It is the climax to Rio de Janeiro's annual carnival festivities: a procession of exotic samba dancers parading through the city's arena will drive crowds to a crescendo of excitement this weekend.
And at the heart of each samba school's troupe of performers - some up to 5,000-strong - will be the queen of drums, the dancer chosen to embody the rhythm and beauty that brings the procession to life.
For women like Bruna Bruno, 29, the four-day festivity that brings Brazil's biggest city to a standstill is also the high point of months of hard work and preparation for the role of drum queen.
"When carnival starts, I will be full of happiness and joy," the queen of Uniao da Ulha said. "I just want everyone to do a great parade."
But behind the exotic costumes and dancing that draws two million spectators on to the city's streets lies a less attractive side: the fierce competition between women for the coveted top slot, and between rival schools to be named best in their league.
Last week, the Brazilian press published photographs of the scars that some dancers bear from continuously sambaing down the Sambodromo, a specially built stretch of street lined with stands for spectators. They had callused feet from their high heels, bruises, scratches and, in one instance, burns from an accident in which a costume caught fire.
The gruelling training sessions endured by the women in the months leading up to the parade, which necessitate regular visits to the doctor for checkups, are just part of the picture.
Of all the intricate costumes worn by performers at the carnival, that of the drum queen is most revealing - putting pressure on the women to get themselves into shape by whatever means necessary.
The result is that Miss Bruno, who runs a beauty clinic by day, is widely reputed to be the only top drum queen not to have sought surgical enhancement for the role.
"There is a lot of pressure," Miss Bruno said. "But I prefer to maintain my body naturally, with exercising, diet and massage. I have had no surgery."
She has held on to the top spot with her school for nine years. Miss Bruno's samba school is based in Ilha do Governador, the island in Rio's Guanabara Bay that is home to the city's airport and 500,000 people, and is also where she was born and brought up.
It was always the tradition that each samba group's drum queen would be chosen, like Miss Bruno, from the local community, for her beauty and charm. But in recent years schools have begun to look further afield, with an eye to the publicity that the right drum queen can bring.
High-profile models, actresses and a former contestant in Big Brother Brazil have been selected in the past.
Among them is Susana Vieira, a popular Brazilian television actress, who was in her sixties when she was invited to be the drum queen for Grande Rio, one of the elite 12 that form the Special Group, or top league, of samba schools in Rio de Janeiro. Having already enjoyed a successful acting career, Ms Vieira commanded the attention of the public and the press despite her advancing years.
Now she has become the unexpected voice of many of those who worry about the direction that the carnival has taken and its effect on younger dancers.
"When you enter the Sambodromo for the parade, it's a big responsibility," she said. "It's very competitive: every beautiful young woman wants to be the drum queen as it's the role with the most visibility.
"I know the girls suffer a lot. For them, it's like a war. They live for this. For me, it's just one part of my life. I live to be happy, to be a great actress and a beautiful woman. But the women from Rio are preoccupied just with their bodies."
She blames in part the increasing commercialisation of the carnival, with rival schools requiring constant improvements to stay at the top of their leagues.
However, she is critical of the younger women for succumbing to the pressure to have surgical enhancement, in a country where, according to recent figures, the number of people seeking plastic surgery has doubled over the past four years.
"The women here in Brazil have plastic surgery very early," she said. "At 25 or 26, they put silicone in here, they cut there, and it's permanent. They shouldn't do this, they are young, so why do they need this?"
Many blame the attention lavished on Rio's drum queens for fuelling the demand for cosmetic surgery, making Brazil, where 905,000 procedures were carried out in 2011, second only to the US for operations. The most common procedures are liposuction and breast augmentation.
"When a woman goes for plastic surgery, it's 100 per cent competitive," said Dr Luiz Victor Carneiro, who has worked with Ivo Pitanguy, the world-renowned plastic surgeon who is based in Rio.
"Some come here and want unbelievable things and if I realise that is happening, I don't do the surgery.
"There is a great vanity here in Brazil, we expose too much of our body - especially in Rio."
Dr Barbara Machado, who has also worked with Dr Pitanguy, said that there was a spike in young women seeking surgery towards the end of every year, to be ready in time for the carnival.
Becoming a drum queen, even though it is usually unpaid, can lead not just to celebrity but also to sponsorship and marketing deals.
Rayssa Oliveira, 22, the drum queen for Beija-Flor samba school who will also be under the spotlight this weekend, has had liposuction and breast implants - and has no regrets.
"Everyone wants to be at the front of the percussion section," she said. "But I'm the queen. I represent a marvellous school and I'm very grateful. There are no words to describe how I will feel when carnival begins."
She said that she had the surgery for her own benefit. "I work for carnival all year. I travel outside the state, promoting the name of the Rio carnival."
Nor is spectators' appetite for the carnival likely to diminish. Last year it attracted 1.1?million visitors from outside Rio, of whom 350,000 were from abroad, generating an estimated pounds 465?million for the city. Millions more watched it on television.
And for all her criticism, even Ms Vieira remains a fan. "It's perfect," she said. "Not because of the money, but because it's about the Brazilians who play every instrument, the people who work from 7am to 7pm to make it happen.
"The whole Brazilian people are represented by what happens on the avenue. It's still the best spectacle in the world."

Blake Griffin made some ears perk up this week when he insisted the Clippers should not hang a division championship banner in the Staples Center. While teammate Caron Butler might have disagreed with him, they both expect bigger things than a division title. But as far as Griffin's comments are concerned, he is very correct.In the NBA, the Lakers and Celtics hang banners for NBA titles, not division or conference titles. Griffin understands this, especially since the Clippers share the same home court as the Lakers. While this might be the best season ever for the Clippers, and should receive some recognition, a banner could possibly be hung in the Clippers practice facility, which Griffin even suggested.When something like this comes about, recognizing team achievements other than the sports championship title, I always refer to Lord Stanley's Cup for guidance. When a NHL team wins the conferences trophy before the Stanley Cup round, they skate out to the presentation. Here's a good explanation of hockey's trophy rules when it comes to the conference trophies versus the Cup. And here as well.I don't follow the NHL until the playoffs. It's not that I don't enjoy it, I just have never gotten into it. But I totally love the way they treat the conference trophy.When you get to the playoffs, if you don't win the title, you didn't win anything. And that's how it should be treated. Kudos to Blake Griffin for understanding that. Now go make more Kia commercials!

My last period was some time around the 17th of October. I had sex on halloween. Around the 10th of November I started getting PMS - really weepy, breasts soooo sore, cramps. On the 15th at about 2 in the afternoon, I went to go pee and there was blood on the tissue. I figured it was my period but when I wiped a second time, there was nothing. So I put in a panty liner and I spotted a little bit more around 5. When I woke up in the morning there was maybe a tablespoon of blood on the pad. So I put in a tampon. I took it out when I went pee again late that afternoon, and there was just a little bit of blood on the tip of the tampon and down the side of it. The next morning my flow was heavier, enough to fill up a couple tampons during the day. But by the next day, it was back to just a very light spotty flow. And the funniest part was, it was purely blood. The only tissue I saw was around the last day towards the very end there were some shreds of kinda brownish gray material. IT wasn't a normal period at all. Mine are extremely heavy on days 1 and 2, medium on day 3, and light on 4 and 5, and spotty on day 6.
After this, my breast tenderness went away, but my cramps were still there. After three days, my cramps were as bad as I remember them being with my first pregnancy. Yesterday I started having to pee almost every hour(and it's continued through today) and I went to bed at 8 pm. I even fell asleep in one of my classes for 30 minutes, but I haven't been as sleepy as I was with my son. My breasts aren't tender the way they were at the beginning of the month, but they ache really badly. I also have a lot of saliva and a stuffy nose.
If it weren't for the period, I would be in the store getting a hpt. My question is, has anyone experienced bleeding like this? I've heard of implantation bleeding, but I know that's much lighter than this was. So I know you can't have a /real/ period while you're pregnant but has anyone had this happen? Could this just be a funny period or should I waste the money on a test?
Thanks everyone!

Okay, so I am trying to build a really effective all White Soldier & Angels Deck.
Its mostly Soldiers with a sprinkle of Angels (with a few other cards added in for effect, or added in until I get better cards to replace them).
This is not a tournament deck. Its just for fun...but I want it to kick arse too.
So I thought I'd post it here and see what recommendations you all might have.
It's not a "finished" deck. I want to test it a few times. But atm, these are the cards that I have for it.
There are a few others I am thinking to add (or replace) if/when I get them.
Also, yes, it is larger than 60 cards... I have tried and tried and tried to slim it down (and actually did..haha... this is what I ended up with)
I am calling this deck, "Steel & Sky".

BOISE -- A facility ten years in the making is now complete, thanks to the help of financial donors and members of the public.
Construction workers are now putting the finishing touches on the 15,000 square-foot main lodge at the YMCA Camp at Horsethief Reservoir east of Cascade. The completion of the building means the camp can stay open year round, serving hundreds of kids throughout Idaho.
In 2001, the Boise YMCAhatched a plan to build a YMCAcamp just east of Cascade.
The Boise YMCA had been without a permanent camp since 1968. That's when the YMCA sold its camp on Payette Lake, and began renting different spaces to host its camps.
Fast forward nearly a decade, and after millions of dollars in donations, the YMCA Camp at Horsethief Reservoir opened in 2010. However, the main lodge wasn't complete at that time, and the camp was forced to close during colder months.
Tim and Mary Wilcomb lost their son Cooper in 2001. He was just 12 years old, and died in a snowboarding accident in McCall. They say Cooper had been a 'Y' camper, and loved the experience.
YMCA C.E.O. Jim Everett told KTVB he still remembers how special Cooper was to the YMCA camp program.
Cooper loved camp, I remember he came when he was 8 years old and he was one of those kids who was wise beyond his years, said Everett.
Cooper's death lead his parents to push for a permanent camp, at Horsethief Reservoir.
They wanted to do something to allow kids to have an experience somewhat like what Cooper had, said Everett.
The camp already offers cabins, yurts, and plenty of outdoor activities. However, YMCAofficials say the new lodge will also provide a kitchen and dining space so that more kids and adults can enjoy the facility year round.
The lodge's opening is emotional for the many people who have been working on the project for a decade.
There's never been a moment that I doubted we would get to this day but I didn't think we would get here this soon, so it's going to be amazing to be up there and to celebrate, said Everett.
The lodge is 15,000 square feet, and will also allow staffers to live year round at the camp. The grand opening celebration of the main lodge is Saturday, June 1, at 11 a.m.
Summer camps for kids at Horsethief Reservoir begin in two weeks. For more information, check out the YMCA's website.

Mosquito larvicidal activity of alkaloids and limonoids derived from Evodia rutaecarpa unripe fruits against Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae).
Summary of "Mosquito larvicidal activity of alkaloids and limonoids derived from Evodia rutaecarpa unripe fruits against Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae)."
In recent years, uses of environment friendly and biodegradable natural insecticides of plant origin have received renewed attention as agents for vector control. During a screening program for new agrochemicals from Chinese medicinal herbs and local wild plants, the ethanol extract of Evodia rutaecarpa Hook f. et Thomas (Rutaceae) unripe fruits was found to possess larvicidal activity against the mosquitoes. The aim of this research was to determine larvicidal activity of the ethanol extract of E. rutaecarpa unripe fruits and the isolated constituents against the larvae of the Culicidae mosquito Aedes albopictus. The powder, 5 kg of the fruit material, was extracted with 30 l of 95 % ethanol, filtered, and evaporated to dryness in a rotary vacuum evaporator. The crude extract was then partitioned between methanol-water and n-hexane. The n-hexane fraction was evaporated off to given n-hexane extract. The aqueous layer was repartitioned with chloroform to provide chloroform extract after evaporation of the solvent. Further partitioning with ethyl acetate gave a residue after evaporation of the solvent. Bioactivity-directed chromatographic separation of chloroform extract on repeated silica gel columns led to the isolation of three alkaloids (evodiamine, rutaecarpine, and wuchuyuamide I) and two limonoids (evodol and limonin). The structures of the constituent compounds were elucidated based on high-resolution electron impact mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance. Evodiamine, rutaecarpine, and wuchuyuamide I exhibited strong larvicidal activity against the early fourth instar larvae of A. albopictus with LC(50) values of 12.51, 17.02, and 26.16 μg/ml, respectively. Limonin and evodol also possessed larvicidal activity against the Asian tiger mosquitoes with LC(50) values of 32.43 and 52.22 μg/ml, respectively, while the ethanol extract had a LC(50) value of 43.21 μg/ml. The results indicated that the ethanol extract of E. rutaecarpa and the five isolated constituents have a good potential as a source for natural larvicides.

not only is are banks shorting gold to create a buying opportunity. they are also making harder for gold mines to profit. eventually works will stop, the metals will stop and all the gold and silver above ground will disappear into oblivion.

"Isn't it DEFLATION, Peter?" This guy and Mish and others love
"Isn't it DEFLATION, Peter?" This guy and Mish and others love to hate on anyone warning about INFLATION. The Fed creates trillions out of thin air, and yet they're saying inflation is not a threat. Amazing. Don't they see what's going on? The money's pouring into the stock market!
Every week, the Fed buys $20 billion in bonds, and the sellers take that fresh money and buy stocks! The stock sellers take that money and put into more stocks, while their brokers collect massive fees. JP Morgan ALONE has $500 billion in deposits. FIVE HUNDRED BILLION in one bank. That's a lot of cash doing nothing! What about the SIX HUNDRED BILLIONS in our trade deficit? That's equal to a year's worth of QE. Suckers in China are eating our inflation.
Deflation exists because banks are not lending and buisnesses cannot put money where its needed, into capital projects and salaries. That's not changing with all the QE.
What happens when the dollar collapses and the stock market, the bank vaults, and the Chinese won't absorb all that cash anymore, and instead pour it into commodities?

Connecticut. My boss couldn't get any bank to loan him money, something he never had a problem doing before 2008. He had to go to the loan sharks, otherwise known as Venture Capital firms. They took a buzz saw to our personnel and sold off our productive machinery to get a quick turnaround as "proof" of our good faith. We're downsizing again as we cannot build revenue fast enough for the "partners'" liking. Cost cutting comes before production. When all costs are cut, along with a few veins, then they'll be happy, but not until they pull their five mil out with a 25% return in five years. Or was it four?
Anyway, banks have given up on waiting for returns from small to medium sized businesses. Playing f'in roulette in the stock market is much more profitable, especially if its with someon else's money and all they risk is ruining a customer and not getting further fees and commissions.

Re: Crealock 37 Wheel to Tiller Conversion
Dear Marc,
We also made this conversion and LOVE it! It was a bit of work and futzing but not a difficult conversion.
Removing the pedestal and all that stuff was quite easy. We wanted to make easy for a future owner to convert back so we "covered" the bolt holes with bronze carriage bolts with the heads filed in a decorative compass rose pattern. We covered the hole for the cables with a top view of the PSC 37 hull with a single decorated carriage bold holding it in place. (see picture which is not very good).
For the engine controls we went with a single lever control on the starboard side of the cockpit footwell. While we occasionally bump into it (increasing or decreasing engine RPMs, there have been no problems with this location. And docking or picking up a mooring is not too bad especially if those are happening on the starboard side.
We moved the compass and Chartplotter up onto the companionway hatch. This is GREAT because you can slide the GPS up close or further away depending on which crewmember (with which eyesight and/or glasses) is trying to figure out where we are!
For the tiller and hardware we used a standard skeg bushing on the top end (replacing the round cover plate) like this
. We then used standard 1 1/2" tiller hardware from Spartan Marine (
Spartan Marine Hardware Catalog
) (no association with either company). Then came the fun which was to have a machine shop manufacture a rudder post extension which was solid at the top (to fit into the tiller cap) and then hollow (to save weight) to fit down inside the existing rudder post. This went all the way down about 1" past the bolt holding on the quadrant and was notched to fit over that bolt and drilled for the higher bolt for the emergency tiller. Thus the new rudder post extension was about 18" long and fastened with two through bolts to the existing rudder post. Hard to explain but obvious when you look at it. BUT on our boat those bolts were no where near centered in the rudder post so had to be marked in place, taken back to the machine shop, and drilled with great creativity.
The tiller itself was the easy part! I used some local ash and can send dimensions if that would be helpful. We then installed a tiller extension, again of ash and really like having the choices it gives us of where to sit or stand).
Sorry for the long post. It was a big job but one of the better things we did.
SV Kenlanu, Buck's Harbor, ME
P.S. To complete the job I glassed in the nuts holding the cockpit sole in place so I could remove the bolts from above (no more locker crawling). I then used Stainless Steel Button Head bolts, cut off an allan wrench to fit in my drill, and can now do a NASCAR-style cockpit sole removal! Wonderful.

Tracing ABC Letter Worksheets
10,000 - 50,000 downloadsAdd this app to your lists
+ By Remarkable
You are invited to try out the free trial version before purchasing this FULL version.
NEW: You can now create your custom word list and record your own voice-over for them!
Ever wanted to teach your child how to write his/her name? This new engaging feature makes it possible!!!
NOTE: We are glad to announce Tracing ABC now supports Spanish!
* Added Spanish support for all packages including word practice with over 600 words!!!
Get your little one on track to perfect penmanship with the Tracing ABC app for your android device. Ideal for children four years and older, the Tracing ABC app has a simple and engaging interface designed to help children print letters, numbers, and various shapes with ease and confidence.
Once your child has mastered his ABC, he can practice over 800 words, consisting of 80% of the elementary school words.
It's as Easy as...
Choose among five practice options: capital letters, lower-case letters, numbers, shapes or practicing full words! For the beginners with clumsy little fingers, the Guided Tracing Mode is a good place to start and Free Style Mode offers more of a challenge.
Just Learning
The "Easy" tracing mode displays a large, transparent letter on a chalkboard. A bright, green star indicates where your child should begin, followed by a path of fading yellow stars. To properly print the letter, your child will follow the yellow star path, beginning with the brightest, green star. If it's necessary to lift the chalk for a new line, a new bright green star will appear indicating such.
"Easy" makes it impossible to go outside of the lines. It's best for simply familiarizing your child with the letters, and providing positive feedback and encouragement.
I Think I Got It
The "Hard" tracing mode offers a more organic writing experience when your child is ready for more of a challenge. While the star path is still there, the chalk line follows the exact path of your child's finger. If your little one gets sloppy, the line will turn red. Each effort is awarded one, two, or three stars. Children may also be encouraged to simply try again.
A is for Alligator
After successfully tracing a letter, the overhead screen is pulled down displaying a word and photo of something beginning with that letter. Likewise, children will see a photo which represents the numbers and shapes as well.
Configure It!
Want to teach your child writing letters with a different formation? No problem! you can change the default strokes order and direction from the tools menu in game. Once you save the new formation it will automatically replace the default one.

(51 stars)
Simply DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY in this piece of crap. I WANT MY MONEY BACK!
(51 stars)
Why does it take so long between letters? A few minutes is to long to wait. Waste of money unless wait time is eliminated. Do not buy.
(51 stars)
It was better when I could swipe to the next letter without being forced to hear the word... The images on the sample above are not as the app appears. Also while I am at it ... I would like to have a phonics option
(51 stars)
The alphabet tracing stops at V. What kind of nonsense is that? Can't go all the way to Z? Awful.
(51 stars)
This used to be really good, but after I bought it, a few months later they consolidated free and paid versions. People lost functionality to move between letters and focus in on tough ones in that change. Whole functions like custom words stopped being usable!
(51 stars)
My 3 and 1 year old love tracing the letters and shapes.
(51 stars)
I have trouble getting rid of the keyboard when I type in my own word

Laver have said the GS today is worth 2 GS in his heyday because the standard is a lot higher. And he won those 4 slams on 2 surfaces. Based on these facts, Fed 2006 > Laver 1969.
Nadal won 3 slams in 2010, but the problem is he only won 7 titles, no WTF, and winning % is below 90.
Nole had the best run in history from the start of the year to the USO. But his problem is he was a no show after the USO. Basically, if he didn't play at all after the USO it wouldn't make any difference, only to have a higher winning % but that would be due to lack in number of matches played.
Mac 1984 will be remember as having the highest winning %. But he only bagged in 2 slams. And since Fed also had a great year in 2005 with 2 slams, I don't think his 1 additional loss(81-4) means Mac 84 leapfrog Fed 05.
in 84 Masters and WCT were bigger than AO, so mac takes 3 out of 4.
Laver, you know, won almost all big events of the year bar Rome, which went to his successor John Newcombe...and facing Rosewall,Newcombe,Roche,Gimeno,ashe,emmo,Ralston,D risdale,Stolle, Lutz,Smith,Kodes,Nastase in their prime or close to is not exactly like having to worry only about unmature Nadal and that´s it.
At msot you can compare Fed 2006 to Laver 62 and still Laver had to play true champs such as Santana,Emerson,Fraser,Osuna while other than Roddick and unmature Nadal, rest of the field in 2006 is a joke, and a very big one...

Help! My wife is an excellent beader, but she needs a little help. I am looking for an iPad app that will accept the input of any complex design and will also help the beader keep track of where they are in beading that design. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Hi Mark,
Unfortunately, the only bead specific apps on the IPad involve magazines. Unless it is a PDF pattern there really is no way for your wife to read her pattern on this device (unless it is scanned or downloaded in some form as a picture). If you are talking about beadwork that involves charts for a picture such as peyote or loom you might consider an an art app such as 'Tracing Paper' for $3.99. You could scan the pattern as a .jpeg, import it into the app and she could use tools from the app to help her keep track of where she is. That particular app has a grid which would help with rows and columns, and she could use 'pens' to mark her place in the design very easily. Or you might find another art app that meets your needs.
Sorry I couldn't be of any better help.
Sharon Mc
Hi, Mark, I pretty much do something similar to what Sharon does. I scan my patterns and save them as .pdf files (although I prefer to find or buy patterns that are in .pdf in the first place). Then I put them in my DropBox. From there I open them on my ipad DropBox app and select the option to subsequently open them with an ipad app called iAnnotate. This app allows me to mark off the rows as I go. I can also highlight and make notes on the .pdf.
SO much better, to me, than carrying around a magazine, book, or paper page that gets all wrinkly.

PORTLAND Mayor Charlie Hales' proposed budget cuts 42 positions from Portland Fire and Rescue, and a big way the mayor wants to accomplish that is to create some smaller crews for non-acute medical calls. But some firefighters fear they would lose some of the tools they need to do their jobs.
The city currently has two Rapid Response Vehicles, or RRV s, that use a two-person crew, instead of the four-person crews found on bigger engines and trucks.
Hales wants the RRV s to replace engines at stations with both an engine and truck company.
It is time to make some changes in the way we respond, and not always send a truck with four-person crew to every medical call, said Hales.
But firefighters don t like the plan. They say it will compromise safety for both fire crews and the public.
My concern is for the citizens of Portland, said Portland firefighter Isaac McLennan. My only frustration is we want to do our job, and we want the tools to do our job.
Portland s Battalion Chief in charge of Emergency Medical Service Ken Burns agrees RRV s replacing engines, instead of enhancing service, creates challenges.
It takes away some of the firefighting capabilities of the neighborhood, it puts a strain on the neighboring fire stations because they have to come in and cover that area which ultimately increases response times, Burns said.
Hales said it s better than the alternative of closing fire stations completely.
No question, we re talking about hard questions and change here, he said.

UPDATE: Video added after the jump
Confirming the story we ran on Saturday, Honda Racing F1 will go the non-traditional route and run the Earth-liveried RA107 racing car during this year's F1 season. The car's bodywork will be devoid of sponsor advertising (though Bridgestone, the car's tire supplier, is represented), but the team announced that existing sponsors as well as a host of new ones are on board for 2007 in support of the unorthodox effort. The unveiling took place today at a press conference at London's Natural History Museum, and drivers Rubens Barrichello and Jenson Button were on hand for the big reveal.
The map of the Earth is intended to raise awareness of environmental issues and Honda Racing will collaborate with environmental charities to develop and promote the automaker's "existing environmental ethos" in F1. Coinciding with the car's official unveiling is the launch of www.myearthdream.com, the website promoted on the car's rear wing. Visitors to the site can make a commitment to change their lifestyles to help improve the environment and make monetary donations to related charities. In return, visitors can have their names appear on the RA107 as pixel-sized text that ultimately makes up the map of the Earth covering the racer's bodywork.

It's Official: Honda Racing F1's Earth-liveried RA107 is a go (VIDEO)
Honda Racing F1 Team launches pioneering environmental concept
The Honda Racing F1 Team today announced a major new initiative for the 2007 Formula 1 season. To help raise awareness of the environmental issues facing the planet, the RA107 F1 car will simply feature a huge image of earth, in place of the advertising and sponsor logos which have featured and dominated all other F1 cars for decades.
The car's new look is a powerful call to action for fans, sponsors, customers and members of the public to join Honda's commitment to help address the environmental issues facing the world.
Via the websitewww.myearthdream.com, anyone who wishes, will have the opportunity to have their name on the car, make a pledge to make a lifestyle change to improve the environment and make a donation to an environmental charity. Under the concept of "our car is your car", each name will form a tiny individual pixel which will help build the image of planet earth on the car. Each name will be visible on the website when you make the pledge or under a microscope on the car.
Universal Music, the largest music company in the world, and Gatorade are the first global brands to partner the team in this exciting new concept. Existing partners have enthusiastically embraced the idea and all remain involved with the team for the 07 season. In addition, the team is delighted to announce that Fila, IBM, Instron, Oliver Sweeney, Perkin Elmer, Showa Denko, TUV and GF Agie Charmilles have joined the roster of team partners and suppliers.
The Honda Racing F1 Team will work closely with global environmental charities to develop Honda's existing environmental ethos within the world's most high profile motor-sport.
Nick Fry, Chief Executive Officer, Honda Racing F1 Team
"Climate change is probably the single biggest issue facing our planet and F1 is not immune from it. On the contrary we believe that F1 with its huge global profile and cutting edge technology can play an important role in not only highlighting the issues but also playing our part in developing solutions. In addition, the FIA recognises the opportunity for F1 to play an important role in developing technologies for the benefit of society long term. For example, by 2009, devices for energy recovery will be in place on the cars.
"So we at Honda F1 are proud to dedicate our car to the environmental challenge. We believe that solutions can stem directly from engineers working on our F1 program and are working harder than ever to achieve our dreams and win the World Championship while embracing and underscoring Honda's environmental ethos."
"First and foremost, we are a race team and F1 is very much a team sport. We achieve our racing objectives only by working together and parallels can be drawn with the way that we must all join together to address the environmental challenge. We hope that in raising awareness and highlighting the issues we will encourage members of the public to come together and help take on the challenge of climate change".
Yasuhiro Wada, Chairman, Honda Racing F1 Team and General Manager, Honda Motor Company
"Honda has a huge desire to challenge for this year's 2007 F1 World Championship. We hope this year will be a successful and exciting season. Equally we intend to give something back in the form of our new environmental F1 concept, which we believe will bring something fresh and new to motor sport."

Are people really going to whine that much over trophies? Honestly I wish I had the option to disable them on PS3. I hate having my game interrupted by getting trophies for doing random things in games. Its like they assume I'm supposed to care?
[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]
Meaning, that if you are a trophy fanatic and you've already earned all of them in Dragon's Dogma, you won't be able to earn any new ones in Dark Arisen, as you will already have them all when you start playing the game.
In short, the topic was not only placed in the wrong board (since it is game specific, it should have been posted there) even the content they posted is incorrect.

Really difficult games used to inspire us to become better at those games. Now...people just whine and complain. Such is the times.
Unless you have never played Dragon's Dogma before, there are NO new trophies. The list is just renamed "Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen", but the list is exactly the same as the vanilla version and no new list or trophies are added.
Glad DmC shipped a million copies and was a success. Supporting risk-takers and change is how the industry grows.

Other planned improvements include upgrades to the parking lot, a new restaurant in Splashin' Safari and a covered-bridge entrance to the Thanksgiving section of the park. There will also be a weekly fireworks show on Friday nights starting next June.
The park will continue to operate on weekends through October but is closed today and Sunday for a private event. Splashin' Safari will close for the year after operation on Sunday, Sept 15.
Park officials say they do not plan on raising admission prices for 2014.

Valuations of tea stocks are apparently not in sync with the buoyancy seen in the tea industry in recent times. Trading volumes in major tea counters, after a brief spurt witnessed a few months ago, have started flagging, belying the expectations that were built up on the bourses.
Sector leaders, including Tata Tea, McLeod Russel and Jayshree Tea, are not in the reckoning insofar as investors' interest is concerned, following what looks like a change in perception. This, say analysts, presents a clear disconnect between the industry's overall prospects and investors' expectations.
The declining volumes despite many positive factors such as growth in demand for tea within the country and export potential for Indian tea in leading world markets. This, coupled with improvement in tea companies' topline growth, makes the scenario bleaker from the point of view of valuations.
"We had hoped for a more permanent reversal of trends, especially because of significant developments concerning the tea industry. However, the volumes are just not there, at least not the kind that would sustain investors' interest for long," says an analyst with a brokerage firm.
Lacklustre stocks
McLeod Russel, for instance, closed today at Rs 106.90 against its 52-week high of Rs 160 reached earlier this year.
Tata Tea has already announced a profit after tax of Rs 44.56 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, as compared to Rs 43.41 crore in the corresponding quarter of 2005-06. Total income has increased from Rs 242.38 crore to Rs 265.58 crore. Tata Tea share price at the BSE hovered around Rs 845. On Wednesday, it dipped to Rs 827.90 after reaching a high of Rs 847.
Similar is the performance of the Jay Shree Tea & Industries' stock. Over the past month, the stock is hovering around Rs 115. On July 24, it recorded its 52-week low as the price dropped to Rs 91. During the February tea rally, it had reached a high of Rs 220. However, this B.K. Birla group company's net sales in Q1 jumped to Rs 46.4 crore (Rs 40 crore).
Share price of Goodricke Group Ltd has stagnated around Rs 85-86 after falling to Rs 55 on July 31, recording its 52-week low. This 74-per cent subsidiary of British tea major Camelia plc is a significant player in Darjeeling tea. Net sales of Goodricke also jumped to Rs 44 crore (Rs 38.5 crore) in the first quarter.

Singer and guitarist Chuck Brown invented go-go music in mid-'70s Washington, DC; it was an infectious blend of funk, Latin rhythms, and audience call-and-response that became the sound of African-American DC for decades. By the time of Brown's death in May at age seventy-five, he had become the undisputed godfather of the genre, and a civic icon, even though go-go never found much of an audience outside the capital city. At Brown's funeral, DC Council chairman Kwame Brown (no relation) began his eulogy in a defiant tone. "I am go-go," he declared. "To the media, you better get that right. For all the people who just moved to Washington, DC, and have a problem with go-go music, get over it." Taken literally, the exhortation made little sense. As a metaphor and piece of political theater, though,

Comelec to make partial proclamation of winning partylist groups
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines- The Commission on Elections (Comelec) said Wednesday that it is set to make a formal partial proclamation Thursday on the winning partylist groups.
The Comelec en banc, sitting as the National Board of Canvassers (NBOC), suspended the canvassing of the partylist votes Wednesday afternoon and said that they will make a formal announcement Thursday on which partylists have already won at least one seat.
Comelec Chairman Sixto Brillantes Jr. however said that they will not yet disclose the number of votes for each partylist as the canvassing of all certificates of canvass was not yet complete.
As of Wednesday afternoon, 68 COCs have yet to be canvassed out of a total 304 COCs.
The remaining uncounted votes from the 68 COCs will no longer be enough to adversely affect the final results, Brillantes said.
Majority of the COCs however come from OAVs; there are 196 OAV COCs while the rest are from provinces and cities in the country.
Some 80 of the OAV COCs registered zero votes.
