Probate – how does it work?
Find out if there is a Will
The will should set out who the executors are – the people responsible for dealing with the assets within the estate and ensuring that they are distributed in accordance with the will. If the executors are not family members, make sure they are informed as soon as possible about what has happened.
If there is no will, then the intestacy rules apply. These say who should deal with the estate; these people are called administrators.
Administrators and executors have the same duties and responsibilities and are known as Personal Representatives ('PRs').
Probate – Immediate matters
Register the death with the Registrar of Births and Deaths for the sub-district where the death occurred. Phone them for an appointment; they will tell you exactly what information you need to take to the appointment.
Make arrangements for the funeral. Check the will to see if the deceased had any special funeral wishes and ensure the funeral director knows about these.
Identify assets and debts
The PRs are responsible for finding out what assets the deceased owned – e.g. bank and building society accounts, property, insurance policies, shares, premium savings bonds. Each bank, building society, company, insurer or registrar will have to be informed of the death and date of death balances obtained. PRs are also responsible for obtaining details of any outstanding debts – newspaper bills or outstanding care home fees for example -and ensuring these are paid.
Grant of Probate
A Grant is a formal document issued by the Probate Registry confirming the authority of the PRs to deal with the administration of the estate. If there is a will, a Grant of Probate is obtained; if the deceased died without a will, you need a Grant of Letters of Administration.
Grant of Probate is not always necessary for example if the value of the assets is small, no house is involved, or all the investments are held in joint names.
A Grant cannot be applied for until any Inheritance Tax ("IHT") due has been paid and a receipt obtained – which must be produced to the Probate Registry. An IHT account giving details of the assets within the estate and the debts must be prepared, together with a short oath which the PRs must swear.
Collecting and Distributing the Assets
Once the Grant has been obtained, the PRs will need to show it to all the organisations the deceased held investments with – banks, building societies, insurance companies, company registrars and soon – enabling them to arrange release of the money. PRs can then pay any debts and expenses before distributing what remains to those entitled under the will or intestacy. The assets do not necessarily have to be cashed; shares can, for example, be transferred to those entitled if they wish to keep them.
How long does Probate take?
It is very difficult to give an accurate indication of how long it takes to complete the administration of an estate because no two are alike. Tensions or disputes between family members and beneficiaries, large numbers of assets, and complicated assets such as businesses or farms all cause delay; many banks and building societies can also be very slow indeed to provide information and close accounts and this can cause delays of around 10 weeks. Selling property can also cause delays particularly in the current market.
As a general estimate, it takes between 6 months and a year to complete a routine administration.
Probate Options
It is possible for PRs to obtain a Grant personally by visiting the Probate Registry and some people feel happy and able to deal with the process themselves. For others, however, the time involved in dealing with the administration of an estate is very offputting and many find themselves unable to manage all the paperwork at a time when they are trying to come to terms with the loss of a loved one.

Steve Chiotakis: The U.N. releases a report today on a growing problem: e-waste -- discarded cell phones, computers, and other gadgets. Yeah, it's an issue right here in the United States, but as
Ashley Milne-Tyte reports, it could be an even bigger problem in the developing world.
Ashley Milne-Tyte: Take India: the report says 10 years from now, the number of dumped computers there will jump 500 percent. And "recycling: often means handing your old gadgets off to a guy down the block. He scours the insides for valuable metals and trashes the rest.
Ruediger Kuehr is with United Nations University, a U.N. think tank. He says many metals are in such high demand that we need to re-use them. But street recyclers end up extracting only small amounts from phones and computers.
Ruediger Kuehr: And if you start calculating how much money you are wasting by not getting these valuables out of the equipment again, we are easily talking about several billions of U.S. dollar each year ending up on landfills.
He says it's time to help poorer countries maximize the recycling of both metals and junk. That said, consumers also need to be educated. U.N. research shows very few Europeans recycle their phones.
I'm Ashley Milne-Tyte for Marketplace.

What's Wrong With Horror? Please Scare Me Hollywood!
by Andy Adair
April 13, 2008
Can I say something that I am sure everyone is saying, or I hope at least thinking? Over the last three years, Hollywood has been giving us one thing that we will never forget - bad horror movies. Why does Hollywood do this to us? Is it really that hard to scare someone without making a terrible film? Hollywood has underestimated the intelligence of the movie going public by releasing cheesy "horror" films that only scare us because we can't believe that people are really that bad at acting. And yet people still shovel out the money, hoping that one of these days we will truly be scared by one of these disasters of cinema.
Almost every film in the horror genre since August of 2005 has been at best a six out of ten. The reason I date August of 2005 is because I am referring to The Descent as the last good horror film. Since then, we have had numerous terrible Hollywood duds such as The Grudge 2, Pulse, and Slither. Of course there were a few shining moments between then and now (Halloween, The Mist), but The Descent was the last movie I can remember being genuinely scared.
There are of course a lot of problems with the genre that need to be fixed. First, there are way too many PG-13 horror films, that in my opinion, all suck. For example, in the last three months we have seen the release of four sub-par PG-13 horror films: The Eye, One Missed Call, Shutter, and Prom Night. Of course, the reason these films are made is to target the teenage demographic. I work at a movie theater and every release of another one of these attracts so many teenagers, who all seem to genuinely like the movies. Every time I step into a theater full of obnoxious 15 year olds I feel like I am babysitting. Now I'm 21 and I've already grown out of this phase. Is it too much to ask for a horror film directed at more mature audiences? I hope I am not the only adult who feels the same way about these bad movies!
The second problem with recent horror films is that they rely quite heavily on violence. I love the Saw series, but we can't honestly say they are still horror films can we? It's more of a shock fest than it is a good scare. Another prime example of this horror film travesty is Hostel 1 & 2. Going for shock and awe over scare, these two movies fully support the idea of movies going for the "ewww" factor. I think you can even throw in films like Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning and The Hills Have Eyes into this category.
The last issue with the genre is the poor execution. I recently went to see The Ruins and initially thought that the idea for the film was great. The characters were believable and the potential for this film was fantastic, except that it fell way short of the mark. Is it too much to ask for a horror film that has great characters that we can care about, great scares, a good story, and intensity that takes us to a place where we are truly filled with terror?
What is a good horror film then? I feel like there a few guidelines that must be followed in order for me to be scared again. The first is the acting. These days filmmakers will throw in any Hollywood hotty to try and sell tickets. Sure they look great, but that is the extent of their acting ability. We need solid actors. I don't care if they aren't models, I want someone who looks like a real person that is actually scared! Also, a good original story wouldn't hurt either. It seems like almost every scary movie is based off a much better foreign version of the same film. We Americans get our hands on it, dumb down the story for our dumb audiences, and presto! A hit scary movie, that sucks!
And is it so much to ask for a good amount of violence with out going over the top? What happened to our imaginations? I am fine with seeing a few things, but do I need to see his shin bone snap in two? Not really. A solid balance that allows us to both see the gore and use our imagination at times would be a nice change in today's horror industry. And lastly, the studios need to toss in a few R-rated horror films. It's not too much to ask. How much better would some of the PG-13 films have been if we had a few more F-words and a bit more violence; they might have even been passable!
I hope that some of the upcoming horror films like Quarantine and perhaps even The Poughkeepsie Tapes can deliver what the horror genre is lacking. I still feel like it will be impossible to truly scare the audience when all that's on the minds of the studios is money, but there is still hope. Are there any gems out there that people should watch to deliver a true scare? What is the one movie you would recommend that will cause people to run to the car after the movie? Leave your comments and let the world know what movie they should see to scare the hell out of them. I know that is what I want!
Our friend Scott Weinberg over at Cinematical has followed up with a similar horror rant of his own: PG-13 Horror Sucks and I Can Prove It.

Listener Feedback Friday!
In this week's Listener Feedback:
Alex from Houston and Sharla Manglass from Athens, GA, both wrote in to say that they were interested in meeting up during Mark's research trip May 15-18. KJSJpipe and IslandDisneyGirl (not IslandMickeyGirl like Mark said on the show) from the MousePad discussion forums also are interested in meeting up. Mark is still working on his official schedule, but was wondering what people wanted to do for a meet. Some ideas include meeting for Soarin', Illuminations or Mousssse.
Alex from Houston sent in a second email, noting that in comparing Spaceship Earth videos from before and after the refurbishment the girl in the computer room looks like she may have come from the printing press scene earlier in the attraction.
We had a whole bunch of emails and voicemails supporting us and our approach to the show in the wake of the critical email from Jeff Kim a couple of weeks ago. We didn't want to turn this show into a "bash Jeff Kim" show, so we only ran a couple of them that had other topics included as well.
Justin called in to support us, but also wanted to know if some original Walt Disney World papers that he has were worth anything. After trying to convince Justin that they weren't worth anything and that he should just send them to us, Mark finally relented and said that Justin should probably check a couple of resources to find out what they are really worth. Mark suggested both the NFFC World Chapter Show & Sale and eBay.
Mela Nazelhut asked about dog-friendly accommodations on property, since they would need to take their dog with them when they go. She also gave us support against criticism.
The only place on property that Mark could think of that is dog-friendly would be Fort Wilderness, and she'd likely have to kennel the dog during the day anyway.
Mark recommended that she check to see if some off-property accommodations were dog-friendly. (Note: DogFriendly.com lists a number of properties near Walt Disney World that allow pets.)
Dan Weckerly also called in to defend us, but Mark made sure to run the voicemail because Dan sided with Nemo against Simba in the great debate.
Mark arranged for Mike to read the email from Owen noting that Nemo is greater than Simba. Mike thought that Owen got it backwards.
Cliff wrote in with a comment that concerned Mark more than Jeff Kim's email. Cliff noted that he was bothered by the fact that the podcast took time away from Mark writing feature articles. Mark used to be almost his sole source for articles, but he is now frequenting other sites to make up for the lack here.
The competition for Mark's time is something that concerns him. He wants to know who used to read his World View articles, and whether they miss them. Is the podcast a fair tradeoff for the World View articles, or should Mark try to write more of those features? Let Mark know what you think.
John from NY called in with his Top 3 restaurants at Disney resorts and Downtown Disney.
- WDW Resort restaurants
- 1. 1900 Park Fare
- 2. Chef Mickey's
- 3. Trail's End
- WDW Downtown Disney restaurants
- 1. Regal Sun character breakfast
- DLR Resort restaurants
- 1. Goofy's Kitchen
- 2. Ariel's Grotto
- 3. Paradies Pier character breakfast
Mike had never heard about the character breakfast at the Regal Sun. Mark noted that they actually have three character breakfasts a week, which he discovered during his tour to prepare for the video voiceovers that he did for the Downtown Disney Hotels.
It was also interesting to see Trail's End on the list.
Vance Cope wrote in to share his Top 3 restaurants at Walt Disney World resorts:
- Honorable mention: The "Build your own Pasta" bar at the Riverside Mill Food Court at Port Orleans Riverside.
- 3. Kona Cafe
- 2. Tie - Boma and Chef Mickey's
- 3. Fulton's Crab House
Vance Cope mentioned that Boma was where he had his Bluetini. Mark pointed out that, as reported in Monday's Walt Disney World Park Update and yesterday's MousePlanetWatch News Podcast, Cheers Magazine not only awarded Walt Disney World the Best Overall Beverage Program honors for 2008, but also named the Blue "Glow Tini" (or as we call it, the Bluetini) the Best Chain Signature Drink of 2008. That should guarantee that the drink will be around for our Hustle-tini meet at MouseFest 2008.
Robert Lasoff wrote to let us know that there are no more bread bowls for the clam chowder at Columbia Harbour House. He and his family (and Mark) are disappointed by that. He plans to call in with some restaurant reviews during his upcoming trip. Mark wanted to try to clarify which restaurant Robert was referring to when he said that he was eating at "Chefs De Paris", since the two restaurants are Chefs de France and Bistro de Paris.
John Papas sent an email in response to the story from the shareholder meeting that Disney Chairman John Pepper and CEO Bob Iger both seemed interested in a shareholder's suggestion of a worldwide annual pass. John had sent in a similar suggestion, but had received a letter in return which stated that his suggestion would not be reviewed and was being returned with no copies kept. Mark explained some of the legal reasons why unsolicited suggestions get returned without being read. Mike wishes that Universal did a worldwide pass, though he noted that Busch theme parks have an all-parks annual pass. Mark noted that Six Flags also offers an all-parks pass.
Brian from EndorExpress.net wrote to let us know that they have a new interview with Tom Fitzgerald on their site. You can find it here.

A good old camera...
I was expecting a scan at least, or a picture of a picture taken with something actually old, something that uses technology that isn't in standard use today. Something, say, like a pre-35mm exposure box. I don't think anyone today who knows anything about cameras in general, and photography specifically, would argue that the D700 is anywhere near 'old'. Its technology has been superseded by newer and better technology, but the underlying tech in its successors: D800/600/7000/D4, etc., is exactly the same: TTL, PSAM, automatic aperture viewing, and so on.
Any camera can take a nice portrait, regardless of age, regardless of lens quality. Showing a picture does not prove a camera is good or bad or old or new. I've only been reading dpreview seriously since about 2004, but even in my almost ten years, I've seen the same sort of thread pop up every year, every month, every iteration.
There's no point in proving that a camera that has been superseded by newer technology is still good, or can take good pictures. Of course it can. No one ever could disprove that. It adds very little to a forum, to a technical discussion, to anything dpreview.
It's like arguing 'my car still has four wheels'. Of course it does. Most cars to, and any car on the road must abide by the rules of the road. If your state allows three-wheeled cars, then the three-wheeled car must maintain its three wheels. Similarly, a four-wheeled or six-wheeled, or 18 wheeled car must maintain its load balance laws.
Now, arguing that your pre-1850 camera is still working because of your excellent maintenance skill have kept it alive - that is pretty damn cool. Arguing that a D700 still takes good photos (which it always has) or arguing that it is better than its successors because of a nebulous quality it has - that is rubbish.
However, if you brought to the table the criticism that the D800 has a poor grip, or hasn't advanced the viewfinder enough, or should be made of different materials, you would have something to argue. This is just a nice portrait with a nice camera. That's it.

Augusta RiverHawks defenseman J.D. Gordon was suspended by the Southern Professional Hockey League this afternoon in the wake of Thursday night's win over the Huntsville Havoc.
Gordon, who signed with the team on Wednesday, made his RiverHawks debut Thursday and was ejected 11 minutes into the game. A hard hit from behind two minutes into the first period earned him a cross checking penalty, and his night ended early nine minutes later when he was given a game misconduct and five-minute major for checking from behind.
The suspension announcement came from the league office this afternoon without comment from league executives. The two-sentence statement said only that Gordon was suspended "for his actions in the RiverHawks' game against Huntsville."
Augusta head coach Brad Ralph said after the game he was pleased with Gordon and the other three skaters who made their season debut for the RiverHawks. The 3-2 win saw Augusta reclaim sole possession of first place in the league standings.
Gordon will miss Saturday's home game against the Fayetteville FireAntz.

Jack Seymour
Professor of Religious Education
In a world, and even in a church, where division and mistrust are too often the reality, "glimpses" of hope do break through, calling us to community. Religious education begins by witnessing to those glimpses of God's grace, hope, and justice. Religious education seeks to build communities of faith in the midst of difference. Therefore, key themes in my work include practical theological reflection, teaching the way of Jesus, exploring how cultural contexts affect faith learning, interfaith religious education, and witnessing to the impact faith has in public life. My recent publications are efforts at practical theological reflection connecting the theology of the people of God with biblical and theological reflection on the "way of Jesus." I seek to listen to people of God as they encounter grace and, through theological reflection in faith community, are empowered to follow Jesus into God's transforming ministries. Outside the seminary, I serve as editor of the interfaith and intercultural educational journal Religious Education for the Religious Education Association: An Association of Professors, Practitioners, and Researchers in Religious Education. Working with persons of other faith communities has given me a profound respect for our mutual journeys to build a world of hope and for the ways we must partner in the healing of creation. I also serve as a consultant for the Wabash Center for Teaching and Learning, seeking to assist faculty to grow as teachers in theological education.

KEVIN Sampson's novel Awaydays has taken more than a decade to reach the screen and something has been lost en route.
A meagre budget and a lack of clear-cut character motivations blunts the impact of what might have been a powerful Mean Streets-style study of male friendship.
The Liverpool of 1979 provides a suitably grim backdrop to the life of 19-year-old Carty (Nicky Bell), an arts college drop-out stuck in a routine job.
A perennial outsider, his heart is set on acceptance by The Pack, a gang of football casuals led by John Godden (Stephen Graham).
A chance meeting with gang member Elvis (Liam Boyle) provides his entry to a world of senseless violence and unquestioning loyalty.
We must assume membership of The Pack makes him feel more of a man as it is not something that is entirely obvious from the film.
The growing bond with Elvis and the conflicts it inspires is the crux of a rough, unpolished adaptation that boasts a compelling performance from Boyle and an evocative soundtrack from the likes of The Cure, Echo And The Bunnymen and Joy Division.

SAO PAULO, May 12 (Reuters) - Brazil's state-controlled electricity holding company Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras SA reported on Thursday a loss of 3.89 billion reais ($1.12 billion) in the first quarter, sharply reversing a gain of 1.11 billion reais a year earlier.
The company, which controls 15 subsidiaries in Brazil and has a 50-percent stake in the country's largest hydroelectric dam Itaipu, said losses from some of its power distribution companies and smaller revenues from electricity sales in the spot power market impacted its first quarter results.
Eletrobras, as the company is known, had reported a huge loss of 10.44 billion reais in the previous quarter, when it admitted losses in large projects such as the nuclear power plant Angra 3.
The Brazilian holding company said net revenues fell to 6.76 billion reais in the first quarter compared to 8.59 billion reais in the same period last year.
Eletrobras admitted on Wednesday that its American Depository Receipts could be delisted in New York as a result of delayed regulatory filings, the latest consequence of a vast corruption investigation rattling Brazil.

Jan Carlzon was born in Nykoping, Sweden, in 1941. After receiving his M.B.A. from the Stockholm School of Economics in 1967, he joined Vingresor, Sweden's largest tour operator, first as product manager and later as head of marketing. In 1974, when the package-tour business was in a tailspin because of the first energy crisis, he was named managing director of Vingresor at the age of 32 and soon reversed that company's economic decline. In 1978 he became managing director of Linjeflyg, Sweden's major domestic airline, and in 1981 he took command as resident and chief executive officer of SAS, the consortium of the national airlines of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. At both Linjeflyg and SAS his leadership turned heavy economic losses into healthy profits within a year. Mr. Carlzon is frequently invited to give talks and interviews worldwide on leadership and customer-oriented business strategies.

A Forward proxy provides internal clients access through a firewall to resources on the Internet. This service is often provided as part of a larger intranet security strategy. Forward proxying allows clients to access resources outside of the firewall without compromising the integrity of the private network.
A forward proxy can be configured to keep copies of content within their local cache. Subsequent requests for that content can then be serviced from the local cache rather than obtaining the content from the origin server. Caching increases performance by decreasing the time involved in traversing the network.
Most proxy servers have the capability to filter requests from users. Administrators can choose to limit access to certain resources that might not be appropriate for the workplace and therefore deny such access.
In a forward proxy scenario, the client is aware of the proxy server and is configured to use it for various requests. The firewall can then be configured to allow only certain traffic from the proxy server rather than permitting such access to all internal clients.

OMG – I went to check on storage prices yesterday. Not something I have done before. I wanted to get Heated Storage because some of the items I have will definitely get brittle and snap in the middle of winter. $250 a month? Really ? If I get a cot and a key to the bathroom, I would sublet the space. Thinking for that money I can buy a space heater and a 20-foot shipping container and have it paid for in 6 months. Dilemma! Still going to price shop, but looks like a big rusty shipping container from China is in my future.
Or a refer unit semi trailer. I don't know how much those cost though, and moving one of those would probably have to be done in the dead of night or no wait I mean by someone with a Commercial Driver's License.
I have been clean off N.O. EXPLODE for 6 days. THIS IS A MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENT. I know I have a very addictive and needy personality (which is why I've never done drugs.) Dang, if I can't stop with M&M's, eating whole cakes, or if you're having one beer why not have 30) but I didn't realize just how much I have become connected to this caffeine/sports pre-work out drink. I am on lots of water and Alkaline pills. I did a PH test and I was basically battery acid on the inside and took me four days to balance out. Call me PH balanced now!
Talk about TICKED! So I NEEDED some chocolate this morning – – hey I've been without NO EXPLODE, I needed something. Picture this, I walk up to the snack machine take a look, there they are Recess Peanut Butter Cups. MMM MM MMM right? Dollar in! (which BTW I'm not pointing fingers but I am pretty sure that TJ raided my stash of quarters, but I found enough) So the dollar is in and the slot is E10.
I gently push the Letter E. Then I gently push the first digit 1 and before I could find the 0 a disgusting bag of Twizzler Strawberry Bites falls to the bottom of the machine. NOOOoooooooooo!! Crapity Crap crapola! There's a 10? What? Who does that? What keypads have the number 10? Let me think … oh yeah … NONE! Well, none except for this one that just nailed me for another $1 so I could get my chocolate.
Shayne appreciated the mistake, as apparently she likes eating cold nasty Twizzlers.
How long do you normally go with your check engine light on? Mine's been on for about three weeks.

Siri wannabe "Evi" reportedly bought by Amazon
A report is coming out that makes it sound like Amazon may be working on its own version of a voice assistant – almost Siri-like. According to TechCrunch, Amazon has been acquired Evi, a voice-assistant application that is very similar to Siri in the information it can provide. According to the report:
At UK Companies House all the Evi Technologies Ltd directors have been replaced by Amazon's UK legal representative, and this is confirmed by the Octopus Ventures annual report. The annual reports of all Octopus Ventuers' funds allrefer to the disposing of their shares in Evi Technologies.
Companies House records show all directors at Evi have beed replaced and loans paid off, while a small loss of £19,000 was recognised.
The new Company Secretary for Evi Technologies is also Amazon's: Mitre Secretaries Ltd are the corporate secretary for Amazon.co.uk (and Amazon's London software development company).
Consumer Reports took a look at Evi back in early 2012 when Apple was threatening to pull it because of the Siri similarities, and determined that it had a long ways to go in terms of functionality.
What do you think? Wonder what Amazon has up its sleeves? Is it working on something to work against Siri? Let us know in the comments, or tweet me @TiP_Kyle.

I love both sisters and Danielle. I'll be happy if it's Taylor, Tori, or Danielle.
I love both sisters and Danielle. I'll be happy if it's Taylor, Tori, or Danielle.
Yes, find out!
I think Morgan will, because whether you like him personally or not he had the most professional performance of the night and he balances AJ who I am sure will get through. Both AJ and Morgan are about the same size and would make good bookends for three girls.
Well in my opinion i actually don't think Morgan was all that great. Yeah he hit some good notes but some of the times he was off key. I really didn't think he was all that great. But since the judges bragged about him he'll be the first one in which i don't think he should be. I mean yeah he can sing but in my honest opinion it should go to Chantel, Taylor, or Danielle those three did an amazing job. Chantel blew me away she redeemed herself form last weeks performance. Danielle is so talented and she's so natural and pure. Taylor was amazing to sing a fast song like that and sing it in tune and so beautifully. She impressed my whole family with how well she did it. She also impressed us with her dance moves.
Go Taylor, Chantel, and Danielle all three of you deserve to make the band!!!!!
I think AJ or tori will get voted thru first.
I think AJ, Tori, or Chantel will get voten though first
hmmm I think Tori or Chantel or Taylor will be voted in tonight but this is who I want in the group (in no order)
I honestly do NOT like aj or morgan, they annoy me and I don't think they're the greatest singers... Chantel, Lucy and Danielle are far superior to EVERYONE and Tori and Taylor, come on you need them! They have it all! Good voice, good personality, good stage presence, their cute and their sisters!
But tonight it wil be Tori Chantel or Taylor...or Danielle maybe? hopefully NONE of the guys!
Lucy, Danieele, Jorda, Katelyn or Chantel
Hopefully CHANTEL...
I hope she gets the first voted in.
BUT, I really dont want her to, because then I wont be able to hear her sing again. lol
If one of your favorites gets voted in, then will they sing anymore? I still want her to get in first though.
Anyways, GO CHANTEL, If not her, then the Sisters or A.J.
Spoilers belong only in the spoiler thread before midnight.

"It's very yellow," says Motoring's deputy editor Paul Hudson as he passes me the Megane Trophy's keycard. "But I think you'll like it…"
He's correct on both counts. The Trophy, or Renaultsport Megane 265 Trophy to give it its full, slightly ridiculous name, is extremely yellow, right down to its seatbelts. And, as a limited edition (just 50 are coming to the UK) version of the already excellent Megane 250 hot hatch, I liked it very much.
The Trophy combines all of the best bits of the fastest Megane, such as the limited-slip differential and pin-sharp handling, with a 15bhp power boost to take the total to 261bhp (the 265 in the title refers to the output in metric horsepower, PS). For this you'll pay £27,820, a £3,800 premium, which works out at £253 per extra horsepower...
If you can swallow that price, and presumably Renault has calculated there are 50 people in the country who can, the Megane has all the precision and excitement of a high end sports car, with the practicality of a four-seater hatchback and the potential of 30mpg fuel economy.
The ride, while firm at low speed, is superbly damped, so that you feel what's going on without ever being knocked off course. The turbocharged 2.0-litre engine is as hard charging as a mad bull and there's so much grip that you realise why Renault has included hip-hugging Recaro bucket seats (complete with yellow stitching, natch) as standard. Sensing how the Megane juggles traction between the front wheels around a tight, greasy corner and the speed this translates to is truly awe-inspiring.
If there's a downside to having such fun it's that you sense this is the car in which you will almost certainly lose your licence. Because when every roundabout becomes Paddock Hill Bend and every country road your own personal special stage, it's only ever going to end one way.
So, Hudson was right. I did like this car. But I think it's best if I'm not allowed to drive it any more.
Renault Megane 265 Trophy
Price: £27,820
Telegraph rating: Five out of five stars

A recession is where an economy that had previously been growing slows down. The level of production declines, unemployment rises and consumer spending dries up - in the worst case scenarios, as happened in the depressions of the 1930s and the 1980s, so few people are spending money that businesses sack staff to cut costs.
And is that what is happening now?
No, but Alan Greenspan, who controls American monetary policy, is worried that it might. To this end he has cut US interest rates.
How will that help?
The cost of borrowing becomes cheaper, which means that people who owe a lot of money (for example in a mortgage) have more cash in their pockets. Those who don't are more likely to take out loans. Businesses are able to expand with cheap loans, too, and create more jobs. Cutting interest rates also gives a boost to share prices since the money (interest) that an investor can make in a fixed rate bank account becomes much, much less than on the stock market.
Sounds great. Who even thought of raising interest rates in the first place?
Mr Greenspan again. For the last two years he has been more concerned about inflation, which can spiral out of control when borrowing is cheap. Unable to predict the rate at which prices rise, wage demands go up beyond the rate of inflation and businesses, now incurring greater running costs, pass on their wage bill to the consumer by putting up the prices of their goods - raising inflation.
So what does he do?
The US federal reserve, of which Mr Greenspan is the chairman, adjusts its interest rate to maintain healthy economic growth. More importantly in the context of a potential recession it tries to put an end to the cycle of boom and bust, which Mr Greenspan has probably seen enough of for one lifetime. He a was child in the 30s, became a White House economic adviser during the economic troubles of the mid-70s, and took up his present job just months before the 1987 stock market crash.
Will it work?
It will be months before we know - during which time the US economy could become still weaker. On the other hand, there is no guarantee that there would have been a US recession, and then a global recession, without Mr Greenspan's cut. Share prices rose after the announcement but, as brokers warn potential investors, they can also fall.
What will the effect be in Britain?
Share prices have risen, which will stimulate the economy, but the big test will be if the Bank of England (our equivalent to the US federal reserve) decides to cut UK interest rates when its monetary policy committee meets later this month.

EAEF To Build Largest Engineering Faculty In Somalia
Tuesday, April 30, 2013
Ads By Google
The East African Energy Forum has announced today in Mogadishu that it will build Somalia's largest engineering and geoscience faculty producing over 100 engineers by 2017 in partnership with Benadir University. The group which is comprised of Somali experts in engineering and natural resources, announced the plan in front of over 250 students and faculty at the university's Mogadishu headquarters.
"We have come here to announce our investment in our future and our young Somali students and to provide them with world class education rıght here in Somalia, this project will be complete by September 2017 God Willing" said Abdillahı Mohamud, the group's founder and director.
Preparing For Somalia's Natural Resources Future
The group's announcement comes at a time when the world's attention is squarely on Somalia's large untapped natural resources ranging from fisheries, petroleum and mining. Mr. Mohamud says the regulation of these foreign interests is something the group takes seriously.
"We are adamant on making sure the African resource curse does not occur in Somalia, and by ınvesting in a nationalistic and well educated Somali beauracracy to oversee this vital sector, we are attempting to shut the door on corruption and mismanagement"
Tabling Effective Legislation
EAEF's Mogadishu trip also included lengthy and fruitful discussions with the Somali Parliament and relevant ministries on a plan to regulate and lay down effective and nationlistic laws that will see Somalia's natural resources used to benefit the entire country.
Mohamud believes its time for all Somalis to look to themselves to change their country rather than relying solely on the government to do all the vital tasks needed by the country.
"This country deserves a long term vision and though. Somalia's resources belong to its people, and as such our task is straight forward, we want the absolute best for the country and we will always support only that which is in Somalia's national interest."

lost all audio somehow. or something. ugh.
Sun, 2006-04-16 00:01
hey. i was working in an OS X ardour session. lots of automation, all kinds of goofy stuff. anyway, ardour crashed. normally that's not the biggest deal. but, i hadn't had a chance to save after my last few tweaks. on restart, i'm presented with a dialog box stating that there was no click track. anyway, now there doesn't seem to be any audio when i try to listen to the session. very sucky. if i try to audition each recorded region, i can hear each individual recording just fine. is there any way to repair the ardour session file manually and restore the 'click track'? i've got seven tracks riding on it. please, any suggestions would help! thanks.

I love these pizzas
I've never actually liked a frozen, pre-packaged pizza. Then I got an Amy's. Blows away any corporate pie I've had, and it rivals a real pizzeria.
Anyone ever tried Amy's?
I'm not a vegetarian, but a friend who is, served a few at a kid's b-day party. Everyone loved it.
Totino's is OK but these trump all frozen Pizza's
I have never heard of amy's.
I went to the website http://www.amys.com/index.php and it seemed very interesting with the variety of foods offered. Even the pizza with rice, cornmeal and whole wheat crusts. Also the fact that is all organic is pretty neat as well.
i will have to see if the commisary has some of thier products. The compnay appears to support the troops.
Cool, Amy's pizzas are a buck more than the others, but well worth it. I only have pizza occasionally, but in a pinch, it's a nice thing to have in the freezer.
See. Totinos are $1.00-1.25. How much do these others cost? Cause, I think the price is what makes Totinos taste so good.

Amherst man killed in Pennsylvania crash on I-79
An Amherst man was among three people killed Friday afternoon in a head-on collision on Interstate 79 in Mercer County, Pa.
Robert J. Neubert II, 62, of Amherst reportedly lost control of his southbound car around 5:43 p.m. in Deer Creek Township, according to Pennsylvania state police, and for reasons unknown crossed into oncoming traffic. His car struck another car driving in the northbound lane. The northbound car flipped over the guard rail and landed on its side, according to the Associated Press.
Susan L. Thomas, 54, of Sewickley, Pa., driver of the northbound car, was pronounced dead at the scene. Her passenger, Mary Carmody, 44, also of Sewickley, was also killed.
Neubert died during the ambulance drive to the hospital, police said.
Mercer County is about halfway between Erie, Pa., and Pittsburgh.

UN funding is being used to run a brutal internment camp for the destitute in Cambodia where detainees are held for months without trial, raped and beaten, sometimes to death, former inmates have told the Guardian.
The Prey Speu facility, 12 miles from Phnom Penh, the Cambodian capital, is officially described as a "social affairs centre" offering education and healthcare to vulnerable people.
But human rights groups and former inmates say the centre is an illegal, clandestine prison, where people deemed "undesirable" by the government – usually drug users, sex workers and the homeless – are held for months without charge.
Men, women and children are housed together in a single building and are regularly beaten with planks, whipped with wires or threatened with weapons, according to witnesses.

BESIEGED by anti-government protests in Bangkok for the past three months, embattled caretaker Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra is facing another challenge in the countryside, from more than a million angry rice farmers.
Yingluck's Pheu Thai Party won the last general election in 2011 on a populist platform anchored by a pledge to buy every single grain of rice grown by farmers at above-market, fixed prices.
Two and a half years later, the government is now faced with a debt of about 100 billion baht ($A3.4 billion) to 1.4 million farmers who have yet to be paid for their main rice crop, sold to the government in October.
The main opposition party is boycotting the election, so Yingluck's party is expected to win comfortably even with the rice problems.
"Farmers in Phichit are apathetic about the polls," said Banjong Phichitwilailert, a community leader.
"The candidates haven't been campaigning here because they are afraid that they won't be able to answer our questions."
Thousands of farmers in Phichit, 310 kilometres north of Bangkok, are owed 7 billion baht for their crop, Banjong said.
"About 10,000 farmers were paid this week, but 40,000 are still owed money," he said.
In neighbouring Phitsanulok province, rice farmers' groups have given the government until Friday to assure payment.
"On Friday we will meet with the governor," said Piak Phusrithaet.
"If he doesn't guarantee payments we will either shut down City Hall or march on Bangkok. We have been waiting for our money for four months."
Yingluck's caretaker government is trying to arrange loans from commercial banks to pay the farmers before the elections but observers doubt the full 100 billion baht can be raised quickly.
Farmers are only one group causing a headache for the government over the rice scheme.
Earlier this month, the National Anti-Corruption Commission opened an investigation into Yingluck for failing to halt the scheme.
On January 16, it brought corruption charges against former commerce minister Boonsong Teriyaporn and 14 other officials for their involvement in the program.

The surprising extent of The Great British Bake Off's popularity has been revealed as Paul Hollywood claimed even international rugby players had sent him pictures of their cupcakes.
The judge on the BBC Two show has been credited with encouraging more men to take up baking, and his latest remarks suggest this includes even those one might least expect to show an interest.
Rugby players had sent him the evidence of their culinary efforts on Twitter, he said, and they appeared to know what they were doing too.
"The sponge looked very, very good," he said. "Bit of icing on the top. They were given to the team and went down very well."
He refused to be drawn on the identities or nationalities of the players, however, insisting he did not wish to embarrass them and joking that he did not want them coming after him.
In his new BBC One show, Pies and Puds, the 47-year-old searches for local recipes and native ingredients, describing the programme as "more real" than Bake Off.
But he hinted it had sparked in him a certain sense of frustration that high quality British food was being shipped abroad, while Britons were not able to buy it at home.
"One of the big things that surprised me was the quality of local food around the UK," he told Radio Times.
"I was fishing a mile off the coast of Fife for langoustines. They ship them out to Italy, Spain and France, where you will go on holiday and say 'That was the best langoustine I've ever eaten in my life - why can't we get this kind of stuff at home?'."
Hollywood also disclosed that due to stress he had lost more than a stone in weight while filming Bake Off, despite the culinary temptations on offer.
The baker, who left his wife of 15 years, Alexandra, 49, earlier this year, said he did not deliberately watch his weight but was careful about what he ate in the evenings.
While eating more during the day, he would drink lots of water later on and try to avoid heavy food after 6pm, he said.

Eiríkr Magnússon
Eiríkr or Eiríkur Magnússon (1 February 1833 – 24 January 1913) was an Icelandic scholar who was Librarian at the University of Cambridge, taught Old Norse to William Morris, translated numerous Icelandic sagas into English in collaboration with him, and played an important role in the movement to study the history and literature of the Norsemen in Victorian England.
Born in Berufjörður in the east of Iceland, Eiríkr was sent to England in 1862 by the Icelandic Bible Society,[1] and his first translations there were of mediaeval Christian texts.[2]
In 1871, with the assistance of Sir Henry Holland and of Alexander Beresford-Hope, MP for Cambridge, he became a librarian at the University of Cambridge,[3][4] where he worked until the end of 1909.[5][6] In 1893 he also became lecturer in Icelandic.[7]
Eiríkr lectured and organised famine relief for Iceland in 1875 and 1882[8][9] and fell out with Guðbrandur Vigfússon, a fellow Icelandic scholar who was at Oxford and had been his friend, over that[10][11] and his preference for modernised Icelandic in translating the Bible; Guðbrandur was a purist.[12]
Like many Icelandic scholars in Britain at the time, Eiríkr gave Icelandic lessons as a source of income; his first pupil was probably Sir Edmund Head in 1863, and he taught some by post.[13] Another was George E.J. Powell, who had supported him financially when he first came to England and with whom he translated Jón Arnason's Icelandic folktales and worked on a translation of Hávarðar saga Ísfirðings that remained unpublished.[14]
Most famously, he taught William Morris and collaborated with him on translating a number of sagas. Within a year of Morris beginning his studies with Eiríkr, their Story of Grettir the Strong was published (1869). In 1870 they published the first English translation of Völsungasaga. In 1871 Eiríkr and his wife accompanied Morris to Iceland, where Eiríkr went with Morris on a tour of "saga steads" and other places of interest.[15] Between 1891 and 1905 they published a six-volume Saga Library, which included Heimskringla and the first English translations of Hávarðar saga Ísfirðings, Hænsa-Þóris saga and Eyrbyggja Saga.[16][17] Eiríkr defended Morris against York Powell's criticism of his archaic style.[18] Volume 6 of the Saga Library, volume 4 of the Heimskringla, is an index that is entirely Eiríkr's work, published in 1905 after Morris's death.[19]
Eiríkr was married to Sigríður Einarsdóttir,[20] a descendant of Egill Skallagrímsson.[21] She campaigned to improve education for girls in Iceland.
He is buried in the Mill Road cemetery, Cambridge.

The file above didn't work for me.
I used WiiScu 0.23 via the HBC to update IOS61 with the setting -Truncha and updated to the latest version of the Shopping Channel at the same time.
WiiSCU - WiiBrew
That allowed me to then download the BBC iPlayer from the Shopping Channel as normal - USB LoaderGX tested and working OK afterwards.

Susan Hawk leaves Survivor after telling Probst off.
Susan Hawk didn't win either of the seasons of Survivor she appeared on, but she sure as hell left her mark on both. During the beloved reality show's greatest episode, the Season 1 finale, she absolutely went off on Kelly, calling her a rat and casting the deciding vote for Richard. Years later, when she returned for all-stars, she quit in epic fashion thanks to an alleged sexual assault that viewers still argue over to this day.
Was Richard's balls touching Sue's leg gross? Yes. Was it a reason to quit the game? That answer depends on who you ask, but Sue would sure as hell say yes. When asked about the incident, she stepped forward and belligerently screamed at host Jeff Probst for a solid minute before getting in a boat and leaving the show for the final time. The whole thing may have been unexpected, but for a woman who always prided herself on shooting from the hip, it was a strangely fitting way for her career on Survivor to end.

text: I rotated my wheels yesterday as the fronts are wearing out at an alarming rate. Anyway, fronts came off no problem but both rears were almost welded onto the hub. It took a fair bit of kicking and swearing to get them to shift. What surprised me was that they've gone like that in only 14 months and 9k miles. Hopefully the smear of copper slip on each hub will make it easier the next time. Luckily this was on my driveway in the sunshine and not on the side of some road at night in the rain. Worth checking yours before you're stuck with a flat tyre somewhere nasty. Dave

The idea to create a Mexican-Brazilian restaurant emerged on the beach of Ipanema enjoying the favourite Rio de Janeiro-pastime one afternoon in the summer of 1986.
Since 1981 we had a great Mexican-food restaurant, called Café Pacifico, in Botafogo a "barrio" in the Zona Sul of Rio and by that time we had made plans to set up another restaurant in Europe.
The thought of blending the two very different but still both very Latin and exotic cuisines of Mexico and Brazil together came naturally while brainstorming about our future restaurant.
And then the name popped up the same spontaneous way :
"What's the "Brazilian" word for tropic ?" : "Trópico" !
"And what's the word in Mexico for tropic ? " : "Trópico too ! "
So there it was : Trópicos !
The tropics, imaginary borderlines of temperatures and tempraments that run through Mexico and Brazil, countries where exotic tropical tastes blend together.
That hád to be the name for the new restaurant and we designed the logo in the Ipanema sand there and then.
6 months later we found a perfect location in the heart of Antwerp, Belgium's biggest harbourtown and Mexican-Brazilian Restaurant Trópicos opened it's doors some 30 years ago on April 16th 1987!
The rest is history....

Not only I can be a sponsor but I will be able to help with the script part of the package if you need. However since this package is part of the core of Debian, I prefer your taking over to be announced first in debian-devel (and thats why I am sending my reply to debian-devel too). Let me remind to the readers of debian-devel that currently there are two console packages in Debian -- kbd and console-tools. Console-tools has no upstream maintainer and because of this the Debian maintainer of console-tools has aready tagged several bugs as non-fix. The console utilities of the installer are entirely based on kbd and not on console-tools. Because of this kbd needs to be properly maintained. I requested adopter for this package because it was never my intention to maintain "kbd". The maintainer of "kbd" is the group "Console utilities maintainers" and when this group reduced to only one member (me) I had to take over. Anton Zinoviev

Blacks On Cougars***/*
Short review: There are a lot of pluses that come with getting older, and even though it may include a few wrinkles or maybe a gray hair or two, it's the fact that you're old enough to know what you want to pleasure yourself and exactly what it's going to take to get it. For these cougar babes, they have the bodies that will bring in the interracial rush of lust and that's just what they desire for orgasm!
Content Amount: Granted, the first glance at the overall count to this site as a stand alone will make you moan a bit, but don't feel despair yet, this site isn't that old and they're updating weekly as promised, staying true to their members. Bonuses help as well.
Content Quality: I am becoming a true fan of this network, they've done well in so many respects of quality display, such as user friendly navigation, clean presentation to their content, more than ample quality in videos and image galleries alike, just overall well done.

Take a look at the augmented reality demonstration below. As you watch it, think not of sand and water, but of cars moving through the drive-through lanes at your local McDonald's. This essentially is what Rainer Dronzek, director of operations research at the fast-food icon, asked attendees to do at IE's Predictive Analytics Innovation Summit in Chicago last week.
McDonald's is studying how to use augmented reality as a teaching tool for restaurant owners and operators. "The idea is to provide an immersive experience for somebody thinking about making a change to the restaurant," Dronzek said during his presentation.
Any video gamers out there are probably quite familiar with augmented reality. Others have probably stumbled across it in one app or another in their Web travels. Nonetheless, I dug out this description from a good Educause piece on what you need to know about augmented reality.
The goal of augmented reality is to add information and meaning to a real object or place. Unlike virtual reality, augmented reality does not create a simulation of reality. Instead, it takes a real object or space as the foundation and incorporates technologies that add contextual data to deepen a person's understanding of the subject. For example, by superimposing imaging data from an MRI onto a patient's body, augmented reality can help a surgeon pinpoint a tumor that is to be removed. In this case, the technology used might include headgear worn by the surgeon combined with a computer interface that maps data to the person lying on the operating table. In other cases, augmented reality might add audio commentary, location data, historical context, or other forms of content that can make a user's experience of a thing or a place more meaningful.
Augmented reality plays into McDonald's vision of moving beyond static models for delivering insight for decision making, according to Dronzek, who works at the McDonald's Innovation Center. A primary focus at the center, which he called a "factory for inspiration and profound knowledge," is to find ways of improving the business. That's a given, right? So is the fact that analytics would play a role. At the center, his team conducts lab testing and video analysis, and it builds plenty of models.
With a projector and an imaging system on top of an augmented reality app, it's looking at how it might show owners and operators how traffic flow would improve by, for example, replacing a single drive-through window with side-by-side windows. Before their very eyes, owners and operators would be able to see how the cars would move quicker, which means they would serve more customers and increase their revenue.
This type of simulation would particularly help operations research deliver a message to younger folks, "who are used to communicating differently." In this case, it would be delivering a message about unmet demand. Static models used to predict how a change would impact performance aren't always good at conveying the information in a way that owners and operators can absorb. "Many are unable to grasp how much money they're losing if they're not optimizing their staffing and changing other ways they run a restaurant."
As operations research turns to sophisticated tools like augmented reality, it's always thinking about the end recipient. Creating tailored models and personalized tools hastens adoption, Dronzek said. The ultimate aim is to "instill a diagnostic mindset."
