Plain Packaging Regulation Violates WTO Rules
NZ Plain Packaging Regulation Violates WTO Rules
DALLAS, TX: The New Zealand government should reject a plain packaging regulatory proposal for tobacco products as it would violate WTO rules and intellectual property agreements, and also expose consumers to harmful counterfeit products, said the Institute for Policy Innovation (IPI) in comments filed today.
In comments
filed, IPI President Tom Giovanetti warned the regulation:
--Violates WTO rules and the Paris Convention to which New Zealand is a signatory;
--Reflects a poor understanding of the importance of trademarks in an economy;
--Sets a harmful and misguided precedent that would certainly be applied to other products, and
--Inevitably leads to a rise in illicit tobacco products, which fall outside regulatory compliance by their very nature.
Besides harming New Zealand's international trade and intellectual property obligations, the proposal would also inexorably fail to achieve its intended purpose of reducing tobacco use among consumers, since plain packaging lowers tobacco prices.
Moreover, said Giovanetti, should a society that values free speech even be restricting the rights of companies selling a legal product from freely communicating in the marketplace with their consumers?
"One of the best indications of a free society is whether or not the society trusts the public's ability to process information freely communicated within the marketplace," said Giovanetti.
"The proposed plain packaging regulation suggests New Zealand does not trust companies and consumers to freely exchange information within a legal marketplace, which we would think would be offensive to independent, freedom-loving Kiwis," he said.
The Institute for Policy Innovation (IPI) is an independent, nonprofit public policy organization based in Dallas, Texas, USA.

A media centre-style interface for the iPad, Boxee helps iPad owners break out of Apple's walled garden.
These days it seems the primary purpose of every Apple product is to drive you to the iTunes store to buy music, movies, games and other apps. Cupertino rules the iTunes store with an iron fist, partly to stifle competition to the Apple ecosystem. Thankfully third-party media player apps such as Boxee have received Apple's blessing, expanding the capabilities of the i-Centric wundertablet. The initial limitations of the Boxee iPad app will frustrate some users, but it certainly shows potential.
Boxee is a highly respected media centre interface, initially developed to help computers and games consoles behave more like an AV device while offering easy access to a world of online content. The Boxee software is available for Windows, Mac and Linux, as well as the hacked Apple TV (Boxee actually evolved from the XMBC interface originally developed for the hacked Xbox). D-Link also sells the slick Boxee Box in Australia, for those who don't want to build or hack their own.
Now the Boxee iPad app has finally appeared in the iTunes store, after an early version was on show at CES in January. It's a promising first effort, although those looking for easy access to their favourite content may be disappointed. Anyone looking for a more flexible alternative to the likes of AirVideo and Orb for streaming video may also find that the Boxee app is not all they'd hoped for.
One of the biggest disappointments about the initial Boxee app is that, unlike other Boxee iterations, it can't pull content across your home network using DLNA or Samba. If you want to watch videos stored on your computer or network drive, you need the Boxee Media Manager software running on a computer (Mac or Windows). Boxee Media Manager will transcode your videos to iFriendly formats on the fly and serve them up to the Boxee app on your iPad.
As I said, if you're after such functionality you're probably already running something like AirVideo and Orb on your computer, which are both designed to stream video to an iPad app. They'll cost you a few dollars, but it's money well spent. They can also serve content over the internet, from your home computer, which is handy while you're out and about. Orb offers the added bonus of acting as a DLNA server, delivering content to DLNA-compliant media players around your home such as the WD TV Live, PlayStation 3 or even the Boxee Box.
It seems Orb has struck a local deal which limits free access for Australians, pushing you from orb.com to orb.net.au, but you can still download it here. If you're looking to abandon computer-based solutions and stream to your iPad directly from a DLNA-compatible network drive, take a look at apps such as media:connect, Media Link Player and CineXPlayer, although the results can be hit and miss. There's talk of adding such features to the Boxee iPad app in the future.
Boxee's picture quality is pretty close to Air Video's when it comes to streaming video to an iPad over your home network. Even so, it's worth noting that Air Video offers a lot of advanced options for tweaking the picture quality should you run into problems, options which Boxee lacks at this point. Both of them can also stream video to an Apple TV via AirPlay. The Boxee app can also stream content to a Boxee Box, which some people will see as the killer app (although I'm not sure how useful it is if you've already got a Boxee Box which already have access to the same content).
Of course this isn't the only reason why you'd want to run Boxee on an iPad. Boxee was originally designed as an online content aggregator, but unfortunately the most useful features are missing from the iPad app.
Launch the Boxee app and you're asked to login with your free Boxee account, then offered the option to connect with Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr. You're now offered a three-row home screen, offering a choice of content from Friends, Watch Later and Featured. "Friends" relies on content shared by your friends on Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr. "Watch Later" offers up videos you've bookmarked in Safari on a computer or iGadget. "Featured" offers a mix of online content from sources such as YouTube and Vimeo.
Existing Boxee users will notice there are some quite significant omissions from this line up. There's no way to access your My Apps or My Feeds list from the iPad app. The Shows, Movies and Apps menus are all missing, so don't think you can use the app like the Boxee Box to get easy access to Catch Up TV from the likes of iView. Of course there are other ways to watch Catch Up TV on the iPad, but Boxee's job is to combine everything you're after in the one place. Considering point of Boxee is to make it easy to access the content you really want to watch, such shortcomings are rather disappointing.
Of course it's only early days for the Boxee iPad app and the missing features will probably come over time. It's a noble first effort, but it will take time for Boxee to reach its full potential on the iPad.

Understand car shipping. There is the broker whom you deal with. Then there are haulers that actually pick up and deliver your car. You negotiate payment with the broker. Base on how much he thinks he will make, he will post a fee for a hauler to pick up your car. If that fee is too low, no hauler will take the job. If it is high, then your car will get picked up right away. It is all about money and incentive. You will get a tremendous range of cost from brokers. Some will lowball you to get you to call them, and then tell you you have to come up with more money to get your car shipped immediately. First thing you should do is to ask the broker what is the breakdown, ie his commission, and what he will post to the "shipping list" the amount the hauler gets. You know he is not lying if you give the broker his commission, and then give cash or cashier check (depending on what he wants) to the driver when the car is delivered. When the car arrives, check it out for damages before making the payment. How do I know this? I had Porsche 997 Turbo shipped from CA to TX this last summer. Shipping a car from CA to TX is around $700-$1000. You picked a good time to ship a car, during fall and winter when business is slow. Haulers are willing to fill their trucks before leaving their origin, so they are willing to accept less money than during high season. They want their trucks filled!

With opposition to Susan Rice mounting daily, Michael Tomasky proposes six alternative nominees for the top post at foggy Bottom.
Rumors spread from foggy Bottom after the coup that arms shipments may be curtailed.
"Its foggy wording and odd locution stand out in the Constitution," Waldman writes.
Back at foggy Bottom… More than three years after U.S. troops withdrew from Iraq, nation-building proceeds apace.
At foggy Bottom—admittedly a much smaller agency than Defense—only 340 employees have been sent home.
Captain Smith stared too, and sniffed at the wind as he had often done upon his deck on a foggy morning.
Though it was not foggy, the air was thick, and I could see nothing ahead.
He re-filled their champagne glasses, flung an arm sideways over his chair, and smiled at her with a foggy benevolence.
Then Oakum Otie sighed and melted away into the foggy gloom.
It might have been the middle of the night; but it wasn't—it was Guy Fawkes' Day, and eight o'clock on a foggy morning.
1540s, perhaps from a Scandinavian source, or formed from fog (n.1) + -y (2). Foggy Bottom "U.S. Department of State," from the name of a marshy region of Washington, D.C., where many federal buildings are (also with a suggestion of political murkiness) popularized 1947 by James Reston in "New York Times," but he said it had been used earlier by Edward Folliard of "The Washington Post."

THE great escape is well and truly on, according to Phil Simkin, as long as his Magpies can maintain the standards they have set themselves in their last two games.
The Dorchester Town boss made the admission following Saturday's 2-1 win at Tonbridge Angels where his side snatched victory in the dying seconds for the second match in succession.
This time it was Mark Jermyn that was the hero, steered home the winner deep into added-time, after Nick Crittenden had cancelled out Michael Bakare's opener in an even first half.
The result has taken the Magpies to within two points of safety in Skrill South but having played more games than most of the teams around them, their good form needs to continue.
Simkin told Echosport: "Three minutes of added-time had already elapsed before Jem got the winner.
"It was end-to-end throughout and for the neutral it must have been unbelievable stuff.
"With 10 minutes to go, we replaced Warren Byerley with Clive Makoni, and just went for it, and to claim the points with the last kick of the game again was just incredible.
"Alan Walker-Harris made some unbelievable saves and we really have now given ourselves a chance.
"We need to keep doing it, which is not going to be easy, but we are getting that rub of the green now that we weren't getting earlier in the season, and you can see the belief is there too.
"The players are going out there, believing they can win games now, and their confidence is growing every week.
"Over the last month, we have brought in the likes of Nathan Walker, Warren Byerley, Nathan Craig and Ashley Yeoman, who are all quality players at this level, and they have given us a real boost.
"Tonbridge are a decent side, make no mistake about that, but the lads ran themselves to a standstill and there is no doubt we deserved the win come the final whistle."
Simkin was delighted with the efforts of every single player on Saturday but he did pick out a few individuals for special praise.
He added: "Nathan Craig was unbelievable and I thought Nathan Walker and Warren Byerley were both outstanding.
"Warren got battered again all afternoon but he held the ball up superbly for us.
"Alan Walker-Harris was also fantastic and made a great save in the second half when they looked certain to score, and Nick Crittenden, at 35-years-old, was just incredible.
"We cannot do much more than what we are doing but we need to keep it going."
Next up for the Magpies is a home clash against Staines Town on Saturday (3pm).

Punjab National Bank Home Loan Review
Company Profile
PNB is the second largest government-owned commercial bank in India. The bank's assets for financial year 2007 were about US$ 60 billion. PNB Housing Finance Ltd. is a subsidiary Company of Punjab National Bank which has been registered under Companies Act, 1956. It has 30 branches all over the country. Its function is to carry on the business of providing long term finance for construction/purchase/repairs/renovation etc. of any house/flat/commercial properties /loans against properties apart from providing project financing.
Loan To Value Ratio – PNB Home Loan can be applied for a maximum of 80% of the property value subject to credit discretion and are accompanied by a specially-designed insurance cover. This feature is very much comparable to other products in the market; banks like ICICI and SBI offer loans up to 80% of the property value. Few banks are more lenient when it comes to loan to value ratio.
Tenure –
Home Loan Plan Max. Tenure Apna Ghar Yojana 20 years Ghar Sudhar Yojana 15 years
Interest Rate –
Under the Apna Ghar Yojana (long term finance for construction/purchase of any house/flat), for loan upto Rs. 20 lacs
Period Floating Rate of Interest (%) 3 yrs Fixed Rate of Interest (%) 1-15 yrs 9.25 13.00 16-20 yrs 9.50 13.00
For loan above Rs. 20 lacs
Period Floating Rate of Interest 3 yrs Fixed Rate of Interest (%) 1-15 yrs 10.00 13.00 16-20 yrs 10.00 13.00
Under the Ghar Sudhar Yojana (long term finance for repairs/renovation of any house/flat), for loan upto Rs. 20 lacs, extended out for a period of upto 15 years, floating rate of interest is charged @ 9.25% and for loans above Rs. 20 lacs, extended out for the same period, floating rate of interest is charged @ 10%.
Prepayment Charges – On prepayment of the loan, in part or full, a loan seeker is charged an early redemption charge of 2% of the amount being prepaid. This feature is very much comparable to IDBI and HDFC Bank's offering.
Processing Fees – A loan seeker will have to bear a processing and administrative fee of 1.5% of the Line of Credit facility applied for and such is payable at the time of submission of the application. This is higher when compared to IDBI Bank's processing fees charged @ 0.5% or Rs. 11, 000 whichever is lower.
Also a commitment charge of 1% per annum on the undrawn amount of the Line of Credit facility sanctioned is payable commencing six months from the date of acceptance of offer.Published on August 6, 2010 · Filed under: PUNJAB NATIONAL BANK HOME LOAN;

This fine and highly recommendable H. R. Pfretzschner violin bow is a personal piece made by Hermann Richard Pfretzschner, who studied with E. Sartory in Paris; it is a fine personal masterpiece by Hermann Richard closely following the concepts of the Sartory model. It bears the original H. R. Pfretzschner brandstamps on shaft and frog. Having a weight of 61.8 g this bow is in good weight. The octagonal stick is of fluid strength, tensed and elastic, a delicate, active player - the stick is made of remarkably beautiful light brown pernambuco wood. The ebony frog is silver mounted with Pearl eye and white shimmering pearl slide. The length is 74,3 cm, the bow has it's balance point centered, slightly inclined towards the head, measured at 27.7 cm from the frog end. This fine masterpiece by Hermann Richard Pfretzschner has an invisible repair to the stick, a surface chip that happened during the straightening, and is therefore offered at less than 50% of the normal price. It is in immediate playing condition, and like all Corilon violin bows worked over and ready to play.

Some of the best-known names in consumer electronics are getting together to set a new industry standard for the wireless distribution of high-definition TV content. And they're planning on having the standard, based around the Wireless Home Digital Interface (WHDI), signed, sealed and delivered by the end of this year.
Hitachi, Samsung, Sharp and Sony have joined forces with Israel-based semiconductor and wireless specialists Amimon and Motorola to develop the standard, which will cover multiroom audio, video and control connectivity without wires.
The group says that "A key ingredient of WHDI technology is a revolutionary video-modem that operates in the 5GHz unlicensed band to enable robust wireless delivery of uncompressed HD video (including 1080p).
"WHDI allows secure, encrypted HD video delivery through multiple rooms and other potential signal obstructions, such as people and furniture, while maintaining superb quality and robustness with less than one-millisecond latency."
The 'special interest group' formed by the companies will work "to enhance the current WHDI technology to enable wireless streaming of uncompressed HD video and audio between devices such as LCD and plasma HDTVs, multimedia projectors, AV receivers, DVD and BD players, set-top boxes, game consoles, and PCs."
More after the break
The new standard aims to ensure that devices from different companies will simply and directly connect to one another, and operate together seamlessly – just as the HDMI standard theoretically does for wired connections.

Belton pulled ahead with a 12-4 second quarter and led 19-15 at halftime, but Temple cut it to 35-34 entering the fourth quarter to make it game. Belton (6-8, 1-0 8-5A) held firm at the free throw line, shooting 16 of 23 for the game to seal it at the line. Temple was led with 18 points from Devin Penn.

Bolivian farmers step up protests
Bolivia's powerful farmers' union has agreed to join a week-old blockade of major roads to support coca growers, who are demanding an end to a government eradication campaign.
If the blockade is successful it will cut off the roads to the capital La Paz and other major cities around the country.
The government says illegal coca crops are used to produce cocaine, but the farmers say the coca is intended for traditional uses.
At least six farmers have died and 50 others have been injured in violent clashes with police trying to clear the blockade.
On Tuesday a police officer was killed and three others were wounded in an ambush.
Stand-off hardens
The blockade by coca growers, or "cocaleros", has been high-profile but so far relatively ineffectual.
Now, Evo Morales, the leader of the nation's coca growers, and Felipe Quispe, the leader of Bolivia's largest workers union, have joined forces.
Mr Morales, an indigenous member of congress, only narrowly lost last year's presidential election on his promise of support for coca growers.
If the blockade works, no fresh produce or fuel will be able to get in or out of La Paz and there will be no trade along the main routes to Chile or Peru.
Earlier this week, a new guerrilla group called the Army of National Dignity announced that it too will fight against the coca eradication campaign.
The government has dismissed the guerrillas as nothing more than a handful of disgruntled farmers, but correspondents say the dispute seems to be growing, not fading away.
The government has said it wants to negotiate, but it has also threatened to bring out the military to reopen the roads.

The Dallas Cowboys have instituted a strict set of off-the-field rules for troubled wide receiver Dez Bryant that includes a ban on strip club visits.
ESPN Dallas' Calvin Watkins reports the modern day 10 five commandments went into effect Aug. 23 when the Cowboys returned from training camp. Among the new rules for the third-year wideout:
-- Thou shalt not go to a strip club, nor any other club unless it's approved by the Cowboys. I'd have assumed going to a strip club was to Dez Bryant like oxygen is to most people, but the Cowboys seem certain that he'll pull through and survive the lack of grinding, perfume and overpriced drinks. On the bright side, he'll have a lot more singles for the vending machines at Valley Ranch.
-- Honor thy midnight curfew. Bryant turns into a felonious pumpkin if he's out past midnight and the Cowboys don't know about it.
-- Thou shalt not drink, nor covet the booze. Thus nullifying the need for the first two rules. The little-known addendum to the saying "nothing good happens after midnight," is "usually because you've been drinking." You know who doesn't get into trouble at strip clubs? Sober people. The main reason for this: Sober people don't go to strip clubs.
-- Thou shalt travel at all time with a one-man security detail. Watkins says a team of three guards will trade shifts so someone is with Bryant at all times. This may be a foolish decision on the Cowboys' part. For all his faults, Dez doesn't seem to have much trouble shedding one-on-one coverage. A double-team may be a more effective way to handle him
-- Thou shalt not take the name of Jerry Jones in vain. Watkins didn't report this rule, so we'll just assume it was thrown in there.
Bryant has yet to comment on the reported rules. His owner says he's agreeable to the terms.
"(He is) very open-minded and cooperative," Jerry Jones told reporters. "He's doing the right things by his teammates, and everybody is counting on him."

This is it
After a long time struggling with not being satisfied with my hair, locking and unlocking I finally cut it all off. I love it! I don't know why I didn't do it sooner. I feel great. When I cut it this low many years ago I struggled with feeling unfeminine, but I don't feel like that now at all. Perhaps because I am a little older I have more of an understanding of what it really is to be a woman, and for me right now, my hair length has nothing to do with it.
My daughter laughed at me when she saw me. :-) That doesn't bother me. She said I look like a boy wearing girl stuff. That doesn't bother me. She is 6, and through me, she will come to understand that even if she doesn't have long hair, she's still a girl.
My husband loves it. My hair was this length when we were first dating, and it reminds him of that time. :-D

A few pics for the curious
I just snapped a few pics. I am really not paying much attention to my hair. I can wash and go, which I love. I latch to maintain, which I do sporadically when I'm bored, not all at once. I'm taking it very easy. I don't really remember when I started, but I can see from a previous blog that I said I started in April or May, so this is around 6 months. I moved to North Carolina in September, and I'm still getting used to the differences here, even though it is something I really wanted to do. I miss my friends. I'm studying Spanish constantly, reading, listening, writing or talking in Spanish for much of my free time. I work from home now, instead of going in to an office. I spend a little more time with my daughter now, I'm with her after school, so I'm happy about that, even though sometimes I do want a break. I still want to lose weight. Nothing bad is happening in my life now, but I'm really not in the best of moods these days. I'm just glad that hair is not something I have to worry about.

She's baaaaaaack
Hi to all my wonderful followers. I sometimes wonder why you guys follow me -- I don't blog much at all, and I don't think that what I have to say is all that interesting. :-/
So I started my locks again. *sheepish grin* I did do the styles I wanted to do, but in the end, I guess loose hair is really not my thing, I found myself not wanting to do anything to my hair other than just wash it, and when your hair is loose, you have to do something to it after you wash it. It's been a few months since I started my locks. I don't even know when I started them exactly, sometime in April or May. I think I'm less uptight this time, I'm not continuously wondering when I'm going to be locked. I'm taking things a lot less seriously. I started with twists, and am latching to maintain.

It's been real
So I did it ... I took my dreadlocks out. I just knew that I really wanted to take them out, and have been wanting to take them out for months, and those voices just wouldn't go away. It wasn't that I hated my hair. I didn't. I loved my locks. I just wanted something else more. And it feels different this time. I didn't feel this desperation after my hair was out, this feeling of "Why did I do this?" "Not again!" I'm happy with my choice. And I feel I learned so much this time, went through my feelings of dissatisfaction with self, impatience, and caring about what other people thought about me. And it's only been a few days, but I am enjoying my afro. Right now, I'm not sure if I will try to lock again. My original reason for locking is that for me it was a low maintenance way to have long hair, but as my hair got to a length I was happy with, I realized that I'd rather loose long hair. So I will patiently try to get that loose long hair that I want.
For some reason, my daughter calls my new hair "rock star" hair. I have no idea what that means. But hey, she's 4. (ETA: I finally found out what rock star hair is. She watches Noggin / Nick Jr. The Roots perform a song on there, lol.). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mLtdHQeIZA
Thanks to everyone who supported me in this journey, especially Tam, Q (Kay), QueenLi, and Carmennc. It really meant a lot to me.
For more detail on what I did: I started in the back, I cut each lock to about 4 inches, then picked the rest out. I used the end of a lapel pin to pick the locks out. After a certain point, I started wearing a ponytail that gradually started looking thinner as the days went by, lol. I finished everything up this weekend. I had over 180 locks, and it took 3 weeks. I estimate that I spent an average of 20 minutes on each lock, which comes out to 60 hours total. Whew! After I had all the locks removed, I trimmed my own hair so it would be even all over by measuring with my fingers (kinda hard to explain). I now have 6 inches of hair when stretched, which I think is a great length for me right now. It's not too short (I eventually want to cornrow my hair, my technique needs work) but it's not too long to be overwhelming (I haven't combed my hair in almost 3 years).
For now I plan to try to grow my hair out. I'd love bra strap length hair if I can take care of it. I also would love to have relatively low maintenance natural hair, we'll see how that works out for me.
Please forgive the quality of the pics. They were taken with my phone (my regular camera's battery is kaput, and I can't find the charger).

Contemplating ...
For maybe a month or two I've been really wanting to take out my locks. This is why:
Why I haven't done it yet:
I am really low maintenance. I think this is the real reason I haven't done anything. Maybe I just need to style my hair again. Or try cornrows with my locks. Something exciting that looks good.
- My hair always gets in my way (e.g. during certain "activities")
- I want to do cornrows, and because I started my hair by just washing, I don't have nice parts.
- I miss my afro.
Why I haven't done it yet:
- My hair is long enough to flip it. I flip it all around when I do pole dancing or floor work.
- I took out two locks. Each lock took around 1 hour to remove, and the resulting hair was only around 6 inches long. Talk about shocking. Why is this? My hair was 10-12 inches when I started my locks.
- I am not adept at styling my hair. I want cornrows, but to do them neatly like I would want them would take forever. And I am allergic to hair stylists.
- I miss my afro, but I do not miss the time taking care of it entails.
I am really low maintenance. I think this is the real reason I haven't done anything. Maybe I just need to style my hair again. Or try cornrows with my locks. Something exciting that looks good.

More pics, and no longer freeform
So, I've latched my hair 3 or so times since November. I no longer consider myself freeform. I did it for a few reasons: boredom with my hair; got tired of separating my hair after every wash, but not wanting my hair to join together; and wanting to see a little more of the length that I have. My hair is still very low maintenance, I just wanted to do a little more to my hair.
Also, I had hair that appeared all along the front hairline. I eventually decided to make new baby locks by latching the hair together. That worked fine, and they are on their way. The only thing is that since they are super short compared to the rest of my hair, they stick up at the most inopportune times, lol.

Pipe Cleaner Curls
I did pipe cleaner curls on my hair and decided to share. Trying to stave off the boredom, because I usually don't do anything to my hair. I LOVE it in person, in pics, not so much. Sorry for the picture quality, these pics were taken with my phone.

ASTOR Blades
QIXX® is a unit for sharpening and deburing of knives. It works astonishingly simple and handy and activates almost every blade reliably and gentle.
By doing so, the blade is pulled between two combs of hard metal.
The hard metal combs are kept together by magnetic force. This magnetic force keeps dust and shavings well away, so that these can not reach the cutting good.
As the geometry on the blade sharpened by QIXX® does not change anymore only little shavings will remain by further sharpening. The durability of the blade is increased and the intervals of resharpening are longer. The wear of the blade is reduced to a minimum.
If the hard metal combs are moved away from each other it is a signal that unnecessary high pressure was applied.
QIXX® is of course also constructed for application in hygienic areas.
Cleaning and desinfection are to be carried out according to the valid hygiene directives.
QIXX® is offered as a pneumatic table unit for use outside hygienic areas and mainly for sharpening larger cutting tools.
BE Maschinenmesser GmbH
professional grinding machine with stand to grind knives for the meat industry
Large cup grinding attachement with Ø 250 with a strong pole changeable motor for pregrinding of the knives. The cup wheel kann be sharpened with a diamond wheel dresser and can be face grinded.
Handgrinding will be improved by using the optional offered grinding attachements for knives in sickle form and linear bowlcutterknives as well as for round knives.
The finish grinding of the knives will be executed by the help of a grinding band of 75 x 1600mm at a
contact disc, there are 2 switchable speeds to grind in an optimal way. During grinding the knife does not get overheated because of the long grinding band and the cooling. Due to the long grinding band and the cooling the knife gets not too warm during the grinding process. One can easily change the grinding band by the help of a quick fixation attachement. With the optional available grinding attachement for bowlcutterknives in sickle- and linear form the hand grinding is much easier.
The knife will be polished with the large lamellar brush Ø 250. The machine has large rests that enable the industrial use. Optional there is a cooling tank available that enables the necessary wet grinding of the knives.The cooling emulsion can be seperately regulated for the cupwheel and the grinding band.The machine is solid and has a stainless casing. So the machine is well equipped for the industrial use and easy to clean.

Emma Stone & Andrew Garfield Use The Paparazzi To Spread A Message

Like today, the couple was photographed strolling around NYC carrying signs directing people who eventually looked at the snaps — like y'all! — to support YouthMentoring.org, AutismSpeaks.org, WWO.org and GildasClubNYC.org. Cool use of their fame — and definitely nicer than flippin' the bird.

What does the Year of the Horse have in store for you health-wise? Photo: Vince Caligiuri
If you could see into the future, your health and wellbeing would be top of the list of things most of us would like to find out about. The Chinese, and many Westerners, turn to Chinese astrology to find the answers and predict the future.
The 12 animal signs, representing the year of birth are the most commonly known aspect of Chinese astrology, but it's just one small piece of the puzzle, says Chinese astrology expert Edgar Lok Tin Yung. "The month, day and hour of birth are also examined for the most accurate reading," he explains.
Each sign is also heavily influenced by one of the five elements; water, fire, metal, wood and earth. Lok Tin predicts that due to the strong fire element the Year of the Horse represents, an increase in a number of conditions can be expected regardless of your own personal sign.
"Fire clashes with water and fire controls metal. So the fire, water and metal elements are in conflict. These three elements translate into areas where the body may have issues. Doctors and hospitals can expect an increase in conditions of the heart, blood, eyes, small intestine, kidney, urinary system, prostate, respiratory system, lung and throat."
When it comes to the health horoscope for each individual animal sign, Lok Tin offers the following guidance.
Rat – 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008
This water sign has a positive attitude and kind heart. From a health perspective, issues with the eyes, heart, bladder prostate, urethra and kidney could be more common.
Ox – 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009
The hard working Ox is an earth sign and is considered to be trustworthy and honest. Close attention should be paid to any complaints with the digestive system.
Tiger – 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010
The Tiger is the socialite of the animal signs, also being the most energetic and ambitious. This wood sign should be mindful of conditions of the digestive system, heart and eyes.
Rabbit – 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011
The wood sign of the Rabbit takes a little longer to come out of their shell and prefers to be in the company of a stronger personality. In regards to their health the liver, hair, gall bladder, arms, legs and back are all areas they are prone to suffer with.
Dragon – 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012
Dragons are capable of absorbing large amounts of pressure - it's no wonder the biggest health issue with this earth sign is the muscles.
Snake – 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013
The smart thinking snake sign is extremely talented in anything they put their mind to. Being a fire sign, Snakes should take particular care of their respiratory and circulatory systems.
Horse – 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014
In the year of the Horse, this fire sign should be cautious of any issues with the eyes, small intestine or heart. Any health complaints are taken in their stride by the energetic Horse, who isn't afraid of difficulties.
Sheep (or Goat) – 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003
The stubborn sheep is another earth element, but they shouldn't ignore any complaints with heart, eyes or stomach.
Monkey – 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004
The cheeky Monkey is considered to be witty and protective. Issues with the respiratory system and small intestine are most common with this metal sign.
Rooster – 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005
The meticulous Rooster is details-focused and flexible in mind and body. When it comes to their health this metal sign is more prone to issues with the digestive and respiratory system.
Dog – 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006
The faithful dog is hard working and trustworthy. Being an earth element they are more inclined to suffer from complaints with any of the water or fire systems of the body including blood, eyes, small intestine, kidney, urinary system and prostate.
Pig – 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007
The animal sign of the Pig is honest and compassionate but also shy. This water sign should pay particular attention to caring for their liver.

Tokyo (UPI) Jun 21, 2011
Officials of tsunami-prone areas of Japan say they need a clear definition of the height of "the largest possible tsunami" predicted by a government panel.
Local administrators have asked the country's central government for clarification of the maximum height of the largest possible tsunami cited by an expert panel of the Central Disaster Management Council, The Yomiuri Shimbun reported Tuesday.
The council, in analyzing the March 11 earthquake and subsequent tsunami, warned of the possibility of a "gigantic" tsunami up to two times the size of what was previously believed to be the largest possible tsunami.
The panel is urging the central and local governments to work out measures that can deal with "the largest scientifically possible tsunami."
The Nagoya municipal government says it is concerned about what would happen if earthquakes in several of Japan's seismically active regions were to occur in conjunction.
"We want the central government to present its estimate of tsunami size soon so that we can reinforce wave barriers and reexamine hazard maps," a city official said.
earlier related report
The 9.0-magnitude earthquake and tsunami created an estimated 25 million tonnes of waste, "countless quantities" of which swept out to sea when the wave receded, Robin des Bois (Robin Hood) said.
The debris includes dense forms as diverse as planes, ships, cars and chemical tanks, which after sinking will become an inshore hazard for trawlers and the environment by leaking oil, fuel and industrial fluids, it said.
Thick mats of floating wood and plastic will take between one and two years to cross the Pacific and then split into two large patches, the group said in a report dated May 31.
One will head northwards parallel to the eastern Pacific coast, drifting on the Alaskan Current.
The other will head southwards, floating on the California Current.
Part of this southerly debris will split off, joining a gentle vortex of well-documented waste in the eastern Pacific that is called the Eastern Garbage Patch.
The rest of the southern branch will then head back across the Pacific under the North Equatorial Current, which will take it to the so-called Western Garbage Patch.
"The entire voyage around the North Pacific could take around 10 years," Robin des Bois said.
It pointed to many hazards for the environment, including the breakup of plastic into tiny particles called "plastic plankton" which accumulates in the food chain.
In March, a computer model devised by researchers at the International Pacific Research Center at the University of Hawaii predicted Hawaiian beaches would see the first pieces of debris washing up around a year after the disaster.

Japan marks three months since tsunami with protests

Sixty-one year old Ella Edwards wants to retire, but with a grandson to provide for, she can't.
Plus, she's making payments on her dead son's student loans.
When Jermaine Edwards started college to study music production, his mother agreed to co-sign his student loans. When Jermaine died of natural causes at the age of 24, he left behind a son and three student loans. The two federal loans were forgiven within months of his death.
The private loan, however, refuses to forgive the debt.
Now, the Michigan grandmother's petition on Change.org has nearly 200,000 signatures, all demanding that the company forgive the loans and change their policies.
"He was paying the loan bills when he died, but the balance is still over $10,000, and if I'm ever a couple days late on a payment, the calls keep coming until I pay," Edwards reportedly told ABC News.
It was only months after he died that the loan company began pestering Edwards for the money. "That's when American Education Services (AES) and National Collegiate Trust (NCT) turned my son's dream into a nightmare for me and the two year old son he left behind," Edwards wrote in the Change.org petition.
Edwards wrote in the petition that she was so depressed after her son's death that she could barely get out of bed. She has since been under medical care. While she works, the money is "not enough to cover the bills."
"I am 61 years old and I have been trying to work to make Jermaine's loan payments…but I simply don't have the money," Edwards wrote. "To make matters worse, Jermaine left behind a young son whose mother doesn't have many resources. Therefore, she relies on me to help support Jermaine's son."
Jermaine's son was two years old when his father died.
The petition directed to the institutions includes a letter calling for forgiveness of the loan.
"I'm horrified at your institution's practice of hounding a dead student's family for repayment of student loans he'll never get a chance to use," the letter reads. "I'm calling on you to do the only humane thing – let this still-grieving mother mourn the loss of her only son in peace. I stand with the Ella Edwards family and decent people everywhere in demanding that you discharge Jermaine Edwards' student loan debt today."
Edwards comments, "I suffer every day, and I started the petition because I don't want any other mom to suffer like I am. People need to be aware these private loan people will come after you like a shark. I would advise people never to get a private loan until the law changes."
Do you think that the loans should be forgiven?

Immigration minister Damian Green last week announced that new rules will soon come into force that will help to reduce abuse of the student visa route and ensure that only "the brightest and the best students" can stay and work in the UK. The most controversial of the new rules is undoubtedly the abolition of the post-study work visa from April this year. This visa allowed self-financing students from India and other non-EU countries to work in the UK for two years after their studies were completed.
The British Council and Universities UK have voiced their strong opposition to the upcoming changes, over concern that Britain will lose its appeal as a study destination for students from other countries. International students are estimated to contribute more than 14 billion pounds a year to the UK economy and recent reports indicate that there is already a decline of 30% in applications from the Indian sub-continent alone.
The British Council presented a detailed report titled 'Impact of Visa Changes on Student Mobility and Outlook for the UK' to the government, saying: "Students from certain countries who mainly study postgraduate courses in the UK – such as India, Pakistan and others — will be affected by the removal of the post-study work visa."
The Council has called for an urgent review of the changes, particularly the closure of the popular post-study work visa from April this year.
Nicola Dandridge, chief executive of Universities UK has said about the matter: "We support the elimination of abuse in the visa system but are concerned that an unintended consequence of the changes to Tier 4 is that legitimate students will be put off, or prevented from studying in the UK".
She added: "We are particularly concerned about limited provision for post-study employment in the new rules. We recognise that unrestricted access to the labour market is not possible in the current economic climate, but the new rules risk having a disproportionate impact on particular sectors, regions and professions, and reducing the global talent pool from which employers can recruit".
According to the National Union of Students, over 75% of international students surveyed said that the option of the post-study work in the UK was "a very important factor in deciding to study in the UK".

If you are an investor of any type, you likely have a story about the big fish that got away. Maybe it is a company that you owned and sold for a 30% gain, only to watch it go up tenfold over the next five years.
Can you imagine being someone who bought Apple (OTC:APPL) when Steve Jobs came in, and after having sold it for a 30% gain, watched it continually double over the next ten years? Or how about having owned shares in Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A) and sold after some unknown young man took over a textile company and started spending cash acquiring unrelated businesses? If you are an investor, you likely have such a story.
I've got a few, and it looks like a new big fish that got away from me is Cobalt International (NYSE:CIE). Cobalt is a company that entered the public domain with nothing but a big pile of cash and a bunch of highly prospective deepwater leases on which to drill for oil. The business model really is the essence of high risk and high reward.
The business model is to go out into the middle of the ocean and drill a well that costs over $100 million, with a success rate that is likely somewhere around 1 in 5. The prospect sizes are enormous, so if they hit oil, chances are, it is going to be a monster find. However if you don't hit oil, you have just flushed $100 million down the toilet.
The business model of Cobalt does not fit well with my investing style. I try and stick to instances where a company has measurable asset value that supports the current enterprise value and therefore, protects me from a permanent loss of capital. Of course, along with this downside protection, I want some upside potential. The concept is that if things work out on the upside that is great, but if the upside doesn't work out, I don't lose too much either. I've borrowed the concept from Hedge Fund manager Monish Pabrai, and he calls it "Heads I win, tails, I don't lose much".
Cobalt has always had the upside potential and then some, but there is no downside protection, as there is no guarantee that there is any oil on their lease blocks. So, since Cobalt violates my investing philosophy, how did I come to own it in the first place? For that, I can thank BP (NYSE:BP) and their blown Macondo well which, in 2010, cratered the stock prices of every company with operations in the Gulf of Mexico. I unfortunately already owned a company focused on the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, so I was familiar with all of the players. I felt that the stock market overreacted to the oil spill, and bought a basket of Gulf of Mexico stocks that included Cobalt.
That strategy worked out well for me, and I sold the entire basket within a year for some nice gains. Cobalt worked out particularly well, as it bounced from $7 to the low teens. I wish I'd held on longer. Cobalt really got down to the business of drilling its giant set of prospects late in 2011. And the first big prospect offshore Africa is a huge success.
Here are the high level details:
The results of this wire line evaluation program confirmed the presence of a 1,180 foot (360 meter) gross continuous oil column with over a 75% net to gross pay estimate. No gas/oil nor oil/water contact was evident on the wire line logs.
The DST flowed at an un-stimulated sustained rate of 5,010 barrels per day of 44-degree API gravity oil and 14.3 million cubic feet per day of associated gas (approximately 7,400 BOEPD) with limited drawdown. The flow rate, which was restricted by surface equipment, facility and safety precautions, confirmed the presence of a very thick, continuous, high quality reservoir saturated with light oil.
Joseph H. Bryant, Cobalt's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said "Cameia is an extraordinary success. The results have exceeded our pre-drill expectations and have increased our confidence in our entire West Africa Pre-salt exploration inventory. We will immediately commence our Cameia appraisal program."
James W. Farnsworth, Cobalt's Chief Exploration Officer, added that "This test confirmed the presence of a world-class quality carbonate reservoir at Cameia. The presence and quality of reservoir had been our key play and prospect risk prior to drilling. Based upon our analysis of the test data, if not limited by the test equipment on the rig, we believe the well would have the potential to produce in excess of 20,000 barrels of oil per day. In addition, we have yet to drill our deeper targets at Cameia, which if successful will provide additional upside potential.
Cobalt which was trading for $7 when I bought in 2010; it is now over $30, and I have missed most of this ride. Cobalt is a bit of an extreme example, because it was such a high risk and high reward situation. However, it expresses why I'm so attracted to investing in oil and gas companies. There is no business where the value of a company can change so dramatically with one successful event. With this successful well, Cobalt has created billions of dollars in shareholder value and added multiples to its stock price. A company selling clothes or providing financial services can't double in value in one day. An oil and gas explorer can.
What I try to do to exploit this benefit of investing in oil and gas companies is to buy companies that are trading at a discount to their known reserves and production and also have some high impact exploration opportunities that could drastically increase shareholder value, if successful. That way, even if the exploration opportunities don't pan out I don't lose much money on my investment, because the already discovered reserves and production support the current share price.
I wouldn't jump into Cobalt right now after this good news, but I'd keep an eye on it. This well was just one of many that the company will be drilling that target these monster structures. What an investor might consider doing is waiting until one of these exploration wells results in a duster, after which the share price will surely decline and may present a more compelling entry point. There could be more steep changes in shareholder value in the future for Cobalt.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

Getting there
Access to Amud stream is from Karmi'el Route—Meron Junction, about 1.5 km [0.9 mile] north to Moshav Kefar-Shama'I (Route 866 between km stones 41 and 40). [1] The one-km access road turns east until reaching a parking lot [2]. Follow a footpath marked red in the footpath marking that leaves the parking and leads to the stream.
Fee included for entering the route. The site's telephone no. is 046999984.
Hiking starts next to a concrete British police outpost named Ein a-Tina that used to guard the route to the spring water. After going down on a quite long descent we shall arrived to a flourmill that up until the twentieth century was activated by water energy for milling grains. The mill was built next to a spring called Ein Yakim that feeds the stream [3]. From here we could chose either to walk on the right or left bank of the stream. Whatever choice you'd take, remember to walk on the opposite side when you'll return back.
Continue east with the stream. The beautiful orchards along the stream had been once tended by the Arab residents of this area. Now they are irrigated by stream water cannels and concrete pools. Today maintenance work to tend the orchards is done by INPA employees who in a manner similar to that of the Jerusalem mountains' spring Sataf, exercise simple methods of ancient terrace agriculture.
In our way we shall meet with a fulling mill which means workshop for the wool processing industry one of the Jews of Tsfat's main pursuit. The same as the flourmill, the work of the fulling mill was also based on water energy for moving huge wooden fulling stocks [wooden hummers] that pounded the wool [scouring], at one point of its processing.
We are certainly going to meet in our path with the many water-pools. It is most recommended to enter them and wet your feet in the water but more important is not to trash garbage behind you.
Even if you aren't going to arrive here during spring, most chances are that you'll find many kinds of flowers that illuminate the stream with their blossoming. The place is the largest habitat in Israel of common ivy which can be seen twined upon fences, trees, and stone walls. in the slopes and down in the valleys there are spots of common myrtle, but the unique fauna of Amud stream does not end with its plants – rather if forms some varied habitats: it has a convoluted jungle of Mediterranean forest, scrubland of typical batha that grows on its slopes, and a yearlong shrub-steppe on the foots of its crags down the stream. The flora on the riverbed is also varied: beginning in the upper part of the stream, in the fountain area, there is a lush of oriental plane trees and common willows, and with the decreasing of its water, the oleanders take command while only lilac caste tree and Christ thorns jujube grow on its arid areas.
After about a 1.5-km [0.9 mile] walk we shall meet with the Sechvi pool [4], the place where the two streams join together where you can find some rest, swim in the water, and mostly – enjoy the shadow supplied by the huge oriental plane trees, certainly because they are the biggest wild trees in Israel. Along this part of our tour we shall meet with cactus fences, fig trees, pomegranates, olives, Judah's trees, as well as sweet bay, which is usually known after its folkloristic name, laurel.
Many animals also follow their path to water in the area. Apart from porcupines, bores, hyraxes, jackals, foxes, and chukar partridges, in the not so far past the Anatolian leopard, a small size subspecies, was also been seen in this area, but unfortunately the last documentation of this specie is from 1964 from when it was hunted.
Tips for Continuing the Itinerary
From here you can choose one of possible ways to prolong your trip:
Continue south with Amud stream in a footpath marked black another 4 km [2.5 miles] and then climb east with a footpath marked blue to Tsfat – the best recommended itinerary for it allow returning back with public transportation.

Winery website: http://www.siestawines.com.ar/
Bonarda, or Bonadra Piemontese, is a red grape that is primarily grown in Argentina. While it started off in the Piedmont region of Italy, it's rarely found there anymore. Luckily for us, however, it has flourished in Argentina and now makes for a very nice wine experience. In fact, up until somewhat recently, it was Argentina's most widely-planted grape.
Technical Data:
- Production area: La Vendimia, in Rivadavia, Mendoza
- Elevation of vineyards: 2,297 feet
- Harvest dates: Last week of March
- Maceration: Pre-fermentation cold maceration
- Total time of maceration: 21 days
- Temperature of fermentation: Between 82-86 °F
- Cooperage: 70% spends 10 months in oak – 50% French – 50% American (45% new, 55% 2nd and 3rd use)
- Alcohol: 13.7 % by volume
- Residual sugar: 2.1 g/l
- pH: 3.80
- Price: $18
Nose: Very "syrah-like" on the nose in that it has notes of fresh game, black peppercorns, blackberry, leather and plums.
Taste: This is a wonderful wine for the money and frankly one that should be quickly saught out by wine lovers of a more acid-driven wine. It has gorgeous dark fruit notes that combine with spice, tobacco and dark chocolate but a stellar cast of acidity that plays along with it. The mid palate is refreshing and full at the same time – the finish BEGS me to finish the entire bottle asap.

Perry Listed Among USA's Worst Governors by Activist Group
CREW, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a left-leaning activist group, today named Rick Perry as one of the six worst governors in the country, 1200 WOAI news reports.
CREW cited what it said was 'widespread cronyism' in the Perry Administration, appointing hundreds of campaign donors to state posts and raising millions of dollars in campaign funds from his appointees and their spouses.
CREW executive director Melanie Sloan tells 1200 WOAI news that the governor's Texas Enterprise Fund and Texas Emerging Technology Fund, two Perry-controlled funds to be used to help lure new businesses to Texas, are ripe with cronyism.
"State funded and giving money to most of Rick Perry's friends and cronies and campaign donors," she said.
The CREW report also cited what it alls a 'lack of transparency' in Perry's official duties, deleting official e-mails every seven days, and failing to release the governor's daily schedule or who stays overnight at the Governor's Mansion.
They also cite the fact that in 2011, Perry convinced the Legislature to allow him to keep his security costs secret for 18 months, a period of time which covered huge costs racked up by the team during his unsuccessful run for President.
But the number one complaint that CREW has against Perry is his 'double dipping.'
"In 2011, Gov. Perry began taking advantage of an obscure provision in Texas law which allows him to begin taking pension benefits for previous positions, which simultaneously continuing to collect his governor's salary," Sloan said. "But at the same time, he signed a bill making it harder for public school teachers to engage n a similar practice by instituting a required 12 consecutive month break in service after retirement before returning to draw a full time salary as a state employee."
It is the second straight year that Perry has made CREW's list of the country's worst governors.
All six of the governors labeled as the worst by CREW are Republicans, but Sloan says Democrats, including Democratic Party rising star Andrew Cuomo of New York, are cited in the report as in the second tier of the 'worst' governors.

Walkers of all ages will take steps to advance the fight against heart disease and stroke and support the local American Heart Association on Saturday, Oct. 6 at Cheney Stadium. Almost 2,000 walkers are expected, including survivors of heart disease and stroke, corporate teams, and community teams honoring a loved one.
Heart disease and stroke are two of the leading killers in America. Although death rates have gone down by an incredible 25-percent in the last decade, one out of three Americans has some form of cardiovascular disease, and too many are still living with preventable risk factors, including lack of physical activity, diabetes, and obesity.
"I am thrilled to see the South Sound Heart and Stroke Walk at Cheney Stadium this year," said Aaron Artman, chair for the 2012 and 2013 walks and president, Tacoma Rainiers. "With so many people affected by cardiovascular disease, this walk not only honors survivors but inspires everyone to lead heart-healthy lifestyles as well. With the incredible support from our community, we know that we will be taking a step forward in the effort to save lives."
The South Sound Heart and Stroke Walk, formerly known as the Pierce County Heart Walk, is the largest community event for the American Heart Association in South Sound, and the goal is to raise awareness and funding for cardiovascular research to improve prevention, diagnosis and treatment. Under Artman's leadership, organizers hope to raise $240,000.
The Heart and Stroke Walk is a non-competitive event, with four-mile and one-mile options. There will also be a children's and survivor's parade around the perimeter of Cheney Stadium shortly before the walk begins at 9:30 a.m. Community members interested in participating can sign up online at www.southsoundheartwalk.org or by calling the American Heart Association in Tacoma at (253) 272-7854. There is no registration fee; donations only.
The South Sound Heart and Stroke Walk is nationally sponsored by Subway and Jenny Craig, and locally sponsored by MultiCare Health System, Columbia Bank, General Plastics, and Union Bank.
