Final thoughts
The ASUS RT-N66U is definitely a hotrod of a router. It's so packed with features that it's feasibly aimed at an enthusiast or small business market that wants what is essentially an entry-level enterprise router.
I'm definitely an enthusiast user. I've run DD-WRT on my routers since it was released. I've used VPN software on the router since it was available in DD-WRT. I want ASUS's firmware to have SSH. Telnet is insufficient, as it's too insecure. I'd also like to see FTP replaced with SFTP if SSH is on the device. I also want more control of DNS settings, specifically the ability to choose certain DNS servers for certain top-level domains.
My biggest complaint is that ASUS seems to downplay the availability of the microSD slot. I'm not an electrical engineer, but I'll bet that the microSD feature could be a serious selling point if it was made normal user accessible through a slot in the side. Drop a 64 GB UHS1 microSD card in there and say goodbye to ugly, vulnerable USB drives sticking out the back.
It runs about $160 on our favorite online retailer. For the intended audience of prosumers and small businesses, you cannot go wrong with the ASUS RT-N66U. ThinkComputers gives the ASUS RT-N66U Wireless Router a 9 out of 10 score.
However, it's worth noting that for just another $30, the ASUS RT-AC66U, an 802.11ac router, can be yours. Given its availability and close price point, it may be better at this stage to fork over another $30 for a device that is just that much more future-resistant.

One other issue, which is unfortunate considering how good this router is:
All of ASUS' routers with AiCloud (currently the RT-N66, RT-AC66, and RT-N65) take Port 443 to run this app. ASUS' current configuration does not allow this to be changed.
If you are a hobbyist working with Windows Server (which may require 443 for certain remote access features or serving up secure websites), this places you in an awkward position, as these three routers are otherwise excellent units.

Forums > General > Crazy M5 driver
Bunta's Tofu
Must have ditch finders on it as on new Michelin Pilot Sports I cannot get mine to do anything close to that. Total nutcase but not a bad driver.
Great driving skill but I've never seen a video like that on public roads!
reminds me of get away in Stockholm
New Skool Turbo Power
YouTube Channel
Some of the rear-facing shots of the M5 following were very Ronin like
Total twat though.
F*ck the internet, I was doing this My Way.
Doesn't seem very wise to post a video like that with the number plates clearly visible and the drivers name in the title.
Is it Russian? If so I doubt anyone would give a fvck.
How about not having a sig at all?
A bell-end that can drive an M5 well is still a bell-end.

What a twat, dangerous and irresponsible but like others I can't ignore the fact that he is a pretty decent driver.
Stolen Orions on fire off the hard shoulder of the M8. I watched neds litter in the dark near the Tennents shop. All those... moments... will be lost in time, like [coughs] tears... in... rain. Time... to die...
The title of the thread sums it up really
I would disagree, there was a fair bit of unnecessary sawing at the wheel, wasn't smooth and forced a fair few people off the road. Just a matter of time before his luck runs out and he crashes IMO.
Going to end up dead soon, here's hoping he only takes himself out.
Hmmmmm BO! BO! Chick.............. Chick a chickaaahhh!
He's pretty talented and seeing as it was thousands of miles away I found it generally hilarious
I'm suprised the sheriff hasn't commented yet.
That's either got serious power or the crappiest rear tyres ever!
What an absolute fool though, matter of time before a huge accident happens!

A Committee urges ministers to get back what is owed but not target vulnerable people inappropriately.
07:33, UK, Tuesday 15 July 2014
A report by MPs has slammed the Government for failing to chase down at least £22bn of debts owed to the Treasury.
The Public Accounts Committee was reacting to an earlier study by the National Audit Office which calculated, that of March last year, £15bn was outstanding from HM Revenue and Customs.
The Department for Work and Pensions and the Ministry of Justice accounted for most of the remainder.
The MPs accused ministers of failing to take a strategic approach to the issue and warned that failure to minimise the volume of debt outstanding - ranging from unpaid fines and taxes to overpaid tax credits - was having a direct impact on Government borrowing volumes.
They recommended each department was given targets to recover what debt they could though vulnerable debtors should not be pursued inappropriately.
Committee chair Margaret Hodge said: "The Government is owed this massive amount of money but it has failed to take a strategic, cross-government approach to managing that debt and getting more money paid to the Exchequer".
The report added: "Government inaction has led to large volumes of old debts building up in departments which are unlikely to be collected.
"While the Treasury and the Cabinet Office say they are belatedly developing a cross-government strategy for debt, we are concerned that the centre has taken so long to drive improvements in debt collection, given that this should be a basic business activity, and given the huge volume of bad debts that are written off each year".
Another conclusion suggested departments review their use of debt collection agencies.

May 4, 2016
An EF-3 tornado was confirmed in the Whichards Beach Road area of Beaufort County Friday night.
Authorities say 16 people were taken to the emergency room and 200 homes were either heavily damaged or destroyed.
94-year-old Essie Floyd was asleep in her bed on Highway 264 in Washington when the tornado came barreling toward her home.
"The trailer started to roll and rolled her out of bed and threw her on the ground up in front of the trailer outside of it," said Eric Wilson, Floyd's grandson.
Late in the night rescue crews found Floyd outside her home and in a field and rushed her to the emergency room. Floyd's grandson says he's thankful she survived with only a couple cuts and a broken wrist
"She's a feisty old lady she was giving the doctors a fit this morning so that tells me she's doing okay," said Wilson
About three miles away at the Moody Mart on River Road, security cameras caught the moment the tornado ripped through Pamlico Village.
"You feel the wind but to actually see it turning was absolutely amazing," said Darryl Cox about the storm.
Nearly 12 hours later, electrical crews were still repairing power lines and clearing trees the tornado knocked down.
On Asbury Church Road folks were picking up glass from the front window of this home that was shattered from the winds.
Lola Parker remembers being knocked to her knees when the tornado hit.
"Before I could get to the door I heard glass breaking andI turn and look and there was my dining room window blowing out," said Parker.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, August 27. THE second day of long course competition at the FINA world junior swimming championships featured Russian dominance at the Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Sports Complex.
Boys 100 backstroke
After a quick start by Dylan Carter of Trinidad and Tobago, Apostolos Christou of Greece took command of the race and never let up, winning the first final of the night in a meet-record time of 54.87. The swim beat future Olympian Daniel Bell's time of 54.99 from the 2008 championships. Danas Rapsys of Lithuania, the top qualifier, took silver with a 55.24, while Grigory Tarasevich of Hungary captured bronze with a 55.33.
Carter settled for fourth with a 55.36, while Japan's Keita Sunama was fifth with a 55.37. Luca Mencarini of Italy (55.43), Connor Green of the United States (55.54) and Vitor Santos of Brazil (55.66) completed the field for tonight's final.
Girls 200 butterfly
Using a strong surge in the final 50 meters, Kathryn McLaughlin of the United States overtook Hungary's Liliana Szilagyi in the final strokes to win gold with a 2:08.72 ahead of Szilagyi's 2:09.46. Japan's Misuzu Yabu was third with a 2:10.76.
Alanna Bowles of Australia (2:11.36), Becca Mann of the United States (2:13.51), Jurina Shiga of Japan (2:14.93), Emma Day of Great Britain (2:14.96) and Mary-Sophie Harvey (2:16.54) rounded out the championship final.
Boys 200 freestyle
Mack Horton is quickly becoming the star of the junior world championships, taking his third gold medal of the meet with a meet-record swim of 1:47.55. The swim beat Danila Izotov's record of 1:47.63 from the 2008 meet. Izotov has since become a major fixture on the senior elite level, winning bronze in the 200 free three weeks ago at the world championships in Barcelona.
James Guy of Great Britain held a slight lead over the first 100 meters, and was unable to keep up with Horton's unmatched endurance in the final stretch, taking silver in 1:48.18. Andrea D'Arrigo of Italy, who was fourth in the 400 free yesterday, picked up his first medal of the meet with a bronze-medal time of 1:48.28. Nicolangelo DiFabio was also in the thick of the medal hunt but could only place fourth with a 1:48.49.
Aleksandr Krasnykh of Russia (1:48.61), Caeleb Dressel of the United States (1:49.29), Regan Leong of Australia (1:49.81) and Luiz Melo of Brazil (1:49.93) also raced in the championship final. Dressel was unable to match his lifetime best of 1:48.64 that he swam a couple of weeks ago at the junior national championship to set a national age group record in the 15-16 age group.
Girls 50 breaststroke
The world record was 29.48, and the world record holder was swimming in lane four. But Ruta Meilutyte was unable to match her performance from the world championships, settling for a winning time of 29.86 in the first of two swims for the Lithuanian tonight. Viktoriya Solnceva of Ukraine was happy to take the silver with a 31.34, and Sophie Taylor of Great Britain took the bronze with a 31.38.
Also racing in that final were Italy's Arianna Castiglioni (31.52), Australia's Jenna Strauch (31.68), Hungary's Anna Sztankovics (32.20), Sweden's Jessica Bilquist (32.44) and Hungary's Dalma Sebestyen (32.57).
Boys 100 breaststroke
A tight four-person race to the wall made deciding the finish too difficult to the naked eye. It was Russia's Ilya Khomenko who stopped the clock first with a 1:00.88, taking down Craig Benson's meet record of 1:01.34. Vsevolod Zanko made it a Russian 1-2 with a runner-up time of 1:01.10, also under the meet record. Japan's Kohei Goto almost dipped under Benson's mark with a bronze-medal swim of 1:01.39.
Dmitriy Balandin of Kazakhstan (1:01.43), Carlos Claverie of Venezuela (1:01.99), Krzyzstof Tokarski of Poland (1:02.25), Pedro Cardona of Brazil (1:02.32) and Antoine Bujold of Canada (1:02.39) rounded out the championship final field.
Girls 100 backstroke
Daria Ustinova, who was a competitor at the world championships in the backstroke events including an appearance in the 200 back final, seemed destined for the silver medal in the event, with Great Britain's Jessica Fullalove leading throughout the race. But Ustinova's final lunge at the wall got her the win with a 1:00.88. She fell short of Daryna Zevina's meet record of 1:00.59, but is likely happy to have eked out the win. In second place was Kathleen Baker of the United States with a 1:01.18, and Fullalove was third with a 1:01.27.
Also placing in the final were Clara Smiddy of the United States (1:01.33), Charlotte McKenzie of Great Britain (1:01.56), Sian Whittaker of Australia (1:01.85), Australia's Lauren Rettie (1:01.87) and Kennedy Goss of Canada (1:02.02).
Boys 200 individual medley
The race for gold came down to five swimmers battling for not only gold but the respected sub-2:00 swim. Four swimmers broke the barrier, with USA's Gunnar Bentz celebrating his first time under with a winning time of 1:59.44. His time beat the championship record of 1:59.91 set by teammate Andrew Seliskar in the prelims and made good on his goal of breaking two minutes that he vocalized on a recent "Morning Swim Show" interview.
Semen Makovich, the top seed coming into the meet and the only one who had previously gotten under two minutes, led for the majority of the race from lane 1 but had to settle for second with a 1:59.50. Japan's Keita Sunama, racing between Bentz and Makovich, is likely celebrating his bronze-medal time of 1:59.74. Seliskar improved on his prelim swim, but will not be on the podium, as his new lifetime best of 1:59.84 was only good enough for fourth place, but will be the new 15-16 national age group record. Also in the hunt was Canada's Evan White, who was fifth with a 2:00.31.
Great Britain's Max Litchfield (2:01.59), Hungary's David Foldhazi (2:02.09) and Russia's Aleksandr Osipenko (2:02.12) also had spots in the final.
Girls 800 freestyle
The timed final event was won with a start-to-finish victory by Australia's Alanna Bowles with an 8:32.68, just missing the meet record of 8:32.30 by countrywoman Bonnie Macdonald of Australia. Linda Caponi of Italy was comfortably in second place for 700 meters but was run down by American Becca Mann in the final stretch. Mann's 8:37.85 is more remarkable given that she swam in the 200 fly final earlier in the session, and is a full 10 seconds off her lifetime best of 8:27.37 from the Orlando Grand Prix earlier this year. Caponi's time of 8:38.42 was good for bronze.
Rounding out the top eight finishers were: Isabella Rongione of the United States (8:40.00), Emu Higuchi of Japan (8:43.06), Australia's Kiah Melverton (8:45.06), Italy's Alisia Tettamanzi (8:47.17) and Mexico's Alysson Macias (8:49.52).
Mixed 400 medley relay
For the first time at the world junior championships, the mixed medley relay was contested. Each team had two boys and two girls racing, and in a medley relay, the strategy is extremely important in deciding which gender swims which strokes. Lithuania had a commanding lead going into freestyle, but Russia's Evgeny Sedov blazed by Lithuania's Eva Gliiozeryte for the gold medal with a 3:48.89. Lithuania was second with a 3:52.52, and the United States raced to third with a 3:52.63.
Australia (3:52.99), Great Britain (3:53.85), Germany (3:55.63) and the Czech Republic (3:56.19) all swam to official times. Canada was disqualified.
Boys 100 butterfly
The United States' duo of Matthew Josa and Justin Lynch took the top two qualifying spots in the event, with Josa posting a 52.96 in the second semifinal and Lynch touching in 53.29. Both were about five tenths off their lifetime bests, with Josa's 52.46 coming at the U.S. Open last month, and Lynch's 52.76 taking place at the U.S. nationals in June that stands as the national age group record in the 15-16 age group.
Also set to compete in the final: Pedro Vieira of Brazil (53.41), Alexander Kudashev of Russia (53.52), Ryan Coetzee of South Africa (53.59), Takaya Yasue of Japan (53.76), Austria's Sacha Subarsky (53.95) and Masato Sakai of Japan (53.99).
Girls 100 freestyle
Rozaliy Nasretdinova of Russia will line up in lane four in tomorrow's 100 freestyle final after posting a 55.05 in the second semifinal. Meilutyte, less than 30 minutes after winning the 50 breaststroke, found herself in a tie for the second spot with a 55.16 with American Cierra Runge in the first semifinal.
Exactly a second separates first from eighth in the qualifiers for tomorrow's final. Rounding out the field includes: Shayna Jack of Australia (55.34), Mariia Baklakova of Russia (55.35), Hong Kong's Siobhan Haughey (55.44), Great Britain's Grace Vertigans (55.69) and American Mary Schneider (56.05).

Holy legal war: Baptist Convention lawsuit observes anniversary
Sunday, August 11, 2013
Eleven years. And counting?
Tuesday marks the 11th anniversary of the Missouri Baptist Convention's filing a 52-page lawsuit against five church agencies, challenging their decisions to change their charters and remove themselves from the convention's control.
"This is a complex case involving many parties represented by some of the very best attorneys in the state," then Cole County Circuit Judge Paul Wilson wrote in December 2010, as he ruled on one part of the 15-count case.
Michael K. Whitehead of Kansas City, the convention's lead attorney, said last week that's one of the best reasons for explaining why the case has lasted so long.
But over the years, the parties on both sides also have accused the other side of delaying tactics, prolonging the battle and wasting money.
For instance, lawyer Tyson Ketchum of Kansas City, representing the Baptist Foundation, said: "The fact that the litigation ... is approaching its 11-year anniversary is an illustration, in and of itself, that the claims brought are causeless and unnecessary."
That original, Aug. 13, 2002, lawsuit named the five agencies as defendants: the "Word and Way" newspaper and the Missouri Baptist Foundation, both based in Jefferson City; the Windermere Conference Center in Camden County; Missouri Baptist College (now University) in St. Louis County; and The Baptist Home in Ironton.
Secretary of State Matt Blunt also was included, because his office had accepted and filed the agencies' new corporation charters. Cole County Circuit Judge Thomas J. Brown III granted Blunt's motion to dismiss the secretary as a defendant in 2003.
The original lawsuit was filed by the MBC's Executive Board and six churches, including Jefferson City's Concord Baptist Church.
Although they see the issues differently, both sides generally agree the issues involve "stewardship" of the resources donated by Missouri Baptists over the years and the church's ongoing mission work.
It's the fine points of the legal disputes that are among the reasons the case has continued for so long but, at its heart, the basic battle involves the five agencies moves in 2000 and 2001 to change their corporate charters and remove the convention and the Executive Board from having control over the agencies' operations.
The original lawsuit said those actions were a "breach of contract" with the MBC, which argued it had specific rights to operate and control the agencies, spelled out in each agency's original charter, but those rights were broken by what the convention called "illegal" charter changes.
Whitehead explained: "A quarter of a billion dollars in assets were taken from Missouri Baptists" by the agencies — which sometimes have been called "break-away agencies."
Brown dismissed the original case in March 2004, ruling that neither the MBC Executive Board nor the churches had standing to sue.
But the state appeals court in Kansas City partly disagreed, ruling in May 2005 that the executive board had legal standing to bring the case. So Brown allowed the MBC to substitute seven individuals for the six churches that the appeals court agreed didn't have a legal right to bring the lawsuit.
When Brown lost his re-election bid in 2006, the case was transferred to Judge Richard Callahan.
He ruled in March 2008 that the convention was not a "member" of Windermere's corporation — so the MBC had no legal rights to block the charter changes, and that it no contractual rights with Windermere.
In February 2009, a three-judge appeals court panel in Kansas City agreed.
The court's 28-page opinion concentrated on the state's laws about corporations, ruling that the convention expressly had approved a charter change in 1999 that clearly stated the new Windermere corporation "had no members."
The state Supreme Court declined to hear the MBC's appeal, and Windermere was out of the case.
"The Court of Appeals ... did not say we couldn't get the land back," Whitehead said last week. "That has been the objective in the (separate) Camden County case, which is currently on appeal in Springfield" — after the circuit court there ruled in favor of Windermere's authority to sell part of its land to a developer, so that it could raise money to keep the conference center operating.
Word & Way had made similar charter changes, and the MBC voluntarily dismissed the newspaper as a defendant in April 2010.
During the lawsuit, the convention's executive board had blocked the paper's employees from covering meetings — and that prohibition continues.
Whitehead explained: "Word and Way was MBC's in-house news journal when the editor and board decided they were out of step with MBC leaders and secretly changed their charter.
"A court has found that the charter change may have complied with corporate law, but the court did not call it right or fair."
So the executive board has chosen "not to give press privileges to Word and Way," he said.
When Callahan was named U.S. Attorney for Eastern Missouri, Gov. Jay Nixon named Wilson to succeed him as circuit judge, and Wilson inherited the Baptists' case.
Wilson wrote a 40-page opinion in December 2010 that agreed with the MBC lawsuit's Count VII, ruling that the Baptist Foundation had tried to "cheat the Convention out of its rights" to approve or reject charter amendments.
But the appeals court in Kansas City ruled last September that Wilson's ruling didn't answer other questions in the case, so his ruling wasn't "final" for legal purposes. They sent the case back to Cole County.
The case had been assigned to Senior Judge Byron Kinder, who has retired earlier this year, so it was given to Senior Judge Frank Conley of Columbia.
But, because Conley had surgery earlier this year, the MBC has asked him to recuse himself.
"We pray for his health, but we also pray for speedy justice," Whitehead said.
The Foundation, Home and University still are involved in the case.
Ketchum said: "Despite (its) losses, the Convention continues to pursue its cases. ...
"Not surprisingly, Convention and Executive Board witnesses have provided no testimony in this litigation to prove or even suggest that the Foundation has not properly operated its business since establishing an independent board in 2001."
He added: "As the Foundation still serves Missouri Baptists, including the Executive Board, the litigation over the last 11 years has served no purpose other than to waste valuable assets on both sides and obstruct numerous ministry opportunities."
But Whitehead sees victory in the rest of the case.
"Judge Wilson observed that (the 2009 Windermere) court of appeals opinion ... said the Convention might have protected its rights if the charter contained an express right for the MBC to approve Charter changes," he said. "The MBC-approval clause is in the charters of the Foundation, Missouri Baptist University and the Baptist Homes — and so the loss of the Windermere corporation should lead to a win and recovery of the other agencies."

New Bern police say a disruption at a local bar turned into a crime scene early Sunday morning when shots were fired.
Investigators tell WITN they got the call to Dreams 30 Plus Sportsbar on Simmons Street, near Neuse Boulevard, at 3:20 Sunday morning.
Police said initially, there was a disruption at the bar, and one man was being kicked out of the establishment when he accidentally hit his head.
Emergency responders were called to get the injured man medical attention when shots were fired in the area, according to police.
Police cannot verify if the two incidents were connected, and said the investigation is on-going.
No one was injured during the shooting.
The man with the head injury was treated and released.

Construction workers design and open coffee house filled with reclaimed wood
| April 15, 2014 |
As Brooklyn sees more and more of the development and renovation that come with gentrification, one new coffee shop in the Bed-Stuy neighborhood was inspired by and will focus on serving the men and women who carry out all that developing and renovation.
Kava Shteeble (Yiddish for coffee house) was opened by a group of construction workers who noticed a "lack of coffee options" in the eastern part of the neighborhood, according to a report from DNAinfo New York.
"We were a whole group of people who work around here and there was nowhere to get a cup of coffee," shop manager and contractor Yidy Brier told DNAinfo. "So we decided to open our own place."
The interior of the shop features a design heavy on wood and exposed brick. The shop is filled with whatever wood that could be found from construction sites, dumpsters and abandoned homes. For instance, the bar is made of a staircase turned on its side. The facade of the shop was replaced with glass and the originally tin ceiling was exposed.
And while tradespeople inspired this spot, Brier says it will be a place where everyone will feel welcome—including coffee lovers and those whose work involves a computer rather than a hammer, according to a report from The Jewish Week. Brier says Kava Shteeble is getting its coffee beans from Crop to Cup, a nearby shop he credits for his introduction to "high-quality" coffee.
"We want you to come here, hang out, do some work on your computer," Brier told The Jewish Week. "We want everybody to feel welcome."

With the recent uptick in the U.S. economy, the construction industry is seeing job growth at a five-year high. If…

I can't believe none of you emailed to tell us that, at some point over the last six months, Adam Lambert here fell under the thrall of the Dark Lord and is now acting as his (extremely UNSUBTLE) emissary on earth. I mean, when he comes up to me at the Whole Foods at some point this summer and offers to trade me a particularly lovely clutch of organic radishes for my eternal soul or whatever, I'd be likely to turn him down ANYWAY, but a heads-up would have been nice.
Comments (61):
Are you sure that this is not a wax statue?
Oh my…
I actually gasped when I saw this. I have to say, that is some truly IMPRESSIVE fug. I've liked Adam Lambert ever since I read he drunkenly crashed Lady Gaga's birthday party.
He actually looks like one of those posters that someone has taken a Sharpie to and created funky eyes and facial hair. It's too spooky that his look is intentional!
Emily The Strange and Prince had a kid. This is the result.
That looks like a cardboard cutout of Adam that someone drew all over! FUG!!!!!!
Oh sweet Jesus
Is it just me, or does he kinda look like David Blaine here?
@Anne B – I like where you're going with this, but I have to say that I rather imagine this is what Dave Navarro would look like if he had never met the punk-influence of Perry Farrell…
I'm thinking Snidely Whiplash.
Sweet zombie jesus this one scared me…!
At first I thought it was just a poorly photoshopped image to try to make him look all EVIL and stuff, but sadly – this is real, isn't it? I think I need a drink!
…. and I am thinking The Hamburglar.
I was thinking Disney villain…Jafar?
Finally a human size "Gothic Pimp Ken" doll…
Sorry, I was distracted by what I thought was ASSCAP written behind him.
(Yes, that is ridiculous facial hair.)
…….perhaps Lucifer's make up artist?
That's not Adam Lambert! That's his evil twin, Shadam Slambert! duhn-duhn-DUUUUUUHN!
Definitely Dave Navarro. I will do a looks just like on the cheeseburger network now! Yay!
And to think the man is actually blond! He really works this black hair thing in a big old way!
oh hey Criss Angel
Dave Navarro was my first thought too. It looks like Adam needed a last minute idea for a Halloween party and decided to use a Sharpie in a desperate, and largely unsuccessful, attempt to create a Navarro costume. Either that or he's what happened when Dave and Madame Tussauds hooked up.
Either way, not good.
Hilarious…wow…so very bad
Snidely Whiplash was also my first thought! Holy black crows—he has turned into a total caricature. Looks like he's been taking hair care lessons from Pauly D.
Oh sweet fumey gimme-the-munchies flashbacks YES.
Adam Lambert's evil twin, obviously
At first glance, I thought you guys had photo-shopped his face with magic marker.
He just reminded me I need to re-read Robert Olen Butler's "Hell." (Which is a very good book, but still.)
…He looks like a Playmoman.
Wow, and I thought the man was unsexy before. Unbelievable.
It's the Lord of Misrule.
That creepy Burger King's son? The Whopper Prince?
I know consensus has settled on this being Dave Navarro, but…I dunno…I'm almost thinking more Prince for some reason
More to the point, I initially thought, "Wasn't there a Freaky Fug Friday with Prince wearing this outfit?" I was wrong – it was Lenny Kravitz dressing sort of…Prince-ly. I don't know how I feel about a world where I confuse Prince and Lenny Kravitz.
I do know, however, that – while I adore Adam and his glittery glory – he can compare to neither of them. (At least, not yet.)
If Adam Lambert will ever show up in Germany like that, he won't be confused with Dave Navarro, but rather german designer Rudolph Moshammer:
Marija: Confused yes, but probably more creeped out, since poor Moshammer was murdered in 2005. Maybe he is channeling his ghost?
"Playmoman"? Is that a Playmobil man? If so, then YES. I have a prince right here and with his black hair, plastic skin and mustache, looks EXACTLY like this guy.
Ew – Dave Navarro?!
I lovelovelove Adam and his music, and generally find him extremely attractive….
But why did he have to go all V for Vendetta on us?! If he starts leaving red roses in his wake, we should all be very worried.
I thought "Sharpie," too! All he needs are horns and little round glasses!!
I must disagree with all the Dave Navarro and Prince comparisons…. as soon as I saw this I was reminded of the season where America's Next Top Model contestants had to dress up and pose as famous designers. This is John Galliano (with shorter hair) all the way.
He used to be vaguely cute, but now he looks like a comic book caricature. (Also, Dave Navarro is way better looking.) At least he doesn't look like Elvis anymore, but this is not better. I'd love to see him ditch the enhancements and go back to being a natural strawberry-blond with freckles.
Is he wearing thigh-high boots?!
Good (Dark) Lord!!
Wow, he went through a lot of (undoubtedly expensive) eyebrow pencils just to look like a doodle of the love child of David Blaine and Guy Fawkes.
Watch out, Ryan Cabrera! Adam Lambert has seen your giant vertical hair and just raised you a Sharpie-esque Goatee and Eyebrows! Excellent move to land a spot in next year's Fug Madness. I say well-played, Dark Lord Lambert.
So I know he dyes his hair, but his goatee and mustache too? Holy upkeep Batman!
EEEeeekk! My initial reaction was, "that's got to be someone wearing a mask — complete with plastic hair".
Ahh, that's the name I was searching for – Ryan Cabrera. That's who I initially thought this was based on the hair alone, as I've never heard of either of those dudes in my little corner of Australia and couldn't pick them out of a lineup. Either way, Sweet. Holy. Moses.
Actually, I'm always kind of pleased to see more men experimenting with really questionable style choices that to not run in the direction of manpris, socks in birkenstocks, Ryan Cabrera hair and general slobbiness. It's fug, sure, but it's flamboyant fug! On a man! I love the over-the-top crazy of Daniel Day-Lewis too, by the way.
You may now go ahead and call me crazy.
This look is Faith-era George Michael mixed with a HUGE dose of Dave Navarro. Also, this guy:
The Screen Actors Guild does not allow two actors to use the same name (think Vanessa Williams/Vanessa L. Williams). Too bad there isn't some organization that does the same for looks.
Adam better be real glad Dave Navarro isn't from the 'hood. You could get dealt with for doing some shit like this.
So, one of the bad guys from Superman 2 had a kid with the lady bad guy from Superman 2 and now he's all grown up?
Yeah, we've already suffered through at least three or four different iterations of the bloody thing XD
LOL this is the dude who as tiny child would spend hours in front of the mirror with makeup and tissue paper trying his best to recreate the Michael Jackson Thriller vid zombies look on himself. And he's so hilariously stubborn that the collective cry of "noooooooooo!" from his fans and the LOLtastic mocking from sites across the internet just means that he is totes keeping it for the forseeable future. Oh Adam.
I do love that he's in on the joke, though. Last night he tweeted pictures of his goatee muses LOL:
http://yfrog.com/hs7cdfbj (my fave)
Still much better than the time he wore a leather poncho, clydesdale boots and missmatching extensions…
Brb, emailing pic!
Seriously? You would turn him down? Silly girl.
He is so handsome. Have you seen the close up of this picture? I would sell my soul to spend a night with him. http://twitpic.com/4qeaq3/full
Wellll … overshot "new look" and landed deep in "comical" territory.
I LOVE him, but this is all getting a bit out of hand.
Where I come from, every skeezy drug dealer has this exact facial hair. But I may forgive him because of his hilarious "I am so NAUGHTY" facial expression. Oh, Mr. Lambert! You're such a card.
I agree with Lina @6:22pm – Dave Navarro is way better looking.
Truly scary.

OffShore Software Development
Software development is a highly technical job. To develop software in-house requires time, skilled manpower, and expensive programs and equipment. Offshore development is a cost effective alternative to developing software in-house. Offshore development and Offshore Programming at Emax Software safeguards the client's intellectual property, proprietary software and new development specifications with very high levels of security. Clients retain full ownership of all intellectual property rights and software source code at the completion of the project.
Offshore software development at Emax Software also provides you with immediate short-term access to a broad range of specialized technical skills and equipment. Offshore development allows your "A" team to focus on your core competencies. This means you get to market faster while maintaining your technological advantage.
For start-up companies, the benefits of Offshore software development can be monumental for the simple fact that it allows you to go farther on your venture capital dollars. The costs of Offshore software programming are much lower than hiring western programmers to fulfill your design.
Offshore software development offers another major advantage: independence. Most software vendors or investors cannot conduct independent analyses of their own or their competitors' products.Emax Software not only performs development work but also can obtain the competition's software for evaluation purposes for clients. This ability allows us to ask the questions you want answered and not disclose client identity.
Offshore software development has an extra benefit for other software developing companies, who by sub contracting out some of their most routine tasks to our company would be able to concentrate their workforce on the different tasks, which need their specific expertise. We would insure that perhaps unpleasant and perhaps more routine tasks still get done, saving their time for something of higher priority and importance.
To sum it up: Offshore software development at Emax allows you to cut production costs without the need to compromise on either speed or quality. Your operation becomes adaptable to increasingly complex and rapidly changing business environment. Ask yourself, can you afford not to go offshore when the competition is.

text: Home Culture Local Corruption Continues in Washington, DC Colbert I. King, columnist at the Washington Post, points out the dearth of morals in the nation's capital. By: Colbert I. King Posted: Sept. 17 2012 12:36 AM 0 Sulaimon Brown (The Washington Post/Getty Images) As local politicians in Washington, D.C., seem to be falling by the wayside, like former Council Chairman Kwame Brown, Washington Post columnist Colbert I. King writes that perhaps when those involved in shenanigans initially show their true colors, the people should believe them. How different today's climate is from spring 2011. That's when mayoral candidate Sulaimon Brown told The Post he had been paid during the 2010 Democratic mayoral primary by members of Vincent Gray's campaign -- chairwoman Lorraine Green and consultant Howard Brooks -- to continue a verbal assault on incumbent Mayor Adrian M. Fenty in exchange for money and the promise of a city job. The Gray campaign's response at the time was dismissive. Sulaimon Brown? He's that "annoying guy who wouldn't go away," Gray's senior strategist Mo Elleithee told The Post. "If anything happened, and I don't believe it happened ... I would be shocked to find out anything did happen," Gray campaign manager Adam Rubinson chimed in. Read Colbert I. King's entire piece at the Washington Post.

The Bachelorette
5 Reasons Marquel Martin Should Be the Next Bachelor
Marquel Martin was recently rejected by The Bachelorette's Andi Dorfman (Why Andi? WHHHHHY?!), and now we have zero reasons to wake up in the morning. Actually, we still have one reason — the faint hope that ABC will get their heads in the game and ask Marquel to be the next Bachelor for Season 19. We know what you're thinking, ABC isn't exactly known for their racial diversity when it comes to this particular franchise. But the time has come for Marquel to break the glass ceiling and do what he does best: make ladies swoon.
We've rounded up five pretty convincing reasons why Marquel should be the next Bachelor, so check 'em out below! Also, feel free to contact Chris Harrison directly about this pressing issue — we hear he can be reached at 69 World-Weary Blvd, California, Hell, The World.
1. He's Hilarious
Not to shade any of Andi's other contestants, but some of them are tragically unfunny. Like, sometimes the only amusing thing is their terrible fashion. However, Marquel is something special. This dude made us laugh on the regular during his stint on Bachelorette, and having a Bachelor with a sense of humor would be refreshing, to say the least. Also, someone else needs to take on the responsibility of mocking Harrison — the burden has been on our shoulders for too long!
2. He Has Amazing Style
Unlike his competitors, Marquel wore shirts that actually fit him, his sock game was on point, and his ties were appropriately skinny. Of course, it's possible that, should Marquel be dubbed Bachelor, Host Harrison would force him to into some blouses from his Da Vinci collection, but anything is better than Juan Pablo Galavis's sartorial reign of scarfy terror.
3. He's Totally Genuine
Over the past eleven million years that The Bachelorette has been on the air, we've seen contestants get drunk, strut around inexplicably shirtless, and behave douchily. But Marquel is a true gent who was genuinely on the show to find love. Did you see him cry when he was kicked off? DID YOU SEE THE TEARS IN HIS EYES?! They were as real as the "Chris Harrison 4EVA" tattoo on our lower back.
4. He's Drama-Free
We know you're trying to block it out, but Andrew Poole may have (allegedly!) used the word "blackie" to describe Marquel. And while the sponsorship salesman could have responded to Andrew's alleged comment by flying off the handle, instead, he maturely asked him for an explanation. He even requested that his fellow contestants not weigh in. What's more, when Andrew denied using the offensive term, Marquel accepted what he had to say and moved on. Class act.
5. He's a Super Stud
In case you hadn't noticed, Marquel is a major hunk. He's a total Romeo, and we want to be his Juliet. Also, we're referencing the Leonardo DiCaprio-starring Romeo + Juliet, not to be confused with the vastly inferior Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. Anyway, Bachelor Nation likely won't have any problem watching Marquel saunter around for an entire season.Do you think Marquel has what it takes to be the next Bachelor? Tell us in the comments below.

Cancer Cluster or Chance?
The link between environmental contaminants and cancer is surprisingly weak, if not imaginary.
Whether you look on the community or the molecular scale, cancer is largely a matter of chance. Every second, millions of cells in a body are copying their DNA as they prepare to divide. It is an imperfect process, and errors occur at every turn. Some are corrected, some are not, and every once in a while the right combination causes a cell to begin multiplying indefinitely, bringing forth a malignant tumor.
Many chemicals, natural and synthetic, can damage DNA and increase the background mutation rate. But most cancers require several genetic hits—whether they are spontaneous, inherited, or induced from outside. Cancer clusters have been verified among workers who are exposed for years to high levels of carcinogens such as asbestos. The hits just keep on coming. But even occupational clusters are rare. One study after another has concluded that the relatively dilute exposures received by the public are probably not causing much cancer, even in places near toxic waste dumps, like Love Canal.
Toms River, like Woburn, appeared to be an exception. But was the difference caused by two federal Superfund sites that had been polluting the area for years? Or was it a statistical anomaly? Years earlier, the epidemiologist Seymour Grufferman coined the term "Texas sharpshooter effect." Stand way back and blast the side of a barn with a shotgun and then find some holes that are crowded together. Draw a circle around them and you have what looks like a bull's-eye.
When New Jersey officials concluded that there was probably nothing to worry about in Toms River, angry residents stormed the county health department. As the pressure continued, the state joined federal epidemiologists in a full-blown investigation. Interviews were conducted. Birth records were studied. Computer models were made of the water system and of the paths toxic emissions might have followed through the air. DNA was tested, and effluents were analyzed.
As epidemiologists worked through the data, they were struck by a pattern of evidence that appeared to implicate one of the town's polluted well fields. But given the small number of cases, the uncertainty was overwhelming. In the end, two correlations seemed to rise above the rest—but only when boys were excluded from the statistics. That left eight girls whose mothers had drunk most often from the well field. Five of the girls had leukemia, a cancer of the blood, and three did not. The boys were apparently unaffected. A similar association was suggested for leukemia in girls with prenatal exposure to polluted air. For the other types of cancer a link to environmental contaminants couldn't be established.
So what are we to make of this? As epidemiologists parsed the numbers this way and that—including one age group in their calculations and excluding another, or making different assumptions about when contamination reached the water taps—were they closing in on a deeply hidden truth or picking and choosing among the data? There was no biological explanation for why male and female fetuses would respond differently to the carcinogens. If limiting the analysis to girls hadn't uncovered an association, would the next step have been to distinguish between those with brown hair and blond?
The study ultimately concluded with "considerable uncertainty" that water and air pollution might have been risk factors for leukemia in prenatally exposed girls. As with Woburn, the evidence was ambiguous and the litigation was settled out of court. The polluters paid off the plaintiffs while denying blame, and the families were left feeling robbed of vindication.
Given those kinds of subtleties and an anticlimactic ending, it takes a good writer to tell a compelling tale. With a talent for describing courtroom drama, Jonathan Harr turned the Woburn case into a best-selling book, A Civil Action. Where Fagin excels is in vividly recounting the science of carcinogenicity and the remarkable history of how the international chemical and pharmaceutical industry arose from a few Swiss dye makers—along with the problem of pollution and the ever inexact science of epidemiology. He brings the complexities of Toms River to life. The result is an honest, thoroughly researched, intelligently written book. It closes with the warning that there may be more to Toms River than what could be confidently concluded from the data—and other towns where industrial pollution is causing a barely noticeable but deadly rise in cancer.
That may be, but no matter how hard I squinted at the numbers, I found it hard to be convinced that there had been a cancer problem in Toms River. The tools of statistics, so powerful when applied to large populations, break down with small numbers. As so often in life, we're left wondering how to distinguish between randomness and patterns too subtle to see.


text: I bought a Novara Fusion back in March to use for my commute to work (13 miles RT). By May I had some clicking noise issues which I remedied myself (seems as though replacing one of the pedals eliminated the noise). By the end of June, both my front headlamp and back tail light, which are powered by a generator hub, were no longer working. Two weeks ago my shift cable became disengaged. I wasn't too keen on trying to fix it myself since I'm not very familiar with the 8-speed internal hub. So I took the bike into REI where I purchased it. They said it would take 3 days or so. I called. They weren't having much luck repairing the bike; the lights in particular were an issue because they did not have anyone on staff that had worked with a generator light system before. I made another call a week or so later. I was told to call back and hopefully the bicycle mechanic would be on duty to update me on the status of my bike. At this point I'm kind of wondering if the bike will ever be repaired or if I should just exercise 'REI's 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed' and return the bike. Am I being impatient? I've been without a bicycle for 2 weeks and don't have a spare one to get me by.

ABC Family Cancels 'Huge'
by Tracy Phillips | October 4, 2010 at 3:26 PM | TV News
If you were hoping to go back to summer fat camp, you're in for a 'Huge' disappointment.
ABC Family has canceled 'Huge' after 10 episodes, the network announced Monday. The series about overweight teens attending a weight-loss camp starred Nikki Blonsky and Hayley Hasselhoff (David's daughter).
The show didn't pull, um, huge ratings during its summer run, averaging just 1.9 million viewers.
The network has, however, renewed its other teen-themed dramas, 'Pretty Little Liars' and 'The Secret Life of the American Teenager.' ABC Family's other summer launch, 'Melissa & Joey,' has also received a Season 2 pick-up.

The Cats Gold volleyball team nearly lived up to its name at the 16-and-under girls' provincial club volleyball championship on the weekend.
The squad, made up of players from all over Westman and coached by Killarney's Dean Kachur, made it all the way to Sunday's final at the Healthy Living Centre and held a 23-20 lead in the opening set. However, the team couldn't finish off the Winnipeg-based Shock and fell 2-0 (26-24, 25-15). Despite coming away with silver medals — the first medal ever won in any age group at provincials by a Cats Volleyball Club team, which is run by the Brandon University Bobcats — the players were quite pleased.

A third prison sentence has been handed down in the murder of a homeless man last year in Onslow County.
In Jacksonville Thursday, 29 year-old Jay Oldaker was sentenced to 12 and a half to 16 years in prison for the death of 41 year-old Michael Kozak.
Oldaker plead guilty to second degree murder in February.
Two other co-defendants, Jason Blackmon and Dustin Newcome, pleaded guilty a few weeks ago.
The three said they killed Kozak and gutted him because he supposedly kissed a young girl.

1) Sim insertion/removal is very easy
2) Software installation takes little bit extra time but for once only after this simply insert sim, it will detect automatically and show network bar with service provider and connect to go on the air.
3) Not a single disconnection till now as it may happen in other data cards (I am using 2g aircel unlimited data pack and getting download speed of 20-25 KBPS (not kbps) average)
4) No configuration setting to be needed, detect sim and connects automatically. No manual setting needed. (remember some data cards may require complex manual setting each time)
5) Connection time is as low as 10 seconds for me. EDIT: PLUG N PLAY TIME IS NEARLY 30-40 SEC.
6) Shows statistics at the end of session uploaded and downloaded data.
7) Built quality is very good and tough.
8) calling,sms ing
9) It is not manually unlocked data card like other available with irritating and disgusting logos of companies such as airtel aircel. Also dont know about warranty for manually unlocked data card. Here we are getting one year.
No usb cable in the box like Alcatel u have to buy separately.

EmergingGrowth.com, a leading digital financial media company, Edgen Group (NYSE: EDG) Discussion also includes Basic Energy Services (NYSE: BAS), Schlumberger (NYSE: SLB), Key Energy Services (NYSE: KEG) and others.
To start the year, the Philadelphia Fed index, Empire manufacturing and the Richmond Fed index, all have come in weaker than expected. These data points measure the manufacturing activity in the country by region, providing insight every month as to how good-producing companies are performing. Today, the Richmond Fed's factory index fell to its lowest level in 6-months, and the 2nd lowest since June 2009. It is true that Empire manufacturing was just one month's data, Philly is generally known to be volatile, and the Richmond index has a high concentration of military contractors. However, they are all pointing the same way. Now, individually, most economists can come up with a variety of reasons and explain why the data points were weak. However, when taken collectively, these are worrying reports that the recent euphoria out of the markets. The Kansas City Fed factory index has also been a negative indicator all through Q4 of 2012.
The bottom line is that the equity markets will continue to grind higher even though the data has been weak as of late. There is way too much excitement and momentum, and the equity markets will appreciate at least for another couple of weeks or until a negative catalyst hits the financial markets. The positive train in the equity markets has been very powerful as of late, ignoring the bad data and praising the good points. Equities have had a great start to 2013, and will continue on for about a couple of weeks, as the market can stay irrational longer than most can stay solvent. The market always overdoes it, both on the up and the downside, and it is expected that indexes will continue to appreciate for the next couple of weeks. I expect many will start going short in the next few days, as traders look at the index charts and see a straight line upwards in January. Regardless of the trading aspect of the market, there are some growth stories out there that will outperform the indexes.
Edgen Group (NYSE: EDG) is a global distributor of specialty products to the energy sector. The company's main products include engineered steel pipe, valves and related components. The corporation has construction and mining customers from more than 35 global locations spanning the Americas, Europe, Middle East and Asia Pacific. One of the company's biggest customers is China. With China still well in the expansion phase, the region demands a plethora of parts and materials, and Edgen is there to accommodate. Considering the latest reading of 7.8% GDP and industrial production of 10.3%, consumption in the country will continue at an elevated rate. The company also recently completed a strategic acquisition that is going to help their expansion overseas.
In December of last year, Edgen Murray Europe acquired UK-based HSP Group Limited, to better its actuation offerings and valves to customers around the world. The acquisition will also allow Edgen to take advantage of HSP's international exposure in the Middle East and the Caspian area. The company has both small and large competitors in the industry. On the smaller-side Compressco Partners (Nasdaq: GSJK); market cap $279mm, Tesco Corp (NASDAQ: TESO); market cap $469mm and Basic Energy Services (NYSE: BAS); market cap $526mm. The larger competition in the industry includes Schlumberger (NYSE: SLB); market cap $102bln, MRC Global (NYSE: MRC); market cap$3.13bln and Key Energy Services (NYSE: KEG); market cap $1.19bln.
The company has a market capitalization of $329mm and has a 1-year consensus target of $12.80. Technically speaking, EDG has been in a nice upward channel since it bottomed at $6.49. The stock has tremendous support at around the $7.25-7.35 level. The 52-week stock low and high is currently $6.31 and $9.45. The stock is currently trading at $7.80 a share, so with any sort of pullback it would be prudent to buy in as there is support less than 50 cents away. That said, with the new acquisition and China growth evident, EDG is expected to have a good 2013.

A few years ago, it seemed knitters everywhere were working on the same scarf pattern, with endless waves emerging from needles wielded by hipsters, new mothers, young men and women of a certain age.
Was there a memo?
Sort of.
The word spread partly through Ravelry.com and KnittingDaily.com, which together draw nearly 2 million knitters and crocheters in the digital equivalent of a ladies' sewing circle.
"There's this phenomenon that happens when a pattern just suddenly grabs everybody," said Kathleen Cubey, an editor at Loveland-based Interweave, the world's largest print and digital resource for professional artists and crafters.
"That year, it was the Clapotis, a scarf that's super-easy, and everyone was making it at meet-ups and talking about it online. Then there was a sweater called the Central Park Hoodie, and everyone started making that."
Knitting patterns gone viral! How long before a needlework image joins LOL cats, Annoying Orange and Rebecca Black to become a popular Internet meme?
What once ranked, at least in popular imagination, with reading novels and daydreaming as among the most solitary of human activities is out in public, literally and virtually.
"Knitting has always been social," said Marsha Asheim, who co-owns A Knitted Peace, the Littleton yarn specialty shop, with Jane Dickinson.
"You can knit by yourself, but people have always knitted with other people at the coffee shop, or a church basement, or wherever. Social knitting groups — that's about friendships, enjoying people's company, support and that kind of thing."
More than 200 people showed up last August for the Colorado Rockies' Stitch n' Pitch, which offered discounted tickets to knitters and other needlework fans, along with a bloc of upper-level reserved seats where they all could sit together.
That was a one-off event, but thousands of yarn and craft stores host regular, drop-in knitting and needlework meet-ups, a tactic that boosts business and creates, um, close-knit communities. The Lamb Shoppe, a yarn specialty store in Congress Park, Littleton's A Knitted Peace, hipster hangout Fancy Tiger, Bergen Park's YarnWest and other yarn stores host meet-ups once or more a week.
And customers don't need to wait for Craft Night. Most stores have comfy chairs and tables for drop-in knitters.
Go into the Lamb Shoppe at almost any hour, and you're likely to see customers relaxing in the two easy chairs, or at one of the tables, knitting and chatting. Walk into A Knitted Peace, and you'll hear, over the clicking needles, people trading techniques on tricky problems, like turning the heel in a knitted sock.
"We encourage people to hang out any time," said Glenda Baker, who works at the Lamb Shoppe. "We're a kind of community all the time, not just during Pajama Jam once a month. We have a few people who come only to Pajama Jam, and we have regulars during the week who won't go to Pajama Jam because it can be a little chaotic. We have people who just meet with their friends here, not in a formal way, and we have groups that meet on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays."
When closing time comes, and knitters and needlework fans go back home, many of them promptly log onto virtual communities, including the phenomenally popular Ravelry.com and KnittingDaily.com.
"We've seen this rise, especially in social knitting online," said Interweave publicist Jaime Guthals. "There are millions of knitters who don't have a local yarn shop and don't know where to find other knitters."
They have no problem finding kindred spirits online. Ravelry is the Facebook of knitters and crocheters, with more than a million members throughout the world who share project photos and chat, and download free and not-free patterns. Interweave's KnittingDaily is a close second, with nearly 800,000 members.
"We love Ravelry; we've got a YarnWest Ravelry page," said YarnWest owner Laura Watt. "We go online all the time. If I don't have a pattern in the shop, then we walk right over to the computer and get it off Ravelry."
Denver knitter Katy Osterwald keeps a foot in both real and virtual communities. She is a regular at Fancy Tiger's Tuesday night meet-up, and a member of Ravelry.com.
"It's awesome, because you're guaranteed to have an answer to whatever question you're asking," she said during a knitting break at a recent Open Crafts Night at Fancy Tiger.
The meet-up takes place each Tuesday at the shop's broad, communal table. Though so far it's mostly yarn crafts, the evenings also attract artists working with clay or beads. And that, say organizers, is part of the appeal.
Jennifer Mosquera, who runs the Art Salon just west of Denver's City Park, hopes that her monthly Hairdryers and Highballs studio painting meet-ups will expand into other media.
"We get everyone from novices to people who dabbled in art years ago and want to get back into it," she said.
"I think the most profound way people influence one another is by doing different things. We don't all have to paint alike. In a studio, you might be getting caught up, being judgmental about your piece because you think it doesn't look the way you want it to. But another person may see the beauty that's there. Everyone struggles with that, and working with others allows you to see your work through someone else's eyes."

New Plant, Dwarf Hygrophila?
3 Attachment(s)
I bought a new plant yesterday to replace my Moneyworth that died :-(. The LFS did'nt have any Pennywort like I was looking for so I went with what the guy told me was a Dwarf Hygrophila. But after looking at the plant profiles I don't know about that. Now I'am not sure what it is, what do you's think?
I would say that is likely Hygrophila polysperma. It is certainly a Hygrophila from the leaf structure.
It's Willow Hygro, AKA Hygrophila corymbosa 'Angustifolia' (or Hygrophila Angustifolia) I believe.
Put it in the brightest part of your tank, plant the stems at least an inch apart, and if nutrients are good, you should be fine.
EDIT:Byron, you beat me to it. ;)

A Frunalian science vessel was a type of starship in operation by the Frunalians during the 24th century.
In 2369, following the discovery of the Bajoran wormhole, three such vessels arrived at Deep Space 9 to begin study of it. Due to damage sustained to the station's airlocks, docking proved to be problematic, and the vessels' crews had to transport aboard. (DS9: "Emissary")
Three vessels were seen approaching the station at the climax of the episode, presumably, these were the Frunalian ships in question. The script for "Emissary" also supports this.
For more information on this design and history of this model, please see: Studio models.

BBC News reports that 16 executives -- including the head of the L'Oreal makeup conglomerate -- have offered to show some "solidarity." Their open letter says, in part:
"When the public finances deficit and the prospects of a worsening state debt threaten the future of France and Europe and when the government is asking everybody for solidarity, it seems necessary for us to contribute."
Think Warren Buffett's onto something?
