One again features the titular serial killer himself with Mrs. Lovett while the other captures another the image of Anthony Hope.
Well, it's obvious that Warner Bros. Pictures is doing its best to promote Tim Burton-directed "Sweeney Todd." Just few days after publishing some new movie stills from the film, the studio has now posted two more of them on the net.
Courtesy of /Film, both photos continue to employ dark, gloomy atmosphere as the previously-launched pictures. One again features Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter together as the titular character and Mrs. Lovett while the other gives us another look at Jamie Campbell Bower as Anthony Hope.
An adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's Broadway musical based on Christopher Bond's 1973 play of the same title, "Todd" is slated to open in theaters nationwide December this year on date 21. Footage from the picture was recently showcased at Burton's gala tribute at New York's Lincoln Center held Wednesday, November 14, 2007.

The MK V watch from Storm London is refreshingly gorgeous: a simple copper and black shell, with the face obscured by a throwing-star-shaped metallic sphincter which opens and shuts like the jet age occulus of a Bond villain's lair. The finish comes in black, slate or rose gold, and it retails for about $180.

Hi. I am wanting to hook up the scoops on my 1970 formula hood to the ram air cleaner that comes stock on the 1970 formulas. I have an Edelbrock performer carb and it won't let the aircleaner sit down because of the fuel inlet. I want to get rid of the Edelbrock and P4B intake and get an OEM stock intake and a quadrajet that will work with the dual snorkel 1970 ram air cleaner and hood. What quadrajet do I need to get to work with this setup?
Franks Pontiac parts has several Q-jets available.. a bit pricey but it'll take all the guess work out of it.http://www.frankspontiacparts.com/engineparts/pontiacengineparts.htm
i think it depends on your engine size and specs, as long as the fittings are correct on the carb than the cfm is what matters. most if not all early jets are the same height and inlet location. do not get one with a u channel in front underneath. this is a 73 and later carb.

Indian Economy could have grown by over 5.5% in Q2: Moody's
The country's GDP numbers for July-September quarter is scheduled to be announced next week on November 30.
New Delhi: Rating agency Moody's on Thursday said Indian economy is expected to have grown by little more than 5.5 percent in last quarter, and an initial spike in investor sentiment after recent reforms has faded and the "reality of India's deep-seated structural problems" has begun to set in.
The reforms proposed by the government may help reduce the key risks facing the economy but cannot lift the near-term outlook, Moody's said, while adding that the economy is growing well below its long-term potential.
It, however, said that the growth rate could be near the bottom of its current downward cycle.
The country's GDP numbers for July-September quarter is scheduled to be announced next week on November 30.
Moody's said that the growth rate for that quarter could be "a little more than 5.5 percent year-on-year, roughly the same as in the first two quarters (of calendar year 2012) but substantially below where GDP was 12 months ago."
"This underscores the economy's challenges, and it will be a while before GDP growth is back at its trend rate. Our outlook is for a steady upturn in growth across the coming quarters before growth finally hits potential by the second half of 2014," Moody's said.
India had been growing around 8-9 percent before the global financial meltdown of 2008. The growth rate in 2011-12 slipped to a nine-year low of 6.5 percent.
Finance Minister P Chidambaram has said India's economy should expand by 5.5-6 per cent this fiscal.
"Recent economic data have been broadly in line with expectations," Moody's said and added that the corporate sector remains the weakest pocket of the economy.
"The corporate sector remains the weakest pocket of the economy, with sentiment weighed down by external weakness and, more important, the Congress-led government's cack-handed management and policy making in its second term," it added.
Going forward, the third quarter GDP forecast is likely to be slightly better than the June quarter driven by industrial production, which was a little better in the three months to September along with some slightly better trade figures.
"Better industrial production figure, along with some slightly better trade figures, lifts our third quarter GDP forecast above that from the June quarter, but not by much, and anything with a '5' at the front of it must be considered disappointing," it added.
Moody's further said that the initial bounce in investor sentiment following the announcement of economic reforms has faded, and the reality of India's deep-seated structural problems has begun to set in.
In the two months to October the Sensex rose 15 percent and the rupee up 8 percent against the US dollar. But the Sensex has dipped in recent weeks, while the currency has given back most of the recent gains.

HistoryFrom the 1990's Lance Otto has had a dream to build a steam powered paddle boat. A dream inspired by his love of steam power, traditional river boats and engineering. Now 79 years old, Lance's dream is coming together.
Lance began the project in the late 1990's after consultation with steam engineer J.L Walkley of Adelaide. Stage one was the construction of the boiler, followed by the rebuilding of a twin cylinder steam winch engine.
Lance's original concept was to build a tradition timber steamer using River Redgum, The most common eucalypt growing along the banks of the Murray River in Southern Australia. Lance's son Paul, a Murray River skipper with some boat building experience, offered to build the boat but insisted that it be constructed from Aluminium rather than timber.
In late 2007, Paul completed a set of concept drawings for a 15 metre vessel and spent the next 8 months working with naval architect Adam Schwetz in Western Australia who computer modelled the vessel and eventually supplied the Otto's with a full set of plans.
In mid August 2008, the kit arrived from One Steel in Western Australia with 7 tonne of computer cut aluminium. Once all of the components had been unpacked and checked, construction began in early September 2008.
At the time of writing, (July 2009), the vessel is 80% complete and awaiting installation of the steam engine, paddle shaft and paddles. Launch date is expected to be about October 2009.
The vessel is a traditional work boat with minimal accommodation and will be used for general maintenance and towing work on the Murray River.
We will endeavour to update this site regularly with new pictures and progress reports.
We would love to hear from other steam boat enthusiasts both in Australia and overseas. We can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com

Run Flat replacement?
Hello everyone,
This is my first post on Bimmerfest and I'm happy I found this forum!!
I recently had a nail on my runflat on my 328 Sports wagon and took it to the BMW dealer. They told me to replace the entire tire. The nail went straight in and I thought they could patch it.
Are they right with replacing the tire (I'm aware of the legal issues) or could they have patched it? Does anyone have the same experience??
Virginia Beach
Welcome to Bimmerfest! I've moved your thread over to the wheel and tire forum. Our resident expert Gary from the Tire Rack should be able to answer your question.
Replacing Run Flat Tire
Although I believe a full replacement is recommended, I have had a couple of run flats on my cars repaired after a nail puncture with no problems afterward. It may depend where on the tire the nail punctured it. Dealers will always tell you to replace them.
You will find tons of discussion on this topic with a quick search. :google:
Generally speaking: A bunch of people have successfully patched a RFT tire when the puncture was well away from the sidewalls and they didn't drive on the tire while flat. The last bit is important since it damages the sidewall. Major tire chains and dealers will not patch RFT tires due to liability since they have no way to really know if the sidewall is damaged. You may have more success at small/independent tire shops.
run flat tires cannot be used if it is flat? Is that an oxymoron?
In case it's the latter: Of course you can drive on a run flat tire. Just realize that by doing so you're lessening the chances of finding a place willing to patch the tire.

Thanks Sisa and Medussa
I think that the Castor Oil makes it more shiny looking. It is heavy so a little goes a very long way.
I have 2 curly headed daughters with very long hair - one mid back unstretched and the other waist length unstretched. I am so glad that I've learned how to care for curly hair - they won't have to endure what I did.
I'll add their pics when I post my Ouidad haircut picks.
Edited to add:
I have addded a pic to my album of my 2 girls from '04 to show length. They probably have 4-6 more inches of unstretched hair now.

IPad 3 to Run on Verizon, AT&T LTE Networks; Apple Reportedly Making 8-Inch iPad
Tiffany Kaiser

(Source: blogcdn.com)
AT&T and Verizon are likely working to boost demand for their ultra-fast LTE networks by offering a new 4G-enabled iPad
As the introduction of the iPad 3 nears, it's iPad-mania as usual. Many are wondering what the new device will feature and what's next in the Apple line of gadgets.
The Wall Street Journal
has now answered both of those questions, reporting that the iPad 3 will run on
4G networks
and that Apple is currently working on an iPad with a smaller screen.
It has been confirmed that AT&T and Verizon Wireless will both sell a version of the iPad 3 that has 4G capabilities. Both AT&T and Verizon are currently the only two carriers who sell the iPad.
At this point, it's uncertain if other carriers like Sprint Nextel Corp. or
T-Mobile USA
will also sell the new iPad.
AT&T and Verizon are likely working to boost demand for their ultra-fast LTE networks by offering a new 4G-enabled iPad. Carriers typically prefer that customers use LTE networks because they're 50 percent more efficient than 3G networks, according to Verizon. The latest LTE networks are just capable of handling data traffic more easily than 3G networks.
Verizon's LTE network covers approximately 200 million people while AT&T's LTE network covered 74 million people at the end of 2011. AT&T is working to cover 80 percent of the population in 2013.
The iPad 3 will test both carriers' LTE networks come March, as Apple plans to
introduce the new gadget at an event during the first week of next month
In addition to new iPad 3 features trickling into the news, Apple has some other iPad-related plans up its sleeve. According to
The Wall Street Journal
, Apple is working on creating an iPad with a smaller screen.
The iPad and iPad 2 both rocked a 9.7-inch screen. While the iPad 2 was about 33 percent thinner and 15 percent lighter than the original, the screen size remained the same. This was likely because former Apple CEO Steve Jobs once said that the 9.7-inch screen was the smallest possible size required to
house top-of-the-line apps
However, other tablet makers have proved otherwise. For instance, Samsung sells its Galaxy Tab in three different screen sizes, including 7 inches, 8.9 inches and 10.1 inches. Also, Amazon's Kindle Fire tablet has a 7-inch screen and has become one of the most popular tablets on the market (likely because of the $199 price tag, but the ultra-portable 7-inch feature hasn't generated any criticism either).
With competitors making smaller-screen options for customers, it appears Apple may be working to do the same. The tech giant is currently collaborating with
component suppliers in Asia
to test an 8-inch iPad.
For now, many reports are saying that the iPad 3 will have the same 9.7-inch screen as the previous two, but an 8-inch version could make an appearance later on. A smaller iPad could potentially make the device a bit more affordable and competitive with the likes of the $199 Kindle Fire, making the purchase of an iPad a more attainable effort.

Adding their own dialogue, barrage of witty remarks, and an occasional colorful skit, the next hour and a half will fly by like it was only 90 minutes.

Commentary: Tax Hike Aimed at New York?
New York, NY —
Today's Republican Congress is known for tax cuts, not tax hikes. But WNYC's Brian Lehrer says a tax bill passed by the House this week could mean a big income tax increase in 2007 aimed squarely at New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
LEHRER: At issue is something called the Alternative Minimum Tax, a good idea that may be about to go terribly bad. The Alternative Minimum Tax, or AMT, was first enacted in the late 1960s to stop the richest few Americans from weaseling out of their income tax burden. It required that these very high earners pay a certain minimum income tax even if they had enough clever tax shelters to bring their bill to zero. So far so good.
But the Alternative Minimum Tax law has a problem. It was not indexed for inflation. Therefore, says Robert Bixby of the bipartisan deficit hawk group The Concord Coalition…
BIXBY: So as the economy grows and incomes grow, more and more people who certainly don't consider themselves fat cats or tax evaders get subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax.
LEHRER: So for example, someone with an annual income considered sky high in 1969 – say, $75-thousand - could soon be subject to the tax even though that same income is considered middle class today, especially around here, given the cost of living. People making that little could become ineligible for the dependent child tax credit and lose a lot of their home mortgage interest deduction, two staples of pro-family, pro-homeowner American tax law.
This week, the House by a near unanimous vote agreed to delay the AMT's bracket creep by one year. But don't be fooled. The original version of the House bill would have meant an income tax hike for most married couples with two children making as little as 75-thousand a year. In other words, an income tax hike for middle class families, even as tax cuts for the rich were being made permanent. And some House conservatives WANT it to do exactly that – to soak the middle class - for ideological reasons.
On my weekday call-in show this week, tax specialist Dan Mitchell from the conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation told us he'd like to abolish the Alternative Minimum Tax altogether. But in the meantime, he's glad this tax will hit states with Democratic majorities like New York, New Jersey and Connecticut particularly hard, right in their middle class hearts.
MITCHELL: And so you will find more voters being hit by this tax in Hollywood and Manhattan than anwhere in the country. And that's of course precisely why you have seen Democrats like Schumer and Rangel and Hillary Clinton screaming bloody murder about it. I'm amused by the sort of born-again tax-cutting that we're seeing out of some of these people who've never met a tax increase they didn't like.
LEHRER: Does that mean Mitchell and some of his ideology-mates in the House want to purposely overtax the middle class in democratic-leaning states to generate more support for tax cuts for the rich – what he calls tax reform? In a burst of ideological candor, Mitchell admitted that is precisely the idea:
MITCHELL: I have no doubt that Republicans on the hill are seeing this as a nice problem in that it's going to create a lot of animosity to the tax code and it might be just the kind of thing that brings Democrats to the table to talk about fundamental tax reform.
BRIAN: Like Dan Mitchell, President Bush's tax reform panel has proposed ending the alternative minimum tax altogether, including on the very rich. So while the House may have voted 414-4 this week to delay the AMT debate, it will be back next year. If you're a middle class taxpayer, be prepared.

Denyse O'Leary still doesn't get it. Although if she is correct in claiming that Charles Walcott willfully ignored the implications of the Burgess Shale, which he discovered, then there might be an appropriate criticism to be made. But given that he gathered tens of thousands of specimens and returned to the site repeatedly, he was hardly interested in covering up his discoveries. Rather, he may perhaps (if Stephen Jay Gould is correct) have imposed the categories of known phyla on the fossils, rather than proposing that they were new ones. But this, if anything, shows the power of prevailing paradigms, and the dangers of compartmentalization in the sciences and the academy more generally (perhaps a biologist would have more quickly realized these were new phyla than this paleontologist did).
But the utter irony is that O'Leary is criticizing an individual scientist for doing what young-earth creationists and proponents of intelligent design do as a rule, consistently, all the time, namely refusing to take seriously the evidence against their views, and allowing their views to be shaped by older paradigms that have been replaced in mainstream science by ones that better fit the evidence.
If only O'Leary had learned the basics of Christian humility, perhaps she would have recalled when writing this the old childhood lesson that whenever you point the finger at someone else, you have three fingers pointing back at you. Instead she directs criticism at others that applies as well if not better to the movement for which she is a spokesperson.

Hey there! I'm back on U.S. soil after two eventful and amazing weeks in Iceland and Sweden. The past month has just been a complete blur. One minute we were saying farewell to all our Cape Cod workshop attendees, and then it seemed like I blinked and found myself in the Reykjavik airport, semi-delirious from a sleepless red-eye flight and so thankful to have found Eva within five seconds of exiting Customs. I blinked again and we were laughing and eating with a wonderful group of ladies on the shore of a beautiful lake in the Swedish countryside, and then in a flash I was home in Vermont. I can't wait to share all of those adventures with you guys in the near future. But first, it's time for berry-filled dutch babies and details about another upcoming workshop!
I'm very excited to announce that registration is open for the First We Eat photography, styling, and truffle foraging workshop in Croatia this fall! We'll be staying in an absolutely gorgeous old stone farmhouse-turned-restored villa (complete with a pool, hammocks, and a beautiful view of Motovun) located in the heart of Istrian wine and truffle country. In addition to photography and styling lessons, we'll be going on lots of fun excursions, including truffle foraging guided by a neighbor, a visit to a beekeeper, and a trip to the town of Hum (the smallest town in the world!) and a picnic in Porec. It's going to be an amazing time, and we'd love to have you join us! Head on over to the event page to read more details, register, and see lots of pictures of the villa!
So ok, let's talk about this dutch baby. I'll be honest, I missed the dutch baby craze that happened years ago. Well, I didn't really miss it, I saw it happening. I just never made one. And now that it's not really cool anymore, I decided to give it a try several months ago. Guess what—(you don't have to guess, you probably already know)—they're delicious. I've since made a number of them, both sweet and savory, but this is one of my favorites. We made a version of this for breakfast at our Cape Cod workshop, and it was a big hit. It manages to be both hearty and summery, between the warm gingerbread-y spices and all the strawberries dotted with basil. I like to do a mix of cooked and fresh strawberries to get the best of both worlds. And topping it with Vermont Creamery's vanilla crème fraîche is a must. (I think we've turned pretty much every U.S. workshop attendee into a crème fraîche addict at this point.) It's deliciously tangy with a hint of decadence, and almost takes this into dessert territory, in the best way possible. You could honestly probably even serve this as a dessert, but you should really eat it for breakfast. Because dessert for breakfast rules.
(Also, if you're curious about the super gorgeous skillet, it's from Finex! This is the 12″ one, but you can get them in several sizes.)
Strawberry Gingerbread Dutch Baby with Vanilla Crème Fraîche
(adapted from The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook)
serves: 4
4 eggs
2 tbsp dark brown sugar
2/3 cup flour
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1 tbsp Vermont Creamery vanilla crème fraîche
2/3 cup whole milk
3 tbsp Vermont Creamery cultured butter
1 quart of strawberries or a little less, sliced and divided
1/3 cup sliced almonds, divided
a few leaves of basil, cut into thin ribbons
additional Vermont Creamery vanilla crème fraîche, for serving
Preheat the oven to 400°. Crack eggs into a food processor and blend for around 2 minutes, until the mixture is very smooth and pale in color. Add the sugar, flour, spices, 1 tbsp of crème fraîche, and milk, and continue to blend until the mixture is once again very smooth.
Place the 3 tbsp of butter in a 12″ cast iron or other oven-safe skillet. Place the skillet in the oven for 5 minutes, or until the butter has melted and begun to brown. Remove the skillet from the oven and swirl the butter around to coat the bottom and sides. Pour the batter into the pan and return it to the oven.
Bake for about 7 minutes, then sprinkle half of the strawberries and almonds onto the batter. Continue to bake until the batter has climbed the sides of the pan and the edges are golden brown, approximately another 15–20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and top with the remaining strawberries, almonds, and basil. Cut into slices and serve topped with vanilla crème fraîche.

XML Marker
It automatically produces a tabular display of any selected tag by collecting repeating attribute and tag names and then arranging them into columns. The result is a clutter-free and informative tabular display.
The implementation is very efficient in memory and CPU resources so you can quickly navigate through very large XML files – up to about 500 megabytes.
More features include table sorting, syntax-highlighting editor, automatic indentation/pretty-printing of exiting code, drill down, as-you-type syntax checking, bookmarks, convert to spreadsheet, Branch Selector, non-collapsing editing and more.
XML Marker have full internationalization support with both Unicode/utf-8 and code page encoding.

Interesting UI and simple to use.
Fast and nicely done, however when set as default XML editor in folder options the editor will not open XML fie from the Flight Simulator gauge viewer. Come up with \"can\'t find C:\\Documents\" error. Other XML editors set as default work fine.
Text replace has a bug: If you replace s1 with s2 where s1 is a substring of s2, it goes (obviously) into a endless recursion.
Nice editor! I would like to see Ctrl+Home (go to the beginning) and Ctrl+End(got to the end of the document) supported. When selected text is deleted (working with shift+arrows), next selection starts at the very beginning of the document, which can cause accidental deletion of parts of the document you don\'t want to delete.
Very nice error reporting while typing. I will be glad to have a simple \"intellisense\" feature- when you type a \">\" to have closing tag added automatically for you. It will be good also if the document tree on the left doesn\'t close everytime you type something…. no matter the document is not well formed at the time of typing it will be good if there is a \"less restricted\" way of analyzing it so the tree doesn\'t close.
Indeed valid points. All, except the intellisense, will get fixed in the upcoming next version.
After using XML Marker for a while I\'ve noticed one annoying detail. The scroll down arrow scrolls one line at a time but the scroll up button scrolls numerous lines at a time. Don\'t know if this is intentional or a coding bug.
I have successfully reproduced the bug and fixed it. The fix will be available in the upcoming next version.
There seems to be a problem with any unicode character with a hex code containining 22 eg 產 (a chinese character) hex value = 7522 . The 7522 gets interpreted as \\\"u (\\\" = hex 22, u = hex 75) It ends up with an error like DATA = \\\"\\\"u\\\"
I can\'t tell you how happy I feel, seeing development starting on this invaluable tool.
This has for a long time been a favourite tool of mine in my XML toolkit. So glad to hear it is to get more love with version 2
It's a very useful program.
But I've a feature request:
Please notice that the XML file has been modified outside of the XML Maker and conditional reload the file.
Love this software. I too am enthusiastic to see it's getting more attention ! :) When can we expect a new version ? Thanks!
It should be released within about a month. Sorry for the very long delay.
Any update on the new version ??
This program is amazing. I have tried out a handful of different XML Editor tools, and none of them come close to this. XML Marker is very fast, takes little memory, but is still powerful. Right now I am using it to navigate through a 100MB file, and it has no problems.
Agree with previous comment – this runs circles around many 'professional' XML viewers (which, of course, can do much more, but don't have the elegance displayed here!)
Really looking forward to next release! – I tagged this as 'abandoned-ware'; great to learn it's not!
I echo that sentiment – and I have many of those 'professional' viewer/editors. I'm really looking forward to your release of the UTF-8 compliant version of this product. Thanks for providing the XML community with such a great tool!
very nice to use, especially the table view, with a possible ordering method for each column.
A nice to have feature will be a "double click" or "shortcut key" to open the "Edit using Editor" feature in the table selection Browser.
This also has for a long time been a favourite tool of mine. Cant wait for v2
I really like this editor and use it all the time. the only thing I miss in comparison with XMLSpy is a notification and update if the file has been externally changed.
Excellent program – I was looking for a program that could graphically display a DTD schema. I started looking at Altova and other paid program when I came acroos this and it's ideal for the simple use I want it for.
Looking forward to the next release.
Thanks for the great tool!
Any chance you could provide feature like, say double click the Tree Selection Browser window and it maximizes the panel to ease the viewing?
Just downloaded to load a large file that I had been able to view in previous version, but had not had tree. This file is 1.3 gb. It can read in the entire file but disappears during the parsing? Can I still use the old version?
yes, you can use the old version. They are designed to work side by side. I am not sure I understand the particular problem, can you elaborate and send the problem file?
Great to see an update – loved v1.* :-)
I'd really like a feature where I could select some text in the 'top right' window (is there a name for that window?) and then locate its position in the tree view.
I am glad you like it. version 3.0 (a free update to version 2.1) should be out soon and will include the following:
- DTD and Schema validation and visualization
- Tree and grid searches
- Code page encoding
About the The locate the text: Click anywhere in the text window and then click the locate in tree icon, or press Ctrl+L
Very nice – handles large files really well, easy to use. Would like a tabbed interface so I could open multiple files in the same instance.
1.1 is my favorite xml editor! I use it mostly for viewing xml files from different sources. When testing 2.1 it stops at an "Invalid Unicode Sequence". For me this is not a problem, but parsing stops. Could you add a way to ignore this error, label it as a warning or allow parsing to continue when errors?
Any plans on making a 64bit version?
Yes. 64 bit version should be released in the next version among the following features.
• DTD and schema validation and visualization.
• Improvements to allow bigger files (64 bit version and some efficiency fixes)
• Search in grid and tree.
• Filtering using XPath and regular expression
• And many more.
The Indent feature – how do I remove the indentation before saving? This capability is written in the feature description but not the method.
The only way to remove the indentation is to use the 'undo' command. Once you do that you will lose all the changes that you have done after the indent. The reason is that the indent function changes the document by adding and removing spaces and new line characters.
Somewhere in the future there should be an option to undo the indent without undoing subsequent changes. It will be implemented by adding virtual spaces and new lines that are now present in the document itself.
There is a problem with the indentation, when it creates new lines, only Linefeed is used for creating new lines instead of Carriage Return + Linefeed.
This is really noticeable when you then select all, copy and then paste into notepad, and it's just pasted in as one big line.
Could this be fixed please? It works in v1.1.
I have managed to recreate the problem and will fix it on the next version. As a workaround, use the dos2unix command line program to convert the line ending of the file.
An easy way to obtain dos2unix is by installing git.
#1) I'd like the equal sign (after attributes) to NOT have spaces wrapped around them (or make it configurable).
#2) I'd like an "un-indent" (we often work with XML in configuration strings, and it would be nice to be able to EDIT the XML in XML Marker, but get it all back as one continuous line of text to put back in our configuration string).
#3) It would be REALLY nice to be able to see the XPath of a given node (maybe in the Status line, but I'd prefer something I could put on the clipboard).

OK guys, it's time for Going Ike, my new TV show, to get rolling. It's a chance for you to participate by submitting your favorite ocean, lake, river or stream to be featured on one of our shows. And it's a chance for you to see me fishing without a net.
Starting right now, and going through June 30, you can submit short videos at www.goingike.com. The idea is for this to be a true reality show. We're not talking fake like a lot of so-called reality shows. I'll fish your waters, for your fish, under your rules. There'll be no safety net under us. If we fail, we'll fall all the way to the ground with nothing to break our fall.
I don't care where you pick or what kind of fish you want to catch. If you're selected I'll give it a try. The rules are simple enough because there're aren't any. Just pick a venue, a species and a challenge. Everything you need is on our site, www.goingike.com. You can even watch other submissions.
After June 30 the producers will pick 13 of the best. They'll announce the names of the winners on the last day of ICAST, July 13. Note that I said names. The venues and other details won't be announced, and I won't have a clue where I'm going or what I'll try to catch.
And note that I said the producers will pick the winners. It's not me you need to impress with your pitch. It's them. This is not a bass fishing show. It's a fishing show. As much as I like to fish for bass, they aren't the only species of fish worth pursuing. Don't limit your entries to black bass. Another thing to keep in mind is that all the trips will be in the fall, after the Elite Series tournaments are over.
I won't know where we're going until I'm actually in the truck with the motor running. When I arrive at your destination, I'll have one minute — no more, no less — to ask you questions about the place, the fish, and whatever else I think I'll need to know. After that, I'll have one hour to pack a tacklebag and put together six rod and reel combos.
There's no way I can tell you what the producers will find worthy of a win. I can tell you, however, they'll have no mercy on me. They'll hold my feet to the fire. You should do the same. We designed the show to let anglers see what happens in the real-world. Make your entries interesting and challenging, but doable. Stuff that's ridiculously easy or impossible will get little consideration.
It's time to put your fishing hats on, give some thought to what you'd like to see and then film your idea. Nothing would make me happier than if we had to get more space on the site to store all the entries.
Next time we'll talk about what I want to accomplish with the show.

The UAE has agreed to join a newly created forum comprising the world's largest gas exporters in a group that will not be involved in pricing, Qatar's Minister of Energy and Industry said yesterday.
Abdullah bin Hamad Al Attiyah said the UAE attended Tuesday's meeting of gas exporters in Doha as a "guest" while the Netherlands would join as an observer. "Regarding joining the forum by the UAE, the process is now under way. The UAE has participated in the meeting as a guest and they are planning to join as full members of the forum," Attiyah told local Qatari newspapers.
At their first meeting in Doha, the foreign ministers of the gas forum elected Attiyah as its chairman but they deferred the appointment of a secretary-general to their next meeting in Doha in December.

Only King Brand® ice packs use our own specially formulated non-migrating gel that is soft to the touch but doesn't move under pressure. We call this XC RigiGel®. It's not a solid and it's not a liquid either. It's something in between. Our XC RigiGel® formula always stays in place where you need it, unlike mushy and watery blue gels that don't hold their form.
Keeping the cold on your injured back is very important if you want to relieve the pain as quickly as possible. No matter how hard you press down on an XC RigiGel® pack, the formula won't move. This means you get an even and consistent cold treatment every time. Keeping the pressure and cold on the injured area of your back is critical for effective relief of pain and swelling. In terms of flex and form, XC RigiGel® packs feel exactly the same at room temperature as they do from the freezer. They're firm yet flexible at any temperature for the most comfortable treatments possible.
While the gel itself doesn't move around inside the pack, the cold energy does. Traditional ice packs have hot and cold spots, but our XC RigiGel® formula distributes the cold energy evenly throughout the pack. When cold pressure is applied to a back injury, the gel starts to warm up in that specific spot faster than the rest of the pack. Our temperature-balancing gel works to move the cold where it's needed within the gel pack, eliminating the potential for hot spots. This means your painful injury will receive the cooling power of the entire gel pack. The hyper-conductive power of these gel packs is unmatched.
The Walgreens factory tested our gel and found that pound for pound, our gel held over 3x more cold than the best gel they had to offer. The results were staggering.
Not only do XC RigiGel® packs hold more cold, they also cover a larger area and contain more gel than standard ice packs. This makes a huge difference in the treatment you receive. Most traditional ice packs only contain a little bit of gel, because a gel pack with tons of gel is more expensive to make. But if you really want to feel better and reduce your pain and swelling, you need a pack with tons of gel. XC RigiGel® packs are the solution. A bigger pack with more gel inside means faster and more effective relief of your pain and swelling.
The Back Wrap comes in two different sizes. Our standard ColdCure® Back Wrap comes with three thick 7" x 10" gel packs. This means you can have one inside the wrap for your treatment and two more charging in the freezer, so you can swap them in and out quickly to keep your therapy going. King Brand® standard size Back Wraps contain 10x more gel per lb than other wraps. This means maximum relief of pain and swelling and an overall superior treatment.
The Super Large Back Wrap comes with two extra-large gel packs. At 1.6kg, a single 16" x 16" super gel has more cold power than 10 lbs of ordinary blue gel packs! That much cold power can relieve a lot of pain for a very long time. If you have an injury that covers a large area or multiple injuries in different areas of your back, this is the wrap for you.
When you entered our site, a standard size ColdCure® Back Wrap and a Super Large ColdCure® Back Wrap were automatically put into your shopping cart at a substantial savings. The items already in your cart are priced less than anywhere on our site. You can browse our site and add other items to your cart, but if you remove a special priced item from the cart, it cannot be readded at the discounted price. You can remove any item if you like, but we think you'll want them both.
The ColdCure® Back Wrap provides firm, even compression for the most effective relief of pain and swelling possible. The wrap applies uniform compression to the injured area with no gaps in pressure. To be as effective as possible, the compression needs to be uniform and complete, and the ColdCure® Back Wrap provides exactly that.
The Back Wrap is soft and stretchy, making it easy to apply and adjust. Both the wrap and the gel packs are specially designed for the shape of your back. The wrap can be worn without the gel inside as a support for your injury while you're not doing treatments. The wrap is incredibly comfortable to wear.
The ColdCure® Back Wrap is ideal for treating the pain and inflammation associated with Back Pain & Strains, Pinched Nerves or Discs, Strained or Torn Muscles, Piriformis Syndrome, Hip Flexor Injuries, Hip Pain & Strains, Slipped Discs, Hip Bursitis and Sciatica.
Most people think that RICE - Rest, Ice, Compression & Elevation - is the formula to follow when treating a soft tissue injury. The truth is that temperatures below freezing can be too cold to effectively relieve pain and swelling. And these temperatures can also be dangerous. Ice can actually freeze your skin and numb your nerves, causing 'cold burns' and even permanent damage to your underlying tissue. The proper solution is RCCE® - Rest, Cold, Compression & Elevation. We don't want to apply ice, we want to apply cold that is just above freezing. Yes, you want cold - and lots of it - but not so cold that it is below the freezing point of water.
Ice pack injuries are so common, there are actually law firms that specialize in representing people who suffer from them. XC Gel® packs stay in the safe, effective zone of 0°C. While ice and blue gel packs will quickly get warm and keep getting warmer, our gel packs go to 0°C and stay there for a long time.
While we recommend that you store them in the freezer, you can store the XC Gel® packs in the fridge if you prefer them to be less cold. For optimum usage, keep one of the packs in the freezer and the other two in the fridge and you will get hours of non-stop cold therapy to take away your pain.
There are no disclaimers on our site because we don't need them. These products work. They fit better, last longer, stay colder, work faster, target pain better and are made of ultra-safe materials. The benefits are endless. You can be sure that a King Brand® cold compression Back Wrap with ColdCure® technology is far superior to any other product in the market in many, many ways.
KB Support Tape provides your injured back with extra support and protection. This helps to prevent re-injury. It also works to relieve your compression throughout the day, without restricting your movement. Wear it between your ColdCure® treatments and during physical activity.
KB Support Tape comes in 2 different styles: Pre-Cut Strips and a Continuous Roll. These 2 styles also come in 4 different colors: Pink, Blue, Black & Beige. There's no functional difference between the colors, they just allow you to express your personal style.
The Pre-Cut Strips of KB Support Tape are perfect for people who want to use their tape on-the-go. Since they're already cut into ready-to-use strips, you can just apply and go! Each roll of Pre-Cut Support Tape contains 20 individual strips. Each Pre-Cut Strip is 2 inches wide and 10 inches long.
The Continuous Rolls of KB Support Tape are ideal for you if you're looking for a more customizable Tape. You can cut the Tape into a variety of different shapes and sizes to achieve a completely unique application for your back injury. Each box contains 1 Continuous Roll of KB Support Tape that is 2 inches wide and 16 feet long.
While we found the above application effective for lower back injuries, it's only an example. We encourage you to try different applications for your back injury to find the one that works best for you. Also, remember to pay attention to what your body is telling you. Use the pain as a guide. If you feel the pain in a specific area of your back, apply the tape there.
King Brand® soft tissue rehabilitation medical products are the #1 choice by top Athletic Therapists and Medical Practitioners worldwide. We provide guaranteed results and customer satisfaction. Like all King Brand® products, there simply isn't a better performing option. All King Brand® products come with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

CELEBRATION, Fla. — Though it's still several months away, pro anglers fishing the Elite Series are getting pumped about the newly introduced Bassmaster Majors the Bassmaster Memorial, Bassmaster American and Bassmaster Legends — three stand-alone, no-entry-fee events that boast huge payouts and same-day TV coverage on the final day while anglers fish from their own wrapped boats.
"The Majors are the way we need to go to increase exposure for the sport ... everything is headed in the right direction," said Rick Clunn, a 29-time Classic qualifier and winner of the Greatest Angler Debate presented by John Deere.
The Majors, one each scheduled in May, July and August 2006, will feature 50 of the world's best anglers battling at prime fishing locations around the country. Each tournament is dedicated to a person who played a significant role in BASS' history — Don Butler, the first BASS member and winner of the second CITGO Bassmaster Classic; Brain Kerchal, the only Federation champion to win the Classic; and Ray Scott, BASS founder.
"The Bassmaster Memorial, American and Legends are three exclusive tournaments that will bring the very best professional BASS fishermen together for an intense, four-day competition," said Don Rucks, BASS vice president and general manager. "With more television coverage, sponsor-wrapped boats and a $250,000 top prize, the Majors will create a value for anglers and sponsors unlike any regular season event we've ever had."
This will be the first time since BASS was acquired by ESPN in 2001 that a regular-season tournament receives prominent airtime on the network, Rucks added. Each of the Majors' final day weigh-in will be televised the same day on ESPN2, offering fans at home up-to-the-minute information.
"This is a great step and something anglers have been wanting for a long time," said 2005 CITGO Bassmaster Classic winner Kevin VanDam. "For the whole plan that ESPN has announced, this is a key part and the model in the future to really raise the bar and create opportunities for more anglers."
2003 Bassmaster Classic champion Michael Iaconelli believes the additional exposure will help anglers garner more individual sponsorships. "The biggest stumbling blocks in selling to big companies have always been TV coverage and visibility," he said. "For me, it's going to mean putting more money in my pocket."
Competition will be fierce among the world's top 50 pros as they fish for a total prize purse of nearly $2 million in no-entry-fee tournaments that pay down 25 places, including a $250,000 first-place prize per event. "Having no-entry-fee events is historical," added Clunn.
Current Bassmaster Classic champion Kevin VanDam, who won two of the four Elite 50 events in 2005, says anglers often enjoy the intensity of smaller fields. "The thing I really enjoyed about fishing those (Elite 50s) is the exclusivity of the field. The level of sportsmanship and competition has never been higher."
In addition to the competitive fishing and daily weigh-ins, each Major will feature an expanded Outdoors Expo for fans and anglers to enjoy.
To qualify for the select, 50-field Bassmaster Majors, anglers must be a CITGO Bassmaster Elite Series professional in good standing. As with the Elite Series, 2006 will be a transition year comprised of:
• The top 10 anglers on the all-time BASS money list
• The top 40 anglers with the highest Angler of the Year standings based on 2004, 2005 and 2006 standings prior to that Major
• Other anglers who qualify based on previous announcements
CELEBRATION, Fla. — Though it's still several months away, pro anglers fishing the Elite Series are getting pumped about the newly introduced Bassmaster Majors the Bassmaster Memorial, Bassmaster American and Bassmaster Legends — three stand-alone, no-entry-fee events that boast huge payouts and same-day TV coverage on the final day while anglers fish from their own wrapped boats.

Set Seasons
Abel Tasman Aqua Taxi is a family owned business on the doorstep of New Zealand's most popular national park.
Back in 1990 Abel Tasman Aqua Taxi pioneered fast water taxi trips in the Abel Tasman National Park and has continued to lead the way with a strong commitment to high safety standards, customer satisfaction combined with experienced drivers who have awesome local knowledge of the park. All this to give you the ultimate journey into the park!
Abel Tasman Aqua Taxi was started by Kelvin and Jane Goodman. The operation started out by offering charters and they soon realised there was a gap in the market for customers wanting to walk one-way or spend a day in the park. At the same time they met Terry Knight who was building Awaroa Lodge and noted that there were limited transport services into Awaroa and that partnership was created growing both of their businesses.
Aqua Taxi started out by offering a 9am and a 1:30pm set sailing and we now offer in the peak of summer 6 departures and stop off in every major bay in the park. In 2000 Aqua Taxi opened the first all weather purpose built water taxi base which is still in operation. Our all-weather base is in-keeping with the area's aesthetics. The outdoor area is similar to a wharf that is surrounding the building and we have a counter built by a local Marahau sculptor. In March 2004 Aqua Taxi was sold to Ngai Tahu Tourism. In May 2012, the Alborn family of Marahau purchased the business.
Gaining a Department of Conservation (DOC) concession as well as a DOC Marine Mammal Watching Permit meant we could take our guests right into the park to visit the NZ Fur Seal Colony on Tonga Island in the Marine Reserve.
Toitū te Marae a Tāne
Totū te marae a Tongaroa
Totū te Iwi
Through the sustainability
of the forest and ocean,
humanity will endure.
We have been using Osprey boats since 1996. Our first Osprey "Matakana" was the first built by the then small Nelson engineering firm. Thirteen years and seventeen boats later we have continually improved passenger safety, comfort, and performance.
The Abel Tasman is a unique environment to operate in with its five meter tide range and many tidal lagoons. Our boats get you closer, operating in a minimum depth of only 400mm and our super quiet four stroke outboards allow you to adsorb the sounds of the park. With a three star ultra low emissions rating it's also the cleanest marine motor available on the market. With each new boat purchase we will continue to lift the bar for our customers and the environment.
Here at Abel Tasman AquaTaxi we care deeply about the well-being and sustainability of this very special place. This is our home. The preservation of our local flora and fauna is essential to our livelihood. We strive to take care of it and consider ourselves kaitiaki (guardians) of this area. We pass this on through our actions, staff training and by leading by example.
Please help us keep this special place, the Abel Tasman National Park beautiful for future generations. Respect our wonderful environment and makers responsible choices.
Here's how you can help:
Don't litter and please pick it up if you find it. Buy a re-usable water bottle and refuse plastic bags where possible.
Recycle glass, paper, plastic and cans.
Dispose responsibly by using only designated waste disposal facilities. There is a strict, 'carry out what you carry in' policy in the national park.
Protect our waterways; use toilets and stick to the paths to prevent erosion. If you get caught short dig a hole well away from the path and water sources.
Prevent invasions of unwanted species. Check, clean and dry your gear.
Conserve water, use it sparingly and take shorter showers.
Always know your limits when fishing and collecting shellfish. The rules can be obtained from any sports shop or council office.
Reduce your personal carbon footprint. Turn off lights, appliances and devices when not in use. Use candles; the romantic option!
Save your wallet and the atmosphere; walk or cycle where possible.
Use public transport or hire a fuel efficient vehicle. Take your time and avoid air travel.
Be safe, use common sense and always tell someone of your travel intentions.
Be cool, never light fires against restrictions and always obey the signage.
Relax, enjoy yourself and never harass our native flora and fauna. Take photos by all means, but if an animal moves away from you it's because you are too close. Back off and leave it be, it could be raising young or foraging for food.
Integrate and socialise with the locals; they often have the best advice.
Contribute, join a tour, volunteer scheme or short course that gives back to the community or environment, Buy local products and services to sustain local communities. Avoid multi-nationals and be rewarded with a real experience!
Here's a brief outline of what we're doing:
We are constantly striving to minimise fuel consumption. We continue to invest heavily in the most fuel-efficient boat motors and other fuel-saving technologies. We also work hard at selecting the most appropriate route or vehicle to minimise fuel consumption. We are actively monitoring fuel consumption to achieve further reductions. All of our businesses source goods and services locally whenever possible.
We're constantly working on ways to further reduce our electricity consumption. We always endeavour to turn off any equipment, including lights, when not needed and we are actively monitoring our electricity use.
We do everything we can to minimise our water usage by turning off taps when we are not directly using water and by using water saving technologies. We also have a rainwater harvesting system at our main water taxi storage sheds.
We are always trying to reduce waste by re-using and recycling. We also offer our customers recycling facilities and encourage our customers to reuse containers and bottles whenever possible.
Everybody in our business receives environmental and sustainability training. We have a wealth of knowledge on our local history and ecology and love sharing it with visitors!
We support various charitable organisations in their efforts to protect and restore our local environment. For example, we donate 10c from each passenger's fare to the Abel Tasman Birdsong Trust. We have also adopted the national park's beaches for the annual Big Beach Clean-up.
We have created a Responsible Tourism Guide to provide our customers with ideas on how they can help protect our environment during their stay.

Two outsider teams, two star players on contrasting form, two sides of Manchester. It may seem obvious to distill Ivory Coast's clash with Japan down to Yaya Toure and Shinji Kagawa but then their effect is just as clear.
The Ivorian midfielder proved himself one of the best players in the world this season; Kagawa remains a sparkling presence for his country, if not for his club.
Domestic issues further frame this contest. Toure required surgery at the end of Manchester City's Premier League season, and by far the biggest question on the eve of the Japanese game regarded his fitness.
Former Tottenham midfielder Didier Zokora calmed nerves, as did some of the City star's movement in training.
"I think Yaya Toure is ready," Zokora said. "He's the key player for Ivory Coast."
The starkness of those words is almost understating it. After almost a decade in which a gifted generation of Ivorian players failed to fully maximise their talent, Toure is now the only star in anything like his prime.
Didier Drogba, after all, is36 but still in the squad. Ivory Coast have even deeper problems than age, however, not least the question marks over callow manager Sabri Lamouchi.
A more stable Japan haven't suffered these kinds of fluctuations. They are a technical and tight side, best typified by Kagawa.
World Cup 2014: Japan team guide
World Cup 2014: Japan team guide
1/5 How They Qualified
Finishing top of the group standings was expected to be a formality when you consider the Asian nation's recent history for qualifying. This will be Japan's fifth straight World Cup appearance, and their side has perhaps never been stronger, having been the first nation to qualify. The standings certainly reflect that they were one of the strongest sides in qualifying, losing just once and scoring 16 goals in eight games. Alberto Zaccheroni's side had to recover from a disappointing Confederations Cup display, and have looked impressive against the lower sides in friendlies, but will now need to prepare to face some of the biggest teams in international football later this year.
2/5 Manager
A renowned figure in Italy after taking charge of AC Milan, Lazio, Inter Milan and Juventus so far in his career, 60-year-old Alberto Zaccheroni has performed admirably at the helm of Japan. In his first match as coach, he led the Asian nation to a famous 1-0 win over Argentina, and this set the precedent for his reign. Of his 54 games in charge, Zaccheroni has won 32 and lost just 11 times, making him one of the most successful managers in Japan's history. He guided Japan to their fourth AFC Asian Cup title in 2011, which led them to the 2013 Confederations Cup in Brazil. And although they failed to qualify for the latter stages of the competition, experience in the Brazilian climate will be something Zaccheroni can use to his advantage at the World Cup.
3/5 Star Player
Even though this side contains Manchester United playmaker Shinji Kagawa, Keisuke Honda is still the key man. Creatively, he is a menace, operating behind the main striker Shinji Okazaki, and is certainly not afraid to advance forward with the ball at his feet. Honda is a natural leader and has been touted as a contender to take over as captain when veteran midfielder Endo retires. For a midfielder, his strike rate is impressive, with 20 goals coming in his 53 caps for Japan. He joined AC Milan on a free transfer in January after spells with CSKA Moscow, Nagoya Grampus and Dutch outfit VVV Venlo.
4/5 Emerging Talent
One of the brightest talents to emerge from Japan in recent years, Gotoku Sakai found himself being chased by top European clubs and sealed a switch to Stuttgart in January 2013, after a successful loan spell at the club. The 23-year-old attacking full-back is said to be the complete package and has been compared to German international Philipp Lahm since his move to the Bundesliga. Stuttgart showed how highly they regarded him when they honoured Sakai with a three-and-a-half-year deal, but the right-back is likely to remain behind Atsuto Uchida in the pecking order in Brazil.
5/5 Probable Line-up:
His recent form has almost been the inverse of Toure's. The playmaker has barely made an impact for Manchester United, but proved hugely important for Japan in qualifying, hitting four goals.
He touched on the difference on the eve of the tournament, and his comments banish many of the concerns over his ability to handle the stage at Old Trafford.
"I personally think it is a completely different kind of pressure," Kagawa said.
"When playing for Japan, it means that I carry my country on my shoulders and I feel a different kind of pressure as I am expected to do more when playing for Japan."
The hope for his team is that the whole world finally sees the real Kagawa, and not just those in Germany and Japan.

Ford Plans Emergency Meeting at Vulnerable Belgian Plant
(Corrects spelling of Ford CEO's name in story from yesterday.)
Ford Motor Co. (F) has called an emergency meeting this week with unions at its underutilized Belgian factory in Genk, a labor leader said.
The management has invited representatives of the three unions at the plant to discuss the "economic crisis" on Oct. 24, Rene Champagne, a representative for Belgium's ABVV Metaal union, said in a telephone interview. Ford has not given more details about the meeting, Champagne said.
Ford plans to close the factory to reduce capacity in Europe and aims to do so by the end of 2013, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reported today, citing unidentified company executives. John Gardiner, a Ford spokesman in Europe, declined to comment.
The plant, which employs about 4,000 workers, is considered by analysts as vulnerable to closure because Ford has said it used only 68 percent of Genk's manufacturing capacity last year. The vehicles produced in Genk are at the end of their lifecycles, with a new version of the mid-sized Mondeo to be introduced to the market in late 2013. The plant also builds the Galaxy and S-Max minivans.
Ford still has work to do in adjusting its factory capacity to declining demand, European sales head Roelant de Waard said Sept. 27, echoing earlier comments from Chief Executive Officer Alan Mulally. The automaker announced plans the previous week to cut "a few hundred" jobs in the region because of declining sales.
Declining Sales
Ford's European sales have declined 12 percent this year as the region heads for the biggest annual plunge in 19 years. Ford forecasts a loss of more than $1 billion in the region in 2012.
"The only thing they are willing to say is that they're not allowed to say anything until Wednesday morning," Champagne said.
Of the Dearborn, Michigan-based carmaker's European facilities, the Genk plant is the most likely to be closed, Colin Langan, an analyst at UBS Investment Research, wrote in a Sept. 17 report. Shutting the factory would result in potential annual savings of about $500 million and could be completed by the end of 2013, he wrote.
The U.S. company's European pretax operating losses widened to $404 million in the second quarter from $149 million in the first quarter. The business earned a profit of $176 million a year earlier.
Ford is utilizing just 63 percent of its factory capacity in Europe, according to Morgan Stanley. The automaker needs to reduce capacity by at least 20 percent, Adam Jonas, a New York- based analyst for Morgan Stanley, said in September. The automaker's European losses could reach $1.5 billion to $2 billion this year, he estimated.

The Newseum Institute has been doing an annual national survey of American attitudes about the First Amendment for the last 19 years. The survey is titled "The State of the First Amendment: 2016" and the results are scary.
According to the survey 39 percent of Americans are unable to name any of the rights guaranteed by the First Amendment.
Only 54 percent of Americans know that free speech is guaranteed by the First Amendment.
Only 17 percent of Americans identified religious freedom as one of their First Amendment rights.
Only 12 percent of participants identified the right of assembly as a First Amendment right.
Only 11 percent of participants identified freedom of the press as a First Amendment right.
Only 2 percent of participants identified the right to petition as a First Amendment rights.
According to the study, 21 percent believe the First Amendment "goes too far in the rights it guarantees," while 75 percent disagree.
A similar 2015 survey by Pew Research Center found that 40 percent of Americans between the ages of 18 and 35 support government censorship of "statements that are offensive to minority groups."
The survey then went on to ask more specific questions related to the First Amendment.
The results show that half of Americans either mildly or strongly agree that, "A government official should be required to provide marriage certificates to same sex couples even if that official objects to same sex marriage on religious grounds." 43 percent disagreed with this statement.
47 percent of Americans agreed that students should be allowed to say whatever they want on college campuses, even if it's offensive, while 40 percent disagreed.
35 percent of Americans said that high schoolers should have the freedom to offend their peers, while 62 percent disagreed.

Among 50,000 power plants worldwide, which are the biggest CO2 emitters? The Center for Global Development has analyzed that. Turns out Australians are (still) the biggest per capita emitters (11 tons of power-sector CO2 emissions per person per year). Americans are the biggest overall (>9 tons pp). China (2 tons pp) and India (0.5 tons pp) are still lightweights per capita, though seriously competitive on a cumulative level.
Globally, power generation emits nearly 10 billion tons of CO2 per year. The 8,000 power plants in the US spew more 25 percent of that. Roughly 2.8 billion tons per year. The US's biggest CO2 emitter is Southern Co, the sty (pig or eye, your choice) of the nation, with annual emissions of 172 million tons, followed by dirtbags American Electric Power Company Inc, Duke Energy Corp, and AES Corp.
Here are dirtiest dozen individual plants in the US. All are coal-fired. Any in your hood, parading as do-gooders?
The Scherer plant in Juliet, GA: 25.3 million tons
The Miller plant in Quinton, AL: 20.6 million tons
The Bowen plant in Cartersville, GA: 20.5 million tons
The Gibson plant in Owensville, IN: 20.4 million tons
The W.A. Parish plant in Thompsons, TX: 20 million tons
The Navajo plant in Page, AZ: 19.9 million tons
The Martin Lake plant in Tatum, TX: 19.8 million tons
The Cumberland plant in Cumberland City, TN: 19.6 million tons
The Gavin plant in Cheshire, OH: 18.7 million tons
The Sherburne County plant in Becker, MN: 17.9 million tons
The Bruce Mansfield plant in Shippingport, PA: 17.4 million tons
The Rockport plant in Rockport, IN: 16.6 million tons.
The least dirty CO2 region in the US is the West Coast, where much of the electric power is generated by nuclear and hydroelectric plants.
Number one worst power plant the world is Taichung Lung-Ching Township Taiwan, at 41.3 million tons a year.

I seal with oil and what always worked for me was to add a few drop to my hands that my palms shine when I rub it together and smooth it down my hair.. I always start with the ends because it is usually the part that needs it the most and more is distributed there less than the roots, so that it'd be less oily. Sealing doesn't mean oiling your hair just adding a sheen.. Also, some oils are heavier than others. Like coconut and olive oil are heavier than sunflower and sweet almond oil. Coconut oil always made my air feel crunchy because of the cool weather here, so I can't use it. Olive oil works but tends to make my hair feel weighed down or oily, though it doesnt really look like it, but I like it because it may also condition hair for it's penetrative properties. Sweet almond oil is just perfect for me though.
