'Barcelona and Valencia to alternate from 2013'
9 March 2012 – F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone has explained that the current rounds in Barcelona and Valencia are set to alternate from next season, with the circuits close to agreeing biennial contracts. The long-term future of both venues had previously been in doubt, but Ecclestone has formed the idea after meetings with both parties.
Ecclestone added that the current agreement with Valencia has been respected, with the street circuit's 2012 event definitely remaining on the calendar.
"We talked about many things in the meeting I had with (Valencia Mayor) Rita Barbera, including football, but I was very happy when I confirmed that we would honor the contract we currently have. All is well and everything is paid. There is no doubt."
The Circuit de Catalunya, near Barcelona, has hosted the Spanish Grand Prix in its latest stint since 1991, while the Valencia Street Circuit joined the calendar in 2008.

The BC Wildlife Park is an active member of the Burrowing Owl Conservation Society of BC. Our goal is to achieve population increase, habitat improvement and public education ultimately leading to self supporting Burrowing owl populations in BC's grasslands. The program is a partnership that includes BC Wildlife Park staff, the Ministry of Environment (MOE), volunteers and landowners in the Kamloops Region.
Burrowing owls were extirpated from the British Columbia grasslands prior to 1980 (extirpated means extinct in one area, but can be found in another area of the world). The BC Wildlife Park's participation in the BC Burrowing Owl Recovery Program commenced in 1990 with the construction of the Burrowing Owl Captive Breeding Facility. Owls raised in our facility were released when they were about a year old. Release sites throughout the Thompson Okanagan region were carefully selected. About 100 young owls were released each year.
In 2002, a new Burrowing Owl Recovery Centre was constructed at the British Columbia Wildlife Park. The new facility is capable of producing over 100 juvenile owls for release each year. The design of the Burrowing Owl Recovery Centre was developed by staff at the British Columbia Wildlife Park. The facility and program is so successful that it has been copied by other facilities in North America.
In 2004, the BC Wildlife Park received an award of excellence from CAZA (Canada's Accredited Zoos and Aquariums) for our captive breeding program. Today, according to the National Burrowing Owl Team, the British Columbia Wildlife Park is a leader in captive breeding of Burrowing Owls for release and in fact, is the most successful breeder of Burrowing Owls in North America.
Since 1991, the British Columbia Wildlife Park has released well over 1500 owls.

Double-jeopardy, probation opinions filing Monday
The Supreme Court will file two criminal law opinions on Monday.
In People v. Carbajal, the court will decide whether retrial on sentencing allegations under the one strike law (Pen. Code, section 667.61) was barred by double jeopardy although the first jury never reached or resolved the issue.
People v. Leiva raises the issues: (1) Did the trial court have jurisdiction to revoke defendant's probation? (2) Did sufficient evidence support the trial court's finding that defendant either failed to report to his probation officer or reentered the country illegally? (3) Did the trial court's finding rely upon admissible evidence?
Both cases were argued in January. The opinions will be filed on the last possible day, exactly 90 days after argument.
The opinions can be viewed online beginning at 10:00 a.m. Monday morning.

No Header!
By DAVID WARGO
This Election Day is important as it will decide the course of our nation for the next four years, if not longer. Do you agree with President Barack Obama's agenda or do you believe it is time to change direction? That is what is at stake in this election, and I think we need to remove the distractions and focus on the real question. Is this America the one you want, or do you want the America of our forefathers and mothers?
The America we were raised to believe in as a melting pot and land of opportunity was one where charity came from the heart. It was a nation where we helped each other freely and not because a government entity took our money and decided how to dispense its form of charity for us. It was a country that supported differing points of view, not a country where those who proclaim to be tolerant are more intolerant than those who they claim offend them.
The America we were raised to believe in was one of equal opportunity, not equal wealth. Those in charge today want you to believe this country owes us equal wealth. That is a misrepresentation of our core values. We should strive to allow all Americans regardless of sex, age, race or orientation the equal opportunity to achieve their dreams and wealth, but nothing is guaranteed and we should know that, but for some reason this government of ours wants to punish those who work hard and discourage opportunity.
This is not the country I want. Obama and his apologists want you to believe the country is getting better. They say unemployment is down, but they don't tell you the reason it goes down is because they altered who they count as well as the only people on unemployment are those eligible. After the eligibility period ends, you are dumped until the next year begins and magically you disappear from their statistics. Don't let them fool you. There are over 23 million Americans out of work or underemployed meaning they are working jobs at far less than what they are trained to do.
Obama promised to cut the deficit by now. Instead it is increased. He hasn't balanced a budget in three years, one of which was given to a Democrat-controlled Congress. We have not had a spending plan for over three years. The National Debt has increased by $7 trillion and practically doubled in the last four years. Every American, including those not yet born, are responsible for paying six figures for their part of the national debt.
Obama promised to close Guantanamo Bay because he believed the camp was inhumane. It is still open because he found it was not that easy. He released terrorists who were later killed fighting against us. He claims to have killed Osama Bin Laden, but doesn't say it was due to his predecessor's methods of extracting information. Then he turns around and lets the informant who told us where to find our number one enemy get arrested for crimes against his country.
Seven weeks ago, Obama refused to admit a terrorist attack murdered our Libyan Ambassador Chris Stevens and his protectors. Four Americans are dead, one of whom is an ambassador, which in most cases is an act of war. They knew immediately it was an organized attack, but he lied for at least two weeks, claiming a movie trailer was responsible.
He has instructed a UN Small Arms Treaty be signed and his conspirators running the Senate have held it up to prevent the Senate from voting it down, which puts our country at the mercy of UN gun control. If this treaty is ratified, it compromises our freedom under the Second Amendment. If it is not voted down, it is treated like it is in effect.
He has allowed Attorney General Eric Holder to be protected using Executive Privilege in a questionable manner to avoid discussing his part in "Fast and Furious," which led to the murder of at least one border patrol agent. He appointed officials, violating procedure while Congress was in session.
These are just the major reasons each of us should consider for whom we are voting.
Obama's America is one of entitlement and stealing from Peter to pay Paul. It is one that requires money we don't have to pay for programs we can't afford. It is an America that wants every one of us so dependent on the government that we can't do anything without it. An America where everyone is equal in wealth. An America that is a communist country. The bottom lineis that what you want? I hope not. Get out and vote.


text: Hey folks, I have a 2010 A3 170 TDI BE and it appears to have some sort of vibration issue at higher speeds. The best way to explain it would be if I try to accelerate in 5th or 6th at 60mph+ it feels juddery and the car literally shakes - if I take my foot off the clutch / accelerator it does not judder anymore. Reading the forum it seems it could be anything from DMF, to Engine mount, to CV Joint, or wheel bearing! I would assume it is most likely the DMF though - as I noticed the car shakes a little at idle also. Any ideas?

Can We Please Stop Flattering Al Qaeda
The push by some Republicans to arrest Dzhokhar Tsarnaev as an "enemy combatant" based on some vague theory that he might be tangentially linked to Al Qaeda has made me want to address a larger point. Mainly, that it is pathetic that the United States is even "at war" with Al Qaeda.
The United States is a huge country. We are the strongest economic and military force on Earth. The United States is the most powerful entity in human history. To say we are "at war" with a small organization of ideologically driven radicals raises this group to a level of importance they simply don't deserve.
Over several decades Al Qaeda and all of its affiliates has managed to kill only a few thousand Americans with a dozen or so attacks. While tragic there are prescription drugs that have killed more Americans than Al Qaeda. Slippery showers are a bigger danger to your life.
This terrorist organization is a limited danger to public safety but they are not a threat to our survival, our government, our territorial borders, or our way of life. The only danger they posse to our way of life is if we overreact.
Al Qaeda is dangerous and should be a serious concern of the federal government, but to claim we are at war with it is absurd. They are simply too small and pathetic compared to the might of America that we should have never flatter them with such an unjustified importance. This small organization does not even deserve the honor of the United States being at war with it. It seems to raise them to an equal footing.
You don't defeat terrorism by telling everyone to be scared and exaggerating it into existential danger to the nation. You defeat it by showing you are not scared and how far beneath you this gang of criminals and murders try is.

State Sen. Leticia Van de Putte was in Dallas-Fort Worth on Thursday as part of her campaign bus tour through Texas, trying to generate support for her candidacy for lieutenant governor.
She'll need it in a state where Democrats haven't won statewide office in nearly a quarter century. She's the third Latina to run for that office, an election some political observers believe she is likely to lose.
Nevertheless, they also say she represents the future for the Democratic Party in Texas.
But first, voters will have to get to know her, and also know that she's Hispanic. Hence, one reason for her bus tour — to make a personal connection with voters, especially Latinos.
She joked about that in her visit to Dallas.
Most people don't know that her maiden name is San Miguel and both her grandmothers were immigrants, she said. And so she ended up with multiple last names.
But in Texas, with its long history of Tejano pride and culture, she sees her Hispanic heritage as an asset.
Unlike her Republican opponents, especially state Sen. Dan Patrick, who keeps talking about stopping the "invasion" from Mexico, Van de Putte said she will talk about issues Texans care about, such as water shortages and a quality education for their children.
"Both Wendy Davis and Leticia Van de Putte see Patrick's unrestrained tea party rhetoric as providing them an opening," said Cal Jillson, politics professor at Southern Methodist University.
"The whole Republican establishment is very aware that Texas could well become more competitive, politically," in the coming years, he said.
The shift in the state's demographics could turn the state from red to purple to blue by the end of the decade, if not sooner. Latinos are driving the shift and are projected to be a plurality — 43 percent — of the state's population by 2020.
When you consider that nearly 60 percent of Hispanic voters in Texas have friends or close family members who are immigrants, using a "close the border" approach is likely to turn off Latinos.
But even if Van de Putte loses, she will still benefit from this race, said Latino political analyst Andy Hernández.
"You have to look at her campaign as a kind of seeding the political terrain," Hernández said. "She's creating a whole generation of Latina political leadership. There will be a network of supporters already in place, waiting for her next run."
Latinas are especially excited about her candidacy, said Jodi Perry, one of the founders of the statewide PAC Latina List.
She said Hispanic women members of statewide organizations are organizing separately into a loose-knit group to support and raise funds for Van de Putte's run. The organizations include LULAC, Hispanic Women's Network of Texas, Las Comadres, National Hispanic Leadership Institute, Tejano Democrats and Latina List.
After Van de Putte finishes this bus tour, groups of women in different cities want her back for fundraisers, Perry said.
"The comadre network of women is all fired up."

Welcome to the Club Orange squeezing room, a place where large breasted, scantily-clad women squeeze oranges all day long.
Club Orange is an Irish soda famous for its "refreshing taste and 'bits.'" Those "bits" are presumably pulp, but this commercial has a lot of fun playing with the word... and showing lots of boobs.
The commercial goes "behind-the-scenes" of the company's squeezing facility and reveals a nirvana of sexy girls squeezing oranges and getting their "bits" on. Club Orange says they employ "the sexiest and most skilful orange squeezers" on the planet. The soda company also "reveals how each 'bit' is lovingly hand squeezed from some of the world's juiciest oranges by some of the universe's most dedicated fruit workers." They are definitely dedicated.

Many readers of Scripture have no concept of the evolution of faith contained in those writings. They simply presume the faith motivating the first chapters of Genesis is the same faith motivating the last chapters of Revelation. Nothing could be further from reality. Biblical faith constantly evolves the more we understand our experiences with God and God working in our lives.
In the beginning of the biblical period - tenth or eleventh century BCE - for instance, our sacred authors presumed Yahweh was simply one God among many gods. Only in the sixth century BCE, during the Babylonian Exile, do Jews begin to understand that Yahweh is the one and only God. In a parallel way, until about a hundred years before Jesus' birth, our inspired writers took for granted this life is the only life we'll ever experience. Everything began with our birth and ended with our death.
As a Pharisee, the historical Jesus was a believer in that new-fangled notion of an afterlife. He presumed those who formed a relationship with Yahweh in this life, would continue that relationship with Yahweh in a life beyond our physical deaths.
Not all Jews of Jesus' day and age accepted such a liberal theology, as we hear in today's gospel pericope. "Some Sadducees, those who deny there is a resurrection came forward . . . ." They present Jesus with what could only be called a "smutty" example of the impossibility of an afterlife: a woman involved in multiple marriages. "At the resurrection," they demand to know, "whose wife will she be?"
Jesus' major argument for the woman's seven husbands not being an insurmountable eternal life dilemma revolves around what we're going to experience in that eternal life. It's not going to be just a simple Groundhog's Day rerun of this life. Those who continue their relationship with God into the next life are going to find themselves in a whole new existence. Just as our outside the womb existence is dramatically different from our fetal existence, so heaven will be dramatically different from this earthly existence. The Sadducees arguments against eternity are based on a false concept of eternity.
Of course, none of us, except for being confident we'll have a relationship with God, is certain about what eternity holds for us. The seven brothers in our II Maccabees reading are confident they'll continue to live after their martyrdom but no one says anything about the form that life will take. They're simply relying on" ... the hope God gives of being raised up by him ...."
Perhaps that's why the author of II Thessalonians encourages his readers to do the only thing which will determine whether they'll be part of a heavenly afterlife, or be left out in the cold (or heat). "May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the endurance of Christ." After all, God". . . loves us ... and encourages (our) hearts and strengthens them in every good deed and word."
Most of us, like the writer's mentor Paul, or the seven brothers, or Jesus, aren't going to experience a martyr's death - the most certain way of getting into heaven. We're going to have to go through a natural lifetime of building relationships with God and those around us. And as anyone who works at building relationships knows, we're never certain where those relationships are ultimately going to take us. We simply have faith that not building relationships results in a hell of an existence, something which, no matter how many times we've been married, we'd like to avoid.

Privacy in a Free Country: In Search of Reasonable Principles
No. 243
Monday, April 30, 2001
by Solveig Singleton
Table of Contents
Cultural, legal and technological changes have created the perception of a privacy crisis. This is because people are sometimes puzzled about how the old rule favoring the free flow of information in the private sector (with privacy being the exception) will apply to new cases. It does not follow, however, that a real and dangerous privacy crisis exists. Most alleged harms are either speculative or vague. As a general rule, there is not, and never has been, any real problem with continuing to embrace people's ability to learn about other people.
"It is too easy for government to exempt itself from restrictions on its information gathering."
When it comes to privacy from government intrusion, new legal rules - unless adopted at the constitutional level - are in effect Band-Aids on a bleeding wound. It is simply too easy for government to exempt itself from restrictions on its information-gathering powers whenever those restrictions become inconvenient. Still, government is the one entity that wields enough unchecked power for us to be concerned about its access to information. And such concern is consistent with the U.S. Constitution's tradition of limited government.
In the area of privacy and consumer protection, the biggest challenge is to sort out technophobia from real harms like identity theft. Consumers do not need to be protected from coupons. They do need enforcement institutions that will recognize the harm of identity theft and facilitate real solutions for victims of fraud.
In the area of employment privacy, common sense should stem the tide to shut employers off from information they need to control costs and employee behavior. Wise employers will generally inform their employees about monitoring practices. But sometimes a secret monitoring system will be necessary so that employees bent on misconduct will not set out to deliberately defeat it. Too many restrictions on employers' access to information, and we'll be back in the era of the Good Ol' Boys.
Medical privacy is perhaps the most complicated area. Medicine is no longer a purely private-sector activity. Sometimes, familiar constitutional principles are relevant to analyzing medical privacy problems such as police access to medical records. For practices like marketing, it may be necessary for companies to take special measures to reassure the public that these uses will not harm them. But private-sector uses of data in medicine have potential public benefits, and medicine should not be constrained by a rigid model of privacy.
"Despite the perception of a privacy crisis, there is excitement in the air about the potential for enormous gains from new uses of information."
Despite the perception of a privacy crisis, there is excitement in the air about the potential for enormous gains in business and government administration and in consumer welfare and service from new uses of information. The changes wrought by information access and electronic databases are just beginning. After all, every single human action - the decisions to buy or not to buy, whose Web sites we visit, how much we spend, at what time of day - is something someone somewhere might learn something from. If more information on human behavior could be saved, business could grow faster; consumers could enjoy cheaper goods and services with less hassle; wrongdoers could be captured more quickly; and the vast economic losses that result from fraud, misunderstanding, confusion and poor planning could be slashed.
The good news about new information technology is that it is not the boogeyman. Human beings rarely make better decisions by having less information about themselves and their fellow human beings. The principle that freedom of information should only rarely give way to privacy concerns is as reliable today as it was formerly.
NOTE: Nothing written here should be construed as necessarily reflecting the views of the National Center for Policy Analysis or as an attempt to aid or hinder the passage of any bill before Congress.

Its perfect, good quality and really set my bathroom off to give it the wow factor and for such an amazing low price.
I do love this panel but it was hard to fit and the colour was more of a brown than grey .

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- With tears and a kiss, two women exchanged promises Saturday in a ''holy union'' ceremony blessed by more than 90 United Methodist ministers in a dramatic mass defiance of a church law against same-sex marriages.
''I promise to love you the rest of my life,'' a tearful Ellie Charlton, 63, told Jeanne Barnett, 68, a retired state unemployment administrator.
Behind them on the stage, the ministers lined up on risers and chanted a blessing that could cost them their jobs:
''O God, our maker, we gladly proclaim to the world that Jeanne and Ellie are loving partners together for life.''
''If anyone wants to file charges against us, this is what the charges are for, praying this prayer,'' said the Rev. Donald Fado, pastor of St. Mark's United Methodist Church in suburban Sacramento, the organizer of the ceremony that was part church service and part civil rights demonstration.
''In our church, unfortunately, I'm allowed to come into their home and bless their house, bless their car, bless their tractor and even bless their dog, but I am not allowed to bless them,'' Fado said.
More than 1,000 clergy, lay leaders, gay men, lesbians and other supporters filled the Sacramento Convention Center for the ceremony, which featured folk songs, dancing and poetry.
''I hope you can see there's a lot of love for us,'' Charlton said after the ceremony. ''The closet is dark and damp and unhealthy. I hope those of you who are in the closet can find a way to come out.''
Across the street, a dozen protesters waved neon-green signs that read ''Brides of Satan'' and ''Methodist Fag Church'' while three women sang, in formal hymn style, ''God hates fags.''
''Whatever they call it, it's an abomination and a blasphemy in the eyes of God,'' said the Rev. Fred Phelps of Topeka, Kan., who has led anti-gay pickets around the country.
The ceremony takes place in a state where voters next year will decide whether only marriages between a man and a woman are legal. The initiative, placed on the ballot by a Republican senator who could not get the Legislature to pass the same measure, is expected to generate an expensive and emotional fight.
The unprecedented service dramatizes the conflict that has been simmering for years within the United Methodist Church, with 8.5 million members America's second biggest Protestant body after the Southern Baptist Convention.
In 1996, the church's legislature, the General Conference, took a stand against clergy around the country who had been quietly performing same-sex couple blessings. It added these words to the Methodists' Book of Discipline: ''Ceremonies that celebrate homosexual unions shall not be conducted by our ministers and shall not be conducted in our churches.''
The next year, the Rev. Jimmy Creech performed a blessing for a lesbian couple in his Omaha, Neb., congregation. In March, a Methodist tribunal decided to take no action against Creech. The denomination's supreme court overturned that decision in August, finding Creech guilty and declaring the ban to be binding law.
Weeks later, the Rev. Gregory Dell of Chicago conducted his 33rd same-sex ceremony for two men in his congregation. Dell is likely to face a church trial within weeks and could be defrocked.
Eight days before charges were filed against Dell, Fado announced his desire to lead a public same-sex service as an ''act of ecclesiastical disobedience.'' Charlton and Barnett, two active members of St. Mark's, stepped forward.
''This is not about sexuality. This is about the authority of Scripture,'' said the Rev. John Sheppard II of the First United Methodist Church of Yuba City. He said the ceremony violates ''more than 2,000 years of Christian moral tradition.''

|Re: Question regarding the Pocket Hobbit
Subject: Re: Question regarding the Pocket Hobbit
by Findegil on 2012/2/18 15:00:26
Christopher Tolkien's preface in the "pocket edition" is a reprint of the text published in 2007, with a small change in pagination and the reproduction of Mirkwood. The 2007 text was revised and shortened, omitting the facsimile manuscript pages and the rest of the art printed earlier; presumably this was done because John Rateliff's History of The Hobbit was published that same year and included transcription from the earliest surviving manuscript as well as some comment on illustrations (for which one also could refer to our J.R.R. Tolkien: Artist and Illustrator).
Christopher's foreword (as it was first called) dates from the 50th anniversary Hobbit of 1987. It was revised and expanded in the deluxe edition of 2004, in which the manuscript facsimiles were printed in colour (they're in black and white in the 1987 edition). We reproduced Tolkien's illustrations in The Art of The Hobbit, but of the two pages of manuscript only the one with art on it (the early sketch of Thror's Map). John Rateliff also reproduced only the first of the two pages in his History.
A fuller comparison may be found in a new post on our blog.
The printing and binding of the "Pocket Hobbit" are perfectly good for an ordinary trade book, though of course the type (reduced from the standard edition) is somewhat small. Anyway, it doesn't include the full text of Christopher's foreword or the manuscript facsimiles.

Thursday Night TV
There's a ridiculous number of things to choose from on TV tonight. And I'm just talking about broadcast television! My head would spin if I started to think about the options between broadcast and cable...
There's a ridiculous number of things to choose from on TV tonight. And I'm just talking about broadcast television! My head would spin if I started to think about the options between broadcast and cable...
Though she put on an impeccable show Wednesday night, America ultimately decided they didn't want to see Haley Reinhart in the next week's finals.
The 20-year-old Wheeling, IL, native was booted from 'American Idol' late Thursday night, leaving Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina to battle it out for the season 10 crown.
This show makes me wish I could sing.
For the second week of battles, I think Christina Aguilera's duo impressed me the most, while Cee Lo Green's team duet was my least favorite to listen to last night on 'The Voice'.
Blake Shelton and Adam Levine both had very tough choices to make, but I think they chose the right team members to advance in the competition.
Check out all the videos below, and tell us - which team or singer was your favorite this week?
'American Idol' season 10 is officially down to the final three. Over 72 million votes were cast this week, making it the highest top-four vote ever in the history of the show.
Unfortunately, even record-breaking numbers weren't enough to save James Durbin. The 22-year-old rocker was sent packing Thursday night, marking yet another surprise in an already surprise-heavy season.
Did you catch the latest episode of the new NBC show, 'The Voice'?
If you didn't, here's a quick recap of the duets each team had to perform, and videos of each performance. Which one was your favorite?
Though negotiations reportedly went down to the wire, Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul stepped out in full force Sunday for the first round of 'X Factor' auditions in Los Angeles.
"This show would never have been the same without Paula and I can't believe I am saying this - I have missed her a lot, and I am thrilled she's on the show," Cowell said in a statement, confirming a deal with his former 'American Idol' cohort had been reached.
If you thought the judges on 'American Idol' were harsh, wait until you hear what production staffers allegedly did to an audience member on Thursday.
According to an exclusive report from Radar Online, 19-year-old fan Ashley Kauffman was booted from the front row because staffers told her she was "just too big, too heavy to be in front."
Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus were among the big winners at the 2011 Kids' Choice Awards, held Saturday night in Los Angeles.
Bieber took home two awards, for Favorite Song ('Baby') and Favorite Male Singer, while Cyrus was awarded Favorite Movie Actress.
Other winners included Katy Perry, for Favorite Female Singer, and the Black Eyed Peas, for Favorite Movie Group.
'Dancing With the Stars' season 12 premiered last night, and while it lacked the headline power of Kate Gosselin and Bristol Palin, there were plenty of memorable moments that will have everyone talking at the post-show watercooler. Here are the four that stood out the most:
Teen superstar Miley Cyrus hosted Saturday Night Live on March 5th, and personally, she wasn't my favorite host.
I wasn't a fan of her opening monologue (she sang a song called 'Sorry I'm not perfect'), but I did enjoy the first skit of the night called "Duh! Winning!' making fun of Charlie Sheen, as well as a video of Apl.De.App and Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas hosting their own talk show.
Check out some of the clips below.
Are you a huge Jersey Shore fan? Do you consider yourself a Guido/Guidette expert?
According to MTV, a new Jersey Shore trivia board game will be hitting stores sometime in March, with a variety of questions from the first and second season.
This is another reason why I love Glee! Go Anne!

My name's Sarah and I'm a senior in high school this year. I'm going through a really rough time in my life due to choices I have to make. I'm asking for prayers in trusting what I feel that God is telling me to do, especially in breaking up with my boyfriend. We won't be in the same state for college, and I know that I can't do distance for four years. I brought him closer to the Lord by bringing him to church and by praying with him, and I don't want him to lose that. Please pray for us both to trust in God and know that if it is His will, we'll be together again in the future.
Thank you very much and God bless :)

This is the first time our two projects have coordinated on joint security releases.
WordPress 3.9.2 also contains other security changes:
- Fixes a possible but unlikely code execution when processing widgets (WordPress is not affected by default), discovered by Alex Concha of the WordPress security team.
- Prevents information disclosure via XML entity attacks in the external GetID3 library, reported by Ivan Novikov of ONSec.
- Adds protections against brute attacks against CSRF tokens, reported by David Tomaschik of the Google Security Team.
- Contains some additional security hardening, like preventing cross-site scripting that could be triggered only by administrators.
We appreciated responsible disclosure of these issues directly to our security team. For more information, see the release notes or consult the list of changes.

This post is part of a monthly series summarizing some stats and figures from the Akismet universe. Feel free to browse all of the posts in the series.
In July, Akismet saw 5,608,437,500 pieces of spam come through. If each piece of spam were a book, there would be enough books to fill 156 Libraries of Congress (the largest library in the world).
There was a small increase in spam numbers since June – about 5%, but a 71% increase from last year in July. That's about the same yearly increase as the one was saw in last month.
We also saw 310,275,000 legitimate comments made, which makes up only 5% of the total comments we see going around. If each real comment were a book, there would enough to fill only 8 Libraries of Congress (still not bad!).
Our busiest day was July 8 with about 240 million pieces of spam, and our slowest day was 6 with 133 million comments. Not a big range.
Overall, we missed only about 0.0206% of all spam comments this month. Although there weren't any big fluctuations in our missed spam numbers this month, your missed spam numbers may be different. If you're seeing more missed spam than usual come through, please do contact us and we'll be happy to help 🙂.
Here's how much spam and ham came through each day of the month:
This month we did not have any service interruptions. You are welcome to follow us on Twitter or this blog for updates on that.
Here are some interesting articles on spam from around the web we liked this month:
When it comes right down to it, that's what we all want to do right?
Revenue, income, cash or money, doesn't matter what you call it, all comes from a sale of some sort. Our Job is to turn as many conversations as we can into cash.
The frantic pace of communication today make the "art" of persuasion even more valuable.
No one has the time to be sold, we like to buy what we want, when we want and for as little as possible.
Where does that leave you the entrepreneur, independent professional or small business owner?

Most sites will get a useless 404 error page. But if you try the link above on this site you'll won't see an ugly 404 page, try it it you don't believe me.

Most people work from some sort of to-do or task list. Whether it's on paper, in a calendar, evernote, onenote or any name you can come up with. I was looking at my to-do list this morning and after talking to 2 clients I had phone consultations with I was reminded of a simple idea that Bob Proctor taught me many years ago.
He said to be successful as a sales professional you only had to do 1 thing.
Be out of the office in front of a customer by 8 AM every morning.
Have an appointment every morning scheduled for 8 AM.
I was thinking about this after looking through the tasks I had assigned myself this morning and asking myself of the tasks I had listed on my to-do list which ones were ones that I CAN do and which ones were tasks that I SHOULD do?
Whether it's your business or your WordPress Blog.. there are tasks that you probably CAN do bust the more important question is are they tasks that you SHOULD be doing?
My Mom never told me about this and that's why it's the topic for today's Secret. Listen now…
It's a mistake I've made more than once!
… which is really sad when you think about it. By now you'd think I'd have my message straight. A single concise offer to a starving crowd who would love to whip out their wallets and give me everything they had in it.
I think about marketing too much. Always trying to find the latest and greatest tool and tactic to move my business to the next level. As a result the "BFC" that I make is often muddled or changes depending on whom I'm talking too.
An easy way to tell is by the number of Social Media handles I/You have and each of the associated profiles.
My Mom never told me about this and that's why it's the topic for today's Secret. Listen now…
I really have too many…
Part of the reason I've been working on consolidating my business activities stems from the number of handles I found myself having to manage.. Social media nicknames and handles give you a good ideas of how focused your business is.
I had too many handles.
At the time they seemed like the right thing to do. I had different sites for different services and products. In the end they are too scattered. so here's the new twitter handle

What impact will Facebook's new accessibility team have? [1]
- Date: 26 Sep 2012
It's hard not to want to cheer out aloud at the introduction of the new accessibility team at Facebook while muttering "finally" under your breath.
With more than 500 million monthly users [Business Insider [2]], you have to wonder why it has taken so long for Facebook to make a real investment in accessibility.
The new accessibility team consists of four members:
- Jeff Wieland, project manager
- Stefan Parker, web engineering
- Clint Hall, mobile engineer
- Ramya Sethuraman, assistive technology specialist
A Facebook note entitled Designing for Accessibility: Q&A with Jeff Wieland [3] was published on the Facebook Design page [4] yesterday. In the note, Wieland introduces the newly-formed accessibility team and discusses some of the recent improvements they have made.
While this is obviously not a comprehensive report, it gives us an idea of what the accessibility team are trying to achieve and how they are trying to achieve it.
However, some of the information outlined in the note rings quiet alarm bells in my mind.
Wieland states that Ramya Sethuraman, assistive technology specialist will be responsible for reviewing Facebook using assistive technologies and will "uncover any challenges".
There is a vast difference between the user experience and challenges faced by a native screen reader user compared with someone who doesn't use a screen reader day-to-day and also has familiarity with the interface.
Having someone test with different assistive technologies is a really great way to identify problems but there is no replacement for usability testing performed with real assistive technology users.
What I'd love to see is a commitment not only to fixing accessibility issues and listening to ad-hoc feedback from users, but to also look at the user experience of the Facebook interface itself for people with a disability. I know, baby steps, but it is good to dream large sometimes.
In March 2012, Media Access Australia released Sociability: social media for people with a disability [5] which reviewed the accessibility of social media websites include Facebook, and provided tips and tricks on how to overcome the inaccessible features of each social network.
According to the report, the accessibility issues most likely to affect people with a disability include:
- CAPTCHAs during the sign-up process
- missing text alternatives
- lack of support for closed captions on video uploaded to Facebook
CAPTCHAs, which often provides a poor user experience for everyone, have been removed from the sign-up process which is definitely a step in the right direction.
The lack of text alternatives however, still appears to be an issue.
Although a user's avatar within the news feed has empty alt text, testing with the latest versions of NVDA [6] and JAWS 12 [7] both result in the URL for the image being read out by the screen reader. Clearly something isn't working as it should because screen readers should ignore images without text in the alt attribute.
I also have to wonder about the rationale behind using image captions as alt text. In the note, Wieland explains that if a Facebook photo has a caption, the caption will be used as alt text for the screen reader to read aloud. In my view, all that this will result in, is the screen reader user hearing the caption twice — first when the alt text is read out and again when the caption is read out. Not an ideal user experience.
We often get caught up focusing on the issues for people with vision impairment and forget about the needs of the Deaf and hearing impaired. Currently, you cannot provide closed captions for videos uploaded to Facebook. This current lack of support for closed captions on Facebook means that people who are Deaf and hearing impaired are being excluded from watching any online videos using Facebook. Support for closed captions on social media platforms like Facebook is becoming increasingly important as web series produced exclusively for online media become more prevalent among big entertainment companies.
Although a dedicated accessibility team at Facebook has been a long time coming, it is definitely something to be welcomed. Raising awareness of accessibility within Facebook, providing support to the Facebook development team and ultimately improving the accessibility of Facebook are all positive steps. Yet from what we can gleam from the Q&A with Jeff Wieland, the process for accessibility improvements seems ad-hoc and possibly doesn't put the users needs front and centre.
Time will tell.

By Lavern Nissley, Tuesday@10:10 blog post
Ronda and I have intersected with hundreds of married couples over the past 25 years. We've noticed the following:
Does it prevent all conflicts and disagreements? No. We're still human and prone to selfishness. The point of the RINGS Chat is NOT to sprinkle magical fairy dust over ourselves and have a "lived happily ever after" relationship. But the RINGS Chat, over time, does build closeness and intimacy. Isn't that worth 10-15 minutes a day?
If you have been through The RINGS Experience, you already know the basic layout of the RINGS Chat; if not, then we would love to have you take a peek at it in the video demo at right. Then try it out yourselves.
For RINGS Experience alumni, we invite you to weigh in on social media about your own journey with the RINGS Chat. Let us know how it has worked for you, what adaptations you've made and any encouragement to "newbies".
Disclaimer: Not all couples will benefit from the RINGS Chat. Where the 3 A's exist (abuse, affairs, addictions), professional resources like counseling/intervention should be sought.

Runway Report: Kenzo Fall 2013 Men's Collection Takes Fighting Men To The Jungle
Photos: Vittorio Sunino Celotto
In the words of Destiny's Child, "we need a soldier" and Kenzo is delivering us a few with its Fall 2013 menswear collection. Well, not exactly, but the collection is set for fighting men. Who else would wear bullet proof backpacks, button coverings and metal pocket squares? Though the fashion label is known for its outrageous prints and patterns, it did not fill this collection with prints and patterns. It features striped trousers, its own version of camouflage and the signature tiger sweatshirt. But those weren't the only goodies it offers. Pieces like the round-shoulder, boxy jackets and sweatshirts, tapered trousers, metallic bronze suit and light blue shearling pullover are what make this collection more than great.

Title I: Small Business Lawsuit Abuse Protection
Title II: Product Seller Fair Treatment
Small Business Liability Reform Act of 1999 - Title I: Small Business Lawsuit Abuse Protection - Allows punitive damages to be awarded against a small business only if the claimant establishes by clear and convincing evidence that conduct carried out by the defendant through willful misconduct or with a conscious, flagrant indifference to the rights or safety of others was the proximate cause of the harm that is the subject of the action. Limits such punitive damages to the lesser of two times the amount awarded for economic and noneconomic losses, or $250,000.
(Sec. 104) States that, in any civil action against a small business: (1) each defendant shall be liable only for the amount of noneconomic loss allocated to that defendant in direct proportion to the percentage of responsibility of that defendant for the harm caused to the plaintiff; and (2) the court shall render a separate judgment against each defendant describing such percentage of responsibility.
(Sec. 105) Excepts from such liability limitations any misconduct of a defendant: (1) that constitutes a crime of violence, international terrorism, or a hate crime; (2) that results in liability for damages under specified provisions of the Oil Pollution Control Act of 1990 or the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980; (3) that involves a sexual offense or violation of a Federal or State civil rights law; or (4) caused by being under the influence of intoxicating alcohol or a drug.
(Sec. 106) Preempts inconsistent State law.
Title II: Product Seller Fair Treatment - States that this title governs any product liability action brought in any Federal or State court. Excludes from this title actions for commercial loss, negligent entrustment, negligence per se concerning firearms and ammunition, and actions brought under a dram-shop or third-party liability arising out of the sale or provision of alcohol to an intoxicated person or a minor.
(Sec. 204) Mandates that, in any product liability action covered by this Act, a product seller other than a manufacturer shall be liable to a claimant only if such claimant establishes that: (1) the product that caused the harm was sold, rented, or leased by the seller, the seller failed to exercise reasonable care with respect to the product, and such failure was the proximate cause of harm to the plaintiff; (2) the seller made an express warranty applicable to such product, the product failed to conform to the warranty, and such failure caused the harm to the plaintiff; or (3) the product seller engaged in intentional wrongdoing (as determined under applicable State law), and such wrongdoing caused the harm to the plaintiff. States that a seller shall not be considered to have failed to exercise reasonable care with respect to a product based upon a failure to inspect if: (1) there was no reasonable opportunity to inspect; or (2) such inspection would not have revealed the aspect of the product that allegedly caused the claimant's harm. Allows a seller to be liable as a manufacturer if: (1) the manufacturer is not subject to appropriate service of process; or (2) the court determines that the claimant is or would be unable to enforce a judgment against the manufacturer. Provides limited liability for persons engaged in the business of renting or leasing a product.

Written on: 02/11/2012
We visited on a Thursday evening and found that although there were a few people drinking, not many were eating. The decor is similar to the sister pub in Old Clipstone and the menu is identical.
My friend & I both ordered the steak and ale pie with homemade chips, as it is a favourite of ours at the Dog and Duck. What a disappointment it was!
it arrived less than 5 minutes after ordering. My pie was crusty to one side of the wedge, as if it had been cut for hours. It was barely warm but it was obvious that it had been microwaved as the pastry, which is normally lovely, was soggy and floppy. We didn't get chips at all. Instead we had halves and wedges of cooked potato that had been briefly dipped in the fryer. They were horrid!
We should have complained but didn't - if they can't tell when bringing out such substandard meals that there is a problem, then complaining won't achieve anything. It wasn't even like they were busy. However, neither of us will be back. £9 for cold pie and leftover potatoes is not good value for money.
A case of more style than substance.

text: It can be a challenge to fit everything an effects junky needs on a small board. lets see how well people have done with only a PT jr or same size equivalent board. I have recently sold off my PT Pro with hard case and about 2/3's of my pedals to fund a new Jazz bass and Shuttle head. I have ordered a PT jr and should have it this week. I cut out a piece of paper the same size and have been messing with my remaining pedals to try and make them fit. I will be posting photos as soon as the board arrives and I figure out the best setup. So bring em on!!

text: One does not need to have an easel to produce prints and my big ones so far have been limited to 20x24 made on a 20x16 easel with the blades removed. I modify the frame so it hold the paper flat, but the masking cannot be varied and is not 'clean'. This does not bother me as so far I either dry mount or mask off the image using the mount during framing thus hiding imperfect edges. BUT, I saw in a gallery a traditional fibre print of at least 30" with perfectly crisp masked off edges. I have never seen a whopper easel! How can one produce perectly accurately masked giant prints so that you can allow a border of paper base between the bevel mount and the image edge? I have heard of big vaccum easels but they dont mask do they? This has me stumped! Tom

During the first segment of the program today, I will speak with Emily Belz, from WORLD Magazine re: her recent article entitled, "DOMA's Day of Reckoning". In the article Emily writes, "In the noisy days after the Supreme Court issued its healthcare decision, the Obama administration filed two cases with the high court challenging the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). The July 3 filings gained little attention but they, coupled with disagreement about DOMA among lower courts, mean the Supreme Court is almost certain to take at least one case on marriage this fall."
During the second segment, I will be joined by Dr. Wayne Grudem. We will discuss his book, entitled, "Voting as a Christian - Social Issues". Writing about the book, Dr. Grudem notes: "This 218-page book contains the chapters on the protection of life, marriage, the family, freedom of speech, and freedom of religion from my larger book Politics — According to the Bible. It also contains a shortened overview of the early chapters on biblical principles for Christian influence on government in general."
Wayne Grudem is Research Professor of Theology and Biblical Studies at Phoenix Seminary in Phoenix, Arizona.He is the author of more than a dozen books including the bestselling Systematic Theology.

Range Rover's new smallest car, the Evoque, will cost under £30,000 when it goes on sale, with the entry level model being £27,955.
The top of the range version will cost £44,320, making the Evoque much more expensive than the current smallest Land Rover, the Freelander, which starts at £21,995.
The entry-level Evoque will be an ed4 Pure 6 Speed Manual 2WD with five doors and the 148bhp 2.2-litre diesel engine. However, Land Rover says this model won't be available until the start of next year and the cheapest model in the meantime will be the four-wheel drive version, which costs from £28,705.
This entry-level model will come with 18-inch alloys, heated leather seats, an eight-inch touch screen, hill-launch assist and USB and Bluetooth connection.
The top-priced Si4 Dynamic model with LUX Pack comes with four-wheel drive and an automatic gearbox, and adds an analogue and digital television, a surround-view camera, a blind-spot monitoring system and a park assist system. The engine in question will be a 2.0-litre, 237bhp petrol version.
A third engine will also be offered – a 187bhp version of the 2.2-litre diesel. The two-wheel drive version of the lower-powered diesel is set to be the highlight in terms of emissions, kicking out less than 130g/km CO2, while the turbocharged petrol is the performance leader, with 0-60mph coming in 7.1 seconds.
The car will come in two body styles, three and five door. The three door, also called the coupe by Range Rover, will come with two separate seats in the rear, although this can be changed for a three-seat bench if required.

Gyprock launches their new System Selector
CSR Gyprock"s innovative DesignLINK System Selector features new functionality to make it even easier for architects and designers to quickly and efficiently choose the right building system for their projects.
The online solution offers superior database functionality that allows Gyprock to continually input and update system information and specifications; a feature that ensures the system is always current and more up to date than the printed material found in Gyprock"s industry leading Red Book.
The tool offers a quick way of utilising a database of information on wall, floor, roof, ceiling and column systems, which is maintained by Architect and DesignLINK Manager, Angus Kell and his team.
"The Gyprock System Selector was the first to market with this online solution and provides a more efficient method of narrowing down search criteria and navigating architects and designers to the system that best suits their requirement, rather than searching through the Red Book," Angus said. The tool also offers the feature of durability indicators against each system, including impact resistance, capacity to take load, how the system weathers, water protection and serviceability of finishes.
There are two main paths for identifying the best systems for an architects" desired application which include:
- Specifications path – when known, the Specifications path allows users to input technical details and specific requirements (e.g. fire rating, acoustic rating, load capacity etc).
- Construction Requirements path – a broader, conversation style process that is designed for those who may not familiar with the Gyprock Red Book or other building requirements or may just want a broader range of options to consider. It contains five questions to assist in navigating the user to the appropriate systems.
The DesignLINK System Selector offers comprehensive results with links to drawings (DWG and Revit files when available), installation manuals and specifications, as well as the option for systems to be emailed to the user.
"Developed to suit the needs of the Australian Building Industry, all outputs of the DesignLINK System Selector are "approval ready" and are backed by fire and acoustic reports and opinions in accordance with the BCA and relevant Australian Standards," said Angus.

About Sunshine Lady
The mission of the Sunshine Lady Foundation is to invest in organizations and programs dedicated to providing opportunities for the advancement of education, well being and new life choices for disadvantaged people with special empathy for the working poor and families in crisis.
Acknowledging that good luck does not shine equally on everyone, the Sunshine Lady Foundation directors, staff and volunteers, known as Sunbeams, seek out ways to effectively share financial support, goodwill, energy and vision with those who need it most, and to encourage collaborative efforts within the community to help achieve this mission.
The Sunshine Lady Foundation is a private family foundation founded in 1996 by Doris Buffett and funded through her generosity. The mission of the foundation reflects the mid-western values and no-nonsense approach to decision-making that Doris grew up with in Omaha, Nebraska. Each Sunshine Lady Foundation grant is considered an investment, and the decision to grant funds is always based on an expected successful return. Doris Buffett is grateful to her father, Howard Buffett, and brother, Warren Buffett, not only for providing her with the wealth to fund the foundation but also for their inspirational examples of integrity and generosity.
An article in Worth magazine called the Sunshine Lady Foundation "uniquely hands-on, folksy, a person-to-person enterprise – the "un-foundation" because of Doris ' hands on, personal involvement with every aspect of the foundation's grant making process. The same article quotes Karen Green of the Council on Foundations as saying "Only two or three start-up (family foundations) out of the several dozen I've seen did anything like the degree of preparatory work that Doris (Buffett) did."
Doris is passionate about her responsibilities as a philanthropist and a good citizen and her energy and enthusiasm are boundless. Among her many other roles, she has been a first grade teacher, domestic violence crusader, political activist, mother and grandmother. She is the self appointed Buffett family genealogist and her avocation is historic preservation.
Since its inception in 1996 the Sunshine Lady Foundation has awarded more than $100 million in grants.
The Sunshine Lady Foundation does not accept requests for consideration of funding from individuals or organizations outside of the United States, or for the following purposes:
– business investments of any type or grants to businesses
– loans of any type, either personal or business
– payment of medical debt or school loans
– academic or scientific research
– graduate study
– conferences, seminars or trips
– environmental or animal protection causes
– general fund-raising drives or events
– religious organizations for religious purposes
– the Arts

Hi all,
I have a file in which each line is a tab seperated array of floats. And i have close 200,000 lines in that file. Now, I wanted a fast way to read this file.. Reading it line by line was too slow, so I wanted to try and read in chunks of the file (Say 100 lines at a time) and extract out the values from that in memory.
To do this, I first wanted to find the memory size in the file taken up by 1 line. Then I could fread(100xsizeof 1 line).. But when I tried to do this, i found that each line had a different size on the file. I can understand that if I read one line of the file into a string in my program and try to find the string length, it would be different for each line because a float no. like 234.56 would take up 6 chars while 23.56 would only take up 5 chars.
But even when I tried to check how much distance the file pointer had moved after 1 fgets().. [ftell(fp)].. I still get different sizes for different lines!. So my question is, how exactly is data stored into a file? If i try to store a float, is it converted into a string when it is being stored in a file? Should 200 floats always occupy the same memory space irrespective of what the value of the float is?
And lastly, to go a little bit off topic, if anyone has any pointers on whether I am going the right way in trying to read my file in the quickest possible way, I would really appreciate your advice..
Thanks in advance,
