Playing the BF3 beta was a little confusing. The game is due out in a few weeks, so putting it into beta this close to release seemed bizarre.
It covers only one multiplayer map, Metro, which takes place in a subway tunnel in France along with a little above-ground action for plenty of close quarters shooting. It's also objective based meaning players will be switching roles between defense and offense. It also means that it's a map with no vehicles which can be a bit disappointing to some.
Technically, beta tests are handled a few months in advance of finalizing the code for release so that if anything critical crops up, it can be fixed before hitting retail. At least that's how it's ideally supposed to go. Though in today's world of "0-day" patches and broadband speeds, that probably doesn't mean a hell of a lot.
Likely, the "beta" for BF3 was to test multiplayer stress on the network to better prepare for when it goes prime time on October 25th. On that count, it seems to be doing okay even with the occasional 128-player hack floating around in PC Land.
I also hope that some of the other issues won't show up in the final game such as prone clipping, or falling through the map and getting stuck leaving suicide the only escape. I was killed on one map by someone trapped this way because they were able to shoot me from below the objective I was attacking.
One thing that stuck with me was how familiar it felt. Coming off of Bad Company 2, BF3's beta felt like I was heading back for more of the same with a new set of maps. That's not entirely a bad thing, especially if you couldn't get enough of the game. And I'll admit that I had some fun while shooting through Metro's wrecked venue.
The demo also cuts loose with a large number of unlocks and, from what I could see, no level ceiling, so if anything, it's a nice, free multiplayer shooter. Some players have also really taken to it – I've seen a few leveled into their twenties and thirties already though I doubt any of that will carry over into the full game.
If I weren't a fan of the series before I doubt this would have convinced me as much as the trailers had worked so well to, but I'm sure that the full game – with actual vehicles – will be a lot more exciting when everything comes together near the end of this month.

Brazil seeks $1B/yr in donations to save the Amazon
February 23, 2008
The Brazilian government will seek up to $1 billion per year in donations from the governments of industrialized countries and corporate sources. Contributors will not be eligible for carbon credits that may be generated by "avoiding" deforestation under a mechanism — known as REDD — ratified at climate talks in Bali last December.
Daniel Nepstad, a researcher at the Woods Hole Research Institute, estimates the cost of reducing deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon to nearly zero within a decade would be $100 million to $600 million per year under a program involving carbon credits for forest conservation (REDD). Tasso Azevedo, director of the Brazil's forestry services, estimates the country needs about $2 billion annually to stop illegal deforestation of the Amazon. It is unclear whether Azevedo's estimate accounts for income generated under a REDD framework.

The trees of the Amazon rainforest store 90-140 billion metric tons of carbon, according to calculations by scientists, but deforestation accounts for about 70 percent of Brazil's greenhouse gas emissions. These emissions primarily result from forest conversion for agricultural expansion — notably beef and soy production — in the Amazon.
In recent years, deforestation has increasingly moved in step with soy and cattle prices: as prices surged to near record levels in the second half of 2007, forest clearing about doubled over the previous year.

Delays, uncertainties cloud library projects
The construction delay for the county library in Cardiff is far less complicated. The county failed to get the library plans to the Coastal Commission in time for its April meeting, so the commission will decide on the permit this month, said John Weil, chief of staff for county Supervisor Pam Slater, whose district includes Cardiff.
"Once we get that permit from the Coastal Commission, we'll set a groundbreaking date and get going," Weil said.
A groundbreaking for the Cardiff library scheduled for last Thursday never happened. Construction is now expected to start in June.
New libraries costly
The new library spaces will increase staff and maintenance costs, and change the way library services are provided. Right now, the county pays about $1 million to run the two Encinitas branches without any help from the city -- $700,000 for downtown and $340,000 for Cardiff.
Running the new Cardiff library is expected to cost the county $416,000 a year, though higher energy bills could drive up that amount. The county will pay all costs to build and operate that facility.
But that isn't the case for the new Cornish Drive library or its temporary replacement on El Camino Real. While the county now funds operations at the existing downtown library, the city will have to help pay costs on the larger libraries being planned. The county and city haven't yet calculated the exact cost-sharing arrangement.
Weil said the county's exact contribution won't be hammered out until former county librarian Marilyn Crouch returns to her job Friday. She left the job in the fall to work for the state but decided to return to the county post.
Without a lease or a commitment from the county, city estimates on costs to open and run an interim library are guesswork. Some council members have shown signs of concern about the figures.
Lingering doubts
Mayor Dennis Holz recently questioned why the city has set aside $550,000 to furnish the interim library.
"That's a lot of money to throw away," he said.
City Manager Kerry Miller said the city's estimates to furnish and operate the interim library are "conservative." The place will be functional but "spartan."
"It won't be extravagant," Miller said.
Some people also question the latest plan to combine the teen center and library. Though city officials think it would be prudent to put them together, some Encinitas teens aren't so sure it would be a good mix.
"Libraries usually want you to shush because they want things quiet, and teens tend to be loud," city Youth Commission member Kiara Porter said.

This Hiker Lost In The Wilderness Saved Himself Using His iPhone's Flashlight App
More proof that the iPhone is the 21st century analogue to the venerable Swiss Army Knife: a hiker lost in the woods on New Year's Eve was able to alert and flag down rescuers using his iPhone's flashlight app.
HLN has the report:
Christopher Tkacik says he and his dog, Boo, got lost while out hiking on northwest Maryland's Catoctin Mountain. After several hours of trying to find his way out of a maze of trails, he called 911…
Told to stay in place and wait for help, Tkacik says he loaded up that flashlight app. When a helicopter was overhead, he held up his phone and used it as a virtual beacon to help rescuers locate his position…
All told, Tkacik and Boo spent eight hours lost on the mountain. And without his phone and virtual flashlight who knows how much longer they might have remained there.
Okay, cool, but until you can kill a bear with an iPhone, I'll have to keep carrying my knife.

How to Calculate Your Weighted GPA
While calculating your GPA for Math majors may not be a complicated task, for others it can be a tedious task, especially if your school uses letters grades with pluses and minuses. Whether your school uses pluses and minuses, the grade scale in the image to the right represents the commonly accepted 4.0 grading scale values for all letter grades.
There are two main types of grading systems, one is weighted the other is non-weighted. Weighted grading systems give each class a defined number of credit hours based on the amount of time the class meets. A class that meets more often gets a higher number of credit hours or 'weight'. Non-weighted grading systems do not assign credit hours to each class, so each class has an equal weight, and credit hours doesn't play a role in calculating your GPA.
This tutorial covers weighted GPA calculations. For a thorough tutorial on non-weighted GPA calculations, please visit the wikiHow page, Calculate-GPA
As we explained, with schools that use weighted courses, your classes have a defined number of credits assigned to each class. If a certain class meets more than another, they are worth more credits. This means an A in a 4 credit class is worth more than an A in a 3 credit class.
Suppose, for example, you received the following grades for the courses listed below. How do you calculate your GPA? Note: These steps can be tedious and they're not for everyone. If after reviewing these steps you find them too tedious or want an automated tool, consider downloading a spreadsheet or visiting a website with a GPA calculator, like one we have referenced at the bottom of this article.
1Assign the appropriate scale value for each letter grade. To do this, just match up each letter grade with it's scale value and write it next to the grade. The results of this are shown in the graphic below:Ad
2Now that you have the appropriate scale value for each grade, multiply the scale value by the number of credits to get the grade points. The results of this are shown in the graphic below:
3Add the number of credits together to get the totals credits. In this example, the total credits will be 15.5.
4Add the grade points together to the total grade points. In this example, the total grade points will be 45.4.
6Congratulate yourself, you've just calculated your weighted GPA!Ad

WASHINGTON, D.C. – With press reports indicating that the United States, China, and the European Union have held preliminary discussions on a possible agreement to resolve solar trade disputes, Rhone Resch, president & CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), issued the following statement:
You are here
SEIA is the solar energy industry's go-to source for the latest coverage on solar power, including U.S. and international policy, research and polls, business and financing trends, and more. Our staff strives to support the media covering solar energy issues and guide our members on effective media outreach with clear statements, background materials, news and multimedia resources.
SEIA is committed to informing policymakers, the media, and the American public about the benefits of solar energy for today's communities, our economy, and our country.
Learn more from our statements and industry news below.
Fourth Graders Power Their Classroom with Solar Energy
A group of fourth graders in Durham, North Carolina, are showing America the way to a clean energy future.
After learning all about solar and other energy sources, Aaron Sebens -- a teacher at Central Park School for Children -- and his fourth grade class came up with a bold idea: make their classroom solar-powered.
Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Capacity Quickly Expands When States Provide the Right Incentives
The American solar photovoltaic (PV) industry has grown tremendously in recent years. In 2012, more than 3,300 MW of solar power were installed throughout the United States, with a record 1,300 MW installed in the last three months of the year alone. Falling costs for hardware and installation have accelerated this trend, but it has mainly been driven by public policies that generously reward those who install solar systems.
Solar Energy Industries Association and BlueGreen Alliance Announce New Partnership
WASHINGTON, DC – The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), the national trade association for the U.S. solar energy industry, and the BlueGreen Alliance, a national partnership of labor unions and environmental organizations, today announced a new partnership to help support their mutual goal -- building a robust clean energy economy to power America.
PUC OKs more solar capacity for Xcel
The solar industry applauded a decision by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission that allows Xcel Energy Inc. (NYSE: XEL) to acquire as much as 33.6 megawatts as part of the company's Solar Rewards program.
Solar Power Funding Healthy in Q2
Total funding in the solar energy sector amounted to more than $4.3 billion spread across 66 transactions in the second quarter of 2012, with strong results in venture capital funding, debt funding, and corporate funding in particular, according to a Mercom Capital Group report.
The Key to Exponential Solar Growth Is Virtual Net Metering — and Solar Companies
Renewable Energy World
On August 15, 2012, at 8 a.m., Colorado's Xcel utility opened up its registration for a new solar gardens/virtual net metering program. It took just 30 minutes to shut the doors on applications. The utility had received 13.5 MW in those 30 minutes, more than triple the 4.5 MW allowed. This excitement is one reason why I believe that community solar is the key to widespread U.S. solar adoption, but let's go through all of them...plus the challenges to it ever happening.
SEIA Response to Wall Street Journal Editorial
The Wall Street Journal
Regarding your editorial "The Solar-Painted Desert" (Aug. 14): Solar is the latest industry the Department of the Interior leases land to, just like mining, cattle ranching and other energy sources—no special treatment has been requested or received. More lands are off-limits to solar (79 million acres) than are available. For perspective, there are 74 million acres leased by on- and offshore oil and gas projects. Also, there are no shortcuts in the National Environmental Policy Act when it comes to project reviews and approvals.
Large solar array planned for Davis-Monthan Air Force Base
According to Ken Gray, the Rates and Renewables Branch Chief at the Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency, Tyndall AFB, Fla., the array has to be built and generating electricity by the end of the year.
Solar panels sales energized by lower prices, rebates
A combination of federal and state tax credits, plummeting equipment prices and an environmentally savvy population has led to a dramatic increase in the number of Wilmington rooftops outfitted with solar panels, according to local installers.

Energy grants Energy grants from energy suppliers
Gas and electricity suppliers serving more than 250,000 household customers - including British Gas, EDF Energy, Eon, Npower, SSE and Scottish Power - are obliged to help people reduce carbon emissions from their homes.
This is driven by the government's Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme, launched with the Green Deal.
You can find out more about ECO and the Green Deal in our guide to the Green Deal.
Insulation grants
Under ECO and the Green Deal, grants and loans are available to cover all or part of the cost of energy-efficiency measures; most commonly loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, solid wall insulation, double glazing or a new boiler.
Installation of loft insulation and cavity wall insulation is usually done by a contractor - although for loft insulation you will probably have to clear your loft first and take up any boards, as this is not normally included. But there are exceptions.
What energy-saving offers are available?
Grants through ECO are subject to eligibility criteria. To find out if your household could qualify, call the Energy Saving Advice Service on 0300 123 1234.
Loans are available through the Green Deal. Find out more in our guide to the Green Deal.

The Bachelorette
Bachelorette Season 7 Contestant West Lee's Dark Past Revealed
Spoiler King Reality Steve already mentioned that Bachelorette Season 7 suitor West Lee, 30, was married right out of college, but his wife passed away a few years ago. Now details are emerging about what happened.
According to Star magazine, West's wife, Sarah, drowned in their bathtub on September 9, 2007. It reportedly happened right after they argued, with West in the other room. Although Sarah's death was ruled accidental, her mother thinks Bachelorette Ashley Hebert should keep away from West.
"I believe that West was my daughter's enabler, and I just feel he had something to do with Sarah's death," Dianna Sapp told Star, via RadarOnline, which received an exclusive preview of Star's story. "I would tell Ashley to think long and hard before getting into a relationship with him."
RadarOnline references the police report, in which West told police that shortly before Sarah died, they argued about three car accidents she had been involved in within days. West admitted that they had smoked pot.
According to the police report, "After several minutes the victim stood up and said to the complainant, 'I've just had an epiphany.'" She kissed West and locked herself in the bathroom. After an hour, West forced open the door and found Sarah submerged and lifeless.
West has been working as an Assistant Attorney General at the South Carolina Attorney General's Office since September 2008. At Clemson University in South Carolina — where he received his B.A. in Spanish, Political Science, and Speech & Communication — he wrote for the student newspaper, acted with the Clemson Players, and was elected a Student Senator. He also pledged Phi Delta Theta at Clemson and Phi Alpha Delta law fraternity at Washington and Lee University law school.
It's been four years since his wife's death and hopefully West is "a changed man" who has matured beyond the pot and party phase. Is it fair to hold this against him? It sounds like he could use a fresh start, too.

Living in China, you soon learn that Chinese traditions play an integral role in everyday life for every person. It is at the very core of Chinese culture and revolves around values and how people interact with each other, gives a sense of personal identity and sense of self worth. These traditional values help people solve common human problems for survival and become the roots of tradition that Chinese people find important in their day-to-day lives.
Values for one society may seem strange to another society, but nonetheless, they are important to that society. For instance, the painful and debilitating Chinese tradition of foot binding, as bizarre as it may seem to our culture, to the Chinese people, it was the esoteric essence of pure beauty and signified status within the family structure, allowing young women with lotus feet better opportunities for marriage with well-to-do families.
Traditional Chinese courtyard life, in existence until the early 1900's, was a unique lifestyle where Chinese families and neighbours lived in very close quarters – sharing a common courtyard and everyone knowing everyone else's business. Special rules applied for who occupied which space in certain directions. Read more about it by clicking the link above.
Chinese Chopsticks, born of necessity in the earliest times, highly influenced the eating and cooking traditions still followed today in China. Click on the link above to learn more about the history of Chinese chopsticks.
Have you ever seen those beautiful tied Chinese knots? Did you know that each different design is a good luck wish? One of the most popular knots is double happiness, which in Chinese tradition is given to newlyweds, signifying a wish for their luck and happiness to double.
Xing, Shi and Ming are the most common Chinese family names. There are only 22 ancient Chinese surnames still in use today. The family name indicated a blood tie within the Chinese social structure and was a symbol of class. In ancient China, 5,000 to 6,000 years ago, women were the clan leaders and marriages were only allowed among certain classes.
There are many colorful Chinese Festivals happening all year round. There are some major ones that span out over several days or several weeks that are celebrated all across China, and then there are the ones celebrated in different regions of China by the 53 different minority groups. Chinese Festivals offer a unique insight into the rich 5000 year history and traditions of China. If you are living in China, the Chinese people will graciously invite you to be part of their traditional celebrations. Click the link above to check out some interesting celebrations like Qing Ming - graveyard cleaning and picnic time, the Water Splashing Festival in Yunnan, Chinese Valentine's Day, Dragon Boat Festival and more.
Beijing Opera is a uniquely Chinese form of theatre that relates stories of romance, legend and battles. There used to be troupes that travelled China to put on the shows, but today, the best place to enjoy it is in Beijing. Chinese Shadow Puppetry is an ancient form of storytelling which was popular during the Song Dynasty during the holiday season. The stories of the shadow puppets told of events that had happened elsewhere in the country and stories with a Buddhist background.

The Most Common Symptoms of Chlamydia in Men
Sexually promiscuous males who fail to use adequate protection during intimate encounters have a very high chance of contracting a sexually transmitted disease ("STD"). As the label implies, such disorders are primarily communicated via sexual contact. Treatment is available for many STDs. For others, however, no cure is currently available. One of the STDs that medical practitioners frequently encounter is chlamydia.
Chlamydia in men typically causes pain upon urinating. Among its other signs are burning or itching around the head of a man's penis, watery white or yellow and green discharge, and a constant urge to urinate. All such symptoms may not necessarily manifest themselves, however. In fact, it is very common for chlamydia in men to be totally asymptomatic. In fact, many men harbor "silent" chlamydial infections. This means that they are unaware of their illness. Even in cases of chlamydia in men which involve overt symptoms, between one and three weeks may elapse before they appear.
The most optimal means of preventing chlamydia in men is abstinence or self-indulgence by masturbation. If you decide to engage in sexual activity with another person, it's probably best to select a condom constructed of latex for maximum protection. This strategy is particularly advisable for those with numerous sexual partners. Do not engage in sex with numerous partners without adequate protection. Make an effort to determine the prior sexual history and current health status of any partners as well. Such precautions are the best preventive measures against chlamydia in men.
The most commonly prescribed treatment of chlamydia for men is a variety of antibiotic medicines. The proscribing healthcare providers will recommend a minimum period of ingesting periodic, level doses. During this time frame, patients should avoid sexual activity with other individuals. Failure to abstain does not only expose partner(s) to the risk of contracting the disease, but could also cause worsening of the patient's own condition through constant reinfection.
If ignored or allowed to remain untreated for a prolonged period, chlamydia in men leads to severe, continuous pain and even permanent infertility. Rare does unchecked chlamydia in men result in serious systemic health disorders like eye inflammations, arthritis, and swollen testicles. Its typical symptomology can be very uncomfortable and very disquieting, due to extreme suffering.
Male chlamydia is easily detectible via urine sample testing or microscopic examination of a urethral swab sample. The disease has even been dubbed as "silent," due to its frequent asymptomology. Many men do not know that they are infected. Thus, they unknowingly transmit it to one or more sexual contacts, thereby perpetuating the vicious cycle of a major public health threat. In the process, their own health is jeopardized and seriously compromised. The worst part of all is that an infected male is usually shocked to discover how serious and permanent the long-term effects of untreated chlamydia can be.
As it is indeed a silent disease, chlamydia in men is also extremely dangerous. It can attack anybody off guard due to its asymptomatic nature. The best long-term line of defense that any man can employ to protect his health is to prevent infection in the first place. If, however, a man is unsure of whether he is really infected or have noticed any of the above symptoms associated with this STD, seek competent medical advice and appropriate testing immediately.

Sometimes we get so sick of the phrase 'history in the making' that the brain tends to switch off. What is it this time?, we sigh. A new high-tech piece of military technology that will boost US killing power? A big jump in a newspaper's online advertising revenue? The world's best footballer, Lionel Messi, joining 'an exclusive list of adidas athletes to have their own signature product'? Sometimes the 'history' in question only stretches back a few years, maybe a century or two. Only very occasionally, if the claim is truly deserved, does it strech back to the earliest era of written records.
But now, with humanity's huge impact on the planet's climate becoming ever clearer, we need to go back several million years. Because climate-related news of history being made are about the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) reaching 400 parts per million (ppm). The last time CO2 was this high was probably 4.5 million years ago, before modern humans even existed.
Throughout recorded history, up till the Industrial Revolution, CO2 was much lower at around 280 ppm. But large-scale industrial and agricultural activity since then has seen humanity profoundly alter the make-up of the atmosphere and even the stability of Earth's climate.
said Bob Ward, policy director at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change at the London School of Economics.
According to Bob Watson, former chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and former UK government chief scientific adviser:
noted in the Guardian, even just 2C is regarded as 'the level beyond which catastrophic warming is thought to become unstoppable.' But social scientist Chris Shaw has warned that even the notion of a single 'safe' global temperature rise is dangerous. He observes that:
taboo, and the global corporate and financial juggernaut, driven by the demands of capital, shows no sign of slowing down. Scientists calculate that humans pumped around 10.4 billion tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere in 2011, the most recent year analysed. A Nature news article reports:
climate calamity will not be going away for some considerable time.line-height:150%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:
"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">'It Is Irresponsible Not To Mention Climate Change'
On 20 May, a devastating tornado hit Moore, a suburb of Oklahoma City, and killed at least 24 people, including nine children, injured around 240 people, and destroyed hundreds of homes and shops, two schools and a hospital. It is not yet clear what the impact of global warming might be on tornadoes. A warmer climate may mean there is more moisture in the atmosphere and therefore more thunderstorms and tornadoes, says Richard Betts, head of climate impacts at the UK's Met Office:
article behind paywall)
Michael Mann, a climatologist at Pennsylvania State University, agrees it's 'too early to tell' the impact of global warming on tornadoes, although he added:
told the New York Times in 2010:
better documented, including deluges, droughts, and heat waves.'
However, he also adds:
told Romm:
revisited the scientific evidence on global warming and tornadoes, and again highlights Trenberth's remark above.
But on the main BBC News television programmes, science correspondent David Shukman brushed the topic away:
alert earlier this year.
"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">'Deniers Want The Public To Be Confused'
But sometimes luck simply runs out for high-profile, highly-paid journalists performing their clunking impressions of 'balanced' journalism. This was the fate that befell Sarah Montague of the much-vaunted BBC Radio 4 Today programme when she interviewed James Hansen on May 17. Hansen, the former senior Nasa climate scientist who first warned the world about catastrophic climate change in 1988, corrected the BBC interviewer when she said in her introduction that the global average temperature had not changed in two decades.
Why are they doing this?
caught out of its depth on climate science.
The false 'balance' in climate journalism is heavily skewed by the supposed need to share time between climate science and climate science denial. This is irrational 'journalism' by media professionals who have been seduced by a stubborn minority of people who 'refuse to accept that climate change is happening despite the overwhelming scientific evidence', notes Ryan Koronowski. This minority, particularly in the United States, are fanatic about fanning the flames of doubt and are often in powerful positions in the political establishment. These climate science deniers are often also free-market ideologues. Koronowski, deputy editor of Climate Progess, cites a recent study by researchers in Australia which found that:
Green Backlash, Routledge, London, 1996; and Sharon Beder, Global Spin, Green Books, Totnes, 1997.)
For many years now, there has been an overwhelming scientific consensus on climate change. A new survey of more than 4,000 peer-reviewed papers showed that 97.1% agreed that humans are causing climate change. Suzanne Goldenberg reported on the Guardian website that:
criminal on a global scale, given the catastrophic consequences of continued carbon emissions.
"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">The Pan-Tentacled, Wall-Eyed And Parrot-Beaked Global Kraken
Political, military, industry and financial elites who take science seriously are well aware of the pressing reality of climate change, and worry about what it means for their global grip on power. Nafeez Ahmed observes that the US military is becoming 'increasingly concerned about the international and domestic security implications of climate change.' A US Department of Defense (DoD) document, published in February this year, warns that climate change will have 'significant geopolitical impacts around the world, contributing to greater competition for more limited and critical life-sustaining resources like food and water.' Climate change impacts will likely also act 'as accelerants of instability or conflict in parts of the world' and 'DoD will need to adjust to the impacts of climate change on its facilities, infrastructure, training and testing activities, and military capabilities.'
The US military's stance on climate change is, of course, not motivated out of a heartfelt wish to be a benefactor for humanity. As Ahmed points out:
expand their Arctic military presence.'
Methane hydrates lying beneath the Arctic permafrost and the seafloor are tantalisingly now within reach. An attempt by the Tokyo-based state oil company Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation to extract methane from far below the ocean 'shows promise': an odd way to describe a reckless operation that will further tip the balance in favour of climate instability. A Nature news story, 'Japanese test coaxes fire from ice', blithely told readers:
'Together we stand'. Those are nice-sounding words. But they are an unfortunate echo of the well-known farcical refrain from the UK's discredited 'coalition' government: 'We're all in this together'. The propaganda phrase conveys a convenient myth of a shared society with shared aims: a real democracy, in other words.
The Nature editorial springs from a similarly deluded mindset:
Rowell and Beder, as well as our own books.)
If the world's leading scientific publication has failed us, perhaps we could turn instead to writers such as Edward Abbey. In his classic novel The Monkey Wrench Gang, Abbey powerfully and poetically rails against the corporate ravaging of the environment. In one vivid scene, the four titular protaganists overlook the devastation wreaked by a huge strip mine in Arizona:
challenge the corporate media that limits the possibility of even discussing alternatives to the madness of global capitalism.

Norman Wisdom (1915-2010), Actor and comedian
Sir Norman Wisdom
Sitter in 7 portraits
After leaving the army in 1946, Wisdom embarked on a career as an entertainer, appearing in variety shows across Britain. He is most famous for his extensive film career, in which he played Norman Puckle, a willing but hopeless 'little man' who struggled valiantly in situations with which the audience could identify. His seventeen films, mostly made during the 1950s and 1960s, included Trouble in Store, The Square Peg, A Stitch in Time and The Sandwich Man. His television work included appearances in The Last of the Summer Wine, Casualty and on chat shows. He was knighted in 2000.

A Billet Specialties Tru Trac serpentine system leads the charge and lines up the polished ancillaries via a Goodyear Gatorback belt, while an AutoRad core support, closeout panel, and aluminum radiator armed with dual Viper fans keep the engine temps in check.
After Dan worked his magic on the firewall, Mike Henn and Kevin Jenkins installed the engine, electrical, and plumbing. Dan massaged the inner fenders then doused the engine bay in Toyota Dark Gray metallic with satin finish. He tied in some tasty nuances including custom spark plug wire/puke tank brackets then inconspicuously relocated the coil packs to the firewall. DSE fender braces and Billet Specialties hood hinges complement the scene.
A Tremec TKO transmission and McLeod RXT twin-disc clutch ably handle shifting duties, while twist makes its way to a Spraker Racing-assembled Dana 12-bolt rearend housing and limited slip armed with 3.73 cogs.
With the "snowball effect" in full swing, Pete knew the modestly upgraded suspension was a less-than-stellar candidate to handle the car's newfound horsepower. Dan wrote the prescription for a Detroit Speed Inc, suspension setup and doctored in the healthy concoction. A DSE subframe was bolted in up front along with DSE's QUADRALink suspension system out back. Double adjustable JRi coilover shocks reside on all four corners. Baer six-piston calipers and 14-inch rotors handle stopping duties up front while Baer four-piston grabbers and 13-inch rotors do diligence out back. While at it, Dan heated in a set of DSE subframe connectors to further stiffen the chassis. BFG KDW rubber (275/35-18 front, 335/30-18 rear) wrap around a set of Budnik Cobalt rims (18x10 front, 18x12 rear).
Drawing from the Pro Touring template, the interior is a stellar example of form and function featuring a custom production performed by Hot Rod Interiors by Chuck. The one-off door panels and carbon-fiber center console solidify the sporty/luxury motif commonly found in today's muscle car builds. Race-inspired black leather Recaro seats set the scene for the interior and the DSE rollbar offers additional safety and chassis stiffness. Reminiscent of a P-51 cockpit, the gauge panel is populated with a plethora of informants, including white-faced Auto Meter Pro Comp gauges and an LED shift light. A Flaming River polished steering column topped by a black leather wrapped Flaming River D steering wheel provides course navigation while a Vintage Air A/C system ensures a comfy captain's quarters.
Freeman's Car Stereo installed an Alpine CDA-9857 head unit, which conducts the tunes through a 1,200-watt amp and quad assemblage of flush-mounted speakers (MB Quart 5-inchers up front, and 6x9s in the rear).
With the NRE Alien intake's additional height requirements, an AMD 4-inch cowl hood was called upon to provide the necessary clearance. Dan modified the cowl opening for additional race flavor then aligned and fit it to perfection.
Although Pete admits to embarking on an unforeseen three-year journey of letdowns and buildups, it was a trip worth taking. "This car is now the perfect balance of performance and show quality in which I take great pride," said Pete. "It gets driven on a weekly basis, and also sees a good amount of track time."
To this day Pete claims the most memorable experience was testing the car at Charlotte Motor Speedway. "We got to spend half a day tuning the car's suspension on the big track and the infield road course. I never dreamed of having such an opportunity."
So what would he do different if given a second chance? "A few things come to mind," said Pete. "I'd start off with a car that wasn't quite so finished, hire an appraiser to look the car over, and next—and quite possibly most importantly—I'd tell my wife about purchasing the car before telling my daughter. Things just tend to work better that way."

Wheeled vehicles steer from the front. So why do boats and most planes steer from the rear, even boats that have no propellers?
Steering is only a matter of generating appropriate forces on the vehicle in a stable manner and so, in principle, vehicles can be designed to steer at either or both ends, provided the designer understands the dynamics of the system.
The tandem-rotor Chinook helicopter, the SRN4 hovercraft, the roller skate and the skateboard all steer at both ends, as do a small number of cars and a smaller number of bikes and motorbikes. Most aircraft and helicopters steer from the front because the steering is carried out by ailerons, or hinged surfaces, on the wings or the lateral cyclic tilt of the main rotor. The rudder or tail rotor is only used to balance the turn and to keep hull drag to a minimum.
In the case ...

Great for daytime wear
Overall: Yes, I would recommend this product.
Quite comfortable, not too bulky yet absorbent.
Pros:Better for daytime with less bulkiness than nighttime and good absorbency.
Overall: Yes, I would recommend this product.
The very best, most absorbent product for daytime that we have found!
Pros:Soft, comfortable cut, very absorbent
Cons:The daytime and overnight underwear by Tranquility look very similar which was confusing for Mother. By marking the front of each overnight unit, we solved the problem and made sure Mother put the undergarment on correctly. (Writing indicating front is very small and very light on both styles.)
Overall: Yes, I would recommend this product.
They are not as generous as the 'Nitetime' in the hip. Tend to tear when wearing on the left side.
Pros:Secure fit
Cons:defective left side
Overall: Yes, I would recommend this product.
love Tranquility for Dad. 250Lbs no leaks throughout the night.
My parents really like this product.
excellant product would recommend
Excellent product for daytime protection.
I have tried several of Parentgiving's incontinence underwear products and find this underwear to be the softest, most comfortably fitting, and above all, the most absorbent.
I love the Tranquility products for my mother. The absorbancy is exceptional and the soft, fabric-like construction makes them the most comfortable incontinence products on the market.

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

As the saying goes, pictures are worth a thousand words. But do photos capture every nuance of feeling, like one or two lines of poetry can?
William DeSena, a CU-Boulder film studies student who spent the spring 2014 semester at sea through CU-Boulder's Study Abroad program, found that in poetry he could capture the steps of his journey in a way that retained sensory detail, beyond the still imagery of a photo.

Law, who started just off John Sutton in his first appearance since a summer move from Conference side Alfreton Town, showed early promise in his bid to emulate brother Nicky's impressive two-year spell at Fir Park as he finished twice after getting ahead of the visiting defence.
Motherwell were well on top until the 35th minute when Olafur Karl Finsen converted a penalty after Keith Lasley was adjudged to have handled.
And they suffered a huge blow in injury-time when Finsen netted again after Lasley was ruled to have pushed over Rolf Toft as Motherwell scrambled to defend a counter-attack.
The hosts might have had a penalty themselves seconds earlier when Simon Ramsden went down as he looked set to score following a corner.
Stjarnan, who sit second in the Icelandic League after 11 unbeaten games, have the advantage of playing on their own artificial pitch for the second leg of the Europa League second qualifying round.

guys whats the diference between a retro and a normal ural apart from suspension, tank, low sidecar etc? im looking at getting one . I currentley ride a hp2e and im keeping it, just have always wanted a ural. thanks mike
Retros have smaller 18 inch wheels, a higher final drive ratio (3.9 compared with 4.6), a different frame and no leading link front wheel suspension. Engine, drive train and brakes are the same.
If you haven't done so already have a look at Soviet Steeds and Russian Iron forums. Lots of info and help on both
thanks ural norm will do
Generally speaking the Retro will earn a bit more MPG & your upper hyway speed can be higher as the rpm are lower.
Have been told by an owner that the over all ride is smoother.
Keep in mind the Retro only comes in 1wd but still has the reverse.
I found the seat to handle bar position is different, but nothing that would drive me away from either.
Very shortly:
You are "1.80m" you want to drive "off road": Tourist, patrol or Gear Up
You want a nice looking hack for "sundays" rides, on "normal" roads: Retro
thanks wolf and kristoff, thats a bit of a bummer cause australia is except for the coast , one big off road track, i always buy what i like the look of and try and make it work, well i better think somemore.
Mike, except for the higher gearing the Retros work well in Oz. Last October, Jon Taylor, our local importer, took one on a 2 day adventure ride from Kentucky (near Uralla) to Inverell and return. All up we had 16 Urals, and the Retro was the first and only one in the country. Not 4 wheel drive country, but many dirt roads that have been used in past Wynn's around Aust rallies.
Check the Sydney dealer, they list a Retro on BikeSales, so they should have one for you to drool on. Good luck.
I've taken my Tourist up the Oodnadatta Track, to Lake Eyre, through the Snowy mtns, all over Tassie, Uluru & Alice Springs, 6 Adelaide - East Coast trips and a couple of Ural Oz Adventure rides. A Retro could have easily done all of these trips, the higher gearing would be a plus on interstate bitumen travel.
yeah Norm, i reckon my hp2e does me for the off road but if the retro can handle dirt roads like the oodnadatta then it should suffice. I saw the one you mentioned and hope to get to kentucky (au) to test ride one in the next few weeks.
Way to go Mike, a group of over 20 outfits will be assembling at Ural Kentucky HQ on Monday 24 Sept. A 3 day adventure ride to the Nth coast and back to Kentucky. Jon and his helpers are great people to deal with. You won't be disappointed.
thanks norm, will get up there in next week or so.
Mike, check out Jon's web page. He is bringing in 2 white with black pin striping Retros. Pic on his home page, looks fantastic.
yep thanks norm, i kinda like the olive green colour as i always liked the m70 version. From what i can see, the retro will make it most places i need to go and seems to be quicker and look better. When i ride the hp2 i get off road but most of the klms have been dirt road and i suspect a ural will be no diferent. I see sand a bit of a prob but cant see me going off road that far that the sand will be that deap. Im 51 and feel 41 so i suspect if the track is that wild i would be taking the hp2e anyway.
Mike, we are on a 3 day Adventure Ride with 21 Urals, including 2 Retros. Lots of 4wd tracks yesterday with sand. The Retros were as capable as the Tourists.
I was wrong about the Retro fd ratios. In Oz they are the same as the Tourists, 4.62. Only 3 are in stock and next shipment to Oz will be January.
I started a thread at Soviet Steeds asking about it
Thanks Norm, love to see so vid or pics of the trip

It is usually performed by women, although it can also be performed by men as well. The performer does not necessarily have to be nude, although the performer can play "peek-a-boo" with the audience with the bubble. However, this dance can be a great embarrassment to many dancers if the audience threatens to burst their bubble.
Today, the bubble dance is not seen often, but is still in use in some countries.
In one cartoon in the Looney Tunes series, called Hollywood Steps Out, a cariacature of Rand is seen performing a bubble dance. She appears to be wearing only a bubble in front of her. Her bubble glows bright white, and it looks as though her skin and the bubble are the same color. She lifts up her bubble to reveal the illegal parts of her body and the screen rises up to prevent the cartoon's viewers from seeing them and then it comes back down to cover them again. Then, Harpo Marx comes out from under a table with a slingshot and pops her bubble, revealing Rand wearing a barrel.
There is also a sketch in "The Benny Hill Show" that features a variation of this dance. In it, Benny plays a schoolboy who visits a strip club and sees "Mahala", played by Corinne Russell, doing her "daring Balloon Dance". Corinne wears almost nothing with only her balloon to cover her breasts. She winks and blows kisses at the crowd. She does some kicks and deep stretches as well as splits, until schoolboy Benny decides to use his slingshot on her, but rather than popping the balloon, he inadvertingly pops her instead, as she was actually a blow up doll.

NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300: The NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 is part of the lower performance segment and the competitor card of the ATI X1300. Technically it is simply lower clocked GeForce Go 7300.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Intel Core 2 Duo: This is the Core Duo and Core Solo successor with a longer pipeline and 5-20% more speed without more power consumption. As an addition to the Core Duo design there exists a fourth decoder, an amplified SSE-unit and an additional arithmetical logical unit (ALU).
The Core 2 Duo for laptops is identical to the desktop Core 2 Duo processors but the notebook-processors work with lower voltages (0.95 to 1188 Volt) and a lower Frontside bus clock (1066 vs 667 MHz). The performance of equally clocked notebooks is 20-25% lower than Desktop PCs because of the lower Frontside bus clock and the slower hard disks.
T7200: Mid-range (at the time of annoucement) dual core processor based on the Merom core. » Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
15.4": 15 inch display-variants are the standard and are used for more than the half of all notebooks. 15.4 inch display with 16:10 are the standard for notebook displays. Nowadays, more and more 16:9 displays with 15.6 inch appear. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
2.6 kg: This notebook is lighter than the average of all notebooks. It is too heavy for sub-notebooks. 14 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
Toshiba: Toshiba Corporation is a multinational conglomerate manufacturing company, headquartered in Japan. The company's main business is in Infrastructure, Consumer Products, and Electronic devices and components. Toshiba-made Semiconductors are among the Worldwide Top 20 Semiconductor Sales Leaders. Toshiba is one of the biggest international notebook-manufacturer. There exist many reviews for Toshiba models.

I am not going to start playing PvZ again.
I am not going to start...
Definitive Plants vs. Zombies Guide: How to grow more plants faster, kill more zombies deader, get more money quicker!
While we're all waiting for the Plants vs. Zombies 2 to show up in the iPhone and iPad App Store, the original version is still providing tons of fun, not to mention frenetic plant on zombie action! I've lost many a nights sleep playing PvZ since it launched, and I've accumulated a bunch of really handy tips, hints, and cheats. Here are my top 10!
Check which zombies are coming before you select your plants Before you start the level you get a glimpse at which zombies will attack on that level. That lets you know the proper plants to choose for that level. There are some zombies which are only beaten by certain plants, such, as the bungee zombie, and you want to make sure you have the right plant, like canopy plant, to stop them dead(er).
Farm the Yeti to earn money more quicklyThe yeti zombie is cute yet reclusive. He is only found on one level (4-10) and only after you have completed the levels once in full, and then gone back to complete them again. However, you can use the second time to farm the yeti and get three diamonds. If you dont see the yeti zombie in the preview restart the game a second time or kill the game in the task bar. The yeti zombie will run if he takes too much damage so always make sure to put some plants behind him to slow his escape. You can keep farming him for as long as you want with this method, just don't pass the level. (Apologies for the fog in the picture it is hard to take pictures during a lightning storm!)
These are far from all the tips and tricks for plants vs zombies but they are most of my favorites. I hope they tide you over until Plants vs Zombies 2 comes out! Please let me know which Plants vs. Zombies tips and tricks you've found, and add them in to the comments below. If you have any questions, new tips, or just need additional Plants vs Zombies support, tweet me @Georgia_Prime!

I am not going to start...
I prefer to put sunflowers in rows 2 and 3, and save the back row for shooters. This gives the shooters much more time to deal damage, and sunflowers are cheaper to replace should any in row 3 go down.
Augh! I just loaded the game and all my progress was lost! I haven't played much bu I loaded it about 2 weeks ago and it had lost my progress then too. Since that time I had played about 2 hours worth. Anyone know how to resolve this or, more likely, prevent it from happening again?
Edit: I just went ahead and deleted the game & resinstalled it. Don't know if it'll help but it sure can't hurt to delete all the preferences & underlying files since I lost my progress anyways.
you dont need to delete or reinstall, where there is an error message or progress seems lost, follow this:
If you are on Windows XP:
C:\Program Files\PopCap Games\Plants vs. Zombies
If you are on Windows Vista or 7:
C:\ProgramData\PopCap Games\Plants vs. Zombies
(Note: if you're on Vista or 7, you probably need to change your folder options to "Show Hidden Files and Folders" before you can access the ProgramData directory and find these files.)
Copy the contents of the userdata folder, and save them to a secondary location. The simplest option will be to copy the entire folder and paste it into your Documents directory or onto your Desktop.
Now delete the userdata folder from its original location.
Launch Plants vs Zombies. You will be prompted to create a new user profile. If there were multiple user profiles, you will need to create the correct number of players to match the number of profiles you need to restore.
Look in your saved userdata folder to verify how many profiles you need to create. If you have only user1.dat, then you only need to create one profile. If you have user1.dat and user2.dat, you need to create two profiles. If you have ever deleted a profile, you may see that your files are out of sequence; you may have user1.dat and user3.dat, for example. If that is the case, you need to create three profiles.
It is important to recreate the profiles in the correct order. If Mikey played the game first, make sure your first profile is named Mikey, and so forth.
It is not necessary to play the game under any of these new profiles; all you're doing is making placeholder files of the same names so that you can replace them with your saved originals.
Exit Plants vs Zombies.
Go to your saved backup folder, and delete the users.dat file. That's the file that's causing your pain, so be sure to take a moment and revel in the satisfaction of hitting Delete!
In the new userdata folder, delete all of the files EXCEPT users.dat.
Copy the rest of the files from your saved backup folder, and paste them into the userdata folder in the game directory. You may be prompted to confirm that you want to replace existing files in that location. You do, so just say yes!
Launch Plants vs Zombies again. Your game should be right where you left it
