- Kalju debut at Hiiu with a safe win and a couple of returning players on the scoresheet
- Ats Purje is immediately effective with three assists
- Tammeka showed good attitude but a lack of effectiveness in the finishing part
Nõmme Kalju took advantage of Levadia's Matchday 1 draw with Infonet as they comfortably beat Tammeka Tartu 3-0.
The Pink Panthers returned home to Hiiu Staadion, and goals from the returning Vladimir Voskoboinikov and Allan Kimbaloula, and a late strike from stalwart Tarmo Neemelo sealed the points.
However, for all of the beautiful and iconic buildings in Tallinn's city centre, it was Estonian international, and ex-Levadia winger, Ats Purje who was the capital's most prolific architect this afternoon, as he provided the assists for all three of his side's goals.
Kalju lined up in a familiar-looking formation, as new boss Sergei Terehhov felt little need to change his side's setup following the departure of Igor Prins. Vladimir Voskoboinikov spearheaded the 4-2-3-1, with Ats Purje and Allan Kimbaloula flanking him on the left and right side respectively. Wakui took up his familiar trequartista role, with Artjom Dmitrijev and Eino Puri starting as the defensive midfielders.
An interesting defensive decision saw Ken Kallaste start as centre back alongside Jorge Rodrigues, with Nicolas Galpin lining up at left back. Alo Barengrub had to be content with a place on the bench, with Henrik Pürg completing the outfield line-up at right back.
Tammeka were more defensively-minded in ther starting line-up, with Kristjan Tiirik at the head of a 4-1-4-1 formation. Rasmus Tauts provided support from the left of midfield, with Heiko Tamm on the right. Martin Miller provided an attack-minded midfield presence alongside Martin Jõgi, with Tauno Tekko providing cover in front of the defence. Tammeka's defence from left to right was comprised of Martin Naggel, Kaarel Kildron, Martin Hurt and Andre Paju, with Karli Kütt between the sticks.
Kalju started the match with the greater amount of possession, knocking the ball around in their own half to assert early control. Dmitrijev's cross was cut out for a first-minute corner, whilst at the other end Tiirik couldn't quite find Paju with a through ball.
In the 8th minute, Dmitrijev had a goal disallowed for offside as Kalju's possession struggled to evolve into clear chances. Tammeka were pressing them up-field early on, but Kalju slowly began to push back and move play further forward.
Tammeka's Tamm couldn't get his shot away after a good turn following Tiirik's pass, as their central approach contrasted Kalju's wing-play.
Tiirik threatened himself from a free kick, which flew just wide of Teleš' right post in the 15th minute, before Purje's first real involvement saw him cut in from the left side and his deflected shot fell easily to the goalkeeper.
Purje was beginning to find some space down the left, whilst Allan was evading his markers on the right. Tauts, Miller and Tiirik were trying to link down the middle for Tammeka as their pressing game continued to limit Kalju's attack.
The first real chance of the first half came in the 21st minute, as Dmitrijev's cross from out on the left was met by Wakui in the centre, but his looping header dropped on to the base of far post and out to safety.
This seemed to be something of a catalyst for the hosts as they began to assert their dominance. Voskoboinikov was caught offside a couple of times, and Purje was causing problems for Tammeka on the left wing, and it was the aforementioned two players who combined to open the scoring on 26 minutes.
A lovely dink over the defence by Wakui found Purje inside the box on the left, and he timed his half-volley cross to perfection, playing the ball across the goalkeeper for Voskoboinikov to tap home. Tammeka will have been disappointed by conceding having done fairly well up until that point, but Kalju had the bit between their teeth and looked to tighten their grip on the match.
Kalju's faithful were in full voice now and their traditional pink flares began to fill the pitch with smoke. Dmitrijev was beginning to assist Purje on the left side of midfield, with Galpin also giving Paju plenty of work to do with his overlapping.
Tammeka were now struggling to create anything, with Kalju keeping hold of the ball for longer spells. The visitors quick attacking play was breaking down, with Jõgi failing to connect with Tamm's flick.
Purje then had a chance to double the scoreline but his shot was blocked after being found in space by Voskoboinikov. Purje then swapped flanks with Allan, who had seen little of the ball during Kalju's left-side focused spell of play.
Purje was again involved as he broke away from Naggel on the right, and his cross was poorly dealt with by Tekko, but Puri couldn't hit the target as his shot from 15 yards under little pressure cleared the crossbar.
Allan reintroduced himself to the game as he skipped by Hurt on the left before seeing his low cross deflected out by Kutt in the Tammeka goal.
As the first half drew to a close, Tammeka managed to wrest a little control from the hosts, as they managed to apply a little pressure. Tiirik's sweeping shot from the right edge of the box drifted just wide of Teleš' far post, before his free kick from the edge of the box after Wakui's foul appeared to strike Tekko in the wall on its way over the bar.
Kalju managed to weather the mini-storm until the referee's whistle brought the first 45 minutes to a close.
The break appeared to slow the pace of the game down a little, with Purje's shot in the 48th minute drifting so far wide it went for a Tammeka throw.
The first booking of the game went to Puri for a challenge on Tauts, before Voskoboinikov was caught offside once more after running clear of the Tammeka defensive line.
The first sight of Ken Kallaste as an attacking threat came after 56 minutes as his overlap down the left won his side a corner.
Tammeka appeared to slow their attacking play down a little, and it was winning them more space in Kalju's half, but their final ball was wasteful and continued to deny them any clear chances at goal. While the match stayed at 1-0 they will have felt that they were still in with a shout, but a lovely break from Kalju in the 62nd minute effectively put paid to their chances of any points.
Purje charged forward down the middle of the pitch, before laying the ball left to Allan. The returning winger opened his body up and hit a delightful first-time curling shot with his right foot beyond Kütt and into the far corner of the net. It was a sensational way to announce his return to first team action after a long lay-off last season, and was just what Kalju needed as the second half threatened to turn into a cagey affair.
A small delay in the match followed as Puri took a knock to his right thigh, and as play resumed Tiirik reacted to Wakui's pressure with a push to the chest of the Japanese playmaker.
Tammeka's best chance of the second half until that point came with 22 minutes to go, as Tamm's 25-yard effort fizzed just wide of Teleš' right post.
Puri was down on the floor minutes later, as his afternoon was ended by his injury. Soren Kaldma replaced him for his Premium Liiga debut, with debutant Ergo Eessaar replacing Paju for Tammeka in what was an attacking change for the hosts.
Tammeka's more compact play started to come back to them, as they moved the ball around more neatly in and around the Kalju half.
It was Kalju who had the best chance to get the match's third goal, but Voskoboinikov will be disappointed with his header, which was scuffed over after Allan had found him with a right-wing cross. Allan was then replaced by another Premium Liiga debutant in Erik Listmann.
Purje was presented with a fantastic chance to make it 3-0, as Dmitrijev's through ball sent him clear of the Tammeka defence and left him 1-1 with the goalkeeper. Purje's composure deserted him, however, and after managing to drag the ball away from Kutt on the edge of the box, his shot was blocked by the retreating Kildron.
More substitutions followed, with Neemelo replacing Voskoboinikov, and Valeri Sabanov and Tristan Koskor coming on for Miller and Tamm for the visitors.
The changes turned the game into something of a scrappy affair once more, with play yoyo-ing back and forth in midfield.
Rodrigues was booked for a foul on Tiirik, with the resulting free kick headed well wide by Jõgi on the stretch. Kalju's defence were just about dealing with Tammeka's good passing play, but chances remained at a premium for the Tartu outfit, and it was Kalju who put the game to bed late on.
Purje's continued inside forward role saw him cut in from the left before playing Neemelo in on the right of the box. The veteran striker kept his cool and slotted the ball in off Kütt's right post to secure the points.
Kalju's persistence saw them finish the match with a scoreline they will be happy with. Tammeka didn't offer too many chances, but their positive play should see them fare well against the teams around them.
The hosts will be tested more than they were today in games against the bigger sides, but as first games go Terehhov will be very happy with the result, and particularly with the performances of Purje and Allan as inside forwards.

Donna Collins Tinsley5 Stars Out Of 5Authenticity through brokenness; Key to parentingSeptember 12, 2011Donna Collins TinsleyQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I was hooked on this book from the allegory at the beginning: "When he walked down the peopled street into the free, wild unknown, Jacob had no tools to navigate the world. He dropped his satchel and faced the confusing world lost and alone" to the very last page. Mary gives us the tools to use, so that our children will not have to feel lost and alone navigating the world.
I am a great fan of Mary E. DeMuth, both of her fiction and nonfiction. As I was reading this book, I thought how it would help so many people in the "Adult Children of Alcoholics" groups as they have had parenting at its worst. They sometimes talk about their childhood's and how they were parented. It is obvious although some have made great strides not to parent in the same way they were parented they could so benefit by Mary's books. When we have a "lost childhood" we sometimes don't know how to parent.
Many times as I was reading I wished I had grown up in the type of home that Mary is giving her children right now. Although she sometimes feels as we all do, that she fails her children at times. She has written some powerful, helpful things to steer us on in "You Can Raise Courageous and Confident Kids: Preparing Your Children for the World They Live"
Mary also gives questions for group discussions at the closing of the book that could be used as a personal Bible Study. Great addendum!
The story at the end of this book showed the very best scenario and I had tears running down my face as I saw what a beautiful send-off we can give if we really get the hang of raising courageous and confident kids. It would be a great gift to give at a baby shower.
Mary is a master storyteller but she shows authenticity through brokenness and for this reason I recommend this book.

Management Certifiation:
chromium carbide overlay wear pipes are composed of the wear base material and the wear layer, the wear layer is generally accounts for 1/3or 2/3 of total thickness;
wear layer and the base material is combined through metallurgy, so that the wear layer can't fall off, and can bear stronger impact.
chromium carbide overlay wear pipes are processed and molded by two methods, one is that chromium carbide overlay wear plate is rolled by roller press. the other is that we firsthand weld in the seamless steel pipe.
The performance of wear layer in the pipes is the exactly same with chromium carbide overlay wear plate.
chromium carbide overlay wear pipes' connection methods are flange connection and welding;
chromium carbide overlay wear pipes can be processed into elbow,tee branch,Square to round Transitions,frustum,Square tube,etc
Preferable wearlessness: chromium carbide overlay wear pipes surfacing layer thickness 3-12mm,the hardness can achieve HRC58-62, it achieves over 15-20x the wear life than ordinary steel plate, and over 5-10x the wear life than the low alloy steel plate, and over 2-5x the wear life than high-chromium iron. the wearlessness is much better than the Spray welding and the thermal spraying and other methods.
Product and service:double metal chromium carbide overlay wear pipes ,wearing pipeline,Chromium carbide welding self flux wire,industrial refurbshing of welding parts,wear-resisting product and the other agent product, meet the demand of customer wear- resisting fields;
Better impact performance: chromium carbide overlay wear pipe is double metal structure, there is metallurgical bonding between the wear lay and the base material. the bonding strength is high, it can absorb energy in the process of impact, the wear protection won't fall off. can be applied to the strong vibration and impact work environment.It is better than casting wear-resistant materials and ceramic materials;
Superior heat resistance performance: chromium carbide overlay wear pipe has a strong stability at high temperature, it can be used below 500℃.and can be ordered to produce in other temperature.and can be used within 1200℃. Ceramics, polyurethane, polymer materials etc wear resistant material which adopt the paste way can't meet the requirements of such a high temperature.
Good connection performation: chromium carbide overlay wear pipes ' base material is Q235 steel sheet, it can ensure the chromium carbide overlay plate's toughness and plasticity, and can offer the strength of resistance to external forces, may take welding,plug welding,bolt connection and other variety of ways to connect with other structure ,the connector is firm, and not easily to fall off, the attended mode is more than other material.
High quality choise performance: chromium carbide overlay wear pipes can select different thickness's base material, can weld different number of layers and thickness's alloy wear protection. can get many kinds of steel plate of different thickness and function ,the maximum thickness can be up to more than 50mm.
Excellent machining performance: chromium carbide overlay wear pipes can be produced to multitudinal size according to the requirements. can carry on the processing,cold bending forming,welding,bending, etc,easily to use;can on-site welding forming,making maintenance and replacement job turn time-saving ,convenient,and reduce the working strength greatly.
Superior cost performance effect:the price of chromium carbide overlay wear pipe is more expensive than ordinary materials,but considering the service life of the product,the maintenance cost,the spare parts cost and shutdown loss,its cost performance is much higher than ordinary steel plate and other material.

Defenders of collateral damage claim that it is inescapable, that when conducting a war, there is no pragmatic way to avoid civilian casualties, so critics need to "get over it."
Let's examine the assumptions underlying this argument.
When analyzing any argument, the conclusion and reasons must be kept in clear view; otherwise, a mass jumble of information becomes confusing and the conclusion initially argued for is lost.
So the claim of the argument is : After all precautions have been taken to avoid civilian casualties, collateral damage is morally justified.
What is the reason? Collateral damage is inevitable in war, even with the strictest precautions.
Clearly the conclusion does not follow from the reason, but that is only because the underlying assumptions have not been brought forward. All argument is like this. Reasons alone do not necessarily imply conclusions without substituting the assumptions connecting the reasons to the conclusions (whether those assumptions be factual or valuative).
So, to make the argument valid, what assumptions is the defender of collateral damage making?
There are a few ways to do this. I could plug in the most unfavorable assumptions possible, thereby making it easier to attack the argument; or I could plug in the most favorable (if I were a defender of this view) to make the argument the strongest.
I plan to do my best to make the most reasonable interpretation I can, but I'm sure there will be disagreement. For the record, when I use the word justified, I mean morally justified, but I don't wanna type that out over and over. I'm also going to stop using the euphemism "collateral damage," so as to ensure the argument is accurately portrayed.
Reason: Killing civilians is required to win a war.
Assumption: All actions required to win a war are justified. (this assumes the ends justify the means, which has some very disturbing implications. It also assumes war is justified, which implies that mass killing is justified).
Conclusion: Killing civilians is justified in a war.
I'm not claiming these are all the assumptions underlying the argument, just a few.
What say you?
War is Hell. Yes, civilians die. Nobody who is sane wants war. Unfortunately, it is necessary at times, and yes, there is collateral damage. It's an unfortunate reality.
I have to agree with that, the concept of a just war is a nebulous one at best but there is such a thing (I would argue it's a very long time since we waged such a war as the US) but in those situations yes, innocents will be hurt and it's utterly horrible, everything should be done to avoid it but ultimately it will happen.
What is utterly unforgivable is targeting civilians and we have certainly done that before on the basic that the ends justify it, I don't agree.
Nor is "they did it first" a moral argument. The intentional targeting of civilian centers in WW2 conventional bombings, Nagasaki and Hiroshima and the Vietnam war (particularly in Cambodia) are not covered by collateral damage, that is intentional genocide/mass murder aimed at civilian populations.
The reason, assumption and reasoning are all flawed. For example, killing civilians is not required to win a war, IF the soldiers will separate themselves geographically from all civilians, AND civilians will not participate in the war effort. Is a civilian building a war plane a viable target?
The assumption is flawed in that not ALL actions are justified. Killing civilians in certain circumstances is, but that does not mean that all actions are, or that civilians can be slaughtered indiscriminately.
So the connection between the two is nearly nonexistent as stated. Both need re-worked to even come close to truth or morality.
I'm not arguing for this view, but I think you are attacking the truth of the reason and assumption more than the logic. If you assume the reason and assumptions are true, it does follow that killing civilians is justified, even if the reason and assumption are completely false. Logic and the truth of the reasons are not the same.
I was basing the argument on what I've heard from defenders of civilian deaths. I was just trying to lay it out in clear form.
I think you bring up a good point about civilians building weapons. They are participating in the war effort right? They are contributing. However, if we follow this line of thought, people who pay taxes are also contributing, so nearly all civilians would be fair game. Thus, there would be no problem with immoral civilian deaths at all! (at least mostly). This is also the reasoning Osama bin Laden used. He claimed civilian weren't innocent in the United States because they were allowing American foreign policy to continue unabated.
The second premise you have a problem with is the universality of the claim. It isn't saying ALL killings of civilians are justified, just that all actions REQUIRED TO WIN a war are justified. This doesn't mean there won't be "immoral" civilian casualties; it just means the casualties that are required to win are morally justified, which will include some civilians. According to defenders of this (I'm almost a pacifist, so I have huge problems with the entire argument).

German luxury automaker BMW raised Tuesday its 2011 outlook and said it now expects to sell significantly more than 1.5 million vehicles for the year.
"Group sales will reach markedly more than 1.5 million autos and increase for all three brands," chairman Norbert Reithofer said during the company's annual press conference.
BMW, which also owns the Mini and Rolls-Royce brands, presented most of its 2010 results last week when it said it should sell around 1.5 million vehicles this year, up from 1.46 million last year.
Munich-based BMW also said Tuesday that it wanted to "see its profit increase again this year."
It posted a net profit of 3.23 billion euros ($4.48 billion) for 2010, 15 times higher than the level a year earlier.
Pre-tax profit should now exceed 4.84 billion euros, the record level set last year, the company said.
The BMW brand remains the group's core unit, with sales of 1.22 million autos last year.
Europe was the group's biggest market, followed by China and the United States.
Sales were growing meanwhile in Brazil, India, Russia, South Korea and Turkey, Reithofer said.

Librettist switched to France for 2009
GROUP 1-winning miler Librettist will stand at Haras du Logis in France next season at a fee of €7,000. The seven-year-old son of Danzig was originally scheduled to stand for £7,000 at Dalham Stud in Newmarket, where he has spent the past two seasons.
Librettist progressed into a leading miler for Godolphin as a four-year-old, taking five of seven races including the Group 1 Prix du Moulin and Group 1 Prix Jacques Les Marois. The half-brother to Dubai Destination was also successful in the Group 3 Prix Messidor and in two of his three starts as a two-year-old. He retired as the winner of seven races and £432,033 in prize-money.
"We're lucky enough to be standing Country Reel, also a son of Danzig, and he's proving enormously popular," said Julian Ince, manager of Haras du Logic, of the switch. "So it's wonderful to be able to offer breeders another son of Danzig - like Country Reel out of a mare with Seattle Slew in her pedigree.
"I'm sure many French breeders will, like me, remember his big wins in Paris and Deauville."
Librettist covered 222 mares, including 66 stakes performers or producers, during his time at Dalham Hall Stud. Of his 31 first crop foals to pass through the ring last year, 16 were sold including a colt which realised 25,000gns.
Librettist, who is out of the Alleged mare Mysterial, joins Country Reel, King's Best, Layman, Slickly and Sulamani under the Darley banner at Haras du Logis in 2009.

Blues America (2 x 60′) – Narrated by Huey Morgan and produced by rock photographer and documentarian Mick Gold, this star-studded series sets out to explore how the blues crossed borders and shows that it was not based only in racial oppression and rural poverty but also entertainment, dancing and sexual excitement.
The first programme looks at the birth of the blues from minstrel and medicine shows into a commercial industry. Gold and contributors including Keith Richards, Taj Mahal and Chuck D. look at key moments in its development, including the arrival of records in the 1920s, the first blues recording stars, and the effects of the 1930s economic depression which drove tens of thousands of black Americans from rural poverty in the South to factory jobs in the North.
The second part begins in post-war Chicago, Detroit and Memphis and charts the blues migration to the cities which forged a style that would give birth to rock'n'roll in the 1950s. With insights from Keith Richards, Bonnie Raitt, Seasick Steve and Buddy Guy, Gold charts its progress to the modern day, showing how the blues has now transcended racial and national boundaries to become a central strand of America's DNA.

Sofia Vergara steals the show as bridesmaid at her friend's wedding
It's hard not to have your bridesmaid steal the spotlight when she's one of the most famous actresses on television.
Sofia Vergara, the highest paid actress on tv for Modern Family, played the supporting role at her friend Chi Bui's wedding in California on Saturday. Both actresses hail from Colombia.
The 42-year-old star brought fiancé, Magic Mike actor Joe Manganiello as her date and kept her four million Instagram followers up to date with the nuptials throughout the day.

In addition to her snaps of the happy couple, the Hot Pursuit star shared a photo of her tucking into some wedding cake, saying: "It's bad luck if you don't eat wedding cake."
Sofia was among three bridesmaids, who donned classic yellow gowns, for the couple's big day and likely took in some tips for her own walk up the aisle later this year.
The couple have found it tough to nail down a wedding date due to their busy schedules.
It's killing me. We wanted to get married this summer, but Joe will be busy working and promoting Magic Mike 2," Sofia explained earlier this year.
"We want to get married at a time when we can get away and make time for a honeymoon. So the wedding will probably be later this year."

All the NSA Cares About is How Well You Know Tech
- August 16, 2012
- Job Hunting
- 3
I ran across a clever advertisement from the National Security Agency (NSA): If you were a prominent, active competitor at the recent DEF CON, they want to talk to you about a job.
In addition to the usual laundry list of skills — like design/analysis of LANs/WANs, JAVA, C++, rapid prototyping and algorithm development — they've specifically called out that their ideal candidates have "a Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience."
That phrase "equivalent experience" opens the door to people who haven't graduated from college, may be entirely self-taught or who simply live, eat and breathe security, doesn't it?
The agency also says that you'll have to pass a background investigation and polygraph, but: "If you have a few, shall we say, indiscretions in your past don't be alarmed. You shouldn't automatically assume that you won't be hired."
It makes perfect sense that NSA is concerned about your background. You definitely won't get a job if you have a criminal record or major character flaws. If you don't, here are a few tips to start raising the odds in your favor.
Tip No. 1: Compete
You'll want to show what you're made of by participating in high-profile events, such as Capture the Flag, the Mystery Challenge or any of the other DEF CON challenges. Other conferences like barcamps and hackathons — have similar opportunities.
In a nutshell, the NSA is looking for people who can perform well in the heat of competition, and when it really counts, along with integrity. Isn't that what all companies want?
Tip No. 2: Stand Out From the Crowd
Some people choose to give a presentation. Some wear "attention grabbing" outfits or show their various forms of body art. Others show what they have by competing in contests sponsored by the conference. Some do all three and more. It's all part of the process.
Judging from past YouTube interviews with three-letter federal agencies that were DEF CON attendees, it's clear that they aren't worried if someone has a spiky, orange Mohawk, or lots of tattoos and body piercings.
These techniques help attract attention. Your mileage, of course, will vary.
Tip No. 3: Be Confident, Be Yourself
The underlying message behind all of these attractors is that people who do well almost always know what they're talking about in their particular field. They are confident enough with their own abilities to just be themselves.
This is a big problem area for a lot of job seekers. After an extended period of no work (and no income), it's easy to lose that spring in your step or bold tone in your voice. Time for a change.
When you show people you know what the heck you're doing, doors will suddenly open and people seek you out.
Take a lesson from DEF CON and use that hacker mindset to find your next new position. Don't stop with the NSA or DEF CON. There's a ton of other three-letter federal agencies looking for experts in mobile development, systems, operations and a myriad of other IT related areas.
You won't win any friends with this. Just wait until the interviews start, your school pals, teachers, ex-girlfriends, neighbors, co-workers and the guys at the pub.
Yeah, I can see you now. 😉 😉
Yea, I was recruited to work at NSA. I have a Computer Science degree from a top 3 Computer Science program and am very interested in cyber warfare. But I balked at the overly intrusive background check. Didn't even apply, it was way too much. The weird thing is I don't even have anything to hide.
Anyone care to take a stab at potential opportunities for a person with extensive criminal history who turned the corner, realized mistakes, corrected them, became qualified for IT/programming…trying to gauge likelihood of doing contract work for the alphabets…concerned about the emerging threats

The west front of Norwich Cathedral was originally created as part of the first building campaign in 1096-1145, though some of the most dominant features, including the west window, were added in the 15th century. Alterations were also made during several restoration campaigns in the 19th century. The rest of the building is argely Norman. The clerestory of the choir was rebuilt in perpendicular style after the spire collapsed on top of it in 1362. The ceiling was originally in wood and was replaced with stone vaulting in the fifteenth and early sixteenth century. The current spire is from 1480 and is a brick structure clad in stone, while the previous spires had been in wood.
Christ Church Cathedral in Oxford was built in 1160-1200, originally as the church of St Frideswide's Priory. There were plans to replace the priory with a college in 1522-29 but this was stopped in 1532 when the crown took over the property. It became the cathedral of Oxford in 1546 when the diocese was transferred from Osney Abbey after only four years. The diocese of Oxford was created in 1542 and previously belonged to the diocese of Lincoln. Christ Church has been said to be the smallest cathedral in England.
The west front of Peterborough Cathedral was completed in 1237 as part of a rebuilding process begun after a fire in 1116, which had destroyed the previous church. A porch was added to the west front in 1375. Most of the rest of the building, including the central tower, had been completed by 1193. The Norman tower was rebuilt in gothic style in the second half of the 14th century and a 'new building' with perpendicular fan vaulting was added to the east end in 1496-1508. The original church is thought to have been founded in about 655 and was rebuilt around 966.
The lower and central part of the west front of Lincoln cathedral originates with the first building campaign in 1088-92 and may originally have belonged to a freestanding structure, not connected with the cathedral. It was enveloped within a taller and broader facade in the early 14th century. The Norman church had been destroyed in an earthquake in 1185 and the rebuilding went on for most of the 13th century. The central tower had a spire, which it is believed made it the tallest structure in the world until it was blown off in a storm in 1549. The diocese was previously based in Dorchester before the Normans moved it to Lincoln in 1072.
The west front of Winchester Cathedral was rebuilt in 1346-66 as the first phase in the transformation of the nave, which was completed in 1367-1404. A gothic retro-choir had been added in 1189 and the crossing tower was rebuilt after the original collapsed in 1107. Otherwise, the cathedral stood as built in 1079-93 and the Norman transepts still survive. Further alterations were made in the 15th and 16th centuries, with the addition of chantries to the retrochoir and the rebuilding of the lady chapel and presbytery. The Norman cathedral replaced two anglo-saxon churches, the Old Minster dating from 1648 and the New Minster from 901.
The west front of Ely Cathedral was finished in 1400 when the octagonal tower was completed. The lower parts of the facade were begun around 1140 but the west tower was left half-built around 1189. There were originally transepts on either side of the tower but the north-west wing collapsed at the end of the 15th century. The porch was probably built in the early 13th century.
St. Micheal's Church in Coventry was elevated to cathedral status in 1918 by the creation of the Coventry diocese. The church was built in the 14th century and completed in the early 15th but was reduced to rubble during the blitz. Only the tower and outer walls remain.
The western front of Canterbury Cathedral is from the early 15th century, with the exception of the north-west tower, where the previous Norman tower remained until 1834. The nave was entirely rebuilt after an earthquake in 1382 and the central tower was begun in 1433. The transepts retain a little more of the Norman church, which was built after a fire in 1067 and which was modelled on Abbey of St. Etienne in Normandie. The choir had already been damaged in a fire in 1174 and rebuilt in gothic style. The church was originally founded in 597 by a Benedictine abbot sent to Britain as a missionary by the pope. The church may have predated his arrival and was replaced with a new structure in the ninth or tenth century.
St. Paul's Cathedral is the Anglican cathedral of London, designed by Christopher Wren in 1668-1711, though some of the statues on the roof were only added in the 1720s. For more information, click here.
Southwark Cathedral only became a cathedral when the diocese of Southwark was created in 1905, though a church may have existed here since before the Norman invasion. Most of the building as it stands is from after the fire of 1212, and construction probably lasted for much of the 13th century. The tower was completed around 1420 and some rebuilding also took place after a fire in the 1390s. Most of the east front is from 1808-30, due to a restoration by George Gwilt Jun. He removed the windows that had been added in the early 16th century but there was no record of how it had looked before and the restoration therefore resulted in a new gothic design.
The west front of St. Albans Cathedral was built in 1880-83 to a design by Edmund Beckett. The medieval structure had fallen into serious disrepair and went through extensive restoration work throughout the 19th century, but it still retains features from the Norman abbey built in 1077-89. This includes the central tower and parts of the nave. The nave was extended in the 1190s and the western front as restored by Beckett originates from that period, though the large west window was only introduced in the 15th century. The eastern end was rebuilt after an earthquake in 1250 and parts of the nave suffered the same fate after it collapsed in 1323.

Starksy is in action....
but not quite finished. Seems like this is the never-ending project. I am super happy with the results, but I hadn't put the little belt loops on yet. I wasn't going to, more because I wanted to be finished with this project. But from the first attempts to get pictures of Starsky, I can see it needs to be done. There's an unsightly little ridge/bulge of sweater fabric over the belt in the back. Not a good look for anyone. More pictures to come and sorry Mimi- it fits. Strangely, no matter how it looks, it feels great and I love it. It's just what I wanted, a comfy slouchy sweater. More later, off to start the day. I think it looks more like a "professor sweater" than a crime fighting sweater- more like Starsky, Phd.

NSFW VIDEO: Police investigating loud screams discover volume turned up on porn film
POLICE investigating reports of loud screams coming from a home discovered that it was a porn film being played at full volume.
Worried residents could hear the screams and moans coming from the home in Barcelona, Spain, and filmed the sounds in case they needed evidence of a crime taking place.
Believing that someone was in serious trouble, they then called the police, who rushed to the residence to investigate.
However, when the homeowner opened the door to them, his explanation was not as serious as feared.
He had in fact turned up his television full blast while he was watching an X-rated movie.
Apparently unaware of the noise, he even had his windows wide open, sending the sound of screaming out into the neighbourhood.
Police told him to keep the volume down – and to think about his neighbours next time he feels the need to watch one.
Well, certainly not in that way...

Peugeot 306 (1994-2001)
The Peugeot 306 was a remarkably impressive newcomer in 1994. Its strongest qualities were an attractive and comfortable interior with loads of space, excellent ride and steering and an appealing character.
Performance is only modest, thanks to just 77kW of power. Zero-to-100kmh takes 12.5 seconds, about two seconds slower than the nippier rivals, Ford's Laser Liata and Holden's Astra. The automatic is slower again.
The engine is reasonably flexible though and the 306 pulls happily enough from low engine revs provided there are no challenging gradients.
In July 1997 came a more efficient twin camshaft, multi-valve engine delivering 84kW. It's worth paying extra for one of these.
The ride is amazingly supple and absorbent for such a compact car, thanks to the combination of Peugeot's longstanding expertise in this area -- inter alia, it's one of the rare car companies that makes its own shock absorbers -- and a longish wheelbase.
Accurate and well-weighted power steering with good road feel adds to the driving pleasure. The brakes are good, as is handling -- though the 306 is less agile than some rivals, being the trade-off for its plush ride.
Excellent seats mounted fairly high in the car, light trim colours, a deep glasshouse and low-set dashboard combine to give the 306 a wonderfully roomy and expansive feel, quite unlike a regular small car.
On first impressions you would certainly put this car high on your short list as many Sydney eastern suburbs and North Shore buyers did. For a substantial minority of owners, the ownership experience can be disappointing. NRMA technical advisers report numerous recalls, some of which may have brought anxiety.
Vehicles built in September and October 1997 suffered a short-circuit in the starter motor harness which could cause an under-bonnet fire. More widespread in 1997 models was a potential fuel hose leak, another fire risk.
A wiring fault could lead to a loss of braking on cars built between July 1999 and June 2000. The airbag warning light could stay on, meaning the airbag was deactivated. On 1995-96 cars the main electrical wiring harness under the left front mudguard could short-circuit on contact with the body.
The drive belt tension roller had to be replaced on some vehicles to prevent the belt becoming loose and robbing the steering of its power assistance.
Many of these recalls may have been precautionary, but there's a simple bottom line: if you are considering a 306, check with a dealer as to how many of these recalls affected the car and see that all necessary work has been carried out. Properly serviced cars should now be fine.
There are numerous 306 variants, from the base XR three-door hatch (1994-97) to the high performance S16 (1994-96) and GTi6 (1997-2000). The Cabriolet was very popular but feels particularly "loose" in the body, which flexes more than most late model open cars.
There was a four-door sedan and, from April 1996, a diesel with exemplary fuel economy.
How much?
For '94s, an XR hatch with 130,000km is about $11,500; an XT five-door might fetch $15,000. A 2000 GTi6 with 50,000km can be $32,000. Cabriolets are from $25,000 up to mid-$40,000s.
The others
The excellent, current Holden Astra is about $16,000. The Citroen Xsara shares most of the 306's mechanicals; the Honda Civic is the best of the Japanese small cars.
What to look for
Engine and transmission
Engine management system problems, often due to the solenoid taking in water, can cause the engine to cut out and affect the power assistance for the brakes and steering. There have been recalls because of the risk of under-bonnet fires.
Fit and finish
Overall build quality is average with rough edges apparent on close inspection. There are plenty of squeaks and groans from the interior plastics on well-used models.
Check for broken seat runners. One recall was to remedy loose lower ball joints in the front suspension. The history of any used 306 must be exhaustively researched.
Buyer aware:This information is intended as a guide only. An NRMA inspection is a good precaution (phone 131 122). NRMA Technical Advisors are on 1300 655 443 or see www.nrma.com.au REVS (9633 6333) can ensure the vehicle is of clean title.
Prices and details correct at publication date.

This post is in response to Mental Health Awareness Month.
All opinions posted here are my own. Actually, they're not opinions, they're experiences.
I realized how very few little people understand about psychological conditions that aren't depression. I hear people throwing around facts about everything from PTSD to bipolar disorder, and a lot of what they say is wrong.
So let's clear the air a little.
First: If you don't believe in the psychological effects of horrible experiences, you need to read a scientific journal, not this blog post. This blog is a safe place for people who suffer.
Posttraumatic stress disorder is an umbrella term for people who've been through traumatic events: sexual assault, wartime violence, abduction. It can include flashbacks, panic attacks, nightmares, emotional numbness, self-destructive behavior, suicidal tendencies, depression, and more which occur long-term as a result of the trauma.
Calling it PTSD helps distinguish people who, say, have panic attacks as a result of emetophobia from those having panic attacks as a result of trauma. Same symptoms, different cause.
Panic Attacks
Your fight-or-flight kicks in, responding to fear stimuli, and your body reacts accordingly: speeding heart rate, fast/shallow breathing, muscle twitches, adrenaline, sweats. While panic attacks are caused by your mind, you can't think them away. The body's physiological response to fear is automatic, and worse, it feeds the fear in your mind.
When fighting panic attacks, it's important to identify your trigger. My trigger was men making aggressive motions towards me, usually on accident: a hand flying towards my face, someone taller than me stooping down for a hug. Back in the day, that simple gesture would cause my body to react fearfully. I shut down, curling into a little ball, sobbing and shaking and usually experiencing flashbacks or hallucinations.
There are a variety of reasons to have hallucinations. I know someone with narcolepsy who sometimes wakes up and has hallucinations because of her brain's unhealthy relationship with sleep. My hallucinations, however, were a part of my PTSD. While flashbacks involve vivid memories of the traumatic event(s), a hallucination is made-up. It involves seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling, or any combination thereof.
Mine were auditory and somatosensory. I hallucinated people coming to get me, stabbing me, etc. I heard them and felt them, and I knew they were real. At the same time, a part of me knew they weren't real; but that didn't keep the other part of me from believing and experiencing them as if they were.
You might wonder how one can become so disconnected from reality as to believe in a false, mental reality. The fact is, your every perception about reality goes through your brain. You only know reality by what your brain tells you.
When I hallucinated at school, it was my friends who helped me through it. They sat with me and told me over and over that it was safe. That never solved the problem right away. But they gave me a link to reality that helped me get through the hallucinations and panic attacks and back to solid ground.
These are essentially hyper-memories. Do you have things you remember in extra detail--when you were embarrassed in front of a crowd or something scared you as a kid? Flashbacks are a worse version of that: intense, perfect, freeze-frame detail.
They call it a flashback because it flashes at you out of nowhere, like a panic attack that gets triggered. You can get so involved in the memory you tune out from what's going on around you. Flashbacks can make PTSD worse because you're essentially reliving the traumatic event in your head, remembering every sound, every touch, every second of what happened.
Flashbacks can cause panic attacks. If you live with someone who experienced trauma, don't ask them details unless they offer to tell. The telling will still be hard. No matter how healed you are from PTSD, the memory will always be emotional.
Repressed Memories
I didn't believe in these until they happened to me. Now I understand the science. Your brain literally cannot process what happened; it's too emotionally stressful. So the parts of your brain that process memory process this one differently. While you retain the intense detail of the memory, it gets stuffed down and the brain keeps it from resurfacing to your conscious mind.
It still reeks havoc in your unconscious. You experience a sense of duality, as if you can't find a part of yourself, and can often feel lost or depressed. You can start experiencing PTSD before the memory resurfaces, as happened to me: I had no idea why I was having panic attacks and hallucinations.
Have you ever lost your keys? You check by the door, in your purse, on the counter, wherever you normally keep them. Then suddenly the lightbulb goes on: that's right! I left them on my desk! How could I forget?
The return of repressed memories is similar. Once you remember, it seems impossible that it could've slipped your mind. You remember it as clearly and easily as you remember hanging out with a friend last week. It is like any other memory (but stronger); you just forgot it for awhile.
Trust Issues
When reality is getting turned on its head--you're hallucinating things that seem real but aren't, and remembering things that are real but you don't want them to be--it's hard to stay connected with what's true. It's hard to really believe that your friends and family love you, or that life is worth living.
I didn't believe in love. I didn't believe in my value. I didn't believe in a loving God. More importantly, I couldn't overcome these things by self-persuasion.
I told myself daily, "You're good enough. People love you." I tried. And my symptoms of PTSD did diminish. But instead, all the emotional stress was channeled into a deep, suicidal depression that I kept denying I had. By trying to believe I was okay, I repressed the fact that I wasn't. Eventually, my "force of will" act almost killed me when I tried to take my own life in the summer of 2007.
The only thing that heals PTSD, trust issues, and the rest is seeing reality for yourself. If you think everyone's out to get you, the only way you'll be persuaded differently is if people love you instead of abandoning you, day after day. Healing is a long-term process. You slog through the weeks and months and a year later realize that everyone's still by your side like they promised. You begin to believe.
Incidentally, that's why I believe in a loving God. When I went to kill myself, I theorized that a loving God would take away all the things that were driving me to end my life. So I gave God one chance to heal my heart, something I'd never done before. I'd never let anyone into my heart because I was afraid of experiencing the trauma of letdown and betrayal.
But I was about to kill myself anyway, so if God let me down, it wouldn't matter much. I gave him one chance. The panic attacks ended. The fear ended. The suicidal desires went away. I didn't believe, but I didn't have to; God proved his love by acting it out.
Truth is something that is, not something you make. In the same way, you don't have to try to heal yourself from your trauma; healing is something you find, not something you do. I think too often we try to psych ourselves into a better frame of mind. It won't work. Giving up the fight and letting others stand beside you is the only way you'll find wholeness again.

Creation of OSHA provided workers the right to a safe and healthful workplace
The creation of OSHA provided workers the right to a safe and healthful workplace.
Employers must have a written, complete hazard communication program that includes information on:
MSDS Example
What information does the MSDS provide?
Has anyone seen an MSDS in their workplace?
Were the instructions on the MSDS followed in their workplace?
Has anyone worked with hazardous substances without an MSDS?
OSHA's Recordkeeping rule requires most employers with more than 10 workers to keep a log of injuries and illnesses.
Workers may bring up safety and health concerns in the workplace to their employers without fear of discharge or discrimination, as long as the complaint is made in good faith.
OSHA regulations [29CFR 1977.9(c)] protect workers who complain to their employer about unsafe or unhealthful conditions in the workplace.
Workers may file a complaint with OSHA if they believe a violation of a safety or health standard, or an imminent danger situation, exists in the workplace.
Workers may request that their name not be revealed to the employer.
If a worker files a complaint, they have the right to find out OSHA's action on the complaint and request a review if an inspection is not made.
Employee representative can accompany OSHA inspector
Workers can talk to the inspector privately.
Workers may point out hazards, describe injuries, illnesses or near misses that resulted from those hazards and describe any concern you have about a safety or health issue.
Workers can find out about inspection results, abatement measures and may object to dates set for violation to be corrected.
Workers have the right to be free from retaliation for exercising safety and health rights.
Workers have a right to seek safety and health on the job without fear of punishment.
This right is spelled out in Section 11(c) of the OSH Act.
Workers have 30 days to contact OSHA if they feel they have been punished for exercising their safety and health rights.
What does an MSDS tell you?
What are some worker rights related to injury and illness reporting?
Name some standards or hazards where workers must be trained.
Provide a workplace free from recognized hazards and comply with OSHA standards
Provide training required by OSHA standards

Observation of real or simulated professional practice
A form of authentic assessment, observation of practice is a way of assessing a student's practical skills in a real or realistic work situation. This can be used as a formative assessment by observing students over a period of time and providing feedback on their performance, enabling them to learn by doing; it can also be used as summative assessment. Particularly suited to science, medicine or education subjects, the approach can nevertheless be applied creatively to any discipline.
Workload guide
Preparation time Student workload Marking time
Literacies and skills exhibited
Carrying out instructions and following protocols
Being self-directed, managing time and tasks
Working independently
Identifying and defining problems
Observations are usually marked live via a rubric (tick sheet with brief notes), with more detailed reflection following the observation.
Formative feedback can be provided in the workplace where appropriate, and/or 1:1 afterwards. Feedback could also be sought from an employer or leader in the professional context. Group feedback sessions, pulling in all students who have been involved in professional practice, are useful at points during or after the activity to help students to reflect on their performance and apply it to future contexts.

Yang Berhormat Senator Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil is a very prominent politician Malaysia.
She is currently a Senator appointed by the prime minister and the chief of the Wanita Umno wing. Shahrizat was the former Minister of Women, Family and Community Development and was the Member of Parliament of Lembah Pantai which she sensationally lost to Nurul Izzah Anwar in 2008. Lembah Pantai was a stronghold of Umno which Shahrizat held for 13 years before the defeat. However, despite losing in the 2008 General Election, she was appointed into the cabinet by the prime minister.
A lawyer in profession, Shahrizat is married to Datuk Seri Dr. Mohamad Salleh Ismail with whom she has three children. She came under the spotlight in 2011 when her husband and children were mired in controversy for allegedly misusing public funds and a soft loan of RM250million in the still on-going National Feedlot Corporation (NFC) scandal. The negative spotlight caused her to step down from her ministerial post. She was however cleared off any involvement with the NFC as it was managed b her husband. Since then, she has been actively campaigning for a 'comeback' and is still very much in the spotlight after winning the party elections to maintain her post as the Umno Wanita chief.

UPDATE: Prevail's West Coast Renaissance Tour with Kyprios is officially underway with 2 dates already in the bag. Look out for the West Coast MCs tonight in Lethbridge, Alberta and tomorrow in Medicine Hat.
Vancouver, BC – Originally published October 29, 2014 – Prevail from legendary hip-hop trio Swollen Members has announced the dates for his upcoming co-headlining West Coast Renaissance Tour with Kyprios from Sweatshop Union. The tour will kick off in November and run through December with support from Prada West, Indelible, Neph, and J. Dohe.
Prevail has been teasing his upcoming new project Alpha Omega online – scheduled for release in early 2015. "I've been working in the studio on some new solo tracks, and the new material is insanely high energy. With Madchild out on the road in support of his amazing new solo record and Rob taking some time off to build a brand new studio and work on beats, now just felt like the perfect time to embark on a solo tour," commented Prevail. "I'm blessed to have some incredibly talented emcees out with me on this tour, and I've known my brother Kyprios for years since we put out Sweatshop Union's old albums on Battleaxe Records back in the day. I'm excited to get out on the road and perform tracks off my Spasefase EP, some classic tracks, and I have a few surprises planned for these shows."
"Prevail has been a mentor, an idol, a brother, an inspiration and a lifelong friend. I've put many miles on the odometer with Prev, always astounded by his on onstage ferocity, his energy and capacity to control a crowd," commented Kyprios. "I'm hoping to steal some games of cribbage off him on the road."

People generally cringe or roll their eyes when they hear the word "poetry."
For some, poetry means a dimly lit coffee house with strangely dressed college students reciting poems that, if we're being honest, really just sound like a bunch of random words mashed together to describe their "feelings."
For others, poetry takes them back to their dingy high school classroom with that one English teacher who kept pushing poems beneath their noses that didn't make any sense and then demanding that they figure out what the poem is "really saying," as if all poems were just cruel tricks written by poets to confuse the masses.
And the majority of people associate poetry with silly rhymes from their childhood about rabbits and spiders that taught lessons like "eat your vegetables" or "don't crawl up a water spout in the middle of a downpour." Silly. Childish, in every sense of the word.
But here's not so much of a secret: poetry doesn't have to be confusing. And the topics so many poets explore could hardly be classified as childish.
Why Poetry:
You might imagine the English language like two different hiking trails.
Prose (the complete sentences that you're reading right now) is that paved trail shared by both walkers and bikers alike: the direction of the sentence is clear and is easy for our brains to navigate, allowing us to breeze through each paragraph at whatever pace we desire. We might walk slowly through each sentence, admiring the view, but the direction ahead is clear and paved before us.
Poetry is that unpaved trail that challenges the reader to slow down, mind their footing, and explore the vibrancy and intricacies of the world around them. Just like hiking through a dense wood to a waterfall, you can't help but feel as if you've entered a new dimension while reading a poem, as if you're quietly hiking through the heartbeat of a world vibrant with mystery and passion.
So why write poetry?
Our emotions swirl inside us like dirty water in a shaken glass jar. We can be tired, overjoyed, arrogant, scared, broken, thankful, and angry all within the hour.
Putting our emotions to paper—exploring them in a form that anticipates this emotional instability from the writer—is one way of slowing down. Of calming the waters inside our jars so we can recognize the dirt and dust within ourselves settling on the bottom.
Write Your Own Psalms:
The Psalms are some of the oldest poems in the world, and they're riddled with every human emotion imaginable as the poet tries to make sense of God and His plans for this world: joy, gratitude, anger, frustration, fear, love, sadness, hope, desire. The Psalms are not simply poems about these things—they embody them.
First try reading straight through the Psalms for a month. Read 3 or 5 in a row each day. Don't pick and choose the "nice" verses over the "bad" ones. The Psalms are meant to embody the ups and downs of human life. Ignoring one verse while emphasizing another is like trying to build a chord with only one voice.
Read. And then write your own.
Writing the psalms of your life may sound like a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be. At all. Especially when the only requirement is to prayerfully write as yourself. Your genuine, authentic, work-in-progress self.
How awesome would it be to have a journal full of your own personal psalms that speak to your daily joys and struggles? What a sweet and beautiful way to tell your story. And to speak with God.
I dare you to try writing a Psalm of your own tomorrow morning.
And hey! If it goes better than you thought, I dare you to try it again.
A Psalm Writing Exercise:
Sometimes the easiest way to start writing your own Psalms is to take one that's already written and turn it into a kind of mad lib, adding in your own struggles and joys where the Psalmist has placed theirs. It's a cool way to acknowledge and explore your particular place in God's story.
I wrote my own below to share with and hopefully inspire you to pick a few Psalms and do the same for yourself. Include whichever Psalms you want. Title them whatever you want. But let them each be a genuine reflection of your heart.
Here's the original Psalm I chose (taken from the NRSV):
Psalm 23
The Divine Shepherd
1 The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures;
he leads me beside still waters;
3 he restores my soul.
He leads me in right paths
for his name's sake.
4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
I fear no evil;
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff—
they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
my whole life long.
Beautiful, right?
Now personalize this poem to your own heart and circumstances. I've given you some blank spaces to make the personalization a bit easier, if that's the kind of thing you're looking for:
Psalm 23
A Psalm of _______
1 The Lord is my _______, I shall not ____.
2 He makes me _______________;
he leads me __________;
3 he restores __________.
He leads me _____________
for _____________.
4 Even though I ___________,
I fear no ________;
for you ____________;
your _________________—
they ___________.
5 You prepare a ____________
in the presence of ________;
you ____________;
my ___________.
6 Surely ____________ shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall _____________
my whole life long.
Take the trail less traveled and try writing a few psalms of your own. Write one on Monday and then write one on Friday. See how they compare.
Self-reflection is such an important, daily habit. Especially when it's combined with prayer.

Petrol-electric hybrid cars are being touted by Toyota and Honda as technology that can help eke out reserves of that precious commodity oil while taking better care of Planet Earth by reducing emissions.But the world's two largest car-makers -- General Motors and Ford -- haven't exactly made an iron-clad commitment to hybrids; not yet, anyway.
Ford says its corporate focus is on hydrogen-powered propulsion, a more sophisticated electric car technology that, for the real world, is still some time off.
In 2000, in an expansive display of its ever-greener environmental credentials, General Motors-owned Holden proudly showed off a hybrid-electric ECOmmodore car that had been co-developed with the CSIRO. Its boast: this was a big passenger car concept that uses 50 percent less fuel than a conventional V6 engine, while maintaining the same level of performance.
But four years later, we've neither seen nor heard a hint of any production-ready technology flowing from that much-trumpeted eco star.
Meanwhile, Toyota has already moved to its much-improved, second-generation Prius hybrid. And Honda has added a hybrid version to its Civic range. An Accord V6 hybrid producing more than the current V6 model's 177kW (but with thrifty four-cylinder economy) is also not far away, says Honda.
But back to the Big Two. At the launch of the ECOmmodore concept, Holden made no claims that this was a car that it planned to put into commercial production, just that it was a pointer to future development of energy-efficient vehicles. Along with the fuel saving, the combination of super-capacitors and an advanced lead-acid battery meant the vehicle had technology capable of reducing urban pollution by up to 90 percent. All good stuff. But where is it?
Most car makers believe the whole industry will need to eventually move to hydrogen fuel-cell technology. When this happens, the motor car, for the first time, will be removed from the environmental debate. Zero emissions across the industry will kill the criticism from greens.
The transition from petrol internal combustion engine to hydrogen fuel-cell power won't be made overnight, say the car makers. Along with the technology, there is a new infrastructure to be developed.
The car giants reckon it is still 20 to 30 years away. Hybrids appear to be having a growing role in the lengthy transition, at least with some car-makers.
While Holden has not announced any developments on the hybrid front, its silence can't be taken as an indication that it is ignoring the petrol-electric technology. Drive will be surprised if a production hybrid family-car version of the ECOmmodore doesn't appear in the foreseeable future.
It would give Holden a feel-good green tinge -- always an asset when dealing with various government bodies. There is also the prospect of some solid, if not stunning, government vehicle sales.
Though the latest Prius has been attracting more private buyers than the previous model, governments have been accounting for about 50 percent of its sales.
Ford Australia president Geoff Polites says there are still some issues with hybrids, including the life and recyclability of batteries.
Hydrogen fuel-cell technology -- on which Ford's engineering is focused -- could be employed in a production car now, says Polites, the slight catch being that a such a vehicle would cost about $600,000.
He says hybrid cars are an interim measure and that Ford prefers to focus on the ultimate solution, distant though it is.
For those consumers with a conscience about clean air and going easy on finite oil resources, Ford has a range of LPG Falcons, says Polities. They offer a 10 percent saving in greenhouse gases.
Maybe we shouldn't be too surprised to see so few car-makers gambling on a technology with marginal appeal to the majority of the public.
Back at that introduction of the ECOmmodore, a Holden spokesman observed that "a change in consumer sentiment, rather than technological advancement" would lead to production runs of the green car here.
Maybe we're being a little harsh here, but the average Holden punter doesn't necessarily come over as a sharing, caring, earth-friendly guy. Here's a stat to make the greens aware of the size of their task: last year, more private buyers bought V8 Holdens than they did V6 Holdens.
While Toyota and Honda have been prepared to educate and lead the market, some car makers clearly want customers queuing outside showrooms before they will produce hybrids commercially.
As one industry figure declared: "The public doesn't want to drive electric cars; they are boring to drive. They are smooth and efficient, but they are not fun cars; they don't make a nice noise, and they are not exciting. But when there is no alternative, they will buy electric cars."
