Muslims in Mannaar expose systemic inability of SL State in delivering justice to victims
18 wounded in bus explosion in Colombo[TamilNet, Saturday, 23 February 2008, 07:07 GMT]Eighteen civilians were injured in a bomb blast inside a bus in Colombo Mount Laviniya Saturday around 10:45 a.m. Most of the victims were bystanders. The passengers had a providential escape as a woman traveler alerted the conductor and the driver of the bus about an unattended parcel underneath a seat in the Colombo bound bus coming from Morattuwa. The explosion took place after the passengers have got off the bus and while the driver was taking it to a safe location, police said. The blast in Colombo has taken place a day after the Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) aerial bombardment on civilians in Vanni took the lives of 8 and injured 14, which included many children. The bus was fully destroyed in the blast
The casualty figures of the Colombo blast includes the driver, another 8 males, 8 females and a child. The injured were rushed to Kalubowila hospital in Colombo South. Chronology: |

Manhood Peninsula
Coordinates: 50°44′46″N 0°47′28″W / 50.746°N 0.791°W
The Manhood Peninsula is the southernmost part of Sussex in England. It has the English Channel to its south and Chichester to the north. The peninsula is bordered to its west by Chichester Harbour and to its east by Pagham Harbour, its southern headland being Selsey Bill.
Historically the Manhood Peninsula was known as the Hundred of Manhood. It was founded during the Anglo-Saxon period and had its own courts and local government until the system of hundreds was abolished by act of Parliament in the 19th century.
The name Manhood has had various spellings over the years including Manwed on the Armada map of 1587, Manhode on a map of 1663 and Manhope on Mordens map of 1695.[1] The name is probably derived from the Old English maene-wudu meaning "men's wood" or "common wood", in other words common land.[2] This woodland remained in common until 1793 when 693 acres (2.80 km2) were enclosed by Acts of Parliament.[2]
The Manhood Peninsula was formerly known as the Hundred of Manhood, in the Rape of Chichester.[3] The Rape was a county sub-division peculiar to Sussex.[4] In AD681 St Wilfrid arrived in the land of the South Saxons and spent five years there evangelising them.[5] The South Saxons had been conquered by Wessex and it was their king, Cædwalla, who confirmed a grant to Wilfrid of 87 hides of land in AD683, to build a monastery. This land was to become the Hundred of Manhood.[6]
After the Norman Conquest the area became a barony, by which tenure the Bishop of Chichester sat as a peer in parliament.[7]
The Hundred was an ancient unit of local administration.[8] At the time of the Domesday Survey, Sussex contained fifty nine hundreds.[9] The area of each hundred in Sussex would have been approximately 25 square miles (65 km2), quite small in comparison to other counties where the hundred could be as much as 200 square miles (520 km2) in area.[10] During Norman times the hundred would pay geld (a form of land tax) based on the number of hides.[11] To assess how much everyone had to pay, a clerk and a knight were sent by the king to each county, they sat with the sheriff of the county and a select group of local knights.[11] There would be two knights from each hundred. After it was determined what geld had to be paid, then the knights of the hundred and the bailiff of the hundred were responsible for getting the money to the sheriff, and the sheriff to the Exchequer.[11]
From the 10th century on the Manhood had its own court of justice and it also dealt with matters that a local authority of today would deal with, such as policing and highways.[8] At the time of the Domesday Survey the Hundred was known as the Hundred of Westeringes and Somerley with an Earl Roger Montgomery holding the Hundred of 'Westeringes' ( Wittering), containing Birdham (3½ hides), Itchenor (1 hide), Somerley in East Wittering (1 hide) and East Wittering (1 hide).[12] Roger Montgomery was one of the kingdoms most powerful lords, at the time, with extensive landholdings around the country including nearly all of what is now West Sussex.[13] The Bishop of Chichester (formerly of Selsey) held the Hundred of Somerley with 10 hides in Selsey, 12 in Sidlesham, and 14 in West Wittering.[12]
By the 12th century the two Hundreds became united in the one Hundred of Manhood and was a liberty of the Bishop of Chichester, consisting of the land originally given to St Wilfrid by Cædwalla.[6][12][14] The manor house for the Hundred of Manhood was situated just north of Sidlesham church.[15] In the year 1525, a claim was made for part of the Manhood by William, Earl of Arundel, based on his ownership of the manor of Almodington.[7] To settle the dispute a meeting was held at the Hundred court-house between Robert Sherborne, Bishop of Chichester and John Stilman, the Earl's counsel. The court found in the Bishops favour and Henry VIII's charter confirmed the boundary of the land, which coincided with those in St. Wilfrid's original charter.[7][16][17]
As lord of the hundred the Bishop of Chichester was expected to hold a court-leet annually, that all residents were bound to attend.[7] This continued till about 1835, and would have been held at the hundred-moot which is believed to have been at Hundredsteddle Farm, Somerley near Birdham.[12] According to The Placenames of Sussex, Somerley is the Old English for a clearing used in summer and an earlier version of steddle was probably staddle, the name Hundredsteddle would be a reference to the floor on which the Hundred court would have sat.[18][19]
In 1561 Elizabeth I passed an act that removed some of the Manhood parishes from the See of Chichester.[20][21] These parishes were eventually sold to lay proprietors and included Selsey, that a Sir William Morley purchased from the crown for £4100 in 1635.[20]
List of parishes in the Hundred of Manhood[edit]
In addition to the seven parishes listed above, the Hundred originally contained three others: East Itchenor, annexed to Birdham in 1441; Almodington, annexed to Earnley in 1526; and Bracklesham, largely washed away by the sea and finally united to East Wittering in 1518. For purposes of taxation the hundred was divided into four vill—Sidlesham, Selsey, Wittering, and Birdham.[12]
The Manhood today[edit]
The Hundred as a judicial and administrative unit was diminished by various acts of parliament in the 19th century.[22] The Manhood Peninsula still exists geographically and is administered by Chichester District Council with the villages and town on the peninsula also having their own local councils.[23]
Many organisations both commercial and non-commercial, that are based on the Manhood Peninsula have the name Manhood in their title.[24] Some organisations exist to deal with common issues and problems encountered by all on the Manhood, for example the '"Manhood Peninsula Partnership, a resident-inspired partnership of local communities, local and national government agencies, and other bodies involved in the Manhood."[25]

The CIF-state appeals board ruled against South Hills' Jordan and Jamie Canada, who have not played football for the Huskies, and who will likely sit out the remainder of the season unless a family attorney files an injunction through the state courts and is successful, which is considered a longshot. The brothers were hoping the state appeals board would overturn the CIF-Southern Section's decision to declare them ineligible after transferring from Duarte High School to South Hills. The Canada's mother, Gala Canada, moved with her sons to the South Hills high school district over the summer and filed a "change of address" request through the school in hopes of her sons becoming eligible.
However, that request was denied by CIF after Duarte officials filed paperwork with the CIF-SS offices claiming the Canada's left to South Hills for "athletically motivated," reasons.

Fresh Eggs Every Day
New to keeping chickens? Don't get your feathers in a twist. The Eglu Go UP Chicken Coop comes complete with everything you need to start your new hobby. Perfect for the first-time henkeeper, this brand new Eglu chicken coop not only looks fabulous, but it is easy to clean, straightforward to use, and suitable for up to four chickens. Hens will love the plastic roosting bars and integrated nesting box. Simply fill with bedding and look forward to collecting your first eggs by opening the door at the back.
Easy to Clean Chicken Coop
Cleaning your Eglu Go UP Chicken Coop is quick and easy, taking just a few minutes each week to keep it looking spic and span. The plastic roosting bars and nesting area sit on top of a slide-out tray, so all droppings will fall through the slats, onto the tray, which can be removed and emptied straight into the compost bin. (Chicken droppings make brilliant fertilizer for your plants).
For a more thorough clean, the smooth, plastic surfaces of the Eglu hen house can be washed quickly with a hose or pressure washer, and the roosting bars can also be removed and washed down. It's so easy, in fact, that you could get the kids to do it.
Optional Wheels
The Eglu Go UP chicken house is available with optional wheels. This is highly recommended for anyone wanting to move their Eglu regularly, particularly if you are living on your own. Simply press down both levers with your foot to lift the run, and use the wheels to move the Eglu chicken coop. The wheels can be used with your Eglu Go UP whether you have a chicken run or not. You just need to have the frame to attach them to.
Easy to Move Chicken Run
Choosing to add the optional wheels will make your Eglu Go UP chicken house really easy to move. Although you can choose to keep your Eglu chicken coop in one place, you may want to move it around the garden regularly, to allow your grass to recover, and give hens a new patch of lawn to nibble at. Using the easy foot operated wheel mechanism, one person will be able to simply push or pull the Eglu Go UP around on their own.
Great Height for you and your Hens
The Eglu Go UP chicken house has all the great benefits of the Eglu Go, on legs. Your hens will love to roost up off the ground, sleeping in a warm and cosy hideaway, and having a private area to escape to to lay their eggs. They will quickly learn how to use the ladder to climb up to their home, and the house will act as a sheltered spot for hens to play under too. It's not just the chickens that will love the Go UP though – you will too! You'll find that the convenient height of this hen house makes chicken keeping a delight! There's no need to bend down to clean the Eglu chicken coop or collect the eggs.
A Comfortable Temperature All Year Round for Hens
The Eglu chicken coop is specially designed to keep your chickens warm in winter. The Eglu has a unique twin-wall insulation system which works in a similar way to double glazing trapping a pocket of air which provides a very effective means of insulating the house.
In summer your chickens will be kept cool by the Eglu's draught-free ventilation system, carefully designed to avoid air blowing directly over the roosting area whilst allowing fresh air to circulate.
Easy to use Front Door
Letting your chickens out in the morning or securing the Eglu Go UP chicken house at night couldn't be simpler. Using the handle on the side of the Eglu chicken coop you open and close the door, locking and unlocking is done in one intuitive movement. No fiddly catches or bolts that don't line up. The Eglu Go UP also comes with its own ladder so your chickens won't have to ruffle their feathers whilst walking down to breakfast or climbing into bed.
Top and Bottom Run Doors Work Independently
Unlike the other Eglu Chicken Runs, the Eglu Go UP chicken house has a stable-style door at one end. The top and bottom open independently from one another, and both have run pins to secure them into a closed or open position. Open both doors to allow your chickens out, or to get full access to the run, or keep the bottom door closed so that you can refill the feeder and drinker or throw in some corn without your hens escaping.
Spacious, Fox-Resistant Chicken Run
The optional (yet recommended) standard 2m chicken run is made from strong steel weld mesh, virtually impossible for predators to break. This means that when you are out and about, you can be sure that your chickens are safe. A unique anti-tunnel skirt sits flat on the ground and prevents animals from digging in, and the dark green coating will blend into your garden beautifully. A 1m extension is also available to add to the chicken run to give your chickens more room.
Happy Chickens
Your hens will love living in the Eglu Go UP chicken house. They'll be able to pop up and down the ladder as they please, keeping nice and snug when it's time to sleep, and having privacy when they want to lay an egg. If you choose the Eglu Go UP with chicken run, your hens will be able to roam around during the day, safe from foxes, and you can let them have a wander around the whole garden when you're there to watch. With a house like this, all the other chickens in town will be filled with henvy!
How Much Space do I Need for my Eglu Go UP?
Ideally your garden should have a fence all the way round. This will prevent your chickens from wandering into the neighbour's garden and, more importantly, ensure that all the eggs are laid on your side of the fence! The fence should be about 1.5m (5ft) high.
If you do not have grass, it is possible to keep a couple of chickens but you must provide them with a layer of wood chippings to rummage about in as this will give them the right type of surface underfoot.
Free Extras
We want to make it as easy as possible for you to start keeping chickens, which is why you'll get lots of free extras with every Eglu Go UP chicken house. Whichever type of Eglu Go UP you buy, you'll get an innovative feeder and drinker. These fit neatly to the run, maximising floor area, the covered design protects food from rain, and both are dishwasher proof, for ultra easy cleaning. You'll receive 10 Omlet Egg Boxes, suitable for giving away four eggs at a time to family and friends, and easy to follow instructions to help you build your Eglu quickly. If you choose an Eglu Go UP with a chicken run, we'll throw in an all-weather shade, to attach to the run and protect hens from wind and rain. It's very hendy in the summer too, to keep your girls protected from the midday sun.
The biggest reward of an Eglu chicken coop, of course, is the free eggs you'll be treated to every morning. Nothing beats that! Not only that, we're so confident you'll love everything about the Eglu Go UP chicken house and your new chickens, we offer a 30-day, no-quibble money-back guarantee.
Eglu Go UP Specifications
The Eglu Go UP chicken house is suitable for up to 4 medium sized chickens or 2-3 larger breeds such as Buff Orpingtons or Cochins. When setting up your Eglu chicken coop, you should allow 60cm of space behind the house to enable the dropping tray to slide out easily.

Your Reviews - Eglu Go UP Chicken Coop
Well worth the effort - Maureen,
Arrived promptly albeit missing the ladder! which was very quickly sent when I phoned Omlet (Very helpful lady at customer services) Found some difficulty inserting clips around the skirt due to the proximity to the ground, but once overcome it was quickly finished and a very pleasing outcome both practically and visually. Two very happy hens have taken residence and LOVE their new home.
Really pleased - Ann,
I changed to a Go Up recently and have been really pleased with it. My two chickens have lots of room. It's easy to clean and keep clean. It's expensive but I'm hoping I'll have it for tens of years. There was no ladder in the box but that was sent the next day once I alerted them.
Very happy - Angela,
We bought our Go Up recently to replace our wooden A-frame coop. We are so happy with it. My father assembled it and the run, and it took him a few hours - glad it wasn't me! It looks fabulous, and our three chickens are happy in it. It is weatherproof, predator-proof, and so easy to clean. In our tropical Brisbane weather, we no longer have to worry about the wooden coop swelling and warping (we used to have to cover our wooden coop with plastic to cope with the torrential downpours), or about mites and lice hiding in cracks in wood. The coop is easy to move too.
Happy chickens - Julie,
I purchased the Eglu GoUp for my first ever chickens. I must admit I struggled at first putting it together but eventually got the hang of it. It fits perfectly into my garden. The chickens seem very happy and contented. Just waiting for my first eggs .
- Fiona,
Eglu Go Up bought to house 3 bantams and on the whole satisfactory apart from the inner grey section which quickly became very dirty and difficult to clean. I don't expect to have to clean out more than once a week! We replaced this part with a smaller wooden frame, higher off the floor and with four roosting bars with better separation, which we made ourselves.This makes life much easier and rather more hygienic.

SAN FRANCISCO, Tuesday—A letter from a French missionary in East Africa to the manager of Liberty Carillons, Inc., was recently sent to me in the hope, I think, that I would be touched and would want to accede to the writer's request. No one could help but feel the sincerity of Father Jean Delemer, but I found out that to grant his wish for a church bell would cost $800, even though no profit is made by Carillons. So I have decided to give an opportunity to my readers to join with me, if they are moved to do so, in contributing toward this sum, since I would not feel it right to other interests to which I am pledged to do this alone. Anything above the $800 which I receive will be turned over to the Father for help in education.
The letter comes from the White Fathers of Myaruonga, Bukoba Post Office, Tanganyika, East Africa.
"Dear Sir: I dare to write to you in my bad English (you will not mind, I am a French missionary) that to ask you for a big service. You may see now and then good people who come to buy bells at your store. Some bright day, could you not kindly ask one of them if he would not accept to do a wonderful action and buy two bells instead of one, and spare the second for an unknown, poor, faraway church in the African bush.
"I realize it is rather strange and bold to come to you in such an intrusive and direct manner, asking you for such an unusual commission. Even I am aware you may have little chance to find that splendid Catholic who could and would answer this call.... There are so many distresses all over the world now, also everybody is forgetting us, and for years we find ourselves so sadly unable not only to develop but even to maintain our missionary works. That to call our black folk we have only an odd native drum with an old plate of iron from a petrol tank, not very harmonious you can imagine, but chiefly quite insufficient to be heard by our Christians or catechumens living far away from the mission.
"How miraculous for us and for them if we could ring the 'Angelus' with a real bell! They have never heard and cannot imagine the sweet voice of an 'Ulaya' (European true bell).
"You will pardon me, dear sir, thinking I am not troubling you for myself but for my black children, as ourselves the children of 'Our Father Who art in Heaven.' I am sure your good heart will understand and try to help. Beforehand I dare to tell you my gratitude."
* * *
That letter was two months on the way, and when it came to me, I had to find out how much the cost would be, so another month has elapsed. The casting of the bell will take time. It will be a long time before Father Delemer's bell actually reaches him. I am not a Catholic, but I love the bells from both the Catholic and Protestant churches, and I know that they can give inspiration when the spirit is weary and when human frailty makes one lag in well-doing. Those who try to help the people of Africa deserve our help, for theirs is an unselfish life. I hope you will be moved to give a little of the bell!

Night Driving
It took a long time to get to glow-in-the-dark bendable track with transparent vehicles.
All of human history has been building to the point in which we currently live. This time, in which children can find five colors of track, light-up transparent emergency vehicles with teeny black lights that make the glow-in-the-dark track glow as they speed past, is the most wonderful of all times. But it wasn't always that way...
1692: Children gather around the courtyard stocks to send tiny pinecone witches racing across woven straw track, in ridicule of the condemned of Salem.
1888: The youth of Whitechapel send tin carriages over the cobblestones in a game they call "Flee The Ripper!" Newspapers condemn it as "unwholesome and not at all cricket!"
1904: Thomas Edison steals a small pewter racing car from Nikola Tesla's toybox, then rushest to the patent office to take credit for the invention of the automobile, the tire, the car radio, the trunk, the engine, the concept of racing, and pewter.
1929: Henry Ford famously tells people they can race any cars they like, as long as the track is black.
TODAY: Many colors, lights, and 252 track pieces! Truly, the future is now.

Derek - The Man in My Loft
Derek - The Man in My Loft
Illustration brief from the course:
What scares you? Spiders? Rats? Enclosed Spaces? Heights? Things that go bump in the night?
Make a series of illustrations not more than A5 each (and much smaller if you wish) to convey a growing sense of unease and increasing terror. Remember phobia is not rational.
Format. A bound book of ten or more illustrations. B/W.
The Story:
I live at the very top of a tall block of flats. All that is above me is a cold old dusty loft.
When I'm lying in bed at night I can see a tiny hole in the ceiling above my bed and I'm sure there is an eye looking through the hole down at me.
I can also hear banging above me at night, like someone is dancing up there in the loft. I've stored some of my junk up there, all packed away in boxes and stored alphabetically, but when I go up there again I find the boxes have been opened and rearranged. So I've come to a conclusion…
I have a man in my loft. I like to call him Derek.
Derek is a big man and he crouches painfully in the tiny corners of the loft
I lie in my bed and think of Derek
Sleeping on the insulation foam
Drinking from the hot water tank
Eating the dust and bugs to survive
But, I think to myself, what if Derek were to come down from the loft to live with me in my flat?
What then?
Well, I'll sit him on the sofa in front of the TV and I'll feed him up on hotdogs and burgers and mash and beans and cherries and cupcakes and stawberries and gateaux.
I'll feed him till he is big and fat, till he's enormous!
Then I'll squeeze him into the tiny gap underneath my bed
So I can hear him squeal whenever I go to bed at night.

Your result for Which Supreme Court Justice Are You Test ...
You agreed with Kennedy 0% of the time.
Anthony McLeod Kennedy (born July 23, 1936) has been an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court since 1988. Appointed by Republican President Ronald Reagan, he acts as the Court's swing vote on social issues and has consequently wields considerable power on today's Supreme Court.
Appointed by a Republican president, Kennedy's tenure on the Court has seen him take a somewhat mixed ideological path; he usually takes a conservative viewpoint, but sometimes has looked at cases individually. Kennedy supports a broad reading of the "liberty" protected by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, which means he supports a constitutional right to abortion in principle, though he has voted to uphold several restrictions on that right, including laws to prohibit partial-birth abortions. He is "tough on crime" and opposes creating constitutional restrictions on the police, especially in Fourth Amendment cases involving searches for illegal drugs, although there are some exceptions, such as his concurrence in Ferguson v. City of Charleston. He opposes affirmative action as promoting stereotypes of minorities. He also takes a very broad view of constitutional protection for speech under the First Amendment, invalidating a congressional law prohibiting "virtual" child pornography in the 2002 decision, Ashcroft v. ACLU.
According to legal writer Jeffrey Toobin, starting in 2003, Kennedy also became a leading proponent of the use of foreign and international law as an aid to interpreting the United States Constitution. Toobin sees this consideration of foreign law as the biggest factor behind Kennedy's occasional breaking with his most conservative colleagues. In these instances Kennedy attracts the ire of conservatives. According to Toobin, conservatives view Kennedy's pro-gay-rights and pro-abortion rulings as betrayals. In the wake of 1996's Romer v. Evans, Ramesh Ponnoru wrote in the National Review that Kennedy "is commonly acknowledged as the dimmest of the Court's intellectual lights"; in 2005, associate professor of law David M. Wagner called Kennedy "The worst of Ronald Reagan's appointees to the Court", and claimed he abandoned his conservative principles beginning in the 1990s in order to gain "the plaudits of the media and the Georgetown A-list." After 2008's Kennedy v. Louisiana, Rich Lowry called Kennedy the Supreme Court's "worst justice" and said that Kennedy's opinions "have nothing whatsoever to do with the Constitution", and amount to "making it up as he goes along."

Through the years, I have tried to make my AeB software (The AcroTeX eDucation Bundle - see this Adobe Flash Animation, a shameless advertisement) compatible with pdftex and dvipdfm; however, during that time, I've developed a number of techniques that require the use of Acrobat and distiller. Therefore, I have set off in a new direction and will be publishing a new line of LaTeX packages, ones that require the use of Acrobat. I will, however, continue to develop the original AeB, never fear!
The AeB Pro Bundle ("Pro" indicates the use of Acrobat Pro and supported Distiller) I am happy to announce the AeB Pro Bundle. AeB Pro is primarily aimded at users of Acrobat Pro 7.0 or later. Features are
Package files
Demo files Below are some of the demo files that illustrate the capabilities of AeB Pro. Some files are best viewed outside a browser:
Announcing (02/21/10) AeB Builder utility is now in beta testing. AeB Builder is an application designed to process one or more LaTeX files by converting them to PDF files. Used for converting a whole collection of tutorials, a book with many source files, or a collections of online quizzes or tests, to PDF files. There are special switches for setting AeB package options, and a method of using one source file to create any number of different versions, or renditions.
AeB Pro Packages These packages require Acrobat 7.0 or later, the aebXMP package requires Acrobat 8 Pro. All packages, except the AeB Slicing batch sequence require the AeB (The AcroTeX eDucation Bundle). Pick it up at the AeB base.
Now I simply must get back to my retirement!

It would totally freak me out too. Unless the person who lives there have some kind of relationship with this bird, that is a borderline Hitchkockian scenario..
With all the trash people leave behind in the gardens, the seagulls are swarming the places. They will stand right next to you, in big intimidating groups, just waiting to make their move. When the sun comes out again (next year, with a little luck), I need to go and take some pictures of that. :DWe don't get those in the city very often, as we're some distance from the coast, but whenever you go to the ocean, they're always trying to get into your stuff, and just standing there, watching you like they're trying to figure out when to stab you in the back :)
Bastards.Hahaha, that is so funny! I have them really close, as they have taken over the lakes. After the massive swan deaths we only have a few (or one?) couple left. The rest is ducks of different kinds and way too many seagulls for my taste.
I would probably react the way I did with a kitten-ekorre (forgot the english word) today. It was passing med by, back and forth, while I was sitting on a bench. And i "talked" to it, making it come closer and closer to me, until it got so close I had to chae it away. Then the process began all over again.
With mågen I would probably try and invite it for a while, but it would be chased away by the invitation.

Emotions run wild in the mind of a little girl who is uprooted from her peaceful life in the Midwest and forced to move to San Francisco in this Pixar adventure from director Pete Docter (UP, MONSTERS INC.). Young Riley was perfectly content with her life when her father landed a new job in San Francisco, and the family moved across the country. Now, as Riley prepares to navigate a new city and attend a new school, her emotional headquarters becomes a hot bed of activity. As Joy (voice of Amy Poehler) attempts to keep Riley feeling happy and positive about the move, other emotions like Fear (voice of Bill Hader), Anger (voice of Lewis Black), Disgust (voice of Mindy Kaling) and Sadness (Phyllis Smith) make the transition a bit more complicated.
This deal is expected to expire at 11:59pm on Monday August 15th, 2016.

what do you guys use? I've been using cometics for a while now and since i have to tear down the engine and miss carlisle i'm taking my time and going to do a couple other things while its down. But back to the question at hand, looking for something that will not pop on me with 12#s of boost. not so sure i want to stick with the cometics. they seal on the combustion chamber usually but always seem to seep a bit.
If you want something blow proof, get an old school set of copper head gaskets. Summit sells a generic set of copper ones made in America cheap now. There is all kinds of talk about them leaking, but I have used them several times on imports (there simply isn't anything else available for certain cars), and never had one leak. Just put some KW Coppercoat around all the water holes. Kurt
The Fel-Pro MLS is my choice as well and I have not had them seap between the layers. Every set of Cometics I use, even though they say do not coat I coat with a Chrylser MLS gasket spray or Copper spray. 12# of boost should be no issue, Id look to make sure your surfaces are flat and clean and I assume you have nice head studs for a even clamp load. Tq the long studs 10lbs more Something else Ive noticed expecially on 302 factory blocks is the ARP studs can be a little too sharp on the threads and fluid will seap up the threads and leak. I use Right Stuff to seal the studs or bolts in the block over the ARP teflon, and I lightly hit the ARP studs with some emory cloth before installing.
looks like the felpro MLS is what i'm going to get. they are cheaper and two of the guys that i know know what they are doing use them. thanks guys! Kurt, i'm not necessarily looking for something blow proof like an o-ring gasket. i didn't want to go that route in the beginning because if it does need to blow because of detonation then i'd rather it blow the head gasket than the block/piston/etc. head gaskets are relatively easy fix in comparison to a whole bottom end.
i'm confusing myself here. i thought i previously used 4.100 bore .040 thickness cometics. but i can't find that in a felpro MLS. the only fel-pro's i can find on summit are 4.200 bore.
I had terrible problems with cometics. Leaked coated or not. That block didn't make it too long, so I no longer needed that thick of a gasket.

The genus is made up of annuals, biennials and perennials, and there is great variety in the size of the plants. They range from stately tall plants that give height to beds and borders, to mat-forming, spreading ones that are useful in rock gardens.
While all of the flowers come in shades of blue or white, they are not all shaped like bells despite their name. 'Canterbury Bells' however, are aptly named. They have big bell shaped blossoms that face upward and the pistil reminds one of bell's clapper. Also aptly named is the "cup and saucer" flower with flaring petals near the stem.
Low growing campanulas, 'blue clips' and 'white clips' hold their cup-shaped blossoms erect on wiry stems. There is a crisp clean simplicity about these flowers when they appear in the late spring.
In general, campanulas like full sun to partial shade and soil that is moist but well drained. 'Campanula Glomerata' grows about two feet and has deep violet-blue flowers in June in my Indiana garden. It is best to buy plants at local garden centers to obtain the best varieties for this area. Those bells appeal to all who enjoy visual music in a garden.

The King of Fighters XIII is the latest installment in The King of Fighters series that concludes the Ash saga which started in The King of Fighters 2003. The theme for this title is "KOF-ism" or getting back to the heart of the series. The main objective of the game's new features is to appeal to the audience that prefers quick combos.
Mobile versions of the game were released on July 7, 2011 and a downloadable application for social networks was released on October 17, 2011. Additionally, an iOS version of the game, titled The King of Fighters-i-, feauring a reduced character roster, was released on July 7, 2011; an update of this version that includes six more characters was released on September 8, 2011. This same version was later ported to the Android platform on March 22, 2012, as The King of Fighters Android. An updated version featuring 12 new characters and other modes was released on iOS-based devices on May 3, 2012, called The King of Fighters-i 2012. This same version was released on Android on September 3, 2013 as The King of Fighters-A 2012.
A new version of the game, including the characters introduced on the console ports as well as new revisions, was released in Japanese arcades on April 26, 2012, under the name The King of Fighters XIII Climax.
Eisuke Ogura returns to do the character illustrations.
- Special moves now have "EX" versions that require a stock of super meter, functioning similarly to Darkstalkers or Street Fighter III. You can also EX supers for two stocks, reviving the Max Desperations of older KOFs. EX attacks can perform tasks such as adding invincibility, boosting attack speed, adding more hits, and other factors.
- Some EX moves can play nod to other attacks a character has previously had; for example, K's EX Crow Bites resembles his Heaven's Drive DM from 2003-XI and Neo Geo Battle Coliseum, and EX Iori's EX Oniyaki resembles his Orochi version's Oni Honoo in the vs. Capcom series.
- A feature called the "Drive Cancel" allows players to unlimitedly cancel their character's moves to their whim. The ability to do so relies on the "Hyper Drive Gauge" that's above the power gauge, gradually draining it as the players cancel their moves.
- "Hyper Drive Mode" (abbv. as "HD Mode") is a tricky feature that can only be done once the Hyper Drive Gauge is at maximum. It's possible for players to perform an unlimited amount of Drive Cancels at the precise moment the gauge is filled. Although the effect is short and temporary, the feature allows otherwise unlinkable techniques to be used in one combo. Drive Cancels and Hyper Drive Mode are both callbacks to the systems introduced in The King of Fighters 2002, such as the Free Cancel and the MAX Activation, respectively. The Drive Cancel done outside HD Mode is similar to the Free Cancel done in KOF Neowave (a rebalanced version of 2002 pre-dating Unlimited Match), via the Super Cancel mode (where MAX Activation does not exist).
- When a player is in Hyper Drive Mode and has two power stocks available, or in normal state and with three power stocks, they can perform a powerful technique called a "Neo Max Desperation", a revival of the Max 2 Desperations of 2002, Neowave, and 2002 Unlimited Match. Players can also link/cancel into a Neo Max technique during a combo off of a special or even both a normal and EX Desperation, which is dubbed a "Max Cancel". Unlike Max 2s, they can be done at any health level.
- Not only does everyone gain a Neo Max, but almost all characters now gain new or regain old attacks left out in KOF XII.
- Throw attacks are now back to being back or forward + Hard Punch or Hard Kick like in past games, but more like KOF 2003 and XI (in that all characters only have one throw, and button used determines if they switch sides or not)
- The Story Mode returns with a scoring system. When fighting against a CPU opponent, players are challenged to complete a random objective during stages, called Target Actions. Completing these can award bonus points at the scoring screen. Meeting certain actions can also reward players the next round by filling up their power gauge or Hyper Drive Guage. Objectives include goals such as completing a certain amount of hits within one combo, successfully hitting the CPU with a desperation technique (including EX and Neo Max Desperation Moves or specials), or being asked to perform a certain attack within 10 seconds.
- A complete story consists of eight stages, six being spent against teams and two being saved for the final matches.
- During a fight against a CPU opponent, players can be awarded a big boost of extra points if they end a match with a Regular, EX or Neo Max Desperation Move. It also triggers a special splash screen for their victory blow.
- The "zoom" effect seen in The King of Fighters XII has been removed, and general gameplay speed has been improved greatly.
- Pre-fight exchanges similar to those in SNK vs Capcom: SVC Chaos|SVC Chaos are also present in the game. These unique conversations also exist in mirror matches (when two players play with the same character) and they only appear in Single Player mode.
- Aside from the regular team music from the game, players can also listen to the characters' themes from previous KOF games, such as "Queen" from KOF XI for Elisabeth and "KDD-0075" from KOF XI for K'.
- King and Yuri can have their tops ripped off (as in Art of Fighting, Art of Fighting 2, The King of Fighters '94 and The King of Fighters '95) when K.O.'d by special, EX and Desperation Moves.
The entire roster from The King of Fighters XII (including the two console exclusive characters) return in The King of Fighters XIII, arranged in the usual teams of three.
Both Mukai and Botan return. Rose Bernstein returns and is the sponsor of this year's tournament also. All the remaining members from Those from the Past have their faces revealed and are being led by Saiki.
When the game designer was asked about his personal thoughts for this new cast in an interview, he remarked that he isn't always looking forward to adding popular characters from other series. As before with KOF XII, the overall goal for the cast is to create contrasts and variations between each character for an interesting balance between teams. Whenever possible, he believes the characters in The King of Fighters should be reenacting a classic fist-to-fist battle rather than one that relies too much on additional weaponry. Lately, the desire to stay true to this theme in an interesting manner has decided who gets to appear in KOF.

- Seven new stages have been included (with two being boss stages). Changes to old stages from The King of Fighters XII and gimmicks are listed below as follows:
- Japan stage - Sumo wrestlers in front, with the Miyajima island in the background.
- India stage - Yellow colored stage, beautifully animated 3D elephants in the immediate background and the Taj Mahal in the distance.
- Britain stage - 1994 type Britain stage with the Big Ben in the background. The weather starts off foggy, but sun shines by the fourth round.
- London stage - 1994 type Britain stage taking place in a clock tower instead of the city streets. This serves as Billy Kane's stage in arcade mode.
- Brazil stage - Lush-green colored jungle stage that was intended to be in The King of Fighters XII. Hard falls cause objects such as fruits or snakes to fall from the trees.
- Egypt stage - Now green/yellow colored in what appears to be an indoor palace. Green light reflects off of players when the stage's fires are lit.
- China stage - Night time setting with glowing amber lamps. A hard fall on the side of the stage causes a dog to jump out and bark.
- France stage - Sunset setting with the Arc de Triumph and the Eiffel tower in the background.
- America stage - Area above a city with speakers, monitors, and caution tape scattered around; a red, white, and blue sign reading "THE KING OF FIGHTERS" sits above the fighting area. A cage drops in the background in some rounds, and various floats can be seen in the sky.
- Rose Stadium - Orange/brown colored coliseum with a blue rose bed in the middle and some castles in the background.
- Sky Noah Stage - An airship floating high above ground, featuring the Bernstein family lounging and doing their business. Multiple terminals and high-tech consoles are strewn across the stage.
- Desert Stage (Ancient Ruins) - A simple desert with several boulders and cracked surface. A few hints of ruins from ancient civilization are shown.
- Dojo Stage (Kyokugenryu Dojo) - A dojo set in a room, holding several Japanese paraphernalia hanging on the walls. There are posters of the Art of Fighting teams, and students in gis are watching the team battle each other.
- Pao Pao Cafe Stage - A colorful stage with exotic plants and decorations with musicians in the center, with patrons watching over the battle on the left and right behind windows.
- Obsveratory Stage - The fighters are on the edge of a colosseum, where light is illuminating the center from behind, where fireworks are being shot in the distance.
- Southtown Stage - A back alley in the depths of the Southtown, where graffiti is plastered across the brick walls, a random hoodlum is sitting by the opening of one of them, and a broken car with damaged windows.
- Burnt Remains Stage - A lush meadow with trees in the background, also containing the ruins of a European castle with moss and vine decorated on its walls.
- Temple Stage - An eastern temple in Japan, dimly lit by torches planted alongside the structure. It has a memorial site to the left, which unmarked stones.
- Abandoned Factory Stage - An abandoned factory reminiscent of the Rival Team's Stage in The King of Fighters '95. The sun setting provides light for the background as a smoldering power plant is seen from behind, along with a trash pile and a King of Fighters-labelled truck.
- Esaka Stage - A scaffolding connecting to a series of apartment buildings and a train station in Esaka, along with the SNK headquarters in the background. Numerous high school students are cheering on the fight, with a digital billboard promoting the KOF tournament with different fighters. This stage is similar to the Psycho Soldier Stage from The King of Fighters '96.
- BOSS STAGE: Rose Stadium Ashed - The coliseum and castles have been warped into a destroyed version, and the ground is covered in what seems to be cooled magma. Occupying the back of the stadium where the screen once was is a large portal. Above the stadium, lighting and swirling clouds rage in a reddish sky.
- BOSS STAGE: Rose Stadium Misted - The entire stage is almost completely white, with vague shadows of the foundation of Rose Stadium visible.
- Originally unused sound files for the English dub were found in the arcade version of the game through datamining but were eventually removed in home console versions.

Wednesday, January 7, 1998 Published at 19:53 GMT Sci/Tech Scientist ready 'to clone humans' Dolly was the first cloned animal
Chicago-based physicist Dr Richard Seed told the BBC he was in touch with women willing to donate unfertilised eggs.
Dr Seed, who has been involved in embryology research for 16 years, wants to help couples unable to have children.
This prompted President Clinton to propose a five-year ban on any research on human cloning.
Dr Seed is a relative unknown in the scientific community and describes himself as a "free-standing individual".
He will carry out his controversial experiment with the backing of private clinics in Chicago and says he has the skills and equipment to begin his project within months.
Dr Seed has identified four women in the Chicago area who are willing to donate unfertilised eggs.
His technique involves taking an unfertilised egg from the ovary.
The genetic material, or DNA, is extracted and replaced with the nucleus of an adult human cell. Then the egg is implanted in the woman's womb and the resulting embryo is a clone of the person who donated the human cell nucleus.
Dr Seed believes such operations will "contribute seriously to the advancement of human health."
He told American radio: "We are going to become one with God. We are going to have almost as much knowledge and almost as much power as God.
"Cloning and the reprogramming of DNA is the first serious step in becoming one with God - very simple philosophy."
His claims have met with some scepticism from fellow scientists.

This is odd. Well, I say "odd", but baffling, userbase-offending marketing decisions seem to be story of Games For Windows Live's short, obtuse life.
The short story: Games For Windows Live Marketplace is moving to Xbox.com
The long story: Huh?
So: this is going to be merged with this. A PC download store will be merged with an Xbox download store.
You may observe that "Games For Windows" and "Games For Xbox" are not the same thing. You would be right to observe this. Hasn't stopped 'em!
Here's the only explanation offered so far:
"Games for Windows Marketplace will fully transition over to Xbox.com. Now you can get all of your gaming needs in one place. It's convenient, it's concentrated, and it's a whole lot of great games."
Yes, having to go to a different website when I wanted to buy a game for a different format was horribly inconvenient and unconcentrated. Thank goodness they've cleared that one up. Having one less site on the internet is going to make matters so much clearer.
Speculation engines gogo, then. Could this be:
a) a stealth mercy-kill for the forever-troubled GFW Live?
b) An attempt to make overall Xbox marketplace game numbers higher, as some sort of weeing competition with some other platform?
c) An attempt to bolster GFWL sales by hoping Xbox gamers accidentally buy a PC game? Or simply piggy-backing on the better-known name in the hope of greater success?
d) A sign that more cross-platform games are impending? ("No.")
e) Just a marketing decision that sounded good at the time but looks bizarre in the cold, harsh light of internet daylight?
Either way, it rather looks like Games For Windows Live (or at least its store) is, while not yet being retired, backgrounded somewhat. Is this a good thing? Well, I'd rather they worked on making it as good as possible rather than killed it, but I'm struggling to imagine that being subsumed by Xboxery signals it's going to get more rather than less TLC. We shall see, I guess.
How bizarre.
(Thanks to all the folks who sent this in). YOU ARE THE REAL HEROES.

9:35 PM Amherst Town Meeting. Note empty chair (all night) behind "Anne Awad" name tag. Yeah I was tempted to sneak up and add "Former Czar" in magic marker, but I like to be subtle. (Note pensive Rodan pose of Town Manager on far left.)
UPDATE: 11:00 AM: Two Select-persons report they have no idea why Ms. Awad was MIA last night (but then, she never tells them anything.)

Taking the train has long been popular in Europe -- it's almost considered a rite of passage for young backpackers. But while trains have been under-appreciated in the U.S., they're gaining popularity here as well. Amtrak ferried 31.6 million passengers around the country in its last fiscal year, an all-time record for the railroad. With the economy still slumping, train travel is looking increasingly attractive to budget-conscious travelers. Plus, a scenic train ride can even be a vacation in itself. Need more reasons to take the train? You've come to the right place.
Trains are an increasingly cost-effective alternative to planes, particularly if you're going a relatively short distance or if you're traveling in the busy Northeast Corridor, where train service is fast and frequent.
While some rates are quite competitive ($104 on the train vs. $108 by plane between New York and Boston in a recent search), you'll sometimes see dramatic fare differences. For instance, we found a $134 roundtrip fare on Amtrak between New York and Montreal, as compared to $294 for the cheapest roundtrip airfare. The train ride will be longer than the corresponding flight, but for travelers looking to cut costs, the train often wins out -- and you'll get to see some scenery along the way.
Unlike airlines, Amtrak and other rail operators often give discounts to children, seniors, students, AAA members, military personnel and other key demographics. See our list of train travel deals for more opportunities to save.
Anyone who's agonized over when to purchase airfare knows how arcane and frustrating the airlines' pricing structures can be. (We're still waiting for a logical explanation of why a one-way ticket often costs so much more than a round trip. Anyone? Anyone?) Train fares tend to be the same day after day on any particular route, whether it's Monday or Saturday, April or August, two months in advance or two days before departure. While some increases may occur (particularly at peak times or over the holidays) and occasional sales may be available, you can usually count on the stability of train fares, even at the last minute.
Europe -- By Plane or By Train?While many long-haul trains require reservations, many short trips don't, so you can simply show up at the station the day of your trip and grab a ticket for the next train -- without paying an exorbitant last-minute fare.
These days, nearly all the major airlines charge travelers a fee to check a bag or two -- and a few (Spirit, Alligiant, Frontier) now charge for carry-on bags as well. Compare these stingy policies to Amtrak's baggage allowance: two carry-on items up to 50 pounds each (as well as personal items such as purses, strollers and diaper bags) and up to four checked bags up to 50 pounds each, the first two of which are free. Third and fourth checked bags cost $20 each.
In short, Amtrak allows you to bring 200 pounds of luggage -- plus personal items -- for free. Try bringing that on a plane!
Imagine taking a trip and not having to arrive two hours early, wait in a long security line, take off your shoes for inspection, or ration out your liquids and gels. Welcome to the world of train travel. In most cases you can arrive 30 minutes ahead of time and walk straight to your platform.
Photos: The World's Most Spectacular Train Trips
Unlike airports, most major train stations are located right downtown in the heart of the cities they serve. Instead of taking an expensive airport cab ride from miles outside of town, you can step off your train and be just moments from your hotel.
Trains are more energy-efficient per passenger mile than planes or cars, making them one of the most eco-friendly transportation options around (short of walking or riding your bike!). Carbon emissions from trains are less damaging to the environment than those of airplanes because train emissions are not released directly into the upper atmosphere. As a bonus, the relative energy-efficiency of trains means that the industry is less vulnerable to increases in fuel prices -- making train fares more stable in an unstable economy.
There's something refreshingly traditional about taking a train, particularly if you're traveling over a long, multi-night route. The days of silverware and fine china in coach class may be long gone in the airline industry, but on overnight trains you'll still find dining cars with full-service meals and uniformed wait staff. During the day, many train travelers choose to read books, play cards or simply enjoy the scenery rushing by.
Rather than cramming yourself into an ever-shrinking airplane seat or squinting at road signs trying to figure out where to make your next turn, why not relax on a train? It's one of the least stressful forms of transportation out there: someone else does the driving, you'll have more legroom than you would on an airplane and you'll be able to move around at will -- not just when the captain turns the seatbelt sign off.
Unlike airplanes, which whisk you from point A to point B with barely a glimpse of what's in between, a train ride can be a destination in and of itself. Consider the California Zephyr, a dramatic route that wends its way through the Rocky and Sierra Nevada Mountains from Chicago to San Francisco. A ride on this popular Amtrak service offers spectacular scenery. During fall foliage season, try a ride on the Ethan Allen Express from New York to Vermont and enjoy the autumn colors.
