The MP3 service, called AutoRip, will be automatically backdated to any purchases made since 1999 and gives customers instant access to their new music days before it arrives in the post.
More than 350,000 albums are included in the service, with Amazon claiming there will be no knock-on effect on prices.
AutoRip will be seen as a new weapon in the battle for the online music market and especially the likes of Apple's iTunes - the market leader, which offers a download-only service.
The system has been running in the US since January this year.
Tracks are added to a person's Amazon Cloud Player account in high-quality 256 Kbps MP3 format and can then be streamed or downloaded to devices such as tablets, smartphones or desktop computers.
The service does not apply to items bought as gifts or music purchased from private sellers on the Amazon Marketplace.
Amazon became the UK's biggest music retailer in 2012, with 25.6% of the entire music market. iTunes is not far behind though and claims 22.5% of all sales.
Both companies are looking to capture sales from a much smaller HMV, which was forced to close nearly half its stores after a much-publicised downturn in its fortunes.
Subscription-based music services like Spotify have also added to the competitiveness of the music market in recent years, with many fans content to 'pay-as-you-go' instead of actually downloading and owning their music.
Amazon will be hoping the new service is well received - the company was one of many recently criticised over its tax affairs, having only paid £2.4m in UK taxes in 2012.

There are certain days in recent history that stand out in our memories as if they just happened, and Sept. 11, 2001, is one of those days. Several folks in Ponte Vedra Beach this past week reflected on their memories of that tragic day when commercial jet liners were used as weapons by terrorists, plummeting into the Twin Towers in New York City, the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. and into a pasture in Pennsylvania. On Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2012, 11 years will have passed since that morning when, at 8:46 a.m., American Airlines Flight No. 11 crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center and changed the world as we knew it.
Here are some of their remembrances:
■ "I know the world changed that day because I kept a copy of the Sept. 11, 2001, New York Times showing the 'before,'" declared James Vito Longo, brandishing that very newspaper with a colorful photo of carefree New Yorkers on a Manhattan sidewalk in the fashion district and the headline, "The Show Outside the Show." Longo remembers being in his shoe repair shop in Ponte Vedra Beach that morning and getting a phone call from his brother, Nicholas, saying, "Jim! Turn on the TV!" In retrospect, the thing that struck Longo as he remained glued to the television was that President George W. Bush was in Florida that morning, reading to school children. "Soon, the president was up in the air, the vice president was up in the air and I kept wondering, 'Who's in charge of this country?'" Today, Longo says, he still wonders about that sometimes. "I'm a baby boomer," he said, "and in my opinion, the world is worse than it's ever been. The lines between races and religions are even stronger. I'm worried about the world my grandchildren will inherit."
■ Now an officer at the Fifth/Third Bank in Ponte Vedra Beach, Eric Krall was a day-trader in Boca Raton on Sept. 11, 2001, with access to all the news channels right at his finger-tips. "When I first saw smoke billowing from the tower, I commented that a small plane must have hit it by accident," says Krall.
"My trading partner, a former Marine, said, 'Eric, that was no small plane. I believe we're under attack.' Those words resonated with him then and still do today.
"Our boss had been in the Trade Center that morning and was on the tarmac at JFK Airport when it happened," says Krall. "It turned out to be a several day travel ordeal for him, but it could have been so much worse. I think we all are more aware of possible danger now whenever we're in public spaces."
■ A dentist and a pilot, Dr. Roy Clarke remembers watching the planes hit the Twin Towers and feeling his alarm grow as the second plane hit. "It impressed upon me our nation's vulnerability, that a fully fueled airplane could be turned into a weapon of mass destruction was frightening. They penetrated our defenses easily and that concern for our safety remains with me," said Clarke. On the up side, the doctor believes we cannot destroy our quality of life by looking over our shoulders all the time.
"9/11 brought my antenna up a little higher," he said, "It made me more observant of others than I've ever been before."
■ Sitting on a bench outside the Ponte Vedra Library, Tommy Andrew Nolan Jr. gave his unique take on Sept. 11, 2001. "I had just arrived in Houston, Texas,' he recalled.
"I'd gotten off of a freight train and was walking along listening to my Walkman radio. When I heard what was happening, I almost couldn't believe it — our Pentagon had just gotten hit by a plane." Nolan must have felt it was time to pray. He remembers walking faster in the direction of a Catholic Church where he knew the priest.
■ Mimi Akan's father is a Muslim, born and raised in Turkey. Her mother was born and raised in Germany. Her parents became American citizens and her father is a retired doctor.
"I was raised in a house where it was stressed that we were Americans, and proud of it," recalls Akan, "but after 9/11, my father was looked on suspiciously by strangers." When the terrorist attacks happened on 9/11/2011, Akan already had a trip to New York planned for Sept. 15, and she went on that trip — going straight to Ground Zero when she got to the city. "There were tons of firemen and policemen everywhere," she remembers.
"Cameras were flashing all over the place. A big church is across the street and its tall iron fence was covered by flowers and messages — there were even sheets that had been painted and hung up on the fence with messages — it was a sad sort of graffiti." Walking the circumference of that church and reading all of the messages, Mimi Akan remembers her grief as palpable. "Before 9/11, it was always something that happened far away — on the other side of the world — but this wasn't far away," said Akan. "This was right here in America."

PDSA Pet Fit Camp Winner Announced [25/01/2006]
Another seven previously overweight pets have overcome their vices to complete the PDSA Pet Fit Camp 2005. They all battled the bulge with the hope of taking the �Pet Fit Camp Champ� title, winning the prize of a pet-friendly holiday in Dorset and of course improving their health and fitness. Chosen by Fame Academy guru, Kevin Adams, and PDSA Senior Veterinary Surgeon, Elaine Pendlebury, the seven contenders took part in a 100-day diet and fitness programme, including regular check ups and weigh-ins from their local PDSA vet, and providing essential guidance for their owners.
At the end of 2005 Golden Retriever, Oakley, beat five other finalists by shedding 7.6kg (16% of his own bodyweight!). Lisa Deadman, Oakley�s owner, said: �I�m so proud of Oakley and the slimming success he has achieved in such a short time. We used to enjoy cuddling up in front of the TV and snacking on our favourite biscuits, but that has all changed thanks to good advice from PDSA. Oakley has so much more energy now he is slimmer, and we enjoy going for long walks and playing in the park instead.� The combined effort of all the 2005 contenders raised over �500 of sponsorship for PDSA.
This January, PDSA vets are urging people with podgy pets to take a look at the health of their animals, and to extend their New Year�s resolutions to include their overweight pets. Statistics from the charity show that the one in three dogs and one in 5 cats in the UK are overweight! To help inspire and advise pet owners to aid their pets to lose weight the PDSA have updated their popular Pet Diet and Nutrition leaflet, which offers help and advice on providing a well balanced diet.
�Many people simply don�t realise that pet obesity can cause serious health problems,� says PDSA Senior Veterinary Surgeon, Elaine Pendlebury. �Overweight pets are at a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes and arthritis. �January is a time when many of us make New Year�s resolutions to be healthier, but our pet�s health is just as important, so get their year off to a positive start too and pick up one of our leaflets.�
If you are keen to shed a few pounds with your pet and want to pick up a PDSA Pet Diet and Nutrition leaflet visit the PDSA website for locations of their hospitals, charity shops or call 0800 917 2509.

OK now go outside and start the big one so we can make smores. What are you waiting for? HA!
Thank you Hanne.Young man! This is just a prelude to a wonderful fire. One has to eliminate the trash in order to build a better fire. I will add the proper kindling and seasoned logs to create a campfire of the highest quality. Be patient andd wait. Ha!
Wonderful, thanks so very much Sandy!!
What a bunch of sentimental wooses. Get some of that smoke in my eyes and It appears as if I had a heart and was crying. HA! I say. Would you roast your smores on something like that? Smoked smores, we may have something at that...... Nice one Chickster! You can come over and set my place on fire any time to clean up all the trash there is in the yard. Merry Christmas to everyone and have a never ending Happy New Year....
I still say it's fun to look at! That is, as long as the smoke doesn't get in my eyes! There you go PG, everything is legal in Southern IL, Well, almost!
I can smell the smoke! It's following me as I move about the campfire!
Some things might not be legal, but noone inforces it.
Everything is legal in Southern IL.
You are so right Ank. I have shifted many a seat at the campfires.
As I said, stay at the right side of the fire.
OK, I confess. It is stuff I deadheaded from the gardens. Yes it is legal. Unfortunately, I see people burn tires and anything else they want to get rid of. They don't care about our lovely earth.
That looks like a leaf burning pile not a campfire young lady. Is it legal to do that in you neck of the woods?

Sunset Exclusive: Big Dreams – Mike Stud featuring KAM Royal
So last time we dropped Mike Stud on Sunset in the Rearview, you guys were big fans. Like, really big fans. I'll let you speak for yourselves-Risa921: "This song is amazing! And he sings too! Huge fan! Love this guy!!! WOW"- Meredith S.: "Mike Stud-lyrical wit!"- Trainerone51: " I don't like a lot of rap, but this kid is talented and hilarious." So, yeah, I'd say that's some pretty positive response for this Duke kid. Anyway, Mike's got a really interesting story for a rapper.
"Big Dreams" has a harder beat than Ratatat's "Beat One," and Mike certainly goes hard on this track. Still, he has some hilarious rhymes on this track. "The girls say I'm heartless/ Something like a donor/ I go harder than a boner." With a great sounding hook on really strong verses, Mike's flow stays on point throughout the song, and this one is a banger for sure. With a tight collaboration verse from KAM Royal, this is Mike's best song yet. KAM comes with some serious lyrical wit as well, with lines like "They say live by two words/ Fuck failure/ I'm tryna be a bigger allstar/ Than Chuck Taylor."
There's certainly a new wave of white rappers coming out of Massachusetts (Sam Adams, Cam Meekins, Authentic, etc), and with KAM and Mike hitting the scene it looks like they're bringing the white rapper movement to DC in a big way. Stay tuned for more coming out of Mike, this kid's going places.

Schuylkill crashes
State police at Schuylkill Haven reported on the following crashes investigated by troopers on Schuylkill County roadways.
A one-vehicle crash occurred about noon on Saturday, Dec. 10, along Deiberts Valley Road, in South Manheim Township. Troopers said Dylan Scott Drost, 21, of Schuylkill Haven, was westbound in a 1996 Honda Accord when the vehicle crossed both lanes of travel and struck an embankment along the berm causing the vehicle to roll over and come to rest on its roof.
Drost was ejected from the vehicle. He was flown by Lifeflight helicopter to the Geisinger Medical Center, Danville, for treatment. Troopers said the probe into the crash is continuing. Drost will be cited, troopers added.
A one-vehicle crash occurred about 4 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 11, along New Street, near Halsey Lane, in Norwegian Township. Troopers said Cody D. Petravich, 19, of Pottsville, was driving a 1994 Chevrolet Camaro northbound and became distracted when he turned to change the station on his radio. He failed to negotiate a curve. The car left the road and traveled about 56 feet before narrowly missing a utility pole. The car then traveled down an embankment for about 32 feet before coming to rest.
Petravich was not injured. He will be cited, troopers said.
A two-vehicle crash was reported about 12:49 p.m. on Saturday along SR61 in North Manheim Township. Troopers said Austin L. Knowles, 81, of Auburn, was northbound operating a 1994 Jeep and turning left at the entrance to the Cressona Mall. Charles M. Otterbein, 26, of Pottsville, was southbound in a 2002 Kia. Knowles did not see Otterbein and turned into the front of him and a collision occurred.
No one was reported injured. The Kia had to be towed from the scene.
A two-vehicle crash occurred about 5:20 p.m. on Sunday at the intersection of SR61 and Brick Hill Road, in West Brunswick Township. Troopers said Lundes Garrett, 53, of Saylorsburg, Monroe County, was southbound operating a 2008 Volvo tractor with trailer while Francis J. Cremia, 58, of Pottsville, was stopped on Brick Hill Road waiting to enter the intersection driving a 2000 Dodge Durango.
Garrett attempted to turn onto Brick Hill when the left rear tandem trailer wheels of the Volvo struck the left front of the Durango causing significant damage to the Dodge, troopers said.
Cremia and his passenger, Janice Sedicino, 59, of Pottsville, sustained minor injuries while Garrett was not injured.
Troopers said Garrett was cited for turning movements.

I hunted with Peter this past August during an early-season velvet hunt and took a buck that green-scored more than 200 B & C, and I saw but could not get on a buck that would have scored another 15 to 20. That buck was higher, wider and had a 14-inch sword point on one side of his rack. I lost him after an all-morning stalk in the timber. Fifteen minutes later, I spotted the buck I eventually killed. I also saw a third buck that was larger still. In total, I saw 15 bucks in a day and a half.
Although Peter's area is public land, the remoteness and difficult access means there is virtually no resident hunting or other pressure. The Sawtooth Mountains are very steep and only hunters who are physically fit should attempt this particular hunt. In fact, Peter screens all of his hunters to make sure they are able to endure the rigors of this trip. If a hunter doesn't measure up physically, Peter will not book him. Although Peter uses horses, all of the actual hunting is on foot. The hunt starts at elevations of 8,000 feet, and hunters must be able to climb up to 2,000 vertical feet in one day.
This is not a weather-dependent or migration hunt, as evidenced by the quality of deer found during the early season. Peter and his guides pre-scout the area for trophy resident bucks. Hunts begin with a nine to 15-mile horseback ride from his lodge up into the range where you set up a tent camp. From there, you ride out each day two to three miles to your hunt........(continued)

Great news. I'm enjoying the game quite a bit, but it's constantly obvious that a sequel will be better. It's fun as hell to play but is unpolished, with weird menus, voice work and virtually non existent fast travel making parts feel way too grindy.
Only been to a couple dungeons so far, but they are very very nice. I'll preorder the sequel for sure.

About the Little Animals Series:
My work is about bringing forth happiness. And what makes us happier than the animals we love?
Contrary to the stereotype of the brooding, inwardly focused artist, I seek genuine connection with others. As you may have guessed, "others" includes animals. I believe every person, and every creature, has a unique and fascinating story to tell. That's why there is nothing formulaic about my one-of-a-kind Little Animals portraits. Before ever determining a medium or style, I spend time observing and connecting with your pet in a familiar environment. It truly makes me happy to capture the essence of your animal—the quizzical expression, the lovable quirkiness, the joyful zest for life—for you to cherish forever.
If you are interested in a modern portrait of your little animal, contact me.

US club brings in Currie Cup coach
Huntingdon Beach
October 28, 1999
by Brian Lowe in California Southern California champions, the NEC/Kiwitel Huntington Beach Unicorns who qualified for the sweet 16 play-offs last year have recruited former Easter Province Currie Cup coach Johan Kluyts for the new season.
A former Springbok Under 19 player he replaced Alex Wyllie at Eastern Province in 1995 and although the side had only moderate success over his three seasons in charge he will bring a wealth of experience to his new post.
Kluyts will be one of the most experienced club coaches in the US and claims he simply wanted to give it a go. "I've never been to America before and it's something new. I was told a lot about American rugby and there is a lot of talk going on in South Africa about rugby here so I thought why not give it a chance."
Kluyts plans to adopt a 15-man rugby approach to his coaching because he feels there is still too much gridiron in American rugby and by that he means too many power plays. His opinion is that there is too much brute force being used rather than basic skills to out fox opponents.
The forward thinking Huntington Beach club got their new regime off to a flying start with a convincing win over the touring Royal Australian Navy team in a friendly last weekend in Los Angeles.

Second victory in succession for the Audi R18 e-tron quattro, Loic Duval, Tom Kristensen and Allan McNish triumph in dramatic race.
Ingolstadt/Le Mans - For the second time in succession, Audi has won the Le Mans 24 Hours with a hybrid race car and quattro drive, thus continuing its unique success story at the worlds most important endurance race. Victory was clinched by Loïc Duval (F), Tom Kristensen (DK) and Allan McNish (GB).
Rain showers crossed the track again and again during the dramatic race. They resulted in numerous incidents and a total of eleven safety car deployments. The field ran for more than five hours under yellow while the track was cleared and repairs were performed.
The three Audi R18 e-tron quattro cars, which are equipped with an electrically driven front axle, were the fastest vehicles in the field throughout the entire race as well as the most efficient ones: Victory in the Michelin Green X Challenge, a competition of the cleanest, fastest and most efficient prototypes, went to Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm as well.
We owe the twelfth victory of our brand at Le Mans to the consistent, innovative spirit of our engineers, the unconditional commitment of the entire team and the skills and strong nerves of our drivers. On behalf of Audi, I extend my sincere congratulations on this success to all of them, said Rupert Stadler, Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG, who, as usual, personally watched the race on location.
This marks another great success for Audi in which our hybrid system again prevailed and new technologies, which our customers will also benefit from in the future, were tested. They included innovative radiators and matrix-beam LED headlights, which make optimum lighting of the corners at night possible a crucial advantage at Le Mans.
We knew that, not least due to the regulatory requirements, it would be very difficult for us this year, commented Head of Audi Motorsport Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich. As expected, Toyota was a very strong rival but our Audi R18 e-tron quattro was in a class of its own. My thanks go to the entire team that worked for months to achieve this success.
The twelfth Audi victory at Le Mans was achieved by the number 2 Audi R18 e-tron quattro driven by Loïc Duval (France), Tom Kristensen (Denmark) and Allan McNish (Scotland) who had started the race from the pole position. For Duval, who had clinched the pole position on Wednesday, this was the first success at the classic French endurance race and the third for Allan McNish. Tom Kristensen, who has been the sole record holder of the race since 2005, triumphed for the ninth time.
The victorious Audi R18 e-tron quattro ran for 24 hours without the slightest technical problem. Duval/Kristensen/McNish took the lead at 21:43 on Saturday night and would not relinquish it anymore up to triumphantly crossing the finish line at 15:00 on Sunday. The three Audi drivers achieved the crucial one-lap advantage over the second-placed Toyota at an early stage and maintained it all the way to the end, even in partially chaotic conditions with torrential rain.
Misfortune struck the other two Audi squads that almost simultaneously were forced to make unscheduled pit stops shortly before the end of the seventh hour of the race and, up to that time, had made for an Audi one-two-three lead up to that time. Oliver Jarvis was touched by a slower vehicle and, as a result, suffered a punctured tire on which he had to complete nearly an entire lap that cost him two laps.
In the thrilling final phase, Le Mans newcomer Lucas di Grassi (Brazil), Marc Gené (Spain) and Oliver Jarvis (Great Britain) managed to overtake the Toyota that had been running in third place up to that time, and to thus secure third place on the podium.
Due to changing the alternator Marcel Fässler (Switzerland), André Lotterer (Germany) and Benoît Tréluyer (France) lost their sure lead a total of twelve laps. With an impressive recovery the 2011 and 2012 winners managed to advance from 24th place to position five in their R18 e-tron quattro.
The 90th anniversary of the Le Mans 24 Hours was overshadowed by a fatal accident that occurred in the GT class shortly after the race started. Obviously, this horrible incident dampens the joy about another great Le Mans victory for Audi in which our team and our drivers were under extreme tension for 24 hours and couldnt make any mistakes, commented Head of Audi Motorsport Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich.
We were all completely shocked by the news of Allan Simonsens death. During his career, he also contested races in the Audi R8 LMS. Our sympathy primarily goes to his family and friends but to the team of Aston Martin as well. It shows that you must never stop doing whatever is possible for safety in motorsport. This is the first fatal accident weve had to witness in 15 Le Mans years. I hope itll remain the last.
Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich (Head of Audi Motorsport): That was the most difficult race Ive experienced in my 15 Le Mans years. One reason, no doubt, was having to see a young race driver from Denmark lose his life this weekend. Were feeling with his family. But the race itself was unusual too.
For 24 hours straight, our drivers had to cope with changeable weather and adjust to new conditions over and over in a very short period of time. Consequently, the team in the pits and along the pit wall didnt have any time to rest I cant recall ever having experienced anything quite like this. The entire squad showed an incredible performance in an extreme situation this weekend Im proud to be a part of it.
Chris Reinke (Head of LMP): After a dramatic beginning, we had a great battle on track. Various technologies competed against each other in the most difficult weather conditions and fought an open battle all the way to the final hours. Wed expected such a race and were extremely well prepared for it so the Audi R18 e-tron quattro deserved mounting the very top of the podium today.
Ralf Jüttner (Technical Director Audi Sport Team Joest): This was the craziest Le Mans weve ever experienced in terms of the weather and the safety car periods. You never knew what the deal was. But it was an incredible thrilling race all the way to the end. We had an absolutely flawless car and that was enough to beat Toyota. We knew before the race that to beat such an opponent everything had to fit. With our number2 car, this was the case.
Congratulations to Tom (Kristensen) on his ninth victory and to Allan (McNish) on his third success at Le Mans. Im also happy about Loïc (Duval) being able to celebrate his first victory here. This evokes unique emotions. Thank you to Audi Sport and of course to my whole team, including the guys from the other two cars.
They all worked hard for this success. Unfortunately, number 3 had enemy contact and thus dropped back. Our number 1 was even the fastest car in the field but was simply unfortunate with some damage. That goes to show that it also takes luck to win here. Congratulations to Toyota, who forced us to fight a fierce battle. That deserves respect.
Loïc Duval (Audi R18 e-tron quattro #2): Le Mans is a great race that evokes so many emotions and is so tiring. Now Ive really got to restrain myself to keep from shedding tears. It was a difficult race in which we unfortunately lost someone (Allan Simonsen). Since last year, the whole team has been giving everything and prepared an outstanding car for us. This is my first Le Mans victory together with Tom Kristensen and Allan McNish. A really great moment in my career!
Tom Kristensen (Audi R18 e-tron quattro #2): For me, Le Mans was filled with very personal emotions this time. Im proud to drive for the worlds best team. This applies to all team-mates, all employees in Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm and for Audi Sport Team Joest. They make it possible for us to realize a dream.
Now this dream has come true again winning the fastest and toughest race under the direction of Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich. Unfortunately, we lost someone yesterday (with Allan Simonsen) who had the same dream. He was a very modest and nice person. Thats why Im experiencing highs and lows this time. With respect to my ninth victory: Im driving with determination and the ambition my father inspired in me. He died in March.
Before his death, he told me that Id win Le Mans this year with my team-mates. Im hoping that one day Ill be able to celebrate another victory with Loïc and Allan that I can dedicate to my father. Because this Le Mans success Im dedicating to Allan Simonsen.
Allan McNish (Audi R18 e-tron quattro #2): Our pace was right this year. The 2013-specification Audi R18 e-tron quattro is simply very, very good. The engineers did a perfect job in the winter. We were here on the test day. Loïc Duvals lap time and the confidence that Tom Kristensen and I had in the car gave us a good feeling.
Thats why for us it was about being careful and driving a clean race throughout without additional pit stops. Except for a puncture on Toms stint our run was perfect for 24 hours straight. There arent too many races like that at Le Mans. And we had strong competition in the form of our sister car and by Toyota.
Lucas di Grassi (Audi R18 e-tron quattro #3): I drove at Le Mans for the first time. The track is really unique. Its very fast and incredibly difficult to learn and to understand as well. But the atmosphere, the fans and the effort that all the teams invest into this one race are impressive. You can feel the great confidence which Audi has in us. Especially for me as a newcomer, the race wasnt easy. But I gave my best. We even finished on the podium, which is really a great feeling. I learned a lot and would very much like to run here again in the future.
Marc Gené (Audi R18 e-tron quattro #3): What a fantastic result for Audi. Unfortunately, our squad lost two laps at the beginning of the race due to a damaged tire valve. As a result, Oliver (Jarvis) had to complete a whole lap on three wheels. Afterward, we benefited from a safety car period to repair the car. Congratulations to our Audi winners as well as to Toyota on a great race and to my team-mates Lucas (di Grassi) and Oliver, who drove a good race in difficult conditions.
Oliver Jarvis (Audi R18 e-tron quattro #3): The whole race was very difficult. Fortunately, my team-mates handed the car over to me in a promising position. We knew that to finish on the podium we had to give everything. And thats exactly what we did in the final 18 hours. We watched the distance to the Toyota and knew that wed have to be at least 1.21.4 seconds faster per lap to catch up to it.
I always drove at the limit, which wasnt easy as the conditions kept changing. That was very challenging because in front of a turn you never knew what was awaiting you. It was arguably the most difficult race Ive contested so far. Im happy about third place. But its also a bit frustrating that we lost two laps due to a collision. Well done to the team of Audis car number 2. Tom, Loïc and Allan They drove a flawless race. But I congratulate Toyota as well, who were a strong rival.
Marcel Fässler (Audi R18 e-tron quattro #1): Congratulations to the whole squad of the winning car. They had a flawless weekend, were always super-fast and therefore deserved winning. Unfortunately, we had a small technical problem that caused us to lose a lot of ground. Afterward, we attacked. The car was perfect and we really enjoyed it. We made up a bit of ground but unfortunately it wasnt enough to be able to attack again at the very front. But thats secondary the most important thing is that Audi won.
André Lotterer (Audi R18 e-tron quattro #1): This is a great day for Audi. Congratulations to the team of number two. Im particularly happy for Loïc (Duval), because hes been a good friend of mine for a long time. I recommended him to Audi Sport and its fantastic that he managed to clinch this success. But the ninth Le Mans victory by Tom (Kristensen) is an impressive achievement as well. For us, the race took an unfortunate course.
That was a shame because we had an absolutely fast car. Unfortunately, we lost the lead due to a technical problem. Afterward, Ben, Marcel and I gave everything again but with a twelve-lap gap, its very difficult to advance again to the far front. The main thing is that an Audi has won. Well try it again next year.
Benoît Tréluyer (Audi R18 e-tron quattro #1): This was a particularly tough 24-hour race at Le Mans this year. The entire squad did a superb job and we had an outstanding car. But to win here, simply everythings got to fit and it didnt in our case this year. We were simply lacking the necessary fortune. Otherwise we could no doubt have been in contention for victory here. Well done to the team of our sister car designated as number 2 that drove a great race and clinched the well-deserved victory for Audi.

The Blue Jays continued their descent into madness this week, committing
themselves to interim manager Cito Gaston for the 2009 season. This marks the
third time in six-plus seasons under general manager J.P. Ricciardi that the
Blue Jays have made a mid-season managerial change, then subsequently made the
interim manager the permanent one without going through a search to identify
the best candidate. While Gaston is different in type from Carlos Tosca and
John Gibbons-he wasn't a member of the fired manager's staff, and he has a
track record of success-the process by which he was deemed worthy is the same
diseased one that has helped make the Blue Jays one of the game's most
disappointing franchises.
Consider that since the shortened 1995 season, just three franchises have
replaced their manager during the season on three
occasions: the Reds, the Royals, and now the Blue Jays. Those teams have
combined for one post-season appearance in that time, none since '95, and none
under a manager hired in that time. Repeatedly having to replace the manager
in the middle of the season is a sign that your organization has a significant
problem choosing its field leader, and may reflect problems in other areas of
It goes beyond just replacing the manager. The organizations in question have
all repeatedly made the same mistake: falling in love with the new guy,
forgoing a full search, and electing to retain the interim into the next
season. The Reds did it with Jerry Narron and Dave Miley, with disastrous
results. The Royals, one of the worst-run franchises in sports during this
time frame, made this choice three times. Now the Jays, without a post-season
appearance since Joe Carter danced in '93, without relevance for most of that
time, have again made the same mistake that they made in 2002 and 2004.
We can debate the importance of a field manager-the relative merits of
tactical savvy and interpersonal skill may never be calibrated perfectly-but
what we should be able to agree on is that the position deserves to be filled
with care. Managers are put in charge of $50 million or more worth of talent. They serve as the most visible management member in a business that generates $100 million or more in gross revenues. Depending on how you view it, they are the second- or third-highest ranking member of management in an organization.
So is it really enough to want to get rid of the guy you have, look around for
a convenient replacement, and then stick with that replacement? Shouldn't the
process for hiring the person shouldering all that responsibility be more
involved than that? The issue isn't whether Dave Miley or Buddy Bell or Cito
Gaston is the best person for a particular job. The issue is that the
organizations that hired them didn't even ask that question, largely because they were on the payroll when the job opened up. They came, they saw, they
This isn't a situation like the 2004 Astros or 2003 Marlins, where the team
had so much success in the wake of an in-season change that the manager earned
the right to keep the job. The Jays were 35-40 under Gibbons, in last place in
the AL East, 10
The process is a mess, and on top of all the other processes that appear to be
awry in Toronto, it's fair-no, it's essential-to ask whether those processes will ever be straightened out under Ricciardi. The three managerial changes reflect a problem. Releasing Frank Thomas without a viable plan for life
without him-the Jays have used 10 other players, including David Eckstein, Kevin Mench, Robinzon Diaz, and Marco Scutaro at DH this year-reflects a problem. The handling of Lind through June of this season reflects a problem. Blocking John McDonald with David Eckstein reflects a problem.
At some point, all you really have is an organization living off the last few
drafts of the previous regime, in a competitive environment that requires
much, much more.

Whether live or on replay, anyone who witnessed the nasty spill at Woodbine on Wednesday had to look away and wince.
But all were breathing a little easier last night after some positive news for jockey Chad Beckon, who got the worst of the accident that took the life of his mount, Oliver's Strike.
Beckon was thrown to the track when Oliver's Strike broke down going around the final turn of the night's third race. The three-year-old gelding ran over Beckon as did the horse trailing him, Kensington Oval, who fell over Oliver's Strike.
Kensington Oval's jockey, Simon Husbands, was treated for minor injuries, including a broken collarbone, at Etobicoke General Hospital.
Neither Beckon nor Husbands were scheduled to ride in Sunday's Queen's Plate.
Beckon, meanwhile, was rushed to Sunnybrook Hospital where he was induced into a coma Wednesday night so doctors could monitor a potential brain injury. He was conscious yesterday, however, and was able to spend time with family and friends.
"He's in the critical care unit and there are some fractured vertebrae, but the good news is he was much better this morning," said Robert King, a former rider and the secretary-manager of the Jockeys' Benefit Association of Canada.
Beckon's agent, Anthony Esposito, said his client remained in guarded condition.
Though he suffered broken bones in his face and his vertebrae, the early prognosis is there is no spinal damage.
Track officials said Oliver's Strike died on the track. Those who saw the spill say it was as bad as it gets.
"It was an ugly sight," said Scott Fairlie, the trainer who will saddle Queen's Plate favourite Milwaukee Appeal. "Nobody wants to see that, but it's a sport and in all sports there's injuries and accidents."

Adjacent Routes
A pitch with a hard lower-crux. Start just right of the wide, broken corner-crack. Climb the wall direct with a bouldery move on the steep initial wall.
bouldery start is fun but tricky
Short but viscious crux low down then nice steady 6a/b climbing to the top
Start is a good move!
Didnt try this route as first bolt appeared very high, and mid-way through (what looked like) the hard section far too high up to consider falling. Did we miss something or is clip stick the only option?

LOS ANGELES (AP) — California's jobless rate continues to fall but it's still above 10 percent.
The state Employment Development Department says the rate was 10.1 percent in October, down from 10.2 percent a month earlier.
There were 45,800 jobs added to payrolls. The private sector did well, adding jobs in construction and higher-paying professional areas. In a good start for the shopping season, 20,500 retail jobs were added.
The biggest job losses were in government — part of an ongoing trend.
Overall, department spokesman Kevin Callori says California's jobless rate continues to drop — continuing an economic turnaround that began in February of 2010.

Dear Editor:
Recently, a political pundit, trying unsuccessfully to contain his frustration with the Obama administration, said Obama has surrounded himself with a team of "useful idiots." He didn't specify who he was referring to (and there are so many) but there can be little doubt that Chuck Hagel, the Secretary of Defense (SecDef), qualifies for this very appropriate designation.
Hagel is a member of the Republican Party and a year ago Senate Republicans filibustered Hagel's nomination as SecDef, the first time in history a nominee for SecDef was filibustered. He was confirmed, however, by a 51-48 vote thanks to the Democrats in the Senate. Why did Republicans resist his nomination? Because they felt he was not qualified and because of various statements he had made in the past showing he, like Obama, believes America is better off if it is militarily weaker. This stance on the military was substantiated when on 24 Feb Hagel proposed cutting current troop strength to its lowest level since 1940. Hagel said these cuts are necessary "in order to sustain our readiness and technical superiority …"
Hagel did not explain how cutting troop strength will sustain our readiness, presumably because he couldn't, and it wasn't just his decision anyway. Hagel had to be following Obama's dictates, just like the other useful idiots Obama has surrounded himself with. So now, if our military suddenly finds itself outnumbered and unprepared, Obama won't be held accountable, his Republican SecDef will be the fall guy thrown under the bus. Obama will also hold the Republican Party accountable by association, which is likely the principal reason Obama chose Hagel as his SecDef in the first place.
What makes this decision so incredibly irresponsible and indefensible is the recent testimony given by James Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence. Clapper said that during his career in the military and intelligence he has not experienced a time when the U.S. has been faced by more crises and threats around the globe. His assessment is shared by others in the intelligence field. Obviously this is of no concern to Hagel and Obama, however. They think diplomacy and leading from behind will resolve all these threats. But take a look at developments in Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Venezuela and now the Ukraine and ask yourself if we are really better off being militarily weaker. Certainly Vladimir Putin thinks it's a good thing and he will not hesitate to take advantage of it.
Rather than maintaining a robust defense of U.S. interests at home and abroad, Obama only cares that the Democrat Party has plenty of financial resources to fund entitlement coffers needed to keep the Party base loyal to him. This is going to lead to disaster.

Kelly Osbourne reveals 'humiliation' over ex fiance's transgender lover
Washington: Kelly Osbourne has revealed that she was embarrassed to tell her parents that her fiance had cheated on her with a transgender model.
The 27-year-old star was engaged to male model Luke Worrall, but their romance turned sour after it was alleged that he was cheating on her.
The Prince of Darkness' daughter finally ended her relationship with Worrall when she found out that he had a fling with model Elle Schneider, who is awaiting gender reassignment surgery.
The rock heiress admitted that the worse was when he had to break the news to her parents.
"Having to tell them (my parents) my fiance had cheated on me with a tranny who sold his/her story to the press (was the most uncomfortable moment). It was so humiliating," Contactmusic quoted the DWTS star as telling Glamour.
"Everyone kept telling me that Luke was cheating on me, but I never believed them.
"It's hard enough to get your head around someone cheating on you, but when someone is a chick with a d**k?
"Up until then, I'd always thought that the worst way to get cheated on would be with an ugly girl. Don't you think?
"Because at least if they cheat on you with a gorgeous girl it makes some kind of sense.
"But men are different, I guess, they can have emotionless sex," she added.

Ok, I'm obviously not much of a blogger. I've been on RC Groups for nearly 4 years now, and this is my third entry Words and me have never been great together. In primary school, I once did a book review on a Charlie Brown comic book. No kidding. I guess that's why I ended up being a photographer. Funny how life works.
Anyways, I'm starting this series of posts as a kind of therapy of sorts. My dad is having an almighty battle with cancer at the moment. Chemo stopped a couple of weeks ago because it wasn't working. Dad's positivity even at this stage is pretty incredible. He believes he can fight it off, I hope he is right.
So, I should do some talking about Rc planes. Dad was a member of an RC club when I was around 12 years old for a few years. I didn't really get it back then. So never really got involved that much. A couple of years ago I thought it would be a nice idea to make dad a trainer type plane out of foam that he could re-learn flying on and we could enjoy the hobby together. I built him a BluBaby from Tony65x55 plans. https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=681556 Through engine upgrades, working out deans plugs/batteries, moving house, life etc etc, it didn't see much airtime. The rudder got broken one day and was stashed away somewhere safe while he started to learn to fly real planes!
The last time dad came to my place he gave me a set of floats he had made a looooong time ago. I thought, cool, I'm sure I can find something to put these on.
A week ago I visited dad for the first time in about a month (he lives about 2 and1/2 hours drive away). It was a very emotional day for me. During the day I had a brainwave. What a great idea it would be to fix the Blu Baby that I had made, and attach the floats that he had made so many years ago. And get that plane flying off the dam at his farm. For some reason the symbolism of flying a plane that we have both had a part in making is quite powerful to me.
Here are some pics of where I am at. I'll "blog" more soon

Well I got a phone call from Mum Thursday afternoon saying I should come up and see Dad. It was now the time to talk to Dad before it was too late. There was a lot of crying, which funnily enough made everyone feel a lot better. I'm glad I came. I've learnt a lot about Dad in the last 2 days and so glad we talked about the things we did. Now that all that hard stuff is out of the way it's great to just be able to sit and spend time with him when he is awake, and enjoy it. It's really important to me to have this time with dad filled with good memories. Honesty and truth are good for the soul.
Now, I know you're all wondering how the plane is. It flies beautifully!! Managed to put the last few bits on the floats up at Mum and Dads place and we flew it late yesterday. Tracked on the water incredibly straight. Was beautiful to watch once it got up on step. Landings are a little tricky as the floats don't extend very far past the front of the fuse. Nose overs are pretty easy. But it self rights itself which is very lucky. I have a few pics and a video to upload when I get home tonight.
Getting this plane in the air with Dad watching was incredibly satisfying. It's been a wonderful couple of days.
Love you Dad.

I want an app that can trace my device even when my device doesn't have a network connection.and the GPS is off too.
kind of app that I can find my device using my PC and shows my device on a map.like google map.
Impossible. The phone should be connected to a network and the GPS should be ON too... to be able to track the device. If your phone have both hardware for GPS and network connection and your phone is rooted, then u may be able to ON GPS and Network by a sms and track it further.
Avast Antitheft app on rooted devices can track the devices once we report the phone as stolen, following the above method

The indoor baseball facility at Thorne-Rider Park in Sheridan is starting to take shape. Sheridan Media's Ron Richter has the story.
During Wednesday's Sheridan Recreation District board meeting, Rec. Director Richard Wright gave an update on the indoor baseball/storage facility that is located on the west side of the big parking lot across from Thorne-Rider stadium.
The building has been a project of the Sheridan Athletics Association, as over $100,000 has been raised. Wright says that the facility, once complete will be a big benefit to their baseball program as well as the American Legion's.
The sixty by one-hundred foot building still needs a floor, as Wright said that concrete will be poured as soon as the ground can be thawed out. He also reported during the meeting that the Sheridan County Tennis Association continues to work on raising funds to cover two of the tennis courts at Thorne-Rider.
Wright added that the Tennis Association is currently reviewing two proposals to cover the courts, with both coming in around the $300,000 figure.

A Q&A with Gartner's Matthew Boon
With the Gartner Infrastructure Operations and Data Centre Summit kicking off in Sydney today, we asked Gartner managing vice president and conference chair Matthew Boon to share his views on the latest data centre trends in Australia.
1. What are the major data centre trends in Australia for 2013?
One of the biggest trends we are seeing in Australia is a shift towards integrated systems, or converged infrastructure - servers, storage and networking converged into a single environment. This is having an impact on the sort of data centres organisations are building, how they power and cool them, how they segment the infrastructure within the data centre, and so on.
On the back of this, the continuing issue for many companies in Australia is whether they should build a new data centre or transform their existing centre, because many companies are close to or have already run out of space. A major focus for most organisations is planning what their data centre should be looking like for the next 10-20 years.
Another major trend is the impact of mobility and the proliferation of mobile devices on the data centre. The expectation is that employees can access information, corporate assets and accounts from any device, anytime. Organisations are trying to manage that not only from a workload point of view, but security is a major issue.
Equally, the big push around analytics and the impact that is having on data and storage is determining the sort of infrastructure organisations are looking at, particularly the massive growth in storage brought about by big data and video.
2. What is the spending forecast for Australian data centres?
Spending on data centre hardware in Australia is projected to reach almost A$2.09 billion (US$2.2 billion) in 2013, up 11% from 2012, according to Gartner forecasts. This growth is largely being driven by the move towards integrated infrastructure– servers, storage and networking converging together. Ultimately, when you get new technology coming through that promises greater efficiencies and a more effective way of managing IT in general, it comes with a lot of benefits, but also a cost up front to plan for the future. A lot of companies are investing heavily in new technologies, particularly storage, storage management and data centre infrastructure management tools, so they can more effectively plan for customer needs.
What we are also seeing is a potential out of sequence replacement cycle as well, fuelled by the impact of the slowdown during the global financial crisis.
3. Where is the Australian cloud market heading in 2013?
Australian organisations are somewhat further down the education path when it comes to cloud computing related to data centre technologies. The reason for that is that Australia has always been a fairly early adopter of new technology innovation. Virtualization is a perfect example, where Australia led the charge in terms of adoption from a global point of view. Obviously it's not the biggest market, but Australia was very high in terms of the actual percentage of organisations virtualizing. As a result, what we are now seeing is that a lot of organisations that virtualized, are looking at how they take that next step and move towards either a private or public cloud style infrastructure environment, or indeed a combination of the two using a hybrid approach.
4. What is the adoption rate of cloud in Australia?
It is difficult to know, but I would say that between 30-40 percent of organisations in Australia would have put in place some of the groundwork for cloud computing principles. Most of the investment we are seeing from an enterprise perspective is in private cloud internal adoption. Leading on from what they have done with virtualization, they are now thinking further down the track to potentially moving towards a wider public cloud style of deployment. It is very application driven - if you look at a big bank for example, they are not going to put their core banking applications into the cloud, largely due to legislation and data sovereignty issues. So we are not seeing everyone flocking to the public cloud, but we are certainly seeing they are moving forward towards investigating further. Whereas, we are seeing much more of a willingness of small-to-medium businesses to move towards a public cloud environment, particularly related to infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS).
Based in Sydney, Matthew Boon is the group team manager of Gartner's data centre, technology and service provider research globally. He will be examining the latest data centre trends in more detail in a keynote at the Gartner Infrastructure, Operations and Data Centre Summit in Sydney this week.

I believe the voters of the 14th Congressional District have two very distinct visions for the future. They can choose the current tax and spend path which has brought us ObamaCare, $16 trillion in debt and kept unemployment over 8%; or they can choose the path with a conservative vision to lower taxes, cut spending and debt and get Americans working again.
Returning to Fiscal Discipline
Our current fiscal path is unsustainable. Waste, fraud and abuse have plagued Washington for years, making balanced budgets seem impossible. Entitlement spending, and a complicated and burdensome tax code have made job creation and economic growth impossible. We need to fight to preserve America's free-market economy, balance our budget, and return our country to sound economic footing.
Restoring National Pride
America has long been an example to world, but that example is now being tarnished. Attempts to relinquish our American sovereignty to international organizations that constantly work against us must be stopped. We must honor our soldiers and veterans both at home and abroad, and we must immediately move towards energy independence, so that we can strengthen our economy, and end our dependence on foreign oil.
Securing Our Nation's Borders
The federal government's failure to secure our borders is a serious threat to our national security. The constant flow of illegal drugs and gang activity must stop now. Until we secure the borders, we cannot begin to address the issue of illegal immigration and its costs.
Honoring Faith and Values
Traditional American values have been the source of our strength throughout history. We must create a culture of life in America so that every life is cherished and protected. We must fight to preserve traditional marriage, so that American families remain strong, and we must preserve religious freedom, remembering that America was founded, and has long been defended, by religious people.
Rolling Back Regulation
Federal regulation is killing the economic engine that keeps our great nation running. Misguided bureaucrats are creating new regulations that will kill small business and stifle job creation. We must stop new regulations and begin a systematic review of existing regulations.
Stopping Unfunded Mandates
The federal government is bankrupting our states and local governments with unfunded mandates. Our communities are not only having to find ways to implement standards dictated to them by Washington, but they also have to find ways to pay for them. We must stop unfunded mandates and return control back to the states.
Reforming Our Entitlement System
Entitlement spending has ballooned out of control, and entitlement programs are redundant and wasteful. Until we seriously address entitlement reform, we will not be able to balance our budget, and we will continue down the path to financial ruin.
Repealing Obamacare
Obamacare is bad law, passed through a flawed process, and it will have a lasting negative impact on our nation. We must repeal it immediately and replace it with sensible, patient-centered health-care reforms.
Defending the Constitution
America needs to get back to our Constitutional principals. We must fight to uphold the 2nd Amendment against those that seek to curtail it. The constant assault on private property rights that has become common-place in Washington must end, and the integrity of our elections must be upheld.

Steve Chiotakis: On the line with us live from St. Louis is Juli Niemann from Smith, Moore and Company. Juli, good morning.
Juli Niemann: Good morning.
Chiotakis: So Juli, we got word this morning that orders for durable goods merely slipped, but didn't plummet as had been the case. What does that tell us about the overall economy?
Niemann: Well, economists have been forecasting the worst possible case scenario, and of course the market's rallying when it's not as bad as they'd been anticipating. They're hoping here that the manufacturing plunge could be nearing an end. But bottom line is there's no recovery, even if we do hear the thud right at the bottom here.
Chiotakis: So not a bottom just yet.
Niemann: No it's not. You know the, what we saw today was nice uptick in commercial and military aircraft, but big negatives in automotive, appliances. And probably the key thing is businesses are not expanding and updating, so you're seeing negative results in machinery and computers. That's where you have to see the uptick.
Chiotakis: You saw automotive, of course, Ford reporting this morning that there was a decline, a loss. Their shares are up 17 percent, because that wasn't as bad as Wall Street had expected, right?
Niemann: Well, and it looks like they may be the only one who doesn't declare bankruptcy. They're even anticipating that they could break even in 2011, or as Chrysler, the big basket case, is preparing for bankruptcy, and it looks like General Motors will as well. In fact, Canada is even preparing debtor possession financing to take care of the bankruptcy and usher them through it.
Chiotakis: You know Juli, we've got Treasury's Tim Geithner talking about bank stress tests today. How did financials react to all of that?
Niemann: Well the whole question is, how much are you really going to disclose? It looks like they're only going to be talking about the methodology. What we won't know is what, anything but the gross numbers happen to be out there. The banks that are in trouble basically have to raise funds and the Fed, if they tell them that it's necessary. I don't know that'd I really want to invest my remaining few coins into the losers, distress situation. So I think what you're going to see with the banks, a lot of shotgun marriages here.
Chiotakis: All right, Juli Niemann, thanks for joining us this morning, we appreciate it.

Nearly 1,000 underprivileged students are expected to benefit from Kyrene School District's "Winter Wonderland" event next week.
For more than 10 years, the district has hosted the invitation-only event that collects and hands out toys for families in need.
About 200 to 300 volunteers work the one-day event and begin collecting toys from around the community right after Thanksgiving.
"We live in a very generous and amazing community," said district prevention manager Amanda Hamm. "We're able to meet our needs internally really well."
Hamm said out of the 18,000 students within the district, 400 are actually homeless, and one in three are living in poverty.
"What's greater than that though is the number of families struggling," Hamm added.
During the event, parents invited will get the chance to win a free bike or a $25 Fry's gift card as they are taken around the "Wonderland" with a personal shopper.
Refreshments, hot chocolate, and baked goods are also provided.
Parents then browse through the different gifts, have their choices gift wrapped, and can leave with the wrapped gifts in black trash bags — so their kids can be surprised.
Last year, 832 students within the district were given gifts by the "Winter Wonderland" event.
The district office will be accepting toy donations until Dec. 13 from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Kyrene School District is located at 8700 S. Kyrene Road.
For more information, or how to become a volunteer, email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Lou's second release, 'When I was a Kid' is 'one of the most unique children's albums ever', according to Billboard Magazine. Lou's other releases 'A Little Bit Clumsy', and 'Around the World', have also been honored by Parent's Choice as well as NAPPA, BOOKLIST, CHILD Magazine, Family Fun and a slew of others! Lou's most recent release, 'Lost in School' further chronicles the joys and fears of childhood.

Two days after his glorious birth, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian have revealed the name of their newborn son.
The 2015 MTV Video Music Awards is being presented live from Los Angeles at the Microsoft Theater. But before the show gets underway, the hottest superstars in hip-hop and R&B hit the red carpet to show off their best ensembles.
The couple that dress together, stays together. Kanye West and Kim Kardashian rocked all-black everything for Givenchy's fashion show Sunday (Sept. 29).
Almost a month passed before we got to see a picture of Jay Z and Beyonce's baby girl Blue Ivy after she was born. Now we have a first glimpse at Kanye West and Kim Kardashian's daughter North thanks to some paparazzi photos.
Will they or won't they? Fans are wondering if Kanye West and Kim Kardashian will sell photos of their newborn daughter North West to the media. Apparently, it's not happening.
Are Kanye West and Kim Karsdashian ready to walk down the aisle? Maybe, if we're to believe the latest gossip reports.
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian went into a new direction with naming their baby girl. According to TMZ, Kimye named their baby North West. No, we are not kidding.
Beyonce went on her official website today (June 17) and created a congratulatory post to newfound parents Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. If you haven't heard by now, the couple welcomed a baby girl on Saturday (June 15).
Father's Day will be extra special for Kanye West tomorrow as the G.O.O.D. Music leader welcomes a baby girl into his life today. His girlfriend, Kim Kardashian, has given birth a month earlier than expected.
Not only is Kanye West dropping a big project this summer, he and his boo, Kim Kardashian, are expecting a beautiful gift as well -- a baby girl.

Knack II listed on XPEC developer resume
Apparently in development since at least May 2015.
Mindy Liang, a 3D animator at XPEC Entertainment, has listed a "Knack II" on her LinkedIn Resume.
According to the listing, she started work on Knack II in May 2015, working on "animated 3D character motions and cutscenes for PS4 system."
In addition to having developed its own titles, XPEC Entertainment is also an outsourced developer working on certain aspects of Final Fantasy XV. If Knack II is actually a thing, this may or may not be the case.
The listing has since been removed, but can still be caught in a Google search.
Knack was a PlayStation 4 launch title developed by SCE Japan Studio.

Chef Lionel Lévy uses black olives in this unusual clafoutis but still serves it as a dessert, along with a mâche salad drizzled with lemon-honey vinaigrette. We like that combination in place of an after-dinner cheese course, but we also think it makes an excellent (and surprising) first course.
- Yield
- Makes 6 to 8 servings
- Active Time
- 20 minutes
- Total Time
- 30 hours
- For olives
- 1/2 cup Niçoise olives (5 oz), pitted
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 cups water
- For clafoutis batter
- 3/4 cup whole blanched almonds (4 1/2 oz)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- Prepare olives:
- Cook olives in a 2-quart saucepan of boiling water 5 minutes and drain in a colander.
- Bring sugar and 2 cups water to a boil in a 1-quart saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add olives and poach, covered, over very low heat (syrup should not bubble; use a flame tamer on burner if necessary) 6 hours. Cool, uncovered, then chill olives in syrup, covered, at least 1 day.
- Make clafoutis:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Finely grind almonds with 2 tablespoons sugar in a food processor, then whisk together with whole eggs and butter in a bowl until blended.
- Whisk yolks with remaining 6 tablespoons sugar in another bowl until blended, then add flour and salt, whisking until smooth. Whisk in milk, then whisk into almond mixture until combined well.
- Drain olives in a sieve, discarding syrup, and stir into batter. Pour into a buttered 6-cup shallow glass or ceramic baking dish, making sure olives are evenly distributed, and bake in middle of oven until firm in center and puffed around edges, about 20 minutes. Serve clafoutis warm.
Cooks' note:
·Olives can be chilled in syrup up to 3 days.

Extra DWI enforcement starts this weekend
Minnesota law enforcement officers this weekend are uncorking December-long increased DWI patrols as part of the nationwide effort, "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over."
County sheriff's offices, municipal agencies and the State Patrol will work overtime hours this month to focus on drunk driving.
December is a potentially deadly month due to holiday celebrations, according to officials from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Office of Traffic Safety. In the last three Decembers (2009-2011), 28 people were killed in drunk driving crashes and 7,497 were arrested for DWI.
"Our goal is to ensure families are together for the holidays and no lives are taken due to a drunk driving tragedy," says Lt. Eric Roeske of the Minnesota State Patrol. "If there is one gift to give, offer to be a designated driver for a loved one."
A statewide advertising campaign has been launched to remind Minnesotans about the added patrols, and Designated Driver Gift Cards - offering "the gift of a safe lift" - are available at www.minnesotasafeandsober.org.
A DWI offense can result in the loss of a license for up to a year, thousands in costs and possible jail time.
To prevent drunk driving, plan for safe rides. Designate a sober driver, use a cab or other public transportation, or stay at the location of a celebration. Let family and friends know that you are available to offer a safe ride home.
Also, buckle up and wear protective motorcycle gear; these are the best defenses against a drunk driver. When witnessing impaired driving behavior, call 911. Be prepared to provide location, license plate number and observed dangerous behavior.
