We hate racist people...
To Target: "Why isn't Trim on the line up?"
The Love Music Hate Racism Charity have come together with grime's Roll Deep Crew to produce a video for 'Racist People'. Although as many may know this isn't the original release that many of you may of heard which featured Wiley, Trim and Scratchy. The New version has verses added on by Breeze, Riko and Flow dan along with Scratchy. While at the video shoot a fellow pal and myself tried to clear up why they didn't stick with the original, although they diverted away from the question and said " They couldn't make it" or some rubbish like that. We all know why Trim isn't there and with Wiley well - who knows!? Although I personally prefer the original the new line ups still do a good job.
Let me not get away from the positive stance that not only this song is setting but what Roll Deep continously keep doing, supporting real issues. For many of you who aren't aware of the charity Love Music Hate Racism, they regularly put on rave and gigs with a mixture of artists from various different genres from hiphop to grime and indie, all around the country. They most famously put on a memorial concert for the late Anthony Walker in Liverpool, which also showcased Roll Deep on the line up which were Anthony's favourite group. They also put on regular discussions on the topic of racism and politics in universitys and local town halls around the UK. They also tend to set up these sorts of fun showcases around the target areas like Barking which has notoriously had much support from the BNP (Bald Narrow -minded- Pricks). They also do a lot as you may see from my excessive addiction to the words 'They also'.
I heard Logan had been practising his pose all day by researching up on Calvin Klein advertisements.
While I was there the cousin of Anthony Walker came along to feature in a few of the final shots. It was then when he and his daughters (I think) held up the pictures of Anthony and I thought to myself, here's me moaning about how Trim should be on this track and wheres Wiley and all that nonsense when just alone if this song could make an impact on one person and stop them from being influenced by - sorry for my french - d*ckheads who think it's acceptable to discriminate/bully or even kill someone for the reason of race or any other petty thing, then LMHR, Roll Deep and all the others that stood for this picture have done an amazing thing.
- Looking forward to seeing this video on our screens, especially for Black History Month. I know this isn't exactly an awards show but I may aswell act like it is I'd like to thank Mo (Director) for inviting me along, all the people at LMHR (Please can I have a Tshirt) and Raj Kapone for taking the biggest bit of pizza ever and saying that Pizza hut is better than Dominos - he must be on crack.

Harrogate Railway made the perfect start to 2014 by beating relegation troubled Wakefield 3-2 away in Evo Stik First Division North.
Prolific striker Nathan Cartman bagged a brace as Billy Miller's men held off a brave fightback from the hosts to claim three points.
Veteran winger Col Hunter also scored his third goal in a week for Railway.
Cartman opened the scoring from close range after three minutes before Hunter doubled the lead before half-time.
Dave Boardman's 12 minute double then brought the hosts level after the restart.
But Railway earned the spoils when Cartman finished off Dan Thirkell's through ball.
The three points lifted Railway up to 11th. Miller's men next travel to Lancaster City on Saturday.
City beat Railway 3-1 at Station View in September.
Harrogate Town's clash at Guiseley was postponed.

In the wars that rage inside
Though the shadows steal the light

Forever reign, King Jesus
Oh nothing is impossible

1) For a team that spit up two straight September leads, the Mets are running a loose, confident camp -- at least until Johan Santana's elbow started barking.The imprint is from manager Jerry Manuel, who projects a slightly more relaxed approach, at least as far as the image he portrays through the media, than did Willie Randolph, his predecessor. It also helps morale to have relievers J.J. Putz and Frankie Rodriguez bringing flat-out filthy stuff to the mound.
2) Manuel's experiment to bat Jose Reyes third this spring is a good example of his willingness to look at situations from new vantage points.Sure, Reyes, like Hanley Ramirez, or Barry Larkin before them, could grow into a very effective No. 3 hitter. But people missed the point: The lineup experiment is more about Luis Castillo than Reyes. There is no way Manuel can hand Castillo more plate appearances if he is the same Castillo from last year (.245 with 11 extra-base hits and troublesome legs). Without an effective Castillo, talk of Reyes at No. 3 is moot. So Manuel appeals to Castillo's pride, realizing the upside includes something near the .391 OBP Castillo put up in 2005. Castillo did show up in camp lighter and in good shape. Here's the problem: Castillo is 33 years old and has posted only three seasons with an average or better OPS+. The odds are against him being the guy you want taking the most plate appearances for the team. He really should be batting ninth, a page Manuel can borrow from Tony La Russa, who bats his pitcher eighth, in part to construct the double leadoff hitter concept as the lineup turns over.
3) The other thing that jumps out at you in Mets camp is their outfield.The Mets have nine outfielders on their 40-man roster, all of whom have major-league experience -- and that doesn't include non-roster guys Bobby Kielty and Rob Mackowiak. Seems like a lot of duplication with a lot of low ceilings. The key guy to the mix is Ryan Church, who was awful after his problems with his concussion, hitting .239 after May 14 with almost no power. The Mets can't be certain what they have in Church.
This is hard to imagine, but Livan Hernandez could help this team. He looks to be in good shape and throwing well. If the Mets need him to make 32 starts they're in trouble, but New York will have far better pitching depth than it had in previous years if Hernandez can work a little of his 83 mph magic for 15 starts or so.
A healthy Johan. Until Santana gets a clean bill of health, a pall remains over this team, if only because of the possibility that he might miss some starts. Scott Kazmir came back from a balky spring training elbow last year to make 27 starts (he made three tune-ups in the minors) and help pitch the Rays into the World Series. The Mets will take a similar conservative mindset with their franchise pitcher. For now, though, living with the daily updates and the "what-ifs" exhausts some mental energy from this team.

Grains innovation set to continue
GroundCover™ Issue: 41
CHANGE HAS been sweeping Australia's $9 billion grains industry. It has enjoyed a remarkable record of growth over the past decade, thanks to innovative farmers who have swooped on new varieties, crop types, farming systems and equipment technology.
Because farmers have used research outputs to make major changes over the period, productivity-growth has averaged 3.2 per cent a year, with gross value of production rising by more than 80 per cent and planted area increasing by 50 per cent.
So, there is no surprise that the organisation that oversees scientific development in the industry - the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) - should choose "Driving Innovation" as the theme for its new five-year strategic plan. The plan, starting on I July and running until 2007, reflects grower priorities for grains research and has been developed in consultation with the industry's national representative body, the Grains Council of Australia.
The new plan accepts the inevitability of major change across the Australian and international grains industry over the coming five years and commits the GRDC to ensuring grower and industry innovation meets the challenges involved. As well, the GRDC has become more business-driven, is more ably linking technology to adoption and has set out on a course to achieve global leadership in grains research.
In particular, the new plan predicts major technological change in areas like precision agriculture, biotechnology, grain storage, farm input discovery, processing and extraction techniques, product attribute development, grain and food testing, and farming systems techniques - the research issues that Ground Cover has reported to graingrowers over the past decade.
The Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Warren Truss, who launched the new plan, said that previous GRDC plans have contributed to industry growth through better plant breeding, improved tillage practices and better resource and business management.
New approaches for research and development will help lead to the industry's gains over the next five years. Commercial joint-venture wheat-breeding arrangements have been set up by the GRDC in each of the grain industry's three regions, and should playa significant part in these gains.
Other crops, such as oilseeds and pulses, would be made more attractive to growers by research to define new management requirements and to overcome disease problems. This will offer 'real benefits for sustainable rotations' , while meeting a demand for human consumption and livestock feeding.
Sustainable farming systems research will help improve Australia's whole-farm profitability while protecting and enhancing the environment. This is essential to achieve the industry'S continued growth and.international competitiveness.
Balanced information on biotechnology
On a very topical note, the GRDC accepts community concerns about biotechnology. It believes sensitive hand.Iing of the development of biotechnology - and balanced, truthful communication of its potential benefits to consumers and the environment (as found in the back pages of this edition of Ground Cover) - will win increasing public acceptance of the new technologies.
The Corporation's investments in biotechnology over the next five years focus on benefits that can be obtained in crop improvement and crop protection, including:
- discovery of genes and molecular markers related to key performance traits in winter cereals - wheat and barley;
- development of technologies for genetic modification of winter cereals and their application to critical input and output traits;
- doubled haploid and molecular marker technologies for pulse and canola breeding programs by Australian and international collaborations; and
- exploring the introduction of desirable genes from related species.
Supported by grain growers and the Federal Government through the GRDC, Australian scientists will continue to use a range of biotechnologies to deliver improved outcomes in the areas of yield, quality, nutrition and environmental sustainability.

Today on the rumor mill: Microsoft may be considering spending a hefty $19 billion for Nokia's smartphone business, according to renowned mobile industry scoop hound Eldar Murtazin.
Right now all we have to go on is Murtazin's tweet: "One small software company decided last week that they could spent 19 bln USD to buy a part of small phone vendor. Thats it." He's clearly hinting at a deal between Microsoft and Nokia, something that he's been reporting will happen for weeks now. (Pictured right, Nokia CEO Stephen Elop, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.)
Nokia spokesman Doug Davis is calling the rumor "100 percent baseless," Reuters reports.
If the rumor does end up being true, Microsoft would be looking to acquire Nokia's "Smart Devices" division, which houses all of the company's smartphone operations. Nokia also has a "Mobile Phones" division, but that's entirely focused on lower-end dumb phones.
Nokia communications director Mark Squires responded to Murtazin's earlier report in a surprisingly direct way on Twitter: "We typically don't comment on rumors. But we have to say that Eldar's rumors are getting obviously less accurate with every passing moment," he wrote.
It's certainly not out of the question for Microsoft to snag a portion of Nokia, but personally I don't think it makes sense anytime soon. With Nokia now focusing on making Windows Phone devices (a deal rumored to be worth $1 billion), there's not much for Microsoft to gain by buying the company at the moment. Microsoft would be better off saving its cash and letting Nokia pump out devices under its direction.
Microsoft just recently spent $8.5 billion on Skype, which was also the company's biggest acquisition so far. It seems like a stretch that Microsoft would be willing to throw down another $19 billion so soon.
Update: Elop also commented on the rumor at the D9 conference today: "There has been absolutely no discussion. The rumors are baseless."

Parineeti and Alia – No Catfights Only Friendship
She did more than one faux pas when she sat on Karan Johar's coveted couch for the first time with her 'Student Of The Year' co-stars – Siddharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan. Alia Bhatt not only goofed up when asked about the President of India, but also made a very catty remark towards her contemporary - Parineeti Chopra.
Alia took a dig at the 'Ishaqzaade' actress on the show and said she would give the 'Style for Dummies' book to Parineeti, adding that though Parineeti is a good actor, she lacked a bit in the style department.
After a direct statement like that Bollywood speculators thought that all hell would break loose, and predicted a simmering new catfight between the two tinsel town beauties.
However, the lovely Ms. Chopra took the whole episode in the right spirit and commented, "What she said was true. My sense of style is terrible and I do not understand fashion. I could do with some style tips."
Ever since then, the girls have been pretty close to each other and are often seen enjoying each other's playful company at various events and parties. They also made an appearance together on 'Koffee With Karan' show, which showcased their joyful amity. Alia even commented, "We are more friends than competitors."
In an industry, where two contemporary actresses seldom bond, the Alia – Parineeti friendship is a rare one. Parineeti never took offence to Alia's statement and said, "Alia and I are friends, so, it doesn't matter. She tells me in person as well, 'Oh! Today, you're looking good or today, you aren't.' As a friend, she comments (on my clothes). And just because she said it on Karan's (Johar) show, it became a big thing. But I agree with her (opinion). Alia was right."
True, real friends are never too scared of telling each other the truth. In their case, Alia is genuinely honest and doesn't hesitate to tell her friend Parineeti the truth… and the honesty has definitely not marred their bond. Alia's twitter account is often flooded with pictures of her and Parineeti with cute captions like – "Me and my fav ;)@ParineetiChopra."
Recently Parineeti even appeared in a hilarious video, made for Alia Bhatt called 'Genius of the Year' by All India Bakchod (AIB), putting all speculations to an end about a rift between the two pals.
"Seriously I adore her, she is lovable and fun to be with," says the effervescent Pari.
Now which two popular actresses can ever get so friendly??? Really hats off to Alia – Parineeti's asli yaari.

Lifesize Koromaru Plush by WhittyKittyWatch
©2010-2017 WhittyKitty
Whew! This one was alot of work o.o This is Koromaru from the game Persona 3. Lifesize at abouuuut 25 inches long, nose to butt. The commissioner asked for a pouch inside the plush to put keys and the like while they're at a convention, so I put the pouch in the back with a velcro closure. Made from faux fur, copic marker, a bit of paint, sculpey teeth and nose, fleece tongue, and faux suede paw pads.
i want one!!!!!!....but smaller.....
Hey, could you make a 10 to 12 inch Koromaru plushie? I don't really know how to place an order...
Um just wondering, but can you make a smaller plush or lower the quality just a little bit so it's around 10$ and sell it to me? And sorry if this is not the right procedure to ask, I'm new here.
oh hey! you're fine ^^ I make simple keychain plushies for $10, and more complex keychains for $20, with just about any options and customizations available for those. That's probably my cheapest line <3
this is so cool! I love Koro-chan!
...I'm speechless.
...I'm speechless.
Do you have a pattern for this. D:
noooo not anymore darnit >< gotta remake a new one
Please do! The only problem I can find with the plush itself is that it's missing his collar, shirt, and armband, which I can't blame anyone for.
haha right XD well this one was for a commission a ways back, and the commissioner requested the pup be "nude" so he's got no accessories. but yeah! i'd like to replicate this pattern for future big pups.
I know! It was the commisioner who linked me to this, after showing me a picture. When you put up a pattern, tell me! I'd be forever thankful to be able to make my own Koropurse. I have a Koromaru figure with my Metis figma, and being able to have a full-size plush to match would be amazing.
AWWW!!!!!!!!!!! I love Koromaru and this is just sooooo cute!~
It would say a true .
It would say a true .
love this one too
I always wondered if the fur color on self-made plushies like this would bleed or rub off if they got wet? Cute gallery though; my favorite of yours was the Liger from Zoids.
Well i usually tell people not to machine wash a handmade plush, just because of the roughness of it but i use water proof inks and paints so it should be okay to hand wash areas. i suppose it depends on what the artist uses. thanks much for the comment!
Oh, that's not so bad. I just assumed even getting one slightly wet could ruin the colors. You're welcome! (:
awww! so cute <3 where do you get your fabrics may I ask? C: there's nowhere near me and I dont trust some sites like ebay!
hmm sites like fabric.com and joann.com and hancock fabrics are all very good places
This is just so lovely! I thought it was Koromaru from P3 and my gosh you did an amazing job! The pouch was so clever. Great job
that looks cuddly, i like it alot
looks very amazing, adorable and so real! totally love it!
That face is amazing! I love the fur you used, and the way the tail curls!
Gorgeous!!! It came out wonderful!
Wow very nice and big!
i knitted a 20 inch plush before and boy it wasn't easy xD
i knitted a 20 inch plush before and boy it wasn't easy xD
WOW! great work, i want to hug it!
so so so so so so cute!
Wow! I love the pouch idea! I never thought of that before!
Also, great job on the plush! I like the eye; how'd you do it?
Also, great job on the plush! I like the eye; how'd you do it?
I have no idea who Koromaru is...but this is absolutely adorable! And the pouch is a cool touch! Looks amazing!
This is so amazing I love the pouch idea c:
He is perfect. *hugs* I can't wait to cuddle him. X3 Thank you SO MUCH for making him for me, you are just amazing at what you do! (and I sent the rest of the money!)
Now I gotta get booking on my costume so I take pictures. X3;
Now I gotta get booking on my costume so I take pictures. X3;
This is adorable, and functional too?! I recognized Koromaru immediately from the first picture in the thumbnail. It really looks like him, especially the eyes (except he's maybe a little whiter, but it's still very close). You did an amazing job!
YOU= Pure epicness
this is wonderful.
this is wonderful.
Wow, this is amazing so adorable. And the pouch is a good idea lol. I might have to commision you sometime, how much would something like this cost?

We set off from Haslingfield towards Harlton where we turned down Washpit Lane, which had more potholes than I remembered, and was also muddy from lots of farm traffic, quickly undoing the bike cleaning I had done before leaving home. (I will try and remember this another time).
From there we took usual roads through Comberton and Toft to Bourn, where we decided to avoid the ford and head up to Caxton End. Soon after Caxton we were overhauled by the city riders led by John Ross, who sped on ahead of us to spread out the orders for coffee. I had been to Waresley on the previous Tuesday in freezing fog, and it was a pleasant change not to have frozen toes, and to be able to see the church spire in the distance rather than having to be right next to it before it appeared through the cloud.
When we arrived at Waresley, we joined a big crowd of CTC Cambridge cyclists in the garden centre cafe. I counted 30 in all, which is a fantastic turnout on a grey December day.
As we got ready to set off afterwards, three people were variously mending punctures and pumping tyres up, so for a few moments an act of sabotage was suspected. On further investigation it turned out that these were all pre-existing slow punctures rather than co-ordinated acts of mischief. We left Waresley in two groups, with the remains of the city group heading off ahead of the village group.
Some way after leaving Waresley, I realised to my annoyance that I hadn't got my fancy photochromic cycling glasses with built-in reading lenses any more, and assumed I had either left these at coffee, or dropped them when unlocking my bike. I made a mental note to call the cafe at lunchtime and worked out a way to divert and drop in there on my way home.
After passing through Everton, Adrian and Richard left us we turned right and dropped down towards Tempsford, being a bit more cautious than usual as the descent was a bit damp and slippery-looking. In the far distance we could just about make out flashing red lights at the level crossing, and we took this as a sign that we could expect to get straight across after the train had gone.
When we arrived at the level crossing, we found the other group still waiting, and just as we pulled up, a train sped past. On a good day at the level crossing, there may be a wait for one or two trains. Bets were placed as to how may trains we would be waiting for, with Rupert going for three and Mike S gambling on four. Everyone was wrong in their guesses, and in the end we waited patiently as five different trains went by - which must be some kind of record.
Trainspotting at Tempsford level crossing
As we crossed the tracks, I noticed that my cycling helmet was getting very uncomfortable, and stopped to investigate. I found that I had managed to put my helmet on over my cycling glasses, which were still on the top of my head, squashed by the helmet. I felt a little foolish, but doubly relieved as the glasses slowly un-bent themselves without damage, and also to be able to see the route on my Garmin sat-nav again.
We crossed the A1 and turned south towards Moggerhanger and then looped north and then east towards Coploe, We had been riding into a bit of a headwind until then, so it was a welcome relief when we made the turn and started to get the benefit of the weather behind us.
The lunch stop was at a place we had not visited before in Willington - Blossom Cafe in the garden centre. This had space outside for people who were eating sandwiches, and was nice and warm inside. The food on offer was very good: soups, jacket potatoes, paninis and cakes, with quick and friendly service and very reasonable prices. It was good to visit somewhere new that ticked all the boxes, and all were in agreement that this should become a regular stop for the future.
Leaving Blossom Café at Willington
After lunch we headed off to join the NCN51 path by the river next to the Danish Camp. We followed the path into Sandy and then variously took two routes through Sandy, meeting up to cross the railway line (there was a bridge, so no risk of waiting for five trains this time!) and climb the hill towards Everton and Gamlingay. Here the city group and a Swavesey-area sub-group continued, while I turned off with the remains of the village group (Susan and Sheila) to ride to Wimpole Hall via Hatley and Croydon. We paused briefly at the entrance, next to the decorated tree, which we admired for its tasteful simplicity, with no garish flashing lights.
Sheila and Susan and festive tree at Wimpole
From Wimpole we continued through Orwell and on towards Barrington. It was only when we turned south after Orwell that we realised how helpful the tailwind had been all the way from Willington. A final effort over Chapel Hill returned us to Haslingfield at 4pm, just as darkness was falling. The round trip from Haslingfield was around 87km.
John Ross and I had planned the combined route together with a bit more thought than usual (for me), and in consultation with Rupert, who helped us improve an early draft of the planned route. This turned out well, as the two rides met up and then parted with military precision exactly as planned, and for once we arrived for coffee at exactly 11am and for lunch at exactly 1pm. This was a novel experience for me as a ride leader - usually over-optimistic and never early, always late. John Seton

John R (leader from Brookside) adds: I set off from home to Brookside with the "Swavsey area section", which comprised Mike CC and Dr John (Mike P would catch us up later). I had been impressed by Mike CC offering to ride into Brookside from home as he normally drives to the village start. He had sent me an email the previous night saying that he wanted the extra distance as he was "feeling frisky". Well, what could I say? As it turned out his enthusiasm let him down as after a couple of miles he started to slow and Dr John told me to race ahead to get to Brookside in time.
At Brookside I was joined by several other riders and by the time we had collected Mike CC, Dr John and Mike P plus Yasmin and a few others we totalled twelve - four more than the village group. We took the quiet route out via Silver Street, Grange Road and onto the Coton cycle path. After Coton we dropped onto the cyclepath along the St Neots road up to Hardwick and continued on until we turned left onto the Bourn road. Just before we dropped into Bourn we turned right toward Caxton - this is a wonderfully undulating piece of quiet road. After Caxton it was the usual route toward Great Gransden where we saw the village start group just ahead of us. Having caught John S's tidy little group up I indicated to John that to ease the flow of numbers for coffee at Waresley I would chase ahead with a slightly quicker group which in the end comprised myself, Dr John, Mike P, Alex, Yasmin and Eva.
All worked well as the two groups streamed into the garden centre café at Waresley. Gathering riders to move out for the ride to lunch is never easy when we have a big group gathered at coffee and today was no exception – shouting to all milling riders I was leaving with a first group I was followed by Alex, then after a minute or so by Rupert and Russell, leaving John S to rally the remaining half a dozen or so riders for the leg to Willington. As John S describes above we all met up sooner than we had anticipated at the railway crossing on Tempsford Road. John Ross

Dogs rescued from Sochi arrive in the U.S.
Friday, March 28, 2014, 6:47 PM -
Who can refuse these faces?
Ten rescued mutts from the streets of Sochi, Russia arrived in Washington, D.C. on Thursday.
Organizers say the rescue plan stemmed in part from international outcry over the plight of stray dogs in the 2014 Winter Games host city.
Animal rescue organizations began bringing in dogs from the streets as reports circulated of a planned extermination of stray dogs. Forbes reports that Olympians took home 50 dogs even before the games ended.

The ten dogs will be housed for the time being in the Washington Animal Rescue League facilities.
Each dog will get a medical evaluation and, if all goes well, the dogs could be available for adoption within weeks.
Organizers say they expect a great deal of interest because of the public outcry before, during and after the games.
More Sochi-rescued dogs are expected to arrive in the U.S. for adoption in the coming days.

Any idea's why this is failing?
If I try:

The time required to effect somatic symptoms sightings vary so as to distinguish the effects of immediate and delayed effects. Immediate effect is that the damage can already be observed clinically in individuals within a short time after the individual is exposed to radiation, such as epilation (hair loss), erythema (red skin), burns, and blood cell count decreased. Damage is seen within days to weekly after irradiation. While the effect is delayed effects of radiation emerging after a long time (monthly / yearly) after exposure to radiation, such as cataracts and cancer.
When viewed from the radiation dose (for the benefit of radiation protection), the effect of radiation is divided based on deterministic effects and stochastic effects. Deterministic effects are effects caused by cell death due to radiation exposure, while the stochastic effects are effects that occur as a result of radiation exposure dose that causes changes in the cell.
Deterministic effects (non-stochastic effects) This effect is due to the process of cell death caused by exposure to radiation that alter the function of tissue exposed to radiation. This effect can occur as a result of radiation exposure to the whole body or local. Deterministic effects occur when the dose received over a threshold dose (threshold dose) and usually occurs some time after exposure to radiation. The severity of deterministic effects will increase when the dose received is greater than the threshold dose varies depending on the type of effect. At the lower dose and approached the threshold dose, the possibility of deterministic effects is thus zero. While above the threshold dose, the chances of this effect to 100%.
Stochastic effects of radiation dose as low as anything there is always the possibility to bring about changes in biological systems, both at the level of molecules and cells. Thus, radiation can kill cells but did not alter the cells Cells that are modified or transformed cells has a chance to escape from the immune system that seeks to eliminate these cells. All due process of modification or transformation of cells is called stochastic effects that occur randomly. Stochastic effects occur with no dose threshold and would occur after a long latency period. The greater the exposure dose, the greater the chance of stochastic effects, while the severity is not determined by the number of doses received. When the cells undergoing cell change is genetic, then the properties of the new cells will be passed on to its descendants causing genetic effects or inheritance. If these cells are somatic cells the cells are in a relatively long period of time, coupled with the effects of the ingredients that are toxic others, will grow and develop into malignant or cancerous tissue. Exposure to low doses of radiation can increase the risk of cancer and the effects are statistically significant inheritance could be detected in a population, but not necessarily related to individual exposure.

Land Rover has revealed several improvements for the 2011 Range Rover Sport such as changes to the output of its engine range to its emissions levels. However, the most significant change for the 2012 model is the use of an 8-speed automatic gearbox that was developed by ZF. This is coupled to an enhanced version of the 3.0-liter SDV6 diesel engine that was given a 10hp extra boost to deliver a total of 256hp.
The diesel Sport will offer a more powerful performance but will have less CO2 emissions, from 243g/km to 230g/km while its combined fuel economy has been improved from 30.7mpg to 32.1mpg UK.
The Range Rover Sport SDV6 could accelerate from a standstill to 60 mph (98 km/h) in 8.5 seconds and could go on to reach a top speed of 124 mph (200 km/h). For 2012, the range-topping 5.0-liter supercharged V8 gasoline engine is unchanged, with an output of 510hp and an acceleration time of 5.9 seconds to get from zero to 60 mph (96 km/h).
Modifications to the 2012 Range Rover Sport include a broader range of exterior colors and interior trim. Across the range, a new powered, restyled tailgate has been fitted. The lift height is controlled by the button on the fascia or the key fob.
It can be set by holding the tailgate at the preferred height and pressing the tailgate button for 10 seconds. In addition, the Supercharged version of the Sport is fitted with a new 20" alloy wheel and is finished in Sparkle Silver with high-gloss lacquer.
The Range Rover Sport, Autobiography Sport and Limited Edition models have all undergone enhancements externally and internally for 2012.
The Range Rover Sport features modified rear tailgate graphics for a new and unique appearance, as well as front grille surround and headlamp inners treated in Gloss Black. A Dark Atlas grille is featured on the S and SE versions, while the HSE variant has a Light Atlas grille. Optionally, the Supercharged variant can be installed with new 20" alloy wheels in Sparkle Silver with glossy lacquer finish. It also features the Atlas grille surround.
The Limited Edition model has Gloss Black five-spoke wheels with Diamond Turned face. Along with the Autobiography Sport version, a new Ebony Morzine interior colour scheme is available for 2012, while the existing options have also been modernised. Minor modifications have also been applied to the grille, fender vents, bonnet badges, tow-eye, and door handles, the latter now in body colour.
Vastly Improved Infotainment System for 2012:
The new MOST Gen 2.1 electrical architecture has been adapted for the Hi-ICE and Premium audio. This is one of the many infotainment system improvements done for the 2012 Range Rover Sport. Other upgrades include new connectivity compatible with DVD audio formats on the Hi-Line and Premium systems, a Hard Disc Drive Music server, Dual Tuner with enhanced signal, Bluetooth for audio streaming, and USB for iPod and video streaming including two console lid ports. Rear seat entertainment is also more advanced, with new WhiteFireTM wireless technology for the cordless headphones. The Hi-ICE Harman Kardon System is now an 11-speaker system with a powerful 380W output (it was previously a 9-speaker 240W system). The most significant upgrade has been made for the Premium Harman Kardon LOGIC 7 system. This is now a 17 speaker system, up from 14, while the output power soars to 825W from the previous 480W level.
Also new on the Range Rover Sport is a high-tech 7-inch touch screen featuring Dual View technology. Introduced in the 2010 Range Rover, Dual View technology shows the driver the navigational display and the passenger a DVD show.
The new Hard Disc Navigation systems are comprised of the Traffic Message Channel (TMC) and voice-entry destination setting. Premium systems feature the new voice command called 'Say What You See' which assists the driver to learn commands via simple enumerated procedures on the screen and accepts short voice codes. The Park Heater also features a new 7-day timer.
Optional Luxury Pack:
An option on the 3.0 TDV6 HSE is the Luxury Pack which improves the vehicle features approximately to the premium level seen on the Supercharged models. This pack includes a heated steering wheel, adaptive cruise control, Premium ICE, contrast stitching on selected upholstery and extended leather pack for the interior, and new 20-inch alloy wheels for the exterior.

PITTSBURGH — The country is awash in pink for breast cancer awareness month — and some women are sick of it.
While no one is questioning the need to fight the deadly disease, some advocates for breast cancer awareness are starting to ask whether one of the most successful charity campaigns in recent history has lost its focus.
"The pink drives me nuts," said Cynthia Ryan, an 18-year survivor of breast cancer who also volunteers to help other women with the disease. "It's the cheeriness I can't stand."
Activists have even coined a new word: pinkwashing.
They say that's when a company or organization does a pink breast cancer promotion, but at the same time sells and profits from pink-theme products.
Some of the pink products have generated plenty of discussion among advocates for breast cancer awareness.
A Smith & Wesson 9 mm handgun with pink pistol grip? The manufacturer says a "portion of the proceeds will be donated to a breast cancer awareness charity."
You can get the "Pink Ribbon Combo" at Jersey Mike's Subs, or the Sephora Collection Pink Eyelash Curler. One year, there was a pink bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken.
The San Francisco group Breast Cancer Action has led the campaign to question pink products, but executive director Karuna Jaggar said it isn't saying all such products are bad.
She said there's no doubt that when the pink ribbon campaigns started about 20 years ago there was still a great need to raise awareness.
"At one time, pink was the means," Jaggar said. "Now, it's almost become the end in itself. In its most simplistic forms, pink has become a distraction. You put a pink ribbon on it, people stop asking questions."
Leslie Aun, a spokeswoman for Susan G. Komen for the Cure, based in Dallas, said the advocacy group isn't apologizing for all the pink.
"Research doesn't come cheap. We need to raise money and we're not apologetic about it," Aun said.
Komen, founded in 1982, has contributed $685 million to breast cancer research and $1.3 billion to community programs that help with mammograms, transportation and other needs, Aun said.
Komen would love not to have to do marketing, but that's simply not realistic, she said.
"We don't think there's enough pink. We're able to make those investments in research because of programs like that," Aun said.
Samantha King, a professor at Queens University in Ontario and author of the book Pink Ribbons Inc., said that at first people warned that she'd get hate mail for writing critically about the pink campaigns.
"And in fact the opposite was true," King said. "I had underestimated the level of alienation that many women felt."
King said she felt the Komen Foundation crossed the line a few years ago, when they partnered with KFC on the pink bucket of fast food.
"What's next, pink cigarettes for the cure?" King asked. "I think this really speaks to the fact that they've lost sight of their mission. Their primary purpose appears to be to sell products."
But perhaps not, said Ryan.
Over the last two years she's worked with homeless women who have breast cancer, in her hometown of Birmingham, Ala. Some of the women have an advanced stage of the disease, no health insurance and no place to call home. Yet when Ryan recently asked two of them what they wanted to help promote awareness among other homeless women, the response came quickly.
Pink handbags.
That answer promoted Ryan to take a hard look at her aversion to pink.
Now, she's not sure whether it's her place — or anyone else's — to proclaim that a particular pink-themed product is acceptable, or not.
"I'm conflicted," Ryan said, adding that she still worries that many people buy the pink products without really knowing where the money is going.
Jaggar said that different women will make a variety of choices. The point is to have them consider what the best choice is, instead of buying a pink product blindly.
For example, the lingerie company Aerie, based in Pittsburgh, draped thousands of bras on one of the many steel bridges in the city, to heighten awareness. Aerie said $1 from every sale during October will be donated to a breast cancer charity, up to $50,000.
Jaggar said that's the type of detail shoppers should pay attention to, and decide whether $1 out of a $20 or $30 sale is enough.
Jani Strand, a spokeswoman for Aerie's parent company, American Eagle Outfitters, said company officials feel strongly that it's a good thing to get young women talking about breast cancer.
Aerie's target audience is 20-year-old women, and Strand said the things that get that age group excited about a cause are different from what attracts older women.

Ok, so I've used aMsn for quite a while now (for at least some two and a half years). I like it a lot, it works great, lots of extra stuff: plugins, themes, and a very cool feature to annoy windows live msn users: you can send bulk nudges, without having to wait some seconds in between nudges. Very effective 😉 But we're diverging…
As I was saying, I like aMsn a lot, what I don't like as much is the language in which it is written: Tcl/Tk. But it was not like if I was going to start coding for amsn, so no worries. Until I found that there was no plugin (or any other way) to use OTR with amsn. So… learn Tcl? I've played with it for a very little while in college, but as I said, didn't like it. Coding in Python, for instance, would be a ton more fun.
Of course, the first thing I did Google for "amsn python"; and that's how I ended up in the emesene homepage. Gave it a try, and I've running it since. It lacks some things aMsn has, but overall it's very good, specially for such a young project. While surveying their homepage, found this blog entry:
This post is to encourage people who want to start coding for emesene and don't know how, for this you must have some understanding of programming, not necessary python.
The first pointer given is for a Python introduction (available on-line) book. I mention this here because, unlike other more "standard" introductions, this one gets right to the point: for instance, there are no "hello world!" scripts, you just get a fully functional script, that is educationally dissected during a couple of small chapters. Even if you already know Python, reading this will give you a pretty nice brush up. Now let's hope there's time to code.

Why am I not surprised by Napa's response...smh
Just because something is legal, doesn't make it right. Legality is a cop-out for when something smells bad, and feels wrong. If it looks bad, and smells bad, then there is something in there that's rotten. Trust your nose.
And just because you were never employed as a contractor, is not a reason to discount someone's opinion on this matter. Those trees belonged to the public, period. What their value is relative to the size of the project does not diminish their importance, nor does it diminish the stench, public or private.
