Media Release: South African National Parks (Sanp) Announces Concession Opportunities Under Its Commercialisation Programme
24 May 2000
Under the programme, private investors will be allowed to take over or build and operate tourism facilities within the National Parks, under long-term concession contracts. This is a radical departure from normal SANP rules, and marks a bold new direction for the organisation.
In his opening remarks, Mavuso Msimang, the SANP Chief Executive, pointed out that the organisation is embarking on a commercialisation programme which will see it move away from direct management of commercial operations in Parks, to regulating the provision of services by the private sector.
"Involving private sector operators in our tourism operations will not only allow us to increase efficiency and delivery of better customer service, it will also allow us to concentrate on what we really do best, and that is conservation" Msimang said.
The commercialisation programme, which takes into account the need to balance the needs of tourism and conservation, will have a strong empowerment component and will be implemented in phases. The first phase involves the outsourcing of 12 lodge sites in Kruger, Addo Elephant and Kalahari Gemsbok National Parks. In addition, the Brandwag hotel and chalets in Golden Gate National Park will also be put out to concession. SANP's restaurants and retail shops will also be outsourced in the near future.
As part of the implementation process, there will be a series of public consultation workshops at the national and local levels where interested groups and individuals will have the opportunity to obtain additional information and discuss issues with Parks' management.
For more information on the proposed commercialisation programme visit SANP's website at www.parks-sa.co.za.

When you're high on weed, you just see things differently, or you block out bad thoughts. You can do everything you normally do as long as you don't couch lock yourself. And sometimes you function even more efficiently because you notice things you didn't notice before.
And then weed is not addictive, harmful to your health, or has any withdrawal side effects.. unlike alcohol.

I agree with your main point about alcohol being more harmful than herb but I have to laugh some of your post. Maybe I'm misinterpreting what you really meant but here goes..
To say that weed has no negative effects is ridiculous. Ever hung out with someone who is blazed off their ass all the time? It makes people paranoid and retarded.
Not everyone who drinks does so to get totally s
it faced. There are a lot of people who just have a few drinks and you'd barely even notice that they had. Responsible drinkers, if you will. If you get all blazed out and are in the wrong atmosphere, it can make things pretty uncomfortable.
To say that you can't function on alcohol is silly as well. Buy me some beer and some parts that you need fixed on your car and watch me go. I'll bang that **** out in no time.

Herb is also bad for the lungs. There is no getting around that. I used to hear that it was 10X worse than tobacco smoke, which I find to be BS though. Most people who smoke weed don't smoke 20 joints in a day but it is quite common for cigarette smokers to go through a pack a day. Maybe the smoke is more carcinogenic but the fact that people who smoke weed don't smoke nearly as much as cig smokers kind of negates that fact.
Like I said, fundamentally, I agree with you MM. I'd rather hang out with a stoner than a fall down, piss drunk alcoholic any day. And the point you're ultimately trying to make is sound. People who are on their high horse about weed being so bad yet get hammered on a regular basis are pretty stupid.

XAU/USD (a 4-hour chart)
General overview
The gold is under pressure due to:
1. The return to risk assets
2. The USA economy recovery
3. The expectations that the USA will hike the rate this year
Current situation
The pair remained in an ascending channel, near its lower limit. The gold futures moved lower following the decision of the BoE to keep the rates unchanged. The new local low is at 1320. The resistance is at 1360, the support comes in at 1330.
MACD is in the negative area. The histogram grew which indicates the sellers' weakness. Indicator RSI rebounded from the oversold area. Its signal line moved upwards which confirms the strength of buyers.
The price broke the 50-EMA, but was stopped at the 100-EMA which rejected it upwards. The 50, 100 and 200 EMAs are turning downwards.
Trading recommendations
We are looking for the support 1316 break and then continuation of a fall with a further target at 1300.

Pic Special: Arsenal and Man Utd stars compete in France's friendly match against Holland
The Tricolores picked up a very important win over the Oranje in an emotional night that saw both teams paying their respects to the late great Johan Cruyff.
Didier Deschamps's side took the lead early on with Antoine Griezmann and Arsenal star Olivier Giroud scored France's second seven minutes later.
PSV striker Luuk de Jong made it 2-1 on 47 minutes and Stoke ace Ibrahim Afellay equalised for Danny Blind's side before Blaise Matuidi made it 3-2 for France.

Good people
January 13, 2014 § 24 Comments
I rode up onto the sidewalk like I always do, made the left down the narrow little path next to the parking garage, and dismounted at the top of the four concrete steps which lead to the big locked gate. There is a hedge opposite the wall of the parking garage, and the space along the path is so slight that if they weren't well trimmed, the branches would touch the opposing wall. It's a busy little passageway; countless tenants come and go through this side entrance over the course of a day.
The jersey pockets of my bicycle outfit are always stuffed the same way. Gate and house key on the left, spare tube in the middle, and CO2/cash/credit card on the right. When I'm cutting out before sunrise I'll stick my sunglasses in the left pocket, on top of the keys. It's my "sunglass" pocket, or, when I'm coming home in the late afternoon and wearing my sunglasses, it's the pocket in which I'll put the Rx clear-lens biking glasses that I'd worn on the pre-dawn commute. In any event, the glasses are always on top of the gate and house key.
On Thursday afternoon I got back to the complex, dismounted, and took off my gloves before fishing out the glasses from the left pocket in order to reach the gate and house key. I walked the bike down the steps, let myself in, and walked up the staircase to our apartment. Then the evening quickly took over. There was so much to do before our big trip to Palm Springs on Friday. There were bags to be packed, bike to be cleaned, dinner to be eaten, beer to be drunk and, of course, book to be faced.
One of the last things to be packed was my actual riding gear, and nothing is double and triple-checked more often than my eyewear. This is because my vision is so terrible that without my prescription biker glasses it's simply not possible to ride. Although I knew from our riding schedule that we wouldn't be riding before sunup or after sundown, and I therefore wouldn't need them, I noticed that my clear Rx glasses were missing.
"Honey," I said, "have you seen my clear glasses?"
"No. Why? When's the last time you wore them?"
"Today. I thought I came home with them today, actually." A short search ensued but they didn't turn up. "They'll show up later," I thought.
Rather, I hoped like hell they'd show up, because they were prescription SPY Quanta performance glasses, and they meant the difference between pre-dawn riding and not. They would also be expensive to replace.
The weekend flew by, and on Sunday night, as I unpacked my bags, I realized that the glasses had never turned up. This wasn't surprising, since I hadn't looked for them and since we'd been out of town. "Honey," I asked again. "Have you seen my clear Rx riding glasses?"
She rolled her eyes. "In Palm Springs? No."
On Monday morning I got ready to ride and faced the nasty truth. I'd lost the glasses and couldn't remember where, and they weren't coming back. Our apartment is small and we don't have much in it, and the glasses would have surfaced if only because SPY provides a gray cloth carrying case with a bright orange drawstring for all its eyewear. It's the kind of thing that you just can't miss, bright orange strings against a slightly metallic gray bag.
I clomped down the concrete staircase and went out the gate. As I mounted the top concrete step on the walkway, I glanced to my right. There on the hedge was a gray cloth bag, hanging from a branch by its bright orange drawstring. Then it all came back to me. I'd taken out the glasses out of the back pocket in order to get the gate key, and must have dropped the glasses. They'd been there for almost four days.
Someone had picked up the bag, looked inside, realized that the glasses were prescription and fancy and important, and had thoughtfully hung them from the hedge. Over the four days countless people had stopped, opened the little bag to see what was inside, realized that they were lost glasses, and left them there. Countless little acts of observation, investigation, conclusion and … doing the nicest thing.
I smiled a big smile and tucked the glasses into my jersey pocket, the left one of course. Then I pedaled on to work, feeling like the strangers of the world were, somehow, looking out for me, and reminding me that when it came my turn, to be sure and look out for them, too.
Why you should buy these beat to shit frames
April 12, 2012 § 10 Comments
I get the whole product review thing. Manufacturer sends spanking new product to journalist swag whore, who pimps the product to his readers by saying what a great thing it is even if it's a piece of shit, because even if it's a piece of shit another MFR will send him new swag in three weeks anyway. Readers, who have sadly misplaced confidence in swag whore, and who are unaware of swag whore's incestuous relationship with MFR, run out and buy the product.
Like I said, I get that.
And because it involves swag, and pimping, and whoring, and backroom dealing, and a fair measure of duplicity and deceit, I think it's awesome.
However, I have a problem with the process–there's no post-coital cigarette to wrap up the whole sordid deal.
The proper post-coital cigarette for swag whores
In other words, after posting that glorious review of the 2008 Oakley Dipshits, why don't we get a follow-up review six months or one year later? I understand that it doesn't fit with the product cycle, but you'd think that it would fit with the alleged "journalistic integrity" that at least some of these writer-blogger swine claim to have regarding the shit they pimp. Maybe if products got the obligatory "It's wonderful" blowjob followed by "This was a real turdblossom" beatdown half a year later, manufacturers in the bike industry would take a longer and harder look at the crap they sell, and cyclists wouldn't wind up with so much totally worthless crap cluttering their garage or bedroom.
A great example is my (former) Zipp 404's. When they came out, they were the bomb. Rim dimpling and all kinds of neat shit guaranteed to slice through the wind and turn the lamest mule into a racehorse. After a couple of years of constant wear, tear, abuse, smashing, bashing, almost-crashing, and hard labor of every kind, they didn't roll worth a shit. The plastic fairing came loose and had to be replaced. Micro-cracks started appearing where the nipple fits into the plastic. Spoke nipples corroded and cracked. I know what you're going to say…"Well, what did you expect?"
The answer is, I expected them to still be pretty sweet after a couple of years since they were so expensive. Had I known that Zipps roll with the smoothness of a gravel truck after hard use I might not have bought them. In any case, it would have been great information to have. But the swag whores don't review stuff that way. No one will ever pick up the 404's from 2009 and in 2012 give them the painstaking, meticulous kind of review that they received from the reviewers when they came out (you know who are, whores). A string of post-review write-ups about the various editions of the 404's might make people more cautious, or, if the results are positive, more enthusiastic when the newest, latest, and greatest rolls off the production line in Taiwan.
Pabulum for the proles
In the world of two-dollar whores masquerading as virgins, no one beats VeloNews. Take a minute to read this review of Oakley's latest offering. It has everything: admission that the product hasn't been tested at all; admission that the product went straight from swag box to article review; recommendation that you should buy something now that will be evaluated LATER.
You know that the only real evaluation this product will ever get is yours if you buy it. If it's crap, there's another few hundred bucks down the drain. Hey, it's only money!
A real post-coital review
On November 4, 2011, I reviewed a pair of SPY Quanta prescription glasses that had been provided to me as swag. I'd used them for about a month, maybe two, by the time I wrote the review. I loved them.
Since first putting them to use in late September, I have about 150 hours of riding time in these frames, maybe more. Since I ride early in the morning and they're a clear prescription lens, the first 1-2 hours of my ride are usually with the Quanta, especially in winter when the sun comes up so late. They are also the only frame I wear on the indoor track in Carson, at the Home Depot's VeloCenter, where I ride once a week.
I was initially impressed with these SPY glasses simply because they handled my large correction and, unlike the Oakleys they replaced, had a wide field of vision. I can now say that my impression was completely correct, only more so. The wrap around has literally changed the way I ride. It greatly minimizes my need to turn my head and allows me to ride making full use of my peripheral vision.
Having not ridden with any meaningful peripheral vision for thirty years, this is like having a new set of eyes. No longer forced to crane my neck to get the details of the wanker coming up on the inside, no longer forced to jerk my head to the left when the roar of an angry engine sounds like it's going to pass with inches to spare, I can now do what normal-eyed people do everywhere: use my peripheral vision. It has kept me upright on several occasions, and allowed me to chop offending wankers at will.
The incredible field of vision that spans the edges of the lens is due to a special process SPY uses when they grind the lenses that allows the focal point of the lens to be off center, so rather than having a single "sweet spot" in the middle of the lens through which you get the clearest look, the prescription spreads the focal point throughout the curvature of the lens. I don't know how they do it, maybe with magic soup or pixie dust or some shit, but if you are a terribly near-sighted rider, these glasses will literally open your eyes.
As a true performance frame, the Quanta has five distinct gripping points that I've never had in another pair of glasses. The wraparound end of the arms is covered with a typical rubber grip along the last couple of inches, so the point where the end of the arm meets the skin above your ear secures the frame. Next, the upper portion of the arms are bent so that they follow the contour of your skull, creating two additional, continuous points of contact to keep the glasses in place. I've ridden with long hair and with a buzz cut since having these glasses, and they handle mega-hair and skinhead with equal ease. Copious amounts of sweat affect the frames' grip not at all.
The final contact point is the substantial nose piece, which has giant, hooked metal nails that you pound into your septum with a hammer, allowing the rusty barbs to grab the cartilage like a fish hook stuck down the craw of a shark. It's a bit painful, but nothing like what you're going to experience on the BWR.
Actually, the nose piece is made of soft rubber with shallow grooves that grip your nose firmly. Despite crazy-ass sprinting on the velodrome, wild-ass sprinting on the road, flailing from side to side on the steeps in the Santa Monicas, desperately spinning my head around to see how many inches I've gained on the field in one of my blistering attacks, these glasses don't budge at all.
Despite riding in an area that is often socked in with heavy fog, the inside of the lenses almost never fogs up. The more I ride with the Quanta, the more I appreciate their lightness for such a large, wraparound frame with big prescription lenses. Best of all, they've been subjected to multiple falls, punches, drops, kicks, and last-minute jersey pocket cramdowns as I fumble with my dark-lens Diablos once the sun is up. There's virtually no scratching on the lenses even with more or less constant abuse.
The capacious storage bag wads up into nothing, and is made of a material that never seems to get dirty no matter how many times you use it to clean the lens. I know that sounds impossible and crazy and beyond the outer limit of believable, but so what? It's the truth.
So now you understand that I love these glasses. However, I'm not simply recommending that you buy a pair of Quanta frames. I'm also recommending that you take the same critical eye you may have towards this "review" and use it on the glitzy, we-admit-it's-all-marketing approach used by VeloNews to promote Oakley and their ilk. Demand that people who tell you buy something have the balls to show up six months later and tell you how that worked out in real life. Demand that the people who review the stuff you buy have an investment in it.
Which leads to the next part…my investment in SPY.
Since first learning that my friend MMX is running the show, and since getting a chance to test drive glasses that have radically improved the safety and enjoyability and performance of the avocation I love, I've invested significantly in SPY.
"How does a dead-broke blogger dude who has to get his eyewear for free have enough money to invest in a listed company?" you're probably wondering.
Here's how: my investment isn't financial. It's emotional. I've watched a guy with whom I've ridden thousands of miles take the same approach to SPY that he takes to riding his bike. Full-on. Ethical. At the front. Demanding the very best from himself, and refusing to accept anything less from those around him. Undying commitment to growth through the grass roots.
I've watched him use home-grown talent to design his bike kits through StageOne and Joe Yule, watched him outsource kit manufacturing to Squaddra, another Carlsbad firm, watched him give the sock deal to San Diego-based DeFeet, watched him hire (and work the shit out of) local cyclists, motocross racers, surfers, MTB'ers, 'crossers, skiers, and snowboarders, and you know what else?
I've watched him pour money, product, sponsorship, and energy into grass roots cycling, everything from races, to big clubs, to casual non-racing Freddies who nonetheless walk the walk. If it were only these things, that would be enough for me to encourage–nay, demand–that you chunk your Oakley/Smith multinational eyewear in favor of SPY. But in addition to all that, he's hellbent on putting the best possible product in front of your eyeballs. Stuff that looks good, that protects your eyes, and that improves your performance.
On top of that, a percentage of SPY's profits go to local charities that help people see better.
And you'd rather throw your money into the coffers of multinationals that also make chick handbags and buy materials from the cheapest suppliers no matter where they're located? You'd rather support a cycling eyewear company whose only investment in the sport is pouring money into pro teams? Really? Do you also beat your dog?
Please don't beat your dog
At the end of the day, as people like to say when they've run out of substance and are going to try and shove some non sequitur piece of choplogic down your throat, there's an even better reason to support this company and their eyewear, even if it means you have to toss your Assos Zeghole swag, admit that it sucks, and do the right thing. How many CEO's of listed companies actually participate as full-throated competitors and promote their product through grass roots events like the Belgian Waffle Ride?
Do you want to support someone who is an anonymous corporate drone chopping wood for the shareholders in Hong Kong, Sweden, and the UK…or someone who's out there supporting YOU?

(Nasdaq: MYL), today issued an advisory regarding the theft of two different types of its respiratory medications, Ipratropium Bromide Inhalation Solution, 0.02%, and Albuterol Sulfate Inhalation Solution, 0.083%, unit-dose vials. The lots were on a tractor-trailer that was stolen in the state of Florida. The NDC numbers for the Ipratropium product are 49502-685-31 (lot number F09089) and 49502-685-62 (lot numbers C09119 and C09120). All packages contain 2.5 ml vials and display the brand name "DEY." The NDC numbers for the Albuterol product are 49502-697-29 (lot number 9G04) and 49502-697-61 (lot numbers 9FD8, 9FD9 and 9FE1). All packages contain 3.0 ml vials and display the brand name "DEY." In the weeks prior to the truck theft, some portion of each lot had been sold by Dey to its customers and successfully entered the legitimate pharmaceutical supply chain. Because the stolen product may have been stored or handled improperly, Dey is requesting that any and all product with the affected lot numbers be isolated and not be dispensed, sold or used. Dey has alerted its distributors and customers.

Most 3D artists have experienced Poser at some time in their career. The character tool for animation and graphic design applications was originally based on the pose-able wooden mannequin used by artists for many years.
Poser's figure library has grown in scope and sophistication to make it the alternative modelling tool for artists who need to quickly add characters to 2D and 3D scenes. Recent updates to the tool have introduced refined Morph Targets and the Face Room for wrapping bitmap photos onto Poser figures (both enhanced in this version), while dynamic clothing, hair, and props have become more integrated parts of the Poser wardrobe too.

Last week I met a friend and colleague for a work session over coffee, but before we got down to business, he told me about the latest escapade involving his roommate's dog. The dog, a miniature pinscher who is energetic and reactive by any measure, was resting cozily in my friend's lap as he worked on his laptop. Both were enjoying being together in this way as they often do. The next few seconds were less relaxing and much more exciting.

The broadcaster also said it was writing down the value of its 22% stake in the German subscriber television service KirchPayTV.
That one-off �985m charge dragged the company deep into the red, with final pre-tax losses coming in at �1.2bn.
The British satellite broadcaster's decision to write down the value of its Kirch holding reflects its unease over the loss-making German channel's prospects.
Investors welcomed the write-down as a sign that BSkyB will stop putting money into KirchPayTV, and BSkyB shares closed 24p higher at 726p.
BSkyB will be legally entitled to force Kirch's debt-laden parent company to buy back its stake in the Germany pay TV service for 1.3bn euros in October if the company has not been floated on the stock market by then.
"We remain focused on protecting our rights and securing the full value from our put option," Mr Ball said.
BSkyB, 36% owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, was last year widely rumoured to be planning a takeover of KirchGruppe, the heavily indebted German media giant which owns most of KirchPayTV.
Competition probe
BSkyB, which broadcasts most of its output by satellite dish, is the largest pay TV service in the UK.
Last year, British competition watchdogs opened an investigation following complaints from rival pay TV companies that BSkyB is abusing its domninant market position.
If found guilty, the broadcaster could face fines of up to �300m.

These days, plenty of emerging markets are considered inexpensive when examining traditional valuation metrics such as price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios. Investors have a plethora of options for accessing several deeply discounted emerging markets through just one ETF and one of the more regionally-focused funds with a compelling valuation is the SPDR S&P Emerging Europe ETF (GUR).
With about $80 million in assets under management, GUR is dwarfed in size by other diversified emerging markets funds, but for the investor that wants to access developing world stocks on the cheap, GUR merits consideration. Not only is GUR trading at noticeable discounts compared to larger emerging markets funds such as the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM), GUR has been soaring in recent weeks. [Time for the Emerging Europe ETF]
In the past 90 days, GUR has jumped almost 15% and in the past month, the ETF has gained over 9%. That could be a sign investors are finally warming to low valuations on developing world equities, something they passed on earlier this year. Russia, a market that is often trades at a discount to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, is 57.4% of GUR's weight. Poland, a steady performer even in a volatile year for emerging markets, is another 15.3% of GUR's geographic exposure. [Zloty Helps Poland ETFs Stand Strong]
Turkey, which has been decimated by a sagging currency and political volatility, is GUR's second-largest country weight at 19.7%. While Turkish stocks have turned in dismal performances on a year-to-date basis, the iShares MSCI Turkey Investable Market ETF (TUR) has sprung to life in recent weeks and some analysts are feeling a tad more bullish on the market.

'The New Neymar' Neilton scores golazo v Portuguesa, already has 3 goals in 6 for Santos
Santos' culture of producing home-grown stars shows no signs of changing with the sale of Neymar.
No sooner had 'Ney' been sold than Santos promoted Neilton, their next bright young thing to the first team to 'replace' him.
And after inheriting Neymar Junior's number 11 shirt, the 19 year old with a name crossed between 'Neymar' and 'Ailton' has hit the ground running: 3 goals in 6 games show the pressure certainly isn't getting to him.
And with his first true golazo to his name, scored in last Saturday's 4-1 win over Portuguesa, he looks ready to lead the Santos attack.
As cliched as it is to nickname him The New Neymar for his physical similarities, number, position and name, it can't be denied that his golazo against Portuguesa (below) was uncannily reminiscent of the former Santos idol.

Valentine's Day may have come to an end but Morgantown residents showed their love in style. Some bought cupcakes and flowers for their sweethearts.
Jeremy Spear decided to purchase cupcakes for his girlfriend for Valentine's Day. He said that cupcakes are something they can both enjoy and it saves money for bigger events.
"Her birthday is only a few days after that," said Spear. "I think cupcakes are great for Valentine's Day and maybe more of the jewelry for the birthday afterwards."
Janet Williams is a co-owner of the "Cupcakerie" and says many people thought like Spear this year. It took a lot of organization to handle the orders from everywhere, even out of the country.
"Answering the phone, answering emails, we've talked to parents of WVU students from internationally, in several states all across the United States from California to Beckley," said Williams. "They can't be with their WVU students and are happy to do something for them and we deliver to dorms or apartments."
Cupcakes were just one of many gifts available to purchase in Morgantown.
The Wow Factory held a Date Night that involved couples, and anyone who wanted to attend, to create their own gifts.
Elise Hauser came with her husband after receiving a gift from her children from the Wow Factory. She said the people were helpful, especially for a first time visit.
"I'm just enjoying the different projects," said Hauser. "It's not often you see men and women, couples, doing projects like this together and everyone seems to be having a really good time."
Guests of the Wow Factory took their creations home but most couples said they enjoyed the conversation and company the most.

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has warned of imminent closings at air-traffic-control towers amid airport-worker furloughs, but there are other ways to comply with onerous budget cuts, says a GOP senator.
Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) wants the administration to start by nixing an upcoming conference on Asia-Pacific flight standards, while trimming spending from other travel programs.
Among Coburn's other proposed targets and potential savings, according to a letter he wrote to the Transportation Department yesterday, were:
* Consultants, supplies and travel ($105 million).
* Airport-improvement grants ($926 million).
* Funding for private airports ($41 million).
* The hiring of nonessential employees, including community planners who earn $129,000 a year.
* Service to tiny towns ($6 million).
Among airports getting federal cash is the privately held Montauk Airport, located just steps from the beach. It got $150,000 last year, according to Federal Aviation Administration records.
"Before considering cuts to essential services, I would encourage the administration to first cancel all upcoming conferences, freeze all nonessential hiring, reconsider cuts to private control towers and reduce funding for several low-priority programs before cutting costs that could impact flight safety," Coburn wrote Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood.
Last month, LaHood said the feds would have to cut about $1 billion because of the budget sequester.
"The vast majority of FAA's nearly 47,000 employees will be furloughed for approximately one day per pay period until the end of the fiscal year, and in some cases it could be as many as two days," he said.

Looking at the modchip chart it does say that you can put a d2pro9 on a d2b is that what you had?
Anyway check the soldering points again to see if any visible damage was done.
Ummm... I lost my marbles and didnt look at the serial number of a mates console, I tried to chip it with a D2Pro chip and its a D2B chip!!
Now, even though Ive removed the chip, I cant get the remotes working, the machine boots up as normal and when it says Press 'A' at the boot up stage the remotes dont work with it, then after say 1 min the menu appears with the name of the correct disk inserted but it still wont see the remotes. They work fine if I plug them into another console though... have I cocked this unit up big time or what?????? I have a feeling he's gonna kill me!!
Looking at the modchip chart it does say that you can put a d2pro9 on a d2b is that what you had?
Anyway check the soldering points again to see if any visible damage was done.
No its a D2Pro15 but I used a Wii Clip
dumb i know but someone else has the problem last week.................re-sync your wiimotes
Side note about the chip.........
The D2Pro9 has support for D2B now if you have the latest modchip firmware on it. However I don't know if the same firmware works on the D2Pro's let alone using a Wii-Clip as well. May be different routing needed.
Check out the makers website at the diagrams. http://www.d2pro.com
*Update* Looking at the diagram.........
I don't think the D2Pro15 works on D2B, Only the new D2Pro9 does (from this company that is).

As stated above....First try to re-sync the wiimotes.....If that doesn't work then power down the wii, unplug the sensor bar from the wii plug it back in then power up again....let us know how you make out....
when all else fails with the remote...and I have done this many times....
do as smokin87lx said....but also remove the batteries and put them back in ( default resets the Wiimotes.
Wiihacks Super Mod / Admin
Spot On!!...I love this site!!
Many thanks to all those who chipped in with advice... woohoo! I re-sync'd the remotes...Duh!

"Flight" represents a return to form for two of its chief architects: Denzel Washington, who delivers one of his best performances after too many years in solid but conventional action-thrillers, and director Robert Zemeckis, who is making his first live-action film after a decade of iffy motion-capture animated movies. The story concerns Whip Whitaker (Washington), an alcoholic airline pilot forced to make a harrowing emergency landing, saving most of his passengers' lives in the process. But his heroism comes under scrutiny when investigators discover he was intoxicated, a revelation that may send him to jail for criminal negligence. This character drama doubles as an affecting portrait of addiction that's all the more arresting because of the lengths Whitaker will go to deny that he has a problem, although it's clear to all around him that he does. Washington makes the character's personal descent a slow-motion heartbreak, and he's surrounded by a strong cast, including John Goodman, Bruce Greenwood, and Don Cheadle, although a special tip of the hat goes to Kelly Reilly, playing a heroin addict who sees in Whitaker a similarly damaged soul.
It's been a mediocre year for animation, which makes the arrival of "Wreck-It Ralph" cause for celebration. Early in the film we meet the disgruntled title character (voiced by John C. Reilly), who's tired of playing the villain in his 1980s video game and treated like a pariah by the game's other inhabitants. Consequently, Ralph escapes his game and goes into another in the hope of being the hero for once. Cleverly satirizing different genres and eras of video games while still being user-friendly for neophytes, "Wreck-It Ralph" mixes sweetness with sharp humor. Also, the filmmakers have found just the right cast for the central roles: Reilly is a natural as the lumbering but warm-hearted Ralph, and Jack McBrayer gets plenty of laughs as the square, dimwitted good guy programmed to always defeat Ralph.
Hip-hop aficionados worship RZA, the influential mastermind behind the legendary Staten Island group Wu-Tang Clan. Sadly, his first directing effort, "The Man With the Iron Fists," doesn't display the same boundless assurance. This bloody homage to the kung fu movies of yesteryear stars RZA as a humble blacksmith living in a Chinese village who must become a warrior to help a dangerous mercenary (Russell Crowe, having a ball) take down some nasty warriors. "Iron Fists" is largely an excuse to deliver some full-throttle martial-arts sequences—the wirework is cheekily over the top throughout—but the proceedings grind to a halt whenever one character starts talking to another character about, like, feelings and stuff.
Sean Penn is known for his intense, fully committed performances, but he risks falling flat on his face with "This Must Be the Place," a deadpan, melancholy look at a washed-up, Robert Smith–like goth rock star, who leaves his Dublin home to travel across the U.S. in search of the Nazi guard who tormented his father during the Holocaust. A meditation on revenge, forgiveness, and America, the English-language debut of Italian filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino is highlighted by Penn's fey turn as Cheyenne, a musician hiding behind his white makeup and red lipstick. It's a nervy, affected performance, but there's also real sadness to it. (Penn wants you to see past Cheyenne's ridiculous surface to the bottomless regret underneath.) "This Must Be the Place" ultimately proves too meandering and tonally erratic to fully connect, but you may end up respecting the effort, if not the execution.
Music serves an even more crucial role in "A Late Quartet," an intelligent drama that's a sturdy vehicle for several fine actors. The movie chronicles a crisis in a New York string quartet. Peter (Christopher Walken) suffers from Parkinson's, married couple Robert (Philip Seymour Hoffman) and Juliette (Catherine Keener) have reached a rocky patch, and Daniel (Mark Ivanir) is trying to resist the advances of Robert and Juliette's comely daughter (Imogen Poots). Despite a whiff of soap opera, "A Late Quartet" sensitively explores how art can bring people together but also tear them apart, and the performances are masterly—especially Ivanir, as a condescending perfectionist who comes to discover that his air of superiority is no guard against unhappiness.

Toure Apologizes for Letting a Word Get in the Way of His Race-Baiting
On The Cycle today, MSNBC got a few more eyeballs and Toure apologizes for using a racial slur against Mitt Romney on Thursday's show. Take a look.
TOURE: I muddied the discussion by using the 'n-word. I could've made the same point without that word. I shouldn't have used it and for that I'm sorry.
Toure apologized for using a word but not for accusing Mitt Romney of racism for describing the Obama campaign, which has slandered Romney as a bully, a tax cheat, a felon, a vampire, a thief, a murder and a slaver, as a campaign based on hate.
Toure stands by that slander. He just wishes he would have made his point in a way that did not bring the network suits down on him to make him offer up a halfhearted apology.

MILWAUKEE, Nov. 1 (UPI) -- A poll of likely voters in Wisconsin found President Barack Obama is leading Republican candidate Mitt Romney in the state 51 percent to 43 percent.
The poll, conducted by Marquette University Law School last Thursday through Sunday, shows Obama taking an edge over Romney, who was in a virtual with Obama in Wisconsin two weeks ago, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. A previous Marquette poll showed Obama with 49 percent and Romney 48 percent.
The Marquette University poll of 1,243 likely voters in Wisconsin had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points.
Both presidential campaigns have been spending time in Wisconsin leading up to Election Day.
Obama stopped in Green Bay Thursday, where he said "our work is not yet done."
"And that's why I'm running for a second term as president -- because we've got more work to do," Obama said.
Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan made three campaign stops in Wisconsin Wednesday, telling voters in Racine, "As Racine County goes, so goes Wisconsin. As Wisconsin goes, so goes America."
"I really look forward to waking up Wednesday knowing we have the country back on the right track," Ryan said at a stop in Ashwaubenon.

The Kiss, Art Nouveau
Factual Information:
Period: 1907-1908
Period: 1907-1908
General Information:
This painting by Austrian painting Gustav Klimt is considered a fine example of the Art Nouveau style. In the artwork, a couple embrace and kiss. However only parts of their bodies are shown, and the rest is hidden behind a sheet of gold and geometric shapes. This type of artwork is characteristic of the Art Nouveau style because of its stylistic accents. The Art Nouveau movement often decorated objects in a very abstract and stylized way. This type of characteristic is easily seen in the work by the way the couple disolves into geometric and stylistic shapes.
Why This Artwork?
This artwork was chosen to show the Art Nouveau style, as well as show the growing stylistic and abstract representation in paintings and other artworks.

China Resources Breweries Limited ('CRB '), an associate of SABMiller plc ('SABMiller') and a subsidiary of China Resources Enterprise, Limited ('CRE'), announces that it has acquired a 90% interest in two breweries in Anhui Province from Anhui Longjin Group Limited (' Longjin Group'). The two brewing plants in Shucheng and Liuan produce the famous 'Longjin' brand. The Longjin Group retains the remaining 10% interest. The consideration for the acquisition was based on the book asset value of the two breweries as at 31st December 2003 and, subject to adjustment, amounted to RMB280 million (c.US$34 million) including assumption of certain liabilities totalling RMB82 million (c.US$10 million). With a combined annual production capacity of about 2.8 million hectolitres, the two brewing plants achieved sales volume of approximately 1.4 million hectolitres in 2003. Prior to the acquisition, CRB already owned and operated two breweries in Anhui and is one of the largest brewers in the province, with annual production capacity of 3.5 million hectolitres and sales volume in 2003 of 2.4 million hectolitres. With the acquisition, CRB will become the largest brewer in Anhui Province. Including the joint venture with Zhejiang Qianpi Group signed in March this year, the annual production capacity of CRB will be increased to about 49 million hectolitres. CRB will have 32 breweries covering the North Eastern, South Western, Central and Eastern regions of the Chinese Mainland. Mr. Andre Parker, Managing Director of SABMiller's Africa & Asia division, commented 'These latest acquisitions are another step in the creation of a powerful strategic growth platform for CRB, further strengthening its position as the second largest brewer in China. The transaction was completed at a price which represents excellent value to both SABMiller and CRE, and will enable us to access synergies and cost benefits with our existing operations.' Mr. Frank Ning, Chairman of CRE, said, 'The addition of Longjin will strengthen our presence in Anhui Province with a dominant market share in Hefei and Liuan. It will help span our significant market presence across the Central region, where we already have established a strong foothold in Wuhan. It will be another important platform for us to extend the distribution of our national brand, Snow.' ENDS NOTES TO EDITORS: Anhui Province has a population of 59 million people and is in the Eastern region of China.

At this point, there's little doubt Johnson could end up putting together a run as champion on par with the greats like Georges St-Pierre and Anderson Silva. His finish of Benavidez was jaw-dropping and further separated "Mighty Mouse" from the pack. Outside of a super-fight with a bantamweight like Urijah Faber, the only semi-plausible opponents for Johnson at the moment are John Dodson (who he beat last January but not without some adversity along the way) or John Lineker (who has failed to make weight a number of times and is allegedly on deck for a duel with Ali Bagautinov at UFC 169). Neither is a great option, but that's all the UFC has to offer at this point. (PHOTO CREDIT: Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports)
Finding a UFC win lacking significance is akin to the proverbial needle in a haystack. However, there's no question some victories have a larger impact on either a division or the involved individual than others. Such was certainly the case at UFC on FOX 9 where a few underdogs stepped up to the plate and knocked one out of the park, seasoned veterans rose to the occasion, and flyweight champ Demetrious Johnson turned in his best performance to date.

I'm trying to finish this game, and I'm trying to connect with some friends to finish the Co-Op missions.
We keep having connection issues, something like "Host server is using dlc that you do not have," and the only thing I'm missing is the Nowhere map.
Apparently we are required to also have that map, but it seems that it is no longer available. I go to exclusive map, download now, and it tells me cannot connect to Ubisoft servers at this time.
Can anyone shed some light on this please? Either some sort of explanantion or clarification? I would like to get this done before Future Soldier releases.
Thank you, Josh.

Union offers funds lifeline to fabrics staff
The Textiles, Clothing and Footwear Union will provide some money to help the employees of a Ballarat factory that is being liquidated.
Hilton Fabrics went into liquidation on Tuesday and 40 jobs have been lost.
Some of the workers are owed thousands of dollars and the liquidator is not confident that money will be made available.
The union's Karen Douglas says it has a fund the workers can access to help them find new jobs.
"Those monies are available for ... the workers there and the union will be assisting those members in accessing that particular funding which goes to jobs agencies and also assisting these people in retraining for alternative employment," she said.
She says some workers are thousands of dollars out of pocket.
"The people worked last week and the company at this stage has not come through with their wage or their payroll for the last week, so these people are in a critical position and Centrelink will be working with them to make sure that there are some payments coming through for them and their families," she said.

When a warning is issued or severe weather threatens, immediately seek shelter inside a sturdy building away from windows. If a tornado is possible, go to the safe area in the building immediately! If you hear outdoor warning sirens, first go to your safe area, then seek more information. $$

"I have been very fortunate to be able to pursue a passion for competitive golf at a few very special places with many outstanding people. Penn State has been one of those places. I have particularly enjoyed the Penn State approach to intercollegiate athletics. Penn State supports our program to be competitive athletically on a conference and national level, but insists that the student-athlete's education and well-being remain first and foremost."
- Coach Nye
The most significant contribution Nye has made to Penn State and eastern collegiate golf history came at the end of the 1995-96 season, when he led the Nittany Lions to the NCAA Finals with a ninth-place finish in the NCAA East Regional.
With their triumphant finish at the East Regional, the Nittany Lions became the first team from either of the NCAAs eastern sections - District I or II - to advance to the finals since the regional format was established in 1987.
In 2004, his Nittany Lions rocked the collegiate golf world by nearly winning the NCAA East Regional, finishing second out of 27 teams, seven of which were ranked in the nation's top 15. One of the teams finishing behind the Lions was No. 1-ranked Florida Gators. The Nittany Lions then went on to finish 15th among 30 teams at the NCAA Finals, making Penn State golf history with its highest team finish ever. The team headed into Big Ten territory for the 2008 edition of the NCAA regionals after receiving a bid to the Central Regional hosted by Ohio State. The 13th-seeded Penn State team captured an eighth-place finish to secure its third NCAA championship berth under Coach Nye.
At the Championship, the squad sat in 25th after the third round and did not make the 15-team cut to advance to the final round. Kevin Foley tied for 23rd in the third round and was the sole Nittany Lion to compete in the final round. The talented sophomore held on to his 23rd-place position at the completion of the championship.
The Penn State squad was propelled into the 2010 NCAA Finals by seniors T.J. Howe and Kevin Foley. The standout performances by the pair secured a fourth-place finish for the Nittany Lions at regionals, knocking off higher-ranked opponents including No. 17 South Carolina and No. 19 Virginia. Howe's t-1st-place finish made Penn State history as he collected the best individual regional finish by any Nittany Lion golfer.
"The 1996, 2004, 2008 and 2010 teams were very special," said Nye. "More importantly, they were very tough minded and believed they could be successful against the higher ranked teams."
Personal Milestone at Marshall Invitational
In April 2007, Nye marked a personal achievement while the Nittany Lions celebrated their victory at the Marshall Invitational, beating the next best team by 12 strokes. The championship, won on a cool, snowy weekend at the Guyan Golf and Country Club, was the 50th of Nye's coaching career. To date, Nye's career coaching win total stands at 65.
In his first two years, Nye's teams set two Penn State records for the number of championships earned in a season, with six in 1992-93 and eight in 1993-94, a mark that was tied by the 1996-97 squad.
Academic & Athletic Excellence
In addition to the team's success on the course, Nye has continually stressed strong performance in the classroom. In 15 of 20 seasons at Penn State, the Nittany Lions have achieved a team grade-point average greater than 3.00. In 2000-01, Nye's team posted the best G.P.A. of any of the 31 intercollegiate teams at Penn State. Nye has coached 17 GCAA All-America Scholars, one GTE Academic All-American and each year he has seen a high percentage of the team rewarded for their academic achievements with Academic All-Big Ten honors. Nye's teams have continually ranked near or at the top of the Mid-Atlantic Region. The team has qualified for the NCAA Regional 20 times, most recently in 2016. In 2011, senior T.J. Howe competed individually at the Virginia Tech regional. His squads have also won the Eastern Championship three straight seasons, 1993-95, and in 1997.
Nye was voted the NCAA District II Coach of the Year in 1993, 1994, 2000, 2001, 2004, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2015. He has coached 35 NCAA All-Region players, five Mid-Atlantic Region Players of the Year, ten All-Big Ten selections, as well as six NCAA All-Americans - Adam Decker (1997), Matt Abbott (2001), Mark Leon (2004), Foley (2008/09/10) Howe (2010) and Charles Huntzinger (2016).
"Our program has grown on the national scene as we watched our rankings consistently stay in the top 25 percent of all Division I golf programs," Nye said. "We have challenged ourselves with our schedule and the quality of our play has moved right along with that challenge."
"We have challenged ourselves with our schedule and the quality of our play has moved along with that challenge."
- Coach Nye
The Road to Happy Valley
After eight years as head coach of the Bowling Green State University men's and women's golf teams in Bowling Green, Ohio, Nye was attracted to Penn State and its membership in the Big Ten Conference. The 1987 Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year developed a familiarity with Penn State as a visiting primary instructor to its golf camps. Nye is currently the co-director of the Penn State golf camps, which run for four weeks each summer.
Professional Leadership
Nye has been a member of the Golf Coaches Association of America for 28 years and served as the Chair of the Ethics committee from 1993-2003. In addition, he also served the NCAA as a District Selection Chair for the NCAA Championship from 1997-99. Nye, a PGA "Class A" member since 1982, began his professional career working as a golf professional in 1980.
Playing Career
Nye graduated from the College of Wooster (Ohio) in 1979 where he earned All-America honors each of his four seasons. As a sophomore, junior and senior, he received first-team honors. With a second-team selection in his first year, Nye and his teammates captured the 1975 NCAA Division III Golf Championship in which he finished eighth individually. Before concluding his collegiate career, Nye earned second, fourth and sixth-place finishes in the national championship. Nye was the individual champion in the Ohio Athletic Conference in his final two years at Wooster. In 1978, he set a conference margin of victory record winning by 11 shots. He played on Fighting Scot squads that captured conference titles in 1975, 1976, and 1977.
In 1990, Nye was inducted into Wooster's Athletic Hall of Fame and was honored with induction into the Wayne County, Ohio Sports Hall of Fame in Wooster, Ohio in 2002. In the fall of 2009, Nye was also inducted into the Wooster High School Hall of Fame.
Nye's national amateur tournament experience is considerable. While at Wooster, he twice gained exemptions to play in the Western Amateur and Porter Cup. He also played in the Eastern, Canadian and U.S. Amateurs. He played professionally on the North Florida mini-tour in 1980.
A Life In Golf
When asked about how his life in golf and Penn State fit together Nye said, "Sports, golf, competing, coaching and teaching have been with me from the beginning. I have been very fortunate to be able to pursue a passion for competitive golf at a few very special places with many outstanding people. Penn State has been one of those places. I have particularly enjoyed the Penn State approach to intercollegiate athletics. Penn State supports our program to be competitive athletically on a conference and national level, but insists that the student athletes' education and well being remains first and foremost."
Nye and his wife, Marjie, reside in State College with their two sons, Russell and Graham.
Nye Family Golf Tradition
Coach Nye, his two brothers and his father have all been greatly involved in the sport of golf. Father Bob Nye coached all three sons at the College of Wooster in Ohio and has seen each son find his own niche professionally.
Bob Nye coached golf and soccer at the College of Wooster from 1963-1996 and was inducted into Wooster's Hall of Fame in 1997. He served as the president of the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) from 1984-86 and was inducted into its Hall of Fame in 1998. In 2000, the elder Nye received the GCAA's highest distinction by being presented with the Honor Award for his lifetime contributions to golf. He was named Golfweek's Father of the Year in 2007.
Coach Nye's brother, Scott, is the head golf professional at the prestigious Merion Golf Club, located in Ardmore, Pa., which has hosted four United States Open Championships. Merion hosted the 2009 Walker Cup and will host the 2013 U.S. Open.
Nye's youngest brother, Gary, serves as the head golf professional at the Stock Farm Club in Hamilton, MT.

Russia set itself apart from the competition yet again at the London Olympics, winning the team synchronized swimming for its fourth consecutive gold medal in the event.
The Russians showed why they've been the sport's dominant power since the 1998 world championships. Their height, speed, legwork and synchronization in the pool is far superior to anything the rest of the world is doing.
And don't think other countries don't realize it.
"We are still some distance from Russia. They will be our targets in the future for a long while," China coach Zhang Xiaolei said. "Maybe gold will be our long-term aim. Russia is our motivation."
The Russians earned 98.930 points for a team free routine on Friday that featured swimmers doing acrobatic flips and pirouetting like ballerinas above the water. Having already won the team technical competition, they totaled 197.030.
"I am very happy that we managed to get the result with the girls and that we carried on the tradition of synchronized swimming," Anastasia Davydova said through a translator.
The team of Davydova, Maria Gromova, Natalia Ishchenko, Elvira Khasyanova, Alexandra Patskevich, Svetlana Romashina, Anzhelika Timanina and Alla Shishkina swam in black, red and gold suits featuring a spider web design on the back.
"The theme was a lost world like a big spider's net," Patskevich said. "We wanted people to get the goosebumps."
The Russians swam, flipped and kicked their way through the songs "War" and "Step" by Denis Garnizov.
Davydova became the most successful swimmer in the sport with her fifth gold medal, including three in the team event. Her teammates Gromova and Khasyanova also earned their third gold medals in the team competition.
"This was the hardest medal for me to win and the happiest," Davydova said. "I finish my career on a peak."
She plans to retire and get started on developing the next generation of young Russian swimmers as a coach beginning in September.
"We train children from three years of age at school," Davydova said in explaining her country's success in a sport that uses nose clips, hair gel and dramatic makeup. "By 15 they are already ahead and competing."
Ishchenko and Romashina claimed their second gold medals of these games after winning the synchro duet event.
With Russia a virtual lock for gold, it was left to China and Spain to swim for silver. The U.S. didn't qualify for the team event.
China took second at 194.010, edging Spain by 0.89 points. The Spanish settled for the bronze at 193.120 four years after winning silver in Beijing.
Wearing hot pink, purple and white suits, the Chinese marched in lockstep onto the deck. With their dramatic "Butterfly" music under way, they flipped one swimmer in the air.
Moments later, another swimmer was flipped horizontally, and she rolled multiple times like a log before hitting the water. Two swimmers flipped in opposite directions, drawing cheers and a score of 97.010 for their free routine.
"That was the best performance ever," swimmer Jiang Tingting said. "We have been training for so many years and we have been through a lot of things. We have been working very hard, we have overcome a lot of injuries, and we have made it."
China earlier won the bronze in synchro duet.
The Spanish wore silver-sequined suits and matching caps resembling fish scales that shimmered in and out of the water.
Spain was so eager to win a medal that all of the team's swimmers cut their hair above their shoulders in a good-luck ritual a night earlier.
Spain coach Elisabet Fernandez said it took an hour for the nine swimmers to get into their suits and special glue was used to adhere the suits and caps to their skin.
Spain's two biggest moves involved one swimmer diving over the top of another who formed a bridge with her back fully arched out of the water - supported by four swimmers - and a swimmer who appeared to be walking on water as the others held her up from underneath. The team imitated dolphins, sharks and waves during the ocean creatures-themed routine that earned 96.920.
"We were very happy to have the bronze. We didn't expect to get silver," swimmer Thais Henriquez said. "The routine went very well and we were very pleased to have achieved our objectives. What we wanted to do was to make the team shine."

With the support of the United Way, nearly $10,000 has been donated towards Avonova's Project Click, enough to pilot the digital literacy project that will put computers and the Internet into 20 local households and at Shelterlink.

"With our city leading the way into a digital future, we want to make sure that no one gets left behind," says Susan Kurtz, chair of the project steering committee.

United Way executive director Ryan Erb notes families who are unable to afford a computer and Internet service are at a significant disadvantage. Their kids can't complete homework assignments, parents struggle to access job search engines and other types of service that many of us take for granted, he added.

Families and children are not the only population groups affected by limited access to technology. Seniors can feel isolated, particularly when family members are remote. Teens without access to technology develop a high sense of exclusion.

Rhyzome Networks has sponsored the Internet fees for the project and RIM donated 10 Blackberry PlayBooks.

The Opportunity For Insights In 2014Monday, December 30, 2013, 14:32 pm No Comments
Market research is at a cross-roads right now. Researchers need to fully utilize the tools (in this case data) that we already have and further there needs to be some thought given to understanding what contributions are actually useful.
Driving Better Business Decisions with Social Media Research and the Internet of ThingsFriday, November 29, 2013, 12:37 pm 1 Comment
The advent of the IoT is creating new ways of looking at old Market Research problems. Forward-looking businesses have the opportunity to use the resulting intelligence to make better decisions so as to optimize dynamic messaging, pricing, stock levels, store layouts, staffing and service delivery and in the process drive economic growth and improve quality of life.

A field experiment was conducted to study the effects of nitrogen (N) topdressing on the biomass accumulation and nutrient concentration and storage in different organs of two-year-old eucalyptus. Comparing with the control, N topdressing increased the eucalyptus biomass by 24. 2 % . Branch had the highest increment (38. 2% ), while leaf had the lowest one. The nutrient uptake under N topdressing was improved significantly, with the order of P>K>N>Mg> Ca>Si. Leaf had the highest contents of N, P, Mg, and Si; trunk had the highest storage of K; while branch had the most significant increase of nutrient concentration and storage. The N, P, and K were recycled mainly through internal flux, with 73. 8% of N, 79. 1 % of P, and 72. 9% of K in leaf transferred back to the plant before leaf fallen, and the external flux of these three nutrients only occupied 14. 8%, 7. 7% , and 8. 6% of their total storage in the tree, respectively. The Ca, Mg and Si were the external flux elements, especially for Ca. 89. 2% of Ca in leaf was cycled in external flux, accounting for 25. 9% of its total storage in the tree.

OVER 100 MPs from across the party spectrum have united to oppose plans to house more than 8,100 cows in a mass dairy farm in Lincoln.
An Early Day Motion raised by Eric Martlew, Labour MP for Carlisle, has been signed by 128 of his colleagues, including Clare Short, Frank Dobson, Frank Field, Glenda Jackson and Charles Kennedy.
Opposition has been mounting over the last month to the application from consortium Nocton Dairies, since animal group Viva! launched a national campaign against the proposal in February.
Mr Martlew says: "I am very pleased that the EDM has been signed by 100 MPs from all parties. I think the proposal for the dairy farm is a huge threat to animal welfare as it will operate as an intensive system with over 8,000 cows kept indoors for the majority of their lives.
"This is unnatural confinement and leads to the suffering of farm animals when many supermarkets have been trying to improve the production standards of food they offer customers.
"Problems which arise from intensive dairy farming include high levels of lameness, poor body condition, infertility and short lifespan. I will be writing to the major supermarket chains asking them not to use milk or dairy products produced in such a cruel manner."
Planning authority North Kesteven Council, who are accepting comments on the application until April 9, have been inundated with hundreds of objections from members of the public and organisations including Viva!, the Soil Association and the Environment Agency.
Viva! founder and director, Juliet Gellatley, says: "It is fantastic that so many MPs from all parties have joined together in objection to this horrendous application for what would be nothing short of a prison for dairy cows. I hope many more MPs, organisations and members of the public who have any concern for animals or the countryside will join our campaign to stop the plans for this dairy going any further."
Viva!'s Facebook group Oppose the UK's Biggest Factory Farm, now has over 3,500 members.
For more information on this campaign, call Viva! on 0117 944 1000 or visit www.viva.org.uk.
For more information about this press release, please contact Viva! press officer Helen Rossiter or Juliet Gellatley, by calling 0117 944 1000 or emailing email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Viva!'s statement against plans for the UK's largest dairy farm in south Lincolnshire
Dairy cows are the hardest worked of all farmed animals, suffering from excruciating mastitis, lameness, infertility and exhaustion from being continually impregnated to keep their milk yields flowing. Many of today's dairy cows are already too big for the indoor cubicles they inhabit, finding it difficult to lie down.
8,100 dairy cows imprisoned in dark sheds for the majority of their lives would multiply these problems, it would be an animal welfare disaster; the equivalent of battery farming cows.
This 'specialist unit' would be 'specialist' in nothing but inflicting an unprecedented amount of agony on thousands of animals at a time. Factory farming animals on this scale will guarantee nothing but a massive rise in levels of disease, infection and injury.
It is beyond belief this company claim the highest of animal welfare standards would be observed - with plans for just 80 staff and one vet to oversee a herd of such grotesque proportions.
Applicants say methane emissions from the animals would be reduced by feeding a special 'locally' produced diet - without, Viva! claim, taking into account the extra emissions which would be produced by the production, processing and transportation of the 250,000 litres of milk the plant would output daily.
It has been scientifically proven time and time again that the meat and dairy industry is responsible for the greatest proportion of all greenhouse gas emissions. Viva! sincerely hope planners aren't fooled into thinking such an immense industrial development would do anything but add to C02 emissions.
Local governments should be welcoming proposals which encourage a move away from meat and dairy consumption - and instead examine projects to reinvigorate land to grow crops to feed people directly, which is the most sustainable way forward.

If you're interested in Fedora 21, please read the review. Is this the best release since Fedora 14?
Give Fluxbox A Try
Are you getting tired of running Unity, Gnome or KDE on your Ubuntu desktop? Try Fluxbox, a windows manager that is light on resources. Fluxbox is based on Blackbox. It's extremely easy to use. If you are looking for an alternative to Unity, Gnome or KDE, then you should give Fluxbox a try.
How To Install Fluxbox
To install Fluxbox, you can access the Ubuntu Software Center and search for Fluxbox, and then Click Install. If you prefer the Terminal, you simply type the following command:
sudo apt-get install fluxbox
Start Fluxbox
To start Fluxbox, you will need to log out of your current windows manager. There is no need to reboot your computer. You will be taken to the Ubuntu Login screen instead. You can choose Fluxbox instead of your default windows manager. Mine was originally set to Gnome.
Right Click
Once inside Fluxbox, you can access everything using the left click of your mouse. Fluxbox has a simple menu that is accessible anywhere on the screen. Just right click and select any application that you want.
Adding to the Menu
Not everything is on the menu. You may have to add a few things. It's easy. The file is located in ~/.fluxbox/menu. You may want to edit it and add your own entries.
vi ~/.fluxbox/menu
It uses the following format:
[exec] (Gimp) {/usr/bin/gimp}
Change Background Image
You can change background by typing this command on the Terminal:
fbsetbg -f path/to/file/image.jpg
In addition, you can also change themes. Just right click and select Styles. Choose one from about 25 different themes. I happen to like bora_black.
Give Fluxbox a try. If you don't like it, you can always go back to your default windows manager. If you like it, you might want to stick around for a while. Enjoy the fast response of Fluxbox.
Linux Mint 12
Linux Mint was officially released on November 12, for almost a week now. Be sure to check it out if you haven't had a chance to look at it yet. For those not familiar with the Mint distro, Linux Mint is based on the latest release of Ubuntu, but with a few wrinkles. For starters, it works out of the box with full multimedia support.
So, no more hassles in trying to get your DVD movies and other multimedia formats to work, which is a common problem for people starting out with Ubuntu. You also get a Windows-like menu system. Hey, anything helps to smooth out the transition when switching from Windows to Linux.
Of course, not everyone in the Ubuntu community particularly likes Unity. Some, like myself, have reverted back to the old-style Gnome. I'm using Gnome Classic, albeit on Gnome 3. By the way, Mint 12 has Gnome 2-like features that's definitely worth checking.
White Screen of Death
Remember the good old days when Windows had problems with the "Blue Screen of Death." Years later, XBox followed with its "Red Ring of Death." Now, it's Ubuntu turn, what others are coining as the "White Screen of Death."
Yesterday, I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot. Prior to the upgrade, I was using Ubuntu 11.04 and the Gnome desktop (not Unity). Somehow, for some reason, when I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10, it wiped out my Gnome default environment and switched me back to Unity. Argh!
To make matters worse, I was getting a blank white screen every time I switch to full screen mode. Outside of the full screen, everything seemed ok. I've only had a few hours to test the system. But, I think the problem is stemming from the video drivers that were introduced in Ubuntu 11.10.
What's the workaround for now? After several hours, I ended up using Ubuntu 2D as my desktop environment instead of the default Ubuntu 3D. I should switch back to Gnome and get rid of Unity all together. But, like a good supporter, I'm trying hard to like Unity. I should give it one more chance.
Update: It turned out to be the NVidia video driver. I rolled it back to version 173 and it seems to work fine.
Change Gnome Keyring Password
If you are like me, you probably just changed your Ubuntu password. Everything worked fine, but the problem is, every once in a while you'll get an annoying message to enter your Gnome keyring password, which is still set to your old password. To fix this issue, you will need to delete the default keyring. You can do so using the following command from the Ubuntu Terminal.
rm ~/.gnome2/keyrings/default.keyring
The command above will delete your keyring password. You will be asked to set a new gnome keyring password the next time you visit a site or need to authorize something. You can then set your new keyring password to match your current Linux password.
If you want to disable the keyring password altogether, you can do so by reading this article by noob2geek.
