my car is bright silver with black interior very sharp looking.
my trans is a stickshift and so far since april 2010 it has worked perfect.
i wonder if during the economic downturn (2008 thru 2009) if something was just neglected at the factory.The cash for clunkers cleaned out a lot of those cars built during that time and you may be a victim of a slump in quality control.
I couldn't agree more. At 25,000 miles my 2010 fusion transmission failed. I had the car in 3 times prior complaining about the transmission and Ford could not fix it. I really liked the car except for the transmission and poor customer service. I traded the fusion in for a 20102 Sonata Limited 2 weeks ago. Never never will i ever buy an American engineered car again. Thanks Ford you failed!

I know I've lied to y'all many times before, but this time I swear it's true: Novel's latest mixtape leak is not what you'd expect from the title. In fact, I wouldn't recommend flipping it on in the bedroom unless you're looking to spend the evening in deep conversation regarding life, death and the hereafter. If you are in the mood for a little existential meditation, however, Body Down may be just what the doctor ordered. A remix of a joint off Jack Peñate's 2009 Everything Is New LP, this joint finds the ATL-repping Booth fave (and freestyle series alum) flipping the English singer-songwriter's moody rock instrumental into a backdrop for his soulful reflections on the fleeting nature of human life. Though he acknowledges the seeming arbitrariness of fate ("Why do the good die young, and why do the bad live?"), he refuses to be paralyzed in the face of his mortality, resolving that "We've gotta change the world before we're six feet under the ground." Novel has yet to reveal his further plans for this insightful banger; in the meantime, though, fans can find plenty more where this came from on the artist's acclaimed Grant Me Serenity mixtape, available now online.

Just as the body can become resistant to antibiotics, certain methods of killing cancer tumors can end up creating resistant tumor cells. But a University of Central Florida professor has found a protein present in several types of cancer, including breast and ovarian cancer, which could be helpful in preventing tumors from coming back.
The protein, KLF8, appears to protect tumor cells from drugs aimed at killing them and even aid the tumor cells' ability to regenerate.
"All cells have a DNA-repair mechanism," explained Jihe Zhao, a medical doctor and researcher who in the past few months has published several articles related to the protein in the Journal of Biological Chemistry (http://www.jbc.org/content/287/52/43720) and Oncogene (http://www.nature.com/onc/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/onc2012545a.html), among others. "That's why we survive constant DNA damage threats. But KLF8 is overexpressed in specific cancers, such as breast cancer and ovarian cancer. The thought is that if we can stop it from switching on, we may be able to stop the tumors from coming back as part of therapy. We still need to do a lot more research, but it is plausible."
There are between 2.5 million and 2.7 million women who have breast cancer in the United States and 10 to 20 percent will experience a recurrence, according to the American Cancer Society. Current treatment options, depending on the stage of cancer, include surgical removal followed by chemotherapy using a combination of cancer killing drugs. Each year about 22,200 women are also diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
DNA damage-based chemotherapies depend on failure of cancer cells to repair the DNA damage and subsequent cell death, according to the journal article. Aberrant high levels of DNA repair functi

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. (KTHV) - Hot Springs officials said plans are being discussed to build a multi-sports complex.
"It lays out perfectly for the kind of athletic fields we're looking at," said Steve Arrison, CEO of Visit Hot Springs.
Arrison said the proposed site sits off Highway 270 East near the King Expressway interchange.
"People travel miles and miles to watch their kids play youth sports," said Arrison.
Arrison said he estimates the property will cost $12 to $16 million.
"The Hot Springs advertising and promotion commission is going to pay for the project using existing tax that we're collecting," said Arrison.
He said it will play home to youth and adult tournaments and include areas for field sports likesoccer, lacrosse, flag footballand other sports.
"You will not be able to go to a sports complex anywhere in the United States and enjoy more beautiful views," said Arrison.
Officials hope to secure a land deal soon and would like to see the first phase completed by July 2015.

Turkey Stocks Priciest Since 2003 on 'Crowded Trade'
Nov. 25 (Bloomberg) -- The highest Turkish stock valuations in seven years and slowest profit growth in the emerging markets are signs the nation's longest stretch of equity outperformance since 1997 is ending.
The MSCI Turkey Index trades for 2.2 times net assets, the highest since February 2003 relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, data compiled by Bloomberg and MSCI Inc. show. Earnings in the 20-company Turkey gauge will rise 7.7 percent next year, the smallest gain of 19 major developing nations, according to analysts' estimates.
Turkey's fastest economic expansion since 2005 and record-low interest rates spurred mutual fund managers to make Turkey their largest "overweight" holding and sent price-to-book ratios to a 10 percent premium over emerging markets, from a 45 percent discount two years ago. Citigroup Inc. and Morgan Stanley say stock pickers are too optimistic and slower profit growth will limit gains after the MSCI Turkey index outperformed the emerging markets benchmark for six straight quarters.
"It's hard to go any lower on interest rates and the economy is going to decelerate after its V-shaped recovery," Andrew Howell, Citigroup's emerging-market equity strategist in London, said in a Nov. 19 phone interview. "Investors are now pricing in much more of a rosy scenario for Turkey than they've tended to in the past. The risk is that they're disappointed in the near term."
Stock Swings
Howell lowered his "overweight" recommendation on Turkish stocks to "neutral" for the first time since May, saying in an Oct. 28 report that increased foreign inflows have made the market a "crowded trade." The MSCI Turkey gauge advanced 27 percent this year, more than double the 11 percent gain of the MSCI emerging-market index.
Turkish stocks are known for their sizable swings, with the MSCI Turkey index having rallied 86 percent last year after tumbling 52 percent in 2008 and increasing 41 percent in 2007. The Turkey gauge fell 0.3 percent to 982,428.6 at 5:40 p.m. in Istanbul today, while the MSCI emerging-market index advanced 0.3 percent.
Turkey's economy is set to expand 7.8 percent in 2010, compared with 10.5 percent in China, the fastest-growing major economy, according to forecasts from the International Monetary Fund. While China will grow 9.6 percent next year, the pace will slow for the Mediterranean nation to 3.6 percent in 2011, below its annual average of 4 percent since 1980, based on the Washington-based IMF's October projections. Turkey's economy shrank by 4.7 percent in 2009 as China's grew 9.1 percent.
IMF Bailout
Turkey was bailed out by the IMF in 2001 after a banking crisis forced the government to borrow more than $40 billion to recapitalize more than 20 failed lenders. The IMF agreement ended in May 2008 and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan says he aims to finish repaying the fund by 2012.
Turkey's slowing economy and a central bank requirement that lenders raise their reserve levels will curb profitability at lenders such as Turkiye Is Bankasi AS and Yapi & Kredi Bankasi AS that account for 60 percent of the MSCI Turkey index's market value, according to analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
Turkey's central bank increased the level of lira reserves that banks must deposit on Nov. 12 to 6 percent from 5.5 percent and said it may boost the level further because the economy is in danger of "overheating."
Isbank, Yapi Kredi
Profits at Turkish financial companies jumped 32 percent during the past 12 months as the economy rebounded and a surge in government bond prices increased the value of lenders' holdings, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The bond rally may falter as inflation forces the central bank to lift its benchmark interest rate next year, Citigroup said on Oct. 28.
The central bank probably will raise its benchmark interest rate by 150 basis points, or 1.5 percentage point, to 8.5 percent by the end of next year to combat inflation, according to Citigroup.
Isbank, Turkey's biggest-listed lender by assets, may increase profits 1.9 percent next year and Yapi Kredi's will climb 5.3 percent, according to analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg. That compares with predictions of 23 percent growth for companies in the MSCI Emerging Markets Financials Index. Both Turkish lenders are based in Istanbul.
"Turkey's banks are an area to be careful in," Ivo Kovachev, an emerging-markets money manager at JO Hambro Capital Management Ltd. in London, which oversees about $8.5 billion, said in a Nov. 19 phone interview. "They've been winners because of good fundamental reasons, but this situation is changing."
Borrowing Costs
Philippe Langham, who runs the $660 million RBC Emerging Markets Fund, said the outlook for Turkish banks is "very positive" because borrowing costs have declined and they're better-capitalized than peers.
The average yield on Turkish corporate bonds has dropped to 5.28 percent from 18 percent two years ago, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s CEMBI Broad Turkey Index. The average Tier 1 capital ratio, a measure of financial strength, for banks in the MSCI Turkey Financials Index is 17 percent, compared with 12 percent for lenders in the MSCI emerging-markets index, Bloomberg data show.
Turkish share valuations are about 20 percent too low, based on a model used by Credit Suisse Group AG that ranks countries using price-to-book ratios and returns on equity, a measure of how well management reinvests profits, Sakthi Siva, the Zurich-based bank's emerging-market strategist, wrote in a Nov. 22 note.
Fund Flows
Emerging equity mutual funds have boosted their holdings in Turkey to the biggest "overweight" position on record, a sign bullish managers have already bought into the market, according to Citigroup's Howell, who cited data for the end of September compiled by EPFR Global, a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based research firm.
Company analysts are lowering estimates for Turkish profits, cutting their growth projection for the MSCI Turkey Index to 7.7 percent from 19 percent at the start of the year, according to the average of about 475 estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Growth estimates for the MSCI emerging-market index have slipped to 16 percent from 21 percent in January, the data show.
Stock Picking
Turkey's current-account and budget deficits make the lira vulnerable to declines, eroding returns for overseas equity investors, according to Morgan Stanley strategist Jonathan Garner. The IMF predicts a budget shortfall this year amounting to 3.5 percent of gross domestic product and a 5.2 percent current-account gap. China will have a budget deficit of about 2.9 percent and a 4.7 percent current-account surplus. The lira rose 6.7 percent against the dollar in the past six months.
"It is one of those markets that we would recommend reducing exposure," Garner said in a Nov. 23 phone interview. He downgraded Turkey to "underweight" from "equal-weight" on Sept. 21.
JO Hambro holds Turkish shares that aren't in the MSCI index, including Turk Traktor & Ziraat Makineleri AS, a maker of farm machinery, and Yazicilar Holding AS, the Istanbul-based holding company with stakes in beverage and automotive businesses. Turk Traktor, based in Ankara, is valued at 9 times reported earnings and Yazicilar trades for 7.6 times, compared with 11.3 for the MSCI Turkey index, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"I'm looking at smaller, more dynamic companies," said JO Hambro's Kovachev. "Stock selection is important."

More women MPs needed in Pacific Parliaments & urgent funding required to fight HIV, TB and Malaria
Concerns about the lack of female representation in decision–making positions in the Pacific Region have been raised by New Zealand member of Parliament Dr Jackie Blue at the Commonwealth Parliament Association (CPA) regional conference in Australia.
A branch of the Commonwealth Women Parliamentarians was recently established in New Zealand, said Dr Blue. She hopes a Pacific branch can also be established to encourage and support increased participation of women in Pacific Parliaments.
Women in the Pacific face significant inequalities and to overcome these they need to be empowered politically, economically, educationally, socially and with good health. Having more women MPs means that there will be greater prioritisation of women's issues on the political agenda and in policy development, she said.
A paper was also presented at the conference by fellow New Zealand MP Charles Chauvel. He reported on the work of the Pacific Friends of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria, and also on that of the UN Global Commission on HIV and the Law. Mr Chauvel is a member of the Board of the Pacific Friends, and sits on the UN Global Commission.
Speaking about the Pacific Friends of the Global Fund, Mr Chauvel reported on the 3rd Voluntary Replenishment of the Global Fund last month, which fell over $US8bn short of its target. "The shortfall seriously sets back the fight against HIV, TB, and Malaria. Further work needs to be done to encourage private sector and civil society sources of funding, as well as rapidly developing countries," he said. "Otherwise, we will retreat for the first time in history in eradicating some of the major health challenges facing humanity, which would be a disastrous scenario."
Speaking on the work of the UN Commission on HIV and the Law, Mr Chauvel said that the Commission had identified 3 priorities for its work over the 14 months allowed for between now and its final reporting deadline at the end of 2011. "Empowering women, especially in developing countries, to insist on safe sex; assisting marginalised populations such as sex workers, HIV drug users, HIV-positive people and men who have sex with men; and improving access to HIV treatments are the three most obvious ways to use the law as a beneficial tool to contain the HIV epidemic," Mr Chauvel said.
A common theme in both New Zealand delegates' presentations was that gender equality legislation was a significant tool to influence health outcomes, accompanied by measures to tackle violence against women.
A copy of both members' papers is available on request. It is the 30th CPA Australian and Pacific Regional Conference and is being held in Canberra, Australia. The conference concludes on Saturday, 6 November 2010.

PHOENIX -- They smoked their first opponent and survived their second.
Now UCLA's Bruins face Western Kentucky, and what's the forecast? Coach Ben Howland was calling for mostly repeat conditions, with zero percent chance of humility.
"I'd rather play Mississippi Valley State over again," he said, "but I don't think that's going to happen."
Not likely. There's a better chance of today's Sweet 16 matchups in Phoenix being postponed because of a malfunctioning Zamboni.
The Bruins surely are going to get the Hilltoppers, but that only leads to more uncertainty. Wouldn't it be easier to wrap your arms — and your reasoning — around this game if the Bruins were playing just regular Kentucky?
We're a week into the tournament, a point where lingering visitors have become stowaways. Didn't George Mason take up at least a decade's worth of Cinderella fortune just two years ago?
So far this tournament has been both wildly predictable and predictably wild. To wit:
Of the top three seeds in each of the four regions, only Duke and Georgetown are no longer alive.
Then again, there are as many No. 12 seeds remaining as there are No. 2 seeds.
And that returns us to the subject of Western Kentucky, champions of a conference called the Sun Belt, not the Sans-A-Belt. It is located in Bowling Green, a city name obviously not limited to Ohio.
This will be the first time these schools have met in a basketball game. Still, by tipoff tonight, Howland and the Bruins will know plenty about the Hilltoppers.
But where does that leave the rest of us? How are we to view a team that didn't crack network television until just six days ago? How are we to distinguish among a bunch that starts one guard named Tyrone and another named Ty and also has a D.J., an A.J. and a B.J.?
Should we trust Howland, who, naturally, talks about Western Kentucky in ominous terms, so much so the Hilltoppers can be expected to challenge the Celtics and Pistons coming out of the East.
"Their guard play is as good as anyone in the country," Howland said. "Their point guard (Tyrone Brazelton) is as quick as anybody we've played. (Courtney) Lee is an NBA player."
The coach also had nice things to say about Mississippi Valley State this time last week. Then the Bruins made the Delta Devils look like contenders for a CIF championship.

The annual Farm to Fork Picnic that pairs Triangle-area chefs and farmers will become a three-day weekend of events that will take place June 5-7. The first two events June 5-6 will feature James Beard winner and The New York Times best-selling author Paul Greenberg.
The Local Food Council of North Carolina is bringing together more than 100 local food council delegates from across the state Dec. 4-5 at at BioTech Place, 575 N Patterson Ave. in Winston-Salem. The event, Connecting for the Future: A Gathering of NC Food Councils, will attract delegates from more than 36 local groups and approximately 24 state organizations and agencies.
Tickets are now on sale for the annual Farm to Fork Picnic, June 8, 4-7 p.m., at the Breeze Farm in Orange County. The picnic, which pairs some of the area's best chefs with local farmers, has been called the "the best country's best all you can eat feast" by Bon Appetit magazine.
As the holidays approach, Franklin County farmer Robert Elliott sends his thanks, in the form of an audio slideshow, to Cooperative Extension and agricultural agent Martha Mobley, this year's winner of the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association's Educator of the Year Award.
N.C. Growing Together offers the first local foods-focused business school supply chain fellowships.
In just three years, the N.C. 10% Campaign, which encourages all North Carolinians and businesses to spend 10 percent of their food dollars on locally produced foods, has logged more than $40 million in expenditures. The campaign, which kicked off in July 2010, now counts more than 6,500 individuals and 850 businesses among its supporters.
This summer's tomato season got off to a slow start, with cooler spring temperatures and heavier-than-normal rainfall. But that didn't stop tomato lovers from turning out for the fourth annual Great Tomato Festival in Greensboro, organized by N.C. Cooperative Extension in Guilford County and N.C. A&T State University.
Will Cramer is the successful farm manager behind Ever Laughter Farm just north of Hillsborough. He and his business partner Sam Hummel, are among those who got their start at Orange County's Breeze Farm enterprise incubator. New farmer programs will benefit from support of the 2013 Farm to Fork Picnic June 9.
Tickets are on sale for the 2013 Farm to Fork Picnic being held June 9, 4-7 p.m. at the PLANT @ Breeze Farm Enterprise Incubator near Hurdle Mills. The popular event, which pairs local farmers with Triangle area chefs, has been called "the country's best all you can eat feast" by Bon Appetit magazine.
For the first time, N.C. State's Agroecology Education Farm will provide fresh produce to campus dining facilities. As part of the university's Earth Day celebration, community members, students and more gathered to plant the plants that will feed the campus.

Paper Shooters cardboard rifle kit shoots paper ammo 75 feet
April 11, 2013
Cardboard is a remarkably versatile material and capable of being so much more than mere disposable packaging – as highlighted by the cardboard bike, helmet, and church. We can now add functional toy rifle to the growing list of viable cardboard-constructed inventions, courtesy of the Paper Shooters build-it-yourself cardboard rifle kit.
In order to bring about a gun with the desired accuracy and build quality, the Paper Shooters team collaborated with UK-based Bang Creations – a company with former Hasbro designers responsible for Nerf products on its payroll.
The resulting design is capable of shooting "soft splat" paper pellets up to 75 feet (22 meters), with a satisfying whack. The pellets are fed via spring-powered firing mechanism and magazine, and performance is comparable to an Airsoft gun. The attention to detail is impressive, even down to shells which are ejected from the side.
The kit contains everything required to build the rifle, including tools. The assembly process doesn't look too involved, with a minimal plastic frame first constructed, before two layers of camouflage-colored cardboard are added as an outer shell. Paper Shooters reckons young people aged 14 and older should be able to construct their own rifle.
The rifles are available in three iterations, varying in color: "Digital Ops," "Zombie Slayer," and "Golden Touch." A total of 50 paper pellets is included in the purchase, though a mold is also provided, enabling users to make additional pellets from damp paper.
Paper Shooters has launched an Indiegogo campaign to raise the funds required for widespread production of the cardboard rifles. A minimum contribution of US$45 is required to secure the cheapest Digital Ops kit, with Golden Touch fetching $65. The campaign has 39 days left to run, and a goal of $72,000.
The video below features more information on the project.

Very cool bit of tech and imagination. I can't help but wonder if we really need another toy gun for kids to shoot their classmates with. Maybe it would be better if it was a chocolate heart making kit and the next time some angry kids goes to school he pulls out a box of chocolates and hands them around instead of an assault rifle.Scion
Children don't need preform toy weapons they have been improvising toys as long as there have been human children. Having a clear hit/miss scoring system actually reduces real fighting.Slowburn
Yeah, with today's discourse over gun control and school shootings, I imagine it's hard to sell parents on a toy gun that looks like an assault rifle and actually shoots a projectile, especially at $45 a pop.citizenchan

Papervampire: Thanks!
Andres333: Thanks, glad you find this sketchbook inspiring
Vatteh: Keeping it up!
Haven't been drawing a lot lately, been busy with freelance and other things. Here's something of mine that was published recently in Dragons Magazine #388 though. First gig for Wizards of the Coast so I was pretty excited about it.
I've also been working on a new car design project for a contest over at Local Motors, but since most of it is analog right now and I don't have a scanner nearby it'll have to wait until another update here I guess.
August 2nd, 2010 #723
Great update man. Love the background on the elf pic. Can't wait to see those traditional car designs of yours!

LordVenom: Thanks! Here's a bunch of pages with stuff for that car design competition for you
Fetsch: Thank you!
I finally got around to scan some of the pages in my sketchbook for the car design competition I mentioned earlier. Since I somehow managed to make a sort of logic story in my sketchbook I'll just post the pages in order. It's a lot of reading at the beginning as that shows most of the research I did, but the last few pages have a lot more sketches going on as I started to figure out where I wanted to go with my design. I've filled a few more pages after I scanned these in, so this is only half the process so far.

i'm loving it
great to see your process, sometimes i like sketches even more than the final piece, because they show that you're trying to solve a problem

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! I absolutely vole old car designs. I'm more taken by the T models, but i absolutely love the direction you went in with your more modern cars! Great update, please share more of your process work, this is what i love about sketchbooks
August 9th, 2010 #728
Excellent work Guido!!
Really great job on the D+D designs (though to be honest I'm not sure about that elf - though if memory serves me correct their elves did often seem a bit too sharply featured).
However what I really love is how you've storyboarded your thought process behind the car designs (I may have to rob that method for my architectural designs in college next semester! ). Excellent job on displaying so much information with such clarity!!
Keep up the great work!!!

andres333: Thanks!
LordVenom: Hehe yeah I appreciate the T-model too, but they were already rather obsolete in 1927 (hence the Ford A-model was introduced). Also, it's a car that was produced in large volumes while Local Motors only makes specialized cars in small series
MacTire: Yeh there's some pretty specific guidelines for the races in the D&D world.
SirCrazlot: Thank you!
Here's the rest of the process on my Local Motors entry! I finished it yesterday and it's up for voting now, so if you want you can go over here and vote on my entry

Daaaaamn. That is some nice concept work, Guido! I loved reading through the sketchbook pages and the sketches themselves are gorgeous. The finished presentation is awesome! Congratulations.
August 18th, 2010 #742
I'm really glad I bumped into this thread this morning. Your drawings are so inspiring. My only crit would be that you could go around the drawings with a little bit of eraser. This is a really interesting and different Sb here in Ca and i hope you'll keep it that way in the future. Five stars from me too.

Hmh, I know why I haven´t been around CA a lot lately. Your progress is filling me with envy
Great stuff, Guido!

Hey Yoitisi,
your stuff looks great! I really enjoy seeing your work progress from the initial drawing to a finished piece. It's awesome to see how an artist works through the various stages of a piece! Thanks for sharing your work!
If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all.

Time for a small update! I finally had some spare time this weekend to work on a new pin-up for the blog contest:
The contest is still open for a few days, everyone can enter so give it a shot if you have time! It's mainly just for fun but there's a small prize for the winner. You can find the contest here:

Also, pigs! I drew these as a warm up to one of the jobs I did the past few weeks, it was for a exploratory session about pig farms in the future. Had to do these from my mind as I didn't have any ref with me unfortunately. Top one is from the first day, other one is from the second day.

Attacks by Afghans on US troops often personal
WASHINGTON Supposedly friendly Afghan security forces have attacked U.S. and coalition troops 45 times since May 2007, U.S. officials say, for the first time laying out details and analysis of attacks that have killed 70 and wounded 110.
In testimony prepared for delivery Wednesday to the House Armed Services Committee, defense officials said that in most cases the Afghans acted out of personal motivation and were not controlled or directed by insurgent groups. The second most common circumstances involved insurgents impersonating or infiltrating Afghan security forces.
Such insider attacks by Afghan security forces have been on the rise, punctuated by the Jan. 20 shooting of four French troops by an Afghan soldier, which prompted France to halt its training program and threaten to withdraw its forces from Afghanistan earlier than planned. The incidents further erode support for the increasingly unpopular war in Afghanistan, and add more complications to the already difficult mission of U.S. forces.
The figures do not include an incident Wednesday in which an Afghan soldier shot and killed a NATO service member in southern Afghanistan. International forces and the Afghan army disagreed on exactly what happened in the killing. A spokesman for the international military force said Afghan soldiers detained the gunman after he attacked NATO troops Tuesday night. Afghan National Army commander Sayed Malluk confirmed the shooting, but said the Afghan soldier told investigators it was an accident.
The U.S. defense officials' testimony, obtained by The Associated Press in advance of Wednesday's hearing, lays out the screening process for Afghan nationals who are brought in to provide security for U.S. forces. And it includes improvements in the program made after an attack at Forward Operating Base Frontenac in March 2011 that killed two U.S. soldiers and wounded four others. The base is in Kandahar Province in southern Afghanistan, and lawmakers have been demanding details about the incident.
"The insider threat is an issue of increasing significance to coalition forces and Afghan National Security Forces operating in Afghanistan," the defense officials said. "It creates distrust between our forces and their Afghan counterparts during a critical juncture in Afghanistan."
Among the officials scheduled to present the data to the committee are Deputy Assistant Defense Secretary David Sedney and Brig. Gen. Stephen Townsend, who is the Pentagon's director of the Pakistan-Afghanistan coordination group.
While there have been some instances of insurgents secretly joining the Afghan security forces, officials said it is difficult to determine how often that has happened because the infiltrator often remains undetected. Insurgents can easily disguise themselves as Afghan security forces and have been doing so more often, the military said, noting that the attackers simply obtain and wear Afghan uniforms.
Overall, however, officials said most attacks have come from members of the Afghan forces "acting intentionally yet independently" without any direct guidance from outside insurgent groups. They are generally spurred by personal motivations, grievances, ideological differences or even combat stress.
Until now, Pentagon officials had not released figures on the number of incidents. But the officials said there have been 42 incidents involving Afghan security forces and three others involving private security company personnel. In most cases the assault involved small arms fire.

Compiz and DVD Playback.
I'm using Compiz with Fedora Core 6 with 96.25 driver.
I've got an Athlon XP1800+, GeForce Ti500, 512Mb di RAM.
When compiz is running DVD playback is quite slow.
Is this a problem of NVIDIA Beta Driver or my PC is really too slow to play a DVD with Compiz?

I also tried Prowl with my hedgehog, who is the pickiest eater. She won't even touch any insects, which is part of their main diet. However, she ate up the little sample of Prowl that I gave her! I definitely recommend this food!

Perfect nude shade - pale, not too pink, not too orange. However, this is kind of drying (duh, MATTE). Still this needs either a gloss applied on top or a balm applied beneath. Gorgeous shade though.

I'm in another pale lip phase and since I'm traveling at the moment, I don't have as easy access to my usual items..so I picked this up...I could have sworn I brought my MAC Creme d' Nude, but I can't find it :( Nude Attitude is bad you guys. The color is fine and is comparable to MAC Myth, but even as one who loves matte lipsticks, this texture is so chalky and it highlights any tiny imperfection you have in your lips, so they must truly be in perfect condition. It also goops up after an hour or so of wear. Plus, it's like, $10...I realize $10 is not much in the scope of DS makeup, but for $5, you could pick up a stick of the superior MAC Myth, so I would urge you to either buy Nude Attitude from a place with a good return policy in case you hate it, or spend just a little bit more for something of better quality (MAC Myth). I'm tossing this tube since I'm traveling at the moment and I just don't have the time or patience to keep up with a product that I have to *make* work for me.
TIPS: make sure your lips are in perfect condition, then lightly dab on some balm—then blot that off. Trust me on this, if there's too much balm, Nude Attitude will goop up quickly (it goops up on me eventually anyway). Then lightly dab/swipe the color on. Because it's so chalky, it'll go on blotchy, so you'll have to work it in with your finger.

Yuk. This is chalky and not flattering at all. Thankfully, I tried this and bought the item thinking it would look fine in the natural light. Not so. Have kept the receipt and as its unopened, it will go back,
A bit like myth but chalky and the Matt look is not plumping and glam at all.
It's a really light concealer color. I am very fair skinned and cannot wear this. In the shop light the color was okay but went for a coffee and checked.
Oh my oh my...no way!

I want to love this lipstick, but it really falls short. The colour is just bad. Waaay too pale, and i'm quite pale skinned! This lipstick makes me look really washed out. It also goes on blotchy, especially if your lips are remotely dry or chapped. It clings to any little dry patch. It's also very drying...which I wouldn't mind (because you can always use gloss) if it wasn't so blotchy. Love revlon, hate this product.

I am a huge fan of nude lipsticks , in fact I hardly buy any other colored lipsticks. This particular one was mentioned as one of the best nude lipsticks to buy on quite a few beauty blogs but I was very disappointed after buying it. I am very fair and have very red lips and this did nothing for me, it completely washed me out. I looked sick. I didn't use it again for ages until one day bored and playing around with my makeup I decided to try it on again, I thought it looked like I was wearing foundation on my lips so I decided to apply another darker more vibrant Nude of mine over and it actually ended up looking quite good! Although I probably would not buy this lipstick again , I really don't think it is a bad product at all I just personally think it is much better suited for darker skinned women and would look really nice with smoky eyes, a touch of bronzer and long lashes, like Kim Kardashian's make up look.

After seeing Lisa Eldrige use this lipstick in her 'Cat-Eye' video, I rushed out and bought it because the colour looked amazing on the model, complimenting a dramatic winger eyeliner look. In the bullet it looked alarmingly pale but I trusted Lisa and bought it. I was so disappointed when I got home and applied it, it was an unflattering cool-toned nude which drained the colour out of my face and clung onto any tiny dry patches of skin. I abandoned this lipstick for a while until on a whim, I decided to tone down Mauve It Over-another matte lipstick from Revlon. It looked amazing. I definitely agree with the other positive reviews-it is all about trail and error with this lipstick. It is by no means a quick-fix get up and go lip product. Application is essential in achieving the right look. But now I've got the knack of mixing it with darker lipsticks or dabbing it sparingly on my lips to bring down the colour- I wouldn't want to be without it.

This is the ugliest nude shade, ever. It's way too pale. This nude washes me out so bad. It made my lips look super dry too and knowing me, i'm a chap stick addict so my lips are not dry! It borders looking like death...

I hate this lipstick. It looked ORANGE on my lips! It didn't stay in place either; and I'm not talking about fading or feathering! It's a poor lipstick and I regret buying it. Luckily, it came off easily. Then again, I don't think that's a good thing. I swiped it off with some tissue and it came off like nothing. When I was applying it, I felt like I was applying clay to my lips and it moved around like wet clay. It even looked like clay! It doesn't stick to your lips and it just frustrated me. I don't plan on buying Revlon lipstick anymore. I would have bought the brand I wanted if I had the money.

Applied directly from the bullet on to anything less than mint condition lips, and this lipstick is a tragedy. Delivery is everything! Applied to prepped lips with either a brush building the pigment slowly or a light blotting action with your fingers with a little bit of vaseline to smooth everything out, it is terrifically pretty. I realise that mixing vaseline with a matte finish product is probably not what most people had in mind in terms of what they bought the lipstick for, so my lower rating reflects that.
I bought this lipstick because it was the product used by Lisa Eldridge on Clemence Poesy for the April Vogue 2010 photoshoot- and it looked so wonderful on her. I had read all the bad reviews in advance but was still determined to make it work for me! I think the colour of this lipstick is really beautiful- in the case it looks like a pale, tawny, slightly orange leaning shade but it gives my lips a very sweet, muted, soft beige tone. Formula wise, on it's own I don't actually find it too drying at all and mixed with a little lip balm it is even better :) I have given the packaging rating a 2 because the one that I bought was quite stiff and hard to pull the lid off. This might just be an anomaly but thought it was worth mentioning.

multiline strings for javascript
multiline strings for javascript
this technique takes advantage of
var heredoc = require'heredoc' var str = heredoc /* within this comment block, any text will be treated as pre-formatted multiline text (kinda like html
) */ console.logstr
You can also strip leading indentation:
var text = heredocstrip /*
indented strings are fine.

the preceding spaces will be shrinked.
  */
will result in:

indented strings are fine.

the preceding spaces will be shrinked.

heredoc defines itself as an AMD module for use in AMD environments.
$ npm install heredoc
thanks to @izs - I first saw this technique when reading through npm source. I find it to be much neater than lots of manual string concatenation.


text: Dee Cody (Rende Rae Norman) is a cold, perhaps even psychopathic woman, who has a problem with issues of trust. She doesn't give any, and her twisty ways make it difficult even for her daughter (Tuesday Knight), who is in cahoots with her, to trust her. When the two of them hire a good-looking young gunman (Billy Wirth) to help round out the team they are putting together to pull off a robbery, it only multiplies the distrust issue. In addition, the sexual chemistry and romantic longing the man puts out throws a difficult new factor into the equation. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Baker mourns loss of recent graduate
June 12, 2008
The Baker University campus is mourning the loss of recent Baker graduate Jeremy Frye, who died Tuesday, June 10, in Olathe after being hospitalized nearly two months as he battled cancer.
Frye, a music education major from Overland Park, was presented a Baker diploma on Saturday.
"Jeremy, you were such a wonderful addition to the class setting and your sense of curiosity and willingness to actively participate in all discussions left me with fond memories," said Peggy Harris, dean of the School of Education, during the diploma presentation. " Your personality and your smile ... yes ... your big Jeremy smile, was always there each day."
A celebration of Frye's life will be held at 4 p.m. on Monday, June 16, at Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church, College Boulevard and Nieman Road followed by a gathering of family and friends in the church's Heartland Fellowship Hall.

Dust Storm over Aral Sea
September 11, 2006
Another dust storm struck the South Aral Sea on September 1, 2006. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) flying onboard NASA's Aqua satellite took a picture the same day. Although it produced less dramatic dust plumes than the June 13 storm, this storm covered both the eastern and western portions of the South Aral Sea.
Dry lakebed sediments provide ample material for dust storms, and that was probably the case in this storm. Although a dam designed to restore the North Aral Sea showed encouraging progress, the South Aral Sea remained surrounded by a dried-up lakebed, partially diminished by irrigation projects.

Goldstone Retracts Israeli War Crimes Claim
Author of eponymous report asserts Israel did not target civilians
Richard Goldstone, the South African judge who headed the U.N. Human Rights Council investigation into the 2008-9 Gaza conflict, announced Friday in an op-ed that, basically, he was wrong: Contrary to the Goldstone Report's finding that there was evidence that Israel committed war crimes and crimes against humanity, new evidence—stemming largely from Israeli probes into the Israel Defense Force's conduct—demonstrates that there was no Israeli policy of targeting Palestinian civilians, which was the main basis of allegations of potential war crimes. (That Hamas, by contrast, intentionally targeted Israeli civilians "goes without saying," he said.)
Here is the key paragraph: "The allegations of intentionality by Israel were based on the deaths of and injuries to civilians in situations where our fact-finding mission had no evidence on which to draw any other reasonable conclusion. While the investigations published by the Israeli military and recognized in the U.N. committee's report have established the validity of some incidents that we investigated in cases involving individual soldiers, they also indicate that civilians were not intentionally targeted as a matter of policy."
So the man whose name is literally synonymous with the allegation that Israel committed war crimes during the Gaza conflict now says Israel did no such thing. (Haaretz reports that he may have felt swayed by a debate last week at Stanford over the Report, which he attended.) What might be even more validating than Goldstone's admission itself is who and what he attributes it to: The Israeli army. He wrote his op-ed, he said, in light of a new report, released several months ago, that found (he quotes from it), "Israel has dedicated significant resources to investigate over 400 allegations of operational misconduct in Gaza." For Israel's army to be vindicated through its own honorable scrupulousness is quite a thing. Those (like myself) who worry about the trajectory of Israel's government should feel consoled that its increasingly right-wing and religious character has apparently not bled much into the military.
Having said that, most of the people reading this blogpost were already quite sure the Report was wrong, and didn't need Goldstone to tell them so. As Goldstone aptly explains it, the Report essentially saw dead civilians and, without any further evidence, assumed intentionality, when in fact, the IDF's track record of attempting to minimize civilian casualties, combined with Hamas's track record of using civilians as human shields to either deter retaliation or provoke outcry when retaliation kills civilians, should have moved the mission to find unintentionality; in this case, according to Goldstone himself, subsequent evidence proved them right and him wrong. (Incredibly, he is still doing this: "Our fact-finding mission had no evidence on which to draw any other reasonable conclusion," he writes, when the notion that Israel was not deliberately targeting civilians was—given that it turned out to actually be true—probably a pretty reasonable conclusion to draw.)
Goldstone's mea culpa will also mean little to the (I'd guess smaller) percentage of readers who will just not believe the man, or will argue that Israel nonetheless maintains overwhelming responsibility for those civilian deaths. Certainly broader criticism of Israel's Gaza policy have not been wiped out by one man's admission that his extreme accusations turned out to be wrong.
So the question becomes: What is the result of Goldstone's admission?
I think the shaping Israeli consensus, as reported by the New York Times, gets it right: While much of the damage the Report did cannot be undone, the next time Israel is responding to rockets aimed at its civilians—whether it is Hamas from Gaza or Hezbollah from Lebanon—the international community (and particularly, I would suspect, Western officials) will likely grant Israel much more of the benefit of the doubt in assessing how it responds than they otherwise would have.
I think translating Goldstone's op-ed into Turkish is a great idea that isn't going to accomplish very much.
I think it's odd that both Prime Minister Netanyahu and various American groups are calling on the United Nations to retract the report altogether. If your original position was that the report was illegitimate, then this shouldn't change anything. Besides, from a realpolitik standpoint, if I were Israel I would think twice about implicitly lending the U.N. its endorsement, given the Palestinian strategy to achieve statehood via the international body.
I am not sure what I think about Goldstone's argument that, had Israel cooperated with him from the outset (which it completely refused to do), he would have found this evidence back then, the Report would have been "a different document," and there wouldn't be this mess in the first place. Just as likely, much of the evidence Goldstone now relies upon took more time to uncover than his mission spent, and so the mission, with its faulty assumptions, would have made similar findings. Still, it is an interesting counterfactual, and if there is another occasion for a similar mission, the experience of this one may affect the next one in a way that does credit to Israel's vindication here.

The South Ayrshire region
This is a traditional holiday area in the UK and recently has been enjoying a revival due to the mild climate, excellent facilities, wonderful welcome and brilliant food.
There is lots to do for both children and adults from world class golf courses, to fishing, boat trips, theme parks, stately homes, gardens, shopping, markets and so on!
It is also home to the only dark skies park in the UK.
Thanks to the gulf stream it is consistently warmer and sunnier in this part of the Uk, as can be testified by the many palm trees growing everywhere.

"The House With The View"

I am so glad the reviewer had great weather and enjoyed the picture postcard views.
The missing mini fridge in the upstairs lounge is my fault, it was too noisy and interrupted the sound of the waves so I ordered a silent dual wine fridge which arrives this week.It took a while to find a silent one!
The missing kitchen bin is also my fault as I hate them and find them to be very dirty and messy! If any guest really needs a kitchen bin we do have one so just ask.
The hairdryer may have been packed inadvertently by guests so I will order a new one.
Its lovely having guests who appreciate the very special surroundings we have so much- many thanks!

While I am glad that the reviewer enjoyed the house and fabulous views I am very sorry that the house was not as clean as it should have been on this occasion. My housekeeper has worked with me since the house was opened as a holiday let and she is fabulous and is extremely popular and helpful with guests.
We are all human however and mistakes can be made, and on this occasion the hot tub required extra time spent on it to ensure that it was safe and sparkling to use and this may have impacted negatively on the time available for cleaning meaning that some cobwebs, dusting and oven pans were missed.
We have gone over housekeeping arrangements to ensure that the cleaniness of the house matches the wonderful views everytime.
I am quite sure that this was a one off occurance and that guests will have no reason to doubt the cleaniness of the house in the future. Many thanks for your review.

I am so glad that this guest enjoyed their stay and I am especially delighted that an 89 year old could enjoy the lovely views. We are aware that stairs are not ideal for older guests- we have added bannisters and made them as customer friendly as possible.There is a downstairs lounge and downstairs ensuite bedroom however the most delightful views are in the first floor lounge so its worth the climb! The old oven door was a complete nuisance- we have replaced the cooker with a lovely range cooker big enough to cook a feast!

Q. "There's a sticker inside my Memoirs toilet tank lid that says I should use a different flush valve. Do you offer any other parts? Which flush valve should I use?"
A. For certain years and models of the Kohler Memoirs toilet, a sticker that looks like this is on the inside of the tank lid with the replacement flush valve #1080691 - this is simply a typographical error. The correct number for the replacement canister flush valve is #1080961, which we currently offer above. The #1080961 canister flush valve is the one that should fit your toilet if the sticker on your tank lid matches what is shown here.
Q. "The GP1138930 comes with some colored inserts. What are those for?"
A.Since the Kohler GP1138930 is a replacement for a variety of fill valves, it comes with a selection of color coded flow restrictors. To select the correct insert, check your old fill valve (the one you're replacing) and use the same color restrictor on your new GP1138930 fill valve. See example of the four included restrictors.
