THE weather played havoc with Salisbury's Christmas lights switch-on event on Thursday.
Organisers were forced to scale back the event due to high winds and the forecast heavy rain, cancelling the fireworks display and using the Guildhall steps instead of setting up a stage and a big screen.
Some of the town's lights were not switched on as people left the Market Place and Wiltshire Fire & Rescue Service had to be called in during the event to retrieve a set of lights that blew down in Blue Boar Row.
Although a flock of teenage girls were not put by the lack of fireworks or the weather as they turned up to catch a glimpse of X Factor boyband District 3, who switched on the lights with the help of Father Christmas.
Salisbury City Council's business manager Claire Burden said the council had no choice but to scale down the event due to safety concerns and could not postpone it because work on setting up the city's first Christmas market was scheduled to start in the Guildhall Square the following morning.
She said: "Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong.
"It was quite a different event to the usual, but we still had about 3,000 people there, which was a really good number, despite the weather.
"It was always going to be disappointing for those expecting fireworks but we did everything we could."
Mayor John Collier said: "A whole year of planning was very suddenly turned upside down by the extreme weather correctly predicted and it would have been unsafe to set up the technical infrastructure required.
"Likewise, in the interests of safety, the firework element of the event also had to be cancelled due to the strong winds.
"The decision to scale back the event was not taken lightly."
He said that next year's event will be bigger and better than ever and urged people to support the Christmas market.

PEN and paper is making way for computers at St Mary's College after they launched a new iLearn lab.
The Blackburn college has bought 20 iPads and has wifi access so pupils can bring their own devices in to use for lessons.
Classes have been using the new area and taking advantage of the technology to find innovative ways of using iPads to help improve their learning and find lessons more fun.
The area also includes eight PCs, a selection of laptops and handheld video cameras to enhance their learning.
It follows the move of some schools nationally which have started to phase out the use of writing materials in favour of computer learning. IT manager Paul Holmes said: "It's smaller than an A4 folders, and can hold more information than everything in the college library.
"Five years ago teachers would be telling students to put away their mobiles and music players, and now we are encouraging them to take them out and teach us what they know.
"Roles are almost being reversed. We are being taught how to use them to the best of their ability by the students, and then we apply that use to lessons.
"We have done it because we have seen an increase in students bringing iPads into college. There's so many apps out there which means we can allow the students to learn in an innovative way.
"We would like to expand the number of iPads over the next few years, and eventually we would like every students to have their own."
Currently, staff are able to book the room for classes.
Since Christmas the college has seen the number of iPads on the school's 'moodle' website and server increase to more than 100 because students received them as gifts.
The technology has been used in sports lessons. Students have filmed themselves and uploaded the footage to the app where they study technique.
Fashion students have used templates to design dresses and other items.
Mr Holmes said: "In the real world students will be expected to use technology like this and this initiative gives them the confidence to think outside the box.
"The college promotes handwriting skills as it is still a vital life skill, especially when applying for jobs. Some employees analyse handwriting as the first step in checking suitablility for a post and this is often done from the application form or a test.
"We have seen students using iPads alongside their pens and paper, making notes from web sources."

Working Class at MOPA
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. The jury is still out on this one, but I'm pretty sure it's still tough out there for a lot of people. There's not much ten dollars can get you these days. If you're anything like me and looking for some penny pinching fun, come on down to MOPA tomorrow evening for the premiere of Working Class!
MOPA is partnering with Sezio for the debut of Working Class, a feature length documentary about San Diego and San Francisco artists, Mike Maxwell and Mike Giant. In this film, director Jeffery Durkin presents a loose, modern interpretation of Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities. Structured around Dickens' themes of country, war, history, politics, religion, and family, Working Class explores the visual imagery of San Diego and San Francisco through the eyes and works of Maxwell and Giant. Both artists will be present at tomorrow's event. The film also features interviews and music by The Silent Comedy, who will be performing prior to the screening. And as always, Alchemy will be crafting delicious cocktails for your consumption.
Going beyond just having a terrific Thursday night, coming out to support Working Class is a great way to support local arts organizations like MOPA and Sezio. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Sezio, it is an outstanding non-profit organization that provides resources, exposure, and community support to up-and-coming musicians and artists. We truly appreciate their creative collaboration and are consistently amazed by the various events they bring to the San Diego community. Check out their website for upcoming events!
For all the folks who tl;dr this post, here's what you need to know:
- General tickets: $10, MOPA and Sezio Members: $8.00 (Ok I am just going to say it. Ten dollars for a movie and live music? Plus, it doesn't exceed the measly monthly entertainment budget mint.com gave me! Steal! )
- Doors open at 7:00 PM, film begins at 8:00 PM
- Trailer for Working Class

Safety-Aware Transportation Systems: Cooperative Autonomous Driving for Vehicular Networks
Reza Olfati-Saber, Thayer School of Engineering
Friday, February 18, 2011, 3:30pm
This seminar is part of the Jones Seminars on Science, Technology, and Society series
The existing transportation systems are mostly controlled by humans who are prone to making errors causing collisions, fatalities, and unnecessary traffic congestion. High levels of road congestion significantly contributes to air pollution in large cities, wasting fuel, and adding to the frustration of drivers. More than a million road accident fatalities occur world-wide every year. Some of the main causes of traffic accidents are 1) weather and road conditions; 2) drivers and pedestrians being distracted or intoxicated; and 3) the inability of human drivers to predict and react to imminent threats. Our objective is to design the first generation of "safety-aware transportation systems" in which the vehicles are equipped with embedded sensing, control, computing, and communication devices. The embedded sensors enable the vehicles to detect and track the roads, dividers, and the surrounding pedestrians, bikers, and vehicles (i.e., obstacles). In this talk, we demonstrate that driving on a lane is a nontrivial task for a fleet of vehicles requiring beyond pairwise inter-vehicle interactions. Furthermore, a safe way of passing slower vehicles requires a detailed set of considerations and actions similar to manual driving by humans. Our approach to design of autonomous driving algorithms is more inspired by flocking behavior of birds during migrations than human behavior. Using tools from distributed control theory for networked multi-agent systems and nonlinear control, we design novel driving algorithms that enable vehicular networks to autonomously perform tasks such as lane-driving, lane-change, passing, handling intersections, and braking. We present both experimental and analytical results that illustrate the effectiveness of our cooperative autonomous driving algorithms.

A9 TV; 8 February 2012
The Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) intellect works through revelation, and his prayer is heeded. He prays and it is heeded, he prays and it is heeded. So let them fear Allah and believe that something extraordinary is going on, insha'Allah.
(About Mr. Adnan Oktar's book Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and Islamic Union)
It is a wonderful work. Every young person must now have a copy of it. When you go to visit people who still believe in the "collective personality," you can say "Salam Alaikum" and leave a copy of the book that you are holding under your arm on their table.
(The famous American monthly magazine 'The Sun' referred the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) as he promises an era of hope.
"According to figures emerging from research into the Bible, divisions between the faiths will come to an end in 2012." What does that mean? The reign of Islam will come after 2012. Is what I have been saying true? That is great news. In other words, they are saying that, "Jesus the Messiah (pbuh) is alive and will go into action in 2012." 2012 is the year when the way of the Mahdi and Jesus the Messiah (pbuh) will go into action.
According to the Judaic calendar, 2012 is also the age when Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), the King Messiah, the King Moshiach will go into action, the beginning of the age. And the Mayan tradition refers to December 21st, 2012, when there will be a great change in the world.2012-02-29 10:59:38

TRAVELLERS are playing a game of cat and mouse with council officials, pulling onto Branksome's Beach Road car park just hours before an eviction notice would have forced them to leave Poole's Baiter Park.
A dozen traveller caravans and two motor homes drove onto the upper tier of the Beach Road car park earlier today, hours after the unauthorised encampment was served with an eviction notice at Baiter.
Borough of Poole have confirmed that some of the travellers at Beach Road are the same as those who moved on from Baiter around 7am on Friday.
- In Depth: the eight new potential gypsy and traveller sites under consideration in Dorset
Traveller sites: your frequently asked questions put to the authorities
Poole council's regulatory team manager Jeff Morley said: "We are aware that the travellers who have recently been occupying Baiter Park have now left the site.
"Some of these travellers have now set up an unauthorised encampment on the top part of Beach Road car park.
"The remaining areas of the car park are however still open for public use.
"As this car park is particularly well-used during the school summer holidays we will be serving the group with direction orders on Monday."
Direction orders are a pre-cursor to securing court time, where officers will apply for an eviction order.
Mr Morley, said: "If they do not move on we will take this matter to court on Wednesday."
The borough also insists moves will soon be underway to secure the site at Baiter – by placing a large number of Purbeck stones around the entrance to prevent further vehicle access.
Holiday-makers continued to use Beach Road car park, as it is close to Poole's popular Branksome Beach.
Visitor Thomas Morrison said: "I can see why some people may feel uncomfortable parking their cars when there's a lot of traveller caravans parked up, but if anything, at least there's a human presence here to deter criminals."
Nearby residents had a different take on the situation.
One, who asked not to be named by the Daily Echo, said: "Frankly, it is worrying for a lot of neighbours to have them setting up home in the car park.
"They've been in there before and it does feel intimidating to a certain degree."
Borough of Poole also served direction orders on the unauthorised encampment adjacent to Staples car park, Fleetsbridge.
If this group do not leave the site, the council will go to court on Wednesday to seek an eviction order.

Data Services
Since data is rarely in a form required by applications and services, and is often not even in a single data source, a key requirement for data services is that they abstract the data from its physical persistence structure, presenting it in a form that is closer to the needs of the using application. This effectively decouples consuming applications from the structure of the underlying data.
Hand-in-hand with abstraction, a federated query engine is required to execute the transformations defining the abstraction layers in an efficient manner, and to expose the abstracted structures through uniform and standard APIs.
The two key components of a data services architecture, then, are:
- Modeling environment, to define the abstraction layers -- views and Web services
- Execution environment, to actualize the abstract structures from the underlying data, and expose them through standard APIs. A query engine is a required part of the execution environment, to optimally federate data from multiple disparate sources.
See SOAs and Data Services for more information on the role data services play in an SOA.
Technical and Business Viewpoints
Data services can be viewed from both a technology vantage point, or from a business viewpoint.
The Technology Viewpoint
Teiid provides a suite of projects that provide data services to business applications. That is, Teiid provides a means to access integrated data from multiple data sources, through your preferred standards-based API. Teiid provides access to federated information through JDBC (SQL or XQuery), ODBC (SQL or XQuery), and SOAP (Web services).
The Business Viewpoint
A more business- or user-centric view of data services is that they are information representations required by business applications. From this perspective, data services are defined and designed by business analysts, modelers, and developers to represent the information structures required by business applications. Often, a key design goal is one of interoperability - the requirement that systems work together seamlessly, including when exchanging data. Teiid provides graphical and other tools for defining these interoperable data services, essentially relational and XML views that can be used by business applications in a semantically-meaningful manner.
These two viewpoints roughly correspond to the Execution and Modeling components of a data services solution, respectively.
Data Services - An Essential Part of an SOA
Data services are a key part of a service-oriented architecure, or SOA. They provide the necessary interface to data for all business services.
- tei·id (TEE-id)
- adj. pertaining to a family of tropical American whip-tailed lizards noted for speed and agility.
- n. a set of open source enterprise information integration tools noted for their ability to rapidly create data services that can quickly adapt to changes in your IT environment.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Coming off a thrilling double overtime victory over the University of Tampa in their regular season finale, a loss which eliminated the Spartans from postseason consideration, the Saint Leo men's soccer team (9-5-0, 4-4-0 SSC) has landed the fifth seed in the 2011 Sunshine State Conference Tournament, it was announced Thursday evening by league officials.
Saint Leo will challenge fourth-seeded Barry University in Tuesday's quarterfinal round with the winner advancing to play top-seeded Lynn in Friday's semifinal round. Game time for the single elimination contest is set for 7:00 p.m. from Buccaneer Field in Miami Shores, Fla.
Both squads tallied 12 points in the SSC standings, but it was Barry (11-2-3, 3-2-3 SSC) who controlled the regular season matchup as the Buccaneers collected a 6-0 win. Since the setback Saint Leo has won two-straight contests, including consecutive double overtime, shutout victories over Florida Tech and Tampa.
Barry's Mark Anderson leads the league in scoring with 19 goals, while the Lions' Joel Purkiss and Edgar Herrera have scored seven and five goals, respectively.
The tournament will travel through Boca Raton, however, as top-seeded Lynn will host the semifinals on Friday, Nov. 4, and the championship final on Sunday, Nov. 6.
The top six teams in the SSC regular-season standings earn the opportunity to compete in the SSC Championship.
With a 2-0 win over Barry on Wednesday afternoon, Lynn (12-4, 6-2 SSC) locked up the SSC regular-season championship and the No. 1 seed in the tournament. The Fighting Knights chalked 18 points in conference play and will receive a quarterfinal bye.
Florida Tech (9-5-1, 5-2-1 SSC) downed Eckerd 1-0 in its regular-season finale on Thursday to secure the No. 2 seed and the other quarterfinal bye. The Panthers collected 16 points in league competition.
Rollins (12-3, 5-3 SSC) posted 15 points to take the No. 3 seed. The Tars will host No. 6 Eckerd (9-6-1, 3-4-1 SSC) in a quarterfinal match on Tuesday at 7 p.m. The Tritons registered 10 points, which tied with Tampa in the SSC standings. Eckerd won the tiebreaker by virtue of its 1-0 victory over the Spartans in regular-season action. The winner of the tussle between Rollins and Eckerd will advance to face No. 2 Florida Tech in Friday's semifinals.
Times for each match will be announced as soon as they are finalized.
Quarterfinals - Tuesday, Nov. 1

>General Running>Biting Off More Than I Can Chew?
Allow me to preface this thread with the fact that I hold no "preconceived notions" that I am a fast runner. I know what I am, what I can do...and I am happy with that. What I don't want to do is "hurt" myself...and I have felt pain for weeks on end when I "did it wrong"...which brings me to my question...
I'm registered for the Davis Stampede Half on 2/3. I'll be running on a regular basis up until 3 days prior and then rest until the half. I then have the Oakland Half on 3/24. No worries there either.
What worries me is the Elk Grove "Running of The Elk" half on 4/7...just 2 weeks after Oakland.
I "think" I can do all of them running with no walking, but any suggestions/advice on how I should plan out a regimen would be appreciated since I really am just a guy...who runs. Heh.
A Saucy Wench
without any idea of what kind of running you currently do there is really no way to answer this.
I have become Death, the destroyer of electronic gadgets
"When I got too tired to run anymore I just pretended I wasnt tired and kept running anyway" - dd, age 7
20-30 miles/week mixed between TM and road work. Just finished a 10K yesterday with no prob.
The first two are far enough apart (7 weeks) that recovery should not be an issue and you should
be able to race both if you choose. For the 3rd one I would just take it easy and enjoy the experience.
Summer 2011 at age 49 I did these races (plus others before and after)
August 14 - half marathon (raced it)
August 27th - Sprint du (raced it)
August 28th - half marathon (just for run)
October 2nd - half marathon (to test marathon pacing)
October 16 - full marathon (raced it)
So I guess that was 3 halfs in 7 weeks plus the sprint du, the followed by a full 2 weeks later, with no issues at all
and PR'd on the marathon. Now I have been running 1/2's for 10 years and fulls for 2.5 but I think anyone who
listens to their own body cues, and takes rest/easy days as necessary during that 7 week should be able to pull it off
and have fun.
If you are looking to run your best race I would use the 1st to test pacing, that will give you an idea of
what you can handle, then race the 2nd one, then have fun and celebrate on the 3rd one.
Kewlness....Thank you for the suggestion(s).
Run Like a Mother
I was also going to suggest running the 3rd one for fun and not trying to PR or race it. I don't really have a clue, but I would think you would be okay with the first two as they are further apart. Have fun!
I remember reading something years ago saying that full recovery from a race should take one day for every mile in length the race was. So 2 weeks should be just enough time to recover from racing 13 miles.
In fairness, I've never done it so I can't provide any personal perspective on it.
Just listen to your body. I recently ran 2 full marathons 3 weeks apart, and PRed both. I took a lot of down time in between and wasn't shooting for time in the second race, but I felt awesome that day and pushed my pace, finishing 4 minutes faster in the 2nd race.

Hey Pinegrove, it would be really helpful if you had a public running log. That way you could get much better answers to questions like this.
Done. I thought it was. Sorry 'bout that. Still learning the ropes of the site.
i think you're right to be slightly but not overly concerned about the half 2 weeks after your previous half.
I'm not a long time grizzled vet runner, just an old guy like you who runs, but if i were pressed to put my 2 cents in, i would recommend getting your mileage up to 35 mpw or so with a long run of at least 12 miles.
I found that after running my first (and only) "big" race last october, i went through a 2 week recovery phase followed by a fairly noticeable increase in fitness. This increase allowed me not only to run longer runs but to not need a day off after my long run. I was able to run 12 miles one day and 8 the next, no problem. So if you can get to that point after your feb, 3rd half's recovery phase, you'll be more ready for the very closely spaced halfs you're going to run.
During my recovery phase, i ran every day, for 2-3 miles. I felt it was important to run, and not to just take days off. I have no scientific evidence at all to prove that running those short distances daily was better than taking days off, but i have the belief that it was. After those 2 weeks, like i said, I noticed a marked increase in my running fitness

But I digress. Animated beagle casas aside, you just don't usually see such an approach as Marco's in animal dwelling design. It's well worth it to check out the full line of six abodes AND to pay a visit to his homepage at http://www.marcomorosini.com/home.html to catch a glimpse of the spectrum of products this talented guy has designed.

Butler Point is a privately owned 26 hectare property in the Far North of New Zealand's North Island. Over the last four decades the proprietors of Butler Point, Lindo and Laetitia Ferguson, have developed the property into a macadamia orchard and one of the Far North's most fascinating heritage tourism destinations.
Butler Point is a 40 minute drive from Kerikeri, Bay of Islands, and just 15 minutes from the picturesque township of Mangonui, centre of the Doubtless Bay region. The Point can also be reached by a 150 metre boat trip from Mangonui.
Butler Point is notable for its association with the early history of the Far North. On the property are a Whaling Museum, acknowledged as one of the most comprehensive private museums of its kind in New Zealand; Butler House, the residence of Captain William Butler built in 1847; and Gardens of exotic and native flora, including extensive stands of ancient pohutukawa trees. The Whaling Museum is a member of the Northland Museums Association and Butler House is recognised by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust as a nationally significant heritage building. The gardens have been recognised as a 'Garden of Significance' with the New Zealand Gardens Trust (NZGT).
A pa (hillfort) on the property provides evidence of earlier occupation by Maori. European manufactured items show that early historic contact occurred between Maori and visiting whalers. Other Butler Point attractions include an orchard, expansive grounds, and picnic facilities.
For more on some of Butler Point's attractions click on the following images:
To visit Butler Point take State Highway 10 and continue 40 minutes north of Kerikeri. Six kilometres before Mangonui township turn right down Hihi Road, a sealed road that is suitable for all vehicles. At the end of Hihi Road turn left into Marchant Road. One hundred metres on, at the end of the road, is the Gate to Butler Point. Parking is 2 kilometres beyond the gate. A private jetty and mooring is available for those arriving by boat.
Butler Point is open to the public by appointment only. Please contact us before arranging your visit.

Sign up for our weekly email * Nick NicklebyBBC1 I don't suppose many of you have noticed that a 21st-century update of Dickens, Nick Nickleby, has been running every day on BBC1 this past week; for reasons I can't quite fathom, the series went out at 2.15pm – not exactly peak-time viewing. What was it like? Weird. So hard to know who it was written for. With its broad humour and its pantomime dialogue, it felt like a children's programme at times – or perhaps one for what used to be called teenagers and are now reverently known as "young adults" (yuck). But aren't children and even young adults supposed to be at school at 2.15pm on a weekday? Or at the very least, hanging about in some bus shelter or other? Hmm. Perhaps the Bargain Hunt/Flog It crowd is more easily pleased than I thought. Sadly, what worked for Sherlock Holmes didn't work for Nicholas Nickleby, though I think we can blame this on the series' writer, Joy Wilkinson, rather than on the idea itself. Dickens, it seems to me, has rarely chimed with modern life so harmoniously as now: the wealth and the poverty, the sudden changes in fortune, the vulgar characters and the downtrodden, the taste for transformation. But you have to do a little more than simply transpose him – a writer must still write, even if he has nicked someone else's plot. Wilkinson had her characters saying things like: "Come!" instead of "Come on!", with the result that it all sounded somewhat clunky. Given that clunkiness is the enemy of pathos, this was a problem. For what is Dickens without pathos? In this version of the story, Nick (Andrew Simpson) and his family, having lost their home on the death of the debt-ridden Mr Nickleby, headed for London to seek help from Uncle Ralph (Adrian Dunbar), a man whose vast wealth was built on the back of care homes for the elderly. In the city, the malevolent Ralph was not at first too keen on the idea of supporting his long lost relatives. But, after an oligarch pal took an interest in Nick's little sister, Kat, he suddenly changed his mind. Kat and Mrs Nickleby were duly dispatched to a hotel. Nick, meanwhile, was sent off to Dotheolds Hall, a care home in Yorkshire, where, it was promised, he would learn all about Ralph's business. Dotheolds Hall. Do you see what they did there? And yes, it was horrible, run by a one-eyed villain, Wackford Squeers (Mark McDonnell), whose favourite sport was to tie an old lady called Mrs Smike (Linda Bassett) to a chair. And so it went on. No doubt it's on iPlayer, if you feel inclined. I didn't like it much. On the other hand, I couldn't really hate it, either. Not just now. It seems to me we are amazingly lucky to have a public broadcaster that still feels inclined to try to bring the classics to the masses (I count myself among the masses, before you all write in). On some deep level – this connects, I think, to my grandmother, who left school at 13, was blind, and who loved to listen to Dickens on the radio – the fact that Nick Nickleby exists at all cheers me. Better Nick Nickleby than Homes Under the Hammer. Better Nick Nickleby than, well, Sky 1. You know where this is leading. I've been trying all week to think what to say about the Jimmy Savile affair. But every time I turn my mind to it, I hear the same refrain in my ears: be careful. This is a dangerous time for the BBC and an anxious one for those of us who cherish it. When politicians such as Maria Miller, the Culture Secretary since about five minutes ago, start talking about a loss of trust (how many people, I wonder, has she met who've suffered this sudden crisis of faith?), you know youmust be on your guard. It's utterly baffling the loathing that the Tories have for the BBC. The people who vote for them couldn't live without it; as I've always maintained, the middle classes would riot if Radio 4 went off air. But since they're unable to grasp this basic fact – it's a visceral thing; it lurks deep in the kinks of their colons – we must pay attention. So I'll just say this. Whatever else happens, we can't allow the BBC to be made the scapegoat for the sins of a whole generation. Rachel Cooke trained as a reporter on The Sunday Times. She is now a writer at The Observer.

Although not as lightweight or user-friendly as canister stoves, liquid gas stoves aren't affected by cold temps or high altitudes which makes them invaluable for winter camping and mountaineering.Shop Liquid Fuel Stoves
Canister stoves attach directly to a pressurized fuel canister via a screw-threaded valve. This makes them easy to use and lightweight, which is ideal for backpacking. However, they can be unreliable in cold weather.Shop Canister Fuel Stoves
When you're on the trail for days at a time, every ounce of weight and square inch of space in your pack matters. Backpacking stoves are lightweight, compact stoves that won't take up much space in your bag. Most fall into one of two basic categories: canister stoves and liquid gas stoves.

Dreams Do Come True: I Met Gwen Stefani at Fashion's Night Out and Went to the L.A.M.B. Fashion Show!
Gwen Stefani has been my idol for many years, and during this season's Fashion Week, I finally got the chance to meet her.
-Faye Brennan
I can go on and on and on about how much I admire Gwen Stefani. Usually, it's one of the first things people learn about me because I'm not afraid to admit how big a fan I am of hers. Ever since she released Tragic Kingdom with No Doubt in 1995 (I was 8-years old), Gwen has been a positive role model and someone who's inspired me to reach all of my goals (after all, she is a singer, songwriter, designer of clothes, shoes, bags, accessories, and perfumes, a hot wife, an awesome mom, and she's had an acting gig or two). She's never had a misstep like so many other Hollywood gals, and that only makes me like her more.
I've followed her career passionately, and have invested quite a lot of time and money in attending her concerts and buying anything and everything she's associated with. Not only do I love her music and style, but I also consider these investments to be my way of supporting her. And yes, in some way, they make me feel closer to her.
Even so, it has always been my dream to meet Gwen in person. I met her husband, Gavin Rossdale, a few years back at one of her concerts, and even though that was an "OMG moment" in and of itself, I wouldn't be satisfied until I met his wife as well.
Last Friday, while I was getting ready for Fashion's Night Out, I had a feeling the time had come – I was going to meet Gwen at the Sephora in Soho, where she'd be promoting her new fragrance collection, Wicked Style. I prepared by wearing an outfit Gwen would approve of, and printed out an article I had written about her, thinking maybe, just maybe I could give it to her for her to read.
Sephora, of course, was my first stop of the night. The store was decked out with Harajuku Lovers decorations, but Gwen was nowhere in sight. I picked up a bottle of her new perfume and headed to the registers, where the cashier told me, "You know, if you buy another one of her perfumes, you'll get to do a private meet and greet with Gwen."
It was the fastest $100 I've ever spent.

Where it was once Rafael Nadal, now the talk is of Novak Djokovic chasing down Roger Federer in the all-time grand slam title race.
In the space of two glorious years, Djokovic has transformed himself from a flaky one-slam wonder to the dominant force in tennis and a six-times major champion.
Once mentally suspect and prone to lame mid-match retirements, Djokovic has taken the sport to unseen physical levels to reach seven of the past nine grand slam finals.
Profiting once more from a gluten-free diet and stunning powers of recovery, Djokovic's 6-7 (2-7) 7-6 (7-3) 6-3 6-2 Australian Open final victory over Andy Murray earned the Serb a record-equalling fourth crown at Melbourne Park.
The 25-year-old is eyeing an elusive French Open title to complete a rare grand slam set.
He is on the fast track to tennis greatness.
For all that, history suggests Djokovic will come up short in his pursuit of Federer's 17 grand slam titles.
To put Federer's record haul in perspective, add Nadal's 11 to Djokovic's half dozen and the Swiss's two chief threats, both 25, have won as many majors between them as he has amassed on his own.
In essence, Djokovic must now match Nadal's (or Bjorn Borg's or Rod Laver's 11 career majors) to catch Federer.
Or Nadal, finally set for a comeback after a seven-month injury layoff, would need to replicate Djokovic's six slams to reel in the Swiss master.
Djokovic or Nadal would have to emulate the grand slam stats of two of the most successful players in history to equal Federer's 17 majors.
With doubts about Nadal's ability to even return to his brilliant best, Djokovic may in fact be better placed to make a run at Federer's benchmark number.
Yet Borg, Nadal, Mats Wilander, Peter Sampras, Federer and John McEnroe were all younger than Djokovic when they won their sixth grand slam title.
At just 22 years and one month old, Borg was more than three-and-a-half years younger than Djokovic when he claimed his sixth slam and ended up with "only" 11, though the Swede was finished at just 26.
Wilander added just one more to his tally, Sampras - who was almost two years younger than Djokovic when he collected No.6 - accrued eight more, Federer has amassed another 11 and is still hunting, while McEnroe could only manage one other.
Little wonder Djokovic is preferring to savour his latest triumph rather than make any bold predictions himself.
"I'm just trying to play this game with 100 per cent of devotion, love, passion and fun also," the Serb said.
"(I am) 25 years old and I won six grand slams and have a lot of trophies. It's amazing.
"I'm just trying to embrace this moment and enjoy it as much as I can and see where tomorrow brings me."

DETROIT - Detroit Police Chief Ralph Godbee said he and his officers have launched an all-out search of an area to find a 2-year-old girl last seen in a vehicle that was carjacked in the city Friday morning.
Michigan State Police have also issued an Amber Alert for the girl: Bianca Lily Jones.
In an interview with Local 4, Jones' father, Deondre Lane, said he pulled over near Interstate 75 and East Grand Boulevard after a driver in a red car had shouted to him that something was wrong with his taillights. Lane said a man then pulled a gun on him and took off with his silver Mercury Marquis, which still had his daughter strapped in her car seat. Police recovered the car Lane was driving and were searching for the carjacker based on Lane's description -- View sketch here.
Police questioned Lane but are not commenting on what he told them.
7:30 a.m. Bianca leaves a home on Mitchell Street with her father
9:55: a.m.: Lane reports he was carjacked on Beaubien, between Euclid and Philadelphia
10:15 a.m.: Police find Lane's vehicle just blocks away in an alley off Brush between Philadelphia and Euclid
Jones' mother, Banika Jones, said her daughter had her birthday on Saturday and answers to the nickname "Bacon." She said her daughter was spending the night with her father and was supposed to be returned Friday morning to her home on Custer Street.
"My daughter is wearing a purple coat with gold trim and pink tights. Her hair is braided and she has beads in it. She is very smart," the mother said. "Just bring (Bianca) home. I'm not really worried about you. I don't really care. I just want my baby. I just want my daughter. That's all. Just bring my daughter home to me."
Detroit Police Chief Ralph Godbee said he has officers and K-9s doing grid searches in the area. Officers were combing yards, overturning debris and going in and out of vacant buildings. FBI agents were also involved in the search.
"We're compiling information. We're going to leave no stone unturned," Godbee said. "Time is critical."
Bianca's uncle, Orlando Jones, said he feels helpless.
"What can I do? There's nothing I can do. I hate this feeling because I want to do something. I'm very upset. I've never experienced this before," he said.
Godbee said Bianca's father is being questioned, but would not comment on if he was being considered a person of interest in her disappearance.
"Well, right now Bianca's dad is the link to everything we do. He's the last one that had seen Bianca. So, we really need to go over his story and talk to him, make sure we corroborate information," Godbee said.
Godbee asked anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at 800-SPEAKUP.
An anonymous benefactor has donated $15,000 toward a reward to find Bianca. Crime Stoppers is also offering $2,500, bringing the total reward to $17,500.

By clicking Submit, you accept the Adobe Terms of Use.
This article assumes a basic familiarity with Flex.
Note: Flash Builder 4.5 provides support for building Flex and ActionScript applications for Google Android, as well as support for building ActionScript applications for BlackBerry Tablet OS and Apple iOS. An update to Flash Builder 4.5 and Flex 4.5 adds support for building Flex applications for BlackBerry Tablet OS and Apple iOS.
Flex is ready to take a big leap forward with its next release, Flex 4.5 SDK. Flex 4.5 SDK delivers many exciting new components and capabilities, along with integrated support in Flash Builder 4.5 and Flash Catalyst CS 5.5. With the Adobe Flex 4.5 SDK release, we are introducing three major initiatives:
This article aims to introduce you to the variety of new features available in the Flex 4.5 SDK release and provide you with additional resources and documentation such that you can start building applications leveraging the Flex 4.5 framework.
Flex development takes a big leap forward as Flex 4.5 release introduces multiscreen application development directly within the core Flex framework. Using Adobe Flex 4.5 SDK, you can leverage your existing Flex knowledge and skills to develop mobile applications by utilizing mobile optimized components (which are based on Spark) and application-level mobile constructs which encapsulate common mobile design patterns. To learn more about the new mobile capabilities added to the Flex framework as well as new mobile workflows added to Flash Builder, please read NJ's article Mobile development using Flex 4.5 SDK and Flash Builder 4.5.
The Flex 4.5 release adds popular Spark components that did not make it into the Flex 4 release. The new Spark components added in Flex 4.5 aims to alleviate the most common scenarios which caused mixing of MX and Spark components. The list of new Spark components includes: Spark DataGrid, Form, Image, Module, Busy Indicator, SkinnablePopUpContainer, Date/Time, Number and Currency Formatters as well as Number and Currency Validators. Below we discuss these new components and their capabilities in more detail.
One of the most exciting new Spark component is the Spark DataGrid (see Figure 1). The Spark DataGrid has two main goals:
The salient features of the Spark DataGrid include: a new skinning contract which allows the DataGrid's subparts to be customized declaratively via the DataGrid skin file including cells and column headers, full support for a dynamically changing data provider along with fixed and variable row sizes, advanced communication between the DataGrid column headers and table area including column sorting, formatting of data values and column resizing as well as full selection support. Like the MX DataGrid, single and multiple row selection is enabled (both contiguously and non-contiguously). Additionally, the Spark DataGrid allows users to select individual cells or multiple cells as part of the default selection behavior. The Spark DataGrid also allows for basic user navigation through the keyboard or mouse and is fully accessible. Some of the advanced features of the Spark DataGrid include full support for cell editing as well as performance optimizations such that the Spark DataGrid exceeds the MX DataGrid with respect to startup time, horizontal scrolling and vertical scrolling.
To learn more details about the new DataGrid and all its facilities, please refer to the Spark DataGrid >specification. The accessible nature of the Spark DataGrid is covered in a separate specification.
The Spark Form container provides much of the same functionality as the MX Form while also adding several improvements that cater to more modern form designs. The biggest improvement to Spark Form over the MX Form is the maturity of its layout. Spark Form uses a grid-based constraint layout for positioning each FormItem element. Additionally, the layout allows for the form columns and rows to be very dynamic. Form columns and rows can grow and shrink at runtime to support modern form designs where information, like help text or validation errors, can be shown on-demand. Spark Form ships two layouts, the default layout being a horizontal laying out of form items (see Figure 2) and the second layout being a stacked layout where form items are arranged vertically (see Figure 3). Both layouts support form columns being defined with pixel sizes as well as percentage sizes.
Spark Forms provide configuration options which can be used to align form item content along a common baseline, to mark form items as required and to list form items sequentially. All of these configurations are customizable via the Form's skinning contract. Thus the state of the Form when a required form item has been omitted or when a form item is in an invalid state can be customized declaratively by modifying the Form or FormItem's skin. You can read about the new Spark Form container in more detail by reading the feature specification on the Flex open source site.
To learn more about the Form container and its API's, please refer to the Spark Form specification here.
Flex 4 introduced the BitmapImage graphic element. This is a lightweight, non-skinnable UI element that can be used to display image content. In Flex 4.5 we improved the BitmapImage graphic element and added a new Spark Image component.
BitmapImage has been improved to allow for the loading and presenting of remote images that are both untrusted and trusted (the normal Flash Player security restrictions apply when loading untrusted asset). Addtionally, BitmapImage introduces new scaling support. The newly introduced 'scaleMode' property can be configured to stretch the image and fill the content area or display as if in letterbox mode. Letterbox mode allows the image content to be displayed with the same aspect ratio as the original, unscaled image. BitmapImage also adds a new 'smoothingQuality' property which can be used to configure the image smoothing algorithm used when the 'smooth' property is enabled. By default, the image is scaled at the quality of the stage. When 'smoothingQuality' is set to high, a multi-step scale algorithm is used resulting in a much higher quality display than what one would obtain with the default stage quality. This 'smoothingQuality' option is useful for high quality thumbnail presentation. And finally, BitmapImage in Flex 4.5 introduces a content cache which can be configured to support the caching and queuing of remote image assets. This type of cache is convenient to present the image without flickering in scenarios where images are quickly being shown and hidden, like when image thumbnails are being scrolled in a List component. A content cache can be associated with a BitmapImage instance and configured to manage the cache size and to control the invalidation and storage behavior of the cache. The configuration option can also be modified to queue the loading of images in prioritized order. The addition of the content cache and queuing mechanism allows for much better perceived performance of image assets in applications built with Flex 4.5.
The new Spark Image skinnable component is built atop the improved BitmapImage element. As such, all the improvements of the BitmapImage element like the scaling, smoothing, caching, and queuing mechanisms are available on the Image component as well. The Spark Image's skinning contract allows for customisaton of the presentation of the image asset as it is being loaded, when its finished loading, when its invalid or when the asset is not found and the image is in a broken state (see Figure 4). You can read more about the BitmapImage enhancements and the new Spark Image skinnable component by reading the feature specification here.
Flash Player 10.1 introduced a set of new globalization APIs that provide locale-specific formatting of dates, times, numbers, and currencies. Building on these APIs, the Flex 4.5 release adds a set of new formatters to the Spark namespace. These formatters will format data based on the locale defined by the operating system, thus natively providing locale-specific behavior to application content.
The functionality provided by the Flash Player 10.1 APIs is driven by the specification of a locale as defined by the operating system. The Flex 4.5 release provides 3 formatters that leverage the locale information to format correctly. This includes a CurrencyFormatter, NumberFormatter and DateTimeFormatter (see Figure 5). You can read the Spark Formatters specification on the Flex 4.5 open source site to learn more about the properties, methods and events used by the newly introduced formatters.
Additionally, new Sort and SortField classes have been added which add locale-specific sorting behavior. Under the hood, the new Sort classes take advantage of Flash Player 10.1's locale-specific string comparison, number and currency parsing and uppercase and lowercase string conversion to handle character and number sorting according to language rules as defined by the locale. To learn more about the sorting and collation capabilities newly introduced in Flex 4.5, refer to this specification.
In addition to the new Spark formatters, Number and Currency validators have been added which utilize the Flash Player 10.1 globalization APIs. The new NumberValidator and CurrencyValidator classes now validate according to the locale defined by the operating system. This added behavior is beneficial for multiple reasons including the inclusion of validation of negative and positive number formats, acceptance of non-European digits and operating system updates for new locales or changes to locales gets automatically integrated into the application. For more information on the new Spark validators, reference this specification.
Apart from the Spark components listed above, additional new components and capabilities were added in Flex 4.5. This includes the ability to specify textual prompts in Spark TextInput, TextArea and ComboBox controls for use in both mobile and desktop applications. This mini-specification covers all the details around text prompts in Spark. Additionally, a new Busy Indicator component was added for use in mobile applications where the component can be used to give a visual indication that an application is in the middle of an operation like a network call or long-running calculation. To read more about the Busy Indicator, reference this specification.
Two new skinnable components worth mentioning are the Spark Module and Spark SkinnablePopUpContainer controls. The Spark Module, often used with the new Spark ModuleLoader control, is a skinnable container for creating a module. Modules are often used when creating navigator views or for bringing in separate UI modules within a single application. To learn more about the Spark Module and ModuleLoader components read the specification here. The Spark SkinnablePopUpContainer is a new skinnable control which can be used to customize the animation pop-up, tear-down and data presentation of a pop-up window like an alert or dialog control for use in mobile and non-mobile applications. States are used to govern when the pop-up has been opened or closed and the skin can visually update based on the state change. For information on how to declare and skin a SkinnablePopUpContainer, check out the reference specification.
The Flex 4 framework integrated the Open Source Media Framework (OSMF) as the base component for the Spark VideoPlayer component. Additionally, Flex 4 integrated the Text Layout Framework (TLF) as the base text library utilized in all of the Spark text components.
OSMF and Flex 4.5 SDK
The OSMF library in Flex 4.5 has been upgraded to support OSMF 1.0. The OSMF 1.0 media player is in use in the Flex 4.5 Spark VideoPlayer component. The integration of OSMF 1.0 provides some critical bugfixes as well as adds support for HTTP streaming. This means that when developers and designers create video assets that support HTTP streaming, the Spark VideoPlayer component will be able to render those types of streams. Taking advantage of this is as simple as setting the VideoPlayer's 'source' property to an URL that supports HTTP streaming. You can learn more about OSMF 1.0's inclusion in Flex 4.5 by reading this specification.
TLF and Flex 4.5 SDK
The Flex 4.5 release includes support for the next version of the TLF library, TLF 2.0. TLF is the base text engine used by all Spark text components, including TextInput, TextArea, RichText, and RichEditableText. The next release of TLF focuses on improving performance of text in Flex applications as well as adding some new features like floats and bulleted and numbered lists. It's important to note that TLF 2.0 incorporates key performance fixes such as Spark text controls displaying, scrolling and interacting with large amounts of text. Some performance issues which have already been addressed center around Spark text controls displaying, scrolling, and interacting with large amounts of text. For more information about TLF 2.0 integration into Flex 4.5, please refer to this specification.
Continuing to improve the Flex compiler is a big part of every release. In the Flex 4.5 timeframe, we focused on three major improvements:
The Flex 4.5 release shows improvements in all three areas. With recent optimizations, midsize and large projects will see up to a 20% reduction in overall memory consumption during a full compilation and up to a 20% reduction with full and incremental compilation builds.
RSL Improvements
RSLs (runtime shared libraries) package the Flex framework into libraries that are linked and loaded during application startup. Flex 4 turned Flex framework RSLs on by default, meaning that the Flex compiler linked framework RSLs for use by Flex applications.
The Flex 4.5 release adds some very exciting improvements to the RSL infrastructure in Flex. With the Flex 4.5 compiler, only RSLs that have true dependencies on the application code will be linked into your application. For example, this means that applications not using OSMF will not incur the cost of linking and loading the OSMF RSL. Additionally, pure-Spark or pure-MX projects are ensured to only link in the components and architectural pieces needed for that particular type of project. The enhancements to the Flex compiler and its linkage of RSLs is captured in this specification.
Additionally, in Flex 4.5, modules and their RSL linkage logic has been improved. Now, modules will understand when their parent application or a sibling module has already loaded in RSLs that it depends on. In situations like this, the module will avoid re-linking and loading in the required RSL. There are compiler configuration options which the developer can use to force link in certain modules if they do not want the compiler to introspect and figure out the dependencies itself. As such, Flex 4.5 introduces the ability for an application, with the help of its sub-applications and modules, to load a set of RSLs that are needed instead of the main application preloading them all. To learn more about this feature, check out this specification.
With the addition of new mobile framework functionality as well as enhancements to the core framework, Flex has matured to include all of the pieces necessary to develop expressive applications for the web, desktop or mobile devices. We are excited for customers, both new and existing, to try Flex 4.5 and give the new features a whirl!

Locked Up LootMystery teasers are little stories where you need to figure out what happened based on the given clues.
"Now, I know everybody in this little old town, and I had never seen him before in my life!" Hilda Fiddlebottom, the town's biggest busybody, told Chief Graham over the phone. "Plus he looked all suspicious like. So naturally I made sure to listen in to everything he was saying on his fancy cell phone."
"Naturally," replied Chief Graham.
"Well you are not going to believe this! Apparently he robbed a bank a few years back, and he hid the loot right here in our town! He said it was going to be tough, but he just had to retrieve it by midnight tonight! I didn't catch why. But he said he was heading back to the motel to gather up his supplies and go get his loot! There are only a few hours left before his midnight deadline! GO GET HIM CHIEF!!"
Chief Graham and Detective Jefferson sped over to the town's only motel, only to discover that it looked empty. But there were tire marks in the parking space in front of one of the rooms, as if someone had spun their tires taking off in a hurry.
"I bet that's his room. He must have heard us coming and fled. You probably shouldn't have blared your siren the whole way over here, Jefferson."
"Sorry Chief. I've just always wanted to use my siren! We don't get to see much action around here, you know?"
When they inspected his motel room, they discovered a curious array of equipment, half of which was packed into a very large, black duffel bag.
Jefferson looked at the chief and said "It looks like he was in the middle of packing up his supplies when he heard us and took off. We've got to find him! Maybe if we really analyze this equipment, we can figure out where he hid his loot. It looks pretty complicated. What do you think, Chief?"
"Well, this is the only evidence we have. Let's see if we can deduce where he's headed!"
Here were the supplies they found in and around the duffel bag:
A small folding step ladder; a can of WD-40; a roll of duct tape; two small tires, probably for a small lawn mower; a coil of thick, black nylon rope; some kind of gardening tool with a short, flat blade; a small blow torch; two empty Ziploc bags; a small air filter, possibly out of a vacuum cleaner; and a power drill.
After contemplating the items for a moment, Chief Graham laughed and said "I know exactly where's he's headed! If we hurry, we can catch him!
HintYou are going to be SO mad about all the time you wasted analyzing each item that the bank robber was packing!
Answer"If he needs this elaborate array of equipment to get to his hidden stash, it must be pretty difficult, huh Jefferson?"
"I guess so, Chief." Jefferson replied.
"So we're trying to figure out where he's headed right now, using the knowledge that when he gets there, he will need to use all of this equipment to get to his loot, right?"
"You got it!"
"This equipment sitting right in front of us in his motel room."
"Right Chief."
"He's going to the hardware store, you idiot!" the Chief exclaimed. "He needs all this equipment to get to his loot, but he left it all in the motel room!"

Hey there, time traveller!

The Burn Palace
By Stephen Dobyns
Blue Rider Press, 464 pages, $28.50
CREEPY New England small town, check. Uncomfortably revealing descriptions of every character no matter how minor, check. A boy with special talents and a brilliant imagination, check. An angst-ridden and unshaven middle-aged hero, check.
By outward appearances this could be a Stephen King novel. But New England novelist and poet Stephen Dobyns' The Burn Palace is not horror; it is a hard-hitting literary mystery-thriller.
Unsettling from the start, Dobyns' first novel in 13 years follows what seems to be an East Coast American literary tradition: an idyllic community is torn apart by mysterious occurrences and paranoia. Tiny, historic Brewster, R.I. (located conveniently on the edge of a swamp and a coyote-filled forest), explodes with terror when the newborn baby of a teenage mother disappears from the local hospital's maternity ward under the nose of a nurse who was off dallying with a doctor.
A pet corn snake stolen from a local boy is found in the crib, triggering a police investigation and a wildfire spread of gossip throughout the community. The boy, Hercel McGarty, is a self-assured 10-year-old with special gifts and an imagination who must square off against his abusive stepfather to survive.
Meanwhile, the grizzled detective uncovers the town's darkest secrets during his investigation that leads him constantly back towards the town crematorium, known irreverently as "the burn palace."
A prolific and award-winning author and former creative writing professor with 16 poetry collections, 12 novels and a 10-volume mystery series to his name, Dobyns has a distinctive style.
Sardonic tone
Despite tempting initial comparisons to King and the late legendary American writer John Updike, Dobyns' gritty, detail-filled narrative moves at a different pace from King's smooth-flowing storytelling.
The Burn Palace eschews the poetic nuance and wit of Updike's The Witches of Eastwick. Dobyns sets a darker, harshly sardonic tone, moving his characters through the story like a master chess player. His pawns break into cold sweats as coyotes emerge from Wiccan-filled woods to terrorize them, or as vigilante citizens attack suspected neighbours.
Fear drives this novel, but cleverly placed red herrings keep readers guessing as to the mystery's outcome.
Dobyns puts much care in describing each character -- and there are many. On one hand, the revelation of everyone's dirty little secrets makes the community come alive with all its activity. Knowing details about each person clouds the reader-detective's mind to distract from who might be the real culprits.
The fallout effect of this attentive character portraiture is that the action slows down, giving the novel a sprawling, indulgent feel. Few of the characters are genuinely likable, although some are diamonds in the rough.
State police detective Woody Potter is the exhausted, too-experienced hero who cares too much, works too hard and saves the day. Bobby Anderson is his best friend and stereotypical cool black cop who drives a fancy sports car but goes home to a stable family of a wife and two kids.
Jill Franklin is the attractive single mother and journalist digging up dirt for the local newspaper. She provides an obligatory love interest for lonely Woody, who is so married to his work that his ex-fiancée left him emotionally destitute. Irritatingly, the one sex scene squeezed into this gruesome murder-riddled thriller is a graceless and perfunctory male fantasy.
Despite his grim portrayals of humanity (though understandably happy people would be out of place in a crime novel), Dobyns delivers an engrossing story with a satisfying spine-chilling mystery.
Christine Mazur is a Winnipeg writer with a master of arts degree in English literature focusing on Stephen King's small-town-in-turmoil novel, Salem's Lot.

Kim Kardashian's Crazy Wedding Gift Wish List
Kim Kardashian's wedding registry may sound like a wish list to most of us, but to Kim it's just another shopping trip.
-Evette Brown
We all know by now that Kim Kardashian's wedding is on. Sis Khloe claims it's the "second royal wedding." If that didn't make you roll your eyes, check out Kim's wedding registry…
The happy couple has registered at Gearys, high end houseware and jewelry shop in Beverly Hills. Wedding guests are now eyeballing the uber long list. The wedding is set for Halloween, a scant few months away, so Gearys' cash registers might be working overtime now.
What does a woman with a $2 million dollar engagement ring want for her new life? What do Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries need to feather their nest? On the list right now are just the basics … like a Baccarat vase for$7,850. If you're on a budget, you can pick up one napkin for only $12.50! Feeling a bit more generous, give Kim and Kris an Orris butter spreader for $43, because we know a regular knife just doesn't do the job.
Read Pick Kim Kardashian's Wedding Gown
If the couple's thirsty, spring for one Baccarat Vega Clear Flutissimo champagne flute, only $130. Did you want those poor kids to be thirsty?
The bridal registry goes on and on. There's stuff from Christofle, Hermes, Saint James Silver, besides the Baccarat and Lalique that Kris Jenner loves so much. Is it necessary to start off wedded life with a Buccellati salad fork and spoon that cost $880 each? Is a Lalique Soudan ashtray ($725) important to have if the couple doesn't smoke? Details, details…
Each and every item can boggle the mind. It's also an interesting way to get into Kim's mindset and her view of the universe. Should we say her universe? Are the items listed in her wedding gift "want it now list" an indication of what a typical Hollywood heiress expects from her guests, or is this Kim being a bridezilla? Or… does Kim really live like this?
Only time and another Kardashian reality TV show spinoff will tell.

Consumer Reports: Small Turbo Engines Don't Meet Efficiency Claims
Shane McGlaun
February 5, 2013 9:29 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Not all small turbo engines are more fuel-efficient says Consumer Reports
Consumer Reports
isn't letting up on its testing of fuel efficiency claims for various vehicles. According to the publication, small turbocharged engines aren't delivering on the fuel efficiency claims by the manufacturers.
Small displacement turbocharged engines have become common in a variety of vehicles in place of larger displacement, naturally aspirated engines. The claim by the automotive manufacturers is that the small displacement turbocharged engines offer the same power as larger displacement engines and improved fuel efficiency.
Consumer Reports,
however, states that in its real world testing many vehicles with turbocharged engines aren't as efficient as the manufacturers claim. The publication recently tested the
1.6-liter EcoBoost in a Ford Fusion
and found that the turbocharged version has a slower 0-to-60 mph time than its competitors and achieved only 25 mpg in testing, making it among the worst for fuel efficiency in the recent crop of family sedans.
The publication also claims that the larger 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, which promises the power of the V-6 with the fuel economy of four-cylinder engine, fails to deliver on either front.
2013 Ford Fusion
Chevrolet is also under fire for the 1.4-liter turbo four-cylinder in the Cruze.
Consumer Reports
claims that real world performance wasn't much better than the standard, naturally aspirated 1.8-liter engine and overall fuel economy was similar as well.
Ford and General Motors representatives offered similar statements explaining the discrepancy. "When you have an EcoBoost engine, you have the opportunity to have performance and fuel economy, but not at the same time," said Ford Powertrain Communications Manager Richard Truett. "EcoBoost adds a dimension that you won't get by just making the engine smaller. We're telling the driver, it's up to you on how you want to drive."
"The Cruze turbocharged engine provides a much broader torque curve than a non-turbocharged engine, and that means better acceleration across the rpm range, making for a more fun-to-drive car," said GM spokesman Tom Read. "However, if you have a heavy foot on a turbocharged engine, you're not necessarily going to see a lot of fuel economy benefits."
The EPA is going to
investigate Ford
Consumer Reports
and other owners have complained that fuel efficiency doesn't meet the automakers claims in the Fusion Hybrid and C-MAX.

"So, I think the same thing of the music industry. They can't say that they're losing money, you know what I'm saying. They just probably don't have the same surplus that they had." -- Wu-Tang Clan founder RZA

Bridge construction underway at Eel River Holmes-Larabee crossing
HOLMES-FLAT: Crews were out in Holmes Flat Tuesday installing a Bailey bridge at the Eel River Holmes-Larabee crossing. Humboldt County Department of Public Works officials say the bridge will be completed and opened to the public on Sunday, June 15.
The permanent low-water bridge used in past years to connect Larabee Valley and Holmes is currently out of service because of its poor structural condition. The road Larabee residents have been using in the meantime will soon be closed for summer logging activities.
The temporary bridge will allow Larabee Valley residents to access Holmes, as well as Highway 101.
The Bailey bridge is a loan from Mendocino County and is able to be easily dismantled, moved and reassembled in various locations.
Public Works officials plan to continue loaning the bridge from Mendocino County for two years, or until the repairs are completed on the permanent low-water bridge.

I was reading the article on ANBU, and it said that they always have the tattoos to signify that they are ANBU. But looking at Zabuza, I noticed that he doesn't have the tattoo on his left shoulder that it says ANBU have. Is it possible that the tattoo is just for Konoha ninja, or was it confirmed by a databook that all ANBU have it?--Darth Nex (talk) 10:55, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
- I only recall Konoha ANBU having a tatoo, so it might be something just Konoha have. Jacce | Talk 13:28, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
The Anbu of the Village Hidden in the Mist probably dont have a tattoo probably because maybe only Konoha Anbu have it.
Assuming that ninjas from other villages have them, he could've gotten it removed when he went missing-nin. It's a pretty obvious identifier. --Nordfjord (talk) 07:58, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Have put together photos by using table, and wondered how do I keep the margins the same on both left and right. They appear equal on my 22 inch screen, but on smaller 17 the right margin is much smaller.

l to r: Phils Uncle, Phil Caldwell, PaulTainter, Abe Lincoln and Glenn Carson
Dick Stout and Bob PodraskyGarrett Electronics
Michael Paul Hensonchecking out bourse
Try this:

Thanks but that didn't seem to do anything....?
You'll need to also give it a width
Also you might want to reconsider using a table (it's not tabular data so isn't the appropriate tag), and the center and b tags which are now either depreciated or inappropriate in this case
I am at a loss...any other suggestions?
actually what John_Betong suggested should work. I would only suggest to to declare an id or class (CSS) and apply the id/class to the table:
#main {
width: 800px;
margin: 0 auto;

if you use more than one table on the same page use a class instead
.main {
width: 800px;
margin: 0 auto;

The border element can be removed after final adjustments are made,
If that does not work then please supply a link.
As mentioned by donboe it is better to use a CLASS and/or ID stored in a separate CSS file.The CSS file is cached and subsequent pages load quicker.
The page I am referring to....
There are errors in your CSS style which over-ride the CSS script used to center the table. Please use the following code to replace everything up to and including the new  statement
