There are many accents that come out of different regions of this great country. There's the southern drawl, the Minnesota nice, and the Valley Girl, but few are as mind-numbingly hard to listen to than that of South Boston. It's hard to imagine that anyone with that inflection can listen to themselves without thinking, "I should really consult a speech therapist." That said, between The Departed, Gone Baby Gone and Mystic River, there are plenty of movies that have used the accent wonderfully. Tony Goldwyn's Conviction will try and reach those ranks.
Apple has premiered the first trailer for the film starring Hillary Swank, Sam Rockwell, Melissa Leo and Minnie Driver, and while the film looks like typical Oscar-bait, it also appears to have gotten some tremendous performances. Based on a true story, Swank plays Betty Anne Waters, a woman who sees her brother get a life sentence for a crime he didn't commit. Instead of just visiting him and trying to find a lawyer who could help him, she decides to go it herself, getting her GED and going to law school so that she can fight for him herself.

Based in London's Vauxhall, content and social agency Mediablaze employs around 20 full-time staff working with a range of high profile clients across the technology and lifestyle sector. The agency specializes in content creation, publishing and social marketing and has completed several successful projects for big name brands such as LG, Panasonic, Spotify and Tesco.
As a content agency for the social media age, the company has to deliver seamless and engaging presentations to its clients. The latest technological advances play a vital role in the agency's meeting room performance and the recent addition of Barco's new ClickShare wireless presentation system has helped to create a higher level of collaboration.
Installed in the boardroom at Mediablaze, the ClickShare unit enables the employees to use their Mac laptops to share information and ideas on an ad hoc basis, increasing spontaneity and speeding up the meeting process.
Michael Brook, Group Editorial Director at Mediablaze Group Limited, says: "The ClickShare system has allowed us to use new types of devices in meetings and to greatly improve efficiency. Before, we would need to connect individually via cables, now we can connect multiple machines wirelessly.
"It has made sharing information in meetings a seamless experience. Prior to introducing ClickShare, individuals would have to stop and connect, which caused everything to grind to a halt when they were taking over a screen. Now we can just beam content from multiple computers on to our shared TV screen."
One feature of ClickShare that has been welcomed by Mediablaze employees is the tactile nature of the buttons that are used to take over the screen, as well as the robustness of the unit itself.
Brook continues: "The collaboration tool makes presenting ideas from multiple people so easy, it really reduces in-meeting downtime and means that the team can just concentrate on being creative."

Using the crowdfunding website, Pozible, the Australian Design Alliance (AdA) has launched a national fundraising campaign to raise money to create a national design policy.
The Australian Design Alliance (AdA) is the alliance of peak professional organisations that represent designers across all aspects of Australia's design industry. The AdA is a not for profit industry alliance and its primary goal is to promote the use of design to boost Australia's productivity, sustainability and innovation.
Visit the AdA's Pozible page here to find more information or pledge your support. The organisation hopes to raise a minimum of $15,000. The AdA is lean operation, with a volunteer Board and a part time Executive Director. With the money raised the AdA will be able to undertake the research needed to strengthen their case, as well as be able to spend more time influencing political leaders and step up its communications strategy to showcase the work of Australian designers in all their guises.
Various high profile designers and industry leaders are behind the project including Professor Roy Green, Dean of the UTS Business School and a member of the Prime Minister's Manufacturing Taskforce: "In advanced high cost economies, future competitive advantage will increasingly be based on the intangible value of design and innovation, which enables firms to differentiate their products and services. The question is not whether Australia can afford to invest in design, but whether we can afford not to," says Green. "With trade-exposed industries such as manufacturing and tourism under severe pressure, Australia's creative talent in design should become a key source of our uniqueness in global markets and value chains."
Designer Liane Rossler agrees: "Australian designers are leading the way in creativity, sustainability and innovation. A national design policy would help to give designers recognition and respect and enable them to reach new heights. Please support the AdA in this important campaign for Australian design," says Rossler.
The AdA's vision is to develop a culture of design in Australia to strengthen economic competitiveness, innovation, creativity and sustainability. Its mission is to achieve greater recognition and valuing of Australian design by governments, business and community, plus greater innovation and collaboration within the design sector together with the application of strategic design approaches across all sectors.

" Brand: Jelly Belly / Type: Candle / Category: Home Fragrance "
* Prices may differ from that shown
I actually got this as a free gift when I last placed an order on www.very.co.uk You didnt get a choice of scents but I love scented candles and I had seen this range about for a while but had yet to try them so I was keen to give them a try. When the candle arrived I saw that I had been sent Very Cherry. Fruity fragrances are almost always my first choice but cherry isnt one of my favourite scents however I was still keen to try it.
I could smell the candle through the tin which was promising as I love a candle to fragrance my entire room when used. I liked the tin design and thought it was quite different to most of the candles I have at home as most of these are jar candles.
The candle is approximately 3 inches wide at its widest point and two inches tall. The tins lid is easy to pull off and the design of the jar is pretty with lots of different jelly belly jelly beans on and it looks bright and fun.
Inside, the candle is a deep red. You can immediately smell the candle and the wick is thick at around 3mm. I lit the wick and was pleased with how well it began to burn as it didnt start to curl over or burn unevenly.
The scent that filled the room was rich and fruity. It had a strong cherry scent and it was really nice and heavily scented. I burned the candle for about 3 hours. After I blew out the candle I could still scent the fruity scent for a good couple of hours. I was really pleased with how small of a 'dent' this burn time took from my candle and it has burned evenly too. There was no burn time on the tin but I imagine it would burn for at least 30 hours, maybe even 50.
I like this candle and I think it is brilliant quality. I will definitely be looking out for more from the range.
I first came across the Jelly Belly range of candles and diffusers quite a while ago now and I have since tried all of the different mouth-wateringly delicious fragrances.
Jelly Belly state that their candles are 'the delicious flavours of Jelly Belly jelly beans in candle form'. There are 8 fragrances to choose from, including bubblegum, blueberry, coconut and apple. I love all of the different scents so it's hard to choose a favourite, but 'very cherry' is one that I re-purchase the most often as it has such a yummy, versatile scent. Plus, this isn't quite as overpoweringly sweet and girly as some of the other fragrances in the Jelly Belly range are, so my boyfriend doesn't complain too much that it makes the house smell like a perfume/sweet shop!
I usually buy my Jelly Belly candles from Topshop, but a wide range of other shops including Debenhams, John Lewis and Amazon sell them too. Prices vary depending on where you buy it from and the size of the candle as two different sizes are available and I buy the small version which comes in a tin. This retails at around £5.00 which I feel is a reasonable price considering the burn time and the gorgeous scent. A larger version which has double the burn time is also available and this retails at around £13.00.
The candle comes in a medium sized jar which I find really cute. The jar is made of quite a thin but sturdy metal and it is white with various pictures of different coloured jelly beans all over it. The name of the fragrance is written clearly on the front of the jar and underneath this it simply says 'highly fragranced candle'. Underneath the jar there's a little label with informaton on it including the burn time (16 hours) and brief safety warnings. The jar has a red lid which is very secure and I find it quite awkward to remove - I usually resort to prising it off with my nails. As soon as the lid is off the gorgeous smell begins to escape and I usually have a good sniff before I light it - it smells amazing, lol!
The candle itself is a dark red and it fills most of the jar, so you do get a reasonably good sized candle for the money. The long, thick wick is very sturdy and easy to light with a match or lighter. The strong (but not overpoweringly strong) smell begins to fill the room almost as soon as the wick is lit and within five minutes I am able to smell the scent in my living room, kitchen and generally most of the downstairs of my house. I usually light this in my open plan living room diner after I've cooked and we've eaten as it does such a great job of covering up the smell of food. I especially like lighting this in the evenings as it's a warm and homely scent in my opinion and it makes me feel quite comforted and relaxed. When I first tried this I found it quite overpowering but I soon got used to it and I find the strength pretty much perfect now - it's not at all weak but not migraine inducingly strong!
I was expecting this to smell quite natural and fruity but it's quite artificial smelling and while it does smell like cherries it is not a fruity smell - more of a sugarry, sweet shop smell. The smell is quite girly, however when compared to the bubblegum scent it is very subtle!! My boyfriend quite likes this as far as I'm aware and I've had several compliments from guests on the smell of my home while this has been burning. After the candle is blown out the smell lingers for a good hour or so which is the perfect amount of time in my opinion. I usually light this for 2-3 hours a day and after around a week the whole of the middle has melted leaving just the wick and a bit of wax on the sides. I feel that this is a decent amount of time considering the price and I also like that the little jar that it comes in can be re-used.
I use mine to store bits and bobs in such as coins and the jars look quite quirky and eye-catching sat on my dressing table. Overall, I highly recommend this candle. It's worth keeping in mind that it smells quite sweet and synthetic though and I doubt that this will appeal to everyone. I personally love it though and I give it a well deserved five out of five stars.
One of the first shops you come across when parking in my town is John Lewis. It was around Christmas time last year, so quite naturally I had a look around. I normally don't like big shops like this as there's so many things to look at and a lot of things are a bit expensive. I was just making my way out after ten minutes of looking around when that sweet smell hit my nose.
I span to find that I was next to a bunch of candles. So many different kinds, so many different scents. However the ones that immediately caught my eye was the Jelly Belly Jelly Bean range. I absolutely love jelly beans, so I got a little excited when I seen the candles. There are quite a few scents available some include lemon lime (my favourite) strawberry cheesecake, toasted marshmallow, very cherry, bubble gum, blueberry, crushed pine and coconut to name but a few!
The candles do come in different sizes. The smallest is around 4cm tall and 6cm wide. So a little small I think. They have around 16 hours burn time. I normally have mine in my bedroom so it doesn't really run out that quickly. The packaging is white with different coloured jelly beans and has a red lid, so there not hard to miss. The scent of the candle is found around the side and is normally the colour of the candle it's self.
When I finally got home with the very cherry I couldn't wait to try it! With in a few minutes of it burning the scent had filled the room and smelt of lovely, fresh, warm cherries. In the shop I wanted to eat every candle because of the scent. How I managed not to scoff the cherry flavoured wax at home I do not know!
The only thing I find a down side to this candle is the price. In John Lewis you can pick up the candle for around £5. Which I find quite steep. It's the brand I guess. You can also buy the candles of the jelly belly uk website for around the same price. You will also be able to view the other flavours that they do too. The only thing is you won't be able to smell those sweet, fruity smells. However if you do buy online I can assure you, you won't be disappointed. Just remember they can be a little small. The website is www.jellybelly-uk.com
I love all things Jelly Belly so when I saw that they now make candles I just had to try one! There is a small range of frangrances, all based around the jelly bean flavours, including Bubblegum, Tangerine and of course Very Cherry... all smell good enough to eat!
The price is pretty fair (I got my candle for £4), particluarly compared to many of the high-end candle ranges on the market, and despite the bargain price I found the candle to be really highly frangranced. Within a few minutes of lighting, the room smelt of lovely sweet candy cherries and the frangrance lingered for quite some time afterwards.
I've lit my candle several times for an hour or more each time, and it still has some life left in it, so the burn-time seems pretty good too - particularly considering the price.
I'm not sure these sugary-sweet smelling candles would be to everyones taste, but they're certainly a bit different from most of the home frangrances available - I love them and I'll definitely be working my way through the range!
Jelly Belly Fragrance Candle Tin (Very Cherry) - from £4 to £7 available on-line
Size: Height: 5.0cm (2.0")
Diameter: 6.5cm (2.6")
Weight: 110g
The candle is a deep red in colour and has a strong scent of cherries. The candle burns for approximately 16 hours, and is supplied in a tin, with a lid that will stop any dust getting into it. The smell itself is a little synthetic and sweet, but it is non the less wonderful.
The candle releases a strong smell while it is burning which does well to cover any smells around the home. The candle smell is long lasting, and they come in a range of other fragrances such as blueberry, buttered popcorn, bubble gum, crushed pineapple, mango, watermelon and toasted marshmallow.
The scent is well worth a go, and I would definitely worth purchasing, I have had this flavour of candle previously in both the tine form, and a glass jar. they do really well as scenting the house, and look wonderful too.
I recently purchased the Jelly Belly Liquorice flavoured candle from my local candle shop. When I lit the candle, it smelled like old cardboard so I emailed Jelly Belly and they sent me a replacement candle.
A few days later, I received a parcel with a Jelly Belly Very Cherry large jar inside. The candle comes in a jar which looks like it should hold some old sweets or seaside rock, it looks very lovely and can be used to do this once the candle has burned away. The jar does not state what weight it holds, but I believe it is around 11oz.
When you take the lid off the jar you can instantly smell the cherry. It is a very strong, sweet smell and hits your nostrils straight away. I think the best way to describe the smell, is a cherry flavoured sweet (such as cherry drops). It does not have your typical fruity cherry scent.
The bottom of the jar indicates that you should light the jar and leave it for a minimum of 4 hours before blowing it out. You should get 60 hours worth of burning time in the jar which means you should be able to light the candle around 15 times before it burns right down.
When I lit the candle, the scent seemed to spread around the whole house. Everywhere smelled very sweet for around an hour and the scent of cherry smelled amazing! However, after an hour or so, I found I could not smell the candle any longer. I don't know if I had grown used to the smell or if this was because the candle had lost it's scent after a while but I was very disappointed.
I purcahsed my first Jelly Belly jar for £9.99, this was at a reduced price and RRP is usually around £15 for one of these. For this price, I would recommend you pay an extra £2-3 and buy a Yankee Candle as these seem to have a stronger scent that lasts longer.
Whilst walking around John Lewis a few weeks ago to witness a morning demo led by an American company spokeswoman to try out their new Cuisinart soup maker blender (the one model I can't fit in my kitchen because of height restrictions) my attention was distracted briefly by the sweet smelling scents that had wafted through John Lewis. Whilst the air filled with black berries, then mango smells and finally marshmallow, my stomach grumbled with angst to find out what was making me feel hungry. Yet, there was no cooking to be found at the oven/cooking department and the soup ingredients in front of me had nothing to suggest the sweet smells.
After realizing that the fruity odours were leading me up to the ground floor from the escalator, I was half delighted and half disappointed to find that John Lewis were burning mere candles! Out of the ranges I've tried this year from Price's odour eliminator candles to IKEA, then Scottish company Shearer I was more than surprised to find a couple of Jelly Belly candle tins, pre lit and already on display.
John Lewis are only selling small candle tins of the famous American Jelly Belly jelly beans in scented wax form and priced at £5 for a small tin that measures approximately 5cm by 6cm, it doesn't bode well based on the size for such a premium price. There are eight different scents available however and from what I sampled, a menagerie of fruity and citrus scents on offer such as "Watermelon," "Crushed Pine," "Mango," "Lemon Lime," in one corner whilst sweet scents, like "Toasted Marshmallow," "Very Cherry," and "Blueberry," and "Bubblegum," made the purchase extremely difficult! All of these candles have around 16 hours burning time, made of low burn wax and whilst they may be small, they carry simple paper adhesive labels in bright colours, similar to the advertising you'd find with standard Jelly Belly product ranges and showing off the colours as per the actual bean you can buy. The tins are also about the same size as a medium sized tub of Astral hand cream, so in theory they make a good travelling companion complete with little tin lids that cease the wick from burning and 10% of the fragrance is contained within the wax. I must say from reading all the blurb from John Lewis I wasn't immediately impressed by the fact of having 10% added for a mere fiver!
When I got my choice home, in the case of one of my favourite Jelly Belly flavours such as "Very Cherry," I naturally couldn't wait to try out the candle. In place of the "Winter," reeds I had bought at the start of the year from the White Company, the pride of place for "Very Cherry," rests solely in the bathroom for obvious odour elimination. However as I had purchased two of the same candles I decided to put one in my living room, which is currently used to "Autumn Fruit," by Yankee Candle or "Red Berry and Cedar," (yes, I like a choice as you can see!).
It was only within a couple of minutes the smell of deliciously sweet very berry cherry pervaded around the room. The actual claim of "highly fragranced candle," as it states on the tin is very true! After an hour with the room door closed over my living room stank of thick sweet red cherry and if you have ever sampled Chap Stick cherry flavour, this is the exact kind of scent you're likely to get out of the candle. The surprising factor is that the cherry burning scent doesn't smell sickly though and I think the 10% added fragrance factor has a lot to do with this aspect.
One of the factors for buying these candles wasn't just down to the scent on offer. The Very Cherry scent whips off tobacco smells in an instant, gets rid of generally negative odours and looks quite unusual for a sweet smelling candle. Certainly none of my friends would ever feel uncomfortable with a candle of this type, particularly when it can shift odours and at the same time present itself as being a fun, child marketed product even though a candle in any form should never be purchased for a child and this candle is no exception.
Another aspect of Jelly Belly's Very Cherry candle is the surprise that no paraffin after tones is present. This is very welcomed as most premium priced candles such as Yankee Candle and Colonial can be too over powering. Overpowering is something that the Jelly Belly candle is on scent alone and certainly if you don't like sweet smells being heavy, don't light this candle for very long as it only has 16 hours maximum burning time.
Even on Jelly Belly's UK website there are still the same 8 scents available and I for one would have loved an Apple scent as apple scented candles are hard to come by. YC's Mackintosh Apple and Green apple candles always make me sneeze. As such a particular downside to the actual product isn't just a limitation of scents on offer; the actual tin itself is not heat insulated and you need to wait for the candle to cool down before the lid can be fixed back on. You'll also need a saucer or a coaster for the candle to sit on whilst lit to avoid surfaces being burnt or damaged. Another downside is that according to John Lewis, these candles are a limited edition, so if you love sweet scented candles you may need to visit John Lewis on the high street to get them and before they sell out. For the fact that they are so pricey, it means they are almost a perfect gift but what a pity it's not edible! Thanks for reading!(C)Nar2 2010

- Summary
From the executive producers of the box-office hit Parenthood -- Ron Howard and Brian Grazer (Oscar winners for A Beautiful Mind), and writer/executive producer Jason Katims (Friday Night Lights) -- this contemporary re-imagining of the blockbuster film depicts the colorful and imperfect Braverman family -- four grown siblings sharing the headaches, heartaches and joy of being parents. The star-studded cast includes Peter Krause, Maura Tierney, Craig T. Nelson, Dax Shepard, Bonnie Bedelia, Monica Potter, Erika Christensen and Sarah Ramos. When Sarah Braverman (Tierney), a financially strapped single mother, returns home to her parents and siblings in Berkeley, Calif. after packing up her Fresno apartment and uprooting her two inconvenienced kids, Amber (Mae Whitman) and Drew (Miles Heizer), she is greeted by her opinionated father, Zeek (Nelson), and strong mother, Camille (Bedelia), who are privately dealing with their own marital issues. As Sarah is reunited with her siblings -- sister, Julia (Christensen), and brothers Crosby (Shepard) and Adam (Krause) -- all struggling with issues of their own, it's clear that the Braverman reunion is just what they need to face the everyday challenges of modern family life.

Jets coach Rex Ryan said in his post-game presser that quarterback Geno Smith will start next week against the Baltimore Ravens, despite getting benched Sunday after committing four turnovers.
Smith completed 8-of-23 passes for 103 yards, three interceptions, and a lost fumble during Week 11's 37-14 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The Jets benched Smith in the fourth quarter, replacing him with Matt Simms.
The Bills' defense rattled Smith, who has been struggling under pressure this season. Buffalo's Kyle Williams had two sacks and forced a fumble, and Jairus Byrd had two of Smith's three interceptions.

Improving a Wine's Wattage
In Bordeaux, I'm always on the lookout for chateau reputations on the rise. Yes, the 1855 Classification ranking of the top 61 has been in place for 150 years, but everybody knows wine quality isn't static. Chateau Montrose is the latest aiming for new heights and buzz.
Sure signs? A new owner with megabucks hired one of the region's star winemakers and is throwing pots of cash at the vineyards and winery. This turns out to include going "green" too.
That's why I grabbed the chance recently to have lunch at the chateau in Saint-Estephe with world-renowned Jean-Bernard Delmas, who spent his stellar 47-year career perfecting first growth Chateau Haut-Brion in Pessac-Leognan, south of Bordeaux. Many think he made its sister property La Mission Haut Brion into such a star that it should be promoted to the short first growth list.
Is that his goal at Montrose? What's he changing? Are current vintages bargains to buy before the wine gets more buzz and prices skyrocket?
Those were the questions on my mind as I drove the fast route north from the city of Bordeaux, avoiding traffic slog on the D2, which passes all the famous châteaux. It still took nearly an hour to reach the winding roads of Saint-Estephe, the Medoc's northernmost appellation, which feels like the middle of nowhere. Finally I arrive at the chateau office where I met up with wine director Delmas.
A solid man with a square face topped with white hair, he's in gray linen jacket and jeans. Calm and courtly, he reminds me of a patient, high-powered headmaster used to being in authority and ready to instruct.
So he filled me in on the chateau's past and the new owners. The Charmolue family owned it for a century, during which they weathered an economic depression, a major cellar fire and occupation by German forces, which set up a firing range in the vineyards. The '80s saw restoration, renovation, modernization. For the past couple of decades, I've found the wine one of the best and most consistent in Saint-Estephe, which has only five crus classés, fewer than any other commune, with no first growths and only two seconds.
All are noted for earthy, tannic wines. Montrose's gravelly terroir produces dense, powerful, muscular examples that last for decades, but the wines don't have the flash and luxury buzz of ambitious neighbor Château Cos d'Estournel.
Montrose's reputation was pretty grand by 2006 when French billionaire and construction tycoon Martin Bouygues (and his brother Olivier) forked over about $170 million for 95 percent of it. (Negociant Jean-François Moüeix, owner of famous Chateau Petrus, owns the rest.)
Martin Bouygues called Delmas.
He'd retired from Haut-Brion in 2003, handing responsibility over to his son, started a small consulting business and was ready for a challenge that didn't involve Haut-Brion. "The first thing I did as wine director," Delmas says, "was taste the three best wines Montrose ever made –1970, 1989, 1990." Then he persuaded the Bouygueses not to bulldoze the modest château to build a grand monstrosity, and got to work.
As we tour the property under cloudy skies, the sound of construction is everywhere, and, to my surprise, most of it is from making the cellars and buildings completely energy self-sufficient through solar, water and wind power by mid-2010. The estate expects to have excess energy to sell. Beneath the chateau is a geothermal source of water that's a constant 14 degrees centigrade for keeping things warm in winter and cool in summer. Saint-Estèphe's trademark stiff breeze has more uses than just drying grapes after a hard rain. All this puts Montrose at the cutting edge of green consciousness in Bordeaux.
"Most wineries can't afford the initial investment in things like our planned 3,000 square meters of solar panels," Delmas says. But the Bouygues brothers' estimated personal fortune is a cool $2.7 billion in 2009, according to Forbes. It comes from their eponymously named international telecommunications and construction businesses, which now have similar environmental policies. Projects have included ports, nuclear power stations, the Channel tunnel and the Musee d'Orsay. Company take in 2008: 32 billion-plus euros.
Delmas tells me he's made dozens of the small changes that I know add up to greatness in wine — maybe. He's reduced yields, cut out weed killers and is thinking about including more petit verdot in the blend, now that it ripens more easily because of global warming.
The 70-hectare vineyard was in good shape, he says, but every year Monsieur Charmolue picked it all at the same time. "You never have the same maturity in each parcel every year, so now we pick according to maturity, as at Haut-Brion."
That costs, but, he claims, this has improved the wine's silkiness. I didn't see it in the barrel samples I sipped and spit in the long, elegant tasting room. The just-bottled 2007 was ripe and scented but lacked heft. The 2008 ($75 as future) was terrific — big, powerful, smoky, full of spice and ripe plums and purity of fruit, with lots and lots of tannin that needs plenty of time to age.
With lamb chops at lunch in the château dining room, I savor a dark and dramatic 1999 Montrose, and Delmas finally drops his real ambitions: "Yes, we want to make a Saint-Estephe-style of first growth."

Yj clutch problems
Ok so I have a 95 yj 4.0, the other day I was
Driving and noticed the clutch was acting different, I noticed because I stalled :(, but what I experienced or seams like what is going on is when I hold the pedal down for a long periods of time( such as reversing out a parking space) when I put it back in 1st it seams different. I guess the beat way I can diacribe it is, most the time the clutch disengages about a inch or two from the top of the pedal and with what I have been experiencing web holding the clutch down it seams to engage at the bottom of the pedal.. Witch is not normal. I had a clutch replaced about 3000 miles ago and have not had a problem untill the other day. If you have other questions I will be happy to try and answer them for you. Thanx in advance!
check the fluid level in your clutch master.
Fluid was full. I already suspected the master cylinder was going bad because of some other stuff I had read. So I replaced it this morning and seams to have fixed the problem. Thank you for the reply..:cool:

LONDON (Reuters) - EasyJet will fly between Britain and Norway for the first time from May, the budget airline said on Monday.
EasyJet, which debuted in the FTSE100 index of Britain's leading shares earlier this month, said Norway would be its 33rd country of operation.
The airline will operate daily flights between London Gatwick and Bergen in Norway's western fjords region and said it expects to carry more than 100,000 passengers on the route annually.

It works perfectly fine for me. Im in patch 3.2 and the addon hasn't been updated since 'piegus' put in his issues.

Poi, starchy Polynesian food paste made from the taro root. In Samoa and other Pacific islands, poi is a thick paste of pounded bananas or pineapples mixed with coconut cream; the word originally denoted the action of pounding the food to a pulp. In Hawaii, where poi is a staple of local cuisine, taro root is used almost exclusively for its preparation. The peeled roots are cooked, pounded, mixed with water to the desired consistency, and strained to remove fibres. The resultant bland, bluish gray paste is eaten fresh or allowed to ferment for up to a week to develop a tangy taste. Hawaiians traditionally did not use eating utensils, and poi is still characterized as one-, two-, or three-finger, according to the technique necessary to scoop up a mouthful. The luau, a Hawaiian banquet, is sometimes called a poi supper.

Four homers back Minor's winning start
Four homers back Minor's winning start
Still, McCann wanted to make sure the 24-year-old left-hander continued to pitch up to his ability.
"He knew it was getting later in the game, and he wanted me just to compete with everything I had left in the tank," Minor said.
Minor easily finished off the sixth inning, and the Braves held on for a 7-3 victory in front of 24,408 fans at Turner Field. Minor allowed three runs (two earned) in 6 1/3 innings and won his second straight start. It was just the second time Minor pitched into the seventh inning since April.
In the end, McCann said, Minor didn't need the sixth-inning pep talk.
"He really pitched well tonight," McCann said. "I don't think me saying anything did anything. I just wanted to throw my two cents in there, and I did, but Mike was under control all night."
Manager Fredi Gonzalez said it was an important win for Minor, who can now go into the All-Star break on a high note.
"I think this is his second outing that was pretty decent for him," Gonzalez said. "He goes into the break feeling good about himself and maybe come out the other end with some momentum."
The Braves' offense allowed Minor to pitch with a lead for much of the night. They wasted no time getting to Cubs starter Matt Garza in the first inning, taking a 2-0 lead three batters into the game. Martin Prado extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a single, and Jason Heyward followed with a deep fly ball into the right-field seats for his team-leading 14th home run of the season.
Freddie Freeman kept the rally going with a single, and Brian McCann followed with a home run of his own, giving the Braves a 4-0 lead. It was McCann's 10th home run of the season and first since June 15.
Though the Braves pounded out four hits and sent eight batters to the plate against Garza in the first inning, Gonzalez singled out Juan Francisco's at-bat. Francisco battled Garza for 16 pitches before grounding out to first base to end the inning.
"I don't think [Garza] ever recovered from that," Gonzalez said.
While Garza settled in after a 44-pitch first inning, the Braves' power display wasn't done just yet. Freeman hit a solo home run to center field in the third inning, his 11th home run of the year.
Garza's pitch count would eventually catch up to him. He threw 94 pitches and was relieved after four innings. It was Garza's shortest start since going three innings in a loss to the Astros on May 21.
The Braves scored a pair of insurance runs against the Cubs' bullpen. McCann drove in his third run in the fifth on a sacrifice fly, and Francisco hit his sixth home run of the season in the eighth inning.
While Minor pitched well, the insurance would prove to be useful. He allowed the first two batters to reach in the seventh inning before striking out Bryan LaHair. Gonzalez then called for Kris Medlen to relieve Minor, but Medlen was unable to keep the runners from scoring. Reed Johnson slapped a pinch-hit single to right field to drive in one run, and the Cubs scored an unearned run on the play when Heyward made an errant throw to third base.
Thursday's victory gave the Braves a split in their four-game series with the Cubs and evened their record on the homestand at 5-5. With a series against the National League East-rival Phillies before the All-Star break, the Braves hope to mimic Minor and finish the first half on a good note.
"Tonight we came out and at least split the series," McCann said. "We had an OK homestand, ended it on a good note, and we need to go to Philly and take care of business."

RE "BORDERS without order'' (Page A1, July 19): Untangling Boston's boundaries might be tough in the Hub, but the experience on my end is even odder. When Massachusetts expatriates here in New York City ask me where I'm from, I answer Boston. But they do too, meaning Waltham, Reading, Marlborough, etc. - anywhere but Boston. I clarify, usually by saying I'm from "Boston, Boston'' or "Boston proper,'' which usually results in the annoyingly skeptical interrogative: "Where?'' Finally, I sigh, and deliver, sotto voce, "Brighton,'' then duck, knowing what is about to be flung at me. "That's not Boston. It's Brighton.'' In the end I persuade them, sort of, that Brighton is part of Boston. That is, they agree, but they're sure I'm wrong. Maybe they're right; kids from up the hill in Brighton used to say I was from Allston.

During the World Cup South Africa have decided to re-introduce Apartheid, the reasons being quite obvious:
This elitist event should only be for the master-races and Blacks, especially poor, thieving, criminal South African Blacks, are not a welcome sight amongst the tourists.
There are to be exclusion zones built around the stadiums keeping "them" out.
As for the inner-cities where it becomes more difficult to keep "them" seperated from the rich footy tourists visiting public places i.e. toilets, cafes and bars signs are to erected for "them" and "the rest" and a special "Einheid" of "Blanke Police" will be patrolling making sure "them" are kept away from the rest.
FIFA are very impressed with the re-introduction of Apartheid and feel the image of this great elitist event can only benefit (and keep their sponsors happy too).
Nelson Mandela has also been informed about the re-introduction of Apartheid for the duration and here his surprise reaction:
"Great, I love it, ever since Zuid Afrika won it's freedom it's gone down the pot and the Blacks are to blame totally, thank God I don't have to go to public conveniences anymore, I am a multi-millionaire after all!"
There had to be a special exception for the multi-millionaire coloured footballers participating and they have been warned not to mingle with the scum, stay in their 6* luxury compounds, play their games and go home.
A representative of coloured footy players said: "OK, no problem we had no intention of mingling with 'them' anyway, they might 'nick' our diamond studded Rolex's!"
The World Cup in South Africa promises to be a multi-seperated colourful affair!

Approaches to Current Stock Market Valuations
The increase in North American stock prices in 1999 and early 2000 has generated interest in the valuation assumptions that would make these price levels sustainable. Here, commonly used valuation techniques are applied to stock markets in Canada and the United States. For the comparative yield approach, real interest rates (rather than nominal rates) are preferred as the comparator of choice to yields on stock market indexes. The spreads between real interest rates and stock market yields have generally increased over the last two years. The dividend-discount model (DDM) approach provides an analytic linkage between the equity-risk premium and the expected growth of dividends. It suggests that market values (measured at the end of February 2000) could be sustained only by rapid growth of dividends in the future or by the continued assumption of an uncharacteristically low risk premium on equity. The spectacular rise in the value of technology stocks in 1999 is noted (Chart 4), and then the valuation measures for the Canadian stock market excluding the technology sector are examined. When this is done with the comparative yield approach, yield spreads are slightly lower, and for the DDM approach, one does not need to assume as high a growth of dividends or as low a risk premium to validate market valuations. Two effects of the "new economy" on the stock market are noted. One is the lowering of dividend yields, as new-economy technology companies tend to have a high reinvestment rate and a low dividend payout rate. Another relates to the potential for a higher track for the economy's productivity growth, which would mean that higher-than-historical assumptions about future earnings growth would be more plausible. Several explanations for the decline in risk premiums on equity are considered. While short-term volatility in the stock market has, if anything, increased in recent years, low inflation and improved economic performance, along with demographics and investor preferences, may have contributed to a decline in the risk premium demanded by investors. A scenario of rapid growth of dividends in the near term slowing to historical norms in the longer term is examined. While this approach can go partway towards explaining high stock market valuations, it requires assumptions that are outside historical experience.

Another description of a reader from "Ward No. 6," which I intend to finish today:
"With the agreeable thought that, thank God, he has had no private practice for a long time, and that no one will bother him, Andrei Yefimych goes home, sits down immediately at the desk in his study, and begins to read. He reads a lot, and always with great pleasure. Half of his salary goes on books, and of the six rooms of his apartment, three are heaped with books and old magazines. He likes writings on history and philosophy most of all; in the field of medicine, he subscribes to The Doctor, which he always starts reading from the back. Each time the reading goes on uninterruptedly for several hours without tiring him. He does not read quickly and impulsively, as Ivan Dmitrich used to, but slowly, sensitively, often lingering over places that please or puzzle him. Beside the book there always stands a little carafe of vodka, and a pickled cucumber or apple lies directly on the baize, without a plate. Every half hour, without taking his eyes of the book, he pours himself a glass of vodka and drinks it, then, without looking, feels for the pickle and takes a bite."


text: It is always a challenge to figure out best mix of Equipment to match accounts. I Think the setup for you GMLC based on what your accounts are and the fact you said you have properties with hills that only a walk behind will do, I think having a walk behind is a given for you. Also I know you love your 452 but if trailer space wasnt an issue you have made it clear you would have a 460. So in your perfect scenario a 460. A walk behind whatever size works best for you. And I think if you considered a prostance 48" you would truly have a great mix of sizes. And would truly have a stander that can not only get places 452 can't go but if you did get the 460 in a year or two you could really get more areas that 460 wont fit. I have been really surprised how many gates I can just squeeze through with 48" over the 52" grandstand I had. And there is just enough trim side on 48" since prostance is a hair narrower than grandstand. Until just before my purchase I always considered a 48" Mower to be a size I wouldn't consider but it has really made a big difference. Good luck with your decision. I also think with the engines being the same on 48 and 52 you will enjoy less power loss in thick wet conditions with 48". Posted via Mobile Device

Outcoached, Outclassed, Outplayed: Zags Dominate Cougs
Every now and then a game comes along that is absolutely poetic. I know, I know, I wrote that this was just another silly PAC-10 team thinking Gonzaga was inferior but there is some pride in beating the Cougs, a team that took away plenty of happiness during my last two years of college.
Heading into this game, Gonzaga fans heard all the same BS. Can Gonzaga play a slow game? Do they really want to be defended? Blah, blah, blah. Your answer came tonight in an absolute laugher of a game in Pullman, Washington.
Give some credit to the Cougs that showed up in the first half tonight, who now are 1-73 against Top 5 opposition. They gave it their all and capitalized on sloppy fouls by Gonzaga. Believe it or not, this game was 32-29 at halftime. I'm really going to try and focus on the second half during this game but I guess I do have to address the sloppy play in the first half. Gonzaga looked flustered to say the least. They weren't shooting well and they were accumulating fouls very quickly. Josh Heytvelt, Rob Sacre, and Ira Brown had two fouls at halftime. Micah Downs had three. Everything looked bad for Gonzaga and it appeared as though this game was headed to another 51-47 game.
Suddenly, the Zags snapped out of it and realized that Derrick Low, Kyle Weaver and the Cougs of last year are no more.
How can I go about explaining the second half? Absolute...perfection. Gonzaga came out fast and shoved the slow pace in the Cougars face. Micah Downs and Steven Gray were outstanding on the press against Wazzu, forcing one 10 second call and numerous amounts of Cougar turnovers. Washington State didn't help their cause at all. Any Cougar fan would agree with me in saying that they just looked flat out bad. I've never seen Taylor Rochestie play so poorly, but this has become an alarming trend for Washington State fans because he is a key player if they are going to have any shot at a tournament bid. Super frosh Klay Thompson looked scared and senior big man Aron Baynes was perfect from the field...but never really established himself as a major threat and finished with 10 points. The most efficient player for the Cougs probably wound up being Caleb Forrest who ended up with 9 points.
Now on to the winning team. Gonzaga was paced by its leaders. Josh Heytvelt was absolutely outstanding, Jeremy Pargo led this team beautifully, and Austin Daye rebounded from a tough start to finish very well. Congrats to Mr. Pargo as well, the official stats have not been released but I believe that he had a double-double with 11 points and 10 assists. He had a very Pargo-esque stat line shooting 5-7 from the floor. Not forcing anything, but still directing this team to success. What can you say about Josh Heytvelt? You would be hard pressed to find a player that has come back from more adversity than Mr. Heytvelt. After two early (somewhat questionable) fouls, the big man who apparently dreamed of Washington State (thanks Ehlo) played beautifully. He shot 18 times tonight, including seven from three-point land. Any other night I would say that he shot too many threes but I'm so happy right now that I don't really care. He finished with 22 points and was just exquisite.
Super sophomores Austin Daye and Steven Gray were fantastic tonight as well. Gray, who finished with 9 points, hit some clutch three pointers in the first half when it appeared that WSU was in control of the game. Austin Daye seemed flustered at the start of the game but settled in after a big three in the first half and never looked back. He showed some maturity and was really meshing well with the team. Junior Matt Bouldin had another solid game, especially (you guessed it) in the second half. He continues to play great basketball for this team and not relying on the outside shot to get baskets.
Is there a question about basketball supremacy in the state this year? Gonzaga continues to roll through a challenging non-conference schedule. Next up are the Arizona Wildcats which should be a much different style of game.
Congrats to Mark Few, the staff, and the team. It's another great night to be a Zag.

where is nuss now? i thought there was no way in hell the zags were going to score 70...too bad, i was hoping to hear what excuse cougar fans could give me to why their team was losing by 33 at one point. im always fine with the 'couged it' motto. seems to be a reoccuring excuse.

Cougs just looked dead tired in the second half. It took all of their energy to keep pace in the first half against Pitt, same against our team tonight. They need more depth if they want to play a full 40 minutes and depth is something the Cougs are far from at this point.

WSU played well early, but just showed their youth in the 2nd half. Once GU got a solid lead and managed to turn them over, they had no clue how to respond and paniced, playing right in GU's hands. Great stretch by Pargo to begin the 2nd half.

nuss is a piece of shit. how can you not respect a good basketball team like GU? if gonzaga would do so poorly in the pac-10, and the cougs were beat by 22 by them, then just wait for a 4 win pac-10 year nuss.

Hello glorious Top Spin devs...
I've been playing Tennis for over 15 years, and have quite a few titles under my belt. I absolutely LOVE your game, which is easily as close as it gets to real tennis. However, as PC-only gamer, I've stopped playing your games when you stopped developing for PC. But I'm buying the PS Vita this week, and the only tennis option we have is the horrible Virtua Tennis 4. Please, please, please port your game for the PS Vita. It doesn't even have to use the completely useless touchscreen and rear touchpad (I know Sony will push you to use them in your games). Just PORT YOUR GAME TO THE VITA. Top Spin 4 is a game meant to be played on the go with other humans. It has potential to be the best selling sports title on the platform (second maybe to FIFA, of course).
Just look at how incredible looking sports games can be on the VITA:
Please tell me you're working on it!
Thanks guys,

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
There wasn't much to the construction of this costume. I made a leo and attached the Thundercats logo to it. The yellow sleeve was a pair of yellow tights that I cut off one leg and hand sewed into the leo. The boots I hand painted to match the color of the leo. The wig was an 80's rock wig that I bought from a local costume shop and I added black spots with a sharpie.

Cordell Broadus already has an extensive offer list and now the 2015 wide receiver is considering some trips this fall that could land him more offers.
The Diamond Bar, Calif., standout said he's planning two unofficial visits this season - to Oregon for the UCLA game and possibly to Texas A&M for the Alabama showdown - and both could be big for the 6-foot-3, 186-pound recruit.
"Those are two big schools," Broadus said.
Article Continues Below
"I'm really interested in both of those schools, Texas A&M and Oregon. I haven't gotten an offer from them yet but I'm just patiently waiting and staying hungry."
Broadus hasn't been offered by those schools but he already has an impressive list of schools involved early on.
So far, the 2015 prospect has offers from Arizona State, Cal, Duke, LSU, Nebraska, Oregon State, Tennessee, UCLA, USC and Washington.
Broadus, the son of Snoop Dogg, could see his recruitment take off even more in his junior season because he and fellow 2015 standout Kanya Bell form one of the top receiving duos in California.
Diamond Bar opens its season this weekend against Montebello and some big things are expected.
"Everything has just been calm right now with recruiting," Broadus said. "I haven't gotten any offers or anything but I'm not even focused on that right now. I'm trying to get ready for this season and get to the playoffs.
"We have a lot of potential and I can see us going far this season."


text: Hey everyone, I'm wondering if any of you can help me. I have the BOSE symphony II double din setup in my car with the phone hands free kit and the sat nav, the one next to the hand break. Now when the phone rings the radio is muted and when the sat nav speaks it lowers the volume on the radio and speaks over it. My first question is how does all of this work? Does only the Audi head unit work this way or can others do the same sort of thing? Is there some way you can wire the hands free kit and or the sat nav to work this way on an after market head unit? But basically what i want to do it replace everything audio in the car, the head unit, the component speakers, that crappy bose sub all with new and better stuff. Is this easy, can it be done? For the head unit i am looking at this Kenwood: http://caraudiosecurity.com/catalog/images/KENWOOD-DDX-7025.jpg If i put this in can i get the phone hands free kit and the sat nav to work with it? The phone is a nokia 6310i and it sits in the custom made housing by Audi. Any help at all would be much appriacted. Toby

Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Missouri
i got a loan about 3 months ago from a loan company i lost my job the next month i haven't been able to make my payments now they are calling me and saying they are filing charges on me. can they do that and what are the charges
Asked on 1/04/12, 2:43 pm
1 Answer from Attorneys
Anthony Smith LawSmith
agree little criminal charges for failure to pay a private debt. What they were probably referring to was a civil law suit for the outstanding debt. It might be described as a sit on account, or a suit on an account or note. You may have some defenses that you can assert. Therefore, if you get arrived with a summons and petition, you should consult directly with legal counsel in your area.
Good luck

EDMONTON - Two wrongs will definitely not make things all right for the Edmonton Eskimos.
After finding themselves on the wrong side of a 17-3 score against the B.C. Lions last Saturday, they will have to turn around and face the same opponent right away again this week.
On the road.
After suffering their worst and most embarrassing loss of this young season.
But hardly the worst of all time.
In fact, the Eskimos have made a habit of taking one bad, embarrassing and inexcusable loss per season recently.
Last year, the Eskimos went into Regina and were handed a 17-1 defeat by the Saskatchewan Roughriders in Week 2.
The season prior to that, the Eskimos started out 5-0 before getting obliterated 36-1 in Week 8 to a Lions squad that was 1-7 up to that point, before using Edmonton as a springboard to a Grey Cup championship that November.

BOB FORD/TIMES NEWS Cars slowly make their way on snow-covered Route 443 in Lehighton Friday morning.
The coldest weather in several years will be arriving by tonight and temperatures are expected to fall below zero.
This comes after a pesky snowstorm, named Hercules by The Weather Channel, dumped anywhere from 6 to 10 inches of snow throughout the region.
Temperatures will plummet to as much as 3 below zero tonight, according to some predictions.
Even this afternoon, the arrival of the cold front will be accompanied by high winds which will drop wind chills to about 20 below.
Although a warmer air mass is predicted to arrive for Sunday when the mercury could reach over 40 degrees, accompanied by rain, another shot of cold weather comes next week with sub-zero temperatures returning Monday night.
Snow has been great for skiers but a nuisance for others.
Commuting was difficult Thursday night as the snow, accompanied by winds, made visibility low.
By late afternoon, PennDOT had reduced the speed limit on all the major area roadways including Interstates 80, 81, and 78 to 45 miles per hour.
The Pennsylvania Turnpike also reduced its speed limit.
Speed limits were returned to normal by late this morning.
Road crews worked all night to keep highways passable.
This was the fourth snowstorm in about three weeks.
According to the National Weather Service, snow totals from last night's storm as measured by trained spotters were:
Lake Harmony, 7.5 inches.
Albrightsville, 7.2 inches.
Lehighton, 7.0 inches.
Palmerton, 6.2 inches.
Tresckow, 5.8 inches.
John Stoj reported that 10 inches fell in Towamensing Trails, Penn Forest Township.
Robert Risley reported that 8 inches of snow fell in South Tamaqua but drifts were 2 and 1/2 feet deep.
Children returned to classes yesterday from their Christmas break, but were dismissed early because of snow arriving in the afternoon.
All schools in the area were closed today, and tonight's sporting events were canceled.
Numerous crashes, although none reported with life-threatening injuries, occurred throughout the area.
