Lesson for Tories is 'win votes of women'
DAVID Cameron was urged by Tory MPs yesterday to learn lessons from Barack Obama's election triumph over Mitt Romney and woo woman voters.
Female support will be vital to his quest for an overall Conservative majority at the next election, he was told.
Senior backbencher Bernard Jenkin wrote on Twitter: "Conservative Party please note! Obama had 18 per cent lead amongst women. Absolutely decisive!"
Many Tory MPs shared his view that the Tories under Mr Cameron need to do more to win female votes.
Other Tories urged the party leadership to learn from the Obama team's energetic campaigning style.
Tory MP Philip Davies, a leading member of the new Blue Collar Conservatism group which is seeking to attract more working-class votes to the party, said: "From what I have seen, the real advantage that Obama had was being a good campaigner with a great operation on the ground, building support in local communities.
"It was striking how many more campaign staff the Obama team had out on the streets compared to Romney."
From what I have seen, the real advantage that Obama had was being a good campaigner with a great operation on the ground,
Tory MP Guy Opperman claimed that Mr Romney lost the election because of his "lurch to the Right" which meant abandoning the "middle ground" of US politics to win support from the low-tax campaign group the Tea Party.
The Prime Minister welcomed the victory and acknowledged the President as "my friend".
Mr Cameron was one of the first world leaders to hail Mr Obama's success.
In a statement released by Downing Street he said: "Congratulations to Barack.
"I've enjoyed working with him, I think he's a very successful US president and I look forward to working with him in the future."
Other Tories were less enthusiastic. Former minister John Redwood said: "Now what matters is how he tries to heal the raw feelings of disagreement in his country, and how he starts to tackle the debt mountain and deficit he has created."

I need some help with timing in c++. I have never used any ting that needed a timer. I don't evan know if their is a timer for C++. Please help.
You'll find the standard functions in ctime (time.h). You can find other functions in other libraries, such as platform SDKs, etc... Do a board search too.
Hmm...not sure exactly what you need to be done.
There's a variety of time functions:
Halts the program for n number of milliseconds
ULONG ticks=GetTickCount();

Ok, last explination was bad. In C++, I think any program you will need a timer in, will probably have some form of main loop. What I would suggest doing, is using either the libraries mentioned above, or something like SDL, which has timing functions that are fairly precise. Best idea is simply have a vector of "jobs" you cycle through at the begining or end of the loop, and check them against the current time to see if they are ready to go, by checking if their schedualed time is less then or equal too the current time.
EDIT: ah, the libSDL site is working for me again, one sec and Ill check for any links on their timers.
Ok, found it, check this link http://www.libsdl.org/intro/usingtimers.html

If this was bipartisanship," Barney Frank sputtered after Democrats lost yet another vote in the House Judiciary Committee, "the Taliban wins a medal for religious tolerance." But as long as awards are being handed out, Frank should get an Emmy for standing in front of the TV cameras and managing to look so surprised. It didn't take last week's string of straight-party votes--on everything from which evidence to release to the ground rules for impeachment--to prove what most of Capitol Hill already knows. Clinton's fate lies in the hands of one of the most doggedly partisan committees in all of Congress....

OSHKOSH - A Green Bay Packers Hall of Famer joined hundreds of people in Oshkosh on Saturday to raise awareness about suicide.
Chester Marcol, who was kicker for the Packers for nine seasons, is the namesake for the "Chester Marcol 5k Run/Walk for Suicide Awareness."
The event helps bring attention to an issue that has personally affected Marcol's life. His father and youngest brother both died by suicide.
In 1986, Marcol tried to take his own life. He has since dedicated himself to giving hope to others, who find themselves in similar situations.
"The number one priority in my heart is to provide hope for people who feel hopeless, who feel sad, who feel depressed," said Marcol.
The walk raised money for local organizations in the Oshkosh area. It also provided people with information about mental health and suicide prevention.
This was the fourth year for the annual event.

The Song of the Exile.
The Song of the Exile.
Oh, here I am in the land of cotton,
The flag once honored is now forgotten;
Fight away, fight away, fight away for Dixie's land.
But here I stand for Dixie dear,
To fight for freedom, without fear;
Fight away, fight away, fight away for Dixie's land.
Oh have you heard the latest news,
Of Lincoln and his kangaroos;
His minions they would now oppress us,
With war and bloodshed they'd distress us!
Abe Lincoln tore through Baltimore,
In a baggage car with fastened door;
And left his wife alas, alack!
To perish on the railroad track!
Abe Lincoln is the President,
He'll wish his days in Springfield spent;
We'll show him that Old Scott's a fool,
We'll never submit to Yankee rule!
At first our States were only seven,
But now we number stars eleven;
Brave old Missouri shall be ours,
Despite old Lincoln's Northern powers!
We have no ships, we have no navies,
But mighty faith in the great Jeff Davis;
Due honor too we will award,
To gallant Bragg and Beauregard!
Abe's proclamation in a twinkle,
Stirred up the blood of Rip Van Winkle;
Jeff Davis' answer was short and curt
"Fort Sumpter's taken, and "nobodys hurt!"
We hear the words of this same ditty,
To the right and left of the Mississippi;
In the land of flowers hot and sandy,
From Delaware Bay to the Rio Grande!
The ladies cheer with heart and hand,
The men who fight for Dixie's land;
The "Stars and Bars" are waving o'er us,
And Independence is before us!

Since Jewelry World owners Tom and Kathleen Cole have had to move their old-fashioned truck out of the Sun Valley shopping center parking lot where their store is located, they said sales have decreased.
The Coles' 1937 Chevy truck with wooden sides advertising their jewelry store had to be removed from the shopping center parking lot on Main Street after a new property management company said it was not in compliance with the lease and the county sign ordinance.
Kathleen Cole said sales were down 30 percent during September.
"We think that correlates," Cole said.
A lot of people who drove by on their way to Julian or the desert would see the truck and its signage and stop in at the store, she explained.
Cole and her husband, Tom, have been trying to find out if their truck complies with the county sign code and whether it is considered mobile signage. However, after questioning Ramona Design Review Board members at their Sept. 29 meeting and talking to four staff members with county code enforcement, the Coles still don't have any answers.
What they have found is local support for their truck that is often loaned out to promote community events and is decorated for the holidays. Besides receiving favorable comments from design review board members, Cole said she has about 300 signatures on a petition that supports allowing the truck to remain parked in the shopping center lot.
"The community response has just been fabulous," said Cole. "I'm really surprised how many people consider that truck part of Ramona."
While the Coles continue to search code compliance information, Kathleen Cole said they are checking with other businesses in the center to see if they will support the truck, and in return the Coles will offer its use to them.

Contractors should make every effort possible to make sure that their customers are satisfied. From the article, the customer sounds pretty peeved. Sorry, but that doesn't just come out of the blue. I have a hunch that the contractor knew early on that the client was unhappy. What effort did the contractor engage in to correct the situation? The contractor should have the right to respond to negative reviews. Business is business. If you want to stay in business, you have to make sure that your work is of professional quality and that your customers are completely satisfied. Yeah, that can be difficult to maintain, and you may even lose money occasionally. So be it. If you don't think that's fair, then go work for someone else. But a 3/4 million dollar lawsuit because an unhappy customer voiced an negative opinion of your work is outrageous.

I confess I have something of a soft spot for Tzipi Livni, for two principal
reasons. Firstly, and it's worth remembering, she could and would have been
prime minister had she given in to Shas's extortion and continued the government
she inherited from Ehud Olmert on the back of increased funds for haredi
(ultra-Orthodox) yeshivot and schools. That she preferred to stick to her
principles was admirable, and a marked contrast to the man who did become prime
minister.Binyamin Netanyahu often acts as though being in power is the
end rather than the means.

Signs that are too small or unclear to consumers seem to be a growing national issue, leading some business owners to lose potential customers, according to University of Cincinnati Marketing Professor James Kellaris.
"This persistent, growing national problem is frustrating for consumers and can lead to loss of business and, by extension, loss of tax revenue for the community," Kellaris said.
Kellaris, the James S. Womack/Gemini Chair of Signage and Visual Marketing in the UC Carl H. Lindner College of Business, will present this research during the October 10 -11 Fourth-Annual National Signage Research & Education Conference (NSREC) in Cincinnati.
Through a UC analysis of a market research survey of North American households, Kellaris found that inadequate signage could be construed as a communication failure.
"About half the population surveyed in 2011 has driven by and failed to find a business due to signage and communication failure," he said.
While communication failure affects all groups and ages, the study found that women experience signage communication failure more than men.
Shoppers, Kellaris noted, favor signs that are visible, legible and informative, but those preferences contradict current trends of smaller, more uniform signs, using non-verbal symbols/icons.
Kellaris said that shoppers are drawn to unfamiliar stores based on clear, attractive signs, and that often, these stores convey personality and character as perceived from signage quality.
The resolution, Kellaris says, "is to find the right balance between the interests of shoppers, businesses and the broader interests of the community."

The hallmark of Bernard Ebbers, known almost universally as Bernie, was his brash, swaggering style — and he leveraged it at WorldCom...
NEW YORK — The hallmark of Bernard Ebbers, known almost universally as Bernie, was his brash, swaggering style — and he leveraged it at WorldCom to become one of America's most celebrated CEOs.
Yesterday, hunched over a table in a federal courtroom, the 63-year-old Ebbers was reduced to steady tears, a sniffling that microphones picked up and broadcast to the observers packed in behind him.
His beloved business had long since been shattered, and now his life was, too — a 25-year prison sentence handed down by a federal judge for his role in the eye-popping fraud at WorldCom.

After it was over, and Ebbers had been ordered to report to prison in Mississippi in October, there were more tears: His wife, Kristie, came to his side and embraced him tightly. They cried together as the room emptied.
The devastating sentence was handed down just days after Ebbers agreed to fork over almost all his worldly assets — as much as $40 million worth — to settle with investors.
Even his lawyer, Reid Weingarten, appeared to tear up as he pleaded with Judge Barbara Jones for leniency, citing Ebbers' heart condition and his considerable, often anonymous, charitable works.
"If you live 60-some-odd years, if you have an unblemished record, if you have endless numbers of people who attest to your goodness, doesn't that count? Doesn't that count particularly on this day?" Weingarten said.
But the judge handed down the stiffest sentence imposed on a U.S. executive since the fall of Enron in 2001 touched off a record-breaking wave of business scandals.
Even with possible time off for good behavior, Ebbers would remain locked up until 2027, when he would be 85.
The sentence came four months after Ebbers was convicted of overseeing the $11 billion WorldCom fraud — much of it a pattern of chalking up expenses as long-term capital expenditures, which are classified as assets.
"I find that a sentence of anything less would not reflect the seriousness of this crime," the judge said.
When the fraud at WorldCom began to come to light, it reduced shares of stock once worth more than $60 to mere pennies. Billions of dollars in market value vanished.
Mississippi-based WorldCom filed for bankruptcy — also the largest in U.S. history — in the summer of 2002. It has since re-emerged under the name MCI, with headquarters in Ashburn, Va.
Gino Cavallo, an MCI service consultant who worked for years at WorldCom, lost tens of thousands of dollars in retirement money in the fraud. He attended the sentencing and said he was pleased.
"The man's 63," Cavallo told reporters. "He's going to die in jail. How much sterner could you get?"
The sentence completed a staggering fall for Ebbers, whose homespun manner and hard-charging business style earned him status as an admired chief executive and the nickname Telecom Cowboy.
The former basketball coach helped start a small long-distance reselling business in the early 1980s, then gradually built it into a business titan by swallowing ever-larger companies, eventually even MCI.
Jones ordered Ebbers to report to prison Oct. 12 and said she would recommend he be assigned to a low-security prison in Yazoo City, Miss., so that his family could see him easily.
But the judge said she would take written arguments during the next six weeks on whether she should allow Ebbers to remain out of prison while he appeals his conviction, a process likely to take at least a year.
She imposed the 25-year sentence after a two-hour hearing in which defense lawyers and federal prosecutors debated exactly how much money was lost because of the fraud, a key factor in determining the penalty.
The defense had argued it was impossible to find whether investors had sold WorldCom stock in 2002 directly because of the fraud, company personnel changes or the generally poor economy. The judge was unmoved.
"This was not a minor fraud," Jones said. "Mr. Ebbers committed a fraud that caused numbers of investors to suffer losses. His statements deprived investors of the truth about WorldCom's financial condition."
The judge could have imposed an even stricter sentence had she found that Ebbers committed perjury when he testified in his own defense.
On the stand, Ebbers told jurors he never knew of the fraud. Asked about documents he reviewed that showed highly suspicious financial figures that tipped off the fraud, Ebbers said, "I just didn't see it."
Jones said it was not clear Ebbers had committed perjury, and said jurors could have believed his testimony and still convicted if they believed based on Ebbers' "conscious avoidance" of the fraud.
"Sheer hell"
The judge also heard briefly from Henry Bruen Jr., a former high-ranking sales executive at WorldCom. Bruen said he lost his job in 2003 and has been unable to find work since, putting him through "sheer hell."
"Where do I get my life savings back from?" he demanded. "Or my career reinvigorated?"
Jones did not impose a fine or seek restitution, partly because of an agreement late last month under which Ebbers will forfeit nearly all his personal assets to settle a civil suit filed by aggrieved investors.
Under that settlement, Ebbers' wife will be left about $50,000 of Ebbers' assets and a modest home in Jackson, Miss. A far more lavish family home in Brookhaven, Miss., will be sold off as part of the settlement.
"Simply put, justice was served," said New York state Comptroller Alan Hevesi, the lead plaintiff in the civil suit against WorldCom, which has racked up $6 billion in settlements.
The 25-year term is the harshest yet as corporate executives have been paraded through American courtrooms in a series of eye-popping business scandals that have cost investors untold billions.
A former finance executive of Dynegy, Jamie Olis, is serving 24 years in prison for his role in a fraudulent accounting scheme at the Enron-linked energy company.
And last month, Adelphia Communications founder John Rigas, 80, was sentenced to 15 years in prison for his role in the looting and fraud at that company. His son, former finance chief Timothy Rigas, got 20 years.
Two top executives at Tyco International convicted of stealing from company coffers are awaiting sentencing in August, and three top Enron executives go on trial in Houston early next year.
5 more await sentencing
Ebbers is the highest-ranking of six WorldCom executives and accountants who were charged by federal prosecutors in the fraud. The other five face sentencing later this month and in early August.
Among them will be Scott Sullivan, the former chief financial officer under Ebbers, who admitted carrying out the fraud but said he did so on Ebbers' orders.

A.J. Pierzynski Tried To Frame Another Pitch That Bounced

Braves catcher A.J. Pierzynski is getting good at this—though he hasn't made it work quite yet. Keep at it!
The Braves took a wild 9-8 victory from the Giants with a two-run, 12th-inning walkoff shot from 30-year-old rookie Adonis Garcia, and they wouldn't have made it that far without catcher A.J. Pierzynski's ninth-inning, two-out, two-run bomb. But nothing was more fun than Pierzynski trying to frame a pitch that bounced…
I do not envy the hardy fans who watched all 6:27 of the game between the 43-63 Rockies and the 44-61 Cubs, including 12 straight scoreless innings. But those who did stick it out saw something rare: Chicago catcher John Baker pitched a scoreless top of the 16th, and became the winning pitcher when he scored the…

Pirates backstop Russell Martin doesn't want to be a catcher. It's boring. You have to crouch all game. You never get to run around.

Go Even Wider
MicroShift makes it wide. Be it vocals, synths, guitars, backing vocals or whatever you choose to run through it, MicroShift uses this classic studio trick to spread out, thicken up, or give a new space to any track you hit with it. Of course, the SoundToys spin takes it beyond the original with the new FOCUS knob that lets you push and widen specific ranges without affecting the rest of the track. Amazing for adding "shimmer" to a vocal, or "air" to a guitar. Control of the detune amount, delay, and a mix knob let you tweak the effect to fit just right in the track. MicroShift combines the classic sound of the hardware with new advanced features, and an intuitive interface. Simply huge.
A Bit of Micro-Shifting History
The technique has been around since the early days of pitch-shifting, using devices like the Eventide H910(x2), H3000, the AMS DMX 15-80, and all the way to plug-ins like our own SoundBlender and PurePitch. The idea is fairly simple, small amounts of delay and or pitch-shift panned hard left and right. The formulas are all a bit different on all the devices, but the effect is essentially the same. It adds a width, space, depth, and thickness to vocal and background vocals. Of course it's been used on lots of other things but that's kind of where it started. It's also still a vital part of most mix engineers' "bag of tricks." Oh, and let's not forget the guitars. It was also used by guitarisst to get crazy huge walls of sound, and bring solos out front (where they should be).
A Little Taste is All You Need
You also get Little MicroShift. Of course, it's anything but little. It adds width, space, and spread to any track, just like its big brother, but with a simple, straight forward interface. Still giving you those three sought after micro pitch-shifting sounds from the classic gear that made the technique famous. Little MicroShift puts them right at your fingertips.
Adds spce, depth and presence
Affects specific frequency ranges
Great for guitar

Former Afton resident plans 'Open Carry Tea Party' in Hudson
It's going to happen.
Gun rights activist and former Afton resident David E. Olson of Glenwood City has announced that an "Open Carry Tea Party" will be held the afternoon of Oct. 17, a Saturday, at Lakefront Park in Hudson, Wis.
The purpose of the event is for people to exercise their First Amendment rights to free speech and assembly and their Second Amendment rights to own and carry firearms, Olson said.
After holding an open carry event in Glenwood City on Aug. 23, Olson told other media outlets that he was planning a similar event for Hudson in mid-October.
A Web site with information about the Hudson event, www.donotinfringe.org, urges people to: "Come exercise your liberties affirmed by the 1st and 2nd Amendments. Stand against the path to socialism!"
The logo from President Barack Obama's election campaign is used as the O in socialism.
The Web site says "attendees are encouraged, but not required, to wear a holstered sidearm to exercise their God-given right to self defense."
The site also contains a list of confirmed speakers for the event, including Hudson Mayor Dean Knudson, Twin Cities talk radio host Sue Jeffers and seven others.
Olson said in the phone call that he had attempted to get former rock star Ted Nugent to speak in Hudson, but Nugent plans to be hunting at that time.
Olson also has invited all State Legislature representatives for western Wisconsin, gubernatorial candidate Scott Walker and Minnesota Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann to speak at the Oct. 17 event. It will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Lakefront Park band shell.
Education about Wisconsin's gun laws is also a purpose of the event, Olson said. He said he'll display large copies of Wisconsin's gun laws like he did at Glenwood City and a TEA (Taxed Enough Already) party in New Richmond.
Olson is a labor manager for a construction company. He grew up in Maplewood, Minn., and lived in Afton for 14 years before moving to Glenwood City, where he has resided for 14 years.

2007 Chevy Silverado - Prodigy
Chassis By Aaron Does It Again
At first glance, this truck may not overwhelm you. If not, the team at Chassis By Aaron have completed their mission. This truck build was designed from the first CAD drawing to dominate fullsize Chevy trucks without standing on a soapbox to do it. Clean, mild, and elegant may come to mind, but under all of the niceties is a truck begging to be driven hard. Showcasing the talent of shop owner and truck builder Aaron Iha, this truck does everything at an exceptional level. Subtlety is the name of this game, but be careful when looking too hard as this truck may leave you scratching your head.
Carey Crews is a business man who knows what he wants. When it came time to own a radical yet simple fullsize truck, he went to his local Chevy dealer, picked up a new '07 Silverado and with only 26 miles on the odometer drove it straight to Chassis By Aaron. Upon arriving at the shop, Carey and Aaron began discussing the customization process and the overall goal of the build. Carey was quick to turn the reins over to Aaron and let him run wild with the truck. The end result would leave both men feeling accomplished.
Aaron went to work doing the preliminary build process including working up a CAD drawing on the computer of a full frame, list of parts needed, and of course, contacting the World's Leading Truck Publication. What materialized on his computer screen was a frame that was made out of CNC 3x4-inch boxed 3/16-inch thick steel with beautiful crossmembers that would allow Aaron to reuse the factory control arms, aiding in ride quality and alignment. What really stood out was the wild rear three-link suspension setup comprised of rails that go underneath the axle giving the rearend a floating look. With the details ironed out, the welders were warmed up and sparks began to fly. The end result was even better than on screen and several parts were chromed, the entire frame powdercoated, and the chromed rear three-link with reversed wishbone turned out amazing. Other custom touches included using 1/4-inch stainless steel tubing for the air suspension, brake lines, and crafting an aluminum fuel cell. Mac Springs supplied the Contitech airbags, KYB shocks were used up front, chromed Chassis Tech shocks were bolted onto the rear, and ASCO valves were used front and rear to adjust the air from the Air Zenith compressors. A subtle yet very custom touch was the mounting of the air switches on the driver seat where the power seat adjustments once resided. The look is factory and selecting the ride height couldn't get much easier.
With the air out of the 'bags, the body firmly rested onto the Covina pavement. An initial success, but laying body on stock 17-inch wheels isn't very exciting. That's when a phone call to Lexani wheels was placed and a set of Lexani LX-6 26x10-inch wheels were ordered. Keeping the wheels protected and providing traction for the truck is Nitto NT-420s tires sized 305/30R26. Now with the air out of the 'bags everyone was stoked and the body caressed the ground tucking half of the 26-inch wheels in the process. Mission one accomplished.
Moving to the body, no stone was left unturned, but the guys didn't want something loud and obnoxious. Starting with the bed, the entire stock bed floor and walls were cutout and new steel sides and floor welded into place. Some 80 hours of TIG welding later, the Chassis crew had a custom bed with a large oval cutout to showcase the rear suspension, each bedwall had sweet metal stampings to look OE along with handmade wheel tubs, and the tailgate was welded shut with a metal roll pan added. The truck was then delivered to L&G Enterprises in San Dimas, California, where Theresa applied the House of Kolor paints. House of Kolor green and grey were applied in a simple two-tone manner with a small triangle graphic on the driver door. Nothing fancy for the paint scheme, this truck doesn't need a soapbox. While she was at it, Theresa also sprayed the wheel inserts for the Lexani wheels and installed the Precision billet grille. Small touches go a long way. After seeing the truck for the first time, Carey was excited to see his Silverado looking great. It took some convincing, but upgrading the interior was the next big investment.
Carey explained to Aaron that he wanted a luxurious interior that reminded him of his Range Rover. Aaron accepted the challenge and dropped the Chevy off at Rogelio's Upholstery in Baldwin Park, California. The team at Rogelio's began the interior transformation by first removing the front seat's headrests and chopping the seats down 3 inches. The rear bench seat was cut into two pieces and sewn back together as two buckets. All the seats were covered in light grey leather with double stitching and perforated inserts. A matching headliner was wrapped in light grey leather and even the door panels and lower dash were covered in leather. The upper portion of the dash was painted by L&G in matching House of Kolor green. This splash of color is just what Carey was looking for.
With the truck at the interior shop, Aaron was busy welding together a 16-gauge steel sub enclosure to house the Memphis Audio 10-inch subs. Memphis Audio amps behind the back seats power the subs and the Memphis components in each of the four doors. A Kenwood head unit provides the signal for the tunes and one thing you won't find are any monitors. Elegance without opulence is an overstatement.
The final mission for the Chassis team was to dress up the 5.3L engine compartment. This was achieved by creating an aluminum engine cover with dimple die stamps and machined holes. Trick aluminum inner fenders were also fabbed up, along with a completely welded aluminum pressurized coolant overflow tank, and Spectre intake with filter. Several aluminum brackets were also created to give the engine compartment a clean and factory look, but with the far-from-factory 26-inch wheels resting under the hood. All that was needed now was to get the Silverado looking it's best, and the guys spent a day with Glare Products polishing and waxing the Chevy to a shine.
The day came for Carey to come take his keys back and he did so with a huge smile on his face. Without question the truck surpassed his expectations. Hearing rumors of another fullsize '07 Chevy tucking 26s at SEMA '07, the guys just laughed, as there were no shortcuts in this build process, no jagged pieces trimmed to make something fit, and no BS. This truck is legit and all-new. As a location scout for his 9 to 5, Carey was able to track down an out of this world location for his own shoot, and frateful. Be on the lookout for more wild trucks rolling out of the Chassis By Aaron shop doors as rumor has it, sparks are still flying.

Why Are Gas Prices So High?
from R.C.

When the nation experiences the pain of rapid price increases it does not take long for people to grow angry at the oil companies. They become the scapegoat. Those slightly more sophisticated may give the oil companies a pass, but blame oil speculators, or futures traders. Neither, however, are to blame. Keep Reading

Written on: 13/03/2013
I have had a Beko freezer since 13.4.10. It performs its freezing duties admirably.
However in recent months I have found that two pinhead-sized rust spots had appeared at head height on the door. I was sad about this but shrugged it off. The door looked fine front on, but this week I had reason to be on my knees in front of it picking something up, and as I looked up at the door I could see that the entire door seemed to be covered in these pinhead-sized rust spots, like some sort of rash.
I contacted Beko and sent them photos and they told me that in the opinion of their "engineer" these could have been caused by bleach. I was amazed because I have had white goods for over fifty years and none of them have developed these symptoms.
The white goods currently in my kitchen are far older than this Beko freezer and are not similarly afflicted. In any case I do not use bleach on these items, Ecover washing up liquid in warm water and a cloth are sufficient to clean them.
Beko's attitude was very discourteous. They were clearly bored, and they were patronising and borderline rude. They told me to contact my supplier, and of course I should have done so in the first instance. But there was no reason for their rude dismissive attitude.
I will never buy another Beko item again, and I will tell everyone I know that they do not offer customer support and are rude and robotic.
By coincidence today in the Daily Mail was a letter from an aggrieved Beko customer complaining about their treatment of her and their refusal to accept responsibility.
So, beware. Deal with Beko at your peril.

David Cameron's wife donned a bright red wig, cut into a bob, as she beavered away in the the kitchen of Number 10 creating treats for Comic Relief.
The kitchen, which the couple spent thousands renovating after they moved into Downing Street, was also decked out in bunting and red balloons.
Nancy and her brother Elwen looked hard at work behind their mother, 41, as she showed off a tray of biscuits and cakes which will be sold to Downing Street staff.
The offerings included cookies, flapjacks and some mini chocolate cakes, and will help raise money for this year's Red Nose Day.
Mrs Cameron said: "Baking is such a brilliant and easy way to raise money for Red Nose Day. I know the children are really looking forward to selling our cakes around the offices in Downing Street.
"I hope lots of people all over the country are also baking, or finding other fun ways to support Comic Relief."
The money raised by Red Nose Day, which falls on March 15, will be spent on projects in the UK and Africa.

We here at Playerwives get a lot of rumors flitting about, much gossip floating around, and many tips from our readers flying into our inboxes. Occasionally some of those tips seem plausible enough to mention, and this one seems decent since Marcus Mariotta's girlfriend Kiyomi Cook was reportedly at the Heisman ceremony with him. Previously, it was known that Marcus had dated his high school sweetheart Nicole Watase and that she attended the University of Oregon along with Mr. Mariota. If rumors are true, it would appear that Nicole is ancient history and Marcus has got a new girl, Kiyomi.
She also happens to be something of an athlete herself. Mariota's girlfriend Kiyomi Cook is from the town of Gresham, Oregon and plays center mid. She started college in 2011, so she's close to graduating or graduated by now. In a freshman interview when she arrived, she said she was "really bad at public speaking" and that she didn't know why she chose to attend Oregon other than she's been a Duck fan her whole life. She said her hidden talent is that she can make a really weird face, and then she did proceed to make a really weird face (which we have included here for you). She also mentions that Red Robin is her favorite place. Ah, another reaffirmation that instilling appreciation of fine cuisine is deader than dead in American culture.
Kiyomi says she admires her dad more than anyone but she doesn't know why other than "we don't really have a father/daughter relationship; it's more like just homies." She also does a less than memorable "Back at One" by Brian McKnight performance, but she seems well aware that she possesses no singing talent and that her actual skills lie on the soccer field. I have to admit, though, that after she sang the chorus of that song, I was reminded of how clever the lyrics are. Anyway, that's neither her nor there, and I hope Maruc Mariota's girlfriend Kiyomi Cook is having a rip-roaring good time dating Captain Heisman.

Though not everything comes up roses in Saddleback Civic Light Opera's mounting of this classic tuner, powerful lead performances do justice to librettist Arthur Laurents' compelling backstage story, based on the life of stripper Gypsy Rose Lee and her mother, Rose. The director's challenge in staging this legendary 1959 musical drama is to parlay its zesty vaudevillian milieu into an atmospheric treat while illuminating the compelling psychological underpinnings of its seriocomic mother/ daughter relationship. Direct-or/choreographer Ray Limon and company do a fine job of serving the absorbing narrative but are less successful at capturing the expected showbiz zing and the riches of the magnificent music (Jule Styne) and lyrics (Stephen Sondheim).
The production's strongest suit is Beth Hansen's shattering portrayal of notorious stage mother Rose. In the early scenes, there's too much musical comedy diva and not enough obsessive piranha in Hansen's portrayal. But she improves as the show progresses, poignantly conveying the conflicted emotions of a woman trying to vicariously re-create her own failed dreams by pushing her daughter to success. Her powerhouse delivery revitalizes that famous nervous breakdown number "Rose's Turn." Susannah Hall likewise brings fresh nuances to the part of shrinking-violet Louise, who miraculously morphs into self-assured burlesque headliner Gypsy. Tom Shelton as Rose's kindly suitor Herbie, who eventually realizes he can't be in love with a steamroller, is also superb. In the choice roles of the three strippers with "gimmicks," Amanda Abel, Michelle Weingarden, and Molly Mahoney energize this tried-and-true comic vignette. Among the principals, only James Below disappoints as the ambitious hoofer Tulsa. He exhibits little charisma and unimpressive footwork in the usually showstopping "All I Need Is the Girl."
The first act tends toward the sluggish, partly due to Limon's lackluster staging of the vaudeville bits, and is further hampered by a drab and unimaginative set design (presumably rented; credited to scenic coordinator Wally Huntoon). Music director/conductor John Massey Jr. does serviceable work, though the music doesn't always snap, crackle, and pop as it should--particularly in that widely revered overture. Despite the production's flaws, fans of this evergreen show will want to savor the scintillating lead performances.

HOLA HOUSTON | Wade Smith Foundation
The foundation supports community youth programs in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex and Greater Houston Areas and focuses on literacy and education. Smith feels strongly about giving back to the communities that helped him succeed. He believes that the best way to do this is by encouraging kids to expand their minds by becoming avid readers and to also make obtaining a college degree a realistic goal in life. In addition to his philanthropic work, Smith is a business owner. He and his wife, Rita, have three daughters and resides in Houston.
- Childhood Literacy & Education through "Reading With the Pros" Literacy Events – RWTP promotes and supports childhood literacy and education through in-person celebrity book readings and classroom visits.
- Annual Scholarship Program – "Smitty's Scholars" receive up to $20,000 annually for college bound seniors located in Dallas and Houston, Texas
- Annual Youth Football & Cheer Clinics – Free coaching and interaction from current/former NFL players, college athletes and cheerleading coaches for children in the Houston and Dallas, TX area.
- YMCA Make A Splash Partnership – Make a Splash is a swim lesson outreach program provided at low-income apartment complexes.
Wade Smith just released his second children's book Smitty Tackles Bullying.
It is a short story for kids who may be dealing with bullying themselves, and proves that it isn't ok to just stand by on the sidelines. Sometimes, kindness, understanding, and true friendship are the keys to tackling bullying. Due to the success of Smith's first children's book, Smitty Hits the Play Books, Smith decided to create a children's book series based on his life experiences.
All of the proceeds from Smitty Tackles Bullying go to the Wade Smith Foundation, to date the Foundation has given over $130,000 in scholarships to deserving students in the Greater Houston area.

There are TWO separate requirements. A) MOT valid certificate
B) Valid Road Tax for the current date.
As far as I can see the MOT government information which you have quoted makes NO mention about the TAX, only the specific question of IF the MOT has expired. I believe you are mistaken to speculate that you can drive to an MOT test IF your tax disc has expired.
I think that I have to admit defeat on this one. I have trawled the net and found many references confirming it. like this one: "
The Statute
s.29(1) of the 1994 Act provides:
"If a person uses or keeps on a public road a vehicle not being an exempt vehicle which is unlicensed he is guilty of an offence."
An exempt vehicle, for these purposes, is defined by para.22 of sch.2 of the 1994 Act. That reads:
"A vehicle is an exempt vehicle when it is being used solely for the purpose of -
(a)submitting it (by previous arrangement for a specified date) for a compulsory test, or
(b)bringing it away from a compulsory test."
This and similar quotes appear right up to last year, but when I go to http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1994/22/contents and look through the detail, I cant find those words anywhere. The act was much amended to take account of SORN, and continuous registration/insurance and it looks as if the concession has been removed.
So it looks as if driving on the road without a tax disc is not now allowed under any circumstances other than when you have applied online and are waiting for the disc.

WADSWORTH — Two women are facing animal cruelty charges after the Medina County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals seized 118 dogs from their Medina County home Friday.
Stephanie Moore, executive director of the local SPCA, said 20 charges were filed in Wadsworth Municipal Court on Monday against each of the woman — Glenda Curtis and her daughter, Danielle Tschappat.
Jeff Holland, attorney for the SPCA, said the charges against Curtis, who is in her 50s, and Tschappat, who is in her 20s, all are second-degree misdemeanors.
"They all have to do with neglecting to provide the animals with adequate water or food or allowing them to suffer in different ways," Holland said.
He said the maximum penalty for each charge is 90 days in jail and a $750 fine, but the maximum amount of time that could be served regardless of the number of charges is 1½ years.
SPCA officials raided the house at 358 Dawnshire Drive around 10 a.m. Friday after neighbors reported a stench coming from the residence.
Moore said the SPCA seized 118 dogs, five of which were dead when they arrived. Since the raid, two dogs have had litters, she said, bringing the total to 124 dogs.
She said it was the biggest animal seizure the local SPCA has ever handled.
The house had 2 feet of trash and feces covering the floors.
Moore said although she wishes animal cruelty charges were felonies, she doesn't believe either of the women in this case meant to do any harm. She said the dogs were not malnourished and, although they lived in filth, the women lived in the filth themselves.
With 124 dogs to care for in a facility that comfortably can care for 10, Moore said the SPCA is in disaster mode.
"The outpouring of support has been astronomical," Moore said. "Donations have been coming in like crazy."
She said the phones have been ringing off the hook with people looking to foster or adopt one of the animals.
She said donations have come in from corporations like PetCo, PetSmart and Walmart.
PetSmart at 5011 Grande Blvd. in Medina Township will assist with the adoptions of the dogs, which are all small breeds, Moore said, including terriers, schnauzers and poodle mixes.
She said photographs of each dog available for adoption will be posted on the SPCA's website, www.medinacountyspca.com, with the first round online by Wednesday. On Thursday, those that were posted online will be available for adoption at PetSmart.
As more dogs become available for adoption, their pictures will be posted, and they will be taken to PetSmart, she said.
"I don't think we're going to have to look at long-term fostering," Moore said.

Framing is really interesting like the composition, I like also the colors even if it is a little dark downwards, well considering.
Nice and unusual framing. Though Mount Fuji seems to clear (probably because of the reflection of the light and the distance from you).
I tried a workshop...

AT one point in this tale of sporting endeavour, characters are seen watching 1942's The Pride of the Yankees. The featured scene is the one where Gary Cooper, playing baseball legend Lou Gehrig, is declaring himself the luckiest man on the face of the Earth, even though he is dying. As the camera pans from the TV screen to the tear-stained faces of DVD watchers in modern LA, we see the film has worked its melancholy magic again.
Million Dollar Arm is not a six hankie number like The Pride of the Yankees, but that is not to detract from its considerable charm. Just as Sam Wood's 1942 biopic, being a film about a good man in a world gone to the bad, was of its wartime day, so Craig Gillespie's drama is in step with modern sporting times. Its central hero, played by Mad Men's Jon Hamm, is an agent for heaven's sake, and the tale, based on a true story, takes place across continents and involves big money stakes, media hoopla, and the transfer of talent from the developing world to the West. While this could have led to a cynical movie, Million Dollar Arm turns out to have a heart almost as big as the one that beats in The Pride of the Yankees. Yes, it teeters dangerously close to schmaltz at times, but the sure hand of its director (who helmed the loveably left field Lars and the Real Girl) and writer Tom McCarthy (Up, The Visitor) pull it back just in time. If all that, plus Hamm ripping the bones out of his first lead in a major movie is not enough to make this your choice of viewing this weekend, there is also a joyously raucous soundtrack from AR Rahman of Slumdog Millionaire fame.
The film opens with agent JB Bernstein (Hamm) hustling to find clients after leaving a big agency. In this he is having about as much success as Jerry Maguire. His partner Aash (Aasif Mandvi) keeps telling him to get into cricket, but JB, taking what might be called a Scots attitude to the ball and wicket game, reckons cricket is the kind of sport that might have been created in an asylum.
Nevertheless, while channel surfing one night, JB comes across oor ain Susan Boyle, no less, delivering her show-stopping I Dreamed a Dream on Britain's Got Talent. A couple of channels later, the cricket is on. On goes a lightbulb: why not stage a talent competition in India, built around bowling, bring the winners to America to be trained in baseball, and have them try out for a major league team? It's a wizard wheeze, the art of being an agent in action, and JB thinks he is just the man to pull it off.
As with Don Draper, Hamm is able to take what could have been a flat, familiar character and give him plenty of intriguing angles. His JB is a charmer, a hustler, a man content to exist on the surface of life, slipping and out of relationships with ease. The last thing he wants is any real responsibility to tie him down.
Gillespie spends half the film in India, soaking up its landscape, majesty and chaos. In the main we get to know the place through the two young sportsmen JB finds, Rinku and Dinesh (Suraj Sharma, Life of Pi, and Madhur Mittal, Slumdog Millionaire), and the various fixers he employs. Together with ferociously grumpy talent scout Ray (Alan Arkin) and JB's doctor neighbour Brenda (the always terrific Lake Bell), a strange little family is being formed, one that will be tested by the move to LA and the try outs.
Though Hamm is the big name draw here, Gillespie gives everyone a shot with the bat, the two youngsters especially, and they rise to the occasion. With plenty of feeling, not too much in the way of baseball chat to bore a non-American audience, and some nicely judged humour, Gillespie's film proves a home run of a sports movie.

But in August on the Peninsula is up to 2 million people, i.e. the population doubles in General and in certain areas of the coast reaches the density of the inhabited areas of Japan, more than 1 thousand people per square kilometer – there is something to ponder.
What kind of people live in Crimea, who are those lucky ones for whom "life resort"?

Wedding in Japan
The trouble starts six months before the announced deadline. The parents of a young man asking a girl's hands from her father. In Japan developed institution of betrothal. The bride and groom exchange wedding gifts. Families also exchange gifts. The bride as a token of betrothal it is customary to give a Golden or platinum diamond ring (worth up to 5 thousand dollars), if funds do not allow, a pebble-a symbol of her Zodiac sign. The bride makes the groom is also a wedding gift (ring, too, but much more modest cost). The bride's family presented the money to cover expenses of the wedding.
Then it is necessary to resolve the issue with the kimono (buy or rent), both are not cheap. The cost of wedding dresses for young (everyone) can result in a sum equal to the amount of costs actually at the wedding – the average wedding for 70 people can cost the bride's parents 50 thousand dollars. Also choose cards and then invite many relatives and guests (a Japanese wedding can be small – from 10 people, and many – 500-700 people, and require investment from 5 thousand dollars to the first case, as we have said, 25-50 thousand dollars in the past), to select and prepare gifts for the guests (Yes, guests).

Has anyone made Rose's Almond Shamah Cake from RHC in a tube pan? I would like to try this one but because it is for dessert after a big dinner, I don't wish to gussy it all up with lots of fattening cream, preferring a simple traditional chiffon cake treatment dusted with icing sugar. The recipe seems similar enough to a standard chiffon in composition - will it work in a 10" tube (angel food) pan? I am at a higher altitude so rising high enough should not pose a problem. Thanks!

Construction will begin soon on a new, 10-bed hospice inpatient unit at St. Vincent's Medical Center Riverside. Staffed and operated by Community Hospice of Northeast Florida and located on the fourth floor of St. Vincent's Riverside, the unit is scheduled to open in early 2013.
"Community Hospice is honored to be selected by St. Vincent's to partner with them in developing these new services and to collaborate with their physicians and staff to help in their mission to bring comfort to patients and their families who are dealing with advanced illness," said Susan Ponder-Stansel, President and CEO of Community Hospice. "Both our organizations share a long history of providing compassionate care to our community."
The nearly 6,500 sq. ft. of space will include 10 private patient rooms, as well as comforting, home-like amenities, a family lounge and a kitchen for use by family and visitors. The goal is to meet patients' end-of-life care needs in an acute care setting.
"We are pleased to work with Community Hospice as our hospice provider, whose commitment to delivering excellent care complements our own values," said St. Vincent's HealthCare President and CEO Moody Chisholm. "Expanding our ministry by adding the option of hospice care reflects our Mission to serve the sick and vulnerable, and the value we place in the inherent dignity of each person by giving our patients more control over their end-of-life care plan."
Community Hospice will recruit and train an interdisciplinary team of about 13 staff to provide round-the-clock patient care at the hospice inpatient unit, including medical staff, nurses, certified nursing assistants, psychosocial specialists and chaplains.
Construction of this unit at St. Vincent's Riverside is expected to begin in the summer of 2012. It will cost more than $1.9 million and is being funded by Community Hospice.
Community Hospice currently provides care to more than 1,200 patients each day in Baker, Clay, Duval, Nassau and St. Johns counties, serving patients and their families at home, in long term care and assisted living facilities, and at local hospitals like St. Vincent's. In addition, Community Hospice operates five other Centers for Caring totaling approximately 100 additional inpatient beds.

Torment: Tides of Numenera - Starting to Kick
View Single Post
March 6th, 2013, 22:19
I think a million dollars is a psychological barrier for many would-be backers (as in, after $1 million, they say, "Now you are just being greedy!"). With Wasteland 2, Fargo decided it would take over $1 million, but was willing to pitch in $100k personally to back the deal. So he went for $900K as a bare-minimum.
I think they've probably set their sites higher for Torment, but plan to re-use some technology from WL2, and use profits from WL2 to provide additional funding if necessary. With digital distribution and no publisher, they start making a profit from their very first sale.
