CINCINNATI -- The president of a Cincinnati high school mourning the death of a Notre Dame football recruit who fell from a hotel balcony called the teenager a "gentle giant" and praised his leadership abilities on Friday during a visitation for him.
Hundreds of mourners waited in line at the St. Xavier High School's chapel for hours to pay their respects to Matt James, a 6-foot-8, 290-pound offensive lineman who fell over a fifth-floor railing a week ago while on spring break in Panama City Beach, Fla., school personnel said.
"He really was a gentle giant," said the school's president, the Rev. Tim Howe, as he struggled to keep his emotions under control. "He always had a kind word."
Howe stepped outside the visitation for James, a 17-year-old senior who was scheduled to enroll at Notre Dame in June, to speak with reporters who weren't permitted on school grounds and had gathered across the street. He praised James' qualities of leadership and faith, his voice breaking at times as he talked of the teen and the school community's grief.
He said the school was prepared to help students when they returned from spring break, starting with a Mass on Monday morning. He said grief counselors would be on hand and the football and basketball teams had gathered a couple of times to tell stories and say what they wanted to say.
Howe said he hoped to extend the gatherings to the full student body next week.
"Their grief will be real and present when they return and in the days ahead," he said.
James was the second St. Xavier student to die this school year, after junior wrestler Kevin Le was struck by a car and killed in September, Howe said.
"Sad to say, but it's getting so we can kind of know what to do in this situation," he said.
James was drunk April 2 when he leaned over the balcony railing and fell, police said.
An autopsy showed James died of brain injuries. A medical examiner's office in Florida has said it will take up to three months to get toxicology tests completed showing James' blood-alcohol content.
James was in Panama City Beach with six adults and 40 fellow students from the high school. His high school coaches, teammates and teachers say he should be remembered for his hard work, leadership and loyalty, not the way he died.
Students held an impromptu vigil at the football field next to the school the night of his death, and his former football and basketball teammates held a private prayer service led by the school's chaplain the following day.
At the visitation on Friday, one of James' coaches read from a journal the player kept and referred to him as a superhero, school spokesman Mark Motz said.
James' funeral was scheduled for Saturday at St. Xavier Church in downtown Cincinnati.

After 20,000 people witnessed 'Heroes' at Glastonbury 2016, a rare tour of Philip Glass' seldom-performed orchestral re-imagining of Bowie's music moves indoors to three celebrated UK venues.
Philip Glass: Heroes Symphony / Low Symphony
Charles Hazlewood conducts the Army of Generals and members of the British Paraorchestra.
A Celebration of David Bowie: Philip Glass' Heroes Symphony / Low Symphony
Sat 10 December 2016 – Colston Hall, Bristol
Mon 12 December 2016 – Royal Concert Hall, Nottingham
Wed 14 December 2016 – De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill
Just over 24 years after its premiere in Munich, and just under one year since the loss of David Bowie, British music fans have a rare opportunity to hear the American 'minimalist' composer, Philip Glass' Symphony No.1, also known as the Low Symphony, performed in its glorious entirety by a world-class orchestra. 'A Celebration of David Bowie' tours to just three UK venues as Charles Hazlewood's Army of Generals follow up their remarkable, televised performance of Symphony Number 4, the Heroes Symphony, in front of a 20,000-strong Glastonbury Festival crowd by taking both indoors for an intimate tribute to the two musical icons.
Swapping the famous, often muddy fields for three of the UK's most revered orchestral settings, the symphonies find their only 2016 dates at Colston Hall, Bristol (Sat 10 December), Royal Concert Hall, Nottingham (Mon 12 December) and De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill (Wed 14 December). In touring Low and Heroes after leading the Glastonbury tributes to Bowie during the summer, Charles Hazlewood and the Army of Generals – featuring members of the British Paraorchestra – promise an intense, yet celebratory symphonic tribute.
Composed in 1992 and 1996 respectively, both the Low and Heroes Symphonies came not only with the blessing and collaborative input of both David Bowie and producer, Brian Eno, but also used key elements from the seminal, namesake albums, famously recorded during Bowie's 'Berlin Period' in the mid-70s.
Having met Bowie as two emerging musicians in early 1970s New York, Glass remained in contact with the rising glam-rock star, approaching the 'thin white duke' in the late 80's as he developed ideas for his first symphony. Recognising the experimental nature of both of these classic albums, as well as the intrinsic, modern-classical compositional nature of Bowie and Eno's craft, Glass worked on extending the themes found in each. Through his un-mistakable and hypnotic brand of alchemy, Glass remarkably isolated the musical essence of Bowie at his challenging best and re-expressed the much-missed star's genius, treating the themes of the albums very much as if they were his own and allowing their transformations to follow his own compositional technique.
Charles Hazlewood says: "With my back to 20,000 people who had gathered to celebrate the life of David Bowie, the experience of performing this set at Glastonbury for me, Army of Generals and British Paraorchestra musicians was beyond intense, the perfect intersection between music, artists, audience and a unique moment in time. The Heroes Symphony is a wonderfully intense symphonic journey, which takes the musical essence of Bowie's album, and re-expresses it through Glass' unmistakable and hypnotic brand of alchemy: a symphonic meditation setting the ghosts of Bowie's (and Eno's) creation in poetic, shining relief, through the filter of another, equally iconoclastic and unique genius.
"Six months on, the setting for the tour, and the rare performance of the Low Symphony, changes that dynamic all over again and brings us together in more intimate numbers, but that sense of wonder won't leave us. What David Bowie achieved can't be overstated, but Philip Glass' deft reimagining of two of Bowie's most ground breaking albums was an inspired and inspirational meeting of two musical minds.
"Anyone who loves Bowie will regularly listen to Low and Heroes back to back – the two major fruits of his Berlin period and collaboration with Eno – and so it makes perfect sense to view Glass's extraordinary reimagining of these two iconic works as one great symphonic journey. From the Low Symphony's dark beginnings to the white-hot finale of Heroes, this is remarkable testimony to Bowie's indefatigable spirit, and Glass's equally mesmerising gift of reinvention and reinvigoration: Low and Heroes re-expressed through the unique and kaleidoscopic colour-prism which is the orchestra."
In a career that spans over half a century, Baltimore-born, New York-based Glass' status as an originator and key player in the development and popularity of minimalist composition, alongside contemporaries such as Steve Reich, has long been assured. Oscar-nominated three times and the winner of a Golden Globe for his soundtrack for 1999's The Truman Show, Glass has effortlessly crossed any perceived divides between classical and popular culture through collaborations with filmmakers, artists and musicians as diverse as Mick Jagger, Aphex Twin, Richard Serra, Woody Allen and Martin Scorsese.
An internationally-renowned conductor, Charles Hazlewood assembled his virtuoso orchestra Army of Generals in 2003 to perform with him on his landmark TV films featuring Mozart, Beethoven, Purcell, Haydn and Handel. In 2012 he founded the British Paraorchestra, the world's first professional ensemble of disabled musicians alongside television director, Claire Whalley. Following their world debut at the Paralympic Closing Ceremony in 2012 alongside Coldplay, the British Paraorchestra set out to pioneer a global movement to recognise and showcase disabled musicians with extraordinary abilities.

Morel held out of lineup with back stiffness
Morel held out of lineup with back stiffness
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Third baseman Brent Morel was scratched from Friday's starting lineup against the Diamondbacks with a stiff back.
A White Sox spokesman said Morel told manager Robin Ventura he could play, but the skipper decided to give him the day off. Morel, who is leading the White Sox with a .400 batting average, is considered day to day.
Brent Lillibridge started at third for Chicago against the Diamondbacks.
First baseman/designated hitter Adam Dunn, who has missed two games this week because of a stiff neck, is expected to be back in the lineup Saturday against Seattle in Glendale.

|Reviews for Tight Grip
| Ryane-Foxx chapter 1 . 1/8/2014
Very hot and sweet, love your attention to detail in the Dom/sub context.
| GingerFate chapter 1 . 11/4/2013
I like the first person point of view which is unusual for me but I thin it works for this. I hope you write more of these two together. :D
| y2jgurl chapter 1 . 9/1/2013
It's a great story. I loved it. Even though I never indulge myself into BDSM , but this was a Punkton fic and moreover very nicely written so I had to. I've even started to read your another Punkton fic named Trapped, which I might add is incredible. I'll put a review for it too, after I've finished it.
| MelancholicBaby chapter 1 . 8/21/2013
Great story. My favourite story plot and pairing, what more to wish for? :) Like that that they are more of a couple and not master/sub - good change. Keep up the good work...:)
| Bluestar711 chapter 1 . 8/18/2013
Oh my god! This was perfect! My definition of perfect!
| Guest chapter 1 . 8/17/2013
This was very sexy and also sweet. You did a wonderful job for your first time with this subject matter! Perhaps you'll consider writing more? :)
| showstopper87 chapter 1 . 8/17/2013
Wow, this was really good. I am not a big fan of BDSM, but this was really good. I am also not a big fan of CM Punk being a sub, but like I said this was good.
In my mind, I don't understand why anyone would want to give up their life like that, but if it makes people happy than who am I to judge? lol.
I love the way you wrote this and I love the story all together. It was very loving and hot at the same time. Great story! :)
| lilasskickersmom chapter 1 . 8/17/2013
That was wonderful! Very well done!
And I really enjoy your writing style!
Did it feel comfortable for you? Would you do more?
| alizabethianrose chapter 1 . 8/17/2013
This is amazing really loved it think you should write more.

Schoolgirl battled in vain to save family from house blaze
A SCHOOLGIRL desperately fought to save her sleeping mother and three family friends as a raging inferno tore through their home in a night-time blaze, an inquest heard.
Tragically little Tia James, seven, was unable to save her mother Claire, her mother's friend and her two young sons but was able to escape the flames before running outside screaming for help.
An inquest heard how brave Tia was woken by smoke filtering into her room and desperately attempted to rouse her mother before attempting to lead one of the stricken boys to safety.
The smoke blackened youngster then ran outside and tried without success to wake up neighbours but got no response and was found later by firemen.
Chesterfield Coroner's Court was told how Tia had been awakened when lethal smoke from the fire spread through the house killing her 27 year old mother, her mother's friend Josie Leighton, 32, and her young sons Jordan, 12, and his nine-year-old brother Tyler.
Tia told police how she had tried to wake her mum, Josie and the boys before trying to guide one of the boys downstairs at the house in North Wingfield, Derbyshire, in the early hours of November 20 last year. All four perished from smoke inhalation.
Assistant coroner James Newman said: "Tia was woken by something, possibly an alarm and by smelling something, and she remembers trying to wake Tyler and Jordan.
"She remembers trying to wake Josie and Claire. Her recollection is that Josie and Claire were awake as she remembers Josie saying, 'let's go downstairs.' "
She remembers trying to wake Josie and Claire. Her recollection is that Josie and Claire were awake as she remembers Josie saying, 'let's go downstairs'
Neighbour Sarah Hempshall said she had previously heard banging and shouting from Claire's home but did not respond when she heard noises and a tap at the window.
She said she was unsure if she had heard an intermittent smoke alarm sounding and woke about 4.55am when she smelled smoke and dialled 999.
Firefighters forced their way into the property. They found Jordan collapsed at the bottom of the stairs, Claire and Josie were at the top of the stairs while Tyler was in a bedroom.
Claire and Josie were pronounced dead at the scene just before 6am, Jordan and Tyler were taken to Chesterfield Royal Hospital where they were pronounced dead 90 minutes later.
Tia later told police the boys had been staying at Claire's home for a sleep-over and she had gone downstairs after an alarm had sounded.
Neighbour Ian Shaw, who lived 12 doors away, told the hearing how he had heard a little girl shouting "mum" three times after he had been woken by one of his dogs barking at about 1.40am and had gone outside.
He added: "In hindsight I should have gone down and had a look and I cannot apologise enough. If I had been there I would have broken the door down."
Derbyshire fire service discovered there had been an electrical fault in the floor board space between the ground floor and the first floor of the property which could not have been detected.
The fire spread upwards and ignited a TV below which produced acrid black smoke.
Assistant coroner Mr Newman said: "While I believe there was a missed opportunity to raise an earlier alarm, I have not heard anything to suggest it would have made a material difference in terms of the outcome."
Verdict: Accidental deaths.

In Wisconsin, Both Sides Dig In
Democrats Deny GOP Governor's Charge They Are Split on Return to State to Allow Union-Bill Vote
Tensions heightened between Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and the state's 14 Senate Democrats Monday, as they traded attacks over efforts to end a three-week-old impasse over legislation that would strip public employees of most collective-bargaining rights.
The Republican governor accused Democrats of being divided about whether to return from Illinois to vote on his "budget-repair" bill, while Democrats said Mr. Walker...

11 Fantastic Gift Ideas For Language Lovers
If you count language learners and enthusiasts among those you're planning to purchase gifts for I've got you covered. I've comprised a list of a few cool items that are sure to add some language learning sparkle to your friends' and loved ones' holiday bounty.
1. Dirty Everyday Slang Books
Looking for something special for the sailor in your life? Learn to cuss like a foreign pirate with this fun, fantastic little series of novelty dictionaries. The Dirty Everyday Slang titles compile a vast array of unsavory words with which to spice up your vocabulary.
But vulgar language isn't all that you'll find in these books. The books also – as their titles suggest – include a huge variety of common terms for casual interactions (slang).
(I wrote an in-depth post about this series here, if you want to know more.)
I don't necessarily suggest the use of many of these words in real-world application without a fair degree of cultural awareness, but they're still good to know and fun to learn and – at least in the case of some of the less risque terms – could be useful for making your speech sound less robotic following a program like Pimsleur or Rosetta Stone, which regardless of any merits are very scripted and don't always capture the feel of authentic conversation.
The Dirty Everyday Slang Books are available in the following languages: Greek, German, Spanish, Yiddish, Russian, Italian, American Sign Language, French, Korean, Mandarin, Japanese, Portuguese, Czech and Hungarian.
A companion workbook series also exists. I don't think all languages are available, but I've linked the Spanish Workbook here as an example.
These books cost less than $9 USD and are also available in Kindle format.
2. The Pimsleur Approach
This item is a bit more pricey, but I think the returns are worth the cost. Pimsleur's audio-based language learning programs have been among the top language products for years and have amassed quite a reputation for themselves – in part due to their horrible advertising campaigns.
It took me a long time to warm up to Pimsleur. I worked through all three levels of Pimsleur's Russian and still had a sour taste in my mouth. It was only a year later in retrospect and having tried so many other tools in the intervening months that I realized just how much I had actually learned – and more importantly retained – by using Pimsleur.
Readers who recall my first review of Pimsleur will remember that one of my biggest issues with the software is its price tag. Since then the price has dropped considerably with the release of their downloadable files, so while still not the cheapest option around it is less of a money sink than many of its competitors.
For more information on what Pimsleur is and how it works you can go here and here respectively for my first review and why I decided to give Pimsleur a second chance.
I came across this item the other day quite accidentally and instantly wanted it. Many of you may remember from your childhoods the little wooden alphabet block sets? Perhaps you have children of your own who own or owned a set when they were younger.
Here in the US we've been using alphabet blocks like these to help young children learn the fundamentals of English for ever, but did you know you can actually find these blocks in virtually all major world languages?
Well, maybe not all of them, but these ones anyway: Mandarin (includes stroke grid),
French, Spanish,Hebrew,Korean, Italian,American Sign Language (and braille),Japanese (hirigana only),German,Norwegian,Greek, Persian,Russian, Portuguese,Polish,Swedish, Danish, Dutch, Maori,Cherokee and even Ancient Egyptian Heiroglyphics!
A great gift, no doubt, for anyone with young children to shop for. But they don't have to be just for kids. There are probably plenty of ways that you can use these blocks to create words and to familiarize yourself with foreign characters – especially those of languages like Japanese or Mandarin.
4. Multilingual Scanner Pen
Hand held scanning devices allow you to scan lines of text from a book, notebook or any other print source and instantly upload it to your computer or mobile device.
This cool gadget, however, is special. In addition to scanning work or documents in English; it can scan documents in as many as 238 different languages making it a useful tool for anyone in a professional setting that requires the transferal of data from a paper medium to an electronic medium also interested in saving time and space.
If you used this technology alongside an electronic translator of some kind, this would let you upload snippets from a foreign language book you're reading and have it translated. Potentially faster – and more engaging – than leafing through a dictionary.
For fans of HBO's hit series A Game of Thrones (or fans of the books the show is based on) comes Living Language: Dothraki. Now you or your loved ones can learn a bit of one of the world's most popular new fantasy conlangs.
Developed by linguist David J Peterson; Living Language: Dothraki is a really fun gift idea for fans of the series or anyone still hung up on the "roughness" of German. Dothraki is as harsh and bewildering as the steppe warriors who speak it as they gallop through the grasslands looting and pillaging enough to make Atilla wet himself.
Online subscriptions that include audio CDs and even a companion mobile app are also available here on Living Language's site. The main book is also available at a reduced price here on Amazon, which I've included not only because I sincerely care about saving you money but also because I make a tiny (4%) commission if you buy through Amazon, and I'm saving up for the scanner pen!
**It also just went on sale.
6. Magnetic Poetry
Another super inexpensive, universally useful toy for kids; Magnetic Poetry is the product line that brings you those little fridge magnets with words on them as seen on the left. Just as with the blocks, it's well established that a variety of English language magnets exist, ranging from standard to Geek and Pirate, but did you know they also make foreign language magnets?
These are a good resource for simple sentence creation and in the case of some languages can serve to help you with your character memorization. They're also a great way to squeeze some study time into your busy schedule; you can use them while you cook.
Magnetic Poetry is available in Spanish,French,Italian,German and Mandarin.
7. Oxford Picture Dictionary
When I was working with the Literacy Volunteers of Eastern Connecticut we used to use these fantastic resources when teaching English. Unfortunately for some of us they are tailored mostly for those learning English, rather than another language, but they are still a potential resource and reference for any language learner to have.
The OPD is just that – a dictionary. Except that rather than being purely text the OPD features brilliant illustrations organized according to category. One page might feature a grocery store and then numerous arrows pointing to the various types of produce and offering a translation.
Because it is designed for those learning English, not the other way around, the OPD doesn't offer much by way of pronunciation and if your new language features a writing system you are unfamiliar with it probably wouldn't work.
But in general I still think it's a worthwhile buy for learners with whom these will not pose issues. It also makes a great gift for anyone who teaches or tutors English to immigrants, in schools or as one side of a language exchange.
The Oxford English Dictionary is available in
Spanish, Mandarin,Arabic,Korean, Haitian Creole,Vietnamese, Japanese,Russian,French,Thai (European) Portuguese,Farsi, Urdu,Cambodian, Polish, and Brazilian Portuguese.
8. Parleremo's Zazzle Store.
In this case I couldn't just link to a single item – because there are thousands. Parleremo, the same site that I reviewed last month and a fantastic place for some free language learning, hosts a Zazzle shop with an incredible supply of stuff for just about everyone and every need.
From handbags to phone cases, t-shirts, postage, Christmas ornaments and more. You name it, Parleremo probably has it – and they probably have it featuring some pretty fun languages like Faroese.
I really can't adequately do the site justice so you're going to just have to check out Parleremo for yourself. It really is the pinnacle of polyglot swag.
9. Hanzi WallChart
If your gift plans this holiday season include someone who is learning Mandarin you won't want to miss out on this. Hanzi WallChart, provided by the company Hanzi WallChart, features not unlike its name; as a chart that hangs on your wall and is covered in Hanzi.
Okay, but seriously. This chart features 1500 of the most common simplified Chinese characters on a very simple yet elegant format and could find a suitable home in the bedroom or office of any polyglot, linguist or educator.
Hanzi WallChart also provides a version of the that shows the traditional Chinese characters instead of simplified.
10. Flashsticks
Another great resource for learners of all ages; Flashsticks are, as the name suggests, sticky flashcards that can be stuck to any surface. Each card is printed with a unique, commonly used word, translation, icon and phonetic key for pronunciation.
You can use them as flashcards, walk around your home or classroom sticking them to the objects they belong to or creating any number of fun language learning games that make learning a foreign tongue easy.
It also has a tablet or smartphone app that offers high quality audio to aid you with pronunciation.
Besides having a great product, Flashsticks, as a company, is devoted to making language learning accessible to all and maintains a vibrant social media following and is constantly posting language tips, tricks and new articles. Be sure to follow them on Google+ at +FlashSticks and Twitter at @Flashsticks
Go here for a much more thorough review.
11. Tablets and eReaders
These are already some of the top selling holiday items, and have been for the last few years, but that doesn't mean you're quite ready to give in just yet, does it?
They're quite a bit more expensive than the other gifts on this list (though the basic Kindle is now only $79) usually ranging from around $200 and moving upwards of $800 but the services they can render to a dedicated language learner are truly incalculable.
I cannot recommend enough the importance of mobile learning on today's education playing field. With nearly every major language learning company now offering its services in either a mobile format in the form of an app or simply as online digital content – which can be reached via your new tablet's browser – you'd be missing out if you didn't take advantage of all that is currently offered and stayed abreast of that which is yet to come.
I personally use an ASUS Transformer Pad – one of the cheaper options – and I love it, but for those for whom money is not an object my strongest recommendation is going to be the iPad.
Check out this earlier post in which I cover the differences between Android and iOS platforms and how they uniquely impact language learners.
Lastly, taking up eBooks does not mean that you can't still love and own print, as some seem to think.
Many of the items listed above are actually affiliate links. Rather than saying that after each piece I figured it made more sense to simply say it here. Affiliate links earn me a very small commission every time you buy an item (about 4%). The Federal Trade Commission requires me to disclose this information but I'd do it anyway as I strive always for transparency within LATG.
This in no way effects you. It doesn't cost you extra. My commission is simply granted to me instead of Amazon.
So if you're shopping for a language lover this holiday season – or any time of the year – keep this list in mind. Hopefully you've gained some ideas they'll love or were swayed one way or the other on an item you were already considering.
Happy holidays and happy hunting!

Viola out to stay positive
Alessandro Gamberini wants a positive attitude from Fiorentina ahead of their clash with Rangers.
Last Updated: 24/04/08 8:21am
Alessandro Gamberini wants a positive attitude from Fiorentina ahead of their Uefa Cup semi-final clash with Rangers.
The defender knows the Italians' cup dream almost died the last time they played on British soil.
The Viola were confident a 2-0 advantage from the home leg of their last-16 clash with Everton would be enough to see them comfortably progress but instead scraped through in a tense penalty shoot-out at Goodison.
"We need to have the right attitude," he said. "It's very important that we are still in the tie after this match. I'm sure Rangers will try to play a physical game.
"We have to show determination, more determination than we showed against Everton in Liverpool, but we also need to maintain our style of football.
"We were trying to achieve two objectives this season - either (qualification for) the Champions League or the Uefa Cup final.
"The fact that we still have a chance for both of these targets signifies that we have had a very good season.
"I don't know the Scottish players and I don't really know much about Scottish football but I'm sure it's going to be a difficult game."

text: I have yet to see a blatant display of homosexuality in video games? The only way to have a "gay" encounter is to select female characters and have other feamle NPCs hit on you. But, this is not becasue the video game creators are trying to make a character a lesbian, rather, they just assume such a male dominated market that they make it this way (lazy coding). Has anyone come across a game with homosexuality in it -- I may have and just forgot about it.

The Audi R8 Spider is due next year as a 2010 model. Engines will be the same as the R8, and the Spider will also get a version of the V-10 that's also coming to the R8 coupe.
The roof looks pretty much like that on the Lamborghini Gallardo Spider, and without the sideblades that normally are found on the R8 Coupe, the Spider looks even better.
Stay tuned for more info from TheCarConnection.com.

When people purchase a car, it's often one of
their greatest financial investments in life.
Whether the car is new or used, it's important
to maintain it. Cars cost a lot and yet some
people treat them bad. For a car to keep its
value as much as possible ,you have to keep
the interior and exterior completely clean. Many
people nowadays don't have much free time
and that usually means that car cleaning is far
down the list of things to do. In situations like
this, it is essential to find agencies that offer
Cheap Mobile Car Valeting Prices.
Even those people who could find time to clean
their vehicle, only give it a fast wash and wipe,
to keep it clean looking. Not many individuals will spend time applying wax
to the exterior of the car, and yet it is this process which makes the vehicle
shine much more, and helps to protect the bodywork. When a vehicle has
been recently waxed, it's something to be proud of, and in the daylight, the
car can look like new new. The good news is, an extensive wax needs to be
done every few months, and the fastest way of getting it completed is by
hiring car valeting services, and letting professionals to complete the work.
This kind of valeting service is now offered all around the country and it is
worth the money. Doing a full interior clean of the vehicle is not only time
consuming, but it is challenging as well, and quite often, many places are
skipped. This doesn't happen with an expert service. A thorough interior valet
will include all surfaces wiped down, mats cleaned, mirrors polished, any
unsightly stains on seats removed, carpets vacuumed, trash cleared, and
various other things. All of the frustrating places willbe clean.
A lot of drivers take their vehicles to a car wash, but they are not aware of
the fact that they're only cleaning the most obvious parts. If you choose to
take your vehicle to a car wash, inspect it closely right after and you will see
that lots of areas had not been polished. For example, open the driver's door
and the foot sills will still be dirty. Open the bonnet and the edges will have
standard car wash does not really clean the vehicle.
The only method to make sure the whole car is cleaned, both inside and out,
is to employ a car valeting service. The greatest thing about this sort of
service, aside from having a fantastic looking car at the end, is that it frees
up time. Therefore, the car owner will sit back and rest, while the
professionals complete all of the work. Because of mobile valeting, it's never
been so easy to maintain a car clean.

Mining techniques have dramatically transformed over many years, with technological advances improving efficiency and safety. In the discovery stage of mineral exploration, mining engineers work closely with geologists to identify minerals and assess reserve quantities. Mineral engineers may then drill core samples and conduct surface surveys, searching for specific compounds and ores. Unless the mineral exploration is done on public lands, the property owners may play a significant role in mining exploration.
Generally, mining is either done from the surface or underground. Surface mining requires the stripping of surface vegetation, dirt, and if necessary, layers of bedrock in order to reach buried ore deposits. Additionally, explosives may be called for in order to facilitate breakage. Hard minerals such as limestone, sand, gravel, and slate are generally quarried into a series of benches. Strip mining, on the other hand, is more appropriate for softer minerals such as clays and phosphate. In-situ mining can be done from the surface using dissolving agents, retrieving the ore via pumps. Finally, hydraulic jets may be utilized to wash away the overburden or to clear out the ore itself. Within the mining technology department, you may consider Houston Baptist University geology major as an adjunct to your primary course of study.

Acupuncture, evidently founded in ancient China, has been around for 2000 years or more and involves the placing of tiny needles at specific places on the body to achieve certain ends for one's health. The analogy to electricity is apt since the hypothesis behind acupuncture's efficacy includes that our bodies have energy currents which can become partially or fully blocked, leading to illness. The blockages are said to be released through the stimuli of an acupuncturist's needles. These are just my interpretations of acupuncture, though, and may not be a sufficient explanation of what acupuncture is really all about.
Nonetheless, in many cases it does work, sometimes even when our regular healthcare does not. I was myself quite skeptical of this oriental type of healing practice. However, a few years ago I developed a problem with my right thumb and wrist severe enough that I became unable to use that arm for a number of common activities. Months of physical therapy, combined with a thumb and wrist splint plus home exercises, had helped some but only modestly. My level of improvement seemed to have reached a plateau. It appeared nothing more could be done to heal the condition by conservative means. I began using steroids from my orthopedist. At best they provided temporary relief. She recommended surgery.
At this point, a friend suggested acupuncture. The practitioner was in fact an orthopedic physician in his own right, but his credentials were achieved in China and have not been accepted in this country, so he teaches and practices acupuncture here instead.
I went to him and had a consultation. He asked what had been done already by the orthopedist I was seeing. On the next visit, he looked at the x-ray report, examined me, and gave me an initial acupuncture treatment. To my surprise, the needles hardly hurt at all when inserted but would seem to catalyze a mild pain, hard to describe, as if there were a resistance, when at the correct position.
I was left in semi-darkness for about half an hour and got so relaxed that I briefly fell asleep. The acupuncture doctor examined me a few moments once the needles had been removed and diagnosed a small cyst or tumor at the base of my thumb. He showed me by touch exactly where it was, and I could then feel it myself. This was of concern, of course, but it was also a little disturbing that it had not yet been noted by my regular orthopedist.
In my next visit with my own physician I pointed out the abnormality. She acknowledged it but did not take it seriously, saying again that she thought all could be quickly resolved surgically. Yet I prefer not to have unnecessary procedures and so continued to go to the acupuncturist a couple times a week at first, then later once a week.
In only about a month of such care, my strength had returned in the thumb and wrist, the cyst was barely noticeable, and I was no longer hyper-sensitive to pain or pressure around the hand and forearm. When I returned to my physical therapist for our next session after this, she was amazed at the progress and thought I did not need to keep seeing her.
I went a few days later to my orthopedist. She checked me out and said there had been some kind of "miracle," that I was essentially healed. I explained about the results apparently being from my acupuncture treatments. She agreed that had to be it. She related to me an incident with another patient she had seen two or three years previously, whom she said had also gotten what seemed to be a "miracle cure," in this case after having gone to an acupuncturist who was actually an orthopedist from China, but whose credentials were not accepted in this country. I said this must also be my acupuncturist. She had pronounced his name differently, but the spelling turned out to be the same, Dr. Ziyang Zhou.
I now do a few wrist exercises from time to time and take a little ginger with tea or coffee, but have had no further serious problems from that thumb and wrist. I do not say acupuncture is for everyone or will cure everything western medicine can. However, as a complement to the kind of traditional care we are more used to in this country, it is from my experience certainly worth considering and might just do one a great deal of good.

We never intend to go out of the country except to cruise Carribbean or Bahamas.

wikiHow to Make Nutella Hot Chocolate
Three Methods:Making Nutella Hot Chocolate on the StovetopMaking Nutella Hot Chocolate in the MicrowaveAdding Toppings and Extra IngredientsCommunity Q&A
Nutella hot chocolate is a rich and creamy treat that's great for the winter months. Nutella adds a hint of hazelnut that gives the hot chocolate a rich and nuanced flavor. This wikiHow will show you how to make it.
10 Second Summary
1. Place 3 tablespoons (44.3 grams) of Nutella into a saucepan.
2. Add ⅓ cup (78.8 milliliters) of milk.
3. Whisk over medium heat for 5 minutes.
4. Add in 1 cup (240 milliliters) of milk.
5. Cook it over medium-high for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
6. Pour the hot chocolate into a mug. Garnish it with marshmallows, if desired.
Classic Nutella Hot Chocolate
- 3 tbsp (44.3 ml) Nutella
- 1 ⅓ cup (315.4 ml) milk
Making Nutella Hot Chocolate on the Stovetop
1Place a saucepan over medium heat. Place a small saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Try to use a stainless steel pan if you can, as opposed to an aluminum or unlined copper pan, which both can react badly with milk.[1]
2Add Nutella and milk. Scoop in the 3 tablespoons (44.3 ml) of Nutella and add in ⅓ cup (78.8 ml) of milk. You can use any kind of milk you like, though whole milk will give you the creamiest flavor. You can also use a non-dairy milk like almond or soy milk if you prefer the taste or are allergic to dairy milk.[2]
3Stir continuously until blended. Stir the milk and Nutella together using a spoon or whisk until the two ingredients are fully blended, about 5 minutes. The heat of the stove will help the Nutella to melt and blend with the milk.[3]
4Add the remaining milk and turn the heat to medium-high. Once the Nutella and milk blend together, pour in the last cup of milk and turn the heat up to medium-high.[4]
- If you want a less milky version, reduce the amount of milk you add to ¾ cup (177.4 ml).
- Only turn the milk up to medium-high. Putting the milk on a higher heat will cause it to scald and form an annoying protein skin.
5Mix until blended. After you pour in the extra milk, use your whisk or spoon to stir your ingredients continuously. It should only take a minute or so for the ingredients to mix. If you want your hot chocolate to be extra-frothy, whisk vigorously to produce bubbles.
6Pour into a mug and serve. Once the hot chocolate has heated and mixed, pour or ladle the drink carefully into a mug. Garnish the hot chocolate if you wish with marshmallows and serve it while it's still hot![5]
Making Nutella Hot Chocolate in the Microwave
1Pour milk into a microwave-safe mug. You can also use the microwave to make Nutella hot chocolate, though as milk easily scalds in the microwave, you must be sure not to over-microwave it! To begin, pour the 1 ⅓ cup (315.4 ml) of milk into a microwave-safe mug.[6]
2Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Place the mug of milk in the microwave and microwave on high for 2 minutes. Don't microwave for any longer than 2 minutes, as this can cause the milk to scald.[7]
3Add the Nutella. After the milk has microwaved for 2 minutes, take the mug out of the microwave and scoop in the Nutella. Begin to stir together the Nutella into the milk with a spoon.[8]
4Stir until the Nutella is incorporated. As you are stirring, you should see the Nutella beginning to melt from the heat of the milk. Keep stirring until the Nutella has fully melted and is mixed with the milk.[9]
5Reheat if necessary. If your hot chocolate isn't hot enough, put it back in the microwave and microwave for fifteen-second intervals, checking after every session to make sure the milk doesn't scald. Then serve and enjoy![10]
Adding Toppings and Extra Ingredients
1Sprinkle in marshmallows. Marshmallows are a classic addition to any kind of hot chocolate, including Nutella hot chocolate! Sprinkle in mini marshmallows right after heating your hot chocolate. The marshmallows will melt slightly but still keep their delightful, fluffy texture![11]
2Serve with whipped cream and chocolate sauce. Another classic way to garnish your hot chocolate is to top it with whipped cream and drizzle on chocolate or butterscotch sauce. You can even make your own whipped cream and infuse it with flavors like coffee or hazelnut![12]
- To make your drink even more Nutella-y, you can put Nutella into a piping bag used for frosting cakes, then pipe Nutella on top of the whipped cream as a substitute for chocolate sauce.
3Add texture to your Nutella hot chocolate. To give your hot chocolate extra crunch, top your Nutella hot chocolate with whipped cream, then add crushed hazelnuts, shaved chocolate, or chocolate chips to your drink. These topping will add texture and crunch to your drink for an even more enjoyable experience![13]
4Spike your Nutella hot chocolate with bourbon. Spiked Nutella hot chocolate is a rich and indulgent treat for those above drinking age. To spike your Nutella hot chocolate, simply pour in your desired amount of bourbon after you have finished preparing the hot chocolate, then mix with a spoon.[14]
- Bourbon is an alcohol that tastes excellent paired with chocolate. Other good options are rum and chocolate liqueur.
Community Q&A
Do you think that crushed Oreos would be a good topping for this?wikiHow ContributorAbsolutely, that sounds great!
Why bother putting it on the stove when you could put it in the microwave?wikiHow ContributorThe Nutella melts faster and doesn't get burned while mixing.
Can I vary the amount of the Nutella in the recipe?wikiHow ContributorOf course! If you add more Nutella, your drink will be sweeter and thicker. If you use less Nutella, your drink will be thinner and more milky instead.
Can I use a microwave to make this?wikiHow ContributorYes, you can, but be careful. The Nutella is more likely to burn, and it will melt quicker than when using a stove and saucepan. Heat the Nutella at 10 to 15 second increments, and stir it often.
What happens if I use a rusty pot?wikiHow ContributorThe rust may blend in when heated, so use a normal stainless-steel one.
How many servings does this make?wikiHow ContributorIt depends on how big your cup is, but this is meant to be one serving.
Can we make it with cold milk?wikiHow ContributorNo, since you need to melt the Nutella for it to be able to diffuse. You could cool the drink in the refrigerator, but it might not be very tasty.
Do you have to use that much milk?wikiHow ContributorIf you look at the tips it states that you don't have to. For a clearer drink, add more milk and for a thicker drink, add less.
Mine doesn't taste at all like I expected it to. Did I do something wrong?wikiHow ContributorDid you use the right amount of milk? Nutella has a strong taste, so you might want to add more milk if the taste was too much for you.
Does the milk have to be fat-free?wikiHow ContributorNo, you can use whole milk or even 2% milk instead. Keep in mind that Nutella isn't exactly fat-free, so using whole milk or 2% milk will give you a richer drink.
- Use coconut, soy, or almond milk as an alternative to dairy milk.
- Try adding vanilla essence or a cinnamon stick to your hot chocolate to give it an extra hint of flavor!
Things You'll Need
- Small saucepan
- Whisk or spoon
- Double broiler

Aug 12 (Reuters) - Coal miner SouthGobi Resources Ltd reported a second-quarter loss and withdrew its full-year forecast for semi-soft coking coal, citing weak demand in China.
SouthGobi shares fell as much as 5 percent to C$1.14 on the Toronto Stock Exchange on Monday.
The withdrawal of the forecast for semi-soft coking coal, a variety of coal used to make steel, comes five months after the company set the target at 3.2 million tonnes.
SouthGobi said the timing of any recovery next year remained uncertain and was dependent on the Chinese economy, where demand and prices for coking coal have been weak.
The company's flagship Ovoot Tolgoi mine is in Mongolia, which neighbors China. The mine produces and sells coal to customers in China.
Certain coal price indices in China have reached four-year lows and coal consumption and production in regions close to the Mongolian border have dropped significantly year-on-year, SouthGobi said in a statement.
Economic activity after transition in China's leadership has been slower than expected, the company said.
China's new leader President Xi Jinping's appointment as Communist Party chief in a once-in-a-decade leadership change last November had triggered hope of political reform.
SouthGobi said average realized selling prices fell 77 percent to $14.40 per tonne in the second quarter.
SouthGobi posted a net loss of $33.7 million in the second quarter, compared with a net income of $237,000, a year earlier.
Revenue slumped to $374,000 from $8.4 million.
The company produced 0.17 million tonnes of raw coal, compared with 0.27 million tonnes, a year earlier.
The company's majority shareholder, Turquoise Hill Resources Ltd, formerly Ivanhoe Mines Ltd, is majority-owned by Rio Tinto.

They weren't related although I'm sure Tubby dropped by Harry's place to have his tenor de-elasticated from time to time. Without saxophone players and postmen the elastic band industry would have collapsed years ago.
I mention Harry Hayes as, in the process of bringing some form of system to my CD/LP/Tape/78/etc collection, I discovered I had a couple of CDs by Harry Hayes and his Band.
I'd forgotten just what a delightful band this was. Recorded either side of D-Day and beyond, this was a band reminiscent of an Ellington or a Benny Carter small group and, indeed, Hayes' alto is not too far removed from Benny Carter himself.
The sidemen are also big hitters of the time - Kenny Baker, George Shearing, Tommy Whittle, George Chisholm, Aubrey Franks, Norman Stenfalt - to mention but a few.
The music straddles that period before Bop had fully crossed the pond or the revivalists had begun to wave their banjos.
It's the kind of band I'd like to hear today.
The discs were issued on Hayes' own label so I don't know if they're still available.
Listen to Drop Me Off at Harlem and you may want to find out more - or even start a band!

I did run into a test run by an engine builder's magazine where they strapped an inexpensive EBay turbo to a GM 355 V8 which had 150k miles on it. They dialed it up to around 800bhp with 8psi or so of boost. So, if plumbed in properly the cheap turbos do function, but they were not tested for durability. Repeated heating and cooling expands and contracts the cast iron exhaust impeller housing. It has to be very good cast iron, something that can withstand extreme heat ranges and pressures without cracking or exploding outright. The aluminum intake compressor will also expand and contract, but at different rates than the impeller housing. It has to withstand the high internal pressures of a compressor without blowing up. When these expand, the housing to turbine blade clearance shrinks, potentially causing the blades to contact the housing. This is unlikely, but in cheaper turbines where tolerances are guessed at, the gap must be overcompensated for. So, they can either be less efficient, or more prone to blowing themselves to pieces. Another consideration is the quality and tolerance of the floating bearing. The center rotating hub must float on a high pressure, externally cooled oil supply. This is almost always supplied by the engine's lubrication system, so it must be plumbed in and out of the existing oil loop. The quality and spec of the oil and the tolerances withing the bearing and center rotating hub are critical. As the steel shaft heats up, it closes the gap to the bearing. This clearance must also be accounted for at a range of temperatures. Some of the turbo kits just use a t-splice to take pressurized oil from the oil pressure sending unit line. I'm not sure if that's a good solution, as the flow is pretty restricted in such a small line. I wouldn't throw one of these turbos on an engine without adding an external oil cooler to prevent cooking off the engine oil. I would probably plumb the turbo directly into the cooling unit circuit. Most after-market oil coolers use an adapter plate at the oil filter connection to send off oil to a heat exchanger. This is not a bad idea in general, and requires no significant engine modification or machining. Expect engine oil to break down much quicker when run through a turbine. Water cooled turbines are much more expensive.
So, the turbo itself may look cheap, but to make it work properly you need the following:
-turbine: $170
-oil plumbing: $100
-oil cooler and plumbing: $150
-intercooler: $100
-intercooler and air intake plumbing: $150
So now we are at $670. That's still cheaper than one Garrett turbine without all of the plumbing. However, there are more problems which must be accounted for. What happens when you add a whole lot more air to an engine which wasn't designed for a lot of boost? The fuel/air mixture is now very lean. Lean mixtures are bad news. As you run a lean engine up the rpm range, things start to get really hot. There isn't enough cold, high octane gas to cool the cylinder down. Fuel starts detonating before the piston reaches its apex. This is where engines burn up valves, blow holes in pistons and in the worst case throw rods through the block. The maximum fuel pressure and injector capacity isn't enough for the additional air; it can't keep the air/fuel mixture rich enough. A rich mixture prevents detonation to some degree, as does high octane fuel or possibly adding an ethanol mix. Some engines will run fine at lower RPMs, but as the turbine spools up and the engine starts breathing a whole lot more, the injectors run out of capacity. The easiest solution is to run higher capacity injectors and add a high pressure/high flow fuel pump. Electronically controlled engines with detonation sensors, MAF, O2, and EGT sensors can alter ignition timing and fuel mixture to get optimum fuel burn without detonation. Older engines without a feedback loop may use air flow to regulate fuel flow similar to a carburetor, but using a pressure regulator rather than the Venturi effect/float system. So the fuel system must be altered to either run richer overall, and not lean out at the higher RPMs, or run a mixture regulator manually which can be adjusted manually. So, considering the fuel system alterations, the cost will be well over $1200, which is still reasonable for turning a boring 180bhp into 400 or so clutch smoking horses.
And then back to the original reason for this post, will the EBay compressor hold up for a reasonable amount of time, or will you be left with a cheap dead snail.

E. coli (Escherichia coli), species of bacterium that normally inhabits the stomach and intestines. When E. coli is consumed in contaminated water, milk, or food or is transmitted through the bite of a fly or other insect, it can cause gastrointestinal illness. Mutations can lead to strains that cause diarrhea by giving off toxins, invading the intestinal lining, or sticking to the intestinal wall. Therapy for gastrointestinal illness consists largely of fluid replacement, though specific drugs are effective in some cases. The illness is usually self-limiting, with no evidence of long-lasting effects. However, dangerous strains, such as E. coli O157:H7 and E. coli O104:H4, can cause bloody diarrhea, kidney failure, and death in extreme cases. Proper cooking of meat and washing of produce can prevent infection from contaminated food sources. E. coli also can cause urinary tract infections in women.

Josh Hamilton Named AL MVP
Texas Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton collected 22 of 28 possible first-place votes to win his first American League Most Valuable Player award. After leaving the game of baseball from 2003-2005 with drug and alcohol problems, Hamilton has since corrected his mistakes while leading the Rangers to their first ever AL Pennant last season. "It's awesome, everybody makes mistakes in their lives and everybody deserves a second chance," said teammate David Murphy. "A lot of people don't take advantage of that second chance. But he took it and he ran with it."
Hamilton batted .359 with 32 homers and 100 RBI's this season. "It's an absolutely great honor," Hamilton said on a conference call Tuesday. "There's a lot of players in the league qualified to get this accomplishment — this award speaks volumes. To be voted on by the writers, I really appreciate that." Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera finished second in the voting with five first-place votes and 262 points. New York Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano ranked third with 229 points.

Availibility of renewable energy sources in Turkey: Current situation, potential, government policies and the EU perspective
This study aims to explore the availability and potential of renewable energy sources in Turkey as well as assessing related government policies, financial and environmental aspects of renewable energy projects. Turkey is a country which has the highest hydropower, wind and geothermal energy potential among European countries. As a European Union (EU) candidate several incentives were developed in Turkey for electricity generation from renewable energy sources by the enactment of Law No. 5346 in 2005 which was later restructured by Law No. 6094 in 2010. The most important ones are: ease of land acquisition and feed-in-tariffs which promise purchasing of electricity generated and domestic manufacturing of equipment by the private companies with a price of 5.30–9.69 and 0.3–2.55€c/kWh, respectively, depending on the type of the renewable and the equipment. However, feed-in tariff amounts take reservoir area into account instead of installed capacity for hydroelectric power plants. Moreover, Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report is not mandatory for all renewable energy plants. According to the multi-criteria analysis tool developed in this study to evaluate the renewable energy source (RES) technologies the most appropriate renewable energy alternative for Turkey is biomass, simply because of the highest social benefit among others.

300 new food sector jobs announced
More than 300 new jobs were announced today in the food sector as the Government faced damning criticism over unemployment.
Fast food giant McDonald's is to create 250 posts in a €12m expansion, opening three restaurants in greater Dublin and one other outside the capital.
And leading Australia healthcare business Probiotec will take on 70 workers when its European headquarters opens in Dundalk, Co Louth.
Tanaiste Mary Coughlan said the new manufacturing plant reaffirmed Ireland's reputation for excellence in the food sector.
"This project will also add significant value to locally sourced raw materials, particularly dairy ingredients," she said.
"It also says a lot about the very high regard for the Irish food sector across the globe."
The McDonald's expansion will take its Irish workforce to 3,850.
John Atherton, McDonald's Ireland managing director, said the company's investment was significant for staff and local suppliers.
"This expansion of our Irish operations and the creation of these jobs highlights the resilience of our business, despite the recession, and demonstrates that the core fundamentals of the McDonald's proposition for the customer are stronger and more relevant than ever," he said.
McDonald's said it planned further openings next year and again in 2012 and that recruitment for the first 250 positions would begin in July of this year.
The Probiotec Dundalk plant will produce a range of dietary and meal replacement products, branded as Celebrity Slim, for the European market. It is expected to generate sales of more than €30m over the next three years.
The food sector in Ireland employs about 46,000 people and adds €8bn to the economy.
Meanwhile, a third investment by Apple computer reseller Compu B is to create about two dozen jobs at a new store in Dublin.
The latest official Live register figures showed almost 437,000 people are now signing on for benefits with the unemployment rate at 12.6pc.
Reetta Suonpera, economist with business lobby group Ibec welcomed the jobs announcement.
"Though labour market conditions will remain difficult throughout 2010, the worst of the job losses appears now to be behind us. This will help stabilise consumer confidence and spending," she said.
