These were excellent & very easy to make!
Very Easy, tasted more like fudge than truffles. Very rich and tasty. Not good for parties because they do not hold up well out of fridge for a while.
These truffles are easy to make and just melt in your mouth.

Film Comment Selects: A Mixed Bag of Challenging Films
by Matthew Ross
If the New York Film Festival is the jewel in the crown of Lincoln Center's art film programming, and the New Directors/New Films Series is its respectable minor league for buzzed-about up-and-comers, the Film Comment Selects series is the underground haven for world cinema misfits that haven't gotten enough love. Now in its second year, Film Comment Selects, a collection of undistributed films from 2002 chosen by the editors of the FSLC's Film Comment magazine, has already built up a cult reputation among cineastes in New York City as an event that demands attention. Its existence also serves as an indictment of the sorry state of theatrical distribution in United States today -- this may be a group of difficult, often imperfect, sometimes bad films, but most of them deserve a chance to face a ticket-buying audience.
Unlike the inaugural series last year, in which a sizable portion of the films hailed from Japan, this year's program -- which ran January 31 through today -- was a decidedly mixed bag, encompassing everything from psychosexual shock cinema (Larry Clark and Ed Lachhman's "Ken Park," Phillippe Grandrieux's "La Vie Nouvelle") to a sampling of Thai new wave (Pen-ek Ratanaruang's "Monrak Transistor," Apichatpong Weerasethakul's "Blissfully Yours") to mini tributes to Chris Marker and John Frankenheimer. There were also a couple of minor films by established European art-house stars (Oliver Assayas' "demonlover," Catherine Breillat's "Brief Crossing," and Raoul Ruiz's "Love Torn in a Dream"), a couple of American indies (Alan Rudolph's "The Secret Lives of Dentists," Michael Almereyda's "Happy Here and Now") and a smattering of new work from Kazakhistan (Darezhan Omirbaev's "The Road"), India (Adoor Gopalakrishnan's "Shadow Kill"), and China (Wen Zhu's "Seafood").
There was also a film about September 11 that might as well have arrived with a "GUARANTEED TO BRING ACCUSATIONS OF ANTI-AMERICANISM" warning label attached for any U.S. distributor thinking of touching it. That offering, which opened to mixed reviews at last year's Toronto Film Festival and at this series, is "11'9''01." Like the Film Comment series, the project -- in which 11 directors each contributed an 11-minute short related to the terrorists attacks -- has its share of clunkers, yet the range of perspectives about how the United States stands in relation to the rest of the global cultural community is fascinating. My favorite piece came from Iran's Samira Makhmalbaf, who offers a simple but very effective story that shows how much cultural ignorance can reveal about economic and political inequality. In the film, a young Afghan teacher struggles to explain terrorism to her young students, who cannot fathom that a building as big as the World Trade Center actually exists. Ken Loach's segment, in which a Chilean refugee recounts his own country's September 11 horror -- the assassination of President Allende by the Henry Kissinger-backed fascist August Pinochet in 1973 -- is also quite good. In the end, the important of "11'9"01" as a cultural document and the handful of first-rate work contained within made it the most compelling film in the series. It deserves to be seen.
"Ken Park" is Larry Clark's best film since "Kids," whatever that means. This time, Clark and cinematographer/director Lachman (in a severe gear shift from the Technicolor fantasy of "Far from Heaven") ignore the censors completely, and include a number of hard-core sequences in which the characters (if not the actual actors) are well below legal age. For that reason, "Ken Park" is kind of the ultimate Larry Clark movie, in that it takes as its subject the director's career-long obsession -- poor, unhappy, uneducated white kids and their loveless sex by -- then isolates and magnifies it to a unsettlingly explicit degree. Clark is an acute social critic and he's a pornographer, and "Ken Park" is the clearest example to date of how that duality shows up in his work.
One highlight, though not a total success, was "demonlover," Assayas' slick riff on corporate culture in the age of cyber-porn. While many took the film to task for its gaping plot holes and narrative inconsistencies, the first 45 minutes of "demonlover" show one of France's most exciting talents working at the top of his game. Yes, the story may not end up making much sense, but Assayas' command of tone is at times masterful, and bodes well for future projects. The Sonic Youth score and the sight of Chloe Sevigny, Connie Nielson, and Gina Gershon catfighting (and speaking French) also make for some nice guilty pleasures.
Less effective is "Brief Crossing," the newest game of sexual manipulation from Catherine Breillat. A story of a night of romance between a 16-year-old boy and a cynical 30-year-old woman, the film's psycho-sexual dynamic pales in comparison to Breillat's more incisive work in "Fat Girl," and reminds us that this is a director who can lapse into pretentiousness at the drop of a brassiere. Grandrieux's "La Vie Nouvelle" is an oblique, brutal tone poem on the Eastern European sex trade, featuring almost no dialogue whatsoever. While it boasts an accomplished visual style and has breathtaking moments, "La Vie Nouvelle" is more of an installation piece than a narrative film, and it probably belongs in a gallery space.
"Monrak Trasistor," an epic Thai musical comedy, wasn't to my taste, but if your kitsch tolerance extends beyond the minimal (mine rarely does) then you might enjoy it. "Path to War," Frankenheimer's retelling of Lyndon Johnson's ill-fated involvement in Vietnam, is a competent if unsurprising made-for-HBO work. In "Happy Here and Now," the talented Almereyda loses narrative coherence in his search for atmosphere, and his film -- anothercyber-thriller about a girl looking for her lost sister in New Orleans -- never makes it on an emotional level.
As a whole, the Selects series contained fewer hits than misses, but that's not really the point. The Film Comment editors who programmed the series did what they set out to do -- provide an outlet for weird, quirky, ambitious, button-pushing movies that could never survive in today's less than adventurous theatrical marketplace. For getting these movies seen and giving them another shot at a sale, they deserve a round of applause.

The Centre's move to celebrate Teacher's Day as 'Guru Utsav' and planned interaction of Prime Minister Narendra Modi with school children on that day have kicked up a controversy with Congress coming down hard on the government.
"I don't think any PM or President of India has over the past 65 years compulsorily by diktat, by compulsion said that every private and public school from class 112. Every student from 1-12, thank God KG was exempted, must sit and listen and hear the PM," party spokesman Abhishek Singhvi told reporters.
He asked the BJP Government whether the class 1 or 2 students will understand the Prime Minister.
Besides, he wondered whether it was allowed to virtually make political propaganda to all the school children of India?
Has the Government ever used the machinery in this manner to propagate political or partly political view to young and impressionable minds and that too infants of 1-5 classes? he asked.
"But what matters is the hypocrisy first and foremost the constitutional issue whether such a exercise like this should be permitted using Government machinery", he said, adding it was a "cheap political tactics".
"We condemn this," he said.

An MRI exam conducted on Andrew Bynum's knees showed even more problems for the 76ers center, Bynum said Friday.
PHILADELPHIA — An MRI exam conducted Tuesday on Andrew Bynum's knees showed even more problems for Philadelphia's center, Bynum said Friday.
The results showed new developments: cartilage swelling in both knees and a bone bruise in his left knee, he said. The 7-foot, 285-pound Bynum previously had been diagnosed with a bone bruise in his right knee.
Before Friday's game against Utah, Bynum said he had experienced a setback in his rehab, which 76ers officials hope will make him available to play by the middle of January. Bynum, 25, said there has been no adjustment to his timetable for a return.
"I had a little bit of a setback, and we're just working through some issues with the right knee," said Bynum, an All-Star who has yet to practice with the Sixers since being acquired from the Los Angeles Lakers in August.

"I kind of have a mirror thing going on with my left knee. I don't know what's going on, but the doctors are saying pretty much that it's a weakened cartilage state."
Bynum, who said he has not had cartilage problems before, had the MRI done independent of the Sixers.
General manager Tony DiLeo said Bynum will play "when he's ready, and it's hard to predict when he's ready, hopefully sooner than later. Our main concern is Andrew's health. We want to have a long relationship with him."
Jrue Holiday scored 26 points as Philadelphia beat Utah 99-93 to snap a three-game home losing streak.
Knicks finally lose
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Zach Randolph had 20 points and 15 rebounds, Marc Gasol scored 24 points and the Memphis Grizzlies beat New York 105-95, handing the Knicks their first loss of the season.
Memphis (7-1) has the best record in the league. Carmelo Anthony scored 20 points for the Knicks (6-1).
Lakers speed it up
LOS ANGELES — Kobe Bryant had 31 points, Metta World Peace made five three-pointers while scoring 22 points and the Los Angeles Lakers played coach Mike D'Antoni's style of up-tempo basketball in a 114-102 victory over Phoenix.
Dwight Howard had 18 points and 12 rebounds as the Lakers improved to 3-1 under interim coach Bernie Bickerstaff, a former Sonics coach who guided the Lakers on Friday because D'Antoni wasn't quite ready for sideline duty while recovering from knee surgery earlier this month.
D'Antoni was hired to replace Mike Brown, who was fired last week.
Blazers win in OT
PORTLAND — Nicolas Batum tied a career high with 35 points, LaMarcus Aldridge had 29 and the Portland Trail Blazers beat the Houston Rockets 119-117 in overtime.
Rookie guard Damian Lillard from Weber State scored 16 of Portland's last 21 points and finished with a career-high 27.

Game of life: Weldon Drew spent 12 seasons as Langston basketball coach
A farewell to people with Oklahoma sports ties:
Former Langston University men's basketball coach Weldon Drew died from injuries sustained in an auto accident. The car in which Drew, 77, was riding swerved to avoid hitting a deer in the road; the car hit a ditch and rolled twice. Coach Drew was taken to a Stillwater hospital, where he died. Drew spent 12 seasons — 1987-1999 — as the Lions' coach. Langston had a 153-169 record under Drew, who also served as head coach at New Mexico State and an assistant Oklahoma State. Before starting a college coaching career, Drew guided prep teams in his native Houston to a 485-135 record.

WASHINGTON (NewsChannel 8) - The Metropolitan Police Department will launch a body camera pilot program beginning Oct. 1 as part of a six-month districtwide trial, according to the Washington Times.
Citing purchase orders and invoices, the Times reports that MPD has, so far, received at least 250 cameras.
Police officials would not confirm or comment on program details. MPD Director of Communications Gwendolyn Crump said no cameras have been deployed.
"This has been underway for nearly 18 months and we will announce the initiative accordingly," she said.
Meanwhile, the New York Police Department announced Thursday it is launching a pilot program to test 60 cameras worn by officers, becoming the latest and largest police department in the country to accept the technology as a tool of modern law enforcement.
At a news conference, Police Commissioner William Bratton predicted that the cameras would soon become as commonplace as police radios and bulletproof vests.
In the aftermath of the shooting death of 18-year old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., police departments across the country have been reviewing their policies and some have been introducing new technology, like body cameras.
Several months ago - long before Ferguson made headlines - MPD started budgeting and planning its pilot program.
After Brown's death, there is still much debate over race, police brutality and cops using military equipment. If there's any agreement, it seems many Americans believe body cameras could potentially prevent violence by officers or against officers. Many also believe such cameras would resolve questions in some controversial cases like Brown's killing.
In fact, the Ferguson Police Department is now using the technology - with cameras donated, one for every officer on that force.
The Metropolitan Police Department says $1 million of District funds were withdrawn in May to purchase body cameras for MPD's pilot program.
On NewsTalk, Chief Cathy Lanier called it a win-win.
"All of that is now captured on video," she said. "And believe me, no matter who you are, police or civilian, everybody acts a little bit differently when they know they're on camera."
Groups like the ACLU welcome the transparency and accountability body cameras can bring, but they say the technology won't solve everything.
They want clear department policies. For example, when can cameras be turned on, or turned off, when do citizens have a right to privacy and who has access to that footage?
"Technology will not get us to the full end result of better policing and better interactions with the public but it may serve as a tool on that road," said Monica Hopkins-Maxwell, executive director of the ACLU of the Nation's Capital.
The Metropolitan Police Department says it is still developing a comprehensive policy for body cameras.
The official launch date of the pilot program has not been released, but it is reportedly just weeks away.

We consider a class of weighted gradient methods for distributed resource allocation over a network. Each node of the network is associated with a local variable and a convex cost function; the sum of the variables (resources) across the network is fixed. Starting with a feasible allocation, each node updates its local variable in proportion to the differences between the marginal costs of itself and its neighbors. We focus on how to choose the proportional weights on the edges (scaling factors for the gradient method) to make this distributed algorithm converge, and how to make the convergence as fast as possible. We give sufficient conditions on the edge weights for the algorithm to converge monotonically to the optimal solution; these conditions have the form of a linear matrix inequality. We give some simple, explicit methods to choose the weights that satisfy these sufficient conditions. We also derive a guaranteed convergence rate for the algorithm, and find the weights that minimize this rate by solving a semidefinite program. Finally, we extend the main results to problems with general equality constraints, and problems with block separable objective function.}, author = {Lin Xiao and Stephen Boyd}, journal = {Journal of Optimization Theory and Applications (JOTA)}, month = {June}, number = {3}, pages = {469-488}, publisher = {Springer-Verlag}, title = {Optimal Scaling of a Gradient Method for Distributed Resource Allocation}, url = {http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/default.aspx?id=74454}, volume = {129}, year = {2006}, }

Tancara Group
Sra. Benedicta joined a Communal Bank through Pro Mujer two years ago after receiving an invitation from one of her group members. At the moment, she has a business of selling coffee and sweets. She learned this trade from her mother and has been working for several years. The loan she is receiving now will increase her capital for buying sugar, which will be purchased at the fairs in the city of El Alto and then used to make what she sells in her establishment. Working in this manner helps her family get ahead. Benedicta is single and has one child.
When asked what she likes about Pro Mujer, Benedicta said that she enjoys the training classes and the savings.
La señora Benedicta cuenta que hace dos años que integra una Banca Comunal dentro de Pro Mujer y que para esto fue invitada por una de sus compañeras; en la actualidad ella tiene un negocio de venta de café y dulces, mismo que trabaja hace varios años aprendiendo el mismo de su madre.
El crédito que ahora sacará es para aumentar su capital (compra de azúcar) los que comprarán de las ferias de la ciudad de El Alto y posteriormente a la elaboración lo venderá en su espacio de comercialización. Esta forma de trabajo apoya a salir adelante a su familia pues ella es soltera y tiene un hijo.
Cuando le consultamos que le gusta de Pro Mujer, ella nos respondió que le gusta la capacitación y el ahorro.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Many persons turn to an affair as a means of coping with a poor marriage. There are websites available to help married persons meet other married persons for such purposes. These websites cite statistics suggesting that since affairs occur in such great numbers, the behaviour is thus normal and therefore acceptable.
Well, that's just evidence of 'stinkin thinkin', or as psychologists would say, cognitive distortions. (A cognitive distortion is the lie we tell ourselves to convince ourselves that something is OK when clearly it is not.)
There are two kinds of affairs, emotional and sexual. In both instances, the person breaches a sacred trust with their marriage partner. They go outside the marriage to share intimate feelings or sexual behaviour. By definition, affairs are secretive and deceitful. They are fully withheld from the marriage partner. They are a betrayal of the trust that forms the basis of all marital vows and monogamous relationships.
Affairs, as a strategy for coping with a poor marriage, do not work. They undermine the integrity of the marriage and the individuals involved. There is tremendous damage done to the sense of trust between the partners that may never be recovered. Further, the individuals involved have compromised their personal integrity and must live with that very serious blemish for the rest of their lives. This is a heavy personal burden knowing they have acted deceitfully and are now untrustworthy when trust matters most.
In addition to the impact on the marital partner and the individuals involved, children also suffer. The children are witness to the indignity suffered by the parent and they too experience betrayal. Children expect their parents to act properly as role models of virtue and moral behaviour. We teach our children not to lie or deceive. However, affairs are the very opposite of this teaching and hence significantly undermine the relationship and parental authority of the parent having the affair.
Some parents defend their behaviour, falling back on the excuse of a poor marriage. Yet, we teach our children there is no right way to lie or hurt another person. As a result of an affair, a number of parents lose the relationship with their children. Marital fidelity is a line in the sand that cannot be crossed without serious consequences.
If you are experiencing marital problems, do not add to them with an affair. Follow this protocol:
1. Speak with your spouse. Discuss openly and honestly the difficulties you are experiencing in the marriage.
2. If you cannot resolve matters between you, seek outside help together. This can include a family member, trusted mutual friend, clergy or counseling professional.
3. If you then cannot resolve matters, you may consider separation or divorce. If children are involved, consider mediation to resolve ongoing parenting plans.
4. Consider intimacy with another adult only after you have first separated or divorced. If you have children, such intimacy should be handled with caution and sensitivity to your children�s adjustment to the marital separation.
Not all marriages work. How the break-up of a marriage is dealt with will have profound implications for resolving matters amicably or with further conflict. It will also determine parents� future relationships with their children and even grandchildren.
So if you're thinking of having an affair, think again.

Hi ladies, I am a member of the July 2012 Birth Boards and I am so glad I have found you guys. I am 7 months pregnant with our second daughter, oldest will be 3.5 when we PCS to Landstuhl in September. I have been doing a lot of research but cant find great e-mail adresses and still need to check what my international plan is on my cell before i start making calls. Does anyone know the current wait time for housing at Landstuhl for an E-4 with 2 kids by chance? lol or Also i am DOD civiliam employee hoping to find a job overthere once we get settled, anyone know of the current wait time for daycare? Any information that you think id need to know besides that stuff is always welcome!
PCSing to Landstuhl
Comments (7)
I can tell you the CDC is crazy backed up. People have been putting their kids on the list the day they are born and only getting the chance to get them in at 8ish weeks. I'm not all that sure of the protocol for getting on the list before you are here since my daughter doesn't currently need daycare but the earlier you can do it the better. As for housing, pretty much all housing has a 6 month wait list at least. We just chose to live off base and to be honest I am so very glad we did. Most people that get base housing wind up in stairwell and I just couldn't do the apartment thing. We are E-4 family living on only DH's income and are living in a duplex. Since you will be stationed at Landstuhl that means you don't have to try to find a place in Ktown. The further from Ktown you are the cheaper things get. We are only 10-15 minutes from Landstuhl and our 3bedroom duplex with off street parking and yard is within our housing allowance. You can't say that for places close to RAB. Good luck with the end of your pregnancy and with the move. You will LOVE Germany.

ugh i figured about both. we have been looking at off post options on AHRN since i figured the waiting would be long. do you know if we take a monthly lease on an off post place and then our name comes up on housing list on post do they arrange for us to move on or we have to pay out of pocket? and i figured a little bit of wait for the CDC as well. a couple months isnt too bad. it may take me that long to get us settled and find a job anyway. i dont think we are bringing our big suv and motorcycle over. we getting out of ur leases under the SCRA (servicemembers civil relief act) to lower our monthly bills while there. we are going to rent a car at first then hope to buy something used there. we have heard there is a ton of used cars for sale there with all of the PCSing back and forth, do you know if this is true?
The leases here aren't like in the states. The only official paperwork I have with my landlord is the paper that I gave the housing office. You are supposed to provide at least 2 weeks notice before moving out so that they can find a new tenant. If you are moving from off base to on base they will pay for your move. If you move from one place off base to another off base, you have to move yourself so just be happy with the first place you pick. We weren't but we didn't have our household goods to move at that point so it was a lot easier. There are indeed a lot of used cars for sale at any point in time, but the price for that car can be outrageous. We had been looking for a station wagon for about a month before we found one at a good price (ok I'm cheap but still). There are the lemon lots on base and people also post their cars on Ramstein Yard Sales. It's basically craigslist over here. If you are buying from a German individual just make sure that you don't get totally screwed over cause I have heard some horror stories.

Hey thanks for the comment about Housing on post and off post.... I moving to Landstuthl area in october and.... need this tips
Landstuhl has a longish wait list for housing. What you can do is find a rental house that has a month to month lease. That way once your number comes up for a base house, you can easily give notice to your landlord and move on base.
The nice thing is that the military will pay for your first move into base housing- so they'll pay for professional movers and give you a dislocation allowance.
We lived off base for 3.5 years and on base for 1.5 years. With young kids, I honestly prefer to live on base. We lucked out and got a townhome on Vogelweh. Whether you get offered a 3 bedroom stairwell or townhome all depends on what's available at the time. We met the people who lived in our townhome before they PCS'd and they moved into the townhome when he was still and E-3.
There are always lots of cars for sale. Another place to look is Ramstein Online Sales on Facebook. And for newcomer information, www.everythingkmc.com The guy who runs this is meticulous about having correct info on thissite
I have a 2 year old and dog. my husband will not be travelling with me since he's gonna be working in afghanistan as a contractor. Im so glad I am a member of this site its very helpful. Im just worried about the CDC. will they provide or refer me to people who will take care of my daughter while waiting for the CDC to take care of my daughter full time?. im asking you thin cause people here are more knowledgeable than my sponsor whos supposed to be taking care of me. IM so worried and overwhelmed. :(
Khaine- The CDC will give you the list of FCC providers. From there, you'll need to call each provider to see if they have any openings. If that fails, there are also lots of moms who are willing to be temporary babysitters until a CDC or FCC spot opens up. It sucks, but sometimes you can't help it.
Just get your child on the wait list ASAP. You never know if they move through the list quickly for the age group you need.
Another option is trying other bases. There are tons of little Army kasernes and camps around here. An Air Force friend used to live out by Miseau so she signed her son up for the CDC there. He got a spot right away.

A Little Princess
by Frances Hodgson Burnett
A Little Princess Courage Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
"I don't like it, papa," she said. "But then I dare say soldiers—even brave ones—don't really LIKE going into battle." (1.20)
Sara wouldn't be the first kid to compare going to school to the horrors of war, but she's going to keep that little chin of hers up—and face Miss Minchin's school even it if does seem horrible.
Quote #2
"Beggars have nowhere to live," she said courageously. "I have a place to live in." (9.4)
Sara has to stay brave for Lottie; otherwise she'd probably just start crying again (like usual). This is a good example of how Sara believes that princesses have to set … good examples.

Getting firsthand information from an actual car owner is one sure way to get an idea of car performance once it leaves the lot. Autobytel features real consumer reviews that give the unbiased experience of a car.
Pros: space in the trunk
Cons: none love all the toyota cars
Advice: noneGreat car
Pros: The looks!
Cons: Cloth interior - getting leather put in next week
Advice: Don't fall in love with the local dealer - make them compete!!Tested the Avalon, Camry, and the 4Runner and just couldn't get out of the 4Runner - it just kept on calling my name.
Pros: Styling
Cons: nothing
Advice: Test drive all the SUV's and trucks and decide what you want most for the money...reliability is always #1 with Toyota.Have previously owned 4 Tacomas...Very reliable...never had any problems...Test drove a 2006 limited 4 runner and found it more comfortable with extra ammenities...it's worth the price...Afterall, it's a Toyota. We now are proud owners of the 2006 4Runner.
Pros: SMOOTH RIDE
Cons: A BIT OF RATTLE IN THE OVERHEAD GLASSES CASE
Advice: I WOULD SPEND MY MONEY ON A 4RUNNER AGAIN. .I BOUGHT MY 4RUNNER IN NV AND DROVE IT HOME TO MO. I LOVE THE POWER/RIDE AND GAS MILAGE FOR A TRUCK. CROSSWINDS ARE A SMALL PROBLEM (JUST KEEP YOU EYES ON THE ROAD AND HANDS ON THE WHEEL.)I LOVE THIS SUV, THE ONLY THING IS THAT I DON'T NEED A TAPE DECK!!! MIGHT AS WELL BE AN 8TRACK PLAYER!
Pros: up hill assist.
Cons: The SR5 model doesnt offer leather
Advice: Best buy all around, Truck gets and deserves lots of respect.I bought a new 4Runner in July of 2005. Great truck, it got the 4.7 V8. The truck handles very good, is very quick at all ranges of the rpm and seems to get smoother and smoother every day. The V8 sounds perfect it feel like a medium bulit man with bruce lee power and ability. The ride on all types of roads is great and soft. I have taken mine in the sand dunes of Pismo Beach. truck has many high tech features that make its 4WD ability even better. I was about to buy a Jeep Grand Cherokee but then fell in love with the 4runner. it gains much more respect then other SUVS in this range. Has really good appeal and resale Value. LOVE THE TRUCK
Pros: The 4Runner exudes quality; the Japanese still hammer us Americans and our domestic vehicles.
Cons: High step in and running boards don't really help with ingress or egress.
Advice: Rent one for a few days before you buy and you will be sold like I was.Recently rented a 4Runner while visiting Arizona(rented in Phoenix, drove to Grand Canyon for 3 day visit). This was my first experience with a 4 Runner; I have always been an Explorer owner. I was very impressed by the quality of the 4Runner. Excellent ride for a truck based SUV, very good noise suppression, good acceleration from the standard V6, even at altitude. Great interior. My wife loved this vehicle also. Next purchase will definitely be a 4Runner.
Pros: Everything!!!
Cons: Not very many features...but not a biggy!
Advice: Defienetly look into a 4 Runner. I purchased a used one....1 because I couldn't afford a new one and 2 because you actually lose if you purchase any vehicle new.I absolutely LOVE my 4 Runner. I am so glade that me and my husband decided to go with this. My mother-in-law purchased a new one in 2004 and we have driven hers in Colorado (we are from Texas) and we loved the way that it drove and how smooth of a ride it was. Hers is a V8 and we purchased a V6 and can't tell a difference. The V6 has pleny of go for us and we don't do much pulling. We didn't even consider any other vehicles. I would recommened test driving one to anybody. My 4 Runner is for sure worth what I paid for it!

Visitors to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park saw a rare sight last week. This 205 pound-plus African elephant was on exhibit with his mother, Swazi, hours after being born on Aug. 28.
Guests can see the pair at the park daily or on Elephant Cam, according to a press release.
The San Diego Zoo in Balboa Park has a progress report on the panda that was born July 29.
Vets gave the 2.2-pound baby a checkup last week and report that it is calm and growing. It's too soon to know what sex it is, and it will probably be months before it is old enough to go on exhibit. But you can see it and mom Bai Yun on Panda Cam.

Archive for the 'Hydraulic Fracturing' Category
Fracking off in Lancashire (and elsewhere?)
I know this is very late but, it is such significant moment, I feel I must comment on the recent decision of Lancashire County Council to refuse to allow fracking to proceed in their county.
Never mind that their decision was primarily the result of NIMBYism… spurious worries about earth tremors; slightly-less spurious worries about groundwater contamination; and probably-valid worries about methane escaping into overlying aquifers (rather than being sucked out of the ground)… this was a great result for anti-fracking campaigners all around the world.
This decision sets an important precedent that I hope will not be overturned by the inevitable appeal by Cuadrilla; and/or over-ruled by the same national government that has promoted the cause of NIMBYism when it comes to opposing onshore wind turbines and solar farms.
Our supposedly "greenest government ever" could and should therefore be decried as hypocritical if they try and go against the wishes of local people in Lancashire.
Long-standing readers of this blog, written as it is by someone with a geological and hydrogeological background, may recall some of my previous posts on the subject of fracking. However, in a nutshell (or perhaps I should say "in a drill casing"), my opposition to fracking has hardened over time. Initially, my opposition was based on the same logical grounds as that against drilling for oil in the Arctic: Having established that burning fossil fuels is changing our climate, humans should now be trying to stop burning them as soon as possible. Now, however, I am also against it because it has been proven to give rise to methane contamination of groundwater; and because as little as 3% of the gas will actually be recoverable.
Given that China has now announced that it intends to make its carbon emissions peak within 15 years, can the G7 now be shamed into doing the same? We can but hope.
However, I digress from fracking (and Lancashire): In May this year, I was delighted by the appointment of Amber Rudd, as the new Climate Change Minister. This was partly because she is a woman. However, I was mainly pleased because, unlike so many totally ill-qualified, 'sceptical' non-experts — with Degrees in subjects like economics (Lord Lawson), Sociology (Benny Peiser), English (James Delingpole) or Classics (Christopher Monckton) — Amber Rudd accepts that the IPCC is not part of a global conspiracy to foist environmental alarmism upon a credulous world.
Amber Rudd, in common with the vast majority of relevant experts with a history of producing peer-reviewed scientific research, has concluded that the growing disruption to the Earth's climate is being predominantly caused by the burning of fossil fuels in the last 200 years.
The only people now disputing this (as-near-as-science-ever-gets-to) certain fact are those with a vested interest in the perpetuation of the oil industry… and a handful of credulous (or wilfully blind) economists and journalists who perpetuate the myth that the science is uncertain.
Sadly, whether deliberately or otherwise, these very same people have, just as they did for the tobacco industry, succeeded in delaying for decades the effective regulation of an environmentally-damaging product.
That being the case, investment in fossil fuel companies should not only be seen as financially unwise; it should be seen as corporately irresponsible and socially unacceptable. We can but hope.
However, in the UK at least, there is of course the problem of the Energy Gap: The UK is being forced to close down it's 'dirty' (i.e. high carbon intensity) coal-fired power stations. Unfortunately, the mix of low-carbon and renewable sources (i.e. wind, solar, tidal, and nuclear) — which even the fossil fuel executives of 50 years ago thought would have become dominant in the power-generation sector by now — is nowhere near to being in a position to replace coal. This leaves the UK importing huge amounts of liquefied natural gas (LNG).
As a quick aside, I would like to encourage all non-scientific types not to be intimidated by jargon. Take "carbon intensity" as an example. This is merely a reference to the number of carbon atoms in the product being burnt. As such, mining tar sands is 'highest' and burning methane is 'lowest'.
Sadly, however, none of this changes the fact that burning any fossilised carbon increases the total amount of CO2 circulating within the biosphere, which is warming the planet as a result of the basic Laws of Physics. To make matters even worse extra atmospheric CO2 is slowly reducing the pH of seawater, which is making it harder for shellfish of all kinds to live and grow. This is a much more serious problem because they are the only means Nature has for removing excess carbon from the biosphere (by the processes that created the fossil fuels in the first place)…
Getting back to LNG: Clearly, it would be much better if the UK did not have to do this. However, if we accept the science, we do not have the luxury of taking decades to phase-out fossil fuel use.
China is right and the G7 should follow their lead.
As many economists have now pointed out, humanity needs to treat climate change as an existential threat — far more potent than any Earthbound terrorist group — that requires mobilisation of the military-industrial complex to minimise and/or adapt to it. Sadly, far too much of the military-industrial complex is still fighting a rear-guard action to perpetuate its own existence — rather than on trying to safeguard the habitability of planet Earth for future generations.
World-famous film director, James Cameron, might well have cited the ill-fated MS Titanic as an analogy for humanity today. However, I am sure we would all rather that money would be invested in minimising climate change; rather than on constructing Elysium.
We can but hope.
BBC Panorama on the Energy Crisis in the UK
The BBC have very helpfully posted the recent Panorama programme 'Energy Bills: Power Failure' on YouTube (as embedded below). Presented by Tom Heap (who regularly does spots on CountryFile), it is very fair-minded and includes contributions from a wide range of people. Therefore, even if you do not live in the UK, I would recommend watching the programme because: it is very good at describing the problems that we all face; and makes it crystal clear that we must find a solution (but does so in a way that somehow avoids being dogmatic).
Some questions I would like help in answering are as follows:
1. What is the instrumental music used in the opening night-time sequence in Blackpool?
2. Why do so many poor people use the most expensive (pay-as-you-go) way to heat their homes?
3. Can we give Angel Gurria (Secretary-General of OECD) a Nobel Prize for plain-speaking?
4. How can anyone avoid concluding that Ed Milliband is an opportunist and a con-man?
5. Why did the CEO of RWE nPower not admit profit margin on generation (as opposed to sales)?
6. Is the need for decarbonisation actually incompatible with power generation being privatised?
7. Why has carbon capture and storage not been made a priority in order to continue burning coal?
8. Is it realistic to think that (in a post-carbon era) energy will ever be cheaper than it is now?
9. When will the UK government admit that fracking is not actually low-carbon and (thus) not the answer?
10. Has Michael Fallon not read the BGS report that says only 10% of shale gas is probably recoverable?
UPDATE (23/12/2013): I think the answer to Q1 is "Burn" by Ellie Goulding (see comments below).
Conservatives for conservation (of a habitable planet)
Whilst I am aware of – and have previously quoted – Lord Deben (i.e. leader of of the Committee on Climate Change – the advisory group David Cameron and George Osborne are ignoring so studiously), I was not aware of the campaign he is heading on Twitter. Thanks must therefore go to John Havery Samuel for alerting me to James Murray's Are the Green Tories preparing a fight back? article on the BusinessGreen website.
As a child, just about everyone in the UK will probably remember learning about the story of Elijah humiliating the prophets of Baal on Mt Carmel (i.e. as recounted in 1 Kings 18 in the Old Testament). However, not all may recall the crisis of faith that followed this tremendous victory (see 1 Kings 19). Although I have never really had the moment of victory, I often feel that I have sure spent a long time having a crisis of faith. However, once you appreciate that I am a socially-conservative environmental realist (see links below if you don't believe me), I think my persistent feeling that I am in an extreme minority becomes entirely understandable.
I would very much recommend that you read the entire story (i.e. of Green Conservatives preparing a fight back) on James' blog. Hopefully these opening paragraphs will encourage you to do so:
One of the bright spots in an otherwise pretty dispiriting summer for the UK environmental movement has been the unlikely emergence of Tory grandee John Gummer as Twitter's latest eco-warrior. Now known as Lord Deben, the former Environment Secretary and current chair of the independent Committee on Climate Change has provided a beacon of centre-right common sense on matters environmental – and all in 140 characters.
He has argued that fracking may be useful, but will never provide a silver bullet for the UK's energy crisis; repeatedly challenged "climate deniers and dismissers" to provide one example of a credible institution that supports their crackpot theories; and taken numerous pot shots at ill-informed anti-green commentators and several of his climate denying colleagues in the Lords. All because, in his own words, "no reasonable person would ignore expert opinion and wager his children's future on the contrarian views of people who are not peer reviewed".
It has been a breath of fresh air and a useful reminder that not all Conservatives have signed up to the reckless vision being relentlessly promoted by Lord Lawson and the Murdoch press – a vision whereby fracking miraculously saves the economy and climate change is either not really happening or left to look after itself. They may not have access to the media foghorm enjoyed by their less progressive colleagues, but there are some Tories who still understand the existential threat posed by climate change, the value of the green economy, and the relationship between conservation and Conservatism. The big question for the UK's green political scene is whether or not there are enough of them and whether they can wrestle back control of a narrative that Lord Lawson and his friends have recently steered in their own direction.
For those that would challenge my assertion that I am (or can be) 'socially conservative', I can only refer you to things I have written on this blog previously:
A brief history of mine (12 March 2012).
Why I am not a socialist (25 June 2012).
Why I am not [just] a capitalist (26 June 2012).
Similarly, for those that would challenge my assertion that I am an environmental realist, I can only refer you to the following:
The problem with inverting reality (31 January 2012).
Conserving mass, water and energy (11 July 2012).
George Monbiot is as incisive as ever
I admit it, even though I am (or would like to be) socially conservative, George Monbiot is one of my heroes. His long track record of illuminating the stupidity of climate change scepticism was one of the reasons I decided to pursue the subject in my MA research.
In his most recent offering on his blog (and in the Guardian on 20 August), George has brillianly highlighted the astounding double standards at the heart of current UK energy policy:
"The government is introducing a special veto for local people to prevent the construction of wind turbines… [Whereas the] government's new planning guidance makes [Fracking] developments almost impossible to refuse… If local voters don't like it, they can go to hell…
It has taken me 20 years and an MA in Environmental Politics to work out why I was so uncomfortable being involved in the extractive industries (i.e. mineral exploitation). George achieved this in little more than a few minutes:
Extracting resources, like war, is the real deal: what politicians seem to consider a proper, manly pursuit. Conserving energy or using gas from waste or sustaining fish stocks are treated as the concerns of sissies and hippies: even if, in hard economic terms, they make more sense.
My final word on Fracking?
(Probably not!)
Herewith appended below is an email I sent today to Professor Iain Stewart (and copied to all those named in it).
However, please note that I have just found the BBC TV programme to which it refers has now been posted on You Tube (also appended below).
Dear Professor Stewart,
I wanted to express my appreciation for the sensitive way in which you handled the issues in last night's Horizon programme and for all the facts, figures and research findings it contained. I was particularly interested in the evidence that shale gas has escaped from poorly-constructed wells in the USA. Even if the UK can improve on the 6 to 7% failure rate in the USA, 100% success (i.e. no failures) is highly improbable. Therefore, if fracking must be pursued (for whatever reason), this would make it imperative that the British Geological Survey establish baseline monitoring for methane as soon as possible. Would it be possible to get a copy of the transcript of the programme (or a list of References)?
Given my geological background and my MA in Environmental Politics, I have written a great deal about Fracking and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) on my blog. However, having started out very much opposed to both Fracking and CCS, my position has evolved as a consequence of 'exchanges of views' I had last year with Professor Peter Styles (Keele) and with Professor Robert Mair (Cambridge/Royal Society). As a result of these exchanges – summarised or linked to here on my blog – I would agree with Peter that we probably need shale gas. However, I believe Peter also agrees with me that we probably cannot afford it*. I also understand that the remit of the Royal Society specifically excluded the long-term sustainability implications of pursuing fracking.
Nevertheless, this leaves me wondering whether you could encourage the BBC to do a second programme to address the consequences of humans burning all the Earth's fossil fuels simply because they are there; and/or the need for 'Western' per capita energy consumption to be drastically reduced? Having read David MacKay's book, Sustainable Energy: Without The Hot Air, I think our biggest problem is that most people do not think holistically about the problems we face or, even worse, they seem to think concepts such as 'ecological carrying capacity' are just [eco-Fascist] propaganda. However, although it would seem that CCS is now going to be essential in order to minimise anthropogenic climate disruption (ACD), I think it is also the biggest obstacle to getting politicians to take decisive action to decarbonise our power generation systems.
Even if such a second Horizon programme is not likely, I remain very appreciative of all you have done – and are doing – to raise the profile of ACD as an Earth Science issue that should be of concern to all.
Kind regards, [etc]
* If fracking becomes the new energy boom, it is very hard to see how CCS will ever be able to be rolled-out on a global scale to keep pace with unabated CO2 emissions.
Nick Reeves says we're all 'Fracking Mad'
The Stone Age did not end because we ran out of stone!
I know this has been said many times. Most recently it has been said by one of my favourite environmental commentators/campaigners, Executive Director of CIWEM (the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management), Nick Reeves OBE. If any new readers are not familiar with him, they may wish to start by typing his name into the Search this Blog box (in the right-hand column) and see what happens…
CIWEM publishes a monthly magazine, to which Reeves nearly always contributes an article. Last week, my copy of the May 2013 issue arrived early. It includes an article by Reeves entitled, ehem, "A bonkers energy solution". However, the online version is indeed entitled "Fracking Mad". Reeves begins with a seemingly bizarre discussion of the failings of the UK's education system. However, it soon becomes clear that he considers this to be at least partly to blame for the fact that the general public are willing to accept a "bonkers energy solution" such as hydraulic fracturing. However, it is UK government policy that is "bonkers" (the general public just don't seem to realise it):
Last December, the energy and climate change secretary, Ed Davey, gave the go-ahead for fracking (the controversial technology for releasing underground shale gas) as part of a plan for maximising the use of (so called) low-cost fuel. In so doing the government has thumbed its nose at legally binding carbon emissions targets and cuffed the country to a fossil-fuel future. Worse still, its commitment to fracking will undermine investment of billions of pounds in renewables, geothermal and energy efficiency. We now know that the 'greenest government ever' tag was shameless and that ministers are back-sliding on their commitment to a low-carbon and green economy.
Reeves goes on to recount the recent history of fracking in the UK and mentions all the (probably spurious) safety concerns. Like me, he focusses on the fact that we probably cannot afford to pursue fracking because of the long-term consequences doing so will have; and that we simply must find a way to do without it. However, he is more blunt than I have been, and criticises the reviews the Government commissioned for not making this point:
The scientists appear to have ignored the fact that no amount of control and regulation can stop shale gas from being a fossil fuel or from releasing carbon dioxide.
This is an important point well made. However, in defence of the scientists (and engineers) asked to determine whether fracking is 'safe', I would have to point out that the questions of the long-term environmental sustainability, sensibility and/or survivability of fracking were carefully excluded from the remit of the reviews that the Government asked them to undertake. Reeves therefore concludes that fracking is "a reckless move driven by ideology" that "will commit the UK to being a fossil fuel economy and not a low carbon one" for decades to come… And so, you can almost hear the frustration in Reeves' voice as he asks:
What will it take to get people to understand the seriousness of the climate change catastrophe that awaits us?
Reeves then goes on to talk about carbon budgets and our rapidly-declining chances of limiting global average temperature rise to 2 Celsius (compared to pre-1850) and makes the point many others have made that global reserves of fossil fuels are five times greater than that which we would have to burn in order to guarantee at least 2 Celsius temperature rise. As Reeves puts it:
In other words, we can only avoid devastating climate change if we keep most of the world's fossil fuels in the ground. But, is that possible? Can we deliberately forgo what many regard as our most precious energy resource – the fuels that have powered 200 years of industrialisation – for the sake of future generations? It is absolutely possible, and we must. The Stone Age did not end because we ran out of stone. (my emphasis)
The remainder of Reeves' article (which I would encourage all to read) is a typically incisive summary of how this problem is entirely solvable. We do not lack the technology or the resources to produce the electricity to provide for the needs of even 10 billion humans. What we (or at least our politicians) lack is the intellectual honesty to admit that the game is up. Fossil fuels are not the solution; they are the problem. Furthermore, the longer we (or they) fail to acknowledge this, the greater the problem will become.
Reeves looks at the situation from a range of perspectives, UK, EU and global. However, in the end, this is a problem that will only ever be solved by people demanding that their politicians solve it:
The dash for oil in the Arctic and the dash for shale gas elsewhere, shows that we are as addicted to fossil fuels as we ever were. But a low-carbon future is the one we must all fight for – our gift to the unborn.
Can technology save us?
I happened to stumble across a BBC TV Horizon special, entitled 'Tomorrow's World' last Thursday. It begins with a fascinating review of humankind's history of – and propensity for – invention. It also explains some truly fascinating – and inspiring – developments in the spheres of space exploration, nanotechnology, biotechnology, and power generation.
In the introduction, the programme presenter and narrator Liz Bronnin explains how, after 100s of thousands of years of technological stagnation, the fast-moving world of technological innovation is very definitely a modern invention.
She then looks at how, since our governments announced they were not going to do so, private investors are now involved in a race to return to the Moon (and win a $US 20 million prize). Just after 11 minutes in, however, economist Marianna Mazzucato makes the point that private sector development would never happen unless governments first spent money innovating (just look at your Computer, iPhone, or SatNav).
This is followed by an examination of the invention of graphene (i.e. the repeated use of sellotape to produce a film of graphite comprised of only one layer of carbon atoms in a hexagonal matrix). It is truly astonishing what graphene can do – including carry the weight of a cat…
After 23 minutes, a variety of talking heads demonstrate the complexity of modern science and the impossibility of any one person understanding it all. However, Bronnin then presents the example of Professor Robert Langer at MIT. What he is doing – and enabling others to do – is truly amazing; including potentially doing away with the need for chemotherapy to treat cancer.
After about 32 minutes, Bronnin introduces the power of the Internet to promote innovation – crowd-sourcing research funding and the concept of open-source technology – the complete abrogation of intellectual copyright… It is a fundamental challenge to globalised Capitalism; but it may well be the solution to many of our problems…
However, to me, the final third of the programme is by far the most fascinating… It looks at the challenges of finding a replacement for fossil fuels. It provides a very clear message that this is a technological challenge driven by the reality of physics – not by ideology.
It presents the case for synthetic biology, which has now succeeded in genetically modifying cyanobacteria so that they use photosynthesis to produce ethanol. This is brilliant, but, it is still only recycling CO2 (it is not removing it from the biosphere). With this technology, we could stop the CO2 content of the atmosphere from rising (but it will not help get it down again).
In the final 10 minutes of the programme, Bronnin presents the inspiring case of the British inventor, Michael Pritchard, who miniaturised water treatment technology as a result of watching the aftermath of the Boxing Day tsunami of 2004; when people were surrounded by water they could not drink… Indeed, to prove that it works, he even gets Bronnin (at 54 minutes) to drink water extracted from a tank including all kinds of unpleasant things including dog pooh…
For all these reasons, if you have not seen it, I would recommend that you watch the programme:
Re-engineering nature for our benefit will, without doubt, be very very useful. However, I still think the optimism of the comment at the very end of the programme "…I never worry about the future of the human race, because I think we are totally capable of solving problems…" is very unwise. This is because anthropogenic climate disruption is a problem that is getting harder to solve the longer we fail to address it effectively.
Bronnin concludes by saying that, "it is an exciting time to be alive…" However, I remain very nervous. This is because, as Professor Peter Styles of Keele University – a strong supporter of the hydraulic fracturing industry – recently acknowledged, it will be impossible for carbon capture and storage to remove enough CO2 from the atmosphere to prevent very significant changes to our climate. This is because of the collective hypnosis that deludes most people into seeing perpetual economic growth as the solution to all our problems.
In short, I am certain that technology alone cannot save us. In order to avoid the ecological catastrophe that all but the most ideologically-prejudiced and wilfully-blind can see developing all around us… we need to modify our behaviour: This primarily means that we need to acknowledge the injustice of a "use it up and wear it out" mentality and, as individuals, all learn to use an awful lot less energy.
Climate change "sceptics" have picked a fight with history and science – primarily with the concept of Entropy – and they will lose. The only question that remains is this: Are we going to let them put us all in (what xraymike79 recently called) 'the dustbin of failed evolutionary experiments'.

This is what I find hard to believe. Juan Castillo is definitely one of the best offensive line coaches in the NFL. He has been with the Eagles since before the Andy Reid era, and has earned Andy Reid's respect in every way. When you draft low round tackle's and know that Juan will eventually turn them into solid players. Look at this way, last year when Shawn Andrew's went down, Max-Jean Gilles had to step in. When MJG went down, Nick Cole had to step in. The very solid depth at offseason is amazing. This is why this controversy surrounding our beloved coach is so ridiculous.
"Eagles offensive line coach Juan Castillo is scheduled to be honored by his hometown of Port isabel, Texas and being given the key to the city.
This was a classic case of a young man who has climbed his way up from the bottom and become a tremendous success in a very demanding field.
Unfortunately, it's turned into a controversy because they have sceduled the event for July 4th which of course is Independence Day.
A number of the city's citizens object to him being honored on that date. They say that is a special date which should be reserved for honoring the people who have helped attain and maintain our freedom."
The fact that this man can not be honored by his hometown is ridiculous. We'll do it for you here in Philly!

Teen killed in Vermont crashApril 29,2013
ENOSBURG A standout high school basketball player in Vermont has died following a two-vehicle collision.
Police said 17-year-old Brandon Gleason of Enosburg was a front passenger in a Jeep when it collided with a pickup Friday night on Route 105 in Enosburg.
The Franklin County Sheriffs Office said Gleason later died at a St. Albans hospital. Gleason was a senior at Enosburg Falls High School and was the states Mountain Division player of the year this past season.
Capt. Jay Sweeny of the sheriffs office told WPTZ-TV that the driver of the pickup, 53-year old Patrick Prue of Franklin, was charged with driving under the influence, but that it hasnt been determined who was at fault in the crash.
