- Aegean Sea: The Theme of the Aegean Sea was a Byzantine province in the northern Aegean Sea, established in the mid-9th century. As one of the Byzantine Empire's three dedicated naval themes, it served chiefly to provide ships and troops for the Byzantine navy, but also served as a civil administrative circumscription.
Aegean Sea a.k.a. The Aegean Sea tanker oil spill was a spill that occurred on 3 December 1992 when the double-bottom Greek-flagged oil tanker, Aegean Sea, en route to Repsol refinery in A Coruña, Spain, suffered an accident off the Galician coast. The ship had successfully passed all required tests and revisions. The accident occurred during extreme weather conditions and affected the Galician coast resulting in ecosystem damage, as well as damage to the fishing and tourist industries in A Coruña. The captain and pilot were found to be criminally liable and the shipowner took on much of the monetary liability.

Kids these days can do anything lol My daughter is only 3 since march and can work a touch screen phone, an ipad & a ipod, she knows how to take her own pictures, go to games & listen to the music all at the same time, when i was growing up at 3 years old i didnt even know what a cell phone was, Lol i didnt even know what a pager was but everybody had one.
Comment deleted
My daughter knows how to unlock it with the swipe code. Im just like omg what 3 year old can remember a swipe pattern? lol shes too smart.
yeah, its kinda scary how much we depend on technology! We didnt allow our kids to have any "screen time" until they were 5. Now my 3 year old wants to play on the devices but i tell him hes too young. We still keep "screen time" to a minimum with the older two
It is crazy, and a little scary. I try hard to minimize the amount of time my kids play on the iPad/phones/whatever but it sure is nice to be able to hand it to them and have 10 minutes of peace!
I agree that it's a little scary. I love that Avery has access to so much information, but I worry about all the stuff she can get to (and that can get to her). I also want her to really enjoy simple things like going outside. Technology can get in the way of that.
I agree how easy it is for them to learn and catch on to using techie devices.
Lol this is very very true. My daughter will be 18 months in 2 days and she knows how to unlock my husband and my cell phone, literally attempts to play games on his PS4, knows how to record videos and take pictures on both of our phones, knows what my car key is used for, tries to write, put on her shoes the correct way, and when I ask her to look for something that I know she knows NOTHING about just to watch her run around, she ACTUALLY FINDS THE ITEM lol. It is truly amazing.
Oh yes, this is a problem and mine is only 2... He changed my phone into german and Im buggered if I know how to change it back.
I didnt even have a cell phone until I turned 18 and that was a HUGE deal for me. I like having the ipad for rainy days for my son but I wish he would want to play outside more

CSC and OTC combined for almost 750 haircuts within the two days, surpassing last year's 500 impressively.

A new Congress-led coalition government, the Meghalaya Democratic Alliance, has been sworn into the seventh assembly in Meghalaya. But it is still early in the day to predict whether this government, which appears to be a bundle of contradictions, will last the full five-year term.
The MDA comprises the Congress, four regional parties and independents and has a total strength of 40 in a house of 60 legislators. There are 38 ministers in the new dispensation under the leadership of the chief minister, D.D. Lapang. What is interesting, however, is the fact that the Congress, which has 22 legislators, is sharing power with parties like the United Democratic Party and other regional parties which were conceived to counter Congress policies. The last few years have seen dramatic changes in Meghalaya, with parties who never saw eye to eye with the Congress, now eating from the same pie. What could be the reason for this change'
There are many reasons, but as of now, only one comes to mind to keep the little magician of Meghalaya politics, Purno Agitok Sangma, and his party, the Nationalist Congress Party, out of power and thereby pour cold water on Sangmas toppling games at which he excels like none other.
The Purno Sangma threat has led to some interesting permutations in Meghalaya this time. For instance, one could never imagine seeing the likes of the young student leader-turned-politician, Paul Lyngdoh, or, for that matter, the veteran Hopingstone Lyngdoh, sitting together with Congress legislators, especially the chief minister, Lapang, against whom they had waged many a battle at times very personal ones. But this is perhaps the uncertainty or should we say the uniqueness of politics and politicians in the state of Meghalaya. Last time, every single politician, barring three Bharatiya Janata Party legislators and a Garo National Council legislator, jumped onto Purno Sangmas bandwagon in order to ensure that the tainted UDP president, E.K. Mawlong, was removed from chief ministership.
The Congress, which was maintaining a safe distance from the NCP, had happily jumped at the offer and played second fiddle to the NCP and F.A. Khonglam. Happiest of the lot was Lapang, as he had never expected these dramatic developments after the Meghalaya House, Calcutta controversy. For him it was a blessing in disguise to be in power as deputy chief minister, for he knew that his poll prospects were gloomy and the only way to win the electoral battle from his constituency was by extracting maximum mileage from being in power. That is exactly what happened and Lapang not only proved his detractors wrong, but also returned as chief minister, a dream he has been nursing for quite a while.
However, in all fairness, Lapang must be given his due for making things happen, not just during the elections, but after it as well. Purno Sangma, always looking for an opportunity to cobble together a coalition, nearly succeeded in engineering a split in the MDA soon after its formation. But Lapang kept his cool and thus managed to keep his ship afloat as well. What may have worked for Lapang and not for Purno Sangma is the fact that almost all regional parties walked out on the NCP at a time when it needed them the most.
The surprising package, both pre- and post-assembly polls, was the emergence of the Khun Hynniewtrep National Awakening Movement as a major force. But what baffled everyone and hit all political equations for a six was the KHNAMs decision to support the Lapang government. The KHNAM, which is a political wing of the Khasi Students' Union, had been at loggerheads with Lapang and the Congress for a long time. Only last year, Lapang and the former chief minister, F.A. Khonglam, had announced their decision to form a special cell to monitor the activities of the KHNAM, which they claimed was a party to alleged extortions by the KSU. In reply, the KHNAM-KSU combine had accused Lapang and Khonglam of being corrupt and had slammed murder and rape-attempt charges on Lapang. Not that the KHNAM leader, Paul Lyngdoh, and Lapang have submerged their differences now; they are merely on the same side of the line.
What perhaps made the KHNAM, which won two seats, join the MDA is the fact that the NCP, which won 14 seats 13 of them from the Garo Hills does not have any Khasi representative. Lyngdoh has been clear about one thing the KSUs demands, especially on reservation, which has been a bone of contention between the Khasi and Garo communities. Lyngdoh has, without reservations, said that joining the government was one way to take up the KSU demands inside the corridors of power where Khasis and Garos are almost equally represented. The KHNAM is fully aware that while it would be difficult to push through its agenda in an NCP-led government, the Congress would be more flexible.
Lyngdoh, who has been made minister of sports and youth affairs, is already feeling the pressure of politics, which he admits is a different ball game. While the young student leader-turned-politician may justify his decision, this being his first step into politics, the decision of the Hill State Peoples Democratic Party chief, Hopingstone Lyngdoh, to be in the MDA was unexpected. This veteran politician, who has been a part of the statehood struggle, has always maintained his own identity and more often than not preferred to sit in the opposition rather than join hands with the Congress.
His role in the opposition has had a telling effect on many a government in the past and he is known for his integrity and commitment to his principles, no matter what. Those who have worked closely with Bah Hopingstone, as he is lovingly called, feel that the veteran leader wants to settle scores with Purno Sangma for sidelining his party in the previous government. The other reason could be that Khonglam has succeeded in influencing the HSPDP into submission before the Congress so that he could be in power, even if it meant that he would have to be content with the tourism portfolio.
With hindsight, the developments over the last five years in Meghalaya can be seen as the decay of what was set in place by stalwarts like Williamson Sangma, B.B. Lyngdoh and others. Politics these days need not underwrite ideologies. There perhaps cannot be stranger bedfellows than the UDP and its breakaway Meghalaya Democratic Party but the two are together in the MDA and have no regrets whatsoever.
After all, the saying, which everyone believes, or rather clings to, is that in politics everything is possible and in politics there are no permanent enemies or foes. This may hold true one day and not the other. The NCP state unit president, Robert Kharshiing, who is also the Rajya Sabha member of parliament from Shillong, would like to prove its truth. He has been toying with the idea of an all party government with which he is aiming to experiment one day, notwithstanding the fact that in a healthy democracy you always need a healthy opposition and it is not all about power.
But then who knows which way the wind turns in Meghalaya' It is very difficult to predict and it would not be surprising to see the jumbo ministry swell in the days ahead, if the NCP decides to join hands with the Congress.
For now, Lapang and his ragtag band are treading carefully so as not to bump into the road blocks that have been left behind by Purno Sangma, who is always looking for any opportunity that comes by. He has heard about simmering discontent within the coalition over power-sharing and is already rolling up his sleeves to try and pull out another trick. It matters little if he misses the target. After all, given the political situation in Meghalaya, which is always fluid, it is worth a try.

What would First Friday be without splattered paint across rich canvasses, soothing tunes from folksy locals, refreshing cocktails enlivening the room and a reliable food source of mouthwatering goodness awaiting you the moment you step foot out of the door? Well, at least that is how the Sea•thos Foundation does First Friday, and if you missed out, you really missed out.
The night, aside from the usual celebration of art and its ability to bring Venice locals out on the town, was dedicated to bringing awareness to the eyes and ears of those in attendance about the newly formed guardian of our ocean waters. With World Oceans Day just a shot away, the not-for-profit sought out to open some eyes to this hard-at-work mission at play along Abbot Kinney.
The event started off with the easy riding tones of the Venice folk band, Terraplane Sun, a five-man band known for working in perfect harmony, only briefly acoustic but worthwhile for any patrons lucky enough to be present at the moment.
The ingenious local artist and activist Michael deNicola made an appearance and was nice enough to bring his some of his latest and greatest ocean-inspired works, including colorfully sporadic abstract pieces and cardboard-based collages, as well as one of his highly sought-after three-dimensional recycled surfboard pieces. DeNicola has a past collaborating with Sea•thos and only continued to add to the nonprofit's reputation for quality presentation. His genuine personality drifted around the room throughout the evening, striking sincere conversations with grateful art lovers and guests alike.
The night continued on with Acaí vodka-inspired cocktails provided by VeeV, the invigorating "pink drink" and freshly made mojitos with a mint leaf accent from start to finish, impossible to say "no" to, time and time and time again. VeeV specializes in being the first certified carbon neutral spirits company in the world, fitting in well with World Oceans Day around the bend.
The gourmet foods trucks that lie outside the doors of Sea•thos included the tasty Twist Burgers truck as well as the famous Nom Nom truck. Various guests sampled all three types of burgers available from Twist Burgers, beef, turkey, and veggie, as well as their delicious sweet potato and shoe string fries with their flavored twist seasoning. Nom Nom was on a roll with their popular pork Bahn Mi sandwiches and grilled pork Vietnamese tacos. Mouths were left with a spicy kick at the end of the night to say the least. Overall, everyone was blown away with the quality of food and service from both food trucks leading to a successful night.
Guests were sent off with bellies full of food, bladders full of quality spirits and satisfied looks across their faces as they exited for the evening, already with the mindset to return again next month.
A quiet buzz filtering the room throughout the night carried the crowd's curiosity and anxiousness as to the great things to come from this newly bred group, a potential to make a much-needed impact in and around our fair town, to motivate change in how people treat its waters, to shepherd us from further polluting it and to restore the damaged reputation of our pristine oceans.
Sea•thos led First Friday as the talk of the town, showing people a good ole environmentally sound time, with a bright future up ahead. Its members are eternally grateful to those who came out. And if you didn't this time, don't be foolish enough to miss out again, as anyone there could tell, the times are only going to get better.
To support your ocean, Sea•thos and World Oceans Day, pledge the change we all hope to see.

About a week ago I discovered a program, called WinExposé, that clones the Mac Exposé feature very well. There have been several new releases of that software since I mentioned it which is really nice to see. In fact, it is one of the most updated pieces of software that I have ever seen. Many of the releases since that time have been for bug fixes and they are surely paying off, because it continues to get better and better.
Windows Vista has the built-in Flip-3D if your computer can handle all of the cool Desktop Window Manager (DWM) effects. The Flip-3D feature is very neat but I still don't think it is as useful and productive as Mac's Exposé is. There is an awesome program called My Exposé which someone created and works only in Windows Vista with DWM enabled. That's because it uses the DWM API in order to do all of the cool transitioning and transparency effects.
Unfortunately my laptop doesn't support DWM but my desktop does, and that is how I took the screenshot above. The program does seem to be a little graphics intensive because the animations are a little jittery, even though Flip-3D works flawlessly for me on my ATI x300 graphics card. I know it isn't the best graphics card but it handles itself great with other Vista features.
The other thing that I don't like at this point is that there is no tray icon or any confirmation that the program is actually running (except the classic Ctrl+Alt+Del, which is how you have to shutdown the program as well). To configure what buttons it uses to activate the Exposé feature you'll have to edit a text file, and the default button is set to be F9. It can also be configured to activate itself when your mouse moves over a certain part of the screen and the default for that is the upper-left corner.
Overall I think it is a really great program but there is some work that needs to be done before it will feel usable to me. I'm not quite sure why the animation is so jumpy when the built-in Flip-3D works great. Hopefully the developer will continue to work on the program and fine tune it.

How To Ship A Cake Out Of State
Decorating By simplysweetbygigi Updated 6 Jul 2009 , 10:40pm by Rylan
I have a request to make a very large designer handbag cake, however, the customer would like it to be shipped to Chicago. I am in New Jersey. Has anyone shipped a cake before and if so how do you go about packaging it and what mailing server did you use. Any info would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance to all with any info.
Shipping a cake is a horrible idea. There are several posts on this site showing the sad results. You can pay for insurance, but NOT ONE CARRIER WILL REIMBURSE YOU IF THE CAKE IS DAMAGED.
If the recipient is willing to pay $$$$$$$$$$$$ for white glove handling from airport to airport, then it may be an option. I believe Continental airlines offers something like this.
You would be better off flying from LaGuardia to Chicago on a cheap Southwest airlines flight and hand delivering the cake. That's the cheapest, safest way to go.
There are so many cake stores in Chicago. You might just want to suggest another company if the lady doesn't want to pay for you to fly with the cake.
She is right - lots and lots of horror stories about shipping cakes.
Read this sad story and then make your decision...
some will say they have done it with success, but Rae just about tells you the truth, whole truth and nothing but the truth with her reply. Good Luck!
It's summer... don't trust the summer heat.
We recieved shipped flowers and it was horrible when it arrived.

By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN,
Published: January 7, 1994
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6— The Clinton Administration today cut by more than $1 billion the amount of clothing and fabrics China can export to the United States, retaliating for what it said were Chinese attempts to get around American limits on imports by shipping goods into the United States through other nations.
American apparel manufacturers quickly welcomed the Administration's punitive action, since it will slightly curb China's ability to compete with American-made goods and possibly save some jobs. But some American retailers complained that consumers could face shortages and higher prices, particularly low-income shoppers who may depend on some of these illicit Chinese sweaters, knit shirts and cotton trousers. The retailers urged the Administration to negotiate a settlement with Beijing.
All told, American retailers purchase about 6 percent of their clothing from China, according to the Johnson Redbook Service, a retail research organization. Takes Effect on Jan. 17
Because the punitive measure will not take effect until Jan. 17, there is a chance that the United States and China will come to an understanding that would better control or limit illicit Chinese exports. According to one Government estimate, about $2 billion of Chinese textiles and apparel is evading American import quotas each year.
The United States trade representative, Mickey Kantor, announced the decision at a news conference. It will take effect two days before Treasury Secretary Lloyd Bentsen arrives in Beijing for high-level trade talks with Chinese leaders. Mr. Kantor said import quotas from China would be reduced by 25 to 35 percent on 88 categories of clothing, cloth and other products, including shop cloths used to clean industrial machinery. Beijing Refuses to Talk
Mr. Kantor said American officials had been monitoring the Chinese exports for some time and had been trying to persuade China to resume negotiations with the United States on an agreement for tighter controls and stiffer penalties to limit illicit exports. But Beijing refused this week to resume talks aimed at such an agreement, which the United States now has with 16 other major exporters.
There was no reaction today from Chinese officials to the American charges.
In foreign policy terms, the move underscores the degree to which China is gradually challenging Japan as the biggest trade headache for the United States, as well as the extent to which Chinese-American frictions are now as much over trade disputes as human rights abuses. China's trade surplus with the United States, now about $25 billion a year, is second only to Japan's.
In domestic policy terms, the move is a gesture by the Clinton Administration to American textile manufacturers and their representatives in Congress, who have been chafing over the fact that the Administration did not win them the long-term protection they were seeking from the recently concluded global trade agreement.
Mr. Kantor said that United States Customs Service investigators had found that Chinese fabrics and clothing had been illegally shipped to the United States through at least 25 other countries, including Honduras and Panama, as well as Hong Kong. Sweaters to Macao
In one case, he said, 3.6 million sweaters were shipped from China to neighboring Macao, a steamy Portuguese territory next to Hong Kong with a population of only 475,000.
"The climate is such that it would be quite unusual for each of them to buy eight sweaters in one year," Mr. Kantor wryly noted about the residents of Macao. What happened instead, he said, was that Chinese sweaters were relabeled "Made in Macao" and transshipped to the United States. In another case, he said, 625 million kilograms of shop towels -- small rags used to clean industrial machinery -- were made in China and then shipped to Honduras.
Honduras, Mr. Kantor said, is "not one of the great economic and manufacturing powers in the world." He added, "Given the limited number of heavy manufacturing industries in this country, obviously it would take decades for this volume of shop towels to actually be used in Honduras."
In fact, the goods were relabeled "Made in Honduras" and shipped to the United States.
"The President committed in his executive order last May, when extending most-favored-nation status for China, that the Administration would pursue resolutely all legislative and executive actions to insure that China abides by its commitments to follow fair, nondiscriminatory trade practices," Mr. Kantor said.
"In line with the President's policy in this regard," he added, "I am announcing today that due to our inability to reach agreements with China to stem or stop their illegal textile transshipments, which have reached massive proportions -- about $2 billion a year -- the United States is taking action to reduce China's 1994 textile quotas effective Jan. 17."
The Administration has been trying to console the American textile industry after agreeing, in the recently concluded world trade talks under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, to replace American textile import quotas with less restrictive tariffs over 10 years. The American textile industry had sought to phase in the new tariffs over 15 years.

Blizzard hockey: An unbelievable opportunity for three players
Alexandria Blizzard players Alex Altenbernd, Steve Zierke and Brent Bain all had the same reaction when head coach Doc DelCastillo approached them with a rare opportunity last Wednesday.
None of them could believe it when DelCastillo talked to them before practice and presented them with a chance to play one game with the USA Under-18 team on Saturday. The opponent for that game happened to be one of the top five teams in the country in the University of North Dakota.
"At first when he told me, I was like, 'Say that again,' " Bain said. "I couldn't believe it. I mean, I never thought I would be playing against UND this season."
They did not take long to accept the offer. They joined their U-18 teammates in Grand Forks on Saturday after the team had played the Fargo Force of the United States Hockey League (USHL) the night before.
The U-18 team is a part of the USA Hockey National Team Development Program. The squad is based out of Ann Arbor, Mich., and plays a 50-plus game schedule against organizations in the USHL and top competition from Division I and Division III conferences. The team won gold at the 2010 IIHF World Under-18 Championship in Belarus this past April.
The group is currently shorthanded because of injuries and the fact that forward Rocco Grimaldi is with the junior national team preparing for the World Junior Championships. That opened the door for the three Alexandria forwards. They were thrilled to take advantage of a chance to wear the Team USA jersey.
"It means a ton," Zierke said. "Just putting on that jersey, not many people get to do that. It was really awesome to represent the USA."
The nerves that were running through each of them before the game were replaced with adrenaline once they hit the ice. They all played on the fourth line together and got around 12 or 13 shifts.
All three felt they made an impact, even if it did not show up on the stat sheet. Bain was the only one credited with a shot on goal. That came in a third period that started in a scoreless tie before UND scored twice and went on to win 2-1.
"I thought we held our own," Altenbernd said. "We didn't get scored on, and we were in their zone a lot, too. I thought we played well. Bain almost had a tip-in goal. That would have been pretty cool, but we did our job out there."
Playing toe-to-toe with the Sioux should help their psyche going into the second half of the NAHL season. All of them said being able to skate with one of the best teams in the country was a confidence boost.
"You're playing against some guys that might be going to the NHL," Zierke said. "It's just a faster pace. I thought that would be a problem, but I thought we kept up with them. We got a couple chances, could have scored. It just helped get that confidence in our goal scoring that we [can bring back to the Blizzard]."
Playing in Ralph Engelstad Arena also offered them a glimpse of the kind of venue they want to play in every night. DelCastillo said he feels all three have the talent to play Division I hockey. They are still trying to prove they deserve that opportunity. Playing against the Sioux for one night gave them an idea of what it takes to play at that level.
"It helps all three of us kind of see what it takes physically," Altenbernd said. "You got to make plays. It's a lot faster, but it definitely helps us. If we're going to play Division I, this will do nothing but help."

It's perfect.
If you're wondering how a 26-year-old car can be in such an exceptional condition, the collector who bought it kept it for around a decade at the dealer. It's an obvious sign the 190E Evo II featured here was purchased purely as an investment, with the odometer showing just 855 miles (1,375 kilometers). It's the car number 452 out of a total of 502 manufactured and at the same time it is one of the only four that were officially sold as new in U.K. by Mercedes.
It would be futile to talk about its condition since the images give the impression the car has just left the assembly line. Even by today's standards the 190E Evo II is a respectable machine, with 235 horsepower (173 kilowatts), 0-62 mph (0-100 kph) in 7.1 seconds and a top speed of 155 mph (250 kph). Like all 190E Evo IIs, it comes with a blue black metallic exterior, while this particular car has an almost impeccable leather interior.
It's certainly a rare opportunity to buy a mint condition, low-mileage Evolution II, so it's no wonder Silverstone Auctions is estimating the car will fetch £180,000 – £220,000 (about $233,550 – $285,459) at the Salon Prive Sale at Blenheim Palace on September 3rd.
UPDATE: The final sale price was 202,500 pounds.
If you have the means to buy a classic Mercedes in great condition, the Mercedes-Benz Museum has been directly selling restored models since November last year. We checked the alltime-stars.com website to see if there's anything interesting and found a lovely 1960 190 SL (W121) in Concours Condition with 18 miles (29 km) on the clock, hence the hefty €212,121 (about $235,025) price tag.

I was asked to make a butterfly cake for a friend's daughter for her birthday. I do not have a butterfly cake pan and really don't want to purchase one to make just this one cake. I do have a sheet cake pan, would I be able to do something with this?? Does anyone have any picture's or tutorials on how to do this without a butterfly cake pan???
Or maybe a template??
Thank you for any help! =)
You can google butterflys and look at the images, when you find one you like you can trace it onto paper then make a template out of that!
Hmmm...how about a loaf pan for the middle and 4 small round (two for each wing). You could make the middle (loaf pan) thinner if needed and use unused portion for a round head. Also, I would trim off the round cakes where they meet the body, and where the upper and lower wings meet. Hope this is not too confusing....
Another idea would be to make your sheet cake as usual...frost, and then free hand a butterfly and decorate, so you have a picture of a butterfly on your usual sheet cake. Good Luck...sounds fun!!
This is one of the cutest butterfly cakes I've seen and it's made with a round cake pan.
En youtube Betty crocket.How to make a butterfly.
I did one with a square cake, cut corner to corner, then place the 2 remaining right angles together. You'll need to trim and reshape a bit, but it's a good start without too much loss of cake.
I also have some butterfly cakes I made using round pans. The picture is in my gallery. Note that I made these before I actually started doing cake decorating as a hobby. =)

Still holding customers over a barrel
This week marks the 30th anniversary of the Arab oil embargo. Western countries are no less in thrall to Middle Eastern oil than they were then
ON OCTOBER 17th 1973, Saudi Arabia and several of its oil-rich neighbours voted to cut off oil supplies to America. Two days later, Libya said it would also cut supplies to America and raise the price of oil to other countries from $4.90 a barrel to $8.25 a barrel. Arab frustration at Israel's military victory that month came to a peak on October 21st when Dubai, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait cut off supplies too. The Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), founded in Iraq in 1960 to promote the interests of producer nations, had finally found its muscle.
A casual observer of the energy business today might find little changed from that tumultuous autumn of 30 years ago. Once again there is talk of scarcity and crisis. The Middle East is again on the brink of chaos, not only because of Arab countries' resentment over America's support for Israel, but also because of its military occupation of Iraq. And, after years of weakness in the 1990s, OPEC has sprung back to life. Although oil prices have remained around $30 a barrel for some time, and western economies are anaemic at best, the cartel shocked the market last month by voting to cut its output even further.
Moreover, America's Congress is in the final stages of intense negotiation over a huge energy bill that is based on the administration's notion that there is a serious energy-supply crisis. The bill is expected to be passed by Congress any day now. "It's becoming very clear to the country", George Bush has said, "that demand is outstripping supply." The Texas oilman's words echo those of Jimmy Carter in 1977. "The diagnosis of the US energy crisis is quite simple," he said. "Demand for energy is increasing while supplies of oil and natural gas are diminishing."
It's the market, stupid
If so many things remain unchanged, is the power of OPEC to bring western economies to their knees one of them? The answer to that is complicated: OPEC's power was enhanced by stupid policies pursued by western governments, then reduced by wiser policies of energy conservation, and now is making an alarming comeback.
First, consider what the Arab embargo actually accomplished. In technical terms it was a complete failure: OPEC oil shipped to Europe was simply resold to America or, in effect, it displaced non-OPEC oil that was redirected from Europe across the Atlantic. Prices did rise, but that affected all oil consumers not just Americans. Oil, it became clear at the time, is a "fungible" global commodity. In 1973, Morris Adelman, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), predicted that "if the Arabs don't sell us oil, somebody else will." He was right.
The petrol queues and shortages in America that are now linked in the popular imagination with that period had little to do with the Arab embargo. Jerry Taylor of the Cato Institute argues, correctly, that the shortages were due chiefly to the misguided, anti-market energy policies that had been adopted by America in the years before the embargo.
In 1971, for example, the Nixon administration imposed price controls on the energy industry that prevented oil companies from passing on the full cost of imported oil to consumers. That led directly, and predictably, to the companies making decisions to reduce their imports and to stop supplying independent petrol stations that they did not own.
Congress made the situation worse in September 1973 by trying to allocate oil to various sectors of industry and different parts of the country through bureaucratic fiat. It also tried to force different pricing for "old" oil and "new" oil—a meaningless distinction for a fungible commodity. These measures led (again predictably) to the panic and hoarding that were to blame for those petrol queues. Both Arab producers and American politicians failed in the 1970s to understand the market forces that lie behind the oil business—that is, the power of supply and demand. Happily, there are signs that both are now a bit wiser to the ways of the market.
Siberia to the rescue?
In one sense, the cries of oil scarcity heard three decades ago were certainly wrong: the world is not about to run out of hydrocarbons. Thanks to advances in exploration technology, there are more proven reserves of conventional oil today than there were three decades ago. What is more, even if the stuff starts to grow scarce some decades hence, there are great quantities of unconventional oil (such as Canada's tar sands) still to be extracted.
The astonishing burst of innovation in oil technology was the result of investment by big western oil companies in non-OPEC areas such as Alaska and the North Sea. The development of fields in these regions undoubtedly helped to check the market power of OPEC. Unfortunately for consumers, however, these mature oil sources are about to enter a period of dramatic and irreversible decline. This poses an enormous challenge for the big oil companies, which must somehow replace their lost reserves or see their share prices punished by Wall Street.
In a forthcoming study, the International Energy Agency (IEA), a quasi-governmental group of oil-consuming nations, estimates that the oil industry needs to invest as much as $2.2 trillion over the next 30 years in exploration and production. Much has been made about the soon-to-soar energy needs of fast-developing giants like China and India, but only a quarter of that $2.2 trillion is required to meet growth in oil demand; the rest is needed, the boffins say, merely to replace production that is already in decline or soon to decline. Daniel Yergin of Cambridge Energy Research Associates, an industry consultancy, says: "Every day the head of every major oil company wakes up focusing on how he is going to replace his reserves. The pressure is relentless." If western oil companies do not manage to find new sources of supply, OPEC's market share can only increase—and with increasing market share comes more power.
Where can the companies hope to find new reserves? A glance at the headlines in recent weeks suggests that Siberia is to be the industry's salvation. After a long history of hostility to foreign involvement in energy, it now appears that Russia is putting out the welcome mat. And big oil firms are racing breathlessly across it, given that Russia has the largest reserves of any country outside the Middle East.
BP, which lost $200m in an ill-fated venture with a local company in 1997, appears to have won the first big prize with its new joint-venture with TNK, a big Russian oil firm. Recent rumours suggest that Exxon Mobil and Chevron Texaco may be about to gobble up minority stakes in local firms too. Such acquisitions could be welcomed by YukosSibneft and Lukoil, two of Russia's biggest oil firms. Their owners might be happy to sell now that foreign companies seem eager to pay high prices for businesses such as theirs.
No one swings like the Saudis
If Russia's fickle politics continues to allow foreign investors in, then the big oil companies should be able to replenish their reserves. That does not mean, however, that the West has found an OPEC slayer. One problem is that it costs far more to lift oil out of the tundra than it does from the sands of the Middle East; indeed, it costs barely a dollar a barrel to extract it from the Saudi or Iraqi deserts compared with an average of about $2.5 a barrel in Russia.
Another reason why Russia will not prove the end of OPEC is that it cannot play the role of swing producer. Saudi Arabia maintains a large amount of excess capacity in order to manage prices and cope with disruptions in supply. Because Russia's oil is in private hands, the country will never be able to maintain such a buffer—no company boss could justify such a waste of shareholders' money. Iraq, whose reserves are cheap but not as plentiful as Saudi Arabia's, is unlikely to become a swing producer because its capacity too is limited. Given the dilapidated state of Iraq's infrastructure and the problem of continuing sabotage, few analysts think that its output will rise even to 6m barrels a day (bpd) in less than a decade—let alone to Saudi levels of over 8m bpd.
There is another reason why Russia will never be a proper counterweight to Saudi Arabia. Vahan Zanoyan of PFC Energy, a consultancy, points out that many of the country's ports are frozen for part of the year. Even if the Russians develop idle capacity, it will be of little use if they cannot get the extra output to market quickly. When political turmoil in Nigeria and Venezuela reduced oil exports on the eve of America's invasion of Iraq this year (which in turn led to a halt in Iraq's limited exports) it was the swift release of oil by the Saudis that kept prices from soaring.
Such moves by Saudi Arabia may seem reassuring, but in fact they point to a cause for great concern: the real problem with the supply of oil is its concentration, not its scarcity. Fully 25% of the world's proven reserves of oil sit under the parched deserts of Saudi Arabia. Add in four of the kingdom's neighbours, and the share of the world's oil reserves held by Middle Eastern OPEC countries soars to about two-thirds. It is this immutable fact that gives the cartel, and especially the Saudis, all the aces in the energy game. Russia, by contrast, sits atop barely 5% of the world's reserves. (Iraq controls about 10%.) The Arctic reserves in Alaska, which are at the centre of so much controversy in America, are insignificant in comparison.

This add-on will receive no further regular updates.
This is a simple-ish add-on that allows an admin with permission to manage users & moderators to force a user, or all users to change their password.
This is done via a navigation link for all users, and a link in the Actions drop down of the edit user page in the AdminCP for an individual user.
When a user is forced to change their password, they're redirected to the password change page (account/security) whenever they try and do anything - this is also true for admins on the AdminCP.
This addon creates one additional database on your system.
I have set the minimum XF version to 1.4 as that is the only version I've tested on - it may or may not work on older versions.

Hmmm, I've looked at the Debian experimental package (which is 2.39 - stable works mostly like RHEL, with even stricter policies about version upgrades; unstable and experimental are where all their development happens), but they now switched to building with -m32 like upstream. :-( The patch you used, on the other hand, is outdated, it was for a version before upstream added the -m32, so it doesn't remove the -m32. Try the 64bit-fixes patch in: http://repo.calcforge.org/fedora/9/SRPMS/nsis-2.34-1.src.rpm I also have a patch there to use the RPM_OPT_FLAGS, which is also important, but might need fixing to not try to pass the RPM_OPT_FLAGS to the plugin builds. (As I said, I haven't tried actually building the plugins yet.) Kevin Kofler

What is Formula E?
Formula E is an all-electric racing series, backed by the FIA, which premiered with its first ePrix in Beijing back in 2014. Now in season 3, Formula E races have already taken place in five continents with more unique and interesting cities being added to the schedule every season.
Formula E was initially an idea of FIA's President Jean Todt, and with his contacts book in motorsport, media and business, was picked up by Spanish Businessman Alejandro Agag who turned Todt's vision into a reality. Agag and Formula E Holdings have a ten year contract with the FIA, so we'll be seeing electric street racing on the streets of our cities for at least the next seven years.
Teams and drivers
Right now there are a total of ten teams in Formula E, with each team having two drivers, and each driver, two cars. For anybody familiar with Formula 1, there are some very recognisable names. The legend that is Alain Prost heads up the Championship-winning Renault eDams team, whilst amongst the drivers, names have included Bruno Senna, Nelson Piquet Junior, Lucas Di Grassi, Jacques Villeneuve, Nick Heidfeld and of course current Formula E champion, the Swiss driver Sebastien Buemi.
Other teams involved in Formula E include some of the biggest car manufacturers around – Jaguar, Audi and BMW are all involved. Mercedes have taken an option to be part of the 2018/2019 season, with the potential of more names being added all of the time.
Buemi is already dominating season 3 – but those challenging for the top position include Lucas Di Grassi, Nico Prost, and even the rookie driver, Felix Rosenquist.
Alongside the drivers, the series is not without glamour with top Hollywood actor and environmental campaigner Leonardo DiCaprio being co-owner of the Venturi team, and Sir Richard Branson heading up the DS Virgin team.
The cars
The most outstanding thing about Formula E cars is that they are fully electric. This means no fuel tank, no exhaust pipes, and cars that sound like nothing else in motorsport.
Most components on the cars are standardised across all teams, helping to ensure incredibly close racing. In Formula 1, a team's success or failure to master their aerodynamic package is one of the most important factors determining whether you have a quick car, or a slow one. In Formula E, all of the cars are aerodynamically identical.
The battery that powers the cars is also identical for all teams. Since season 2, the teams have been able to develop their own motor, inverter and gearbox, a set of components often referred to as the "powertrain", to get the most out of the fixed power available. 8 of the 10 teams have chosen to do this, and it's interesting to know that no powertrain is currently the same.
This fierce technological competition between the teams has resulted in efficiencies of over 90 per cent, compared to 25 per cent for a conventional road car with a gasoline engine.
The differences in design strategy are huge and fundamental – over the past two seasons we've seen teams use one motor, two motors, a single gear, two, three, four and even five gears...
So, how quick are the cars? An average Formula E car is able to accelerate from 0–100 km/h in three seconds and to reach a maximum speed of 225 km/h. In fact, the cars could run even faster, but the speed has been capped for safety reasons, as most of the races take place in city centres, with some tight sections and very little runoff.
Street Circuits
For many, the beauty of Formula E is that the majority of the races take place on street circuits around the world. This can often mean tighter tracks, fiercer battles to overtake, and a passionate local crowd only metres away.
Unlike a purpose-built racing circuit, there are bumps in the road, manhole covers, cambers to think about – just a few days before the race, this will have been a busy city centre road.
Also, unlike a racing circuit, there's no run off area in the middle of the city – meaning just one wrong move can end your race. This makes a street circuit a very exciting set up to a racing fan. It also places Formula E right in the heart of some of the globes most exciting cities. For just a few days, the city's streets are taken over by this exciting event.
Practice and qualifying
Formula E is unusual in that practice, qualifying and the race itself all happen on the same day. Free Practice 1 is a 45 minute session at the start of the day when the drivers really start to get to grips with the track.
Although they've practised on the circuit for around 100 hours on their simulators, this is when they really find out about the lumps, bumps, tight corners of the street circuit. Expect twists, turns and smashing into the barriers as we see all the teething problems come to light in this first practice.
There's then one further practice session, Free Practice 2; the drivers last chance to really learn the track before going into qualifying, and to gather as much data as they can for the team.
Then, at midday, it's on to Qualifying. The cars go out in four randomly-selected groups of five cars each. Each group has six minutes on the track. With an out lap and an in lap, this means the drivers really only have one shot at nailing their qualifying lap. One small mistake could wreck months of preparation, so the stakes are high.
For qualifying, the cars are set to the maximum power of 200kW. This is the chance for the driver to set their best lap time.
The five drivers who set the best times in qualifying, then move on to Super Pole, an electric 15 minutes where the drivers go out one by one (with the slowest of the five going first), to set their fastest lap. This often leads to real tension between the two front runners like Lucas Di Grassi and Sebastien Buemi in London at the end of season two.
Not only does this set the formation for the grid, but the pole-sitter also gains an extra 3 vital championship points.
Then it's officially 'Park Fermé' – the cars are back to the pits, and that's it – they've done all they can – now there's just one thing for it – to race.
The race
After qualifying, the starting grid for each race is set. There's no formation lap, so the drivers hurtle towards turn one on cold tyres and cold brakes – always a recipe for first-corner action!
There is no 'typical' Formula E race circuit, as each street circuit is very different from the next, but the races run for around 50 minutes, and the track is normally around 2.5km in length.
The cars are set to a maximum of 170kW power in race mode, although there is an exception to this with the fan boost – more on that later
During each race, the drivers have to swap to their second car – this normally happens between around lap 13-17. Unlike other motorsports, teams are not allowed to change tyres unless they're punctured or damaged. This applies even if it rains – Formula E uses all-weather tyres, so there's no need for intermediates or wets like in other series.
As with any pit stop, drivers practice their car changeover, and there's strategic thinking about when to make this changeover as there is a limit to how much energy the car can carry. Drivers have to ration their energy, and think about when it makes sense to save energy, and when to go for speed. The team is in constant communication with the driver, and the car is sending essential data back to the team.
Unlike other sports, in Formula E, fans can vote for their favourite drivers to have a 'Fan Boost', this is done via social media, and runs in the weeks building up to the race, and during the opening 6 minutes of the race. The 3 drivers who win the fan boost each receive an extra 100kJ of energy to be used in a power window between 180kW and 200kW – this is often used for an essential overtake.
The winner of the race gets 25 points, with the first 10 positions being in the points
There is also an extra point for whoever sets the fastest lap during the race, so there's something to aim for even if you're running below 10th. What we've often seen happen is a driver damage their first car early on, and limp back to the pits to get into their second car. Even though in this situation they simply don't have enough energy to get to the end of the race, there's still a championship point to play for by finding some clean air on circuit and putting in a quick lap.
In fact this is how season 2's title was decided, following an opening-lap crash between Buemi and di Grassi, who were level on points. Both guys limped back to the pits and the title decider became a hot lap shootout between the two for that fastest lap –
great entertainment for us as fans!
Any sport is underpinned by great strategists, and Formula E presents its own unique strategic challenges. Of course, once the cars are built and the season kicks off, race strategy becomes crucial. While complex, Formula E strategy is best thought of in terms of getting the maximum motion from the minimum energy – doing the most with the least. Every driver has to stop at some point during the race, to switch into a fully charged car. This presents opportunities to outwit your rivals...
The most common strategy we see in Formula E is drivers doing everything they can to be able to go a lap longer than their rivals in their first cars, by saving and regenerating as much energy as possible. If you can do this without losing too much time – that means in your second car – you've got to do a lap less. And that means more power, more aggression, more overtaking, and ultimately, more points.
Sustainability and green ambitions
Formula E was set up to help in the fight against climate change, and to improve the quality of the air we all breathe. By being involved with Formula E, car manufacturers have a unique opportunity to really push electric car technology to its limits, and to learn directly from these experiences. This can result in big moves forward for them in their development of their electric road cars. Already, we've seen Formula E teams create stunning, exciting, super-fast fully electric vehicles, changing the whole face of the automotive industry.
But Formula E's commitment to the environment isn't limited to the cars. The whole Formula E event is powered by a largely renewable mix of energy sources. The gaming arena is powered solely by photovoltaic solar panels, and spectators are encouraged to use public transport to and from the races, which is made a lot easier with city centre locations. Even the race calendar is structured to minimise air miles as much as possible.
Alongside being a competitive, exciting racing series, Formula E's main aim is to promote the use of electric vehicles – bringing forward the day when electric cars are the norm on our roads and leading the way towards a cleaner future.

Merry Christmas
25 Dec 2016
Hello everyone and Merry Christmas!! I cannot believe that this day is here, how quickly this month passed and this year also? I know everyone is having a break at the moment and not posting anything, and taking a break from social media etc, but I wanted to write a short post wishing everyone a Happy Christmas and a few quotes I love and try to remember on this special day.

I ♥ dresses & bags - Collaboration with StyleWe
22 Dec 2016
I always had a love for dresses and girly items for as long as I remember myself. When I was a kid, I used to wear dresses all the time and I wouldn't take them off. Even when we played outside or in the park, you would consider I would wear pants or leggings or shorts to be able to play and run easily, but no no no, this girl was wearing dresses and jewellery and holding stylish children's bags 24/7!
Bedside beauty items
19 Dec 2016
Having a few beauty products near my bed makes it easier to reach and use them at night. This is a habit I follow a few months now, I usually used to neglect putting body cream or a hand cream before going to sleep, but now, tired or not, I cannot help it and I always follow this night routine before I hit the sheets.

Ebay wishlist - affordable products I want to buy for winter
13 Dec 2016
Geometric Marble Phone Case - Crystal rhinestone dangle earrings - Rose gold makeup brushes - White unicorn phone case
We are experiencing a heavy winter here and honestly, I am not used to it nor I like it. I don't like to be inside all the time and not be able to do anything. I love the summery hot weather and be outside and enjoy nature (I was born in July so I am a 'summer' person - I don't know if that's a word but I am). And I cannot handle cold. I wear too many layers (sometimes 4 or 5 to keep my body warm) and I look like a snowman.

The perfect red lipstick for Christmas day
7 Dec 2016
Is there a girl out there that doesn't love a red lipstick for Christmas day? Dark or light red, matte or glossy, bright, bold, sheer red, it can be anything, as long as it is red.
I remember many years ago, I did like to wear red lipstick but I was embarrassed to do it. I thought it looked awkward on me but now, there is no day in December that I go without red lipstick. Day, night, afternoon, morning, I will be rocking red lips!

Favourite blogs I read daily
5 Dec 2016
I have been blogging for a year now and I celebrated my blog's birthday a month ago. When I started blogging in November 2015, I didn't know how amazing this community is and how supportive all other bloggers are. When I receive a lovely comment on a post or positive feedback, it means everything. It's like having a friend telling you he is there for you and will support you no matter what.

Hi there, I am getting a few alerts on spiceworks stating:
"Symantec AnitVirus Corporate Edition had > 1 installed"
Symantec has been removed from these pc's manually by following the guide of "www.askdavetaylor.com/how_to_fully_remove_norton_from_pc.html"
I also ran Regcure and ccleaner to remove the left over reg entiries.
However, SW still gives this alert.
What does this mean, does it indicate norton is still installed or something else.
I remove SAV and replaced with MS Forefront.
Please help!!

The first thing I would comment on is this: Get rid of RegCure from your machine immediately!! RegCure is not a reliable tool in my experience (assuming you have already been duped into handing over some money for this terrible product). The company's marketing technique alone is enough to put this software on the "Don't go there" list.
I'm afraid I don't have an answer for your "> 1" issue.
Apr 16, 2009 at 11:44 UTC
Symantec has a program called CleanWipe that completely and totally removes Symantec products. You have to get it from their customer support. I have a copy of it on my key chain and could attach it for you, but I wouldn't trust stuff like that from other people on here. lol. CleanWipe is 3.34mb and the Norton_Removal_Tool application is 978kb.
Apr 17, 2009 at 1:12 UTC
Thanks Chris - regcure seemed promising but ultimately disappointing.
Thanks Siu-AllenK - will give cleanwipe a shot.
Apr 18, 2009 at 2:41 UTC
I tried posting it for you but I keep getting an internal server error. You may have to go through support, or if you want to PM me your email address I can mail it to you.
Apr 20, 2009 at 2:35 UTC
Hi there,
Took SIU-AllenK advise - installed cleanwipe, chose 'yes' to all removal options and still no luck:
ie still getting "Symantec AnitVirus Corporate Edition had > 1 installed" when scanning.
Please does anybody have any thoughs on this one. I searched the PC's folders and reg entries and found no sign of Symantec\Norton.
Please assist
Apr 20, 2009 at 9:48 UTC
Sounds more like a Spiceworks issue at this point. I wonder if it would help to delete the device from Spiceworks and have it re-scan new. Cleanwipe does the job so at this point, I wonder if Spiceworks is caching something somehow.
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.
You may get a better answer to your question by starting a new discussion.
