LG Electronics pursues its 21st century vision of becoming a true global digital leader who can make its customers worldwide happy through its innovative digital products and services. LG Electronics set its mid- and long-term vision anew to rank among the top 3 electronics, information, and telecommunication firms in the world by 2010. As such, they embrace the philosophy of "Great Company, Great People," whereby only great people can create a great company, and pursue two growth strategies involving "fast innovation" and "fast growth." Likewise, they seek to secure three core capabilities: product leadership, market leadership, and people-centered leadership.
The LG HVAC Advantage
LG HVAC systems offer a range of solutions that are cost efficient, quiet and attractive. They provide a smart alternative to both central HVAC and window-mounted air conditioners, and are available in a variety of configurations to suit different cooling and heating situations.
Split Systems
These innovative systems are "split" into indoor and outdoor units. The interior units are available in several different units. The interior units are available in several different configurations: Art Cool, standard wall-mounted, Floor Standing and ceiling cassettes. All interior units have remote controls for easy use. Installation by a qualified HVAC contractor is safe and easy - no duct work or sheet metal is needed. Single, dual and tri-zone systems, as well as cooling only and heat pump models, are available.
Flex Multi-Split Dual-, Tri- and Quad-Zone Air Conditioning Systems
The larger, Flex Multi-Split systems operate two, three or four interior units that are mounted in separate rooms. Each indoor unit comes with its own remote control, allowing the customer to set the temperature individually in different rooms. These units are connected to a single exterior unit. The interior units are available in a variety of styles, including Art Cool, Standard, Ceiling Cassette, and Ceiling Concealed Duct models. Dual-, Tri- and Quad-Zone are available in Heat Pump systems.
Warranty Info
Luxuries Of A Mini-Split (Ductless Split System)
Ductless Split Air Conditioner and Heat Pump products offer wide versatility in solving your cooling and heating requirements. The Indoor unit (evaporator) is mounted inside the room, and usually goes very unnoticeable. It is connected to the outdoor unit (condenser) via refrigerant lines and inter-unit wiring through a 3-1/2" opening in the wall. Since no ductwork is required, installation is simple, fast and efficient. There is no need to use up window space or cut large openings in existing walls, which could undermine the integrity of your structure, and even pose security risks. Since the Rotary compressor is located in the outdoor unit, compressor operating noise is virtually eliminated from the indoor. The indoor unit has been uniquely designed to provide Whisper Quiet operation while delivering comfort throughout the room(s). In addition, rotary compressors provide efficient, powerful cooling at the lowest noise levels in the industry.

The California Energy Commission approved this project's Application for Certification on July 17, 2002. The Commission monitors the power plant's construction, operation and eventual decommissioning through a compliance proceeding.
Committee that oversaw Original Licensing Proceeding:
Robert Pernell, Commissioner, Presiding Member
Robert A. Laurie, Commissioner, Associate Member
Hearing Officer: Cheryl Tompkin
Key Dates
- 8/16/2001 - Applicant files Application For Certification (AFC).
- 10/17/2001 - AFC determined to be "data adequate."
- 12/28/2001 - Staff Assessment of Tracy Peaker Project released.

- 7/17/2002 - Project is approved by Energy Commission.
- 6/1/2003 - Power plant on line and producing power.
GWF Energy LLC (GWF) is seeking approval of an Application for Certification from the California Energy Commission for the construction and operation of the Tracy Peaker Project. GWF proposes to build and operate the project, a nominal 169- megawatt (MW), simple-cycle power plant, on a 10.3-acre fenced site within a 40-acre parcel in an unincorporated portion of San Joaquin County.
The property is bounded by the Delta-Mendota Canal to the southwest, agricultural property to the south and east, and the Union Pacific Railroad to the north. Immediately north of the railroad are the Owens-Brockway glass container manufacturing plant and the Nutting-Rice warehouse. The Tracy Biomass power plant is approximately 0.6 miles to the northwest.
The project would consist of the power plant, an onsite 230-kilovolt (kV) switchyard, an onsite natural gas supply interconnection, an approximately 1,470-foot water supply pipeline (as measured from the fence line), and improvements to an existing dirt access road approximately one mile in length.
Energy Commission Facility Certification Process
The California Energy Commission is the lead agency (for licensing thermal power plants 50 megawatts and larger) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has a certified regulatory program under CEQA. Under its certified program, the Energy Commission is exempt from having to prepare an environmental impact report. Its certified program, however, does require environmental analysis of the project, including an analysis of alternatives and mitigation measures to minimize any significant adverse effect the project may have on the environment.

In giant "garage sale", Japan's TV giants hawk $3 billion of assets
By Tim Kelly
TOKYO (Reuters) - Panasonic Corp, Japan's struggling maker of Viera brand TVs, owns more than 10 million square meters of office and factory space, dormitories for its workers and sports facilities for its rugby, baseball and women's athletics teams.
As it battles for Christmas shoppers' wallets in the year-end holiday season, the sprawling electronics conglomerate is also seeking buyers for some of those properties to trim its fixed costs and improve cashflow at a time of intense competition, particularly from South Korean rivals such as Samsung Electronics Co.
Japan's other troubled TV makers, Sony Corp and Sharp Corp, are also selling buildings and businesses in a giant 'garage sale' that could raise a combined $3 billion.
Panasonic plans to raise $1.34 billion from offloading property and shares in other Japanese companies by end-March, the group's chief financial officer Hideaki Kawai told Reuters.
"We have a lot of land and buildings in Japan and overseas," he said in an interview at the company's head office in Osaka, in western Japan. He declined to list which properties would go on the block, but said most are in Japan.
Included is a 24-storey central Tokyo block - built in 2003 with more than 47,300 square meters and housing 2,000 Panasonic workers - a source familiar with the plan told Reuters.
Kawai added that Panasonic would raise about a quarter of the sell-off funds by getting rid of shares it owns in other companies - a common practice of cross-shareholdings in Japan.
The proceeds would help bolster free cashflow to 200 billion yen ($2.43 billion) for the business year to March, Kawai said, and allow Panasonic to reduce its debt and maintain its crucial research and development effort as it revamps its business portfolio. Continued...

About VirginiaFrom Jamestown to today, Virginia has one of the oldest histories of winemaking in the New World. The early settlers started vines from native varieties. 200 years after Jamestown, at Monticello Thomas Jefferson endlessly tried to grow vinifera grapes, but only the native varieties survived phylloxera. Even so, he was sure that wine made from these grapes would equal the finest wines of Europe, and he saw wine in his visions of yeoman virtue: "no nation is drunken where wine is cheap." Today his sentiments live on in some back labels, which proclaim that "good wine is a daily necessity for me." There are over 50 wineries in Virginia making that wine.
About Other USEvery state in the United States makes wine. That's not to say that every wine is good, nor is every wine made from grapes. Hawaii ferments pineapples, while Connecticut makes wines from their well-known berry farms. But almost every state has at least one vineyard trying to make wine from grapes. Those who are most successful, beyond California, Washington, Oregon and New York are:
VirginiaWine in Virginia has come a long way since Thomas Jefferson unsuccessfully planted vinifera grapes at his home in Monticello. Our third president, known as the first American wine connoisseur, spent a good amount of time touring vineyards in France, hoping he could replicate the vineyards in Virginia. May not have been successful 200 years ago, but today, the Commonwealth of Virginia is home to over 150 wineries.
Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon are the most widely planted white and red grapes. Other success stories include Cabernet Franc, which does very well on Virginia soil, producing wines that are ripe and round, snuffing out the vegetal tendencies of this varietal. Viognier may be the next big white, making some lovely aromatic, yet dry, white wines.
New MexicoChampagne region after all), Gruet is now a nationally recognized wine. The wines are delicious and one of the best deals in sparkling wine. The family makes a range of wines - from the ethereal and efferevesant blanc de blancs to the more full-bodied blanc-de-noir to the slightly sweet demi-sec.
New Mexico is now home to nineteen wineries. While none are as large as Gruet, more winemakers are realizing that the warm day and cool night combination in the state has great potential for great wine.Other states worth trying include North Carolina, Texas, Ohio, Idaho and Michigan.

Apartment with air conditioning, TV, internet wifi, stove, refrigerator, microwave, bed linen and bath. Close to the subway Carioca, great for tourists and executives.
Lapa is a neighbourhood in the city of Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil. It is located in the centre of Rio and is famous for its historical monuments and nightlife.
Reference point for lovers of nightlife, one of the striking features of the neighborhood is the harmony that living with the most diverse urban tribes. Since the 1950s, when it began to be called the "Montmartre Carioca", Lapa attracted intellectuals, artists, politicians and especially the people of Rio, who come together to celebrate the samba, forró, MPB (musica popular brasileira), choro and more recently, electronic music and rock.
Rio de Janeiro is Brazil's primary tourist attraction and resort. It receives the most visitors per year of any city in South America with 2.82 million international tourists a year.
While the city has in past had a thriving tourism sector, the industry entered a decline in the last quarter of the 20th century. Services for tourists were lacking at the time, and visitors frequently found themselves subjected to a hostile environment: Few workers in the commercial sector could speak any language but Portuguese, beach and city pollution was deterring holidayers, and crime against tourists was increasing.
The fact that Brasília replaced Rio de Janeiro as the Brazilian capital and São Paulo as the country's commercial center has also been cited as a leading cause of the decline. Rio de Janeiro's government has since undertaken to modernize the city's economy, reduce its chronic social inequalities, and improve its commercial standing as part of an initiative for the regeneration of the tourism industry.

Reviews for this host's other properties
A very nice appartment situated close to the Metro. The appartment is clean and well functioning.
Studio apartment that could remind you more of a hotel room than an apartment. Great location, 7 minutes walk to Arcos da Lapa, 10 minutes walk to Cinelandia Metro Station. The beds could have been better and there is no pressure in the shower. In my mind it's a bit overpriced. I reckon you will get cheaper options elsewhere.
A nice, cozy and clean apartment in amazing Lapa. We had no problem whatsoever and we enjoyed a lot our stay. Thank you!
Small apartment with a doorman always present. Complete and foremost in a great area. Shops, restaurants and above all music and pleasant at the weekend. Bus to reach the rest of Rio. Great week in Rio.
Appartamento piccolo e con portiere sempre presente. Completo di tutto e soprattutto in una ottima zona. Negozi, ristoranti e soprattutto musica ed è piacevolissimo nel fine settimana. Autobus per raggiungere qualsiasi altra zona di Rio. Ottima settimana a Rio.
I had the opportunity to meet Andrea due to start and finish times I had. Anyway I found very helpful and committed.
The apartment was as stated. It was clean with clean kitchen utililes although in the closet had a bag of wet clothes. The bathroom light did not work and the toilet cistern had to operate it with the tap because it was stuck. The air conditioning is noisy and either is not easy to configure either not cooled much, but the ceiling fan is very efficient. The block has a doorman. My general opinion is good and I recommend this accommodation.
No tuve la posibilidad de conocer a Andréa debido al horario de salida y llegada que tuve. De todas formas me parecio muy servicial y comprometida.
El apartamento era tal como se indicaba. Estaba limpio con utililes de cocina limpios aunque en el armario habia una bolsa con ropa humeda. La luz del baño no funcionaba y la cisterna del wc habia que accionarla con la llave de paso porque estaba atascada. El aire acondicionado hace mucho ruido y o bien no es fácil configurarlo o bien no enfria mucho, pero el ventilador de techo es muy eficiente. El bloque tiene portero. Mi opinion general es buena y recomiendo este alojamiento.
A little messy, really.
The TV did not work very well. Internet yes!
Un poco sucio, la verdad.
La televisión no funciona muy bien. Internet, sí!
I recommed highly this apartent to everyone!
Andrea is a very good host! My flight arrived 5am to Rio de Janeiro but no problem, she had arranged keys to the door man, so I got some sleep straight away! Same with the check out; it was no problem to stay a bit longer! :)
The studio itself is small, but very functional: you have all you need to have a comfortable stay! A wifi that works all the time, kitchenette and a huge fridge for your daily dosage of beer! ;)
It is also nicely situated in Lapa; Rua dos Invalidos isn't too busy and you have markets and bars all very close! Arcos da Lapa is some six minutes away by walking and Centro is also close! Buses to Copacabana and Ipanema are 150 metres away on Rua Riachuelo!
All together this is a very nice and preferable option to any hotel with many advantages!
I hope you enjoy your stay too!

Microscopic jellyfish could be the real culprit for the painful rash developed by some Western Bay beach-goers.
A Tauranga pharmacist put the rash down to bites from a bug dubbed the "Mount Mauler", but a bug expert suggested it was more likely to be sandflies.
In a new twist, a former public health service staff member yesterday told the Bay of Plenty Times she believed the real culprits were microscopic jellyfish called hydromedusae.
Her son came home covered in small lumps after swimming at Waihi Beach at the weekend and she recognised it from her days in the health industry.
The woman, who refused to be named, said she had been stung by the creatures while swimming on Auckland's East Coast many years ago.
"It's terrible. Really really bad. It lasts for a long time, at least a week. As soon as I saw it on my son I knew."
A fact sheet produced by the Auckland Regional Public Health Service said the rash caused by the jellyfish was known as "sea bather's eruption" and had been a common problem at Auckland beaches in recent years.
"Warm weather and onshore winds bring the tiny organisms close to the shoreline. Being microscopic and largely transparent they become trapped underneath swim wear or in peoples' hair. Generally, as the swimmer gets out of the sea, water drains from the swim wear and traps the organisms between the fabric and the skin, causing the stinging cells to release toxin into the skin."
The fact sheet warned swimmers against wearing swim wear for long periods after swimming as the organisms often became trapped and continued to sting. Rubbing them with a towel while drying and freshwater could also cause them to discharge the toxin.
Calamine lotion, mild steroid creams and antihistamine tablets could reduce the discomfort.
Toi Te Ora Public Health Service medical officer of health Dr Jim Miller said he had received no reports of bites or stings during the summer.
If such jellyfish were causing rashes the treatment suggested by the Auckland Regional Public Health Service would be the best course of action, he said.
Neither Tauranga City Council or the Bay of Plenty Regional Council had reports of hydromedusae in the area.

Anne and David Reinauer, 813 Shell Beach Drive. (Virginia Webb / Special to the American Press)
Last Modified: Friday, March 22, 2013 11:39 PM
Five houses along Shell Beach Drive comprise the 38th annual Palm Sunday Tour of Homes 1-5 p.m. Sunday, March 24.
The Shell Beach Drive area of Lake Charles has long been a showcase street for houses and a prime address for influential and prominent residents.
The Scottish Balmoral-Tudor-style Walker House at 623 Shell Beach Drive, circa 1927, makes extensive use of leaded glass, brick-and-stucco exteriors and intricate slate roofs, and is noteworthy for the use of art tiles in a Tudor-rose and eglantine tree-of-life pattern on the main facade. A distinctive feature of the house is the sweeping gable on the lake side.
In 1984 the Raggio House at 811 Shell Beach Drive, circa 1905, was purchased by Dr. and Mrs. John Raggio who pledged to return the house to its original look. They reconstructed the wooden porches, replacing the inauthentic concrete porches that had been installed in the 1930s, and removed the outside metal staircase that provided access to the apartments.
The Reinauer House at 813 Shell Beach Drive, circa 1907, was part of an early Spanish land grant, and in 1907 this particular lot was bought by John L. Farque who had the house constructed for his new bride. Sue and Jack Watson bought the property in 1969 and the current owners, the Reinauers, in 1971. The house is a type referred to as a "raised-center hall cottage" and it was constructed of long-leaf yellow pine and cypress.
The Boyer House at 823 Shell Beach Drive, circa 1947, a brick house with four columns, served the Digiglias and their children Ellie and J. W. as the family home for nearly 50 years. The elegant, understated interiors and furnishings are the work of the current owners, Claudia and James Boyer.
The original owners of the Fontenot House at 1200 Shell Beach Drive, circa 1935, called the distinctive house "Lake Haven." The house is built in the Georgian revival Tidewater style and occupies an acre lot directly on the lake. The one-and-half story red-brick structure was built for $11,400. All the wood used in the house is cypress, except for the white oak and red oak flooring throughout. The Holleyman's granddaughter, Nancy, is married to Wendell Fontenot, and they are the current owners.
Palm Sunday Tour of Homes tickets are available online from the Calcasieu Historical Preservation Society: calcasieupreservation.org. Sales outlets include Gordon's Drugstore on Lake Street and the Arts and Humanities Council office in Central School. Tickets are also available during the tour.

"It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them. And every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are." —Author unknown
On April 9, 2014, I had to say goodbye to my priceless service dog Maddie. She was loved by 99% of those who met her. For every one person that I may have made happy, Maddie made at least 1,000 more people happy.
Our story began 12 years ago when I rescued her at the age of 17 months.
Maddie came to me sight unseen. A Vizsla rescue organization in Utah put her on a plane and flew her out to me in Kansas City, Mo. Her dog crate was placed in my wheelchair van, and I drove 40 miles from the airport to my house with her gently whining. I talked softly to her and reached back every so often to stick a couple of my fingers through her carrier. As soon as we reached home, her alpha side took over and she searched the house and yard as if she was the boss. Of course, we all know she was the boss!
From that day forward, I wasn't the one rescuing her. Instead, she began almost immediately to rescue me. Her innate ability to protect me was unbelievable. She protected me not from others, but from my own illnesses or accidents. There is no space here to tell of all the ways she assisted me when I fell, or to recount the many nights she laid on top of me to help me through the severe muscle spasms that often rack my body. To say she was God's special gift to me is not a boastful claim. It is a fact.
Training her was so easy. She could learn anything within a couple of minutes. I even broke the service-dog rule of not letting anyone pet her while she was working by having a fellow employee pet her while I dropped something. Maddie, of course, at first didn't want to pick up the item while receiving attention. However, the petting stopped when she did not perform the task. After only two times of this, she learned that even if she was being petted she still had to help me if the need was there.
Last month I presented a poem by Mother Teresa called "Life." I closed my presentation with another quote from her: "Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier." Maddie did this with every person she met.
To each of you who have loved and still love your precious pets or service dogs, I wish you the joy of having their love. I hope that you will be able to look back, as I do now, knowing your heart will always belong to them, as they give theirs to you.

I'm not a tube gun expert.
My friend's MK-760 (clone of the Omega Man's SW-76) is having some feed problems.
The firing pin hits ***very deep*** when it hits, so we know the firing pin is not the problem per se. These are known for poorly built firing pins made of soft metal that peen themselves down and cause light primer strikes. When it malfunctions, there is an ever so shallow mark on the unfired round.
After doing some research, it seems that the magazine tolerance on these is VERY close to the point that the magazine feed lips may be touching the bolt sometimes, causing feed issues. I have some Suomi magazine conversions we're going to take along to see if other magazines suffer the same problem.
It was about 30 degrees outside. I'm not sure if cold cold weather can affect the performance on these tube guns... it wasn't the cleanest weapon I've ever fired... is it possible some grease was thickening up and causing the action to hang?
Curiously, the Wolf 9mm we used seems to malfunction the most. Both stovepipes and failures to fire. It seems as if the striker is not resetting. Every single one of the rounds that would not fire in the MK would fire fine out of my Uzi. So we know it is not the ammo.
When we used some reloaded 9mm, we got consistant performance with only some stovepipe issues.
Are we missing anything? I'm taking the power inverter and dremel with me to make on-the-spot mods at the range.
Based on previously published info, we're going to examine the magazine and sand those down if they are contacting the bolt.
We gave it a THOROUGH cleaning so we can rule that out completely. The blowback on this one really fouls up the magazine and chamber, more so than even my Uzi!

Grace Hammer, the debut novel by Londoner Sara Stockbridge, reads like a classic picaresque — Oliver Twist, only with Nancy as a kinder, prettier Fagan. But as you might expect from Stockbridge — who is identified as an actress, a model, and the former "muse" for fashion designer Vivienne Westwood — it's also a meditation on the commodification of beauty. Grace's assets are listed as so many options "shining like the cherry on the cake." And the ruby necklace, the centerpiece among a "parade of shining stones to shame the night sky," is described in greater detail than many of Grace's acquaintances.
Stockbridge's fascination with unbridled capitalism works perfectly in this setting. Everything — including most of the women we encounter — is for sale, or in the business of taking and selling. The Victorian underworld maintains its hold on contemporary authors. From the fantastic (Michel Faber's The Crimson Petal and the White) to the anthemic (Sarah Waters's lesbian take on Oliver Twist, Fingersmith), there's something about this period. Sometimes it's our collective memory of Dickens, or our love-hate relationship with that era's strict class stratifications. In Grace's world, we also get the immediacy of life without safety nets. Although the Ripper killings are the talk of the town, death has always been common here. "He took to smoking opium," we hear of one character. "After a week he had become the colour of Limehouse itself, forgetting a little more each day about the world above." Grace herself is in grave danger, fleeing the brutal Horatio Blunt. And as the book comes to a crisis, she considers another life, one that would entail her cashing out, so to speak.
Not that Stockbridge gets hung up on theory. She has a fast, easy prose style spiced with enough unsavory details — the killings, the poverty — to place her characters, even as she backtracks to provide history. Nothing in this world is pleasant. In fact, Grace's resolution, when it finally comes, is a little too easy. She and her children have been threatened, and their home has been vandalized, but it's the murder of an acquaintance that does it. "Grace cursed herself for her weakness, the glitter in her stupid eyes. . . . The ruby was a useless trophy." The reader may have reached this conclusion several bodies earlier, but Stockbridge gives us no sense of growing enlightenment, no cumulative awareness, in this muddy, muddled world.

I had to go to Edinburgh at short notice, arriving on a (very!) late flight and was looking for somewhere to stay relatively close to the airport and on a bus route in to town for the next day. Juliet's place was a great find and communication with her via the Wimdu site/mail was really easy. She responded very quickly to my questions.
Unfortunately my flight was delayed and it was after 1 a.m. before I got to the house but Juliet stayed up to let me in and show me the room. It was great to see her waving out of the window when I got out of the taxi and knowing I didn't need to ring the bell or call her and waken the whole household! At that time of night/morning I paid GBP 16 (including small tip) for a taxi from the airport to the house - about a 15 minute journey.
Breakfast the next morning was very much to my taste and the time I showed up to have it was totally up to me which was great. I slept well. The rooms are to the back of the house and there is no street noise. I was also lucky that there was no-one in the other room so no noise from there and I had the bathroom to myself.
The second morning I had to leave quite early to get to the airport. I opted to take the 41 bus in to town and then change to the tram on Princes Street. This worked well and the totally journey quite early on a Saturday morning took just under an hour and cost GBP 1.60 for the bus plus GBP 5.50 for the tram. Make sure you have plenty of coins for public transport!! Even the super new tram ticket machines do not take notes - only coins or credit cards. Juliet recommended changing notes in the branch of Tesco right next to the house. This worked well. The guy even asked if I was changing for bus fares and gave me exactly the coins I needed!
It is definitely worth the short walk from the house to Lauriston Castle. The grounds are free of charge (open until 8 p.m. - at least in June) and the view of the Firth is really lovely.
In summary: great location with good infrastructure round about, quiet room, friendly/accommodating hostess, Definitely to be recommended! Thanks, Juliet!
For a travelling granny who fetched up in a strange city, arriving at Juliet's home was marvellous. Warmth, interest and plenty of information was always available. I was welcomed into the heart of the family - the kitchen - and felt quite at home.
Thank you Juliet and Ian for a very successful few nights stay with you both.
Wonderful stay in Edinburgh! Juliet gave us a perfect start in Scotland, very warm welcome, nice room and great breakfast.

Hi foalks,Juliet,
what to write here,I gave it a serious thought but I don't really know.
The bed&bathroom were excellent but allthough I tried,I missed the warmth of your family,I got the impression that what I saw on your profilepicture,the smiling Juliet,whas long gone.
Take care Juliet. I know you've got a good heart!
And thanks for helping me out,again.
Morad. A. Macherhi
From the moment we arrived, a welcome cup of tea, up to our check out 5 days later, when they called a taxi for us, everything was great.
A very much family run guest house we were made very welcome by the host family. The rooms were nicely decorated and clean with very comfortable beds (especially after a long day sightseeing). Although on a fairly busy road the rooms were quiet.
Easy travel into Edinburgh, a vibrant city with plenty to see and do and at all the places of interest we visited the personnel were smart, friendly and helpful.
We would certainly recommend this guest house
Had a delightful stay with Juliet and her family. Accommodations were very comfortable, clean, and welcoming. I hope to see them sometime in the future and would definitely stay with them again!
Juliet's house is amazing! She and her husband were very kind and helpful and the rooms were very clean und looked great! We really enjoyed our stay there!

Vogue's Depiction of Female Athletes? Last Place

The June cover of Vogue, featuring Team USA, has been compared to a scene from the popular TV show, Baywatch. Somehow, even to a mainly female audience, the women athletes in Vogue aren't given the chance to pose as the powerful athletes they are, but are toned down to conform to harmless stereotypes.

Well, its now just me on my lonesome after waving Amber off at Lima airport. My first task was to get to San Diego via two flights, firstly from Lima to Mexico City, then to Tijuana before getting a bus across the boarder. It was all going swimmingly until I got to Tijuana.... The bus was 12 dollars and I had 11.... The price had gone up since my guide book was published and Lima airport had stolen most of my dollars in a last minute airport tax... Therefore, I had to get some Mexican Spodoolies and get them changed, all without Amber's trusty Spanish!!! The phase book was dusted off and I managed it with lots of arm waving and English words with "o" stuck at the end.... Spanish really isn't my strong point!
A promise of "we leave in 5 minutes" later from the driver and I was on the bus....
San Diego is VERY American! The culture stock was VERY amusing... From waiters, "looking after me today", to overly friendly randoms walking up to me in the street and wanting to know my life storey, to Adult Porn shops being called, "San Diego Adult Material and Culture for Your Well Being" across the road from the Pizza place in which I was having my first meal since Lima...
I am in a 4 bed dorm and the people I am with are well worth a mention! There is a Japanise Judo instructor, an OAP from Mexico with back spazams (I heard all about them in detail...), and best of all, an American/Chinese Feng Shui Master
Went to San Deigo Zoo by the way! Pictures will be added soon when I get to a computer that lets me. It was really an excellent zoo with loads of endangered animals set in a beautiful park. There was a quote on one of the exibits which stated, "Once the last animal in a species dies, it would take another Earth and another Heaven before that animal will have a chance to live again." A cool quote..... especially after you have spent the day looking at 50+ species of endangered animals.
Enough for now... I will be updating this travel blog periodically but not necessarily sending out an e-mail, so if you are interested, please keep checking the link!!
Yours, in search of Scalley!

Story highlights
- First giant panda born on Taiwan unveiled to public at six months old
- 10,000 visitors queue to catch glimpse of baby bear Yuan Zai
- Panda species, endemic to Sichuan province, is endangered in wild
A chorus of "oohs," "ahs" and "I want ones" sounded from Taiwan Monday as the first giant panda to be born on the island, the six-month-old cub Yuan Zai, was unveiled to the public at Taipei Zoo.
Conceived via artificial insemination, the bear was delivered on July 7 last year.
Around 10,000 people lined up to see Yuan Zai Monday, the zoo said, some arriving hours before opening time.
Hundreds watched Yuan Zai's first appearance as she showed off her climbing skills on logs and trees, before crawling off to nap with her mother.
Visitors are to be capped at just under 20,000 people a day.
Panda fever
The birth of Yuan Zai, which means both "child of Yuan Yuan" and "rice ball," sparked panda fever on Taiwan.
The bear already has her own YouTube channel, documenting her cutest moments.
Yuan Zai is expected to generate NT$500 million ($16.6 million) through commercial opportunities within the next six months, the Taipei City government said.
The cub's mother, Yuan Yuan, and her mate, Tuan Tuan, were given to Taiwan by China in 2008.
Their names combined mean "reunion" in Chinese.

Chronicle of Higher Education: Chronic Soapbox for Smears Against Climate Scientists
Guest | September 17, 2012
By Guest • Monday, September 17, 2012 - 03:00
This is a guest post by Prof. Scott Mandia, Professor of Earth and Space Sciences and Assistant Chair of the Physical Sciences Department at Suffolk County Community College, Long Island, New York, USA.
In July, 2012, The Chronicle of Higher Education (CHE) allowed one if its bloggers, Peter Wood, to equate the Jerry Sandusky child sex scandal to the email investigation conducted by Penn State of noted climate scientist Dr. Michael E. Mann. I, along with many others, sent letters to CHE requesting a retraction and public apology.
Several of those letters appear below with permission from the authors to repost here:
Dear Dr. Semas,
Why has Chronicle of Higher Education (CHE) allowed one of its bloggers, Peter Wood, to smear noted climate scientist Dr. Michael E. Mann? Woods' latest post, "A Culture of Evasion", quite inappropriately compares Penn State's handling of the Jerry Sandusky child rape case with that of its investigation of stolen emails that included messages from Dr. Mann. (Previous posts by Wood also maligning Dr. Mann include "Bottling Up Global Warming Skepticism" and "Climate Thuggery".) Multiple international investigations, including one from the National Science Foundation, have carefully reviewed Dr. Mann's email messages and have found no misconduct whatsoever. (For more on these investigations see http://bit.ly/hxdKKJ)

The villa is located in an exceptional area, at the base of Puig Tomir, one of the highest peaks in Mallorca and located in the natural area known as Serra de Tramuntana, which was proclaimed World Heritage by Unesco.
Moreover, the area is very quiet, in between the mountains, and it is the perfect place for adventure lovers that want to spend their times hiking, cycling, etc. all year long.
Pollença is just 6 km far away and is one of the most beautiful villages in northern Mallorca. It was one of the favorite places for painters and artists to settle in the island. Pollença invites you enjoying summer nights with its history, narrow streets and old traditions, there are also concerts around town, art exhibitions, bars, shops and restaurants in the main square with open air terraces that are always bustling.
The most well-known sightseeing spots in Pollença are the roman bridge and the Calvari, which is a tiny church on the top of a hill in the middle of Pollença. You have to climb up 365 steps to get there but the views are really worth it!
In a 10 minute drive you can quickly get to the beaches of Port de Pollença, Cala Sant Vicens and Formentor. All those are fine grained sand beaches with crystal clear waters and not really deep waters, what make them perfect for children. You can also join many sports and activities such as sailing, kayaking, diving or fishing.

In the sea promenade you can delight yourself with the wonderful views from the bay while having a drink in one of the many cafes or restaurants you can find there.

It also counts with a restaurant where the non-golfers are also welcome and a swimming pool. There is also a golf teacher who organizes classes and tournaments regularly.
The house is close to the road that crosses the Serra de Tramuntana and from which you have astonishing views from the mountains and the sea. Trough this road you can get to the Monastery of Lluc, Fornalutx, Deià, Sóller and Valldemossa.
This house offers a home away from home, with a rustic flair but very cozy at the same time in one of the nicest and most peaceful zones of Mallorca. Don't spend your holidays anywhere - make your holidays an unforgettable experience!

great pictures
The pic of the solo bee on the old hive with the nail is a gem!
They look as poor as my hives.
Thanks for the compliments everyone! Yes, these hives are pretty rough. I got them from an old field where they sat for years and years. I hope I can fix em up a bit this year sometime.
Very nice pics. What camera did you use? Glue, nails and clamps should be all those hives need. That and a good coat of paint. lol
Very nice pictures!
If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
Thanks! I used a Canon Rebel XTi with the standard 55mm lens. I had to crop most of the closeups.
The combs look empty of honey. Are your bees able to go out and collect nectar and pollen in your area now?

Rihanna - Te Amo (new video!)
Rihanna just debuted a new video for Rockstar 101 earlier this week...but who really gives two ishes now that the clip of Te Amo is out. Word to the wise, if you are at work and your officemates disapprove of steamy and suggestive actions of the RiRi-on-Girl variety, then I suggest closing your door before clicking play. Y'all been warned.
This is a fan favorite on her latest album, Rated R, and while Rihanna is still touring in support of the effort, she's also dropping many a hints that her next offering (which she's working on now) is going to be her best music to date. That remains to be seen and heard.
In the meantime, get sexy by watching the Barbadian beastly-beauty and co-star Laeticia Casta in the Anthony Mandler-directed video below.
Sure this whole act isn't unique, but wowza...girl crush confirmed, eh?

Businesses affected by Royal Gorge delays
CANON CITY, Colo. - Royal Gorge Park brings in more than $10 million to Canon City every year, but when the wildlife hit the famous park, businesses felt the impact.
Andy Neias' rafting company is one of the businesses that is affected.
"I think anybody who would tell you different isn't too in touch with their business," Neias said.
Visitors encounter closed signs when they reach Royal Gorge, not only does those signs hurt businesses around the park, but also in Canon City.
Jonas Hutchinson is a computer store owner. He lost customers because of the fire, and even though business is picking up, he feels when the park opens again, he will be busy.
"We are more likely to get our revenue back," Hutchinson said.
Canon City Council met Wednesday night to review a proposal to reconstruct Royal Gorge Park.
They hope to open by May or June, but until then city City Council is asking for people to be patient.
"We're positive and we feel we can get through this pretty quickly and that we will be going full steam ahead," Council Member Kevin Ditmore said.
Neias feels when the park opens it will be like a phoenix rising from the ashes, which is optimism shared every time a person drives to the park.
City Council will come to a decision on the updated proposal Nov. 4.

Boswell, Peter. "Bruce Conner." In Bits & Pieces Put Together to Present a Semblance of a Whole: Walker Art Center Collections, edited by Joan Rothfuss and Elizabeth Carpenter. Minneapolis, MN: Walker Art Center, 2005.
© 2005 Walker Art Center
Over the course of his fifty-year career, Bruce Conner has been something of an artistic chameleon, working in sculpture, film, collage, painting, photography, printmaking, performance, and conceptual art. He has courted diversity and unpredictability to the point where he has seemingly made an art out of elusiveness, abandoning a given type or style of work whenever he felt he was becoming too closely identified with it. As a result he has gained a fractured following. Devotees of his experimental films of the 1960s and 1970s might be totally unaware of the nylon-shrouded assemblages that were the springboard for his success in the art world in the 1950s and early 1960s, and vice versa. Younger viewers might be familiar only with the intricate Rorschach-like drawings of the 1980s and 1990s.
The Walker Art Center's 1999 exhibition 2000 BC: THE BRUCE CONNER STORY PART II, which looked at Conner's lifetime achievement through the lens of its relation to his films, did much to increase awareness of the full breadth of his accomplishment, though its protean diversity still resists easy understanding. Both in the course of organizing that show and in its wake, the Walker has assembled the largest and most significant grouping of Conner's work outside of the artist's own studio.
For all its diversity, there are several consistent threads that run through much of Conner's work. The most important of these is the conception of the artwork as subject to renewal and redefinition each time it is viewed, almost as if it were a living being continually regenerating and metamorphosing. By and large, he achieves this through a kind of optical overload, a high-density presentation that results in a tug-of-war between the detail and the whole. No matter how many times one views a typical Conner work—be it an assemblage, drawing, movie, or collage—it typically resists full resolution. There is always something that changes—perhaps a detail never noticed before, perhaps a visual effect based on the optical phenomenon of "persistence of vision"—that keeps it uncertain and alive. In this sense, his individual artworks share something in common with his career as a whole.
Conner was born in McPherson, Kansas, in 1933, and grew up in Wichita. In 1957, shortly after graduating from the University of Nebraska, he moved to San Francisco at the urging of his high-school friend Michael McClure, who had moved there earlier in the decade and become a key figure in the celebrated San Francisco Poetry Renaissance. There Conner quickly fell in with a vibrant group of artists that included Wallace Berman, Joan Brown, Jay DeFeo, Wally Hedrick, George Herms, and Jess, many of whom worked or experimented in a mixed-media style that came to be called "assemblage."1
Although he had worked in collage prior to his move, it was in San Francisco that Conner began working in the assemblage style that first brought him to national and international attention. The key work in this regard is his monumental two-sided collage UNTITLED (1954–1961). The "front" side was begun and largely completed while Conner was still an undergraduate at the University of Nebraska. Its scuffed, brown-toned surface is made from distressed cardboard and scraps of wood. A pair of collaged cardboard circles punctuates the composition, along with two rectangles made from a flattened metal can and a piece of metal screening tacked to a wooden framework. The use of scrap materials and the carefully balanced, abstract composition recall the work of German Dadaist Kurt Schwitters. The "back" side of the collage developed over time. Conner noticed that works of art often accumulated labels as a result of changing ownership or inclusion in exhibitions, and that this history embodied a form of art-world validation: "So I started clipping out seals like Good Housekeeping and Parents' Magazine seals, Chick Sexing Association seals, all sorts of things, and started sticking them on the back."2 Over time, this side of the work became a dense collage of papers that included labels reading "Warning: You are in Great Danger" and "Fragile," an "Ez for Prez" sticker (from when Conner ran his own "Ezra Pound for president" campaign in 1956), images from movie and science-fiction magazines, pictures of nudes from stag magazines, reproductions of artworks featuring women in varying degrees of undress (ranging from Boucher's Bath of Venus to Brancusi's abstract Eve), photographs of Marcel Duchamp and James Joyce, and much more. In time, Conner came to view the disparity between the harmonious, almost classical "front" side of UNTITLED and the visually cacophonous "back" side as emblematic of the contrast between a person's proper, composed "public" face and his private, subconscious being.
Conner's first true assemblage, RATBASTARD (1958), has a similarly hybrid history. It began as a thickly impastoed, vaguely flesh-toned painting, which, in a fit of frustration, the artist sliced and gouged. Intrigued by its injured condition, he then ran a thick steel wire through the various wounds, added collage elements—including a photo of people viewing a cadaver on a table and an illustration of a medieval torture scene—swathed the work in nylon (attractive because of its capacity to both reveal and conceal, nylon became a staple of many of his assemblages), and pierced it with nails. As a final touch, he added a cloth "handle," so that he could carry it as a portable emblem of psychic distress and alienation. It became the first of a series of "Rat" pieces—including RATBASTARD 2 (1958), also in the Walker's collection—that served as testaments to the alienation of the circle of artists and poets whose company he kept.
Other assemblages attest to Conner's lifelong love of movies. THE BRIDE (1960), one of his few freestand-ing sculptures, features a wooden armature swathed in white-painted nylon and topped with candles whose melted wax has dripped down over it. As Conner was making the piece, it reminded him of the figure of Miss Havisham, the aging spinster and jilted bride whose accidental self-immolation is the climax of David Lean's 1946 film version of Charles Dickens' Great Expectations. SON OF THE SHEIK (1963) presents a tongue-in-cheek homage to the androgynous appeal of silent-film heartthrob Rudolph Valentino.
Much of Conner's own reputation rests on the influence of his films of the late 1950s and 1960s, such as A MOVIE (1958), COSMIC RAY (1961), and REPORT (1963–1967), which were made from scraps of found footage edited together to create dense, ambiguous narratives. Echoes of each of these are to be found in artworks in the Walker's collection. The back of UNTITLED is like a two-dimensional equivalent to the contemporaneous, groundbreaking A MOVIE, a cinematically dense, twelve-minute compilation of brief film clips whose emotional impact moves from the comic to the tragic to the sublime. Included in it are segments from a stag film, the Hindenburg disaster, and an atomic bomb blast that all directly echo images in UNTITLED.
The Walker's collection also includes a collage made from a series of filmstrips that make up the complete 1961 film COSMIC RAY, sandwiched between two sheets of plexiglass. This presentation, created for the Walker's 1999 exhibition of his work, allows viewers to experience in a different form the remarkable interplay between dark and light that lies at the heart of the film. It also enables them to experience it in material form, much as Conner did when he made it, splicing the strips together in his home editing room.
Lastly, Conner's TELEVISION ASSASSINATION (1963–1964/1975) is a three-dimensional sculpture/installation that, like his film REPORT, takes as its subject the events surrounding the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy. But while REPORT is made from spliced strips of film documenting media reports of the tragedy, TELEVISION ASSASSINATION deals with another shooting that was actually caught on live TV: Jack Ruby's murder of Lee Harvey Oswald. Conner first issued the footage, all of which was filmed directly off his television set in the days after the Kennedy-Oswald killings, as an 8mm film in 1964. In 1975, he created the installation piece by projecting the film onto the screen of a nonfunctioning sixties-era television, thereby returning the images to their original source.
Conner's involvement with film, which he produced mostly in black and white, influenced much of his nonfilmic work from the mid-1960s to the present. Many of these later works—principally collages, drawings, and photographs—explore visual effects of black and white in terms of darkness and light. The Walker holds a number of pieces from this period, including a full set of offset lithographs (1970–1971) and all three volumes of his photoetched collages THE DENNIS HOPPER ONE MAN SHOW (1970–1973).
Also in the Walker's collection are two examples—ANGEL and NIGHT ANGEL—from the series of ANGEL photograms Conner created in 1974 and 1975. In a dark room, the artist affixed long sheets of light-sensitive photographic paper to the wall. He then stood before the wall while an assistant, Edmund Shea, turned on a slide projector. When the paper was developed, it turned black wherever the light had struck it; the areas where the light had been blocked by Conner's body remained white. By exposing the paper to light for different amounts of time, he could get effects that ranged from pure white silhouettes to grayed silhouettes with white highlights to constellations of white points in a black field that can hardly be identified as representing the human figure. In these works, the artist's body is dematerialized into pure light, hence the series title.
Throughout his career, Conner has made liberal use of unorthodox materials—everything from shredded nylon to filmstrips to felt-tip pens. In 1974 he pushed the envelope even further, using the legal requirements of California's education system as the subject and medium for one of his artworks. Hired to teach an art course at San Jose State University, he was required by state law to submit his fingerprints to university authorities. At first, Conner balked. By this time, issues of identity and authorship had become an integral part of a number of works. At various times in his career, he had either not signed his works or had inscribed his name in such a crude fashion that the identity of the creator was thrown into question. In 1965, when invited to make prints at the Tamarind Lithography Workshop, he initially refused to sign the finished works. When Tamarind's management complained that unsigned prints would have no value beyond the paper and materials used to make them, Conner compromised by "signing" them with his fingerprint, a sly poke at the printmaking taboo against getting dirty fingerprints on a plate or print. When San Jose State demanded a set of his fingerprints, he cited the Tamarind incident as evidence that his fingerprint had commercial value. In the end, the artist turned an unwelcome demand into a creative opportunity: he had a set of "limited edition" fingerprints made at the Palo Alto Police Department, on official police forms, one of which went to the university. The remainders were incorporated into a multiple called PRINTS (1974), in which the forms, along with an assortment of photographs and photocopied documents relating to the San Jose State incident, were enclosed within a steel lockbox.
William Seitz, curator at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, gave currency to the term "assemblage," which had been coined in the early 1950s by French artist Jean Dubuffet, when he titled a major 1961 exhibition examining the recent proliferation of mixed-media work The Art of Assemblage. Conner himself has never been comfortable with the term, preferring to refer to his found-object works as "collages," "reliefs," and "sculptures." ↩

I dont think Romo is better then Eli but he is still better then at least 20 starters in the NFL.I think a change of scenery would be good for him
Romo's biggest issue is he plays for JJ.
As long as JJ is the meddling owner that team is going no where as far as championships are concerned.
"Measure Twice......Cut Once"
You couldn't be more full of **** if you were break dancing in a Port-a-Potty.......Kruunch
If the Cowboys let go of Romo and he went to the AFC, I think I'd cheer for him just to spite the Cowboys. How awesome would it be if they cut Romo and he went to Oakland and won a Super Bowl. I think I'd probably be pretty happy laughing at all the cowpuke fans.
Spin that Webb young Davis
Romo is better at Losing than Eli ! He's use to it !
It's Time to show the Cowboys , How the Giants win Super Bowls !

Tony is so great but he cant start a flooded lawn mower by staring at it....only ELI can do THAT! HA!

Congratulations! Enjoy your 1st.
Went down to the local outfitter and put half down on a XD 9mm Compact. Couldn't find the sub but handled this one for a bit in store and cant wait to pick it up. I will take her home Friday once I get paid. I got an email this morning that they got one in and had to run and get it held for me. Cant find too many XDs around here with the XDM out now let alone a 9. They were non-existent here in VA. Got it for 530$ with all the goodies. Friday couldn't come soon enough.... Might tack on a few boxes of blazer brass and a small box of hollows. They had a really cheap brand Magnem something or others. Would you all fire that junk threw your XDs? Just for practice and all I wouldn't think it would matter. Thanks for the help in making my decision guys. Let you know how it all turns out, and Ill post some pics.
congragulations! just to clarify though! there is no such thing as a "compact" 9mm xd! you bought either the subcompact or the service model. the only "compact" xd offered is the .45 acp in the compact service and compact tactical.
Went and picked the XD9 up today. Came with 2 16 round mags the usual holster set. Took her to the local gun club and banged threw 100 rounds. I could have gone all day. For my first time shooting a handgun it felt smooth and easy to group bullets in close proximity. I'm by no means great but unless I pulled a few in a row I hit what I was aiming at. Shot targets at 15, 25, 34, and 40 feet just to get ideas of what I could do. Had so much fun. My boy let me fire his glock. It's a 45. Felt good too. A hell of a kick I must say..I am really happy with my purchase. Going to clean her out here in a bit. Waiting for everyone to go to bed. I will post pics up after while too. Thanks again to everyone who gave their 2 cents and helped my pick a keeper.

He will be a beast and a thorn in Bama's side for years to come.
maybe he's just having a little ceremony or something since he doesn't get a real NSD party.
Arvia: Crete-Monee wants what Lemont has
Whoever said "A picture is worth 1,000 words," never saw one of mine.
Yet, with this column I include what I like to call my "Portrait of Four Teens Who Don't Find Me Amusing" not for the thousand yawns it conveys, but for a few genial words uttered before the photo was snapped.
Ethan Pocic, the behemoth at the right, extended a giant paw toward Laquon Treadwell, the bundle of fast-twitch sinew on the left, and said, "Hey, when are you going to declare for LSU?"
As he shook Pocic's hand, I didn't catch Treadwell's response — he's a bit of a soft talker. But his destination (and LSU isn't, he said later, among his final five choices) isn't as important as the respect shown toward each other by the two blue-chippers.
Next year, Pocic, an offensive lineman, will be at Louisiana State. Treadwell, by wide acclaim the best undeclared wide receiver in the country, will be at some other institution whose games end up on network television.
But Saturday night, they'll both be in Lemont, when Treadwell's Crete-Monee squad meets Pocic's Lemont Indians in a Class 6A football playoff semifinal.
Definitely one of my favorite recruits of this class
Lewis Neal will be a two-time All SEC DE when all is said and done
