I haven't yet seen a catch-all for Champions, so as a fan I thought I'd kick something off. It's marketting is very low profile at the moment, so I wouldn't be surprised if no ones heard about it. A very quick overview;
- A new super hero game made by Cryptic Studios, published by Atari.
- It's an MMO.
- It will be released initially on PC, followed by a 360 release (the aim is for both platforms to play together).
- Available as a digital download from 1st September 2009.
Now some features to get you interested.
- A next generation character creation. All geometry can have different "materials" set for them; leather look power armour? Chrome chest? They can also have bump mapping applied over the texture. An insane bonkers number of options.
- Travel powers from level 5.
- Rocket boots. 5 press mechanic; one press, hover mode, second press, flight; the remaining are speeds up. Go too fast too quickly and the boots can blow!
- Flight. Change effect; so Human Torch like flight etc. Hold to charge for a strong launch from the ground (crouch and leap!). Drop from altitude for a PBAE knock back!
- Ice Slide.
- Swinging
- Super Jump.
- Super Speed.
- Tunnelling.
- Teleportation.
- More! (see Nexus's FAQ below).
- Side kicking and Mentoring is back. That lets you play with your friends regardless of level and still have challenge / reward! Yay, an MMO where you can play with friends!
- One world server (instanced zones). No more getting the wrong server, or meeting someone who also plays CO... only to find out they have a level 40 on another server. We can all meet up, regardless of locale. Social gaming FTW!
- Power selection; no classes. There are a wide selection of thematic power sets (lightning, fire, ice, sorcery, darkness, supernatural, power armour, gadgetry, might, various martial arts etc). You can choose any power from any set to make up your character.
- Customise your powers. Where they come from (hands, chest, head, weapon), their hue and more with power replacers (crafter or found items).
- PVP that makes sense.
- Team vs Team Hero League tournaments, with ladders and rewards!
- One on one brawler arena.
- "Apocalypse Scenarios" as hero training. Large scenarios with a theme; the one at ship will be a scenario where heroes have been imprisoned by a rise of supervillains (one team need to escape from a prison, the other team has to stop them).
- Loot from kills; everything from short term buffs to new items you can equip (show or not show, its up to you).
I won't bore you further, but Nexus on the official forums has done a great FAQ if you want to know more.
I was tempted to gush excessively upon seeing this catch-all, but as someone who played City of Heroes and Villians from launch day until I got tired of what NC Soft was doing with the game, I'm going to spare you good people...
...I'm TEMPTED to link all manner of garbage and relate detailed accounts of my first true MMO "love" and what went wrong with it, and why all my hopes are now heaped upon this game like so many forgotten TaxiBots broken on the ruins of what remains on the Infinity and Virtue servers...
But I shall restrain myself to the following:
I am very, very excited about this game.
I will see you in Millennium City on launch day, venerable GWJers.
*inhuman squeal of glee and anticipation*
I am also tentatively looking forward to this title.
That is all.
Can't proper "cough" from the blackberry. But in the MMO section you will find threads on this game.
Oooh! My first
Edit: Ya know, I finally get a first cough at 7:25 in the morning and someone beats me to it. I really thought I hit a new level here, just to get to the top, go to plant my "DeThroned flag" and get kicked back down.
Oh well
Your's is real while mine is a half ass attempt.

When the 2012 schedule was released, the Virginia Tech vs. Pittsburgh game looked like an enticing one, but the teams appear to be heading in opposite directions. The Hokies (2-0) travel to face the Panthers (0-2) on Saturday at Heinz Field. Here is your stock watch for who's up and down heading into the game on both sides.
The former Harrisonburg star found the end zone for the first time as a Hokie on Saturday against Austin Peay with a two-yard run to open the game, before adding another score in the second half. He hasn't been the exclusive back, especially on Saturday as seven players carried the ball in all, but he has proven to be a solid up the middle, churning out yards.
Holmes doesn't appear to be a big-play guy but his nine carries for 40 yards and two scores on Saturday see his stock rising steadily as the season progresses. We know that Virginia Tech football is run-based, and even with Logan Thomas at quarterback, expect Holmes' workload to increase.
The junior star saw his stock drop last week with a less-than-stellar performance against Georgia Tech, but on Saturday he was quality through the air, completing 15 of 23 passes for 212 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. Last year at this time, he had one interception and was just over 40 percent on his completions through two games.
The game against the Governors was his first recording negative rushing yardage, but he isn't a back, he is in there to throw a ball and while he hasn't done the greatest of jobs, he hasn't thrown a pick. Cutting down the turnovers is only going to make it easier on the whole team, and as a veteran leader, he is doing what he needs to do.
Graham is considered the star of Pittsburgh, but did you know that he has never run for over 1,000 yards in a season with the soon-to-be ACC institution?
A small back, Graham has the ability to do damage on the ground or as a receiver out of the backfield, and after an uneventful performance in the season-opening loss to Youngstown State, he bounced back with 103 yards on 19 carries, adding 51 yards off four catches. He hasn't been able to find the end zone though, which has been an issue for the team. Expect the back to get plenty of touches on Saturday as his workload has increased, as well as his production.
With the Hokies performing at a fairly high level, it's a bit hard to find any negatives. Coleman has been very good so far, but his opening fumble on Saturday hurts. He has the ability to make big, big plays, and I'm sure many Virginia Tech fans want to see him get more looks.
Coleman had six carries on Saturday, and I expect his workload to double this week, with some plays targeted to him out of the backfield. Not many people are as hard on themselves as Coleman, so I expect him to rebound from the fumble big time at Heinz Field.
Through two games, the team has allowed 463 yards rushing and in the 34-10 loss to Cincinnati, the Bearcats averaged 8.4 yards per carry. The lineman have failed to get penetration and holes have been opened up to the point where I could run through them.
The pass rush has also been poor as the defensive backs have gotten torched. Through two games, the team does not have one interception, and we know who gets the fault for the lack of pressure. If the defensive issues don't get fixed, it could be a long, long game.
Known as an offensive guru from his time at his alma mater, Wisconsin, the 46-year-old has gotten off to a horrendous start with just 27 points to show for two games. His job is not on the line, but it could be if his team continues to squander opportunities.
The schedule won't get much easier with No. 19 Louisville, No. 20 Notre Dame and tough trips to UConn, Syracuse and South Florida before the season ends. Saturday is the perfect chance to get the season back on track.

OAKLAND — Maurice Barrow did not believe he would be convicted of first-degree murder for killing a 46-year-old man and injuring a 7-year-old during a shooting last year.
So, when a jury of seven men and five women found that Barrow was responsible for the killing, and convicted the 28-year-old of first-degree murder, he wasn't happy.
Barrow had to be restrained and removed from the courtroom Tuesday afternoon after he jumped from his seat and began yelling at the jury.
The jury found that Barrow was one of three men who fired at least 55 bullets toward a drug house on the 700 block of Sycamore Street in West Oakland. The shooting was sparked, a prosecutor theorized, after Barrow was forced to move his drug selling operation off the block.
Barrow was removed from the courtroom before hearing that he was also found guilty of two attempted murders, two assaults with a semi-automatic firearm and being a felon in possession of a gun.
As a result, Barrow will most likely spend the rest of his life in prison when he is sentenced on Nov. 22.
Though Barrow and his two accomplices created a war zone on the residential street, they failed to kill their targets. Instead, the three shooters killed Otis Lee Key, 46, and injured a 7-year-old.
The trio also injured the self-described bouncer of the drug house who testified during the trial and identified Barrow as one of the shooters.
Deputy district attorney Georgia Santos also used a surveillance video that recorded the three men walking toward the drug house. Although the shooting is not captured in the video, it provided the jury with images of three men walking toward the house and then running from it.
A key aspect of that video was a man that Santos said was Barrow who appeared to have an injured right arm. Three days before the shooting on Sycamore Street, Barrow was shot in the right arm in an unrelated incident.
"Our office is very pleased that the jury found Maurice Barrow guilty of all the charges," Santos said. "This was a senseless and violent crime."
David Kelvin, Barrow's defense attorney, said the jury convicted the wrong man.
"They convicted an innocent man," Kelvin said. "That's justice?"
Kelvin argued during the trial that the identification of his client was not truthful because it came from a convicted drug dealer who received a deal from federal authorities after he agreed to cooperate with Oakland police.
Kelvin also gave the jury phone records to a phone that, while not in Barrow's name, was the cell phone he used. Those records show the phone in use in Vallejo at the time of the shooting.
Santos, however, argued there was no evidence that could prove Barrow was with the phone and said that Barrow likely had a friend use the phone in Vallejo at the time of the shooting to create an alibi.
Danny Thong, another man suspected to be part of the trio and who was charged with murder, had his case dismissed after a judge ruled there was not enough evidence to proceed.
A third suspect has never been found.

Lucia Looks at the Industry: Feb. 23
I know yesterday was full of news on the Vita, but today I have a whole line-up of new announcements for you. Read on:
3DS might see a new "Zelda" game
Nintendo's Eiji Aonuma, the director and producer of several "Zelda" games, sent out a message to 3DS owners saying, "Hello, this is Aonuma, Nintendo's "Legend of Zelda" producer. Did you enjoy "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D"? Thanks to everyone, the "Legend of Zelda" series had a very happy 25th anniversary. I hope you're looking forward to new "Legend of Zelda" games."
According to Kotaku, "Nintendo has not yet officially announced any new Legend of Zelda games for 3DS, but it's reasonable to assume that at least one is planned for the near future." Kotaku also mentions that Aonuma has interest in bringing "The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask" to the 3DS.
"Mass Effect 3" box surprise
Bioware's marketing director David Silverman created an unboxing video for the space copies of "Mass Effect 3" yesterday. You can watch the unboxing video on YouTube by clicking here. The most unique thing about this unboxing video was the reversible cover art. The inside of the box contains the same information as the retail cover, but with a female version of Shepard on the front.
New trailer of "Borderlands 2" reveals details
The most important of the revealed details in the new "Borderlands 2" trailer is the September 18 release date (for the U.S). Check out the trailer on YouTube by clicking here for more of the cell-shaded action you know you loved from the first game.
New "Metal Gear Solid" game in the mix
As IGN found, Kojima Productions is posting on a GDC Career Page to find engineers, artists or game creators for "the latest "Metal Gear Solid" targeted for high-end consoles and PC" as well as "engineers to help develop next-gen game engine technology for use with the FOX Engine."
Those hired would either work in Japan or California. According to GameSpot, "US. Kojima Productions producer Ken-ichiro Imaizumi tweeted that the company is planning to open a studio in California, "If we can find the right people.""
Fun video
Can't get enough of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim"? Neither can these guys. This rock remix of "Skyrim's" Dragonborn theme rocks the arrow right out of my knee. If you liked that, check out this metal version of the song as well.

|Tuesday Tools & Products: Tuteurs
|Written by Heleigh Bostwick Tuesday, 05 July 2016
A tuteur, from the French tutor or trainer, is a vertical structure used to train young plants, vines, or can simply be used as a garden accent. Tuteurs are one of several structural components used in the garden that also include trellises, obelisks, arbors, and pergolas. Victorian gardeners were particularly fond of such elements, but theres no reason why you cant use them with any garden style--including modern.
Tuteurs are typically pyramidal in shape and made of wood, willow, or a metal like copper. You can buy them pre-made or try your hand at building a tuteur yourself. If you really want to be sustainable and rustic about it, make one from recycled metal or tree branches. You can have one or several in different heights and styles. Some have fancy finials, while others might have birdhouses perched on top or a decorative sculpture. If you are fortunate to have a garden conservatory in or adjacent to your home, you can even place a few tuteurs in your indoor garden space.
Tuteurs are not just for flowering vines like clematis or ornamental climbers like roses either, you can also use them for vegetables (beans and peas anyone?). One thing to keep in mind is that you might need to prune your plant more often than usual to prevent it from overwhelming (and eventually covering up) the tuteur.

This 1965 Mustang K-code GT Fastback is nicely finished in its original Ivy Green over black pony interior. The car was built in San Jose, California on April 15th, 1965 and was originally delivered at a dealership in Los Angeles for sale.
The Mustang was restored 8-10 years ago and, although it shows some signs of use, would make a terrific high-condition driver, local show car, or a shoe-in for a concourse level refinishing. The Pony interior is in great condition and although the car has a clearly restored interior otherwise, the Pony seat cover look to be excellent originals which is a nice touch of nostalgia.
In terms of GT decoding, there are a lot of different areas that can help to authenticate a car as having been born a GT. Factory GT options included front disc brakes with a single bowl master cylinder which this car has. The radiator support in GT cars had two punched holes for the fog lamp wiring, which are similarly correct on this 1965. The car has the correct gauges with the correct factory dash cut-out for proper GT gauge fitment. Because of their dual exhaust systems, factory GT cars also had extra exhaust brackets and a reinforced plate under the rear seat, also correct on this Mustang.
The engine currently in the car is not the original unit, which is fairly typical of many of these high-revving K motors, but has many of the features of a correct K-code replacement. The motor is a 1966 production 289 equipped with an era-correct 1966 Ford dual carburetor manifold sporting double Holleys. The heads are the correct "20" K-code units and the distributor is also correct for a K-code engine. The engine runs out very strong and really rips at the top end. Power runs back through the 4-speed top loader transmission and the stout 9" rear end.
For the enthusiast looking for a very rare Pony car, this 1965 Mustang K-Code GT fastback would make an excellent addition to any collection.

Really thought I was making a mistake by reducing the size of some of my Paintings, but now I am delighted! Loose can work at a smaller scale, as long as you remember to switch to a slightly smaller brush! (Duh!)
Not everyone has the space for a large painting (once you add a mount and frame) This painting of a Road over Dartmoor is 10" x 7" which makes a modest but nice size when mounted.

" Genre: Action & Shooter / Video Game for Xbox 360 / Published by Konami / Release date: 2012-03-30 / Subcategory: /Adventure "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Silent Hill games have been right up there in my all time favourite games and Silent hill Downpour has to go down as one of the best Silent hill games around. Silent Hill Downpour is a survival horror game and is the 8th installment in the Silent Hill franchise. Silent Hill Downpour was developed by Vatra Games and published by Konami and is available for the PS3 and Xbox 360 only. Silent Hill Downpour has had some very cruel reviews in my opinion and Silent Hill Downpour in my eyes has FINALLY reached the quality that Silent Hill 2 proved out to be. The story is fantastic and in the game you finally get to explore the whole of the misty and mysterious town of Silent Hill. The game centers around puzzle solving more than combat which I think makes the game much more thrilling. Also Downpour is the first Silent Hill game to heavily involve water hense the name Downpour and I also think this is an added bonus to the game.
You are Murphy Pendleton a convict in the Ryall State Corrections Facility who was convicted for several years after being caught stealing a police cruiser. Murphy agrees a deal with George Sewell who works as an officer inside the prison. Sewell secretly helps Murphy set up an inmate in the shower in which Murphy beats to death with a pipe and stabs him with a knife for a reason unknown till later in the game. Murphy and a few of his fellow inmates are transfer to Wayside Maximum Security Prison after a riot breaks out but as they are being transported to the new facility the bus crashes just outside of Silent Hill after the road just vanished into thin air. Murphy awakens near the crashed bus with nobody else around him and he sets off, he finally reaches a gas station after a little walk which in turn leads him to the hell that is Silent Hill. Now Murphy must find a way out of the misty and mysterious town that is full of fear and torment. Is there a way out of Silent Hill for Murphy?
There is only one game mode in Silent Hill Downpour which is the story mode but I think that's much better because any online mode would of meant a much shorter story mode. When starting the game you will notice that the camera is just like any other Silent Hill game and set in a third person perspective which does make the game more enjoyable in my eyes. You basically get a book where Murphy will put everything he finds such as paper with clues, documents and even maps into it so you can access it at anytime. Murphy will walk cautiously but by pressing a button he can run for what seems a very long time without even getting tired but in this Silent Hill its actually usually a good idea to run when in combat rather than fight. Murphy visits a lot of places such as the town and parts in the town which include a bank, police station, church and many more and most of the places are of decent size so there is a lot to explore.
Most of the towns doors cant be opened but its always best to check because there are a few doors that lead to new places and can always have some very valuable items in them. However when you're in a big place for exploring such as the police station then you will notice that almost every door can be opened and explored. Previous Silent Hill games had doors galore but would never open and you found yourself clicking on every door with no chance of it opening. The places you explore are much more detailed now and give the feeling that Silent Hill is back to its best like in Silent Hill 2. The game is actually quite suspenseful and creepy at times which Silent Hill is best known for. It also has those moments that make you jump and make you feel that your heart is in your mouth. I myself have jumped several times with this game and I just keep getting lured into it more and more its really exciting.
There are a lot of new bits to this Silent Hill which include new enemies, new story and new environments to explore. The combat isn't the best but its much more realistic than any other survival horror game because now your weapons can break and weapons are found in relatively sensible places and for example in an older Silent Hill game you would find a gun on a park bench but not in this game because the guns are much harder to find. I found the shotgun in a locked room in a shop and I found a pistol in a locked drawer. Also weapons such as sticks, wrenches, axes and more can be found and used but all have different durability. Axes are one of my favs because not only do they deal a nice amount of damage but they can actually be used to hack away at boarded up areas and doors for more exploring and to continue the game.
Something else that is new to Silent Hill Downpour is side quests. There are lots of side quests in the game that can reward really well and earn achievements and more, definitely worth doing. The puzzles in the game are varied because at the beginning of the game you can choose what difficulty you would like the puzzles to be with easy, normal and hard. Items tend to be in different places and further away on a harder setting so that leads to even more exploring. There are 3 or 4 huge different areas of town to explore with lots of side quests and more. I also love the rain and other storms that the game has because if you're outside whilst its pouring down with rain then you better hurry and get inside whilst it stops because that's when all the monsters come out to play. The streets are full of them when its raining so be warned. Lots of different enemies and some exciting new bosses.
There is no Pyramid Head in this Silent Hill but there is someone equally as bad if not worse. There is a little bit of backtracking in the game but nothing to make it bad and the backtracking for once is actually really enjoyable. The game does have a bit of a frame rate issue and is a little glitchy in places but nothing dreadfully bad. Silent Hill Downpour is phenomenal overall and to make things more interesting there are tons of items scattered all over the place from health packs, key items, money, coins, artifacts and more. Silent Hill Downpour is a thrilling and exciting new game that really should get more credit.
Silent Hill Downpour graphics are superb in my opinion and this is by far the best looking Silent Hill game. One thing that impressed me the most was the weather effects the game has because its phenomenal. The rain and thunderstorms in particular look absolutely stunning. I was also extremely impressed with the look of the town and how well its designed to detail. I wasn't too impressed with the main protagonist of the game because he just seems really plain looking and very similar to some of the previous characters such as the main protagonist from Silent Hill 4 The Room. Enemies are really good and most are very well designed but the best thing is they're all new monsters which makes the game even better, although its a shame the famous nurses aren't on it as well as Pyramid Head. Overall the game looks stunning with a few glitches the only real problem.
The sound effects are probably part of the reason the game is actually very creepy at times. The music is by someone entirely different from previous games and has been completely changed but it really does work and seems to keep you more on edge through the game. Its a very different type of music but definitely works well. Something that impressed me a lot was the way the game tried making things worse with the freaky sound effects such as screams and creaks when you're walking and other bits like clanging and banging because it sounded really good but at the same time quite frightening. The characters voices are very good as well and sound like a proper Silent Hill game. Overall the sound effects are definitely a highlight of the game and stand out tremendously.
Silent Hill Downpour can be a very difficult game but it depends on what difficulty setting you have the game on for each thing. There are two options which are puzzle difficulty and game difficulty which can be altered to suit your gaming style. I tend to have both on hardest setting because it makes it a proper battle for survival this way. Having puzzle difficulty on easy makes the game far too easy in my view because you don't have far to go to get items and other bits. Game difficulty varies and the easier you have it the easier the combat is and it alters how many monsters will attack etc etc. The game varies from easy to hard on each but because the game offers alternative endings and secret endings you will find you might need to go through the game numerous times.
The length of the game is quite good in my opinion and the main reason for this is because the Silent Hill games have great replay value and it never gets boring however many times you playthrough the game. One playthrough on easy might only last around 10 hours but on the much harder setting where backtracking is involved and trying to survive more frequently then the game can last around the 20 hour mark. The game is even better because you definitely need to go through numerous times to unlock everything and to get the other endings to the story. Plus with side quests the game can last even longer. So overall Silent Hill Downpour is quite lengthy.
There are a total of 41 achievements on Silent Hill Downpour and most you will get from doing the main story and some will be achieved by finding and completing side quests. However there are some that require you to finish the game on different difficulty settings for both game difficulty and puzzle difficulty. Some achievements involve killing so many different types of enemies and for achieving different endings in the game. So overall a nice mix of achievements are on offer and will definitely make the game last longer and keep you on your toes.
*Silent Hill Downpour has a very solid story as usual.
*Multiple endings, lots of enemies, tons of weapons and items as well.
*The music is fantastic, sound effects are brilliant and the graphics are really good.
*The town is back and looking better than ever full of fog and creepy monsters.
*Its a quite creepy and scary game at times and definitely lives up to the title of survival horror.
*Explore the whole town and visit some exciting places such as the police station, a bank and much more.
*A few glitches and the frame rate is a little dodgy and slow at times.
*Can be quite difficult at times if you have it on a tougher setting than easy.
*Contains bits that some gamers may find disturbing and should be an 18 not a 15.
*Could be too scary for some gamers and definitely not for the lighthearted.
*No multiplayer although developers had considered it. Maybe next time eh?
Silent Hill Downpour has rocketed up in my all time favourite charts because it simply is fantastic and its a well designed game overall. Yeah its a little weird and it certainly has made me jump on more than one occasion but I think that adds to the game success and one of the reasons why it works really well overall.
This is a game I would definitely recommend. If you loved the older Silent Hill games such as Silent Hill 2 & 3 then you will be glad to know its finally back at its best with Downpour and similar in ways to those games. If you wasn't too keen on Silent Hill Homecoming then you will be glad to know that this is far better than that (even though i liked it). Also if you like a good survival horror game this is right up your street and one of the better survival games out there because it really is more difficult to survive.
The game has an age rating of 15+ but I do feel there is enough in it for it to be considered an 18+. The game manual isn't the best but it does offer some good info on the game and what it entails. The game is relatively new out and some may find its a little pricey. I got mine from Asda for £39.97 but I do feel its worth it. Amazon and eBay have the game for around £45 which is ridiculous.
Overall Silent Hill Downpour has to go down as one of the best games so far this year. Whilst the price is a little hefty, the game is definitely worth it in my eyes. I would give Silent Hill Downpour a stunning 9/10!

1.) So the Donald Brown era begins in Indianapolis. We like this pick. Unlike a wide receiver, it helps immediately. We love Joe Addai, but he is 20 carry per game back. The Colts need a second back who can take 8 to 15 carries a game. This kid can catch and block, two musts for a Colts back. When Jerry went off the board we thought BP might go this way.
2.) I think the Colts are going to be a very good team again next season. This pick signals to me that Polian and the coaches see the line problems as correctable. Investing in the running game is smart. Some will spin this as an indictment of Addai. I don't buy it. I'd say it's more of an indictment of the depth behind him. I'd be suprised if Addai isn't the starter again this season. I think it is way too soon to bury him as a bust or a misfire. He was amazing his first two seasons and helped win a Super Bowl. He gets a pass from me for playing behind an inept line in 2008.
3.) Brown led the nation in rushing. Love it. Polian is a sucker for on-field production.
4.) Pittsburgh takes DT Evander Hood of Missouri.
5.) King Richard of Stampede Blue is a tool.
DZ Comments:
I'm thrilled with this pick. You can basically take my justification for taking LeSean McCoy in the 2nd round two days ago and apply it to this pick…only Brown is better. Again, I don't think this says as much about Addai as it does about Hart and Ball. Indy was at its best with a two back offense with a good pass catcher/blocker in both spots. This is a great pick. If the line can get its act together, this team will again be a top flight offense. I suspected the Colts might go running back from the begining, and with Jerry off the board, this was a great pick (note that I always held that Jerry and Moreno had little chance of being around at 27).
The Colts surprise no one with their second round pick of Fili Moala, DT from USC. They traded up five spots with Miami to land the player they wanted. A very unsurprising, but very satisfying pick.

I purchased a cordless telephone on December 6, 2005. We started using it as soon as we received it. It was supposed to be 5.8Ghz, but it's all scratchy and doesn't sound clear. The answering machine stopped recording messages about a week ago. I only found out because three of my clients called my cell phone to leave me messages wondering why I wasn't calling them back. I've not only lost time and work, but now I'm out money because Overstock.com refuses to let me return the phone. This was a $60 phone and I've only had it just over 60 days. This phone should not be doing this and they should be willing to replace it or allow me to pay the difference on a different model phone.
I want to be allowed to exchange this phone and get the Pansonic KX-TG5240M 5.8GHz Cordless Phone System with Answering Machine at $74.99 as stated on their site. I am willing to pay the difference and will pay to ship this bad phone back. I want either my money back or the exchange. Don't offer me 1/6th of what I paid in a coupon on a future order, because I will not be ordering from you again.
Sara, while it's sad that you got a bad phone, I fail to see why youfeel you deserve to ignore Overstock's policy. When you bought fromthem, you bought it with certain conditions... one being that you onlya specific window for returns.
Few will accept returns after 60 days, especially on electronics.
I applaud you, however, for taking a reasonable position in offeringto send the phone back at your expense.
Instead of looking to send Overstock more money, why don't you go finda store that will sell you the new phone with an unlimited returnperiod. When you find such a store, give them your business. Andpost back here because I think a lot of us would like to buyelectronics from a store that offers returns for an unlimited periodof time.
And, as far as the bad phone goes, there's a warranty included withthe phone. Read it and follow the instructions for getting a repair.
Its not overstocks fault that the phone is faulty. Its also not theirfault that you chose to keep the phone past their return date. Nowthat the possibility of returning it to Overstock has passed you mustdeal with the company that manufactured it.

Ultimate AWD Sports Sedans
Did you by any chance try the G35X and/or S60R?
For me, it came down to those 2 and the 330i. But, like you, I decided I wanted AWD. That made the Infiniti and Volvo much cheaper than the comparable bimmer. Audi wasn't on my list because I don't trust their reliability. Volvo won my personal driving comparisons (even against the 330i), but I wound up buying a G35X purely for practical reasons (cheaper, lower maintenance, better reported reliability, better resale value). I don't regret it one bit.

Thanks roadburner, youd be happy to know that i went wit the 330. I did seriousley consider the s4, but in the end bmws steering is just so communicative and the suspension is taut yet composed, and the engine is SO smooth and linear. Great, great car. And im going to get a set of 18" blizzacks and mount them on the wheels that come with the 335 coupe with sport package, because i think they look cool on the 3 series sedan too. Thank you for your imput it really helped! By the way though, how do you do the changeover yourself do you have a lift? I dont want to have to take it up to the gas station every time i want to take the wheels off and on
Thanks qbrozen I did look at the g35, i didnt pursue the s60r but i did look at it briefly online, in general i dont think the car would give the driver as much feedback as the other two would. In the end i went with the 330, and im planing on getting snow tires (it only snows 6 or 7 days a year here anyway), i just thought the g35 was a little coarse compared with the bimmer, it was a great car dont get my wrong, just not as sophisticated with the way it drove. That car (the g35) is no doubt the more reliable choice though, youll be able to take it to 250000 miles easily if you take care of it. Have fun with your G thats a great car and thank you again for the advice

Great choice!

I use a Snap-on aluminum jack and stands. I just change one wheel at a time, and it still takes less than an hour. Mark the location of each tire LF, RF, etc., so you can put them on the same corner when you reinstall them. Also, put some anti-seize on each hub before you put put the wheel on and always use a torque wrench to ensure that the lug bolts are properly tightened.

Oh, I'd have to agree. I mean, there is no free lunch. The G is considerably cheaper for a reason.

We received at least 16" of snow this weekend. I brushed the snow off my 328xi and 335xi and drove them both out of my 75' driveway. No hesitation, no protest, ZERO wheelspin. I am completely satisfied. My next car?
Hello BMW AWD? Just make sure it's turbocharged.
Any questions?
Any questions?
You didn't high center? You probably don't have 6" of ground clearance.
Don't get overconfident.
High center? You mean teeter-totter with the belly of my car sitting atop the snow while the wheels spin out of control?
With the let-out of the clutch, the tires advanced the car without hesitation. The trail left behind was a prefect outline of the undercarriage as it leveled the snow. Had I been trying to scale a 2' pile of gravel, I would not have attempted the same maneuver.
Considering the fun I have driving the 328xi, ad especially the 335xi with the twin turbos and the AWD, as long as I'm in New England, I will consider other vehicles when my car goes geriatric, but I doubt I'll buy any other marque.
This is just too much fun.
I guess 16" of powder packs down (or gets plowed out of the way) to less than 6". Just be careful when the stuff is packed and there's more than the clearance you have.
How are the 335ix turbos performing during this sub-zero temperature up there? We are moving to Green Bay, WI, and I was thinking about leasing the BMW 335ix. But I have read elsewhere that the twin-turbos, or any other turbos for that matter, is a bad idea in the cold. Your input is greatly appreciated.
But I have read elsewhere that the twin-turbos, or any other turbos for that matter, is a bad idea in the cold.
I cannot for the life of me figure out why that might be. I used to live in Chicago and owned two turbo cars while I lived there. The only issue (if you can call it that) with cold weather that I ever found was that you were able to get significantly MORE power from the engine on very cold days, especially if the intake was intercooled (which the 335i is).
Best regards,
Cool air ought to help all engines, and a turbo puts out more heat so if anything it would benefit more than other engines would.
Apparently you're having a difficult time figuring out what the OP was referring to as well.
Shipo. Sorry for the confusion. I was looking around the internet on driving a turbo car in the winter time and came across a lot of Jetta TDI owners stating that their turbo cars have a very hard time warming up quickly during the winter time. The TDIs take so long that they have do-it-yourself projects where they use foam pipe outer covering to stuff the front air-intake of the cars so that they will warm up faster. They keep them on all winter long. They said all turbo cars, including the 335ix which we are interested in, have experienced the same problem.
I, for one, do not think it is a good idea to block the front air-intake. It is my understanding as well that colder air increases performance by increasing the horse power. And I believe that turbos and twin-turbos run a lot hotter than normal aspirated cars and will need the front air-intakes to cool them down. I'll try to find the pictures of their projects and post them here.
A couple of points:
1) Many things that may be true for the TDI generally have zero bearing on other cars, turbocharged or not.
2) Colder air allows for increased performance due to the fact that the colder the charge, the denser it is (i.e. more oxygen molecules per given volume, allowing for a commensurate increase in the amount of fuel injected into it -- this is more of a factor with normally aspirated engines), AND the cooler the intake charge, the high the boost can be and/or the further advanced the ignition and valve timing can be before reaching the point of insipient detonation.
Best regards,
In the Boston area, the engine fires up immediately, the revs settle down to 650 at idle and the turbos are as kick-[non-permissible content removed] as on a beautiful summer day.
On the other hand, Green Bay is a place where only truly die-hard Packer cheese-heads live! I don't have any doubt at all that the 335xi will perform very well in the cold. I do suggest following BMW's recommendation about top tier gas (Shell, Sunoco, etc. Your dealer can give you a list). Also, check out the right oil. I use Castrol Synthetic 5W-30. That should work for you but check with a knowledgeable mechanic.
I used to think everyone should drive a 335xi, but if that were true, I wouldn't be able to blow by other cars so easily!
Go for it. I'm sure you won't regret it. I would strongly suggest a block heater, though. I used one for many years in Montreal, and it was an engine saver.
I'm amazed that I can offer something that I'm sure you already know. It's the same reason you get lousy mileage on the same trips in the winter as the summer. The colder air is denser and the engine knows this. It appropriately injects more fuel to balance the density of air. It may produce more power, but I don't know the physics and chemistry of the equation. (College was a long time ago.)
Even though the intake may be intercooled (I wasn't aware of this), it's starting with much colder air. It depends on how the intercooler determines when it's job is done. If you have more information on this, I'd appreciate your input.
Also, check out the right oil. I use Castrol Synthetic 5W-30.
Please be advised that Castrol Syntec 5W-30 DOES NOT meet the necessary oil specifications required for any BMW built since at least the late 1990s. Running that oil is a recipe for a sludged engine and a refusal from your dealership/BMW for warranty repairs if/when the engine fails. The only Castrol Syntec that meets the BMW LongLife-98 and LongLife-01 oil specifications (equired for every gasoline powered BMW sold this decade is Syntec 0W-30. That said, you can buy a Castrol produced oil under the BMW label from your dealership that is in fact a 5W-30, but make no mistake, that is NOT the same oil as is in the Castrol Syntec 5W-30 bottle.
For all who buy their own oil, the only two generally available LL-01 oils sold here in the U.S. are Mobil 1 0W-40 and Castrol Syntec 0W-30.
Best regards,
Ummm, well it doesn't actually work that way. While it is true that he engine control systems weigh the intake charge and inject the appropriate amount of fuel into it, it is not true that your engine gets worse winter time mileage for that reason. In theory, your engine will ingest the exact same amount of air by weight (and then inject the exact same amount of fuel as a result) per produced horsepower-hour, winter or summer. Said another way, denser air does not automatically equate to lower fuel economy.
The most common reason why engines deliver lower fuel economy in the winter is that fuel doesn't as easily vaporize in a very cold intake charge as it does in a warm or hot intake charge, and as such, the engine needs to run a tad richer to make sure the burn inside the cylinders is properly controlled. That said, depending upon how the intake is setup, turbocharged engines have the ability to negate the cold air/poor vaporization thing by relying on the warming effect the turbocharger(s) create by compressing the intake charge. Back in the 1980s I had a non-intercooled turbocharged car that actually got better fuel economy on the highway in the winter months, in fact, the best mileage it ever got was driving across Nebraska at something like ten degrees below zero.
The question here is, "Does the 335i bypass the intercooler when the intake charge is cold and the engine is being operated at partial throttle?" Answer: I don't know for sure, but I kind of doubt it, that would be a lot of plumbing.
Taken from a different perspective, Audi, with its FSI style engines that inject the fuel directly into the hot combustion chamber, is now producing cars that vary little winter vs. summer with regards to fuel economy.
Best regards,
Diesels are totally different. We shouldn't even group turbo-diesels with gas turbos when we discuss forced induction.
krzyss Posts: 845One thing that was not mentioned is that winter gas and summer gas have different formulations and simply winter gas has less energy per volume than summer flavour.
My understanding is that the seasonal formulations vary by region. I did a little studying on this a couple of years back when E10 first made its appearance here in New England, and IIRC, the formulation here in the Boston area is the same year round.
Anybody with more recent information?
Best regards,
Same here in MD.
At first it varied by the time of year, but now we use E10 year-round. No change in the formula seasonally any more.
richt5 Posts: 43I have 2 2006 mazda 6's ,a 2.3 i4 gt and a gt speed6.The fuel mileage difference between the 2 --- summer vs winter is about the same. Its 2 miles per gallon better in the summer. I watch mileage very carefully . This is real would driving . The biggest difference I have found is between gas brands ----- I know you wouldnt think so. I have found Shell to be the most inconsistent , sometimes 3 miles to the gallon less --- remember 2 cars , same conditions , same drivers and accurate calculations. Political concerns aside , Citgo is the most consistent. So turbo vs non turbo , 2 very similar cars (for this test) , the turbo still uses a little more gas in cold weather as does the non turbo. Buy the way both cars are great. thanks . I hope this offers some clarity to the subject.
Both sedans?
Interesting to own the same car twice, despite major differences in the powertrains.
waygrabow Posts: 214I sold my MazdaSpeed6 last Fall; then drove our 03 Audi A4; now drive our 09 A4. That MazdaSpeed6 was a lot of car for the money. I still miss it, but it encouraged me to get speeding tickets. I got between 24-29 mpg with it. The regular Mazda6 is a nice car, but I doubt if it drives the same.
The A4 is a nice car but more bland. An automatic transmission just doesn't get me involved in the driving process; so I treat it like an appliance, with little urge to "push" it.

Information about Classroom Walkthroughs
Purpose of a Classroom Walkthrough
In part, the purpose of classroom walk-throughs is to evaluate how the Illinois State Learning Standards are incorporated into daily lessons. During a walk-through, the observer is to check for the following:
Is the state standard posted in the classroom?
Has the teacher written the lesson objective on the board?
Are students aware of what standard is being taught?
Are models of exemplary work displayed throughout the classroom?
Observers are encouraged to not only examine the walls and desks, but also a teacher's lesson plan book if one is readily available.
Timing of a Classroom Walkthrough
Walk-throughs are 3 to 4 minutes: Not any longer. Administrators are warned to resist the "temptation to become involved" in what is going on in the classroom.
Walkthrough Procedures
Observers need to make it clear to the teacher that a classroom walk-through is taking place. This may be done by wearing the "snapshot" pouch or by any other agreed upon signal.
The observer is encouraged NOT to take notes during the walk-through, but rather wait until after he/she has left the classroom to write his/her notes.
Reflective questions are to be given in only about 50% of the classroom walk-throughs.
Reflective questions should be delivered orally and in a neutral environment (NOT the principal's office) within 24 hours of the walk-through.
Central Office Administrators are DISCOURAGED from asking a reflective question as it may feel intimidating for some staff members.
The observer is NOT to engage the teacher in a discussion about the reflective question.
Points to Remember
There is no relation between formal teacher observation and a brief classroom walk-through.
If an administrator observes gross misconduct, he/she will respond appropriately.
The following documents may be useful when preparing for a walk-through.

Gentleman, as requested in the Admin's guide, I want to tell you that I've set up PostgreSQL on my system without any serious problems. Used hardware: Intel Pentium (i486-platform) Installed operating system: SuSE LINUX 6.1 (german version) with kernel 2.0.36, modified by SuSE (I think this LINUX-release is based on RedHat, it is very often used in Germay) PostgreSQL version: 6.5.3 I have compiled and installed PostgreSQL (including locale support) without any problems, the regression tests worked fine except of some small errors: The FLOAT8-Test failed The GEOMETRIC-Test failed The RANDOM-Test failed. I attach the generated regression.out-file to this e-mail. With best regards, Harald Husemann System Administrator Dunkel + Schürholz GmbH GERMANY http://www.leiterplattentechnik.de P.S.: Keep on the good work! I'm really glad that I've found an SQL-Server cheaper than Microsoft's SQL-Server (in fact, a freeware one) which will hopefully meet our requirements! (We want to use it as a back-office server for our Product database)

For the one in three American adults with high blood pressure, a natural remedy known as flaxseed may improve health. Sourced from the Linum usitatissimum plant, flaxseed contains a number of substances that may help with blood pressure control (such as alpha-linolenic acid, fiber, and lignans).

Flaxseed is available in a number of forms, including whole seeds and flaxseed oil. Sometimes taken in supplement form, flaxseed oil typically contains alpha-linolenic acid (and sometimes lignans).

Since whole flaxseed can be tough to digest, it's helpful to grind the seeds into a powder prior to eating them.

Why Is Flaxseed Sometimes Used for Blood Pressure Control?

A type of omega-3 fatty acid, alpha-linolenic acid is thought to play a key role in flaxseed's possible effects on blood pressure. Indeed, some research has linked alpha-linolenic acid intake with a reduced risk of high blood pressure. This research includes a study published in the journal Hypertension in 2005, which analyzed the diets of 4,594 participants and found that alpha-linolenic acid intake was associated with lower prevalence of high blood pressure.

The fiber in flaxseed may also help bring blood pressure down. There's some evidence that fiber intake may help fight high blood pressure in part by protecting against endothelial dysfunction (i.e., abnormalities in the layer of cells lining the blood vessels).

In addition, the lignans in flaxseed may help lower blood pressure. A type of phytoestrogen, lignans are thought to regulate blood pressure in part by producing antioxidant effects.

Research on Flaxseed and Blood Pressure

Supplementing your diet with flaxseed may lead to a significant decrease in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, according to a report published in Clinical Nutrition in 2015.

For this report, researchers reviewed 15 previously published clinical trials (with a total of 1,302 participants) which tested the effects of flaxseed supplementation on blood pressure. Their analysis determined that consuming flaxseed for more than 12 weeks had a greater effect on blood pressure, compared to using flaxseed products for fewer than 12 weeks.

The report's authors also found that while use of flaxseed powder caused a significant reduction in systolic blood pressure, use of flaxseed oil did not significantly lower systolic blood pressure. However, both flaxseed powder and flaxseed oil appeared to significantly reduce diastolic blood pressure.

(The top number on a blood pressure reading, systolic blood pressure is a measure of the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats. The bottom number on the reading, diastolic blood pressure is a measure of the pressure in your arteries between heartbeats.)

Caveats

Flaxseed is likely safe for most adults, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The NIH caution that flaxseed may trigger the following side effects:

abdominal pain

bloating

constipation

diarrhea

nausea

The NIH also warn that consuming flaxseed may cause blood pressure to become too low in people who are taking blood pressure-lowering medication. Therefore, it's crucial for individuals using such medications to consult their physician prior to consuming flaxseed.

Using Flaxseed for Blood Pressure Control?

More research is needed before flaxseed can be recommended for blood pressure management. Still, it's possible that using flaxseed products may enhance your health. In addition to potentially lowering blood pressure, flaxseed may help cut cholesterol and keep blood sugar in check (a factor that may help protect against diabetes).

To boost your dietary intake of flaxseed, try adding ground flaxseed to such foods as yogurt, soups, salads, and oatmeal. You can also add flaxseed oil to salads, vegetable dishes, and other dishes.

While supplementing your diet with flaxseed products may be of some benefit in blood pressure control, flaxseed should not be used as a substitute for standard care of high blood pressure.

Industry leading integrated oil and gas companies have seen a performance slowdown as volumes in downstream operations declined. The impact, in some cases, was so important that improvements in the upstream segment were offset. However, demand is expected to rise through 2017, offering a good opportunity to analyze oil and gas refining companies. In this case, I will look at Valero Energy (NYSE:VLO) and Phillips 66 (NYSE:PSX).
Few Opportunities
Valero Energy's activities are carried out in the U.S., Canada and Caribbean, where it operates 16 refineries and with a total capacity of 2.8 million barrels per day. Additionally, the firm is the largest independent refiner in the U.S., produces 1.1 billion gallons of ethanol a year and distributes refined products through over 1,000 retail fuel outlets. Through this year the firm has been experiencing lower refining margins in each of the company's regions and higher refining operating expenses.
In the short term, Valero Energy's earnings and revenue continue to suffer, but analysts augur a prosperous future as new opportunities arise. The optimism is based mainly in the dominant positioning and narrow economic moat achieved by the firm. Furthermore, the Parkway Pipeline project with Kinder Morgan Energy Partners LP and recently completed Diamond Green Diesel joint venture biofuels plant increases processing capacity amid rising demand for oil and gas products. Additionally, the projects are anticipated to have a notable impact on earnings, expected to be seen during this year's fourth quarter.
Looking forward, Valero Energy has reduced capital spending by 20% during 2013 when compared to 2012. More, the decline has been closely associated with the financing of two major hydrocracker projects shortly. A great risk arises from disturbances due to accidents, mechanical failure and labor issues that would hamper production and result in increased repair and maintenance expenses. Also, in the U.S. generally face uncertainty regarding future regulations pertaining to greenhouse gas emissions and the potential for higher requirement of biofuels.
The balance sheet for Valero Energy is moderate-to-weak due to thin operating margins. Currently trading at 9.7 times its trailing earnings, the stock is packing a 20% discount to the industry average. Andreas Halvorsen is the guru holding the largest stake in the firm, but his position has been reduced during the last quarter. I share his pessimism since growth opportunities are limited.
Under Construction
Phillips 66 is a downstream company also involved in power generation, lubricants and other specialty products businesses, with operations mainly in the U.S., Europe and Asia. The company operates 15 refineries with a total throughput capacity of 2,485 m/d, in addition to a joint venture of 61 natural gas processing facilities, 12 NGL fractionation plants and a natural gas pipeline system with 62,000 miles of pipeline. The company is also a partner in a chemical joint venture that operates facilities in the U.S. and the Middle East, which primarily produces olefins and polyolefins.
Ahead, Phillips 66 has to return its refining operations to a profitable path. During the current year, refining operations have lagged behind the other three segments the firm operates. However, prospects for the refining industry are limited and competition is high. Hence, the company may have better results if the portfolio's weight tilts towards the midstream and chemical segments. These two segments have driven growth to the extent of offsetting lagging midstream operations.
For the long-road, Phillips 66's refining competitive position and asset base is considerably below that of Valero Energy's. Its competitiveness, however, is not under questioning thanks to a greater availability of discount crude for the East and West Coast refineries. This has been possible due to important investments in transport logistics in naval and rail assets. Although better results are expected once the business restructuring away from refining is on full speed, the effect on performance is not expected to be meaningful.
Financially, the Phillips 66 valuation is moderate due to thin margins and declining revenues. The stock currently trades at 11.6 times its trailing earnings, barely below the industry average. Larry Robbins, the guru with the largest stake in the firm, has increased his position throughout 2013. I do not share his optimism because the restructuring announced will not have a great impact in overall performance.
Troubled Present, Questioned Future
The analysis highlights Valero Energy's better standing in comparison with Phillips 66, and the second's activities diversification. I feel pessimistic about both because there are no clear growth catalysts in the near future, and a rising demand is not enough to justify a long-term investment.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) are higher by 2.71% to $602.46 in late afternoon trading on Wednesday as the stock reacts positively to a price target increase to $560 from $542 at Wunderlich Securities.
The increase reflects the firm's belief that Chipotle is fairly valued and "that the company has virtually completed its roll out of higher menu prices, sooner that we projected," Wunderlich said.
As a result, Wunderlich is now saying its expects Chipotle's second quarter same store sales to increase by 11%, up from the 8% it estimated previously, and its EPS to rise to $3.10, above the consensus estimate of $3.07, and the firm's previous forecast of $3.01.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 25 Favorite Stocks
TheStreet Ratings team rates CHIPOTLE MEXICAN GRILL INC as a Buy with a ratings score of B. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate CHIPOTLE MEXICAN GRILL INC (CMG) a BUY. This is driven by some important positives, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, good cash flow from operations, solid stock price performance, growth in earnings per share and increase in net income. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows low profit margins."

BRADENTON, Fla. - In a tragic story coming out of a Manatee County daycare center and school, an investigation is under way into the death of an infant.
According to information from the Department of Children and Families, the Bradenton Police Department was called to the Children's Academy of Southwest Florida back on January 7th. And, while the details of what they found are still being investigated, we do know that one of the students who went to school that day didn't leave alive.
"An infant did die while in the care of the school how ever we do not have a definitive cause of death," says Natalie Harrell from DCF.
The name and age of the student has not yet been released. And, authorities are currently awaiting an autopsy to confirm the actual cause of death and what will happen next.
"Right now we do have an active investigation a we continue to wok closely with law enforcement and child protective services at this time," Harrell added.
At this point in the investigation the school continues to operate.
According to its website ,they were originally called the Manatee County Nursery School. It was founded by Eleanor Roosevelt in 1935 as part of the WPA Program under the New Deal to provide day care for children of the working poor. They incorporated in 1972 and have continued to serve children of the working poor who range from 2 weeks old to 12 years of age for the past 78 years.
And while school officials would not speak to ABC 7 on camera, they did say during that time they have had no other incidents. In the meantime, law enforcement and DCF officials continue to investigate what happened.
"It's open and active and it continues to make changes along the way," said Harrell.

TEL AVIV (Apr. 17)
The Israeli Army disclosed today that it was using two potent American anti-tank weapons. The disclosure was made as Israeli and Syrian forces continued battling for the 37th day with heavy artillery and tank fire on the slopes of Mt. Hermon and along the Golan Heights. One Israeli soldier was wounded during the night by Syrian shelling of Israeli positions on the strategic peak of Mt. Hermon. There were no further reports of Israeli casualties in today's fighting which was reported to be mainly long-range artillery and tank duels.
The army said today that since the Yom Kippur War it has added the Tow and the Low. American anti-tank missiles that were first used by American forces in Vietnam in 1970. The Tow. the more complex of the two, is operated by a four-man crew and can fire missiles at the speed of sound up to 3000 yards. The missile's trajectory can be diverted in flight to follow a moving target. The Low. operated by a single soldier, can fire a missile up to 1000 yards that can penetrate over 11 inches of steel.
In an ominous development, President Anwar Sadat of Egypt reportedly warned in Cairo that Egypt has missiles trained on three Israeli cities. He did not name them but indicated they were the three "main" cities which are Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa. Sadat was quoted as saying that he was confident that Israel would withdraw from the Sinai peninsula. He said he based his confidence on "strategic calculations."

Stanford did the right thing. This situation could have come to light later on and been embarrassing to them for more than one reason.

Some employers actually ask for and verify diplomas, having seen phonies in the past.
If the wrong signature was there, it would have been dissed as just another phony and the bearer rejected.

text: I am just sitting here watching an interesting documentary, Chasing Wild Horse on/by New York fashion photographer Roberto Dutesco on his passion for the wild horses on Canada's Sable Island. In this documentary, he has an impressive kit of film gear and several large bags of 120 and 35mm film. He has produced some beautiful images of a magical, forgotten landscape. I have had an itch to visit Sable Island since I first heard of it in school in the 1960s. In later years I read Thomas Raddall's novel The Nymph and the Lamp, which is sit in the dying days of the Sable Island lighthouse. The documentary airs again in Canada on June 1 at 8:00 P.M. on Bravo.

Addressing the national council of the Bharatiya Janata Party, Advani said there should be no slackness in the efforts to return to power after a decade's break.
"One of the reasons for losing the 2004 Lok Sabha polls was over confidence," he said.
"We should not be over confident and there should not be any shortcoming in the hard work that has to be put in."
One of the reasons for losing the 2004 LS polls was over confidence: Advani
Advani added that he wanted to address the lack of trust in the BJP among the Muslim community.
"They know they have been used for votes, and no one did anything for them.
"Our party believes in integral humanism... We do not discriminate on the basis of religion, caste or language.
"Those who talk about majority and minority are those who want their votes. We want to work for everyone."
Saying he had never seen the party brimming with such confidence, Advani thanked BJP president Rajnath Singh for naming Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi as the prime ministerial candidate.
"I want to thank the party president for his confidence that we will get a majority (in the Lok Sabha) and for announcing Modi as the prime ministerial candidate."
