The neighbor code ought not be aware of devices; but whoever is configuring must be. By configuring i mean "stiching together" the different blocks (as in some netlink based program in user space). the idevxxx is a "stiching" construct - and therefore it may be aware of many other things that a standalone block doesnt. One could argue that the ifindex in a netdevice is also under the same class. The ARP, NDISC, netdevice, filters etc are the blocks being sown together. Most of the times these blocks are built together in a topology that a packet flows through. > I would like to stay consistent to this architecture > if possible to be able to follow every new additions. > > I hope my point is now clear, I wasn't so sure until now ;-> However, > I think you have a good point, parameter sets have a strong relation > to inet devices at the moment.

It will help, though, for devconfig to have a single reference to the "instance" of the table(perhaps a name or a even a 32 bit pointer address) that a device uses (thefore maintaining the abstraction); but since there is only one table for v4 and v6 anyways i suppose it is implicitly assumed to be that one table. cheers, jamal

Just let the Iraqis decide their fate
Page Tools
The world should listen while the people of Iraq make themselves heard, writes Tony Parkinson.
The last time Iraq went to the polls was a highly efficient affair. Grotesquely so. In October, 2002, Iraqi officials reported a stunning 100 per cent turnout across the nation. To the surprise of nobody, one candidate got 100 per cent of the vote.
In the shadow of war, all 11.44 million registered electors in Iraq were said to have recorded their support - unanimously, deliriously - for President Saddam Hussein.
It fell to Saddam's deputy, Izzet Ibrahim, to struggle with the sheer unreality of finding a suitable soundbite to explain this nonsense to the international media. Drawing on his talent for Baathist doublespeak, he described it as "a unique exercise in democracy".
It probably wasn't the most egregious lie the old hoodlum had ever told - for, in a sense, the sordid fiction of Saddam's last great landslide victory was perfectly in keeping with the tradition of "democracy" as the Arab world had come to know it.
Tomorrow, in contrast, the Iraqi people will have their first taste of the real thing.
Sadly, all the signs point to a voting process that will be difficult everywhere, chaotic in parts, and life-threatening - for candidates, election officials and voters alike.
In the four most restive of Iraq's 18 provinces, Sunni extremism rages. Election officials have been kidnapped and murdered. Polling stations have been targeted.
Saddamites and Islamist terrorists are hell-bent on disrupting and discrediting the election in their ruthless strategy to cruel the emergence of a new order in Iraq.
A recording attributed to al-Qaeda chieftain, Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi, declared war against democracy and called on fellow Sunnis to attack any "infidels" who vote.
Has there been any constituency anywhere in the world so thoroughly monstered and intimidated? How will Iraqi voters respond? Bravely, I hope.
There are some who argue it is asking too much of a battered and beleaguered people to require them to vote when the security risks are so horrific. Others, including intellectual and political elites in neighbouring Arab nations say a proposed general boycott of the ballot by Sunni Arabs will make any outcome unrepresentative and, hence, illegitimate. For this reason, they, too, say the vote should not proceed.
Both propositions are unconscionable. Strategically, and as a matter of principle.
The first implies submitting to a de facto terrorist veto. This would be unforgiveable. The second implies allowing for a sectarian veto over the timetable for Iraq's democratic transition. How would this fit with a pluralist, secular model for a modern Iraq? Sunni abstentionism is making it more difficult to rebuild Iraq. That is a fact of life.
But another fact of life is that the Sunni tribes and their priestly caste constitute less than a quarter of Iraq's population. They have enjoyed political power vastly disproportionate to their numbers - underwritten by Saddam's tyrannical ways.
Sooner or later, mainstream Sunnis must grapple with the new reality that they are one voice among many, and that power shared is less likely to be power abused.
Tomorrow may be too soon for that shift in mindset. Driven by clan solidarity or the more basic instinct of self-preservation, many Sunnis will probably not vote.
But will a no-show by this one community de-legitimise the whole election process? No more than if Afrikaners, say, had boycotted South Africa's first post-apartheid election.
As Wall Street Journal columnist James Taranto noted perspicaciously this week, who would have dared suggest in 1994 that a low turnout by whites would have detracted from the sense of celebration that South Africa's long-oppressed black majority were for the first time enjoying the freedom to exercise political choice?
Tomorrow, the people of Iraq will become the first citizens of a leading Arab nation to have this same opportunity. Many will knowingly risk their lives to exercise that right. That in itself is worthy of reflection.
For while we hear much about how a low turnout of the vote might reflect a lack of confidence in the new order, the fact that an election can happen at all in a place such as Iraq is surely remarkable. Which will resonate more in history - the suicide bombs, or this first expression of popular will by a people who for so long suffered in silence?
Ultimately, judgement calls about the success or failure of democracy in Iraq will be for the Iraqis themselves to make. Now they have a voice of their own, the least we can do is pay them the courtesy of listening.

Vidya Balan Loses Rascals for leaving Dhamaal 2
Bollywood actress Vidya Balan, who has recently walked out of the movie Dhamaal 2, has lost a solo heroine role in Rascals, which is the first film of Sanjay Dutt Productions (SDP). David Dhawan is directing Rascals. Sanjay Dutt also stars Dhamaal 2 along with few other actors.
Initially, the actress agreed to be a part of Dhamaal 2 but asked for a whooping amount of Rs 1.5 crore as fee. The producers refused to pay such a huge amount and she walked out of the movie. She was then replaced by Mallika Sherawat.

Lo que nuestros clientes piensan de Playseat® Office Chair - WTCC "Tom Coronel":

Por TouringCarChampion
Total Calidad / Precio Comodidad Diseño FunGreat WTCC chairI was planning on buying a Playseat chair for a long time and I'm glad I waited until the new Coronel chairs were released. I already saw some other new chairs, but as a FIAWTCC fan this chair is perfect for me. It's nice that Playseat isn't focusing only on Formula 1 anymore. Coronel is one of my favorite drivers and I like the color of the chair a lot, so this is definitely the best chair for me. It adds a massive level of realism to playing race games. High quality materials are used for this chair and I can sit comfortably in it. It's easy to fold the chair for saving space, but I don't think I will be storing it anytime soon!

Starbucks invests in Square
Starbucks customers to pay on their smartphone
Coffee giant Starbucks has invested $25 million (£16 million) in electronic payment service Square.
Created by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, the technology allows buyers to insert their credit card into a small device that can be plugged into a smartphone.
The deal will see Square rolled out across 7,000 US Starbucks branches, and is seen as a major boost in the battle to beat competitors such as eBay's PayPal and Swedish firm iZettle
Starbucks chief executive Howard Schultz will also join the Square board to oversee the introduction of the new payment method, which will be made available from the autumn. "As the largest retail mobile payment platform in the US, we're excited and proud to accept payments with Square," he said.
Square boss Dorsey looks to the future
Upon completion of the deal, Mr Dorsey published a letter on the Square website in which he hailed the opportunities the new investment would bring for other companies already signed up with the software.
Outlining his vision for the brand, he said: "When Starbucks builds the Square Directory into their apps and in-store Digital Network, it gives Square new visibility, driving more customers to opt-in to Square… these new payers will be able to find your business and pay with their name, building community and creating value."
Mobile payments are becoming an increasingly popular market, with convenience for consumers and the prospect of saving money on expensive till systems for retailers making them an attractive proposition for all parties. And with over half the UK population owning a smartphone, there is likely to be demand for services such as Square on our shores.
Tom Glass, creative director at theEword, commented: "This is a massive deal for Square, one which could catapult them into the mainstream very quickly. Starbucks clearly rates the technology, and if the initial stages go well it shouldn't be long before we see similar options available in UK branches."

In 4-H youth of all ages pledge their "hands to larger service." They fulfill this pledge by participating in a myriad of community service projects, and learn right away that they are never too young to help others.
This past year 4-H youth helped clean up streams, parks, and roadways, participated in the Hunger Walk, planted flowers at Hendersonville Elementary, helped prepare a nature trail at the Bullington Horticultural Learning Center, washed and painted trash receptacles at Jackson Park, and most recently, baked cookies for the Bounty of Bethlehem, a Christmas meal served at Immaculata School for area families.
On Dec. 21, 14 4-H boys and girls discovered the joy of helping others during the 4-H Bake-Off contest. Children baked items at home for the contest, and while their baked goods were being judged, they baked and decorated over 350 gingerbread cookies. Happy smiles, and flour-covered faces told the true story of community service - it feels good to help others!
Janet Gover, the leader of the Runabouts 4-H Club, organized the 4-H Bake-Off contest. Youth entered baked goods in six categories: Biscuits, cakes, cookies, pies, candy and quick breads. Honors were presented as follows: Lauren Lampley - Cake (blue), Candy (blue), and Quick Breads (white); Sarah Beth Sherrill - Quick Breads (red), Pie (blue), Cookies (blue), and Candy (blue); Lauren Dotson - Candy (red); and Katie Dotson - cookies (blue).
The Best of Show winners were: Lauren Lampley (junior) and Sarah Beth Sherrill (senior). Other workshop participants included: Lee and Briana Gover, John Mark and Peter Lampley, Hillary Schroeder, Andrea and Tori Sutton, Anna Reyes, Dillion Thompson, Jessica and Ashley Staton, Taylor Fair and Tra Edenfield. Lois Bayne, Joyce Armstrong, and Suzanne Maney served as the judges for the contest.
Special events like the 4-H Bake-Off contest are held throughout the year, and are open to children ages 5 to 18. Families may contact the Henderson County Center of the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Office at 697-4891 to inquire about joining a 4-H club and to receive a copy of our 2001 4-H calendar.
Donna Murphy is the 4-H extension agent at the Henderson County Center of the N.C. Cooperative Extension Office, which is a division of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at North Carolina State University. 4-H programs are open to all youth, ages 5-18, regardless of race, color, national origin, sex or disability. She can be reached at 697-4891.

Here's a great smoothie for iron (and calcium).
The dark, leafy greens in this recipe are masked by the ripe, flavorful fruit. I did detect a subtle "green" flavor, but it's just a hint and mostly from the fresh-tasting Italian parsley.
If you'd like to mask the green flavor further, simply add an extra banana or a cup of fresh pineapple. A handful of raspberries or strawberries would enhance the flavor further while adding even more iron! I really liked this recipe as-is, though.
If you are wondering why I call this smoothie recipe "Iron 101", it's because it has 101% of your daily value of iron. A significant amount of iron comes from the fresh parsley which has 47% of your recommended daily allowance (RDA) of iron alone. *
Pregnant women should not consume parsley. Parsley contains an essential oil called apiole. Apiole is a kidney stimulant. Because this essential oil can stimulate uterine contractions, pregnant women should avoid eating large quantities of it.
Iron 101 Smoothie Recipe
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and pitted
- 2 large ripe bananas, peeled
- 3 cups kale
- 1 cup fresh, Italian parsley (or use curly parsley)
- 8 ounces of filtered water
Start by adding the liquid to your blender (see my blender recommendations), followed by the soft fruit. Add the greens to your blender last. Blend on high for 30 seconds or until the smoothie is creamy.
Nutrition Information
Calories: 498
Fat: 3g
Protein: 12g
Carbohydrates: 121g
Calcium: 32% RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance)
Iron: 101% RDA *
Vitamin A: 1257% RDA
Vitamin C: 447% RDA
This smoothie is also a rich source of folate, vitamins B1 – B6, vitamin E, vitamin K, copper, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, and potassium.
Serving Size: One. (This recipe makes a large, 32-ounce smoothie. It is a meal-replacement smoothie and not a snack. I recommend drinking half right away and the other half about 30 minutes later. If it is too much for you, store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.)
* Special Note for Women and Vegetarians/Vegans: This green smoothie provides 8 milligrams (mg) or 101% of the recommended dietary iron intake for adult men and post menopausal women. Adult, pre-menopausal women need 18mg of iron per day.
Vegetarians and vegans also need a higher dietary intake of iron due to the difference in bio-availability of animal-sourced and plant-sourced iron.
An adult male following a vegetarian diet should consume about 14 mg of iron daily while vegetarian, pre-menopausal women should strive for 33 mg daily.
These figures are based on recommendations set in 2000 by the Institute of Medicine at the National Academy of Sciences.

Short lives celebrated as loved ones say goodbye
Megan Levy, Nowra

Matthew Davey's coffin is carried yesterday in one of three funerals for victims of the Sea King helicopter crash.
Photo: Chris Lane
A shaft of sunlight stole slowly across the coffin. One by one, it lit up the symbols of Matthew Davey's navy service - a cap, dress sword and the medal of valour awarded by Indonesia last week - as mourners heard how he had brightened the lives of others.
"You fitted more into your short life than most people do in a lifetime," his sister De'Arne Davey said through tears. "You lived life to the fullest and you are my hero."
The final farewell to the young intensive care doctor and naval reservist was one of three held yesterday for victims of the Sea King helicopter crash on April 2.
Friends and family recalled a brilliant scholar, gifted doctor and talented athlete with a quirky sense of humour and a cheeky grin.
Academic mentors paid tribute to his agile intellect, which saw him win a research fellowship to New York's Cornell University Medical College in 1998 and the University Medal at the Australian National University.
The grief was potent. Lieutenant Davey's partner, Rachael Henson - the woman to whom he was planning to propose - was taut with loss.
His mother, Anne-Marie Cook, gave part of the speech she had hoped to give on her son's wedding day later this year. "Rachael, you were perfect for my son," she said. She buried Lieutenant Davey, 30, with a copy of his favourite childhood book - Dr Seuss's Are You My Mother?.
"He was a man for all people," chaplain Ken Batterham told the crowd at the Duntroon Military College chapel in Canberra. "Matt lived life to the fullest - no half measures; he lived life as if every minute counted."
Then came the naval ode, the Last Post, a minute's silence. A gun salute. Black armbands on stark navy whites loaded the casket into a hearse and the mournful wail of bagpipes sent Lieutenant Matthew Davey off in the late afternoon sunshine.
In Nowra, hundreds gathered inside Australia's Museum of Flight, surrounded by old military aircraft, to say goodbye to Scott Bennet, the man they knew as "Scottie".
From the kid who played with toy soldiers to the keen sportsman and proud father he later became, Leading Seaman Bennet, 36, was remembered as a man who had also lived life to its fullest, even if that involved rap-dancing on the odd occasion.
"He used to spend hours and hours playing with toy soldiers in the sandpit (as a child). We always thought he would have a military career," Leading Seaman Bennet's father Ronald said. "Then the rap-dancing craze came around, and there was none better than Scott."
But it was the goodbye letters from his sons that reduced the crowd to silence.
"When I was small it was fun, just you and me. Remember how we used to do stuff together like go off the dirt jumps and when I was small we had to build that bike?" wrote nine-year-old Courtney.
Jarryd, 7, had drawn a picture and asked his father to do the same.
In recognition of Leading Seaman Bennet's Maori roots, the Haka was performed, as was the Karanga, a Maori chant to call his spirit.
RAAF Sergeant Wendy Jones, 40, also was laid to rest yesterday in her home town of Broken Hill, NSW. About 120 defence personnel attended the military funeral.

"If you go down in the dirt today, you'd better not go alone!
For today's the day the nematodes have their picnic!"
Sung to the tune of "The Teddy Bears' Picnic"
So opens the forward written by Dr. Elaine Ingham, Ph.D. for the book Teaming with Microbes: The Organic Gardener's Guide to the Soil Food Web authored by Jeff Lowenfels and Wayne Lewis. Ingham goes on to say: "When you are bored looking at soil from urban lawns, making up words to popular songs is always good! Soil shouldn't be so boring, but urban landscapes mean dead dirt. It means being bent over a microscope for long hours looking at … nothing but inert particles. Boring. And so, we make up words to songs. Real soil is active, alive, moving! Critters everywhere, doing interesting things! No hours staring through a microscope looking at micrometer after micrometer of boring -- nothing happening. Instead, after just a few seconds – movement, life, action"!
We are learning more all the time about the importance of biologically active soils to the health of natural ecosystems as well as the planted landscape. A healthy soil is teaming with an incredible array of interconnected life forms including bacteria, protozoa, fungi, nematodes and arthropods. More often than not it is also home to amphibians, reptiles (snakes!) and small mammals (mice, voles, etc.). And healthy soils contain abundant organic matter -- the waste, residue and metabolites from plants, animals and microbes. We call such soils "healthy" because they better sustain the health of the world around us – not just the plants that grow from them, but also the animals that rely on those plants, including people. It's simple: healthier soils means healthier people.

Unfortunately, in our communities we have mostly practiced the art of soil sterilization as we have gone about our gardening and landscape activities in modern times. When humans figured out how to synthesize fertilizers and pesticides through modern chemistry, we thought (understandably) that we had found a shortcut around Mother Nature to help make our soils more productive and our landscapes easier to maintain (at least in the manicured vision we came to expect). Since then, biological and ecological research has revealed that we were wrong. When it comes to gardens and community landscapes, we must strive for biodiversity and we must start working in greater partnership with nature and natural processes. And this begins with our soils.

You see stories everywhere saying how insecure and malware ridden Android is, most of which are just sensationalism and FUD. The fact is that Android is very much like Windows, where developers (and unsavory types) can write software that you install without it being poured over and approved. This means some of it will be malware -- them's the breaks and there's not much that can be done about it. Paranoid users will just not install any third party applications, savvy users will research every piece of code they install, and normal users can use a mobile security app like Kaspersky Lab's latest offering, Mobile Security Lite.
It has the malware scanning you hear so much about, but it also has some other -- possibly more important -- features baked in. SMS and call filtering are a must have for some (including yours truly) and anti-theft tools are almost a must have when we keep so much personal information on our Android phones. Kaspersky Mobile Security Lite offers both in addition to malware scanning, which makes it worth a second look. Many of us use apps that block random callers and texts, and having a solution baked in to an all-in-one security app is a great idea. Add in the ability to track your phone via GPS, and remote lock and wipe it when you find out it's not in your pocket or purse where it belongs, then make it free -- that's a recipe for success.
We're going to have a closer look at this one, and if you're looking for a mobile security solution you should as well. Find the download link and press release after the break.

I would say yea for a one-dimensional list made of homogeneous atomic
elements (i.e. all element have the same basis type such as machine-size
floating-point numbers or integers).
The following example tests a vector of 100 million floating-point
numbers (occupying about 800 Mo in RAM) in less than 0.9 second. To me,
I would say the list is very large and the test fast enough. Of course,
you may have a different opinion. Also, sorting the list before talking
the first and last elements is much slower even when using Ordering. (I
believe that Max and Min have been optimized to work fast on large list.)
In[1]:= longList = RandomReal[{-10000, 10000}, {10^8}];
Max[longList] - Min[longList] // Timing
Out[2]= 800000076

In one of these letters Americus seems to have written boastfully of how he had found lands which might be called a new world.
This seems the more strange since we know so little about the life of Americus.
They were impressed by the belief of Americus that he had seen a new world and not simply the Indies.
Do you think that Americus Vespucius deserved so great an honor?
It has innumerable doors, and windows reaching to the floor, and is as pleasant as the banquet-room of the Americus Club-house.
The actual accomplishment of any of these voyages by Americus has even been doubted.
A few of them had seen the vessels of Americus Vespucius and Cabral.
Aunt Edie has a brother living at Americus, Georgia, who is 111 years old.
It was that voyage which inspired the great voyage of Americus in 1497.
With the greatest difficulty he got into the cars at Americus, and came here to-day.

Nicole Richie was briefly hospitalized for dehydration Friday March 2nd after falling ill while filming "The Simple Life."

A strategic retreat from South Korea?
Page Tools
The US is withdrawing its forces at a critical time for the Korean peninsula.
It has been called the most dangerous place on earth, even though actual shooting has been relatively rare there over the past half-century. The truce village of Panmunjom in the middle of the four-kilometre-wide demilitarised zone between North and South Korea marks the point at which the Cold War never really ended. Indeed, the Korean War itself is not yet over. The two sides have merely declared a truce.
The DMZ is perhaps the most heavily fortified place on earth: it is estimated that more than 1 million soldiers face each other with enough weaponry to ensure instant mutual destruction. For the past 50 years, soldiers of the Korean People's Army have faced off against a United Nations force, drawn mainly from South Korea and the United States.
As a potential flashpoint with regional and global security implications, the DMZ has been the focus of intense attention. US President George Bush - who gazed across the DMZ to the north in February 2002 - went so far as to declare North Korea part of the "axis of evil" threatening world peace. Tensions between the West and North Korea later accelerated after an apparent reactivation by Pyongyang of the country's nuclear weapons program.
Against this backdrop, and despite the apparent contradiction, the US last week quietly withdrew its forces from Panmunjom as part of a strategic withdrawal of 12,500 troops from South Korea over five years. The US will also close a base in the capital, Seoul. North Korea, in language still locked in the hyperbole of the Cold War, has responded by accusing the US of replacing troops in the south with a "madcap arms build-up on an unprecedented scale" - a reference to a $US11 billion enhancement of military capabilities on the peninsula - that will precipitate a second Korean war.
With 27,000 troops already committed in South Korea, US military resources were stretched globally by the engagements in Iraq and Afghanistan. Any suggestion, however, that there has been a sudden warming of relations between north and south was dispelled last Monday when vessels from the two nations clashed in disputed waters to the west of the Korean peninsula. A week earlier, South Korean guards found three holes in the fences along the DMZ. Two fishing boats and two North Korean submarines are also believed to have recently strayed into southern waters.
Given the rhetoric of the war on terror, the US withdrawal from South Korea is curious at a time when North Korea is becoming (if it is possible) even more unstable. After several years of famine, a crumbling economy and increasing isolation this failed Stalinist state is running out of options. The threat of Pyongyang trading nuclear technology with terrorists and the erratic leadership of Kim Jong-il offer further cautions against a premature reduction of US military presence in the south.

Mogadishu, Somalia (UPI) Jan 27, 2013
A U.S. missiles strike that reportedly killed a senior commander of al-Shabaab, the Somali Islamist group linked to al-Qaida, indicates the organization remains threat despite recent military setbacks.
The group, now totally controlled by hard-line jihadists after an internal power struggle, is striking out against Somalia's Western-backed transitional government and seems determined to take its 8-year-old conflict to East African countries that support Mogadishu.
Sunday's airstrike underlined U.S. concerns about al-Shabaab's ability to mount operations, including Kenya and Ethiopia, U.S. allies which have contributed substantial numbers of troops to the 18,000-strong African Union peacekeeping force, known as Amisom, which is vital to the survival of the Mogadishu government.
U.S. officials acknowledged the strike on the village of Hawai in the Lower Shabelle region of southern Somalia was aimed at killing a top al-Shabaab figure, but declined to identify the target.
However, Somalia sources said the strike killed Sahal Iskudhuq, a top-tier commander and a high-ranking official in al-Shabaab's highly secretive intelligence unit, the Amniyat, and was close to its overall leader, Ahmed Abdi Godane.
U.S. special forces have killed several al-Shabaab leaders in recent years and in October 2013 attempted to capture Abdulkadir Mohammed Abdulkadir, a Kenyan of Somali origin known as " Ikrima" in an abortive amphibious operation.
In October 2013, the U.S. displayed its concerns about al-Shabaab by secretly deploying a small unit of 5 to 10 advisers to Mogadishu to help the government coordinate operations against al-Shabaab.
They were the first U.S. military personnel based there since the infamous Black Hawk Down episode in 1993 in which 18 American troops were killed.
Iskudhuq's death would be a severe blow to the organization and to Godane, who declared al-Shabaab's allegiance to al-Qaida in 2011.
Senior al-Qaida operatives have served as al-Shabaab leaders in recent years, including Fazul Abdullah Mohammed, mastermind of the August 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam killed by Somali troops at a Mogadishu checkpoint in June 2011.
Kenya, Somalia's northern neighbor, which has been repeatedly targeted by al-Shabaab for aiding Mogadishu, claimed Jan. 9 it killed 30 militants, including three senior leaders, in an airstrike on the group's Birta Dhere camp in the Gedo region near the Ethiopian border.
Kenya has stepped up operations against al-Shabaab since Somali jihadists seized the upscale Westgate shopping mall in central Nairobi, Kenya's capital, in September 2013, their boldest strike outside Somalia since 2010 bombings in Kampala, Uganda, that killed 74 people.
At least 67 people were killed in the Nairobi assault, including four al-Shabaab infiltrators. Nairobi was targeted because of the 4,000 troops it has deployed with Amisom and its crackdown on al-Shabaab sympathizers in Kenya's large Somali community, many of them refugees.
The Birta Dhere strike was launched on the basis of intelligence gathered by Kenya's military that al-Shabaab leaders, including Ahmed Abdi Godane, were meeting in the camp, Western intelligence officials said. If Godane was there, he apparently got away.
Godane, aka Mukhtar Abu Zubayr, seized control of al-Shabaab in June 2013 when he came out on top of a long-running power struggle with his main rival, the group's spiritual leader and elder statesman, Sheik Hassan Dahir Aweys.
Godane, who trained in Afghanistan with al-Qaida, executed Ibrahim al-Afghani, one of the group's co-founders, who was close to Osama bin Laden. Aweys fled and was subsequently captured by government forces.
Godane favors transnational holy war. He has close links with al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, the veteran Egyptian Islamist who took over al-Qaida Central in northern Pakistan after bin Laden was assassinated by U.S. forces near Islamabad May 2, 2011.
Aweys, a cleric, espouses a narrower, more nationalist Somali agenda and opposes foreign intervention in Somalia, which has been torn by clan warfare since dictator Mohammed Said Barre was overthrown in 1991.
Despite the loss of most of al-Shabaab's urban strongholds, particularly the port of Kismayo, to Amison and African forces in 2011-12, the group still holds large swathes of central and southern Somalia.
"The apparent decision by Godane and fellow hard-liners to again take the fight beyond Somalia's borders looks like a bid to regain the initiative in the face of the recent setbacks and disagreements," observed British analyst Simon Tidsall.

Help with Project IGI (Nvidia problem)
Hello all :roll:
This is a pc game with a Nvidia problem because with ATI/AMD it works..
I cannot get this game properly started on windows7 64bit/32bit.
All old games on win7 work except this one (old favorite) :bang:
Direct X message: fatal error - couldn't flip :frown:
I have tried everything so what doesn't work:
Using older directx 9-8-7 files..
Compatibily modes..
Older drivers/newer geforce drivers (i have a GTX260m)
I know its almost impossible but i hope somebody knows a solution.. :)
Project igi 2 works on win 7.
I know that :) but its the first one i am talking about :giggle2:
Try 'compatibility' mode in the executable's properties.
I think it's about damn time we had a Project IGI 3. :D
1+ I also miss project IGI. Last one has been released like ages ago.
"Vector: Try 'compatibility' mode in the executable's properties"
I have tried everything so what doesn't work:
Using older directx 9-8-7 files..
Compatibily modes..
Older drivers/newer geforce drivers (i have a GTX260m)
I tried this one while we were beta testing win7, unfortunately it doesn't work.
The problem with this game is that it is booting, :thumbup:
it can load a level, starts the intro from a level with ingame graphics. :flip2:
But after that hangs if you want to go ingame and you get a fatal Direct X message which is stupid because it don't make sense :) :puke2: :kermit:
If i recall correctly... this game was broken a few years ago back when the..? was
it GF2 or GF3's were around.
An nVidia driver reached a certain number & broke this game.
At the time it would run but you'd get no menus or HUD overlay.. waited for a
patch or driver to fix the issue but they never bothered.
It worked until the famous GeForce 8's unified shader architecture came out.. :micro:
In the beginning it had much artefacts and the direct x error..
Now everything looks nice but until it crashes with the same directx message..
Geforce 7 with the same new drivers (26x.xx) then it works.. :3eyes:
even in windows xp
same problem
i found some solution and it works with my win xp sp3
What was your solution?
bla bla bla !!!!!!!
well it is fix for IGI with graphic with newest GF cards
Hello, I need the fix too. Megaupload is down forever and the nvidia forums are down as well. Can someone share this fix with me please?
Finally !!!
Never thought all problems would be fixed.
With the latest Nvidia drivers on a fully updated Win7 64bit and DirectX and a "fix" it is all GREAT. XD
Someone uploaded the "fix" (love that word) on Nvidia forums. :)
And here it is:
Just copy past it in the main folder and open the .exe file that came with it.. ;)
On my GTX260M i dont need this "fix" with latest Nvidia drivers.
With a GTX570 this "fix" (really.. love it) is needed for a normal (not glitching) main menu. (settings etc..)
Im so happy now playing this full HD.. :3
Btw thanxxxx wartexmx for that link and helping me out. ;)
Project IGI e IGI 2 worked for years on all my pcs including W7 x64 without any fix.
only issue i ever had was widescreen resolutions and that was easy. :P
glad you fixed your problem, even after all this time.
Blimey this takes me back, was a cracking game :D
why my EsEt screaming :mad::pc1: it seems this link provide some kind of virus somebody can check?:evilgrin:
gog variant works fine when I had issues with my cd version

11-year-old Boy Left Behind on School Bus
A San Diego mother whose disabled son was left alone on a sweltering school bus says the principal of the school tried to cover up the mistake.
Ena Walters says Monday morning, her 11-year-old son was supposed to be dropped off at summer school at Walt Whitman Elementary School in Clairemont.
"My son was found wandering the transportation yard," she told 10News.
Walters says not only is she upset that it happened, but upset because she believes the principal covered up what actually happened.
"That the driver turned around and brought him back to school," said Walters, referring to what she says the principal told her Monday.
But that is not what the boy or the district told 10News.
"It just wasn't adding up with what my son was saying," she said.
Walters says her son was supposed to be at school by 8:55 a.m., but at about 9:30 a.m., another driver saw the boy standing near another bus in the school yard in Kearny Mesa.
The mother says her son woke up because of the heat – which was roughly 81 degrees that day – but much warmer inside a hot vehicle.
"But I do know that if I left my son in the car that, you know, I would have been arrested," she said.
In May, Zia Estrada, another special needs student who was left alone on her San Diego Unified school bus.
It was one of the reasons Walters says she decided to contact 10News. She said she wanted to let us know that it happened again.
Principal Olga Venegas would not talk with 10News on camera, but San Diego Unified School District spokeswoman Linda Zintz told 10News:
"We are taking this very seriously. In the future, we will implement additional training for bus drivers to make sure they understand and follow protocol."
Walters wants the driver and the principal to learn from their mistakes.
"It's protocol," she said. "Just check the seats for the kids."
10News was told the bus driver has been put on unpaid leave while they investigate. Part of that investigation will determine if she walked down the aisle and checked the bus before she left it in the yard.

One year into the Edwards administration
These are anxious times for all of the candidates in this year's elections, but you need only turn the calendar back one year to imagine the nerves and apprehension that car dealer Danny Edwards experienced as he ran for Walhalla mayor. Speaking at last night's Partners for Progress annual meeting, Edwards touched on what year one has been like for him and what virtually is an entire new council. He says they are learning and making progress. About streetscape, the mayor said a recent meeting with the DOT went well. "It's not going to happen overnight," Edwards said. "Will there be problems? Absolutely," the mayor said.

Where is the Light?
By: Candace Chellew-Hodge
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who lived in a land of deep darkness - on them light has shined. -Isaiah 9:2
The past few years has been a time of great darkness for many people in the United States. Unemployment has hit an all time high, wages are stagnant, homes are being repossessed at a record rate. People are walking in darkness in these times of economic distress.
This coming year, I join that darkness as my "pay the bills so I can support my ministry habit" job ended. It was a grant position and when the grant ended, so did my employment. I recently received the notice from the state on how much money I'll get on unemployment. It did not shed much light in the darkness.
That gathering dusk grew darker as we lost my partner's mother just before Christmas. Her death was sudden. She was cooking lunch in her kitchen when she fell to ground - never to recover consciousness. She had not been sick, so her death was a shock to us all - and the darkness grew.
This past Advent season has been the most poignant for me - and the has brought the true meaning of waiting for a Savior closer to my understanding - as I wait for the savior in the form of a job. My mother-in-law now rests in the arms of the Savior - her waiting over - her darkness lifted - but still we go in the dark without her.
The darkness of the last few weeks of 2010 was heavy on my mind as I drove home late one evening. I was contemplating the darkness that surrounded me, and the grief I had been holding back over my job ending, and my partner's mother passing. I was feeling like the darkness around me would swallow me whole - and then I saw it.
There, behind the trees, I caught a glimpse of light. As the trees cleared, it took my breath away - a beautiful, full moon, shining brightly in the darkness. The moon was low on the horizon and seemed to loom large in the sky.
Isaiah 9:2 came to my mind like a lightning bolt. "The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who lived in a land of deep darkness - on them light has shined."
Within my deep darkness, a light shone - and brightly. The darkness all around that glowing ball did not overcome it - did not extinguish or diminish it. In that moment, God spoke. I knew, no matter how dark life may become now or in the coming year - that light would always shine - brightly - never overcome by any darkness.
What made me happiest in the moment, however, was to realize that it was not the moon shining down upon me, but light reflected from the one source that gives our planet life - the Sun. Just as the Sun's rays reflect on the moon and give us light even in our darkest nights, so does the light of the ultimate Son reflect down upon us.
We see the light of the Son reflected everywhere around us - in our family, in our friends, in our churches, in our pets, in the trees of the forest, and the lilies of the field. Everywhere, everyone and all creation reflects the light of the Son. It is only when we forget to enjoy that "Sonshine" that grow depressed and give in to our despair. The Son shines all around us, and yet often we prefer the darkness, the "woe is me" moments of hopelessness. Why? Why wallow in despair when all we need to do is look around and enjoy the Son? There is no darkness that can overcome this reflective light. Stop looking at the darkness around you, and instead turn your eyes to the reflected light of the Son all around you.
Writer Richard Rohr reminds us that "at a certain point, we have to surrender to the fact that the darkness has always been here, and the only real question is how to receive the light and spread the light."
This is a season of darkness - but the light shines on. Let us receive and spread the light.

Us, like Yanks? Fair go, sport!

John Howard and George Bush might be close, but a study has confirmed what many Australians suspected: Americans aren't like us at all.
While the study found some common ground, there are also surprising differences. And they're not just about the different meanings we attach to words like "barbie", "snag" and "fag".
The Leadership Victoria study confirmed stereotyped differences in such areas as politics, authority, egalitarianism and sex.
Australians were less respectful of authority (39 per cent compared with 56 per cent of Americans) and less likely to show allegiance to a major political party. About a third of Australians say they have no political allegiance, compared with only a quarter of Americans.
And despite our reputation for a fiercely held egalitarianism, more Australians harbour notions about the "survival of the fittest". Of course, more Americans still had a Darwinian streak.
Based on research carried out by Quantum/AustraliaSCAN and on face-to-face interviews with 2000 Australians and phone interviews with 1200 Americans, the data showed that many more Australians believe government should play a big role in society. Americans were more suspicious of government; many had concerns about threats to privacy, something that did not seem to worry as many Australians.
The study also found sharp differences in attitudes towards business. For example, less than a third of adult Americans said business leaders could be trusted to do the right thing almost always or most of the time. But in Australia, only 4 per cent had much confidence in consumer information from major companies.
What should worry Australian companies even more, 30 per cent of Australians said they had little or no confidence in the information.
At the same time, Americans were more likely to want business to get involved with the community.
Aussies were less likely to be involved in religious or spiritual activities (37 per cent versus 62 per cent). They were also more likely to be more pluralistic, and more inclined to tolerate people leading alternative lifestyles. (57 per cent versus 45 per cent).
Just as many Australians regarded homosexuality as acceptable as the number of Americans who did not. More than 60 per cent of Australians were "permissive" about sexual mores, with only one in 10 espousing a more "restrictive" approach. By contrast, only four in 10 Americans were "permissive". Only slightly fewer were puritanical.
And, despite a reputation for being early adopters of new technologies and new products - research in the telecommunications industry shows that 45 per cent of Australian teenagers aged 13 to 15 now own a mobile phone, higher than any other country in the region - the Leadership Victoria study shows that Australians tend to be less impressed than Americans by technology for its own sake.

I am not in favor of voluntary labeling of foods which have NOT used GE ingredients. What I would like to see is Mandatory labeling..either in a separate area or in the ingredients list of foods which USE genetically altered ingredients. I do not think it is fair for the companies to have to bear the burden of proof that their product is free of GE material. Better that those who wish to use these products display that on the label, so that we the consumer can choose whether or not we wish to purchase it. This must be done before the proliferation of Genetically altered crops becomes so ingrained in our agriculture and food supply that we will end up having no say in the quality and contents of our food. The FDA works for the PEOPLE of the U.S., not Big Business and this person wants to see mandatory labeling for GE ingredients not the other way around. Thank You, Diane Wright

Thanks for the great round up.
I've tried several font kits from FontSquirrel, but the display quality of the fonts is not convincing. Either the conversion into EOT or SVG causes this, or the browsers are simply not up to the task to handle fonts on that level.We're still not there if we want to achieve good legibilty. But if we want to fool around with exotic fonts to show off that web fonts are technically here, then that's OK, I guess.
I discovered that if you resize the font to some arbitrary size (I used the font-size: 62.5% thing that makes 1em=10 pixels) then the rounding errors completely destroy the look of most fonts. I took this out, and the fonts suddenly sorted themselves out.

-Good Klean Killin'-
How do you rank on the internet?
dope but not feelin tha leg on the R its to thin fatten it
gasr - im feelin that shit man. dope
i kno this shit is wack right now but this is jus a new idea i got for a throw
anyone got any ideas what i should do with it?
gasr - see if you can add something where the leg of the "r" is. the big black spot doesn't look good.
vandal - get rid of the space between the letters.
J-one, that's sick
Vandal, I think the spaces add some kind of character to it
gasr - im not feeling your A, and fix up the leg of the R like everyone else said. pretty dope other than that though
the vandalism in art-
gasR- DOPE
Camel, so clean
I am going to do the fill tonight with these nice markers I just picked up.
deck, make your D more rounded so it matches the rest of the letters.
Deck are u trying to make a throwie? When making letters, don't take your pencil off the paper and go for smooth curves if thats how you want to flow it but a combo that you're using doesn't work son. Make shapes and create letters from the shapes, don't try to make letters that looks like shapes know what I mean?
I just filled it, that will be the last time I colour it in all the way with these things. But I think they are refillable so +.
trying something new..
crits please
no way your writing dozer that would be so gay
Who gives a shit, he's probs gonna change his word half a dozen times before he settles like most people, anyway.
i fucked the E crits please
Workin on ma flow.
Cyto- looks like you on the right path man.
deck- keep praticeing your simples, and throws and stuff.

The Plan
Remember when I mentioned in the last post that there are so.many.breweries? Well. For realsies. I just can't keep up. But you guys…I FINALLY FINISHED! I completed the Seattle Beerventure on June 24, 2015 at Burdick in West Seattle/South Park, only to have another taproom open up and a brewery down the street from my work (no taproom) get a tap at Naked City!
Before I delve into the Beerventure, a *quick* life update (my apologies to those of you who don't care…ish)
- I moved to Ballard on September 1st. It was time to leave Cap Hill, and pretty much Toby is super dreamy and heroic and saved me from the swarms of ants and stupid rent increases. That being said, I definitely had a few Monica moments where I realized I was going to be living with a boy. #chachaandrizzo4eva
- I went to Washington Brewers Festival, turned in my first WABL passport with 57 breweries and 63 total stamps. I WON. A scarf and a new membership.
- I sang in New Voices again at the beginning of August…got to sing backup for the stupidly amazingly talented Andi. I assume it will be on YouTube soon. You should watch it. #rifftastic #beltingschool
- I helped my friend Mike Spee bottle the OkTOBYfest beer for Toby's 32nd birthday. Because it's PUNNY.
- I'm studying my Spanish for my tests at the end of this month. Adios mío.
- Work sells hard alcohol now and now I'm more than a beer maid Thursday-Saturdays. Come visit and drink a basil citrus Counterbalance Crush. It's not delicious at all.
…that was a lie. I could drink a pitcher.
So back to Beerventuring…I have seriously had so much fun in the last year. And to be honest, I've learned a lot, my tastes have changed, and I feel like I'm part of a community. I get asked a lot, "Top 5?" (it's always Top 5), so I'll be doing a final write up, hopefully in the next couple weeks, to spotlight some of my favs. But now on to the finale!
Burdick Brewing
Beers I Tried:
1. Pale
3. Azacca IPA
Another brewery in a warehouse space; shares a building with Lowercase, so you can get a two-for-one trip out of it! It was an almost 2-hr bus ride from Ballard, but the things you do to complete your goals, amiright? They had a big projector and were showing the Sounders game, but not a lot of seating options. Bartender was super friendly!
They only had three beers on tap when I got there (they had *just* reopened, maybe a month earlier?); definitely liked the pale the best, then the IPA, then the Azacca (I haven't been a big fan of Azacca hops so far…prove me wrong, beer world!). Overall, it was good beer. I will try it again at Festivals or if I head down to Lowercase, but I don't know if I'd go THAT out of my way to try it again; South Park, why are you so far away??
And in other Seattle beer news…
Northwest Peaks
Toby and I went to the new Northwest Peaks location…it's great! Where the 2 Bit Saloon used to be; so much more space, and cool feel to it. The two new (to me) beers I tried were the Ingalls Ginger (good) and the Brown Berlinweisse (YUM! An odd one, but surprisingly super tasty!)
Flying Bike Cooperative Brewing
Beers I tried:
1. Fly-PA
2. Airship Ale
3. Pale Hoppy Thing Vol. 1
4. Lavender Haze IPA
5. Bike Rye'd Saison
6. Penny Farthing Golden Wheat Ale
7. 7 Spoke Stout
8. Storm Cycle CDA
I really wanted to hit this place up opening weekend…as luck would have it, the boys couldn't join, so WE ENDED UP GETTING ALL THE GIRLS TOGETHER! #sisterhoodofthetravelingpints (<-PS for reals. I want shirts.) (Also I love these girls so much.) Had to go back a second time with the boyfriend a week later, hence the many beers.
Love the space. It was PACKED opening weekend, and for good reason: good beer! The Pale Hoppy Thing was by FAR my favorite, I also enjoyed the CDA and the Golden Wheat. Usually I appreciate a lavender beer, but the IPA was giving me full soap. Also wasn't a huge fan of the stout. I understand that they were having troubles getting things done in the time constraints, so hopefully they'll have some time and space to dial things in…seriously, it's off to a great start, and there's plenty of great options. Excited that it's so close to my new place!
Olympic Range Brewing
Beers I tried:
1. Gravelly Beach Session IPA
I met the ORB brewer Todd at work; the brewery is only a couple blocks from the pizza place, so when he told me his beer had been tapped at Naked City (and they were in talks to tap it at the pizza place…*SPOILER ALERT* it's now on tap!), Pam and I headed over to check it out after Flying Bike. I'm a sucker for a session beer as they still have that hoppy flavor but a bit less of the bitterness in IPAs and IIPAs, and really enjoyed the Gravelly Beach. It's 2.8%, so you can have a few; also low calorie! A bit more bodied than what I expect for a session, so if you want flavor and low alcohol, this is a great option. He's got a session brown listed on his website that I am intrigued by as well. Can't wait to see how customers respond in the store!

First Quality Accounts published
The first snapshot of the Canterbury Health System's performance is now available.
The Quality Accounts is an overview of how the Canterbury Health System has been meeting the health needs of the people in its community during 2011-12.
CDHB has produced the publication ahead of the Health Quality & Safety Commission recommending each District Health Board produces a yearly Quality Account from next year. It will be produced annually and sit alongside the Canterbury District Health Board's Financial Accounts.
David Meates, CDHB Chief Executive, says the Canterbury Health System is focused on providing the right care and support, by the right person, at the right time in the right place. We have a real focus on supporting people to stay well in the community.
"All of the people who work in the Canterbury Health System play an important role in ensuring we deliver safe and high quality health services. We are all part of one Canterbury Health System team and together we will make it better for the people of Canterbury," Mr Meates says.
"Through the Quality Accounts we have shared with the people of Canterbury our successes, some stories and experiences of consumers, what we have learnt and our future improvement plans."
Quality Accounts focus on:
• The consumer experience
• Reducing alcohol-related harm
• Managing influenza
• Managing avoidable hospital admissions
• Zero harm from falls
• Preventing patients in our hospitals being harmed
• Improving end of life care
The CDHB is welcoming feedback on the Quality Accounts. An electronic version of CDHB's Quality Accounts is available here http://www.cdhb.govt.nz/communications/documents/CDHB%20Quality%20Accounts.pdf

There are a couple of problems here.
First[ Fourier returns a list with the zero frequency term first. Generally, you want this to be in the center of the list. So, you need to ListPlot[RotateRight[amplitude,n/2]] to move the zero frequency term to the center.
Second, your labels imply you want the vertical axis in dB. But what you've plotted are the absolute values of the coefficients which will not be in dB. The usual scheme is to reference everything to the coefficient with the largest absolute value. So, to get dB you need 10 Log[10,amplitude/Max[amplitude]]

Detective Constable Charles Metcalfe, 40, of Newtownards PSNI Station, admitted two charges of false accounting of sickness certificates.
The court was told he worked in Iraq for £265 a day while he was supposed to be off through stress and depression.
Metcalfe was sentenced to 12 months in jail suspended for two years.
His defence lawyer said Metcalfe was under considerable private and domestic pressure at the time and he had gone to Iraq in a bid to ease the financial strain he was under.
The lawyer said it was the "worst decision of his life" and that he was trying to "ride two horses at once".
The judge said it was very sad to have a police officer in front of the court who had fallen from the high standards expected from a member of the PSNI.
He said the case amounted to a breach of trust made all the more serious because he was a serving police officer.

mcqueen and psyche
>> Alexander McQueen, son of a cabbie, has made himself into one of the most powerful designers in the world. And it doesn't look like he's going away anytime soon, considering the success of his Hitchockian Fall/Winter collection. I have the utmost respect for this man, who has always lived by his own rules, at times flipping the world the bird. Like the time twenty years ago, for instance, when as an apprentice he wrote "I am a cunt" in the lining of a jacket destined for the Prince of Wales.
In anticipation of his new collection's debut in Paris, The Guardian did a wonderful article on McQueen that made me respect him even more. One of my favorite excerpts:
McQueen has always been more about psychology than clothes. He is not particularly interested in pretty faces or pretty clothes simply on a superficial level. ("David Beckham is vainer than the veins on my dick," he once said, with consummate delicacy.) Psychological themes crop up time and again. As well as shows based on Hitchcock and Picnic at Hanging Rock, there have been collections inspired by Lord of the Flies, chess games, and asylums. McQueen calls his shows "my own living nightmares", but part of the power of the shows is due to the fact that they have an emotional resonance with audiences as well, McQueen having the outsider's ability to take a clear-eyed look into the fashion world. Sometimes he feels like the fashion industry's therapist, he jokes.

This morning today I got a ten word lesson from a friend while helping with breakfast at the Holy Family Catholic Worker house here in Kansas City.
The breakfast is a pretty casual deal. We just put out some toast (along with peanut butter and jelly), fill some pots with coffee, and hard-boil a few eggs if there's been a donation lately.
Mostly it's just a chance for people to come inside for a bit before they go about their day. After breakfast many of our guests head out to find day work.
Often during the time we're open in the morning people use our phones to call their contacts and try and find something they can do that will pay a few dollars.
As I was sitting having some peanut butter toast this morning, a short man named James came over to the table from the phone in a little bit of a huff. He was stomping his feet as he made his way over.
I said, "James, what's wrong?"
He looked at me gravely for a moment, explaining that he was just told that the interview he was supposed to have for the day was canceled. He said the call made him feel stuck, like he wouldn't ever be able to find good work because people had typecast him because of his economic position in certain day labor jobs.
Then James cracked a short, wry smile as he uttered the next words.
"I feel like Brando!" he said. "I can do love scenes too!"
Boy, did everybody at the table have a good laugh at that one. But if there's a better way to express the way people facing economic poverty in our society are treated I certainly don't know it.

DNA tests have confirmed that a man fathered seven children with his daughter while holding her captive for 24 years, Austrian authorities say.
Josef Fritzl, who appeared in court last night, will also remain in police custody.
Fritzl appeared earlier this week before a district court that referred him to a judge in St Poelten the provincial capital of Lower Austria.
The judge ordered that police could keep him in detention while inquiries continue.
Officials said Fritzl said nothing on the advice of his lawyer.
Gunther Moerwald, head of St Poelten prison, said Fritzl had been calm when he arrived and was being monitored to ensure he did not harm himself in the jail.

I have a 2005 Ford Focus 5 speed. I'm planning on changing the plugs and wires this weekend and am looking for suggestions concerning a good, all-around, affordable spark plug to purchase. Any advice? Also- what is the recommended gap-width and how do I set it?
Thanks!2005 Ford Focus spark plugs...?I am guessing it came with Motorcraft or Autolites, good plugs and probably platinum. You should not have to change them until 100,000 miles. and I also don't think you have wires. My Focus has Coil on Plug system .. the coil is directly above each plug.. If it is not running well it may be a different problem.. do you have a %26quot;check engine lite on%26quot;??.. Auto-zone will read the code and tell you what the problem is..2005 Ford Focus spark plugs...?NGK is what i use i don't know the gap on your plugs but if you look under your hood there is a white sticker that should tell you or its in the owners manual. you will need a plug gapper. you can pick it up when you buy your plugs. the gapper is only a buck. the place you buy the plugs from can tell you what the gap is and will even show how to use the gapper. but most NGKs are pre gapped but is a good i dea to check them.2005 Ford Focus spark plugs...?N G K anytime2005 Ford Focus spark plugs...?Get NGK plugs but make sure they are the correct ones listed for the car, dont use the motorcraft plugs they are rubbish! Get you spark plug wires from the dealer, I have put aftermarket ones in befor and it usuall leads to the spark tracing down the inside of the lead, ruining the plug and causing a missfire.
If the plugs speced for your car a platnium they will be gapped out of the box, DONT touch them just put them in, they have a very small center electrode which is easily bent/damaged.
As for the plugs lasting 100,000 miles, Im pretty sure the factory change is supposed to be at 60,000 miles or before.
Most of the focus's Ive worked on have developed missfires before this so probably better to change them more often anyway2005 Ford Focus spark plugs...?Dude, if you are asking how to set your plugs and what type to buy on here, DON'T do it yourself! Take it to a real mechanic, you are driving a car with a misspelling, it should be spelled with two %26quot;U%26quot;s and no %26quot;O%26quot;2005 Ford Focus spark plugs...?well, i would go with BOCSH PLATINUM spark plugs, there pretty good plugs, and for the gap, it should say the gap SPECS under the hood somewhere where the engine info sticker is, just buy a spark plug gapper and set them to the correct measurment.

Bedford, NH (CNSNews.com) - Utah Senator Orrin Hatch warned Granite State voters that the election of Vice President Al Gore or former New Jersey Senator Bill Bradley would result in liberal domination of the US Supreme Court.
Hatch, whose New Hampshire presidential campaign has been characterized as "stealth," made his remarks before 70 people at a "Politics & Eggs" breakfast in this Manchester suburb.
"This country will drastically change if Al Gore or Bill Bradley becomes the next President of the United States," Hatch said. "Many of these liberals want to use the court...to pass an agenda which they were unable to get through the Congress."
Hatch, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, said the impact of either a Gore or Bradley general election victory would not only be felt on the nation's highest court but throughout the federal district and appellate court level.
Hatch insisted a liberal-dominated federal judiciary would weaken the rights of gun owners, eliminate the death penalty, impose racial and ethnic quotas and give criminals more rights than their victims.
Hatch, who has raised only $2.5 million in his quest for the White House and has registered no more than two percent in any of the many polls taken in the state, said he hopes to finish fourth in the New Hampshire primary on February 1st .
Hatch also criticized New Hampshire front-runner and fellow Senator, John McCain, over his tax proposal and his frequent assertion that, if elected, he would remove some 12,000 military personnel from food stamps. Hatch wondered aloud why McCain has failed to accomplish that during his more than two terms in the US Senate.
On taxes, Hatch compared the McCain tax cut plan to one which would appeal largely to Bradley and Gore. Hatch also said that the Bush plan as one which would never make it through the Congress, and he called the Forbes and Bauer proposals as bad as the current tax code.

BEIRUT — At least 28,000 Syrians have gone missing since they were abducted by forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad during the 19-month-old revolt, activist group Avaaz said Thursday.
Quoting statements from Syrian human rights lawyers and families, Avaaz said security forces had set out to terrorize communities by grabbing people off the street and torturing them.
[np-related /]
Other rights groups have also accused Syrian rebel groups of abducting people they deem pro-government.
Video footage accompanying the Avaaz statement showed two soldiers stopping a man and a woman, forcing them to the ground and dragging them away.
The film also showed an interview with a man saying his wife had been abducted six months ago in the Baba Amr district of Homs, which has been partly levelled by government bombardment.
"I lived my whole life with her," said the middle-aged man with his back to the camera, taking a…
