Long weekend in a 4-star hotel in my timezone - travel, breakfast and spa services included
Shiny pebbles...
I don't know. I just have a special place in my heart for opals, and especially the crystal opals from Ethiopia.
Beautiful stones.
Thought you were trying to hypnotize me with that video, asked the wife if I clucked like a chicken after watching it.
The pinfire IS extra beautiful, in that particular stone.
Actually raises an interesting question. My wife and my 10th Anniversary is 12/14 -- she wants to get me a compound bow or crossbow (she's definitely a keeper).
I've always wanted one, but honestly know nothing about them. We're looking in the $300-$500 range. Anybody have any solid crossbow or compound bow recommendations? I know Daryl on The Walking Dead uses a Horton Scout, which runs about $300. Not sure if its actually any good, though.

One difficulty when it comes to hosting multiple websites on single servers has always been SSL. By the nature of how the web works when you open a website in your browser a HTTP Header with the requested host is present. A web server can then read this information and direct traffic to the appropriate Virtual Host matching the Host Header. With SSL this information is encrypted when the request first hits the Web Server so the Web Server replies with the default site, once the data is decrypted the header can be read but by this time it is too late in the process and the default Virtual Host replies.
The way to get around this in the past has been to assign each SSL host to its own IP Address on sub interfaces so the Web Server can distinguish between the various sites. This approach has worked however it becomes quite a maintenance nightmare in your Apache configuration as well as your server's network configuration.
The solution to this problem is an extension to the SSL protocol named Server Name Identification (SNI) introduced in RFC 4366 which allows the client to include the requested hostname in the first message of the SSL handshake allowing the Web Server to determine which Named Virtual Host to send the request to and setup the connection accordingly.
Starting with Apache 2.2.12 and later you can take advantage of SNI for your SSL Virtual Hosting. There are some requirements for SNI to work properly.
- You must be running OpenSSL 0.9.8f or later
- You must configure OpenSSL with the TLS Extensions Enabled
- Apache must be built with OpenSSL Support (–with-ssl)
Another requirement is the Client must support SNI. Below is a list of Browsers supporting SNI
- Mozilla Firefox 2.0 or later
- Opera 8.0 or later (with TLS 1.1 enabled)
- Internet Explorer 7.0 or later (on Vista, not XP)
- Google Chrome
- Safari 3.2.1 on Mac OS X 10.5.6
If the client does not support SNI Apache will return a 403 Error Response to the user. You can disable Strict Host Checking in which the default Virtual Host will respond as before when a request came in that did not match any defined Virtual Hosts, this is because once again the server is unable to read the Host header until it completed the SSL negotiation and can read the data.
To enable Named Based Virtual Hosting for SSL you have to make a few changes to your existing Apache Configurations. Below you can find a sample configuration for two different domains running SSL.
NameVirtualHost *:443
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName www.domain-one.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/domain-one.com

World Cinema at Sundance: An Inuit tale, "Before Tomorrow"
Saturday, January 17th, 2009Two older women and a young man take an annual trip to an island where they dry fish, expecting to be taken home before the water freezes. When they fail to return at the expected time, and after the oldest woman passes away, the boy and his grandmother must find ways to cope on their own. Before Tomorrow is the third in a trilogy of films (beginning with The Fast Runner and The Journals of Knud Rasmussen), made by contemporary Inuit natives as a way of recapturing a sense of their past. This one is the feature debut of Madeline Piujuq Ivalu and Marie-Hélène Cousineau of the Arnait Video Collective, based on the novel For Morgendagen by Danish writer Jørn Riel. It is a beautiful and intimate story, and the tenderness between grandmother and grandson is palpable and moving, as when she encourages him to speak bravely of his first seal hunt, asking him to elaborate on his simple tale, and invest it with a heroic quality.

Sometimes bad movies can be painful in a good way. A particular combination of goofy ideas, technical ineptitude and misguided execution can actually turn out to be entertaining--provided the film knows what it is and runs with that. Alcohol can only help matters.
From Paris with Love looked like it could possibly be that kind of bad. Producer Luc Besson (known for his fair share of crazy and fun action movies, i.e. The Transporter series) has a decent track record in coming up with these kinetic, pulpy stories and finding talented action directors to make them.
Director Pierre Morel is represented quite well with last year's, Liam Neeson-starring punchfest, Taken. And John Travolta seems to insist on making movies I can't bring myself to watch, so this is likely the last time I'm going to get to see him on-screen until he decides to stop making Wild Hogs sequels. Oy.
But sadly, in the arena of fun bad movies, From Paris with Love is just a groaner. I knew it was in trouble within the first two minutes.
James Reese (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) works as an attaché in the U.S. Embassy in Paris, who is in preparations to oversee the visiting U.S. ambassador's trip for an African Peace Summit. Unbeknownst to his superiors, Reese also works as a low-level CIA operative and helps to do things like bug offices and drive around contacts. Reese pines to be a full special ops agent, and he's getting tired of doing the grunt work.
But when he's tasked with springing an American agent, Charlie Wax (John Travolta) from French Customs, Reese gets taken for a walk on the wild side that gives him a taste of the life he's been dreaming about, while making him realize it might not be what he'd hoped.
Going much beyond that is kind of pointless since the script pulls every cheap trick in the book to keep you off-guard and in the dark as to where it's all going, and From Paris with Love needs every surprise it can keep.
Written by Adi Hasak from a story by Luc Besson, the script is an on-the-rails, amateurish attempt at a buddy cop comedy that's entirely too dull in the first act and unintentionally funny throughout the last two thanks in large part to Travolta's over-the-top mugging.
The script is full of holes and overly reliant on coincidence, but the real atrocity is much of the dialogue. It's almost as if the role of Charlie Wax might have been written with a hip-hop star in mind, but when they found out Travolta wanted the part just gave it to him unchanged.
Its woefully ancient "Now that's what I'm talkin' about!" lines are windows into the mind of a middle-aged hack writer filtering a decade of bad action movies and regurgitating them into a derivative slog of film.
Director Pierre Morel fares a little better and is rarely able to establish a sense of tension, neither in the opening act, which is all a bunch of cloak and dagger stuff, nor the action sequences that make up the last two thirds of the film. He gets a couple of good car chases in there, though it's nothing we haven't seen before.
But during the fight sequences, Morel seems to be channeling far superior Hong Kong films, particularly early John Woo classics like A Better Tomorrow and A Bullet in the Head--just without the visual coherence or the originality. Although this makes for inadvertent laughs as the paunchy, out-of-shape Travolta mows down bad guy after bad guy in slow motion. It's surreal.
Speaking of Travolta, his scenery chewing is almost a force of nature and is the single aspect of the film that nearly pushes From Paris with Love into "so bad it's good" territory.
The combination of his ridiculous chrome-dome and dyed goatee, the groan inducing, hackneyed dialogue he spits out (yes, they even break out his "Royale with cheese" line in what must have been the film's sole re-write) and the laugh worthy sight of him kicking more ass than Kimbo Slice really almost makes From Paris with Love putrid enough to enjoy. Almost.
Rhys Meyers as James Reece fares best I suppose, though I can't imagine how many blown takes there were when he burst out in uncontrollable laughter at the ridiculousness of it all. I suppose that's the best thing I could say for both him and Travolta. They looked like they were having fun.
It would have been nice if I had, too.
Survival of the Fittest
Charles Darwin, the 19th Century scientist who discovered the theory of natural selection, was (to the detriment of his productive life) not imbued with a sense of urgency.
That's made emphatically clear in Creation, a rudderless, glacially paced, yet vaguely engaging portrait of the man behind the theory that still inspires many of my fellow countrymen to ignore the empirical science that makes their existence possible.
I guess I'm carrying some baggage here.
Creation takes place during a nebulous span of time, opening with Darwin (Paul Bettany) regaling his daughter Annie (Martha West) with tales of the discovery of the Galapagos Islands. He's revealed to be a loving family man and a deeply considerate thinker with a wife, Emma, (Jennifer Connelly) who reveres him as much as she fears for his soul.
Darwin is in ill health, which he surmises might be a side effect of the pressures of his research. He's keenly aware that what he is discovering about the nature of the world flies in the face of Scripture and is likely to bring unwanted consequences should he finally commit his findings to paper--particularly in his marriage to the devoutly religious Emma.
After producing a synopsis of his theory, his friends in the scientific community encourage him to complete his research and write the book with Thomas Huxley (Toby Jones), who's practically salivating at the idea of the downfall of the Church that such knowledge would bring, and telling Darwin that he would have "killed God." No pressure there. Of course, this dissuades Darwin even further.
While not a believer in the Divine Plan, Darwin recognizes the way religion binds society into a mostly operational construct, and he fears stripping that away might doom civilized society. But his illness still plagues him (as well as an unrevealed tragedy) and in order to purge himself, he finally sets forth writing the book that would change the world.
Based on Randal Keynes's biography (which itself was culled from Darwin's letters; Keynes is his great-great grandson) and directed in a stiffly deliberate fashion by Jon Amiel, Creation is successful at painting a seemingly complete portrait of a man whose ideas reverberate to this day.
Amiel, working from a script by John Collee (Master and Commander), paints the proceedings in deft, rich visuals that help the film's meandering narrative flow and lethargic pacing. Much like Darwin, he doesn't seem to be in a rush, making the film's fairly economical 108-minute run time feel considerably longer.
Much of Creation is told in flash backs, indulging in strange, moody, visual flourishes that juxtapose Darwin's narration with images of his idyllic home, the observations that informed his ideas and his fevered hallucinatory dreams.
The look of the film is quite lovely, which is no surprise as that's generally on par for the course with BBC productions. And that's exactly what Creation feels like, for better and worse.
The art design, set decoration, costumes and cinematography are all top-notch, but it has the feel of an episode of Masterpiece Theater. Not necessarily a bad thing depending on your disposition towards leisurely paced, pastorally set, British historical dramas.
Of course, the film has plenty of grist for controversy if you are in the frame of mind that On the Origin of Species was co-written by Satan, but the film never courts it. It's content to tell the making-of story and leave the judgments to the audience, instead of delving into the man. Considering that Darwin was a soft-spoken, sensitive, science geek, with more than his fair share of indecisive tendencies, Creation doesn't translate into cinematic fireworks.
That's not to say Bettany doesn't do a fine job. He's too capable and interesting an actor to render Darwin boring. He gives a performance brimming with emotion without ever crossing into melodrama; at least until the script gives him no choice. He enjoys a great chemistry with Connelly as Emma Darwin, which shouldn't come as a surprise as she is an equally capable actor, and it probably doesn't hurt that she's married to Bettany in real life.
Connelly is nearly regal in the role, and it is her natural chemistry with Bettany that helps keep the film from devolving into a dry bore with some soothing visuals. Just barely. I'm not sure there is really a way to make this material riveting in the first place, but Creation counts on its high-caliber production values and clever casting to give it the proverbial college try.
At least it's no Extraordinary Measures.

If it's crap ... We'll tell you
Welcome to
The Spill Movie Community
Director Darren Aronofsky's Biblical epic 'Noah' is preparing to set sail. With Rusell Crowe set to play the Old Testament hero, word is now trickling in as to further casting. In a recent interview, Paramount Film Group president Adam Goodman was asked about a number of projects including 'Noah.' He let slip that in addition to Crowe, the film would star Jennifer Connelly and Saoirse Ronan ('Hannah'). He also revealed 'Noah's budget and rating as well. Here's what he said...
"It will be a big, robust production and will have tremendous scale. It's the perfect combination of casting [Russell Crowe, Saoirse Ronan and Jennifer Connelly] and a remarkable adventure. This isn't what you think of when you think of Darren, but it will be very true to him as a filmmaker. It will be PG-13 and will likely cost around $125 million."
The casting of Jennifer Connelly is good news, as she is immensely talented. Given that Connelly has worked with Aronofsky in the past, on 'Requiem for a Dream,' it's easy to trace her involvement here. She is rumored to be playing a character named Naameh, which, after a little research appears to be one translation of the name of Noah's wife. As to Saoirse Ronan, though she has never worked with Aronofsky, her turn in 'Hannah' was incredible and I can't wait to see her in something of this scale; I mean, $125 million is by no means a meager budget. There are no clues yet as to who Ronan would be playing. The rating here actually makes a lot of sense. Though Aronofsky has traditionally helmed R-rated fare, his last epic, 'The Fountain,' also earned a PG-13 label. Besides, it's not as if we need to see a boatload of violence, cursing, and nudity in order to tell the story of Noah, right? Well, actually, I guess I could see how that would be enjoyable. In any event, what do you guys think?
Are you interested in Aronofsky's 'Noah?' What do you think of the latest casting?
Source: THR
LOL @Spill Tech Support
What a great cast. I'm very interested to see Aronofsky's take on this material. I just hope he makes all religious nuts angry about this flick because I find that to be very funny
What are gonna do now?
Animals to animals
@ Jvegi - That's Lot and his two daughters. Though I believe Noah cursed his sons for finding him drunk and showing off his junk.
I'm still hoping that this is more than just a straight-up telling of the Noah story and for now they're just witholding information. I haven't disliked a single Aronofsky film so far (Yes, I even dug the Fountain), so I really have no reason to be skeptical, but I am.
@Alexs, and the second time Connelly is in an Aronofsky movie, which those two names alone, makes me interested.
this will be the second time Jennifer plays the wife of Rusell Crowe!
That's a hell of a cast. I'll admit to being a little bummed by the PG-13, there's some really dark places Aronofksy could go with the uncut source material I suppose we won't see.
In the story everybody made fun of Noah for building the boat, interesting how history repeats itself. The casting looks great.
I can't wait!

text: Home Culture Black-History Actor Bets on 'Arbitrage' Role We spoke to Nate Parker, the Red Tails and Great Debaters star, about his latest film. By: Jean McGianni Celestin Posted: Oct. 7 2012 12:38 AM 0 Scene from Arbitrage (Roadside Attractions) (The Root) -- Ever since he burst onto the scene opposite Denzel Washington in the 2007 film The Great Debaters, Nate Parker has become one of the most sought-after young actors in Hollywood. His performances have been memorable and diverse -- from an even-tempered Tuskegee Airman in George Lucas' Red Tails to a drug-dealing gang leader in Spike Lee's Red Hook Summer. He has demonstrated incredible range in such a short time for such a young actor, who got into the acting business unexpectedly while accompanying a friend to a modeling event in Texas in 2003. Parker's most recent supporting role, opposite Richard Gere in the recently released financial crime thriller Arbitrage, has critics impressed again with his performance. In the film he plays Jimmy Grant, a young kid from Harlem who gets pulled into a deceitful conspiracy by Robert Miller (Gere), a billionaire hedge fund magnate who's in the midst of selling his firm to escape a federal fraud scandal that could land him in prison for 20 years. Recently Parker talked to The Root about working with Hollywood vets, an upcoming Spike Lee joint and his community work. The Root: Throughout your career, a lot of your roles have been in historically based films like The Great Debaters, Red Tails and even Pride, which you did with Terrence Howard; and you played Ben Chavis in Blood Done Sign My Name, too. Was it difficult to play a more contemporary character this time that didn't have factual history you could look back on to prepare? Nate Parker: Well, I've always tried to play roles that have integrity and roles that reaffirm black men and who we are as a people. Even in Red Hook Summer, I played a conflicted character who was cast out by his community and who ran to the only place that would receive him, which were the gangs. But he still represented a lot of black men in America today. In the case of Arbitrage, Jimmy was the most moral character in the film. Here he was, a good kid, whose dad died, and he had a business plan, a girlfriend he was moving away with, but then he's made complicit in a crime by someone who is supposed to be the patriarch and protector. So I found his character to be dynamic and very human. I understood what he had to lose. As an African American, our goals are different than other people. Our goal can be to stay out of jail, which I could personally relate to in my own life and experiences in the past and with my family. And those are the roles that I want to play: dynamic personalities with substance, more than characters of specific timelines. TR: You've had the opportunity to work with Hollywood heavyweights -- Denzel Washington and now Richard Gere and Tim Roth. How did you approach working with such veteran actors? NP: Well, first of all, we're all men, so there is never any reason to be intimidated. The only person I look up to is the Lord. So for me, knowing that I walked into a project having done the work to prepare for it, I felt ready. When Tim wants to improv and just says something that's not in the script, I was ready. If Richard Gere wants to rehearse for 10 hours and go over beats, then I'm ready for that, too. So I felt prepared. It was such a collaborative set, where everyone's opinions mattered.

Hardwood floors have long been a tradition for home flooring. Sturdy yet elegant, they are used for a variety of rooms in the home. They blend in well with wood-based furniture and are easy to clean and maintain. Hardwood flooring comes in many different shapes, widths and types of fabrication. Here are some of the choices where hardwood planks or parquet floors add a touch of classic elegance to a room's decor.
Home Office
Always compatible with office furniture and computer equipment, hardwood floors provide a professional look for the home office. Chairs roll easily on hardwood floors without damage. This provides versatility for someone moving quickly from the work desk to the printer and back again. An area rug can be placed under couches or chairs to distinguish the waiting area from the work area. It makes for a quick clean-up with either a vacuum cleaner or a broom when clients are coming to visit. Read more

As mayor of Kansas City, Kan., Joe Reardon is justifiably proud of the University of Kansas Medical Center, which has trained several generations of physicians and nurses for more than 100 years. After all, the medical center is consistently rated as the best hospital and treatment center in the state, according to a popular ranking of health institutions. So when Mayor Reardon—who heads the government of both the city and Wyandotte County, in which it sits—first learned that Wyandotte had come in dead last among the state's counties in a rigorous analysis of health measurements in 2009, he was shocked. "We have great access to excellent health care in a state where some counties have essentially no access," Mayor Reardon says. "And we're ranked last out of 105 counties? My first reaction was, 'How could this be?'"
The answer, Mayor Reardon discovered as he delved into the statistics behind the claim, is that proximity to fine hospitals and first-rate doctors is only one of many factors—and not always the most important—determining how long people live and how vulnerable they are to serious illness. Evidence collected by public health experts over the past few decades repeatedly shows that less obvious forces, including proper diet and exercise, higher levels of education, good jobs, greater neighborhood safety, and underlying support from family and friends, provide a powerful, and often unappreciated, boost to a community's health and well-being. By the same token, studies demonstrate, a poor showing in any of these areas can sink the health of individuals or of communities—even if they have access to topflight medical facilities.
The goal of the County Health Rankings project, which has given Wyandotte County low marks for health but high praise for its commitmennt to change, is to bring these hidden health factors to light and thereby help elected officials, civic leaders and community groups take concrete steps that can improve the health of local residents. The initiative originated at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, covering solely that state in 2003. A similar project began in Kansas in 2009, and in 2010 the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation in Princeton, N.J., provided funding so that the University of Wisconsin could expand its investigation to include within-state comparisons of counties in all 50 states.
Among the biggest lapses identified in Wyandotte County, for example, were much higher than average rates of smoking and obesity, lower than average rates of high school graduation, a distressing number of babies who weigh too little at birth, and a relative scarcity of fresh fruits and vegetables in grocery stores compared with the rest of the state. Mayor Reardon says these measurements have already transformed his approach to budget priorities. Changes include earmarking money for the addition of mentoring programs for high school students, new parks and sidewalks, and the opening of more and better supermarkets and community gardens in impoverished neighborhoods. And that is just the start, Mayor Reardon says. "The measure of our success as a city is not just how many jobs we create but also the health of our citizens." He believes that potential employers who want to stay competitive in today's global marketplace are more likely to settle in communities where workers are both highly skilled and relatively healthy.
Public Health Strategy Has Deep Roots
The notion that government officials can use public health statistics to improve policy decisions is not new. In 1854 physician John Snow, one of the founders of modern epidemiology, traced a cholera outbreak in the overcrowded London neighborhood of Soho to a contaminated public water pump by noting how many cases of illness clustered around the pump. (The pump was later found to be too close to a leaking cesspool.) Snow convinced officials to disable the pump, which helped to stop the spread of disease.

Mario coughed slightly; the temperature had dropped in the last few minutes to a chilly 39 degrees. It was never fun fighting at night, much less doing a training session but the best way to learn was to fight in all conditions. Turning up the collar on his leather jacket, Mario tried to nestle in the jacket more than his six-foot, athletic frame allowed him to. [Initial description of the character- note he is wearing a leather jacket, is above average in height and with an athletic build. It is cold and nighttime]
Toeing the frosted grass of the graveyard his heavy black boots gleamed in the pale light emanating from the solitary light pole, the condensation of his breath issued forward in a stream that ended fifteen inches from his mouth. Dark eyes scanned the area, somewhere out there was the trainee. Tapping the collapsible baton, he clicked his teeth as his hand instinctively fell to the hilt of the Bowie knife that hung off his wide leather belt. [Frost on the grass adds to the scene. The fight takes place in a graveyard, and there is a single light. These elements are important because they provide tactical advantages to whoever can use them best. His weapons are described here, a collapsible baton and a knife.]
Reaching down to the thermos of coffee he poured another cup, blowing on it a moment before he took a sip of the acrid black liquid. Inhaling to help cool the steaming fluid that ran down his throat he scanned the area again, the hairs on the back of his neck perked up. [Another element, a thermos of hot coffee that can be used as a weapon.]
Sliding his feet apart, the right one to the front a few inches ahead of the left, a perceptible bend in the knees as he lifted his heels ever so slightly, balancing the weight on the balls of his feet. Exhaling softly as he sipped again, he hadn't much information on this trainee, other than they wanted to learn how to do what he did. Fight. [Mario is taking a stance here. Right foot is forward. Left back. This indicates he is right handed even without anything else you know he is predominately a right-hand dominate fighter. Weight evenly distributed means he the character can react both offensively and defensively from this stance. However, there is no guard established which means you cannot discern a potential offensive/defensive action.]

Khloe Kardashian Got Tested For STDs
Photo Credit: WireImage
This is sad... but with everything we've heard about Lamar Odom - the crack, the anger, the women - this was necessary. Radar Online reports that Khloe Kardashian got tested for STDs after her husband Lamar Odom admitted he'd been unfaithful and didn't use protection.
A source told Radar Online, quote, "Lamar refused to admit to how many women it was, but Khloe knew it was at least five different women in the past year."
Luckily, Khloe is healthy... so the source says. In addition, Khloe apparently has proof of Lamar's cheating, so she can enact the infidelity clause in their prenup. If they get divorced, Lamar will owe her a huge amount of money.
Nicole Kidman Knocked To Ground By Photographer
Photo Credit: Astrid Stawiarz / 2012 Getty Images
The paparazzi continue to get a little too up close and personal... even Nicole Kidman is getting bombarded. Nothing against Nicole Kidman, but she's definitely not one to have run-ins with photographers.
In this instance, as TMZ tells it, Nicole Kidman was run OVER by a photog on a bike. It happened in New York while Nicole was walking into a hotel. A photog came flying down the sidewalk at about 20 mph, trying to ge the perfect picture of her... simply walking into a hotel...
The photog lost control of his bike, crashed into Nicole, and they both went down. One source says Nicole looked hurt, but she was able to get up and run into the hotel.
Nicole says she's going to press charges, but TMZ says police won't do much because it was an "accident." That being said, they may give the photog a ticket for riding on the sidewalk.
Mumford & Sons Got Kicked Out Of A Strip Club
Never thought these guys would cause a ruckus in a strip club! Haha! BUT, it's not what you think... they didn't touch any naked boobies or do anything at all with any naked women. They were kicked out for recording their friend who was partaking in karaoke night!
Lame huh? TMZ was on top of this when it happened on Tuesday night. While at the club, band member Winston got up to sing a few karaoke songs. Winston's band friends starting filming and taking pictures of his performance. Turns out, recording anything while in the club is against the rules.
The staff repeatedly told Mumford and his Sons to stop, but they refused. Eventually the DJ had to turn down the music and yell at them. This upset singing Winston because it was ruining his song. The band ended up getting into a shouting match with the staff, and ultimately, they were all kicked out.
Watch the chaos unfold...

They would generally -- I -- General Motors led teaming up with my next guest car sharing company to help improve the rental businesses of their GM cars joining me now for the six small business big ideas.
-- Clark he's the founder of a relay -- it's a car sharing company and then basically on the -- -- of this adjusting so.
This is basically owners of cars and -- -- sitting around in big cities like San Francisco or New York.
Who are now renting their cars out to others it's.
-- -- I -- -- for solving for having me but that's exactly right.
-- a really read this simple.
We make it -- -- the first nationwide marketplace to make it on seek an easy to rent cars -- neighbors so.
I it's it's big in our cities like -- -- New York like to mention but it's actually available nationwide so.
I've got cars style live from Anchorage Alaska -- of the tip of Florida and then you know I don't like -- -- -- why my car.
To some -- well.
What a lot of people they have a car that's -- that's under used to fund the average car sits -- 92% of the time and so.
It's a great way to offset the expenses did -- -- got 2000 dollars a month by letting somebody use your car whenever he would be easy to anyways.
And at the same time might help me -- the environment and your community by making it easier for that a car.
-- you've you've you've got this still would GM with OnStar I mean -- the thinking here with the deal that outweigh the cards tracks.
So that there's less of a chance for being stolen.

text: AP -- BANGKOK (AP) -- Oil prices fell Monday after weaker-than-expected manufacturing data from China intensified concerns about the global economy. Benchmark oil for October delivery was down 17 cents at $96.30 a barrel at late afternoon Bangkok time in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract rose $1.85 to finish at $96.47 per barrel Friday in New York. Brent crude for October delivery was up 12 cents to $114.69 on the ICE Futures exchange in London. A report released Saturday by the state-authorized China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing said its purchasing managers' index, a measure of manufacturing activity, fell to 49.2 in August from July's 50.1. Numbers below 50 indicate activity is contracting. That was a nine-month low, according to analysts at Read the Full Article

MAS Barometer shows 'growth' still there for English manufacturers
Published by Russ Cockburn for Danks Cockburn Public Relations Ltd in Central Government and also in Bill Payments, Local Government
David Caddle, MAS Area Director
Manufacturing SMEs in England are still reporting increased sales and predicting future growth despite recent reports of an industry downturn.
53% of respondents to the latest Manufacturing Advisory Service (MAS) National Barometer have seen orders grow in the last six months with the same number (53%) anticipating a further upturn between now and the end of the year.
A third of the companies surveyed are looking to create new jobs, 55% are expecting the size of their workforce to stay the same and 71% are looking to boost their turnover through exporting in the next eighteen months.
In line with recent surveys, there does appear to be a softening in the marketplace with only 40% of respondents seeing an increase in enquiries, compared with 49% in the last Barometer.
The number of companies considering investment in new machinery and premises over the next six months is also down from 44% to 38%.
David Caddle, MAS Area Director, commented: "The results are still showing positive signs of growth and expansion, although there are indications among SME manufacturers in England of a more cautious outlook going forward."
"This is not unexpected when you consider the recent economic forecasts and, historically, it takes a little longer for the slowdown to cascade its way down the supply chain and to the smaller companies."
He continued: "However, we have to make sure we don't talk ourselves into another downturn. The Barometer features responses from key decision makers at over 700 companies, representing more than 28,000 employees. It is carried out quarterly, giving us a smoother picture of sentiment as opposed to some monthly findings that can be swayed by external influences, such as the Jubilee.
"And the majority are saying to us they are growing and expect this to continue over the next six months."
Business Minister Mark Prisk said: "This latest MAS Barometer shows that many small manufacturing firms across the UK are growing and expect to continue to grow despite the challenging wider economic environment.
"The Government is committed to helping manufacturers make the most of the opportunities for growth and job creation through our continued investment in MAS."
This is the second National Barometer conducted by MAS and provides a snapshot of trends in English manufacturing SMEs from April to June 2012, as well as an overview of economic conditions and issues faced by the sector.
Export was the specialist focus for this report and, despite turmoil within the Eurozone, 71% of firms are aspiring to increase international orders, with more than one in ten expecting to boost turnover by 50% between now and 2013.
41% believe the biggest challenge to succeeding overseas is being able to generate sales, followed by selecting an agent/distributor (17%) and fluctuations in exchange rates (13%).
In terms of manufacturing issues, securing competitive production costs was listed as the biggest worry (50%), with after sales support (19%) and meeting different international standards (14%) the other most common concerns.
David went on to add: "Exporting has been a key driver in the upsurge in manufacturing and this shows no signs of changing, even with the Eurozone in turmoil.
"Securing competitive production costs against global rivals has been a long-term issue and one MAS continues to help SMEs with through on-the-ground assistance and specialist workshops.
"We'd also encourage manufacturers to fully utilise the network of support in place to help them succeed overseas, including tapping into support from ourselves, UK Trade & Investment, Society for Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), ADS (Aerospace Defence Security) and the world class Universities we have in England."
Brandauer, which employs 52 people at its factory in Birmingham, was one of the companies questioned.
The precision component manufacturer has secured £2m of new orders over the last six months and, following £750,000 investment in two high-speed presses, is looking to break £10m by the end of 2013.
Rowan Crozier, Sales and Marketing Director, commented:
"This year has been quite static so far, with the new contracts replacing some of the projects that have come to a natural end. We are definitely seeing softening in certain sectors, as the Original Equipment Manufacturers de-stock and put investment plans on hold.
"With automation and tooling for new projects in the environmental and automotive electronic sectors currently going through the sample approval stage, we are budgeting for significant growth over the remainder of this financial year."
He continued: "Nearly 80% of our turnover is export and the majority is for China and the US, so we haven't really been affected by the Eurozone crisis. I feel that English manufacturers will have to broaden their horizons; there's a whole new world of potential clients out there in countries outside our traditional markets."
MAS, which is funded by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS), works for manufacturers and through experienced advisors can help shape strategy, create new products, reduce waste and review supply chains.
Companies can take advantage of a free review that identifies key priority areas and funding is available for improvement projects focused on increasing efficiency, developing new products, strengthening supply chains and boosting sales.

Basically this is not made for my body type. If you have a short torso and larger hips, it might be very flattering. For me, I'm 5'9" and it flared out where it should have nipped in and there was excess fabric sitting awkwardly above my hips.

Love jacket
I love this jacket and pant I purchased it last fall on sale and it's a regular staple in my wardrobe. Tried to get the skirt to add to my collection recently and it's a totally different shade of brown much darker and richer.
Be sure to get ALL the pieces of the suit within the same season because the colors and materials change .
Overall great fit and good quality suit

Russell Frank Astronomy Lecture
When: Mar. 22, 2013, 7:30pm - 8:30pmCampus Location: Robert L. Bigelow Physics
Office/Remote Location: Room 102
Professor Karl Gebhardt from the University of Texas at Austin will be the featured speaker at the Russell Frank Astronomy Lecture Series. Gebhardt's talk is titled, "Exploring the Dark Side of the Universe: Black Holes, Dark Matter and Dark Energy."
The lecture will discuss three key findings in astronomy. A new force of nature, dark energy, is causing the expansion of the universe to speed up. The nature of dark matter that dominates mass around galaxies is unknown. Black holes are thought to exist in all galaxies, yet we do not understand how they form and interact with galaxies.
Each of these three areas is ripe for significant advances. We will review the current discoveries and understanding of these dark components of the universe. We will discuss new data that show that we are living through a unique time for astronomy.
This talk is intended for a general audience, including enthusiasts of all backgrounds and ages.

This 'stealth unionization' should definitely be against the law and all of those so far affected by it should be removed from union roles. Their unwillingly withheld dues should be returned-with interest, payable by whatever ' union' collected them!
Doesn't seem too stealthy to me. These people are being paid by the government, in essence working for the government, therefore according to the closed shop agreement, they are now in the union, and should receive benefits and pay union dues accordingly.
The thing is, they are not employees. They are private contractors. Under this logic, grocery stores that accept WIC checks and welfare debit cards should be required to deduct state employee union dues, because the money comes from the state. Any contractor that does any work for the state in any fashion must pay same dues. Any college researcher who receives a state grant should pay said dues. The home daycare workers do not receive salaries from the state. They receive subsidies. So if one must pay, all must pay.
There isn't anything wrong with belonging to the union, if you choose that. These people are forced into it. And then most of their union dues are used for political purposes that like are different from their own.
It's wrong and should be banned.
It is illegal, or was until the recent SCOTUS ruling, for union dues to be used as political contributions.
These are not private contractors who bid and are paid a fee to do a job. These are employees paid wages by the State.
Landlords get "direct" pay from both the Federal and State Government. But, the money belongs to the person "receiving the benefit". Therefore they are being paid not by the State but by the renter. This is the same concept for day care workers. They get "direct" pay from the Government, but the money belongs to the person receiving the benefit. In essence the person receiving the benefit is the taxpayer. Should all taxpayers be "forced" into Unions also? This piece of legislation was very poorly thought out and is just one more attempt at forcing all of Michigan, and the United States, into a progresive society based upon social programming. Someone needs to understand that we have become slaves to the Government and it is time to declare our liberty.
Landlords? Renters?
No taxpayers are forced into unions with this bill. This bill actually wants to ban so-called "stealth" unionization of workers paid with government funds.
But I do join you in opposing this bill. These workers who are paid with government money should receive the benefits of union membership.

Room a good size, clean and relatively comfortable. Walls very thin . Found 9 am really late for breakfast. Latest in 3 months travelling in South America so spent lots of time reading and waiting. But breakfast good when it was time. They do not do laundry and don't ask them to. Way too expensive..
