PBFR 2008 Awards!
By Alexey Sukachev
Professional Boxing Federation of Russia has finally summed up the results and announced the best of the best in Russian boxing over the last year. The "Fighter of the Year" trophy has been awarded to WBO #6 rated middleweight Dmitry Pirog (13-0, 11 KOs). During 2008, Pirog, who had previously been considered as one of this country's best prospects, notched three sound victories and not surprisingly emerged as a bona-fide contender in the 160lb class.
In April, he scored several knockdowns and ultimately stopped tough countryman Aslanbek Kodzoev in four one-sided rounds. Three months later, Dmitry displayed his skills against rock-headed British-based Serbian Geard Ajetovic winning a wide unanimous decision over this durable foe. Temrjuk native Pirog came back to the ring in December to stop fringe Uzbek contender Kuvanych Toygonbayev in five and to retain his WBC Asian Boxing Council and WBO Asia Pacific belts. Dmitry Pirog overpowered several opponents en route to the trophy, including fellow middleweight Gennady Martirosyan and WBA regular heavyweight champion Nikolay Valuev.
Ekaterinburg boxing tsar German Titov once again took home the "Promoter of the Year" award. Titov was by far the most active Russian promoter in 2008, staging 79 bouts in several big cities across Russia, including the hometown Saint Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod and Kazan. Most of his shows were incrusted with various minor belts. Titov has also arranged a tournament in cooperation with the Russian second most active promoter Alexander Yagupov and was the only boxing promoter in Russia to gain regular TV exposure for his boxers with a help of REN-TV channel.
Meanwhile, Petersburg-based Yagupov staged 41 fights, mostly in the Northern Palmira. 2008 was a breakthrough year for the former Russian and European bantamweight champion turned promoter. Also, one of Yagupov's best hopes middleweight Gennady Martirosyan (now WBO #15) took part in 2008 "Best fight of the Year" in Russia, when he overcame hard-nosed veteran Alexey Chirkov in a short but all-action slugfest for a vacant national title in 160lbs. Chirkov was forced to stay on his stool after a brutal and desperate comeback assault of Martirosyan in the third round. He also defeated capable Europeans Attila Kovacs and Steve Conway during the last year.

Commercial Director Nic Mathieu to Direct WB's New 'Robotech' Movie
by Ben Pearson
January 25, 2013
Source: THR
With Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim stomping into theaters this summer (and a sequel hot on its heels), Steven Spielberg's Robopocalypse still on the horizon despite a recent delay, a Gaiking adaptation on the way, and Michael Bay's Transformers 4 coming in 2014, it looks like one of the next big blockbuster trends will be giant robots smashing their way through theaters. THR reports that Warner Bros. has signed commercial director Nic Mathieu to direct Robotech, the long-gestating adaptation of the Japanese anime property that producer Tobey Maguire has been trying to get together since 2007. More below!
THR calls the story a "sprawling sci-fi epic" that takes place on Earth after an alien spacecraft has crash landed. Humans have engineered giant robots from the technology, and must use their newfound weaponry to hold off three waves of alien invaders. They're looking to develop this as a franchise starter (natch), so basing one movie on each of the three big attacks seems like a no brainer. Robotech will be Mathieu's directorial debut, but you can check out a batch of his commercial work here if you're interested in getting a feel for what kind of stuff he's done in the past.
I would say that the viability of this project is questionable to me, but in a world in which Dwayne Johnson tries to get a movie going based on a single illustration, anything is possible. Maybe Maguire's involvement (along with producers Akiva Goldsman, Matthew Plouffe, Joby Harold and Tory Tunnell) and a script that was once written by Lawrence Kasdan can help separate this project from a lot of those others in development that sound extremely similar. Interested?

In Memoriam: Nancy Lesley FLORER 1914 ~ 2007
Nancy, daughter of Grace Ogden, was born in Point Grey, B.C. She enjoyed her work as a bookkeeper at the GMAC Finance Company. Eventually, she managed an office where she rented office space to, and was bookkeeper for, several small businesses.
In early years as a wife and mother of three, she volunteered for many church activities. Later, needlepoint, tennis, golf and boating took much of her time. Nancy's accomplishments include being a gracious host, a Life Master Bridge Player, a proud member of the Women's University Club and the Seattle Tennis Club.
She will be remembered for her sense of style, wit, spunk, great cooking, and enjoyment of time spent with friends and family.

Remembering Nancy and Bob Florer
When I first met Dr. and Mrs. Florer in 1965, they were the parents of my new school friend, Jan. Mrs. Florer would pick up Jan, Lesley and me after school on a Friday night and the fun would begin with an appetizer at Dick's Hamburgers on Broadway. Over the following decades, Dr. and Mrs. Florer became Bob and Nancy. They were, have been and continue to be a blessing in my life, for their many kindnesses, delicious meals, sense of humor and the ways they lived their lives all the way through.
My childhood was brightened and deeply enriched thanks to the entire Florer Family; I enjoyed trips with the Florers that I love thinking about decades later; Lake Chelan and Dr. Florer's blue motorboat a happy memory. Mrs. Florer was an amazing cook and every meal always felt festive and fancy.
It is now 47 years after first meeting the Florers; so there is a g much valued history of good times that I can look back on when I think of Bob and Nancy. When I moved to Massachusetts in 1988, a small miracle happened - for the friendship between Mrs. Florer and me became a true letter friendship and Mrs. Florer became Nancy. This friendship lasted until her death in 2007. Jan, the oldest and most cherished of my friends, was so gracious about this friendship that first blossomed between Nancy and me and, when Nancy died, continued with emails between Bob and me. The two of them are bright stars in my life and I am a better person for knowing them.
Nancy's letters and Bob's emails (always short - as Bob would often write, "Just wrote a long letter and it disappeared before I could send it. You are lucky.") were filled with news about the rodies, the begonias, the maj Jongg lessons, times spent in Palm Desert, vacations to Maui, Mexico and Panama. Both Bob and Nancy had such a fun sense of humor, with Nancy writing, "We munch your cookies with silent enjoyment." When writing about Jan's new car, "Enter the first Mazda into our famile circle ... we all shared our grief over the demise of Grey Baby (the Malibu that Mrs. Florer had owned prior to Jan)..."
I so admire all the love and support that Jan, Lesley and Bill gave Nancy and Bob, so that they could live in their Sunset Ave. home all the way through. The best part of the letters and emails and phone calls were always about Bill, Jan, Lesley - and, at the end, their greatest treasure, Avery. As Nancy would write, "Avery is such a sheer joy to us. ... She is of course perfect and accepts the adoration of her parents and grandparents as her just due." Nancy and Bob loved the way Bill was a parent, "Bill is so involved with Avery and with taking her to so many places ... I am glad that a game of golf offers a complete change of pace which he really does need at times..." Nancy would write that, "Lesley is going great places with her massaging profession. I'm so pleased that all is working out for her." Another time she'd share how please she was to spend time with Lesley, "She and I have lunch occasionally and I do so look forward to each lunch."
Many letters would include a sentence or two about Bill calling up for cooking discussions - "Just had a call from Bill, he needed to know how to cook a flank steak." Just an aside, once you had Nancy's flank steak, you knew you HAD to get the recipe. However, even though Nancy wrote out the recipe for me and I've made it a few times, it will never be as delicious as her flank steak and gravy! Both Bob and Nancy loved the visits from "the Phoenix group" - Bill, Lynn and Avery - "It was SO much fun having them!!!" (Yes, all those exclamations.) "Our little house runneth over, but it is such fun."
An amazing needlepointer, Nancy was modest about her accomplishments and so excited about Jan's cross stitched works, her cradle for Avery, "I was and still am, absolutely amazed." "Jan came over on Saturday and brought dinner, she is so dear to us." "We had a lovely Thanksgiving - both girls came and brought their pies!" "Jan is so busy and then she comes up with surprises, such as her cross stitch projects. They are so lovely have a true professional look."
Bob and Nancy were unflinching and honest and still funny about growing old. That may be one of the most powerful lessons I think on now. When Nancy wrote about hearing aids, she said, "We both have headsets for the T.V. The kind you can get in the theatres. We ARE a pair!." "I just finished a Wallbanger cake, not really so great, but Bob really enjoyed it. Thank goodness he finished it off joyfully." "Bob is calling me to join him in our preprandial happy hour - he reads the paper, I read my Smithsonian and we occasionally peer at the boob tube. So I'd best go, the calories are calling."
When Nancy died, Bob would email how hard "the loss of my dear Nancy" was for him and then say, "The help of Lesley and Jan and Bill means a lot to me." At one point, when Bob had had to most of the cooking, he then wrote the happy news thatn, "Nancy has now prepared dinner several times. Sure an improvement over my culinary failures."
I wish I could do a better job at describing the kindness and humor and warmth and human-ness of Bob and Nancy. They have been and will continue to be an important part of my life. Moving away meant that I could become a different sort of friend with both Nancy and Bob. Nancy's letters are amazing. To paraphrase E. B. White, It is not often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer. Nancy was both.

It's a long shot but I'm up against it and was looking for some suggestions.
I have a scene with some area lights and a simple HDR. Most of the reflections are coming from the lighting. My shaders are very glossy around 0.15 and glossy samples are 82. The problem is my reflection pass is slightly buzzing mostly around edges and there's bright dots running through it in the final renders.
My render settings are 1 and 16, contrast 0.05, Mitchell 3/3, maya 2012, no fg
If I want a baby smooth reflection pass should I just be putting up the glossy samples in the shader more? Or am I missing something?
There is a fine noise as a bump map and I think this might have something too do with it.
Anyone ever have similar issues dialling out reflection noise with mental ray?
Any help is welcome. Cheers

Definition of grift
transitive verb
: to obtain (money) illicitly (as in a confidence game)
intransitive verb
: to acquire money or property illicitly
grift was our Word of the Day on 03/22/2013. Hear the podcast!
Theme music by Joshua Stamper ©2006 New Jerusalem Music/ASCAP
Did You Know?
Grift was born in the argot of the underworld, a realm in which a "grifter" might be a pickpocket, a crooked gambler, or a confidence man-any criminal who relied on skill and wits rather than physical violence-and to be "on the grift" was to make a living by stings and clever thefts. "Grift" may have evolved from "graft," a slightly older word meaning "to acquire dishonestly," but its exact origins are uncertain. We do know that the verb "grift" first finagled its way into print in 1915 in George Bronson-Howard's God's Man: "Grifting ain't what it used to be. Fourteenth Street's got protection down to a system-a regular underworld tariff on larceny."
Origin and Etymology of grift
grift, noun, perhaps alteration of graft

I have a 73 XR-7 that has the spare tire lock. I have a new trunk mat to replace the torn one, and when I unlocked the spare tire to remove it, the lock wont come off. The key does unlock it, where it just spins. I have tried pulling up on it as I turned it, to no avail.
I have even "gently" tapped it with a dead blow, in case something is sticking.
I do not want to cut it off, and ideas?

Tutorial #5: Glass Pill
This is for those who want to know how to create those awesome web-interface pills that we see almost everywhere. Now this is just a glass pill (virtually invisible). But if you do something right, you can modify the PSD file to make a huge variety of colored pills.
Here's how to create the Glass pill.
Step 1: Start a NEW RGB document with 102x30 pixel size, at 72ppi, with a transparent background.
Step 2: Press the U key to bring up the shapes tool. Now you have to use the Rounded Rectangle tool, so SHIFT + U until you get the Rounded Rectangle tool. Now, up at the OPTIONS bar, click the button whose Tooltip reads "Shape Layers". It should be the second button from the left.
Step 3: Click the DOWN arrow next to the weird star shape on the OPTIONS bar, and tick the option for FIXED SIZE. Set the width to 98 pixels, and the height to 23 pixels.
Step 4: Once you've set the fixed size, click and hold the mouse button over the document, and drag the shape so that it is at the very top and very left of the document.
Step 5: To save you some time when you want to make a bunch of these, after dragging the shape out, Head to EDIT > DEFINE CUSTOM SHAPE. A dialog will pop up. Name the shape PILL. Click OK.
Step 6: After you create the custom shape, open the Layers palette (WINDOW > LAYERS), and right click on the shape layer you've just created. From the right-click menu, select RASTERIZE LAYER (from the Menu bar where FILE is, the equivalent is LAYER > RASTERIZE > LAYER).
Step 7: Now, we are going to add the Layer Styles to make it look like a pill. Be warned, the first style we set will make it completely invisible,but it will reappear.
Step 8: For the first style, in the Layers palette, find the FILL drop-down slider, and set it to 0%. This will make the pill disappear.
Step 9: Next, in the Layers palette again, click the dark circle at the bottom of the palette. It has a little 'F' in it. From the menu that appears, select Drop Shadow. Change the settings to:
Distance: 3
Size: 6
Step 10: From the check-boxes on the left, click on the text "INNER GLOW". This will open the Inner Glow options, and check the box. Change the settings of Inner Glow to:
Blend Mode: Multiply
Color: Black
Size: 2
Step 11: Choose "BEVEL AND EMBOSS" from the styles list on the left. Change the following to:
Technique: Chisel Hard
Depth: 391%
Size: 9
Soften: 3
Use Global Light: NO
Text box above "Use Global Light": set to -60
Text box below "Use Global Light": set to 65
Gloss Contour: Click the pattern to edit it, and make it as close as possible to the first graph.
Highlight Mode Opacity: 90
Shadow Mode Opacity: 50
After completing the Graph, click the button in the Custom Contour dialog that says "NEW". This will allow you to save the Contour to the Contours list. This way, you won't have to keep doing the graph every time.
Step 12: Now, from the list on the left yet again, choose "CONTOUR" . Change the settings as follows:
Anti-Aliased: YES
Range: 100%
Curve: Click the pattern to edit; Try and get it as close as possible to the second graph. Click the NEW button after creating it to save it to the Contours list.
Step 13: Again from the list on the left, choose "SATIN". Cange the following settings:
Blend Mode: Overlay
Angle: 135
Distance: 8
Size: 9
Contour: Cone - Inverted
Anti-Aliased: Checked
Invert: NO
Step 14: Finally, add a "COLOR OVERLAY", with the following settings:
Blend Mode: Lighten
Color: Click the color to edit, and in the color dialog box, find the text box labeled "#". In this text box, input the hex code D1D5FF. Hex codes use the numbers from 0-9 and letters from A-F.
Opacity: 15%
Step 15: You've completed the layer style! But you will want to create a new style so you don't have to go through all this again. Click the button on the right labeled: "New Style..." Give it a name, and click OK (I suggest the name "GLASS PILL").
Step 16: It should come out looking like the first pill in the top row in the image below. If it does, you've done everything correctly. The other pills show what you can do with this same layer style. To do these, create a new layer (SHIFT + CTRL + N). In the Layers palette, drag the new layer below the pill layer. Fill the new layer with a pattern, gradient, solid color, whatever. Now, CTRL + CLICK on the pill layer. This should select the pill shape but not the styles. Press SHIFT + CTRL + I to invert the selection. Make sure that the pattern layer is still selected in the Layers palette. Also make sure that the document is active (When you click in the Layers Palette, this makes the document uneditable because it makes the document inactive). Press the DEL key to trim the unneeded sections of the pattern.
You should Have a good-looking pill now!
Check out this image. It has the buttons that I mentioned that you click during the course of this tutorial, it also has the graphs to make the Contours. I have also attached several examples of Pills for you to look at.
NY's Most Wanted
I created this Nexium Pill!!!
I did it the same way as described in the tutorial, but I created a custom gradient utilizing a bunch of tabs that tell the program how you want the gradient to look. Then I added the NEXIUM text. Compare the pill to the pills on the pill's website here.
I have also created a Prevacid Pill, and an Enalapril Pill, and also a Cyanide Pill (Actually, I don't even know what a Cyanide pill looks like; my pill is cyan in color, hence the name!)

This site does not currently take bookings here on Pitchup.com.
Find nearby sites with availability…
If you are the owner of this site, start taking bookings through Pitchup.com by adding your business details.
We are an off-grid riverside campsite in central Portugal where the emphasis is very much on socialising with fellow travellers and campers.
Gaio Camping is in the foothills of the Estrela Mountains. Lack of light pollution makes the night sky in this area spectacular. We have two 3m geodomes for rent and pitches for tents.
We are completely off grid with a large solar system and solar showers. Gaio is on a floodplain and so the whole site is dismantled and packed away for the winter. Much like a festival crew, we pack everything down and store it and clear the ground down to the last bottle top!
The site has been described as having a festival atmosphere.
The site is on the River Alva and includes a wildflower-covered meadow and a beautiful black walnut grove. The river is the perfect temperature for swimming and vital in the summer months to cool off.
We have a large kitchen/entertainment dome where we have regular live music and lots of laughter. Delicious meals can be booked in advance and breakfast is available every day.
Dogs are more than welcome.
Open from 01/05/2017 to 07/10/2017

✓ English

(2 nights)
Many sites set a maximum occupancy of 6/8 people per pitch, so try breaking your booking down into smaller groups to generate more results. For example, if you're a group of 10, enter 5 people in your initial search and then book 2 pitches.
However, where the pitch or accommodation occupancy allows it, you can now make a booking for up to 30 adults and 30 children on one pitch.
To book multiple pitches or accommodation, use the 'Special requests' box on the booking page to ask to be sited together. Complete the booking form for the first booking (you can add a password and save your card so that we remember your details). Then click "Make another booking like this" at the top of the confirmation page to make the next booking.
Large groups: check the listing page for any group restrictions set out in the terms and section titled 'Please note'.
Large tents/caravans: check the restrictions on unit dimensions to ensure your unit is suitable for the space you will be provided with.

We live in a world where design is constantly being borrowed and then reinterpreted. And it seems there are no limits to how or where we can draw our inspiration from, as many of the freshest ideas are found in seemingly unrelated areas ranging from fashion and architecture to desk lamps and cell phones. It just takes some good old fashioned observation and imagination to bring it all together. Did BMW consider the Rolex Submariner 55XX, a classic watch that debuted in 1953, when designing their now iconic 507 sports car? Probably not…but we certainly would have.
Chunky metal makes for an industrial look on the 507 and the Submariner
Built for speed and precision, the black steel enamel bezel of the Rolex shines like the black lacquered style paint of the 507.
A perfect example of not over designing the product – nothing is there that doesn't need to be.
The simple Submariner dial shares details with that of the 507 – a black face with white numbers and sticks.
The lines are fluid and smooth, but the components are substantial and strong – you know when you have this watch on your wrist, the same way the sporty yet muscular stance of the 507 has heavy street presence.

Dallas went to my school we were really good friends. Knowing that he is locked up makes me sad if he wasnt the one who killed Reed Ballard then i dont think hw should be locked up yes he was part of the scene but not the crime that was commited ...i think they should lower the price on Dallas and the rest of the students that were invloded with it but didnt kill him the kid (15 year old ) should be the only on who in in prisoned for killing him......

#10 Mar 17, 2008
There are alot of opinions regarding this case...I will say it again...all of these kids were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Its too bad that a young man had to die for the community to take notice. Its too bad that the one who actually pulled the trigger will spend very little time in jail for killing a man. I am the mother of a boy who knows Dallas, this young man has been in my home, and I pray that he keeps his chin up and keeps the faith!! He is a good kid that most likely got caught up in the wrong crowd. Do I believe that he set this up, no I don't!! He is a kind young man, and I have seen nothing but respect come from him. I hope he knows that the people and his friends from Newark are praying for him. Our prayers also go out to Reed's family and friends, and hope that they make it through this very difficult time. I hope that all of the people passing judgment on these kids remember that it could have been one of yours.
#11 Mar 19, 2008
Too bad that when you are with someone that does that, then you are responsible too. That's the law. They were all there for a robery, and unfortunately it went wrong. All 7 of them should be held responsible. When will you kids ever learn that you can't get away with terrorizing people? Give 'em the death penalty! Especially Miguel.
#12 Mar 26, 2008
Dallas was an accessory to murder. He claimed the other victim broke into his home, without reporting the incident, or having proof of who commited this crime, blamed the other victim. It was a set up that Dallas was involved in... HE SHOULD BE IN JAIL... AND FOR A LOOOONNNGGGG TIME!
#13 Mar 26, 2008
You should get your facts straight....dallas never said or implied that it was his home that was broken into, that was Miguel. While he should be there for his part in it, that part IS NOT Capital Murder. Time and a trial will bring out the real truth, I hope to find that all of you who are sooooooo quick to pass judgement on others when he is found innocent of the charge against him. Think before you speak, especially things you know very little about!!
#14 Mar 28, 2008
The last thing I can stand is stupid remarks. Either way it went, Dallas chose to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. HE IS APART OF MURDER!!!! Wether he shot the gun or not. HE WAS THERE.
#16 Apr 10, 2008
I've read your previous comments... you clearly have some issues.... We refuse to choose another topic to discuss because the victims in this case are family or close friends. If you have nothing better to do then get involved in something you don't know anything about and have nothing considerate to say, then you should contact someone for help.
United States
#17 Jun 8, 2008
Dallas is my best friend me and that kidd were like peanut butter and jelly we were always together he is a fabulous kidd and would never do anything he wasnt supposedd to, yeahh maybe he was there that was a mistake but he knows whats right and whats wrong and he just happened to be hanging out with the wrong crowd at the wrong time. This kidd would never hurt a fly, he scared of needles for goodness sakee!! i love him to death and i will always be there for him no matter what. He is and always will be my best friend..I love you James Dalls Hugins.=)

wow, its amazing how people realize after the fact that they them selves or a loved one was with the wrong crowd at the wrong place or time. Common people wake up, wanting to be a badass is a choice....so he or she will always be with wrong crowd in the wrong place at the wrong time...

screw everyone that thinks its OK to let your friend TAKE A GUN to a stupid fight. MY FRIEND IS DEAD. for what?? nothing, being in the wrong place at the wrong time? AND that STUPID kid walks with a tiny bit of time? I GOT A LIFE SENTENCE THAT DAY. and multiple stupid kids walk away with murder. I WANT MY FRIEND BACK, SCREW DALLAS AND EVERYONE THAT WAS INVOLVED WITH KILLING AN INNOCENT MAN. and for a mother to come say he's so good, how would you feel if it was your kid? and my friend was the one who called and told us to " come get him?" and you NEVER saw your child again. think about idiot. if people choose to act like dogs, we shall treat them like dogs. regardless of age, even at 15, you know what is right and wrong, going with your buddys to "fight" with a LOADED WEAPON, its wrong.

monitor 40 heater
I have a monitor 40 heater when i start up the heater the flame is blue
for @6 min. then changes to orange flame status light begins to flash and
fire goes out. desperate in need of help
Post pic.
monitor 40 heater
where can I find a complete troubleshooting manuel on a monitor 40 heater.
Google it.
Thanks Joe I did go to goggle they had everything but not for a monitor 40 heater or any monitor heater.
Try this:
5th one down is manual
Thanks Chitownken got the manual however it does not show my problem in the troubleshooting section
Did you clean the strainer and verify that there isn't crud in the fuel?
not yet will that keep the fuel from going to burner
Yes. If the strainer or the filter (if you have one at your tank) gets plugged it will cause the heater to starve for fuel, just as if the tank was empty.
cHECK THE FILTER AND IS CLEANED ALSO CLEANED THE AIR INTAKE AND EXHAUST LINES BLED THE TANK FILTER STILL DOES NOT FIRE. COULD IT STILL HAVE AIR LOCK
It's all gravity feed, isn't it? When you disconnect the fuel line at the strainer you should get fuel flow. Did you pump the fuel set lever a couple times? There has to be a flame sensor somewhere in the unit so that it can verify that the ignitor actually lit the fuel. See that there are people selling fuel pump and carburetor assemblies on ebay so that is another part that could have issues. I would try to find the flame sensor first. If it is the type that has a mica window that faces thee flame, make sure that window isn't sooted up.
I noticed when i pulled the strainer out the small tip was in first then i saw a pict of one on side of heater the tip was toward the metal plate is that the correct way
Don't know the answer to that one.
Good morning Chitownken its march 13 and got great news my heater has been working for @ an hour now. After going through everything I decided to do one more thing and that was to remove the new filter outside just to see if i would get fuel. it fired up imediately. The filter must have been wrong or something. Off to buy another filter. Thanks again for all your advice and help. Have a blessed day

MUGSHOT: Dummy Of The Day - August 27, 2014
Photo: Omaha Police Department
Meet Jesean Morris, who was wanted in Omaha for violating parole on assault charges. He was caught because he posted a video of himself on Facebook completing the Ice Bucket Challenge. Apparently, a tipster saw it, recognized the house where the video was made and knew Morris was a wanted man so he called the police.
Lesson of the day? If you are wanted for a crime, don't post videos on Facebook.

All I can say is... finally. I still remember when it turned Retrograde - a very hard time of my Life began. Pluto rules my 5th House, so it felt like having all my vital forces sucked into a black hole. I was confronted again with past issues I thought I had healed from (transit happens in my 6th, I'm talking [mental] health) and, on the other hand, the transformation started to happen faster and on a deeper level. It's not going to be easy with Direct either because it means the square with my Sun and Mercury will get tighter, but it's still something I can handle. Sort of.

Elsa - one of the things I really appreciate about your videos is I don't have to turn my sound up to hear them! I have to do that with most online videos.
On topic - I'm glad for this. Pluto has been back and forth over my Mercury (13 degrees). It hasn't been too bad, I have Pluto in aspect to Mercury natally. However, lately, I've been feeling like the last Merc Rx hasn't stopped for me. I'm ready for all these Mercury snarls to unsnarl.
@chrispito - My sister has her Moon at 10 Cap. It's been hard watching her struggle through this. I can't even tell her what's going on! She only wants to hear me talk about astrology when it's good, not when it's "doom and gloom." *BIGHUGS* for you.

Thanks CW
Luckily (!) I had Pluto transit my late degree Sagittarius ASC not so long ago--that precipitated most of the massive change in my life. This Pluto/Moon transit as a result has largely been about emotionally assimilating those changes, and transforming my inner life. It's been largely positive, however exhausting.

I love the caper comparison for Pluto in the video!
I wonder if the next step in my career will coincide with Pluto turning direct (it's hovering between my 10th and 11th houses). And yes, Pluto and Uranus are definitely transforming my Mars (8 degrees Aries) and my Neptune (7 degrees Capricorn). I like the way my Mars energies are expressing themselves lately, I'm undergoing a positive transformation for sure.

For 2
250ml milk
A scraping of lemon zest (optional)
2 thick slices bread (Hackney Wild or raisin and walnut would work best for this)
20g butter
50g raisins or any dried fruit (chopped if larger than raisins)
1 egg, beaten
35g sugar
Butter 2 large slices of bread. Halve them. Grease a small ovenproof dish (about 2 pints capacity). Place the bread in the dish, sprinkling each slice with sugar, dried fruit and lemon zest. Place in layers or a single layer, depending on the dish. Mix egg and milk and gently pour over, pressing the bread lightly into the milk.
Leave to soak at least 5 minutes. Dust with a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg if you like.
Bake at 180ºC for about 30min or until the custard is lightly set and the top is golden.
Go back to the bread making course

Product Description:
"Grapes are sourced from Old Vines vineyards situated high on the hillsides at about 3,000 ft. above sea level. There is a range of soil types throughout the region, however most vineyards could be described as having gravely clay loams. The clay is at depth and allows for the vines to obtain moisture and be dry grown even though there is very little rainfall in the region (around 350ml per year). The climate is continental and very dry. During the growing season there are high daytime temperatures moderated by cool nights due to the high altitude. Winters are cold, and scant rainfall throughout the year." -Winery

- Most buyers will not understand/appreciate the elevated price for the quality steel
- You can produce two/three/four times the amount of "normal" grade steel for the cost of one unit of top tier grade steel. Why make a structure last 200 years when made of expensive steel...then we would being paying a much higher cost for things upfront and loose work in the long run when nothing needs repaired/replaced.
- I would be out of a job....FU
That said, there is a small demand for very high quality metals. Think the metal they put in someones hip....that needs to be good enough to last the entire span of projected use and more. They actually reuse metal parts that were once inside a person who is cremated...quality stuff made to last a long time...also why metal hips are pricey!
Nitrogen is a noble gas and not very reactive, thus can help resist a corrosion reaction in the metal...so yea, makes sense to me that they'd use it.

Mika Defends Carter's Cheney-Bashing: 'A Responsibility to Say Something'
Surprise! Mika Brzezinski, far from criticizing Jimmy Carter's excoriation of the Bush adminstration, applauds it . . .
View video here.
In a free-swinging democracy such as ours, rare are the restraints on political speech by our elected representatives. One exception are rules of decorum, such as those governing the House of Representatives that prohibit members from speaking in negative personal terms about their colleagues and other officials.
There is a similar, unwritten rule by which former presidents do not criticize their successors. And while the occasional lapse has occurred over the history of the republic, no president has so thoroughly trashed the tradition as Jimmy Carter, who has made stinging criticism of the Bush administration a virtual art form. Earlier this year, for example, Carter publicly labelled the Bush administration "the worst in history."
The Kvetcher-in-Chief is back at it again.
The latest tirade from the man who brought us the "Desert One" disaster is directed at Vice-President Cheney, whom he called a "disaster," and "a militant who avoided any service of his own in the military."
Surely no MSM newsreader would defend Carter's breach of comity, would she? As it turns out, at least one would. There was Mika Brzezinski on today's "Morning Joe," staunchly standing up for both the form and substance of the remarks by the former president for whom her father Zbigniew served as National Security Advisor.
Carter will be a guest on "Morning Joe" tomorrow.
WILLIE GEIST: He was talking to the BBC yesterday, and we only hope he opens up like this for us tomorrow. He called Dick Cheney, quote, "a disaster" and "a militant who avoided military service himself" but who has no problem inflicting our military on the world. He also said, in a negative way, that Cheney was overly persuasive on Bush, and that he has often prevailed in foreign policy decisions.
MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Well, I've heard echoes of that before, for sure, so he's just saying what a lot of people are thinking.
JOE SCARBOROUGH: A lot of people around your household, Mika, but the rest of us . . .
BRZEZINSKI: Hey, hey, hey: that's not necessarily true. Don't paint my household.
"Not necessarily" true? It either is or it isn't. Is Mika professing ignorance of what's being said in her own home? But let's give Bubbles the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps in speaking of what "a lot of people are thinking" in terms of blasting the Bush administration, she had the MSNBC newsroom in mind. But back to the exchange.
SCARBOROUGH: What do you think of the rule that former presidents don't say bad things about current presidents? Do you think that's a good idea?
BRZEZINSKI: No I don't. I think people should speak their minds and act on their convictions. If something is wrong in your mind, you speak it.
And a bit later.
BRZEZINSKI: I just think if you, in your gut, think that our country is fundamentally going in the wrong direction, and you're a former president, perhaps you have a responsibility to say something.
SCARBOROUGH: You know what, perhaps there are other ways you can do it.
BRZEZINSKI: Perhaps.
Scarborough later predicted that the same people who today applaud Carter's candor will condemn Pres. Bush for criticizing a future President Hillary Clinton. Let's hope Mika never has the chance to prove Joe right.
Bonus Coverage -- Mika Gushes Over New Carter Book: Earlier [see beginning of video], Mika sung the praises of Carter's latest thumb-sucker, "Beyond the White House: Waging Peace, Fighting Disease and Building Hope." Even the New York Times labelled it "something of a valentine to himself; his wife, Rosalynn; and his colleagues at the Carter Center in Atlanta." But Mika gushed that it was "a great book" that "makes you realize what one can do with one's life."

Food banks and pantries in Utah and nationwide say higher prices for peanut butter are making it harder for them to provide one of their most-requested items and a favorite among children this holiday season.
Costs have gone up 30 percent or more because poor weather conditions this summer in states such as Texas and Georgia hurt this year's peanut crop and because some farmers switched to more profitable crops, such as corn and cotton.
The increase in peanut butter prices and the cost of food overall has been a blow to family budgets, and hunger-relief groups that say they're serving more clients even as the poor economy has made it harder to get donations.
Salt Lake City's Utah Food Bank has on hand about 10,000 pounds of peanut butter, which will be distributed to 154 pantries throughout the state. But when that inventory runs low within the next 60 to 90 days, "we expect we'll have trouble replenishing our supplies" because of the costs, said the agency's chief marketing officer, Ginette Bott.
Bott doesn't anticipate any peanut butter shortages through the holidays, "because people remember to donate during that time," she said.
Typically, donations dwindle in January and February, however, "and we expect that our inventory of peanut butter will go down. We're also expecting to pay more" when it's time for us to buy.
Linda Trujillo, manager of the Utah Food Bank Southern Branch in St. George, said there's always a need for high-protein items, "and peanut butter is chief among them. [It's] popular with children, and it's also important for people who have no means to cook."
Terry Shannon, president of the Phoenix-based St. Mary's Food Bank Alliance, one of the country's largest food banks, said it increased the amount of food it distributes annually by about 75 percent over the past three years, to 74 million pounds. Its cash donations have kept pace with the need so far, but Shannon said he worries the alliance won't raise enough money during the holiday season to keep including peanut butter in each of the 25,000 emergency food boxes it distributes each month.
"That's probably the item we buy most frequently ... because we don't have enough of it donated" with prices so high, Shannon said.
Peanut butter also is popular at such agencies because it has a long shelf life, meets most religious restrictions on food and doesn't require special storage or cooking. Lately, it's sometimes absent from shelves at places such as the Broad Street Food Pantry near downtown Columbus, Ohio, which started limiting the largest families to two jars instead of three if it's available.
With a jar of peanut butter running about $3 or $4 at grocery stores, food banks say they expect to receive fewer donations, buy less, pay more for what they do buy and consider offering protein alternatives such as canned tuna or chicken, which might be comparatively good deals.
Food banks get cheaper prices by buying in bulk, but the higher cost is still noticeable. The Cleveland Foodbank in Northeast Ohio bought a truckload of peanut butter in June for $12.95 per dozen 18-ounce jars, but that rose to $18.31 by October. If peanut butter becomes nearly as expensive as some meats, the latter might provide more nutrition at nearly the same cost, food bank president and CEO Anne Goodman said.
The Houston Food Bank hopes to keep up its peanut butter distribution by working with a cannery run by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The cannery provides the machinery, and the food bank provides the volunteers and pays for the peanuts a cost that could double to $36,000 for each tractor-trailer load that produces about 19,000 extra-large jars of peanut butter, president Brian Greene said.

The debt-burdened French group has drafted Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs to place its 250.6m Sky shares, a stake of around 13%. Deutsche said it planned to deliver the shares during the week of 17 June, depending in the success of the placing. Goldman said the pricing for the sell-off would be revealed later.
BSkyB shares fell more than 4% in opening trade, but narrowed the loss to trade lower 1.76% lower at 670p.
Vivendi was prohibited from selling the stake until late October. But that lock-in is rendered invalid if Vivendi debt is downgraded to junk status. Both Moody's and Standard & Poor's rate its short-term debt at the lowest investment grade.Reuse content

MOSUL, Iraq — 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division held two separate Black History Month observance luncheons Feb 18 and 19 at Forward Operating Base Marez and FOB Diamondback dining facilities in Mosul, Iraq.
The program, overseen by Sgt. 1st Class Cadonna Odom, Equal Opportunity Adviser, 3rd BCT, 1st Cav. Div., and hosted 215th Brigade Support Battalion, 3rd BCT, 1st Cav. Div., consisted of speech and poem presentations as well as tributes in song and an inspiring reflection by guest speaker Command Sgt. Maj. Derrick Taylor, Special Troops Battalion, 3rd BCT, 1st Cav. Div.
"This observance is special because it is the first observance for 3rd Brigade in Iraq. Beyond being Department of the Army mandated, ethnic observances make everyone feel included and in this way every Soldier understands that they are part of the team. It also reinforces that the command cares," said Odom. Odom added that Soldiers should be given the same opportunity to participate in or attend ethnic observances as they would enjoy back at Fort Hood or their home stations.
Pfc. Marsha Wright, 215th BSB, 3rd 3rd BCT, 1st Cav. Div., who entertained attendees with a song during the celebration said this black history event was definitely special.
"There is more hope – I never thought I would see a black president, let alone my Mama see a black president. I still can't believe it. This Black History Month to me means hope. We've come a long way, and we still have a way to go, but the future is looking mighty bright – because of hope," said Wright.
Cpt. Mariwin Basco, Headquarters and Headquarters Troop, 3rd BCT, 1st Cav. Div., also praised the event suggesting that this event offers everyone an opportunity to reflect on who they are and where they come from.
"A lot of the new generation forgets where they've come from. Events like this make you appreciative of who you are as a person no matter what your background", said Basco.
Sgt. 1st Class Sonja Kennedy, HHT, 3rd BCT, 1st Cav. Div., echoed the importance of the event and said Black History Month has always been an important time to her. "I'm from the north and we celebrate black history more than in the south. We've done so much that one month just doesn't justify what we've done in Black American history," said Kennedy.
Wisdom abounded in the "sermonesque" speeches and remarks throughout the event but Chaplain Rickey Brunson, 215th BSB, 3rd BCT, 1st Cav. Div., who offered an invocation and benediction during the black history celebration, best summed up the significance of ethnic/cultural observances. "Our most powerful weapon is not the M4 [rifle] – it is our diversity and our ability to accept one another's differences, said Brunson.
While this nearly standing room only black history event was organized and sponsored by 215th BSB, the celebration of Black History Month commenced with a big screen showing of the theatrical film "Glory," on Feb 6. Each Friday night in February a movie featuring a black cast is shown at the Morale Recreation and Welfare Center on FOB Marez in honor of Black History Month.
"We will be here for just a year, so we only have one chance to make our ethnic observances special – with two luncheons and weekly movie nights, I think we accomplished our goal for Black History Month," said Odom.

text: XI'AN, China, Dec. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- China Recycling Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: CREG or "the Company"), a leading industrial waste-to-energy solution provider in China, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Xi'an TCH Energy Technology Co., Ltd. ("Xi'an TCH"), has obtained an energy saving and emission reduction loan with Industrial Bank Co., Ltd., Xi'an Branch (the "Lender"), whereby the Lender agrees to loan RMB 130,000,000 (approximately USD $20,312,500) to Xi'an TCH for a term of 48 months (16 quarters) from the first take-down of the loan. The first 9 months (3 quarters) of the loan will be a grace period where repayment is not requirement. Xi'an TCH will start to make repayment on the 28th day of the last month of each quarter after the grace period and each payment will include principal in no less than RMB 10,000,000 (approximately USD $1,562,500). The loan agreement has a floating interest rate that resets each quarter at 115% of the national base interest rate for the same term and same level loan per annum. The present national base interest rate -- People's Bank of China (PBOC) rate is 7.05% and 115% of that rate will be 8.1075% per annum. These funds will be deployed by CREG to further the construction of a 23 MW waste-to-energy system for its customer Shanxi Datong Coal Group. With the new special energy saving and emission reduction loan to fund the development of its energy saving projects at a much lower interest rate, the Company will then initiate the repayment of RMB 75,000,000 in convertible notes and trust loans held by China Cinda Asset Management Co. Ltd and its affiliates ("Cinda"). The original financing of RMB 100,000,000 was completed under a Note Purchase Agreement and a Trust Loan Agreement as a part of the strategic cooperation agreement signed on August 18, 2010. The interest rate on the convertible notes and trust loan under August 2010 agreements was 18% per annum unless the Cinda chooses to convert such notes and loans to common stock shares of the Company. Following the repayment, Cinda will still hold RMB 25,000,000 convertible note in CREG and a seat on the Company's Board of Directors. Cinda will continue their strategic partnership with the Company in regards to current and future project development and financing of these projects. Mr. Guohua Ku, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CREG, commented, "Over the past several quarters, we have been ardently focused on securing lower borrowing rates from both domestic and international financiers. CREG is a highly capital intensive business and therefore, obtaining attractive interest rates on our loans has been of the utmost importance to our management team. As a result, we are very pleased to be in a position to pay-down a significant portion of our Cinda loan and utilize discounted interest rates offered by the Industrial Bank, Co., Ltd. to energy-saving solutions providers such as CREG. Cinda still remains a strategic partner to our company and will continue to work with us on furthering our project development and operations moving forward."

RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Dominion Virginia Power welcomed the news today that the U.S. Department of Energy had selected a company-led team to begin award negotiations for initial engineering, design and permitting for an offshore wind turbine demonstration facility off the coast of Virginia. In its DOE application, Dominion proposed designing, developing, and demonstrating a grid-connected, 12-megawatt offshore wind facility consisting of two Alstom 6-megawatt turbines mounted on innovative foundations. Dominion's primary location for the demonstration project is in federal waters about 22 miles off the coast of Virginia Beach, although the ultimate site will depend on detailed investigations. Twelve megawatts would provide enough electricity for 3,000 homes at peak demand. "Winds off the coast of Virginia hold great potential for electricity generation," said Mary C. Doswell, senior vice president-Alternative Energy Solutions. "The challenge will be to harness this energy and bring it to our customers at reasonable cost. To achieve that will take a lot of creative engineering to find innovative ways to lower costs, which is the goal of the DOE program. We have the right team in place to begin this work with the goal of being chosen ultimately to build the demonstration facility." Others on the Dominion team are:

In September 2012, the Palestinian Department of Antiquities and Cultural Heritage (DACH) conducted four weeks of excavations at the site of Tell al-Ḥassan, located circa 500 m north of Jericho's city center, adjacent the Arab Bank.
Before the recent excavations by the Department of Antiquities, Tell al-Ḥassan was the subject of archaeological investigation in 1934, after a farmer discovered by chance a mosaic pavement in the course of digging a drainage canal. This led to excavations by Dimitri Baramki, under the aegis of the Mandatory Department of Antiquities. In an article published in 1936, Baramki discusses two strata of occupation, Byzantine and early Islamic. A basilica that is 25 m long by 20 m wide, with a central nave and two lateral aisles highlights the Byzantine period.
The THP'12 season was carried out just south of the basilica discovered by Baramki. Overall, the project continues the Department of Antiquity's commitment to the systematic exploration of Byzantine and early Islamic Jericho, a period that remains enigmatic especially because of a paucity of reliable historical sources.
At the foot of Jebal Qaruntal (Mt. of Temptation) and west of Tell al-Sultan lies a large sugar mill complex. Dr. Hamdan Taha of the Department of Antiquities and Cultural Heritage began to clear and excavate the installations of this important medieval industry in 2000. The artifacts recovered during this research closely correspond with the historical documentation of sugar procession in Jericho during the Ayyubid and Mamluk periods (ca. 1100 - 1300). This activity was contemporary with the final occupation, period 4, of the palace at Khirbet al-Mafjar.
See Taha, H. Some aspects of Sugar Production, Jericho, Jordan valley, published in A Timeless vale: Archaeological and related Essays on the Jordan Valley in honour of Gerrit van der Kooij on the Occasion of this Sixty-fifth Birthday. Leiden, Leiden University, 2009.
A second project for Khirbet al-Mafjar, entitled "Archaeological Landscape Survey of Khirbat al-Mafjar region, Jericho," is directed by Dr. Mahmoud Hawari, Assistant Professor at Birzeit University, in cooperation with the University College London (UCL). A preliminary report may be found in " Archaeological landscape survey at Khirbet al-Mafjar -- 2009 and 2010," Bulletin of the Council for British Research in the Levant 5.1 (2010), 21-32.

Among the original surveys was that of J.F. Bliss, the same year that he described Khirbet al-Mafjar. An Italian mission connected with the University of Rome "La Sapienza" has conducted research with the Department of Antiquities of Palestine from 1997 until 2008. This research has been especially concerned with the early Bronze Age II occupation (3000-2700 BC). In Area H, a small house of the Byzantine period (mid-6th c) was uncovered; this seem to be the latest occupation on the ancient mound.
In more recent years research has been augmented with restorations and site enhancement for tourist interpretation and preservation. Site management and sustainable development have been the focus of conferences under the leadership of Dr. Lorenz Nigro and Dr. Hamdan Taha.
