text: FormFormForm gets ready to launch the next big consumer adhesive brand – a unique concept in repair and reuse – for the eco-warrior in all of us! Tuesday 11 August 2009 PDF Print sugru is unique because it not only enables people to repair things easily, but also gives them the satisfaction of taking a stand against our throwaway society New silicone material combines a unique range of properties. The Company and its inventors believe that sugru™ will become a household essential for responsible consumers the world over. LONDON, 11 August 2009 – FormFormForm Ltd. (http://www.formformform.com), a pioneering new business combining product design and silicone technology, is preparing for the consumer market launch of its patented new class of silicone materials. Available online from Autumn, sugru™ is a new concept in consumer adhesives. It has a unique range of properties that combine to deliver specific advantages over other adhesives, making it ideal for repairing and adapting existing products. The Company is also seeking new funding to support phase two of the brand launch and to expand the business. sugru is the result of on an invention made five years ago by Jane ní Dhulchaointigh, then a post-graduate research student at London's Royal College of Art. She wanted a mouldable, self-adhesive and self-curing silicone that would enable people to easily and affordably repair, improve or customise things they already own. Since no existing product had these features, she devised the concept and brought it into reality in partnership with entrepreneur Roger Ashby, backing from the Royal College of Art, and the technical expertise of senior silicone materials scientists formerly of the world's leading silicones group, Dow Corning. Jane comments: "We all throw away dozens of perfectly good products every year because they break, wear through or are uncomfortable to use. sugru is unique because it not only enables people to repair things easily, but also gives them the satisfaction of taking a stand against our throwaway society by celebrating and enjoying repairs. The number of different uses people have found for sugru makes me think that it could become as universal as Velcro® or Duck® Tape. Our forthcoming consumer market launch will position the product as a practical tool to care for the environment, by making repair and reuse a realistic and fun option!" sugru is the first product to enter the market using FormFormForm's patented platform technology, Formerol®, which offers a combined range of properties that are unique among silicone materials. It can easily be moulded by hand or machine at ambient temperatures; its plasticity can be specified as required; it incorporates moisture-activated curing and it adheres to metal substrates, glass, ceramics, some woods and some plastics; it is waterproof, highly durable, electrically and thermally insulating, heat-resistant to 180°C; and it cures at room temperature during a period of hours to give a smooth or textured non-slip surface. Examples of how sugru can be used are shown at http://www.sugru.com and further information on the platform technology is available at http://www.formerol.com. Three patents, covering the US, EU, China and India, protect all the key inventions inherent to sugru and the Formerol platform technology. In combination, these patents ring-fence the composition of matter and protect a wide range of use applications. In addition to its work in the consumer adhesive market, FormFormForm has a product development contract with a leading global brand of professional garden hand tools. In this application, Formerol is moulded directly onto forged aluminium handles. A high incidence of repetitive strain injury among professional hand tool users is driving the need improve the comfort of such tools; in partnership with FormFormForm the customer is developing a new range with improved grip technology by enabling handles to conform to the hands of individual users. FormFormForm is seeking £250,000 of new investment. It will be used to expand the business by scaling up production, investing in the development of the sugru brand and to gain shelf space in major retail chains. The Company is open to conversation with manufacturers, distributors and brand owners who would like to explore Formerol technology and its potential advantages and opportunities in new market sectors. The Company has been funded to date by FormFormForm's founders, the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts (NESTA), private equity investment from Lacomp EIS fund, and a grant from the Technology Strategy Board. In June 2009 additional private investment was secured from a senior executive of a major European manufacturing group based in Ireland. The new investor brings considerable international commercial experience to the team. -ends- About FormFormForm Ltd.

I used to have a retainer as a kid not braces though and i never used it,could a retainer help straighten that tooth? Also im 18 living independent so i couldnt afford braces or invisalign, is there anything affordable and effective to fix this problem please help

Inman aligners do very well
There are retainers that are more "active" than "retentive". A very good choice is the Inman aligner, which is usually charged per arch. This may mean significant savings.

We had been in this huge house in a rural area of Utah called Lynnley for a whole month, and I was so sick of living with men.
Everett and Baxter were naturally inclined to pick up after themselves, but freaking Phineas was a bad influence. I wanted another woman to find us! And I wanted to sit all their butts down and have a talk.
"You-" I said, waving a dirty sock at the blonde idiot on the couch. "I am done picking up after you. We lived very cleanly before you showed up. Stop treating this house like a garbage dump! If you have to be messy, move out. You can still come over for meals and to hang out, but if you can't be an adult, you need your own place."
I tossed his sock at him and sat in a huff. "And you two better stop taking after him or I'm moving my own damn self out and good luck finding me!"
Everett shifted in his seat, ashamed. He was usually more prickly than me about keeping things tidy! Baxter stood and apologized.
"You're right. We aren't pigs. I'm sorry for what you've had to put up with." He walked over to me and got down on one knee. "Please allow us the pleasure of cleaning this place top to bottom while you relax and have a snack."
I raised my eyebrows. "That sounds pretty good. Alright. Hop to it."
Everett stood and glared at Phineas, waiting. "Well?"
"What?" he asked.
"This is your fault. Are you going to apologize?" he demanded.
"Yeah, to her, not you. I didn't make you skip washing the dishes, that was all on you, bro." He stood and bowed. "My lady, I am sorry. It's true, I'm a mess, but please give me a chance to redeem myself."
I rolled my eyes at his drama and pushed them both away from the couch so I could take a nap.
I didn't get to sleep for long before I woke to Phineas shaking me. "Hot Latina, hot Latina!" he shrieked before running to the front door. It took me a second to realize what he meant, then I jumped off the couch and rushed after him.
She was standing down the front walk way, backing up when Baxter walked toward her. When she saw me, she waved. I told the guys to hang back. Women had to be more wary- Everett, at least, knew this, and had stayed by the front door.
I approached her slowly, both of us keeping our hands in view as I drew closer. I stopped about ten feet away and spoke.
"My name is Genevieve," I said. "Back there is Baxter, Everett, and Phineas. What's your name?"
"Alex," she said. "Are they nice?"
"Sometimes," I said, smiling. "Mostly they're just annoying. Do you want to come in? We can make something to eat and have tea."
"That sounds great," she said, walking toward me. She was very tall, about 5'9" and slender. I was already jealous of her silky black hair and long legs before I even knew where she came from. I led her inside, the men keeping a polite distance so they wouldn't scare her. We chatted at the table while Everett made tea and Baxter threw together some snacks. We learned that she had come across a sign in Texas like Phineas. When she saw our town destroyed, she almost didn't search for the house, but she decided to anyway and learned we were headed to Utah. Once she got to the state, she saw the new address spray painted on the welcome sign and tracked us down.
"I am not going to lie, it's so great to finally have another woman around," I said, Bax and Phin agreeing enthusiastically. "I'm sure these two are going to drive you a little nuts, but please hang in there! Would you like to stay in this house with us? We picked it because of all the extra bedrooms."
"That would be incredible," she laughed. "If it's ok, I have a friend with me. She was scared so I told her I'd make sure it was safe and go get her."
Phineas was almost vibrating in his seat. "That would be awesome, go get her, that would be awesome."
Baxter elbowed him, telling him to cool it while we waited for Alex to return. When her friend came into view, I was surprised.
"That's okay, she's just experienced," Phin said, bouncing on the balls of his feet.
"Then I will take Alex," Baxter replied, grinning.
"What if they don't want either of you?" I pointed out.
Her friend looked to be in her mid forties, tall, a little bonier than Alex, and her hair was brown and wavy.
"Hello, my name is Katherine," she said, shaking my hand first, then moving onto the men.
They overreacted spectacularly, inviting them in and fussing over them like helicopter moms. Everett and I excused ourselves after a few minutes and went upstairs, exhausted by Phin and Baxter.
We fully acknowledged how rude we may appear to them, but guilt was always lessened when you shared it. Instead of immersing ourselves in the hullabaloo downstairs, we crawled into our bed and opened a book together. We had found an old copy of the Grimm's fairy tales and were reading them. This time it was his turn, so I curled up against him and closed my eyes, listening to his smooth baritone as it painted pictures in my mind.
He read through three stories before I stopped him with a kiss. "We had a little break," I said gently. "I think we should go back downstairs before they think we're crazy hermits." I started to get up, but he pulled me back.
"I know, but them showing up is such a huge relief," he said, holding my hands. "I don't have to worry about them hitting on you anymore, or trying to steal you away, or running off with you; it's a huge load off my mind."
I blinked at him, surprised. Then I started laughing. "How could you ever think I could be with anyone but you? Listen, do you remember the music video to Qing Hua Ci by Jay Chou?"
He shook his head, so I sang the chorus for him. "Yes, I'd never seen you cry before," he replied.
I scowled. "I was probably on my period- it didn't count. Anyway- while our relationship (or lack thereof) wasn't that tragic, I felt like that was us in a way, meant to be together, but something stopped it from happening. I feel like I've loved you- it doesn't matter, I just wouldn't leave you for anything or anyone," I finished, mumbling and blushing.
"For millennia," he said softly, kissing me. "Was that what you were going to say?"
"Two crotchety old souls who have found each other more than once," I said, embarrassed by how sappy everything was getting.
He pulled me back down to the bed, his hand twisted in my hair as he kissed me. "It's okay to be sentimental sometimes," he murmured, his lips brushing mine.
"Just don't advertise how soft I am inside." I felt him grin before he kissed me again and crushed me up against him. My voice broke when I protested- I reminded him of our new guests in broken sentences, but he just told me they'd manage without us and I lost the will to argue.
When we went back downstairs, we found the house empty. Everett led me out back where we found them showcasing the garden we'd all been working so hard on. We waved at them and they waved back as they waited for us to reach them.
"Sorry to abandon you- have these guys been treating you right?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at Bax and Phin.
"They've been great- we were told to ask you about some fried green tomatoes?" Alex asked, holding out five or six unripe tomatoes in her hand.
"Oh yeah! That's perfect- we can add them to dinner! I have my mother's recipe memorized, so I think they'll turn out great!" I took the fruit from her and carried them into the house in my dress's skirt, pulled out to act as a basket. Everett followed me, snagging an early cucumber off the vine to snack on.

IRS Filing Requirement
This organization is required to file an IRS Form 990-N.
How does this organization make a difference?
Self-reported by organization
During 2014, Project Light provided English language instruction to close to 300 students through the efforts of 40 volunteer instructors. Project Light celebrated 20 years of service in the community with an Anniversary Luncheon. The school is proud to continue developing a computer lab, thanks to support from the Community Foundation of Sarasota County and the Manatee Community Foundation, which will enhance language learning and provide essential computer skills for students especially applying for jobs online. In the next year we hope to offer more classes in the evening, and develop an afternoon program of ESOL instruction.
Self-reported by organization
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Program 1
Daily Morning Classes
Project Light offers daily morning English language and literacy classes to adult English Language Learners (ELL), as well as evening classes twice a week, using a proven curriculum that empowers students to build upon their skills, as they progress through the various levels of course offerings. The $40,000 budget for this program also includes all overheads associated with other Project Light programs.
Program long term success
Project Light has expanded its reach from 39 students per quarter in 1999 to nearly 80 students per quarter in 2011. Enrollment now includes Hispanic students, Haitians and others from the Caribbean, Asians and Eastern Europeans.
Program success monitored by
Students' progress is monitored and recorded on a daily basis by their instructors. Upon reaching proficiency in their current level, instructors will move the student into the next, higher level.
Program success examples
A current student at Project Light was illiterate in her own country. She was unable to attend school due to financial constraints on her family. She entered the Project Light program without any English instruction, and could not write in her native language. She has risen to the top of English proficiency offered by Project Light, and is assisting the beginner students. She recently passed her citizen exam, and is now a U.S. citizen.

Computer lab classes
Project Light offers students access to a new computer lab twice a week, including web-based and software-based language education, basic computer skills development, and job and education focused internet use instruction.
Program long term success
We hope to expand the lab hours and provide access/service to more students, as Project Light continues to work on building its capacity and funding.
Program success monitored by
Participating students complete a computer class questionnaire.
Program success examples
One of the greatest benefits of the computer lab has been to allow students to learn the basics; many have not had the opportunity to sit down at a computer and gain the understanding needed to begin using one.
Population(s) Served
Manatee and Sarasota Counties
Funding Needs
The major needs of Project Light are listed as follows: 1. Project Light would like to expand the scope of work for our part time, contracted Program Coordinator to make this a permanent, full time position. We also need a part time administrator to oversee the school's daily functions. Additional funding is necessary to support both positions. 2. There is a consistent need for volunteer instructors. Project Light is always working to attract and retain quality instructors as student demand often exceeds the supply of teachers. 3. We would like to expand our computer lab and associated classes (which have been implemented as a pilot), to take this program to scale, providing students with additional opportunities to gain computer literacy, as well as improve language capacity. 4. Project Light is always in need of text and work books for students and instructional books/materials for teachers; estimated costs per semester are $3,000.

In a summer of cricket that starts with a rescheduled Test series against India before a one-day series against India and England, the release of the ICC World Cup warm-up fixture has thrown up a pricing anomaly.
The World Cup, with matches spread across Australia and New Zealand, starts on February 14 with two matches – Australia's clash with England at the MCG and NZ-Sri Lanka in Christchurch.
There is also a series of lead-in matches. The 14 participating nations will each play two games, spread across four World Cup host cities – Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide and Christchurch. The matches are not full one-day internationals, with teams allowed to use 15 players, although only 11 may field at any one time.
Australia will open the warm-up games against India in a day-nighter at the Adelaide Oval on Sunday, February 8, before heading to the MCG for another day-nighter against the United Arab Emirates. The matches will be ticketed, but free, in stark contrast to the January tri-series that is also billed as a warm-up tournament.
The cheapest adult ticket to Australia's January 18 clash with India at the MCG costs $35.68. A seat at the Australia Day match involving Australia and India at the SCG comes at a minimum cost of $50.98. Even the England-India game in Perth on January 30 will cost $35.55.
Tickets to the World Cup proper are understandably more expensive. The cheapest adult ticket for the MCG opener costs $40, while a "category E" seat at the final – played in Melbourne on March 29 – is $125.
Cricket Australia organises the ticketing for the tri-series – as it does for all home series – while the World Cup matches, including the warm-ups, come under the auspices of the ICC.
In announcing the warm-up fixtures, the ICC suggested "the spectator experience will not be the same standard as at normal ODI matches". Last month's bilateral one-day series between Australia and South Africa was marred by record low attendances, with prices one of the reasons suggested for the threadbare crowds.
Just 14,177 attended the November 21 match at the MCG, after which CA chief executive James Sutherland promised an inquiry into the poor turnouts. "It's not a good crowd and it's not something we're terribly happy about," Sutherland said. "It's an unconventional time of year for us to be playing but there's a lot more to it, and we'll do our own assessments to understand that."
The only other World Cup warm-up game in Melbourne is on Friday, February 13, with the UAE taking on Afghanistan at the Junction Oval, The venue is allowed to host lead-up fixtures to an ICC event despite being deemed not up to Cricket Australia's first-class standards.
January 18: Australia v India, MCG, Tri-series - $35.68
January 26: Australia v India SCG Tri-series $50.98
February 8: Australia v India Adelaide Oval World Cup warm-up Free
February 11: Australia v UAE MCG World Cup warm-up Free
February 14: Australia v England MCG World Cup $40
March 29: Final MCG World Cup $125
Complete warm-up match schedule:
February 8: India v Australia, Adelaide Oval
February 9: South Africa v Sri Lanka, Hagley Oval, Christchurch; New Zealand v Zimbabwe, Bert Sutcliffe Oval, Christchurch; England v West Indies , SCG; Pakistan v Bangladesh, Blacktown International Sports Precinct
February 10: Ireland v Scotland, Blacktown, Sydney; India v Afghanistan , Adelaide Oval
February 11: New Zealand v South Africa, Hagley Oval, Christchurch; Sri Lanka v Zimbabwe, Bert Sutcliffe Oval, Christchurch; Australia v UAE, MCG, Melbourne; England v Pakistan, SCG

Week 7: The campaign kicks off
The first week of the campaign proper was the signal for News Corp to start its own campaign against Labor. In the course of the election, veteran journalists told me that they had never before seen anything so virulent. On the Monday the Daily Telegraph led with a front-page editorial which screamed "Kick This Mob Out".
On Thursday its front page lampooned Rudd and Albanese with a headline that stated "I Know Nuthink". On Friday the Brisbane Courier-Mail had a front-page photo of Peter Beattie, the newly endorsed candidate for Forde, with a headline that read "Send in the Clown".
The next day it ran a front-page headline "Dead Kev Bounce", while the Sydney Daily Telegraph front page screamed "Albo's Air Farce" and reproduced false claims that Albanese had let 10 Virgin flights land after curfew because they were carrying politicians.
The most damaging News Corp story that week, though, was a front-page attack in Melbourne's Herald Sun on the preselected Labor candidate for Hotham. And this was just the beginning.
These attacks were well planned, often coming at critical points in the election – three of them were either directly before or immediately after one of the televised debates and served to take attention away from Rudd's successes in those exchanges with Abbott. It was also clear that the News Corp newspapers chose to mount the most aggressive attacks in Brisbane and Sydney – where the most heavily contested seats were located.
The impact of these attacks was felt in a number of different ways:
1. They served to undermine Rudd's credibility and legitimacy.
2. They fed shock-jock radio programs, which continued throughout the day following the attacks started by the newspapers in the morning.
3. They diverted attention away from the issues we wanted to discuss. For example, on the day after the first debate News Corp papers ran a front-page headline "Stop the Notes", focused entirely on the fact that Rudd used notes in the first debate. It was a major distraction from the points Rudd was trying to make in the debate. Similarly, after the second debate the Telegraph ran a story that wrongly accused Rudd of being rude to a makeup artist on the night. Again, the headline diverted readers, TV interviewers and reporters from the real issues of the debate.
4. They allowed News Corp reporters to suggest that Rudd was off message and chaotic in his dealings with the media when, in fact, the same news organisation set up the ambushes. Invariably he would spend up to half of his press conference defending or explaining what really happened; for example, with the makeup artist.
5. They allowed Abbott to stay positive virtually all the time. He didn't have to do any attacking – News Corp was doing it for him on a daily basis.
The first week, therefore, saw Labor caught in a tight and effective pincer movement, with News Corp attacking with news stories and the Liberal party's negative advertising traducing Rudd's reputation and reminding voters of the worst of Rudd's previous time as prime minister. It was proving to be effective, too – by the end of the week Labor's vote had dropped two points to 47%.
On 7 September 2013 a remarkable period in the history of the Labor party – and, indeed, Australia – came to an end. Kevin Rudd, a good friend and a great Australian reformer, stood down from the leadership of the Labor party. For 74 remarkable days he and his small band of advisers gave it their all as they raced against time to win the election. During that period Labor went from facing political annihilation to achieving an election outcome that saw every cabinet minister returned to the parliament.
In Queensland, Labor lost just two seats by the barest of margins and in NSW the swing was less than 3%. The swings of up to 18% that had been predicted when Julia Gillard was prime minister just did not appear. In the end Labor held 55 seats. Of course, it was not a good result – only a win can be called "good" – but Rudd did what no one else could have done in those circumstances: he saved Labor. For that alone his tireless leadership deserves to be acknowledged.
However, those 74 days also saw Labor start the process of rediscovering and rebuilding itself. For too long the party had been owned by the few, not the many. This was Rudd's other remarkable achievement: the democratisation of Labor. That process commenced, but certainly did not end, when the party caucus meeting in Labor's NSW birthplace of Balmain voted to give rank-and-file branch members 50% of the vote when electing the Labor leader.
This process of internal reform is just the start – but it's a good one. Next the party must come together to increase the rank-and-file representation at party conferences to well beyond the 50% currently enjoyed by unions. It also needs to look at giving branch members an even greater say in choosing the leader.
Right now, one MP's vote is equal to the votes of about 500 branch members – that's quite a gerrymander when you think of it. Then it should extend this nascent democratisation across all the state and territory branches and to the selection of senators. When Rudd demanded that the party embrace reform he started a fire inside Labor that will not be extinguished. If the party is to survive in the long term it has no choice but to expand its membership by giving the rank and file a real say.
The other remarkable aspect of this election was the highly partisan role played by the News Corp press. With control of 70% of the nation's newspapers, from a national daily through to weekly "throwaways", News Corp is easily the most powerful political force in Australia – bigger than the major parties or the combined weight of the unions. The fact that the swings were lowest in the states where News Corp's anti-Rudd invective was at its most virulent is a welcome reflection on the maturity of the Australian people.
However, we should not use this as an argument to downplay the News Corp influence in this election. I saw how, on a daily basis, the storm of negative stories that emanated from News Corp papers blew our campaign off course. Rudd and his advisers were constantly forced to deal with stories that had nothing to do with the issues either Labor or the Liberals were pursuing.
This was the real damage those unending negative headlines in the Daily Telegraph and the Courier-Mail inflicted on our campaign. In fact, research commissioned by the Labor party during the campaign showed just how biased the News Corp press was after Col Allan returned from New York to take over its stable of newspapers. For instance, the review found that the Daily Telegraph published twice the volume of unfavourable coverage of Rudd and Labor than the Sydney Morning Herald.
This is not to say that our campaign would otherwise have been flawless – far from it. A case in point is the disastrous press conference in the second last week where Rudd and his colleagues used incorrect technical assumptions in their attack on the opposition's costings.
That error had nothing to do with News Corp and everything to do with poor policy work. In a similar vein, the three years of infighting within Labor was all our own work. The Australian public drew their own conclusions about Labor's disunity and in doing so chose to punish us and reward an opposition which managed to remain, on the surface at least, a united and disciplined machine.
So the election has been won and lost and now we look to the next generation of political leaders and activists to take Labor forward. I know better than most that electoral success and failure is cyclical – between 1998 and 2008 I was not on one losing campaign for Labor at a state or territory level. I also know, however, that this cycle can be shortened dramatically if a disciplined opposition takes the fight to the government. Now is not the time for Labor to descend into another round of recriminations – it's time to get on with the business of winning again.

Hosted Email Archiving
Mailbox Management, eDiscovery, Compliance – Are You Meeting The Challenge?
Email is one of your company's most critical assets and is projected to grow over 500 billion messages per day over the next couple of years. Not only do your employees need access to their email accounts to conduct business efficiently, you must also manage historical copies of email to comply with current regulatory requirements. And, your company requires the ability to easily place legal holds on emails and conduct efficient eDiscovery if faced with a lawsuit.
IT departments without an email archiving solution in place may find themselves spending a disproportionate amount of time and funds managing an increasing volume of email and responding to labor intensive search and retrieval requests from corporate compliance, legal, the office of the CIO, and company employees.
Symantec MessageLabs Email Archiving.cloud is a service designed to help your company address the challenges of email storage management, legal discovery, and regulatory compliance. It safely archives internal and external emails off site, while providing rapid, on-demand access to your emails after they have been archived.
The service's key components combine secure single instance storage for your emails with quick and easy search and retrieval. Internal and external email communications are automatically captured and transmitted to be stored in redundant off-site data centers.
End users can search and restore emails in their personal archives via Microsoft Outlook or through a secure web-based interface that delivers rapid search results. Administrators can search globally or they can delegate limited access to other users.

Little Hands on the Farm
Little Hands on the Farm teaches children the importance of agriculture and how it affects their daily lives in a fun and interactive way. Children ages 2 to 10 become farmers at this free, hands-on exhibit. Children obtain a gathering basket and proceed along a path that includes a garden, grain bin, apple orchard, chicken coop, tractor shed, sheep barn and dairy barn. After gathering particular items along the way they get the chance to sell these items at the Little Hands on the Farm Farmers' Market for a Little Hands dollar to spend at the Grocery Store for such items as a piece of fruit, a granola bar or an ice cream sandwich. The last tour leaves the Start Barn at 7:30 p.m.
Volunteering at Little Hands on the Farm
We're looking for volunteers to help out with this year's Fair.

|RE: Get rid of 8080 port in Tomcat 3.3
|Wed, 21 Feb 2007 23:26:55 GMT
Hi > That's the way You should go: > http://www.linux.org.mt/article/tomcat-ports I totally disagree. First, it would surely be best to update to 6.0 and run it using jsvc.... However, let's look at the solution in the link above. 1. "The Apache solution". (Which should be called the "httpd" solution.) This will work, and might be okay, if you are already running apache on that system. BUT tomcat itself can be faster (at least newer ones, I don't know about 3.x) without httpd. 2. The IP tables solution You webapplication will not know about the different port and encode urls incorrecly. Bad Idea and impossible if SSL is required. 3. The rinetd solution Good for development and tests. Adds a little overhead AND destroy a lot of logging and security, as tomcat will always see ONE client ip. 4. IPchains alternative see 2. UPGRADE. Otherwise get jsvc to work for you. Regards, Steffen

The Rangers will most likely have to wait until next week for Pavel Bure to make his season debut. Bure was told he had strep throat yesterday, a day before the Rangers' home opener tonight against the Montreal Canadiens.
Bure, who scored 12 goals in 12 games with the Rangers last season, sat out the Rangers' 4-1 victory at Carolina on Wednesday night because he felt ill.
Meanwhile, Ronald Petrovicky, the 25-year-old forward the Rangers claimed from Calgary during the N.H.L. waiver draft last Friday, joined the team yesterday after clearing up visa problems.Continue reading the main story

Very nice car, also comfortable, sporty. Not quite as loaded , but well appointed. Felt firm and luxurious.

2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 350 Luxury ReviewCarGurus https://www.cargurus.com
Fell in love with this car the moment I test drove it. It handles well, has comfortable, roomy seating whether in the front or the backseats and drives amazingly well. The interior is quiet and changing gears is effortless; the only drawbacks I found were that the entertainment system has a bit of a learning curve, the economy feature that turns the engine off can be annoying if youre just stopping for a stop sign or a quick light. Overall a high quality car worth the price.
vs2014 BMW 3 Series 328i Sedan
2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 350 Luxury winning categories:
Back Seats Ranked 2014 BMW 3 Series 328i Sedan worse.
"The E350 is longer and roomier than the 328; while the BMWs back seats are fine, if youre over 6 feet tall it will start to wear thin after a few minutes of sitting where the E350 you can settle in for a long road trip without any pressure on your knees."
Value Ranked 2014 BMW 3 Series 328i Sedan worse.
"I test drove both the E350 and the 328i and while both are fine cars that I would be happy driving, the E350 is just a more powerful car with more features and space. It costs more but the additions just make it more worthwhile if youre going for a luxury sedan."
2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class ReviewCarGurus https://www.cargurus.com
This automobile is in a class all of its own. My salesman told me that the tires were only rated for 130 mph. Yeah, sure. Well, my car will gladly do 130 and handle like 70. I have the coupe and there is no pillar between the front glass and backseat glass. What a wicked look! This is my 2nd MB and as you can tell by my review I love it.

After dinner the group heads back to old town for some night life. They catch the end of some live music outside the Bell Tower, and then head over to a little side bar where they end up drinking a surprising amount of wine that puts them down for the evening. It's good to get a decent night's sleep, as Paul, Amanda, Andrew and Kathryn have sea kayaking scheduled for the next morning.

For those who asked a gaggle of psychic visitors if it is probable to "learn" their capabilities, lots of would let you know "Absolutely not! A clairvoyant asknow psychic reviews reader is born, not made!" and those together with the "gift" will be the only types who can seriously entry the psychic source.
Effectively, they are partially appropriate; it really is legitimate the majority psychics inherit the "gift" from the father or mother, given that research demonstrate the reward is generally passed down from just one generation on the up coming, however the debate about whether or not one can discover how to be psychic carries on.
When you appear online, you will see many psychic instruction educational facilities exist. Most declare to show learners how you can perform correct psychic readings. Conferences, seminars, and mind-training faculties all provide courses that enable people discover their innate psychic qualities, although not everyone can ideal these expertise.
In keeping with research by paranormal psychologists, the real "psychic source" has its roots from the subconscious mind. Our unconscious is definitely the repository for many of the information and facts we obtain from our day-to-day experiences, and all of the impressions made on our mindful thoughts. Though this information and facts is frequently only accessible inside our desires, psychic readers can obtain this bank of data in our subconscious and interpret it at will. Their interpretations can glean by far the most suitable information and facts, and "decode" its this means to assist customers with circumstances that happen to be taking place at the time in their examining.
Some psychic visitors also think from the "super mindful mind", or perhaps a better degree of psychic supply, that may only be attained by somebody with clairvoyant psychic gifts. By advantage of this inherent reward, a lot of feel that these psychic viewers can connect with spirits of your deceased, angels, spirit guides, and astral bodies, on behalf in their consumers.
So, you might question, can someone seriously discover how to come to be an accurate psychic reader? The answer to this problem is just not that clear-cut. It relies upon on each individual person, their all-natural intuitive presents, as well as their amount of discipline. And it can be not all about thoughts education either; some physiological functions may enable sharpen your psychic abilities.
Typically recognised because the "third eye", the pineal gland has long been affiliated with clairvoyant psychic expertise. If designed to their entire possible, certain chakras throughout the pineal and pituitary glands, and also the spinal twine, are known to unleash psychic energies. Selected types of meditation and various physical or psychological disciplines can awaken the dormant potential of those chakras, enabling someone to "see" past the actual physical universe and interpret the entire world about them within an completely new way.
Should you are interested in whether you may grow to be a clairvoyant psychic reader, a number of on-line exams are available that can assess your inborn psychic expertise. When these skills are developed, they could manifest by themselves into a specialised psychic expertise.

A spokesman said he would be having talks with Kurdish leaders and would be in the region "for a few days".
But the Foreign Office would reveal nothing else of Mr Straw's plans citing security reasons.
The Kurdish region of Iraq has traditionally enjoyed a high degree of autonomy and its leaders have been among the most consistent supporters of the coalition.
Its people suffered brutality at the hands of Saddam Hussein's regime with the dictator infamously using chemical weapons against them at Halabjah.
Mr Straw's visit comes at a time of mounting bloodshed in Iraq in the run-up to elections scheduled for January.
He would be a prime assassination target for insurgents.
Mr Straw is visiting Kirkuk and Irbil, the Foreign Office said later.
Aides said it was a "long-planned" visit to discuss a wide range of issues, focusing on the reconstruction effort and plans for elections in January.
It is Mr Straw's third visit to Iraq and his first to the north of the country.
His previous visits, in July and October last year, took in Baghdad and Basra.

From what I know of Big Pharma, I'm not really surprised. Companies are frequently given a mild slap on the hand and get off with a promise to report themselves for breaking any more regulations. And knowing Mitt Romney's worship of the marketplace, of course he doesn't want to regulate businesses, so that doesn't surprise me, either. But you'd think that one or two of the mainstream media might want to point this out for the people who don't already know:
The fatal meningitis epidemic sweeping the United States can now be traced to the failure of then-Gov. Mitt Romney to adequately regulate the Massachusetts pharmaceutical company that is being blamed for the deaths.
At least 344 people in 18 states have been infected by the growing public health crisis and 25 have died so far.
But the epidemic may also play a role in the presidential campaign, now that state records reveal that a Massachusetts regulatory agency found that the New England Compounding Co., the pharmaceutical company tied to the epidemic, repeatedly failed to meet accepted standards in 2004 — but a reprimand was withdrawn by the Romney administration in apparent deference to the company's business interests.
"It goes all the way up to Mitt Romney," said Alyson Oliver, a Michigan attorney representing victims of the outbreak. According to Oliver, on at least six occasions, NECC was cited by authorities for failure to meet regulatory standards and almost subjected to a three-year probation. "It goes directly to the heart of what Romney says about regulation, 'Hands off. Let the companies do their thing.'"
"When the person who is supposed to be in charge of oversight does not believe oversight is necessary, this is what happens," Oliver added.
"The philosophy of the Romney administration was to have lax regulations across the board," Philip Johnston, a former secretary of health and human services in Massachusetts before the Romney administration, told Salon. "It speaks volumes about the tragic outcome of Romney's view on regulatory issues. There are two dozen people who died needlessly. It was clearly the responsibility of the company to protect them, but it was also the responsibility of the government at various levels, and, as far as I'm concerned, they failed."
On Oct. 28, Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., called for "a full investigation" into the regulatory issues that led to the epidemic. "There's a regulatory black hole here," he said, "but the full assessment of responsibility, state to federal, is ongoing. We need to know everything."
The owners of NECC have made campaign donations both to Romney and to Massachusetts Republican senatorial candidate Scott Brown, Salon has learned.

The paper reports an experimental study of die-casting dies with conformal cooling fabricated by direct-metal additive techniques. The main objective is to compare the benefits and limitations of the application to what has been widely discussed in literature in the context of plastics injection molding. Selective laser melting was used to fabricate an impression block with conformal cooling channels designed according to part geometry with the aid of process simulation. The tool was used in the manufacture of sample batches of zinc alloy castings after being fitted on an existing die in place of a machined impression block with conventional straight-line cooling channels. Different combinations of process parameters were tested to exploit the improved performance of the cooling system. Test results show that conformal cooling improves the surface finish of castings due to a reduced need of spray cooling, which is allowed by a higher and more uniform cooling rate. Secondary benefits include reduction of cycle time and shrinkage porosity.

Chapter 1 Part 2
As he looked up to grab his cup of coffee, she walked across his peripheral vision and sat down at one of the tables with her friends. Anna Vidalus, blonde, achingly beautiful and for Matt very literally the girl next door. His cup of coffee was forgotten until he saw Anna turn her head and her friends started laughing as he looked slightly to the left as if he had been staring out at space rather then at her.
It was at this moment that her idiot boyfriend, (an Arts Major) doing the easiest degree needed to satisfy the academic requirements of his sports scholarship, chose to make his entrance as he took the seat next to Anna and gave her a rather indecent kiss much to the approval and cooing of her friends.
Scott Dunn, the afore mentioned idiot boyfriend broke off the deep kiss and while he appeared to blush at finally noticing Anna's friends he turned his head and gloated with a unkind grin toward Matt, who decided to leave at that point and started hurriedly putting his things back into his satchel so he could leave. Scott then turned back to Anna and asked her how her day had been, as Matt hurried past their table towards the parking lot.
Jenna snickered and said, "That guy is so pathetic, you'd think after all these years he'd have given up that idiotic crush." Scott's eyes blazed for a moment and Anna after directing a shut up glare toward Jenna turned back to Scott and with a smile said, "I'm in class the rest of the day, what have you got planned?"
Scott leaned back and said, "Nothing much babe, me and the guys are probably going to hang out, and then head to practise around six this evening. So I won't be able to see you again today, we still on for the weekend?" Anna thought for a moment and then nodded, Scott smiled and with a final smooch got up and nodded to his boys. "Come on lads, let's go."
Scott left Anna and after they got around the corner he said in a soft but menacing tone, "I wanna pay that little soldier boy a visit before he leaves." They continued walking to the side of the building and then slipped down a thoroughfare and over the ring road and into the student carpark where they could see Matt was almost to his car.
Scott turned his head slightly so his voice would project backwards and said, "Last week's game winner boys," and Scott and another mate split off right, while a third moved around to encircle Matt from behind. The remaining two approached in plain sight, and appeared non-threatening.
The two called, "Matt wait up." As they got closer, Matt let his guard down a little as the two approached without Scott, as they said, "We wanted to talk to you about a tutoring gig for the multi-strand science units we have to do this semester. We know you and Scott don't get on, anyone you can recommend? We'd pay you a finders fee of course."
The lie they fed him had some truth in it, and like all good lies sprinkled with the truth, this one provoked a guarded, but accepting reaction. They chatted as the rest of the group moved quietly into position, and as the two reached a compromise on a student that would help them, Matt heard a quiet scuff behind his car. Matt might have been a little on the trusting side, but he knew an ambush when he heard one and his training kicked in.
All Army Under-Grad Officer trainee's did portions of their military training during the University holiday breaks, and luckily for his sake last semester's training was all about ambushes. When ambushed by a force of unknown number, the only option is to turn, punch through the first line of contact and flank the rest of the ambushing force. Leaving the rest scrambling after you, instead of them keeping you in their kill zone.
That's exactly what Matt did, and in this case his first point of contact was the two who had distracted him. He pitched forward like he was going to fall while allowing his knees to fold a little and then at the point of no return explosively lept forward while putting his shoulder behind a power punch at the one on the left's solar plexius.
As he landed from the spring he just managed to get his legs back under him and dodged Alex's grasping hands as he took off to the left, crouch running behind cars as the man who had circled behind him ran just out in front of him he stood up and threw his right arm out at the guy's throat, coat hangering him before he took off running down the carpark.
Matt was moderately fit, fit enough to pass the Army's entrance physical. But he wasn't an athlete who trained five days a week, including sprinting drills and in short order the rest of the pack pulled him down, and dragged him by the shoulders back to his Car where Scott and Alex's brother Ben who was still down and lay gasping for air.
Scott was furious that Matt had nearly gotten away and laid two of his boys out. And as his two friends forced Matt to his knees infront of Scott, he stepped closer and said, "You're going to wish you hadn't done that." He grabbed Matt by the hair and pulled back his fist and with a downward punch drove his fist into Matt's jaw.
Matt looked up again, tasting blood as he said, "Is that all you've got you gutless bastard. Send your fudge-packing friends to do your dirty work." At this Scott hit Matt in the stomach winding him as his mates dropped him onto the pavement and those who could pounded on him with their fists and feet. After they'd satisfied themselves that they'd given him a good kicking Scott knelt down beside Matt and said, "She's my girl, it's about time you accept that."
How long Matt laid there for, he didn't know. His muscles refused to do anything but scream at him in pain, he was too bloodied and bruised to do anything about it though. He phased in and out of conciousness on the hot blue chip parking lot, almost willing himself to die to escape his battered body, until he heard a gasp and looked up, he wondered for a moment if he had died. Anna's blonde hair was highlighted with a corona that looked remarkably like a halo in the rays of the dying sun. That sight was the last image he had before he passed out again.

Henry Robert Beasley, jockey and racehorse trainer: born London 26 August 1935; twice married; died Hastings, East Sussex 9 January 2008
In the hefty archive of horseracing's unlikely comebacks, from National Velvet to Aldaniti, the story of the jockey Bobby Beasley was perhaps the most heartwarming of them all. Beasley was a member of one of Ireland's most decorated racing families, the name of which is woven intricately into the history of great races across generations, and the chapters he added were both tragic and euphoric.
Beasley succumbed totally to alcoholism at the pinnacle of his glittering career as a National Hunt jockey. He had never taken a drink until the age of 24, but later recalled that, after winning the Galway Plate steeplechase in 1960, he was persuaded into trying it. "It spiralled from there," he recounted. He lost a wonderful job with one of the all-time great racehorse trainers, Fred Winter. Then he had to watch as the horses he would have ridden continued to accumulate major races.
Jockeyship of a high order was in Bobby Beasley's blood. His great-uncle, Tommy, was twice champion of Ireland, won the Grand National at Aintree three times and beat the legendary Flat jockey Fred Archer in the Irish Derby; Bobby's grandfather Harry trained and rode the 1891 Grand National winner Come Away; his great-uncles Jack and Willie rode in the Grand National; and his father, "HH" Beasley, and uncle Willie both rode Classic winners in England.
Beasley used to recount a near-magical story of how, when his grandfather finally gave in to pressure from his wife and daughter to convert to Catholicism he agreed on one condition – that he would do so on the day he shot a white blackbird. One morning thereafter, he took aim at a white dove from his bedroom window. When his wife went to retrieve the prey, she discovered it was an albino blackbird. The bird was stuffed and displayed at home, "and many's the time I've called it names and cursed it for changing our way of life," Beasley said later.
Prior to his battle with the bottle, Beasley had ridden his way to a tremendous reputation, winning the Cheltenham Gold Cup, the pinnacle of steeplechasing, in 1959 on a horse called Roddy Owen. Records relate that talented as he was, Roddy Owen was quixotic, with his own way of doing things. So it was with Beasley. His skills were readily evident to those watching races in Ireland in the late 1950s.
Beasley took high rank as a three-time champion jockey. His first title, in 1958, came three years after his first success as a professional and was retained in each of the next two seasons. Two years after his Gold Cup win, Beasley took the mount on the grey outsider Nicolaus Silver in the 1961 Grand National. That Beasley was denied in his wish to switch to another runner, Jonjo, and that Nicolaus Silver was targeted by dopers, in the shape of a fragrant French lady visiting the stables of the trainer Fred Rimell, only added to the unlikely nature of the success.
Sandwiched between Roddy Owen and Nicolaus Silver was Another Flash, on which Beasley won another of Cheltenham's flagship races, the Champion Hurdle, in 1960 for his main trainer, Paddy Sleator. That year Beasley married Shirley, a daughter of Arthur Thompson, who had won the Grand National on Sheila's Cottage in 1948 and Teal four years later. But the drink did for Beasley's marriage, as well as his job. He retired as a jockey in 1969.
Only when his friend Nicky Rackard urged him to attend Alcoholics Anonymous was a corner turned. Though winning races would be only one measure of Beasley's recovery, it would show the world that he had the willpower to defeat a pernicious foe. One day at Leopardstown in February 1971, at the age of 35, he stepped in at short notice for the injured Francis Shortt and marked his return with a victory on Norwegian Flag. The following spring, he added the Irish Sweeps Hurdle on Captain Christy and then, in a crowning moment scripted in Hollywood, won the Cheltenham Gold Cup for a second time.
Riding Captain Christy for the trainer Pat Taaffe, Beasley ranged alongside Ron Barry on the Dikler only to land steeply over the final fence. His lead was lost, but the old black-and-white footage shows Beasley the more dynamic, natural rider recovering the lost ground to attain victory.
Beasley retired for a second time and turned to training in England with his second wife, Linda, at Lewes and Marlborough. He also ran a pub and worked in a vineyard. He would come down into the pub each morning, look up at the optics and say, "You little bastards, you thought you were going to get me, but you didn't."

Fort Knox, an Impregnable Monument to Security Theater - Bloomberg

To save this post, select a stash from drop-down menu or type in a new one:
What a great punchline:
Roosevelt used the construction of the vault to create an impression of permanence and solidity that his other actions undercut: Fort Knox appeared to protect the nation's gold precisely at a time when that gold had lost its "redemptive" function. It was a masterful example of politics as theater.
