HYDROGEN ECONOMY: Cheap natural gas may prove invaluable to efforts to promote cars running on hydrogen fuel cells.
Image: Flickr/Earthworm
Read Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 of this series.
Only movie stars and select consumers have been able to get their hands on hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in the United States over the past few years, but now these zero-emissions cars are poised to bust onto the scene in a big way around 2015 to 2017.
A limited number of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) are available for lease today, and nearly all of them in California, where refueling stations are slowly cropping up.
Earlier this year, model-turned-actress Diane Kruger was spotted in the Mercedes-Benz F-Cell, the company's compact fuel cell car with a combined U.S. EPA rating of 52 mpg and a range of 190 miles per tank of hydrogen.
Actress Jamie Lee Curtis, another famous early adopter, has been seen driving the Honda Motor Co. FCX Clarity, which has an EPA rating of 60 mpg and 240-mile range.
EPA considered hydrogen fuel cell vehicles "game-changing" in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the new federal fuel economy standards, which require light-duty vehicles to reach a fleet average rating of 54.5 mpg by 2025. The agency included credits for automakers to build FCEVs in the regulation in hopes of accelerating their debut on the market.
California has been leading the way on the road to higher fuel economy. State regulations are pushing for 15 percent of the fleet to be zero-emissions vehicles by 2025. And by 2050, the California Air Resources Board projects that most vehicles in the state could run on hydrogen.
FCEVs enjoy many of the benefits of electric drive: They're quiet, handle well and have no tailpipe emissions. Unlike plug-in cars, they aren't limited by size, range or long recharging times. Drivers simply fill up on hydrogen -- where it's available -- and go.
"A lot of focus is on plug-in vehicles because they're being sold today. And yet, from the state and a policy perspective and the automakers' perspective, they realize [electric vehicles] are going to have limited appeal," said Catherine Dunwoody, executive director of the California Fuel Cell Partnership, a public-private collaboration working to promote the commercialization of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
"They really do see the fuel cell vehicle as an all-electric, zero-emission vehicle that truly replaces the cars we drive today," she said.
50,000 cars in California in 5 years?
Although it's still a long shot, the idea that FCEVs could one day replace conventional gasoline cars seems more likely today than ever before.
Department of Energy research has helped drive down the cost of automotive fuel cells by 80 percent. Results of a national FCEV demonstration found that, although less than the range on a tank of gasoline, the range on a tank of hydrogen has consistently increased, and now thousands of cars are being prepared to hit the market.
After decades of testing, automakers are expected to put 50,000 hydrogen fuel cell vehicles on the roads in California by 2017, according to Dunwoody.
Mercedes has said it plans to release a mass-produced FCEV in 2014 and will launch a hydrogen-powered SUV or large sedan in the coming years. Honda global CEO Takanobu Ito said last week that Honda considers the FCEV "the ultimate environmentally responsible vehicle" and will launch an all-new fuel cell electric model in Japan, followed by the United States and Europe starting in 2015.
Jim Lentz, president and CEO of Toyota Motor Corp.'s U.S. division, said his company will also add a hydrogen fuel cell sedan to its lineup in 2015 (Greenwire, Aug. 15).

Online Reservations
My wife and I had a great time at Maldaner's even though we were disappointed with their "signature" dish. Our bartender that evening was nice enough, but since we were the youngest ones in that evening and not from the area, she didn't seem too thrilled that we were at her bar. Although she did warm up as time went along, she never gave a vibe that she cared either way if we were there or not. Our server that evening was great. Very professional, and remembered that it was my wife's birthday and took care of dessert for her. The place was a bit empty for a Friday night, but it also isn't wasn't a great weather weekend for people to visit Springfield, IL. GREAT lobster bisque, the only thing really worth mentioning to get.
Dress up or down. Loved the variety of menu items and the food combinations and flavors. Very good deserts. Lunch menu is very different from dinner.
Always a great dining experience here. We were celebrating a milestone anniversary and were given a lovely quiet table as well as treated to dessert in honor of the occasion.
Maldaners is ALWAYS good! We love to meet our friends there for an above average meal before a night on the town. The food selection at Maldaners caters to all desires and is most often cooked perfectly. A meal for my wife and I with an appetizer and drinks is usually around $100 plus tip. I'm not a fan of the openness of the dining area, but we slip into ourselves while there anyway :)
My husband and I always have a nice time here. Great food, awesome wait staff.
The seared tuna loin was fantastic. Probably the best sashimi tuna I have ever eaten. We had wonderful wedding anniversary dinner.
Maldaners is a lovely spot to eat inside or out. It faces the Old Capitol Bldg in Springfield, Illinois. I loved my Beef Wellington a menu staple and as an appetizer I had a lovely miso soup with duck wontons. The service is excellent and even the TV over the bar had public tv on. I recommend this wonderful restaurant.
We had a party of 10 for a business dinner. The service was great, the food was great and we were able to converse without a problem. We would definitely go back again when in the Springfield area.
What a find! So glad we picked this restaurant for one of our two nights in Springfield. Everything was superior... from appetizer to dessert. Service exemplary. Food perfect. We loved it. No wonder if was so busy on a weeknight! A real treat.
Put in a reservation because you never know when senate is in session and it can get very crowded! This restaurant seems to be a late night place for an intimate dinner. Service was excellent. Their beef wellington is the best! It's a signature entree that delivers every time! I've had other items on the menu on other visits. All are prepared with the freshest ingredients. It comes as no surprise that the chef uses local organic vegetables. I also had their goat cheese salad. It's a must if you like goat cheese! The presentation of the food is excellent! Food is a bit on the expensive side, but you get what you pay for.
Loved it, and can't say a bad thing about the restaurant.
I just love this place. Plain and simple. The service is hit or miss depending on which server you get. Some are more attentive than others.
My wife and I took our youngest daughter, her husband and two kids for dinner Saturday night. The weather was perfect for outdoor dining and the service was excellent. The food was great and we each had something different. Michael, the owner, was very considerate in showing our daughter the restaurant's rooftop garden where he has bee hives and grows different herbs. It was a fine experience.
I chose Maldaner's for my parents visiting because I trust the excellent and creative execution of traditional American food. All diners were extremely satisfied, with 3 of 4 in our party ordering perfectly cooked seafood plates. I wish the sea bass which was on special would become a permanent menu offering! Excellent meal and experience.
Our wine group from St Louis dined there during our recent trip to Springfield to see the Lincoln Museum. We found Maldaner's on opentable.com and were thrilled with our experience there. Food was exceptional and loved the ambience. We will be back!!!
We never expected to find such an outstanding restaurant in Springfield. Lots of ambience, delicious food and when we had a question, the chef came out and gave us a history of the restaurant. Warm and friendly.
We had a great dinner despite a hiccup with one of my dinner guests being called away for an emergency before the main course was served. The waiter did a great job of monitoring when to approach our table during business discussions. I was impressed. I had one minor complaint about the food. I ordered an ahi seared tuna entree. the portion size was ample and much bigger than expected, but it was cold. I mean cold. (I wonder if they could repurpose it as an cold appetizer? I'm sure it would be delicious.) A cold entree was not what I expected and I mentioned it to the waiter. I was surprised that he removed it from our bill. My colleague shared her salmon dish with me. It was excellent. I would definitely go to Maldaner's again
Lovely spot, food was wonderful, and the service great. We had a wonderful time, my wife was so happy.
Great dinner featuring a full menu of options that featured locally grown and raised food whenever possible. The pumpkin squash soup was a good opener with a fresh green salad finished with just the right amount of dressing. Wild caught salmon encrusted with pistachios and an Asian sauce with mashed potatoes and fresh veggies were excellent. And the fall apple crisp was a wonderful ending. The quiet surrounding was interrupted when a large group come into the restaurant. We were attended to promptly and no glass was ever empty or need left unnoticed. Looking forward to our next evening there.
The food is always great. The menu has enough variety, without being overwhelming. Dessert was fantastic!
Maldaner's always has some interesting specials that focus on local foods whenever possible. The preparation and presentation are generally excellent. Their prices are in the normal range, Cocktails are good. It is a good spot for the mature diner, but you rarely see younger people there.
The food was good, but service a little slow and forgetful. It's reputation precedes , but it's pretty hard to ruin salads.
We visit Springfield about twice a year and always eat at Maldaner's. Always excellent food, good service and a nice atmosphere. The best in Springfield in our opinion. Highly recommend the Beef Wellington.
Think you have to leave Springfield to find great food and great wine? Think again. Maldaner's is a great place for anyone who enjoys inventive food locally sourced where you feel as comfortable in jeans as you do in heels. Chef Michael is always looking to feature locally raised meats and produce in season with a Midwest flare that is anything but plain. I had the Wild Mushroom Ragu over polenta and it was great. I asked the bartender to select a wine and the wine she picked - a Grenache - was perfect. For an informal and fun evening, join her at the bar for dinner. You won't regret it.
The atmosphere was great. We went there for my wife's birthday and it could not have been better. The waiter was very friendly and provided great service. He even gave her a surprise dessert for free. Food was delicious. She had the veal and I had the filet. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who likes great food and good wine!!

I am doing this using bigbrother and larrd. You only need to change the script that calculates the load (probably bb-local.sh) to use ruptime instead of uptime and then simply add up the numbers. I don't know whether you want to to fancier things, but I just have a bigbrother client running on the master node and collect all data from the slave nodes using r-commands.

Hi Abby -
Sure, it's firstname.lastname@example.com.
Good luck with your recovery!
Hi Abbie -
My name is Tim Harwood, also a recent arrival in Silver Spring. Having frequented public courts near Pentagon City, I've grown tired of the slog and am looking for hitting partners closer to home. As a precaution, I'm a 4.0 lefty who recognizes the latter half of that description tends to scare off a lot of people. I'm available evenings or weekends.
Hope to hear from you,

Hi Abbie - thanks for reach out. I'd love to hit sometime. Feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and we can set up something. Take care,
Hello Abby. Just got your posting in regards to playing tennis? I usually play over at the Olney Sports Complex (Intersection of Georgia Avenue and Emory Road) every Tuesday from 6:30 pm onwards.

(Published: August 28, 2013)
Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett joins fellow members of the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS) in reminding citizens that September is National Voter Registration Month. Secretary Hargett is working with county election officials to make eligible voters aware of registration deadlines and requirements, as well as promoting voter registration. "The right to vote should never be taken for granted," said Secretary Hargett, who is also president of NASS. "I encourage all eligible United States citizens to register if they haven't already. Also, it's important for people who have moved to make sure voter registration records are updated with their current address information." Statement Regarding This Week's U.S. Supreme Court Ruling Concerning Arizona's Citizenship Verification Law (Arizona et al v. United States)
(Published: June 21, 2013)
It is our opinion that the recent Supreme Court ruling does not impact our current process in Tennessee for verifying citizenship for voters. Arizona rejected new voter registrations that did not include proof of citizenship, such as birth certificates. Our process in Tennessee is different. We do not require that type of documentation when registering to vote. However, each registering voter must swear under penalty of perjury that he or she is a citizen. We do have a process of verifying citizenship, but that process is only used if we have evidence a person is not a U.S. citizen and is therefore ineligible to be included on our voter rolls. Secretary Hargett Announces Changes to Photo ID Law
(Published: April 25, 2013)
The General Assembly amended Tennessee's voter photo identification law during its recently-concluded legislative session. Amendments sponsored by Senator Bill Ketron (R-Murfreesboro) and Representative Susan Lynn (R-Mount Juliet) seek to clarify and strengthen the law that was successfully implemented during the 2012 election cycle. Voters may no longer use photo IDs issued by other states as acceptable forms of identification when voting in person. This change mirrors similar laws in other states, including Indiana. Indiana's photo ID law has been upheld by the United States Supreme Court. County Election Commissioners

(Published: December 17, 2012)
Eleven Electoral College representatives from across Tennessee met in Nashville Monday to cast the state's presidential votes for Republican nominee Mitt Romney and his vice-presidential running mate, Paul Ryan. Like most states, Tennessee's votes in the Electoral College are allocated based on a "winner take all" system – which means the electors pledged to award all 11 of the state's votes to the candidate who received the highest amount of votes statewide in the Nov. 6 general election. Results of Monday's meeting of the electors will be forwarded to Washington, D.C., where Congress is scheduled to meet in a joint session Jan. 6 to accept the results from all 50 states. The Division of Elections is headed by the Coordinator of Elections, Mark Goins, who oversees the election process in the State of Tennessee. The Coordinator of Elections works directly with ninety-five (95) local county election commissions, candidates and the public on election related issues. The county election commissions are appointed by the State Election Commission. There are ninety-five (95) county election commission offices throughout the State.

Yummy stereo goods at Dijital Fix, giant sheep party, Soul Clap, Wolf + Lamb, Maurice Fulton, more nightlife
SUPER EGO Anyone who's gone to grab my ass and resurfaced 20 minutes later with a handful of vintage Safeway plastic bags and several torn free condom wrappers holding pre-chewed wads of Gonzo Grape Bubblicious knows I'm not really into "bling," as the kids these days say in 1997. Who needs $525 Alejandro Ingelmo gold-trimmed "Tron" sneakers when you can just wear discarded DSW boxes! Cheap and proud lady right here.
Yet when it comes to music, I'll skip that second vegan cheeseburger and lay my pocket money down for great sound. A few years ago, a $99 pair of Bose IE2 Audio earbuds changed my life. "Oh," I recall exclaiming aloud. "This is that 'bass' that people keep talking about." And my vinyl addiction has reached Lohan-ic heights of insanity, minus all that fake tan and meh.
Thus the jaw basically dropped when I stepped into the new Dijital Fix store in the Mission (820 Valencia, SF. www.dijitalfix.com), which specializes in terribly hip and yummy stereo equipment. Gorgeous transparent speakers by People People, retro-orange Crosley portable USB turntables, hypersleek AIAIAI Tracks headphones ... big, big puddle of electronic drool.
Dijital Fix is a Brooklyn transplant, and we already have a couple of great homegrown, high-end audio product stores with Audiovision (1603 Pine, SF. www.audiovisionsf.com) and House of Music (410 Harriet, SF. www.houseofmusicsf.com). The Fix, however, may be more approachable than those excellent specialty spots, especially to the uninitiated looking for a candy-colored stereo starter kit with Space Age Bachelor Pad sex appeal. I'll take three of everything to go.
Ah, Burning Man — it brings all the DJs to the yard. On their way to Black Rock City: Boston's finest, Soul Clap, and their bros in excellent recombinant '90s tunes Wolf + Lamb (see below). Clappers Elyte and Cnyce once helped redefine the history of dance music by daring to play the rarest slow jams and New Jack Swing — "Yes We Still Play Vinyl" is the name of this appearance — perfectly contextualized into acid house and Boyz II Men grooves. They got sidetracked by trying to become pop stars themselves, but they're still sexy and fun on the decks.
Wed/21, 9pm, $10-20. Monarch, 101 Sixth St., SF. www.monarchsf.com
The goth-rap, crunk-funk, witch-dizzle monthly celebrates a triple, with host Marco de la Vega's inimitable mind-altering aplomb. Local face-melting bass hero Salva headlines, while resident DJs Santa Muerte and Chauncey CC drag out everything from Wocka to Skinny Puppy. Congrats.
Fri/23, 10pm, $15. Elbo Room, 647 Valencia, SF. www.facebook.com/120minutes
Who doesn't want to spend Friday night surrounded by men in wet towels? Frisky promoter Walter Gomez's packed monthly, charitable, steam-themed party with special guest DJ Rolo is the terrycloth ticket. Yes, it's gay and half-naked, but it's also not happening on the Internet, so it feels subversive. Plus: good dancing, and it benefits the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence
Fri/23, 10pm, $5. Powerhouse, 1347 Folsom, SF. www.tinyurl.com/steam0813
A good set of Headphones makes the world of difference to the clarity of sound for any DJ i would skip a 100 cheese burgers just so i can buy new equipment for my mobile disco set up.

As of Friday, April 19, 2013
© Copyright 2013
Gwinnett Daily Post
SUWANEE -- An eighth-grade student from Hull Middle School has been recognized by Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle for winning third place in his division for the 2013 Manufacturing Appreciation Week Student Design Contest.
Dong Ouk (Joseph) Chung participated in the competition as part of Manufacturing Appreciation Week, which was developed by the Technical College System of Georgia and the Georgia Department of Economic Development to recognize the contribution of manufacturing to Georgia's economy.
"We're so impressed by Joseph and the rest of the students that participated in this competition. It's great to see students at such a young age take interest in manufacturing in their home communities," said David McCulloch, vice president of Economic Development at Gwinnett Tech, a TCSG college.
The student design competition involved school-aged children from across Georgia submitting artwork depicting the importance of manufacturing to their lives and communities. Winners were named for grades 9-12, 6-8, and K-5.
For Chung's award-winning entry, he created a collage by drawing different company symbols that best represent the manufacturers of Georgia, including Atlanta-based Delta Airlines. His winning effort netted him a $100 scholarship check, presented by Lt. Gov. Cagle, at the MAW Governor's Awards Luncheon held at the Georgia International Convention Center.
"I was really excited to meet Lieutenant Governor Cagle. We were recently learning about him in my social studies class, so it was great to get the opportunity to meet and talk to him in person. I also enjoy drawing and painting, and this design contest gave me experience entering art competitions," Chung said.

Washington, DC Wednesday, March 14, 2012
British Prime Minister David Cameron is in the United States for an official visit this week. After meeting with the President earlier in the day, the Prime Minister and his wife attended a dinner at the White House Wednesday.
The official visit began with an arrival ceremony Wednesday. The official event featured a presentation of troops and remarks from both the president and prime minister.
Following the ceremony, the President and Prime Minister held bilateral meetings on a wide range of issues, including the upcoming NATO and G-8 summits.
After meeting together in the Oval Office, the two leaders held a joint press conference in the White House Rose Garden.
"Our alliance is not one of convenience but rather a matter of conviction," stated P.M. Cameron during his opening remarks. He continued by stating Britain's insurance that they will help insure that Afghanistan is capable for its own security. "We will not give up on this mission," said the Prime Minister, "it must not be a safe haven for terrorists."
The president and first lady will welcome Prime Minister Cameron and his wife to the White House for a state dinner in the evening.
On Tuesday, the prime minister and the president traveled to Dayton, Ohio, to attend the opening game of the NCAA Men's Basketball championship. First Lady Michelle Obama and Samantha Cameron participated in a dinner preview with DC-area school children and girls from a secondary school in London that the First Lady visited during her first official international trip there.
The President attended a state dinner hosted by the Queen during his trip to London in May of last year. President George W. Bush held a state dinner for the Queen during her visit to the United States in 2007.

Over 8k points today with some downtime on both rigs. Looks like the 5770 is helping a lot. Should be in the top 100 in no time
The morning update places me four spots away from pie. I used to be about 10-14 spots away. I'll be happy adding another card, I still have or slot available
I think a GT240 would do you well 4-5k PPD, ~70w, an small/quiet Although another 9800GX2 would be awesome
How much are GX2's as far as PPD? I can just buy my buddy a decent card for cheap. And get my GX2 back? Or i can trade my 8800's for the GX2? What do you think about that?
Deffo trade the 8800s for the GX2!!!!! The 8800s are probably 8k together, the GX2 is a single card (D'oh) and does 10-12k. And then you'd have more room for cards!
Sure when I get the new setup going I will. I can fold with one 8800 and one gx2 right? In the same rig?
I'm running a PCP&C 860 Turbo cool. got more than enough The 8800 is a six pin, which In total have four, and the gx2 is another six and a 8 which it has two eights. So I'll be good. Setting up the client should be the same as now just adding another gpu thingy right? How do I go about setting up the client on the GX2, would just one client use both cores correctly or do I have to disable SLi or what?
Sweet Chicken Pattry! I think you have to disable SLi, and run a program for each card(I could be wrong tho) --- I'm ALMOST in the top 100(took forever it seems lol) 105th place. With just really crunching on a 9800GTX stock, and the cheapest non l3 cache AMD quad core stock speeds(while also folding BONIC 100%). Not bad looking today Average 3,924 points
Buck's Folding Essentials/Tutorials You're probably looking for this... HOW TO: Set up two nvidia clients You must use two different Machine ID #s, i.e 2 & 3 and two different switches, -gpu 0 & -gpu 1 for the first and second card when you set up the two clients. Be sure to use the console clients. You probably will need a dummy vga dongle on the second card. --------------------------- I've got my GTX 460 running. GTX 460 Testing Stock (as reported by EVGA Precision) Core: 675 MHz Shader: 1350 MHz Memory: 1800 MHz Fan Speed (Auto): 43% GPU Temp: 62C GPU3 Core 15 TPF: 00:01:01 PPD: 8654 When this WU completes I'll see if I can't get a better PPD.
Very nice Msgclb. I have 2 GTX470's running myself (will post screenies later). @CP-no need to disable SLI on that GX2 as long as you put a dummy plug on the 2nd GPU and have 2 different machine ID's (just like someone else said).
To clarify msgclb's post about the PPD with the GTX460 (768MB IIRC), does anyone know what PPD the GTX285 gets with GPU3?
62 C @ 43 % fan speed is nice. Can you hear it at all? I'm sure that that GPU is good for >800 MHz core / 1600 MHz shader and if it scales well this could bring home more then 10.000 PPD. Can't wait till I get mine. I'm done with -bigadv - just lost one, and not due to UNSTABLE MACHINE. GPU folding FTW
Here's my first attempt at OC'ing my GTX 460. This GTX460 is the 768MB version. I can't hear the fan but my hearing has been degrade by 20 years of working around jet engines. Also my AC is having a hard time with the 95F (feels like 105F) outside temps. I didn't have a clue what OC setting to use so started with close to the EVGA GTX 460 SC. It wasn't until I started the GPU3 client that I realized I didn't change the memory clock. More GTX 460 Testing OC Settings (as reported by EVGA Precision) Core: 761 MHz Shader: 1522 MHz Memory: 1800 MHz Fan Speed (Auto): 40% GPU Temp: 64C GPU3 Core 15 TPF: 00:00:55 PPD: 9598 After some Google searches I believe that a >800 core clock and a +10,000 PPD will be possible.
OMG, that card will o/c like nobody's business. Should at least be good for 850/1800+/1800. Crank up that fan and let us know what is stable with GPU-3. Wow, sorta reminds me of the O/C's you could pull on the 8800GS/9600GSO's. Can you measure wattage?
I need a 3rd card, I have some stuff to trade. I will post it when I get a chance to see what all I have.

The World of Webrings is primarily a Discussion Group about webrings. A discussion group that has 2 interfaces, and a supporting website. The Mailing List interface and the Forum interface (new Oct 2006).
These interfaces allows members to participate in discussions using their email client or the web.
All mailing list postings are archived in the Mailing List Archive, with this archive having the ability to be searched using the search tool provided on the Mailing List page.
Searching the Mailing List Archive is often the best way to find the answer to what ever question/s you might have about webrings. It is often best to do a search of both the archive and the website before asking a question, a question that might have already been answered previously...
The Posting Guidelines found on the Mailing List page should be reviewed before posting your first message. For reasons of security and avoiding Spam it is required that you first subscribe to the Mailing List and Register with the Forum.
This website is the result of the collaborative effort of some experienced ringmasters engaged in the webring community.
Our mission is to define and develop the webring concept, and to promote public awareness, acceptance, exploration and enjoyment of webrings, by sharing experiences and providing resources and practical help to ringmasters and members.
If you would like to become an editor the first step is to subscribe to our Mailing List so that you can get familiarized, we always need help around here! You don't have to be a webring expert to help out either, we all have various talents to offer!
Below read some of our latest news !
At the request of a member Ringmaster I have just added a new Ringlink feature to the WOW Webring System. It prevents Spam in the form of automatic submissions of new sites to your webring. It's a simple cookie solution, which isn't as safe as CAPTCHA, but on the other hand your members are not bothered with extra typing. The Ringlink Developer says it has proved to be very effective, with automatic Spam sites that he had previously received on the Ringlink Demo Ring, having ceased completely. See the debate.
Please feel free to activate the new feature by clicking the Edit ring button in Ringadmin, and then placing a check mark next to where it says Prevent automatic (Spam) submissions of sites.
This new feature is not compatible with using separate off system forms on your webring's homepage. In other words, if you enable the feature, new sites need to be submitted using a link from your webring's homepage to the system's 'newsite.pl' page else the program will not function as expected. So, if using off system forms for your webring you would need not enable this new feature.
If you have any issues concerning this new feature please contact Ringlink Development.
Ringlink is the engine that powers this system. If a Ringlink System Admin, you can get the updated files here.
Pete WOW Webring System
The World of Webrings now has it's own Webring Directory.
Webrings are a fun and easy way to find groups of websites with related content. Each website in a webring is linked to another by a simple navigation bar, allowing you to easily visit each website in the ring. Each webring is managed by a Ringmaster or ring owner. Questions or comments about one of the rings in our directory should be directed to the Ringmaster for that ring.
Please feel free to add your Webring (having at least 3 member sites) to the directory, or browse our list of categories to visit any ring listed in the directory.
If you would like to join any of the rings listed in our directory please contact the Ringmaster for the ring that you are interested in for details. Contact information for each Ringmaster is listed along with the description for each ring.
This is a directory where you can list your webring no matter what webring system is hosting it, and/or what webring program is powering it. The Webring of Excellence is for rings listed in the directory, rings that meet this ring's criteria for excellence, and have at least 15 member sites.
Open to all webrings that are listed in the World of Webrings Webring Directory, and having at least 15 member websites. These webrings can be any webrings that are owned and operated by a WOW member, and hosted on or powered by any webring system or webring program!
PS: To be listed in the Directory you only need to have 1 member website, but to be listed in this Webring you must have at least 15 member websites, and meet all the WOW's requirements for excellence in webring design and management: Quality
We now have 2 new WOW webrings:
The WOW Resource Webring which is open to all websites that explain, explore, and/or feature the various aspects of a webring system, a webring, or both. The aim of this webring is to provide all our members and guests with the opportunity to access all webring related resources to be found on the world wide web. Webring resources that either add to or enhance those webring related resources already available here within this website.
The WOW Member's Webring which is open to all websites whose webmaster is a member of the World of Webrings website. To join you must use your 'WOW Member ID' as your 'Site ID', and each member can only have 1 website join the ring. This website can be any website that is owned and operated by the WOW member. The aim of this webring is for WOW members to better know each other, by visiting each other's websites!
Note: These 2 webrings are hosted by the WOW Resource Webring System, a webring system powered by the Ringlink Webring Program, a program which was created by Gunnar who is a founding member of this website.

Mild HeadacheMild headaches are common but usually do not represent a serious illness. They result from irritation or injury to pain-sensing structures of the head. Symptoms of mild headache pain include aching, squeezing, or bandlike pain, on both sides of the head, generally above the level of the eyebrows. Treatment includes a variety of self-care measures and over-the-counter medications.

Mild Headache Overview
Comment on this
Headaches are common but usually do not represent a serious illness. Even when headaches do not have a serious cause, they may be quite painful and disrupt daily activities. There are many different causes of headache. The pain in different types of headache varies in intensity, location, and duration. Another important feature that helps distinguish among different types of headache is the quality of the pain -- whether it is sharp, dull, constant, intermittent, or pounding. Additional symptoms may accompany a headache:
All these factors help determine whether or not a headache needs emergency treatment. Ultimately, the cause of the headache determines the best treatment.

Actually, there weren't such a great view from the balcony, which we were looking for. Hotel is on the second floor. Location is really good, 5 minutes from the Egyptian museum by foot, 5 minutes from the bus station by taxi. Staff is helpful and affable. But when we asked about tea, they didn't tell us that it have to be paid. We knew about that before living. Room was clean, but there were cockroaches.

EMBALLAGE 2012: An Exceptional 40th Show
40 exhibitions demonstrating breakthroughs and innovations in worldwide packaging
From 19 to 22 November 2012, the international packaging actors have made a date to meet in Paris in order to learn about and explore the latest thinking and innovation in packaging. All the demands in the packaging chain are covered, from raw materials to finished product, not forgetting the related machinery and services. This 40th exhibition aims to be both an exceptional platform for exchanging information, sourcing and inspiration to the packaging industry and to show that innovation is, more than ever, at the centre of the user companies' strategic challenges.
According to Véronique Sestrières, Exhibition Director, "the key thread running through the 40th EMBALLAGE exhibition is PACK SMART! Innovations & Solutions, Everything you Need to Know in highlighting all the intelligence present in the sector overall. In spite of multiple and converging demands, arising either from user market diversity, complex regulations or economic climate, the packaging industry has demonstrated exceptional capability to innovate. And the 40th anniversary of EMBALLAGE is a dazzling occasion to prove so!"
EMBALLAGE 2012 means:
1,300 exhibitors + 500 brands, 55% of whom display an international offering
More than 470 new exhibitors, 65% of whom are international
90,000 visitors expected
100 countries represented, exhibitors and visitors combined
A global market now driven by the emerging economies
Global packaging production, estimated to be worth $670bn in 2010, is anticipated to reach $820bn in 2016 according to the latest market research by Pira International. This growth is essentially driven by urbanisation, investment in construction, the development of the health sector, and the rise of emerging and transitional economies such as China, India, Brazil and certain Eastern European countries. Their greater purchasing power is set to generate increased demand in household equipment together with consumables and packaging.
China's packaging market, estimated to be worth $80bn in 2010, is forecasted to rise to $137bn in 2017 and so to overtake the USA as the world's top market. India's market, having doubled in the last nine years, is reported to have entered the Top 10 markets worldwide and is likely to double again in the next five years, capping $24bn.
The French industry benefited from a resurgent upswing in 2011
After posting some 10% growth in 2010, the French packaging industry exceeds €19bn turnover once again (i.e. 10.2% growth versus 2010). This growth is partly due to price increases.
Despite subdued demand, price pressure and suffering exports, the French market is still attractive. Know-how, innovation and eco-design are its very foundations as far as manufacturers, equipment makers and their customers, the packers, are concerned. Lastly, ICD Research reports that the French packaging machinery industry, whose 2010 turnover stands at $1.093bn, will record average annual growth of 4.9% by 2015.
Each industry holds its own show at EMBALLAGE 2012!
A multi-sector exhibition with the offering to go with it, EMBALLAGE has strengthened its "exhibition within the exhibition" strategy. Strengthened online and offline sectoral communication prior to the exhibition, targeting the major business user communities in addition to specific visiting tools, dedicated conferences and appropriate signs in the halls (B&L, Food, Luxury, Beauty, Health and Multi-industry) mean that the forthcoming show has a customised offering for each industry. As is fitting for a 40th anniversary, the EMBALLAGE 2012 programme of events is particularly rich in meetings, emotions and new features. In 2012, KEEP PACE WITH:

Special offer made to Valley season ticket holders
1:19pm Wednesday 10th October 2012 in Sport
CHARLTON season ticket holders can gain free entry for their women's team's Premier League cup clash with Brighton at Thamesmead Town's Bayliss Avenue ground on Sunday.
While the men's team have the weekend off, the Charlton women's side go into their second league cup game off the back of successive wins, showcasing two different sides to their game.
Two weeks ago they demolished Portsmouth 7-2 at home thanks to a Gemma Bryan hat-trick before traveling to Cardiff and coming away with a hard-fought 1-0 win, Bryan getting the goal once again.
The Addicks' first league cup group stage game was a convincing 4-1 win over rivals Gillingham and, with the confidence flowing, caretaker manager Bill Long hopes to make a real impact on the competition.
He said: "It will be a good game against Brighton. We want to do well in the cups and go as far as we can so we will put out our strongest possible team. Hopefully we can dig out another win.
"They are going to come out and up their game because they are coming to a National Division side and we have to be ready for that.
"We can't underestimate them and think it is going to be a walk in the park. We have to dig in and play well and put Brighton under pressure."
"Going forward we are looking really good. Although we missed three or four good chances [against Cardiff we are creating chances, which is good."
Ticket prices for Sunday's 2pm kick-off between Charlton and Thamesmead Town for non season ticket holders are adults £4, concessions £2.
