- From Richard Lee we have seven children, — five sons and two daughters.
- Fulco Lee, the eldest son and heir of Langley, married twice ; first, Alicia, daughter of Henry Cornwall of Birington, in the county of Hereford, of which family, Burke, in his "Landed Gentry of England," says, "The Cornwalls are descended from Richard de Cornwall, who had the manor of Thunneck, in Lin-

- colnshire, from Edward, Earl of Cornwall, eighth of Edward I., 1280. He was ancestor of the Cornwalls, barons of Burford, the senior line of which family is now represented by the heir, Gen. George Cornwall Leigh, Esq., of HighLeigh, Cheshire."
- ' Thomas Lee, Esq., of Langley, is the only son of Fulco Lee by his first wife. Falling heir to an immense estate, he married into the distinguished family of Corbet, forming the second alliance between the two families. This Robert Corbet, the father of Jana, of Morton-Corbet, Shropshire, married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir John Vernon. Robert Corbet also had another daughter Elizabeth, who married Sir Henry Wallop, Earl of Portsmouth.*

- ' By the union of Thomas Lee and Jane, there were ten children, — three sons and seven daughters.
- All the daughters married, one of whom was united to another of the Corbet Family, of whom Burke mentions, —
- "Sir Edward Corbet of Longnor and of Leighton, knight, was created a baronet in 1642. The senior branch of the family expired in 1774, with Sir Richard Corbet, baronet, whereupon the title descended upon Charles Corbet of London, great grandson of Thomas, the second son of the first baronet. Edward Corbet of Longnor Hall, Shropshire, J. P. and D. L., lieutenant-colonel of Shropshire Militia, 1817, is a descendant of this branch."*
- The eldest daughter, Jocosa, marries Robert Morton of Houghton, who was a widower at the time, as a daughter of his marries Thomas Lee of Nordley. Maria, the fourth daughter, marries Edward Plowden, of which family Burke speaks : —
- Richard Lee, eldest son and heir, married a daughter of Walter Wrotesley, of Wrotesley, of which family we gather an interesting account: —
- http://www.archive.org/stream/genealogicalhist00mead#page/n46/mode/1up
- Among the chancery proceedings of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, we find an interesting suit between this Richard Lee and his brother Jerome, for an annuity bequeathed the latter by Thomas Lee, their father, issuing out of the Manor of Dotinton, Shropshire, as claimed under the will ; from which fact we may infer that Thomas Lee died some time during the reign of that queen.

Far away from the frontiers of the 21st century, the US Federal Reserve is still stuck in the past…past errors of monetary policy…and textbook theories of macroeconomic management that neither promote recovery nor allow for past mistakes to be acknowledged. But yesterday the Fed was busy freaking out investors.
The Fed has no plans for another round of quantitative easing, according to the March 13th minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), which were released today. According to the minutes, "A couple of members indicated that the initiation of additional stimulus could become necessary if the economy lost momentum or if inflation seemed likely to remain below."
The statement suggests the Fed thinks the US economy is expanding and that inflation is low. Thus, there's no need for more "stimulation" with another round of Quantitative Easing. Of course, the Fed is probably wrong on both counts. The US economy is not on a long-term path to recovery and inflation is almost certainly higher than the official figures show.
It wouldn't be the first time a central bank was wrong in its interpretation of economic events. But that is neither here nor there. The investment reaction to the minutes was swift and bearish. Stocks, gold, oil, and bonds initially fell. Stocks rallied a bit by the close, but still finished down.
All of this is nonsense.
That is, it's absolute idiocy to base your investing strategy on expectations for more stimulus from the Federal Reserve. That is not the best reason to buy stocks. It is not even a reason. It is a hope, or probably just a gamble. At the worst, it is a giant, unproductive distraction from thinking about the things that will really determine whether you make or lose money in the next 10 years.
The Fed has succeeded in putting itself at the centre of day-to-day investment calculations. But this hasn't promoted certainty about what to expect. It's promoted speculation about how to get ahead of the Fed and profit from its next move. This attitude of front-running monetary policy has taken over asset markets.
We should backtrack for just a moment. Monetary policy certainly WILL have something to do with your winners or losers for the next 10 years. If your investment strategy is based on a benign belief that official interest rates will remain low and asset prices will benefit, you're almost sure to lose money. You'll get blindsided by just the sort of event that central bankers and economists are never clever enough to see coming.
But in saying this, we're taking the other side of the trade from Goldman Sachs' chief economist, Jan Hatzius. He went on CNBC yesterday afternoon and said that more asset purchases from the Fed will probably happen by June. Hatzius says that Operation Twist – where the Fed kept interest rates on 30-year bonds low – is set to end in June. He reckons QE3 will be its successor.
Should you really take the other side of the trade with Goldman?
Well, in our view the best thing you can do is not to make the trade at all. Don't base your investment strategy on expectations of stimulus and central bank asset purchases. That is a loser's game. You can't win it. The only way you can win it is if you're a bank or a broker using leverage and gambling with other people's money. Those guys can win because they can't lose. The clients take the loss, the firm takes the profit.
Our mate Kris Sayce has taken the same view with his small-cap strategy for 2012. Kris did a good job of getting into the market in 2009 before the first round of QE. This liquidity boost lifted stocks all over the planet, including Australia. But each new round of QE or stimulus since has had a shorter and less significant impact on stock prices.
Kris has taken the view that the QE/stimulus discussion is an attention trap. Instead, he's trying to find good small businesses with business models that don't depend on leverage to increase earnings. More importantly, he's looking for a small business that can increase its earnings dramatically, even in the current environment.
Of course he's looking for that, you might imagine. We all are! Well, no, we all aren't! That's one point Kris has made in his newest report. If you focus on the small end of town and look at businesses from the ground up, you're doing work that most people aren't doing right now. That gives you an advantage as an investor. And that's a great start.
The important point, we think, is that when you measure the market by a broad index like the All Ordinaries, you can see it's done almost nothing for the last seven years. Granted, whether you made money or not determines when you began investing, and if you have any particular stocks that would have outperformed the index. But there's an important point takeaway from all this.
The takeaway is that the fund managers and index trackers hang on every word from the Fed because those words influence the indexes. All the Fed and central bank liquidity goes into the same big stocks and securities. For fund managers whose job it is to track an index, following the Fed is the key to avoiding professional embarrassment and meeting minimum performance standards.
They are playing an entirely different game from you, an individual investor. We'd encourage you to not play their game. If you play their game, you'll see your index tracking funds and investments move up and down with various policy announcements. And then seven years later you'll be no closer to meeting your retirement goals.
Seven years is a long time to make no money in the markets. Can you afford another seven years of flat stock prices? Another 12 years? Another 23 years? Those are not random numbers. If you'd bought Japanese stocks at the peak of one of their periodic rallies over the last 23 years, you would still be underwater.
Japan's stock market peaked in 1989 and has never recovered. There have been multi-year tradeable rallies where you could have made money. But buying and holding for the long term when you're in the middle of a cyclical period of deleveraging will simply not work. Remember, Japan is the global leader in using monetary policy and low interest rates to recover from an asset bubble and a debt crisis. You can see what that's done for stock prices, and for investors.

Sometimes you want to show off the love you have for your country. Sometimes you want to show off the respect you have for our boys and girls in uniform. And sometimes you just want to use your right to free speech. Guess what? Flags cover all those bases at the same time.

Yeah but just because they want to be one (winning by a slim margin) doesn't mean they'll become one. It's really up to Congress to decide and work through the issues. Also, the incumbent gov who is pro-statehood lost to a pro status-quo candidate so who know what that means.
As to the referendum, the results leave a pretty mixed picture rather than a people united for statehood.
Go Navy!
I would've liked a US flag, as well. Oh well.
Go Navy!
Remember, this is an *overstock* site. Why do you think they've got the Grand 'Ole 50 flags up? =)
I don't know woot - you disappoint me. Celebrating Veterans Day you omitted one of the Services? Easy to say, not our fault, big deal or whatever. Well it is a big deal!
Seriously, as an active duty member of the Air Force, I'm kind of offended that we were left out.
Last two times, I believe, they left out the Coast Guard, so shut up. and thank you for your service, lol.
Also, Happy Birthday, Marine Corps.

Along the lines of woot being an overstock clearance site, maybe not having an Air Force flag means that they were all sold out in regular sales - high demand and all. .-)

Going to have to agree with you, there. ;-) (My dad was a USAF Major.)
Come on Woot, you should've just posted it up as sold out already, and nobody would've been the wiser! A few others sold out pretty quickly ;)
Or, due to budget cuts (and they are gonna get a LOT worse in January) the Air Force has had to trade their fighter duties to the Navy for invisible UAV's...perhaps the Air Force flags are in stealth mode. They are there, you just can't see them!
thanks for including the coast guard flag. My DH was a coastie and you don't find CG flags too easily.
No USAF??? Wow!
"Occasionally the tree of Liberty must be watered with the blood of Patriots and Tyrants." -Thomas Jefferson.
Here on Veterans day we should all take the time to thank our Vets. Your dedication and sacrifice, some the supreme sacrifice has and continues to insure all Americans live free.
Veterans, Thank You from not only America, but all the Fee World as well.
Damn skippy! I went looking for my branch, and nada.
Was going to comment on the dis to the Air Force but see it has already been addressed. Too bad, as my hubby was wanting an in ground flag pole and we are both AF vets.

Many males in Papua are furious at a recent law pushed through the Indonesian parliament at the urging of fundamentalist Islamic groups which makes illegal, "bodily movements" deemed obscene and capable of violating public morality. Mr. Suroba, a sixty year old Papuan, said the Indonesian government in the 1970s tried to get him to wear pants and they failed then and will fail now. He insists Papuan males have the right to wear a penis gourd(koteka) and no one is going to get them into pants. The idea that outsiders can tell people their culture is incorrect is opposed not merely by men of Papua, but millions of other Indonesians. Do nude totem carvings fall under the ban against "obscene" images?
The police in the region are not too excited about the prospect of trying to force men to change their centuries old cultural practices because some fundamentalist Muslims hundreds of miles away spend their evenings worrying about nudity or people dancing the wrong way or a person's display of the body. Muslims have their right to live as they so desire, but they have no right to tell other humans what is right or wrong about images and dress.

|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Each day, it is becoming less and less clear if the Red Sox will be able to retain Jason Bay. Since Bay came to Beantown in the Manny Ramirez deal, Sox fans have gotten more then they could have asked for. This past season, he had career highs of home runs (36) and RBI (119). He has been Theo Epstein's choice for left field, but as he looks into the market, the Sox might have to look elsewhere.
Should Bay walk, look for the Red Sox to push hard to acquire St. Louis free agent outfielder Matt Holliday. Many believe the big free agent battle for top dollars will be between Bay and Holliday, who are the two biggest bats on the market. Both would also bring big contracts to left field, so who should Sox fans prefer?
He is a solid hitter and a better then average defensive threat. He can cover a lot of ground and lead a team when needed. Before the 2009 season, Sporting News ranked him 35th in the list of the 50 greatest current baseball players. Expected to file for free agency, the Rockies traded him to Oakland last offseason and was then shipped to St. Louis, when he had an unproductive stint with the A's. In his first game with the Cardinals, he went crazy in a four-hit game with an RBI. His stats from St. Louis (13 home runs, 55 RBI's, .353 average) were close to his stats in Oakland (11 home runs, 54 RBI's, .286 average), but were accomplished in 30 fewer games.
However, if there is one thing that people will remember about Holliday from his 2009 season, it will be during the playoffs. With two outs in the bottom of the ninth, the Cardinals got a pop fly which would have tied the divisional series at a game apiece. Holliday appeared to be under it, but lost the ball in the lights and dropped it. The Dodgers rallied behind the bloop double and won the game later that inning, and two days later knocked St. Louis out of the playoffs. Many criticized Holliday for not being clutch in October, which would be true if it wasn't for 2007.
Two years ago, Holliday was the central piece of a Rockies team that shocked the world. Colorado won 21 of 22 games to not only earn a playoff appearance, but the clubs first World Series berth. He was second in the MVP voting after leading the NL in average (.340), hits (216), doubles (50), RBI's (137), extra bas hits (92) and total bases (386). He was also named NLCS MVP after leading the sweep of the Diamondbacks. Do not think that he can't produce like that again just years later. He would be a great fit in Boston and it's hard to argue someone would be a better in left then him.
Still, if you were going to pick someone to start in left field next season over Holliday, look no further then Jason Bay. Believe it or not, Bay was part of three teams before he became a top player with the Pirates. Originally drafted by the Montreal Expos, he was traded to the Mets, and then was traded yet again and made his major league debut with the Padres. In 2003, he was traded to the Pirates and immediately had an impact. His first two seasons in Pittsburgh, Bay was hitting near .300, before he had two breakout seasons. During the 2005 and 2006 seasons, Bay's batting average was over .300, and had back-to-back 100 plus RBI's and 30 plus homerun seasons.
However, he struggled in 2007 while battling injuries. By 2008, he became part of the annual tradition of the Pirates dumping their star players. With Manny Ramirez run out of Boston, Bay stepped in and had big shoes to fill. His Boston debut saw him score the winning run in the 12th inning. He wasn't the immediate impact player the Sox thought he would be, but he proved his worth next season. In 2009, he was named on the same Sporting News' list of the top 50 players, as number 41. Bay had career highs in home runs (36) and RBI (119). However, he also was seventh in the league in strikeouts with 162.
After discussing Holliday's struggles this past post season, Bay's were nothing to celebrate either. Needing a big bat, Bay was a staggering 1-8 with three strikeouts, three walks and zero RBI's, and it was no wonder why the Red Sox could not compete with the Angles. His .125 batting average was horrendous; there is no other way to look at it. However, Bay has history in Boston. When he became a United States citizen this past summer, he had a ceremony held in Faneuil Hall.
Still, Bay apparently wants to be closer to his home in Seattle and will see what teams offer him a deal, if the Sox want to keep him they'll have to open their wallets, which is the same with Holliday. Which make one wonder, why don't the Sox look elsewhere?
The Red Sox are always one of the big spenders in the offseason. They are currently looking at some big name players to come in, including Roy Halladay. However, Boston has a great farm system and could always bring someone in midseason as they have in the past (remember Jacoby Ellsbury?), which means they can be looking at someone to fill the void in left for a while, at a fraction of the cost to Holliday or Bay.
Rick Ankiel, Marlon Byrd, Mike Cameron, Scott Podsednik, Gary Sheffield, So Taguchi, former Red Sox OF Coco Crisp, and former World Series MVP Jermaine Dye are some of the names that can take up left, if only for part of the season. Some are coming off strong seasons, as to be expected with pending free agents. There is always Johnny Damon as well, but after going to the Yankees, it would be hard to welcome him back.
There are other options besides Matt Holliday and Jason Bay, but would Red Sox fans feel cheated if they didn't land a top free agent?
It's hard to say who would be a better fit. Sox fans have seen what Bay has to offer and it has been good. There is always the chance Holliday can come in and become another potential MVP for Boston. They are both potent offensive weapons, but Holliday's defense could be a bigger factor. If it came down to these two guys, you have to think Sox fans would choose Bay. Why go through a new relationship when the one you're in works? Still, anything can happen in the offseason, so don't be too surprised if you see Damon roaming left field next season!

I think they will do whatever it takes to keep Bay, the only problem is if Bay wants to be part of the organization… if he doesn't, then that offer will go to Holliday… in my opinion…

We can't tell who CMoney is, because, obviously, I'm not handing over any information that could reveal his identity. His post was in fact quoting
a post from another forum
, which is quoting an email from Eaton itself, which says that the pump and the motor are both Made in China.
In addition, this issue is about the distortion of truth, and the use of "60%" rules to obscure the nation in which Mr. Cain's compressors are manufactured.
Hey Jon, Maybe Mr. Cains and Mr Levins Lawyers can do lunch.....Fasten your seatbelt, you going for a bumpy ride, that learning channel **** was nothin dude, my sphinters getting tight just thinking about it...lol
At least I'm glad we're on the same page that it's a side-issue whether the compressors are manufactured in America, China, or on the moon. For me, this isn't about Matt's compressors at all -- it's about his behavior.

or Why the crafty serpent is winning the argument again
Two of the most hotly contested topics in the church today are homosexuality, and the role of men and women in the church. The two issues have two things in common. Firstly, they arguably cause more disagreement and controversy than any other topic within Evangelical and wider Protestant circles. Secondly, on both of these issues, pastors, lay people and theologians are essentially reinterpreting what scripture says. It's the second of these two that I will focus on here.
My focus is how Christians are reinterpreting scripture, though homosexuality and gender roles will be used as illustrations of how it is occurring. Readers may disagree with me on those issues, but that merely serves as an illustration of the controversy surrounding them. In attempting to make sense of the biblical texts which speak of these issues, you hear people say things like, "Oh, but that text is for that particular church at that particular time." Scholars are translating the original Greek in entirely new ways, showing that Paul didn't really mean that homosexual practice is sinful when he wrote Romans (see , for example). Paul also couldn't have meant that women are not to teach the bible when he wrote to Timothy (see ). Even if he did, they might say, it doesn't apply to us today. In other words, people are starting to say that Paul didn't really mean what we've always thought. Continue reading Sinful Culture vs. Holy Bible
26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips,
6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time. 7 For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
8 I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling; 9 likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, 10 but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works. 11 Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve; 14 and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.

When you are tagged, you post 7 random facts about yourself, compose a "new DIARY entry" along with the rules and put them in your own DIARY. Then you pick 7 furs (kitties or doggies) to tag but make sure you tell them... a simple p-mail will do fine, or a rosette to tell them, but you must let them know that they have been tagged. Post their names also in your DIARY.

On the street, things like reaction time means everything. Typically, something like this would lead to a loss IMO. You can't let people launch on you like that man! Also, you typically do this on the street, even when you race 'Vettes and stuff? I don't understand how you do it...give similar cars the jump and then reel them in.
Yes, I know its a mistake to wait leaving the line. I only do it when I'm not 100% sure the other car is racing. I hate lookind stupid by revving to 5k and dropping the clutch when the other car doesn't even race.
So I usually rev to about 3-3.5k and wait. As soon as I see that the other car is going for it. I floor the gas and drop the clutch. I do it pretty fast and it usually only cost me about a 1/2 car leaving the line. I can usually make that up by the top of 1st gear.
If by chance a Vette or 03 Cobra lines up next to me and I know we are going to race for sure. I'm dumping the clutch at 5k as soon as I see the green light.

This week I did a webcast, Planning for Failure, which makes the assumption that if you haven't been breached, it is inevitable, and you must be able to quickly detect and respond to incidents. An effective response can be the difference between your organization's recovery and future success or irreparable damage. While I was working on the slides for the webcast, I started to reflect back on the 2011 security breaches that personally impacted me. Three breaches immediately came to mind:

Homemade Ricotta
Recipe by Kay00427
This is the easiest cheese recipe ever!! I found the recipe in Gourmet Magazine. I use 1% milk, but you can use any kind, whole, 2% or even skim milk. This produces about 2 cups of dry curd ricotta; you can make it creamier, by draining it for a shorter time, or by stirring some of the drained liquid back into the cheese. If you use lemon juice it makes a good ricotta for desserts, and the one using vinegar is excellent for main dishes. Either can be used interchangeably, it's all about preference. The lemon is very pronounced.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 pints 1% low-fat milk
- 1 cup cream
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice or 3 tablespoons vinegar
- 1 cheesecloth, to line sieve
Directions See How It's Made
- Line sieve with cheesecloth and place in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Bring milk, cream and salt to a boil over medium heat stirring often to prevent scorching.
- When mixture boils, add lemon juice/vinegar and reduce heat to low. Stir constantly for 2 minutes until mixture curdles. When curdled, remove from heat and pour into prepared sieve .Allow to drain for 45 to 60 minutes. For creamier texture drain for 45 minutes, or add desired amount of drained liquid and stir. Will keep refrigerated for 2 days. Yields 2 cups.

Darius shrugs off Pop Idol
When an unknown Scotsman called Darius Danesh auditioned for Popstars with an excruciating version of Britney Spears' Baby One More Time, he seemed set to be little more than one of reality TV's embarrassing footnotes.
But the determined Danesh resurfaced on Pop Idol minus the ponytail and beard and with a startling new attitude which took him all the way to the final three.
While Will Young and Gareth Gates were swept up in the euphoria of being the nation's new favourites, Danesh cannily melted away for months.
Danesh seems determined to be different, co-writing every track on his new album Dive In and stamping his name right through it like a stick of seaside rock.
Colourblind kicks off proceedings with its light, poppy, guitar-driven manner, easy lyrics and a memorable chorus and turns out to be a tentative test song for some of what lies ahead.
New single Rushes is hardly a quirky experiment lacking in pop sensibilities, but it is a rich, chugging, rock-tinged little ditty. And a chorus backed by a vein of Celtic fiddles is an electrifying treat.
The lush strings make a comeback in the album's title track, another strong song which sits comfortably in the rock-pop camp and has a hard-to-ignore uplifting vibe.
I Gotta Know Tonight and sweet tune Girl In The Moon lay to rest the old image of Darius Danesh, the supremely over-confident Popstars hopeful who lacked sensitivity.
In contrast, Danesh, the successful solo singer-songwriter, seems to musically excel on this upbeat collection.
Sliding Doors is another rich feast of strings, guitars and layered instrumentation and sees Danesh's distinctive voice exercised to its fullest, while Mocking Bird is another cheery treat capable of beating the murkiest of moods.
If any comparisons have to be made with his former Pop Idol colleagues, then it is all in their voices.
Gareth has the boyish voice of an angel, Will is a honeyed tenor, while Darius is blessed with a chocolately baritone with an easy elasticity - and sounds superb on this album.
Dive In is a thoughtfully produced, even collection of songs with no nasty blips and a clutch of tunes which make a lasting impression - plus a hidden track to search for.
Danesh's rich voice is a beautiful instrument which blows his contemporaries out of the water - although as Pop Idol showed, it is not everyone's first choice.
His musical sensibilities have been allowed to shine through, and his rock-edged pop is reminiscent of a male Natalie Imbruglia.
Above all, he has made every effort to shake off his Pop Idol tag, and coming third was possibly the best thing that ever happened to him.
But better still, Danesh can look back on his Britney Spears moment and laugh it off for good with this piece of work under his belt.
Dive In by Darius is out now on Mercury Records.

It's Monday morning and I'm whizzing — almost silently — around a coned "race track" right inside the O2, but something's amiss. To my left, in the left-hand-drive all-electric Nissan Leaf car, there's a door, complete with window, electric switches and so on. To my right there's just a big gaping hole; no passenger seat, no roof. Nothing, really.
It's all part of a publicity stunt by the backroom boys at Nissan to highlight the fact that the Leaf is now one of only 11 or so vehicles still eligible to register for free entry for the congestion charge zone, following changes Transport for London introduced this week.
From Monday, only cars that emit 75g/km of CO2 or less and that meet Euro V emissions regulations can register to avoid paying the £10 charge. Many "clean" cars previously eligible — such as the petrol/electric Prius hybrid as opposed to their Plug-in model — now have "sunset" rights and, if previously registered, can continue to be used until June 2016. But after that — or even if they are bought by another owner in the interim — they will be eligible for the full whack.
TfL says it's all about moving with the times and adapting to the latest technology. So Monday was a good day to reveal the latest version of the Leaf, by allowing us to drive their "half Leaf", that was — literally — cut in half by laser, to showcase the various under-bonnet and under-floor components including, of course, the battery pack that allows the car to be charged up at an on-street or domestic charging point.
So what's new? For a start, the new Leaf is now built at Nissan's booming plant in Sunderland which, interestingly, built a total of 510,000 cars last year (including the Juke and Qashqai), compared to the sum total of 480,000 cars built over the same period by all car makers in Italy.
It still produces zero "tailpipe emissions" but there are, say Nissan, a total of 100 engineering changes. From the outside, you'd have to be a bit of a car-spotter to notice the differences, including changes to the bumpers, grille, door mirrors and wheels.
Underneath, however, it's a different story. More importantly, buyers can upgrade (at a cost of £850) to the 32 amp charging system, which cuts charging time in half, to just four hours, instead of the eight hours it takes for a full charge on the no-cost 16-amp system. There's a new heating system that uses 70 per cent less energy than the previous Leaf (although not in the entry-level Visia model), helping extend the car's range on a single charge.
A fully integrated motor and charger now frees up a little more boot space and the overall weight of the car has been trimmed by 32kg. The suspension has been "tuned" — firmed up — for European driving conditions and the seats are claimed to be more comfortable, even though I didn't find them particularly supportive. There's a wider colour range, a wider choice of equipment including leather trimmings, and there is an LED illuminator and lock for the charging cable.
Nissan says the new Leaf will now "do" 113 miles, against the previous model's 105 miles, on a full charge, in good conditions. The "Carwings" app, meanwhile, means you can now pre-heat the car's interior by remote control from your smartphone or iPad, and the Leaf's on-board SIM card lets it update the location of public charging points, which will number 10,000, UK-wide, by 2014. There are already 1,300 in London alone, and British Gas will fit one for you, free, at your home, or upgrade it to the faster 32amp system for £99.
What's it like to drive? Well, you swiftly forget it's electric, while it quietly, efficiently and smoothly gets on with the job. It's easy to drive and — because of the tremendous amount of "torque" that an electric motor produces, right from a standstill — it's very quick away from the lights. It's roomy enough and easy to see out of.
Really, the Leaf makes great sense in London, but only if you have somewhere to charge it. You could have a charger fitted at home (if you have a driveway or garage) or if you are confident there's a charging point available when you park near your place of work, use that. Alternatively, you can ask your local council to install a charging point in your road, which it may do.
The good news, of course, is that you will save on the C-charge and be doing your bit for the planet, and Nissan's claimed "fuel costs" of 2p a mile seem a no-brainer. For Nissan it's good news too; the old Leaf, imported from Japan, lost the firm money when it sold in the UK. The new one will make a profit.
New Nissan Leaf
Top speed: 89mph; 0-62mph: 11.5 secs;
Gearbox: single-ratio "reducer";
Price: from £15,990 for entry-level Visia (inc Govt grant) +£70 per month battery lease

While searching Nanohawiki for some info on the Saint Church, it has come to my attention that the Belkan/German term for 聖王 there is actually Heiliger Kaiser ("Holy King/Emperor"). A check on episode 25 (2:08 of this link) showed that the Cradle also addressed its master by the same term.
The irritating thing is that on nanoha.com, Adult-Viv is labeled as the Sankt Kaiser instead.
While the meanings are essentially similar and only nitpickers like me would be disgusted over the lack of consistency, I thought maybe this little bit of info might be useful for anyone interested.

Considering it is a standard storage device, I would say inside Schwertkruez.
Notice how in episode 10 she grabs Schwertkruez before summoning the tome, for example. It doesn't prove anything, but it does support it being stored inside Schwertkruez.

Found a couple interesting things at NanohaWiki.
なのは達のインテリジェントデバイスやシグナム達のアームドデバイスとは異なり、ストレージ機能も無い、た だの魔法発動媒体に過ぎない。(ただし、ストレージデバイスである「夜天の書」があるのでシュベルトクロイ ツにはストレージ機能は必要無い。)
To guarantee that it would be able to sustain the power of Hayate's wide area magic it was given a simple structure without an AI or a Cartridge System.
It's not like Nanoha and the others Intelligent Devices or like Signum and the others Armed Devices, nor does it have a storage function. It's nothing more than a medium to invoke magic. (That's because with the "Book of the Night Sky" being a Storage Device a storage function for the Schwertkreuz was not neccesary.)
Book of the Night Sky
はやてが自分の記憶野にない魔法を使用する場合、ここからの読み込みが必要となるため、発動にタイムラグが 生じる。
For Hayate to use magic not in her own field of memory, it is necessary for her to read into the book, which in turn creates a time lag in the spell's invocation. Ew, poor phrasing. :X
So perhaps the book is actually the book?

EDIT: On second thought, it might just be called Storage Function referring to how Storage Devices work. but what the heck.
<shakes fist at the direction of Japan>
Though there's no mention with regards to other restrictions on the new Tome. Exceelleeeent... >:3
Thanks for the info, dokupan!

Hm... so there's three components to a device - storing the structure of the magical spells, supporting the mage during the actual casting of the spells, and boosting the power of the mage's spells.
Raising Heart fills all three roles, but Hayate's devices don't. In a way, it makes sense. A lot of Hayate's spells are complicated, slow-casting ritual magic, and she has a much larger variety of them than the other characters, so it's not a surprise that she can profit from a device with a heavy emphasis on spell storage and support. At the same time, those spells are already high in magical output (to the point of ridiculousness?), so a separate device to facilitate the actual casting makes sense. Furthermore, because the staff's not a sentient device, Hayate can run it into the ground if she has to, and just swap it out like a worn-out cannon barrel after things are done.
So what's Rein's function? Hayate says she helps control, but we don't really know if Hayate needs the help or not; it's entirely possible that she's mostly redundant for Hayate's own skill set, which would mean having her merge with Vita or Signum is a better use of her talents. But I dunno...

Hayate specialises in using big-ass spells, which are normally hard to control. For Nanoha and Fate, Raising Heart and Bardiche helps them to off-set this disadvantage by helping them to target as per their functions as Intelligent Devices.
On the other hand, Buch von Dunkelheit and Schwertkreuz are Magical Tome and Armed Devices respectively, both of which are are not 'Intelligent'. Therefore, Hayate has to control her spells by herself, which is very taxing, as she has to calculations and charging of the spell all by herself. Having Rein, who is sentient, who plays the part that Raising Heart and Bardiche plays, means that she is helping Hayate with the minor details(such as targetting) so that she(Hayate) can focus on her spells.

Correction, Nanoha may not be reliant on RH, but she obviously helps with Nanoha's control. In A's episode 1 she struggles to control one Divine Shooter without RH's help. In season one she commonly had between 2 and 4 flying around when she was using RH. Never mind the eight rounds she controls with Axel Shooter.

Been poking around NanohaWiki and found some more stuff on the Schwertkreuz. It has, like, 3 different articles. X<
(These only reaffirm what we already know/have guessed at but you can never have too much information, amirite? :B)
一般的なデバイスのように魔法管制・記録能力はほとんど無く、杖本体は加速・圧縮などの魔力サポートのみを 行っている。都築氏によると「単なる砲身」とのこと。
この理由は不明だが敢えて推定すると、はやての場合には、魔導書本体がストレージとなり、融合したリインフ ォースが管制をしているため、一般的なデバイスの機能が不要なのではないかと推測される。
Unlike the commonly-used devices it has very little magic control or record(ing) ability. It's structure is meant only to offer magic support such as acceleration and compression. According to Tsuzuki it is "merely a gun barrel."
The reason behind this is unknown, however one can assume that, with a magical tome's structure being meant for storage, and that when in unison with Reinforce it is she who manages control, the functions of commonly-used devices would not be necessary for Hayate.
So that would explain Rein's purpose.
(Mind you, this article was written for A's (hence why it says 'Reinforce' rather that 'Reinforce II') but it's probably still the same nowadays.)
Still nothing on where the new Book Tome of the Night Sky is stored though. :/

NJ's Jitney Drivers Love Facebooking While Driving: Report
(Lauren Evans) Following a tragic accident in which a distracted New Jersey jitney driver hit and killed a little girl in July, authorities have been cracking down on bus drivers found to be texting behind the wheel. But an "investigation" by NBC, which apparently enjoys a sufficiently bloated profit margin that it can send reporters out to ride the bus for two days, found that many drivers are still going strong with their cell phones.
Of 21 drivers observed, 10 were found to be distracted, typically either with counting money or flipping through their phones. One driver, more occupied by Facebook than the road ahead of him, reportedly looked down for several seconds at a stretch before peeling his eyes away from the screen. "Are you afraid that what you're doing is going to cause an accident?" the reporter asked. The driver waved his hands and didn't answer.

Back From The Relic Hunt
I returned last night in a blinding thunderstorm from my relic hunting adventure on *battlefields in Culpeper County with a three-day beard, aching muscles, muddy boots, tales to tell and a sack full of rescued relics. What an adventure! Instead of trying to share the finds and whole story in a post now, I'll be producing a video which will tell the story so much better. Lots of interesting things to share. Stay tuned.
*On private property.

Swing set play area frame out...
My wife and I just bought my daughter her first swing set.Here is where I need the help. Now to mark off the area and lay out base for play area. I spoke to a friend and he said he used 4X6 and rebar to frame out the play area with child safe mulch. My question is since I have never have done this job what is the best way to go about this... Frame out the size I need using maybe 2X4 or 4 X4 I am putting it in an uneven area so I will have to do some leveling should I remove the grass or leave it and put some weed block mesh down then put the mulch down. Baiscally use dirt or the mulch to level the play area and how should I frame it out.
1 Attachment(s)
When I did mine, I marked off the shape of the area with a couple garden hoses attatced end-to-end.
I then used weed & grass killer in the entire area. The amount of time it takes for the grass/weeds to turn brown varies.
Then I dug the area out about 8 or 9 (?) inches down and filled it with mulch. Haven't added any yet this year. Wood chips can be a little sharp, so look for a shredded mulch, pea gravel or sand. I didn't use the sand or gravel because I thought the gravel would only end up in the grass and the kids would bring sand in the house on their clothes and shoes.
I thought about using PT lumber or cement to edge the area, but I was afraid someone would fall and get hurt on it.
I would not use the landscape fabric to keep the weeds out. It doesn't work. Weeds grow up through it and the root system is still below the fabric. That makes it impossible to pull the weeds out. Or, seeds land on top of the fabric and the roots grow down beneath the fabric.
Once the weeds start growing again in that area, I wait for a day the kids won't be outside and spray with the weed & grass killer again.
Here's a picture of the play area in my back yard.
Hopefully, that is a child-safe weed killer. Most of the store bought ones shouldn't be used, as they collect in the bark/chips around the weed. Over time this builds up and the child puts his fingers in his mouth , then collects/eats the chemical from touching it. I have not tried this but it sounds like a good alternative to poisoning children: http://www.backyardgardeningtips.com.../weed-killers/ Be safe, G
I'd dig down & then fill with pea stone & mulch
I never use an chemicals near the play area
And very little on the back yard - play area
Only when rain is expected for several days & my son is in daycare
I pull weeds & use a metal rake to get rid of weeds
Its back in the corner of the yard so I just mulched over existing pea stone w/weed block underneath. I buried bricks as a seperation point between the grass & mulch. The bricks are buried deep enough that the grass is higher. They are fairly far away from the play area
Just a note:
If you dig down you could have a problem with water build-up
But enough mulch shoudl prevent problems
Thanks GBAR. I'll definitely try the mixture from that website. The stuff I use says to keep children and pets away until it's dry, but it's supposed to be fine after that.
I like the idea of the natural ingredients though. Sounds much better.
No weed killer used...
This is the first project I really went into blind. I started digging and laid the sod on lower portion but am concerned with how stable that will be when we put the swing set fixture on it ...wont it be wobbily? I cut the play area in 1/2 and took the area that was high and placed the sod from the high to the low.I picked up a truck load (2 scoops) of playground mulch. I dont want to start to put the muclch down without being sure that this will work doesnt seem like it will. I also got accent timbers and metal spike to drive through for the frame of the area. HOw can I sure up the low side that itll be level with the high side. Will sod from the high side and an extra dose of mulch do the trick or should I use something else? YOur thoughts?
Our swingset was here when we moved in and was very wobbley. We bought a set of swingset anchors, one for each leg of the swingset. Our soil is soft, so I was surprised they worked so well.
I know you're talking about leveling the ground, but ours is pretty level and it still required the anchors.
Putting playground mulch down will only help level it for a short time. It will break down gradually and the ground there will no longer be level.
Is it possible to lower the high side to the level of the low side? It might be easier (?) and you'll have solid ground under all of the swingset legs.
Can you post a picture so we can see what you're working with?
Usually you use a line (string) run (tight) between 2 posts & then put a line level on the string. That will tell you when you are even
Ummmmmm Im kinda not sure how to post a pic if you can walk me through it ill post it. For now picture a 12 X 12 area the right side is higher do to the slope of the yard. I took 1/2 the sod from the right higher side and put it on the lower left side is this wrong?? Should I try to level it a different way? I thought why not use what I have to help level. But now thinking how sturdy will this be with sloped ground dug up sod and mulch? I thought with the steaks would help to stabilize.The high point of the swing set is on the it is a rock climb wall into a deck with tent roof and sliding board. The base to that area is a square like a frame so that would be the area that needs to be level the most. Your thoughts.
Any update?
I am actually going through the same process. The area where the playset will be built is slightly slopped. Want to make sure that I prepare it such that playset will not be wobbly. Could you post an update on what you ended up doing and how it held up?

Paint and humidity??
OK its been raining down here for like a week or more every day. I've got one day free where I can paint my front grille and thats tomorrow. The chances for rain are going down tomorrow but the humidity I know will still be here. I'll be using single stage urethane and I need to know if I have to wait or not. It will be in the shop but if its like this morning, air so thick you can cut it, I'm not sure if I should or not. I know I'll have to extend the flash time between coats. Anything else I need to know or should do??
Single stage urethane is not as big an issue as BC/CC.(with humidity)
Whatever paint your using if it says 10-20 minutes flash per coat than go the 20. Don't wait longer as some iso's will start to *sensitize and certain single stages to long between coats can be a bigger problem than to soon. Your doing a small area so reducer if needed not as critical as if your doing a bigger Job. If the paint calls for reducer slower is better with high humidity.
The thing that will help the most is DON'T wet the floor, in most booths that will raise the humidity level about 10-15 points.
In a garage, even more.
*Iso's cure with moisture and air.
All the humidity is going to do to the urethane is cause the paint to flash faster (dry to touch) but because the moisture is causing the paint to flash so fast this will actually slow the total curing down as it will take longer for the mid and tail solvents to ex-cape.
That is why, even if you can lightly touch the paint in 5 minutes, give it the extra flash time before applying the second coat.
Don't wait, just shoot it.

No. Afrin should not be used for the routine treatment of nasal allergies. Afrin (oxymetazoline) and other over-the-counter nasal decongestant sprays are very effective for treating nasal congestion associated with the common cold, but their use is limited to about three days. If Afrin is used for longer periods of time, such as for the treatment of nasal allergies, it is likely that a person will become dependent on this medicine.

Afrin is not addictive like a narcotic medicine can be, but a person can develop a dependence on Afrin. Chronic use of Afrin can result in the need to use the nasal spray frequently in order to maintain the decongestant effect of the medicine. The efficacy of Afrin then lasts for less and less time, and nasal congestion continues to get worse as the medicine wears off. It is common for a person who has used Afrin for months (or even years) to have to use the nasal spray every few hours just to be able to breathe through their nose.

Afrin dependence is termed rhinitis medicamentosa, and may require the care of a physician in order to overcome the symptoms. It may be possible for a person to slowly wean themselves off of Afrin, although prescription medications may be needed to accomplish this, including nasal steroid sprays or even a short course of oral corticosteroids.

Find out more about the use of OTC medicines for allergies.

Teens driving young passengers at higher risk of dying in crash
(Reuters) - Carrying a passenger younger than 21 increases the risk of a driver aged 16 or 17 dying in a car crash by 44 percent, a U.S. study showed on Tuesday, highlighting risks of young drivers chauffeuring their friends.
The study, by the American Automobile Association, said most U.S. states have passed laws in recent years limiting how many passengers young drivers can carry, and that the number of fatal crashes involving teen drivers has fallen as a result.
But the motor club said in its report that studies on the topic of teens driving with passengers were more than a decade old, so the organization sought to "provide updated estimates."
The report found that drivers aged 16 or 17 increase their risk of dying in a crash by 44 percent when they have one passenger younger than 21 in the car.
The fatality risk for a 16- or 17-year-old driver doubles when he or she is carrying two passengers younger than 21, and quadruples when three or more such passengers are present.
Teen drivers are more at risk with young passengers because they are likely to become distracted, the AAA has said.
Conversely, the study said, when a driver aged 16 or 17 carries a passenger who is 35 or older, the young motorist's risk of death is cut by 62 percent, suggesting the extra pair of eyes from an adult helps guard against collisions.
"We know that carrying young passengers is a huge risk, but it's also a preventable one," Peter Kissinger, president and chief executive officer of AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, said in a statement.
He added that the study's findings should send a clear message to parents not to let their teens travel in a car with other young people. Continued...

Georgia practiced for two and a half hours in full pads as the Bulldogs continue to install their game plan for this weekend's matchup with the Sun Devils in Tempe.
Earlier on Tuesday, the cooler temperatures already were a topic of conversation during Georgia's weekly press conference when Richt was asked if the weather was a concern.
"It is for me," he said. "I'm sure the players will be happy that it is cool. (Director of Sports Medince) Ron Courson has talked to a lot of people about the weather and how to handle it. It takes longer than a day or two to acclimatize to whether it is going into humidity or going into a lack of humidity."
Richt also discussed the challenges Arizona State presents.
"They are returning 39 lettermen," Richt said. "Coach (Dennis) Erickson has won a couple of national championships at Miami, my alma mater. Being on teams that have coached against him in the past, he is a very innovative coach. He is one who does a fantastic job of getting his personnel in the right spots. I was reading their media information and I saw where he has been responsible for stopping streaks of three teams that had 10 or more straight wins. Now all of a sudden we have hit the magic number, 10, and I\'d5m sure they are going to bring that up to their team, and he will have confidence to stop our streak right now.

Lotus has unveiled a super-fast bioethanol powered road car, according to the Business Innovation Insider . They're calling it the Exige 265E and it will get you from a standing start to 60 in 3.88 seconds
Takes me back to my youth and sitting on the bank at the Santa Pod Raceway, but obviously the spec's a bit better than that kind of dragster. It's going to be moot about whether the price, unit to unit is higher for a race car or the Exigie, but at least that will be capable of cornering.
Quite a few cars will run on E85 for a while, the interesting thing (forgive me if I put on another anorak) is that the engine is designed to do so for the life of the car. I wonder what they're using to seal and lubricate?

It will be a tough day at the office for British star Robert Pattinson when he finally resurfaces on Aug. 13 to promote his latest film, Cosmopolis.
The NYC premiere of Cosmopolis will mark the Twilight star's first public appearance since news broke that his longtime girlfriend, Kristen Stewart, had cheated on him with her Snow White director, Rupert Sanders.
"Cosmopolis is a film that Robert is very proud of and looks forward to supporting," his rep tells People in a statement. "No confirmed engagements have been canceled. Any reports to the contrary are inaccurate."
On July 17, paparazzi caught Stewart, 22, and Sanders, 41, kissing in her car and hugging at a park. Sanders is married with children and Stewart has been dating Pattinson, 26, since they met filming the Twilight film franchise. Stewart and Sanders both issued statements apologizing for their behavior.
Pattinson has not publicly commented on the affair, but in the aftermath, reports have swirled that Stewart moved out of the home they shared and that the young actor is holed up at the estate of his Water for Elephants co-star Reese Witherspoon.

Multnomah University prepares students for meaningful careers that serve Jesus whether they're called to traditional ministry or the marketplace.
Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.
The Professional Grounds Management Society has awarded Multnomah Bible College with the Honors Award for excellent grounds in 2003. Multnomah's grounds crew has won the national award five times in the last six years.
This year the awards ceremony will take place in St. Louis, Missouri, but MBC will not have a representative present as in previous years. "It just wasn't cost effective for us to go this year," Ron Casey, grounds supervisor, said.
To win this award, Multnomah must submit pictures of the entire campus for judging and compete against any college and university in the United States, not just smaller schools.
Last year, Mr. Casey attended the awards ceremony in Nashville to accept Multnomah's 2002 Honors Award. "It felt really special," he said. "But I also felt kind of guilty because the students really do most of the work."
The grounds crew employs two full-time workers and 14-15 students.

Hometown: Indianapolis, Ind.
Major: Biology with a Wildlife Ecology Track
Minor: Sustainability Science
How did you come to choose SJC and your major?
My dad was a big part of my choosing SJC. He told me stories about the great professors and people he met during his time as a student. The College's small size also played a part in my decision. When visiting other schools, like Purdue and even a slightly smaller school like Butler, I felt lost on the gigantic campuses. I have been interested in Biology since high school, but it was almost a spur of the moment decision when I chose my major. I had heard quite a few good things about the SJC Biology Department, especially the teachers that are associated with the Wildlife Track.
How large of a role do you think your parents played in your decision to attend SJC?
Like I said previously, I heard all of my dad's stories about how wonderful the small SJC community is. Dad is great at connecting with people, and I could tell that his great connecting and networking skills originated at SJC.
What has your experience at SJC been like? Do you think it was different from your parents' experience?
My experience at SJC has been really amazing. I love how the small class sizes enable professors to communicate with students one-on-one. At SJC, you feel like more than a number, like maybe you would at schools like Purdue or IU; you feel like the professors actually care about you personally. That shines through in the way they talk to you inside and outside of class. I think this totally coincides with my dad's experience at SJC.
How has Core impacted you?
I have always been a huge fan of the Core Program. I believe that it helps instill a sense of curiosity and adventure in the students. It gets them out of their comfort zone by venturing away from the subject material of their major/minor and forces them to write and discuss history, science, and modern issues. The Core Program has always been a breath of fresh air for me; it gives me the chance to step away from Biology and think about the other important aspects of life.
What are your plans for the future?
I am hoping to find a job in the conservation or biology field. I have developed a passion for environmental conservation. My dream job would be to work at a zoo. I am also trying to possibly become a conservation officer or perhaps work for the US Fish and Wildlife Service, or the agricultural field.
Get a jump start on your career and have your resume ready to go at graduation.
Small colleges offer you personal attention; SJC professors do more for you—they serve as mentors.
The Core Program is all about you and your role in the world.
You get more deeply involved at SJC, so you get more meaningful experiences that prepare you for career and life.
Get real-life experience and become an excellent communicator.
