Until Pontiac bit the dust in the wake of GM's 2009 bankruptcy fiasco, the Pontiac G6 was the company's go-to midsize car. In a constant battle to steal sales from the class favorites, the G6 offered unusually tactful styling by Pontiac standards, solid performance from its V6 engines and the availability of a four-seat retractable-hardtop convertible body style. Volume-selling models were the five-passenger sedan and four-passenger coupe.
Unlike the Grand Am that it replaced, the Pontiac G6 had considerably more flavor than a generic rental car. Still, the traditional class favorites topped the G6 in the areas of engine refinement, driving dynamics and cabin materials. The G6 may still hold appeal for used-car shoppers, especially given its likely cut-rate pricing. GM has pledged to continue supporting Pontiac products in its service departments, so a used G6 isn't necessarily a bad idea.
Most Recent Pontiac G6
Based on General Motors' lengthened "Epsilon" platform, the Pontiac G6 was produced from 2005-'09 as a sedan, coupe and retractable-hardtop convertible. For '05, only the sedan was offered; the coupe and convertible debuted a year later. Three main trim levels were offered on the sedan: base, GT and GTP (which became the GXP in '08). Coupes were either GTs or GTP/GXPs, convertibles GT only. Plenty of standard features, such as air-conditioning, full power accessories and CD audio, came on the base model. The GT added niceties such as an upgraded Monsoon audio system. The GXP topped the range with items like sporty exterior styling tweaks and automatic climate control.
At the time of Pontiac's demise, the G6's engine lineup included a base 2.4-liter four (164 horsepower), a 3.5-liter V6 (219 hp), a 3.9-liter V6 available on the convertible only (222 hp) and the GXP's 3.6-liter V6 (252 hp). Four-speed automatics were standard with all except the GXP's V6, which got a six-speed; however, the four-cylinder got an optional six-speed for 2009 that raised highway fuel economy to a laudable 33 mpg. Some power ratings were a bit lower in previous years, notably the 3.5-liter V6, and a manual transmission was available on a limited basis until '08.
In reviews we found that the Pontiac G6 offered generous room for those riding in back, no matter the body style. And we noted that after years of enduring criticism about its overstyled exteriors and gimmicky interior designs, Pontiac stepped up its efforts with the G6. Outside, the G6 had a crisp and sleek look; inside, there was a restrained and attractive layout with none of the traditional dull gray plastic switches. Even so, the G6 still had a few too many cheap plastic surfaces for our tastes.
On the road, we appreciated the low and midrange torque of the 3.5-liter V6, and the ride was smooth. The convertible's optional 3.9-liter V6 should be avoided if possible, though -- it was barely more powerful than the 3.5-liter V6 and got worse fuel economy. Handling was respectable, but we disliked the electric power steering, which was too light and offered virtually no feedback. GT models from 2007 and up had an improved hydraulic steering setup, which we preferred. Along with the enhanced feature content of the later models, we'd recommend focusing your used Pontiac G6 search on the '07 or newer models.

Eggless cake recipe – Tested and tried recipe. A perfect teatime cake which is super moist and has the right amount of sweetness. Have been baking this cake since my Home science days (using regular flour and more of baking powder) and every time its a WINNER!
This easy to follow eggless cake recipe is made with ingredients right off your pantry. Instead of using the regular all-purpose flour, I have used Cake flour to prepare my eggless cake recipe.
Why use cake flour?
Because cake flour has little less protein as compared to all-purpose flour. And this low protein influences the gluten or elastic quality of the flour and makes cake flour a perfect ingredient used for baking.
Now onto the recipe!
This is a pretty straightforward recipe with no crazy ingredients.
Didn't had any heavy cream on hand so mixed up 3/4 cup of milk (any kind) + 1/4 cup of unsalted butter and whisked it well.
Also added fresh orange zest which gave this cake an exceptional flavor and taste. Skipping this step will not do any harm to the recipe.
Have a lemon sitting the fridge, how about adding fresh lemon zest to this recipe.
Depending on the pan size this cake needs to be baked for 35-50 minutes. For me, it took 45 minutes in a 7.5 X 3.75 X 2.25-Inch loaf size pan to bake this cake. This is a SUPER…SUPER moist cake so allow it to cool down completely and then slice.
Ready to roll.. let's begin with our Eggless Cake recipe…. Don't forget to try our Eggless Vanilla cupcake recipe and Eggless Oatmeal-Raisin cookies.

Deputies Conduct Compliance Checks
CELINA — Law enforcement officials in Mercer County checked up on the registration information of more than 60 sex offenders this week.
In a news release, Mercer County Sheriff Jeff Grey said deputies teamed with members of the United States Marshal's Violent Fugitive Task Force to verify compliance with all 64 registered sex offenders in Mercer County on Tuesday and Wednesday. Sex offenders are required to register their address and place of employment with the sheriff periodically.
"This operation was conducted to ensure that sex offenders in Mercer County are complying with the law and to hold those accountable who aren't," Grey said. "I am happy to report that only one sex offender was found out of compliance. He was arrested. This shows that most offenders are cooperating with us and working to meet their statutory obligation."
Arrested was Joseph Dima Sanders, 21, for a probation violation for not registering his correct address.
"We expect the prosecutor's office to file failure to register charges against Mr. Sanders very soon," Grey said.
Currently, there are eight offenders who have not been verified. Deputies continue to try to locate them.
"Some of those not located at this point, will be found in compliance, two are going to need additional follow up."
Additionally, Crystal Sue Mann (Mowery) was arrested for felony theft and Donald Ginter was taken into custody on an outstanding tax evasion warrant.
Residents are reminded that they may sign up to receive emails when an offender moves into their neighborhood at the sheriff's office website at MercerCountySheriff.org.

Lisa Jo Rudy went into her first directing experience with a goal of giving everyone involved a moment to shine: How ideal that this was also the holiday show at Falmouth Theatre Guild, already an event that brings the community together.
Lisa Jo Rudy went into her first directing experience with a goal of giving everyone involved a moment to shine. How ideal that this was also the holiday show at Falmouth Theatre Guild, already an event that brings the community together.
For the guild's fourth annual production of "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever," Rudy has a cast of 60, including more than a dozen little ones from ages 3 to 6. There are seven adults. So that leaves 40 kids from ages 7 and 17 to spend part of the holiday season entertaining in a Christmas comedy with a lot of heart.
"It's a perfect show to do for families around the holidays," Rudy says. Besides being just 75 minutes long during the holiday rush, she notes, "It's full of kids, which is wonderful because you want a lot of kids around Christmas; it's funny at the level that's good for children but also for adults — laugh-out-loud funny but not sticky sweet; and it also has the story of Christmas and Christmas carols."
The play is based on Barbara Robinson's 1970s novel about how an unruly family of bullying, irreverent children changes everyone's perception of the annual church Christmas pageant when they decide to be a part of it.
Rudy has added more music than used in the past, and brought music director Jeanne Kuzirian on stage as the choral director of the pageant under rehearsal. That also brings the children's choir on stage, and they're accompanied by youngsters playing the clarinet, saxophone and cello.
"They're all built into the whole show," Rudy says. "I'm very proud of the kids; they've worked so hard so it feels great to give everybody a chance."
And although the story originally took place in the 1970s, and is often staged in that era, Rudy brought the story into the present, adding contemporary touches like texting and cell phones. Not much else had to be changed — including, unfortunately, that there are still neglected children who act out when unsupervised.
"There isn't very much in the play that would make you uncomfortable," she says. "It holds up pretty well because it really is a classic story."
The production is truly a family affair, with parents and children all involved, including Rudy's own husband and children; a family of five guild newcomers; and the show's main parents being played by a married couple whose infant son will be brought on for curtain call. And the wider community is invited to be involved through the group marching in Sunday's Falmouth Christmas Parade; barrels at the shows set up to collect canned goods for the Falmouth Service Center; and post-show receptions being hosted for the cast and audience at the Cape Cod Conservatory across the parking lot from the Highfield Theatre. The conservatory will provide refreshments, music played by youth bands and activities for kids.

When longtime actor Rick Smith decided to make his directing debut, he sought help from people he knew he could count on: He figures he's been in about 50 plays, collectively, with the four actors joining him in the cast.
"Both on stage and off, we know each other pretty well," he says. "The experiences we've had with each other ... carries on to the stage."
Only one of those friends, though, is playing an actor in this holiday production: Smith and three of the other men will be in drag.
Smith and co-director Katherine Petitt-Quigley are referring to the latest Academy of Performing Arts production in large type on posters as "The Farndale Christmas Carol," but the actual, full-mouthful of a title (revealed in small type) is "The Farndale Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society Production of A Christmas Carol." The idea is that this is a group of women in an English community organization staging the Dickens classic. And, Smith says, "they think they're a lot better than they actually are in real life."
Since Smith refers to this as "a Christmas farce," audiences can assume that pretty much everything that could go wrong in producing the holiday staple does go wrong. And isn't it always funnier when men are wearing dresses? Smith, who's done several other plays in drag, thinks so.
The script doesn't call for cross-dressing, and the show wasn't staged that way when it debuted at the Orleans playhouse a dozen years ago. Smith put this new spin on it, and the other guys agreed. (Petitt-Quigley is the only woman involved to keep the comedy running.) At his actors' urging, Smith cast himself in the smaller role of an elderly woman, so he can view the big-picture as director, but also have the actors contribute as they explore their characters with and without him on stage.
"If it's funny and we laugh, we keep it," Smith says of the style both he and Petitt-Quigley employ in working with the actors. "If it's not funny, we fix it."
Smith chose a comedy for his directing debut because it's his favorite genre: "There's not much I enjoy more than making people laugh. Also, it's one of the hardest things to do, and I knew this bunch of guys would be able to pull it off."
For most of the past several years, the academy has staged some version of the Dickens story for the holidays, but Smith believes pretty much everyone knows the basic story line now. "Farndale" doesn't get into all the details. "We're not trying to tell the story or stay true to the story," he says. This farce "gives a taste of the Christmas spirit in a very funny way."
"The Farndale ... Christmas Carol," written by David McGillivray and Walter Zerlin Jr., will be presented at 8 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays through Dec. 16. at the Academy Playhouse, 120 Main St., Orleans. Tickets: $20. Reservations: 508-255-1963. Information: www.apacape.org.

Ty Takes a Meal
Prize day edition
Another month has passed, and the day of the TTM drawing is here!
But first, I must address a point of controversy. A scandal, even. There were three successful photo-guessers last month, but only two will be competing for the prize. Why? It turns out that last week's winner, GardenGnome, was actually ineligible to play and his name has been cast out of the Randomizer 4000.
With that ugliness out of the way, let us turn to the big event. Our two contestants are commenter Schmetlzy, who deduced Loyola's Family Restaurant from a roadrunner themed lamp, and commenter Evarockstar who correctly identified Limonata Italian Street Food Caffe from a group of crowded shelves.
As usual, the contestant's names were placed within the secure confines of the Randomizer 4000. Our guest drawer, music editor Samantha Anne Carrillo then activated the randomizing sequence (mixed up the names with her fingers) and then selected the lucky winner. Two impartial observers (myself and staff writer Mark Lopez) were unhand to make sure that everything was on the up and up.
The winner? Commenter Schmeltzy!
Congratulations, you've won two $10 Alibi Bucks for breakfast at Cafe Lush.
Check back tomorrow for another mysterious photograph and another chance to win.

For the next month and a half, south Louisiana will be a bit warmer, according to meteorologists at the National Weather Service in Slidell.
But that doesn't mean there won't be quick changes and dips in temperature. These "cold snaps," as they're called, are almost expected.
February is forecasted to be the area's coldest month, normal for the season. Weather officials said even the slight possibility of snow hasn't been ruled out.
So this week's Big Fun is designed to help keep you warm. Next time the weather changes, take the opportunity to settle in and grab one of these cold-weather drinks for added comfort.
On a chilly winter day, there's nothing better than hot cocoa for Schriever resident Antonia Jackson, 48. The classic chocolaty drink is great to give kids to avoid the caffeine in coffee and tea. And it works well for parents looking to wind down instead of seeking energy for a day's work. It is typically made with shaved or melted chocolate or cocoa powder, sugar and heated milk or water. Add mini or jumbo marshmallows to this cold-weather drink for an even tastier treat.
Jana Hubbell, 29, of Schriever, prefers hot, apple cider. This naturally sweet, seasonal, non-alcoholic beverage is made only from apples and is often mistakenly thought to be interchangeable as apple juice. Although similar, fresh cider is raw apple juice that has not undergone a filtration process to remove pulp. Apple juice, however, has been filtered and pasteurized in order to stay fresh longer. Cider has limited shelf-life and is typically available only in fall but can be frozen for use year-round. It is the official state beverage of New Hampshire.
Green tea, pine needle tea and chamomile tea are only a few options for this warm beverage. Depending on the type, some forms of the drink can fight infections like the flu and the common cold. Besides that added benefit, it tastes pretty good, too.
Local resident Jerry Moody is sticking to the basics. No matter the weather, coffee's his choice.
"Coffee in cold weather, coffee in hot weather," he said.
The common cup of Joe is a great way to stay warm while getting the energy you need to take care of business. That is, unless you opt for decaf.
Allison Mazerac, 35, of Bayou Blue goes for a less conventional approach. It has been said that alcohol raises the body temperature. Myth or fact, Mazerac says it doesn't matter.
"Vodka and cranberry with a dash of lime juice or a good glass of red wine. If you drink that, you won't care how cold it is," said Mazerac, laughing.
Turn up the heat: 5 cold-weather drinks to keep warm
For the next month and a half, south Louisiana will be a bit warmer, according to meteorologists at the National Weather Service in Slidell.

South Africa v England, Durban
Debut caps Johnson's remarkable rise
ESPN Staff
June 8, 2012
Tom Johnson has been hugely impressive for Exeter over the past two seasons © Getty Images
Tom Johnson will make his England debut against South Africa tomorrow in a match which caps a remarkable rise in the blindside's career.
Johnson has been one of the most consistent flankers in the Aviva Premiership over the past two seasons where he has played an integral part in the Exeter Chiefs' impressive form. With Tom Wood, Tom Croft and Calum Clark all absent, Johnson has been handed the blindside berth for England's first Test with the Springboks in Durban tomorrow.
He has turned out for England against the Barbarians in the past but ahead of his first full cap, Johnson has revealed that there was a stage in his life when he was contemplating turning his back on rugby. Johnson's route to the Test team is also unorthodox.
"I remember when I was deciding to go to rugby or the Army - the Paras - and in their interview they said, 'Do you think you would make a professional rugby player?' Johnson said. "I said I probably wouldn't, and the Army was probably more realistic. But here I am. That was when I was 22 - seven years ago.
"I was playing for Reading at the time and had a decent season and got a letter from Coventry, (saying) please come and meet us. I went up there and they offered me a one-year contract.
"I thought I should give this a go for a year otherwise I would probably regret it. I got another year then went down to Exeter."
In being handed a cap to face the Springboks at Kings Park, he will become the Devon club's first England player since 1964 and his club coach Rob Baxter was one of the first to offer his congratulations.
"Coaches have to take a lot of credit for what they have instilled in us - the detail, the minor things that make the game-piece together," Johnson said. "When you add them all up you tend to get a decent game out if it.
"Rob Baxter has texted me and he was one of the first people I told. He said it was well deserved and just told me to go out and try and enjoy it."

'Christmas Carol' is a gift that keeps on giving
By T.L. Stanley, Los Angeles Times Ebenezer Scrooge was a heartless miser in desperate need of reinvention. It should come as no surprise, then, that he eventually found his way to Hollywood for numerous makeovers spanning more than a half century. Charles Dickens reportedly dashed off the story, "A Christmas Carol," as a way to quickly pay some debts, dreaming up the tight-fisted businessman in 1843. But the writer had more than money on his mind. He was ruminating on heavy issues like consumerism, morality and redemption. He called it "a ghostly little book" to raise "the ghost of an idea." He did much more than that. The central concept -- three specters guide Scrooge through his past, present and future -- has proven irresistible to the creative community. There have been countless remakes of the classic novella across film, TV, theater, opera and radio, with cartoon characters Scrooge McDuck and "The Jetsons'" Cosmo Spacely and British actors Michael Caine and Alastair Sim taking on the title role.

Meatbun - a Christmas Present
Added Jan 13, 2012
by angelical
Århus, Denmark
My BFF reads this manga called Half Prince. From what I've seen of it, it's about teenagers collecting and training spirits and fighting with them in tournaments. A bit like Pokmon, but with more crazy pets.
One of these fighting spirit-pet-things is Meatbun, who looks like a Meatbun and like to eat meatbuns. Also it can shoot meat or something. And, most important of all, my BFF loves it.
All she wanted for Christmas was Meatbun. And so I made her a 100% hand-made Meatbun the size of a small football (or a soccer ball, if you will).
Made entirely of polar fleece (and stuffed with hand-cut polarfleece confetti), it's VERY soft. And she loves it very, very much :D
Material Notes
Polar fleece, polar fleece confetti, embroidery floss, selfmade label

This is very cute. The embroidery is what makes it a real standout.
I have been ordered to create one (or something similar) for my daughter. Is the bottom weighted? Can you add a shot of how you handled the top?
Very cute.

I'm glad you like it :) I made a mistake with the embroidery, so from one side it looks happy but from the other side it looks miserable!
The bottom is not weighted down. The shape makes it stand nicely on it's own. But it is filled very firmly.
The top is a square piece of fleece where the points has been gathered in the middle and sewd on like a botton with the points-side down…

The new incarnation of "Dallas" (9 p.m. on TNT, TV-14) arrives for a second season. Expect political shenanigans, corporate squabbles in the boardroom and the bedroom, and sadly, the final performances of the late Larry Hagman as his iconic character, J.R. Ewing.
The new incarnation of "Dallas" (9 p.m. on TNT, TV-14) arrives for a second season. Expect political shenanigans, corporate squabbles in the boardroom and the bedroom, and sadly, the final performances of the late Larry Hagman as his iconic character, J.R. Ewing.
As if to remind us that the apple has not fallen far from the tree, J.R.'s son, John Ross, is first seen crashing a bachelorette party and seducing the bride-to-be.
At first, he seems merely opportunistic and amoral. But John Ross is really trying to blackmail the girl's father, threatening to release indiscreet pictures of his little darling to the tabloid press. When the angry patriarch responds that John Ross may be jeopardizing a marriage between two young people in love, he responds, "Love is for (expletive)," a line that may have warmed J.R.'s heart.
We soon learn that the whole escapade was J.R.'s idea and that John Ross is out to learn as much from the master as he can. But we can't help knowing that his time is short, and that neither John Ross, nor the rest of the pretty youngsters of the cast, will ever measure up to their entertaining mentor. Old J.R. always made destructive, self-serving mischief-making look like so much fun. John Ross manages to make a night of seduction, betrayal and blackmail look like a chore.
— Speaking of the pretty and uninteresting, "Built" (9 on Style, TV-PG) is funnier to describe than watch. This audaciously ridiculous show follows the exploits of high-fashion male models who moonlight as carpenters and handymen. Following the absurd logic of pornography, "Built" features them taking off their shirts as they measure lumber and drywall while their female clients make infantile jokes about their "tools."

How do I place an order?
First find the image and product combination you want, add it to your shopping cart and proceed to checkout where you will be asked for your delivery and payment details.
How do I pay for an order?
You can pay for your order with the majority of major credit cards via Barclays ePDQ or PayPal (there is no need to register with PayPal to make a purchase). For added reassurance financial institutions process payment details separately and securely. We do not have access to online payment card details. Whilst we do prefer online payments we can accept credit card payments over the phone during business hours. For UK customers only we accept cheques issued against a UK bank.
Can I check the progress of my order?
Yes, but only if you have chosen to register (and supplied a password). To do this, log back on to your account to see where it is in the production process. We will also email you with updates as your order progresses.
Can I add to my order once it has been placed?
Sorry, due to our automated production process, this is not possible.
Can I view my order history?
Yes, all of your previous orders are available in the "My Orders" section when you log in.
Once submitted it's not possible to cancel orders. Our photo labs use automated production systems. Confirmed orders can't be removed from the workflow. We are sorry but we can't stop, cancel or intervene in any way and this includes orders which have not shipped,
How do I return my order if I am not happy with it?
We want you to be happy with your purchase so please contact us to discuss any issues. If we cannot resolve your issue you can of course return it for a refund. Customer services will give you details of how to do this.
Are the framed prints and box canvases ready to hang?
Yes, the framed prints include a hanger on the back and the canvases can be hung from the top edge.
Is the image on both sides of the mug?
Depends on the image, portrait images are printed twice front and back, landscape images are sized so that the wrap around the mug and give the largest possible image.
Are the mugs dishwasher safe?
Do the mouse mats work with optical mice?
Why does it take so long to dispatch an order?
All of our products are made-to-order which means that, whilst you will be getting a premium quality product produced by craftsmen, you may have to wait a few days for it. Prints are usually dispatched the next business day but other products can take longer. The estimated dispatch date is confirmed in the order details emailed to customers.
I have found the image I want but it is not available in the product or size I need?
The partners we work with determine what products they want to make their images available on which is why the product set can vary from image to image. If product you want is not available drop us an email and we will see what we can do. Larger sizes may not be available for some items if we deem that the resolution of the digital file provided is not sufficient for printing at that size.
How do I know if the product is in stock?
All of our products are produced to order, which means you are buying a bespoke product, and we never run out of stock.
Why are the white lines on the sides or top and bottom of the print?
This is due to the image not being the same shape (having a different aspect ratio) to the paper it is being printed on. When this happens you can print the entire image (with margins) or crop the image (no margins) to fill the paper. Where applicable you are offered the choice as part of the ordering process. Some products can cater for a range of shapes and therefore the choice is not needed for these.
Are the prints fade resistant?
Yes, we use proper photographic paper and equipment to give superior fade resistance.
Are the papers/mounts acid free?
They are.
Are the mounts custom cut?
All of the mounts are custom cut using digital laser technology to suit each individual image in order to give the best possible effect on your framed print.
What do you use to glaze the framed prints?
We use high quality optical clarity acrylic which is lighter and more expensive than glass but much safer to post.
How big are the canvas prints?
Canvas prints are typically available in a number of different sizes. Unless shown otherwise, the quoted size refers to the longest edge and since all canvases are made to fit the image exactly the other edge will be scaled to fit the image. Actual sizes for each image can be seen on the page when the image and product are selected.
Is VAT included?
VAT is included for all purchases delivered within the European Union; purchases for delivery outside of the EU are VAT exempt and will not be included.
What products are available?
The product list varies from image to image but typically includes photographs, framed prints, posters, and box canvases and possibly creative gifts such as mugs, mouse mats, t-shirts and jigsaws. To see what products are available for the image you are interested in please go to the detail page for that image where a complete list of products will be displayed. Due to licensing restrictions beyond our control it is not always possible to offer all products for all images.
Why is gloss not an option?
As the majority of our photos are intended for framing we do not offer gloss as this can cause issues when placed behind glass. The finish we use (Lustre) is halfway between Gloss and Matt giving the vibrancy of Gloss without the issues with framing.
Can I have the print with a border?
The option to add a small gap (nominally a 6mm border, the precise size may vary due to production tolerances) is offered on most prints near the Add To Cart button.
Can I have a colour image as a black and white or sepia print?
In most cases this is available and offered near the Add To Cart button.
Why do you not wrap the image on the box canvas products?
Quite a lot of image is needed for the portion that is wrapped. Because we have images from a lot of different sources we cannot guarantee that wrapping all of the images will not result in key parts of the image ending up on the edge rather than the front. Because of this we do not make that an option but we do make different colours for the side available so that you can choose one to suit your taste.
Is the watermark visible on the website included in the purchased product?
It is not. Finished products are produced from much higher quality images that the previews on the web site and do not include the watermarks, which are there to protect the images from being reproduced without permission.
How long will it take to deliver my order?
We do not hold stock as all products are professionally made-to-order. Dispatch dates vary depending upon the product. Regular photographic prints are normally quick dispatching the same or next business day, depending on the time the order is placed. Standard delivery (from UK, USA or Australian stores) takes approximately 2-5 business days to arrive after dispatch. International deliveries take approximately 7-14 days but may take longer due to government import checks.
How will my purchase be packaged?
Small and medium prints are sent flat, whilst larger prints are sent rolled in very strong tubes. All other products are sent in heavy weight boxes with enough additional protection to ensure that they reach their destination safely, even if on the other side of the world.
Who will be delivering it?
We use national carriers (Royal Mail in the UK) for smaller packages and couriers (such as FedEx) for everything else.
Do I need to be in when it arrives?
Some packages require a signature so if you are not in when your package arrives re-delivery will have to be arranged.
Do you have a next day delivery service?
This is not currently an option. However items sent via Courier are normally delivered next working day (Mon-Fri) once the item is ready for dispatch.
Can I pay for faster delivery?
Courier delivery, where offered, is the fastest delivery method. Again please allow time for the item to be made, estimated dispatch dates are clearly shown at the checkout and on your order confirmation.
Can I change the delivery address after my order has been processed?
It may be possible to change the delivery address if production has not commenced. We reserve the right to deliver only to the cardholder's address.
Can I deliver to a different address to my payment details?
Yes, simply enter the alternate delivery address when ordering. We reserve the right to deliver only to the cardholder's address.
Can I track my order?
Registered users can log on to their account and go to the "My Account" area. We will also send you regular email updates tracking your orders progress.
Where do you deliver?
We deliver worldwide to most countries.
How much will delivery cost?
The postage is calculated depending on the products ordered and the delivery address. If you want to know how much the postage will be please place the products you want in the basket and go to checkout where your postage will be calculated. You do not have to complete the purchase if you do not want to.
What is the quality of the images you use for production?
We only source images from professional organisations and check the size of the image against the products available to ensure optimum results. The images on the web site are for preview only and finished products are produced from the original and much higher spec versions. Watermarks are not included on the purchased products.
How many images do you have?
We currently have over four million images on our system with the numbers growing daily.
Where do you get your images?
We work with organisations that have large collections of quality and unique images. These include large sports organisations, charities, museums, photo libraries, newspapers and magazines and government departments.
Can I put my images on your site?
If you have a collection of images to which you own the rights please contact us and we will get back to you.
I cannot find the image I am looking for?
We have a huge archive of images available please use our search functionality to find the one you are after. If you still cannot find it drop us a note and we will see if we can help.
What about old images?
Some of the images we have available are scans of historic photographs. In some cases this means that there may be some marks on the image. Please appreciate that not all images of a certain age will be blemish free.
Does the watermark appear on the finished product?
The watermark is there to protect the images on the website from being used without permission and does not appear on any purchased products.
The previews do not look very high quality.
The previews have been optimised so that they are served quickly to your browser and are considerably lower quality than those used for production. Finished products will be significantly sharper, clearer and more beautiful.
Can I license an image for commercial use?
Many of the images on this site are available for license. If you can't find the image you are looking for, send us details confirming the license requirement and we will try to assist. Alternatively you can also find a range of images for license at License Storehouse
Can the products be resold?
All products sold are for personal use only and cannot be reproduced or resold in any way. If you wish to commercialize an image or product please Contact Us with the details
Do you have a shop I can visit?
No, we are web-based only.
Where are you based?
We have offices in the UK and Australia and work with image partners from around the world delivering quality products produced in professional and specialised production facilities located in the UK, USA and Australia.
How do I get in touch with you?
The quickest way is online by contacting our customer service department and providing all the details in the form provided at the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page.

Rule #1 - Be Patient - Rule #2 - Don't ask when, if you don't contribute - Rule #3 - You have coding skills - LinuxMCE's small brother is available: http://www.agocontrol.com
I used to be an IT guy (self taught) and now I'm a construction worker! How do you like that? In my 18 years in IT (ten years ago – economy here) I never ever responded as unprofessionally as golgoj4's response even when a user was a jerk like me. It's bad PR for the project. He has to realize that he's part of the team and his behavior reflects on the entire project.
OK, as I said in my last post I didn't go about my comments the way I should have; I was pretty frustrated about all the inconsistent results I would get from the same exact installs. But again, my main points (which were lost in between my rants) are some pretty basic things that could make LMCE easier for newbies to get into: 1. "Download" link takes you to a page with broken links; 2. "Snapshot" link on the Download page takes you to a directory listing with no recommendation on which download to pick; 3. No link (like YouTube videos show previously) to any type of installation instructions until you go to Support, Wiki, Download, instructions; 4. *My Main Point* Why not just tell people that you're short on help and not to expect the install to work right the first time? Why not tell people to not click too quickly through the setup because background things are still going on? Tell us to be patient. Sorry, but the YouTube videos really set you up at a high standard.I used to be an IT guy (self taught) and now I'm a construction worker! How do you like that? In my 18 years in IT (ten years ago – economy here) I never ever responded as unprofessionally as golgoj4's response even when a user was a jerk like me. It's bad PR for the project. He has to realize that he's part of the team and his behavior reflects on the entire project. Sure, I was a *jerk*, but he outdid me by far. When I do IT stuff (unpaid) for friends and even friends of friends, I don't get upset when they are confused or even when they get upset. Sure, I feel it all inside, but never express it to them.
I've been observing this project with interest for a while. I've written about this before, and have been ignored/flamed consistently for my unpopular ideas, but I repeat it here for you since it's relevant and may help you understand your frustration. This is my honest reflection on things:Almost every project contributor is a developer involved in the technical aspects. It can be argued that these devs, stressed to their limits with workload, do not make good PR people (understandable!). I've said before that the project could use some professional grade marketing and PR (among other help), but the devs who have claimed ownership of the project through their contributions are not amenable to restructuring things. They like the status quo (with exception to their work load and the lack of new help coming in), and they like to try to wear as many different hats themselves as possible (coding, UI design, marketing, PR, project management, etc).I argue that the team does not place enough value in PR. As I understand it, most feel that the technical merits/achievements of the project speak for themselves and should almost be the sole focus of the project (as evidenced by the meritocracy system in place, where only impressive technical contributions earn you a voice in the project). While the technical merits of the project do indeed attract like-minded people (technically skilled / developers) the lack of PR focus does alienate the larger novice user base. I fear that unless there is some change, LinuxMCE will remain a (very cool) research platform for new smart home technologies. Commercial products from Apple, Logitech, Microsoft, etc will borrow/steal ideas from it (this is already happening). Their products will be adopted by users on a scale many orders of magnitude beyond LinuxMCE, despite being technically inferior. The big corps will take all the credit (and money).I don't get the sense that the LinuxMCE community minds the prospect of losing out to inferior competition however. Each individual member takes solace in knowing LinuxMCE is technically superior, and to take the necessary measures to achieve widespread adoption, they feel, is tantamount to "selling-out" (or something...).
Well you've managed to get through your install - your issues couldn't have been THAT major, considering you made your first post only yesterday. May I ask why you felt you couldn't just ask the relevant questions, and instead signed up a new account (I'm assuming) in order to make these comments anonymously?As for the wiki, I tried to put myself in the shoes of a brand new user trying to download LMCE for the first time, and I genuinely didn't feel that it was too difficult. I guess the main page could be better organised for people that just want to quickly get up and running, but then that said, this isn't the kind of system that one can just "quickly get up and running". There is a certain amount of reading around/research that should, no, MUST be done before installing. Everybody expects it to be like a standard Ubuntu release i.e. don't do any research, burn it, bang it in the drive, and away you go, no issues. LMCE is not like that, because it's insanely complicated, AND the team working on it is a fraction of the size.At the end of the day, if you feel that any wiki pages aren't as good as they could be, then why don't you change it? Or if you don't feel happy doing this off the bat, post on the forum for some advice or hold a little poll to see what people think would be best, and THEN make the changes. Either way, it's up to the likes of me and you to do these kinds of tasks, because for people who CAN code, it's not a good use of their time. If they spent all their time updating wiki pages, then you wouldn't have a working install, and we wouldn't now have a RC.Cheers,Matt.
Maybe we should add something to track and fix wiki pages that appear out of date. these could be assigned to non-coders to do some research and fix them.Valent (I think) added the box at the top which says which version it is applicable which was a good startAny thoughts?

In 2002, the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) was actively engaged in a yearlong planning process to help the institute determine its role in the new era of genomics research that has followed the completion of the Human Genome Project (HGP) in the spring of 2003. The following is an overview of that planning process.
Established in 1989, the NHGRI has led the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) component of the HGP. The NHGRI's Division of Extramural Research (DER) has funded HGP research in laboratories throughout the nation and has coordinated these efforts with those of its partners in the international HGP. The activities of the NHGRI and the HGP have included genetic and physical mapping, DNA sequencing, database development, technology development, and studies of the ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of genome research and genetics.
In February 1993, the NHGRI expanded its role by establishing the Division of Intramural Research (DIR), a cutting-edge program that translates the products of the HGP into knowledge about human genetic disease and its prevention, diagnosis and treatment. The division serves as the hub for human genetics and genomics research on the NIH campus.
Through its Office of the Director, the NHGRI performs important coordination, leadership, planning, policy analysis and communication functions. The office conducts and coordinates policy analysis and development related to human genome research. It also carries out a broad communications program aimed at disseminating information about the HGP and the science and policies of NHGRI and genomics.
Two five-year plans (1994-1998, 1998-2003), which set ambitious goals to achieve the objectives of the HGP and to advance understanding of the human genome and its associated ethical, legal and social implications have guided the institute since its inception. These plans have been instrumental to the success of the HGP, by clearly enumerating the program objectives of the U.S. component of the HGP to the scientific community and the public and by providing measurable objectives to guide the work and gauge the progress of the HGP.
The 1998-2003 plan, published in Science in 1998, emphasized the sequencing of the human genome. The plan accelerated the previously scheduled completion of the human genome sequence by two years, to the end of 2003. It also maintained enhanced training of scientists and clinicians in genomics, technology development for DNA sequencing, and research in bioinformatics, computational biology and ELSI as NHGRI objectives, while adding goals for technology development in functional genomics, and research in human sequence variation and comparative genomics.
The 1998-2003 goals set out for the ELSI research program included examination of issues surrounding the completion of the human genome sequence and the study of human genetic variation; the integration of genetic technologies and information into health care and public health activities; the integration of knowledge about genomics and gene-environment interactions into nonclinical settings; the ways in which new genetic knowledge may interact with a variety of philosophical, theological, and ethical perspectives; and how socioeconomic factors and concepts of race and ethnicity influence the use, understanding, and interpretation of genetic information, the utilization of genetic services, and the development of policy.
When the 2002 planning process was initiated, almost all of the goals of the 1998-2003 plan were either accomplished or on a clear path towards completion. Thus, the time had again come to examine the current state of the institute and the field of genomics and to think creatively about the exciting possibilities that lie ahead for genomics and its applications to human health. This was an opportunity to think boldly and broadly about where genomics is heading and how the NHGRI could best facilitate its continuing prosperity. Unlike previous five-year plans, this planning effort explored all components of the institute: the extramural research program, the intramural research program, and the activities of the Office of the Director.
To launch this process, the institute invited a group of experts in genomics, its applications in biology and medicine, and its ethical, legal and policy implications to a kick-off meeting at the Airlie Conference Center in Warrenton, Va. in December 2001. The purpose of the meeting was to identify the predominant themes that would emerge in genomics research over the next ten to 20 years, without regard to which of these might be appropriate for the NHGRI to pursue. A number of specific areas of genomic research were identified for further exploration. Over the course of 2002, a series of workshops further explored the ambitious, high-risk, and high-payoff ideas that resulted from this conference.
The workshops, held on the dates indicated below, addressed the following questions:
Planning Process Workshop Timeline
In November 2002, NHGRI convened a second Airlie conference to summarize and synthesize the findings and recommendations that came out of these workshops. Following this, the institute wrote a new plan outlining its vision for the future of genomics research. The NHGRI published this plan in April 2003, a month that also witnessed the 50th anniversary of the publication of the structure of DNA, the seminal work of James Watson and Francis Crick, and the completion of a finished sequence of the human genome.

Oscar Granny
Granny Freeze Nicole Kidman was freshly frozen for the Oscars and presented alongside The Women to Kate Winslet. I do love how they held hands and welcomed her to the community. And though I rag on her often, Gran is one of the few who can almost always pull off feathers. Her dress was magnificent. Especially from the back.
But, like, would it have killed her to deliver her introduction of Angelina Jolie with a little more enthusiasm? She didn't mean a word of it. Which prompted of course Angie's fake smile in return. Someone wrote to me that it was because Granny normally wears glasses when she reads and so was having a hard time following the prompter…
Well then put on your glasses you vain bitch!
Anyway, afterwards Gran and Keith Urban hit up the Vanity Fair party, reconnecting with the A list and mingling with the elite. Where she belongs. Nicole Kidman is Hollywood. Nicole Kidman is not Nashville. Nicole Kidman is also super tight with Rupert Murdoch – they were photographed all chatty chatty together at the event – a fact that is not punched out as much as it should be. Granny is well connected. And she is not afraid to call in her favours when it comes to movie reviews, interviews, positive press, and more.
Let's enjoy some more Sophia Loren, shall we?
We don't need a reason.

you look amazing, the dress is stunning
Is that a cello?? The dress is very pretty
(ps. it's a guitar)
you look absolutely beautiful and the dress is a knock-out.
I'm glad you finally put on the dress. If you had any lingering fears about not being able to do it justice…let them all go. You are beautiful.
that is just ridiculously beautiful. i love it!
Gorgeous! Love the shoeboots too!
You look amazing and that dress is just killer!
As others have already said, you're beautiful in that dress. I'm so glad you posted these. I've been curious ever since you described the dress.
wow… you look fabulous!!! What a fitting tribute to his talent. You make it shine!
WOWWWW!!! I LOVE these photos Steve took of you! The dress is sooo AMAZING!=)
a beautiful combo! you certainly do it justice
thought it was going to have a hangman's noose on it….thought this was a joke my mistake sorry….why did he kill himself anyway?
You look absolutely gorgeous!
both you and that dress are gorgeous!!
PAW (head exploding)
Oh wow that dress looks beautiful on you.
Absolutely stunning, you and the dress both.
RIP McQueen
@bobbay: YES! I always do the Girl!!! (back of head exploding) when anything blows my mind, but sadly, only a few people usually know what I'm talking about.
The back of that dress is mesmerizing.
The dress is absolutely beautiful and you wear it very well. Reminds me of a Man Ray photograph. Back to lurking now…
I'm glad you put on the Lee McQueen dress finally. It may have cost a fortune, but enjoy the money you spent on it by wearing it out. Wear the dress, and wear it as many times as you can. Bring it and wear it on your tour!
I made the mistake of hoarding some wonderful clothing and then realizing that I can't fit into it, and wear it anymore. Don't make the same mistake. Unless you plan to resell it or gift it to someone else, why deprive yourself of wearing something that you love?
ur so pretty!!~~ The dress is so sexy. (:
OMG! Margaret, you look absolutely stunning!!!! Wow!
Love ya!

HOLT � The Economic Development Council of Okaloosa County has proposed a five-year property tax abatement for a Holt business looking to expand its operations.
HOLT � The Economic Development Council of Okaloosa County has proposed a five-year property tax abatement for a Holt business looking to expand its operations.
Okaloosa County commissioners are scheduled to discuss the tax break Tuesday at their meeting in Crestview.
Under the proposal, the company would get a $45,000 abatement on tangible personal property taxes from 2014 to 2018. The abatement would apply only to tangible personal property not currently on the tax rolls.
The EDC has asked the county to pay $9,000, or 20 percent, of the tax break while the state would pay the remaining $36,000, or 80 percent.
Read a copy of the agenda request and other documents.
The state arrived at the $45,000 total by allocating $3,000 for each of the 15 new jobs the company has said it would add.
Commissioner Wayne Harris said the proposed tax abatement makes sense for a county looking to generate more jobs.
�It�s a small amount of money we give up over a period of time and really negligible in the scheme of things for greater benefits later on,� he said. �These people are needing some breaks, and if they create jobs for our citizens, that�s a good thing.�
With every new job, the area gets a person, or family, who might go out and buy a house or spend money in other ways across the community, Harris added.
He said tax abatements are �the cost of doing business� today.
The EDC has not released the name of the Holt business because state statutes require confidentiality.
Under the proposal, the new jobs would pay an average salary of $50,750.
If commissioners approve moving forward with the tax abatement, the board would have to schedule a public hearing on the matter.

quote:
In the end of the day, if you believe in evolution, you are an Atheist. If you believe that Jesus came to die for you, you are a Christian.
If the Christians are wrong in the end, nothing lost. I will end up as a butterfly of just cease to exist.
But if everyone else is wrong, they will spend all of eternity in hell

This has been covered many times, but I'll reiterate my position on the matter.
Atheism and Christianity aren't the only two systems of belief in the world, by a long shot. You're saying that you're covered, but wait, wait if Christianity isn't right? What if the Muslims are right? What are you doing to cover this eventuality?
It's worth nothing that less than one third of the Earth's population is actually Christian (quoted from Christian sources which are invariably optimistic) - It's a bit harsh for an all loving God to condemn 67% of his children to eternal damnation, particularly those who haven't even heard of him.
In short, believing in something "just in case it's right" is no basis for rational argument. What if I tell you that unless you poured peanut butter over your head five times a week, you will burn in hell forever? You cannot prove that I'm not right, so are you going to do it, just in case?

What is Object-Relational Mapping
Object-relational mapping or ORM is the category of products that provide services to map objects to relational databases. The Java Persistence API (JPA) is the Java specification that provides a standard to ORM in Java. JPA provides both a standard mapping definition (through annotations or XML) and a standard runtime API and object-level query language (JPQL). JPA is part of the EJB specification and JEE platform, but can also be used in JSE.
EclipseLink provides sophisticated and high performance object-relational mapping services and complete support for the JPA specification. JPA objects are mapped through the package javax.persistence annotations and JPA persistence.xml and orm.xml. EclipseLink also provides extended annotations through the package org.eclipse.persistence.annotations. JPA provides a runtime API through the EntityManager class in the javax.persistence package. EclipseLink also provides extended runtime API through the package org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.
EclipseLink also provides a POJO ORM API and mapping model which its JPA support is based on. The mapping model classes are in the org.eclipse.persistence.descriptors and org.eclipse.persistence.mappings packages, and sessions.xml and project.xml files. The runtime API is provided through the Session and UnitOfWork classes in the org.eclipse.persistence.sessions package.
What are the Best Practices for using EclipseLink JPA?
See EclipseLink JPA Best Practices.
Migrating to EclipseLink JPA
How do I migrate from using Oracle TopLink to EclipseLink?
See Oracle TopLink
How do I migrate from using TopLink Essentials to EclipseLink?
How do I migrate from another JPA provider to EclipseLink?
See JPA Migration
What databases are supported?
EclipseLink supports any relational database that is compliant with SQL and has a compliant JDBC driver. EclipseLink has extended support for several database platforms. The extended support mainly consists of providing native sequencing support, schema creation, and certain database functions. These platform classes can be found in the
org.eclipse.persistence.platform.database and
org.eclipse.persistence.platform.database.oracle packages.
These include:
- Oracle
- Oracle JDBC (8, 9, 10, 11)
- MySQL
- PostgreSQL
- Derby
- DB2 (mainframe)
- Microsoft SQL Server
- Sybase
- Informix
- SQL Anywhere
- Firebird
- Microsoft Access
- Attunity
- Cloudscape
- DBase
- PointBase
- TimesTen
- Symfoware
- MaxDB
It also possible to extend EclipseLink to add extended support for additional platforms. There are also several user contributed platforms in the EclipseLink incubator project, see Platform Incubator.
EclipseLink has extended support for Oracle JDBC drivers. Including:
- LOB's
- NChar's
- XMLType's
- TIMESTAMP (TZ, LTZ)'s
- Native batch writing
- Structured object-relational data-types
- PLSQL data-types and stored procedures
- VPD, RAC, proxy authentication
- XDK XML parser
EclipseLink also has support for structure object-relational data-types and databases, and Enterprise Information Systems (EIS, legacy datasources and messaging platforms).
How is EclipseLink integrated with the Oracle database?
EclipseLink is completely independent from, but also tightly integrated with the Oracle database. EclipseLink has extended support for most Oracle SQL, JDBC and database extensions.
EclipseLink's extended support for the Oracle database includes:
- LOB's
- NChar's
- XMLType's
- TIMESTAMP (TZ, LTZ)'s
- Native batch writing
- Structured object-relational data-types
- PLSQL data-types and stored procedures
- VPD, RAC, proxy authentication
- XDK XML parser
- Hierarchical selects (Select by prior)
- Returning clause
- Flashback history and queries
- Stored procedures, output parameters and output cursors
- Stored functions
- Oracle AQ
How to access table, column and schema information at runtime?
EclipseLink stores the mapping metadata from the JPA annotations and orm.xml in its
ClassDescriptor and
DatabaseMapping objects.
These objects can be accessed at runtime from the
EntityManager or
EntityManagerFactory by casting or unwrapping to the EclipseLink JPA interface.
EntityManager em = getEntityManager(); String table = em.unwrap(JpaEntityManager.class).getServerSession().getDescriptor(MyClass.class).getTables().get(0).getName(); String schema = em.unwrap(JpaEntityManager.class).getServerSession().getDescriptor(MyClass.class).getTables().get(0).getTableQualifier(); String column = em.unwrap(JpaEntityManager.class).getServerSession().getDescriptor(MyClass.class).getMappingForAttributeName("myAttribute").getField().getName();
If you use JPA annotations, you may also be able to access specified schema information using Java reflection to access your annotation objects.
The JPA 2.0 metamodel can also be used to provide information on how the attributes are mapped (but not their database schema information).
You can also use native SQL queries to query your database catalogs for schema information, or use the JDBC connection metadata APIs. EclipseLink also exposes the JDBC catalog APIs through its
SchemaManager class.
How to access the JDBC connection?
Sometimes when using JPA it may be required to have lower level access to your database through JDBC. If you are using a JEE DataSource, you can just access the same DataSource that JPA uses, if it is a JTA DataSource it will be in the same transaction context as JPA.
If you are not using a DataSource, or want the same connection in the same transaction as JPA, you can obtain the JDBC Connection from the EntityManager.
See, Getting a JDBC Connection from an EntityManager
How to disable or enable weaving?
In a Java SE environment weaving is not enabled by default. This can affect LAZY OneToOne, ManyToOne and Basic relationships. It also has a major effect on performance and disable attribute change tracking.
To enable weaving in Java SE, the EclipseLink agent must be used when starting the Java VM.
java -javaagent:eclipselink.jar
Spring could also be used to allow JPA weaving in Java SE.
Static weaving can also be used to weave your jar.
See, How to Configure Static Weaving
In a Java EE environment weaving is enabled by default (on any JEE EJB 3.0 fully compliant app server, Weblogic, Webspehere, Glassfish. JBoss does not allow weaving so you must use static weaving or Spring).
To disable weaving the weaving persistence unit property can be used,
<property name="eclipselink.weaving" value="false">
For more information on weaving see the EclipseLink UserGuide, Using EclipseLink JPA Weaving
Are stored procedures and triggers supported?
EclipseLink has extended support for stored procedures and triggers.
Stored procedures are support through the @NamedStoredProcedureQuery, StoredProcedureCall, StoredFunctionCall and PLSQLStoredProcedureCall classes.
The following stored procedures features are supported:
- IN parameters
- OUT parameter
- INOUT parameters
- result sets
- CURSOR OUT parameters
- Object-relational datatypes (Struct, Array)
- Oracle PLSQL types such as TABLE, RECORD, BOOLEAN
- Using a stored procedure in a named query
- Using a stored procedure in a dynamic query
- Using a stored procedure to override an Entity's persist, update, remove or find query.
- Using a stored procedure to override a mapping's select, insert or delete query.
- Stored functions
- Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, Sybase, DB2, other stored procedure capable platforms
Triggers can be used in the tables being processed by EclipseLink.
If a trigger is updating data required back in the application, or the id, the @ReturnInsert, @ReturnUpdate or ReturningPolicy can be used the return the values updated by the trigger.
