Merthyr Tydfil Housing Association blamed a lack of public support for the scheme for its decision.
It confirmed that hate emails had been received by staff but denied that it had influenced their withdrawal.
Local campaigners in Merthyr Vale had opposed the proposal.
The announcement came on the 38th anniversary of the disaster which claimed the lives of 144 people.
The playground was built in Merthyr Vale - the neighbouring village to Aberfan - using money raised from the people of Coventry following the 1966 landslip which claimed the lives of 116 children and 28 adults.
But after housing was made priority as part of £28m improvements planned for village over the next 10 years, the site was earmarked for potential development.
Parents living near the playground set up an action group to fight the plans and campaigned to safeguard the future of the site as a place for children to play.
Their campaign drew support from across the country.
But it also sparked a sinister element as a series of hate emails were sent to staff at the housing association.
The board of Merthyr Tydfil Housing Association have decided to withdraw from plans to develop the playground which have been under consideration since July.
But they said that the decision had nothing to do with the hate mails that had been received by workers.
"If the community are not supportive of the site to be redeveloped it would not be appropriate for us to proceed," said Karen Dusgate, the chief executive of the housing association.
She said that following a campaign of opposition to the plans, the association had decided to withdraw from considering the Coventry playground site as one for development.
"The board made the decision not to take its involvement with the project any further," she said.
"If there isn't support for that particular site, we as an organisation will not pursue it."
She said that the association was still committed to working with Merthyr Council to provide accommodation in the area but not on that particular site.
The council has insisted that the playground has become a target for vandals, and is only being considered as one of a number of options for development.
Meanwhile, a row has broken out between the director of the Welsh Federation of Housing Associations, Howard John and Naz Malik, the chair of the All-Wales Ethnic Minority Association, AWEMA.
It follows the distribution of an email by Mr Malik encouraging people to sign a petition in opposition to the plans to develop the playground.
Mr John said he was "disappointed" that Mr Malik had sent out the email.
"I am surprised and disappointed that, as someone who works to counter the myths and prejudices that feed race hate programmes, he should lend his name and AWEMA's to promote a campaign against Merthyr Tydfil Housing Association without checking the facts," said Mr John.
"It is misguided and incredibly disappointing."
Mr Malik said that he only sent on the email after reading information provided on the petition but has since received further details about the proposals.
"If the facts were wrong as they were presented on the petition, I would be prepared to withdraw my name," he said.
"But if the playground, paid for with public money, was being demolished to make way for housing - I think that is fundamentally wrong," he added.
The Aberfan community, near Merthyr Tydfil, was devastated on 21 October 1966 after a coal waste tip overlooking the area became unstable.
Tonnes of waste slid down the mountainside toward the village destroying a farm in its path and killing the occupants.
Children at Pantglas Junior School had just returned from singing hymns at their morning assembly.
But the slide enveloped the building, killing 116 children and five of their teachers.
The slurry also engulfed 20 houses before coming to a halt.

Performing the music from their youth, Tejano band Paradize is celebrating 35 years of music-making this year.
Growing up in the Oakland neighborhood, with a career older than most of the upstarts usually featured in the pages of seveneightfive, the members of Paradize can keep you entertained for hours with stories from the road. Featuring vocational highlights (and lowlights) that include performing at the Surf Ballroom (the last venue Richie Valens played before his death), to watching their tour van go up in flames on the way home from a gig, these guerreros de camino just may be one of the last practitioners of the unique and wonderful style of Mexican music known as Tejano.
Join me as the six members of Paradize share a snap shot view of the last three decades in the life of Topeka's own venda del Tejano. And so it begins.
What bands or musicians have influenced you?
Roger Ortega (bass/vocals): I would say Little Joe y La Familia. He's the guy who started it all. He's like the godfather of Tejano music.
Ray Ortega (guitar/lead vocals): The four brothers Arthur, Roger, Steve and myself, we all grew up in the 60's and 70's, so we incorporate a lot of Motown and a lot of rock music . . .but Roger is right, Little Joe is the first one who brought Tejano music to the forefront, with horns and keyboards and drums and percussion. Prior to that, it wasn't that advanced. That's where we picked it up.
Ray Ayala (trumpet/keys): For me, Little Joe definitely, but Maynard Ferguson was a big influence.
You recently released your new CD, Past Due. How is that being received?
Steve Ortega (trumpet/keys/guitar/vocals): We almost sold out of our first batch (375) and that was really by word of mouth . . . and we have 10 or 11 left.
Roger: They have a top ten on Picante radio stations and we were number five on the top ten, which is fantastic.
Arthur Ortega (drums/vocals): Some of the people down in Lubbock TX; they couldn't believe it was a band out of Kansas, everybody thought it was a band out of Texas, 'cause that's the kind of music that grows down there.
What are some of American bands that you cover?
All: Garth Brooks, Kool and the Gang, Earth Wind and Fire, Bryan Adams, Loverboy, Blues Brothers.
Roger: I think that the big diversity is we've been together for so long, and we first started playing for weddings. It was more Mexican weddings, and we played Mexican music. As time went on, interracial marriages made us change our style. If a girl is marrying a white guy and he likes country, of course we provide country. DJs weren't big back then, so we had to learn country.
Are there any performances that particularly stand out in your memory?
Arthur: We played the Wichita Cotillion, we were outside, in the stadium, and we played for about 5000 people.
Roger: Even here in Topeka, I think we're the only Mexican band in Kansas that's ever played at Landon Arena . . . we played for a wedding there.
Do you see any younger players coming up to replace you in this type of music?
Roger: We were the ones to carry on the tradition when they left . . . but we're at an age and there's nobody left.
Tony Vargas (percussionist/vocals): Kids growing up today, they got the interest in it, then all of a sudden, when they hear the new style of music, that catches their ears and they just lose interest in it.
Arthur: Our dad had a group when we were little. He would come home and had some guys from Fort Riley that he knew. They'd come down to the house, and my dad would wake us up like at 10 or 11 o' clock. And we were kids and we'd have our equipment set up downstairs, he'd wake us up, come on I want these guys to hear you play. And we actually started playing in bars with my dad when we're like thirteen, fourteen.
Steve: Our dad was a big influence on us four brothers, he's the one that got us all started when we were young.
Arthur: Whether we wanted to or not, through osmosis, we just absorbed it.

The Rangers had a memo taped to the bulletin board here about what they should wear today and tomorrow at West Point. Every player may have seen it, but not every player necessarily understood it.
So there was Rangers coach Tom Renney standing in front of the board with 19-year-old Russian Artem Anisimov, who presumably speaks as much English as I speak Russian. Renney pointed to the board, started acting out slowly what it meant, then asked Anisimov if he understood.
The Russian nodded blankly. Here's hoping he doesn't show up in a tuxedo.
Meanwhile, some notes from today's double session, with half the players skating in one practice, and the other half skating in the other (As I write this, a third wave of the recently released Hartford players is on the ice):
Afterward Renney was asked if he relished having so many options at his disposal up front, this just a year after having the likes of Jason Ward and Adam Hall to work with). The coach went out of his way to say it was early and that he didn't want to get ahead of himself. Of course, he was smiling and sitting forward in his chair when he said it.
Something to keep in mind as the preseason unfolds….

We think this is an exceptionally useful new tool for park users that allows them to help preserve the beauty of our state parks and be direct stewards of our shared resources.
SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (PRWEB) September 18, 2012
What do you do when you happen upon a washed out trail or graffiti on a picnic bench while hiking in your favorite park? Today the California State Parks Foundation (CSPF) announced the release of its new "Park Observation Program" (POP) so that park users in the Santa Cruz area can report issues they find in state parks. With California's state parks suffering from budget cuts and a $1.3 billion maintenance backlog, the POP program will give park staff extra resources and support in the field.
POP is designed to be an informational and managerial tool for CSPF and the California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR). Information collected from the program will be recorded and shared with the park staff who will, in return, provide feedback to program participants on the outcome of their report.
"The launch of POP marks an exciting new time for visitors who want to lend a helpful hand in California's many parks," said CSPF President Elizabeth Goldstein. "We think this is an exceptionally useful new tool for park users that allows them to help preserve the beauty of our state parks and be direct stewards of our shared resources."
POP allows park visitors to observe maintenance issues within parks and share those observations digitally, either on their smart phone or on CSPF's website by uploading photos and descriptions. Issues like eroded trails, a fallen tree blocking the path, an area that needs mowing, or a building that needs repairs are all observations that should be reported.
POP will start as a pilot program in the Santa Cruz district. Santa Cruz has the largest number of parks of any district in California, with parks ranging from beaches to mountains to historic sites. CSPF is grateful to the staff of the Santa Cruz district for partnering on POP. POP will be expanded throughout California over time, and will amass a valuable store of information about the state of our state parks. This information will help CSPF better understand what needs to be done in state parks to maintain an excellent state park system. Visit calparks.org/monitor for more information.
About CSPF
With its 130,000 members, the California State Parks Foundation is the only independent nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting, enhancing and advocating for California's magnificent state parks. For more information about California's state parks, visit calparks.org.

At long last, the Maud will float home.
After years of trying to persuade Ottawa to allow Norway to reclaim the famed schooner sailed by legendary polar explorer Roald Amundsen – and which is currently resting partially submerged in Nunavut's Cambridge Bay – Norwegians have set their plans to retrieve the ship from its resting place of 82 years.
With a price tag of $5-million to $6-million – or more if necessary – the raising of the 300-tonne vessel that is now scheduled for next summer will be a challenging technical feat, relying on simple physics.
" 'There is no bad luck' Amundsen used to say, 'only good preparations,' " said Jan Wanggaard, manager of the Maud Returns Home project. His team has completed plans to raise the Maud after spending several weeks in late-August at the site conducting final research. "Of course, we're expecting the unexpected as we try to raise the Maud. But I'm confident our plan will work."
The Norwegians are hoping to make the Maud the centrepiece of a new museum built specifically for the ship. Mr. Wanggaard has taken small samples of wood to Norway, so that the experts can determine the best temperature and air-moisture conditions at which the ship must be kept to prevent future disintegration.
Named for Queen Maud of Norway, Norwegians believe the oak-hulled ship played a significant role in the building of the nation and its cultural history.
Launched in 1916, it was designed for Mr. Amundsen's voyage to the North Pole. Mr. Amundsen made his name as the first explorer to reach the South Pole. Although the Maud did not reach the North Pole, it still made a famous foray into the Northwest Passage, and its crew collected scientific data and took meteorological, geophysical and oceanographic measurements.
"It holds a really special place in our hearts," Mr. Wanggaard said. "But we know it also is important to the people in Cambridge Bay, who are used to seeing it every day."
The ship had been left to deteriorate ever since it became lodged in the ice because Cambridge Bay does not have the technical expertise to save it, said the hamlet's mayor Jeannie Ehaloak.
Abandoned by Mr. Amundsen after three failed attempts to reach the North Pole, it was purchased by the Hudson's Bay Company and used as a floating machine shop, warehouse and wireless station. It issued the first regular winter weather reports for Canada's Arctic coast. After developing a leak, it sank at its winter anchorage in Cambridge Bay in 1930.
Currently, only a small area of the ship's starboard side is visible, while the rest sits on an angle on the seabed.
"I think the people accept it means more to Norwegians than to us," Ms. Ehaloak said, who can see the wreck from her home. "After all, we didn't have any plans to raise it. If there was a boat out there that had something important to do with Inuit history, we would want it back, too."
The Hudson's Bay Company sold the ship for $1 in 1990 to Asker, a wealthy seaside suburb of Oslo, where the ship was built, with the expectation that she would be returned to the port. But the permit from the Canadian government expired while funds were being raised, and the Maud remained in her watery grave.
Earlier this year, a private enterprise led by Mr. Wanggaard appealed to the federal government again for permission to retrieve the ship. While the state of Norway isn't involved, the embassy in Ottawa presented an application on behalf of the private enterprise at the Canadian Cultural Property Export Review Board in March.
"The application had to be forwarded by a resident in Canada, so that's how we got involved … to try and place this ship in the historical context of Norway's heritage," said Tobias Svenningsen, minister counsellor at the embassy.
"We have a long tradition of maritime exploration going back to the Viking age, but this was the only boat built for Amundsen and he oversaw its construction," Mr. Svenningsen said.
While the part of the Maud that is exposed to the air all year seems nearly unchanged from pictures taken in the early 1990s, Mr. Wanggaard said the area submerged roughly two metres down is constantly exposed to tearing from the winter ice.
Still, his team has confidence in the structural strength of the Maud because it hasn't yet rotted underwater or been damaged by micro-organisms.
The team of 10, a mix of three divers and other engineering experts, will use air buoyancy to move the Maud, Mr. Wanggaard explained. She will then be guided 6,850 kilometres across the Northwest Passage and Atlantic Ocean by an ice-breaker tug back to the naval museum in Vollen, Norway.
As a token of thanks for the soon-to-be-gone Maud, the team built a cairn – a traditional Norwegian memorial made of rocks – next to the site.
"Definitely I will miss it," said Ms. Ehaloak of the ship, adding, "but the cairn is nice and it was very well received by the community."Report Typo/Error

Advances in Feline Dental Care
View Biography
At heart, cats are still creatures of the wild. As such, they hide their pain, even when it's a toothache. And as anyone who's had a toothache knows, dental pain ranks pretty high on the scream-out-loud scale.
As if suffering through a toothache without being able to do anything about it wasn't bad enough, cats are also uniquely susceptible to what's known as feline odontoclastic resorptive lesions, or FORLS, a very painful type of gum lesion. However, proper dental care can ensure that your cat doesn't have to suffer through dental diseases like FORLs. And it has not only become a lot easier, but also more effective thanks to advances in both preventive care and treatment.
"All cats should be taken to the vet at least once a year to have their teeth professionally checked," says Dan Carmichael, DVM, Dipl. American Veterinary Dental College, and the editor of Recent Advances in Small Animal Dentistry. "Many dental problems are not detectable until the cats are under anesthesia having a good, complete examination."
Many cat owners fear that putting their cat under anesthesia may be more dangerous to their cat's health than letting dental problems go untreated. However, according to Carmichael, the introduction of sevofluorane, used in human pediatric care, as a feline anesthetic has vastly improved safety. "The use of modern anesthesia techniques has reduced the risk of anesthetic in cats, [making it] 99.9 percent safe," he says. "On the other hand, the chances of making the cat feel better, improving their quality of life, is about 100 percent." Carmichael recommends making sure your veterinarian has put these new techniques into practice.
Another innovation in feline dental care is the use of dental X-ray machines - yes, sort of like the one that you see in your own dentist's office, except it's made specially for veterinarians. "Now you can look underneath the gumline," says Jan E. Bellows, DVM, Dipl. AVDC, and author of The Practice of Veterinary Dentistry. "Cats are notorious for having diseases hide underneath the gumline."
Dental diets are also a relatively new phenomenon, with various brands offering kibble that either chemically removes plaque, or provides a mechanical scouring action with "layers" of fiber. Ideally, cat owners should also brush their cat's teeth daily, but as Carmichael reluctantly admits, less than 5 percent of "even my best cream-of-the-crop cat owners" find it possible to get past those fangs they're supposed to be cleaning. "Cats just don't see the humor in [having] their teeth brushed," he says. Carmichael's tips for toothbrushing including starting during kittenhood, using a pet toothpaste, and loading up on the praise and loving, while Bellows recommends using a Q-tip dipped in tuna juice. "They seem to like that," he says. If only we could explain to our cats that toothbrushing now will save them a lot of pain later.

Scotland Yard to reopen Fletcher case
Libya has said it will co-operate with police investigation
Scotland Yard is preparing to resume the hunt for the killers of WPc Yvonne Fletcher, who was shot dead outside the Libyan embassy in London in 1984.
WPc Fletcher was policing a small crowd demonstrating against Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi when she was hit by a bullet.
Witnesses said at the time a man appeared at the window of the embassy and suddenly opened fire. Police believe that the man could have been firing at the demonstrators.
No one charged
On Wednesday the Libyan government accepted "general responsibility" for the killing and promised to cooperate with a police investigation.
No one has ever been charged with the murder of the 25-year-old policewoman. The occupants of the embassy at the time were escorted to Heathrow airport after an 11-day seige of the building and put on a plane back to Libya
Diplomatic relations with Libya were immediately broken off.
This combined with a further deterioration of the political climate between the two countries after Libya was held responsible for the bombing of a plane over Lockerbie, Scotland, made an investigation into the WPc's death impossible.
But with the improvement in the diplomatic climate, detectives expect to take written statements from Libyan officials who were in the embassy at the time of the shooting.
Request for assistance
A joint statement following weeks of negotiation between Britain and Libya stated that Libya would cooperate with detectives from the Metropolitan Police anti-terrorist branch.
Detectives will liaise with the Crown Prosecution Service to produce a letter detailing which lines of inquiry they want to persue. According to the force, the letter will be sent to the Libyans "asking for their assistance in the inquiry."
Senior diplomatic sources in London suggested that if any Libyans were charged with the killing, Libya would find it hard to resist the "logical demand for justice".
According to a report in the Daily Telegraph on Thursday, it is believed detectives have identified the likely floor and window the shot was fired from. They believe fingerprints taken from the embassy will pin-point who was on that floor at the time of the shooting.
The newspaper report says it is believed that police have produced an intelligence picture involving a number of men in the embassy at the time of the shooting.
But it is not yet clear whether officers would fly to Libya to persue their questioning, or whether Libyan officers would be expected to come to London.
"No one can any longer cast doubt on what has happened. We hope that there can now be progress on identifying precisely who was responsible for Yvonne's death," said Queenie Fletcher.
"The path to full justice for Yvonne is now open."
Scotland Yard opened an investigation into the murder in 1997, after a television programme claimed the bullet that killled WPc Fletcher was fired from another building and could have been linked to a CIA plot to kill Col Gadaffi.
The investigation concluded that the shot was fired from the embassy.

Let's TalkZapaday, Verrijn Stuartlaan 7, Rijswijk, Netherlands.
Email: email@example.com
Arshad Ghafur takes up his new role as the US executive for the Bank of America's (BofA) Middle East and North Africa (MENA) unit.
Merrill Lynch, the wealth management division of the American bank, hired the former employee of Japanese financial holding company Nomura Holdings, Inc. on December 6.
Ghafur replaces Phil Southwell, who left BofA following an overhaul of its regional banking operations.
The bank has been making targeted hires to fill internal and external positions in the Gulf Arab region with renewed focus on revenue generation. "There are still some good business opportunities in the region, whether it be the sovereigns or the corporates and the bank wants to leverage that with its network and the size of its balance sheet," a knowledgeable source told Reuters.

Hi Cristian,
Please check this out:
CSCua89091 Bug Details
|the local CA needs to support EKU and other necessary attributes
Currently the local CA server on the ASA doesn't support attributes like the EKU. This enhancement request is to add support for that.
configure cert matching on client profile
And the following:
|DOC: Anyconnect supports specific Extended Key Usage attributes in certs
When using certificates with the anyconnect client if the certificate installed on the ASA doesn't have the EKU attribute set to "server-authentication" then the anyconnect client will reject the ASA's certificate as invalid. Similarly the client's id certificate also needs to be "client-authentication" otherwise the ASA will reject it..
Use an id certificate on the ASA that has an EKU other than "server-authentication".
Use an id certificate on the client that has an EKU other than "client-authentication".
So at this point you would need to configure certificate matching or use a previous version of the AnyConnect client.
Please rate any helpful posts

Ex-union leader 'an industrial warrior'
Chief Court Reporter
Page Tools
Craig Johnston
Picture:Craig Abraham
Former union leader Craig Johnston was an industrial warrior who showed no remorse for two violent workplace invasions, the Court of Appeal heard yesterday.
John McArdle, QC, for the Office of Public Prosecutions, said the suspended sentence given to Johnston, 47, earlier this year was manifestly inadequate.
Johnston, formerly secretary of the Australian Manufacturing Workers Union, was one of 17 unionists who stormed Johnson Tiles at Bayswater and Skilled Engineering at Box Hill in May 2001.
He pleaded guilty to two counts of affray, one of assault and one of criminal damage.
Johnston was sentenced to 12 months' jail, suspended for three years. He was also fined $10,000 and ordered to pay $44,560 compensation for damage at Skilled Engineering.
Mr McArdle said the invasions represented an attempt to pursue an industrial dispute through intimidation. He said employees were terrorised and at Skilled Engineering, computers and other business equipment were damaged.
But Lex Lasry, QC, for Johnston, said he had shown remorse and had not committed any offences since May 2001.
He said the intention had been to occupy the premises, and the events at Skilled Engineering had occurred spontaneously.
Mr Lasry said the fine and compensation amount were substantial.
Justices William Ormiston, John Batt and Alex Chernov reserved their decisions.

Zoo sets attendance record two days this month with 15,389 visitors
The Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium broke its January attendance record two days this month, with 15,389 visitors.
"Normally, we wouldn't see an attendance record-breaking in the winter because of the weather, but January was a mild month," said spokeswoman Tracy Gray. "But when it's cold and not snowing or raining, we do see people come into the zoo."
The record surprised zoo officials, who budgeted for 11,000 visitors at the Highland Park attraction. The total of 15,389 surpassed the zoo's January high of 13,353 set in 2007 when it opened the Water's Edge exhibit.
This month's record follows combined attendance of 39,066 for November and December, the lowest figure since at least 2008 for those months. Last year, the zoo totaled 945,000 visitors.

this is sooooo cool. i would totally use this in the kids' room, for my two boys.
My Collections:
I wish I could unequivocally complement you, but there is not enough information on the Lollipop fold away wall bunk bed system. Where do I get it ? How much does it cost etc. If you would kindly supply that information I would call you a God send for making such a system available. Thanks
Excellent Post! This is truly an amazing bed! To answer huntgold's post, there is a place in the US that you can purchase these: www.resourcefurniture.com They have info on this and about 20 other systems from this manufacturer. There's no pricing on the site because it varies due to various customizable options, but if you give them a call, they will definitely help you figure out exactly what you need. Hope this helps :)
$6,900 with fabric options and no desk
This option is way to expensive for me. Anyone have ideas about something this kool but less expensive? I have been doing some research on fold ups. I can find the mechanisms, but have no idea how to hide them. (Beds for RV's etc. are neat mechanisms and more in my price range, but need to make them look better. Any ideas?
Great ! I am not alone !! I just came upon the "lolipop" set up from above mentioned also...I agree, a little out of my price range too. Callie I live in Vancouver B.C. and I found that "Murphy bed" hardware is here as well..No idea how to try and configure something this great..Wish some others would get into the market..Those Italians have a great design !..then of course buying it from New York...well, we can see why it is so much. Please share any info you have or come across as I would like to know also ..and I will do the same.

Every day there is another story about alcohol violence. The Tom Kelly tragedy was not an isolated incident, but a symptom of a system out of control. Children are drinking younger and drinking to get drunk; in NSW on average, every day in the state four children, some as young as 12, are so blind drunk that someone has to call an ambulance – and that is just the tip of the iceberg.
NSW government websites provide detailed information on the harms of alcohol. They admit alcohol is a massive cause of health, social and law enforcement problems. Yet the government expresses concerns, promises action – and does nothing of substance.
Now we learn that its approach is even more disturbing. In addition to reportedly weakening alcohol advertising guidelines after lobbying from alcohol interests, the government's draft guidelines on alcohol sales and promotion have been diluted to look as though the alcohol industry might have written them.
This needs to be called for what it is – scandalous concessions to alcohol interests. The government seems to have put the interests of an international industry and the state's 15,000 liquor outlets above those of public health and safety, and the wellbeing of children and young people. How else can one interpret decisions to cave in to industry demands, whether on alcohol discounting or exposing children to alcohol promotions.
There is overwhelming evidence on measures that work. We don't need bans, but sensible policies dealing with access, price and promotion, allied to strong public education. In the words of World Health Organisation director-general Margaret Chan, "alcohol policies are needed, desired, entirely feasible, and highly effective".
Instead, we are descending into a culture where alcohol is promoted everywhere. In Wednesday night's State of Origin game, XXXX beer (aka Queensland) beat VB (aka NSW). Cricketer David Warner is sacked from the Test team because of alcohol offences while the entire Australian team – including Warner himself – are little more than mobile billboards for VB.
Dr Chan also recently said, "In the view of WHO, the alcohol industry has no role in the formulation of alcohol policies, which must be protected from distortion by commercial or vested interests". The people of NSW have every right to be outraged by a government that ignores the advice of the World Health Organisation, and panders to alcohol interests instead.
Professor Mike Daube is the director of the McCusker Centre for Action on Alcohol and Youth at Curtin University and co-chairman of the National Alliance for Action on Alcohol.

21 wheels compatibility 2008 and 2010?
I have 21 inch BMW wheels on my 2008 750 and I'm wondering if they will fit on a 2010 750 Li Xdrive. Anyone know. I believe TPMs will need to be swapped, but wondering if the wheels can physically fit.
they should without an issue on the new F01/02. The offsets are a bit larger on the E65/66 wheels so they will probably meet at the fender or may stick out.

GD-Workbench: A System for Prototyping and Testing Graph Drawing Algorithm
Buti, Luciano and Di Battista, Giuseppe and Liotta, Giuseppe and Tassinari, Emanuele and Vargiu, Francesco and Vismara, Luca (1996) GD-Workbench: A System for Prototyping and Testing Graph Drawing Algorithm. In: Symposium on Graph Drawing, GD 1995, September 20-22, 1995, Passau, Germany , pp. 111-122 (Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/BFb0021795).
Full text not available from this repository.
We present a tool for quick prototyping and testing graph drawing algorithms. The user interacts with the system through a diagrammatic interface. Algorithms are visually displayed as directed paths in a graph. The user can specify an algorithm by suitably combining the edges of a path. The implementation exploits the powerful functionalities of Diagram Server and has been experimented both as a research support tool and as a back-end of an industrial application.

" Daily deals and discounts on restaurants, bars, theatre etc. "
I bought voucher 2nd November Fireworks Special: 19: 30 to 23: 15 - Group o f 4 adults. I download the voucher and printed straight way. On 2nd we turned up to get on the board and the boat's stuff (very rude) told us that is wrong boat and probably next one will be ours. So we were waiting 0,5h for next boat which wasn't ours as well. So we came back home. On next day I have checked my email box. (I couldn't do this earlier because my laptop broke) and I saw email from livingsocial - my voucher has been cancelled. Reason: The cancellation affects all the tickets sold including the Family Halloween Cruises on all dates, and the Halloween and Fireworks Buffet Cruise on all dates.They gave us money back..... but We lost time, money, and temper..... NEVER AGAIN.
I paid £119 for a murder mystery weekend for two. Phoned up to be told that of the 11 nights advertised, only one was still available, on a date I couldn't attend. I should point out that at this point there was still over 2 months of availability left on the deal. I contacted Livingsocial, who assured me they would sort it. I contacted them several more times over the next couple of months and was ignored. Finally I was told that as I had been offered a date they would not refund my money. Had I been told this at the start, I could've at least offered the voucher for the one available date to a friend. Appalling customer service, and an uncanny ability to interpret their terms and conditions in a way that suits their purposes, which are never made clear to the consumer.
I would just like to say DO NOT ORDER via this company, I ve had an issue with redemption of an offer for months for 2 orders, (seller wont allow me to book) I have been trying to resolve this via living social and basically been told tough, I am now going to illustrate to others how bad this company are, they deny liability and wont refund my money for the unused vouchers, they are the worst company I have ever dealt with, and as a law student I am taking this matter further. If anyone else has had problems please message me as I am building a portfolio of cases together to bring before watchdog and consumer direct. All I wanted was my money back, and you have turned this into a battle!
The other thing is the time it takes to get a response, 2 weeks on the first count, then I had to threaten them with oft and they took a further 5 days to respond with some answer that was not even relevant to my question, awful customer service, you waste your time raising an issue and they dont even bother to read it,
avoid this company they are not like groupon who value their customers and refund with a no quibble guarantee
Livingsocial is one of the growing band of website's which offer consumers cut price deals through group buying. The company is based in Washington D. C. and offers various local deals accross USA and Europe so that you can pick and choose deals close to where you stay.
LivingSocial is a relatively new brand offering its first daily deal in July 2009 and growing to an amazing 26 million+ email subscribers worldwide now. This does seem huge although I guess the majority of that number are in the USA.
I joined the site a few months ago at the same time as I joined a few other group buying sites, subscribing to the site's email alerts for Glasgow deals and more recently Glasgow family deals as well. Up until now livingsocial is the only one that I have purchased from and I aim to give you my opinion based on my experience so far.
When you sign up to livingsocial.com you will enter your email address and pick your city from the list on the site. Your email address will then be used to send you a link to the daily deal on offer for your city of your choice. These deals will give you hugeley discounted offers for various things like restaurants, beauty treatments, spa days, hotel stays, yoga courses, days out and a whole list of other random things.
If you wish to buy any of the offers then you can login on the livingsocial site using your email address and a password that you will have set up on registration. Once logged in you can then make your purchase using a debit or credit card. Livingsocial works on a voucher scheme, so you can then print out your voucher to take to the retailer to use on the day. From my experience any deals that you purchase have a long expiry date, any deal that I have purchased on livingsocial has had an expiry date of at least 6 months.
When you buy your deal you are then given the chance to send a link of the deal to as many friends as you wish. If three of your friends that you send the link to go on to make a purchase of the deal, then you will be given the deal free of charge at this point. I have never tried this but I believe that if you manage to get three of your friends or family to buy the deal it would be excellent to get yours for free.
To use your deal either print out the voucher from the livingsocial site or if you have an iphone you can access your voucher on the free iphone app and show it to the merchant when you visit.
When you first look at the areas listed on livingsocial.com you are greeted with a huge list, as this includes all the American areas mixed in with everywhere else including the UK cities, all in althabetical order. Once you have chosen your city in the United Kingdom you can then see a list of the UK cities included seperately.
From what I can see this is a list of about 18 cities and that includes London, Cardiff, Brighton, Glasgow, Leeds, Edinburgh, Sheffield, Liverpool and Newcastle listed in no particular order. You will get emails specific to the city of your choice although there is nothing to stop you buying a deal for one of the other cities which is particularly handy if you fancy a night away somewhere.
A relatively new feature on livingsocial is the family edition deals on offer. These family edition offers are again specific to some of the cities and are in addition to the daily deal for each of the cities involved. The name may give it away with the family addition offering, as you have guessed, special deals aimed at families and can include offers like kid's karate lessons, ten pin bowling, family portraits, days out and childrens parties amongst other offers.
At the moment the family edition is not currently available in all of the cities on the site. It is currently showing as available in nine of the eighteen cities listed including Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool and London.
I personally think that the family edition is a great plus for the site and will help anyone with a young family who is looking to save a bit of money while still experiencing days out and other things together.
Starting with the layout and look of the livingsocial site, I have absolutely no complaints with the set up and find it very easy to follow. The site is very well designed, everything is very straightforward. When you log in using your email address and password you will first of all be taken to the current deal for the city of your choice, in my case this is Glasgow.
You can then also choose to see deals on offer for other cities, this feature will show you the six cities closest to your chosen city or you can pick from cities further afield as well.
A nice touch on the livingsocial site, at least on the Glasgow page anyway, is a picture of the city taken from above which appears in the background. Also at the bottom of the page on the Glasgow page is a link called '365 things to do in Glasgow'. As you can probably guess, this updates every day of the year giving you information about a different place in the city to visit.
Getting about the site is very easy, there is a link to be able to see your unused deals with the option to print these deals. Once you have used a deal you click on a green tick icon to say that you have used the deal and if you click this in error you can click another icon to say it is unused. There is also an option that you can click on to view your purchase history so that you can view previous deals that you have bought. If you want to buy an offer you will be asked if you either want to use the card details previously used on the site or if you want to pay with another card.
I feel that the site is very well designed and user friendly.
I have used livingsocial over the last few months and have purchased a few deals during that time, all of which I have been very happy with. I will detail some of the deals that I have purchased to show you the kind of offers and savings which are available on the site.
My first purchase was for a softplay area called Monkey Bizness in the Xscape centre in Braehead. This deal offered entry for two adults and two children to the centre as well as two large pizzas and two side orders to share. The price for this offer on livingsocial was £15 compared to the £35 value of the deal giving a 57% saving. I won't bore you with the details of this as I have reviewed it previously but we went for my daughters fourth birthday and had a great day out making this well worth the £15. This deal had an expiry of twelve months from when I purchased it.
Another purchase that I have made was on an offer available for the Riverboat Casino in Glasgow. This deal offered steak dinner, sides and a glass of wine each for two as well as a £10 fortune bet and a casino magic tuition session with the croupiers. This deal was showing on offer for an amazing £23 compared to the £75 value giving a 69% saving. This deal was a no-brainer for me as we have previously been to the Riverboat Casino for a meal and knew that the quality of the meals served there is really high. I have also enjoyed a couple of nights out there so snapped this offer up. This deal had an expiry of six months again giving you a long time to use the deal.
Finally I will tell you about a third offer that I have purchased from livingsocial. This was a family photo shoot including one 16x12 inch print, four 10x8 inch prints and four 6x4 inch prints for the price of £30 compared to retail price of £396 saving 92%. Doubting the £396 retail price I clicked through to the photographer's website to double check where indeed it states package value to be £396. To me this was excellent value, I guess the photographer hopes you will buy further prints to help boost their income from this. This deal was on offer under the Glasgow families section.
Based on all of the above, I believe that I have had excellent value for money on any deal that I have purchased on livingsocial.
I have been very happy with all the purchases that I have made on livingsocial and have made a big saving on each of them. The deals are easy to use after buying them by simply handing over your voucher or showing your voucher on your iphone to the retailer. I also believe that the site is very user friendly and easy to navigate and based on all of these things I would definitely recommend this site to everyone.

One of the hardest parts of wedding planning is choosing who and how to honor the people closest to you. On the one-hand, there are some great, clearly-defined WIC-approved roles for close friends and family members that can take some of the guesswork out of things, while simultaneously managing the expectations of those closest to you. But once those roles are filled (or if those roles don't feel authentic to you), well there isn't much for deviations from the norm. How do you honor a friend who is close, but isn't in the wedding party? How do you navigate divorced parents who both love you, but don't care much for each other? More complicated still, how do you tell people they aren't being honored in the WIC-approved way they were expecting, but that they are still important (see: walking yourself down the aisle).
As children of blended families, choosing how to honor all the special people in our lives during our wedding was one of the more complicated parts of planning. There were so many people we wanted to honor, people we love dearly and equally, but among whom there are perceived hierarchies that we had to pay close attention to so as to avoid any hurt feelings. Like I said, complicated. In the end, I had both my dads walk me down the aisle (though I regret not giving my stepdad a father-daughter dance); my stepmom (who was uncomfortable taking any of the shine off my mom the day of) helped make our flowers; and any cousin under the age of thirteen got to walk down the aisle because that's the only fun part of a wedding when you're a tween, right?
But making these decisions wasn't easy. Part of that can be attributed to sensitive feelings. But mostly, it was because we didn't have any ideas available to us to draw inspiration from, so a lot of what we were offering felt a little…lackluster. Second rate. When what we really wanted was something that would carry the weight and emotional significance of what we were trying to say to them. So, since APW readers are some of the most creative and thoughtful people on the internet, I want to open up this open thread to your thoughts and ideas on how to make your special people feel special. Who are you honoring and how are you doing it? What has the response been to your alternative honor? Did you have to soothe and hurt feelings after telling someone they weren't getting the honor they thought they were? If we get enough ideas, we'll round up some of our favorites into its own post to keep handy for the future.

Smith praises bowlers as South Africa take series
Page Tools
Captain Graeme Smith praised his bowlers after South Africa wrapped up the cricket Test series with West Indies with one match to go yesterday.
South Africa won the third Test in Barbados by an innings and 86 runs on the fourth day, earning an unassailable 2-0 lead in the four-match series.
"Before the series everyone wanted to know how we were going to take 20 wickets in a match," Smith said.
"We've gone out there and made the pitches do things, we've hit these decks hard.
"You've really got to work hard on these pitches."
South Africa declared their first innings on 9-548 early in the morning session leaving West Indies to score 252 to make the visitors bat again but the home side were dismissed for 166 in the 10th over after tea.
Fast bowler Andre Nel was the pick of the South African bowlers taking a career-best 6-32 in the second innings to complete match figures of 10-88, his first 10-wicket test haul.
"We spent the first three days setting up the match, and this morning the bowlers came out and did the job," Smith added.
"It was outstanding to see the guys run in and bowl like that on a flat wicket."
The win over West Indies was South Africa's first away triumph since they beat Bangladesh in 2002-03.
"I think we've taken some big steps last year and over the last eight or nine months," Smith said.
"We'll certainly celebrate this win, because we've learnt that you can't take a test win or your own form for granted."
Despite his superb figures, Nel refused to take the all of the credit.
"All of us bowled well, and I was lucky to pick up the wickets," Nel said.
The aggressive bowler took the key wickets of Brian Lara and Shivnarine Chanderpaul in consecutive overs after lunch.
"My tail was up after I got Lara and Chanderpaul out. Graeme struggled to get the ball out of my hand after that," he said.
Nel has now dismissed Lara eight times in 12 Test innings.
"I like a challenge, and I try to raise my game to get the top players out," Nel added.
"That's the only way you can improve. I run in and try my best, and I play with my heart."
West Indies captain Chanderpaul was at a loss to explain his team's performance.
"Our bowling hasn't been good, and most of our batsmen haven't been focused," he said.
West Indies coach Bennett King said his team needed all-round improvement.
"It's very hard to win or even be competitive when your top three are making scores like 12 and 17," King said.
"We need to bowl like we did yesterday [on Saturday] and we would love to have a spinner who can take key wickets.
"That's a wish list."
The fourth and final Test starts in St John's, Antigua on Friday.

Question -- does anyone know who the parents of Thomas Palmer of London,
England b. 1583 and d. bef. 1637 in North Farnham Parish, Accomac
County, Colonial Virginia were? Does he fit anywhere into the posted
Palmer family posted by Peter Burrows of Annapolis, MD? His wife was
Joane Jordan born in England and died after 1637 in VA. Any info on her
would be appreciated. Some descendants of this Palmer line ended up in
NC, Union Co., SC; Pike, Spencer & Gibson Counties, IN; Washington, DC;
suburban MD and back to NC (that's me!). My Thomas Palmer had to have
been "landed gentry" or had ample funds upon his arrival in Colonial
Virginia as he served in the House of Burgesses. Thanks.

Notes for SARAH ANN PALMER:
Name is English, originally designated one who had been to Jerusalem, in
fulfillment of a vow or in repentance for sin; to advertise his piety he
might carry a palm branch (that would be then brought to be deposited on
the altar of the Parish church) or a cross made of two short slips or a
leaflet from the palm tree. Visits to the Holy Land or to some sacred
shrine could call for the application of the sobriquet. As it was easy
to acquire the name and reputation by caring a palm branch, some pious
frauds undoubtedly became so name without having made the arduous trip.
She arrived on the Mayflower II in 1629. She died of a fever epidemic
in 1633.
Notes for HENRY ROWLEY:
President Ulysses S. Grant and Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill
descend from this Family. Henry Rowley was probably born in England.
There are a number of conflicting claims as to his origin, but
documentation has not been forthcoming. He was first found in the
opening chapter of the Plymouth Colony Court Records, when he was taxed.
There are a number of references to him as he participated in various
tasks in the colony . His was one of the first marriages recorded, when
he was re-married to Anne Elsdon, 17 October 1633. He was one of the
first to greet the Rev. John Lothrop, when he first arrived in Scituate
after being released from the Tower of London. Lothrop's diary leads
one to believe that Henry Rowley was part of his congregation when
Archbishop Laud's men arrested many at Blackfriars in London. If so,
that may explain why we are unable to determine in what manner he
arrived at Plymouth. Perhaps he was spirited away in the dark of the
night and smuggled aboard a vessel without being recorded as being
there. His genealogy from Henry Rowley, Planter of Plymouth follows:
1. Henry Rowley m. Sarah (Palmer ?)
2. Sarah Rowley m. Jonathan Hatch
3. Joseph Hatch m. Amy Allen
4. Amy Hatch m. Jonathan Delano Jr.
5. Susanna Delano m. Noah Grant Jr.
6. Noah Grant [III] m. Rachel Kelley
7. Jesse Robert Grant m. Hannah Simpson

4. Rebecca Hatch m. Nathaniel Berry
5. Rebecca Berry m. John Beach
6. Mehitable Beach m. Ambrose Hall
7. Ambrose Hall m. Clarissa Willcox
8. Clarissa Hall m. Leonard Jerome
9. Jennie Jerome m. Lord Randolph Churchill
10. Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill. He was an early planter at
Plymouth, Mass., where he was taxed in 1632,
Children of SARAH PALMER and HENRY ROWLEY are:
i. SARAH10 ROWLEY, b. 11 August 1625, England; d. 17 December 1710; m.
JONATHAN HATCH, 11 April 1646, Barnstable, Mass; b. Abt. 7 September
1625, England; d. 10 December 1710, Falmouth, Barnstable County, Ma.

married Jonathan when she was 13 years old and he was about 21.
Notes for JONATHAN HATCH:
Live in West Barnstable, came to Massachusetts Bay Colony from England
in 1634, he lived to be 84 years old. Held title of Captain. Was a
soldier under Miles Standish in expedition against the Narragansetts.

Jeannette junior Legion team improves record
The shaveman cometh.
Marcus Clarkson can finally stop scratching his neck and answering the question, "How old are you?"
He was true to his word to grow a beard until Jeannette Junior Legion won their first game of the 2013 season and, as of last Tuesday's 3-2 win over Police Athletic League, he was equally as true to his word that he would shave as soon as he got the chance.
"I'll never grow facial hair again," said Clarkson. "I didn't realize how much gray was in there. In a matter of a half hour I went from looking 42 to looking 32."
Jeannette let Clarkson off the beard pledge hook thanks in large part to a strong starting pitching performance from Keith Borland who allowed just two runs on two hits over five and two-thirds.
PAL managed to load the bases with nobody out in the bottom of the seventh, but a force out at home, a strike out and a harmless ground ball to first ended the threat and brought Jeannette its first victory of the season.
Then the floodgates opened — at least a bit.
Jeannette finished a rain-shortened game last Wednesday with PAL and overcame a 7-5 deficit to defeat PAL 11-9. Kevin Borland, Keith's fraternal twin brother, went 4-4 and scored four runs in the win.
The streak continued Friday when Jeannette pounded out 13 hits and scored 13 runs in beating Ligonier 13-2. Chris Steffen returned from injury and went 3-3 with five stolen bases.
"We had to stop running Chris once we got the lead or he might have had 10 steals in the game," said Clarkson. "That was the game I was waiting for all year where we could break out and really score some runs."
Jeannette's luck, or more accurately, pitching, ran out last Saturday against Hempfield East. Hempfield scored five runs in the top of the first and cruised to a 13-2 win over Jeannette.
Despite the winning streak coming to an end, Clarkson is proud of the effort and resolve his team showed in the regular season's concluding week of action.
The team's record of 3-13 and a nine-seed in the playoff bracket is not the situation Clarkson hoped for when the season began, but he expects his team to be prepared for its single-elimination game this week against Greensburg.
"We'll be ready to play," said Clarkson. "If our pitching can come through and we can hit the ball like we did last week, we could win a few."
One thing is certain for the future of Jeannette Junior Legion baseball — as long as Marcus Clarkson is the coach, season-long beard growing is not an option.

A web search turns up a 1949 oil-on-canvas called "Rice Planting" that includes women planting rice, reflections, a water buffalo, and a farmhouse. That painting appears to have gone up for auction at Christie's in Hong Kong in 2011.
A Wikipedia entry calls Mr. Amorsolo, who died in 1972, "one of the most important artists in the history of painting in the Philippines." He was particularly good at painting light, the entry says.
The police report is silent as to suspects, leads and how the painting might have been stolen. Police are waiting for more information from the victim, Lt. Joe Wade said.

The Coaltrol has been spectacular so far this year but there is one caveat. In the room that the stove sits in I'd like to get it cooler. Right now the temp is about 77 but the Coaltrol was set for 73. The temp has been on 73 all night long. The issues is that the temps outside are warm and in the day and cool in the evening. Right now I have the Coaltrol set for 4 so the firing rate is still too high to get the room to the temp I want. I'm just set it to 3 to see what happens. The worst case scenario is that I would open a window and once the temps get cooler the min will work fine. But I'm curious if there are users who are running it at 2-3 for Min on their Alsaka stoves or will the fire go out?
Also, what is your max feed rate when temps get really cold?
