Trim, toned and tantalising – that's what a traditional Thai treatment does for her.
The setting is a languid tropical beachside. But the massage is far from languid. She gets a thorough and insistent workout over her entire body. She is stretched and stroked all the way from the soles of her feet to the crown of her head, not forgetting her breasts. That's how she keeps the hot glow and aura of her beauty.
The reward is deep-down satisfaction and the perfection of her form.

They follow 10 first-wave trusts, who took up foundation status in April.
The hospitals will remain part of the NHS, but will have more control over their budgets. Critics say this will lead to a two-tier NHS.
Among the cities which will have a new trust with foundation status are Cambridge, Sunderland, Derby, London, Sheffield and Birmingham.
However, an application from Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre NHS Trust - one of the top centres of excellence in its field - was refused.
The new foundation trusts will be able to retain surplus cash and borrow to invest in services.
"There are now 20 NHS Foundation Trusts, representing around 15% by turnover of the acute trust hospitals in England, operating with autonomy, delivering
national health priorities but with greater accountability to local needs."
However, he said the Nuffield centre could not be given foundation status as there were question marks about its long-term viability in a new era of payment by results - raising fears about how well specialised units will cope in the future.
Costs at the Nuffield unit at 22% above the national average, and managers are concerned that the new NHS tariff - which stipulates how much can be charged per operation - does not reflect the extra complexity of its workload.
A decision on whether to grant foundation status to two further applicants - Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Trust and King's College Hospital NHS Trust, London - has also been deferred by the regulator.
The 10 new NHS Foundation Trusts treat around 3.9 million patients each year, employ around 58,000 staff and have a combined turnover of £2.8bn. All have three stars under the government's rating system.
Peter Dixon, University College London Hospitals NHS Trust chairman, said: "I see foundation status offering us unique opportunities to work with our members and our local community to decide how we can provide top quality patient care, excellent education and world class research."
However, Liberal Democrat health spokesman Paul Burstow said: "The seeds of a two-tier
NHS are being sown by this fresh wave of foundation trusts.
"The evidence is that the first wave of foundation hospitals are not involving or exciting local people. This is a failed exercise in democratising the NHS.
"More foundation trusts will do nothing to cut the red tape that is tying the hands of doctors and nurses, preventing them from getting on with the job of treating patients.
"A foundation trust's limited freedoms are earned at a price. It's about hitting Whitehall targets, achieving the star rating, and going through the hoops that ministers set."
In contrast, Andrew Lansley, for the Tories, said the government was "missing a golden opportunity".
"They are only offering foundation status to a few hospitals and they have watered down their freedoms almost to the point that they are meaningless.
"Hospitals need real freedoms to be able to respond to patients' needs, otherwise healthcare standards will not rise.
"Even after today's announcement, only 20 of the 289 NHS Trusts have been awarded foundation status.
"As a result, the great majority of doctors, nurses and patients will not even enjoy the limited benefits of the government's foundation hospitals."

(I'd like to take this time to preach: conversate is NOT a word, despite Beyonce's ubiquitous usage).
So I'm originally from NorCal and came down to SD to get away from everything (mainly the parents). Almost a decade later, I landed an awesome job at a high school teaching kids Spanish and Government and now find myself a permanent resident of San Diego; I finally changed my voter registration to SD, so this shit got real.
I graduated from SDSU in three years. I got my BA in Political Science for the sole reason that I liked politics. Originally wanting go to work in campaigns, after I realized how dirty they were, I changed plans. I enrolled at SDSU again and got a credential in Social Science. As no one hires history teachers, I also added Spanish to my credential. And while I did speak it growing up (mom's side is from Guatemala), my Spanish is far from perfect. But now I'm a very marketable teacher. And soon to be principal. Maybe. I'm at USD finishing up my admin credential. Doing that whole night class thing while working full time. I thought about getting a Masters in Leadership Studies, but really, wtf does that even mean? Plus even though USD is a beautiful campus, having Jesus stare at you in every classroom is just offputting for me coming from public school.
I'm happily living in the real adult world, and have happily had my 'shit together' for years: car, my own place, and a job and an education. My next goals are learning how to become a better teacher and have a relationship (I realize the latter one is corny, but they've actually done studies that show similar brain responses for people in love and for people under the influence of heroin...there is a tangible reason for wanting it!...and I'm not about the drugs :p).
Random things about me: I'm extremely easy going, and I know a lot of random facts. Like did you know salicylic acid, a common
acne-fighting ingredient, is aspirin? Or that plants can have
fevers? You'll notice in everyday conversation that I pull from my
ADD memory bank. I love to learn and I'm a sponge for information. I can spend hours reading and clicking hyperlinks on Wikipedia. I also love asking questions and learning about different people and their perspectives.
And yes, I realize the username is ridiculous. But I've had it since seventh grade and I find it memorable. It also seems fitting to my dietary choices. And I'm too lazy to come up with new usernames.
I'm a vegetarian. I do eat dairy products and eggs. I'm not
hard core healthy (I have a fetish for french fries), but I just
came to the realization that killing animals for meat wasn't nice
in 6th grade during the family Thanksgiving get-together. That went over REALLY well.
I am pretty far left politically. But I love having conversations
with all ends of the political spectrum. I hate Democrats and
Republicans equally. Lately I've actually been terribly
disenchanted with politics and have been reading socialist theory.
I keep up with the news and current events. I read a lot online and listen to NPR in the car. But the world just keeps sucking more and more, it seems. Imperialist wars, no money for working people, budget cuts, foreclosures...sad stuff.
I have recently been trying to expand my social circle.
Between working 40 hours and napping (I have a problem, we can talk about this later), I have decided to make more of an effort to meet new people. And while dating would be nice, I am very open to making new friends and people to hang out with. So say hi, even if you have no intention of ever seeing me naked.
I have come to the conclusion that the only two places to meet
other gay guys is online or at a club. Not so into the latter. So
let's try this e-dating thing. At least it's free, right?
I bounce around from topic to topic in a conversation. I'd imagine this makes me interesting or hard to understand.
I ask a lot of questions and am pretty good at getting people to talk about themselves.
I am pretty high-energy and like to smile.
My eyes because they're some weird green blue mix. A very 'urban' student once said they were the color of money.
My teeth. When I worked retail, people would mention them. I guess $2,000 in orthodontia paid off. Thanks mom.
My most recent: Mindy Kaling's "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?" Legitimate laugh-out-louds.
Nickel and Dimed, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Poppy (yes, the book about a mouse you read in 5th grade).
TV shows: Walking Dead, Casual, Shameless, Scandal, Newsroom, Veep, Revenge, Ally McBeal, True Blood (basically crack in visual form), Grey's Anatomy, Nurse Jackie, V,.
Movies: V for Vendetta I think is one of the best movies I've ever seen. So is Pan's Labyrinth. Love Actually is a good romantic comedy. I love documentaries. PBS' Frontline makes some great ones. I prefer to watch movies with people because I often don't understand what's happening half the time.
Music: Think Christina Aguilera, Mandy Moore...yea. It's bad. It's gay. Ask to see my Spotify Playlist. I have one playlist for me and another for when I'm around other people so they don't kill me.
Food: Well I'm a vegetarian, so I could probably eat a veggie burger and fries daily. I crave fries a lot. I also frequent frozen yogurt places. Do not equate health and vegetarianism. Pizza is also a favorite. I used to drink Dr. Pepper daily. I have since cut back to once a week. My metabolism is not what it used to be!
the Internet
my cell phone
daily naps
GPS (I get lost so often...sometimes I can't find my car after I parked it...)
Or if you think we'd have fun galavanting around San Diego.
Or if you're looking at my photos and thinking happy thoughts.
And if you know the difference between your and you're. (i.e. if you message me "your cute" I am under a moral obligation not to respond).

Missing kneeboarder in Clutha River
Missing kneeboarder in Clutha River
At about 3.30pm today Balclutha Police were notified of a jetboating kneeboarding accident on the Clutha River in the Waitahuna confluence area.
Information was that a family had been on the river in the vicinity kneeboarding with their sons when one of the sons fell from the kneeboard and did not surface as expected.
Immediate efforts by those on board failed to locate the male and police were called. Following this the Dunedin Rescue Helicopter was dispatched with a paramedic and swift water specialist staff on board. Six local jetboaters assisted and will continue until 9pm to comb the river in attempts to locate the missing person.
Local search and rescue volunteers have been called in to assist the jetboaters and conduct river bank searches. Five Police staff and over 30 volunteers have been working to locate the missing male.
The family have also had the assistance of a friend's helicopter which has been used to search the areas down stream of the last reported sighting.
Efforts have been hampered by the high level of the river and the poor visibility as a result of spilling from the headwaters.
Further co-ordinated search teams and jet boats will be deployed into the area again tomorrow to continue the search for the missing male.

What effect does Instagram deal have on Facebook's IPO?
Q: Will Facebook's purchase of Instagram affect the social-media company's initial public offering?
Sponsored Links
A: Facebook has started to show it's no longer a social-media site in Google's shadow, but a force to be reckoned with. And it's making this known amid its massive initial public offering.
Facebook surprised the tech world on April 10 when it agreed to buy mobile photo-sharing site Instagram for $1 billion. It's a whopping valuation that puts a price tag on Instagram above the $920 million value of the New York Times Co. (NYT).
There's no question some critics say Facebook overpaid for Instagram, best known for its mobile software app.
And there's no question, Facebook will need to update the balance sheet it submitted as part of its filing for the IPO. If nothing else, the company will need to subtract part of the purchase price from its cash holdings. Facebook reports cash and short-term investments of $3.9 billion, so the purchase of Instagram is clearly significant.
By buying Instagram, Facebook will have more shareholders at the table looking to cash in from the IPO. Part of the deal was done in cash, how much is undisclosed, so any value unlocked of Facebook after the IPO will need to be cut into more pieces and shared with Instagram investors.
But with that said, there are some potential benefits, too. Facebook's prospectus shows the company is still behind in the mobile Internet business. Adding Instagram will go a long way to get Facebook into the mobile Internet game.

(CNSNews.com) – Though President Barack Obama repeatedly has said he inherited a fiscal mess from his predecessor George W. Bush, Obama's nominee to serve as deputy budget director conceded to a Senate panel last week that none of Bush's budgets had as high a debt as Obama's do.
During the Senate confirmation hearing on March 17, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), ranking Republican on the Senate Budget Committee, grilled Heather Higginbottom – who was nominated last January to be deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget – about the Obama administration's claims that the president's 10-year budget proposal does not add to the national debt.
"In years 8, 9 and 10 it [Obama's budget proposal] goes up every year and reaches approximately $900 billion from $600 billion, as a low point in the entire 10 years," Sessions said. "The highest debt Bush ever had was $450 billion. You don't have a single year when the budget falls below $600 billion do you?
Higginbottom did not dispute Sessions' assessment.
"That's correct, and Senator, both the president and the director have talked repeatedly about these being the first steps we need to take, and we need to come together in a bipartisan fashion as the chairman and some of his other colleagues are doing to look at these long-term issues. So this isn't the end of the road," Higginbottom said. "The president's budget is the first step in the budget process."
If confirmed, Higginbottom would serve under OMB Director Jack Lew.
But Republicans on the committee question her qualifications for the job.
A news release from the Republicans on the Senate Budget Committee, said Wednesday that previous OMB deputy directors came to the job with an average of 6.5 years of direct budget experience. However, Higginbottom has none.
In a pre-hearing questionnaire, she conceded that she has no formal training or direct experience in budgeting or finance, according to Republican budget committee staff.
Lew praised Higginbottom's qualifications in a Jan. 7 statement after Obama nominated her, citing her other administration and political positions.
"Many of us at OMB know Heather from her work as Deputy Director of the Domestic Policy Council In that position, she has played an integral role on issues ranging from education to poverty to food safety," Lew said.
"Before she joined the administration, Heather was the policy director for Obama for America. She came to that job after eight years working in the US Senate for Sen. John Kerry, culminating in serving as his legislative director. Heather also founded and served as executive director of the American Security Project, a national security think tank," Lew added.
CNSNews.com reported in February that Obama was not telling the truth when he said, "On the budget, what my budget does is to put forward some tough choices, some significant spending cuts, so that by the middle of this decade our annual spending will match our annual revenues."
He added, "We will not be adding more to the national debt. So, to use a sort of an analogy that families are familiar with, we're not going to be running up the credit card anymore."
However, Obama's own OMB in the proposed 2012 budget increases the debt every year for the next decade and does not spend less than it takes in any of the next 10 years, according to the OMB. (See page 171, Table S-1 and page 203, Table S-14.)
During the hearing, Sessions grilled Higginbottom about statements from Obama and Lew that the president's fiscal year 2012 budget plan, that projects out 10 years.
"This happens to be President Obama's statement: We will not be adding more to the debt," Sessions said. "He is referring to this budget, the one that he has submitted to us and stated to the American people, and Mr. Lew has stated to the American people that we will not be adding more to the debt. Is that a correct statement or not?"
Higginbottom began to answer, "What both the director and the president are referring to is--"
Sessions said, "No, I asked you, heard by the American people, is that a true statement or not?"
Higginbottom did not know what the American people would interpret.
"I can't express how the American people would hear that," she told Sessions. "What I can say is of course the interest payments on the debt will add to the debt."
Later in the hearing, Higginbottom said, "I'd like to explain what they are referring to. Both the president and the director are referring to an effort to pay for the programs the government's operating costs as they're proposed. That's a concept of primary balance which I know you and the director have discussed. That notion doesn't speak to the interest payments. When the president came to office it was a $1.3 trillion deficit. We have to borrow money to pay on that deficit."
Sessions responded, "Did Mr. Lew or the president of the United States, when they made that statement, we will not be adding to the debt, did they say, by the way American people, what we really meant is some arcane idea about not counting interest payments that the United States must make as part of our debt? Did they say that?"
Higginbottom answered, "I'm not sure exactly what they did say."

This product has been retired from our catalog and is no longer for sale. This page is made available for those looking for datasheets and the simply curious.
Description: Replacement: COM-09636. We are discontinuing this line of Luxeon LEDs. We will no longer carry them. We will no longer stock it. This page is for reference only.
The field proven technology of Luxeon LEDs comes to the SFE masses! This**5Watt LED (yes, 1A peak, 6.8V forward voltage) is bright. So bright, we're afraid to hook one up. 4 times the lumen output of the standard 1Watt Luxeons.
Note: Philips has removed the datasheet for this, so unfortunately we don't have one to offer.
WOW Bright! After working with it for 10 minutes I was seeing spots for the next hour. Does require at least 5.5V to fire and intensity reduces if you pulse on for .0008 s or less (just a good safety measure).

Flying death's heads
I'd just dropped Greta off at her dance class. What better way to spend an hour on a dreary November day than in a cemetery?
The Westerly Burial Ground on Centre Street in West Roxbury is a sort of vest-pocket cemetery- sandwiched between a small factory, a Walgreens and a commuter-rail line. And it offers a rare glimpse of West Roxbury's long history - it opened in 1683; the last burial was in an old family plot in 1945.
The flying death's heads of the 1600's and 1700's gave way to willow trees and urns:
This is not a lamb I'd want to tangle with in a dark alley:
Not all of the tombstones have withstood time - or vandals - well:
See who's buried in the Westerly cemetery - When you click on the link, select Westerly Burying Grounds from the dropdown list.

Good pics! Though I haven't done any graveyard viewing in recent years, I remember running across an example of the very rare 3 toed angel (no, I'm not putting you on...:) in an old cemetery on Main st in Windsor Vermont. I was informed by my "playmate" at the time that it was one of only 6 or 7 known 3 toed angels in New England. she didn't say where the others were. I've got a picture of it someplace...I'll hafta see if I can find it. Walt

One problem here is where you think Stata is looking for saved results such as r(p1). Either non-missing values are accessible because they were left behind by some _previous_ command; or Stata will use missing values, which in your case will result in lack of restriction on the observations used. It's not an error to refer to saved results that don't exist.

Dear Satalist,
I wish to tabulate some summary statistics for some percentiles and to
export the tables to files in tex format. I have never done that
before. I
have read the stata help about esttab, estpost, estout, tabout and
various things that failed.
My best shot so far. Consider:
sysuse ibm,clear
tsset date
local variables ibm spx
/// Tabulate moments for different percentiles:
foreach var of varlist `variables' {
summarize `var' if inrange(`var',`=r(p1)',`=r(p10)'), detail
summarize `var' if inrange(`var',`=r(p90)',`=r(p100)'), detail
The result is displayed in the Stata window. For reference:
p1-p10: Obs = 493, Kurtosis = 5.05607
p90-p100: Obs = 50, Kurtosis = 3.619203
/// Export some summary satistics:
foreach var of varlist `variables' {
quietly estpost summarize `var' if inrange(`var',`=r(p1)',`=r
esttab using moments`var'.tex, replace cells("count mean sd
kurtosis") noobs nodis nonumbers nonotes
quietly estpost summarize `var' if inrange(`var',`=r(p90)',`=r
esttab using moments`var'.tex, append cells("count mean sd
kurtosis") noobs nodis nonumbers nonotes
There are two issues: one about the display, one about the data.
1) FIRST issue: my code creates two separate tables stacked on top
of each
other. I would like instead that the second round of data for count,
sd, skewness, kurtosis be "inserted" into the first table just below
first round of data, something like:
& count& mean& sd&
ibm, p1-p10 & 493& .0461508& 1.231737&
.144965& 5.05607\\
ibm, p90-p100 & 493& .0461508& 1.231737&
.144965& 5.05607\\
2) SECOND issue: my loop is not correctly selecting the percentiles.
As you
can see, the results for the two parts of the loop are identical.
In fact, the very first loop reported above is also incorrect. The
number of observations in the dataset is 493, so p1-p10 should have
than that and not 493 as reported.
I have tried playing around with preserve/restore, I have also tried
inserting "use ibm,replace" at various stages inside the loops, but
couldn't work it out.
I may be approaching this from the wrong angle. Any suggestions will
much appreciated. Thanks.

Alex says: "Atheism UK makes an important contribution to the defense of public discourse against obscurantism, mystery-mongering and hypocrisy. Atheists in the United States envy the strong secular culture of the United Kingdom and the institutions that sustain it. But we also recognize that reason must persistently prevent the tide of wishful thinking and pious sanctimony from lapping at our feet. That's what makes the work of Atheism UK so important."

Christine Hoff Kraemer, our own fearless leader here in the Pagan channel at Patheos, wrote a book and it's an excellent interfaith resource. It's short enough to be easily digested, its tone is light but but handles complex, heavy topics with grace, and it approaches theological concepts found within our community with a breadth of understanding lacking in many introductory books.

Hair Model Citizen: Elvis Presley's Hair Scraps
I may have missed the Elvis craze, but ever since I was treated to a private tour of Graceland, I've been intrigued by the King. Obviously, intrigued is a far cry from obsessed, and you'd have to be to purchase this "large quantity of hair" for sale by Leslie Hindman Auctioneers of Chicago later this month. Apparently, this model citizen was shaved off his highness's head when he was drafted into the U.S. Army and shed his famous locks for a military issue crew cut. This pile of seemingly innocuous hair is estimated to be worth somewhere between $8,000 and $12,000. For serious. To get the look, firmly press electric shaver to head and keep a broom close by.

Vintage. I know the book states that you really don't have any adjustment except for toe, but when I got my Z I found there were shims in my right front on the (2) lower bolts for camber (3 each). When I finished installing my new struts and setting my ride height, the shims were required but only one on each bolt. I eventually slotted the top mount hole in my left front strut due to I had to much camber and had to take about 2degs out of it. Friend-of-the-working-man Randy Forbes also let me know that they make a crash bolt, which is slightly small in diameter to allow for more adjustment. I didn't have to go that far and used the stock bolt. Worked perfectly with no shims in the bottom. I know I have to replace the ball joints and bushings, but that will take place later this spring. I figure I'll be doing this all again, but until then I'm now not worrying about tire wear and the car handles great. Anyway, just my couple pennies worth.

Chelsea crew truffle taupe suede lace-up platform ankle boots
1 Recommendation
Lulus's recommendation
True shoe gourmets already know that the Chelsea Crew Truffle Taupe Suede Lace-Up Platform Ankle Boots should be held in the highest esteem! Taupe suede upper is prized for its almond shaped toe and taupe laces that climb from burnished bronze grommets at the vamp, up to matching rows of hooks at the ankle. A mini belt wraps around the back of the ankle, and fastens with a burnished bronze buckle (and hidden elastic). And don't forget the tab in back, plus an elastic gusset next door, and the 6.5" taupe zipper at instep, as they all team up for an easy entry and a comfy fit. 1.5" hidden platform is discreetly daring, especially when paired with the 4.5" chunky wooden heel (plus rubber tip). Cushioned insole. Non-skid rubber sole. Fit is true to size. Available in European sizes 36 to 41. Measurements are for a size 36. Leather and man made upper. Balance man made. Imported.

The reject option of the updateios command is not supported on VIOS 188.8.131.52-FP-24 SP-01.
VIOS Shared Storage Pool requirements and limitations
The following requirements and limitations apply to enhancements to virtual storage, including shared storage pools and thin provisioning. These requirements and limitations do not apply to VIOS classic function.
Requirements for Shared Storage Pools
- Platforms: Power6 and Power7 only (includes Blades)
- System: Minimum CPU: 1; Minimum memory: 4GB per VIOS node
- VIOS Storage (minimums):
- 1 fibre-channel attached disk for repository, 20 GB
- At least 1 fibre-channel attached disk for data, 20GB
- Pool Storage Redundancy: All Storage Devices (repository and pool) must be RAIDed
- A shared storage pool configuration should configure the TCP/IP resolver routine for name resolution to resolve host names locally first, and then use the DNS. For step by step instructions, refer to the TCP/IP name resolution documentation in the AIX Information Center.
Limitations for Shared Storage Pools
- VIOS Software updates must be done while all clients utilizing storage in the VIOS are shut down.
- Shared Storage Pool
- Maximum nodes: 1 VIOS node
- Maximum client LPAR per VIOS : 20
- Maximum physical disks in a pool: 128
- Maximum virtual disks in a cluster: 200
- Maximum number of physical volumes that can be added to a pool at one time: 64.
- Uninterrupted network connectivity is required for operation.
- Changing the hostname for a system is not supported when it is in a shared storage pool.
- IP addresses used for shared storage pool should be the first entry in the /etc/hosts file.
- IPV4 Compliance only
- Client LPARs using Shared Storage Pool virtual devices are not supported for Live LPAR Mobility (LPM).
- VIOS Legacy capabilities that are not supported when a VIOS is configured for Shared Storage Pools.
- VIOS node cannot be a MSP/Data Mover (LPM). The VIOS cannot facilitate a Live Partition Mobility operation.
- VIOS node cannot be a PSP (AMS/Hibernation/Remote restart).
- VIOS node does not support SEA in "Interrupt Mode". Only threaded mode is supported (the default mode).
- VIOS Legacy capabilities that are supported when a VIOS is using Shared Storage Pools:
- VIOS node supports vSCSI Classic
- VIOS node supports NPIV
- VIOS node supports SEA (threaded mode only)
- MPIO-based, multipathing software (AIX default PCM, SDDPCM, HDLM PCM) is supported for physical devices in the shared storage pool. Legacy non-MPIO, multipathing software (SDD, PowerPath, legacy HDLM) is not supported.
- Logical Units in the SAN Storage subsystem imported into the Shared Storage Pool cannot be resized.
- Release 1 vSCSI devices from the Shared Storage Pool may drive higher CPU utilization than vSCSI classic devices.
- The viosbr command has options to "-backup", "-view" and "-restore" virtual configuration data. The "-clustername" option for the viosbr command is not supported until a future release.
NOTE: The system reserves a small amount of the reported Shared Storage Pool capacity to record consistency records. The remainder of the Shared Storage Pool capacity is available for storage of virtual client partition user data. Shared Storage Pool threshold monitoring should be used to notify the VIOS Administrator when free capacity falls below an acceptable level. The default threshold monitoring is set to alert when the free capacity in the pool is lower than 75% of the total capacity. As a precautionary measure, the VIOS Administrator should not allow the free capacity to drop below 5% of the total capacity or I/O operations on the virtual client partition may fail. In the event that no storage capacity is available, physical volumes must to be added to the pool or data deleted from the pool to create additional free capacity.

French-Algerian designer; in the world of fashion, a once-in-a-generation designer and pace-setter. He was an entrepreneur with his own fashion house and accessory line. The eldest of three kids, he grew up in an era of white tie and ball gowns. From an upscale family, his dad managed a chain of movie theaters in Algeria and his mom was a homemaker. His dad died in 1988. A child prodigy, shy, with myopic blue eyes peering out from behind wide-lensed glasses, he became an illustrator with Vogue at age of 18. He was the protégé of Christian Dior and became his successor in 1957.
He was known as an immensely private person, taut and slight of build. He was gay and had a steady but stormy relationship with his partner of 35 years, Pierre Berg. Berg once said of Saint-Laurent, "He was born with a nervous breakdown." Biographer Laurence Benaim wrote of his long time problem with drugs, alcohol and depression.
Brokered by French tycoon Francois Pinauot, the Gucci Group bought most of the house of Yves Saint Laurent for about $1 billion in 1999. The maestro continued to work on the haute couture, under the terms of the deal, until 1/07/2002, when he celebrated his retirement. The world-famous fashion designer died in Paris on June 1, 2008 of a brain tumor. He was 71.

When it comes to innovation, Charles Gibb, president of Belvedere Vodka, knows how important it is to do something new and different. That approach helped the company to develop its newest variety, Bloody Mary flavored vodka.
While many flavored vodkas are formulated around sweet combinations, Belvedere wanted its focus to be on something different.

This tv was on clearance but it never made it home. I ordered it online but after I went to the store and saw on that was on display I was disappointed at the quality so I cancelled my order. If the picture quality doesn't matter then this would work.
easy to set up. picture great
This is a great deal! We hung it on the wall and the picture and the sound are both awesome! I thought that the 60 Hz was going to be an issue, but it's awesome!
For the price we paid for this TV and backed by Sears warranty this TV was a steal. We also received Shop Your Way Rewards points for our purchase. Was able to reserve it online using store pick up, there was some issue with getting the correct model, but the sales associates were very helpful to get everything resolved and we were able to have it set up soon. I would definitely recommend this product.
We bought it for a our new house. The picture is incredibly clear. It actually takes some getting use to. I have not experienced any buzzing sounds or volume problems so far. I just wish that Netflix would have streaming movies. I can not wait until Football season to see the games ont this TV. We did experience a problem with the remote. We called to customer service and they walked us through and we corrected the problem. Customer service was great.
I've been meaning to buy a RCA LCD TV for quite a while now. I saw it at Sears. I've had the TV for two weeks now and wow, what an amazing experience. I have an HD Cable box through the HDMI input and some of Standard channels look like they are in HD. What a difference from my old 46" projection TV! Thank you Sears for the speedy delivery and excellent price. Would highly recommend this TV.
TV worked for about a week, then would turn itself off. I believe it was over heating. I read online that this chipset had a capacitor problem. Hopefully it was just a one time dud, The only way to turn it back on was to unplug it for a short time. We could only go 15 min to 3 hours of it working. We liked the TV until then.
great tv birthday gift for mom niece loves it ( 7 ) she says **** hers excellent color satisfactory sound it does go loud we are not looking to act like we are at a concert and so easy to hook up only took 1 cable from the to direct tv box direct tv lady assisted me with the whole set up prgramming.......... not interested in hooking anything else to it yet but yeah its great and excellent for a gift or for yourself and family family will love it
This is a great price for this TV, especially based upon size. Good picture. So-so sound. No PC input, though. Beware if that is an option if you are interested in using (I was).
I was struggling finance wise, but I needed some type of enterntainment in my new apartmet. Online I came across this 46 inch flat panel tv , and I thought to myself what a great deal. The sound is amazing, the picture is very sharp, and overall it was inexpensive. Great deal would totally recommend to a friend :)

This cop must of been lol'ing after , i would of been singing along personally.
2:20 the vid either lags or the cop starts to do the that with him!
*giggle snorts*
Great internal metronome - occasionally falls behind, but always comes right back in on cue!
This is Epic. Lol
He just confessed to killing someone…in a police car….
I like how the police released the video the public. Obviously Officer So and So has a sense of humour too.
Only in Alberta! Way to go, Robert!
This man sang the complete song drunk amazing.
Anything is better than Idol!!!
better than american idol!
Can I get this on iTunes?
Oh, the effects of achohol
Do you think the fact that this could possibly go viral will be lost on the dude?
Do you think there's a chance he will proudly show this video at family gatherings?
Do you think the cops arrived at the station half way through but didn't have the heart (or desire) to stop him?
Do you think this is his 15 minutes of fame that Andy Warhol promised?
I like that it's titled Queen +, like the George Michael and Paul Rodgers projects. Funny shit.

Write a Letter to this Company
I recently visited a Giant Eagle store (my first and last visit) to do some grocery shopping as it was on my way home. After spending approximately a little over an hour selecting items I proceeded to the checkout. I then pulled out my wallet to write a check to pay for my groceries. Please note the cashier watched me take out my wallet and I even asked him for a pen! Not until I started to write out the amount for the check did the cashier state that I needed some kind of check cashing card to pay for my groceries. I'm thinking at this point that I needed one of those frequent shopper cards...but no. So I leave my groceries and proceed to the customer service desk where there is one lady and a security guard standing. I proceed to ask her what is this card I need and she looks at me and simply says "it's a privelage to cash checks at Giant Eagle"! My response was so I can't pay for my groceries with a check? She then stated that I had to apply for the card and the approval takes 48 hours. After working a 14 hour day and wasting another hour or so shopping suffice it to say I was more than frustrated. Yes, I could have paid for the groceries with a credit card but I did not want to do that. So, as I'm standing there in disbelief even the guard said that's a new one on him. I just decided to go across the street to Kroger's where it's a privelage to 'them' for me to give them my business.
I have never in my life (I'm 49) been turned away from a grocery store when attempting to pay for my groceries with a check. Not even out of state as I travel quite frequently.
At the very least post a huge sign on the front doors so that the next poor victim doesn't waste their time shopping in your stores if they want to pay by check. At this point there is nothing I could think of that you could do to get my business. Oh yeah, I did email ALL my friends, business partners, co-workers and anyone that would listen about the rudeness, abruptness and general "that's too bad" attitude that I received at your store.
I just had a nearly identical experience. I was stuck using a checkonly because I just lost my check card today. I applied for anadvantage card and the clerk assured me that although I could not getcash back using the check, I could pay for my groceries. Afterspending half an hour picking things up I went to the register, onlyto find my check declined at the register. I was informed that myadvantage card needed twenty four hours to kick in and I could not paywith check. I would not have been so outraged if the clerk at theservice station had not told me I could pay with a check today. Ifthat is your policy fine but at least have your clerks educated on theissue. And yes, the sign outside would be nice. I know checks are oldfashioned but if you lose your credit card they are all some peoplehave to pay for things until the new card comes in the mail. Kept mycomposure but nearly started crying with frustration on my way out.Now I know how it feels to be poor. Thanks Giant Eagle.
I sympathise with you, around where I live, GE is a virtual monopoly(80%+ of the market), I would love to have Kroger's back as well asMeijer's and SuperTargets.
The cashier may have been referring to a GE advantage card to whichyou can attach check cashing rights (taken to mean chackes made out toyou ie. from friends, payroll checks, etc.). I don't reacll everseeing anyone turned away for using a check as long as they had theirID (DL or ID card) with them.
It is difficult to beleive that you are 49 years of age and are notaware that most super markets require a check cashing card. If this istoo much trouble, maybe you should use a debit card connected to yourchecking account. Most banks issue them. Join the twenty-firstcentury!
I'm the same age as you and have seen many ways that stores allowcustomers to use checks, including check cashing cards. Bottom line,their store, their rules. Don't like it? Don't shop there.
And as for sending your e-mail out to all your friends, etc., I'll betboth of them were sympathetic.
Sounds like the cashier assumed that if you were writing a check thatyou knew about and had a check cashing card until you said otherwise.
A great many stores have gone to using Telecheck instead of requiringa check cashing card. Telecheck treats your check like a debit cardand take out the funds immediately...they can also flag the account ifyou are deemed a risk (unpaid checks, etc) and decline the check. Giant Eagle is apparently not part of the Telecheck network and sorequires an approval of your account before you can write checks.
Most banks offer debit cards tied to your checking account. I only usechecks to pay my Avon lady and a couple of bills..everything else Iuse online payment or my debit or credit card. Checks are used lessand less everyday and there will come a day when no one will use them.
I can see your frustration about the card; however, at what specificpoint were anyone of them, including the cashier, rude? If they werejust explaining their policy and what you have to do for using checks,I don't consider that to be rude. These employees are just doing theirjob, you can't hold it personal against them for asking you to sign upfor a card that the company requires. Ridiculous as it sounds, somecompanies have these weird rules, which sends their customersscrambling for competitors.
I agree that they should post some kind of notice, the attitude fromthe desk person was terrible. It should not be a "privilege" to pay bycheck, if it were to bounce, thats another thing. I've noticed that inthe past few years businesses have begun to phase out check cashingcards, this is likely due to the "Check 21" act (google it). As forout of state checks, many places do not take them for reasons statedin other posts, but i know Walmart does, they authorize it right thereand debit your account, no waiting for it to clear.
Its nice to see a letter this concise and non-demanding. Good to seethat you spoke with your wallet and went somewhere else. I dont knowwhat Giant Eagle could do in this situation, but maybe a little badpress will get them to smarten up.
When I was a kid, you always needed to have a special card to use acheck. They had one for Pathmark, one for Superfresh, one forShopRite, one for...
When I moved out of my parents house and started buying my owngroceries, I needed to get a card to use a check. I remember havingone for Magrudders, one for Giant, and one for Safeway.
This was before credit cards were widely accepted at grocery stores. Then, all the places I went started accepting credit cards. I'venever used a check since. But I assumed that the policy was stillcommon.
Sounds like where Denise lives, stores haven't required a check check. Might be a regional thing, with Giant Eagle adopting a policy fromanother region?
Check cashing cards have been around for at least 20 years in my area.I can't believe people still write checks for something other than tomail with a bill. Why didn't you use your debit card? Then youwouldn't have had to worry about a check cashing card and you wouldhave your groceries. None of the retail stores I've worked for wouldaccept an out of state check. Trying to collect the money on an instate check is hard enough when it bounces.
I have a hard time believing that any business is accepting out ofstate checks, as you state. At my store, we won't even take an out ofthe area check because if it bounces we have to pay an out of the areasheriff to serve papers on the person to get our money back. Checkcashing cards were the norm in a lot of places back in the old dayswhen people wrote checks instead of using debit cards.
My supermarket requires a check cashing card and do many other localstores here. I can really understand it. Accepting checks from anyrandom person would leave them open to a lot of fraud.
I agree with all of your complaints, except that I am glad I wasn't onthe receiving end of the mass email.

The fires were so ferocious they created their own weather patterns. As they roared through the countryside, they fed on their own fury with devastating consequences.
THE Black Saturday fires created 120 km/h winds, snapping trees in half. They created their own weather, triggering storm clouds and lightning strikes that started more fires. They created flames that leaped 100 metres into the air and fireballs that barrelled ahead of a front and landed with explosive force in farmers' paddocks.
And they fed on their own fury and destructiveness. The fiercer they became, the more strength they drew from the heat, wind and energy they had spawned.
The science behind them has been explained by fire behaviour expert Kevin Tolhurst in evidence to the Bushfires Royal Commission and in a report he produced for the inquiry on the physical nature of the fires that day.
Dr Tolhurst is senior lecturer in fire ecology and management at Melbourne University. He says the Black Saturday fires were unique in three ways: the speed of ignition, the intensity of the flames and the way they spread in "pulses", with prolific spotting up to 35 kilometres ahead of a front.
The Black Saturday fires were similar to previous Victorian fires in that they were at their worst following the cool change late in the day. The drop in temperature brings relief to baking cities but the associated change in wind direction can mean horror in country areas.
Cool changes "turn the flank (side) of a long and narrow, cigar-shaped fire, driven by strong northerly winds, into a fire front several kilometres wide", Dr Tolhurst says. "Typically, about 80 per cent of the total area burnt occurs after this wind change."
When five firefighters died at Linton in 1998 it was because a cold front turned a seemingly benign fire with flames less than half a metre high into a blaze with flames 10 metres high, he says.
On Black Saturday much of the bush was dried out from more than a decade of drought and 11 days of temperatures over 30 degrees. This meant it was easier for embers to bring fuel, such as bark or leaves, to kindling temperature of about 300 degrees.
They did not have to smoulder for long periods to dry the fuel because the fuel was already desiccated. Dr Tolhurst says the speed with which embers ignited spot fires was unique to February 7.
Even mountain ash and rainforest areas, usually moist, had been dried out.
"Normally you wouldn't have a chance of trying to ignite or burn those areas . . . (but they) are the areas where the greatest fuel accumulation occurs so when they do burn, they burn with great intensity."
A fire burning fiercely interacts with fuel, air, its own spot fires and the energy it produces to create a self-sustaining system. The more it consumes, the more it can consume.
The fires that day also set a record for spotting distance, due to the prevailing winds and the winds and heat the fires created.
The Kilmore fire on Black Saturday developed a smoke plume about 5200 metres from the ground and a huge white pyrocumulus cloud 8500 metres off the ground.
The plume acts like someone sucking on a straw, Dr Tolhurst says. As air rises into the plume, more air is drawn into its base. This vacuuming effect pulls on the thousands of surrounding spot fires, encouraging the burning areas to come together and form a whole, and drives the direction of the fire front. The formation of the pyrocumulus cloud adds further heat to the smoke column and reinforces the updraft of air.
If the atmosphere is unstable, it is easier for a parcel of warm air to rise. Thunderstorms develop in unstable atmospheres because warm moist air rises readily and forms thunderclouds.
Late on Black Saturday, pyrocumulus clouds developed into a fire-induced thunderstorm that produced lightning strikes and small fires in Melbourne's water catchment forests, including the Upper Yarra and Britannia Creek catchments.
Bushfires create their own winds when air is whipped into the convection column at ground level.
"In the 2003 fires in Canberra, we saw the fire tornado that was a result of that convective effect," Dr Tolhurst says. "In the fires here on February 7 we saw trees snapped off - down at the Bunyip Ridge fire, for example, where the winds would have had to have been in the vicinity of 120 km/h or more."
Fire whirls, balls, flares and willy-willies of flame are moving air filled with combustible gases, "and the quickest way for these to rise is to actually spin in the same way as a tornado or willy-willy would rise by spinning. When it has got combustible gases in it, we get a fire whirl."
A lot of people on Black Saturday saw "fair dinkum fire flares or fire balls", he says.
"The fuels were so dry and the temperatures were so high, the rate at which the volatile gases were given off was much quicker than normal, if you like, and so the likelihood of getting black smoke and these parcels of unburnt volatiles moving through the air is much greater."
Those parcels of gases need to mix with air to ignite and often travel long distances through the fire zone before igniting when they hit fresh air at the edge of it. "You only need to go down to Southbank to see the gas flares in front of the casino there. It is the same phenomenon. We see it separated from the source, and it won't last, but it is there."
Many people have described the noise of the fires that day as being like the rumble of dozens of freight trains or the roar of hundreds of jet engines.
That noise is not heard until the front is upon you, says Dr Tolhurst. Video of Marysville just before the fire showed it still and quiet, with hardly a flutter of leaves in the trees, because prevailing winds and the winds of the bushfire cancelled each other out. "Often as the fire is approaching things will go calm," he says.
Many things make up the roar of the fire front: "One is just the strong winds associated with the fire, with updraughts and so on, so that you get the thrashing of leaves and twigs and branches and other material. You don't even need much wind. The fire actually bursts the cells of the plants . . . the crackling of the cells as they explode with the heat from the fire is quite deafening."
The Black Saturday fires burnt out 300,000 hectares and produced flames that leaped 100 metres in the air and had temperatures of up to 1200 degrees . "The energy of the fires was equivalent to more than 1500 atomic bombs the size of the one used at Hiroshima . . . but bushfires release their energy in a 'storm', not a 'blast'," he says.
"The total amount of heat released from the fires on Black Saturday would have been sufficient to provide the total energy needs for all Victorian domestic and industrial use for a year. This energy was released in just a few hours."
Dr Tolhurst told the commission the fires that day showed up holes in scientific knowledge and, therefore, in the advice given to the community.
Video around one fire observation tower showed severe flames for an hour and strong radiant heat for five hours in total. Dr Tolhurst says this phenomenon of "areas of fire" that burn for long periods has not been studied adequately and is not reflected in fire advice that tells people they can shelter briefly in houses while a fire front passes quickly over.
Areas of massive spot fires that can burn for hours, rather than a passing front, are not captured well in scientific models or in training, he says.
"If a fire is only travelling at a maximum of five or 12 km/h per hour, why do so many kangaroos get killed, because they can travel much quicker than five or 10 kilometres an hour? It's because they basically get surrounded by fire; they get engulfed in an area of fire. So we need to actually change our conceptual framework and follow that up with research that fits that pattern."

The Bat Cave
Level 2, Centre Block
Go around the case (no, we're not making you walk around in circles), and take the walkway to your right, just past the cinnamon bear, towards the entrance to the Bat Cave.
The Moustached Bat is a grey-coloured bat found primarily in the caves of Jamaica and Central and South America. It gets its name from the stiff hairs lining its upper lip.
Cool Fact
If you find yourself surrounded by these furry mammals, don't panic! Unlike some of their relatives who also eat meat and fruit, these bats only eat insects.

In Praise of the TV Prom
Many of you felt my pain when it came to this week's episode of Gossip Girl. Thanks to the Lily flashbacks, just a few Upper East Side prom scenes got squeezed in between trips back to '80s LA — and that means an entire generation of GG fans got cheated out of the kind of episode that can be the highlight of a teen TV show's lifespan. So I've gathered up some memories of favorite proms from TV shows past. It won't fill the void left by GG, but it might help.

3 arrested in U.S. 'Dark Knight' movie incidents
At least 3 men accused of making threats during or after watching the new Batman movie have been arrested in separate incidents, underscoring U.S. moviegoers' anxieties and heightened security in the wake of a deadly mass shooting at a Colorado theater showing the film.
Moviegoers in Sierra Visa, Ariz., panicked when a man who appeared intoxicated was confronted during a showing of the movie. The Cochise County Sheriff's office said it caused "mass hysteria" and about 50 people fled the theater.
Michael William Borboa, 27, was arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct, and threatening and intimidating.

A Maine man was arrested when he told authorities that he was on his way to shoot a former employer a day after watching The Dark Knight Rises, Maine state police said Monday.
Timothy Courtois of Biddeford, Maine, had been stopped for speeding, and a police search of his car found an AK-47 assault weapon, four handguns, ammunition and news clippings about the mass shooting that left 12 people dead early Friday, authorities said.

This booking photograph shows Timothy Courtois, who was arrested on charges of having a concealed weapon and speeding on the Maine Turnpike.
In Southern California, a man at a Sunday afternoon showing of the film was arrested after witnesses said he made threats and alluded to the Colorado shooting when the movie didn't start.
Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies were called to a cinema complex in Norwalk after moviegoers said 52-year-old Clark Tabor shouted: "I should go off like in Colorado." They said he then asked: "Does anybody have a gun?"
A security guard saw Tabor with a backpack on his knees in the second row, but deputies who searched the bag, the theater and its surrounding area did not find any weapon.
Despite some jitters over the horrific shooting, moviegoers around the U.S. still flocked to theaters to see the film, which was the final installment of the phenomenally successful Batman trilogy. Warner Bros. reported that it brought in $160.9 million over the weekend, making it the third highest opening weekend ever, after The Avengers and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2.

The Magazine of Roger Williams University School of Law
A Chat with the Dean
Our Q&A with Dean David A. Logan
An institution and its alumni come of age…
RWU Law:
Roger Williams was treated to
a visit from Justice Samuel Alito of the U.S.
Supreme Court this fall. What does that say
about the law school's profile?
Dean Logan:
In the 19 years of this
school's existence, our students have
interacted with eight U.S. Supreme Court
justices. Just in the past four years, four
justices came to Rhode Island to meet our
students, and some of our students have
met a total of six justices. We're coming
of age, just as our alumni base is coming
of age. As our reputation grows, it is not
surprising that the events we are able to
bring to campus improve by leaps and
bounds as well.
RWU Law:
Is that another way of saying
that – as RWU Law approaches its 20th
anniversary – the school and its alumni
have "arrived"?
We're in an ongoing process of
arriving. Our alumni are practicing all over
the country and, indeed, around the world,
dealing with everything from intellectual
property to civil rights to tribal law. As
the articles in this issue of our magazine
illustrate, we have small-firm practitioners,
public interest lawyers, partners in major
law firms; we also have alumni achieving
success on non-traditional career paths.
It's continuing proof of the versatility of a
Roger Williams J.D.
RWU Law:
This fall also saw the
inauguration of RWU Law's new Santoro
Business Law Lecture Series.
Once again, that's a testament to
the success of our alumni. The Santoro
Business Law Lecture Series exists solely
because of alumni generosity in endowing
the lectureship. Brian Ali '07 made the
lead gift and, within a period of weeks,
donations from other alumni doubled
that amount and we were in a position to
begin planning the series. It is our second
endowed lectureship, incidentally, which
is another sign of our increasing maturity.
Our first is the Thurgood Marshall Lecture,
held every other year and endowed by the
leading firm Hinckley Allen & Snyder.
RWU Law:
Is the school seeing increased
alumni involvement overall?
Absolutely. And that involvement is
vital to the future of this institution. Our
alumni help RWU Law in many ways,
not least by being terrific role models in
the legal community, which builds our
reputation. In addition, many of them
remain involved with the law school as
adjunct faculty, as mentors to our current
students and by hiring our students
and graduates. On top of all that is the
critical importance of alumni in building
our institutional resources. That is why
contributions to the Annual Fund are so
important and will be a real focus of the
next year of my deanship.
RWU Law:
Are you optimistic about
growing participation?
It's already happening. Our initial
alumni base is continuously expanding,
and more alumni are achieving prominence
in their fields. So we want to build Annual
Fund participation from where it is today,
at about 11 percent, to 15 percent this
year, then up to 20 percent for our 20th
anniversary next year: "20 for 20."
I am especially proud of the fact that 100
percent of RWU Law's full-time faculty and
senior staff contributed to the law school
this year. That sends a strong signal to the
state and region, to the bar and, of course,
to our alumni. It's a tremendous vote of
confidence in, and loyalty to, this unique
institution and its mission.

|Recycling Magnesium
Die casting is the most common method of fabricating magnesium alloy parts. Die casting foundries can manage the amount of process scrap in three different ways. Scrap can be sold on the open market however the metal is often times downgraded for use in the desulphurization of steel or other markets. Due to the high dependence on alternate material supply, the prices paid for scrap vary considerably. Foundries can also recycle magnesium scrap either internally or externally. Often times, this is the most cost effective method of controlling scrap quantities. The process scrap that is generated in die casting is kept within a closed loop system reducing demand of primary material by up to 50%.
There are several factors that dictate the amount of processed scrap that is produced and recycled and the amount of primary metal that is utilized. The ratio of scrap to product for a single shot, the amount of material lost in the melting cycle, the quantity of different components that are cast, the percentage of cast parts that must be rejected during production, the end quality of process scrap, and the recycling operation efficiency all affect the amount of process scrap and primary magnesium utilized.
Methods for Recycling
There are various methods for recycling magnesium both as process scrap and also as ELV scrap. Several of these processes have been proven effective and efficient in recycling through recent studies. Re-melting of magnesium chips is a common recycling process however due to magnesium's susceptibility to oxidation, this process can be costly. A proposed solution to this issue is the use of hot extrusion as a solid state recycling method. Since the metal is not melted, a special protective environment or additional caution is not required. A study conducted at the Harbin University of Science and Technology in China showed that solid-state recycling of magnesium alloy chips is an efficient method of recycling.
The Brunel Centre for Advanced Solidification Technologies (BCAST) developed the Melt Conditioned High Pressure Die Casting (MC-HPDC) process for recycling high quality magnesium cast components. This process consists of imposing intensive shearing directly to the alloy melt before it is poured into the die. Attached to a standard high pressure die casting machine is a twin screw that is used to inflict the high shear mixing to the melted magnesium. The mixing improves the overall uniformity in chemistry and temperature of the melt. The MC-HPDC process was shown to be an excellent candidate for physical recycling of high grade magnesium alloy scrap through research and testing. The castings produced had consistent ultimate tensile strength and elongation properties that were comparable to those of the primary material tested.

Green Revolution: Magnesium Extrusions are Recyclable and Eco-Conscious
The same quality criteria in regards to chemical composition and oxide content must be met for both recycled alloy ingots and primary metal. Processing ELVs is most commonly done through shredding for economic reasons. This method results in the mixing of different magnesium alloys as well as their integrated elements. Magnesium can be contaminated with iron, nickel and copper all of which are detrimental to the corrosion resistance of the metal. Through the addition of manganese, the levels of iron can be reduced. Nickel and copper on the other hand may only be controlled through distillation or dilution. In large commercial applications, dilution is impractical as it will not aid in greatly reducing the amount of new material used. Distillation on the other hand consumes approximately 5-7.5 kiloWatt•hr/kg (7,738.61-11,607.91BTU/lb).
Re-melting alloys consume at the most, 50% of the energy that is required for distillation. Secondary alloys are developed for creation of new components from re-melted scrap metal with a minimum amount of primary metal while still achieving the desired and needed composition of the alloy. A recent study completed in Germany shows that it is possible to address the problems associated with mixed alloying elements and impurities in recycling within a single alloy system. These results promote recycling of ELVs through re-melting which uses minimal primary metal and energy.
Despite the existence of various current methods of recycling magnesium, there is still room for further improvement. The further development of recycling methods is becoming a challenge in the technical, economic and environmental fields.

According to
another version, Khara had a disciple, known as Pingalan. 'At the and of his Gurukula.
Education of the disciple wanted to give Khara a good amount byway of Gurudakshina. But he
was penniless. Yet he pestered his Guru as to how much he should give him as dakshina. The
Guru became angry and said: "Ten thousand crores of gold coins." When Pingalan
could not afford even a hundred pieces how could he find such a large amount?
Intense Penance
Seeing the predicament of his disciple, the Guru decided that they both would undertake
intense penance to propitiate the Gods. This they did at Harina dweep. First Mahavishnu
appeared before them. As per their request Bhagawan granted them all the ton thousand
crores Of gold coins. Then Siva appeared, before them. With the gold coins he got, Khara
performed abhisheka on Siva-kanakabhisheka. Immensely pleased, Siva gave them another ten
thousand crores of gold coins. With this they Performed abhisheka to Mahavishnu also.
After his duty fulfilled Pingalan took leave of his master and left the place.
