Grille gets a lot of business from college students. There's live music on Wednesdays, karaoke every Friday, and Trivia Tuesdays. For the food, chicken wings are the main attraction, but you can also find salads, burgers, and an array of sandwiches, like the fried grouper Reuben. Another draw? It's always happy hour at Lefty's, where you can get $2.25 domestic drafts, five-for-$10 domestic bottles, $2.49 well liquor, and $3.49 house wine and a few name brands of liquor, including Bacardi and Smirnoff, anytime from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. You can wash down those drink specials with 50-cent wings and clams available Monday through Wednesday. Family fun is offered too via a makeshift arcade for the little ones, and you may even find a clown making animal balloons on Wednesdays, when kids eat free (with the purchase of adult entrée). Read more about Lefty's Tavern and Grille >>
Cozy and quaint, Legends Pub is the quintessential neighborhood watering hole in Fort Lauderdale. An oval bar trimmed in forest-green leather fills the smoky bar, where patrons gather to share drunken tales of long work days. TVs line the wooden walls that are covered in photos of stars from yesteryear. Vintage cash registers and an old- time popcorn machine add to the bar's nostalgic charm. The bartender knows his patrons by name, and you can bet he never leaves a glass dry. Read more about Legend's Pub >>
http://www.chesterfieldpb.com Terminally hip out-of-towners like to come to Palm Beach and dis our tatty old Leopard. Yeah, there's a lounge singer with his Casio belting out Barry White tunes; the sartorially inept jokers wearing $700 lime-green slacks (Where do they find them? Oh, right, two blocks away on Worth Avenue.); the Southern lady lawyers screaming into their cell phones; the big shots ordering $400 bottles of champagne; the doyennes - newly resurfaced skin stretched tight and shiny as latex over jutting cheek and collar bones. But an excellent late-night menu, served until 1 a.m. on weekends, of exotic burgers and creative small plates makes the LL a favorite haunt of hungry nocturnal felines. And where else are you gonna find an appetizer of creamed chipped beef - made with sirloin tips and sautéed mushrooms, no less? Read more about The Leopard Lounge >>

In this hard-hitting but humorous documentary, director Jamie Johnson takes the exploration of wealth that he began in Born Rich one step further. The title, The One Percent, refers to the tiny percentage of Americans who control nearly half the wealth of the U.S. Johnson's thesis is that this wealth in the hands of so few people is a danger to our very way of life. Johnson captures his story through personal interviews with Robert Reich, Adnan Khashoggi, Bill Gates Sr., and Steve Forbes, during which both Johnson's and his subjects' knowledge and humor shine. And he's not afraid to butt heads with Milton Friedman, the economist who coined the term "the trickledown effect." He also shows how the other half lives, using real-world examples of the wealth gap: he takes a tour of a dilapidated housing project in Chicago, rides around with an enlightened taxi driver, and sees the human toll of the unfair economics of the Florida sugar industry. Johnson's film is at its most powerful when it reveals how the super-rich work to preserve their own monetary dominance. As a member of the "Johnson & Johnson" family, he gets rare access to an exclusive wealth conference at which the über rich learn strategies for preserving their fortunes, and learns the personal management styles of some of the countries wealthiest employers. No great society has survived such a massive wealth gap; who knows if ours will?
The One Percent is Jamie Johnson's second feature documentary. His first, Born Rich, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, was purchased by HBO, and went on to receive two Emmy Award™ nominations in 2003.

Shrimp 5 Ways
by Toby Amidor in Healthy Recipes, February 17, 2010
Three ounces of shrimp only contains 84 calories and 1 gram of fat and comes packed with selenium and energy-boosting B-vitamins. As long as you keep portions under control (and forgo the frying), there's no need to stress about the cholesterol. Shrimp lovers, try these five recipes.
Cook shrimp in a touch of oil and add a combination of your favorite veggies and spices. Serve with a half-cup serving of couscous, wild or brown rice on the side and enjoy.
RECIPE: Garlic Basil Shrimp
Don't forget the shrimp cocktail the next time you host a party. Roasting will keep your shrimp moist and the delicious cocktail sauce is low in calories (shhh, don't tell your guests!).
RECIPE: Roasted Shrimp Cocktail (pictured above)
Toss shrimp in your favorite low-calorie sauce and fire up the grill. Thread shrimp and your favorite veggies on kabobs, serve with rice and you've got a quick and easy meal. Or try topping greens with grilled shrimp for a light lunch.
RECIPE: Lime Chicken and Shrimp Kabobs
Cozy up to a soup or stew during a cold winter night. Use aromatic veggies such as onions and garlic along with your favorite seafood combinations — shrimp, clams and mussels, for example.
RECIPE: Provencal Shellfish Stew
Bake shrimp with savory feta for a new take on a casserole. This quick dish takes less than 30 minutes to prepare and you can quickly reheat leftovers in the oven or office microwave.
RECIPE: Baked Shrimp With Tomatoes and Feta

Joe Plecker, PGA Director of Instruction at Baltimore Country Club shows how to hit both a low and a high shot off the ground with your irons. For a low shot, he says to play the ball slightly behind the center of your stance, to position the handle of the club forward and to hit with a wider stance. Plecker instructs that for hitting the ball high, you should position the ball forward and place the handle of the club straight up.

GBI arrests Commerce police officerBy Marc Eggers Staff COMMERCE - A Commerce police officer has been arrested by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation following an investigation into his running a license plate for personal reasons.
On Tuesday, members of the GBI attested Matthew Scott Rogers, 44, charging him with one felony count of criminal liability and penalties of crimes of computers. The arrest was in connection with Rogers running a tag through the Georgia Crime Information Center (GCIC) for personal reasons which violate the laws governing the use of GCIC. Last Thursday Commerce Police Chief John Gaissert requested the GBI Athens Regional Office to investigate. Rogers was processed at the Jackson County Jail where he was later released on $2,000 bond. Rogers is on administrative leave with pay pending the outcome of an internal administrative review by the Commerce Police Department. © Copyright 2015 AccessNorthGa.com

Podcast: Apple approves Real music streaming app
Apple agrees to allow RealNetworks to offer a music streaming service for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Larry talks about it with Real's VP Bill Hankes.
In some ways RealNetwork's Rhapsody service competes with Apple's iTunes, but Apple has approved the music streaming app for use on the iPhone and iPod Touch.
The app is free, but users will pay $14.99 a month for the service after a free seven day trial.
Real Vice President Bill Hankes described the service and said that, even though it competes with Apple to some extent, the two companies were able to reach what he considers to be a mutually beneficial agreement.

Do you think it would be a liability to run as a more centrist Republican?
It very well could be. One of the things I was attacked for the most when I was running four years ago was "He's really not pure." It was about trying to create an image that I was some Big Government Republican. But that was ridiculous.
Do you feel like you're going to be fighting a lot of the same battles this cycle?
It's about marketing and selling. It's part of what I've got to think through in terms of the decision to run. To be honest, I'd be more concerned about navigating through the primary than the general election. Because I really feel like the contrast between President Obama and myself would be significant. I'm comfortable that I'd be able to explain to the American people why my point of view would be better for the country. The question is: can I get through what will be a very rancorous Republican primary?
I thought we were all trying to get beyond the rancor, considering that intensity may have contributed to the Tucson shootings?
There's no evidence whatsoever that it did. All evidence, in fact, points to the fact that it did not. It's frustrating. Everybody wants to say it's the political climate. The political climate of America has always been intense. Going back, gosh, to the letters between Jefferson and John Adams. They were doggone mean. It's not something new. It's what we are as a people. It's really one of the strengths of the country. I guess I was very frustrated when the whole discussion after Tucson wasn't about mental health. Instead they want to blame someone on talk radio or Sarah Palin, who nobody had ever heard of in 2007 when [Jared Loughner] first got mad at Gabby Giffords. It's bizarre to me.
So you don't think Sarah Palin's gun sights were too extreme?
It's no different than James Carville's War Room. Or Obama saying, "If they bring a knife, we'll bring a gun." Those are rhetorical devices. It's done in athletics. When someone says "Kill that guy!" they don't literally mean go out there and choke him to death on the fifty-yard line. No more than when you tell an actor "Break a leg," you hope he goes and tries out for Spider-Man the musical.
Michele Bachmann gave a response to the State of the Union this year. How does a Tea Party candidate muck things up for the Republicans?
It's always an irony when people say, "Well, the Republicans aren't Republican enough, so, by golly, we'll start a third party." I think if there was an actual third party candidate that campaigned, it probably ensures the election of Obama. I hope that the Tea Party maintains its relevance by being issue-focused and not personality-focused. I think if they align themselves with an individual candidate, it will be the beginning of their demise.

Businessman's life, legacy celebrated Monday
By DIANE GASPER-O'BRIEN
To the general public, Dwayne Spady was the flower guy. Some didn't even know his last name. Or they might have thought it was Designs.
Ask someone — just about anyone — about the tall man who owned Dwayne's Designs in downtown Hays, and two things probably would come to mind. He was known for crafting mean floral arrangements of any kind, ones that often lasted long past their expected start-to-droop date, and he always had a smile on his face.
But those attending a service Monday at North Oak Community Church in Hays found out there was much more to Dwayne Spady than flowers.
Spady died Thursday, and his funeral was Monday at North Oak, which offered the use of its worship space for the services.
Spady is a member of House Fellowships of Hays, which holds its services in people's homes.
Spady's wife, Eugenia, and family knew there wasn't a family home around that could hold the amount of people who would want to attend his funeral.
And Spady had a tie to North Oak, too. Rachel Ediger, wife of North Oak Pastor Ken Ediger, worked alongside Spady in his store for 17 years.
Membership of House Fellowships numbers approximately 50. The other 250 people at his funeral were members of the community who came to pay their respects.
On this day, those in attendance would learn Spady had many more loves than flowers.
He was a loving husband and father and grandfather, a man of strong faith and a friend to many. One of his strong points, one Fellowships member mentioned, was his vision and hope for the next generation, mentoring and counseling many a college and high school-aged student, as well as adults.
It came out loud and clear Spady had a passion for people and music and, of course, flowers.
So it seemed only fitting a large arrangement of one of his favorite flowers — sunflowers — stood front and center in front of a podium from behind which people spoke.
"Dwayne just loved flowers, so it would be hard for me to say which is his No. 1 favorite," said Rachel Ediger, who made several of the floral arrangements for her boss' funeral. "But I took a while on these. I wanted them to be something special."
Coincidentally, Spady died of a heart attack while delivering flowers — on National Day of Prayer. Spady had been scheduled to pray at the Ellis County event Thursday.
Jake Glover, a member of House Fellowships who officiated the services, said Spady specialized in trying to make people's lives on earth special in some way, maybe trying to give them a little taste of heaven.
"Dwayne's heart has always been in heaven," Glover said, "and he just caught up with his heart."
Ediger said she canceled a lot of Mother's Day orders at Dwayne's Designs.
"We're only going to take orders that we can fill with our limited staff," she said. "We couldn't do Mother's Day like we usually do without Dwayne."
Despite the loss to family, church, downtown Hays and the community, Glover urged people to honor Spady by carrying on his love of life.
"Dwayne did not allow sadness to linger," said Glover, adding he would have liked all the music played at his funeral service.
"Dwayne loved to dance and sing," he said, "and he enjoyed everything about music."
Kenny Rigler, a member of the worship team who helped lead the music, agreed.
"Right now, he's where he wants to be," Rigler said. "And we get the great privilege to continue where he left off."

"I love Barbie. I hate Barbie. I fuck with Barbie. I don't fuck with Barbie.
"I love the Warhol fantasy-reality conflict of Pop Culture in general. It's a very provocative and decadent prologue to the Organic-Technologic virtual-reality global revolution conflict of today." – Carlos Ferreyros
[That's So (Brand)!Is a series dedicated to "passion" brands.]
That's so Barbie! evokes something. That thing is clear and consistent. And, has been so, for 53 years everywhere. Because of that, even if we don't know what the hell "That's So Barbie!" Is about? We definitely know it's not going to be something sad, depressing or poor. We know it's probably something over-the-top, pink and plastic, maybe a romantic moment or a high-school bitch, a fashion model, a fantasy world.
Barbie strives to be everything and everyone. She's a socio-cultural chameleon, putting herself out there, but never fully commiting to anything. She's had 40 nationalities, 130 careers and has penetrated 45 consumer products/categories. Every year, there are150 new versions of her, reflecting every, single, solitary human and cultural condition from cancer to the Presidency. She's got a pretty face and hot, sexy (and unrealistic) body. She adopts fashionable identities and moves through the culture like a well-schooled hostess. Barbie as our friend or enemy is our ultimate people pleaser.
First there was the bridal gown – because marriage and homemaking were the main trends for women at that time. She came with the chic fashions, mirroring Jackie O—an image that both a mother and daughter saw as the dream come true. Then Barbie got a steady boyfriend, Ken, since another accepted dream for girls in '61 was male companionship.
And the years went on. Barbie advanced not just in her fashion but also in ambition and lifestyle. In the mid to late 60's there was a "Barbie goes to college" play-set which started Barbie down her career path. It was an exciting time for her with new accessories that still included way more clothes than schoolbooks. During the hippie era, she got a little more daring in mini skirts, (that went perfectly with her fun, new bendy legs.)
She never went too far during this youth culture rebellion. No pot smoking or bra burning for Barbie.
During the Vietnam war, Barbie visited Ken in Saigon and went shopping and sightseeing while "Captain Ken" (who was never in combat) collected his numerous medals – although no one knows what for.
Ken and Barbie didn't always have it easy. They broke up for time, but then worked things out. At one point too, Ken had tinted hair and an earing—maybe a mini-identity crisis, but always appealing to the "kitsch" consumer, who would appreciate the idea of a gay Ken doll. Some argue that Ken was always gay. Others insist that he is merely metro-sexual (like Ricky Martin).
Barbie has also had her critics with many feeling that she and her friends represent an unrealistic, over achieving ideal for girls that supports a destructive image of femininity where everything can be fixed with the change of an outfit. If only life were as simple as that.
The band Aqua, in their song Barbie Girl, sing 'I'm a blonde bimbo girl, in a fantasy world. Life in plastic. It's fantastic."
She's always perfect – just the way(s) she is. Whether you love her or hate or just want her at your party, it's a brand everyone has an opinion about and after all these years she's still there for us. "It's just so Barbie" — with everything and everyone we would ever want her to be.
6 Comments
I'm an "I hate Barbie" kind of woman. I never bought them for my daughter, growing up in the seventies. We were a hippie sort of family, and Barbie represented everything we were trying to overcome — unnatural beauty, consumerism, superficiality. But, she does have staying power!!!
I just want to mention I am just newbie to weblog and really loved your web site. Most likely I'm likely to bookmark your website . You surely come with awesome writings. With thanks for revealing your blog site.
Wow! Even though I certain this stuff is out of my league. Its still very interesting.
I like this weblog very much so much fantastic information.
I don't think Barbie is really the enemy. A society that objectifies women and places value in unrealistic expectations for beauty is the enemy. Barbie is just a girl. She's blonde, blue eyed, tan, and talented. If you truly believe in empowering women, building self-esteem, and respecting all body types, then you will respect Barbie for all that she is. All women deserve respect, regardless of what they look like.

"You guys suck at this game" {WoW}
Dec 25th 2006 3:10AM It's funny because I've felt the same way as some of the things he says. If someone is in a raid and they lolligaging, they are wasting 39 other peoples time. If nothing gives him the right to call them out; then nothing gives them the right to waste MY (and 39 other peoples) Time. You can only tell them so many times before you kick them, or ream them in the hopes they'll improve.
So, for those that dislike what he's saying; ask yourself if you'll ever see anything past MC. Chances are - NO. It's a logistics nightmare to get 40 people together for a high end raid.
There are those that want to be the best, and those that don't. His guild is one that wants to be elite (in this game); and it's no different than people that want to be the best at anything else.

Monstrous iceberg breaks free of Greenland glacier. Is climate change to blame? (+video)
An iceberg twice the size of Manhattan has broken away from the Petermann Glacier in northern Greenland, raising concerns about North Atlantic shipping lanes and oil platforms.
An iceberg twice the size of Manhattan broke free from Greenland's massive Petermann Glacier, which could speed up the march of ice into northern waters, scientists said on Wednesday.
This is the second time in less than two years that the Petermann Glacier has calved a monstrous ice island. In 2010, it unleashed another massive ice chunk into the sea.
The latest break was observed by NASA's Aqua satellite, which passes over the North Pole several times a day, and was noted by Trudy Wohlleben of the Canadian Ice Service.
"At this time of year, we're always watching the Petermann Glacier," Wohlleben said, because it can spawn big icebergs that invade North Atlantic shipping lanes or imperil oil platforms in the Grand Banks off Newfoundland. A large piece of the 2010 iceberg did just that, but caused no damage, she said by telephone.
NASA images showed the iceberg calving -- breaking off from a floating river of ice called an ice tongue, part of the land-anchored Petermann Glacier -- and moving downstream along a fjord on Greenland's northwest coast. A rift in the ice had been identified in 2001, but on Monday a crack was evident.
On Tuesday, the satellite spied a bigger gap between the glacier and the iceberg, and the ice chunks further downstream were breaking up, NASA said.

Texas congressman Ron Paul won the straw poll at the Conservative Political Action Conference for the second straight year Saturday and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney finished second.
Paul got 30 percent, while Romney got 23 percent of the votes of those attending the conference in Washington.
Others were grouped far behind.
Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson had 6 percent along with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich got 5 percent. Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann and Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels were at 4 percent.
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin got 3 percent and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee got 2 percent. Palin and Huckabee are two high-profile Republicans who did not attend, while many potential candidates made speeches at the conference.
Paul is a hero to libertarians and has a fiercely loyal following.
The straw poll was co-sponsored by CPAC and The Washington Times.

Can you revel in a moment and then step beyond to the blither and blarney of the next Perot as presented to you by the Sword of Damocles ?
Don't hold your breath, Mr Smith, were already on take three.
I've been thinking about Ron Paul's chances to win an election. I truly believe he has to cut his ties with the Repubican party. He'll never get the nomination as long as he's linked with them. The party apparatchiks along with whomever they report to will never allow it.
A good running mate on a Independent ticket, maybe a better name would be the "Liberation Party" would be he and Jesse Ventura. Not joking either. Between Ron Paul's stance on independence and liberty along with Jesse's no holds barred style of speaking and knowledge base, I think they could mesmerize a nation into finally saying "screw it" concerning the same old dichotomy of either the Republicans or Dems, both opposite sides of the same counterfeit political coin that's kept in the vest pockets of the shadowy controllers. Maybe they wouldn't win, but they'd give this nation one hell of a Nantucket sleigh ride during the 2012 voting cycle, then again, just maybe…? : )

MHR > SEC Filings for MHR > Form 8-K on 30-Jan-2014 | All Recent SEC Filings |
Regulation FD Disclosure, Financial Statements and Exhibits
On January 28, 2014, Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation ("Magnum Hunter") and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the "Company") closed on the sale of certain of the Company's oil and gas properties and related assets in the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas to New Standard Energy Texas LLC ("NSE Texas"), a Texas limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of New Standard Energy Limited ("NSE"), an Australian Securities Exchange-listed Australian company. The sale was made pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "PSA"), dated January 21, 2014, among the Company, NSE Texas and NSE. Magnum Hunter previously reported the entry by the parties into the PSA pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on January 23, 2014.
The divested properties and assets consisted primarily of approximately 5,182 net leasehold acres in Atascosa County, Texas and working interests in five horizontal wells that produced an aggregate of approximately 300 BOE/d (gross) at December 1, 2013, four of which wells were operated by the Company (the "Eagle Ford Assets"). The effective date of the sale was December 1, 2013. As consideration for the Eagle Ford Assets, the Company received aggregate purchase price consideration of U.S. $15 million in cash (before taking into account customary purchase price adjustments) and 65,650,000 ordinary shares of NSE valued, for purposes of the calculation of the purchase price, at approximately U.S. $9,500,000. The final determination of the customary adjustments to the purchase price will be made by the parties approximately 120 days after closing.
In connection with the closing of the sale, Shale Hunter, LLC, a subsidiary of Magnum Hunter ("Shale Hunter"), and NSE Texas entered into the previously negotiated Transition Services Agreement (the "TSA"). The TSA provides that, during a specified transition period, Shale Hunter will provide NSE Texas with certain transitional services relating to the Eagle Ford Assets for a predetermined amount of fees, as set forth in the TSA.

In 1964, Ben Bagdikian, usually CJR's Washington correspondent, looked north to Delaware, and examined the very heavy influence of the Du Pont family on the state's largest newspapers. Control was both literal (their holding company owned the papers) and explicit (one family member asked, in writing, that news coverage become a "house organ" for a pet cause.) The article reported that, on issues from elections to the state's university, the Du Ponts had ordered editorials and news coverage that suited family members' political, financial, and personal interests. The Summer 1964 issue where the article appeared carried an unsigned editorial describing the Du Pont grandees as "men of pronounced politico-economic views who completely lack the professional's appreciation of a newspaper's obligations and responsibilities." The Du Ponts let their anger at the article be known, not by complaining to CJR, but by going directly to the president of Columbia University. The Du Ponts sold the papers to Gannett in 1978. Bagdikian's concern with the way that ownership shaped coverage in Delaware presages his later work on the dangers of the corporate press. CJR's Fall 1964 issue carried lively responses to the article, reproduced below.
The Wilmington, Delaware, newspapers, The Morning News and The Evening Journal, are, according to a standing editorial masthead, "independent" newspapers. A formal resolution issued by their owners on April 13, 1936, and presumably still in force, instructs the editors that the policy of the paper is, among other things, to "avoid blind partisanship never to misrepresent the facts either in their news or editorial columns; never to resort to suppression except for the public good always to give all sides a fair hearing on all public questions."
In this the two papers are no different from hundreds of others across the United States that also call themselves "independent" and solemnly declare that their owners insist on editorial freedom and want no fiddling with the news. As in Wilmington, their owners don't really mean it, or else the words mean one thing to editors and something else to owners.
Creed Black is an intense Kentuckian, 39 years old, with reportorial and editorial experience on Stars and Stripes, the Chicago Sun, the Chicago Herald-American, The Nashville Tennessean, and the Savannah News-Press. He seldom turns his back on a controversy ("I don't mind a fight") and until June 1 of this year was vice president and executive editor of the two Wilmington papers.
Black's departure from Wilmington is not unusual in the tribulations of the trade—it was an enactment of a ritual that goes on through American newspaperdom with all the unhappy regularity of Aztec sacrifices; and if some way is not found to end this combat the free-enterprise press could go the way of the Aztecs. For what Creed Black did overtly goes on silently and secretly in editorial offices and board rooms all over the country, in election years more than ever.
The owner of the two Wilmington papers is the Du Pont Company, which is to Delaware what God is to Heaven. More precisely, the owner is the Christiana Securities Company, a holding company that is to Du Pont what the Church is to God. Christiana was formed in pre-World War I days to buy out a faction of Du Ponts during one of the bitter family feuds. It now owns 27 percent of the Du Pont Company and all the stock of the News-Journal Company, which, with the exception of a paper of 13,600 circulation in Dover, publishes the only dailies in Delaware.
The Du Pont Company is run by an executive committee of nine men, called the ExComm. The Du Pont family interest in the company and other concerns is exercised through Christiana, whose ruling group has some seats in ExComm. There is a single room on the ninth floor of the Du Pont Building in Wilmington where the secretary of Christiana can cast one ballot to constitute a "stockholders' meeting" of the News-Journal Company.

Sochi in the Russian Imagination
Dreaming of Health and Greatness, From Stalin to Putin
DIANE P. KOENKER is a Professor and Chair of the History Department at the Univeristy of Illinois. She is author, most recently, of Club Red: Vacation Travel and the Soviet Dream.
See more by this authorRussia is back, or at least that is what you were supposed to think while watching the 2014 Sochi Olympics over the past two weeks. To prove it, Russia spent 51 billion dollars on the first-ever Winter Olympics staged in a subtropical climate zone and took great pains to showcase Russian culture, diversity, wealth, talent, and swagger during nonstop coverage of the Olympic mega-event. Although the setting might have seemed odd, it is no accident that the Black Sea resort town of Sochi was chosen to host such an extravagant celebration of Russia's return as a world power.
For Russia, Sochi symbolizes the achievements of Soviet power that wrenched a backward society out of poverty through socialism, industrialization, and authoritarian rule. Soviet leader Joseph Stalin happened to like to vacation there, and beginning in 1933, okayed massive state investments in medical facilities, cultural palaces, and infrastructure to transform the city from a malarial backwater into a showplace of medicalized leisure and purposeful play. In the Soviet imagination, the marble sanatoriums of the Sochi health resort epitomized the good life, the promise enshrined in the 1936 Soviet Constitution that every citizen enjoyed the right to a vacation. By the 1980s, everyone knew the saying, "Everyone must visit Sochi, if only once in their lives."
By staging the Olympics in Sochi, Russian President Vladimir Putin has revived the city's image as a shrine to Russian wellness and power. His unprecedented investment is a bet that a twenty-first century Sochi will become a truly world-class showcase to rival alpine resorts and the Mediterranean Riviera, a recognized successor to the greatness of Russia past.
Before Sochi was fashionable, Russian and Soviet vacationers preferred the mountains for their vacation escapes. The breathtakingly scenic North Caucasus, a region dotted with mineral water spas, attracted party officials and military men to towns such as Kislovodsk and Piatigorsk, reproducing nineteenth-century leisure culture on a more proletarian budget. Yet, like elsewhere in Europe, seacoasts that were once shunned as sites of shipwrecks and storm danger, emerged in the twentieth century as pleasure zones. The lure of the sea began to tug harder than the mountain sublimes, and vacations that combined rugged scenery with sea breezes and salt water became the ideal.

I have been following Final Fantasy XIV's evolution ever since Sony dropped the bomb of its existence at E3 2009.
Even back then, I had high hopes of an MMORPG that mixed Final Fantasy XI's story and character attachment with World of Warcraft's highly playable game interface.
An unachievable dream? As it turns out, no - but only if Square is willing to give us some much-needed improvements.
Having spent weeks hammering my way through the beta, I can attest that Final Fantasy XIV is certainly beautiful-looking game - albeit one you will need a high-end PC to run.
Eorzea is an amazing place just to walk around and the graphics are stunning for an MMO. The music, written by Nobuo Uematsu, is also fantastic, and every single piece is of such high quality and complements each area of the game brilliantly.
The battle system, meanwhile, is exactly what you would expect from an MMO of this type. Engage a mob, select your attack and once the timer bar is ready then your character will perform his or her assault. You effectively rinse and repeat this formula until either you or the mob has been defeated.
New moves are learnt as you progress through your chosen class - but you're not bound to just one. By changing the weapon/tool in your hand, you can alternate from a spell casting-type player, to a melee-type, a harvesting-type or even an item creation-type.
In a neat touch, these are all transferable - so moves that you learnt being a blacksmith and also be used while you are playing as a gladiator. There are many different route to creating your own custom character - which offers more diversity than any MMO I've seen before.
For example, learning Gladiator as a main move-set - so you can become a tank class - is complemented by also learning early marauder moves, because of the hate generating properties these generate. Likewise, by combining gladiator and miner classes you can help your characters moves become much more focused and gain larger accuracy in your attacks.
A large part of any MMORPG is completing quests, which in Final Fantasy XIV are called Guild Leves. Guild Leves are obtained by visiting an NPC who will offer you up to eight Guild Leves every 48 hours - so teamwork and sharing them with other players becomes essential.
Guild Leves revolve around killing a type of mob a certain number of times or, more notably, by gathering a set amount of a particular item.
This can be achieved either through a gathering class (like mining or logging) or by defeating a mob that will drop the item you're after on their demise.
Alternatively, there are also Regional Leves, which are quests based around a creation class. One Regional Leve had me using my blacksmithing skill to create a sword for an NPC. However, in the materials for the task were supplied and didn't need to be hunted out - which made skilling up this potentially mundane creation class quick and easy. Let's face it, farming materials takes a lot of fun out crafting jobs.
This, along with countless other examples, showed how cleverly and seamlessly FFXIV has been put together - and demonstrates a developer in Square that really understands what makes a great MMO.
It's very rare for an MMO to launch without its problems, however - and FFXIV is no different.
The decision not to include an auction house system is an awful one. Instead, you hire an NPC to stand in a packed market room - as does everybody else - and players have to discuss trading with each NPC one at a time to get the best price. It's a painstaking process.

DescriptionOfficer Bernadette Manuelito found the dead man slumped over in the cab of a blue pickup abandoned in a dry gulch off a dirt road, with a rich ex-con's phone number in his pocket . . . and a tobacco tin nearby filled with tracer gold. It's her initial mishandling of the scene that spells trouble for her supervisor, Sergeant Jim Chee of the Navajo Tribal Police, but it's the echoes of a long-ago crime that call the legendary former Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn out of retirement. Years earlier, Leaphorn followed the trail of a beautiful, young, and missing wife to a dead end, and his failure has haunted him ever since. But ghosts never sleep in these high, lonely Southwestern hills. And the twisted threads of craven murders past and current may finally be coming together, thanks to secrets once moaned in torment on the desert wind. About the AuthorTony Hillerman was the former president of the Mystery Writers of America and received its Edgar® and Grand Master awards. His other honors include the Center for the American Indians Ambassador Award, the Silver Spur Award for the best novel set in the West, and the Navajo Tribes Special Friend Award.

Karateka is a karate-wrapped love story set in feudal Japan, the new Karateka is reimagined for today's digital platforms including XBLA, PSN, Steam and iOS. Best known as the creator of Prince of Persia, Jordan was one of the original garage game makers building the first Karateka in the Apple II at Yale more than 30 years ago. The original Karateka became a number one bestseller when it was released in 1984, and influenced a generation of gamers with its groundbreaking rotoscoped animation and cinematic cutscenes, (It's not uncommon to hear old school gamers mention Karateka as a defining game in their game playing history—ask them what happened when they finally approached the princess) Karateka pioneered many of the elements Jordan brought to his next game, Prince of Persia.

Detecting virtual keyboard open and close events in Symbian^3
Applications running on Symbian touch devices may want to react to software input panel (virtual keyboard) state events; for example, to improve user experience by immediately processing the input after virtual keyboard is dismissed. Qt provides QEvent::CloseSoftwareInputPanel event, but it's sent only after the target widget has lost focus.
This code snippet uses QValueSpaceSubscriber to detect virtual keyboard state changes. The code depends on a Publish and Subscribe key that is only available on Symbian^3 platform.
#include <QValueSpaceSubscriber>
QValueSpaceSubscriber* vkbState = new QValueSpaceSubscriber("/vkb/state", this);
QObject::connect(vkbState, SIGNAL(contentsChanged()), this, SLOT(handleStateChanged()));
Declaring /vkb/state value state path
Create a new .qcrml file, with following content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<repository target="RProperty" version="" uidName="KPSUidAknFep" uidValue="0x100056de">
<key ref="/vkb/state" int="0x00000004"/>
Changes to .pro file
Add the following definitions to .pro file:
CONFIG += mobility
MOBILITY += publishsubscribe
symbian: {
crml.pkg_postrules = "\"pskeydefs.qcrml\" - \"c:/resource/qt/crml/pskeydefs_$${TARGET}.qcrml\""
DEPLOYMENT += crml
Warning: While this article shows how the Publish and Subscribe API can be used to access keys defined and populated by other applications, creating such a *.qcrml file raises the deployment problem. In Symbian each file can be owned and deployed by only one package, so if two applications are using this solution and attempt to install the pskeydefs.qcrml file, the second app will always fail. The uninstall sequence is also problematic, since one of the apps could remove the file while other installed apps still need it.
Above solution tries to avoid these problems by modifying the deployed .qcrml filename to include also the name of the application (TARGET), thus making it unique.
Example project
File:Vkbstatetest qtmobility symbian3.zip (can be self-signed, doesn't use any capabilities)

Gay candidate welcomes Boris to Mayoral race
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Whoever is the candidate, I hope they beat livingstone.
"This process is all about democracy – they don't have that nowadays in the Labour party." Thus spoke Andrew Boff.Better for him to have said…"this process is all about some semblance of democracy…". We in the UK do not have pure democracy, we've never had it and probably never will. True democracy confers "equal" rights on ALL citizens. To date, only five countries have it and the USA and UK are not among them.Robert, ex-pat Brit, USA.
Be interested to see what he says he will do if he gets the job. This report just seems like nasty politics -didnt the "democratic lefts" preferred candidate sit down to tea with someone who wants us thrown off tall buildings?
I must agree with all statements.But bless Boris. The man is a legend for screwing up and he can do no worse than Livingstone. Livingstone, granted has developed London but through the business door – the city love him; equality groups love him. What happens when the money runs out?But Boris, well I'm yet to see him do more than write a few books and talk rubbish on TV. But it does keep political entertainment going.
Ken has a clear record on supporting lesbian and gay rights – his support for London Pride, for example, and his setting up of the partnership register in London which pressed the government to change the law allowing civil partnerships. Just think what London would be like with a homophobic mayor. Boris Johnson's homophobia isn't limited to the quotes used in the article. He defended Section 28 in the Daily Telegraph on 3 August 2000: 'the essence of that Tory case is unchanged… it is more sensitive to spare parents' anxieties, than to allow Left-wing local authorities to waste taxpayers' money on idiotic and irrelevant homosexual instruction.'And his quote on 'pulpit poofs': 'I first met the Bishop [of Liverpool] a few weeks ago at a gloomy convocation of top clergy and journalists in Windsor Castle. The hacks were thin on the ground… I can say that the clerics gave us a wigging for being so mean to the Church of England… Why did we draw attention to tricky subjects like homosexuality, aka the Pulpit Poofs issue?'Lesbians and gay men voting against Ken Livingstone, and particularly for a homophobe like Boris Johnson, would be worse than turkeys voting for Christmas.
I wholeheartedly agree with the criticisms of Boris Johnson and his terrible record on LGBT rights. Despite Johnson's protestations his views are dangerous and anaethema to London's diverse communities. For example he made clear his opposition to repealing Section 28 writing in The Spectator of: 'Labour's appalling agenda, encouraging the teaching of homosexuality in schools, and all the rest of it.' (The Spectator 15 April 2000) He wrote of Labour overturning the House of Lords to establish an equal age of consent at 16 was an example of 'elective dictatorship'. More recently he said that if gay marriage was to be legal then why not 'a union' of 'three men and a dog'. Boris Johnson's remarks and record on LGBT rights is something that all Londoners should oppose and I for one will be backing Ken Livingstone and his fantastic history of supporting our community in his bid for re-election to be Mayor.
Luke – your stance is astounding. You do realise that the candidate who came second in both mayoral elections were the Tories? This means your "anyone but Livingstone" position will end up as a pro-Tory position.By far and away, Ken is the best candidate for the Lesbian and Gay communities – he has a proven track record of defending and advancing Lesbian and Gay rights from the 80s onwards, at a time when homosexuality was not as acceptable as it is now in politics. The Tories have a historic track record OF BEING HOMOPHOBIC, such as the instigation of section 28. Even Gay members, such as current London Assembly Chair Brian Coleman, have opposed Livingstone on supporting Pride assemblies in Eastern Europe. Ken's stance on this is only a small part of the all encompassing agenda and initiatives that he has advocated for our communities. Others have already commented on this so I wont repeat. Johnson would be a disaster for the Lesbian and Gay communities in london. Im shocked that there are people within our community who do not realise what is at stake with the leadership of London government.

The environment in which your great-great-grandmother lived, breathed, ate and drank might be responsible for health problems endured by you, your children, even your children's children.
This is the disconcerting conclusion of a preliminary study, which experts say could help shift our understanding of disease — reproductive disorders, in particular — as well as how we perceive the consequences of everyday choices such as drinking out of a plastic water bottle.
"People can be cavalier with their own health," said Bruce Blumberg, a biologist at the University of California, Irvine, who was not involved in the study. "But it's not just ourselves that are at risk. We're condemning our descendants to have increased risks, too."

Non-Fiction - paperback; Picador; 272 pages; 2003.
This is a searing and incredibly moving account of Sebold's rape as an 18-year-old college freshman in 1981. Brutally honest from cover to cover, Sebold does not pull any punches, whether describing her emotionally cold upbringing, the rape itself or the friends won and lost during the psychological fallout following the tragedy.
I found this a gripping true-life story, so gripping that I read it in one sitting. Sebold's bravery, not just in surviving the rape and helping to secure the conviction of her attacker, but in putting her experience down on paper to share with complete strangers, is incredibly inspiring. This is a heart-wrenching, disturbing and — surprisingly — witty book that will stay with the reader long after the last page is turned.
And for those who have read Sebold's The Lovely Bones, it is an interesting insight into that novel's exploration of how a brutal crime can impact on an entire family.
