HALIFAX is hoping for a tourism boost after officially being made a Minster town.
Sunday's commemorative service marked the rededication of the parish church of St John the Baptist. It will now be known as the Minster Church of St John the Baptist, Halifax – or Halifax Minster.
A civic party led by the Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Calderdale, Arshad Mahmood and Nader Fekri, made its way from Halifax Town Hall to the church, before town crier Les Cutts read a declaration.
A planned parade by religious dignitaries, to be led by the Bishop of Wakefield Stephen Platten, was cancelled due to bad weather.
Bishop Platten led the service, which included readings by Dr Ingrid Roscoe, Lord Lieutenant of West Yorkshire and Leader of Calderdale Council, Stephen Baines.
A commemorative 12-bell peal rang out across the town before a lunch at the town hall and Evensong service.
Councillor Baines (Con, Northowram and Shelf) said: "It is a tremendous boost to the town.
"The new Halifax Minster sets the seal on our ambitious plans for this historic part of town, which already plays a significant role in the cultural life of the community. It will usher in a new era of prosperity for the people of Halifax."
Director of Square Chapel Centre for the Arts Sally Martin said: "This is a wonderful addition to the growing significance of this cultural quarter of Halifax.
"Halifax is set to become a key cultural tourism destination for Yorkshire."
Halifax vicar Hilary Barber said: "Together we can help Halifax reposition itself as a jewel in West Yorkshire's crown."
The service included performances from Ryburn High School students and the Minster choir.

Dear China,
You are awesome. I just know it. And yes, we got off to a rocky start. And okay, yeah my in-laws are now emailing me, "I just read your blog, OMG I hope you can get out of this. It sounds like an awful place to be." That's entirely my fault. Some of my readers have been emailing me too. It might have been the picture of the smog-fog. Can I be honest? That didn't look good.
So yes, it's taken us longer to figure out where to live than I thought it would and yeah, I don't love some of food here which can be very bland or super salty or dripping with grease (or all three, sadly). When I get a kitchen, I promise I will learn the names of all the dishes and stop playing Menu Roulette at every meal. And yes, I have to use a VPN to get online, but that's half the adventure right? Like when I almost rented some guy's flophouse for double the local rate, I didn't get mad, I laughed about it. See! I can take a joke!
Today, my Kindle broke. I've been in China for two weeks, and believe me I'm not missing the irony of having a broken Kindle in the country that manufactures them AND the one place Amazon won't send me a replacement. I told everyone on Twitter I was going to raid the factory in a covert op and people stopped their busy day to respond to me and tell that that was A Bad Idea. I'm now in the position of needing people to tell me to not break into buildings in foreign countries in order to replace my electronics through what can only be called theft.
I'm not doing well.
It might be the cold I got the moment I arrived, which my son has been feeding back to me every day with his germy kisses. When he gets excited he now sounds like a pug.
Or maybe it's just me having a bad attitude about the freezing weather.
I'm not sure. Whatever it is, I know it's not you. You, darling, are great. I don't know you that well, but really all these complaints of mine are just the itchy discomfort of a woman trying to adapt too quickly.
So tonight, I'm calling a truce. Can I do that? Can we just start over?
I'll stop pointing out your cultural differences like they are character flaws and you can stop breaking my stuff and help the swelling on my left eye go down (don't ask). That would be fan-tastic. If you could also let my son know that when I try to put on his pants it's not because I hate him, it's so we can go ice skating, which he doesn't know yet what that is, but it's super fun.
Sort of like China.
XOXO- Christine
(PS Seriously, please don't break my iPhone.)
(PPS Please note I do like getting emails where people are worried about me. Tonight's post was almost called, "No seriously! And Then I Almost Died!" but I'm saving that for sweeps.)

Too Legit To Quit: Jay-Z Joins Barclays Arena Board
Already a cheerleader for the new Barclays Arena (as well as an investor in its main franchise, The Nets), Jay-Z can now add "Board Member" to his resume. As first reported by Atlantic Yards Report and followed up on by The Post, the rap star and impressario has accepted an invitation to be one of seven directors of Brooklyn Arena LLC, the ownership and management entity for the glass structure currently nearing completion at the intersection of Atlantic and Flatbush Avenues in Brooklyn. His legal name Shawn Carter surfaced in documents recently as part of the venue's application to the State Liquor Authority. Other board members include Forest City's Bruce Ratner, David Berliner, and Mary Anne Gilmartin as well as Mikhail Prokhorov reps Christophe Charlier, Irina Pavlova and David Carlock. In addition board member, Jay-Z also gets to call himself designer–he played a hands-on role in styling the group of 11 luxury suites in the arena called "The Vault."

Zion I & The Grouch ft. Silk E - Rockit Man
Released last fall, Zion I's acclaimed seventh full-length saw the Oakand duo exploring "...esoteric and unseen levels of existence" (to quote their In the Mix interview). Evidently, the cosmic head-trip that was Atomic Clock didn't exhaust the twosome's mystic wellspring of inspiration; Rockit Man, single numero uno off their sophomore full-length with fellow West Coast mainstay The Grouch, they're right back on their transcendental sh*t. DJ AmpLive takes a characteristically eccentric tack behind the boards, layering burbling synth arpeggios to achieve an effect that's otherworldly, and catchy to boot. Grouch and Zumbi come with compellingly weird, weirdly compelling rhymes to match the beat, the former mixing unhinged imagery ("You're a parrot, regurgitate like other birds") with cutting insights into the foundations of morality on the front, and the latter lacing the back with surreal Biblical-econo-metaphysical commentary. Topped off with the soaring hook vocals of singer/femcee Silk-E, Rockit is just the beginning of the fresh and enlightening material to be found on Zion I and Grouch's Heroes in the Healing of the Nation LP, due out March 22.

Cork manager Peadar Healy fears Brian Hurley's season is over after he suffered a recurrence of a hamstring injury against Meath today.
The Castlehaven forward had only just returned after being out of action for the last eight months with the injury. Hurley was forced off with seven minutes remaining as the struggling Rebels had to settle for a draw after leading by nine points with 15 minutes to go.
"The results will be out during the week, but it looks like he won't be available for the rest of the summer," Healy told Cork's Red FM.
"He was going lovely inside in training and he'd a lot of work done in fairness to him, but that's sport. That's the way things are."
Healy bemoaned his side's lack of killer instinct in the closing stages.
"We tried to defend the lead and sat back instead of keep playing like we did for the first 45 minutes. We had a few opportunities to kill off the game and we didn't take them. It's a point dropped for us, that's it," he said.
"It's been a tough few weeks. You're going to get knock-backs, that's sport. It's a tough division and a real dogged division. You have to work very hard for results."

Q--Will maturing savings bonds, treasury bills and notes be redeemable?
A--Yes. The nation's Federal Reserve banks, which will remain open during the shutdown, will continue the redemptions uninterrupted. Banks have been told by the Treasury Department that the government has enough money to meet its debt obligations. The government will not default, according to Treasury Sec. Robert Rubin.

Opening the Political Dam: A Call to Free Speech Reform in Wyoming
"All power is inherent in the people…"
Wyo. Const. Art. I, § 1.
"Every person may freely speak, write and publish on all subjects…"
Wyo. Const. Art. I, § 20.
"Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech … or the right of the people to peaceably assemble…"
U.S. Const. Amend. I.
Americans are guaranteed the freedom of speech. Even those who cannot quote the First Amendment instinctively understand that the government has no place controlling the thoughts and words of any group of individuals. But a number of state and federal laws do just that, most effectively against political speech. Here in Wyoming, the state Election Code imposes real burdens – demanding individuals register and report with the state before speaking, demanding that but miniscule amounts of money might be spent to support favored groups and candidates, demanding the surrender of constitutional rights.
These laws are like many regulations in Wyoming: instead of protecting individuals, they insulate a certain industry – in this case, the political class – from competition. For a state that prides itself on having a citizen legislature and politicians who are in touch with their constituencies, Wyoming law goes to great lengths to give advantage to incumbents, entrenched political parties, professional lobbyists and other political players who can navigate the system.
In this first issue of the Liberty Brief, Benjamin Barr illustrates a number of laws within the Election Code that violate our right to free speech and secure the political class. For example:
The Election Code does not define "political contribution." When you give money to a candidate for office, you probably assume it's a contribution. But what if you donate to an organization that sometimes supports a candidate or a number of candidates for office? What if you volunteer to help a candidate's campaign? You might just be finded up to $10,000 for your act of voluntary citizenship. The Wyoming Election Code provides no guidance for these and other activities that might be considered "contribution," forcing average citizens to risk prosecution in order to support or oppose candidates. These kind of vague laws are considered "chilling" because they scare people away from association and speech, and because of this they violate the First Amendment.
The Election Code's contribution limit is too low. The contribution limit for a person in Wyoming is $1,000 per candidate, and this protects incumbents from being challenged. To make an effective run against an established office holder, you must spend an inordinate amount of time raising money from different people rather than focusing on the issues. It costs money to get a message out so restricting contributions to such low levels hinders free speech, which means that this law also violates the First Amendment.
The Election Code requires registering with the state to band together. If you join with a friend or a group of people to support or oppose a candidate or ballot measure, you must register with the state and regularly report the money your group spends. The legal hoops one must jump through just to speak together chills speech and another part of the First Amendment – the right to peaceably assemble. This law pigeonholes citizens: while you may speak as an individual, you will need to comply with layers of red tape just to join together to increase your voice and disseminate your message. The other, easier option is to join with established groups or one of th eparties that already have the resources and knowledge to navigate this web of laws, which is exactly what these groups want you to do.
Free speech means protecting the robust exchange of ideas on all topics, and politics should be no exception. This issue of the Liberty Brief offers solutions to making Wyoming a leader in free political speech, a state where citizens may easily challenge politicians and political players.

2012 Jeep Liberty issues
I have a 2012 Jeep Liberty 20,000 Miles, problem started out at what felt to be bad gas, felt a hesitation or a skip, brought it to dealership they said they didn't feel anything, problem persisted and I brought it back, was told that they can feel the hesitation they thought maybe it was the Torque Converter they reset it back to factory settings however made no difference, I was then told that because it does it in Tow Haul that it was not the Torque converter, they changed the EGR Valve, put in new plugs and decarbed the motor neither of which made a difference, now dealership says there's nothing they can do as the computer doesnt read anything is wrong. I have a claim open with Jeep. the Liberty feels like it jerks or hesitates mailnly when at a constant speed approx. 15-1600 RPMs at almost any speed and has now seemed to have gotten worse. Has now started to feel like it is powerless on hills if at a constant speed you apply the gas up a hill it will stay at the same speed or decrease in speed, not gain speed, however once it shifts, if it does going up the hill it will take right off....anyone have any similar issues?
pretty sure every kk has this.. isnt that the torque converter lock/unlock for eco mode? someone correct me if im wrong. but mine does this too, everything i have read has said it is normal.
I cant believe that it is normal to feel like your engine is skipping everytime you try to keep the Liberty at a constant speed on the highway...it actually feels like its on a bumpy road when it is not from the jerking...if it were true that it is the lock?unlock mode than I would say it would not do it in Tow Haul mode because Tow Haul prevents the torque converter from going into lock out. However it does it in Tow Haul, also does it much worse with the air conditioning on.
Also I bought this Liberty Brand new and it didn't do it when first purchased, didn't start until I owned it for close to a year.
what size tires are you running? Are you driving with the ECO and trying to drive with the "on" lit?
Since buying mine new, I noticed that the transmission seemed a lot like a European "tiptronic" style that uses pedal input to control how and when the trans shifts.
I found that I had to be more aggressive with gas pedal input to get the trans to downshift one gear. If you are just gingerly adding pressure, you get that feeling of loss of power since the trans is trying to save you gas by staying in higher gear. The drive by wire throttle is not as sensitive to gradual increases in pedal pressure. You need to "move" the pedal to get the sensor to send data. These trannies have a learn mode that tries to perceive your driving style and sets after a while. When the dealer reset it, it changed the way it was trying to work with your driving style.
Try driving it a little more aggressively with your pedal inputs and see if you notice any differences. You gotta be careful not to get way deep in the pedal as it will downshift two or more gears and take you to 5000 RPM till you back way off.
The reason I ask about the tire size is because you say it happens around 1500-1600 RPM. Mine rarely cruises at that RPM...more like 1800-1900, which is more in the torque sweet spot. it seems like your cruise RPM is too low to give you good drivability with the TC and trans in general trying to stay in "coast" or "decel" with the fuel cutoff turning on and off.
Another thing... I am pretty sure Tow/Haul mode does not preclude TC lockup. It may delay in a few hundred RPM but If the TC does not lock at some point you will start to over heat the fluid. It does raise/delay shift points and either delays or turns off O/D.
Do this...drive for a few days with the tow/haul on and see if there is any difference in your problem. You will have to hit the button at each engine start.
When I am late to something and have to expedite my progress through the sea of idiots on the road, I activate the T/H and it allows me to accelerate more aggressively and take advantage of fleeting gaps in traffic.
Tire size is the same that came on the Liberty, the issue of the bucking feelling used to happen at 1800-1900 RPM's until they reset back to factory settings now it does it at the 1500-1600 RPM...I understand what your saying completely, however the vehicle did not run like this until a few months ago, if it was due to the Eco mode or the way it is set up due to trying to be more efficient I would assume it would have done this from day 1? I do get the feeling of loss of power on a hill, however the feeling on at the constant speed is more like a bucking feeling which happens at all different speeds and RPM's
well let us know what you find out from your claim. my kk does the exact same thing you are describing. i googled it when i first got it (used) and everything i could find said it was normal. annoying but normal.
I will let you know, I have an apt at the Garage Friday and another on Monday for testing they are doing on it...I just find it so hard to believe that this is normal and that people are actually driving around in Libertys and not complaining and that people actually like their Libertys if this is the way they drive. :( Ive asked the dealership if I can test drive another 2012 Liberty but they don't have one on the lot, going to a different dealership o Monday I am hoping they have one that I can drive so I can see if it feels the same as mine.
See if there are any TSB for the Liberty. I had a similar issue on my Patriot and a free TSB at the dealer fixed the issue.
I had that problem on my 2011 Liberty, then the engine light came on, took it to the dealer and they said there was an update on the firmware in the computer, they flashed the firmware and the problem went away. The problem happened at around 2500 miles today we have 30K on the Jeep and haven't had a problem with it.
The dealership has stated that there isn't any updates that need to be done, no bulletins, and no fault codes..
hey dude any updates to your issue?
Took my Liberty to another dealership, took the manager for a ride, he instanlty said its the Torque Converter. Manager contacted his rep for the Warranty was given the ok and ordered the part. It goes in on Monday to be replaced. Jeep also called me direct from Detroit and we are awaiting the result to see if this solves the problem.
Recvd Liberty back from dealership, still having the same issue, taking it back to dealership but cant get it in until next week. To the others that said their Liberties do this, do you really have a chugging feeling anytime you try to travel at a constant speed? At this point I would really just love to trade it and be done with it however I bought it brand new a year ago so that's not going to work...very frustrated with this Jeep.

Could anyone recommend ways to reduce your insurance, best to go with alarms or something else, as i am sure there has been lots of new products come on the market since i was last riding.
I am looking at getting a 600, either a GSXR or ZX6R.
If an alarm is the best option which would be best, or is there a better option, emobiliser ? what kind of things should i be looking for. Are there better options, best makes.
Anything to get the costs down would be good.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Some places seem resonant in a way that is difficult to rationalise. My paintings are usually inspired by real objects and locations that serve as a jumping-off point to explore whatever concerns seem pertinent at the time. I work up a painting or drawing through a process of distillation, starting with photographs and sketches, eventually arriving at a finished image. The resulting works are often completely synthetic, combining multiple vantage points, or even aspects of different locations, to achieve the desired effect.
Harbinger is part of an ongoing exploration of our general disconnect from both the wellspring of our collective folklore and the natural world. The wren in the painting is a messenger or emissary, reminding us of a larger context beyond our everyday, urban concerns.

Jay Sean, who recently released "Neon," his second album with Cash Money Records, said he intentionally made a departure from his usual cool guy image for his video "Where You Are." He wanted to show his sense of humor.
"Mr. Sunglasses is not going to cut it," he said when describing writing the video concept that included someone taking his cab, having ketchup and coffee spilled on his white clothes and being denied entrance into a club. He wanted the video to live up to the upbeat energy of the song.
He also discussed signing the group of comedy pranksters the Janoskians and explained why he keeps a positive outlook on his work.

Jeb Bush turned out to be such a bad investment for bankers at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. that the hundreds of thousands of dollars they threw at him has become a company joke.
At least one senior person at the firm likes to remind his colleagues that their donations to his White House race haven't worked out so well.
Following that misfire, along with a beating the Wall Street bank has taken from both sides in this year's presidential race, contributions from employees of one of the most politically connected companies in the U.S. have plummeted. After donating almost $900,000 in the first half of 2015 to four favorite candidates and their fundraising committees, the firm's bankers gave about $243,000 in the second half, Federal Election Commission filings released Sunday show.
Marco Rubio took over from Bush as the preferred candidate of Goldman Sachs donors, who gave the Florida senator about $118,000 in the second half of 2015, almost twice what he got in the first six months. Even so, the sum wasn't close to the more than $700,000 that bankers at the firm gave Bush and his fundraising groups in the first half of the year. Their contributions plunged in the second half to about $47,000.

Stupid MA / Boston Question
So I'm listening to a Spenser novel (newest one - not by Parker) on the way to work. In this, Hawk and Spenser bust into a house and in a complicated (but incredibly stupid gun usage), Hawk shoots a BG with a pump Mossberg.
The cops don't immediately arrest him. My question, what is the local law on driving around town and walking into a house (not yours) with a loaded pump shotgun under your coat.
It would be OK in TX but MA/Boston? Yes, I could look it up but lazy.
BTW, the book is feh. Spenser's time has come and gone. He still chortles about carrying a Chief's Special, listening to Jazz and drinking single malt. Such a detective cliche - boring. Get a new gun for God's sake.
Not that the 38 isn't a good gun. I got 'em but if I was going to face danger (as part of my job) - I'd do better than that.

Laws mean nothing to Hawk- never have.
Spenser also carries a Browning HP sometimes IIRC.
I was unaware until now of Atkins picking this up. Interesting. Spenser was a unique personality and I don't know if anyone else can truly "do" him other than the creator.

Seems to be set in the now. At least they are using cell phones.
There are two gun fights - in each Spenser acts like a complete idiot.
Don't buy it - if you are someone who like to follow series (like me) - the public library is your friend.
Spenser does have a SW 40 as he calls it - which he uses when the cops take his 357 away.
Hawk carries a 44 magnum which clearly hinders rapid follow up shots in a multiple attacker gun fight.
At the end, Spenser babbles about how baseball has the rhythm of smooth jazz. Get a life, grandpa.

Spenser with a .357? Odd... in Parker's books, he carried a .38 Chief's Special, and sometimes a BHP 9mm. In the last book or two, he had acquired the S&W .40 (model undesignated). I don't recall him ever using a .357.
Hawk started out in the series as a gang enforcer, who happens to be a friend of Spenser's from their time fighting the good fight in Biafra (which would make them both somewhere around 65 years old, but who's counting?). Hawk often does things that aren't legal in the books. He normally carries a .44 magnum or a shotgun. Note that Hawk is supposed to be a large, former pro heavyweight fighter, so conceivably his follow-up capability with the .44 should be better than average. (Still not the weapon I'd have picked, but hey...)
Interestingly, in the book where Spenser comes closest to death, he's shot from ambush by an assassin who uses a silenced .22 pistol.
Spenser makes baseball and/or jazz references in several, if not most books. If that comes as a surprise, Glenn, my guess is this was your first Spenser book.
The earlier books in the series were the better reads.
Edit: Note, Glenn, that in at least one of the stories, when trouble is actively expected, Susan gives Spenser grief about carrying the 5-shot .38, and suggests the BHP would be a better idea.
Spenser likes the .38 because it's comfortable to carry.
Reminds me of any number of threads on "how much is enough?"

MA wasn't always stupid. I got a pistol licence in MA when I was 20 maybe 21. The license was good for any handgun, no restrictions on where to carry, etc. That was before the current oppressive laws. Fortunately my military career didn't station me in MA. I only went back there to visit my parents when they were alive.

Spenser gets shot in this one through his own quip filled genius tactics.
Susan should have bought him a Glock 27 with an extended mag for his belt. However, MA probably wouldn't allow that evil weapon.
I know so many old toots like me who shoot state of the art guns, that I can't take a tough guy going so retro, esp. in a dangerous business.
Hawk would be in jail in this book and in fact, Spenser would be too. Their first shooting was definitely not justified as it started with an armed home invasion by them.
I guess I'm done with Spenser jumped the shark for me.

Pure Fiction
I used to live there and the scenario in the book is pure fiction. In 1991 I had a LEGALLY owned Ruger 10/22 which was stolen from my property. As a good citizen I reported the theft to the Boston PD. I was advised by the PD that the DA's office would be notified of the theft and determine if I was negligent and subject to possible prosecution. As it turned out the DA did not find cause to prosecute me for having a .22 caliber rifle stolen from my property by an unknown subject(s). So as the victim of the crime, I could have been punished on a judicial whim. The system is stacked against gun owners and self-defense as a principle. Massachusetts at the time had a ridiculous "RETREAT" law, which required potential crime victims to retreat even if you were threatened in your home.

'American Idol' Reacts to Kelly Clarkson Mentoring on 'The Voice'

Kelly Clarkson Sales Surge Following Ron Paul Endorsement
While Kelly Clarkson's eyes had "been opened to so much hate" this week, they've also been opened up to a lot of love — on the charts.
Clarkson's Twitter came under fire after she vocalized her support for Republican candidate (and fellow Texan) Ron Paul in the 2012 presidential race. However, it looks like Clarkson — and her wallet — are getting the last laugh. Amazon.com sales of her latest record, 'Stronger,' have tripled since the controversy broke.

Josephine May (Jo) Armstrong, 88, of Cheyenne died July 9th at Life Care Center of Cheyenne. She was born April 6, 1924, in Laramie to George Frank Struble and Madge Irene (Summers) Struble, and had lived in Cheyenne since 1994, with prior residence in Sheridan and Laramie. Jo graduated from Laramie High School in 1941. She married Warren Junior Armstrong on October 21, 1945, in Laramie. She was first and foremost a devoted and loving wife and mother. She was an active 4H leader for several years in Sheridan, where she also taught Sunday School at the Methodist Church. After her nest emptied, she worked at the Sheridan Senior Center. She enjoyed fishing, teddy bears and crossword puzzles. But her love for those activities was secondary to her love for family. She was preceded in death by her husband of nearly 65 years (who died July 5, 2010), and by her parents and all three of her siblings. She is survived by her children, Wesley (Sherri) Armstrong of North Carolina, Warren John Armstrong of Sheridan, Thomas (Cindy) Armstrong of Cheyenne and Sylvia (Rick) Moore of Montana; her grandchildren, Vicki Poole, Teri Maples, Bobby Armstrong, Josh Armstrong, Gabe Armstrong, Betsey Romulus, Nicole Armstrong-Gurulé, Jeremy Armstrong, Kara Smith, Jennifer Ingersoll, Briana Dunn and Jessie Moore; and numerous great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. Cremation has taken place at Cheyenne Memorial Gardens under the direction of Wiederspahn-Radomsky Chapel of the Chimes. In honor of Jo's request, there will be no services. Remembrances in Jo's name may be made to Life Care Center of Cheyenne, Pointe Frontier Retirement in Cheyenne, or Sheridan Senior Center.

What do lucrative investors look for when deciding to fund a clean tech start-up? Two prominent clean tech investors shared important insight on this topic on a panel stage at yesterday's TechCrunch Disrupt conference in San Francisco.
Vinod Khosla, one of the world's leading clean tech investors (of Khosla Ventures), was joined by General Electric's Kevin Skillern, who heads up GE's venture capital investments in clean energy. Both shared their secrets for success in clean tech investing.
1- Look for "truly disruptive businesses" that solve the world's problems over firms with products that merely have "nice features." Both Khosla and Skillern agree that clean tech that has the potential to dramatically improve living conditions should be favored over those technologies that offer incremental benefits.
2-Be prepared to help companies find the most compelling business case for the technology they bring to the table. Khosla believes in playing an active role in helping entrepreneurs incubate their best ideas for the marketplace. For example, Khosla worked with Amyris (a maker of non-petroleum fuels and chemicals) to move from producing anti-malarial drugs with the company's biotechnology to producing jet fuels. The company recently raised $85 million through an IPO and is now worth far more than the $15 million investment Khosla initially put down.
3-Investments in energy efficiency technology is just as important as clean tech built on a new platform. Skillern mentioned to TechCrunch that GE is putting forth an equal amount of energy towards improving legacy energy systems as it is towards commercializing new technology. This is especially important for GE, since GE equipment produces 1/3 of the globe's energy. The majority of this equipment will be in use for more than a decade into the future.
4- Choose to invest in technologies that have the potential for radical self-reliance. Khosla believes that it is imperative to choose companies that are not dependent on government subsidies over time. He says, "I don't invest in anything that can't achieve market competitiveness in five years. You should be able to achieve the price for a good that will sell in India or China without a subsidy in that time."
As a point for discussion for 3p readers, I ask: What criteria do you think are most important for clean tech investment decisions? What are your experiences investing in clean tech?

Saying "Hello!"
Hello, everyone; my name is Bonnie and, while not exactly a tea newbie, I've recently gotten a lot more serious about tea. SO glad I found Steepster! I've already learned so much from the discussions; for instance, I never knew there were so many online tea companies. I may never have to shop at Teavana again (unless, of course, I find myself at the mall…). Am eagerly awaiting samples from Teavivre, Teajo Teas and Della Terra — all such nice people to deal with. (I couldn't resist ordering several Try Me packs from Della Terra!) Now I just need to get my Cupboard in order and my Tasting Log started. I hope to join in on the discussions, although I'm rather intimidated by all of the tea knowledge I see here. Fortunately, feelings of intimidation have never stopped me from making a fool of myself before, so they most probably won't hold me back now…
Don't be intimidated!
Everything I know about tea came from here! :)
Also check out Den's tea 3.00 sampler! You get a 3.00 coupon on your first order as well so if you do order the sampler is free. Its a nice sampler too with GREAT teas!
Verdant Tea also now has samplers – check them out on here – they are AMAZING teas and a great company.
There are so many really to try lol – its hard to decide where to go.
I love Della Terra so good choice there too!
Teavivre is another great one!
Sounds like you are well on your way!
Teajo and I am new acquaintances but so far enjoying them very much.
Anyway – again welcome to Steepster! :)
Woo hoo! Welcome! You are off to a great start with those samples. You are sure to find some tea love!
Welcome, Bonnie.
I'm sure you'll have a lot fun in steepster.
I'll be following your reviews.
Hi and welcome. Don't worry … I've blazed a trail for you. I regularly make a fool of myself with goofy comments ;) You're in good company!
Welcome Bonnie! :D
Hope you feel right at home ^^
Hey Bonnie, glad you're here! I love this place!
Welcome to Steepster! :) I have no doubt that you'll fit right in. The site is about having fun, learning more about tea and connecting with other tea lovers. They're definitely great company!
Welcome Bonnie. I'm fairly new to Steepster also. It's very friendly and alot of fun. My reviews are much more basic than many of the regulars, but I get the impression that people don't mind and they welcome anyone who wants to be involved, as long as they're respectful. I've also learned a lot. I discovered (and ordered from) Teavivre, Verdant, 52teas, and Red Leaf so far.

PwC Legal promotes itself as a specialist in property law, local government and planning issues and government/private enterprise joint ventures on major land developments.
Mr Brogden said he asked for advice from one of the clerks of the Parliament and had been assured that as the payments were made to the family shelf company, his declarations satisfied Parliament's technical requirements.
"All I am required to do is declare the income from where the income is from, and the income is from Northmist," he said. "Northmist and PwC Legal have the relationship. [My wife] Lucy and I are directors of Northmist. We receive disbursement of shares at the end of the financial year. There was never a cheque from PwC Legal to John Brogden and there was never an invoice from John Brogden to either of those companies."
He was satisfied to the best of his knowledge that his pecuniary interest declarations were accurate and strenuously denied it could appear that he had obfuscated the origins of the consultancy fees.
"That is the reason I did it [amended the register], so nobody would think I was hiding ... I never denied it. I worked with a former Labor senator [Stephen Loosley is a lawyer with PwC Legal], it was common knowledge and I had always openly declared as to legal requirements."
But according to the Constitution (Disclosures by Members) Regulation 1983, sources of income declared by MPs must include a "description sufficient to identify the person from whom, or the circumstances in which, the income was, or is reasonably expected to be, received".
While the Opposition's planning spokesman, Mr Brogden asked questions in Parliament relating to development projects in which PwC Legal was involved:
On October 17, 2001, relating to the development of a former navy site at Zetland, bought by Landcom and known as Victoria Park. A partner in PwC Legal lists on the company website his experience "representing NSW Land and Housing Corporation in all aspects of its Victoria Park project".
On December 5, 2001, relating to the property developer St Hilliers, which had an interest in the Zetland site. PwC is St Hilliers' auditor.
The Opposition has pursued the Fisheries Minister, Eddie Obeid, after he was shown to have made 154 mistakes in his pecuniary interest declarations.
Last night, Mr Obeid apologised to the upper house. "I have no difficulty with apologising to the Legislative Council for these errors and I now apologise to the house.
"I appreciate the findings that the errors were not wilful contraventions of the regulations and that I had no conflict of interest."
Mr Brogden insisted his consultancy work with PwC Legal was "very minor" and it was "just general public affairs advice". He said he met clients on occasions but refused to detail who they were, arguing that was PwC Legal's business. "I made clear to them from the start that I wanted to avoid a conflict of interest. There was never a conflict between my role as an MP, a shadow minister and a consultant.
"Was I ever asked by PwC Legal to act on behalf of a client on a matter with respect to my role as an MP or a shadow minister? No, never."
In an unrelated development, Mr Brogden yesterday revealed that a forged invoice, purportedly from Northmist to PwC Legal, had been forwarded to police for investigation.

Cat— it's what's for dinner. At least it was what was planned for dinner for Buffalo, NY resident, Gary Korkuc. The 51 year old upstate New York man was tired of his cat Navarro's bad behavior; but instead of dropping the cat off at a shelter, Korkuc, being the resourceful man that he obviously is, thought it would be a better idea to slather the cat in oil, cover him in a mixture of spices, and then marinate Navarro in his cage in the trunk of his car. Talk about frugal gourmet.
Huffington Post: Buffalo police say officers heard the cat meowing when they stopped 51-year-old Gary Korkuc…They say they checked the trunk and found 4-year-old Navarro in a cage, his fur covered with oil, crushed red peppers and chili peppers.
Police stopped Korkuc to ticket him for running a stop sign Sunday night. Lucky for poor Navarro, who was likely to be Korkuc's next meal.
Gawker: Korkuc said he no longer wanted Navarro because the cat was "possessive, greedy and wasteful." He told police that Navarro was mean to him. The memo added, "Do not under any circumstances adopt to this man ever again." Yeah, that's probably a good idea. Navarro has already been adopted by a family, and his new name is Oliver.
Gary, if you're out there can you give me your recipe please?- I have a rat in the basement that I need to marinate as well…

Operations management Whitepapers
Organizations are more willing now than ever before to consider Cloud and SaaS ERP deployment models. As a growing company it is critical that you have a deployment model that best fits your requirements for cost, scalability and flexibility. In this whitepaper, we look at the increased willingness of organisations to consider the SaaS model for their ERP solutions; current ERP deployment statistics, and why SaaS may be attractive to smaller companies.
IT organisations must be able to quickly deliver and securely manage new business and IT services at fraction of the cost. This means that every IT organisation must reconsider how they approach IT operations and business service management. As a result, many IT organisations are looking to the cloud for its promised benefits of reducing total cost of ownership, requiring less technical skill set and very fast time to value.

This section explains how the product rule for derivatives [d(uv) = u dv +
v du] translates to integrals. We can rewrite the integral of a product as another
integral which is (hopefully) easier to integrate than the original. Integrating
the product rule gives:
and this gives us the rule for integration by parts.
|u dv = uv - v du
To use this formula, perform the following steps:
For a definite integral, the above formula becomes:
Problems 1-3 below use integration by parts to find integrals which have "extra
X's". If the X's were not there, we could have found the integral. In this case,
pick u = "extra x".
Problem 1:
Problem 2:
|7x sin 4x dx
| The 7 factors out. Let u = x, dv = sin 4x dx,
then du = 1 dx and v = sin 4x dx = -(1/4)cos 4x.
|7x sin 4x dx
|= 7 x sin 4x dx
|= 7 [u v - v du] = 7 [ x ((1/4)cos 4x) - ((1/4)cos 4x) dx]
|= 7 [(-1/4)x cos 4x + (1/4) cos 4x dx]
|= 7 [(-1/4)x cos 4x + (1/4) (1/4) cos 4x (4) dx]
|= 7 [(-1/4)x cos 4x + (1/16) sin 4x + ]
|= (-7/4) x cos 4x + (7/16) sin 4x + C
Problem 3:
|Rewrite using exponents
The problems below show how integration by parts can be used to integrate products where one function has an "algebraic" derivative.
Functions like ln x, x,
x, have "algebraic" derivatives.
Select u to be this kind of function.
Problem 4:
|x³ ln x dx
|let u = ln x, then dv = x³ dx
and we get du = (1/x) dx,
|(there should be a 1/4 in front of the integral on the 4th line from the bottom)
Problem 5:
| We have a formula for the derivative
of an Arctangent, not the integral.
|Let u = 3x,
then dv = dx (all that's left)
and du =
|= x 3x - (3/18) ln | 1+ 9x2 | + C
|= x 3x - (1/6) ln (1+ 9x2) + C3

FAA Could Restore Israel's Air Safety Rating This Year
Israel can restore its top ranking for flight safety, in line with the U.S. Federal Aviation Authority standards, by year's end, according to panel of experts headed by MK Yuval Steinitz.
The report, presented to Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu late last week, addresses primarily Israel's drop in the FAA's flight-safety ranking in late 2008 to that commonly reserved to developing countries.
Haaretz has learned the report recommends the incoming government "immediately" seek to improve airport safety so the U.S. will raise its ranking in 2009.
"The panel understood that according to the director of the Civil Aviation Authority Major General (res.) Giora Rom, allocating the necessary resources will make it possible for Israel to restore its rank to '1' in the U.S. [in terms of flight safety]," the report states.
Three immediate steps have been recommended: quick legislation with high priority for Law on Flight; additional budget allocations for the Civil Aviation Authority (about NIS 4-5 million); and approval for 10-15 more positions for supervisors at the CAA.
"The lowering of the air-safety ranking makes it difficult for Israeli airlines, which are prevented from adding more routes and undermines their ability to establish joint ventures with foreign airlines."
The panel expressed concern that if there is no change, "the European Union may undertake similar measures against Israeli aviation."
The report perceives the additional budget required [for the changes] as minimal, and the main necessary step as a government decision and legislation in the Knesset "to increase the independence and supervisory authority of the Civil Aviation Authority."
The report's authors are highly critical of what they describe to be "an unacceptable level of neglect," pointing out that "the steps that need to be undertaken could have been concluded two to three years ago."
The panel warns that not dealing with the issue of flight safety, which is primarily procedural in nature, will have negative effects on Israeli aviation in particular, and indirectly on tourism and the economy.
Meanwhile, State Comptroller Micha Lindenstrauss decided to accelerate the probe into air safety here in view of an increase in the frequency of serious accidents, a growing number of relevant complaints, and updated reports his office received from various sources in aviation safety.
Lindenstrauss is planning to issue soon the first report of its kind in Israel on civil aviation safety. He began his investigation in the summer of 2008, following the resignation of Amos Lapidot as chairman of a joint committee of the defense and transportation ministries on aviation safety, both civilian and military.
The former chief of the air force resigned to protest what he described as a failure of Transport Ministry in implementing recommendations or air safety.

It's not so often that central banks team up. This month, for the first time since 9/11, they did just that when the U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank (ECB), and three other major banks announced they would attempt to coordinate (Reuters) their responses to global credit concerns. The ECB and the Swiss National Bank said they would provide more loans in dollars (FT). The U.S. Fed, for its part, took a page from the playbook of several European central banks, setting up an auction facility (MarketWatch) through which banks can lend each other emergency funds. Commercial banks have expressed hesitancy about the process of taking short-term loans from the Fed's discount window—the place where such funds are ordinarily doled out—due to the public stigma and possible share price implications associated with taking a loan. The new scheme aims to better cloak the process, allowing banks that aren't at risk of collapsing—but need need short-term loans—to get them anonymously.
The news of the varying plans brought mixed reaction from economists. Martin Wolf writes in the Financial Times that "central banks must be pretty worried to take such a joint action." Wolf equates the plan to helicopters dropping cash from the skies, but adds that it could feasibly work out well—under very specific circumstances. Most significantly, he says, the money must be targeted specifically at boosting market morale by avoiding the bad press associated with borrowing. It should not be used to save insolvent banks. In a new interview, CFR's Roger M. Kubarych says that in theory the move is a "win-win situation" for banks. It's a confidence builder, he says, because it "dramatically reduces the risk" of actually having a run at a major bank—a crisis scenario that tends to spook markets, and which has already unfolded this year at one British bank (IHT).
So, after months of financial doom and gloom, is this finally an off-ramp for embattled banks? Probably not, experts say. Failing to find loans to satisfy intraday trading is only one way for a bank to fail. Other serious threats remain. Kubarych says banks are now far more concerned about their own balance sheets than the management of their reserves. Specifically, many banks fear they still have substantial holdings of bad debt, repackaged from shaky subprime loans that may yet implode. This fear now pervades the global banking system, not just U.S. banks. The majority of subprime loans may have originated in the United States, but the debt packages they were made into were bought up globally.
The widespread uncertainty this situation has caused in part undermines the original purpose of the Fed's auctioning plan—freeing up banks so that they, in turn, can give loans a little more freely. Until banks have a better idea what's on their own balance sheets, the Economist says, they will remain unlikely to go out on a limb with their lending. Yet the fact of other potential land mines doesn't mitigate the importance of stepping past the first. The hope is that the package could stave off the short-term lending crisis and allow banks to focus on their underlying finances. "But don't be fooled," the Economist piece concludes. "It is only a hope."

Use these tips to get the most out of your low intensity cardio
Goals: Conditioning, Fat Loss
Bodyparts: All
The reputation of steady-state cardio has taken a "HIIT" in recent years with the volumes of research affirming the fat-burning benefits of high-intensity cardio. Still, "some" cardio beats "none" and if you haven't yet jumped on the high-intensity interval bandwagon, here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your lower-intensity sessions.
Running on an empty stomach is great for fat loss. If you hit the bricks before breakfast, your body tends to start burning fat for fuel faster because your stored carbohydrate, which is your primary fuel source, is limited. But if you want to reduce the risk of losing your hard-earned muscle, don't go completely empty. Instead,
take in 5-10 grams of BCAA
s, which serve as fuel and aid in muscle preservation during exercise, about 30 minutes before training.
In general, cardio is the most tedious form of training known to man. So another good tip is to
take 200-400 grams of caffeine anhydrous
30 minutes before cardio. This wonder supp does everything you want it to do for your mindless runs including delaying time to fatigue, increasing mental clarity and blunting pain. This can help you push through an otherwise difficult bout on the treadmill with greater gusto, no matter when you're training.
A great time for low-intensity training is after weights. As with morning cardio, you are working on a glycogen (stored carbohydrate) deficit. This means that you'll tap into those stubborn fat stores sooner than you would if you were doing a cardio-only session.
Mix in 20-30 minutes after your heavy weight training to maximize the amount of fat you can burn in a single trip to the gym.
If you do your cardio in the gym (as opposed to outdoors), then choosing the right equipment is critical. The treadmill is great work for your entire body but at low intensities, you can do yourself a favor by trying different equipment. The cross-trainer, or "elliptical with handles," is a strong choice because it engages your upper body musculature during the workout, meaning that you get to mobilize fat from more areas of your body. With the right resistance, it also mimics high-rep pushes and pulls for your chest and back. The stepmill also provides some high-volume work for your glutes, quads and hamstrings, further adding to your leg training quota for the week. Also, varying the type of equipment you use will help to make your steady-state training more enjoyable.
