With the early fog finally beginning to clear, Renaults 2008 challenger took to the track at Valencia late on Monday morning. Behind the wheel was the man charged with putting the team back on the podium this season, former world champion Fernando Alonso.
There was a media scrum around the Renault garage as Alonso and the R28 emerged for the first time, the car sporting a rather unusual-looking front wing with a pronounced spoon-shaped lower profile below its nose.
Following this weeks Spanish test, the R28 will get its official launch at a special ceremony in the French capital, Paris, next Thursday.
Improved visibility meant Williams were also able to resume work with their new car, the Toyota-powered FW30, following its debut earlier in the day with German test driver Nico Hulkenberg in the cockpit.
Renault and Williams will be joined by the other teams at Valencia from Tuesday, with testing continuing until Thursday.

Having the Latest Gold Investment News at Your Fingertips Protects Your Wealth
Do you know where most of the purchasing power in the United States comes from? In addition to reactionary economic policy that drives the printing of new dollars whenever the whim strikes, paper currency extends its reach through fractional reserve banking. In the past, currency had to be borrowed from those who were saving; now, it is stretched to the breaking point. Today, every bank loans out the maximum allowed. When you deposit $10 in a checking account, that bank can loan out all but ten percent. That $9 is passed back into the economy and deposited into another bank; 90 percent of that deposit can again be loaned. Ultimately, a $10 deposit in a checking account creates $100 in fractional currency. A single dollar, in the hands of a modern bank, can become ten or more with fractional reserve lending.
The problem with this type of economic system is that paper currencies always self-destruct. It is worth remembering the mantra: "Cash is trash!" Only precious metals like gold and silver have the ability to adjust their value, and staying up to date on gold investment news properly positions you to be able to protect your wealth. Throughout history, gold and silver automatically revalued to catch up with the changes that have occurred with paper currency, cyclically adjusting based on the amount of currency in existence at any given time. Being attuned to these cycles requires staying on top of gold investment news and picking out the relevant from the noise.
News on gold and silver can also help you pinpoint the right moments to buy and sell precious metals, allowing you to have an active role in your wealth management and financial protection efforts. GoldSilver.com™ is a cycles investors with expertise in measuring both past and current gold markets and silver markets. We provide the latest breaking gold and silver news that will position you to be ready to take immediate advantage of wealth protection opportunities as they arise.

Pressure builds for News' pay TV disclosure
PUBLISHED: 02 Apr 2012 00:01:00 | UPDATED: 02 Apr 2012 10:11:42PUBLISHED: 02 Apr 2012 PRINT EDITION: 02 Apr 2012Angus Grigg
Labour MP Tom Watson wants an independent investigation. Photo: AP
British Labour MP Tom Watson is urging the Home Secretary to investigate the relationship between Rupert Murdoch's News Corp and United Kingdom police, as fresh allegations surface about the media giant and piracy in the UK.
Surrey police has confirmed it is investigating the donation of £2000 ($3090) by the controversial security unit at the heart of the pay television piracy claims.The Australian Financial Review and the British Broadcasting Corporation have alleged that Operational Security, a unit within News Corp's technology arm, is alleged to have promoted a wave of high-tech pay TV piracy in an effort to damage News Corp's commercial rivals. News Corp and NDS have strenuously denied the allegations.
NDS said in a statement last week that the £2000 payment was a "one-off" charitable donation; Surrey police says the money was spent on laptops used to fight piracy.
However the Financial Review has obtained emails indicating further payments were made to unidentified parties through a special account provided for in NDS budgets for making payments to British police. This paper has identified an internal NDS email sent a year after the Surrey police payment, in which NDS executive Len Withall, a former senior officer with the Surrey police, requests a cash payment of £1000 under the same account.
A month earlier, former Metropolitan police commander Ray Adams, who was the European chief for NDS Operational Security, in an email to an NDS accountant, described the special account in the NDS budget: "This is a contingency sum for police informants. No claims so far. Maybe none this year."
In a letter to Home Secretary Theresa May, Mr Watson said the special account was a "cause for concern". "Such an arrangement, if found to be true, raises many questions about policing priorities, probity, transparency and relationships with big business," his letter said.
"There is a clear public interest in this ... being investigated outside the internal mechanisms of Surrey police."
Meanwhile, The Observer has reported that piracy website thoic.com, which was secretly supported by NDS, offered users detailed information on how to hack rival pay TV companies in a 2001 "e-zine", a downloadable magazine.
The e-zine from the thoic website contained two articles on how to hack the software system used by OnDigital, a rival to News's BSkyB.
The SECA software used by OnDigital was developed by French broadcaster, Canal Plus, a rival of NDS.
The articles describe steps necessary for the hack and explained that a phone call to OnDigital was also required so the company could send a signal to the hacker's set-top box.
"The way to guarantee this is to phone ... and say any of the following, your card is not working, swap a channel, upgrade your package etc," The Observer said, quoting the thoic e-zine.
The BBC's Panorama program aired allegations last week that NDS had sought to derail OnDigital by fostering piracy of its pay TV service.
The pay TV company collapsed in 2001 with losses totalling more than £1 billion.
Its downfall was partly attributed to a massive wave of piracy.
Australia's SBS will air the Panorama episode tomorrow at 9:30pm.
The allegations have come at a difficult time for News, which is already under investigation by Britain's media regulator Ofcom. The regulator is investigating if Mr Murdoch and his son James are "fit and proper" people to have management control of BSkyB.
The Leveson Inquiry, headed by Lord Justice Leveson, is also investigating News's role in Britain's phone-hacking scandal and its relationship with the police force.

Pseudoephedrine bill raises debate
If passed, Senate Bill 50 will require you to have a prescription to buy any medicines containing pseudoephedrine, a popular decongestant and a common ingredient in producing meth. Advocates of the bill believe it will go a long way toward curbing the drug problem. Those in opposition feel that the bill will do more to burden law-abiding citizens than it will to curtail meth production, and they have come up with some alternatives of their own. The senate judiciary committee will hear testimony on the issue again Thursday.

North East Conservatories, Home and Garden Contractors
What Are The Top Styles of North East Conservatories Available?
For slowly growing families, extra space and living area is a demand. House extensions are increasing in popularity nowadays. It originated in the 16th century and slowly became famous all over the world most especially in European countries. A conservatory is a type of room extension which mostly comprise of glass. Some homeowners use their conservatories as an area to accomodate guests, some used as a greenhouse or a sunroom.
Regardless of how you want to use your conservatories, there are countless of designs and styles to choose from, but for the North East area of the country; these top 5 are the frequently utilised style.
1 – Victorian
Also known as the 'Victoriana', is the traditional and most classic design among all. Most homeowners prefers this type of design because it suits all and adapts well with the interiors of any house. This is the most popular conservatory style due to its versatility and delicate details, and is the first style that comes to mind whenever conservatories are discussed.
The Victorian conservatory consists of a bay front, a steeply pitched roof with elaborate designs. There are two options for this type of design: the first one has an angled front with three main glass windows which can also include a french door while the second one is more curved or rounded in appearance and has five windows plus a bay front. The latter option is preferrable if you have enough budget to spare and you want a wider living space.
Usually, oak is used for the foundation of this style due to its life longevity, quality and durability,but can be quite pricey. The Victorian choices are the most sophisticated and elegant among other designs. It is quite hard to install curved walls, and the details are very intricate, this makes Victorian conservatories a bit more expensive.
The major drawback for this style is the furniture restrictions, due to the shape of the walls, you might find it hard where to put your furniture. A regular Victorian conservatory may cost approximately between £5,000 to£8,000. It is not recommended to be a DIY project, so it will be best to hire a professional to do the job.
2 – Edwardian
The Edwardian conservatory is also referred to as Georgian conservatory. It was used during the 18th and early 19th centuries for the elite member of the society and was frequently replicated to Neo-Georgian since then. This design pulls features from the Greek and Roman Architeture. Some prefer this type of style over the Victorian conservatory because it is more cost effective and appears more modern.
This conservatory's structure has a flat front with a 90-degree angle on the corners. Its is symmetrical in shape such as that of a square or a rectangle, it also usually comes with a high sloping roof style made up of glass which provides a bright, airy and spacious illusion. This is style is easier to install because the designs are not as ornate and intricate as compared to the Victorian Conservatory.
The Edwardian structure blends well will different types of homes. This design allows optimal use of space due to its asymmetric structure. Choosing furniture for this is not very particular and hard. Due to its simpler design, this is the more cost effective choice than the Victorian.u
3 – Garden area
Garden area was one of the first reason why conservatories were made. This type of house extension serves as a greenhouse where plants are tended to, and were more popular among industrial and commercial places. But for the modern times, the garden area conservatory can serve as receiving area where someone can entertain guests. This is area is perfect for those who have green thumb but is finding it difficult to cultivate plants with the weather in the UK.
Rattan or synthetic rattan furniture will blend well in this type of conservatory. Also, metal tables and chairs are as well recommended.
4 – Panoramic Extension
Panoramic extensions are quite different from conservatories in the case of purpose, conservatories are used usually as receiving areas for guests or living room extension while panoramic extensions can be done anywhere in your house that needs more space. Example of this would be bedroom extensions or you are in need of a more spacious toilet and bath. This can also be the case for families with young children, you can make a panoramic extension for the sole purpose of a play room. This type of house extension can either have a divider or not, this depends on you.
The structure and foundation of a panoramic extension is much simpler than conservatories, meaning materials to be used will cost lesser and the installation also affordable. Furthermore, this provides wider and larger space as compared to conservatories. There are four styles of panoramic extensions to choose from that will suit your style and preferences, theses are: Elizabethan, Regency, Lean to and Victorian.
5- Orangery
Orangeries during the Renaissance period in Italy was mostly for growing citrus fruits (oranges) and plants similar to garden areas. As time changed, so did the purpose of this structure. Orangeries are atrium-styled conservatory, and like the other conservatories, orangeries can be either traditional or contemporary depending on the style of your home and your preference as well.
The difference of an orangery to a conservatory is the structure; orangeries often have higher ceilings and larger spaces. Orangeries also use lesser glass panels than conservatories, bricks are used for a more enclosed, more secured and private structure. The only similar thing between the two is that both have door panels between the main house and the extension, these door panels can be locked.
It doesn't matter what type of extension you want for your home, the different styles will easily blend in with your home. There are DIY instructions available but it is best to still consult a company with a good reputation in building such structures. Surely, you would want these extensions to last for quite a long time.

See How an Indoor Blow Up Hot Tub Can Go in a Conservatory or Even on a Holiday!
If you're an outdoor lover, camping would be on top of your bucket list and is a favourite, but camping with a portable hot tub at hand will surely make your holiday one of a kind. There are many reasons why one would want to use a portable hot tub, but perhaps the more pertinent question for many outdoor lovers is, would a portable hot tub be good to take on a camping holiday? To answer this effectively, it is important that we look at the advantages that the hot tub has over conventional ceramic or wooden hot tubs.
• The price of the blow up hot tub is more affordable when compared to that of the regular hot tub. It is usually made up of heavy vinyl material which obviously is a whole lot cheaper than the traditional ceramic and wood. When looking at this in the context of camping, it is easy to see why this would be a good take when going on camping holiday. Add to this the fact that you need not have a professional do the installation for you and you are set for your one of a kind holiday.
• The ease of installation means that you can carry the tub with you on the move wherever and whenever. Many hot tubs will be made available with a self-inflating pump. The user will only need to have a sufficient source of water and a strong stable flat surface that will hold the tub when it is filled with water. This offers excellent options for campers who are looking to have fun in the outdoors.
• Unlike regular tubs which collect a lot of dirt and needs frequent cleaning, portable hot tubs are easy to clean for the simple reason that they are used only when needed. Additionally, the difference between the materials used in portable hot tubs and the traditional ones determines the maintenance of each, of course vinyl would be easier to maintain than ceramic and wood. When not in use, the hot tub is folded and stored and can easily fit duffel bags which also protects the hot tub from dirt and other elements that can damage it. Such features make the hot tub an ideal accompaniment when you go camping.
• Camping offers individuals an opportunity to relax somewhere peaceful, away from the hustle and bustle of their daily lives. What better way to do this than to get a portable hot tub, install it, make sure its on a safe surface and relax. Allow your thought to drift away in the crisp air that nature offers while you submerge yourself in a hot tub. Camping with a hot tub at hand will surely amp up your holiday trip.
• There are quite a variety of portable hot tubs to choose from, perhaps much more than you would get for regular hot tubs. This allows campers to choose something that aptly suits their personality and of course, their budget.
• Portable hot tubs offer campers the opportunity to bond over their trip. Imagine after a long walking trip to your destination, a warm dip would be a wonderful way to your tire away. Simply fill the tub with water and get your families and friends to bond, preferably over a glass of chilled wine as you talk the night (or day) away.
If the reasons mentioned above not make you run to that store and purchase a hot tub, then you're missing quite a lot. Those benefits should be compelling enough for you to see why carrying portable hot tub would be a great choice when going camping. Just make sure that you choose the ideal size, type and design of hot tub that will meet your needs. It is a long-term investment for you, your family and your friends, or, if you know someone who is a happy camper and you are looking for ways to show your love, you could never go wrong with a portable hot tub. Go ahead and get one for a truly thrilling and new camping experience.

7 top tips for a matching impressive bathroom space
As a general rule, all bathrooms require that there is adequate lighting, proper ventilation, sufficient storage, shower screens as well as practical fixtures that enhance the functionality of the bathroom. Such fixtures are available in diverse styles so that it is possible for a homeowner to create an inviting space without spending an arm and a leg. Below are 7 top tips for a matching impressive bathroom space.
Bathroom Remodelling Ideas
1) Ensure that all of the three integral sections of the bathroom, which is the toilet area, the showering area and the grooming area are planned with your preferences in mind. In doing this, bear in mind the importance of having ample space. This does not mean that those with minimal space cannot create an impressive bathroom space. In fact, it is quite possible to create small space that is just as inviting.
2) Take into consideration the functionality of the bathroom. The reason for this is that master baths, guest room baths and spas tend to be more exquisite than, say, children's baths. With the latter, there is the need to factor in safety measure to prevent accidents and injuries. In this regard, think about grab bars, rounded corners on various counters as well as facilities that cater for the physically-challenged within the home. If you are looking at a family bath, see to it that you take care of human traffic patterns. One way to do this is to install a bath tub as well as a shower head.
3) It is almost impossible to talk of 7 top tips for a matching impressive bathroom space without making mention of mirrors. Mirrors are not only used as vanity pieces, but they are also a great way to add an artsy touch to your bathroom. When placed strategically, these mirrors create the illusion of ample space, as well as adding an interesting aspect to the lighting of the room.
4) Add an element of art to the bathroom to create an impressive space. Some people are of the opinion that this is just another room and so there is really no need of incorporating art. This, however, is a matter of personal preference. If you can think outside the box, there are subtle ways to incorporate art. For instance, one could use paintings of different landscapes, mouldings and small items such as sea shells.
5) What is the texture of your bathroom? For elegant space, how about using bath mats to add softness to the texture of the room? Window treatments also help 'soften' the bathroom as do unique curtain showers. It is still debatable the importance of using a toilet seat cover, but modern trends are slowly making a deviation from this practice,
6) Avoid cluttered space by taking up various storage options that are available today. Decorated shelves, stylish woven baskets are a perfect example of how to put away your items in an organised manner. Put up shelves that match with the wallpaper for a classy touch.
7) Coming in last in the 7 top tips for a matching impressive bathroom space is the use of calming themes in the bathroom. There are many ways to achieve this especially if you can play around with colour and different styles. One of the most common ways to do this is to ensure that the wall tiles match with those found on the floor. Try out different furnishings as well to create subtle concepts in this essential room.

Customer Reviews
If only I could add tv shows that have ended
It's a great app. Love the fact that it supports iCloud sync. The only thing keeping me from giving it a 5 star rating is the fact that it does not allow you to add TV shows that have already ended. I realize this app's name is TV FORECAST, but it would be awesome to be able to add shows that have ended so I could make myself a database of all the shows I watched, which would come in very handy if I want to watch them again at some later time.
Good execution, great UI, a little unreliable
A few times the app has failed to notify me of an upcoming show, sometimes it takes forever to update when launched, and once in a while it lags behind on schedule updates (I knew when "Doctor Who" was resuming several weeks before the app did). But I still prefer this app over anything similar I've tried (and there were quite a few I tried).
Love the app! Just not always up-to-date :-(
I noticed that it misses some shows in particular. For the most part, it's all Cartoon Network shows like Regular Show, Adventure Time, The Looney Tunes Show...The Amazing World of Gumball is the worst one at the moment. There's already been a new episodes on, and it hasn't been updated yet. I truly love the app and everything it does. I just wish the episode info was more on-par with TVGuide or MyTVDB.

More than 150 Westminster College students completed summer internships in a variety of settings.
Experiences included: working with elementary and high schools; shadowing staff in operating and post-operative care; authoring an interpretive guide for mass spectrometry; attending court proceedings and doing ride-alongs with police; producing and editing promotional videos; working in congressional offices in Washington, D.C.; and assisting the historian and archivist at the Chautauqua Institute.
Jessie Klousnitzer, a senior political science major from Pittsburgh, interned in the Washington office of Congressman Tim Murphy (R), PA.
"After learning about American government for three years, I wanted to experience it firsthand," Klousnitzer said. "I was surprised how much work goes on behind the scenes before a bill can even be considered. It was good to learn what happens behind closed doors."
During her nine-week experience Klousnitzer found there was no "typical day." "There were things I did more often, like give tours of the Capitol to constituents and research legislation, but every day was different because there were new issues coming up, different bills being voted on, and new meetings to take."
Sarah Rigby, a senior sociology major from Parma Heights, Ohio, interned with the North Royalton police department and spent most of her time with the Berea court system, working closely with a probation officer.
"I was surprised when the probation officer told me how many people she worked with showed improvement," Rigby said. "I learned a lot about the court system by being part of it. The experience reinforced my decision about wanting to work with something like this."
Contact Katy DeMedal, director of Westminster's Career Center, at 724-946-6338 or email for more information on internships.

I can admit our admistration has done a terrible job making everyone mad at us, and it makes me want to apologize to the World that it is not us "the people that are doing it"
I do believe that Obama is being used to create a conquer and divide which is terrorism on there own country,

What Do Your Emails Say About You?
In my last DMA blog I made the mistake of highlighting the "branding" gap in Apple's emails. And I was duly punished by the "Apple gods", who caused me to drop my new iPhone 5 in the loo. Actually, a recent YouGov survey showed that 21% of people check their emails in the toilet, and I can tell you that there are literally hundreds of web posts advising on how to repair iPhone water damage. So, though it probably wasn't a personal punishment, I'm certainly going to be more careful about what I say in future.
But I would still like to explore further one of the areas that this blog touched upon, and that's the importance of keeping consistent and relevant branding in all email communications. There's a profusion of advice on how to optimise your email marketing, a deluge of articles about how mobile is impacting email, and a large wash of commentary about new functionality – testing, responsive design, HTML 5 etc. And this is all good stuff. But there's not much marketing advice on how to get your employee email up to scratch, for those one-to-one customer communications, and consequently there are still many email basics that businesses are not getting right...

text: Five facts to calm plane crash fearsBy Katia Hetter, CNNUpdated 4:58 PM ET, Thu May 2, 2013Just WatchedCould cargo have caused 747 crash?replayMore Videos ...Could cargo have caused 747 crash? 03:00Story highlightsFlying fears may be intensified by video that appears to capture a cargo plane crashRemember that conditions for cargo flight in Afghanistan aren't routine for passenger flightsDramatic visuals may evoke instinctive responses that amplify a small threatJohnny "Jet" DiScala won't look at video that appears to capture this week's cargo airplane crash in Afghanistan.DiScala used to be afraid to fly. He got over it by looking at flight safety data, learning that flying is way safer than driving and talking to lots of pilots and flight attendants. Now DiScala flies more than 175,000 miles per year and documents his journeys on his travel website. "Since I used to be afraid to fly I don't want to risk triggering any of my old emotions," he said in an e-mail. "I just don't need those kind of images in my head."The fiery images are alarming. U.S.-based cargo carrier National Airlines confirmed that Flight NCR102 had just taken off from Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan en route to Dubai when the crash occurred, killing all seven crew members aboard. An approximately three-minute video, which has not been authenticated by CNN, shows what appears to be the Boeing 747-400 jet climbing shortly after takeoff, stalling, rolling from side to side and crashing into the ground.While the video might trigger a fear of flying in usually calm travelers or terrify already fearful passengers, most travelers aren't flying under the kind of conditions faced at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan.

"Commercial airplanes climb at about half the angle the military climbs at," Goglia says. "Military aircraft take off at a such a steep angle to get high enough to get away from local arms fire. They need to get over 3,000 feet as quickly as they can."A commercial airline's cargo hold is small (and full)A military aircraft carrying heavy equipment might not fill an entire cargo airplane, requiring that the cargo be secured to prevent a potentially deadly sudden shift in weight, Goglia says. In contrast, aircraft configured for passengers have much smaller cargo compartments, which are filled with baggage and any cargo that the airline can pack into the belly of their planes. "Full compartments leave no room for cargo to shift," he says. One crash is not a trendSimply watching a video of a crash isn't a problem, says Julie Pike, a psychologist with the Anxiety Disorders Treatment Center of North Carolina in Durham, North Carolina. It's the interpretations people make after watching a plane crash or other disturbing news events over and over again. "I will get people up until 4 a.m. watching the Boston bombing story," she says. "They think, 'This happens all the time, which means it could easily happen to me.' " Monday's plane crash in Afghanistan "is compelling and very sad," she says. "However, it's very infrequent. Airline travel is the safest form of travel. As Americans, we are very good at overdoing it."An 'Artist's Way' to calm flying fearsVisuals can pack an intensified punch Watching such a video can activate a different area of your brain than reading a story, Pike says. The visual stimulation can activate people's fight or flight response, making them think they are in imminent danger. "Your brain is telling you that a predator is after you," Pike says. "Reading about it doesn't tend to cause the same reaction."A small percentage of people worldwide suffer from fearful flying to the extent that it impairs them in some way, she says, and some people can become traumatized by watching and fixating on disturbing videos. People overestimate the threat and underestimate their ability to react, she says. CNN.com commenter Peter Gugerell says he usually doesn't suffer from fear of flying. Yet one airplane crash stands out for him. Ever since he watched all the 1996 news coverage about TWA Flight 800, which blew up a few minutes after takeoff, Gugerell wrote via e-mail that he's "acutely aware" of the early part of his flights. "Now, having watched the Bagram crash, I expect my existing takeoff anxiety to increase slightly." We can come to terms with our fearsTry not to avoid or try to stop your fears, suggests University of Washington psychologist Jonathan Bricker. "They are hard to stop and they find sneaky ways of reminding you they are there," he wrote via e-mail. "Instead, try to make peace with them." His suggestions: "Notice your network of fears. Say the word 'flying' or '747' and notice what else comes to mind in your network of fears. Find the scary words. Let's say the word is 'crash.' Rate your level of anxiety when you say the word aloud. Repeat the word out loud for 90 seconds and notice what happens to the scariness of the word. Re-rate anxiety. Try this exercise three times."And remind yourself of why you're traveling, Bricker suggests. Whether it's a business trip or a much-anticipated getaway or a trip to see a loved one, the reasons can help you see past your fears.Are you afraid to fly?

Alas for the upper classes and alas for Bacchus! The best California wine, as late as 1910, sold for $6 a case, but in those easy and pleasant days you could buy a case of bonded whisky for the same $6. Now it is a disillusioning and unpleasant truth that the popularity of various alcoholic beverages, the world over and throughout history, has always been in direct ratio to their alcoholic content and their price. The fiction that deep-seated racial preferences exist, that Frenchmen like wine, Germans like beer, Cubans like rum, and Americans like whisky, is nothing but fiction and has been disproved a hundred times over. Move a family from Munich to Rüdesheim or from London to Bordeaux or from Chicago to Paris, and you will have a family of wine-drinkers within twenty years. Ninety per cent of your rum-drinking Cubans come of wine-drinking Spanish stock. The Normans are French, but they drink cider like their neighbors in Devonshire across the Channel, and like the Spaniards in Asturias, for the excellent and sufficient reason that cider is cheap and wine comparatively expensive in the districts where they live.
To bring the comparison a little closer home, how can we explain, except on the basis of availability and price, the fact that the average citizen of California drinks four times as much wine as the average citizen of West Virginia or Michigan or Vermont or Texas? There is no longer, either in California or elsewhere in America, any large body of foreign-born who still cling stubbornly to the eating and drinking habits which they formed before they came to this country. The overwhelming bulk of the wine which the American public will buy and drink during the next ten years will be bought, not on account of old taste habits, but because it seems, to the present generation, to go well with American food, and because it is fairly cheap. A gallon of wine for $2.50, or a bottle for 60 or 70 cents, is a better buy than $3 gin or $4 whisky by any criterion, even by the tough, unpleasant, but final criterion of alcoholic content.
The important part which price plays in this matter was long ago recognized in California. Competing with spirits at 50 cents a bottle, the table wines of preprohibition days had to be cheap as well as good if they were to be sold at all, and a possible saving of three or four cents a gallon in transportation costs was a matter of major interest to the entire industry. As recently as 1910, most of the wine shipped east from California came by steamer or sailing vessel around the Horn, at some three cents a gallon plus the cost of the oak or redwood barrels in which it was customarily shipped and sold. Rail rates were considered almost prohibitive, and it was not until the first refrigerated tank car appeared in 1910 (a tank car designed for milk being used as a model) that the railroads began to play a really major role as carriers of cheap wine. At seven cents a gallon, coast to coast, these tank cars were rated at first as something pretty luxurious and expensive, and a good many of the old-school vintners continued to claim as well that a wine which had twice "crossed the line" in wood had received a sort of "aging" which time itself could not duplicate. It was more or less in support of this theory that a lady journalist, Mrs. Frona Eunice Wait, once wrote that even the Spaniards, in order to age their sherries, shipped them to "the Equator, in the Mediterranean Sea."
The opening of the Panama Canal in 1914 made wholly academic any further discussions of this sort; it also brought to light a good many novel possibilities in the field of shipping wine. By the end of 1915 plans had been completed for a double-hulled tanker which would carry wine from dockside San Francisco to dockside Brooklyn for one cent a gallon, and which would carry steel rails to California on its return voyage. Before the keel could be laid, there came the steel shortage and the war and prohibition and, so far as the California wine industry was concerned, the deluge. It is interesting, however, to note that some twenty years later the French constructed a very similar steamer, which they quite properly named the "Bacchus," and which carried on every trip across the Mediterranean, in its capacious belly, enough Algerian wine for an army on the march.
The unhappy story of the prohibition years has no rightful place in an article such as this. Briefly, those who were unwilling to do without their claret or their vino rosso began to buy what were euphemistically called "juice grapes" in the large Eastern cities, in order to make wine at home. Now the finer wine grapes are thin-skinned and fragile—they will not stand transcontinental shipment. The demand, therefore, was for the tough, thick-skinned, and common varieties which would travel; fine vine-yard after fine vineyard was grafted over to such vines or replanted, and the superior varieties, little by little, tended to disappear. Today, fifteen years after repeal, most of this debris is still there, and even today there are fewer acres planted to superior vines in the better California districts than there were when the Eighteenth Amendment became the law of the land.
Nearly a decade and a half after its great and apparently final defeat, the California wine industry was rather abruptly called on to reform its ranks and begin where it left off. Obviously, this was altogether impossible. Most of its conscientious and honorable leaders had retired or died, many of the producers were bankrupt, the majority of its wineries were in ruins, the beautiful oak cooperage in most cellars had dried out or gone moldy through sheer neglect, the better vineyards had been regrafted or abandoned—there was less left than most Californians care, even today, to admit.

Celcom iPhone 4S plans explained
By Tan Ming Sin
14 December 2011 – Celcom has just announced their plans and packages coming along with their recommended retail price (RRP) for the iPhone 4S in Malaysia. It seems that Celcom agree with Maxis on the RRP; which is different from DiGi for their iPhone 4S 16GB. Celcom's iPhone 4S 16GB will also be RM100 lower than DiGi's iPhone 4S 16GB RRP. Also be reminded that Celcom launch event will be held at La Bodega, Bangsar Shopping Centre tomorrow starting at 12am.
The recommended retail price for iPhone 4S by Celcom:
o iPhone 4S 16GB Black/White - RM2190
o iPhone 4S 32GB Black/White - RM2590
o iPhone 4S 64GB Black/White - RM2890
Celcom will be using their iPlans as well with a new plan coming in this time, the i68. So there will be i68, i98, i148 and i248. All plans are available on both a 12-month and 24-month basis.
Similar to Maxis, there will be a promotional price for the device under their iPlans. The lowest you can get is RM 558 for iPhone 4S 16GB from i248 with RM 248 monthly commitment, 24-months contract. Celcom is offering up to 6000 minutes of free calls within Celcom network for i98, i148 and i248 and 3000 minutes for i68.
There will also be a chunky upfront payment up to RM1200 for i248. The upfront payment varies depending on the plans not the device chosen. However this payment will be equally rebated over 12-months.
The total upfront payment will be the summation of the device price and the upfront payment. For example, iPhone 4S 16GB on i248, 24-months contract – RM558(device price) + RM1200(upfront payment) = RM1758.

" Celcom baru sahaja mengumumkan pelan dan pakej mereka berserta cadangan harga penjualan untuk iPhone 4S di Malaysia. Kelihatan juga Celcom seperti setuju dengan harga penjualan yang ditetapkan oleh Maxis yang mana harga tersebut adalah kurang RM100 daripada harga yang ditetapkan oleh DiGi bagi model 16GB. Celcom akan mendakan majlis pelancaran di La Bodega, Bangsar bermula dari jam 12 tengah malam "

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has revised its regulations governing the insurance coverage of joint ownership accounts and revocable trust (payable-on-death) accounts. The purpose of the revisions, which were proposed in July 1998, is to increase the public's understanding of the insurance rules through simplification.
The final rule simplifies the process for determining the insurance coverage of joint accounts; changes the insurance coverage of payable-on-death accounts by adding parents and siblings to the list of qualifying beneficiaries; and makes technical amendments to the rules on the coverage of accounts held by agents or fiduciaries. The revisions were effective April 1, 1999.

Festival of India - ISKCON, Rathyatra 2009, Washington DC
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare ISKCON(The International Society for Krishna Consciousness) was established in 1966 by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (Srila Prabhupada) Krishna is a deity worshiped across many traditions in Hinduism in a variety of perspectives. Krishna is often depicted as an infant, as a young boy playing a flute as in the Bhagavata Purana, or as a youthful prince giving direction and guidance as in the Bhagavad Gita. The Bhagavad Gita (\\\"Song of God\\\") is an important Sanskrit Hindu scripture. The Bhagavad Gita is a part of the Mahabharata and the teacher of the Gita is Lord Krishna. Responding to Arjunas confusion and moral dilemma, Krishna explains to Arjuna his duties as a warrior and prince and elaborates on different Yogic and Vedantic philosophies, with examples and analogies. Since the Bhagavad Gita represents a summary of the Upanishadic teachings, it is also called as the Upanishad of the Upanishads. Although Lord Krishna became a great king in His time, His childhood He spent in the village of Vrindavan. There He sported with the cowherd boys and girls, and of all of them, Radharani was His most beloved. When Lord Krishna left Vrindavan to become king of Dvarka, however, Shrimati Radharanis lamentation was unequalled in the universe. She never gave up hope that He would someday return to Her. In this way She enjoys a special transcendental long known as vipralambha-bhava, or \\\"the mood of love-in-separation\\\". Once when Lord Krishna was king, He met Radharani and Her friends in a secluded place at Kurukshetra. But when Radharani saw Krishna in His princely grad, with full opulence and regalia, She longed to see Him as the simple cowherd boy She once knew. She longed to bring Him back to Vrindavan. The mood of wanting to bring Lord Krishna back to the intimacy of Vrindavan is the confidential theme of the Ratha-yatra festival. When devotees pull the long, sturdy ropes of the Ratha-yatra cart they are pulling Krishna back into their hearts - back to the land of Vrindavan. Radha and Krishna incarnated as Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and in this way, They were reunited - in His body. Yet during His last years, which He spent in Jagannath Puri, Lord Chaitanya fully manifested the mood of Radharani and relentlessly lamented the divine tragedy of Radha and Krishnas separation. Every year in Puri, Lord Caitanya celebrated the Ratha-yatra festival in Radharanis mood of pulling Krishna back to the simple, villagelike atmosphere of Vrindavan. Mahaprabhu taught that this feeling of separation actually evokes the presence of Krishna and, ultimately, gives way to the highest happiness. This is the internal meaning of Ratha-yatra. All are welcome, regardless of religious/spiritual affiliation, ethnic origin, race, nationality, language or any other temporary bodily designation in this lifetime. Dont let the crowds deter you from coming, it is still nothing compared to the Jagannatha Puri Rathyatra festival in India. Bring the whole family, there will be a lot of other events going on at the national mall area, and the fireworks are also very nice. Program includes Rathyatra parade, Free Vegetarian Feast, Indian restaurant, Live Music, Yoga, Dance, Drama, Exibits, completely ecstatic kirtans (spiritual music), Q and A tent and much more. When: July 4th, 10:30 am - 9 PM. Where: 4th Street between Madison and Jefferson St, Washington DC in National Mall near Smithsonian Indian American Museum. If you arrive earlier in the day, there are free parking spots on the north side of the national mall area around the Department of Labor, and behind the Canadian Embassy, and you will have to walk a few blocks to enter the festival site through security check points. You can also take Amtrak, MARC, VRE or Metro trains or Metro, Greyhound buses to arrive very close to the Festival of India site. Rathyatra is part of the Independence Day Parade. Rathyatra participants need to be at 7th St. and Madison Drive near the Rath (the tall red chariot) by 10:30 am. Be prepared to walk/dance for about 2 hours. Please come to Festival of India site if you can not walk in the Rathyatra. Children under the age of 13 years are not allowed in the procession. Once you are in the procession you must stay with the procession until the end. If you arrive late, please do not try to enter the moving procession. In case it is hot and sunny, bring a hat, sunscreen, water bottle, etc. The seating area at the festival will be covered by tents. Please bring strollers if you have little kids. In case of rain, the Rathayatra and Festival of India will still go on. Please bring fresh and dry fruits and nuts (uncooked) for offerings to be made to the Deities throughout the afternoon. Bring your own instruments such as flutes, mrdangas, karatals, gongs, etc. The DC Rathyatra is a little more formal compared to others. Only for the Rathyatra parade, participants, men have to be in kurta, dhoti/pajama, and women have to be in sari/gopi dress/salwar kurta, preferably in red, blue and white. Smiling and waving during the parade is highly encouraged. The parade is seen by thousands and is televised nationally. A lot of volunteer help is needed for a large festival of this magnitude where tens of thousands of people are served free prasadam and get exposed to vedic culture, spiritual life, vegetarianism.

Avril Lavigne's life as a star and celeb have been sort of well plotted out from the start. This Belleville Ontario born (and Napanee raised) singer got her really big break appearing on stage with Canadian sweet heart Shania Twain at the the age of 15. By 16 she had a record deal, and by 17 she charted hard with her album Let's Go. From there it's been a wild ride, with a marriage at a young age to fellow Canadian Rocker Deryck Whibley from Sum 41, who certainly touched her musical style. But that didn't last, and the latest move for this cute girl has been to get engaged to Nickelback front man Chad Kroeger. Apparently she likes Canadian rockers or something. She's been doing the putaface routine with her $350,000 engagement ring, proof that something it pays to be a putaface!
Category Archives: musicians
Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj is one of those music stars who has sort of gone all out and all over to try to raise people's awareness of her. She changes looks about as often as most people change socks, and she has a very strong sexual element to her look and attitude. Born Onika Tanya Maraj in Trinidad and Tobago in 1984, she is a truly unique girl to look at, and she uses those unique looks to stand out. She's got a very strong rap style, very fast patter and she isn't shy to broad naughty subjects. Her debut album Pink Friday took off and from there, it's been a wild putaface ride of changing styles, flashing cleavage, and general attention getting. Nicki Minaj knows how to work it! Get Pink Friday [Deluxe Edition] here!
Oksana Grigorieva
without a doubt, Oksana Grigorieva is not your typical putaface celeb. This Russian born singer, songwriter, and music teacher hasn't specifically had a very public career of her own, but rather she has been involved in a series of relationships with various well known people, which has put her in the limelight. Since 1989, she has been married to an unknown Russian guy, British artist Nicholas Rowland, actor Timothy Dalton, and then actor Mel Gibson.
It is her relationship with Gibson that has cause the most ruckus. First off, it would appear that she did a bit of a home wrecker job, blowing up Gibson's long term marriage to Robyn Moore (29 years), and getting pregnant by him with their daughter Lucia. However, not all is well, and they have split up very publically, including wild accusations of abuse by Gibson, recording of his seemingly racist rantings, etc. Some people believe that Oksana may be gold digging, looking for that perfect settlement that will allow her to live her life in luxury. Others think that the accusations against Gibson are true. No matter what, Oksana Grigorieva has become a celeb putaface, always in the media!
Alyson Michalka, aka Aly
Alyson Michalka isn't your typical putaface celeb, but she is one of the Mouse House's products. Best know for her roles in Disney series like Phil of the Future, she also made a pretty big impression in the movie Band Slam, where she played Charlotte Banks. She and her sister are a true musical act, originally called Aly and & AJ and now know as 78violet. She was recently the victim of a stalker who wanted to marry her, and seemed to know way too much about her, such as where her late pets were buried. How odd! She recently stepped up her visiblity with a role in the movie Easy A, and will come back in 2011 with roles in The Roommate and possibly other projects. This has of course lead to more media exposure, and more putaface time for her!
Katy Perry
Katy Perry is a singer who made quite the splash and impression on the world with her debut single I Kissed a Girl (and I liked it). It sort of set the tone for this buxom lass from the UK, who has used her good looks and rather large natural breasts to get as much attention as possible, in true putaface fashion. Her combination of saucy lyrics and pop infused dance music has giving her a big jump, and she has become a true A list celeb in the last couple of years. Her very public marriage with comedic bad boy Russel Brand has only added to the deal, as celeb sites all over have been following these two up close and personal. Even their super friendly divorce got both of them more coverage, the true test of being a putaface!
Tila Tequila
I don't think any collection of putafaces or fame whores would be complete without the exotic, the wild, the outrageous Tila Tequila, or as she wants to be called this week, Miss Tila. Born Tila Nguyen in Singapore, she has moved on to a career in self promotion, sort of a cheaper version of Paris Hilton. She has a very curvy (but not entirely natural) body and she has used her exotic looks and curves to get into many men's non-nude mags, like Maxim. She had a show on MTV for a couple of seasons, A Shot of Love with Tila Tequila, and has continued to parlay that exposure into bigger and better things. She has been famously linked to the late Johnson and Johnson heir Casey Johnson. She was apparently engaged to be married to the billionaire heir as her lesbian wife, and pregnant with their child. Casey Johnson passed away from issues with drugs and diabetes, and the pregnancy just sort of stopped being an issue in Tila's life. Now she has released a foul titled song called "I f—ked the DJ" and is trying on the Miss Tila moniker. A really talented Putaface who seduces the camera and the media any way she can!

GONZALES, La (NBC33) – For these two Tiger fans, the seven hour drive to Dallas is just one more trip in the name of purple and gold pride.
Norman Hebert and Drew Smith are die-hard fans. They've been following the Tigers all over the country for more than 30 years.
"I just can't seem to shake it," Norman Hebert, Tiger fanatic, said with excitement. "It's an addiction. I love it!"
The two met at work. Once they realized they shared the same passion, they began hitting the road together, game after game, year after year.
"Home, away, bowls, I saw every play of the 80s," Drew Smith, fan who has been to roughly 154 consecutive games, described.
Although they've crossed the nation together, neither has been to the Cotton Bowl, making this game a landmark first.
"Never been to Dallas, so that's just another city I can cross off my list," Smith explained.
No matter what the outcome of the game, these fans never leave home with out their team spirit and Tiger pride.
