BBC Review
An album both novel and nostalgic, yet with an identity entirely of its own.
Al Fox 2012
Often, the term "timeless" only really functions in hindsight. But occasionally, something comes to the fore that transcends any concept of now, then, or otherwise.
One such example is the debut album for 29-year-old Manchester native Josephine Oniyama – or, for recording purposes, just plain Josephine. She manages the rare feat of creating something both novel and nostalgic, yet with an identity entirely its own.
A mere couple of bars into Portrait, and a pretty clear statement is delivered: the voice is very much the leader here, and everything else follows obediently. Vocally, Josephine is old beyond her years, possessing a rich, classical tone normally reserved for ancient, crackling vinyl. Even her cut-glass pronunciation has a peculiar Miss Jean Brodie quality to it, yet somehow offers a tender, inviting attribute concurrently.
The refined production builds around her, with playful folksiness and flecks of warm, accessible jazz. The subtle references to her West African heritage are pleasing too: the joyfully plonky percussion cheekily peeking out from under the neo-soul surface of Original Love, or the skeletal, breathy beats of I Think It Was Love. But for the most part, Manchester is a more palpable reference, the unaffected scent of northern soul permeating every note.
What A Day, in contrast, steps furthest from the niche Portrait works hard to carve, displaying an Amy Macdonald-style, demi-country twang. But it's very much a one-off visit, and beyond that, it's hard to hear anything other than Josephine on Josephine's terms.
Tonally, it's a leisurely, dignified collection, yet stretches to little over half an hour. That makes for an effective listen – where Portrait sets itself up to be a relaxing, protracted affair, the musical box melancholy of House of Mirrors provides a charming conclusion. And it doesn't leave you feeling short-changed; rather, it piques curiosity for Josephine's next chapter.
A pigeonhole-obsessed media will have a hard time finding any fitting sound-alikes in today's market, and such a mature, elegant guise will have many scratching their heads. But by and large, that's probably testament to what a unique prospect Josephine is.

Steve Benen over at The Maddow blog has provided links to a couple of good arguments against banning 20-week abortions.
The first is THIS ONE from Andrew Rosenthal:
The way the Catholic Association mentions �late-term� abortions, you might think the only women who had them were lazy and callous, just waiting around until the last second for no good reason.
But as Cecile Richards, the head of Planned Parenthood, told me in an email, nearly 99 percent of abortions occur before 21 weeks; abortions later on often involve rare, severe fetal abnormalities and real threats to a woman�s health. In ...

PHOENIX -- The next month will see A's fans get used to a boatload of new pitchers who figure to have an impact in Oakland in 2014.
Over that same span, the A's catching corps will have to come up to speed with those pitchers, learning how they like to attack hitters, how much confidence they have in their different pitches and how much they need a catcher's help.
Stephen Vogt has been down this road before. The A's purchased his contract from Tampa Bay last year, bringing him to an organization whose pitchers he didn't know. The knowledge gap wasn't a deal-breaker because, as assistant general manager Farhan Zaidi said, "we were getting him for depth" and there was going to be time to break him in slowly.
It didn't happen quite that way.
Vogt came up for a week in June when the A's needed some backup, went back to Triple-A Sacramento, then had to be called up July 25 when the A's placed John Jaso on the seven-day disabled list with a concussion. Jaso never returned, leaving Vogt the sole lefty-hitting catcher on the roster, sharing playing time with right-handers Derek Norris and Kurt Suzuki.
"It was really a smooth transition," starting pitcher A.J. Griffin said of Vogt. "How well we did is a testament to how well he played and how fast he learned."
The A's did well enough to win the American League West, and in the playoffs, it was Vogt, who hit .242 with four homers in the regular season, starting all five games of the A.L. Division Series. In Game 2, it was his bases-loaded single in the ninth inning that gave the A's and Grant Balfour a 1-0 win after Sonny Gray had teamed with Vogt to shut out the Detroit Tigers for eight innings.
Now Jaso, who was an impact player (.271 batting average, .387 on-base percentage), is back. Norris, seen as the catcher of the future, is in the mix, too, along with Vogt.
A's pitchers enjoy working with Vogt well enough that he and Norris could wind up sharing the job. In that plan, Jaso would serve at D.H.
"He has a good idea of what (pitchers) want to throw," starter Jarrod Parker said of Vogt, "and he knows what they should throw."
Vogt, an outfielder and first baseman in addition to catching with Tampa Bay, is getting a chance to do nothing but catch for the first time in the big leagues. But he's not getting ahead of himself.
"Last year was a special team, and I was lucky to come here to be part of it," he said. "It was a dream come true."
Now, however, "I am here trying to win a job," he said.
"Being part of a pennant race was the greatest thing I'd been through. Now we have six or seven new pitchers. It's not like having to learn a whole new staff. But it's part of preparing to win.
"Now that I'm not in the outfield or at first base, there's more clarity about my role."
Or there would be if there weren't so many catchers and first basemen in camp. In addition to Vogt, Norris and Jaso, the A's brought in another veteran, Chris Gimenez, who has played in the big leagues with the Cleveland, Seattle and Tampa Bay. At first base, if both Brandon Moss and Daric Barton make the team, there likely will be room for only two catchers.
"Catching is a really deep position here," Vogt said. "We all know that. But look at last year. We needed that depth, plus Kurt, just to get through the second half of the season."
For more on the A's, see John Hickey's Insider at blogs.ibabuzz.com/athletics. Follow him on Twitter at twitter.com/JHickey3.
A look at the 2013 major league statistics for catchers on the A's current 40-man roster (right-handed hitters Derek Norris and free-agent signee Chris Gimenez, and left-handed hitters John Jaso and Stephen Vogt):

Best Owned Car Yet
by Frequent Car Owner from Philadelphia Suburb | November 29, 2010
Over the years we have spoiled ourselves with way too many cars. However, we've experienced enough to know what is good. Our FX45 is absolutely wonderful. So wonderful, that we want one a piece. So in about a year, mine will be passed down, and I will get another/newer one. We only want the original body style, though. It will take a long time to warm-up to the current look. I especially look forward to long trips (to Maine). Confidence at high speeds is such a great feeling. My only complaint is the cost of new tires. At $300 each, it becomes more than a pollyanna christmas gift. Otherwise, a most enjoyable car.

It ain't your mom's SUV!
by James from Maui, HI | April 25, 2009
If you don't like the stares, then this ain't for you. Infiniti just has that "cool" factor in which you can drive a luxury, but not have to be old. The versatility of an SUV, but the performance and drive of a sports vehicle (G35 to be more specific). Great vehicle!

The Answer to your 4WD SUV/ Sports Car/ Needs
by FX45 Driver from Florida | April 3, 2007
There really isn't much out there that comes close. Here are the Reasons 1. It handles like a G35 coupe/ Nissan 350Z 2. Gives you the versatility of a stationwagon or hatchback 3. One of the most advanced 4WD/RWD platforms on the market. 4. Rock Solid Reliablility 5. Japanese Low-Maintenance (No-Maintainance) 6. Inexpensive to own and a Thrill Ride to drive. My first impressions of this vehicle were "This thing must defy the laws of physics because an SUV or Crossover should not be this fast and handle like a car half of its size" I was sold after the test drive but, the navigation, reverse rear camera, 20 inch wheels and overall versatility were just icing on the cake. The other cool thing about this car IF you get the navigation is the ability to see and control virtually all of the vehicles electronic systems. For example you can see your realtime fuel economy and figure out who much idle control you need while driving to achieve 20 MPG. On the same token you can see exactly when and where your wasting gas by your lead foot habits. The birds eye view of the navigation is phenonmenal and there is too much info to go into concerning the amount of features you can control but this vehicle is "Complete" to say the least. The only reason this vehicle gets a 9 and not a 10 is because it doesn't have the fit and finish in the interior of a Lexus or mercedes and isn't as fast as a Porsche Cayenne Turbo (0-60 in about One Second quicker. ) With that being said, Lexus doesn't have anything that even comes close (RX330 forget about it, not fun to drive) Lexus vehicles are great but they ARE NOT drivers cars and ................$300 Oil changes combined with the monthly car payment of a $90,000 dollar Porsche all for a just about a One Second difference faster from 0 to 60 make buying one a very impractical idea. The FX45 is half the price of a Cayenne Turbo ( not to be forgoten is that this vehicle is faster than the Cayenne, Cayenne S every BMX X5 including the most recent 2007 models) You can't go wrong with this vehicle but, if you buy it I strongly recommend getting the technology package including Navigation, rear camera and all the extras. In Conclusion, you guessed it, I love the Car.

VOLUME 15, NUMBER 14 THE STORYTELLING MONTH NOVEMBER 7, 1986 MVP gets underway with consumer council, utility board recruiting At the heart of the Tribes' plans for the management of Mission Valley Power (MVP) -- formerly known as the F1IP power division - are two citizen-consumer groups. Recruiting for the 12 people who will be recommending policy began late last month. The Tribal Council met with members of various local governments in a partially closed meeting in Pablo on Oct. 30 to explain the new plan of operations that went into effect a few days earlier. A week later, Council chairman Ron Therriault and Tribal attorney Pat Smith made follow-up calls to commissioners in Lake, Sanders and Missoula counties, asking them to recruit nominees for a seven-member consumer council. Therriault explained that the commissioners' recommendations would be considered by BIA Flathead Agency superintendent Wyman Babby, who would be appointing the consumer council, the make-up of which would include two MVP power customers from Lake County, and one each from Sanders and Missoula counties. The remaining three would be selected "at large". Of the seven to be selected by the end of the year, at least one but not more than two will be enrolled Tribal members, Therriault pointed out. The council will be meeting at least four times a year, and members would Former councilman Louis Adams became a current councilman after he easily won the Nov. 1 special election. Adams will be representing the Arlee district until Dec. 1987, as a replacement for Kevin Howlett, who resigned this past September.

Its two main purposes will be to recommend policy to the second consumer group, the five-member policy-making utility board to be appointed by the Tribal Council at the end of this month, and to serve as an appeals board for customer complaints. He said that people interested in being on the consumer council would be told to state their interest and backgrounds in a letter that should go to either Babby (at Drawer A in Pablo) or to their county commissioner - or both. The utility board, on the other hand, will have five members, all of whom would be appointed by the Tribal Council. While the only qualifications for consumer council membership would be residency (four of the seven) and power-customer status, utility board members would need to have a background in business management. Three of the five will also have to be (Continues on page two) Canvassed totals for all five were: Louis Adams, 236 Alvin "Snuse" McClure, 172 Henry "Hank" Baylor, 113 Stella Morigeau, 81 Richard "Dick" Barber, 61 Adams will be sworn in Nov. 7.

TRUCKEE, Calif. - A Floriston man suffered major injuries after the off-road vehicle he was driving collided head-on with a train Saturday afternoon near the California-Nevada state border, officials confirmed Monday.
Winthrop E. Crowell, 44, was airlifted to Renown Hospital in Reno after the incident.
According to a California Highway Patrol press release, Crowell was driving a special-construction, dune buggy-type vehicle eastbound along the tracks, east of Farad Road and just west of the Sierra County line, when his tires got stuck inside the rails and he was unable to free his left-side wheels.
Unable to swerve off the tracks and with a train approaching, Crowell slowed his vehicle enough for his passenger, Rachel Lamoreux, 45, of Truckee, to jump out before he continued to try to free his vehicle from the tracks.
The train, operated by Aaron D. Putnam, 29, of Citrus Heights, Calif., was traveling westbound on the same set of tracks and was unable to slow or stop for the vehicle. It collided head-on with the vehicle around 1:40 p.m.
Lamoreux sustained scrapes and scratches after jumping to safety. Putnam was uninjured.
The accident is still under investigation.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The suspect in a fatal shooting on Camille Street Wednesday morning has been arrested.
Ronnie Lee Berrian, 28, has been charged with murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.
Russell Boyd and Berrian allegedly got into a fight, which is when Berrian got out his firearm. Boyd tried to run away, but investigators say Berrian chased after him and shot him in the street.
Boyd was pronounced dead at 9:10 a.m. The 66-year-old had at least one gunshot wound in his torso. His body will be sent to the GBI Lab in Augusta on Thursday for an autopsy.
Neighbor Betty Palmer was shocked to learn someone was killed just feet from her home.
"Been there 52 years, never heard never seen nothing like this before on this street," she said. "And when I heard two shots, I came out and the man was lying in the street."
News 12 spoke to the victim's sister. Samantha Boyd told News 12 he was well known in the area, she said, "I'm quite sure he was probably here with a friend or talking to someone he knows or maybe even collecting his money from grass that he's already cut."
She claims he owns a beauty salon in Wrens and cuts grass on the side.
This is Richmond County's 23rd murder for the year.

Hi there,
that's my first post although I'm using PMS quite a while now. Great software, most of the time it was my fault, when it was not working. The last time I had to install libmediainfo and everything was fine again.
But now I had again problems that PMS detected MP4 containers (X264 video, AAC audio) as MPEG-2 videos and transcoded them. That lead to very bad quality compared to the "real" video streams. All my videos are DVD material converted to these codecs or HD videos with 720p. I tested all the videos with XBMC as UPNP server and they worked great...no hint in the debug.log why PMS is transcoding them. And now the surprise: after some remuxing and trying to find the cause a simple UNIX "touch" command to all video files solved the problem!? PMS generated all thumbnails from scratch and everything worked fine. Does anyone have any idea what's my problem?
Is there documentation available on PMS's decision strategy to transcode or not? Code browsing is also ok.
Ahh, my system is a very exotic Linux system (http://www.crux.nu) with nearly all packages compiled by myself. So I know at least what I did
Thanks for any hint!

The Camden County commission has changed direction after Commissioner Bev Thomas raised concerns over a proposed ordinance last week.
The Casas Del Lago in Osage Beach subdivision contacted the county about building an entrance to include gates and a security building, but needed the correct permits to begin the process. Since the construction would take place on a road, the county had to make a decision.
During the July 23 commission meeting, commissioners looked at a proposed ordinance that would allow Casas Del Lago permission to build on their private road. Since the ordinance only applied to one subdivision, Thomas was not comfortable with moving forward with the ordinance. Commissioners Kris Franken and Cliff Luber agreed and tabled the issue for further review.
Commissioners now plan to sign off on a resolution that would allow the subdivision to build on the road but would not become a county wide ordinance. The resolution is to include a section requiring the subdivision to have liability insurance on their new construction.
Thomas told the Lake Sun that the road will continue to be a private road.
The resolution is on the agenda for the August 1 commission meeting.

Had the pleasure of arguing about the reasons for Eugenia Ledoux's father's disappearance, of describing why Aline is your favourite member of the Lacuna Cabal Montreal Young Women's Book Club or practicing the Depression-era slang you learned from pickpocket Mona Kantor and her lover, Daily Star reporter Eli Morenz. By picking a Coach House title for your book club selection, you'll not only be reading compelling, Canadian-authored books, you'll also be able to discuss how a book is made, and the kind of paper it's printed on – Coach House is one of only three Canadian publishers that prints its books in house, and the virtual tour on our website can add a new dimension to your book club's literary discussions.
So grab a glass of wine, take a look through our book club titles and accompanying Q&As and let us know if anything strikes your fancy. We offer a 15% discount for book club purchases made through our website – email firstname.lastname@example.com to arrange for a bulk purchase or to discuss whether one of our authors could visit your next book club meeting!
A nuanced portrait of a family, of the devastating reach of childhood grief. The Combals are not unacquainted with death: they have never quite recovered from the loss of one of them in childhood. And now, on Valentine's Day, they are losing another.
Told in a stark, minimalist voice, Isobel and Emile is the hypnotizing story of two lovers without each other. It is a story of struggling with loss and a loneliness that threatens to consume them. It is about staying true to what they hold dear, no matter that it is hopeless and that nothing will ever come of it, because sometimes that is all that is left.
Set in rural Arkansas during a terrible blizzard, The Drifts follows the stories of four characters: Julie, unexpectedly expectant at forty-six; her husband, Charlie, who had an affair with his best friend Wilson, who's now in love with Dol; and Dol, a divorced transsexual father of two.
Join Matron Giggy Andrews and her brood for a summer of cold cocktails and sultry afternoons, occasionally interrupted by one whippet, two peacocks, a seductive veterinarian and some very mysterious circumstances.
Cheer for nine-year-old Phin and his best friend Bird as they launch a top secret mission to save Cuddles the tree frog from a life in captivity.

FLORENCE, Italy – Every day during the Islanders men's basketball team's overseas tour in Italy, GoIslanders.com will bring you Postcards from Italy – a combination of photos from the day's activities and a brief recap on the events from members of the men's basketball team.
In today's installment, sophomore Cole Martinez takes you through his second day in Florence.
Yesterday was one of my best days here. We had the whole day to look around and explore the city without any scheduled tours, practices, or games.
I woke up about 9:00 and had breakfast at the hotel before heading out. The first thing we did was climb to the top of the tower of the cathedral (414 steps) to the highest point in the city. The view was spectacular. I could see the whole city with the mountains in the background.
We then went to the market area. It looked like a big flea market you would see at home, except it was down a few of the streets. The thing I found funny is how relentless these people are when trying to get you buy their stuff. If you even look at one thing they come at you asking a bunch of questions trying to get you to buy.
Then we went to one of the museums in the town square dedicated to one of the families that used to be in power. The very first room we walked in had about 12 sculptures along the sides of this huge room. The thing that I really found amazing was the paintings on the ceiling, not just in the large first room, but every room had paintings on the ceiling.
The best part about the whole museum was a statue of Jesus made from ash and steel wood. It was just a statue of just his chest and above but the size and detail is what made it great. In my opinion, behind the Statue of David, this statue was the best piece of art in the city.
I think this trip has been great overall for our team. I know I speak for everyone saying we are experiencing new things and seeing things that we could not imagine. The size and age of the buildings along with all the detail in the art is the thing that really gets me. The trip has also been good for us as a team. We are really coming together and you can see it on the court. The squad has a different feel to it this year and I think we can do some big things when the season comes.
We are on the way to Rome as I write this and to me the best part of the trip. I can't wait to go see the Coliseum and the Vatican. I have done reports in school on the Coliseum and seen many movies, so to see it in person will be amazing. Also, being a Catholic, the Vatican is a very special place, and since this may be my only chance in my life to go see it, I feel it will be a very special experience. Plus we have our last two games against even better competition, and we are all looking forward to getting back on the court after a few days off. Got to stay undefeated!
Take care.
-Cole Martinez
A new component of Postcards from Italy is Coach Wilson's rating of the gelato from various places throughout the country. This came after Maury Hanks, the leader of our trip, told Coach about the quality of the gelato in the town of Bellagio. Every day, we'll have Coach's ratings of the dessert at the end of the postcard.
Day 1 – Milan – 8
Day 1 – Varese (Buosi Gelato) – 8
Day 2 – Varese (Varese center) – 6
Day 3 – Varese center (Blueberry/Raspberry) – 7
Day 4 – Bellagio – 9
Day 5 – Florence – 7
Day 6 – Florence – 7

Michigan Company Unveils Electric Vehicle Systems Manufacturing Facility Funded by Recovery Act
In support of President Obama's all-of-the-above energy strategy to address the high price of gasoline and reduce America's dependence on foreign oil, the Energy Department today announced the opening of an electric vehicle (EV) component manufacturing facility in Grand Blanc Township. The Magna E-Car Systems plant received $40 million in Recovery Act funding from the Energy Department, and will provide components for electric drive vehicle systems, including those in the 2012 Ford Focus electric vehicle. By advancing U.S. manufacturing of advanced vehicle technologies, this facility helps support the Department's EV Everywhere Challenge, a broad initiative to make electric vehicles more affordable and convenient to own and drive than today's gasoline-powered vehicles within the next 10 years.
"This critical investment in the electric vehicle supply chain will help bring the next generation of clean, efficient cars and trucks to the road, reducing our dependence on foreign oil and helping to address the high price of gasoline," said Energy Department Vehicle Technologies Program Manager Patrick Davis. "Domestic manufacturing plants like this one in Grand Blanc Township are helping to create jobs in the U.S., enhance our energy security, and lay the foundation for an American economy that is built to last."
The 50,000 square foot production facility will have the capacity to manufacture a variety of EV components in high-volume under one roof, and next year will be able to produce 500,000 electric drive vehicle components. Production has already started, and at full production, the plant will be capable of manufacturing electric motors, power electronics, battery chargers, and vehicle controllers, enabling it to assemble complete electric vehicle drivetrains and further strengthen the manufacturing supply chain.
The Magna E-Car Systems plant highlighted today is one of 30 advanced battery and electric drive manufacturing facilities supported by the Recovery Act. At full scale, these factories will have the annual capacity to supply batteries and components to more than 500,000 electric drive vehicles. The Obama Administration's support for research, development, and manufacturing is helping to revitalize America's auto industry and meet its goal to reduce oil imports by one-third by 2025. In addition to increasing the fuel-economy of traditional cars and trucks, the Administration's support for advanced technology vehicles is offering consumers and businesses new, fuel-efficient options for the vehicles they drive.
The Energy Department's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) accelerates development and facilitates deployment of energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies and market-based solutions that strengthen U.S. energy security, environmental quality, and economic vitality. The Vehicle Technologies Program funds research and development for energy efficient and environmentally friendly vehicle technologies.

Great game, sleek design, BUY IT!
Intriguing, a clean design, and makes it easy to suspend your disbelief.
Cool, but kinda gets a little bit repeditive after a few hours.
Play it in a computer lab, with stupid people around who can't tell it's a game and you will have a LOT of fun :)
Bought this game a long time ago. I found it to be a game for people with a lot of imagination, who perhaps are quite dissatisfied with the current batch of "in-your-face" games.

DENVER - A recent ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court could change Colorado's latest debate over marijuana driving limits.
Opponents are hoping lawmakers reject the blood standard again this year, based in part on a ruling issued this week that says officers must try to obtain a search warrant from a judge before ordering blood tests to determine driver impairment.
The high court's decision stemmed from a Missouri drunk-driving case in which a man's blood was taken without a warrant. The prevailing justices determined the blood test was an unreasonable search of an unwilling driver. Justices noted "physical intrusion beneath (the defendant's) skin and into his veins to obtain a blood sample."
Because there's no breath test for marijuana impairment, pot activists hope the ruling inspires Colorado lawmakers to abandon the idea of a pot analogy for drunk-driving standards.
A bill up for a hearing Monday in the state Senate is the fourth attempt by lawmakers to set a blood standard for determining whether a driver is stoned.
"I don't see a feasible way for this move forward, the way it's written," said Jason Warf, head of the Colorado Springs Medical Cannabis Council and an outspoken opponent of the proposed blood limit, set a 5 nanograms per milliliter of blood for THC, the psychoactive ingredient in pot.
Supporters of the bill insist they'll press on. The sponsor of the bill, Republican Sen. Steve King of Grand Junction, said Colorado will rely on the state's "implied consent" standard, which means that licensed drivers agree to blood tests. That "implied consent" negates the need for officers to seek warrants to test blood, he argued.
Colorado drivers can decline blood tests and instead give up their licenses for a year.
"You have already given your consent my having a driver's license," King said. "You have already said, I will give you permission to take blood or breath to determine whether I am in fact impaired by alcohol or drugs."
The bill doesn't expressly address the procedure for taking blood from suspected drugged drivers.
Instead, it states that in criminal driving impairment cases, drivers who test about the 5 nanogram limit can be inferred to be impaired. It's a standard that would allow defendants to argue they were sober, despite elevated THC blood levels. In alcohol DUI cases, defendants above legal blood-alcohol limits can't argue they were safe to drive.
Lawmakers have considered similar driving-high blood standards three times before. But earlier proposals have faltered amid fears that because the body processes marijuana differently than it processes alcohol, a DUI blood analogy is problematic. Current drugged-driving convictions rely heavily on officer observation that a driver isn't sober.
"Marijuana does not metabolize in the same way that alcohol does. Which is part of the reason the Legislature has had so much trouble trying to figure this out," said Sam Kamin, a University of Denver law professor who served on a state panel to craft marijuana regulations.
Opponents of a blood standard are hoping to appeal to senators Monday to accommodate the physical differences between booze and pot.
Sean McAllister, a Denver defense attorney who specialized in impaired-driving cases, said he's hoping lawmakers exempt medical marijuana patients from the bill.
"I think there is an ethical difference between a patient taking a medicine and having certain blood levels, and a person taking it recreationally to get high," McAllister said.

FHP Cracking Down on Speeders This Weekend
Published: Thursday, November 22, 2012 at 9:24 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 22, 2012 at 9:24 a.m.
ORLANDO | The Florida Highway Patrol has about 1,600 troopers on duty this holiday weekend to crack down on speeders and aggressive drivers.
Sgt. Kim Montes told the Orlando Sentinel that the FHP isn't setting up speed traps but is trying to protect everyone's safety.
Thirty people died on Florida roads during last year's Thanksgiving weekend, down from 38 in 2010.
The state's heaviest congestion points are expected to be Interstate 95 in Brevard County and the intersection of Interstate 75 and Florida's Turnpike in Sumter County.

What began 25 years ago with 1,000 little plastic ducks floating down the Blue River has now matured into a full-fledged competition, with about 10,000 ducks bouncing and battling it out to reach the finish line.
The Great Rubber Duck Race raises about $80,000 for The Summit Foundation, an organization that awards scholarships to Summit High School seniors and supports more than 80 nonprofits in Summit, Park, Lake and Grand counties. In June, it gave out $100,000, and this November it will dole out about $600,000 to support the arts, education, health, sports and the environment, according to Elisabeth Lawrence, marketing coordinator. Since its establishment in 1984, it has awarded more than $14.5 million, much of it thanks to the ducks. The Great Rubber Duck Race raises the bulk of those bills.In addition to three races and a duck-decorating contest, The Summit Foundation offers a silver anniversary commemorative duck, as well as a drawing for a wooden-cottage-styled playhouse worth $3,000. Tickets for the drawing are $25; the drawing takes place Saturday.At 1 p.m., the kids' race kicks off with a real dunk: This year, the Red, White & Blue Fire District will dump the ducks into Maggie Pond from the top of its fire truck."They're taking it very serious and testing it out," Lawrence said, explaining how the firefighters will ensure all the ducks drop at once from a tarp so no duck is at an unfair advantage.Up to 750 ducks - "dressed" as boy or girl skiers - will rain upon the Maggie.Though the kids' ducks cost double what regular racing ducks do ($10, as opposed to $5), they have an enormously better shot at winning. The Summit Foundation limits the total kids' ducks to 750 (up from 500 last year, so yes, the competition is getting a little more stiff) and hands prizes to the first 40 or so winning kids. Peak-A-Boo Toys in Breckenridge donates toys for winners, and runners-up receive kid-friendly restaurant certificates, free snow tubing and free ski passes.At 2 p.m., ducks purchased by businesses battle it out for a snowcat trip for 12 at Ski Cooper (donated by 1stBank). As of last weekend, 150 businesses had bought their ducks for $100 a pop; most years, 150-200 business ducks show up for the feisty float.Besides the race, businesses can decorate ducks, which measure 9 inches tall and 12 inches long, and display them at 1stBank in Breckenridge. Winners garner a painting party at Ready, Paint, Fire.The ducks will don their crazy outfits at 1stBank until Friday, and then they'll strut their stuff on the lawn adjacent to the Riverwalk Center Saturday. Don't miss these: Hudson Auto Source transformed its duck into a monster truck; Peak-A-Boo made a flamingo; a group of orthopedic surgeons cut theirs open and added bones and joints; and Breckenridge Distillery conjured up a moonshining duck, complete with a barrel of whiskey.The main race starts at 3 p.m., as ducks ride over the waterfall, into the pond and through the Blue River. People arrive in Breck early in the morning to stake out a spot along the river, so be forewarned. Prizes, such as ski passes, a dinner at Keystone Ranch and gift certificates go out to the first 50 or so winners of the regular race. But look out - 8,000-10,000 ducks show up, purchased by the 6,000-7,000 people who participate, Lawrence said.The duck races also include kids' activities, like a bounce house and face painting, which start at 10 a.m. At 11:30 a.m., Lowe's Build and Grow workshops helps the first 200 kids build something really cool to take home. The barbecue heats up at 11 a.m."The atmosphere at the Blue River is so fun," Lawrence said. "It's a community tradition."Info: www.summitfoundation.org
For the 37th year, approximately 100 artists show their finest pieces at the Great Divide Art Festival. It's the oldest and most prestigious art festival in Breckenridge, said marketing coordinator Karin Bearnarth, and it ranks in the top 50 art festivals in the nation.Mark Beling and Judith Pollock, owners of J&M Jewelry, handpick the artists - and they endure a rigorous selection process, Bearnarth said."She really only accepts the crme de la crme," Bearnarth said, "and he travels nationwide (looking for artists).""I love bringing art to the Summit County community and exposing our patrons to the wide variety of artists that are so uniquely talented," Beling said. "I am very committed to providing the highest quality of juried art shows possible."Artists include the likes of Kathy Sigle, who visits working ranches and wildlife areas to inspire her paintings; Beth Erlund, who fell in love with batiking after spending over two years in Japan; Ben' Jamin' Stielow, a metal wielder who "brings his works to life" and Pietra Wall, a native Italian who, along with her husband, combine leather with stone, copper, shells and wood. Jewelers like Jerry Scavezze and Chris Nelson will showcase their "tiny sculptures," often set in gold and adorned with gems.Info: www.mountainartfestivals.com
It's a little hard to believe, but the Breckenridge Wine and Spirits Festival just came aboard the town's Labor Day festivities a few years ago. And only in the last two years have the spirits arrived.The festival features live music, wine and hard liquor from 10 wineries and five spirit companies throughout the nation - and, of course, the state."We have added Colorado wines and spirits, and the response has been phenomenal," Bearnarth said. Ten sampling tickets cost $20 and include a commemorative wine glass. "But, of course, 10 tasting tickets won't nearly be enough," Bearnarth said, explaining that additional tasting tickets cost $2. Proceeds benefit the Breckenridge Festival of Film.During the event, Trading Fours Jazz Band, Dru Carter and Warsaw Poland Brothers will perform. Trading Fours features locals Jeremiah Johnson on sax and Peter Taylor on guitar. They've brought their jazz and pop tunes to bars and resorts throughout Summit County and have even played at the Breckenridge Jazz and Wine Festival.Dru Carter mixes his original songs with high-energy, acoustic rock.The Warsaw Poland Brothers headline the day with their Celtic, ska, punk and reggae fusion."The Warsaw Poland Brothers opened the Celtic Festival last year, and they blew everyone away," Bearnarth said. In the last dozen years, The Warsaw Poland Brothers have inspired a generation of ska/punk musicians, including Slightly Stoopid and Authority Zero. But don't let the ska scare you: These guys groove from one genre to another, fueled by two trombone virtuosos.In addition to spirits and songs, the Audi pace car from the Pikes Peak Race will be on hand, and artists from the Breckenridge Farmer's Market will show their wares, including a man who spray paints huge canvases."It's one of the last big weekends of summer," Bearnarth said, "so there is a variety of things for locals and visitors to do on both the north side and south side of town."Info: www.townofbreckenridge.com

Will the redesigned S.M. Wright Freeway be the Turtle Creek Boulevard of South Dallas?
S.M. Wright Freeway redesign from Steve Thompson on Vimeo.
A Dallas City Council briefing Wednesday afternoon about the re-do of S.M. Wright Freeway, elimination of Dead Man's Curve and the project's job training opportunities covered much of the same ground as Rudy Bush's and Tom Benning's story.
But the presentation also touched on some design elements of the S.M. Wright project as it transforms from a highway into a six-lane boulevard.
The new S.M. Wright is expected to include sustainable landscaping, gateway monuments, wide sidewalks to accommodate pedestrians and bicyclists and a water feature at Pine Street that would also help filter storm water runoff. The plans also call for keeping many of the mature live oak trees along the highway.
The plans also incorporates some "complete streets" principles popular in some — but not all — parts of Dallas. "Complete streets" encourages mixed-use development and emphasizes multiple modes of transportation — walking, cycle and mass transit — instead of relying entirely on cars.
Afterward, Matthew Craig, a vice president at the engineering and architecture firm Hallf Associates, said there was a desire to create a signature boulevard Dallas would be proud of. It's expected, he said, to be South Dallas' answer to Turtle Creek Boulevard.

3.5-4 Rules of
Comparative Negligence
Revised to January 1, 2008
As I have explained, the plaintiff
has claimed that the (collision / incident) was caused by the defendant's
negligence, and the defendant has claimed that it was caused by the plaintiff's
own negligence. If you find that negligence on the part of BOTH parties was a
substantial factor in causing the (collision / incident), then the law is that
the plaintiff can recover damages from the defendant only to the extent of the
defendant's fault and may not recover damages to the extent that (he/she)
(himself/herself) was at fault.
If the plaintiff was more at fault
than the defendant, then the plaintiff cannot recover any damages.
Here is an example to make this rule
clear: If the plaintiff was 20% at fault and the defendant was 80% at fault,
the plaintiff recovers 80% of (his/her) damages. If the plaintiff was 50% at
fault and the defendant was 50% at fault, the plaintiff recovers 50% of
(his/her) damages. However, if the plaintiff was more than 50% at fault,
(he/she) was more at fault than the party (he/she) has sued, and (he/she)
recovers no damages.
Just as an example, suppose the
plaintiff's total damages were $100. If the plaintiff was 30% at fault and the
defendant was 70% at fault, the plaintiff would recover 70% of the $100, or
$70. The plaintiff would thus not receive payment for the part of (his/her)
damages caused by (his/her) own negligence. Obviously, the numbers used are
just for the sake of an example. I could have used $10,000 or $10 million.

A Tiara for a Queen
Posted by Shreve & Co. at 1:30:10 PM in Kwiat (29)
What is Kwiat Tiara Diamond? It is a diamond that has garnered the Excellent Cut Grade from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). The Kwiat Tiara Logo which is laser-inscribed on the girdle of each stone guarantees diamond quality fitting for royalty. As exceptional as a Tiara Diamond could be, its maximum appeal could only be achieved by an exquisite setting. Only the finest precious metals give justice to the brilliant beauty of Kwiat Tiara Diamonds. That is why each Kwiat diamond ring is crafted in platinum, one of the finest and rarest metals in the world. Platinum's purity and sheen survives through time while its strength allows holds the precious stones securely in place. The perfect brilliance of the diamonds and the exquisitely designed setting makes every Kwiat diamond ring truly a stunning jewel fit for the queen of your life. So why settle for less?
Give her the best. Come to Shreve & Co. at their location in Post Street, San Francisco and choose from Kwiat's Classic, Vintage or Modern ring collections.

The same Boy Scout council that last year expelled a gay teen who was trying to earn Eagle status has now adopted new guidelines that will be the cornerstone of a push to get the Boy Scouts of America to adopt a nationwide nondiscrimination policy in May.
Ryan Andresen, 18, of Moraga, was expelled from Scouting last fall after he told his scoutmaster that he objected to the organization's "Duty to God" requirement and that he is gay. He then appeared on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," sharing his story of how he was initially told that his sexual orientation wouldn't be an obstacle.
Six months later, a petition supporting Andresen's quest to attain Eagle rank, posted online days before his expulsion in October, has gained the support of more than 475,000 people.
The Mt. Diablo-Silverado Boy Scout Council this week released results of a survey that found 65 percent of those who answered want to change the current membership policy that bans gays. Moreover, among Scouts, 81 percent supported LGBT youth and leader involvement in Scouting, according to the council's Scout Executive, John Fenoglio.
"After months of rejection under the Boy Scouts of America's hurtful anti-gay policy, it's certainly encouraging to see an overwhelming majority of our Scouting community standing with Ryan," said Eric Andresen. "I truly hope that these are more than just words on paper, and that the Mt. Diablo-Silverado Council makes sure their membership is heard at the National Council Meeting this May."
Eric Andresen said he is keeping his son out of the spotlight. "The whole experience has been too much for him,'' he said in an email.
Fenoglio said the local council does not know the exact resolution that will be presented at the Scouts' National Council in May.
"We will advocate for a change of the policy, based on the resolution when it is presented," he said.
The move comes as the Boy Scouts of America, faced with an escalating backlash against their ban on gays, have distributed a questionnaire to more 1.1 million adult scouts, parents, volunteers and alumni. The survey presents fictional situations to determine where Scouting's membership falls on questions of homosexuality, gays camping with children and gays in church leadership.
The information from councils nationwide will be presented to the executive officers in April. They will then develop a resolution to be voted on by the Scouts' National Council in May, said Boy Scouts of America spokesman Deron Smith.
While his local council's backing of a new membership policy doesn't guarantee Ryan Andresen will receive his Eagle rank, the move by his home Scouting council is a move in the right direction, said Scouts for Equality founder Zach Wahls.
"(The) announcement is just a piece of all the incredible news we're starting to hear from all across the country," said Wahls. "There are just 65 days until the May vote, and Mt. Diablo-Silverado Council has shown what's possible when we come together in friendly, courteous conversation."

These Borla polished stainless steel intercooled exhaust tips have cooling fins around the inside of the pipe to cool and condense exhaust gases, reducing backpressure and mellowing out your exhaust tone. Engineered for top performance, Borla delivers maximum low-end torque and top-end horsepower. These tips are offered in round or square outlets.
History and information about Borla and their products.
Every Borla Cat-Back System, Header and Rear Section Exhaust is constructed of aircraft-quality authenticate stainless steel and is stainless inside and out and utilizes T-304 stainless steel because it is the most resistant to corrosion culminating in a long-lasting and resilient exhaust system. Bigger is not always better because big pipes can divest the exhaust of energy and additionally big pipes aggrandize the low frequencies culminating in uncomfortable roaring or droning sound. The Borla exhaust system is less restrictive and preserves the velocity and high frequency so the dominant sound is behind the tailpipe where it belongs and in addition to that Borla's sui generis Intercooled Tips have an idiosyncratic look and are seen ubiquitously on show and street cars providing your vehicle with the same idiosyncratic look as these winners.
If the above acclaimed reasons are not sufficient then consider that the installation for the do-it-yourselfer should conceivably take about two hours for a system install and about six hours for header installation and this is just another accolade for these parts and a reason for you to purchase them.
Borla's compilation of emission legal exhausts is the largest in the industry and Borla's Million Mile warranty is the most compendious of any exhaust supplier. Borla will stand behind your performance exhaust product longer than you will be driving your car and that is a commitment you can depend on.

Don't turn up your nose at what looks like a "nothing" job – it's all in how you spin the experience.
Personally, we don't know too many college students who don't work at least part-time while they're in school. Some wouldn't be able to attend college at all without working. Others have the basics covered, but work so they can enjoy some extras. And a lucky few work not because they have to, but because they want to. No matter why they work, though, students who hold down jobs during college gain something that money can't buy: experience, and a chance to develop marketable real-world skills.
Starting a job search? Don't turn up your nose at a gig just because it looks like a "nothing" job that you wouldn't want on your resume. As with lots of things in life, it's all about how you spin the experience. And don't overlook non-traditional or think-outside-the-box opportunities, many of them on or close to campus. For example:
- Alumni Services Staffer – Working in your school's office of alumni affairs will expose you to everything from fundraising and event planning to outbound marketing. Another great reason to seek out this kind of job: The networking potential. On your resume: Marketing communications coordinator, event coordinator, development (fundraising) coordinator.
- Brand Ambassador – Marketing products to peers has taken off in recent years as more and more companies look at establishing a presence on college campuses. To find this kind of opportunity, check out BookRenter's program or RepNation.com is a good place to start. On your resume: Marketing consultant, customer service specialist, brand evangelist (yes, that's an actual job title in many companies).
- Tutor – This gig isn't for everyone. Patience and personality are prerequisites for the job. But private tutoring usually pays a decent hourly wage (especially for math and science tutors) and allows you some flexibility when it comes to scheduling. For tutoring opportunities, start by checking your campus placement service, local want ads, and Craigslist. On your resume: Tutor, teacher, subject matter expert (SME).
- Residence Hall Advisor – Another job that's not for everyone, but RAs usually receive a discount on their own dorm fees (or aren't required to pay at all). On your resume: Facilities manager, peer counselor, team-building specialist with excellent interpersonal skills.
- Writer: Almost any career path you take will involve communication, a lot of it written. So getting some writing experience under your belt could stand you in good stead someday. Instead of waiting for jobs to be posted, be proactive. Contact local publications and marketing/advertising agencies to see if they use freelance writers. If you don't have a portfolio of your work, offer to do an assignment "on spec." If the editor doesn't like what you do, they don't have to pay you, but you'll have a finished piece to show to the next publication or company you talk to. On your resume: Writer, fact-checker, researcher.
- Entrepreneur: We've heard some great stories from students who created their own job opportunities. (One of them is Keith Kaplan, winner of one of two BookRenter 2011 Social Media Internships, who started his own cookie business while an undergrad at Michigan's Albion College!) Other creative student businesses: a laundry service that delivers clean, folded clothes to students' dorm rooms; a girl who offers personal wardrobe consulting and closet organizing; a weekend artist who turned her hobby into a paycheck by holding painting classes on campus; two classmates with one car and lots of initiative who provide child care support to working couples by picking up their kids from school; a computer geek (self-described) who offers 24/7 consulting and computer repair to students in his dorm; a journalism major who started an editorial service specializing in fact-checking, editing, and proofreading senior papers. On your resume: Entrepreneur, small business owner, director of marketing.

Good product and good service from Dabs
Reviewed by Bernie. Review Posted 26/09/2013
I upgraded my previous card to an Asus GTX 660Ti and quickly encountered problems. With no ready replacement of the same type available from BT, I opted to go the extra step and move up to the next level with the Asus GTX 760. On installation, I held my breath in case I saw any repeat of the previous problems in my system. Suffice to say that there are none, and I am absolutely delighted with the performance of this card, having tried it for both rendering video productions and graphics intensive gaming. The whole system remains cool, quiet and stable. For me, the GTX 760 was a good buy, and I commend BT for the way they handled both the return of the lesser model, and the replacement order.

Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 11/01/2014
Very easy to install, fast card and can play all games on maximum settings and is good with media work as well such as video editing which I do a lot of from my HD camcorder. I upgraded from a 1GB GTX550Ti, purchased a cheaper 2GB GTX650 and was disappointed to find that the GTX650 not only scored the same 7.3 in WEI but showed no real difference in performance so as it was Christmas I sold it as new as it was only used for 3 hours so made 99% of my money back. I had my eye on this card since Christmas, was actually on another site so compared it to all the sites I use and BT was the cheapest even with next day delivery so decided to go ahead and order it. Happy to say so far I am very pleased with it, all of my WEI is now 7.9 and I can also use the GeForce Experience software with the Nvidia drivers downloaded direct from the Nvidia site which includes Shadowplay for live recording of games, can also stream live and use the games optimiser.

I've Written a Book - AngularJS Testing Cookbook
Written by Simon Bailey
A year ago I received a proposal from an Acquisition Editor for Packt Publishing to write a book on how to test AngularJS applications. The interest from Packt was based on the posts I had written on this blog. I was obviously appreciative of the proposal and initially excited at the prospect of writing my first book, however, I also was aware of the enormity of the task! A year later and the book has been published and damn it was hard graft :) A sample chapter can be downloaded by clicking the image below.Read on →
