Pearl GTL offshore structure begins journey to Qatar from Dubai
The Pearl 1 topside structure has a lift weight of 1,840 tonnes, as much as 800 Toyota Landcruisers, and is the size of a 10-storey office building. It is being transported to Qatari waters by barge. Once there, the structure will be lifted on top of a platform jacket, or legs, which is already fixed to the sea-bed over the North Field in a water depth of about 36 metres.
The Pearl 1 topside was skidded on to the barge using mechanical winches which pulled the topside onto the barge deck in a half-day operation. The topside was then securely fastened to the barge to ensure stability during sea towing operations.
The topside has five decks of production, control and testing equipment, including 90 kilometres of control and power cables within the structure. This facility will be connected to 11 wells drilled into the natural gas reservoir deep below the sea bed. In normal operation Pearl 1 will be unmanned, with crew visiting by boat for maintenance. All processing of the natural gas will be conducted onshore.
The Pearl 1 topside has been built over 20 months by J Ray McDermott at its yard in Jebel Ali. Some 4,000 workers were involved in the engineering, construction and commissioning. There were no lost time injuries in over three million man-hours of work.
Pearl GTL is being developed by Qatar Petroleum and Shell and includes the construction of the largest Gas to Liquids plant in the world at Ras Laffan Industrial City. Major construction is expected to be complete by the end of 2010 with production ramp-up in 2011.
Andy Brown, Shell's Executive Vice President and Managing Director of the Pearl GTL project, said today: "The J Ray McDermott team are to be congratulated for completing the construction of the Pearl 1 topside safely and efficiently. I am glad that the Pearl 1 topside is now on its way to Qatar, where it will serve for decades producing natural gas."
The second topside structure, Pearl 2, is nearing completion in Dubai and will be transported to Qatar in the coming months. The two platforms will be connected to shore by two 30 inch pipelines which were installed last year.
Pearl GTL is the largest energy project ever launched in the State of Qatar. It will produce liquid fuels, lubricants and chemical feedstocks from natural gas, opening new markets for Qatar's natural resources. It will also produce significant quantities of natural gas liquids and ethane.

Thank you
for your emails and phone calls!
Your voices are being heard!
We just recently received a phone call from Congressman Austin Scott's office here in Georgia where our facilities are located. They were responding to letters we mailed to his 3 different office locations. It took us mailing 2 separate letters 4 weeks apart to get his attention. So, please continue to write and call your local congressmen and senators. You will be heard!
Although there has been no action from the FDA to speedily review our case, we are hoping that our Congressman can help to speed things along. We are anxious to re-open and to provide to you our high quality supplements.
Download Updated Sample Letters
I want to personally thank you for writing, emailing, and calling your state representatives. Your action is what makes a difference.
Dear Customer,
BioAnue has received an injunction from the United States of America. We may NOT sell any dietary supplement until all of our literature and product labeling has been first approved by the FDA. We are currently working with a specialty lawyer in order to comply with this injunction.
We are working diligently to get out approval from the FDA. We are halfway through the process and hope to be selling again by the end of the month. All of the products you have previously ordered will still be available, although some will have a bright, new look! None of the formulations are changing so rest assured you will still be receiving our high quality products. Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to speaking with you soon.
Kind Regards,
To read the injunction order please click the following link:

* required fields
In response to Buildings readers' queries about new directions in heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems, as well as building automation systems (BAS), the editorial staff directed a questionnaire to leading suppliers of comfort and control systems asking for their input. Selected excerpts follow.
On the Web
Facility managers can expect to see the Internet play a larger role in the management of their facilities. The variety of web-savvy products and services is increasing dramatically, offering new ways to monitor the performance of building systems. This includes using web browsers, PDAs, and Internet-connected cell phones from anywhere to check the status of a building. Interoperable products, such as BACnet and LonWorks, will become more and more mainstream, as well as more easily integrated into comprehensive control systems.
— Comfort Systems USA, Tempe, AZ (www.comfortsystemsusa.com)
In Transition
In 2002, facility professionals will face uncertainty in the market and must pay close attention to the types of controls they are receiving. Many major HVAC equipment companies are transitioning to new control lines. These control lines promise compatibility with standard protocols currently offered in the market; however, they most likely will not be compatible with the current controls on the site. Therefore, they can expect to pay additional money for integration of these controls to their system. Furthermore, since these HVAC equipment companies are in transition, facility professionals may receive a mix of control types on a single job, and the jobs will take longer to commission.
— Integrated Systems, Siemens Building Technologies, Buffalo Grove, IL (www.sbt.siemens.com)
Environmental Awareness
The power to control our indoor environment makes all the difference in the way we feel on the job, in the classroom, at home, and on the go. We also know that heating, cooling, ventilation, and refrigeration are much more than issues of comfort and process. We recognize the urgent need to maintain a responsible balance between the comfort we create today and the world we live in tomorrow. Carrier has identified six specific areas that directly affect how we, as a world manufacturer, balance our customers' needs with the need for responsible consumption: indoor air quality, sound, air distribution, refrigerant, product efficiency, and size/material reduction. Once we have reached a goal in one of these areas, we set our environmental standards even higher for the design and engineering of new products.
— Carrier Corp., Syracuse, NY
Alternative Cooling
Facility managers will be required to lower the cost of energy through conservation, alternative energy sources, and increased efficiency of available energy, while simultaneously providing building occupants with the same level of comfort and convenience. The astute manager will recognize that cheaper energy is available at night and that Thermal Energy Storage (TES) systems enable him/her to take advantage of those cheaper rates for cooling commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings. The operating principle of TES differs from traditional cooling systems because it does not rely on high, power-consuming chillers operating at peak demand periods. Instead, chillers are used during off-peak periods when rates are cheapest to form ice inside a series of … tanks.
— Calmac Manufacturing Corp., Englewood, NJ (www.calmac.com)
Development Drivers
Four major trends are affecting the design and application of HVAC and Building Automation Systems in commercial buildings, and they are driving the development of products and services by York International. As we enter 2002, we see the major trends as:
— York International Corp., York, PA (www.york.com)
Matching Needs
Facility professionals should expect to see a variety of solutions become more prevalent within the building automation industry. More and more companies are offering integration solutions, particularly in regards to BACnet, or BACnet to other protocols. Products that pass BACnet testing will soon be wearing the BTL mark, greatly helping assure interoperability between products. Different systems within the building will be easier to integrate than before. Manufacturers will continue to offer more products that embrace new technologies, such as web browsers, wireless mobile devices, high-speed LANs or WANs, enterprise solutions, real-time energy monitoring, graphical engineering, and operating tools. In short, there will be more and more ways to look at a facility and design systems that match the needs of the facility operator, utilizing technologies that have not been previously available.
— Alerton Technologies Inc., Redmond, WA (www.alerton.com)
A Warm Temp Warning
Computers, networks, communications and office equipment will shut down when the temperature rises, crippling daily operations. Back-up power generators typically provide enough power to run emergency lighting and critical systems, such as computers during a power outage, but do not have enough power to run central air-conditioning. [After the frightening reality of blackouts and brownouts in 2001, facilities professionals should either prepare their facilities for the possibility of warm office temperatures, uncomfortable personnel, and the interruption in work processes due to disabled computer and telecommunications equipment] – or be prepared with a back-up cooling system.
— MovinCool, Long Beach, CA
Safer Buildings
Worries about bioterrorism are causing facility professionals to take a serious look at what might be done, both inside and out, to make buildings safer. We expect this trend to continue in 2002 and beyond. Many facilities people are incorporating proven UVC technology into their bioterrorism defense plans. We recommend looking at UVC as part of a total engineering control strategy that includes air filtration, specific ventilation practices, and other preventive measures.
— Steril-Aire Inc., Cerritos, CA (www.steril-aire-usa.com)
Total Control
The controls industry, though focused on system controls in the 1990s, has begun progressing towards total control solutions and will continue to do so through the next decade. This progression toward a solutions focus is prompted by the convergence of a variety of trends including: building environment comfort; energy costs; environmental concerns; risk management; and enhanced computer, Internet, and wireless communication technology to building automation systems.
Facility managers, in particular, will need to focus on increasing their level of building controls, evaluating higher efficiency products, and thinking of service in a different, more proactive manner. Increasingly service will be used to keep a building "in tune" so that it operates efficiently during the life of the building. The advent of digital controls really opens the opportunity to ensure that a building does operate as intended.
— The Trane Co., LaCrosse, WI (www.trane.com)
Internet Standards
Our industry will see a dramatic increase in the use of web technologies during the coming year. Web-based control systems have "come of age" and are being used in all types of building automation systems, from small single-building HVAC systems to vast nationwide networks that integrate multiple campuses into a unified automation system. In addition to giving operators the freedom to access their building controls from any computer on the network, the use of web standards allows a wide array of Internet "gadgets," such as WAP-enabled cell phones and palm-held computers to become powerful tools in a facility manager's arsenal. The use of web standards will significantly increase the interoperability of control systems. Where older technologies, such as DDE and OPC, allowed a limited amount of data exchange to be "added on" to a building automation system, the new systems are designed from the ground up to use such Internet standards as TCP/IP, XML, and SOAP.
— Automated Logic Corp., Kennesaw, GA (www.automatedlogic.com
Zone Conditioning
Energy concerns will have greater impact on HVAC selection. Zone conditioning continues to be the most efficient air-conditioning option.
— Mitsubishi Electric/HVAC div., Lawrenceville, GA
Bioterrorisms and HVAC
The potential threat of bioterrorism using anthrax has raised the question of what can be done with the air filtration system to increase protection of building occupants. Many building managers are investigating upgrading to HEPA filters. This can pose a tricky situation from an HVAC operating standpoint, as well as substantial costs for system upgrades. First, commercial and industrial HVAC systems do not seal adequately to provide HEPA filtration. There is too much leakage around the filters. Second, HEPA filters operate at a far higher pressure drop than ASHRAE filters. Commercial and industrial air-handling systems are not designed to handle this level of resistance.
— AirGuard Industries Inc., Louisville, KY
Cost Conscious
Energy efficiency will be a rapidly growing requirement to address the issue of increasing power costs. Broad USA, in conjunction with electricity-generating equipment manufacturers, the engineering community, and the Department of Energy, are testing a prototype combining cooling, heating, and power plants for commercial applications. Expected results will provide facility professionals a pre-engineered and modularized approach towards doubling energy efficiency, reducing costs, and increasing reliability over conventional grid-based systems.

The Florida Panthers (16-21-6) will play the second of their three game road trip tonight against the Buffalo Sabres (12-26-4) at 7:00 p.m. ET. The Sabres have the worst record in the NHL and they are the only team behind the Panthers in the Eastern Conference. Here are five things to watch for in tonight's matchup.
1) Time For Revenge
The Buffalo Sabres have the league's worst record (12-26-4) and with 28 points they sit in the Eastern Conference basement, ten points behind the Panthers who occupy the next spot. Despite this, the Sabres have not been an easy out. Buffalo defeated the Panthers 3-1 in the teams' first meeting back on October 25, at the BB&T Center despite being outshot 45-21.
Florida will get a shot at revenge tonight in Buffalo in what will be the second of four match-ups between the two teams this season. Winning tonight in Buffalo will be no easy task for the Cats as the Sabres have been playing some of their best hockey of the season having gone 5-3-2 in their last ten games.

I took a picture of every figure your hips would attempt to trace
The awkward truth of washed-out love was installed on your face
For the longest while, I tried to smile, thinking doubt would die
You had to melt into the night, I told a simple lie
The rainwater parties, daydream illusions of people we used to know
Share the secrets they love to hide, putting it all on show
I can't remember that dull September you gave me a bottled sigh
I was wreck to say the least, I told another simple lie
Never knew the trouble it takes to bury those terrible ways
I need to change, mature and change, I've known it all these days
I'm too long owned by girls who moaned at the thought the moon would cry
I had to find my own way out by telling a simple lie
Empty's empty - nothing fills her, time is her enemy
I couldn't find the road back home when everything was up to me
Tried not to repeat all my awful defeats and I needed no good reason why
You'd never know the price of truth by telling me a simple lie
The ten inch finger points me out to a sentence most unfair
The smiling faces on the underground don't seem to really care
I was young, I couldn't hold my tongue; I was never all that shy
I was held in cruel contempt for telling quite a simple lie
Somebody told me a secret again, trusting that I wouldn't tell
Everything they did smelled of vague regret, another coin into the wishing well
Grinding it out before I'm thrown about by a destiny too damn sly
I thought I'd write an honest poem, but I told another simple lie
Fate will make our paths cross
But is it what I want? My future is someone else's, and soon it will be yours.
People say we are for each other, but is it truly so? A companionable silence will follow but nothing will grow. They say time will bring us love
I think not. Acceptance will grow but not of love
Love eludes me in this destiny, this cage I'm trapped in
My choices are yours, your choices are others
We are what they define us to be.
Love for us - It's nothing but an illusion
The only love we will ever have is to forever be
In love
With the idea of love.
Every word you say is
every lie you will tell
I'm quite tired of your words and lies
I'm quite tired of you
Tell me how you feel
Instead of telling lies
Instead of telling half truths
And instead of confusing me
Tell me the truth
there's nothing left of tomorrow.
you've been consumed by your own sorrow
where do I go, where can I stay
I wasn't even sober, for just one day
i'm sick of the lie
it's time to say goodbye.
You say you're gonna do things, but you do the opposite.
You promise me things, but never keep them.
You promise that you won't hurt me anymore, yet you do.
All these broken promises, all my hopes crushed...
At that moment in time
my heart was beating to loud to hear anything else
my tears were falling so fast
the rain could not compare
the look in my eyes gave it all away
the look in your eyes told me you were ready to let me in
could that have been your gaol?
reaching for the last thing that put me in control.
I just want you t know
that I can never let you go
If i could set flames to flowers
and if I could burn the memories
I would fly away with the ashes in the breeze
and i'll stare in to your bruised eyes from a distance
like two moons staring back at me
and I'll try not to listen
because every I love you was lie
A lie cuts both sides
A lie never hides
To your naked heart
Guile a flying dart
A lie once employed
Leaves a gaping void
Poison soon will win
The vacuum within
Who invented the lie?
How smart was he
To make such an action
Hidden humility
The lie
A gift to the ridiculed
A weapon to the a elite
A curse to the oppressed
Such a lovely thing
A lie can be
To hide true intentions
To tease the population
Yet so powerful it could be
To fool anyone
To lead people on
One great temptress
The best thing it does
Is to fool oneself
To forget everything
To live in your own world
Thus, it is used
Thus, it is loved
Thus, it is needed
By the likes of you and I.
Hope is a myth.
To live is to die, to die is to die, there is no hope.
I see the world ashen, aflame, burned, scorched, molten, squelched.
My soul thirst for that which is right; it cries out for goodness, is weeps for justice!
The world mourns the dead, I mourn the world.
All my rising is a burden, better had it been if I was never born than to witness the destruction of the world I came into.
Life is an unending road of burning tires and weeping mothers. All my hope is turned to despair.

Telling Our Stories to Change Lives
It doesn't have to be slick or perfect, people just want to hear the raw, authentic version of your moments meeting Christ.
I Am Second's sleek site offers stories and videos like this aplenty. So I get why people would be drawn to hear, to watch.
That said, after spending a chunk of time there, clicking around at a few videos, fast-forwarding through many of them, I wasn't exactly hooked.
After all, there wasn't anything for me. As selfish and "I am first" as this may sound, I'm just being honest. While I have struggled plenty in my life—in fact, in many ways I'm mid-struggle right now—I didn't connect with the stories presented.
Maybe it was the presentation itself. Though promotional material for the site professes "authentic" and "raw" film testimonies, to me, most felt distant. Though I have no doubt the stories are true, the feelings sincere, the ever-present black background and white chair remind viewers it's a set. With props. It's not real life. Not raw. Maybe not entirely authentic.
Maybe it was the over-arching maleness of the site. Except for the hot pink stripe across the top, like so much else in Christendom, this site is male-dominated. Not only are most of the videos of men, but the topics seem to speak largely to men. Middle-class American men, at least.
But before clicking away, I took one last look, this time scrolling through "all videos," until I saw Anne Rice. And I wanted to take back everything I'd just written. She spoke beautifully about her writing, about her walking away from the faith, about her having been a "Christ-haunted atheist." And I felt like she was talking to me—like we had a connection.
I've never been an atheist. I've been a Christian nearly all my life. But as one who has been "prone to wander," as the song goes, I've known that Christ-haunted feeling, that beckoning back to the Cross. And like Anne Rice, I'm a writer (though one of us is a touch more successful than the other). And like her, I'm a lover of some of the mysterious ways we explore faith.
Finally connecting with a story made me realize that the I Am Second folks are definitely on to something. They're filling a gaping hole in this world—the hole of people willing to tell their stories.
The stories of having hurt, having been lost, desperate, of hitting rock bottom (again and again) and feeling the hand of God reach into a life. We do want to hear stories of those who know what it is to be turned around, made new.
But really, I don't think we want to hear it from people we don't know—even if we do admire and relate to them as I did with Anne Rice—we want to hear them from our friends, our families, our neighbors. And they want to hear them from us.
I say this with great caution—as a writer. Because I write these kinds of stories. Stories of my own frustration and disappointment and hurt and disillusionment and feeling abandoned by God. And I long for others to connect with me and my stories. The same way the creators of I Am Second hope others will connect.
But as a writer, I also understand that there's safety in the distance of the written page. Even though I try to write and share as transparently as I can, there's still a distance from writer to reader, from speaker to audience, that makes this story-telling easier.
The real trick—and the real power—lies in telling the stories face to face. In person. For real. In real time.
To turn and tell one another—our friends, families, neighbors— when we feel desperate, needy, hurt. And then to tell what Jesus has done and is doing in our lives. The way people who encountered Jesus in the Scriptures did. The way the Woman at the Well ran right into town to tell what Jesus had done. The way the Bleeding Woman pressed through a crowd—infecting everyone she touched—to show her shame and her suffering and her faith. The way Mary ran back to tell how Jesus appeared to her.
So while I hope millions continue to click on I Am Second, and I pray people continue to buy books and read blogs to be fortified with hope and grace, what I really hope is that every time we do experience the power of a story to change a life, we remember that we don't have to be on a slick site or the printed page to do it.
And really, those stories are best when they aren't.

Great article. I agree that we can be more deeply touched by listening to the stories of people we know. I also believe that if we can peel off the layers of shame and fear of rejection, we tell a more authentic--more belivable story. When we do this, we heal others and allow them to be who they are. And in the process, we heal ourselves.

text: Marilyn Monroe is one of the world's most familiar faces, and yet, no one knows the true person behind it. One of the reasons I admire Marilyn so much is because when she was a child she was the girl no one knew or wanted and she became the woman no one could forget. I also admire the way she achieved her dreams despite the sadness, loneliness, and lack of confidence she had as a child and teenager. She was intelligent, strong, witty, and talented; and I am proud of her. I'm proud of how she took initiative of her own dreams to achieve being an actress and happy. I am also proud of the positive message she is sending to young girls and even boys today which is: No matter who you are or where you come from - you way inside of yourself can achieve your dream if you believe in it. Thank you Marilyn, I love you.

His eyes looked to the left side of the room where an old worn out couch sat in front of the front windows. Across from the couch was a broken down chair and an old television.
The boy closed his eyes as his mind drifted back to his old house by the river. He pictured his mother's upright piano standing against one wall between the living room and the kitchen. It was the center piece of their small house and the pride of his mother. The boy wondered if the new owners played it each day.He imagined the smell of fresh baked apple pies cooling in the kitchen.

A Movie Review by Jonathan Lewis: EDGE OF DARKNESS (1943).Posted by Steve under Films: Drama/Romance , Reviews , War Films
[3] Comments
EDGE OF DARKNESS. Warner Brothers, 1943. Errol Flynn, Ann Sheridan, Walter Huston, Nancy Coleman, Helmut Dantine, Judith Anderson, Ruth Gordon, John Beal, Morris Carnovsky. Director: Lewis Milestone.
Many of Errol Flynn's movies have a sense of lightness to them. That's often what makes them such watchable, timeless films. Flynn is most often cast alongside two comical companions or in singular pursuit of a lovely girl who initially despises him, but eventually comes to love him.
He's the gentleman forced into fighting for a just cause. Think the swashbuckling Captain Blood (1935) or the epic, iconic Dodge City (1939). They are adventure stories, where Flynn portrays the elegant good guy who defeats the bad guy and, in the end, gets the girl. But there's a sense that all the fisticuffs and gunfighting have been in good fun, even if more than a few people have gotten banged up or shot down along the way.
Edge of Darkness, while an exceptionally good war movie, is neither fun, nor would one would call a happy film. Indeed, it's one Errol Flynn movie where he doesn't portray a particularly elegant man and there aren't any bad guys, at least not in the lighthearted sense of the term.
In Edge of Darkness, a story about Norwegian resistance fighters during the Second World War, the proverbial bad guys – the Nazis – aren't merely bad. They are evil. And they can't be reasoned with, tricked into changing their ways, or laughed aside. They must be killed. It's this premise, coupled with great cinematography and superb performances by Flynn, Ann Sheridan, Walter Huston, and Helmut Dantine, that set this beautifully gritty Warner Brothers war film apart from other anti-Nazi films of the era.
Directed by Lewis Milestone with a script by Robert Rossen, Edge of Darkness is a very powerful film about a simple man's determination to free his country from the grip of totalitarianism. Flynn portrays Gunnar Brogge, a Norwegian resistance leader in the small fishing village of Trollness. He's determined to get weapons from the British and to use them to strike against the Nazis occupying his town.
Brogge's commitment to methodical planning is tested when he discovers that a Nazi soldier violated his girlfriend, Karen Stensgard (Ann Sheridan). Further straining the already tense situation is the fact that Karen's brother collaborated with the Nazis in Oslo and that her father, Dr. Martin Stensgard (Huston) is not fully committed to violent action against the German invaders.
There are some very tense moments in this well-acted film, including a scene in which Brogge, along with others, is forced to dig his own grave — literally. The most memorable scene in the film, however, may belong to actor Morris Carnovksy, a veteran of the Yiddish theater and Broadway. Carnovsky, portrays Sixtus Andresen, a town schoolteacher who refuses to yield to the demands of the top Nazi thug in Trollness, Captain Koenig (Dantine). It's a poignant reminder than individuals do have a choice when faced with tyranny.

Don't let ivy climb your house unless you're ready to do annual pruning. The ivy vines may be beautiful, but once established, they can cover windows, gutters and beyond. They can also serve as bridges for pests, especially termites. And never let vines climb a frame house.

Now called the Norge GT 8V, it has a new chassis, body panels and the latest evolution of the Italian firm's eight valve engine, replacing the old two-valve motor. It also comes with an impressive array of goodies, all included in the price too. It's as comfortable as ever with a ...

There was a time when Yamaha's Tenere range of bikes ruled the earth, literally. As desert and dirt blasters for Paris-Dakar like competitions, the name Tenere became synonymous with adventure and off-road riding. Then it all went quiet and BMW took on the mantle of Adventure bike champions with its modern-day GS range.Yamaha's revival started with the 2008 XT660Z Tenere, ...

Revived Norton's new Commando 961 SE is a 'feel good' bike par excellence. It gives riding and owning pleasure by the skip-load and is a machine you'll park up and spend hours admiring in the garage with a cuppa. Yes, in this full-bling, limited edition, £16K, SE trim, the 961 is arguably more ornament than transport, but that's's arguably irrelevent ...

The Stelvio is Moto Guzzi's answer to the hugely-successful BMW R1200GS. It is brand new from the ground-up featuring a new chassis, suspension, wheels, tyres and Moto Guzzi's latest 8v 1200cc V-twin motor. Next to the BMW it's not as fast, light or focussed but it doesn't take itself as seriously either. It offers up more confidence in the corners ...

The hub-centre steered Bimota Tesi is back. This is the third generation Bimota Tesi: the 3D. It costs £19,600 and is powered by the Ducati Multistrada 1100 engine. Although the Bimota Tesi is beautifully made, it's a very cramped motorcycle and the quirky front end doesn't have anywhere near the feel of a well set-up pair of forks. The cheaper ...

'Designed for Europe' Harley-Davidson Street Rod is a sports version of the Harley-Davidson V-Rod. So while the engine remains the same as its cruiser cousin, the Harley-Davidson Street Rod's chassis has been modified to turn it into a handler. It works, too, delivering a much more invigorating ride – still no Suzuki GSX-R1000, not by a long chalk.
1130cc, 115bhp, 144mph, Insurance group 17
The Harley-Davidson Night Rod is the third derivative of the controversial (but undeniably modern) Harley-Davidson VRSC V-Rod family is for those who like their bikes hot-rod style – and black. In practical terms it's halfway between the laid back Harley-Davidson V-Rod and semi-sporty roadster Harley-Davidson Street Rod. And that's no bad thing: a modern Harley with style and ability.
1449cc, 67bhp, 110mph, Insurance group 15
The Harley-Davidson Softail Standard has classic Harley looks and technology for the custom fan who wants the authentic American experience. The Softail family has concealed rear suspension for a hard-core 'hardtail' look. The Harley-Davidson Softail Standard was discontinued for 2007. Compared to later motorcycles, the main differences are that it hasn't got the latest air cooled engine and other minor refinements.

After seemingly decades in the doldrums Moto Guzzi is back with a strikingly styled, well built roadster that's a match for the best from anywhere. As an objet d'art the beautifully designed and finished Griso is eye-catchingly stunning. As a motorcycle, it's fun, functional and pretty much as cool as it gets… Watch the Moto Guzzi Griso take on ...

Italian with real history – the Moto Guzzi California 1100EV hasn't changed hugely since the 850cc version of 1972. But it's still a machine well worth considering. The California 1100EV is a cruiser / tourer that actually handles. The transverse Moto Guzzi V-twin engine's has a chunky, chuggy character and while the California 1100EV's not superb at anything it's a great all rounder. Surviving versions are ...

damned with faint praise10 Jul 2007
My son, Norman Junior III, plays competitive junior tennis. When I watch him play, I tend to stand at a distance and remain completely silent. Outwardly at least. I always try to offer positive encouragement - congratulations if he wins and commiserations after a defeat.
My son wins some matches and loses a handful more. However, he always enjoys playing, he doesn't scream and shout or thrash his racket into the ground. He wins and loses with the same good grace which makes me just as proud as his sporting prowess.
However, recently, he was given a real hiding by a lad of a similar age, ranking and ability. When he came off, I said 'Jesus. If you're going to play and serve like that, I think even I could take a set off you.' I always call him 'Jesus' when I am cross with him.
This lunchtime, work and school commitments finally allowed the great Brightside veteran-junior invitational challenge to take place.
He thrashed me 6-0. I took him to a couple of deuces but only because he made a couple of unforced errors and threw in a few double faults. When Sue Barker interviewed me, in a sweaty and breathless state (me not Sue) immediately afterwards, she made the preposterous claim that I only made two outright winners during the whole 24 minutes.
When I asked my son for tips to improve my all-round game, he graciously replied
'You actually weren't as bad I thought. You did get some serves in.'
I may have lost but I can tell you, I really looked the part as I strolled out onto court 14, immaculately attired in cream flannels, cream blazer with a cream holdall embossed in gold lettering with 'NB'.
We then adjourned to Asda for an emergency purchase (toilet rolls) and I cheered myself up with the purchase of Editors 'An End Has a Start'. This CD has been on my wishlist for a whole but I have been poised on tenterhooks, waiting for Doug Burns to divulge his innermost thoughts on this indie band but, sorry, Doug, I simply can not bear the suspense any longer.
I see Interpol's third album ('Our Love To Admire') is also out which has received negative reviews for being too similar to the previous two with vivid echoes of Joy Division so that has also been ordered.

They fear they will lose the case during their cross; they will be made to look less than credible; and the jury won't like them. Whether the cross-examination is difficult because opposing counsel is obstreperous or because the facts are weak, counsel can use several techniques to effectively prepare witnesses. ...

"So, are you just swimming in money?"
The question came from an elementary-age boy during a Q&A session. The teachers gasped at his chutzpah, but I smiled. I get that question all the time.
I held up one of my big, shiny picture books. "In the store, this sells for about $15. Of that, how much do you think the author gets?"
The kids began to shout out answers. "$14!"
I shook my head. "That's high."
"Still high."
"Still high."
We counted down until the correct answer: "Fifty cents?"
"That's right. After I split the royalties with the illustrator, I earn about fifty cents."
And suddenly all those bright faces dulled to the pallor of pity. The Visiting Author wasn't swimming in money—she wasn't even getting her toes wet.
The cold hard facts
The truth is simple: Sell many books, earn many monies. Sell a few books, earn a few bucks. Consistently sell a few books and you'd better look for a day job to support your writing habit.
The other day I found this interesting snippet in Publishers Weekly:
"Here's the reality of the book industry: in 2004, 950,000 titles out of the 1.2 million tracked by Nielsen Bookscan sold fewer than 99 copies. Another 200,000 sold fewer than 1,000 copies. Only 25,000 sold more than 5,000 copies. The average book in America sells about 500 copies. Blockbusters are a minute anomaly: only 10 books sold more than a million copies last year, and fewer than 500 sold more than 100,000."
If you do the math, you'll discover that lots of folks are writing purely for the love of it.
The reality
I've written more than 100 books, so I have quite a few volumes out there earning fifty cent pieces. I make a decent living, enough that I'm able to write full time. But in hard economic times publishers are as squeezed as authors. I've lived on cash advances and home equity. Even a prolific writer's life can be feast or famine.
Many writers have a spouse who helps support the family through the learning years and during those long lulls between checks. Sometimes the writer is the primary breadwinner. Many novelists (in fact, most) work a day job and write at night.
God has always proven Himself faithful. The result? A life of living by faith for finances, ideas, and opportunities. But isn't that what the Christian walk is all about?
Angela Hunt lives, writes, and tries to balance her checkbook in Florida. Nearly four million copies of Angela's books have sold worldwide. Visit her at www.angelahuntbooks.com.

Find the fastest DNS using a free tool
Interesting tool, but I'm not sure what to do about the results. I have VZ FIOS but I'm using their Westel router in bridge mode and my D-Link Extreme N as my router. Testing the VZ IP assigned to their router (my public IP) shows their DNS to be 22% faster than OpenDNS. However when I test the D-Link router's IP it shows that OpenDNS is 28% faster. Should I stick with the VZ setup or change it to OpenDNS? TIA for any advice.
Find the fastest DNS using a free tool
I've found varying results as well. It's the TCP/IP so nothing is 100% consistent. The best way is to run multiple results over varying times. Even on the university LANs, talking to local DNS servers, it's varied as to which I should choose among the 3 on campus. Benchmarking anything is more an art than a science, so repeat and take as a guideline.
I am, and always will be, an Idiot.

6 Bands No One Noticed Broke Up
By Corey Deiterman
A surefire future member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for his work with '80s hit machine Fleetwood Mac alone, Lindsey Buckingham has always been an artistic visionary and a musical perfectionist. He's been creating the stuff of genius since he and former band mate Stevie Nicks were first united musically in high school in San Francisco 40 years ago. But for all his notoriety as a Fleetwood Mac mover and shaker, Buckingham has in fact almost always created his music as a solo artist.
The 57-year-old Buckingham's latest CD, Under the Skin, his quietest record ever, is one of those deeply personal, reflective albums full of philosophical musings and mystical atmospherics that music mags just wet their pants over -- and in this case, deservedly so. The music press fell in love with Buckingham all over again as the album landed on all kinds of Best Of lists, including Rolling Stone's and Mojo's.
Anyone who saw Buckingham's jaw-dropping solo performance of "Big Love" during the Fleetwood Mac reunion tour shouldn't be surprised by the idiosyncratic minimalist pop that is Buckingham's vehicle of choice these days (quite a change for a madman who toured with a band that included seven guitar players in support of his 1992 solo album Out of the Cradle!). His guitar playing is as precise and melodic as ever, and he milks an impressive range of emotion from his thin voice. Given a bigger treatment, "Slow You Down" from the new album could easily approach the best stuff of Brian Wilson, but big treatments aren't a fit for these songs, and Buckingham has kept things brilliantly simple. It is sure-handed judgments such as these that assure Buckingham's place in pop music history.

Secured city
How David Wardell, vice president of Operations and Public Safety for the Atlanta Downtown Improvement District, helped deploy a city-wide monitoring plan that has kept the area safe
Downtown Atlanta is unique in the order of magnitude of daily population (200,000), number of properties and businesses (more than 17 million sq.ft.), entertainment and sporting special events and venues, conventioneers (5 million per year), the size of its government district and the associated activities (operations, advocacy and protests), and its critical infrastructure in such close proximity within the Downtown Improvement District's 220 blocks.
Atlanta is second only to Washington D.C. in number of federal employees. The City and County Headquarters complexes, along with the State Capitol and major offices are located within the Downtown's Government District, along with major federal facilities hosting more than 13,000 federal employees.
Downtown Atlanta has the fourth-largest convention center (Georgia World Congress Center with 2.1 million sq.ft. of exhibit space) in the country, but has the largest concentration of major special events venues clustered, including the Georgia Dome, Centennial Olympic Park and Philips Arena. Also included are the New World of Coke, the Georgia Aquarium and CNN. Downtown Atlanta draws hundreds of thousands daily for business, government, conventions, tourism and sporting events, resulting in the highest density of pedestrian traffic in the southeast on a daily basis.
With the consideration of the normal threat variables associated with the description of Downtown, combined with its core business interests and economic value, and of course, controlling crime (both actual and perceived), it became evident to those charged with ensuring the safety of our citizenry that we needed to do everything reasonably possible to be diligent in protecting our community.
As is the case with a number of large cities, Atlanta has been experiencing severe police shortages for a number of years, and is now on the path to fielding more police, but a protective multiplier was needed. The collective feeling was that surveillance cameras could provide that additional edge. Of course, convincing those financing the primary initiative that a return on investment (ROI) would be realized was a challenge. Business leaders want to see tangible results. This is not always easy when there is not a direct correlation between action and results.
The efforts were definitely worth it. We have seen a significant crime reduction in Part 1 Crimes (homicide, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny and auto theft), with the most recent snapshot revealing a 34-percent reduction. Nuisance crimes have seen a significant reduction in incidents and complaints, which directly impacts our convention and hospitality business. In short, the cameras have effectively multiplied our surveillance, intervention and response capability significantly beyond the normal challenged staffing of the police department.
Taking Advantage of Relationships
Downtown Atlanta has enjoyed tremendous relationships between the public and private sector, dating back notably to the Olympic planning period, which has carried over to today. The discussion and projects involving camera surveillance in Downtown Atlanta since the 1996 Olympics went on for at least six years. The delay was primarily due to a lack of project funding and affordable technology.
After the Olympics, public agencies and private security entities - both contract and proprietary, as well as those in the corporate world - continued to engage in a mutually supporting relationship. However, we all shared a general feeling that we were not secure enough, and not doing all that we should be to provide for a safe environment.
The first challenge was to determine what we needed to accomplish our objectives. Our initial focus was the Downtown Business District, Hospitality and Hotel Industry, Convention and Special Events areas and venues, Government District (federal, state, city and county), and other high-priority venues and facilities of interest.

ATLANTA (AP) - BP and Transocean are at odds over who should get possession of a key piece of evidence in the Gulf of Mexico oil spill investigation once additional testing is complete.
Transocean, responsible for maintaining the blowout preventer that failed to stop last year's oil spill, wants the device back.
But BP told a federal magistrate judge in a letter Friday the blowout preventer shouldn't be given to one of the defendants in numerous lawsuits filed over the disaster. It says the government should safeguard it at least until the end of a trial set for February related to the lawsuits.
The government has said the blowout preventer failed because of a design flaw and a bent piece of pipe. BP, unsatisfied with the analysis, got court approval for additional testing.
