MEDELLIN, Colombia (ICIS)--One person has been killed and another five injured following an accident on Tuesday at state-run oil company Pemex's Miguel Hidalgo refinery in the central Mexican city of Tula de Allende.
The accident occurred at around 15.15 local time (21.15 GMT) while workers were carrying out maintenance on the 500-1 unit of the refinery's Hydro Plant I, Pemex said in a statement.
Operations at the 325,000 bbl/day refinery, located some 70 kilometres north of the capital Mexico City, had not been affected, the company said.
The injured were being treated at Pemex's general hospital in Tula, and the nearby Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS), where one worker later died from his injuries.
An investigation into the cause of the accident will be carried out, the company said.
The Mexican energy giant has experienced a number of deadly incidents in recent years. In September 2012, an explosion and fire at a Pemex natural gas facility near the city of Reynosa in northern Mexico killed 30 people.
And in February this year, 37 people lost their lives and at least 120 were injured in a gas leak explosion that tore through Pemex's administrative offices in Mexico City.

Casa de Risa resides in the pulse of Playa Grande National Park… located just one block from the pristine Playa Grande Beach. Playa Grande is known for its world class surf, home of the giant Leather Back Turtle (weighing up to 1,800 lbs and up to 9 ft. long) and its long and wide white sand. The beach stretches approximately 3 miles and yet you will frequent very few people. The ocean is all sand bottom which is perfect for surfing, boogie boarding and swimming. From your beach chair you can soak in 7 miles of stunning ocean and coastline not to mention spectacular sunsets. The tide is extreme and magnificent for walking, running, bike riding and shell collecting. We have enjoyed beautiful walks and bike rides by moon light alone.
About the Owner
We are a family of four that absolutely love beach living. We were fortunate enough to living in the house for 6 months in 2012 and take advantage of all Costa Rica has to offer. Once the kids are off to school, Cheryl and I plan to semi retire in Playa Grande.

From the Owner
"We search up and down the pacific coastline in Costa Rica before deciding to purchase in Playa Grande. The pristine 2 mile long beach with it sandy bottom and lack of riptides allowed us to feel safe about the kids playing in the water. This is something that cannot be underestimated when living/surfing on a beach with children. Being able to take a 45 minute bike ride on the beach inside a National Park that is home to the leatherback turtles has been icing on the cake!"

Bowing to the demand of the Opposition parties who charged the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government with trying to disturb the federal structure and encroach upon the powers of the State governments, the Lokpal and the Lokayuktas Bill, 2011 was amended in the Lok Sabha to allow the States to have their say in notifying the Lokayuktas.
Yet another amendment relates to applicability of the provisions of the anti-graft legislation to a State which has given its prior consent.
The government agreed to bring in as many as 16 amendments, some of them technical and minor in nature, in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday as the House intensely debated and passed the historic Lokpal Bill which seeks to establish a national ombudsman to curb corruption in the country. In all a dozen members had given notices to move 88 amendments, including those brought in by Minister of State for Personnel and Public Grievances V. Narayanasamy.
Notice for most number of amendments, as many as 20, was given by the CPI(M) leader Basudev Acharia. CPI leader Gurudas Dasgupta who had given notice for four amendments did not press for them as those relating to the Lokayuktas were adopted by the government. Similarly, RJD leader Lalu Prasad who had given notice for an amendment to keep the officers of the armed forces out of the purview of the Lokpal also did not press for it as the government had incorporated it.
Under an amendment adopted by the Lok Sabha to the Lokpal Bill, the consent of States will be necessary before setting up of the Lokayuktas. This was one of the key amendments moved by the government in the wake of protests by the Opposition parties and the Congress allies in the UPA which were of the view that the powers of the States were being encroached upon by the original provision.
Inclusion of PM
On the jurisdiction of the Lokpal to include the Prime Minister under its ambit, another amendment changed the requirement of three-fourth of the members of the Lokpal to agree to such an inquiry against the Prime Minister to two-thirds.
Among other amendments adopted by the Lok Sabha was the exemption given to the Army, the Air Force, the Navy and the Coast Guard from the Lokpal.
An important amendment was to do away with Section 24 of the Bill which required presiding officers of legislatures to report to the Lokpal the Action Taken Reports compiled against their members. The provision was deleted through an amendment brought in by the government.

Pune: It is believed that the lessons learnt at an early age stay on for a lifetime. Hoping to use the medium of art to get children understand the message of equal rights and dignity for people with disabilities, Pune-based EKansh has developed a first of its kind colouring pages project, which will now be introduced in 300 municipal schools. The colouring pages meant for kids of 3rd and 4th standard will sensitise them about how to co-exist with people with disabilities in a manner that both assists and respects the latter. The NGO says even private schools have started taking interest and they train teachers on how to use the pages effectively to subtly deliver message of Celebrating Differences.
"As far as we know, this kind of project is being attempted for the first time in India. Through the medium of colouring pages, we are delivering simple messages that we hope will encourage empathy and awareness in children towards the differently abled," said founder and managing trustee, Anita Iyer Narayan.
The colouring pages project was developed in September 2013 and has since then been taken up by a few private schools in the city. However Narayan is excited that over a lakh students in PMC schools will now be getting access to this unique project.
"We would be training the teachers who would in turn be conducting these exercises with children. These colouring pages are not just a fun activity, they are life lessons that we hope to teach our kids. Like some pages show how a differently abled child can play catch with his friends or how to make festivals more special by celebration with physically challenged family or friends. Some sheets are on simple sign language for communication while some sheets are simply on various aids for physically challenged persons so kids are aware of their use," she added.
Shivaji Daundkar, education officer of PMC, said that it is important to sensitise students at a young age itself and what better channel than medium of art to do the job.
"Messages that are given through medium of art and fun-based activity can stay on for a longer time. We saw the project and gave them permission to conduct training of teachers in our schools, post which the colouring pages would be printed and distributed to schools," said Daundkar.

The City of Pearls has adorned itself with colourful spectacles of diverse foreign cultures. European folk dances had enchanted the audience at one end of the city, while miles away, another witnessed the celebration of African culture with a Congolese treat of song and dance, on Friday.
Hyderabad's foreign students, from different countries in Africa and West Asia, gathered in Yapral for the first 'Crazy Friday' get-together that would have one African country present its native performing arts each month, Congo being the first.
The multiplicity of languages in Congo was illustrated by folk-drum beat songs, linguistically merged with Lingala, Swahili and French. A slow rumba-like dance form called Ndombolo warranted flexible steps from dancers, setting a plethora of competitive performances that gripped the evening's fervour in popular demand.
A feast for the eyes was not all. Nyama choma, a Kenyan meat delicacy, was being grilled out for the guests to get a taste of the traditional African cuisine.
"Though the dance forms are African folk, it is hard to miss that they have turned modern today. We need proper costumes and choreographers to restore traditionalism. It will take a few more months, but we will get there," said John Seddah, the event manager from Kenya.
Seddah aims to bring both Indians and Africans to perform together in something he would call 'The Afro-Indian Love of Culture'.
Didier Ngwangwa, a dancer-member of the Congolese Community in Hyderabad, reflected the eagerness of his community to learn something new from Indian classical dance forms.

It takes plenty of natural talent, confidence and sheer hard work to perform when thrust into the spotlight to host an event, as veteran Singaporean emcee Sharlyn Lim can probably tell you.
ŌĆ£First of all, we begin on a stage that separates us from the audience. YouŌĆÖve to know your script, reach out and connect with the audience while being mindful of certain taboo issues. The same method of ŌĆśrah-rahingŌĆÖ the crowd may not even work with every audience you get,ŌĆØ she says, flashing a knowing look.
Yet here stands a beautiful young lady who has hosted hundreds of events both in Singapore and abroad; across three continents. These range from keynotes and seminars of IT giant IBM and international bank OCBC, to high fashion events for designer label Marc Jacobs and skincare label Bioessence and even stage events at shopping malls or Family Days.
She has even shared the stage with international celebrities like Taiwanese pop group S.H.E, Investment Guru Jim Rogers and certain Hongkong TVB stars.
So how does Sharlyn Lim do it?

From the Publisher
"This book is a very good and (for the most part) non-technical discussion of the general issues surrounding pensions. The list of contributors reads like a who's who of pension experts. Schiebert's chapter does a wonderful job of providing insight into the historical context of pensions. The two chapters on comprehensive penions reform allow sharply differing viewpoints to be stated clearly, and they highlight the complexity of the issues." —Thomas Steinmeier, Texas Tech University, Journal of Pension Economics & Finance

One of the best things about ESPN.com is the NBA Trade Machine which lets you fiddle around with every possible trade scenario imaginable to see if it would or would not work.
Of course, this can lead to some pretty far-fetched moves:

Who says no? RT @William_McLeod: @talkhoops My Beautiful Dark Twisted NBA Trade Machine Fantasy pic.twitter.com/6VJulkOBNw
But it can also lead to some pretty interesting scenarios. Take Zach Harper's post on TrueHoop for example. He figured out realistic scenarios for the other 29 teams in the Association to land disgruntled Minnesota big man Kevin Love.
Here is what Harper put together for the Sixers.
The deal: Trade Machine 76ers receive: Kevin Love and Kevin Martin Wolves receive: Thaddeus Young, Jason Richardson, Nos. 3 and 10 picks in 2014 The Wolves get a young asset, cap relief and two lottery picks in this draft in exchange for Love and getting rid of Martin's deal. It sounds like the Sixers are giving up a lot here, but they have assets to spare. You're teaming Love with a defensive-minded center in Nerlens Noel and a pass-first point guard in Michael Carter-Williams. Plus, the Sixers still have room to add another major player.
So, would you do it?

"Our goal has always been to support manufacturers, banks and other financial institution partners in mitigating risk, sustaining profitability and having the broadest understanding of the vehicle marketplace as possible," said Eric Ibara, director of residual value consulting at Kelley Blue Book. "Our advanced modeling capabilities allow us to develop a forecast that incorporates the quantifiable elements and minimizes the subjectivity of the model, providing a broad view incorporating the effects of industry volatility as well as economic forces."

Hospitably, Kristophe invites us to look around his wooden shack, and we marvel at the simplicity of his lifestyle and the museum-like quality of his houselet. By way of entertainment, Kristophe strikes up an old, hand-wound gramophone that provides a somewhat scratchy but atmospheric soundtrack. It's like being in an old movie.
A horror movie.
Standing reverently looking at a selection of hunting bows and wood axes hung about the walls, all obviously well used, Justin turns to me with the kind of look that always makes me flinch slightly and says, in a conspiratorial whisper, "I wonder what he feeds the dogs on?" The gramophone scratchily strains, slowing as the spring winds down.

Recipe: Brown Butter Apple Loaf
Breakfast Recipes from The Kitchn
Somewhere deep in my imagination, visions of a dreamy spiced apple cake have long swirled in my head. This yet-to-be loaf would be perfectly at home on a crisp Sunday morning, enjoyed with a hot cup of tea and a good book in hand. And yet it would be made for giving, the ultimate thank you for a kind gesture shown by a dear friend. It would be a recipe worth saving, and a recipe worth sharing. And after much testing and tasting, I can confirm: yes, this loaf is all that and more.
I Only Know How to Make One Cake. And That's Just Fine.
Happy birthday to me! Now that we have that out of the way, let's talk about my cake. (Sure, we're technically still talking about my birthday, but cake is universal.) I don't really care about sweets. I'm indifferent to chocolate, and I would just as soon have my caramel salted. Perhaps because of this, I'm a terrible baker. My skills are limited to drop or bar cookies, maybe brownies in an emergency. But everyone should be able to make one cake, and I've learned to make my grandmother's coconut cake, a personal favorite that can't be ruined.
Cocktail Party Tip: Serve Cake Bites on Washi-Tape Toothpicks!
Gatherings from The Kitchn
If you're wondering what kind of dessert to serve at a cocktail party (or really, any party!) let me offer this suggestion: cake bites! This is a fun little way to serve cake without fussing with plates, forks, or even cupcake wrappers, and their poppable nature makes them tailor-made for a cocktail party.
Recipe: Sticky Toffee Pudding Sundaes
Recipes from The Kitchn
If you'd told me ten years ago that sticky toffee pudding was made with dates of all things, I would have told you I didn't like sticky toffee pudding, take it away. It took a few more years to figure out that toffee pudding doesn't actually taste like dates and even if it did, that dates are, in fact, quite amazing. Thank goodness my eyes (and stomach) saw the light: now the over-the-top English dessert remains at the top of my hedonistic hall of fame.
My Father's Make-Ahead Holiday Gift: Cheesecake, New York-Style
One of the greatest holiday traditions at my parents' house is the making of a half dozen cheesecakes. Guided by a top-secret recipe — from an original 1980 issue of The Kansas City Star that lists a recipe for New York Cheesecake, along with years of handwritten notes and variations — my father spends a full day in the kitchen pressing graham cracker crusts into springform pans, whipping up rich cream cheese filling, and fretting over water baths.
The result: one of the most decadent holiday treats and a beautiful gift for family members.
Holiday Recipe: Cranberry Cake
Recipes from The Kitchn
While I can't claim credit for this recipe (I got it from a friend, who got it from another friend, and so it goes...,), it is known in these parts as "your cranberry cake." As my mother asked last week, "Are you bringing your cranberry cake to Thanksgiving?" And my sister said, "You better save some of your cranberry cake for me."
But it's not proprietary information. My cranberry cake can be your cranberry cake too.

How Can I Make a Fantastic Strawberry Cake in Mid-November?
Good Questions
Q: My soon-to-be 3-year-old has requested a strawberry cake for his birthday. Strawberries are by far his favorite fruit. I questioned him about the cake, and he insists that this is a pink cake with white frosting and strawberries on top. I can do the cake pretty easily, but the November berries are really lacking in flavor and awesomeness. Any ideas?!

The money the Government stands to gain from the auction of the 4G mobile spectrum represents that extremely rare and happy event in public finances: a genuine windfall. It should be treated as such. It should not be ploughed back to vanish in the Treasury's vaults; it should not be seized by the Chancellor to plug gaps elsewhere. It should be set aside to support programmes in a conceptually related area that might not otherwise attract funding.
Leading scientists, including Professor Brian Cox and the Astronomer Royal, Lord Rees, have launched the 4Growth campaign. They want the money to fund scientific research into new technologies, with a portion of the estimated £4bn proceeds spent on a 10-year expansion of investment in scientific education, and another sum earmarked to help bridge the persistent gulf between research and commercial application. They are thinking along exactly the right lines. The Government should listen.

Portal:Global warming
Global warming
Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and the oceans since the mid-twentieth century and its projected continuation. Global surface temperature increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) during the 100 years ending in 2005. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes that anthropogenic (human-sourced) greenhouse gases are responsible for most of the observed temperature increase since the middle of the twentieth century, and natural phenomena such as solar variation and volcanoes probably had a small warming effect from pre-industrial times to 1950 and a small cooling effect from 1950 onward. These basic conclusions have been endorsed by more than 40 scientific societies and academies of science, including all of the national academies of science of the major industrialized countries.
Climate model projections summarized in the latest IPCC report indicate that global surface temperature will probably rise a further 1.1 to 6.4 °C (2.0 to 11.5 °F) during the twenty-first century. The uncertainty in this estimate arises from the use of models with differing climate sensitivity, and the use of differing estimates of future greenhouse gas emissions. Some other uncertainties include how warming and related changes will vary from region to region around the globe. Although most studies focus on the period up to 2100, warming is expected to continue beyond 2100, even if emissions have stopped, because of the large heat capacity of the oceans and the lifespan of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
• Pictured left: 1999-2008 Mean temperatures: This figure shows the difference in instrumentally determined surface temperatures between the period January 1999 through December 2008 and "normal" temperatures at the same locations, defined to be the average over the interval January 1940 to December 1980. The average increase on this graph is 0.48 °C, and the widespread temperature increases are considered to be an aspect of global warming. Source: NASA

The effective rate of change in glacier thickness, also known as the glaciological mass balance, is a measure of the average change in a glacier's thickness after correcting for changes in density associated with the compaction of snow and conversion to ice. The map shows the average annual rate of thinning since 1970 for the 173 glaciers that have been measured at least 5 times between 1970 and 2004. Larger changes are plotted as larger circles and towards the back.
All survey regions except Scandinavia show a net thinning. This widespread glacier retreat is generally regarded as a sign of global warming.
During this period, 83% of surveyed glaciers showed thinning with an average loss across all glaciers of 0.31 m/yr. The most rapidly growing glacier in the sample is Engabreen glacier in Norway with a thickening of 0.64 m/yr. The most rapidly shrinking was Ivory glacier in New Zealand which was thinning at 2.4 m/yr. Ivory glacier had totally disintegrated by circa 1988. [1]

You'd do well with a Husky. How many gallons does it hold? The fuel thing can get a little tricky. Firstly you really want to arrange to have a credit or cash card with an embedded chip. The usual USA cards don't work. It's no fun waiting around for someone to show up so you can give them some cash in exchange for using their card. I learned you have to study the road book to see where the gas stops are ahead of time because sometimes the "official" gas stops are just too far apart. I made the mistake of thinking "oh well, I'm sure they'll be gas inside 100 km". Wrong. There might be but not on any of the tiny back roads we're on! It all just takes a little planning, but the Husky would work fine. The longest day is 550 km. or 340 mi. Also, Michelin tires this year, not Metzler

Panda Cloud Antivirus Version 2.2 Launches with Greater Protection Capabilities and a User Community Area
Updated version includes features most frequently requested by Panda Cloud Antivirus user community, as well as a special area for the most advanced users. Community Labs area delivers new, free tools to the user community
ORLANDO, FL (PRWEB) June 17, 2013
Panda Security, The Cloud Security Company, has announced the release of version 2.2 of Panda Cloud Antivirus, the first cloud-based antivirus, which now offers new features to deliver the most advanced data protection. Existing users of Panda Cloud Antivirus will enjoy all the new functions of the software through automatic updates for those with version 2.1.1 and earlier editions.
Version 2.2 draws on the experience of the community of Internet users from previous versions of the solution, and includes new features designed to protect personal data. Similarly, Panda Cloud Antivirus 2.2 includes "Community Labs," a new area specifically established for more advanced users to access new features of the program for free during the pilot phase.
New Features in Panda Cloud Antivirus 2.2
New features included in the Community Labs area are strongly-focused on the security of users' personal data, as well as safer browsing for children and disinfection capabilities of computers with Panda Cloud Cleaner technology.
- Data Shield: Enables Panda Cloud Antivirus to prevent malware from accessing users´ personal data. Should any new malware overcome all layers of protection and infiltrate a user´s computer, this new version will prevent the theft or encryption of personal data.
- Parental Control: Keeps kids safe from inappropriate Web content. This feature lets users block access to a range of Web content, classified into 59 different categories. Parents can also get a quick view of children´s activity through a dashboard with filters by date, website or category.
- Rescue Boot: A highly useful tool in the event of emergencies caused by malware infections that block computers. This boots the system from a USB or rescue option on the computer and removes any virus that blocks it using Panda Cloud Cleaner technology.
Optimized Protection
Panda Cloud Antivirus 2.2 also includes a series of improvements that will increase its detection capabilities, while meeting the needs of Internet users. This version includes two features widely requested by the community of users: Access control and safe mode scanning and installation. Access Control means that Panda Cloud Antivirus can be password-protected against unauthorized access. And Panda Cloud Antivirus 2.2 can now be installed in Safe Mode, scanning the computer for all types of malware.
Alberto Añón, Product Manager for Panda Cloud Antivirus at Panda Security, explains: "This version is focused on our Community, more than any other version before it. Thanks to their collective input, we have been able to include these continuous innovations in Panda Cloud Antivirus, and have launched a new area integrated in the product designed especially for this user community. We have also improved our behavioral and anti-exploit technologies and expanded our capabilities to detect potentially unwanted programs."
"We will continue to listen to our user community to ensure we improve Panda Cloud Antivirus. This continuous feedback helps guarantee maximum security with a minimal impact on performance. Panda Cloud Antivirus still stands out as being one of the lightest solutions on the market, and we will strive to ensure that remains the case," concludes Añón.

When the Rangers re-signed Mats Zuccarello the other day, the attention rightfully shifted to Derek Stepan. Many went to Capgeek and saw that the Rangers had a shade over $2 million of cap space, and began to instantly panic. After all, if Stepan's market value is the $3.75 million that Claude Giroux received in his bridge deal (that value will be used as Stepan's cap hit for the sake of this post), then the Rangers don't have enough room. However, the data on Capgeek is a tad misleading.
Capgeek currently lists everyone signed to a one-way deal. Per the summer cap rules, any player that does not have a separate –and lower– AHL salary, thus the definition of a two-way deal, must count against the summer salary cap. This is why players like Aaron Johnson are currently listed on the roster. There are some nuances that I don't quite understand — For example, why Chris Kreider counts, but JT Miller doesn't. I seriously don't understand that, so any answer would be helpful– but this is also the reason why each team can spend 10% over the cap ceiling each summer. For the Rangers, this means they can spend $70 million this summer, giving them ample space to sign Stepan.
Teams need to be under the $64.3 million cap ceiling come the start of the season. At that point, the Rangers will be down to 13 forwards and 7 defensemen, as opposed to the 15 forwards and 8 defensemen currently listed. Johnson will be sent to the AHL, clearing $600k from the cap. With Stepan's $3.75m added and Johnson's $600k removed, the Rangers have 14 forwards and 7 defensemen, and stand $1 million over the cap.
Darroll Powe is likely to be demoted as well, but since his one-way contract has a salary over $925k, the remainder ($141,666) counts against the cap. That leaves the Rangers a shade over $44k over the salary cap. Since Arron Asham was waived earlier in the offseason, it's likely that he will be demoted as well, clearing another $925k from the cap (his contract follows the same rules as Powe's, so $75k will count against the cap). Now the Rangers sit with $880k in cap space. However, this does not take into account the injuries to Ryan Callahan and Carl Hagelin.
This is where things get a bit tricky. LTIR rules state that a player must be on LTIR for ten games and three weeks to qualify for LTIR cap savings. If neither player is ready to go for the start of the season, then the Rangers will need two extra forwards at the start of the season. For simplicity purposes, let's use Asham and Powe as the replacements, and round down Powe's salary to $1 million ($66k less).
Since cap space is calculated on a daily basis, the cap savings would be equal to the percentage of days on LTIR. For example, if they are on LTIR for exactly 41 games, then the Rangers have an LTIR savings of 50% of their salaries. The ten-game qualifier takes the Rangers through their nine-game road trip and the home opener, then the club would save roughly 12% of their salary from the cap (if they come back after that tenth game). If both can't go for the home opener, then the Rangers save 12% of their salaries, which is $270k for Hagelin and $513k for Callahan. Total savings of $783k.
Asham and Powe would only account for 12% of their $1 million salaries each, which is $120k each ($240k total). Since Asham and Powe, at the ten game mark, would only account for $240k in cap space, then only one of Hagelin/Callahan would have to be placed on LTIR, since the savings for one is greater than the cost for the soon-to-be-waived duo. The math is a bit of a pain to do, but the Rangers are going to be ok heading into the season.

Vista support ending, W7 "not that far" behind and a W8 question.
« previous 1 2 3 next »

Posted January 3, 2012 at 7:28PM
I see that Vista "mainstream" support is ending this April.
What actually is "mainstream" support ? as "extended" support is also mentioned.
W7 follows in only 3 years and yet W7 is (naturally) still being pushed hard.
When W8 is getting near for general release do you think PC manufacturers will offer the option of a "free W7 to W8 upgrade disc" as has happened before ?
And I also wonder if you will be able to clean install from that as you have been able to in the past with W7 and Vista. Having witnessed just how good "clean installing" can be compared to an upgrade route or a PC burdoned with "bloatware" that would perhaps be an ideal time to consider a new PC/Laptop.

Updates are provided during extended support Ms Policy therefore udner current plans extended support for those with Vista SP2 ends in 2017 and there will be updates until then.

Posted January 5, 2012 at 5:16PM
During the Extended Support phase Microsoft only provide security updates (patches), they will not provide new feature updates, or fix any bugs that are not considered security risks.
So Microsoft will continue to issue security updates for Vista users with Service Pack 2 until 2017.
Companies can purchase full Mainstream support from Microsoft during the Extended Support phase - so Muergo's comment about Corporations like Walmart forcing Microsoft's hand with demands for further support is misplaced, as they'd be paying for that support anyway.
You may be interested to know that the UK navy is still installing Windows 2000 on the command systems of new and refitted warships. They're using this OS as it's pretty much impregnable when fully patched and locked down.

Thanks for the reply, and interesting on the Navy using W2000
I find the Microsoft product lifecycles as clear as mud tbh.
I did find this (if the link works) which confirms what you and others say in that security updates will be received until 2017.
Hover over "support lifecycle policy" at left and there is a graphic picture showing what it means (and its the first easy to assimilate text from MS I have seen on this).
Thanks to all that replied and said as such... it just took me a long time to convince myself and find something that was easy to understand on this.

Consumer versions of Vista (Basic,Home Premium and Ultimate) do not receive extended support
See Ed Botts article
Also here
*"What does "end of support" mean for a product (e.g. Windows 2000)? Somewhat unsurprisingly, end of support for a product means that we will no longer provide support after this date. For Consumer products, end of support is at the end of the Mainstream Support phase. For Business and Developer products, end of support is the end of the Extended Support phase. After these dates, no further support will be provided for the product. This means that customers will not have access to: security updates or non-security hotfixes Free or paid assisted support options The option to engage Microsoft's product development resources updates to online content (KB articles, etc.)" "Will Microsoft provide security updates for products after the end of support?
I know I'm sounding like a broken record here, but the answer is no. Once a product or service pack has reached the end of support, Microsoft no longer provides any new security updates. Customers are encouraged to upgrade to a supported product or service pack to ensure they are able to receive continued support and security updates."
Microsoft's statements regarding "end of support" as stated in various locations on their web site are confusing at best, and seemingly contradictory at worst. However, the Microsoft TechNet blog statements quoted above are crystal clear.*
It's actually been confirmed to Computer Active that support ends on April 10

Woolwell I have researched this in depth.
If you click on
"What is the difference between mainstream support and extended support?" in your own link it says
"Please note: Extended support is only available for commercial customers"
After I raised the issue CA contacted MS and it has been confirmed.
As I said in my previous post

I asked over on the MS forums about this and was directed to this,
which I am told means that security updates for Vista SP2 will continue via the normal Windows Update channel.
It should not be this difficult to find these basic things out.
And thanks to all who continue to look into this :)

30 August 1958
Saint-Quentin, Aisne, France

Benoît Delépine (born 30 August 1958) is a French comedian and film director. He is known for his satirical activities on TV channel Canal+.
Director of the TV program Guignols de l'info for many years, he currently writes TV programs about the fictional country of Groland. He also plays the cynical journalist-reporter Mickael Kael.
In the cinema, Delépine has written and performed in two films. Mickael Kael contre la World News Company, a chess commercial, reprising two elements of the fictional career of the director: his role as a reporter for Groland and the World Company, which he contributed to create for Les Guignols.
In 2004, Aaltra, which he wrote, directed, and starred in with Gustave Kervern enjoyed critical success. The two companions from the Groland adventure wrote and directed it as a road movie where two enemies travel the roads of northern France and Finland following an accident. Also with Gustave Kervern, he has directed and starred in Avida, which was awarded screened out of competition at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival.[1] His 2010 film Mammuth was nominated for the Golden Bear at the 60th Berlin International Film Festival.[2]
His 2012 film Le grand soir competed in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival[3][4] where it won the Special Jury Prize.[5]

It saddens me to see a lack of awareness of addiction while interacting with people from different walks of life. Just the other day, I came across a woman whose husband is a chronic alcoholic and was surprised at how she had been dealing with the situation. First, she took him to a "Baba" who asked her to perform certain rites and rituals and when that did not work, she went on to try out Ayurvedic medicines.
When this too was not working, she found a doctor, who put the man on certain drugs which were meant to take care of his craving and also stabilising his mood. This too did not really help. What happened was the man started enjoying the so-called "euphoric high" the anti-depressants caused and soon began to abuse them.
Very few people are aware of addiction being a 'chronic disease' that ravages not only the body but even the soul. According to the World Health Organization and the American Medical Association, it affects a person in three dimensional ways: physical craving, mingled with obsessive thought, resulting in spiritual bankruptcy. It has everything to do with how the addicts THINK and how they perceive life to be. Obviously, their thinking is convoluted and irrational.
Alcoholics who begin with one drink will not be able to stop with just two drinks and would then go on to drink more and more until they start behaving obnoxiously or just simply pass out.
This pattern continues until their existence becomes completely unmanageable in terms of their personal, professional and social life. Ultimately, either they are forced to seek help or their family members and friends strongly urge them to.
And even then the alcoholic will not want to acknowledge that he or she has a problem. This is because the most predominant characteristic of the disease of addiction is DENIAL.
And then begin the excuses leading to a "blame game". "My wife does not understand me, or, my boss and friends do not understand me," and, finally, he or she will blame God for giving him/her a raw deal in life when he/she runs are out of excuses.
Unfortunately, the younger generation is also unaware of the perils of addiction — when the pleasure turns into a habit and the habit into addiction. Here we are also talking about behavioural addiction like the Internet, porn, gambling, eating and sex.
Does any of this sound familiar? Now, the good news is that THERE IS A CURE! Addicts need to undergo a complete change in their thinking. This metamorphosis can take place when they are made aware of their problem. Therefore, helping them acknowledge their addiction with the support of a professional and compassionate team. There is also support like Alcoholic Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous where addicts meet others who have managed to come out of their addiction and are leading normal lives.
Once they have undergone initial treatment for their withdrawal, also known as detoxification, from alcohol or drugs, they could try out these support groups. There are Rehabilitation Centres if addicts are not comfortable attending meetings where they are taught how to once again lead normal productive lives following a structured programme. It is rather unfortunate that our society attaches a stigma to all kinds of addictions which, in turn, discourages addicts, making it difficult for them to accept the fact that they have a problem.
I implore all those people out there who lack an understanding of addiction not to deal with the situation on their own as it does not always work that way. The families end up being "enablers" by suppressing and not addressing the issue, inadvertently, encouraging addiction. And therein lies the problem. Help may be closer than you think when you reach out in the right direction.

Only last month, the 7th Circuit ruled that alleged violations of the Clean Air Act's PSD requirements are not ongoing. On Wednesday, in United States v. EME Homer Generation, the 3rd Circuit agreed. Like the 7th Circuit, the 3rd Circuit did not really even view the question as difficult, finding the statute unambiguous and never reaching the second step of traditional Chevron analysis.
In short, the statute simply provides that:
[n]o major emitting facility . . . may be constructed [or modified] . . . unless" it meets various PSD requirements.…
Because this language does not say "constructed, modified, or operated,…" the inquiry is over. Indeed, as the Court noted, the statute is replete with indications that the PSD provisions only address preconstruction review, and not operations. Moreover, other parts of the statute do address operations, so that the Court was able to conclude that the omission of any reference to "operation" in the PSD requirements was intentional. Case closed. The current owners of the facility could not be in violation of a requirement that never applied to them.
The Court also affirmed dismissal of the claims against the former owners. As the Court pointed out:
with time travel yet to be discovered, it is impossible to "restrain" a violation that occurred twenty years ago. Likewise, courts cannot "require compliance" from defendants who are not currently violating the Clean Air Act and who cannot violate the Act in the future because they no longer own or operate the source.
One last note – EPA used a lot of briefing space arguing that the canon that remedial statutes should be broadly construed requires deference to EPA's interpretation. The 3rd Circuit in turn spent a lot of time discussing canons of interpretation and rejected EPA's view. I find this notable, if only because those of us who have been in the business for a while are all too familiar with EPA (and parallel state agencies) taking EPA's position here. The argument basically boils down to "We're the government and we're the good guys, so we should win." The agencies actually had a lot of success with this argument over the years. It's time to consign it to the ash heap of history.
As I noted after the 7th Circuit decision, the plain reading interpretation adopted by the 7th and 3rd Circuits is precisely the kind of statutory interpretation that this Supreme Court seems to favor. Now, I'll go farther. Even if DOJ were to seek Supreme Court review, it's not obvious that they'd get it. There is no circuit split and the issue seems to be a plain vanilla piece of statutory construction. There may be a lot at stake for EPA, but I don't think that the Supreme Court would say that there is anything with which it must grapple.
EPA's enforcement initiative – for old cases – may have just ended with a whimper.

Kevin Smith and Ralph Garman take a twisted look at showbiz news and bite the Hollywood hand that feeds them. Sometimes, they feel bad and give Hollywood a tetanus shot and some Neosporin, but, even then, they usually just turn around and bite Hollywood's other hand. They can't help it. It's their nature. It's like that "scorpion and frog" story. But, deep down, they're just two nice East Coast boys... who happen to have a heavy dependence on drugs and alcohol, respectively.

I fell in love with the Irish theatre scene, both present and past, after spending a summer studying abroad in Dublin. Since then, to fuel my need to hear the rhythms and spirit of that place that I often miss, I have always kept an eye out for the latest pieces of theatre from Ireland that travel to New York City.
A third generation New Yorker, Lower East Side gallerist Sasha Wolf has curated an exhibit of photographs loosely illustrating Romeo and Juliet. She says she is direct, honest and straight-forward, but never cynical, and has an innocent belief in true love. These qualities mark the work she has chosen.

I'm not sure if the past reigning crop of top actors, Paul Newman, De Niro, Dustin Hoffman, Gene Hackman, Pacino, Streep et all, were Stravinsky or Lee Strasberg or somone else but they came from the "method" school of acting. Meaning they "inhabited" the character and were always searching for the "motivation" in their character to slip under his/her skin.
One classic line during Marathon Man with Dustin Hoffman and Sir Laurence Olivier was that Hoffman was ruining take after take trying to get his "motivation" and Olivier walked up to him and dryly stated "try acting, dear boy".

Tulsa City Bus Involved in Collision
A collision between a Tulsa Transit Bus and a pickup this morning injures four people, including the bus driver.
Police Officer J.D. Curran says none of the injuries are believed to be serious. He says the pickup driver, headed northbound on Utica, apparently ran a red light at the Third Street intersection and crashed into the bus. Traffic at the intersection was re-routed for a time until the wreckage could be cleared.

We finally trained the pups to stay in the backyard even when the gate is open.
The book says such training is accomplished by making your pet believe that any time he does anything you disapprove of he will be caught. In effect, we humans should seem to be everywhere all the time.
Even with a family totaling 10 this isn't easy, but we made it one Sunday morning. We put the pups in the yard and went on the paper route without noticing the gate was open.
When we returned an hour later we saw Abe and Dink about a half a block from home. I stopped the car and both boys jumped out brandishing papers and scolding the pups.
By the time the pups flew into the front yard I was out of the car waiting for them. They dashed into the backyard with such speed that none of us got close enough to even lay a paper on them.
Since then they have stayed in the house or in the backyard, and nothing could tempt them to explore further.
Great? Well, not completely.
Occasionally we have to take them out, like to the vet for their shots. Those first visits were relatively simple. They were small enough to carry easily, and we cornered them in the house.
Last week it was rabies shot time. Abe and Dink were in the yard. We planned to call them into the house, corner them, and then carry them out to the car.
The little kids were so thrilled about the dogs taking a ride that they ran out to tell them about it. The dogs apparently weren't so thrilled.
Impossible as it may seem, those six-months-old animals must already associate the Vet with shots because when the kids said "to the Vet's" both dogs left vapor trails as they shot under the shed on the back lot.
We spent thirty minutes trying to get them out. They ignored the coaxing of the kids. They shook a bit but refused to respond to Bill's voice of authority. They wouldn't even come out for the meat scraps I offered them.
Bill decided that action would be more effective than words. He turned the hose on them. That did it. Fortunately the back door was open. They ran through it without even looking.
Once they were in the house cornering them was no problem. Carrying them was something else. Boy have they grown. They now weigh about 50 pounds each.,
While we drove to the vet's, both of our brave watch dogs sat in the car and shook. They didn't even yelp when they got their shot. They just sat there in their puddles.
On our way home we decided the dogs wouldn't be so afraid if they could ride somewhere other than to the vet's. So we took them to visit their "grandparents." (The parents of the couple who own the collie that is our dog's mother). The dogs recovered their watch dog tendencies and barked at the people.
By the time we stopped at the grocery both Abe and Dink looked so menacing that the boy wouldn't load the groceries in the car.
But, when we returned home, both pups looked at the front yard and refused to get out of the car. Because they loved to ride? I don't think so. I think they still remember the morning when everybody seemed to come from everywhere to chase them home.
When we finally managed to get their feet on the ground, they took off like race horses, passed the front door, and skidded to a stop at the back door where they flopped down and panted with relief.

Celebrated photographer Don McCullin worked for The Sunday Times from 1966 to 1983, at a time when the newspaper was widely recognised as being at the cutting edge of international investigative photo-journalism. During that period he covered wars and humanitarian disasters on virtually every continent: from civil war in Cyprus, the war in Vietnam and the man-made famine in Biafra to the plight of the homeless in swinging sixties London.
This new documentary from the producers of the award-winning SENNA uses rich, detailed archive footage and incredible in-depth interviews to reveal the truth behind McCullin's hard-hitting and controversial images, piecing together his remarkable story in truly breathtaking style.

You're likely to leave the theater after seeing "Shortbus" feeling as if you've seen it all -- sex from every angle, sex with any combination of participants, sex you thought only existed in urban legend -- and still the film is not intended to turn you on.
Filmmaker John Cameron Mitchell -- the writer, director and star of the acclaimed "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" -- pushes the limits of mainstream movies in his new film, which features real -- not simulated -- sex that's as explicit as hardcore porn yet hardly designed for that market.
"This film isn't meant to be a one-night stand," Mitchell tells ABCNEWS.com. "If you leave the theater, and you're only thinking about sex, then you have a problem. Instead, we're looking at the emotion and feelings and hangups that are attached to sex."
Still, 15 minutes into this film you'll see one couple who basically attempts to illustrate every page of "The Joy of Sex" and another very limber man who pleasures himself in a way that might have men rushing to yoga class.
But the film's plot twists and comic dialogue are more reminiscent of the eccentrically neurotic New Yorkers in a Woody Allen movie, only these characters tangle with whips, remote control vibrators and a sex salon called "Shortbus," where anything goes.
And who goes to such a club? A sex therapist (Sook-Yin Lee) in search of her first orgasm, a dominatrix (Lindsay Beamish) longing for a lasting relationship, and a gay couple in a committed relationship weighing whether to open their relationship to a third.
But unlike a porn movie, the sex comes with emotional consequences.
"Everybody is trying to feel something; everyone is trying to feel an emotional connection," says Mitchell. "I'm trying to use sex as a way to explain these characters, and that's not done too often in contemporary American films."
Most amazingly, the film, which is unrated, is set to hit more than 200 theaters across the United States by the end of the month, including the top 40 media markets, after premiering Wednesday in New York to largely positive reviews.
Variety has called the film "unquestionably the most sexually graphic American narrative feature ever made outside the realm of the porn industry."
The New York Times declared "Shortbus" is "ultimately less shocking than disarming, more a comedy of manners layered with social satire than a peep-show or a John Waters-style provocation."
David Germain of The Associated Press agreed that "for all their fornicating, oral sex and other carnal acts, the characters feel like grown-ups reverting to experimental teen years, men and women given a chance to strip away years of hangups and put down a base for more honest, unrestrained love and sensuality in the future."
For the 43-year-old Mitchell, just getting distribution in the United States was a bit of a surprise. And the fact that it hasn't yet caused an uproar is a bit of an amazement.
"When we were seeking financing, we heard the typical questions: 'Where's the revenue going to come? You'll never get this film into Blockbuster. It'll never be in cable.' No one ever imagined we'd have problems in Europe," says Mitchell, "But there were questions about how it'd go out in the U.S."
Made on a $2 million budget, the film got raves at the Cannes film festival, and indie distributor ThinkFilm won a bidding war for the U.S. rights.
