'Coal summit' stokes trouble at climate talks
Poland on Thursday defended a contested "coal summit" that will be staged in Warsaw next week alongside climate talks on curbing Earth-warming fossil fuels.
Poland on Thursday defended a contested "coal summit" that will be staged in Warsaw next week alongside climate talks on curbing Earth-warming fossil fuels.
The UN climate talks opening in Warsaw next week will not be without a touch of irony.
The United States said Tuesday it would end most financing of coal projects overseas, taking a potentially significant step to curbing carbon emissions blamed for climate change.
Shuangyashan is a coal mining prefecture-level city located in the eastern part Heilongjiang province, People's Republic of China, bordering Russia's Khabarovsk and Primorsky krais to the east.
The University of Kentucky Center for Applied Energy Research is developing green technology to capture carbon dioxide emissions from coal-fired power plants, using algae.
(Phys.org) —People from 140 countries across the globe will be signing a treaty this month—its purpose is to reduce the amount of man-made mercury pollution being released into the environment. The treaty ...
The US Environmental Protection Agency proposed Friday to limit carbon dioxide emissions from new power plants in a bid to implement President Barack Obama's plan to fight climate change.
Most drivers are willing to pay for onboard technology that will reduce carbon emissions, as well as sacrifice some fuel economy and storage space, in order to cut greenhouse gases resulting from combustion engines, say University ...
President Barack Obama's top energy and environmental officials said Wednesday there is a future for coal, despite a pending regulation aimed at limiting global warming pollution from new power plants that ...
The outlet in your living room doesn't know a lot—yet. Unaware of whether they are drawing power from wind, solar, gas, or coal plants, the electrical lines that bring us power in many ways still resemble ...
To meet current U.S. coal demand through surface mining, an area of the Central Appalachians the size of Washington, D.C., would need to be mined every 81 days.
Central European powerhouse Poland will anchor its energy strategy in coal and shale gas, with only limited investment in renewables, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Tuesday.
Manta rays are hard to miss —big, black and stretching up to seven metres wide, but scientists are concerned about the survival of the world's largest ray.
In the 1970s, red spruce was the forest equivalent of a canary in the coal mine, signaling that acid rain was damaging forests and that some species, especially red spruce, were particularly sensitive to ...
Analysis of fossilized remains of the two meter tall terror bird (Gastornis) indicate that was unlikely to have been a carnivore.

Gear Review
Great to wear, but a hassle to wash
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Great as an under layer, but needs to be hand washed ( or at least hand dried to avoid shrinkage). Capilene that can be thrown in a washer drier, seems on balance more practical for a base layer.

Spring film review: Gators impress
A film review of spring games reveals positive signs for UF and four other programs
Different coaches look for different things and have different goals in mind during spring practice, but if there's one thing that they are all hoping to do, it is identify the best playmakers and difference-makers on the team.
Playmakers can create a stir during standard practices, but the best place to make an impression is during the spring game. Nothing this time of year showcases your ability to have an impact on a contest like doing so on the biggest available stage.
After reviewing the footage of multiple spring games, five players/position groups stood out as the best playmaker candidates. While the sample size of a spring game is clearly a very small one, all five of the teams listed below have reason to feel very positive about these players and positions heading into the summer.
Florida Gators -- John Brantley
It might seem a bit odd to be touting Brantley after a 4-for-14, 45-yard performance in the Orange and Blue game, but consider this: In a three-game sample review of Brantley's 2010 season, he threw a stretch vertical pass (defined as thrown 20 or more yards downfield) only 5 percent of the time. This is a very low number and indicates the Gators were not very effective at even threatening the long pass.
In the spring game, four of Brantley's aerials fell under the "stretch vertical" designation and one would have been completed for 40 yards had it not been for a very good defensive play. Brantley also did not force any of these downfield passes into coverage, so the downside on these throws was limited. It bodes well for what the Florida vertical game will be able to do in 2011 -- not just for Brantley and Charlie Weis' new downfield passing game, but for the playmakers in the Gators' running game as well.

Gills chairman Paul Scally is entering the busiest period of his year with the playing budget for next season high on his agenda.
Mr Scally has spent the last few weeks soaking up the glory of winning League 2 but is now ready for a summer of hard work.
Manager Martin Allen wants his team to be competitive next season and has already targeted players so that can happen.
Mr Scally said: "We will always try and bring in new players and more players, because that's our culture and that's what we work for.
"But I haven't done the budget yet for next season, so I can't really finalise the playing list until I have done the budget.
"It is a process that happens over May and June really, I don't think there is a particular day or week I do it – it is just an ongoing process.
"We could still be signing players in July, we probably will be. There is not a particular date that we have to finish it all by.
"We could still be signing players in July, we probably will be. There is not a particular date that we have to finish it all by.
"It is just you want to try and formulate what players are available now and who you might be going with. That's the process Martin and his team are working on, and presenting those players, the options and potential to me."
The Gills received several unexpected cash windfalls last season, with the sale of Paulo Gazzaniga to Southampton, a £1million-plus profit due from a sell-on clause for Matt Jarvis and on-going add-ons in the deal that saw Ryan Bertrand head to Chelsea.
That cash-injection was a bonus that the Gills don't have this season.
"We have always invested in the teams since I have been here," said Mr Scally, who insisted he won't overspend.
"There has never been anything different, but we will only invest money we have, we won't invest money we don't have.
"Martin has been fortunate that due to (former manager) Andy Hessenthaler's good business in the transfer market, in so far as acquiring Gazzaniga and handing Matt Jarvis his first contract, and down to my experience in doing transfer deals, with Ryan Bertrand as well, we have managed to benefit over the last year or so with some extra cash.
"That extra cash has part-funded the new management that has come in and part-funded the additional players.
"I think had Hessy had that cash the year before, he would no doubt have brought inconditioning and strengthening coaches, nutritionists, and those sorts of people, but unfortunately we didn't have that money and so he didn't and he couldn't.
"Martin has benefited, in that we have been able to bring in better players, more players and more backroom staff.
"There is no doubt those people have had an impact on the team, making it fitter and stronger, mentally and physically."

29 year old man | Las Vegas, NV, USA | Seeking women 25-35 within 50 miles
It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see
About me: I graduated UNLV with a bachelors in economics. I love my career, which is a family business. I am very close with my family. I spend most free time with my two brothers, and on Sundays watch football with my mom (Dallas Cowboys). I am a very optimistic person. I always try to keep things light, and try to cheer people up with jokes or just being nice. I was raised that men should act like men. Things like opening doors for ladies, or being the provider for a family is really important. Lifestyle: I do not go to clubs. I am more of an outdoors person. I like to go camping, boating, snowboarding, shooting, or just sit at home and watch a movie. I am a terrible golfer, but I love the game. For the past 6 months or so I have really showed an interest in racquetball. I try to play about 3 times a week. I do go to the gym quite often. If I can't find a good excuse to go to the gym than I go. Who I am looking for: I am looking to find the right girl to settle down with. Vegas is a tough place to meet a down to earth woman. I do not want to meet my partner in a bar or at a club. I came to match because I figured that I could meet someone who wants the same thing I do. That is to settle down and hopefully begin a relationship. I am looking for a woman who does not mind doing things on a whim. I like to go see a football game with a couple days notice. I might decide to go snowboarding the night before. I am a tropical person so my partner would have to like to go to the beach. Most importantly I am looking for a girl who knows when to dress up like a Barbie Doll and when to throw on Levi's and go camping. I am an independent person. I own my house in providence, and have a plan to pay it off on 4 years.

BMW launched and announced its initial M Performance Parts lineup officially at the 2012 Geneva Motorshow.

Chris Harris drives the BMW M550d xDrive, the first in the line of new BMW M Performance vehicles.
It has more torque than the space shuttle and BMW claims it will do over 40mpg. BMW also says it won't be selling the car in the UK or the US, the places that DRIVE is most commonly viewed. But when something has 3 turbos, you've got to go drive it at 155mph: no? … asks Chris Harris.
For ALPINA, a technology driven company, standstill is a foreign word. Since the introduction of the B7 Bi-Turbo, the engineers from Buchloe, Germany, have been continuously working on the details of the turbo charging and intercooler system.
Consequently, the all-aluminium V8 power plant now produces 540hp (397kW) at a moderate 5200 to 6250rpm, with a maximum torque of 730Nm from 2800 to 5000rpm. Two turbo-chargers configured in parallel, each feeding one … CONTINUED

5POST member delvek reviews his Hartge ECU remap for the 550i, which he had performed on site at Hartge's facilities. Hartge's official stats for their 550i ECU is 360 kW (490 hp) / 5500 rpm 720 Nm (lb-ft 531) / 6400 rpm.
The results? The Hartge engineers were able to record a 80kmh (50mph) to 180kmh (110mph) run in just 7.2 seconds. Delvek's previously stock 550i took 11.4 seconds to reach the same speed!

Six Insanely Cute Baby Animals… That Were Rejected by Their Moms!
Sometimes animals in captivity will reject their young. There are a variety of reasons why they might do this, including the fact that they simply might never have had the chance to learn how to take care of their offspring as they would have in the wild. Here are six examples of baby animals that had to face the world alone… until a helping human stepped in to become 'mom'.
Alexander the Meerkat

Poor Alexander was born out of wedlock and had to suffer the consequences. His mom, a subordinate female in the meerkat clan, had mated with a sibling. Typically, only the alpha male and female get to mate, and babies born in other couplings are rejected. Luckily, staff at England's Exmoor Zoo stepped up to help the wee little 'kat. He will soon graduate from drinking half a milliliter of milk every two hours to scarfing down porridge and scrambled eggs. Not a terrible life, if you ask me.
Zawadi the Aardvark

Born pink, bald – and alone. Zawadi was abandoned jut hours after his birth at Busch Gardens in Tampa, Fl. The animal experts at the park stepped in after they noticed momma Aardvark wasn't really ready to join the leagues of parenthood. Zawadi is one of only 35 Aardvarks in zoos across North America.
Mr. Woo the Wallaby

Oh, Mr. Woo, I'll take care of you! This albino wallaby wasn't wanted by his mother after he was born looking a bit different. The poor animal's weight plummeted as he was starved of food and affection – and his owner was forced to take him to the Secret World animal centre in Highbridge, Somerset, in a desperate bid to save him. Fortunately Mr. Woo made a full recovery and even gained a new friend in the process! The wildlife carer who took him in had a Doberman Pincer that fell head over tail in love with Mr. Woo and now the two are inseparable.
Estela the Spider Monkey
It was all hands on deck after little Estela was abandoned by her mother, Sunshine (ironic, eh?), at Melbourne Zoo in south-eastern Australia. Estela was very traumatized by the whole ordeal so zookeepers made sure to keep her company with cuddly stuffed animals and some even took turns sleeping next to the tiny monkey! Jess McKelson, a primate supervisor at the zoo, said that the past few weeks have been very anxious for everyone in her department.'We're taking turns to stay overnight with Estela to monitor her condition and provide the overnight feeds,' she said. 'Keeping Estela alive has been a big challenge, and she has had ups and downs over this time, with several infections that have been a real threat to her survival. As of May 2011, Estela was back to full health and is now on display with her grandmother Sonja.
Nafanya the Seal

Life as a ginger seal pup can be tough, as Nafanya can attest to. She was found sitting all alone on the beach on Tyuleniy Island, Russia, while the rest of her sleek black family played in the waves. With brilliant blue eyes and rusty-colored fur, the unusual seal really stood out from the rest of the pack. The red hue comes from an accumulation of iron in the seal's fur.
Several months later, however, Nafanya is doing more than alright, as she is now the star attraction at Akvatoria dolphinarium. Yulia Frolova, head of the Akvatoria dolphinarium – Nafanya's new home, said: 'She now has a special enclosure with a pool, and two weeks after her arrival, people are already coming to see her.Her keepers say she loves being the centre of attention, and Ms Frolova added: 'She has a playful nature. She loves to play with her toy – a small blue ball. 'But what she likes the most its to play with a fish at feeding time. She will follow it, catch it, put it in her mouth, release it and finally eat it. 'Nafanya is such a lovely animal and is certainly not afraid of people.'
Hamish the Lesser Bamboo Lemur

It's hard to believe any animal mother could reject something so cute! Just look at this big brown eyes! Sadly, this was in fact the case for Hamish. However, zookeepers readily came to his aid and provided 24-hour care for the little lemur. Periodic updates from the UK's Banham Zoo let us know that even though Hamish had a rough start in life, he's now flourishing. Yay for happy endings!

Stan Soloway, head of the Professional Services Council and about the most-enlightened government contracting trade association executive out there, wrote a column recently in Washington Technology (subscription required) discussing the widely watched GSA OASIS procurement, which will be a crucial GSA multiple-award vehicle for IT-related professional services. Soloway is effusive in his praise for the pre-solicitation communication with industry about the content of the RFP. As he notes, in an environment where many inside the government are not taking advantage of the opportunity for the government to improve an RFP based on industry comments, this is good news. But as he also notes, there is also something very disturbing about the draft RFP: it states that past-performance information from government projects will be counted more heavily than information from work that contractors have done for private-sector customers. This is really not a good idea. One of the problems with the government's procurement system is that government-unique regulations create a barrier to commercial, predominantly private-sector oriented companies doing more business in the government marketplace. This is a problem because -- like any tariff barrier -- it creates a hothouse environment where competition is lower and insiders can gain business based on mastery of procurement rules more than satisfying their customers. And the commercial environment is one where performance is strongly prioritized, and failure to perform is punished more swiftly than in a government environment. It's good for the government to hire firms that are used to such an environment. Some government folks feel more comfortable with government-unique contractors who know the government's environment better. But if I were in the government and wanted to put a premium on performance, I would want to be sure I had access to predominantly commercial firms. At a minimum, such firms should be in a multiple-award mix, to increase the range of options available to government customers. GSA is arguing that it's easier to evaluate past performance on government business. I don't buy this -- if anything, the opposite may be true. The RFP should require bidders wishing to give commercial references to list their last five jobs over a certain dollar amount, and government people should just call references and briefly interview them. The information -- unfortunately -- might actually be better than much of the material in the government's past-performance databases. The good news is that, with the consultation they are doing, the OASIS program still has time to rectify this mistake.
P.S. I participated in the Walk for Hunger over the weekend. Through my blog, I would like to thank Fedbid and ASI Government for sponsoring me, also my colleagues Todd Rogers, Jack Donahue, Jennifer Lerner, and Linda Bilmes, my family Leora Kelman, Jody Kelman, Ellen Kelman, and Susan Hyatt; also Nick Economou, retired from GSA.

Don, thanks for your comment. I guess the issue is what is relevant -- I would argue, and I am not alone, that private-sector experience in dealing with tough IT problems is EXTREMELY relevant for the government.
FAR 15.305(a)(2)(i) states, in part, the following: "The currency and RELEVANCE of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in contractor's performance shall be considered." What's wrong with GSA favoring offerors with more relevant past performance?
Industry Day did not bring much change... I think GSA is going to find it challenging to get enough qualified bidders. This will be interesting to watch...
Thanks for these thoughtful comments. The comments that CAS compliance will be required for bidders (offerors) is a good one, which would make it very difficult for predominantly commercial firms to bid. My understanding is that this requirement may be removed. It would make more sense to require this only for firms that want to bid on large cost-based task orders. Stan Soloway's remark that the past performance differentiation has become even more dramatic is depressing.

I have 4 periods in a year and in every period there's another theme with different subjects. The subjects in a period are very different from the other period, in the first period I had three tests, because I had three subjects. In this period I have about 5 subjects, so I have 5 tests. With languages we also have presentations and 'mondeling' tests, I don't know the English word for 'mondeling'
My education at this school will take 4 years (if I don't fail a year) and in the third and fourth year we have to go work with a company for 6 months to get experience. I don't know how to explain it, so I hope you'll understand.
I'm in my second year now and it's a lot easier than the first, because I had two educations at once in the first year. That's because if you want to switch educations, you don't lose a year by starting over, but I don't know if other schools have that, as far as I know it's only on my school.

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
Unsatisfied with his new wife (and all of their newfound incompatibility), Thornton Wolff sought "comfort" from friend Jamie Jolina. Frequently... and at his house, while Morgana was working the night shift at the hospital. Just after finishing some "comforting," the burglar alarm went off and the police showed up soon after. Thornton and Jamie were terrified, but Jamie was able to sneak out the back door when an early Morgana was distracted by the chaos.

Historical Traveler Reviews The Blakely New York New York City
Enjoyable Stay
Though we've visited NYC many times before while living in CT, this was a first time hotel experience in NYC. The Blakely is a small "botique hotel" tucked away in the middle of 55th St. If you are expecting a grand high ceilinged lobby, wide hallways and lots of top-hatted bellhops in red jackets, you'll be disappointed. But if you want to feel like a your a member of a small special club that only a select few know about (the bellhop and and desk clerks recognized me each time I entered), then you'll enjoy the Blakely.
I recommend reserving a suite. The extra room is really nice, though I suspect the regular room (king) is quite comfortable. I'll also say that the pictures on the website don't do the rooms justice. I thought the pictures made them look somewhat cold, but the opposite is true. Each time my wife and I entered our room, we felt like it was our own private place.
Down side: the hotel restaurant and fitness room are still not complete, so don't expect room service. Also, when we checked out, one of the bellhops (who was told of our departure) neglected to bring down our things (the problem was graciously and very quickly rectified).
Up side: the concierge was very helpful and made reservations for us at a local restaurant--and treated us to a champagne toast at the restaurant (it was our honeymoon). Also, there is a SUPERB florist two or three doors west. During the week they have fresh flower bouquets available.
All in all, we would stay there again. The rooms are relaxing and well-appointed. Location and staff were great.
Excellent hotel, staff and location
Starting staying at the Blakely when it was called the Gorham Hotel - close to 10 years ago. We have loved the location of the hotel. The convenience to NBC studies, Carnegie Hall, Radio City Music Hall, buses and the subway are fantastic. My friends and family will stay in their suites as much as possible. Would recommend to anyone.
Suites are of good size, enjoy the kitchenette. We really enjoy the water controlled temperature gauge in the bathroom.
Nice NEW hotel in Midtown
Lovely room with great bed, wonderful shower, handy kitchenette, and nice location - Au Bon Pain is right across the street. Staff is friendly-but I didn't find them unusually helpful (I called about some very loud construction work on a garbage chute outside my window and never heard back).
A couple caveats: bring earplugs in case your room is on the back side of the hotel. The garbage at the Hilton (across the street) is emptied for an hour at night - usually around 10:30 pm. Elevators got backed up at times which meant a long wait in the lobby - nothing huge- just mildly annoying. Also, do your research about getting to the airport. I requested a towncar, but was talked into taking a taxi and I fear I might have overpaid.
Overall, a lovely hotel for midtown Manhattan.
Can't say enough good things about this place
Great stafff, rooms, location, towels and beds. They're even baby friendly. They brought up a crib, stored my car seat and helped me baby-proof the room.
The Place with Heart!
*****Five Stars! One of the oustanding world inns. Impeccable service, well-appointed rooms, and the location. A hidden gem. Be careful who you tell. We don't want it to be a McBradley's.
Awesome for the price!!
My wife, son and I stayed in a Deluxe 1BR Suite at the Blakely from 8/15/04 - 08/20/04 and loved it. We were able to book our room during the "End of Summer Sale " for $215 plus taxes. The room was so clean with carpet in the BR, wood floors in the sitting area and marble in the bath; we had a kitchenette with mini-fridge, dinnerware and utensils, microwave, sink and coffee pot with complimentary tea and coffee bags. The bathroom was huge and the mattress in the sitting area was like a twin bed where my son slept comfortably. Complimentary NY Times newspaper each morning.
The only problem we experienced was the fact that the A/C for the sitting room came from the bedroom and was difficult to keep cool unless the bedroom was kept quite cold but we adjusted after the 1st day.
The restaurant was not open yet so we received complimentary breakfast vouchers for use at the Park Cafe at the corner of 7th Ave and W. 55th (just down the street) which were good for up to $8 each. We all enjoyed a full breakfast each morning.
The hotel does not have any vending machines or ice machines located in the hotel. There was 1 mini ice tray in the freezer part of the mini-fridge (enough for 1 glass). Had to request ice to be brought to the room but was able to keep it in the freezer. The mini-fridge was stocked but pricey so we bought our own soft-drinks and snacks at a nearby store.
Our room was on the 9th floor facing W. 55th and could not hear any outside noise. The hotel staff was superb and professional (desk people wore classy professional business attire). The fitness center was supposed to be open by the time of our stay but was not. They had access to a fitness facility approximately 2 blocks away but my wife and son did not need it after each day of walking and sightseeing.
My son loved the 2 plasma TVs (1 w/DVD player).
Can't praise the hotel enough for what we spent.
The Best Choice in NY, hands down!!
I cant say enough as to how awesome this hotel is.
My wife and I had the pleasure of staying here
on 7/26. We just wish it was longer. This is basically a brand new hotel. It was just recently renovated and opened up in May '04. The rooms are so beautiful and clean. The bathroom was as nice as any I have seen, including 4-STAR hotels. The bed was so comfortable, we didnt want to get out and leave the room. The staff is so courteous and helpful and attentive. The location cant be beat.
This is the best hotel $$ can buy in NY.
Be smart and save your money if you are considering the Peninsula or the St Regis down the block. Stay here and see why this is soon to be the most talked about property in NY!!
The Blakely is great!
The Blakely hotel was our "home" for a one week visit July 20-27. The hotel (formerly the Gorham) has gone through a major redo. The rooms were huge by New York standards, all done in dark woods and plaids. Kind of an Olde English feel. We were upgraded to a studio suite,which had a pullout sofa bed and sitting area with chair and ottoman. All rooms have a wonderful kitchenette with granite counter, and a big marble bathroom. I peeked into one of the standard rooms and they were also a very good size. The hotel is walking distance to the theatre district,and even closer to Central Park. Staff was very nice. A winner!!
An excellent choice
We stayed at The Blakely June 12 to 17. We reserved a suite with two queen beds and a sitting area. At that time only 80 rooms were finished and at check-in we were given a room with two double beds instead because they were out of our bed configuration. However, our next four nights were in a suite with two queen beds. Everything was brand new because the hotel just reopened in May. The sitting area had two comfortable chairs and a flat screen TV. The bedroom also had a TV. We had a wonderful stay: the desk clerks and bell hops were helpful, the room was quiet, and we were close to everything. We went to three musicals and walked from 42nd street and 52nd street at night with no problem. We took the subway and it was close. We were given breakfast vouchers for a restaurant on the corner and we went twice. There are four in our family and we paid $265 a night for the suite with two queen beds. I'd stay at The Blakely again, it was perfect for us.
Great hotel, loved our stay
I was worried about going to this hotel since there were no reviews since it reopened as the Blakely but it was better than I had ever expected. The location is perfect.. It is right by the 57th St. subway stop, 1/2 block from 7th Ave. and the Carnegie Deli, not to mention lots of great restaurants and only a block or so from Radio City Music Hall. The rooms are wonderful. Great beds, two plasma TV's, nice bathrooms. Only feature that is a little deceiving is the "kitchenette", really just a microwave, sink, and a mini fridge that is full of minibar stuff. The staff was very friendly and helpful and I would stay here again whenever I could!

After seeing this episode, I'm really happy to find out that she is spared BECAUSE he can't kill her, and not some mushy soft spot in my heart crap. One of my main bright spots of this series was having a MC who makes it clear he has no problem with being past the line of no return when it comes to morality. Him saving her "just cause its the right thing to do" would have messed that up imo, but its a lot better knowing he DID want to kill her and even tried to. Now we'll see how he learns to deal with her since she's pretty much gonna be stuck to him like glue.

Man, Ogami(yeah, I'm sticking to using 1 'O') really radiated some Light vibes in the latter half of the ep, when he was like "Do you want someone dead? Just tell me their names..." .
Once again, the comedy really had me going there with the class's misunderstanding. I don't think I'll ever get tired of that(at least not in its 13-ep cour).

I am totally enjoying Ogami's "Light" vibe!
Not sure how to feel about the OST, it does well during the tense moments but seems to go rather "Disney-like" at other times.
Also, is it true this series will only be 13 episodes? This episode was so full-on for explanation that everything else might be really rushed!

Anyways, second episode felt draggy, mainly during the school scenes. Besides the absurdity of the whole murderer/love misunderstanding (which shouldn't have been used more than once imo), it didn't offer anything to the characters, since Rei immediately crashes a Starbucks once they're outside, getting through the same point of killing all witnesses to keep his secret.
Yuki and the office folk didn't really get any time to DO something, so...waiting on ep3.
P.S: If I was Sakura, I would have called the police and avoided Rei like the plague.

You know I found it quite funny that Sakura has spent no effort whatsoever denying any of the allegations that she's interested in Ogami. Although it's hard to tell whether she's oblivious to them or just chooses not to humor them.

From someone who never read the manga, all I can say it is good but unimpressive. I will see for some few episodes before I can finish it or drop it.
It seems that Autumn 2012 probably the season of bishounen action shows. Maybe that was a stretch but I did see it in that way. In comparison to other bishounen action shows I've seen, this one probably will stay in my watch list maybe lack of two guys blushing to each other....Yet.

You have to be extremely, extremely popular like Naruto and Fairy Tail in order to get such long animes, and they probably started before this whole "fit animes into a season" thing began, which is why they can go on for so long. Kamijyo probably knew that the animes are cut down to only a handful of episodes, so s/he purposely rewrote the story in order to fit into the time frame. That's why the plot felt very rushed.

Parliament Buildings, Victoria
8 Reviews
8 Reviews
Favorite thing:
B.C. Parliament Buildings, officially opened in 1898, and the aristocratic ivy-covered Fairmont Empress, designed by renowned architect Francis Mawson Rattenbury, opened in 1908 as one of the grand and elegant Canadian Pacific Railway hotels.
It was March 1892 that Rattenbury; then just 25 years old, was chosen after a year-long Competition to design BC's new Parliament Buildings.
Construction began in 1893 using mostly local materials and resources. Granite foundations came from Nelson Island, facades were faced in Haddington Island stone and brick, lime and Douglas fir all came from Vancouver Island.
The total cost when the project was completed in 1897 was $923,882 - well above the $600,000 budget.
In 1915, additions were completed to the East and West Annexes as well as the south wing, housing the magnificent Legislative Library, with its elegant marble-panelled rotunda.
These days, free guided tours provide a fascinating look at the craftmanship and architectural detail inside.
Fondest memory: There are many things to get up-too in this city. Even during the winter, when other places have shut down, you can usually find something to occupy your mind (and wallet). Most things are within walking distance of the Inner harbour, so easy to locate.
Favorite thing:
There are too many things to do!
And all what I've done there is my favourite, I'm in love with that place forever!
Inner Harbour is beautiful and there are many attractions...
Fondest memory: http://www.victoriabc.ca/victoria/parliamentbuildings.htm
Favorite thing:
For me, the icon of Victoria was not the imposing Empress Hotel, but rather the more graceful Parliament Building. This building didn't crowd the harbour, being set back behind a pleasant grassy lawn. Tourists and locals alike could relax on the lawn in front of the building and enjoy the summer sun, watched over by a rather young looking Queen Victoria.
The government buildings are a picturesque sight at night when the building is set alight by thousands of light bulbs festooned around it like Christmas decorations.
Fondest memory: Inside the Parliament Buildings you can learn a little about the history of Victoria. You will also notice that Victoria indeed has a strong British connection. There were many royal visits to this area of British Columbia including Prince Charles and Princess Diana.
Favorite thing: Another landmark in Victoria - the Parliament Buildings. Located on the Inner Harbor, the exterior is elaborately carved and surrounded by 12 acres of lawns, gardens, statues, totem poles. Guided tours are given daily in the summer in several languages. At night the building is lit up with thousands of white lights.
Fondest memory: One of my best experiences was when I was the Leader of the Opposition in the 66th Session of B.C.Y.P. We had some fantastic times! I'll never forget our Scottish sitting when all of us dressed in kilts. The guys looked HILARIOUS walking towards the legislature in their trenchcoats...looked like a bunch of flashers! It was a fantastic time!
Fondest memory: Standing on the grounds of the Parliament Buildings, you will feel that you are in Europe. The architecture of the Parliament Buildings is simply amazing. I just loved the atmosphere.
Favorite thing: visit the BC Parliament Buildings located on the harbour. Remember, Victoria is British Columbia's capital city and in this building the province's government affairs take place.

Arianna the conspiratorialist: HuffPost reviews Janine Wadel's "Shadow Elite"Arianna Huffington announced her first pick of the year for the HuffPost Book Club: "Shadow Elite" by Janine Wadel. It has taken too many years for rational people to be able to mention in polite society that our democracy has been dismantled by an elite cadre of wealthy insiders.
by Peter Duveen
PETER'S NEW YORK, Thursday, January 7, 2010--Internationally syndicated columnist Arianna Huffington has given her imprimatur to a new book, "Shadow Elite," by Janine Wadel, honoring the work as the first HuffPost Book Club pick for 2010. "Shadow Elite" details the manner in which our supposedly democratic society has been undermined by elites who craft public policy at the behest of powerful interests, to the exclusion of the needs of the average citizen. While many commentators have long ago insisted that this is so, the so-called "mainstream" has always relegated such thoughts to the realm of what it likes to call "conspiracy theory." And no wonder, since the media plays such an important role in the control exercised by these elites. The possibility that the super-wealthy have virtual control over our society, insulated to a high degree from democratic processes such as elections, is not a new one. The absence of meaningful media coverage of the very elitist annual Bilderberg Group meetings underscores the degree to which the press, television and radio have been compromised by subversive influence regarding what they are, and what they are not, to cover, regardless of its importance to the public at large. Now we have a mainstream commentator, albeit one from the left side of the spectrum, who is finally recognizing what the maligned "far right" and perhaps even the "far left" have known for decades.
Interestingly, Huffington cites, among others, the infamous former U.S. Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin as one of the controllers mentioned in "Shadow Elite." What she fails to bring to the attention of her readers among other highlights in Rubin's career, however, are the steps that Rubin took to make bailouts a standard fixture in public policy. Not only did he engineer the famous Mexican Bailout of 1995, but he continued to lobby for the formation of an international bailout fund which he claimed could play an important role in stemming crises such as the Asian economic downturn of 1999. Rubin, of course, always portrayed the existence of such funds as benefiting the public, disingenuously arguing that an unavoidable consequence, rather than the primary purpose, of their use was the rescue of well-heeled investors.
For Huffington to have come out in support of Wadel's theory of elite control (and to call it a theory is like calling what you had for breakfast a theory) is revolutionary indeed. Unless Huffington is marginalized by the mainstream media--as has happened to such media icons as Rosie O'Donnell for espousing a number of non-mainstream causes such as research into alternative explanations for the events of 9-11--this could be the beginning of a deeper consensus regarding such matters as how our elections are controlled; the manner in which our judiciary is influenced in its decisions, and how so-called representative government has been transformed into little more than a rubber stamp for wealthy interests. Undoubtedly, the role of the nonprofit sector, which includes a phalanx of organizations such as the Council on Foreign Relations (Rubin is a top honcho there) and other so-called "think tanks," will come under increased scrutiny, as well they should, by at least some members of the media. Why should we as taxpayers continue to host those who flagrantly undermine our democratic foundations?BACK TO HOME PAGE

Sai painter won't work on dual monitors?
I didn't use wacom; I used genius tablet, but SAI wouldn't work with dual monitor. All other programs work except SAI. I tried play around with the misc.ini, but it only correct the cursor's position appearance on the 2nd monitor. When I actually paint it, I could notice that the brush was off and is extended to both monitor's screen range. How do I get over this problem?

I don't know since you're using a non-wacom tablet. I didn't have any problems running Sai on 2 monitors.

A book by Nicholas Sparks
Marketing advice from Apple Computer Fellow and Macworld columnist Kawasaki. Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.
In his more recent book, Rules for Revolutionaries, Kawasaki asserts that, inorder to break down the barriers to innovation, one must "command like a king." That is to say, have steadfast convictions and then communicate those convictions to others with the power of faith and self-assurance. When asked to explain what a champion is, Jack Dempsey replied that a champion "gets up when he can't." Such determination is admirable, of course, but not always prudent. (What if David had decided to wrestle Goliath?) Agreeing with Jeffrey Gitomer, Kawasaki insists that customers must become "evangelists", not merely buyers of whatever one sells. Sustainable customer loyalty is the objective, not satisfaction with a single transaction. The same is true when one must generate support to overcome resistance to change. Two mistakes must be avoided: in Barbara Tuchman's words, "assessing a situation in terms of preconceived fixed notions while ignoring or rejecting contrary signs", and, "the refusal to benefit from experience." Only by being alert to "contrary signs" while benefiting from experience can anyone hope to prevail.
Kawasaki has sometimes been described as "controversial", usually by those who feel obliged to defend the status quo. Kawasaki challenges all assumptions and premises (including his own), convinced that agility, mobility, and hostility are essential to success in the competitive marketplace. His is a pyrotechnical mind combined with street smarts and unlimited energy. He enjoys creating "disruption"...especially when it creates profits. Read his books, follow (if you can) the way his mind works, and then go have some profitable fun yourself.

Jauregui: Eight brothers served in U.S. military
Each morning, Genaro Gomez leaves his home and drives to the El Rio community center to raise the American flag on the flagpole outside the center. He does the same each day at the El Rio library.
Just before sunset, Gomez returns to each location to take the flags down. At sunrise the next day, his routine starts again.
"I feel like this country has done a lot for me and my family," Gomez said. "I think one of the greatest things an American can do is be a patriot."
Gomez said he can't pinpoint a certain moment when patriotism became so important to him. It may have been when he returned home from the Korean War.
"Things change when you're in combat," he said. "I was afraid through a lot of it, and just thankful when I came out of it OK."
Gomez, 77, is part of a long line of family members who have served this nation in the military. He is one of nine children, eight boys and one girl, born to immigrant parents from Zacatecas, Mexico. He, along with his brothers Jess, 84, Angel, 82, Alvino, 75, Chon, 73, Johnny, 70, Joe, 67, and Manuel, 63, all served in the military at some point from 1942 through 1965.
Their parents, Antonio and Teresa Gomez, came to the United States in 1924 to provide a better life for their young family.
"It was a fend for yourself kind of situation for them in Mexico," Angel Gomez said. "They had a farm, and if there wasn't water, you didn't have a crop and then you couldn't feed your family."
When they arrived in the United States, Antonio Gomez began work first on a farm, then for Southern Pacific Railroad.
"Only a couple of us remember what it was like for our parents during the Depression," Angel Gomez said. "It was tough, and they worked hard to keep food on the table."
First son sent to war
In 1942, when the Depression was over and the world was at war, Antonio and Teresa Gomez sent their first son to combat.
Jess Gomez was drafted into the Army after Pearl Harbor was bombed, and served as a combat engineer with the 7th Division throughout the Pacific.
Angel was drafted in January 1945, and joined his brother in the Army, but was attached to the 63rd Infantry Regiment, 6th Division, and was sent to the Philippines almost immediately after the war ended in August 1945.
"I served in an occupational regiment after the war, so it wasn't as bad for me as it was for Jess," Angel Gomez said. "I was lucky, because I got to really see the Philippines and not have to worry about combat, but I know Jess had a harder time. He saw the war and was in combat."
Both Jess and Angel returned safely to their family in Somis when their service was done, and began working with their father at Southern Pacific Railroad.
I prayed a lot'
Genaro was the next to head to war.
He graduated from Oxnard High School in June 1950, and enlisted in the Army in August of that year.
"I knew I wasn't going to go to college, and I also knew they were going to draft me, so I figured I would beat them to it," he said.
After completing infantry training, Genaro was sent to combat in Korea.
"There's a lot I remember from the war, but a story I always share is about the can of beans that saved my friend's life," he said. "We had just gotten off a hill and were running when we came under fire. We hit the ground and then I heard my buddy yell that he had been hit and was bleeding. He said he felt something wet and he thought it was blood. When they stopped firing at us, I went to him and started taking his shirt off to check near his chest because that's where he said he was hit. When I looked closer, I saw it was a can of beans in his shirt pocket that had been hit and was dripping. The bullet was inside the can. It really did save his life."
Genaro said that it is the happier memories he prefers to talk about.
"I prayed a lot while I was there; I won't lie about that," he said. "I was scared, and when I think about it, I'd rather talk about the funny memories."
Genaro returned home and was discharged on July 31, 1953.
I was already done'
The next to go was Alvino.
"I served in Korea, but not in combat," Alvino said.
The fourth oldest of the eight brothers enlisted in the Air Force in June 1951, and served as an aviation mechanic in Korea from February 1953 until the end of the war in July 1953.
"I worked on the planes heading to combat and made sure they were in good shape and fueled up," he said.
Alvino was discharged in June 1955. His duty in the Air Force was followed by his brother, Chon, who enlisted in September 1956, and served as an Airman 3rd Class during peacetime in Japan until he was discharged in 1958.
Johnny Gomez also enlisted in the service in 1956 but chose the Army. He was stationed at Fort Ord, Fort Carson, Colo., and Fort Lewis, Wash., before completing his service in Van Nuys in March 1960.
The youngest two brothers, Joe and Manuel, were the last to go.
Joe was drafted into the Army in October 1963, and was sent to Germany. Manuel enlisted in the Army in August 1962, and was also sent to Germany.
"We never served in the same part of Germany," Manuel recalled of his and Joe's service in the Army. "But there was a time when we were able to meet up and spend some time together, which was nice."
Both Joe and Manuel were discharged from the service in 1965.
"It wasn't long before the Vietnam War," Joe said. "When that started, I was so thankful I was already done."
Annual reunion planned
Most of the eight brothers returned and worked for a short time on the railroad with their father before going on to pursue other careers. Angel was the only son to stay with Southern Pacific Railroad.
Jess went to college at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, and became a mechanical engineer. Genaro worked for Lockheed Martin before relocating to Chase Brothers dairy. Alvino worked for General Motors for 34 years, and Chon served as a California Highway Patrol officer near San Diego.
Johnny continues to work for Naval Base Ventura County at Port Hueneme. Joe worked for the U.S. Postal Service in Port Hueneme for 39 years, and Manuel worked as a truck driver before his retirement.
Each year, Genaro and his wife, Virginia, plan a reunion for the family. It is a chance for the eight brothers and their sister to come together again.
"We are all kind of spread out, and even for those of us still nearby it's hard to get together with busy schedules," Genaro said. "But we try to as much as we can."
What I am most proud of'
When they do get together, they each enjoy old stories of their time in the service, but quickly move on to family updates and everyday conversation.
"I think it is pretty spectacular that we all served in the military at some point," Manuel said. "It wasn't planned that way, it just happened. But I think we are all proud of it."
When they think back on their service, all of the brothers agree that they wouldn't have had any success without their parents.
"My mom was very religious and prayed every time a son left, whether it was during a war or not," Angel said. "She had a statue of the Virgin Mary on her table, and I remember seeing it turned toward the wall every time one of us left. It was hard for her to see us go. My parents did a lot for us to give us a better life than they had. That is what I am most proud of."

AMES, Iowa -- Hurricane Katrina's attack on the southeastern United States is having an impact on the grain prices and delivery in Iowa, according to Robert Wisner, Iowa State University Extension economist.
New Orleans Grain Facilities"It may take a week or more to get full assessment of the impact of Katrina on export elevators. One problem is the loss of electric power. Another is great difficulty in getting employees in and out of the area," said Wisner.
He says railroad shipments into the port facilities are embargoed. As of the afternoon of Aug. 30, some barges were reported missing and many others were tied up near Memphis.
"So far, we have not seen any reports of serious structural damage to elevators in the New Orleans area and there are no reports of sunken barges blocking the channel. Reports on Sept. 2 indicated some elevators in the area are ready to operate as soon as ocean vessels come upstream," he added.
"Reliable reports indicate the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has checked the river channel in the New Orleans area and has found no serious damage," he said
"The eastern Iowa river market bids (as of the morning of Sept. 2) are reflecting basis levels of 34 under for current delivery and 23 under December for October/November delivery," said Wisner. "Soybeans are showing a 30 under basis for current delivery and 37 under November for October delivery. Both the corn and soybean basis are substantially more depressed than in the last few years. Basis is the difference between local prices and the futures market."
Recently, New Orleans area ports were handling about 68 percent of the nation's corn exports, 80 percent of its soybean exports, and 27 percent of the U.S. wheat exports according to Wisner. He says their annual shares of corn and soybean exports would be somewhat less because the upper Mississippi River is closed to navigation during the winter. Other areas that can handle some additional volume include the Houston-Galveston ports, the Pacific Northwest, the south Atlantic and the Great Lakes. Other exports go by rail to Mexico and Canada.
Wisner said river shipping problems will complicate the job of moving grain out of the western Corn Belt to free up storage space for the upcoming harvest, especially in central and northern Iowa. He added that part but not all of the lost export capacity can be offset by re-routing grain to the Pacific Northwest, Houston, the Great Lakes and Atlantic ports.
Hurricane Katrina and Soybean CropsHeavy rains from Katrina occurred some distance into Mississippi, eastern Louisiana, and parts of Louisiana, as well as in western Tennessee and Kentucky.
"If half of the unharvested soybean crop in the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida and South Carolina were lost, U.S. soybean production would be reduced by about 1.4 percent," said Wisner. He says that is assuming no increase or decrease in the soybean crop north of those states.
"With the usual relationship between changes in supplies and changes in price, that would boost the season average price by about 3.5 percent," he said. "That in turn would translate into an expected rise of about 20 cents per bushel in the marketing year average Iowa soybean price. Losing half of the crop in that area would substantially exceed past experiences with this kind of storm."
Rain as far north as the eastern Corn Belt may have a slight positive effect on pod filling, but could have caused some damage in parts of Tennessee and Kentucky. These two states in the August crop report were forecast to produce 3.5 percent of U.S. production (98 million bushels).

Recent reviews:
March 23, 2014 - These earrings are very well made & have the most beautiful hue of turquoise. The unique silver designs that are on the top and bottom of these earrings really makes the turquoise stand out. I love turquoise and so happen to own a number of pieces of jewelry. What I love most about turquoise is that no two stones are the same. The color, texture, & "natures" imperfections are what make these stones so unique. I am glad that the material of the french hooks is surgical steel. It is apparent that the designer Cheryl Sirkus is not cutting any corners. Impressive. I recommend these earrings. They are a must have.
March 9, 2014 - These are wonderful earrings. I live in the American Southwest and have many sterling silver jewelry items. The quality of these earrings is excellent and they go with so many of my clothes and the jewelry I have. Thanks again for offering an excellent piece of jewelry at such an incredibly low price.
January 10, 2014 - I gave these earrings as a present. She was happy with the earrings, and I was surprised at the quality considering the low price.
June 6, 2013 - These are beautiful earrings and look exactly like they are pictured. The silver adornment makes them stand out and they go with many different colored apparel items. I sometimes like to use them in contrast to my tops. They work well that way as well. These earrings compliment just about anything you wear with them. Good bargain, very nice. You'll love them!
April 23, 2013 - Purchased these earrings in March 2013. They are exactly as pictured, The stones are light weight, the design is simple and the french hooks are just the right length. They were reasonably priced plus contributing to a very worthy program. Arrived quickly and were well packaged. Will look for other pieces by Cheryl Sirkus on this site.
Artisan: Sierra Sonoma
In her studio set amidst the rolling hills and endless stretches of green vines in Sonoma Valley, long considered California's premier wine country, artist Cheryl Sirkus creates the pieces for her Sierra Sonoma jewelry line. Her pieces shine like reflections of the inspiration she gathers from the natural, subtle beauty of the region.
"This is truly an inspirational place to live and design," Cheryl says. Starting by sketching out ideas, she mindfully creates pieces to capture elegance and femininity in understated tones, selecting semi-precious stones and pearls to enhance the effect. "Simplicity and subtle designs are really my forte. I think the design and color should speak for itself."
