So much for the rampant rumours (well, rampant throughout France anyway) that the UAE's long-delayed fighter contract was a done-deal for the Rafale.Everything we know about the United Arab Emirates fighter modernisation plans have turned upside down within the first 24h of the Dubai Air Show. Quick summary: Dassault Rafale still in, Saab Gripen still […]

Eurofighter forecasts new Brazil-Turkey fighter in 2025
As part of its KF-X presentation at the Seoul Air Show on 21 October, Eurofighter representative Cassidian displayed a fascinating chart with a fighter market forecast.

FARN10: Boeing does strike fighters
The title of the briefing was "The Strike Fighter Evolution", and the briefer was Boeing vice president and general manager for global strike systems Shelley Lavender. In my experience, a briefing with such a title is unpromising: Lots of generic information and references to "generations", but little in the way of news. But this briefing […]
Inside Phantom Works
I wish the photo above came from inside Boeing's Phantom Works facility in St. Louis, which I toured yesterday morning. The image actually comes from inside the next building we toured, where the C-130 avionics modernization program (AMP) was briefed.But you can't take cameras, cell phones, tape recorders, laptops and possibly even in hearing aids […]
Sweet Super Hornet photo in Australia
Cheers to the Royal Australian Air Force for releasing a series of lovely new photos of Boeing's pride-and-joy, the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet. The aircraft apparently can't impress the Canadians this week, but it still looks good in a photo.
Doomsday scenario for F-35B/C?
Here's a scary scenario for the Fort Worth crowd:The US Navy, seeking to overcome a tactical aircraft shortfall that peaks in 2017, decides to buy 126 more Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornets from 2011 to 2015. At the same time, the 8,000hr service life for 509 Hornets is extended by 600hr. To offset that cost, 93 […]
Boeing plots return to next-generation fighter market
Copyright: Boeing Boeing graciously heeded my pleas to interview someone about their 1/16th scale model and poster (above) at Navy League displaying two concepts for an all-new fighter jet that would appear after 2025.

Sadly, Finland "frankenhornet" crashes

O Globo: Saab Gripen claims popular lead in F-X2 race
O Globo, a national Brazilian newspaper, asked online readers to vote on who would win the air force's F-X2 contract.

Taking into account the apathy towards the girl child, Government on Thursday introduced a new scheme called "Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao" and allocated Rs 100 crore for this in the union budget.
Presenting the union budget 2014-15 in the parliament, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said that it is a "shame that while the country has emerged as a major player amongst the emerging market economies, the apathy towards girl child is still quite rampant in many parts of the country".
The scheme, he said, will help in generating awareness and improve the efficiency of delivery of welfare services meant for women."Government would focus on campaigns to sensitize people of this country towards the concerns of the girl child and women", he said.
The process of sensitization must begin early and therefore the school curriculum must have a separate chapter on gender mainstreaming," Jaitley said in his budget speech.
At a time when the country is confronted with women safety issues, government proposed Rs 150 crore to be spent by Ministry of Home Affairs on a scheme to increase the safety of women in large cities.
The budget also proposed that the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways will spend Rs 50 crore on pilot testing a scheme for safety of women on Public Road Transport.
Further, government proposed setting up "Crisis Management Centres" in all the districts of Delhi this year in all government and private hospitals, funding for which will be provided from the Nirbhaya Fund, the Minister added.

Wimbledon... the movie?
Have you guys seen this? Apparently there's a movie coming out in September called Wimbledon.
Synopsis: A British tennis player (Paul Bettany), once top-ranked, has fallen to 157th in the world. Generally considered to be on his last legs as a professional player, he gets one last chance over the course of two short weeks to win both the All-England Lawn Tennis Championships on the grassy courts of Wimbledon... and the heart of the rising star "bad girl of tennis" (Kirsten Dunst).
Yikes... anyone gonna go catch this? On one side, at least they're actually doing a movie that involves tennis... but I dunno, could be pretty cheesy.
Yes, I saw some of these movies before. One of the best won the Academy Award and was based on the story of 2 men: a club fighter who went the distance against Ali and a man who had over 30 movie screenplays rejected before his first one bowled over Hollywood. Another fave of mine is "Hoosiers." If the movie you are talking about is anything like these, I'll love it. Some of these movies can be cheesy and excellent at the same time. I hope they change the title to "Wimby."
Sorry to burst any bubbles out there but you can watch the trailer on http://movies.yahoo.com/movies/feature/wimbledon.html.
It's apparent that Wimby serves as the pretext and backdrop of a love story but who knows? Some would argue that Rockywas a love story too...
If it's any hint, this movie is brought you by the same folks who were involved in Bridget Jones' Diary...
It'll be interesting to see the action sequences for obvious reasons.
Well I wish to inform you that I have been approached by the director of the film and he has asked me to be the stunt double for Paul Bettany.
He said he wanted me for my "all round world class tennis game". And Kirsten Dunst wanted me as her partner for all the "difficult" scenes.
I will let you know how I get on with the film, apparently my character beats Roddick, Henman, and Federer in the quarters, semis and final respectively.
Tough job, but hey, someone has to do it!
good one ismarshall
Looks pretty cheesy, its probally just another notting hill (great movie though)
I wonder whos really the lucky one to play all the stunts
Anyone remember the tennis movie that I think starred Vince Van Patten? I recall he plays in a major final--maybe Wimbledon. I did a search on google, but couldn't find a reference. I'm not thinking of the movie Van Patten wrote in 1995. This is older than that and he was the star, not the playwright or director.
I guess I must be thinking of the Break, but I thought I saw it in the 80s.
I remember that it really sucked, but I still watched it.
Didn't Vince Van Patten submit some movie script where some actor/tennis player beats John McEnroe at the Japan Open...2 years in a row? What a farce! Oh...yeah, now I remember.
Finally! It's about time they make a movie about tennis!
Perfect, a chick flick for my wife, tennis for me.
Yes, I think that's the one. Thanks Captain!
Ah yeah, Dean-Paul Martin. Hey, don't forget he was also part of the 60s band Dino Desi & Billy. Or maybe you would like to forget that. Died in a tragic aviation accident in 1987.
Here's a pic from Players. You can buy the photo or the movie, if you're so inclined, on ****. Amazing what you can find on ****.
hey man, kirsten dunst is really hot, wimbledon ****ing rules and paul bettany is funny guy. and hey anything semi based on goran's story is pretty damn cool.
So um.. are those racquets in the movie, paint jobs? (ducks for cover..)
This is great for the sport. Tennis never touches mainstream culture like other sports do. I don't know when this will come out but hopefully it will happen close to when the US Open starts so it has the chance to get more people interested in tennis and draw them into watching the US Open.
Morpheus - I thought you were thinking about the time an actor really did beat John McEnroe in the same tournament 2 years in a row. Beats fiction, imo!

Walter "Marty" Smith and his wife, Sarah Smith, seem a little embarrassed about the attention they are getting lately.
"I don't feel like we've done anything really special," Sarah said.
Social workers in Ohio disagree. The Public Children Services Association of Ohio, an association of agencies providing services to children, recently named the Smiths the state's foster family of the year.
The couple will be honored at a banquet next week.
Erie County Job and Family Services officials nominated the Smiths.
They're "amazing" foster parents, give advice and support to other foster families and help recruit foster parents at events, said Aaron Voltz, administrator of the Social Services Unit at Erie County Job and Family Services.
"They are truly an example of people who are dedicated," Voltz said.
The Smiths, reluctant to step into the spotlight, said they agreed to be interviewed and photographed to promote the need for more foster families in Erie County.
It's also helpful to publicize the fact that many foster families do a good job, Marty said.
"You never see anyone in the news, except for negative stuff," he said. "It can be a good experience. It's hurting the kids when everybody shies away from it."
He said he and his wife have a straightforward philosophy.
"They're just kids. Every kid needs love," Marty said. "Kids aren't evil. Kids are what you've shown."
Marty, 42, manages an electrical crew for Valley Electric. His co-workers know him as "Walt." Sarah, 41, is a social worker who provides career advice at EHOVE.
The couple have three children: Jacob, 11, Lilly, 11, and Sarah, 8, known as "Sarah Liz" to distinguish her from Mom, who is known as "Sarah Jane."
The family tried calling them Big Sarah and Little Sarah at first, but neither Sarah liked those names.
The two daughters are former foster children the Smiths later adopted.
A framed photograph shows the family the day the adoption was completed. They went to a Japanese steakhouse restaurant to celebrate.
Structure, education and love are stressed in the Smith household.
"Our job is to work," Marty said. "Their job is to learn."
Faith is also a big part of their lives. The Smiths belong to a large local church, The Chapel.
"Our faith has been an important part of it," Sarah said. "Our faith has been a resource."
Church members have provided toys and clothing and offered to baby-sit, the couple said.
Voltz said Job and Family Services hopes more families such as the Smiths will step forward and provide a foster home so kids are able to remain in the same schools and community while they are in the custody of the county.
"We are incredibly eager to get more foster homes," Voltz said. "We have children placed outside of our community because we don't have enough foster homes to meet the needs."
Small stipends are offered to families who will help, he said.
The Smiths said Erie County Job and Family Services provides help and support to families who agree to be foster families.
"You're not really alone," Marty said. "They don't just drop the kid at your house and run away."

Biggest Shoes To Fill
By Richard Cirminiello
Biggest Shoes To Fill - The Early Entries

Biggest Shoes To Fill - The Early Entries
One of the many trappings of college football is that it's forever changing, a perennial revolving door of talent and new faces on every campus and in every corner of the map. Out with the old and in with the new. Yeah, of course you'll miss watching the likes of LB Greg Jones and DE Ryan Kerrigan. Terrific kids and defenders, but those pangs will last a few hours, or about as long as it takes for you to scare up some video clips of their successors.
Like the changing of the seasons, college football proceeds at a pace that's about as anticipated as spring following winter. The junior becomes a senior, the sophomore becomes a junior, the freshman becomes a sophomore, and the redshirt is removed from a whole mess of last year's rookies. It's a timeless process that moves with all of the precision of a fine timepiece.
The sport has lost a slew of senior stars since the end of the bowl season. Big deal. In their place is a collection of young and relatively inexperienced players eagerly pining to fill the void.
11. Buh-bye: Florida State G Rodney Hudson
Hello: Jacob Fahrenkrug– The Seminoles did not travel all the way to North Dakota State College of Science to sign a backup. While Hudson is the best offensive lineman to ever play for Florida State, that won't unnerve a 6-4, 320-pounder who many believe was the best junior college transfer in America. Already on campus, he's hoping to blend his physicality and attention to detail with line coach Rick Trickett's mentoring to someday become one of the ACC's premier blockers. The JUCO All-American has two seasons of eligibility left, with the expectation that both will be spent as an integral part of the lineup.
10. Buh-bye: Texas DE Sam Acho
Hello: Jackson Jeffcoat – The graduations of Acho and Eddie Jones subtract more than half of the Horns' 29 sacks from a year ago. Someone will need to step up and start filling the void. Jeffcoat hopes to be that guy in his second year in Austin. One of the country's top recruits of 2010, he had a fast start stalled by an ankle injury, finishing with 13 tackles, three tackles for loss, and 1.5 sacks. Even with limited exposure, it was obvious why major programs from coast to coast were pining for his signature. He has the natural build of a pass rusher, using long arms and good feet to get off the edge. The sky is the limit for the sophomore, who has the talent and the opportunity to make a big splash this fall.
9. Buh-bye: Nebraska CB Prince Amukamara
Hello: Ciante Evans – While Evans wasn't one of the nation's top-rated cornerbacks a year ago, he sure looked as if he was underrated once he got on the field. Working his way up the depth chart shortly after arriving from Arlington, Tex., he eventually moved up to No. 3 corner behind Amukamara and holdover Alfonzo Dennard. When Dennard was injured versus Missouri in early November, Evans came off the bench and made a couple of big plays to preserve the win. Although he plays with the swagger and pop of a safety, he also possesses improving cover skills, lending hope that the Huskers will continue to be home to one of the nation's better pass defenses.
8. Buh-bye: Wisconsin T Gabe Carimi
Hello: Ricky Wagner – How good is Wisconsin at developing offensive linemen? The kid projected to supplant the 2010 Outland Trophy winner has a chance to be the Badgers' best blocker this season. As a sophomore, Wagner began to bloom in Madison, starting the final 10 games on the right side in place of injured Josh Oglesby, and earning All-Big Ten honorable mention. This season, he'll be switching to the left side to fill the void left by Carimi. A 6-6, 322-pounder, who began his college career without a scholarship, he just keeps getting better with each passing year. A former basketball player and tight end in high school, he has incredible feet for such a big athlete and a future that's going to include an NFL career.
7. Buh-bye: Nevada QB Colin Kaepernick
Hello: Tyler Lantrip – The graduation of Kaepernick signifies the end of an era in Reno, one marked by a considerable number of records and big moments. If nothing else, Chris Ault will be able to hand the ball to a senior during the transition period if he chooses. Lantrip has been around the system for four years and knows the nuances of the Pistol offense. Although he may not have a higher ceiling than, say, redshirt freshman Cody Fajardo, he probably gives the Pack its best shot of keeping the momentum going in 2011. The No. 2 guy over the last two seasons, he's rarely gotten reps, attempting just 23 passes and running the ball a couple dozen times during his career.
6. Buh-bye: Oklahoma RB DeMarco Murray
Hello: Brennan Clay – Whether or not there's another Murray on the roster remains to be seen. However, the Sooners will have a bunch of interesting young options with which to replace him. Clay was a five-star recruit from San Diego a year ago, but an injury in September limited him to just 36 carries for 127 carries. He has feature back potential. In his place, scatback Roy Finch, from the same class, finished second on the team with 398 yards and two scores on 85 carries. Both will spend the offseason trying to hold off rookie Brandon Williams, who's already taking classes in Norman. Another five-star get for Bob Stoops' staff, he's the biggest of the trio and not content to simply learn from the sidelines in his debut.
5. Buh-bye: TCU QB Andy Dalton
Hello: Casey Pachall TCU without Dalton will be like Fort Worth without Sundance Square. It's going to take a while to get used to. He was a four-year fixture with the Frogs, but the staff knows he rubbed off on Pachall. About to enter his third year with the program, the sophomore-to-be was last year's backup, appearing in eight games and throwing nine passes. At least in the early going, as he hones his passing skills, he can lean a little heavier on his legs. A terrific all-around athlete, who'll flourish on read-option plays, he ran for 94 yards and two scores on only 15 carries. He has a long and lean frame, and once he fills out and proves he can make all of the throws, he'll have a chance to be a dangerous dual-threat in the form of former Nevada QB Colin Kaepernick.
4. Buh-bye: Iowa DE Adrian Clayborn
Hello: Broderick Binns – Not only must the Hawkeyes replace Clayborn, but Christian Ballard as well. This is one of those times when a veteran, like Binns, is a luxury for a coaching staff. Last season never materialized up to expectations for the rising senior. He got into some off-field trouble in the summer, fell behind on the depth chart, and ended up being a non-factor. However, this is the same player who started 13 games as a sophomore, turning 10 tackles for loss, six sacks, and a team-high nine pass breakups into honorable mention All-Big Ten recognition. With a starring role and scouts watching intently, he's capable of turning his final year in Iowa City into one big audition for the NFL.
3. Buh-bye: Oklahoma State RB Kendall Hunter
Hello: Joseph Randle – The Cowboys began preparing for life after Hunter in 2010, breaking the seal on Randle whenever it was possible. He immediately showed why he was one of the nation's top recruits at the position, rushing for 452 yards, catching 37 passes for 427 yards, and contributing on special teams. The flash in a sophomore backfield that'll also employ powerful Jeremy Smith, he has the track speed to get to the edge and into a secondary in a hurry. He's also versatile, a big plus in the Oklahoma State offense, running with keen vision and doing a great job as a receiver out of the backfield. In an attack built to produce playmakers, he has all the tools to emerge as one of the Big 12's next big offensive stars.
2. Buh-bye: Michigan State LB Greg Jones
Hello: Max Bullough – As much as Jones, an all-timer in East Lansing, will be missed, the Michigan State staff remains very optimistic about his successor. Bullough has a promising future with the program that's about to go into overdrive beginning this September. A third-generation Spartan, he'll be following in the footsteps of his grandfather, Hank, and father, Shane. As a rookie, he earned a letter by appearing in all 13 games, making 21 tackles and standing out on special teams. At 6-3 and 235 pounds, he's physically ready to assume a larger role in 2011, and has the instincts and open-field tackling skills that'll bring a smile to Jones' face.
1. Buh-bye: Purdue DE Ryan Kerrigan
Hello: Antwon Higgs – No senior is leaving a bigger hole at his alma mater than Kerrigan, who was the face of the Boilermakers the last two seasons. At this time, there are no clear-cut choices of who will replace him and start opposite Gerald Gooden. Second-teamer Robert Maci is a strong possibility, but the staff might want to move Higgs up a level to see how he performs as a pass rusher. A linebacker up to this point, he possesses the athleticism and 6-3, 254-pound frame to thrive on the outside. After only playing in four games and making three tackles, the junior-to-be has a chance to turn Kerrigan's graduation into his own personal ascent up the two-deep.

Try to go to a local community lender. SBA has lenders satellite lenders it
works with that can assist you with an understanding of what is available as
a start up. You can speak to distributors after a few successful transactions
to ask for Net 30, 60, 90 terms. They can be favorable based on your need.
Best of Luck with your wholesale company!

Hi Lily Elizabeth, Do you want to register a company or just sell on the webstore? Now I am supplying products to one my customer in Singapore, which is in the same situation with you, a college students. He just sell on ebay store, and are doing very well. So if you like Chinese products, I can offer you all kinds of dresses according to your requirements. Drop-shipping is ok. Thanks, Marcus Wang My email adress: firstname.lastname@example.com Message Edited by NicoleD on 08-13-2009 08:49 AM

While the federal government does not provide start-up grants to small businesses, you may still be eligible for loans. If you're looking for a small amount of money ($35,000 or less), a microloan may be the perfect opportunity. The Quick Guide to Microloans from the Loans and Grants Advisor will give you information on the program and how to apply. Also, please check out the Small Business Loans and Grants page for more information on small business financing. Good luck with your new business venture!
phanio | Contributor | 1/18/2011 - 8:45 am
There are not many grant programs for 'for-profit' businesses. They just do not work that way. Further, not sure what you consider low interest loans. Most business loans can range from 7% + to 25% + depending on your situation, your business, your lender, your purpose and your risk. While you might not consider a 10% interest loan a low interest rate - their are other who would think that a low figure as they are paying much, much more. If you are seeking funding - try micro-credit firms, social network lenders, and sba loans. I would also suggest that you seek out and join a few of the many women organizations. These groups can help you find financing, suppliers, etc as well as be mentors to help you grow and succeed.
newliferescue | Window Shopper | 1/18/2011 - 8:45 am
If you do some research on SBA.gov Ido believe there are grants available for female owned business. It will take a bit of digging, but I know I have seen it on there while researching grants for my business.
kabean | Window Shopper | 3/4/2010 - 12:48 pm
1974 I was 21 years old when I purchased my first Hair Salon. I did not have credit to borrow the money and went to several banks for a loan. I managed to collect the $3,000 I needed to buy my first salon and then for the next 12 years owned and operated 2 more salons. BUT I was working in hair salons since I was 15 years old. I would tell any young person to first work in many different places that can give you a background on what kind of business you eventually want. You can see how things are done and you can keep the good ideas for your own business. Experience is the key!
PatMcKee | Window Shopper | 3/3/2010 - 6:38 pm
I agree with the concensus, go online. With all the responsibility and crazy hours you will have as a student, a regular store will be completely unforgiving.
Jack_P | Creator | 12/6/2009 - 2:15 pm
Hi Lily, are you sure you want to open a small business now? As you said you are a student.. You will need time to manage your business and lessons too.. I recommend you to think about it again :)
bizdev | Creator | 11/29/2009 - 2:41 pm
It is so great to see a 20 yr old with clear goals. Unfortunately, at such a young age you probably won't qualify for SBA backed loans, including micro loans. The qualifications for a microloan is basically the same as a regular loan. The criteria for SBA loans is as follows: excellent credit industry experience (management) strong collateral ability to repay loan 20% cash comes from you These requirements are very difficult to achieve. And, no, the SBA does not provide grants! It is so unfortunate that there are thousands upon thousands of entrepreneurs that have a great business idea and the passion and the know how to build a small business, but find nothing but stumbling blocks instead of help by the government. It's up to us to develop our own funding sources. Please see the blog below for one such source. By uniting together we can create change.

Hi saintdo,

Also, is the background color editable in the themes?
Thank so much for your interest
But I'm afraid that you need to mod the theme to archive those functionality
Thanks again!

Ok, no problem Saintdo
Please give me your email ; )
Just send via the form in my profile page
I have posts and pages. How do I go about adding a right-side-bar to just my posts?
I turned the right side bar on in the Granda->General->Post Layout
I cannot seem to find where to put widgets and things into the sidebar however.
Thank you Adam
In widgets area, you will find many blocks to assign the sidebar stuff. For post sidebar, please use the one called 'single sidebar'.
Hope this help
Granda is such a great theme! I have one question: how can I use images in blog posts with lightbox? Do I have to install a plugin or Granda can handle it? I didn't find anything in documentation…
Regards, José Lopes
You can use shortcodes to archive that
Please check this out > http://saintdo.me/themes/granda/?page_id=118
Hope this help
It worked fine! One more question: does this function work in galleries?
You meant in portfolio post type? If yes, then sure it works
I meant something like [gallery] in the post content.
Oh, I'm not sure about that
But I don't think it would work….
I wish to use this theme as blog and also wish to know how to enable blog style for main index page.
In admin panel, 'Home page' > 'Blog featured', select the category and turn it on
This is a great theme! The developer is very helpful and offers great support. I highly recommend it!
Thanks! really appreciated that
First of all, great theme. Looks fantastic!
2 things.
1) Is there a way to make the icons in the 4 box service clickable links? I currently have them set up as icons with the heading linking to a page, would like the icons themselves to function as a button.
2) I can't understand why though everytime I edit any features on the home page, the information I've written in the 4 box service is removed. All formatting and html is lost. Is there a reason for this?

 <img src="<?php echo $sdt_box_1_icon;?>" alt="" />
add link tag to

  <img src="<?php echo $sdt_box_1_icon;?>" alt="" />
do all 4 columns
2.) Could you provide wp account please?
You can send through the form in my profile page.
I'll try to have a look
Thanks for the help, worked perfectly.
Nevermind about the other problem. Re-installed wordpress and all seems fine.
Before I purchase I have a question. I would like to use the theme as a blog (not portfolio), but I would like the ability to have video's play from blog index like they do in the portfolio index.
Hope this makes sense.
Actually it not support that feature (blog thumbnail won't play lightbox)
BTW , you need to make some mod to support that.
Love the theme but im having trouble setting up the portfolio. I cant seem to get anything to work.
i'm looking to make a multi-level portfolio, for example: Portfolio as top level menu item then Advertising, logo design etc etc as sub level menu items.
Can you please help.
please see this vid > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOTuH2CEoeA&feature=channel_video_title
It's based for 'Goodidea' theme so a little bit different but overall hierarchy is the same
or may try this also > http://saintdo.wordpress.com/2010/04/07/hello-world/
Hope this help
Thanks for that – i've got the paghes displaying now but no images or thumbnails?here is the site… http://126.96.36.199/~salesmar/portfolio-parent/portfolio-1/#all

having an issue with the background options. in the notes there is an option to change colors and such in the dashboard but those same options do not exist on my side?
This theme can't change bg color via admin panel
Need to css it by your self.
Try to see in 'extrastyle.php' see '.body-2{'
I'm having a little problem with your theme, that gives me headaches The Page looks fine when I'm on WLAN but when I swith to mobile Internet, the Menu and the Slider won't show up, neither on Iphone nor on Ipad.
Any Ideas? I tryed already disabling all plugins, with no effort.
Sorry, I've no idea about that. It just works fine on my iPhone
I just found the answer:
T-Mobile seems to compress files on the fly when surfing on a mobile phone. This compression causes the jquery-1.6.1.min.js (and some older versions also) not to work, javascript error. The normal, uncompressed Version does work without problems. This is a big problem, since t-mobile is the biggest provider in germany.
So I found a way to make it work in another forum they say:
Possible fix: using the CDN hosted version doesn't cause this problem:http://docs.jquery.com/Downloading_jQuery#CDN_Hosted_jQuery
but how do I implend it? Any idea, how this is done quick?
best regards & thanks for the support
never mnd, just figured it out, just changed the line:
wp_register_script('jquery', get_bloginfo('template_url'). '/js/jquery-1.5.1.min.js', false, '1.5.1', false);
in js.php
wp_register_script('jquery', ("http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.min.js"), false, '1.7');
and everything works as it should, I'm so mad at T-Mobile for givin' me 3 days of extra work, till I found the bug.
So please people buy this theme it's great and easy to use, but keep in mind that T-Mobile is making jquery trouble here in germany.
Thanks and Glad that you figured it out!

Santorum Stumps for Votes in West Michigan
Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney returns to Michigan on Tuesday to campaign in Macomb County. Rick Santorum spent much of Monday courting voters at three stops in west Michigan –before heading to Arizona, which also has a primary in one week.
Santorum barely made mention of Romney during stops in Muskegon, Holland, and Grand Rapids. The two are locked in what appears to be a tightening primary fight for Michigan's delegates.
But Santorum focused his remarks on President Obama and accused him of plotting to grow government while taking away people's economic and religious freedoms.
"It will rob you of your economic rights," Santorum says. "It will rob you of all your rights. The more you give government, the bigger it gets, the smaller you get."
Santorum says the president has an agenda that will only grow more radical if he wins a second term with no worries about seeking reelection.
The rhetoric is expected to get hotter as Santorum and Romney each try to convince GOP voters that he is the Republican who should face the president on the November ballot.

2013 Bully Dog Tuner Release!!!
Well I know I can't be the only one that has been waiting for this! Good timing too as my 35's are getting put on this wed.
The Bully Dog website now lists 4.7's up to 2013.
Hottexhaust.com is selling the units for $318 shipped to Canada & USA. Use coupon code: C45P3T98NU
yup, but you might want to wait for them to get all the bugs out of it before picking one up, its been out now for about 3-4 weeks, but many are reporting some issues with some of the features, also you might want to get a catch can and install that, make sure your tank is empty and the fill it with the appropriate tune level of octane as pinging seems to be the issue with bad gas and low Octane when running the tune. I have had the BD on my 2012 4.7 for over 4 months and have not seen any issues except for the DRL turn off does not work, this may be different on the 2013.
Yup, what Asur said. The DRL lights not turning off are the only thing I've noticed wrong as well (at least that's the only thing that has not been fixed with updates). The other two issues I had were the speedo calibration not working with my new tire size and then the trans temp not displaying. Both were fixed with updates though and now everything works 100%. So far I've only ran the 87 tune but I absolutely love it, wouldn't drive the truck without the tuner installed now....

From the Publisher"the implications of Warde's conclusions for how we think about peasant economic activity, for the nature of rhetoric emplyed in disputes within the village commune, and for the interaction of the center and localities in the formation of the early modern territorial state in Europe are ample rewards for the perseverance of the nonspecialist reader." - Geoffrey Dipple, Augustana College

German Chancellor Merkel arrives at White House
Published on May 2, 2014 10:47 PM
WASHINGTON (AFP) - President Barack Obama welcomed Germany's Angela Merkel to the White House on Friday, seeking to secure united European backing for tougher sanctions on Russia's economy should the Kremlin escalate the crisis in Ukraine.
The president and the Chancellor met days after both the United States and the European Union imposed new sanctions on key political and business figures around President Vladimir Putin.
The measures followed the failure of a deal brokered in Geneva to de-escalate tensions in Ukraine and the refusal of Russia to rein in pro-Moscow separatist groups in southeastern Ukraine.
So far, the sanctions adopted by either side have been limited to personal visa and asset bans against prominent people in Putin's inner circle, branded "cronies" by the White House.

When I was a kid, Superman was a comic book hero. My older brother and my many male cousins were comic aficionados, and I was a girl who loved to read, so when I finished the latest Betty and Veronica comic, I pored over their stacks of Superman adventures. I wanted Lois Lane's job, but I was always disappointed that one measly pair of glasses on Clark Kent's face made her blind to his perfection. My brother and I sometimes watched the black-and-white TV series -- "Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's ... SUPERMAN!" -- but George Reeves, in all his flawed humanity, never really had Superman magic for me. He kind of looked like someone's dad.
That all changed when Christopher Reeve played Superman in the 1978 film, and in three sequels. In his blue-eyed Technicolor perfection, Christopher Reeve made a believer of all of us, that a man could be handsome and muscular and smart and soft-spoken and sensitive all at the same time, a strong and selfless hunk. He embodied Superman, until a tragic riding accident proved he actually was physically human. He will always be a Superman in spirit. Since then, there have been more Superman movies, including a truly muddled remake called "Superman Returns" in 2006, and 2013's incarnation, "Man of Steel," starring the latest perfect specimen of super-manhood Henry Cavill and now playing at a theater near you.
The term "superman" is sometimes mistakenly thought to refer to the ubermensch , proposed by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche in the 1880s. The ubermensch is a conceptual man who rises above the herd of humanity. Translated by George Bernard Shaw as "superman" for his 1903 play entitled "Man and Superman," the is not really divine or even otherworldly, but rather a superior human who is able to rethink cultural conventions and create a set of morals rooted only in this life on earth, the exact opposite of a supernatural deity.
I imagine the creators of Superman, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, sci-fi cartoonists in the 1930s, hardly envisioned the enduring mass appeal, let alone the money-making potential, of Superman. In 1938, Detective Comics introduced a hero who came from the planet Krypton and derived superhuman powers from our sun. The invincible Superman became a syndicated newspaper comic strip and then a radio program. Decades later, Superman is still a mainstay in the DC Comics litany of superheroes, and still the first guy we all want on our side, upholding "Truth, Justice, and the American Way."
And maybe we all need a Superman. Maybe we need to believe that there is someone stronger, more powerful, more knowledgeable than ourselves, who can take care of business in a way that we cannot, despite our best efforts. World mythology has given us many heroic figures, people who rise above the common man to solve a problem or avert a crisis, often at great and tragic cost to themselves. Religion speaks to a "God-shaped hole" in the core of our beings, and I noted that "Man of Steel" abounds with Christ-like images. We see a loving father sending his only son into another realm in order to save a group of life forms from themselves, and a cruciform pose just before Superman takes flight to rescue a planet not his own. In case we don't get those references, a Superman-supplicant stands just in front of an image of Jesus in a church, as our troubled protagonist seeks guidance from a stupefied priest. We get it: we need a hero!
This latest Superman movie has also made me want to vow solemnly to boycott any future films that involve the destruction of Manhattan. For the love of God, hasn't that borough suffered enough? It has been nuked and frozen and strafed and terrorized and crushed under the feet of monsters. Whether we call it Metropolis or Gotham City or wherever Spiderman lives, New York City should be cinematically off-limits for a while. Go bomb Cleveland, or Provo, Utah, or some city off the list of usual targets.
"Man of Steel" has made me feel like an old codger, complaining about fight scenes that are brutal and eternal, and a plot that emphasizes property destruction over character development, and overuse of the most-dreaded of all elements, special effects . Even worse: special effects in 3-D . It's made me face that I am no longer the target demographic of the film industry. I may not need a hero, but I can still fall for a well-made, satisfying, superhero tale, preferably one about an ubermensch who is also a mensch.
These are Valerie Schultz's opinions, not necessarily those of The Californian.

The search for new and less upsetting ways to say "wants to trade for" and a frank discussion of abusive batting coaches with DJ Khaled. Also lifetime bans for various people, for various reasons, some having to do with orange juice.
Bryce Harper may well wind up as a generation-defining baseball talent, and is definitely one of the more interesting people currently playing the game. He's also a Mormon. Let's leave it at that, maybe.
David Wright is still young and still great, and has a lot of baseball left in his career. This is good news for Mets fans, but Wright's modest, half-goofy greatness already defines his team, in the best possible way.
By most reasonable assessments, the Pittsburgh Pirates really and truly are a good baseball team after 20 years of really and truly not being one. There's no harm in believing that, right? Um, right?
A frank colloquy on productive outs, unproductive PED investigations, sleepy free-associating announcers and the ongoing search of Los Angeles Times columnist T.J. Simers for someone, anyone, in the Los Angeles Angels clubhouse who will punch him in the nose.
Out, as in baseball. Also "out" as in: if you've downloaded The Classical App and subscribed to the magazine, you can download nine new pieces of literary and artistic baseball goodness right now.
It has never been easier to believe in the Pittsburgh Pirates than it is at the moment. It feels strange, and pretty great.
Even the most loathsome of truly great players can merit a winsome backward glance once their skills atrophy; Roy Halladay, the stand-up dude who issued a public apology to Phillies fans for sucking, is far from loathsome. He is also, it seems, pretty much gone.
The July issue of The Classical Magazine is rounding into shape, and the August one is taking contributions. Get like us.
Matt Harvey has done everything a baseball fans could've hoped for and more in his brief and brilliant time with the Mets. Don't we at least owe him a nickname?

Carlo Cracco, who started his career working for many of the big names in cuisine in France and Italy, was hired by the famous gourmet shop Peck as its chef in 2001, and soon became one of the world's most imaginative and innovative chefs, earning two Michelin stars and a listing in the Fifty Best Restaurants in the World. The restaurant is set in an elegant building in the city centre and its cuisine re-examines Milan's traditional dishes in a contemporary way, always creating spectacular dishes which look like abstract works of art. Since July 2007 Cracco is finally on his own (and so the name of the restaurant is no longer Cracco-Peck Restaurant but only Cracco Restaurant, and Peck remains as the fine food store just around the corner).

Foreign retailers can source from anywhere in India: Sharma
Agra: Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma Monday said it would be up to global retail chains to source products from across India or from a state depending on logistics as 100 percent FDI is allowed in back-end chain.
The minister, who had met Walmart International CEO Doug McMillon and Tesco Chairman Richard Broadbent separately in Davos last week, also said they were seeking clarity on India's FDI policy in retail.
"... If the front-end is open in one area or one state or two states, but if the sourcing area (is) in the neighbourhood, there is no restriction. Same for SMEs. SMEs sourcing will be from the entire country, agro sourcing will be from the entire country, so it is their (foreign retailers) decision depending upon the logistics," Sharma said.
In the back-end, 100 percent FDI is allowed and sourcing is allowed from across the entire country, he added.
When asked about his meetings with McMillon and Broadbent and what were their apprehensions, he said: "When a policy is made, naturally investors would like greater clarity."
The minister further said: "Like if they open up in one state and when it comes to the sourcing areas, is it restricted to that state? Or can they source from the region?"
Last week, the minister had assured the global retail giants that India would hand-hold them for their entry into the multi-brand retailing in the country on the sidelines of the annual World Economic Forum conference.
"India's policy on FDI in multi-brand retail has finality and they need not be unduly concerned about any policy reversal," the minister had said.

Looking down on Lalibella on the first afternoon of our trek
We fortified ourselves for the first day of our TESFA trek by having a huge lunch of Ethiopian food at a local restaurant. It was my idea of a perfect meal: a huge piece of injera with many little types of food arranged around it, such as pickled vegetables, spicy goat meat, shredded beets and lentil sauce. I thought of it as Ethiopian tapas and once I'd discovered it, I ordered it every chance I could get!
The TESFA arrangement with the local villages in the Ethiopian highlands around Lalibella was unique as far as our travel experience went. The local villages would build a group of tukuls, or huts, at a scenic place within a certain distance of their village. Trekkers would spend the night at these huts, being hosted by a different village each night. Every day, the local guides from the next village would meet ourselves and our TESFA guide around lunchtime, transfer our luggage to their donkey, and the previous villagers and donkey would take their leave. Each host village had a manager who was a liaison with TESFA and who would manage the funds and organize the food and the village girls who would cook
Loaded donkeys on the path
for us. The tukuls were extremely comfortable with mattresses, thick wool blankets and strong walls and thatched roofs to keep out the drafts. The only exception was a brand new site (we were only the second set of guests) where the glass windows had not yet been installed in the tukuls. There were no shutters either and this happened to be the site at the highest altitude, so it was extremely cold at night. I managed to get a good night's sleep with three wool blankets and my sleeping bag but I have no idea how the guides and cooks didn't get hypothermia or frostbite! During dinner we all huddled around the cooking fire, sitting on plastic oil jugs, trying to keep our sleeves and pants out of the flames as we passed the food around. It was definitely a memorable evening.
As you will see from the pictures, the tukuls were also perched on the tops of the escarpments so the views were amazing. Each site also had its own "loo with a view" with a window overlooking the valley. The food was also exceptional with local honey and eggs for breakfast (and thick slices of wheat bread
An adventurous section
which I couldn't eat but which Chuck relished), usually rice, pasta or potatoes with spinach, cabbage and a spicy lentil and onion sauce for dinner, and leftovers with injera for lunch. Chuck would say the best part was the coffee. It was usually made from freshly roasted and ground beans and served in small cups with a bit of sugar or honey. We were also usually offered a thyme and ginger tea as soon as we arrived at the tukuls after a long day of hiking.
An honourable mention goes to the village with whom we stayed on our third night. They had a tradition of offering footbaths and calf massages when you arrived at the tukuls. It was heavenly! Also, the village who built the tukuls where we stayed on the fourth night had thought to include a bucket shower. A bucketful of lukewarm water and a chunk of soap never felt so good!
When asked by TESFA during our e-mail communications if we wanted an "easy", "moderate" or "strenuous" trek, we chose "strenuous", assuming that we would get the best views that way. We also figured that we would be in shape and acclimatized from ourMount
Taking a break for a lollipop
Notice our guide on his cellphone
Kenyatrek the previous week. What we didn't realize was that "strenuous" meant 25km per day! On our second day, we took a slight detour to climb Abuna Yosef mountain, which meant a total of 31km! Abuna Yosef is the third-highest mountain inEthiopiawith an elevation of 4300 m, so much of this hiking was done at altitude. If I hadn't hadMount Kenyaas a training week, I would have been suffering! As it was, our guide, the local guides from the villages and the donkey carrying our large duffel bag would stride along chatting away (well the donkeys weren't very chatty but they could sure keep up the pace!) as I huffed and puffed my way up the steep escarpments. Chuck was fine as well and usually would walk behind me so that I wouldn't fall too far behind (and to act as a cattle prod every once in awhile). Our guide was great though, and despite not having the "pole pole" attitude, he encouraged frequent breaks (or at least asked me if I needed one to which I always responded "yes!) and didn't tell us that we were attempting 31 km until we had succeeded, knowing that I might have balked
Climbing up some steps
You can see the first set of tukuls on the top of the escarpment in the middle of the photo
at the idea. A highlight was a couple of km that I got to ride on a mule! A man came along on his way to market and asked our guide if I would like a ride. He wouldn't accept any money as a tip and he even carried my daypack! The mule was amazingly sure-footed and picked his way along with no direction needed from me. I just had to hang on to the wood-and-leather saddle and try not to fall over the steep ledges that we were navigating!
Our guide was also very knowledgeable about local plants and village customs. In several villages that we passed along the way he had asked the local guide if they would arrange for us to see a certain activity. We saw threshing, rope-making (which our guide himself demonstrated) and we stopped at a school where the kids all ran out to greet us. Despite the fact that we were hiking over rugged terrain in quite remote locations, we were never really out of sight of people or human settlements. The sides of the escarpments were terraced for agriculture and there were sheep, goats, cattle and donkeys grazing on every available
Looking at the view from the "knife edge" rock bridge
plateau and even up on the ledges that we would have never been able to reach.
Most of the villagers were very interested in our progress and the kids would run along shouting "Hello hello hello" at the top of their lungs. Despite the snotty noses (which a group of British doctors, that we encountered on our last night, told us were due to smoky fires and dusty tracks), shabby clothes and sparse nutrition, the kids seemed happy, energetic and social. One young girl came up to the tukuls as I was sitting outside writing in my journal and she wanted to practice her English. We went through all of the body parts that I could think of and had started on "window" and "door" before the local guide came along and scolded her for bothering me. Unfortunately I didn't know how to explain in Amharic that it wasn't a bother at all!
A definite highlight of the trek was our sighting of the Ethiopian wolf. It is the most endangered species of canine that has not been extinct in the wild, with only about 550 remaining. We had been told that we would be hiking through its

habitat but I had assumed that it was nocturnal and even if it wasn't, that it would run away as soon as it heard or smelled us, let alone at the sight of us. It turned out that they do hunt during the day, and about mid-morning on our third day of trekking, our guide spotted two of them! Luckily I had kept my binoculars in my day pack (I had contemplated putting them in the donkey-pack that morning!) and we were able to watch the wolf walk through the grass and climb a rock to have a look around. We were at quite a distance but Chuck got a couple of good photos and it was a great sighting. With our African wild dog sighting inBotswanaand the number of sightings of Black rhinos that we've had, in Kruger and in Ngorongoro Crater, we have had exceptional luck on this trip.
In all, the week spent trekking in the Ethiopian highlands with TESFA was one of the best of our trip. It definitely whetted our appetites for a return trip toEthiopia. I would highly recommend a trek to anyone planning to travel to the Lalibella area. The Ethiopian landscape,
Sunset on our first night
people and food were unique to the rest of our travels inAfricaand we were extremely happy with our decision to spend the last week of our trip exploring what little we could.
I returned to Lalibella tired and sore and several pounds lighter, but proud of myself for accomplishing two relatively difficult hikes in two weeks. I was also ready for a hot shower, another delicious meal at Ben Abeba restaurant in Lalibella, and a couple of days spent sight-seeing inAddis Abababefore flying home toCanada!

Here we are again, and this time we are leaving on our last big trip before trying to start a family. We have chosen Africa because of the wildlife, the exotic landscapes, and the price. This trip will be a bit different from our South America trip because we have planned a specific itinerary. We found that the spontaneous approach to travel that we took in 2009 meant for more wasted planning days during the trip itself. This time, we have spent countless hours doing online searches, bookings and wire transfers in order to have everything arranged beforehand. We will discover which approa...

A pediatrician gives thanks for passage of the RH bill
Today I am very happy and thankful that finally we have the reproductive health bill around. I am a pediatrician, I am Catholic, I practice my religion and I am happy being a Catholic except that I don't follow the pronouncements of the bishops and priests to the letter. I have my own personal convictions based on my discernment of what is right and what is wrong. I am a victim of a husband's abuse. I am presently separated by virtue of RA 9262 (violence against women and children). I thank God for that law. There were times in the past when I heard Mass and the priest would say in his homily that it is not right for a woman to complain once she is married to a man no matter if the husband maltreats her, she should stick with him until "death do them part." I just kept silent; I prayed that if God wills it, it will be done and it was done. I was granted a Personal Protection Order from the man who maltreated me.
Lately, again the RH bill was debated upon until I noticed that the Catholic Church was moving heaven and earth to keep it from being enacted into law. I prayed to God that it be passed because this will be for the good of the many poor women and the many children of the poor who are increasing in number every day in this country.
The passage of the RH bill is another answered prayer! When I attended a Misa de Gallo the priest again mentioned in his homily his disappointment about the passing of the RH bill. He said that this will mean the destruction of morality and increasing abortion, etc.
I don't think this is going to be the result, because no matter if the contraceptives are there the important thing is the teeners are better educated, the parents should have more opportunities to talk to their children because our women will not be too burdened with their pregnancies, they will have more opportunities to bring up their families well. It is plain and simple education. We will educate the mothers, the women, the teeners so that there will be fewer of them to bear the consequences of poor education and poverty.
Every day I am witness to poor women who bring their sick children to me. I noticed that the poorer they are, the more children they have and the sicker their children. I also noticed that their children get sick very often because they cannot afford to have their children vaccinated completely. And yes may I also remind our policymakers especially in the DOH that our government health centers do not even have enough vaccines, even the basic ones like Hepatitis B vaccines and the anti- pneumonia vaccines like HIB and PCV, which should be included in the expanded routine immunizations for our children. This should mean fewer sick children.
With the RH bill it is my wish that there will be fewer women and children who will die of illnesses during pregnancy, during labor and delivery, even after delivery and that there will be less of the suffering children on the streets who do not even know or experience the joys of childhood.
I salute the 13 senators and the 133 congressmen who voted for the passage of the RH bill. In 2013 you will be remembered favorably.
God bless us all.
