'Doctor Who,' 'Game Of Thrones' Dominate Hugos
Neil Gaiman earns his fifth award at Chicon 7
By Juan Sanmiguel
"Doctor Who" continued its domination of the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation-Short Form by taking home an award for "The Doctor's Wife," which was written by Neil Gaiman and directed by Richard Clark.
But the British series was not alone. The entire first season of HBO's "Game of Thrones" took home the Best Dramatic Presentation-Long Form prize as Hugo Awards were presented at the 70th World Science Fiction Convention, Chicon 7, held in Chicago.
The win was Gaiman's fifth Hugo and his second in the "Dramatic Presentation" categories. The movie "Stardust," based on his graphic novel, won in 2008.
In his acceptance speech, Gaiman thanked Clark, the production team, the cast, Russell T. Davies, Steven Moffat, Verity Lambert (the first producer of the series in 1963), and Sydney Newman, who originally conceived of the series. Gaiman said "Doctor Who" celebrates love, hope and intellect over brawn. But he added that he's working on a new "Doctor Who" story, because why not? Only a madman would try to top it.
"Doctor's Wife" was one of three "Doctor Who" episodes nominated in the category, joining "The Girl Who Waited" and "A Good Man Goes to War." It also finished ahead of "Remedial Chaos Theory" from the NBC comedy "Community" as well as "The Drink Tank's" acceptance speech from last year's Hugo Award ceremony.
For "Game of Thrones," author George R.R. Martin and actor Ron Donachie accepted the Hugo. It is the first time a television series has won in Long Form, but it's not the first to be nominated. NBC's "Heroes" earned that distinction in 2008.
Martin praised the production crew on the HBO series, saying it's a very faithful adaptation of his books. His series beat out "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2" from Steve Kloves and David Yates; "Hugo" from John Logan and Martin Scorsese; "Captain America: The First Avenger" from Christopher Markus, Stephan McFeely and Joe Johnston; and "Source Code" from Ben Ripley and Duncan Jones.
Hugo added a new category this year, Best Fancast, which was won by SF Squeecast, hosted by Lynne M. Thomas, Seanan McGuire, Paul Cornell, Elizabeth Bear and Catherynne M. Valente.
Other winners include "Among Others" by Jo Walton for Best Novel, "The Man Who Bridged the Mist" by Kij Johnson for Best Novella; "Six Months, Three Days" by Charlie Jane Anders for Best Novelette; "The Paper Menagerie" by Ken Liu for Best Short Story; "The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, Third Edition" edited by John Clute, David Langford, Peter Nicholls and Graham Slight; "Digger" by Ursula Vernon for Best Graphic Story.
Also winning were Betsy Wollheim for Best Editor-Long Form, Sheila Williams for Best Editor-Short Form, John Picacio for Best Professional Artist, John C. Hines for Best Fan Writer, and a non-Hugo award for Lily Yu as the John W. Campbell winner for Best New Writer.
The Hugo Awards are presented by the World Science Fiction Society, and were first handed out in 1953. Nominees and later winners are selected among the paid members of the Society, including those who purchase tickets to the annual convention. Next year's WorldCon will take place in San Antonio, with 2014 heading to London. It will be the first WorldCon in the Texas city since 1997, but the first one to grace London since 1965.

EVP/COO and Director of Winemaking Jeff Meier savored this recipe when J. Lohr participated in an unprecedented competition, the National Pork Board's Celebrated Chefs Alumni Summit. This flavorful pork shoulder was the winning recipe from Celebrated Chefs Todd Downs and Robert Merrifield, which Jeff Meier prepared one holiday to the delight of our winery employees. The winning chefs contributed a $5,000 check made in their name to Sri Lanka Relief Fund for Matara, a tsunami relief fund started by 2003 Celebrated Chef Kumar Wickramasingha, a native of Sri Lanka. While the recipe uses a bottle of J. Lohr Estates Los Osos Merlot as a base for its braising liquid, it also pairs beautifully with the Merlot-based J. Lohr Cuvée POM.
Pork Shoulder:
- 2 quarts pork stock
- 1 bottle J. Lohr Estates Los Osos Merlot
- 2 cups tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cups commercially prepared raisin paste
- ½ cup fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2T garlic, chopped
- 1 Bay leaf
- 1 ½ lbs pork shoulder, boneless
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive Oil
Virginia Peanut, Peach, Golden Raisin & Mint Relish:
- 1 cup golden raisins
- ½ cup Sherry, warmed
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 peaches, diced
- 1 cup Virginia peanuts, toasted, chopped
- 2T green onions, sliced
- ½ T fresh mint, chopped
Gruyere Leek-Potato Gratin:
- 4 Idaho potatoes
- 5 cups whipping cream
- 3T garlic, chopped
- 1t dried mustard
- ½ t nutmeg
- 1/8 t Cayenne pepper
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1 leek, white and light green sections only, sliced
- 4 T butter
- 8 oz Gruyere cheese, grated
Cremini Mushroom Spinach & Red Onion Sauté:
- 4 oz bacon, diced
- 4 oz Cremini Mushrooms, quartered
- 1/2 red onion, julienned
- 8 oz fresh spinach
- ½ cup chives, chopped
Preheat oven to 350°.
Combine pork stock, merlot, tomatoes, raisin paste, rosemary, garlic, and bay leaf in a stockpot. Simmer over medium heat until mixture is reduced by half.
Meanwhile, cut pork into eight 3-ounce slices. Season with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan. Add the pork and brown it well.
Pour liquid mixture over the browned pork in the sauté pan (there will be a lot of liquid). Cover the pork with parchment, and seal the pan with foil. Transfer to the oven to braise for 2 hours or until fork-tender.
While the pork is braising, prepare the relish: Steep the raisins in sherry for 30 minutes. Drain, and discard the sherry.
Combine the brown sugar and vinegar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add peaches and simmer for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add the drained raisins, chopped peanuts, onion, and mint; mix well. Reserve at room temperature.
When pork is done, remove it from the oven and set it aside until serving time. Increase oven temperature to 400°.
Peel the potatoes and slice 1/8-inch thick. (Do not rinse.) Set aside.
In a large, heavy pot, bring cream to a boil. Add the garlic, dry mustard, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper and mix well. Add the sliced potatoes and simmer briskly until tender. Drain cream from potatoes and reserve.
In a sauté pan over medium-high heat, sauté the leeks in butter until tender. Set aside.
In a non-stick baking dish, spread the cooked potatoes in an even layer. Scatter the sautéed leeks evenly over potatoes, and top with the grated cheese. Pour the reserved cream over gratin, and bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
Prepare the spinach sauté: Render bacon in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and onions; sauté until tender. Add spinach, cook 1 minute to wilt, and remove from heat.
To Serve:
Place a mound of the spinach mixture in the center of a large plate. Cut the potatoes from the pan using a 3" round cutter. Top spinach with the potato round. Place 2 pieces of pork on the potatoes, and drizzle each plate with 1 ounce of the braising liquid. Top each serving with a generous spoonful of Peanut Relish. Sprinkle with chives. Serve.
Serves 4

Keep the part you cut off, as it will be needed for the belt strap!
Make sure to cut those two slits in the picture.
Step 5: First holes
Don't worry about messing up! If you punch an extra hole, you may as well use it when you have to sew it.

Several weeks ago, Microsoft begun its "Meet Your Match" Windows Phone challenge, which was an evolved version of the "Smoked by Windows Phone" challenge. Microsoft is now offering some stats on how well the Meet Your Match challenge has fared and it is quite impressive.
"A few weeks back we kicked off 'Meet Your Match', which is an informal head-to-head customer challenge of many popular smartphone features. It's a new take on 'Smoked by Windows Phone' and it shows people why a Windows Phone is more fun, more useful, and more personal that the phone they're currently using. So how's it going so far? In a word…AWESOME!," Microsoft stated in an official blog post. Microsoft has run more than 75,000 Meet Your Match challenges in various countries such as the United States, UK, France, and Germany. 88% of people who took the post-challenge survey mentioned that they found the Windows Phone to be a better match for them compared to what they already had. The Meet Your Match videos have also been viewed over 600,000 times on YouTube. Microsoft isnt done yet and will continue traveling to different areas to promote it's Windows Phone platform via these challenges.

29th August 2012 -- Electronic cigarettes do not appear to be bad for your heart, according to the first study to look at the effects of smoking e-cigarettes on heart function.
The battery powered devices simulate the effect of smoking by heating nicotine-containing liquid into vapour.
They can be helpful to smokers trying to kick the habit, says researcher Dr Konstantinos Farsalinos of the Onassis Cardiac Surgery Center in Athens, Greece.
"Considering the hazards associated with cigarette smoking, currently available data suggest that electronic cigarettes are far less harmful, and substituting tobacco with electronic cigarettes may be beneficial to health," he says.
Speaking here at the annual meeting of the European Society of Cardiology, Dr Farsalinos acknowledges that the study was short and small, only 22 people were studied immediately before and after using the devices.
Another small study shows that e-cigarettes may have short-term harmful effects on lung function, he says.
Many more people have to be studied for much longer before any firm conclusions can be made about the safety of electronic cigarettes, Dr Farsalinos says.
E-cigarettes satisfy both sides of addiction: the chemical craving for nicotine and "the psychological addiction that comes from having something in your hand, lighting it, and inhaling and exhaling it," he says. "Preliminary studies show this [two-pronged attack] helps people to quit."
Electronic cigarettes
Invented by a Chinese pharmacist in 2003, electronic cigarettes are now used by millions worldwide as an alternative to smoking. The devices are not regulated in the UK and the World Health Organisation has called for studies on their effects on human health.
In the new study, the researchers compared the heart function of 20 daily smokers before and after smoking one tobacco cigarette to that of 22 e-cigarette users before and after using the device for seven minutes. The people studied were healthy and varied in age from 25 to 45.
Heart function got worse in the tobacco smokers and their blood pressure and heart rate rose. People using e-cigarettes experienced only a slight elevation in blood pressure.
The e-cigarettes used in the study contained 11 milligrams per millilitre of nicotine in the liquid. That's a "moderate" amount, according to Dr Farsalinos, who says they can contain up to 23 milligrams per millilitre of nicotine.
Many laboratory analyses have shown electronic cigarettes do not contain carcinogens, he says. However, even in studies where formaldehyde and other carcinogens were found, the levels detected were 500 to 1,400 times less than the amount present in one tobacco cigarette, Dr Farsalinos says.
"You would have to use e-smokes for six to eight months to get the amount of chemical present in a single tobacco cigarette," he says.
The study has been welcomed by Amanda Sandford, research manager at Action on Smoking and Health. She tells us by email: "The results of this study are encouraging since smoking is a major cause of heart disease. Around one in five premature deaths from heart disease are linked to smoking and this toll could be substantially reduced if smokers switched to using less hazardous nicotine products.
"Clearly more research is needed but these initial findings suggest that e-cigarettes are likely to be a much safer option for smokers who find it difficult to quit their nicotine addiction."
Currently, e-cigarettes are subject to general consumer protection Laws and are not regulated as medical devices. The regulator MHRA is carrying out studies on the impact of regulation on public health and business and will make a decision on whether e-cigarettes and related products will be regulated in spring 2013.
These findings were presented at a medical conference. They should be considered preliminary, as they have not yet undergone the "peer review" process, in which outside experts scrutinise the data prior to publication in a medical journal.

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. - Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky maintains his innocence and tells a Pennsylvania newspaper he is "trying to learn from ... the struggle and circumstances" as he focuses on an appeal of his conviction on child sex abuse charges.
The (Wilkes-Barre) Citizens' Voice says Sandusky sent a note from his prison cell declining an interview, saying his attorneys have told him to stay quiet. The paper said Sandusky wrote that "there is much to learn" and that "nobody who covered the case and reported it has the time or took the time to study the allegations ... Justice and fairness were not a focus."
Sandusky is serving a sentence of 30 to 60 years in prison. He was convicted of abusing 10 boys.

Patty Carroll received her BFA in Graphic Design from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, and a Master of Science degree in photography from The Institute of Design, IIT in Chicago, studying fine art traditional photography with Aaron Siskind, Arthur Siegel, and Garry Winogrand, Since then, she has continuously taught photography at the university level. Beginning at a small American art school, The Aegean School of Fine Arts in Paros, Greece, and onto full-time faculty at Penn State University in 1973-74, the University of Michigan in 1974-76, and at the Institute of Design from 1977-1992. In England, she was Senior Tutor at the Royal College of Art in London and Tutor at London College of Printing from 1992-96. In Chicago, she has taught digital photography part-time at Columbia College until 2013, and is currently Adjunct Full Professor of Photography at The School of the Art Institute in Chicago.
Carroll has participated in many one-person and group exhibitions consistently since graduate school, mainly in traditional photographic exhibit spaces. Exhibitions include the large group exhibition entitled, "Elvis and Marilyn: 2 X Immortal," which featured a variety of artists using the imagery of Elvis Presley or Marilyn Monroe in their work. It opened at the ICA in Boston in 1994, and travelled throughout the USA, and then to Japan until 1998. One-person exhibitions of her photographs of Elvis Impersonators have been at Memphis College of Art in 1997, and in 1999, "Elvis?" at the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago.
Carroll has exhibited her "Anonymous Women" series in various museums and galleries world wide, including at White Box Museum in Beijing, Northern Illinois University Museum, DeKalb, IL, the Cultural Center of Chicago, and Martha Schneider Gallery, Chicago, IL. Images from the series have won numerous awarda and been feature in many online blogs such as Huffington Post, Feature Shoot, Rooms Magazine UK, among others. It has also been featured in several photography magazines such as the British Journal of Photography (BJP) and Domus, Israel. (Please see full CV for entire listings of related blogs and interviews.)
Her exhibition titled, "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" of night photographs was held at the Royal Photographic Society in Bath, England in April, 1996. This work has been shown in numerous gallery exhibitions; for example, in 1999 at Carol Ehlers Gallery in Chicago as a one-person exhibit, "Longings in the Night." Her photographic portrait series "Spirited Visions," was a collaborative project with Chicago artists, resulting in an exhibition and book of the same title, which toured for 2 years throughout Illinois, sponsored by the Illinois Arts Council.
Her photographs have been purchased by the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Museum of Contemporary Photography, and MOMA, as well as many private collectors. Her photographs have been published in various books as part of larger projects, such as Women Photographers (Abrams), and Changing Chicago, (U of I Press.) Her collaboration with Victor Margolin resulted in the book, Culture is Everywhere, released in 2002 (Prestel.)
As a professional artist, Carroll has been Artist-in-Residence in various parts of the world; In 1998, Carroll was selected as one of the four American Associate Artists by the Atlantic Center for the Arts, to be in residence at the Akiyoshidai Arts Village in Yamaguchi, Japan. In 1999, Artist in Residence at Anderson Ranch Arts Center, in Snowmass, Colorado, and in 2005 at Texas A&M University., and is currently Artist-in-Residence at Columbia College, Chicago.
She was the recipient of an Artist Fellowship Grant from the Illinois Arts Council in 2003 for her digital "Faux Film Posters," which were shown at the Art Institute of Chicago in a one person exhibition titled," Dark and Deadly." This exhibit was featured as an interview on WBEZ, Chicago Public Radio program; "Hello Beautiful," in June 2004.
Her color photographic work documents subjects of popular culture such as Hot Dog stands, Elvis Tribute Artists, suburban lawns, and night photographs of low life places; motels, restaurants and bars. In 2012, Man Bites Dog: Hot Dog Culture in America was published by Rowman, Littlefield and is the product of a long collaboration with Bruce Kraig, culinary historian. The hot dog stand photographs have been exhibited at many venues and are on permanent display at the Chicago History Museum. Professors Carroll and Kraig have appeared in many news outlets and have given informative talks about hot dogs and the American culture of food.
In 2005, Her book Living the Life; The World of Elvis Tribute Artists was published by Verve Editions. Her newer digital photographic work combines her pop culture interests using vintage Film Noir, humor and typography, while incorporating the earlier images of seedy locations at night. The series is a humorous look at current culture employing the pastiche of vintage film posters. For examples of the night resort pictures, go to www.pattycarrollphotography.com.
Carroll was trained in traditional photography, and most of her earlier work is documentary in approach. However, interspersed with the documentation of the outer world, she has also worked fervently in the studio. A new personal photographic series is about collecting and the obsession with "things." The earlier images include a mounted 3-d object in a trompe l'oeil relationship with photographs. Again the work is humorous and draws upon a vintage world to comment on current popular culture by presenting precious and ordinary "collectible" objects. The "Constructed Ladies" are an elaborate series of still life images about domestic detritus. These pictures are a continuation of the earlier series of women hidden behind drapery or under domestic objects. In these series, the women become the objects; their identity fused with domestic objects.
Carroll has also curated several exhibitions, most importantly a large exhibition and catalogue of American still life photography titled, American Made: The New Still Life, sponsored by JACA (Japan Art and Culture Association,) and was shown in several Japanese museums in 1993. In 1998, she curated the photography exhibition, "The Constructed Self; Who Do You Think You Are?" commissioned by the Contemporary Arts Council in Chicago. A catalogue accompanied the exhibition on the theme of alternative identities. In 2000, she curated "E2K: Elvisions 2000" an exhibition of Elvis related folk and outsider art at Intuit, the Center for Outsider and Intuitive Art in Chicago.
Photographers observe, comment, criticize, and make fun of the worlds we live in by interacting with reality, and visibly displaying those perceptions in images. My training was as a straight, documentary photographer, but I stray back into the studio to make up fictional worlds.
I believe that every artist has a moment or time which became a defining point in their life view, and as we struggle to discover it, we repeat work trying to either recreate that moment, or possibly redefine it. As our inner and outer worlds collide, photography seems to be the most satisfying way of expressing that convergence.
Perhaps there are several moments that define a personality, and I look deeply for each one as it emerges. Artists often go to great lengths to find their soul place. Fortunately for me in this work, I only have to return to Park Ridge, either metaphorically or in actuality to find my defining moments and place.
Anonymous Women: Reconstructed
The new work, of constructed home spaces, includes arrays of objects from the home that have gone out of control and subsumed the woman's identity.
To purchase images from this series, please contact Spotte Art
Also, some works from this series as well as the Anonymous Women: Draped are available at OAC Gallery

Several weeks ago a friend who is struggling to find a way to get along with her 14 year old daughter asked me how I coped with raising a teenager. I told her that my daughter and I got along great during her teen years, and actually had fun together. A look of shock mixed with disbelieve came over her face. She asked, "So what is your secret?" Having never given much thought to the subject, I decided to ask my daughter…Continue

Clash of the classics at charterhouse car auction
Posted: March 20, 2014|
The Charterhouse classic car auction on Sunday 6th April looks set to be a clash of modern over classic, with vehicles dating from the 1920s through to the 1980s.
"The classic car and motorcycle market is particularly buoyant at present, and despite our last auction only being in February, we have amassed nearly 60 vehicles for our April auction," said Matthew Whitney.
"We have mopeds to motorcycles and Rolls Royce to vintage tractors. With estimates from just £300 up to £40,000 and conditions from barn stored projects through to concours cars there is something pretty much for everyone!"
Highlights of the auction are a 1925 Sunbeam 20/60. In an immaculate condition, having had £70,000 spent on restoration, this powerful 6 cylinder tourer is now estimated at £35,000-£40,000. Also from the same era, a 1927 Rolls Royce 20/25 is estimated at £28,000-£32,000. Again having had over £75,000 lavishly spent on it is a 1972 Ford Escort evocation rally car, now estimated at £32,000-£35,000.

Perhaps it's the feeling of injustice or being cheated when you have parked somewhere without knowing there were restrictions in place.
Thankfully, the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 has made it a criminal offence for private landowners such as supermarkets to clamp or tow a vehicle without lawful authority.
But while this law may have put paid to cowboy clampers, what about cowboy ticketers?
If you feel you've been unfairly ticketed while parking on private land such as a supermarket or fast food outlet car park, it pays to know the law.
Firstly, understand what type of parking ticket you have. There are three main types:
With a private parking company ticket, you are being issued with a charge, imposed under civil law, for breaching a contract or trespass to property.
So read signage carefully when you enter a private car park because it outlines the terms of the contract that you could well end up breaching if you are not careful.
The terms may include, for example, free parking being limited to two hours, and being charged for overstaying your welcome.
The most important factor to consider when appealing a private parking ticket is whether the company that is seeking to fine you is a member of the British Parking Association (BPA).
The BPA has a code of practice for control and enforcement of parking on private land and in unregulated car parks.
Motorists can contest private parking tickets with the independent body POPLA (Parking on Private Land Appeals), bearing in mind the following:
If you disagree with the charge, but the private parking ticket is from a non-BPA member you can refuse to pay and wait and see if court papers follow for breach of contract or trespass.
To enforce a ticket the private parking firm would have to take you to court.
And remember you haven't committed a criminal offence: rather, it's a contract dispute between you and the private parking firm.
If it were to take you to court it would be a civil matter, and it is by no means certain that the company would win.
I would recommend gathering as much evidence as you can to dispute the ticket.
The Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 protects the motorist against disproportionately high private parking ticket charges.
You should definitely challenge a ticket for say £200 if the car park had other empty spaces available at the time and you did not outstay your ticket for weeks!
The charge is supposed to make up the company's loss suffered by your breach of contract.
Typically, fines of in excess of £100 are unlikely to be upheld.
Watch out if a private parking ticket contains the words penalty charge notice, notice to owner, fixed penalty notice, or is otherwise made to look like a council or police-issued one.
If this is the case then the private parking company has committed an offence under Section 40(1) (d) of The Administration of Justice Act 1970.
This in itself would be good grounds to challenge the validity of the ticket.

Hello, Recently I had a letter come through my door saying I parked and stayed over the time given for this car park spot. I am new to the area and had no idea I was parking within this limited parking zone, but now I notice the huge signs as you enter but on the day I was looking for a car park spot. Anyways I'm. A bit confused as to where I stand, I have missed the discounted deadline so now am being charged £100 for being 25 mins over and it says at the top. Parking charge notice by a company named parking eye. It has a small nap logo in the top corner and this letter is basically threatening me and demanding this money or it will take me to court. I recently had a new baby and moved into a new house and have spent all my money and can't afford to pay this parking charge really. Do I just ignore it some more or get in touch and pay this fine and not eat for a week... Pretty much!

Do not pay any private parking ticket. It is largely a scam by 3rd party operators who 'police' a car park for the biggest cut of the action. They will get your details from the DVLA for £2 (also a scandal) If you scare easy they have made easy money. Trust me on this, as a service vehicle operator we get at least one a month. Bin them, they will send at least 4 computer sent letters each one more threatening, then go away looking for easier prey. It's shiftless lazy people looking for easy money...yorrs...beware

Astoundingly lame advice in so many ways. Firstly, if the company issuing the ticket is not a BPA member then you should IGNORE the ticket completely, because they have no way of finding out who you are. Only BPA members are allowed to access registered keeper details at DVLA. If you contact them they will know who you are, so DON'T. Unfair contract terms have nothing to do with claims for breach of contract. If the parking company claims that its ridiculous demands are contractually-agreed sums then you can fight back with unfair terms (and demand a VAT invoice, they will not want to issue one because they tell HMRC that their charges are damages, which are not subject to VAT). BUT if it claims its ridiculous demands are damages for breach of contract then you can demand they provide a breakdown of those damages (they can't, because it's all complete fabrication). POPLA routinely upholds appeals on the grounds that the company failed to prove that its damages claim represented a genuine loss - and no, a £100 charge is almost certain NOT to be upheld, and whether there were other spaces available in the car park or not is irrelevant. Even if the car park was full, the company has no way of proving that some other shopper would have spent £100 (or indeed anything at all). Another line of attack that regularly wins at POPLA is to question the company's right to enter into contracts or issue charges. The parking company is rarely the landowner and the question of what they are or are not empowered to do on the land is a murky area which they are usually reluctant to go into. Back to school Ms. Miller methinks.

I've been charged by ParkingEye for parking for over 2 hours at Oxford Services on the M40. The camera photographed my number plate going in, but failed to do so when I left 15 minutes later. I saw my wife off at Heathrow Terminal 5, and having been at the airport between 1200 and 1320, returned up the M40, stopping again at Oxford Services where I stopped for less than 10 minutes. The camera then caught me exiting at 1420. Parking Eye refuses to accept my story. My credit card company confirms the time of my exit from Terminal 5 as 1320. I am still dealing with Parking Eye; if they still refuse to accept my story, my next step will be to contact POPLA. I have no intention whatsoever of paying the £100 demanded (£60 if paid within 14 days).

We hear a lot about the Data Protection Act but who does it actually protect. I was in a Sainsburys Homebase car park a few days ago. I took the trouble to stop and look at the parking conditions. Apparently they have ANPR cameras placed at the entrance and exit of the car park and a computer flags up if you have overstayed your welcome. They then use your registration number to get details of your name and address from the DVLA. Surely this is a breach of the Data Protection Act. They don't even need to issue a parking ticket. You get notified by post. Part of the parking fine is the fee they have to pay to the DVLA to retrieve your details. If a ticket were issued and stuck to your windscreen at the time of the overstay at least a motorist would have the chance to agree to pay without the need for them having to spend money finding out who you are from the DVLA and therefore the fine could be reduced.

No need for any of the above , just ignore all there letters and never respond to them Nd after a few nasty threats they will never carry out they go away. They will never take you to court as they risk losing and people who pay up will suds them out !

With reference to PPCs: As far as I can interpret the law, the parking company has to establish that a contract exists between them and another person - the person who accepted the rules when parking the vehicle. Their first task must surely be to prove with whom they made that contract ie who was the driver of the vehicle at the time of parking. If they are just going to go for the registered keeper they can't prove that he/she entered into any contract with them. I have challenged on several occasions in this manner and in every case the Company has backed down.

More nonsense giving credence to the 'private parking' industry. Ignore them, there is no case to answer whether 'justified' or not. Do not enter in to any diaglouge with the company, the BPA nor the even less credible 'independent appeals process.' Throw any 'threat-o-grams' in the bin.

This one takes the biscuit - a company called CP Plus use PNCR camera's at motorway service stations owned by Roadchef and now issue fines for taking a rest from driving in the early hours of the morning. 6 weeks ago my partner and I were working in North Yorkshire on a job that required a 20 hour day and on the drive down the M1, we both felt exhausted and pulled in to Northampton Services (Southbound) at 00.09 for a break from driving. The car park was virtually empty, and we pulled in to a corner of the car park and fell asleep for about 4 hours, leaving the car park at 04.21, only to receive a Penalty Notice a week later. The Government and road safety campaigners drum home how dangerous it is to drive tired, and yet these parasites are profiteering from drivers who take a break. As the keeper of the vehicle, they sent me their Charge Notice (Discounted to £60.00), to which I informed them that I was not the driver of the vehicle. They replied with a Charge Notice Reminder (which increased the fine to £90.00) and a demand to provide the drivers data. I refused to provide CP Plus with the information about who the actual driver was, because, I believe that only the Police can request that information. I ignored their increasingly threatening correspondence and today received a Legal Action Pending notice with the sum having risen to £120.00 and of course the threat of how my 'credit rating may be effected in the future'. The best of it though is how CPPlus quotes the Protection of Freedom's Act 2012 on their correspondence as a justification for the fines. My understanding of the Act was that it countered the inappropriate collection and use of public data and provided the consumer with some protection against unscrupulous operators for clamping and removal. I can appreciate the notion that applying charges during daytime hours prevents cars being parked for lengthy periods during busy hours which may incur a loss of business to RoadChef. But the company can have incurred no financial loss through this incident which occurred in the early hours of the morning when the car park was empty. At what point did the Government, to whom motorists pay billions a year in road tax, fuel tax and insurance tax grant permission for motorway rest stops to become cash traps to parasitic companies such as CP Plus? More importantly do they intend to address the issue. Now the choice is clear for drivers, If you don't want to risk being fined, you must drive tired and risk killing yourself and others instead. I have no intention of paying this fine, I look forward to them taking the matter to court because I will be very happy for this case to become a matter of public interest. Motorway Service Stations should be a safe haven for motorists who require a break, not locations for private parking companies to prey on motorists. If any reader has connections with the tabloid press who may be interested in reporting this case, please let me know.

My wife got a Parking Eye 'ticket' some months ago at a local Supermarket. (Aldi or Lidl, can't remember). They sent 3 or 4 threatening letters saying if she didn't pay they would take her to court. She ignored them all and never heard any more from them. We wrote to the Head Office of the store concerned telling them we'd never shop there again, they appeared rather disinterested. Google 'Parking Eye' and you'll get a load of hits, all basically saying ignore the letters. Interestingly the letters we got were made out to resemble Official Police documents and I would suggest that is illegal. In any events throw them away, these cowboys are being paid by the store to 'police' the car park and are merely trying to make some extra money by scaring people. They should be hung.

I own a garage and we have a loan vehicle which was made available to a customer. The customer parked the vehicle in a B&Q car park all day and went into town shopping. A couple of weeks later the garage received a threatening demand for payment where the discount for early payment had already expired before we received the letter. I dug my heels in, warned the customer that they should pay but I was going to contest the parking charge. The defence of the garage was that no employee of mine or myself had driven the vehicle and therefore the debt was not that of the garage. (If it had been a police request for information that would have been handed over). I had the details of the driver and if the parking charge company could tell me what law had been broken and what lawful authority they were seeking to use to collect the bad debt then I would hand the details over. I couldn't just give them the details as the 1998 data protection act prevents me doing so. Needless to say the heavy on the phone was apoplectic saying he had never heard anything so ridiculous in his life and that the baliffs would be sent round. I told him I would put the kettle on. That was in 2009 and no sign yet !!

My advice is ignore it, you will get several threatening letters but they will go away. They cannot "Fine" only take you to court and prove a loss, they won't bother as they know they have little chance of proving a loss of £100 or whatever. These people are nothing more than parasites.

I received a parking notice from a private parking company. They wanted £45 paid before two weeks, I ignored it. I then received another one saying because it went unpaid they want £90. I ignored that also. Have not heard from them since. That was about two years ago. Dont enter into correspondece with these people they cant demand money from the registered owner they need to know who was driving and if you dont tell them. Remember you have not breached any law and have nothing to answer too. May i also add that i always pay to park be it a council run park or private its just that at that particular time i felt it was unjust.

We had a letter from CP Plus for staying over 2 hours at a M/way services. At first we were very alarmed and were about to pay, as we were scared the fine would go up or we'd be taken to court.. But I googled all about it & was SO glad I did; essentially what they issue is a "speculative invoice" NOT a parking fine. The ONLY people allowed by law to issue a parking fine are the police or the local council. These private companies try to scare you into paying up but they have NO legal leg to stand on, We took the advice of all the many blogs/posts we read and decided not to pay. In addition the advice is DO NOT attempt contact the company to dispute it as then they can persist. Be brave; stand firm and TOTALLY IGNORE all their letters. We followed this advice and the letters stopped.

I had a parking ticket sent to me after we came back from Cornwall with our Caravan. We stayed in a Motorway (M4 A34 junction) services overnight because I was knackered and so was my wife and daughter. This company wanted £60 for the pleasure of our company! (I thought service areas on motorways were for parking on if you are tired etc, not for petty attempts at extorting money from honest motorists!!) I decided not to pay. I received another about a month later, this time for double the original fine. I decided not to pay again. They threatened all sorts of legal actions. This is B******T!!! They will NOT take action because it would cost them millions to sue ALL motorists issued with tickets!! If you get a Parking ticket from any PRIVATE COMPANY, IGNORE it. (If you get one from the Police, pay it immediately!! Saves a lot of hassle. The same goes for a local council if you are bang to rights. If not, challenge it!! The signage and any lines on the road have to be 100% correct to be legal.) I`ve done this enough times to know they do not take action. (I was a truck driver for twenty years, I had enough parking tickets in that time) They rely on the fear factor and people not having the guts to refuse to pay. Whatever you do, DO NOT CONTACT them under ANY circumstances. The second `reminder` was the last time I heard from them. If they call you, say no comment and hang up. Do not give your name address or ANY personal details. These Private companies are not entitled to them. In short, admit NOTHING. They will give up and turn to the next one on the list! Believe me, I`ve been there. Car ownership is expensive enough without these leeches trying to extort more of your hard earned!! Good luck, its a minefield out there.

If I take a toothbrush from Boots, I may be intending to pay (contract) or intending not to (criminal offence), or I may have no intention. A contract is above all an agreement. I doubt that anyone can INFER my agreement to a sign in a supermarket car park. In my case, I see the sign and disagree as a matter of principle. Maybe people don't see the sign - so they don't agree, even if the sign is big and prominent. The car park companies are pretty close to blackmail - which is making unwarranted demands with menaces. They'll never take me alive, as they say.

Hi! A friend of the family got a letter through the post saying he was travelling at 61mph through average speed cameras ( If anyone knows of those particular ones? ) on a stretch of the A13 between roughly the Wennington Interchange & Goresbrook In Dagenham. He got asked to confirm this by the so-called Police & to Identify himself. What I would like to know Is, what would the punishment be, a fine & penalty points, or one of either, I'd be very grateful If someone out there can help as It's hardly the crime of the century Is It? Many more millions In the coffers, It's all wrong!!!

Hi Joseph, funny thing. We were at the same service station on the 13th July, went to Birmingham and stayed the night at families. The next day we visited more family and then headed back to London. We again stopped at Oxford Services. I have just got a ticket showing we entered on the 13 and exited on the 14th. Can't believe this is happening to more people. I was told it was a glitch. We were honest stayed less than and hour on each day but now being told we were there overnight. What a joke. It sounds like they want to print money.

I have read in numerous places that private parking tickets are not actually legally enforceable and that there is not 1 recorded court case of someone being taken to Court by a private parking company. I have had about 10 of these tickets in the past 5 years. 2 in Travel Lodge car parks, 5 in shopping centre parking areas, 1 in a hospital, 1 in a retail park and 1 in a 'private' road. The 1 in the retail park even took a picture of me behind the wheel (is that legal...I doubt it). I put all the tickets in the bin and did not answer any correspondence from any of them ever. Their tactics are.......if you don't pay, they threaten you with paying a bigger penalty. If you don't pay that, the next letter threatens legal action, after that they give up. I have never answered any of their letters ever and have never paid any of these rip-off tickets. If you get a ticket issued by the Police or a Traffic Warden or the Council, you will have to pay it. If it's a private parking company, take the ticket off your windscreen, rip it into 10 different pieces and do the same with al the other threatening misleading letters they send you. Never pay 1p to these robbers.

As many have said before me; ignore them, do not appeal and do not identify yourself to them. You must understand that this is a private company that have no more rights with regard to extracting payment from someone than you have. Understand who you are, what your rights are, and stop being afraid. We're talking about parking here (in a public car park), you are not a criminal, despite their efforts to make you believe otherwise.

(January 9, 2014) Courtney Williams led Texas A&M with 17 points as the Aggies climbed back in the final 40 seconds to beat No. 12 LSU 52-48 in Southeastern Conference play on Thursday night.
LSU went ahead for the first time in the second half at 36-34 with 8:19 left to play and led until Texas A&M's Jordan Jones made a layup to tie the game with 1:08 left to play. A jumper and two free throws later put the Aggies (12-4, 2-0) up by three with 17 seconds remaining. LSU cut A&M's lead to one point with 14 seconds to go after Raigyne Moncrief scored on an assist from Theresa Plaisance.
The Lady Tigers (12-3, 1-1) turned the ball over on their final possession.
Williams, A&M's leading scorer, fouled out with 5:28 to play.
Plaisance led the Lady Tigers with 16 points, and has scored 10-plus points in the last five games.

Atmospheric Structure
The atmosphere is often divided into layers to differentiate regions with different characteristics. The lowest layer is called the troposphere, from Greek words indicating a region of overturning. In this region the temperature generally decreases with altitude to a height called the tropopause. Above this altitude lies the stratosphere, where the temperature remains constant or increases with altitude up to the stratopause, at about 50 km altitude. The temperature again decreases in the overlying mesosphere up to the mesopause (~80 km), above which it rises in the thermosphere under the influence of solar radiation. The temperature structure in the stratosphere tends to suppress vertical motions, leading to more horizontal winds.
cal relatives (nitrogen dioxide, bromide, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde).
Until about 1964 it was thought that the Chapman (1930) scheme, based only on forms of oxygen, could explain the stratospheric abundance of ozone (Wayne 1985). Subsequently, improved laboratory measurements of reaction rate coefficients showed that this approach overestimated the amount of stratospheric ozone by a factor of 2. Further laboratory measurements showed that reactions involving compounds of hydrogen, chlorine, and bromine from natural sources could enter into catalytic cycles that would speed up the rate of ozone destruction, decreasing estimates of ozone amounts and bringing them into better agreement with ground-based observations.
A very alarming fact was that two of these gases had large and potentially rapidly increasing anthropogenic sources. A projected fleet of 500 commercial supersonic airplanes flying many hours each day was expected to inject large amounts of nitrogen oxides into the lower stratosphere, with deleterious effects (Crutzen 1970, Johnston 1971). Ultimately this fleet did not materialize. However, the techniques and models developed to address the former problem were ready to be applied to the next threat to the ozone layer: chlorine, which was being released in significant amounts by the photolysis of CFCs in the stratosphere. The chlorine released from CFCs was also predicted to cause a serious reduction in ozone (Cicerone et al. 1974, Molina and Rowland 1974).
These gases would reduce the amounts of stratospheric ozone below the natural background level, letting more UV radiation reach the surface, causing increased incidence of human skin cancer as well as damage to other biological processes. Subsequent studies showed that bromine, which has natural and anthropogenic sources, could also cause significant ozone depletion (Wofsy et al. 1975, Yung et al. 1980). Because of the dire nature of these predictions, it was crucial to develop a better understanding of this region of the atmosphere as quickly as possible.
To predict the ozone distribution and its changes in the stratosphere, it is also necessary to understand atmospheric motions. These are closely linked to radiative heating and cooling, which depends on the atmospheric composition, notably the ozone distribution (Craig 1965). Understanding this interacting system of chemistry dynamics, and radiation requires global observations, unavailable from ground-based measurements, as well as the synergistic use of models to incorporate this information and allow accurate and trustworthy predictions to be made.
The stratosphere was first identified in 1899, when balloonborne measurements showed that the atmospheric

Jacqueline Laurita is back to her crazy tweeting. Or she may have been doing it all along, I haven't been paying her any attention.
It seems to have all started last night when Ashlee posted the above picture on Instagram directed toward her Aunt Dina.
A blogger pointed it out to Dina who responded ," just a hint of why I stay away" Which was just enough to instigate the crazy. Rosie's crazy was the result of someone tweeting her that she got fired.

A handprint is the print of the palm of a hand. For example if paint is applied to the palm, and the hand is then pressed against a surface, a print of the hand will show.
A good spank on an unmarked and un-reddened bare bottom will also leave a red-pinkish handprint (also known as hand-mark, see the images on the right and below).

Music fans, rejoice! Pandora is finally available for Windows Phone 8 devices right now in the Windows Phone Store. It's been a long time coming, but the fact that it's complete and comes with a 1-year ad-free subscription makes up for the delay. There are some third-party apps in the Windows Phone Store that held us over until this official version was released.
Right now I'm rocking out to some music on my Nokia Lumia 920 with the Pandora for Windows Phone app. Check out this hands-on demo video I made this morning that gives you a quick rundown of just about all the features…
Pretty awesome, right? Here is a quick breakdown of the features you'll find:
- Pin individual stations to start screen
- Default WP music controls work just like music player
- When Kids Corner is activated explicit songs will automatically be filtered
- All the Pandora basics are there along with artist bio and the "don't play again" feature
- Buy songs you like from the Xbox Music Store
Pandora for WP8 Screenshots
The simplistic design of the app matches the Windows interface nicely. According to Asi Behar from the Pandora announcement:
"With its visually flat elements and unique panorama concept of navigation, designing for Windows Phone 8 while keeping our consistent Pandora aesthetic was an exciting challenge and we're thrilled with the results."
Indeed, the results are nice. Below is the official video created by Microsoft, showing off all of the Pandora app features…
If you're not familiar with Pandora it's an internet radio service that plays music based off of your likes. You can make multiple stations, add artists that interest you, and skip through tracks that you don't like.
Click here to download the app for the Windows Phone Store.
Thanks to @psychomania666 and Lenny for the tip!

Spring Rain
A Wonderful Time
The days grow shorter again. There is a chill in the wind that comes and goes, staying a little longer each time. The tender plants have already tasted their first bite of winter. The fireflies are gone, and the crickets subdued. Quietness has begun to fall over the land, except for the sound of leaves blowing in the wind, and nuts falling to the ground. What a wonderful time to discover love. The time of harvest, celebration, thankfulness, passing on, bringing in. A time of remembering, and a time for moving on. What more wonderful time could there be.
A Poem Just For
Are You Me
I love someone. Do you know what I mean?
Really love someone.
Are you a pilot, and did you ever wish that you could take the love of your life into the sky?
Are you a sailor, and ever wish that you could take the beautiful woman who loves you to sea?
Are you a mountain climber, and ever wish that you could take your other half to the point where the sky and the ground meet at it's highest point?
Do you drive a cab, and ever wish that you could carry some mystery woman who climbed into your back seat to the most romantic place on earth?
Then you are me.
What If you were presented with the possibility of a dream come true?
What if the sky seemed brighter than ever before?
What if the sea seemed more gentle than it ever had?
What if the mountain seemed but a slight rise in the ground against what you were feeling inside?
What if your fare smiled at you in the mirror in a way that filled you with confidence and wonder at the possibilities of what was to come?
Then you are me.
Do you think that the sky is too dark?
Do you believe that the sea is too angry?
Do you believe that the mountain is too high?
Do you believe that past partners have proven that the journey is too far for love to survive?
Then you are not me.
Do You Hear?
Do you hear me?
The messages I'm leaving.
How to really love each other.
How to give up who you are, to be who you want to be.
Do you hear me?
Sometimes I'm not sure.
I speak so quietly sometimes.
How do I make sure you hear all that I have to say?
Do you listen to yourself?
To what you're really feeling?
Are you actually paying attention?
You understand…that we are only passing through life?
Do you listen to the world around you,
As the seasons pass from one to another?
All there is to know about life lies there.
Right and wrong, light and darkness, side by side together.
Do you know the choice to make?
The choice between living and dying?
The choice that threatens to consume you,
Set against the choice that promises to raise you above who you are?
Autumn Comes
In these days before winter brings sleep to the northern hemisphere, before the frigid arctic winds begin nipping at our heels, before trees lay bare their limbs…I relish falls last sweet breath. The last flowers of summer splashing color where they can. The autumn hues a back drop to the final gasp. Prepare we must, they say to us, for the season that lies ahead.
A warm current whispers beneath an azure canopy… so clear, so bright… so beyond description. An occasional gust sails red, brown, and gold ships into the blue ocean of the sky, with their treasures of next years bounty. Riches beyond measure. Life passes from now to then. And so the seasons pass.
Though warm breezes caress us now, winters kiss may be on the next breath. Prepare, we must. Oh but it is so hard, while southern breezes tease us with the promises of a mild winter to come. Don't fall for it, the false hope of things to come. Be ready for what will be, and thankful if a fools dream comes true.
The life Given
The moon is sailing upon a sea of stars tonight,
Gliding from the past into the days ahead.
While millions lie dreaming of what might have been,
A few dream of what might be instead.
The moon doesn't sail upon a dead course through time,
Nor does it morn all the places it's been,
And that's not the way we should live our lives,
So let's go forward, and not back to when.
Surely we should make the best of it,
You know, the hand that we've been given
Be happy for the course that we've been set upon
Be thankful for the life we're given.
Stephen Worthington
Looking Back
I turned my head for an instant
And quickly looked into the past
Just long enough to remind myself
Of what lies there
Then looking back to the future I turned
To put those left behind memories
To proper use
That of getting on with life
Oh I have been tempted to go live there,
In the times before my mistakes.
But the past has it's pitfalls
You can become trapped there
Like a gnat in amber.
Stephen Worthington
A Flower in The Wilderness
She's a flower growing in the wilderness. One I've never touched. One I've never met. One that calls to me none the less.She's grown strong in the wind, rain and snow. She's flourished in the drought, ice and fire. She raises her petals to the sun and cries, "Thank you God."
She's a flower that I would not, could not ever pick. She's much too rare a life to treat that way. But I would lie down upon the earth and look into her face and smile, because she would recognize the flower that is me amongst the thorns and weeds.
I would rather bask in her glory for and instant than loose her beauty forever. I could grow beside her into winters cold evening, if God granted such. Then walk into the light together at the break of day, if such is to be. Yet I could pass this life with a smile upon my lips from having known her at all.
Stephen Worthington
The Firefly Ballet
Twilight descends upon the world. All becomes still, but for the twitter and chirps of the birds returning to roost. Their song fades slowly into the serenade of the night. The light of day drains into the western sky, as the darkness crawls from the eastern horizon. Soon they will meet in the apex of the heavens, darkness will consume the day, while magic floats upon a breeze, laced with the perfumes of the earth.
As day dissolves, tiny lights blossom into life. Glowing points sail 'bout the edges of the shadowed trees and shrubs, winking in a ballet to accompany the rising nocturnal music. Denizens of the darkness take their appointed stage, enchanting us with their spells, enticing us to sway with the ebb and flow of the life around us, as we are caught in the web of the makers arts
Stephen Worthington
Oh How Can We
Oh how I hear the cry from the Earth. How I feel the hunger that eats at us all. How do we find a way to make sure that future generations have the pleasure of our pain.
How do we assure that they survive to find themselves faced with problems as dire as ours.
How would it be, if we live long enough to pass on what we have learned. How do you feel about caring enough to worry. How can we leave a message to show them the way.
How can we even believe in a future, when we throw it away for convenience now.
Stephen Worthington
Twilight to Dawn
I've been thinking more about my mortality lately. Not in a morbid, depressing way, but just as part of the reality of my God given life.
This morning I watched the first light of the new day as it approached from the…not so far away, Atlantic. Like the petals of a flower, the rays spread to touch the clouds upon the distant horizon, transforming them into glowing billows of ivory whiteness, while those nearest me remained an ashy gray, still sleeping in twilight dreams. As the minutes passed, as the sun rose, but still lay hidden from my view, these too slowly caught fire from the rising glow.
Mornings first song birds began their announcement of the coming dawn. In the distance a rooster crowed, and the engines of man stirred the stillness with their hums and growls, as the twilight gave way to the new day, and the sun itself burst above the tops of the distant palm trees.
It was then that I began to wonder how many more glorious mornings are left to me on this mortal world, and how I will cherish each and every one, how I believe that those I love, who have passed beyond, stand smiling down upon me, with heads shaking, as if to say, "If you only knew what awaits you, if you keep to the path set before you, and steadfastly follow to it's end."
I can't help thinking though, that I may miss twilight's stillness and the rebirth of day in all it's glory.
Oh well, I shall enjoy each and every one I have left to me, and not fear the coming time when we will all be together again, beyond the rising sun.

A Poem I Wrote To My Fiancee Who Passed Away January Of 2009
Sometimes I Want To Cry
Sometimes I want to cry when I think about how much you love me, about how strongly you make me feel it.
Sometimes I want to cry when I think about how much I want to hold you, to feel you in my arms.
Sometimes I want to cry when I think of how long it took to find you, but how happy I am to have you in my life now.
Sometimes I want to cry, when I think of how you complete me , and how wonderful life is now, because together we are whole, and things are as the should be.
Sometimes I want to cry……..and then I do.
The Earth Knows
Black riches spill from the deep beneath the sea.
Those already thrashed by natures fury,
Tremble at the new destruction that approaches from the ocean which feeds Them.
Already lifeless harbingers drift to shore, from the heart of destruction.
I can watch, depressed at how our natural world is being ravaged.
Or I can watch the cloud tops, so bright, so white, so like billowing ships of the Air
Pristine with their burdens of life giving water,
And know that the Earth is not giving up so easily.
She lashes back at us, filled with the knowledge of how life works,
Even as she seeks to sooth our wounds, both hers and ours.
She knows that there are limits to how much damage can be inflicted upon the fragile shell that harbors us,
How much time is left to all life that sails upon this vessel,
If we don't find a better way.
I choose instead to add my prayers to hers, the Mother Earth.
I choose to send my prayers to the God who created all life on this drifting seed.
I choose to tell the story that she screams, pleads, and whispers to us.
I choose to believe that there is hope yet.
If only we listen.
Another Spring
We live on the edge of a galaxy, in a universe…perhaps never ending. And on a spaceship we travel a course set for us before we existed. Not one of us can change that course. But why would we. It is spring in the northern hemisphere of this rock, we call Earth, and the universe lies before us.
In so many words, so many languages, so many religions, in so many ages, God has said, be strong, be happy, be angry, be intelligent, be humble, be forgiving, be nuturing, be honest with yourself, and others. Be the recipient of the gift of knowledge that life gives you, with a renewed determination to continue to learn, to live, to give back, to believe in what is right, and wrong. Most important to believe in yourself.

HP LaserJet 4100 MFP Product Details
List Price at time of test $ 2,999.00. Now $1,999.00
Our test unit came with the optional duplex unit.
HP LaserJet 4101MFP (not tested)
Additional features: 1,100 sheet input capacity, duplex unit standard, and analog fax List Price: $2,499.00
Conclusions from Test:
General: Based on the LaserJet 4100 series, the unit was a typical set up of an HP printer. Copy, print and digital send quality were excellent. Digital send was straight forward. No server services needed to send to e-mail. Document feeding was easy on single sided documents. The scanner only scans one side at a time and requires some learning to work with two sided originals in any mode.
The reduction of $ 1,000 in the list price does make this a more attractive unit.
Negatives: The unit not scanning both sides of the page at once makes the unit much less efficient to use. Also, the inability to use tabloid size sheets may be a drawback to some. As with most units of this class, no binding options are available.
Available To:
- Faculty (currently appointed) and Staff
- Departments and Offices at UT Arlington
- Retirees
- Event-Based
- Students Admitted to UT Arlington

Was there a race?
- I had a strange dream last night.
- Tell me all about it.
- I went to see car racing.
- I didn't know you cared for cars.
- Before the race the cars were parked in a square fashion.
- What do you mean?
- There were equally many cars each column and row.
- You mean that there were a square numbers of cars?
- I guess you could put it like that.
- Then what?
- After the race they were parked in a rectangular shape with 5 more in each row than in the square lineup.
- How many were there in each column?
- You tell me!

Game of Thrones
Breaking Down the Game of Thrones Season 2, Episode 6 Preview: What Happens In the Episode?
The Game of Thrones cast and crew aren't exactly forthcoming with the spoilers, so even the most devoted book fans are left wondering what, precisely, will happen on each next new episode of the hit series.
Fortunately, we do have the previews to help us out. We've closely examined the preview for Season 2, Episode 6: "The Old Gods and the New" (which you can watch here). This is what we can glean about what's going down in Westeros and beyond this week:
Cat reaches Robb: Cat manages to get back to her son this week. That was quick!
News from Winterfell: Unfortunately, their reunion is marred by news from Winterfell; based on the tone of the man delivering the message, it's not good news. Is it ever, in Westeros? In another clip, Robb declares that "I'll take his head myself." Is he still talking about one of the Lannisters (Joffrey? Everyone wants that kid dead), or is that declaration related to what he learns about Winterfell?
Dany seeks out ships: Dany appears to be appealing to yet another Qarth bigwig in hopes of getting transport across the narrow sea. But it looks like her negotiations take a turn for the worse. Xaro counsels her that the path to power can't always be pure, and we see a brief scene of what looks like a lot of dead bodies in Qarth. Uh-oh...
Fight beyond the wall: It looks like Jon's scouting party does attack some Wildlings (presumably the watch party they were planning to take down). Arrows fly! It looks like Jon is going to cut someone's head off! Great excitement all around.
Myrcella sent away: Tyrion follows through on his plan to send Myrcella away from King's Landing, and in return Cersei threatens that she'll make sure he finds out what loss feels like one day. What a loving family.
Catch the episode on Sunday, May 6 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HBO.

VIENNA, Va., July 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CEL-SCI Corporation (NYSE Amex: CVM), a late stage cancer immunotherapy company, announced today that Dr. Eyal Talor, CEL-SCI's Senior Vice President of Research and Manufacturing, has been invited to present to the NIH, NCI's Clinical Center and the Center for Human Immunology, NERD (New Research and Development) Seminar Series, which will take place on Friday July 10, 2009 at the NIH's Clinical Center located at the main NIH campus, on 9000 Rockville Pike, Bethesda, MD. The title of Dr. Talor's presentation is: "Multikine: Cancer Immunotherapy; how to make immunotherapy for cancer work".
In the presentation, Dr. Talor will discuss Multikine's immunotherapy clinical program for cancer, the unique mechanism of action of Multikine (published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology) and the way Multikine imparts the patient's own immune response with the ability to mount a robust anti-tumor immune response against his/her tumor. Dr. Talor will also discuss the clinical findings from the different Multikine Phase II clinical trials which highlight the advantages that Multikine treatment provides for early disease management in newly diagnosed (treatment naive) patients with Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck. Early intervention in this disease is seen by many clinicians and researchers in the field as a key to improving disease outcome in these patients.
Dr. Talor will also discuss the objectives of the collaborative study between the NIH, NCI under a current Material Transfer Agreement. This work is aimed at elucidating the tumor microenvironment changes, at the molecular level, brought about by Multikine treatment of head and neck cancer patients. The CEL-SCI / NIH collaborative study will use samples collected from patients with a

The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), a government regulator, has filed a lawsuit against Morgan Stanley, Barclays, JPMorgan, Credit Suisse, Royal Bank of Scotland Group, and UBS for selling fraudulent mortgage-backed securities to credit unions. The sales of these securities amounted to $2.7 billion. Goldman Sachs, Wachovia, Wells Fargo, and Ally Securities also allegedly sold faulty securities according to one of the credit unions involved in the lawsuit.
Southwest and Members United corporate credit unions paid more than $416 million for the securities in question in the Morgan Stanley suit and more than $1.9 billion for securities sold by the other defendants.
The NCUA lawsuits filed in the Manhattan district court say the banks made misrepresentations in connection with the underwriting and subsequent sale of the mortgage-backed securities. NCUA's complaints also allege that the offering documents of the securities sold to the failed corporate credit unions contained statements that were not true or omitted material facts.
The suit comes in the wake of the small lenders collapsing from losing billions on the faulty mortgage bonds the Wall Street banksters sold them. The suit will hopefully recover some lost funds for the credit union system.
…the corporate credit unions became insolvent, placed into NCUA conservatorship and later liquidated as a result of losses from the faulty bonds — causing significant losses to the credit union system, according to the organization…
According to complaints, the originators systematically abandoned the state underwriting guidelines in the offering documents, resulting in the securities being significantly riskier than represented.
If the NCUA prevails in the suit the credit unions that failed will likely remain closed but the insurance funds and overall industry could benefit from both the recovered funds and the understanding made to Wall Street that selling fraudulent securities to credit unions will not be tolerated. We will have to see how the lawsuit plays out and whether Wall Street gets the message.
