2013 Toyota Yaris Adds Standard Audio Upgrade
Subcompact Continues with Three- and Five-door Models
It's really a bit of a conundrum: While its automaker is reaping some hefty sales gains on the car side of the ledger, the 2013 Toyota Yaris comes to market as the slowest-selling mainstream vehicle in its segment. In October, when the Toyota Corolla, Toyota Prius and Toyota Camry enjoyed sales increases of 29 percent, 52.4 percent and 35.8 percent, respectively, the Yaris cratered to the tune of a 62 percent decline. On a volume basis, the car's 2,579 trailed even the FIAT 500. And it's not as if the Yaris trails in terms of much else. In fact, now that the Hyundai and Kia subcompacts have seen their fuel-economy marks slip by a few mpg, the Toyota is right in the heart of the segment as far as EPA grades go.
Of course, one company's loss is another company's gain, and the rejiggered EPA standings, combined with a notable audio enhancement and the segment's only three-door model, should have the 2013 Toyota Yaris in line for at least modest gains during this selling season.

2013 Toyota Yaris: What's New
After launching as an "all-new" model for 2012, the 2013 Toyota Yaris will receive just one upgrade for the current model year, but it's a worthy one: All the content from last year's Tech Audio Package becomes standard across the Yaris family. In the mix here are Bluetooth technology for audio streaming (and hands-free calling), six speakers, AM/FM/CD/MP3/WMA playback ability, both a USB port and an auxiliary input jack, automatic sound-leveling, and what the automaker calls "MP3 sound enhancement."
The 2013 Toyota Yaris is then available in three grades:
- Yaris L—Offered in both three- and five-door configurations, the base model opens at $14,370 and, along with the above-mentioned audio setup, brings air conditioning, power door locks, halogen headlights, five-speed manual transmission, nine airbags and the full Toyota Star Safety System (stability control, traction control, anti-lock brakes, electronic brake-force distribution, Brake Assist and Smart Stop).
- Yaris LE—The mid-level Yaris is stickered from $15,955 and also is available in both body styles; the price premium adds a four-speed automatic, power-adjustable side mirrors, an upgraded driver's seat, 60/40 fold-down rear seats, cruise control, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls, power windows and remote keyless entry.
- Yaris SE—The hot-hatch version of the Yaris only comes as a five-door, with an MSRP of $16,480, and wears an aero-style body kit, sport-style grille, 16-inch alloy wheels, integrated fog lights, sport-fabric seating, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift lever, and model-exclusive instrumentation.

2013 Toyota Yaris: Fuel-efficiency in the Spotlight
The 40-mpg benchmark is, of course, entirely symbolic, but some observers do think that achieving the milestone provides more of a marketplace advantage than the difference between, say, 40 mpg and 39 mpg really deserves. Well, we may be about to see if that process works in reverse, too, and in a way that benefits the 2013 Toyota Yaris.
The Yaris can post an EPA line of up to 30 mpg city/37 mpg highway/33 mpg combined, which meant that, last year, it was one of just two mainstream subcompacts that couldn't reach the 40-mpg plateau (the other being the Honda Fit). But now that the Hyundai Accent and Kia Rio have been removed from the honor roll after procedural issues turned up in their fuel-economy ratings, more than half the subcompact entries are below that point, so the Yaris looks that much better in consumers' eyes.
Compare the top efficiency marks of today's mainstream subcompacts (and we'll include the Fiat 500 as the Chrysler Group's player):
EPA ratings (city/highway/combined)
Nissan Versa
Fiat 500
Ford Fiesta
Toyota Yaris
Hyundai Accent
Kia Rio
Honda Fit
Suddenly, the 2013 Toyota Yaris looks a lot more competitive than it used to, especially if you keep in mind that it does its best work in its least-expensive trim, while rivals like the Ford and Chevy require powertrain upgrades—and price premiums—to achieve their highest fuel-economy marks.

San Diego's openness to new ideas and lack of traditional hierarchy give it the edge in technology innovation, according to a new report from UC San Diego. The report compared the San Diego region with St. Louis and Philadelphia.
San Diego's technology networking groups such as Connect and Biocom provide easy access for entrepreneurs to get involved in the business community and spur idea and company formation, said Mary L. Walshok, a report author and UCSD's associate vice chancellor for Extended Studies and Public Programs.
By contrast, the Philadelphia and St. Louis communities are more insular, apt to reserve trust to those from long-established families.
The report is meant to guide national efforts to accelerate innovation and the economic growth it creates, Walshok said. Its other co-authors are Joshua D. Shapiro and Nathan J. Owens, also of UCSD Extended Studies. The report is available online at utsandiego/ucsdinnovate.
The report ranked San Diego first in innovation out of the three regions by using indexes such as the number of patents, federal research funding and venture capital investment. It also compared the effectiveness of what it called "intermediary boundary-spanning" groups like Connect. These groups bring together participants from various parts of the innovation cluster: researchers, investors and entrepreneurs.
Intermediary groups in San Diego host 1,013 events per year, compared with 626 in Philadelphia and 407 in St. Louis, the report stated. When adjusted for population differences, San Diego's advantage was even greater. San Diego groups hold 34 events per year per 100,000 people; St. Louis 14 and Philadelphia 11.
Walshok, a sociologist and founder of Connect, said she has long been interested in the evolution of San Diego's "innovation culture" and what lessons could be learned from it. To do so, it would help to compare San Diego with other regions that differ in their amount of innovation, but on the surface have similar raw conditions.
"Washington University in St. Louis is one of the great universities, has one of the top 10 medical schools, but virtually no companies get started there," Walshok said. "And the people who want to start companies leave there to come here."
The report provides valuable information for those seeking to spur innovation, said Ken Harrington, managing director of the Skandalaris Center for Entrepreneurial Studies at Washington University.
Entrepreneurial groups emerging from a popular need and not a top-down approach appear to be most successful, said Harrington, who took part in the report.

She goes hours and hours without eating
She's BF only, but lately she's been stubborn about eating. She'll go hours and hours without it, and I'm not talking just 3 or 4; I'm talking at least 5 or 6, and when I think it's been too long since she last ate, she screams and pulls away when I try to feed her. When she does feed, it's only for a few minutes at a time now, sometimes only seconds before she pulls away, fussing, only to turn to her fist an suck on that. She seems happy and normal throughout the day, smiling that big gummy smile, laughing and babbling, she just worries me sick because she's suddenly not eating like she used to. She's also been sucking her fist and wrists a lot, which makes me think she's hungry and I try to feed her but she gets flustered. What should I do about it? :( I told her peediatrician and she didnt seem worried about it at all, but I'm worried sick.

If it's coming back up is it possible she is having reflux issues? My babies spit up a lot but it was only spit up. It wasn't until one was sick that I realized how much their stomach held when IT ALL CAME UP.posted 05/11/2012 by chariot71226
My baby girl was doing the same thing earlier this week. She is 15 weeks old, my 3rd child. She went on a little nursing strike and just about drove me crazy. Every time I tried to nurse her she would pop off and fuss and want her pacifier instead. If it puts your mind at ease, babies at this age will sleep 5 to 6 hours without eating, so if she is going that long in between feedings it won't hurt her. I finally quit fighting her and now it seems like she is over it and back to her regular nursing schedule. Hang in there, she'll come back around, just keep offering when you think she is hungry. As far as the spitting up goes, sometimes it seems more than it really is. That being said, my own daughter was diagnosed with acid reflux. The spitting up is not so much the problem as it is the acid burning when it comes up. Trust your instincts. If you feel it is something more take her back and discuss it with your dr. But if she is gaining weight and happy she's probably fine.posted 05/10/2012 by Mitten413

Last post I talked about the final paper I was doing for Classics Senior Seminar. The other 20-pager I have to write is for my History of Common Law. The paper-writing for this class has been less structured than Senior Seminar, and I've spent less time exploring the research, so I'm a little bit more worried about how it will turn out. Here's what I've been thinking about. The perennial question of the class has been, "what is the role of history in law?" We've reviewed some Supreme Court cases that basically said, "it doesn't matter if we've been doing this practice for a while. There's no good reason which outweighs the harm done by it." This is said clearly in Lawrence v. Texas, which struck down a state law banning same-sex sodomy, and less clearly in Loving v. Virginia, which struck down a state anti-miscegenation (mixed race) statute. The historical practice of either anti-sodomy laws or anti-miscegenation laws wasn't enough to offset the liberty interests of the individual at stake.
Though the Supreme Court has always had the ability to break from precedent, it seems to give less weight to history than it used to. Whether using history to define "fundamental rights," an approach apparently rebuked in Lawrence v. Texas, or refraining from using past practice as a reason to do something, after the right has been defined, we look for "better" reasons. The latter is evident in the current same-sex marriage battle, in which legal argument in favor of laws prohibiting same-sex marriage often border on saying, "we've been doing it this way for a long time and shouldn't change it." It's no surprise that such arguments are dismissed. However, my opinion is that such a dismissal of history isn't necessarily bad. If something has historical weight, then chances are, there is some reason for its presence.

Buffalo, NY - Jhonas Enroth stopped 32 shots in helping the Buffalo Sabres keep up their late-season playoff push with a 3-1 win over the slumping Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday.
Tyler Ennis, with his first goal in 12 games, Jochen Hecht and Kevin Porter scored for Buffalo (18-19-6), which took over sole possession of 10th place in the Eastern Conference -- four points behind the eighth-place New York Rangers.
Benoit Pouliot scored for the Lightning, who dropped to 1-4-1 in their past six. Tampa Bay has particularly struggled on the road, where it's winless in four straight (0-3-1) and 1-6-1 in the last eight.
Enroth stopped the first 16 shots he faced before allowing his first goal in two games with 6:30 left in the second period.

Diablo 3 Patch 1.04 Extends Level Cap, Changes Magic Find
Blizzard took to the Diablo 3 official site today to provide details on patch 1.04. Responding to player complaints about the lack of progression after reaching level 60, the Diablo devs are instituting a new "Paragon" system that will effectively double the game's level cap. After hitting 60, players can earn up to 100 Paragon levels, which will each provide a small boost to core stats and a 3% bonus to magic and gold find, capped at a total of 300%. Blizzard hopes eventually to transition away from gear that boosts magic find entirely; this is the compromise solution. Players will still want to use magic find gear as they earn Paragon levels, but once they reach 100 (+300%) such gear will become obsolete. Stacking magic find buffs that result from Nephalem Valor will work as before.
Did we mention the borders? As if all that extra level-grinding wasn't a reward in and of itself, earning Paragon levels will add fancy visual detail to the border of your character portrait, so all your party members will know what an incredible badass you are. Yeah, there are buffs to player classes and legendary items coming in 1.04 as well, but that's just noise — check out that sweet golden wreath!!
The release date is not yet available — when it is, we'll let you know.

text: Map Victorian London using museum's interactive tool Culture 24 March 14 by Katie Collins Museum of London The Museum of London needs your help with an experimental project through which it is attempting to create the first searchable business directory of early Victorian London that includes street views.The project has been inspired by London publisher John Tallis' pamphlet series, which consisted of illustrated guides to London's main commercial streets and were purposefully designed to "assist strangers visiting the metropolis, through all its mazes without a guide". Each of the 88 pamphlets, all produced between 1838 and 1840, featured adverts, the history of a street, a business directory and, in the centrefold, a plan of the elevated street view. Now for the first time, some of the pamphlets have been put online. Museum of London "They are really amazing maps and they work in a similar way to how we think of Google Street View. So it just seemed really obvious to put that next to a modern Google Street View and see what we could come up with," the museum's web content manager for collections Jason Webber tells Wired.co.uk.Using digitised versions of the maps, the Museum is now encouraging people to get involved with identifying the buildings according to the information available through the directories. Each guide contains up to 100 buildings and by clicking on an elevation view of one side of a street -- imagine Google Street View but illustrated, and with no vehicles or blurred-out passersby -- you can then draw a box around one of the buildings and annotate it. A box will pop up asking you to enter the number, street, business description and business type of the building in order to make it searchable.London Street Views 1840 is a pilot digital outreach project for the Museum of London, says Webber. "We were looking at crowdsourcing as a new way for the museum to engage with our users."It's always hard to predict when you work in museums though, he adds, whether outsiders will be as interested in the subject matter as you are. However because of the strong online mapping community and the success that other institutions like the British Library have had with digital cartography projects in the past, he felt pretty confident that the project would take off.The appeal of the maps also extends to those with an interest in Victorian history, with not only the maps themselves, but the adverts and directories providing a really useful resource to academics. "What's particularly unique is that while there are directories of the Victorian era already online, this is the only one really that would marry them up with what the buildings actually look like," says Webber. Museum of London There's also the more general appeal to Londoners of "seeing a lot of these places that a lot of us go to and see how they've changed, even in this short space of time", he adds. "For instance, on Regent Street what is now the Apple Store in this guide was this amazing-looking [building] -- what was called the Hanover Chapel. The modern Apple building is pretty good, but the old Hanover Chapel was stunning."The project seems to be going well so far, with no streets left completely unannotated. Some of the annotations do need double-checking and verifying though, so there's still a chance to get involved if you'd like to help out. The Museum of London has 87 of the 88 guides within its collection and is hoping that it will eventually be able to boast the complete set. The guides are not on display, but Webber says he hopes they will all eventually be available online to browse in street view format. Latest on wired.co.uk

Publisher Conde Nast to sign $2B WTC tower lease
Wednesday, May 25, 2011
NEW YORK (AP) — Magazine publisher Conde Nast will announce Wednesday that it has signed a $2 billion lease to house its new offices at 1 World Trade Center, the centerpiece of a redeveloped ground zero that will be the tallest building in the U.S. upon its completion.
An official briefed on the negotiations told The Associated Press that executives at the publisher and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owns the trade center site, are expected to make the announcement at 3 p.m. after a scheduled vote by the Port Authority board on the 25-year lease.
Conde Nast, which publishes Vogue, Vanity Fair and The New Yorker among other magazines, will move 5,000 employees into a million square feet of office space at the 1,776-foot tower, said the official, who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the official is not authorized to speak publicly before the deal is announced.
A spokeswoman for Conde Nast didn't return a call for comment Tuesday.
The steel frame of the tower now reaches 66 stories of a planned 104 designed to punctuate the rebuilt site of the World Trade Center, which was destroyed in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The building, formerly known as the Freedom Tower, is slated for completion in late 2013.
The skyscraper is one of several envisioned at the site, along with a Sept. 11 memorial, transit hub and performing arts center.
Julie Menin, chairwoman of the community board that covers the World Trade Center site, said she expected the company's arrival to spark growth in restaurants, retail and amenities.
"This is great news for downtown and hopefully will be a harbinger of many other leases to come," she said.
The search for an anchor tenant from the private sector had lasted years, through complex and sometimes contentious dealings with multiple stakeholders.
"There were a lot of bumps along the way, but this will be an incredible testament to the citizens of our city, of how we have rebuilt," said William C. Rudin, chairman of the civic group Association for a Better New York.
Conde Nast's move from midtown Manhattan to lower Manhattan was a natural progression, Rudin said. Cost-conscious publishers who weathered an industrywide downturn as advertising rates plummeted and viewers migrated online were eager to get better deals for their money, he said, and lower Manhattan frequently offers more space at a variety of price points.

So here we go. It's now 2012 and the start of another new year. What better way to begin this next 12 months than a personal design challenge and goal to create some new work and perhaps grow a bit creatively? I can't think of any. Perhaps I'm a bit cloudy still from the holidays.
Hand-drawn logo work found in my garage.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. It's hard to believe that sometimes. Over the weekend, I was cleaning out some old boxes from my garage attic and stumbled upon some of my old logo design archives. Various cool artwork and stuff that I've hung on to for the sake of nostalgia…
Logo illustration time lapse
Here's a time lapse of a recent logo illustration I've done that includes a mother kangaroo with an infant in her pouch.
Creative block – Overcoming logo inspiration overload.
With the constant stream and endless supply of logo inspiration available on the web and in print these days, it's easy to get overwhelmed. Like a kid in a candy store, there is almost too much to consider. Tons of inspirational reference, dozens of tutorials and scores of how-to articles all too willing to help…
The sketchbook – Your brain wrapped in moleskin.
This is a subject that I have been meaning to write about for a long time. I often get asked about my concepting process and the steps involved to creating a good logo design. One thing I cannot stress enough is getting your ideas down on paper.
Logo design and the art of sketching.
The importance of sketching well in the creative field–especially logo design, couldn't be stressed enough. Being able to visualize your concepts and have them translate to your clients and colleagues is a beneficial asset to you and your team–and that's well before you show them your finished work.
10 Business card designs and how they're printed.
Even with all the technology we have today, the business card still endures. It serves as the mini-billboard ad representing your business well after you meet someone and go your separate ways. The right look and feel can often make or break your potential opportunity for business in the future.

Back in October, word first broke about the Wachowski siblings's upcoming sci-fi epic, Jupiter Ascending. It's apparently the next project they'll work on after they finish up their adaptation of Cloud Atlas, and while not much is known about the specifics, it's said to be a concept with serious franchise potential.
As everyone knows, the best way to launch a franchise is to cast big actors in your lead roles. You can come up with all of the revolutionary ideas and breakthrough filmmaking techniques in the world and there is no guarantee that anyone will ever see what you've done, but if you stick Will Smith in the middle of all your hard work, success is pretty much a guarantee. To that end, the Wachowskis want to start their casting process off by locking up Natalie Portman.
According to a report from 24 Frames, the Black Swan actress is being actively recruited by the Wachowskis's people, and so far she's shown quite a bit of interest in taking the role. The big potential of this casting is that this would be the first acting job Portman would be taking after her gigantic, career-making Oscar win for her work in Black Swan. A new baby forced her into a sort of acting hiatus, and this would be her first chance to follow up the great work she did in that film.
One has to wonder if the shine will still be on Portman as an actress so long after her win, however. Most mainstream audiences might not even know that she took a break from acting, because over the course of the past year she has had pre-pregnancy performances hit theaters in films like Thor, Your Highness, and No Strings Attached, none of which went very far toward impressing anybody. Might the film-going world have already given up on the idea of Black Swan being a big career turning point for the actress? And does Portman's Oscar even speak to any inherent quality in the Wachowskis' script anyway? She was perfectly fine making boatloads of crappy movies before her Oscar win, who's to say that she's being more choosy about which roles she takes now?
Either way, I'm sure it's exciting news for quite a few people to hear that the Wachowskis are diving back into the deep end of the science fiction pool and coming out with some new movies. Despite some disappointments that came after, The Matrix is still a watershed release that inspired a generation of film fans.

Comments about M-Wave Day Tripper Double Pannier:
The price is low & this would be an ok bike bag set if you are hauling only 15-pounds total & the sides are not hard/padded that lay against your bike rack. Also, I was disappointed that the bags had NO ZIPPER CLOSURE! You would have to clear all your items out of the bags whenever you left your bike alone. I will be getting a set from a bike shop by Ortileb Panniers made for touring bikes that are waterproof, zip & easily remove able. I wish SA carried better quality bike accessories as more people are commuting via bikes now, rather than cars.

Am I gaining too much weight?
I was 130 lbs. when I got pregnant. Now at 27 weeks, I am 161 lbs. Am I gaining too much weight?

you're a little ahead of schedule with weight gain according to the schedule doctors try to get us to adhere to, but in my opinion you are doing fine. You started in the normal weight range so gaining 31 lbs by 27 weeks isn't really all that bad, I think I was about the same. Every body is different, and every pregnancy is different and it would be crazy to expect every "normal" pregnancy to only gain 25-35 lbs. My doctors freaked out when i gained 7 lbs one month and then 8 lbs the next, but now at 37 weeks I've only gained 2 lbs in 3 months. Like I said, everyone is different so just eat when you're hungry and trust your body and don't listen to anyone if they try to give you crap about your weight gain lol.posted 08/27/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
Don't worry about it so much. I'm almost 37 weeks and have gained close to 80 lbs throughout my pregnancy. I was only supposed to gain around 25-30. I've eaten very healthy; lots of fruits, veggies, balanced meals, etc. and remained active throughout taking walks 3-4 times a week and STILL gained the weight. My mom said she put on a lot of weight with me as well. Everyone is different. It's unusual for someone to stay within the range the doctors give you.posted 08/24/2010 by Ckelly0410

Checking in with Midway, the Block's only bar, after the fire
The Sunday after a devastating fire consumed The Block, I went to grab a couple of two dollar Bohs at Midway Bar to see how the city's beleaguered red-light district was coping.
It had just been two days since the area was re-opened to the public, and signs of the fire were everywhere. The street was still blocked, and police tape cordoned off the Gayety Show World bookstore, which stood gutted.
But there were also signs that the area's bars and clubs were slowly getting back on their feet.
As I walked down the street, guys in overcoats peddled free tickets to various strip shows as shamelessly as they had before.
"No cover here tonight," one of them yelled. "C'mon, naked women!" As I quickly passed him, he re-focused his pitch: "Naked men?"
For years, Midway has been the only place on the Block that's a bar and nothing else.
Yet, even if there aren't strippers dancing inside, the bar is unmistakably of its surroundings. The walls are decorated with decades-old, hand-painted portraits of burlesque dancers from The Block's glory days. They didn't so much look like the glamour shots of dancers as those of Depression-era MGM starlets.
And strippers still make up a bulk of the its clientele, popping inside between shifts to buy soda and Utz potato chips and to make a phone call away from the all the clubs' ruckus.
Vicky Brandt, who's worked as a bartender here for 28 years, told me she was on her way to work the day of the fire when her manager called her not to come in. Apparently, the smoke inside Midway was so thick he couldn't even see the cash register in front of him.
Brandt has big, poufy hair, its red only slightly faded by the years, and what Dan Rodricks would call an unmistakably South Baltimore face. She was born and grew up there way before it became Federal Hill.
A former waitress, she's chatty, and though I was only there at midnight, she seemed like she'd be just as quippy at 3 a.m.
She told me she'd only been offered to work as a stripper once, but that she preferred to work behind the counter. "This job is better. It's not like I'm on stage all day," she said.
When I was there, she told me business was dead. Since then, it's slowly come back to life, especially after the police barricade was taken down and people realized the Block was finally open to the public. "More and more people are coming in," she told me earlier this week. "I don't know if it's because of the holidays."
It's still not back to pre-fire days, though. "There are a lot of people who lost jobs in the fire that don't haven't found new ones yet," she said.
Still, she's bullish on recovery, if only because she has to be. "I hope it picks up," she said. "It's my income."

Atheists Should Be More Superstitious If They Want People To Like Them Better
Why do God-believers hate atheists so much? Apparently they (the God-believers) find that an unwillingness to credit magical enchantment and mumbo-jumbo makes them (the atheists) untrustworthy:
Religion, in other words, has served a specific function throughout much of human history (beyond assuaging existential fears): It keeps people in line, discouraging them from engaging in selfish acts that hurt the larger community. Gervais and his colleagues point to recent research that bears this notion out; several studies have found people engage in less-selfish behavior "when reminded of watchful supernatural agents."
If you believe – even implicitly – that the prospect of divine retribution is the primary factor inhibiting immoral behavior, then a lack of belief in a higher power could amount to a free pass. A 2002 Pew Research Center survey found nearly half of Americans feel morality is impossible without belief in God.
There you go, God-deniers: they hate you because, if don't live in fear of divine retribution from some celestial cartoon character, how will you ever know the difference between right and wrong?

in Problem solving
My first post, was hoping for some advice.
The fence in the photo attached has become distorted due to the tree roots pushing the posts outwards. I want to re – sow the lawn or possibly turf it, but think should get this sorted first. The property is rented, the landlord claims that fence should be maintained by next door (even though the tree is in our side of the garden). The fella next door is a bit of a recluse, no one sees him or knows him. (Ive knocked, and put a note through door, but I doubt he will sort the problem).
I don't want to pay £100's to get the stump ground out etc. Do you think it would be possible to chop away at the roots with an axe then try an straighten up the fence posts? The tree was only cut down a year ago. Can you think of any other solutions?
There is a new fence panel there but can't get it in because its not straight. Some people say drill holes and put diesel in the stump, someone else said to dig the roots up. I actuall quite like the stump but the fence needs fixing ASAP.
If you're a tenant then surely it's the landlord's responsibility?
Under normal circumstances, I'd say check the deeds to establish who does actually own the fence, but that's not something you can do.
I think you're going to have to keep asking the landlord about this. If the fence is the neighbours' one even if jointly owned by the 2 properties, then it's up to the owner of your property to ask the neighbour etc. I certainly wouldnt supply & fit your own panels unless it states specifically in your aggreement that you are responsible for that fence, which doesnt seem likely as you personally dont own the property.
Who paid for/had the tree cut down? You can hire stump grinders, but again why should you? If for instance, the cooker broke in the kitchen as a tenant I would have thought your landlord is responsible for the cost of repair/replacement. Not if the house was unfurnished though, but you can see where I'm coming from.
Good luck in attempting to dig down/cut through any roots. With a stump of that size it wont be easy. Am sure that there are stump killers still available to the domestic market to use, but IME they take 4-5yrs for the material to rot down. J.
I can appreciate the fence looks an eyesore, but as above, not really your responsibility whoever owns it.
Diesel is not a good idea, it will contaminate the soil for years, and take as long as a stump killer to work.
Even with a very good axe those roots will take some getting rid of.
If this was my problem, I would get some nice cheap chicken wire and secure it across all the horrible ugly bits - only considering the main problem, which is keeping the dogs in! Then I would make a feature of some kind of the stump - it is a very nice stump !! Then I would shift the paving slabs that make the path and turn them into stepping stones (wherever there is no naughty root) wiggly pathways look much better anyway. Then I would scatter grass seed -NOW - willy nilly all over the place, it will grow very quickly now as we are due some rain and sun.......not much expense so far! Then I would find some good soil pockets and plant vigorous climbers up the broken twisted fence panels to hide them as well as create some colour. Then (after a quick breather and a cuppa) pop round to the neighbour to see if you can help him or her with the broken gate - it may be someone who could do with a friend!
I reckon a crowbar and a fair bit of "talking to" - plus a deckchair and copious amounts of tea !
Clematis Montana "Fragrans" - Montana "Alba" would be reasonably quick and cover well, for spring colour and scent, climbing Hydrangea maybe, and maybe a varieagated ivy. Solanum glasnevin (potato vine) with its blue flowers...is quite quick. Whatever you do dont bother with the russian vine though - "mile a minute" - it may be extra quick, but it can be such a pain, and takes over everything .
You might consider a little privet here and there. The varieagated one is quite striking, evergreen and tough !
When it comes to "instant" - best forget it, it wont happen .... just enjoy your creation as it happens - good luck
just get an axe and chop off the small bits and cover with mulch and plant up a large pot with trailing plants and place on the stump to draw attention from the stump, but u will still have to tidy the broken fences to tidy up the garden. A lick of paint might do the trick. good luck.

A long, long time ago, it must be ages and ages, but it was only in October of 2010, so, not really so long ago, I received an invitation to be a keynote speaker at one of the most prestigious English Pedagogy programs in Chile, the Universidad Catolica del Maule (UCM) in Talca, Chile.
I remember clearly speaking about passion that day, of loving what you do, and somehow, doing what you love. That was probably one of my most eloquent moments as a speaker, for the reason that it was me, talking about me. You see, I've been a teacher all my life. I would go so far as to say I was born a teacher, with instincts for learning that made academics child's play for me all my life.
Yes, I admit it, I love to learn, and I have enjoyed sharing what I learned with others all my life. And so on that day at Universidad Catolica del Maule, I was again thoroughly enjoying myself, as I basically told my life story as a learner.
Sitting in the audience that day was a young English Pedagogy student named Evita Marley, who is now a wonderful teacher of English in her own right. Her students are very lucky to have her for a teacher. She went to England, where she studied at the University of Leeds as part of her undergraduate studies.
Evita is one of my 2,193 friends on Facebook, in itself nothing very unusual. Some people have only 193 friends on Facebook, others have two thousand friends on Facebook. The point I'm getting at is that in such a sea of people, faces and places, what sets Evita is apart is her cheerfulness and use of language that is overwhelmingly positive in her interactions, the things she says to people, and about people, have an undoubtedly positive impact on how people feel about themselves, both as individuals and in a kind of "feed it forward" sense…
Now, I've shared this preamble with you, Dear Reader(s) so you can have a point of view from which to either agree with me, or disagree with me, based on what you are about to read next. I have called it simply, "Eloquence, by Evita Marley" in the anticipation that you will enjoy reading it as much as I did. Yes, I'm feeding it forward, passing on the good feeling to you, and you will pass it on to someone else and they will…
You get the idea of Feed it forward. Some people call it, "Pay it Forward. Yes, it's the same concept by another name…
By the way, Evita Marley will be in Santiago to attend Edcamp Chile, on Saturday, March 9th, 2013. Not only can you read her words here, but you have an opportunity to meet Evita and converse with her about her experiences in the UK, a Chilean far, far away from home, in a strange land, trying to learn as much language and culture as possible in the time-frame of a semester abroad, sponsored by the English Opens Doors Program (PIAP) of the Chilean Ministry of Education.
Even if you go to Edcamp Calbuco or Edcamp Coyhaique you will still have a chance to meet Evita, since we will have a videoconference with Edcamp Columbus, in Ohio, from the USA, a videoconference with the Edcamps in Chile, and a videoconference with the UK, all in the afternoon!
I am certain you will find it a rewarding experience to meet her and learn from Evita, and others like her, at Edcamp Santiago…
Eloquence by Evita Marley
"Sometimes, when I don't find the words to describe something, a situation, or a feeling, music does it for me. It takes me back to treasured moments, to people I´ve met, to magical places. Music makes me travel to unknown places, it really blows my mind.
It does not matter the style, it's about the related memories, mood… wishes! Music unites people, separates them, refreshes memories, makes people laugh and sometimes cry.
Music is, for me, the most precious work of art in the world, more than books and poems, movies and theater: I don't have to make any effort to understand, interpret, I just feel and fly away….
I love closing my eyes and imagine myself flying through an infinite stave and colors of guitar chords and piano notes. Music keeps me alive, it's a solitary friend who speaks to me when I need a word.
I cannot imagine my life without music!!"

Luis takes down the officers, but a helicopter appears and drops off more NOOSE officers. Luis kills them and the trio runs off to escape, but the chopper comes back. Luis takes a Rocket Launcher from the back of a NOOSE Van and takes it down. Luis gets in a car with his friends and drives them back to their place in Northwood.

Fact 7: You don't just have to know the business you're in; you have to know business. Yes, of course you need to know the inner workings and nuances of your particular industry if you want to be successful. But you also need to understand the various aspects of business as it is more broadly defined, such as accounting, finance, business law, personnel issues, and more, and how all of these impact each other and the decisions you make.
"Having tunnel or limited vision as far as business knowledge is concerned is akin to dropping out of high school," says McBean. "In doing so, you limit your possibilities for success and how great your success could be. But at the end of the day, what is most important is not how much you know, but what you know and what you do with that knowledge."
"Ultimately, I don't believe that any entrepreneur can succeed—or at least reach his or her full potential—without knowing, understanding, and applying these seven Facts of Business Life," concludes McBean. "It's equally important to understand how these facts are interrelated.

Plant operator SoCal Edison plans to lay off more than 500 utility, electrical workers
Workers affiliated with two Southern California labor unions will bear the brunt of October layoffs at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station as preparations to dismantle the plant get under way.
Plant operator and majority owner Southern California Edison plans to lay off 517 employees represented by the Utility Workers Union of America Local 246, based in Los Alamitos, and 30 employees represented by the Riverside-based International Brotherhood of Electrical Wokers Local 47.
The layoffs could in turn affect employment at Edison operations in Westminster because of seniority rules under collective bargaining agreements.
In disclosures to investors this month, Edison said the retirement of the plant in north San Diego County would result in workforce reductions of 960 employees and an additional 175 workers with support organizations. The investor-owned utility reported severance costs of $56 million associated with the direct layoffs, in earnings filings for the April-June period.
Edison executives have estimated the plant will employ about 400 people once dismantling is under way. Until last year, the plant employed as many as 2,200 people.
Edison decided to retire the nuclear plant in June, more than a year after problems emerged with recently replaced steam generators that were intended to extend the life of its two reactors. The reactors, which once produced enough electricity to power 1.4 million homes, were taken offline in January 2012.

Lebanese belly dancer Basima has traveled to Nigeria to perform at a show for the Lebanese community in Abuja.
According to the London daily Elaph, Basima is in the process of filming a video clip for her new song composed by Muhammad Abed Al Mine'm and distributed by Basem Munir. Basima's last video clip for the song "Ana Basima" (I Am Basima) was very successful.
The video clip was controversial because in the clip Basima plays the role of a young woman who is forced by her family to marry to a rich Khaliji man (from the Gulf countries), but she runs away.
Basima will start working on the second video clip from her album when she returns from her trip.

EXIL is a game which tell the story of Lena, a young girl which recently died. It's a platform game filled with action and dynamic fights. Her suicide will leave here deep inside of the dead's kingdom. She lost her memory and parts of her soul.

Potential Donald Trump candidacy excites Republican voter
Jacob Harpootian, a Boca Raton snowbird, likes the idea of a Donald Trump presidential candidacy.
So much so that he's thinking about sending the developer and reality TV star a political contribution. (He started looking for Trump contact information after reading about the Draft Trump movement.)
Harpootian was a Republican state representative from East Providence, R.I., from 1966 to 1976. Now 84, he's retired.
"I think he has a lot going. I don't' know whether he will be successful in getting the nomination or not. He's a different potential candidate. He has big business background. He knows how to put on a reality show. I don't know about his foreign policy. I don't know too much about his domestic policy, however he is a different potential candidate.
"We have people like Mitt Romney proposing to run. Mitt Romney would make a wonderful candidate, but charismatically, he doesn't have it. Today's venue, you have to be attractive in order to gain the popular vote. Today's voters look for charisma more than in depth as far as knowledge of various issues pertaining to governmental issues, foreign policy issues. You have to be charismatic in order to gain the popular vote.
"Donald has some of that," he said.
"I would support him in a primary," Harpootian said. "I think he's a serious candidate. Whatever ventures he's aspired to has been a serious one. Nationally he's made a big name for himself with all of his properties and his casinos. He's had to do something right."
Harpootian is not among the people who, like Trump, questioned whether President Barack Obama was born in this country. "I don't think that's a good issue to base your political aspiration on, because a majority of the people in this country voted for him."
He said he wouldn't tune into the season finale of Trump's "Celebrity Apprentice" TV show to see if there's a clue about his presidential plans. "I don't watch it."

Pasolini, Abel Ferrara's portrait of the last day of Pier Paolo Pasolini's life, is now out on general release in the UK. To mark the occasion, Verso presents the full text of Alain Badiou's foreword to Pasolini's unrealised St Paul, a film that "would essentially be a sequel to his film on the Passion of Christ."
Catch up on your radical political theory BEFORE you head back to class with books from Badiou, Butler, Žižek and more! The next time someone suggests pulling an all-nighter to finish that paper, you'll have Jonathan Crary's argument against capitalism infringing on our lives 24/7.
In July, in the wake of the 'No' vote in Greece's referendum, the philosopher Alain Badiou expressed his hope that a new sequence was opening up. A few hours after Alexis Tsipras's resignation, he bemoaned the Greek prime minister and his advisors missing this 'unique' political opportunity.
Translated by David Broder
1 We thought that we were right in thinking that the guiding principle of Syriza, winner of the Greek elections, was a vigorous 'No' to austerity. As such, we thought that it would categorically refuse all the anti-social, regressive conditions – attacking the most basic principles of the aspiration to equality and a tolerable life for the people – which the various financial authorities and their European cover made the condition of their loans. Many people furthermore rejoiced in the possibility of a new political orientation finally emerging in Europe, one absolutely different from the reactionary consensus in which all states have kept their respective public opinion for thirty years, whether out of consent or by force.
Is it selfish to want to be happy? On the contrary, thinks Alain Badiou: happiness is fundamentally egalitarian and to demand it, against its apparent impossibility, is a militant act. The interview below was translated by David Broder; see the original French text here.
(Photo: Badiou at Kendall College of Art and Design, Grand Rapids, 2014)
What encounters proved most decisive in giving your life its direction?
Alain Badiou: Before theatre and philosophy, it was something that my father said. Indeed, during the Second World War I had this screen memory take form, which was of decisive importance for my subsequent existence. I was six years old at the time. My father, who was in the Resistance – for which reason he was appointed Mayor of Toulouse upon Liberation – put up a big map of the military operations, in particular covering the developments on the Russian front. The frontline was marked out by a thin piece of string, pinned to the wall with tacks. I saw that the string and the tacks kept moving, though I did not ask too many questions; as a man operating in clandestinity, in front of the children my father was evasive about anything regarding the political situation and the war. This was spring 1944. One day, at the moment of the Soviet offensive in Crimea, I saw my father moving the string further left, clearly showing that the Germans were retreating toward the West. Not only had their conquering advance been held back, but now it was they who were losing vast swathes of territory. With a flash of understanding I said to him, 'But then, maybe we'll win the war?' and for once he gave a very clear answer: 'But of course, Alain! We just need to want it'.

The top aide to Governor Andrew Cuomo has agreed to meet with federal prosecutors over concerns regarding an anti-corruption commission in Albany.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Larry Schwartz agreed to meet with officials in the U.S. Attorney's office in Manhattan.
The lead prosecutor of that office, Preet Bharara, has warned that an investigation of the governor could happen, as concerns surfaced that Cuomo aides stopped the commission from investigating groups with ties to the governor.
The Cuomo administration has denied any wrongdoing regarding the commission, which was broken up by the governor earlier this year.

Two sets of twins has Combat Support Hospital seeing double
October 26, 2010
Story Highlights
- Two sets of twins currently serving in the 212th CSH
MIESAU, Germany - A typical Army unit may end up having a couple Soldiers with the same last name. Sometimes two Soldiers will look strikingly similar. Perhaps even have a pair that went to basic training together and somehow ended up at the same duty station.
The 212th Combat Support Hospital however, has a unique situation all its own.
Spcs. Andree and Alden Dominique both share the same last name, both look strikingly similar, both came in the Army together, and both now serve at the same duty station performing the same job. Sgt. Kenneth Wells and Cpl. Keith Wells share all of those characteristics as well.
As luck would have it, they are two sets of twins currently serving in the 212th CSH.
Paternal twins, the 24-year old Dominiques both serve as X-ray technicians with Bravo Co., while the Wells', who are fraternal, are in the Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment working as shower, laundry and clothing repair specialists.
Though the stops along the way varied, the journeys of the two sets of twins are very similar.
Andre, the oldest Dominique, "by 30 seconds," explained that after leaving Ft. Lauderdale, Fl and joining the Army together nearly four years ago, it has been a good journey so far - one made even more enjoyable by having his brother with him.
"We went through training together. We were stationed in Korea together, and now we're here together," Andree said. "It's had its ups and downs, but we both have different strengths and weaknesses, so we tend to balance each other out."
The 22-year old Wells twins, not surprisingly, share a similar story. They enlisted together in Fayetteville, NC in 2006. Prior to coming to the 212th, they both attended training together before being assigned to Fort Stewart, Ga.
They both say that having that one person that you can count on no matter what is priceless.
"If he's feeling bad or has something going on I can usually sense it," Keith said. "We can communicate a lot to each other without having to really say too much."
Having an identical twin running around can also lead to some funny situations.
"In Korea, working at the hospital in Yongsan, we would accidently end up messing with patients every now and then," said Andree. "I would walk out of a room through one door and then Aiden would end up coming in from somewhere else and the patients would look completely confused."
Having one set of twins in the same unit is rare enough, but the situation at 212th is one of a kind.
"It's a very exclusive club," Alden said jokingly.

Caitlin Westgarth
BCom 2001, LLB 2003
Caitlin Westgarth is Legal Counsel with Shell Development (Australia) Pty Ltd. She graduated from the University of Sydney with a BCom '00 and an LLB (Hons 1) '02.
Caitlin originally wanted to be a dentist because she enjoyed maths, physics and chemistry. But after not achieving the necessary GAMSAT result for dentistry, her life took a very different path. She enrolled instead in a combined commerce/law degree at the University of Sydney and has not looked back since. 'To be honest, it may have been a blessing in disguise,' she smiles.
During her degree, Caitlin developed a passion for environmental law. Her first job was as a judge's associate at the
NSW Land and Environment Court, from where she moved on to environmental litigation work at Mallesons Stephen Jaques and then to environmental and planning transactional and advisory work at Denton Wilde Sapte in London.
In 2007, she made the pivotal decision to return to Australia and settle in Perth at the height of the mining boom. She gained a position in the busy energy and resources department of Allens Arthur Robinson, where she began her incarnation as a resources and energy law specialist and was subsequently made a senior associate.
Later came an opportunity to step into her current role on the in-house legal team of Shell Development (Australia) - a job she has an obvious passion for, saying that it is 'top notch work that every lawyer in a law firm would like to get their hands on.'
A constant challenge, she says, is providing advice on issues as diverse as joint ventures, contract law, competition law, mergers and acquisitions, administrative law and property law, all with resources that are not, on the whole, as extensive as those of private practice.
An ever-present issue in her day-to-day work at Shell is employee safety. 'Petroleum activities are dangerous and no one can afford to be complacent,' she says. 'I've heard a number of CEOs of petroleum and also mining companies say that their greatest fear is being called to say there has been a fatality on one of their projects.'
Indeed, she considers it a responsibility of petroleum company employees, including the in-house legal team, to ask questions constantly, take an active role in making sure activities are conducted safely, and push for high operating standards to be rigorously adopted and implemented.
Caitlin believes deeply that she and her colleagues in the resources and energy sector have a responsibility to both understand their companies' impact on the environment and to minimise that impact as much as possible through best practice strategies.
'Although some people may find it hard to believe that people who work in the petroleum industry care about the environment, there are a lot of us out there with that philosophy.'

Enemy of the Week
Payback Time
Taking care of new unfinished business.
It could have been worse for Ahmed Chalabi, recent target of the most noted raid by uniformed U.S. forces since the kidnapping of Elian Gonzalez. He could have been on the receiving end of a dressing down from Nancy Pelosi. But let's be serious for a moment. Is this the way we now practice conflict resolution -- by hitting the ally who led us on and then let us down? But what about those who allowed themselves to be misled? Is losing on November 2 the only risk they face?
One has to wonder who'll be targeted next. The American Enterprise Institute? The offices of the Weekly Standard? The University of Chicago? All three were well-known redoubts of early Chalabi enthusiasts.
Bush and onetime backers now deemed disloyal could follow the example of John Kerry and Ralph Nader, who met and smiled at each other. No one fired any shots, nor did one seize the other's computers or holy books. They got on so swimmingly that either could serve as the other's vice-presidential mate. This would leave Howie Dean the odd man out, true, but then again that's the only position that ever gave him an in.
Back to Rep. Pelosi: It's solely because she's a woman that people are overreacting to her recent comments without treating them with the respect they deserve. Psy-war specialists can't account for Nurse Nancy's bruised feelings. Perhaps they should listen to the Arab street, where there is widespread relief that Nancy was never assigned to Abu Ghraib. It's just that when someone represents San Francisco, you never can tell.
Nancy joined 47 Catholic Democratic colleagues in penning a letter to the very busy Cardinal McCarrick demanding that unnamed bishops get off their case and give them communion even if 45 of them are actively pro-abortion, in clear violation of every church law known to God and man. The Congressional 48 then threatened to foment anti-Catholic violence throughout the land if the unnamed bishops didn't cave in. Whereupon, in response to their insolence and provocation, McCarrick promptly caved and agreed to meet with the 48. Any chance he'll give them the Chalabi treatment?
The famous Cannes film festival was home to American royalty this week. Michael Moore, fresh from starring as Agent 00000000007 (girth has its requirements), was all set to steal the show when the official U.S. representative, Ms. Alexandra Kerry, appeared on the runway, in a modest gown. Her father contends it would make a lovely first communion dress. Cardinal McCarrick, over to you.
The NBA playoff wars entered their fourth month. The league's MVP, Kevin Garnett, also leads the league in post- and pre-game verbal atrocities. When earlier in the month he praised his opponents with these words, "They were bombing threes like Hiroshima," there was no fallout. Not so after the drive-by rap he delivered last Monday, before a final Game 7 showdown. "This is it," he responded. "It's for all the marbles. I'm sitting in the house loading up the pump, I'm loading up the Uzis, I've got a couple of M-16s, couple of nines, couple of joints with some silencers on them, couple of grenades, got a missile launcher. I'm ready for war."
Soon enough he was forced to disarm, everything except the missile launcher, with which he scored 32 points in leading his team to victory. "It was one-sided thinking on my part," he said in his apology. "… I was totally thinking about basketball, not reality."
But it was reality. Not that long ago, the NBA's commissioner was Mr. Larry O'Brien, a former member of the Kennedy cabinet. Fittingly enough, he had been Postmaster General, back in the days when NBA players mailed it in. But now it's a new era, one that demands new leadership. Mr. Garnett sounded the right tone. His league just needs Donald Rumsfeld to run it. Under Big Dog (not to be confused with Glenn "Big Dawg" Robinson of the 76ers), every team would think it's on a special mission and none would have to carry more than a bare minimum of players on its roster. Best of all, teams would continue to showcase song girls, but Nancy Pelosi would never be among them. As this week's EOW, she's been declared ineligible.
