Death Toll Debate: How Many Died in the Bombing of Dresden?
The question of how many people died in the World War II Allied bombing of Dresden has been politically charged for decades. Now, a commission of historians has said the real total could be much lower than previously thought. But the debate likely won't go away.
The city of Dresden was destroyed following a vicious Allied bombing raid at the end of World War II.
The firestorm that destroyed Dresdens architectural treasures and so much of its civilian population became a byword for the horrors of modern warfare and a stain on the Allies claim to have fought a good war against Nazism. This was a truly catastrophic event to which only very big numbers seemed able to do justice.
Now, more than 60 years later, it seems we must lower our estimates. After four years work, an impressive commission of German historians this week filed its report on this issue, and it seems that even the lowest figure so far accepted may be an overestimate. Drawing on archival sources, many never previously consulted, on burial records and scientific findings -- including street-by-street archaeological investigations -- plus hundreds of eye-witness reports, the Dresden Commission of Historians for the Ascertainment of the Number of Victims of the Air Raids on the City of Dresden on 13/14 February 1945 has provisionally estimated the likely death-toll at around 18,000 and definitely no more than 25,000.
These conclusions, to be elaborated on in a full report due out next year, are convincing. However, despite the eminence of the commissions experts, including Germanys most distinguished historian of the air war, Dr. Horst Boog, they will be controversial, especially in Dresden itself. Many of those who lost families, homes and loved ones in the catastrophe have found dignity and meaning in the sheer magnitude and dark grandeur of the event, and to see the Dresden casualty figures reduced from the hundreds of thousands to more normal (though still horrendous) levels seems incredible, even insulting.
Hence the commissions establishment in 2004 was opposed by many in Dresden and its work has since been subject to political chicanery. That it has finally issued its report seems something of a miracle. And that its members have courageously and doggedly followed the logic of the evidence, knowing the unpopularity it may bring, speaks strongly for the integrity of the historians involved.
So can we say "case closed"? Almost certainly not. Many Dresdeners, understandably, cling to their memories and traditions even in the face of historical evidence. The far right will undoubtedly persist with a line of propaganda central to its aim of undermining the democratic German state and rehabilitating the Nazi past. For all these people, interpretation of the Dresden death-toll will likely remain an article of faith rather than a matter of fact.

Our testers really enjoyed this new version of the classic game featuring their favorites: Big Bird, Elmo, Abby Cadabby, etc. The colorful cards are made of sturdy, easy-to-pick up stock that will hold up to lots of rounds. Comes with 36 picture cards. As you start introducing this game to younger players, use half the pairs to begin. This kind of memory game builds readiness for matching and recall, skills needed when they start learning to read more abstract symbols like letters and words. Better to start with pictures.

We can probably all agree that LEGO was an awesome toy (unless you were the kind of kid who ate the pieces), and sure, it was plenty interactive if you wanted it to be. But as you got older and graduated to the Technic level, the last thing you wanted was your friend or your little brother "helping" you and mucking the whole project up.
Building games rely on interaction, and playing is more about the experience than the finished product, especially when you get a beautiful pink result once the party's over. Enter BLOOM, an urban toy consisting of thousands of identical little pieces specially designed to be built into a huge, fractal, flower-like bloom. Call it urban gardening—without all the dirt.
Above check out the BLOOM project in action, and below see how they designed the basic building block of BLOOM. A lot more thought goes into it than you might think!

Congressional Democrats condemn Republicans for special-interest campaigning, while pressuring GOP presidential hopefuls to disclose their top campaign donors. "The refusal to accept donations from federal lobbyists and PACs is critical to limiting the influence of special interests in the political process," Wasserman Schultz said in a recent conference call. "Unfortunately, every single Republican candidate for president today happily accepts donations from lobbyists and PACs."
Responding to the AP's analysis, DNC spokesman Alec Gerlach asserted, "Democrats have broadly supported campaign finance reform and disclosure for outside groups, while Republicans continue to oppose them."
President Obama has also been an outspoken critic of special-interest campaigning. "With its ruling today, the Supreme Court has given a green light to a new stampede of special interest money in our politics," Obama lamented, in response to a Supreme Court decision on campaign finance limits. "It is a major victory for big oil, Wall Street banks, health insurance companies and the other powerful interests that marshal their power every day in Washington to drown out the voices of everyday Americans."
The President fought his 2008 presidential campaign with a vow to end "special-interest" politics; however, according to a study earlier this summer by iWatch News, "nearly 200 of his biggest donors have landed plum government jobs and advisory posts, won federal contracts worth millions of dollars for their business interests, or attended numerous elite White House meetings and social events."
iWatch labeled Obama's generous donors "bundlers," as they bundled together large sums of cash for his 2008 campaign. iWatch's investigation was thorough and explosive:
Overall, 184 of 556, or about one-third of Obama bundlers or their spouses joined the administration in some role. But the percentages are much higher for the big-dollar bundlers. Nearly 80 percent of those who collected more than $500,000 for Obama took "key administration posts," as defined by the White House. More than half the 24 ambassador nominees who were bundlers raised $500,000.
The big bundlers had broad access to the White House for meetings with top administration officials and glitzy social events. In all, campaign bundlers and their family members account for more than 3,000 White House meetings and visits. Half of them raised $200,000 or more.
Some Obama bundlers have ties to companies that stand to gain financially from the president's policy agenda, particularly in clean energy and telecommunications, and some already have done so. Level 3 Communications, for instance, snared $13.8 million in stimulus money.
A new study by MapLight, a nonpartisan watchdog group that tracks campaign financing, found that the bipartisan "super committee" — six Democrats and six Republicans — charged to find $1.2 trillion in deficit savings, raked in nearly $65 million from special-interest groups over the past decade.
Top industry donors were lawyers and law firms, contributing more than $31.5 million. The second biggest industry gave $11.2 million, donated by individuals in the securities and investment industry. Among the top corporate donors were Microsoft ($810,000), General Electric ($340,935), and some Wall Street banks, including Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, and Bank of America (a combined $2 million in donations).
Of the two parties, the Democrats were much more profitable, racking up a total of $42.7 million in donations — twice as much as Republican members.
Topping the list is Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) — he received roughly $15.8 million in political donations from special interest PACs, largely due to his unsuccessful presidential bid in 2004, says MapLight. Following close behind is Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) with $8.3 million. Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) received $5.9 million and Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), got $5.7 million, says MapLight.
As for the other Democrat members, Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.) received $3.7 million, and Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) got $3.3 million.
The Republicans received $21.9 million in PAC money over the last decade, MapLight's analysis shows. Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.) received $4.1 million; Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) $3.7 million; Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) $3.1 million; Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) got $2.8 million; and Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) received $2.4 million.
Special-interest groups surely have their prerogatives, as do their congressional patrons. But many would question the Democrats' charge, as they vehemently condemn what that they themselves indulge in. Indeed, the numbers show that Washington fundraising is bipartisan.

Apple Under More Pressure Over Irish Tax Policies
Published on: 8th Mar 2014
Note -- this news article is more than a year old.
Apple and the Irish government are coming under pressure to explain an exceptionally low undisclosed tax rate that the computer giant is paying in the country.
According to accounts obtained by the Irish Times newspaper, Apple paid an unexplained lower rate of tax on revenues between 2004-8 which reduced its tax bill by more than USD850 million.
The Irish holding company, Apple Sales International (ASI) provides services for Apple offices around the world and between 2004-8 recorded revenues of US$29 billion and net profit of USD7.1 billion.
However, the expected tax bill on those profits of USD890 million, actually came to just USD36 million.
It is not clear how the company was able to secure such a low tax bill, as the accounts seen by the newspaper do not explain why the expected, already low rate of 12.5% was not paid.
Apple has already been criticized for setting up holding companies in Ireland to avoid paying higher sales taxes in other countries, but now appears to have found a way of avoiding the bulk of the Irish tax as well.
If Apple is paying such a minimal amount, it will raise pressure on the Irish government as it has long argued that its lower tax rates encourages investment, and generates more revenue for the government.
With Ireland coming under fire over its aggressively low tax rates from other European governments, it may have to ask if a paltry USD36 million in taxes from Apple over 4 years is worth the hassle.
At a recent US hearing into Apple's tax affairs, the company was described as being almost "stateless" in how its accounts routed money around the world to avoid paying taxes.
The stateless loophole was closed by the Irish government last October.

Arthur's Funny Money, written and illustrated by Lillian Hoban, is a story about Arthur and his younger sister Violet. Violet is learning her numbers and asks Arthur for some help figuring out a problem. He promises to help her but first needs her help to earn enough money to buy a shirt and cap for his Frisbee team. Violet offers some suggestions to earn the money, like running errands or washing cars, but Arthur doesn't like any of those ideas. Arthur decides he'll wash bikes to earn the rest of his money. However, before he can start his bike washing business he needs to buy soap and a brush. He uses the money he has to buy his supplies and then sets up his business. Some of his friends show up to get their bikes washed but some of them want deals and half prices washes because they brought their skateboard or they have a tricycle instead of a bicycle. Arthur works out some deals and washes all their bikes and other wheeled things. While he's washing, Arthur has Violet keep track of the money he makes on a piece of paper. After finishing all the bikes Arthur realizes he is out of soap so he and Violet go back to the story to buy more. When they get to the store the soap is more expensive this afternoon then it was earlier in the morning. Instead of buying it, they decide to go to another store and see if the soap might be cheaper there. On their way, they pass the sports store where Arthur needs to go to buy his shirt and cap. Violet thinks that Arthur might have enough money already to buy what he needs, so they go into the store to see. The lady behind the counter tells Arthur he needs $4.25 to buy his shirt and cap. He dumps out all his money and he and Violet check it against the list Violet recorded with all the money he made from washing bikes and he has $4.43! He buys his shirt and cap and 5 licorice twists. Violet reminds him she still needs help to solve her number problem. So Arthur demonstrates the problem with licorice twists but is upset when he realizes that after helping her solve the problem he is left with only 1 licorice twist. But Violet shares the twists evenly with him and they both eat 2 and a half licorice twists for a job well done.

Vick, currently with the Philadelphia Eagles, was accused of making prohibited transfers from the pension plan of his celebrity marketing company, MV7 LLC, from March 7, 2007, to July 7, 2008. The repayment is part of a consent judgment Vick reached with the U.S. District Court in Newport News, Virginia.
The Labor Department accused Vick of using the plan money to partially pay criminal restitution and attorney fees, according to a Labor Department news release.
Labor Department spokeswoman Gloria Della said the case did not go trial and was resolved through consensual agreements.
Under the consent judgment, Vick also will forfeit his right to benefits from the plan and be prevented, along with others associated with the plan withdrawals, from serving in a fiduciary capacity to any ERISA plan.
Vick also will pay a civil monetary penalty imposed by the Labor Department and will pay all expenses associated with closing the plan. Della said the civil monetary penalties generally equal about 20 percent of the total amount recovered.
Neither of Vick's attorneys, Paul K. Campsen and Michael Blumenthal, could be reached for comment.

SOA Governance has been shown from multiple SOA implementations to be a critical success factor in achieving service reuse and agility of SOA success. Governance is Smart SOA divides the IBM SOA Governance approach into three stages that go with the Smart SOA stages. The idea is that the level of Governance should match the level of SOA implementation. Initially clients need just a small amount of governance to support the initial SOA implementations. Later as SOA complexity increases the level of governance needs to increase.

Dr. Patrick Kyamanywa, dean of the medical faculty at the National University of Rwanda, visited Tulane last week to explore Rwanda's plan to expand its medical education, research and community care programs. Visiting the Tulane Community Health Center at Covenant House, he marveled that it is the first university-operated community clinic of its type that he has seen.
The government of Rwanda, located in east Africa, is initiating a comprehensive plan to create a high quality and sustainable health care system, particularly one that will reach 10 million Rwandans, most of whom are in rural communities.
"Through Tulane University, we've been able to write a seven-year strategic plan for the medical school — up to the year 2018 — that is a roadmap to relate with our different partners," Kyamanywa said. "We have a clear vision, clear objectives and a clear roadmap, so we are in the driver's seat."
The Rwandan government wants the quality of its graduating doctors to match that in developed countries. Rather than benchmarking progress against other African countries, Rwanda is using Singapore as a vision.
Tulane, one of Rwanda's longest-running partners in the health sector, has worked in Rwanda since 1999 through multimillion-dollar grants and contracts from the U.S. Agency for International Development, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the World Bank.
Kyamanywa visited Tulane through the university's most recent cooperative agreement with the CDC.
Rwanda has overcome great obstacles since the 1994 genocide, while meeting many of its development goals, says Nancy Mock, co-director of the Tulane Disaster Resilience Leadership Academy and associate professor of public health. She is co-principal investigator with Laura Haas of the cooperative agreement that includes Tulane faculty and staff in the Payson Center for International Development, and the schools of medicine, public health and tropical medicine, and social work.
"Tulane collaborators are honored to work with such a dedicated and talented team assembled by the Government of Rwanda to address its health problems," Mock said. "Rwanda is a very focused, disciplined and hard-working country that has set goals and achieved them."

After setting a franchise record for most points scored in their last game, the New York Liberty hope their offense can be that productive again as they begin a road-heavy stretch in their schedule.
New York looks to hand the Minnesota Lynx their sixth straight loss Tuesday when the teams meet for the second time in less than two weeks, this time at the Target Center.
The Liberty (6-5) have won five of seven this month, including a 105-72 victory over Phoenix on Sunday. New York is seventh among the league's 14 teams in scoring at 76.5 points per game and entered Sunday having scored just 69 points in a loss at Indiana.
The Liberty, though, broke out against the Mercury, hitting 11 3-pointers and shooting 54.3 percent from the field. They never trailed after taking a 13-10 lead with 4:49 remaining in the first quarter.
Six players scored in double figures, led by Tiffany Jackson, who had a career-high 21 on 8-of-8 shooting off the bench.
"We executed well and played our game and did what we wanted to," said Janel McCarville, who added 12 points for the Liberty.
New York's previous franchise high in points scored was 95 against Phoenix on June 21, 2001.
The Liberty are trying to win back-to-back games for the third time this month, but they have struggled on the road, losing three of their first four away from Madison Square Garden. Six of their next seven are on the road, where they're allowing opponents to average 80.3 points per game.
This is the second time New York and Minnesota (6-6) are facing each other this month. They met in New York on June 14, when the Liberty held on for a 77-76 victory.
Minnesota has dropped another two games since that loss to extend its skid to five following a surprising 6-1 start. The Lynx fell 72-65 Saturday at home to Houston after suffering a five-point loss the night before in Detroit.
Seimone Augustus scored 12 points and added six rebounds Saturday while Candice Wiggins scored a game-high 24 points off the bench, going 13-of-17 at the free-throw line. The Lynx shot just 27.5 percent from the field and scored only six points in the first quarter - the lowest-scoring period in franchise history.
"We were just stagnant," said Augustus, the league's fifth-leading scorer who had eight points in the fourth quarter.
Of the Lynx's six losses, three have come at home and none have been by more than nine points.
"We're not where we want to be," coach Don Zierden said. "But I told the players a few days ago we're a roll-up-our-sleeves kind of group."
The Liberty have won six straight over the Lynx. The visiting team has won 11 of the 16 meetings in the series with New York winning seven in a row at the Target Center.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 220.127.116.11
Forum Moderators: open
I cannot find any definitive advice about cross-linking. I am unhappy about the way that if you have one really big site you can make a lot of stupid pages and still get a major benefit in google but if you have different on-topic sites you cannot link them to each other in case you get the PR0. Anyway forget about that.
I have 5 nice domains for widgets in different cities.
e.g. Widgets-LA widgets-NY widgets-SF
each of the sites has different widgets a person will be interested in.
blue-widgets yellow-widgets green-widgets
at the moment i have just the index pages linked together widgets-LA -- widgets-NY -- widgets-SF
people will search on widgets-LA, blue-widgets-LA, yellow-widgets-LA (these are people from outside LA)
I had every page linked to the home pages of the other sites but I removed this because I was worried about getting PR0 for cross-linking. The problem is that I am missing out on valuable click-throughs from people who would be interested to see about widgets-NY even if they had come to blue-widgets-LA.
Many people who come to blue-widgets-LA never leave that page so never see the links to the other sites from the index page widgets-LA.
I need to know how to let people know about my other related sites without risking any google punishment.
What do you think about linking the internal pages to the relevant internal pages of the other sites? e.g. blue-widgets-LA -- blue-widgets-NY -- blue-widgets-SF From a user point of view this would be perfect because as I said some users are only interested in blue-widgets and not in yellow-widgets or the index page and would be interested in blue-widgets in the different cities rather than the green and yellow widgets in the same city.
I realise that if google accepts this then there would be a slight benefit for me but I want to do it even if there is no benefit but as long as their is no penalty. Therefore I can hide the links inside a <FORM> so google will not follow it but I would rather not do this.
Any suggestions about how exactly the penalty for cross-linking would be applied in this case would be gratefully appreciated.
From what I hear, no one actually knows if Google penalizes for cross linking. I have a similar situation...you can check out my post:
as well as these helpful threads:
Good luck!
"Surfing in California"
"Surfing in Mexico"
"Surfing in South Africa"
"Surfing in Hawaii"
"Surfing in Iraq"
What is wrong with cross linking all these sites. They're all about surfing, so should be good relevant links and of interest to the user.
I guess what the original question is asking is.. how far can you go with cross linking? Just from each index page? From every page? From a few selected pages?
While we on the subject, doesn't Google pretty much ignore multiple links from the same site anyway? So doing this for purely PR purposes doesn't work, or am I wrong? If this is the case, then surely a few links here and there would be OK. Every site should have a "surfing in other places" page that link to the other sites.
Sorry to use "surfing" and not "widgets" as an example. Don't like widgets. Nasty little things.
When a boogie boarder comes across the 'boogie boarding' page of the 'Surfing in Cali' site they are not going to look at the other pages on the site or go to the index page that would contain the links to the other 'Surfing' sites. However, they might be very interested in the 'boogie boarding' pages on the other sites. So how to let them know about this without getting penalised?
The answer has already been given ... hide the link from google ... but this seems a shame when it is relevant and on topic and if it was within the one big site would get a PR boost from it.

Why Creative Entrepreneurs Are So Insanely Dedicated To Their Ideas – With Melody McCloskey, Founder Of StyleSeat
by Tim Jahn on June 4, 2010
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
In this episode, I'm chatting with Melody McCloskey, founder of StyleSeat, a San Francisco based company that provides online tools for beauty, health, and wellness professionals to build and grow their businesses.
A special edition episode from Big Omaha
I met Melody the first night of the Big Omaha conference at the opening party. We had a great, somewhat intense debate about startups, where you should go to start one, and the differences in what Chicago and San Francisco has to offer startups.
This episode is part of a series of special edition interviews I shot while at Big Omaha. The conference is all about highlighting entrepreneurs and the amazing work they're doing in Omaha and the surrounding Midwest regions.
I highly recommend this conference and consider it the best conference I've been to all year. The speakers provided tons of value in their presentations and the event was intimate enough (they cap attendance at 500 people) to allow you to build relationships with fellow entrepreneurs and truly connect with people.
Melody McCloskey:
I'm Melody McCloskey and I started a company called StyleSeat. We want to empower beauty, health, and wellness professionals like estheticians, massage therapists, and personal trainers to really build their business.
It was a vertical that interested me because I love those types of people. Everyone has a hair stylist and many women have an esthetician. I love them as a customer base and working with them. They're creatives, expressive, fun, really good at what they do – they're artists.
And that was really appealing for me, more appealing than building financial software for example. Working with people that I respect and I'm excited about, who are entrepreneurs building their business, is really fantastic and something I really wanted to do.
Having your own company is very, very exciting. Passion definitely drives everything I do. My co-founder is also very, very passionate – we're both super insane people that just work all the time and are really excited about it. I'm just one of many crazy people in this industry.
Tim Jahn:
There are many, many crazy people.
Melody McCloskey:
Yeah, seriously, nerds! We're all nerds. Really excited nerds!
Tim Jahn:
The best kind. What drives that sort of dedication?
Melody McCloskey:
What makes me crazy? I dunno, how do you answer that? I've never really been a very engaged person my whole life. In school, I always tested very well but didn't really care enough about curriculum or studying within the confines. I was always reading all these other books that weren't the books I was supposed to be reading. I was very disengaged, a little bit bored, just not very inspired. I hadn't found that thing.
It took me a while to find something I was really good at, because I just was really bored with everything. And it's my fault for not engaging, for not finding that. But when I did find that, it was like YES! Software! I get it, I love it, I love the building process. All of a sudden a light bulb turned on.
I suddenly became this really happy person, really positive person, really excited, motivating our team all the time, talking about what we're doing to everyone, getting really excited about customers, hanging out with them all the time, getting them excited about what we're working on. It was like finding that one thing I loved pulled it out of me. It was finding that fit that did it.
Finding that one thing you're really really passionate about changes everything. I was mediocore at a lot of jobs until I started my own company and I don't think I'm terrible at it. I fail all the time, as do we all. And there's so much room for improvement. I'm so at the beginning.
But it's definitely something I'm better at then any other thing. That is exciting and empowering.
When you think about starting a company, it's a totally impossible thing to think about. I was that person where I had the idea and I knew what I wanted to build and I knew the business potential and I did all the research. But I hadn't taken that initial first step. If you think, well I'm going to start a company, that's just insane.
But when you say, ok, I'm going to incorporate. That's easy, that takes a week. You find a lawyer, write a check, and you're incorporated. Then it was like, ok, I'm going to get a designer. I focused all my time and energy on getting a designer and I got one. Then it was like, ok, I need an engineer. So I focused all my time and energy on getting an engineer.
For me, the way the process came together was that I thought about the whole process as one go and I knew the steps I needed to take and focused on each step specifically. Then it wasn't hard.
A company is organic, it's a living thing. You have an idea and it's this little seed of something. Then it's kind of this bug and you remember and think about it again and again. You're going to sleep and you're planning this idea a little more and hashing it around. You're throwing it around, showing it to friends, building upon it, and the idea gets bigger and bigger.
Sometimes that turns into something, sometimes it doesn't. Great ideas aren't a dime a dozen but they're not uncommon. Many people have hundreds or thousands of great ideas that could all be great companies. It's really about the execution. When you find something that you realize, I could actually spend five years or ten years of my life doing this, that's when it's different.
Check out all our interviews with entrepreneurs!

Pretty Little Liars
10 Scariest Scenes From Pretty Little Liars
Pretty Little Liars knows how to scare us better than most shows on TV. We blame the writers' affinity for all things Hitchcock. After all, he was The Master of Suspense. Showrunner Marlene King recently shared her picks for the 10 scariest scenes in the history of Pretty Little Liars with Cosmopolitan. So here are our picks!
Ian chases Spencer up the clock tower. The climactic ending to Season 1 did not disappoint in the horror factor. With Melissa still in the hospital following a car accident, Spencer is confronted by an angry Ian in the local church. She knows he was involved in Ali's "death." He wants to kill her to keep that knowledge secret. A scuffle up the church's bell tower ensues that almost ends in Spencer's death at Ian's hand. Instead, she is saved by a masked "friend," who pushes Ian from the clock tower instead.
The dolls are alive. One of PLL's favorite tools of creepiness is the doll, and no doll-related scene was as creepy as the time Hanna, Spencer, and Emily are trapped inside of the Brookhaven doll shop. While the girls are wandering through the seemingly empty shop, the lights go out and a doll starts chanting "Follow me, end up like me." Then, the girls open a cupboard to find a bloody doll and shovel recreating the scene of Ali's "murder." Shiver.
Emily v. "A" in the greenhouse. Emily's encounter with "A" as part of the Liars' greenhouse trap was the first time we saw "A" engage in a physical encounter with the Liars. When "A" realizes the meeting is a trap, she freaks out, pushing Emily over and escaping by smashing a hole into the greenhouse. A desperate "A" is a scary "A," and this encounter made that threat corporeal.
Hanna and the Psycho shower scene. Pretty Little Liars loves its Hitchcock references, and you better believe we were freaked out by the homage to Pyscho's famous shower scene in Season 2. While staying at the Lost Woods Resort, Hanna takes some time to clean off, and "A" sneaks in while she's in the shower. Knowing how the Psycho scene ended, we were pretty worried for Hanna, but even without any stabbing, this scene still scared the bejesus out of us.
Spencer discovers Mona is "A". The only thing scarier than not knowing who "A" is is knowing who "A" is, and the moment when Spencer realized that Mona had been the mysterious villain all along was heart-stopping. It didn't help that Spencer was trapped with Mona at the Lost Woods Resort, and that Mona had complete control of the situation. Cue the carpool from hell.
Emily realizes Nate isn't who he claims to be. Emily's realization that Nate is not who he claimed to be (Maya's cousin) was reminiscent of the Mona reveal. Emily was away from civilization with Nate when she realized he was the one who killed Maya and that he planned to kill her and Paige, too. Talk about bad timing.
Aria almost dies on the Halloween train. We're still afraid to get on a train — or go to a costume party. The Season 3 Halloween episode was a rough one for Aria, who gets trapped in a crate with Garrett's corpse, which is then almost pushed off the moving train. Lucy Hale totally sold Aria's fear in this scene, making this moment one of the scariest we've ever seen on Pretty Little Liars.
Emily heads for the table saw. Another almost-Liar death that had us gasping in horror was Emily's almost demise-by-saw when the Liars visited Ravenswood in Season 4. After getting snatched from the magician's show, Emily shows up trapped in a coffin. On a conveyer belt. Heading for an electric saw. She's saved at the last minute by Red Coat, but not before we lost a few years off of our lives.
"A" chokes Mona. Most of moments on this show happen as part of some elaborate set-up. We know the Liars are in danger when they go investigating. But the scene in which Mona gets into her car only to be nearly choked to death by "A," who was hiding in her backseat, while the Liars stand nearby came without much fanfare. The surprise in this moment — and the fact that Mona was the target — made us realize that "A" could strike anyone at anytime.
Spencer realizes she's not alone in her cabin. Never underestimate the scare potential of a good Casper impersonator. Sure, now we know the person hiding under the sheet in Spencer's cabin was Noel Kahn, but we knew no such thing when Spencer noticed that someone was sitting under a sheet on a nearby chair and watching her through an eye hole. How creepy is that? We wouldn't have blamed Spencer for stabbing with her fire poker first and asking questions later.
What do you think is the scariest PLL moment of all time? Sound off in the comments below!

Formula One's record 22 race calendar for 2014 is 'beyond the limit' for teams but looks likely to be trimmed before it becomes definitive, according to Red Bull team principal Christian Horner.
Three races on the calendar released last week have asterisks against them - South Korea, New Jersey and Mexico - and the prospects of the first two at least have been called into question.
Most teams are reluctant to go beyond 20 races, mindful of the added expense and the burden being shouldered by key staff such as engineers and race mechanics who cannot easily be rotated.
This year's championship has 19 races, with the record standing at 20.
"I think we all recognise that 22 races is beyond the limit, the strain that it puts on the team and the entourage that follow Formula One," Horner told reporters ahead of Sunday's Korean Grand Prix.
"If you are doing 22 races in economy class, flying around the world and you are going a week before the race and coming back a day or so after, it's a long, tough season.
"For me the ideal number is 20, that I think is saturation point, but I can understand why he (Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone) is pushing to get more venues."
The calendar approved by the International Automobile Federation includes a rare 'triple header' of Monaco followed by New Jersey and then Canada on successive weekends, which poses an added logistical problem.
"Of course it's feasible. But it's expensive," said Horner of that challenge. "Let's see. The calendar's changed a lot over the last few weeks and I'm sure before the end of the season there will probably be a few more tweaks to it."
Horner said New Jersey, which was meant to make its debut last year but postponed for financial reasons, was on the calendar so "we have to assume it's happening".
McLaren's Martin Whitmarsh was less convinced, however, even if all the teams want a race on the U.S. east coast.
"As I understand it, there's not much going on there," he told reporters.
Mexico has been pencilled in for the penultimate race of the season on Nov. 16 and the country's top racer, McLaren's Sergio Perez, was confident the Mexico City organisers would not let anyone down on their return after a 22-year absence.
"I spoke with (FIA race director) Charlie (Whiting) the other day and he was very optimistic. He thinks they have to do a

This film see the coming of the hurricane as seen though the eyes of a six year-old girl played by newcomer Quvenzhane Wallis. She lead his father to dry land though the flooded backdrop of the south. I also like the large buffalo that roam the land. She's the real star of this movie. Many critics had strong praise for this movie. It won the Grand Jury prize at the Sundance film festival. I think it's a good movie with good performances all around.

Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast It was discovered in the Coolnagard area on Saturday after an incident the night before in which the off-duty officer fired a shot.A number of homes were evacuated for a time as army bomb squad officers carried out investigations. Police later confirmed a "crude viable explosive device" was found.No-one was hurt during the incident on Friday night. Police said an investigation has been launched and the Ombudsman has been informed.Anyone who witnessed unusual activity in the area over the past number of months is asked to contact Co Tyrone police.A PSNI statement said: "Police would ask people, especially in the Coolnagard area of Omagh, if they saw anything that gave them cause for concern or they thought out of the ordinary over the past couple of months and specifically between 8pm and midnight on 25 January to contact police."Police are also asking if anyone saw anything that raised their concerns in the Kevlin Road area of Omagh during these times, again to contact Police. Police would like to thank local people for their patience and co-operation during this security alert."Information can be passed on by calling 0845 600 8000.Meanwhile local politicians have condemned the incident.Thomas Buchanan of the DUP described it as a worrying time for the PSNI officer, especially as the threat from dissident republican terrorists was severe.Sinn Féin's Declan McAleer said: "Coolnagard is a very quiet residential area of the town where people from all sections of the community live side by side and where community relations are very good."The investigation is still ongoing so I await further details from the PSNI as to the exact nature of the events which unfolded here on Friday night."PSNI officer escapes death as bomb hurled into his home in Omagh fails to explode.

I've two questions, one is concerning price, I've got a chance to get a new (from the store) clincher front track HED 3 for $680, does it seem like a good deal or is the normal price?
The second question is if this front wheel is good for sprint races. I've read some old threads from this subforum saying that they aren't the stiffest out there but are very aero, that made me wonder if I should pass on this deal and wait for a used corima 4 spoke to pop on ebay..

Let's face it, the Bruins can not beat the top teams this year. Only one win versus Montreal ans 3 losses against Pgh. Good thing they haven't played the Western Conference - I can imagine how they would have done against Chicago and Anaheim!
There's just no fight left in this dog. And I don't mean just dropping the gloves. I mean straight out intensity to check hard, beat the other team to the puck, win the battles in the corner, and score more than 2 goals a game.

Re: Just re-watched Cleve vs Bellew. I find it impossible not to give Bellew 6 round
I'm a massive Bellew fan, I scored this fight for Bellew on the night.
I've re-watched it since and now I scored it a draw (114 - 114, six each). That I think is the correct score.
To be honest if somebody wanted to score it for Cleverly then I couldn't complain, it was that close. Only a score of 115 - 114 though, anything more than that for either of them is just plain wrong.
For Cleverly, his dad and FW to bang on about him "outclassing" Bellew is laughable quite frankly, Tony outboxed and out-smarted Nathan him for long periods during the fight and he probably would have won had he not gassed out in the later rounds.
I hope these two have a rematch at some point in the future because not only would it be a great watch but it would also settle the score. The way Cleverly's going though, expect him to keep fighting bum of the month for a long time.

Playcraft - Easton Air Hockey Table with Retractable LED Scorer in 7' or 8'
The Playcraft Easton Air Hockey table combines classic, clean arcade styling with advanced scoring technology. The table features an electronic, retractable scorer that raises into place for easy viewing when powered on for play and lowers flush with the side rail when the table is powered down. This feature makes the Easton a perfect match for the optional ping pong conversion top. The soft touch main power panel uses large, easy to read symbols to control the main power, the industrial grade blower, sound levels and length of game. The panel leg assemblies make the table extremely stable and the 4 individual leg levelers can level out most uneven floors. The play surface uses over 3,500 holes to distribute the air to all areas of the table while the aluminum side boards provide fast, explosive hockey action. Playing equipment includes 2 x 3" pucks for speed, 2 x 3.25" pucks for a more stable arcade style game and 2 strikers.

Cloth Pads for An African Orphanage
Posted on 31. May, 2010 by Trish in Crafts
I recently came across a post on a forum by someone who was asking for advice for how to make cloth pads for an orphanage in Africa. Her friend was adopting 2 girls from there and none of the girls had any sanitary supplies. There were 30 girls, so the gal was going to try to make 200 cloth pads for them, also known as Mama Cloth.
Well, next thing we know, everyone is volunteering to help out and we had over 200 pads promised, and more coming in, so we decided to try for 400 pads to help another orphanage! They also needed underwear and wetbags to keep the dirty pads in.
It was amazing to see the generosity of everyone involved. I decided to try my hand at making some and got 10 done fairly quickly. I had never made them before, but they were pretty simple. Here are the 10 I made up.
For some reason the post was removed on the forum and people wanted someplace to keep track of the progress, so I volunteered my blog here for that purpose. I don't have all the original information of how many have been promised or the link to the pattern a lot of people were using, but I will try to update this post as I get more information. To all those who were originally participating, feel free to leave a comment with any questions or to let us know your progress. You can leave the link to your pictures in your comments so everyone can take a look at your wonderful creations!

I got the "misunderstanding" worked out and the mods reinstated the thread!
Thanks so much for giving everyone a place to get together off-site! Your pads are beautiful!
31. May, 2010
I will be finishing the 20 pads I promised and mailing them Wednesday. I have 6 more to do. I will try to do more tomorrow but we shall see how cooperative my kiddos are. =]
So how many wetbags are left to do now? Undies? What was determined that we would do for the panties? Send PP to the original poster?
BTW…thanks for lending your blog!

Ok, so I have sewn 50 bottoms and 50 tops. I am going to turn them and pin them to eachother tonight. I stil have another 50 to do, hopefully will get them done tomorrow.
31. May, 2010
I have some wet bags I can donate, but I am not sure they'd get there in time, since I live in Canada. Is the June 10th deadline concrete? Shipping usually takes 2-3 weeks at best.
31. May, 2010
I dont know what is still needed. I am not a pad maker but I can give it try if someone can enlighten me on the sizes needed and such. I have some heavy weight fleece and flannel that I can use. I understand they didn't want PUL pads but are PUL wet bags ok? I have some scrap I might beable to get 1 or 2 bags out of it. Also if anyone needs snaps done they can send pads to me. Or if your local to me (pittsburgh area) I can meet with you and do some snapping. Also does anyone know if they need supplies to wash with. I am a Rockin' Green retialier and could maybe see about sending some soap. It is quite heavy and costly to ship so I don't know if that is an option.
31. May, 2010
I actually ended up making 26 INSTEAD of 10 I kept cutting until i ran out of supplies……will go to snap person tues….should recieve by the 10th.

Krause, Décio and Arenhart, Jonas R. B. (2010) Structures and Models of Scientific Theories: A Discussion on Quantum Non-Individuality. [Preprint]
Download (460Kb) | Preview
In this paper we consider the notions of structure and models within the semantic approach to theories. To highlight the role of the mathematics used to build the structures which will be taken as the models of theories, we review the notion of mathematical structure and of the models of scientific theories. Then, we analyse a case-study and argue that if a certain metaphysical view of quantum objects is adopted, namely, that which sees them as non-individuals, then there would be strong reasons to ask for a different mathematical framework for describing the structures that would be the models of the corresponding theory. In departing from the standard frameworks (that is, worked on within standard mathematics), we hope to bring to the scene, within the scope of the semantic approach, the importance of paying attention to some fundamental concepts usually only superficially touched by philosophers of science (if touched).
