Técnicas Reunidas will build a hydrocracker plant and a diesel hydrotreater facility for an upcoming 400,000 bpd refinery and marine terminal project that Saudi Aramco is developing at Jazan, in the kingdom's southwest on the Red Sea coast. The facilities are scheduled to be operational by 2017.
By ANNA PEREZ
MADRID -- Spanish engineering company Técnicas Reunidas SA said Thursday it has been awarded two projects worth $900 million, its biggest contract so far this year, by state-owned Saudi Arabian Oil Co, better known as Saudi Aramco.
Tecnicas Reunidas will build a hydrocracker plant and a diesel hydrotreater facility for an upcoming 400,000 bpd refinery and marine terminal project that Saudi Aramco is developing at Jazan, in the kingdom's southwest region on the Red Sea coast, the company said in a statement.
The facilities are scheduled to be operational by the beginning of 2017. The hydrocracker plant will be one of the largest in the world and the second largest in Saudi Arabia.
The Jazan complex will provide refined products for the domestic market, which is facing rapidly rising demand. Saudi Arabia, the Middle East's biggest economy, has seen its domestic energy requirements surge in recent years as the government spent oil revenues on new industries and infrastructure to diversify the local economy and to accommodate the kingdom's growing population.
The contract is Técnicas Reunidas' fourth from Saudi Arabia during 2012. The value of the three previously awarded projects amounted to $1.6 billion. Dow Jones Newswires

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Border management
Fighting terrorism and transnational crime through effective border management.
Ensuring global border security requires close coordination among all stakeholders.
Many regional and international organizations have developed initiatives to improve border security, including their own database systems, which can add immense value to border management operations.
INTERPOL must therefore work closely with such organizations to improve data sharing capabilities and expertise in the field.
INTERPOL has a number of partnerships and agreements with external organizations to promote data exchange, including:
- International Air Transport Association (IATA)
- International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
- World Customs Organization (WCO)
- International Organization for Migration (IOM)
- European Union (EU)
- United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime (UNODC)
- Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada (DFATD).
Joint police operations are held together with key partners such as Frontex, the European border control agency.

K3B is far better any ways. Though they do need to get off of HAL and onto uDev.
Phoronix: Nero CD/DVD Burning Software On Linux Is Dead
As was raised earlier today within the Phoronix Forums, the Nero CD/DVD burning software for Linux is dead...
K3B is far better any ways. Though they do need to get off of HAL and onto uDev.
Yea, good riddance. With optical media on the demise, even more so.
Even on Windows I stopped using it. Latest good version of their software was 6. Now is only bloatware.
Thats an very sad news for me. Because Nero for Linux was the only ! Linux burning software that works for me. K3B and brasero fail at simple tasks like burning an data dvd or audio CD. And the half of the burned disks are broken :/
Most likely nobody wanted to pay for Nero Linux. The tool itself was not bad, had good udf support when you dont want to use iso9660 the same time. Also it had an option to create bootable media with prepared floppy images as bootcode (with integrated cdrom driver). I usually modded floppy images myself and added bios and flash tools for Kanotix users when they needed a bios update, but using Nero it would be possible for noobs as well. The price might have been a bit high for simple cd/dvd/bluray burning. You could not compare it to the suite for Win. But as you get dvd burning tools for free these days there was no real demand. The Nero Win tools are now more like a a collections of dvd convert, simple video editor and such things. The market for high quality tools of that kind would be there as well for Linux, but compared to Win there are much less users who want to spend money for that. I did not test the Nero Suite for Win for several years now, because i usally don't need those tools. I am personally a fan of using imgburn via wine which has got nice udf support as well. k3b which i use for Kanotix works for simple tasks for most users (i would prefer using imgburn if you want to write standard conform bluray however).
I didn't even know it existed.
I think we have 2 copies in the company for Windows users. This is because they have ~10 years old CD labels in Nero format, which cannot be converted and they don't agree to convert or recreate them in a different (free) format
Back in the days.
1. I wanted something like Nero on Linux. Nero was good at that time, actually!
2. It did not happen.
3. Linux/BSD/Solaris people came and made their own programs.
4. These programs became better. I thought: Now, if they actually would port it, they would face a free as in freedom and free as in beer competition that is very strong.
5. Nero was actually ported. Wow.
6. But Nero was already a bloat on Windows. It wasn't about burning. It was about everything and all.
7. K3B was so nice, I had Nero for windows (already a overcolored stupid variant) so I kept with K3B.
8. ...
9. Nero on Linux is dead.
That is the problem for commercial vendors. First they deny Linux. You ask as a potential customer but they just laugh in your face or pretend to never have heard the L-Word.
Then "Linux people" start to make their own Software for the purpose.
The free software grows and becomes better.
Somehow people then do not really have a need for the commercial software anymore if they get a prog with equal capabilities for free and also with complete sources and stuff so it can't go bankrupt and it is a more trustworthy software.
No hidden things, no DRM, no phone home, no bullshit, the right to modify and share with people as you want.
And they want to compete with that?

Helpful Definition for: Skin Care
As the term suggests, Skin-Care, refers to taking care of one's skin through some beauty regime. A lot of skin care products are available in the market now-a-days. These include creams and lotions to moisturize the face and body which are often formulated for different skin types. Then there are sun-screen lotions to protect the skin from the ultra-violet rays of the sun, skin lighteners to repair or hide skin imperfections like acne, dark circles; tanning oil to brown the skin, etc.
Proper skin hygiene is important because unclean skin allows the development of bacteria. The dead skin cells mix up with sweat and dust to form a filthy layer on the surface of the skin and if proper skin care is not taken it leads to further damage of the skin. Apart from using the skin care products, one should also use cosmetic products carefully on the skin because these may cause allergic reactions. One should also dress according to the season in order to facilitate the evaporation of the sweat. Sunlight, water and air play an important role in keeping the skin healthy. Also different types require different treatment, for example, method of cleansing oily skin is to cleanse with a natural face cleanser formulated especially for oily skin, followed by a toning lotion.


text: Council Approves Hurricane Sandy Property Tax Relief by Cristian Salazar, Dec 11, 2012 Twitter NEW YORK — The City Council passed a bill yesterday aimed at helping homeowners whose property was seriously damaged or rendered uninhabitable by Superstorm Sandy. The bill extends the deadline for homeowners to pay their next property tax bill, from Jan. 1, 2013, to April 1, 2013. The extension is interest-free. Only those homes that the Department of Buildings has determined require major structural repairs or must be demolished are eligible. "This is a small thing we are doing to help Hurricane Sandy victims, but it goes a long way," said Councilman Vincent M. Ignizio, a Republican from Staten Island whose district is still reeling from the damage caused by the storm. The bill was one of a handful passed by the Council at its regular stated meeting yesterday, including one to extend the landmark biotechnology credit created in 2009, and another that calls on new buildings to set aside space for recyclables. A number of bills also were introduced, including one that critics say would give unions and corporations unfettered ability to spend money to influence elections. The bill, backed by Quinn, was introduced without remarks. PROPERTY TAX RELIEF Staten Island Councilmen James Oddo and Ignizio proposed the bill extending property tax relief to Hurricane Sandy victims. The Republicans represent some of the coastal communities hardest-hit by the storm. "The genesis of this is a business owner on Staten Island," Oddo told the Council. "On top of everything else he's going through, [he] pointed to his business and said, 'I have a $13,000 tax bill I have to pay." While the current bill won't bring him relief from his business tax, Oddo said it will help provide property tax relief for his home "that was wiped out." Ignizio said the property tax relief would also help his constituents: "I just wanted to give voice to some of my constituents, in this case Mike Abruzzo, who has lost his home totally, to nothing. In fact if you walk where his home is today, it's just his kitchen floor which managed to survive because it was built on a slab. And there's absolutely nothing there." "Throughout the process of working with Mike," Ignizio continued, "he said to me, "I'm down on my luck, everybody wants to help and I know in a couple months we're going to be sent a property tax bill, and if anybody can help with things like that it would be appreciative.'" He said he hoped that there would be a more "robust conversation" around commercial property taxes for owners "who are getting bills for $15,000 to $20,000, for businesses that no longer exist." The bill was announced by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Quinn and Finance Department Commissioner David M. Frankel on Nov. 29. They also said at the time that they would push for a rebate to homeowners on their property taxes to better reflect post-Sandy values. That measure would require the support of the state Legislature, which is tied up in a squabble over who will control the Senate. A separate piece of legislation sponsored by Oddo and passed by the Council yesterday seeks to make property tax bills more transparent for residents, by requiring the Department of Finance to create a brochure to explain tax bills, as well as abatements and exemptions available to property owners. BIOTECHNOLOGY TAX CREDIT AND RECYCLABLES The Council also voted to extend the biotechnology tax credit, until Dec. 31, 2015. The credit, created under state legislation passed in 2009, aims to encourage investment in the biotechnology sector. Capped at $3 million per year, the credit has been criticized for being underwhelming compared to incentives dangled by other states and counties looking to horn in on the biosciences industry. Councilwoman Jessica Lappin, the sponsor of the bill, said the biotech credit had been "successful in keeping small businesses in the city." Another measure passed at the Council meeting would require new buildings to make space for recyclables as they do for refuse. The bill aims to divert waste from landfills. "We hope to make the act of recycling as built into our daily routines as brushing our teeth is in the morning," said Councilman Dan Garodnick, the sponsor of the legislation. CAMPAIGN FINANCE BILL Already the subject of debate among policymakers since it was announced last week, Council members introduced a campaign finance bill that would make it possible for unions and corporations to to spend unlimited amounts of money in coordination with candidates for political office. The bill, sponsored by Councilwoman Rosie Mendez of Manhattan, is backed by Quinn, an expected candidate for mayor next year. The city's Campaign Finance Board has said the bill "would open a gaping loophole in a system routinely praised as a national model for reform" and would "allow unions and corporations to operate above the law." ___ Image of Speaker Quinn and NYPD Officer Lawrence DePrimo, by William Alatriste. The Council honored DePrimo at the stated meeting Dec. 10, for giving a homeless man a pair of boots — a benevolent act that was caught on camera.

text: Ground Zero Finalists by Gotham Gazette Staff, Feb 23, 2004 Twitter Gardens of the World by Studio Daniel Libeskind The World Cultural Center by THINK On February 4, rebuilding officials narrowed the nine plans for the World Trade Center site down to two. The committee chose architect Daniel Libeskind, whose plan exposes the Twin Towers' original foundations and leaves the hole at Ground Zero for a memorial, and the THINK team of architects led by Rafael Vinoly and Frederic Schwartz. Their World Cultural Center plan includes two open steel latticework towers with a museum, an amphitheater and other cultural spaces at different heights. In a four-hour meeting the night before, a selection committee with representatives from the city, the state, the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation and the Port Authority selected the finalists. Lower Manhattan Development Corporation head planner Alex Garvin said the two plans were chosen because they create inspiring places for the memorial and a cultural district. Both designs also re-connect streets through the site in keeping with Mayor Michael Bloomberg's vision for lower Manhattan. And they both, said Garvin, create spaces that work well for private development. During the next three weeks, the two design teams will modify their plans based on discussions with rebuilding officials and other key players -- including World Trade Center lease-holder Larry Silverstein, who has said that he doesn't approve of the designs. Officials will then select one finalist. "These plans must be adjusted to reality," said Garvin. "We understand that and so do the designers." After the final design is selected, Garvin and Port Authority consultant Stanton Eckstut will combine it with transportation, infrastructure and land-use details to create a master plan. According to Roland Betts, a development corporation board member, the architectural vision that is selected will undergo many changes as it is incorporated into the master plan, but its "core idea" will not be compromised. For example, Betts said, the central vision of the Libeskind design incorporates the original foundations or "slurry walls" of the towers to create a sunken memorial space; this concept would be preserved for the final plan. "Over time, the best parts of the design will survive," said Port Authority Executive Director Joe Seymour. The designs by Libeskind and the THINK team will remain on exhibit at the Winter Garden in the World Financial Center until the end of the month. Visitors can submit comments about the plans both at the exhibit and on the development corporation's website.

Ten-year-old Jesse Aarons rises early every morning in the summer, sliding out of bed as soon as he hears his father leave for work. Moving quietly so as not to wake his mother and sisters, he goes down to the cow field to run, challenging himself to improve in speed and endurance. Jesse is determined to be the fastest runner in the fifth grade by the time school starts again in the fall. At Lark Creek Elementary, where he goes to school, the younger boys—those in the third, fourth, and fifth grades—have informal running competitions during their recess periods, as the school's few athletic supplies are taken up by the older children. One time last year, Jesse had won "not just the first heat but the whole shebang" although he was only a fourth grader. This year, the usual winner, Wayne Pettis, will be in the sixth grade and will no longer participate in the races, so Jesse has a good chance of being "the fastest kid in the third, fourth, and fifth grades."
Jesse has straw-colored hair and a wiry build; he is the only boy in the family, "smashed between four sisters." His older siblings, Ellie and Brenda, who are teenagers, tend to be self-centered and mean and essentially despise him, while the baby, Joyce Ann, just gets on his nerves. In contrast, May Belle, who is seven, pretty much worships Jesse, which Jesse thinks is "OK sometimes." Jesse's mom is a harried woman, overwhelmed with the responsibilities of the farm and the children, and Jesse's dad, who drives all the way into Washington D.C. every day to work, is always tired and does not have time to spend with Jesse like he used to. One of the reasons Jesse is so intent on being the fastest runner in his class is that he wants to make his father proud.
Jesse's running is interrupted when May Belle calls him to come in for breakfast. He goes back to the house and into the kitchen, where he tiredly plunks himself down at the table. Ellie and Brenda...
(The entire section is 588 words.)
Since Ellie and Brenda do not return from their shopping trip until after seven, Jesse spends the entire day picking beans and helping his mother can them. The weather is stifling, and Momma is in a very bad temper. At suppertime she is too tired to fix a meal, so Jesse makes peanut-butter sandwiches for himself, May Belle, and little Joyce Ann. The three children go outside to eat where it is cooler. As they look over at the U-Haul still parked at the Perkins place, May Belle says that she hopes the new family has a little girl her age so she will have someone to play with. After they have all finished eating, Jesse goes alone to the room he shares with the little ones, hoping to find some peace.
Jesse lies on his bed and takes out his drawing pad and pencils. He is a talented artist and loves to draw. He especially likes to create cartoon animals, making up stories for them and placing them in "impossible fixes." He is proud of his work and longs to share them with others, but his teachers look upon his drawing as "wasted time, wasted paper, wasted ability," and his father scorns his interest in art as being effeminate, unfitting for a boy. The only adult who appreciates Jesse's talent and understands his passion for drawing is Miss Edmunds. Miss Edmunds is the music teacher who comes every Friday to Lark Creek Elementary to sing with the children for a glorious half hour, playing her guitar and allowing them to take turns on the autoharp, tambourines, and drums. Jesse is completely enamored of Miss Edmunds, but the people in Lark Creek look down on her, calling her "some kinda hippie" and deriding her for not using lipstick and for the cut of her jeans. Change is slow to come in the poor, rural town; it takes Lark Creek a long time to accept what is normal in nearby Washington, D.C., and its "fancy suburbs."
Before Jesse knows it, it is nearly dark, and his mother is calling him to milk the cow. While he is busy...

Jesse sees Leslie again on the first day of school, when he finds that she is in his class. Leslie comes dressed in faded cut-off shorts, a blue shirt, and sneakers. Although she is clearly an object of curiosity to the other students, who are dressed in their Sunday best, their reaction does not seem to bother her. She sits quietly at her desk and looks back at them with a frank and unpretentious gaze. Jesse is assigned to pass out arithmetic books, and when he passes Leslie's desk, she gives him a discreet wave, to which he responds with a nod. Imagining how it must feel to not know anybody and to find herself dressed so differently besides, Jesse feels sorry for Leslie.
The fifth-grade teacher, Mrs. Myers, drags out the textbook distribution process interminably. Jesse is bored and takes out a piece of paper and begins to draw. His domineering classmate, Gary Fulcher, tries to see what Jesse is doing. Jesse covers his paper and a brief scuffle takes place. Mrs. Myers reprimands both boys, threatening to send Jesse into the hall to copy the dictionary if he persists in being disruptive. Jesse puts his head down on his desk and wonders how he will survive the year.
The students eat lunch in the classroom because Lark Creek Elementary does not have a cafeteria. The meal is supposed to be eaten in silence, but Jesse hears some of the girls making fun of Leslie, who has brought yogurt for lunch. When the bell rings for recess, the boys rush out in anticipation of running the first races of the year. Gary Fulcher puts himself in charge, sending the little boys away and dividing the rest into four groups. Each group will run a separate heat, and the winners in each heat will run against each other in a final competition to determine the champion. Jesse is in the last group, which he doesn't mind; he likes the idea of watching to see how well the others do and then surprising them by showing how much he has improved over the summer.
...(The entire section is 665 words.)
Leslie continues to race with the boys at recess every day, and she wins every time. Jesse has resigned himself to the fact that he will never be the best runner in the fifth grade. The other boys, unhappy at the direction their traditional activity has taken, begin to drift off to other pursuits. By Friday of the first week of school, it is clear that the races have come to an end.
Jesse's only consolation is the fact that Friday is music day, and Miss Edmunds is back. Miss Edmunds actually singles him out in the morning. She asks him if he has kept up his drawing over the summer and expresses a desire to see his work. During music class, Miss Edmunds sings a song called "Free to Be You and Me," and by the time she is on the final chorus the whole fifth grade has joined in. Jesse, "caught in the pure delight of it," looks over and smiles at Leslie. She smiles back and knows that he is no longer angry about what happened to the races.
On the bus, Leslie sits with Jesse and May Belle and tells them about Arlington and the "huge suburban school" she used to attend, with all its amenities. She acknowledges that she had a lot of friends there, and that her adjustment at Lark Creek Elementary has been hard. Leslie's parents, who are both writers, have moved to the country because they "are reassessing their value structure," having decided that they are "too hooked on money and success." Although the decision to move was made by all of them, relocating has been hardest on Leslie, but she accepts what is happening without bitterness or complaint.
At school, the students in the fifth grade are assigned to write an essay about their favorite hobbies, and Mrs. Myers reads Leslie's composition about scuba diving aloud to the class. She is insensitive to the fact that by singling her out with such glowing admiration, she is making it even more difficult for Leslie to fit in. After reading Leslie's essay, Mrs. Myers assigns the class to watch something on television for homework. When Leslie reveals that she cannot do the assignment because her family does not own a television, she is again subjected to the disbelief and contempt of her classmates. At recess, Leslie is harassed further by the girls in her class. Boarding the bus that afternoon, she feels completely demoralized and goes straight to...

May Belle is a slow learner when it comes to protecting herself against the malevolence of Janice Avery and the other bullies. Daddy has brought back some Twinkies from Washington for her, and she happily announces this to everybody on the bus. When Jesse tries to tell May Belle to "shut up about those dang Twinkies," she shrugs off his warning, telling him that he is just jealous because he didn't get any. Jesse is not surprised when his little sister comes running to him at recess, crying that Janice has stolen her Twinkies. Leslie tries to console May Belle, but May Belle wants revenge. She tells Jesse that he must stick up for her and beat up Janice Avery in her behalf, and when she calls him "yeller," he knows that...

Christmas is coming, and Ellie and Brenda both want to get gifts for their boyfriends. There is barely enough money, however, for the family to get presents for May Belle and little Joyce Ann. Brenda insultingly asks Jesse what he is getting his girlfriend for Christmas, and Ellie chimes in, suggesting that Leslie is such a "stick" that she could not be a girl. Jesse is infuriated, partly because the crass cruelty of his sisters sickens him; he cannot understand how they can dare to make fun of someone as pure and noble as Leslie. He is also angry because, although he knows Leslie will not expect anything from him, he wants desperately to give her something of significance.
Jesse's father has promised to give him...

In the weeks after Christmas, Leslie has very little time to spend with Jesse in Terabithia because her father has begun repairing the old Perkins place and needs her help. After school and on weekends, he wants her to be home to do the"hunting and fetching" for him as he works—and he enjoys her company. Jesse tries going to Terabithia alone, but it is not the same without Leslie. Because his little sisters are always underfoot and his mother is frequently cross, he does not like to spend his time at home either. Sometimes Jesse goes over to the Perkins place. Prince Terrien is usually "exiled" to the porch to keep him out of trouble, so Jesse takes the unhappy puppy to play out in the fields.
Leslie has a...

It is a very rainy March, and for the first time in many years, the creek bed over which Leslie and Jesse swing to get to Terabithia is filled with swiftly rushing water. Easter is coming, and Ellie and Brenda are already arguing about what they will wear to church. The Aaronses only go to church once a year, and Momma always tries to put aside enough money so that the family will be able to get new clothes for the occasion. This year, however, Mr. Aarons gets laid off from his job, so there is no money for new outfits for anyone.
Ellie and Brenda complain bitterly about having nothing to wear. Ellie suggests that they charge some items, and Brenda says that some people routinely buy clothes that way, wear it once, and...
(The entire section is 686 words.)
The weather is dismal during the week after Easter. Jesse and Leslie, disappointed that their break from school is being ruined by the incessant rain, sit disconsolately on the porch at the Burkes's house on Monday, wondering what to do. Leslie says she wants to go to Terabithia despite the inclement weather, and Jesse responds, "Why not?" Leslie goes in to get her rain gear and to borrow a jacket of her father's for Jesse to wear. Her mother, who is preoccupied with her writing, comes out to greet them. Jesse wonders at the difference between Mrs. Burke, who creates stories in her head, and his own mother, who only watches them on television.
Leslie and Jesse run barefoot across the field with the puppy, joyfully...

When Jesse wakes up on Thursday morning, it is still raining. He hears his father drive away in the pickup truck; even though he is out of a job, Mr. Burke still leaves early every day to look for work. Jesse gets out of bed to feed and milk the cow. May Belle asks where he is going, and he is at first abrupt with her but makes it up to her by joking around and getting her to laugh before he goes.
Jesse is still bothered by his fear at the thought of crossing over the water into Terabithia. As he does his chores, he reflects on ways he can overcome his terror, reasoning that "he may not have been born with guts, but he [doesn't] have to die without them." He decides that he will ask Leslie to teach him how to swim...
(The entire section is 667 words.)
Brenda's insensitive declaration that his "girl friend" is dead does not at first register in Jesse's mind. Finally, his father speaks, telling him, "They found the Burke girl this morning down in the creek." According to Mr. Aarons, the rope they had been using to swing across into Terabithia had broken, and Leslie had apparently hit her head when she had fallen and drowned. His father says he is "real sorry," but Jesse refuses to believe that Leslie is dead. He turns around and runs blindly out the door, down to the main road, then west, away from Washington and the old Perkins place. Jesse hardly notices when an approaching car honks at him and swerves out of the way. Somewhere in his mind, he gets the feeling...
(The entire section is 640 words.)
Jesse walks over to Burkes's house with his parents. As they sit awkwardly in a room filled with strangers, an older woman comes over and introduces herself as Leslie's grandmother. She tells Jesse that Leslie had told her all about him. Jesse does not know what to say, so he busies himself by petting P.T. His traitorous mind is filled with morbid thoughts; he notes that he is "the only person his age he knew whose best friend had died" and reflects that, because of this, he might be treated specially at school and in his family. He has a sudden curiosity to see Leslie "laid out" and wonders idly if she will be buried in her jeans or perhaps the blue jumper she had worn on Easter.
Leslie's father enters...
(The entire section is 719 words.)
On Saturday, Jesse awakens with a "dull headache," but he goes out to do the milking because he wants things to be normal again. Then, thinking that he would like his paints back, he decides to go to the creek to see if he can find them. It is a beautiful spring morning, and the water level in the creek bed has fallen considerably. Jesse takes a large branch and sets it up bank to bank over the narrowest spot on the creek. He crosses over to the other side, but sees no sign of his paints.
Jesse enters Terabithia, wondering if it still possesses its magic. P.T. is afraid to cross over on the rough bridge Jesse has created, so he swims across the water. Jesse goes into the castle stronghold but does not know what to...

Go with 8 oz if you like more cheese. It's a matter of preference. The fineness of the shred, too, can be a variable, as well as how far to the edge you like to go, etc. Anything much over 8 oz gets awfully cheesy, though.

These from BAPTISMAL REGISTER IV (1759-1762) which contains also marriages... DECLOUT, Alexis avec FANERATEE, Louise _6^ Voisin, Francoise with RICARD, Balthaz____59 There were two here in 1780s that I have reason to believe were brothers although the records I have examined call one Louis de Villars and one Jacabo Dubrlel. From their ages in Spanish military records it is possible they could be the records listed in BAPTISMAL RECORD - Book II - 1744-1753 as I have a theory they could be sons of Louis DuBruieul Villars and Felicite Delachaise.

About The Celtic Tenors
Celtic Tenors Tickets - More Than Just an 'Irish' Band
If there was one thing about the music industry that stood out, it was the fact that many could utilize their heritage or the heritage of a culture to influence music and celebrate that culture with such unfathomable talent. Such is the case for the talents of Matthew Gilsenan, Niall Morris, and James Nelson: the Celtic Tenors. As always with such talent, it didn't take long for a record label -- namely the Telarc label -- to notice, signing them a record deal.Celtic Tenors Tickets - More of the Journey
Their 2003 debut So Strong pretty much solidifed them in the genre, especially when they were able to release a second LP entitled Remember Me under a different record label, Angel Records. But what made them so good? Why were they so successful?Celtic Tenors Tickets - The Key to the Tenors
Unlock the door to them, and you'll find that they had a younger and hipper sensability then even their contemporaries in the genre, such as the more 'mature' Irish tenors that brought the opera sound to the forefront. No, the Celtic Tenors utilized more of the pipes to bring about that new freshness in the sound that became so prevalent and popular during that time, especially with other notable bands like Gaelic Storm making waves. Nothing more can be said about the Celtic Tenors except for the word 'beautiful'.Top 10 The Celtic Tenors Songs

Circus Oz was Australia's premier international circus, having performed in 26 countries on five continents. In early 2002, Circus Oz enjoyed its strongest financial position since its founding in 1977, making a profit and sitting on a surplus of AUD$1,169,313. Although in recent years the company had increased the percentage of revenue generated from the box office, more than 60% of its funding still came from the Australia Council, its largest government sponsor. Linda Mickleborough, general manager of Circus Oz, was pondering how to respond to a recent offer by the Australia Council to fund a new position, director of development, at Circus Oz. The Australia Council was strongly encouraging the circus to hire development professionals to expand its funding from corporate donors. As an enticement, the council offered to underwrite the cost of the position for two years. Mickleborough had found the ideal candidate. The decision, however, was still a difficult one. Circus Oz had relatively flat salaries, reflecting deeply held egalitarian and democratic values. These values were central to the company's creative process, culture, and aesthetic. The suggested salary of the development director position was more than two times the highest salary currently paid to any employee at Circus Oz. Such a large salary disparity might wreak havoc on the company's morale and culture.

From what I gather, this is G-sync without that G-sync chip. Or am I wrong?
Phoronix: Dynamic Refresh Rate Switching For Intel's DRM Driver
A patch-set has been published that provides Dynamic Refresh Rate Switching (DRRS) support for Intel's DRM Linux graphics driver...
From what I gather, this is G-sync without that G-sync chip. Or am I wrong?
It's a power saving feature that's been available on laptops for a long time. You can lower the refresh rate to save power by reducing the display clock if the system is idle.
I was wondering if this also works with your normal monitor output.
My Full HD monitor supports a range between 56-75Hz and some also supports 24Hz.
Can any of the devs chime in and tell me what the difference is between this and the intel module parameter "lvds_downclock" ?
Even if it isn't G-sync, it sounds like it could be hacked into a G-sync-like capability if the display can change refresh rates fast enough.

Keep 'em here, Send 'em home
Carter Wrenn

Immigration, the newspaper says, is 'bedeviling" Congresswoman Renee Ellmers. It's also bedeviling Speaker John Boehner. And half the Republicans in Washington.
It's a knotty problem.
Part of the politicians have decided it's best to send every single illegal immigrant back to where they came from – but no one's quite sure how to go about rounding up 10 to 20 million people.
Another group of politicians, who're mostly Democrats, want to make all the illegal immigrants citizens.
And, as a sort of compromise, a third group of politicians propose to let the illegal immigrants stay here but not make them citizens.
It gets more complex.
Groups like the Farm Bureau say they desperately need workers and without illegal immigrants the crops won't get picked.
And, to make it more complex still, amid all this hollering, no one's answered a couple of questions.
For instance, how, in the middle of a recession with high unemployment, is there a lack of workers? Is there really no one to hire? Or are the farmers simply looking for cheap immigrant labor?
Farmers have given their answer to that question loud and clear.
But isn't there an independent study by Harvard or North Carolina State that proves it's a stone cold fact unemployed workers won't touch a job on a farm with a ten foot pole?
There's another question.
Out of the ten million or so illegal immigrants living here now there must be at least one who's a saint. Or genius.
Should we deport saints and geniuses? Or let them stay here?
There're also bound to be some thugs and gang members among the illegals. If we make everyone a citizen, what do we do about them?
The politicians are treating illegal immigrants as a class which is a lot simpler than treating people as individuals – but wouldn't it be more practical to ship the ne're-do-wells home and allow the saints and geniuses to stay?
Sorting out the good guys and bad guys would be another complex problem but, instead of answering tough questions, all we hear is politicians howling:
Keep 'em all here. Send 'em all home.

Yeah, it's a conundrum for sure, Carter. What do we have here...10...maybe 15 million (that's MILLION) illegal people living in America currently? Gosh. What do we do with all these people? All of them came here to "get a better life". So, the lib/dems are all over that because it's just so sad that these people didn't have a good life where they were and America is such a rich and wonderful country. Makes me weep. Guess we should accept it if folks from the pits in Africa and South America and Chile and others just come here illegally to "get a better life" because...hey....America is a rich and prosperous country. Be damned our immigration laws. Pffffft. Those are so stupid, y'know?
Our big problem, of course, is that we have millions and millions of illegal Mexican immigrants in our country. They can come here with their back packs and cross into our country in so many places it's pathetic. No boarder control. That's politically incorrect, don't you know. Now........what in the heck do we do with all of these folks? Can't enforce our immigration laws. Those laws are too stiff, too cumbersome, too expensive now.
How 'bout we try our best to find these ILLEGALS...(and that's what they are regardless what the left wants to call them). Then, how 'bout we identify them and then how 'bout we give them some sort of "right" to be here with severe restrictions on what they can do and most importantly what they can GET? Give them a right to work. Give them the right to pay taxes when they DO work. Give them the right to file for citizenship just like anyone else coming here...and to be put into that mix at the time they file for citizenship even though they would most likely be put at the end of the line regardless when they came here.
Oh, well, I guess that's just asking too much to come to a country that offers so much and gives so much. Isn't that just asking too much? What a freaking joke.
Illegal is illegal. I don't care what country you bring up, that's how every other country deals with these folks..and even worse. Why is America being asked to be different? Stupid.
I don't care if these people get citizenship and vote democratic (which many won't vote that way if they have to be required to work and become prosperous on their own). But, I DO care if they get it without doing it legally and in the right way. And, I'm CERTAIN the vast majority of my fellow Americans believe as I do.

Amnesty will end two party government. I think you laid out the situtation very well. For one thing the market place will determine the price for picking vegatables. We cry about a new minimum wage, when the farmers can't get people to pick crops for $7.00 per hour, they will pay $10.00 rather than let them rot in the fields. Now like any capitalist system the price of food will go up. The idiots who are in favor of a minimum wage don't understand that side of formula either. Give all the fast food workers a raise to $10.10 and watch what a quarter pounder with cheese cost the consumer. Some people call that economics. No easy answer on amnesty, only problems. Why did we allow an illegal thing to get this far gone. If we didn't stop shoplifters for 10 years wonder where that would get to now. I still think the best possible answer is to kill all the lawyers.

When it comes to agriculture, there is a simple solution, and one that worked well before Cesar Chavez and the Democrats killed it, and that was the Bracero program. Under the Bracero program, contractors brought in temporary agricultural workers from Mexico and were responsible for them, and for getting them back to where they came from after the harvest. Temporary agricultural work visas are all that is required. There is absolutely no reason to offer citizenship or residency, but instead bring them when farmers need them and then send them home. Unfortunately Chavez was looking to grow his labor union and believed that the Bracero program stood in its way, so he lobbied Democrats to end it.
Other countries do essentially the same thing as the Bracero program, with bringing temporary agricultural workers, sometimes from former Soviet countries, and then sending them home after the harvest. The United States itself has a successful temporary worker program, Work and Travel, for foreign college students, mostly from eastern Europe, to come to the US and work in summer tourism related jobs and then go home in the Fall. It works.
Then there are other industries which once had lots of American citizen workers who were paid decent wages, until the illegal Mexicans ran them out and largely took over the jobs there. The construction industry is one of those. We owe it to our own citizens to run the illegal interlopers from Mexico back home so that our own citizens can have those jobs again. And we need to crack down hard on those who employ illegal aliens in such jobs.
It is also necessary to consider fairness to those who apply legally to come to the US, are turned down, and then obey the law by staying in their home country. It would be an appalling betrayal of the law abiders to give amnesty to the law breakers. That means amnesty of ANY sort, whether residency or citizenship. If we need more immigrants, they should come entirely from those who apply legally, not from pushy lawbreaking Mexican line jumpers.
We don't need to try to pick good from bad illegal aliens. If they have thumbed their nose at our immigration laws and sneaked in illegally, they need to be sent home. Period. There are too many well qualified people who want to come here but respect our laws to give any slots to the lawbreakers unless they go home and apply legally. We are a nation of laws, not of ideological expediency.
As to politicians who support amnesty, they need to be defeated, and that includes virtually all Democrats and some renegade Republicans who are betraying the principles on amnesty for illegals set out in the Republican platform. One such betrayer is Thom Tillis who told the NC Farm Bureau that he supports a pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens. Another pair at the Congressional level are Renee Ellmers and David Rouzer. Fortunately, all of those pro-amnesty Republicans have primary opponents who oppose amnesty. Amnesty is an issue that should bedevil those who support it all the way to electoral defeat.
