FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSJournal Entry: Tue Oct 30, 2007, 2:51 AM
OK, because I've been getting increasing amounts of questions about my stuff I've put together a FAQ. Hopefully it will prove useful Thanks for reading.
1 Q) Can I use your stock in a picture to be posted on Deviantart?A) YES! Anything that has "this is stock" in the description can be used inside of Deviantart by Deviantart members.
2 Q) Whats with the "active members of DA only" thing?A) With increasing frequency I have been getting requests from people who notice my stock on the internet and want to use it, who will then create an account on DA before noting me to ask if they can use it off the site. I DO check accounts you know. Empty/blank accounts immediately warn me off giving permission, firstly because my licensing gives permission for my stock to be used ONLY on DA unless you ask for specific permission (with links) after you have posted the work on DA, and secondly without an active membership on DA I have no way of keeping in contact with the users who utilise my stock in their work. (See FAQ below for further details)
3 Q) Can I use your stock on my personal site/blog/space etc?A) For artwork/manipulations that contain my stock and that have been posted to DA with credit, and a link sent to me so I can see it, yes you can then post that work on your own websites. I do require credit on those websites, and they are to be in a gallery NOT used as part of your websites overall layout/design. If you are posting to facebook you can tag me in your art, I am listed as Elandria Broughton-Sheard.
People who take unmanipulated stock and repost in their own sites/blogs/spaces (INCLUDING PHOTOBUCKET/IMAGESHACK ET AL AND FLICKR) etc are effectively redistributing my work without permission and when caught will be made to remove the stolen pictures immediately.
4 Q) Can I use your stock/artwork to make signature tags, web sets, tubes etc for my club/blog/space etc?A) NO. Not under ANY circumstances do I allow either my stock(manipulated or unmanipulated) or my artwork to be used in this manner at all. Anybody found using my stock/artwork outside of Deviantart in this manner will be told to remove the stolen art effective immediately, my artwork is NOT public domain, and my licence of use regarding my stock applies to deviantart members only.
5 Q) I'm an art student and really really really want to use your stock for my coursework with the results being displayed in my portfolio, in an end of year gallery display, on my personal website, on DA etc etc etc, please can you give me permission?Yes by all means you may use my stock, so long as you are an ACTIVE member of DeviantART (please see FAQ above for details) I still require you to post the work on DA with standard credits and the same in any other locations where the work is displayed. Please note me if you require an official model release for your coursework references etc.
6 Q) OMG You look just like my RP character/book character!! I want to use your stock for my characters pic on my RPG forum/blog/website/book, can I please oh please oh please!!!!?A) NO NO NO Not now not ever. I'm sorry. I believe that characters are very very personal things. I don't want to turn up in a new RP/book and see another character with my face. Its disturbing. If I find ANYBODY using any of my stock in this manner I will seriously hunt you down. No means no.
7 Q) Do you do stock requests?A) Yes, I do do requests, as long as time is permitting and so long as they aren't like the example below. Anything reasonable will be considered, but please bear in mind, that I don't get paid for making my costumes, and my fiance does not get paid for shooting my stock photography either. I also reserve the right to refuse requests at any time.
8 Q) Can you make this ... dress with this ... background?A) Do you have £100+ spare for the cost of the material? Making costumes of any description in the UK is expensive, not to mention that I have a job, a house to run, cats and fiancé to look after as well as an addiction to chocolate.
9 Q) Why don't you provide nude stock?A) There are plenty of other very very good stock providers on DA who do nude stock for example lockstock They will and remain better than me in that respect, its just not something I am interested in.
10 Q) Can I use your stock as pose/fabric references?A) YES! by all means, if using my stock helps then go right ahead! Please remember though I still ask that you credit the reference and send me a link to your artwork!
11 Q) I have used your stock as "reference" for my traditional/digital artwork and want to post it up on a different ART website to get crit etc, can I?A) Yes, so long as long as credit is given and the work is already posted to DA and notification is sent to me.
12 Q) I've made this ... manipulation with your stock, can I please have permission to make it into a print?A) Yes you can
I hereby grant all DeviantArtists permission to use my stock in any and all Deviant Prints without restriction.
You do not need to request permission, DA has a blanket email from myself. For prints etc outside of DA my rule of requesting permission still applies.
13 Q) I'm a dark artist and I want to cover you in blood and gore and icky stuff with knives.... is this ok?A) Yes you can. lol whatever floats your boat basically... so long as you also remember that I have feelings, and that my mother frequents my faves gallery.. please try not to give her nightmares! (Or me for that matter!) I also apologise in advance... dark art isn't my natural territory so if I only leave dumb ass comments that don't really make sense please don't take offence! Please however don't use my stock for racial/hate/porn style work. Thats a big nono and I will spank you
14 Q) Why are you completely paranoid about what happens to your stock?A) ... because I CARE about what happens to my stock.. its my face in those photos not just a hunk of stonework or something! I work incredibly hard to provide good quality usable stock, surely manippers and other users can appreciate that and work just as hard on the artwork they create with it? I'm proud of what I've accomplished, and asking permission/letting me know you've used it takes seconds... and also gives me warm fuzzies... there's a general consensus that stock providers should be "grateful" that our stock is being used... that's bollocks quite frankly and makes me laugh. I provide stock because I'm nice, because I want to give something to the community, but I don't have to... its not a given that I have to provide any stock at all, so please don't presume that you can take it and do what then hell you want with it. A little bit of thought, respect and consideration works wonders...
15 Q) I want to use some of your stock, but the size/resolution is too low, do you have bigger versions?A) Yes, many are already available in my scraps section, and if not, please note me with the title of the one you need larger.
16 Q) You have lots of poses that seem to be the same, do you provide any "action" stock?A) Not having been trained in any way shape or form I am on a learning curve. Its also very hard to prance around in a dress that has over 15 yards of material to it lol. This is something I am working on though and hopefully there will be an improvement.
17 Q) Do you do "couple" stock?A) Not right now, but maybe in the future
18 Q) As much as I love your stock, I need stuff for background work, do you have any shots without you in them?A) Yes I do you can find them located in my locations stock folder AND in Dreamers-of-Avalon
19 Q) I have a ball/fete/wedding/fayre to go to and want you to make me a costume...A) Unfortunately there are not enough hours in the day for me to accept general commissions, as flattering as it is that you think my costumes are good enough. If you are serious about hiring me to make you a dress or corset please note me or email me directly for details and quotes on my website here - LACED-WAISTS
20 Q) I want to make my own costumes, how do you make yours, are there any patterns/tips you can give me?A) Best thing to do is note me with more detail on what you want to make, but I'm more than happy to pass on links and info and tips to interested members.
21 Q) OK this is all very interesting but what EXACTLY are your rules for using stock?You can find a complete journal on my rules here
22 Q) I have a burning need to have a question answered that isn't on this list, how can I get the answer?A) Its called a note or a comment lol, and anything thats valid will be added here.

I am currently working on an interactive novel with a Graphic Novel Engine. Some of your location stock would be absolutely perfect as a background in some of the scenes. They will only be cropped and not altered in any other way. Is it OK to use your stock in that way?
I'm sorry, in that case it wouldn't be possible for me to give permission for that. Images need to be significantly edited/altered and also in some cases if its for commercial use you would need to pay for a location release licence from the owners of the buildings.
Me encantan tus fotos!!!

i read your release terms and it said to contact you before using it for outside/paid work so i wanted to see if you would allow me to use this for the cd artwork i am doing? i will not be getting paid for the work by the band as i am just doing it for my friend's small local band... but it would be really awesome if you allowed me to use this picture as it just fits so well!
thank you!

Hmmmm methinks #12 needs to be redone in bright, clear, bold, very large words especially for the hard of thinking
Pfft. Lanny, you say it is hard to prance around in a dress with over 15 yards of material!!! What ever are you talking about??
Are you any closer to getting Causty dressed up, yet? (Sorry that I have been a horrible fan recently)

...I have a hard enough time not falling over just wearing jeans lol... clumsy is not the word
Lovely new stock photos! You're such a beautiful gal!!
"has an obsession with chocolate"
I get you. It IS your face that is put in artwork, and if that work is degrading in anyway, it's your face in it. You wouldn't want your face in something encouraging suicide or anything...

Yup, I think some people really forget that I'm a living breathing chocolate eating lanny behind all the photos and costumes :S
What's your favorite chocolate?
Has to be Cadbury Dairy Milk I'm not a dark chocolate lover to be honest but I do also love swiss cow choccy heheh I don't get chance to get much of that unless my parents are making a trip over to france to see the family lol
the rules are very simple and clear
You have requests for nude stock??? And your mum frequents your gallery?? *bits lip to keep from laughing* You live in an interesting world, Lanny.
lol i kid you not.... I had a note only the other day which I sent to Causty to cheer him up... basically the content was "you should take stock in your knickers..." lol we had a good laugh and I was very very tempted to reply with "why?"
(could be worse... could be my dad lol >.<
(could be worse... could be my dad lol >.<
I know I bug Causty to do nude stock but I really desperately don't want to see him without clothes on. It would be a traumatic experience. I'm sorry that you are having to deal with people who mean it for real.
Mum would be totally better then dad!! My dad joined dA to comment on my work, it's kinda scary sometimes.

It doesn't really bother me so much when people are nice about it, its when you get the truly weird ones who come across as being 50 year old pervs kinda make you think about giving up the whole standing in front of a camera thing... >.<
Great to see all this information. Our community stock artists should be respected, not abused.
Thanks honey! I worry that I end up going off on tangents and having a bit of a rant lol >.<
Nice to see the rules updated
Useful to be able to use your stocks without make any mistake ^^
Your stock is awesome! And your rules are nice and prezise

I'm half tempted to print this out and put it up at the local cemetery.
= What else needs to be said?
OH! Give him his space people! This guy is a professional at his craft...
HAHHA.XD just gota picture of a guy wanted to place flowers on his mothers grave and it was full of buildingfences around and a gate that some guy locked and that sign on it. Right infront of that guy.xD
Makes me giggle....where are the dreads? T_T
i wish it was an actual sign--it would hang on my wall
AHAHAHA!! XD That's great. And I mean, they should have a sign, since grave robbing is such hard work and they never get any appreciation. Another good one.

*faves and then goes to pass out from laughing-enduced lack of air*
Looks like something I would hang up in my locker XD

Them squares just made me looser and that wax just made me lazy
Lyric Meaning
It's a play on words, a single square, (cigarette), in Chicago are referred to as "looseys" or "loose squares", which Chance has said before. He smokes squares to mellow him out. Also a "square" is a boring person, so if he's around a square he looks that much cooler.
THC concentrated wax, originating from the female cannabis plant, is another way to get high and it's very potent. The high from it is what got him lazy, like all weed usually does.

Glenlivet 16 Year Old Nadurra
70cl / 57.7%
Batch 1007D
- Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
- Distillery Bottling
Glenlivet 16 Year Old Nadurra Reviews
20 Customer Reviews
amazing! Loved it.
For the price this is an outstanding Malt. I take on board the suggestions of 5ml (or as taste likes) of water. My favourite way to accommodate this suggestion is with the use of an ice cube, the best way is to make the ice from bottled water, preferably highland, water from the same region! More than a single measure otherwise the water (melting ice) will wash away the flavour. Drink slowly over the ice, and top up if becomes too watered. Then don't drive!
Add one teaspoon (5ml) of water to one measure for the Glenlivet Distillery recommended blend. The water releases the flavours giving you the full taste. If pre-watered down the flavours lose their strength over time.
I had really high hopes for this but I was disappointed. Too much chill-filtering going on generally but this is not what you want as an example. Far from rich, this was just sharp. It claws. Without the drop of water it's just unpalatable. Best Glenlivet IMHO is the 1995 15yr old non-chillfiltered on the left there. I would encourage you all to have a dabble on Tomintoul, the 14yr non-chilfiltered is a marvellous dram!
absolutely delicious !! love it. ...sure is the best in this price range! Its a taste i havent forgotten!
If you add just a tiny bit of pure water to the glass you will allow much more flavour to be released as you cannot taste up to this, high level of alcohol. This is a fabulous whiskey that is substantially better than many over twice the price. I would recommend this to anyone.
mmm thats right....
A lovely golden colour and lush cream soda
After tasting in Scotland, I am spoiled by it's smooth and delicious taste. It is very potent but at home, that is alright once in a while. Another good choice is Johnnie Walker Green Label, a bit gentler but also something to be savored with friends and family.
I tasted the 48% edition and it was a bit too bourbonny for me. I could not feel any white chocolat there neither. I'd describe it as a more rounded 12yo with lesser fruit aromas. It is elegant but a bit bland for me. Maybe the 58% edition is better?

Should I book if I have not heard back from the host?
We understand how exciting planning a trip can be, as well as how frustrating it can be if you don't hear back from a host right away. On average, hosts reply to messages within a few hours. Keep in mind that you may be in different time zones or the host may not have Internet access at the moment.
Generally, we recommend messaging a host by clicking Contact Host before submitting your reservation request. This allows you to ask about availability and anything else you might want to know. Then you can book with confidence, knowing that the host has availability and will accept your request. Once a host has confirmed their availability, you can go ahead and submit your reservation request.
If a host hasn't responded, consider reaching out to other hosts in the area. You can message as many hosts as you'd like, so it's up to them to respond to you in a timely fashion or risk losing their chance at having you as a guest. Unless you're planning on renting multiple locations for the same dates, make sure you do not submit more than one reservation request at a time, as you may end up booking multiple reservations during the same time period.
If you already submitted a reservation request and want to cancel it, as long as it has not yet been accepted, you can retract the request without penalty.

February Travel News
Hi from Rick: Why Not Cuba?
Cuba isn't Europe. But it's suddenly a great travel option, just 90 miles off the coast of Florida. Americans are now allowed to travel there...and so a tsunami of change will soon submerge the time-warp and idealistic charms of this mysterious island. Cuba is a country in transition, so I just had to visit now. And I'm eager to share my experience — as I will over the next two weeks with 30 posts from my trip on my blog and Facebook page.
While Cuba's classic 1950s-era American cars (a result of the isolation brought about by the US trade embargo) are fun to see any time of day, at night the glint of 60-year-old chrome gives the scene a time-passed elegance... Read more

text: Microchip/Micrel MIC9416x high-side load switches are designed to operate from 1.7V to 5.5V input voltage. The load switch pass element is an internal 14.5mO RDSON N-Channel MOSFET which enables the device to support up to 3A of continuous current. Additionally, the load switch supports 1.5V logic level control and shutdown features in a tiny 1.5mm × 1mm 6-ball WLCSP package. The MIC9416x provides reverse current protection when the device is disabled. The device will not allow the flow of current from the output to the input when it is turned off and provides low quiescent current and low shutdown current to maximize battery life. The Microchip/Micrel MIC9416x features over voltage protection to protect the load when the input voltage is above 4.55V as well as a precise enable threshold which keeps it in the default off state until the EN pin rises above 1.15V. The MIC9416x operating voltage range makes them ideal for Lithium-ion and NiMH/NiCad/Alkaline battery-powered systems, as well as non-battery-powered applications.


text: has subjected its strategy to that of civilian leaders; because civilian leaders did not respond appropriately to early-warning signals from the military; and because the military forces, not civilian authorities, were the victims of the initial guerrilla attack. Differences in opinion between the civilian and military leadership and within the political leadership itself as to what strategy the government should pursue readily became apparent. The longer Mexico's leadership delays in attacking serious economic and social problems, the more likely it is that the military will be called on to resolve violent disputes.

Whenever someone in recent months questioned Microsoft's intention to make Windows 8 its tablet OS, the company would emphatically point to surveys showing that users actually wanted Windows-based tablets. A new Forester Research report however, claims that consumer interest in Windows tablets has declined sharply in the last six months. According to the report, Microsoft may have missed the boat on the tablet market.
Back in the first quarter of 2011, a Forester survey found that 46% of consumers wanted a tablet device running Windows. That certainly buoyed Redmond's spirits. The new numbers show that only 25% of consumers are interested in what Microsoft is selling. if Microsoft has really passed the peak of interest in its tablet products, its sluggishness may have just ceded the market to Apple, Google, and others.
In general, Forester is confident that Windows 8 will do well, but that says nothing about the tablet market. If Microsoft is unable to get Windows 8 on tablets until mid-2012, there might be no one left to notice that doesn't have their nose buried in an iPad or Android tablet.

Kansas cruises to easy blowout of Niagara
Associated Press
Rivals.com College Basketball
CHICAGO - No first-round exit for Kansas this time.
The fast-breaking and top-seeded Jayhawks took care of that early Friday night, running out to a 25-point halftime lead and routing Niagara 107-67 in the West Regional.
Sent to the sidelines by first-round losses against Bucknell and Bradley the last two seasons, Kansas (31-4) was too fast, too deep and too talented for the Purple Eagles.
And when they weren't running for points, coach Bill Self's Jayhawks were sinking shots from long range with ease in winning their 12th straight game.
When Mario Chalmers hit two 3-pointers and Russell Robinson added another to open the second half, the Jayhawks had a 61-33 lead. Then it was pretty much showtime.
The lead went to 81-40 with 10 minutes remaining after another steal and fast-break basket by Chalmers. A dunk by reserve Brady Morningstar with 3:44 left gave the Jayhawks 101 points.
Niagara (23-12), which beat Florida A&M 77-69 in Tuesday's play-in game at Dayton, had a 12-game winning streak ended after a busy week of travel.
Chalmers led Kansas - making its 18th straight and 36th overall appearance in the NCAA tournament - with 19 points. Charron Fisher paced 16th-seeded Niagara with 17.
The Jayhawks also got 16 points, eight assists and five steals from Robinson and 15 points, six assists and four steals from Sherron Collins, a former three-sport prep star in Chicago. Kansas had five players in double figures.
Played at the breakneck pace that is to the Jayhawks' liking, Kansas opened up a 12-point lead with the quick defense of Robinson and Collins generating the break. Julian Wright, another former Chicago-area prep star who finished with 10 points and 10 rebounds, converted a three-point play after a fast break. Brandon Rush scored again at the end of another break.
Collins' 3-pointer and Wright's left-handed follow gave the Jayhawks a 15-point cushion with 3 minutes left in the half. The lead grew to 50-27 in a hurry when Collins hit a 3 and Rodrick Stewart converted a three-point play after he was fouled on the break.
Kansas had a 27-15 edge in points off turnovers and 27-12 margin in fast-break points. The Jayhawks shot 54 percent for the game to 32 percent for the Purple Eagles, who were hurt by 21 turnovers.

And what would a proactive CDC mean if government operated health insurance? No, I don't believe Washington would deploy a phalanx of grinning, twisted doctors to perform coerced circumcisions. But when the CDC dispenses medical advice of the "universal" brand, it's difficult to accept that a government-run public insurance outfit wouldn't heed advice and act accordingly.
What if the CDC, through meticulous study, were to realize that circumcision is an entirely worthless procedure? Why would "we" waste $400 a pop? Would the CDC campaign to "universally remove" the operation from hospitals? Today, incidentally, government-run Medicaid doesn't pay for the procedure in 16 states. Most private insurers, on the other hand, do.
Though dismissed by public-option proponents, this is an example of how government persuasion can influence our decisions -- first by nudging and then, inevitably, by rationing.
The larger, more pertinent point for today is that government has zero business running campaigns -- and these things inevitably turn into scaremongering efforts -- that try to influence our choices regarding our children and our bodies. Especially when the procedure has so little to do with society's collective health. Circumcision is a personal choice.
Well, a personal choice for everyone except that poor little sucker lying on the chopping block.

The Lotus Elise is a two-seat, rear-wheel drive, mid-engined roadster conceived in early 1994 and released in September 1996 by the British manufacturer Lotus Cars. The car has a hand-finished fibreglass body shell atop its bonded extruded aluminium chassis that provides a rigid platform for the suspension, while keeping weight and production costs to a minimum. The roadster is capable of speeds up to 240 km/h (150 mph).[4] The Elise was named after Elisa, the granddaughter of Romano Artioli who was chairman of Lotus and Bugatti at the time of the car's launch.[5]

|1,719 mm (67.7 in)
|1,202 mm (47.3 in)
|Kerb weight
|725 kg (1,598.4 lb) ~ 755 kg (1,664 lb)[3][6]
The 1996 Lotus Elise weighed 725 kg (1,598 lb).[6] Because of this low weight, it was able to accelerate 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 5.8 seconds despite its relatively low power output of 118 bhp (88 kW; 120 PS).[3] Braking, cornering, and fuel consumption are also improved by the car's reduced weight.
Series 1 was designed by Julian Thomson, then head of design at Lotus, and Richard Rackham, Lotus's chief engineer.[7]
Besides the standard higher-performance variants listed below, Lotus also released some limited edition models such as Sport 135 (1998/9) with approx 145 bhp (108 kW; 147 PS), Sport 160 (2000) with 150–160 bhp (112–119 kW; 152–162 PS), and Sport 190 (190 bhp (142 kW; 193 PS)). These were more competent on track with sports suspension, wheels and tyres, seats according to model. There were other special editions such as the 50th Anniversary Edition (green/gold) celebrating 50 years of Lotus cars, the Type 49 ("Gold Leaf" red and white two-tone), and Type 79 ("JPS" black/gold) which refers to its successful Grand Prix car type numbers.
The Series 1 Lotus Elise was briefly assembled on a dedicated assembly line at Proton's factory between 1997 and 2000. The Malaysian-assembled Elise costs less than its British-assembled counterpart as it was manufactured with more Malaysian-sourced components.[1] Proton and Lotus had also marketed the Malaysian-assembled Elise to several Asian markets, including Japan.[2] However, parent-company Proton had been severely affected by the 1997 Asian financial crisis, which brought an early end to the Malaysian assembly of the Lotus Elise in late 2000, only 3 years after it commenced and with an estimated 150 units sold.[1] The last Malaysian-assembled Elise was delivered in December 2002.[2]
A faster edition called the 111S, named after the Lotus type-number of the Elise (Type 111), was introduced in early 1999 and had a VVC Rover K-Series engine with a modified head and VVT technology, producing a declared 143 bhp (107 kW; 145 PS) rather than the standard Rover 1.8 L K-series 118 bhp (88 kW; 120 PS) inline-four unit, along with a closer ratio manual gearbox and lower ratio final drive. It also had more padding in the seats. The 111S had headlamp covers, rear spoiler, cross drilled brake discs, alloy window winders and a six-spoke road wheel design.[8]
In 2000, the 340R limited edition model, based on a Series 1 Elise was introduced. This roofless car was a special edition, limited to only 340 cars being built. The name 340 originally referred to the 340 bhp/tonne (254 kW/tonne) power-to-weight ratio of the original prototype which had 177 bhp (132 kW; 179 PS) while weighing just 500 kg (1,100 lb). However, in production models the 340 refers to the number of cars built. The final production versions weighed 701 kg (1,545 lb) and had a power-to-weight ratio of (269 bhp/tonne). A "Track Pack" was created that upped power to 192 bhp (143 kW; 195 PS) and weighed only 571 kg (1,259 lb).
In 2000, Lotus introduced the Exige — a hardtop version of the Elise with the 177 bhp (132 kW; 179 PS) engine from the 340R; as well as different front and rear body "clamshells", larger wheels, and a rear wing. Many models received an upgrade to 190 bhp (142 kW; 193 PS) with better driveability due to changes to ECU and cam timing.

The Series 1 could not be produced beyond the 2000 model production year due to new European crash sustainability regulations, so Lotus needed a development partner to meet the investment requirement for a Series 2 car. General Motors offered to fund the project, in return for a badged and GM-engined version of the car for their European brands, Opel and Vauxhall.
The Series 2 Elise, announced on 9 October 2000, was a redesigned Series 1 using a slightly modified version of the Series 1 chassis to meet the new regulations, and the same K-series engine with a brand new Lotus-developed ECU. The design of the body paid homage to the earlier M250 concept, and was the first Lotus to be designed by computer.[clarification needed]
Both the Series 2 Elise and the Opel Speedster/Vauxhall VX220 were built on the same production line, in a new facility at Hethel. Both cars shared many parts, including the chassis, although they had different drive-trains and power-plants. The VX220 carried the Lotus internal model identification Lotus 116, with the code name Skipton for the launch 2.2N/A version and Tornado for the 2004 introduced 2.0 L Turbo. Fitted with 17 inch over the Elise's 16 inch front wheels, the Vauxhall/Opel version ceased production in late 2005 and was replaced by the Opel GT for February 2007, with no RHD version for the United Kingdom.
The Series 2 was also available as a 111S model, with the VVC engine technology producing 160 hp (119 kW). The 111S models were discontinued in 2005 in favour of the Toyota powerplant (see below), mainly due to Lotus plans to introduce the Elise to the US market, which needed the Toyota engine to comply with the emissions regulations in the USA. The K-series Engine did not meet the regulatory standards, as MG Rover did not sell cars in the US.
Two more track-focused models, the 135R and Sport 190, were available with 135 bhp (101 kW; 137 PS) and 192 bhp (143 kW; 195 PS) respectively. These also came with associated handling upgrades such as Lotus Sport Suspension and wider wheels with Yokohama Advan A048 tyres. In certain markets, the 135R was replaced by the "Sport 111", which was similar, apart from sporting the 156 bhp (116 kW; 158 PS) VVC engine in place of the 135 bhp (101 kW; 137 PS) tuned K-series.
111R / Federal Elise[edit]
This Series 2 Elise model comes in a European 111R version or a version sold in North America, called the Federal Elise. It is powered by the all-aluminium 189 horsepower (141 kW) 1.8L DOHC Toyota ZZ engine with a Yamaha designed twin-cam head offering variable valve timing on both intake and exhaust valvetrain, and a 6speed manual Lotus gearbox. The Series 2 model is acclaimed as the best version of the Elise to date, with tremendous performance numbers. Many tests show 0–60 miles per hour (97 km/h) in approximately 4.9 seconds, or 4.7 seconds with the Sport Package. The engine management computer is a Lotus programmed unit.
The 2005 Lotus Elise was the first to be sold commercially in the United States, in the summer of 2004. Approval for the Elise, however, required intervention by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) which provided a three-year exemption for the car, as it had failed to meet US bumper and headlight regulations. The first-year model suffered from a few flaws, most notably a design flaw in the headlamps that magnified the sun's light, allowing the inside of the lamp housings to be melted by the sun.[15]
This model was followed up by the 2006 Model Year Elise 111R and SportRacer models. Lotus made a limited edition (50 in the US) version called the Lotus Sport Elise. 2006 models differ from the 2005 models in a few aspects. 2006 models sport LED tail lights, drive by wire (an updated ECU), improved fuel consumption, and more comfortable ProBax seats.
For the 2007 model year Lotus several minor changes were made. The LOTUS decals on the rear of the vehicle, previously flat stickers, were replaced by raised lettering. The headlamp units were sealed. Also, in order to comply with US Federally mandated bumper restrictions, the frontal crash structure was slightly changed and rear bumperettes were added next to the licence plate mount. Approximately 100 2007 model year "launch" cars were shipped to the US without these bumper changes. Also in 2007, the Elise S was released and the 111R renamed Elise R. All Lotus Elise cars manufactured after January 1, 2007 include the new headlights and 2.5 mph (4.0 km/h) bumpers, although they are hidden in the front.
The Elise S is the new base model with a Toyota sourced 1.8 L engine replacing the previous models K series Rover engine. The 2ZZ-GE engine produces 189 bhp (141 kW; 192 PS) at 6,200 rpm (a considerable increase over the 120 bhp or 89 kW or 122 PS of the Rover engine). The inclusion of airbags, ABS brakes, electric windows, and carpet in addition to the new heavier engine has increased the base weight to 860 kg (1,896 lb) (approximately 85 kg or 187 lb higher than the previous S model).
2008 models[edit]
For 2008, there were several additions to the Lotus line-up. There are three versions of the Elise. Lotus continued to provide a naturally aspirated Elise producing 189 hp (141 kW). The second version is the Elise SC sporting a non-intercooled supercharger producing 218 hp (163 kW). 0-60 mph is reduced from 4.9 for the base Elise or 4.7 seconds for the Elise with Sport package to 4.3 seconds for the Elise SC. The NA Elise styling is similar to the prior model years. The Elise SC, however, is distinguishable from the NA version by a rear spoiler identical to the Type 72-D edition spoiler and new wheels. Weight remained a Lotus-claimed 1,987 lb (901 kg); just 3 pounds (1.4 kg) more than the previous year. Prior to the release of the 2008 Elise SC, the limited production California Edition arrived at dealerships. A total of fifty California Edition Elises were produced; 25 in Saffron Yellow and 25 in Ardent Red. The interiors of the Cali's were produced in a light two-tone leather (Biscuit) and the exterior modifications included a silver front grille (a nod to vintage-Ferrari), body-colored shutter grills on the side inlets and engine cover, enhanced 16-spoke wheels, and a large spoiler that covers the upper-rear deck (72-D style). The Cali's were intended to appeal to "the lifestyle market."[16]
In Europe, there are three models available; the Elise S with a 134 bhp (100 kW; 136 PS), 1.8L Toyota 1ZZ-FE engine and 5 speed manual gearbox (0-60 mph in 5.8 s, top speed 127 mph (204 km/h)); the Elise R with a 189 bhp (141 kW; 192 PS), 1.8 L Toyota 2ZZ-GE engine and 6-speed manual gearbox (0-60 mph in 4.9s, top speed 148 mph (238 km/h)); and the Elise SC with a 218 bhp (163 kW; 221 PS), supercharged, 1.8L Toyota 2ZZ-GE, 6 speed manual gearbox and a spoiler (0-60 mph in 4.3s, top speed 150 mph (240 km/h)).[17]
Several new colour options for 2008 were brought to the marketplace. These include new metallic colours (additional $590) Persian Blue and Liquid Blue; new Lifestyle colour (additional $1200) Isotope Green; new Limited Colour Level (additional $3,300) Candy Red, Ice White, and Burnt Orange; and the new Exclusive Colour Level (additional $5,100) Prism Green and Moonstone Silver. The following colours were discontinued for 2008: Nightfall Blue, Aubergine Purple, Magnetic Blue, Polar Blue, Autumn Gold, Chili Red, and Krypton Green.

In February 2010, Lotus unvieled a facelifted version of the second generation Elise. The new headlights are now single units; triangular in shape they are somewhat larger than the earlier lights. The cheapest version in Europe now has a 1.6 litre engine to comply with Euro 5 emissions, with the same power output as the earlier 1.8 136 PS (100 kW; 134 hp).[18] The 1.8 litre Elise comes standard with a Magnuson R900 supercharger making 220 PS (162 kW; 217 hp).
US Model[edit]
The 2011 model was the last offered for street legal sale in the United States when the waiver from the United States Government's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for Lotus to build and sell cars in the US without smart airbags expired in August 2011.[19] It was also the only Elise to use the Toyota 2ZZ-GE motor in the 2011 model year.
Elise Concept[edit]
The Elise's successor, the third generation of Elise, first appeared at the 2010 Paris Motor Show as the "Lotus Elise Concept" in the autumn of that year, and was set to be launched within the next couple of years. The car would be heavier, and would have a considerably more powerful 2.0-litre engine.[20] It appears now that this project will not go ahead.[21]

The Series 2 Exige comes with the same high revving Toyota 1.8L engine and six speed gearbox as the Elise 111R, replacing the Rover K-series engine of the previous Exige.
The Series 2 Exige has been followed by the limited-edition Lotus Sport Exige 240R, incorporating a Lotus-developed supercharger atop the Lotus engine. The US Federalized version with the supercharger fitted is known as the Exige S 240.
Zytek Lotus Elise[edit]
The Zytek Lotus Elise is an electric sports car that was jointly produced by Lotus and Zytek from 1998 until it was discontinued in 2003.
Its 70 kilograms (150 lb) extruded aluminium space frame and lightweight composite body shell are factors in its low kerb weight of 875 kilograms (1,929 lb). 250 nickel-cadmium batteries provide 300 volts (at full charge) to two Zytek oil-cooled brushless DC motors, which deliver a total power of 150 kW (200 hp) and torque of 100 N·m (74 lb·ft). These motors are each mated to a single-speed, fixed ratio transmission with an aluminium gear. Its acceleration time from 30 to 70 miles per hour (48 to 113 km/h) is 5 seconds, and from 0 to 90 miles per hour (140 km/h), 11.2 seconds. The car is governor-limited to 90 miles per hour (140 km/h) to conserve charge. The range per charge is typically 100 to 120 miles (160 to 190 km) and the car can be re-charged within an hour.
There is an example of the Zytek Elise on display at the Heritage Motor Centre.

Friday roll call: Only Gronkowski missing
Posted by Shalise Manza Young, Globe Staff December 7, 2012 12:58 PM
The Patriots are practicing on the upper grass fields today (the fields used during training camp) and wearing shells and sweats.
Nick McDonald returned to practice, which means that Rob Gronkowski was the only player not present during the media-access portion of practice.
New England will practice again on Saturday due to the Monday night game.

In the two decades since, Mr. Najib has written numerous letters to the imam and the board of directors, expressing deep concern with the mosque's extremist positions. He distributed the letters to other congregants, but had been unable to gain support. Since 9/11, however, his criticisms, have been printed in the Chicago Tribune and other local papers. Mr. Najib's last letter, dated February 2005, in which he threatened a lawsuit, came on the heels of a local bank closing the mosque's account. Bridgeview had sent $10,000 to the Islamic American Relief Agency, which was later designated a terrorist organization by the Treasury Department.
This was not the first instance of the mosque's questionable donations. Between 1991 and 2001, the mosque gave a total of almost $400,000 to three Islamic charities: the Global Relief Foundation, the Holy Land Foundation and the Benevolence International Foundation. All had offices near the mosque and shared many of its leaders. When the charities were closed after 9/11 for financing terrorist activities, the mosque leaders thumbed their noses at the government, re-electing GRF officer Mohamed Chehade to its board and hiring Kifah Mustapha, who had run the Chicago-area HLF office, as its new prayer leader.
Other prominent members of Bridgeview have ties to terrorist groups too. Muhammad Salah, who was on the mosque's executive committee until 1993, is under house arrest, pending trial on charges of laundering millions to fund Hamas. Bridgeview's imam was the treasurer in the mid-'90s for Al Aqsa Educational fund, described by the FBI as a front for Hamas. The list goes on.
Mr. Najib is disturbed not only by the external ties of the mosque to these terrorist groups but also by the culture inside Bridgeview. "I have never heard one word of criticism--and I have been going there 25 years--of Wahhabism, the Taliban or suicide bombings." A strong supporter of the Palestinian cause and of a Palestinian state, Mr. Najib is nonetheless careful to voice support for peaceful resistance. He states unequivocally, "I am against all suicide bombings."
Mr. Najib has waged five campaigns in recent years to regain the board seat he lost in 1984. Each has been unsuccessful, at least partly because the board rigs the elections by handpicking the small fraction of members allowed to vote.
Notwithstanding Mr. Najib's protests, the current leadership seems quite popular. An estimated 2,000 people attend Friday prayers, a 20-fold increase from 1983. The ever-expanding contingent of mosque-goers appears to consist largely of fundamentalists in sync with the leadership's worldview, which seeks a return to "pure Islam" and preaches withdrawal from secular society. By Mr. Najib's count, the majority of men at the mosque have religious beards and almost every woman is covered from head-to-toe. Stepping foot through the door, he says, "is like walking inside the Taliban."
While most Americans believe--or, at least, hope--that all but a handful of their Muslim countrymen find radical Islam noxious, Mr. Najib's tale is not encouraging. Not only has no one at the mosque publicly backed his reform efforts but "you can count on less than two hands the number of people who have supported me privately," Mr. Najib laments. "It's been a lonely fight."

Comments about Smart Destinations Chicago Children's Museum:
We live in the burbs outside Chicago, and our kids love coming here. Our oldest (10) always thinks he is too old, but then gets here and has a fabulous time. This place is all about kids DOING stuff, jumping, playing, building, making art. Bring extra clothes if they like to play in the fun waterway area - our kids always get soaked! My five year old naps in the car on the way home, every time.

Comments about Smart Destinations Chicago Children's Museum:
This attraction is best for kids 10 & under (and that may be pushing it). My son was 9 and had a good time there but there were quite a few exhibits that were on the juvenile side so he didn't participate in them. He really enjoyed the water world area and the structure construction area. It was nice to visit a place where kids can touch things and not worry about damaging anything.

no.....its just a beta windows 7 system file...but you can use the resources [using Restorater or Resource hacker]
Thanks for sharing!
same question for XP
So if I were to take (explorer.exe, authui.dll, basebrd.dll, browseui.dll, ieframe.dll, imageres.dll, moreicons.dll, shell32.dll, wmp.dll, wmploc.dll, zipdldr.dll) and copy and paste these into my system32 directory, my system would boot perfectly?
You know warez ain't allowed right?
yes....thank you.......but it is just for sharing...
well will it work with the simple replacer.exe?
so if i take this and use the dll to replace the boring XP ones...would that work...
don't replace directly with xp...or you end up with a faulty operating system....use a resource editor such as Reshack then Extract and replace from each resource file.....such as new icons from imagreres.dll
######If you don't have any Idea about how extract or replace resources then please don't do it########

Could I take all of these resources and implement them into windows vista?

Our searchable tool has been updated to include final responses from 48 state attorneys general and 41 state health departments about a wide range of issues involving abortion. The additional responses support our earlier analysis—that abortion in the United States is overwhelmingly safe and highly regulated.
A case in Wisconsin further illustrates the recent trend of states policing pregnant women in the name of fetal rights, and it would appear the U.S. Catholic bishops had a role in the federal government shutdown.
Your story, of your family struggling to make ends meet, and of the lack of education about sexual and reproductive health, is all too common for young Latinas all over this country—though it's not always a story that is spoken of out loud.
Las Vegas Review Journal contributor Sherman Frederick penned a column claiming that state legislators are pushing a new bill seeking to bolster sex education in Nevada because they believe "Nevada girls are easy."
This week, a federal judge blasted the Obama administration on emergency contraception, and the battle over Arkansas' 12-week abortion ban heated up.
Nevada's largest public school district has resolved a civil rights complaint that it was discriminating against girls by failing to provide equal opportunities in athletics.
ICYMI: Nevada Senator Comes Out During Gay Marriage Debate
Before voting on a resolution that would repeal Nevada's heterosexual definition of marriage, state Sen. Kelvin Atkinson came out to his fellow lawmakers, telling them, "I'm gay." The resolution, Senate Joint Resolution 13, passed 12-9 and now moves on to the state Assembly for a vote. Atkinson, a Democrat, represents North Las Vegas.
After a bad week for sex ed last week, there's some good news as Nevada's assembly passes a law to expand and improve sexuality education in the state.
The anti-choice legal group leaves out a few simple facts when they tout their "win" in Nevada.
Taking a lesson from the 2012 election results, the state's Tea Party activists are lookign to be less rigid in the upcoming cycle.


text: Many people complain about sensationalism in the press. If a man slaughters his entire family, a jilted lover kills her erstwhile boyfriend, or a high school student murders several of his classmates, it's going to be "all over the news." But it's hard to blame the press, exclusively at least. Joy Wiltenburg's Crime & Culture in Early Modern Germany (University of Virginia Press, 2012) suggests (to me at least), that those who criticize the press for sensationalism have cause and effect reversed: the press doesn't cause demand for sensational stories, the people who buy the press do. When the "press" first emerged in the sixteenth century, "demand" for "if it bleeds, it leads" style reporting seems to have been already quite developed. There's just something emotionally compelling about a man who chops up his family. The early modern Germans wanted to read about and so do we. Joy explains why.

Frank Golden
Thanks, very much, and good morning, and thank you for joining us as we report our results for the third quarter. We'll begin today with Thomson Reuters CEO, Tom Glocer, who'll be followed by our CFO, Bob Daleo. Following Tom's and Bob's presentations, we'll open the call for questions. I'd ask that you please limit yourselves to one question each, so that we can get to as many as possible.
Now throughout today's presentation, keep in mind that when we compare performance period on period, we look at revenue growth rates before currency as we believe that this provides the best basis to measure the underlying performance of the business.
Today's presentation does contain forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially due to a number of risks and uncertainties discussed in reports and filings that we provide to the regulatory agencies. You can access these documents on our website or by contacting our Investor Relations Department. It's now my pleasure to introduce the Chief Executive Officer of Thomson Reuters, Tom Glocer.
Thomas Glocer
Thank you, Frank, and thanks to everyone for joining us today. I'm pleased to report that the company returned to revenue growth in the third quarter. We're past the bottom and on the way back up. Our markets are slowly improving, and we're encouraged by what we're seeing in the business, revenue growth, positive net sales and strong customer uptake of our new products.
For Q3, revenues were up 3% with both divisions recording growth. The Professional division's revenues grows 5%, and growth was good across each of Professional business units, with the Tax & Accounting and Healthcare & Science businesses, achieving particularly strong results. Legal revenues were up 3%, it's best performance in almost two years in what continues to be a challenging environment for law firms. Nevertheless, we continue to believe our growth rates exceed those of our peers and the industry as a whole. The Markets division returned to growth in Q3 on the back of improving sales trends. This quarter marked the second consecutive quarter of positive net sales, which has steadily improved from their bottom in Q2 2009, and these trends bode well for continued revenue growth in Q4 and 2011.
Underlying operating profit declined 4% for the firm as a whole, primarily due to ongoing product investment, product mix and the dilutive effect of acquisitions. We continue to believe we'll meet our full year operating margin guidance of low 20% margins, and we're making good progress on our integration program, with run rate savings exceeding $1.3 billion, and we remain confident that we'll achieve our previously announced goal of $1.6 billion by year end 2011.
Adjusted earnings per share for the quarter was $0.49 compared to $0.43 in the prior period, helped by lower integration-related cost and lower interest expense and a decline in income tax expense. Lastly, we continued to be confident that we'll achieve our full year 2010 outlook, given the year-to-date results and the favorable trends in the business. In fact, we now expect our revenue performance to be slightly better than previously forecast, with revenues flat to slightly up for the full year versus flat to slightly down before.
All in all, the third quarter was a period of continuing solid execution, with positive net sales, the launch of new product platforms and steady progress on the integration programs. Trends in the Legal business continued to improve. Revenue growth of 3% was driven by an 8% increase in subscription revenues, thanks to good growth at FindLaw, IP business and the international Legal businesses. WestlawNext sales, now at 9,000 positions, continued to be strong, helping to drive growth and further strengthen our competitive position. And for the first nine months of the year, net sales for prints are up compared to a decline in the prior year period, as print attrition is close to historical levels, some 9%.
Tax & Accounting and Healthcare & Science continued to perform well as revenues grew 9% and 7%, respectively, for the quarter. The Tax & Accounting market continues to be healthy, and we expect revenue growth for this business to accelerate in the fourth quarter.
Turning to Markets, trends continued to be encouraging. Net sales were positive for the second consecutive quarter, reflecting positive customer reaction to our new offerings, including Thomson Reuters Elektron, our new low latency data distribution platform, and of course, Thomson Reuters Eikon, our new flagship desktop product. Enterprise revenues were up 10%, with strong growth across the segment, except for Omgeo, which was negatively impacted by lower equity volumes over the summer. Tradeweb grew 9% due to higher volumes for U.S. treasuries and mortgage-backs. By geography, revenues grew across all major regions of the world except North America. Customers in rapidly developing economies continued to demand our products, as evidenced by Asia as a whole, up 4%, of which China grew 12%, India, 7% and over in the Middle East and Africa, we are up 15% and in Brazil, up 8%. Transaction revenues were up a healthy 5% despite a dip in FX volumes during the summer months.

Coloring eggs has always been a fun, yet messy activity that usually involves the whole family. It also involves a lot of clean up too. Those tiny wire egg holders aren't the best for holding the egg once you pull it out of the colored water. Give your eggs a better grip and let you and your child get a handle on coloring your eggs this Easter. Use a whisk! Put the hard boiled egg in a medium to large whisk and dip away! Make sure the whisk is big enough to easily remove the egg. I had trouble with the smaller whisks.
Give it a try and let me know how it worked out!

Just spread the whisk apart and the egg goes right in! Very easy.Delete
Ok thank you! ����ReplyDelete
How do you get it out without getting dyed fingers?ReplyDelete
Pinch the whisk where it is dry, up closer to the handle, spreading it apart until the egg can come back out. Using a large whisk helps a lot!ReplyDelete

The main thing that sets apart a great work of art, be it a novel, a painting, or a movie, from some crap at the mall is that it should be a fully realized vision, a completely thought-through, whole, interrelated, and complete event in which all the physical details serve the overall vision of the creators. Miraculously, Solera is such a being. Sure, you could say it's just a tapas bar. But that would neglect the beautiful flower-pod-doohickey that is the mosaic host stand. It would ignore the funny alien tapas bar chairs, the silvery figurines that make the salt and pepper dispensers, and so much more. Follow any train of thought you might have at Solera, and you'll find it fully realized: The wine and sherry list is like a university-level course on current thinking in Spanish viticulture. The food will meet you on whatever level you want: If you're just looking for a happy-hour snack after work, try the lemony, spicy calamari and a beer. If a romantic dinner for two is more your speed, the $30, eight-course menu gives you something to bond and linger over. And if you're a serious food-head, pull up a seat at the tapas bar and talk with one of the chefs. There isn't a restaurant in Minneapolis right now that hews more closely to its highest choices, nor a restaurant we'd rather go to.

Make a note of that info before mounting it on the wall. Keep that note in your user manual. And be sure you don't forget where that is!
Hi there,
Called up the Samsung support team today regarding my Samsung UA40D6600 40" 3D LED TV. I was unable to find the complete model number and the Serial number. I was told that these numbers can only be found from the back of the display. Since the display is wall mounted I was having a hard time to find that out. I would like to know if there is any other way off the inbuilt TV software to find out the code.
