Extracts from Autocar:3-series hatchbackBMW chairman Norbert Reithofer has confirmed that the firm remains committed to launching a smaller, more affordable luxury crossover to accompany next year's 5-series GT.The new smaller BMW Progressive Activity Sedan (PAS) will be based on the facelifted 3-series, due in 2010. As such, it will further bolster the burgeoning ranks of models based on the 3-series platform, slotting into the line-up between the Touring and the next X3. As with the 5-series-based BMW PAS, the 3-series crossover will come with rear-wheel drive as standard, but four-wheel drive will be offered as an option.Designed to offer a slightly higher seating position than the BMW 3-series Touring, the five-seater should also adopt its larger sibling's two-piece liftback for added versatility.To help streamline production, the engines are likely to be drawn from the rest of the BMW 3-series range, with a future line-up of turbocharged four and six-cylinder petrol and diesel units mated to standard manual or optional dual-clutch gearboxes.When he was asked if the worldwide financial crisis had affected plans for the 3-series GT, Reithofer said, "We haven't cancelled the development project for a crossover off the 3-series because it is considered a volume builder with which we can earn good money."BMW first rubber-stamped plans for the smaller PAS over 18 months ago, but a definitive production date has yet to be fixed. Reithofer has been studying proposals to build the new car at BMW's Spartanburg factory in the US state of South Carolina, or the company's Rosslyn plant in South Africa, the source of the majority of 3-series saloons sold in the UK.The 3-series GT won't go on sale until 2011. It should cost around £27,000 in the UK, at today's prices.http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/BMW-Concepts/236714/5-series hatchbackBMW is set to take a huge risk by pressing ahead with the launch of the Progressive Activity Sedan (PAS) executive hatchback, a '5-series GT'.The controversial BMW PAS is due to be unveiled in late 2009. One senior company source has told Autocar that the 5-series GT is "one of the bravest designs ever signed off by BMW". But insiders describe the car as a 'modern grand tourer with a luxury cabin and interior flexibility'.The BMW PAS expected to be priced between the BMW 5-series and BMW 7-series and pitched at drivers who like a higher driving position but are not keen on full-scale SUVs.The car is based on the latest version of BMW's large rear-drive platform, first seen under the recently launched BMW 7-series.Although the precise dimensions are not yet known, the PAS is slightly longer than a 5-series saloon and just shorter than a 7-series. It also rides slightly higher on its wheels than a normal road car.The cabin is based on the same flowing theme revealed in the new Z4, with a wide centre console. Sources say front passengers get a "relaxing, semi-raised position". Although the 5-series GT gets a lower body similar to that of a saloon, the roof line and rear hatch are pure X6.The car's front end has more of a 'nose cone' look, rather like the recently cancelled CS concept. It also gets frameless doors, though there are no plans for a convertible spin-off.The gently sloping roof line curves into an X6-style 'fastback' tailgate. The rear of the car is also said to be like the X6, with a lip at the base of the hatch window and a flat rear panel underneath it, between the rear light clusters.Sources say the tailgate works in a similar way to the Skoda Superb's, either as a hatch or with a saloon-style boot lid. But in the BMW it's the upright rear panel that flips up, offering a letter box-shaped opening. No definitive details have emerged about the 5-series GT's technical specification, but it's thought most European models will get a 3.0-litre turbodiesel engine and most US cars will use a 3.0-litre turbocharged petrol.http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/AllCars/236712/
I think I like the more traditional sedan/saloon.
Oh dear *** god those are horrid.
Dammit BMW!!! Just build the damn CS concept and go!!

A five-door 3-series will further cut into Ford Mondeo/Vauxhall Insignia pricing and segment territory.E-segment hatchbacks have never been particularly popular (Vauxhall Signum being a prime example) and BMW knows this model especially is a gamble. However, the higher seating position and crossover appearance may well appeal to those who want that kind of comfort yet enjoy better fuel economy.
Seems rather silly to have a larger-sized hatchback.

What happened? I thought they were finally gettting their styling back in line. 7-Series, Z4 and on, but no. They had too do this. Hopefully pics of the sedan will look better.
Bloke, are these going to have a higher seating position than the standard cars? They look interesting, but I'm not sure about the styling until I see some more pics. BMW really seems to be thinking outside of the box recently, I applaud that, just not sure I like the results.
superx1919:Seems rather silly to have a larger-sized hatchback.There are people here who want an E-segment executive-sized car with hatchback convenience - the Renault 25 was a prime example, and that particular model model was very popular. However, its a risky move but will prove to be more economical that a similar-sized 4x4 crossover or SUV.
Jahmills:Bloke, are these going to have a higher seating position than the standard cars? They look interesting, but I'm not sure about the styling until I see some more pics. BMW really seems to be thinking outside of the box recently, I applaud that, just not sure I like the results.The 5-series hatch is supposed to get a higher seating position. Front-end styling is more restricted these days because of EU pedestrian anti-impailing legislation governing car design.

Music Review: Bloc Party's Four
Bloc Party came out with a new album Four, despite the fact that 2005 was the last time the post-punk revival was in full swing.We wish we could get into it, but we just can't.
It's 2005. Blink-182 just went on indefinite hiatus, Billy Corgan announced that he wants to reform The Smashing Pumpkins and Korn's guitarist Brian Welch left the band after converting to Christianity. In 2012 The Smashing Pumpkins have released their fourth album minus all of the actual members of the band save for Corgan, Blink-182 are touring for their 20th anniversary and, yes, even Brian Welch played with Korn again. Oh yeah, and Bloc Party came out with a new album, despite the fact that 2005 was the last time the post-punk revival was in full swing.
We talked with two of the members while they were touring this summer and noted that the internet seems to be really psyched about the album Four. Not knowing much about the album, we asked, "Do you want to talk a bit about it?" to which they replied, "What, talk about how amazing we are?" They told us that they were all refreshed after having had such a long break but still seemed bummed about everything or incredibly arrogant. Or maybe it's just good old English charm?
We have a soft spot for throwback albums, and there are a few tracks on Four that bring us back to the wild days of the post-punk resurgence, but others are just muddy attempts at stadium anthems at best. We enjoyed the opening track, "So He Begins to Lie," which really catches any fan's attention and is a great opener for the album with its robust sound. "Team A" is incredible all around and really shows off Kele's unique vocal work, but tracks like "Day Four" and "The Healing" made us want to turn off the album. Maybe there's something odd with the track order, because the flow from song to song seemed jagged.
The album marks the first time the band has ever picked where they've recorded (New York); they noted while talking with us that they've recorded every single album out of a different country, which, "just kind of happened. We asserted ourselves a bit more this time in terms of recording." It's great to hear the band back together again after such a long hiatus and look forward to bands that come out of the woodwork after being inspired by their sound, but we're going to skip the fanfare that will take place over the next few weeks over Four. We wish we could get into it, but we just can't.

Pequot Lakes seventh-grader needs another loving adult
Data has been released this month from research done by the Minnesota Department of Health showing that more than half of Minnesotans have had an adverse experience in their childhood that could have a lifelong impact on their health and well-being.
Situations such as divorce or separation of parents, an incarcerated household member, a mentally ill parent, domestic violence, a household member with an alcohol or substance abuse problem, or verbal, physical or sexual abuse are some of the adverse experiences mentioned in the study.
The extensive body of research documents adults with even one of these experiences is subject to poor physical and mental health, chronic disease, lower education achievement and lower economic success.
However, researchers are quick to point out that although adversity increases risk, it is also clear that adversity is not destiny. The intent is to use this information to better identify and support children and families at risk.
One example given to combat these negative conditions is to involve a loving adult in the child's life. Becoming a Kinship mentor is one way to improve the conditions for children in our own community.
Meet Karlie, a seventh-grader from Pequot Lakes, who is living with her younger siblings and dad. The family has been battling many issues recently, but Karlie continues to do quite well in her studies. She would enjoy one-on-one time with a caring woman and an opportunity to bake, go swimming and dabble with hair and makeup.
Kinship Partners serves families in Crow Wing and southern Cass counties and the Staples/Motley area by providing positive role models to youth ages 5-14. We have offices in Brainerd, Pequot Lakes, Crosby and Staples.
For more information about Karlie or any of the kids on our waiting list, call 218-454-8016 or 877-730-5437. Visit our website at www.kinshippartners.org.

Other projects/programs
The Trust for Public Land is working with local partners and the community to transform this neglected property into a verdant working farm and center for urban agriculture.
This farm has been an open landscape and active farm through a succession of different owners since the early 1600s. In recent years, however, the site's location near West Bridgewater's busy commercial area has made it the focus of several plans for commercial development.
Buffalo Hill Farm, located fifteen miles south of Worcester, has a rich history.
Established in 1943, Griggs Farm was the place to go in Billerica for spring tomato plants or fall pumpkins. But by the 1990s the farm had been hemmed in by retail malls as the town's character grew more suburban.
In 2006, TPL worked with the Town of Groton and the Groton Conservation Trust to assemble the funds required to purchase Surrenden Farm, the town's highest conservation priority.
Located at the heart of Park Hill, 165-acre Echodale Farm was once the
largest unprotected working farm in Easthampton and vulnerable to
residential development.
In 2010, The Trust for Public Land worked with the city of Northampton to conserve Bean and Allard Farms along the Mill River, to preserve local farming for the community, and expand recreational opportunities.
We helped Bolton residents and the local land trust preserve the adjoining Schartner and Nicewicz farms that had supplied the community and region for generations with a variety of fruits, flowers, and vegetables.

By Michael Gavin, SVP, Sales, Merchant Warehouse
Early last summer, I wrote 'Three Key Strategies to Attract Customers and Grow Sales', an article geared towards small business owners, both merchants and resellers, and focused on customer retention, customer service and leveraging mobile to attract new customers. As I reflect back on the past seven months and both my personal experience as a consumer as well as the key activities of our customers (agents, resellers and merchants), I want to take a deeper dive and focus in on one specific topic – customer retention.
It's well documented that it's exponentially more expensive to attract a new customer versus retain an existing one, yet so many business owners focus the majority of their attention, and financial investment, on acquisition and not retention. Building loyalty with existing customers is a critical business initiative that should not be overlooked and it's typically a lot less expensive than advertising to attract brand new customers.

We had a very pleasant stay! Everything went smoothly, from the communication by email beforehand until the check-out. The hosts were always disposable, flexible and very friendly and helpful. The apartment is functional and quiet with some traditional style elements like brick walls and beam ceilings. Plus we think the apartment could not be located any better. Thanks for everything!
We spent a week in Valencia and the apartment was very nice. Joserra and Jesus were great hosts. The Apartment was very comfortable and there ist enough space for two or three guests. It is close to the old town and the next superkarket ist just two doors away. The Apartment contributed to us having great Holidays!
I stayed very very well in this flat it is wonderful And locate d in the city centre it s a good choice
The apartment is really superb! Very close to the centre of Valencia. The interior is wonderful, modern and very clean. The only small thing could complain about was that there is no oven to make a quick pizza or warm some bread up but we managed fine anyway.
Joserra was very very nice and friendly and even recommended a wonderful place to eat some churros.
My girlfriend and I would definitely choose this apartment again, we enjoyed our stay very much.
The flat was very nice. It was clean And confortable. It's in a very good position, in the center of valencia near the metro And the bus stop. Alfonso And Diego were two very nice And friendly people. I really suggest this flat if you go to valencia. :)

Town Square
San Jose's School District Goes Solar: THIS is Municipal Innovation
Original post made by Mike, College Terrace, on Jul 25, 2007
Here's San Jose's Schools District being SMART, and INNOVATIVE. Just look at the commercial partners: Bank of America and Shell (probably others, too).
THIS is the kind of thing we need to see more of in Palo Alto, a city that has been resting on the laurels of PAST innovative hegemony.
The PAUSD BOE and our policy-makers - including senior staff at city hall should look at this as a lead in to similar projects. THIS is what I mean by "aggresive business development".
Someone in San Jose had BIG idea, and made it work. Kudos!
I want to see more of this sort of thing in Palo Alto.
We have a lot on our plate; we're behind in infrastructure spending; we're looking for new revenues to bolster our schools - and so on. It's ideas like this one, in Sna Jose, that LEVERAGE EXISTING SOCIAL AND CAPITAL INFRASTRUCTURE that we need to see more of.
Congratulations, San Jose!

They could save a lot more by just putting a nuclear power plant in downtown San Jose.

Please Mike,
This is America. Do you really think we would buy some crappy 'Made in Japan' nuclear reactor? Hell no! We would get a nice, high quality, earthquake-proof, 'Made in China' reactor.
Get with the times.

"A (Richter) 8.5 quake doesn't care where anything is made. Like Tony S. would say "it's physics, baby"."
Mike, Are you sure about that statement? Base islation methods have shown some pretty impressive results.
Web Link
A quote from the article:
"Isolation used in conventional nuclear plants greatly simplifies the expensive and time-consuming design and qualification of the equipment, piping, and supports for seismic loading. In addition, when seismic design criteria are increased due to the discovery of nearby faults, for example, the plant need not be redesigned; upgrading the isolation system is sufficient.
In an experimental program at EERC isolation bearings were designed, produced, and tested for two types of liquid metal reactor designs. The first, called PRISM, uses high-shape factor isolation bearings designed to provide horizontal isolation only. In the other design, SAFR, the reactor is supported on low-shape bearings that provide both horizontal and vertical isolation. The results of this test series extended the range of the isolator types with well-understood characteristics. "
I wouldn't suggest straddling the San Andreas falut with a major nuke, but right next to it would be OK.
Nuclear power is the only realistic source of energy (base load) going forward. Time to start building that infrastructure.

John, I'm well aware if the program at EERC; I'm also well aware of the subsoil stresses of a quake over 8.0. No matter what you do in a lab, there is nothing we know of that will guarantee that we wouldn't have a disaster.
I would rather not gamble, and risk the literal future of this region. What's the half life of nuclear fuel again? Imagine a serious leak after a quake, when emergency personnel are unable to contain it.
Figure out a way to come up with power alternatives, or conserve, or both. Nukes are not going to be built in California, not once the public gets wind of what the potentail for disaster is.
In any case, congratulations to Sann Jose for its innovative move; we need to see more of that kind of thinking throughout the Valley, and America.

"Figure out a way to come up with power alternatives, or conserve, or both. Nukes are not going to be built in California, not once the public gets wind of what the potentail for disaster is."
Mike, the only reliable base load sources of electricity are dammed rivers, fossil fuels or nuclear. Wind and solar are not base load producers. Fossil fuels have a heavy carbon footprint. We have already nearly maxed out our power productions from hydro in California, unless we want to build a bunch of new dams.
Conservation will not solve the problem, though it will help a little bit. The booming population of Calif. will demand nuclear, Mike. You cannot stop it, even with your scare tactics.
a resident of College Terrace
on Jul 26, 2007 at 1:23 pm
You choose:
Potential semi-permanent abandonment of California (for centuries) if nuke plant fries during an 8.0+ quake OR looking for other ways (some not yet discovered) to deal with energy shortages.
So who needs to get with the times?

U.S. nuclear plants have proven to be quite safe. Containment buildings are designed to 'contain' the problem, as they did at Three Mile Island (unlike Chernobyl, which had no cantainment building). Modern designs are built to default to a safety condition (some older designs required active procedures to gain a safe condition). Base isolation is a significant safety improvement for seismically active areas.
The real threat to California is a shortage of clean power going forward. Your scare tactics will not stop it, because there IS no other answer, at this point. Fusion is still a long way off.

You might even want to check the reality of Chernobyl casualties against the predictions. Most of the Chrenobyl deaths were caused by mining the coal to replace the lost generating capability.

That's total BS, Walt! Did you hear that from Heil Hannity???

I was a student of energy production before Hannity was born. What is the death toll now? 38 or 39? where is the statistical verification of more cancers, more deaths from associated causes? Why are the bunnies hopping around the abandoned Chernobyl farms not growing wings?
Thank you, Gimme, for proving a little ignorance goes a long way.

Chernobyl is a wildlife haven, and has been proposed as a national park.
Web Link
Chernobyl might also serve as a national repository for all the nuclear power plant radioactive waste in Russia. Imagine that, a national park on top, with flourishing wildlife, and nuclear wastes under the ground.

How long ago did Chernobyl happen? Not long enough to be able to gauge long-term damage at the micro-level (germ cell, etc.)
btw, "lige foes on", which maens that things can live right alongside nuclear contaminated plots.
Walt, here's a test. Would you move to a Chernobyl-like area in the US with your family - including grandchildren - following a nuclear accident? Just wondering.
No matter what any of you self appointed experts say, there is NO WAY that any nuke plant has ever been tested in Richter 8.0+ conditions.
Anyone wanting to make that gamble can sign up to live in the contaminated area, Put your money - and life - where your mouth is.
It's always amusing to see the armchair faux-heroes come out when we talk about nuke plants in California.

The community surrounding Three Mile Island is thriving, due to high wage jobs provided by the plant. If someone tried to shut down that plant, there would be protests by the parents with young kids, because Daddy might be out of a good job.
The closed off area around Chernobyl is about 30 km, hardly an entire state. If there had been a containment building, the closed area would be much smaller, perhaps nothing outside the containment building.
I would gladly live next to a nuclear power plant of modern design. My grandchildren might even get good jobs at the plant.
Scare mongering will not, in the end, overcome the need for nuclear power plants. Those who cannot think rationally will just need to move to another region.

I might want to check the background readings, but then, would you and your grandchildren live somewhere the background radiation was twice what it is here? Like Denver?
As for long term, as Walter Reuther used to say in the long term we are all dead.
There is no way our civilization can survive without plentiful affordable energy. You want to live where you have 2 hours of elecricity and water a day? That will kill you a damn sight quicker than radiation.

The problem of Energy in US is described in one example below:
"Shops in Stanford Mall are required to keep their doors open even when air-conditioners are operating"

Closing the doors would have no significant effect on A/C loads since a minimum percent of outside air always has to be brought in anyway, by code.

I thought this product didn't work well at first UNTIL I was reading reviews and saw a comment someone made saying in the directions it says to apply to damp skin... I started putting a spray of hydrating toner on before and then apply it when my skin is a bit damp and now I love it!!! I've gotten so many compliments on my glowing, smooth skin!4
Better options are out there. This smells kind of weird - not bad, but noticeable and not neutral. Don't want that on my skin. You have to wet your skin prior to putting on the foundation. That in itself isn't a deal breaker, but what is weird is that it seems to go on THICK. I mean coverage is nice and everything, but this is like wall sparkle. No thank you.2
I'm not a huge fan of CC creams but when I received this in my May BirchBox I had to try it out. It only came in 2 shades- a semi light and tan. I got the semi light and being very pale, it surprising matched me pretty well. The smell is a bit odd but I enjoy it, it smell sort-of chemically. I love the feel and the way it leaves my skin looks amazing! Wish the sample was just SLIGHTLY bigger so i could use it a bit more, before I know for certain whether I want to repurchase or not.4
This product isn't great. This goes on more like a thick foundation rather than a CC cream. It felt heavy on my face and had an odor similar to cayenne pepper. The color was a little bit too coppery to match olive complexion even after applying powder on top to try to mask it. I've used it twice, but it's not something I would purchase.3

"I have passion. I am driven. I'm going to give you all I have, every day and every night," said Collins. "My vision for this program is to graduate students, first and foremost. I'm proud of the graduation success rate and we will continue that. Also, we will win championships."

Flood Recieves USSF Coaching B-License
Iona College women's soccer assistant coach Bailey Flood has received her United States Soccer Federation (USSF) "B" License after completing her first season under head coach Mike Barroqueiro.
Flood, a 2010 graduate of Manhattanville College was added to the Iona coaching staff at the beginning of last season and worked with the Gaels' midfielders and defenders.
"I've always been very proud and appreciative to have someone like Bailey on staff here at Iona and I could not be more thrilled about her recent professional accomplishment", said Barroqueiro. "Her commitment to pursue coaching education and desire to continue her development at her craft is a testament to just how dedicated she is to the game and all the lives that she has touched while coaching it."
At just 23 years old, Flood is one of the youngest coaches in the country with a B-License, which is the 2nd highest license that a coach can obtain through the federation. The process to obtain the B-License is a very demanding nine-day residential course and the individual must pass a number of evaluations in order to complete the course.
"She is a rising star in this profession and an inspiration to each of our players. We are so proud to have her representing our Iona family!," commented Barroqueiro.

Heinz announces closure of Pocatello plant
POCATELLO, Idaho - The Heinz plant in Pocatello is closing its doors.
The facility, which employs 410 people, will join two other Heinz locations in having its production shifted to existing factories in the U.S. and Canada within the next six to eight months.
"Our decision to consolidate manufacturing across North America is a critical step in our plan to ensure we are operating as efficiently and effectively as possible to become more competitive in a challenging environment, and to accelerate the company's future growth," said Senior Vice President of Corporate & Government Affairs Michael Mullen in a statement Thursday.
Mullen said the company would offer severance pay and help workers to find new jobs.
"We appreciate the many contributions these employees have made to Heinz, and we are committed to treating all employees with the utmost respect and dignity," Mullen said.
Mullen said the company "regrets the impact" the closure will have on employees and their communities. Heinz only came to this decision after "thoroughly exploring extensive alternatives and options," he said.
The other affected Heinz locations are in Florence, S.C., with 200 employees, and Leamington, Ontario, with 740 employees.


text: I have a idea for a way to eleminate the nut that Im keeping to myself untill I can test it I may try to market it and if it works It will be slick and would allow a barrel to be changed in about 30 It still will require threads on the barrle and trunion but will not regure any weird mods to any thing and would not look weird. Ive told one member to document my idea. If it works it will be easy to copy by the home builder.


text: The nuc I have been expecting to fail has finally died off. There is a small handful of bees, a bit of stores, a decent dose of roaming larvae (hive beetle or wax moth) and some hive beetles running around. I am ready to expand one of my other recently hived nucs to a second deep. Am I just asking for trouble moving the drawn frames from the failed nuc to the other hive without freezing them first?

It seems Ferrari and McLaren caught Porsche short when it announced the initial specifications for the upcoming 918 Spyder.
When it originally revealed the vital numbers for its hybrid supercar, Porsche said the 918 would pack a massive 593kW of power, but then McLaren announced the specs for its P1 and handily topped Porsche with 673kW.
Not to be outdone, Ferrari then unleashed the hideous, stupidly named LaFerrari with a simply colossal 718kW of power.
So now it seems Porsche may be upping its game to catch up, if a report that it has bumped up the 918's power and shaved off more weight is to be believed.
US website www.topspeed.com is reporting that the 918's power has been upped to 652kW.
Heaven can wait, I'm busy
Epic drives are always good - especially if a good cause can benefit from them - but this has to be among the best we have heard of for some time.
Les Carvall, Alan Butler, Glyn Maher and Charles Scott are all in their 70s and have just set out on a quick drive around the world in a pair of largely standard Suzuki Jimnys.
It is just them, no support vehicles or crew and the Jimnys are standard apart from additional luggage racks, all-terrain tyres, modified springs and dampers and heavy-duty bumpers front and rear.
Carvall is the mastermind of the operation, having admired the large convoy of classic cars on the Paris to Peking Rally two years ago.
Since then he has worked at setting up the three-continent, 16-country trip, plus setting up the ''Heaven can wait, I'm busy'' charity to distribute money raised from what he likes to call ''The Ultimate Challenge''.
The adventure began on Easter Sunday and its progress will be monitored, with updates being added to the website www.heavencanwaitimbusy.com four times a day.
KTM bringing sexy back to scooters
Scooters have their place in the large scheme of things but they are not exactly manly. Or sexy, for that matter.
Throw in an electric drivetrain and they become far more frugal and worthy, but even less sexy. And manly.
But the maniacs at KTM may have the answer for all manly men who have secretly been longing for an electric scooter they could face being seen on.
The E-Speed concept scooter is pretty much everything every other scooter isn't: angular, aggressive and startlingly orange. The E-Speed brings more than a hint of the mental X-Bow ''car'' to the world of scooters.
Powered by an electric motor and battery pack developed in conjunction with its very cool off-roading big brother the KTM Freeride E - the E-Speed - pumps out a healthy (in the world of scooters, that is ... ) 11kW of power to the rear wheel via a belt drive.
But like all electric vehicles, it's about the torque, and the E-Speed is packing an impressive 36Nm of the twisty stuff, which is more than enough to punch the
E-Speed to a top speed of a little over 80km/h.
KTM says the 4.36 kilowatt-hour lithium-ion pack is good for 65km and can be fully charged in two hours when plugged into a 220-volt outlet.
The Ham drops the beats
One piece of news that slipped quietly out this week and took a bit of investigation to check whether it was an April Fools' joke was that 2008 Formula One world champion
Lewis Hamilton was working on a pop album.
Apparently the former champ has been working on the album for the past 12 months with the help of singer/songwriter/producer Angel, who has previously collaborated with Rihanna, Dizzee Rascal and Frank Ocean.
Angel told British newspaper, The Sun, that he was working with Hamilton and that his songs were ''off the hook'' and that he was ''a proper singer''.
''It's a real diversity,'' said Angel. ''He's got rap, `dirty south' kind of tunes, some massive pop records and soul records. We're doing all types of genres. We've written about 12 songs so far.''
For the record, we have no idea what ''dirty south tunes'' are either.
We are the world
*An Irish roadwork crew have been suspended for doing their job.
The three-man crew was returning from another job when they spotted a pothole and decided to stop and repair it. They were seen by a Health and Safety worker and
subsequently suspended for not filling out the proper paperwork for the pothole.
*Real police are expensive, but cardboard cutouts of them are far cheaper. And they may make people drive more safely if they are placed by the side of the road. This is the
thinking in the Indian city of Bangalore where cardboard law enforcers have just been deployed.
''It is not a gimmick,'' says traffic commissioner M.A. Saleem.
''Wherever we have put up these cutouts, violations have come down,'' he said. There is a shortage of more than 500 traffic policemen in the city.
*Tim Hopkins, of Memphis, Tennessee, died a few weeks ago. The first paragraph of his obituary is quite possibly the best ever written: ''Timothy Wayne `Tim' Hopkins, 54, went to be with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and Dale Earnhardt to contribute his
building and painting expertise to the constructing of many heavenly mansions on Saturday, March 23, 2013, in Memphis.'' Build on Tim, the Lord and Dale will no doubt be
pleased to have you there building those heavenly mansions.

MSU survey to shine light on roofie problem
BOZEMAN, Mont. - On the MSU campus, the Help Center said they're nearing completion on a survey they created after an increase in reports of roofies.
Those reports were often second or third-hand accounts told to one of the counselors at the VOICE Center, so the organization wanted to gauge how big the issue really is.
They created the survey on involuntary drugging several months ago, and Community Education Specialist Megan Selheim said they've received numerous responses.
Now, they're beginning to look at the results- but say they're waiting for a few more responses to come in before releasing their findings.
Selheim said after looking at the statistics, she hopes to launch an outreach education campaign.
"We're hoping that education is going to help hopefully remedy the situation" she said. "We do think that at least part of what's going on is people aren't equating being drugged with something that's serious and needs to be addressed, and so we're hoping to help them connect those dots."
Selheim said the survey is still open, and answers are anonymous. Click here to take the survey.

Two Eastern Idaho bridges to be replaced
RIGBY, Idaho - A bridge is shut down tonight in Jefferson County. Another in Saint Anthony will be replaced.
About two weeks ago, inspectors from Idaho's Transportation Department found a big problem with the Burgess Canal Bridge in Jefferson County.
Regional ITD spokesman Bruce King and I went underneath it to find the potential bridge failure that prompted the county to replace it. King explained how the crack could have been caused. "As traffic rolls over a bridge, there is flexing of the structure. The more flexing, the more fatigue over time, and eventually the structural components can weaken," said King. King said the fracture wasn't there when the department inspected it two years ago, adding "I think this obviously certifies the importance of regular inspections of bridge structure to ensure their safety."
The bridge on South Third West will be replaced this summer with a steel structure using local, state and federal funds. But Jefferson County isn't the only county dealing with bridge failures. Fremont County is replacing the Del Rio bridge in St. Anthony.
"It's 80 years old and obviously its received an awful lot of wear, and there is certainly structural fatigue there and the bridge right now is structurally deficient," said King.
Details about the new bridge are limited, but ITD says it will use money from the federal and state taxation of gasoline.
The Jefferson County bridge project has closed a few roads in Rigby. A portion of North 3900 East and South Third West are closed. The roads will re-open this summer. Roads in Saint Anthony haven't been affected so far.

I recently got lucky enough to try out Windows 8 on an Acer Aspire S7 that I've been loaned as part of the Windows Champions program. I've been quite content with Windows 7 on my own desktop machine, so I was interested to see what Windows 8 could offer me.
The Acer is shiny and new, and very streamlined. My first impressions of it were that it had sharp edges and keys that didn't have quite enough travel, but also that the touch screen, relatively low weight, and superior functionality were wonderful. And the included Bluetooth mouse kept me from having to use the trackpad. (I'm a long-time desktop computer user, and trackpads make me stabby.)
Also, on the Acer, the volume is sufficiently loud and sounds very good. It's great for watching videos, for example. The keyboard isn't to my liking, however. Even though the keys are very shallow, you need to press them just right to get them to register your keystrokes. (My all-time favorite keyboard is still the one on the Eee PC.)
So with the backdrop of the Acer, I started to explore Windows 8. Once the computer was charged, I opened it up and it turned on without me even hitting a button. I discovered that this happens each time. Windows 8 then led me through some basic setup, including a license agreement, personalization, connecting to the network, and other customizations. There were also some short instructions on how to interact with the touch screen features of Windows 8. The Acer has a touch screen, but even devices without touch screens can utilize most of the OS functionality.
When you turn on the machine, you need to log in each time. You have some choices with this, however. You can log in with a password, a PIN, or touch screen gestures on a chosen photo. My Microsoft Live password, which I originally needed to use during setup, was a bit clunky, and the photo gestures weren't to my liking, so I opted for the PIN entry method.
Windows 8 feels like a cross between a tablet interface and a conventional PC interface. It has most of the regular desktop features from Windows 7, but has an overlay of tablet-ese, with an interface for apps. My only experience with apps is on Apple devices, so this mashup will take some getting used to. More Windows apps are coming out all the time, and connecting your Windows 8 device to a Microsoft account allows you to download them. There are some advantages to using an app instead of a regular PC application, including being able to use some of the new Windows 8 functionality. I'll learn more about this as I dive deeper into the OS for future posts.

Andy's of Crosslake under new ownership
Andy's Restaurant and Liquor Store in Crosslake is under new ownership, with some remodeling in the works and an expanded menu on the way.
Ed Money, the new owner, said he plans to keep the restaurant and liquor store pretty similar to how they have been, but with more emphasis on the menu and kitchen.
He'll serve sandwiches and burgers, including a juicy Lucy and prime rib sandwich, among other items.
Remodeling plans include a new bar top and bar front, new ceiling tiles, carpet and paint. He'll also be putting in a few flat screen TVs, as well as tap beers.
His goal was to re-open April 10. The name will remain the same, but he may create a new logo.
Money said the selection former owner Lonna Andolshek built in the liquor store is what he believes to be the best in the area. One of the store's offerings is Louis XII cognac, which retails for $2,395.
He said the store has an especially good selection of vodka and tequila.
Money was told the Andy's building is possibly the oldest in Crosslake, having once housed the post office. He believes it was built around 1909.

SECRET SAUCE is the world's first BIOACTIVE POST-WORKOUT FORMULA enhanced with pharmaceutical quality BSA (Bovine Serum Albumin) for potent anabolic action and fast recovery. BSA is a scientifically documented bioactive protein derived from bovine blood plasma. Research shows that BSA can rapidly speed up the revitalization of muscle tissue, thus helping to build bigger and stronger muscles.
Experience the new generation of post-workout recovery. SECRET SAUCE combines real research and real ingredients to provide real results.
5g Bovine Serum Albumin Bioactive Peptides & Growth Factors
SECRET SAUCE is the world's first post-workout formula that delivers Pharmaceutical Quality Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) Bioactive Peptides to create a potent anabolic environment that helps produce incredible results and recovery. BSA is a scientifically documented bioactive protein derived from bovine blood plasma. Researchers have identified BSA to have multiple biological factors that help influence muscle growth. Some of the biological factors and functional properties of BSA include its bioactive peptides and growth factors, high concentrations of leucine and essential muscle building amino acids, high osmolality and its ability to enhance the uptake and transport of nutrients such as creatine, amino acids and glucose into blood plasma and speed delivery to muscle tissue.
10:1:1 Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs)
The BCAAs – Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine – are one of the most highly researched and backed supplements on the market today. They have been shown in research to help prevent muscle breakdown, while promoting a potent anabolic effect. SECRET SAUCE packs a powerful 5g of a leucine-loaded dose in a highly anabolic 10:1:1 ratio to help maximize muscle anabolism and reduce catabolic muscle breakdown following intense training. Stimulating protein synthesis is an essential key when triggering muscle growth and research has shown leucine to be perhaps the most anabolic and effective amino acid for activating mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) – one of the body's protein synthesis regulators, energy sensors and nutrient sensors of amino acid availability.
Power-AMP Cre3™ Creatine Complex
To further amplify SECRET SAUCE, MuscleMeds scientists developed the Power-AMP Cre3™ Creatine Complex, a multi-source complex that consists of creatine monohydrate, Creatine Magnapower® and creatine gluconate for greater muscle voluminization for superior muscle growth and recovery. Research has suggested that one of the most optimal times to consume creatine is immediately following your demanding workout. The combination of all three forms of creatine in SECRET SAUCE has been shown to peak creatine plasma levels faster, enhance the body's absorption rate, and boost the generation and regeneration of ATP – which is further increased due to BSA's plasma transport gradient.
iSPIKE Insulin-Release-Amplifying Reactive Carbohydrate System
The speed at which a nutrient particle is absorbed is partly a function of its surface area. The greater the surface area, the more digestive enzyme molecules can react with it simultaneously. This promotes greater rates of absorption and higher insulin spikes. MuscleMeds researchers have reduced the average size of the carbohydrate particles in iSpike while increasing the total number of particles, thus resulting in a substantial increase in reactive surface area and faster absorption.
The 3 components of high-speed Beef Protein Isolate (BPI), surface area enhanced carbohydrates and a multi-action enzyme system are vital to create major insulin spikes, but the MuscleMeds research and development team took things a step further. iSpike technology utilizes a novel amino acid that has been described by scientists as having insulinotropic properties. This compound acts as the "gatekeeper" for insulin's path to muscle tissue. By working in tandem with the BSA plasma transport system, it can activate a highly anabolic insulin surge and super fast muscle glycogen and ATP saturation, leading to increased growth and enhanced repair of muscle tissue.
Providing iSpike with its second and third layers of insulin signal amplifying support is a patent-pending mineral known as Chromium 454 (Cr454), plus D-pinitol (a cyclitol). These two compounds take over where insulin leaves off, opening up even more "doors" on the surface of your muscle cells through which glucose can penetrate.
Preliminary research results show that Cr454 may increase glucose uptake into human skeletal muscle cells up to 300%. When more glucose enters your muscle cells in the presence of insulin, even stronger anabolic signals are possible, which support faster speeds of glycogen replenishment and mass building.

I have two veils that I use from time to time. One is a yellow veil that is attached to a pull-over jacket, and the other is a black veil that I drape over my head and shoulders.
When I am using the yellow veil I find it harder to see larvae and eggs in the comb, but when I wear the black they show up better, and I can see them clearly.
Any reason for this? Does the yellow mess with your depth perception, or something along those lines?

Reverse engineering certification
I'm looking to get more into reverse engineering. I have the option of taking either the Advanced Malware analysis course by the Academy of Computer Education or the Certified Reverse Engineering Analyst course by IACRB (Information Assurance Certification Review Board). I know that both the CREA and AMA courses are hands on, but I don't know anything about the certs. What do you guys think would be the best course to take? The SANS GREM is out of my reach right now due to the cost of SANS classes.

Cute cottage, lovely place. Unfortunately, Andreas was not there, we always find it nice to get some tips from the host, but everything was well organized. Metro, bus and shops to reach trough the park in a minute or 5-6, from there a few stops to the center. The metro stations of the blueline are worth worth seeing. Only comment about the cottage: the path to it is quite a bit of climbing. Stockholm is beautiful, and the combination of big city and stay as if you are in the forest is fantastic!. Andreas, thank you for accepting us as your guests!
The apartment is very nice with a market and transportation service very close. The sea is nerby and that is very great.
Andreas is attentive and friendly guy.
The WiFi Connection is not bad but is not the best.
I recommend this place, do not doubt reserve.
Thanks Andreas for all.
Good Location, near a small habour and only 4 stops by tunnelbanna from Gamla Stan. (If you take the shotcut through the Wood behind the house you are at the Underground in about 5 minutes).Nice little house, everything you need for your stay, you can buy right beside the underground Station (COOP-Shop). The kitchen is well equiped and the living room is small but with a great look to the area. We enjoyed the stay very much, it was like at home but with the great connection to a marvellous city. Andreas was great, he showed us all necassary things (including washing machine, fuse-box: was very helpful for us!!). He was acquirable for us all the time, but it was not necassary. It was a comfortable relationship between guest and renter. Surely you can hear a little bit the traffic of the area, but on my opinion you have to accept this to be close to the center. But you have really no nerve-stretching neighbours. :-) The area was also very secure, we left also washed clothes outside the house and nothing was stolen. And sometimes we came home late, but all the ways were lightened up very bright. The 1. way to the house was also exactly as descriped from Andreas before arrival. So have a nice stay, as we had. :-)
We loved the stay in Stockholm! This accomodation is really lovely and comfortable. Especially the kitchen is useful, because food in the city is very expensive. Additionally the closeness to the metro station is great, so you only need about 15 minutes to the central station.
Unfortunately the internet is slowly sometimes, so you better don't need wifi.
My boyfriend and I absolutely loved staying in this mini cottage - it was, for us, the perfect place to stay whilst holidaying in Stockholm. We were able to make our own breakfast and cooked dinner there every day, which helped on the pocket as Sweden is not the cheapest of places to visit. The only problem we had was with the wi-fi - we had to leave the cottage to connect and look up travel info and check e-mails, etc - if you're desperate to be connected all the time then this isn't the place for you - we didn't let it ruin our holiday though and in fact embraced the fact we weren't constantly connected to the world wide web!
A short walk through the woods took us straight to a great supermarket as well as a metro station which then only took us 10 minutes to get into the city centre - so even though on the map this looks a little far out, it really isn't at all!
My favourite thing about staying here was the fact the water was just 1 minute from our cottage - we were able to go swimming in the sea with the locals in the sunshine - it was just perfect and I would stay here again in a flash!
Thanks again Andreas - maybe see you next time I'm in Sweden.
Very charming cottage containing all you need for a nice stay. With the underground we were quickly in Stockholm City taking the "way" directly behind the cottage. Whenever we will travel to Stockholm again, we will definitely get in touch with Andreas again.
Sehr süßes kleines Ferienhaus mit toller Lage fast direkt am Wasser. Die Innenstadt ist gemütlich zu Fuß zu erreichen, aber auch die Verkehrsanbindung ist super (UBahn).
Andreas ist ein engagierter Vermieter, ansprechbar und sehr hilfreich.
Wir hatten wunderbare Tage in Stockholm.
Ein süßes kleines Häuschen direkt am Wasser und seeeehr waldnah! Bis zur City ist es nicht weit (10min zu Fuß bis zur Ubahnstation und von da aus sind es nur 4 Stationen in die Stadt). Besonders toll ist die großzügige terasse!
Einen Minuspunkt gibt es: kein w-lan.
Ansonsten war die Kommunikation mit Andreas super! Er hat immer schnell geantwortet und geholfen!

text: So the title says it all. I'm an adult just started learn to skate classes and am really enjoying myself. I'm starting my second 6 week session this week (this tells you how new I am--6 weeks of skating so far). I don't want to get skates that I'm going to replace right away, but at the same time, I hate the rental skates. There's one pair that I can tolerate at best, one pair that hurt while I skate, and one pair that I cause my feet to cramp up the whole time I skate and seem to leave my feet hurting for a few hours after I'm done skating. I seem to rotate through these skates (2 different models) each week. Anyway, with my feet hurting and 4 rentals left on my card, my question is do I just deal with it until I progress far enough to justify buying skates or do I buy a pair sooner rather than later. In addition, what would be recommended for a beginning adult? There is a pro shop and I can ask questions there too, but thought I'd start here. Right now I'm in Pre-Alpha II but am doing the following: forward swizzles backwards swizzles backwards wiggles/skating backwards 2 foot glides from swizzles forward 1 foot glides on each foot 2 foot snowplow stops from forward glides skating into a dip forward half swizzle pumps 2 foot turn from standstill (each direction) started stoking from t-position started 2 foot turns while moving (not overly successful so far...) So not a lot yet, but I'm just starting out. Anyway, advice regarding skates would be appreciated.

Cuban deadline passes for dissident releases: What next?
Sunday marked the end of the four-month deadline Cuban President Raúl Castro had agreed to with representatives of the Cuban Catholic Church and the Spanish government to free 52 prisoners of conscience who remained in jail since the March 2003 crackdown against dissidents, known as the "Black Spring." The Spanish foreign minister at the time, Miguel Angel Moratinos, said in Havana on July 8 that the move to release the prisoners "opens a new era in Cuba." But have things changed in the EU regarding Cuba? Not really. Has anything changed on the island? Not really. On Monday, at midnight, 13 of the 52 prisoners remained in jailed.

Moving Comfort is recognized within the women's athletic and outdoor industry as having some of the finest fit and support standards of any sports bras. Moving Comfort apparel was first created by two women who loved running and found that the athletic apparel industry lacked proper-fitting clothing for women athletes. Women athletes in the seventies were relegated to wearing the smallest men's sizes, so the two founders began by making the first Moving Comfort apparel thirty years ago.
As Moving Comfort sports bras have become more popular, the core mission has remained the same: to create and offer the finest performance apparel, sports bras, and accessories that will give women the support and inspiration they need to get fit, stay healthy and achieve their own personal successes, both in sport and in life.
When a woman wears their bra, she gets the benefit of unwavering commitment to perfect fit, support and comfort for every fitness level, activity and aspiration. Each sports bra is created by their design team that continually researches and evaluates every single seam, stitch and strap to ensure their products are the most supportive, comfortable and innovative on the market.
The DriLayer
Their sports bras all feature their exclusive DriLayer. The Drilayer is a moisture management technology that keeps your skin dry and chafe-free by transferring moisture away from your skin to the outside of the garment where it quickly disappears and evaporates. They also create bras to varying degrees of impact depending on the sport or activity:
High Impact Sports Bras
The bras that are designated for high impact sports are the best bras for running, soccer, martial arts, tennis and other sports. Some of the popular high impact bras are the Dori bra, the Cara sports bra (which also happens to be the most supportive innerwear Moving Comfort bra in their line), the Fiona bra and the Maia bra.
Medium and Low Impact
These are ideal choice gym workouts on the elliptical trainer, power walking, hiking and inline skating, a favorite is the Chloe sports bra. Low impact sports bras are everyday options that can be worn for yoga and pilates, weight training, golf and cycling. The Iris Sports Bra is another popular medium impact bra from Moving Comfort.
We are proud to have this brand's bras in our repertoire of women's athletic bra options. We regularly add new styles, colors and sizes, so check back often to be sure you're wearing the best possible support system to enhance your athletic performance. Shop at Freshpair and receive free shipping on your next domestic order.

The achievements have now been removed, but this is the strongest indication yet that the DLC may be on its way to other platforms.
