NKorea vows to cancel '53 Korean War cease-fireBy FOSTER KLUG , Associated Press
Mar. 5, 2013 10:17 PM ET
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea's military is vowing to cancel the 1953 cease-fire that ended the Korean War, straining already frayed ties between Washington and Pyongyang as the United Nations moves to impose punishing sanctions over the North's recent nuclear test.

The Cold War still rages in North Korea, and enemy No. 1 is the United States, which Pyongyang blames for making necessary its much-condemned drive to build nuclear weapons. A rich vein of propaganda, fueled by decades-old American threats, holds that North Korea remains at risk of an unprovoked nuclear attack, though Washington and others say brinksmanship is the North's true motive.

Without elaborating, the Korean People's Army Supreme Command boasted of having "lighter and smaller nukes" and warned late Tuesday of "surgical strikes" meant to unify the divided Korean Peninsula.
The statement cited ongoing U.S.-South Korean joint military drills that Pyongyang propaganda considers invasion preparation, and a U.S.-led push to secure a U.N. Security Council resolution calling for sanctions in response to North Korea's Feb. 12 nuclear test. A U.S.-China draft resolution is expected to be circulated at the U.N. this week.
Heated military rhetoric is common from North Korea when tensions rise on the Korean Peninsula and during U.S.-South Korean war drills, and Pyongyang has previously threatened to tear up the cease-fire. But this latest statement is unusually specific in its details and is seen as noteworthy by officials in Seoul because a senior North Korean military official issued the threats on state TV.
The North's statement threatens to block a communications line between North Korea and the United States at the border village separating the two Koreas, and to nullify the 60-year-old Korean War armistice agreement on March 11, when two weeks of U.S.-South Korean military drills will draw 10,000 South Korean and 3,500 U.S. forces. Another round of drills between the allies began earlier this month.
Pyongyang's recent nuclear test and rocket launches, and the subsequent call for U.N. punishment, have increased already high animosity between the North and Washington and Seoul.
The United States and others worry that North Korea's third nuclear test takes it a big step closer toward its goal of having nuclear-armed missiles that can reach America, and condemn its nuclear and missile efforts as threats to regional security and a drain on the resources that could go to North Korea's largely destitute people.
North Korea says its nuclear program is a response to U.S. hostility that dates to the 1950-53 Korean War, which ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty, leaving the Korean Peninsula still technically in a state of war.
Even amid the tension, however, North Korea has recently welcomed high-profile American visitors, including former basketball star Dennis Rodman, known for his piercings and tattoos as much as his Hall of Fame career with the Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls.
Rodman met the North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un, called him an "awesome guy" and said Kim wanted President Barack Obama to call him. The trip was criticized for giving the authoritarian leader a propaganda boost, but Rodman suggested "basketball diplomacy" could warm relations. Google's executive chairman, Eric Schmidt, made a four-day trip in January, but did not meet Kim.
North Korean propaganda regularly cites decades-old, Cold War-era American threats as the reason for its nuclear efforts and holds that the North remains at risk of an unprovoked nuclear attack. Washington and others say brinksmanship is the North's true motive for the nuclear push.
The North's statement called U.S.-South Korean military drills a "dangerous nuclear war targeted at us."
"We aim to launch surgical strikes at any time and any target without being bounded by the armistice accord and advance our long-cherished wish for national unification," the statement said.
The U.S.-China draft resolution at the U.N. would impose some of the strongest sanctions ever ordered by the United Nations, diplomats said. It reflects the U.N. Security Council's growing anger over the country's defiance of three previous rounds of sanctions aimed at halting all nuclear and missile tests.
The draft resolution would make it significantly harder for North Korea to move around the funds it needs to carry out its illicit programs.
It would also strengthen existing sanctions that bar North Korea from testing or using nuclear or ballistic missile technology and from importing or exporting material for these programs. It would strengthen the inspection of suspect cargo bound to and from the country.
Many analysts believe that the success of this new round of sanctions depends largely on how well China enforces them. Most of the companies and banks that North Korea is believed to work with are based in China.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said President Barack Obama and the American people want to see North Korean leader Kim Jung Un engage in peace talks.
Kerry also stressed that the United States will continue "to do what is necessary to defend our nation and the region together with our allies."

A café that doubles up as a florist may sound perfect for a romantic lunch, but Coby's isn't an amorous sort of place: the rattle of tube trains reminds you every five minutes that you're eating beneath a railway arch. The menu is perhaps a little too varied, with Jerusalem toasts and falafels jostling for space next to pasta dishes, crêpes and pizzas; still, order carefully and you'll be pleasantly surprised. The melwach (Yemenite pastry) is baked on the premises and comes with a delicious, fiery sauce. There's no alcohol to wash it down with, but the mango smoothies are freshly made and great value. Keep an eye on the expensive extras, though – we weren't particularly enamoured by the prospect of paying £2 for a Nescafé or £3.60 for oven chips.

Dedicated to reducing volcanic risk, one volcano at a time…
"Most of the world's dangerous volcanoes are in developing countries. Many of these countries have high population densities, limited access to modern technology, and, often, they also lack adequate financial resources to deal with volcanic hazards. Volcanic eruptions can hit these nations disproportionately hard. With proper volcano monitoring equipment, local scientists and technicians can work to gauge the risk of potential eruptions and acquire proper warning before lives are lost to volcanic activity."
Dr. Jeff Witter
Volcanologist & CEO of the International Volcano Monitoring Fund
Millions of people live near active and potentially active volcanoes. Many of these volcanoes erupt each year, but the vast majority of them have inadequate systems in place to monitor volcanic activity levels and provide warning of impending eruptions.
The primary purpose of the International Volcano Monitoring Fund is to enhance public safety by providing volcano monitoring instrumentation and training to responsible scientists, technicians, and engineers in the developing world so that they may monitor their volcanoes.
A second goal of the International Volcano Monitoring Fund is to educate the public in volcanically-threatened communities about the value of volcano monitoring and how to be prepared in the event of an eruption.
Lastly, the International Volcano Monitoring Fund conducts research to develop and test novel volcano monitoring technologies to further improve and advance volcano monitoring capabilities.
For the most part, the technology to effectively monitor activity levels at restless volcanoes already exists. This technology should be deployed at every active and potentially active volcano that threatens a population center. Each volcano will erupt again; it is just a question of when. It is vitally important to monitor a volcano's activity to arm oneself with the knowledge for when it is time to get out of harm's way.

Tebow Traded To New York Jets
Tim Tebow began Wednesday afternoon headed to the Big Apple, and after a big mix-up, a trade that sent him to the New York Jets finished up Wednesday evening. The former Florida Gator and Denver Broncos quarterback was traded along with a 7th round draft pick to the Jets in exchange for New York's 4th and 6th round picks in the 2012 draft. In addition, the Jets will pay an agreed-upon sum of Tebow's bonus money, which the Broncos gave to Tebow before the start of the 2011 season. The amount of that sum was in dispute-which resulted in stalled negotiations-but the deal is complete and Tebow will now play quarterback for the Jets. Although Tebow said he didn't have any say in where he would end up via trade, he did tell reporters last night that he's excited to play for the Jets. "I just hope I can make them a little bit better," Tebow said.

Plasti Dip Help? (Interior)
Okay, so I have some really long story about what happened, but I'll spare you the details.
In short:
I'm guessing that it's just because I was rushed for time and I didn't have time for it to cure since this was done at my friend's house late at night and only gave it an hour. The stuff had a felt-like texture to it, and it was not hard (not even after 12 hours) as the wheels and grille were shortly after painting. It took well over an hour to peel the weak coating off.
Should I prep the plastic piece before I repaint? If yes, what with? Also, is 30 mins between coats sufficient? How many coats do you suggest? Thank you.
Sand the entire surface with a light grit sandpaper, maybe 120 - 320 grit. Once the entire surface has been sanded, use a tacky cloth to wipe the entire surface after, of course, wiping off all debris and dust. Once it's been wiped off by the tacky cloth, grab your primer. Spray on primer, sandable, just about any primer in a spray can will do, I use the grey color. Primer dries quickly, much quicker than paint. The idea of applying ANY coat of paint in this manner is to make sure you lay your next coat while it is still "tacky", it shouldn't be completely dry as you want it to adhere to the previous coat and not just cover it. A good practice is 3 coats of primer, wait for it to dry and give it a light sanding with 320 or higher grit paper, then apply your paint/color. Number of coats for your color depends on how many you want. At least 3 coats of color, I wouldn't do any more than 5.
This method has proven itself over and over again. I used this method on my front grille and it is going strong for over a year without even one chip. I used Dupli Color gloss back. You may want to consider wet sanding or clear coat, especially if it's interior, but ultimately up to you.
Hope this helps.
Plasti dip doesn't need to be prepped like that. Apply a super light coat like 25% transparency, let that sit for 10min then add more coats. Some
Surfaces don't like Plasti dip when it's layed down fast and heavy.
Good luck
Lol, the proper way and the plasti-dip way [hihi]
it says on the can 30 min between coats, take you time dont rush and it will turn out great.
Spraying coats of anything like this has two important techniques. One (most importantly) - you're only putting down a slightly thicker than over-spray layer of paint. Your putting as thin a coat of paint on but still covering the entire surface. Two - laying and layering the paint. You want to go halfway up on each pass over the next. Make one pass, then make your next pass halfway up the last.
never prepped more than a wipe down with a dry towel for plastidip, even on my headlights (2000 lx), and it turns out great. just take your time and it'll look fantastic
Well dang, I waited over 30 minutes between coats, still came out rather fuzzy. I must have been too far away. It looks decent, and I'm gonna give it some time to cure. We'll see how it looks in 3 or 4 days. I might try to peel it off and start from scratch for a 3rd time and do heavy, closer sprays. Just a tad irritated because my friend's wheels and emblem came out so well, and so did my grille.
Anyways, I might get some pictures up soon, but I suggest it if you're looking to black out your interior. I think that the portion of the console with the cup holders / shift knob looks great black. I left the radio panel alone as it looked like a PITA to take out and also, it adds some nice contrast.
I honestly wouldn't plasti-dip anything in the interior. It's going to scuff off pretty easily.
I recommend Dupli Color Vinyl Paint. I've had my entire interior painted black with it for over two years with hardly any scuffing. And a quick touch up it just blends right in. Plasti-dip has too much texture.
I plan on doing this when I get another can of Plasti Dip and figure out how to get that console off. But I'm going to be painting over the Dip, using it as a primer. I've already done it on one panel and it looks great and hasn't chipped yet.
With that said, any pics would be greatly appreciated.

So, as David Cameron and Nick Clegg renew their coalition wedding vows in Essex this afternoon, Liberal Democrat strategists are reported to be planning withdrawal from the government ahead of the promised 2015 general election to avoid being as badly mangled at Westminster as they have been twice running in Britain's town halls.
Good. That suggests a sensible survival instinct that has not always been visible since Cameron and Clegg first plighted their troth in the No 10 rose garden in May 2010. The Tory Right's remedy for last week's election defeats – a bit of union and foreigner bashing, more grammar schools – may be very retro, but it is likely to impress voters more than Clegg's insistence that Lords reform is a real and relevant priority for radicals or that gays suffer from a lack of civil matrimonial rights.
As a slim lifeline for survival – we wish them no harm, do we? — this column has been predicting gentle disengagement by the Lib Dems in 2014-15 almost since the original event. Why? Because it was easier to see why the national interest was served by the deal – signed as the original eurozone crisis flared in Greece – than it was to see how the Lib Dems could hope to escape in one piece from a pact with the Tories. Hadn't they positioned themselves to the left of New Labour for years?
It is, as the Irish say, the curse of coalitions: the junior and less powerful partner tends to take disproportionate blame. Just look at Germany, in politics as in everything else. As Philip Oltermann points out in a shrewd Guardian piece, Angela Merkel did indeed lose 0.7% of the CDU vote in regional elections in Schleswig-Holstein on Sunday – but her free-market coalition partners, the Free Democrats (well to the right of Clegg) got hammered and lost 6.7%.
That atrophy has been going on for a while, making the FDP uneasy partners. As Oltermann points out, we could be looking at fresh elections and another grand coalition with the social democrats – the option being urged by Brussels and Berlin on Athens after its problematical election.
Greeks probably won't buy that: they still want their euro-cake and to eat it courtesy of foreign loans. Despite overnight positioning, Merkel and President François Hollande (that's the first time I have typed these words) will find a pragmatic accommodation, their steadier temperaments making up for whatever ideological proximity the German chancellor may have had with the mercurial Nicolas Sarkozy, who was so often rude about her weight behind her back.
But where does that leave the British coalition, outside the worst of the eurozone drama (thanks to that Gordon Brown, it must again be acknowledged) but still embroiled in its consequences? Struggling on, hoping for better economic times and that Ed Miliband doesn't engage with the electorate is about as good as it gets. That plus their own dose of pragmatism: more borrowing to build things and skills we're going to need one day.
"There's no going back" on the austerity package, Cam and Clegg are due to say in Essex today. Well, they would, wouldn't they, but we don't have to take such promises at face value. They would deny a loosening of the fiscal corset even as they were undertaking one. After all, what with rising food and energy prices, higher-than-predicted levels of borrowing since 2010 – the eurozone crisis has intensified our own problems — they have already been forced to adapt to changing reality, political and economic.
Put it another way, the squeeze on public sector expenditure, jobs and services is only now beginning to bite, but the country is hurting and the squeeze on demand is already proving counter-productive by pushing up unemployment benefit costs and cutting the tax take. If the coalition's cuts-for-growth strategy had succeeded, ministers would not have had to go through with it. Now that it looks like failing, they won't be able to.
So what about options for a change of direction? Progressives can cheer Hollande's victory over Sarkozy, the more so for the outgoing president's pitch to the xenophobic right, but listening to all the usual suspects – from Ed Miliband and Ed Balls to Polly Toynbee via Larry Elliott — suggests that the moderate left has no magic wand; just a better balance between austerity and growth, an end to what David (remember him) Miliband in an article in the Times calls the "economic cul-de-sac" of shrinking economic demand and confidence.
In an article for the Guardian, Clegg offered three progressive remedies: investment in neglected regions to rebalance the wealth and power of London; fairer taxation and services to help struggling families; and better politics that stand up to vested interests (in Fleet Street as well as the City) to protect ordinary people.
It's easy to caricature, but Clegg himself cites the HS2 train project to Birmingham, the raising of the income tax threshold and Lords reform to make his three points. All three are easily assailed. The Queen's speech programme will reflect the difficulties surrounding them all.
Compare that with the more predatory but more focused offering by the grassroots Tory website, Conservative Home. Its alternative Queen's speech – you can read it here – for a majority Conservative government contains its share of fantasy too: a double referendum on a new relationship with the EU is one, expansion of grammar schools is another.
But there is plenty of sharp stuff there too, including charges for foreign lorry drivers, museum users and NHS patients (after all, they charge us), more competition between the plutocratic banks and shifty water companies, the deportation of foreign prisoners upon release (why is this so difficult?) and other items it would be hard to gainsay. ConHome is unimpressed by HS2 as a wise bit of rail investment too; it's so expensive. I fear they have a point that may impress undecided voters.
Nostalgic stuff much of it, as befits a Conservative party struggling to adapt to a fast-changing world. Yet on Radio 4's Today programme, Ken ("I wuz robbed") Livingstone sounded even more out-of-touch and nostalgic: was he really advocating a return to the 1970s? At least Ken would not have touched the British Bill of Rights argument, which ConHome finds as compelling as Nick Clegg does reform of the House of Lords.
As with directly elected mayors – an idea which tanked badly in last week's city referendums – most constitutional reforms are not panaceas but substitutes for the less glamorous, more arduous tasks of good government. Beware of them; we have quite enough to worry about already. Our choices are modest, incremental stuff; unheroic, but better than the romantic alternatives – nice, or nasty – now surfacing in Athens or closer to home.

PETA Encourages Beyonce to Wear "Greener" Footwear
With a slew of #1 hits, a superstar husband, and that adorable Blue Ivy, it's hard not to like Beyoncé, but a recent business venture has drawn the ire of animal rights activists.
The 31-year-old singer launched a new line of footwear including a sneaker wedge design nicknamed the "King Bey." The Perfectly Made Kicks (PMK) shoe features animal skins including stingray, ostrich, crocodile, calf, and anaconda.
In a statement to Gossip Cop, a spokesperson for PETA slammed the choice of materials, encouraging the "Crazy in Love" songstress to follow the "green" fashion footsteps of Natalie Portman and Anne Hathaway.
The spokesman begins, "These custom-made kicks come with a high price—and it's paid by the various animals who were beaten and skinned alive or cruelly farmed and killed. " before adding, "We hope that Beyoncé will choose to wear more clothes from her own clothing line—which features faux fur—and that one day, she'll go completely cruelty-free."

No more doubts for Wood after breakthrough victory in Qatar
DOHA (Reuters) - Britain's Chris Wood was beginning to wonder if he would ever end his title drought before he finally made the breakthrough in the Qatar Masters at the weekend.
It was a case of third time lucky for the 6-foot-5 (1.96-metre) Wood after he had twice previously gone into the closing day of a European Tour event at the summit of the leaderboard only to slip down the field in the final round.
The 25-year-old had also amassed 19 top-10 finishes without once entering the winner's circle.
"I was starting to have little doubts that I would ever win," Wood told reporters after climbing into the top 60 of the world rankings from number 142.
"But I have a load of good people and good friends around me - they see me playing at home and know full well that I'm good enough to win. Until you do it though, the doubt is in the back of your mind."
Wood, who finished in the top five at the British Open in 2008 and 2009, delivered a majestic coup de grace on the last hole in Doha on Saturday.
The Englishman needed an eagle three to pip Spain's Sergio Garcia and George Coetzee of South Africa for the title and he produced a sumptuous six-iron from 202 yards before coaxing in his putt from 12 feet.
"I couldn't really feel my hands at the time," said the Qatar champion, who shares the distinction with Swede Robert Karlsson of being the tallest players on the tour. "It was one chance and I knew that was all I was going to get.
"Four years of frustration of not winning and it all came out a bit after the putt," added Wood, referring to his emotional punch of the air as the ball disappeared into the cup. Continued...

The Patriots defense that consists of many unknowns continues to develop into a stable, functional unit. Coach Bill Belichick's schemes flummoxed Chiefs' QB Tyler Palko, who was making his first career start.
New England allowed just 334 yards of total offense in the rout. Palko was 25-38 with 236 yards and three interceptions, while the Kansas City rushing attack totaled 119 yards on the ground. Kyle Arrington registered two picks, while Phillip Adams had the first of his career.
The Patriots have allowed just 19 points in their previous two contests, and now average 20.3 points-allowed per game, ranking 10th in the NFL. This stems from their improving pass rush that sacked Palko three times, including 1.5 from Mark Anderson.
Quarterback Tom Brady struggled to develop an early rhythm with the offense, going scoreless on the offense's first three possessions. As usual, Brady improved as the game went on, leading to scores on five of his last six drives.
Brady finished the game with pedestrian numbers, going 15-27 for 234 yards and a pair of touchdowns. The two-time MVP connected with emerging star Rob Gronkowski for two scores; a 52-yard second-quarter strike to give the Patriots a 7-3 lead, and a 19-yard score to up the New England advantage to 17-3.
Shan Vereen capped the Patriots scoring with a 4-yard fourth-quarter scamper for his first career touchdown.
Kyle Arrington
The undrafted, fourth-year cornerback continued his impressive 2011 campaign, intercepting two Tyler Palko passes. While both interceptions occurred on tipped passes. Arrington's ability to be in the right place at the right time has contributed to his NFL leading seven interceptions.
Rob Gronkowski
The second-year tight end and emerging cult hero shredded the Chiefs' pass defense to the tune of four catches for 96 yards. Gronkowski now has 52 catches for 709 yards and eight touchdowns, including four in the last two games.
Julien Edelman
The third-year utility man contributed on both offense and defense throughout. Edelman finished the Chiefs' massacre with a solo tackle after receiving early playing time on the defensive side of the ball, but broke the game wide open with a 72-yard punt return to give New England a 24-3 lead. It was Edelman's second career return.
Chad Ochocinco
Ochocinco's disappearing act continued unabated last night, as the offseason acquisition had zero catches on zero targets. This was the fourth game this year that Ochocinco has been held without a catch.
First-half execution
The Patriots appeared sluggish to start the game, punting on their first two possessions before a Brady fumble on the third series stopped a drive in Chiefs' territory.
Third-down Offense
Kansas City's porous defense may have masked some of the Patriots' deficiencies on Monday Night. New England finished the game just 4-13 on third down, but a perfect 2-2 on fourth-down extended drives. The Patriots are just 16-53 (30.2 percent) on third down over their last four games.
The Patriots are once again on the road next week, traveling to Philadelphia to take on the inconsistent Eagles (4-6) at 4:15 at Lincoln Financial Field. New England now has a two game lead in the AFC East, and would have the No. 1 seed if the season ended today due to a "strength of victory" edge over Houston (7-3 and better conference record than Baltimore (7-3).

Well I have been running into this problem for a while now and I have posted on the forum about it before when my car had 85k miles on it, it now has 91k miles and it has been driving fine since then but now the problem is happening again... So basically my car won't start and it is such a wierd problem because the car drives fine and all of a sudden it just cuts off and I can't get it to start again, it cranks but never turns over.... Last time this happened the car just needed about 20 minutes or so before it can turn on again but it hasn't turned on in about 32 hours... Something to keep in mind is that the previous owner had a viper alarm and he put on after market headlights and tail lights, which is something I failed to mention in the previous post... Also i find it wiers how the headlights, tail lights and gages light up, the radio in the video also mindboggles me...If anyone has any ideas on what this problem might be, it would be much appreciated.
P.s. here's a link to the old post
And a link to the YouTube vid of me trying to start my car

The 15th annual Tupelo Elvis Festival names Louisiana native, Jay Dupuis, as their Elvis Tribute Artist (ETA) Winner.

In order to satisfy all guests, we are hosting a high-caliber, simulcast event for those who do not have tickets for the Lyric Theater. The simulcast event will be sheltered under a cooled tent outside the Lyric Theater and will feature the three night performances:
Thursday, June 6 @ 7pm - Billy Cherry, Victor Trevino with the EAS Band, Sonny Burgess and the Legendary Pacers, and D.J. Fontana
Friday, June 7 @ 7pm - Kevin Mills and Brandon Bennett with the EAS Band
Saturday, June 8 @ 7pm - Final Round of ETA Competition, David Lee, Tyler Hunter and Cody Slaughter with EAS Band
Tickets are $10.00 per night or $25.00 for the three night package.
Tickets are available for purchase by calling 662-841-6598.

The 2013 lineup will not only be entertaining, but will also pay tremendous tribute to gospel background of Elvis Presley.
The morning will begin with a catered brunch outside the Lyric Theatre on Court Street. While eating, patrons will be entertained by the Tupelo Unity Choir. Following brunch, The Landmarks will perform inside the Lyric and open for the Elvis Presley Enterprises 'First Ever' Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist, Shawn Klush. Shawn will perform along with Elvis' favorite gospel family, 'The Blackwood Quartet' with special guest, Joe Moscheo of Elvis' Imperials Quartet. The EAS Band will accompany the musicians during the concert.

TUPELO – Tickets go on sale Tuesday for the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Competition in Tupelo.
The competition is part of the 15th annual Tupelo Elvis Festival, which will be June 6-9. Tickets for the Lyric events are sold separately from the Fairpark stage.
Prices are $155 for the package of Elvis events at the Lyric Theatre in downtown Tupelo. If attendees want to go to the gospel brunch, the ticket package is $175.

"Usually by mid-February," said Craig Helmuth, program associate at the Downtown Tupelo Main Street Association, which produces the festival.
The ticket package guarantees the buyer of an assigned seat inside the Lyric at all of the Elvis events, including the tribute artist competition preliminaries, the final, a tribute artist concert and a panel discussion with previous winners.
Prices increased from last year's $135 (all Elvis) and $150 (all Elvis plus gospel). Helmuth said the new price reflects an additional event on Saturday and food at the gospel event.
A VIP package upgrade is available for $75 and includes a festival poster, T-shirt, meet & greet event and invites to two Elvis parties.
Tickets for the individual events will go on sale in Feb. 5 if there are any seats left. Prices range from $15 to $50 per event.

Mitt Romney's confident and convincing performance in last night's first US presidential debate gives the Republican a breathing space that he desperately needed. He has been trailing President Obama throughout this race but his poll ratings had worsened significantly since the end of the party conventions almost a month ago. Most tracking polls had him around four per cent behind nationally, with Barack Obama widening his lead in all-important swing states including Florida and Ohio. But US commentators agree he was last night's winner — and that he will get a lift from his bullish showing last night.
President Obama, by contrast, turned in a hesitant performance. He has evidently had a much easier ride to the nomination than did Mr Romney, who had to fight every inch of the way, and it showed. Mr Obama's donnish, wordy expositions of policy are hardly the thing to win over wavering voters. He will now doubtless practise more seriously for the second debate on October 16. Its more informal, "town-meeting" format will test both men's ability to connect with real voters: Mr Romney especially scores low in polls when voters are asked if he can empathise with their lives.
The importance of these debates reflects not just the closeness of the race but the politics at stake. More than in most US presidential contests, the candidates represent clear alternatives, between a larger, more interventionist state and a stripped-down, market-oriented one. Mr Romney has as yet failed to gain decisive support for his vision of America. After last night, that could change. Both men still have everything to play for.
Syria vs Turkey
The conflict in Syria has already become a proxy war for its neighbours, with Iran exerting influence over the Assad regime and Saudi Arabia actively backing rebel forces. Now the war has, worryingly, become openly cross-border, with the Syrian shelling of a Turkish town yesterday and the counter-shelling by Turkey of targets in Syria. The problem is that Turkey, with its huge military strength, is a member of Nato: the organisation has already condemned the Syrian attack. Turkey is now calling on the UN Security Council to take "all necessary action".
It was always a concern that the war might draw in Syria's neighbours, and not just because the Assad regime threatened to use its chemical weapons against outside aggressors. Turkey was already squarely on the rebel side and has sheltered thousands of Syrian refugees. But an open involvement in the conflict would not be in its own interests, nor that of the Syrians. Certainly it would not be in the interests of Nato. It is too late to prevent the conflict within Syria escalating but we should at least intervene to prevent it spreading. The Foreign Secretary has quite rightly expressed indignation on Turkey's behalf; behind the scenes, he should also be urging restraint.
British Gas lights up
It is great news that British Gas is the latest enthusiastic participant in this paper's Ladder for London campaign to encourage companies to take on young apprentices. More than 100 companies have now signed up; British Gas has promised to take one apprentice from each London borough. This shows respect for the young and for the old tradition of apprenticeship and a heartening sense of social responsibility. We are confident that the young people taken on will repay the trust of companies that give them a chance and that this will prove to be a relationship that benefits everyone involved.

Green vs Jones Jr. in Australia?
By Craig Watt
At 11am EST in Sydney, Australia on Wednesday the details of an Australian "super bout" will be announced between former WBA light heavyweight champion Danny Green (26-3, 23 KOs) and former four weight world champion Roy Jones Jnr (53-5, 39 KO's) which is expected to be held in Australia, later in 2009. The rumour mill in Australia had been running overtime this week when Danny Green postponed a planned fight with Shannon Taylor, pencilled for August 5th in Wollongong which was a second comeback fight for the 36-year-old former champion from Perth, Western Australia. It is expected that Danny Green will initially fight on the undercard of the August 15th fight in New Orleans when Roy Jones Jr takes on Jeff Lacy. Should both fighters be victorious then a planned match up at 175 pounds will take place in Australia later in 2009. The details and venue will be announced on Wednesday morning.
It was expected that Green's boxing comeback would result in a rematch of their 2006 fight with former two time WBA super-middleweight champion Anthony Mundine but this has not been inked and many would argue Danny Green has secured a more meaningful bout.
Mundine has publicly stated recently that he did not see a rematch with Green as a meaningful bout for him and wished to campaign at middleweight and chase WBA champion Felix Sturm after securing the WBA#1 mandatory position recently. Last month Mundine secured the IBO middleweight title with a split points win over Daniel Geale in Brisbane and stated his future lied in the middleweight division, looking for unification fights rather than take a lucrative rematch with his former adversary Green up at 175 pounds.
Roy Jones will appear live via satellite from Pensacola, Florida at the press conference to be held at the FOXTEL headquarters in Sydney and the fight will be distributed on PPV in Australia by Main Events.
The conference will be shown live on Foxtel channel 518 Main Events in Australia from 11am EST on Wednesday.

The word was out on the street last week on Sun's latest earnings report.
"Sun Microsystems just took a big step backward. The network server company swung to a loss in its most recent quarter, ending five straight quarters of profit . . ."
A big step backward. Which is exactly what can be said of Sun's latest TPC-H benchmark published earlier this week.(1) A 1TB result on a system that surely should have played in the big league with a much larger database. Why not the new 30TB database size? Or the 10TB size, or at least the 3TB size. Database scaling has increased over the years for this benchmark in order to reflect the growing requirements of today's users. And IBM holds the #1 result on the TPC-H benchmark at the 10TB level.(2)
If you're going to play, step forward and play in the majors.

+1, Plus I find cleaning my guns really relaxing!Originally Posted by rocky
Daily inspection re lint etc - and when needed compressed air blast for that.
Cleaning will follow a substantial shoot but - usually prefer after cleaning to run some rounds thru and then gun is carry-ready - just a means of ''proving'' it.
I am not after a pristine and perfect carry piece - but I do want to know it is dead on reliable, thus the preference to shoot a few after a clean. Between times I will also do a quick field strip and check slide lube - plus probably a mag rotation.
I tend to ditch ''top rounds'' periodically if they have been chambered a few times - possibly even get calipers and check OAL - those rounds get put aside and eventually shot up.
I am no longer a clean-gun fetishist - emphasis is always on function and a lightly ''soiled'' gun does not bother me any. Add to that even my ST after 18 months of daily carry shows holster wear in places - no prob', it goes with the territory.

I clean and lube any weapon after I first purchase it and after each range trip....it's a military thing.
I also check any gun I haven't fired in a while to see if it needs re-lubing, but with Militech (which sticks to where ever you lube), I rarely have to re-lube any gun.

Same here srfl, in addition I'll clean the bores twice a month.
It comes a time in your life when you run across someone you should have never @#$$% with. Allow me to introduce myself!
I clean it every time I shoot it. Since I love fondling the doggoned thing, as I do all my firearms, I take it apart and clean it about once a week, just for fun!
P95 -- same here on the top rounds deal. I've become a nut on that after noting a round that suddenly got a whole lot shorter after chambering a couple times. I quit carrying that brand and after any chambering, the top round goes to the practice box.Originally Posted by P95Carry
It gets really humid here (I should have bought the Milt Sparks holster with the sweat lining, but so far the EX is not doing bad). I've checked my Colt and found it covered in sweat, so that's a daily or more wipe down. Still looks pretty good to me. Wear marks are "experience."
My XD gets cleaned every 200 rounds plus whenever I fall in the lake.
Don't ask.
Cleaned before carry if comeing out of storeage , cleaned after any shooting , cleaned once a week while carryed if not shot . Inspected daily visualy before carry tho not function checked .
Make sure you get full value out of today , Do something worthwhile, because what you do today will cost you one day off the rest of your life .
We only begin to understand folks after we stop and think .
Criminals are looking for victims, not opponents.
Cleaned after trip to range which is at least twice a month.
I wipe it down weekly and pdq after shooting it. I also change magazines every two weeks. I carry one magazine in the gun and a spare. Cheap insurance. When I shoot it, I draw from the holster, just as its carried and shoot it. That way I know whether it will work or not. This method has not failed me in almost 36 years.

Project DescriptionPop-Up House: an innovative construction process
Four days and a wireless screwdriver are all you need to build your very own Pop-Up House. The structure, compiled of insulating blocks and wooden panels, delivers affordable thermal insulation like you'd never believe.
Heating represents close to 28% of global energy consumption and is also one of the main household costs. Determined to develop solutions, Multipod Studio have patented a unique approach to passive construction that delivers outsanding thermal insulation at an affordable cost. No special tools required, the house is assembled using lightweight and recyclable materials for quick installation. The materials used are inexpensive so the cost remains unbeatable and the thermal envelope created means no additional heating is necessary. The first prototype of this new type of passive house, has bloomed in the pine valleys of the South of France.
The Pop-Up House is an innovative concept that aims to challenge passive house construction.
Low cost, recyclable and passive, the Pop-Up House has all of the qualities of tomorrow's homes.
Technical specifications:
Area: 150m2
Wooden floor mounted on micro-piles
Tools required: wireless screwdriver
Price: insulating structure= 200€ per m2
Thermal insulation: 30cm ground, wall, ceiling >>> passivhaus standard compliant
The Pop-Up House concept has been developed by the design studio Multipod.

Watch out Tesla – there's another California-based zero-emissions sports car company in the works: Steenstra GCM. Founded by designer and auto industry consultant Cornelis Steenstra, the Styletto isn't just about creating a guilt-free car, but one meant to compete with the Ferraris and Lamborghinis at the top of the heap. And, judging by the images in our gallery below, we're guessing it'll do battle with the Italians with a whole heap of batteries onboard.
Steenstra hasn't released any information on the car yet, but it is being billed as "the first 200-mph-plus super sports car to be built in California." If all goes well and the company can get its financial legs, the Styletto will be formally introduced at the 2010 Pebble Beach Concourse d' Elegance and you'll be able to buy one in 2013. For now, you can read about it in the press release after the jump.

Bruce Borland Course
The Borland Par 3 Course at Colleton River is a hidden gem—every bit as lush as the Nicklaus Course and as precise as the Dye Course. Similar to Augusta National's Par 3, the course was designed by Bruce Borland, a golf course architect for Nicklaus Design, who died tragically in 1999 in an airplane accident that also took the life of PGA Hall of Famer Payne Stewart. This course was named in his honor.
With multiple tees, and holes ranging in distance from 64 yards to 123 yards from the back tees, this 9-hole walking course is ideal for improving your chipping and putting game. And with wooded areas, freshwater lagoons and native wildlife, it's also stunningly beautiful and a perfect complement to Colleton River's other truly exceptional courses—the challenging and playable Nicklaus Course or the links-style Dye Course.
The Bruce Borland Course is a fun yet challenging way to improve and perfect your short game—and also a great place for children and grandchildren to get introduced to the game of golf.

Gothic 3 - Review at GamePyre
The latest site to review Gothic 3 is GamePyre, in an oddly formatted 7 page review that awards the game a 65/100, hitting the game hard for the impact of bugs on fun, and notes:
don't like this review. He says the battles are too difficult? then let him try and play G1 or G2, the batles are quite too easy in g3, although I still die a lot.
And he only gives a 5 on Replay Ability.
Uh??? do I need to say more?
I do agree with him that the game has been released a bit too soon
Agreed, and I do agree his scores suck and the replay 5, or how about orginality 7or sound 5 (this includes music too afaik)?
It's as if he was playing a different game, but the one shining light is the fact correclty points and blames the publsiher, so he isn't completly insane. ;)
65 is about right for a "low score". Not that I think the game is anywhere close to that, but the game did come out far to buggy with way to steep rig requirements.

The spice, turmeric, contains a substance that has shown promise in the prevention and treatment of several diseases, including cancer. The only drawback is that the substance—curcumin—does not easily enter the bloodstream. Now, Anirban Maitra, associate professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and affiliated faculty member of the Institute for NanoBioTechnology, has created tiny, nano-curcumin particles so small they can be absorbed into the bloodstream through the stomach. Maitra was interviewed October 28, 2008 by Kellye Lynn of WJZ-TV in Baltimore.

" Brand: Boots / Type: Cleansing Lotion / Subcategory: Lotion / Skin type: for dry skin and for all types / What it does: Cleanses / Product line: Boots Essentials "
Boots Essentials Fragrance Free Cleansing Lotion is a facial cleanser which is suitable for skin that is sensitive or allergic to perfume and works to gently remove make up and excess oils leaving skin clean, soft and smooth.
This cleansing lotion true to being a very affordable 'essential' product comes in very basic packaging, a translucent bottle with a blue lid and blue writing - very fitting for its budget nature. Although its nothing special, it works well and there is nothing I'd complain about.
The cleanser, as you'd expect from a fragrance free product, has a very subtle non obtrusive scent that doesn't bother me.
The consistency of the cleansy is a very runny white liquid/cream. This makes the cleanser spread easily around the face however can sometimes make the application difficult as if you accidentally use too much, the cleanser will run off the cotton wool ( I apply the cleanser to a large cotton pad and spread around my face to remove my makeup and repeat the process until all my makeup is removed).
With sensitive skin I sometimes find that cleanser can sting my skin. This cleanser can occasionally sting my skin ( very minimal and only when my skin is burnt or on active breakouts), however this is not something that stopped me using the product.
After using this, my skin is left smooth, not irritated nor dried out. However I do find that a significant amount of residue is left on my skin, which I would advise to those who get annoyed by this to follow with a toner.
As for makeup removing ability, this cleanser, after a couple of repeated applications, will thoroughly remove your face makeup and any eye makeup (including mascara). I do feel that I do follow with an eye makeup remover to completely remove the remains of my eye makeup.
For me, I like a cleanser to improve the condition of my skin. Although this doesn't seem to irritate my skin or cause breakouts, I haven't seen any positive improvement in the condition of my skin and breakouts still continue to occur.
Overall I feel that this matches its claims. It gently removes makeup leaving skin soft and smooth however it does so by leaving a residue. If you are wanting a budget product to remove you makeup then this does the job however if you want your skin to have a deeper clean and you want to see an improvement, this may not be for you.
This product is exclusive to Boots at £1.42/150ml
I give this product ****
I started using this cleanser when my skin was very sensitive. I'd tried all sorts of expensive cleansers for sensitive skin but everything brought my eczema out so I resorted to this cleanser. It's only £1.39 for 150ml (obviously from Boots), which lasts me 3-4 weeks when cleansing morning and night. It's in a plain plastic bottle with a blue cap and writing, like all of the essentials fragrance free range.
The cleanser itself is white and of just the right consistency, you can smooth it round your face easily enough. It comes off easily with cotton wool and seems to lift the dirt from my face quickly and easily. It doesn't leave a sticky feeling afterwards and doesn't leave any residue. It obviously doesn't smell of anything (as it's fragrance free) and it doesn't irritate my skin. I haven't had any breakouts since using it and equally I've had no dry patches on my skin or that taut feeling I sometimes get when I use other harsher cleansers. There really isn't a lot else to say about this cleanser, because it really just does what it says on the bottle.
All in all a good budget cleanser that seems to really work for me!
Boots Essentials Fragrance Free Cleansing Lotion
What is it?
A facial cleansing lotion by Boots.
Special features?
This is a very basic, plain cleansing lotion that is colour and fragrance free. It claims to be suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin and contains a vitamin enriched formula.
What do I think?
I think this is a great basic cleanser, especially if you're on a budget. It is only £1.39 for a 150ml bottle and cleans just as well as any other well known brand facial cleanser that I have tried. It is very easy to rub into the face and isn't too sticky. The consistency is a little runny but isn't really too much of an issue unless you're really careless with fluids. It doesn't seem to be as moisturising as some other cleansers and I don't know if it's psychological but I just still find that my face doesn't look at radiant and glowing after using this than a few other brands I've tried - but hey, if you're on a budget....
To be honest, for such a low price, this basic lotion does the job and is very effective, but just is without the perks. It may not have lots benefits and brilliant miracles, but at least it doesn't do any damage, I feel that this is the important thing, i.e.it doesn't dry out the face, I accidently left this on my face over night, and my face seemed fine. It easy to remove, gentle on the skin and remove dirt effectively - what more can you ask?
Definitely value for money. Basic but still a big tick in my book.
Thanks for reading.

The FCC has announced that it will fine AT&T $25 million for data breaches and theft of consumer information, including social security numbers.
Verizon has finally added the ability to opt out of its highly controversial supercookie tracking program, but the move is unlikely to satisfy privacy advocates — and it's part of a wider trend towards comprehensive data gathering on customers.
Think you have a pretty good understanding of LTE? This article takes a deep look into how LTE is deployed, how LTE works as a radio technology, the types of LTE, how LTE affects battery life, what carriers will do with LTE, and the future of 4G as a whole.
Google has confirmed that it intends to offer some form of carrier service across partner networks, but may stop short of offering a cohesive smartphone brand.
AT&T will roll out its Gigapower service to Kansas City soon, but it's only matching Google Fiber's pricing if you're willing to be spied on.
As of today, the major wireless companies have agreed to mutually set policies that enable cell phone unlocking on both prepaid and post-paid devices. Details vary by vendor, but the top carriers now allow unlocking under a common set of principles.
The FCC voted to greatly increase its definition of broadband service, from the previous definition of 4Mbit down and 1Mbit up to the new standard of 25Mbps down and 3Mbps up. According to FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, this move reflects the tremendous growth in consumer data consumption, the growing popularity of services like Netflix, and the need to create a future-proof standard that won't be obviated in a handful of years.
A new proposal from the White House would emphasize community broadband and municipal Internet access programs, while a 20th state is considering banning such utilities at the behest of a cable company.
The debate over net neutrality got a touch more heated this week as IBM, Intel, and Qualcomm collectively asked the government not to invoke Title II — i.e the common carrier provision — in an attempt to enforce net neutrality. In a joint letter to Congress and the FCC itself, the companies collectively argue that proposed regulation under Title II would damage corporate competitiveness, network upgrades, and the overall customer experience. Unfortunately, they're wrong.
AT&T has made more tweaks to the Nexus 6 than anyone expected, but Motorola didn't let the carrier go nuts. This is still a Nexus in every way that matters.

Residents Can Track Crime With New Online Program
The Gainesville Police Department is teaming up with five other agencies in Alachua County to start up a new online program that tells you where crimes in our area are happening.
TV20 first told you about the new program in March called, Crime Report. It's a new website designed to point out various crimes throughout the county. Anyone can click to see where and when crimes happened. The system updates every night and you can search for crimes dating back to two years. The online database can also locate sex offenders.
"Each of those law enforcement agencies is now on board and there's one uniform easy to use, quickly updated, rapidly updated form of venue for you as a citizen or the media to track crimes in your community," Alachua County Sheriff's Office Deputy Lt. Steve Maynard said.
You can access the site by logging onto to GPD's main webpage at gainesvillepd.org.
Officials say the program is funded through forfeiture money and private donors.

Window Cleaning Tools
The best way to get started is to purchase a window cleaning tool kit. At the bottom of the page is a link that will show you available window cleaning kits.
Window Cleaning Squeegee
The squeegee is the main tool used to remove the water/cleaning solution from the glass after it has been scrubbed. A squeegee consists of three parts: handle, metal channel, and rubber blade.
Tip: Don't buy a cheap squeegee at a department or hardware store. They might be great for the shower, but will not deliver the proper performance needed for cleaning the windows on your house.
More detailed information on the proper Window Cleaning Squeegee
Scrubbing Wand
The scrubbing wand, sometimes called the T-handle, is one of the window cleaning tools that does the actual scrubbing of the window. The wand is formed in the shape of a T and is made of lightweight durable plastic. A reusable lint-free wand cover sleeve slips over the top and is held in place with snaps or Velcro tabs. The wand is then dipped into a bucket filled with a professional window cleaning soap or your homemade window cleaner.
More detailed information on the proper Scrubbing Wand
Window Cleaning Tool Belt
A Window cleaning tool belt is very when properly set up. They will hold your squeegee, wiping cloths, scraper, extra blades, and wand bucket, along with other items you may want. Everything is conveniently within reach at hip level.
Having this type of system is the best. It will keep all your tools safe, clean and organized so you can stay focused on the task at hand.
More detailed information on the proper Window Cleaning Tool Belt
Window Cleaning Buckets
When it comes to choosing a bucket, decide for yourself which one might work best for you. You can choose one that hooks on your belt or one that sits on the floor. The advantage to one that hooks to your belt is that it is convenient when working on ladders.
More detailed information on the proper Window Cleaning Buckets
Window Scraper
Tools such as the window scraper are very important to understand. When it comes to removing debris from glass, you want to use a professional grade window scraper. These scrapers are specially designed to be used on glass. Any other tool used to scrape windows, such as standard house hold razors, box cutters, or putty knives etc. will cause damage to the glass.
More detailed information on the proper Window Scraper
Window Cleaning Towels
Believe it or not, the window cleaning towels that will be used are not actually used for cleaning the glass. The cleaning is done almost exclusively with the scrubbing wand itself. The cleaning cloths are used primarily for wiping edges or blotting small spots that were missed by the squeegee.
More detailed information on the proper Window Cleaning Towels
Extension Poles
You may want to add an extension pole to your window cleaning tools list. Extension poles are sometimes used when that little extra reach is needed. While it does take some extra practice and skill to use the pole, it can be a valuable and handy tool to know how to use.
Ladders & Accessories
If you've never used ladders before, you might want to stick with a simple step ladder that is no taller than six feet. Anything taller can be dangerous for beginners, especially when working on slippery surfaces or on uneven ground outside. You should only use larger extension ladders if you have experience. Even then, be sure to use great caution and safety measures.
There are also many different tools and accessories that will aid you with cleaning windows. These items include ladder safety aids that help you reach difficult windows in staircases, sloped hillsides, working on slippery surfaces, etc.
More detailed information on the proper Ladders & Accessories
Homemade Window Cleaner
The cleaning solution is also part of your window cleaning tools. You can purchase a professional window cleaning soap or make your very own. Most people think that the real secret to window cleaning is the solution. In fact, the real secret is all in the window cleaning techniques. When it comes to the cleaning solution, there is no need to put together strange concoctions that consist of vinegar, rubbing alcohol, ammonia or starch. In fact, some of these products can cause damage to wood frames and rubber seals around windows.
