Remember the environment? This newspaper does. The Prime Minister, on the other hand, seems to have forgotten his promise after the election to lead "the greenest government ever". There is an obvious explanation for his early onset amnesia, which is that the voters have become markedly less willing to make personal sacrifices for the sake of a distant, global objective in times of economic stringency. But that is precisely the kind of opportunism to which we feared that David Cameron was prey when he posed on a sled in the Arctic or insisted that the recession made it more important that he stuck to his green message, not less.
He talked a good green game in opposition, but so far his main claim to environmental credentials in government consists of not doing something – cancelling the third runway at Heathrow. And it could give an unfortunate impression that one of the few announcements by a Conservative minister in the Government was Caroline Spelman's policy of helping the country to adapt to climate change rather than trying to stop it. It is actually a sensible policy, given the amount of warming that is already in the global climate system. But we must press ahead with mitigation at the same time as adaptation, in the jargon of policy-makers.
It has been left to Chris Huhne, the Liberal Democrat Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, to push ahead with bringing some economic rigour to Britain's planning for its own low-carbon future. This he has done with some skill. Last month The Independent on Sunday reported that he had dropped the plan for a tidal barrage across the Severn; its electricity would have been simply too expensive compared with other forms of renewable energy. Hard-headed green economics – one of Mr Huhne's Mastermind special subjects – dictates that nuclear power, clean coal and wind farms should form the core of future electricity generation.
Mr Huhne also represents the nation at the Cancun summit, which starts tomorrow, about which he writes today. In effect, his message is that we should not expect much of this latest stop of the caravan of climate-change summitry, as it lumbers from Rio 1992 via Kyoto 1997 and Copenhagen last year, but that the momentum will take us to the promised land eventually. Well, it is telling how an impatient idealist who would have castigated ministers for such a plea for "a little time" turns to such language when he becomes a minister himself. But that is politics, and Mr Huhne is one of the more capable ministers when it comes to negotiating complex global agreements.
However, his article raises wider issues about the climate change agenda. It is not, as we have pointed out before, simply a narrow matter of energy policy. The obstacle to a bold low-carbon energy policy, for example, is ultimately the question of fairness, in that low-income households will have to pay more for their energy. That requires the Treasury to be involved. And the point about climate-change summits, as Gordon Brown learnt at Copenhagen, is that, after decades in which the United States was the villain of the piece, China is the main holdout against a legally binding global treaty now.
Realistically, British influence on the closed Chinese political system is limited, even as part of the European Union. But the point is that for Britain to have a chance of any role whatsoever on the world stage, action on climate change must be pressed by the Foreign Secretary and Prime Minister. Yet on the multi-ministerial visit-cum-trade mission to Beijing earlier this month, it cannot be said that climate change was at the forefront of the British pitch.
Mr Huhne is doing good and important work, but until a sense of green purpose is rediscovered at prime ministerial level, the Government will play no more than the role of a well-informed facilitator in international talks. For that, we need to look to Mr Cameron and his deputy, Nick Clegg, another politician who talked a green game in opposition, but whose interest in the issue in office has not been easily discernible by the naked eye.
If the Liberal Democrats are agonising about their party's purpose, after all the compromises required by coalition politics, they could do worse than to see their role as being to keep the Government honest on the green agenda over the coming years.

So apparently OpLastResort continues in honor of Aaron Swartz.

The investigation appears to have been 3 phone calls and a web search.

Georgia proposes repealing the 17th amendment (Direct Election of Senators). Interesting question, The way things were originally set up the House represented the people, the Senate represented the states and the Executive branch represented the federal government. That model was broken with the 17th amendment. I'm not sure it can be restored (and honestly while I am an originalist / intentionalist I'm not sure that it should be the Senate was much more corrupt under the 17th amendment than now). The biggest issue I see with trying to restore it, other than resistance from voters, is that too many federal rights have been incorporated down to the state level for it to be a meaningful act and the only way around that would be to reverse the incorporation of those rights. I would rather have the guarantee of free speech at both the federal and state level that senators elected by state legislatures.
And now just because I know it's your favorite:

Robert Pattinson no more the 'Sexiest Man Alive'
Written by: Sampurn Wire
Subscribe to Filmibeat
Ryan Reynolds who? The husband of Scarlett Johansson and 'The Proposal" star who is neither a vampire nor a 'Twilight' actor. Though, Ryan has some inherent qualities like an amazing sense of humour and a brawny body, he is certainly no match for Robert. Or is he?
Fans of Robert Pattinson have vehemently protested against Reynolds being named the sexiest. After all, as long as Robert is alive, that title should belong to him and to no one else.
But Ryan, too, has his charisma. He has a gifted personality and a booming career and a beautiful wife to boast of. But then again, his fan following is too meagre in comparison to Robert and Ryan"s sex appeal seems threadbare when pitted against Robert"s.

Bio and Links
I have spent the last 20 years researching my and my late husbands families. The Last 10 almost full time. I am rearching, Armstrong, Ladd, Moody, Lapsley, Lyon, Stewart, Wilson, Lackey, Calhoun, Irwin, Woodward to name a few. I add the family photos to share with family but if you are going to add them to other websites I would appreciate original credit. Please do not add cemetery photos to my memorials, I think the space is better suited to other things. If you have a better tombstone photo please add it. Do not add generic photos of tombstones, again the space is better spent elsewhere.
If anyone can add anything to what I have, I always apprectate help.

Lackey family
My name is Larry Joe Lackey. I was given up at birth to (Bill) William Melvin Lackey Jr and his wife Betty Lewis. I was raised by Bill & Betty Lackey. When I began to start working on my family trees, some of my Lackey cousins wanted to know some about the Lackey family. So I also started working on the Lackey family tree for them. I might can help you with some of your relatives. My grand parents were William Melvin Lackey and Gracie Eddins. He was a sawmill worker and moved around a lot. Steven Lee Lackey Sr was a brother to my grand father.

Rachel Elizabeth Wisdom Holt
Good morning,
I am researching my wife's family, and her Great Grandmother was Rachel Elizabeth Wisdom Holt. She was the sister of James Floyd Wisdom, Sr. Find A Grave Memorial #36373280.
I see that you created the memorial for James Floyd Wisdom. I was wondering if you could tell me what happened to Rachel Elizabeth Wisdom Holt.
I have the 1900 census where she was listed as a 16 year old girl. I also have the 1910 census which listed her as a 26 year old widow. The 1910 census also lists Floyd as her brother.
Do you have any info on this family?
If you do, and you would like to share it, please call me at (501)-520-4418, or by return message.
Thank you.

Ulrich Loses To Addabbo 53-47
With much of his core constituency wiped out and scattered to the four winds, City Councilman Eric Ulrich lost a tight race for the State Senate 53 to 47 percent to incumbent Joseph P. Addabbo Jr. on Tuesday.
In his primary election in September against Juan Reyes, Ulrich won Rockaway Park, Neponsit, Breezy Point and Broad Channel with 80 percent of more. Those communities were decimated by Superstorm Sandy, however, and residents who wanted to vote from the west end of Rockaway and Broad Channel had to travel to the Scholars' Academy on Beach 104 Street to vote in tents in the school yard. Many had no car or gas and had evacuated the peninsula and could not vote.
Ulrich will retain his seat in the City Council.

Did You Know?
Incandescent came into the English language toward the end of the 18th century, at a time when scientific experiments involving heat and light were being conducted on an increasingly frequent basis. An object that glowed at a high temperature (such as a piece of coal) was "incandescent." By the mid-1800s, the incandescent lamp - a.k.a. the "lightbulb" - had been invented; it contains a filament which gives off light when heated by an electric current. "Incandescent" is the modern offspring of a much older parent, the Latin verb candēre, meaning "to glow." Centuries earlier, the word for another source of light, "candle," was also derived from "candēre."
Origin and Etymology of incandescent
probably from French, from Latin incandescent-, incandescens, present participle of incandescere to become hot, from in- + candescere to become hot, from candēre to glow — more at candid

Great for mixed race kids hair
My son's mixed race, after staring to use this shampoo his hair and his curls are definitely better shaped.
Not for me
Posted by Reviewer2446437 on May 30, 2012 | Verified Purchase
Definitely not the right product for me. I have thin, wavy hair and this product made it even thinner, drier, lifeless even. I guess if it was meant to "tame" curls it wasn't going to "liven up" my waves, so I guess I just ordered the wrong product. Sorry that I can't give a better review!
You Get What You Pay For
Posted by Reviewer2807620 on May 03, 2012 | Verified Purchase
This shampoo strips you hair completely. I have baby fine hair and this product makes it feel coarse after washing. Following this with the Leave-in Conditioner leaves my hair greasy and weighed down. I can't believe this is a baby shampoo.
Great product for the whole family
Posted by Reviewer1324557 on Jan 11, 2012 | Verified Purchase
I originally bought this for my sons curly hair, along with the Leave-In Detangler. It worked great!! Then I noticed the bottle was going down and realized that my husband was using it too. He really likes it and it doesn't weigh his hair down. When I use it, it leaves my extremely curly hair VERY SOFT and I rarely have to use spray gel to keep the frizz down. Really love this stuff!!!!
Will buy again

This shampoo is very gentle on my breakage prone hair, but leaves it feeling clean and fresh.

AND it smells like Mango pudding!

Chicken, Rice & Veggies Recipe for Cats & Dogs
COOK 2 cups of boneless chicken breast well. (if there is a little juice from chicken fat after cooking save 1 Teaspoon of it.)
Grind COOKED chicken breast.
COOK 1 1/2 Cups or 2 Cups of PLAIN BROWN RICE.
Steam 1/4th cup of minced or or chopped Peas. Cooked fresh (not from a can if you can get them other wise.)
After all are cooked put the Chicken and Brown Rice together in a Blender and blend well. (Do not blend peas with those two.)
If peas or minced or blended separate make sure they are small parts and not whole. Then put the peas over the chicken and rice. (You can mix it or stir it all together a little to make it more appealing to your cat.) If you have a teaspoon of the fat juices the chicken was cooked it you can pour that over the meal as a safe type of gravy for your cat.
Obviously make sure it is not too hot when your serving your pet her healthy gourmet pet food meal.
This meal will be simple and worth the effort. It is said to be a very tasty and healthy meal with nutritional values your pet needs.
I have a new cat food recipes and new dog food recipes section now for free Safe and Healthy Pet food ideas and recipe's online. Feel free to print them up and book mark the site for the new recipes as they come. I will be working on several different recipe's for pets to put together a pretty good size section here for Free Healthy & Safe Pet Food Recipes. Keep in mind this section of the website is totally free and here to help your pets. I only hope you enjoy being your pets chief and cooking for them as much as they will enjoy your making their homemade pet food meals. Remember it is always a privilege and honor to be allowed to have pets that we can love and care for. Check the links on my site often for more free pet food recipe's
Keep in mind cats have corn and peas also adding in their pet foods with the meats. If you make their meals proper and make sure they have everything they need for complete nutrition your cat can have homemade pet foods and meals and be even healthier than if they were to eat only the store bought foods ect.
Pets are like people and some of them have pet allergies to things ect. This is advise on things that you can try for your pet to keep them on safe foods and keep them healthy and happy. These are tips and ideas on things to look into but, it is only advise. What you do with it from there is up to you. I hope you will be very careful and I hope that I was of help. I will try always to add to this and update it as much as I am able. Below is a funny and cute kitty clip of my cat Zola when she made the news. :) She is so smart and loving. I am so lucky to have her.

Hello everyone,
I've been asked to remove a colony of honey bees from a cavity created by exterior wooden planks and the house. The owner of the house feels very strongly about the survival of the colony (so do I). Does anyone have any experience on recovering the colony from such a location? I'm going to be working together with a contractor who will do the wood work. My experience so far is limited to swarm removal on mail boxes and the like.
Thank you.

COLLEGE BASEBALL: Marist, Army finalize annual Dutchess Stadium game
- Updated: April 4, 2014
FISHKILL – Officials from the Hudson Valley Renegades, Army Athletic Association and Marist College Athletic Department Friday announced the details of the ninth annual WRWD Hudson Valley Baseball Classic, to be played between Army and Marist at Dutchess Stadium on April 23.
The contest pits the Hudson Valleys lone Division I baseball programs, Army and Marist, and brings together residents and fan bases from neighboring communities for an evening of quality entertainment at the home of the areas lone minor league baseball team affiliated with a major league franchise, the Hudson Valley Renegades.
First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 p.m. for this year's contest and will showcase a pair of teams with NCAA aspirations, followed by postgame fireworks.
Army and Marist are evenly split in the HVBC with each team winning four times.
"We are thrilled to once again be the venue for the annual WRWD Hudson Valley Baseball Classic here at the Dutch," said Renegades Vice President/Special Events Rick Zolzer. "We can't wait to see the reaction of the players and the fans when they see our brand new all purpose Astro Turf Field."
Leadership Dutchess has partnered with the game and will hold its "Home Run Helicopter Drop," following the awarding of the trophy and prior to the fireworks. A grand prize of $2,000 will be awarded to one lucky winner. Fans can purchase baseballs that will be dropped from a helicopter for just $10 at www.chamberfdn.org; only a limited number will be sold. The baseball that lands on the target marked on the field will win the grand prize.
For the ninth consecutive year, in conjunction with the WRWD Hudson Valley Baseball Classic, a free baseball clinic for boys and girls ages 8 to 18 will be conducted by players and coaches from both Army and Marist on the Dutchess Stadium playing field prior to the game from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. The first 150 individuals to pre-register for the clinic will receive a T-shirt commemorating the event, while all those participating in the clinic will receive a voucher for a free ticket to a Renegades game later this summer.
"This event is a terrific opportunity to showcase two quality Division I programs in the Hudson River Valley," said Marist Director of Athletics Tim Murray. "Fans will have an opportunity to experience great college baseball with a terrific family atmosphere. I'd like to thank the Army Athletic Association, the Hudson Valley Renegades and our sponsors for their work in making this event an annual success. It is a must-see for all baseball players, fans and families."
In a popular twist added six years ago, two youths who pre-register and attend the pregame clinic will be selected at random to participate in on-field festivities during the game itself. Two lucky youngsters will accompany Army head coach Matt Reid and Marist head coach Chris Tracz to home plate to present lineup cards during the Umpires Meeting prior to the game. Two clinic attendees will be chosen to hold the on-field microphone during renditions of The Star Spangled Banner (pregame) and God Bless America (seventh-inning stretch).
"This has grown into such a tremendous community event and we are thrilled to participate," said Army Director of Athletics Boo Corrigan. "We are fortunate to provide Hudson Valley residents a chance to interact with our cadet-athletes and an outstanding evening of free entertainment. The Renegades leadership and Marist Athletic Director Tim Murray and his staff help ensure this annual event is a success."

When it comes to Greek food, I'm both a harsh and incomplete judge. Harsh, because my Greek Yia Yia was such a great cook that many dishes pale next to hers. But incomplete, because I've never been a big fan of some Greek staples, like moussaka and pastitsio. I'm more of a lamb, Greek chicken and dolmas kind of gal. But one dish remains her crowning glory: avgolemono (egg-lemon) soup. Frothy, pale yellow and swimming with orzo, my brother and I used to call this the "good dreams" soup, because it filled our little tummies with a glow of comfort and joy.
So, when some foodie friends raved about Café Medi in Hurst, I sallied forth with both hope and trepidation.
Trepidation was unfounded. Café Medi made me want to shout "Opa!"
The menu is a hybrid of Middle Eastern and Greek, with dishes like kefta kebabs and shawarma rubbing elbows with souvlaki, and, yep, pastitsio and moussaka (most around the $9-$10 range).
The appetizer list was filled with promising fare, and instead of settling for one or two apps, we went for the vegetarian plate, which comes with a medley of hummus, falafel, dolmas and spanakopita ($7.95).
The hummus was pretty perfect, smooth and creamy, with just the right tinge of garlic and olive oil. The dolmas -- grape leaves stuffed with rice, parsley, onion and spices -- were another of Yia Yia's specialties, so I'm often disappointed by these, too. Not this time. They were delicious -- even to my fellow diners, who didn't fancy themselves dolma lovers. The grape leaves were super-tender, and the onions concealed enough for this onion hater.
As for the spanakopita, sometimes it can be packed like a brick with spinach. But Café Medi's was a mouthwatering (if mammoth) mound of puff pastry, filled with just the right amount of feta cheese and tender spinach, with a savory touch of mint. And lastly, the falafel was light with a nice, crunchy texture; it could've used a bit more seasoning, but once you dipped it in any of the sauces (hummus, tahini or garlic), that quibble disappeared.
We all agreed that we could easily order the entree version of the vegetarian plate ($9.95) upon a future visit.
But now onto the main event. From the moment we walked in, two items on the specials board caught my eye, and I called them: Lamb chops! And lemon and rice soup!
One companion ordered the moussaka ($9.95), sometimes referred to as Greek lasagna because of its meat-and-cheese layers, and she adored it. The dish was a lively medley of flavors: ground beef, bites of eggplant and a light, velvety béchamel sauce (mmm ... nutmeg) neatly layered and topped with a marinara sauce that added a tangy sweetness. I snuck a few bites, and although I don't think it'll convert me into a moussaka maniac, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. All entrees come with rice, vegetables and a side salad, but she substituted the latter for a Greek salad -- the $3.95 upcharge wasn't bad, considering the size of the salad, which was topped with a Mount Olympus of feta.
Our other diner went the more Middle Eastern route, with an order of shawarma ($7.95) -- strips of juicy, marinated beef and chicken, served with a side of tahini and garlic sauce. He wrapped the meat in a perfectly warm pita, and the result was both filling and flavorful.
My lamb chops ($15.95) were meatier than many chops, perfectly cooked and succulent. But this is a Greek place (owner Manos Moursi has a Greek dad; so do I), so it could maybe afford a heavier hand with the oregano.
So what about the lemon and rice soup ($5.95) I yearned for? Just examining it from above, I had my reservations: 1) the color -- a kind of electric greenish-yellow; 2) is that dill flecking the soup?; and 3) rice instead of orzo. But I dove in with my spoon, and I couldn't believe my taste buds. The lemon was present but not overwhelming, and the broth consistency was as it should be -- somewhere in between frothy and sturdy. The dill was a lovely little complement. It wasn't the same as the "good dreams" soup of my youth, but I finally found an avgolemono soup that I like nearly as much as Yia Yia's.
With such raves all around, we were sure dessert would be a letdown. And we were partly right. The galaktoboureko (Greek custard) was a warm, yummy, cinnamon-dusted delight. But the baklava, that staple of Greek desserts, was too dry. You couldn't pick up a bite without reducing it to a smattering of crumbs. But maybe it was just an off day for baklava. In her lifetime, Yia Yia certainly had a few of those. I think she'd forgive.
And if she were still with us, she'd go with me to Café Medi and give it her stamp of approval.

We were praying for Rihanna + Loretta Lynn + The Gossip, but we'll take what they're giving: the Boston stop of the revamped Lilith Fair has been announced, and although DARKBUSTER presumably still won't be there, we will.
The big names: KELLY CLARKSON and TEGAN AND SARA. The biggish names? CAT POWER and local gal CARLY SIMON, who presumably will either get each other through their notoriously awful stage fright .

VIDEO + REVIEW: Kelly Clarkson at House of Blues
One thing we can tell you from KELLY CLARKSON's teaser gig at the House of Blues earlier this year: her voice does not require any airbrushing.
"This show's going to be 97% gay guys... and, like, 3% fat chicks", said the guy next to me to his friends. We were all waiting in an eternal line on Lansdowne Street, and as everyone around me started passing the booze amongst themselves, the "real talk" began, I suppose. Of course, the dude couldn't have been more wrong, or it least it seemed that way from where I was standing during the show itself, once the House of Blues finally opened their doors and let us all in. Ostensibly a free show, quizzically brought to us by The Grammys and T-Mobile, it was an odd pairing of two of pop's current leading ladies, and it really was astounding how well it all worked out.

I have a head/cam package with raised compression. I've been using U4 and have turned some good numbers using it but I'm wondering if MR12 would be a better race fuel to use next year?!?!
What do you guys think and why?

I posted up on this before and was told by every reply run mr12
As long as the compression is too high you can run Mr12.
Wild Bunch Racing
I've heard from a number of people that MR12 doesn't perform well in the heat. Not sure how true this is
If I'm not mistaken you can leave u4 in but you have to drain mr12 out.
Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.
If u have high compression and in heat or humidity u r better off with mrx01

handclutch zx10 (BANKJOB)
I love Q16. works great all around
Live Fast or Die Trying
Mr12 would be better on motor with out spray makes good hp , switched to mrxo1 cause i run motor/nitrous and u4.4 i have a friend that is e it and he leaves it in the bike and havnt had any problems not like the old version of u4
i still wish we had the old u4 though it was a great fuel for the price
Get mr12
MR12 is the best fuel for all motor,but only if you have stock/low compression because it is fairly low octane. If you have "high" compression you may want to look into a different fuel,but it really just depends how high of compression. Q16 makes good power on motor and on nitrous.
Just went to VP Racing Fuel Website and I looked at Q16, MR12, and MRX01. Looks like I would have to increase fuel flow if I use Q16 but it seems like it is a consistent fuel and it is 116 octane. MR12 has a octane of 87, does have 5% increase in power over M9 and 6% increase in power over MRX01. MRX01 gives a 6% increase in power over pump gas and has a octane of 98. U4.4 also has a 6% increase over pump gas and has a higher octane than MRX01 which is 103. Im mentioning octane levels because I need a higher octane level due to increased compression. I have to run a mix of 50/50 blend of pump/race gas if I plan on street riding (expensive so I don't do much street riding). But I like the way U4.4 works for me. From the increase in mph and lower ET and with MR12 havin' a lower octane level I'm thinking of staying with U4.4.
"salt for what..hell to season some chicken"
Author 4tay
Remember that VP is listing MON, not AKI, when they're listing their octane... AKI is what you'd find on a gas pump, so the numbers VP gives will act as if they're quite a lot higher compared to the pump gas you're more familiar with.
you're good with mr12 with comp. 13.5 or a little higher, you will have to custom throttle position tune for this fuel to see the real benefits it produces, my bike loves it with thin hg, .015 deck, i show 8 hp increase at 7k, increases 8-12 hp thru upper midrange, levels out at 8 up top. throttle response and torque are vastly improved.

Over the weekend, I experienced sudden and acute Laryngitis. I have to say, it was pretty disconcerting and incredibly exhausting, having to whisper everything I wanted to communicate.
But somehow the invitation to be silent was perfect for where I'm at.
My voice returned yesterday but I can't say that I feel like talking much or even writing much. So here -- Sunday Snippets style -- is a window into my world over the past day or so.

Brittany Snow: Mercedes-Benz Lounge Cutie at NYFW
Taking a break from the hustle and bustle of New York Fashion Week, Brittany Snow headed to the Mercedes-Benz Star Lounge on Sunday (September 8).
The "Pitch Perfect" star looked cute in a black sweater with tiny pears on it, black and white patterned pants and pointy pink heels as she paused for photos.
Nowadays, the 27-year-old actress has a couple of projects underway including a TV movie called, "To My Future Assistant" and the big screen musical, "The Potters."
Currently in progress, "The Potters" co-stars Frances Fisher, Thomas Dekker, and Kurt Fuller and is described as a stop motion musical about a young girl's journey to find her origin.

Manipulation of Terms of Use;

As for Ms. Kieth's decision to run for higher office, what on earth is wrong with someone taking career steps--don't forget her numerous years of service on the Planning Commission. So she aspires to higher office; I personally embrace the idea of hiring people to political roles who aspire to make that field a career. Personally, I'll listen to her positions, evaluate her against other candidates, and then make my voting decision.

How refreshing and uplifting to this discussion it would be if everyone who posted used their real name - certainly there can be no fear of retaliation for commenting on this topic.
Instead what we are seeing are personal attacks by nameless individuals - to what end? -certainly not to have a 'thoughtful gathering place for sharing community information and opinion.'

" the EDITOR saw it appropriate to limit discussion on the topic to registered users only"
Its the Editors' Forum so they get to set the rules.
Why do you find registering so threatening? Do you refuse to register to vote? Do you refuse to register your car? Do you refuse to register for Social Security? And all of those registrations create a public record whereas registering for this Forum does not.
What exactly do you want to hide?

It certainly is not my Forum - if it were then there would no unregistered anonymous posters. As it is not my Forum I just do the best that I can to help make it a thoughtful gathering place (rather than just wandering through from time to time).

Peter, I was not directing my critIcism toward you. Your views on anonymous posters are well known..I do not fault you at all for expressing those opinions every chance you get. My comments were directed toward the editor relative to an even application of the terms of use, as was my question as to why the thread was limited to registered users. Since you seem to have taken it as a personal attack on you, then I would have to ask why you responded by quoting only one of the three postings you made on that thread relative to anonymous posters. In addition to the rather tranquil one you quoted were, "...hardly an excuse for hiding ones identity" and "how would you like to be judged by a jury of anonymous people?" Both of which were directed at another poster who was on topic but with whom you disagreed. And to answer your question about being reluctant to register--again to quote you, "...whereas registering for this forum does not (create a public record)"--Really, you believe such records are not accessible if someone really wanted to? Just because I'm parinoid doesn't mean they're not after me.

WhoRUpeople, I'm not sure which thread you're referring to that was limited to registered users because I'm not the editor who restricted it. But I'm hoping the following general information will be helpful.
Typically, editors restrict a thread to registered users when a problem poster or posters settle in and engage in personal attacks and unsupported accusations of unethical behavior or wrongdoing. Removing posts by the same TOU violator(s) over and over again becomes tiresome quickly, so we restrict.
If the thread you're referring to indicates "Editor" began it, it's probably because the first poster, who was the one to launch the thread off an Almanac article, violated the terms of use and the post was removed. When the first poster's name is removed from the field naming the launcher, the name is replaced by "Editor." A quirk in the system, and maybe too much information, but so it goes.
You're always welcome to begin a new thread, which will stay open to all posters as long as they are responsible in what they write.

DtB OVA PV
Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Yin kawaii yo Yin!
WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Hei and Yin being…. intimate.
I can't wait for this OVA now.
Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Yin kawaii yo Yin!
WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Hei and Yin being…. intimate.
I can't wait for this OVA now.
OVA looks like a win already :D
Amen to that.
Yin X Hei is always appreciated by me……
Her name is Kirsi damnit, I tell you!
@Nova: No one calls her that anyways!
The OVA will have lots of actions and Hei/Yin action, can't wait.
OMGOMGOGMOMGOGMOMGOMGOGMGOMGOGMOMGOMGOGMOMGOMGOMGOGMOMGOMGOMGOMG I THINK I JUST HAD CARDIAC ARREST. YIN WITH HER HAIR DOWN AND HEIXYIN! ITS TOO MUCH. (gasping for air) man this ovas gonna rock
If only we didn't have to wait 2 months between each episode, stupid ova is only included in the even number releases of the retail DVD/BD.
In the words of Sugisaki Ken: "Oh my god!"
Yeah man, Hei x Yin <3
Ah… they really went with it. Hei will now forever be marked as the Badass Chinese Electric Lolicon Batman.
Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit.
I want to watch. I want to want NOW.
Yin. ._.
So does this mean i wont have to read DTB:shikkoku no hana manga that is currently going on since these ovas will cover all that?
@RK9: Not so sure about that. It does seem like the content of the OVA is different… and 2 years is a looooooooong time to cover.
If only most Scandinavian girls resemble Kirsi/Yin…
I've never seen the Anime before – but dayum. She needs to grow a bit of a chest though. lol (my opinion only~)
Oh crap, that's Darker than Black?! My bad lol
OMFG YinXHei……?????? wow, Hei turned into Lolicon Shocker and Sure in this OVA Yin Looks Cute but I prefer HeiXMisaki Though. ;)
Finland isn't part of Scandinavia though ;P
That said, I get your point and totally agree with it.
Wrong. Absolutely wrong. Yin growing a chest would ruin her. She must remain a loli. >(

The quality of the NT Live* productions has been such that I have happily stuck five stars on reviews of almost all of them. This creates a problem in the present instance, because for the sake of relative accuracy I need to award this show seven.
The production, in an encore season after first playing last year, is the funniest thing I've seen on stage since Edna Everage stormed the St James in 1993 and by some margin the most purely entertaining of the series so far.
The play, written by Richard Bean, is an adaptation of the 18th century Venetian commedia dell'arte Servant of Two Masters, in which Harlequin (the genre's customary characterisation of a hapless servant) simultaneously secures two positions and strives, with comic results, to keep each employer unaware of the other.
Bean's version transplants the action to Brighton in 1963 and its music-rich style - which includes a fab skiffle band during scene changes - tips a hat to the broad entertainments of the Palace Pier's golden days.
The plot is so involved as to defy synopsis, but briefly this Harlequin is Francis Henshall (Corden from TV's Gavin and Stacey), a failed skiffle player who lands jobs with two guvnors - Rachel (Rooper), a woman disguised as her dead twin brother, who was a petty hood, and Stanley (Chris), an upper-class twit who (yes, I know it's improbable) is Rachel's intended even though he killed her brother.
The complications that ensue are handled with incandescent brilliance as the cast dances through Bean's fast-paced script. It's the kind of show in which characters' exits and entrances quickly get their own rounds of applause.
Edden's octogenarian waiter is a special treat in the long set-piece when a hungry Francis tries to serve two dinners at once, but all the performances are terrific. And Corden's show-stealing turn, which makes audacious use of the audience, is pretty much beyond praise. It should on no account be missed.
* NT Live is a project of London's National Theatre in which productions are filmed and broadcast in real time to cinemas on both sides of the Atlantic. We get them here on hard drive a few weeks later. It's commercially risky for the distributors who deserve the encouragement of all the custom they can get.
Stars: 5/5
Cast: James Corden, Oliver Chris, Jemima Rooper, Daniel Rigby, Suzy Toase Polly Conway, Jolyon Dixon, Tom Edden, Martyn Ellis
Director: Nicholas Hytner
Running time: 160 mins
Rating: E
Verdict: So funny it should carry a health warningJames Corden is a show-stealer in One Man, Two Guvnors.

- opposite problem.
- Look for vendors to provide a better out-of-the-box integration to this problem in the near-term, For the mid-term, look for vendors to start storing both requirements and code in an integrated or unified repository so that both can enjoy the benefits of state of the art versioning capabilities along with state-of-the-art metadata/linking and container-based editing capabilities. MKS Requirements already has a jump start on this with their recent requirements management offering (already billed as "lightweight/agile"). Look for fine-grained versioning [15] to play a role in this as well.
- opposite problem.
- Lean Traceability - the last bastion of resistance against any traceability will be attempts at Lean traceability:
- Modularity & Granularity : Efforts to eliminate redundancy and complexity will result in using smaller grained artifacts and having them all "connected" or linked together in a database and/or perhaps an XML Schema using SOAP and other enterprise integration technologies.
- Auto-Generation and Locality of Reference : There will be renewed attempts to co-locate related information in the same object rather than having to split and track separate objects. And some kind of "literate" document/traceability generation ("build") will extract the necessary information and present/report for the proper stakeholders. This will plug-in to IDEs such as Eclipse (see [16]).
- Encapsulation and Architecture : Traceability will be done to the largest-grained object scope possible, and intra-object dependencies will be aggressively refactored to remain as cohesive as possible while maintaining low-coupling with other objects (of all types, not just code)
- Aspect-Oriented Traceability : Ivar Jacobsen [23] writes that use-cases are themselves logical entities that cut-across an architecture, and as such are a natural fit for applications of aspect-oriented development. (Look for AOP and related tool-support to be applied in this manner before it is applied to process architecture.)
- CM RFID - On a related note, it may be only a matter of time before l things like RFID have their equivalent in CM with regard to traceability
- The brother of one of the authors was a logistics officer with the British army in the second Gulf War. He noted the difference an active satellite based RFID based tracking system made in tracking certain types of shipment (only high value items). The financial cost of duplicates being ordered and stores going to the wrong place is massive, let alone the consequences of vital stores not being delivered to front line troops in desperate need
- Unfortunately, for the majority of stores with passive RFID and imperfect systems in place, things still could be lost once they had left ships. The army recognizes that they need to beef up the system and automate as much as possible. The more people are required to take manual steps, even if that's to pass a reader near a passive RFID tag, the greater the chance of mishap.
Trends toward Enterprise CM Administration/Deployment
Life will start to get better for us poor souls who have to administer, deploy and support full-fledged SCM solutions across an entire enterprise (agile or otherwise). Things may actually get worse before they get better, because it may take some time to get different technologies and standards sorted out before the winners begin to emerge. Expect to see things like the following:
Full Application Lifecycle Management - look for the scope of CM (even enterprise CM) to be expanded to include activities even earlier in the product lifecycle, such as product management and marketing, portfolio management and planning, integrated systems engineering; as well as later in the product lifecycle to deployment/install/upgrade, and even run-time configuration management & monitoring of run-time components and web-based services.

Policy Regarding Gifts to and Alliances with the Library System
Gifts to the Library
- Virginia Code 42.1-35 states in part: … the Board shall have the right to accept donations and bequests of money, personal property, or real estate for the establishment and maintenance of such free public Library systems or endowments for same.
- The Board of County Supervisors, at its meeting December 21, 1955, … agreed that should anyone desire to donate land for Library purposes and specifies that it should be titled in the name of the Library Board and not the County, that the Library Board should first come back to the Board of County Supervisors and get its permission on whether the land so offered as a gift should be accepted and that the same procedure should also be followed whether the land is donated or to be purchased.
- Gifts to the Fairfax County Public Library are tax-deductible.
In February 1995, the Fairfax County
Public Library Foundation, Inc. was established.
- The Foundation is a nonprofit, tax-exempt charitable organization established as 501(c)(3) for the sole benefit of the Library.
- Gifts to the Foundation are tax-deductible.
Library Director's Authority
- The Library Director shall accept or reject gifts within the scope and limitations established by the Library Board.
- All gifts of books are to be handled at the discretion of the Library Director. Appropriate notations may be placed on them at the discretion of the Director.
The Library Board has sole authority to accept or reject any
gift. When accepting gifts from the Foundation or any other
source, the Library Director acts as the agent of the Library
Approval of the Board is required before accepting a Foundation gift--either of money, which is unrestricted or restricted--or of any other object or material. The Library Director will inform the Chair when such a gift is proposed.
If the gift is restricted, the Board Chair will refer it to the Policy Committee. The Policy Committee will review the matter and report to the full Board.
If the gift is unrestricted, the chair will refer it to the Budget/Personnel Committee. The Budget/Personnel Committee will review the matter and report to the full Board.
- The Library will not assign any value.
- For most donations, the fair market value is the donor's estimate of the donated item's worth.
- To establish extraordinary value, the cost of the appraisal should be borne by the donor.
- Library Gift Funds are those funds forwarded to Library Administration by Friends Groups from their ongoing book sales proceeds.
- Unrestricted Library Gift Funds shall be spent for any purchases designed to enhance operations of the Fairfax County libraries.
- FCPL follows all procedures/policies outlined in ACT (Accounting Technical Bulletin 40050—Gifts and Donations).
- Authorization
- The Library will pursue agreements with federal/state/local agencies, industry, academia, and other organizations, to build cooperative alliances which are beneficial to the Library.
Alliances must relate to the Library's mission and be structured to
enhance a library program, service or product.
- All alliances must be documented in a written "Alliance Agreement" which clearly describes the specific goals, activities and responsibilities of each partner. Each agreement must include an appropriate timetable and a provision for immediate cancellation by the Library.
- Alliance agreements must be approved by the Library Board.
- All alliance agreements shall be evaluated by the Library at the end of each year, or at such other times as established by the Library Board, and a written summary of the evaluation shall be submitted to the Library Board by the Library Director.

ICHEC has an active outreach programme that encourages the scientific understanding of computing and High Performance Computing in primary/secondary schools and the general public.
Conceptually, think of a supercomputer not as a single (super) computer, but instead, a large number of computers tightly integrated to form one large (virtual) supercomputer. So for instance the Irish National supercomputer "Stokes" consists of 320 "computers" (which we call "nodes"), each comprising of two processor chips, with 6 cores each. This gives Stokes a total of 3,840 computational cores. Its main components (processors and memory) are the same as found in most high-end home computers. So the main difference between a supercomputer and home computers (beside scale) is that the programming model necessary to exploit the power of supercomputers is different: it requires programmers to parallelise the problem.
HPC is becoming increasingly important both in industry and academia for scientific research. Its scope is surprisingly broad ranging. In industry, its use ranges from predictable areas such as engineering (civil engineering, automotive and aeronautics, medical devices for the design of cardiac stents and also in orthopedics), the oil industry (oil exploration, reservoir simulation), or the financial sector (risk calculation). But you may be surprised to hear that HPC has played a major role in the design of Speedo's revolutionary swimsuit (which helped break a series of world records recently), or the shape of Pringle's crisps. An interesting video was recently produced by DreamWorks for the US Council on Competitiveness to illustrate the widespread use of HPC in industry and its importance to the US economy.

Last night The Jaguar Land Rover Dealership in Minneapolis held a fantastic event where they unveiled their new dog park on location at the dealership.
This wasn't just your ordinary event where you invite folks in for a meet and greet. This was a doggie-centric event that included nearly a hundred dogs of all kinds and over 150 people. There was a dog grooming station that provided a free nail trimming service, a ribbon cutting ceremony, and even a full blown doggie fashion show.
In addition to all of the above, they also had Greg Gagne host an auction to give away several incredible packages that were donated to the event. All of the proceeds from the evening went to benefit the Animal Humane Society!
CRAVE Catering provided an incredible spread of food and beverages for the guests. Some of the other very generous sponsors included Loll Designs, Hoigaard's, Lucy Activewear, Yum! Kitchen and Bakery, Artful Living Magazine, and Adogo Pet Hotels.
Thank you to everyone who came and supported this great event! It was fantastic seeing all the people, and some really great dogs!
On Friday January 13th, CRAVE Restaurant in Coral Gables, Florida had the privilege of catering the Femfessional Networker Event in Coral Gables.
Femfessionals was founded in Miami so of course we think of FemCity Miami as home. FemCity Miami, and the women in our community, sculpted Femfessionals into a national movement. It's Founding Members provided unconditional support and passion for our vision and we will be forever grateful to those original Fems.
The event was sponsored by Equinox Gym in Coral Gables. The lovely ladies spent the morning at the gym working out in a customized group fitness class organized exclusively just for Femfessionals so by the time they were done with class our fems were very much ready to enjoy some of CRAVE's healthy and delicious menu delights!
The menu for the day was a delicious and decadent assortment of sushi creations from our one and only Chef Rob, Thai Chicken Nuggets lightly drizzled in a luscious Thai chili sauce (the lovely ladies could not get enough of) Also, to complement our delightful menu for the event we served a beautiful Mediterranean plate with Pita Bread, hummus, olives, and roasted garlic.
Helping our guests plan their special events is one of the things I enjoy the most about my job! I'll be more than happy to help you organize your event at our beautiful restaurant or offsite! We can cater intimate gatherings as well as larger social or corporate events at your home, office or special venue.

NOTHING like the savage murder of PC Keith Blakelock had been seen since 1833, when PC Robert Culley was stabbed to death during riots in Clerkenwell, central London.
PC Blakelock and his unit were ill-prepared for what they were to encounter on the Broadwater Farm Estate on the night of Sunday, October 6, 1985.
The 40-year-old, who was originally from Sunderland, had been working as a beat bobby in Muswell Hill. He had no formal riot training and was armed only with a truncheon and had a shield and helmet for protection.
Loading article content
His unit had been sent to help firefighters put out a fire in a supermarket, but the unit became surrounded by rioters and had to battle their way out of the building.
PC Blakelock had stayed at ground level with a colleague to keep their exit clear. As the unit emerged from the building into the dark, he was set upon by a large crowd armed with an assortment of weapons, including knives and machetes.
He was stabbed more than 40 times to shouts of "kill the pig" and an attempt was made to decapitate him. His colleague PC Richard Coombes was also attacked but managed to survive.
The riots came as tension between the community and police reached breaking point with the death of Cynthia Jarrett from a heart attack during a search of her home in Tottenham.
Since the murder, there have been three separate investigations, with the most recent culminating in the trial of Nicky Jacobs, who was acquitted of murder yesterday.
These investigations, according to Mr Jacobs' defence, only served to alienate the community more.
He was the seventh person to be charged over the mob killing, as previous attempts to secure a successful conclusion to the case foundered.
Among the accused were three youths who never faced trial after a judge ruled their questioning was inadmissible.
In March 1987, Winston Silcott, Mark Braithwaite and Engin Raghip were found guilty of the murder.
But their convictions were quashed four and a half years later, after forensic tests on pages of key interview records suggested they had been fabricated.
Mr Silcott later accepted £50,000 compensation from the Metropolitan Police for their part in his wrongful conviction.
In January 1993, in a bid to encourage witnesses to come forward, the controversial decision was taken to draw a distinction between so-called "kickers" and "stabbers".
POLICE offered immunity to people who did not use weapons in the attack on PC Blakelock – among them were the witnesses referred to as John Brown and Rhodes Levin who were to give evidence against Mr Jacobs.
Some of the informers were also paid for their co-operation.
Meanwhile, in 1994, charges were brought against two officers involved in the original inquiry. They were accused of fabricating evidence but were both cleared at the Old Bailey.
In 2003, Scotland Yard reopened the murder investigation and made a series of arrests in connection with PC Blakelock's death and the attempted murder of his colleague PC Coombes.
In 2005, police released images of Mr Blakelock's blood-stained overalls in a bid to prompt fresh witnesses to come forward.
Investigators repeatedly said people in the area had information about the identity of the killers they have not shared with police.
Mr Jacobs was interviewed again by police in 2010 but was only charged last year, prompting his lawyer, Courtenay Griffiths QC, to question why it had taken so long.
In fact, the defendant, who was 16 at the time, was first arrested over the murder five days after the riots.
He was charged with affray and later sentenced to youth detention for eight years, but was eventually reduced to five on appeal.
Police had known about a rap poem in which Mr Jacobs allegedly described the murder while behind bars since it was found in 1988.
By that time, police also had evidence he was on the Broadwater Estate the night of the riots.
By 1994, police had witnesses Mr Brown and Mr Levin, who claimed to have seen Mr Jacobs with a weapon during the attack on PC Blakelock.
And by 2000, police knew about a comment Mr Jacobs made to a police officer claiming involvement in the murder.
Five years ago another witness, known as Q, came forward alleging he had seen Mr Jacobs attacking PC Blakelock with a weapon.
During his closing speech Mr Griffiths condemned efforts to convict Jacobs 28 years later as "deplorable".
However, prosecutor Richard Whittam QC urged the jury to set aside emotions and try Mr Jacobs on the evidence alone.
The jury of five women and seven men took six hours to find Mr Jacobs not guilty of taking part in the attack.

Jakarta threat on Corby bribe claim
Political correspondent
Page Tools
Schapelle Corby
Photo: Reuters
The Indonesian embassy has blasted as a "smear campaign" suggestions that prosecutors wanted a bribe in return for seeking a lighter sentence for alleged drug smuggler Schapelle Corby.
The embassy in Canberra raised the possibility of legal action on the grounds of defamation and making a false charge to defend the country's court system.
Gold Coast businessman Ron Bakir, who is paying for Corby's defence, suggested prosecutors wanted cash in return for not seeking the death sentence.
Mr Bakir, a mobile phone entrepreneur, told Sydney radio the defence team was approached by a person acting on behalf of prosecutor Ida Bagus Wiswantanu.
"To be honest with you, it's an absolute disgrace, but anyhow that's how it works," he told 2GB. He later denied he was alluding to bribery.
Channel Ten news last night claimed Corby's supporters were asked for $500,000.
Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said any concerns about conduct of prosecutors or judges should be taken to Indonesian police or Australian officials.
"They certainly shouldn't just leave allegations hanging out there which are unsubstantiated," Mr Downer told ABC radio. "They should substantiate those allegations, but do so privately to the Indonesian police and then they can be properly investigated."
He said the court case in Bali should be allowed to run its course without interference.
The Department of Foreign Affairs said no evidence had been presented, or concerns raised, with the Australian Government about the conduct of the trial.
The Indonesian embassy said it had investigated the "allegation made public by an individual" that money was demanded by prosecutors.
"The Indonesian embassy has been in contacts (sic) with authorities concerned in Indonesia and thoroughly verified this serious accusation," it said in a statement.
"Based on the results of these representations, the embassy categorically denies the accusation and wishes to inform those involved in this smear campaign that the Government of Indonesia is considering all legal options pertaining to this case, for it is punishable under articles 316 and 317 of Indonesia's penal codes."
Those laws relate to defamation against legal officials and making a false claim and can be punished by up to four years' jail.
Mr Wiswantanu described the bribery claims as "huge lies".
Corby's defence team and the Australian Government fear that the comments by Mr Bakir may have damaged her case. The court is yet to learn if prosecutors will seek the death penalty. They were prevented from making their sentence request after the beauty student collapsed in court last week.
Corby, 27, has denied smuggling 4.1 kilograms of cannabis into Bali last October inside an unlocked bodyboard bag. She was arrested at Denpasar airport.
Meanwhile, Queensland real estate agent Ray Edward, who is trying to raise $1 million for information to help free Corby, said he had been inundated with calls.

I'm hoping somebody can recommend an antenna. This will be inside, but an outdoor antenna is not out of the question (I have an extra room for storage), I'll just need a way to keep it propped up. I contacted Solid Signal, and they told me reception isn't going to happen without a rotator, which obviously really doesn't work with a DVR especially one tuning 4 channels at the same time time. The channels I'm interested in are NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox, MyNetwork, and CW.

/// Hewlett-Packard Dons Its Ultrabook Suit
It's been about three weeks since Hewlett-Packard announced its decision to keep its PC division , formally known as the Personal Systems Group or PSG. Today marked the first serious batch of new PC introductions from HP since that decision. The one that's getting all the attention is an offering in the Ultrabook category that's priced at $900. It's called the HP Folio 13 , and aside from its price, its headline feature is that it delivers a full nine hours of battery life. The Ultrabook is a concept primarily being pushed by Intel, so much so that Intel even owns the trademark rights to the name. Inside the Folio 13 are the latest Intel Core processors. It represents the hopes of a PC industry that has seen anemic sales with little sign of a bounceback , though that it depends on whom you ask .

John Furrier and Jeff Frick, theCUBE co-hosts, broadcasted live from Day Three of #BigDataSV in Santa Clara, California, catching up with the thought leaders in the industry and the "tech athletes", debating the news from Strata and trends and speculating on the future.
Everybody seems to agree that this year's Strata conference, an event that used to appeal more to the geeks, for the first time focuses on the business outcome and value, showing a clear transformation of the market.
Jim Hare, Product Marketing with Actian, joined Furrier and Frick in theCUBE to talk about Actian Analytics Platform and Big Data no longer being just Hadoop.
Hare started out exposing a bit of the Actian background: "The roots of Actian are really in the operational database; it was a private equity firm that saw value in the untapped, unvalued resources and assets and it has built a company on that foundation."
"Most recently they've acquired companies like Pervasive and ParAccel and I was brought in to look at these assets and figure out how they can be combined in interesting ways to unlock that value," Hare said. "With Actian Analytics Platform we looked at all these capabilities and combined them to really get that value. Today it's one company, one voice, one message, one platform."
"The Hadoop movement put a face on unstructured data," noted Furrier. "You're starting to see the maturation of that space, so Big Data doesn't equal Hadoop anymore. From your perspective, explain the role of Hadoop and other platforms."
"A lot of people are already dealing with a lot of data with traditional sources – they have data warehouses and databases, and with the flurry of new data coming from various sources, there was no easy way to manage not only the new data types, but also the volume of data," Hare answered. "Hence, people were looking for new technologies to handle that kind of different types of data. Hadoop was explored and evaluated as an interested way of not only handling that data, but also becoming a low-cost storage mechanism. That's why people started associating Big Data with Hadoop. But the reality is that Hadoop is great for handling things, data science, data discovery, etc."
Nowadays people want to take some of this data and combine it with their on-premise data. How do you do that? There's a collection of different platforms involved:
- Hadoop – handles certain types of data
- Data warehouse
- Analytics platform – sophisticated, low latency, cost-effective
"With Actian Analytics Platform we created the ability to interoperate, cooperate, complement and connect all these types of platforms."
"One of our biggest customers is Evernote, one of the leaders in providing online capabilities for people to store notes and videos," noted Hare. "A lot of the information behind the scenes is stored with Hadoop. They saw the value in having Hadoop and an analytics platform."
"How do you look at the SQL on Hadoop trend? asked Furrier.
"People want to use the existing skills and knowledge that they have," Hare said. "People know SQL from their previous experience. That's why they use SQL to tap into Hadoop."
"What's the profile of the developer using Actian?" asked theCUBE hosts.
"Someone coming from an architectural background," Hare responded. "The developer comes into play when you have the technology and it's time to start building the applications. In the case of an analytics platform, a lot of the data scientists coming to the market right now don't know SQL. They know all these new technologies, predictive analytics, but people are forgetting the roots of how you access this other information that's already on-premise and of value through SQL."
"What people don't know about Actian that they should?" inquired Furrier.
"Amazon's RedShift runs on our platform, just like MicroStrategy's cloud," said Hare. "When people want the fastest, lowest-latency platform, they come to Actian."

JMichelle's recommendation
I love chinese take out boxes, except I hate how susceptable they are to damage. This one is made of tin (like an Asian take on the American tin lunch box) and full of Hello Kitty candies.
northstar's recommendation
i've never been a huge fan of the hello kitty products, sweet as they are, but i couldn't help myself when i saw this little candy tin. the design is cute & pretty, i'm sure the star shaped sweets inside are just as nice! i'd love it to use as a cookie tin in my kitchen :)

Shares in copper and gold producer
The production upgrade comes just months after the PanAust board approved upgrades at its Phu Kham project, located in Laos, in mid-October.
Shares in the company hit 80.5¢ on Tuesday, up from Monday's close of 77.5¢.
The company expects to produce 67,000 tonnes of copper at an average cash cost of less than $US0.90 per pound after precious metal credits, estimated from 60,000 ounces of gold and 500,000 ounces of silver in concentrate.
In August the miner said its Phu Kham project was on track to achieve production of more than 63,000 tonnes of copper in concentrate, 50,000 ounces of gold and 500,000 ounces of silver in concentrate.
The miner has been the beneficiary of higher commodity prices as it boosts production.
Copper contracts on the London Metal Exchange are currently trading at near-record prices around $US9,150 per tonne.
Gold spot prices are also trading near record highs of around $US1,400 per ounce.
"Current earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization guidance of $US260 million for the 2010 year is based on actual operating performance to the end of November and the assumption that production will exceed sales in the final quarter of the year," the company said in a statement to the Australian Securities Exchange.
Financial and production guidance for the 2011 year will be provided in late January along with the December 2010 quarterly report.

Tuesday 6th July 1915- Diary of HV Reynolds
Tuesday 6 July 2010 by Janice Farrer. No comments
Diary of an Anzac
Please note: Care has been taken to transcribe these entries without alteration to preserve the original language of Herbert Vincent Reynolds.
'A large enemy shell put one of the No9 Battery guns out of action and killed some of the crew yesterday. Just before sunset the enemy guns in the Olive Grove opened fire with shrapnel on our camp, it kept us all under cover while it lasted. But no damage was done. According to a headquarters report today the explosion we saw on Achi Baba last Sunday was caused by a 6inch enemy shell exploding in a French ammunition pit, it also stated that during the recent operations at Cape Helles, a body of the 10th Ghurkas were driven out of their trenched by an enemy bomb attack, but the position was retaken again in an attack made by the Inniskilin Fusiliers.'
*Trench warfare is commonly fought back and forth over the same area. Once an enemy trench is captured it is probable that eventually the enemy will push you back out again.
