Performance Plus Consultants are the industry leaders in total supply chain optimization. We define total supply chain optimization as .....
Our view of a supply chain starts with raw materials, usually extracted from the earth, and ends with the ultimate consumption of a finished product by the end consumer (people like you and I). Utilizing this view of a supply chain, costs can be divided into the following major components:
Organization's can no longer ignore their impact on the environment. Fortunately, it is possible to simultaneously reduce carbon emissions and total supply chain costs!
If you share our vision of supply chain optimization, Performance Plus Consultants offers an vast array of services designed to assist you. The type of service you select depends upon your position in the supply chain.
One of the largest components of greenhouse gas emissions is your transportation network. Our services include network design and route optimization.
In addition to the tactics utilized for distributors manufacturers can also pursue packaging optimization, supplier delivery optimization, and manufacturing lot size optimization. We can also assist your S&OP team in the development of appropriate carbon footprint measures .
Conventions, sales meetings and shareholders meetings can generate a significant carbon footprint. Your organization can demonstrate its environmental leadership by measuring the carbon footprint of the event and coordinating the steps required to make it carbon neutral.
Anytime people come together for a conference, expo, or business meeting, they generate a carbon footprint. Most travellers are well aware of the footprint generated by air travel. However, rail, and car travel can also generate significant CO2 emissions. Added to this is the environmental impact of lodging and the meeting facility.
Would you like to make your next event a carbon friendly event?
We offer services to quantify your event footprint, and more importantly to offset the environmental impact of the event on the environment.

Bermudagrass is one of the most widely used lawn grasses in the South. It has a very deep root system and is drought- and heat-tolerant. The leaves are not cold-tolerant and turn brown when the temperature approaches freezing. Its vigorous, creeping growth habit makes it a weed that invades nonbermudagrass lawns and flower beds. The slightly hairy, gray-green stems, or stolons, creep along the soil surface and are 6 to 18 inches long.
To prevent bermudagrass from invading your lawn from other lawns, mow higher than 1 1/2 inches, spot-treat as needed each summer, and water adequately during the summer. Avoid spreading creeping stems to uninfested areas with the lawnmower. Fertilize more heavily in the fall than at any other time of year if you have a cool-season grass.

Yeah, based on today's posts to that bug report, it should land in the next few builds.
The patches have passed review, but it's always possible more issues could be found that hold it back (like Display List based invalidation, it passed review, passed tests, and proceeded to break random things for users when it landed)

Did facebook do something or Nightly has gone a lot faster at dealing with messages etc in facebook ?
Even scrolling etc has improved , I mean it feels fast! (Any big thing happened after IonMonkey?)

HiDPI should land in tomorrow's build, but it still probably won't run smoothly as there still seems to be some plugin scaling issues. Will give it a try when the update get pushed. I have a feeling I will be back to using chrome by the end of the day if plugin support is too messy.
Many things happened... but I switched to Opera..
But still I will tell you what happened.
Thebes Layer related bug fixed which was holding back azure content acceleration, slow path for gdi fallback fixed, Input slowdown one bug regression from FF16 also fixed.
Now recently DLBI also landed and Stub Installed not to mention HiDPI support for Mac OS X.

The Passing of the Wrestling Torch
by, 05-18-2011 at 05:08 PM (5794 Views)
Cool Ethan Super Blog #1
I am new to the IWC, but I read probably hundreds of threads, and definitely thousands of posts to decide whether there was a point in me creating an account and having my voice heard, I decided there was a point. This is my first blog.
I have heard some reference towards the torch and passing the torch in wrestling. This is an interesting concept but it's been quite poorly defined and people who talk of it have no reference point, I intend to change that.
The torch was not passed when Tommy Dreamer put over Zack Ryder in his last WWE match, he was just paying respect to the company that gave him a chance by losing to one of their up and coming talent. The torch could not be passed by Tommy Dreamer simply because he never had it. In my opinion the torch is so much more than Tommy Dreamer (No offense Dreamer marks, I'm sure you're out there). I feel like the torch could be seen as something above championships, something beyond the WrestleMania's, a true be all, end all. To be a torch bearer you must be at the top of your game but more importantly a reflection of the wrestling world at the time you held it, which takes me to where it all began...
The year was 1984, the NWA was prominent but Vince McMahon's World Wrestling Federation had really started to take off. For the first time there was a wrestling promotion ready to go global and stand on it's own as a separate entity from the territory system. WrestleMania would take off in no time, but this company still needed a real star if they were going to take the world by storm, and on January 23,1984 when Hulk Hogan defeated the Iron Sheik for the WWF Heavyweight Title they had that star. Hulk Hogan had acquired the torch. Hulkamania would take it and run wild for the better part of 10 years unopposed until a young upstart going by the name of The Ultimate Warrior arrived on the scene.
*Some would argue Flair or Andre over, or before, Hogan, but while they were already territory legends, Hogan was the first to have that incredible It factor as well as such an explosive crowd reaction. Andre left them in awe, Flair left them entertained, but Hogan made them believe(Also no offense to old school NWA fans, Flair v.s. Steamboat FTW, but the WWF was now the most powerful pro-wrestling entity*
The Ultimate Warrior got the roars and energy from the fans, and had the perfect look and intensity to lead a generation (He even had Hogan's limited in ring skills), Hogan was looking to slowly bow out, at least for awhile, so the uniquely charismatic Warrior was the logical choice and on April.1,1990 Hogan dropped the title to Warrior in an epic match made so by the atmosphere from the crowd in the Skydome. But there was a problem...
*Some would argue Randy Savage over, or before, Ultimate Warrior but as evidenced by WrestleMania 5, regrettably the Macho Man was never able to escape Hogan's shadow, at least not completely*
The Ultimate Warrior's backstage attitude had become an issue and his behavior was unbecoming of a face of an international company, more importantly, everyone loved the Warrior don't get me wrong, but besides his flashy colors nothing really set him apart from Hogan. With Hogan still kicking around and more importantly, in the hearts of the fans, the option was open for Hogan to take his torch back, he did. The 1991 Royal Rumble came down to Hogan and the Warrior, in the most unconventional way to take the torch, Hogan eliminated the Warrior from the rumble and claimed his spot back on top heading into WrestleMania 7 where he captured the WWF title from Sgt. Slaughter, Hulkamania continued.
*I see no other options for a torch bearer at this point in time, Sting and Flair were big fish in a small pond but Hogan was a whale in a tear drop*
Hogan would persevere as the standard bearer of the WWF, he left and filmed some crappy movies, but he came back and ruled all once again. However, while Hogan was gone or while he was there, both, a tag team specialist by the name of Bret Hart had broken into singles competition and with impressive wins under his belt and a WWF Championship to his credit was poised to take the seat atop the WWF, Hogan's prized torch, and run with it. The stage was semi-set for WrestleMania 9, a fan's dream match, Hulk Hogan v.s. Bret Hart for the WWF Championship but for whatever reason, I not going to speculate, Hogan refused to put Bret over and hand him the torch, things would be rewritten and Hogan would come out on top. This was a poor decision as after Hogan's title reign ended, Hogan would head to WCW with his torch in hand, a torch the WWE wouldn't get back for 9 long years. However, the #1 company needed a torch so in the eyes of the fans a new one was created for Bret Hart as he represented a new era of smaller more skilled grapplers who connected to fans through words and their actions in the ring.
*Stars came and went in abundance during this period but the two standard bearers were mentioned. So people know, WCW didn't become number 1 until Hogan came over with his torch, so the #1 company still had to have a torch*
While Hogan kept his torch throughout his WCW reign, Bret had his stolen from him at the 1997 Survivor Series when the infamous Montreal Screw-job occurred. Bret was leaving for WCW and wanted to go out on top but the power players backstage in the WWF had other plans and didn't want to lose their other torch during the Monday night wars. So they screwed Bret out of the match and the title so he couldn't go out on top. Shawn Michaels claimed the torch, providing a brand new attitude towards it, and moving the company towards a new direction, but that all came to a screeching halt due to a serious back injury.
*I know what you're thinking but Hogan never gave the torch to Sting in WCW, have you seen Starrcade 1997? And Flair was above the torch at that point, so that leaves Goldberg. Goldberg is an interesting case, Hogan went down cleanly to Goldberg, which is indeed rare for him but this falls more on the Tommy Dreamer/Zack Ryder lines, where with a career winding down he gave the nod to an up and coming talent. As we all know Goldberg's push eventually fell by the wayside and there was no torch there, Goldberg would get a nice pop if he came back today but his reaction will never be what it was before the breaking of the undefeated streak*
Shawn Michaels suffered a broken back and everyone thought his career was over, but he dragged his ass out to the ring, on the grandest stage of them all and lost to Stone Cold Steve Austin, Torch in hand, of course Mike Tyson knocked the torch out of his hand and handed it to Stone Cold, the only logical choice for the new direction of the WWF. Only fitting that the man who ushered in the attitude era would hold the torch, but he didn't do it alone. He did it with an up and coming Triple H, an up and coming Chris Jericho, a veteran Mick Foley, The Undertaker (A man beyond the torch), and more importantly The Rock.
*Stone Cold was the only option on the WWF roster at the time, and Hulk Hogan held the torch until WCW crashed, near the end nobody else even remotely deserved the 'Hogan Torch'*
Hogan returned in 2002 and quickly the dream match became reality, Hulk Hogan v.s. The Rock. The stage was set for WrestleMania 18 in the same arena that Hogan once mistakenly handed the torch to The Ultimate Warrior. It was there in the Skydome, March.17,2002, that Hogan made another mistake. The Rock helped build the attitude era, he deserved the torch at one point but this was too little too late. The Rock slowly began to fade away into Hollywood after he got the torch and left the WWF/E behind. Taking it with him. He left us with torch v.s. torch, Rock v.s. Austin at WrestleMania 19, it was a classic but at the end of the day, because of their star power and connection to the fans, neither relinquished their torch. That brings me to today...
*I know that Hulkamania survived WrestleMania 18, and even claimed another title reign but the force Hogan now had was no longer irresistible and, TNA not withstanding, he would slowly bow out*
In conclusion, I have figured out why so many fans today miss the attitude era, because the two biggest attitude era stars still hold the torches. Torch bearers have something in common, whether you love them or you hate them, they have the respect of the fans, and they entertain like nobody else can. We have none of those in modern day WWE, we lack mega stars which is why when the great one came back, it was one of the greatest moments in recent history. This is the opportunity, as much as I hate to say it and want to see the great one stomp Mr. Pebbles, It's best for Cena to go over in an amazing WrestleMania match, a clash of the ages, where a star is finally born and a torch is passed. At WrestleMania 28 Cena needs to win for the sake of the WWE, unless the Rock is coming back(I would probably crap myself to hear those words). Now all that's left is one more match from SCSA, only one problem, who should be his opponent? (Your thoughts?)
Torch Bearers:
Hulk Hogan x2 (No Match/ 1991 Royal Rumble)
Ultimate Warrior (WrestleMania 6 v.s. Hulk Hogan)
Bret Hart (No Match)
Shawn Michaels (Survivor Series 1997 v.s. Bret Hart)
Stone Cold Steve Austin (WrestleMania 14 v.s. Shawn Michaels)
The Rock (WrestleMania 18 v.s. Hulk Hogan)
Beyond The Torch:
The Undertaker
Ric Flair
Triple H (Upon 2009 Return)
Shawn Michaels (Upon 2002 Return)
Chris Jericho (2009-Present)
Common Misconceptions About the Torch:
Mr. Perfect v.s. Bret Hart, Ric Flair v.s. Shawn Michaels, Tommy Dreamer v.s. Zack Ryder, Goldberg v.s. Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold Steve Austin v.s. The Rock= Not Torch Passing Matches

By MATT CRANE
Mississippi State University student Sagen Gunnoe was crowned the 2013 Mrs. Mississippi America on Nov. 11 at the Millennium Theater inside the Goldstrike Casino Resort in Tunica.
Gunnoe, a second-year veterinary student at MSU, came to Starkville in 2007 with her husband Lacy to pursue her dream of working with animals.
"I was finishing up my biology degree at the Mississippi University for Women and always dreamed of attending veterinary school. I knew MSU had one of the best," she said. "I dedicated all of my time to building my resume, volunteering in animal clinics and working for free in Columbus, Starkville and Birmingham, Ala. in hope of having a shot at attending MSU-CVM."
Gunnoe said one reason she entered the pageant was to share her story of the struggles she faced living with severe Scoliosis and undergoing intense surgeries.
"It took me six months in a hospital bed in my parents's living room to learn to walk, eat and hold my head up on my own all over again," she said. "I'm left with almost two feet of titanium and in steel in my spine, but more importantly, that experience left me with the will to not just survive, but to thrive."
Dealing with issues of self-esteem and wanting to fit in with the girls around her, Gunnoe said she finally realized she would not be defined by her struggles or allow them from keeping her from reaching her full potential.
"It took me a while, but I finally realized that my experiences make me unique and special — I didn't want to be like everyone else after all," she said. "I entered the pageant to inspire other young women to believe in themselves — no matter how different they thing they may be — and to follow their dreams."
Mrs. Mississippi America Executive Director Delayna Bridges said the pageant's goal is to recognize the accomplishments and triumphs of married women across the country.
"Once some women get married, they put thing on the back burner and forget about taking care of themselves, and they don't get the recognition they deserve for the jobs they do as women," she said. "It's a tough balancing act, and in this pageant, we want to recognize women who do that and do it well."
Gunnoe said she entered the competition weekend with an open heart and an open mind embracing the joy of simply participating.
"My mind was on having fund and honoring God, so I think that definitely took some of the competitive pressure off of me because I knew, regardless of the outcome, I would be proud of myself," she said.
"Pageantry used to embody a lot of anxiety and stress for me. I focused so much on trying to be perfect that I totally lost sight of who I was and what I had to be thankful for."
Gunnoe said her realization of the illusion of perfection made her begin to embrace her own flaws.
"This experience was incredibly humbling for me," she said. "I still have a hard time seeing what other people see in me, so to be chose to represent our great state is an absolute honor."
Shocked at her own victory, Gunnoe said the world seemed to freeze at the upon the sound the hearing her name called.
"I felt so humbled and undeserving," she said. "Each lady that competed with is so special in her own way, and I am incredibly thankful for the opportunity to have met them."
While her attention will now turn back to working hard at the MSU College of Veterinary Medicine, Gunnoe said she is looking forward to competing on the national level next year.
"I will compete in the Mrs. America Pageant in Tucson, Ariz. Aug. 20-28 alongside 50 other passionate and driven women," she said. "No matter how it turns out, I will do my very best to represent all the sweet Southern ladies and gentlemen from the great state of Mississippi."

A little over a year ago I joined Amazon.com by way of TeachStreet.com, and was lucky enough to join a newly minted team at AmazonLocal. There's a great tradition in my group where every new member of the team gets their favorite choice of drink, and you guessed it — as a Maker's Mark fan, I liked my bourbon. So on the first day, I was excited to find a beautiful bottle of bourbon with the trademark red wax sealing the goodness in. Neat.
Though I was a big fan, I wished I knew more about the Maker's Mark Ambassadors earlier on. It's great in a lot of ways — you get a ton of perks and most importantly you get exclusive news. Some news that include new exclusive bottles Ambassadors get first dibs on or sad news like what they delivered on 2/9/13, letting all of the Ambassadors know about diluting their bourbon to meet the increase demand around the world. When I re-read the email, I started to become more skeptical whether this was really true or not. Let's be real here, this statement alone in the email made me wonder: "We've also done extensive testing with Maker's Mark drinkers, and they couldn't tell a difference." Are you kidding me?
This was clearly simple economics — a supply and demand issue here. In order to meet the demand, they needed the supply but since there's only a finite amount of bourbon barrels due to the aging process — their proposed solution was to dilute the bourbon to fulfill the demand they were seeing. The other choice, which is the choice I believe they were going to go with from the start, is to increase the price of a bottle of Maker's Mark and not dilute the bourbon. But how could you increase the price of your product without anything changing with the product? Easy, have your customers want you to increase the price. Brilliant.
Just think about the chain of events here:
- 02/09/13: Maker's Mark emails Ambassadors about diluting their bourbon to meet high demand with their low supply.
- 02/09/13 to 02/17/13: Ambassadors use social media and take it to the web. Pleas from the community to stop them from diluting the product.
- 02/18/13: Maker's Mark listens to the community and reverses their decision and communicates this to the Ambassadors first.
- 02/18/13 to beyond: Ambasssadors and the community feel responsible for the reversal from Maker's Mark.
- 02/18/13 to beyond: Maker's Mark continues with business as usual.
After all of this, Maker's Mark comes out on top because they were able to do the following:
- Galvanized their whole community with their Ambassadors leading the charge.
- Garnered a lot of press around this fiasco. Sometimes any press is good press.
- Got unsolicited permission from the community to increase prices due to demand.
- Gain praise in the end from the press and fans about how they handled the situation.
[blackbirdpie url="https://twitter.com/MakersMark/status/303185037220786177″]
You can't get any better than that. This was an absolutely brilliant chain of events, which I believe was all planned. They were able to literally make a huge splash out of a non-event. Don't be surprised if you see your next bottle of Maker's Mark a couple bucks more than you're used to.
Kudos to you Maker's Mark, job well done.

China to Invest $128 Billion to Develop Coal-Based Synthetic Fuels
14 December 2006
Xinhua. China will invest more than one trillion yuan (US$128 billion) to develop alternative coal-based synthetic fuels to ease the country's dependence on oil imports, according to the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC).
The project aims to produce 30 million tons of liquefied coal and 20 million tons of dimethyl ether (DME) by 2020. Coal-to-olefin (CTO) output is expected to hit 8 million tons and coal methanol to reach 66 million tons.
The money will also be spent on building seven industrial bases nationwide to produce coal-based energy source on a massive scale, including the biggest alternative fuel production base in the lower reaches of the Yellow River.
Xinjiang is projected to produce 10 million tons of liquefied coal, and the eastern region of Inner Mongolia will become the major methanol supplier, with an annual capacity of 10 million tons.
A pipeline, at a cost of five billion yuan, will be built to transport 10 million tons of methanol a year from Inner Mongolia to the northeastern Liaoning province.
In July 2006, the Chinese government determined that it would not approve coal liquefaction (Coal-to-Liquids) projects with an annual production capacity of less than three million tons; coal to methanol or dimethyl ether (DME) projects of less than one million tons; and coal-to-alkene projects of less than 600,000 tons, according to a circular released by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC). (Earlier post.)

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference China to Invest $128 Billion to Develop Coal-Based Synthetic Fuels:
What are the odds they'll sequester the extra CO2? (I'm pretty sure I know the answer to that one already.)
Perhaps, at least they will be competing less on the world market for peak oil in the future.
China will let nothing stop their determination to build an auto based society so that they can fully experience the joy that America has had all these years living the high life in the fast life. They are determined to have the "good" life regardless of the consequences. When it comes down to choosing between the car and the planet, the Americans and the Chinese will choose the car every time, hands down.
Future generations can go eat algae.
China had the opportunity to build a sustainable society and increase the well being of their citizens at the same time. Instead, they have decided that the fun factor of the automobile overrides any considerations of livable cities, smog, global warming, water shortages, and all the other nasty things that we can just let the future citizens of the planet worry about.
Hmmm. $128 billion. Well, I guess you have to get them credit for realizing how unsustainable their given course is given the existence of peak oil and all the resource wars that problem implies.
Talk about sending the wrong signal. I suspect low cost Chinese manufacturing was a reason consumers enjoyed low prices for the last decade. Now it has unleashed an environmental monster and a backlash is looming. Then again the West has no moral authority to complain as the Chinese are only just catching up.
Even if the process CO2 was sequestered (which it won't be) there is still the tailpipe CO2.
Well perhaps the rest of the world will have to end up slapping carbon taxes on their chinese imports. That is, after the rest of the world adopts a carbon price!
China has also been highly criticized for keeping their currency highly undervalued, which has the effect of increasing their industrial sector more than would occur otherwise.
The Chinese won't do anything that threatens their economic growth. That's not really a shock.
posting errors
What is up with this spam block? I can't post my comments.
The CO2 might be piped for enhanced petroleum recovery.
The silver lining might be that there will be a massive installed capacity for conversin of carbon/hydrogen rich material into fuels/chemicals.
_The caveat is that it may be decades before this transition takes hold. Furthermore, the PRC may not have enough land to do this, even with algae and all human, animal, agri/forestry and other biomass wastes combined.
The latest issue of Nature is devoted to biofuels and other alternatives like CTL. They mention that a combined CTL/BTL facility would still reduce net CO2 and act as a bridge to full BTL.
This might not boost CO2 emissions very much.
China has huge pollution problems (according to both statistics and my son who has been there several times) but they are talking of changing course. Of course it is just talk for now.
The Chinese want growth but they also like 'showcase' projects. Their cleanup efforts are likely to focus on keeping the 'latest and greatest' activites very clean while allowing older industries to continue polluting heavily.
To their credit, China is putting in light rail for Beijing and Shanghai. These will probably be the largest subways in the world, and one of the goals is to make driving around the city slower and less appealing than taking the train.
However, cars will probably increase anyway. If they get anywhere near the US car density of ~0.77 cars/person, that's over a billion cars and we're in deep trouble, especially if they're big cars.
Finally, CTL and CTO take a lot of hydrogen, C to DME and C to MeOH take even more. Where is the hydrogen going to come from?
Finally, CTL and CTO take a lot of hydrogen, C to DME and C to MeOH take even more. Where is the hydrogen going to come from?
From the water that is reacted with the coal, and from the coal itself (which has approximately one hydrogen per carbon, ignoring the water content.)
The CO/H ratio of the syngas can be adjusted by the water-gas shift reaction:
"Where is the hydrogen going to come from?"
Very relevant question. The H2 comes from gasification of coal or biomass, resulting in H2 and CO. If the hydrogen economy is in place, one can stop right there and use the H2 for all kinds of energy needs. Very efficient and very low pollution. The heat resulted in the gasfication process can be recycled to produce electricity via steam turbine thus preventing energy wasting.
However, for now, additional steps will be necessary for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis to produce liquid fuels for current vehicles. This will entail considerable more complexity, cost, lower energy efficiency, and considerable more environmental pollution. The increase in pollution is per a recent GCC article comparing the pollution problem of current petroleum usage vs. replacing that with CTL products.
This is another argument for the eventual hydrogen economy, supplemented by crops of PHEV and BEV as well. Only electric vehicles and H2 vehicles will deliver pollution-free transportation that can make transition to the eventual all-renewable energy economy seamless. For now, generate H2 and electricity from coal or NG. For future, generate H2 and electricity from biomass, solar, or wind energy. Once the investment toward Hydrogen and electric vehicle infrastructure is made, hopefully sooner rather than later, our transportation energy security will be in much better shape!
CTL machinery now will allow China to easily switch to H2 production when the hydrogen economy is all in place. Tremendous progress is being made in H2 storage, generation and utilization that no doubt, one day we all will get to enjoy pollution-free transportation, as well as home heating and all industrial energy consumption!
Also, CTL machinery and process will ensure much more rapid adoption of Clean Coal Technology, that, so far has not seen much use due to its high cost.
Instead, coal-fired powerplants are spewing out untold amounts of mercury and other pollutions into the air that we breath. The mercury will poison our future generations. How many people can remember the term "Mad as a hatter" when mercury was used in leather tanning for making leather hat? The Roman empire's decline, some historians blamed it to lead poisoning from the use of lead cup for wine consumption and lead pipes.
Hopefully, future historians won't get the chance to blame the demise of our civilization from mercury poisoning of the fetal brain development, causing new generations of mentally inferior people! May be it is already happening!!! Intense summer heat is not good for the brain, either! That's why most intellectual centers world-wide are located in colder climates. Heat can cause brain damage and predilection toward violence, and global warming ain't helping it, either!
Extra H2? If they are gasifying coal, they have lots of carbon. So they take what they need to make what they want and decide what to do with the rest.
Allen: re piping CO2 for EOR. Are there any depleted oil wells in the area? Might be better off doing some algae farming.
In the end, will this $128 billion project produce more than half the GHG that the USA/Canada coal fired power plants already produce?
Being about the worse per capita polluters, we are not in a (good) position to judge others.
When China + India + Brazil + others with large population emit as much per capita GHG as we already do, it may be the proper time to quickly move to higher grounds.
OTOH, we could show the way and do as Germany has done, i.e. more (better) than Kyoto by a wide margin. However, there is no hope that it will happen, at least in Canada, with GHG at +24% instead of -12%.....
From the water that is reacted with the coal, and from the coal itself (which has approximately one hydrogen per carbon, ignoring the water content.)
That's a pretty high hydrogen content coal (more like kerogen), but anyway ... that leaves a lot of carbon which either turns into CO2 or must be sequestered. H2 from water takes a lot of energy input, and more importantly, where's the water going to come from? BTL has the right C:H ratio to start with, but there's no excess H for CTL.
more importantly, where's the water going to come from?
The water requirements for the chemical processing itself are modest. Almost all the water used in a CTL plant will be for evaporative cooling, unless they decide to pay a bit more for 'dry' cooling systems.
Don't forget that the majority of Germany's CO2 cuts came from shutting down the horribly inefficient Soviet-style industries that dominated the former East Germany.
You are right that we must look at ourselves when judging others, and I wonder what percentage of China's energy consumption ends up on North American shelves.
I suppose all the plastic junk from WalMart that ends up in the land fill can be called a form of carbon sequestration.
And the free lunch already ended. Despite massive measures (renewable electricity, increased use of NG, switch to diesel powered cars, more energy efficient homes and industry), German energy related CO2 emissions are practically unchanged from 1999 to 2005 at approximately 845 Gt.
Still 1/4 of the Oil goes to power generation and heating, and if that Oil is replaced with some other fuel, that part could be better used for vehicles.
China has no other way, but to follow the Coal route and US and India are going to follow it.

Jazz legend Red Nichols was perhaps one of the most prolific recording artists in history. In the 1920s alone the cornetist appeared on over 4,000 recordings, working with almost every important musician of his time. Though his style of playing was influenced by Bix Beiderbecke, Nichols was a better, more polished musician. His contribution to the early days of jazz cannot be overstated. Few artists can even come close to equaling his accomplishments.
Born in Utah, Nichols studied music under his father, a college music professor, and mastered a variety of instruments, though he favored the cornet. As a teen he attended the Culver Military Academy and played in its band before being dismissed. Returning home to Utah he worked in various pit orchestras, joining Ray Stilson in 1922. Later that year he left Stilson for a Midwestern ensemble called the Syncopating Five, a seven-piece group which was later billed as the Royal Palms Orchestra, and toured across country with them.
In 1923 Nichols settled in New York, where he met trombonist Miff Mole, who became a permanent fixture in Nichol's various groups. Nichols most famously recorded under the name Red Nichols and His Five Pennies, but the same group of musicians also recorded under many different pseudonyms, including the Louisiana Rhythm Kings, the Charleston Seven, the Arkansas Travelers, Miff Mole and His Molers, the Hottentots, and the Red Heads. The list of top musicians who worked with Nichols is long. They include Benny Goodman, Jimmy Dorsey, Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Jack Teagarden, Pee Wee Russell, Eddie Lang, Joe Venuti, Adrian Rollini, and Gene Krupa. During the 1920s Nichols also led pit orchestras for two George Gershwin Broadway shows, Girl Crazy and Strike Up the Band, and played with a variety of other bandleaders, including Paul Whiteman, Don Vorhees, Cass Hagan, Vincent Lopez, Henry Halstead, Ross Gorman, Harry Reser, and Benny Krueger, as well as with the group the California Ramblers.
In the 1930s Nichols formed his own big band, which appeared on both Bob Hope's radio program and the Kellogg College Prom in addition to regular broadcasts from Cleveland's Golden Pheasant restaurant. Vocalists were Frances Stevens, Ernie Mathias, and Tony Sacco. Around 1940 Nichols took advantage of the swing craze and updated his sound, though he still featured a Dixieland base. The new band recorded for Bluebird, with Bill Darnell and Harry Jaeger providing vocals. The orchestra sounded promising when it debuted but soon floundered. By 1941 it featured an entirely new line-up, including a Wee Bonnie Baker sound-alike by the name of Penny Banks. After a few failed dates in Boston, Nichols gave up the band, selling it to Anson Weeks in 1942.
Nichols briefly found work as a member of the Casa Loma Orchestra before retiring to Hollywood, where he led several small groups throughout the rest of the 1940s and into the 1950s. The highly-fictional 1959 biographical film The Five Pennies, starring Danny Kaye, brought renewed interest in his career and prompted Nichols to put together a new Five Pennies. Nichols return to the spotlight was brief, however. He suddenly passed away from a heart attack while on tour in Las Vegas in 1965.

Several friends over the last few weeks have sent me an image of 10 dog commandments, it catches superbly what goes through a dogs mind and is a great set of rules to live by.
Thank you for visiting the Play Fetch website. The site highlights on the joy that dogs can bring to your life, but many dogs aren`t fortunate enough to have a loving family. We are working with rehoming centres across the country to help them home our furry friends, please bookmark this website and come back soon to view the dogs that need you to give them the great life they deserve.
I love my dog, we share almost everything together but every now and again I probably get it wrong. The 10 dog commandments, if followed should lead to a great relationship between you and your dog. Since I have had this I have probably looked at it every day, so thought I would share it here.
I am loving the new advert from Winalot recently where dog owners thank their dogs for well, just being themselves.
For those of you that haven`t seen it, the ad shows several scenes of owners with their dogs just going about their normal lives.
The recent heat means our dog walks are mostly in the shade with plenty of water stops. This dog walk was in Shipley Country Park, Molly had just been paddling in the stream by the cricket ground. Can you find my dog Molly in the picture? Find my dog Molly straggling behind on the walk
The weather is improving as spring is finally here and many of us are loking forwards to going on holiday. In this post I hope to give you some advice on taking your dog with you on holiday from how to take your dog on a long journey to getting a pet passport.
There are some vital points to consider when taking your dog on holiday, length of the journey and temperature at your destination are key considerations. This post will look at holidays abroad with your dog and same country holidays. The information on taking your dog abroad is mostly relevant to UK residents although there is useful information regardless of where you live.
Taking your dog abroad with you has been made much simpler with the introduction of the Pet Passport Scheme. Your dog will have its own passport but will need to go through various procedures to get this including a rabies vaccination. You can`t travel to all EU countries with the pet passport, but the easily accessible countries are compliant including France. Any much further afield and you should consider the affect the long journey will have on your dog. For more information on the Pet Passport Scheme, visit www.defra.gov.uk. The most important point to note is that you cannot return to the UK within six months of the blood sample (test that the rabies vaccination was successful) being taken. Because of this the whole pet passport process should be initiated a minimum 7 months prior to your expected return.
European countries are usually much warmer than the UK, take into consideration whether your dog will cope well with the increased heat, especially during summer months. Most dogs coats will have grown to protect them from UK temperatures and will not be able to adapt quickly enough for a short holiday.
Beach laws in European countries are also more stringent than the UK, many beaches simply do not allow dogs. Would you be leaving your dog alone for periods of time? Will the area be air conditioned? Your dog should definitely not be left in a car, the temperature rises immediately even in the shade and can kill your dog in just a few short minutes.
Many dogs become travel sick on long journeys. My own dog is fine with trips of up to an hour but over that she begins to pant heavily. There are plenty of products available over the counter and via prescription for dog anxiety and travel sickness. If you prefer to go natural, a product I hear recommended often is Scullcap & Valerian. Have a chat with your vet and provide as much information as possible so they can gauge what strength medication will be right for your dog. Does your dog become anxious immediately upon entering the vehicle or it is after a sustained period of time, does your dog pant, does your dog vomit are all questions your vet is likely to ask.
The remedy of car sickness may be even simpler, they may just need company. Try a journey sitting with your dog instead of putting them alone in the boot of the car for example. You could also bring a comfort blanket or a favourite toy (you might not want to take a squeaky toy in a confined space though) or a filled Kong.
plan your route with plenty of stops along the way. there should be plenty of toilet stops with fresh water available and the ability for a leg stretch. A five minute walk around the perimeter of a car park may be good enough for another hour of your journey. Remember though not to leave your dog in the car during stops, the break should be for them too and again remember the heat of the car can kill your dog.
There are lots of dog friendly hotels, B&Bs and campsites across the country and abroad. A quick search will bring up specific websites dedicated to dog friendly accommodation for a variety of budgets.
Thousands of dogs go missing each year, especially in an area the dog is not familiar with. A dog tag with your telephone can reunite you with your dog, but if your dog is anything like my terrier those tags often get lost themselves, this is where micro-chipping is essential. Most vets and dog rescue have a microchip reader should your dog be found. If your dog is already micro-chipped make sure the details held on record are correct and up to date.
Dogs love beaches and the sea but swimming in the sea can be very different to paddling in the local pond. The sea current can be hard for your dog, sudden differences in ground level and not to mention sea life. Last year my dog was having a leisurely swim in the sea off the east coast when a seal came over to say hi. Molly didn't seem too phased by it but I had a mild panic, luckily the seal was an inquisitive soul and after a few minutes watching casually swam away.
If you are worried about your dog in the sea or are going to an area with particularly rough water, you may want to buy your dog a dog life vest. They help your dog stay afloat and visible giving you piece of mind.
Both you and your dog will also be in unfamiliar surroundings, you don`t know what is around the next corner, be particularly weary of hidden cliff faces. Dogs are lower to the ground and what looks like an endless field to a dog may have a very steep drop suddenly without warning. The south coast around Devon on especially bad for this.
Are there any other considerations you would like to add when taking your dog on holiday? Let us know using the comments field below, or on twitter or our facebook page.
Happy holidays!
There is much debate over whether feeding your dog raw food is good or bad for the dog. The article is unbiased and aims to provide some facts to begin your research.
There are two definitive camps regarding raw feeding to dogs. There are those who believe a natural diet has been the staple of dogs for thousands of years and that a modern diet of processed foods do not provide a full nutritional balance. This bad balance is due to the destruction of nutrients during the preparation stage and high volume of grain used. Other dog owners however believe that there is a health risk to dogs and to their human counterpart of feeding raw food. No scientific research has proven that a raw dog food diet has any benefit to the dog, although that argument is controversial in itself as it is believed much of the research has been funded by dog food companies.

There are many reasons for and against breeding dogs, this article will try to avoid that argument but focus on the breeders who breed for show, often at the detriment of the health of the dog.
There is a big debate over whether dog shows are good or bad and everyone will have their own opinion. In this article we look at the breeding of dogs for show, many breeders have moved towards 'creating' the perfect dog from an aesthetic point of view which often results in serious health issues.

China have a announced a new ruling that limits one dog per household, similar to the one child ruling.
Shanghai is the latest city in China to introduce new laws on the ownership of dogs. Each household is to be allowed only one dog. But the ruling doesn`t stop there, Dogs larger than 3ft will be banned from the city centre, along with certain dog breeds. More on the dog ban in Shanghai China
Photographer Martin Usborne's series of photographs captures the emotive faces of dogs waiting in their owners cars.
I try to take my dogs everywhere with me; when I visit friends and family or even a quick trip to the local supermarket my dogs are there. Sometimes I have to leave them in the car though for a short while and often wonder what they do whilst I am gone. Photographer Martin Usborne had the same thought so took a series of photographs depicting dogs and their emotions whilst waiting for their owner. View the photographs of dogs waiting in their car...
Many of us know how to perform CPR on a person, but could you perform CPR on your dog? Here we run through the dog CPR basics, I hope you never have to use it but it is great to know.

These days, we hear a lot about fraud and deceit in science. What we collect, however, is the honest blunder. For example, when Einstein was studying to be admitted to the Zurich technical university, he was doing rather badly: he scored mainly 1s (on a scale from 1 to 6). But in the second half of the year things suddenly went better, and Einstein's marks went up to 6s. According to a report of a Canadian historian, this was obviously due to the fact that the school opened a brand new physics laboratory, in which Einstein could do his own experiments.
Only after he had published this hypothesis, the historian was told that, also in the same year, the school reversed its scale, so that it now ran from 6 to 1. That is the kind of blunder we like.
We would appreciate hearing about (preferably your own) most embarrassing ...

Reports that Jack Kingston is angling for the chairmanship of the U.S. House Appropriations Committee are apparently premature.
But perhaps only slightly so.
Speculation about leadership roles Kingston and other Republicans began even before the GOP won control of the House on Nov. 2.

It cited a Wall Street Journal editorial urging Speaker-in-waiting John Boehner to "elevate" Kingston.

A day after U.S. Rep. John Barrow extended lukewarm support for the re-election of Barack Obama, a GOP group is airing a new TV ad linking Barrow to the president.
Pressed by a reporter, Barrow spokesman Richard Carbo said Tuesday Barrow would vote for the "top of the ticket," but isn't a "rubber stamp for any president."
On Wednesday, the National Republican Congressional Committee unveiled the second of a series of commercials slamming the Augusta Democrat. In all, the NRCC says it will spend $900,000 on such messages through October.

Australian photo websites
Jun 22, 2012
Hi all,
Am planning to get all my images out of stock and microstock sites and starting my own website. ( Simply put, am just tired of having to contend with 30c a photo for a site that allows thier"subscribers" to "download" ruthlessly).
Any suggestions on good australian photo hosting sites?
Would need a shopping cart for online sales and print lab integration.

I love Latino men. Their bronzed, dark-brown skin and big, juicy uncut cocks really get my heart racing and my dick stirring in my shorts, so Naked Papis is right up my alley. And with over 300 Latino guys greeting me on this site, I didn't know where to start - so many hot guys to ogle. We last visited this site in 2012, so it's time to take another look.
In Spanish "papi" literally means "daddy," but it's also a pet name used by females when talking to their boyfriends, husbands or lovers. It's also used to refer to a sexy Latino guy, and there are plenty of them on Naked Papis. Although the site doesn't specifically tell us the models' nationalities, they do mention "Mexican" on their tour, so I'm assuming a high percentage of these papis are Mexican. Regardless, they're largely twenty-something-year-old guys with slender to athletic / muscular bodies; most are smooth and some wear a lot of ink. Quite a few of the guys have face scruff -- patches of hair on their chins or faint mustaches - but there are heaps of clean-shaven guys. And if you like foreskin, most of these guys are packing uncut cocks, and lots of them are big and fat. Just the way I like them.
There's heaps of guys jerking their cocks and shooting their cumloads on Naked Papis. But there's guy-on-guy sex, too. Most of the action is duo, although there are a handful of threeways; and also a couple of hetero sex scenes. There's lots of dick sucking and fucking, and the anal sex is a mix of bareback and condomed, although newer releases tend to feature raw fucking, and expect the cameras to show off the cumshots.
Naked Papis has 331 exclusive videos - 237 solo and 94 hardcore - and the site updates weekly. Newer episodes have downloadable versions in MP4 in three sizes (570x320, 432x288, 360x240), the medium-age ones have QuickTime and WMV downloads at 640x480, and the oldest download in Real Player and WMV formats, sized at 432x280. You can stream the videos in Flash and sometimes WMV, older episodes stream in Real Player or WMV, although some of the streaming videos aren't actually streaming. The videos were mostly clear and good amateur quality, but I sometimes noticed some pixelation when there was rapid movement, like when a guy was stroking his cock.
The videos download quickly, even the largest ones, although the medium and low versions have a small screen size, so I'd only recommend them for those on slow broadband or dialup. The largest sized video took less than a minute to download using my cable connection and there's no DRM used on this site, so these downloads are yours to keep. I should also mention that some of the older action videos are split into between two and four parts, but our count is for full scenes.
There are also 336 photo sets. These are good amateur quality digital stills sized at about 600x850, although some are cropped to be narrower. The pics show off the guys and their cocks well, and although they're not available in zip files or slideshows, they can be individually downloaded.
There are a few bonuses with Naked Papis. Most of the models have desktop wallpaper in three sizes from 800x600 to 1280x1024 and G- and X-rated screen savers. There's also a chat room where you can socialize with other members visiting the site. When I checked it out there were 20 people in the chat room. There is also a good sized collection of erotic gay stories written and submitted by members of the site. I'm sorry to report that the gay event section is no longer updating.
I wish that the site would add dates to at least the latest updates so we'd know how frequently and exactly when updates are added. One other thing I didn't like about Naked Papis is that video formats change periodically over the years and not all episodes have the same formats. I'd like to see this site remaster the videos and get rid of outdated formats like Real Player and make all video options consistent so they're all available in MP4 format.
Naked Papis has grown over the last year to 331 videos, and they update the site every week with a photo set, a video, and usually a story, but since there's no dates, there's no way to be sure how regular updates are. The exclusive content is well-produced, quick to download, and DRM-free. And at $11.95, the price is right. Naked Papis is the brother site of Bi Latin Men, a larger Latino site with not a lot of duplication of content between the two sites, so you can join both sites and you'll be up to your armpits in hot and horny Latino guys. And still you're paying less for both sites than you'd usually pay for one site! Naked Papis is a great deal and you'll want to check out all the sexy Latino guys.

This is after Jim (Scott Fletcher) makes a foul-mouthed faux pas in front of his newly-deceased boss's widow, Annabelle, played by Joanna Tope .
The laughter is a trend that continues throughout the rest of the production which looks at grief, and our use of so-called "bad" language. And at the end of the day you can't ask much more from a comedy than that.
Having taken a shine to Jim, prim and proper middle-class Annabelle strikes up an unlikely friendship with him, based on wanting to escape the stifling constraints of the small talk her world revolves around.
Instead she wants to tap into the deep reservoir of the sort of swear words her husband would have known before becoming a respectable businessman.
As premises go, it's unlikely, and Maxwell's comedy is little more than a diverting if hugely enjoyable entertainment, but he manages to inject it with lightly-managed nuggets of philosophical inquiry into semantics and our use of language.
It also doesn't do any harm at all that the piece, which is ably directed by Orla O'Loughlin, is played to perfection by Tope and Fletcher.
Were I to try and quote in print some of the lines that are on show here, chances are the asterisk button on my keyboard would seize up.
Suffice to say the play is full of very rude words indeed, and the comedy all the more rudely hilarious for it.
Just go and see it and you'll know what I mean.

If you thought you heard a groan from the Walt Disney offices in Bristol, Conn., Manhattan and LA on Tuesday afternoon after the Federal Communications Commission approved the planned merger between the Philadelphia-based Comcast Corporation and NBCUniversal, you weren't imagining the sounds. The suits at Disney probably aren't too pleased with the FCC's decision to allow Comcast and General Electric's Peacock network and other holdings to go to the altar and be wed.
After all, Disney's cash cow, the so-called "World Wide Leader in Sports" will more than likely get real competition since the folding of CNN Sports Illustrated in May 2002. FOX Sports does program local regional cable sports networks but really has never been an outright competitor to ESPN. Neither CNNSI nor FOX successfully challenged ESPN SportsCenter but that could change as Comcast has the ability to put on a national cable TV sports show as they are doing that locally with some of the company owned regional sports cable TV networks.
Comcast, the largest multi-system operator in the country (with systems located in New Jersey) owns Versus, an all sports channel, the Golf Channel, a piece of the Major League Baseball and a boatload of regional sports networks around the United States, including SNY (a venture that includes Time Warner and New York Mets ownership in the partnership) and in Philadelphia. NBC has deals with the National Football League, the National Hockey League, Notre Dame football, and the 2012 Olympics among the network's sports properties. NBC has not had Major League baseball, the NBA or NASCAR in years. The network does have golf and tennis events.
Versus, or whatever the Comcast owned cable sports network will be called, could become a much bigger player in sports. Right now, Versus has the NHL, some cycling events, the United Football League (if that league makes it into a third season next fall) and some other events. Versus has not be able to get nearly 100 percent penetration onto cable TV's basic expanded tiers thorough the country as of yet.
But that could be changing.
More than likely, in the short term, there will be integration of Comcast sports programming with NBC's sport programming and some of that will end up on cable TV networks which including USA.
Comcast NBC may be too late to the table to bid on some events in the short term.
Disney is talking with the National Football League about extending ESPN's contract with the league for the Monday Night Football package which might bring as much as $2 billion annually to the NFL through 2022 or 2023. (NFL owners are complaining that they cannot afford to continue giving players 59 percent of the league's revenues because of tough economic times. If the reports that Disney is ready to pay billions — which would come out of cable TV subscriber's pockets whether they watch Monday Night Football or not and most of ESPN's potential audience does not watch the channel — it makes it hard to believe the NFL is in dire economic straits as a March 3, 2011 deadline looms as a possible lockout date if the owners and players do not agree to a new collective bargaining agreement.)
The Monday Night NFL package may be a done deal for Disney, but Comcast has NBC's Sunday Night NFL package through 2013 as part of the merger. NBCUniversal was cash strapped prior to the announcement that Comcast was buying 51 percent of the company. Sunday Night Football has been the top rated prime time series on over-the-air network TV in 2010. It stands to reason that Comcast-NBC will attempt to throw as much money as possible to the "cash-poor" NFL owners to keep the franchise.
The big prize, or the "perceived perception" big prize, in TV is the International Olympic Committee's pride and joy events — the Summer and Winter Olympics. NBC Universal has the rights to the 2012 London Games. The IOC, an entity which believes that it is an international entity with the power to dictate to countries policy and has permanent observer status at the United Nations, waited for the FCC to act before it opened up contract negotiations with American TV networks for the rights to the 2014 Sochi (Russia) Winter and the 2016 Rio (Brazil) Summer Games. The IOC can now go ahead and start a bidding war or what they hope is a bidding war between Brian Roberts's Comcast-NBC, Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, Sumner Redstone's CBS (and possibly Redstone's NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament partner Turner Sports) and Disney for the rights to future Olympics.
NBC lost money on the 2008 Beijing Olympics and American networks, particularly in an economic recession and recovery might not want to spend every last Swiss franc to satisfy IOC President Jacques Rogge and his band of merry men for the big prize.
Future Olympics will be seen over a multitude of platforms including over the air TV, cable TV and broadband. All of the US bidders have the wherewithal to provide that type of coverage to the IOC.
Disney has the rights to the Bowl Championship Series through January 2014. Disney and Turner share NBA rights until 2016. MLB's TV deals with Rupert Murdoch's FOX, Time Warner and Disney's ESPN are done in 2013. ESPN's non-exclusive deal with Major League Soccer is done in 2014. The MLS is currently trying to negotiate a new deal with Murdoch's FOX Soccer Channel and is reportedly asking for a 700 percent increase in rights fees. Reportedly Murdoch's channel wants to just slightly more than double payments from $3 million annually to $7 million.
Cable TV sports networks negotiate with other people's money — subscriber fees — and the subscriber is at the mercy of the network or multiple systems operators. It is either all or nothing for basic expanded tier customers.
Comcast and NBC have National Hockey League national cable and over-the-air TV rights. Disney, according to reports, would like to get a piece of the NHL's cable TV deal. This could be the first bidding war between ESPN and Comcast. Comcast owns a team in the NHL, the Philadelphia Flyers. Comcast also has the cable TV rights of a number of NHL teams including the Flyers on Comcast Sports Net, Philadelphia.
There is also another aspect of this deal that could impact local news operations at various NBC owned and operated stations including those in New York and Philadelphia. SNY and Comcast Sports Net Philadelphia already have sports staffs and Comcast could decide to drop the local sports anchors on WNBC in New York and WCAU in Philadelphia to save money.
There was a report in 2010 that WPIX, Channel 11 in New York was considering outsourcing the station's local sportscast to the Comcast-owned SNY but that never materialized. Local news operations around the country have been marginalizing or dropping sports reports within the news show.
Critics of the merger contend Comcast will simply be too big, too controlling of content (critics have ignored how cable TV has been set up, this is nothing new) and that a multiple system operator cannot also be a programmer and that Comcast could muscle out competitors like ESPN by simply dropping the channels from Comcast systems. It is unlikely that Comcast would drop ESPN since the channel makes them money. But there will be disputes. Comcast and the NFL have been fighting over the NFL Network for years. Comcast might have played hardball with the NFL after the multi-systems operator thought it had a deal with the league for a small Thursday-Saturday night package for the Versus network. The NFL decided to keep the games in-house and put them on the NFL Network. After that, Comcast decided the NFL Network charged too much money for programming for their subscribers.
There will always be skirmishes between the multiple system operators and cable networks over money. That will not change with the Comcast-NBC merger.
The merger probably will not be in the best interests of consumers as rights fees, retransmission costs and other fees will continue to go up. The question that needs to be answered is whether Comcast can make the merger work because big media deals over the past 15 years including the AOL Time Warner agreement have been failures. Clear Channel bought out thousands of radio stations following the 1996 Tele Communication Act passage by Congress which was signed into law by President Bill Clinton and that has been a disaster for the company. And for those who are worried about the direction Brian Roberts might take NBC News, here is a question. What kind of job did General Electric do in covering the news? One of GE's properties is MSNBC, a so-called news channel which like FOX News Channel and CNN doesn't cover news but is long on shrill and fake confrontational arguments led by carnival barkers. NBC Dateline once blew up a General Motors truck in 1992 in a staged report called "Waiting to Explode" which questioned the safety of GM trucks.
Comcast has been a major player on the sports scene for a long time. The company owns the Philadelphia Flyers and 76ers and has partnerships thorough Major League Baseball, the National Hockey League, the National Basketball Association, golf and limited National Football League team business arrangements. NBC Sports has properties; a combined Comcast NBC is stronger and has some money to spend. That is music to the ears of sports owners and promoters but not necessarily the sound that makes Mickey Mouse and Disney too happy as ESPN is no longer alone as the undisputed heavyweight champion of sports programming.

Cox and Box marked Sullivan's first departure from the serious music with which he had made his name. With a libretto by F.C. Burnand, this one-act comic opera was performed five years before Sullivan's first collaboration with Gilbert. This photograph records a charity performance at the Adelphi Theatre, London, staged by Punch magazine to benefit the widow of former colleague Charles Bennett (1829-67). Ironically, Gilbert, writing a review in rival magazine Fun, anticipated the criticism later to be levied at his own libretti: 'Mr Sullivan's music is, in places, of too high a class for the grotesquely absurd plot to which it is wedded.'
