Direct and indirect speech
What is Direct Speech?
l Consider the following sentence:
Rama said : ' A fine lesson will be taught to the wicked Ravana.'
The given sentence is in direct speech.
Here the exact words of the speaker have been put within quotation marks.
There is a colon after 'said'.
The first word inside the quotation marks starts with a capital letter.
What is an indirect speech then?
• Let's consider the indirect speech of the sentence under consideration ,
Rama said (that) a fine lesson would be taught to the wicked Ravana.
In Indirect speech
• The quotation marks as well as the colon after said are removed.
• The conjunction "that" introduces to us the words (not exact) spoken by the speaker. However the latest trend is to drop 'that'
n Get one thing straight-you do not have to learn the rules by heart. Simply understand what they ask you to do and apply the same in converting a sentence from direct to indirect
n RULE ONE:-If in direct speech you find say/says or will say then DO NOT CHANGE THE TENSE that you can find within the quotation marks
n I say ' I am elated"
n I say I am elated
n He says," I was a fool then"
n He says he was a fool then.
n She says," I will be more experienced then"
n She says she will be more experienced then
n I will say," He loves cricket"
n I will say he loves cricket
n She will say," He was in the land of nod then"
n She will say he was in the land of nod then.
n They will say," We will achieve greatness"
n They will say we will achieve greatness.
• If in direct speech the words within the quotation marks talk of a universal truth or habitual action then RULE ONE is followed or in other words the tense inside the quotation marks is not changed at all.. For e.g.
• The teacher said," The sun rises in the east"
The teacher said the sun rises in the east
* If there is 'said' in the direct speech then the tense of the words inside quotation marks is changed to the past tense.
* I said," I am suffering from a fit of ennui"
* I said I was suffering from a fit of ennui.
Help List one
o Words indicating nearness are changed into words showing distance
o Here-there tomorrow-the next/following day
o This-that yesterday-the previous day
o These-those the next week-the following week
o Today-that day now-then
o Tonight-that night
Help List Two
o The following changes in the tense need to be considered
o Is/am-was
o Are-were
o Is (sleeping)-was (sleeping)
o Are (sleeping)-were (sleeping)
o Has/have killed-had killed
o Was/were laughing-had been laughing
o Can-could; will-would; shall-should; may-might
o Did-had done
Rule 3 --Some examples
• I said," My mother cooks well"
I said my mother cooked well.
She said, " I am reading a whodunit now"
She said she was reading a whodunit then.
He said," I killed an ant"
He said he had killed an ant.
We said ," They have done their job"
We said they had done their job
n She said," We were all laughing uncontrollably"
She said they had been all laughing uncontrollably.
He said," I can do it"
He said he could do it.
She said to me," You may need help"
She told me I might need help.
He said ," She will do this task quickly"
He said she would do that task quickly.
n DO PRACTISE AS MANY EXAMPLES AS POSSIBLE.

A St. Johns County man is recovering in the hospital after he was bitten by a water moccasin on Sunday.
Jon Heater's injury was the latest in a string of snake bite incidents in the area, and News4Jax talked to experts about what you need to know.
There are six types of venomous snakes in Florida.
In our area, experts say people need to watch out for the water moccasin, the coral snake, the pygmy rattlesnake, and the eastern diamondback.
"Venomous snakes are always very fat, short, stubby and bulky. It's an easy giveaway. They do have a diamond head and they do have the cat eyes," said snake expert Stephen Brezil.
Brezil said with diamondbacks, people need to be aware of the distinct diamond pattern on their back. Pygmy rattlers are very small in size, rarely bigger than a foot. Water moccasins are aquatic and black and often swim with their heads sticking out. As for coral snakes, Brezil said just to look at the colors.
"They stand out when you see them," said Brezil, who owns Blazin' Reptiles on San Jose Boulevard. "They spend so much time underground so they're not commonly out, so you won't really see them roaming,"
One way to avoid these creatures is to take care of your lawn and keep it clean.
"Log piles are going to be a prime subject," Brezil said. "If you're piling any kind of wood, leaves, brush; not keeping your yard clean, not keeping it well-manicured, it's going to give them spots for them to hide."

I think of the Cardassians during the war as being not unlike Italy to the Axis during World War Two.
While the Italians made a pretense of being tough guys, when the war really got going the Germans had to bail them out.
by the way, it reminds me of Winston Churchills comment about Italy when he learned they were fighting on the German side in WWII.
"It's only fair. We had them last time." (World War One).
Well that's about the most shallow and insulting way to make a point by making a blanket statement against an entire group of people.
To say nothing of the fact it demonstrates your lack of any in depth knowledge of world war II. Italy had a lot of problems, but combrat prowress wasn't one of them. If you had ever read any reports of the campaigns in North Africa you'd know that.
They were lacking in industry and heavy equipment to be certain. Their main problem was they had to project naval and air power over a British dominated Mediterranian, and with so much of their industry keeping them in the game there, thinks like heavy artillery and tanks are secondary.
Before you mention Greece, let me just point out that the campaign in Greece was a testimony both to Mussolini's lack of strategic insight and preparation and the ferocity of the Greek defenders than the Italian people or nation you so openly insulted.
There are parallels to be certain, but maybe you should watch a bit more Trek outside the Dominion war arc and learn about it's themes of tolerance and understanding.
I have no doubt the italians were as brave and resourceful as the english and germans in WW2 - Greece's surprisingly successful resistance against a superior force notwithstanding.
But they still underperfomed martially in that war: they were, clearly, the weakest of the 'great powers' in WW2; their military did lack combat prowess.
There are, of course, objective reasons for it - the italians didn't have the military technology or industry the english or germans had.
On the other hand, nobody gave the english or the germans this technology or this industrial base as a gift. They built it themselves.
The italians didn't - and, during WW2, it showed.
'Tolerance' and 'understanding' is not ignoring historical facts in favor of feel good propaganda just because you don't like said historical facts - or because you don't find them politically correct enough -, R. Star.

Wells Fargo Survey Predicts Massive Law Firm Layoffs in 2013
According to a recently released survey by Wells Fargo, 15 percent of American law firms have said that they are planning to reduce partnerships in the first quarter of 2013. The reason being given is that these firms have a number of underused partners who are not pulling their weight.
The survey looked at the finances of 115 major law firms and also found that for the third quarter of 2012, firms had modest revenue gains while struggling to rein in their expenses. The firms reported that their growth was being constrained by partners who were not billing enough hours.
The number of hours billed by attorneys at all levels in the surveyed law firms were also down by 1.5 percent in the third quarter compared to the same period last year. The survey showed that associates billed an average of 1,768 hours, which was considered an acceptable level although that was still a decrease of 0.5 percent. But hours billed by equity partners dropped by 1.7 percent to just 1,602 hours and non-equity partners billed just 1,533 hours, a drop of 1.6 percent.

Aeromotive A1000 Stealth Fuel System Issues
So I was having my car dyno tuned yesterday, and was running into a couple issues with the fuel system. I'm NOT running the electronic controller that Aeromotive sells, so it is at 100% duty cycle all the time. At idle I have 60psi fuel pressure, and it goes up to about 65psi up to 5k rpms. Past 5k rpms, it drops down to 38-40psi.
The tuner said that it could be that the fuel pump can not handle the pressure, but Aeromotive says their system handles up to 1100hp on a FI car. We followed all their directions, and are using 1/2" -8 line, and an inline fuel filter, as well as return system with a regulator.
Right now, I'm not sure how to troubleshoot the problem. I don't want to drop the fuel tank. Is there any easy way to test the voltage to the tank? There's a possibility that there is just not enough voltage going to the pump. I'll also be checking the fuel filter to see if there's anything caught in there. I wouldn't think the -8 line is restricting any pressure? This is my 2nd pump for Aeromotive, my first one burned out after ~2.5k miles, so I hope it's not an issue like that.
Any recommendations?
As I think you know, my Aeromotive lasted less than seven hours of run time... They couldn't understand why I didn't want it back... If your interested, I have a Brand new upgraded Eliminator 1400 HP/FI pump.
Supposedly the Aeromotive speed controller allows for longer life due to running at less duty cycle during idle and low rpm driving conditions. (Didn't work for me)
Good Luck...
Same issue here. My pump is now dead. It will not supply more than 20 psi of fuel. I ran the Aeromotive FPCM from day one...and had issues from day one.
If it comes time for a new one, consider Squash Performance. Mine is feeding 825rwhp through -6 lines without issue. I am going for 1krwhp in the next few months with it.
Are you using the existing fuel pump wiring to run the Aero or did you use some sort of hot wire kit? If not already doing so I would run the pump right off the alternator for more consistent power.
Dayum Pyro...sorry to here. I am getting "squashed" myself soon. I ran from the aero set up...too many stories. I hope you get this sorted out bro.
I have the Aeromotive Stealth and have not had any voltage or pressure problems, more or less... I also do not have the volt regulator.
The problem I do have is an apparent fuel cut in some circumstances. We believe it is related to one or both of these things:
1) Low fuel level. Without a full tank, there is less pressure to the pump. The Stealth does not use the factory pickup (as I understand it). It happens to me under hard acceleration (launching at the track), so it could also be low fuel sloshing around.
2) Fuel boiling. Theory is that without the volt regulator, the returned fuel gets hot and once it gets to a certain level, the hot fuel causes low pressure. My solution has been to keep the tank full since it's easier to heat up less fuel in the tank.
I am worried about the life of the pump as well and have plans to order the volt regulator with the hope that it will also address the apparent heated fuel problem.
Either way, for you, have you noted the fuel level when this occurs and is it a factor for you?
I am running the magnafuel pumps and have zero issues and they are very quiet too. I would definitely stay away from the aeromotive as there have always been issues with aeromotive and why I chose the magnafuel pumps.
What hat do you have for the magnafuel pump(s)?
Unless he changed something, Jason is running external pumps with a fuel cell. There are pics of it in the facebook links in his sig.
I'm running the Aeromotive system.. So far so good, but I only have maybe 2 hours on it. Made two shakedown passes so far with it and fueling is good, but have not started applying the big power yet.
I'll have to keep an eye on this thread, I'd hate to change the pump but I want reliability.
I have the entire Aeromotive Stealt setup sitting at home waiting for my motor. I will be running the Stealth eliminator pump in tank return style with -10 feed and -8 return lines. I also ordered the billet fuel controller to keep the pump speed down at lower rpms.
I did a bunch of research on this setup on Corvetteforums and LS1tech and could not find any negative information. I guess we will see. :iono:
I had the A1000 in my build it lasted about 3 days. If you have not installed it yet I wouldn't just my 2 cents. I have a brand new one sitting here so if anybody would like to buy a $700 paper weight let me know.
Have Aeromotive A1000 and Eliminator on multiple cars with lots of pressure and use. All NRE dyno testing done on 100's of engines > 1000 hp using these pumps with no failure yet. Sufficient wiring and plumbing are very important. A friends Impala has 70,000+ miles on his original A1000.
Bummer that Camaro5 people have had issues.
After installing my F-1D on my G8 and driving it for only two days, my car started experiencing cavitation and shutting down. The fuel rails were extremely hot to the touch and would not start until cooling off for at least an hour or so. I had it towed to the shop to diagnose the fuel problems. Hooked up a fuel pressure gauge and it would hit a max of 5psi then drop to 0. Drop the tank to find this on my Stealth A1000
After sending it back for a new pump and adding the pump speed controller and MSD tach adapter. We also had to figure out the wiring for the tach adapter, because Aeromotive's directions were printed wrong and they referred us to MSD, who also did not have a clue and tried to sell me another model tach adapter. After the wiring was figured out, the car has been running just fine and staying cool. Im still waiting to see what happens. If it this one goes, I plan on buying the Squash setup.
I did find out I can access the fuel pump wiring from the rear passenger seat, so i'll see what kind of voltage reading im getting. If its constant voltage, hopefully its just the filter.
Thanks for all the replies guys, give me some things to think about and test!
I would recommend trying it with a full tank (the fuel pump can't heat the whole tank too much), adding an inline fuel cooler, and/or adding the volt regulator from Aeromotive. In that order. That's what I'm going to do. :)
BTW, cavitation can kill a fuel pump (but not always), which is maybe why some guys have seen failures.
Good luck, Padre
Make sure it is wired by itself and not in any way hooked to the stock wiring. This way you know it is getting all the power it needs and that somehow your ECM is trying to limit power to the pumps like some sort of limiter.
the more I look at this thread the better I feel i didnt jump on the aero...if it has all these variables, and confusing stuff...I am out....I am starting to feel like this is the thread on the ******* grill..just all kinda stories..ughhh.
One more quick thought/tip on these pumps - You MUST use a relay mounted as close to the pump as possible with dedicated wiring. Thinking back on early installs, this caused a lot of headaches when not done. Hope that helps.
Location of the relay is less important than using proper quality wiring.
Does nobody make a setup to run a pair of Bosch 044's or similar ?
They flow very well, and are 100% reliable. And unlike most other pumps, dont fall flat on their face when you the fuel pressure rises.
Garbage... 80 street miles on it and a few track passes, two 9-second passes, most were aborts from traction woes....
Made a single dyno pass last night on my combo, at 6100RPM's it went to ~20psi and crapped the bed. Screwed the regulator all the way down just to see, now the pump even with regulator all the way in makes maybe 40psi tops at idle. I have mine completely isolated with a single relay, running 10ga wire. I've installed probably 200+ of their series pumps in numerous applications (All externals).
Maybe I have a problem with the internal line, right now do not know what went wrong, frankly don't care I'll never use another Aeromotive series internal pump again.
Made 737rwhp through the unlocked 4l60E at 16psi @ 6100rpms.. Would have cracked 800+ on the low boost if I could have made a pass to 72.
I talked to Jesse from Aeromotive at SEMA. I told him all the issues I was having with the system and he's working with me on troubleshooting the issue, and promised to get me taken care of.

Experts say strangers are not the biggest danger to children
When it comes to your children's safety experts say strangers are not the biggest danger. It's going to be someone you know like a coach or a family member who is most likely to abuse your kids sexually.
You don't need to be suspicious of everyone, but you do want to watch to see how adults are interacting with your children. Are they setting up situations where they will have special access to your kids because they have a special relationship?
Experts say take notice of gifts, trips or special attention an adult gives a child beyond other kids on a team or in the family. But that attention could also make it hard for kids to say anything.
"As a child, you're going to have very conflicted feelings about that person, and very confused feelings about whether this is right or wrong, because this adult, who I trust, is telling me this is special and this is OK," said Dr. Thomas Valvano at Doernbecher Children's Hospital.
Here are things to watch for: hugging or touching of any kind when your child doesn't want it; insisting on spending time alone with your child; sharing personal information that's normally for adults; and consistently allowing your child to get away with inappropriate behavior.

Jane Fonda Claims Home Shopping Network Censorship By 'Political Extremists'
5:10 PM, Jul 18, 2011 • By MARK HEMINGWAY
I suppose this is just, well, the sad rantings of a senior citizen. But O schadenfreude, you capricious sprite!:
Yeah. QVC didn't want her. Let that sink in for a moment. As for Fonda's contention,"never done anything to hurt my country or the men and women who have fought and continue to fight for us," I called my father, a former Marine and Vietnam veteran, for comment. Alas, standards of decency render it largely unprintable.

We are located in the Pilanesberg and offer an opportunity to see many of Africa's predatory species at close quarters. Qualified, knowledgeable guides share interesting information on each animal, while child-friendly tours include treasure hunts, refreshments and fun activities.
Lions are the second largest living cats after tigers. Unlike most other cat species, lions are very social felines. Male lions are easily recognised by their manes. A group of lions is called a pride and typically consists of a male, a couple of females and their offspring.
Cheetahs are the fastest land animals, with the ability to accelerate from 0 to 103km/h in 3 seconds. This is faster than most super cars. They can reach speeds between 112 and 120km/h in short bursts, covering up to 460m.
Leopards have relatively short legs & a long body with a large skull. They are extremely successful in the wild due to their opportunistic hunting behavior, adaptability, speed (58 km/h (36 mph), ability to climb trees even when carrying a heavy carcass, and stealth.
Servals have the longest legs of any cat, relative to their body size. The toes are also elongated, and unusually mobile, helping the animal to capture partially concealed prey. Another distinctive feature of the serval is the presence of large ears and a special bony structure in the skull, indicating a particularly acute sense of hearing.
They unique & vital components to most ecosystems. Since they don't have claws, they have to catch their prey in their teeth. their calloused feet with large, blunt, non-retractible nails are made for running and making sharp turns.
They have very powerful jaws; young hyenas can crack the leg bones of springboks in five minutes, this ability deteriorates with age though as their teeth gradually wear. Their social structure works on an alpha male and alpha female.
Meerkats live in all parts of the Kalahari Desert in Botswana and in South Africa. A group of meerkats is called a "mob", "gang" or "clan". They can move up to 80% their own body weight in sand in one day by digging.
Bengal tiger is the national animal of Bangladesh. The largest known Bengal tiger was a male with a head and body length of 221 cm, a shoulder height of 109 cm and a tail of just 81 cm, perhaps bitten off by a rival male.
Our guides can not wait to show you our animal collection and to share their knowledge. Tshepang, Kehilwe and Khotso have all been guiding and training at the zoo for over a year. Our guided tours are the perfect way to get to see those elusive predators that you do not always have the privilege to spot in the wild.
Our tours are structured around how our guests arrive, so you might have to wait 10 minute for the next tour, but never longer than that.
R100.00 / adult and R50.00 / child between the ages of 4 and 12 as well as pensioners.
Children 3 years and younger do not pay for entrance.
We do not run our tours at set times, we structure them around the times that our guests arrive. You might have to wait 15 - 20 minutes for the next tour.
ZOO-BY-NIGHT- Bookings essential
This is an amazing opportunity to see predators up close and personal after dark. The tour starts as dusk settles and continues through the zoo as darkness falls. Armed only with your guide and a spotlight, this is a real adrenaline rush.
You may combine your tour with one of our famous burgers or a bush braai for an extra special evening.
R160 / adult and R80 / child for Zoo-By-Night alone.
R70.00 for a burger with chips and a drink
R320 / adult and R160 / child for Zoo-By-Night with a Zoo braai.
What time we start with the tour depends on the season.; when the sun sets.
GAME DRIVES- Bookings essential
Go on a Game Drive on our private game farm with a chance to spot white rhino, zebra, giraffe, gemsbok, kudu, eland, warthog and abundant bird life. You could also book a picnic game drive where, after your drive you may enjoy a picnic basket in an enchanting area on our game farm.
R300.00 / adult and R150.00 / child.
Please make a booking in order to see what times we have avialable.
GAME DRIVE PICNICS- Bookings essential

I took my Toyota Landcruiser to this shop on a recommendation from a friend for a rear main seal repair. Upon leaving the shop I noticed that my oil gauge wasn't moving. When I got to my home,(22 miles away) I checked the oil to find no oil in the car. I put 3 qts. in before the dipstick showed that it was full. I called the next day and told the owner that my oil gauge wasn't moving and asked if this was normal. I was told that it would only show pressure and that everything was fine. I had the car back in the same shop a week later for a radiator hose and they apparently didn't check their work or to see if the car had oil. Being a woman and not knowing much about cars, I believed that my car was repaired. Needless to say, my motor burned up in just a few weeks. Mark, the owner refused to take responsibility. He wants me to bring my car back to his shop at my expense and pay for a new motor. His offer is to put a motor that I pay for in at no cost. I have already paid this man over $1200 to ruin my car. No Thanks.

The El Paso Diablos are ready to open another independent league baseball season at Cohen Stadium, taking on the Amarillo Sox tonight through Sunday and then hosting the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Tim Johnson returns for his second season as manager. Johnson, a professional baseball veteran, revamped the Diablo lineup last year, took them on a playoff run and was named American Association of Independent Baseball Manager of the Year for his efforts. He also brings back his staff -- Carlos Lezcano as hitting coach and Brian Daly as pitching coach.
Shortstop Maikol Gonzalez returns for his third season, coming back on the wings of a fine 2012 season -- hitting .330 and stealing 40 bases in 100 games with the Diablos.
The Diablos will once again compete in the 13-team American Association of Independent Baseball, a league broken into three divisions. The Diablos will compete against the Amarillo Sox, the Laredo Lemurs and the Grand Prairie AirHogs for the South Division title. The Gary Southshore RailCats, the Kansas CityT-Bones, the Lincoln Saltdogs, the Sioux Falls Explorers and the Wichita Wingnuts will battle it out for the Central Division crown. And the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks, the St. Paul Saints, the Sioux Falls Pheasants and the Winnipeg Goldeyes will chase the North Division championship.
The Diablos drew 181,122 fans to Cohen Stadium (capacity 10,000) last year, an average of 3,696 fans a game and sixth best in the American Association. Winnipeg led last year's attendance chase, drawing 285,263, an average of 5,705 fans a game.
Johnson brings a veteran presence to the team, playing seven years in the major leagues (five with Milwaukee, two with Toronto), managing at almost every level. He is a two-time Pioneer League Manager of the Year, he served as a bench coach for a season each with the Montreal Expos and Boston Red Sox, and in 1998, he managed Toronto to a third-place finish in the American League East.
The Diablos will begin their summer run tonight.

Good Food Garden: Love It or Hate It?
by Food
Like us on Facebook
While attending the country's first-ever Slow Food Nation this weekend, I came across the Good Food Garden structure that the Food Network and the Share Our Strength unveiled just a week ago.
While I love the fact that Teich Garden Systems, which built the garden, designed it for everything from schoolyards to backyards, I also wonder if it's really necessary to have a special gardening platform, since people have been planting gardens for hundreds of years without them. What do you think of the Good Food Garden?

The soil in my area is bad, so I already do my gardening in containers. Fortunately the only pest who eats my plants is my cat. But if I had bunnies or deer and didn't already have a ton of pots, I'd consider building one of these.
milosmommy 7 years
We totally need something like this. We have a raised bed, but its open and omg the squirrels run rampant and we have to chase them out constantly. This might help a ton.
CiaoBella2 7 years
It looks good. I agree with the others that it would keep unwanted animals from eating any produce.
hippiecowgirl 7 years
I think it's great. As somone else mentioned, it'd be great for keeping the critters out. Maybe not entirely neccessary, but it'd be nice to have.

I love it. I've been considering building something similar for my own garden because I have about a dozen deer that make their wasy through my yard 2-3 times a day.
lynnypoo 7 years
well i'm not so sure about the separate platform, but the enclosures (with a padlock!)are definitely a good idea, especially if you live in urban areas - where i live at least, ripe homegrown vegetables aren't going to last very long on my garden patch, especially when food prices are soaring...

i actually like this idea. i can understand your point about how we've had gardens forever and don't need a 'structure' but i have to admit that at my mom's house - she's had issues with animals who decide that her veggies are their dinner and they just come in through the fence and eat them. i think that this could be a way to get around the bunnies etc coming through.

Oooops...meant to say "critters", plural.;)

This is a great structure. The structure itself will keep out most critter, such as raccoons, rats, etc. The special platform might not be necessary, though. Looks like this is easy to build.

I am not sure what you are asking about, so i will answer twice:
1. Jobo machines (cpp2\cpa2) with SN under 22XXX have some version of an older motor. Technically speaking, one can upgrade the unit to use the latest motor (same as in the CPP3\ATL) but the cost and inherent benefits (only the main rotation motor is replaced, leaving many other old\failing components) make it generally not a viable option.
2. A CPP3 control unit only, bolt on upgrade is in the cards. This will enable existing CPA\CPP users to simply buy the new unit and replace the old unit with undoing and re installing 2 screws and 4 bolts (about 3 minutes all together). This option promises to save on the initial cost of the machine, as well as on global shipping, as the control head is much smaller then the entire unit with the main water trough. We will be updating when such an option becomes available in 115V.

So I've been reading through posts for days now. Not even ones I care about. I've tried educating myself as much as I can. I have an M-10000 on the way, It's in a case with a 60 watt power supply built in. I intend to use an inverter right to that power supply. I also plan to put a toggle switchin before the inverter so I can cut power to the 'puter as needed.
Since I don't intend on having the computer on before I start the car, do I need to worry about it srurviving crank?
I'll wardrive with it, and I'll GPS with it. I probabaly will MP3 with it, and rarely will DVD with it. I'm building it mostly to see if I can, to look cool, but most importantly, to wardrive.

Jets aside, maybe it's the tab for Xcel's lobbying that really should worry us
Written By: Colorado Consumer Coalition|
March 22, 2012|
Posted In:
Just last week we pointed out how it'll probably be a long time before Xcel Energy is able to live down its latest, self-inflicted black eye: the revelation that its $142 million proposed rate hike, now pending before the Colorado Public Utilities Commission, includes a $1.1 million charge to reimburse the utility giant for its execs' use of two corporate jets. As we noted:
While the jets' cost comprises only a sliver of some $135 million that PUC staff deems unwarranted in Xcel's rate proposal, the high-flying expense—$4,642 an hour—seems to illustrate the two dramatically different levels on which Xcel and its many hard-pressed Colorado ratepayers seem to dwell these days.
Indeed, it's bad enough Xcel's execs seem to be living it up at high altitude while its 1.4 million Colorado ratepayers, many still struggling to recover from a devastating recession, face the prospect of yet another increase in their power bills. It only could come as salt in their wounds to learn they could be stuck with the tab for Xcel's high life, to boot.
Now, news has emerged from Xcel's hometown of Minneapolis that the utility has racked up another dubious distinction—one perhaps less outrageous than the company's jet-set travel tastes, yet more insidious. It turns out that of all the major business interests headquartered in the Twin Cities, Minneapolis-based Xcel was the top spender on lobbying at the Minneapolis state legislature.
The tab for that activity, $2.36 million, is more than double what Xcel wants to charge its Colorado ratepayers for its execs' Learjet jaunts. It even outspent broad-based Minnesota business lobbies like the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce and the Minnesota Business Partnership Inc.
By this point, Xcel's ratepayers in Minnesota as well as in Colorado must be wondering which is more galling: that they might wind up subsidizing Xcel's exclusive travel habits—or that they are, in effect, being forced to lobby for legislation that, all too often, results in even higher energy bills. We've seen this happen here in Colorado, where Xcel lobbied at the State Capitol for costlier clean-air standards in 2010 and then lobbied against legislation that would have reined in some of those costs.
And whether we pay for any of it is ultimately up to the PUC, which has final say over the rates of regulated monopolies like Xcel. As we've also noted before, the PUC, under new leadership since last year, seems to be showing some renewed will to take on Xcel, having rejected two recent bids by the utility for an interim rate hike while its permanent increase is under consideration. Moreover, the PUC's technical staff is recommending a vastly scaled-down permanent rate hike from that which Xcel is seeking. Will the PUC continue to hang tough?

When I was reflecting on my 20th anniversary in Las Cruces, and all of the things that have changed here, I also pondered what has not changed. In a word: Mesilla's enduring adobe ambiance.
That's quite an accomplishment in the opinions of some of us, and an indictment in the views of others. (I recall one developer emerging from yet another frustrating meeting, muttering in his beard about "the People's Republic of Mesilla.")
I was brought here by three people, two of whom are still here and dear amigos: Dr. Karin Cook and Elaine Socolofsky Szalay. When I arrived, after a three-day U-Haul adventure from Florida, I was afraid I'd taken the wrong exit. I hadn't, Elaine told me, as I called from the Avenida de Mesilla McDonald's. As I waited, I ordered a green chile burger (not standard fast food faire in other parts of the planet) and realized I'd come home.
I felt even more at home when Elaine dropped me off at the Mesilla adobe of Lu Ares. She was my gregarious and welcoming hostess for the next week. She drove me around looking for apartments, took me on walks through Mesilla acequias and gave me a basic primer on life here. There was a lot of talk, and none of it was small. We stayed up late pondering the mysteries of the universe and the wonders of life in the Mesilla Valley.
And I decided if the Mesilla neighborhood where I first landed here was any example, I was going to love Las Cruces. The Mesilla Plaza reminded me Canyon Road and the Santa Fe Plaza when I lived there in the 1980s, what some have termed the last great days of the City Different.
In the mid-1990s, some Mesilleros were already complaining that Mesilla's best, laid-back adobe village days were behind them. I heard from old timers about the days when neighborhood dogs felt safe taking long siestas in the middle of dirt roads surrounding the plaza.
Though most people are a lot more careful about leash laws these days, I still come upon the occasional dog, cat or farm animal chilling out in the middle of a Mesilla road when I trek around the village outskirts, still my favorite choice for a leisurely neighborhood stroll.
And the more I hike, the more I'm impressed that as the rest of the territory changes, the more Mesilla seems the same. Some things, in fact, are even better, thanks to those with Mesilla roots who've renovated and expanded without changing Mesilla's character, like La Posta's Jearean and Tom Hutchinson, And Kathleen Foreman and her husband Bob Hamilton, who've spruced up the building and courtyard where the Mesilla Valley Fine Arts Gallery is located, and established Josefina's restaurant and bread and breakfast where Kathleen's mom, Josefina Gamboa Biel, was once legendary for her hospitality and iconic adobe gate. The Ritters have made the Double Eagle a showplace in a location that once included their ancestor's medical practice.
Lalo Natividad and his late partner Richard Meeks did a lot to bring traditional Borderland celebrations back to the plaza, including the Mesilla Diez y Seis celebration continuing today. Artist Preciliana Sandoval and her group of dedicated Calavera Coalition volunteers created annual Día de Los Muertos celebrations that remind us not only of lives well-lived, but also of just how good -- and creative -- our daily lives can be here. And J. Paul Taylor, his late wife Mary, and their family are leaving us a lasting legacy in their sprawling plaza home that will become a museum and gift shop.
Maybe I still see Mesilla through rosy-adobe colored glasses, but I am not blind to some crucial changes: the suburban sprawl, gated communities and outsized, upscale adobe edifices that have sprung up around the village and so elevated property values that families who have lived and farmed there for generations have sometimes felt compelled to cash in and move out.
And lot of plaza galleries, shops and restaurants have come and gone in 20 years. But somehow, Mesilla's soul seems unchanged. On a quiet fall afternoon, it's still possible to imagine cowboys and frontier glam señoritas roaming the plaza, rousing sleeping dogs from their mid-plaza siestas.

The Snowy Owl (Bubo scandiacus), as its name would suggest, is a longtime denizen of the frozen north, customarily ranging in the polar regions, upper Canada, Alaska, and northern Eurasia. In recent years, however, it has been migrating southward and, during the past few decades, has been sighted in places like Texas, Tennessee, and Florida. In the midst of this snowy, and decidedly frigid, winter, the Snowy Owl's progress makes a certain sense.
So it was no great shock, although a pleasant spectacle, when a Snowy Owl turned up in Washington, D.C., a few weeks ago. Perched on an office-building ledge a few blocks east of The Weekly Standard's offices, it attracted the attention of birders, civil servants, global-warming skeptics, fans of nature, and, of course, the press. Why had Bubo scandiacus chosen the nation's capital? Are they interested in politics as well as small rodents? (Perhaps the two categories overlap?) In a city where things tend to grow rather than shrink, might the local population of Snowy Owls expand?
Probably not. For late one evening, at the beginning of this month, while Snowy Owl was foraging in McPherson Square—local habitat of the late, unlamented Occupy movement—it was struck by a city bus, then an SUV, and knocked silly. The Metropolitan Police, to their credit, swung into action: They spent the better part of two hours tracking their prey, and then finally made an arrest, delivering a dazed Bubo scandiacus to the National Zoo for treatment.
The Scrapbook is pleased to report that the owl, since identified as a she, appears to be recovering from her head injury and fractured toe. She was found to be anemic, and somewhat underweight, which might be explained by the fact that the industrial-sized rats she was hunting in McPherson Square are usually laced with rat poison. Such is life in the Big City. For now, however, she is resting comfortably in a clinic that specializes in wild animals, devouring white mice in a temperature-controlled room, reportedly growing increasingly "feisty."
The obvious question, of course, is what's next? Assuming that the Snowy Owl recovers fully, the ideal solution would be to find a good environment for release into the wild. Preferably with a mate. But the chances of finding a male Bubo scandiacus in Washington are probably slim, and it is possible that release into the wild would be a sentence of death.
The Scrapbook is reminded that Smokey Bear, the famous only-you-can-prevent-forest-fires character, was nicely personified by an injured bear cub rescued from a 1950 forest fire in New Mexico. Until his death in 1976, Smokey spent a pleasant life at the National Zoo, delighting local schoolchildren and becoming one of America's more famous and successful mascots. Any suggestions for a name for Snowy Owl?

Institute building is the work of architect Beretti, the same author's University. Taras Shevchenko. By the way, Beretti lived with the other side of the street. Then the school was so famous that was common between Kiev and not the official name of the street - the street maiden.
The building, whose appearance in town was a real event - the Institute for Noble Maidens. By that time, similar institutions already existed in Poltava and Odessa. But this did not prevent the Kiev Institute to become a favorite of the emperor. At its opening, he singled out the sensational sum for those times in half a million rubles. His noble upbringing, we are obliged age tradition, which started the whole empire on a famous institute of noble maidens, founded in 1838.
Executed in the style of Russian classicism building stood out brightly portal rotunda, colonnade and friznym relief depicting the pelican feeding its young buyout. This symbolized parental love and sacrifice. The institution was closed and the pupils in it were deprived of family and forced to live in the hostel. In addition, it was a respected institution, it is intended for high society, the nobility, the merchants of the first category, and the daughters of officers. Education at the Institute was not really a whim for the poor. Renowned historian Kiev Zakharchenko mentions - "The institute accepted only daughter of nobles, merchants, priests, and foreigners. At least eight years and, moreover, only with a dowry - a dozen shirts, and white handkerchiefs, 12 pairs of stockings, 6 sheets, towels and make sure the silver instruments. " Despite our understanding Institute for Noble Maidens gave no higher and secondary education. During the six years younger from Kiev planted an aesthetic taste and fully develop them. Here we study the law of God, music, singing, dancing and crafts. But physics and mathematics were taught in a simplified form. Then it was thought that a woman should not acquire encyclopedic knowledge of a more general and applied. Then attached great importance to the study of languages, and most of the items were read was French.
In his memoirs kievlyanok there is evidence that the institute was a frequent visitor to the Emperor Nicholas I, as a rule during dinner. Did the institutsyaka kitchen was so tasty. In fact, the secret is that the windows of the dining room opened up magnificent views of the old town, which, admiring the emperor. And you can enjoy not only the view, as the main decoration of pristine streets were pupils of this institution. Some girls even demanded that they built to bridge the transition towards the entertainment of the garden. And this desire to realize it was unrealistic because of the strict rules of the institute. Institutions around the fence and they were. forbidden even to look out for it, not like going out. Desired bridge yet built, but after the last reconstruction of Independence Square. During the Second World War, the central building of the institute last burned. After the restoration is placed here October Palace, which became a center of culture and the arts.

During the years I'd spent with my husband, these parts had either wilted under the heat of adult responsibility or been flattened by my inaccurate view that my husband—not I—was the one with these qualities. I was the object of his desire. Others saw him as the creative one, the glamorous one, the one with power and prestige. I was the understated wife, the serious psychology devotee, the harried-conscientious mom, the reliable friend. Sexy young clients at his gallery openings usually greeted me with, "So, how are the kids?" looking past me at the artwork, the bar, or my husband. My mojo vanished under the weight of cultural and psychological "shoulds."
My "lover," by contrast, seemed fragile and sensitive—a bit like me. I responded to him viscerally, with great strength and tenderness, venturing into risky new territory. A talented writer, he seduced with words, knowingly providing postmodern legitimacy for our affair with the phrase, "Many seemingly opposite things can be true at the same time." He sent me poems by Rumi: "Out beyond ideas of rightdoing and wrongdoing, there is a field. I will meet you there." He wrote about the chakras, Sufi mysticism, and prayer. In the seemingly unlimited writing time he had at work, he'd ask me questions filled with concern, curiosity, and interest, forcing me to probe places I hadn't gone before. What a perfect blank screen he became for projecting the new movie playing inside my head, in which the irresistible heroine, me, is seen, known, and worshipped. When he told me I represented the lover archetype, a la Carl Jung, I began to shed a few pounds, shop for lingerie, and burn CDs. Still with no plans to see this other man, I felt really good in my own spray-tanned skin.
Then everything changed. Like a junkie, I began to need more to get the high, and sometimes, like a real human being, he just couldn't deliver what I needed. And vice versa. Not getting these needs met caused the fantasy to shatter like a broken mirror, leaving us both disappointed, frustrated, and angry.
I started to notice things about him I didn't like. In reality, my cyber-boyfriend was quite different, and much more flawed, than my projected dream guy. He disclosed shockingly personal details about his wife, which somehow seemed more disloyal than his online affair with me. He had a habit of beginning relationships and then abruptly ending them over imagined slights, which left me diagnosing him with a personality disorder. He drank cheap wine like a fish, which caused me to suggest he "speak to someone" and attend AA. His verbose e-mails turned boring. His sensitive side somehow morphed into impotent self-indulgence. The man I'd envisioned as truly enlightened seemed consumed with unending, dark despair. This portrayal of him is certainly unfair and exaggerated, but when the infatuation that held his image together evaporated, leaving me disillusioned and "alone," this was what I saw. It ended through e-mails as easily as it had started, but not without pain.
Returning to confront the realities of my marriage, I began to understand that, as a couple, my husband and I weren't unassailable. If this other man had all these negative feelings that he was too afraid to express to his wife, or that she was too deaf to hear, might not my husband have his own storehouse of disappointments with me? Was I deaf? If I could be seduced and seducing, couldn't he? Couldn't his heart, almost against his will, alight on another? For the first time in decades, I felt separate from my husband in the way you feel separate from someone you don't take for granted: separate but equal—not enmeshed, not half of something. For the first time in many years, I saw him as unfamiliar; as someone I didn't fully know.

No charges will be filed in June bicycle accident near Eudora
November 14, 2008
Criminal charges will not be filed against the motorist who was distracted by electronics when he struck and killed a Douglas County sheriff's lieutenant who was riding his bicycle, District Attorney Charles Branson announced Friday afternoon. Lt. David Dillon, a deputy for the jail operations division of the sheriff's office, died in the June 28 accident. Dillon, 44, was off-duty when he was struck from behind by a 2003 Oldsmobile driven by Kyle Van Meter, 21, the Kansas Highway Patrol said. The accident caused the right front tire of the car to be flattened from impact with the bicycle, a highway patrol report said. The seat of the bike was found under Dillon's body. "Van Meter admitted to being distracted by his radio and told authorities he did not see Dillon until he hit him," Branson said in a news release. A highway patrol report said Van Meter, of Eudora, was also distracted by a cell phone during the accident, which occurred in the 1900 block of North 1400 Road, just one mile west of Eudora. The report indicated inattention and failure to yield the right-of-way were contributing circumstances in the wreck. Branson said his office has returned the case to the highway patrol, suggesting the state agency issue citations for unsafe overtaking/passing, following too closely and failure to wear a seatbelt. Branson said he met with Dillon's family this week to discuss the results of the investigation. "If any good can come from the tragedy we can only hope people will slow down and pay attention to their driving," he said.

i've used dior and mac concealers in the past as well and i liked this one as much i liked the other two.
the only complaint is that i don't wear makeup every day; hence, sometimes i have to physically squeeze out dried product out from the clear long tube at the top....

It's a very natural looking concealer but it's so dry it settles in the lines & the packaging is horrible as a lot of product comes out when you twist

Overall I would give this concealer a 7/10 - it does a good job of covering up any blemishes, redness and dark circles which is exactly what I would expect of a higher end concealer.
It appears smooth and flawless on the skin straight after you apply it, I use the sephora concealer brush (46) when applying this as i am able to blend it in appropriately and gives good coverage.
The downfall of this product for me is that it seems to wear off very quickly and i find myself having to constantly apply more throughout the day. Also, after an hour or so my face becomes more oily also meaning I have powder my face every so often to avoid this which isn't practical when constantly on the go, and i haven't had this problem with other concealers before.
Satisfied with this concealer for now, but will try another one when this runs out :)

I had heard great things about this brand so I decided to try out this concealer (and foundation) in the store and took a sample home with me. I liked the way it looked and covered up the darker circles under my eyes but it soon broke me out terribly directly where it was applied the most! I still don't know if it was the concealer or the foundation but either way my skin did not like it. I don't know if this has happened to other people or if I just have very sensitive skin but definitely try this out in store and take a sample home before you purchase!

This is the BEST concealor out there, literally. I have very visible eye bags and this is the only concealor that actually conceals and brighten! It is also very creamy, which is great for me because no matter how much eye cream I use, my under eye area is dry. This concealor is amazing, it covers, illuminates and moisturizes. It does not settle in lines either. However, the biggest problem with this too good to be true product is the price. First of all, you get only 0.05 oz of the product, which is equivalent to a general sample sized product. So, $30 for 0.05 oz? No thanks. When I initially bought this, it lasted me 2 weeks, then I repurchased it, and it lasted me only 1 week, and for a few months I had to repurchase it every 1-2 weeks, which is a lot, considering that it is highly priced for the amount of product given.
If only this product was cheaper or, if Make Up For Ever matched the amount of product with the price better, then I would have never stopped repurchasing.
Too pricey!

I've been testing a large sample of thus and love it. It looks and feels very natural on my under eyes. It brightens and doesn't settle in lines. I'm debating on whether or not to spend this much to buy it with all the complaints about packaging though.

I tried this in the store because I thought it would be fun to do a full face of makeup while I was at Sephora. lol
I really like the idea of the applicator. I have click brush concealers like this that have the bristle brush and while they don't really bother me I can see the charm of having something you can wipe off. The applicator does seem more sanitary, but I didn't use it to actually apply the product. I clicked the product up and put it on my finger then put it under my eye.
The color I chose to try was a pink based concealer and I chose it because I am more interested in brightening under my eye vs. concealing. I really don't have much discoloration. My issue is more dullness. This really helped brighten up my eye and I would consider purchasing this product in the future if I wanted to treat myself.
The thing is I have a good concealer click pen from maybelline that does a very bang up job at brightening under my eye so I probably won't shell out the money for this product anytime soon, but if I had endless money I would buy it no question.

I loved this concealer! The actual product was great-provided just the right amount of coverage without looking cakey. I used this under my eyes and to cover blemishes and redness and it worked well under all conditions. The consistency was nice and the colour match was spot on (305 for my pale skin). What I didn't like about this was the packaging-it was horrible! The click-pen allowed for way too much product to come out, and at this price I do not want to waste product. I would repurchase if there was different packaging because I loved the product inside!

i wanted to buy this because i generally like makeup forever hd products and needed a good concealer to cover my dark circles but still look natural. The product itself is OK its not fantastic, but its not horrible either. It doesnt completly cover my dark circles but it does have a beautiful hd finish. The only flaws that i see are the lasting power and the goddang packaging. the packaging is different from most concealers and i appreciate them for being different, but its wasting product and is inefficient and plain bad.
the packaging doesnt let u see how much product u have left, the applicater isnt useful, and u have to be careful when u twist because u might get too much product out. Also you have to squeeze the dried product build up out (from previous usage) before you use it again because it wont come out otherwise. i felt like there wasnt much product in it anyways because after a week it would take a while of twisting for it to come out.

This is the best concealer I've ever used - love the consistency and how it manages to camouflage without being obvious (in fact, you can't see it). I have it in two shades 330 and 335 - I use the lighter one as a highlighter. I find that many highlighters are full of shimmer, when what I'm looking for is just to 'spotlight' around my eyes and a few spots. This does the trick. It's expensive, but worth it.

Electronic games are now ruling the gaming industry! Gone are the days when handy video games were such popular. The idea of using them while travelling made them all the more exciting. The creation has PS2s, cell phones, tablets, etc have diminished the market of the mere television video games, which were once-upon-a-time everyone's favourite. Furthermore, with the invention of R4i, the market has shifted to a completely different level and given the gaming industry the much needed boost!
The installation of R4i card is an easy process and is generally performed manually by the buyers. Technically it requires an USB adapter to be further used by other electronic devices. However it is essentially advisable to the consumers to be definite about the software accepted by their operating system, i.e., the operating system should support the software used by R4i, else it does not serve the purpose.
Electronic games being the talk of the town lately also have certain disadvantages associated with it. Not everyone realises it at an initial stage, these are generally the side-effect or better termed as after-effects:
Physical ailments: Sitting before an electronic screen for hours may lead to various health ailments such as back ache, problem in vision, etc.
Addiction: As it is conventionally advised, habit lead to addiction which is far more dangerous; be it even for electronic games. It's better to keep it a casual affair rather than making it a habit!
Wastage of productive time: Spending long hours continuously on electronic games, or any games for that reason; would ultimately lead to wastage of productive time.
Expensive: The only portion of the market not covered by the R4i card industry is because of it unaffordable rates.
Though these disadvantages exist, there is no stop in the sales of R4i in the market. However, it is always expected that expensive products come with certain over-head benefits. Some of the services which the dealers should provide are:
Software requirements: The product should comply with all the bare minimum requirement of the user.
Money refund: If the software does not comply with the respective operating system, the dealer should refund the entire amount back.
Warranty service: The dealer must provide warranty service to its buyers and users without much difficulty and conditions.
Anytime service: The dealer should be ready to provide any kind of technical services required on the go, i.e., whenever and wherever required.
The delivery of such products are highly variable, still the dealer should be well prepared for all the consequences. Dealers like R4 Card store have all the latest products available; whenever and wherever needed!
Eduardo Ogden is United kingdom Author. He has applied his knowledge and understanding to a wide variety of gaming industry. The r4 card is a great device allowing you to R4i Card and R4i add files to your Dsi console.

Brice Marden received an MFA from the Yale School of Art and Architecture in 1963. It was at Yale, under instruction from artists including Alex Katz and Jon Schueler and working alongside students Richard Serra and Chuck Close, that Marden arrived at the rectangular format and muted, extremely individualized palette that characterize his early monochromatic panels. Over the course of his career Marden's work has developed to reveal the range of influences he has absorbed during his travels throughout the world. The light and landscape of the Greek island of Hydra and the art, landscape, and culture of Asia are manifested in the heightened colors and calligraphic gestures of his more recent work, which, expanding beyond the strictures of Minimalism, reincorporates landscape and the figure into abstract painting while reconnecting it with Abstract Expressionism and non-Western traditions.
The Museum of Modern Art, New York, presented a retrospective exhibition of Marden's work in 2006, and he has been the subject of one-person exhibitions at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Documenta IX, Kassel; and the Serpentine Gallery and Tate Gallery, London. Marden (born 1938) lives and works in New York.

Secretary of Aging Brian Duke has urged all Pennsylvania residents to join in the national celebration marking the 50th anniversary of Older Americans Month in May.
This year's theme, "Unleash the Power of Aging," focuses on recognizing the many older adults who are productive, active and influential members of society, especially those who volunteer, according to a news release.
Duke will take part in programs being held across the state by many of the 52 Area Agencies on Aging. Events include luncheons honoring Pennsylvanians 100 years of age and older, as well as volunteer recognition programs.

I have completed writing my first novella, Moorehead Manor. It's in the teen, horror genre. I've given it over to my editor to read, but am thinking about putting it out there as a first draft, posted for the sake of critiques. It involves three teenagers, a house with a terrible secret, a cold case file and one very evil ghost that has a secret of its own. It takes place in the little town of Wallace, Louisiana.

It is possible to get a free listing on Amazon without joining their select program. I got one of my short stories free using their price matching feature. First you need to get your story free at Barnes & Noble and Kobo. I did this by using Smashwords and pricing the story for free. Once it is listed through their premium catalog and appears at B&N and Kobo get a group of people to go into Amazon and report the lower price for your story using the links to B&N and Kobo. After enough people have reported it they will price match. The author can't do it alone, they will ignore repeated reports from the same user/ip. Hope this helps.
I should preface - this isn't my first work. I had written a very short story about two little old ladies that murder Justin Bieber. It's a dark comedy called, "Murder at Shady Oaks Senior Estates: The Demise of Justin Bieber". I put it out on Amazon, lulu, iBookstore, ect. I wish Amazon let you list things for free, because I want to put my horror story out there for anyone to read free of charge.

Nuncio Views the Dire Situation in Holy Land
Scene Facing Ariel Sharon's New Government
| 442 hits
JERUSALEM, JAN. 30, 2003 (Zenit.org).- Ariel Sharon's new government in Israel will have to take into consideration the deep impasse in the Mideast conflict, says a papal nuncio.
"We must be honest," Archbishop Pietro Sambi, the nuncio in Israel, told Vatican Radio after the victory by the Likud Party in Tuesday's elections. "The Pope has pointed out four pillars on which peace is based: the first is truth, the second is justice, the third is love, and the fourth is liberty."
The present situation, in which "not only peace has disappeared from the horizon, but the horizon itself has disappeared," shows that the way chosen so far, that of violence, is wrong, the archbishop stressed.
He pointed out the courage of Christians who have decided to stay in the area. They can receive support in many ways, including from people who make pilgrimages to the holy places.
A pilgrimage is not only useful for one who undertakes it, but also "helps Christians who see that their brothers in the faith are present," the nuncio said.
"There has been no pilgrim martyr," Archbishop Sambi pointed out, rejecting the idea of danger as regards pilgrimages. "I have received several groups since Christmas ... none had problems."
There is great concern in the Holy Land over a possible war against Iraq, the nuncio said. A "war cannot be waged except in a case of extreme necessity, once all other means have been exhausted," he said. "In any event, war is always a defeat for humanity."

Lun, haven't read all your posts but i got a few suggestions:
Have you looked at the M1-ATX PSU from the mp3car site (or linITX has it soon for £50 or summit - guys from linITX, any chance on a cheap opus for recommending you to people) Have heard lots of good things from people who have got the M1 from the mp3car site. its 90W and has nice low input voltage for crank and good shutdown options.
As for the enabling the RCAs on your sony, where are oyu gettign that autoleads box from? I have seen it for about £44. I am building a unilink box that enables the aux ports and also allows you to control your PC from the HU and will hopefully send the track data to the HU screen. Jsut starting to build it now as i have located my PIC programmer and got an XR-C9100R off ebay.
Where in Liverpool are you from?
Nice car btw- saving for an Impreza.
EDIT you can build a simple circuit to kill the power after shutdown using a relay powered by the ign AND the PSU itself. Easy peasy.

D-Day vet: thinking about the war is when 'you start digging up (memories) you shouldn't'
BRUSH PRAIRIE, Wash. - Seventy years ago Howard Johansen was in a small boat, storming the beaches of Normandy alongside thousands of allied forces.
Johansen, now 92 years old, lives in Brush Prairie, Washington and clearly remembers almost every moment from that day.
"You try not to think more about it than you have to because when you start thinking that's when you start digging up everything you shouldn't," Johansen told KATU.
He was 22 years old June 6, 1944 and aboard a small boat within eyesight of Juno Beach.
"The first time we hit the shore was 7:30 in the morning."
Johansen said he saw many men die. Some drowned before reaching shore. He saw boats bombed and the bodies that surfaced. He remembered one man vividly, his body tangled in the destroyed remains of the boat.
"Seeing that ... God, that made us just want to die."
Talking about the war and that day keep him up at night, so he chooses to keep those memories to himself most days. He is proud of his service with the Navy, but humility defines this veteran who said, "I'd say we had a job to do and that was it."
