Khaw also said that the housing agency received a total of 4,250 appeals for HDB rental flats from divorcees with custody of their children.
He noted that around 40 percent of the appeals were approved while "the others were rejected as they had other housing options."

Edinburgh, the capital city of Scotland, lies on the south side of The Forth Bridge on the South East coast of the country. The city is perhaps best known for its many festivals, including the famous fringe festival and the military tattoo.
Each year visitors from around the world head for Edinburgh to sample its historic buildings and traditions and to walk these lively, fascinating streets. Although it can get busy during the UK school holidays, the city, encompassing the old town and the new town, is a delicate sprawl of ancient and modern streets and never feels too overcrowded.
To get a real understanding of history on the ground, take one of the many walking tours available either by day or night. Some of these walking tours are operated by volunteers and a donation at your discretion is much appreciated. Others must be pre-booked and a fee is charged.
Many of these tours take in Mary King's Close, a deserted and ruined alley off The Royal Mile, showing what life was like in the city in the 17th century when it still lived up to its name of 'Auld Reekie'. Others include literary tours, ghost tours and in-depth city tours, which give a good overview of the city and all it has to offer.
Kildonan Lodge is a friendly 4 star boutique hotel with a passion for customer excellence. Situated on the south side of Edinburgh close to the Kings Buildings and Royal Infirmary, 5 minutes from the city bypass and 10 minutes from the city centre with ample car parking, this makes it an ideal retreat for both corporate and leisure guests.
Enjoying Edinburgh During The School Holidays
The Scottish capital is famous for its heritage and fascinating culture and has become a popular weekend break destination for many a cultured soul hoping to catch a Shakespeare production and enjoy an up-market meal or two. Does this mean then, that visits to Edinburgh should remain a child-free zone or is there something for everyone in this beautiful city?
The top attraction in Edinburgh (and arguably Scotland) has to be the castle. Just the impressive dent in the skyline made by this historic fortress is enough to impress all visitors- young and old. Established in 1861 the "One O'clock Gun" is fired Monday to Saturday at precisely 13:00 and has become a popular tourist attraction.
Visitors can also see the reminders of those treading their steps before them with scratching's on the walls of the dungeon. In addition to all of this, if you are fortunate enough to be visiting in the summer holiday then you may even be able to get tickets to the Edinburgh Military Tattoo- a series of performances from the Scottish regiment and many other invited performers from around the world.
Next on the family-friendly to-do list, the Edinburgh zoo. Ten minutes from the city the zoo is conveniently located for all young families who hate the idea of travelling for miles on busy public transport. Once there, you can be sure to spend a whole day here enjoying over 1000 animals including monkeys, tigers and polar bears. If that wasn't enough, the penguin enclosure here is the largest in the world and the "Magic Forest" with its marmosets and tamarinds are a definite must-see.
Now, what if the holiday weather in Edinburgh is having an off-day? Well, there are plenty of museums and exhibition centres to keep you and your family busy. Camera Obscura and World of Illusions is a great option for those trying to keep their kids entertained whilst hoping to not lose their own sanity. Home to the most powerful public telescope in Britain and three floors of exhibitions and curiosities regarding light, colour and optical illusions which are all sure to provide a lot of fun and fascination for all of those involved.
For more practical elements of your trip- such as where are you going to stay? - it is recommended that you review all options before booking into that bog-standard travel inn.

Dear all,
I am facing these issues.
I have a blog page in my website; blog posts are correctly appearing.
I am trying to set up some widgets, but I have only been able to have the Search widget displayed in the sidebar. I have put it alternatively in "Sidebar blog" and in "Displayed everywhere"
I have tried to set up several other widgets (facebook page code and LinkedIn follow my page code) aiming to have them displayed in the "Sidebar blog" or in the "Displayed everywhere", but they are not displayed.
After I deleted the "search" widget from "Sidebar blog", I have "Pages", "Categories", "Archives". These must be set by default in some way, because no widget appears now in any of the sidebars.
So I have created a new different sidebar (and put there an e-mail newsletter subscription widget).
I tried to set the blog post to show the new sidebar. When I click save, it wont accept my new sidebar; it will save it with "default sidebars"
The same thing happens with the "blog" page. I tried to have my newly set sidebar to be shown, but when I click save I have no success: only "default sidebars".
I hope you can help me out.
Many thanks.November 28, 2013 at 1:08 am #194126

White adipose tissue (WAT) or white fat is one of the two types of adipose tissue found in mammals. The other kind of adipose tissue is brown adipose tissue.
In healthy, non-overweight humans, white adipose tissue composes as much as 20% of the body weight in men and 25% of the body weight in women. Its cells contain a single large fat droplet, which forces the nucleus to be squeezed into a thin rim at the periphery. They have receptors for insulin, growth hormones, norepinephrine, and glucocorticoids.
White adipose tissue is used as a store of energy. Upon release of insulin from the pancreas, white adipose cells' insulin receptors cause a dephosphorylation cascade that lead to the inactivation of hormone-sensitive lipase. It was previously thought that upon release of glucagon from the pancreas, glucagon receptors cause a phosphorylation cascade that activates hormone-sensitive lipase, causing the breakdown of the stored fat to fatty acids, which are exported into the blood and bound to albumin, and glycerol, which is exported into the blood freely. There is actually no evidence at present that glucagon has any effect on white adipose tissue.[1] Glucagon is now thought to act exclusively on the liver to trigger glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis.[2] The trigger for this process in white adipose tissue is instead now thought to be adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), adrenaline and noradrenaline[citation needed]. Fatty acids are taken up by muscle and cardiac tissue as a fuel source, and glycerol is taken up by the liver for gluconeogenesis.
White adipose tissue also acts as a thermal insulator, helping to maintain body temperature.
The hormone leptin is primarily manufactured in the adipocytes of white adipose tissue.

Do Over: New MS drug may be safe after all
An experimental drug for multiple sclerosis (MS) that was approved in 2004, then abruptly yanked off shelves last year because of safety concerns, may get a second chance.
Two studies show that the drug can curb MS symptoms and slow progression of the autoimmune disease over 2 years, the longest tests of this drug to date. A third investigation finds no further cases of the often-fatal complication that sidetracked the drug last year, beyond the three patients who fell ill at that time. All three papers appear in the March 2 New England Journal of Medicine.

Compensation for abuse survivors
Sir, – It is amazing how all the Irish media have reported the fact that the Catholic Church and its religious orders have mostly reneged on the deal agreed with Dr Michael Woods, the then minister of education, regarding compensation to victims of abuse suffered in Catholic institutions. As survivors of abuse in Protestant institutions, we are unable to understand why the Protestant churches have not been held to comparable account; when it comes to putting up property and money as compensation for victims who they are responsible for, why should Protestant victims be treated any differently?
We can understand that those Catholic religious orders that have contributed financially (even though a long way short) cannot be very happy when they realise that other religious orders have failed to come up with as much a penny of compensation, as the Protestant churches have equally failed to do.
Why should Protestant victims be treated any differently by the State, and its civil servants? Why does the Irish media not seek to get the same justice for the Protestant minority: are we not people too? – Yours, etc,

One day after Toronto Mayor Rob Ford took talk of transit funding off city council's agenda, a broad coalition of councillors is ready to put it back there again.
Several councillors, including TTC chair Karen Stintz, expressed dismay Wednesday that Mr. Ford and five other members of his executive committee took action to stand in the way of council having a full debate on how to pay for regional transit expansion.
Ms. Stintz said a majority of councillors want to have that debate and are working together to make that happen, likely at the next council meeting in early May. She accused Mr. Ford of having "completely abdicated his responsibility," on the transit file.
"We have been elected by the people of Toronto to represent their interests and I think we need to do that in this matter," said Ms. Stintz, widely regarded as a likely candidate for mayor in the next election. "I think the mayor had an obligation to bring it to council for full debate and I don't believe he showed leadership in this matter and I don't believe he has a vision for transit and I don't believe he has a vision for the city and I think that is unfortunate."
Ms. Stintz's comments come after the mayor's executive committee voted 6-4 to delay for one month the debate on new sources of transit funding, a move that would keep the issue off the city council agenda until after a long-anticipated report to the province is expected on May 27.
The report by the province's transit agency, Metrolinx, will recommend new revenue sources such as taxes and fees to pay for more transit in the greater Toronto and Hamilton area. As part of the process and at council's direction, city staff consulted with the public and prepared a report recommending four revenue tools to be implemented in the short term and more to follow later.
Mr. Ford made it clear during Tuesday's debate that he will not support any new fees, tolls or taxes, arguing the province must take money-saving measures first. "Guaranteed, hell will freeze over before I will support any of these new taxes," he said.
Ms. Stintz said that if Toronto does not weigh in before the May 27 deadline, when Metrolinx will make its recommendations public, other regional municipalities will effectively be deciding how Toronto gets taxed.
Councillor Josh Colle, a TTC commissioner and moderate on council agreed. "It seems silly to duck this issue now," he said.
Mr. Colle said he supports bringing the debate to the council floor and Wednesday also introduced a motion that TTC commissioners debate the topic at their meeting next month.
There are several ways that council can force the issue. While a special meeting is one option, Ms. Stintz and others said that likely will not happen.
Councillor Adam Vaughan, who began canvassing his colleagues to support a debate even before Mr. Ford officially took it off the agenda, said more than 30 councillors are involved in talks on how to move the issue forward.
Councillor Gord Perks said the easiest route would be to have a council member "remove" the transit report from executive committee at some point during the regular May meeting. This requires the support of two-thirds of councillors who are in the chamber.
Mr. Ford's chief of staff Mark Towhey said Tuesday that he is "kind of excited" by the prospect of a special debate on the new revenue tools, promising to make the mayor's opposition to them a centrepiece of his re-election campaign and to feature the names of councillors who support them on campaign posters.
Mr. Colle said he is tired of every topic being turned into an election issue and shot back at Mr. Towhey's plan.
"Sure, that's a very productive way to govern. You know, threaten councillors, that's all we need, that's worked successfully to date," he said, adding, "I'm being extremely sarcastic … that's the last thing we need."Report Typo/Error

The LA Galaxy's Gloria King, Director of Community Development and the Los Angeles Galaxy Foundation, knew she had to do more. As far as former Galaxy defender Tony Sanneh was concerned, it was a no-brainer.
King and Sanneh had traveled to Port-au-Prince, Haiti in March to deliver supplies and soccer equipment to the devastated country, which had been rocked by a 7.0 earthquake in January that reportedly killed 200,000 people and left as many as a million homeless. The trip had such a profound affect on King and Sanneh they decided they had to do something -- anything -- else.
The result was the Haitian Initiative, a joint project of the Galaxy and Sanneh foundations which will continue to not only provide soccer-based youth programming, equipment and aid to Haiti during the rebuilding process but brought an Under-15 boys team from L'Athletique d'Haiti to participate in the just-concluded Schwan USA Cup in Blaine, Minn.
PHOTO GALLERY: Haiti Visit & Haitian Initiative
The Haitian team surprisingly won its Boys 15 'A' Gold Flight with a 6-2 victory over Bonivital Flames, from Manitoba, in the final.
"Tony and I were together there a week, and we really didn't have much time to reflect on our time there," King said. "We were always so busy with people. When we got back we talked about our experiences and I told Tony there was no way I could have gone there and forgotten what I saw.
It was the same with Tony.
"We decided to find a way for our foundations to continue to give back. That's where we came up with the initiative. We were able to see the power of sport and how it can make a difference."
Some of the soccer gear collected from the Galaxy's equipment drive at Thursday's game against the San Jose Earthquakes, along with equipment donated by the Sanneh Foundation's Kick It Back collection at the USA Cup, also will benefit L'Athletique d'Haiti.
Sanneh, whose foundation works with disadvantaged youths in his home state of Minnesota, said he not only wanted to keep providing aid to one of the world's poorest countries, but he felt he had to after seeing the destruction first-hand.
"You hear stuff about what happened," he said, "but when you get there and actually see it ... you could drive 40 minutes or an hour, miles upon miles, and pretty soon it started looking the same. Like rubble, a pile of bricks.
"I wanted to keep doing something down there."
"It was such an eye-opening experience," King said. "I've never seen anything like that. Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the Western hemisphere, but I don't think I knew what that meant until I saw it for myself. And then to have the earthquake happen.
"It was a different experience from the moment we landed. So many people there in need. It was completely unbelievable and unreal."
King said she already is planning on making another trip to Haiti, probably toward the end of the year, and perhaps bring some youths to Los Angeles for a visit, followed by another appearance in the Schwan Cup. King admitted she initially had some problems adjusting to her more idyllic lifestyle back home in Southern California after what she had seen.
"There are people who are in such desperate need," she said. "But we also saw a lot of human spirit. Not everybody in Haiti is poor, you did see a very distinct line between the haves and the have-nots. There's still a spirit of hope there, that they will rebuild and get better, which is what I'm hoping.
"Hopefully we added a little something."

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
England in the wake of the Norman Conquest of 1066. The name is matronymic in origin, deriving from the name of the mother of the original bearer. This name is derived from the Old French personal names "Aalis" or "Aliz," which are diminutives of the Old Germanic "Adalhaidis," meaning "noble person."
Alliss Early Origins
England, where it occurred fairly frequently as a personal name in the years immediately following the Norman Conquest. The first known bearer of the surname was Willelmus filius Alis, who was listed in the Curia Regis Rolls of Bedfordshire in 1214.
Alliss Spelling Variations
Alliss Spelling Variations
Anglo-Norman names tend to be marked by an enormous number of spelling variations. This is largely due to the fact that Old and Middle English lacked any spelling rules when Norman French was introduced in the 11th century. The languages of the English courts at that time were French and Latin. These various languages mixed quite freely in the evolving social milieu. The final element of this mix is that medieval scribes spelled words according to their sounds rather than any definite rules, so a name was often spelled in as many different ways as the number of documents it appeared in. The name was spelled Alis, Alise, Allies, Allis, Alliss, Allish, Alais, Hallis and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Because of the political and religious discontent in England, families began to migrate abroad in enormous numbers. Faced with persecution and starvation at home, the open frontiers and generally less oppressive social environment of the New World seemed tantalizing indeed to many English people. The trip was difficult, and not all made it unscathed, but many of those who did get to Canada and the United States made important contributions to the young nations in which they settled. Some of the first North American settlers with Alliss name or one of its variants: Richard Allis, who arrived in Boston in 1632; Ellen Alice, who settled in Virginia in 1635; as did Mary Alice in 1650; Joseph Allis, who immigrated to Massachusetts in 1688.

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Vincit veritas
Motto Translation: Truth conquers.

Queens Park Rangers manager Mark Hughes recently urged his players to make the most of the remaining home fixtures, starting with tomorrow's visit of Liverpool to Loftus Road.
Hughes's strugglers will welcome playmaker Adel Taarabt back into the squad following a hamstring problem.
However, the match has come too soon for strikers DJ Campbell and Heidar Helguson.
Visiting manager Kenny Dalglish also has injury concerns, with Craig Bellamy and Glen Johnson extremely doubtful.
Danish defender Daniel Agger is still recovering from a broken rib and will not travel to London.
QPR, who have not won a league match in their last six attempts, will begin the encounter in the relegation zone.
Current form:
Liverpool: WDLLLW
Possible lineups:
QPR: Kenny; Onuoha, Ferdinand, Hill, Traore; Barton, Derry, Wright-Phillips, Taarabt; Zamora, Cisse
Liverpool: Reina; Kelly, Skrtel, Carragher, Jose Enrique; Henderson, Gerrard, Spearing, Downing; Carroll, Suarez
Sports Mole says: 1-2

Actor James Spader will play Marvel supervillain Ultron in Avengers: Age of Ultron, the May 2015 sequel to The Avengers. Follow this link to see Ultron's appearances in Marvel comic books.
Ultron made his first Marvel appearance in Avengers No. 54, his true identity hidden as Crimson Cowl. Using Marvel's digital comic reading tool, you can sample his appearances in Avengers No. 55 (pictured), Avengers No. 201 and Avengers No. 202. You can read more about Ultron's comic book legacy at Wikipedia (spoilers follow):
The character leads the Masters of Evil against the Avengers, having hypnotized Edwin Jarvis into working for him. In the following issue, #55 (Aug. 1968), the character is identified as Ultron-5, the living automaton, although his origin is still unknown.[2] In Avengers 57 – 58 (Oct-Nov. 1968) in aflashback sequence it is revealed that Ultron is the creator of the "synthezoid" the Vision, whom it tries to use as a weapon to destroy the Avengers.
Writer and director Joss Whedon will helm the 2015 sequel. Here's more about Spader's career, from the release:
Spader earned three Emmy Awards for his role as Alan Shore on "Boston Legal" and "The Practice," and will return to television this fall in NBC's highly anticipated series "The Blacklist." Most recently Spader was seen in the critically-acclaimed film "Lincoln" directed by Steven Spielberg and has previously worked with a long list of accomplished film directors including David Cronenberg, Curtis Hansen, Sidney Lumet, Mike Nichols, Tim Robbins, Robert Rodriguez, Steven Soderbergh, and Oliver Stone.

If you want to relive your days as an English literature major in university, this book is for you. If you wish you had majored in English literature in university, then this book is for you too. To a slightly lesser extent, the same is true for students and would-be students of religion, psychology and philosophy. Reading this book is like being given a short tour of the humanities. Short, but intense, and endlessly thought-provoking.
Surprised? Given the book's title, The Marriage Plot, it would be natural to assume that its central plot would be concerned with or, at the very least, lead up to a marriage. But while there is a marriage, it is not the most important aspect of the narrative. The most important are the three main characters, namely Madeline Hanna, Leonard Bankhead, and Mitchell Grammaticus.
Yes, that's right. Grammaticus. It simply doesn't get any better than that when it comes to naming a character in a novel brimming with references to English literature. The name is at once a nod to grammar, a salute to the ancient Greeks who founded Western civilisation, and a wave to the noble Atticus Finch of To Kill a Mockingbird.
The name Bankhead immediately brings to mind London's once dodgy Bankside district, home of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. As for Madeline, she herself recalls her infatuation with the character Madeline in the children's book series written by the Austrian Ludwig Bemelmans. Her bedroom in the family home is adorned with wallpaper which depicts various scenes and characters from the series.
So if it's not about marriage per se, what is the novel about? It's about, the author would argue, the few ways that still remain to deal with the subject of marriage in 21st-century English literature: the angst of unrequited love and the ordeals of long-term relationships. In this case the angst and ordeals are presented in tandem through that age-old literary device: the love triangle.
Mitchell, Leonard and Madeline meet as freshmen at BrownUniversity in Providence, Rhode Island. Madeline is a WASP who grew up in posh Prettybrook, New Jersey, where her father was president of fictional BaxterCollege (a thinly disguised PrincetonUniversity). She is an English major whose senior paper on the demise of the marriage plot begins with this line from Anthony Trollope's BarchesterTowers: "the way of true love never works out, except at the end of an English novel".
Mitchell hails from Grosse Pointe, Michigan. He is a religious studies major who is engaged in a personal struggle over religious belief. His exam responses for a course called Religion and Alienation in 20th-century Culture impress the professor so much that he is offered a full scholarship to the divinity school of his choice: Princeton, Harvard or Yale.
And finally there is Leonard, a brilliant student pursuing a dual major in philosophy and biology. His intellect, wit and good looks make him one of the most popular and sought-after men on campus. But no one is aware of his exceptionally unhappy childhood in Portland, Oregon. And the toll it will soon take on his health.
Mitchell loves Madeline with the firm conviction that they are destined to be together. Even when he fails to move their relationship from platonic to romantic, he is willing to patiently wait for the day that she will come to the same realisation. Madeline, however, adores Leonard. And Leonard is devoted to her. Or rather, he needs her. Because he has some serious issues that must be dealt with, issues which involve doses of lithium and appointments with psychiatrists.
After graduation, Leonard lands a fellowship at the prestigious Pilgrim Lake Laboratory in Cape Cod while Mitchell goes on an actual pilgrimage. Part spiritual quest and part escape from reality, Mitchell flies to Paris with his friend Larry, and from there he travels to Ireland, Greece, Andalusia, Morocco and many other locations until he arrives — despite his parents' strong objections — in Calcutta, India.
Why India? "Mitchell and Larry had decided to go to India one night after watching a Satyajit Ray film. They hadn't been entirely serious at the time. From then on, however, whenever anybody asked them what they were doing after graduation, Mitchell and Larry replied, 'We're going to India!' … The result was that, without so much as buying plane tickets or a guidebook — without really knowing anything about India— Mitchell and Larry began to be seen as enviable, brave, free-thinking individuals. And so finally they decided that they had better go."
Humour aside, Mitchell's stint in Calcutta provides him an opportunity to forget Madeline. Even though "being alone, in the poorest city on earth, where he didn't know anyone, pay phones were non-existent, and mail service slow, didn't end [the] romantic farce, but it got Mitchell offstage." Graveyards filled with dead British colonialists, sellers of bhang lassi, pulled rickshaws, Asian toilets, communist playhouses, and a variety of fellow American and European volunteers at Mother Teresa's Home for the Destitute and Dying distract him for a time. But there is no stereotypical 'finding himself' in India.
He does, however, find himself face-to-face with Leonard again. And Madeline. And closes the narrative with an incredibly gracious speech that somehow brings Dickens' Sydney Carton to mind. The speech is in fact a final literary question, one which can leave no doubt in the reader's mind about who the real hero of this novel is.
Jeffrey Eugenides, whose previous works include The Virgin Suicides (1993) and Pulitzer Prize-winning Middlesex (2002), has created a masterful portrayal of the complexities of human desire. To simply call it a coming-of-age novel, as some have done, does not do it justice. The protagonist not only experiences psychological and moral growth as he moves from youth to adulthood, he acquires something much more significant, something that eludes even adults. That is the courage to open his eyes to a truth which is staring him in the face.

TAMPA -- Pavel Kubina quietly slinked through a doorway in the bowels of the St. Pete's Times Forum and into the Tampa Bay Lightning weight room, slipping under the radar of his former teammates in the process.
Momentarily, that is.
When Brad Richards and company finally did catch a glimpse of the towering defenceman with the bushy weave standing between the bench presses and bar bells, the hooting and hollering began.
"Aren't there any hair stylists in Toronto?" Richards asked jokingly, referring to the lengthy locks being sported by Kubina these days.
One by one Tampa players went down to greet Kubina, extending hand shakes and high fives. It was an upbeat reunion, to be sure.
But they were not the only ones euphoric to see the 6-foot-4 defenceman yesterday.
Maple Leafs players and officials were very upbeat after watching Kubina participate in his first full practice since straining the medial collateral ligament in his left knee during a collision with the Florida Panthers' Todd Bertuzzi at the Air Canada Centre back on Oct. 9.
In a perfect world, Kubina, 29, would be in the Leafs lineup tonight against his former team, stepping on to the same ice surface upon which he hoisted the Stanley Cup 29 months ago.
"Game time decision," he laughed.
That's not going to happen. He knows that.
Instead a more realistic goal in his mind might be the matchup against the Bruins in Boston on Nov. 9.
"Maybe sometime the middle of next week," he said. "That would be great. We'll see how the knee goes after having hard practises the next couple of days.
"I still have a big brace on my left leg and that bugs me a little bit. The legs are still a little stiff too. You still think about the knee a bit when you cross over and any time you push hard. You have to get that out of your head and get ready for, hopefully next week.
"I have great memories here. You make friends here for life. And the memories from (the Cup), that's something you will never forget."
Kubina's absence from a primarily young Maple Leafs blue line has been noticeable. In the nine games since his injury the Leafs have allowed less than four goals just two times.
Rookies like Ian White and Brendan Bell have played beyond their years in picking up the slack, but the stability and experience Kubina brings to the table definitely has been missed.
In that regard, Kubina's return would allow the likes of Bryan McCabe and Tomas Kaberle to recharge their batteries and not have to gobble up 30 minutes of ice time each per game.
"It's great to see him getting better," McCabe said. "He's a guy who logs a lot of ice time and chews up a lot of minutes at both ends of the ice."
Whenever Kubina does return, Maple Leafs finally will get a peek at the defence corps general manager John Ferguson envisioned when he signed Kubina and Hal Gill during the summer.
"We've had so many injuries as usual for Maple Leafs defencemen," McCabe said. "It will be nice to get him back and get a healthy crew going."

The world's smallest car can park nearly anywhere it likes. The midget motor is so compact that about 12 of the cars fit in a normal parking space.
Around North Sydney, the car has been attracting curious glances and much mirth. "We've had a funny reaction to the car - people see it and burst out laughing," The Classic Throttle Shop at North Sydney owner Rory Johnston said.
"It's a real novelty but it could be the car of the future, who knows?" Mr Johnston said the car is so small that you could literally drive it into the office (the car fits into a lift). If the car breaks down, two men can carry it home.
The Classic Throttle Shop is selling three of the cars on consignment. They are reproductions of the original Peel P50 manufactured in the 1960s by Peel Engineering on the Isle of Man, and are powered by an electric motor.
More recently, the Peel P50 was made famous by Jeremy Clarkson when he drove it on the set of the television show Top Gear. "The car has great novelty value. Maybe someone will buy it who wants something a little eccentric to drive it around their place or their office."

Hi guys,
So I am managing Tottenham and England in 2017. I am heading into the Confederations Cup with England.
I just played a friendly match, all went fine. But for some reason, for the Confederations Cup, my team is being automatically selected for me every time and I am not getting a chance to edit the team.
I get a message saying 'England Squad to be Decided' but it is not highlighted in red (as a must read) and the next message is just discussing the players that have made the team.
I have checked the team policy section and I cant see any of the 6 boxes ticked off for first team, so I am really confused here.
Any help will be very much appriciated

Marine reunites with dog in surprise ceremonyFairfield resident instrumental in reuniting two 'battle buddies.'
A local man has helped a Marine reunite with the bomb-sniffing dog he served with in Afghanistan.
Sgt. Ross Gundlach of Madison, Wis., went on more than 150 missions with Casey, the yellow lab that helped him find improvised explosive devices. Gundlach hoped to adopt Casey once he left the military, but he ran into an obstacle. Casey's skills are so highly valued that she was put to work sniffing bombs for the Iowa State Fire Marshal's Office.
The Iowa State Fire Marshal's Office was willing to let Casey go but only if enough money could be raised to buy another bomb-sniffing dog to replace her. That's where Fairfield resident Kaley Fleig stepped into the picture.
Fleig is a member of the Fairfield chapter of The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks," or more commonly simply "the Elks." He is also a division chairman of the Iowa Elks Association, and a volunteer firefighter.
Through his firefighting connections, Fleig learned about Gundlach's plight. Gundlach had emailed the dog's new handler, Rob VanPelt of the Iowa Department of Public Safety, requesting to adopt the dog, even if he had to wait 10 years to do it and even if Casey had become blind by that time.
VanPelt informed Iowa State Fire Marshal Ray Reynolds of Gundlach's situation. Reynolds was moved by Gundlach's story and wanted to return the dog to its handler.
Reynolds had met Fleig at an Iowa Firefighters Association function in 2010 and the two had remained friends by working on various fire prevention projects together.
"Ray called me and said, 'I need some money and I need it quick,'" Fleig said. "He told me, 'This is a great young man, and this seems to be a wrong that has occurred. We'd like to make it right. Can you help us make this happen?'"
Military dog handlers normally receive the option of adopting their dog once the military no longer needs it. Fleig said a paperwork snafu prevented Gundlach from adopting his dog after his return from Afghanistan.
Fleig passed Gundlach's story along to the Iowa Elks Association trustees. He told them he knew money for a bomb-sniffing dog was not in the association's budget, but he hoped the trustees could see the benefit of reuniting the two "battle buddies."
"It fits in very much with our key tenets," Fleig said. "The Elks as an organization is very focused on our veterans. We made the pledge long ago that as long as there are veterans, the Elks will never forget them."
The Elks trustees were all supportive of Fleig's suggestion. Fleig discovered the organization needed to come up with $8,500 to train a new dog to take Casey's place. He said that was actually a bargain considering it normally costs $15,000 to train a new dog and its handler.
The Elks were able to find $8,500 in their budget. Fleig said it was "one of the easiest decisions we've made."
In March, the Elks received word Gov. Branstad was willing to accept the Elks' donation and retire Casey from service. However, none of this was public information at the time. Hundreds of Elks' officers found out about the deal in April, but they were sworn to secrecy so as not to tip off Gundlach to the plan.
Gundlach was informed that he might be able to get his dog back but he would have to make his case before the Iowa Legislature. Fleig said Gundlach was told getting the dog back was a long-shot.
Gundlach visited the Capitol building in Des Moines Friday. When he arrived, he was told the committee he was to testify before was running late. He was told he could participate in the Armed Forces Day festivities in the building's rotunda while he waited.
It was all a ruse. When Gundlach entered the rotunda of the Capitol building, he knew something was up when he saw pictures of himself and Casey on the wall. Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds informed him he would not actually have to testify since the state of Iowa had already agreed to release the dog to him.
Gundlach was overjoyed to see his four-legged friend walk in, accompanied by one of his good friends, Sgt. Robert Williams, who served with him on the bomb squad. Fleig was present for the ceremony and said there was scarcely a dry eye in the room.
"Ross was pretty emotional when he saw Williams walk in with Casey," Fleig said. "It was very touching. Casey was extremely excited, her tail wagging the entire time. She jumped on him and started licking his face."
Casey slept on Gundlach's lap the entire trip back to Wisconsin.

If you look back to post #8 Backdrifter posted link to another discussion on another forum about the content of ZDDP in motor oils. The letter from Pennzoil is interesting and may have bearing but it is 2.5 years old. Things change awfully fast in this game and I would like something more current. I was in Advance Auto yesterday and checked the oils out. There was one, I forget the name brand, but there was one that mentioned it had ZDDP. It did not say how much but it was the first time I have seen ZDDP mentioned on an oil label. The other thing I noticed was that every single oil they had for sale had a rating of SN.

(Wayne, PA, October 27, 2009) . . . Wednesday, November 11 is Veterans Day – a day to pay tribute to America's veterans for their patriotism and willingness to serve and sacrifice in order to give our country a legacy of freedom and peace. In honor of our country's past and present armed forces members, the Flag Manufacturers Association of America (FMAA) is calling upon all citizens to fly the American flag as part of their observance. National Veterans Awareness Week is November 8 through 14. Why not fly your flag the entire week?
According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, an act approved May 13, 1938 made November 11 of each year a legal holiday known as "Armistice Day." Since the holiday was primarily established to honor veterans of World War I, the act was amended in 1954 following World War II to honor American veterans of all wars. With the approval of this legislation on June 1, 1954, November 11 officially became known as "Veterans Day."
Each year, the President of the United States issues a proclamation in the days leading up to November 11, requesting that government officials and citizens observe the day appropriately. President Obama recently stated, "Now, in just a few days -- a few weeks -- we will be observing Veterans Day. We'll pause again to pay tribute to all those who have worn America's uniform. We reflect on their sacrifices and those of their families -- citizens who've done their duty and who have fulfilled their responsibilities to their nation. As a nation, we'll pledge to fulfill our responsibilities to our veterans, because our commitment to our veterans is a sacred trust, and upholding that trust is a moral obligation."
"While we are forever grateful to our country's armed forces members, on Veterans Day especially we reflect on their service, sacrifice, and vital role in making our nation what it is today," commented Sandy Van Lieu, FMAA Chairman. "The flag is truly our nation's greatest symbol of freedom, representing all that our country stands for and how far we have come as a nation. Flying the American flag may seem like a small gesture, but it carries significant weight for anyone who has risked their life to protect this country."
Flying the flag is an important part of observing this holiday, and FMAA wants to ensure that the flags we proudly display are true symbols of patriotism by encouraging Americans to look for the FMAA Certification Seal.
United States law requires every flag be labeled with its "country of origin." Those designated as "Made in USA" may be true to their name, but only those bearing the FMAA Certification seal are guaranteed to adhere to the standards and continued compliance as monitored by a professional association and its domestic members. Look for the FMAA Certification Seal to be sure it is truly an American made flag.
In 2005, FMAA launched its "Certified Made in the USA" certification program, designed to ensure that all American flags purchased are made in the U.S. of materials that are domestic in origin and that all processes involved in its manufacture were completed in U.S. facilities with U.S. labor. The FMAA monitors and requires re-certification from its member manufacturers every year.
The Flag Manufacturers Association of America is a non-profit trade association, established in 2003, dedicated to educating and promoting the quality, variety, and proper use of flags manufactured in the United States.

Delays & Closings
Emergency School Closings
When a decision is made to close Suffolk Public Schools because of weather conditions, or to close a single school for other reasons, detailed information will be provided to area TV stations. A recorded message will be available after hours at 925-6750. Automated phone calls with a recorded message will begin calling the homes of students and staff. The numbers called are based on the contact information stored in the division's database.
If an early closing of school becomes necessary, students need to know what to do and where to go when they get off the school bus. There may be times that school dismissal will be delayed beyond regular school hours due to extreme weather conditions or for other reasons. The same assortment of communication tools listed above will be used when possible.
Make-Up Days for 2016-2017
- The first two days missed will be covered by the extra instructional hours that are built into the school schedule.
- NOTE: These built-in hours have already been "claimed" when schools were closed on 9-22-16 and on 10-10-16.
- The next days missed could be made up on Presidents' Day, February 20, 2017, and on March 15, 2017 (staff development day).
- Additional time missed will be made up by adding time to the instructional day.
Delayed Opening
Suffolk Public Schools will consider opening schools on a one-hour or two-hour delay, due to inclement weather, hazardous conditions, power outages, or other emergency situations. Bus pick-ups for all students would begin either one hour or two hours later than normal pick-up times.
"Delayed Opening" means that any before-school child care will also open under the same delay. Elementary student early drop-off would be delayed until 10:30 a.m. Breakfast would not be served on either delayed opening schedule. Lunch would be served. Dismissal time and after-school activities would remain the same unless otherwise noted.
Elementary schools offering YMCA childcare will follow this revised schedule:
- On the mornings of school delays, the YMCA before-school program provided at the schools themselves will be cancelled.
- If schools dismiss early, the YMCA after-school program will remain open until 6 p.m.
- If schools are closed, there will be no YMCA childcare in those elementary schools. However, students enrolled in those school site programs can be brought to the main Suffolk YMCA on Godwin Boulevard at no additional cost.
Suffolk Parks & Recreation Department will announce changes to their schedule independently, since their centers are separate from the school building.
Under the delayed opening plan for PreK – 12, the school day would begin either one or two hours later than usual due to inclement weather, hazardous conditions, or power outages. Bus pick-ups would begin either one or two hours later than normal pick up times dependent on the announced delayed opening. Elementary students would not be allowed to arrive before 9:50 a.m. (A) / 10:05 a.m. (B) on one-hour delayed opening days and 10:50 a.m. (A) / 11:05 (B) on two-hour delayed opening days. Secondary students would not be allowed to arrive before 8:00 a.m. (middle) / 9:00 (high) on one-hour delayed opening days and 9:00 a.m. (middle) / 10:00 a.m. (high) on two-hour delayed opening days as staff would not be available to supervise early arrivals. Breakfast would not be served on either delayed opening schedule. Lunch would be served. On the mornings of school delays, the YMCA before-school program provided at the schools themselves will be cancelled. Dismissal time and after-school activities would remain the same unless otherwise noted. In the event of a school closing, the before and after school program will not be held in the schools. Registered students may attend the YMCA program at 2769 Godwin Blvd. at no extra charge.

Author's Note: I just went to see Episode III in theaters for the second time yesterday. This is the result of being hyped up on popcorn and Dr. Pepper while watching Anakin scream at Obi-Wan. It's all George Lucas' fault if you don't like it. :-)
From the day you took me as your Padawan, I was always slightly in awe of you, Obi-Wan. But then, as I became slightly older, the awe wore off, and was often replaced by annoyance. Love can't exist without it, I'm told—we must have loved each other very much.
We had our arguments, though most of the time they were no worse than the typical squabbles of a parent to his child. When they were more, however, sometimes we could go for days without speaking to each other. I thought I hatedyou, when I wanted nothing more than to get away from what seemed to be your tyrannical rule—but I was wrong, Obi-Wan. I didn't hate you then.
We grew together, intertwined and changed forever by it, like two trees growing side by side, coiling around each other until it is impossible to separate one from the other. I think, had we tried to pull away from each other at that time, it would have been utterly hopeless. We had so completely mingled ourselves that we had no way of identifying which part belonged to whom, and the break would have left both of us in a confused jumble.
Our fights in this time became few and far between, mercifully rare, for when we fought, neither of us thought we would ever recover. There would be tears on both sides, wept privately for the one we thought we had pushed away for good, and powerful rages. There were times when I swore to myself that I would never open myself up to you again, that you had betrayed me once too often.
I thought I hated you, in the times that it seemed that my father had turned on me—but I was wrong, Obi-Wan. I didn't hate you then.
When the Breaking between us began, I know you felt hurt. You thought you had caused this change in me, you believed it was your fault. I saw the silent tears in your eyes, the ones you would never let fall, while our lightsabers flashed between us. But you never understood my reasons for my change—not once did you give me the chance to explain that I was serving a good you knew nothing of.
It enraged me beyond all I had felt before—you closed your ears to me when I attempted to justify myself to you, only fought the harder. I was so angry with you on Mustafar—but I, the only one who knew how to read your emotions, saw the heartbreak in your face, and I despised you for not understanding.
I thought I hated you when you did not listen to me, when you turned your back on me and left me to die—but I was wrong, Obi-Wan. I didn't hate you then.
From then, the days, which had previously been so long, passed me by in a flash. Years came and went, and time seemed almost to pass me by—I was eternal, a symbol of evil carved into stone. Others around me aged, but I remained as time had left me when I was twenty-one. I never grew a day under that mask.
And I waited, Obi-Wan—I waited for you. I wanted you to come to me, I admit it; some back part of my mind thought there was still a chance for you to be redeemed in my eyes, for you to realize what you had done in resisting me. You came, but it was not in peace, as I had hoped. You were stubborn as ever, and it was that same quality that made me raise my lightsaber against you for a second time.
I watched you disappear, your cloak crumple to the ground where your body had been. Whether you gave up, or whether you had simply failed to protect yourself, I will never know. But the outcome remained the same: you had been struck down, by my hand.
I thought I hated you when I finally overcame you—but I was wrong, Obi-Wan. I didn't hate you then.
We battled only twice—both times, I wanted nothing more to kill you. I know you saw the rage in my eyes, the burning enmity that spurred me on when I didn't think I could move again. I wanted you dead, but only because you would not listen! It was a perfect hatred, and I could not fulfill it, because deep down I wanted you at my side.
Never until this moment have I realized what I should have known from the start. I screamed the words, "I hate you!" in your ears, because I knew they hurt you and I wanted them to sting. It was my last resort, my ultimate weapon, and only now do I see how flawed it was.
Because I could never hate you, Master.
And I never did.

The ironic Chelsea career of Fernando Torres
Telegraph Sport: where the debate really gets started
Irony or bizarre coincidence? Ask any Chelsea fan to identify the times they have seen Fernando Torres at his very best, and chances are they'll point to a match against Swansea two years ago and last weekend's encounter with Spurs.
In both those games the Spaniard looked like the Torres we know from his days in the red of Liverpool, before Roman Abramovich turned him into a £50m vanity toy.
And yet both times he was shown the red card.
It's as if the man has acquired a self-destruct button since his move to Chelsea in January 2011 – which is still the most expensive purchase ever by a British club.
There is little doubt that Torres will look back on his time at Stamford Bridge with few fond memories, yet – irony again – it coincided with, technically, the most successful spell of his career.
Thanks to Chelsea, he is a Champions League winner – an honour he joined Liverpool hoping to achieve.
He also won the Golden Boot as Spain retained the European Championship last year – although even Torres found that laughable as two of his three goals came in the easy rout of the Republic of Ireland and the other in the final against Italy when the match was already well won.
A final Torres irony; the man once known as El Niño ('The Kid') believes that, even at 29, he can learn a lot from the Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho.
As Spurs defender Jan Vertonghen found out to his cost on Saturday, a lesson in face-gouging may already have taken place.

TOKYO (AP) — Japan's top nuclear regulator has raised safety concerns about hastily built storage tanks and their foundations amid reports of new leaks of radiation-contaminated water.
Nuclear Regulation Authority Chairman Shunichi Tanaka said Monday that a small leak and signs of possible leaks have been spotted at several other Fukushima Dai-ichi storage tanks. Officials say part of the leak has escaped into the sea.
He said the discoveries were the result of closer inspections after a 300-ton leak two weeks ago. Tanaka raised concerns about the tanks' foundations and urged careful monitoring.
The plant's operator says it suspects other possible leaks because radioactivity has been detected near the tanks, although it is not considered deadly.
The latest leaks have triggered further concerns about the plant's ability to manage the contaminated water.

Pitt was the first school to offer Dennis Briggs, and on Tuesday the Shady Side Academy athlete decided he wanted to be a Panther.
Actually, Briggs has known for some time that he wanted to be a Panther. On Tuesday, he informed the coaches that he had made a decision.
"I committed earlier tonight," Briggs told Panther-Lair.com. "I talked to my dad yesterday and then after football practice I told my coach I was ready to commit. He asked where and I told him Pitt. We talked about it and he said, 'I think that's a good one for you.'
Article Continues Below
"So I got off work today and called Coach (Joe) Rudolph, I was like, 'Hey Coach' and he said 'What's going on?' I said I was ready to go, and he was like, 'Ready to go? For real? I said, 'Yeah' and he got excited and started passing the phone around so I could talk to all the coaches.
"They all seemed really excited, and I was excited, too. I knew for a while that Pitt was the one for me, but I just wanted to make sure that I didn't cheat. I wanted to look at the other schools that were interested in me. There are reasons why I want to go there, and I'm really confident that it's right for me."
While several things stood out to Briggs, the coaches' confidence in his abilities was chief among them.
"They were the first coaches to recruit me and the first to offer me; that meant something to me," Briggs said. "I really liked them and felt like they were sincere when they said they felt like I was a good character guy and when they told me they believe in my athletic ability."
Pitt's belief in Briggs only increased last weekend when he attended the Panthers' prospect camp. He started at safety during the morning session of the camp and then moved to running back for the afternoon session. By the end of the day, the coaches decided that his future was on offense.
"At the camp, they told me I'm good at catching the ball and they like me for offense," Briggs said. "What I think happened was, I felt more confident in myself at running back. When I first started high school football, I started to really like safety and I focused on trying to get better and playing defensive back at all the camps and really improving.
"But I think all along I had more instincts at running back and I think that's what I do well."
In addition to Pitt, Briggs had offers from Buffalo and Toledo, and coaches from Yale also tried to land him. Additionally, coaches from Stanford requested his transcript, and the coaching staffs at Penn State and Michigan State wanted him to attend their prospect camps.
For his part, Briggs is done with the recruiting process.
"I'm committed to Pitt," he said. "I'm 100% to Pitt. It's weird saying it after all this time, but yeah, I'm 100% to Pitt. This will give me a chance to get focused and get comfortable with what I'm going to be doing at the next level.
"They're telling me that I have a place on their team, so I'm going to work and earn my spot. I know I'll be supported there, and being home is a plus. I just feel like everything is falling into place."
Briggs is the fourth recruit to commit to Pitt in the class of 2014 and the second one to do so on Tuesday. Ohio quarterback Adam Bertke also committed Tuesday, joining New York safety Jalen Williams and Michigan offensive lineman Connor Hayes.
