A wistful young woman, her cruel stepmother and stepsisters, a fairy godmother and her handsome prince: the classic story of Cinderella is a treat for all ages, now brought to life in the grand tradition of Russian ballet. Complete with a lavish set and sumptuous costumes, this production of Cinderella was originally choreographed by Rostislav Zakharov for the premiere of Sergei Prokofiev's glorious score at the Mariinsky Theater in 1945. With more than 50 dancers, the Russian National Ballet performs this masterpiece under the artistic direction of former Bolshoi principal dancer Elena Radchenko.

The Presidency on Sunday alleged that the former FCT Minister who is also the Deputy National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, was attacking President Goodluck Jonathan, because he sought a favour which was not granted.
A statement by the Special Assistant (New Media) to the President, Mr. Reno Omokri, in Abuja, described as unfortunate, el-Rufai's comments contained in the interview published in a national daily, not The Punch, on Saturday.
Omokri said El-Rufai had also said in the interview that "nothing can make Jonathan succeed and that the President is grossly incompetent, because he doesn't listen, and doesn't even understand the issues."
But the Presidential aide urged the public "not to be misled by the machinations of el-Rufai, a man who is in dire need of prayers and perhaps psychological assistance."
Omokri alleged that "Nasir el-Rufai wanted something from the President which was why he visited him at the Presidential Villa to heap unsolicited praise on the President in 2010."
He added, "When he did not get what he wanted, he became bitter and since the days of yore when the fox that could not get the grapes tagged them 'sour grapes' to mask its frustration, it has always been the habit of persons who cannot compete on the basis of ideas to give a dog a bad name in order to hang it."
"Thus, El-Rufai, having run out of ideas, has tagged this administration as 'incompetent," Omokri stated.
But El-Rufai through his media advisor, Mr. Muyiwa Adekeye, challenged the Presidency to make public the request he made which was turned down by Jonathan.
He noted that el- Rufai had anticipated the discomfort which his latest newspaper interview would cause the Presidency, and he was not surprised by the resort to innuendos in the statement the Presidency released.
He said, "The personal attacks on me cannot redress the competence deficit that afflicts this government or make the poor performance go away.
"I have never asked anything from the Jonathan government, and I challenge them to make public any such request. The history of my meetings with Jonathan upon my return from exile in 2010 is detailed in my book.
"Jonathan is the one who requested my support for his presidential ambition, a request I declined. After the three meetings in 2010, they have sent a variety of people to solicit cooperation and make offers which I have rejected.
"Regarding my relationship with General Muhammad Buhari, there is no doubt that we have had our differences. But we have put those behind us in our quest to help this country achieve the quality of leadership that can pull it from potential to greatness.
"Some of us speak candidly, but we are also educated enough to act on new information and reflections," he added.
Omokri nevertheless recalled that contrary to his position in the interview, El-Rufai had at a meeting with Ambassador John Campbell in April of 2007 described Jonathan, the then Vice Presidential nominee of the People's Democratic Party, as a clean and honest leader".
He also added that El Rufai had told the ambassador that "Jonathan was the only candidate that met Obasanjo's guidelines, which was honesty and being an Ijaw."

Live: Carnival Christens Carnival Splendor in Dover
Morning grey skies gave way to blue, and with Dover's cliffs and castle to the portside and the open sea starboard,
Carnival Cruise Lines
christened its newest mega-ship,
Carnival Splendor
. Genre-bending classical musician cum popular TV personality Myleene Klass performed the duties as godmother from the Lido Deck, with help at sea level from the Royal British Navy.
Ms. Klass smiled broadly as she prayed for fair winds and smooth seas, before taking her seat at a piano and launching into a classical rendition of Rod Stewart's "Sailing." With the music as cue, out of the water emerged petty officer Christian Rumming looking like a secret agent. Decked out in full dive regalia -- mask, fins, wetsuit -- Rumming proceeded to scale Splendor's hull, up some 60 feet of rope to the ship's name. There he produced a bottle of 1994 vintage Nyetimber English sparkling wine, smashing it confidently against the hull. Fireworks erupted, confetti streamed down, the ship's horn boomed, and the onlookers, including international press, specially invited Splendor crew, favored passengers and CEO's from all eight of Carnival Corp's brands, cheered wildly.
In tune with Carnival's laid-back style, the occasion was loose and breezy -- with Ms. Klass' dress threatening to fly up in the wind on several occasions. "It only worked for Marilyn," she quipped to the crowd's approval, one hand keeping her attire in place. Held on the midship Lido deck in front of Splendor's giant outdoor movie screen, the event opened with energetic renditions of wedding party standards such as "Hot, Hot, Hot" and "Great Balls of Fire," as well as acrobatic performances (flipping on springing stilts and break dancing) by G-force, Carnival's newest production team.
Drinks were served, and with no actual seating, the event felt like a huge cocktail party, with guests crowding around the stage when the time to name the ship arrived.
It was also very much a British affair: Instead of smashing French Champagne against the hull, as is cruise ship naming convention, a bottle of British sparkling wine was selected. Famed Carnival blogger
John Heald
served as master of ceremonies, and will hold the position of cruise director onboard Splendor. And the setting -- the chalky white cliffs of Dover -- a decidedly romantic image of Britain, couldn't have been more fitting.
Fancy having a firsthand look at the event? The christening was taped live, and is available for download on the
Carnival Web site
Splendor will depart this evening for a special three-night party cruise, before making several Northern Europe voyages out of Dover, becoming the largest cruise ship ever to sail out of the Southeast England port.
Stay tuned for our sneak preview of the ship, coming soon.

Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel, San Miguel de Allende
Corner of Cuna de Allende and Umaran streets
San Miguel de Allende
San Miguel de Allende
Concierge.com's insider take:
The pink, Gothic-style Parroquia is to the city what Gaudí's Sagrada Família is to Barcelona—an ecclesiastic edifice doubling as its metropolitan soul. Dating to the 17th century and set on the south side of the Jardín Principal, the church clearly evokes similarities to important European Gothic counterparts, although its current incarnation dates to more recent 18th- and 19th-century facelifts. Its elaborate spires are an endearing landmark both for their beauty and their location—you can spot them from almost anywhere in the city and find your way to the center of town.—Maribeth Mellin

All boa products have lifetime guarantees. Go to their website and order yourself a new knob/mechanism/thing. It will be free when you add it to your cart. Order couple extra cables etc while you're at it.

I have no idea what the problem is but it might be that the mechanism is slipping. Eventually the springs will wear down and lose their holding power. So I'm guessing it probably the knob.
You you dont need a receipt or anything. Just enter your boot model. Make sure to look at your boots closely and pic the right parts. They have a lot of different models. When I used Boa I took the parts to my local shop when it was quiet. Its actually pretty simple if you have the patience. Everything comes with instructions. |

St. Lawrence RiverFor Quebecers, the St. Lawrence River is the heart of Québec and thus of profound importance. It was the gateway through which the first European settlers arrived in North America and a source of their economic, social and cultural development in the centuries that followed. In sum, the St. Lawrence River shaped Québec as we know it today. The shores of the river and its tributaries are home to over 80% of Québec's population, and 50% of Quebecers get their drinking water from these watercourses.
HistoryOver time, the concentration of human settlements on the shores of the St. Lawrence River and its tributaries, coupled with substantial industrial and agricultural development, led to major environmental problems. At the beginning of the 20th century, the St. Lawrence was thought to be relatively safe from pollution, but by the end of the 1970s, despite its impressive flow, the river was no longer effective at diluting the wastewater discharged into it. The river had become so degraded that fewer and fewer recreational activities were being carried out there and a number of fish species were seriously threatened. Faced with the accelerated degradation of the river's water quality, the Québec government took immediate action by creating programs to curb the different sources of pollution diminishing the quality of the St. Lawrence and its tributaries. Among others, in 1978 the Québec government set up a highly ambitious water treatment program (Programme d'assainissement des eaux du Québec) under the responsibility of the Ministère de l'Environnement. The program included three components: urban, agricultural and industrial wastewater treatment. The efforts and initiatives undertaken by the Québec government and its socioeconomic partners since 1978 to clean up, conserve and protect the St. Lawrence River and its tributaries constitute unprecedented and key milestones in this regard. They paved the way for coordination and harmonization agreements between the governments of Canada and Québec, the first of which, the St. Lawrence Action Plan (SLAP), was signed in 1988. The SLAP was renewed in 1994 as St. Lawrence Vision 2000 and again on June 8, 1998, for another five years. Overview and follow-up indicators on the state of the St. Lawrence RiverOn June 1, 2006, the governments of Canada and Québec announced the implementation of the St. Lawrence Plan For a Sustainable Development Phase IV – 2005-2010 that emerged from the most recent five-year cooperation agreement between the two levels of government. This agreement represented the continuation of preceding agreements that have governed Canada-Québec St. Lawrence River collaboration since 1988. The Overview of the State of the St. Lawrence River 2008 was prepared as part of the State of the St. Lawrence Monitoring Program. This overview, which shows that the St. Lawrence River current state of health is in the intermediate to good range, was prepared by five St. Lawrence Plan partners: the Ministère du Développement durable, de l'Environnement et des Parcs du Québec, Environment Canada, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Stratégies Saint-Laurent and the Ministère des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune du Québec. In order to assess the state of the St. Lawrence River ecosystem and its evolution, the partners selected 21 environmental indicators that are related to the ecosystem's main basic components: the water, riverbed, shores, biological resources and usage. These indicators form part of the partners' individual permanent data acquisition programs. Hydrographic BoundariesThe St. Lawrence River alone receives water from seven of the hydrographic regions containing all 430 major watersheds in Québec, covering one third of Québec's total area. |

Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer is the growth of cancer cells in the pancreas. The pancreas is a long, flattened pear-shaped organ in the abdomen. It makes digestive enzymes and hormones, including insulin.
The Pancreas
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Cancer occurs when cells in the body divide without control or order. Normally, cells divide in a regulated manner. If cells keep dividing uncontrollably when new cells are not needed, a mass of tissue forms, called a growth or tumor. The term cancer refers to malignant growths. These growths can invade nearby tissues. Cancer that has invaded nearby tissues can then spread to other parts of the body.
It is not clear exactly what causes these problems in the cells, but it is probably a combination of genetics and environment.

Rack Basics
There are many options to choose from when selecting a rack system. Our sales professionals can help you choose the type of rack that best suits your application.
Pallet racks create order and maximize storage density in a warehouse, making good use of floor space and ceiling height.
Basic pallet rack consists of upright steel frames connected by horizontal steel beams. Pallets rest on the beams between the frames. Two frames and the corresponding beams form a bay of rack. Your pallet load height and the amount of vertical space you have available will determine how many pallet positions you can get in a bay of rack.
Typical rack frames range from 12 to 24 in height and the most common beam width is 8.
Rack components can be made of roll-formed steel or structural steel. Our salespeople can help you determine which type is best for your warehouse.
Single-deep Selective Racks
Selective rack is the most common type of racking. It is called Selective because you have access to every pallet in the system without having to move any other pallet loads. In other words, you can select any pallet load from the system.
Depending on the type of fork trucks used, selective rack can employ aisles ranging from 5 wide to 15 wide. The most common aisle spacing is designed for the standard sit-down fork truck and is typically 12 wide.
The most common style of selective rack is roll-formed rack with 42 deep uprights and 8 wide beams rated at 5000 pounds capacity per pair of beams. However, we offer a wide range of capacities because each customers application is a little different. Please refer to our capacity chart for selective racks.
Selective rack is the least expensive rack available, based on cost per pallet position.
Click for Upright & Beam Capacity Charts
Double-deep Selective Racks
Double deep rack stores one pallet load behind another by combining two rows of standard selective rack. You can double the density of your storage system utilizing this system, but you limit the access to pallets and decrease the flexibility of your warehouse.
To access the second pallet the first pallet position must be empty. This necessitates double handling. It also requires the use of reach trucks that can extend into the second bay of rack.
Drive-In Rack
Drive-in rack allows for very dense storage because you can store up to 10 pallet loads deep. It is normally used when you have many pallets of the same product and rotation is not your foremost concern.
In a drive-in system, lift trucks drive into the front end of the rack bay (lane), retrieve or place the pallet load, and then back out of the lane. There are no beams across the bay as there would be in a selective rack. Drive-in rack uses rails to support the edges of the pallets which allow the fork trucks to enter and exit the racks unimpeded.
Pallets in a drive-in system are stored on a last in, first out basis (LIFO). Each bay is typically dedicated to a single product, making it very useful for warehouses that need to store large quantities of the same product.
Drive-Through Rack
Drive-Through rack is exactly the same as drive-in rack except that it allows fork trucks to enter from either end of the bay. These racks must be tied at the top to provide the stability and rigidity required in a rack system.
Drive-Through allows more accessibility to pallets but then requires an aisle at each end of the rack. However, having aisles at both ends allows for First In First Out storage (FIFO).
Push Back Rack
Push back rack combines a stationary rack structure with nested carts (or modular track) that allows the pallets to move forward and backward in the rack. Pallets are loaded and unloaded from the front. In a typical push back system, the first pallet is placed on the top cart; when the second pallet is placed in the rack, the fork truck uses the new pallet to push on the first, exposing the second cart, and so on.
Push back systems are usually configured for 2 to 5 deep storage. It offers very dense storage and fairly good selectivity. If you have 2 to 5 pallets of the same product and LIFO is acceptable, it is an ideal system. It eliminates the need for the fork truck to enter the rack and therefore is less susceptible to fork truck damage.
Push back systems only require one aisle because you access them from the front only, thus increasing the storage density of your warehouse.
Although these systems offer much better access and selectivity than drive-in systems, they are much more expensive due to the carts or tracks that are required.
Flow Through Racks
Gravity flow rack combines a stationary rack structure with skatewheel or roller conveyor to create a dynamic storage system. Pallets are loaded into the back of the rack and then travel down the slightly inclined lane of conveyor towards the front of the rack, where they are unloaded.
Flow rack systems provide high-density storage by allowing you to store many pallets deep. They also provide for stock rotation as it is an FIFO system, making it a good choice for dated products.
Flow racks are also a more expensive type of rack because of the conveyor involved, with costs per pallet position that can exceed $300. However, they are ideal for coolers and freezers where the space itself is very expensive.
Other Types of Rack
Portable racks (stack racks)
Carpet racks
Bar racks

awwwwwww^^ i loved your poem it was really sweet
This world is full of darkness
The people, they don't see
What you mean to me
I tried to live without you
Find the strength in me
But ever since I found you
You are the one I need
The kisses on my cheek
Your heartbeat next to mine
The feel of your arms
All of these surround me
I know it's not for real
The clawing in my gut reminds
But somehow I still feel
You right here beside me
I know most won't believe
Don't want you to see
All the wonderful things that happen
When I know you love me
So I'll tell you once again
What you mean to me
I will love you forever
More than anything it seems
Let's forget what others think
What they have said to me
It has never mattered cuz'
You are the one I have always and continue to see

Jonathan Segal, FAIA, can't resist a challenge. When building his own house, the San Diego–based architect/builder/developer chose an irregularly shaped lot in busy downtown La Jolla, right across from the town's commercial center.
This calm, primal dwelling was Bohlin Cywinski Jackson's response to a remarkable landscape, a forest and field overlooking a preserve for migratory eagles and hawks.
The uncomplicated form and plan of this bay-front home in Ontario won the judges' admiration. The home's layout is organized along a circulation spine that parallels the austere, cedar-covered front facade.
When faced with a site as lovely as this Northern California knoll, most architects wouldn't be able to resist designing a house that's just as dramatic. But Turnbull Griffin Haesloop restrained itself, and the result is a house whose intimate relationship to the land won over the judges.
When asked for ideas that would drive the design of their house, these clients came up with a fitting metaphor: a Saab. The house, they said, should be like the car: clean of line, well-crafted, and a little quirky in form.
The judges appreciated this project's "witty vernacular," deeming it "very appropriate for the location."
This lakeside house, like a family, has its secrets and surprises. The facade's simple stone wall gives few clues to the complexity of spaces inside.

text: 3 Bug island reviewKyakou | 08/03/2008 | See all Kyakou's reviews (2)I think this game is underated. Theres lots of areas to explore in this game and also you can go back to the time cave and rescue any of your friends that have died. Sometimes this game is scary when playing alone in the dark. Music can get repetetive along with sound effects. Also if you complete this game you could always to a harder difficulty. The controls could of been better because when you try to do a powerfull attack most of the time the character does a light attack. Some of the enemies are a pian to kill because some times you have to go right up close to see them but the idea about turning the torch off so enemies cant see you is great. Over all i would give this game a 6.5/10 and if you like Resident Evil or anyother horror game you probably would like this.

The Horner family line is my basic interest. I am searching for information on William John Horner and his father, John Horner, supposedly a boatman on the Ohio River. My lines cross with Kelso around 1875. Reasearch needs include Altha Belle Morris (b 1890), daughter of Silas Loomis Morris and any data for Irene Nellie Thrap (b 1910). In the last 60 years our clan has gone somewhat haywire and no one cares to shake our tree and see what falls out. This is where I step in. I have traced my lineage back to 1855 in Pennsylvania and will have to overcome the challenges of dwindling information to use. So what else is new? Any data acquired from any source is welcome and perhaps used if everything checks out. If you care to submit any data to me, please feel free to do so. If I happen to have information you could use, I'd be more than happy to oblige you. Help yourself to anything useful you might find in my current database. Happy hunting and good luck! bjh |

The mini shotgun pouch will allow you to fire a small tight cluster of up to 5 bbs at a target. This provids multiple impacts to the target and is strongly recommended for long distance targets. When shooting a can that is 80 feet away, the cluster open up to 6 inches wide. If the shooter is slightly off target by 2 to 3 inches, one or more of the BBs will hit the target. Hitting a can 140 feet away with a pistol without a pistol rest very difficult. Hitting a can 140 feet away with a PS-60 slingshot would seem impossible however, with a cluster of BBs it becomes not so difficult.
There is almost no difference in velocity when shooting a single BB or 5 BBs at a time. The cost of BBs is not expensive. At walmart you can get 5,000 BBs for 6 dollars which puts the cost of a BB around 1/10 of a penny. Thus, shooting a cluster is still cheap.
The mini shotgun pouch uses 2 light weight metal studs which are stiched into the leather pouch. This keeps the BBs from rolling out of the pouch when the slingshot is fired. Shooting several BBs from a pouch without these two metal studs are some what dangerous because if a BB rolls out early while the pouch is still flying forward, the BB could go off in a tangent and hit something that it shouldn't.

At Locust Projects this past Saturday night, Diego Bianchi gleefully tinkered with his unruly installation, not unlike Rube Goldberg on the eve of destruction.
Unsuspecting spectators strolling through Wynwood's season-opening gallery walk might have felt ambushed by the Argentine artist's psychedelic phantasmagoria, a scene even Timothy Leary would have been hard-pressed to hatch.
Over a 10-day period, Bianchi had trashed Locust, filling the space with a battered boat hull, heaps of garbage, and a slick sheen of mud. He puts rock stars — and their lifetime hotel bans for taking wrecking balls to their rooms — to shame.
A phrase, spray-painted on a gallery wall, wittily warned viewers: "This is not Chelsea. This is Miami, where the sun boils the blood."
Signs of heat stroke were evident everywhere, as slapdash fountains arranged strategically across the filthy floor spewed foamy streams of soap bubbles. Hundreds of LifeSavers candies dangled from fishing line, twirling like noxious snowflakes overhead.
Bianchi's sprawling installation, Wake Me up When the Present Arrives, was one of the marquee attractions during this weekend's art season kickoff, where themes of natural disasters, car wrecks, and general mayhem drew many folks like moths to a dim light.
The 37-year-old Bianchi has earned a bad-boy rep for his outlandish nightmare-scapes, usually concocted from garbage and sundry household cleaning products. The craptravaganza at Locust might be his most ambitious to date.
Bianchi's hope is that viewers will root under the varnish of lunacy to "consider natural disasters as a possibility for a new order of things." Judging by some of the spectators' glazed peepers, thoughts of a lawsuit or insurance claim appeared to be rattling skulls instead.
Although the artist created plank pathways for people to navigate his toxic marshland, few dared. Those who did are unlikely to forget the burbling fountains fashioned from beer cups, yogurt containers, and slimy refrigerator trays, or the bright orange carrot sticks, shiny CDs, and mangled bicycle frames erupting from the squishy carpet of dirt.
One wall was covered in the sawed-in-half casings of Mercury outboard motors; another was pin-cushioned with empty potato chip bags. A column was papered completely with tourism brochures for Florida attractions such as Monkey Jungle, the Kennedy Space Center, and an alligator farm.
For anyone who has ever had to dig out of the rubble after a major hurricane, Bianchi's provocative piece not only nails our dread of killer disasters but also points to how fully dependant South Florida is on the natural environment and the tourists it attracts for its economic survival.
In the project room, Locust nicely complemented Bianchi's mess with Frankie Martin's Storm of Life. The tasty video piece features the artist as she yaks on a cell phone while sunning on a beach before jumping into TV weathercaster mode and maniacally gyrating her hips as sheets of rain crash on her head.
Downwind at the Fredric Snitzer Gallery, onlookers discovered rubberneck heaven while gawking at Timothy Buwalda's large oil-on-canvas paintings of car wrecks in "False Start," his first solo show at the space. The sumptuous works depict crumpled Beemers and Toyotas, their mangled husks rendered in excruciatingly clear detail. Buwalda's powerful paintings swing between photorealism and abstraction, delivering a haymaker. These were among the best canvases on display that evening.
At the Dorsch Gallery, Kyle Trowbridge's "What Makes a Boy Start Fires?" injected high-octane fuel into the car crash theme. The artist even exhibited a burned-out pearlescent Volkswagen Beetle. Simply titled 07/13/07, the piece features a car's carcass that was crisped on the recent Friday the 13th, when a child's doll was melted into the passenger seat during a fiery accident. A copy of The Catcher in the Rye rests in the back seat.
Der Lauf Der Dinge (The Way Things Go), a split-screen video projected onto a corner wall, turned the space into an orgy of carnage as more than 30 film clips on a continuous loop portrayed some of Tinseltown's most spectacular smashups. As delighted spectators at the gallery watched cars and trucks pancake wantonly and police cruisers tumble end over end toward them, they unabashedly shook their fists as destruction engulfed the room. On the other screen, a man sat in a pickup truck with his young son, who leaned out the passenger window and, sporting a devilish grin, locked eyes with viewers. The lad raised one's hackles as he joyously crashed two toy cars together over and over in his hands.
In Dorsch's main gallery, "Variations on a Theme," John Sanchez's solo show, reflected why the painter has emerged as one of South Florida's finest talents.
His evocative oil-and-acrylic-on-canvas paintings somberly depict desolate urban scenes as if they were snapped by a disposable camera through a drunken haze in the wee hours of the morning. Sanchez's works resonate loudly with the tangible force of his attention and are steeped in a surreal density of information.
Late Fix is a jewel that shows the parking lot of a pizza joint, where the shop's neon lights are refracted brilliantly from the rain-slicked asphalt and car windows.
Which Way Home?, another gem, features a lonely stretch of highway in which Sanchez telegraphs a virtuoso's gift for capturing rain on canvas. In this piece, his streetlight reflections illuminate the drenched pavement, transforming the road into a shimmering ribbon. Rare is the artist who can distill the character and hue of a passing moment with such rigorous attention to color and detail.

Prince Harry is heading back to America only months after naked photos caused of him there caused an international scandal. The snaps, in Las Vegas hotel room, were private but they were leaked around the world.
Later, the young royal spoke of how he had "let his family down" with his behaviour.
He had been letting of steam after a tour of duty in Iraq.
Now, however, the Palace has just announced that Harry will be doing an official tour later this year.
During the trip he will promote the rehabilitation of injured American and UK troops, publicise his own charities and support British interests.
A highlight will be the opening of the Warrior Games, in Colorado Springs, where injured service men and women compete. Prince Harry will also visit Washington DC, Denver, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, the prince's private secretary, said: "Prince Harry wants to highlight once again the extraordinary commitment and sacrifice of our injured servicemen and women - our wounded warriors.
"Although a prince, Harry is also an operational soldier - indeed he's a soldier's soldier - therefore throughout this briefing the recurring theme is to help recognise and bring a spotlight on to the work being done to help these outstanding young men and women."
Last August Harry was at the centre of a media storm when he visited Las Vegas and was photographed playing strip billiards.
Afterwards he said: "'At the end of the day, I was in a private area and there should be a certain amount of privacy ... The way I was treated ... I don't think is acceptable.
''Back home all my close friends rallied round me and were great. It was a classic example of me probably being too much army and not enough prince''.

Defra announces first agri-tech catalyst recipients
DEFRA has announced the first recipients of its £70 million agri-tech catalyst.
The funding, which was announced last year as part of Government's agri-tech strategy, will see an initial 11 projects receive £2.8m Government funding with an additional £1.4m co-investment from Government.
The projects span livestock, arable and aquaculture enterprises and the funding is designed to support businesses and universities to 'bridge the difficult gap between laboratory research and the marketplace'.
Projects receive funding
Seven arable projects will see funding:
- The James Hutton Institute: Leading a consortium to develop a set of tools to make it easier, cheaper and faster to incorporate useful properties from related wild plants into mainstream varieties.
- Saturn Bioponics: Working with the University of Manchester to prototype nutrient composition sensing technology for hydroponic farming.
- University of York: Working with Syngenta to investigate a new paradigm in pesticide discovery and optimisation.
- ADAS UK: Working with Sainsbury's and the University of Manchester to develop a tractor-mounted sensor to reduce the cost and carbon footprint of wheat production.
- The Royal Holloway: Working with Germains to improve seed priming – a technique used to improve the quality of vegetable seeds.
- GrowUp Urban Farms: Leading a consortium to build the UK's first aquaponic urban farm to quantify the economic and environmental potential of sustainable urban farming.
- Exosect: Working with EsEye to examine harnessing natural fungi to control insect and mite pests in grain storage.
Two livestock farms will see funding:
- University of Nottingham: Working with Quality Milk Management to improve the treatment and management of mastitis in dairy cattle.
- Cambivac Limited: Working with Moredun Scientific to develop technology to produce vaccines that more effectively control disease (PRRS) in swine.
Two aquaculture projects will see funding:
- The National Lobster Hatchery: Leading a consortium to develop novel cultivation techniques to expand the aquaculture industry to include the European Lobster.
- The Scottish Association for Marine Sciences: Leading a consortium to develop technology to farm two species of seaweed.
Agriculture and science Minister Lord De Mauley highlighted the importance of farming to the agri-food sector.
He said: "Farmers are the backbone of the £97 billion agri-food sector.
"The 11 projects announced today will be invaluable in helping them take advantage of the latest science and innovation, supporting our world-class agricultural technology sector."

Architecture, Montréal, Québec
Concierge.com's insider take:
Some of the world's leading architects have left their mark on Montréal. Expo 67 brought Buckminster Fuller's geodesic dome on St. Helen's Island, as well as the hive of cube-shaped dwellings known as Habitat 67 (2600 Pierre-Dupuy Ave.; 514-866-5971; www.habitat67.com). The four International-style buildings in Mies van der Rohe's Westmount Square, dating from 1968, are covered in a grid of windows and raised on black columns, not unlike Mies's Seagram building in New York City (1 Westmount Square). Architecture buffs can also trek to Nun's Island, just south of downtown, to see a couple of simple, geometric-grid high-rises (100 and 200 Gaspé St.) and an Esso gas station also designed by Mies.
A bit less esoteric is the Canadian Centre for Architecture. Quality, not quantity, is the motto for this restrained downtown venue. Exhibits range from architectural models to meditations on a theme using objects, images, videos, or music: A show in 2003 explored lifestyle and design in India by displaying televisions blaring Bollywood music videos; another on architectural periodicals (on view through September 2007) encompasses 70 different magazines from the 1960s and '70s. You can breeze through the exhibitions in minutes or pore over them for hours. Roundtable discussions and film screenings are often held in tandem with exhibitions. The CCA's Mellon Lecture series can be fascinating or fatiguing, depending on the speaker (1920 Baile St.; 515-939-7026; www.cca.qc.ca; closed Mon. and Tues., free on Thurs. evenings).

Could Robert Pattinson really be getting ready to pop the question to Kristen Stewart after 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1′ opens?
Yes, if a new report is correct. A Twilight insider has told In Touch magazine that the pair "are ready to commit." They can't stand bring apart, says the source.
While Twilight fans are gearing up to watch the onscreen couple Bella and Edward's long awaited wedding in Breaking Dawn, Part I, which opens Nov. 18, apparently Rob, 25, and Kristen, 21, want to get engaged at the same time.
"Robert missed Kristen. They haven't gotten to spend real time together for months and it's killing him," another source told the mag.
Now, for all you cynics who may not believe that Rob and Kristen could get engaged remember, Rob has pointed out in an interview with Italian Vanity Fairthat his parents met when "my mom was 17 and my father was 25. They are still together and seem very happy. I grew up believing that you can be together all of your life!"
He's also spoken about what type of a wedding he'd like to have. " I would want it to just be family and close friends, not somebody I've said hello to once at an awards ceremony, " he told Heat magazine.
Hmm! So stay tuned. Let's all see if it is in fact ring time for this lovey duo.
What do you think Hollywoodlifers-are Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart getting engaged?

Not 2 young, as we were 17 & 18 when we got engaged & stayed 2gether 4 2yr's 19 & 20 got married. sometimes if I was lucky he was home maybe 1 week a month because he worked over the continent, stay true 2 u r vows & partner and most of all 2 u r self. It's hard work 2 make it at times, and the promise 2 myself before I got married, but worth the while if u luv that person. Almost 30yr's in & still Happy.
I also agree with (always2sides) we weren't exposed to get that close to other ppl in a emotional way, I always had the same closed friends group.
What eva they decide & put their minds to. We all needed 2 learn through our own mistakes. :)
(The power of u r mind used correctly is the most powerful tool u would ever need, use with care in what u Will it, as what u want doesn't mean it's always the best 4 u).

What worries me, is that they'll get married and leave the acting business for directing all together. I don't want to see that happen, cause I'd miss their films. But…if they stay actors, that job ruins alot of relationships. They've proved, falling for your co-star happens. Even when you're with and care for someone else. I don't want to see them leave the big screen, and I don't want to see either of them hurt. Good luck no matter what they decide!!!! ♥

This stuff is "leaked" every so often by publicists for the Twilight franchise, who know that their relationship is good for ticket sales. It's sad but true. The rumors that they are broken up are likely truthful and this is more than likely damage control, to ease disgruntled fans who want to see the "real life" Bella and Edward sail off into the sunset.

Well, this oughta make some people very, very happy. (And by 'some people,' I mean the delusional folks who think Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are real-life incarnations of their Twilight characters.) According to In Touch Weekly, R-Patz and K-Stew are "ready to commit" and Rob wants to pop the question around the same time Breaking Dawn Part 1 opens in November.
hahaaha! This was written by another site! Could not have said it better myself! At least they put the word delusional in there. HL would not dare to do such a thing.

Best Backpacks
Schoolkids can't leave home without it: a sturdy bag to carry all the essentials. We assessed 32 backpacks for durability, practicality, and comfort to find out which were in for the long haul. Before buying, be sure that the pack fits your child, with the base resting comfortably against his lower back.
By The Good Housekeeping Institute
Special Offers
Parents are always on the lookout for spacious, comfortable, safe, durable and stylish backpacks for their kids to tote their supplies around. Children, of course, always want whats cool and in! The scientists at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute evaluated dozens of backpacks to find the safest, most comfortable, and durable packs, and then had 37 kids weigh in on style & design.
What We Looked for When Testing Backpacks
The Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) evaluated backpacks for:
- Comfort
- Portability
- Weight when empty
- Appearance
- Weight when filled
- Space Capacity
- Design Features
- Abrasion
- Water Repellency
- Sturdiness and Durability
- Fabric Strength
- Spot Staining
- Appearance
How The Good Housekeeping Research Institute Tested Backpacks
- The backpacks were evaluated with lab tests and consumer testing. The lab tested them for durability and performance. Kids tested the bags for ease of use and appearance.
- Abrasion was tested on the Wysenbeek machine. Two swatches of fabric cut from each of the fabrics on the backpacks were subjected to 15,000 rubs and a visual standard was used to average the results.
- To test water repellency, a swatch from each backpack fabric was subjected to a water spray test and a photographic visual standard was used to score the results.
- The strength of the fabrics from each backpack was tested on the Instron machine. Samples were pulled and the number of pounds of force it took to rip the fabric was recorded. The results were then averaged for an overall score.
- To test stain resistance, the fabrics from each bag were stained with cola, grass, and ink. The stains were removed using dish liquid soap and water.
- To test for physical damage from dropping, the backpack was filled with weights and dropped three times from a three-foot height.
- To test capacity, each backpack was packed with an assortment of appropriate spiral notebooks, hardcover textbooks, pencil boxes, rulers, binders, and water bottles based on the age range claimed on the backpack.
- The children were asked to rate the appearance and ease of use of the backpacks.
What to Look For When Shopping for a Backpack
- Look for backpacks made from ballistic nylon (looks like luggage fabric) or ripstop nylon. These will hold up to the beating your child is likely going to give the bag.
- Check for zipper pulls that can be easily used by your child. Zipper pulls can help your child open the backpack, reducing the stress on the zipper and thus reducing the chances of a broken one.
- Make sure your child can see inside the various compartments of the bagno parent wants to hear the constant complaint, I cant find anything in this pack!
- Make sure the backpack fits your child correctly. Put the backpack on your child and tighten the shoulder straps. The bag should then rest comfortably on your childs lower back. If there is a sternum strap, clip that together and if there is a waist strap, clip that together also. When all this is done, the bag should be comfortable on your child. Nothing should be hanging below their back.
- Shoulder straps should be curved and have some padding for greater comfort.

Tokyo investors will stay focused on the US government shutdown next week, as fears grow it could lead to a devastating debt default and strike a huge blow to the global economy.
The Nikkei's 0.94 per cent slip on Friday to a one-month low ended a week that saw the benchmark index lose 4.98 per cent, or 735.76 points, to 14,024.31, as the political deadlock in Washington dominated headlines.
The broader Topix index of all first-section shares fell 4.41 per cent, or 53.70 points, over the week to 1,163.82.
'Players will keep an eye on the US budget stand-off next week,' said Kenzaburo Suwa, strategist with Okasan Securities.
'But we may see an early end to the impasse as (President Barack) Obama appears serious by cancelling key conferences overseas,' Suwa added.
Obama axed plans to attend the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Bali and the East Asia Summit in Brunei next week, blaming political paralysis in Washington for the cancellation.
While the shutdown has fuelled jitters among investors, analysts have generally expressed even deeper concerns about the October 17 deadline to raise the US debt ceiling.
International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde warned on Thursday that a US failure to raise the borrowing limit could wreak havoc on the global economy, while the Treasury Department said a default could have a 'catastrophic' effect.
On Wall Street, the Dow ended 0.90 per cent lowe...

American Heritage Dictionary tells us that:
Samothrace: 1. An island of northeast Greece in the northeast Aegean Sea off the coast of European Turkey. The famed Winged Victory of Samothrace, now at the Louvre in Paris, was sculpted c. 200 B.C. and found on the island in 1863.
From encyclopedias, we learned that she is the goddess of victory Nike, and was standing on the prow of a sculptured ship around 300 BC, built to celebrate a naval victory, and was found by a French archeologist in 1863, and now sits inside France. The sculpture is one of the finest in history, a treasure of humanity.
Upon research of this goddess am bumped into this piece from Greece:〔http://www.esiemth.gr/BKT_EN/xxxxxxxx.htm〕(link dead as of 2006. (local copy)), purportedly by the "Editors Association of Macedonia-Thrace Daily Newspapers", written in 2001, wailing of the looting and for the return of Nike Of Samothrace from France back to her rightful birthplace. The essay is eloquent. However, the human animals under natural conditions do not give to pleas but forces of physics. If the Greeks demand repatriation with sparkling cannons and ships, then the French certainly would give it a serious thought. Either by nature or by history, winners take all. Looting and pillage is a common play in records. As of recent, the most powerful nation in the 21th century the United States Of America in 2003 under George Walker Bush's lead is plundering and pillaging a weak nation Iraq. 〔➤ Photos of Iraq War〕
This famous sculpture is found in 1820 at Greek island of Melos. It is a marble sculpture, dates to around 130 BC, 203 cm high, and its creator is Agesandros, from Antioch on the Meander. The arms are missing, but one may be upholding a apple and the other drooped holding her garment. It is purchased by France and currently sits at Louvre Museum of Paris.
As you can see, the world renowned statues Aphrodite Of Melos and Nike Of Samothrace so happens are armless. The fact of their armlessness must have contributed to the esteem of their beauty and popularity. This is because, the threat and hostility of human animals mostly came from their arms. Thus, the suppression or open display of arms is often a expression of friendliness. We can see this in for example the arms-up posture of surrender, or the arms up in worship, or the sexual attractiveness when a female presses her open-palms agaist the wall as rendering it visible and difficult for hostile movements. We can also see it in the language, where "unarmed" means without weapons. A armless woman, has immense subliminal sexual connotations. In fact, fantasies of amputated women is a mainstay in at least modern SM (sadomasochism) subculture.
I asked her why she wears such a avatar, she said she has a amputee fetish. She expressed that she wanted to or fantasize in being one.
Real armless women:

This was the very first Chagrin Valley lotion bar I tried and I was completely sold at once. The scent is a bit different, my DH thinks that it smells stuffy while I'm liking the little weird, calming scent (which I can't even describe - it's not like an essential oil so you're not getting aromatherapy here). Butter Silk really is silky, easy to rub in and melts pretty fast. I like it!
Ingredients: Unrefined cocoa butter; Morwah Butter, Organic Virgin Shea Butter; Camellia Oil; Avocado Butter; Calendula infused Grapeseed oil; Unrefined Beeswax; Jojoba oil; organic cornstarch; and vitamin E oil.

What do you see the guard position looking like at beginning of the season?
The offensive line, and the guard spot in particular, is indeed an area of concern. That was a major factor in the team selecting tackle

Carson Palmer says he's going to retire if the Bengals don't trade him. Can he retire and then go back to the NFL to play with another team? Is that even allowed?
Chris Morton
Palmer will be under the Bengals control for the life of his contract, which has four years left and runs through 2014. If Cincinnati chooses not to trade him, then Palmer would be unable to play for any other team unless he fulfills those four years. He can't retire and come back for the 2015 season and simply pick his new team. If he doesn't honor the contract his flexibility would be zero. If he truly wants to play for another team, he'd have to get traded or released in order to do so.
Paul Perillo
Why would an owner need the court's permission to close his facility? And how can the employees (players) force him to open it in court? Is that specific to the NFL?
Ted K.
A lot of this stuff is specific to the NFL – or professional sports at the very least. In simplest terms, the owners don't want to shut down their business; they're simply looking to lower percentages of revenue the players will receive. The owners didn't need anyone's permission to do this but the players sought help from the courts to ensure their rights and initially won and each side is now awaiting an appeal. The players felt they had the right to earn a living and argued they were willing to do so but were prevented by the owners' lockout. Therefore, the courts were involved. Ultimately we will find out if the courts deem these actions to be lawful or not.
Paul Perillo
I have always felt that if a player commits an illegal hit that injures a player, causing said player to miss games, the penalty should be every game the injured player sits out. So, if James Harrison takes out a player and that injured player is out for six games, Harrison should sit for the same number of games if it's deemed it was an illegal hit by the NFL. Then you'll see players playing the game hard but yet within the guidelines.
Chop Block33
This post actually came in on our new comment section of Patriots.com in regard to our "Debate Friday" post last week. We offered opinions on the league's proposal of fining teams for having multiple offenses on illegal hits. This poster suggests suspensions to coincide with any injury sustained by virtue of the illegal hit. I feel that wouldn't be a wise course to take. First, not all illegal hits result in injuries. So, a lucky offender who disregards the rules could skate without a suspension if he's fortunate enough not to injure anyone. Second, and more importantly, opposing teams could certainly use this to their advantage. Let's create a situation where the Patriots play the Jets and Darrelle Revis is guilty of hammering
Paul Perillo
I don't agree with the new rules. Football is a tough sport and always has been. As they continue to add these special rules they're chipping away at the very character of the game. The toughness and the potential danger are part of the appeal of the game. Going out on the playing field in difficult circumstances while fighting back your inner fears and still getting the job done is what it's all about. Football is like a metaphor on life. Life is not easy and it's seldom fair. In life there are winners, losers and whiners. And personal character is usually the deciding factor in how it plays out. I don't want to see the game watered down anymore or we may all just as well start watching ping pong matches. I hear that's really exciting.
This is another comment from our "Debate Friday" post and one that, although put in harsher terms than I would use, I generally agree with. We've spoken about the recent movement to curtail the violence in football at length on our "PFW in Progress" shows over the years and we all agree that dangerous, intentional headshots have no place in the game. But things are starting to get a bit out of control the other way when perfectly legitimate hits are being deemed illegal based on a player being defenseless and whatnot. To me, all of this can be simplified greatly by using the unnecessary roughness penalty to cover all bases. As we say on the show, you know unnecessary roughness when you see it. You don't need competition committees to detail every last item of the rule book. Let the players play and the officials officiate.
