Pennsylvania American Water Rolls Out New Fleet Powered By Compressed Natural Gas
Pennsylvania American Water officials joined with Pennsylvania Speaker of the House Sam Smith and Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection officials today to mark the company's launch of a compressed natural gas (CNG) pilot for its vehicle fleet. The company displayed four new CNG-powered Ford F-250 trucks at its kickoff event, which will be piloted in Punxsutawney and Coatesville.
"CNG provides Pennsylvania American Water with an exciting alternative fuel option that will help us better control our operational expenses, reduce our carbon footprint, and capitalize on the abundant supply of natural gas right here in the Commonwealth," said President Kathy L. Pape of Pennsylvania American Water.
In contrast to gasoline prices that currently range around $3.50 per gallon, Pennsylvania American Water officials noted that fueling with CNG costs approximately $2.00 per gallon.
Pennsylvania American Water Vice President of Operations Steve Tambini said the company is also sold on CNG's environmental benefits. "The new CNG vehicles operate on the same basic principle as traditionally fueled trucks, but they generate significantly less particulate matter," said Tambini. "This means cleaner air and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, which will benefit the environment and the communities we serve."
"It is very encouraging to see companies like Pennsylvania American Water begin to convert their fleets to compressed natural gas (CNG)," said Pennsylvania Speaker of the House Sam Smith. "This is exactly the trend we hope to see continuing across the state. More CNG vehicles on the road leads to a greater need for fueling stations, and that ultimately results in less dependence on foreign oil and more jobs in the energy sector here in Pennsylvania. I congratulate Pennsylvania American Water for being a leader in this area." Pennsylvania American Water also announced that it is applying for a grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to add more CNG-powered vehicles to its fleet. Tambini also said Pennsylvania American Water will construct a company-owned fueling station in Scranton that will support up to 36 CNG vehicles in 2014.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Phil Liggett
Philip 'Phil' Alexander Liggett, (born 11 August 1943) is an English commentator and journalist who covers professional cycling.
On Lance Armstrong "He told me in a private situation, when I wasn't working as a journalist. I was sat in the bedroom some years ago, and I asked him point blank, 'look Lance, the way I talked you up on television, I would have to back off and resign if you one day went positive'. And he looked at me and he said 'man I've seen death in the face and I don't take drugs.' And that's all he said. I have no reason to disbelieve him."[1]
On Floyd Landis's positive
'm still very skeptical about the whole thing. The Laboratory (Châtenay-Malabry) is unscrupulous to say the least, because they shouldn't know the sample they're testing." "The fact that the lab knew whose sample it was testing is just one of the "anomolies" "It's time for the second test, the so-called "B" sample, be done in a second country by a second lab. "I'm not saying the lab is a crooked lab, they have proved to us that they're not a particularly scrupulous lab." "I got a feeling he's not telling lies." [2]
Accusations that USADA fabricated evidence. "Again I come back, why is USADA which is really a nefarious locals drugs agency in the United States so intent?
Now I can tell you one thing. And I could prove it in SA but I, I went to, I met a chap who worked with Armstrong, err, on Saturday in Boulder Colorado. And he told me that he had a visit, two years ago, err to tell, and the question was, they were agents from a particular agency and, er, they said "will you tell us that Lance Armstrong took EPO? And we could assure that you will never want for money again". That was his quote on Thursday and he told them in words I can't put on radio what to do with that and they said "I think we're talking to the wrong man" and they walked away."[3]

First Milestone for Egroupware 2.0
En route to version 2.0 of its Web-based groupware product, Egroupware has reached the first milestone of three, which was scheduled for late in 2008.
To take this step, the developers have implemented the address book module and an SQL database-based authentication. According to the developers Egroupware 2.0 is far more independent of the underlying database than the 1.x branch, which relied on a MySQL database server to all practical extents. To this end the developers use the PDO database adapter and the Zend_DB database abstraction layer in the new implementation.
Although the current 1.x version of the PHP application will still be maintained, the software project is attempting to completely rewrite the software project for Egroupware 2.0. It remains to be seen whether version 2.0 will be the direct successor of Egroupware 1.x, or whether the two branches will continue to coexist; the project has not reached a decision as yeet. Egroupware started life as a PHPgroupware fork.
The roadmap for the 2.0 final release includes a Javascript-based user interface, authentication against LDAP, a Web Services interface and drag & drop. Future plans also include integrating the CalDAV calendar interface.
The online demo gives users a first impression of the Egroupware 2.0 branch.
A demo site gives users an impression of the current state of development of the 2.0 branch, although the developers emphasize that the software is still alpha.

The first public signs of doubt pertaining to the Fayetteville Manlius joint fire district surfaced at the Dec. 9 Manlius Village Board meeting. The public raised concerns over how fast the process is moving as well as the legal aspects of the proposed leadership structure.
The board was asked how an economic study can be done, and if it's even logical to determine the benefits, specifically when, so far, there are no numbers indicating the cost of purchasing or leasing the fire stations that would be involved in the fire district.
Residents also challenged the speed of which this proposal is moving. Since it is not currently legal to have two co-fire chiefs equally in charge, as is proposed in the Memo of Understanding, residents asked the board how much further this proposal can go before being tossed out altogether.
Additionally, residents pointed out that the consultant who may be hired to complete the study is not local, but rather from Quebec, Canada. Fayetteville Mayor Mark Olsen was on the agenda to present fire protection engineer J. Gordon Routley's proposal, but did not make the meeting. Routley had been fire chief in Shreveport, La. and is a member of the board of directors of the Safety, Health and Survival section of the International Association of Fire Chiefs (NYSAFC).
Trustee Scott McGrew agreed the process has been moving too fast and re-emphasized that at any point, if any of the four municipalities, which include the towns of Manlius and Pompey and the villages of Fayetteville and Manlius, pull out of the talks, the project would immediately dissolve.
Both Mayor Rick Penhall and Trustee Eric Krouse were absent from the meeting.

Rutgers basketball coach Mike Rice and the evolution of 'tough love' (+video)
The reaction to video footage of the tirades by Rutgers basketball coach Mike Rice suggests that the public is no longer willing to give coaches broad leeway when they turn to abusive tactics.
Calls continued to mount Thursday for the athletic director and even the president of Rutgers University in New Jersey to be fired for not taking tough measures sooner against men's basketball coach Mike Rice, who was fired Wednesday for his violent treatment of players after ESPN brought video footage to light.
Many see the initial discipline Mr. Rice received as a slap on the wrist and suggest it points to a double standard in the treatment of big-time coaches compared with other educators. But the incident is also prompting dialogue about broader societal issues – including the tolerance of antigay and gender-based slurs in sports, and whether the desire to build "toughness" in athletes too often turns into a destructive stream of negative feedback.
The reaction to the video at Rutgers and nationwide, some say, shows signs of shifting social views on what is good, hard-nosed coaching designed to push players to improve and behavior that is simply petulant bullying.

Misty May-Treanor is gearing up for her third gold medal this summer at the London Olympics, but the beach volleyball star has her sights set on another trophy — and a much sparklier one at that.
GALLERY: See who lost weight on Dancing With the Stars
The 34-year old took to her Facebook page Monday to ask fans for support in securing her a spot on the upcoming Dancing With the Stars all-stars season. May-Treanor and partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy withdrew from the show in 2008 after she tore her Achilles tendon in rehearsals and she believes she deserves a second shot. "I would love to finish what I wasn't able to when I was on the show the last time," she wrote, adding that she was never voted off the first time and that she wants to perform for her husband and her fans.With 900 likes on that post alone, perhaps her campaign might stand a chance. "Would love to see you back on Dancing With The Stars again," fan Richard Griego commented. "Good luck in all you do. Go Misty!!!"Do you think Misty deserves another shot at the Mirrorball trophy? Sound off in the comments!

An interactive web application for designing one-of-a-kind shelves based on the Voronoi algorithm. Read more
An interactive web application for designing one-of-a-kind shelves based on the Voronoi algorithm.
About this project
Imagine designing & customizing your own Voronoi bookshelf on your iPad, then seeing it show up on your doorstep just a few days later, fully assembled or as a kit.
Now, imagine you could do this not just with these Voronoi bookshelves, but with a number of original designs for other products like lamps, tables, desks and chairs.
And I don't just mean telling Ikea how many feet your want your kitchen counter to be, or specifying the color of your new hoodie.
I mean actively participating in the design, and generating truly personalized creations. You can't mess this up.
My goal is not just to design beautiful objects, but to design intuitive, interactive ways for you to create beautiful objects with them. You are the designer-collaborator.
I believe great design is not something you consume, it's something you do. It's an interaction, a collaboration.
I want you to have a deep connection with the objects in your life, to know the story of the design, to understand why a line angles in the way it does, or why that curve goes in that direction.
It's a big idea, and it all begins with these Voronoi Bookshelves.
These are the first in a series of original, interactive designs I'll be creating. This one is still in its prototype stage, and by bringing it to the next level, I will be developing the digital tools and skills needed to create even better interactive design experiences.
Right now, I have a prototype of both the web application and the bookshelf, but both need a few improvements.
The web app was originally developed as a Java applet that can be embedded in a web page. It's live right now, and you can play with it here. However, I really want to rewrite the entire app in JavaScript using the snazzy new WebGL API. Rewriting the app will make it more powerful, more intuitive and more fun to use.
The design of the bookshelf right now is great, but there is always room for improvement and variation. Perhaps a flatpack, aluminium and bamboo design? Once we have the geometry in the computer, it's easy to explore variations.
The funds from this Kickstarter will go directly to supporting efforts to rewrite the code in Javascript and to develop new variations on the physical design.
Got Questions?
How big will the shelves for the rewards be? Each will be unique. Sizes will will vary a bit, but on average they will be 4' tall 4' wide and 6-8" deep.
What are they made from? I use an ultra-premium Birch plywood. It's lovely stuff; if Jonathan Ive had to design the iPhone6 from plywood, he'd use this stuff.
Why don't you include shipping in reward? I really struggled with this decision. Because the shelves I'd like to give as rewards are so large (see above) I can't ship them with UPS or FedEx ground, I'll need to use a freight shipper. Because freight shipping rates are highly varied, I'd need to incorporate the maximum estimated cost, which would be unfair to more local people. If you live as far away as New York, anticipate paying around $400 more for shipping.
Hey, I live near San Francisco would you deliver it to me? Yes! I will personally deliver your unit if you are in the greater San Francisco Bay Area.
Won't shipping be a problem with the new version? I'll be working on a flatpack version of the bookshelf that will allow us to ship it ground.
Can these mount on the wall? What about freestanding? Yes and yes. Either.
So, what they hell is a Voronoi pattern? The Voronoi pattern emerges when you take a set number of "seed" points and use them to divide up a space into a series of cells so that all the points within a cell are closer to that cell's seed point that to any other seed point. Read more about it here.
Thank's to:
Kelly Parkinson
Ben Carpenter
Ethan Oberman
Brian Shire
Risks and challenges
Nothing can get in the way of or delay delivery of the reward bookshelves. The current version of the software is fully capable of generating them, I own the CNC machine to cut them, and I've got glue! The funds for this project will cover the cost of the materials needed to build the bookshelves.
I have the skills to develop the new version of the application, and most of the logic has been tackled in the current version, but it might take longer than expected to get the new version ready for prime time. You never know where a little thing will become a big problem that sucks up more time than estimated.
If that happens, I'll keep working on it until it's finished.
Have a question? If the info above doesn't help, you can ask the project creator directly.

In preparation for the Aug. 15 vote to affirm or reject the presidency of Hugo Chavez Frias, the Consejo Nacional Electoral (CNE) has invited a long list of dignitaries, international organizations, and even entertainment figures to monitor the referendum. These observers, if they accept the invitation, will join the Organization of American States (OAS) and the Carter Center, which have already been monitoring the continuing struggle surrounding Chavez's presidency. US President George W. Bush called on the Venezuelan government to act with "transparency" during the vote, even as his own party rejected moves to bring the UN in to monitor the upcoming US presidential election. Bush's call sparked another round of verbal attacks from Chavez.NGOs, political VIPs, and celebrities invited
The Venezuelan electoral authority has invited international observers for the Aug. 15 referendum, among whose ranks are ex-presidents from several nations, former government officials, artists, Nobel Prize winners, bishops, and famous actors. The CNE released a list of invitees that included Nobel Prize winners Nelson Mandela, Mikhail Gorbachev, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and Adolfo Perez Esquivel. Former Argentine Presidents Raul Alfonsin (1983-1989) and Eduardo Duhalde (2002-2003) are also among the personalities invited.
Former US president Jimmy Carter, whose Carter Center has been actively watching the referendum process, will be on hand along with OAS secretary-general Cesar Gaviria.
The CNE released a list of 98 invitees, a list that included individuals and organizations. Argentine president of the Madres de la Plaza de Mayo Hebe de Bonafini, ex-President of Colombia Belisario Betancourt (1982-1986), Costa Rican ex-President Rodrigo Carazo (1978-1982), papal nuncio to Costa Rica Berloco Giacinto, and US independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader were on the list, as were actors Danny Glover and Barbara Streisand, economist Joseph Stiglitz, writers Noam Chomsky and Eduardo Galeano, and Mexican ex-presidential candidate Cuahutemoc Cardenas.
The CNE also hopes for the attendance of representatives of several nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) from the US and Europe and Spanish academics. It has invited heads of the electoral courts of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Santa Lucia, Sweden, Uruguay, and the US Federal Election Commission.
Indigenous authorities are also on the list, as well as officials from the Southern Cone Common Market (MERCOSUR) and Mahathir Bin Muhamed, president of the Non-Aligned Movement.
Critics from the opposition group Coordinadora Democratica (CD) accused the CNE of not inviting experienced observers and instead bringing in personalities who would be nothing more that "tourist visitors."
The CNE announced that 13.9 million citizens are registered to participate in the referendum where voters will vote "Yes" to have Chavez leave office or "No" if they wish him to finish his second term (2000-2006). More than 31,000 Venezuelans residing abroad may also vote in one of 115 embassies.
On July 18 the CNE conducted a technical simulation of the vote across the country in which Venezuelans voted for their favorite baseball team. CNE president Francisco Carrasquero said the electoral machines functioned well. "The information we have is that everything is coming along well, the voting centers are functioning almost at 100% and the results are going to be excellent," said Carrasquero. The simulation took place in 4,632 electoral centers and handled the flow of people well, according to media reports.
Bush calls for transparency, GOP refuses UN monitoring
The hot war of words between the Bush and Chavez administrations has continued in the run-up to the referendum. Chavez has said that "the adversary to defeat [in the referendum] is George W. Bush," and he claimed that opposition plans seek to give Venezuelan crude to the US president.
Chavez also referred to a document attributed to a US organization supposedly allied to the opposition, which compared his "Bolivarian revolution" to Nazism. "You all will be the greater Nazis, Mr. Bush, by assaulting children, bombing cities, killing people," said Chavez.
Bush called on Chavez to allow the referendum to occur in an "honest and open" manner, saying that "the current government [of Venezuela] should welcome observers, encourage the observers, and not interfere in the process so the Venezuelan people can express their opinion without fear of reprisals."
The Chavez administration has called on Bush to not fund the opposition and alleges that various groups seeking his ouster are receiving money from the US. The Asamblea Nacional (AN), propelled by governing-party votes, condemned US interference in internal Venezuelan politics, attacking statements by Roger Noriega, US assistant secretary of state for Western Hemisphere affairs, and Florida Sen. Bill Nelson. The AN called statements by Noriega and Nelson "contrary to autonomy, transparency, and confidence in the electoral authority."
Vice President Jose Vicente Rangel also criticized Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry after Kerry told The Miami Herald that "if Chavez does not respect the [referendum] process, he will then remain at the margins of the law." Rangel responded, saying, "Instead of asking for transparency from the Venezuelan chief of state, it's recommended that he make the same demand in his country of Bush during the presidential elections on Nov. 2, because the same thing that happened to Al Gore [in 2000] could happen to him." Chavez's administration asserts that there was an electoral fraud in the US in 2000, which illegitimately gave the presidency to Bush.
"What moral right does the US president have to be demanding transparency in any electoral process in the world, when he won fraudulent elections?" asked Chavez during a campaign speech. Some Democrats in the US House of Representatives sought to ask the UN to monitor the November elections in the US, but House Republicans blocked the effort and struck comments of Rep. Corrine Brown (D-FL) from the official record when she alleged there had been a "coup d'etat" in 2000.
European Parliament will not send observers
The European Parliament (EP) said it would not send a mission of observers to the Venezuelan referendum "fundamentally because we have not received a formal invitation" from the CNE, according to EP Deputy Fernando Fernandez. The Spanish deputy said there were factors that "do not allow a neutral mission."
Fernandez, who would have been part of an observer mission, said he had been invited by Chavez, but said the group that should have sent the petition for EP attendance, the CNE, had not done so.
The European Commission (CE) will also not send an observer mission after determining that the Venezuelan authorities "were imposing some restrictions on the mission," according to a source from the Council of the European Union.
A dozen leftist European deputies do plan to go to Venezuela to express their support for the "program of social and political reforms" Chavez has put in place. Belgian socialist Sens. Jean Cornil and Sifa Bouarfa, the Belgian deputy from the ECOLO party Josy Dubie, and members of the Izquierda Unitaria Europea (IUE) Vittorio Angoletto (Italy), Sahra Wagenknecht (Germany) and Jasomir Kohicek (Czech Republic) have confirmed their intention to attend, according to IUE sources.
Their intention will be to express the "solidarity" of the leftist groupings on both sides of the Atlantic "with the process of political and social transformation" put forth by Chavez, said IUE spokesman Paul Emile. The European parliamentarians will not act as "official observers" to evaluate the cleanliness of the plebiscite, but they will present their "personal testimony" regarding the development of the referendum.
Regarding the personal invitations some European parliamentarians had received, Fernandez said that "the EP cannot accept invitations to individuals because the institution is what should be invited."

Aconcagua: Stevens & Team Carry to 16,400'
Posted by: Ben Liken, Garrett Stevens | January 03, 2014
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Aconcagua
Elevation: 10,550'
Today was a beautiful day here on Aconcagua, with clear blue skies and lots of sunshine for our carry up to Camp One. We had quite a bit of wind here in base camp last night and were worried that we might be walking up into the teeth of it today, but the weather gods smiled on us instead.
We were walking just as the sun came into camp, and were able to make steady progress through the broken and rocky morainal slopes above us. Soon enough we came to the heinous scree slope that guards the bench of Camp One, and the team made short work of the last few hundred feet.
We dropped our food, some equipment, and some gas for our launch towards the upper reaches of the mountain, and were headed down soon thereafter. All the luggage is currently awaiting our return, but tomorrow we'll take a hard-earned rest day. The team continues to climb strong, hydrate well, and eat hearty portions, which will pay dividends when we head up higher on this beautiful mountain.
Thanks for all the kind words, and keep your fingers crossed for continued good weather!

Robin's Healthy Take: Lunch on Summer Roadtrips
by Robin Miller in Uncategorized, July 31, 2011I went to Philadelphia's Franklin Institute yesterday with my two boys, my brother and his two girls. It was a once-a-year family outing that I'll cherish forever. Why am I telling you this? Because of lunch. After an hour or so of exhibits, we decided to break for food. Not atypical for summer outings, whether it's a museum or walk around the mall, soon enough, the troops start to get hungry. And, no doubt, like me, you've experienced the conundrum of selecting the best food options with limited choices. It happens anytime you're not near your own fridge.
These days it's not hard to find healthier meals, you just have to know what to look for. The "Foodworks" at the museum offered a terrific variety of fresh salads and sandwiches. We got a Caesar salad with grilled chicken, a chicken sandwich, vegetarian chili with hunks of fresh ciabatta, mixed greens with vegetables and hard boiled eggs, and fresh fruit.
They also had artery-clogging fare, as most places do. Clearly the folks that ordered the burgers, fries, chicken fingers and pepperoni pizza hadn't just finished the life-size heart tour. In the tour, the ventricles were clear enough for school group to walk through. You can't expect your own ventricles to stay that clear if you frequently consume lunches like that.
So, this summer, look for some of the items I've pictured here. Fresh salads, sandwiches, wraps, and fruit always make wise choices. Dodge anything out of a deep fryer or smothered in cheese. And the best part is, when you eat a delicious and lighter lunch, you leave room for a little something sweet (isn't that what summer is all about?). Frozen yogurt and ice cream aren't dietary no-no's, just always order the kid's size.
Next week we'll embrace the food on the boardwalk in New Jersey – should be fun!

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The Senate voted Tuesday to move the $42 billion Small Business Jobs Act forward, bringing the bill one step closer to passage.
The bill passed a key test vote by a 61-to-37 margin. A final vote is expected later this week. If the bill does pass a final Senate vote, it would still have to go back to the House of Representatives for approval before it reaches President Obama's desk.
The measure is expected to create 500,000 jobs, according to a summary of the bill from the Senate.
"When we help small businesses, we help to get Americans back to work," said Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., in a statement. "This is exactly the kind of targeted, job-creating legislation that folks in Montana and across the country are urging us to enact."
The House passed its own version of the bill nearly three months ago. But the bill met opposition in the Senate, where Obama has been lobbying hard for support.
What is in the bill: The Small Business Jobs Act authorizes the creation of a $30 billion fund run by the Treasury Department that would deliver ultra-cheap capital to banks with less than $10 billion in assets.
The idea is that community banks do the lion's share of lending to small businesses, and pumping capital into them will get money in the hands of Main Street businesses.
The bill would also provide $12 billion worth of tax relief for small businesses between 2010 and 2020, according to a preliminary estimate from the Joint Committee on Taxation.
In addition, it would increase Small Business Administration loan limits and extend loan sweeteners through the end of the year. It offers a slew of tax cuts to both encourage investment and entrepreneurship. And the legislation provides $1.5 billion in grants to state lending programs that can't turn to empty state coffers for more cash.
What got left out: The Senate was unable to muster enough votes to move forward a second key issue for small businesses: new expanded tax reporting requirements in the health care reform law that will require businesses to file millions of additional forms.
Both a Republican-backed proposal to repeal the expanded tax requirements and a Democratic plan to amend it failed to pass the necessary procedural votes to move it forward.
"In this economy, there is little defense for supporting oppressive regulations on small businesses that will hamper their ability to put people back to work," R. Bruce Josten from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, an industry lobbying group, said in a prepared statement.
The Chamber sent a letter to the Senate with signatures from 2,434 businesses and trade associations from all 50 states advocating for the repeal of the tax requirement.
A small section of the massive law approved in March mandates that, beginning in 2012, all companies will have to issue a 1099 tax form not only to contracted workers, as they must already do, but also to any individual or corporation from which they buy more than $600 in goods or services in a year.
The IRS Form 1099 is used to document income for individual workers other than wages and salaries: Freelancers get them and businesses send them out. Under the health care law, the 1099 form would be used to track payments for services and tangible goods. Also, it requires that 1099s be issued not just to individuals, but to corporations as well.
The issue will very likely come back to the Senate floor.

Your Pop Alternative Source
Tokio Hotel's Bill and Tom Kaulitz have just released a special video message to their Aliens around the world, thanking them for all their support and for helping guide them to the 2012 MMM championship.
"Hey, Aliens! We just heard we won MTV's Musical March Madness 2012.
... That's just incredible, thank you so much for your support, and it's unbelievable," frontman Bill said in the message. "I know it's been really, really hard because there's been so many great bands nominated ... totally unexpected."
Bill's brother Tom then chimed in — from behind the wheel of what appears to be a rather large SUV (championship swag!) — with a parting shot that's sure to anger plenty of fans of those other great bands, accusing them of attempting to bend the rules to bring Tokio Hotel down. But hey, he's a champ now, and he can pretty much do whatever he wants.
"And they tried to cheat!" Tom joked.
"And they tried to cheat," Bill laughed. "Thank you guys so much for voting! And we are so proud to have you guys, and we want to thank you for your patience. I know you're waiting for the new record and we're working on it really hard and we hope to see you guys pretty soon.
Thank you so much — we're really proud of you."
Check out the video message from Bill and Tom over on MTV.com
With so many fans of many great bands competeing, it's wonderful that we have won:)
Wasn't easy, but it makes the victory even more precious. Congratulations to Tokio Hotel and all the Aliens!!!
unexpected.... not to me.... I knew..... you know... because we are the best, because tokio hotel is the best, and since the guys asked that... I knew every alien would do the possible and the impossible we can..... voting whole night whole day, asking to everybody we know to vote, to help.. dedication and determination...it made tokio hotel winner... and was amazing see all aliens working together, to show them how much we love them and care. :0) TOKIO HOTEL FÜR IMMER.

The 58-year-old admitted to placing his hand on the 25-year-old woman's shoulder and attempting to kiss her at his Sengkang flat on Jan 16 last year.
None of the parties can be named to protect the identity of the victim.
The court heard that shortly after the victim, her mother and stepfather had returned home from shopping, the mother and daughter searched the master bedroom for a bottle of perfume they had purchased. But there was no sign of it. The mother then left the room to attend to a call.

Mercedes have been suspended from participating in this year's young driver test, it was announced Friday, after the FIAs International Tribunal (IT) deemed that the private tyre test conducted by the team with Pirelli in Barcelona last month constituted a breach of the Formula One rules. Both Mercedes and Pirelli have also been reprimanded and they will each share the costs of the case equally with the FIA.
The test was the subject of a protest lodged by rivals Red Bull and Ferrari at the Monaco Grand Prix after it emerged that the three-day, 1000-kilometre session had been run using Mercedes 2013 car, in contravention of the regulations, which prohibit the use of current cars for such tests.
Although the IT found that Mercedes had broken Article 22 of the F1 sporting regulations, it said that there was no intention by the team to obtain any unfair sporting advantage and that both Mercedes and Pirelli had acted in good faith at all times.
It deemed that Mercedes had no reason to believe that FIA approval had not been given for the test following the teams communications with the governing bodys race director, Charlie Whiting, but that Whitings actions on behalf of the FIA were taken in good faith and with the intention of assisting the parties and consistent with sporting fairness.
However, it found that Pirelli had failed to offer other teams a similar opportunity to test, which was a proviso given by Whiting when he was initially asked by Mercedes and Pirelli whether such a test might be possible.
It also determined that Mercedes did gain some material advantage from the test - even if it was only confirmation of what had not gone wrong - and that Pirelli were aware of this and that they had intended to pass some confidential data to Mercedes, even if that data was of limited use to the team since they were unaware of the tyre specifications being tested.
As such, the IT deemed both Mercedes and Pirelli to have also breached the International Sporting Code, since the test was prejudicial to the interests of competition.

Order This, Not That: Dairy Queen
by Dana Angelo White in Dining Out, August 12, 2010I remember back when DQ only had vanilla and chocolate soft serve, and maybe a few sundaes to choose from. Nowadays the menu is bursting with all kinds of frozen concoctions. We scanned the options for the best (an worst) offerings.
ORDER: Good Ol' Cups and Cones
Simple is best – a small vanilla or chocolate cone will only set you back 230 or 240 calories, respectively. Portioned controlled Dilly bars weigh in at an average of 220 calories per bar. A small frozen lemonade only has 200 calories, but is much higher in sugar than the ice cream treats.
NOT: Large Sizes, Dipped Cones and "MooLattes"
You'll find 470 calories in a large vanilla ice cream cone! Just about any large Blizzard on the menu contains over 1,000 calories — same goes for a large milkshake. You'll find even more calories and fat in the "Oreo Cookie Jar" and "Turtle Pecan Cluster" Blizzards and similar flavors loaded with cookies and candy.
You might want to think twice about those cherry or chocolate dipped cones too — the candy coating adds 100 calories and 9 grams of fat to a small ice cream cone!
"MooLattes" might sound like cute coffee drinks, but with 500 to 900 calories, up to 25 grams of fat, and 20-something teaspoons of sugar each, you'll be much better off with a plain cup of Joe.
There are many other DQ menu items too choose from, look them up on the Dairy Queen website. And props to DQ for offering a nutrition calculator – a simple selection tool that will generate a food label with all the nutrition info for your meal.

Hmmmmm....very interesting. I was hoping the move to the next generation of RC control was going to be all positive coming from 72MHz. I have had great luck with my gear, but the clubs I fly at are relatively small and we have pretty decent frequency control. It has been many years since I have had a glitch, lag, lockout or radio attributed failure flying on 72MHz. The fear is always there that some act of stupidity by someone not checking the board will take you down. Looks like I may be in for some new concerns unless the Futaba FASST system is in fact as good as they claim.

I contemplated getting the DX7SE for a little while (before I started having so many lag issues), until I found out that the only RX's that benefit from the increased response speed are AR7100's and above, a >1oz (32.5gr) RX is a bit much for a heli that only weighs 12.7oz (360gr), and that the DX7SE doesn't have a trainer port . Over time I can see myself switching my 3D foamy planes to digital servos and FASST as well. The smaller the aircraft, the faster "undesired" things happen (tip stalls, torque effects, etc), so the faster and more precise I want it to be able to react. DSM2, when turned on, scans the range from 2.4000ghz to 2.4835mhz, divvy's it up into 80 channels, then selects the 2 channels it perceives to be clearest (keeping in mind, this is only from what the antenna can see during it's powerup scan), and sticks with those 2 channels until the TX has been power cycled.For me it came down to not just track record with the currently available protocols, but also knowing that Futaba has had quite a bit of experience in the industrial systems (one of the original reasons I went Futaba when I got into the hobby). I'll admit it, I've always been a Futaba guy in RC, I strayed to Spektrum because I had to, but now I'm happily returning to the fold . Here's how quick the first heli my 8FGH is going to be setup on is:
At this size heli , every little bit more speed and response I can get definetly makes a difference (and geometry is always even more of a bugger on small helis), that was just a practice flight working on smoothing out aspects of my piloting (when I'm showing off I do all of that down on the deck ). I truely can't wait to upgrade to the 8FGH on that heli, I'm drooling at the thought of it . Edit: Disregard the part about DX7SE high speed RX's, I forgot they came out with a lighter AR7600 that has high speed. It's still rather spendy compared with the R6106HF's ($60) that will get me even faster response though, keeping in mind that there is no such thing as a 6ch high speed DSM2 RX to compare to price wise . -Kai P.S. Selecting channels segments isn't a dig on FASST or Hitec, even wireless networks subdivide the 2.4ghz band into overlapping channels to reduce interference. |
Feb 01, 2010, 07:43 PM | |
Just an FYI to any future 8FG buyers.....I noticed that the latest MAN magazine has an ad for Futaba purchase of a FASST radio system and for $10 more you get a R617FS receiver over the counter on the spot. Sounds like a good deal!!!!
I just got approval from my accountant to pursue a radio purchase. Just have to get to the nearest hobby store to handle one first. |

Whether known as the Transporter, Kombi or simply the Bus, the Volkswagen Type 2 became almost as much of a style icon as the Beetle, but it just went out of production. However, a couple in England is keeping the design alive with its Dub Box camper. Mixing the classic, '60s VW look with retro interior design and some modern features, the result is a very attractive little trailer. For about the past year, they have also been available in the US.

Lismore Castle is a stately home located in the town of Lismore in County Waterford in Ireland, belonging to the Duke of Devonshire. It was largely re-built in the Gothic style during the mid-nineteenth century by William Cavendish, 6th Duke of Devonshire.
Early history[edit]
The castle site was originally occupied by Lismore Abbey, an important monastery and seat of learning established in the early 7th century. It was still an ecclesiastical centre when Henry II, King of England stayed here in 1171, and except for a brief period after 1185 when his son King John of England built a 'castellum' here, it served as the episcopal residence of the local bishop. In 1589, Lismore was leased and later acquired by Sir Walter Raleigh. Raleigh sold the property during his imprisonment for High Treason in 1602 to another infamous colonial adventurer, Richard Boyle, later 1st Earl of Cork.
The Earls of Cork & Burlington[edit]
Boyle came to Ireland from England in 1588 with only twenty-seven pounds in capital and proceeded to amass an extraordinary fortune. After purchasing Lismore he made it his principal seat and transformed it into a magnificent residence with impressive gabled ranges each side of the courtyard. He also built a castellated outer wall and a gatehouse known as the Riding Gate. The principal apartments were decorated with fretwork plaster ceilings, tapestry hangings, embroidered silks and velvet. It was here in 1627 that Robert Boyle The Father of Modern Chemistry, the fourteenth of the Earl's fifteen children, was born. The castle descended to another Richard Boyle, 4th Earl of Cork & 3rd Earl of Burlington, who was a noted influence on Georgian architecture (and known in architectural histories as the Earl of Burlington).
Lismore featured in the Cromwellian wars when, in 1645, a force of Catholic confederacy commanded by Lord Castlehaven sacked the town and Castle. Some restoration was carried out by Richard Boyle, 2nd Earl of Cork (1612-1698) to make it habitable again but neither he nor his successors lived at Lismore.
The Dukes of Devonshire[edit]
The castle (along with other Boyle properties - Chiswick House, Burlington House, Bolton Abbey and Londesborough Hall) was acquired by the Cavendish family in 1753 when the daughter and heiress of the 4th Earl of Cork, Lady Charlotte Boyle (1731-1754) married William Cavendish, 4th Duke of Devonshire, a future Prime Minister of Great Britain & Ireland. Their son, the 5th Duke (1748-1811) carried out improvements at Lismore, notably the bridge across the river Blackwater in 1775 designed by Cork-born architect Thomas Ivory.
The 6th Duke (1790–1858), commonly known as 'the Bachelor Duke', was responsible for the castle's present appearance. He began transforming the castle into a fashionable 'quasi-feudal ultra-regal fortress' as soon as he succeeded his father in 1811, engaging the architect William Atkinson from 1812 to 1822 to rebuild the castle in the Gothic style, using cut stone shipped over from Derbyshire. Lismore was always the Bachelor Duke's favourite residence, but as he grew older his love for the place developed into a passion. In 1850 he engaged his architect Sir Joseph Paxton, the designer of The Crystal Palace, to carry out improvements and additions to the castle on a magnificent scale - so much so that the present skyline is largely Paxton's work. At this time J.G. Crace of London, the leading maker of Gothic Revival furniture and his partner the leading architect A.W.N. Pugin were commissioned to transform the ruined chapel of the old Bishop's Palace into a medieval-style banqueting hall, with a huge perpendicular stained-glass window, choir-stalls and Gothic stenciling on the walls and roof timbers. The chimney-piece, which was exhibited at the Medieval Court of the Great Exhibition of 1851, was also designed by Pugin (and Myers) but was originally intended for Horstead Place in Sussex, it was rejected because it was too elaborate and subsequently bought for Lismore - the Barchard family emblems later replaced with the present Irish inscription Cead Mille Failte: a hundred thousand welcomes. Pugin also designed other chimney-pieces and furnishings in the castle and after his death in 1851 Crace continued to supply furnishings in the Puginesque manner.
In 1858, the Cavendish family sponsored a new bridge over the Blackwater, which replaced the one built in 1775. This new construction followed designs by Charles Tarrant and was done by E.P.Nagle and C.H.Hunt.[2]
After the bachelor Duke's death, Lismore remained substantially unaltered. Fred Astaire's sister, Adele lived in the castle after marrying Lord Charles Cavendish, a son of the 9th Duke and, after his death in 1944, continued to use the castle until shortly before her death in 1981.[3] The castle was inherited by his nephew, Lord Andrew Cavendish upon Adele's remarriage in 1947.[4] It is still owned by the Dukes of Devonshire, but it is lived in for only a short part of the year. Chatsworth House is the main family seat and the home of the Dowager Duchess.
The 12th Duke, who succeeded to the title in 2004, continues to live primarily on the family's Bolton Abbey estate. His son, William Burlington maintains an apartment in the castle and recently converted the derelict west range (2006) into a contemporary art gallery, known as Lismore Castle Arts. For most of the year the family's private apartments at Lismore are available to rent by groups of up to twenty-three visitors.
In 2004 The Robert Boyle Science Room was opened nearby in the Lismore Heritage Centre dedicated to his life and works where students have the opportunity of studying science and participating in scientific experiments.
Recently Lismore Castle was used as Northanger Abbey in the 2007 ITV dramatisation of that name during its Jane Austen season.
The castle's gardens are open to the public and feature contemporary sculptures, including works by Anthony Gormley, Marzia Colonna and Eilís O'Connell. The upper garden is a 17th-century walled garden,[5] while much of the informal lower garden was designed in the 19th century.

FITS Silk Touch Show Shirt Horse Tack Review Staff
Not only has FITS Riding been successful at creating the most comfortable breeches, they have now revolutionized the show shirt. For years FITS CEO Sheryl Rudolph was dedicated to giving riders unmatched quality and comfortable fit. With years of athletic product development experience, she and the FITS development team were a major success with the design of the FITS breeches, and now another clean round with their Silk Touch Show Shirts.
No longer to riders need to feel stiff and starched, whether under a jacket or alone. The FITS Silk Touch Show Shirts is exactly what the name implies. As soon as you place this short on you are immediately relaxed, comfortable as if in a soft silk night shirt. No need to adjust or tug. The FITS Silk Touch Show Shirt has the exact blend of Tactel Nylon and Lycra Spandex to provide a custom feel, as well as a perfect 'release' over jumps. This, while not pulling your shirt out of your breeches!
In the design and fit of this shirt, you can tell they have thought of everything to tailor to a woman's fit, from the perfect amount of stretch, to the mesh gusset underarm providing both ventilation and a chafe free comfort zone. A slim fit through the waist again gives the feeling this shirt was made just for you.
The available colors are flattering for everyone. We were provided with an Apple Green which we were all very impressed with. The green is like a "Granny-Smith" shade, with a thin black detail. It would be flattering for any horse combination, jacket, skin tone, you name it. Also available in blueberry and pink, you can't go wrong with any you choose. Once you try this shirt, you will likely order all three. All of us at Horse Tack Review swear by FITS breeches and will now be hooked on the Silk Touch Show Shirt. As one tester noted, she was disappointed she will not be showing this year, she recently purchased a new horse that is very green and will not be ready for show season. We simply told her she needed to purchase her shirt in advance for next year!
Overall you cannot go wrong with the FITS Silk Touch Show Shirt, nor any of their riding apparel. We've not testing anything that we haven't been more than 100% impressed with. FITS is definitely "For the Ride of Your Life"

The main difference is that they get a fraction lighter and stiffer as you move from the Relay Pro to Thruster to XLT. Most people ride the Relay Pro great all around flex. The XLT is very popular too and it's the stiffest although I don't notice the difference unless I'm pounding through crud and moguls. Relay Pros work great in everything, a good balance. If you're in to miny tweeks and adjustments you can move up the line for a little more added stiffness. You would never get rid of the Pros that's why I just rotated the XLTs into one of my other setups.

So last month I had to travel to PA on business - upon returning I find out that my FL DL is missing and must have been left at the airport. Being the weekend I thought no problem, I'll just get a new one on Monday AM.
Unexpectedly, we had to travel Sunday evening to the birth of a new niece. The route took us through Ft. Stewart outside Savannah, GA. It was rather late (around 2am), and suddenly I see the red and blue lights behind me. I pull over to the shoulder and realize the only form of govt. issued id that I have is my Florida CCW; yes I was carrying also.
The two MP's approach and as I hand them my registration I explain the lost DL on the trip and hand them my CCW. They let me know I have a rear tail light out on our family van and to wait just a minute.
As they go back to their vehicle I'm thinking this may get ugly - carrying on a govt military installation with no drivers license - ouch!
To my pleasant surprise they return in just a couple of minutes, hand me the CCW and registration and tell me to have a good evening and to be safe. No other comments about the license. Wow!
