Effects of ruminally degradable N in diets containing wet corn distiller's grains and steam-flaked corn on feedlot cattle performance and carcass characteristics [abstract]. 2009 Plains Nutrition Council Spring Conference, April 9-10, 2009, San Antonio, Texas. Texas AgriLife Research & Extension Pub. No. AREC 09-18, p. 101. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Assessment of degradable nitrogen (N) needs in diets containing wet corn distiller's grains with solubles (WCDGS) is needed to aid the cattle feeding industry in managing feed costs and potential environmental issues. Yearling steers (n = 525; initial weight = 822 +/- 28 lb) were housed in 56 pens (9 to 10 steers/pen) and received treatments in a 2 x 3 + 1 factorial. Factors included WCDGS (15 or 30% of dry matter (DM)) and non-protein N (NPN; 0, 1.5, or 3.0% of DM) from urea. The control diet without WCDGS contained 3.0% NPN (1.06% urea) and cottonseed meal. Steers were fed twice daily for 129 d and WCDGS was obtained three times/week from a local plant. Final shrunk BW was less (P < 0.02) for 30% WCDGS than for the control or 15% WCDGS. Overall dry matter intake (DMI) was not different (P > 0.31) between the control diet and 15 or 30% WCDGS, but overall DMI increased linearly (P = 0.04) as NPN increased. Overall, ADG and gain efficiency were affected by both WCDGS and NPN (interaction, P < 0.12). Overall ADG for steers fed 15% WCDGS was greater for 1.5 and 3.0% NPN than for 0% NPN (P < 0.07, quadratic); however, ADG was not influenced by NPN for 30% WCDGS. Overall ADG was not different between the control and 15% WCDGS, but ADG was lower (P < 0.02) for 30% than for 15% WCDGS. Overall gain efficiency among steers fed 15% WCDGS was greatest for 1.5% NPN and least for those fed 0% (P < 0.07, quadratic), whereas gain efficiency decreased linearly (P < 0.09) as NPN increased in 30% WCDGS diets. No interactions between WCDGS and NPN were evident for carcass traits. Dressing percent was greater (P < 0.01) for the control diet than for 15% or 30% WCDGS (65.1, 64.2, and 63.9% for control, 15% WCDGS, and 30% WCDGS, respectively). Hot carcass weight was not different between the control and 15% WCDGS (P = 0.44), whereas carcass weight was less for 30% WCDGS than for 15% WCDGS (P < 0.01). Other carcass measurements were not different among treatments. Data suggest that optimum performance occurs between 1.5 and 3.0% NPN when diets contain 15% WCDGS, and with 1.5% NPN or less when diets contain 30% WCDGS.

Milwaukee • The Jazz practiced this morning in Cleveland while yours truly sits in a Milwaukee airport watching snow accumulate. Just had a quick chat with Tyrone Corbin on a conference call in the wake of his team's 109-108 loss to the Bucks.
Lots of big storylines for the Jazz moving forward: the benching of Derrick Favors, the potential return of Mo Williams, Al Jefferson's health, the starting lineup in general... I touched on most of them on DJ & PK on 1280 The Zone this morning, so listen for verbal thoughts on all of those.
A few notes before boarding, though, from the conversation with Corbin.
• The story of the day was Corbin benching Derrick Favors in, uh, favor of Enes Kanter for the final 17 minutes against the Bucks. Corbin defended the decision, sort of. "We liked the way it was going on the floor," he said. "I made the decision." This is a pretty typical response from Corbin, who often clams up when he is probed for further insight on decisions he makes. Reporters generally are not trying to challenge Corbin, but instead seek clarity on his thought process.
• Al Jefferson stretched and took shots at practice this morning, but is still listed as doubtful for tomorrow against the Cavs.
• Mo Williams "didn't have any discomfort" in his surgically repaired thumb, but is still listed as out two months after surgery. However, Corbin said the point guard playing is "a possibility if he don't have any soreness in it overnight."
• Randy Foye, Marvin Williams and Earl Watson were scoreless last night. "It's a concern," Corbin said.
• Corbin said, "We have to get a better flow with that first group," and that changes to the starting lineup are possible. What changes? It's a secret.
• All the other good junk is on Twitter. Follow me at @tribjazz.

I had a new tattoo done in 2011 which I instantly regretted - it was a huge forget me not on my stomach in bright blue with some white/yellow and white in it. I also had a very old tattoo that I had done in 1997 which is all dark blue. I'd already had laser treatment x 2 sessions on the one on my back. Also, I'd had a small butterfly which had had x2 laser treatments about 4 years ago and foolishly I had the forget me not tattooed over the top !! I am having treatment at MediSpa in Esher Surrey. I started in September about 3 weeks post C Section as I am desperate to have them gone before the Summer starts. The one on my stomach has really faded and after each treatment is blisters up a lot. It is so itchy and sore/tender but that is because we are using a high setting. It literally feels like my skin is burnt off. I apply Emla Cream (can't remember if that's correct spelling!) which numbs the area. I apply this in a thick layer before treatment (about 30 mins) and It seriously helps. The stomach is not so painful but at the bottom of my back on spine it is beyond tolerable. I have to stuff a pillow in my mouth - talk about Chinese torture ! Fortunately it is all over very quickly and we use the cooling air (a must!) which takes the edge off it (marginally). I wish I had some photos to show you after 1st/2nd/3rd treatment but unfortunately I only just thought of taking some! In actual fact, I wish I'd had all my treatments on the highest setting as it's only since the highest setting has been used I've had the blisters. In my opinion the more you blister the better the results. I don't blister at all on my back and whilst it is fading it is very visible and considering I've had 4 treatments. I'm going to speak to my therapist at my next appointment about agreeing a set price now for subsequent treatments as this is costing me a fortune! I actually wonder if I'd stuck to the cheaper laser method on my back whether it would have been as effective. I do recommend Picosure for new tattoos as I certainly have seen results on my stomach but I'm concerned it'll take a lot longer and cost a lot more than I was originally led to believe (we're talking 3 treatments and all gone!) I'm also worried about being left with scars. take a look at these pics and see what you think !!!
Taking a Lot More Sessions Than I'd Anticipated or Budgeted For! - Esher, GB
1 Week After Treatment 5
These photos were taken just over a week after my fifth Picosure Treatment. I wish I had before photos but I don't, however you can see some further fading, and I know as the weeks go by there will be even more fading. They both look quite raised and red/scabby but I'll send some further updates in 4 weeks time. I'm still regretting starting this whole process as I honestly can't imagine the tattoos ever completely gone (especially the one on my back!) The one on my back doesn't bother me so much so I could just stop the treatments and focus on the revolting flower on my stomach !! I too have Edita at Trueskin in Esher who is lovely - she is very pleased with the progress and always really encouraging. I was so disappointed with the fading that they agreed to give me my last treatment for free which was really kind of them. It's taking a lot longer than I ever imagined and I'm off to France next week but will be in a swim suit as cannot expose them to the sun. Infact I'm wondering if I'll ever be able to wear a bikini again! I'll save up for the next treatments which I thinking I'll do after the Summer months but will see how much fading I get this time around.
I can honestly say picosure is the most painful experience of my life!!! I use Elma cream first to try and numb the area and also have the cooling air. The one on my back is far more painful than the one on my stomach (nerve endings/bone etc). I have to shove a cotton wool pad in my mouth to bite on it's that bad and I've got a very high pain threshold. Having them put on was painfree in comparison !! That said it is over so quickly you just learn to tolerate it. I'm sure different parts of bodies dictate how painful it will be. Think of someone putting a cigarette onto your skin... !!! I read all these articles saying picosure is pain free and I'm thinking - really, have the people who wrote these actually had it!??? clearly not !
4 weeks Post 6th Picosure Treatment - really losing the will to carry on as it's just not shifting !
Esher Medispa gave me a free treatment for treatment number 6 - I feel so disheartened as STILL very visible. I am yet to actually see anyone on here post a before and after where their tattoo has completely gone using Picosure. I am sure all those images of before and after used to market Picosure are fakes. I really hope I'm proven wrong but I'm getting down about the fact I've now got two really ugly ink splodges on my tummy and lower back. I've had to buy a swimsuit to see me through the Summer, having worked so hard to get back in shape after my second son I will stay covered up. I am going to continue as what I'm left with now is worse than the original tattoos... Has anyone got a real success story - before and after where you can see genuine photos of a tattoo that has totally gone from Picosure? Cannot show pictures from my back as noone available to take them at the moment but will post soon. The front is making more progress than my back tattoo but even so neither are what I expected at this stage....
After 6 Treatments this is what I'm left with....
The pictures sum it up! I'm not happy. The fading is there but look at the hideous marks I'm left with. I have lost all faith in this method of tattoo removal. I was told when I went for the initial consultation that some tattoos lift after just 3 treatments, but more likely 5 treatments would do it. I've just had my 7th treatment and will eagerly await the results but I don't hold out much hope. I have left around 6-8 weeks between treatments and see comments about the continued fading after this time. I am determined to get rid of these things but when I asked the technician at Trueskin to show me some before and after photos of someone who had actually successfully removed their entire tattoo, I was told they couldn't show me due to data protection! I don't believe anyone has properly lifted a tattoo off their skin from Picosure. I really hope to prove myself wrong! I've heard great things about Wayne in Soho - so I'll continue the treatment process through him and see if he can work his magic on getting rid of these hideous things!!!!!
Very informative and friendly girl who treats me. I have same person each visit which helps.

"From their website: LouisvilleMetro Animal Services' Animal Care Center receives an Metro Animal Servicesaverage of over 14,000 animals annually. Thousands are brought to our shelter as a result of service requests from the community and many are surrendered by their owners. Metro Animal Services employs 17 Animal Control Officers who investigate over 24,000 complaints in an average year that range from bite cases to severe inhumane treatment. They drive over 225,000 miles a year covering Louisville Metro's 386 sq. miles. Officers are on duty from 7 am to 11 pm, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, including holidays. Besides enforcing the Louisville Metro Animal Care and Control Ordinance, the center has a 9-person animal care staff that includes a veterinarian, two veterinary technicians, and two adoption coordinators. The animal care staff spends countless hours caring for the animals at our facility. Many of these animals are placed for adoption through our adoption program or transferred to placement organizations. Adoptable animals can be viewed on this website (see Meet Adoptable Animals) or at the Animal Care Center. Adoption hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 am - 5 pm, Tuesday and Thursday 10 am - 6 pm, and Wednesday and Friday 10 am - 7 pm. Regular office hours are Monday through Saturday from 9 am - 5 pm. The Animal Care Center is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to care for and accept animals."
Thank you, keep it up!
MAS is so much more than I origianlly thought, theywere great with trying to help me find my last dog afer he ran off. Later in January we adopted Zella from MAS, known then as 'Tulip' and they try to help every animal they can, despite limited recources.
Thanks for all you do!
I adopted "Cooper" known at MAS as "Reece" this past December and just wanted to thank all of you for your help in bring us together. He was lucky to find his way into your hands. If it hadn't been for the dedication and hard work you all do he would never have found his way into my home and heart. I know an overwhelming amount of animals pass through your doors and I just wanted you to know there are many of us who appreciate what you do, especially Cooper & Me !!
Doing as good as they can with what little they have
It breaks my heart when ever I have gone to the Metro sight. The employees are underpaid and they are all understaffed, but I really feel like they are doing the best they can with what little the city gives them.

To Your Health (Sort Of) At Grand Hyatt New York
By Terry Trucco
Cocktails as health drinks? In our dreams.
Still, every day, it seems, another hotel bar announces an ingredients purge. Out with processed juices, prefab mixes and high fructose corn syrups. In with fresh squeezed juice, mint leaves and sliced fruit.
Bars at boutique hotels, like the Royalton's revamped Forty-Four, have led the all-natural, fresh-everything, organic-when-possible charge.
But when New York Central, Grand Hyatt New York's glass-enclosed restaurant, opens today following a suitably grand-scale renovation, you won't find items like Rose's Lime Juice and Tropicana Orange Juice in the bartending fridge.
"It's all about taste," says bartender Kevin Draper, who plans to spend a chunk of his shift squeezing juices. "Drinks taste clean and crisp when everything's fresh."
To toast the bar's sleek, ice blue surroundings, ten new cocktails headline the drinks menu. All sport New York themes: Mr. Big is a revamped cosmo made with guava juice instead of cranberry while Madison Square is a riff on a Margarita (with fresh lime juice). Classic
cocktails score classic ingredients, like the Mad Men-era martini made from Plymouth Gin, Dolin Vermouth and Rhubarb Bitters.
Sounds promising if confusing. A Manhattan made with Makers Mark and Antica Sweet Vermouth is . . . an Elliott Ness? Isn't Manhattan in New York?
Whatever. There's always health. Draper slips a slice of starfruit on the rim of a Mr. Big. "Your vitamin C," he says with a wink.
2 Comments »
I commute into NYC every so often via Metro North, and sometimes I sip a cosmo at Cipriani's in Grand Central while waiting for my train home. Thank you for this suggestion. I look forward to an organic Mr. Big (with starfruit) next door at the Hyatt for a change.

Yes, to your health indeed.

You are incapable of normal logical discussion. You can not explain your faith in a logical way to a skeptic, you can not understand that it is completely normal and logical for others to have different beleifs (religious or otherwise) and quite frankly you are just proving my point with each and every response you give this thread.
As a Christian I can tell you that it is logical to others that believe in God but to people like yourself that don't, it would be illogical which is expected. It is logical for you to think of it as illogical, if that makes sence?
Non-believers that read the bible do get confused by its contents because it is written for people that believe in God. That is why it is called the Living Word of God because it comes to life for believers, it becomes relevent in our lives.
To non-believers it is just foolishness, which you have already said, it makes no sence to you.
God reveals His word and what it means to people who accept His word as truth.
I can and do have normal and logical discussions with people that do not have a belief in anything or even people that have different faiths. I guess I tend to look at people with different beliefs as not being normal. I see the belief in Jesus and Christianity as normal and to be the only truth that can be relied opon as truth that we can count on.
Scenario: I could meet you at a store, swap meet, gun show etc. and strike up a conversation and leave Jesus out of it and find common ground between us.
So the next time you meet a total stranger, it could be me just waiting for an opportunity to introduce you to Jesus
Or not,
just waiting for God to open that door of opportunity to share what He would have to say to you.

It's Deja Vu all over again, as reports surfaced recently about an Apple prototype iPhone 5 lost in a tequila bar. This happened in July, according to CNET, and the police were called in and tracked the phone via GPS. They went to a nearby residence of a young man who denied knowledge of the iPhone 5 prototype. Best guess now is the phone was sold on Craigslist for $200.
Those who thought the lost iPhone 4 last year was an ad ploy are downright convinced this is just another scam to raise awareness. But many believe this is too crude and derivative for Apple, and are blaming the tequila bar, Cava22, for the story. Yet some believe the story, because it happened in July, so the big buzz for a planned story has been lost. And those of us in Texas know the old saying: one tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor.
Reactions blame PR flacks and lazy journalists for a clumsy viral news story attempt, Apple phone engineers with a low tolerance for tequila, and the bar itself. Nobody looks good with this much mud thrown on them.

Images of Aarhus
01.10.2012 - 09.11.2012
View Europe 2012 on patsaunder's travel map.
Well, our 4-1/2 month adventure is almost over. We've had wonderful experiences, visited lots of amazing places, and enjoyed the company of many interesting folk whom we have met along the way. The opportunity for this experience is due to the generosity of our four exchange families who have opened their homes to us, which we very much appreciate. They have all told us that they have had an equally fantastic time in our home on the Sunny Coast. A fantastic way to see the world!!
It has also been wonderful to share so many special times with Aaron and Rikke, and especially to have the opportunity to be with, and get to know Olivia .... special times we will treasure.
It has been a pleasure to be here again and enjoy the culture and the friendliness of the Danish people, but the time has come for us to head home.
And it has been great fun to share it all with you on our blog. No doubt we'll be talking about it for some time yet!!
I'll say no more, but will instead leave you with some lovely images of Aarhus.
Some of the local sculptures and street art that caught my eye ...
Fun with the kids
To finish the party here's Chas's party trick ...

rigid foam insulation on interior
Hey folks. We have an 1880's balloon framed fixer upper that has never been insulated. It was an abandoned crack house when we bought it, so in need of a lot of work. We're in Pennsylvania.
Very structurally sound, but not very pretty yet. We've gutted most of it (while living in it--NOT recommended), and have removed the plaster and lath. Now it's time to insulate and drywall.
The external wall studs are a full 2 3/4 x 3 3/4 inches, and most stud bays are 13 inches wide. Diagonally run 1 inch wood sheathing boards are 1 inch thick, Some sort of asphalt shingle looking siding on that, then aluminum siding. Trying to insulate as well as possible, but also have budget restraints.
I've been thinking of R-13 or R-15 batts in the bays, then possibly using 1/2 inch--or even 1 inch--rigid foam on the inside. Taping seams, then covering with drywall. This could get me R-17 to R-20 with the 2x4 studs and also act as a thermal break for the wood. Removing siding and adding foam sheathing isn't an option
Early in the planning stage, but many questions.
1. Is it OK to use rigid foam on the inside?
2. If so, should I use a 6-mil vapor barrier or would this allow water to collect between it and the panel?
3. Is the panel "hard" enough for drywall, or would the finished wall feel "mushy"?
Thanks for all replies--Bill
no need for a vapor barrier, thats what the ridged foam will be, assuming you tape it up properly.
Hey sounds like my central Pennsylvania project!
I'm no expert in this but I have read that different rigid foams have very different abilities to block vapor.
I'd install something good in the walls, like cellulose, cotton or mineral (rock) wool. Leave the fiberglass at the store. I don't know if the foam right under the sheet rock is a good idea. My gut says it will compress and then the wall will get spongy/sloppy. My bother-in-law hangs drywall for a living and insists on gluing the drywall to the studs so it is a solid wall. Any way to fir out w/ 2x2s, either parallel to or perpendicular to the studs, then insulate between them with "something good"? More time, but likely less $$ that the foam. Besides, foams tend to give of gasses, hence they are usually used on the outside (to poison your neighbors' air). Most foams are not "vapor barriers" (unless foiled faced) but will retard vapor. That is probably all you need, though. Myself? Fir it out, and use the Airtight Drywall Approach to let the wall breathe to the inside. No foam.
Don't use fiberglass. Dense pack it. Its worth additional cost now for savings forever. Its true that you'd need to double check the foam for being a vapor barrier.
Is there a way to create a thermal break on the warm side of the studs without (a) longterm outgassing, or (b) building a second wall.
Anybody familiar with this aerogel stuff in the real world?
If you have it stripped to the bones and it was me, I would get a wet cellulose spray into the unusual open joist spaces and then cut off the excess. Apply the cellulose after you are doee with any electrical, etc. Far better than any fiberglass. You could possibly do it yourself if you rent the equipment and find the cellulose, but a contractor could do it quicker and cheaper in the end. Cover with a vapor barrier. Just make sure you have everything open an accessible and just stand back out of the way.
You can then use an untaped extruded foam on the exterior to eliminate the "thermal short circuiting" caused by the wood joists.
You may have to look into any fire stops for your type of framing, the cellulose could eliminate them since it is superior to fiberglass. - Depends on local codes.
DIY does not mean that you have to do everything yourself if there are areas where you can get something better, faster and cheaper and dedicate your time to other things that are better suited to the project.
OP said they did not want to disturb the exterior. Unless you REALLY trust that exterior is shedding water properly, I would not use cellulose in the wall cavities. If there is doubt on this score, I'd rather have the cavities full of closed cell foam, or roxul, or fiberglass, in that order of preference, to try to prevent wetting the cavitiy and helping it dry. Cellulose does dry as well, I hear. If upfront price is really important fiberglass may be the winner. But care is needed to go a really good job on installation, without leaving any gaps or creating any compression.
I have seen enough of fiberglass and moisture after over 1000 damage claims from Katrina. Fiberglass technically does not absorb moisture, but it holds it and never dries out unless it is removed and physically disturbed in the presence of a heat source (or disposed of in a land fill). I saw many homes with 6"-12" of water flooding and no roof damage that had the sheetrock (previously "drywall") ceilings falling in because of the moisture weight. Obviously, all of the walls had to to stripped and removed and the entire interior re-done all because of a few inches of water a few days of heat. It hurts to see the results due to the preformance of the highly promoted products.
Since fiberglass is not as fireproof (melts first) and has less insulating value, I have to recognize that I made a few mistakes of my own projects in the past. The total concept of batts and fitting into joist spaces where there is always air leakage as evidenced by the dark areas seems to be pretty odd.
If the exterior does not want to be disturbed, rigid can be used as an extra interior barrier (and eliminator of the stud "thermally short circuiting") and then be covered with an interior "vapor barrier". I use the quotes because a vapor barrier is not absolute but is only a specific number decided upon after many months of argument. When it comes to poly, for a given type of plastic, it depends on the thickness, but of course the definers never contemplated the cuts and nailing.screwing. Poly vapor barriers are commonly destroyed by slitting.
I suspect this particular project may not be suitably open and accessible enough to a sub-contractor application, other DIY options are always available.
[Edit: Oops, originally I neglected to add the "not", where it is now bold above.]
Dick, your experience of fiberglass in katrina's aftermath is interesting, but you neglected to compare it to similar installations of cellulose in the same environment. Also, unless I'm missing something, the OP is in central PA, which has little history with katrina type events so I'm not sure how relevant those anecdotes are.
My question is: if you fill side by side cavities with fiberglass and cellulose in central PA, and then add equal amounts of water, which will dry faster and with less damage overall? I don't know the answer from any personal experience, but I've always heard that properly installed fiberglass dries faster than properly installed cellulose under otherwise identical conditions. Does anybody know of tests? Gary, you listening?
PS yes, I agree that just askign this question instead of fixing the exterior weather barrier is less than ideal, but hey.... it's an imperfect world
Itin: I don't think choosing insulation based on possible massive water intrusion is exactly the best strategy. My thoughts are (no tests done, no experience seeing disasters) that if you get massive water intrusion with any insulation you are in deep shinkie. Maybe closed cell foam would survive the best, but you'd still have to strip the walls and wait for a long time for the wood to dry, IMO. If your exterior is likely to leak, then not fixing that is not an option; sorry about that. I think the idea of wet packed cellulose is a good idea, but if I did not mention it before, you probably do not want a true vapor barrier in PA. The Airtight Drywall Approach is probably the best option. Buildingscience.com has maps of where to/where not to, but true VBs are probably not recommended for PA. BTW: What is under your alum siding is probably good old 15 pound felt paper, STILL one of the best sub-siding materials available. Good luck. j
I agree with jklingel's post, and just wanted to add that the above part is true assuming the paper was properly installed with correct attention to flashing details. As we all know, corner cutting is not just a modern day problem. Also, massive water is one thing, and a little bit on a regular basis faster than stuff dries out is another
steveel -
I omitted my other work. Before and after Katrina, I did examinations of home problems in a similar cold climate that had moisture and mold problems and could pin down the problems with a poke or two of my 4" long moisture probes and some past experience it was easy to find the sources. Most were due to the poorly installed windows (I have a Certification in window installation from a national association), so the source of the leak was easy and the fiberglass created an on-going problem that could never be corrected until the wall was stripped and the installation removed and replaced. The insulation with as little as 1% moisture had the insulating value that was reduced by 50%, which changed the location of the dew point in the wall and had future effects. Apparently, the exterior structure of the fiberglass has the great ability to hold water and repel additives.
I became disenchanted by the antics of the pink panthers in code writing meetings and the attempts to politically hide and possible problems. Somehow, they strangely came up with a buy pink attitude similar to the anti-China campaigns, when Buick supposedly sold as many cars in China as in the U.S. (third to Mercedes and BMW in a poor-quality oriented nation) - It is all smoke and mirrors and advertising. If you want batts, use mineral wool.
So the windows and flashing were the real problem. we agree there.
You saw a lot of wet fiberglass in that situation. OK no argument.
QUESTION: Did you also see cellulose filled cavities around similarly leaking windows? Were they in better or worse condition, or seem to be more or less likely to become problems?

Makes 24 (336 cals each)
Cook's tips: For brownies to be good they must not be overcooked. The secret is to take them out of the oven just before you think they are done – the middle should be soft and squidgy, not set firm.
Don't worry if there is a dip in the middle and a crack on top, this is how it should be, and you will find the mixture firms up on cooling.
* 375g plain chocolate, broken into pieces
* 250g baking margarine
* 2 tsp instant coffee
* 2 tbsp hot water
* 2 eggs
* 250g caster sugar
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* 90g self-raising flour
* 175g walnut pieces
* 250g plain chocolate chips
1. Grease a 30x23cm (12x9in) roasting tin, line the base with greaseproof paper, and grease the paper.
2. Put the chocolate and margarine in a bowl and sit the bowl on top of a small saucepan of gently simmering water. Melt the chocolate slowly, then remove the bowl from the pan and let the chocolate cool.
3. Put the coffee in another bowl, pour in the hot water, and stir to dissolve. Add the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. Gradually beat in the chocolate mixture. Fold in the flour and walnuts, then the chocolate chips.
4. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake in a preheated oven at 190°C (170°C fan, Gas 5) for about 40–45 minutes or until firm to the touch. Don't overcook – the crust should be dull and crisp, but the middle should still be gooey. Leave to cool in the tin, then cut into 24 pieces.

Look worse with curly hair?
Hey guys, I've finally learned to embrace my curls after stumbling upon this forum abotu 3 weeks ago. Its been almost two weeks since I've started using the cg method using the DevaCare trial bag, which contains - No poo, One C, set it free, light defining gel.
I don't know what to do currently, I might be doing something wrong or might need a hairstyle from a curly approved stylist.
Before (flat iron) (Not the same hair length) : http://i.imgur.com/JdBpcuE.jpg
After with gel: http://i.imgur.com/FEB6pKlh.jpg
Dry without gel: http://i.imgur.com/TSeaGAch.jpg
I vote for the curls. They are perfect!
Wow, I love your curls, they are awesome! You should definitely keep embracing them :)
I think you look better with curls. You have great bone structure and curls top you off quite nicely. A little pop and swirl to those shadows and angles. It really highlights your features.
I like curls with gel best.
I don't think there is a right or wrong, try and find what works best for you through trail and error:-)
As for the pictures, i think straight hair and curls look lovely on you. You can definitely have the best of both worlds if you so choose. Good luck with finding products that suit your needs.:-)
I agree with Always@night, I think you look good either way. Your hair is almost exactly like my youngest son's, I wish I could get him to use gel, maybe I'll show him your pics.
Love the gelled curls, maybe you are just struggling to get used to looking different in the mirror.
I have to agree either way looks good. But I like the curls best.
Your curls are amazing. No frizz, honestly perfect. JEALOUS! haha but the only thing I would recommend is to get a proper dry cut from a deva trained stylist to shape your hair how you want it to look. Maybe cut it so the sides aren't so long, because they are giving you a boxy or flat-top appearance.
Yeah they do look pretty perfect.
GORGEOUS!!! Keep them!
Omg i cant believe u tried to flat iron Noooo, curls for sure!
Looks so cute :)
Sent from my C5155 using CurlTalk App
Thanks everyone, I really appreciate your help and nice comments. :)

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., announced Tuesday that he now opposes his own plan to avoid the kind of debt ceiling fiasco that nearly led the nation to default this month.
The idea is to let the president extend the debt limit to cover appropriations already approved by Congress, while allowing lawmakers an opportunity to register their dissent. Currently, members of Congress must vote to allow the government to borrow the money needed to fund the appropriations they've already approved.
Although McConnell devised the alternative scheme, he says he and other Republicans want nothing to do with it, and it was never his intention, he says, that the plan be used in this way.
Roll Call via Political Wire:
McConnell took to the Senate floor Tuesday morning, before the Democrats held their news conference, to dispute their offering, saying it was never his intent to give the president permanent authority to use the mechanism for debt limit increases. The Kentucky Republican said he could not support a bill Democrats had pegged to his name.
"[Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y.,] wants to extend the debt ceiling permanently by going around Congress. Let me repeat that: the so-called 'Schumer-Obama Plan' is a plan to permanently hand the president a credit card without spending limits, and without lifting a finger to address the national debt," McConnell said. "I reject that idea entirely.
"I believe that increases in the debt ceiling should be accompanied by reforms," he continued. "That's just what we did in 2011, when Congress raised the debt ceiling in return for enacting $2 trillion in bipartisan spending control — the spending control the president campaigned on endlessly."

One thought on "Які таланти дівчата демонстрували суддям? «Супермодель по-українськи». Сезон 2. Випуск 1. Частина 2"
My partner and i skepticism this can be a place with this, yet… I have trouble with our current the laws of copyright, and that i believe just how our current system of administration employs lobbying is a reason behind the item. Our laws and regulations usually do not every bit as secure everybody, these people only secure typically the interests of your rich couple of. Can there be not really some way to change just how the drinks are? What percent on the population can be beat up prior to authentic alter can be forced that occur? All of our laws and regulations have been contorted and also sprained to profit a new rich few. Example: I'm a new land inspector. My children worked as a chef to execute studies for individuals intended for four decades. We certainly have usually bet really competitively at times taking a loss to acquire jobs wishing which we will make our profits by having typically the information so we would obtain the benefit potential studies and having the capacity to do them very easily by simply changing exactly what info most of us already had on record. This identical system of lawmaking that is shielding typically the RIAA is usually letting the title industry and the like that have been amassing copies of the studies to deliver these to persons accepting affidavits intended for closings using our benefit their very own benefit and also eliminating all of us through earning profits for the very own perspiration work and also function. What disturbs me almost all about it is, eventually, you will see case over a study most of us did many years in the past, which was intended for a new after closing next to our will certainly and also the courts will certainly side next to all of us for any task most of us didn't also receive money intended for. Coming from published a lot of people throughout administration asking for assist in some way merely to obtain passive web template acknowledgement or no answer back in any way. Romans had the item a great deal better 2150 yrs ago. Good most of us stay in a new democracy, yet My partner and i anxiety it's not obviously any good republic. All of us votes to set a team of Republicans or Democrats throughout administration, merely to have our laws and regulations published and also reformed to profit a new rich few, by simply lobbyists financed by simply and also representing a new rich couple of. This kind of very same administration most of us identified intended for sets a minimal main concern around the wishes on the majority, inside the perception that the rich few are far more prudent and/or far more worthy than the majority. I'm reluctant our administration has become really the Birth.

It's been a great start for the Husson mens basketball team. They are 8-0 so far.
The Eagles have had an incredible 42 straight winning seasons.
Coach Warren Caruso has been a part of the program, starting as a player, for the last 30 years.
Sometimes I'm the guy trying not to screw it up but certainly we are excited about the group we have back and feel fortunate by the talent and the young people we have had in our program over the years.
It's a different style of play this year after losing a dominating center to graduation.
Yeah we lose our post game but our biggest asset is our speed and quickness so we get out on the break which is a big part of our offence which the way we get into that is play good defense getting steams and easy rebounds and breaking and getting easy shots.
So far it's working. They're shooting 41% from the three point line. Goal number one is to win the league title again.
That is definitely our expectation is to get back and win the conference and move on from there.
Moving on would be to the NCAA tournament… Last season they were bounced in the first round.
I'd say last year we had a pretty intense preseason and it was a kind of feeling like when we did win the NAC it was definitely well deserved and our pre season this year was a lot more intense so hopefully we can repeat.
A conference title would be the 10th in 20 years, and that's a pretty good recruiting tool.
I wanted to come to a program that gave me a chance to win every year and expectations have been met in that sense.
Certainly that is a benefit you look at a male athlete they are looking for a quality basketball program in a good setting and I think we offer that Husson University is such a dynamic place and to bring a student athlete on campus along with the basketball program I think it allows us to attract student athletes from a lot of different areas and we are excited about what is happening.

As the Twins Magic Number continues to shrink the focus for Twins fans becomes the Postseason. The Twins have a variety of injury concerns that came out of this weekend. Denard Span missed the entire weekend with a sore shoulder. Joe Mauer pulled himself from the Sunday game with a knee problem. Orlando Hudson sat out a game after having a rough stretch at the plate as of lately. Jason Kubel also missed time with a hand injury. The Twins main focus over the next couple weeks should be in getting these players healthy for the postseason, a luxury that the Twins haven't had in the past few postseason runs.
There was much talk over the weekend regarding the Twins setting up their rotation for the postseason (Four-man rotation for Twins if in playoffs). Ron Gardenhire has been very cryptic when talking about the postseason in multiple interviews but most of the information that he has given points to the following. The Twins will use a four-man rotation for the playoffs. The first three spots in that rotation will be filled by Carl Pavano, Fransisco Liriano, and Brian Duensing. The final spot will be filled by either Nick Blackburn, Kevin Slowey, or Scott Baker.
Baker hasn't pitched in awhile so it will be interesting to see how strong he is when he returns on Tuesday. Slowey looked good on Saturday against Oakland. He pitched 6.2 innings only giving up 2 ER. The problem is the 3 starts prior to that the longest he lasted was five innings. At this point it looks like Blackburn is in the front-running for the 4th spot in the postseason rotation. Since he has returned from the minors he has looked very strong in a starting role. He has a quality start in all of these outings. Also he is averaging over 7 innings pitched per game with a 2.18 ERA.
The initial reaction to a Twins rotation in the playoffs would be to put the veteran, Carl Pavano, as the Game 1 starter. The rumbling from the Twins organization is the fact that they would like one of the left-handers to start Game 1 in the postseason. This would allow them to go lefty, righty, lefty, righty for the first four games of the ALDS. I still think this is a mistake. In a 5 game series winning Game 1 is the most important. The Twins should start Pavano in Game 1.
That being said if the Twins still go with their plan, which lefty gets the nod in Game 1?
My vote would be for Brian Duensing. Duensing has been in this position before. He started Game 1 of the 2009 ALDS for the Twins. Granted the Twins were in a tough spot. Less than 24 hours prior they had won an exhausting Game 163. This left them with little to turn to for the game. Duensing was a rookie and he only lasted into the 5th inning while giving up 5 ER. All that said a new Duensing has emerged in 2010. He has more confidence and this will help him in the postseason. Another huge advantage is he won't be pitching on the road in Yankee Stadium. He will be at home in front of a sold-out crowd at Target Field.
Liriano has looked shaky in a lot of pressure filled situations this year. It seems that when the pressure is on he loses confidence in his pitches. When Liriano has been match-up with big name pitchers (Justin Verlander, etc.) he has faltered. In his last couple starts when runners have gotten on he seems nervous on the mound and it has resulted in bad outcomes on the field. In 2010 the Twins have yet to win a game against the Yankees or the Rays that Liriano starts. He has pitched well in some of those games but in the playoffs it is about wins.
My Preferred ALDS Rotation
1. Carl Pavano
2. Brian Duensing
3. Fransisco Liriano
4. Nick Blackburn
Following the Twins Plan (LH, RH, LH, RH)
1. Brian Duensing
2. Carl Pavano
3. Fransisco Liriano
4. Nick Blackburn
I had a fun experience at the Danny Valencia Meet and Greet put on by AME Sports in the Rosedale Center. Danny was really nice and he was coming off of a huge game where he hit a 3-run HR and was player of the game. Check out AME Sports on Facebook they have some pictures to view.

Ingraham: Voting for Kerry is "aligning" with bin Laden; Limbaugh: bin Laden will take credit for a Kerry victory
Research ››› ››› NICOLE CASTA
On the eve of the presidential election, conservative radio host Laura Ingraham said that if you vote for Senator John Kerry, "you're aligning yourself with" Osama bin Laden, China, and France. Right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh went a step further, saying that "a Kerry victory after the bin Laden tape [a videotaped message broadcast October 29], will ... give Osama bin Laden bragging rights all across the Middle East" and that if Kerry wins, "militant Islamists" will conclude that "they had the ability to affect the election of this country without firing a shot like they had to do in Spain."
From Ingraham's guest appearance on the November 1 edition of FOX News Channel's On the Record with Greta van Susteren:
INGRAHAM: And I've gotta tell you, when people go in to the voting booth tomorrow, I really think a lot of people are going to get in there and realize they're aligning themselves, if they support Kerry, with the people of France ... with China ... which actually came out today saying they hate, they don't like [President] George [W.] Bush's foreign policy. You heard Osama bin Laden try to inject himself into American politics. So all these people you're aligning yourself with, it's not good.
From the November 1 edition of The Rush Limbaugh Show:
LIMBAUGH: And, you know, whatever the liberals think or say, and the two are not mutually exclusive, a Kerry victory after the bin Laden tape, will accomplish this -- it'll give Osama bin Laden bragging rights all across the Middle East. Stop and think -- and ... and in the -- in the words of the Left, create a whole new generation of terrorists.
If this -- if John Kerry wins this race and they got the bin Laden tape out there, do you realize what the conclusion will be by militant Islamists? That they did it -- they had the ability to affect the election of this country without firing a shot like they had to do in Spain.
It's gotten to the point now where the Democratic Party is actually echoing the words of a man who happily murdered 3,000 Americans on September 11 [2001]. The Democrat Party in this country is eager to point to the things bin Laden said and suggest that he's right, a man who happily murdered 3,000 Americans, and is eager to do so over and over and over again.
If there's that much rage and angry folks, a few little raindrops are not going to keep these angry Democrats from showing up and agreeing with bin Laden at the polls. ... That's a great -- with bin Laden, would you prefer I -- okay, all right, let me -- I take it back, bin Laden is agreeing with Democrats. Does that sound better? Bin Laden is agreeing with the Democrats. Take it however you wish.

Effective cardiac pumping is critical to supply oxygen for all physiological functions and is a primary determinant of a fish's upper thermal tolerance. This project will focus on mechanisms that account for the failure of the fish heart at high temperature and the large discrepancy for maximum heart rate that exists between fishes. The work is guided by the emergence of numerous studies showing that fish are either being threatened by increased water temperature or have relocated to cooler habitats globally. Irregular heartbeats are associated with cardiorespiratory collapse at supraoptimal temperatures and because heart rate reaches an absolute maximum near the optimal temperature in fishes, two hypotheses will be tested to determine the mechanistic underpinning for this limitation. The first proposes that the limitation lies with the cells of the cardiac pacemaker and the second posits that excitation-contraction coupling in the ventricle ultimately cannot keep up with pacemaker rate. These hypotheses will be tested using electrophysiology in single cells, optical mapping of the whole isolated heart; and in vivo measurements using echocardiography combined with ECG to identify other failings of integrated cardiac function in vivo. The student will be based in Manchester but will be encouraged to spend part of the degree working with other leaders in the field of comparative cardiac physiology. The opportunity to work in a consortium of labs will provides diverse and expert mentorship for development as a scientist. This PhD project is at the forefront of research on fish cardiac physiology and directly relevant to UK and global environmental concerns.

Globally, aquatic ecosystems face the localized and broad-scale influence of climate change. The 2012 UK Climate Change Risk Assessment predicts that by 2080 the average UK summer temperature could be 1-8 °C warmer and accompanied by more frequent extreme rainfall and drought events. Two obvious problems are expected to occur as a result of these forecasts: changes in water flow and increases in water temperature. This PhD project will combine field, lab and computational approaches to integrate the energetic physiology of the brown trout (Salmo Trutta) with temperature and shade cover in key sites within the 860 square mile Ribble River Catchment in the Northwest of England.
The PhD proposal stems from a partnership between the University of Manchester (UoM) and the Ribble Rivers Trust (RRT) and builds upon current work between institutions. The RRT is a science-led river restoration charity that, together with the Environment Agency (EA), developed an award winning climate change, mitigation and adaptation project called - Keeping Rivers Cool. This project plants trees to create shade to help maintain current water temperatures in anticipation of rises associated with climate change. Under the direction of RRT and UoM the student will learn GIS to manipulate the large high resolution 3D data set of tree shade provided by the EA for the Ribble catchment. The student will identify areas of varying relative shade to test the predictions of the model with respect to water temperature, shade and fish abundance. The student will work together with RRT's fisheries scientists to conduct robust and cost-effective riverine surveys of sites specified through the computational work. Data loggers will be implanted in keys sites before and after tree planting. These sites will be monitored for fish abundance and the influence of trees. In the laboratory at UoM, the student will conduct energetic and kinematic studies on swimming brown trout to reveal mechanisms underlying physiological limitations to performance in warming rivers with variable flows. The expected outputs of this PhD are to provide a framework that the RRT can utilise to ensure its improvement and restoration projects are effective whilst providing the student with robust field, lab and computing skills in fish environmental physiology.
The vertebrate heart has evolved from the 2 chambered fish heart to the 4 chambered mammalian/bird heart. Associated with the change in chamber morphology are important changes in heart how the output of the heart is regulated. Cardiac output in fish, amphibians and reptiles is increased, to a large extent, by changing the volume of blood pumped by the heart. This means their hearts are regulated by stretch dependent mechanisms. In contrast birds and mammals tend modulate cardiac output via frequency, increasing the heart rate, rather than volume. Indeed, the fish and turtle hearts can expand more than 300% to accommodate large changes in blood volume whereas birds and mammals can increase heart rate 600%. At the level of the cardiac myocyte, the cells from birds more closely resemble those of reptiles than those of mammals. Thus, birds occupy a unique position in the evolution of vertebrate cardiac design. Their hearts are capable of cardiac performance on par, or exceeding, that of mammals, but are made up of myocytes that are morphologically similar to reptiles and fish. This PhD project will provide the first detailed investigation into the bird heart and its position within vertebrates. The student will learn in vivo measurements of cardiac function, mechanical and electrical studies of isolated whole hearts and cardiac myocytes. By incorporating in vivo measurements, electrophysiology, florescent imaging and molecular biology the student will apply techniques at the forefront of cardiology and zoological research. Thus this PhD has both evolutionary and biomedical relevance.
The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is an intracellular Ca store in the myocytes that make up the heart. It is crucial for contraction and relaxation of the mammalian heart, but its role in other vertebrate classes is equivocal. Recent evidence suggests differences in SR function across species may have an underlying structural basis. Moreover, studies are emerging that show this Ca store acts as a safety mechanism in ectotherm hearts during environmental stress. This PhD Project explores the role of the SR in fish, reptiles, birds and mammals and how it is utilized to maintain cardiac function during stresses such as temperature, pH and hypoxia. The student will learn cardiac electrophysiology, florescent imaging and molecular biology - techniques at the forefront of cardiology and zoological research. Thus this PhD has both evolutionary and biomedical relevance and will provide novel insight into the evolution of cardiac design and function in vertebrates.

I can not for the work. In the folder ux have speedcam.zip and gja_speedcam.zip. I have to delete these files?
Does not work. You can spend ux file to compare with mine?
I have another problem. I cannot seem to get any POI working at all. They are all greyed out (not red) and it just says General error. Any ideas?
Thanks for the response. For any other users in the future who have problems with POI not working you need to update the global_cfg to the latest one. That solved it for me.
Thanks, I think that completes the list now and they are all working perfectly.
On another note does anyone know if there is an option to ALWAYS display the next turn (manoeuvre) regardless of how far away it is? I miss this option from Primo!
Finally in 4pda it got to work the sentence in sys.txt
Credits for @Neoss75. I compared the data.zip of 4pda with this forum and it's a little different. I will adapt this changes later. For now the tts say the distance if the speedcam it's in 1km until 250m. So, if the distance of car and the speedcam it's less than 250m, the tts voice it doesn't say the distance.Code:Please Login or Register to see the links

Why Biology-Chemistry?
- 1A degree in Biology-Chemistry will enable you to become an expert in two fields of science.
- 2A bachelor's degree in Biology-Chemistry can serve as the basis for hundreds of specialties in the medical field.
- 3If you are interested in studying medicine, a degree in Biology-Chemistry will put you a step ahead of your competitors. According to The Princeton Review, Biology-Chemistry majors are "the envy of pre-med majors everywhere."
Why Study Biology-Chemistry at Saint Joseph's College?
The Biology-Chemistry major combines the courses required for both a Biology and a Chemistry degree. By studying Biology-Chemistry, you will virtually earn two degrees, which is great for professional studies.
Note: Biology-Chemistry is a 62 credit hour Group Major, meaning students who study Biology-Chemistry earn a single bachelor's degree. If you wish to earn a degree in Biology and a degree in Chemistry, you must double major in Biology and Chemistry. Depending on the Biology track that you choose (Biologist, Physical Theraphy, Forensic Science, or Wildlife Ecology), a double major in Biology and Chemistry requires 80-92 credits. These numbers do not include the 45 credits required for Core.
Hands-on Experience
At SJC, you will be encouraged to pursue internships. Common Biology-Chemistry internships include working with Eli Lilly, state parks, various hospitals, and doing "in-house" internships with faculty. Students are also encouraged to take part in student research, which is instructed by the faculty on campus.
Dedication to Excellence
A degree in Biology-Chemistry is recommended as preparation for professional schools (e.g. pre-medicine, pre-dentistry, pre-veterinary, etc.), life science teaching, and other biology or bio-chemistry careers.
Faculty and Class Size
As a Biology-Chemistry major, you will have the privilege of working with both SJC's Biology and Chemistry faculty. Both our Department of Biology and Department of Chemistry consist of professors who hold doctoral degrees in their fields of expertise, have published research articles across the country, and have been called as expert witnesses in federal court cases. The average Biology-Chemistry class size varies; introductory classes have about 30 students, while upper-level classes may have 3 to 15 students. Higher level courses require more specialized equipment; therefore, the classes must be kept small.
Student Research
Employers and graduate schools look for laboratory, field method, and scientific writing skills. Research will teach you all three. Nearly all of our recent graduates who were accepted to medical schools, physical therapy schools, and graduate programs in the sciences gained experience by doing research at SJC.
Bio-Chemistry and Genetics with Dr. Cheryl Wistrom, PhD – Dr. Wistrom often sponsors student research or independent studies in bio-chemistry and genetics. Most recently, several of her students extracted potential anti-tumor chemicals from the bark of the Paw-Paw tree. They then assayed the potency of these chemicals against plant tumors. Another one of Dr. Wistrom's students studied tablet dissolution rates to better predict the rate at which tablets release medicines.

HELP A BROTHER OUT: Food Drive @ Saraveza
Thursday, January 29, 2009
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to read this….
Hard times in Portland, Oregon - Layoffs, foreclosures and other economic disruptions are taking a terrible toll on our families, friends and neighbors. I know I'm feeling it… at least once a week I talk to a friend or customer who has lost his/her job. Today's economic crisis stretches from loss of income to loss of nourishment. The calls for emergency help in Oregon are skyrocketing. The need to fight hunger in our own backyard is unprecedented.

Last week I mentioned a survey which stated that 21% of respondents intend to get an e-reader this year. I found that number surprisingly high, but over the weekend I saw another sign that the e-reader's time may have come. Sony has a new TV commercial in its "Experts" series that focuses on the Sony Reader.
You've probably seen one of the commercials in this series: it features football player Peyton Manning and entertainer Justin Timberlake as the anchors of a rotating panel of 'experts' who magically appear to help consumers make electronics purchasing decisions. In the case of the Sony Reader ad, Manning and Timberlake are joined by Howard Berg, who holds the world's record for speed reading, and Amy Sedaris, comedienne and sometime author. After the inquisitive customer asks "So you can read hundreds of books on this?" Berg responds with a deadpan "I just did." It gets worse, but I'll embed the whole thing below.
If you follow the link at the end of the ad you'll get to the "Experts" (warning, Flash-heavy, sound enabled link) section of the SonyStyle website. Berg is gone and Sedaris is left as the expert in charge of the Sony Reader section, answering a selection of questions via short video clips. Granted the tone of the "Experts" ads is always fairly light-hearted (in one of the early ads, a giant chicken is one of the experts) but I'm not sure I equate Amy Sedaris with reading books or famous authors. If Sony can get Peyton Manning and Justin Timberlake, why can't they get Stephen King or J. K. Rowling?
Still, it is interesting that Sony is taking the e-reader market seriously enough that it is spending money on TV ads to market the device. As far as I'm aware, this is the first time an e-reader has been advertised on prime time network television. My guess, and it is only a guess, is that the purpose of the ad is to expose the Sony Reader to people considering an Amazon Kindle. If you had no idea what an e-reader was I think this ad would just be confusing, but if you were considering a Kindle it would make you aware there are other options. What do you think? Please leave a comment!

More than 80% of local rail users are satisfied with their service, according to a recent survey.
The independent watchdog Passenger Focus found customer satisfaction with the South West Trains (SWT) network was 81%.
But for the network, which has services through Aldershot, Farnham, Farnborough, Ash Vale, Camberley and Fleet, that was down 4% on this time last year.
Tim Shoveller, managing director of the South West Trains-Network Rail Alliance, said: "Eight in 10 of our passengers remain satisfied with their service, but we know everyone who plays a part in running the railways has work to do to ensure we better meet the expectations of customers."
The data, published on Tuesday January 21, showed 80% of customers said they were happy with reliability and punctuality. Nearly 40% of passengers were happy with the way delays were dealt with.
Questionnaires were handed out at stations and 29,398 people took part nationwide, with 2,023 commenting on the SWT network.
The survey was carried out between September 2 and November 11, before construction work started at Fleet and Farnborough Main stations . Both will see their car parks increase greatly in size as part of a £2.8 million project. A new decked car park, which will provide 243 extra spaces, will be built in Farnborough while the number at Fleet will rise from 153 to 448.
The extensions, expected by March, have been funded through a Department for Transport initiative by Network Rail, the project is part of a tranche of bids from the £100m station commerc-ial projects fund.
Mr Shoveller pointed out the latest data was collected during the period the UK was hit by the St Jude storm, which had a severe impact on the South and South West.
He said: "Over the past few months, we have experienced some of the worst storms in decades. Passengers and employees had to deal with very difficult conditions. As well as working hard day-in, day-out to deliver a better service, we are committed to protecting the rail network for the future. We are targeting investment to reduce the impact of flooding, strengthen embankments and deal more effectively with fallen trees."
In the survey, carried out by Passenger Focus twice a year, customers were asked about five key priority areas: punctuality and reliability; train capacity; value for money; satisfaction with stations; and how well train companies deal with delays. Mr Shoveller said his firm was investing millions in the year ahead to 'make a difference' across every area that was a priority for passengers.
Improvements this year include extra staff at the busiest stations, extra carriages to provide an extra 23,000 peak time seats every weekday and free on-board WiFi on some lines.
The data showed satisfaction rates across the UK.
First Great Western, which had feedback from 3,080 users and has services running through Farnborough North, Blackwater and Sandhurst, showed a similar overall satisfaction rate with 80%.

Overstocking of London 2012 souvenirs and poor supplies of model trains saw Hornby's profits all but wiped out last year.
Despite selling almost £5 million of Olympics-based products, the firm had to discount prices heavily as shops failed to re-order models.
That led to a loss of £1.3 million on what executive chairman Roger Canham admitted had been a "disappointing venture into London 2012 branded products".At the same time, Chinese manufacturers failed to supply as much as 30% of the model trains ordered for Hornby's continental markets. Canham said the group has taken measures to spread its orders more widely.
Headline profits fell £4.5 million to just £150,000. After a £2.7 million writedown on the value of its Italian business and £700,000 costs of a management shake-up the pre-tax loss was £3.4 million. The dividend has been scrapped.
But Canham is optimistic that its Airfix Quickbuild kits, the relaunch of the £500-a-time Pocher Lamborghini model, and improving supply chains, give "a robust platform for future growth".
