What size gloves are right for you?
Let's take the mystery out of choosing the right glove size … in two easy steps!
Step 1: Wrap a soft tape measure around the widest part of your hand.
Step 2: Compare the measurement with the chart below. This is a general guideline used by most glove manufacturers.
Note: If your size is in between two measurements, choose the lower size. Work gloves should fit snug. Again, this is a general guideline.
Now that you have figured out your size, check out this selection of gloves for hard working women… all sized especially for women!

An outspoken County Antrim councilor courted more controversy last week by vowing to fight new proposals that give members of the Traveling Community the right to live in the countryside denied to their "settled" neighbors.
Ulster Unionist Adrian Watson, who is no stranger to making occasional caustic remarks about minority groups, has branded the changes to planning law "discrimination," adding that they would be a "slap in the face" to young families unable to get permission to set up home in a rural setting – even if they were born and raised there.

The relentless dumping of toxic waste in the south Armagh area is a continuing source of disappointment, Sinn Fein Councilor Terry Hearty has said.
Commenting after the latest incident in which two cubes of toxic sludge were dumped on the Loughhaveeley Road in Glassdrummond, he said: "This is a very remote, rural road. The cubes were dumped carelessly out of a van, spilling over the road and into a drain."
Pointing out that from July last year, at least 770 tons of waste have been removed at a cost of approximately $339,000 to the taxpayer, he added, "While 770 tons of sludge may have been cleared, we have no idea how much of this poison has seeped into the ground or made its way to waterways. These people seem intent on poisoning our beautiful countryside and doing as much environmental harm as they can."

The life of murdered Naas woman Deirdre Keenan was much more than the last few minutes before her death, mourners at her funeral mass heard. Death was confusing but a sudden and violent death was particularly confusing, Fr. Declan Thompson told the packed congregation on Saturday, March 2, at the Church of Our Lady and St. David, Naas.
Ms. Keenan (51) was shot dead at a B&B in Carlow Town on Monday, February 25, by John Deegan (53), who then killed himself with a legally-held shotgun. Their bodies were discovered by a member of the family which runs the B&B that afternoon.
Ms. Keenan and Mr. Deegan had been in a relationship after separating from their spouses.
The couple had been staying in Carlow a few days before the incident happened.

How would you feel about spending three nights in Mountjoy Prison, three in Wheatfield Prison, and another in Loughan House? Milltown musician Paul McCann and his fellow band-mates can't wait to briefly give up their liberty in order to recreate Johnny Cash's legendary prison concerts.
"It came to me one day," Paul tells the Celt, "what about doing a gig in a prison?"
Conscious that the Johnny Cash tracks went down a treat when his band played them at weddings, Paul added his wife and a few musician pals to the line-up to recreate an authentic Johnny Cash and Carter Family tribute act. Although they had a band, they had nowhere to play.
In 1968 "The Man in Black" played up to his roguish reputation with a concert in San Quentin State Prison and, over the years, continued to play other jails including Folsom Prison, which had already been the subject of one of his biggest hit singles.

Well-known Clare building firm M. Fitzgibbon (Builders), Ltd. have insisted they are "trading as usual" and not in receivership, despite moving off-site from a $5.5 million development in Tralee. Also work has stopped on a supermarket project in Miltown Malbay.
In a statement to the Clare Champion on Wednesday, the company insisted, "M. Fitzgibbon (Builders), Ltd. [is] trading as usual. Our company at this time is not, as is alleged and [rumored], in receivership."
The Ennis-based company was awarded the contract for the Integrated Services Centre in the Mitchels area of Tralee, part of the town's regeneration project.
Work began in October and was expected to take a year to complete. However, on Tuesday, work stopped at the site with a spokesperson for Kerry local authorities describing the disruption as "unfortunate."

Before Maui rides, I'll eat light, ride to a banana bread stand, and fuel up. Riding back from Hana, I went a little too far, and was bonking – I ate 1/2 a loaf in about two bites and that satisfied the hunger.
Getting that hungry reminded me of various bonks and eating whatever was in sight – that includes a burger once and I don't eat beef. What's your worst bonk? How do you satisfy the hunger after a long ride?
Just in time for the Maui rides, the Bike Hugger decals arrived for the Modal …
The decals include chainstay, seatstay, and a badge for the fork.
Specialized's "Innovate or Die" (previously blogged here) is finished, and the submissions are up on Youtube. Entries range from useful to mundane to culinary
A couple of my favs:
- The Aquaduct a tricycle for transporting water from a distant (3rd world?) water source and purifying it along the trip. It converts to a stationary mode to continue filtration. This solves a real problem in many parts of the world.
- the Pedal Powered Mobile Call shop. This great little idea is not only a pedal powered application,it's a full fledged business model.
- a Pedal-Powered Fridge . Another real-world application here, this could potentially keep vaccines cool off the grid.
I didn't get time to review all 101 entries, what's your fav?
<img src="http://www.gizmag.com/pictures/hero/8503_151207124106.jpg" alt="MIT Supercomputer" width="400/>GizMag.com reports that MIT have announced a bicycle powered supercomputer - sort of. Sure they used a machine that only draws 8 Watts, and maybe their cycling team only powered it for 20 minutes, but it's still sort of cool.

That showtime has passed. Please try next available showtime.
United Kingdom, 2013, 93 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: African-American, Documentary, War
Program: DocumentaryLanguage: English English Subtitles
DIRECTOR: Callum Macrae
Producer: Executive Producer: Dorothy Bryne; Producer: Zoe SaleEditor: Michael NollettScreenwriter: Callum MacraeCinematographer: Vaughan Matthews
From Nobel Prize-nominated filmmaker Callum Macrae comes No Fire Zone: The Killing Fields of Sri Lanka, a documentary depicting the final months of the 26-year Sri Lankan civil war. Spanning a period of several months in 2008 and 2009, the film tells the story of the so-called "no-fire zones," in which 70,000 unsuspecting Tamil civilians were mercilessly massacred, systematically shelled, or executed by the Sri Lankan government, which denies involvement in the crimes.
Among the most shocking story is that of the 12-year-old son of the leader of the Tamil Tigers rebel group: held captive, given a snack, and then executed at point-blank range. Despite the evidence, the government denies his execution, saying the boy was caught in crossfire. We see images of makeshift hospitals, dug-out bunkers, and evidence of the torture, sexual violence, and genocide incurred at the government's hands, as told by survivors in their own words using video made with mobile phones and small cameras.
With many of those in the Sri Lankan media killed, exiled, or disappeared, it's time the international community become informed. Macrae has partnered with the Pulitzer Center, Human Rights Watch, and Amnesty International, among others, to make the story known to the international community, endangering his own life in the process. Without truth there can be no justice in Sri Lanka. And without justice there can be no peace, says Macrae. We hope our film can be part of that truth-telling.

umm. free evaluation key expired today. website is down. can't register, any news?
Free evaluation keys are available here until the registration will be working. Sorry for the inconvenience.
First rate app, worth registering.
CB is a nice and well written app, you can't compare it with MBL though. MBL offers a superset of the features of CB. MBL runs on Panther, too (whereas CB AFAIK uses CoreData).
If you don't need the additional features of MBL, stick to it :)
I'll stick with CoconutBattery. It's free.
Sorry, something surely got screwed up at my hosting.
It should work fine now :)

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Monday, Jan. 7, 2013
AIKEN, S.C. -- Emily Hanna and her neighbors along Coker Spring Road in Aiken are on high alert.
"We've been here almost 13 years and have never had a problem or an issue, but I keep doors locked anyhow," she told News 12.
Sometime late last week someone went through the glove box of her son's truck. Nothing was taken except her sense of security.
Neighbors like Katherine Dunbar are less fortunate.
"We haven't slept the past couple of nights. We get up every time we hear a noise. Outside, the dogs even know to be on point. They've been barking at anything," she said.
According to an incident report, Gunter's GMC Yukon was broken into. Important paperwork from inside her car was scattered across the road. She was also missing hundreds of dollars worth of stuff.
"Twelve-gauge shotgun, a case of duck hunting shells, a 22-pistol which stays in the console, $200 of my Christmas money that was in the console and my duck hunting hat," Gunter said.
Just down the street, another neighbor's Mercedes station wagon was stolen that same night. A report says the vehicle was left unlocked and its keys were inside.
"I think they loaded all my stuff into her Mercedes," Gunter said.
The break-ins on Coker Spring Road are just a couple of more than a dozen in Aiken in just the past couple of days.
"We believe the ones happening in the neighborhood are the same person," says Lt. Karl Odenthal with the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
Now, Odenthal is preaching vigilance.
"Most of the cars we've been finding and responding to have been unlocked," he said.
Officers in Aiken will be patrolling more, even in areas where you wouldn't expect this rash of break-ins.
"No one is immune. It happens everywhere," he said.
Meanwhile, neighbors on Coker Spring Road are taking extra precautions, too.
"I think lights are a big deterrence but leaving things in plain view is just a huge temptation, I think, for people who want to rob," Hanna said.

With Nevada yet to decide on boundaries for the state's second bear hunt Saturday, California has already launched quotas and boundaries for their hunt.
This year's quota in California is 1,700 bears. The boundaries of the hunt range from the Oregon border all the way to Southern California.
The Nevada Department of Wildlife commission meets Saturday to decide where its hunt will take place.
"There's a number of suggestions out there as to what to do," said NDOW spokesman Chris Healy.
Basically, all of the options revolve around whether or not bear hunting should be allowed on the Nevada side of the Lake Tahoe Basin, Healy said. Quotas won't be decided until May, he added.
Last year in California, 1264 bears were killed by hunters. Hunters in Nevada killed 14 bears.

Ground beef should have a bright red color and be free of gray or brown patches. Check the label for fat content and be sure to buy it on or before the "sell by" date (the last day it should be offered for sale).
Refrigerate ground beef in its original packaging for up to two days or freeze for up to two weeks.
For the leanest possible ground beef, buy a lean cut of meat and ask your butcher to trim the fat and grind it for you.
Grill patties, turning once, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C), about 11 to 13 minutes.

John Herbert Alexander III
Plant Propagator
125 Arborway
Boston, MA 02130
Phone: 617.384.5637
Fax: 617.524.6413
I like to think of the Dana Greenhouses as the collection's meristem. It's the place where the plants begin growing. Simply put, my job is to encourage seeds to germinate and to grow roots onto sticks.
I have been the plant propagator at the Arnold Arboretum since 1976. I earned my undergraduate degree from Harvard University Extension School and I am a third generation nurseryman. At the age of 6, I began helping my grandparents make cuttings, and continued to help at their nursery during many summers and school vacations.
Lilacs are a passion of mine. I'm an active member of the International Lilac Society and have served numerous terms on their Board of Directors. Currently I am the Lilac Society's New England Regional Vice President. Syringa × chinensis 'Lilac Sunday' and Syringa 'Purple Haze' are two of my cultivar selections.
The Eastern Region of the International Plant Propagator's Society is an organization of plant propagators representing various horticultural and botanical gardens, nurseries, and academic institutions. They honored me in 1995 by making me a Fellow, and again in 2004 by awarding me their prestigious Award of Merit. Such recognition by my peers is truly an honor. If you have an interest in plant propagation, consider joining IPPS. Members are serious about the IPPS motto—to seek and to share the art and science of plant production—and are quite willing to aid and assist fellow members. Students and serious amateurs are welcome.
I love to get plants started, growing them from seeds, cuttings, and grafting. What treatment will encourage a given seed to germinate? Will another root from cuttings? What species can we use as rootstock for a particular graft? These are the questions we ask ourselves and each other every day at the Dana Greenhouse. We have a great team and this is an exciting place to work. Even so, it is work, and there is the less glamorous side of day to day plant care; we do that too.
When I'm not growing plants, I may be spending time with my Siberian huskies. We walk every day and may skijour when there's snow. One of my sons and daughter-in-law raise Siberian huskies, and sometimes they let me race their 3rd string team. What a joy to glide over the snow with few sounds other than the shhhhhhh… of the sled on the snow and my panting (the musher works too as part of the team).
During a rebellious period of my life, I considered a career in engineering. In addition to plants and dogs, I have a fondness for old machines, especially manually-operated farm equipment such as the corn sheller, the cheese press, and household equipment like early washing machines. You may also find me operating somewhat more modern machinery like my vintage Norton motorcycle or my classic Cessna Skyhawk.

A Brief History of the Quarter
The Mint Act of 1792, which created the United States Mint, specified that certain design features appear on legal tender coins, including the quarter-dollar. One side of the coin had to include the year in which it was minted, an image that symbolized liberty and the inscription LIBERTY. For more than 115 years, liberty was symbolized on the obverse (heads) of the coin by allegorical female figures (Lady Liberty) in the form of a bust or a full-length figure. The reverse (tails) of the quarter featured an eagle and the inscription UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
The representations of Lady Liberty and the eagle on the quarter during the late 18th and early 19th centuries were altered many times to remain consistent with the changing designs of other coins. Lady Liberty started out with flowing hair, and then became a draped bust, then a capped bust. The eagle also underwent several makeovers. It began as a small eagle that many thought looked too much like a pigeon. Over time, the eagle grew to become grander and more heraldic.
In 1932, the 200th anniversary of his birthday, a profile of President George Washington's head replaced Lady Liberty. To celebrate the Bicentennial in 1976, a colonial drummer replaced the eagle on the reverse.
In 1999 the quarter's reverse underwent its first of 50 changes under the 50 State Quarters® Program to honor each state. This popular program generated immense public interest in coin design and history. It was followed by the 2009 District of Columbia and U.S. Territories Quarters Program. In 2010, the United States Mint launched the United States Mint America the Beautiful® Quarters Program.
The quarter coin was made of silver from its inception in the 1790s until the Mint Act of 1965 mandated the use of copper-nickel.

In the 10th Congressional District, incumbent Republican Tom Marino turned back a challenge by Democrat Philip Scollo, according to unofficial returns.
Marino, of Williamsport, started his first term in 2011.
A former United States Attorney for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, Marino sits on the Homeland Security Committee and is vice chair of the Emergency Preparedness Subcommittee.
In the campaign, Marino vowed to repeal, defund and replace Obamacare. He also promised to support legislation that would allow for the development of domestic energy resources like oil and natural gas.
Scollo, of Dingman Township, is a self-employed insurance and business consultant.
He supported simplifying the tax code and regulatory burdens on businesses as ways to stimulate employment.
Throughout the campaign, Scollo attempted to get Marino to agree to a debate. Although a single debate was scheduled, it never happened.
A flash point during the campaign came when the Pocono Record revealed that Scollo owed $44,000 in back taxes dating back as far as 2006, according to public records.
The debts appeared in a Marino campaign mailer, which didn't mention Scollo's explanation: That he got behind on his taxes when his wife battled breast cancer and her insurance coverage was denied.
The district covers parts of Monroe, Pike, Wayne and 11 other counties.

Joe Owen tells it like it was in this evocative, page-turning story of a Marine rifle company in the uncertain early days of the Korean War. His powerful descriptions of close combat on the snow-covered mountains of Chosin Reservoir and of the survival spirit of his Marines provide a gritty real-life view of frontline warfare. As a lieutenant who was with them from first muster, Owen was in a unique position to see the hastily assembled mix of regulars and raw reservists harden into a superb company known as Baker-One-Seven. His fast-moving narrative describes enemy night assaults, foxhole fights, patrols through Chinese lines, and dramatic examples of Medal of Honor gallantry, and he supports his account with tales from other survivors.

STANFORD -- Stanford has a rare opportunity when it faces No. 15 Washington on Saturday: The chance to exact revenge.
Just don't call it that within earshot of anyone in cardinal and white.
"I don't like that word too much -- Coach (David) Shaw doesn't want us to think about that word," receiver Ty Montgomery said. "What happened last year happened last year. All we want is to be 1-0 this week."
Washington's 17-13 victory in Seattle early last season is Stanford's only conference loss in almost two years. It came during a particularly difficult stretch in the drive to the Rose Bowl -- just before the overtime escape against Arizona and the controversial loss at Notre Dame.
It would be another month, in fact, before Stanford changed quarterbacks and transformed its season. Kevin Hogan took over for Josh Nunes in early November, giving the Cardinal the athleticism in the pocket it desperately needed.
Stanford (4-0, 2-0) hasn't lost since.
"Schematically, we're not really different," Shaw said. "Our personnel is different. To have that mobile quarterback is big."
Hogan's presence, the emergence of big-play receivers and the maturation of the defense have combined to make No. 5 Stanford a more formidable team than it was at this point last year.
The Huskies are also better, partly because of a veteran offense that features four elite playmakers: quarterback Keith Price; tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins; tailback Bishop Sankey, who rushed for 144 yards against the Cardinal; and receiver Kasen Williams, who scored the winning touchdown on a 35-yard reception.
Also back for the Huskies (4-0, 1-0) this season: defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox, whose tactics confused the Cardinal.
"They did something against us that we hadn't seen," Shaw said. "They took the game away from us. They did a great job against the run, and we didn't make them pay for it with the pass."
"He's going to have a role, but we're going to continue to spoon feed him," Shaw said. "Is he going to be special? Absolutely. Is he ready yet? He's not ready yet."
Sanders is slowly getting comfortable with the most complicated aspect of his position: pass protection. To that end, the play that impressed Shaw the most Saturday wasn't Sanders' 22-yard touchdown run or nifty 16-yard catch-and-run. It was picking up a safety blitz.
"That was the biggest sign of maturity that you see in a running back," Shaw said.
"Even if we don't hit it," Shaw said, "we have to show the defense that they have to cover it."

NEW YORK (AP) — From New York to California, demonstrators outraged over the verdict in George Zimmerman's murder trial took to the streets and to church pulpits Sunday to speak out against his acquittal and to demand federal charges on civil rights violations.
Protests were planned later Sunday in Boston, Detroit, Baltimore, San Francisco and other cities over the Florida case, which unleashed a national debate over racial profiling, self-defense and equal justice. At least one protest in California hours after the verdict late Saturday ended with vandalism.
In Manhattan, congregants at Middle Collegiate Church were encouraged to wear hooded sweatshirts in the memory of Trayvon Martin, the unarmed black teenager who was wearing a hoodie the night he was shot to death in February 2012.
The Rev. Jacqueline Lewis, wearing a pink hoodie, urged peace and told her congregation that Martin Luther King Jr. "would have wanted us to conduct ourselves on the highest plane of dignity."
But, she added, "we're going to raise our voices against the root causes of this kind of tragedy."
At a youth service in Sanford, Fla., where the trial was held, teens wearing shirts displaying Martin's picture wiped away tears during a sermon at the St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church.
Hours after the verdict, demonstrators gathered on U Street in Washington, D.C., chanting, "No justice, no peace." One protester carried a sign that read, "Stop criminalizing black men."
In Florida, about 200 demonstrators marched through downtown Tallahassee carrying signs that said "Racism is Not Dead" and "Who's Next?"
In Chicago, black clergy members called for calm, with the Rev. Ira Acree of Greater St. John Bible Church saying the community should become "a united voice for peace" because it can't control the verdict but it "can control our streets and communities."
Civil rights leaders, including the Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, have urged peace. Jackson said the legal system "failed justice," but violence isn't the answer.
But not all the protesters heeded the leaders' call.
In Oakland, Calif., some angry demonstrators broke windows, burned U.S. flags and started street fires. Some marchers also vandalized a police squad car and used spray paint to scrawl anti-police graffiti on roads and on Alameda County's Davidson courthouse.

Parsing Bernanke's Legacy
Bill Hackney was horrified when Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke pumped hundreds of billions of dollars into the financial system after the 2008-2009 financial crisis.
"Three or four years ago I was thinking like a lot of people that Bernanke and the Fed had lost their mind" and would create massive inflation, says Mr. Hackney, senior partner at Atlanta Capital Management LLC, which oversees $18 billion.
But markets stabilized, inflation stayed low and Mr. Hackney changed his mind. "I've become convinced that Bernanke was right and I was wrong," says the 40-year market veteran.
Mr. Bernanke on Tuesday and Wednesday will preside over his last Fed policy meeting before leaving office Feb. 1. He still has plenty of critics who accuse him of misguidedly distorting the economy. Even admirers worry about the huge, uncertain task that remains: withdrawing the unprecedented Fed support on which markets now rely.
But many professional investors are acknowledging, sometimes grudgingly, that Mr. Bernanke has gone a long way toward achieving the main goal he set in 2008: He has stabilized markets and restored a large measure of investor and public confidence. Many thought it impossible that he would accomplish what he did.
"Back then during the real trauma in the fourth quarter of 2008 and first quarter of 2009, people were trading on fear. Now it is a much more normalized trading pattern. There is certainly still some fear out there and there are questions about valuation, but it is much more normalized," says Andy Brooks, another market veteran. He heads stock trading at Baltimore asset-management firm T. Rowe Price, which oversees about $650 billion.
In a 2008 speech to the Economic Club of New York, Mr. Bernanke described his goal this way: "As in all past crises, at the root of the problem is a loss of confidence by investors and the public in the strength of key financial institutions and markets. The crisis will end when comprehensive responses by political and financial leaders restore that trust, bringing investors back into the market…"
The strides since then are remarkable. The Dow Jones Industrial Average has more than doubled from its 2009 low. The Nasdaq Composite Index has tripled. With new worries spreading about China and other developing markets amid fears that U.S. stocks are overdue for a pullback, the Dow suffered its worst weekly decline last week since 2011.
And yet many investors hesitate to sell, for fear of missing future gains. That is a huge change from just a few years ago, when they were afraid to buy. Despite last week's angst, the Dow is just 4% below the record it set on Dec. 31.
Gordon Fowler, chief executive of Glenmede Trust Co., which manages $25 billion in Philadelphia, says he would be inclined to thank Mr. Bernanke if he met him, but he adds that the toughest job lies ahead.
"The efforts to stabilize the markets have worked very well, maybe too well," Mr. Fowler says.
"This is still incomplete. The hard part isn't necessarily just adding the stimulus. The hard part is withdrawing the stimulus without letting inflation get out of control and without undoing all the good work that stimulus has done to date," he says.
He says that during the most comparable period, when stimulus was withdrawn in the 1940s, the effort worked but at the cost of 4%-to-5% inflation.
Like any heavy-duty medicine, stimulus has unwanted side effects. It has made some investors overconfident because they expect the Fed to step in during any crisis and rescue markets. That feeling, known to analysts as moral hazard, has helped inflate stock values, particularly those of small companies with questionable underpinnings. It has enticed weak companies to issue stock earlier than they might have otherwise and reinflated demand for several kinds of high-risk bonds that were popular before the financial crisis.
Mr. Brooks of T. Rowe Price worries that there are 13 competing exchanges, all requiring supervision, and more than 50 "dark pools," or loosely regulated private markets. He fears that computerized trading could lead to another flash crash, the May 2010 scare when the Dow fell hundreds of points in a few minutes, only to quickly regain most of the losses.
"History will look favorably on Ben Bernanke's Fed tenure," says Marc Stern, chief executive of Bessemer Trust, which oversees $95 billion in New York. "He had to be creative and courageous, and he was both of those." The U.S. was lucky to have in that job a man who happens to be one of the world's leading academic experts on the Great Depression, Mr. Stern says.
But now Mr. Stern is worrying about the side effects. He hopes the Fed will move as rapidly as possible not only to withdraw its direct stimulus spending but also to begin raising its benchmark short-term interest rates back to a more normal elevation from the current level of almost zero.
"The extreme liquidity creates market distortions and the longer you have it in place the more the distortions become a problem," Mr. Stern says. Retirees suffer because they get tiny returns from the bonds they traditionally use for income. Inflation becomes a bigger risk and investors, business leaders and government officials make distorted decisions on spending money.
"'Should we issue more debt, pay down debt, buy back stock, acquire a company, build a house, go out to dinner tonight?' If the price of money isn't reflecting underlying fundamentals then bad decisions could well be made," Mr. Stern says.
These will be the challenges facing Mr. Bernanke's successor, Janet Yellen. It will be difficult.
"Getting this just right is like trying to land a jumbo jet on an aircraft carrier," says Mr. Fowler of Glenmede.

Battersea Project Energizes Asian Home Buyers
As regulators in Asia try to rein in runaway home prices, a historical London landmark—set for a second life as a high-end residential and lifestyle destination—is firing up wealthy Asian home buyers seeking new destinations for their money.
Even before sales started last week, the company behind the Battersea Power Station's redevelopment had drawn thousands of queries from prospective Asian investors, all seeking prime real estate alongside the austere monolith that has for decades marked the south bank of the River Thames with its four towering chimneys.
Nearly 10,000 people so far have asked about buying one of the 800 homes available in the first phase of the Battersea project, and half of them come from Asia, according to Rob Tincknell, chief executive of Battersea Power Station Development Co.
"You've got austerity measures introduced in Hong Kong and Singapore to slow down the local property markets, but you're not going to slow down people's appetite for real-estate investments," Mr. Tincknell said in an interview. "Whenever there's a crisis or new legislation to curb investment, the first place people look to go to is London."
Like their counterparts in China, regulators in Hong Kong and Singapore have recently introduced aggressive property-market curbs to cool prices that have continuously surged to fresh records in the last few years. These measures have dulled sentiment, particularly in the luxury segment, and pushed some of Asia's wealthy into picking up properties in other markets.
But the Battersea developers are hard pressed to meet the demand from Asia, as buyers in the U.K. have already reserved 600 apartments in the first week of sales.
"It's been like a Harrods sale," said Mr. Tincknell, who will be meeting prospective buyers in Singapore and Hong Kong after a Malaysia stop last week. "We had planned to go to China for this trip, but unfortunately we don't have enough units left to sell. We'll definitely be going to mainland China in the future."
According to the executive, part of the Battersea project's charm for Asian investors comes from the cultural legacy of its centerpiece.
Once featured on the cover of a Pink Floyd album, the Battersea Power Station was built in 1933 by Giles Gilbert Scott, who also designed London's red telephone boxes and the power station that now houses the Tate Modern museum. At the peak of its production in the 1950s, the coal-fired plant supplied a fifth of London's electricity.
But this London icon, the largest brick building in Europe, has also had a checkered recent past. A series of redevelopment plans had come to grief over the last three decades before its current owners—a Malaysian consortium comprising property developer SP Setia Bhd Sime Darby Bhd and the Employees Provident Fund—bought the 39-acre site for £400 million ($641 million) last year. It was the fourth sale of the land since the station was shut in 1983.
Under Mr. Tincknell and his Malaysian backers, the Battersea redevelopment will start in July and is expected to take a minimum of 10 years to complete, eventually creating 36,000 new jobs, 3,400 new homes, 1.6 million square feet of office space and two hotels.
The first phase—which will include homes, shops, offices, a theater and a six-acre park built to the tune of £400 million—is scheduled for completion in 2016 to 2017.

|Started from Marshall Pass TH, south slopes to west ridge, very windy and poor visibility, just me and Duchess (I prefer solitude in the mountains, and the extra challenge). We came down too far west on the way down (there was very poor visibility up on the ridge) and got to the intersection of Colorado=Continental Divide trail and Little Cochetopa trail. Took the Colorado, or Continental Divide (both share the same trail here) back to Marshall Pass.
Marshall Pass road was little slippery. I called the day before Forest Service in Gunnison to verify whether it is open.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Friday, Oct. 26, 2012
AIKEN, S.C. -- A Sam's Club, a gas station and two hotels are all developments shot down by the Aiken City Council.
Now, the City of Aiken is pushing back on Aiken County's new complex building, which is currently under construction and may soon be annexed into city limits.
"Our landscaping folks will go back, draw a plan, submit it to the city planning staff and let them review it to see if it complies with their recommendation," said Aiken County Administrator Clay Killian Monday night, after a contentious meeting between the county and city.
City Council told members of County Council that if the building wants to use city water, they'll have to comply with the City's stricter ordinances. That means they'll have to redraw their design.
Signs will have to be eight feet tall. Lights will have to meet city standards. The City of Aiken will also tell the county what kind of buffer to plant around the complex, including how many trees to plant and even what kind of trees, too.
"City Council has some pretty strict regulations that makes it hard for developers, property owners, taxpayers, business owners to comply with," said business owner John Wade.
On Monday, he had a somewhat heated exchange with Aiken Mayor Fred Cavanaugh. He told the mayor that the city's ordinances need to be relaxed if the city wants developers to even consider building in city limits.
He said the additional costs of complying often break the bank and make a project impossible.
"My property on the bypass, it would have cost me an upper of $100,000 to meet landscaping regulations," he said.
At the meeting, council member Lessie Price said she hears from many developers who'd rather build outside city limits for that very reason.
The mayor told her he hadn't, to which she replied she'd heard from several just in the past few weeks.
"People are afraid, Mr. Mayor," she said.
City Councilman Dick Dewar says it's a problem that's finally been vocalized.
"We need to have some honest dialogue with the people who are having problems or who have had problems with the City," Dewar said.
That dialogue could include people like Wade. News 12 asked him point blank if he'd open a business in city limits.
"No, and it has nothing to do with taxes. It has to do with the regulations," he said.
He says he doesn't have a problem with the City's Engineering and Utilities Department or the Planning Commission. He's just frustrated that even after a plan is decided, City Council could rip the rug out from under him and send the project back to the drawing board.
But Mayor Cavanaugh says Aiken's ordinances make Aiken what it is.

3.1-7 Proximate Cause - Foreseeable Risk
Revised to January 1, 2008
To prove that an injury is a
reasonably foreseeable consequence of negligent conduct, a plaintiff need
not prove that the defendant actually foresaw or should have foreseen the
extent of the harm suffered or the manner in which it occurred. Instead,
the plaintiff must prove that it is a harm of the same general nature as
that which a reasonably prudent person in the defendant's position should
have anticipated, in view of what the defendant knew or should have known at
the time of the negligent conduct.
Merhi v. Becker, 164 Conn. 516, 521
(1973) ("'If the . . . [defendant's] conduct is a substantial factor in
bringing about harm to another, the fact that the . . . [defendant] neither
foresaw nor should have foreseen the extent of the harm or the manner in
which it occurred does not prevent him from being liable.' Restatement
(Second), 2 Torts § 435 (1). Neither foreseeability of the extent nor the
manner of the injury constitute the criteria for deciding questions of
proximate cause. The test is whether the harm which occurred was of the
same general nature as the foreseeable risk created by the defendant's

Nine Bay Area police departments, along with nearly 200 law enforcement agencies in 10 countries worldwide, set their tweets in motion on a virtual ride-along Friday to depict in real time a day in the life of an officer on patrol.
"Staff beginning the day with lots of coffee ... Gonna need it to stay up for 24 hours!" the Fremont Police Department tweeted just after 9 a.m., along with the hashtag "#poltwt," which began trending worldwide just hours into the "tweet-a-thon."
Fremont is just one of several Bay Area law enforcement agencies participating in the tweet-a-thon, along with San Mateo, Palo Alto, East Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, San Rafael, Mountain View, Campbell and Los Gatos.
While the event officially kicked off at 8 a.m., tweets began rolling in from departments abroad as early as Thursday afternoon due to differences in time zone.
"Don't lippy and drive. Report of a car swerving over the road while driver applies make up," read a tweet from Manukao police in New Zealand. Fremont police gave their New Zealand colleagues a shout-out as they began their virtual ride-along about 2 p.m. Thursday.
Fremont police, who routinely post police blotters on their Twitter feed, by 10 a.m. had already tweeted a live narrative of their response to a burglary, a car accident and a drunk man in a park whom they took to jail to "sleep it off."
While Fremont, Campbell and Mountain View started rolling out feeds just after 8 a.m., other departments plan to begin later, with Sunnyvale slated to begin at noon and Palo Alto starting at 3 p.m. with police Chief Dennis Burns and a public information officer at the helm.
"It makes sense for us to participate in this worldwide Twitter event," Burns said in a statement. "Not only is Palo Alto the 'birthplace of Silicon Valley,' but our city is also recognized worldwide as a leader in cutting-edge technological development and civic engagement."
Lauri Stevens, the organizer of the event with Boston-based LAwS Communications, said law enforcement agencies are making a concerted effort to use Twitter and Facebook to connect with residents in the areas they serve. Organizers intend for the tweet-a-thon to draw attention to police presence in the social media sphere.
"We hope it sends a message to the public that their police officers are up to speed with social media, and that they can use these channels to talk with police officers and to be stewards of public safety," Stevens said in a statement. The global social media event "is about getting police to engage with communities and each other," she said.
For a list of law enforcement agencies that have signed up to participate in the global tweet-a-thon, visit https://twitter.com/ConnectedCOPS/police-tweet-a-thon-2013/members.

I am 5'3'' 135 lbs. I am training for my first marathon in Oct. I feel like I am eating right and am running 30-35 miles/week, as of right now. However, I can't seem to slim down at all. I think if I could lose a little bit of weight it would help me with my time and endurance. Any suggestions on a nurtion plan for runners that helps you lose weight? I am also doing boot camp this month hoping to speed up the process of weight reduciton.
That is a very tough question,
I am sure there are people that can provide great nutritional advice on these forums, but you will need to be more specific about what you eat, when, and when you run.
In terms of your weekly mileage, it seems low. Up until the race, always taking the last week off though, I ran 60-75 miles a week for a marathon. If you get your mileage up, you will for sure burn more calories.
The Boot camp will be good though, as it is cardio combined with muscle building through low weight, high repetition.
Good luck with your race!
Right now you are probably putting on more muscle, which weighs more. You could try to take in less calories, but don't reduce too much or your body will go after muscle instead of fat. If this is your first marathon you probably should just enjoy it and not worry about time, but I can understand wanting to slim down as well. Good luck!
That's a decent base of weekly running, so the fact that you're not losing weight must be a symptom of something else, such as diet. I've come to realize that exercise alone typically won't yield dramatic weight-loss goals, nor will dieting alone. The best (and most healthy) way to achieve that goal is diet and exercise.
Go back and analyze your caloric intake on a daily basis. Keep a journal/log for a week or two so you can have a decent picture of exactly what you're taking into your body every day. The general rule is that in order to lose one pound you must take in 3,500 calories less than you burn off. Many will tell you that 1.5-2 lbs. per week (5,250-7,000 calorie deficit) is a healthy weight loss. That doesn't sound like a lot, but it adds up over the course of weeks. I'm guessing you're in it for the longhaul rather than a short-term fix, so even over the span of eight weeks you could lose 10-15 lbs. in a healthy way. You don't sound like you're overweight at all from the description you gave, but I'm sure losing a bit of weight will help your joints/muscles.
Remember, too, that your body may just be at its best, most balanced and healthy weight now. There's a definite point that each of us has where our body simply finds its most comfortable, healthy weight, and significant drops in weight from that point may require more drastic (read "unhealthy") means to achieve your goals. That's usually not recommended.
Good luck with attaining your goals.
It's all simple math Calories in minus calories burned. There are some great programs out there for tracking both calories burned and calories consumed. I use one called fatsecret.com. When you set it up you enter weight, age, height… and then start logging all the foods you eat and work outs. It is easy to select the foods and if you have a smart phone with a camera you can even use it to scan bar codes. One of the things I really like about it is that it syncs my pc to phone automatically. By continuously knowing where you are in a day or a week it makes it real easy to decide if you want to eat something or not, I make much better food choices now knowing that I have to enter it in. I shoot for a 500-600 calorie a day deficit and it works so well that I can tell how much weight I lost at the end of the week before I get on the scale just by adding up the deficit (3500 calories= 1LB).
When you say you can't slim down, are you talking about the scale or your waist measurement?
As pointed out earlier, muscle weighs more than fat. If your weight isn't changing but your waist measurement is decreasing, then you're losing fat and there's no need to worry about the scale.
If neither are changing, then you may need some combination of more workout or less/different food. Not knowing anything about your eating habits I don't think anyone can say any more than that.
I've found that for a given workout/diet habit lifestyle, your body has a stable weight. Exactly what that weight is depends on the person; two people with identical diet and workout habits will have different stable weights. That's no big deal. All it means is that if you want your weight to change, you have to change your habit/lifestyle and your body will find a new stable weight for as long as you maintain the habit.
I've never actively set out to lose weight (although I have actively set out to get in better shape), but each time something in my lifestyle changed, my weight changed with it. When I went to university and my only exercise was two 20-min bike rides each day with no hills, my weight went up to a solid 20lbs over my ideal and stabilized there for a couple of years - as long as I was in school and had those school habits. When I reduced the meat and increased the veggies in my diet (which I did for $$ reasons) I lost 5lbs over the first few months. When I started running, I lost another 5lbs over the first few months.
Try checking out myfitnesspal.com You can input your weight, activity level and goal weight along with current weight. It will give you base calories to eat per day. You can then track everything you eat along with adding your excercise for a daily tally. It helps me be aware of where I am on a daily basis with my intake. BTW - it's free. Also, running 40 minutes at a pace of a 12mm burns around 350 calories. I can eat that back with one snack!
One thing to be aware of, if you cut your calories too drastically your body will go into starvation mode which slows your metabolism and works against you.

Thanks for making this awesome program! Really loving it!
I'm having a hard time getting my priority to work. Right now this is what I written in my Audio/subtitle language priority list:
From my understand this states that the prio is:
1. japanese audio with english sub
2. english audio with english sub
3. english audio without any sub.
When I play a mkv file with multiple audio tracks (one of them being japanese, both when I check on my computer and transcode on the ps3) it always plays english audio with english sub.
btw, this is all on a win7 with almost default settings (change Mux all audio tracks from unticked to ticked to test).
If you want any more info just ask me! Hope someone can help me!

|Irving's response to the ... >>
The reason for the alterations to crematorium 2: fumigation or alternatively air-raid shelter
7.95 One explanation put forward by Irving for the adaptation work to morgue 1 and crematorium 2 is that the chamber was being adapted to serve the purpose of fumigating clothes (and perhaps other objects). He relied on a document called an Aufstellung sent by Topf to the construction office at the camp in which reference is made Entwesungsofen (disinfestation ovens), which according to Irving proves that such was their true purpose. (Van Pelt countered that these ovens may well have been for disinfecting the clothing of the Sonderkommando or alternatively for a delousing chamber which is known to have been under construction in 1943 between crematoria 2 and 3. But he added that, if it was only clothing which was to be subjected to the gas treatment it was difficult to understand the need for a peephole to be fitted in the door).
7.96 Another thesis advanced by Irving is that the adaptation of crematorium 2 was undertaken in order to convert the building to an air raid shelter rather than to a gas chamber. He claimed that there was, at the time when the reconstruction work was undertaken, concern at Auschwitz about bombing raids. He claimed that this explains why the entrance to building was moved and why the staircase was altered to enable pedestrian access to Leichenkeller 1, which was to serve as the shelter.
7.97 Irving contended that it was standard practice at that time to fit gas tight doors on all air raid shelters in case of Allied poison gas attacks. Irving drew attention to the reference by an eye-witness named Hans Stark to the door of a chamber being luftschutzer which, as van Pelt accepted, signified proof against air raid. (Stark did, however, make that reference in the context of an account of 200 people being gassed). It was, according to Irving, also standard practice for the doors to have peep-holes (although he was uncertain why there should be a metal grill fitted protecting the inside of the peep-hole). Irving was scornful of the claim made by van Pelt that the doors to the chamber were redesigned to open outwards because of the difficulty of pushing the doors open if dead bodies were piled against the inside of the door. Irving claimed that it was standard practice at the time that air raid shelters should have doors which opened outwards. Van Pelt was, however, doubtful if the architectural drawing relied on by Irving to support his contention did indeed provide for doors which opened outwards.
