Everything is in very good order, with the exception of 3 of the little green "tents" that separate the spoons in the box. They have come loose over the years--please see photo.

Day 1: July 3, 1863
Dear Diary, Today seemed to be a decent day. This morning I went to feed the chickens and oxen. In the afternoon, I went to collect eggs and then, I went around town to try to get anything I could to send to our soldiers. I was able to collect many socks and miscellaneous items. After I made it through most of the part of town, I went home and put a few things in a blanket I had just finished. I tied it together then took the carriage to the post office. There is a small chance that it will make it to any of our soldiers, but I must try.

David Mitchell is an eloquent conjurer of interconnected tales, a genre-bending daredevil, and a master prose stylist. His hypnotic new novel, The Bone Clocks, crackles with invention and wit - it is fiction at its most spellbinding and memorable.
Following a scalding row with her mother, 15-year-old Holly Sykes slams the door on her old life. But Holly is no typical teenage runaway: A sensitive child once contacted by voices she knew only as "the radio people", Holly is a lightning rod for psychic phenomena. Now, as she wanders deeper into the English countryside, visions and coincidences reorder her reality until they assume the aura of a nightmare brought to life. For Holly has caught the attention of a cabal of dangerous mystics - and their enemies. But her lost weekend is merely the prelude to a shocking disappearance that leaves her family irrevocably scarred. This unsolved mystery will echo through every decade of Holly's life, affecting all the people Holly loves - even the ones who are not yet born. A Cambridge scholarship boy grooming himself for wealth and influence, a conflicted father who feels alive only while reporting from occupied Iraq, a middle-aged writer mourning his exile from the bestseller list - all have a part to play in this surreal, invisible war on the margins of our world.
From the medieval Swiss Alps to the 19th-century Australian bush, from a hotel in Shanghai to a Manhattan townhouse in the near future, their stories come together in moments of everyday grace and extraordinary wonder. Rich with character and realms of possibility, The Bone Clocks is a kaleidoscopic novel that begs to be taken apart and put back together.

Top Reasons You Should Be Reading Detective Comics
The Detective Comics of DC's Rebirth era is a much different beast than it's predecessors. It's a book about family, about relationships, and about how people perceive the ideal of heroism.
It's not just about good vs. evil -- and though Batman's world has always contained its share of gray -- Detective Comics lives in a city of it, and it's made for one of the most compelling runs on the book in recent memory. Not only that but the book has been seamlessly intertwined with the bigger plot of this reenvisioned DC Universe, all done without making it feel like a tie-in or unfulfilling on its own.
In short, it's been one of the biggest pleasant surprises of DC's recent output, and if you're a fan of the Dark Knight you owe it to yourself to be reading. Now it's time to explain why.
Hit the next slide for more reasons you should be reading Detective Comics.

When I was typing a post, this overlay popped up when it tried to save the draft:
Then all my CSS went weird, as if it became stripped. The colours all turned white and background turned teal.
I refreshed the page and retyped my post and all seemed well.
But then when I was creating some new link forums in the Admin CP, the moment I clicked out of the Link URL field after entering the URL I wanted to redirect to, a similar pop-up appeared:
Again the CSS went weird again, half the text turned white. Ignoring it and clicking "Save Link Forum" worked fine. But it seems each time I click outside that site URL the same pop-up appears.
Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this?

The Superyacht Cup Expands into Asia
by Superyacht Cup media on 21 Dec 2007
The Superyacht Cup has announced a new joint-venture with The Phuket Invitational Superyacht Rendezvous, Thailand.
The Superyacht Cup has been organizing Superyacht sailing regattas for 12 years, with the recent event in Palma in June 2007 breaking all records by attracting 52 of the world's biggest sailing yachts.
'We are excited at the opportunity of joining forces with Asia's Phuket Invitational, pooling our knowledge and expertise to present a very appealing addition to our event calendar' said Spike Thompson, co-founder of The Superyacht Cup. 'We are continually being asked to consider ways of including events for motor yachts, and the experience of the team in Phuket in this regard will be invaluable.'
Both sailing and motor yachts take part in daily sailing rallies at the Phuket event, and then participants and their guests enjoy glamorous evening social functions in the prestigious and world-famous Amanpuri Resort. With continued sponsorship support from Feadship, the event has been growing steadily in popularity over the last few years.
The new partnership with the Phuket Invitational Rendezvous will introduce some spectacular new cruising grounds to the Superyacht Cup circuit. 'Asia's servicing infrastructure and facilities have expanded considerably over the last 5 years,' said Adam Frost, Director of the Phuket Invitational Rendezvous, 'and now offers the high level of service and provisioning that some of the world's most elite clientele have come to expect, as well as an exciting array of new destinations to discover'.
2007 will be the 7th edition of the Phuket Invitational Superyacht Rendezvous, held in mid December each year. The 2008 event will see the start of the joint venture between the two organizations. Adam Frost welcomes the input that The Superyacht Cup will bring, and both parties agree that in the ever-expanding market, and with the bigger international team to organize the events, 'we should quickly achieve our aim of developing The Superyacht Cup Phuket into the leading Superyacht event in Asia.'
This new joint venture event will comprise a 3-day regatta sailing around some of the region's most beautiful Islands and Resorts, and will also incorporate a new Asia Charter Show and Destination Asia Cruising Forum.
Forthcoming Superyacht Cup events now include:
The Superyacht Cup Transatlantic Challenge starting in Antigua in April 2008
The Superyacht Cup, Palma, June 11th - 14th 2008
The Superyacht Cup, Antigua, December 2008
The Superyacht Cup Phuket Invitational, December 2008
The Superyacht Cup is part of Informa plc, owner of the Monaco Yacht Show, and two newly-launched events: the World Yacht Racing Forum, Monaco (December 2008), and the Abu Dhabi Yacht Show (March 2009).

Need help... NOW
By: Avish Chrianth
It is 1500, I, Juan DaCova, who hails from Netherlands, ask you for a lot of money to fund my exploration to the New World, O great king of Spain, Charles I, the Emperor. If I am able to go to the New world, I will bring you many raw materials and more slaves as war allies. The reason I am gonin' is to bring many minerals like salt, gold, and silver (etc.) I need these resources because we need money and minerals for my jewelry business. I will go the west part of the New world because they may mountains will provide many mines. The minerals such as ore can be found near the top. In other regions, you will. They only other person to touch land was C. Columbus who was currently exploring a small island. So there should be no issues. Most explores are in search of preservers such as salt. Others want gold for trade or keeps. They all want more territory to expand religion for their king. If I met any other explorers or Natives, first I will try and cooperate. If not, I will most likely stay there and ignore them. If it gets really out of hand, I will call in military units to annihilate them. Some obstacles are disease, storms, monsters, crude navigation, and pirates. To prevent disease, I will take lots of field medics and doctors. We will carry guns and cannons to fend of pirates and other gangs. We will bring many other materials like leather to sew sheets to protect from rain and coldness

February has been a really busy and fun month! We started a new family hobby, took several day trips, had a lot of fun in school, and did a lot of reading. 🙂
At the beginning of the month, we tried geocaching for the first time and all of us (especially Matt!) are hooked! It's such a fun, inexpensive, and active way to spend an afternoon outside. It's also fun to find out just how popular it is around here. When we ran a search we found that there were 126 caches hidden within 5 miles of our house!
We took field trips to Dauset Trails nature center to see the owls (for our current homeschool unit) as well as to the Atlanta Zoo. Dauset Trails is one of our favorite places to visit on a day trip. It is a privately-owned nature center that houses many wild animals that have been injured or cannot be released into the wild. Lots of birds, local wildlife, even a cougar and black bear. There are also beautiful gardens and trails, a reptile/amphibian center, a farm, and duck and fish ponds. And it's all free!
Our trip to the Zoo also turned out to be free, thanks to the pass program at our local library. I've been checking for about a year, but the pass is always unavailable. Finally, they had it in, so we had a somewhat spontaneous trip to plan. The Atlanta Zoo was a lot smaller than the ones I visited growing up, but we still had a great time. And the smaller scale meant we got to do a little geocaching in historic Grant Park, too.
Autumn and I took this last week off of school and I really enjoyed the little break, though I think Autumn will be happy to get back to routine tomorrow. She's getting started in her second grade math book and we're enjoying a unit study based off of Owl Moon right now. We've been busy with homeschool co-op as well; learning about lots of artists in the class I'm teaching and making lots of messes with paint, pastels, and crayons. Autumn is also really enjoying P.E. and the science class she is taking.
We're wrapping up the end of the month by getting started with soccer again. Autumn just had her first practice with the local soccer association (first time we have done anything other than Upward) and she loved it. First game is Saturday!

Afghans Must Pass Anti-Money Laundering Law Or Face Blacklist
The international community has told Afghans to fix their banks and pass anti-money laundering legislation by June 22. If officials fail to do so, the country will be blacklisted for five years.
OK, several important dates to follow in Afghanistan this month. On June 14, Afghans will vote in a runoff election to choose their next president. And about a week later is a deadline for Afghanistan to enact new laws against money laundering and terrorism financing. If the government misses the deadline, Afghanistan will be placed on a blacklist by the Financial Action Task Force, an international agency made up of the world's strongest economies. That could have devastating consequences for a fragile economy. Here's NPR's Sean Carberry.
SEAN CARBERRY, BYLINE: I'm at one of a handful of Western-style supermarkets in Kabul. And almost everything I can see here, from vegetables, to ramen noodles, to energy drinks, is imported. That means the supermarket has to send money to countries like China to pay for all the imported goods. If Afghanistan is blacklisted, foreign banks will likely sever their ties with Afghan banks. That could mean these shelves here could soon be empty.
KAHLIL SEDIQ: Afghanistan is a country which we are importing everything - everything.
CARBERRY: Khalil Sediq is head of Afghanistan's banking association. He says, the blacklisting would not only starve the people of food, fuel and medicine; it would starve the government of a vitally needed source of revenue.
SEDIQ: When these imports drops, it means their income from custom also drops.
CARBERRY: Blacklisting would also mean aid organizations and foreign companies will face difficulties transferring money into Afghanistan.
SEDIQ: This will be a disaster for this country.
CARBERRY: This potential financial crisis isn't coming out of nowhere. Afghanistan has had more than two years notice that it needs to bring its financial laws into conformity with international standards.
SEDIQ: Money laundering and financing terrorism should be considered as a crime. And the law should determine what's the punishment for that.
CARBERRY: Sediq says that's not the case under current law in a country with a rampant drug trade and that's seen a major banking scandal in recent years. The country's financial laws currently lack a number of critical oversight and enforcement mechanisms. Sediq says a ministerial committee started working on revised laws a year and a half ago.
SEDIQ: Because of many reasons - unexplained reasons - it has been two, three times rejected.
CARBERRY: After what's been described as a nontransparent process, draft legislation recently made it to parliament. The counter terrorism financing law has been passed. But the anti-money laundering legislation is missing a number of provisions required by the task force. Sayed Ikram is the first secretary of the lower house of parliament.
SAYED IKRAM: It's difficult, in to two week or three weeks, to decide about and to bring changes.
CARBERRY: He says there simply isn't enough time to amend and pass the law. So he says they'll do what they can and hope for leniency from the task force come June 22. But even that assumes both houses of parliament will pass the law, and outgoing president, Hamid Karzai, will sign it in time. The effects are already being felt. European, Turkish and Chinese banks have halted transactions with some banks here. That's forcing many people to turn to informal systems like the Shahzada money exchange market in Kabul.
HAJI HUMAYON: (Speaking foreign language).
CARBERRY: Haji Humayon is spokesman for the market. He says the cost of money transfers has gone up 80 percent, in part because of the shortage of dollars coming in from foreign banks.
AHMAD FUAD: (Through translator) It's good for our business, but harmful for the economy.
CARBERRY: Ahmad Fuad runs a business in western Afghanistan importing electronics from China.
FUAD: (Through translator) For the last week, we've had difficulty transferring money overseas. We can't deliver our cash on time to foreign suppliers, so there's a delay in importing goods.
CARBERRY: Fuad is in Kabul looking for alternatives. And if Afghanistan fails to pass the anti-money laundering law, or one without enough teeth, this is just the beginning of what could be a five-year plague on Afghanistan's banks and economy. Sean Carberry, NPR News, Kabul.

Delicious Killer Cocoa Rum BrowniesI remember the day that I found out that there were no carbs in Rum.
I'm not a big rum drinker but, I do like to make an occasional dessert with it.
Killer Cocoa Rum Brownies
When I was on a carbohydrate conscious diet, I learned how to experiment with recipes.
Surprisingly, I was quite successful at both the diet and with my recipes. I still like to bake a lot of those recipes from that diet era of my life. If the recipe includes chocolate, I am all over it.
The surprising fact about rum is that it is carb-free.
I was shocked to learn this as I assumed that anything made with sugar cane byproducts must be loaded with sugar and carbs.
I learned that the sugar that we thought would be in the rum actually doesn't pass through the distillation process. Sweet! Right?
Cocoa is naturally unsweetened.
Any sweetness that comes in your hot cocoa etc has been added to it.For this reason, anyone on a low sugar or low carb diet can embrace cocoa when they bake. At least I do. YAY!
What kind of rum should you use for this cocoa rum brownie recipe?
Dark rum seems to be the rum of choice for most baking recipes. The dark rum is usually the more flavorable rum and thus, the rum taste in your brownies will be more profound than if you had used a light rum. When I bake, I like to use a cheap booze in general. Why spend big bucks on alcohol that will be burned off anyway?
You can cheat on this recipe!
If you bypass the dry ingredients and use a baking mix instead, brownie baking mix, you can make this recipe a lot faster. I won't tell anyone if you do this. I usually make things like this the long way because I have cocoa on hand and rarely think in advance to buy the mixes. Baking anything chocolate inspired is often a spur of the moment thing around here.
The Recipe for Delicious Killer Cocoa Rum BrowniesMake this sugar free by using substitutes as indicated.
This recipe is for the most delicious cocoa rum brownies you could ever taste. Try this recipe sugar free!
What you will need to make Delicious Killer Cocoa Rum Brownies
- Butter or Coconut Oil (my go-to these days)- 1 cup melted (tip: coconut oil melts at a higher temperature making it easy to melt without a microwave!)
- Sugar or alternative- 2 cups or equivalent
- Unsweetened Cocoa- 3/4 cup
- Eggs- 4
- Vanilla Extract-1/2 tablespoons
- AP Flour- 1 cup
- Baking Powder- 1/2 teaspoon
- Salt- dash
- Rum- 1/4 cup
- Optional- bittersweet chocolate- 4 squares or 1 ounce- can use chocolate chips (I use sugar free chocolate chips)
- Optional- chopped nuts 1 cup
How to make this Delicious Killer Cocoa Rum Brownies
- Preheat your oven to 350 and prep your pan for nonstick
- In a large mixing bowl, combine together your dry ingredients. If you are using my 'cheat', just empty it into the bowl and break up the lumps.
- In another bowl,combine your butter/oil, vanilla and then beat in your eggs.
- Pour your wet ingredients into your dry ingredients bowl and then mix in your remaining ingredients.
- Spread the batter into your prepped pan and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow to cool prior to cutting.

Westpac leads the big four banks on cross-sell of wealth
Westpac Group achieved its highest level of cross-sell of wealth management products (Managed Investments and Superannuation) to its traditional banking customers, now leading the Big Four. Of Westpac banking customers who have a wealth management product, 12.0% of its customers hold this product within the Westpac group. These are the latest findings from the Roy Morgan Research Finance Single Source survey.
Westpac Group, up from 9.3% in February 2011 to 12.0% in February 2014 has secured a lead among its peer institutions, and while NAB Group (11.1%) has led over the last few years successfully cross-selling wealth products to its customers it has declined below Westpac Group in more recent times.
CBA Group (9.8%) was ranked second to NAB Group a couple of years ago, and has now dropped 0.5% points to rank below Westpac Group and NAB Group. ANZ Group has been performing well below its peers and while the level of cross sell has increased, it appears ANZ Group is yet to build on its allegiance with One Path (up from 6.2% to 7.9%).
Wealth Cross-Sell to Traditional Banking Customers
Source: Roy Morgan Single Source (Australia), 12 month moving average, Average Sample size = 34,750
Norman Morris, Industry Communications Director, Roy Morgan Research says:
"Westpac's success in cross selling Superannuation and Managed Investments to customers who have core banking products such as accounts, loans or a major card with the institution is highest among the younger and older age groups. The increase over the last couple of years though is evident among people born overseas and particularly people born in Asia.
In support of this, an increasing proportion of Westpac customers also agree with the attitude about looking to their bank to provide for all their financial needs, including Superannuation and Life Insurance. Westpac's strong performance in cross sell is a reflection that it's capitalising on this increasing opportunity."

The information technology and web hosting industries have become infamous over the years for a hype curve on all new technologies. Typically the curve begins when a buzzword technology or solution is introduced by a handful of companies and adopted, sometimes, by an even smaller niche. The promise of these technologies may be so great, however, that bloggers, media, and other companies drive the hype curve to such a level that the technology can go nowhere but down. Then, after it seems like the hype curve has crashed back to earth, we often find that some of the technologies end up truly being game-changers…just perhaps not on the schedule of the early hype.
An excellent example of such a curve in the past decade has been the smartphone and the mobile technologies, as a whole. We've gone from a decade of hype, shattered expectations, and more hype to suddenly a world where it seems virtually one has an iPhone/Android/Blackberry and…yes, there is an app for whatever you need. One recent technology that has also rode the hype rollercoaster is cloud computing and, more specifically for the web hosting industry, cloud hosting. The Small-To-Medium sized business (SMB) market segment stands to benefit greatly from the cloud hosting model as time goes by and the hosting model becomes more commonplace, yet there is a feeling among many that this is a technology that was overhyped and is now under-delivering. This, actually, couldn't be further from the truth.
The term "cloud hosting" refers to a hosting environment in which all you, the customer, need to worry about are the resources your environment requires, whether that be network access capacity, disk storage space, or CPU processing power. In a standard hosting environment, these resources are directly tied to the server hardware and/or storage subsystems you deploy. If you need to resize your environment or scale up, you typically have two options: vertical scaling and horizontal scaling. In a vertical scaling model, you simply get bigger servers to handle the load. In a horizontal scaling model, your environment scales "out" by adding additional servers of approximately the same size so that the processing load can be distributed across these new machines. Obviously, changes in either direction (up or out) can be disruptive to an organization and is the sort of thing that keeps network, hardware, and database administrators working long hours. For customers who opt to go the cloud hosting route, however, each of the hardware resources can be almost literally dialed up (think of a big knob you can turn!) to meet demand. The most advanced cloud hosting environments actually allow you to control the times of day or of the year that the dynamic resizing occurs (think of a situation in which most of your traffic is during the day – these hosts would allow you to dial your resources down at night, which could save you money on your monthly bill!). One term that was used to describe such a model early on was "utility computing" and it is an apt description. In the cloud environment, resource capacity operates almost like your electric and water utilities…as you use more, you pay more. Use less and pay less.
Applications such as onApp (http://onapp.com/) have sprung up to allow hosting providers to effectively manage such environments. Virtualization environment providers such as Xen (http://www.xen.org) have expanded their offerings to also offer a complete cloud infrastructure platform for hosting providers to use. As these tools increase in capability and complexity, the SMB market stands to profit most because a cloud hosting environment is designed specifically to reduce the IT complexity and budgeting requirements to run your mission critical applications on. If you've put off considering cloud hosting, now is the time to reconsider.

Saugatuck Named "Best Small Town Weekend Escape" for the Second Time
With the warmer weather here (sort of) and summer around the corner you'll probably start thinking about some vacations you want to take...

USA Today has named Holland's Tulip Time and Mackinac Island's Lilac Festival among the 20 best flower festivals in the country. Readers can vote for their favorite through March 28.
The nominations are part of USA Today's annual 10Best Readers' Choice Awards.
It's not as catchy as "Furniture City" or "Beer City USA", but Grand Rapids might have a new title it's known for. "No Wipes in the Pipes" is a mailing that has been sent to city residents reminding them to not flush baby or "disposable" wipes down the toilet. Now if the mailing was the only publicity that saying would have gotten, it probably wouldnt be that big of a deal.
We Michiganders know that we have some amazing breweries right here in the Mitten State. Heck, everyone in West Michigan knows that we have the best breweries, hands down (suck it, Asheville). And now, USA Today has bestowed us with another title, honoring our awesome beer.
WZZM is freshening their on air look. No they aren't changing anchors or anything like that (That's right--Dave Kachele's gig is safe--for now ;) ) BUT they are changing the on air look of their graphics and newscasts. Yay!
The string of great national press Grand Rapids has been getting over the past couple of years may have it a speed bump. After the New York Times gave Grand Rapids a glowing review for the new Downtown Market opening next year, everyone around town has been beaming with pride. The USA Today goes and rains on our parade.
Women are more than likely to be...nude in movies than men? It's True! Big shocker I'm sure! Not that I'm arguing with it...:)
For the most part I found most of the Super Bowl Commercials as Blah, Blah, Blah. However there were a few good ones. Here are the USA Today Ad Meter winners.
For the first time, two ads tied for the top Super Bowl commercial as selected by consumer panelists rating the ads as they aired in the game for USA TODAY'S 23rd annual exclusive Ad Meter. Both starred dogs acting like, well, people.

text: Very nice campground with plenty of space between sites. The park was about 75% full however even if it were full there is good space to roam and not feel cramped in. Concur with previous rater that unless you have a pull through it is better to remove towed vehicle at check in line. The driving lanes in the park are narrow and it would be hard for another vehicle to get by. We had site 113, which was a back in on the river's back water edge. It was neat to set out our chairs and enjoy the day come to an end while watching the various boats make their way back to mooring. The cable was not functioning at our site however that didn't bother me so much as we weren't there to watch TV. Check in was easy once we got past the wedding party as they have a hall adjacent to the check in building..which is actually a bar too. All aside, an easy park to find with great access to LaCrosse and the water front. If you have a boat call in advance and try to arrange a site along the 400 numbers as you could probably put the boat on the bank behind your RV.

I really wanna change something, 'cause I've had the same hair for years (almost my whole life lol). I have long honey/dirty blonde hair (maybe it's light brown somewhere haha). I was thinking about dyeing it a little darker, while a couple of friends told me I should try red hair. What do you guys think? I have light-colored eyes if that can help
- Don't dye it, maybe cut it and style it differentlyVote A
- Try red (which shade?)Vote B
- Try brown (which shade?)Vote C
- Try a lighter blondeVote D

I could see you rocking a brown/brunette look!
If not that maybe try a shorter cut, but not bald :P11|00|0
Definitely not bald! Haha thanks!
- Show AllShow Less
I'm too chicken, I'm trying to process what is going to happen before it happens haha
Haha let me peer pressure you then... DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! lol
Were you leaning towards going brunette or cutting it?
Most Helpful Girl
Don't dye it hair unless you are 100% sure that that's the color that you want because otherwise it is nearly impossible to make it any other color than red...

Some of the greatest rivers of the world flow through Bangladesh, and these rivers form what is perhaps the world's most complete system of inland water navigation. Boat operations on inland water play a more prominent role in Bangladesh than anywhere else in the world. The way of life for the 120 million people who live in Bangladesh is to a large extent governed by inland water, and for several months every year between one third to helf of the land is submerged under water. Millions of people take to boats and life becomes a floating world. It is estimated that there are more than 700,000 boats in the country, employing several million people. In the past the fabric of the boats depended on the craft of the carpenter, blacksmith and village weaver. The "country boats" were truly and genuinely "made in Bangladesh". Since the mid 1980s however, a technological revolution has taken place in the country boat sector. Several hundred thousand country boats have been fitted with small engines. Beautiful sailing boats and life around them will soon be remnants of the past. This book aims to convey the atmosphere of the diverse unspoiled shipping on the inland water routes of Bangladesh, and so aims to preserve the rich cultural heritage that the traditional country boats represent in Bangladesh. Trygve Bolstad is a graduate of Ealing School of Photography, London and works freelance from his base and home town Oslo. The recipient of travelling fellowships and prestigious awards, he has photographed widely around the world before he first arived in Bangladesh during the flood of 1988. He is contract photographer for the Norwegian Agency for International Development (NORAD) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Eirik G. Jansen was Project Manager of the Norwegian/Dutch financed Country Boat Study from 1982-4. He has carried out development work and been a researcher in Bangladesh since 1976. He is the author of many books and articles on development issues in Bangladesh. From 1987 to 1990 he was Deputy Resident Representative of the Norwegian Agency for International Development (NORAD), in Dhaka. He is currently a Research Fellow at the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs, Oslo.

BIOFUEL IS THE FUTURE FOR WTCC Representatives of the FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) met the British media today in London for the Brands Hatch press conference, with President of the FIA Touring Car Commission Jonathan Ashman ...
Representatives of the FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) met the British media today in London for the Brands Hatch press conference, with President of the FIA Touring Car Commission Jonathan Ashman confirming the championship's plan to use biofuel next year.
The WTCC already holds several measures within its regulations to limit its environmental impact, such as catalytic converters which filter the cars' exhaust gases, unleaded fuel and noise control as well as allowances for alternative fuel sources such as diesel and bio-ethanol.
2009 will see the championship go to second-generation biofuel (2G), as Ashman explained: "So many products can be used as a source for both first and second-generation biofuel. Whereas first generation uses products that are primarily seen as kitchen consumables, 2G biofuel simply doesn't compete with it. Any produce used is what we consider to be waste, or non-food crops.
"From what I've seen so far, the aspects that fans love about touring car racing, the noise, the excitement and close racing, won't be affected. This is a purely an environmental change."
The WTCC's three British drivers were also present, triple World Champion Andy Priaulx, along with James Thompson and Robert Huff. Each commented on their expectations for the weekend's racing at their home track.
"We're hoping for good results especially after a difficult weekend at the last rounds in Estoril," said Honda's Thompson. "Local knowledge should help, and the track suits certain characteristics of our car so fingers crossed."
"The fans always make a difference," added Huff who drives for Chevrolet. "We have a lot of family coming, which is a great source of support. I've enjoyed some great results so far this year, the team has really brought consistency to my car and our results reflect that. I'm hoping for a fourth or fifth finish at the weekend so fingers crossed!"
"I think finishing in the points would make my weekend," concluded BMW's Priaulx. "SEAT's have been really strong this season so we are fighting to stay in the title chase. Home rounds are always special so I hope to enjoy myself and get some good finishes."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/10/2011 (2123 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Is Mahatma Gandhi in hell?
That's the question that helped start one of the year's biggest controversies in the evangelical Christian world.
It started in 2007, when the Mars Hill Bible Church -- a 10,000-member evangelical megachurch in Grandville, Mich. -- put on an art exhibit about the search for peace in a broken world.
Included in the exhibit was a quotation from Gandhi. A visitor to the exhibition stuck a note next to it. "Reality check," it said. "He's in hell."
When Mars Hill pastor Rob Bell saw the note, he asked himself: "Really? Gandhi's in hell? We have confirmation of this? Somebody knows this? Without a doubt?"
Bell used the incident at the beginning of his controversial bestseller, Love Wins: A Book About Heaven, Hell, and the Fate of Every Person Who Ever Lived.
Released in March, the book ignited a firestorm of criticism. Bell was accused of watering down the Bible and undermining the faith. He was called a heretic and a universalist -- the belief that everyone goes to heaven, no matter who they are or what religion they believe in.
Among the most severe critics was Albert Mohler Jr., president of the influential Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ken.
Mohler charged Bell with using his book to "unravel the Bible's message and to cast doubt on its teachings... tragically, his message will confuse many believers as well as countless unbelievers."
Popular blogger Justin Taylor of the Gospel Coalition, a network of churches that aims to promote "gospel-centred ministry," wrote that Bell's views are "dangerous and contrary to the word of God... if Bell doesn't believe in eternal punishment, then he doesn't think sin is an offence against a holy God."
But others welcomed Bell's fresh thinking about the subject of eternal destiny.
"In Love Wins, Rob Bell tackles the old heaven-and-hell question and offers a courageous alternative answer," said Brian McLaren, author of A New Kind of Christianity.
"Love Wins is, to my eye, a love note to and about Jesus the Christ," said Religion News Service reporter Kathleen Falsani. "God put Bell here to tell people -- by any and all means necessary -- how much God loves them. And that there is nothing they can do to make God love them more or less. That is the 'Good News' of Jesus."
Richard Mouw, president of Fuller Theological Seminary, called Love Wins "a great book, well within the bounds of orthodox Christianity and passionate about Jesus."
Bell, he added, is calling Christians away from "a stingy orthodoxy to a generous orthodoxy... there are stingy people who just want to consign many others to hell and only a few to heaven and take delight in the idea. But Rob Bell allows for a lot of mystery in how Jesus reaches people."
What did Bell say to generate such passionate debate? In a nutshell, he challenges the traditional notion that although God has created billions of people over thousands of years, only Christians get to go to heaven. All the rest suffer eternally in hell.
"A staggering number of people have been taught that a few select Christians will spend forever in a peaceful, joyous place called heaven, while the rest of humanity spends forever in torment and punishment in hell with no chance for anything better," he writes in the book.
How, he asks, could that possibly be good news? And why would God diligently and arduously seek to win people to faith while alive, only to condemn them to eternal punishment and torment one second after they died?
This belief, he says, "is misguided and toxic and ultimately subverts the contagious spread of Jesus' message of love, peace, forgiveness and joy that our world desperately needs to hear."
For Bell, "the centre of the Christian tradition since the first church has been the insistence that history is not tragic, hell is not forever, and love, in the end, wins."
For non-Christians, this debate is irrelevant. But for many Christians, it strikes at the foundation of faith. What if, as Bell writes, "the story of heaven and hell we have been taught is not, in fact, what the Bible teaches? What if what Jesus meant by 'heaven,' 'hell,' and 'salvation' are very different from how we have come to understand them?"
What makes Love Wins doubly challenging for some evangelicals is that Bell is not an atheist, or even a liberal -- he's one of the most influential evangelical leaders in North America today.
As for the controversy, Bell admits to growing weary of all the criticism.
"When you give your life to trying to communicate the love of God that Jesus came to give us, to a world that I desperately believe needs to hear good news, and (have) a number of people say you are a threat and anathema to that message, that just simply hurts at a really basic human heart level," he said in an interview.
All he wanted to do is share a simple message: "God's love never quits."

so I got some pretty good answers from a question I had just hadn't asked yet but another question is, I just found out a few days ago there IS such a thing as "too pretty" and apparently when you're "too pretty," that could scare a guy away or something to that extent? well, I guess my question is, why? and how pretty is too pretty? it's just weird I don't understand it. there's a "not pretty enough" then there's a "too pretty?" that's a small scale don't you think? everybody's equal I guess I just can't grasp how, in a guy's mind, looks affect equality. so can someone explain this to me please? thanks in advance:)
Most Helpful Guy
Too pretty, out of my league, etc. is really easy to be. For me any girl I consider attractive I say is too pretty because I'm fat and ugly. Basically being a pretty girl you're going to intimidate a lot of guys. So you're going to have to be putting in the extra effort possibly because guys will be afraid of you turning them down. There is an in-between too that's "just right" it's not just an all or nothing option for looks.
As for what exactly is too pretty, that will be different for every single guy.00|00|0
Thank you for your response...and don't say that....story time! ;) I dated this guy that everybody called "poodle" because they thought he looked like a poodle..seriously. he had intense acne and everybody repeatedly asked me why I was dating him (huuuge pet peeve of mine) and I ended up falling in love with him:) we didn't work out because I got scared but all these varsity assholes stare at me or talk about me and I end up with WOW and Call of Duty nerds. guess I speak the same language XD
Lol I'm one of those nerds...

A window manager is very different from a init script system. We don't currently allow individual maintainers to put different kernels into Fedora repository. A init system is very similar.
For a alternatively init system to properly work with the system requires all packages that provide init scripts to also provide a different one for each different init system that we have in the repository unless they have a SysV init compatibility mode.
This is quite a large amount of integration work required which packagers not be interested in. Some sort of experimental version is ok for testers in the development branch but this wouldnt scale much for the "stable" branches that we have to maintain.
Do you see that as a problem? If so what is the solution that you are suggesting?

With SUNY Plattsburgh
You don't wave to be wealthy to make a big difference. You just need a plan for achieving your personal and philanthropic objectives, and we're here to help you establish that plan.
As you create or refine a plan to provide for your or your family's future, and as you think about the charities and organizations you wish to support, we hope you consider including a gift to SUNY Plattsburgh in your estate.
Your planned gift could be the solution to the economic challenges many of our students face while earning their degree. In some cases, it can also provide a reliable income stream to you, your spouse or your family during their lifetime(s).
One of the simplest planned gifts is through a bequest in your will. You may choose to leave a fixed amount, a certain percentage of your estate or a remainder interest. You may specify your gift be used to meet the college's most urgent needs, restrict funds to a specific program, or create an endowment that would generate income in perpetuity.
Sample Bequest Language: When you include a gift to your alma mater in your estate plans or as a beneficiary, please specify The Plattsburgh College Foundation (Federal Tax ID# 14-1484644) at 101 Broad St. Plattsburgh, NY 12901 as the named beneficiary.
These gifts can provide you with income for life, while allowing you to make a significant gift to the foundation. Depending on your investments, a charitable gift annuity or a remainder trust might provide a higher rate of return than you are currently receiving. Read more.
Naming the foundation as a beneficiary of your life-insurance policy is a very simple gift to make. Should you transfer ownership of the policy to the foundation and designate it as the beneficiary, it is also possible to receive a charitable deduction.
As IRAs, 401(k) plans and other retirement plan options grow in number, gifts of retirement plans have become popular.

Stallions are not for beginners. A breeding stallion is one of nature's finest examples of perfect libido wrapped up in muscle, bone and sheer focus. During breeding season, a stallion can be more than a handful, and it is often necessary to use a bit more force in handling them than at other times of the year. One method is to use a stud chain.
Things You'll Need
- Stud chain
- Lead rope with snap
Placing the chain properly is the first step. Most often, the chain needs to be snapped on the opposite side of the handler, at the link next to the horses eye. It is then run down, through the cheek link, then over the nose next to the halter nose band, through the cheek link closest to the handler, then to the lead rope. This applies pressure to the nose and is most often sufficient.
The chain can also be run under the chin in the same fashion as above, or doubled under the chin without being snapped to the link near the horse's eye. This applies pressure to the horse's chin, and can be quite severe.
Lastly, and not recommended, is to create a "warbridle" with the stud chain by running the chain over the top gums of the stallion rather than over the nose. This is only for expert horseman, as it can cause excruciating pain to the stallion and can also cause terrible damage to the horse's mouth.
When using a stud chain, always begin with the smallest amount of force and work upward. You do not want to come down with all your strength from the get-go. This will actually work against you, because it may cause the stallion to go directly into fight mode, as he will feel that his life is being threatened. You do not want a stallion seeing you as an enemy, no matter how many chains you have on him.
Always start with the mildest setup of the chain, and work up from that as well. Remember, the goal is to have the stallion work with you, not against you.

text: Once we are in October 2012 it will be a year, since it was announced that Pirates 5's script was being re-written. Is it possible that in October 2012 or in November 2012, that Pirates 5's movie title and release date will be announced? Or since Terry Rossio mentioned to someone on his website "Wordplayer.com", that Pirates 5's movie title and release date might be announced in April 2013, by saying that "Around April is about right", is that more likely when Pirates 5's movie title and release date will be announced? Also, There are websites that are saying now, that Pirates 5 will start filming in Puerto Rico in November 2012, and there are websites basically saying that that is actually not true. Is it possible that that is not true and that they will actually start filming in Puerto Rico, either once or right after the upcoming Disney movie The Lone Ranger has been released to theaters, like maybe starting in July or August? Or during sometime after that? Although, i don't think Pirates 5 will be released to theaters until July 2015, because i doubt that Disney would release two big Disney movies starring Johnny Depp, one right after the other in 2013 and in 2014 a year or so after. Am i right in thinking that they would have 2014 as a gap between The Lone Ranger and Pirates 5? Also, The Avengers 2 is going to be released on Friday May 1st 2015, so is it possible that Pirates 5 would end up being released to theaters sometime in July 2015, rather then it being released to theaters in May 2015 if Pirates 5 gets released to theaters in 2015?

Big wealth managers face pressure to put more weight on staff behaviour when setting their pay, after the corporate watchdog found many are not properly managing conflicts between their financial interests and those of customers.
An Australian Securities and Investments Commission review published on Monday suggests some of the country's big wealth managers may effectively be paying lip service to how they handle conflicts of interest.
The review found some companies adopted policies governing conflicts, without implementing these policies. .
It came as ASIC chairman Greg Medcraft, who is pushing for cultural change in finance after a series of scandals, stepped up his call for stronger legal powers to penalise executives when they preside over systemic problems with misconduct.
Mr Medcraft also rejected as "ridiculous" the complaints of some business leaders that ASIC was overstepping the mark in its crackdown on misconduct in the industry.
Conflicts are common
Conflicts of interest are common in finance, and arise when a staff member stands to gain by recommending a financial product that is inappropriate for the customer, for instance.
ASIC's review covered the 12 biggest vertically integrated wealth managers, a group that includes the major banks, AMP and Macquarie Group. The review excluded, though, the banking, financial advice and insurance arms of these firms.
The report, which follows recent misconduct scandals in the sector, said many firms "appear to take their conflicts management obligations seriously, with detailed and tailored policies".
However, it said there were problems in the way some firms managed conflicts that arose regarding remuneration, selecting products for customers, outsourcing of work, and membership of boards.
Pay overhaul needed
On pay, ASIC was "concerned" there was "limited evidence" that pay structures adequately considered staff conduct, compliance training and behaviour as a driver of remuneration.
While the report was not specifically focused on remuneration, it flagged the potential for further regulator scrutiny of the incentives facing staff from bonus structures.
"We consider that compliant behaviour is a key aspect of performance. We may conduct a further review of remuneration practices in the financial services industry," it said.
If it's the tree that's continuing to bring in the bad apples, you've got to go for the tree to solve the problem.ASIC chairman Greg Medcraft
Other top regulators, including Reserve Bank governor Glenn Stevens and Australian Prudential Regulation Authority chairman Wayne Byres, have also flagged concerns about the incentives facing some workers in finance.
ASIC hits back
The report was launched at ASIC's annual conference, at which Mr Medcraft also hit back at criticism of its emphasis on culture from the former chief executive of the Australian Institute of Company Directors, John Colvin.
Mr Colvin has argued against penalising directors and senior managers under the guise of culture.
In response, Mr Medcraft said it was "ridiculous" to call ASIC the "culture police", and it was a matter of personal accountability for directors and senior executives, who could not simply blame "bad apples".
"If you've got a continual problem with lots of bad apples, you can get rid of the bad apples ... but if it's the tree that's continuing to bring in the bad apples, you've got to go for the tree to solve the problem," Mr Medcraft said.
Penalties under review
The government has committed to next year reviewing penalties ASIC can impose, after the financial system inquiry of late 2014 said the watchdog should have tougher powers to "substantially" increase penalties so they deterred large firms from breaching financial services laws.
Mr Medcraft argued that for banks, problems with culture were closely linked to the wave of digital competition banks faced, as digital technology allowed customers to easily highlight problems and switch providers.
ASIC's report was focused on "vertically integrated" wealth managers – those with business interests in several parts of the sector including investment management, ownership of platforms, or superannuation trusteeship.
The report also highlighted some areas for improvement in the outsourcing of services to related parties.
It highlighted one example where super fund members' interests were damaged when a life insurer with the same ultimate owner failed to properly implement changes to its life policies
As a result, ASIC said, several large insurance claims were wrongly declined, and that this would not have occurred if the super fund trustee had been dealing with an external insurer.

Teen pop star justin beiber is not only ruling the music industry but also the retail sector! The 16-year-old has already several merchandises by his name and now the latest addition to this long list is his own set of trading cards and stickers.
Earlier, we have seen nail polish, singing dolls and a best-selling memoir by his name. These items sold like hot cakes thus encouraging the entry of these latest trading cards, which has been launched by an Entertainment collectible company called 'Panini America". Bieber fans can soon avail these trading cards from the retail stores like Target, Walmart, Toys "R" Us etc.
Speaking about the latest venture, Justin said that he always dreamt of being famous as a hockey player and thus have his own trading card. So, as a kid, Bieber used to collect those hockey cards and hopes that the kids of today enjoy his cards.
As per the sources, there will be 150 cards and 30 stickers and 4 nine-card puzzles. The fans can buy the packs containing trading cards and one sticker, at $1.99. These trading cards will act as a temporary stop gap between his last month"s release 'My Worlds Acoustic" album and his next 3D concert movie titled 'Never Say Never", which will release on February 11, 2011.
We wish the young fans of the pop star really enjoy his trading cards!

Bludgeon? Sure
But when you're 80 meters tall, the spine of a ship suddenly look sharp
Anyway, this is similar in concept with GINN sword from Gundam SEED, they are not especially sharpened but is more than enough to deliver internal damage, along with heavy dent. Do remember: Kaijuu blood are all sort of dangerous, they're toxic, radioactive and has a long decay time. If anything, not spilling blood is preferred

Now that you mention about he blood, I do wonder the Anti-Kaiju missiles work. They explode but they don't really blow up the Kaiju. (from what I see during Striker's debut) They're like rocket-propelled hammers just inflicting severe blunt damage to the internal organs, killing the Kaiju.
If you're going to include that in the PR/IS fic that is.

Pacific rim people never have firepower issue (A jager punch is equivalent of Tomahawk missile)
Using I.S. against Kaijuu is not about firepower or durability issue, but sheer size difference will make holding them at bay exceptionally difficult.
In my concept, I.S. are far, far larger. They are still powerful, and definitely more powerful than conventional jaegers when they're introduced.
