While it may not be difficult to buy replacement parts for Saturn vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to fix your car or truck. When your Saturn Vue left the factory, it was destined for a driver who wants an American name in their automobile. Obviously, you bought your Vue because you knew that you wanted horsepower and unique styling both impeccably combined into one car, truck, or SUV. Anyone who drives a Saturn knows that when it comes to repairing their automobile only the most superior replacement parts will do.
Multi-speed climate control has been around for decades, and is a convenience we all take for granted. A heater blower resistor gives you the ability to control the level, volume, and speed of the heat and A/C that comes from the vents. Because it is connected directly to the heater switch, your Saturn Vue blower motor resistor modulates the resistance applied to the circuit that handles the load of the blower motor. When you command your Saturn Vue heater to blow on "High", it lowers the resistance so that all the amperage reaches the blower. Conversely, at the lowest blower setting the circuit is running high resistance so fewer amps go to the blower motor.
When your Saturn needs the best replacement Blower Motor Regulator Resistor, there's no need to trust any store other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Bring your Vue back to life with the highest quality replacement parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members here with enough expertise to help you buy the correct Saturn Vue part for your needs. When it comes to Saturn Vue Blower Motor Regulator Resistor parts, you can find them for 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

While David and Victoria Beckham have announced the name of their newborn baby girl, Kate and fiance Matthew Bellamy have yet to decide what name they will give theirs.
Unlike David Beckham and wife Victoria Adams who have named their baby girl Harper Seven, Kate Hudson still has an important decision to make. According to PEOPLE, the "Something Borrowed" actress and her Muse singer fiance, Matthew Bellamy, are still mulling over what to call their newborn baby boy.
The daughter of actress Goldie Hawn, who underwent a Cesarean section to deliver first son Ryder, gave birth to her son with Matthew naturally last Saturday night, July 9 in Los Angeles. The 32-year-old actress is "doing great," the source said before adding that she and her fiance are "beyond thrilled".
Back in January, Kate spilled that her son with ex-husband Chris Robinson was convinced she was pregnant with a girl. During an appearance on Britain's "The Graham Norton Show", she said, "It feels like a girl, but I don't know. Ryder thinks it's a girl."
Speaking about her second pregnancy, the "Bride Wars" actress said in another interview, "This is a totally different pregnancy, completely. It couldn't be more opposite..." She explained, "With Ryder, I didn't even have a nursery. I didn't really have a house until I was seven months pregnant."

Shadow Webbing Technique allows the user to create a gigantic spider-web like thing made out of the shadows. They do this by accumulating together the shadows of themselves, everyone around them, and all the other shadows around them, and fusing them together. Thsi web allows for three distinctive abilities. It first, if the pracitioner is on the ground, allows them to stretch the shadows for a far greater distance than normal. The second enhancement is that the pracitioner can use the Shadow Possession Jutsu on anyone in a circular radius around them without actually having the face them; normally they have to face them in order to do it. The third and final ability only works if the pracitioner is standing in a tree. It allows them to automatically connect their shadows with other threes, in which normally they'd have to stretch them to the ground first, wasting time.

CI Name: PY43
Pigment Name: Natural Hydrated Iron Oxide
Lightfastness: ASTM I - Excellent
Opacity: Semi-Opaque
Grind: Medium
French Yellow Ochre Deep, PY43, is deeper than our other Yellow Ochres. It has that earthy yellow ochre colour but it seems to be trying to disguise itself as Raw Sienna by putting on a more orange hue. Its colour is like caramel while its tint is cream. French Yellow Ochre Deep is not a strong staining colour and tints very lightly but cleanly.
Each colour is ground to enhance the beauty and luminosity specific to that particular pigment. Some colours will feel slightly gritty; others extremely smooth. Pigments are ground in pure, premium, alkali-refined and PH- balanced linseed oil and made in batches no larger than five gallons at a time. This provides total control over the product, much like the late nineteenth-century French colour makers. All the materials are hand measured, and every ounce of paint is scrutinized. The paint is packed in 37 ml and 150 ml non-reactive aluminum tubes. Larger quantities of paint are packed in aluminium cans using only the purest materials.

"We can now say definitely that the series will not be happening inside or outside Zimbabwe."
Howard on Sunday ordered Australian cricketers not to tour the impoverished African nation, saying the presence of the world champions would be used as a propaganda tool to support the rule of "grubby dictator" Robert Mugabe.

I am a graduate student in theoretical physics. My recent research has been in the general area of magnetic spin waves, and more specifically on the self-focusing of these waves. This is a fascinating effect where the energy from an oscillating point source does not go equally in all directions, and instead is focused into certain specific directions. This is known as a caustic (for burning) beam. Even when reflected, this energy follows very specific directions and the incident and reflected angles are not equal. These unconventional angles and patterns intrigue me and I want to better understand this response.

We've been seeing each other for a few weeks now. The other day he told me he's never even been on a date before our first- and he's 24- that's how inexperienced he is. He was pretty embarrassed but I told him not to be. I can believe it cause he does seem very nervous around me when we get close (when holding hands) but overall so far he's been really sweet and kind. And he's cute!
Just a new situation for me. I'm 19 and feels strange having so much more experience when I'm 5 years younger than him. How would you approach this relationship?

Can user edit a submission?Asked by Kelley Montesano on June 19, 2014 at 12:34 PM
We are looking for a form company. We need to be able to edit the results that come in through email. Is this a possibility?
We will be using the forms as a registration for events, sometimes the people signed up with need to cancel or add a person to their registration. Instead of deleting the form and re-entering are we able to just edit it??
Yes it is possible.

Mumbai: A City of Contrasts
This exploration will be conducted with the purpose of investigating the consequences of socio-economic inequality in Mumbai.
"An imbalance between rich and poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all republics."
–Plutarch, ancient Greek biographer (c. 46 – 120 CE)
These aspects will be considered and investigated:
1. What are the aspects that contribute to this socio-economic inequality?
2. What are the inevitable implications of this disparity?
3. What are the government's policies regarding housing in Mumbai? How have they changed over time?
4. How could we improve accessibility and quality of housing options for the poorest urban residents?
5. How could we alleviate this socio-economic inequality?
Below is a video titled: "How economic inequality harms societies", and is a Ted talk by Richard Wilkinson.
Mumbai: An Introduction
Despite not being the Capital city of India, Mumbai holds its place as the most populous city in India, and as the country's financial, commercial and entertainment centre. Lying on India's west coast, Mumbai has a deep natural harbour, and holds the status of a major seaport in the Arabian Sea. The city also happens to be home to the country's television and film industry, widely known as Bollywood.
City Population: 18.4 million estimated, largest city in India. It is projected that by 2020, Mumbai's population will see a sharp increase to 28 million, making it the world's most populous city.
Here are some quick facts:
Mumbai has only 1.1 square meters of open space per person.
'Bombay' actually consists of 7 islands. The space between these islands was reclaimed during a series of landfill projects during the British Colonial era.
Mumbai has the largest number of malls in India.
Mumbai is home to India's first train, bus and aviation systems.
Mumbai's literacy rate is 85.6% (female: 82.7%, male: 90%) compared with India's overall literacy of 65.4%.
Mumbai is responsible for 40% of international cargo, 38% of international air passenger traffic, 26% of domestic traffic and 25% of domestic air passenger traffic in India.
Mumbai ranks as the 4th wealthiest city in Asia, with 28 billionaires, and a combined worth in assets of approximately $97 billion.
Mumbai is home to the largest slum in Asia.
Mumbai is a city of contrasts - where poverty and affluence co-exist.
The stark reality is that 60% of Mumbai residents are living in acute poverty, with over 750,000 people estimated to live in the city's slum district, Dharavi.
Slums generally occur and develop due to hyper-urbanisation. In a mega city like Mumbai, it is seen as a place of new opportunities and of wealth - this results in massive waves of rural-urban migration. Cities are often unable to cope with the swell in population, and the socio-economic consequences of this are evident. Dharavi is full of businesses, religious buildings, and industries - with much of this happening illegally - but in many ways, it is a fully sustainable community. The living conditions in the slums are grave, meaning that the residents suffer from issues such as waste management, the scarcity of sanitary facilities, hygienic conditions and lack of medical care.
Below is a video that presents further insight on Dharavi, the second-largest slum in Asia.
The damaging implications of this socio-economic inequality are most evident in the high mortality rate, low literacy levels, inadequate housing, and lack of access to basic resources and healthcare. The poor are not able to keep up with the rapid growth and high cost of living in Mumbai.
The poor of Mumbai often suffer a sense of discrimination from their richer neighbours. Not only is their access to health care very limited, when seeking out medical care, they are often refused as patients, due to their status. This is a manifestation of socio-economic inequality. The economic conditions of families, as well as the strong Indian caste system exacerbate this disparity, making it increasingly difficult for anyone to break out of the cycle of poverty. The caste system and resulting marginalization and discrimination is simply dismissed as the culture. This is not irreversible, and neither is the Wealth Gap, it just warrants immediate and efficient attention and governance.
Looking to the Future
Redevelopment Scheme:
"Vision Mumbai"
This is a plan to tackle the slowing of economic growth in Mumbai, and to increase the living standards of residents in the city.
The targeted areas include:
- Removing slums
Vision Mumbai aims to remove slums, to sell the land and to implement redevelopment projects. In terms of resettlement, public housing estates for slum residents would be built. Shopping malls, apartment blocks and offices would be built for the middle class.
- Improvements in infrastructure
- Boosting economic growth
- Making governance more efficient
How would this turn out?
As a result, over 900,000 jobs would potentially be created, in the financial, construction, and retail sectors. In so doing, this could potentially alleviate the city's economic inequality to a notable extent. The target areas seem balanced, and the project targets both the poor and the rich, theoretically improving the living standard for all. However, there is one essential issue that is being ignored.
The slums do not simply consist of sprawling, dirty shacks. They are living, breathing, bustling hubs of activity that have been home to generations upon generations of Mumbaikar. The residents built these settlements from the ground, labouring to make a living in the harsh city environment. If the governments remove the slums, they are choosing to remove years of security, culture, and formed identities. After being resettled into apartment blocks, would the residents really be able to sustain themselves and to keep up with the high living costs?
3 ways to alleviate the wealth gap:
1. Increasing the minimum wage.
A minimum wage increase would lift thousands out of poverty. One major factor that contributes to the economic disparity is income inequality. Currently, a minimum wage is not implemented strongly in India. An enforced minimum wage would make a world of difference for many low-income employees, and would not have an overall negative effect on economic growth.
2. Increase taxes
One way of alleviating this economic inequality would be to increase taxes.
3. Encouraging social responsibility
Another potential way to alleviate the economic disparity would be to encourage businesses and landlords to be socially responsible. For example: reducing rents so as not to push out small, independent businesses. This would directly support the needy, and prevent economic monopolisation.
4. Invest in education
Differences and improvements in early education are essential factors that contribute to lasting economic inequalities over time and across generations. To ensure children a consistent and lasting education, is to ensure equal opportunities.

- All children are future DB historians. Welcome to the small crowd of our children and grandchildren that have (or wil have) an appreciation for DB and all artists in general. My granddaughter graduates on June 11th from High School and other than the usual cahiers check, she requested a copy of one of my DB original black/white pieces. She really likes DB. I'm assuming that Asa's picture was posted on Cadia's site? Did Sawtelle show up? I was hoping you two would connect and he would look at the H.A.A and then decide to donate his DB collection there as I will.....tj

Subject: [aloha-donblanding] Baby Asa update
Sorry for the personal nature of the posting, but I figured I ought

to post an updated photo of my son Asa. He is now almost 8 months

old and rules our household with a small iron fist. He is actually

a dream baby and we are truly blessed to have him. Now, if I can

just get him to start collecting pottery...

Not much new to report on that front. A few interesting pieces on

ebay, but mostly all is quiet. Went to many many antique shops in

Atlanta, including two giant malls with several thousand vendors in

each mall and found exactly zero Blanding pieces and only two Vernon

pieces of any kind.

For those interested in non-Blanding pottery, I did find some great

pieces of the Anchor pattern by Tepco and Shenango that were used by

the Navy in WWII while diving on Palmyra Atoll (about 1000 miles

south of Hawaii). The atoll was basically turned into an aircraft

carrier by the Navy and they stationed something like 6000 men there

during the war. Lots of stuff just got bulldozed into the lagoon at

the end of the war and I was amazed when I found numerous pieces of

Tepco and Shenango in the sand (the jumbles of aircraft parts, other

wreckage, and the 100 or so reef sharks made the dives quite

interesting). All in all a great trip to an amazing place and to

find pottery just made it all the more special.

Aloha, Michael

In terms of Smallville, I can't wait for the Booster episode. Booster Gold is a great superhero, especially along Blue Beetle. I also can't wait to finally see a episode where Clark finally assumes his mild-mannered disguise. I think I'll be posting my rambling speculation and theories later on on this Blog. However the Blue Beetle armor looks so terribly bulky. I hope Geoff Johns is right and it gets better. This also seems to be the first live-action appearance of both Booster Gold and Blue Beetle. I could be wrong but I'll check it out later.
Anyway personally, I've been re-watching episodes of The Big Bang Theory and I have to say it's a hilarious series. Anyone with any free-time should watch at least in episode. If anyone's curious here's a quick clip of a funny scene involving a Batman gag.

The latest nightly build of Firefox 3 has a nice new feature that the eye-candy lovers out there will like. In Firefox when you open too many tabs they overflow and scrollers on each end of the Tab Bar appear. That way you can navigate between all of your tabs without having them shrink down to the size of a pea.
Firefox 3 is looking to spruce that feature up a bit my animating the scrolling motion so that it isn't so choppy. It's a little hard to explain so I threw together a quick video to demonstrate the new feature:
You'll also notice at the end of the video I demonstrate the new resizable toolbar elements.
I think that this is a pretty cool feature, but it is of little use to me. Don't get me wrong…I'm a sucker for eye candy, but I actually modify Firefox so that it almost never scrolls my tabs. I'd honestly rather see tabs that are super small than have to scroll to find what I'm looking for.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/4/2012 (1960 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Sunday, April 8
MOON ALERT We have the all clear to shop and make important decisions. The moon is in Scorpio.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
It's your nature to be generous. However, you might be unsure as to where to draw the line. Something could prompt you to give away more than your fair share. Make sure you're comfortable with whatever you do.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
This is a lovely day to shmooze! Make plans to enjoy yourself. There's an element of hedonism to this day and Lord knows you are someone who enjoys good food, good drink, good sex and a wonderful home. You might overdo something. (Ya think?)
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
This is a fun-loving, playful day, but it's also possible to be excessive, especially eating and drinking. Or you might go overboard with sweets. (Why is it that all the fun stuff is unhealthy?) Just keep this in mind while you enjoy your day.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
Today you'll enjoy sports, parties, social diversions and playful times with kids. Romance will be upbeat and fun. But you might overdo something. Just keep this in mind so that you don't tarnish what can be a great time.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
You are an incredible host. Nothing is too much trouble when you invite people to your home. You'll go into debt to lavish luxury on your guests. Keep this in mind today because you might be a tad too lavish. Easy does it.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You'll enjoy talking to others today. You'll also enjoy exploring new places and taking short trips. But you can't do it all. Therefore, be careful that you don't overbook and end up with too much on your plate.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Because you are so affected by your surroundings (and of course, you love beautiful things) you like to buy little goodies that will make your surroundings more elegant. And why not? Nevertheless, don't go overboard and face an exorbitant bill.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You don't feel like working today. Even if you have a To Do list -- don't kid yourself. In fact, just let yourself off the hook right off the bat. Enjoy fun times with others. This is the perfect Sunday to kick back and relax. It's junk food time!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You are of two minds today. One mind wants to spring out of bed and do what you're "supposed" to do. But the other mind is not on the same page. Oh no! It wants to play! You can have an internal quarrel back and forth in your mind or just give up now and enjoy your day.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
If you're involved with groups today, be careful you don't agree to something that you will later regret. Don't volunteer to have the whole team over for dinner. Guard against one of those things that seem to be a good idea at the time, but not later. Aagghh.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Don't knock yourself out trying to please authority figures today. No big deal. Just please yourself. If you please yourself, you'll please others about 70 per cent of the time and that's good enough. After all, you count, too. And do not make big promises to anyone! (You have been warned.)
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
You're excited about big plans regarding travel, higher education, publishing, the media, the law and medicine. You're full of big ideas! This is good. You might want to think before you act because perhaps your reach exceeds its grasp?
Former U.S. first lady/founder of alcohol and drug treatment centre Betty Ford (1918-2011) shares your birthday. You have strong humanitarian impulses. You want to make the world a better place, especially for those who are disadvantaged. Many times, you will put the needs of others before your own. Needless to say, you will fight for the underdog! You always want to further the common good. Your year ahead will have a strong focus on partnerships and close friendships.

: Samantha Moore has always hidden behind the words of others-namely her favorite characters in literature. Now, she will learn to write her own story-by giving that story to a complete stranger.
Growing up orphaned and alone, Sam found her best friends in the works of Austen, Dickens, and the Brontë sisters. The problem is that she now relates to others more comfortably as Elizabeth Bennet and Jane Eyre than as herself.
Sometimes we lose ourselves in the things we care about most.
But life for this twenty-three-year-old is about to get stranger than fiction, when an anonymous benefactor (calling himself "Mr. Knightley") offers to put Sam through the prestigious Medill School of Journalism. There is only one catch: Sam must write frequent letters to the mysterious donor, detailing her progress.
As Sam's program and peers force her to confront her past, she finds safety in her increasingly personal letters to Mr. Knightley. And when Sam meets eligible, best-selling novelist Alex Powell, those letters unfold a story of love and literature that feels as if it's pulled from her favorite books. But when secrets come to light, Sam is --- once again --- made painfully aware of how easily trust can be broken.
This would be a great story for young co-eds to read, or older teens, as Sam's journey (via the letters she writes) would serve as a example of seizing opportunities and becoming the person you are meant to become, whether you realize it or not! It's an easy afternoon read, and perfect for reading by the fire in the afternoon! Warning- I think if you like Austen's work, you'll really like this book, if you're so so on her books, then this book may give you the same emotion. Coeds might enjoy comparing it to the Austen classic it's based on, and I can see a college course using it as a modern retelling and having students writing short papers on whether the modernatization is great or not.

Modern Italy as a unified state only existed from 1861. By this time France, Spain, Portugal, Britain, and the Netherlands, had already carved out large empires over several hundred years. Italy had arrived late to the colonial race, and its relative weakness in international affairs meant that it was dependent on the acquiescence of Britain, France and Germany toward its empire-building. One of the last remaining areas open to colonization was on the African continent.
By the outbreak of World War I in 1915, Italy had annexed Eritrea and Somalia, and had wrested control of portions of the Ottoman Empire (Libya and Dodecanese), though it was defeated in its attempt to conquer Ethiopia.
Under Fascist Italy (from colonies to provinces)
Before the fascist takeover of 1923, there was a lack of interest on the African colonies. They were considered the spoils of war and a symbols of Italy has a colonial power and great power in Europe. Under the fascist government, it was urged that Italy needed an outlet for its "surplus population", and that it would therefore be in the best of interests to aid in this expansion. During the 1930s, emigration to the colonies was encouraged due to a belief that Italy was suffering from "excess population". Most went to Libya, primarily concentrated in the coastal cities of Tripoli and Benghazi. The coastline of Libya was referred to as Italy's "Fourth Shore" (quarta sponda). There was emigration to Italian East Africa as well. Farming villages where built in Libya, Eritrea and Italian Somalia for colonist. The native population was forced to settle in urban centers, new villages or agricultural villages.
Extensive programs of progressive improvement included new paved roads, railroads, airports, hospitals, hotels, dozens of post offices, telephone exchanges, aqueducts, schools, and shops. Most of the economic development of Italy was the result of investments in the colonies.
In 1934, Libyans where given individual freedoms, inviolability of home and property, right to join the military or civil administrations, and the right to freely pursue a career or employment were guaranteed to Libyan. Followed by laws that allowed Muslims to be permitted to join the National Fascist Party and in particular the Muslim Association of the Lictor (Associazione Musulmana del Littorio). Later reforms allowed the creation of Libyan military units within the Italian army. Same laws and ordinances where applied to Eritrea and Italian Somalia.
Its culmination was the enactment by the Italian Social Republic (RSI) of the law on overseas provinces of Africa that made Libya, Eritrea and Somalia part of Italy has provinces. All indigenous Libyans were granted an Italian Special citizenship (Cittadinanza Italiana Speciale) and confined this type of citizenship to be valid in Libya and later rest of the Italian overseas territories.
Rebellion and Republic
The dark side of this was the constant rebellion in rural areas, specially in Libya and Italian Somalia. Besides the authoritarian framework to silence opposition of any form from Italians or Libyans.
The fall of the RSI, was marked by a series of native protest in Tripoli, Benghazi, and Cyrene, demanding end of war, full citizenship and political rights, abolition of mandatory military service, end of native pacification, along measures to deal with chronic economic crisis and failure of crops. The protesters rallied under the call of We are Italians!. The following week they spread to Asmara and Mogadishu. They were joined by a growing number of colonists demanding democracy and the end of fascists regime and Third Balkan War. Police and military repression were ordered, however some commanding army officers rebelled and took over the Governors Generals in a series of coups.
In Italy, despite censorship, it was filtered news of the rebellion. Soon strikes and mass demonstrations, along the burning of party and secret police buildings, started in Milan, Turin and Genoa, spreading to the rest of Northern Italy. These events marked the beginning of the Democratic Revolution that overthrew the RSI.
The Italian colonies where under the direction and administration of the Ministry of Colonies. After their full annexation by the RSI, the administration was in charge of the Ministry of African Affairs. Under the Italian Republic, the African regions are part of Italy and have the same organization has mainland (communes, provinces and regions).
Migration and colonization are in charge of the Public Entity for the Development of North Africa and the Corporation for the Colonization of East Africa.
Italy has the following territories in Africa and Europe:
|Colony (Kingdom of Italy) / Overseas Province (RSI) / Overseas Region (Italian Republic)
|Area (Km²)
|Population (in million)
|Italian Tripolitania
|Italian (de facto official) and Arabic
|united as Italian Libya (1934)

Alexandrina Council votes to join World Heritage Bid
Alexandrina Council has voted to join the Barossa, Adelaide Hills, Mount Barker and Onkaparinga Councils in their bid to pursue World Heritage listing of the agricultural areas of the Mount Lofty Ranges. The council's participation will be formalised over the next couple of months.
The bid spans the world-renowned food, wine and tourism regions of the Barossa Valley, the Adelaide Hills, McLaren Vale and the Fleurieu. The five councils will first of all collaborate to pursue National Heritage listing of the agricultural landscapes, before lobbying the Australian government to pursue World Heritage listing.
UNESCO's World Heritage list seeks to identify, protect and promote cultural and natural heritage of outstanding value to humanity. The bid consortium is pursuing listing for values associated with South Australia's ground-breaking model of colonisation developed by Edward Gibbon Wakefield, John Stuart Mill, Jeremy Bentham and other influential 19th century thinkers. The Mount Lofty Ranges' links to this unique philosophical movement, and the continuing reflection of utopian ideals in the contemporary landscape form the basis of the bid. UNESCO listing does not turn the area into a museum but protects and promotes it as a working, evolving landscape under local planning control.
Project steering group chair and Adelaide Hills Council Mayor Bill Spragg believes the participation of Alexandrina Council will add strength to the bid, and help leverage economic benefits for farmers, producers and tourism operators across the entire region:
"World Heritage listing represents the single biggest global branding opportunity we will ever have", he says. "It is a pro-growth strategy that enables farmers, food and beverage processors and tourist businesses to market the region and brand its produce as coming from a World Heritage area."
According to Mayor Spragg, the value of pursuing UNESCO listing is unlocked not only by the designation itself, but by the motivation and coordinated action of local stakeholders to make the bid work:
"The bid process will catalyse and unify discussion of issues vital to the future of the region, such as sustainable farming and maintaining and enhancing our clean and green environment, as well as cultivating a sense of place, identity and community."
The consortium is currently inviting Expressions of Interest from members of the public to serve on expert advisory groups over the next few years. For more information, or interviews with members of the bid consortium please contact Project Manager Stephanie Johnston on 0400 738 844 and [email protected], or go to www.mountloftyranges.org.

text: I'm back...after what seems like a very long time! Actually I was busy running a big Pet Fair that we had at the LW Emporium. If you want something to gobble up your free time, try running one....it's amazing.....fun and amazing! I can't believe all the details that crop up in the processing of this kind of event! Sign painting, advertising, passing out posters to Veterinarians and pet stores, calling pet rescue groups, vendors with pet related items, hot dog people, and then marking out all the spaces, getting ads and free community notices in on time to the newspapers, tv and radio stations, blowing up baloons,,etc,....etc......you get the picture...and after it was all over, you have to do everything all over again in reverse! Take down the signs and balloons, write thank you letters to all the vendors and animal rescue people, gather the earnings to present to the dedicated animal shelter and arrange for a time when all could gather for a happy picture! Was it all worth it? Oh yes, it was.. Everyone had a great time and are asking for another next year! Not to boast ,but we did a pretty good job and some lucky animals at the Cracker Box Palace will have food for awhile longer because of the fair...very worth it! I just want to apologize and explain why I was gone so long...and thank you Janine for your note which shook me out of my euphoric high flying animal party! Check out the pictures.

Communication, consensus and order. Who wants to speak first?
Parikh and Krasucki [R. Parikh, P. Krasucki, Communication, consensus and knowledge, J. Econ. Theory 52 (1990) 178-189] show that, in a group of rational agents, communication of the value of a function f leads to a consensus on the value of f, provided some conditions on the communication protocol and the function f hold. In this article, we address the issue of the influence of the protocol on the outcome of the communication process, when agents value information positively. We show that, if it is common knowledge in a group of agents that some of them disagree on two protocols, then the consensus value of f must be the same for both protocols.

text: As evidence emerges that the death of Chris Cornell — the lead singer of Soundgarden and Audioslave — was found dead in Detroit, MI as a result of an apparent suicide, it's necessary — as part of the increasing salvo against the blow of this great singer's loss — to remember, not how he died, but how he lived. In his lifetime, Cornell earned a great deal of both respect and accolades during his tenure with these two influential bands. To say that his loss is devastating to the rock community — and to the music community at large — is an understatement. Let's take a look at some of the greatest hits of both Soundgarden and Audioslave, Cornell's two defining bands. Soundgarden, "Outshined" In 1991, Chris Cornell — as the frontman of Soundgarden — released "Outshined," which quickly got traction on both modern rock radio and MTV. Rolling Stone points out that Cornell was getting more "introspective" with his lyrics at the time this song was released, and that the song not only brought the band into the rock zeitgeist, but inspired the 1996 film, Feeling Minnesota, with Keanu Reeves in the title role. "That looking inward helped lead him to start writing songs differently for the band's third record. "I've never really been biographical in my lyrics," Cornell said while warming up for a show opening for Guns N' Roses at Madison Square Garden in 1992, "so when I wrote a line like 'I'm looking California and feeling Minnesota' from 'Outshined,' it just felt refreshing." Much thanks to Kansas City Mo and all of our friends there for blowing it up! @soundgarden 2017 pic.twitter.com/XOQgCKlub7 — Chris Cornell (@chriscornell) May 16, 2017 Audioslave, "Gasoline" After Soundgarden broke up, Chris Cornell teamed up with members of Rage Against the Machine to create Audioslave, and the sound they created — while featuring the influence of both bands — had a sound all their own. At the time of its release, Modern Rock Review gave "Gasoline" — one of the songs off of their self-titled debut album — especially rave reviews, and for good reason. ""Gasoline" is driven by Commerford's bass line and an almost synth sounding guitar effect during the verses. The song's title and theme seems to be an alternate and more raw take on "burning the midnight oil" and the track has an interesting bridge and solo section, which plays with dynamics and production techniques." Great night in #Indianapolis staving off the thunderstorms with help from badass crowd! ⛈ pic.twitter.com/0cZLiMQ6VM — Chris Cornell (@chriscornell) May 11, 2017 "The Promise" — A Solo Effort in a Class All Its Own In addition to his work with Audioslave and Soundgarden, Chris Cornell had a solo career that was unparalleled. In addition to providing singles for the hit Cameron Crowe movie, Singles, Cornell did an exclusive song for the hit film, The Promise, starring Christian Bale, Oscar Isaac, and Charlotte LeBon. The film, which is about the Armenian genocide, benefited greatly from Cornell's gorgeous project. According to Loudwire, the film would have been a completely different one without the song, and even without the benefit of the film, Cornell's voice rings brilliantly. "Cornell's penchant for conveying heart-wrenching emotion through gentle acoustic pieces is well-documented over the course of his career and "The Promise" holds true to this value. The first verse opens with the lines, "If I had nothing to my name / But photographs of you rescued from the flame / That is all I would ever need / As long as I can read what's written on your face / The strength that shines behind your eyes / The hope and light that will never die," before the singer launches into a powerful, lush chorus." The loss of the Soundgarden and Audioslave frontman is, in short, a devastating one. Our thoughts and prayers are with the members of Soundgarden and Audioslave, and with the Cornell family, at this difficult time. [Featured Image by by Kevin Winter/Getty Images for CBS Radio]

Russia has more proven natural gas reserves than any other country, is among the top ten in proven oil reserves, and is the largest exporter of natural gas and oil. The inflow from the oil and gas industry accounts for over a third of Russian federal budget revenues, and oil and gas production remains one of the leading sectors of the Russian economy.
Lately, a strong emphasis has been made on the necessity to develop the Russian oil and gas refining and petrochemical industry, which is expected to reduce the dependency of Russian economy on world prices on raw oil and gas. The plan is to not only fully employ existent domestic refining capacities, but to gradually build up and upgrade existing refineries and build new ones.
The report below describes the Russian market of equipment for the oil and gas industry, its current trends, and the opportunities it presents for U.S. equipment manufacturers.
Market Data
The steep decline in global oil prices and the decrease in purchasing capacity of consumers of oil and gas products that took place in late 2008-2009 could not but affect the status of the Russian oil and gas industry. However, with oil prices going up again and Russian tax policy changing in favor of oil producers, it did not take the Russian oil and gas sector long to recover. In 2010, Russia was producing more oil than traditional world leader Saudi Arabia, which had reined in output to comply with OPEC cuts.
The Russian oil and gas market reached its maturity several years ago, when the giant companies Gazprom, Rosneft, Lukoil, TNK-BP and Surgutneftegaz acquired most of their smaller competitors. This was also the point when a market for independent companies offering field services and equipment started to emerge. Initially, most of key players in the Russian market of services for the oil and gas industry were represented either by branches of big international companies or by local companies established on the basis of servicing departments of oil/gas companies. As this segment of the Russian market continues to develop and consolidate, most of the international servicing companies that were initially present in Russia are retaining their position, but are experiencing increasing competition from their local counterparts.
In the years preceding the world economic crisis, the largest Russian oil companies had been increasing their expenditure on infrastructure development, equipment purchase/repair and services. In 2008, the market for services and equipment for the oil and gas sector was estimated at about $18 billion, with approximately equal market shares for services and equipment. However, due to the economic crisis, 2009 showed a 30 to 40 percent decline. By now, the volume of services and equipment for the oil and gas industry returned to its pre-crisis level.
As the country's economy has recovered after the world economic crisis, major oil and gas development projects long underway in the Yamal Peninsula, Sakhalin, the Timan-Pechora areas in Western Siberia and the Arctic shelf, as well as new projects in Eastern Siberia, which are already yielding generous outcomes, generate need in technological upgrades as well as construction, infrastructure and other services for oil and gasfield development. In the LNG segment, Gazprom has chosen France's Total and Norway's StatoilHydro as its partners to develop the $20 billion Shtokman gasfield, and works with TNK-BP to develop the Kovykta gasfield. In August 2011, the Russian Government signed an agreement with Exxon Mobil to explore for oil in the Russian Arctic region. Specifically, the Kara Sea, the body of water between the northern coast of European Russia and the Novaya Zemlya island chain.
In addition, Russia remains one of the few regions that continues to look at major investment programs in the downstream sector. A reason for this trend is the relatively small investments made in the sector over the past decades.
As of today, Russia counts 30 major oil refineries with a total capacity of 261.6 million tons, and about 80 mini-refineries with a total processing capacity of 11.3 million tons. In 2010, Russian refining industry produced 36 million tons of gasoline, 70 million tons of diesel fuel, and 82 million tons of fuel oil. Most of Russian oil refineries were built in the two postwar decades: 16 plants, which is more than a half of the active to date in Russia, were commissioned in 1945-1965. Only two refineries with the total capacity of about 3.5 million tons were launched in Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Thus, overall, plants built during the Soviet time are currently processing (?)about 98% of the oil, and until recently, only few of them had gone through significant technological upgrade. It is not surprising therefore, that experts unanimously admit a high wear-out coefficient (60-75%) and technological backwardness of Russian refining industry. Despite certain positive changes that have taken place recently, the quality of the product leaves much to be desired and the average depth of oil refining is still extremely low, under 70%. In addition, the hydroskimming capacity of Russian refining industry exceeds its capacity to produce refined petroleum products, which is explained by the fact that the Soviet oil refining industry was focused on the production of diesel fuel and fuel oil, while demand for gasoline was relatively low. Today, this leads to the situation when companies produce more low quality petroleum half-stuff than they can process to the finished product level, and therefore, often have to export semi-finished product at discounted price.
According to the Russian Ministry of Energy, $19 Billion will be invested in the modernization of Russian oil refining Industry within the period of 2011-2015.
Best Prospects
Oil and gasfield machinery as well as exploration and field management services are expected to retain their positions as the primary U.S. exports to Russia. Over the past several years, there has been a growing demand for well optimization, horizontal drilling, hydro-fracturing equipment and services, offshore development technologies and equipment, work-over, drilling and well tools and products, and idle well re-commissioning services. Effective low-cost solutions for the rehabilitation/reconditioning of existing equipment and infrastructure are expected to be in higher demand than ever before due to the decline of numerous oilfields in the Eastern Siberia.
Technological solutions for the petrochemical and refining industry are another, emerging best prospect area for U.S. companies. The ban on production of Euro-2 fuel, originally scheduled for December 31, 2010, has been postponed twice by now, because most Russian refineries failed to upgrade their facilities to the level necessary for the production of Euro-3 fuel. At the request of Russian refining companies, the government is likely to postpone the introduction of Euro-3 fuel emission standards until 2013, to be followed by the introduction of Euro-4 in 2014 and Euro-5 in 2015. This decision will be tied to the obligation imposed on all major refining companies to upgrade their facilities in order to comply with new requirements. This, as well as the ambition of certain Russian petroleum producers to export more refined products to the international marketplace will inevitably require intensive modernization and capacity increase of existing refining facilities.
Key Suppliers
Purchasing policies of major oil companies are very much politically determined. According to existing regulations, companies are obliged to give preference to locally manufactured products. Only the technology and equipment of the kind that is not produced in Russia can be purchased from foreign suppliers. The situation is somewhat more favorable in the area of off-shore production: Up to 40% of equipment used off-shore can be manufactured outside Russia.
There is also an economic reason for companies to choose Russian products: While the quality and performance of locally produced equipment is frequently below that of cutting-edge Western equipment, Russian equipment generally enjoys a substantial price advantage over Western and Asian competition. The incentive to buy Russian equipment based solely on price at first glance can appear strong, especially when local products are compared to Western analogs on case-to-case basis. Price advantage of Russian products is particularly evident in the transportation and pipeline segments.
Therefore, even though Russian customers often indicate displeasure with factors beyond sale price, such as poor quality control, technological backwardness and lack of reliability of locally manufactured equipment, as well as refusal of suppliers to offer adequate servicing provisions, locally manufactured equipment is given preference whenever it is possible.
Competition among importers has intensified as well, as evidenced by an increase in the number of tenders. Chinese companies, traditionally perceived as low-quality, low-cost suppliers, are working to improve their reputation and be seen as reliable suppliers of satisfactory quality products at competitive prices. Chinese government subsidies support Chinese equipment exports to Russia and help strengthen the position of China's manufacturers in the market. Many Western manufacturers that ventured into Russia at earlier stages, successfully managed the market's uncertainty and instability, and have seen their products accepted by the local industry, are now reaping the benefits in the form of a good reputation and a well-established market position. They offer quality, modern equipment and are intense competitors.
In the area of project management, Western engineering firms are generally well-regarded in Russia for their greater flexibility than that of their Russian counterparts. According to Russian sources, Western firms normally do not require blueprints from their customers, and often can offer equipment which is more readily available.

Help Needed For A Little Girl's Cake, Who Wants It Pink But With No Frosting/fondant. How Else Can I Make It Look Pretty?
Decorating By newbeeatcakes Updated 13 Jun 2016 , 9:46pm by newbeeatcakes
I have been planning ambitious cakes for my little girl's 3rd birthday, but she decided to throw me into a spin. She wants a 'pink cake' but she doesn't want any frosting/ganache/fondant etc. I could bake a plain pink colored cake, but that would be no fun for a birthday surprise. Help needed with decoration ideas please. Thanks in advance!
Bake her a pink cake and decorate it with candy melts or cake ball mix pressed into molds. I realize that you'd be adding icing into the cake ball mixture, but will she? Use various shades of pink and/or mix with white. I think you can still make her smile. How about decorating it with pink plastic strings of beads and perhaps ribbons and barrettes and then use them as favors for her guests.
You could do the pink ombre naked cake if you're feeling patient. Here's a link, I've seen a bunch of them and I have one coming up on my schedule soon: http://www.athomeinlove.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/ombre-naked-cake.jpg
Thank you for all the ideas. Do you happen to have pictures for any of these ideas? It will help me to better visualize them.
This looks really cute :) Thank you.
there's a lot of these -- could combine with a cake too -- I'd go with strawberry rather than use food color -- just a thought
That is the first time I have heard of a child who does not like frosting!! Wow!! To each his/her own. I love a bite of frosting with cake mixed in.
The watermelon cake was pretty awesome for people who would rather have fruits. I really loved that!!!
Thanks, this gives me a decoration idea.
Haha, true! Unfortunately that's the case with my little one. I also liked the idea of an ombre cake.
Thanks to everyone for the tips,

But anyways, let your ears take a listen as they STILL work through the kinks and some severe rust. And as always, don't forget to expect more unpreparedness, getting off topic, saying names incorrectly and constantly saying "um", "yeah" and "ya know" between sentences. But don't let that scare you. You should still listen and laugh with them or at them.
