X/1106 C1, also known as the Great Comet of 1106, was a great comet that appeared on February 2, 1106, and was observed across the world from the beginning of February through to mid-March. It was recorded by astronomers in Wales, England, Japan, Korea, China and Europe. It was observed to split into at least two pieces,[1] and may have formed the Great Comet of 1882, Comet Ikeya–Seki and SOHO-620.[citation needed] It is a member of the Kreutz Group, known as Subfragment I, split from an earlier comet.[citation needed]
A brief note in the Welsh manuscript known as the Brut y Tywysogion reads (in translation):
[-1106]. In that year there was seen a star wonderful to behold, throwing out behind it a beam of light of the thickness of a pillar in size and of exceeding brightness, foreboding what would come to pass in the future: for Henry, emperor of Rome, after mighty victories and a most pious life in Christ, went to his rest. And his son, after winning the seat of the empire of Rome, was made emperor.[citation needed]
The 1106 annal of the Peterborough Chronicle describes the comet. The Dorothy Whitlock translation reads:
In the first week of Lent, on the Friday, 16 February, in the evening, there appeared an unusual star, and for a long time after that it was seen shining a while every evening. This star appeared in the south-west; it seemed small and dark. The ray that shone from it, however, was very bright, and seemed to be like an immense beam shining north-east; and one evening it appeared as if this beam were forking into many rays toward the star from an opposite direction.
An excerpt from a Chinese manuscript describes the following report of a comet in 1106, mentioning the comet's breakup after perihelion, dated February 10:
In the reign of Hwuy Tsung, the 5th year of the epoch of Tsung Ning, the 1st moon [February], day Woo Seuh, a comet appeared in the west. It was like a great Pei Kow. The luminous envelope was scattered. It appeared like a broken-up star. It was 60 cubits in length and was 3 cubits in breadth. Its direction was to the north-east. It passed S.D. Lew, Wei, Maou, and Peih. It then entered into the clouds and was no more seen.[1]

Khartoum — Sudan's ruling National Congress Party (NCP) said on Sunday that the security arrangements deal the country signed last week with neighbouring rival South Sudan will effectively spell doom for the rebel Sudan People's Liberation Movement North (SPLM-N).
Prior to the deal, which was signed in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa on 27 September, Sudan had been accusing South Sudan of supporting Sudanese rebels who fought as part of its army in the second Sudanese civil war. SPLM-N has been fighting Khartoum government since last year in the country's regions of South Kordofan and Blue Nile which border South Sudan.
The security arrangements deal provides for the establishment of a safe demilitarized zone along the unmarked 1800 km common borders to be monitored by the Joint Border Verification and Monitoring Mission which consists of the two sides as well as independent monitors. It also stipulates that the two parties cease "harbouring of, or support to rebel groups against the other state"
NCP's spokesperson Badr Al-Din Ahmad Ibrahim told reporters in the capital Khartoum that if the security arrangements deal is implemented "it would effectively mean the death of the SPLM-N"
Sudan and the SPLM-N have been engaged in indirect negotiations through the African Union High-Level Implementation Panel (AUHIP) to find a settlement to the conflict but the talks produced nothing so far except an unimplemented agreement to allow humanitarian assistance in the two regions.
However, Badr Al-Din suggested that the talks with the SPLM-N would continue in view of the domestic nature of the conflict, saying that "it is possible to talk with SPLM-N leaders [Malik] Aggar, [Yasir] Arman and [Abdel Aziz] Al-Hilu in their capacity as northern [Sudanese] citizens." He added that after the deal with Juba all issues had become "purely Sudanese"
SPLM-N accuses the government of failing to implement the deal they signed on 4 August to allow unfettered humanitarian access to South Kordofan and Blue Nile which are, in the words of the group's secretary-general Yasir Arman, "experiencing the worst humanitarian crisis in Africa today"
The rebels say they control over 40% of Sudan's common borders with South Sudan in Blue Nile and the Nuba Mountains of South Kordofan. They also insinuate that the security arrangements deal will be hard to implement without a ceasefire with them.
Arman said on Saturday that the SPLM-N is offering a ceasefire but linked it to humanitarian access to the areas they helds in the Two Areas stressing that such deal would enable all parties to "put an effective demilitarized buffer zone in place."
The rebel official also regretted that the summit meeting of Sudan President Omer Al-Bashir and South Sudan President Salva Kiir Mayardit ended with "a total failure to recognize the humanitarian situation" in South Kordofan and Blue Nile.
The UN Security Council's (UNSC) resolution number 2046 ordered Sudan and the SPLM-N to cooperate in order to end the conflict in the two regions. Under the resolution, two parties are supposed to negotiate on the basis of the 28 June 2011 agreement they signed in Addis Ababa before it was scrapped by President Omer Al-Bashir.
The scrapped deal provides for the integration of SPLM-N fighters into regular forces and recognizes the group as a legal political force in Sudan.
In November last year, the SPLM-N forged an alliance known as the Sudanese Revolutionary Front (SRF) with three rebel groups from the country's western region of Darfur and the allies vowed joint military operations to topple the government of President Omer Al-Bashir.

Former President Charles Ghankay Taylor's letter to the Liberian Government requesting amenities allegedly due him under the laws of the country has provoked serious public debate, generating at least two opposing argument.
One group argues that Taylor, jailed in Europe for war crimes and crimes against humanity, does not deserve any penny of taxpayer's money, while the other contends that the former leader deserves every dime that is due him under the laws of the country.
Taylor is requesting about US$25,000 annually in benefits, and this spread over a period of nine years since his resignation would amount to at least US$225,000.
Taylor, in his complaint to the Liberian Senate to prevail on the Executive, through Ministry of Finance, to pay his annuities as a former President of Liberia quoted provisions under the law and an act passed by the 51st Legislature (during his term) that grants benefits to former President, Vice Presidents and Chief Justice.
He based his arguments on Section 1.4 of the New Executive Law, Section 2.4 of the New Legislative Law and Sub Section 3, of Section 13.4 of the New Judiciary Law to read as follows which reads: "A former President of the Republic of Liberia who has honorably retired to private life and who is not in any way gainfully employed by government shall receive from Government a pension equal to fifty (50%) percent of the salary of the incumbent President. In addition, a former President shall be provided a personal staff and facilities for the remainder of his/her life. The amount allowed for this shall not be less than twenty-five thousand (US$25,000.00) United States Dollars per annum."
In his three-page communication to the Senate, the former Liberian leader (2007-2003) pointed out that since his resignation from the presidency in 2003, he has not received his annuities from the Liberian Government.
Taylor, 64, was found guilty by the UN backed Court of Sierra Leone on May 30, 2012 of 11 counts of aiding and abetting war crimes and crimes against humanity, when supporting rebels between 1996 and 2002 in return for blood diamonds.
He has been sentenced to 50 years in jail but his lawyers have since taken appeal against the court's ruling.
"Taylor deserves his just benefits as long as it is enshrined in the Constitution," said James Davies, a Liberian journalist.
Davies told the Informer that Taylor being good or bad as people claims that he was "bad", has got nothing to do with what is inscribed in the law. "Taylor was bad? Being bad is relative, and that should not be the argument. If the constitutions or any law calls for him to get his benefit, I think it should be given to him," he argued.
Adolphus Mawalo, also a Liberian journalist who works for the Government-run New Liberia Newspaper backed Taylor in getting his benefits if the laws provides for it. "Yes, the former President should be given his benefits as long as it is legal."
Mawolo said the laws of the country need to be upheld. "Personally, I feel he should get his benefit; there should be no argument about that if it is stipulated in the constitution or under any act of the national legislature."
Davies, Mawolo and their likes argue that today it is Taylor and tomorrow it could be any other former president. "It could even be President Sirleaf who will need her just entitlements after she leaves power," Kormassa Kollie, a petty trader on Perry Street noted.
However, on the other hand, opponent of the former President's demand contend that he does not deserve any benefits from the Liberian government because he resigned from the position. "He was elected to serve the Liberian people; he did not honorable end his tenure and give up the office because of his own negligence," stated Tugbeh Johnson. "How can you demand pay for the work you have not completed? No, he will not get a dime," the 43-year-old New Georgia resident told this writer in Johnson Street while waiting for a bus to take him home.
For Esther Boryou, Taylor is an international criminal that cannot be given the country's money needed to undertake development. "Look, the government must know that we need electricity and pipe born water we are yet to get 10 years after the war. They must never think of giving money to the very person who brought war in this country. No way!"
Madam Boryou who refused to further identify herself "before the Taylor's boys look for me" said "Charles Taylor is an international criminal; he's in jail and does not need any support from government.
"This man brought war here; he destroyed this country and now he wants us to keep paying him for the destruction and backwardness he brought in this land? God forbade!" exclaimed Mondesco M. Farley," who says he's a resident of Jamaica Road.
Several text messages and calls yesterday morning on Truth FM, Fabric Radio and talk shows hosted by local radio stations pictured a clear division among Liberians on the issue.
The Liberian Government has yet to make any officials comment on the former President's demand, but the Senate Tuesday sent the communication to its appropriate committee room for review before it will be discussed in detail next Tuesday.
"Sadly," Taylor continued in his complaint, "I am without notice as to why Finance Ministers of the Republic of Liberia have failed and/or refused to comply with the law of the land as regards my annuities."
The former leader asserted that the Senate and House of Representatives of the 51st Legislature of the Republic of Liberia passed "An Act to amend an Act is providing for retirement pension of the President and Vice President of the Republic of Liberia, the Speaker and Deputy Speaker, the Pro Tempore and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court" which he stated above in Section 1.4 of the New Executive Law, Section 2.4 of the New Legislative Law and Sub Section 3, of Section 13.4 of the New Judiciary Law.
He said "the fact is that I have not received my entitlement as set out under the law as a former President of Liberia since I resigned the office on 11 August 2003. A reasonable observer, properly informed, would reasonably apprehend bias because there is evidence that some individuals that are covered by this Act are receiving their annuities."
Taylor is also seeking other privileges customarily giving to former members of first families such as Diplomatic Passports for his wife and children, adding that "it is a tradition reserved and respected over the years and hope that it can be honored without prejudice."
According to Taylor, "I posit that there is the scared and overriding principle that, justice must not only be done, but should manifestly and undoubtedly be seen to be done. Ultimately, the action taken so far by Government, whether an oversight or contrived, I suggest, reflect on the integrity and standing as regards the appreciation for the rule of law and the fair conduct of government. This practice of selective application of the law of the Republic is in itself a violation of the law."
He therefore request the intervention of the Liberian Senate to bring an immediate end to what he referred to as a "mammoth injustice," and cause his lawful annuities to be made available and same be done for personalities who may be a victim of such act.
Following the reading of the communication Tuesday, Sinoe County Senator Mobutu V. Nyepan raised a motion for the communication to be sent to the committee on Judiciary and the committee Ways, Means & Finance, and copies circulated to each senator for and discussion next Tuesday.

European App Stores Get Apple's iTunes 12 Days of [Free Stuff for] Christmas App
Apple has released a new iPhone app called iTunes 12 Days of Christmas [Free - iTunes link] that provides push notifications for a FREE iTunes gift every day from December 26 to January 7 -- but the catch is (for right now at least) you have to have a UK, Portuguese, etc. App Store account.
That's right, iTunes 12 Days of Christmas isn't showing up in the US or Canadian App Store yet. Whether it's a promotion specific to certain European countries, or whether Apple needs to figure out licensing for different regions before rolling it out, it's Joy to the Euro, bah-humbug for North America for now.

European App Stores Get Apple's iTunes 12 Days of [Free Stuff for] Christmas App
For now, there is nothing in the App besides a giant countdown Apple style (http://www.c82.net/images/apple-billion-countdown.jpg) until the day of the first free app/album/song/whatever
I am happy that one time we european people have something that america dont have :) most time we can wait for cool service that are exclusivly available in the U.S only.
The app is not special at the moment, there will be shown free apps, title, albums when it starts at 26. december.
hope that all of you U.S People get also this 12 day christmas service from apple. Maybe just later announced
best regards from Germany/Switzerland
Same AppStore promotion was offered (in the UK at least) last year.
You also have Spotify!
@dave goodman
what kinda stuff did last year bring ? anything good ?
Doesn't look like this is available in the Polish iTunes store. Based on the screenshot, I would guess it's available in the EU15 aka "old Europe".
We in Sweden have it! Also, a swedish guy posted a comment that he changed the date to the 27 of December on his phone and saw that iTranslate is the first free app. 28 of December is Pocket God and the 29 of December is a free song from iTunes music store. He also write that apple has fixed this "bug" ..
I am so dissapointed...
I bought my first Apple product (Iphone 3GS) in June and couldn't find any flaws in the friendly user phylosofy.
I even had my IT guy in the company rethinking our solulutions versus MAC instead of our Windows.
We were planning on changing everything by the beginning of the summer.
Now I'm not so sure...
Seems that the Apple strategy is not so different after all...
I have been exploring for a bit for any high-quality articles or weblog posts on this sort of house . Exploring in Yahoo I ultimately stumbled upon this web site. Studying this info So i am glad to express that I have a very good uncanny feeling I came upon just what I needed. I so much indubitably will make certain to don?t overlook this website and give it a look on a continuing basis.

We cruise for a little while and then park up on the side of a canyon road. I poke and prod and find that the minutiae really make your eyes water. Attention to detail that verges on high-functioning autism. Every nut, bolt and screw thread is plated. Every bracket, hinge, mount and clasp is renewed, milled from raw ingot or water-jetted into a more gratifying shape. Every panel gap is a regulation 4mm. There's a Becker Mexico - the legendary hi-fi - in the dash. Satnav, iPods and other modern-day necessities are plumbed into the back of a bulkhead milled from a single piece of alloy. The dials are just so. The gold badges on the rear deck? Twenty-four carat. The titanium/ceramic-coated exhaust an implicit nod to potential. The bullet mirrors, the radius on the arches, the three-piece forged aluminium 17-inch Fuchs-esque wheels with tall tyres - all perfect. Modernity wrought in a thick veneer of warming retro.
Up ahead, I spy some twisty roads. Rob looks at me. I look at Rob. He knows. It feels as if I'm about to take a precious daughter out for the evening, and I've just turned up on a rusty motorbike and sporting facial tattoos. "Go. Have fun. Tell me what you think."

18 Airports and the Newest Generation of General Aviation Aircraft prepared specifically for VLJs. These forecasts may be of interest to airport operators, at least to provide an initial estimate of the scale of operations that may be expected from new generation aircraft. The forecasts identified two potential market segments for new generation aircraft: traditional GA use and commercial air taxi use. Traditional GA use includes personal, business, corporate, and other non-air taxi uses. There is also some indication that VLJs may be a viable option in the frac- tional ownership market, given that some smaller fractional operators have indicated plans to include VLJs as an option in their fractional ownership programs. The commercial air taxi seg- ment includes traditional charter use and on-demand air taxi and per-seat on-demand services. The two segments were analyzed separately with different techniques; the traditional GA model forecasted fleet sales directly, while the air taxi model was estimated using passenger trips as the basis for the analysis which was then translated into fleet requirements using load factor and equipment utilization factors. For the traditional GA analysis, the forecasting assumed that GA use of new generation aircraft would come primarily from the replacement of existing aircraft (including high-end pistons, turboprops, and light jets) already in the fleet. Ultimately, a significant VLJ fleet may be used for traditional GA purposes, and growth in overall airport operations due to these new aircraft is not expected to vary much from historical averages observed over the past several years. On the other hand, if the commercial air taxi market develops into a significant segment, that may have a much greater effect on GA airport operations given that much of the activ- ity may represent new small aircraft activity (potentially displacing commercial air service and automobile trips). Consequently, an offshoot of the fleet projections for the air taxi mar- ket is a set of flight activity (operations) estimates broken out at the individual airport level. Candidate airports for the air taxi forecast were limited to public use airports in the lower 48 states with at least one 3,000-foot lighted runway and jet fuel available. Airports designated as Medium or Large hubs by the FAA were excluded based on observed and intended usage patterns of current and prospective air taxi operators. This yielded 1,842 candidate airports for potential air taxi services. The airport-specific activity projections from the air taxi forecast are provided as Appendix A to the guidebook. Operators of airports included in the analysis are encouraged to access and review the forecasts. A complete description of the forecast process and results is contained in a separate forecast document prepared in 2008. Relying on the same basic approach discussed above to assess poten- tial demand, the air taxi forecast relied on detailed estimates of catchment areas and demographic data across the entire United States. The baseline year for the forecast was 2007, resulting in fleet forecasts for the years 2012 and 2017. 3.3.1 Forecast Results 10 Years Out The forecast for the traditional GA segment projects that approximately 1,650 VLJs may be sold for use in the United States by 2012; by 2017, this total is projected to increase to around 3,500. The more speculative air taxi forecast projects 751 VLJs by 2012 and an increase in excess of 400 new low-cost piston aircraft that may be used for air taxi services. By 2017, the cumulative air taxi VLJ fleet may total more than 1,300, with about half that number added to the air taxi piston fleet. Figure 3-1 summarizes the cumulative fleet additions projected by 2017. The projected VLJ cumulative total of about 4,800 aircraft over 10 years is somewhat lower than most other forecasts recently published, but this is not surprising given the recent downturn in the economy and some negative developments affecting participants in the industry during 2008. It is

ACRP fleet forecast additions. still anticipated, however, that the VLJ market will continue to grow, albeit somewhat more slowly than the optimistic projections forecasted by others. The actual air taxi fleet projection levels depend heavily on basic assumptions, the most prominent of which are as follows: � Definitions of the relevant universe for the automobile and commercial air travel markets; � "Full price of travel" estimates of the various modes, which depend on (among other things) uncertain estimates of the unit costs of providing traditional charter services, wait and/or delay times associated with commercial air travel, and road congestion associated with automobile travel � Actual availability of new per-seat on-demand VLJ services and/or low-cost piston services; and � Perceived similarities or differences between new services and traditional charter services. Using different assumptions for any of these factors could affect the estimated results significantly. The overall level of activity at small airports is not likely to be affected much by VLJs pur- chased for traditional GA use because the main effect is anticipated to be displacement of sales of other small GA aircraft. On the other hand, the analysis indicates that sales of VLJs (and low-cost piston aircraft) for air taxi use are likely to displace automobile and commercial air traffic, potentially leading to substantial increases in activity at certain airports that can han- dle large numbers of aircraft being used to provide new air taxi services. Overall, the projected increase in operations by 2017 at candidate airports relative to 2007 is modest, on the order of 6%, as shown in Table 3-1. The baseline air taxi trip estimates are all tied to specific location and airports, so the total num- ber of associated air taxi operations can be estimated on an airport-specific basis. These estimates are contained in Appendix A, but they should be viewed cautiously. The projections are best interpreted as "market potential" targets, if and when low-cost air taxi services become available.

The CMS was designed to make it easy for the client to add content to and manage the Cheerios website without developer assistance. We were proud to work again with the Zeus Jones team and to be a part of bringing the new and improved Cheerios website to the world.

It is a daunting task to attempt to define the role of Takuma Hisa within the context of the overlapping histories of aikido and Daito-ryu aikijujutsu. The dynamics of Hisa's associations with Morihei Ueshiba and Sokaku Takeda, two giants of modern Japanese martial arts history, are little understood. This is because Hisa was caught in an awkward situation resulting from the sometimes bizarre relationship between Ueshiba and Takeda…

Hi Everybody,
I am new to this forum. Thanks to google where i typed air gun + india and i was shown gateway to IFG.
I need advice from experts here regarding gun purchase. I had a small pistol break barrel in my 9th standard, which costed me around 220 Rs in 1996. But it was not accurate even for short targets of even 5 meters.
This time I have a budget of around 3000 Rs and would like to purchase an air gun or a pistol.
But I want to know the difference between accuracy, target range, power etc between an air gun and an air pistol(most importantly which I can purchase in my budget). I will prefer pistol over air gun given above parameters are same as it is easy to carry.

Usually homes are safe haven during a snowstorm, but in Nicholas County on Tuesday the roofs on threee homes collapsed from the weight of the snow. West Virginia National Guard troops were called out to help residents get to shelters. All of those folks were okay. In Kanawha County there are several shelters set up, Including Aldersgate United Methodist Church in Sissonville, Salvation Army at Roane and Tennessee Avenue in Charleston, and the Kanawha City Rec Center, all of which will be overnight shelters.

Goodyear: New tires with soybean oil
Manufacturers of automotive tires ever achieve the same output with less costs and more conscious about the environment. In this section, Goodyear takes the cake as it announced the manufacture of some new tires, which reduce the amount of oil used, and the incorporation of soybean oil, to extend the life of our tires and protect our planet. In up to 10% longer life, and reduce oil use no less than 26.5 million liters per year. It started with production in Texas, USA, and if all goes well, will in all markets from 2015. New tires, greener.
New tires with soybean oil
Goodyear Company wants to reduce the amount of oil from the tires and include soybean oil in the production process, which would lengthen the life thereof and protect the environment.
The innovation center of the same company, his research has shown that the use of this oil increases by 10% the life of the wheels. Be launched to market in 2015, reducing oil use in the manufacture in 26.5 million liters per year.
Moreover, the tires made with soybean oil are mixed better with the silica, a component in the manufacture of tires, assuming an improved efficiency for the company and a reduction in energy consumption and pollutant emission for protection environment.
From Goodyear
"The consumers benefit from increased tire life, Goodyear gets better efficiency and energy savings and we all win when you reduce the impact on the environment," stressed Jean-Claude Kihn, Goodyear's chief technical officer. And, the efficiency of the tire is important for consumption.
The prototypes of these tires manufactured in Lawton, will be tested in the coming months in the field testing Goodyear in San Angelo, Texas. If they are approved, may sell their tires made by Goodyear with soybean oil from 2015.
The tire company has the support in the form of a grant from United Soybean Board, USB (Soybean Export Council) with a value of $ 500,000 for the next two years, as announced by the manufacturer. The next 6 and 7 August will be shown all this, at a public event of the mark.
New initiatives, less pollution
Along with this great initiative of Goodyear, the company DuPont Industrial BioIsoprene Biosciences is working to develop a revolutionary alternative to biological and Isoprene, oil, used in the manufacture of synthetic rubber and other elastomers, which will help reduce dependence oil.
In addition to technology Air Maintenance Technology (AMT), which will keep the tires inflated to optimum pressure without external pumps or electronics, like pressure self-managed manufactured by Goodyear, or to puncture from Pirelli.
There are providing a reduction in fuel consumption and emissions, with an increased life of the tire and an improvement in safety and performance. New initiatives, less pollution.

SCHOOL Blogs: Mystery Education Theater & More
By Jackie Burrell
Tuesday, May 6th, 2008 at 11:38 am in Schools.
Fascinating story in today's Times on the sudden proliferation of school-related blogs. Some 8 percent of regular Internet users have a blog these days, according to a 2006 study by the Pew Internet & American Life Project, and nearly 40 percent of adult Internet users — that's 57 million people – read blogs. Huge numbers! So it's not surprising that school advocates have started tapping into that. We're so excited about this schools blog trend, we may have to add a whole new category to our blogroll.
We're already fans of several Mt. Diablo-related blogs, including the one launched by Gary Eberhart and Paul Strange, the Mt. Diablo parent site, and the brand new Northgate High parent blog. (We enjoy dropping by Andre Gensburger's always lively Mister Writer blog too – and may we just add our chorus of kudos to the Clayton Valley Women's Ensemble for their choral triumph?)
Now, thanks to Shirley Dang's story, we're surfing some new terrain too, including a blog started by West County's Charley Cowen – a longtime parent volunteer in Kensington's schools. Great name too: Mystery Education Theater 3000. But here's our question. Where are the San Ramon Valley blogs? Shouldn't the valley be teeming too? Yo, Brentwood! Antioch? Surely there are more out there. If you've got a favorite Bay Area schools blog, click "comments" and tell us about it.

Desktop Witness: The do's and don'ts of personal computer security by Michael Caloyannides, John Wiley, £27.50, ISBN 0471486574
COMPUTERS have changed the world. The Internet and the Web made us feel expansive. 11 September made us feel suspicious. We are interdependent in a way never before imagined. That has both huge advantages and huge problems that we are only just beginning to recognise. If you're connected to the Internet, you are bound to have received mass-mailings: spam, even viruses. These are the intrusions you can see. But what about the hidden snoopers?
Governments and companies have many back doors into our computers - and to our private lives, but Caloyannides's book can help you protect your privacy. He gives you technical information on how to keep your privacy intact on the internet, for example, and how to detect any snoopers.

=1. Gareth Bale | Tottenham Hotspur
Market value: £44 million
The flying Welshman virtually single-handedly carried Spurs to a top five finish last season, and has attracted interest from Spanish giants Real Madrid.
With a world record transfer fee being talked of, Bale's possible link up with Cristiano Ronaldo would be worth just between £160 million and £200 million.

It's a proof, however, on average AAPL investor's style (including those institutional ones), i.e., more emotional than the general market. I clearly remember the day when AAPL was 117 in 2008. If some VP had not come out to clarify that they still on track for shipping 10 million iPhone, it could go another dive that day (the general market was more than -1%).

This grand stone house, which once belonged to a wealthy salt merchant, is testimony to the heyday of Salt Cay's eponymous industry. Still owned by the descendants of the original family, it's sometimes opened up for tours. Ask Tim Dunn, a descendant of the original owners, as he may give you a personal tour to see the still-intact, original furnishings, books, and medicine cabinet that date back to the early 1800s.

Trees can be turned into square logs without the need for cutting using a process developed by Yoshinori Kobayashi, a scientist at the Nara Prefectural Forest Experiment Station near Osaka. The process produces wood which is stronger, denser and less liable to split and warp.
The method is relatively simple. Logs are 'cooked' to around 100 °C in a specially designed microwave oven, and the wood becomes pliable enough to be compressed into a square shape, using pressure as low as 10 kilograms per square centimetre. When the log cools, it keeps its new shape. 'Before this process, about 50 per cent of timber would be lost in the sawmill,' says Kobayashi. The process can also straighten crooked logs which would otherwise have been discarded.
As the logs are compressed, water and steam are ejected, making the final product much harder and denser, and thus improving its quality. Five litres ...

Alphabet Street
Sydney Morning Herald
Thursday October 25, 2007
From Aboriginal words to the whims of early settlers, Erin O'Dwyer and Megan Anderson reveal the stories behind your suburb's name.AAlexandriaThere is blue blood in this suburb, which bears the name of Princess Alexandra, who married Edward, Prince of Wales in 1863. He later became King Edward VII. Originally residential, the area was an industrial hub by the 1930s with tanneries and factories.AnnandaleA 100-acre land grant to George Johnston in 1793 sealed this suburb's fate. The Scot - who claimed to be the first to set foot in the colony - named it after his birthplace, Annan. Son Robert had become known as the Squire of Annandale by the time the estate passed to him.AshfieldOriginally Marsh Gate Farm, the present-day name is attributed to Robert Campbell, who arrived in Sydney in 1798 and bought up several farms in the area in 1813. Campbell's father was laird (lord) of Ashfield in Scotland and Campbell's own tombstone read: "Last of the old lairds of Ashfield of Argyllshire." BBalmainFor his services as NSW's principal surgeon, William Balmain was given a parcel of land on Sydney Harbour in 1800. Balmain, who supplemented his surgeon's income by trading in liquor, sold the 550 acres a year later for five shillings. BirchgroveThis tip of land was granted in 1796 to NSW Corps Private George Whitfield, who established an orange grove. In 1810, the orchard was sold to military paymaster John Birch, who commissioned a grand mansion, Birch Grove House. Once home to Premier Henry Watson Parker, it was demolished in 1967. Present-day Birchgrove Park, with its established figs, is a legacy of the old estate.BlacktownOr Blacks' Town as it once was. Aborigines made camps in the area and clustered around a school intended to educate those who had been displaced by white settlement.BondiSpelt Boondi, Bundi, Bundye and Boondye, the name is derived from an Aboriginal word meaning "noise of the surf". The modern-day spelling was set in 1827. The entire stretch of beach was included in a land grant to road builder Williams Roberts in 1809. It was sold in 1851 for #200 to Sydney Monitor editor Edward Smith Hall.BronteOriginally Nelson Bay, in honour of Admiral Nelson. Lawyer Robert Lowe bought the estate in 1840. Bronte House was built in 1845 and named after the Admiral, who was made Duke of Bronte by the King of Sicily.CChatswoodSo called because landowner Richard Harnett knew his second wife Charlotte by the pet-name Chattie. He bestowed the name in 1876. CoogeeFrom the Aboriginal koojah, meaning "bad smell" or "rotten seaweed". The name was recorded as early as 1823. CronullaPerhaps from the Aboriginal kurranulla, meaning "place of pink shells". Or perhaps it was the way Aborigines pronounced the name of the area's first white setter, John Connell. The suburb was named in 1827 but the beach remained Kurranulla until 1899.Curl CurlThe name is taken from an Aboriginal word meaning lagoon but could also describe its shape. It was also used to describe Manly lagoon, an area behind Queenscliff known as Curl Curl Heights and an area south of Harbord, known as Curl Curl Head.DDee WhyIt may be from the Aboriginal diwai - a bird that once frequented the lagoon near the beach. Another explanation is from a map made by surveyor and former convict James Meehan in 1818. It read, "Dy Beach", which is possibly shorthand for dyspropositos, the greek term for "hard to reach". Double BayThe twin inlets were once known as Keltie and Blackburn, after the masters of two First Fleet ships. Governor Macquarie mentioned the name Double Bay in his diary in 1821 and noted plans for a botanic garden. It did not eventuate but botanist Michael Guilfoyle grew Asian date palms, coconuts, Arabian tea and coffee and cinnamon trees there.DrummoyneFrom the Gaelic word for "flat-topped ridge". Today's suburb takes its name from sea merchant William Wright, who purchased the land in 1853 and named it Drummoyne Park after his Scottish home town.FFive DockFive rocky inlets (or docks) jutting into the bay inspired the naming of Five Dock Farm. The current suburb represents just a fraction of the holding, which spanned present-day Abbotsford, Drummoyne and Chiswick. Frenchs ForestOnce home to the Garigal people, the forested north shore remained undeveloped for many years. In 1853, Simeon Pearce and his brother James bought 200 acres. It was later sold to John Ffrench, who also developed neighbouring Forestville.EElizabeth BayOriginally Jerrewon (Macleay Point) and Yarranabee (Darling Point), today's Elizabeth Bay was declared an Aboriginal reserve in 1812. Governor Macquarie named the waterfront land Henrietta Town and the cove Elizabeth Bay in honour of his second wife, Elizabeth Henrietta Macquarie. EnmoreEnmore House, built in the 1830s, was a wealth of gardens and orchards. Built by Captain Sylvester Brown, the estate was bounded by present-day Enmore Road. It was named after an estate in the West Indies - itself named after the London locale. The Josephson family lived in Enmore House from 1842 until 1883, the year it was demolished. Joshua Frey Josephson had four sons and nine daughters. Five streets are named after daughters Clara, Laura, Marian, Pearl and Sarah.EppingEpping was also known as Barren Ridge, Carlingford and Field of Mars. The last seems due to several land grants made to marines in 1792. But it was the area's tall trees that earned the name. Pioneer landowner William Midson was reminded of Epping Forest in Essex, England. The station and post office took the name in 1899.GGladesvilleFirst known as Doody's Bay after the convict artist John Doody. In 1817, convict John Glade bought Doody's waterfront land and called it Glade's Bay. The area progressed after lawyer William Billyard bought part of Glade's property in the early 1840s, then constructed a wharf and a road and began subdivision. Gladesville first appeared on a land title in 1856. For the record: Bedlam Point was so named after a lunatic asylum. Ruins are still visible in some places.GlebeThat's "The Glebe" if you're being proper - an area of land given by Governor Phillip to the Church of England in 1789. The term comes from the Latin word glaeba ("clod of earth"). The 400 acres were heavily timbered, difficult to clear and scarcely used. Much of it was sold in 1828, making way for the now historic homes and gardens. HHaberfieldFirst Dobroyd Estate, then Ramsay's Bush, the suburb became Haberfield after estate agent Richard Stanton bought up 50 acres in 1901. Stanton wanted to create a "garden suburb" as a tonic to Sydney's bubonic plague and he named it after a branch of his family in England.HomebushOr rather, the Home Bush. The area was initially an overnight resting place on the road between Sydney and Parramatta. For drivers on the early 19th century bullock teams, it was the last stop before Sydney.Hunters HillBriefly the haunt of escapee convicts from the Cockatoo Island penal settlement, Hunters Hill was named after NSW Governor John Hunter and settled in 1835.HurstvilleAfter stealing some cloth and being shipped to the colony, Simeon Lord became a success story, buying 1950 acres from King Georges Road to Stoney Creek Road in 1812. Known as Lord's Bush - and later Gannon's Forest when it passed to former convict Michael Gannon - it became Hurstville in the 1870s after the town of Hurst in England.IIllawongJust 40 years ago, this leafy suburb was still known as East Menai, named by a Welsh settler after the Menai Straits. The building of the public school in 1960 inspired the name change in 1967. The Aboriginal word means "between two waters", which is fitting for a peninsula between the Georges and Woronora rivers.KKings CrossIf not for the confounding presence of Queens Square in the city, Kings Cross would still be known as Queens Cross. It was so called in 1897 to mark Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. The name changed in 1905 to put an end to the confusion. KirribilliPart of a grant of land made to farmer James Milson in the early 1800s, the Aboriginal kirribilli or kiarabilli means "good fishing spot". It's thought Milson may have misspelled the word when naming one of his many houses, Carabella.JJannaliMeans "place of the moon" or "beautiful moonrise", according to Aboriginal inhabitants, who perhaps marvelled at the orb rising over the Woronora River. The name arrived with the railway station in 1931.LLane CoveDisputes over Lane Cove's origins remain unsettled. Perhaps its wooded shores made the waterway appear like a lane. Or perhaps it was named by Governor Phillip in memory of John Lane - son of the Lord Mayor of London. Another theory points to Lieutenant Michael Lane, one of Captain Cook's cartographers. Whatever the story, the name first appeared in 1788 in the journals of surveyor Lieutenant William Bradley. La PerouseJean-Francois de Galaup, comte de La Perouse, to be precise. La Perouse was a French navigator who entered Botany Bay in January 1788 - about the same time as the First Fleet. The French had been attacked in Samoa and their rations were low. The First Fleet were hospitable but had little food to share. A scientist who died aboard was buried at present-day La Perouse. After taking on wood and water, the French headed back to the South Pacific. The fleet vanished and the wreckage was found in 1826, near the Solomon Islands.Lavender BayMore dainty than the original name, Hulk Bay, it was so called after the hulk Phoenix, which was moored there in the 1820s and 1830s and housed convicts awaiting transportation to Norfolk Island. The cove takes its name from boatswain George Lavender, who quit the sea to live on 14 acres of waterfront land. LeichhardtGrand estates with extensive gardens once dominated the pre-rail suburb. It was originally known as Piperston after the original landowners Captain John Piper and his brother Ensign Hugh Piper. Walter Beames bought the holding in 1847 and in 1849 renamed it Leichhardt in honour of his friend, the German explorer Ludwig Leichhardt, who disappeared the year before. MManlyGovernor Phillip was so taken by the masculine nobility of the Aboriginal males when he visited the area in 1788 that he called it Manly Cove. MaroubraBelieved to be a corruption of the Aboriginal merro-baroh, meaning "like thunder". Clearly, the surf was big even then. MarrickvilleSo called because local landowner Thomas Chalder wanted to honour the village of Marrick in Yorkshire where he was born. It was once known as Blackguard's Corner, due to the characters who frequented its illegal cockfight rings and dogfighting pits.Mount DruittNamed after Major George Druitt, chief roads engineer. Druitt was granted a large parcel of land in 1821. But it's his private life that makes more interesting reading. Druitt met his wife-to-be, Margaret Lynch, aboard the Matilda in 1817. Lynch was a stowaway who married her soldier boyfriend on board. But on arrival in Sydney, she moved in with Druitt. They had three children before they married in 1825 and went on to have another four. Lynch died in 1842 and Druitt, heartbroken, died four months later. NNarrabeenLegend has it that Aboriginal woman Narrabin walked from present-day Narrabeen to Parramatta to report that a gang of escaped convicts were planning a murder. The victim - a First Fleet drummer named Reynolds - was killed anyway. But the peninsula was named in Narrabin's honour.NewportNo prizes for guessing this one. In the 1840s, four steamships per week called at the operating port. It was, simply, a new port. NewtownPresent-day Newtown grew out of two separate settlements. At the end of Missenden Road was O'Connell Town. The other township, near the present railway bridge, was nameless until John and Eliza Webster opened a store. They called it the New Town Store. It was Newtown by 1838.OOld ToongabbieGovernor Phillip named the area north of Wentworthville, adopting the Aboriginal word meaning "a place near the water". The local people were called the Toongagal. Old Toongabbie, where Toongabbie and Quarry creeks meet, was originally a convict farm. Toongabbie proper refers to the more recent development around the railway station. QQuakers HillThomas Harvey was one of several Quakers to receive land grants and settle in the colony. He arrived in 1852 and leased 100 acres for 30 years. Some believe his religion was the inspiration for the name. Others say it was originally Quacker's Hill, after ducks in the local lake. RRandwickRandwick's first mayor was Simeon Pearce - born in Randwick, Gloucestershire - who came to the colony as a 21-year-old surveyor in 1841 and married the daughter of a rich hotelier. He bought four acres of market gardens and built Blenheim House, still standing in Blenheim Street. RedfernCanadian-born surgeon William Redfern was transported to the colony in 1802 after taking part in a mutiny. He was pardoned in 1803 and appointed assistant surgeon at Sydney Hospital. He received a grant of 100 acres in 1818.RhodesWhen commissary Thomas Walker built his home on the peninsula, he named it Rhodes after his grandmother's home - Rhodes Hall - in Leeds. Rushcutters BayTall, hardy rushes thrived in the swamp between Macleay Point and Darling Point. Convicts cut the reeds for roof thatching and the area became known as Rush Cutting Bay. RydeWhen shopkeeper GM Pope hung up his shingle in 1846, he called it Ryde Store after his home town on the Isle of Wight.PPaddingtonEx-convict and gin distiller Robert Cooper named his holdings after the London borough. His grand Georgian home, Juniper Hall, built in 1824 and situated on present-day Oxford Street, is now National Trust property.ParramattaOnce home to the Burramatta people, whose tribal name means "place where the eels lie down". White pioneers began farming here in 1788, after Governor Phillip noted with some horror the sandy soil of Sydney Cove. The site was the furthest navigable point inland on the Parramatta River and the place where the river became freshwater. Potts PointJoseph Hyde Potts worked for the Bank of NSW, receiving rations, an annual salary of #25 and a room at the bank where he slept guarding the strong box. Twelve years later he was the bank's accountant and purchased six-and-a-half acres of land from Judge John Wylde in the 1830s.PyrmontA well-travelled, spa-savvy picnic goer can take credit for this name. On a picnic at Captain John Macarthur's estate in 1806, she happened upon a bubbling rock spring. It was just like the spring near Hanover in Germany, she said. The spot was called Pyrmont, after the German spa.SSans SouciEarly politician Thomas Holt named his home Sanssouci after the summer palace of Frederick the Great at Potsdam in Germany - a tribute to his German-born wife. StanmoreSo called thanks to the wealthy saddler John Jones, who in 1835 built a mansion here and named it after his birthplace in north London. StrathfieldOnce it was Liberty Plains - owing to the first free settlers who received land grants here in the 1790s. Then it was Redmire, due to the heavy red soil or perhaps after Redmire Estate in Yorkshire. It became Strathfield after landowner John Hardie built his home there in 1885, naming it after the English estate owned by the Duke of Wellington. Summer HillPerhaps from Sunning Hill - the name of soldier Nicholas Bayly's property north of Parramatta Road. Or after one of several Summer Hills in England. Its earlier name was Kangaroo Ground, referring to the mobs of roos between Iron Cove and Cook's River. Surry HillsOnce farm land, it was owned by Major Joseph Foveaux from 1811. He named Surrey Hills Farm after Surrey in England. SylvaniaThe name probably derives from the word sylvan, meaning "full of trees". A Sylvan Street off the Princes Highway supports this theory. Incidentally, Tom Uglys Bridge comes from the Aboriginal pronunciation of early settler Thomas Huxley. TTamaramaEarly European settlers called it Dixon Bay but the Aboriginal name gamma gamma, meaning "storm", is the likely inspiration. In 1887, it was home to Sydney's first coastal amusement park, called The Bondi Aquarium. Its most popular attraction was a roller-coaster set high above the beach.The RocksThe fate of the Gadigal people was changed forever when sailors aboard the First Fleet stepped onto the rocky foreshore on January 26, 1788. Original buildings are made of local sandstone, from which the area derives its name. From earliest days, it was a slum that attracted sailors and prostitutes and it remained the mean streets of Sydney until redevelopment in the 1970s.TurramurraAborigines often travelled from Lane Cove to Cowan Creek along tracks through present-day St Ives and Pymble. They would stop at a place called Turramurra or Turraburra, meaning "hill" or "high land". White settlers referred to it as Eastern Road and when the railway station was built in 1890, it was given that name. One year later it was changed to Turramurra.UUltimoA loophole in the law is the reason for this name. Colonial surgeon and local gossip Dr John Harris (who gives his name to Harris Street) was charged with ungentlemanly conduct in 1803. His court-martial was averted when he noticed the court documents contained a clerical error - the offence was described as "ultimo" (last month) instead of "instant" (this month). The trial was void and Harris honoured the serendipity by naming his new estate Ultimo.VVaucluseSir Henry Brown Hayes built Vaucluse House, which gave the suburb its name. Brown Hayes was a wily Irishman transported to the colony in 1802 for kidnapping the daughter of a wealthy Irish banker. He was allowed a land grant by officials, who considered him a nuisance and wanted him out of the way. Vaucluse - old French meaning "enclosed valley" - was the name of a French village where Brown Hayes sought refuge while on the run from the law.WWilloughbyOwes its name to Sir James Willoughby Gordon - a quartermaster-general in England when the First Fleet set sail. Gordon is also said to carry his name.WoollahraFrom the Aboriginal woolara, meaning "camp" or "meeting ground". Early politician Daniel Cooper adopted the name for his mansion Woollahra House in 1856.WoolloomoolooEither from the Aboriginal wallamullah, meaning "place of plenty" or wallabahmullah, meaning "young black kangaroo". There were various spellings until the 1830s.YYowie BayThe name Ewey was first bestowed on this once popular holiday locale by surveyor Robert Dixon in 1827. Some suggest it was a corruption of the word ewes, as in sheep, but most likely it's a version of the Aboriginal word yowie, meaning "echo".ZZetlandZetland took its name courtesy of Sir Hercules Robinson, governor of New South Wales between 1872 and 1879. Robinson leased a portion of neighbouring Waterloo and called it Zetland in honour of his British relative, the Marquis of Zetland.

New Year celebrations in Ghana have a markedly different feel to those you will have experienced in Scotland, Wales and England.
As millions marked Martin Luther King Day across the United States yesterday, American church leaders urged their congregations to join Christians and others in their communities to "to exercise common witness and common service as together we seek to dismantle racism and, in so doing, to be the voice and presence of God's love in the world."

Rains stall harvest progressHeavy, even record rains in the heart of the Red River Valley over Labor Day put harvest into a holding pattern that will last most of this week for much of the region and made some gravel roads impassable Tuesday.
By: Stephen J. Lee, Grand Forks Herald
Heavy, even record rains in the heart of the Red River Valley over Labor Day put harvest into a holding pattern that will last most of this week for much of the region and made some gravel roads impassable Tuesday.
Meanwhile, in the northern Valley, combines were rolling in western Walsh County, near Park River, N.D., where little or no rain fell, farmers said.
Record rain for Sept. 6 fell in Fargo (1.99 inches), Bismarck (2.12 inches), Minot (1.64 inch) and Dickinson, N.D., (0.8 inch).
Even larger amounts fell in several locations Monday through Tuesday morning, including a total of 3.22 inches near Marion, N.D., south of Valley City; about 2.7 inches southwest of Fargo, 2.4 inches in Mayville, N.D., and nearby Hatton. Grand Forks recorded 1.6 inches and 1 inch was reported west of Oslo, Minn., in southeast Walsh County, according to the National Weather Service office in Grand Forks.
On the Minnesota side of the Red River, Halstad received 2.14 inches, Climax 1.88 inches, Bemidji 1.74, Red Lake Falls 1.21 and Thief River Falls 1.07.
But the far north end of the Valley got little or no rain. Which is good in many cases: Cavalier, N.D., received 3.5 inches of rain last week and needs no more.
Perhaps the only "dry" area in the eastern half of North Dakota is the Carrington area, which was about 4 inches below normal precipitation before the Labor Day rains.
"We got 2 inches across Steele County is what I have been hearing," said Andy Johnson, ag extension agent in Finley, N.D. "We've got some pretty good puddles out there again, standing in fields. We were working on the dry edible bean harvest for the last couple of weeks, so that is pretty much going to be at a stand-still now for a week or so."
"We had another inch and a half last night, on top of the water standing in the fields," said Jim Stordahl, ag extension agent for Polk County. It's enough to knock off harvest for this week, he said.
"The rainfall this summer has really been a mixed blessing" he said. "It has brought what appears to be good yields, but it's created a lot of harvest issues."
Much of the post-harvest fieldwork hasn't been possible because of wet fields and even the combines left big ruts, he said.
The rain is too late to help dry edible beans and soybeans now, and is more likely to hurt the crops before they can be harvested, Stordahl said.
The corn crop, however, already looking very good, might even use some of the recent rains.
In Steele County, 55 percent of its crop acres last year were planted to soybeans and dry edible beans and that measure is even more this year as less wheat and corn were planted, Johnson said. Dry bean yields have been running well, average and above.
The soybeans, still about two weeks from harvest, look to be above average, if the weather doesn't hurt them or the harvest process, Johnson said.
The spring wheat harvest in the Red River Valley is complete, but for a percent or two of the crop. But across North Dakota, 20 percent of the crop remained in the field by Sunday, slightly behind normal for the date, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's weekly survey of county extension agents.
The spring wheat in Steele County ran 50 to 60 bushels an acre, Johnson said.
"I would call to that average to above average for Steele County, not quite as good as last year," Johnson said. "Protein was kind of low again this year but better than last year."
Wheat yields in Polk County ranged from 45 to 65 bushels an acre, which is average to somewhat above average, Stordahl said. Protein levels are not high, but are better than last year.
Corn is ahead of schedule for maturing in Minnesota and North Dakota, with 85 percent and 77 percent of the kernels dented, respectively, well ahead of the five-year average for Sunday.
Soybeans are about on a normal pace of maturation, with 12 percent of Minnesota's crop shedding leaves and 18 percent of North Dakota's.
The dry edible bean harvest was just kicking into high gear late last week before the rains hit, with 13 percent of the crop harvested in North Dakota and 14 percent in Minnesota, ahead of normal for Sept. 6.
Only 8 percent of the potatoes were dug in North Dakota last week, up only 1 percent from the previous week and right on the five-year average for the date; nearly a third of Minnesota's spuds are dug, also about a normal pace.
The sugar beet harvest appeared halted in its pre-pile phase Tuesday, too.
A wet year
At the Grand Forks International Airport, 20.45 inches of precipitation had fallen by Tuesday for the year, 5.53 inches above the 30-year norm for the period.
Moorhead has gotten 2 inches more than normal and Crookston 1.44 inches more since April 1.
Water was standing in ditches and crop rows Tuesday up and down the Valley.
The bad news is that heavy rains again are forecast for the region later Thursday into Friday.
"The big story right now is the chronic wetness and how it's going to create problems with the harvest," Stordahl said.

I've lost my mojo recently. I've been sick and my depression/anxiety has been bad. However, my meds have been adjusted and my antibiotics are kicking butt. I feel the tingle of creativity bubbling under the surface. I imagine it's like the tingle of the start of an erection after a long time of being unable to get it up. It's scary but exciting. You don't want to rush it, in case it's a false alarm. But what if it's the real deal? This is could be it! A real honest to goodness surge of blood to the head! I better not waste it - quick give me something to put it into. Funny - you could read that last bit as an erection or creativity. I'll let you decided how you want to read it...
I often wonder why I just don't commit to writing. I think it's partially due to me getting so excited when I see something new. I get these wild hairs of "I like that. I have to know everything there is to know about it. I must do it!" But then I do and it gets out of my system and I move on. That explains why my house looks like it does. Roller derby gear in one corner, art stuff in the other. Bar tending class notes mixed in with theatre books. I want to do everything. But I can't do it half-way. Oh no! It must be done right now and with the right equipment. Is that so bad? It's not my fault that I have a hunger for life.
But (as my freshman year psychology would deduce) what if I'm doing this to distract myself from what I know I should really be doing? What if I'm just procrastinating to keep me from fulfilling my purpose in life? Maybe I'm so scared of success that I will do ANYTHING to keep it from happening... NAH I'm just a free spirit. Right?
In other news, this is Toby. He is wearing a bow tie. Why? Because bow ties are cool.
