Marlins give up single to Mets rookie to lose in 12th
NEW YORK (AP) — The Miami Marlins had plenty of chances Sunday. They just wasted them all.
The Marlins were hitless in 12 at-bats with runners in scoring position and squandered an impressive outing by Tom Koehler in a 1-0, 12-inning loss into the New York Mets.
"We had opportunities to score early in the game and we had opportunities in the ninth. That's the difference," manager Mike Redmond said.
Slumping rookie Travis d'Arnaud hit a two-out single — only New York's seventh hit — in the 12th to give the Mets their third win in the four-game series.
Miami lost for the eighth time in 10 games and at 55-94 needs to win eight of its final 13 to avoid a 100-loss season.
Dillon Gee and Koehler took a pitchers' duel into the eighth inning before each team used five relievers to finish off the fifth extra-inning matchup this season between the NL East's worst teams.
The starters had batters flummoxed into the eighth. Both mixed breaking balls that dipped into the 70s with a fastball that reached 90 mph for Gee and 94 mph for Koehler. The result: flailing bats, awkward checked swings and a whole lot of softly hit baseballs.
"Obviously Gee's a real quality starter, and you want to limit as much as you can as far as hits and runs," Koehler said. "But no matter who you're facing you've got to put up zeroes until you win."
The Bronx-born Koehler was 0-4 with a 5.89 ERA in seven starts since beating the Mets Aug. 1 with six scoreless innings.
Pitching in front of more than 40 friends and family from the area — he grew up in New Rochelle and played college ball at Stony Brook — he was impressive against a team that had scored just 12 runs in the first seven games of a homestand.
Gee sent a soft line drive over a ducking Koehler's head with two outs in the third for the Mets' only baserunner.
Koehler allowed three hits in a career high-matching eight innings. He struck out five without walking a batter — he had gone six straight starts giving up at least two walks.
D'Arnaud came through after the two previous batters grounded into forceouts at the plate. New York had loaded the bases with no outs against Zach Phillip (0-1), making his third appearance for the Marlins.
"It's big. Extra-inning game, bases loaded, and just get that hit. It's an undescribable feeling," d'Arnaud said of his first walkoff hit in the major leagues. "More importantly it was a big win. Try to lead the Mets in the right direction."
Ryan Webb relieved after Lucas Duda walked to load the bases and got pinch-hitter Zach Lutz to ground to third base. Andrew Brown then grounded to first base, and the throw went home for the second out.
D'Arnaud, who singled in the 11th only to be stranded at third base, lined a soft single up the middle to give the Mets just their fifth win in the last 16 home games. The young catcher has only five hits in his last 28 at-bats.
Vic Black (1-0) pitched a perfect 12th inning for his first career win and finish the eight hitter.
Miami had runners on first and second with one out in the first, fourth and ninth innings, and had a runner on third and one out in the second.
In the ninth, Mets second baseman Daniel Murphy made two errors and the Marlins still couldn't score. Pinch-runner Adeiny Hechavarria was thrown out at third base for the first out of the inning.
"Even then, we still have first and second," Redmond said. "We still had options to score."
Gee has been stingy when he has allowed runners on base. Batters were just 3 of 28 with runners in scoring position coming and the Marlins were worse: hitless in seven at-bats against the right-hander.
Gee gave up six hits in 7 1-3 innings. He walked two and struck out eight, including four in a row between the second and third.
The two offensively challenged teams matched the Cubs and Reds for most times reaching extras this season. The Mets-Marlins' extras included 20 innings on June 8 and 15 on April 29.
NOTES: The Marlins are 19-32 in one-run games. … Mets manager Terry Collins said reliever Frank Francisco will be unavailable for several days after he was hit on the right hand by a line drive in the opener of Saturday's doubleheader. … The Marlins are 5-13 in extra innings. The Mets are 8-10.

Radio Luxembourg DJ, Stuart Henry, has set over 750 questions to test your knowledge of pop. The questions range from the dim and distant past to the present - so it's suitable for anyone from the oldest swinger to the youngest teenybopper. There's also a mystery tune to be identified.
Alex: It sounds like a pretty drab sort of program, but Bellflower has actually come up with something that can be described as good family entertainment, and not a space invader in sight - other than Boy George! The idea's very good, and there are only one or two minor problems. The first one is that the questions can't be updated and, second your answer needs to be spelled correctly otherwise you get it wrong. HIT
Alan H: As you answer the questions correctly, you're given the chance to guess another note in the mystery tune (which is played at the start of a game, once only). If you guess correctly the note's displayed on the musical score, halfway down the screen. Guess them all, and the mystery's solved. The best thing about this game is that it has nothing to do with aliens, ghosts or tanks. HIT
Alan G: What a good idea to have a computerised pop/rock quiz for a wide range. It's appeal is only limited to contemporary music fans, which should mean that most people could get enjoyment from it. The sound is a problem and makes guessing the mystery tune difficult. MISS

" Brand: Paul Mitchell / Product Line: Paul Mitchell Original / Type: Hair Shampoo / Contents: 300ml "
One of my problems with my hair is that I have very sensitive skin, not only on my face and body but also on my scalp. I would get small itchy sores on my head that I would feel compel to pick at. My hairdresser told me this is probably due to a mild allergy to my shampoo (as I don't use styling products) and stress. He said that if I didn't let my scalp heal I could end up with bald patches... Obviously that was a stylistic choice I wasn't going to make. It was then my hairdresser recommended Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Special Shampoo Classic to me.
I think it is common for many salons to have products on display that can be bought; my hairdresser is no different. Perhaps unlike some salons, he mainly stocked Paul Mitchell products, perhaps he was endorsed by the company, I am unsure. Many Paul Mitchell hair products, including shampoos and conditioners, are in white (sort of like an aerosol); this was the only product on the shelf that broke the combination, as a rather fat, round green plastic container with grey writing. There are other products in the same range, including 'firm hold' gels and a shaping cream with similar packaging exteriors, but my hairdresser never seems to have them in stock.
The idea behind this Paul Mitchell Tea Tree shampoo is that it combines natural essential oils to wash hair instead of harsh chemicals. The bottle informs you that it contains peppermint oil, tea tree oil and lavender oil. To delve a little bit into the science behind the three ingredients:
Tea tree oil, when applied topically, is a natural antiviral, antibacterial, anti-fungal, and antiseptic. It is taken from the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia (Narrowbark Ti-tree) which only grow in Australia.
Peppermint has a long list of medicinal uses when taken internally as a herbal supplement, but in oil form applied topically, it is thought to be an antiviral.
Lavender oil is an antiseptic and a pain reliever, and it can also be used on mild burns and insect bites and stings. It is also used in aromatherapy as a scent thought to help people relax.
When you flip the cap open and take a sniff it does smell very strongly of tea tree oil, with a bit of an undertone of peppermint, but I can't really sniff out the lavender particularly under those two very strong scents. The shampoo itself is a white liquid, not too runny or viscous, I would say about average as shampoos go. I have tried many types of shampoo, including medicinal ones, and I have found they don't tend to bubble up well due to the lack of detergents in them (and also tend to need two washes and rinses before my hair feels properly clean) but this Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Special shampoo bubbles up really well. The scent is even stronger when washing my hair and it was surprisingly pleasant, not too astringent as I thought it might be with tea tree oil. It also gives a mildly tingly feeling, which only reminded me of washing my hair with mouthwash (though I've not tried that yet). I have to say, the sores on my scalp stung a bit, but not as bad as I thought they would be compared to other shampoos.
I have quite short hair and I only needed one wash to get that squeaky clean feeling; I also tend not to use conditioner because of my hair's length, as the addition of conditioner does tend to make it seem lank and greasy. I mention this because I imagine multiple washes and the addition of other products would impact the effectiveness and the scent left on the hair. While my hair was drying the scent was still strong, but as it dried it did seem to evaporate. I don't mind this too much, as it was only ten years ago that my mum used to put tea tree oil on my head to ward away nits - sadly the scent only brings back bad associations. Tangentially, like tea-tree oil, lavender is thought to help eradicate head-lice as well. Maybe not something most people want to think about when using a 'luxury' shampoo?
For 300mls, the bottle lasted about a month and a half which is fair going for how frequently I wash my hair. I did find the bottle a bit chunky on my shower shelf, but not as bad as certain other bottles (like Tresemme) and it didn't go all gross like sadly many other bottles do to prolonged damp exposure.
As for the results on my scalp, I am happy to report that the little wounds on my head cleared up and vanished while I was using this. Obviously, I had to break the itch-scratch cycle as well, and if I had kept scratching at them this shampoo wouldn't have been much use at all. After the first few washes the initial stinging sensation seemed to abide, and after a while I forgot about it altogether. My hair is of quite a good quality as I don't style it or use heat products on it, so I didn't feel this shampoo brought out any special shine or depth to my hair colour as any other shampoo would have done. The scent wasn't particularly lingering either (which I wasn't too sad about).
The price is what put me off buying this product again after my initial problem was sorted out. Amazon retails this at £19.59 at time of writing, and it regularly goes for £15-£25 in salons. I paid somewhere around £22. If you have an itchy scalp or dandruff, it is worth the money, as it is effective without being harsh or overpoweringly scented. However, for an everyday shampoo, or a specialised one for coloured or heat-treated hair, this isn't really appropriate. I wouldn't recommend this for children either, unless they have a particular scalp condition, as there are cheaper ways to eradicate head-lice and that is not really what this shampoo was made for.
Overall, this is a very high quality shampoo from a high quality brand, and it lives up to the name of 'special shampoo'. In fact, it even won an award for "Best Shampoo - Dandruff" in 2008 and 2009. So, for anyone with a scalp condition, I couldn't recommend this enough, and it may also appeal to those interested in natural ways of cleansing your hair (though I have no idea if it is vegetarian/vegan friendly). However, special also has a dual meaning of 'not very often', and the price will ensure this won't become my newest everyday shampoo.

5 Very nice necklace.Very nice necklace, I love it!

4 daughters bdaymy daughter loved this necklace. really, really cute
4 Charming!This pendant necklace is super cute and charming. I ended up buying 3 of them because they will make lovely gift ideas, and of course I have to keep one for myself lol. I am really surprised by how strong the necklace chain is. It is a good size chain length for young girls or teens. However, I do find it a bit short for adult wear. It will most likely look better on an adult with a much longer chain, long enough for the pendant to sit just below your bust line. That would be perfect.

Former journalist and anti-apartheid activist, Helen Zille, in a recently released self-authored biography, has made interesting revelations in South African politics.
Helen Zille is a former South Africa's opposition Democratic Alliance (DA) political party leader and one of the most respected South African politicians. She is a member of the Western Cape Provincial Parliament; and has been the Premier of the province since 2009.
See Also: Straight And Blunt! These Are The Words Of Steve Biko
In her book titled Not Without a Fight, Helen reveals that it was of topmost priority for the DA to get Mamphela Ramphele into their party.
Analysts say that she dedicated a chunk of the book to all the attempts to get Ramphele over to the DA party.
Mamphela Ramphele is an academician, businesswoman, former anti-apartheid activist and politician. She is the wife of late African intellectual and hero, Steve Biko.
More revelations from the book as contained in SA reports include:
- Lindiwe Mazibuko's schemes in launching her campaign for DA leadership using media and "military operations" to destroy Mmusi Maimane's reputation.
- Zille's family house was a safe haven for ANC activists like Mcebisi Skwatsha, Nyami Booi, Cameron Dugmore and Tony Yengeni during the apartheid years.
- Zille's view that in 2001, Tony Leon, former DA leader was "captured" by remaining members of the New National Party in the DA after Marthinus van Schalkwyk and top NNP leaders deflected to the ANC.
- Apartheid's last spy chief and later director-general of the Western Cape, Niel Barnard, had a bunker furnished with plastic garden chairs where he and his confidants discussed their strategies for control of the province.
- Zille put together a secret group of advisers in the DA called "Some Day" who strategized ways to redeem the party from the NNP and Leon in 2005.

Helen Zille's book is set to hit book stores this week. The book launch is scheduled to take place at the Cape Town Press Club on Monday at noon.
The book also gave highlights on Zille's battles with anorexia in her younger days; as well as her fights as a student, journalist and politician over sexism and patriarchy.

York's labour party has launched its "War on Waste".
It's not a campaign about our rubbish bins, but stemmed from their concern about the council's overall level of debt.
They claim that since 2003 - when the Lib Dems took over - York's debts have risen by 87 per cent.
Apparently interest levels alone have reached almost 5 million a year.
The council's due to hold a meeting about it's overspend and cost cutting measures on Tuesday.

Revolutionary Cuban dictator, and polarized world figure Fidel Castro lived quite the luxurious life until his death on November 25th 2016 at the age of 90. At the time of his death, Fidel Castro's net worth was estimated at a whopping $9000 million. However, Castro strongly opposed that figure throughout his lifetime. More on that anon.
Fidel Castro Net Worth: Early Life And Rise To Political Power
Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz was born with a silver spoon on August 13, 1926 in Birán, Oriente. Literally, Castro never experienced poverty throughout his lifetime. His father was a wealthy sugar cane farmer who migrated to Cuba from Spain. Castro attended several boarding schools which offered topnotch education. However, he had more passion for non-classroom activities like baseball and managed to score mediocre grades.
Ironically, Castro also enjoyed reading as a child and soon developed an affinity towards politics. At the age of 12, he penned a letter to the then US President Franklin D. Roosevelt congratulating him on his victory. In the letter, Castro requested from the president a $10 bill which he had never seen before.
Castro's interest in politics grew further while he studied law at the University of Havana. As a law student he identified as an anti-imperialist. He began his political career by leading rebellious protests over the opposing right wing governments in Colombia and Dominican Republic. Later, Castro led a failed coup against the Moncada Barracks in 1953 in attempt to dethrone Cuban President Fulgencio Batista. Consequently, he was imprisoned for a year.
After Castro's release from prison, he teamed with his brother Raul Castro and formed a stronger revolutionary group in Mexico. At the second try, Castro unseated Batista and assumed as the country's Prime Minister. Castro served as Prime Minister from 1959 to 1976 and then as President from 1976 to 2008. He also became the first Secretary of Communist Party of Cuba from 1961 to 2011. Castro's brother Raul Castro took over the Presidential throne in 2008 and has since ruled the country.
In total, Fidel ruled over Cuba for 49 years, making him the third longest-ruling head of state behind Queen Elizabeth and the King of Thailand. The later also recently passed away which makes Queen Elizabeth the longest-ruling one alive.

Fidel Castro Net Worth: Wealthy Lifestyle
As stated earlier, Castro was born with a silver spoon. On his father's extensive sugar plantation where he was born and bred, was also a pub, hotel, primary school, post office, a cock fighting ring and a market store. It was more than an estate. The property measured over 25,000 acre and employed about 400 staff. In addition to the sugar plantation, Castro's father also owned several other landed properties in the city. His late father is buried on the property which is now called Castro Museum.
The original residential building on the plantation which dates 1915 was burnt down in 1954, however, it was replaced by an exact replica in 1974 (pictured).
Accustomed to luxe living, Castro equally built an empire of his own. However the ruler of the impoverished Cuba in an attempt to identify with his people, spoke more about his grandparents who according to him were exploited Galician peasants from Spain.
In 1995, Forbes estimated his net worth at $150 million and in 2013 at $1 billion. Following the release of Forbes' 2005 issue which put his numbers at $900 million, Castro was extremely fumed and threatened to sue the American publication. He took to TV to debunk what he claimed were outrageous speculations. In the interview, Castro said;
"It is so ridiculous to say I have a fortune of $900 million, a fortune with no heirs……If they can prove that I have a bank account abroad, with $900 million, with $1 million, $500,000, $100,000 or $1 in it, I will resign…..If they prove that I have a single dollar, I'll resign my post… there will be no need for plans or transitions…"

Castro owned vast residential properties in his country. Among them include a chalet in Pinar del Río, a home with a private marina in Cayo Piedra, and La Deseada.
His best known property was his retiring home Punto Cero translated Point Zero. The 75-acre gated estate included a cow farm, a golf course and an orchard with mandarin, orange, grapefruit, banana and lemon trees.
However, Castro's final residence was concealed even from Cubans as a result of the endless assassination attempts he faced mostly from the United States of America. Castro survived a whopping 600 assassination attempts which included poisoned milkshakes and exploding cigars. Apparently, Castro was far from just a dictator, he was superhuman and his legacy, we dare say, would surly live on…

Tent city housing protest 4.
(photo credit:Ben Hartman)
The tent demonstrations that popped up on Rothschild Boulevard in Tel Aviv and then spread to other parts of the country are an exciting development in the eyes of many of us, who have become pessimistic and a little cynical with age. At long last, the predominantly secular, social-liberal section of Am Yisrael – which carries more than its share of the country's security and economic burdens, and in recent years has been delegitimized by right-wing circles and accused by religious circles of immoral hedonism – is proudly raising its head.The leaders of the demonstrations are neither hardcore politicians nor experienced social activists, and some of the ideas they have expressed with great enthusiasm are naïve and even childish, but they have brought a breath of fresh air into this hot summer.

This invention relates to road use charging apparatus, that is apparatus to enable charges to be made for the use and general movement of vehicles on roads.
Increasing consideration is being given to the possibility of charging vehicle users for the use of vehicles on certain roads or at certain times. A number of proposals for such road charging systems have been made. These include systems requiring the provision of sensors and transducers along the road system whereby charges can be determined for road use by individual vehicles. Some systems involve the use of a meter within the vehicle which is controlled and activated by the transducers located along the road way. Other systems require a transponder mounted in the vehicle whereby a central control system can monitor vehicle movements and charge appropriately.
There are two problems related to the introduction of a road use charging system of the kinds mentioned above. Firstly, the expense of installing the necessary, infrastructure for a fully automated system in a large city for example would be very high. Secondly, there is perceived to be substantial public resistance to the imposition of a fully automated system which could have the effect of providing a record of individual vehicle movements throughout a city. Also, an automated system could give rise to substantial mistrust of the charging process.
Simpler systems have been proposed which could avoid the need for the substantial capital expenditure on infrastructure, but there remain problems of reliability and flexibility of such simple systems as well as satisfactorily control and enforcement.
According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided road use charging apparatus for use in a vehicle comprising storage means to store a record of the number of credit units used, debiting means arranged when initiated to debit credit units in said storage means, selection means for selecting the rate relative to road usage at which credit units are to be debited in said storage means, and visual indicator means having a geometrically segmented display showing the debiting rate currently employed by the debiting means, the charging apparatus being adapted for location of the visual indicator means relative to the vehicle so that said display is visible from the roadside as the vehicle passes, the display being sufficiently prominent to be readable from the roadside at town driving speeds. Typically, the display is an alphanumeric display.
Thus, this aspect of the invention can provide a relatively simple and cheap apparatus for mounting in a vehicle which can be set and activated to record road usage as the debiting of credit units in the storage means of the apparatus. Importantly, the apparatus has a geometrically segmented or alphanumeric display arranged to be located and sufficiently prominent to be readily readable from the roadside as the vehicle goes past at normal town driving speeds. This display is arranged to show the debiting rate (or road use charging rate) to which the apparatus is currently set. This enables easy supervision and monitoring of the charging apparatus by roadside staff of a controlling authority, perhaps traffic police or traffic wardens. The cost of each charging apparatus could be kept quite low to minimise the cost of initial installation to vehicles, and the infrastructure cost to a controlling authority could also be minimal, requiring only adequate marking of the controlled roadways to notify vehicle drivers of the charging rate to be selected on their charging apparatus. The selected charging rates are preferably rates based on the time spent on a charged road way, rather than distance travelled.
Very preferably, the charging apparatus includes initiating means which is non-selectively operable by a driver of the vehicle to initiate said debiting means to debit at said debiting rate preselected by said selection means and simultaneously to show said rate on the display. With this arrangement, the act of selection of the appropriate charging rate can be separated from the act of initiating debiting at the selected rate. This is important in minimising driver distraction when operating the charging apparatus. Furthermore, it ensures the driver can have complete control over the apparatus which is considered to be a desirable attribute of the present system.
Normally, the apparatus includes an interior display means to indicate to the driver said debiting rate currently employed, said interior display means being adapted to indicate both the debiting rate (if any) currently employed and said preselected rate if different.
Conveniently also, said selection means is operable by the driver. Then said selection means may be arranged for selecting between a plurality of predetermined successively incremental rates and may include a pair of buttons for increasing and for decreasing respectively the preselected rate to the rate next above or below. Conveniently then the apparatus includes means to generate an audible tone on each depression of one of the pair of buttons. The tone for increasing the preselected rate may be audibly distinguishable from the tone for decreasing. In this way, the driver should be able to preselect the required charging rate without looking at the interior display.
Alternatively, or more preferably in addition, the apparatus may include a receiver for debiting rate signals transmitted from outside the vehicle by a controlling authority, said selection means being responsive to reception of said signals to preselect the debiting rate indicated by said signals. Then, said selection means may include means operable by the driver for switching said selection means to a mode in which it is responsive to said received signals. With this arrangement it can be seen that the driver still has full control. On the one hand, the driver will still be required to operate said initiating means to initiate debiting at a newly selected rate just received by the receiver. Further, on the other hand, the driver can in fact choose not to select said mode in which the selection means respond automatically to the received debit rate signals.
Still further, the apparatus may include means operable by the driver for switching said selection means to a mode in which it is responsive to said received signals and in which said initiating means automatically initiates said debiting means to debit at the debiting rate indicated by said signals. Thus, for a driver who has full confidence in automated operation of the charging apparatus, a further mode is available which eliminates any involvement on the part of the driver in changing charging rates.
In a preferred embodiment, said debiting means is arranged to continue operating at the previously selected rate, following initiation at a lower selected rate or deactivation, until a predetermined minimum period of time has passed since initiation at said previously selected rate. With this arrangement it can be seen that credit units will continue to be debited for the predetermined minimum period of time following first initiation of the debiting means, or following initiation at a higher selected charging rate. Turning off the debiting means, or changing to a lower charging rate will have no effect until the minimum period has passed. After the minimum period has expired, selection of a lower rate can be initiated immediately. Selecting a higher rate than the one currently employed can always be initiated immediately. By this arrangement, any temptation to operate the charging apparatus at a lower than required charging rate is greatly reduced. Further, the requirement for the controlling authority to provide roadside supervision is eased. For example, complete supervision will be provided by locating supervision points only at intervals about the controlled road system corresponding in distance roughly to the distance travelled by a vehicle during said predetermined minimum period of time.
Preferably also, said visual indicator means is arranged to assume a preliminary indicating mode for a predetermined period of time following initiation of the debiting means. For example, the visual indicator means may provide a flashing display for the first 10 to 30 seconds following initiation. In this way, it can readily be determined from the roadside that the driver of a vehicle has only recently initiated charging at the displayed rate. This should be a further disincentive to drivers to delay selecting the appropriate rate after entering a particular zone.
Conveniently, the apparatus includes interface means for interfacing with a removable credit enabling device carrying alterable machine readable indications of the number of new credit units available for debiting and control means arranged to enable said debiting means only if all the debit units available from the credit enabling device have not been debited in the storage means. With such an arrangement, the vehicle driver can use credit units provided for example on a credit card or smart card constituting the credit enabling device. This permits a prepayment charging system for example.
Thus, in another aspect of the present invention there is provided road use charging apparatus for use in a vehicle, comprising storage means to store a record of the number of credit units used, a debiting means for debiting the credit units in said storage means at a selected rate, visual indicator means having a display showing when said debiting means is operative with credit units being debited in said storage means, the charging apparatus being adapted for location of the visual indicator means relative to the vehicle so that said display is visible from the roadside as the vehicle passes, the display being sufficiently prominent to be readily observed from the roadside at town driving speeds, interface means for interfacing with a removable credit enabling device carrying alterable machine readable indications of the number of new credit units available for debiting and control means arranged to enable said debiting means only if all the credit units available from the credit enabling device have not been debited in the storage means.
In one arrangement, the control means may be arranged to alter said indications carried by a credit enabling device interfaced with the interface means to deduct at least one from said indicated number of available credit units and to record the deducted unit or units in said storage means. More typically, all the credit units indicated by the credit enabling device may be deducted and recorded in said storage means. The control means may then be further arranged to enable undebited credit units remaining in the storage means to be recorded on the credit enabling device before its removal from the interface means.
In another arrangement, said storage means is provided in a said credit enabling device and is connected to form part of said apparatus when the device is interfaced with said interface means. An example of such an arrangement would employ a smart card as the credit enabling device.
In a further development, the control means may be arranged to read an authorisation code carried by the credit enabling device and to enable said debiting means only if the authorisation code is correct. There may then be further provided a remote verification interface to enable checking of said authorisation code by communication with portable verification apparatus from outside the vehicle.
The apparatus may comprise a housing for the apparatus carrying said indicator means and a cradle to receive and support the housing and adapted to be secured behind the windscreen of a vehicle so that the display of the visual indicator means is visible through the windscreen when the housing is located in the cradle.
The above described apparatus may comprise an interior control panel with buttons or keypads or the like forming the selection means for selecting or preselecting the debiting rate and the initiating means for starting or stopping the debiting means. The physical shape and relationship of the buttons or keys may be designed to allow drivers to identify the keys by touch. Since in a preferred arrangement, a charging rate can be preselected, the driver is able to set a rate at any convenient time prior to entering the controlled zone.
The apparatus may provide for an operational procedure permitting the selection of double digit numbers for example. For example, the driver would select the first digit of the number, press a combination of two buttons or an optional special button to hold the first digit in memory and then select the second digit, thereby preselecting a charging rate identified by the double digit code. The interior display and on initiation the visual indicator would then display the two digits together or by alternating between the two digits.
The control panel may additionally provide a display for indicating to the driver the remaining number of credit units available for debiting.
An example of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the housing and cradle of the apparatus, the view being taken from inside a vehicle in which the apparatus is mounted,
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the housing and cradle, the view being taken from outside the vehicle in which the apparatus is mounted,
FIG. 3 is an exterior view of a display panel for an alphanumeric display of the apparatus,
FIG. 4 shows the apparatus fitted in position on the interior surface of a vehicle windscreen,
FIG. 5 shows an internal control panel of the apparatus,
FIG. 6 is a functional block diagram of the apparatus,
FIG. 7 is a functional block diagram of a modified form of the apparatus, using radio transmission to select the debiting rate,
FIG. 8 shows schematically a pre-payment card for use with the apparatus, and
FIG. 9 shows schematically a "smart" card for use with the apparatus.
Referring particularly to FIGS. 1 and 2, the apparatus comprises a housing 10 shaped to present an external display panel 11 and an interior display panel 12. The lower part 13 of the casing is receivable within an upwardly open slot in a cradle 14, into which the housing is a push fit.
The cradle 14 has adhesive strip surfaces 15 (FIG. 2) by which the cradle 14 can be attached to the interior surface of a vehicle glass windscreen 16, as illustrated in FIG. 4. In this position, the exterior display panel 11 can be readily seen by an observer outside the vehicle, whilst the interior display panel 12 can be readily viewed by the vehicle driver.
The apparatus may be powered by a battery housed within the housing 10 or from the vehicle battery by means of a connector 17 located in the base of the cradle 14 and linked by wiring to the vehicle battery or to the vehicle cigar lighter socket. The top of the casing of the unit 10 has an elongated slot 18 to receive a card of the form shown in FIG. 8 or 9.
The experior display panel 11 has a plurality of areas which form an alphanumeric display 19 and which are selectively illuminated to display a numeral between nought and nine or letters or other symbols. The exterior display panel 11 also has a verification interface 20 for checking the authenticity of the unit 10. The interface 20 may include a hologram image for visual inspection and verification, or it may alternatively comprise a light sensitive cell or electromagnetically sensitive device, linked to an electronic circuit within the housing, which is activated only by specifically coded patterns of light or electromagnetic emission from suitable checking equipment and which will cause an indication to be emitted by the apparatus confirming its authenticity. The interface 20 may be arranged to emit an authorisation code read from the card inserted in the slot 18.
The exterior display panel 11 additionally includes an option element or elements 22 which can be used for desired additional indications such as to indicate additional levels of debiting rates. A personalisation strip 23 (FIG. 3), such as is included on charge cards, may be provided on the display panel 11 to permit owners to mark the unit with an indelible identifying mark, such as their vehicle registration number, to deter theft.
The internal control-panel 12 has selection means in the form of a pair of rate selector buttons 24 which are pressed to preselect a debiting rate, and rate selection indicators 25 (in the form of a row of lights) indicate the debiting rate preselected. An "activate" button 26 and a "cancel" or "off" button 27 start or stop the debiting circuit, respectively. A rate and message indicator 28 displays the current debiting rate and is available to display other messages to the user. A panel 29 indicates the remaining credit. Touch key pads may be used instead of buttons on the panel 12.
FIG. 6 is a block diagram of the functions of the apparatus. A logic board 31 includes storage means in the form of a credit memory 30, a debiting circuit 32 and a display activator 33 which controls the external display panel 11. An audio signal generator 34 provides an audible beep on each operation, thus enabling the user to select a charging rate without looking at the unit 10. The optional battery is indicated diagrammatically at 35 in FIG. 6, and the interface with the card, by which credit units in the memory 30 are incremented, is shown at 36.
In the basic form of the device illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 6, the user preselects the debiting rate by means of the rate selector buttons 24. In the modification illustrated in FIG. 7, the selection of a debiting rate may be optionally assisted by an auto-assist facility, diagrammatically indicated at 37, comprising a radio receiver 38 capable of receiving electromagnetic signals which automatically preselect a current debiting rate. When this auto-assist facility is provided, the device preferably has an auto/manual selection switch 39 on the internal display panel 12 (Fig.5). The switch 39 allows the activation and de-activation of the selection means to be initiated by the reception of signals from fixed transmission points.
Signals broadcast by the local authority from fixed transmission points with the appropriate debiting rate for a particular locality and time are received by the unit 10, and cause the appropriate rate to be preselected without manual selection. Such signals may for example be broadcast on a wide coverage basis, or locally on a cellular principle, or very locally on a lane by lane basis. Means are provided for the user to select manual override or auto-assisted modes as desired. Activation and de-activation of the debiting circuit, i.e. initiation at a newly selected rate, can remain manually controlled at all times.
It will be appreciated that the auto-assist means require only means for the receipt of generated signals, not for transmission or signals from the vehicle. This reduces the power demand on on-board equipment, reduces risks of malfunction, and preserves anonymity for the user.
It will be readily appreciated that the auto-assisted version of the apparatus can be satisfactorily operated manually in areas where appropriate signal emitting infrastructure has not been provided, for example, in smaller towns, or in areas where there are difficulties in providing such infrastructure, or where the costs of providing such infrastructure are not thought worthwhile. In such localities users with auto-assisted versions of the device will be expected to select manual override.
It will also be readily appreciated that standard manual versions of the device can be used in areas where appropriate signal emitting infrastructure has been provided, and that users will have obtained a familiarity with the manual system prior to introduction of an auto-assisted system. The system may therefore be introduced initially in a locality as a low-cost manual system without signal emitting infrastructure, in order to test efficiency or public acceptability, without prior commitment to further expenditure. When the low-cost system has been successfully established a local authority may then decide at any future time to introduce signal emitting infrastructure for operation or cost-benefit reasons, and users will be able to obtain the auto-assisted version of the apparatus. The manual apparatus will however still be usable and may be phased out gradually, thereby reducing initial expenditure. Users will of course be familiar with the manual version and this will enhance public acceptability of the auto-assisted apparatus.
In a further alternative operational mode of the auto-assisted apparatus, a special procedure such as the holding down of the auto-manual switch for an extended period, typically one second, may provide for fully automatic activation by the apparatus of the debiting circuit, at appropriate debiting rates as automatically preselected, without manual intervention. The user may release the device from fully automatic operation at any time by appropriate operation of the auto/manual switch.
In a further alternative version of the apparatus a parking mode is provided, whereby suitable selection means such as a switch 40 (FIG. 5) is provided which if operated in conjunction with the rate selector buttons 24 allows debiting to take place at rates other than those used for moving vehicles. Debiting at such rates will cause an appropriate prominent indication on the exterior display panel 11, for example by activation of a particular indicating element, such as the option element 22 (FIG. 4), or by causing the display to alternate between two configurations, the first configuration indicating the particular parking debiting rate and the second indicating that the parking mode is in effect.
A pre-payment card 42 of the form shown in FIG. 8 is used to input credit units into the storage means of the logic board. For this purpose, the card 42 is inserted into the slot 18 and a physical or electronic code on the card causes the memory circuit to be incremented with credit units. The debiting circuit 32 can be activated only so long as credit units remain in the credit memory 30. As indicated in FIG. 8, the pre-payment card has a register 43 containing the number of pre-paid units, an authentication and voiding unit 44 and a section 45 which interfaces with the section 36 of the unit 10, although other means of transmitting credit units can be employed according to the state of the art.
The apparatus can also be configured to accept a credit card of the type known as a "smart" card, as illustrated at 46 in FIG. 9. The card 46 is retained in the slot 18 when the unit 10 is in use. The card 46 has a read/write memory or store 47 and units are debited from the store when the unit 10 is in use. The card 46 again has an authentication and voiding unit 44 and an interface section 45 which co-operates with the section 36 of the unit 10. This type of credit card is distinct from the pre-paid type of card shown in FIG. 8. In either case, the unit 10 will recognise the type of card introduced, and as appropriate either transfer credit units in one step from a pre-paid type of card to the internal memory 30, or will deduct units according to actual use from the memory or store 47 incorporated in the smart card 46.
When the cradle 14 is correctly fitted to the vehicle windscreen 16, and the unit 10 is correctly inserted in the cradle 14, the exterior display panel 11 can easily be observed from the roadside or other suitable observation point. The alphanumeric display 19 is of sufficient size and brightness to allow an observer standing at the roadside to easily determine the numeral displayed on the exterior display panel 11, regardless of the reasonable speed of the vehicle or the ambient lighting conditions. The design of the display elements also facilitates identification of the debiting rate through recognition of the display panel configuration by an electronic optical recognition device such as a roadside video camera attached to suitable equipment, thereby enabling installation of equipment which can automatically detect and record photographically any vehicles not displaying the appropriate charging rate. By use of the rate selector buttons 24, the vehicle driver can select an appropriate debiting rate which is indicated by the display of a corresponding number between nought and nine, both on the external display panel 11 and on the rate indicator lights 24 and the current rate display 28.
The debiting rate may be stipulated for example according to particular time periods, or to particular areas, to direction of flow, or a combination of the preceding.
It is envisaged that public authorities may control or charge for the use of roads or bridges by introducing legislation requiring vehicles to carry a road meter such as the apparatus described herein, the housing 10 to be affixed in the vehicle in a stipulated position, and that on entering the road or area the apparatus must be activated at the correct debiting rate.
Thus solely by way of illustrative example a city authority may require that all vehicles using roads within certain parts of the city at certain periods shall carry an approved apparatus to display proof of debiting at the correct debiting rate.
The debiting rate may however be varied at any time according to circumstances by the local authority or road owner simply by the display of notices advising users of vehicles of changes in the requirements.
A vehicle which did not display proof of debiting could be immediately stopped by a police officer or traffic officer, or its registration number noted for prosecution.
A time delay in the apparatus is incorporated to ensure that the lights on the exterior display panel 11 are flashed on and off, for an initial short predetermined period of time (typically between 10 and 30 seconds) after switching on and activation of a particular debiting rate, thereby avoiding the possibility of users attempting to avoid activation of the apparatus until seeing an officer. The display reverts to normal display mode after the predetermined period of time.
A further time delay is incorporated in the unit 10 to cause the debiting circuit to run for a minimum predefined period of time after activation at a particular rate. This will produce a minimum charging block for fiscal purposes, but will also assist enforcement since spot-checks need only to be positioned at intervals corresponding to the typical distance covered by a vehicle during the minimum charging period, thus an area can be effectively monitored with relatively few personnel or cameras.
Appropriate legislation would permit the local authority to enforce the requirements described herein.
Tickets or cards would be sold by local authorities and charged for according to the number of credit units embodied within each ticket or card. The sale of such tickets or cards could be controlled centrally, or via intermediary agents such as petrol stations, shops, post offices etcetera. The unit 10 itself could also be sold or temporarily rented out via such agents. Special versions of the apparatus could be produced for special categories of vehicle such as coaches, goods vehicles, etc. operating at special debiting rates.
In an alternative form of the apparatus, the meter would not rely on pre-payment, but would simply register the total number of units consumed, for reading at regular intervals.
The reading could be done in several ways, for example:
(1) the meter could be read manually in situ, like an electricity meter,
(2) a ticket or smart card could be inserted which reads the current meter reading, and the card is then sent to a billing office where the reading is taken and the bill issued,
(3) the meter could be read electronically in situ by connection to a suitable electronic device designed for the purpose. (The device would have a probe for insertion into the meter, either in the shape of a card for insertion into the card slot, or a separate connection for which a socket would be provided in the meter). The data extracted could be transcribed into conventional paper records or in the case of larger companies be transmitted by modern or other electronic form to the central billing office if required.
Although only nine rates of normal debiting are possible on the unit 10 as illustrated, since more rates would unduly distract a driver in the manual form of the apparatus, additional tiers such as the addition of a notional value of ten to all rates may be allowed for use of the option element 22. Thus, an additional switch or operational procedure in the rate selectors button 24 or activate button 26 may be incorporated to enable the user to select an additional tier. Such selection would be in response to road signs in the manual version or would be selected automatically in the auto-assisted version. The option element 22 would signify that debiting is taking place at the appropriate rate.

The Black Farmer and a sausage ad like no other
After months of anticipation, Big Eyes and Tony Kaye's ad for The Black Farmer is now out and, yes, it is unlike any sausage ad you've ever seen
Regular readers will remember our interview with The Black Farmer aka Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones in our February issue. Emmanuel-Jones talked about his upcoming commercial, written by Martin Galton of ad agency Big Eyes and shot, at Emmanuel-Jones' insistence, by Tony Kaye.
"I want to challenge stereotypes about what it means to black and British. [The ad] celebrates rural Britain and making things that appear to be uncool cool," Emmanuel-Jones promised us. "I didn't want a standard food ad. If I'm going be in it then I wanted people to think 'what the fuck is that about'?"
Well, here it is:

On Saturday, former University of Michigan wide receiver Freddy Canteen revealed via Twitter that he is transferring to Notre Dame.
Thank You Lord.. God, Country, Notre Dame.. #GoIrish pic.twitter.com/q0aQLbtpfL
— CANTEEN🐾 (@FreddCanteen_) February 12, 2017
Canteen originally came to the Wolverines as a 4-star recruit in 2014. In two seasons at Michigan, he caught only six passes and scored one touchdown. Since he is on pace to graduate from Michigan in May, he will be able to suit up for Notre Dame immediately.

I've been home for nearly one week and our two week holiday seems to have happened months ago! It was wonderful though, to spend time with my little family without any interruption of work and school. My children are young teenagers and anyone with young teenagers knows you don't always get to spend a lot of time with them (except when they want something!). They spend all day at school, come home and lock themselves away in their bedrooms, only to emerge for food! So it was wonderful to have this time with them. I suppose that's what holidays are for.
We stayed in Sidari, Corfu. Sidari is quite a commercialised resort but very friendly and Corfu is a small island so we were able to see quite a bit of it using the local tour buses. These photos were taken in Kassiopi and Paloekastritsa. Fabulous clear blue waters and no rain! To be honest it was so lovely to come home to a grey day. Now I'm looking forward to lighting the fire and getting all snuggly at home.
Talking about snuggly, my sister Belinda has been working on her new website,
A wonderful warm, cosy eiderdown required in the UK...perhaps not in Corfu!
Hope your holidays were great fun too, Lucyxx

Published by SerenaYasha in the blog SerenaYasha's blog. Views: 115
I don't know where to post this in the forum plus not sure how to explain what i want.
the song is for my story. i can't decide if i want to just describe the song or actually write out what the words to the song.
it suppose to a song that a magic spell (incantation) to remove a curse. i want to readers to not be able to tell if the song will work thats way depending on how you feel could be a happy or sad song.
the singer is suppose to be singing about the couple who is cursed ( she is not part of the couple but knows them)
I want reference to rewinding time, wish to change the past, removing the mask of fear, stop ignore what they know,
I know I want " what's done is done now be undone" in the lyrics and how tragic the couple can't live with or without each other cursing them in more ways then one
I had times where i thought up lyrics but then forgot what they before i could write them down.
any advice

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: Can you get a water leak from the timing gasket cover?? on 2001 Mazda B3000
Ok I can drive my truck and it will leak anti freeze but its not coming from the radiator I check it and its fine but it keeps emptying out the resivor even when its parked it still leaks...but never emptys the radiator I keep thinking water pump then I have someone tell me it could be the timing gasket but dont make sense because you would think there would be some type of oil leak or oil in the water but theres none at all does anyone have any ideas at all about this I personally think these people are just really wanting to charge me alot more than what the problem actually is?? Im not good with engine work so any help would be greatly appreciated Thank you
First thing I think of is that the radiator cap is faulty. Unless it's relatively new, get a new one. It only costs a few bucks and it's easy. It likely will cure the problem.
Thank you and I will give it a try..
Ok I tried that and its still leaking but cant see where from my biggest question is can water actually leak from the timing cover? I have never heard of it but again Im not to good with the newer vechiles blah..............
I had the same problem a few months ago. I carried my b3000 to my local ford dealer and sure enough it was my timing gasket! They had to take the whole front off my truck to fix it. My water pump was fine but had them replace it while they had my truck apart. My 2001 B3000 has just over 526,000 miles on it. Its a good truck and this is the first time I have done any work to it besides changing the oil. My total cost for the repair was just over $900.00. I nearly fainted!!!!!!

A PERTH taxi driver experienced a night from hell when he was threatened and robbed last night.
Perth City Detectives are seeking any information from the public after a driver was threatened with a knife and robbed on Pier Street about 10.15pm last night after refusing to take a man to Perth.
"The taxi driver advised the man he was unable to take him as he already had a job, at which time the man produced a knife and demanded cash," a WA Police spokesman said.
"The offender entered the taxi and an altercation took place.
"The taxi driver ran from his vehicle and the offender ran from the scene after stealing a coin holder."
Police have described the offender as a 183cm male with tanned skin, with shoulder length brown curly hair and wearing a blue "Everlast' jumper and a cap.
Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

- Artist: Ron Hester
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 9/2/2008
|your cart is empty
'Breathing' collects five songs written while Ron was living in the East Village (NYC). The lyrics and musical inspiration came from the elements at hand: late nights at 7B, E. 6th st, reflections on 9/11, crazy actors & spoiled models, Bruce the cat, unemployment, an old copy of 'A Farewell to Arms,' and quarreling below the window. The CD was recorded and produced by good friends Keith Hanlon (Orchestraville, Black Swans) and Jason Gonzales (Lilly Bandits). They also supplied some amazing performances, along with Ron's former bandmate Pat Kenney (The Repairmen, Lollipop Factory). Reviews for Ron Hester's previous release 'In Between': '...Hester sounds vocally like he spent time in the Lou Reed school of crooning, but he is a good songwriter with a nice collection of acoustic-based rock tunes, most notably the powerful 'Stupid Stories'.' - Andrew Aber, The Village Voice '...at the intersection of indie-rock and alt-country, is Ron Hester, a talented performer...' - Curtis Fields, The Washington Post '...It's just that in an era overly concerned with outhipping the hip, it's sometimes pleasant to see or hear a simple idea executed well. Ron Hester's music is simple and effective, and he makes no attempt to make apologies or excuses for it. There's no need to: 'In Between' won't leave you feeling conflicted... just satisfied.' - Jenn Sikes, Splendid E-zine.

Even 'passively educating' from the context of a fictional story has tremendous value.

A short time later, Joanne was blessed to meet Ivan Hayden – the creator of "Divine: The Series", Independent film-maker Richard Olak, creator of "The Battle of Burgledorf", and other inspiring creatives. Over the last eight years, her feathered companions have appeared in everything from feature-length films, a Dodge-RAM commercial, the tv series "Siberia", to the upcoming "Bad Timing" music-video for breakout artist Michael Brock.
Accompanying Joanne will "Team Feathers" in its entirety. 'Jarih', a female Saker Falcon, Capt'n 'Sabre' - a male Gyrfalcon, and of course, 'Mohave', a Red Tail buzzard (usually referred to as Red Tail hawks).

Underground rap veteran Aesop Rock is back with Skelethon, his sixth LP and first in five years. We've previously heard the great singles 'Zero Dark Thirty' and 'ZZZ Top', and now the entire album is available to stream via Rhymesayers' YouTube. The release has unfortunate timing, with Frank Ocean's masterpiece Channel Orange currently dominating headlines and headphones, but that doesn't change the fact that Aes has come back with a remarkably strong album. For the first time on an Aesop Rock album, there are no Blockhead or El-P beats to be heard here, with Aes handling production duties himself. And he does an admirable job, switching between samples and live instrumentation, psychedelic guitars and horror keys, 808s and drum thrashes. You won't even find the expected cameos here, as aside from Kimya Dawson's (The Moldy Peaches) great turn on 'Crows 1', Skelethon is all Aes. This is a good thing, as his rapping has arguably never been better, and Aes's vivid, dark lyrics are as typically dense and study-worthy as ever. While former Def Jux CEO and pal El-P set the bar rather high for 2012 hip-hop with his superb Cancer For Cure – as well as his hand in Killer Mike's R.A.P. Music – Aesop Rock has delivered a focussed, worthy comeback album which deserves just as much praise.
Skelethon is out now. Stream it below.

Andrei Karenin
Andrei is a model who arrived for the first time three or four years ago. Still a twink, he was delicate, slender, and eager to please. He fell off the radar and then I discovered that he'd filmed several episodes for Hammer Entertainment. After this, he stopped shooting and disappeared completely. Because Andrei came through a scout that I use regularly, I asked the scout to keep an eye on him. Andrei eventually returned, like a ghost from the past. This time he came not as a limber youth, but an athletic young man – still as beautiful, still as cuddly – and started to shoot for us. So, he will shoot and shoot regularly with us – both as a top and as a bottom. Andrei isn't a temperamental and fast lover. Rather, he is deliberate, gentle and methodological. He is of Russian ancestry, though only one of his parents is Russian and the other is Czech. He lives in the Czech Republic, but also speaks fluent Russian.

Cylinder Kits
Team Factory for Scooter
Race Ready – Hand Finished
The Best of Malossi's Cylinder Kits
Team Factory, the synthesis of many years of racing research and development, is a special product line of cylinder kits from Malossi, handmade in limited quantities, and intended solely for scooter racing. The new cylinder kits Team Factory are the result of further development and refinement of Malossi products specifically selected and developed for the Malossi Trophy. Extreme attention is paid to the machining of these products, so much so that they show the full potential of Malossi's research and experience, from material selection to production processes, the level of precision to the rigorous final quality testing.
The cylinder is one of the most important and most complex parts that make up the kit Trophy.
The port and exhaust diagram values must be within tolerances of 5 hundredths of a millimetre. To obtain these infinitesimal values it is essential to tweak both exhaust and transfer ports one by one, with dental tools, which only expert technicians can perform.
Only perfect cylinders, subjected to the most sophisticated and rigorous controls, become Malossi Team Factory. The cylinder and piston coupling is strictly maintained within a tolerance of 5 microns, the roundness of the cylinder within 5 microns and the cylinder bore may not exceed the second-class selection.
Even the compound head is machined and subjected to very stringent quality tests, intended to check mainly the squish and compression.
