Experience Amazing Benefits
Premium grade essential oils are extremely concentrated particularly when they have been derived through distillation, which is the most effective method of extraction. Because essential oils are so highly concentrated, most of them are at least 50 times more potent than the herbs or plants they came from. When herbs are cut & dehydrated, they can lose as much as 90% of the healthy nutrients as well as the vast majority of the vital oxygen molecules. Not so with essential oils, which are many times more potent than dried herbs.
Most of the essential oils you find in health food stores are so low in quality and full of adulterations, you would be shocked. Even essential oils labeled as "PURE" are not what they seem.
There is a very big difference between the low quality essential oils and authentic premium grade essential oils.

Taxes and tax rates were once again center stage in Washington this past week. The reason for the ongoing debate is the question of whether the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts should be extended for everyone, or just for certain Americans. Some in our nation's capital believe that we can tax our way out of the massive debt and deficits we have been racking up for the past three years.
Those same people think that by letting the tax cuts expire for those making more than $250,000 a year, we tax our way out of our budget crisis. But what should not be forgotten in this discussion is who this tax increase will hit.
According to the National Federation of Independent Business, "75 percent of small businesses are organized as pass-through entities meaning they pay taxes on their business income at the individual rate." The Joint Committee on Taxation found that increasing the tax rates as suggested would mean higher taxes on 53 percent of business income reported on individual returns.
We have experienced an unemployment rate over 8 percent for 41 straight months now. Our nation has not endured an unemployment rate that high for this long since the Great Depression. With that in mind, it begs the question: how will raising taxes on small businesses create new jobs? We would be punishing the very people we need to pull us out of this long economic downturn. It just does not make sense. That is why I remain a supporter of keeping the rates at the current level for everyone.
Also this week, Democratic Congressman Keith Ellison from Minnesota and I introduced a common sense piece of legislation dealing with a very simple way for many Americans to build or rebuild their credit ratings.
Making late payments can do significant damage to your credit, as it is one of the most heavily weighed factors in determining your score. Currently, utility and telecom companies -- like cell phone providers -- only report delinquent payments to the three major credit rating agencies.
Our legislation would allow those same companies to report on-time payments. If you can be punished for missing a payment, why shouldn't you able to build credit by paying on time? This is a great way for those with less than perfect credit or no credit at all to begin to build a positive credit history. It would also serve as a tool for young Americans to begin building credit without having to rely on high-cost options like credit cards.
One or two financial bumps in the road shouldn't leave hard working Americans struggling to recover an otherwise good credit history. And those who have a more checkered payment history should be able to use all of the tools available to them to dig out of a credit rating hole. Likewise, encouraging the next generation of American consumers to use lower-cost credit building options will put them on a better, more stable financial footing later in life when it comes time to purchase a new car or buy a house.
This legislation is a prime example of a Democrat and Republican from different areas of the country coming together to develop legislation that will be beneficial for millions of Americans. Credit reporting should work for consumers, not just against them. Congressman Ellison and I will push for its passage.
I will keep you informed as Congress makes progress on these important matters. Please feel free to share your thoughts with me by following me on Facebook (facebook.com/repjimrenacci) and Twitter (twitter.com/repjimrenacci). If you have questions or comments regarding my work in Congress, please do not hesitate to contact my Canton office at (330) 489-4414 or my Washington office at (202) 225-3876.
There have been no actual cuts.Only cuts to future budgets which will be changed.Do you really think the military will be cut at the end of the year dman?Not a chance.No cuts have been or will be made,that IS the problem.Or did you not see Hillary telling the Afghans that the money spent on the war would continue to be sent to them?
The whole idea of taxing business is dumb. They just pass it on to the consumer. Instead playing political football and having the current unfair tax code, why not implement the fair tax. http://www.fairtax.org
Renacci also lies about the Dems wanting to only tax their way out of debt. The Dems want to cut expenses too. Obama offered a plan to cut the debt by $4 trillion, but the GOP rejected that.
Nice job by Renacci to twist the facts and make it look like small businesses are going to pay a lot more tax.
In one paragraph he mentions that 53% of business INCOME would pay more tax. He left out what percent of that is from mega companies who are making millions in profit. It's a very large percent.
But in the next paragraph he mentions that small businesses would pay more tax. If they make more than $250k profit I hardly call them small businesses. But even if they made say $300k they would only be paying $2k more tax, which is still $21,500 less than before the Bush tax cuts.
A $2k tax increase is not going to prevent that company from hiring. That is only 0.6% of his total net income. Since he is smart enough to make $300k profit, he is also smart enough to know that not hiring just because of a $2k tax increase is dumb.
First buzzy,Renacci was just stating fact in the first four paragraphs.After that the focus is on credit scores,or did you not read that far?Obama said today that rehashing the same old thing wont win elections so I was wondering when he,and you,were planning on getting to the truth?Don't worry I don't expect a thoughtful response, just more hate speech.

HESPERIA — Nearly 200 tickets were issued by local San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department deputies during a distracted driving enforcement over the span of two weeks.
Deputies wrote 194 tickets to distracted drivers, sheriff's officials said. The enforcement was part of an ongoing crackdown where undercover units are being used to spot people using cellphones in Hesperia.
"Through enforcement efforts like these, we hope to educate our citizens on the dangers of driving distracted and lower the amount of traffic collisions in our city," sheriff's officials said in a statement. "Put away or turn off the distractions. There are several phone applications that can assist you with not using your phone while driving and help you arrive alive.
"With just a click of a button before you start to drive some applications will respond to your incoming text and cell calls with a message saying you are driving and will get back to them. Others will automatically enter this mode when your vehicle hits a certain mph."
Statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration show the amount of injuries or deaths caused by distracted driving is "increasing at alarming rates." The NHTSA reported 3,179 deaths and 431,000 injury collisions associated with distracted driving nationwide. Cellphone usage or texting while driving appears to be one of the top contributors, authorities said.
Sheriff's officials say nationwide efforts to educate about drinking and driving have slowly driven down the number of DUI deaths of the years and hope to see similar results with distracted driving education efforts.
Authorities remind motorists that distracted driving and illegal cellphone usage laws apply while stopped at a red lights or stop sign.

Does anyone else have other brands I could try? I tried looking for some 15 RLBL to try, but no luck today.

Traditionally (or at least in my limited experience) mergesort algorithms proceed as depicted in this diagram http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/dbpp/text/node127.html the difference is that singles are derived by repeatedly halving the input rather than immediately slicing into singles a la HTDP (so my initial description of the process as being the reverse is somewhat off). The point of going to the effort of writing a mergesort is to achieve an O n log n (now prudence demands that I point out that Analysis of Algorithms was my weakest classes last academic year) and I always thought that the log n bit of that came from the way the input was split. Speaking entirely intuitively (which about sums up my asymptotic competence) doesn't the HTDP split result in a O n squared algorithm (which defeats the asymptotic objective - albeit it may serve the pedagogic one).

Cliff Bleszinski is taking a break from game development, but he's certainly not leaving the industry. With his days as design director at Epic Games behind him, the man who helped introduce Gears of War and the cover system to gaming is thinking about his next project and talking to publishers who can help him bring a transmedia universe to life.
Bleszinski recently gave the keynote address at the East Coast Games Conference in his current home town of Raleigh, North Carolina, then took some time to chat with us about some of the current events in gaming and what he's working now.
Game On: What role do you think Kickstarter opens up for big-name developers to go straight to their fans?
Cliff Bleszinski: There are multiple types of Kickstarters out there; we could do a whole separate interview about Kickstarter, but there are definitely some that feel like a developer's last shot of staying afloat. I find it disheartening when I see developers that have done so well for so many years turn to Kickstarter in a last-ditch attempt; it's almost like, "We can't keep our doors open, let's go to Kickstarter."
If it works for you, great, but it makes me sad that Kickstarter campaigns can be seen as a sign of desperation, as opposed to confidence.
I think the reason a lot of developers turn [to Kickstarter] is because nobody can give you millions of dollars without any strings attached. It's like you talk to the publisher and they're going to want to own the IP, they're going to want to control the marketing. My whole point about Kickstarter is that it's not just about the money. You get a built-in community and you get free marketing and PR stories out of it.
That said, it's starting to feel like now, when you talk about going to Kickstarter, you almost hear people's eyes rolling. I'm wondering what's next; there's gotta be some other way to do [game Kickstarters] where—and I don't have an answer—it doesn't feel like just a last-ditch Hail Mary for developers.
What's it been like jumping into the blogging space with Dude Huge Speaks?
CB: It's amazing. My thing is, I'm in a unique position where I've made my share of games over 20 years, and a lot of them have been in the "alpha shooter dude" genre. So when I speak up against the anger some male gamers have against female gamers I am told by a lot of feminist friends that that was a very important move, because my audience listens to me.
I also think I have the ability to speak up and make counterpoints, because gamers loves dogpiling on anything that they deem to be bad—like the whole "EA is evil" thing. I had to speak up because, no, EA is not evil. EA is a business. EA just happens to package their products in a manner where it feels like players are paying a late registration fee as opposed to an early registration discount.
And then you see Peter Moore, who's the most stand-up guy in the industry, make a statement that basically says "Look, we're not perfect. We're learning." I think this Internet bullying thing is really out of control; look at the whole Adam Orth thing and his comments about a potentially always online system. It's like it's fun to try and get a guy fired.
Like you never talked shit on Twitter? You've never said anything inappropriate? It doesn't matter if someone represents a company; we all screw up.
You've been involved with Hollywood when it came to trying to get the Gears of War movie made, and the buzz in the industry is all about transmedia. How important is it to have a single game versus an intellectual property that can transcend games, movies, television and comics?
CB: Now it's more important than ever, because when you look at the AAA Hollywood space—I'm not talking about indie films here—look at Pacific Rim. I guarantee that was developed with a game and a toy line in mind. Forget about the potential products and the money you can make off of any single product; now it's all about mindshare.
Now, more than ever, you have more and more things vying for your attention. It's insane. Am I going to go watch a movie, am I going to play a game, am I going to tweet on Twitter, am I going to be on my iPad? Am I just sitting there talking about Game of Thrones in forums for days or talking about my theories behind Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite? There are so many more possibilities, so it's more important now to have that kind of cross-platform experience.
That's why some of the publishers I've been talking to are the larger ones who can leverage that sort of thing. For example, you know EA was working on Dragon Age Redemption before Dragon Age 2 came out because it helps keep that mindshare and keeps fans in your universe. I said at PAX East that video games are like a religion; you want to get people tattooing your little logo on their body so they're going to get somebody else interested in it too.
How do you see your love of pop culture influencing your next game project?
CB: Whatever I do next will probably be a result of everything that I have loved my entire life. It's the whole Slumdog Millionaire thing, where I want all of those life experiences to lead to the right answers for the show.
Whatever I come up with next will probably be some crazy mash-up of influences, the result of my being into Shogun Warriors, Transformers, Thunder Cats, and all those Saturday mornings with sugar cereal in front of the TV.
Look at Ken Levine: he's looking into historical and literary references to make Bioshock Infinite and I'm glad he's doing that, because I'll be over here in pop culture land doing what I do. It's kind of more Michael Bay as opposed to Christopher Nolan, sure, but we can all strive to be smarter with what we do and be more open as we learn and get better.

Subject: History Mysteries and the Border Reivers
Date: Thu, 8 Sep 2005 16:40:13 +0100
Lion Television is currently producing a series for the BBC and the Open
University called 'History Mysteries'. The series shows viewers how to
conduct their own local or family history investigation, using the
example of a different 'mystery' brought to us each week by a member of
the public. For instance, we've looked into smuggling connections for
the owner of a local pub, and we're also tracing stories back from a
bundle of papers found in someone's attic, a stone by the side of a
road, and a dark secret in someone's family history. I'm looking for
someone with a connection to a story about the medieval border reivers,
and I wonder if anyone on this list has or knows of a likely mystery for
us. Perhaps your family history indicates you might be linked to a
border reivers' clan and you'd like to know more about it?
If you have any suggestions for our border reivers mystery, I'd love to
hear from you. You can contact me on the number below, or drop me an
email with your number and I'll call you.
Kind regards,

The Abbott government's surprise deal with the Greens has removed a formal debt ceiling of dubious value. But the government, which just months ago in opposition declared a budget emergency, still does not have a medium-term budget framework that, akin to the Reserve Bank's low inflation target, anchors community expectations, imposes control on spending and will achieve surpluses across the business cycle.
There may be some useful additional scrutiny of debt in this week's deal, but it is no substitute for strong fiscal discipline. This government is aiming at a modest and distant goal of a surplus equivalent of 1 per cent of gross domestic product within a decade, that is by the 2020s. Treasurer
This all compares poorly with international efforts. New Zealand is expecting to return its budget to surplus by the 2015 financial year and in the United Kingdom, Chancellor
The government's deal with the Greens requires both the budget and the mid-year economic and fiscal outlook to contain debt statements, including an analysis of interest payments and debt maturity and how much spending on climate change has contributed to debt. There seems to be little wrong with this and so may be a fair trade for the debt ceiling, which did little more than confuse international investors, and voters into thinking that we faced a United States-style stand off and a potential government shutdown.
But the Coalition's odd-couple deal to remove the debt ceiling has provided the Greens with a platform of legitimacy to argue there is nothing wrong with going further into debt and to threaten to block government spending cuts to contain its rise, if only because this might weigh on the soft economy. The government hasn't helped to focus community expectations by being spooked into $1.2 billion of schools spending that even Labor had let slip by the wayside. This supposedly will be offset by spending cuts in the mid-year budget update to be released in the next week or two. But this budget update needs to do more than this. It needs to provide a credible road map for getting Australia's fiscal affairs in order and some evidence that the government understands what this means.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
The location, building and whole experience. Ideal for a peaceful stop over on the way to Italy.
Nice quiet location Breakfast for $10 Euro was very minimal.
Very unique,quiet and clean. A lovely place to stay.
old world charm no restaurant - breakfast only...
Great location for visiting the region... very friendly and welcoming staff..
Authentic hotel with an historic feel fresh fruit at breakfast would be welcome. Some kind of evening food - even if just a hot drink or fruit / biscuits. Or free fruit in the room perhaps
The Chateau was okay but needs work. The manager was very nice and helpful but the owners were not friendly at all. The Chateau would be nicer in summer months I'm sure. Nice bathrooms but No curtains on windows. No heat in hallways only rooms being used. Beautiful when it snowed. Very remote and hard to find without GPS. Didn't look like the Chateau on the internet. Needs some work outside especially. Inside was nice but I think we expected a little more for a "Chateau". During the afternoon the seating area is locked and you can only sit in your room.
Location and setting. This is a very lovely house in a lovely setting, but it is absolutely comfortless. There are no drapes, the decoration is bad and shabby, the lighting is extremely poor, and generally the place is rather run down. The breakfast was also bad - luke warm coffee, bad service, and very little to eat. When asking for bread, the server took someone else's bread away from them and gave it to me!!! This place could be very lovely, but it is a very long way from its potential.
to feel a life like it was centuries ago first impression was scary, we came in the evening and we were the only guests, and the castle (chateau) looked abandoned
The Chateau is charming and the rooms are newly renovated and very comfortable. The surrounding grounds are beautiful. The staff at the hotel were very helpful. There is not much to do in the neighboring town. There was a 10 Euro additional charge for an infant.

PHOTOS: Wendy's flagship restaurant open for business
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WTVN) -- Wendy's has unveiled its new flagship restaurant in Dublin, across from their Corporate Headquarters on Dublin-Granville Road.
Denny Lynch, Senior Vice-President of Communications for Wendy's, says it features a special community room with memorabilia marking the history of both the company and central Ohio.
Much of the momorabilia comes from founder Dave Thomas, like the torch he carried during a leg of the Olympic relay in 1996. Artifacts from the origin of the restaurant are also on display.
Lynch notes, "You'll see a lot of the memorabilia that was down at the original restaurant, at 257 East Broad Street."
In terms of modern conveniences, Lynch points out the fireplace with seating around it, a wi-fi lounge, and digital televisions for the menus behind the counter.
The company also brought in a sculptor to desing a life-size statue of Dave Thomas, which greets visitors at the patio.
The restaurant opened for business on Tuesday.

November-December 1998
1) Do what you were hired to do, and do it with excellence. Ask for a clear job description in writing, so you know what is expected.
2) Accept people as they are rather than trying to change them. Model Christ-like behavior and concern.
3) Improve your skills. Stay current on trends, equipment and people in your line of work. Not only will this help you serve your current employer better, but it will keep you marketable and confident.
4) Avoid any appearance of dishonesty or ethical compromise -- even if your boss should request it.
5) Keep a daily log of your business activities and important conversations for later reference.
6) Invite, rather than solicit people to join in your prayer or Bible study group. Be gracious if a person declines your invitation.
7) If your job is overly stressful or ethically compromising, consider looking for something better.
8) Make sure you're in the right job. Do your aptitudes and personality match your career? Contact a career counselor or psychologist regarding these several tests which can help lead you to a career path more in keeping with your gifts:
A Christian Business Success Story
Sam Moore is CEO of the 200-year-old Thomas Nelson Publishers, the largest publicly held Christian publishing company in the world. Both the Nelson company and Moore have compelling stories.
The company was founded in1798 by Thomas Nelson, an 18-year-old farm boy with a second-hand bookstall in Edinburgh. Scotland. The Nelson company grew by selling religious works and other books at affordable prices. In 1850, the company revolutionized the publishing industry with the rotary web printing press. In 1901, Nelson introduced the American Standard Version of the Bible, and in1946, the Revised Standard Version.
Raised in Lebanon, Sam Moore immigrated to America in 1950 with only $600. To pay his way through college, Moore sold Bibles door to door. In 1957, after earning a masters degree, Moore started his own Bible and book sales business. Thirteen years later, Moore bought the Thomas Nelson company.
Under Sam Moore's energetic leadership, Thomas Nelson has seen many innovations including the introduction of The New King James Version ©. The company is the world's leading Bible publisher, with over 1,300 editions and formats of the eight leading translations. Nelson is also a leading publisher of Christian books and a major supplier in the burgeoning Christian gift market.

The 41-room hotel also features a textured carpet in the lobby to guide people to the reception area.
There are also grooming areas for guests' guide dogs.
The hotel is managed by the Action for Blind People charity and paid for by the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association.
"We have been very busy and everyone seems to be enjoying their stay here," said the hotel's head housekeeper Sue Clark.
"We have a lot of repeat business and if we have room we can occasionally cater for sighted people."

For those of you new to The Painted House, let me introduce the cottage. TPH oldtimers know all about it. They are the smug ones over there–smug but so pretty, aren't they? Anyway, it was a summer day in 2008 when I first walked into this rundown, vacant house in the mountains. It was neglected. Animals stored chestnuts in the living room. In spite of all this, I knew it was a gem needing a good cleaning and a little love. Along with my parents-in-law, we put an offer in immediately. A month later it was ours.
I had done one small-scale remodel before but nothing like this. Aside from some amazing stone work, timber ceilings, and wood floors, the whole house had to be redone. New plumbing, new electrical, new sheetrock, dig a well, new roof, new exterior facade… And, we had to furnish it–all this on a tight budget. There were some DIY moments, some faking, some serendipity, and lots of wheelin' and dealin'. We hit Craigslist, garage sales, outlets, and roadside stands for goodies to outfit what we now call The Cottage. The finished product is a lesson in how frugality and beauty can be BFFs. This week I share my favorite finds, deals, and tricks that created our little mountain getaway.
Original stone wall.
With a kitchen and three bathrooms, the cottage required a lot of tile work. Tile work isn't cheap. There isn't a lot you can do about the cost of labor–unless you hire a drunk tile layer like we did, our only major hiccup in the remodel. So, we looked to save money on the purchase of tile. Friend Holly gave me a few boxes of biscuit-colored subway tiles that were left over from her bathroom remodel. Unfortunately, biscuit wasn't going to work in the white kitchen; but I found that white subway tiles come cheap at Home Depot. Cheap and charming and a classic? I was sold on the popular white subway tile for the kitchen in the classic brick pattern.
Eliminating the upper cabinets gave us more room to install the tile–all the way up to the upper shelves. I originally wanted to run the tile up to the ceiling for maximum texture but decided it was better to save that cash in labor and materials. Turns out, having an exaggerated backsplash does the job just fine of adding texture and shine.
White subway tiles with white grout.
Early on in the project we bought on Ebay a copper sink for the master bathroom. Then came the antique white clawfoot tub. I knew I wanted to do travertine on the floor–but also in the shower? I had those few boxes of biscuit subway tiles from Holly–but not enough to do the whole shower. Plus, I didn't want biscuit ceramic tiles and a white enamel bathtub. Good ol' Home Depot to the rescue again. What if we mixed the biscuit tiles with the white tiles? The white tiles looked great with the bathtub and the biscuit looked great with the copper and travertine. Mixing the two together gives the perfect vintage look.
We mixed Holly's biscuit tile with the white tile below the tile mosaic band. Are tile bands lame now like wallpaper borders? If so, oh well, because I like that I was able to bring in some glass and natural stone in this accent. Above the band is only white subway tile. It all is grouted in tan–which drives the vintage look home. Travertine squares cover the shower floor.
Meanwhile, downstairs, another bathroom needed attention. This subway train was unstoppable. For the price and timelessness, white subway tile couldn't be beat.
I decided to do a more contemporary application with it in the second bathroom by installing the tile in a grid pattern. This time I chose white grout to keep the look fresh and modern. And, there goes that tile band again.

Re: Axis Labels on Plots Using a Frame
This problem also applies when Mathematica puts the frame labels too far
away from the frame. This is especially apparent on the x axis.
In any case, the solution is to make your own labels by drawing outside the
frame. To do this one uses two options: ImagePadding creates space to draw
and PlotRangeClipping -> False prevents Mathematica from clipping things you
draw that are outside the frame.
The following is an example using ListPlot.
ListPlot[Table[{Sin[n], Sin[2 n]}, {n, 50}],
PlotStyle -> AbsolutePointSize[5],
Epilog -> {Text[Style["x", 16], {1.2, -1.2}],
Text[Style["y", 16], {-1.15, 1.25}]},
Frame -> True,
PlotRange -> {{-1.1, 1.1}, {-1.1, 1.1}},
PlotRangeClipping -> False,
ImagePadding -> {{30, 40}, {30, 35}}]
It's a little more intuitive with the Presentations Application because
there you just draw one thing after another.
<< Presentations`
ListDraw[Table[{Sin[n], Sin[2 n]}, {n, 50}]],
Text[Style["x", 16], {1.2, -1.2}],
Text[Style["y", 16], {-1.15, 1.25}]},
AspectRatio -> 0.6,
Frame -> True,
PlotRange -> 1.1,
PlotRangeClipping -> False,
ImagePadding -> {{30, 40}, {30, 35}}]

Hello everyone,
I added a frame as an option to a list plot, and my x and y axis labels
disappeared. So I used FrameLabel, but the labels were placed centred below
the x axis and centred beside the y axis. Is there any way I can get them
to appear at the end of the x axis, that is, the bottom right of the frame,
and the top left for the y?

F. E. Myers, and Bros., was founded in 1870 by Francis and Philip Myers in Ashland, Ohio. They designed and built the first double acting pump which pumped water on both the up and down strokes. They also built hay tools and door hangers.
They are probably best known for their pumps, and many of the older pumps still survive. The first family of Myers pumps were reciprocating types: "Bulldozer" shallow well, high capacity pumps; "Working Head" deep well reciprocating pumps; and "High Pressure" industrial pumps. In the 1930s, the first jet pumps were designed. Submersibles were introduced in the 1950s. In the late 1960s, Myers began to manufacture their own design submersible motors.' In later years the company was also building equipment for wastewater removal and industrial pumping systems. The Myers family sold the business in 1960 to the McNeil Corporation of Akron, Ohio. In 1986 Pentair, Inc. of St. Paul, Minnesota purchased Myers where they are now part of this corporation's water products group.

If tablets had lids, Google would've just lifted the one on its new Android tablet, the Google Nexus 7.
The announcement confirms what we'd already spotted when leaked pics of the new tablet, built by Asus, surfaced earlier in the week.
The 340g, 7in slate's got a quad-core Tegra 3 hitched up to 1GB RAM to drive the all-new Jelly Bean (Android 4.1) OS to its 1200x800 IPS Gorilla Glass screen. It also the first Android device to run Chrome as the default browser.
Google's offering a choice of 8GB and 16GB models, and there's NFC alongside the usual glut of connectivity apparatus (GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Micro USB) and sensors (gyro, magnetometer and accelerometer).
The Google Nexus 7 will be released in mid-July, with pre-orders starting today on Google Play. Prices start at £160 (or US$200).

Suzuki Jimny 4WD
2001 August: Two million Suzuki Jimnys have been built since the start of production of the very first model in April 1970 [-Suzuki].
2000 December:
Suzuki Australia introduced the
Jimny JLX Soft Top, priced from $19,990 ($au).
The B-pillars are joined to form a roll-bar,
the front section of the roof folding back onto the B-pillar, and
the rear section being fully removable.
The Jimny Soft Top is powered by a 1.3L engine and has either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic gearbox. It has a 2-speed transfer case and part-time four wheel drive. Standard features include twin front airbags, engine immobiliser, and CD player.
The soft top has been available in other markets,
e.g. being shown in Barcelona in
May 1999.
2000 October: The Suzuki Jimny gets some two year old's improvments: twin airbags standard, air conditioning and a new engine. Prices start at au$17,990+orc, so the entry price is up $1K but it is probably well worth it.
The new engine has another 30cc, double overhead cams,
a bigger bore and a shorter stroke than the
previous one,
to give similar power at 10% lower revs (60kW at 5500rpm),
and 5% more torque at the same revs (110Nm at 4500rpm).

Robert Guerrero says Floyd Mayweather Jr. is slipping, and he intends to exploit the unbeaten pound-for-pound champion's flaws on May 4.
Guerrero has been asking for a fight with Mayweather since Guerrero was a skinny 135-pounder. Now that Mayweather agreed to the bout this week for his Showtime debut, Guerrero plans to cash in on the chance.
Although he respects Mayweather's defense and skill, Guerrero thinks Mayweather has slowed down in recent years. He also expects Mayweather to be fighting ring rust after a year away and a two-month stint in jail.
A talkative former featherweight champion from Gilroy, Calif., Guerrero (31-1-1, 18 KOs) says he's tired of top fighters avoiding him. He plans to use a win over Mayweather to propel him to the top of the sport.

The UK's largest building society, Nationwide, is stepping up security for online customers.
Customers are now asked for additional personal information, but some people suggest that it goes too far and a different, more simple approach, might be better.
We asked for your comments - a selection of which are below - the debate is now closed.
I think Nationwide are right to increase security for their online banking service. The questions and answers are not that hard choose or to remember.John Dalby, London
Paul Lewis was right to mention the "lost" laptop in the interview, because it is indicative of the attitude Nationwide have historically taken to security. When does the top management take responsibility for its middle management incompetence?Paul, Brighton
The questions are simple to answer. The key is - do not take them literally. Provide an answer relevant to the question, not specific to the question. If the question says "what is your first holiday?", answer it with (for instance) the place you like to visit most, or the place that holds some meaning to you.Mike, Lincoln
Systems that have preset questions tend to encourage the "correct" answers - e.g. "What is your mother's maiden name?" prompts for an answer that is known by friends and family. Supplying false answers to these questions would be more secure but less memorable. The best system I have found allowed me to make up my own security question. Not being forced to choose from a predefined set of questions allowed me to come up with an easy to remember, hard to guess question/answer pair, where the answer bears no relation to the question. Something like¿ Q: What colour tie do I wear in March? A: 3frencHHens. As a rule I do not use the same security details for different online accounts, so I have a large number of reminders for sign-ons and passwords. If I was given the opportunity to supply my own question and answer as described above I would feel confident in using the same security details for several sign-ons.Tim, London
Nationwide has introduced a security system so complex that some of its account holders are forced to write down their personal log-in details or risk being locked-out of their accounts. Under those circumstances it is arguable that liability for security passes from the society to the account holder. Perhaps Stuart Bernau would like to comment. The reason that initially only five of the three million account holders complained about the introduction of the new system, is that we have no alternative, although we own the society. Howard Sherman, Clifford's Mesne, Gloucestershire
ING has an ingenious solution on its log-in screen to the problem of transmitting keystrokes, displaying a computer-generated keypad or dropdown list so only a mouse-click is required to select digits or letters.SF, York
As an online Nationwide customer, and despite being a generation younger at 32 years old, I had a similar experience to your listener. I found it extremely vexing trying to answer the questions with memorable answers. I am dreading having to recall them at some point in the future.Nicola
Re the 20 questions asked by Nationwide - I also found that I could only answer 4 of them, as the others were all aimed at 20 something year olds. I have no favourite football team or cartoon character etc. I found the comments by the spokesman from Nationwide disappointing. I am sure that more than 5 people found these questions absurd.Nick Lidwell
The idea of question/answer security is really no longer satisfactory. Security is better provided by a tool such as an inexpensive version of the RSA fob. Even electronics is not required, a card with an array of random numbers on it, where the user is asked to input the number at a specific column/row, will give better security than the question/answer at little cost.Martin Yirrell
Thank goodness you are discussing over-zealous online security. I am planning to close my Alliance & Leicester online account because in order to check my account details I need to remember not only a pin number, but also a twelve digit account ID number. Twelve digits!! How can I remember that without writing it down, which surely defeats the point?! This is daft and means I can't check my account when I'm travelling.Ellen
I have no objection to Nationwide improving security for those of us who use on-line banking but the man from Nationwide completely missed the point. We are being asked to choose five from twenty questions to provide security information. Like your contributor, I had difficulty in choosing just five from the puerile and juvenile questions. Favourite colour? I am a man in his fifties; I haven't had a favourite colour since I was a child. Favourite team? I can't stand football and object to my building society sponsoring an over-monied media business in the first place. First holiday? Who knows? My parents, presumably, but they died many years ago. Yes, let's have more security but let's have an adult way of providing it, please.John Brandon
The problem is that so many of the questions are subjective, and could change over time. My favourite movie this year may be different from that next year - so this makes it difficult to always remember. Even the person from Nationwide who was interviewed admitted that he chose those questions which only had one answer: they should ALL only have one answer. Mother's maiden name, father's middle name, month of your mother's birth, own eye colour, town or city of birth - these are not subjective, and will not change over time. It is the 'favourites' questions that are so annoying, and so absolutely useless. Helen Purchase
I have to admit that I cannot remember the answers I gave as most were inappropriate for my age, so I made them up. I now wish I had written them down!Mike
There would be no compromise in security by allowing the customer to set their own question as well as the answer, when they first register.Greg Lubel
I use other internet banking but Nationwide is so confusing that it is simply simpler to go out of my way and go in to the branch - surely that defeats the object of internet banking?Julia Stewart
I have got round the problem of remembering passwords by using car registration numbers. Luckily, in spite of not being able to remember what I have just walked upstairs for, I can remember nearly all the registration numbers of, not only the cars I have owned in the past, but also the ones my parents owned as well. I can safely leave myself a written reminder, such as "white Renault". I know what the registration number was, but I bet nobody else does!Janet, Reading
I complained straightaway at such arrogant and uninformed changes to customer internet account use. Makes me want to change Bank. Stupid questions. I told them they were idiots - could not help myselfGren, Brighton
I am a customer of Nationwide and I answered the questions. However I cannot really remember half the answers. I just hope they never use them. What we (the public) need is an electronic key on a USB stick that can be sent in response to a challenge. Maybe a key you register or something like that. Steve, Gateshead
Cahoot must be way ahead of the rest. I have been using their web card for at least two years. When making an online purchase one produces on screen a credit or debit card replica of one's own card. A number for the card unique to that single purchase is generated. Further more, the expiry day is very close to the purchase date. It is about time that other card issuers got their act together.Wilf Miles, Warrington
I have had an online account with Fortis Bank in Belgium for a number of years. It is a very effective and safe system that they have implemented. It requires no personal data, simply a "credit card" sized calculator type of device. I have a simple secret pin number for it that I never have to change and is firmly imprinted on my brain. On entering this number I receive a one time code to enter on the Bank's web site within a limited time. If I loose the calculator, it only accepts a certain number of tries before locking up. It is unique to me, no other customer of the bank can use it, even for their own account. When the battery runs down I get a new unique device. It seems to be the perfect solution.Alan, Cambridge
I have been enraged by the extra questions, and as a middle aged man, have a problem remembering where I have parked my car, let alone extra security questions. I have had three online accounts with Nationwide for over 10 years. I wrote online to complain to them and had a reply to say there would be a delay in their response, due to the high numbers of emails they were receiving.Robert Egford, Cardiff
Prior to this layer, Nationwide's security was already one of the best. Those of us with joint accounts and shared computers are compelled to write down the answers to the Nationwide questions, as otherwise the joint account holders could give different answers to the same question. However, writing down the answers is not a problem if you only access the account from one place. Most of the people trying to break into your account will not be in that place!Stuart, Southampton
An internet bank blocked my husband's account and he was asked to phone their security team. The outcome was that he was told to provide his memorable information again. Except that he could not provide anything he had given before. "First school?" he was asked. "No not that one, another one." He had to write the answers down as none of them were memorable.
Jenet, Llanbedrgoch
The questions are definitely odd, but just tell them anything you will remember. They are not going to know whether Gromit is a cartoon character or a plasticine model!Gillian, Ipswich
My local Nationwide branch and staff at Wanstead are extremely helpful, but with regard to mortgages and online banking it would seem their hands are tied. I do not consider Nationwide to be very secure.Teresa, London
What really annoys me is that Nationwide keep lecturing us about security (they even sent us a leaflet about it earlier in the year), when it was their poor controls which meant customers details were stolen on one of their laptops.Mark, Nottingham
In the interest of account security I have different passwords for my several internet accounts. Following a "memory block" on 14/10/07 I was appropriately logged out of my bank account. Since, I have sent 2 emails and made more than 10 phone calls holding on between 10 and 14 minutes and each time have been unable to speak to an adviser to have my account reactivated. Each time the recorded message repeats "Sorry but we have unprecedented demand...". I do not need urgent access to this account, but what if I did? I now plan to close my account, probably the only way, by sending a letter. Isla, Hitchin
I think the idea is good, but some of the questions do not produce memorable answers - and preferably should be one word. Even those that produced an easy to remember answer such as your first school still produced a problem - if I went to The Abbey School would I remember whether I had entered The Abbey, Abbey or The Abbey School as the answer?Anne, Reading
The questions asked are inappropriate for many people, especially those without favourites. The choice is so limited it will be difficult to give five consistent answers that they can remember. What is your favourite colour? Blue, no yell...Mike, Oxford
Some of the "twenty questions" are just silly, others would be easily guessable by family or co-workers.Jason S, UK
The comments we publish are not necessarily the views of the BBC but will reflect the balance of views we have received. It is helpful if contributors state if they work for any organisation relevant to an issue discussed. Readers should form their own views on whether messages published represent undeclared interests, or views prompted by a common source.

Concern has been expressed about the internal use of sage due to the presence of thujone.11 Even when consumed in small amounts for long periods of time, thujone may cause increased heart rate and mental confusion. Very high amounts (several times greater than one receives if taking sage as instructed above), may lead to convulsions. If one takes sage internally, it is best to limit use to the recommended amounts and to periods of no more than one to two weeks. Extracts of sage made with alcohol are likely to be higher in thujone than those made with water. Sage oil should never be consumed without being first diluted in water. Sage should not be used internally during pregnancy. These concerns do not extend to the use of sage as a gargle or mouth rinse. Sage should be avoided when fever is present.

International student insurance with a customized payment plan.
Want to enhance your worldview and add a new dimension to your undergraduate or graduate studies? There's nothing quite like expanding your studies to a country other than your own to learn more than you ever could in a classroom. Experiencing other cultures first-hand can change your entire outlook on life. And while traveling abroad to a new country can be expensive and unpredictable, in a new country, international student insurance is designed to protect you from unexpected illnesses or accidents that may require medical attention while you pursue your education abroad.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) estimates that more than 3.4 million students are studying outside their home countries every year. Many of those students may have health insurance or government medical coverage in their home countries, but many health plans have strict limitations for students who are studying abroad. International student insurance helps fill the gaps in medical coverage while living and studying internationally.
International student insurance is beneficial for any student living away from his or her home country while studying internationally. Most colleges and universities in the U.S. require international students to obtain health coverage while studying in America, as do many other institutions of higher learning around the world.
Insurance for international students is provided on a short-term basis. This short-term coverage allows for an easy, month-to-month payment plan with pricing based on the destination and level of benefits. Students may not have access to coverage while in their home countries, but coverage abroad is usually comprehensive.

My interest, Photography
My current interest is in digital photography, which is the process of capturing light and recording it using an image sensor. In fact, I am a photographer for Ohio University Southern.
I started in elementary school and did it mostly for hobby. When I was in the high school band, I took pictures of them for the website. I also took pictures for the yearbook. I then got a job at OUS and currently work for marketing.
I currently specialize in portraits. I do mostly just faces, then use a process to bring out hyper details in the skin. I use a Canon 60D.Click here to see some of my work

Before going to read the texts below, you can see our video tutorial:
WPML allows to create translations for texts in themes and plugins in two ways:
- Don't use String Translation to translate the theme and plugins (translating using the traditional .mo files).
It's good when you already have a theme with the translations you need.
- Translating theme and plugin texts using WPML's String Translation
This setting is located in WPML->Theme and plugins localization.
Themes and plugins load their .mo files with translations, without you having to do anything. No matter what you choose in WPML's translation options, the theme will always load its built-in translation.
When you select Don't use String Translation to translate the theme and plugins, you simply tell WPML not to allow editing these translations using the String Translation module.
Translating the theme and plugins using WPML's String Translation
Note: this option requires WPML's String Translation module, available as part of the Multilingual CMS package.
Select Translate the theme and plugins using WPML's String Translation, to manage translating texts from theme/plugin template files via WPML's String Translation admin screen.
With this option selected, WPML will scan the theme and find the texts that can be translated. It reports what it finds and let you enter translations, right from within WordPress.
Worth noting here is that Translate the theme and plugins using WPML's String Translation will fall back to .mo file translations if those exist in your theme and plugins. This means that if you see a translated text string in your site which does not seem to appear under String Translation, it is very likely that the translation comes from an .mo file in you theme or plugin.
Scanning the theme for strings
Click on Scan the theme for strings and WPML will go through all the files in the active theme to extract translatable texts from them (texts that are wrapped with gettext functions).
If you select the check-box Load translations if found in the .mo files, WPML will look for and load any translations provided by theme's .mo files. These translations can serve as initial text translations which you can easily edit later if you like via WPML's String Translation.
The scanner shows how many strings were found in the theme and their translation status. To translate them, click on View strings that need translation. This will take you to the String translation admin page, where you can translate each individual text string found in the theme.
You will also notice a second check-box in this section to Automatically use theme or plugin text domains, when gettext calls does not use a string literal. This option might be helpful if you are using a theme which uses gettext incorrectly.
Scanning plugins for strings
Similarly to scanning a theme for strings, WPML can scan plugins and find translatable strings.
Select the plugins to scan, select Load translations if found in the .mo files if you want to use the initial translations provided in .mo files and click on Scan the selected plugins for strings.
Translating the strings
The String Translation screen is available to Admins and Editors.
If you're also using WPML Translation Management module, you can choose strings and assign them for translation by your designated local translators (available in WPML >= 2.3.0) or professional translation service (available in WPML >= 3.2)
Choose the strings to translate, the languages to translate them into and click on the button to Add to translation basket.
Your local translators will be able to access the String Translation screen and translate just the ones that you've sent them for translation.
Specifying the locales for different languages
A locale is a code which determines which language variant to use for different languages. It's comprised of a language/country combination.
For example 'en_US' means American (USA) English and 'en_GB' means English used in the UK.
The locales table in WPML is already pre-populated with the correct values for all popular languages. You should edit it only if you want to use a different language/country combination or if you've added your custom languages. For instance, the default locale for Spanish is 'es_ES' (for Spain), but you can change it to Mexican Spanish by setting the Spanish locale to 'es_MX'.
To edit the locales, go to WPML > Languages > Section "Site Languages" > Click on the link "Edit Languages" and change them.
Getting Translation Files for WordPress Itself
Many of the texts in your site come from WordPress itself. This includes date formats, standard texts and the entire localization for the WordPress admin.
You can let WPML download these translations for you, or download and install them manually.
Option 1) Letting WPML download WordPress translations
WPML can automatically download the required translations for WordPress, for your site. This functionality requires the String Translation module. Once enabled, you'll see an option for WPML to automatically download WordPress translations.
* Note: In the case you experience 502 Bad Gateway errors when downloading translations, please check your server (Apache, Nginx and etc) log and if "mod_security" is disabled.
Follow this guide for downloading WordPress translations to see how it works.
Option 2) Downloading translations for WordPress manually
If you prefer to download the .mo files for WordPress manually, go to the WordPress localization project.
Choose the WordPress version that you are using, select the language and click on export to download the translation.
To enable localization for your language, you need to do two things:
- Set the language locale file in the Locale file name column.
- Download the WordPress locale file and save it to wp-includes/languages or wp-content/languages. The download links are provided in the table above (click on the language name).

Buffy spin-offs we really want to see. Who wouldn't watch 'America's Next Top Slayer'?
Amusing. On a serious note, I always thought a "Tales of Vengeance" comic series focused on vengeance demons would be awesome.
The Buffy one is funny, but I might call it So You Think You Can Slay??. And where is Giles' Libraries and Tweed, It's HAWT ... ?

Killeen police arrested two teenagers who they believe broke into a home and stole a television.
Police charged Diantis Lynn Roberts and Brodrick Jarod Hill, both 18, with burglary of a habitation.
Officers arrested the two after receiving a call of suspicious activity in the 4400 block of Deek Drive on Thursday. The report stated two men were wheeling a flat-screen television down the street on a dolly.
When officers arrived, they found that one of the men, Hill, had an outstanding warrant. He was arrested and taken to jail, according to an arrest affidavit.
Police then questioned Roberts about the television. When the officer told Roberts he could leave with the television, Roberts said he did not want it.
The officer then asked him to sign a release of property form so police could take the television. As Roberts stood to retrieve the form, a plastic baggy containing a green leafy substance fell to the ground, the affidavit stated.
The substance field-tested positive as marijuana, and Roberts was arrested.
At the jail, Hill told police Roberts and he worked together to burglarize a home. Hill said other stolen items were at his mother's house. Police later retrieved them, the affidavit stated.
Justice of the Peace Bill Cooke arraigned Hill, setting his bail at $54,000 for the burglary charge and a motion to revoke probation on an evading arrest conviction. Roberts' bail was set at $53,000 for the burglary charge and a charge of possession of marijuana, less than 2 ounces.
Cooke also arraigned Adrian Pete Hammonds, 38, on an unrelated charge of failure to comply with sex offender registration requirements. Hammonds' bail was set at $50,000.

Shijiazhuang, China (XNA) Jul 08, 2013
The growth cycle of seeds for two plant species, which are used as raw materials for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), could be shortened after being bred in space, a medicine company announced on Thursday.
The breeding in space took place during China's recent Shenzhou-10 spacecraft mission.
The Chengde Jingfukang Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd, in north China's Hebei Province, is now preparing for further breeding of Amur Cork-tree Bark and Atractylodes chinensis seeds at its base, said Li Shenming, company chairman.
With the experience in space, the growth cycle of the seeds will be shortened and the effective components they contain will be strengthened, therefore, this will bring relief to any supply shortage of TCM raw materials, according to Li.
The space breeding seeds are expected to grow into high-quality plants and their planting areas will be expanded using hi-tech measures so that the medicinal plant resources can be protected, Li said.
Su Guolin, director of the company's TCM material cultivation base, said the seeds experienced gene variation in space due to the conditions of intense radiation, micro-gravity and high vacuum.
The company will implement trial planting after space breeding seeds are cultivated and selected, Su said, adding that the whole process will take four to six years.

Primary ITO welcomed by Minister Steven Joyce
Primary ITO welcomed by Minister Steven Joyce
In Wellington last night the Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills and Employment Hon Steven Joyce welcomed the launch of the Primary Industry Training Organisation as an exciting new era in primary sector training.
Resulting from a merger between the Agriculture and the Horticulture ITOs, the new Primary ITO will also be responsible for Water Industry Training, Equine Industry Training and NZ Sports Turf training.
In his address to key industry stakeholders, the Minister said he believed the merger aligned strongly with the government's Business Growth Agenda. The latest progress report titled 'Building Skilled and Safe Workplaces' states that a skilled workforce is the engine room of a thriving economy. The report goes on to say that matching skills training to employers needs will become more critical as the global labour market becomes more competitive. So it's more pertinent than ever that the Primary ITO launches to ensure a high level of training across the primary sector industries.
The report also refers to the reconfiguration of the ITO sector into larger, more capable organisations to better meet the needs of employers.
Newly appointed Chair of the Primary ITO Board, Cliff Tipler, believes the new ITO is crucial to developing exceptional workers who will support the profitability, productivity and sustainability of New Zealand's most important industry.
"The primary sector has been a key part of New Zealand's growth story for a long time, and continues to contribute enormously today. Agricultural and horticultural products account for 40% of New Zealand's exports. I truly believe its people who are the driving force behind the primary industry. The people who are out there working hard, whether they're a dairy farmer in the Waikato or a grape grower in the Hawke's Bay, they are the very heart of the sector."
"We must invest in the skills and knowledge of our people to ensure the primary sector continues to thrive," says Cliff.
Primary ITO Chief Executive Kevin Bryant echoes Cliff's words.
"A stronger, larger ITO will bring efficiencies, benefits and opportunities that would have not been possible under the previous structure. There'll be more resources for training, better quality training and better outcomes."
About Primary
On the 1st of October 2012, the Agriculture and Horticulture ITOs were merged to form the Primary Industry Training Organisation. The Primary ITO is also responsible for Water Industry Training, Equine Industry Training and NZ Sports Turf training making it one of the largest ITOs in New Zealand.
Primary ITO provides leadership in education and training, develops national qualifications, maintains national standards and provides ongoing support for their trainees and employers. Primary ITO training is subsidised by industry and Government.

Barrier Threatens Palestine's Ancient Landscape
"This month, in response to petitions by villagers and the environmental group Friends of the Earth Middle East, Israel's Supreme Court gave the Israeli defense ministry 90 days to come up with an alternative to the planned wall that would take into account 'the unique character of the area' around Battir," says Joel Greenberg. "In its ruling - a rare intervention by the Supreme Court in the barrier project - the court urged security officials to reconsider 'the nature of the divider and security arrangements' in the sensitive zone, which is a candidate for designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site."
The defense ministry intend for the planned route to protect the Battir area from terrorist attacks and say that steps have been taken to minimize the project's impact, but conservation experts support the concerns of villagers and environmental advocates. The Israel Nature and Parks Authority said the barrier would inflict "a would in the ancient landscape" and "cut the farmers off from their lands, leading to the destruction of the ancient farming culture." Gidon Bromberg, Israeli director of Friends of the Earth Middle East, said, "We're not against a security barrier in principle, but we're against building it in a cultural landscape site that requires protection."
The controversy over the barrier project recalls the armistice agreement signed in 1949 after Israel's war of independence. The farmers of Battir were allowed to continue cultivating their land as long as they did not harm the Israeli train route between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv that runs along their village. Akram Bader, the mayor of Battir, said, "We take care of the border because we know we will be safe if Israel has security. We can do that without any physical barrier. Battir is a special case, and that's how it should be, a pilot project of peace."
Hat tip to Daniel Lippman.

text: I love Wendy Williams and how she tells it like it is and will ask anyone anything. On her show yesterday, Wendy started talking about Heidi Klum and Seal and Heidi's bodyguard. As Wendy said yesterday and I have said before and everyone else too. No one believes Heidi's story that they were totally platonic and the second Seal left, the couple just clicked and it magically became romantic. That is such a bunch of crap and no one believes her at all. Seal did some very bad things in their relationship and was not a very nice guy, but despite all that, he is the one who is coming across sympathetic and a victim and it should not really be that way. he had other people in his life, but we don't talk about those because Heidi has been so front and center almost from day one about being with the bodyguard. Heidi is a sneaky one and has a lot of her own secrets. I love that Wendy called her out and she should keep calling her out. Of course it won't do any good because no one will talk. Seal tried and he got shot down and had to recant almost the next day.

Quran Burning Rage! (CNN)
So, the media picked up on an incident that happened the other day and are, in a sense, making things worse by exaggerating the facts…in some cases reporting rumors as fact, which give the rumors validation.
I was not going to write about this…I actually had a nice post prepared about Lent…could have won me a Pulitzer…but alas, some reporters are seeking Pulitzers as well, so please allow me to clear up a few things. First off, there were no reports of Qurans in flames…there were no Afghani citizens who reached and pulled out half burnt copies, singeing their own fingers in the process. The nation is not aflame. Violence has not erupted everywhere. There have been no shots fired where I am (we didn't even get to use the fire hoses).
Here is what did happen: There were some religious materials that had been removed from a nearby detention facility. They were in a bin and on their way to the burn center. Right now the contents of the bin and how they wound up on the way to the burn center are being investigated. Whether or not there was one or were multiple Qurans is not known. But the report that a Quran may have been on its way to be burned was enough to get people upset.
There are a few demonstrations. The biggest one is outside the base where it happened, but that is a good bit away from us. The demonstrations in Kabul have been relatively small and they have been peaceful. Reports of burning tires and effigies (in one story) are greatly exaggerated. Honestly, they burn tires here when they are not demonstrating. Heck, they burn all their trash and waste. "Smoke" is an actual weather condition here.
It is true that some of the bases have been closed, that's nothing more than a pre-caution. To be honest, it's a minor inconvenience. It is unfortunate that the media picks up on rumors and reports them as facts. It has caused some unnecessary worry for a lot of people. Please understand, I am not trying to sound glib, or play down any danger. I am only trying to clear up some misconceptions that the media have taken to spread.
In their defense, the situation is developing and many facts get lost in the shuffle as people rush to get information out. Rumors are repeated, picked up, spread, repeated some more and soon everyone thinks they are facts. So, please take what you read and see on TV with a grain of salt. There are facts buried in the story, but there are many, many rumors piled on top.

Felt Spider Hats
Sort of bizarre, but I love them. These Felt Spider Hats are designed for multiple use and work great as a reusable party hat. I can imagine a group of kids having so much fun with these hats. The vibrant colors add to the apeal, but it has to be that hanging spider that really does the trick.
