ABOUT OZONE: Ozone is a rare component of our atmosphere; there are about three molecules of ozone per every 10 million air molecules, and yet it plays a vital role in human health. Most ozone (90%) can be found in an upper layer of the earth's atmosphere called the stratosphere. It is beneficial because it absorbs most of the damaging ultraviolet sunlight, which can cause skin cancers, among other conditions. The remaining 10% of ozone can be found in a lower region called the troposphere. Here, it reacts with other molecules to produce smog, which has toxic effects on crops, forest growth, and human health.
SMOG MAKES BREATHING DIFFICULT: Smog is generally formed when ground level ozone, fine particles and other chemicals react on hot days. Smog and other pollution can trigger asthma attacks. Smog can make breathing difficult and make human beings more susceptible to cardio-respiratory diseases. People already suffering from heart or lung disease are particularly affected. The two main ingredients in smog that affect human health are ground-level ozone and fine airborne particles.
The American Meteorological Society, the American Geophysical Union, INFORMS, the American Mathematical Society, and the Mathematical Association of America contributed to the information contained in the TV portion of this report.

Head shift (another one)
Our life in Dodoma has got a pretty good rhythm now. For the time being, I mostly know what to expect. We're feeling pretty well together and not isolated. There's tiredness, but no shell-shock.
I'm always casting around for new experiences; it's part of what drives me. I'm always animated by innovation, exploration, and the possibility of discovery. And, after a couple of months living here in Tanzania, Swahili lost its newness — so I automatically started fishing for something new. I continued with my regular practice of navigating trends in Australia and USA. I continued reading a lot, mostly online, most of it funnelled through social media; most of it, in effect, headlines.

Some employers have embraced the use of employment arbitration agreements as a way to manage and mitigate the rising costs, risks and liabilities associated with employment-related claims. Historically, employment arbitration agreements require employees to present employment-related claims, such as employment discrimination, wrongful discharge, harassment, or claims for wages or compensation to an arbitrator, in lieu of proceeding to court.

The Daytona Beach Police Department has confirmed multiple people were injured as a result of a crash that occurred during the last lap at Saturday's Nationwide Series race at Daytona International Speedway.
NASCAR officials said 14 people were taken to the hospital, including one driver, Michael Annette. 14 people were treated at the track and were released.
PHOTOS: Photos show crash aftermath in Daytona
According to Halifax Health, seven people were transported to Daytona Halifax Health location directly from the crash. Of those seven, there is one pediatric patient that is listed in critical, but stable condition with non-life threatening injuries. Two others are listed as critical/stable.
Officials said six patients from the track were taken to the Halifax Port Orange location and are in stable condition.
Another person was taken to a different hospital in the area.
VIDEO: YouTube video of crash (WARNING: Contains strong language)
Eddie Huckaby, 53, of Krum, Texas was one of the people injured and taken to Halifax Health in Daytona. His brother, Terry Huckaby of Hendersonville, Tenn. (near Nashville), told Local 6 Eddie is OK.
"He's in there, he's doing fine and the first thing he said is 'I don't want to miss that race, but I have to watch on TV," said Huckaby.
Huckaby said Eddie underwent surgery for a large gash on his leg after a big piece of metal flew into the stands and hit him.
"A motor was sitting in the stands," said Huckaby recalling the crash. "The wheel with a brake drum on it, and everything flying over your head, and debris everywhere."
Huckaby says he is rooting for all those who were hurt during Saturday's crash.
"In all honesty, I know it's a lot of people hurt out there and I'm just rooting for them," said Huckaby. "I know my brother is OK, and he's going to be fine they said, but the other people, I don't know."

NASCAR said they will be reviewing what debris came off and where it landed in the grandstands. The debris hit the grandstands right behind the fence. They said strict fencing will go up, but they do not have time to put the crossover gate back up.
Repairs to the fence are going on right now in preparation for Sunday, said NASCAR.
Daytona International Speedway President Joie Chitwood provided the following statement Saturday evening:
First and foremost, our thoughts and prayers are with our race fans.
Following the incident, we responded appropriately according to our safety protocols and had emergency medical personnel at the incident immediately.
We transported 14 people off property and 14 were treated at our on-track care center.
We are in the process of repairing the facility, and we will be ready to go racing tomorrow.
As emergency workers tended to injured fans and ambulance sirens wailed in the background, a somber Tony Stewart skipped the traditional post-race victory celebration following the NASCAR Nationwide Series race Saturday at Daytona International Speedway.
A last-lap accident sent rookie Kyle Larson's car sailing into the fence that separates the track from the seats, and large chunks of Larson's car landed in the grandstands. The car itself had its entire front end sheared off, with a piece of burning engine wedged through a gaping hole in the fence.
Neither NASCAR nor Daytona International Speedway officials had any immediate comment on potential injuries.

Cellar/Tasting Notes A brilliant effort from well-known oenologists Dany and Michel Rolland, the 2009 Bon Pasteur is dominated by Merlot, with a touch of Cabernet Franc included in the blend.

Buried lives up to its name on a few levels, but the most unfortunate one might have to do with its marketing. If I weren't on the lookout for Buried, I would never have known it was playing in town. On the weekend before Halloween where Clint Eastwood's Hereafter gives the supernatural a veneer of Academy bait and Paranormal Activity 2 tries to cash in on the moderately effective original (that was barely original) to pull down the big box office -- while next week sees Saw add a 3rd dimension to the reasons it sucks -- the little, indie gem that is Buried will be just that.
And that's sad because Buried is the real McCoy. A simple premise, with an even simpler execution that's easily the best suspense film I've seen all year, bolstered by Ryan Reynolds (Van Wilder, who knew?) intense and harrowing performance. Dead though he may be, Hitchcock's dried up maw must be cracking a grin. Or maybe it's just cracking. Being an erstwhile air-breather means never having to re-hydrate with corporate water.
That may sound like a weird dual jab at a dead master filmmaker and Gatorade, but the cold-bloodedness of corporate deniability is a theme in Buried and the film draws parallels from that immorality to the evils perpetrated by the citizens of the countries those corporations enable us to invade and occupy. As bad as the enemy may be, their motivation is all the same -- money. It's just the difference in the means of getting it.
Or you could ignore the politics and just see a ballsy suspense film that piles sickening levels of desperate tension on Reynolds as we spend an entire film claustrophobically trapped in a box with him. It still works wonderfully, either way.
Paul Conroy (Reynolds) is a contract truck driver working in Iraq when his convoy is attacked by insurgents. When he awakens -- where the film begins -- he finds himself buried alive in a pinewood coffin under the sand with, initially, nothing more than a Zippo lighter. While he comes to grips with the situation, a cell phone begins vibrating away and after some contortions inside the slender confines of the coffin he manages to get a hold of it. It's his captor. He demands $5 million dollars and wants Conroy to get it if he ever wants to see the surface again.
Conroy starts making calls. His family can't help. He's a father and husband who took the contracting job nine months earlier because of the horrible economy. In one exchange on the phone with his captor he tries desperately to explain that he's not a soldier or a military contractor (the swarthy-voiced Arab accuses him of working for Blackwater), simply a truck driver. When he tries to call his company, he gets voice mail -- he was given a safety number for just such a occasion but it was taken in a creepy sign that he is not the first from his company to suffer such a fate -- and when he finally gets through to the State Department, who put him in touch with a special unit that specializes in contractor hostage rescues, he quickly gets the idea they are just as interested in keeping the situation quiet as they are in finding him.
I have to resist the urge to dissect this films near nihilistic dystopia concerning corporate/military synergy and the consequences on expendable human life -- I've felt nothing like it since Verhoeven's Ropocop -- because that would do a disservice to the films true triumph; squeezing a deluge of suspense from its wickedly simple premise.
Directed by Rodrigo Cortés from a freshman feature script by Chris Sparling (both of whom I'll be keeping an eye on), the film makes the most out of its Spartan confines and concept. Edgar Allan Poe may have put the fear of burial alive on the map but The Premature Burial's narrator never found his cataleptic fears realized until the end of the story. Buried doubles down on that phobia by making it the whole conceit, taking that fear and giving it a modern context to make it that much more horrifying. Cortés capitalizes on that with his minimalist camera work (he really had no choice) that manages to remain varied and claustrophobic at once, while giving the viewer the uncanny feeling of being trapped in the box, too.
But it's really the script that sets the aesthetic and it sticks to its guns. Played with a queasy realism, Buried gamely utilizes the cynics view of the military's habit of combat revisionism (i.e. Pat Tillman) and the reptilian corporate aversion to liability in brutally smart and subtle ways, while icing the cake with a torturously suspenseful story that is solely carried by Ryan Reynolds career-defining performance.
Reynolds is best known for his comedic turns in Van Wilder, Waiting... and Best Friends (seemingly though sheer repetition on Comedy Central), but has been lately straddling a strange path that sees him balancing the comedic/romantic leading man types with serious action heroes in Blade: Trinity and X-Men Origins: Wolverine (where he played Deadpool, who is also getting his own movie). All things considered, Buried represents another shrewd and strange turn in revealing Reynolds considerable talents. It is easily his best performance.
You can see Conroy's logic at work as he wracks his brain for every possible avenue of escape and as the story peels back the layers on his character Reynolds adeptly weaves an emotional arc that mines dramatic territory, which should be a wet dream for any actor. Aside from some voices on the phone and a brief video Conroy sees on his cell, he's the only person we see or hear (hat-tip to the great sound design). It would make an amazing one-man play. Reynolds completely carries it with a performance that is intense and yet still veined with his inherent sense of cocky humor.
The next time you see Reynolds will probably be in The Green Lantern, but it's a film like Buried that has me hoping he's the kind of actor that does one for commerce and one for art. He can clearly handle both. Buried isn't a perfect film but it is damn near flawless at what it's doing.
See it this Halloween and skip the familiar.
Walk Like an Egyptian
When I learned Atom Egoyan had a small hand in getting Cairo Time made the film made a bit more sense to me. Egoyan always had an appreciation for mapping the inner architecture of the sexes and that is most certainly what writer/director Ruba Nadda aims to do. The Best Canadian Feature Film winner, in fact, seems to dilute Egoyan. Were this his film, Patricia Clarkson would have had earth shattering sex with Alexander Siddig in the moonlit pyramid shadows of Giza.
While Cairo Time is (somewhat disappointingly) more subtle -- and chaste -- than something like Chloe, its subtle story, as leisurely paced as the meandering Nile itself, has the charms of its leads to provide its current.
Juliette (Clarkson) is a writer for Vogue who is set to meet her husband in Cairo for a vacation. Unfortunately, her husband, Mark (Tom McCamus) works in the Gaza Strip for the U.N. coordinating the refugee camps. Mark can't make it to Egypt so he has his close friend, Tareq (Siddig) meet Juliette to get her settled in for what may be a long wait.
Juliette is no wallflower and gets about exploring the exotically mysterious city, finding that unveiled blonde American women invite curiosity and scorn from the locals, though more of the former. She begins to cleave to the people who accept her, particularly Tareq, and as her husband's arrival is continually delayed, Juliette and Tareq's acquaintance of circumstance grows into friendship and soon attraction.
Cairo Time is an incredibly subtle story that seems to delight in not quite going in the direction that one expects it to. It plays with expectations, notably in a sequence that finds Juliette weary of waiting and taking a bus to Gaza. On the bus a young woman she's struck up a conversation with begs her to take a note to her boyfriend when the bus is stopped by the military. They take Juliette off and send her back to Cairo and while Tareq's reaction to her action pays service to the possibilities of the communication she's been given, it turns out to be nothing resembling espionage. Unexpected, yes, but the payoff remains more slice of life than larger than life.
Instead, the film aims to envelop the audience in the tangible atmosphere of its namesake locale, and it does so quite well. It is Cairo that is larger than life and the sumptuous photography of the sharply beautiful Clarkson treading the Fatimid alleys, sipping the (apparently world's best) coffee in mosaic cafes and smoking with Tareq in romantically exotic hookah bars gives the film an enigmatic naturalism. But the look of Cairo Time -- its attention to cultural detail -- is at least as compelling as the gossamer, if emotionally detailed, narrative itself. I know that gets raves from many, but I still needed more.
While I appreciated its unhurried tone, and close to terra narrative, it's really the vibrant performances from Clarkson and Siddig that keep Cairo Time from being a bit of a travelogue. The script by Nadda has many fine little moments brought to life by Clarkson and Siddiq, as well as the supporting cast, but it rarely feels like there is any tension. Nadda toys with cultural differences -- as when one Egyptian woman seems clearly confused that Juliette didn't disown her son for eloping or that her daughter didn't leave home to move in with a husband--but she merely notes them. When Juliette pitches the idea of doing a story about Cairo street children, Tareq sarcastically questions whether it should appear between the articles on how to get the perfect lipstick look and how to please a man in bed. It never amounts to a true rift as their attraction grows. The narrative is more interested in smooth subtlety.
Clarkson and Siddiq have a fine chemistry and the film suffers more often than not when they are sundered by the story. Siddiq in particular breathes a tactile life into Tareq whose character has the advantage of being the more down to earth of the two, as Clarkson's Juliette bears all the regality of her Shakespearian namesake. Clarkson imbues her with humble warmth that allows her to sidestep the characters vaguely entitled aura.
Cairo Time aspires to draw us into these people and the city where they share their moment in time and in that it succeeds, though its Gaussian narrative, while often intoxicating, has all the impact of a lucid dream's ghostly meaning.

A unique single-wall hybrid backpacking tent, the Sierra Designs Mojo 2 delivers full weather protection without the bulk and weight of a detachable rainfly. An innovative "winged" design maximizes airflow to combat condensation.
Doubling as a waterproof rain jacket and an emergency shelter, the Sierra Designs Storm Poncho is ideal for ounce-counting backpackers. For the less adventurous, the Storm Poncho is an excellent emergency-preparedness piece for your pack or glove box.
Committed to designing outdoor equipment that enhanced the wilderness experience, George Marks and Bob Swanson teamed up in 1965 to launch Sierra Designs. At the forefront of innovation right from the beginning, Sierra Designs consistently rolled out ground-breaking features, unveiling the first tent to use a combination of bent and straight poles and releasing the first sleeping bag in the United States to offer 700-fill goose down and a contoured hood.
Though design and technology have changed dramatically over the past 40 years and many manufacturers have fallen by the wayside, Sierra Designs continues to garner awards and recognition for their tents and sleeping bags.

Today marks the 39th annual Earth Day, an idea hatched by Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson in 1969 to "shake up the political establishment and force this issue into the national agenda," according to the Earth Day Network, a nonprofit that helps organize the day.
But way back before global warming was a household term and canvas totes were a fashionable alternative to shopping bags, environmental supporters started with the basics: recycling, energy use, pesticides and population growth, to name a few.
So how much have actions and attitudes about saving the earth changed since then? Mark Fischetti, managing editor of Scientific American Earth 3.0 magazine, reflects that, "Back in the '70s, Earth Day was kind of this quirky, one-day grassroots event. It raised a little awareness, but the next day it was gone… Now it's on the radar every single day, it's in the headlines every single day."
The first Earth Day saw 20 million people turn out for rallies and demonstrations in defense of the earth, and on the 20th anniversary of the first Earth Day, in 1990, 200 million people in more than 100 countries celebrated the event. These days, Earth Day Network focuses on coordinating volunteering and events year-round, boasting an association of more than 15,000 organizations in 174 countries.
But Earth Day isn't just about just about getting your hands dirty picking up litter or foregoing that plastic grocery bag. Organizers have rounded up more than 2,000 events around the country. In an early celebration on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., this past Sunday, 100,000 people turned up to see bands, speakers and celebrities. In honor of the day today, Earth Day Network's streaming video site will present the international premiere of Walden: The Ballad of Thoreau, a play dramatizing a conversation between famous 19th-century naturalists Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Today the nonprofit is also launching the Green Generation Campaign, an initiative to up awareness for next year's 40th anniversary of the first Earth Day. But unlike the so-called Greatest Generation that came of age in the mid-20th century, "The Green Generation is open to everyone: people of all ages and all nationalities," the organization notes on its Web site.
The awareness generated around Earth Day must carry over into every other day, notes Fischetti. And in addition to keeping up with the three R's (reduce, reuse, recycle), he says, people should continue putting pressure on corporations and politicians to take real action on climate change.
"Right now, most of the rest of the countries are literally waiting for the U.S. Congress to act to pass climate legislation," says Fischetti. With the Copenhagen talks looming just eight months away, he notes, international leaders have said that if the U.S. shows up to the talks without having instituted climate legislation in its own backyard, the talks will likely fall apart, leaving the globe without a replacement for the 1997 Kyoto Protocol.

This idea that it falls to the US and to the US alone to begin to take action on climate change is a perfect example of preposterously bad logic. Its proponents seem to forget that we're all on the same boat, headed towards the waterfall; that the US is no longer the biggest emitter of greenhouse gases; that the US has in fact already begun to work towards sustainability.
We really need to start demanding actual reasoning from our elected representatives. The current situation is much too serious for us to let them get away with brainless posturing.

ODF invites public input on proposed land acquisitions in the Gilchrist State Forest, kicking off a 60-day comment period on November 5, 2013. The process is two-part: a 60-day public comment period that will run from November 5, 2013 through January 3, 2014, and a public hearing on December 5, 2013 in Klamath Falls. Located 45 miles south of Bend, adjacent to U.S. Highway 97, 43,000 acres of the Gilchrist State Forest were acquired by ODF and dedicated in 2010. Proposed acquisitions would add nearly 29,000 acres, about 25,000 of those owned by The Conservation Fund and about 3,000 acres by Central Oregon Land Holdings. In 2010, when the Gilchrist was dedicated, ODF partnered with The Conservation Fund to arrange a short-term purchase of the additional land, with the understanding that ODF would buy from them when funds were available. Those funds include $1.98 million in Oregon Lottery-backed bonds, approved by the Oregon Legislature in 2011, $3 million from a federal Forest Legacy Program grant, and $5.2 million in general bonds approved by the Legislature in 2013.

Thanks to grant opportunities from the Yamaha Access Initiative GRANT and the Oregon Parks and Recreation Trails Program and ATV Fund grants, off-road enthusiasts and stream habitat are both benefitting from two new OHV bridges in the Tillamook State Forest on the Elliott Creek and Military OHV trails. Both trails cross the Devil's Lake Fork of the Wilson River, an important salmon stream in the northern Coast Range, and are also important connector trails for the larger OHV trail network in the Browns Camp OHV area in the Tillamook State Forest.

Collectively, the trees around us make up the urban forest - a place where 68 percent of all Oregonians live. Remnants of the pre-development forest and the planted landscape in and around our cities comprise this urban forest - a forest that produces many benefits for homeowners and the public alike. These benefits include improved environmental quality via cleaner air and water, ecosystem servoices such as storm water control and wildlife habitat, increased property values, and an overall sense of community livability. To assist Oregonians in caring for their trees, a new brochure, An Oregon Homeowners Guide to Tree Care, is now available from ODF. The brochure is full of information that landscapers, gardeners, and homeowners will find useful, and can be downloaded online or provided in hard copy. Learn more about successful tree planting, "tree topping", pruning, and how to care for our urban forest - one of Oregon's most precious resources.

This fictional account is dedicated to Valerie Ann Roeske and to all women who have walked the path of domestic abuse and known its pain and suffering and who now have come to know in their hearts and souls that all we have in life is love.
I am Little Beaver. I take you by the hand with all my heart. I am but a woman, yet you must listen for I am speaking truth so you will know how it was and why I do not cry out my grief.
I was the wife of a Winnebago warrior. I served him faithfully. Who was so well served as him? Whose lodge was so well provided or kept so clean? I brought wood in the morning and placed water always at hand. I watched for his coming, and he found his food cooked and waiting. If he rose to go forth, there was nothing to delay him. I searched the thought that was in his heart to save him the trouble of speaking.
When I went about on errands for him, chiefs and warriors smiled upon me, and braves spoke soft things to me in secret. But my feet were on the straight path, and my eyes saw nothing but him.
When he went out to hunt or to war, who aided to equip him but me? When he returned, I met him at the door, and he entered without further thought. While he sat and smoked, I unloaded his horses, tied them to stakes, brought in their loads and was quick at his feet. If his moccasins were wet, I took them off and put on others which were warm and dry.I dressed all the skins that were taken in the chase. He never said to me, "Why is it not done?" He hunted the deer and the buffalo and watched for the enemy. Everything else was done by me.
When our people moved their camp, it was me who packed the horses and led them on their journey. He mounted his horse and rode away as free as though he had fallen from the skies.
He had nothing to do with the labor of the camp. When we halted in the evening, he sat with the other braves and smoked while I pitched his lodge. When he came to eat and sleep, his supper and bed were ready.
I served him faithfully. And what was my reward? A cloud was always on his brow and sharp lightning on his tongue. I was his woman to use without affection. I was his dog not his wife. Who scarred me and bruised me? It was my Winnebago warrior. When his enemy killed him, he did not return to his lodge. I do not cry out my grief for what I have lost is but a warrior's body, not a husband that showed respect and recognized value. Hear my truth. I will walk a new path and never walk the old path again. When the handsome braves smile at me, now, again, I will choose more wisely. The Great Spirit has given me experience and wisdom. I would be a crooked woman fool not to learn.
Now you know how it was and how it will be.

The only redeeming quality about Australia is that they seem to produce an inordinately high amount of sexy women
Caught me with my pants around my ankles on this one Ziggy.
Currently holidaying overseas and haven't been checking much of the forums besides a glance now and then only at bobcats talk.
But do not fear, I will defend my country with pride til the bitter end. Will give you many reasons why to live in this country when I'm not busy
Proud Australian Bobcats Fan!!!
I actually wrote this massive post on defending Australia, and it got wiped because my internet d/ced when I posted. So I'm annoyed.
So I'll do a tl;dr version.
Beaches: Some of the best beaches in Aus
Babes: Lots of hot babes, see Kerr, Miranda
Friendly: We're nice people
Deadly: Since we live with such deadly beasts, we are all naturally Bear Grylls esque people
Awesome: Because we're aussie
Criminals: Anyone who is born in Australia (yellows, white, black, green, blue, orange) carries a long tradition of Australian convicts. In other words, we are born badasses, even if we dont have the original convict blood in us
Beef and Lamb: Best beef and lamb in the entire world, EASILY
On an Island: Means when the zombies hit, I only need to fight 20 million, compared to the millions more you Americans would have to fight
AFL: Australia's sport. Addictive to watch, and the guys there are far more manly than NFL. No padding or helmets here
Sports: We're a sporting nation. Lots of active people
Our animals and insects are badass. This is from 2010. http://www.bobcatsplanet.com/vb/show...sident-TooCool
Can't remember what else I wrote, good enough for now.
Proud Australian Bobcats Fan!!!

text: Honorary British Consul for NC at LEDAâs Lunch N Learn on EnglandSource: Press Release Michael Teden ESQ., OBE was welcomed as guest speaker to LEDA International Lunch N Learn Series featuring England. Michael is the Honorary British Consult for NC since July 1, 2001. He was appointed by Her Britannic Majestyâs Consul-General in Atlanta. He served as Chairman of the British American Business Council of NC from 1992-1997 and was subsequently recognized for his contribution to the further development of bi-lateral trade and investment by the British government. He received the Order of the British Empire presented to him on May 3, 2001 at Buckingham Palace by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Michael has had extensive experience within the US domestic and international commercial insurance industry. He worked for ten years at Lloydâs of London before starting up the US subsidiary of a Lloydâs broking firm in Charlotte. He has represented all areas of the insurance and risk management and has traveled extensively both in the US and internationally. He has focused on business development within the corporate and investment banking divisions of the larger financial institutions. Michael is Chairman and Managing Director of Whitehall Advisory Group. On April 28, 2003 Michael was awarded the NCâs highest civilian honor, the Order of the Long Leaf Pine. The award was presented by the Governor of NC, the Honorable Michael Easley. The Order recognizes contributions and service to the state of NC. England's economy is one of the largest in the world, with an average GDP per capita of £22,907. Usually regarded as a mixed market economy, it has adopted many free market principles, yet maintains an advanced social welfare infrastructure. The official currency in England is the pound sterling, whose ISO 4217 code is GBP. Taxation in England is quite competitive when compared to much of the rest of Europeâ"as of 2009 the basic rate of personal tax is 20% on taxable income up to £37,400, and 40% on any additional earnings above that amount. The economy of England is the largest part of the UK's economy, which has the 18th highest GDP PPP per capita in the world. England is a leader in the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors and in key technical industries, particularly aerospace, the arms industry, and the manufacturing side of the software industry. London, home to the London Stock Exchange, the United Kingdom's main stock exchange and the largest in Europe, is England's financial centreâ"100 of Europe's 500 largest corporations are based in London. London is the largest financial centre in Europe, and as of 2009 is also the largest in the world. With over 51 million inhabitants, England is by far the most populous country of the United Kingdom, accounting for 84% of the combined total. England taken as a unit and measured against international states has the fourth largest population in the European Union and would be the 25th largest country by population in the world. With a density of 395 people per square kilometer, it would be the second most densely populated country in the European Union after Malta. England is highly industrialized, but since the 1970s there has been a decline in traditional heavy and manufacturing industries, and an increasing emphasis on a more service industry oriented economy. Tourism has become a significant industry, attracting millions of visitors to England each year. The export part of the economy is dominated by pharmaceuticals, carsâ"although many English marques are now foreign-owned, such as Rolls-Royce, Lotus, Jaguar and Bentleyâ"crude oil and petroleum from the English parts of North Sea oil along with Wytch Farm, aircraft engines and alcoholic beverages. Agriculture is intensive and highly mechanized, producing 60% of food needs with only 2% of the labor force. Two thirds of production is devoted to livestock, the other to arable crops. A time for questions and answers followed with many participants wanting to know more. Rhonda Hunter, Director of Operations at LEDA said âWe provide the Lunch N Learns as a way of promoting a better understanding of our international companies locally and other companies abroad through the educational and informational aspects of experiencing and learning about their various homelands through them or others deeply steeped in their culture and economy through firsthand knowledge or study.â âWe appreciate Michael Teden, Honorary British Consul for NC sharing about England with us todayâ. This is the sixth in the series; other previously experienced were Canada, Brazil, Germany, Japan and Austria. Where will we go next? Contact Information: { Back to Top } |

Couldn´t they see it on their own time?
We should boycott Lincoln.Spielberg is one of Obamas biggest supporters.Why give those who wish to divide and destroy America ANY money?Hollywood is not immune to the market.Let the leftists like Sean Penn wither on the vine.Without The Audience - they are nothing.
Nice. real nice. WTP paid for how many tickets? Or was there a flat fee for a private showing to hob nob with the stars? Such a shame Hollyworld has left a very sour taste in the mouths of most movie goers.
The movie itself is outstanding. You get a chance to see the legislative sausage being made. The white hats and the black hats look a bit different afterward. I wonder how the senators would rate it for accuracy.
If you know your history you know that Spielberg´s Lincoln is not accurate - more of a revision to satisfy current trends.
Did anyone warn Harry that Lincoln was a Republican?
Lincoln. The first great Divider. Thanks, but no thanks.
I saw that movie. Lincoln killed all the vampires. It was really cool!
What, is this grade school? One year, when my son was young and the public school was having a hard time hiring and keeping teachers, they just took up school time by showing movie after movie. But everyone´s self-esteem was just fine and that was all that mattered.Juvenile behavior, at this point in congress´ career, is a compliment.
It does not matter to me if Lincoln is a good picture. Or even if it is the best picture ever. I still would not watch it let alone pay money to see it. spielberg is a sawed off sanctimonious liberal hack. I won´t contribute a nickel to spielberg.What´s more, the Lincoln movie is based on the writings of another sanctimonious liberal --- doris kearns goodwin. As I recall the movie was trumpeted years ago then delayed as doris reeled in the wake of a two humiliating plagerism scandals.

Making the wiki more personal.
When we're feeling charitable, yeah. ;)
Thanks awfully.
Joshua Dickerson:
Please don't start mixing British English with American English. Customize not Customise. It is going to cause so many issues.
Translate it to English English if we want to do that.
When I think of good style of writing technically, I look at PHP and MySQL. There is a good mix of second and third person speech. Professionally friendly is a good way of looking at it. The best part of a wiki is that if something just doesn't sound right, someone can come along and change it.
I figured that what I'd do, is make things so that they look right, to me.
If someone else, then, decides to change it, that's up to them.
I don't "Watch" stuff.
But, to type in Americanese would be difficult, because I simply don't know how they spell some words.
Oh, I know about "Colour" and "Color" and a few of the obvious ones. But, some of their words, sentence-construction and stuff has me totally baffled. ;)
So, as I said, I'll do what I do and people can change it to their heart's content. I really have no problem, with that, unless someone decides to tell everyone that I was the author. ;)
I must confess to altering a few things, myself, because, having read them, I thought "That just reads very badly and could be taken in a number of different ways". So, I've edited them to try and make them crystal-clear.
I also edited some, where they've said "The user", to say "You", coz it just sounds so much more, well, personal and friendly.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2010 Meursault Genevrieres bristles on the palate with intense minerality. It is the most intensely saline, taut Meursault in this lineup, and accordingly needs time in bottle to settle down. Vivid, crystalline fruit marks the huge, textured finish. The Genevrieres is wonderfully complete and..
Cellar/Tasting Notes A blend of 66% Pinot Noir and 34% Chardonnay, this is opulent and full bodied, with toast and wood flavors. Rich and ripe, this beautiful wine is generous and still young, with just a touch of bitterness at the end.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The minerality and stoniness really comes through on the nose of this Rieussec, more than the 2007. The palate is very well balanced with superb acidity, real tension, steely with great precision with notes of apricot, white peach and honey on the beautifully defined finish. Probably the best..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is aromatically less refined but more complex with its expressive and rather pungent nose of hazelnut, green fruit, herbal, pear and just a hint of wood. There is excellent volume to the extract rich, powerful and solidly well-concentrated medium weight flavors that possess excellent..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is also markedly ripe though with a different fruit profile as here it is more white than yellow with its aromas of pear liqueur, acacia, lemon and a hint of tangerine. There is also excellent volume and solid mid-palate concentration to the rich, voluminous and palate coating flavors that..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "I had very high expectations for the 2002 Brut Blanc de Blancs Dom Ruinart and was not disappointed. Actually, that is an understatement. The 2002 is a flat-out great Dom Ruinart... Layers of sweet, perfumed fruit emerge with no end in this subtle, sexy Dom Ruinart... The 2002 convinces for its..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is really quite aromatically similar to the Truffières except that, somewhat surprisingly, the nose is even more elegant. There is a striking combination of excellent volume but also beautiful detail to the concentrated, refined and ultra-pure medium-bodied flavors that don't quite have the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is a rich and creamy Champagne with a lively mousse, giving it a forward fruit character. Slowly the depth and concentration of the wine come through, with a white fruit flavor and hints of grapefruit and toasty yeast, which all promising good aging."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Resplendent in its new shiny gold label, Krug is a majestic Champagne. Its velvet texture, dominated by mature flavors, is toasty and rich, dense and complex. In the mouth, its beautiful roasted almond, spice and ripe pears all balance impressively. Could the wine be getting even better? No..
Cellar/Tasting Notes JS: "This is very concentrated with dried pineapple, honey and caramel. Full-bodied and superdense. Like honey. Massive. This is fantastic. From the former head and part owner of Yquem."
