To the editor:
Here is my Christmas wish list from the city and the N.C. Department of Transportation.
I�d like to give kudos to the NCDOT for the decision to make three left-turn lanes from Western Boulevard onto Lejeune Boulevard/N.C. 24. It has improved traffic flow tremendously and you don�t have the backups to Brynn Marr quite as often.
Merry Christmas!

C hoosing the right hardware and software platform for industrial and control applications is a challenge that every design engineer has to face. Industrial applications need to incorporate integrated hardware and software; offer a short time to market; and be highly reliable, powerful and flexible, low cost, and easy to maintain and upgrade. For nearly three decades, the PLC has been the automation solution of choice for industrial control engineers. Familiar and reliable, the PLC has evolved to incorporate analogue I/O, network communication, and new programming standards. A strong demand for simple low-cost PLCs has spurred the growth of the low-cost PLC market, but has also created a discontinuity in controller technology. Most PLCs are designed to provide solutions for straightforward control applications. However, the PLC has not traditionally delivered viable solutions for applications that require higher loop rates, advanced control algorithms, more analogue capabilities, and better integration with an enterprise network.
On the other hand, the PC provides software capabilities for advanced tasks, offers a graphical, rich development and user environment, and uses commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components. The PC also delivers unparalleled flexibility, highly productive software, and advanced low-cost hardware. However, PCs are not ideal for control applications. Although they are still used when incorporating advanced functionality such as analogue control & simulation, database connectivity, web-based functionality, and communication with third-party devices, the PCs fail in one key industrial aspect: standard PCs are not designed for rugged environment. This lack of rugged design presents three challenges for PCs in industrial settings – stability, reliability, and a complex and unfamiliar programming environment.
Hybrid solutions
The industrial PC sector has expanded and improved in recent years, but the PC is still a challenging platform for industrial automation applications. Although some engineers use these latest systems with more rugged hardware and special operating systems, they face the task of piecing together a system that has the reliability of a PLC and the added functionality the PC provides.
These hybrid systems, while offering a solution to the design problem, add multiple-vendor hardware and software integration issues as well as the difficulties that come from the inevitable maintenance and system upgrades.
The PAC
With no clear PC or PLC solution, engineers who have implemented such hybrid systems have worked closely with control vendors to help develop a new class of industrial controllers. The resulting new controllers, designed to address the needs of architecturally complex applications, combine the best PLC features with the best PC features. Industry analysts at ARC named these devices programmable automation controllers (PAC). In its 'Programmable logic controllers worldwide outlook' study, ARC identified five main PAC characteristics. These criteria characterise the functionality of the controller by defining the software capabilities, which include:Multi-domain functionality - at least two of logic, motion, PID control, drives, and process on a single platformSingle multidiscipline development platform incorporating common tagging and a single database for access to all parameters and functionsSoftware tools that allow the design by process flow across several machines or process units, together with IEC61131-3, user guidance, and data managementOpen, modular architectures that mirror industry applications from machine layouts in factories to unit operations in process plantsEmploy de facto standards for network interfaces, languages, etc, such as TCPIP, OPC & XML, and SQL queries. Communication with enterprise networks is critical for modern control systems
The software and hardware
Because software is the defining difference between PACs, the first step for PAC vendors is to provide reliability and determinism, which are often not available in a general-purpose operating system such as Windows. This is accomplished through real-time operating systems (RTOS) such as Phar Lap from Ardence (formerly Venturcom) or VxWorks from Wind River. An RTOS provides the capability to control all aspects of the control system, from the I/O read and write rates to the priority of individual threads spawned on the controller. These vendors then add abstractions and I/O read/write structures to make it simpler for engineers to build reliable control applications. The result is flexible software suited for custom control, data logging, and communication.
Although PACs represent the latest in programmable controllers, the future for PACs hinges on the incorporation of embedded technologies that offer the ability for the design engineer to use software to define hardware. This is accomplished by adding field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) to PAC hardware. Adding FPGAs to the PAC picture places intelligence in COTS devices, providing flexibility, power, and the ability for proprietary hardware to be completely reconfigured to meet specific application demands. In many cases, this completely eliminates the need to design custom hardware or to break out the soldering iron each time a change to the system functionality is necessary.
PAC rules!
The PLC is still a very effective solution for general-purpose control and I/O. The PC, which can fill many gaps the PLC is not able to cover, is a viable solution that addresses environmental challenges and stability issues. However the PAC, due to its flexibility, power, and reliable hardware and software, is quickly becoming the ultimate solution for complex industrial control applications. Add an FPGA to the picture, and the argument for using PACs in even the simpler industrial control applications becomes a strong one as well.

Does "old-person" smell really exist?
BY Katherine Scott body+soul
Discover which age group's odour has been deemed the most unpleasant.
According to a recent study, there may be some truth behind the popular perception that the elderly produce a distinct aroma, though their bouquet is apparently not the most unpleasant of the different age categories.
The study by Johan Lundström of Monell Chemical Senses Center, which appeared May 30 in PLoS ONE, involved blindfolded participants being asked to sniff sweat-soaked armpit pads and distinguish between different odours, and occasionally relate them back to specific age categories. The results showed that participants were able to recognise the difference between the smells of different age categories, but while the elderly smell proved to be the most recognisable, the middle-aged and the young were more difficult to verify.
The findings suggest that we have retained our ability to determine someone's age based on their odour alone, in the same way that animals recognise the smell of the sick and dying. This is thought to be due to the changes in chemical composition to our bodies as we age.
"I think it's true that old people smell a certain way," Lundström says, "but the idea that the smell is negative may largely be social stigma."
So which age category scored the worst in the odour stakes? This honour went to the middle-aged man musk, which rated highest in both intensity and unpleasantness. The most-pleasant title was taken out by middle-aged women category, while the elderly men smell actually rated the least intense.
Do you agree with the results? Which age group do you think smells the best or the worst?

After the release of its Jan. 13 report and recommendations (February, page 48), the Task Force for ELCA Studies on Sexuality met Feb. 18-20 in Chicago to discuss its second task: developing a social statement on human sexuality. The group was charged by the ELCA Church Council with issuing a draft of the statement by January 2006, in time for consideration by the 2007 Churchwide Assembly.
Expressing concern about the timeline, the task force asked the ELCA Church Council and Division for Church in Society board for a delay. In discussion, task force chair and New England Synod Bishop Margaret Payne asked if this was still "the group to see this through.... There's a weariness among us now because of the work done on the report.... I don't know if the whole church will understand how much work we've poured into the report and recommendations or that [under the current plan] we really don't have two years, but five months, to do a social statement on sexuality."
Varied responses
"I would like to see us finish the work we started," said task force member Susan Salomone, Syracuse, N.Y.
Diane Yeager, Arlington, Va., said, "It's up to the Church Council whether they want us to continue on past 2007. A list could be submitted of which task force members want to continue."

Despite the continuing success of Blu-ray, many pessimists continue to nit-pick Sony's every move and comment as proof that they are not fully committed to the high definition platform anymore.
However, Sony CEO Sir Howard Stringer recently made a few comments about Blu-ray in which the media totally had a field day with. It was turned around to make it seem like Sony is losing focus and confidence in the format.
Well to clear things up, Stringer has spoken up once again touting the success of Blu-ray, in an attempt to prove that Sony is totally behind the format and will be for a long time. His comments are as followed:
"We believe Blu-ray has the best picture, more particularly the best security, the best capacity for future improvements and the amount of content we generate. And this last week we sold more hardware than HD-DVD, the total number of Blu-ray capable devices in the US is at 2.7 million in the US compared to 750,000 HD-DVD. We're selling software 2:1 on titles in the US, 3:1 in Europe, and Blu-ray recorders here in Japan stand at 98% of the market."
Later when asked if he would take the stance and say that Blul-ray is the definitive winner, Stringer followed back with:
"I wouldn't anticipate, we have momentum given the numbers I told you on the 2:1 software ratio in US and 3:1 in Europe and beyond. But that's all we have at the moment, is momentum. When you put those numbers together, PS3 is a...if you buy a PS3 for games, you get a Blu-ray player. We've always said that would help."
He says that all they have at the moment is momentum. So what happens when that momentum runs out? It still appears as if Sony is beating around the bush when it comes to Blu-ray at times, but sooner or a later, hopefully a more stronger stance would be taken, thus allowing others to follow.

Best Fruits For Weight LossAn individual's weight is determined by many different factors including genetics, dietary habits, exercise habits and the natural rate of metabolism for the individual. Metabolism is the process where food is converted into energy. This process produces energy that is required by the human body for the various tasks performed by it. When we consume food, the nutritious part of it is used for energy while some of it may be stored as fat. The type of food being consumed by an individual is very important as this is one of the determining factors in the health of the individual.
Some of the best foods for weight loss include fruits and vegetables as they have a low calorific value. The best fruits for weight loss are the ones that have a high fiber and high water content as this helps to keep you satiated for prolonged periods. So which fruits are good for weight loss?
One of the best fruits for weight loss is the apple. Apples should be consumed with their skin intact. The skin provides plenty of fiber while the fruit itself contains pectin, a substance that suppresses the diet. This means that the individual will feel full while consuming a single fruit. You can also make a fruit platter with the best fruits for weight loss as this is the perfect snack in between meal times and it is both tasty and nourishing. Most individuals lose control over their food intake when they consume snack foods. Snack foods are the biggest culprits when it comes to poor quality nutrition. You can make a list of the best fruits and vegetables for weight loss and include them in your daily meals to help control problems with excessive weight gain.
Fruits are naturally preferred sources of nutrition because they contain many different nutrients and plenty of natural fiber. Modern diets are usually unhealthy because the diets are made up of processed foods. These foods have high quantities of certain nutrients but may be lacking in other important nutrition. It is therefore important to first analyze the diet being consumed by an individual before any changes are made with the aim of losing weight. Once the diet has been analyzed, one can remove the foods that are most obviously bad for the health of the individual. These foods can be replaced by fruits which will provide nutrition while eliminating some of the bad products that are found in the unhealthy diet. Fruits may also help with weight loss from a different perspective. When one consumes a fruit, it may satisfy the appetite. This leads to a reduction of other foods that would normally be consumed. This automatically leads to weight loss as well as an improvement in the quality of an individual's health. Generally speaking, fruits that contain plenty of dietary fiber are good for weight loss. Fiber allows food to move through the digestive system smoothly. This means that there is less time for the nutrition and fat from the food to be absorbed into the system. This improved movement of food in the digestive system also helps with improved bowel movements.
Among best fruits for weight loss, one finds the kiwi fruit. This fruit helps with weight loss because it has soluble fiber in it. Soluble fiber absorbs a lot of the broken down nutrition in the digestive system and this is passed out of the body as fecal matter. The consumption of increased quantities of soluble fiber will lead to reduced absorption of food and thus will help with weight loss. It should be noted that these fruits do not starve the body of nutrition; they only improve the efficiency of the digestive process. You can also ask your doctor for information regarding good fruits for weight loss.Read useful information on best foods to lose weight
Best Fruits For Weight LossWeight loss with fruits is one of the most important and effective ways which is natural & has no side effects. In fact, fruits are good for preventing & controlling many disorders apart form weight loss. Some fruits enable the burning of calories at a faster rate but eating just about any fruit may not give beneficial results. Fruits provide the correct form of nutrition without harming your body. But you must be aware if you are allergic to certain kinds of fruits.Eating at least 5 to 6 helpings of fruits is very effective for weight control & weight loss. The more fruit you eat, the faster will be the weight control & the sooner your body will start to burn calories & shed some weight. Fruits are a rich source of protein which our body requires for good nutrition. Guava has been found to b the best food in terms of nutrition. Other fruits that you can eat on a daily basis are apples, apricots, carrots, dates, cranberries, bananas, figs, mangoes, watermelons, olives, papayas, peaches & pomegranate. It is best to have fruits plain & without adding any dressing or syrup to them. You can cut these fruits in big chunks & eat toss them to make fruit salad. Eat them regularly & you will start to feel the difference. Fruits contain fibers, some more than the others. They are very filling & provide carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals & enzymes.Peach also plays an important role in losing wreight. The health benefits of peaches inlcudes weight loss as they are a good source of water and dietary fibre. Hence the consumption of peach as part of a weight loss diet is beneficial as dietary fibre makes an individual feel full and satiated for a prolonged period of time thereby resulting in them not overeating. Its recommended to include peach in everyday diet.

The U.S. swept to four golds in a 35-minute span Wednesday at the London Olympics.
The U.S. swept to four golds in a 35-minute span Wednesday at the London Olympics. Along with two silvers and two bronzes in those four events, that propelled the Americans atop the total medals count ahead of China.
Allyson Felix finally got gold in the women's 200 meters. Then Aries Merritt won the men's 110 hurdles. Brittney Reese then placed first in the women's long jump, and Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh Jennings completed the gold-medal burst by winning their third straight beach volleyball title.
Felix beat Jamaica's Veronica Campbell-Brown in the 200, finally winning a much-anticipated gold in her signature event.
"It's been a long road," said Felix, who finished in 21.88. "I never wanted to give up. It's been a long journey — never easy — but you can't lose sight of your dream."

Felix has three world championships on her résumé but had been waiting for an Olympic gold medal. She has an estimated net worth of $8.5 million, but Gatorade, Visa, AT&T, and Nike, among others, signed her to deals more for her good looks, her self-proclaimed "nice-girl" image and her potential than what she had done on track's biggest stage. Now she has the medal to back it up.
The 27-year-old Merritt led a 1-2 finish for the U.S. in the 110 hurdles, winning in 12.92 seconds. World champion Jason Richardson was second in 13.04.
Merritt thought his Olympic moment would come in Beijing in 2008, but his grandmother died before the U.S. trials and he carried the heartbreak with him. Making things worse, he pulled a hamstring and missed months of training. He finished fourth in those Games.
"If you're not emotionally stable, you're not going to (win)," he said.
The Americans, who won a disappointing 23 medals in track in Beijing and had a goal of 30 for London, now have 20 with 18 finals remaining.
"America has the 'Moves Like Jagger' in track and field," Richardson said, in reference to a popular Maroon 5 song. "China has diving, but we definitely have track and field."

• Brad Walker, a University of Washington graduate and a resident of Mountlake Terrace, advanced to the final round in the men's pole vault. Walker's best height of 5.6 meters tied for third in Wednesday's qualifying rounds. The finals are Friday.
• Former Washington State runner Bernard Lagat finished his qualifying heat in the men's 5,000 meters at 13 minutes, 15.45 seconds and advanced to Saturday's final. The U.S. will have 10,000 silver medalist Galen Rupp, Lagat and Lopez Lomong in the 5,000, the first time since 1932 the U.S. will have three finalists in the event. "My coach told me to be prepared that this race is going to be fast, and indeed it was fast," Lagat said.
• Two medals in the decathlon are a distinct possibility for the U.S. World record holder Ashton Eaton (out of the University of Oregon) leads at the halfway point with 4,661 points, and Trey Hardee is second at 4,441.

At Limmud conference in city of Uzhgorod, one can listen to lecture about God during Holocaust or search for Jewish bride in lobby. What brings young Ukrainians, who have suddenly found Jewish roots, study Torah as part of Limmud FSU program?

First of all, I don't speak Ukrainian and most Ukrainians don't speak English. In addition, I was deterred by other cultural differences: In the morning, for example, the locals have a habit of eating buckwheat and sausages (!) And if that wasn't enough, about a week before the conference, Prof. Leon Friefeld of the University of Lviv was murdered in an anti-Semitic incident.
A friend from the Israeli Embassy in Kiev eased my fears and mentioned three things that she believed would protect me during the visit: God, wearing a hat over my skullcap, and the fact that even at my advanced age – when I am chased by Cossacks I can run pretty fast.
Chaim Chesler, a former Jewish Agency treasurer, founded Limmud FSU in 2005 in a bid to strengthen the Jewish awareness of Jews and offspring of Jews in former USSR countries.
"In addition, there is no mediating factor here," he explains. "There are no organizations sending their members, and registration is exclusively online. Each participant has a dividend inside this huge enterprise, and there is not a single person who does not pay, including the lecturers and volunteers."
Limmud's Chief Operating Officer Roman Kogan says the organization allows young people, especially those aged 20-40, to "design the framework for their Jewish life, and do it out of passion, because everyone does it voluntarily and in accordance with their needs and areas of interest.
"The activities don't just include lectures on Judaism and culture, but also drawing, dancing, yoga and other leisure activities, and if someone prefers to sit in the lobby, talk or sing with friends – that is perfectly fine too as far as we are concerned," he says.
A conversation with the conference participants reveals a fascinating mosaic of men and women, mostly young but also older people who have discovered the conference in recent years. A small number of the participants are religious, and there are many others who only have Jewish roots – a Jewish father or grandfather, but are interested in connecting with the Jewish people.
As opposed to the haredi Kershenbaum, who speaks Hebrew fluently with a heavy accent, Larissa Popovskaya speaks to me in English. She is 24, single, is studying for a master's degree in communications at the Kyiv School of Economics, and this is the sixth time she volunteers at the Limmud conference.
When I ask her if she ever considered immigrating to Israel, she says: "I find it important to marry a Jew, but my parents don't want me to immigrate to Israel because they think it's a country of wars. Every year my desire to live in Ukraine grows weaker, but I'm not sure I want to be a cashier at Mega Ba'Ir (Israeli supermarket chain)."
One of the people who arrived at the conference in Uzhgorod for the first time is Leon Feigelman, 25, of Kiryat Bialik, whose family made aliyah years ago from the Soviet Union. His mother owns a pharmacy, and he came back here to study pharmaceutics.
Indeed, the Limmud conference may also include introductory meetings to examine a proper match. Last month, for example, a young man and woman who volunteered in Limmud in Moscow were married in Jerusalem. They discovered not only the beauty of Judaism, but each other as well.
Amazingly, just one day before flying to Uzhgorod, I discovered that my parental grandmother was born in this city 92 years ago. Most of her relatives were murdered in the Holocaust, due to the cooperation between the Nazis and their Ukrainian aides.

The Italenergia website notes that the "new Edison" is Italenergia's principal asset.
At May 2003, Italenergia BIS' other shareholders are: Banca Capitalia
(14,2 %), IMI Investimenti (12,5 %), Intesa (10,7 %), Tassara Group (20 %).
Fiat-led consortium, also including EDF, set up in July 2001 with the purpose of taking over Montedison and particularly Edison SpA and its electricity generation assets.
Italenergia was 40% owned by Fiat, 18% owned by Edf and 20% owned by the Italian finance company Carlo Tassara, allied to Edf. Another 20% was jointly owned by Italian banks Roma, Sanpaolo-Imi and IntesaBci.
As of 2 July 2001, Italenergia controlled over 48% of Montedison and was about to bid for 100% of the shares. Fiat said it would transfer all its energy assets to Italenergia, aiming to reach a total generation capacity of 14,000 MW following completion of the take-over.

Stage mom
A female King Lear, with music. The stage mother from hell. That would be Mama Rose, the dominant figure in the classic Broadway musical "Gypsy." A frustrated performer herself, Rose drags her kids into show biz and coerces daughter Gypsy to become a stripper. The complex, juicy role is based on the even more colorful Rose Thompson Hovick, the real mother of Seattle-born performer-writer Gypsy Rose Lee. Played by Ethel Merman, Rosalind Russell and many other stars of note, Rose is now being eyed by Barbra Streisand for a film version. (Seattle Musical Theatre's production of "Gypsy" runs through May 19; 206-363-2809 or www.seattlemusicaltheatre.org).

Terrifying mom
Colleen Donaghy
Over seven seasons of "30 Rock," Jack Donaghy's domineering (to put it mildly) mother, Colleen — played with razor-sharp wit by Elaine Stritch — appeared in only eight episodes. And yet, she owned the show. Whether showing off her hat collection, accusing her son of "pouring Scotch like a woman" (what does that even mean?) or causing him to exclaim, "Mother, there are terrorist cells that are more nurturing than you," she held "30 Rock" in the palm of her hand — right up until her gloriously funny final episode in Season 7 (out on DVD this week). Happy Mother's Day, Colleen. And yes, we know that coat isn't going to take itself off.

Marge Simpson
Come on, now: Is there any better mother than Marge Simpson? She is not just mother to Bart, Lisa, Maggie and — let's face it — Homer. She is America's Mother, our cartoon conscience, the one who can wrap up 22 minutes of madness with the perfect gem to remember, while holding her azure smokestack of hair high. And if that isn't enough, she drives a pink station wagon. May she spend the day away from her family, and under the influence of her awful sisters, drinking and smoking and watching "McGyver" reruns. (The inspiration for Marge, "Simpsons" creator Matt Groening's mom, Margaret Groening, who grew up in Everett, died in April at age 94.)

I am an independent architect whose goal is to help you achieve your design goals.
Since 2009, I have been a successful entrepreneur in Sarasota and Manatee counties. Before I started my own company, I spent five years as the in-house designer and estimator for a custom design/build remodeling company in Bradenton, Florida. The position allowed me to work deeply in the construction process, form great relationships with clients and take on responsibilities outside the traditional practice of architecture.
Over the years, I have designed and administered a number of public and private large scale projects. My experience is also rooted in a Master of Architecture degree from the University of Washington in Seattle and a Bachelor of Design in Architecture from the University of Florida.
Currently, I serve on the Board of Directors of the Gulf Coast Chapter of the United States Green Building Council. I was honored with Branch Member of the Year awards in 2014, 2013, and 2010, and served as Chairman on Sarasota County's Development Services Advisory Committee in 2012.

Gov. Rick Scott lashed out Wednesday at President Obama, saying it is up to the White House to resolve the congressional deadlock over looming budget cuts that could slash millions of dollars from Florida's economy.
A week ago, Scott antagonized many supporters within his own Republican Party for embracing Medicaid expansion, which Obama envisioned as a key component of the Affordable Care Act. But Scott this week has been apparently trying to bolster his conservative bonafides – with the budget cuts called sequestration emerging as his latest platform.
"If your administration fails to do its job to responsibly managed the budget, thousands of Floridians will lose their jobs under sequestration," Scott said Wednesday in a letter to the president. The italics are Scott's own.
"There is no doubt that budget cuts must be made at the national level, just as we do here at the state level," Scott added. "But it is the responsibility of the administration to administer spending reductions responsibly. Instead of cutting with a scalpel, your sequestration process is a meat cleaver."
In 2011, as part of a last-minute agreement to avoid defaulting on the nation's debt for the first time, Congress and the White House formed a bipartisan committee to develop a comprehensive plan to cut how much money the nation owes.
The deal included a clause that essentially said that if that committee could not reach a deal, the government would face $85 billion in arbitrary and painful cuts to both domestic and defense programs this year.
The White House has said that if another budget deal is not reached by Friday, about 750 teachers and aides could be laid off in Florida; 31,000 Department of Defense workers would be furloughed; 1,600 children would lose their place in day care; and thousands fewer will receive vaccinations.
Airport delays linked to a reduction in federal personnel also is forecast as hitting the Sunshine State hard.
White House officials said Wednesday that Obama has invited congressional leadership to a meeting Friday, after the cuts have gone into effect. The tactic suggests the administration does not expect much action from a deadlocked Congress before then.
Scott has been under fire within conservative ranks after dropping his long opposition to Medicaid expansion. But Wednesday's letter prodding Obama comes only a day after Scott lashed out when a federal appeals court upheld a lower court ban on a 2011 law requiring drug-testing of state welfare recipients.
Losing for a second time in court only seemed to raise Scott's conservative hackles. After the ruling, Scott said Tuesday he he intends to take the fight to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Here is Scott's letter to: President Obama

UK Law
Get UK Law Questions Answered by Verified Experts
Thanks for your question. Please kindly RATE my answer when you are satisfied
What was the original reason the claim was allocated to fast track please - was the claim issued prior to the increase in the small claims limits to £10K or are the special circumstances - e.g. it is a sex discrimination claim?
The claim was issued on 7.2.13 - it is not a sexual discrimination claim. In their Allocation Questionnaire the Claimant's Solicitor states:
'This claim was issued on 7 February 3013 prior to 1 April 2013. Therefore we are unsure whether it will now be allocated to the small claims track or the fast following the increase in the small claims track limited from £5k to £10k. We await the court's decision.'
We had asked for small claims
The case has yet to reach Court
Sorry for the delay in reverting to you. I have been rescuing out door furniture from high winds.
The small claims limit as you are aware came into force in April of this year increasing from £5K to £10K. The is no provision for the increase to apply retrospectively and if the claim was issued prior to April it is allocated and determined in accordance with the previous rules which provide for a fast track allocation.
It is difficult to see on what basis under the pre April rules you could argue that the claim should be allocated to the SCC unless you can apply for part of their claim to be struck out on the basis of no merit and hence reduce the claim to under £5K.
However the fast track by no means allows for unlimited costs to be claimed. The fast track is designed to dispense with claims relative swiftly and cost effectively and therefore contains fixed costs that the court can award according to a costs table which provide that for a claim between £3K and £10K the maximum costs that can be awarded subject as follows is £690.
There is provision for the court to award an additional £345 if the lawyer attends the hearing as well as reasonable expenses of the parties, e.g. parking fees and so on.
The judge has some additional discretion to award further costs if he considers that either party has behaved unreasonably but there is no provision for sky high costs in the fast track. You can read the costs rules for fast track here if you would like to read them chapter and verse:http://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules/civil/rules/part45-fixed-costs#sectionVI
Is there anything above I can clarify for you?
That's BRILLIANT thank you Joshua thank you - have been securing the garden myself too!
One final point - does the above costs limits exclude or include Court fees? I.e can the Claimant recover these on top of the permitted costs?
Oh and...
Am I right in thinking that because we are defending ourselves, that we are unable to claim for example our time in preparing for and attending Court? I.e. what are the CPR rules relating to this?
The above figures exclude court application fees
If you can prove loss of income as a consequence of your preparing for the trial the judge has the power to award costs in this respect if you make an application for costs and request this. You will need to be able to prove your loss of income that you seek to claim for on tha balance of probability.
Is there anything above I can clarify or assist you with any further?
Thanks Joshua - that's really helpful!

Inappropriate photo? Alert us.
CANBY, OREGON--February 22, 2013--Willamette Egg Farms, Oregon's biggest and oldest egg producer, is expanding its cage-free operations, building two new cage-free hen houses that will hold 20,000 hens each. Nationally, cage-free production was 5.7 percent of the total as of March 2012, according to the American Egg Board. "I have to expect it will continue to grow," said Greg Satrum, co-owner of Willamette Egg Farms with his father, Gordon (pictured), and the third generation to run the company.

I've heard that some cyclists shave their legs, not for aerodynamics, but because hairy legs could exacerbate road rash injuries. Is this true? Anyone have first hand experience of this?
I've heard that some cyclists shave their legs, not for aerodynamics, but because hairy legs could exacerbate road rash injuries. Is this true? Anyone have first hand experience of this?
I feel more like I do now than when I first got here.
Got to agree with Ba-Dg-Er on this one. Plus my wife likes it now too!:blush:
Don't shave your legs! Really. You're asking for trouble!
I have to warn all of you about one seldom talked about danger of shaving your legs...
In the early 1980s, I was in my mid twenties, buff & toned, and a fast enough cyclist to stand a chance in local races. Naturally, to gain acceptance from the Bike Powers That Be, (or Were) I made sure that my legs were as smooth as those of the girls at the Cheetah III.
Trouble is, I got to really liking the ritual... you know, buying women's skin-care products, sinking into a hot bath and shaving, the cremes and lotions... I began to shave my armpits, just for the heck of it. I kept my facial stubble all-but-invisible.
One day, I came across a stash of makeup leftover from an ex-girlfriend who had halfway moved in. A little eyeliner to bring out my eyes, just a tiny bit of lip gloss for the Bardot look...
Somebody, somewhere, should be saying "uh oh..."
Before too long, I was wearing silk panties under my Nashbar eight-panel shorts, and I occasionally ordered plus sizes from the women's clothing section of the bike catalogs.
Since I had an extremely masculine hairline... as in: already balding at age 24... I waited until Halloween and bought a really nice "Cher" wig from the Sally Beauty Supply Company. Nobody though it was weird... they just figured that I had a costume party to go to.
The ruse was complete. By 1983 I was a full fledged transvestite biker. I'd go on mixed rides sponsored by LBSs in full bikerette drag, and I answered to "Lydia." The guys would all hit on me, the girls looked at me as if I was from some other planet.
It gets worse. I'd dress out in transvestite biker casual clothes and wander into bike shops. Bike wrenches, known for their lack of respect from the opposite sex, would fall all over this muscular young lady who came it to check out this years' machines. None of the guys ever suspected... James, you know who you are!
I began thinking... "Hey, I'm short and thinly built... I'll bet I could pass as a 'she' in a bike race. Hmmmm, I could compete as a woman, and smoke the real ones. This was probably the only way I was ever gonna win a race.
I entered, I competed, I won. And won. And won. By 1987, I had a rep as a seriously fast and powerful biker, who just might be a ****... nobody knew for sure. Then one day on a hilly stage of a race in the Blue Ridge, it happenned... I crashed. Bad. CPR on the scene, life support in the ambulance, multiple surgeries at the hospital.
And every cyclist in four states found out that I was a man. Reputation: torpedoed & sunk. Race career: way beyond over.
Legal problems became serious... It seems that misrepresentation of gender for financial gain is a federal crime.
It took the intervention of the Federal Witness Protection Program (God bless those guys!) and my agreement to turn state's evidence on a huge transvestite & transsexual sports racket... to get me clear of all this trouble. I changed my name, grew a beard, let my leg, chest, back, and 'pit hair grow out... and kept a very low profile.
For years, I didn't dare ride a bike, but I gradually grew brave enough to sneak out at dawn or dusk. Today, I ride dilletante-style comfort bikes, with toe clip pedals and rear parcel racks. I dress macho, too... black & white vans, baggy shorts, and tank tops that show off all that body hair. I make sure that everyone sees that I'm bald.
I ride in the shadows, on the fringe of society, careful not to draw any attention to who I was or what I did. "Lydia" is long gone, and I am nothing without her.
What have you been smokin???
Recumbents rock!
This happens whenever I get near a computer early in the morning, after half a pot of stand-a-spoon-in-it coffee. My mind takes a concept and runs with it, I hold on for dear life.
You should see my business-related correspondance.
My bead on life has just dissolved.
Stumon, I seem vaguely to remember a 60 Minutes story on your adventure, the Witness Protection angle and all. Undercover reporting in part of it, with Mike Wallace posing as a champion racer...
On leave of absence as of March 13, 2002. Contact by email.
Stumon, is your story a joke? or for real?
I confess. I suffer F.O.S. syndrome. Sometimes the pressure gets so great that I have to vent it here on this forum.
In truth, I did shave my legs once to psyche out other racers, but my then-girlfriend threatened to stop shaving hers... so I didn't do that again.
I wear mens' clothing, have an abundance of body hair, and look as ridiculous in a dress as Al Pacino might. Jay Davidson I am not.
"Lydia" was an alternate screen name that I used for a while on AoL. I used her to mess with my friends, back in the days before every AoL user got hundreds of unsolicited erotic e-mailings.
<<< Winky here should cue everybody that I was, once more, FOS.
PS... Even silk panties under bike shorts will give you some nasty saddle sores.

Everytime I drag my knee and elbow/arm for about 10 feet on asphalt, the asphalt tends to remove most of the hair in that area.Originally posted by Ba-Dg-Er
Imagine getting hit by a car and dragging your knee and elbow/arm for about 10 feet on asphalt. Now imagine how much easier it is to clean, put ointment on, and place and remove bandages from an area with no hair. The above situation is why I know shave my arms and my legs. It works, and it's alot better then dealing with hair.

That was a first rate story. I read it Friday night and just read it again. It is just as funny the second time. Maybe you should write for Harlequin (sp??) Romance novels to support your bicycling habit.
On a related subject, yesterday I drove my wife to a baby shower for the daughter of one of her co-workers. The town is about 2 hours from home. Naturally the men didn't want to sit around with the women and look at baby things so we all went outside. I didn't want to sit around and talk about golf, fishing, hunting, or Georgia football, so I changed clothes and took off on my bike for an hour or so.
When I got back my wife asked everyone (men and women) if they noticed my shaved legs. All the women made comments about the muscles and some were a little embarrassing. The mother-to-be felt my legs and said she had more hair on her legs than I had on mine. :blush:
One of the men felt my legs and told my wife it was a good thing she was there, cause if she wasn't he'd hit on me big time.
I hope he was teasing. :confused:
Stumon, maybe you can give me a few ideas for the next baby shower.

I heard a lot of chatter last season when Vikings star running back went down with an ACL injury that he would never be the same player again. After all, this was a pretty devastating injury to a guy who relies on explosion as much as he does. Having to basically have his knee completely reconstructed, some even predicted he wouldn't even be ready to go when the 2012 season started. If early results are any indication, everyone has been wrong about all of their predictions.
In just eight games, coming off of an injury that usually requires about a year to recover from fully, Adrian Peterson finds himself leading the league in rushing for a team no one expected much out of this season. And a big reason for their performance this year has to do with Peterson putting the offense on his back and carrying them. Thus, allowing the young Christian Ponder to develop without getting pounded by a relentless pass rush.
So while the Vikings might not be the threat to even make some playoff noise this year, their future is clearly bright. Especially with Peterson showing no ill-effects of his time off or with his recovery.
With another 123 yards on just 15 carries last night against the Bucs, Peterson passed Robert Smith for the all-time franchise record for 100 yard rushing games. On the play that put him over the top, he put a move on Ronde Barber that almost made his sneakers fall off en route to a highlight reel 67 yard touchdown run. Sure, the Vikes were down 20 points at the time and they ultimately lost the game against Tampa, we can't forget that this team is rebuilding and has already won more games that most any expert expected them to pick up this year.
At 775 yards and 4 touchdowns through eight games, Peterson leads Arian Foster for the NFL lead by 116 yards, but having one more game played than the Texans. Still, this is nothing short of amazing. He's eclipsed the 100 yard mark three times this year and probably would have more if the Vikings weren't being so cautious and easing him back into the game. His workload has been pretty light this season, averaging just under 19 carries per game. This is down slightly from his career average, but as time progresses, I'm sure they'll start to give him more carries. But, at the moment, he isn't showing that he needs it.
Before the season started, any Vikings fan would have been ecstatic if they had been told that Peterson would break the 1,000 yard mark on the ground this season. And he now looks like he could crack that before the Vikings even hit their bye, the week before Thanksgiving.
It has to be a sigh of relief to fans, fantasy owners, coaches and Peterson himself. Some guys suffer this kind of injury and they become the next Ki-Jana Carter. But Peterson looks to have rehabbed correctly, as his burst in the open field hasn't slowed down one bit. He's on course for his fifth pro bowl in six seasons and is still only 27 years old. Him still seeming to have plenty of game left is a treat for fans everywhere, as he is just flat out fun to watch.
As this team rebuilds, it appears they're doing it the right way and it won't take as long as some other franchises out there have done. To see Peterson in some big time games again is something I can't wait to see. And if he continues to play like this, it'll be sooner rather than later.

Tron: Legacy's New Lightcycle Battle Banner
By Josh Tyler 2010-03-10 14:32:13 comments
Weve just gotten our hands on a new lightcycle themed banner for Tron: Legacy. This time, its a battle. The blue lightcycle and the yellow lightcycle seen solo in the previous two banners are fighting it out. My moneys on blue.
Cool as this is, Im hoping Disney gives some love to the old school lightcycle too. If you watch the trailer closely youll see this, a classic Tron lightcycle with closed canopy. Can we get that on a banner too? Probably not.
Check out the new Tron: Legacy banner below. Click it for high-res.
Update! Disney has also just unveiled a first look at the Tronorail! They're redecorating their park monorails in honor of the new movie. More details and high-res images at our sister site GFR.

It's clear that South Korean director Hong Sang-soo knows a thing or two about human relationships, of longings, self-delusions, attitudinal dead ends, and, once in a very miraculous while, he has a revelation or insight suggesting a new way to conduct them. On the basis of six heralded films, including 2004's "Woman Is the Future of Man" (his only one before "Woman on the Beach" to have gained distribution in the U.S.) Hong has been labeled an Asian Rohmer. At first glance he seems to have learned lessons directly from the French master in how to tell conversation-heavy, behavior-observant stories by means of an "economic" visual grammar, which in Hong's case includes long, patient single takes punctuated here and there by zooms or intrusive (and sometimes incongruously light) soundtrack music.
But Hong's worldview is remarkably distinct. Constructively cynical and optimistically disillusioned, he maintains an unclouded perspective on the expedient reasons underlying human interactions, particularly those of his stunted male characters, who, blessed with artistic intelligence but lacking in emotional maturity, are some of the most real to be seen on current art-house screens. Hong points out the sometimes laughable, sometimes pathetic motivations of his male protagonists (and, possibly, alter-egos) while unpreachingly suggesting their improvement, and this by achieving a rare balance in tone -- treating his characters with a sympathy that never sinks into sentimentality and with a strictness that avoids easy judgment.
Hong's latest, "Woman on the Beach," even possesses a levity that makes it easy to see why it's being sold as a romantic comedy, though its humor isn't exactly of the wocka-wocka variety. The laughter it generates is actually rather solemn, since for every convention of the rom-com Hong tries out he adds his own brand of melancholy -- the film's structure is, after all, influenced by that epochal psychosexual tragedy, "Vertigo." In the first half, film director Kim Joong-rae (Kim Seung-woo) takes a trip out to one of Korea's west coast beaches to write a new screenplay with friend and production designer Chang-wook (Kim Tae-woo) and Chang-wook's girlfriend, Moon-sook (Ko Hyun-joung), in tow. Once there Joong-rae and Moon-sook start conspicuously flirting, tip-toeing around Chang-wook and eventually spending an evening together in bed. But Joong-rae chickens out from any sort of commitment and soon returns to Seoul.
That's when the film performs its Hitchcockian act (possible spoilers): Joong-rae comes back to the beach and, running across Sun-hee (Song Sun-mi), a woman who resembles Moon-sook (though not really--they're just both tall), he once again employs his work as a director for purposes of seduction, interviewing Sun-hee as part of his "research" for his next film in order to establish contact. Moon-sook comes back into Joong-rae's life and eventually discovers the two have been together, but instead of bedroom farce, with three warring variables creating endless permutations of hilarity, Hong takes his time by setting up a series of one-on-one encounters, each more exhaustingly personal and revealing than the next.
What's revealed is that Joong-rae is, like so many of us, a confused, contradictory being, unapologetically scheming for pursuit of pleasure but unable to overcome revulsion at the thought of Moon-sook's past affair with a "foreigner": he draws diagrams demonstrating his theory of overcoming the "images imprinted on us by others" and yet he repeats the same mistakes caused, in part, by a dominating obsession with his own imprinted images. This portrait of Joong-rae and male deception (toward himself as well as those around him) is poignantly on target. If Hong overthinks his complex but straightforward material by occasionally adorning it with incongruous flourishes (e.g., the final scene of a car stuck on the beach that's supposed to symbolize Moon-sook's liberty from Joong-rae's deceit), he can be excused (truth is truth even if awkwardly presented). "Woman on the Beach" is mostly graceful in conception and completely true in character.

If you are having a vintage, 1920's era wedding or party theme, you are likely getting some of your ideas from The Great Gatsby novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald or Baz Luhrmann's movie by the same name. It's "the American dream" story, following the life and times of millionaire Jay Gatsby during the height of the roaring 1920's. It was a glamorous time, and marked a turning point for women, which can explain the popularity of this theme. Glamour is beautiful and fun, especially for a party.To stay true to the Great Gatsby theme, there are a few hairstyles and accessories that allow you to complete the Art Deco style ensemble with polished elegance.
Silver screen actresses such as Louise Brooks and Clara Bow exemplified the allure and romance of this period with their short bobs and silk scarves. Let's take a look at some more inspiration that will bring us back to the Prohibition days (without re-living the actual Prohibition).
The Short Bob
The most iconic hairstyle for this era was the bob haircut. If you already have short hair, and are willing to commit to this style, it is definitely the hair style that most people associate with the 1920's. The bob can be worn structured and straight or soft and wavy, with the finish just below the ears.
Bob Hairstyle Side Note: During the 1920's, women began wearing this style to create a more boyish look, and abandon old rules of femininity. It has been called one of the most revolutionary hair-styles in history for women, symbolizing independence and strength equal to men. Today, I believe it still signifies a dramatic change inside some women, to leave behind some of their past, along with their hair.
Finger Waves
The 1920's finger waves were ultra-chic and were worn to soften the blunt, bob hairstyles. It's ideal for curly hair, but still versatile enough to work with many hair types. There are two ways to create finger waves, one involves wet styling and the other involves a curling iron. Each have a different look, so it's just a matter of preference.
Finger waves can be worn on longer hair as well, though it will take a little more time complete the look.
If you'd like to learn how to do it yourself, you can check out this great How-To Finger-Wave video!
Jeweled Headbands
In the 1920's, headbands were flashy and chic, made from beautiful materials such as rhinestone and lace. There were many versions, and they were worn different ways, but mostly horizontally across the head rather than on top of it.
The Cloche Hat or Cloche Veil
The cloche hat was at its peak of popularity in the 1920's. It is a fitted, bell-shaped hat that is usually made of felt. It has become relevant again due to the hit television show "Downtown Abbey", where the upper class women have a sophisticated approach to fashion.
Cloches were also made of beads and lace, and could be decorated with appliqués, jeweled brooches and feathers for evening wear or bridal wear.
The Chignon
This charming hairstyle is romantic, and flatters any woman's face. It's fairly easily created and the understated elegance of the side bun balances an intricate dress, making it perfect for weddings or formal parties.
The difference between a plain bun and a chignon is that a chignon is loose around the ears instead of being pulled tight against the scalp. Hence the name "chignon," which comes from the French phrase "chignon du cou," which means nape of the neck.
These glamorous hairstyles are all so beautiful, you may decide to re-create some of these looks on a daily basis. Depending on your every day job or outings, you may even pull off the sparkly, rhinestone headband… just channel your inner Hollywood screen legend and walk confidently, there's nothing wrong with feeling like a star.

BCS warns playoff system threat to bowl games
WASHINGTON Tackling an issue sure to rouse sports fans, lawmakers pressed college football officials Friday on switching the Bowl Championship Series to a playoff, with one Texas Republican calling the current system as unworkable as communism and joking it should be labeled "BS," not "BCS."
John Swofford, the coordinator of the BCS, rejected the idea of switching to a playoff, arguing it would threaten the existence of celebrated bowl games. Sponsorships and TV revenue that now go to bowl games would instead be spent on playoff games, "meaning that it will be very difficult for any bowl, including the current BCS bowls, which are among the oldest and most established in the game's history, to survive," Swofford said.
Rep. Joe Barton of Texas, who has introduced legislation that would prevent the NCAA from labeling a game a national championship unless it's the outcome of a playoff system, said that efforts to tinker with the BCS were bound to fail.
"It's like communism," he said at the House Energy and Commerce Committee's commerce, trade and consumer protection subcommittee hearing. "You can't fix it."
Barton, the top Republican on the committee, quipped that the BCS should drop the "C" from its name because it doesn't represent a true championship.
"Call it the 'BS' system," he said to laughter.
Under the BCS, some conferences get automatic bids to participate while others do not. Conferences that get an automatic bid – the ACC, Big East, Big 12, Big Ten, Pac-10 and SEC – get about $18 million each, far more than the non-conference schools. Swofford is also commissioner of the ACC.
"How is this fair?" asked the subcommittee chairman, Democratic Rep. Bobby Rush of Illinois, who has co-sponsored Barton's bill. "How can we justify this system ... are the big guys getting together and shutting out the little guys?"
"I think it is fair, because it represents the marketplace," Swofford responded.
Craig Thompson, commissioner of the Mountain West Commission, which does not get an automatic bid, called the money distribution system "grossly inequitable."
The MWC has proposed a playoff system and hired a Washington firm to lobby Congress for changes to the BCS, which currently features a championship game between the two top teams in the BCS standings, based on two polls and six computer ratings.
The MWC proposes, among others things, scrapping the BCS standings and creating a 12-member committee to pick which teams receive at-large bids, and to select and seed the eight teams chosen for the playoff. The BCS has previously discussed, and dismissed, the idea of using a selection committee.
The four current BCS games – the Sugar, Orange, Rose and Fiesta bowls – would host the four first-round playoff games under the proposal. Thompson has argued that a playoff system would be a boon for those bowls, because they would help determine the national champion.
Gene Bleymaier, athletic director at Boise State University, noted that his school's football team went undefeated several times, yet never got a chance to play for the national championship under the BCS.
"The BCS system not only restricts access but essentially precludes schools from playing in the national championship," he said.
Asked by Rush whether Congress should intervene, Bleymaier responded, "The only way this is going to change is with help from the outside."
The BCS is in its final season of a four-year deal with the Fox network. A new four-year deal with ESPN, worth $125 million per year, begins with the 2011 bowl games. That deal was negotiated using the current BCS format. While ESPN has said it would not stand in the way if the BCS wanted to change, the new deal allows the BCS to put off making major changes until the 2014 season.

Logitech mouse and CS
I have configured my Logitech mouse to expand and contract photos in Photoshop CS on a new Imac. The upper left corner locks in place and the photo expands toward the lower right. How can I set it to expand in all directions from the center?
