RaphaYad™ Bioenergy Treatment is the pioneering yet established energy treatment that is offered exclusively at our London Clinic & Distance Clinic. Senior Practitioner Joanne Cohen and International Bioenergy Treatment expert & founder Michael Cohen launched the clinic in 2002. Because the treatment is non-invasive it is therefore suitable for most adults, children and infants
If you have you been medically diagnosed? We recommend that for all serious medical conditions you should visit your General Practitioner. We then look forward to treating you with RaphaYad Bioenergy Treatment.
Some frequently asked questions about Bioenergy Treatment.
Why seek treatment? Most clients seek treatment because their body is unable to fully function, repair or heal to a heightened level.
-Why can't a person's body function at a heightened level? A person's innate functioning and healing mechanisms are dependant on how that person's body is currently configured and wired based on their life's experiences to date.
-Wired...Configured, what do you mean? Briefly explained...The human body has a circuitry system, which is composed of the electromagnetic fields produced from each cell, tissue and organ in the body1.
-What affects how your body is wired...configured? In short life's experiences... including your past history, traumas, issues, injuries, high's and lows. In fact, everything that you have experienced...the good, the bad and the ugly. From your childhood all the way through to your adulthood.
-How does it affect your body's functioning and healing mechanisms? All of your life's experiences affect the wiring and current configuration and as with all circuitry systems depending on how it is functioning will have an affect on how the physical body is currently performing, its ability to heal and repair. Whilst on a mind level it can affect the way we store information, recall memories and ultimately our perception of the world we live in.
-What is the downside? As with all circuitry systems the human body requires free flow of communication without any blockages or cross wiring. Because your life' experiences cause blockages and a breakdown in communication, the body finds itself working in an adaptive fashion unable to fully function effectively or efficiently. Neither can it repair on heightened levels and most importantly it cannot work as effectively on a preventative level.
-How can you move forward? Well the good news is that there is nothing permanent about how your body is currently functioning, the way it heals. Similarly on a mind level there is nothing permanent about your perception, what you think, know or do. It is just based on how you are currently configured.
-Do you need to delve into the past? No. Because RaphaYad Bioenergy treatment does not involve cognitive or talk therapy you do not have to journey into the past, the issues or the people. All we are interested is in how you are functioning today and your desire to move forward
-Is the treatment invasive? No and neither do we use any equipment. Treatment involves hands-on energy manipulation techniques.
So how can the brain be re-wired?
There are many academics2 who theorises about the plasticity of the brain, which are inline with our observations in the clinic. There is nothing permanent about the way the mind works or how an individual perceives their world. Whether it is emotionally, psychologically or intellectually nothing is set in stone. Just like we learn to stimulate our mind with education, the mind is plastic and can be rewired. Or as others may say, you can press some master rest buttons and loose some of your conditioning, learnt thoughts and perceptions
How can energy treatment affect the physical body?
Extensive research3 into the interactions of a practitioner and client have been undertaken. Research and trials were conclusive and re-affirms our 8000 hours of clinic work and own theories. Research3 into practitioner's bio-electromagnetic field interactions with that of a clients, have demonstrated that such interactions can have an effect on the cells, tissues and organs of a client. Thereby a practitioner can stimulate the innate repair and healing mechanisms of the client.

KAMLOOPS - The Thompson-Nicola Regional District has now made available a new Invasive Plant brochure explaining assistance program offerings for rural landowners.
The brochure will be available online at www.tnrd.ca, at all TNRD refuse sites and offices, as well as at the Southern Interior Weed Management Committee offices in Kamloops.
"Working together is critical to stop the spread of invasive plants," said Ken Gillis, Electoral Area "L" (Grasslands) Director and Chair of the Invasive Plant Committee. "These non-native and aggressive plants cause serious damage to our natural ecosystems and cost thousands of dollars in treatment."
A new way to report invasive plants is through the Report-A-Weed website, which allows residents to report weeds either directly to the website or through a free downloadable app.
The new Invasive Plant brochure includes information about biocontrol agents, which are now available for select weeds free of charge by calling the Southern Interior Weed Management Committee at 250.819.1699. Biocontrol insects are available on a first-come-first-served basis.
Landowners are also reminded that disposal of invasive plants is free when using specially marked disposal bags. These bags are now available at all operating TNRD refuse sites with supplies limited to 5 bags per request.
The TNRD would like to thank Gord's Maytag, which generously donated a working fridge to support insect collection and storage.

Nationals manager Matt Williams was on his way to the ballpark for Washington's day game against the visiting Dodgers on Wednesday morning, when he had to interrupt his radio interview on 106.7 The Fan in D.C. because he was rear-ended by a car that was involved in a police chase.
The 48-year-old Williams remained calm throughout the incident and even went back to answering baseball questions only moments after someone smacked into his Chevy Tahoe.

"Sorry guys, I just had an accident," said Williams, calmly. "I've got a police officer behind me. This guy's gonna try to escape. The guy's running. He just ran right into the back of me. I just got rear-ended by a guy in a car. Hold on. This guy's crashing into people. "I'm good," he later added. "There was a police car behind me, and a guy in a car, and he tried to get by me, and he just smoked me."
The beginning of Wednesday's game was delayed by rain, so Williams wasn't late. But he didn't seem too concerned about that.
"They don't care about me," he joked. "That's the strangest thing I've ever been a part of right there."SI WIRE: Orioles catcher Matt Wieters to have elbow examined by Dr. James Andrews

FLUIDISED BED COMBUSTION OF PROBLEMATIC FUELS IN A NEW TYPE OF CIRCOFLUID PLANTFunded under: FP1-ENNONUC 3C
There is a worldwide trend in heat and steam generation towards the replacement of high-grade fuels with fuels which have no other applications, such as anthracite and crude brown coals. In this context the combustion of flotation sludge is of particular interest. Within the Deutsche Babcock Group, work has been going on for a long time into combustion systems suitable also for low-grade and critical fuels. From the operational experience gained in such plants the Deutsche Babcock Group has been able to develop fluidised bed combustion intensively. Now over 150,000 hours of operational experience have accrued in Babcock plants employing fluidised bed combustion. 1,250 MW of thermal power output have been installed. It is against this background that Deutsche Babcock Werke AG has created a fluidised bed steam generation concept for the environmentally friendly combustion of coal - the CIRCOFLUID system. In order to assess the suitability of fluidised bed combustion - in particular the CIRCOFLUID system - for problematic fuels, a series of tests was carried out on an anthracite very low in volatile components, a very fine-grained crude brown coal and a residue from hard coal flotation with low calorific value and very high ballast content. This final report contains the results of these tests.

MADRID, Oct 13 (Reuters) - Spain's Gas Natural said on Monday it was leaving its 2015 payout plans unchanged after announcing on Sunday a $3.3 billion takeover offer for Chile's biggest electricity distributor Compania General de Electricidad (CGE).
Spanish oil company Repsol and lender Caixabank hold over 60 percent of Gas Natural shares between them.
The Spanish utility also left earnings forecasts unchanged, saying it expects net profit of around 1.5 billion euros ($1.9 billion) in 2015 and core profit, or EBITDA, of around 5 billion euros next year.
The acquisition will be through an all-cash offer of 4,700 pesos ($7.92) per share.
Analysts at Barclays said in a note that the acquisition seemed expensive and posed questions on the company's dividend policy. The Spanish firm is paying a 30 percent premium to CGE's closing share price last Friday.
"This acquisition might raise some concerns around (Gas Natural's) prospective capital allocation as in the latest business plan the focus of the company was more on cost efficiencies, organic growth in regions where Gas Natural has a critical mass, and sustainability of the dividend policy," the analysts said.
Gas Natural shares were down 0.8 percent at 21.62 euros per share at 0930 GMT.
The Spanish company has been looking to push further into Latin America, where it sees growth potential as European economies falter and tough energy reforms in its home market drag on profit.

ELYRIA — The city just wanted a new high-service pumping station at its Lorain water pumping plant. What it got was a project that dragged on for nearly three years and an arduous lawsuit.
A settlement approved by City Council on Tuesday night aims to allow for the completion of the project and puts an end to the civil case.
Law Director Scott Serazin called the agreement the best kind of settlement because neither side is happy. In the deal, Bay Mechanical, which was hired to complete the project, agrees to finish work by Nov. 7 and the city agrees to pay all of the money it has withheld for lack of work plus an additional $44,000 to cover a change order long approved for the project.
"A major goal for us was to get the project done," Serazin said. "This settlement achieves that. But I don't think anyone is happy. In fact, I know neither side is happy because we will never know what truly happened — if our design of the project was faulty or if it was the contractor's work."
Even with the additional $44,000 over the original contract, Serazin said he doesn't consider the settlement a loss. Litigation alone on both sides has cost thousands.
"We lost time, and that's more important," he said. "It cost us staff time from being in court and for that we are not happy, but Bay Mechanical also spent a lot of money on attorney fees, engineers and expert witnesses. We were set for a three-week trial before the judge ordered us into mediation."
Why the project failed may never be known.
Representatives from Bay Mechanical did not attend the meeting.
Serazin said the first issue came up in 2012 when it came time to put in the foundation for the building to house the new high service pumps. It sank almost two inches into the soil.
Almost immediately it set off a contentious relationship between the project manager and Bay Mechanical, which led Bay Mechanical to hire a second engineering company to come up with a plan to fix the building, which is something the city required before the project could continue.
"It was supposed to take 18 months to complete this project, but there were so many delays," Serazin said. "The city started to assess liquidated damages of $1,200 a day for every day it was delayed. Eventually, Bay Mechanical just walked off the job."
The pumps were installed in November and have been operational intermittently, Serazin said.
In the coming weeks, small fixes will be done by Bay Mechanical as well as connecting a new electrical system to the pump. Once the work is complete and the pumps have been tested, the project will close out.
Adding the new high service pumps at the water pumping plant was important for the city because it serves municipalities outside of Elyria including Amherst, North Ridgeville and the Rural Lorain County Water Authority.
"We are in a good position with our water plant," he said. "We have the capacity to pump more water. Our intakes are further out and deeper than other pumping plants, and we don't have problems like frazil ice."
Accumulations of frazil ice — needle-shaped crystals — in Lake Erie clogged pipes in the Avon Lake water plant in January and affected Elyria's water intake system in March.

You are here
This is how you'll road trip in the future
This is the Nimbus e-Car, a concept study that's so cute we want to hug it until it pops.
It's the brainwave of Brazilian designer Eduardo Galvani, and looks like the ultimate road-tripper to navigate the superhighways and national parks of outer space.
The design is captivating. There's a bit of lunar rover in there, a sprinkling of Land Rover Camel Trophy Truck, part VW camper and a not-so-subtle hint of deep-sea submarine.
If it were to be built - which there are no current plans to do so - we're told the orb-like structure would utilise carbon-fiber, titanium and aluminium to save weight and optimise energy efficiency.
Powering the Nimbus is a 180bhp electric engine hooked up to a micro-combustion generator, rather like the range-extender system in BMW's i3. It'll theoretically return more than 180 miles per gallon - more than enough to explore the future's most distant galaxies.
The Nimbus is also equipped with regenerative brakes (just like a Porsche 918) and solar cells on the roof to help power the fun bus's ancillaries (like an Aston Martin race car).
Four passengers fit in the fish-bowl cabin, and gaze out at the world through massive panoramic windows. There's even onboard Wi-Fi, so they can upload heavily filtered cameraphone snaps of whatever epic planetary landscape they're traversing.
If the driver wants to kick back, relax and see the beauty of whatever-the-hell-planet he may be on, the Nimbus comes fictionally equipped with Auto-Pilot and "a Gearless Automatic Velocity System with Hill Descent Control". We're not exactly sure what the second one is, but it sounds cool. And remember this thing only exists as pixels in a Photoshop file.
But that doesn't mean we don't want Eduardo to make this a reality. In fact, it's queue-jumped straight to the front of TG's Concepts That Must Be Built Now list. And hey, Eduardo, since you'll presumably not be watching the World Cup final next weekend, you've got plenty of time to make this real…

Just Brakes #604 Taking you for an unpleasant ride; you decide. Brandon, Florida
This is in response to an article in the St. Pete Times online article posted 22 June, 2004.
I had a wear indicator squeal from the front brakes of my 99 Blazer with 52,000 original miles on her. I go in to ideally change the pads all the way around the vehicle for their advertised price of $99. After inspection they tell me that my front disc rotors cant be machined due to them not being within tolerance. Remember, these are the original brake pads and rotors so anyone who has dealt with an honest mechanic (if they truly exist) knows that under normal circumstances, the rotors can be turned at least once. That was my first red flag. I even asked to see the micron meter readings and the tolerance specs from their own supposed documentation. He stated that hed have to look them up which naturally prompted me to ask, If you have to look them up, then how can you quote specs and tolerances just after the inspection. He naturally diverted the question to his technician who of course knows the specs from years of expertise. Due to the year of the truck, I decided to change out the front rotors. Meanwhile, naturally theres an issue with the back calipers not opening and closing The way theyre supposed to. According to the technician, they are suddenly sticking and a full brake line bleed is necessary at an additional cost of course. I grudgingly agreed and eventually had all disc rotors and pads replaced. I pay my $256.35 bill and depart (not too bad). I immediately feel resistance similar to the brakes are being applied. About five minutes later, I smell something burning. I pull over and notice smoke coming from my drivers side rear rotor. I call them back and the sales manager stated that it sounded like my caliper is sticking (foreshadowing maybe?). I slowly go back to Just Brakes and am subjected to the additional caliper fees and additional labor costs. Remember, there wasnt a caliper issue until I came to Just Brakes. My suspicion is that the expert technician intentionally installed the old calipers in such a way that would cause them to react the way they did.
While waiting on the new calipers from Advance Auto, I had a smoke brake (no pun intended) with the technician and we discussed my military career and pay / benefits and he also expressed his approximate annual salary. I say approximate because he divulged that the mechanic and I suspect the sales manager as well, make commission of part sales. Hmmm? Sounds like an incentive to embellish on what is actually needed to ensure your safe in the event that you actually need to use your brakes huh?
Oh yeah, they also have about a 25% mark up on parts from the auto parts store just mile down the road. I know this because I called Advance to check the price just to see how much more theyre charging. I even asked the sales manger if there is a markup due to delivery. He said, No, they deliver for free!.
I understand companies are in the business to make money, but deception or outright lying is inexcusable. This is one of those cases you wish you could scream from the proverbial rooftops to warn motorists who need work done! I guess this is what is known as wisdom. It would be wise not to go to Just Brakes again! :)
By the way, my final bill? When it was all said and done I was subjected to a whooping $658.38! A $99.00 brake service; I have a feeling that rarely happens. To their credit, in the commercial they do say something to the effect that additional fees may be required (more foreshadowing perhaps). Remember, At Just Brakes we really do, care! (about your money; additional fees and services may be required).
I wrote this to inquire if anything came about during the sting operation and maybe some sort of class action law suit that might have come about due to their unscrupulous practices?

Well, the tab itself... might be ok, BUT...
What's with the millions and millions of "Mix Table" -stuff? Huh?! I can't set the volume of instruments at all. They keep changing in every f*'n bar. And then the ports are set to "2", which in most cases means that the listener can't hear a thing unless they change it to "1", which is the default midi port and the only one that's been set up.
And why 2 bass tracks? You never use them simultaneously! That's stupid! If you have millions of those "Mix Table"-elements, USE THEM TO CHANGE THE INSTRUMENT! Or whatever... they seem to have the same instrument there. That's clever.
I don't know. This tab is a f*cking MESS. But I can't rate it before I see what's going on in the notation.

Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
I just moved in beginning of the month. Me and my landlord agreed I'd put the utility bills in my name. On the 2nd I asked her the name and phone number of the util. companies she used. On the 5th she txted me the info and asked when i could switch it. I told her that by the 8th (3 days later) I would have it transferred to my name. On the 7th I come home from work at 6:30pm and there's no power. I called her and she said she told the power company to shut it off on the 8th and THEY made a mistake and shut off a day earlier. I asked why she shut it off, I just had to transfer. She couldn't come up w an answer. I told her I'd call them the next day (the 8th) transfer to my name and get it turned back on. She calls the power company first thing in the morning asking them to get the power turned on. I'm at work, and she called my cell 13 times. I can't be on my phone. I'm a banker, I can never take a call specially with a customer at my desk. When I call the power co, they told me she had asked them to go turn the power on in the morning and when they got there she asked if the bill was already in my name and they said no, she told them to leave it off. So, when I called and transferred to my name on my lunch break they said they could only turn it back on the following day because they were booked and already went to the property and were sent away by her. Besides that she left her things (clothing, furniture) in the house for 12 days when she told me she'd get it out in four. She asked me to go to the house to grab something every day. After the power incident I told her I didn't want to stay here anymore. I don't want someone calling me 13 times while I'm at work, coming here everyday or leaving me without power for 2 days. She's been so rude about the whole thing, saying I was suppose to change everything to my name on the first, but she didn't even give me the info till the 5th! She tells me the power co told her she had to shut it off to get in my name. I put her in a conference call with the company and they told her straight up she was lying! Now I have to find a new place to move, come up with more money for dep and rent and wait 2 weeks after I leave to see if she gives me my deposit back. What can I do about this whole situation?

Peter Anholt is confident Kyle Chipchura will be wearing the Maple Leaf when Canada lines up for the World Junior hockey championships.
Anholt, head coach of the Prince Albert Raiders, knows Chipchura well.
He made the 19-year-old out of Vimy, Alberta, his captain. And he's counting on big things from his captain upon his return from the world juniors.
"Not only do I think he's going to make it, but I think he's going to be one of the captains," said Anholt. "I think that he's going to play on that team and he's going to be a leader on that team.
"I think (Canadian head coach) Brent Sutter thinks a lot of him and really holds him in high regard as far as being a leader on that team. I would be very surprised if he didn't make it and wasn't a leader on that team."
Had it not been for a severed Achilles tendon, Chipchura could already have been a world junior champion.
Last year, the Raiders captain was expected to be part of the world junior team before he suffered the injury in practice.
"I don't know if I would have been selected if I didn't get hurt," he said.
"But it would have been nice to get an opportunity to play on that team."
Despite the injury, Chipchura was able to return to the Raiders' lineup during the playoffs.
"His first reaction after the injury was that he was going to be back within three or four weeks," Anholt said.
"That was his first reaction, but of course we knew different. We knew it was going to be an extensive injury. But he was real positive through the whole thing and worked real hard to get back."
It's Chipchura's work ethic which should earn him a spot on the world junior squad. It's the same work ethic that could make him a solid National Hockey League player.
"Kyle is kind of a throwback to the old days as far as a player goes. He plays hurt, he's one of those guys that rallies players around him," Anholt said.
"Players love to play with him and be on a team with him. He's just one of those special guys, if you're a player you want to play with him."

NFL Preseason Schedule 2013: Week 4 Matchups, Predictions and TV InfoAugust 26, 2013
Week 4 in the NFL's preseason schedule means the regular season is right around the corner.
Many teams won't risk playing starters much—if at all—this week, to guard against freak injuries to key players. Instead, devoted fans will see a heavy dose of players on the roster bubble, as every team will be making significant cuts before the regular season begins.
The first cuts are set for Tuesday, Aug. 27, as teams have until 4 p.m. ET to trim their rosters from 90 to 75 active players. Some teams got an early jump on these cuts, and the big ones are yet to come.
The next cuts are set for Saturday, Aug. 31—just two days after the final preseason games. Teams have until 6 p.m. ET to cut the remaining 22 players down to the 53-man regular-season roster.
Needless to say, there will be some significant battles playing out on all 32 rosters.
Unheralded free agents, former first-round picks, undrafted free agents and players of all shapes and sizes will be fighting for their NFL careers.
As a result, the games played this week will likely turn into sloppily played affairs, and many casual fans are bound to turn off their television sets in favor of some other activity. But for die-hard football enthusiasts, Week 4 of the NFL's preseason is a chance to witness football at its most primal level.
Will versus will, force versus force and skill versus skill. Some players will rise to the occasion and earn a coveted roster spot while others will wither away and perhaps never be heard from again at the professional level.
With the regular season beginning on Sept. 5, all 16 games this week will be held on Thursday, and only two of them will be televised nationally.
Here's a look at the entire schedule this week, along with a prediction for each game. A few games will be highlighted for additional analysis below.
Philadelphia Eagles at New York Jets
Jets head coach Rex Ryan has fostered a circus environment in New York. His decision to put Mark Sanchez into the game in the fourth quarter of the team's third preseason game was a fireable offense, and he's lucky the team's starting quarterback wasn't more seriously injured.
As it stands, Sanchez won't play in the team's final game against the Eagles this week. He's recovering from a bruised right shoulder, as noted by ESPN's Adam Schefter:
The Jets started Smith in Game 3, and he played through the third quarter and into the fourth before matching Dan Orlovsky's infamous accomplishment by stepping out of the back of the end zone for a safety.
He got off to a smashing start in the first quarter, leading the Jets to a first-quarter scoring drive with a nice 22-yard touchdown pass to Ben Obomanu.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long.
Smith threw behind Ryan Spadola late in the first quarter and was consequently intercepted by Prince Amukamara—his first of three interceptions, each of which was uglier than the one before it.
By starting Smith in Week 3, the Jets essentially offered him the starting job on a platter. All he had to do in order to secure the position was not look like Sanchez, who has a history of horrible turnovers.
Instead, Smith played even worse than your typical Sanchez performance, proving that Sanchez does, in fact, give the Jets the best chance to win (as a legion of Jets fans cringe simultaneously).
But now, thanks to Ryan's head-scratching decision to keep the competition facade in place by playing Sanchez against scrubs while being protected by scrubs, Smith might be forced into action in Week 1 of the regular season.
Should Smith put together another performance against the Eagles like he did last week against the Giants, one can only imagine the media frenzy surrounding this team as Week 1 approaches if Sanchez can't play.
Conversely, if Smith puts together a scoring drive or two without turning the ball over, there will be no end to the circus surrounding the two quarterbacks as the season kicks into high gear.
It's hard to envision a scenario in which the Jets come out of this smelling like roses.
If anything, this team is headed down a dark, twisted road this season—hopefully, for the sake of Jets fans everywhere, Ryan's last.
The Eagles are a fascinating team to keep an eye on this year, too.
Chip Kelly's fast-tempo offenses will be a double-edged sword. Either the team will overwhelm opponents on offense or the team's defense will suffer miserably due to excessive time spent on the field.
Either way, the Eagles will be interesting to watch from week to week. In this matchup, though, all eyes will be on the New York circus.
New York Giants at New England Patriots
The Giants will be hard-pressed to rebound from a mediocre 2012 campaign, as injuries to key players could be too difficult to overcome.
Starting safety Stevie Brown, who was second in the NFL with eight interceptions a year ago, is out for the season with a torn ACL, as noted by ESPN's Adam Schefter and ESPNNewYork.com's Ohm Youngmisuk:
Of further concern is the team's offensive line, which has also been hit with injuries. Starting center David Baas and starting right tackle David Diehl are both out with injuries, and rookie Justin Pugh will be forced into duty earlier, perhaps, than the team wanted, as noted by Bill Pennington of the New York Times:
It's not all doom and gloom, however, for the Giants. Jason Pierre-Paul is finally off the team's PUP list, as noted by the team's official Twitter account:
If Pierre-Paul can get back to his 2011 form (16.5 sacks), then the Giants will be much more formidable on defense this year than they were in 2012.
On the other side, while there are plenty of young players trying to earn a roster spot, the only player most of America seems to care about is Tim Tebow.
Based on his first two performances this preseason, there's no way Tebow's spot on the team's 53-man roster is safe. Accuracy and vision have always been weak areas of Tebow's game, but he's doing bad on a whole other level these days.
Completing just 5-of-19 passes for 54 yards with zero touchdowns, one interception and three sacks, Tebow has looked completely lost during his two preseason appearances.
With final cuts looming, it'll be interesting to see how much time Tebow gets in Game 4. From an outsider's perspective, Tebow needs to pull off a legendary turnaround in order to lock down a roster spot.
Oakland Raiders at Seattle Seahawks
Normally, there would be no reason to highlight this matchup.
As one of the NFL's deepest and most talented teams, the Seattle Seahawks are Super Bowl contenders. The Oakland Raiders, on the other hand, appear to be front-runners for the No. 1 overall pick of the 2014 NFL draft.
However, there is a development brewing in Oakland that could spark some life into the beleaguered franchise, and it's one worth watching this Thursday night.
Quarterback Terrelle Pryor will get his chance to lay claim to the starting job, as noted by Schefter:
Matt Flynn, who was leapfrogged last season on Seattle's depth chart by then-rookie Russell Wilson, appears to be headed toward the same fate this season. He won't even play in Week 4, as he's resting his "sore arm," as noted by Vic Tafur of the San Francisco Chronicle:
Given the way Flynn was battered in the first three games behind Oakland's piecemeal offensive line (seven sacks and countless hits), it's not surprising that he's sore. That said, if you believe he's being benched this week because of a "sore arm," then I've got some beachfront property in Nebraska to sell you.
Pryor isn't a polished NFL signal-caller. He's raw and struggles to play with discipline.
But this is a young man who can make game-changing plays both as a passer and as a runner. Provided he doesn't pull a Geno Smith on Thursday, naming Pryor the starter to begin the 2013 season should be a no-brainer for general manager Reggie McKenzie and head coach Dennis Allen.
Flynn doesn't possess a strong arm and is a sitting duck in the pocket. With him, Oakland's offense won't scare anyone.
With Pryor, however, the Raiders can feature an offense capable of scoring on any given play. Not only will he foster an exciting brand of football for Raiders fans, but he'll also put much more pressure on opposing defenses than Flynn.
As a fan of offensive fireworks, I'm rooting for Pryor to seize the starting job. It won't be easy, though, considering he'll be playing against the indomitable defense of the Seahawks. With talent and depth oozing out of this roster, the Seahawks' second-string defense will be a formidable challenge.

This morning the government's plan to phase in a permanent banking levy were altered to bring in the levy in full straight away. It will bring in an extra £800 million as a one-off and, in the words of the Today program is, "Maybe not of a kick, more of a shove perhaps".
Although attempts to encourage an increase in bank lending are by no means over, the combination of those slow talks and the paying out of large bank bonuses, has not exactly been winning the banking sector friends in government, even amongst Conservative ministers let alone amongst Liberal Democrats.

|So you want to start your own new gang in GTAF? Well first of all it would be wise to check out the rules to this section (Forum Guidelines) with the most important one being to not flame and spam other gang's topics; the gang also needs to operate mainly from GTAF itself. So no external gangs whatsoever are allowed here. In addition to this, once you have a gang name, usually gang's put a tag next to their name. For example, The Crook Department's tag is [TCD] and the the Andolini Mafia Family has [AMF]; and these are usually put to the left of the topic title. Another good things to do is create a separate account (preferably as the gang name) that you use to make the gang's opening post(s). This way you can let other users edit and improve the front page; be sure to make reservation posts after the opening post, just in case you run out of space (posts have picture limits etc). Your gang doesn't have to cover all gaming platforms neither, if anything it is good to start on just the one you mainly play on, and once you become stronger it will be safe to expand, especially if their are proven members willing to run another platform for you. One last bit of advice; if you're serious of staying for a serious amount of time, maybe you would want to make a section for your gang over at the Gang Wiki here, and put your gang in the Gang List here.
|This should be thought out before hand, as it's good to think one step ahead and have a good looking gang immediately. Usually this gathers lots of praise by members therefore giving your gang much needed traffic. Every gang has their own design/theme that is constant throughout their services and graphics. For instance, if you had a gang based around the mafia, you would have graphics that represent that (example); small touches like member titles to accommodate this as well is a good idea (for example, the leader would be called The Godfather). Graphics do not need to be overly extravagant, nor do they need to be flashy. But a professional and tidy layout will equal brownie points among the active members in the Gang Section. Although it is obvious that every gang leader will not have such skills; and that is one reason I highlighted you should have a gang account so others can help. Or you could go to this forum GFX Requests that is full to the brim with talented artist who can make you some really sexy graphics absolutely free!
|With a new gang, brings brand new members. Usually new members to GTAF try to apply for new gangs (as long running successful gangs have waiting lists and high standards, meaning it's hard to get in). This is usually because they can get in the gang quickly and get a high member spot. It's this reason that many new gangs have lots of members that join and then vanish in a matter of days. So you will need to combat this. First of all, look at other gang's topics and see their method of applying and get ideas from them. Make sure that if someone is joining the gang that they have been on GTAF for some time and are known by at least a few GTAF members. If not, you will have to inflict some rules like many of the bigger gangs do. First off all, don't offer high positions in the gang straight away, be sure to make sure they work for it. Meet up with them regularly (in games) and look at their (leadership) skills and take it from their. Also, it is good to have some form of probation. This is to stop any old random user being in your gang. After they've proven they're loyal to the gang, and are active, then you can promote them to a full gang member. If you find it hard to get members, here is a topic full of applicants: click.
|So of course graphics alone aren't going to entice the GTAF members into the gang. So the front page looks nice, but what now? Well it is good to have perks for being in the gang. These can range from a custom Facebook group all the way to a private forum. Use this site to create an amazing website for the gang (click) and here for your own private forum (click). The 'GTA.NETWORK' which includes GTAF has it's own irc server of which you can can use for your gang, which you can check out here. Although sites and the way of communications are just bonuses. It's good to have unique and original things in the gang that haven't been implemented into other gangs yet, so if you have a new idea don't be afraid to use it. And if anything, if another gang also implements it, then it's a form of appreciation and not plain out 'copy catting'; gang awards are an example of this. Members who join gangs more than often will be looking for a gang that is active in a certain game[mode], and to have matches with other clans. If you want to prepare for this, you must make sure you tell people what games you play in the opening post(s) and join clan competitions that take part in the Events Forum here. This will get your gang noticed by other gangs, garnering more traffic and members. This could lead to allies, which is our next section..........
|An Allie is a fellow gang that is close to you and will help you out during clan battles and with any other problems you may face. Usually you will be allied by just playing with a gang in a tournament, and then you becoming close friends. Sometimes, your gang doesn't have the sort of chemistry or outlook that other gangs are looking for meaning it's hard to make Allies. On the other hand, you may have a long serving member in your gang which they recognize, and then you could be befriended through them. So what if you're finding it hard to become allies (harder on PSN and WLID due to the lack of people with mics) with a gang? Well there are ways to combat this. First of all, play allot with a specific gang, and take part in their competitions. If possible become friends with some of their members and talk to them on things like MSN and meet up on a game regularly. This way the gang will begin to notice, and acknowledge you. You could also make a post in their topic that is related to their current discussion and worm your way in from their; gradually becoming comfortably with their members. If you still however don't get allied no matter how close you are, make a simple suggestion that you want to become Allies. Just remember to not go into a random gang you have never met before and for example say something on the lines of "hia, guyz. Wanna be allies 4eva?!". This will make you and your gang look unprofessional and distanced form other gangs, as the other gang in question is sure to have allies as well. So anyone they know will be against you as well. What's good about having an Allie as well is that they will give you more traffic. Usually they will put a link to you in their opening post and signatures, meaning people looking for a gang maybe redirected to you that way; and you should also do the same. So overall having an Allie is a good thing. But be warned, if you're deliberately setting out to do this, make sure it's an active well known gang and not a relatively new gang like yours. You could also create enemies, but more often than not this is just for fun and making the gang scene more realistic. For instance, a Triad gang may have a new Yakuza gang down as an enemy. But this is usually out of fun, meaning you might actually have friends in the opposing gang; so don't go in their topic and cause an argument. One rivalry was brought back to life between The Exiles and AOD recently, but even though enemies because if this they have know befriended people in each others gang. So a rivalry can be a healthy thing.
|As already linked, the Event section is relatively new itself but it is a good way to garner attention. Many gangs host their own competitions here. DDZN host their various competitions here, and they are quite famous for them now. So if you was to mention the Turf Wars competition, more often than not a gang member will know what you are talking about. So it's good to run a competition to grab people's attention. It doesn't have to be an original idea however, although you should get more graphics, which means going back to the GFX Forum if needs be. Make sure to update it regularly and keep it neat. If you don't want the burden of making an Event however, maybe a willing gang member will do one for you, thereby proving their relationship with your gang. In addition to this, you can also join other events already running, like the Gang League 2009 which is being run by the Yardies very own Andy Serb. Nearly every well known gang is fighting in this (everyone likes a bit of competition), meaning you will no doubt be taken more seriously by the bigger gangs of GTAF. Also regarding this, if you want to make it apparent that you want matches but don't want to join big competitions and don't have allies either, check here as it's a good way to get other gangs to face you.
|There are many ways to advertise your gang, with Allies being highlighted already as being one of them. Most gangs also have signatures for Allies for them to wear and give you traffic. It is also advised that you have sigs for your own members to brandish. The more active the member the better, as the more they post around the more people that will see and notice your gang. For this reason, make sure the sig explains who/what you are and that they look professional. Another way, is via the GTAFNewsletter. The GTAFNewsletter has over 120+ subscribers and is usually realised every Sunday/Monday; I offer a advertising spot in it for just 2 s. If you want to advertise in the Newsletter, read up about it here, or just PM me your advert to go in the GTAFNewsletter with the payment of 2 s (PM Me). And with so many readers, it is a good way of gathering much needed attention from other users.
|I know that was a bit lengthy for some, but it is hard to create a successful running gang. With around 95% (made up statistic) of new gangs ending up rotting in the gutter or moving elsewhere. These rules are in-depth as they are, as I want to give the most detailed and helpful advice possible as to avoid such a thing from happening as regularly. It upsets me to see so many promising gangs with good ideas and features being swept aside under the Gang superpowers because members forget the fundamentals. I hope you enjoyed this, and if you didn't read those big ass lumps of text, then check out the links below for simpler and more upfront info in the respected fields.........

Consumer prices posted a small rise in August, but outside of a big jump in volatile gasoline prices, inflation was essentially flat.
Consumer prices edged up 0.3 percent in August, matching the July increase, the Labor Department said Friday. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, showed no increase in August.
The 2007-2009 recession and the weak recovery since have banished inflation as an immediate threat. Sluggish demand is preventing most businesses from raising prices and high unemployment is keeping a lid on wage pressures.
Over the past 12 months, core inflation is up just 0.9 percent, matching the lowest 12-month gain in 44 years. Overall prices are up a modest 1.1 percent during the past 12 months.
Analysts said that those who are fortunate enough to have jobs and stable finances are in good shape because prices are stable and earlier fears of deflation have mostly faded.
Businesses are not raising their prices because they don't want to scare away the few customers they have. Many economists predicted this period of low inflation could last for several years.
Still, the absence of inflation hasn't prompted Americans to spend enough to greatly improve the economic picture, and that's unlikely to change in the short run. A separate report by the University of Michigan/Reuters poll of consumers said consumer confidence took a sharp dip in September.
The absence of inflationary pressures has given the Federal Reserve room to keep interest rates at record lows for nearly two years in an effort to jump-start economic activity. Fed policymakers meet again on Tuesday and are expected to keep their target for the federal funds rate at zero to 0.25 percent, where it has been since December 2008.
The August and July increases followed three straight months of price declines. Those declines had raised concerns that the country could be facing a threat of deflation, something that has not been a problem in the United States since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
With overall prices rising again and the economy posting signs of emerging from its summer swoon, worries about deflation have decreased. But some economists say a mild bout of deflation is still a possibility if economic growth remains weak and unemployment stays high.
If that happens, "inflation will keep falling and eventually deflation, albeit probably a mild Japan-style one, will set in," said Paul Ashworth, senior U.S. economist for Capital Economics.
Sung Won Sohn, an economist at the Martin Smith School of Business at California State University, said the economy is not fully utilizing its factories and workers. With less being produced and fewer people employed, business are selling fewer goods and they cannot raise prices. Sohn thinks it will take four or five years before inflation becomes a threat again in the United States.
For August, energy prices rose 2.3 percent following a 2.6 percent July increase. Both gains had followed three straight months of energy price declines. In the past two months, gasoline prices have been increasing and were up 3.9 percent in August.
Food costs rose 0.2 percent in August after having fallen 0.1 percent in July. Last month, prices of meat, poultry, fish and eggs were down. The cost of fruits and vegetables increased.
Outside of food and energy, clothing costs dropped 0.1 percent and airline fares were down 0.1 percent with the weak economy keeping inflation at bay in most areas.

Nielsen's mobile web statics show that, from July 2008 to July 2009, the demographic groups of 65+, female and 13-17 showed the most usage growth. The least? 18-24 year olds, who are all up in this mobile web already.
Also equally interesting: we have a higher percentage of male readers than the NFL, the NBA or even MAXIM. More women look at softcore boobies than look at gadgets! [Nielsen]

After appeal, Upton's hit vs. Dickey stands
After appeal, Upton's hit vs. Dickey stands
Had it been successful, R.A. Dickey would have had New York's second no-hitter in franchise history, but the appeal was upheld by Major League Baseball on Friday.
Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon said he believed the original ruling was the correct one.
"I'm sure if there was another hit in that game, nobody woulda said, 'Let's go back and review that and see if it was a one-hitter,'" Maddon said. "I understand why they would do it. We probably would've done the same thing."
Dickey was dominant from that point on in the first inning, retiring the next 22 hitters before an Elliot Johnson grounder forced David Wright to commit an error in the ninth. Two passed balls and a fielder's choice later, Dickey gave up his first run of the game.
Mets manager Terry Collins said after that game the chances of having the hit later turned into an error were "less than five percent."
"Honestly I thought it was a fair call based on how the ball was hit, how it was rolling, the barehand away from him, the fast runner," Maddon said. "There was a lot of components that indicated it was a hit."

It's a dessert … it's breakfast … it's pain perdu. It's one of the sexiest things you can make from bread. And if you didn't know its potential, you might totally pass it by.
Literally translated as "lost bread," it's often made from day-old slices thought to be of little use to society in their current state. But pain perdu is no lost moment. And it knows exactly what it's doing: namely seducing with thick, buttery slices. But where pain perdu truly gets its oomph is with the addition of Cointreau. It's an important breath of boozy citrus, and definitely worth adding in.
It's also an easy way to feel quite pleased with yourself first thing in the morning. After all, it's pretty much French toast, just a bit boozed and buttered up. Though, you still have to be careful. Yes, it's true I made this for breakfast ... on a Tuesday. But the self-satisfaction lasted precisely until I ran my fingers through my hair and realized I had honey in it.
This is an important lesson, folks. While pain perdu may be easy to make, one has to remember his or her personal Kryptonite. (Which, for me tends to involve sticky sweeteners ... and making brioche.)
Luckily, it's hard to mess up such a simple item. Egg and butter typically taste pretty good. Even with honey in your hair.

The closing football game of the Orange Bowls regular season was more reminiscent of that Ned Beatty scene from Deliverance than a day with a pigskin. Fortunately, today's FedEx Orange Bowl promises to be better. And by better, I mean totally badass. The Virginia Tech Hokies face off against the Kansas Jayhawks. Dont be mislead by the teams pussy names, the monikers of the players more than make up for it: Dexton Fields, Victor "Macho" Harris, Tyrod Taylor. See? Badass.

But there's also this: the Jayhawks No. 2-ranked offense averages 44.3 points per game and features some lightning-fast players, and their coach could swallow a Christmas ham whole. The Hokies, meanwhile, have Beamerball, which sure does sound like something acquired during an unfortunate dodgeball injury, but is in fact not. It's actually what you call college football's No. 2 ranked defense. So, No. 2 offense meets No. 2 defense? It's badasserys perfect storm.

Attention-Catching Animation Features; Blur & Sharpen Techniques Page 2
Working In Animation Shop
Once in Animation Shop, you can set the time delay for the frames of the animation by right clicking each frame and clicking Frame Properties. If you cannot see all of the frames, use the scroll bar at the bottom of the frames window, or maximize the window and decrease the zoom to 1:3. When setting the time delay, time is measured as 1/100 sec.
I like to let the blur gradually unfold and then hold the final image still for a couple of seconds. So, I set the delays for each of the first five frames to 50 (1⁄2 sec) and the delay for the last frame to 250 (21⁄2 seconds). Note that you can set the delay for multiple frames by control clicking them, then right clicking and clicking Frame Properties.
The final step before saving the animation is to optimize it, which means to compress it into the GIF format using optimal settings. One option is to click File>Optimization Wizard, but the best option is to click View>Preview in Web Browser. This option accesses the Optimization Wizard, enables previewing the animation in your preferred browser, and provides a report comparing the original's file size and download time with the optimized version's file size and download time.

The Quality vs. Size slider sets a series of options, which you can then fine-tune by clicking the Customize button (#5). It's always best to start with the slider set to "Better Image Quality" and then fine-tune using the "Customize" option.
Clicking the Customize button accesses the Optimization Wizard's advanced features. These are divided into two tabs, the Colors tab and the Optimizations tab. For your convenience, I'll recommend typical settings below. The options that I'll use work best for this file, but may not work best for every file.
The Number of Colors should always be set to the maximum of 255 colors (#6). Select "Optimized Median Cut," as this typically produces the best color reproduction. The Nearest Color option will provide the best combination of color reproduction and file size.
For best results, click the Optimizations tab and select the first three options, then deselect the final two options (#7).
Finishing Up
When you've finished selecting options, click Next to allow the Wizard to optimize the file. When complete, it will report on the file size and download time for the optimized GIF animation (#8). If you're not pleased with the results, you can click Back to start the optimization process over, or click Finish to view the optimized file in your web browser.
If you're not pleased with the results when you see them in your browser, you can undo them by closing the Preview in Web Browser dialog box and clicking Edit>Undo Optimize Animation. If you are pleased with the results, click File>Save As and save the animation in the GIF format.
The final results of my animation are shown in #9 and #10.

text: Designer Faces: Dolce & Gabbana\\nSpring 2014\\nDolce & Gabbana once again turned to Sicily for inspiration, this time transforming models into rosy-cheeked Mediterranean beauties.\\n\\"Sunny, hot, rich, and beautiful,\\" is how makeup artist Pat McGrath described the typical Sicilian look. That all translated to luminous skin, golden lids, and flushed cheeks.\\nComplexions were evened with __Dolce & Gabbana Make Up Perfect Luminous Foundation__; McGrath faked a vacation glow by going a shade too warm. Famous for mixing hues backstage, she chose colors that echoed the designers' botanical inspirations: [Dolce & Gabbana Luminous Cheek Colour in Apricot,](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/blush/2013/dolce-gabbana-blush-apricot) [Rosebud,](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2011/dolce-gabbana-blush-rosebud) and __Peach.__ McGrath built the color in layers, applying it lightly across the eyelids, chin, and hairline, and more heavily on cheekbones. \\"As you get more tan, you put blush everywhere,\\" she said.\\nA blend of yellow- and rose-gold eye shadows (from the [Dolce & Gabbana The Eyeshadow Smooth Eye Colour Quad in Golds](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/eye-shadow/2012/dolce-gabbana-eye-shadow-quad-golds) and [Desert](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/eye-shadow/2012/dolce-gabbana-eye-shadow-quad-desert)) played off the metallic tones in the collection—\\"I wet the shadow to make it darker and flattering on all skin tones\\"—and strong brows were created by feathering __Dolce & Gabbana Brow Liner__ with a spooley brush. Instead of using white eyeliner, McGrath drew a nude cream liner along the inner rims for a more natural \\"awake\\" look.\\nMaybe it was a metaphor for the blossom appliqués on so many of the dresses: Models' lips looked like blossoms, filled in with a mix of __Dolce & Gabbana The Lipstick Classic Cream Lipstick in Bellisima__ and __Traviata__ dabbed onto mouths with fingers.\\nPreparing for a Dolce & Gabbana show is special for hairstylist Guido, who loves the \\"exquisite, feminine, and ultrabeautiful direction\\" of the collections, citing the Romanesque coin belts and hair accessories. Even the shape of the hair recalled a Fellini film: \\"This is how the Romans wore their hair, softly shaped in the back with a messy middle part.\\"\\nGuido texturized hair with [Redken Guts 10 Root Targeted Volume Spray Foam](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/hair/volumizer/2012/redken-guts-10-volume-spray) and braided it into a soft updo. To soften the style, he applied [Redken Powder Refresh 01 Aerosol Hair Powder/Dry Shampoo](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/hair/dry-shampoo/2012/redken-powder-refresh) and used a tong to style gentle waves along the hairline. To create a similar effect at home, apply dry shampoo to your hands instead of your head, then pat your hair gently, focusing on areas where oil naturally builds up, like the hairline, and run excess product over your eyebrows.\\nSometimes less is more. And on a runway full of Dolce & Gabbana's ornate dresses, neutral nails, painted in __Dolce & Gabbana The Nail Lacquer in Pure Nude,__ made sense.\\nAn army of woman warriors closed the show—a tradition Dolce & Gabbana has upheld for years.

Obscured Identity
Paintings by Meegan Pearce
Artist statement
Playing dress-ups starts in childhood, wearing other people's old clothes, costumes of our favourite characters and themed birthday parties are all part of fantasy and escapism. As a child dressing up is seen as a game but it teaches us about characterisation and perception. Wearing different outfits influences the way we are perceived and how we should behave in the right clothing. Dressing up continues into adult life often without us realising. We change our clothes and our image for different occasions. Our work, casual, formal and social life requires a different look. As adults we take dress ups a lot more seriously and do not see it as a game because of what we fear might happen if we get our costume wrong.
This series explores the relationship between the little girl and the post adolescent woman, emerging into the world of uncertainty.
What is expected of women in today's society? Are we still expected to marry and have children? Housewife seems like a dirty word. What about our career and financial independence? Are we really equal to men yet? At what point does the innocent little girl inside of us disappear and the adult emerge?
In life-sized paintings, female characters are dressed up in adult costume, which are versions of little girl's fantasy or storybook figures. I have tired to use characters that were not only associated with my generation's childhood but also my mother's and possibly grandmother's childhood and will continue with children into the future, for example, fairies, rag dolls, Alice in Wonderland.
The faces of the women in costume are concealed, leaving the viewer uninformed about their true identity. Strategies to conceal include silhouetting, fabric or hair over faces, not painting a face in and censoring the face. Hiding faces turns a person into an anonymous figure. You cannot see her facial expression, only her pose, leaving the viewer to fill in the blanks.

text: Interest in the European cruise ship repair market is currently focused on which shipyard will win the $31.3 million contract to repair the 1968-built, 70,327-grt cruiseship Queen Elizabeth II, owned by Cunard Line. There are currently three shipyards shortlisted for the work — Bremerhaven's Lloyd Werft, Hamburg's Blohm + Voss Repair and the U.K.'s A&P Southampton. The contract is expected to be awarded soon, with the drydocking dates scheduled for between November 12 and December 11. Now part of the Carnival Cruise Lines (CCL) group, Cunard has also announced the drydocking programs for two other cruiseships in its fleet — the 1973-built, 24,492-grt Vistafjord (to be renamed Caronia), which will dock between November 20 and December 20, and the 1987-built, 37,845-grt Royal Viking Sun (to be renamed Seabourne Sun) during October 29 and November 29. The majority of work to be carried out at these drydockings will be changes to the passenger cabins and passenger facilities, with work being controlled by interior design consultant Robert Tillberg. No news on which shipyards will carry out the projects have been announced. Meanwhile, during late April, A&P Southampton, part of the A&P Group which also has yards in Falmouth, Tyne and Chatham, docked P&O Cruises' 69,153-grt flagship Oriana for refit work. The refit saw the ship in the yard's famous King George V Drydock, which was built during 1933 to accommodate the super liners of its day, including the Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Mary. She was at the yard for two weeks, with work including inspection/testing, repair and maintenance work, which was carried out in line with the standards of P&O. The project secured work for around 150 workers and created a further 75 jobs for the yard as well as for up to 400 sub-contractors who were carrying out 'hotel' maintenance work, including both accommodation and public areas. Carrying on with repairs to cruiseships, Lloyd Werft has won the $5.5 million contract to carry out refit work onboard Norwegian Cruise Lines' (NCL) 76,049-grt cruiseship Norway. Duration of the project was scheduled for three weeks, and included engine, shaft and propeller overhauls and hull painting. Meanwhile, Lloyd Werft has announced that in talks with Italian cruiseship operator, Costa Crociere, it plans to lengthen two of its cruiseships next year. The yard has taken up initial talks, but no details had yet been worked out. This type of work has become a specialized sector of the industry for the yard, with Lloyd Werft already completing several similar projects for NCL, with the 32,396-grt Norwegian Majesty, the 50,760-grt Norwegian Wind and the 50, 764-grt Norwegian Dream all undergoing lengthening work. In addition, Airtours' 1,600-berth cruiseship Sunbird (ex-Song of America) has now docked at Merseyside's Cammell Laird shipyard for a $10 million pre-service refit and refurbishment contract. Work included the addition of nine penthouse suites and outfitting of soft furnishings in cabins and public areas. The ship, which was purchased from RCCL, will join the Airtours fleet in the Mediterranean at the end of May, this year. She is scheduled to be renamed in Palma on May 28 and will become the flagship of the U.K. cruise operators fleet. With regards to the general repair market, Shell has decided to award the re-activation project of its 68,122-dwt LNG carrier LNG Lagos (ex-Nestor), which has been laid-up in Loch Striven for over 20 years since she was built by Chantiers de l'Atlantique, St. Nazaire, during 1976, to French shiprepair yard Sobrena. The ship is being re-activated for Shell's Nigerian project, which will be the ship's first ever commercial cargo, and arrived in Brest during the first week in May, following a tow from Loch Striven. The vessel is expected to be at the yard for three months. During the latter part of April, this year (1999), there were nearly two million dwt worth of vessels undergoing repairs at Dubai Drydocks, UAE, with IMAC's 298,324-dwt VLCC World Creation, Olympic Shipping's 273,856-dwt VLCC Olympic Breeze, Ceres Hellenic's 413,117-dwt ULCC Kapetan Hiotis, Sosema's 269,047-dwt VLCC Licorne Pacifique and Bergesen's 322,446-dwt ULCC Settebello all drydocking for repairs. Meanwhile, competition continues between Dubai Drydocks and Bahrain's Arab Shipbuilding & Repair Yard (ASRY), with the latter also drydocking a number of very large tankers. Enquiry levels at ASRY have been noted to increase towards the second quarter of this year, and the yard has already been awarded a wide range of vessels for repair in April, May and June. Among these vessels include France Shipmanagement's 306,999-dwt VLCC Picardie and the 300,000-dwt ULCC Luxembourg, ICB/Wallem's 285,690-dwt VLCC Sabang and Jahre-Wallem's 285,506-dwt VLCC Mountain Cloud. During the past couple of weeks, the deal by which YVC Holding takes over the Wilton Fijenoord (WF) shipyard in Rotterdam, has gone ahead. WF is one of two large shiprepair/conversion yards in Rotterdam owned by Wilton Fijenoord Holdings BV, part of the RDM Group — Verolme Botlek being the other shipyard. The Schiedam-based shipyard (WF), following a period of re-organization, will now be known as Rotterdam United Shipyards (RUS). The facilities sold to YVC include three graving docks of 42,000-dwt, 40,000-dwt (covered) and 160,000-dwt capacity and the smaller of the two floating docks, which has a capacity of some 38,000-dwt (this dock, it is understood , will be placed on the sale and purchase market by YVC). Wilton Fijenoord Holdings, which will also continue to own Verolme Botlek, will retain ownership of the larger of the two floating docks, which has a capacity of some 90,000-dwt, and will also offer this unit on the sale and purchase market. At present, it is understood that Croatia's Viktor Lenac shipyard is negotiating for this facility. The covered graving dock has been used by WF for large scale repair and conversion work. It was originally covered as part of WF's contract to build a series of submarines for Taiwan. The subsequent supply contract of spare parts for this submarine contract has been retained by Wilton Fijenoord Holdings. YVC currently operates two shipyards in Rotterdam, YVC Bolnes, operating in the repair and conversion markets, and YVC Ysslewerf, in the newbuilding market. It is the intention to centralize all repair activities at Rotterdam United in Schiedam, a process which is expected to take up to a year to complete, and will involve the transfer of two floating docks from YVC Bolnes (25,000-dwt and 18,000-dwt capacity respectively) to Schiedam. It is also the long-term objective to transfer the newbuilding activities from Ysslewerf to Schiedam. The two workforces, 140 employed at YVC Bolnes and 250 at WF, will be amalgamated. Throughout the past decade, WF has concentrated solely on the general repair market, while Verolme Botlek, with its large 295 ft. (90 m) wide graving dock, has had the advantage of being able to gain contracts from both the offshore and conventional shipping markets. In the Far East, the official opening ceremony of Hyundai-Vinashin Shipyard (HVS), which is a joint venture company between South Korea's Hyundai Mipo Dockyard (HMD) and the Vietnam Shipbuilding Industry Co. (VISC), took place on April 26, this year. Before the opening ceremony, HVS accommodated its first vessel and carried out repair work to the owner's complete satisfaction, before the ceremony was conducted. The first vessel was the 29,693-dwt Panamanian-registered bulk carrier Olympic Mentor, owned by Springfield Shipping, an affiliate company of the Onassis Group, Greece. The 1984-built ship underwent sandblasting and painting of cargo holds, diesel generator repairs and general repair work. Apart from this contract, the yard has another five ships expected to dock in the near future, and a further 30 vessels are under discussion, hoping to follow the next batch of ships. HMD, in line with its long-term strategy, Vision 2000, designed to become a leading company in the 21st century, entered into a joint venture with VISC establishing a shipyard in Vietnam and had a ground breaking ceremony during November, 1996. During the construction period of the yard, Tran Duc Luong, the President of Vietnam, accompanied by his ministers, visited HVS last October (1998) and leading figures of government including the Prime Minister in May, last year, confirming a high interest from the local government. HMD expects that the lower labor costs will meet the requirement of the shipowner and favorably compete with Singapore and Chinese shiprepair yards. Furthermore, HMD believes that HVS will strive to satisfy various needs of worldwide shipowners and managers with HMD guaranteeing high quality and extensive services. It is understood that around 100 HMD foremen and 900 Vietnamese workers are working together on this project. HVS is currently considered as one of the largest shipyards in the South East Asia region, outside of the Singapore area, with two drydocks of 40,000-dwt 1,246 x 213 ft. (380 x 65 m) and 80,000-dwt 853 x 147.6 ft. (260 x 45 m) vessel capacities, a 996 m long repair quay, and four sets of jib cranes (one of 80 tons, two of 30 tons and one of 15 tons). HVS plans to diversify its activities into the shipbuilding arena from 2004.

We all know the sport of rallying is an off-road one, but we didn't think it was this far off the beaten track.
When we saw this video on the interweb, we just had to share it with you.
It's of Petter Solberg getting it a little bit wrong during last weekend's Rally de France – the ninth round of the World Rally Championship.
Solberg, driving his Ford Fiesta WRC car, seems to lose control and finds himself careering into a field.
But the Norwegian continues to plough through the field and into another one taking out telegraph poles along the way. And spectators scatter in fear of being electrocuted.
Solberg, who won the 2003 WRC title in a Subaru Impreza, was eventually placed 26th, while arch-rival Sebastian Loeb won his ninth world title.
We apologise for the French commentary... let us know what you think below

"1/2 my heart is in Afgahnistan." Her husband is serving overseas. Plus its an awesome way to generate sympathy with jurors.
Thanks! I thought that might be it, but could never catch the last word.Originally Posted by Cheops;3891429;
No one should have to dance backwards for all of their life.
Please... Russell doesn't respect anyone but himself.Originally Posted by Magnum;3891368;
Coach Ken: "Kid, you make this kick and you die a legend."
Curt: "Can I pee first?"
I agree. Showing respect toward women is totally different than using manipulation and fear to "keep them in line" so that you can control them. Russell's whole game plan is to CONTROL the game. That is why he weakened his OWN tribe by pouring out water, burning socks and hiding the machette.Originally Posted by CuckoosNest;3891850;
The women that Russell has targeted for elimination had one thing in common. He could not control them. They dared to stand up to him. These women were not always the strongest players, but these women just weren't buying this crap. In fact Russell only wanted to take Natalie to the end with him because he DID NOT respect her.
Neither Sandra nor Parvati are playing the same game as Natalie did, so it will be interesting to see both these woman work their magic on Russell. He is already beginning to see that he is losing control with Parvati. And he is giving Sandra absolutely NO RESPECT.
Sandra is smart. She takes in everything that is happening and being said. She votes to get herself further in the game.
She knows when to speak and when to keep quiet. She also has some of the best one liners.
I've grown to really like Sandra, and won't be surprised if she wins this again to go down in history as the first survivor to ever win twice. She is actually an excellent player. Although she sucks at challenges, she is brilliant in every other aspect of her play. Subtle, but making key moves when she has to. Staying under the radar as much as possible (and more importantly getting away with it.)
I love her at the end last night when Russell says, are you with me or against me, she says very very casually, "I'm against you Russell."
Oh, I absolutely loved that scene too. That was during the preview for next week, I believe. The best part is, she didn't seem remotely intimidated or cowed, like he would like her to be, just matter-of-fact, "I'm against you" Russell. BTW I hate that phrase, "you're either with me or against me" - ugh.Originally Posted by ActMax;3896618;
Sandra became my favorite player of all time after watching her masterful performance on Pearl Islands, and that's only been re-enforced here some 5-6 years later. I mean I'll see people say "well she hasn't done anything this season" and it makes me wonder what game they're watching. Just because someone is more under the radar and quiet rather than flashy and belligerent that doesn't mean they aren't playing. Well, sometimes it does, heh, but not with her. She's come so close twice this season to pulling off the major move like she did in Pearl, but Candice screwed her over once and the Heroes not believing her about Russell did it the other time. She's so much smarter than she's given credit for. Watching some of the videos on CBS.com I'm so impressed with her. There was a video posted today I believe where she gives her personal read on Colby, and it's spot on. The woman knows the game, knows the players, and she knows her strategy down to the final detail. So under stated and under the radar while she does it all too. She's so much more than her lippy mouth. I mean essentially her strategy always puts her where the numbers are. What better way is there to win?
I am loving the way Sandra is playing the game, and she IS being SUBTLE in her moves. IMO she has played the best game so far, and Russell just continues to dismiss her as being any real competition for him.
Who else could tell Russell "I am against you" and not feel the wrath of Russell? Sandra isn't a physical threat in the challenges so Russell (in his mind) is just bringing her along until he feels he no longer needs her. She has been relegated low man on the totem pole by Russell and is expendable at his discretion.
I can't wait for Sandra to play her HII. She is smart to have not told anyone that she has it.
