Led by an outstanding performance by Justin Mapp, the Chicago Fire were victorious against the Columbus Crew on Saturday evening at Columbus Crew Stadium. Mapp not only scored the opening goal of the match, but also hounded the Crew defenders the entire night by continually beating them with creative dribbling and pace.
"The things that you saw are what he is capable of. I thought he had an excellent game tonight and not only with the ball," said Chicago coach Dave Sarachan. "He gave us the extra effort without the ball, which is never easy for an attacking player. Over 90 minutes, he was very good tonight."
The Crew also noticed the dazzling display put on by Mapp.
"Mapp is playing very well. We saw that again tonight. He has a lot of confidence and running all over the place," said Crew 'keeper Jon Busch. "He has a free role. He created some problems for us. Some of the problems were also self-inflicted wounds. We are still giving the ball up in bad positions."
The Fire's attack was helped by turnovers by the Crew's midfield and defense. The most costly was by Robin Fraser in the 69th minute. Jim Curtin pressed Fraser into a turnover and Chris Rolfe made no mistake with the gift as he successfully finished one-on-one against Jon Busch.
Crew coach Greg Andrulis doesn't think that one mistake by Robin Fraser is sign that he should re-examine his trust in his captain.
"It is unfortunate that he got exposed like that," said Andrulis. "He'll have better days. Robin will do 99 percent good things."
The Fire play with three forwards and it looked like their formation caused trouble for the Crew.
"They basically play with three high with Mapp going all over the place. Obviously, we scouted them and know that is how they play," said Busch. "We have to play with more organization and communication."
The Crew goalkeeper was not happy with his side's form over the first half.
"It was about intensity, heart and desire. We got played up in our own park for the first 45 minutes," said Busch. "You have to set the tone when you are at home. It is unacceptable that someone came into our house and ran us ragged for 45 minutes."
The poor first half led Andrulis to change the team for the second half. Cornell Glen came in to play the left flank, which moved Danny Szetela into the center midfield. Chris Wingert moved from defensive midfield to right back in place of Mark Schulte.
"We felt that we needed to get some pace out there and try to get something going offensively. We thought it was a little stagnant again," explained Andrulis. "We weren't getting the ball forward fast enough. Putting a guy like Cornell with that kind of pace out there in a wide position, we thought we had a good matchup against Logan Pause."
The moves didn't pay off as the Crew were unable to find the back of the net in the second half. Andrulis think the problems is related to their attacking mentality.
"We are not taking advantage of the transition that happens in the midfield. The ball has to get forward quicker," said Andrulis. "We are going square and back. We need to be going forward."
Columbus hopes it can recover from this loss in the same way that Chicago did tonight following a tough loss against New England on Wednesday.
"We were not happy after Wednesday night. The best thing about the game was that we didn't have a week to stew about it," said Sarachan. "We have a group that is extremely competitive and proud. We wanted to come in here and play the way we felt we were capable of playing. Tonight was a pretty good example."
The example was led by Mapp, who the Crew were never able to manage defensively. "When you allow a guy like Justin Mapp that much time and space to turn and run at you, then you are just asking for trouble," said Andrulis. "He is too good."
Busch saw first hand exactly what Mapp is capable of. On his goal, Mapp dribbled to his left, but cut his shot back to the right post leaving Busch helpless.
"He came across and actually put it between someone's legs back across my body," said Busch. "He hit it back across my body and hit it well. Most of the times, those end up being dribblers because they are back across the shooter's body."
Said Sarachan: "He showed us the qualities that we have known about Justin. Tonight was a little bit of a coming out party for him."

Are you using both usb ports? HDD on the outside/bottom port and the usb dongle on the other?
Up front and honest - Super Green : son installed Skylanders - works great, but now when I click on WiiFlow, screen pops up to have us connect our external HDD that has all our soft mod'd games on it - no access to HDD - no games.
What's the process to fix, to allow access to both the HDD that has all our games but still have access to play the Skylanders game w/ or w/out using the USB piece that came with the Skylanders game.
System Environment:
USB Loader: WiiFlow v2.2rc1
cIOS 222 installer v4
cIOS 222 installer v5.1 - both cIOS for uLoader
cIOS 38r17 installer
Trucha Bug Restorer
WAD Manager
WiiMC ... Not that you needed to know about the last two
Please keep in mind I'm a procedudual kind of guy and green, so don't feel like any step by step process is going to be to simple - I appreciate the patience folks.
Are you using both usb ports? HDD on the outside/bottom port and the usb dongle on the other?
You would need either a 222 version of WiiFlow or be using d2x cIOS in order to get use of both ports. Also, you should put hermes v4 [37+38] in slot 223.
If this is too much for you to grasp, you could follow the Softmod ANY Wii guide which will install all necessary cIOS in order to get this to work.
Did you ever get this resolved? I have the same problem and I am ready to tackle this, but really GREEN.
Step by step would be very helpful.

Inauguration Protester Pictures
I've just returned from the Inaugural parade and, as promised, here are a few pictures from the event. I have to warn you now that I'm a bit disappointed with the pictures that I ended up with - I didn't have a chance to get very many before my batteries died, mostly because my friends and I were having plenty of fun making fun of the "protestors," most of who I'm sure didn't have to worry about taking "vacation time" to attend the event.
On our way to the north 14th street entrance (the public entrance, for those without bleacher tickets) we ran across these folks staging a "die in" at 16th & H.
I'm not sure what their point was - going by their signs, I think that they were some sort of sexual deviants lusting after the President ("F*CK BUSH"). Interesting thing about this picture is that while there are maybe 20 spectators, 4 of them have professional looking cameras and are actively taking close up shots. Hmm. If these "reporters" were choosing close up shots so that they could later make it look like the demonstrations were a lot larger than they actually were there was really no need - if there is one thing that this event had plenty of it was dirty protestors.
One guy passing by called out to the perverts, "keep fighting the good fight!" (And he was serious, not joking.) Keep fighting WHAT good fight? Since when was laying down "fighting?" As soon as I'm done with this piece, I'm gonna go "fight" on my couch and watch the Inauguration coverage that I tivoed.
On the way to the gate we saw this lovely family of three, a father and his 2 sons aged maybe 12 and 8:
Yep, that's right - this guy has his 8 year old son wearing a sign that says "Dismantle the Empire." Where is 'Child and Family Services' when you need them?
I'd like to say that I feel sorry for the kids, and I do, but I think I feel even more sorry for his unwitting protestor:
Man, and I thought that I hated people who dressed their dogs up in sweaters!
Here's a young man with a question for the President:
His sign asks "BUSH, How many Iraqi soldiers, women, civilians, and children have you killed today?" Then says "Which Dicatorship will you invade next?"
Answers: 0, and Iran. Any more questions?
You know, I'd like to ask this "protestor" a question of my own: Confused but well-meaning protestor, how many soldiers, women, civilians, and children have you SAVED today? From how many have you lifted the yoke of oppression? To how many have you given the same civil liberties you take for granted? Answer: take a guess.
When we got in line to get in, there were maybe a few hundred people in front of us. Soon thereafter, though, hundreds (perhaps thousands?) of "protestors" stormed to the front, yelling, screaming, cutting in line. These people pretend to be for rule of law, but they can't stand in line like everyone else. Here's a view of the crowd behind us.
Note the huge "F*CK OFF BUSH" sign in the background (a popular message with these people, I might add) and the "blue zone" sign to the right. There were a lot of these "blue zone" signs, and there were many other signs about the "blue." You know, I'm still a bit annoyed that no one seems to understand that blue is reserved for the incumbent party while red is traditionally the color of the challenging party. Gore was "blue" in 2000 because the Dems were the incumbent party. Bush 41 was "blue" in 1992 because the Republicans were the incumbent party. The 2004 election saw the Dems retain blue because the media and these so-called passionate political activists don't have the first damned idea what they're talking about.
We finally got in and opted to stand on a hill, behind a fence, which really hindered my ability to take any decent photos. I wish this one would have turned out:
This one had a sign that read "What's next, Kevorkian for Surgeon General?" Funny, I thought - this same fellow probably thinks that Kevorkian is wrongly imprisoned and that he "did nothing wrong." Hmm. On a related note, I also saw a sign that said "Alberto Gonzales, Butcher of Baghdad." WHAT? Now that one I just don't get - as much as I hate to encourage uniformity, maybe this fellow should have just stuck with the ever-popular "F*CK BUSH."
About half of the crowd where I was standing was "anti-Bush," and this yahoo was the loudest of the lot.
He spent so long booing in this "thumbs down" pose that I began to think that it was all was capable of - but boy was I wrong!
Yes, that's right, this fellow can point UP as well! And who says that America's schools are failing?
There were a lot these signs as well, bearing the "not in our name" message:
Most of them were carried by people that I'm pretty sure weren't old enough to vote and/or have never paid a dime of taxes in their lives. "Not in your name?" OK, sport. It's not in your name if you're not paying for it. When your parents stop claiming you as a dependent, maybe then you'll have standing to make that demand. Until then, might I suggest that you change your sign to read "Not in my Mommy and Daddy's name?"
You may have read stories about the protestors knocking down fences and getting pepper sprayed - it happened right here, directly across the park from where I was standing.
Yeah, that's the best picture that I got of it. These people were chanting "let us in, let us in!" and were knocking down fences and throwing things (mostly snowballs) at the riot police. First, they could have gotten in, just like everyone else, all they had to do was go stand in line. Second, do they really expect to be taken seriously, throwing things at police, knocking down fences, trying to start a riot? They should have been arrested. And snowball or not, for throwing anything at a police officer they should be put in prison.
Well, there you have it - those are the best of my not-so-great pictures. My camera died soon after that, we didn't get any decent pics of the parade, and we actually left pretty soon after the President drove by. (Which is before the parade even got started)
Oh, I do have this brief video that I took while standing in line, just as the crowd began its rush of the gate. About 14 Megs, 1 minute long. I really did a terrible job of keeping the camera straight.

You know, the first couple of times I looked at this I completely missed the fact that a riot broke out at a hockey rink. Who would have imagined such a thing!

The Gonzales Butcher of Baghdad is a veiled reference to a Nazi. Reinhard Heydrich was the SS General who attended the Wansee Conference and was very involved in the Holocaust and was the Deputy Reich Protector of Bohemia and Moravia...He was known as THE BUTCHER OF PRAGUE...again take note loony left resorts to Nazi references

It saddens me that America has re-elected this spoiled man with the mind of a child to run the country for the next four years. I fear for the safety of future generations because of this man.

I was protesting with the rest of the whiners, yes I hate Bush, but we all have our opinions. What I oppose to is your comment on waiting in line for the parade. Thats not true. They let noonne in without a ticket. I believe the Inaugural parade is for the people. Why a ticket? Every other year there were no tickets. Yes, we did break open the fence, and yes, it wasnt the smartest thing to do. But we wanted into the parade to show Bush not everyone loves him. I agree, most of the protesters were dumb, why would you use vulgar words to get your point across??? "Fuck Bush" signs did nothing. Protestors need to learn to use there brain. I was planning on going to the parade until i found I needed a ticket. President Bush is a pussy. He is the 1st President to stop White House touring and allow ticketing to the parade.
|# March 7th, 2005 6:48 PM Converted_Comment
youre 100% wrong, mjw. no ticket was necessary. the public entrance was at 14th street. i got in without a ticket, and so did 1000's of protesters. you'd really think that you would do some research before posting here, especially considering that my post talks about the "public entrance" and that you could get in "without tickets" in multiple places.
get your facts straight before you come charging in here telling me what you "oppose to." my guess is that this is just like other things that you are opposed to - you have no idea what you're talking about there, either.
|# March 7th, 2005 6:48 PM Converted_Comment
I walked in without a ticket too. The non-ticketed entrances were published in the Washington Post the day of the event. They drew a picture of the route and the entrances and STILL it completely baffled the protestor chimps.
The non-ticket entrance was only one hundred yards from the Willard Hotel where the lefty mob broke down the fence. How many clues do you need to find it?
If you are too dumb to read the paper, too dumb to ask anyone, and too dumb to spout anything but obscenities, why would anyone take your opinion seriously? How could you figure out national policy if you can't figure out where the lines to get into the parade are? I thought you lefties claimed to be smarter than everyone. You can't even find the entrance when it's in front of your face.
From what I saw of the riot in front of the Willard Hotel, the lefties are simply enemies of democracy and want mob rule. You guys were trying to start a fight with the police, throwing snowballs. You idiots even tore plants out of the pots at the Willard to throw at the police. Then a can of soda came over the fence in the middle of a knot of police. That could have seriously hurt somebody, but violence is what you are all about. The police did not pepper spray you until you had assaulted them for five minutes and started throwing heavy debris. You deserved it.
The Willard Hotel is a historic landmark, where Lincoln checked in when he came to be president; where Ulysses Grant checked in to take over command of the Union Army. And you ignorant destroyers were tearing it up, just exactly as you would tear up the country if you were given free reign.

text: SAO PAULO, Sept 9 (Reuters) - Latin American currencies and stocks strengthened on Wednesday after Chinese officials said they would enact policy measures to support economic growth in what is an important market for local raw materials exports. Brazilian assets posted the biggest gains in the region, helping the MSCI Latin American stock index advance for the second straight session. A statement from China's Ministry of Finance on Tuesday said the nation would accelerate major construction projects, bring in private financing, standardize the management of local government debt and reform taxes. Weakening economic growth in China, Brazil's top trade partner, has hammered the price of Latin American commodities such as iron ore, soybeans and copper. That has weighed on the region's currencies, such as Brazil's real , which has lost 30 percent of its value against the dollar in the year to date. The real advanced for the third straight day on Wednesday, gaining nearly 1 percent against the dollar. Other currencies in the region saw smaller gains, with the Chilean and Mexican pesos both up about 0.35 percent. Stock markets were broadly higher. Brazil's Bovespa stock index advanced for the second day led by shares of banks and financial companies. Shares in BM&FBovespa SA jumped after Brazil's sole listed exchange sold part of its stake in partner bourse CME Group Inc to bolster cash. Preferred shares in mining firm Vale SA, which counts China as its biggest customer, advanced 1 percent.

wearing: top from zara, beanie from H&M, shorts c/o Christing C.
Normally i would save my most potato-esque clothing for the plane, but i opted for this outfit on the return flight from Bangkok to Hong Kong instead. These shorts are cool in that vacation-floral-surf print way that my dad has agreed with through his own pair of swim shorts in pretty much the same pattern. Also, they're fluttery and reminiscent of origami in a way that is hard not to like. And of course i felt a need to wear my beanie because....(i've stopped coming up with reasons). I snapped these pictures near the pool in Bangkok, but next up i'll be posting outfits from my most recent shoot with none other than Natalie! Stay tuned.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated, thanks!!

In Reply to: Re: vertigo posted by Lynn on June 23, 1999 at 20:50:31:
: : : I had my first onset of vertigo 2 years ago. I had to lay flat for 6 full days. Next time was a few months later. I was out 3 days. Now it hits every 3 to 6 months and only lasts about a day, although I just had a 5 day attack. When I get it now, I can walk around and function. I just have to take it slow and careful. I have seen an ENT and went through extensive testing. His only option was to treat the symptoms and make me sleep. Like most people, I don't have time to sleep off entire days. It has been suggested by various people this is caused by stress or allergies. I have seen some correlation with diet soda intake and my episodes. Also, it always hits on Sunday, my favorite day, when I am probably most relaxed, not stressed. Has anyone found similar correlations with diet soda or having it on the same day. I know it sounds crazy! Thanks!!
: I just had this happen to me for the first time....it was no fun! I took the drugs and they worked but I switched to ginger capsules and had the same results. I was just thinking earlier today that everytime I buy some of my beloved diet coke, I get dizzzzzy. I wonder if there is a connection. I was okay with diet pepsi...which I don't care for.
: My sister gets this about every six months and her doctor has her taking an antihistamine. He says this will prevent it. Does this make sense?
January 9, 2000
I am diagosed to have Meniere's synrdrome for almost one year. I getting occasional buzzing or ringing in only my right ear. This lasts usually about one hour and then disappears. On 6 or 7 other occasions, I will start to feel as if I am losing my balance, and within 10 minutes I get dreadfully nauseous, and then have uncontrollable vomiting and diarrhea, which lasts about 2 hours. I then have extreme vertigo, and must lie flat about 2 - 5 hours. I'm then fine, just exhausted, and dehydrated. I've tried antivert, but it is not that helpful. I am on a diuretic, one microzide in the evening. I am trying to modify my diet, and have elimated coffee with cafeine (4 cups a day) as one possible cause. I am also controlling adult onset diabetes by diet. I don't know if this has any correlation in my case. I would be interested if anyone else suffers from the stomach/intestinal part, and what brings it on .

Aryan invasion theory - few new developments, facts
while surfing internet i recently found some new information abt aryan invasion theory .. well i'm sharing all i found with ya all .. draw your own conclusions and plz do give your own opinion
documentary on aryan invasion -->
vedic physics - fabrication of aryan invasion theory - YouTube
Early indologists wished to control & convert the followers of Vedic Culture, therefore they widely propagated that the Vedas were simply mythology. Max Muller, perhaps the most well known early sanskritist and indologist, although later in life he glorified the Vedas, initially wrote that the "Vedas were worse than savage" and "India must be conquered again by education... it's religion is doomed"
Thomas Macaulay, who introduced English education into India wanted to make the residents into a race that was: "Indian in blood and color, but English in taste, in opinion, in morals, and in intellect."
However, the German Philosopher ArthurSchopenhauer stated that the Sanskrit understanding of these Indologists was like that of young schoolboys.
These early Indologists:
Devised the Aryan Invasion theory, denying India's Vedic past
They taught that the English educational system is superior
They intentionally misinterpreted sanskrit texts to make the Vedas look primitive.
And they systematically tried to make Indians ashamed of their own culture
Thus the actions of these indologists seems to indicate that they were motivated by a racial bias.
Innumerable archaeological findings and their analysis have recently brought the Aryan Invasion Theory into serious question. This theory is still taught as fact in many educational systems despite much contrary evidence.
The Aryan Invasion Theory Defined
Vedic Aryans entered India between 1,500 and 1,200 B.C.
They conquered the native Dravidian culture by virtue of their superiority due to their horses & iron weapons
They Imported the Vedic culture and it's literatures.
This Aryan Invasion Theory, however, deprives the inhabitants of India of their Vedic heritage. The wealth of their culture came from foreign soil.
The Aryan Invasion Theory raises an interesting dilemna called Frawleys Paradox: On the one hand we have the vast Vedic Literature without any archaeological finds associated with them and on the other hand, we have 2,500 archaeological sites from the Indus-Sarasvata civilization without any literature associated with them.
A preponderance of contemporary evidence now seems to indicate that these are one and the same cultures. This certainly eliminates this paradox and makes perfect sense, to an unbiased researcher.
Facts which cast serious doubt on the Aryan Invasion Theory
There is no evidence of an Aryan homeland outside of India mentioned anywhere in the Vedas. On the contrary, the Vedas speak of the mighty Sarasvati River and other places indigenous to India. To date, no evidence for a foreign intrusion has been found, neither archaeological, linguistic, cultural nor genetic.
There are more than 2,500 Archaeological sites, two-thirds of which are along the recently discovered dried up Sarasvati River bed. These sites show a cultural continuity with the Vedic literature from the early Harrapan civilization up to the present day India.
Several independent studies of the drying up of the Sarasvati River bed, all indicate the same time period of 1,900 B.C.E.
The archaeological sites along the dried up Sarasvati River basin are represented by black dots.
The significance of establishing this date for the drying up of the Sarasvati River is, that it pushes the date for the composition of the Rig Veda back to approximately 3,000 B.C.E., as enunciated by the Vedic tradition itself.
The late dating of the Vedic literatures by indologists is based on speculated dates of 1,500 B.C.E. for the Aryan Invasion and 1,200 B.C.E. for the Rig Veda, both now disproved by scientific evidence.
Max Muller, the principal architect of the Aryan Invasion theory, admitted the purely speculative nature of his Vedic chronology, and in his last work published shortly before his death, The Six Systems of Indian Philosophy, he wrote: "Whatever may be the date of the Vedic hymns, whether 15 hundred or 15,000 B.C.E., they have their own unique place and stand by themselves in the literature of the world."
The Vedic Culture is indigenous to India
It can be scientifically proven that the Vedic Culture is indigenous, through archaeology, the study of cultural continuity, by linguistic analysis, and genetic research.
For example, the language and symbolism found on the Harappan seals are very Vedic. We find the Om symbol, the leaf of the Asvatta or holy banyan tree, as well as the swastika, or sign of auspiciousness, mentioned throughout the Vedas. Om is mentioned in the Mundaka and Katha Upanisads as well as the Bhagavad Gita.
The Holy Asvatta tree is mentioned in the Aitareya and Satapata Brahmanas as well as the Taittiriya Samhita and Katyayana Smrti.
The pictoral script of these Harappan seals has been deciphered as consistently Vedic and termed "Proto-brahmi," as a pre-sanskrit script.
This piece of pottery from the lowest level of Harappan excavations with pre-harappan writing is deciphered as ila vartate vara, referring to the sacred land bounded by the Sarasvati River, described in the Rig Veda.
Additionally, other archaeological finds are culturally consistent, such as the dancing girl, whose bracelets are similar to those worn by women of Northwest India today as well as
the three stone Siva Lingas found in Harappa by M. S. Vats in 1940. The worship of the Siva Linga is mentioned in the Maha Narayana Upanisad of the Yajur Veda and is still ardently practiced today.
The Vedas were maligned by early indologists because of their disagreement with their Eurocentric colonialists world view, a view which produced and depended on the Aryan Invasion Theory. The fact that the Aryan Invasion Theory has been seriously challenged recently by scholars and indologists, adds credence to the Vedas as viable, accurate and indigenous sources of information.

The Myth of the Aryan Invavsion of India

Press Release
Scientists Collide with Linguists to Assert Indigenous origin of Indian Civilization
Comprehensive population genetics data along with archeological and astronomical evidence presented at June 23-25, 2006 conference in Dartmouth, MA, overwhelmingly concluded that Indian civilization and its human population is indigenous.
In fact, the original people and culture within the Indian Subcontinent may even be a likely pool for the genetic, linguistic, and cultural origin of the most rest of the world, particularly Europe and Asia.
Leading evidences come from population genetics, which were presented by two leading researchers in the field, Dr. V. K. Kashyap, National Institute of Biologicals, India, and Dr. Peter Underhill of Stanford University in California. Their results generally contradict the notion Aryan invasion/migration theory for the origin of Indian civilization.
Underhill concluded "the spatial frequency distributions of both L1 frequency and variance levels show a spreading pattern emanating from India", referring to a Y chromosome marker. He, however, put several caveats before interpreting genetic data, including "Y-ancestry may not always reflect the ancestry of the rest of the genome"
Dr. Kashyap, on the other hand, with the most comprehensive set of genetic data was quite emphatic in his assertion that there is "no clear genetic evidence for an intrusion of Indo-Aryan people into India, [and] establishment of caste system and gene flow."
Michael Witzel, a Harvard linguist, who is known to lead the idea of Aryan Invasion/migration/influx theory in more recent times, continued to question genetic evidence on the basis that it does not provide the time resolution to explain events that may have been involved in Aryan presence in India.
Dr. Kashyap's reply was that even though the time resolution needs further work, the fact that there are clear and distinct differences in the gene pools of Indian population and those of Central Asian and European groups, the evidence nevertheless negates any Aryan invasion or migration into Indian Subcontinent.
Witzel though refused to present his own data and evidence for his theories despite being invited to do so was nevertheless present in the conference and raised many questions. Some of his commentaries questioning the credibility of scholars evoked sharp responses from other participants.
Rig Veda has been dated to 1,500 BC by those who use linguistics to claim its origin Aryans coming out of Central Asia and Europe. Archaeologist B.B. Lal and scientist and historian N.S. Rajaram disagreed with the position of linguists, in particular Witzel who claimed literary and linguistic evidence for the non-Indian origin of the Vedic civilization.
Dr. Narahari Achar, a physicist from University of Memphis clearly showed with astronomical analysis that the Mahabharata war in 3,067 BC, thus poking a major hole in the outside Aryan origin of Vedic people.
Interestingly, Witzel stated, for the first time to many in the audience, that he and his colleagues no longer subscribe to Aryan invasion theory.
Dr. Bal Ram Singh, Director, Center for Indic Studies at UMass Dartmouth, which organized the conference was appalled at the level of visceral feelings Witzel holds against some of the scholars in the field, but felt satisfied with the overall outcome of the conference.
"I am glad to see people who have been scholarly shooting at each other for about a decade are finally in one room, this is a progress", said Singh.
The conference was able to bring together in one room for the first time experts from genetics, archeology, physics, linguistics, anthropology, history, and philosophy. A proceedings of the conference is expected to come out soon, detailing various arguments on the origin of Indian civilization.
No trace of demographic disruption in the North-West of the subcontinent between 4500 and 800 BCE; this negates the possibility of any massive intrusion, by so-called Indo-Aryans or other populations, during that period.
Deep late Pleistocene genetic link between contemporary Europeans and Indians, provided by the mtDNA haplogroup U, which encompasses roughly a fifth of mtDNA lineages of both populations. Our estimate for this split [between Europeans and Indians] is close to the suggested time for the peopling of Asia and the first expansion of anatomically modern humans in Eurasia and likely pre-dates their spread to Europe.
Haplogroup U, being common to North Indian and Caucasoid populations, was found in tribes of eastern India such as the Lodhas and Santals, which would not be the case if it had been introduced through Indo-Aryans. Such is also the case of the haplogroup M, another marker frequently mentioned in the early literature as evidence of an invasion: in reality, haplogroup M occurs with a high frequency, averaging about 60%, across most Indian population groups, irrespective of geographical location of habitat. Tribal populations have higher frequencies of haplogroup M than caste populations.
- U.S. anthropologists Kenneth Kennedy, John Lukacs and Brian Hemphill.
mtDNA haplogroup M common to India (with a frequency of 60%), Central and Eastern Asia (40% on average), and even to American Indians; however, this frequency drops to 0.6% in Europe, which is inconsistent with the general Caucasoidness of Indians. This shows, once again, that the Indian maternal gene pool has come largely through an autochthonous history since the Late Pleistocene. U haplogroup frequency 13% in India, almost 14% in North-West Africa, and 24% from Europe to Anatolia. Indian and western Eurasian haplogroup U varieties differ profoundly; the split has occurred about as early as the split between the Indian and eastern Asian haplogroup M varieties. The data show that both M and U exhibited an expansion phase some 50,000 years ago, which should have happened after the corresponding splits. In other words, there is a genetic connection between India and Europe, but a far more ancient one than was thought.
If one were to extend methodology used to suggest an Aryan invasion based on Y-Dna statistics to populations of Eastern and Southern India, one would be led to an exactly opposite result: the straightforward suggestion would be that both Neolithic (agriculture) and Indo-European languages arose in India and from there, spread to Europe.
- Twenty authors headed by Kivisild - Archaeogenetics of Europe - 2000.
Geneticist Toomas Kivisild led a study (2003) in which comparisons of the diversity of R1a1 (R-M17) haplogroup in Indian, Pakistani, Iranian, Central Asian, Czech and Estonian populations. The study showed that the diversity of R1a1 in India, Pakistan, and Iran, is higher than in Czechs (40%), and Estonians[12].
Kivisild came to the conclusion that "southern and western Asia might be the source of this haplogroup": "Haplogroup R1a, previously associated with the putative Indo-Aryan invasion, was found at its highest frequency in Punjab but also at a relatively high frequency (26%) in the Chenchu tribe. This finding, together with the higher R1a-associated short tandem repeat diversity in India and Iran compared with Europe and central Asia, suggests that southern and western Asia might be the source of this haplogroup".[12]
Given the geographic spread and STR diversities of sister clades R1 and R2, the latter of which is restricted to India, Pakistan, Iran, and southern central Asia, it is possible that southern and western Asia were the source for R1 and R1a differentiation.
- Kivilsid - 2003
The sharing of some Y-chromosomal haplogroups between Indian and Central Asian populations is most parsimoniously explained by a deep, common ancestry between the two regions, with diffusion of some Indian-specific lineages northward.
The Y-chromosomal data consistently suggest a largely South Asian origin for Indian caste communities and therefore argue against any major influx, from regions north and west of India, of people associated either with the development of agriculture or the spread of the Indo-Aryan language family.
Southern castes and tribals are very similar to each other in their Y-chromosomal haplogroup compositions. As a result, it was not possible to confirm any of the purported differentiations between the caste and tribal pools, a conclusion that directly clashes with the Aryan invasion theory which purports that male European Aryans chased tribal adivasis and aboriginals down south.
For me and for Toomas Kivisild, South Asia is logically the ultimate origin of M17(Y-DNA Haplogroup R1a, associated with the male Aryan invasion theory) and his ancestors; and sure enough we find the highest rates and greatest diversity of the M17 line in Pakistan, India, and eastern Iran, and low rates in the Caucasus. M17 is not only more diverse in South Asia than in Central Asia, but diversity characterizes its presence in isolated tribal groups in the south, thus undermining any theory of M17 as a marker of a male Aryan invasion of India. One average estimate for the origin of this line in India is as much as 51,000 years. All this suggests that M17 could have found his way initially from India or Pakistan, through Kashmir, then via Central Asia and Russia, before finally coming into Europe.
-Stephen Oppenheimer
F. Max Muller speaks of the colonization of Persia by the Hindus. Discussing the word 'Arya', he says: "But it was more faithfully preserved by the Zoroastrians, who migrated from India to the North-west and whose religion has been preserved to us in the Zind Avesta, though in fragments only. He again says: "The Zoroastrians were a colony from Northern India."
(source: Science of Language - By Max Muller p. 242-253).
Arnold Hermann Ludwig Heeran says: "In point of fact that Zind is derived from the Sanskrit, and a passage to have descended from the Hindus of the second or warrior caste."
(source: Historical researches into the politics, intercourse, and trade of the Carthaginians, Ethiopians, and Egyptians - By A. H. Heeren Volume II p. 220).
Sir William Jones writes: "I was not a little surprised to find that out of words in Du Perron's Zind Dictionary, six or seven were pure Sanskrit."
(source: Sir William Jones' Works Volume I p. 82-82).
Louis Jacolliot (1837-1890), who worked in French India as a government official and was at one time President of the Court in Chandranagar, translated numerous Vedic hymns, the Manusmriti, and the Tamil work, Kural. This French savant and author of La Bible Dans L'Inde says:
"With such congruence before us, no one, I imagine, will appear to contest the purely Hindu origin of Egypt, unless to suggest that: "And who tells you that it was not Indian that copied Egypt? Any of you require that this affirmation shall be refuted by proofs leaving no room for even a shadow of doubt
"To be quite logical, then deprive India of the Sanskrit, that language which formed all other; but show me in India a leaf of papyrus, a columnar inscription, a temple bas relief tending to prove Egyptian birth."
1.1 Peter Von Bohlen (1796 1840), a German Indologist, in his two volume monumental work Ancient India with special reference to Egypt compared, at length, ancient Egypt with India. He thought there was a cultural connection between the two in ancient times. Egypt being at the receiving end.
Heinrich Karl Brugsch agrees with this view and writes in his History of Egypt that,
"We have a right to more than suspect that India, eight thousand years ago, sent a colony of emigrants who carried their arts and high civilization into what is now known as Egypt." The Egyptians came, according to their records, from a mysterious land (now known to lie on the shores of the Indian Ocean)."
Col. Henry Steel Olcott, a former president of the Theosophical Society, who explained in a March, 1881 edition of The Theosophist (page 123) that:
"We have a right to more than suspect that India, eight thousand years ago, sent a colony of emigrants who carried their arts and high civilization into what is now known to us as Egypt...This is what Bengsch Bey, the modern as well as the most trusted Egyptologer and antiquarian says on the origin of the old Egyptians. Regarding these as a branch of the Caucasian family having a close affinity with the Indo-Germanic races, he insists that they 'migrated from India before historic memory, and crossed that bridge of nations, the Isthus of Suez, to find a new fatherland on the banks of the Nile."
1.2 Many others have also written on similar lines (e.g. El Mansouri, Sir William Jones, Paul William Roberts, and Adolf Eramn).
Max Muller had also observed that the mythology of Egyptians (and also that of the Greeks and Assyrians) is wholly founded on Vedic traditions. Eusebius, a Greek writer, has also recorded that the early Ethiopians emigrated from the river Indus and first settled in the vicinity of Egypt.
The Egyptians came, according to their own records, from a mysterious land...on the shore of the Indian Ocean, the sacred Punt; the original home of their gods...who followed thence after their people who had abandoned them to the valley of the Nile, led by Amon, Hor and Hathor. This region was the Egyptian 'Land of the Gods,' Pa-Nuter, in old Egyptian, or Holyland, and now proved beyond any doubt to have been quite a different place from the Holyland of Sinai. By the pictorial hieroglyphic inscription found on the walls of the temple of the Queen Haslitop at Der-el-babri, we see that this Punt can be no other than India. For many ages the Egyptians traded with their old homes, and the reference here made by them to the names of the Princes of Punt and its fauna and flora, especially the nonmenclature of various precious woods to be found but in India, leave us scarcely room for the smallest doubt that the old civilization of Egypt is the direct outcome of that the older India."
(source: Theosophist for March 1881 p. 123).
It is believed that the Dravidians from India went to Egypt and laid the foundation of its civilization there. the Egyptians themselves had the tradition that they originally came from the South, from a land called Punt, which an historian of the West, Dr. H.R. Hall
The Indus Valley civilization is, according to Sir John Marshall who was in charge of the excavations, the oldest of all civilizations unearthed (c. 4000 B.C.) It is older than the Sumerian and it is believed by many that the latter was a branch of the former.
Adolf Erman (1854-1937) author of Life in ancient Egypt and A handbook of Egyptian religion, says that the persons who were responsible for a highly developed Egyptian civilization were from Punt, an Asiatic country, a description of which is unveiled by this scholar from the old legends - a distant country washed by the great seas, full of valleys, incense, balsum, precious metals and stones; rich in animals, cheetahs, panthers, dog-headed apes and long tailed monkeys, winged creatures with strange feathers to fly up to the boughs of wonderful trees, especially the incense tree and the coconut trees.
Dr. Erman further says that analyzing the Egyptian legends makes it clear that from Punt the heavenly beings headed by Amen, Horus and Hather, passed into the Nile valley...To this same country belongs that idol of Bes, the ancient figure of the deity in the Land of Punt.
Klaus K. Klostermaier, in his book A Survey of Hinduism p. 18 says:
"For several centuries a lively commerce developed between the ancient Mediterranean world and India, particularly the ports on the Western coast. The most famous of these ports was Sopara, not far from modern Bombay, which was recently renamed Mumbai. Present day Cranganore in Kerala, identified with the ancient Muziris, claims to have had trade contacts with Ancient Egypt under Queen Hatsheput, who sent five ships to obtain spices, as well as with ancient Israel during King Soloman's reign. Apparently, the contact did not break off after Egypt was conquered by Greece and later by Rome.
Arnold Hermann Ludwig Heeren (1760-1842) an Egyptologist has observed: "It is perfectly agreeable to Hindu manners that colonies from India, i.e., Banian families should have passed over Africa, and carried with them their industry, and perhaps also their religious worship." "Whatever weight may be attached to Indian tradition and the express testimony of Eusebius confirming the report of migrations from the banks of the Indus into Egypt, there is certainly nothing improbable in the event itself, as a desire of gain would have formed a sufficient inducement."
(source: Historical Researches - Heeran p. 309).
Louis Jacolliot has written:
Egypt received from India, by Manes or Manu, its social institutions and laws, which resulted in division of the people into four castes, and placing the priest in the first rank; in the second, kings; then traders and artisans; and last in the social scale, the proletaire the menial almost a slave.
Gustav Oppert (1836-1908) born in Hamburg, Germany, he taught Sanskrit and comparative linguistics at the Presidency College, Madras for 21 years. He was the Telugu translator to the Government and Curator, Government Oriental Manuscript Library. He wrote a book Die Gottheiten der Indier ("The Gods of the Indians") in 1905.
In his book Oppert discussed the chief gods of the Aryans and he compares Aditi with Egyptian Isis and the Babylonian Ea.
(source: German Indologists: Biographies of Scholars in Indian Studies writing in German - By Valentine Stache-Rosen. p.81-82).
We are not completely in the dark on the question of Indian influence on Greece. Speaking of ascetic practices in the West, Professor Sir Flinders Petrie (1853-1942) British archaeologist and Egyptologist, author of Egypt and Israel (1911) observes:
"The presence of a large body of Indian troops in the Persian army in Greece in 480 B.C. shows how far west the Indian connections were carried; and the discovery of modeled heads of Indians at Memphis, of about the fifth century B.C. shows that Indians were living there for trade. Hence there is no difficulty in regarding India as the source of the entirely new ideal of asceticism in the West."
Friedrich Wilhelm, Freiherr von Bissing (1873-1956) wrote:
"The land of Punt in the Egyptian ethnological traditions has been identified by the scholars with the Malabar coast of Deccan. From this land ebony, and other rich woods, incense, balsam, precious metals, etc. used to be imported into Egypt."
(source: Prehistoricsche Topfen aus Indien and Aegypten - By Friedrich Wilhelm, Freiherr von Bissing. Chapter VIII ).
Sir William Jones says:
"Of the cursory observations on the Hindus, which it would require volumes to expand and illustrate, this is the result, that they had an immemorial affinity with the old Persians, Ethiopians and Egyptians, the Phoenicians, Greeks, and Tuscans, the Scythians, or Goths, and Celts, the Chinese, Japanese, and Peruvians."
(source: Asiatic Researches - volume I p. 426).
Michel Danino (b. June 4, 1956 at Honfleur), is a French‐born Indian author who has been living in Tamil Nadu, India since 1977.[1]
He participated in the translation and publication of the works of Sri Aurobindo and of The Mother. Danino also edited India's Rebirth (a selection from Sri Aurobindo's works about India, first published in 1993, translated into nine Indian languages) and India the Mother. He engaged himself also for the preservation of tropical rainforest in the Nilgiri Hills. In 2001, he convened the International Forum for India's Heritage (IFIH), having over 160 eminent founder members, with the mission of promoting the essential values of India's heritage in every field of life.
In The Invasion that Never Was (2000), he has criticized the "Aryan invasion theory" and its proponents, instead opting for the notion of "Indigenous Aryans". Danino asserts that Aryans are indigenous to India.
In the 18th century, India was regarded as the origin of civilization, by thinkers like Voltaire and Schlegel.
Voltaire Francois Marie Arouet (1694-1774) France's greatest writer and philosopher wrote:
" I am convinced that everything has come down to us from the banks of the Ganges, - astronomy, astrology, metempsychosis, etc." " It is very important to note that some 2,500 years ago at the least Pythagoras went from Samos to the Ganges to learn geometry...But he would certainly not have undertaken such a strange journey had the reputation of the Brahmins' science not been long established in Europe..."
Friedrich von Schlegel (1772-1829) German philosopher, critic, and writer, declared in 1803:
"Everything without exception is of Indian origin.." "whether directly or indirectly, all nations are originally nothing but Indian colonies."
(source: The Invasion That Never Was - By Michel Danino and Sujata Nahar p. 12 - 13 and 90 - 91).
Refer to Voltaire, Lettres sur l'origine des sciences et sur celle des peuples de l'Asia (first published Paris, 1777), letter of 15 December 1775. and Voltaire, Fragments historiques sur l'linde, p. 444 - 445.
First Europeans came from Asia
SYDNEY: The first human species to make it to Europe one and a half million years ago may have come from Asia, not Africa, according to an analysis of 5,000 fossil teeth.
It had been assumed for a long time that that the colonisation of Eurasia was the result of several out-of-Africa migrations, said Maria Martinón-Torres, from the National Centre for the Investigation of Human Evolution in Burgos, Spain.
But Martinón-Torres and her team now present evidence that migration from Asia may have had a greater impact. Their results are published this week in the U.S. journal the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Re: Aryan invasion theory - few new developments, facts
I haven't seen any reason to assume that the Indus Valley Civilization was something other than an offshoot of other early White-founded civilizations of that period like Sumeria and Egypt. It seems pretty clear to me that civilization started there because we brought it, and if fell after we left (which perhaps happened more than once).
As to whether the dying embers of the civilization were "invaded" by later Whites or merely showed population flux as the average citizen became darker and darker, prompting Whites to shift around in location, I don't know.
I do know, however, that the Dravidian-descended (Australoid) population there now doesn't seem to be up to the task of maintaining a pre-established civilization, so I sincerely doubt they could ever have built one from scratch. The wonders of ancient India were our achievement, not theirs.

Re: Aryan invasion theory - few new developments, facts
The Indus valley civilization was white-Caucasian, as was northern india (as can be seen today in some Bengal and Northern circles) while the Southern Indian race was if anything, proto-Caucasian, a distinction some rare "pure" persons hold to this day, while the rest have reverted or mixed to a baser state by simply being there for thousands of years.
The Aryans took over the north, and the northern Indians there, the Dravidians, moved south over time, instead of a huge population movement. The southern Indians didn't move but mingled with them and adopted their culture.
From there, southern India has had trade with Africa, FURTHERING their racial demise, and most southern Indians would repulse anyone, while Northerners barely register as anything. There's a reason, why, during the pre-genetic age of race maps, southern India would most likely be labelled under the ??? race, as unknown, or more rarely, the race the maker of the map thought them as.
But for now, the Indian is barely anything but a mixed or proto-anything, who struggle to remain in unision with each other, poor, and only starting to improve literacy and education and gender equality. Barely, at that.
As for Indians becoming Europeans, eh. The earlier ones were Caucasian and I do think Aryans, from central asia and who took over Europe, might as well had come back from there, but I doubt INDIANS were the earliest people here - see the basques for that.

Re: Aryan invasion theory - few new developments, facts
I am curious about ancient Iran as well? Aryans were said to have Invaded there as well. Modern Iranians are no doubt Semitic I'm assuming but what about those of antiquity? I have read that Iran means "Land of the Aryans", and I had always figured these (Iran and India) to have been part of the same Invasion.

Re: Aryan invasion theory - few new developments, facts
This is the thing that libtards don't understand about WWII Germany's fixation on Aryans (and being libtards, they don't bother to check the truth of what they are being spoon-fed). The Germans were not confused about the people living in the modern Middle East or India who are currently (and mistakenly) referred to as "Aryans," nor did the Germans think Scandinavians lived in Babylonia.
Science was just starting to find (in the early part of the twentieth century) that our race founded the civilizations in the Middle East and India. It was obvious then that the ancient Whites there (Aryans) made far greater contributions to the original creation of civilization than anyone had previously realized. The German reference to Aryans was a recognition of the racial identity of a very early people who accomplished remarkable feats. It was an acknowledgment that those people were also OUR people. It would be like referring to ourselves as the ancient Romans or the ancient Greeks. We ARE, after all, the same race. Many of us are direct descendants of those great people.
That is why the swastika is still used in places like India even though almost none of the people there are now White. It turns up pretty much everywhere our race has ever been. It is virtually the symbol of the White race (which is why Hitler wanted it on their flag), and that makes the anti-White aspect of banning this symbol even more revealing: They want to destroy our race, so the symbol of it must be prohibited, too.
Isn't it interesting how these well-established facts aren't taught in our schools? What are they afraid White children might realize if they were told the truth about the swastika and the fact that our race seems to have founded nearly every major civilization of antiquity?

Tasmania's award-winning Port Arthur Historic Site will add new features to its visitor attractions this summer.
The Minister for Tourism, Parks and Heritage Ken Bacon announced the changes at today's Loving it to Death conference at Port Arthur, jointly hosted by the International Council on Monuments and Sites and the Port Arthur Historic Site Management Authority.
A convict dam and a scenic walking trail highlighting the Port Arthur penal settlement's water supply will be open to the public in January 2005.
Mr Bacon said the new convict dam and mill race trail attractions would broaden an already extensive visitor experience at Port Arthur.
"They illustrate a fascinating aspect of the settlement's engineering history and complement the ongoing conservation and reconstruction program at Port Arthur," he said.
"The new jetty and pathway system at the Point Puer boys' prison site, as well as the introduction of guided tours to Point Puer, have proved very popular additions at Port Arthur this year.
"The new Convict Study Centre has been a hit with visitors researching their convict heritage and the jetty shelter at Mason Cove has been a welcome innovation.
"There is little wonder Port Arthur continues to be among the winners at the Tasmanian Tourism Awards."
The Minister for Tourism, Parks and Heritage, Ken Bacon, said the new attractions continued a tradition of introducing top-level visitor experiences at Port Arthur and illustrated why the site won the State's top tourism award for the fifth consecutive year.
"To be named yet again as Tasmania's major tourist attraction is a testament to the consistently high standard of visitor services achieved at Port Arthur," Mr Bacon said.
"It recognises the site's important contribution to the local community and economy.
"It also confirms the value of the State's investment in this iconic Tasmanian site."
Mr Bacon said visitor numbers to Port Arthur have increased 26 per cent in the last two years with a record 253,122 day visitors in 2003-04.
The extremely popular Historic Ghost Tours attracted 58,951 visitors.
Mr Bacon encouraged Tasmanians to enjoy the world-class cultural heritage attractions at Port Arthur by visiting the Family Activity Centre and participating in some of the summer activities including the Summer Plays Program, the Public Archaeology Program and garden tours.

The six-foot, 150-pound native of Port Antonio, Jamaica, joined the Residency program last September and has performed well in major international youth tournaments. Most notably, last March, Orgill scored goals against the academy sides of Germany's Eintracht Frankfurt and England's Leicester City at the Dallas Cup XXIX. Orgill has started both PDL games for the Whitecaps this season and has one goal to his credit. Prior to joining the Whitecaps, the striker was a member of Jamaican club Progressive FC, in the Portland Football Association Division One. Orgill has also represented Titchfield High in the previous two Inter-Secondary Schools Association DaCosta Cup competitions. Internationally, Orgill was the captain of the 2007 Jamaican side at the CONCACAF U-17 World Cup qualifiers and scored the game-tying goal against USA, as the Reggae Boyz went on to defeat the Stars & Stripes 3-2. The striker also scored five goals in six games at the 2006 Caribbean Cup. These included goals against Canada, Cuba and Mexico. In 2005, Orgill earned the Golden Boot award in the Caribbean Football Union's Under-15 tournament held in Trinidad & Tobago after scoring 12 times in six games. In total, Orgill has scored 22 goals in his 22 appearances with the national team. Vancouver Whitecaps FC Residency is a full-time program dedicated to developing North America's top youth players in Vancouver. Vancouver Whitecaps FC Residency allows elite youth players from U-17 to U-19 to achieve professional opportunities with the Whitecaps men's team and world-class European clubs using the European club model of identification, development and placement. The Whitecaps are set to battle the Portland Timbers tonight at PGE Park (7:00 p.m. - webcast: USLlive.com). The Whitecaps next home game at Swangard Stadium is on Saturday, June 7, when the women take on Seattle Sounders at 4:00 p.m. and men host the Timbers at 7:00 p.m. June 7 is a Wendy's Family Night - four tickets and two Wendy's Kids' Meals for only $48.

Some games require that IOS be installed for those games to work. Most of the time the IOS will be contained in an official NINTENDO update. However not everyone wishes to update the firmware of their Wii. This guide is for those who do not wish to do so. This guide is for those who are willing to or have installed both HBC and Gecko.
To install the IOS only you need to have HBC and Gecko and a FULL backup (ISO or .wbfs including the update partition)
1. I am assuming you have the HomeBrew Channel Installed and Gecko on your SD Card Already. If not then use this tutorial: TUTORIAL: Install GeckoOS
2. WODE Settings - Game Patching:
Region Patch: OFF
Updates: YES
AutoBoot: OFF (No longer present for firmware update 2.00 and higher)
3. Select the game on the LCD
4. Wait until you see the Update appear in the Wii channel
5. Start the HBC
6. Start Gecko
7. Launch Game
8. Gecko will state it needs an IOS to be installed and ask if you want to install it. Answer YES (Press "A" )
Note: All IOS to the best of my knowledge are not region dependant.
9. The game might start after the installation. Quit the game back to the Wii Main Menu if it does and eject the game.
The IOS will install.
10. Change your WODE Settings again.
11. WODE Settings - Game Patching:
Region Patch: ON
Updates: NO
AutoBoot: OFF
12. Select the Game
13. Start the Game via the Disc Channel
This is a guide that Zephyer put together all I did was some basic edititing. All credit to him all errors and omissions are mine alone. Aether reminded me about the importance of the Update partition in this whole process. So guess you could say it was a WODEteam effort. :008:

CITY FOCUS: Fracking firms face fault lines despite Government's go-ahead
Much has been made of the 'dash for gas' expected after yesterday's Government go-ahead for 'fracking', the controversial method of tapping into gas reserves trapped in underground shale rocks.
But for the companies hoping to invest good money in shale gas, the race still looks like more of a hurdles event than a straight sprint.
Despite the cautious backing offered by the Department for Energy and Climate Change, sizeable obstacles stand between exploration and production.
Limits: Firms are required to stop all activity if seismic activity of more than 0.5 on the Richter scale is recorded
For now, the industry has given a big welcome to yesterday's green light from the DECC. Its decision ended an 18-month moratorium on fracking, imposed when shale explorer Cuadrilla Resources caused a series of small earthquakes in Lancashire.
Cuadrilla, the only company to start exploration work in the UK to date, was unsurprisingly fulsome in its praise for the ban being lifted.
Chief executive Francis Egan spoke of a 'turning point for the country's energy future', hailing shale's potential to 'create jobs, generate tax revenues, reduce our reliance on imported gas, and improve our balance of payments'.
Andrew Austin, boss of rival iGas Energy, was similarly bombastic, speaking of the chance to 'transform the UK's energy market and economy'. One of the few shale explorers to be listed on a UK exchange, iGas enjoyed a bump of nearly 8pc in its share price. Yet, just like the seismic tremors that triggered the fracking ban, there are fault lines beneath the surface.
Industry body the UK Onshore Operators' Group has identified some of them.
As chairman David Robottom points out, the 'traffic light' approach envisaged by the Government requires firms to stop all activity if it records seismic activity of more than 0.5 on the Richter scale.
'A big truck passing the bottom of your garden can be somewhere between 2 and 2.5,' Robottom points out.
'0.5 would be totally impractical'.
As another industry source notes: 'It would be hard to do shale gas exploration if that remains'.
Energy secretary Ed Davey has acknowledged that this threshold may be raised, but for now it appears to make shale exploration all but impossible. UKOOG is also wary of the potential planning obstacles to development.
While central government may have given its blessing, planning decisions will be made at local level, where the multitude of anti-fracking groups wield greater influence.
'Our members are saying this is an industry of potential national importance,' said Robottom.
'Should this sort of application be done centrally as opposed to with local authorities?'
If decisions are left at local level, shale firms may find their investment propositions looking increasingly unattractive in the face of long delays in obtaining the requisite approvals.
They will also have to show that they can bring in the water needed for fracking without causing a nuisance for local people and dispose of the waste water left over in an environmentally sustainable manner.
But there are plenty of reasons to be positive, not least that development funding is unlikely to prove difficult to secure for the firms sitting on 176 exploration licences.
UK shale players – such as Cuadrilla, iGas Energy, Dart Energy, Coastal Oil and Gas, UK Methane, Third Energy and Alkane Energy – boast backers with deep pockets.
Cuadrilla is co-owned by Australian engineering group AJ Lucas and Riverstone, the investment firm of former BP chief executive Lord Browne.
Meanwhile, iGas counts sizeable institutionals such as Henderson and BlackRock on its share register, while 24 per cent majority holder Nexen is in the midst of a takeover by Chinese state oil firm CNOOC.
Dart Energy is backed by Australian coal miner New Hope Corporation. Third Energy is owned by private equity group Barclays Natural Resources Investment.
The others can also count on the support of a diverse range of investors, from venture capitalists to state oil firms, to major energy players from all parts of the world.
Environmental concerns appear to have been dismissed too.
Plenty of public opposition remains, but studies by the Royal Society and the Royal Academy of Engineering have played down the risk of water contamination, one of the biggest fears around fracking.
As Frank Chapman, the boss of FTSE gas player BG Group, said in October, the 'jury is out' on whether shale can have a seismic influence on household bills and energy security.
But with Whitehall offering cautious support, production could be a reality as soon as 2016.
Shale gas firms must now show that they can operate to the highest safety and environmental standards imaginable, if major barriers such as the 0.5 Richter scale limit are to be removed.
If they cannot, the pilot light of the shale industry could sputter out just as quickly as it sparked into life.

Art educators have to deal with a lot of issues, so we've created topics that will help you find what you're looking for. Each one covers a different area relevant to art teachers today so go ahead and explore them.
On Monday, I talked about how to use a portfolio as an assessment tool by using my handy Portfolio Cover Sheets. Now, I am going to explain how I make the portfolios and other details surrounding this process. I was lucky to run into some amazing free paper from our print shop in our district. It was too thick to run through their printers, so I had them cut it down for me. I am using these for my portfolios! Did I mention it was totally free?!
I learned a new way to fold the Portfolios on Teach Kids Art. Her portfolios leave a little space at the top to write names. This is very handy and I decided to do this as well.
After you fold the portfolios in half, you write the names at the top. Then, I just keep stuffing them throughout the year. I do have kids help me. I have what I call "Portfolio Day" where kids help pass back art a few times a year.
Why Portfolios?
I have adopted the philosophy that art should be sent home in a way that honors the art as a special event, rather than one piece at time that may get stuffed in a backpack and not held with a high regard. I Encourage parents to have a "Portfolio Night" at their house and sit down with their child and go through the work and look at their growth and processes. There are times I will send the occasional "stray" piece home, and also the 3D or ceramic work will be sent home separate.
When do I sent Portfolios Home?
I usually send them home around the time of the second report card (February or March). The remaining pieces from the year I will send home on their own. I don't like the idea of keeping the work all year long, because then parents have no real idea what their student is doing in art. I want to strike that balance of "keeping the art" and "sending the art home."
Another reason I keep the artwork? To save for art shows and other honors. If I send it all home I will not have the best to pick from for all of my art displays!
When do you send home art and how do you handle that process? I am always looking for ways to improve this daunting task of passing out and collecting hundreds of pieces of art. I can't wait to hear your ideas!

"Big Time Tennis, Severed Southern Style." This is the slogan now adorning the annual Winston Salem Open. The now southern based annual professional tennis tournament, the Winston Salem Open has gone through many changes through the years, but since beginning in 1981 has brought some of the biggest names in tennis to Winston-Salem, North Carolina to battle on the hard court. Fans of the sport can travel to Wake Forest University in Winston Salem every summer to see the tournament unfold at the school's tennis stadiums.

WE'RE HEARING from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania a k a the Keystone State where Public Act 73 of 2013 was recently enacted on Oct. 9. The act adopts the revised uniform law on notarial acts. Don't touch that mouse because in practice this is actually practically important. Parts of the law make sense, which include a test to become a notary and a continuing education requirement. However, one small part of the 44-page law requires a notary to keep a journal of notarial acts.
In case you have not been to a closing lately there are a ridiculous number of documents to be signed. Many of them have to be notarized. This takes time. The new law requires notaries to maintain a contemporaneous journal of their "notarial acts" for each document they notarize. Perhaps this will somehow cut down on fraud. What it will do is add time to each and every closing. Basically for every document that is notarized you will spend an equal amount of time waiting for the poor notary to enter the info into a journal. Each notary act requires you to enter four to five items of information.
The law is not supposed to fully kick in until 2015 and "regulations" have to be developed to implement it. Someone should take into consideration the length of time a closing is going to take if the notary has to keep a contemporaneous journal. Maybe technology will eventually advance so we can do a fingerprint check at closing to make sure no fraud is taking place. Some of you may remember fingerprinting from your NMLS experience.
Speaking of the NMLS, Texas has just adopted the NMLS Uniform State Test, which replaces state-specific test components for the states that adopt it. The UST has 25 specific questions. Most states have adopted the UST but there are still 16 states that have not including New York, California, Florida and Illinois. There is no requirement that a state adopt the UST but in those states you will have to take the national test and individual state's test.
Last week I had a haunted house Halloween story. To follow up there is now a website where for a small fee you can find out if someone died in a particular house. Apparently some people are turned off from buying a home if someone had died in it. I came across this in a discussion of what can kill a residential house sale.
Next we hear from the FTC where we have the fine-print story of the week. The FTC recently cracked down on another payday lender. This time because the multistate lender required a consumer with a complaint to resolve the matter in arbitration. The kicker was that the arbitration had to be conducted on an Indian Reservation located in South Dakota. Have a nice trip.
Finally we close in my home state of Michigan where we are hearing from the Home Builders Association of Greater Grand Rapids. Need a job? Well if you have a skill at homebuilding there is a labor shortage. Many builders report that young folks are not entering the skills trade anymore and that type of education is not being offered in high school. I blame it on video games.

The Hurlingham Club, London, 21 - 23 July 2010
The fifth annual Salon Privé gathering was held at its regular
venue, the exclusive Hurlingham Club, on the banks of the River
Thames in South West London. The event is a high end outdoor
motor show, with the addition of a classic car concours, "Beautiful
People", headed this year by Miss Great Britain, plus lifestyle
brands like Audemars Piguet, Boodles, Six Senses Resorts &
Spas, Ventura (UK) agents for Riva powerboats, Vertu and
Vranken-Pommery Monopole, whose Pommery Champagne
flowed freely for the duration of the event.
This year the major manufacturers present were headed by
Jaguar, who in celebration of their 75th Anniversary had an
expansive array of cars on display, not only from their current
range, but also of iconic models from their glorious history. There
was also a strong presence from Aston Martin, whose display
included the 4 door Rapide model, first shown a t the Geneva
Salon earlier this year, whilst Audi displayed an R8 V10 Spyder
amonst there offerings, Bugatti showed the Veron 16.4 Grand
Sport, Lamborghini had the LP570-4 Superleggera on display
through their British importer H.R. Owen, whilst Bentley, Lexus,
Lotus, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, Morgan and Rolls Royce were
other major names in attendance. There were also international
niche and low volume specialists like Atomik Cars from France,
with a Fiat 500 based concept, the Atomik 500, Sportec from
Switzerland with their Porsche based SPR1R, Vermot AG from
Germany with their Veritas RS III, Techart with a modified
Porsche Panamera Turbo, and the better known Tesla electric
powered roadster.
In the concours there was quite naturally a class for Jaguars to
celebrate the anniversary, and within this group there was a fine
selection of the company's products over the years, which ranged
from a 1938 SS 100, through the groundbreaking XK 120, which
really put the Jaguar name on the world map, which spawned the
legendary "C" and "D" Type sports racing models from the fifties,
examples of which were also entered, which led to the XK SS,
then into the iconic sixties sports car the "E" Type. Another class
was for Maseratis from the Orsi era, with a nice selection of
predominantly road cars, mainly from the sixties, whilst in
celebration of Alfa Romeo's centenary there was a class for pre-
1940 Race cars, with other classes featuring Bugatti pre-war
Touring Cars, Hypercars: 200mph pre-2000, The Hollywood Era:
Big Fins from the Fifties, and a special motorcycle class. The
Overall Best of Show Award went to the spectacular blue and
white 1932 Alfa Romeo Monza of Hugh Taylor, which is a regular
Mille Miglia contender, and gets regular exercise in many other
events during the course of the season.
