COLUMBUS -- A few lucky Ohioans will get to attend Gov. John Kasich's State of the State address in Medina later this month, with an emphasis on the word "lucky."
As was the case for Kasich's past speeches in Steubenville and Lima, residents can submit their names to a lottery for dozens of tickets to be distributed to the general public. An exact number of such seats has not been determined, but 60 or so tickets were distributed last year.
The speech is scheduled for the evening of Feb. 24 -- that's a Monday -- at the Medina Performing Arts Center. The event technically is a joint session of the Ohio House and Senate, with members of both chambers expected to attend.
The facility has room for more than 1,100 people.
This is the third consecutive year Kasich has taken the speech on the road.
Medina, a community of 25,000-plus people, is located about two hours northeast of Columbus, is the hometown of House Speaker Bill Batchelder, who is completing his final term in the chamber, capping a legislative career that started in the late 1960s.
Residents wanting to snag tickets for the Medina event can make their lottery submission online at governor.ohio.gov/tickets. The deadline for entries is Feb. 18, with winners informed by email the following day.
Marc Kovac is the Dix Capital Bureau Chief. Email him at email@example.com or on Twitter at OhioCapitalBlog.

Arsene Wenger has expressed his confidence in goal-line technology following its introduction to English football.
The Football Association and Premier League launched the new Hawkeye system last week, which will see seven cameras trained on each goal. Should the ball cross the line, a signal will be sent to the referee's watch and earpiece within a second to indicate a goal.
Wenger is pleased to see the top flight embrace technology and hopes it will be a major success this term.

"The only bumps on the road could be if something very dramatic happens between the moment the ball goes over the line and the response of the [referee's] watch," the manager told Arsenal Player.
"That's a second and in a second a lot can happen in football. But there are about three incidents per year where the goal-line is a problem so let's hope it goes well. It's important if we want to go further that this experience goes well."

⇾ If you picked 1 – 5:04
⇾ If you picked 2 – 8:16
⇾ If you picked 3 – 12:11
Thank you so much, love you + enjoy your dayXOXO elizabeth
Thanks for all the time and energy u put into this website. Its really uplifting to read chose 1 and 3 crystals both spot on
going in for operation and resonate with these two.
Dear Elizabeth,
You are a Gem! I chose #3 and though it was not the crystal I "thought" it would be, the crystal that revealed itself is one very close to my heart. Labradorite brings magic into my life daily. And I mentioned the emphasis on the word "think" because I am newly aware of my spiritual self and the energies around me so I'm still learning what this means for me and how to integrate it into the life I've already created. Your message is in alignment with exactly how my life is making a transition so as to make more room for what my heart really desires, which is to open up to my angels and the support from my crystals in the ways that they can help me. I found your site through Ashley Leavys Crystal Summit. Your words on your interview were an answer to my question of how can I begin using crystals in my own healing journey, I thank my guides for leading me to you. Thank you so much!
May divine love and blessings shower you,
Dear Elizabeth,
Thank you so much, this was my first crystal colourscope oracle :) I chose number 3 and it was like you were talking to me and you knew all the work and healing I have been doing recently! It all resonated so deeply with me, thank you, thank you, thank you!
How interesting you mention a book in the crystal reading #2… I have just started the Course in Miracles! The crystal for Pisces this month is Soirit Crystal which I bought last month…my favorite, its so beautiful. Thank you again, so enjoy ypur werkly/monthly readings. :-)
Thank you Elizabeth… This was an amazing message for me for August! As I intuitively had the color of the crystal come to me as you selected the crystal for all of us, the color that came to me was orange, which was not accurate for the message for us all, but then I chose message 1, which was indeed orange… Whoop! Message 1 completely resonates with me too. You're amazing!
Thanks so much for these – picked number 3 (again without realising I had watched it on YouTube previously!) Resonated fully with the message. Bless your guidance x
I was able to intuit number one's color. Very exciting! Thank you for helping my growth.
Thank you Elizabeth for your videos & all your knowledge that you share I love listening to you.
I picked 2 and black so I was very excited , the message was great .
Thank you
How freaky (in a very cool way!)that only the other day I was looking at my crystals and I felt drawn to the green stones.I've never had that experience before,not without actually holding one. So,of the 3 or 4 that I had picked up,Labrodorite was the one that made my palm tingle! As you were talking about this stone I was nodding!.. It was as if you had heard what I was thinking…You interpretation of this beautiful stone and what it meant to be drawn to it is so accurate! Very excellent! Blessed Be,Elizabeth,for sharing such an amazing gift with us.xxxx
I chose number 3 and Wow did it have such truth for me. You know I always listen to your color scopes as if the message is talking directly to me. This way I feel most open to the message and its like the pieces always fall perfectly into place. You mentioned a feather and I had just been on a morning walk in the forest and on my path was a beautiful blue and black feather. It reassured me that my meditation in the forest had been heard and your crystal scope message was validation of just that.
I chose number 1 and thought yellow and the word confidence came :)
You are something else ! Amazingly accurate :) love it !
Hello Elizabeth!
First of all I want to thank you for your precious help. For quite some time I watch your videos, I was joined the webinar " what s blocking your succes"…it was just amazing…havenly…your energy and teachings help me to conect to the Angels and with Divine Light..thank you again.
Concerning august cristal colorscope oracle…I chose msg no 3 and I intuitted the color: labradorite…I ve seen green. Lately I see many angels massages and feel their presence in my life.
Thank you again.
Be blessed !!
Dear Elizabeth,
This message was very very good for me! My kids are all going to be in school after the summer and I will have lots of free time. So I am looking for a new career opportunity to help support the family. I picked 2 and so the message was what I needed to hear! I am looking for a new opportunity and its coming my way soon! Thank you.

• philistine •
Pronunciation: fi-lis-teen • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: 1. One of a non-Semitic people living on the coast of Palestine in the 12-11 centuries BCE who were frequently at odds with the Israelites. 2. A crude, ignorant, uneducated person with no understanding of the finer things in life, an oaf, a clod, a yokel.
Notes: Ignorance or apathy toward culture and intelligence is philistinism and those possessed of it are philistinian or philistinic (the adjectives). Remember to capitalize this word when referring to the original Biblical people. Of course, we would not dignify contemporary philistines with capitalization. Harrumph!
In Play: Save today's Good Word to describe those who are your enemies for their lack of cultural sophistication: "Mom says that philistines are constantly trying to move funds for art and music to the athletic program at school." Modern day philistines are with us all the time and bear watching: "Izzy Badenov is such a philistine he thinks absolute pitch is a perfect strike thrown in baseball and a falsetto is an Italian con artist."
Word History: The original Philistines were a nation of uncertain origin who occupied the southern coast of Palestine and constantly harassed the Israelites. The association of their their name with crudeness and barbarity arose in Jena, Germany in 1689 when a minister chastised the townspeople as Philistines (German Philister) after an angry mob had killed a troublesome student. In his 1869 book, Culture and Anarchy, British author Matthew Arnold adopted the word in this line: "The people who believe most that our greatness and welfare are proved by our being very rich, are just the very people whom we call Philistines." It was Arnold's reference that set the term for English. (Today we thank Chris Berry for helping us deliver this blow against philistinism by suggesting we investigate the word itself.)

Pitkin County scores federal funds
June 22, 2013
A program that pumps millions of dollars into the coffers of the governments of Pitkin, Eagle and Garfield counties faces an uncertain future because of the federal budget situation.
About 1,900 rural governments, mostly counties, reap federal Payment in Lieu of Taxes, or PILT, funds each year. It's the federal government's way of compensating counties for property taxes they miss out on because of federal ownership of land.
But rural counties don't always get top priority in Congress, especially during fiscal-austerity moves. U.S. Sens. Michael Bennet and Mark Udall scrambled last year to help keep the PILT program alive. Authorization for payments was attached to a transportation bill.
This year, $21.5 million was shaved from the program because of federal sequestration — mandatory cuts to the federal budget after Congress failed to craft its own plan.
Counties receive funds based on a formula that includes their percentage of federal lands, population and prior-year payments from revenue sharing of mineral-leasing royalties.
Pitkin County's share of PILT funds dropped slightly to $1.25 million this year from $1.28 million in 2012.
Eagle County's payment fell to $2.04 million this year from $2.09 million last year.
The program has become increasingly important to the counties over the past decade. Pitkin County received $555,514 through PILT in 2003. The 2013 amount is up 125 percent.
Garfield County received $2.83 million through PILT for 2013. That is up nearly seven times from the $403,176 received last year.
Garfield County saw its PILT funds plummet starting in 2010 because of revenue-sharing from mineral-lease royalties. The federal government returns some of the funds it receives from oil and gas companies to the counties where federal lands are leased and oil and gas are produced. The sharing of revenue was meant to offset additional costs that counties were incurring from oil and gas activity, such as the need for new roads.
Garfield and Mesa counties made adjustments so that they aren't direct recipients of mineral-lease revenue anymore, according to Garfield County Commissioner Tom Jankovsky. Towns in the counties still can apply for grants via programs established through the revenue-sharing. And by receiving fewer dollars through mineral-lease revenue-sharing, Garfield County received significantly more PILT funds, he said.
Jankovsky said Garfield County's PILT money should be fairly stable for years to come. That's assuming that the program is maintained.
Bennet and Udall have tried to get PILT reauthorized for five years so the rural counties of Colorado have certainty about the funds, but Congress hasn't gone along with the idea, according to a representative of Bennet's office.
An announcement by the U.S. Department of Interior, which oversees the PILT program, indicated that a long-term commitment is being sought.
"The president's fiscal-year 2014 budget proposes to extend mandatory full funding for the program for another year while a sustainable long-term funding solution is developed for the PILT program," the Interior Department said.

As the second year of drought prompts ranchers to bemoan their meager winter forage and reduced hay stocks, big game managers are echoing the same sentiments across much of the Equality State.
Adding to the trepidation of severely stunted growth on the shrubs that traditionally sustain deer and antelope through the winter is that these species are woefully short of fat reserves in some of the state.
"With big game entering the winter in less than desirable condition and with scarce winter feed available, most big game will be vulnerable to starvation this year especially if the winter is severe," said John Emmerich, Game and Fish Department wildlife management coordinator in Cody.
In Emmerich's region of the Bighorn Basin, Absaroka front and west slope of the Bighorns, winter range forage or grass production is well below average but probably better than winter range shrubs. Surveys of mountain mahogany in the Bighorn Mountains and sagebrush on the northern foothills of the Owl Creek Mountains revealed production or new growth was less than 10 percent of average.
Emmerich says the region's best winter ranges, which are only rated as 'fair,' are higher elevation elk ranges of Sunlight Basin, Northfork of the Shoshone and Greybull River drainages.
To the south in the upper Wind River Valley, surveys on the uplands of two G&F habitat areas also document forage demise. The well-known Whiskey Basin area has averaged 437 pounds of forage per acre over the last 15 years. This year it only produced 179 pounds per acre. On the north side of the valley, the most meager forage production year ever recorded through 2000 on the Inberg/Roy area was 208 pounds per acre. This year it was only 89 pounds. The 19-year average has been 320 pounds.
"We're in sort of a Catch-22 situation," said Lander Region Wildlife Management Coordinator Joe Nemick. "If it snows a lot early in the winter, animals will suffer because they can't reach what little food is left. And if it doesn't snow, much of the forage production will be low again next summer, and wildlife will suffer on the other end."
Mountains are slower to reflect drought impacts, and Pinedale Wildlife Biologist Doug McWhirter reports, "Most big game coming off the summer ranges of the Bridger-Teton National Forest were in great shape."
Those animals will need that fat because forage and shrub winter range production in the Jackson/Pinedale region is also suffering from drought. Surveys on five elk feedgrounds from Big Piney to Jackson discovered grass production at its lowest level since statistics were first compiled in 1995.
The drop is particularly acute at the Bench Corral Feedground north of Big Piney where the 40 pounds of grass production is 59 percent lower than 2000 and 79 percent lower than 1995. The Patrol Cabin and Horse Creek feedgrounds near Jackson also had drastic drops in grass production.
Shrub or browse growth was nearly nonexistent on the Big Piney deer winter ranges. Mountain mahogany shrubs averaged less than .10 of an inch of twig growth or "leader" production in 2001. Deer productivity is reflecting the 2000 shrub production of only .70 of an inch, down drastically from 3 inches of leader in 1999. Doe:fawn ratios in the well known Wyoming Range Deer Herd have fallen to 61-63 fawns per 100 does this winter from an average of 75-85 from 1997-2000.
The drought has had similar effects on sagebrush. "Research has shown that a lot of our sagebrush is old and decadent with only around 13 percent protein," said Dan Stroud, Pinedale habitat biologist. "This is a concern since we know a pregnant deer generally requires a diet of 13 to 18 percent protein during late gestation and lactation. We'd like to rejuvenate these old sagebrush stands with fire or mechanical means, because the young plants that come back have around 17 percent crude protein.
"If winter conditions are relatively mild, deer losses could remain about average," he added. "However, if we end up with heavy snow accumulations and continued cold temperatures, we could lose a lot of deer as we did in the winter of 1992-93."
Mortality may not only be reserved to animals, as some shrubs may succumb to the stress of two consecutive years of drought and as the woody part of the plant is consumed or "hedged" by browsing big game and cattle.
Mother nature has given deer and antelope a little bit of a break with a mild fall, as big game animals face winter with lower quality forage and browse and less of it.
Declining habitat availability and productivity, not just from drought, but also from urban growth and energy development, is a major reason the G&F is proposing the Wildlife Legacy Trust. The interest from this trust fund would help finance habitat improvements, plus gather needed information on nongame species that could be the target of threatened species petitions.
"Wildlife funding needs to be diversified to meet the upcoming challenges in Wyoming," said Bill Wichers, G&F deputy director of external operations. "Ideally the fund would grow annually, as the pressures on Wyoming'?s wildlife resources grow."
Wichers adds a bill will be introduced in the upcoming legislative session to establish the trust. The exact source of funding for the trust has yet to be determined but could include mineral royalties or general fund appropriations.
"Funding for all wildlife has traditionally been shouldered by hunters and anglers," Wichers said. "The Wildlife Legacy Trust will be a funding source that represents all Wyomingites."
Wichers urges citizens to voice their support of the trust to their state representatives and senators.
Forage and browse report from other parts of Wyoming:
Casper Region:
Winter range conditions in Natrona, Converse, Niobrara, Weston and Crook counties are a "mixed bag," reports Darryl Lutz, wildlife management coordinator in Casper.
"Prolonged drought has and is having a profound effect on winter range conditions throughout the South Bighorns, Rattlesnakes, Bates Hole and the northern Laramie Range," he said. "Based on our habitat transects, these winter ranges are dismal at best."
He said production by shrub species key to the survival of mule deer and pronghorn in Bates Hole was only 60 percent of the highest production year in the 1990s, and production of mountain mahogany in the Laramie Range in 2001 was 62 percent of last year's growth.
The Black Hills were buffered from the 2001 drought by a heavy summer rain. The area?s deer were in good to fair condition this hunting season.
Sheridan Region:
Sheridan, Johnson and Campbell counties are also hosting a variety of winter range conditions.
Habitat Biologist Bert Jellison estimates forage on the G&F's habitat areas along the east slope of the Bighorns is 30 to 50 percent of average. Campbell and eastern Johnson counties were the beneficiary of the same summer monsoon-type rains that soaked the Black Hills and are in better condition to support wintering big game.
"These short-lived storms provided some green grass and forbs during a very crucial period for milk production in big game," he said.
Some of the Sheridan region was blessed with a fall green-up. After receiving some October rain and snow, the warm November helped prompt some vegetative growth. "This new plant growth gave ungulates an opportunity to gain fat after weaning young and undergoing the rut," Jellison said.
Laramie Region:
Although far from lush, the southeast corner of Wyoming is in comparatively good winter range condition compared to the rest of the Equality State.
Overall, harvest checks discovered big game to be in good to very good condition in Goshen, Platte, Laramie, Albany and eastern Carbon counties. But even with better spring moisture than western Wyoming and a heavy July rain, browse and forage conditions are mixed.
"Mountain mahogany and service leader production was poor to almost nonexistent, while mountain big sagebrush and bitterbrush produced reasonably well despite marginal growing conditions," according to Laramie Habitat Biologist Rick Straw.
"I suspect mule deer in most areas of southeast Wyoming will do reasonably well unless we get a severe winter," Straw said.

need ideas for decorating this mantel
1 Attachment(s)
i have this "faux fireplace" looking thing in my living room. I'm not really sure what it is or why it's there. the home was built in 1892 and it's never been a working fire place.
i'm painting that room soon and i want to do something with the big black area in the center of this "thing." any ideas on what i can do with this area? should i paint it the same color as the wall? it is painted black now.
thanks for any ideas, i really appreciate your input.

Citation: Hoecker, U., Toledo-Ortiz, G., Bender, J., Quail, P.H. 2004. The photomorphogenesis-related mutant red1 is defective in CYP83b1, a red light-induced gene encoding a cytochrome P450 required for normal auxin homeostasis. Planta. 219:195-200. Interpretive Summary: Previous genetic analysis identified a component, RED1, that is required for normal development of Arabidopsis seedlings in response to red light (Rc). We have now shown that red1 mutants are defective in the cytochrome P450 CYP83B1, an enzyme required for normal auxin homeostasis. The evidence indicates that red-light induction of the CYP83B1 gene may be necessary for normal seedling development via the auxin hormone system.
Technical Abstract: Previous genetic analysis identified a component, RED1, that is required for normal de-etiolation of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. seedlings in continuous red light (Rc). red1 mutant seedlings exhibit elongated hypocotyls and reduced cotyledon size specifically in Rc and not in continuous far-red light (FRc). Here, we show that red1 is allelic to sur2 and atr4, and is defective in the cytochrome P450 CYP83B1, an enzyme required for normal auxin homeostasis. Two alleles of atr4, like red1, exhibit increased hypocotyl elongation and reduced cotyledon expansion in Rc but not in FRc. We further show that CYP83B1 transcript levels are elevated specifically in Rc-grown seedlings when compared with seedlings grown in darkness or FRc. Hence, the Rc-specific phenotype of the red1 mutant may indicate that Rc-induction of the CYP83B1 transcript is necessary for normal seedling de-etiolation in the wild type.

On Wednesday, March 28, the International Club and the Minority Student Union (MSU) held a cookout at the International House to celebrate Greek Week. This event was also to celebrate diversity at Hampden-Sydney College and to bring members of the two clubs together. The idea was originally proposed by Dean Mladen Cvijanovic, Assistant Dean of Students for Intercultural Affairs and New Student Orientation, and his advice was happily accepted by the presidents of both clubs. More than fifty members from both clubs attended the cookout.
The cookout began at 6PM, and good food knows no boundaries. While the Minority Student Union provided classic American food, grilled hotdogs and cheese burgers, to the guests, the International Club served its ethnic specialties: Burmese Chicken Curries, Spicy Stir-fried Chicken, Russian Potato Salad (Olivier Salad), Teriyaki Chicken Wings, and Fried Rice. Not only did the members enjoy both classic American food and international cuisines, the two organizations were also able to create a closer relation.
The International Club, which was founded to enrich and cultivate a sense of cultural diversity within the Hampden-Sydney community, held its annual election to choose the new executive team for the 2012-2013 Academic Year. They are:
President: Yonathan Tarekegne '13 (Addis Ababa, Ethiopia)
Vice-President: Michael Gubbins '14 (Raleigh, North Carolina)
Treasurer: Phyo Thu Win '14 (Rangoon, Burma)
Secretary: Eddie Park '15 (Virginia Beach, Virginia)
Public Relations Officer: Robinson Sagar '15 (New Delhi, India)
Web-Master: Davonte Bradley '14 (Norcross, Georgia)
Philanthropic Chair: Aleksandar Obradovic '14 (Belgrade, Serbia)
One of the goals of the HSC 20/20 Strategic Plan is to build and retain a more diverse, civil, and engaged college community. The MSU and International Club, two of the most active organizations on campus, have been serving an important role in promoting diversity at Hampden-Sydney College. Beginning with this cook-out, we look forward to establishing a brotherhood between the two organizations in order to serve the campus community in the future.

Great Fun Carved Wooden Santa on Sleigh Plaque
No idea of the origin of this one, he appears hand carved of pine and hand painted, he is slightly primitive and great fun. Santa measures approx 15" long by 12" tall, he has toys in his sack including a delightful bear and a candy cane, and is vintage rather than really old. The plaque is in good estate order with just minor age related fading and wear, he has a basic hanger made of wool held by two push pins, which easily support the weight, and he looks very nice hung on a wall, he would also be rather nice propped on a mantle. Nice festive addition to your Christmas decor.

Latest Newscast: On Way to NYC, Ice Storm Hammers South
Here are the latest stories from the WNYC newsroom.
The second wintry storm in two weeks to hit the Deep South encrusted highways, trees and power lines in ice Wednesday, knocking out electricity to more than 350,000 homes and businesses. It's expected to bring snow, rain and sleet to the tri-state area beginning early Thursday morning, and could leave up to 10 inches of snow by Thursday night.
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio released his first budget for the city, with his universal pre-kindergarten plan as the centerpiece. The proposal allocates more than $500 million to pay for the program by taxing households that earn more than $500,000 a year. In Albany, Governor Cuomo continues to promote his own plan, one that doesn't raise taxes and is available to all of New York State.
A New York City bus driver is dead and three others injured after a stolen box truck slammed into the bus in the West Village.
Sid Caesar, the prodigiously talented pioneer of TV comedy who paired with Imogene Coca in sketches that became classics and who inspired a generation of famous writers, died Wednesday. He was 91.
The Obama administration says about 1 million people signed up for private insurance under the health law in January, extending a turnaround from early days when a dysfunctional website frustrated consumers. But wide disparities are emerging among states in health insurance sign-ups, according to an Associated Press analysis of federal enrollment statistics released Wednesday
Snow returns after midnight tonight with a low of 23. Accumulations of 1-3 inches expected by daybreak; a total of 5-10 inches possible by late tomorrow night. A winter storm warning is in effect from midnight tonight through Friday morning.

Some pictures would really help, but you're definitely a 2-something. Brushing your hair when it's dry is a no-no for curl definition – that's why it's poofing! I'd suggest you ditch the brush and only detangle your hair the days you shower. Smooth/scrunch some leave-in into your hair to refresh it, but don't brush it through.
Also, more important than your curl type are your hair's properties (texture, porosity, etc). Check out Live Curly Live Free - Curly Hair Basics – it'll help you determine what your hair will thrive on. Hope that helps!

Sometimes the roads and trails can take a bite out of the front end of your vehicle. Low-lying perils on the ground are everywhere and often appear without warning. While large game and livestock that stray into the road pose an obvious risk, it's more likely that high curbs, tree stumps, large rocks, frozen edges of rutted tire tracks, and bumpers of other cars will cause you grief. Dee Zee lets you protect the front end of your truck as well as its oil pan and other mechanical items from these unexpected hazards with the Bull Bar - available in polished stainless steel or traditional steel with powder coat finish. The Bull Bar is sized and contoured to fit your specific vehicle, and installation is easy because the base bolts directly to your vehicle's frame without drilling. Should you find your front license plate is obscured by the bull bar, Dee Zee offers a mounting bracket to relocate it on the front of the bull bar.
The Bull Bar mounts easily to your vehicle's frame, and routes any shock directly there so damage does not occur to bumpers, grilles, front air dams, and other front fascia items. A rigid, built-in skid plate takes the hits in place of your oil pan, trans cooler lines, and transmission pan so that bumps in the road don't turn into bumps in your wallet. Dee Zee uses 3" diameter tubing that's shaped during the manufacturing process using the Mandrel bending technique of inserting balls inside the tube to ensure consistent diameter and metal integrity around curved sections. Should you wish to add auxiliary lights to your Bull Bar, pre-drilled holes on the mid-section bar make it easy.
Since 1977, Iowa-based Dee Zee® has sought to create products and accessories for trucks and SUVs with class-leading levels of style, quality, and longevity. Their success and growth in the marketplace has always been fueled by listening to what customers want, then building the things competitors did not offer. Dee Zee believes being environmentally aware is extremely important and views efficient manufacturing to minimize pollution and waste as a corporate responsibility. That philosophy goes hand in hand with fundamental beliefs that a product which effectively resists corrosion represents a better value for the customer – giving it a longer useful lifespan instead of becoming more junk in a landfill. CARiD is proud to offer the Dee Zee product you've seen on this page as well as the company's complete lineup of running boards, grille guards, tool boxes, bed protectors, mud flaps, liquid transfer tanks, cargo carriers, and much more.

- //Nemi
Italy's Nemi is not exactly a newcomer on the indie hip-hop scene in his home country, but he's only just breaking ground as a singular talent with his brand of laid-back, Italian hip-hop. The first single off his new EP, 11, is tailor-made for coastal lounging. With all the elasticity and sweetness of a soft caramel chew, "Quello Che Mi Resta" is a European confection of warm, lush funk and steady, relaxed grooves, never stirring beyond the fuss of a gentle breeze.
The track dips a little closer to R&B than it does to hip-hop, though Nemi's fluid, easygoing rhymes keep the number rooted in the traditions of rap, its minimalist electro-beat a nod to the golden age era of early '80s hip-hop. Thrown into the judicious mix of styles are some sly touches of pop-smart humour; strain hard enough and you may hear just the barest hints of Paolo Conte, Italy's king of quirky barroom jazz-pop. "Certainly my musical influences aren't limited to just rap, but all kinds of soul music or Italian music of the '70s and, in the later period, electronic music too," he says. Thematically, the song explores the usual affairs and personal grievances of angst-ridden youth – the stuff most pop music is made of. "Quello Che Mi Resta" is about the duality that everyone, I think, has inside their soul," Nemi explains. "Two characters that coexist in one person: A rational part and another irrational, seen from my point of view and dealing with my personal experiences."

There is a great deal of earnest discussion these days about whether Gov. Gary Herbert should sign a deal with the state of Nevada on that state's plan to suck groundwater from beneath Utah's Snake Valley and pipe it 285 miles south to Las Vegas. The governor himself said the other day that his hands are tied: "I can't stop the pipeline. That's a decision [Nevada] will make independently of us."
I respectfully disagree with the governor. Our objective should be precisely that: Stop the pipeline. That may seem politically infeasible, but it is not.
If it is built, this pipeline will do so much damage, and harm so many interests, that it presents an unprecedented opportunity to create an enormous and diverse coalition to oppose it.
Ideally, a "Stop the Pipeline" coalition would include the state of Utah, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and numerous counties and irrigation districts. Because the pipeline is a threat to Great Basin National Park, all proponents of parks, including the National Park Service, the National Parks and Conservation Association, and millions of park aficionados, would join the coalition.
The pipeline also poses a threat to several federal and state wildlife refuges, so the coalition would gain support from such wildlife-protection organizations as the National Wildlife Federation and the Audubon Society. The Great Basin offers tremendous opportunities for hunting and fishing as well, so groups that represent hunters and anglers have an interest in opposing the pipeline, including Ducks Unlimited, The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and the Boone and Crockett Club.
Because the proposal threatens the Goshute Indian Reservation, every one of the 310 Indian reservations in the United States has a vested interest in stopping what would be a terrible precedent for de-watering tribal land.
The pipeline, which would draw tens of thousands of acre-feet of water a year from aquifers under the arid Utah-Nevada border, has the potential to create some of the worst air pollution and dust storms since the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. Thus, it is a direct threat to everyone who lives downwind, including all the counties and cities of northern Utah.
Every organization in America that is concerned with air quality and public health, ranging from the American Lung Association to the U.S. Public Health Service and the Environmental Protection Agency, has an interest in stopping this project.
The pipeline also presents a grave danger to numerous farms and ranches in the Great Basin, enough so that every ranching and farming advocacy group in the U.S. should sign up for this effort, including the Farm Bureau and the U.S. Cattlemen's Association.
The pipeline is also a perfect example of Big Government excess, and will require enormous tax increases for the residents of southern Nevada. Every anti-tax group, from the tea party to the Utah Taxpayers Association, should resist this massive project, now estimated to cost taxpayers more than $15 billion.
There are also many people in Las Vegas and the state of Nevada who oppose the pipeline, including those who will get stuck paying the bill, and those who love the natural beauty of the Great Basin. Also, every group that advocates protecting the Great Basin, such as the Great Basin Water Network, would like to stop this project.
And every environmental group in America, ranging from the Sierra Club to the Wilderness Society, will oppose this environmental disaster-in-the-making.
We have an opportunity to put together one of the largest and most diverse political coalitions ever assembled in American politics.
Now is not the time to sign agreements. Now is the time to organize and make our collective voices heard.
Daniel McCool is a professor of political science at the University of Utah, where he is director of the Environmental and Sustainability Studies Program and codirector of Sustainability Curriculum Development.

I'm not sure video game players need more incentive to check out Assassin's Creed III. Between its setting during the American Revolution, delightful use of muskets and naval warfare, the action title from Ubisoft has made a strong impression thus far.
In case you need more convincing, the publisher has launched a fresh trailer taking viewers through the world of Assassin's Creed III and its AnvilNext technology.
The game launches Oct. 30 for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Mike Snider began covering the video game industry during the Super Nintendo-Sega Genesis clash in 1992. An original pinball wizard, he eventually was seduced by Robotron: 2084 and Tempest. These days he is a fan of action/shooters and lives out his Keith Moon fantasies playing a mean drum kit on music games. More about Mike.

Your question begs more questions like how you dress, what your budget is, etc. Being a Senior Member, you know what I mean. That said, I'd look at and shoot the Kahr CM9 (a less expensive version of the PM9), along with other guns mentioned in the various responses. I have a CW9 with 2 FTEs when new, out of over 1,000 trouble free rounds so it will be reliable.
I also like the fact that with one in the pipe and your trigger pull for the safety, you won't waste a second if, Heaven forbid, you need it NOW.

Sorry for not being very clear. I stated on another thread what my problems are and the FordCustomerService user on this forum offered me some help to talk directly with my dealer about it. I decided to give it a try. Let's see how it goes over the next weeks.
I'm going to copy and paste my post below, so you can have the complete explanation.
But first, let me say something. Sorry but I don't agree with your opinion that I need to "GET USED" with the noises on my car. A brand new car, with just 3500 miles on it, should not make transmission noises. I'm not American, so I'm living here as a legal immigrant, but in Brazil me and my family have already owned a lot of brand new cars, and none of them made noises on the transmission. This is the first time ever. It just doesn't make me feel confident.

I own a 2012 Focus Hatchback, bought my car on May, 2012 and the build date is 24.04.2012. (How could I know which version I have on my DCT automatic transmission? Can anyone help me with this? Much appreciated.)
While driving my car and applying the brakes before a turn, usually after finishing the turn and giving gas to the car again, I hear some weird sounds coming from under the hood, sounding like gears/metal scratching each other. Another situation that it usually happens is when I apply the breaks before traffic light, and I turns green before I come to a full stop, so when I start giving gas to the car again I hear the same sound. I'm positive that this issue is related with the transmission.
The same does not happen (or maybe I haven't noticed the sound until today) when I drive on the S mode though.
I don't drive that much, my car only has 3500 miles. I live very close to my work, so my commute is very small.
It's really frustrating owning a brand new car and hear some weird noises coming from the hood. I've never experienced that before on my life.
I really hope that I can get this problem fixed, because I decided to buy a Ford instead of a Honda to support an American company.
While doing a research yesterday, I found this website:
On this website we can check all the TSBs and Recalls related to any car. Maybe it can be useful to anyone.
And while searching for issues related to a 2012 Ford Focus, I found this document:
I'm planning on asking my dealer to fix my problem, and show him this document. I'm not an expert on cars, neither on the laws (I'm a legal immigrant and tax payer living in the US), so any advice would be very appreciated.
I wish all you guys good luck.
All the best.

yyrkoon - Thursday, August 28, 2008 - linkCall me old school, or whatever, but I like clean lines on my case exterior, and this one seems to attempt to be too trendy. I have to agree with the first poster, Lian Li makes much better looking cases, and for cheaper.
The interior however I feel was extremely well thought out. I like the hinged motherboard tray, and the 120mm fans on the drive cages are really nice. This case seems to have taken the best things about the Antec p182, and built on them. Reply
mmntech - Friday, August 29, 2008 - linkI don't know about trendy. I thought the mainstream was moving away from full tower units. I think the Khaos is pretty ugly. It looks like the old IBM server chassis. That's what I think this is, a server case that they're attempting to remarket at gamers. The modular design is handy though. A removable motherboard tray is something that should have been integrated into all enthusiast cases a long time ago. Reply
Omega215D - Thursday, August 28, 2008 - linkFor the money I'd rather have my CoolerMaster Cosmos S than the NZXT case. Reply
nubie - Thursday, August 28, 2008 - linkNice, but a Lian Li is better looking (my opinion) and just as well put together (possibly better), for less money.
Can you remove the hinge pin on the motherboard tray to install the heatsink first? The way it looks to me is that you could put the extra large heatsink on the motherboard with the tray completely removed. Then attach with top screws and finally put the hinge rod back in.
But this may or may not be easier depending on your heatsink. I put a Scythe Infinity Mugen on a P5NE-SLi with a bolt kit and it was nearly impossible to install even with the motherboard out of the case. If the Scythe came with a bolt kit and holes through the fins so you could use a long screwdriver it would be nice. (I know I know, there are better heatsinks, this one cost $45 with fan and was for overclocking a Celeron 430.) Reply
nubie - Thursday, August 28, 2008 - linkActually, this case does look pretty cool, but for the price I don't think I would spring for it. $250 or so and it will be a pretty popular case though. Reply

Camargo, S. J. and A. H. Sobel, 2005: Western North Pacific tropical cyclone intensity and ENSO. Journal of Climate, 18(15): 2996-3006.
The influence of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on tropical cyclone intensity in the western North Pacific basin is examined. Accumulated cyclone energy (ACE), constructed from the best-track dataset for the region for the period 1950-2002, and other related variables are analyzed. ACE is positively correlated with ENSO indices. This and other statistics of the interannually varying tropical cyclone distribution are used to show that there is a tendency in El Niño years toward tropical cyclones that are both more intense and longer-lived than in La Niña years. ACE leads ENSO indices: during the peak season (northern summer and fall), ACE is correlated approximately as strongly with ENSO indices up to six months later (northern winter), as well as simultaneously. It appears that not all of this lead-lag relationship is easily explained by the autocorrelation of the ENSO indices, though much of it is. Interannual variations in the annual mean lifetime, intensity, and number of tropical cyclones all contribute to the ENSO signal in ACE, though the lifetime effect appears to be the most important of the three.

The properties of tropical cyclones in three low-resolution atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs) in seven ocean basins are discussed. The models are forced by prescribed, observed sea surface temperatures over a period of 40 yr, and their simulations of tropical cyclone activity are compared with observations. The model cyclone characteristics considered include genesis position, number of cyclones per year, seasonality, accumulated cyclone energy, track locations, and number of storm days. Correlations between model and observed interannual variations of these characteristics are evaluated. The models are found able to reproduce the basic features of observed tropical cyclone behavior such as seasonality, general location and interannual variability, but with identifiable biases. A bias correction is applied to the tropical cyclone variables of the three models. The three AGCMs have different levels of realism in simulating different aspects of tropical cyclone activity in different ocean basins. Some strengths and weaknesses in simulating certain tropical cyclone activity variables are common to the three models, while others are unique to each model and/or basin. Although the overall skill of the models in reproducing observed interannual variability of tropical cyclone variables has not surpassed or often even equalled that of statistical models, there exists potential for higher future skills using improved versions of dynamical approaches.

A regional climate model is tested for several domain configurations over the southwestern Indian Ocean to examine the ability of the model to reproduce observed cyclones and their landfalling tracks. The interaction between large-scale and local terrain forcing of tropical storms approaching and transiting the island landmass of Madagascar makes the southwestern Indian Ocean a unique and interesting study area. In addition, tropical cyclones across the southern Indian Ocean re likely to be significantly affected by the large-scale zonal flow. Therefore, the effects of model domain si e and the positioning of its lateral boundaries on the simulation of tropical cyclone-like vortices and their tracks on a seasonal time scale are investigated. Four tropical cyclones, which occurred over the southwestern Indian Ocean in January of the years 1995-97, are studied, and four domains are tested. The regional climate model is driven by atmospheric lateral boundary conditions that are derived from large-scale meteorological analyses. The use of analyzed boundary forcing enables comparison with observed cyclones in these tests. Simulations are performed using a 60-km horizontal resolution and for an extended time integration of about 6 weeks. Results show that the positioning of the eastern boundary of the regional model domain is of major importance in the life cycle of simulated tropical cyclone-like vortices: a vortex entering through the eastern boundary of the regional model is generally well simulated. The size of the domain also has a bearing on the ability of the regional model to simulate vortices in the Mozambique Channel, and the island landmass of Madagascar additionally influences storm tracks. These results show that the regional model can produce cyclonelike vortices and their tracks (with some deficiencies) given analyzed lateral boundary forcing. Statistical analyses of GCM-driven nested model ensemble integrations are now required to further address predictive skill of cyclones in the southwestern Indian Ocean and to test if the model can realistically simulate tropical storm genesis as opposed to advecting existing tropical disturbances entering through the model boundaries.
Sobel, A. H. and S. J. Camargo, 2005: Influence of western North Pacific tropical cyclones on their large-scale environment. Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 62(9): 3396-3407.
The authors investigate the influence of western North Pacific (WNP) tropical cyclones (TCs) on their large-scale environment by lag regressing various large-scale climate variables [atmospheric temperature, winds, relative vorticity, outgoing longwave radiation (OLR), column water vapor, and sea surface temperature (SST)] on an index of TC activity [accumulated cyclone energy (ACE)] on a weekly time scale. At all leads and lags out to several months, persistent, slowly evolving signals indicative of the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon are seen in all the variables, reflecting the known seasonal relationship of TCs in the WNP to ENSO. Superimposed on this are more rapidly evolving signals, at leads and lags of one or two weeks, directly associated with the TCs themselves. These include anomalies of positive low-level vorticity, negative OLR, and high column water vapor associated with anomalously positive ACE, found in the region where TCs most commonly form and develop. In the same region, lagging ACE by a week or two and so presumably reflecting the influence of TCs on the local environment, signals are found that might be expected to negatively influence the environment for later cyclogenesis. These signals include an SST reduction in the primary region of TC activity, and a reduction in column water vapor, and increase in OLR that may or may not be a result of the SST reduction.
