Toyota has been riding high on a green cloud of
eco-friendliness with the American public since 2000. It was that year that
Toyota introduced the first
generation Prius. The tiny Echo-based compact sedan brought
gasoline-electric hybrids to the mainstream.
Over the past few years, Toyota has expanded its hybrid
portfolio and has seen its "green" image explode. Following the
release of the first generation Prius, Toyota introduced a larger, mid-sized
Prius hatchback in late 2003. Later, Toyota released a Highlander Hybrid SUV
and a Camry Hybrid.
While the Toyota brand has focused on using hybrids to
improve fuel economy, the Japanese auto giant's Lexus luxury division has been
using the Hybrid Synergy Drive
to boost performance. Increased fuel economy is still a benefit of Lexus
hybrids, but the RX 400h, GS 450h and LS 600h L market
the performance aspects of the additional electric motors.
Now, however, it appears that Toyota's honeymoon with
environmentalists may be coming to an end. In a move that has angered the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC),
Toyota decided to side with General Motors, Ford and Chrysler in opposing a
proposed Senate bill that would require a corporate average of 35 MPG by 2020.
"Why is Toyota, a company that can make a car that gets 55 miles per gallon today, fighting a 35 mpg
standard? If Toyota's "Moving Forward" motto is more than just empty
words, the company must support a sensible increase in fuel economy to
35 mpg by 2020," said the NRDC in a statement on its website.
Instead, Toyota is putting its support behind a bill
proposed by the House that would mandate targets of 32 MPG to 35 MPG by the
year 2022.
"They have a green halo, justifiably, and yet unbeknownst to
their customers they've joined forces with the Detroit Three to argue against
greener standards," said NRDC vehicles campaign director Deron Lovaas.
Toyota contends that the Senate bill is too harsh on auto
manufacturers and will be tough to implement. "For the first time, the industry
has actually come together for a fuel economy increase, and everyone is pulling
together in the same direction," said Toyota spokeswoman Martha Voss. "Toyota is
working very hard behind the scenes to achieve the best standards possible, not
only for the whole industry, but to meet the energy and environmental goals
that we all share."
Considering that Toyota's lineup of cars already average
more than 32 MPG by federal regulations, many may wonder why Toyota would be
opposed to a measly 3 MPG increase by 2020. Toyota's concern comes from the
fact that the Senate bill would require a 35 MPG average from Toyota's entire
vehicle lineup -- that includes gas-guzzling pickups and SUVs.
Toyota's apprehension becomes even clearer when the new Tundra
full-size pickup truck comes into the picture. Toyota's Tundra has always
played second fiddle to the biggest and baddest from Detroit, but Toyota's
third attempt at the full-size market is starting to gain some traction.
The new Tundra packs a 381 HP V8 engine on its options sheet
and records fuel economy numbers of 14 MPG/18 MPG city/highway in 4x4 guise. The
problem is compounded by the fact that the previous generation moved a meager
124,508 units – Toyota is on track to break the 200,000 units sold mark for
2007 with the redesigned Tundra.
Toyota also announced
cheaper trim levels for the 2008 Tundra which will further drive sales and
lower the company's fuel economy average. In addition, Toyota is looking to
drive its truck sales even further with a redesigned Land Cruiser, Lexus LX 570 and Sequoia
– all of which use the potent 5.7 liter
V8 engine paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.
"They market every night the Prius and the Toyota Camry —
we're the green car, huh," remarked Representative Edward Markey
(Democrat-Massachusetts) who also happens to own a Camry Hybrid. "Then watch the football games, and they're
marketing the Toyota Tundra — like the biggest vehicle ever made."
"We're actually going to name the vehicle the Tundra, after
the thing that's being destroyed in Alaska. How ironic," Markey continued.
There is still room for improvement on Toyota's end,
however. The company is hard at work
on a diesel engine for the supersized Tundra and the company plans to implement hybrid
technology into all of its vehicles by 2020.
quote: Well, how about you increase the taxes on fuel until it reaches the price level we have in Europe?
quote: Bad thing is, there is a moronic "subculture" evolving that takes pride in driving cars that are guzzling as much fuel as possible. That way they can show off how wealthy they are. They've "made it to the top". Nice.
quote: The automakers are developing cars that get better gas mileage every year.
quote: No you can make gas more expensive genius.
quote: An architect who spoke at a recent energy conference I attended said something kinda disappointing. He said that the cost to build a new home meeting a very high standard of conservation (R2000) would cost no more than $8000 over a regular house and recoup this cost in energy savings over 8-10 years.
quote: He said that the cost to build a new home meeting a very high standard of conservation (R2000) would cost no more than $8000 over a regular house and recoup this cost in energy savings over 8-10 years. He said that very few people chose this option because people are only concerned with purchase price, not longterm costs.
quote: The housing boom is still going on here
quote: Best of luck on your planned home renovations! I hope Indiana offers rebates for your investment.
quote: > "it does not negate the fact that Americans and Canadians have the highest per capita use"Untrue. Check the list posted elsewhere in this thread.
quote: What else is irking me is the mix up of arguments and personal preferences. My favorite example: fuel efficiency. It is measured in MPG. If it is higher, the car is more fuel efficient. And that was that. All those factors like HP or weight, or towing capability, top speed, looks, convenience, safety, cleanliness, maintenance etc. do not belong here.
quote: Economy is about making money, creating and fulfilling a demand with as high a profit as possible. It's not about people. Governmental intervention is happening all the time whether we notice it or not.
quote: It is killing me that there are so many people out there that plainly deny the need to even waste a thought about that.
quote: It's not about people.
quote: The only reason we are being held back from "Cleaner" energy or more efficient devices is Greed. It is the number 1 cause for the raise in energy costs.
quote: What good is a flourishing economy and high living standard if it is maintained at all costs no matter what, even if the world goes to hell in the meantime? Do you really think constant growth will go on eternally? How will that be in 100 years? 60 ft long cars, weighing 30k lbs, 3000 HP? Houses that are 4 times as big as they are now? Everybody having a 100 ft yacht? Oh, and not only in the rich countries but worldwide? I don't think so.
quote: Just to play the Devil's advocate, the right wing politicians aren't any different, nor are the centrists, nor are the independents.
quote: If you think like that, nothing will change. No clean car, no clean energy. There has to be a public demand AND a powerful law to get that.
quote: Do you really think constant growth will go on eternally?
quote: 1987: 22.0 MPG, 2007: 20.2
quote: And even if you take the latter out of the equation, the improvement in fuel efficiency is meagre, isn't it?
quote: To make things worse, people drive more miles in their cars (I think) than 20 years ago.
quote: In short, it's pointless to have a few really efficient cars on the market if the majority is driving inefficient cars.
quote: But the roads *haven't* gotten more dangerous. They've gotten much safer. As another poster pointed out, total fatalities, accidents/mile driven, etc...all have declined considerably.
quote: It is a fact that driving an SUV is safer for the occupant but more harmful for the other driver in an accident or pedestrians.
quote: I suppose if someone can't pay for a safer sedan they should just accept that the roads have gotten more dangerous because of the increasing mass of other vehicles.
quote: Should we all drive around in increasingly large tanks?
quote: Both are safe and comfortable for a family of four.
quote: So what right do you have to attack and stereotype someone based on what they drive
quote: "You know why it isn't safe?Because of rednecks like yourself who have to take out a 6000lb monstrosity just to go to the mall. They drive like they own the road and act like they are invincible"
quote: Are you factoring in the fact that in 2006 over half of all vehicles sold in the US were trucks and SUVs compared to only about 30% in 1987?
quote: And no, these are not the new "adjusted" EPA numbers for 2007. IMO that's a load of crap, factoring in things like using the a/c, traffic, and temperature variations, as if those problems were non-existent 20 years ago. My dad still gets 28 mpg on the highway on road trips in his 2006 Corvette, and my sister still gets 21mpg on the highway in her 2005 Tahoe (both were downgraded to 24 mpg, and 17 mpg respectively with the new 2007 EPA calculation).
quote: But back to the topic. Not everyone wants to drive a sardine can. Some people have large families that just all won't fit into a cute little Prius. Other people rely on trucks and SUVs for the very food on their table and roof over their head: plumbers, electricians, and other general contractors.
quote: Also you cannot get three kid seats in one vehicle back seat in a safe manner. That means you must buy an SUV or minivan if you live in one of the states that requires all kids in a carseat until say 8 years old (INDIANA). So if you raise the price of gas, you punish the very people you are trying to "save", by lowering the quality of life of the children whose parents must pay for that gas.
quote: We should all take a little more personal accountability/responsibility in these matters.
quote: Now, from Nfarce's comments, I assume his Nissan is not his daily vehicle. But he will be the exception and not the norm.
quote: One way of looking at it is simply to ask people to pay their fair share of whatever they're doing. NOT taxing people who engage in behaviour that costs everyone is simply externalizing the costs.
quote: Why not tax gas guzzlers?
quote: Out of curiosity, however, what do you think about the issue of larger vehicles increasing the risk of harm to others in an accident?
quote: Good Question. At the time when US rates of SUV/Minivan/Large Truck usage increased, deaths and injuries in passenger cars actually decreased significantly.
quote: You seem to be crediting the fact that more people are driving SUV/Minivans/Large Trucks with the decrease of injuries in passenger cars?? That is highly unfair. What about safety features which have been becomingly more standard?
quote: Perhaps then it is simply an issue of adjusting this tax to achieve what society as a whole believes is in its best interests.
quote: One issue with the gas tax that some raise is that it isn't progressive
quote: Out of curiosity, however, what do you think about the issue of larger vehicles increasing the risk of harm to others in an accident?
quote: One thing that has struck me recently is that as a generalization I (and many Canadians) seem more weary of corporations' influences (e.g., car manufacturers) where many Americans seem weary of government influence. Fair enough.
quote: The largest source of automobile accidents isn't SUVs, its small two-door "sporty" coupes. By a rather large margin, in fact.
quote: There is no reason why we should use TWICE the energy per capita as other industrialized nations. It comes back to bite you in the ass when you have to send your children to war to secure that oil.
quote: I still don't get it anyway: in the US there are over 90 million commercial diesel vehicles. AFAIK you have special regulations that exempt light trucks from the passenger car (safety, emission and other) requirements. Is there a real reason why diesel engines are not in wide use?
quote: Yes, people in Germany need a "stern talking to" as well. I do often enough, when I have to decide whether I use the car to get some bread or go by bicycle. It's only half a mile... Probably many people in many western and advanced countries do. Why should people in the States be the one and only exception?
quote: In my opinion, anyone in the US who believes we need to discard the morals and beliefs of our founding fathers, needs to take a step back and think long & hard about what our "declaration of independance" really stands for.
quote: fascist attacks were usually a little bit different. .
quote: I am angry at myself that I wasted my time answering your comments, knowing it was futile all along.
quote: Without public transport the situation in Europe would be worse, but please, don't believe that we don't use our cars whenever we can...city or village, open country, it doesn't matter. Over here there are many areas where you basically need a car to get somewhere as well. And we are not a single bit better than Americans or Canadians, or..., and Germans love their cars more than their family (almost), the main difference is that (only because of the fuel price!) we have started thinking about efficient cars a few years earlier.
quote: But...?
quote: wouldn't it be better to charge a fuel surtax to the consumer? the higher the consumptoin, the higher the extra tax.
quote: if the government simply mandates that manufacturers have to get a 35mpg average, then manufacturers will find ways to cheat and manipulate the EPA results. they will do simply what is "enough", but they won't actually get off their asses and make real improvements.
quote: The real way to alleviate gas and oil problems
quote: And even if gas was $100 a gallon, Americans would find the money.
quote: This won't be adopted on any scale here, and you know why?
quote: a good government can.

Eligibility Rules: http://www.curling.ca/2015travelers/about/eligibility-requirements/
The PCA has 16-teams competing and based on our database files, making this one of the most participated Club Championships in its short history (from the PCA).
Two teams have qualified for the provincial championships, one in the men's and one in the women's divison. Treena Pasichnuk of Manning was victorious and Scott Webb of Peace River also captured the A-event championships.
And Doug Deboone of Peace River, is the PCA Club Champion in the Mixed Divison.
There is still two spots to be decided (one in both the men's and women's) - on championship Easter Sunday.
When it comes to curling – Colin Griffith, has vision.
Griffith has served as President of both the Peace Curling Association and the Alberta Curling Federation.
Colin initiated in providing the foundation for the Pomeroy Inn & Suites Peace Curling Tour – a curling tour that reaches to all levels of competitive play in the PCA.
The Tour begins its 8th season (starting in October of 2016).
The list of players below, have all played in the tour that Colin nurtured. Although some of their curling resumes have more depth than stated – these are some of their accomplishments post, since participating in our Peace Tour. It truly is impressive.
Geoff Walker – lost a Brier final for Newfoundland, as lead for team Gushue in 2016. Geoff was a Pomeroy Inn & Suites two time tour champion with Kurt Balderston. Tom Sallows– 5th man at the last two Briers for Pat Simmons Team Canada rink. Kristie Moore – Represented Alberta as skip, at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, Olympic Silver Medallist – 5th for team Cheryl Bernard at 2010 Olympics. Renee Sonnenberg – Olympic Trials competitor (as skip), coach at the Olympics and High Performance coach for Curl Canada. Adam Enright – 5th man, for K-Marts gold medal curling team at the Vancouver Olympics. Daylan Vavrek – U18 International Champion of the World. Graham Powell – Represented Alberta at the Canadian Mixed. Kurt Balderston – Represented Alberta at Canadian Mixed, losing the final. Also the most winning team in Peace Curling Tour history. Janais DeJong – lost an Alberta Junior Provincial final. Colin Griffith – Masters Champion of Alberta and Senior finalist (second in Alberta). Kayla Skrlik – lost an Alberta Junior Provincal final and won the most recent U-18 Alberta Provincials. Karli Makichuk – Alberta Mixed Double Champion. Sterling Middleton – won the 2016 Youth Olympics Gold Medal – at Lillehammer Norway in the Mixed division. Mark Johnson – Canadian and World Seniors Champion. Evan Asmussen – World Junior Champion, playing third for Brendan Bottcher. Tristan Steinke – Represented Alberta (3rd) at the Junior Canadians this season.
There is no actual measure or exact correlation for the successes above – in relation to the tour. But without question, there is something there.
For a remote area, that is hindered by travel – it's incredible the mark we have had provincially, nationally and around the world.
Thanks Colin – for your hard work at getting things done, your passion, leadership and most of all – your love for the game.

Geoff Walker competed for a Canadian Championship on TSN - Geoff was a long time second for PCA giant Kurt Balderston, before he graduated from Northern Alberta to play with one of the best skips on the planet Brad Gushue of Newfoundland (2006 Olympic Gold Medallist).
"Dead Weight" Walker shot 100% in the final - although his team lost, a great performance - 2nd in the country!

States raise concerns about protection plan for northern long-eared bat
Wisconsin among states fearing effects on timber industry, landowners
Wisconsin and three other Great Lakes states have asked federal authorities to delay plans to protect an imperiled bat species because the proposed restrictions could have a "crippling effect" on the forest industry and harm owners of private and public land.
Environmental agencies in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan and Indiana told the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in an April 17 letter that the states favor protections for the northern long-eared bat, but argue the draft rules go too far.
Wisconsin listed four cave-dwelling bats in 2011, including the northern long-eared, as threatened species because of the imminent arrival of fungal disease that has killed millions of bats in the eastern United States and Canada.
The Department of Natural Resources confirmed April 10 that white-nose syndrome had been detected for the first time in little brown and northern long-eared bats in Grant County, in southwestern Wisconsin.
Despite concerns about the spread of the disease, directors of natural resources agencies in the four states wrote that a plan by the Fish and Wildlife Service to minimize the public's contact with bat habitat is "overly restrictive and too broad."
The letter is the latest example of conflicts arising from the federal Endangered Species Act. The 40-year-law was instrumental in reviving the fortunes of the American bald eagle and other species. But it has also engendered conflict when protective measures rub up against other uses for the land.
In this case, the Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing an array of measures to avoid killing or injuring the bat until making a final decision on whether to list the northern long-eared bat as an endangered species. That decision should come in October.
Summer targeted
Meanwhile, one key restriction calls for avoiding cutting of bat habitat during the summer maternity season, from April 1 to Sept. 30.
"That's pretty much the whole state," said Erin Crain, director of the Department of Natural Resources' Bureau of Natural Heritage Conservation. "That's pretty much the summer logging season."
Georgia Parham, a spokeswoman for the Fish and Wildlife Service, agreed that the restrictions are broad, but said they could be tailored as the agency digests the comments of states, environmental groups and industry.
The light-brown bat, with large, pronounced ears, has been decimated in portions of the eastern U.S. Officials estimate that more than 5.7 million bats of different species have been killed since white-nose syndrome was discovered in New York in 2006.
"It's a poster child for threatened species if there ever was one," said Mollie Matteson, bat specialist with the Center for Biological Diversity, which petitioned the Fish and Wildlife Service to designate the bat as a protected species. Without protections, northern long-eared bats will be wiped from the landscape as they were elsewhere in the country, she said.
In the summer, the bat roosts during the day in buildings, caves and beneath tree bark. It hibernates in winters in caves and old mines. As prolific insect eaters, bats play an important role in Wisconsin ecology.
A 2011 study published in Science magazine examined the economic impact of bat populations and concluded that in Wisconsin alone bats provided an annual economic benefit of $658 million to $1.5 billion.
DNR wildlife staff started looking at the pending regulations earlier this year and later began to hear from the forest industry, Crain said. The comment period ended on Jan. 2, however, and documents show many objections in other states from the timber, mining and wind-power industries.
"With these restrictions, and others, it keeps narrowing the door," said Henry Schienebeck, executive director of the Great Lakes Timber Professionals Association, based in Rhinelander. "We need to keep supplying our (paper) mills, and lot of mills depend on fresh-cut timber."
An industry expert on the topic, T. Bently Wigley, will discuss northern long-eared bats at a regional meeting in Wausau next month of the National Council of Air and Stream Improvement. Wigley has argued that studies have shown that the bat has been well-documented in areas that have been subject to intensive logging.
The federal rules, if approved, would trump the more flexible state protections. Crain said her counterparts in Minnesota, Michigan and Indiana want more time to tailor restrictions that are less burdensome on industry. Natural resources agencies in Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana are under Republican administrations, and Minnesota's is under a Democratic governor.
Not invited
The states also complained to the Fish and Wildlife Service that they were not asked to participate in the planning process. Parham said that while the agency did not seek input on the draft rules, the Fish and Wildlife Service has received scores of comments on the listing and how the bat should be managed.
Rather than avoiding entire forests, the solution might lie in maintaining large den trees and snags that "are good homes for a lot of critters," Crain said.
The DNR and volunteers are also conducting acoustic testing to better understand where the northern long-eared bats are located, a process that will take years.
"Studies are great, but they don't protect the species," said Matteson of the Center for Biological Diversity. "What people kind of miss — you can say all of these things about management — but if there isn't an (endangered species) law, industry, or economics or immediate human interests are going to hold sway."

Drunken driver with open vodka bottle sentenced in death
SANTA ANA – With his left hand cuffed to a chair and a hearing aid for court proceedings, a San Bernardino man listened Friday as a judge sentenced him to two years and two months in jail for vehicular manslaughter while driving drunk and killing a woman and injuring her son.
A jury in April convicted Edward Stanley Butler, 71, of driving under the influence causing injury and driving with a blood-alcohol level of 0.08 percent or higher and causing injury. Butler faced a maximum of four years and eight months in prison. Orange County Superior Court Judge David Hoffer picked a lower term and, under new state sentencing laws, split his sentence, requiring the defendant to serve time in jail followed by six months of supervised release.
Hoffer said he was dealing with a "unique case" in which he tried to balance a number of aggravating and mitigating factors, including a "dangerous move" made by Tamiko Kaminaga when she pulled out in front of other drivers and Butler to make a left turn in Orange. "But the defendant's drinking remains a cause and certainly a substantial factor" in Kaminaga's death, the judge said.
Butler inflicted tremendous physical and emotional injury to the family, Hoffer added.
"I am certain a sober driver would have slowed down with other cars stopped in front of him," he said.
County Deputy District Attorney Alison Gyves contended Butler was driving with a blood-alcohol level nearly three times the legal limit and had an open bottle of vodka in his car when he failed to slow or stop when Kaminaga, 60, legally drove out of a parking lot on Sept. 8, 2010.
"He killed the victim with a Vodka bottle and a gas pedal," the prosecutor said in arguing for a stiffer sentence.
Kaminaga was seriously injured and died a short time later at a hospital. Her son, Jorge Maresch, 17, suffered a broken nose and facial lacerations.
"For years to come I'll remember how doctors could not save her," said Kaminaga's daughter, Emi, in a letter read by the prosecutor to the judge.

System Of A Down and KoRn vs. other Rock Groups!
Jul 02, 2006 9:20PM PST
I have been getting a lot of slack on KoRn and System Of A Down being sell outs! No Way! They have their own songs and own music.... System of A Down is a freash beat that is far different then any rock groups we have today, KoRn might have remade a few songs that is not theirs, but they did a damn good job at it! System Of A Down might be way off the chart on wierdness, but that is what makes System Of A Down..... System Of A Down! They both have several popular singles, and are definetly the rock groups of this centry! I don't know very many rock groups that have their own songs... and most rock groups sound the same, They start to lose popularity with their records couse every time they come out with a new album, it sound the exact same as their privious album! I might have only bought half an album when buying the last couple of System of A Down, but you wont catch me skipping songs on any of their albums... it was worth the money, same goes for KoRn!

People have been dissing Korn and System? I haven't heard much of that..... Honestly, I love Korn, not only do they seem to be the only band that can remake a song so that it's GOOD, but their own songs kick ass... And you're right, System of a Down is very original. They are what got me to like metal in the first place. But I really didn't like their albums... They were originally supposed to be one, but they separated them... I think it would have been awesome if the 2 CDs were one... but separated, they just seemed kinda blah.... Don't get me wrong, there were some great tracks, but not all of them were as great as they should have been...

Season finale review: 'Enlightened' - 'Burn It Down': Hack attack
When "Enlightened" debuted back in October, I called it an awkward comedy that I had very little interest in watching any more. Since then, a number of critics I respect (including James Poniewozik, Tim Goodman and Dan Fienberg) have kept making passionate arguments for the show, and it made me curious to check back in to see if perhaps I had missed something the first time around. I caught up through last night's season finale, and I have a few thoughts coming up just as soon as I'm not a yoga instructor...
Having watched all 10 episodes, I will readily admit to being wrong in one major way about "Enlightened." It's not a comedy - not in the sense that it isn't funny (which it isn't), but in the sense that it's almost never even trying to be. The dark, dark final season of "United States of Tara" was more overtly comic than this. "Mad Men" is more overtly comic than this. "Rubicon" might have been.
And that's okay. We get into this weird classification thing in television where everything that's an hour is a drama and everything that's a half-hour is a comedy, even if the longer show may lean more towards the funny and the shorter one might have its mind on more serious matters. And when a show breaks that pattern, you can't always instantly wrap your mind around it. Mike White (who wrote every episode himself, with some story help from Laura Dern on the pilot) had loftier ideas on his mind about spirituality, corporate America, mental health, personal reinvention and more, and if he occasionally told a joke about Timm Sharp's character being gross and inappropriate, this was still a half-hour drama.
That said, it wasn't a half-hour drama I particularly enjoyed.
In one of his columns on the show, Poniewozik said he's heard from "plenty of folks who find it morose, dull and focused on the whining of an unlikeable character with no real problems," and that's roughly where I'd fall, I think. Calling Amy someone with no problems is reductive, as she has many problems - financial, social and emotional among them - but she tends to deal with them in such an oblivious, narcissistic fashion that I don't feel sympathy for her most of the time. The show itself is acutely aware of her failings, as the character played by White himself got to tell Amy off about her selfishness a few weeks ago. An unlikable character isn't a crippling thing in and of itself to a show - Walter White, Don Draper and Carrie Mathison all suffer from likability deficits to varying degrees - but for me to invest my time into watching such a character week after week, I need to find some kind of way in. With the three I mentioned, they're all very good at what they do (and Carrie is mentally ill, besides), which becomes compelling even if I wouldn't want to invite them over to play Wii bowling. Amy, on the other hand, is ineffectual at almost everything she does (or, at times, backs out of the things she might be good at because it's personally inconvenient) on top of being socially clumsy and self-absorbed. (That her self-absorption manifests itself as a desire to help others doesn't exactly mitigate it, because it's always about helping others on Amy's own terms.)
I think there's some fine craft that goes into the making of this show, where White has brought in directors like Jonathan Demme and Nicole Holofcener to collaborate. Last week's episode, "Consider Helen," shifted its viewpoint away from Amy and onto her mother, who to that point had been presented as fairly unsympathetic and one-note, and it was terrific. I could imagine quite liking a version of the series that begins to use Amy as a jumping-off point to examine the lives of everyone around her, with occasional glimpses of how they see Amy when she crosses their path. (The finale, for instance, once again painted Amy's former co-workers as pretty terrible people themselves, but what would an episode that gave its sympathies to Krista look like?) But I think that's the only way in which I would continue watching in the event HBO execs decide they want to be in business with White and Dern enough to renew the show despite tiny Monday ratings.
But that's me. I imagine anyone else who stuck it out through the finale did so because they genuinely enjoyed the show. So I'm curious what everybody else thought about the finale, and the season as a whole. What drew you to "Enlightened," and what kept you watching? If HBO does renew the show, will you come back for more?

New Website: www.recensio.net - review platform for European history
Website Date:
Date Submitted:
Announcement ID:
recensio.net will create a Europe-wide, multi-language platform for reviews of historical literature. recensio.net is a joint project of the Bavarian State Library (BSB) Munich, the German Historical Institute Paris (DHIP) and the Institute for European History (IEG) Mainz – funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).
recensio.net is committed to the principles of Open Access. All content will be permanently accessible free of charge. The reviews and publications on the platform focus on work published in Europe and featuring European topics. The platform's navigational languages are English, German and French, while the reviews may be written in any European language.
The platform is based on two main ideas:
recensio.net brings together »classical« reviews
Editorial offices of journals or institutes who have only published in print so far will be able to prominently publish their review sections online – be it exclusively online or in a »hybrid« form as either a pre- or post-print. In doing so, it is irrelevant whether the reviews are already accessible online. recensio.net makes no claim to the exclusivity of its contents but wants to offer editorial staff a maximum degree of visibility and users a central starting point in their search for reviews of scholarly literature by bringing together scattered and often scarcely visible reviews.
The co-operating editorial staffs will continue working independently. The review sections of the different journals will remain separate and enable targeted access. »Classical« reviews are usually published as pdf-files so that the usual visual appearance of every journal remains intact, too. Apart from that, every published review will be detectable separately: by means of the content browsing or the cross-platform search.
recensio.net en route to web 2.0
Authors are able to present the core statements of their publications (monographs or articles) on recensio.net. Gradually, moderated user comments will create »live reviews« based on these presentations. Academic online resources can also be presented and reviewed here to allow for the continuous development of the resources.
On the one hand, we want to allow for the changing review patterns in the academic sector. Reviewers often lack the time to write an entire review of a text in its entirety. With a comment they get the chance to give their opinion quickly and easily on an aspect of the text, which at the same time facilitates reviews across various disciplines: A sociologist can review a chapter of an historical publication in reference to his own field without any difficulties.
On the other hand, recensio.net wants to do justice to the central position of articles published in journals or edited volumes in academic writing by giving the possibility to present them, too. So far, articles have only attracted attention within reviews of edited volumes, in which the individual articles have often been neglected. Here, recensio.net wants to offer an up-to-date alternative.
recensio.net offers
* a highly increased prominence for reviews by providing a comprehensive platform search facility and connection to the OPAC;
* a faster publication process, bringing the review closer to the publication date of the reviewed text; thus
* a modern adaptation to changing reading behaviours differing greatly between reviews and articles.
The Bavarian State Library guarantees to support the reviews with metadata, connection to library catalogues (OPAC), and long-term archival storage.

Have the same problem with Vista and Windows Server 2008. I'm using Satellite P205-S6307, lately I upgraded to Windows 7 RC1, when I shutdowned in the normal way, next time I powered on my laptop and logged on to windows and it just freezed at welcome screen, or sometimes it passed the welcome screen but the desktop had nothing but black background with mouse and the line "Windows 7 Evaluation copy, Build 7100". If I hold the power button for 5s to shutdown the laptop and then power on, when the welcome screen appears I press shutdown and then power it on again, this time I can log onto windows.
I downloaded the hotfix for Vista but cuz it had the extension .msu, I couldn't force it run with compatibity mode. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks a lot in advance!

46 Million Swedish Household Records Now Available
We are happy to announce that we've added over 46 million Swedish records to MyHeritage SuperSearch. The high quality parish register records, spanning 1880 to 1920, are now available, indexed and searchable online for the first time. These records include information about births, deaths, marriages, addresses and changes in household composition. They provide a unique view into the lives of Swedish people living at that time, making this collection a fantastic family history resource for anyone with Swedish heritage.
Search Sweden Household Examination Books Now
Swedish Household Examination Books are the primary source for researching the lives of individuals and families throughout the Parishes of Sweden, from the late 1600s to modern times. The books were created and kept by the Swedish Lutheran Church, which was tasked with keeping the official records of the Swedish population until 1991.

Our Stories: From Sweden to Australia, Part 3
Anna's family journey to meet relatives in Australia continues. In this post, she discusses Oskar's life, and looks at his decision to suddenly move to Australia.
The other day, David and I spoke about Oskar and his initial trip to Australia, the decisions that caused him to leave Sweden and what he may have encountered on the journey. There were still unanswered pieces that we can only speculate about. We have no information on his voyage, who he met or about his first journey.
What we do know, however, is that a significant event influenced Oskar's decision to leave Sweden. An event that changed everything and added an entire branch to the family tree that would not otherwise have existed today.

Our Stories: From Sweden to Australia Part 2
We recently wrote about the start of Anna's journey to meet her relatives in Australia. A journey that really began 125 years ago, Anna crossed oceans to meet relatives related to their common ancestor, Oskar. Here is Part 2.
In late December 2012, several relatives in Gotland, Sweden received a call from a man speaking English. Many hung up the phone and thought it was a hoax. They didn't understand why an English-speaking man was calling them.
After many disconnected calls, the same person called my cellphone on December 30, 2012. David Michel said he was calling from Sydney, Australia.
He said he was Oskar's grandson. The mystery of our family story about what happened to Oskar in Australia was beginning to be solved. Continue reading "Our Stories: From Sweden to Australia Part 2" »
Our Stories: From Sweden to Australia
Imagine going on a journey back 125 years and across continents. That's what Anna, from Sweden, will be doing as she flies across the world to Australia to travel to her ancestors' towns and learn about them.
Anna will be documenting her genealogical trip to learn more about her roots on her blog. Here is her first post, originally published on our Swedish blog.
I'm nervous, excited, tingly and happy, and a bit fearful to be going on this journey. However, there is a huge difference in traveling now than in 1890 when Oskar decided to go on his journey. He left his job, family and friends for an adventure filled with uncertainty in search for something new. Today, that level of fear isn't as necessary with all our technologies that connect us to our family no matter where we live. It's easy to stay in touch with our loved ones, unlike 125 years ago.
Her post continues:
Oskar never had that convenience of 24-hour technology. When he stepped off the boat from Gotland, Sweden, he knew that it was unlikely he would see his family again. Continue reading "Our Stories: From Sweden to Australia" »
Our Stories: Age doesn't matter
When you think of a genealogist, what does that person look like?
An elderly person, perhaps? Someone who has lots of time on their hands and for whom family history research utilizes that time?
Think again – this is the story of young Swedish genealogist Erik Elkan, 19, who proves that genealogy is a pursuit for everyone - regardless of age.
Thousands of people in Sweden - and everywhere else around the world - have, at some point, sat down and looked at old family photos. Many have looked deep into their closets and cupboards for family belongings; some have been more successful than others.
The important thing for Erik - as one of that multitude - is the moment when something completely new about deceased relatives is discovered, he says, whether it is in a dusty photo album or a hand-drawn family tree that has lost almost all its color.

Our Stories: Old love never dies
Weddings are only one part of our family's love stories. There are the stories of how people met, and the stories behind these relationships connect us to our family and their lives (and loves).
Christina Mellgren from Sweden shared the heartwarming story of her aunt Sigrid and uncle Malcolm, who finally got together after meeting 30 years previously. It is a truly inspiring love story of how love endures.
Sigrid, who lived in Björkelund, was born in 1907, and lived with her parents Johan Frederick and Hulda Burman. When she was 17, a Swedish-American family moved nearby. Continue reading "Our Stories: Old love never dies" »

Alfred Nobel: The man, the prize
The Nobel Prize awards ceremony takes place today in Sweden. Who was Alfred Nobel, and why is there a prize named after him?
Before the award became famous, Alfred Nobel was best known as the inventor of dynamite.
In 1888, Alfred's brother Ludvig died while visiting France. A French newspaper mistakenly thought it was Alfred who had died and so published his obituary. Alfred was shocked to read the article especially the description of him as "the merchant of death." One particular line: "Dr. Alfred Nobel, who became rich by finding ways to kill more people faster than ever before, died yesterday," got him thinking.
Alfred realized that this wasn't how he wanted to be remembered and so, in 1895, he amended his will to designate a large portion of his estate to fund the Nobel prizes. Continue reading "Alfred Nobel: The man, the prize" »
