Visionary: St. Louis Marie Grignon de Montfort (1673-1716)
St. Louis Marie Grignon de Montfort (1673-1716) was an extraordinary mystic, prophet and apostle of the fervent Marian devotion. Its greatest merit is that he has introduced countless people to the love of the Blessed Mother of God and the practice of Marian devotion. Marian devotion of his inspiration presupposes two elements that combine in one body inseparable: the perfect practice of true veneration of Mary and deeper commitment to Jesus, ie the total consecration of themselves to Christ through daily rededication to Mary.
On June 5, 1700 Grignon was ordained priest. In 1701 he became a chaplain at the hospital for the poor of Poitiers of which, after various vicissitudes, was appointed director. From 1706 he devoted himself to parish missions for the people, his true vocation, and founded the Daughters of Divine Wisdom, a hospital dedicated to the Order of Most Blessed Virgin Mary. He was a missionary traveling throughout France, and during these trips was often accompanied by the appearance of a "Lady dressed in white." The apparition was seen by some believers. From the prayers of St. Louis Marie Grignon, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, is the profound influence of these apparitions. Because of the persecution of the Jansenists, who at that time dominated the public and ecclesiastical life, his writings for a long time could not move. Only much later, his treatise on True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin (Traité de la Sainte Vierge à la vraie devotion), which was written in 1842, was widespread. The complete works of Louis Grignon first spread to France and England, then across the German-speaking world, thanks to the publications of the Swiss publishing house Canisius. Grignon was beatified in 1888 and canonized by Pope Pius XII July 20, 1947. The encyclical Ad diem istum, written by Pope Pius X for the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the declaration of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception, all written in the spirit of Grignon de Montfort, has promoted the link between the cult of Mary and the modern apostolate. From careful investigation on the mystical Marian Grignon clear the relationship with that of Berulle and Henry Suso.

Visionaries: Maria Cárdenas
An old lady named Maria Cárdenas made a living by washing other people's clothes, a job she did every morning at the shores of the lake. On November 18, 1709 she took a bulk of clothes, and as usual, went to the lake to start washing them. This old lady was at her chores when she saw a small wooden slab floating towards her. She picked it up thinking that it might be of some use.
When Cárdenas finished her work, she went home carrying the clothes, the wooden slab and a small vase with fresh water. She then placed the board on top of the vase, before noticing a small figure in the board but could not tell what it was. Feeling curious about this, she went directly to see what was happening and found the slab glowing with a bright light to later find the image of the Virgin of Chiquinquirá.
Surprised and filled with a strong emotion, Cárdenas immediately ran out of her house located on the 2nd avenue, screaming and shouting the words "Miracle! Miracle!" Her neighbors went where the woman was to find out that the apparition of the Virgin Mary was real. From that day on, the faith of the Zulians found their Queen in the "Chinita". As it has been expressed by many people, "She is the way that leads to Jesus".
Since that day the street where Cárdenas lived was renamed "El Milagro" which means Miracle in Spanish, and to this day it is one of the most important streets in the neighborhood of "El Saladillo" in the city of Maracaibo. To this day the wooden slab with the image on it can still be seen in the Basilica in Maracaibo.
Legend has it that the government decided that the wood with the image belonged in the capital city, Caracas. So they ordered it moved. As the soldiers following the order carried the image away from Maracaibo it got heavier and heavier until finally no one could lift it. They returned it to the Basilica of Maracaibo where it has remained with the belief that no one can remove it.

In October of 1717, Dom Pedro de Almedida, Count of Assumar, was on his way to the state of Minas Gerais from Sao Paulo. He would have to pass by Guarantinqueta, a small city in the Paraiba River valley. The people of Guarantinqueta decided to hold a great feast to honor the Count, and a lot of fish would be needed.
However, it was not the season for fish and the water seemed deserted. After many hours of catching nothing, the fishermen were very depressed. Among the fishermen were three men who always prayed to Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception -- Domingos Garcia, Joco Alves, and Felipe Pedroso. Before going out to fish, they asked God to help then in this difficult task, to find enough fish at this time when no fish were available. Felipe knelt and prayed, along with his companions, "Mother of God and our Mother, we need to find fish!"
Just before they were ready to give up, Joco cast his net one more time near the Port of Itaguagu in hopes that they would find fish. However, they found a body of a statue! Joco called out in surprise, "Domingo! Felipe! Come and see what we have!" They cast the net one more time and brought up the head of the statue!
They very carefully washed the statue and saw that it was Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception. They wrapped her in some cloths and continued to fish. Domingo commented, "We worked all night and have found no fish!"
Felipe had a proposition: "Let's continue to fish with faith in the Virgin Aparecida (who appeared)." From this moment on, the net became very full with fish. This was the first miracle of Our Lady of Aparecida.
It is not known how the small (less than three feet high) statue came to rest at the bottom of the river, but its artist is known, Frei Agostino de Jesus, a "carioca'' monk from Sao Paulo who created artistic clay sculptures.The image was made around 1650 and must have stayed submerged in the river for many years because it lost its original polychromy. The image is now a brilliant dark brown color, and is covered by a stiff mantle of richly embroidered thick cloth, allowing only her face and hands to be seen. She wears on her head the imperial crown with precious stones with which she was crowned by the Apostolic Nuncio in 1904. In 1930 Pope Pius XII proclaimed her principal patroness of Brazil.
Her feast on October 12 is a national holiday. Pope John Paul II visited the Virgin "Aparecida" in her much frequented sanctuary and gave it the title of Basilica. A few days before the visit someone got hold of the statue and threw it forcibly on the floor. Although the frail image was broken into many pieces, the loving and careful work of several artists put it together again and the Virgin, "Aparecida" returned to her niche in the Basilica.

Alejandro Colindres, and Lorenzo Martinez, an eight-year-old boy, were returning to the village of Suyapa, tired from working all day gathering corn. They were half way there when night fell as they reached the Piligüín ravine. This seemed to them like a good place to spend the night and they lay down on the hard ground. Right away Alejandro felt that something, apparently a stone, was preventing his finding a comfortable position for his back. In the dark, he picked it up and threw it far away. Strangely enough, on lying down again he felt the same discomfort, but--intrigued--this time he did not throw it, instead he put it away in his knapsack. At day break he discovered that the mysterious object was a charming small image of Our Lady carved in cedar wood.
Our Lady of Suyapa measures only six and a half centimeters. It is a very old carving, probably the work done with devotion by an amateur artist. Her angelic looks reflect the nobility of the native race. It is a dark image with an oval face and shoulder length straight hair: her tiny hands are joined together in a prayerful attitude. The original painted color of her robe is light pink, which now can be seen slightly, covered by a dark cloak trimmed with golden stars and adorned with valuable jewels. The object of great veneration on the part of the Honduran people, the image rests on a solid silver sphere, and appears surrounded by a circle of silver rays, which evoke 'the woman dressed by the sun' mentioned in the Book of Revelation.
In 1925, Pius XI declared Our Lady of Suyapa patroness of the Republic of Honduras, and February 3 was chosen as her feast day with proper Mass and office. The first shrine was blessed in 1780 and the first notable attested miracle, occurred in 1796. The present enormous church, with space for the multitude of pilgrims who visit Suyapa, was visited by John Paul II in 1983. In the land of the poor, this sanctuary of Santa Maria de Suyapa is located in one of the humblest parts of the city.

Visionary: John Fiedler (mason)
On the site where once stood a church of the Premonstratensian XII century, a new church was to be built in the eighteenth century. On the night of April 19, 1759 the mason John Fiedler had a dream: Mary predicted that the next day in the ruins of the collapsed church, exactly where the altar was, he would find something valuable. She also commanded the builder to put it on the newfound new altar so everyone could see. The next day the mason discovered the place indicated in the dream, a statue of ivory top 11 cm of the Mother of God, a masterpiece of the fourteenth century. The Cardinal Migazzi confirmed the discovery of the miraculous statue. After the discovery of the sacred statue, a new church was built and pilgrims began to flock in large numbers. Mariabesnyö still is one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Hungary.

Valley Forge, Pennsylvania (USA)
Visionary: George Washington (President of the USA)
It has been reported that George Washington received a vision from a Lady while at Valley Forge,
and that she gave him a prophecy. The account of Washington's vision appeared in a newspaper
article first published in the National Tribune in 1859 and reprinted in 1880. Later reprinted in The
Stars and Stripes newspaper owned by the National Tribune, in 1931 and the latest printing on
December 21, 1950. The vision was related to a reporter named Wesley Bradshaw by an officer
who served under General Washington at Valley Forge, named Anthony Sherman. This vision has
never been historically confirmed, and there have been some who have made somewhat feeble
attempts to discredit it. Thus, it is worth a mention in this paper. In the vision, Washington sees
three great trials that the future country of America would face. The vision showed him images of
what would later be the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and the greatest threat, a war fought on
the soil of the United States as the final conflict near the time of Jesus' return to reign on the
renewed earth.
Here is an excerpt from the vision about the final conflict:
And again I heard the mysterious voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn.' At this the
dark, shadowy angel placed a trumpet to his mouth, and blew three distinct blasts; and taking
water from the ocean, he sprinkled it upon Europe, Asia and Africa. Then my eyes beheld a fearful
scene: from each of these countries arose thick, black clouds that were soon joined into one.
Throughout this mass there gleamed a dark red light by which I saw hordes of armed men, who,
moving with the cloud, marched by land and sailed by sea to America. Our country was enveloped
in this volume of cloud, and 1 saw these vast armies devastate the whole country and burn the
villages, towns and cities that I beheld springing up. As my ears listened to the thundering of the
cannon, clashing of swords, and the shouts and cries of millions in mortal combat, I heard again
the mysterious voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn.' When the voice had ceased, the
dark shadowy angel placed his trumpet once more to his mouth, and blew a long and fearful blast.
Instantly a light as of a thousand suns shone down from above me, and pierced and broke into
fragments the dark cloud which enveloped America. At the same moment the angel upon whose
head still shone the word 'Union,' and who bore our national flag in one hand and a sword in the
other, descended from the heavens attended by legions of white spirits. These immediately joined
the inhabitants of America, who I perceived were well nigh overcome, but who immediately taking
courage again, closed up their broken ranks and renewed the battle.
Again, amid the fearful noise. of the conflict, I heard the mysterious voice saying, 'Son of the
Republic, look and learn.' As the voice ceased, the shadowy angel for the last time dipped water
from the ocean and sprinkled it upon America. Instantly the dark cloud rolled back, together with
the armies it had brought, leaving the inhabitants of the land victorious!
Then once more I beheld the villages, towns and cities springing up where I had seen them before,
while the bright angel, planting the azure standard he had brought in the midst of them, cried with
a loud voice: 'While the stars remain, and the heavens send down dew upon the earth, so long
shall the Union last.' And taking from his brow the crown on which blazoned the word 'Union,'
he placed it upon the National Standard while the people, kneeling down, said, 'Amen.'
The scene instantly began to fade and dissolve, and I at last saw nothing but the rising, curling
vapor I at first beheld. This also disappearing, I found myself once more gazing upon the
mysterious visitor, who, in the same voice I had heard before, said, 'Son of the Republic, what you
have seen is thus interpreted: Three great perils will come upon the Republic. The most fearful is
the third, but in this greatest conflict the whole world united shall not prevail against her. Let every
child of the Republic learn to live for his God, his land and the Union.' With these words the vision
vanished, and I started from my seat and felt that I had seen a vision wherein had been shown to
me the birth, progress, and destiny of the United States.

Bocca Pignone di Ripalta (Italy)
Title: Madonna della Ghianda (Madonnna of the Chestnuts)
Visionary: Domenico Malatesta
In 1778 and again the following year, the Virgin Mary appeared on a branch of a chestnut tree in Mouth pinion Ripalta, in the province of La Spezia, to three shepherd children near the ruins of a church of the twelfth century. The following days, other people have also seen the Blessed Virgin in the same place. The messages point to the need of humanity's conversion, the practice of the sacraments, meditation on the S. Scripture. The image of "Our Lady of the Chestnut" is very popular among believers in the region. According to some historical sources, it would, however, the representation of another Marian apparition took place in the late Middle Ages.

Visionary: St. Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774 - 1824)
Maipú (Chile)
Title: Our Lady of Carmel (statue)
In the year 1785 Don Martin de Lecuna ordered an image of Our Lady of Carmel from a sculptor in Quito, whose worship and devotion have since been associated with the struggles for independence of the Chilean nation. On December 5, 1811, Generals José Miguel Carrera and Bernardo O'Higgins asked the Vicar of Santiago de Chile for a "Solemn Mass of Thanksgiving" for success in the struggle for independence.
On January 5, 1817, General José de San Martin placed his baton in the right hand of the image and solemnly named her Patroness of the Army of the Andes. On the eve of the battle of Chabuco, the army, led by O'Higgins proclaimed the Virgen of Carmel patroness and general of the Chilean armed forces. In 1818, as the Spanish forces were advancing, the people and their leaders crowded into the cathedral to place their prayers and trust at Our Lady's feet. They promised her to raise a church in her honor at the site where Chile's independence is signed: "In the very same place where the battle is waged and victory is won, a sanctuary will be raised to the Virgin of Carmel, Patroness and General of the Chilean armed forces, and the same magistrates who make this vow will lay the foundation in the very same site of her mercy, which will be that of her glory. "
That was why in the midst of the battle of Maipú, on April 5, General San Martin encouraged his army with the cry: "Our Patroness, the most Blessed Virgin of Carmel, will give us victory, and right here we will build the church we promised her to commemorate this triumph." Before the end of the year, the first stone of the first sanctuary was laid. The shrine was completed in 1892. The present church was completed in October, 1974. In 1923, at the request of the Chilean bishops, the Holy See proclaimed the Virgin of Carmel principal patroness of all Chileans, not just of the army and navy as she had been until then.
There are two Carmel images that Chileans especially venerate; the one at the National Shrine of Maipú, carved in Quito, Ecuador in 1785, and the one, made in France, at the Basilica of the Savior in Santiago de Chile, that was solemnly crowned in 1926. The liturgical feast of Chile's patroness is celebrated on the last Sunday of September.
Visionary: Guillaume-Joseph Chaminade (1761-1850)
Guillaume-Joseph Chaminade (1761-1850) refused to swear allegiance to the constitution of the French Revolution, and for this he had to hide out in Bordeaux. In this city, the Holy Virgin appeared to him several times and delivered him from the danger of being discovered by soldiers. In 1797 he was exiled to Zaragoza and on his return home he founded the religious Order of the Marianists (SM) or brothers and sisters of Mary. The Order is dedicated to education (even universities in the U.S.). The basic rule of the Order is the consecration and devotion to Mary. Priests and lay people in the congregation have the same rights.
Visionary: Janos Zavloczki (blind man)
Janos Zavloczki was a devotee to the cult of Mary. One day he had an accident and became blind. The Blessed Virgin appeared to him and advised him to wash his eyes in a miraculous fountain. The fervent Christian, animated by the hope of being freed from this infirmity, immediately followed the indication of Mary and was healed. The news of the miracle spread quickly and caused a great sensation. First, a chapel was built then, given the large number of pilgrims, a church was erected.
Matemblewo (Poland)
Miraculous Image
Witness: Rosina Puechner (18)
During the winter of 1790, the Virgin Mary allegedly appeared to a man from Matemblewo, in the diocese of Gdansk, while walking alone in a forest, near an ancient church built in honor of the Mother of God. The message of Our Lady drew on the themes of peace, penance and prayer. Although historical records exist, it seems that the church authorities have not formally investigated this event.

Miraculous Image
Witness: Rosina Puechner (18)
On January 17, 1797, a teenager, Rosina Puechner saw the glass of his window, an image of the Holy Virgin. After having contemplated for about an hour, Rosina rubbed the glass with the intent to remove it but it was impossible to erase. The phenomenon was carefully examined by an ecclesiastical commission, and finally was declared miraculous. The glass of the window with the image of Mary was brought into the church and remains exposed Absam before the pilgrims as a devotional object of particular devotion to Mary. The church was then called Maria Absam Sanctuary.
LaVang (Vietnam)
Title: Our Lady of LaVang
Visionary: Villagers Quang Tri
Many Christians took refuge in the jungle near Quang Tri where they prepared themselves for martyrdom. Many people died from the weather, wildlife, sickness and starvation. One night while praying the rosary they were visited by an apparition of Our Blessed Mother dressed in pure white light holding a child in her arms, with two angels at her sides. She comforted them and told them to boil the leaves from the surrounding trees to use as medicine. She also told them that all those who came to this place to pray, would get their prayers heard and answered: "My children you begged and implored me in my name, I will preserve you from all dangers, and will I hear anyone here who prays."
All those who were present, including Buddhists, witnessed this miracle.

analysisBy Mbulelo Vizikhungo Mzamane
As I reflect on Chinua Achebe's passing, two things spring to mind about him. Both relate to his pronouncements on The Novelist as Teacher, the title of one of his most memorable essays.
First, Achebe speaks to us about Africa's unfolding culture of liberation. The challenge of the liberation struggle, past the flag independence post, is the integration of the former colonised to their human stories (history), culture and heritage. South Africans do mistake the trappings of independence for its substance, often substituting words like "freedom" for independence and "post-apartheid" for neo-apartheid (read neo-colonialism). Liberating the African mind from the stranglehold of Western cultural imperialism, the unfinished business of the liberation struggle, is an African renaissance imperative. Orature has the capacity to restore lost memory, reclaim past accomplishment, implant a liberatory ethos in people's hearts and, therefore, decolonise their minds. Chinua Achebe writes in "The Novelist as Teacher": "Here then is an adequate revolution for me to espouse - to help my society regain belief in itself and put away the complexes of the years of denigration and self-abasement. And it is essentially a question of education, in the best sense of that word."
Secondly, Achebe spells out his creed in deploying orature for literary purposes as follows: "I would be quite satisfied if my novels (especially the ones I set in the past) did no more than teach my readers that their past - with all its imperfections - was not one long night of savagery from which the first Europeans acting on God's behalf delivered them." The point that should resonate with South Africans is that with very few exceptions, mainly among novels written in African languages, African writers from South Africa, show a remarkable lack of historical consciousness. Orature is the bedrock of historical reconstruction among Africans, as writers such as Sol Plaajte and Mazisi Kunene demonstrate. Achebe delves into orature to recreate his people's culture, their cultural values and social environment in pre-colonial times. The process restores his people's voice, where colonial history silences them. The perspective of the Igbo people of what is today the eastern part of Nigeria dominates Achebe's project to correct distortions and misrepresentations from colonial history. He teaches that people are agents of history and not its hapless, helpless victims. They each have distinctive personalities and some of their traits are laudable and others reprehensible. They are not simply part of the exotic African landscape and they do not merely constitute some backdrop to the action, as in colonial novels about Africa by such writers as Humphrey Rider Haggard, Joseph Conrad and Robert Ruark. Achebe's characters act rather than being acted upon all the time and from their decisions, and from the kind of individuals they are, certain good or bad outcomes flow.
These are timeless lessons Achebe teaches. Moreover, for South Africa, the issues continue to rear their ugly head. Human Rights Day for South Africans, does not go further back than the Sharpeville tragedy; the women struggles do not go further than the march to Pretoria in 1956; the land issue is only traced as far back as 1913. These historical distortions are then canonized in the school curriculum. A reading of Achebe should compel South Africans to re-examine what outrageously passes for history but is little more than regurgitating the colonial master's version and then giving it back to him untainted to obtain a pass grade in matriculation.

Malware analysis: Nailuj sys file
Lately a lot of malwares are using rootkit techniques. Private and antivirus companies are trying to develop tools against malwares but, despite the fact that most of the techniques are well documented around the net, only a few companies are getting positive results. This particular malware is a perfect example because when it came out only a few tools were able to recognize its nasty operations. Don't know what you think but that's sound a little bit strange for me.
Nothing new, nothing special... just a malware analysis from me.

I wanted to keep my existing hosted services and also point sub-domain names to my own development/test server. So I set up the main sites as primary domains (steps 1,3 in image below) pointing to various hosted services:
mydomain.com, 'A' record to IP of professional hosting service
mail.mydomain.com, 'CNAME' record to ghs.google.com
and then some dynamic domains (steps 1,2,3 in image below) as sub-domains pointing to the test server:
abc.mydomain.com, 'A' record to IP of my-server
xyz.mydomain.com, 'A' record to IP of my-server
Note the DNS names that EveryDns give you, you'll need to go to your registrar and point your domain name to these name servers (all 4 of them, nice!).
Allow a few minutes or so for this info to filter through the servers, and you should be able to browse to your site.
Updating the dynamic IP
To keep EveryDns automatically updated with your server IP address you call a special page on their website; they check the source of your request and update their records accordingly. There are a few update clients available that do this for you (and some routers provide built in support), but I wanted a bit more control and it was fun to roll my own using powershell.
In summary this script gets your current IP address, compares it to the last IP address update, and if different does a new update:
$getUrl = "http://whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp"
$setUrl = "http://dyn.everydns.net/index.php?ver=0.1"
$user = "your-username"
$pass = "your-password"
$log = "path-to-log-file"
$update = "path-to-cache-file"
$timestamp = (Get-Date).ToString("yyyy.MM.dd HH:mm:ss")
# check
$ip = (new-object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString($getUrl)
if ($error) {
Add-Content $log "[$timestamp] FAIL** Get ip failed with: $error"
if ((Test-Path $update) -and ($ip -eq (Get-Content $update))) {
exit # nothing to do
# update
$webclient = new-object System.Net.WebClient
$webclient.Credentials = new-object System.Net.NetworkCredential($user, $pass)
$result = $webclient.DownloadString($setUrl)
# verify
if ($error) {
Add-Content $log "[$timestamp] FAIL** Update id failed with: $error"
$code = [Regex]::Match($result, "Exit code: (\d+)").Groups[1].Value
if ($code -eq 0) {
Set-Content $update $ip -Force
Add-Content $log "[$timestamp] UPDATE Set ip: $ip"
else {
Add-Content $log "[$timestamp] FAIL** Received exit code: $code"
To automate the running of the script, create a new task in Windows Task Scheduler; I chose to Trigger the task at startup and repeat every 5 minutes, and Action start program Powershell with arguments -command "& 'path-to-my-powershell-script-file' " (mind the quotes, single inside double).
Its well worth the effort to be able to spin up new test/demo sites at will.

I see this as all about choices. I hope JerryH fits on the GW and it works out for him. On paper, it seems to tick the boxes that work for him to have the confidence to do the rides he wants.
Hell, some people won't buy a bike because it only came in certain colors and not what they wanted. I see the centerstand thing as at least a reasonable desire to have when plunking money down on a bike OR that it have tubeless tires. Very reasonable. Basically, either go oldschool all the way (tubes, centerstand, kick start would be great) or modernize (tubeless, fuel injection and so on).
I like having choices in the 250 range. Used to be the Rebel and Yamaha 250 (v-twin even!) were it.
Personally, I am hung up on Fuel Injection. The only bike I have that has carbs is my Ural. As soon as my kid is old enough to ride on the back with me, I am selling the sidecar rig. I gotta have FI. Where is my internet picture
I like all the choices we have now. Hopefully more will come!

Chinese buyer says solar firm MiaSole will expand
Beijing's support for manufacturers of traditional silicon solar cells has prompted complaints by the United States and Europe that it is violating free-trade rules.
Li acknowledged his company is "going against the tide" of a market that favors silicon. But he said the renewable energy market should rebound late this year or in early 2014, boosting demand for thin film. He said the more advanced technology required to make it means small suppliers cannot rush in as they did with silicon, which was easier to make.
Hanergy began as a dam operator and says it now has 6 gigawatts of hydro generating capacity. It later added wind farms and launched a business in 2009 to build and operate solar power facilities.
Li said the MiaSole acquisition was paid for out of cash flow from Hanergy's hydro and wind energy businesses of several billion yuan (several hundred million dollars) a year.
"We don't have to worry about money," he said.
MiaSole and Solibro make thin film of a compound called CIGS, for the metals copper, indium, gallium and selenide. It can be sandwiched between sheets of glass that can be used as tinted windows on a building or integrated into flexible material for use on rooftops.
MiaSole shipped thin-film glass panels with a total generating capacity of 50 megawatts last year and plans to start selling the flexible product this year, said John Carrington, the company's CEO. He said it sees the United States, India, Japan and the Middle East as promising markets.
The company expects to reduce prices to below 50 cents per watt of generating capacity by next year, cheaper than even the current depressed price of silicon cells, Carrington said. He said it eventually wants to cut that to 33 cents.
MiaSole's owners concluded last year it needed a partner that could supply financing and line up generation projects, Carrington said. He said that while prices of solar cells are depressed, developers that can supply completed projects are very profitable.
"The opportunity for us to have a broader offering is very compelling," Carrington said.
Hanergy announced an agreement in September to outfit IKEA stores in Britain with thin-film solar panels. Li said the company is pursuing possible similar deals with retailers in the United States.
As for whether the tie-up with Hanergy might make MiaSole eligible for Chinese research grants or other aid, Carrington said, "It's hard to tell. We're not sure yet."

Swimming Training Trip Blog
The Mountaineer swimming and diving Key Largo edition of the annual training trip is in full swing.
After a treacherous travel day on the 27th, we got our first TEAM practice in on the 28th. After swimming out the travel in the morning, the middle distance and distance groups got after it in the pool and established this year's "Swimmer of the Practice" with a Conch Shell. The first 'Conch' winner was Aidan Fumagalli.
The 29th was a single morning practice in the water, followed by watching the Pinstripe Bowl and then drylands after. A swim/kick set separated by fly/free 50's set was a great challenge for us and Mandie Nugent put forth a great effort and won the 'Conch' for that practice.
December 30th was our first official "groups" practice day which consisted of drylands, a speed/power circuit and a great stroke set. Jay Hickey took home the 'Conch' honors!
New Year's Eve morning practice! Today is about swimming FAST and ending 2012 with a swimming bang! This morning that's just what they did! The set- 3x200, 3x100 & 3x50 or 3x100, 3x50, 3x25 was dominated by 'Conch' winner Hugh Simmonds!
The weather's been great, the training's been great and the Mountaineers are getting faster and stronger. It's been a great way to start the Mountaineer Training, Key's Edition! Up next team practice at 6 p.m.

Cayman S versus the road of 3,000 curves
It's one of TG mag's greatest adventures: we headed to the badlands of Mexico in a Porsche...
Posted: 04 Oct 2013
Next morning, and things are not going well. Twenty minutes ago, as we pulled out the entrance of the hotel and into Durango's early morning traffic, a mangy, stray mongrel leapt in front of the Cayman. I stamped on the brakes and swerved to avoid the mutt as it scampered back onto the pavement, then watched in the rear-view mirror as it sauntered back into the road and was swiftly flattened by the pick-up truck behind us. A bad omen. And now, despite our plan to count every corner on the Road of Three Thousand Curves, we can't tick off the first three without disagreement...
"That wasn't three. That was still two."
"No, there was a straight in between. Right-straight-right. Two and three."
"That wasn't a straight. That was a... lesser bit of the same bend. There, that one was three."
"That was four."

Kate Middleton starts headwear trend in the U.S.
Who would've thought young U.S. women want to buy feathery headwear? Just add one princess-to-be, and you've got a new trend on your hands.
This kind of colorful headwear is called a "fascinator." Delicate flowers are attached to a headband, creating movement as the wearer walks.

DURHAM, N.H. - Matt Glode (Barrington, N.H.) netted a pair of goals to lead New Hampshire to a 3-0 win over Boston University in America East men's soccer action at a soggy Lewis Field Saturday afternoon. UNH is now unbeaten in its last five games and moved to 9-3-2 overall (3-1-2 America East). The Terriers, ranked No. 24 in this week's Soccer America poll, fall to 7-5-3 and 2-2-1 in conference play.
Glode netted his first goal with 8:06 left in the opening half to give UNH a 1-0 lead. He took a pass from Eric Masi (York, Maine), who was standing at the top of the box. Glode, 10 yards out, made a move past BU goalkeeper Matt Smith (9 saves) and fired it home for the tally.
Glode's second goal game with just under 15 minutes left in the match. Nicola Chicco (Claymont, Del.) played a ball past Smith in the left corner. The ball snuck past two Terrier defenders and bounced off the left post. Glode pushed the ball over the goal line to make it 2-0.
The Wildcats made it 3-0 with 2:41 left when Chicco netted his team-leading ninth goal of the season. He took a long pass down the left side from Brendan Hankard (Glastonbury, Conn.). Chicco then pushed a ball 20 yards through the sloppy field that trickled over the goal line to put the game away.
Mike Vignola (Hudson, N.H.) turned away six BU shots to record his third shutout of the season. Both teams made 17 shot sttempts.
With the win, UNH moves into third place in America East temporarily, as Albany, who entered the day tied for fourth with the Wildcats, took on Stony Brook late Saturday afternoon. Hartford, the third place team entering Saturday, dropped a 4-2 decision at Vermont.
UNH plays its final regular season home game on Wednesday (10/30) when it hosts Maine in a 2 p.m. contest at Lewis Field. The 'Cats close out the regular season with a game at Stony Brook on Sunday, November 3.

Department English Year 1997 Semester 2 Degree Master Type of Document Master's Thesis Language zh-TW.Big5 Chinese Title The "Reel" Self and Performative Reality in Woody Allen's Zelig and The Purple Rose of Cairo Date of Defense 0000-00-00 Page Count 95 Keyword 1920 30 periods capitalism film industry gender performance individualism racial identity Abstract My thesis mainly deals with Woody Allen's two films: "Zelig" and "ThePurple Rose of Cairo." I focus on the relation
between the formation of identity and the role of mass media,
especially American film industry from its burgeoning in the
1920s to maturation in the 1930s. Both films make use of the
fictional quality of film product and the culture phenomenonof
star to disorder the hierarchy of reality and fiction, and to
parody the sense of self-consciousness. We may view these two
films as an allegory for the formation process in which "reel"
human identities are shaped up with theestablishment of American
film industry. The image of real man with legitimated
identities finds references in the ideologically designed stars
in the reelworld. Zelig is recognized as a true American after
his chameleon performancequalifies social demand. "The Purple
Rose of Cairo" represents a miserable world where the cinema is
the public's last hope to hang on to. What is marked in the
films is the prevailing anxiety of Americans, especially males,
caused by the ideally scripted models and an emasculinizing
social condition.The self that is promised to be fulfilled in
American dream is founded only in stylized new selves,
symbolized in imagined film products. However, the ideal
images are products in a society where the individualis under
the demand of the collective. This individual dream in teh
images isrevealed as illusory and an impossible imagiantion
promoted by Hollywood andAmerican government in different
periods. In the conflic between the dream and social demands,
the American self is realized in a condition of alwayschanging
and being alienated. The self has to conform to the artificial
imagesto satisfy its insatiable dream of being independent and
ideal. As the twofilms show, the imaginary identity provided by
the dream may cause the spectator's exploitation by Hollywood
and can even be held responsible for the misery in life.

Dancing With The Stars
Dancing With the Stars 2013: Lisa Vanderpump, Andy Dick, D.L. Hughley Join Cast: Report
The Dancing With the Stars Season 16 rumors are coming fast and furious now, since we have less than 24 hours to wait to hear the official cast list.
RadarOnline has a new report echoing some of the cast members we've heard before, including American Idol's Kellie Pickler, Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman, boxer Victor Ortiz, and Bachelor Sean Lowe. (NFL star Jacoby Jones has already been confirmed by ABC.)
But they added some names we hadn't heard yet, including Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Vanderpump (mother of Giggy The Pom!) and two comedians, Andy Dick and D.L. Hughley. Comedians have a history of not dancing well on DWTS, so this would fit with The Powers That Be's hint about casting some "bad" dancers. Then again, they also have an Olympian on the list so who knows what the casting theory is.
According to @DWTSGossip, Andy may be paired with a new pro (meaning Sharna Burgess or Lindsay Arnold) with Lisa getting the other new pro, Gleb Savchenko.
What do you think about these new names? Take them with a grain of salt at this point, but — if true — would they make you encouraged or discouraged about the spring 2013 season?

There are great music and painting apps for the iPad, for example. But how many iPad owners are musicians or like to paint with their fingers? In the grand scheme of things, not many, I suspect. So when I bought a TouchPad after HP discontinued it, I never assumed that I would use it for actual work. But I am doing just that. I'm using it to respond to email, to do research on the Internet, to take notes during meetings.

Though the real reason is probably so she won't have to share the cake, Jessica Simpson says that after the media frenzy around her first marriage, she may elope this time with her fame whore boyfriend Eric Johnson. She tells Us magazine…
"No date has been set. We've both been married before. We're enjoying our commitment to each other. We want to take our time."
"I will be part of designing my own wedding gown. We might elope if it gets to that point."
I have no idea why she would follow a sentence about designing her dress with one about eloping but whatever. Maybe designing is just always on her mind. I heard she even designed extra big forks and spoons because the regular sized ones took too many trips to get all the food from the plate to her mouth and she would get winded. "What am I, at the gym", she would say.

Luanda — The Angolan minister of Education, Pinda Simão, on Friday in Luanda pointed the rehabilitation of schooling infrastructures and the recruitment of new teachers as being among the great deeds of the sector in the year 2012.
The official made this statement at the yearend greetings ceremony with his staffs, in which he also reminded that in 2012 the Education Ministry built and rehabilitated several educational institutions all over the country.
"In 2012, the Ministry proceeded with the programme of refurbishing schools. With the schools having the conditions to function in the best way possible, we've created libraries in secondary schools with technical vocation", he explained.
Pinda Simão also informed that this year was concluded the recruitment process of 18.663 teachers and for next year the institution intends to increase the number.
He also admitted that with the number of the population growing there is a need to expand the schooling network, having also disclosed that in 2012 the Education Ministry started implementing the programme of Information and Communication Technologies in secondary schooling.

EXCLUSIVE: Calls for 77-mile cycle superhighway alongside the Cambridge to Oxford 'Varsity' line
Posted: March 14, 2014|
Calls for a cycle superhighway stretching from Cambridge to Oxford alongside the 'Varsity' line should be considered by planners, city MP Julian Huppert has said.
Dr Huppert wants an investigation to be launched into linking the two cities for cyclists along the proposed 77-mile rail route and Cambridge Cycling Campaign has called for the infrastructure to be put in place.
The move comes after London Mayor Boris Johnson said there should be a 120-mile cycle superhighway between the capital and Birmingham built alongside the planned HS2 rail line.
Department for Transport chiefs have commissioned a feasibility study of the cycle route. And last year the Government launched a nationwide drive to promote cycling in cities and national parks across England.
A total of £77 million was pledged for Cambridge, Oxford, Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, Newcastle, Bristol and Norwich.
Dr Huppert told the News: "Any idea which has the potential to encourage cycling and improve safety is worth investigating further.
"It is so important when adding to or improving the country's railway network that we make sure we look at all related issues and improving facilities for cycling and pedestrians must be included.
"Whether it is possible to include a cycle super highway along the whole stretch of the route is debatable but I would definitely like to see it considered for the Varsity line. As a cycling city it makes sense that investment in a rail line which serves Cambridge should take cyclists into account."
Reopening the 'Varsity' line between Oxford and Bedford has already been approved, with the section to Cambridge expected to cost £250 million.
A spokesman for the cycling campaign said: "We support the creation of high quality cycle routes between towns and cities and would support a Varsity cycle-superhighway, but we should also look at improving links between Cambridge and Ely, Royston, St Neots, Newmarket and other surrounding areas as well."
The case for reopening a railway line linking Cambridge and Oxford was made to the transport minister Stephen Hammond by Dr Huppert at the end of last year.
It was hoped funding for the project could be secured between 2019 and 2024.
The Cambridge stretch of the old line via Sandy shut in 1967 and part of the track bed is now blocked by development.
Four new route options have been published by the Railfuture campaign group, who would prefer a line going via Cambourne.

Cambridgeshire County Council bosses would like to complete the link to Cambridge, but the Railfuture group has said land must be earmarked.
The rail group said a new two-track electrified line with trains running at 100mph could offer a 35-minute journey time from Cambridge to Bedford.
