I have to confess that I have always thought it was to the great good fortune of the female members of the royal family that they didn't have to face the awful prospect of the throne, unless they were unusually deficient in the brother-department. Just occasionally discrimination can work, inadvertently, to our favour.
For me, it's rather like not being able to go to Mount Athos. Of course, I tend to protest publicly that it is 'men-only', but secretly I feel a twinge of relief that I dont have to go there, or have a view on the place, or join in those dreary conversations about old Father Demetrios... and so forth.
But since getting called twice by radio journalists in the last 24 hours to say something changing the Act of Settlement etc, and about girls getting an equal chance to get to be monarch as men, I've found I have rather stronger views.
For a start, what IS the point with tinkering with the monarchy -- as if a tiny bit of political correctness could bring it up to date? You don't make a medieval/Victorian institution 'fair' by rearranging the deck chairs like this. The whole institution is unfair, like it or lump it. That I think was more or less Alexander Chancellor's view in the paper this morning. Scroll down to the bottom of this link.
In fact, I suspect that in 200 hundred years time, we'll look back to this reform as the beginning of the end of the whole institution -- as its much more serious inequities, its mad fantasies, get seen in even more clear relief, once this little bit of discrimination is removed.
But more to the point, fretting about the monarchy is almost always a political displacement activity.

William and Kate eschew crowns for life with nappies
By Michael Holden
LONDON (Reuters) - They are one of the most famous couples on the planet, one day destined to be Britain's king and queen.
But royal experts say what Prince William and wife Kate really want is as much normality as possible within the confines of being in the spotlight.
The eyes of the world have again turned on Queen Elizabeth's grandson and his wife, officially known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, with the birth of their second child, a girl.
Millions of people across the world tuned in to watch their sumptuous wedding in 2011 while the birth of Prince George two years later provoked an international media frenzy outside a hospital in west London.
But while they regularly grace the front pages of newspapers and magazines, and Kate is considered a fashion icon, commentators say what they really enjoy is having a normal family life away from the cameras.
Rather than crowns and tiaras, William and Kate will be eagerly looking forward to bath time and changing nappies.
"They've always tried to have the minimum amount of staff, they like to look after themselves as much as they can," royal historian Hugo Vickers told Reuters.
"I'm sure that they'll be again very hands on and very much wanting to be as normal a family as possible." Continued...

Hi All
Ive recently aquired a 328i Touring on a 95 M plate and the heater fan doesnt work, Ive had a good look round the forums and a few things are suggested, but I want to disregard the fan first, so my question is how do i get 12 volts to it to see if its dead or not?
Ive pulled out the aircon relay under the bonnet and put a link accross pins 85 and 87.
Any help eliminating the fan, as i cant seem to get any voltage to the blower resister, although it does change state when the fan control is turned on and off?
Much confused of Orpington

Texas Governor Rick Perry blasted the new health care act charging it was the most heinous crime committed upon the American people in our history. He told an audience that "if the health care act is forced upon this country, the young men and women in this audience are the ones who will pay the price." On Tuesday, the first day one could enroll about 2.6 million people decided to allow themselves to become criminals. They enrolled. I find this shocking. Are we to believe that in our beloved America the "government" has the right to force us to become healthy! What next? Obamacare is simply another step on the road to serfdom. First, they forced us to pay for Social Security, then they forced our young men into the armed forces to fight in World War II and Vietnam. I will tell you what is next on the liberal agenda. They will force our workers to accept higher wages even though this will force millionaires to live on salaries of only FIVE MILLION!
Oh, even as Rick spoke Texas officials were negotiating with the Obama administration for $100 million to aid the elderly and disabled. The money comes from the Affordable Care Act!!

• Investment of over £10 million on 26 new coaches
• New features including glass roof and additional leg room
• Enhanced free 4G WiFi and announcement audio-visual system on board
• Euro 6 engines and B30 bio fuel reducing emissions
• Competition launched to win a trip to London for afternoon tea
Oxford Tube yesterday (30 June) revealed that its new fleet of vehicles will have glass roofs and deliver improved passenger comfort.
The £10 million investment is the largest ever investment into new coaches for the Oxford to London route.
To mark the arrival of the first of the fleet of 26 specially designed coaches, Stagecoach has launched a Twitter competition involving a plane that travelled through the skies above Oxford.
The new and improved Oxford Tube vehicles boast a glass roof which allows greater use of natural light. The Astromega double deck coaches will also deliver increased legroom in the majority of seats as well as high-speed 4G WiFii to keep passengers connected while travelling.
On Wednesday 16 July, the first of the 26 new coaches will go into service. This will be shortly followed by the remainder of the new fleet which will travel between Oxford and London, up to every ten minutes, 24 hours a day.
Specially designed and manufactured by Van Hool in Belgium the new coaches offer wifi and 4G free of charge allowing customers to check their email and go online whilst on route to their destination.
In additional, a new, larger luggage rack has also been fitted to the lower deck area to enable passengers to take aboard larger carry-on items and a new automated audio- visual communication system will offer clear arrival and departure information.
The new coaches will have Euro 6 engines which will make them amongst the cleanest vehicles available. They will also run on B30 fuel - a mix of 30 % biofuel and 70 per cent standard diesel.
To promote the new vehicles, a specially commissioned by-plane flew through the skies of Oxford today trailing a message to the people below. The aerial banner that read '#CoachWithAView 16Jul' was designed to encourage the public to take part in a Twitter competition by tweeting the hashtag.
Entrants are being asked to send a tweet which reads '@Oxford_Tube #CoachWithAView' - all tweets will be placed into a draw on 1st July with 20 people winning a pair of tickets for the 'afternoon tea journey' to London on the 16th July with afternoon tea in a London hotel.
Managing Director for the Oxford Tube, Martin Sutton said, "We are delighted to be-able to introduce this brand new, £10million fleet to passengers of the Oxford Tube. The glass roofs and extra leg room will help provide a unique travelling experience whilst the introduction of faster more reliable WiFi facilities will help our customers to pass the time en route to their destinations. The coaches produce fewer emissions and are now one of the greenest ways to travel between Oxford and London".

To All Depository Institutions and Others Concerned in the Second Federal Reserve District:
The following is from a statement by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System:
An educational initiative designed to inform the public of their rights under new disclosure requirements for vehicle leasing has been announced by the Federal Reserve Board. The vehicle leasing disclosures are part of the Board's Regulation M, which governs disclosures for leases to individuals of $25,000 or less.
Central to the government-industry campaign is a brochure to explain new disclosures that are required in all vehicle leasing transactions as of January 1.
The announcement of the new program was made at a special press briefing held by the Board. Represented at the briefing were the Federal Trade Commission, the Office of the Florida Attorney General, the National Automobile Dealers Association, and the Association of Consumer Vehicle Lessors.
The brochure, Keys to Vehicle Leasing, provides consumers with an overview of the most common type of vehicle lease used by the automotive industry, a closed-end lease. Under this type of lease agreement, consumers may return the automobile, pay any end-of-lease costs, and walk away. The brochure compares common facets of both buying and leasing a vehicle so that an individual can make a more informed decision.
Within the text of the brochure, a copy of a closed-end lease is included so that consumers can become more familiar with the document. In addition, the brochure stipulates the leasing terms that a dealer must disclose to the consumer. For example, lessors are required to tell individuals about:
- fees, taxes, and insurance requirements
- standards for wear and use, maintenance responsibilities, and warranties
- early termination charges, security interests, and late payment charges
- the consumers's option to purchase the car.
Other government agencies and organizations taking part in the educational effort are:
American Automobile Manufacturers Association
American Financial Services Association and the AFSA Education Foundation
Arizona Attorney General
Association of International Automobile Manufacturers
Consumer Action
Consumer Bankers Association
Cooperative Extension System
National Vehicle Leasing Association
Copies also may be obtained by contacting the Federal Reserve Board's Publications Services, Mail Stop 127, Washington, D.C. 20551 (202-452-3244), or this Bank's Public Information Department (212-720-6130).

I remember being in a flight where I had to buy plastic-bottled water (lest I die from dehydration on the plane) and when I tasted it, my gosh it was so awful. It tasted like it was expired!! Can water expire?? It was Philippine-bottled but we were coming from Osaka so I'm not sure what the factors were – was it sitting in the warehouse too long? Was it exposed to heat? How long has it been since it was bottled? But the main factor is – it was in a plastic container. And all other factors combined with that will result in [even] water tasting bad.
I think the last time I drank plastic-bottled water was Boracay last year, because we had no choice. I wanted to bring my Aquasana water filter with me but I didn't know how good the water treatment was on the island, or even the pipes. Outside of travel and unfamiliar conditions, I avoid plastic-bottled water like the plague that it is. It tastes awful, it contaminates the water plus it takes so much natural resources (gas and water) to produce it.
Here's a video from the Hidden Costs series showing the failing grade bottled water gets in terms of its effect on our health, environment, economy and society. (Thank you Fatherland for tweeting me the link!)
And Marc's tweet was just in time for World Water Day on March 22! On World Water Day, the world comes together to figure out ways on how to conserve the most precious resource on our planet.
My contribution to conserving water: I filter my own water at home then bring it along with me in my Aquasana or Starbucks glass bottles.
If there was one thing you could do to help conserve water, it would be to stop buying plastic-bottled water. Your children will thank you and so will your taste buds.

Box Score: PDF | HTML
AKRON, Ohio – With a pair of goals, including the game-winner in the 105th minute, senior Eric Stevenson lifted the No. 7 University of Akron men's soccer team to a 2-1 double overtime victory over San Diego State Sunday afternoon at FirstEnergy Stadium – Cub Cadet Field.
With the score knotted at 1-all, freshman Adam Najem sent a corner kick to the near post where Stevenson gathered it, made a turn and sent a needle through the Aztecs' defense and into the back of the net.
It was Stevenson's fifth game-winning goal of his Akron career and the second time he has scored multiple goals in a match. With the win, the Zips improved to 4-2-0 while dropping SDSU to 2-3-0.
For the first time this season, UA scored a goal in the first half thanks to an impressive strike from Stevenson in the 11th minute. The Columbus native gave Akron the 1-0 lead when he took possession of a deflected shot and fired it home from the top of the box.
Unfortunately for the Zips, however, their lead didn't last long as San Diego St. countered with a soft goal to equalize following an Akron turnover deep in their own territory. SDSU's Kody Duff jumped on an ill-advised pass and set up teammate Abraham Villon, who buried it from close range.
After allowing three shots against VCU Friday night, UA allowed just six – including two on frame – to San Diego State Sunday. The Zips out-shot the Aztecs 18-2 after the first half and 26-6 overall. In total, eight different Akron players recorded at least one shot on goal, including three from Stevenson.
Stevenson became UA's first multiple-goal scorer of the season. He last matched the feat with a two-goal effort in the Zips' 5-0 route of Florida Atlantic last October. With the win, Akron improved to 7-0-1 following a loss during the regular season since 2008 and has not dropped consecutive matches in six years.
Akron's four-game homestand continues next Saturday when Bowling Green comes to FirstEnergy Stadium – Cub Cadet Field for the Mid-American Conference opener. The Zips and Falcons will kick off at 1 p.m. ET.
Zips Notebook: UA was forced to play without junior defender and team captain Bryan Gallego, who was scratched due to injury ... at one point during the match, the Zips had a combination of seven players who were either freshmen or sophomores on the field at the same time ... one of those freshmen, Brett Gravatt earned his first career start, getting the nod at right back ... Sunday's match was the first meeting between San Diego State and Akron ... VCU, which edged the Zips 1-0 Friday night, defeated Niagara by the same score to win The University of Akron Tournament ... it was the first home win for Jared Embick as head coach of the Zips.

Next time you find yourself wading through data points, sifting out patterns from the noise, hoping to catch the rare pearl of insight to affix to your business plan, know that you are not alone. Employees worldwide incessantly engage with data, and the companies they work for urgently execute on data-driven strategies in a race for better, faster results. Data pervades the workplace and continues to grow in terms of volume and variety: Research suggests that by 2020, the number of connected devices will more than triple, tens of thousands of data scientist jobs will be in high demand, and the majority of sales decisions will be data-driven.
But using data regularly doesn't mean that employees truly understand it – or are comfortable with data practices. Specific obstacles prevent individuals – at the top and bottom of the organization – from eliciting effective insight. Forrester's Business Technographics® and ConsumerVoices MROC data shows that while individuals rely heavily on data for decision-making, they still grapple with key challenges regarding the accuracy, volume, value, and security of the data they use:

Media Relations Officer, Public Affairs Office
July 12, 2012
In the summer of 1862, two great armies contended for control of Richmond, the Confederate capital. The 60,000 Soldiers of General Joseph Johnston's Army of Northern Virginia stood between Richmond and the 105,000-man Army of the Potomac, commanded by Maj. Gen. George McClellan. The commanders of both armies had been criticized for their perceived lack of aggressiveness. President Lincoln famously wrote:
In March, 1862, after months of prodding, McClellan launched the Peninsula Campaign, which was an attempt to capture Richmond by maneuvering northwest along the Virginia Peninsula. McClellan's early efforts were met with success. Rather than engage in pitched battle against a numerically superior foe, Johnston slowly retreated, agitating both the Confederate president and newspapers. Johnston hoped to find favorable ground from which he could isolate a portion of the enemy forces and negate his numerical superiority, but pressure mounted for him to act.
On May 31, Johnston attacked McClellan at Seven Pines just outside Richmond. His attacks were inconclusive due to poor coordination and because the Confederate movements had been spotted by an aerial reconnaissance balloon, operated by Thaddeus Lowe's Union Army Balloon Corps. Near the end of the fighting, Johnston, directing troops from horseback, was struck twice in the shoulder and chest by shell fragments. Borne from the battlefield, Johnston would survive to later command the Army of Tennessee in the defense of Atlanta.
Although fighting continued on June 1, no further progress was made. That evening, President Jefferson Davis placed Robert E. Lee in command of the Army of Northern Virginia.
Lee devoted the next three weeks to improving the organization of his army and planning an offensive campaign. Lee planned to leave 25,000 men in defense of Richmond while striking at McClellan with the balance of his forces. Lee's army would be reinforced by Maj. Gen. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, who was recalled from the Shenandoah Valley. The arrival of Jackson's army would increase the strength of the Army of Northern Virginia to 92,000 men. Nearly one quarter of these Soldiers were from Georgia.
As time passed without action, Lee suffered the same criticism as his predecessor. He was perceived as timid for not striking McClellan, whose army was within six miles of Richmond. Newspapers derided him as "Granny Lee."
On June 25, perhaps sensing Lee's plans, McClellan attacked. The action at Oak Grove was inconclusive and McClellan's army returned to their former lines.
The next day, Lee erupted with a series of furious assaults that would drive McClellan back and forever change the perception of the Army of Northern Virginia. What followed would be referred to as the Seven Days Battles.
Lee's complex plan for the actions of June 26th went awry. The ensuing Battle of Mechanicsville ended as a tactical victory for the Union as the Confederate forces, unable to coordinate efforts, suffered greater casualties without dislodging the Union. Nevertheless, McClellan was forced to abandon his position due to the arrival of Jackson on his flank. McClellan's army redeployed to positions overlooking Boatswain's Creek and on June 27, Lee attacked again. It was here, at the Battle of Gaines Mill, that Lee launched the largest Confederate charge of the war. More than 50,000 Confederate Soldiers swept forward in a charge that broke the Union's lines and sent the Army retreating across the Chickahominy River. Gaines Mill was the only one of the Seven Days battles that was a clear-cut tactical victory for Lee. McClellan was convinced that he was outmatched and outnumbered, and committed to abandon the Richmond campaign and retreat to his base at Harrison Landing.
Lee was not content to simply let McClellan get away. He struck him at Savage Station on June 29, and again on June 30 at Glendale. These engagements were inconclusive but added to the casualty count of both armies.
By July 1, the entire Army of the Potomac was concentrated on Malvern Hill. The Union line was fortified by 250 cannons. Additional firepower was provided by three Union gunboats on the James River. Lee's battle plan was similar to the one he would employ nearly a year later on the 3rd day of Gettysburg. He would bombard the position with artillery before attempting to seize it. Before his plan could be put in motion, Union artillery seized the initiative, and, in a 90-minute cannonade, put the bulk of Lee's artillery out of action. Confederate divisions charged in waves into the face of withering cannon fire without gaining ground. Lee lost nearly 5,700 men, almost three times McClellan's losses. D. H. Hill, one of Lee's division commanders wrote: "It was not war, it was murder." Union Col. William Averill would recall: "Over 5,000 dead and wounded were on the ground… but enough were alive and moving to give the field a singular crawling effect."
Malvern Hill was the final battle of the Seven Days. Repeatedly, Lee had pitched his army forward in a head-long series of audacious attacks which completely unnerved his opponent. In seven days, Lee's troops would attack in six major engagements. In the course of these attacks, Lee's army of 92,000 would suffer more than 20,000 casualties while inflicting 16,000 casualties on the Union forces. But the true casualty of the Seven Days was General McClellan. Lee knew his opponent was hesitant and took advantage of that weakness by pressuring him with direct action. The gambit worked. McClellan, convinced that he was outnumbered, abandoned the Richmond Campaign. Lee seized the initiative and took the war to Northern Virginia, where he nearly destroyed the Union Army at Second Manassas. Flush with success, Lee advanced into Maryland where he would again face McClellan near the banks of the Antietam River in what was to be the single bloodiest day of the war.
The battles of Second Manassas and Sharpsburg (Antietam) will be the subjects of the August and September articles.

Goodyear Introduces Self-Inflating Tires
The company has introduced tires that remain at optimum pressure all the time through a new 'Air Maintenance Technology' application.
Over the past year, researchers at Goodyear have been developing a new 'Air Maintenance Technology' application that could lead to fuel savings and CO2 reductions, while improving performance and eliminating the need for pumps. The self-inflating technology is making its debut at the 2012 Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung (IAA) Commercial Vehicle Show in Hanover, Germany.
More than 50% of truck and trailer breakdowns involve a tire, so this new technology will benefit commercial vehicle fleet operators. It allows tires to maintain constant, optimum pressure without the use of external pumps, electronics and driver intervention.
It is estimated that for every 10 psi lost in tire inflation, there is a 1% loss in miles per gallon. Also, tires that are under inflated by 10% decrease tread life by 9-16%. Proper tire inflation results in improved fuel economy, prolonged tread life, and optimized tire performance.

Win Natalia Osipova's Signed Pointe Shoes
Would you like to be in with a rare chance of winning a pair of Natalia Osipova's signed pointe shoes ?
With her partner Ivan Vasiliev, Osipova has thrilled audiences on tour with The Mikhailovsky Ballet recently, dancing in Giselle, Don Quixote and Laurencia, when this photograph was taken.
All you need to do to be in with a chance of winning Osipova's pointe shoes, is to contact me. Address your email to me and tell me your name and address, and why you'd like to own these pointe shoes, by the closing date of 5pm GMT Monday 8th April 2013.
All valid entires will be collated and the winner drawn at random after the closing date. The winner will then be contacted by the email address they have supplied and will be asked to provide proof that they bought at least one ticket to one of The Mikhailovsky Ballet's performances during this current London tour. The winner will also be asked to sign an agreement not to sell the pointe shoes – the aim is for them to be treasured possessions, not for anyone to make money from them.
There are still a couple of performances left if you haven't yet booked :
Multiplicity. Forms of Silence and Emptiness, today and tomorrow
Without Words. Nunc Dimittis. Prelude, Sunday 7th (matinee)

Caroline Wozniacki back to winning ways in Luxembourg
Luxembourg: Caroline Wozniacki powered to the Luxembourg Open title as the top seeded Dane defeated Germany`s Annika Beck in straight sets in the final.
Wozniacki, 23, claimed a 6-2, 6-2 victory and the 21st title of her career.
Wozniacki, ranked ninth, who beat this year`s Wimbledon runner-up Sabine Lisicki in the semi-finals, gave 57th-ranked Beck no opening in their first meeting.
It was Wozniacki`s first title since the Kremlin Cup in Moscow in 2012.
Wozniacki, an alternate for the season-ending WTA Championships which starts in Istanbul this week, had seen a slump in form with her best result this season being runner-up in Indian Wells.
"This result in Luxembourg is going to give me a lot of confidence," she said.
Beck said she had learnt a lot in a week that saw her reach her first WTA final, her best previous run was to the semi-finals in Katowice last April.
The 19-year-old said she had "really enjoyed this week full of lessons for the future".

I have a 2009 ESV, I want a stock bumper but with the dual exhaust exits, where can I get one, dealership will only sell parts that came with my truck I.e. vin matching
Thats because the rear bumper your looking for is for a platinum edition escalade. You will need numerous parts for a platinum rear bumper conversion. If you search around on here you will find others that have done it already.
22756664 - ESV Bumper Cover
22756668 - Hitch Cover
22756954 - Bracket for Hitch Cover
11612235 - Stud to hold Hitch Cover on x2
11612236 - Nut to Hold Hitch Cover on x2
You must get this hitch cover, Denali or any other Escalade covers WILL NOT work. You will also need 8 rivets (or bolts) to hold the hitch cover bracket to the bumper. You can buy them at GM or just have your body shop do it. I only used 2 and it seems to be fine.
22756941 - Exhaust Sleeve
22756942 - Exhaust Sleeve
11570498 - Bolt to hold Sleeve to bumper x8
@NathanNjax did you do dual exhaust also?
Other than these parts do I need to order anything else? I have already got this entire list and the bumper is being painted now at my body shop. Do I need any different mounting brackets or anything or do I use the same brackets from my old bumper? Thanks for any information you can give me!
Your old brackets (2) will need to be cut off because they hang right in the way of the exhaust tips
Have new ones welded on when you get the exhaust work done
There are other threads with more details and pics, search this forum.
I cant seem to find any info on these brackets. I have found a picture somewhere but it was only of one and wasn't very good. Where can I find this info or can someone post pics of an installed bumper. Please and thanks!!
Originally Posted by Cadsrfun

It actually has a nice rumble with the stock muffler minus the resonator for some reason. The muffler has about 70K miles on it. When you buy your parts make sure to order the U-nuts and bolts that attach the exhaust tips to the bumper cover. I also mounted the hitch cover bracket to the bumper cover with large aluminum pop rivets. Somehow I ordered screws that were too small in diameter. I believe the factory uses rivets too. That's about it.
One final thing. It has been mentioned before on the bumper conversion but it is important enough to repeat. The stock bumper cover has two brackets that are bolted to the bottom of the bumper cover and is welded to the rear bumper frame (on each side of the hitch cover). Unfortunately, they line up exactly where the exhaust tips go with the new bumper cover. So these need to be cut off the rear bumper frame. The dual exhaust tip bumper cover also needs to be braced like the old one, so new brackets need to be made (I recall the old ones ground off were too short for me to reuse). So I made two brackets out of aluminum flat stock and bent them to fit and drilled a hole in each end, one to bolt to the bottom of the new bumper cover and the other to bolt to the rear bumper frame. This was fine until I tried to drill and tap the rear bumper frame and found out it was hardened and tempered tube steel (You are probably sensing I don't have a welder!). Well I ruined two drill bits but made happen and tapped the holes for the upper bolts of the brackets. I would not recomment this. The metal bumper frame is only about 1/8" to 3/16" thick so you don't get many threads of engagement when you are done. The best way would be to fabricate the brackets out of flat steel and bolt to the bottom of the bumper cover and have the exhaust shop tack these two brackets to the bumper frame at the time you are getting your exhaust modified. I wish I would have done that.
Thanks a million man! The bumper is being painted now and I have all the other parts in my living room. Did you install the bumper yourself? The body shop asked me if I wanted them to do it and I said sure. I took them a lot of pics from the forum of the brackets that have to be made. Hopefully they can pull it off for me. I plan to order the front fascia when the rear is complete.
Look what I spent my day doing! Turned out great!! Will be ordering a Platinum front bumper assy next week!!
Attachment 126345
I cut the resonator off and started about 1.5ft from the muffler with all new pipe. Made a Y at the rear axle and ran to both sleeves. I'll try and get a picture if I can get under it sometime in the near future. Very Simple install! Can't wait to get the front done!
What y'all think about this rear bumper alternative?
I like the exhaust!!! Way better than the rectangles, IMHO.

European countries have given their overall backing to moving the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Britain's FIFA vice-president confirmed today.
Jim Boyce said the 54 UEFA associations meeting in Croatia want FIFA to consult with the game's major stakeholders before making any decision about whether the tournament is moved to the winter or another country altogether.
However, the ongoing row over the staging of the tournament saw former England captain Rio Ferdinand tweet today: "This World Cup comedy show is a farce. Why give it to Qatar if the weather was an issue? When has it not been hot in the desert in June?"
FIFA's executive committee are expected to agree in principle to moving the World Cup to the winter at their meeting in Zurich in October.
Boyce said: "What has come out of this meeting, and what I think is sensible, is an agreement by the UEFA countries that the World Cup cannot be played in Qatar in the summer. Everyone was in agreement.
"But what the 54 countries do not want FIFA to do is to make a decision yet on exactly when it is going to be.
"There is still nine years to go and people feel FIFA should sit down with all the major stakeholders and come up with a solution that would cause the minimum disruption to football.There is plenty of time to do that and hopefully football will be the winner."Reuse content

Jeremiah's Vanishing New York: Fran on NYC
here's another older interview I recently stumbled upon, this one from 2002 with Fran Lebowitz in Mr. Beller's Neighborhood.
FL: As soon as you had a magazine called New York you had all these journalists who had to constantly write about New York. So eventually they would seek out things that they never could have come across on their own–like restaurants and places to go and ways of life–and start to write about them. And they turned these things upside down, so these things became open to the public, hence, boring and unauthentic. And eventually, the entire city became like that. There would be a club that no journalist in a million years would know about. Then one would find out about it, write about it, and ruin it. And then you'd go to another one and keep escaping these journalists. Then people starting opening clubs with an eye to being written about, so it was never a club you wanted to go to.
TB: New York has become one huge press release.
FL: That's why New York is boring.
TB: Which is why you live here.
FL: I live here because when I got here it wasn't boring.
TB: Do you long for the old days?
FL: Absolutely. I wouldn't move here now. I used to work a little bit to pay my little rent. I used to drive a cab until the exact moment my rent was paid and then stop. I never wanted to have any extra money, if it meant having to have any extra work. Now there's now way you can live in Manhattan and drive a cab. To move to Manhattan, you have to have a rich father. The kids who come here are either rich or are moving here to make money in business, which is a dull kind of kid anyway.
Jeremiah's Vanishing New York: Sante's Lost City
The following comes from a 2004 interview with Luc Sante in The Believer. I recently stumbled upon it and thought I'd share some excerpts.
"In the 1970s New York City was not a part of the United States at all. It was an offshore interzone with no shopping malls, few major chains, no golf courses, no subdivisions. We thought of the place as a free city, where exiles and lamsters and refugees found shelter. Downtown we were proud of this, naturally."
–Luc Sante, from "My Lost City"
photo: Chronogram
THE BELIEVER: In the essay "My Lost City," you describe 1970s New York as a place of danger, authenticity, personality, and color—a city for outcasts.
LUC SANTE: All I know about 1970s New York City is that it's where I grew up, and you always have an umbilical connection to the time and place of your growing up. It was cheap, didn't have too many people in it, you could go to the movies or whatever on the spur of the moment, you could get by without working too much and especially without involving yourself in the corporate world. It was a wild, one-in-a-million conjunction of circumstances, a sort of black pearl of world history, when New York City was at one and the same time both the apex of Western culture and the armpit of the Western world. So you had to deal with junkies now and then—I would far rather deal with junkies than with lawyers or developers.
BLVR: How can New York regain its personality? Or are we getting the city we deserve right now?
LS: The city we have now is the one we deserve, the coagulation of money. I'm very pissed off because I love cities and yearn for them, and I can't live in them now—and not just because I can't afford to. My ideal city is more like the city (New York and Paris come to mind, but it sort of applies to all) that existed up to and including the 1930s, when different classes lived all together in the same neighborhoods, and most businesses of any sort were mom-and-pop, and people and things had a local identity. The sort of city where—I've just been reading Richard Cobb on 1930s Paris—a burglar, a banker, a taxi-driver, an academician, a modiste, and a pushcart vendor might all fetch up together in a corner banquette at the end of the night. That won't happen again unless we have some major, catastrophic shakeup, like war (at home) or depression, and do we want either of those?

The Brooklyn Paper: BREAKING: Grimaldi's owner says eviction talk is pie in the sky!
Grimaldi's owner Frank Ciolli lashed out at reports that his beloved, tourist-filled, Sinatra-loving pizzeria is about to be evicted from its spot under the Brooklyn Bridge.
The Wall Street Journal first reported that the DUMBO coal-burning pizza staple faces eviction at a court hearing on Friday over $44,000 in back rent.
But Ciolli told us that the money's all there — and that his Florida-based landlord actually refused to accept his August rent payment and a security deposit on a new lease because she's mad that he got a few Department of Sanitation violations earlier this year.
"I don't owe her any rent [as the Wall Street Journal reported]," Ciolli said. "We're waiting until Friday to give the landlady whatever the total is. We're happy to serve Brooklyn and we're not going anywhere."
At the hearing, the owner of the Grimaldi's building, Dorothy Waxman, is expected to ask a Supreme Court judge to evict the pizza hub regardless of whether Ciolli pays.
This isn't the first time that the Ciolli family has faced a shutdown for not paying up. In 2008, the taxman closed the shop down for a few hours after Ciolli fell behind in as much as $165,000 of unpaid taxes. That dispute was settled within a day, and Ciolli said that he expects the same thing on Friday.
"What are they gonna do, move in another pizzeria?" Ciolli said. "It's not gonna be Grimaldi's. They're gonna have an empty store. My rent's gone from $3,000 to $8,000 a month since we opened [in 1990], and yet my pies are the same price. Where else ya gonna get that?"

In the wake of the latest case of contaminated food forcing the recall of more than half a billion eggs U.S. Rep. Frank Pallone on Friday joined with an array of food scientists and consumer advocates in New Jersey to press for action on the Food Safety Enhancement Act. Approved by the House more than a year ago, the congressional plan to protect the America food supply from contaminants is still awaiting action by the U.S. Senate.
"The Salmonella outbreak is more evidence of the vulnerability of the food supply to contamination," said Pallone, a key author of the bill. "It should also serve as a catalyst for action by the Senate. The need for improved safety standards and procedures assumes greater urgency in light of the Salmonella-tainted eggs and subsequent recall."
Each year, 76 million people get sick from unsafe food, 325,000 people are hospitalized and 5,000 people die. The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates a financial cost of food borne illnesses of $6.9 billion annually.
In the past few years, the food industry has been seriously scarred by the spread of E. coli, Salmonella and melamine in mainstay items of the food supply, outbreaks that caused widespread illness and deaths. During a recent public hearing, Pallone heard about a three-year-old who suffered kidney failure from contaminated spinach.
Joining with Pallone were Professor Donald Schaffner, Director of the Center for Advanced Food Technology at Rutgers University, Surur Fatima Sajanlal, of NJ PIRG, Jim Walsh, from Food & Water Watch, and Michael Hansen, the Senior Staff Scientist with Consumers Union.
"We must do more to improve the food safety system, we have to do a better job of keeping our food products free of contamination, said Pallone. "We get more food from the farm to the dinner table faster and cheaper than ever. But when the safety system comes up short, consumers are exposed to illness and even death. We have the knowledge and ability to make the food system safer, this bill will provide the resources and the standards to get the job done."
The initiative would emphasize prevention and give producers more responsibility to keep food clean at the source, Pallone noted.
The plan would create an updated registry of food facilities, require safety plans, add food inspectors, increase inspections and dramatically improve "traceability," allowing for the quick identification of the source of any contamination. It would also bring more accountability and oversight to imported foods that often originate in countries with less stringent standards.
It would be funded by the food industry.
"It is in everyone's interest - especially the food industry - to maintain confidence in the Nation's food supply," Pallone said. "Parents need to know the food they feed their families is safe and the food industry needs to have the public's trust."

Confession to make here: I'm an unrepentant people-watcher. It's just what I do. Over the years, I've gotten better about not getting caught at it, but I do enjoy noticing the people around me and what they are up to.
Anyway. On Friday, my family and I were at the Packwood Flea Market, a twice-yearly sale that pretty much fills up this tiny little mountain town 'til it is bulging at the seams. The vendors are an even mix of people getting rid of 'junk' and people with a second weekend business selling handcrafts or collectibles, and the food booths are incredible. It's always a fun outing.
We were walking down one of the aisles when I saw a man and a woman that simply had to be armed. Here's how I know:
The woman was carrying a Maxpedition Versipack slung over one shoulder. It was clearly heavy.
The man was wearing a tactical flashlight on his belt, and a pocket knife clip was visible on the outside of two different pockets.
The woman reached into her backpack to get her wallet, ignoring the Versipack she was wearing.
The man was wearing a loose tee shirt that was just a little oversized for his frame, and which hung two or three inches below his belt line.
And both of them had a habit of looking at an item, then raising their heads to glance across the crowd around them before moving on.
Nope, didn't spot "for certain" where either one was carrying, but would lay down good money that she had a gun in the Versipack and he had one just behind his right hip.

It seems to me that I am more aware of people around me that probably are carrying because I pick up on many of the same or similar acts that I know that I have. We seem to notice acts that we all have in common and recognize the probable reason for those acts. IMHO.

Once you begin to carry it is much easier to identify others. You begin notice oddities in the dress of others that you notice when dressing yourself.
Great observation skills!
I know sometimes, since I have a duty weapon, I often when standing will make sure my arm is completely down my gun. I guess force of habit.

We may notice others who are carrying but I guarantee the sheep will never notice the sheepdog or sadly even the wolf amongst the flock.
I dream of a day when my children will live in a world without the shackles of cause and effect. - S. Colbert
It is my experience from carrying, and the work I do, most people aren't very aware of their surroundings or what others are doing, I certainly wasn't until I started carrying.
I noticed a Guy and He was packing on the right side. His shirt was a little tight and I could see the bulge. I went and changed My shirt and went back and looked in the mirror and I would not even know He was packing. He seemed like a nice Guy too.
Your SA skills are MUCH higher than most. Most people would not have thought twice about the Versipack and no one notices a guy in a t-shirt. Remember, most of us who carry try to be "gray men," invisible to the general public and the wolves that are out there. (not all of us...I am pretty gregarious personally)
The thing is, though, that "gray men/women" can usually spot each other with a little time. Not always, but enough to make the difference.

I shot IDPA today and noticed that 90% of the people there wore the Shoot me first vest as a cover garment. I wore my black knit shirt over a blue t-shirt. I looked like I didn't belong there because I was not dressed like the others. Others will notice the vest but a fat silver haired guy in a black shirt is overlooked, except by Pax! Her observational skills are excellent. Like anyone in a specialty, a practitioner of of that specialty can spot another. Insert something about birds of a feather here. My point, besides the one that my head makes, is if your not spotting other CCW's is your SA good enough, and if other CCWer's can make you, is your conceal method good enough? Mine is so good I can't find my own weapon!!!!

My son and I have a new game we started playing, it's called "Guess who's carrying?" I try and make it "fun" for him to really start building a SA. Haven't seen anything yet, but I noticed something VERY off with a patron at Taco Bell today. And as we got in the car, he said "Mom, I think that lady was depressed or something, she wasn't holding her head right and her eyes were sad." I gave him major kudos on his observation skills, but told him it looked more to me like she was on drugs than sad. (Eyes glazed and unfocused, head and neck lolling around.)
Haven't spotted anyone CCing yet though, gonna have to try harder now...

The only time I think someone is carrying is when I see them wearing camouflage or 511 branded tactical wear. Its almost like a red flag to tell everyone you're carrying.
I have to wear business casual through the week, so I can't wear tactical jackets anyway....

Published: April 8, 2013 at 10:53 PMTraveling to the various hotels around Disney World is one of my favourite activities. This can give you ideas of where to stay and eat for future trips. It's also fun to experience the various transportation modes around Magic Kingdom. I love riding the boats to and from the Wilderness Resort to MK.
Published: April 9, 2013 at 5:41 AMWhen staying at a Disney property, we enjoy resort-hopping for sight-seeing and dining options as well as renting the boats on the various lagoons.
At Universal, we like to take some time away from the parks in order to see a movie or walk around CityWalk. Exploring the different resorts or strolling along the water taxi trail is also relaxing and fun to do when it's not scorching hot outside!
Published: April 9, 2013 at 6:37 AMOne of my favorite things to do at Universal is to take the water taxis to other resorts! The Hard Rock Hotel has a large selection of rock n' roll artifacts, and is great to check out. It's also fun to go eat at one of the resorts for another point of view. Finally, all the resorts are great for taking pictures. Feel like going to Italy? Try the Portofino! Maybe the Caribbean? Go to Royal Pacific for some great photo ops.

Also we usually eat at at least one restaurant at one of the Disney Hotels. One of the many things that I love about WDW is that there is so much to do, other then the theme parks and water parks.
Published: April 9, 2013 at 10:10 AMI agree with Brandon- I love going round various resorts to get a feel for which I might like to stay in. I have been known to abandon a day at EPCOT for a few hours so tha tI can visit the hotels on the Boardwalk. I've always found the staff really helpful and more than happy to show me around

524TD prices
What do you think the going prices for a 524td are? I found two really nice ones, one $5,700 with 150k and another with almost 230k miles and he's asking $7,500. Both are really nice cars, but i just done see them going over $3k.
Wow - if I knew that 10 years ago I would not have given mine away! Even with close to 300K highway miles on the odo it ran like a champ with perfect interior and straight, rust free body! Boy do I miss that car.
I find it cery expensive for such old diesel...
528i or 535i are way better to drive, more reliable, and maybe cheaper. Why don(t you get a 528i? It is for me the best version, because of its price. We can find some 528i very cool for 5000, so for 5000$ you should find very, very good looking, in good condition 528! If it's a weej end car, the consuption does not really matter, isn't?
524 td
If you're still interested, I have one I need to get rid of. I have too many cars and my BMW energy (and money) is going into an E32. What can I say.
I would like $1800. It is in decent shape given it has 330,000 on the odometer. A/C needs charging, cruise control quit working awhile ago and brake booster needs replacing. Recently a new starter, battery, water pump and in tank fuel pump. New paint about 5 years ago in decent condition.

Back in April, I traded in my 2010 Genesis Coupe for a 2012 Kia Rio Hatchback EX. More room, better gas mileage, more features I'll actually use, more comfortable seats, lower payment.
I got it on 4/4/12. The Genesis (5 days from being 3 years old had almost 72k miles on it). Here's what it looked like after I took the pinstripe off.
This started on may 1, 2012:
Tint: 30% all around, 40% on the windshield.
Then I rolled it over to Discount Tire where a friend of mine works to pick up my new wheels and tires. Drag DR-23 (Spoon 388/Rota Slipstream replicas) in 16x7, flat black with 205/50/16 Nitto Neo Gens.
Then over to Jasper's house to vinyl wrap the roof.
Wrapped (including the rear hatch spoiler, to the body line)

I think that we shouldn't send out products without receiving payment first. I have done business online for YEARS and have run into people lying about not receiving packages (*cough* I had delivery confirmation on it) , sent payment out but never got it, books or item was damaged but will not send it back they just want a refund, etc.
Here is some advice to sellers:
1. DO NOT , under any circumstances, send out a product before payment.
2. Put a delivery confirmation on it , if at all possible. I will even add a delivery confirmation into the shipping costs and slip it in. I won't hardly send any packages anymore without this on it.
3. Always offer insurance. If they buyer does not want insurance it is not your fault if the item gets lost or damaged. Your fault- not theirs!
4. Package Your Items CORRECTLY! Don't send something small in a huge box or don't send a boat load of stuff that isn't quite stuffing in the box very good. This results in broke/damaged items and packages breaking open and items being lost.
5. If the person doesn't reply in 48 hours on if they are sure they want it and how they are sending payment.. let the item go to the next person who responds!
1. Please be courteous and email us sellers back when you email about a product! It is very rude to ask about something and say you are interested in purchasing and never reply.
2. Always ASK for a delivery confirmation or insurance. Some buyers offer, but I would. If the seller has sent the package they will be able ot send you this number and show it as being sent.
3. Please send Payments ON TIME! Don't wait 5 weeks to send a payment.
4. Don't send cash in the mail anymore. Its unwise and many post offices are having problems with cash being stolen. We live in a one horse town and have this problem!
Hope this helps!!

Article - Office of College Advancement
Locally, deaf support ouster at Gallaudet
By Linh Tat, Staff writer.
Thursday, November 2, 2006—Reprinted from Tri-Valley Herald.
Fremont—Many in the deaf community, both in the Tri-City area and nationally, are celebrating this week's decision by Gallaudet University trustees to revoke appointment of a controversial figure as the institution's next president.
For five months, students, staff and alumni of the Washington, D.C.-based Gallaudet—regarded as the world's leading liberal arts university for the deaf—rallied throughout the country in protest of Jane Fernandes.
Hired as the university's provost six years ago, Fernandes was supported by retiring President I. King Jordan, but her critics called her an ineffective leader.
When she refused to give in to protesters' demands that she resign, the trustees voted Sunday to revoke her appointment as president-designate. Fernandes was to assume the presidency Jan. 1.
"Although undoubtedly there will be some … who have differing views on the meaning of this decision, we believe that it is a necessity at this point. … It has certainly been a difficult and trying time for our Gallaudet community. Now is the time for healing," the board said in a statement.
Members of the local deaf community said this week that board members finally heard their cries.
During the past several months, various newspapers have reported that some detractors believed Fernandes was "not deaf enough"—that she can speak and read lips, and that she did not learn American Sign Language until she was in her 20s. But that was never the real issue, Gallaudet alumni in the Tri-City area said.
"The issue was really about her leadership ability, and then things escalated and grew, bringing the other facets into the protest," Sandra Ammons, an associate professor in the American Sign Language department at Ohlone College, said via a translator.
Ammons and other alumni criticized the search process as being flawed.
Gallaudet needs a president, hearing or not, who understands the deaf culture and the need to promote American Sign Language, they said. Deaf people consider themselves bilingual, with American Sign Language as their first language and English as their second language.
It's important that the university lead the way in promoting that viewpoint, they said.
"(Gallaudet is) more than just a school. (It's) the center of deaf culture," said Clark Brooke, the middle school principal at California School for the Deaf in Fremont.
Fernandes earlier received a no-confidence vote from the faculty.
"I love Gallaudet University and I believe I could have made a significant contribution to its future," Fernandes said in a statement this week. "I trust that we all want a stronger, better, more inclusive Gallaudet where ASL and deaf culture have been and always will be at the core of academic and community life."
The ouster of Fernandes is not the first time that students have championed successfully for a voice in the selection of their school's leader.
Jordan, the outgoing president, became the university's first deaf president in 1988 after students protested the board's decision to hire another hearing person for the job.
Ammons, whose daughter is a sophomore at Gallaudet, said she would like the next president to come from a deaf background as well.
"It's important for Gallaudet students that they can see a president who is deaf and is an effective leader," she said. "(He or she) can be a walking example."
Tom Holcomb, a professor in the Center for Deaf Studies and Special Services at Ohlone College who graduated from Gallaudet and whose two daughters are students there, said he hopes the university will follow a more open and inclusive search process for the next president.
"It's the beginning of positive energy for the betterment of Gallaudet," he said.
"The eyes of the deaf community all around the world are focused on Gallaudet."

32 Lashed Pack out?
Im in a bit of a dilema, I dont live near any boardshops to try on boots. I wear a size 9.5 sneaker, and was not sure what size boot to buy. I would prefer to try them on but closest place is 3 hrs away. I am looking at the 32 Lashed because thats what I used to ride when I had smaller foot. I was originally going to get the 10s but heard they pack out rather quickly, so do you think id be better off with a 9.5?
measure your foot properly (ghetto measure with a wall and a ruler/tape/whatever) in cm
25 = 7
26 = 8
27 = 9
28 = 10
Is the boot you want on this site?
thirtytwo - Shoes, Bags, Watches - Zappos.com - Free Shipping
Zappos provides free shipping both ways which means you can try them out for free without having to drive anywhere. Just walk around on your carpet and don't get em dirty when you're tryin em on.
In my experience with 32, go a half size larger because of the amount of flex your foot can do generally in any boot. If you were 9.5 sneaks, get size 10 boots

Nikon Small World 2012 PHOTOMICROGRAPHY COMPETITION, IMAGE OF DISTINCTION, Rogelio Moreno Gill
Euplotes belongs to the class Nassophorea in the phylum Ciliophora; the ciliates, of which there are approximately 8,000 species, are generally considered to be the most evolved and complex of the protozoans. The cell surface is covered with hundreds of hairlike structures called cilia that are arranged in rows. The cilia beat in synchronized waves, propelling the organism through the water. Most ciliates possess an oral cavity, or cytostome, through which food enters the cell. In some ciliates, the cilia around the cytostome have become modified into sheets called membranelles, which create a feeding current and act as a sieve to trap food particles. Ciliates possess two types of nuclei, a large nucleus, or macronucleus, and one or more small nuclei, or micronuclei. Reproduction is primarily asexual, by binary fission, but sexual reproduction also occurs by conjugation, a process by which two organisms exchange nuclear material.

The Pope's committee on evangelization will be holding a meeting October 15-16 entitled, "New Evangelizers for the New Evangelization." They have asked us to pray for them in our liturgies during the Prayers of the Faithful. Sample prayers were sent and appear below:
. Let us pray for the Church throughout the world to be animated by a renewed missionary spirit which will help it to advance on the way of the New Evangelization.
. Let us pray for the new Evangelizers who are meeting in Rome with the Holy Father, that strengthened by this experience, they may be faithful witnesses to Christ and the Gospel in today's world.
