I'm meeeelting….
…is what the house made of wax would wail, if it could talk.
Built from 8000 paraffin wax bricks, the Georgian house in London's Southwark Street is brainchild of artist Alex Chinneck. It's part of a festival, of course, and celebrates the history of an old shoe factory. Not really. It celebrates the history of an old candle making factory, obviously, which was in Bankside 200 years ago. The piece is called 'A Pound of Flesh for 50p.' Lovely.
At first glance I thought the walls had some kind of dead creeper plant growing up them, but actually that's the melted wax. It's not quite clever enough to be melting without a bit of help, in the form of people with massive hand held torches.
It's rather effective though, and it will be there until 18 November when all that's left will be a roof with a pile of melted wax beneath, a bit like the Wicked Witch of the West's hat at the end of that movie.
The artist Alex Chinneck, above with his creation, is the guy responsible for the levitating market building in Covent Garden (I didn't think that one was very impressive) and this crazy cool house in Margate:
No more Ocean's 11 for China
Chinese censors are tightening even more on Film and TV that are streamed through the internet. They are trying to ban anything that includes one-night stands, murder, adultery, supernatural occurrences and gambling.
So no Love Actually (adultery), no ET or Harry Potter (supernatural), no Finding Nemo (I'm pretty sure in the Pixar world one fish eating another counts as murder). Hmmm.
Tall and small
To start your weekend with a smile, here's a photo of the world's tallest and shortest men, meeting in London to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Guinness World Records.
By the way, if you've read this far in order to find out why there is cake as the feature photo, there isn't really a reason. We had brownies in the office today, and this is Keeping it Vague, so… yeah, brownies. Yum.
Back to the photo: Sultan Kosen 8ft 3 inches, and Chandra Bahadur Dangi, 1 ft 9.5 inches. That's like 6ft 6 inches difference.

growing carrots that are sweet?
I grew carrots this year, and the size was good. But they were not very sweet despite claims on the seed packet. Are there any carrots that are much sweeter than others, and is there a growing condition that makes for sweeter carrots? This year I dug out a long trench and filled with a mixture of wood ashes, peat moss, compost, and packaged soil to keep the trench "clot-free". They were all pretty straight and long, but lacked any good flavor (although not bitter).
I prefer fall carrots (planted in late Aug here) as they are sweeter and lack the "earthly" taste of summer carrots. Fall carrots can also be left in the ground for a longer harvest. "Touchon" variety is the sweetest I have found to date. I planted 5 other varieties this fall for comparison.
I grew Sweet Treat hybrid Fordhook carrot from Burpee and they were excellent. Even found a note in my journal to buy more of this seed. Sweetness II was also good. Too much N can make them taste bitter.
Ripening in cool weather certainly improves the flavor. I've heard that the smaller, early-maturing carrots are better for summer harvests (spring planting). I've gotten decent flavor in summer from Mokum and Kinko. For fall/winter harvest I usually plant larger varieties like Bolero.
I recently read that sightly acidic soils improve the taste of carrots. That might explain why NYgardener had good tasting carrots (even when young) from clay soil. It would also explain why my carrots tasted better when my acidic-soil garden was new, and why after years of adding ash and lime to the garden, the carrot flavor is good but not fabulous. Can anyone else verify whether there is a relationship between acidic soils and carrot flavor?
I grew Danvers in raised beds. I think I planted them mid June. I harvested a bunch around Labor Day and they tasted like wood. I left the rest in the ground until we had a few chilly nights and they tasted wonderful!
I'd love to grow an early crop of sweet carrots.
faithling, Where did you get Mokum & Kinko seeds? Here in VT or through a catalog?

It's the time of the year when the days get shorter, retailers stay open longer, big games are released and there seems to be a holiday every other week. Defunct Games wants to ring in this festive season with a look at the most memorable video game themes of all time. For five weeks straight, Cyril Lachel and Kevin Bailey will share their thoughts on themes from the last thirty years. Join us every day between November 22 and December 25 for The 34 Game Themes of Christmas!
[ Company: Kemco | Year: 1989 | Console: NES ]
You get home with your brand new Nintendo Entertainment System. But instead of unwrapping your brand new copy of Super Mario Bros. 2, another game grabs your attention. You don't recognize it. It's called Shadowgate. Curious, you don't remember buying it. You open it and stick it in your new console to discover an adventure waiting for you. It's a graphic adventure where everything is told to you in short sentences. Sort of like this description. You decide to take the game out of the NES and play Super Mario Bros. 2 instead.
Few theme songs are as foreboding as this Shadowgate theme. You can almost feel a chill in the air with every extended note. The haunting tones are there to warn you about what lies behind that shadowy gate. The song doesn't think you're listening. Its spooky message is intensified with an octave change, forcing the player to reconsider pushing the start button. But it's okay, you'll probably make it out the other side alive. It loops back around and you're reminded that the Shadowgate isn't going anywhere. It's your move. The repeating bass line lulls you into a false sense of security. Everything is going to be okay. The theme has invaded your mind and there's no turning back. The somber notes fade out as you walk through the gate. It's a sad thing that your adventures have ended here!!
Shadowgate's theme is simple and haunting. It fits the feel of the game, but musically is not terribly interesting. The bass portion of the song follows a simple walking progression in C minor from the root note to the fifth, skipping the fourth note of the scale and then repeating. When the song changes key to D minor, the bass still follows the same basic progression. The treble side doesn't do much either, spending most of the song sustaining notes. There's a simple walk down progression centered around the key change, but like the bass notes, all it does is change key. As musically simple as this theme is though, it really fits the game, and that's what matters in the end. It's not inspiring, but it gets you in the mood for what's coming up.
What's Next?
I wouldn't go through that gate if I were you. Hey, suit yourself; I'm just trying to save you from rooms filled with endless puzzles. Don't forget your torch!

Greetings, class. Welcome to Second Life History 101. Hail Linden.
Though it may seem difficult for members of your generation to comprehend, the birth of our nation was fraught with its own unique pangs. True, other countries in the Old World had suffered some during their inception. France had its Reign of Terror. America withstood Shay's Rebellion. Luxembourg battled The Badger That Would Not Die. States, like people, often arrive kicking and screaming and slimy into the world.
Of course, in the beginning there were some who would have liked nothing more than to cut Second Life out of the bountiful belly of the Internet. These coat hanger critics could have nipped our nation in the proverbial bud had they not been roundly denounced by clearer heads. Why, those churlish chuffs couldn't even understand why sex crimes should be punishable in Second Life! Philistines! Boors! All of them!
Thankfully, you belong to a more enlightened age, when the finer points of metaversal manners are well understood. And as residents of the State of Second Life, it is important that you learn the history of our world, so that you might know whence we came.
Today, we will study the early years of Second Life, when, like so many other frontiers, it was dominated by pioneers, playboys, and plunderers. Please open your books to Chapter 1.
Tucker Carlson's idiot brother just called New York mayor Bill de Blasio's spokeswoman a "LabiaFace."
Hey, have you guys ever seen a picture of a cat before? Well, guess what. It's your lucky day, because I'm mixing the concept of a picture of my cat with the concept of the Internet!
A psychic terrorist travels to the 1990s to win his true love by murdering her entire wedding party!
The SA Goons deliver another knockout round of soccer GIFs!
Get caught up on these last-minute Bloodborne changes and read our review!
Second Life Safari highlights a magical and mystical adventure through the bowels of the Internet. We take a look behind the scenes of "Second Life," and present to you the things all other media outlets are too embarrassed to show. Social networking hits another new low, and can only be seen in Second Life Safari.

now's the time to add imo
I tried to buy at .635 and order hasn't been filled after seeing that price for over two hours;
controlled, very thin trading by MM today to keep the buys from driving this baby up and make it look more like a "flat" day; naked shorts and other selling is at an "exhaustion" point.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Nope. No bottom.
It's going to Voice Assist area. .25 cents....probably within months. The end of year is upon us. No one has any gains. Tax loss selling...again...will crater AUGT into the EOY. Again....buy it in the last week of December if you are so inclined. It will be at a new 52 week low then. Same as last year.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
you can guess all you like now..the one thing we know for sure is you missed out on 20 percent - in a day
I wouldn't count on that. I already mentioned I wouldn't be surprised if there is some interest in the company right this moment and that others have expressed interest at much higher valuations many months back. No idea whether the company that I think could be looking pulls the trigger or not but they would be a perfect fit. I already laid out a case why I think it makes perfect sense based on their interest in augmemented reality, sharing the same IP counsel for the 90 patents Augme filed, the possible acquirers interest and filing of patents covering anoynomous profiling, and their previous partnership with Amobee, now acquired for 321 million at just 16M in trailing 12 month revenues. I alreaady mentioned I bought yesterday at .55 and am adding today. I think MM could be in play soon, all sorts of rumors swirling and that leaves Augme/HC as the last American based leader in mobile marketing. Just like Admob being bought by Google paved the way for MM to rappidly growe and capture market share, MM getting bought opens up tremendous opportunity for Augme/HC. Real perfect storm beginning to develope in the space and this company is hands down the most undervalued asset in it.
They're going to have the Q3 revenue results released going right into tax-loss season. Stock should start to see a spike. And when the price spikes, you know how optimistic some of the people here will get. Some of the old pumpers will surely show back up saying "I was right all along, to the MOON Alice". I think there could be enough excitement to overcome any tax-loss selling. I'd also think that anyone who wanted to sell would've sold during this recent massacre. Who knows, you could be right, but if the revenue results from Q3 show the same sequential growth rate as Q2 and that doesn't drive this thing back well over $1, something is very wrong, and I don't mean with the company.
We picked up a handfull of shares today.
I picked up a few more today as well.
Sentiment: Buy
I wish I had a dime for everytime someone called a bottom on this stock. It would make up for my losses.
well, i only called it once, and there it was
I am surprised it's this low. Especially since I'm pretty certain there have been no less than at least two company's who I've heard about looking at HC about 3 months ago and one supposedly even floated a verbal interest in the $130 million range just for it alone. Supposedly one was a major marketing company and the other a big coupon provider. Augme supposedly wasn't interested in selling HC that cheap and wanted to get a couple more quarters of growth under it's belt to maximize value. That was even before last Q where they showed 22% sequential growth and a $25 million run rate. Right now what is so insane is that the entire company is trading for less than HC was acquired for and it was known to have been bought well by Augme at the time. I know of at least one other company whose strategic acquisition team issaid to be looking at the company right now. At this price, they are a sitting duck.
You are an #$%$, who lives in a fantasy world of misinformation and lies. You have not a clue about anything related to business. And you willfully mislead those who think you know something.
Why is the PPS in the crapper?
Simple answer, the company's balance sheet sucks (if anyone wants to bring a lawsuit against these cretins, make sure you include the outside auditors to the list). Mangement sucks. Of course you will say that there is a new sheriff in town, but that means nothing. The people who hired the old sheriff, let him destroy shareholder value, and appointed the new guy are one and the same. this BOD sucks.
Let's take a quick peek at the balance sheet. Get your air sickness bags handy.
As of 8/31/12 AUGT had $475,784 in cash. That's it.
They would run out of money real soon, and apparently they almost did. On 9/18 they had to borrow $250K paying 12%. The loan was secured by substantially all of the Company's #$%$ets, other than its intellectual property.
On 9/27 the company reported: "On September 27, 2012, the board of directors of the Company authorized the Company to accept a loan in the amount of $200,000 funded on September 11, 2012 by Ernest W. Purcell, a director who resigned on September 17, 2012."
This is somewhat peculiar is that the BOD accepted a laon on 9/27 that was funded on 9/11. Then again, AUGT has not been very good at disclores, IMO. BTW, the rate on this loan was 18%.
So we have a company running out of money to pay for keeping the lights on, needing to borrow at the last minute, or work in the dark. So how is Wall Street going to do that?
But it gets worse.
The company lists #$%$ets of 94.6 million. Of that goodwill (meaning they overpaid for something) amounts to 47.48 million. Intangible #$%$ets amount to 40.583 million. This means that 88 million of the posted #$%$ets are nothing but fluff.
That 10Q was bad enough. When one goes back and looks at other filings, the picture is horrific.
On 7/11/11, the company had 69.92 million shares outsanding. On 10/8/12 they had 112.3 million shares outstanding. That is almost an increase of 61%. Dilution at its finest.
This company has #$%$ financials, #$%$ management, and a BOD that appears to be asleep at the wheel.
A recipe for extinction.
But the MobileMoron will continue to post his garbage about how wonderful this company is. He is a sick PoS.
Mobileguru...havn't you caused enough harm? AUGT is a dead stock. It's not going back to $1.50 or $2. No buyout. Cash continues to drain away. If you're a small, new company and have to cut costs to keep the doors open, you're in sad, sad shape. I know you're not stupid, so I can only conclude you have very different motivations for continuing to pump this POS.
"Something evil this way comes."
Sentiment: Strong Sell
You have to be the most well connected person in the industry. How in the world could you possibly know all these people? Too vague.
I don't understand why the stock is so low (and still dropping) either. I do think it will recover. I'm putting my money where my mouth is as well, but only time will tell if that's the right thing to do.
Sentiment: Buy
it's hard to believe...and even from a technical standpoint, it's hard to believe it hasn't at least bounced a bit
well mobile that may be what saves this company and stock..HC is apparently a great asset and has the right people and in the right mkt at the right time..its really the only reason i have not sold..hit augt with 200 mil cash for HC and the stock will have good value..maybe i could even get even..imiami too..ha !

I'm on a roll now. This better. I nearly finished this block yesterday, but real life intervened (I had to go bike ride with the Cub scouts, which Cameron has just joined). And truthfully, I'd like to carry on and make some more today, but I need to get on with some paying jobs.
In flight block 2 – Swift
Challenging myself.
I have a serious lack of goals this year. Not that I don't have any ambition or list of things I'd like to achieve, but most have been put into the too hard basket. So I've decided to give myself a bit of a challenge, working on one of the skills that I need to improve on.
Paper piecing, my nemesis. I guess doing paper piecing is a bit like backing a car with a trailer on the back, all that back to front thing, I'm not good at that kind of logic. I usually end up with a lot of unpicking and frustration when paper piecing as I often don't judge the size of my piece of fabric correctly (always too small) or it not in quite the right position. I have done paper piecing a few times, so I know the basics, now it's time to get really comfortable with it.
A few weeks ago I stumbled across the In Flight pattern bundle by Tartan Kiwi. I have been a fan of Juliet's patterns for a while, but hesitant to give them a go. All the birds can be purchased individually, or you can buy the whole bundle. I splashed out and got the whole bundle so I can make a quilt. If you'd like to join in Juliet is running a quilt-a-long for making the birds over on her blog.
Last night, after procrastinating for a few weeks I finally did the first block. It turned out okay, not perfect, I need to watch the tutorials for tips on sewing the papers together, as mine are not quite right in one intersection. So here is my Swan. I've decided to do all my blocks in a navy background and various solid colours for the birds.
Today I'm going to have a go at the Swift.
Making the most of Summer
We are loving the warm weather this summer. We spent most of December at the local outdoor pool, when Jan came along we moved down to the river. It's quieter there and cleaner too. The water is lovely and warm.
We've been to the beach a couple of times too. Not enough times, but it's a bit far away to go more often. We would if we could, we love it!! This is out at Eastbourne beach.
And the weekend just gone we spent a couple of days at Waitarere beach with friends. The weather was glorious (stupid me got really sunburnt), the sea was lovely and warm.
So, while Summer can be a worrying time for us, with water being in short supply, as is grass to feed the stock, I'm determined to make the most of it, we've already had a few cold nights, reminding us that Autumn isn't far away. Today is a real stunner, so we'll be down the river this evening. :-)
I went on a blind date…
actually two.
Our library had a fantastic display last week, a bunch of books wrapped up in brown paper. So I got Lilly to choose one for me. I unwrapped it when I got home about lunchtime. Luckily I had a quiet afternoon, by dinnertime I had finished it. It was a great book called Ketchup Clouds by Annabel Pitcher. I think it would be under the teen fiction section at the library. I had already read Annabel's other book "My sister lives on the mantlepiece", which I also enjoyed.
After that success I went back the next day and got Cameron to choose another blind date book for me. This time I got Lost Lake by Sarah Addison Allen. Again, another fantastic read. This would be in the adult fiction, a bit longer to read, but I managed to finish t by about 11.30pm. I will be looking for the other books by this author when I go back to the library.
Hopefully they will still have a few blind dates left too.
As well as the books from the library I added a new book on my kindle (but it comes in paperback too), this one recommended by a comment on my last book review post. The Waiting Room by Alysha Kaye. I loved this book!!! Really well written, this book just keeps you reading til the end, you HAVE to find out what happens. The storyline was very original (to me at least) and was very thought-provoking. Great book Alysha!!
I did get one more book out of the library last week, I saw Sophie's Choice recommended on a blog post. Well, I tried, but just couldn't seem to get into it at all. The style of writing is not to my taste at all, I'll drop that one back unread and get the movie out instead.
I have one book here to read this week. I picked it up in town. All along our main street we have benches for shoppers and browsers to sit and rest at, some have books, magazines or games included for entertainment. Fab idea, and not the first time I've picked one up to read. Must remember to drop one or two of mine off this week to pass along.
January's crafting
Despite spending lots of time swimming at either the beach or the river I always manage to fit in some time to sew. Without it I think I would go a bit crazy. So I sew while the small boy is playing Minecraft.
I've finished a single quilt top, just need to decide on the backing, then I will show pics of here.
I've also finished a queen size quilt. This one is completely finished and ready to purchase. If you know someone who would love it, then send them here or look my Sew Vivid page up on facebook.
I've been making a bunch of book bags .
and swim bags
and even a couple of pencil cases.
Most of the smaller items were custom ordered, but I do have 2 waterproof swim bags ready to go, you can contact me via the email address in my sidebar if you'd like to order any, or via my facebook page.
This week I'll be working on a queen size quilt that is going to an Australian customer
and a single quilt going to the South Island.
To finish up the post, here's my gorgeous Faraway shawl, I dyed the yarn which is a merino alpaca mix, a friend knitted it up for me in exchange for some sewing. Love a good barter :-)
A little bit of summer fun….
Last weekend we got to go to the Wings Over Wairarapa Airshow. Usually we just watch the planes going overhead from here, but I have to say actually going to the show is well worth it!! We had a weekend pass, but didn't go on the Friday. Saturday was SO hot!!! We only stayed for about 3 hours. However Sunday turned out fabulous, hot but bearable with plenty of sunscreen, some shade and lots of water. We were there from about noon til the end at 4.30pm. And it wasn't just planes, there were the Army helicopters and tanks as well. So here's pics that I took :-)
The first flyover we saw.
Yak 3
OMG !! So hot.
The Corsair (my favourite) and the P40 Kittyhawk
P40 Kittyhawk? I think
Avro Anson
Umm, can't remember what these were called.
The Yak 52's, these were so agile.
Fantastic volunteer ;-)
There were so many other fabulous planes that I didn't get photos of, like the Venom and Vampire, the 2 spitfire etc, the aerobatics were great too. Cameron loved the planes and the tanks. He came home with renewed enthusiasm to play with his model of the Spitfire and Messerschmitt.

Graduate Projects
Graduate Projects I and II (ASEN 5018/6028) is a two-semester course sequence designed to expose MS and PhD students to Project Management and Systems Engineering disciplines while working a complex aerospace engineering project as part of a project team. The project team of from 7 to 20 students may perform some or all of the following project activities during the two-semester course sequence:
- requirements definition
- design and design review
- build
- test
- verification.
A lecture common to all lab sections will introduce students to project management, systems engineering and entrepreneurship as well as technology transfer and intellectual property issues.
For ASEN 5018, it is strongly recommended that students interested in a particular graduate project section enroll early in the open enrollment period. If a graduate project section is full, students are encouraged to choose another project. They may also place themselves on the waitlist; however, until all graduate projects sections have been adequately enrolled, waitlisted students are not guaranteed a spot in the course.
Graduate Projects is a suitable option for degree AES MS students who choose to complete two semesters of work on an aerospace engineering project rather than write a thesis or complete certificate required coursework to satisfy graduation requirements, and for PhD students who value this type of project experience to meet their coursework requirements. The course is also open to students in other engineering departments with the approval of the project professor.
Students completing this course series will be better prepared for the type of project management processes and team dynamics they will encounter in government and industry. The knowledge and skills gained by the students as a result of taking this course will make them more competitive and effective in today's job market.
Graduate Projects Summary for Spring 2015
Section 011 – CU Buffs HL-20 - Jim Voss. This project follows the SNC design of the Dream Chaser space vehicle and is excellent for those interested in human rated spacecraft. The project work for next semester involves upgrading the spacecraft mock-up to the quality of a flight simulator with flight-like panels and switches, interactive displays, visual projection and improved pilot seats. The lab sessions are now Tuesday and Thursday from 11:00 to 12:50 in ECAE 104.
Section 012 - QB50 – Dr. Scott Palo. This project is developing a two-unit cubesat for an ESA launch to deploy 50 satellites at one time. We are one of the 50. Our design will be completed, assembled and tested by the end of next semester. This long standing cubesat project enjoyed the launch over two years ago of their highly successful CSSWE satellite thanks to several semesters of hard work by AES, EE, CS and ME students. A previous Graduate Projects team is now completing the assembly and testing of a second functional satellite for delivery during the fall 2014 semester. QB50 is a great project for those who want to learn about small satellite development. The Lab sessions are on Monday and Wednesday from 1:00 to 2:50 in ECAE 1B16.
Section 013 - HySoR – Lakshmi Kantha. This project is developing a hybrid-powered sounding rocket for launch. The team has performed several static test firings while improving the rocket subsystems and are preparing for an actual launch by the end of next semester. This is for you if you like structures, propulsion, thermal analysis, control systems and trajectory determination. It is also for you if you like to make noise. The lab sessions are on Monday and Wednesday from 1:00 to 2:50 in ECAE 104.
Section 014 – LifeLAB, ECLSS Test Facility - Dr. Dave Klaus. This project is developing an advanced ECLSS technology testing facility that will be used to enable future research opportunities. The team will continue next semester building a thermal vacuum chamber and start utilizing an atmospheric control rig they completed this fall. Students will be exposed to mechanical design, electronics, machining, LabVIEW, and, of course ECLSS (Environmental Control and Life Support System) technologies. The lab sessions are on Monday and Wednesday from 9:00 to 10:50 in ECAE 104.
Section 015 - X-Hab - Joe Tanner. The NASA and Space Grant sponsored, 2014-2015 X-Hab project has a goal of creating a prototype Lunar Deployable Greenhouse to enable food production capability for human planetary exploration missions. The project includes a high-level space mission and system concept design and analysis; detailed hardware and software design, development, and testing; complex engineering and biological system integration; and rigorous technical and managerial documentation. A successful system will demonstrate the ability to care for crop-producing plants through their entire life-cycle in a closed-atmosphere environment via remote monitoring and tele-operation. Multiple engineering disciples are needed on the team. The lab sessions are on Tuesday and Thursday from 3:00 to 4:50 in ECAE 104.
Section 016 - GoJett - Dr. Ryan Starkey. This project is developing a mini-jet powered, supersonic UAV. Skills in mechanical design, controls and electronics or software development are required. This project is for you if want to learn about aerodynamics, jet engine propulsion, structures, thermal analysis, and control systems. And go fast! The team hopes to complete low speed testing next semester before starting development of the high-speed version of the aircraft next fall. The lab sessions are on Monday and Friday from 9:00 to 10:50 in ECAE 1B16.
Section 017 – RECUV Aerial Robot Project – Dr. Eric Frew. The goal of this project is to design and deploy a multi-rotor aerial quad-rotor robot.

Kevin Smith RB DET Sep 13 '78
Kevin Smith recorded zero touches in the Lions' Week 13 loss to the Colts.
The only snaps Smith saw were as a third-down pass protector for Matthew Stafford. When Mikel Leshoure needed a break, it was a red-hot Joique Bell that came on. There's no upside in stashing Smith in any format.

LONDON -- Centrica, one of the U.K.'s main energy providers, has signed a deal to buy billions of cubic meters of liquefied natural gas from a U.S. plant, in the first deal clearly intended to bring gas from North America to the U.K.
The contract with Cheniere Energy will see Centrica import 1.75 million metric tons of gas per year for 20 years with an expected start date in 2018. That would be enough to power around 1.8 million U.K. homes, according to a statement by the firm. It is the first such deal between a U.S. supplier and a U.K. utility.
The contract is subject to Cheniere getting the necessary regulatory approval and securing financing before it becomes finalized. Cheniere would ship the gas from its proposed fifth processing unit, or train, at its Sabine Pass terminal in Cameron County, Texas, for which it applied for federal permits earlier this year.
In February, Centrica announced that it would not be participating in a plan to build new nuclear power stations in the U.K., and there has since been speculation as to where it will deploy the cash reserves on its balance sheet. In the company's preliminary results statement the firm indicated that it planned to expand its North American business.
U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron welcomed the news, saying in the statement: "Future gas supplies from the U.S. will help diversify our energy mix and provide British consumers with a new long-term, secure and affordable source of fuel."
Energy security in the U.K. "lies in diversity," according to Ed Davey, the U.K.'s Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, also quoted in the release. Mr. Davey noted that the U.K. is already supplied with gas from Norway, the Netherlands and Qatar.
Cheniere and other would-be U.S. natural gas exporters hope to benefit from the sharp increase in domestic natural gas supplies--and subsequent crash in prices--brought about by recent advances in drilling methods.
U.S. benchmark natural gas prices have been stalled below $4/MMBTU since October 2011, compared with the current $10/MMBTU in the U.K.
Cheniere already holds government permits necessary to export natural gas from the facility's first two trains, now under construction and expected to start exporting in 2015 and 2016. It was the only company to receive such permits before the U.S. Department of Energy halted issuances while it studies the economic impact of exporting natural gas.

Growing lettuce; do I need bunny protection?
nyc_sod(z7 Marietta)April 23, 2009
My beds are a foot off the ground and will be growing Romaine. Do I need to protect the heads from the bunnies or is it high enough?
My beds are about 15" but because of the slight slope, one side may be more like 12". Last year they didn't seem to bother anything. I'm not convinced they won't, they just haven't. I meant to put up fencing last year, but didn't get to it. Once the plants were past seedling stage, I wasn't so worried that they'd wipe out the garden.

After I had some fun with the Top 7 List of Unique Units now a Flop 5 of those. Thanks to Moineau for the idea
The idea is to evaluate in what possible scenarios each unique unit can be of help and how much so. Those that have the fewest scenarios where you want to have them are the weakest, the floppiest . That does not mean that each of those units is generally useless. Actually all unique units have a place in a possible scneario in a game, unlike some unique buildings which

This article continues my series about Ironman&ffa, taking my previous articles on Traits in ffa and Ironman and Ironman/ffa: maps, difficulty, settings How to adapt as a basis. I recommend reading them first.
So after those two, what is this article still about: I want to explain why picking certain trait combinations isn´t good, though the single traits are. For example on Grid Ironman Fin and Philo are good traits, but Elizabeth isn´t a good pick (though not a bad one as well).
This is the second edition of a four-part series about National Wonders which is supposed to describe the scenarios in which those play a role. As usual when evaluating a building, unit etc. in civ it´s vital to not only look at effects and abilities, but as well at costs, required technologies and most importantly the overall context: In what situation in what kind of game will the building/unit/etc. help me achieve a certain goal? The more situations and different kinds of scenarios there are,
Continuing the series on Ironman/ffa (see here for Traits in ffa and Ironman) this article is going to describe what impact different maps and other options like difficulty have on the game, how you need to adopt your game style to that and what influence that has on how good the different traits and civs are, with a special focus on choice of civ.

First games have to be categorized into two groups: Ironmans and ffa-diplo games. both formats

|Ex-Bengals cheerleader libel case goes to jury
|Written by Admin
|Wednesday, 10 July 2013 07:13
Sarah Jones wants damages from thedirty.com and its operator over posts made in 2009 on the Scottsdale, Ariz.-based website.
The posts claimed she had sex with every Bengals player and probably had two sexually transmitted diseases. She says both are false.
Jones' attorney told jurors in closing arguments that the website operator is guilty of malice. The operator's attorney says his client could not know whether the posts were true or false and shouldn't be held accountable.
Both attorneys say the verdict could impact other websites. The posts aren't related to Jones' guilty plea in 2012 to charges she had sex with the teenager.
