To Jeremy:
Is this the wall that sits just below the southeast corner of the Cox Hollow Campground? I am thinking about a place that I have been a few times to. Lead a hard crack route on the right side of the wall- it had terrible gear (but gear barely) and a meat grinder (back of the hand) jam near the bottom just before pulling up into what seemed like hard 5.11 pulls. There was an easier 5.8ish 5.9ish route on far left that was leadable as well. I never gave the center of the wall much notice so I am confused as to whether this is the same place. I got there by parking at the picnic area along side Cox Hollow lake (past the boat landing) and then walking along the base (right to left) of the large crappy SS wall that faces the lake. I remember seeing the campground up above the wall and looking down at the road below?? Just wondering?

You are correct sir. On top of the bluff is a chainlink fence and the campground is pretty much right there. There are some easier lines to the left as well. Neat little place to shred the skin on your tips...

There are two curves in the road. To ease confusion park at the boat landing and walk past the bathrooms and straight up the hill.
Another line or two besides what is already listed is definitely possible here. Cleaning needed.

|Several years ago I climbed (TR) something on this wall that was pretty moderate. Probably 5.9-5.10+. So there's something here for the lesser amongst us.

We travel to New Orleans regularly twice a year, but it's always spring and fall. I'd like to go to the Red Dress Run in August, but am thinking it'll be hotter than Hades. I'm pretty sure you all will agree with me, but if anybody wants to throw in a, "You'll be fine if you just sit on your balcony and watch everybody go by. Go ahead and go!" I'd appreciate it.

New Orleans in August?
Report Abuse
You know what the weather will be. Stay hydrated and think cool thoughts!
Report Abuse
I have been there in July and August, and 4 words describe it.
Frigging hot and sweaty.
And very uncomfortable and hard to breathe due to high humidity. Thinking cool tho just will not help in that kind of oppressive heat.
Sorry, but it is reality.
Report Abuse
Way too hot - you could;t pay me to go.
Report Abuse
Po*p - I pretty much knew that was what I was going to hear but, just in case, couldn't resist asking. Thanks, folks.
Report Abuse
I visited NO many times for pleasure, like you in the spring and fall.
Unlike nytraveler, they did pay me to go to NO in August. In retrospect, she was right.
Report Abuse
Until a couple of years ago, New Orleans in July was the hottest place I'd ever been in my life. Then I went to Luxor in August. But New Orleans in summer is still no. 2!
Report Abuse
Average high in the 90s, average low of 75 so no relief whatsoever from the heat/humidity. Pray for a thunderstorm to roll through and give you a break from the heat.
I lived in Gulfport, MS for 2 summers, same temps/humidity. We certainly didn't sit indoors all summer. Do as much as possible in the morning before it gets too hot, stay out of the sun as much as possible later in the day and dress appropriately.
Sit on your balcony in the shade (preferably get a fan blowing on you), have a cold drink and enjoy.
Report Abuse
The room at our hotel faces Bourbon Street and has a covered balcony, so we can easily be out of the sun and watch the festivities on the street. Dang, I really want to go, but........
Report Abuse
Just go if you want to. When it gets too hot outside, head inside for a cold one.
Report Abuse
Work the shade. When out for a walk in the morning, make sure you stay on the shady side of the street. Seriously, cross the street when you have to to stay in the shade. It is amazing how much that helps.
Relax indoors, eat, nap, casino, museum, swim in the afternoon,and head back out in the evening.
If you get caught in an afternoon thunderstorm, just stand in the street and get soaked to the skin. You'll look like a fool, but you won't be the only one and it feels good!
Report Abuse
Thanks everybody - I'm thinking it's just going to be a last minute decision either way, but how can you go wrong in New Orleans?!
Report Abuse
I have been to New Orleans three times in my life and it has always been in August so I don't know any better.
There is the aquarium and museums to retreat to,air conditioned bars and restaurants abound.The thunderstorms are beautiful and cooling.
Take a ride on a riverboat,drop into a casino,enjoy the hotel pool.
Things really happen after sundown anyway.
Report Abuse
BlackandGold has some great suggestions for dealing with the heat, especially the part about walking on the shady side of the street. It really does make a difference! We have been to New Orleans once during August. It was hot, but we didn't find it unbearable, but it's pretty warm and humid in KY in July and August, so we may have been partially acclimated. We did outside things in the morning, spent the afternoons touring museums or shopping, and when we got too hot, we ducked into the air conditioning. Drink lots of water, be careful with libations (they can dehydrate you!), and have fun.
Report Abuse
You can easily go wrong! After having been to NO nearly every year for decades, we had to go twice in August for business. I've been in Las Vegas when it was 114, but those two trips to NO were the most miserable (weather-wise) I've ever been. It's not just the heat, but the combo of heat and humidity. I would NEVER go again in August or September unless I had to.
Report Abuse
We lived there for about 6 years, and in those circumstances, you do get used to the heat and humidity. But then we moved away and several years later returned in the summer for a brief visit. We were coming from Dallas, not known for cool summers, so you'd think we wouldn't have been too badly bothered. Wrong. It's the hottest I have ever felt, except perhaps for that 113 ° day in August in Phoenix.
Report Abuse
Yes, it is hot, but those of us from NO somehow manage just fine.
As others have said - stay hydrated, have a good hat, take advantage of shade/AC as much as possible, head up to the river levee for a breeze, and enjoy the early mornings and evenings. Oh - and be sure to have a nice cold snowball (spearmint is my favorite)!
And when you think you can't take it anymore - think about being 9 months pregnant in the NO August heat!! (Been there, done that)
Report Abuse
OO, I am with you. The times I went to NO in July and August, I lived at that time in Houston, which is very hot and humid in the summers. But New Orleans was worse. The humidity was opressive, I found it difficult to breathe and I had no chronic health issues and was in good shape.
Ling there and vacatining there in August are two different things. When you live there you are forced to deal w/that oppressive heat and humidity in summer. AS visitor, you have th eoptin to go at a different time, and if not to go somewhere else and leave the NO trip for a better weather period.
I am heading to the Jazz and Heritage Festival for a long weeekend with a friend in April and can't wait. I love NO. But late April is the latest I will go there, until next Oct., when I will be going back again.
Report Abuse
The OP is looking to go for a particular event that takes place in August. So, my recommendation is to go and have fun. Just be prepped to deal with the heat.
Report Abuse
We have been in NO in August many times, and of course it's hot.
I guess that, since we live in Alabama, we are somewhat accustomed to heat and humidity, but to us, a trip to New Orleans is worth it!
Make good use of the pool and cold drinks!
Have fun!
Report Abuse
Bring your shade with you by carrying a light colored umbrella, which comes in handy when you get the daily afternoon downpours. Go in and out of buildings. As insanely hot and humid as outdoor New Orleans is, the interiors are insanely frigid with air conditioning.
I was there in June a couple of years ago and felt almost mad sometimes with the heat. Not for me. I cannot even imagine what August is like. I love the city but I think I'll only be back for Christmas.
Report Abuse
LOL - Your replies are pretty much running 50-50! I still want to see the Red Dress Run, and know we'll be pretty much stationary under our covered balcony, but DH is certainly starting to grumble about being too hot and humid. Since we go yearly in late September, we do have an idea how hot it can be, but was wondering what folks that have dealt with it in the past thought about going back during "definite" summer months. Thanks so much for all the help and ideas - I haven't got a clue what to do now... *smile*

Just DO it!!!! hehehehe
We went last July and it was veeeeeeeery hot, but we still had fun, fun, fun!!

iceeu2 - You're still one of my favorite Fodorites!!
Report Abuse
I have lived in New Orleans all of my life and agree with everything everyone is saying about how hot it is in August. I will never get use to it. With that being said, you just have to prepare yourself. I have purchased several things for Coolibar, a website that sells things to keep you cool. I have the titanium umbrella and it really works, though I don't use it often because I stay out of the sun completely. Also, they sell neck bandanas that can be soaked in cold water and will stay cool for a while. I get them at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Also, get a personal travel fan (one witha sprayer is even better) The one online at Magellans is a good quality and has two speeds.

A relatively minor hazardous material spill caused some problems with morning rush-hour traffic Monday morning on Amnicola Highway.
Shortly before 9 a.m., a tanker truck carrying a 50 percent solution of caustic soda was making a turn onto Amnicola Highway in front of the main entrance to Chattanooga State, when about 20 gallons of the caustic solution sloshed out. Apparently, someone forgot to close a hatch on top of the tanker.
The tanker truck did not get very far away before the spill was discovered. The Chattanooga Fire Department and Chattanooga police were called to the scene. Once the product was identified, the decision was made to close Amnicola Highway in front of Chattanooga State in both directions and re-route traffic while the spill was cleaned up. No injuries were reported and haz-mat technicians say the spill did not present any threat to the public.
Due to the spill, all traffic entering and exiting the Chattanooga State campus was redirected to the West entrance in front of the CBIH building or the entrance/exit by the dam.

My second time in Frasers in 6 years, big improvement and great location.
by A verified traveler from Pasadena, CA
Great location but room location in dark basementPosted Jul 5, 2015
Pros: Location is great, 3 tube lines come about a block from the hotel, including a tube line directly to Heathrow. Room had a washer/dryer combo machine
Cons: Clean up that smell. Also, when I raised the issue of the smell and the workmen with the front desk, there wasn't any concern shown.
Location: Location is near Museum of Natural History, can walk to Harrods.
Big Pluses: Great location, convenient to Tube, safe, excellent supermarkets close by and quick casual places to eat nearby, clean apartment, comfortable sized space, fully stocked kitchen Big Negatives: Our apartment was located in the damp, dark lower level, basically in the basement. This wouldn't be so bad if it didn't reek of mildew and dampness as soon as you walk down the stairs into the lower level. Rather depressing to be down in the basement as well, there are windows but not much natural light in the apartment. Overall, I would not stay here again because I didn't want to stay in the apartment much due to the dark mood and the smell. Also, not the hotel's fault, but workmen started on the street hammering away and talking loudly beginning promptly at 8 am in the morning (weekdays) and woke us all up. Service is polite but the workers don't seem well-trained. When I mildly brought up the smell in the lower level, the guy at the front desk kind of cringed but pretended to now know what I was talking about. Even though the hotel has a fan blowing in the hallway trying to deal with the smell. I was pretty sure he was trying to avoid me. And when I mentioned the workmen, they just shrug their shoulders and casually say sorry. I don't know that they could have done anything about the workmen, but perhaps a sincere apology would have been appreciated or even a fake attempt to say they'd try to look into it. For the price, not worth it.

Pros: Room facilities
Cons: Staff interractive skills and better breakfast.
Location: Location is not bad at all.
I have stay with Frasers in Sydney, Australia for over 20 times and they are fantastic place to stay, so this is why i choose Frasers. Room itself is ok but room is locared below ground floor! Breakfast was not much choice. Staff at reception for check out - he was not interested for how we enjoyed/ not enjoyed.

Fraser SuitesPosted Jun 23, 2015
Pros: I like the position of this hotel as it is in an area of London that I am very familiar with.
Cons: Maybe a couple of tower rails in the bathroom.
Location: The location is excellent. You can walk to The Royal Albert Hall, Kensington High Street (shopping), the museums, Harrods. Gloucester Rd tube.
Always love staying at Fraser Suites. For me it offers everything I need in London.

Nice StayPosted Mar 31, 2015
Very nice experience. Clean, well maintained, and the staff was very friendly. Only downside to the stay was a truck took out the cable right at the end of the Notre Dame/Kentucky basketball game but that wasn't the Motels fault.

Nice Hotel Close to InterstatePosted Mar 21, 2015
Really enjoyed staying here. The staff was extremely helpful and nice. We arrived after 8:00 and had not had dinner that evening. While checking in I mentioned it to the lady at the front desk. She immediately made an excellent recommendation and told me exactly how to get there. Once we checked in, our room was extremely clean, quiet and comfortable. Overall, it was an excellent stay.

Posted Oct 8, 2014
Nice hotel but lots of beetle bugs and crickets. Ask to stay on second floor. Bugs do get inside your room due to open space between corner of door not being sealed off. Hotel says it is due to excessive rainfall but we were here in May and had the same problem. This time they sprayed excessively outside and the smell was excessive in the room :( Nice breakfast. Dinner at La Familia was good. We prefer to stay in Boerne instead more restaurant choices.

Great place to stopPosted Jul 12, 2014
This was a stop on our way to Carlsbad NM. The hotel is fairly new (7 years) and despite how full they always seem to be it is still a nice comfortable place to stay. The staff directed us to places to eat in town and helped us in any way they could. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. It was also nice to have access to a hot breakfast in the morning before continuing on our trip.

A quiet night in Junction, TXPosted Mar 12, 2014
Pros: The room was very quiet and comfortable.
Cons: Internet service was awful.
Location: Not applicable. We were halfway to a funeral.
Very quiet and comfortable. A new (to us) and pretty bird was in the tree as we arrived. It held still for pictures by my wife. Mi Familia restaurant in town is pretty good. One complaint was Internet service. It was terrible. The desk had posted a sign at the desk saying there were problems with Internet Explorer but I had problems with Google Chrome. Being so far from home, I was hoping for a fast and secure connection.

Recent International Drive Area (Disney - SeaWorld) reviews
"Our family enjoyed the condo at Vista Cay Resort. It is the next building from the clubhouse and pool. Off the porch you can see the Orlando Eye which is lit up at night. The condo is located just minutes from Sea World and Aquatica and about 10 minutes from Universal Studios and City Walk. I think it is about 15 minutes to Downtown Disney. There are many restaurants and attractions on International St. which the condo backs up to. It is a short drive anywhere. It is right by the convention center if you have events there. We cooked breakfast at the condo everyday and there were Teflon pans and cookware for this. There is a Publix and Walgreen at the condo complex and a Walmart just a few minutes away. Thanks again,"Guest: Tim H. Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: June 14, 2015View listing
"The property was very nice and there was a great atmosphere around the pool. We felt the location was very convenient. Grocery store and other amenities are adjacent to the property which made it really easy to get settled in the first day we arrived. Short (minutes) drive to get to Universal or Sea World. While we liked the fact that we were so close to the parks, we also realized how much we enjoyed just staying by the pool. We stayed in the Treetops Bungalow and found it to be very spacious and elegant. Definitely will stay here again. The property manager was very gracious and accommodating. Our flight left late causing us to miss our connection which put us in Orlando a day later. Connie checked the availability of the condo and then moved our reservation. After getting familiar with Orlando, we really like this location and will return."Guest: Scott Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: July 22, 2015View listing
"I had rented this place for 4 nights and whole experience was excellent. My family and i were visiting Orlando and this place is a beauty. Very close to walgreens, publix, dunkit donuts, subway,pizza etc. It felt like home and is very clsoe to the all the UNIVERSAL Parks. Diney Parks like Magic Kingdom etc were about a 15 mins drive which is not a big deal at all. The convention center was very good.The rooms were very spacious and clean with excellent interiors.The extra towels and the washer dryer helped us a lot. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and I would definitly come back to this place everytime i come to florida. Thank you Lee for making our stay very comfortable."Guest: vijayendhar s.

"Our family really enjoyed this Condo! The size of the Condo was just enough for our family of 4. This kids enjoyed the Cars themed 2nd bedroom and enjoyed having multiple TV's/DVD players throughout the Condo. The kitchen was adequately supplied with plates/cups etc. The washer was huge and the dryer dried fast. Great location to the pool and Disney attractions. To make this Condo even better, the Owner could update the pillows in the master bedroom. They were rather lumpy. Curtains over the master bedroom would also be a great addition as there is street lights coming into the bedroom all night long and the sun gets up early. Hard to sleep in a room full of light!"Guest: Traveler from Georgia Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: June 15, 2015View listing

Robert G. Rabil: The Battle for Aleppo
Robert G. Rabil served as a chief of emergency for the Red Cross in Lebanon during the country's civil war. He is associate professor of political science and the LLS Distinguished Professor of Current Events at Florida Atlantic University. He is the author of Syria, United States and The War on Terror in the Middle East and most recently Religion, National Identity and Confessional Politics in Lebanon: The Challenge of Islamism.
Notwithstanding the destruction and staggering loss of life as the raging battle for Syria's commercial capital of Aleppo continues, the battle for both the regime and the opposition has taken on a multidimensional strategic aspect. The battle for Aleppo confirms that the first phase of the Syrian civil war has ended, and the battle for consolidating sectarian cantonization has begun. And it has initiated a process with far-reaching implications for Syria and the region.
The descent of the Free Syrian Army on Aleppo is tactically and strategically motivated. The opposition has succeeded in taking the battle against the regime to the country's commercial hub, a city that not long ago was a bastion of support for the regime. Moreover, timing the battle for Aleppo on the heels of the deadly strike against the regime's senior echelons in the capital's national-security headquarters undoubtedly is meant to tear down the regime's psychological power over its loyalists and supporters.
Strategically, however, the battle is about reconnecting Aleppo and its environs to its historic hinterland in Turkey, much as Homs and Hama had been historically connected to Northern Lebanon. This reconnection enhances the influence of Turkey over the opposition, represented mainly by the Syrian National Council, and provides the Free Syrian Army with a strategic route for receiving armaments from Ankara. Heavy weaponry from Turkey reportedly has already begun to be transported to the rebels in Aleppo, signifying that the attack on the city was no less a Turkish than a rebel decision....

David Meerman Scott, a well-known marketing strategist, coined the term "newsjacking," which he describes as "the process by which you inject your ideas or angles into breaking news, in real-time, in order to generate media coverage for yourself or your business." The concept makes sense, and we all know that a great way to gain relevance online is by leveraging hot topics and news items that are beginning to trend-but it's a competitive, and fast-moving, field. How do content marketers stay on top of the relevant trends and news in their industries to ensure they're curating and communicating fresh, engaging content?

IPL spot-fixing: Dawood likely to be named in chargesheet
New Delhi: Delhi Police is likely to file a charge sheet in the Indian Premier League (IPL) spot fixing case on Monday naming underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, three Rajasthan Royals players and several others.
"More than 30 people, including Dawood Ibrahim and three Rajasthan Royals players -- S Sreesanth, Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan -- will be named in the charge sheet," said a senior Delhi police officer.
"The charge sheet will be filed on Monday," he said.
The three players of Rajasthan Royals along with 11 bookies, were arrested from Mumbai, Ahmedabad and Delhi during the IPL-6 in May. Another 15 people were arrested from different parts of the country later.
Twenty-one accused in the case, including Sreesanth and Chavan, have been granted bail by a court, while the others, including Chandila are in judicial custody.
Delhi Police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar had earlier said that he would like the charge sheet in the Spot-fixing case to be filed before he hangs up his boots. Kumar demits office on July 31.

HONG KONG, Aug. 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited ("Shanghai Petrochemical" or the "Company") (HKEx: 00338; SSE: 600688; NYSE: SHI) today announced the unaudited operating results of the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group") prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") for the six months ended 30 June, 2014 (the "Period").
According to IFRS, turnover for the Group for the Period reached RMB51,345 million, representing a decrease of 10.06% year-on-year. The Group recorded loss after income tax and non-controlling interests of RMB123.6 million (2013 interim: profit after tax and profit attributable to non-controlling interests of RMB473.2 million). Basic loss per share was RMB0.011 (2013 interim: basic earnings per share amounted to RMB0.044, based on a total number of 10.8 billion shares). The Board of Directors did not recommend the distribution of 2014 interim dividend (2013 interim: issuing 3.36 shares for every 10 shares to all shareholders by the premium of capital fund, and 1.64 shares for every 10 shares by surplus fund, as well as distributing cash dividend of RMB0.50 (VAT inclusive) for every 10 shares to all shareholders).
Mr. Wang Zhiqing, Chairman of Shanghai Petrochemical, said, "In the first half of 2014, the PRC economy gradually stabilised despite of a slowdown, maintaining stable growth within a reasonable range and signaling a further slowdown in economic growth. The PRC petrochemical market was impacted by weakened growth of market demand and a relatively rapid increase in production capacity. The petrochemical product market remained sluggish with further intensifying competition in the industry. Facing the challenging operating environment, the Group tackled the challenges head-on to maintain smooth operations of its plants. It thoroughly implemented system optimisation. The Group also continued its efforts in technological advancement and digitisation of information, further strengthening internal corporate management and cutting its losses by optimising production efficiency."
In the first half of 2014, the Group's net sales reached RMB46,690.8 million, representing a decrease of 10.49% year-on-year. Of this, net sales of synthetic fibres, resins and plastics, intermediate petrochemicals and petroleum products declined by 11.84%, 13.23%, 29.97% and 9.00% respectively. Net sales of trading of petrochemical products rose by 18.21%.
Under challenging economic conditions during the Period, the Group lowered crude oil processing volume in view of the market conditions, upstream and downstream material balance and plant maintenance, which reduced the total volume of goods produced by 12.84% year-on-year. During the Period, the Group processed 7,225,700 tons of crude oil (including 730,900 tons of crude oil processed on a sub-contract basis), representing a decrease of 6.25% year-on-year. Total production of refined oil products reached 4,251,200 tons, representing a decrease of 4.45% year-on-year. Of this, the output of gasoline was 1,514,700 tons, representing an increase of 9.63% year-on-year; output of diesel was 2,033,300 tons, representing a decrease of 19.15% year-on-year; and output of jet fuel was 703,200 tons, representing an increase of 27.16% year-on-year. The Group produced 404,700 tons of ethylene and 364,600 tons of paraxylene, representing a decrease of 15.46% and 20.20% year-on-year respectively. The Group also produced 487,900 tons of synthetic resins and plastic (excluding polyesters and polyvinyl alcohol), representing a decrease of 11.31% year-on-year; 361,700 tons of synthetic fibre monomers, representing a decrease of 19.34% year-on-year; 204,700 tons of synthetic fibre polymers, representing a decrease 22.70% year-on-year; and 116,900 tons of synthetic fibres, representing a decrease of 8.39% year-on-year. The Group's output-to-sales ratio and receivable recovery ratio were 100.54% and 100.00% respectively for the Period.
In the first half of 2014, global crude oil maintained the balance between supply and demand. International crude oil prices were volatile in an upward trend mainly due to the impact of the geopolitical situation. The average unit cost of crude oil (for the Group's own account) was RMB4,866.94 per ton, representing an increase of 0.28% year-on-year. The Group's cost of crude oil accounted for 68.38% of the total cost of sales.
During the Period, the Group continually enhanced its management of process technology for its plants while improving technical and economic indicators. The first phase of production plant maintenance for the year, with a focus on residual oil hydrogenation plants, was completed. The Group continued to tighten its management of specialised equipment, key units and gear transmission equipment, as well as anti-corrosion for equipment and management of heaters. The Group continued to leverage its competitive strengths in the integration of its refinery and petrochemical segments. Tapping fully on the high flexibility of its refinery plants, the Group increased the procurement and refining volume of low-grade crude oil and increased its focus on crude oil procurement, which contributed to lower crude oil cost. Refinery and petrochemical production were also optimised. The Group further strengthened refined oil product structure by lowering production of several lower-margin petrochemical products and boosting production of high-end gasoline. The Group enhanced the contribution margin tracing of the plants, and suspended production at some plants in phases while prioritising the production of more profitable and marketable products in line with market conditions. Through various innovative financing methods, the Group successfully implemented various offshore financing measures such as overseas agency payments and risk participation, lowering its capital costs. During the Period, China Jinshan Associated Trading Corporation, the Group's holding subsidiary, has established the Shanghai Jinshan Trading Corporation. in the Shanghai Free Trade Pilot Zone to further expand the Group's trading segment, increase its trading volume, expand its financing channels, and lower financing costs.
Looking ahead, Mr. Wang Zhiqing said, "In the second half of 2014, the global economy is expected to be slightly improved over the first half. With reforms and policy adjustments, the PRC economy is expected to be relatively stable. Given the stable economy and the rebound in demand in the PRC, the petrochemical industry is expected to undergo steady and moderate growth. International oil prices are expected to continue to fluctuate at a prevailing high level. Facing a challenging market environment, we will focus on improving the quality and efficiency of our development, and will continue to focus on safety and environmental protection as well as stable production. The Group will continue to consolidate its system optimisation, cost reductions and strict management, as it strives to seize the opportunities arising from the favorable market environment and to achieve a turnaround in its efficiency."
Shanghai Petrochemical is one of the largest petrochemical companies in China in terms of sales revenue, and was one of the first Chinese companies to complete a global securities offering. Located in the Jinshan District in southwest Shanghai, the Group is a highly-integrated petrochemicals enterprise which processes crude oil into a broad range of products such as synthetic fibres, resins and plastics, intermediate petrochemicals and petroleum products.

BACKYARD ALIENS Is Next Novel in Terry Persun's Neil and Mavra Sci-Fi Adventure Series
The latest novel in Terry Persun's Neil and Mavra Sci-Fi Adventure series, BACKYARD ALIENS, pitches the married couple against a government bent on analyzing a pair of aliens, even if the aliens die during the analysis.
After two young boys find a dinosaur egg near the housing development where they live and the specimen starts showing signs of life, the government quickly takes over with a full-force investigation. With a healthy mistrust of the local archaeologists, General Harkins calls on Mavra and Neil Altman to help in the government's investigation. Using her psychic abilities, Mavra attempts to read what's inside the egg-is it alive, dangerous, a bomb?
General Harkins doesn't believe in aliens and rejects Mavra's explanations and bring in more scientists for further analysis. While monitoring the statistics of the find, the scientists know nothing of the bio-acceleration chips inside each of a mated pair of aliens. Once the chips engage, the aliens' mental and physical growth accelerates until they hatch from their support pod (the egg). The aliens quickly excape.
With the government bent on capturing the aliens to study them, and Mavra feeling sympathetic to the aliens' plight, there ensues a push and pull relationship that eventually finds the aliens, along with Mavra and Neil, at Area 51. It looks bad for the aliens, but Mavra and Neil are now on their own mission-help the aliens escape the government facility.
Here's what best selling novelist Kay Kenyon said about REVISION 7: DNA, the first book in the series: "Time travel and conspiracies combine with sensational robotics in this science fiction thriller. Furiously fun. Terry Persun will keep you guessing and wanting more."
Terry Persun is an award winning, bestselling writer. He has worked as an engineer, an electronics technician, and an airborne navigation specialist. Using his extensive technical knowledge, Terry produces articles about the latest technology for trade journals. He writes fiction in many genres, but particularly enjoys writing science fiction because it allows him to blend his technical and creative writing skills. His utopian/dystopian novel CATHEDRAL OF DREAMS won a ForeWord Reviews Book of the Year Finalist Award, and his historical novel, SWEET SONG, won a Silver International IPPY Award. REVISION 7: DNA is the first novel in the Neil and Mavra Sci-Fi Adventure series. Site: www.TerryPersun.com

Mediafire Swaps "Pirate" Links for "Buy Now" Button
When Megaupload was shut down last year the actions of competing file-hosting services were watched closely by the press and copyright holders. Some concluded that other services were guilty by association, and Hollywood went as far as naming several other cyberlockers that should be shutdown next, including Mediafire. U.S. based Mediafire was shocked by this characterization and emphasized that it has always cooperated with rights holders. On top of that the company has also implemented several measures to ensure that its users play by the rules. A good example of this policy is Mediafire's proactive monitoring of unauthorized sharing. …

Meat industry players have agreed to put aside their differences and collaborate on a $65 million project to lift their game.
The Primary Industries Ministry has approved its $32.4m share of the programme and will join leading companies, two banks and sheep and beef farmers' industry-good body.
Ministry director-general Wayne McNee said the aim was to "ensure that red meat producers consistently have access to and are able to effectively use the best-available farm and business management practices".
They would do this by "addressing gaps in technology transfer and ensuring stronger co-ordination between organisations and individuals working with farmers".
The next step was to contract to the Government under its Primary Growth Partnership programme and to get farmers' support.
It was expected to begin rolling out the plan in the third quarter of this year.
The seven-year programme includes Affco, Alliance Group, Anzco Foods, ANZ Bank, Beef + Lamb New Zealand, Blue Sky Meats, Deloitte, Progressive Meats, Rabobank and Silver Fern Farms.
Other participants are welcome.
McNee said it was the "most comprehensive collaboration of its type ever seen in the red meat sector, and the opportunities are very exciting".
Steering group chairman Scott Champion, Beef + Lamb chief executive, said the
programme was built on the findings of 2010's Red Meat Sector Strategy.
It comprised several elements, including investigating how farmers preferred to receive and use new information and what drove their profitability, as well as benchmarking and integrating relevant databases. New tools, services and knowledge would be packaged and delivered in a range of ways by programme partners.
