Product description
George Orwell's dystopian masterpiece, Nineteen Eighty-Four is perhaps the most pervasively influential book of the twentieth century, published with an introduction by Ben Pimlott in Penguin Modern Classics. 'Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.' Hidden away in the Record Department of the sprawling Ministry of Truth, Winston Smith skilfully rewrites the past to suit the needs of the Party. Yet he inwardly rebels against the totalitarian world he lives in, which demands absolute obedience and controls him through the all-seeing telescreens and the watchful eye of Big Brother, symbolic head of the Party. In his longing for truth and liberty, Smith begins a secret love affair with a fellow-worker Julia, but soon discovers the true price of freedom is betrayal. If you enjoyed Nineteen Eighty-Four, you might like Orwell's Animal Farm, also available in Penguin Modern Classics. "His final masterpiece...enthralling and indispensible for understanding modern history." (Timothy Garton-Ash, New York Review of Books). "The book of the twentieth century...haunts us with an ever-darker relevance." (Independent).

Author information
Eric Arthur Blair (George Orwell) was born in 1903 in India, where his father worked for the Civil Service. The family moved to England in 1907 and in 1917 Orwell entered Eton, where he contributed regularly to the various college magazines. From 1922 to 1927 he served with the Indian Imperial Police in Burma, an experience that inspired his first novel, Burmese Days (1934). Several years of poverty followed. He lived in Paris for two years before returning to England, where he worked successively as a private tutor, schoolteacher and bookshop assistant, and contributed reviews and articles to a number of periodicals. Down and Out in Paris and London was published in 1933. In 1936 he was commissioned by Victor Gollancz to visit areas of mass unemployment in Lancashire and Yorkshire, and The Road to Wigan Pier (1937) is a powerful description of the poverty he saw there. At the end of 1936 Orwell went to Spain to fight for the Republicans and was wounded. Homage to Catalonia is his account of the civil war. He was admitted to a sanatorium in 1938 and from then on was never fully fit. He spent six months in Morocco and there wrote Coming Up for Air. During the Second World War he served in the Home Guard and worked for the BBC Eastern Service from 1941 to 1943. As literary editor of the Tribune he contributed a regular page of political and literary commentary, and he also wrote for the Observer and later for the Manchester Evening News. His unique political allegory, Animal Farm was published in 1945, and it was this novel, together with Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), which brought him world-wide fame.
Customer reviews
By James Lovatt 27 Aug 2010
Widely regarded as one of the most influential books of all time, George Orwell's haunting science-fiction thriller Nineteen Eighty-Four will have you gripped up to the final page.
From the start you are plunged into the tormented life of working-man Winston Smith, following his path of love, rebellion and betrayal. Orwell unravels the story bit-by-bit, following Smith's first-person narrative and giving the reader his own anxious captivation. Living under constant surveillance by Big Brother, one must wait - almost agonisingly - until the right moment arrives to unearth the next piece of the mystery. Every character is shrouded in uncertainty, every action builds the tension, and you will often find yourself reading the next chapter before you've finished the last.
George Orwell's heavily political subtext will not appeal to all readers. It does require some understanding of political movements to understand the intentions of the all-seeing Party. Nevertheless, this is not essential to understand the situation Smith is in, and the feelings he has.
Nineteen Eighty-Four is truly a revolutionary piece of literature, and its impact is clear to see from the neologisms which sprouted from it, such as Orwellian, Room 101, thought-crime, and of course: Big Brother.

Despite allegations National leader Don Brash got too close to an Auckland business woman, and too close to the Exclusive Brethren, his party has opened up a big lead in the latest One News Colmar Brunton poll.
National's poll rating has rocketed by 4% to 49%, while Labour's vote has dived by five percentage points to 38%.
The Green party has seen its vote double to 6% and the Maori party remains steady on 3%.
None of the other parties made it past 1%.
So how did the leaders of the major parties faring in the ratings?
Helen Clark escaped relatively unscathed down just 1% to 36%. Brash, on the other hand, has climbed despite the drama about his personal life and is now up three percentage points to 18%.
There has been no change for National's John Key, still on 8%, and Winston Peters also remains steady on 4%.
Managing political trouble has been the hallmark of the Labour-led government but when it comes to how the government is performing, it is getting the thumbs down.
Approval is down six percentage points to 38%, and the number who disapprove has climbed 8% to nearly half of all voters.
With unemployment at record lows, voters are not switching off for economic reasons, in fact our view of the economy is actually improving. Optimism is up 2% to 27% and the number who are pessimistic drops back to 46%.
But that is little comfort for Labour who may now need a stint on the comeback trail.

So I have my first HF rig, itself a gift from XYL's father. The rig is a Heathkit SB-102, which he insists is a 'piece of crap,' 'junker rig' and other such similar remarks. Considering it's the only HF radio I have ever owned, I'm not in any position to respond, but I am going to attempt to bring it back to full operating condition.
This is what I know about the rig:
The bad:
1. It has no audio on the LSB setting at all.
2. I don't have a key, but when testing it, no relay would close on CW mode and there is no output on CW mode.
3. The original speaker is gone.
The good:
1. It will both TX and RX on 20m USB. XYL's father made contact with someone in Canada with it about 2 weeks ago.
2. The original mic and power supply were both included and work.
3. It was free.
4. It worked at one time and nobody's been inside it since then, so presumably, it was built correctly.
I have already PMed a few of you but I'd like to post this in the open forum for any insight. For the time being, I am mostly interested in information that can get me started with troubleshooting this thing. I don't know very much about troubleshooting a radio, although I did spend 4 years in maintenance and am confident in my electrical troubleshooting skills. That said, vacuum tubes are something I'd previously only seen in pictures in a textbook and old films, so I am in uncharted territory. A manual that explained the theory of operation of the various circuits would be a good start.
Advice on where to begin and what I'll need besides a basic multimeter would be a good start. I am not in a hurry and would like to take my time and get this thing back working properly, and then I'll try to get on the air with it.

OTP - July 2015: Winning the Political Game: Politics is More Like Baseball Than Football
Some smart person, I believe it was political columnist and baseball guru George Will, said that politics is a lot more like baseball than football.
What he meant is that if you lose a few football games the season quickly becomes unsuccessful. But if you lose even a lot of baseball games, you can still win the World Series. NFL teams play 16 regular season games. Major League Baseball teams play 162.
In politics you can lose a lot of legislative battles and public policy fights, and still be ...Read More...

Mattingly challenges Puig to adjust to pitchers
I don't know what Mattingly is on about. Puig had a 159 OPS+ in year 1, 143 last year, 141 so far this year. His K-rate has improved every year (16.5% in this year's small sample), the walk rate is high. OK, he probably won't see that first-year HR rate again but in the article, Mattingly says he's not a HR hitter anyway.

HR Derby to feature brackets, timed rounds
Instead of a set number of "outs" per round, each player this year will have five minutes to hit as many home runs as possible. A running clock will begin counting down upon release of the first pitch, though it will stop for any home run hit during the final minute. The clock will stop immediately after those home run balls land and will not begin again until a non-home run ball lands or the batter swings and misses.

American League Preview from The Sports Network
Friday, September 7th (All times Eastern)
Cleveland Indians (58-79) at Minnesota Twins (56-81), 8:10 p.m.
Probable Starting Pitchers: Cleveland - Jeanmar Gomez (5-7, 5.08) Minnesota - Liam Hendriks (0-7, 6.11)
(Sports Network) - Right-hander Liam Hendriks makes his 16th try at a first major-league win tonight when the Minnesota Twins host the Cleveland Indians in the opener of a four-game series at Target Field.
An Australian who was signed as an amateur free agent, Hendriks made the big leagues last season and dropped a pair of decisions in four starts while allowing 29 hits and 16 runs in 23 1/3 innings.
He surrendered a .312 opposition batting average in that initial season and has returned to make 11 starts in his second year, allowing a .325 average while dropping seven straight decisions and posting a 6.11 earned run average across 56 innings of work.
He tossed a complete game in a 1-0 loss to Seattle on Aug. 27, then was chased after just 3 2/3 innings after giving up 10 hits and five runs while getting a no-decision in the Twins' 8-7 victory.
Hendriks got a no-decision in one career meeting with the Indians on Sept. 25, 2011, allowing four runs on seven hits in six innings of a game Minnesota won, 6-4.
For Cleveland, righty Jeanmar Gomez makes a first reach at a career-best victory total in his sixth lifetime meeting against the Twins.
The 24-year-old won five times in 11 appearances with the Indians last season after winning four times in 11 games as a rookie in 2010. He got to five victories this season on Sept. 1 after allowing three runs and four hits in 5 2/3 innings of a 4-3 defeat of Texas.
He last faced Minnesota on May 14 and earned a no-decision after allowing an unearned run on three hits in seven innings of a game the Indians won, 5-4.
Lifetime against the Twins, he is 1-1 with a 3.90 ERA in 27 2/3 innings.
On Wednesday in Detroit, Miguel Cabrera homered early and the Tigers kept pace with the Chicago White Sox in the AL Central with a 7-1 win over the Indians.
Ubaldo Jimenez (9-15), who had a 7.79 earned run average in 10 starts since the All-Star break, took the loss after giving up four runs on six hits in 7 1/3 innings.
"The only thing I can do is go out there and give the best I can as long as I can," Jimenez said. "Definitely I wanted to win the game for the team and for me."
In Chicago, Alex Rios knocked in a career-best six runs on two home runs and the White Sox topped the Twins, 6-2, in the rubber match of a three-game set.
P.J. Walters (2-3), making his first start since June 13 because of a shoulder injury, surrendered six runs on five hits and three walks in five-plus innings.
"I felt like I proved that I can pitch here," Walters said. "I obviously got hurt and it set me back a little ways, but being able to come back and prove that I'm healthy and finish the year strong and help the team win some games."
The Twins have won seven-of-11 meetings with the Tribe so far in 2012, including two of three in a recent series at Cleveland from Aug. 6-8. The Indians won 11 of 18 games in the season series in 2011.

A very unusual passenger is the protagonist of a new promotional video on the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC).
A medieval knight in armour will be promoting the European Health Insurance Card in a video soon! This concept was most popular amongst the voters of the 'European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) Storyboard Competition'.
Almost 200 million Europeans already have the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), according to the latest figures available for 2013. This represents 37.4% of the insured population in the EU. The number of EHIC holders is steadily increasing, with 8 million more citizens carrying it in 2013 compared to the previous year (+4%).
The European Commission has requested information from Spain about complaints that Spanish hospitals providing public healthcare are refusing to recognise the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC).
Just in time for the summer holidays, the EURO 2012 Football Championship and the London 2012 Olympics, the European Commission has launched an application for smartphones explaining how to use the European Health Insurance Card.
The European Health Insurance Card is being used in epSOS, a pilot project co-financed by the European Commission, which aims at developing cross-border eHealth services to improve the quality and safety of healthcare for citizens travelling to another European country.
EU citizens working in one country but living across the border are at the heart of an EU-funded project called SSCALA, on the coordination of social security systems in the France-Belgium-Luxembourg-Germany border regions.
The European Commission has requested Spain to end its refusal to issue European Health Insurance Cards (EHICs) to non-Spanish EU nationals who are neither employed, self-employed nor state pensioners, but who are entitled to healthcare on the basis of their residence in the Spanish Autonomous Communities of Andalusia and Valencia.
The European Commission has decided to refer Italy to the EU's Court of Justice because of discrimination against nationals of other Member States as regards public sector jobs.
The European Commission has requested Luxembourg to end the practice of denying unemployment benefits due, solely on the basis of its national legislation, to persons receiving a pension from another EU Member State.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 1/17/13
The Philadelphia Eagles introduced Chip Kelly as their new coach on Thursday as they hope to turn around their fortunes with the offensive innovator in charge. Kelly, the team's 21st head coach, replaces Andy Reid. Kelly went 46-7 in four seasons as Oregon's coach and attracted attention from NFL teams because of his high-powered offense. The Eagles interviewed 11 candidates before deciding on Kelly. Reid was fired on Dec. 31 after 14 years as the team's head coach. Philadelphia went 4-12 in 2012. "The key was to find the right leader, not make the fastest decision," Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said. "We really were able to circle back with coach Chip Kelly. We had an outstanding interview with him on Jan. 5. It was an outstanding nine hours, we learned a lot. We were told, the same day, that it was really a question of going to the Eagles or going back to Oregon. At that point, we learned he might go back to the University of Oregon, but we kept in touch." Kelly, 49, does ...

From Mountains To Metropolis (2012)
by Rachell Berry and Stephanie CookWhether or not they learned at their father's knee, these musicians keep a Southern musical tradition alive in Birmingham, Alabama.
Filmmaker Statement:
This film is centered on the old-time music community in Birmingham, AL. Old-time music is a style of string band music that was developed in the agrarian Appalachian region of the United States. Though often confused with its modern relative, old-time music is the predecessor to bluegrass. The primary instruments played in old-time music today are the banjo, guitar, fiddle, and upright bass. The old-time music styles that were developed in the South resulted from the intermingling of African slaves and European immigrants. The banjo was developed from gourd instruments that originated in Africa, such as the banjer. Irish settlers put their traditional folksongs to stringed instruments and Africans added the banjo and rhythmic styles, to produce folk music on American soil. This mixture of different cultures on a land that was new to all of them created the raw sounds sung and played through the mountains of Appalachia. Southern old-time music is reminiscent of cornbread, whiskey, life on the farm, and faith. Sacred songs, ballads of love, and simple tunes about agrarian life are all part of this musical tradition. The old-time community in Birmingham is tightly interwoven with the Friends of Old Time Music and Dance (FOOTMAD) contra dancing community. Both old-time music and contra dancing are still practiced throughout Appalachia in homes, jam sessions, and music festivals. The old-time music community in Birmingham actively keeps the tradition of southern old-time music alive by meeting at least three times a month in peoples homes to hold jam sessions. Contra dances are held twice a month at the YWCA in downtown Birmingham and the dances are always accompanied by a live band.
Discussion Questions:
- What are some differences in the social settings in which Old-Time and Bluegrass music are played today?
From where did these different styles of Old-Time and Bluegrass playing/plucking originate?
- What community heavily influenced the development of old-time music in the South?
- How can carrying on the tradition of Old-time music benefit Birmingham's local community?
How can we preserve traditions such as Old-time music and make them relevant for our society today?
Why might certain socioeconomic groups have found Old-Time music appealing?

I can't get over how fantastic this house is!! I love the outdoor space with the grill and the seating area. I love how open the house is and the glass looks amazing.
I love beach homes or beach style homes! I love all white rooms with hints of blues and greens to give it a nice beach look.
As long as there is a big window that overlooks the water, I'll be happy.

Weird how WWE has so many good tag teams that deserve to hold the gold. Used to be for several years that they didn't even have enough tag teams to compete for the tag titles. I love it!!
I too like the blue font. Much easier on the eyes. Well-written commentary and decent opinions, a few typos and maybe, a few too, many commas where, you didn't, need them.
Good blog, I like the blue font and I think its good that someone is keeping up on Smackdown. I see alot on Raw (YES YES YES, Uncooked, The Abdominal Stretch), but i don't really see alot of Smackdown. However, I have one complaint. Cats have claws, Christian had a clause.
@ The piper and akbar
Thanks guys glad to know i'm doing a good job, and akbar looks like I got a regular reader out of you
@Shaz11- Thanks for the comment gonna change, that now.
Good review. You put Ryback won by DQ. Just pointing out before anyone starts bitching.
I personally think the US title reign we are suffering through is because of people talking about how prestigous it is. It was in wcw.
-Enjoyed reading this, good review.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

It is indeed the hope of the Somali people that rebels, warlords and Islamist militia are excluded from Somalia's new federal parliament.
With Aug. 20 only a few days away, it is becoming increasingly clear that the much anticipated and final political benchmarks of the Roadmap for End of Transition Process will not be met exactly on time. What remains is the finalization of the list of 275 MPs of Somalia's new Federal Parliament, elections for Speaker and Deputy Speakers, and President.
The most remarkable political process is the selection process for Somali MPs. The Technical Selection Committee (TSC), consisting of representatives from Somalia's various political groupings, is mandated with assisting and screening new MPs selected by a group of Somali Traditional Elders, who consult their own communities in the selection process. The TSC, as a political instrument, has already accomplished some amazing political acts vis-à-vis the stagnated political landscape of Somalia, where impunity, corruption, favoritism and lack of capacity rule the day.
Credible reports from Mogadishu say the TSC members have rejected over 70 potential legislators, based on a number of factors. Some potential candidates were rejected because of connections to clan rebel groups of the 1980s, such as SSDF, SNM and USC, while others were rejected for appearing in reports by international institutions alleging corruption, and yet others were rejected for being members of Mogadishu warlord factions or armed groups associated with Islamist groups, including Al Shabaab.
This is a new and welcome development in Somalia. A TSC consisting of nondescript Somali members have been empowered to keep strict selection criteria, as per the Garowe Principles and subsequent agreements. If the TSC empowerment remains strong, it is certain that a new federal parliament will emerge from Mogadishu that is credible and might offer a new hope for future political developments in Somalia. It is of paramount importance for the new federal parliament to be credible, because its governance decisions in the coming four years will have implications for a healthy political future in Somalia. Moreover, the incoming government will be Somalia's first permanent government in nearly 22 years, thereby bringing a new set of risks and opportunities for a nation recovering from war, disintegration and displacement.
Secondly, this development underscores the international community's growing concerns and strengthening political will in Somalia affairs. Numerous statements from the U.N., the African Union, IGAD, the E.U., U.S., U.K., and other countries indicate willingness on the part of the international community to take "appropriate actions" against political spoilers in Somalia. The TSC decision to reject potential candidate MPs is the strongest indication yet that the international community's numerous statements have real ramifications inside Somalia.
This change in world opinion is influenced, in large part, by the presence of African Union peacekeepers (AMISOM), who played a significant role and tilting the balance of power in southern Somalia in recapturing territories in Mogadishu and surrounding towns from Al Shabaab militia.
It is indeed the hope of the Somali people that rebels, warlords and Islamist militia are excluded from Somalia's new federal parliament. This creates renewed hope in a lost nation. This renewed hope creates an evolving environment that is conducive to trust, development and progress - all essential ingredients of nation building.

The HOF Rule Change
What Happens After 10 Years?
On Saturday, the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame made its most significant rule change to Hall of Fame voting rules in nearly 30 years, reducing the amount of time a candidate can spend on the ballot from 15 years to 10.
How would this change have impacted earlier Hall of Fame candidates? Would reducing the eligibility requirement from 15 years to 10 years have eliminated worthy candidates for the Hall? Is this change relevant to the Hall of Fame landscape now?
In order to examine this change, I went through every Hall of Fame election from 1949 to the present and looked at candidates who were on the ballot for 11 years or more and had received at least five percent of the vote throughout their first 10 years of eligibility. 1949 was chosen because it was the first year that any candidate had 11 or more years of eligibility (the Hall of Fame did not hold elections during most of World War II). The 5 percent minimum vote threshold was not instituted until 1979. A number of candidates prior to this time received less than 5 percent of the vote but stayed on the ballot. This change was grandfathered, so some candidates (such as Bobby Thomson) stayed on the ballot despite garnering less than 5 percent of the vote. I did not include players like Thomson in this study.
The only exception I made for the 5 percent rule was for candidates who received votes before the modern five-year eligibility standard. Hall of Fame voters used to be allowed to vote for players immediately after they retired if they wished to do so. Phil Rizutto, who received less than 5 percent of the vote the year he retired, is included in this study. Ron Santo, who received less than 5 percent of the vote in his first year of eligibility and was then reinstated at a later date, is not.
On Saturday, several media outlets reported that more than 100 players stayed on the ballot for more than 10 years. This is correct, but does not account for the modern 5 percent rule. When this rule is accounted for, there were only 43 players who received 5 percent or more of the vote for 10 straight years. These players are listed in three tables below. The source for all Hall of Fame voting data and WAR is Baseball Reference.

An imaginative child who doesn't quite fit in finds a kindred spirit in this utterly charming picture book from a debut author-illustrator.Oliver is different. He enjoys his solitude. He likes playing with his friends, who are puppets, stuffed animals, and other toys. With his rich imagination, Oliver's day is never dull. There are bridges to cross, sharks to fight, and treasures to find! But maybe toys don't always give a boy everything he needs. Maybe he needs another kind of companion. Will Oliver discover a way to be, well, different? When his tennis ball rolls across the lawn into the yard of the girl next door, he just might be surprised.
A lovely gift—aglow with warmth and welcome—for those who feel, or have ever felt, different.—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Essay - Phonological Rules in Language Phonology is Essentially the Linguistic Subfield...
Phonological rules in language
Phonology is essentially the linguistic subfield in which examines and dissects ***** system of sound, including the semantic relationship between different sounds (Schramm, 2001). Phonological rules function in ***** acquisition to aid in the development ***** characteristics that are integral to correct pronunciation of words. The understanding ***** phonological ***** is of the utmost importance for language teachers because a gr*****sp ***** these rules results in pronunciations that are more native-like ***** nature (Schramm, *****). Phonological systems are complex and always involve ***** than one rule, and ***** are considered either to be transparent, or with a context that is v*****ible, or opaque, with a context that is not visible (Johnson).
There are four main types of phonological rules in language. These categ*****ies are assimilation, dissimilation, insertion and deletion (Scramm, 2001). The phonological rule of assimilation refers ***** the process of a sound becoming more similar to a neighboring sound (Scr*****mm, 2001). A key example of this rule is nasalization, in ***** a vowel preceding a nasal consonant assimilates, or becomes more ***** by taking on a nasal-like quality. The phonological rule of ***** is prevalent in all languages (Scramm, 2001).
On the other hand, ***** is a phonologic*****l rule that functions opposite to assimilation. With dissimilation, two neighboring ***** become less similar ***** each other (*****, 2001). Fricative dissimilation is an example of this phonological *****. This is where it is necessary to pronounce two fricatives next ***** each *****, such in the numbers "fifth" *****d "sixth." Non-native speakers ***** Engl*****h often find it challenging to master these ***** of ***** sequences (Scramm, *****). Language instructors may ease the acquisition of *****se pronunciations by clearly outlining the processes *****d in these dissimilar sounds.
Another type ***** phonological rule in language is *****sertion. ***** insertion, ***** ***** added to words that are not app*****nt in spelling or slow pronunciation (Scramm, 2001). This can provide confusion to learners of a new language since the way they are instructed to pronounce certain ***** do not correspond ***** how they perceive the words visually. A couple of examples ***** insertion in the English language ***** ***** like "hamster," which is usually pronounced "hamster," or "month," which is usually pronounced ***** an exaggerated "t" sound - "mon**********-th" (Scramm, 2001).
The f*****al category of phonological rules ***** deletion. This ***** of rule deals with processes of pronunciation in which sounds are left out, or deleted (Scramm, 2001). With the process of deletion, confusion may arise when the pronunciation of a word diverges from ***** ***** it is spelled and becomes very similar to the pronunciation ***** another ***** with completely different meaning. ********** example of th***** is the word "police," ***** ***** often ***** as "pleace," which is furthermore very similar ***** the ***** "ple*****e."
***** rules ***** ***** are involved not only in speech, but also in ***** process of reading. Traditionally, it was widely believed that lexical access ***** print always involved phonological processing, ***** occurred automatically (Ferguson, 2006).

TRG Surges into the Baltimore Grand Prix with a One-Point Championship Lead.
Baltimore, MD (August 29th, 2011) – The Racer's Group eagerly anticipates another weekend of racing in the GTC class of The American LeMans Series in this weekend's inaugural Baltimore Grand Prix, a temporary street-circuit around the city's Inner Harbor. The team currently holding a slim one-point margin in the GTC team championship, hopes to put some distance between itself and Black Swan Racing on the tight Baltimore city streets.
TRG sports a two-car effort for the championship battle. The No. 68 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup Porsche will be branded Team Baltimore Racing for this historic event as local hero and previous TRG Championship winning driver, Marc Bunting returns to the series, pairing with Series regular and young hot-shoe, Dion von Moltke in the Team Baltimore Racing/PR Newswire/Marriott Baltimore/South African Airways race car.
"We are especially excited about at pairing up with Team Baltimore Racing who is using this opportunity to give back to the community," said TRG team owner Kevin Buckler. "Having local driver, Marc Bunting back with TRG is great!
"Street circuits always prove to be challenging, and this one will be no different especially since this it is the first-ever event here and there is a bit of the unknown. I am confident in our guys though. We have a hard-working crew to pair with an extremely capable group of drivers in Duncan Ende, Dion von Moltke, Marc Bunting and Spencer Pumpelly. Duncan and Spencer have really been on fire and will be great teammates this weekend with Dion and Marc. We are thrilled to be in the points lead in ALMS, and I can't tell you how much that means to us. We are coming here to win and to add to those points!!"
Coming into the weekend 11 points shy of the drivers championship and joining it's sister car, is the No. 66 Racer's Roast/Fox River Coffee/TRG Porsche 911 GT3 Cup driven by rising ALMS star, Ende and series veteran, Pumpelly. Fresh off of a second place finish at Road America,the duo is especially hungry for another win to add to their wins at Mosport and Mid-Ohio.
"Though it was a great race, we missed the last one by a few corners after running out of fuel." said Ende. "We are coming down to the last few races where every single point counts. I'm really hoping for another strong performance to extend our lead."
TRG's continued run for an ALMS GTC championship will be augmented by several events for its customers and fans. On Wednesday, August 31, Morton's Steakhouse in downtown Baltimore is hosting an exclusive Adobe Road wine dinner open to the public (RSVP via www.mortons.com/Baltimore – Inaugural Baltimore Grand Prix tab; Adobe Road Wine Dinner, $125), beginning at 6:30 p.m. Kevin Buckler, TRG team and winery owner, will celebrate TRG's Team Baltimore Racing entry into the Baltimore Grand Prix, by introducing specific menu pairings with the Adobe Road wines. TBR drivers Marc Bunting and Dion von Moltke will be there for the event, created to support TBR's charities – Boy Scouts of America, University of Maryland Children's Hospital and Catholic Charities.
Catch the race live in it's entirety on ESPN3.com, 4:15pm EST, September 3rd or watch the 90min recap on ABC, 4:00pm EST, September 4th.

Its hot hot hot here 31deg and its times like this that its not always easy to keep the troughs & hanging baskets from drying out,
Here''s a tip that'll help, make ice cubes and put these on the top of the compost in your troughs/baskets,
they'll take longer to melt and by the time they have melted the plants would have used the water rather than the water drying out,
You can also make ice feed cubes and use these the same way,
just freeze tomato mixed fluid feed and then fill the iced cubes and freeze (make sure you mark the ice cube trays your using so they're not mixed up with the forhuman use ones )
Another good idea is to water of an evening, its cooler then and the plants will not dryout over night, then in the morning use the ice cube idea.
Better to use water retentive granules mixed into the compost from teh start and then water generously in the evening so they can soak up the excess and release it by day. In very hot or windy spells, water again early morning before going to work or doing other jobs.
Most hanging basket plants are half hardy and aren't going to enjoy being doused with ice cubes although they're better than nothing.
And most people will have ice in the freezer,
Most people on the O.A.P; income will be able to afford ice but with the cost of living the way it is for a lot of people i'd say ice cubes they can afford and it gives these people a hobby to enjoy at little cost,
The same goes for a lot of handy house hold items to help gardening folk to manage without going to the cost of chemicles etc to fight the verious bacteria & insects from eating their plants, Im talking about washing-up liquid in water that help black fly be delt with "after all a lot of people would chuck the water away after washing the evening dishes, why not chuck it over the bean's etc.
If it's pointed out the use of everyday items people can use i feel it will help more people to enjoy gardening.
The tried & tested ways are well worth pointing out.
Well, we'll have to agree to disagree. I don't use any chemicals agains aphids or other pests apart form wildlife friendly pellets for slugs and snails.
Soapy water is indiscriminate and bad for beneficial insects such as hoverflies and ladybirds which will eat thousands of aphids and maintain a balance if left alone. I feed the birds all year and the parents hoover up aphids and caterpillars to feed their young in the nest. More natural balance.
I dunk hanging baskets ina big bucket to give them a good soak.
Just keep watering in the evening - forgot to put gel crystals in my baskets this year but I'm finding that watering in the evening seems to work OK for them.

Giovanni Domenico Cassini (June 8, 1625–September 14, 1712) was an Italian mathematician, astronomer, engineer, and astrologer. Cassini, also known as Giandomenico Cassini, was born in Perinaldo, near Sanremo, at that time in the Republic of Genoa.
Along with Robert Hooke, Cassini is given credit for the discovery of the Great Red Spot on Jupiter (ca. 1665). Cassini was the first to observe four of Saturn's moons, which he called Sidera Lodoicea; he also discovered the Cassini Division (1675). Around 1690, Cassini was the first to observe differential rotation within Jupiter's atmosphere.
In 1672 he sent his colleague Jean Richer to Cayenne, French Guiana, while he himself stayed in Paris. The two made simultaneous observations of Mars and thus found its parallax to determine its distance, thus measuring for the first time the true dimensions of the solar system.
Cassini was the first to make successful measurements of longitude by the method suggested by Galileo, using eclipses of the satellites of Jupiter as a clock.
During this time, Cassini's method of determining longitude was used to measure accurately the size of France for the first time. The country turned out to be considerably smaller than expected, and the king quipped that Cassini had taken more of his kingdom from him than he had won in all his wars.
The Pope asked Cassini to take Holy Orders to work with him permanently but Cassini turned him down because he wanted to work on astronomy full time.
In the 1670s, Cassini began work on a project to create a topographic map of France, using Gemma Frisius's technique of triangulation. The project was continued by his son Jacques Cassini and eventually finished by his grandson Cassini de Thury and published as the Carte de Cassini in 1789 or 1793 It was the first topographic map of an entire country.

Any woman who could be your mother!

A sexual predator, typically one with pedophiliac tendencies. Gender is no discrimination with a "cougar," as they will take either. A cougar is usually emo and full of hate for the world.
Oh man, did you hear about that cougar who raped that 14 year old girl last week? I hope he goes to jail! He is like 25 and still lives with his parents!

sticking valve
During annual my c150 had a valve sticking incident on #1 exhaust. A previous incident was blamed on this too. It has been suggested I use an additive in my fuel periodically which is found in automotive stores. Also suggested, there is no absolute preventive measure. Comments please.
Re: sticking valve
Id have to know how much time is on the suspect jug,but Id guess that you probably have a worn valve guide.The older Continental Cylinders(some of them) were prone to this(from what Ive heard).Ive got around 2200 hours on 26G,s engine,and have yet to have a sticking valve problem.Ive heard of a"potion"called Avblend,and have considered purchasing this for "GP" but Im not sure if it would be a worthwhile expense.
The Valve guide situatuon to me sounds more likely than not,as the valve goes up and down inside the guide,wear occurs,and as the wear occurs,,,carbon will build...and friction...etc,at some point the valve stem will bind in the guide,and thats that...I imagine youll get a few more in-depth possibilities as well.....
Re: sticking valve
I think the mechanic who witnessed the problem ruled out the guide. He manually dislodged the valve and added a little Marvel Mystery Oil. As for the age - the airframe has about 4700 and engine (supposedly) 1000 since major. I've spent a bundle and fixed about every thing but at this point wouldn't give a dime for the log books before I bought her. There were bad sign offs.
Re: sticking valve
I worked for a A&P who has a C-150 and the engine has about 300 hrs smoh.
One of the valves got stuck every once in a while. He also used some Marvel
Mystery oil in the fuel. I was told that the 100 LL is why the valve was most
likely to be sticken. He now is Stc for auto fuel and has not had anymore
problems this year.

It is the first career honor for the Bozeman, Mont., native.
BOISE, Idaho (9/28/2009) - Boise State's Lauren Hickok has been named this week's Western Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Week for Sept. 21-27. It is the true-freshman's first such career honor and the first for Boise State this year.
Hickok, a freshman defender from Bozeman, Mont. (Bozeman HS), earned tournament MVP honors at the Wyoming Cowgirl Classic last week after anchoring the Boise State defense to a pair of shutouts. Hickok helped Boise State to the Wyoming Cowgirl Classic title with a 1-0-1 record as the Broncos recorded a scoreless draw versus UC Riverside followed by a 1-0 victory over Gonzaga. Hickok repeatedly turned away opponent's attacks into the Boise State defensive third as she helped the Broncos extended their undefeated streak to seven with the back-to-back shutouts. In addition to playing all 200 minutes over the weekend, she also took four shots placing three on goal.
Hawai'i's Britta Bourne was named the WAC Offensive Player of the Week. Bourne, a senior forward from Honolulu, O'ahu (Montana), scored two goals and registered an assist for five points to help Hawai'i to a pair of wins over Detroit-Mercy. Bourne recorded the game-winning goal in the 68th minute to give the Rainbow Wahine a 1-0 victory in the team's first match.
