AMAZING!It would seem to be worthwhile reminding everyone about the centerpiece of the gardens and how different it will be from previous Disney castles.

Yes, a garden is better and it will help disperse the crowds better especially for those that want to take lots and lots of pictures. I noticed that there is no room for the Main Street vehicles, which was also not included in Hong Kong.Published: December 6, 2013 at 11:12 AM

P.O.V. - My Country, My Country | Preview | PBS
Duration: 02:15
Program: POV #1913
Broadcast Date: Oct. 25, 2006
Is it possible to conduct democratic elections in a war zone? Can a foreign military force bring Western-style democracy to the Muslim world?
For U.S. military and diplomatic planners in Iraq, the answer to both questions has been a resolute "yes." For Iraqis, these contradictions have led to tragic consequences as political uncertainty and mounting violence continue to dominate daily life more than three years after the U.S. invasion. The state of democracy, both Iraq's and the United States', is the focus of Laura Poitras's new documentary, "My Country, My Country," an unforgettable journey into the heart of war-ravaged Iraq in the months leading up to the January 2005 elections.

CINCINNATI (AP) — A southwest Ohio mother has been charged with driving at 95 mph while intoxicated with four children in her car.
Cincinnati police say 40-year-old Kami Rice of Golf Manor was arrested early Friday on charges of child endangering, driving while intoxicated and having an open container — a 24-ounce can of Natural Ice beer.
Police say she was pulled over just after midnight while northbound on Interstate 71. Court records show the children range in age from 6 to 14.
She faced an initial court appearance Friday. No attorney was listed for her.

Coop bank cautious over loans to firms Chandigarh, August 7 We are now very cautious while sanctioning the term loans and huge amounts are normally not sanctioned, said Mr G.S. Grewal, MD of the bank. Due to good performance of the bank , it could sustain itself despite the loss, however, it would be unwise if they are not overcautious. Earlier, while the Managing Director of the bank could sanction loans to any limit, now a restriction has been placed and he can sanction amounts only up to Rs 5 lakh. Beyond that the case has to be scrutinised by the sub committee. The Chandigarh branch of the bank sanctioned a loan to Punwire as it had started advancing non-farm sector loans then. While in Punjab, the bank already has as a stronghold, and there was also a sub-committee for sanctioning of loans, said Mr Grewal. However, no
sub-committee was there in the city at that him. Sending conditions have been changed for the branch here. Meanwhile the bank has already set aside provision against this amount in its accounts. The provision has been set aside during this period and the banks financial condition is strong, said the MD. The Punjab State Co-operative Bank, which has 813 branches in Punjab, is providing non-farm sector loans to sugar mills, spinning mills , Housefed, Markfed, Milkfed etc. A meeting of the Board of Directors will be held on August 16 and important issues will be discussed upon.
Designers have market to exploit
Mumbai, August 7 The country is now shifting from traditional lungis and dhotis to more trendy wear. It gives designers of today a chance to explore more possibilities and a bigger consumer area, Mr Kulkarni said while addressing a seminar at the Lakme India Fashion Week in South Mumbai here. Sharing his experiences with the gathering comprising mainly of young designers, he said: Fashion is a passion business, and wanted them to be passionate about their job. Warning against dabbling in too many things at the same time, he suggested that the designer should concentrate on the area he is good at, be innovative in his designs and give the customer something new to look forward to all the time. With a career spanning 20 years in the sales and marketing side of the fashion industry, Mr Kulkarni who is at present working with Supra Apparels and Accessories, asked the young designers to be far-sighted in their approach towards fashion. Fads do not help long-term businesses, he pointed out and said the best way to sell is to give the customers something new and trendy all the time. Trends and fads have a thin line between them and it is essential for the designers to differentiate between the two. Setting trends will make a name for you, he said while citing the example of Levis, the brand name which is still synonymous with jeans. Fads, however, are short-lived and without much impact.
IIT Kharagpur to open campus in Silicon Valley
Kolkata, August 7 To internationalise IIT, Kharagpur, will be the focal theme of (its golden jubilee) celebrations, Institute Director Amitabh Ghosh told IANS. Mr Ghosh said the central government had given the go-ahead for the Silicon Valley project, which will be the first of many such ventures planned by the institute in other countries. We want true globalisation of education along side economic liberalisation. We have received positive vibes from the Indian government, Ghosh said. Silicon Valley has been a natural choice for an overseas IIT campus because a large number of its former students are employed there. An association of the IIT Kharagpur alumni, the IIT Foundation (IITF), is pooling in money for setting up the campus. IITF has already contributed Rs.300 million to the institute, Ghosh said. He said IIT Kharagpur, which has two campuses in the country (Kolkata and Bhubaneswar), is well equipped to undertake distant-learning with its nearly 2,100 ready video lectures by experts on different subjects. Mr Ghosh is optimistic that the IITs upcoming Silicon Valley campus would generate interest among American students. The institute is upgrading its facilities to international standards at a cost of Rs 340 million. Our endeavour is to provide opportunity to foreign students to study in the institute with financial assistance and also engage in faculty exchange programs, Ghosh said. There are other institutes here as well that are making global strides. Perhaps for the first time in Indias educational history, the world famous Harvard University is all set to forge an academic collaboration with a private engineering college run by Non-Resident Indians (NRIs). The IIT Kharagpurs endeavour is seen as another step in that direction.
IT industry pins hopes on Karnik
New Delhi, August 7 Kiran Karnik, former head of Discovery Channel in India, will have a tough and challenging road ahead of him as president of Nasscom, industry representatives said here today. The Nasscom chiefs post fell vacant in April on the sudden demise of Dewang Mehta, who was president for the last 10 years, in a hotel room in Sydney. The dynamic 38-year-old Mehtas name was synonymous with Indias booming software industry. It will be a very challenging role for Karnik to step into Dewang Mehtas shoes. I think he has networking skills to build relationship with the government, industry and international organizations, said Bhupesh Lall, Director (Marketing) of software solutions firm PTC India. Indian IT industry is itself very strong and therefore he wouldnt be selling a non-entity. But at the same time we would expect him to carry further what his predecessor had initiated, he told IANS. According to Lall, Karnik would have to explore the opportunity of increasing outsourcing software products and services from India by international companies to steer the industry out of the demand slowdown. Before joining Discovery Channel in India in 1995, Karnik had spend around 20 years in the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and was closely involved in pioneering efforts in the use of local television for rural development. He also managed the Indo-US Satellite Instructional TV Experiment (SITE) in the 1970s, the countrys first large-scale satellite broadcasting initiative. Karnik has consulted for Unesco, the Ford Foundation and the World Bank, among others. Industry analysts say since Karnik does not have a software industry background he would have to embark on a thorough understanding of issues relating to the IT business. As the chief of the countrys premier lobby group, Karnik must have the vision to predict future trends. In the first few weeks, the President will have to work on building his own understanding and authority, said an analyst with a rating agency. Though he would only be the paid chief executive of Nasscom, everybody would expect Karnik to recreate the hype that his predecessor created about the software industry, the analyst, who did not want to be named, said. Vinnie Mehta, director of Manufacturers Association for Information Technology (MAIT), said although Karnik has vast experience and networking skills, he would not have the advantage of being the helmsman at a time when the industry is riding on the crest of a wave. Indias software and services industry growth, which expanded by 55 per cent during fiscal 2001 to $8.6 billion, is expected to come off the boil in the current fiscal year due to an economy slowdown in the U.S. that accounts for over 70 per cent of the countrys exports. Karnik is coming in a very different circumstances. We will have to give him time to adjust to the changed scenario and then chart the roadmap for growth by focusing on new export destinations, Mehta of MAIT said. Phiroz Vandrevala, executive vice-president of Indias top software company Tata Consultancy Services, said: He is widely recognised as one of the key figures in the broadcasting sector due to the numerous initiatives that he took in the development of the Industry. We feel that with his drive and experience, he will be the ideal candidate to lead Nasscom in its efforts to develop India as the next IT superpower,
Vandrevala, who is also the chairman of Nasscom, said in a statement. IANS
Govt may lower bank guarantee for IBP
New Delhi, August 7 However, the existing minimum investment norm of investing or commitment to invest Rs 2,000 crore in oil exploration, refining, pipelines or terminals, for being eligible for acquiring the government stake in IBP, will continue. Earlier it was proposed that prospective bidders would have to furnish a bank guarantee of Rs 2,000 crore (minimum investment committed in the petroleum sector) for acquiring IBP. This is now being reduced to Rs 500 crore, but the Rs 2000 crore investment commitment remains, government sources said. A Cabinet note lowering the bank guarantee has been circulated for comments and the Department of Disinvestment (DoD) would be approaching the Cabinet soon to seek a formal nod to float bids for the disinvestment of government equity, the sources said. The bank guarantee is being lowered as the cost of serving a Rs 2000 crore bank guarantee (about Rs 50 crore) was higher than the share of profit the strategic partner would get, they said. IBP posted a net profit of Rs 54.22 crore on a turnover of Rs 8388.4 crore in 2000-01. The bank guarantee is aimed at enforcing the bidders commitment to an investment of Rs 2,000 crore in exploration, refining, pipelines or terminals.
Bathinda refinery to come up by 2005 New Delhi, August 7 The Rs 9806 crore project of HPCL would have a capacity of 9 million metric tonne per annum. The project, which would be commissioned in 2005, will generate ample employment opportunity and a large number of industrial units will come up in the state for optimal utilisation of the refinery products. The refinery is provided with primary and secondary processing units designed with the state-of-the-art technologies to optimise the production to suit the future demand of northern region. The refinery is equipped with a captive power plant of 140 MW based on syngas produced by using the pet coke, one of the products of the refinery. The syngas is also utilised for generation of hydrogen required for the process unit, thereby optimising the cost of production. The GGSR has units for treading various products to meet the product specifications as stipulated by the BIS/CPCB. Facilities are also being provided to manufacture auto fuels meeting Euro IV specification. Another feature of the refinery is its capability to produce large quantity of LPG, almost three times the LPG produced by refineries of similar size. It has facilities like single point mooring, crude oil terminal and cross country pipeline will be provided at Mundra port in Gujarat. The crude unloaded at Mundra will be transported by 1011 km long crude oil pipeline, traversing through Gujarat, Rajasthan, Haryana to the site in Phulokhari, Bathinda district. Infrastructure facilities like township, facilities for supply of water, railway siding, power for construction and approach
road are being provided. Facilities for storage and dispatch of products through rail, road and also by cross-country product pipeline are a part of the project.
FDI proposals worth 980 cr cleared
New Delhi, August 7 The proposals were cleared by Union Commerce and Industry Minister Murasoli Maran, according to an official statement. While the Agrani project, launched by Zee Telefilms promoter Subhash Chandra, envisages 74 per cent equity divestment in favour of a foreign partner to own and operate satellite communication systems, the GDF proposal is for restructuring equity.
India difficult nation to do business with New Delhi, August 7 Global investment is a competitive business. Investors have to be persuaded to opt for India rather than, say, Brazil or China, Paul said at a meeting of Indo-British partnership organised by Assocham here yesterday. The decade of 1990s was a turning point for the Indian economy and so was for the Indo-British commercial relationship, he said. Bilateral trade between the two nations has crossed the over Rs 33,000 crore mark in 2000. The United Kingdom has strengthened its position as Indias second largest trading partner with 6.4 per cent of the market. We need to build on this success, Paul said adding that one of the features of Indo-British trade was that it was a genuine two-way flow. He pointed out huge potential for increasing mutual ties between the two nations in the area of IT and electronics as the majority of inward investment projects in the UK last year were those connected with it, software and electronics. Paul said the UK was Indias natural IT partner in Europe as 63 per cent of the total number of foreign nationals who were granted permission to enter the UK on the basis of their IT qualifications last year were Indians. More and more Indian companies were realising that there was an enormous potential in the UK, he said, adding that we have after all 70,000 IT companies of our own. Within 10 years, the European market would be larger than the US market, Paul said. IT industry was becoming the model of mutually beneficial partnership, Paul said adding that the success in this area had mirrored in other sectors like pharmaceuticals. During 2000, the UKs exports to India were up by 41 per cent and similarly Indian exports to the UK were up by 16 per cent.
Make India a developed nation: Kalam New Delhi, August 7 Addressing senior executives of Punjab National Bank here, Dr Kalam observed that India being a dominantly agro-based rural economy, adequate emphasis should be laid on development of infrastructure so as to transform the rural areas into vibrant economic zones. Paying rich tributes to Lala Lajpat Rai and Dayal Singh Majithia for their vision, Dr Kalam said that the country today needs such visionaries to transform it from a developing nation to a developed nation. For realising a developed India at par with the United States of America, UK, Canada, Singapore and other similar countries, Dr Kalam identified four areas to be given special focus which are agriculture and food processing, education and health care, communication and information technology and infrastructure.
BMW profit rises Munich, Germany August 7 Sales of BMW and mini cars should for the first time rise to more than 900,000, which would mean an increase of about 9 per cent, the company said in Munich. BMW cars should match last years results, the company said, stressing the high costs of new models, returns on which would only be seen in the second half.
Sterlite buy-back offer opens on Aug 13 Mumbai, August 7 All statutory approvals have been obtained and the offer would open on August 13, and close on November 30, 2001 or when Sterlite has completed buy-back to the extent of 25 per cent of the issued equity shares under the offer, whichever was earlier. Havells Group Power equipment company Havells Group has drawn up a Rs 15 crore operating investment for the current fiscal. Our operating expenses for the fiscal year will be Rs 15 crore. Out of which Rs 5 crore each would be investment in the switchgear and metering businesses including plant upgradations while the remaining Rs 5 crore will be spent on cables, Anil Gupta, Director, Havells Group, said. HCL Technologies HCL Technologies ltd today reported more than doubling of its net income to Rs 480.1 crore in 2000-01 fiscal while also projecting optimistic growth during the current fiscal despite us slowdown. Sterling Biotech Sterling Biotech Ltd has recorded a net profit of Rs 5.45 crore over a turnover of Rs 25.23 crore for the second quarter ended June 30, 2001. The company had posted a net loss of Rs 2.43 crore in the same quarter last year. Operating profit has increased to Rs 11.71 from Rs 4.58 crore in the year-on-year quarter. PNB Housing firm PNB Housing Finance, a wholly owned subsidiary of Punjab National Bank, has posted a net profit of Rs 9.87 crore as against Rs 5.63 crore last year, showing an increase of 75 per cent. Bank of Baroda Bank of Baroda has declared a 40 per cent dividend for the financial year 2000-01 despite drop in net profit. The net profit of the state-owned bank for the period under review was down to Rs 303.13 crore from Rs 502.77 crore in 1999-2000, BoB Chairman and Managing Director P.S. Shenoy told reporters here today.

2 eggs
1 tablespoon milk
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons seeded and diced tomato
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
Delish! My family was getting very sick of scrambled eggs, but I like having eggs for lunch once a week. This recipe made all of us happy. Go easy on the cream cheese - 1.5 T. is more than enough for two eggs.
This is a pretty omelet (see photo) but was just ok. I feel like it needed something salty added to it like capers, or I'll bet smoked salmon would be amazing. It just needs something to balance out the slight sweetness of the cream cheese. I would make it again with those additions. Thanks for posting!
7 Ratings
It was way to creamy for me! I would use more egg and less cream cheese.
This was SO good! I wasn't so sure about the cream cheese but it turned out great! I also used chopped onion instead of chives and added ham, bacon, and cheese to it. The ham and bacon were really good mixed with the cream cheese. This is definitely on my list to make for breakfast. It was fast and delicious!
So quick and so simple, yet so tasty! Even without the chives. I think it's going to be my quick side dish no.1 replacing gone off scrambled eggs.
I love to make this with fresh tomatoes and chives from the garden. Creamy & Delicious!
Loved this!

Title: A Synthesis of Post-Fire Road Treatments for BAER Teams: Methods, Treatment Effectiveness, and Decision-Making Tools for Rehabilitation
Project Proposal Abstract: Recent expansions in post-fire rehabilitation research have increased the knowledge base and opened the door to more informed decision making and successful post-fire rehabilitation efforts. Although there are many tools which have been developed to estimate peak flows and road structure capacities, nowhere, is any of this information compiled in a single resource. In addition, much of the new information is contained in gray literature and is not easily accessible. As with most BAER activities, post-fire road rehabilitation must be done in a relatively short time frame following fire in order to reduce risks associated with increased runoff and sediment loss. Some BAER specialists have expressed interest in a single resource which outlines the most current information and decision making resources. A synthesis of post-fire road rehabilitation information would be useful in making road rehabilitation decisions. The authors propose that a post-fire road rehabilitation synthesis be developed specifically for BAER specialists to assist in shaping rehabilitation plans more efficiently. This proposal is in response to Joint Fire Sciences AFP 2006-3 Task 4: "Evaluating the effects and effectiveness of post-fire management activities including but not limited to burned area emergency stabilization, rehabilitation, restoration treatments, and post fire removal of woody material." This proposed resource will be developed by interviewing BAER specialists to determine their perceptions on current decision-making tools and identify what gaps need filling in order to make BAER tasks more efficient. Following the interviews, literature will be reviewed based on the needs identified by the BAER specialists. The most useful and relevant information will be synthesized in a single source with additional guidance and feedback from the future users to maximize its utility. Both a handbook and web-based guide will be developed and made easily accessible to those making decisions in post-fire road rehabilitation. The authors plan on exposing this product through workshops designed to reach those involve in BAER team efforts.

Welcome to the Infamous wiki guide.
Imagine if you were suddenly thrust into an unenviable situation that changes your life forever. Then imagine if that same situation changed not only your life, but millions of lives of the people that live in your home city as well. This is the reality of Infamous' main character, Cole, who one day thinks he's delivering a harmless package only to find out that it's a weapon of mass destruction. With the power of this bomb unleashed on the helpless, innocent civilians of Empire City, Cole finds himself a wanted, hated man. But you can certainly change things for Cole... if you want to, that is.
You see, Sucker Punch's latest title (and its first non-Sly Cooper title since the Nintendo64 days) gives you choices. Lots and lots of them. Cole made a mistake he didn't even know he was making. Will he rectify his mistakes by doing good? Or will he continue down the dark, evil road the sudden bomb detonation began to bring him down? That's entirely up to you. And there's no doubt you'll find plenty of opportunities to do good -- or bad -- for yourself and those around you, as you wake Empire City up from its destruction-enticed slumber.
Infamous is a deep game, and there's a lot to see in Empire City's three bustling boroughs. And that, of course, is where IGN Guides comes into play. Our Basics section will outline both the fundamentals and advanced tactics that you should know (and utilize) during your adventure, including myriad facts on Cole's new, intrinsic electrical abilities that are at the heart of your experience. Our Walkthrough will bring you through each and every main quest, while our Side Quests section outlines all side quests, whether they be good, evil or neutral. And finally, the last four sections of our guide -- Blast Shards, Dead Drops, Stunts and Powers -- provide in-depth coverage of all of the game's collectibles, from the Blast Shards that will increase your power exponentially to the special super powers that you can use as a result of being exposed to the bomb.
Are you ready, Cole? It's time to take back Empire City... for better, or for worse.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
This is my personal favourite game in YEARS.

So I usually just play a game till campaign/story mode ends and that's it. Halo/CoD/Generic FPS? I play for about 2 months online, on and off, and get bored. Some games I don't even finsih, even if I like them, because they feel... IDK, like they add length in an artificial way, soemthing like farming for gear here, though farming is actually fun, since no battle is usually the same, even if it is against the same monster. I'm 70 hours into this game. I think I haven't put so much time into any gane since I was in High School, which is like 6 years ago. I tried to play MH when I had my PSP, don't remember which one it was, and It was so hard to start that it turned me away from the game. I had a couple of friends playing and having an awesome time and they rushed me through part of the game so I could get cool gear and play with them, but since they rushed me, I did not learn to play propperly. I didn't know what things I needed to farm, where was everything, monster patterns, how to use the weapons well, how to and when to dodge and attack... etc... So when I was playing alone, it sucked (I sucked) . This game I got it because why the heck not? I had my Wii U collecting dust since Xmas, when I pretty much beat NSMBU 100%, Zombi U and Arkham City. I thought I was going to leave this game pretty soon since I had a bad experience with the last attempt I made, but Oh boy... starting was hard... but then I killed a Great Jaggi and said.. well, this dude sucks, it's small and not epic at all like the video... Then... The monsters started growing, as did my interest... Here I am 70 Hours later in G Rank. I can't see it ending soon either. I want to see Jhen Moran, Alatreon, Miralis... Silver Los, Golden Ian... etc... Best investment in entertainment I've made in YEAAAARS. TL:DR: Noobs, don't let the difficult beginnings of this game sway you away from pushing forward. Buckle up and play on, there will be a point where you will feel an INMENSE satisfaction with this game. Each new weapon forged, each new armor made, each new monster slain, even if it's the same species, feels extremely rewarding. Lots of fun to be had. And if You are on the fence and don't know if you want to buy this game or not... go buy it, seriously, thank me later. I stopped playing Bioshock Infinite because of this... /blogfaqs lol. --- You want bugs go play Lost Planet. This is war boy, no bugs or liberals allowed. -Nick_GF | |
Yup, Tri did the same for me. Now you see why people say this series is so under the radar... Tri single handedly restored my faith and love for gaming. I have been thoroughly enjoying each day since MHU released, and I don't see that ending any time soon | |
Too bad gamers these days want instant gratification. MH doesnt do that :/ --- Now Playing: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. NNID: Veluxier. MH3U Name: Reixulev. HR: 5. EU | |
Veluxier posted... Too bad gamers these days want instant gratification. What is wrong with instant gratification in regards to participating in entertainment? Video games at their core are there for entertainment purposes, and realistically if you are looking for entertainment (books, movies, music, games), you want something simple and easy that doesn't take too much effort, isn't frustrating, and that you can sit back and relax. it's lazy couch entertainment for a reason, this isn't a sport. Anywho, I agree with the OP, it becomes fairly addicting as time goes on and if you know what you are getting into when purchasing it, try to stick it out until at least the G. Jaggi, so that you get a better sense of what it's all about. | |
Mmaguy posted... Veluxier posted...Too bad gamers these days want instant gratification. I completely agree with you about your entertainment and instant gratification statement. This is an economic and personal investment, in the sense that it takes some more time to REALLY be fun. It's a fact that starting this game is somewhat hard. --- You want bugs go play Lost Planet.

Why Proper Rx Disposal is Important to Water Quality
The EPA has identified numerous pollutants that can be considered endocrine disruptors. These not only include the obvious pharmaceutical products, but also over the counter medications, fire retardants and fragrances commonly found in cosmetics, deodorants and lotions. These endocrine disruptors are not treated by the Wastewater Treatment Plant. They can pass through into the river. At this time, we really don't know the extent of the long or short term problems from this contamination to the environment, animal or human health.

Tips on Waste Reduction and Disposal
- Buy only what you can use before the expiration date,
- Bring medications to Drop Off Days,
- Ask your pharmacist about their Take Back Programs and the type of disposal they use. (Don't use a Take Back Program that discharges the wastes to the sanitary sewer.);
- Throw medication into the trash after making it unusable. (mix liquids with absorbents such as kitty litter or coffee grounds; and mix pills with glue and dry before discarding. Patches can be cut into small strips and mixed with glue. Also, remember to remove identification from bottles or use a nondescript container.)
- Controlled substances: please refer to the printed materials accompanying the medication for specific instructions on proper disposal.

Something's afoot on our supermarket shelves. Gone are the days when beans would be beans, or cheddar merely cheddar. This, as we know, is the era of product diversity. But not just choice in format (sliced, block or grated cheese) or skimmed, semi-skimmed or whole milk (we now have soya and lactose-free as well); this is the era when brands see real economic potential in tapping into our special dietary needs or in tweaking a product formation to attract a new demographic to the category or the brand. More and more brands are doing it because it makes commercial sense for them to do so.
The latest major brand to make the move is Heinz, which is targeting a UK gluten-free market estimated to be worth over £100 million per annum and rising, with new gluten free dried pasta and gluten free sauce ranges. The fact that there are known to be approximately 125,000 people with coeliac disease in the UK, a figure rising on average by around 7000 people each year shows that this new departure makes sound economic sense. In the US, the market for gluten-free products is huge and was estimated to have reached a value of $4.2 billion by the end of 2012 so for products that can play beyond national boundaries the return could be significant.
However, as niche as the products may be, the shoppers are no less savvy or demanding purely because they are buying a gluten-free product. They will expect the same quality in taste, value and brand experience from a Heinz gluten-free product than they will from any other product that carries the Heinz name. And for Heinz, read any other brand looking to extend their ranges into new areas.
This increases the importance of effective concept testing at pre-launch stage. It not only means finding people specifically appropriate to the proposition, but also presenting them with a concept that meets the particular needs of their condition. Beyond that, of course, it has to be more than just relevant to coeliacs, it has to taste good and not give them the impression that they are having to compromise in order to eat healthily for their condition. And then you need them to be interested enough in buying the product at the price point that you have set.
The same rules apply, of course, whether the new demographic is being targeted on health or any other grounds. Douwe Egberts is launching its first flavoured instant coffee in the UK as a way, it is being reported, of driving sales among younger and non-coffee drinkers. They're also hoping that the new range will encourage existing coffee drinkers to experiment a little more with their tastes.
Concept testing will take into account the issues and requirements of the target demographic, prioritising on features within the product that meet those needs. It can help the brand identify potential conflicts product features and proposed price points, in so doing exploring other potential barriers to purchase. And, of course, it will expose what may be blatantly bad ideas.
It isn't foolproof, of course. There are always factors that will be beyond the control of the researcher. Research will not militate against a rival brand bringing out a product of their own that changes the consumer landscape and influences purchase criteria; a disruptive marketing campaign that affects the dynamics of the market or economic changes that influence price viability. But one thing's for sure, not effectively testing your concept at all is almost a guarantee of failure in the market.

Tibetan exiles participate in a march and rally, Mar. 10, 2012, in New York. Mar. 10 is the anniversary of a 1959 revolt in which Tibetans resisted an occupation by Chinese troops. In the past 2.5 months, 14 people have set themselves on fire in Tibet.

"Self-immolations in Tibet Must Resonate in America"
Op-Ed, Christian Science Monitor
March 14, 2012
Author: Andrea Strimling Yodsampa, Former Research Fellow, International Security Program, 20082012
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: International Security
Tibetans around the world are in mourning for the more than 25 Tibetans who have immolated themselves over the past year in protest against China's oppression. These self-immolations are also desperate cries for support from the international community. Americans can help.
The 70 Tibetan youths who gather at a Cambridge, Mass., YMCA every week for Tibetan Sunday School normally would have celebrated last months festival of Losar, the lunar New Year, with joyful singing and circle dances. But this year, the families shared a quiet potluck lunch. The community had made clear there would be no celebration at a time when Tibetan protesters are immolating themselves at home.
In a dramatic contrast to the festivities welcoming the Chinese New Year, Tibetans in Boston and across the globe have refused to celebrate Losar. Indeed, the Tibetan Government in Exile, based in Dharamsala, India, has requested that there be no celebrations this New Year.
Tibetans are in mourning not only for the loss of their homeland and the threat to their culture under the Chinese Communist regime, but for the 25 monks, nuns, and lay people who have set themselves on fire over the past year. Eighteen are known to have died. Others have been taken away by the Chinese authorities. Their whereabouts and well-being are not known.
The self-immolations are desperate cries for help to the international community, as well as individual acts of self-determination within an authoritarian system that allows few freedoms for Tibetans and punishes expressions of Tibet's national identity as "seditious." The men and women who take this terrible course do so with calls for freedom for Tibet and the return of the Dalai Lama as their final words.
The Dalai Lama, the internationally revered spiritual leader and recipient of the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize, has not been able to set foot in his homeland since he fled in 1959, following a period of failed détente with the Chinese occupiers of Tibet.
While one may question the tactic, I understand the severe repression that is driving people to pour kerosene over their bodies and light themselves on fire. I am American by birth, but my husband and our family are Tibetan. Every Sunday, I bring our little boy to the YMCA for Tibetan Sunday School. At five years old, he already understands that he is studying Tibetan language not only for his own benefit, but to help preserve Tibetan culture. This is necessary because Tibetan religion and culture are under attack in Tibet.
Tibetans inside Tibet are punished for piety paid to the Dalai Lama, whom Tibetans revere as their protector deity and an emanation of the Buddha of compassion. So-called "patriotic education," which includes denouncing the Dalai Lama and consuming anti-Tibet propaganda from the Chinese Communist Party, was once concentrated in Tibetan monasteries but is now pervasive in almost every sector of society.
In an ironic twist, the Chinese authorities paid Tibetans to celebrate Tibetan New Year this year; the regime is determined to show the world that Tibetans are free, when the reality is the opposite.
Tibetans do not even have the freedom to leave Tibet; the authorities capture and detain Tibetans who try to escape. In 2006, Western mountaineers watched in horror and captured on video as Chinese border security forces fired on a group of Tibetans, killing a 17-year-old nun who was trying to escape. Those who are not caught also face huge risks.
My husband was carried across steep Himalayan passes when he was seven years old. His mother died across the border in Nepal after giving birth to a baby girl; the baby died shortly afterward. Our close friend's sisters paid smugglers to help three of their children escape. The two older boys made it, but the littlest one just 10 years old died en route. Heartbreaking as these stories are, they are by no means unique.
Last month, the Obama administration rolled out the red carpet for Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping. This may be understandable given US interests in a strong US-China relationship. But this month, with the March 10 anniversary of the 1959 Tibetan uprising and flight of the Dalai Lama, we must remember that Tibetans are giving their lives to protest the desperate conditions in Tibet under Chinese rule.
What can we in the United States do to help?
First, Tibetans need help preserving their language and culture in exile. Many diaspora groups have found ways to pass their language and traditions on to their children; we can share strategies and lend assistance as Tibetans work to do the same.
Second, there is an urgent need for dialogue between Tibetan and Chinese people living in the United States. Tibetans are careful to distinguish between the Chinese government and Chinese people. However, there is a gulf in understanding between the two communities here that must be bridged, and only dialogue can achieve that.
Third, there is a need for US diplomatic initiatives that focus less on pressuring and shaming China into submission and more on helping China recognize that the current situation is not sustainable. Ultimately, the US must help China find a face-saving way to shift policies in Tibet, including serious negotiations with the Tibetan Government in Exile.
Finally, Americans must offer encouragement and hope. However powerful China may be and however desperate the situation in Tibet is global forces are pushing toward democracy.

Even though it uses older building sets and does not look quite as sophisticated as the newer models, its unique assortment of parts, minifigures, and building styles stands out for me. I have it displayed in a prominent location in my own home, and I think it measures up to the likes of the new Hogwarts Castle (2010).

The Algarve region
Vilamoura's land is variable in its vegetation; some parts are covered in pine forests whilst others are open recovered marshland. Vilamoura is a special place, a unique leisure and recreation resort and community where the pace of life is so easy it feels like summer all year round.
Designed from the start to be self-sufficient, Vilamoura is ideally located, offers the commercial structure for day-to-day needs and is bursting with sporting and leisure facilities for the whole family. It is a place for rest and relaxation but also for pursuing active pastimes and sports; a friendly and safe residential haven, but also a vibrant and exciting night-life centre. It is Portuguese, but also truly cosmopolitan. Away from the hectic pace and the stress of the modern world, all who visit are revitalized by the lifestyle, the convenience and the hospitality of this truly special place.
As well as being the largest Marina in Portugal, Vilamoura also boasts the biggest boatyard, with a full complement of marine services to match. Many major boat manufacturers have chosen the Marina to locate their official service centers for Southern Europe and this is reflected in the dry docking capacity of 200 boats. Apart from the wealth of available water sports facilities, amongst the various ports and harbors); there are other alternatives, such as tennis courts, famous golf courses, shooting range, bowls, and an exciting nightlife.
Vilamoura offers two great beaches, one on either side of the Marina. Both are on the flat and are therefore very easily accessible. The busier of the two beaches is Marina Beach to the east of the Marina where you can hire sun beds, parasols, and take advantage of the beach bars. From this golden sandy beach you can paddle in the surf all the way to the neighboring resort of Quarteira, where there is a weekly Gypsy Market every Wednesday. You can barter for bargains in Leather, shoes, clothes and handicrafts. On the western side of the Marina is Falesia Beach where real enthusiasts can stroll all the way along to the beaches of Albufeira.
The climate is one of the healthiest and most pleasant in the world with a likeness to the Californian climate. There is sufficient seasonal variation so as not to make it boring, winters are never to cold and summers never too hot, with skies predominantly blue all year round. The Algarve has managed to retain its "old world" charm and traditional values. An ambitious forward looking nation who are friendly and open, with a good understanding of English. So whether you are looking for a place to relax or prefer to indulge your every active interest, the Algarve offers it all!

Picazzo_101 5pts It is possible that bio-fuels wont play major role but not because of technical issues. Bio-fuels cause a political problem. Too many people in charge would loose money. Think about it this way – people on every continent, independently, hundreds of years ago figured out how to distil alcohol for drinking. That's bio-fuel!! There is no way we cant do better and on larger scale with all the modern technology. I agree with the algae conclusion however since algae get their energy from the sun, the energy consumption is not the key issue. Problem is that you cant grow enough in short period of time. Ethanol is not a terrible idea. Producing ethanol from corn is a terrible idea. Scientifically, it makes no sense – just like your sources would agree. Part of the political reason for this is exactly what you mentioned i.e. it cuts into production of food, and drives the price of corn up, so you can't do that. This makes gas companies are happy, it makes farmers happy, and it gets people re-elected. Corn is one of the worst choices for ethanol. You can get much better results with, for example Miscanthus, a tall grass which can grow in most of US. In addition, bio-fuel doesn't mean ethanol. There are plenty other comparable choices. And also, energy stored per gallon is not the principle problem. It's the cost. If ethanol is has only 75% of energy of gasoline but it's twice as cheep, you've gained overall. It requires energy to process bio material into make bio-fuel. Yes, but there are many considerations here. You can burn the bio-material like Miscanthus grass and the net pollution is very small (CO2 in while growing = CO2 out in a fire). You typically do that in a big factory where you have a lot more control over emissions and efficiency. There are options for bio-fuels available but we're back to the political problem. As soon as our government starts supporting this new industry with incentives, the OPEC cartel will lower the price of crude oil, gas companies will lower prices and the new industry will be dead before its born. I'm not saying bio-fuels are the long term solution. It's an intermediate solution to get ourselves free of fossil fuel addiction just long enough for the battery technology to improve by a factor of 10 or so. The future is electric. Electric motors are lighter, much more efficient, much less moving parts, cheaper to make and more reliable. There is no downside. The future is electric.
mrlh61 5pts Engine will be a Direct injected 4 cylinder 2.0 300 hp or 365 turbo with start stop technology to power the rear wheels and charge batteries, electrical motors will power the front wheels. Most hard acceleration will be done by the electrical motors due to the torque earlier in the power band. 0 to 60 will be in the 4 second range due to weight savings (large cars and vans will average 3200 lbs curb weight due to carbon fiber use) in newer models of cars and much improved traction control.
hehe 5pts ROTO we can tell you have never driven a new diesel car no smell what-so-ever diesel is the way of the future!!! get over it! USA needs to lower our diesel prices so transportation of goods and food cost come down! but thats to easy of a fix, BIG oil guys at DC will loose money!
there is no future 5pts automakers should make more efficient gas engines that gets cars driving more further with less emissions and less stops at the gas pump; they need to make more efficient gas engines; they need to start a small step; they need to make gas engines more efficient and produce less emissions; they need to refine everything people use for driving... what will automakers do with the money they save?
usnidc 5pts mazda already has hydrogen powered rotary engine in production. If we can work out a cheaper way to produce hydrogen, that will be the simplest transition from petrol because performance and orther habits will not change. drive car, fill up car, etc...
zozo 5pts My guess is that gas powered engines will dominate for at least the next 30 years. There are too many competing "replacements"-- and they are all too far away from viability--for there to be a consensus gasoline replacement anytime soon. Many of these ideas will fall by the wayside. Gas still works better than anything else out there, and by a large margin. It wasn't by chance that gas achieved dominance in the 1st place.
yeabuddy223323 5pts i think this is a little crazy but y not nuclear energy it a sinlge atom produce ridiculous amount of energy..n to be realistic i would say a diesel hybrid that i bet would be able to produce 100mpg easy
mackman56 5pts I disagree because it takes more energy to separate the hydrogen from oxygen then hydrogen has the potential to produce, even if our engines were 100% efficient.
mackman56 5pts I think th V-8 will survive as a more efficient replacement for V-10's and V-12's. Then, eventually, it will die.
zyndane 5pts The V-8 will remain indefintely, for performance cars and some HD trucks. If anything, they might shrink in size, have higher compression, forced induction, and better fuel delivery to achieve better CAFE standards. Turbo 4s and 6s will be more commonplace for sure, but I highly doubt Detroit or Germany will kill off the V-8 before making numerous attempts to maximize economy and power. Technology is exactly why they will still be around for years to come.
nibbers 5pts Unfortunately Chris, ethanol and biodiesel won't play as significant of a role as most people think. I just talked to some UT Austin professors, whose research is solely about growing algae to make these alternative energy fuels. Their responses about ethanol and biodiesel being a suitable source was grim at best. They were saying that the process to grow algae to make biofuels is extremely energy intensive. For biodiesel, you run into a few problems to generate the raw materials to convert it into biodiesel. The professors said that it is very difficult to maintain a suitable environment to grow the micro and nanoorganisms that breakdown waste into these "raw materials." This in turn, creates fuel manufacturing issues because one cannot produce a consistent amount of "raw materials" due to climate and season changes. For ethanol, its a total waste they claim. First off, per gallon, ethanol produces at best 75% the amount of energy that gasoline can. Also, ethanol requires tons of federal incentives (tax dollars) to make this fuel viable. Ethanol production requires about 40 gallons of water to produce a few gallons of 100% ethanol, and the production processes require alot of energy to create ethanol. This requires additional processes to separate the two liquids, which requires more energy, and when the fuel is transported, you are still moving around more water than ethanol. The worst part about it, is that using ethanol cuts into our food supplies because the most viable source of ethanol is corn and its stock. This drives up the price of corn for the every day consumer to purchase. Ethanol is a terrible idea.
chris 5pts Hybrid electric and ethanol/biodiesel. Electricity can be produced for as long as the sun shines. Combining it with renewable supplies of liquid hydrocarbons will provide long range capability and reliability when there is no time for a re-charge.
Roto 5pts I have to agree. In the US, gasoline. This may include synthetic gasolines or alcohol/mix. Diesels will never take off for cars in the US due to the high price and the FACT that it still stinks and always will. (Also, low vapor pressure means that the stink stays around for a long, long time unless the engine compartment is kept surgically clean! However, diesel makes great sense for trucks and SUV's because of the tremendous torque advantages.) There will continue to be inroads from hybrids and all electrics, but nothing will replace the gasoline engine in the foreseeable future. Besides, gasoline engines will approach the thermal efficiency of stationary power plants that generate our electricity. I'd love to see some alternative IC engine designs, like compound combustion chambers, etc, but those I believe will remain special use applications. We'll see.
nortenodecorazon 5pts gas, gas, gas. oil based products are so essential and don't have real world competition. and it will stay like that for at least 50 years more. i think more than 70% of world cars will be gas powered by 2060. most likely i won't be here to see that.
Terrence 5pts I will keep my comment short...I feel that V-8 will be out but we will have more powerful engines just in a smaller displacement..due to technology .
Xavier 5pts you are wrong, diesels are worse in particulate emissions and those particulates are very armful to us http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle.ASpx?AR=239862
Bla Bla 5pts Instead of saying the evolution of vehicles you need to state, "The advancement of vehicles or the advencement of todays technology" Get common sense MT.
Queue 5pts "Future engines will be powered by rainbows and gum drops because of the magical hope and change offered by the current Administration!" +1
bilbobaggins 5pts electric motors. Its easier to change the fuel source upstream instead of trying to put "clean" engines in everyone's car and hoping that they actually buy it. Coal and petroleum will remain the number one energy source until battery technology takes a huge leap forward. The batteries we use today are not any different than the batteries first patented in the late 1800s. Without new designs that can store more energy and transfer it in and out of a battery faster, we will be stuck with coal and petroleum. Fuel cells have the problem of needing expensive catalysts to make it work, and the cheapest fuel for them is either natural gas, or hydrogen stripped from natural gas, and you will still need batteries for them to operate a car.
Rob 5pts Future engines will be powered by rainbows and gum drops because of the magical hope and change offered by the current Administration! LOL! Seriously, gasoline and diesel still have a viable future. What I would like to see if some kind of synthetic gasoline. One that has very similar properties to gasoline, but is cleaner and reduces our dependency on oil. That would be nice, but since much of America has a collective hard on for EVs, I'm not sure if that will happen.
mt411 5pts Hydrogen IS NOT A PRIMARY FUEL!!! Hydrogen is an energy carrier. Did you think you can pump hydrogen out of the ground? Nope, not like you can pump oil out of the ground. It takes energy from some other source to separate hydrogen from oxygen, then the hydrogen is compressed and put into the car's tank just like gasoline. The primary energy doesn't come from the hydrogen, it has to come from something else, nuclear fission reactors, solar, coal (hopefully not) or some other primary source of energy. I worked on ways to get hydrogen from future nuclear fusion reactors for several years and that's probably still 30+ years away. We don't have a good solution for how to get the primary energy to make hydrogen or charge EV batteries - solar cannot work until cheap energy storage exists. Solar is already 4 times more expensive than other primary sources and hydrogen will just add costs. If these EVs run on batteries people will need to recharge at night (hint, solar doesn't work at night). Wind is far too unreliable, and wind power kills endangered birds. Coal is an environmental disaster in every single way. In the near future, that leaves nuclear power - but people are now wrapped up in fear - look at Fukushima - a total of one person has died so far, and that was a 60 year old man who had been working there for only two days when he had a heart-attack. Do you know how many people died in coal mining accidents last year in the US alone? About 50. The sad fact is that there is a vocal group of EVangelists (thanks, EVs-are-not-green!) but these are the same phony-green idiots that are working against the only viable method to make the inexpensive and clean electricity that these EVs will need.
dfschim 5pts Tier II Bin 5 is nowhere near as clean as SULEV or PZEV. Diesel is dirty compared to gas, and so is plug in electric so long as we get half our electricity from old dirty coal fired plants. The green solution is a non plug in gas hybrid just like the current Prius.
Mike Win 5pts I keep on telling people if we can harness the methane given off by the millions of milk and meat cows we're raising, we'll never need another gallon of foreign oil.
EVs-are-not-green 5pts EVangelists will tell you electric cars but slow charging times and the very short range give them limited practicality, especially for people (singles) who can only afford one car. They are a one trick pony. Short commutes. And I love the talk about "quick" charging. Since when is a half hour quick? My time is worth more and I have better things to do than stand around some charger for 30 minutes. Take one of those Leafs on the freeway at 70 mph with the heater on and tell me what your range is. 50 miles? EVangelism. Just like their religious counterparts, they try to convert you with doom and gloom (global warming! Catastrophe!), repeat their trite cliches (Save the planet! as if Man could destroy a 4.5 billion year old planet), and control YOUR lifestyle because "THEY" have seen the light! You'll have to take my V-8 from my cold, dead hands. LOL.
George S 5pts They will be powered by electrical engines, the question is from what the electricity will come from/ My guess will be a combination of petrol and chemical batteries and gradually will move towards hydrogen powered battery cars
lukhiggi 5pts i think that hydrogen fuel will work the best, it has no emissions but also we can use our current gas stations, with a few modifications, to sell and distrbute this hydrogen. the technology is also out there thus the honda fcx clarity. but on top of all that the cars are very efficient on this fuel with the fcx getting 70 mpg.
c.bill 5pts I'm saying cars will be powered by an onboard nuclear reactor. If it's small enough to put in a space probe to Mars, it's small enough to put in a car. There will be a uranium pill the size of a pea encased in lead that will heat-up a gas or liquid flowing past it, the gas or liquid will expand and turn a turbine connected to an axle.
iutodd 5pts ICE will dominate for at least 20 more years. The strange thing about electric cars is that America is a society that commutes. St. Louis is an example of people living in the suburbs and working in the city (actually a lot of people live in exurbs and work in the suburbs) so electric cars (as they stand right now) really only make sense if charging stations are available everywhere. (I know the sticker says 70 miles, but since when have stickers told the truth?) And THAT will put a HUGE strain on our electric grid, which isn't good enough as it is. We either need a LOT more micro-wind/on-site solar power for charging stations, or a wholly upgraded grid, not to mention the crazy amounts of infrastructure needed. This country is set up to consume gasoline and it will take a large effort to even get 20% of the cars on the road to be electric. And, yeah, they might work for a large majority of people for commuting, but what about weekend trips or unplanned stops? Right now these cars are selling to people that can afford more than 2 cars I'm betting, simply because they don't make sense as a car you can count on for whatever you might need it for. Fuel cells could be the way if the government backs them - infrastructure problems abound there as well - though not as much as with electricity. Concerning ICE: Automakers are constantly making them cleaner and more efficient and people are showing their willingness to continue to buy trucks,SUVs, minivans, sports cars that aren't very efficient even with gas at 4 dollars a gallon nationally. Hybrid technology will continue to get better, cars lighter...etc. etc. Right now electric cars are simply too expensive to be cost-effective and I think that will continue for at least 5-10 more years. I honestly think the biggest thing we need to do is figure out a better way to transport goods than giant Semis - which use the majority of the daily fuel used in this country unless I'm mistaken. And the V8 will only stop existing when smaller automakers become tired of paying CAFE penalties. The Fords and GMs of the world are going to have a tougher time of it (Ford is already planning for this with it's twin-turbo engines) because it would be super-bad PR for them to have to pay CAFE penalties - regardless of old-timers that will cry and whine about how this is America and sing Denis Leary songs.
Kurt 5pts Electric battery vehicles or electric hybrids will be around as long as us humans are. So with that spoken for my educated guess for what the future holds is high compression or turbo gas engines, then transitioning to some biofuels for environmental marketings benefit, then later on in like 20 years we will have hydrogen fuel cell cars available, from then on automakers will improve these technologies and combine them for different markets. In 50-70 years there will no longer be a substantial number of gasoline/diesel powered vehicles. In 200-1000 years cars will run on antimatter or dark matter if we ever figure out what the fuck it even is.
retrostang 5pts Unfortunately electric cars. So those of us with gas cars hang on to them because they could be worth good money some day. Especially the 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s cars.
92Vectra1.6i 5pts While the long term future may well be a transition to pure electric powertrains, the immediate future is most likely going to be parallel hybrids (like the Prius and Fusion Hybrid) and extended range electrics (like the Chevy Volt and Fiskar Karma). I'd like to think that there will be more turbo diesel options, but the EPA may keep them from our shores.
JohnLuka 5pts Electric cars charged up with solar power. One day all the world's oil will run out, and when this happens this may be the only thing left standing.
Derp Dee Derp 5pts Cars will run on human excrement. The seats will have a loo under the fine leather seating surfaces and you can poo and pee and its fueling your ride.
America 5pts I think cars will become fuel cells as the minenergy scource, with a plug in feature, so a volt, but replace the engine with a fuel cell generater. In the nearer future it will probably a synthetic gasoline hybrid system.
ply474 5pts In the interest of quickly improving our national security, we could use our present refining and distribution infrastructure to power our vehicles with hydrogen as a transition to electricity from fuel cells. Heavy commercial vehicles can use natural gas during the transition. This would allow the use of our current engine technology in the near future, and save the transportation industry, and consumers, a good deal of money, until we're ready to go electric.
Baldum 5pts It can, and does. Electrolysis breaks down water into oxygen and hydrogen gas. Put that hydrogen in a fuel cell and you get a hydrogen car. Water is just way too heavy to fill your car up with.

Catherine the Great, who ruled Russia for 34 years, expanded its territory and helped it prosper, was not Russian by birth or breeding. She began life in 1729 as a very minor German princess named Sophia, but her ambitious mother managed to arrange a marriage to the heir to the Russian throne. At 15, Sophia was taken to St. Petersburg, began studying Russian, converted to Orthodox Christianity without much fuss and was renamed Catherine.
Robert K. Massie's new biography of this remarkable ruler, "Catherine the Great: Portrait of a Woman," is probably the capstone of his career (he is 82, and this book took eight years). Whether writing of Nicholas II and his hemophiliac son or the British-German arms race before World War I, he has always had a talent for writing history as the portraits of recognizable people. As his subtitle suggests, he has done the same for the last ruling Russian empress.
Catherine's husband, Peter, was spectacularly immature. In private he ignored her, preferring to play with toy soldiers on the bedspread. She had been brought to Russia only to produce a child, but when Peter did not cooperate, she was encouraged by the domineering Empress Elizabeth to take a lover. Her son Paul was probably not Peter's child, but was recognized as legitimate.
When Elizabeth died in 1761, Peter duly ascended the throne, but quickly reached new depths of unpopularity. After six months, Catherine, with the aid of the palace guards, easily deposed her husband. One week later in prison, he was semi-accidentally killed.
Technically, Catherine should have served only as regent until her son was of age. But she had worked to make herself popular and was recognized as intelligent and capable. Under her rule, Russia prospered, gobbling up Polish territory to the west and Turkish land to the south.
The empress had 12 documented lovers during her life. That was not unusual for European monarchs of both sexes, but Catherine raised eyebrows by continuing to choose men in their 20s as she aged. Many were nonentities, but one in particular contributed greatly to her success - the general, builder and administrator Gregory Potemkin.
He does not deserve to be remembered for the term "Potemkin village." Massie argues that the cities, farms and engineering that Catherine saw on her tour of conquered areas were genuine. Three sharp-eyed foreign observers traveled with her, he notes, and none reported anything amiss; the stories of cardboard villages were most likely spread by Potemkin's enemies.
Aside from military conquest, Massie stresses Catherine's intellect. She founded the great art collection of St. Petersburg; she discussed the best form of government with Voltaire and other Enlightenment figures. Of course, she believed the ideal was (her own) absolute monarchy, but she tried to improve conditions, liberating 2 million serfs owned by the Orthodox Church. Her vague hopes of abolishing serfdom altogether were decisively shot down by the nobility.
Massie's keen eye for anecdote is perhaps too keen; his smooth narrative sometimes bumps on stories that serve little purpose, while somewhat slighting the social and economic conditions surrounding the empress. But his explanations of Catherine's human feelings - separation from her parents, estrangement from her son, fears of growing old - make his book a valuable addition to the always-fascinating history of Russia.

Who has shipped a TRD catback, or any single piece 05+ catback for that matter?
I bought a used TRD catback and I just don't like the sound below 3K so I will probably sell it. But before I post it for sale I am trying to understand if shipping it is cost prohibitive or a royal PITA. Anyone with any experience here?
Of course I would greatly prefer a local deal, but sometimes it doesn't work out that way.

Two weeks ago I got food poisoning. I got it from a deli sandwich that either had bad mayo or meat on it. This wasn't a little, twenty-four hour case of food poisoning, either. This was a full-blown-week-long-have-to-go-to-the-doctor-because-I'm-dangerously-dehydrated kind of food poisoning. Let me tell you, it wasn't fun. (Although losing eleven pounds in a week was kind of thrilling.) Aside from being miserable it was expensive, what with the doctor's visits, medications, and missed work.
The only way I could have prevented this unpleasantness was to have stuck with my frugality and not eaten out that day. But, since it was a small celebration, I went. Unfortunately

GOAT CHEESE is a centuries old tradition. In many parts of the world, most notably in France, many excellent cheeses are made by the small holder on his own farm. Following the same tradition, we here at Mystique Cheese have been producing fine domestic goat cheese since 1979. Our purebred herd of Nubian dairy goats produces a rich milk of excellent flavor. All our cheeses are hand made in small batches on the farm. Maintaining a relatively small-scale operation is an important factor in insuring the quality and individuality of these award-winning cheeses. Along with traditional French and Greek-style goat cheeses, we have developed our own special varieties. Our cheeses are available from the farm, local stores and farmers markets. We mail order during the Holidays and will have seasonal specials available on the web. For comments or info contact: POBox 254 Waldoboro, ME 04572 (207) 832-5136 firstname.lastname@example.com |

We will be releasing 01 Bullitt Upholstery and Foam in the next few weeks! I'll be sure to keep the forum updated on it's release. thanks,
Rear seat is done and installed - Front Buckets should be done by the end of this week. I'll be sure to post pictures!
Will this upholstery fit the 94-95 seats? Just curious, as it's one of my favorites, and I've wanted to go this route for a long time. I'm still in the saving/dreaming/pricing stage right now, but it would definitely be awesome if it'll fit my 95 when I'm ready to purchase.
For those waiting on pricing check here http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/threads/now-available-01-bullitt-upholstery.854831/
Not a problem. Luckily, the 99-04 seats will bolt right into a 94-98, so I can pick up a beat up set of 99-04 front seats and swap upholstery. The rear seats are the same, right?
Nope - not at all. BUT - we will be able to insert the Bullitt insert pattern into your 94-98 rear seats inserts. And we can do it in the Dark Charcoal - so same color/material and same inserts as the front buckets - is an option for the 94-98 guys. There will be an upcharge for the pattern change, but at least it's an option !

Former junior welterweight champion Andreas Kotelnik (31-4-1, 13KOs), who recently retired, is already planning to return at the end of the year.
Kotelnik, 35-years-old, announced his retirement last month, but now he wants to have a fight before the end of the year. The former champion has been inactive since a close decision loss to Devon Alexander in August 2010.
"I plan to hold a fight this year. Where and when I'm going to fight, I still can not say. There is nothing concrete that I'm able to say about a future opponent," Kotelnik said.

PHOTOGRAPHY AND CINEMA: 50 Years of Chris Marker's La Jetée (UPDATE)full name / name of organization: Centro de Estudos de Comunicação e Linguagens/Instituto de História de Arte/Universidade Nova de Lisboa contact email: firstname.lastname@example.com/ email@example.com PHOTOGRAPHY AND CINEMA: 50 Years of Chris Marker's La Jetée Lisbon, 27 and 28 November Fifty years have passed since Chris Marker's "La Jetée" (1962) release blurred the frontiers between photography and film. This anniversary will be the occasion to promote a two-day forum of debate on photography and film's mutual influence, as well as on the prevailing themes brought about by Chris Marker's work (memory and image, trauma, image and narrative). Theorizing photography and film (ontologies, histories) has been a core issue since digital revolution and scholars have, in recent years, produced a substancial and fascinating criticism on the relation between the two media (e.g. Doane, Raymond Bellour, Rancière, Laura Mulvey, James Elkins gave significant contributions to this debate). .Theorising Chris Marker's "La Jetée" Please submit a 300 words abstract to the adresses given above, as well as a brief bio, by September 30th. Panelists will be informed by October 15th, whether they have been accepted or rejected. If accepted a deadline to make an inscription and pay the conference fee (45 Euros) will be set. The conference is beeing promoted by Centro de Estudos de Comunicação e Linguagens (CECL) and Instituto de História de Arte (IHA) and will be held at Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas.
