Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Wednesday showed he has made headway in his effort to make reforms at the Pentagon when he restored to the Air Force authority to procure its own plane, after stripping it of that power a year ago.
His action will allow the Air Force, which has experienced several black eyes under Mr. Gates's tenure, to once again take charge of finding a contractor to replace its 50-year-old fleet of aerial refuelers, or tankers.
It's a decision that is more than a bureaucratic adjustment, pointing to a broader shift at the Pentagon, where the defense secretary has sought to trim excess, cut ineffective programs, and tighten budget screws. In giving back to the Air Force its authority to conduct the competition to buy its plane, Gates is signaling that he is coming to trust the Defense Department he is helping to reshape.
Among his reforms so far is a budget plan that cuts many spending programs – including many prominent Air Force ones. He has also made accountability a priority, firing senior officials and military leaders to put his own people in key spots. Some critics suggest he is too hard on the Air Force, in part because he has few Air Force aides and therefore doesn't fully understand its culture.
Others see a service that needed reining in. A year ago, Gates's frustration with the Air Force boiled over, and he snatched away its oversight of the tanker program in a vote of no confidence in the service and its leadership. A government watchdog agency had concluded that the bidding process – in which the multibillion-dollar contract was awarded to Northrop Grumman and its France-based partner EADS over US-based Boeing Co. – was flawed.
That ended a seven-year bid to replace the tanker plane that had been marred by fits and starts, sweetheart deals for defense contractors, nepotism, and, ultimately, jail time for at least one top Air Force official.
Since then, Gates has replaced the Air Force's top uniformed officer and top civilian leader and has begun to inculcate in the service a culture seen by some experts as having more common sense. His announcement that the Air Force would again oversee the competition for the plane, known as the KC-X, indicates that Gates sees his reform efforts as bearing fruit.
"We are committed to the integrity of the selection process and cannot afford the kind of letdowns, parochial squabbles, and corporate food-fights that have bedeviled this effort in the past," Gates said Wednesday during remarks at the Air Force Association annual convention near Washington. "I have confidence that the KC-X selection authority is in good hands with the service's leadership team of Secretary [Michael] Donley and General [Norton] Schwartz."
The Air Force will in coming weeks release its specifications for the kind of plane it wants. Contractors, in turn, will submit bids to build it. Military officials hope it will be in the air in the next few years.
But Gates's move may not satisfy critics of the tanker competition. Sen. Patty Murray (D) of Washington, who represents a state where many Boeing jobs reside, worries that the competition is already tilted against Boeing. She cites a World Trade Organization ruling that the European Union is providing illegal subsidies to help the European aerospace firm Airbus, which owns EADS.
"Will the playing field be leveled," she asks, "so that the Air Force purchases the aircraft that not only best meets its requirements [but also] is also a wise use of US taxpayer dollars now and into the future of the KC-X procurement?"

Mayer Brown has experience in many specific matters. Search the entire list.
Mayer Brown has more than 250 lawyers ranked by Chambers worldwide and more than 150 Peer Review Rated lawyers in Martindale Hubbell.
The Notice of Public Hearing and Consultation No. 31/2014 of the National Agency for Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels ("ANP") was published on December 31, 2014, in order to propose the draft of a new Resolution to regulate the construction, expansion and operation of storage and transportation facilities for oil, natural gas, oil products, biofuels and other products regulated by the ANP ("Products"), revoking Ordinance ANP No. 170/1998 ("Ordinance").
The draft of the Resolution was made available on January 05, 2015 and reflects the most recent legislative changes, particularly the enactment of Law No. 11.909/2009 (Gas Law), its Regulating Decree and Law No. 12.490/2011, which amended Law No. 9.478/1997 (Oil Law), as well as the experience acquired by ANP in the analysis of projects submitted for granting authorization to construct, expand and operate based on the current Ordinance.
The draft of the new Resolution reiterates the understanding, currently applied by ANP, that the construction, extension and operation of facilities and transference and production flow pipelines associated to areas under the exploration, development and production agreement must be bound to the relevant Development Plan, in accordance with Ordinance ANP No. 90/2000. The draft of the Resolution proposed by the Notice of Public Hearing and Consultation No. 31/2014 (Resolution not yet published), already refers to the specific documentation to be presented during the Development Phase for approval of the construction and operation of such facilities and pipelines.
Therefore, according to the provisions of the Gas Law and its Regulating Decree, the new Resolution will apply only in relation to natural gas transport pipelines subject to the authorization regime, excluding those subject to the concession regime.
The requirement to obtain authorizations for storage and handling of Products not expressly described in the draft of the new Resolution will be assessed on a case by case basis by ANP.
The proposal also introduces a new regime of prior registration of the company or consortium interested in obtaining authorization from ANP, regardless of not having all the listed documentation required, but the company must ensure registration is kept up to date. The draft of the new Resolution also introduces new rules on decommissioning of facilities and the authorization procedure for the transfer of ownership, subject to prior assessment of ANP and compliance with the new Resolution's requirements.
The Public Consultation started on January 5, 2015, and will last for 30 (thirty) days with the Public Hearing being held on March 11, 2015, from 14hrs to 17hrs, in ANP's auditorium.

British jewellery designer Alex Monroe grew up in Suffolk surrounded by fields, rivers and the plants and creatures which inhabit them. He trained at Sir John Cass School Of Art in London, and his whimsical and intricately beautiful jewellery is inspired by his abundant lush surroundings. Established in 1986, his distinctive designs have earned him many admirers and a loyal following among celebrities. He has also collaborated with the Victoria & Albert Museum, who asked him to design a limited edition commemorative locket. Other diverse projects include an 18ct gold poppy for the British Legion, a range for Kew Gardens, a bottle for the classic British perumiers Penhaligons, and a Burt's Bees limited edition ring and necklace to raise funds and awareness for the British Beekeepers Association. In the middle of all this, Alex's objectives have stayed strong and true. Rather than compromise quality craftmanship and have the jewellery produced in a factory, every unique item is still hand made in Alex's London studios by skilled craftspeople. The creative process means that he always makes the original piece by hand in sterling silver, which gives his work its distinctive signature and stunning organic detailing. Alex Monroe's jewellery that is charmingly quirky, sometimes cute, but always very feminine and very wearable.More from Alex Monroe

A tidbit fact: Temporary, orange tipped wires were easier to insert and remove. They were used a lot during the testing and design programming phase. Permanent wires the ones with no orange ends were used after a programmer was sure that the program was working right. The permanent wires were inserted with the red wire punch tool and also were remove from the back with the same tool.

Urara would really like to be a normal high school girl, but her mad scientist older sister and mother make this a difficult goal. For their latest experiment, they've fused Urara's neighbor and childhood friend Takaharu into Urara's body. After discovering this, Urara destroyed some of the experimental apparatus in a fit of rage, leaving them stuck with each other for the time being. Takaharu is a high school graduate who sells erotic manga while waiting to retake his college entrance exams. Takaharu takes over Urara's body when she falls asleep or passes out, and, to Urara's embarrassment, has been using it as source material for his manga. Will the two of them be able to deal with sharing a body until Urara's family can put things right?

Exploring the Spectrum of Fear
In preparing to co-teach a Level II Shambhala Training program this last weekend, I did a lot of reading about, contemplating and meditating on fear. Trungpa Rinpoche says that fear is our main reason to build a cocoon, a wall of habits and tendencies that give us a protective sense of solid self.
But of course, fear is not just one thing.
I began my talk about fear by asking if anyone was experiencing it during meditation. At first, students couldn't relate to the word fear. But in my talk on the cocoon, I asked them if they were experiencing any anxiety while meditating? Not many responses. But then irritation? Some head nods. And finally, worry? Were any of them worrying? Everyone's heads nodded, total agreement across the board.
I delivered the news to them: bad and good - worry is fear.
Worry is fear in a minute form, a micro-fear.*
If we say that terror is at one end of the spectrum - sheer terror, knife at back horror - then stress, anxiety and worry are at the other. Don't get me wrong - I know that due to trauma and myriad other reasons, anxiety or panic can feel like total terror to the system, even if there is no threat present. I am not minimizing anxiety, nor do I think it needs to be. Rather, if we can understand that all of these are on a spectrum together, we can start working with them more carefully and gently.
Current anxieties often have deep roots to earlier traumas, like the mycelium connections between fungi we are just starting to understand. Even if not causally related - afraid to fly, aka phobia, because brother died in a plane - our susceptibility to anxiety and stress is definitely partially shaped by a presence of exposure to real fear/loss/trauma in our past.
I gave the example when I shared with a student about how for a long time I couldn't bear any exposure to any of my feelings - protecting them with a cocoon to help muffle any feelings at all - because I was afraid they would all lead back to my grief over my parents' deaths. At times that would happen - I would get turned down for a date and wind up in a black hole of endless loneliness, at least partially, physically tied to those huge early losses.
What has also happened over time is that I have developed resilience by practicing with "the small stuff" - those same stresses/anxieties can also help inoculate me to go back into the big stuff with more strength and core power.
Even though we may not be thinking about the worst thing that has ever happened to us while meditating, very often the vulnerability of the posture - legs and arms open and resting - brings up anxiety, fear, stress. Being exposed to these in the lower doses - though, let's face it, normally we hope to not expose ourselves to them at all - helps us develop a tolerance for going deeper.
Seeing stress as something that arises out of deeper fears - fears of death, fears of loss, fears of impermanence - can seem really overwhelming at first. Bit by bit, we work our way through these stresses, see that the core feeling of fear is the same for all of them. As we carefully, gently dismantle the cocoon that tries to keep us from feeling, because we fear that vulnerability means death, we start to really live.
It takes a long time and a lot of practice, but having freedom to explore the spectrum of fear gives us the flexibility we need to do more than survive: to thrive.
*More on the language and coding of how we talk about fear at this wonderful article by the author of Dance of Anger, Harriet Lerner.

Modern Furniture
By pallas :: 31/03/2011 at 1:44
The first pieces of
modern event furniture
are designed and manufactured in the ages 19 and 20. While most audacious classic furniture outlets appeared before the mid 20 th century, furniture continues to evolve today. Modern furniture features a functional design with clean, simple lines, a sharp contrast to the highly ornate furniture decoration that was popular for centuries. European designers introduced the unique style, but interest in modern furniture quickly spread to Los Angeles, New York and other U.S. cities.
Through the use of new methods and materials, furniture design combines art with technology. Designers use innovative materials such as plastics, molded plywood and steel, all suitable for mass production. By reducing costs and increasing the availability of parts, mass production brought modern design accessible to ordinary people. Fine furniture was no longer a luxury only for the rich, instead of symbolizing the richness of age, power and furniture is contemporary and populist past and present oriented.
Modern furniture designers around the globe. The famous chair designs of the German-American architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe were considered functional art when they came to the design scene in the 1920's. Isamu Noguchi, American and Japanese descent, he used his talent in landscape design and sculpture to create furniture with organic lines and natural. Irish-born Eileen Gray combined steel and glass tube in an adjustable table surprisingly simple. The Hungarian modernist Marcel Breuer used industrial production principles to create simple modular forms. Millwright poet Herman Miller was one of the first design office furniture comfortable and functional, the company he founded now operates in over 40 countries around the world.
Good Luck

Video Editing
has revolutionized the concept of picture-making. It has equipped a photographer to produce high quality video films or images. One can apply sound or visual effects to the images and videos by using state-of-art video editing tools. You may choose any kind of computer program for video editing but you should be able to learn and master the techniques of editing of a video. Your expertise and proficiency in creating a mesmerizing film or photograph is what matters more.
Video Editing
is a process of editing segments of motion video footage and applying special effects. The special effects can include the visual or sound effects. The main aim of editing a film or an image is to communicate to the audiences or viewers the thought or perspective of a photographer. You can shoot a film scene and then upload it on your tool for the purpose of editing. A person can use visual and audio effects by applying music tracks, transitions, titles, sound effects, and much more. You can apply fade in and fade out effects for introducing a new scene. There are many other effects such as overlaying the end of one scene or an image over the other scene or image. This kind of overlaying effect implies smooth transition from one scene to another and you can communicate easily the passage of time. Many tools equip a user to adjust the brightness, contrast and saturation level of the colors. Such kind of adjustment enables a user to add visual effects to the films, documentaries or photographs. There are many different computer programs that provide a user with audio and video mix. This is done for synchronization of the visual effect. You can style the film in your own way and create a unique visual art which makes sense as well as communicates a significant meaning or theme.

1st winter signing? – Arsenal set to complete 200,000-A-Week For Wilshere
Manchester City are apparently observing a move for Gunners Star Jack Wilshere.
Pepe Guardiola is said to be intense to reinforce his midfield options, particularly with Ilkay Gundogan out wounded and Yaya Toure's long-term future at Man City uncertain
Wenger permitted the 24 year old to join Bournemouth on a campaign –long loan during the summer in search on regular game time.
The injury-plagued midfielder has made 13 appearances for the Cherries, registering a sole assist in the process.
There are just 18 months left to run on his Arsenal contract but Wenger has already confirmed that he will soon be offered a new deal at the Emirates.
"Yes of course [we will offer him a new deal]," he told Standard Sport last month. "At the moment, I leave him to deal with his manager.
"Every week I ask, 'How did he play?', I read the reports and when I can see highlights or watch him on television, I will watch him.
"I'm happy that he hasn't had any injuries since he left us."

KKR Team Squad For IPL 2018: Final List of Kolkata Knight Riders Players After Auctio
New Delhi: Kolkata Knight Riders' choice of players proved that the franchise was most calculative at IPL 2018 auction. KKR, which is owned by actor Shah Rukh Khan, made sure that they have the right composure and balance as they picked some of the most talented players, which include both, experienced players as well as youngsters with less or no IPL experience.
KKR retained West Indian superstars Andre Russell and Sunil Narine but failed to keep their skipper Gautam Gambhir in the squad, who was sold to Delhi Daredevils. The Kolkata based franchise bought Australian batsman Chris Lynn and fast bowler Mitchell Starc for Rs9.6 crore and Rs 9.4 crore respectively. Two-time champions, KKR also bought all-rounder young Kamlesh Nagarkoti, who is dubbed as India's next bowling sensation as he bowls consistently in excess of 145kph. Nitish Rana is the other all-rounder bought by the team.
Meanwhile, wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik became KKR's costliest player at whopping Rs 7.4 crore, followed by swashbuckling batsman Robin Uthappa. The franchise also got back their spin twins Piyush Chawla and Kuldeep Yadav using RTM (Right to Match).

Devoted dad Neil Baird has finally jetted off on his first foreign holiday with his son - after convincing authorities he's the lad's real father.
Last month, the Chronicle revealed how his week-long trip to Magaluf, with son Nathan, was in jeopardy.
Despite many frantic phone calls, officials at the Passport Office demanded extra proof of Nathan's parentage because his surname is different to Neil's.
Now, after a last minute dash, the four-year-old's passport has been issued and the pair jetted off from Newcastle on Sunday.
Speaking before he left, a delighted Neil said: "I was jumping for joy when they finally rang me to tell me it was ready to be collected.
"I didn't think we were going to get it and Nathan would have been heartbroken if we'd had to cancel.
"The passport people had told us so many different things, it was a nightmare."
Neil, 25, split from his girlfriend shortly after Nathan was born. Because his name was not on the birth certificate, his son has his mother's surname, Vintis.
Despite winning custody of his son two years ago, officials demanded Neil prove he was his real dad.
After ringing the national passport helpline, Neil, of Collingwood Grange, Cramlington, was told he only needed to obtain a single letter from the Benefit Agency.
Next they said he needed a declaration from a solicitor costing £70. Finally, the furniture maker was informed that still wouldn't be enough.
A letter from Nathan's headteacher was requested but with his nursery on Easter vacation, Neil faced a difficult job to get hold of one.
Despite finally handing over the passport, no one has yet apologised to the family.
"The manager arranged to meet me when I went to Durham to pick it up but wasn't there when I arrived," Neil said.
"I think they've got to use a bit of common sense about these things because they wouldn't accept a fax on headed paper from the school. I had to send the original."

Hit's Fireman Sam takes to the road with Smyths
Hit Entertainment is teaming up with toy retailer Smyths for a special Fireman Sam roadshow, which will aim to promote outdoor and fire safety to young children.
The Fireman Sam Summer Safety Campaign will be launched across 11 Smyths outlets every weekend across the UK and Ireland until July 25th.
The events were first introduced in 2008 and aim to attract young Fireman Sam fans and their families in-store to learn about summer and fire safety, as well as showcase the product range.
The campaign will be supported by each local fire brigade, who will be on hand to offer essential safety information and give the opportunity to climb aboard a real working fire engine.
Smyths will promote the campaign throughout the store and online with special product promotions and giveaways including Fireman Sam stickers, reflective arm bands and safety tip leaflets.
The new CGI Fireman Sam series is currently being broadcast on Cartoonito daily and is the channel's highest ranking show for pre-schoolers.

DETROIT, Dec. 7, 2011 — /PRNewswire/ —
Ringing in 2012 has come early for the North American steel industry and the Steel Market Development Institute (SMDI), as editors at High Gear Media's The Car Connection have named the 2012 Ford Focus the "Best Car to Buy 2012" — due in part to the extensive use of higher-strength steels used on the vehicle.
According to Ford Motor Co., the 2012 Focus combines expressive design and an exceptional array of smart technologies, including high-strength steel, with high levels of craftsmanship and occupant safety, while delivering up to 40 mpg on the highway.
The Focus body shell consists of 55 percent high-strength steels, with ultra high-strength and boron steels making up more than 31 percent of the skeletal structure. These advanced steel technologies help the Focus meet crash regulations across world markets, while reducing the vehicle's weight and contributing to improved fuel economy.
"Ford's use of ultra high-strength steel in the 2012 Focus have resulted in a vehicle that not only is affordable and safe, but also fuel efficient and environmentally responsible," Ron Krupitzer, vice president, automotive applications for SMDI, said. "Their decision to incorporate lightweight steel technologies into their designs, demonstrates that steel continues to be the material of choice for automakers in terms of meeting aggressive safety and stringent fuel economy and emissions requirements — a clear best buy for consumers."
In addition, the Focus' vehicle structure achieves its excellent crash protection in part through a newly designed ultra high-strength steel B-pillar reinforcement produced using an innovative tailor rolling process. The process allows the thickness of the steel sheet to be varied along its length, so the component has increased strength in the areas that are subjected to the greatest loads.
The Car Connection is part of High Gear Media, a vertical media company publishing engaging, premium automotive content on some of the Web's fastest growing car websites, targeting key buyer and vehicle segments. Each year, The Car Connection team rates reviewed vehicles based on styling, performance, utility, safety and features to select its annual "Best Car to Buy."
The Steel Market Development Institute (SMDI), a business unit of the American Iron and Steel Institute, grows and maintains the use of steel through strategies that promote cost-effective solutions in the automotive, construction and container markets, as well as for new growth opportunities in emerging steel markets.

Us here at #BOSSBABE recently had a fun virtual chat with L.A. based artist and street art diva, Sand. You may have noticed her art decorating the streets of Los Angeles, flooding timelines on Instgram or being praised by people like Betsey Johnson. Sand's art has a very animated and girly touch to it that makes it pop and hard to forget.
Do you do anything special in the morning when you wake up to be this badass?
I check my emails. I call my shipping girl, Claudia, to make sure she's on point. I pet my dog. I make a smoothie. I close my eyes. Breathe. I think boss shit like "What's my goal for today? Tomorrow? All week?" Then I begin my day. All personal feelings get stored in a tiny box.
Artists get a bad wrap for just being romantics with a paint brush and unrealistic goals, how do you respond to those people?
I'm more of a business woman, then a romantic and finally an artist. I don't believe in being a starving artist. I have starved and I will never go back. Chanel, red wine, endless money and red bottoms forever!
Have you found that being a young female artist helps or hurts your way to success?
It's bias. Everyone tells me there's "enough time". All I see is I'm young and I want it now. There's no time. If you keep being comfortable and hiding behind your youth, you will age waiting. I want to be young and successful. You will always be younger than the elders in the game you're in. Don't let that be your comfort. Get it done.
A shy, talented girl wants to be artist too but she's extremely afraid of the criticisms. also-her parents would flip. What advice do you have for her?
Cut the bullshit and get it done. Shyness never took anyone anywhere. Be scared and stay mediocre.Be fearless. Keep opening doors. Create success and live a dream that becomes a reality with every step you take. Be outspoken. Be confident. It's all inside of you. It's a mentality. Believe you are a boss and you will own what's in front of you.
Who do you listen to or read when you're feeling low?
I go on Youtube and search for motivational videos. I look at successful people's traits. I watch TEDTalk videos on life experiences and ask successful people around me questions. I believe that the four people you hang out with the most is who you will become. Be selfish with your years. Cut loose losers. Only walk with ambitious positive move makers. If you walk with mediocre individuals that complain and believe nothing is possible then you will become like them. You can do it all!
What's the motto you live by?
Figure it out!!
What should all the Sand Fans be expecting next from your brilliance?
Well… lots of new clothing, art and products. Pillows, socks, underwear, shower curtains, toilet paper. Whatever I can think of. I will become the Hello Kitty-Coco Chanel of art.

Edinburgh Festival Fringe Scotsman review (theatre): So It Goes at Underbelly, Cowgate (Venue 61). Review by Susan Mansfield
Hannah Moss found it hard to talk about her grief at the death of her dad from cancer when she was 17. Now performing her own show about her experience seven years on, she takes that difficulty in communication and turns it into a strength.
There is almost no talking in So It Goes, performed by Hannah (as herself) and Lecoq-trained David Ralfe (as all the other characters). Words are written on whiteboards worn around the characters' necks, and appear on hand-crafted signs and flipcards, but mostly these serve to illustrate how inadequate words are when set against the enormity of what is being experienced.
The whiteboards, which accommodate only a few words at a time, have the effect of reducing speech to its starkest minimum – "Your dad died", "Can we talk?" – and leaving the silences in between to speak of the way that shock robs us of words, and grief distances us from one another. The moment of the terminal diagnosis is particularly poignant.
As well as some beautiful hand-made backdrops, So It Goes has many of the hallmarks of Lecoq-influenced theatre: running around to Charlie Chaplinesque piano music, inventive use of cutesy props, and a lot of smiling, which might at times seem at odds with the sadness of the material.
But the show is also a tribute to a man who lived, the keen runner who read philosophy books and danced, embarrassingly, to Shania Twain songs. Is it sentimental? Yes. But, honest, heartfelt and moving. And, in a near perfect marriage of form and subject, it is also a powerful expression of what happens in those moments when words fail us.
Until 24 August. Today 5:30pm, more info

When it comes to gifts, we all know that packaging is everything! You want to show the ones you love that you care just as much about what's inside as you do on their first impression, right?!
This box is super easy to put together and a good size for a lot of things, but will fit handmade cards and envelopes beautifully!
The belly band keeps this box closed and adding a 'thumb space' will help your recipient open your beautiful box to see what's inside even easier.
Made of our Under the Tree Specialty Designer Series Paper, this cardstock is extra heavy and perfect for box making. So here's how to make it!
You will need:
Card Stock measuring 12" X 8" for the box
Card Stock measuring 1" X 12" for the belly band
With your box card stock in portrait orientation (8" accross the top of your Simply Scored) score it at 1", then rotate 180 degrees and score at 1" again. So each side should have a 1" score mark
Then in landscape orientation score it at 1" and 5 1/2" on both sides.
Cut up on all of your score lines and trim out a small triangle to help your box go together better. This step isn't necessary, but it does help your box fit snug and look good.
Place Sticky Strip on your tabs, and bring up the sides to create your box. Before you attach the top of the box, be sure to punch out your thumb hole. You can do it after, but it's much easier before you assemble the box. I used the 1 3/8" circle punch but any circle or oval punch will work just fine.
The belly band is simply just bent around the box and attached with sticky strip. You want it to be snug around your box, but not so tight you can't easily slide it off.
The sentiment is from Mingle All the Way and stamped in Garden Green on Kraft Card Stock. I popped that image up on a 2 3/8" Red Glimmer Paper. I sponged the edges of the box and belly band with White Craft Ink.
What would you put in this box?

'additional supply depots required'
Nice work man!
I am Raygoza and keep contact with mod developers of mods I like, I like to help my offering suggestion and ideas. When it comes to modding I am not good at it, I am only able to change a few things in StarCraft and Homeworld 2.
'additional supply depots required'
Nice work man!
About those parts looking like tubes above the big fan were actually made by mistake, when you edit stuff with this low resolution you really have to zoom out to get the picture.
The hard thing to accomplis was making it small, since in the image it's actually leaning towards you a bit and that made it very hard to edit.
Now when the base design is made all that has to be done is adding the animations (same image with only the next frames of the moving parts from the normal Supply depot.
Unfortunately I do not work with Graphics, just saying that it would be easy for someone who knows to get it looking properly in game.
Only registered members can share their thoughts. So come on! Join the community today (totally free - or sign in with your social account on the right) and join in the conversation.
I worked on this for three hours to make a supply depot as small as an addon when it comes to graphics, I find it be very impressing.

Meralco continued to play well though crippled by injuries, scoring a second straight win in the 2011-12 PBA Philippine Cup with an 84-78 upset of B-Meg Saturday night at The Arena in San Juan.
The Bolts again put up a solid defensive job together and banked on Chico Lanete, Mark Isip, Mark Borboran and Asi Tauvala for the offensive firepower in chalking up a follow-up to their initial victory over the Shopinas.com Clickers Wednesday.
Lanete and Isip kept Meralco afloat with their torrid shooting in the first 40 minutes then Taulava and Borboran took over to deliver important baskets at the finish.
Lanete sizzled with 24 points, nine assists and three steals while Isip shone with 18 before Taulava and Borboran stepped in to fend off the Llamados' endgame chase.
Meralco caught up with Rain or Shine at third place with its second win after a losing debut versus Talk n Text. B-Meg, meanwhile, slid to joint seventh with Barangay Ginebra as it absorbed a second loss in three starts. For Meralco coach Ryan Gregorio, it's his second win in six matches with his former team. The Llamados had come to within one, 76-77, after falling behind by 12, 63-75, when Taulava and Borboran teamed up to bail their team out of imminent danger.
Taulava twice scored off Kerby Raymundo while Borboran scored on a layup after grabbing a loose ball as Meralco established a six-point cushion at 82-78 with time down to 1:32.
The Llamados failed to recover anymore with Mark Barroca and James Yap missing critical attempts in the face of Meralco's rock-solid defense.
Lanete stepped up big time early on, drilling in two triples and a charity as Meralco opened a 12-point spread at 75-63 with 8:41 left to play.
Earlier, Laneta and Isip fired 12 points each and Borboran added eight as the Bolts took the half at 45-41.
Both teams shot in the high 50s (field goal percentage) in the first half capped by Lanete with booming three-pointer. "I just did my job. We all know that we have to step up while playing without Mac Cardona, Sol Mercado and Chris Ross," said Lanete. (SB)
The scores: Meralco 84 – Lanete 24, Isip 18, Borboran 10, Taulava 8, Espinas 8, Yee 5, Omolon 5, Timberlake 4, Macapagal 2, Ballesteros 0.
B-Meg 78 – Yap J. 19, Raymundo 15, Devance 9, Reavis 8, Simon 7, Yap R. 5, Barroca 5, Pingris 4, Ferriols 4, Maierhofer 2, Urbiztondo 0.
Quarterscores: 17-15, 45-41, 68-60, 84-78

Let it settle, now,
gently over our shoulders
and between the pines.
Let it slide down
softly, now
flowing around fingers
entwined between our chairs.
Let it brush the backs of dragonflies
that swoop and hunt
so fierce
so fragile
above our heads.
Let it set the stage, now
for fireflies
and let me pin it
to the corner of your slow, sweet smile
with a kiss.
K.M. B. (aka Green Girl)
Awhile back, I said I would post my best friend's (award winning) poem once I had permission. I got permission but lost the poem. I just found it again. So here it is. My friend is shy, so I haven't used her real name. Around these parts, she is known as GG or Green Girl. I'm not sure why she's so shy. If I wrote poetry this good I'd be plastering my name all over it. Then again, that's always been the difference between us and, maybe, why we work. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Re: So tell me your tooth brushing routines (ages 2 and under)
Well, when our kids get teeth we brush starting at nightime. Jesse is 8months old and he has6 teeth and we are going to start very soon actually. My other kids brush thier own pretty well and then we assist at the end to get spots they may not reach so well. I used the training tooth past with them until they learned how to spit because I notice my one ds's breath stinking and as soon as we swithched to real tooth paste he smelled better,lol.. and by that time he could spit,lol..

Re: So tell me your tooth brushing routines (ages 2 and under)
DJ loves brushing his teeth so at bedtime, he gets to make funny faces while I brush for him, then he gets a turn brushing while I get my jamas on. I didn't have much luck with the little rubber finger brush thingy...my fingers are too big...but my dentist gave me a little baby toothbrush that works wonderfully. I had gotten a couple of tubes of the Orajel baby toothpaste along with shower gifts and free samples and we're still on those. DJ thinks it's candy...whatever works! I don't know why even though he's stopped drinking during the night, even when we brush his teeth at bedtime, he wakes up with his mouth smelling worse than his diaper!! It's positively FOUL!! So we usually brush again first thing in the morning. We're not as religious about it as we should be, especially we both have a family history of bad teeth, but DJ (22 months) does a pretty good job of reminding us if we forget to brush before bed. Anything to delay bedtime . He's in the stage of really wanting to be a helper right now too so after I brush his teeth, and he brushes his teeth, then he frequently wants to help me brush mine. It's kind of cute!

Weekend Reading: Cooked Books from The New Yorker
The lengthy descriptions of cooking that we find in modern literature are a way of artfully representing, rather than actually reproducing, our mental life—a modelled illusion, rather than a snapshot of the thing.
Cooking, consciousness, McEwan, Proust, and Grass. From a back issue of The New Yorker, here's a good essay to round out Hungry Reader month. Is cooking in contemporary novels the latest version of an old literary device, once employed by sending characters on walks, horseback rides, and car drives – a background activity to let authors explore the contents of their characters's minds while they are otherwise engaged.
The problem with this is that cooking isn't really a background activity, as the author points out when he tries to reproduce several recipes from favorite novels.
Food and cooking demand intimate attention on the here and now; they are not necessarily ruminative activities.
We could go either way on this – we find that some repetitive daily kitchen tasks let our minds wander free, and let us be blessedly free of overthinking and analysis. Cooking is physical, first and foremost, and it lets the mind go free while the body is so engaged. So we do have good thinking happening when we cook, sometimes.
But it also requires intense engagement, especially when constructing some of the baroque recipes the author tries out (complicated fish and mussel stew).
What do you think – is cooking a meditative activity for you, or are you very mentally engaged with your food as you cook?
Don't forget – we have a food and books challenge going on – get your entries in quick for a free book giveaway.

50 Cent Expands G-Unit With Kidd Kidd Signing & Shawty Lo Partnership
First Shawty Lo, now Kidd Kidd... looks like 50 Cent is not allowing any personal bumps to hold him back as he continues to expand his G-Unit's line up of artists. After recently inking a parternship with Shawty Lo, 50 broke the news of New Orleans newcomer Kidd Kid joining the team while on the set of Tony Yayo's upcoming video for "Haters."
Prior to his signing with G-Unit, Kidd Kidd collaborated with 50 on his single, "Better Walk" and also held down a guest spot on Lil Wayne's "Mrs. Officer."
Kidd Kidd explains how supportive 50 has been in his musical career—most recently attending his album release party: "50 came at me direct and I respect that," he told SOHH. "It's a respect thing, you feel me? There's not too many real out there that do what they do. He told me when he comes down to New Orleans, he's gonna come and get at me. And that's what happened. He came to the N.O. and got with me." —Noelle Lattimore

The speeds reported fall a bit short of what we previously reported here, but are still pretty close and faster than many available broadband wired connections. According to the guys over at Phandroid, initial real-world tests from some of their sources in the Washington DC metro area are a minimum of just over 6.5Mbps. Of course, this is on a mostly empty network, so it will be interesting to see how it fairs when the network gets loaded down with a ton of people downloading their favorite videos 24/7.

La Candy Lauren ConradReviewing: Lauren Conrad La Candy | Rating:
I was looking for a book to take on holiday with me. I struggle to find books that I enjoy after finishing the last of the Harry Potter series on my last holiday. So I searched around on Amazon and came across a book on sale by Lauren Conrad. I have watched Lauren on the TV series The Hills and thought I might as well give it a go.
When it comes to books I perfer a book that is not too confusing, as on holiday I am always putting the book down and picking it up again throughout the day. LA Candy is a great book and I was not disappointed, by the third chapter I was hooked and could not put the book down.
The book is about Jane Roberts and her best friend Scarlett Harp who move to LA and get approached to go to an audition for a new reality tv show. Much to their shock they get the parts and their life styles take a drastic change as they are follwed by camera crews everyewhere they go. Unfortunately they soon realise that fame comes at a price.
As a first book I think that the author Lauren Conrad has done really well as she has lived the LA life. The book is intended for a younger audience and has a basic writing style to it, although I would say that this book does have a small amount of adult content in it.
I enjoyed this book, but it does have a large cliff hanger at the end so you need to rush out to purchase the next installment in the series as soon as you have finished it.

Thomas Hardy
At Castle Boterel - Poem by Thomas Hardy
As I drive to the junction of lane and highway,
And the drizzle bedrenches the waggonette,
I look behind at the fading byway,
And see on its slope, now glistening wet,
Distinctly yet
Myself and a girlish form benighted
In dry March weather. We climb the road
Beside a chaise. We had just alighted
To ease the sturdy pony's load
When he sighed and slowed.
What we did as we climbed, and what we talked of
Matters not much, nor to what it led, -
Something that life will not be balked of
Without rude reason till hope is dead,
And feeling fled.
It filled but a minute. But was there ever
A time of such quality, since or before,
In that hill's story? To one mind never,
Though it has been climbed, foot-swift, foot-sore,
By thousands more.
Primaeval rocks form the road's steep border,
And much have they faced there, first and last,
Of the transitory in Earth's long order;
But what they record in colour and cast
Is - that we two passed.
And to me, though Time's unflinching rigour,
In mindless rote, has ruled from sight
The substance now, one phantom figure
Remains on the slope, as when that night
Saw us alight.
I look and see it there, shrinking, shrinking,
I look back at it amid the rain
For the very last time; for my sand is sinking,
And I shall traverse old love's domain
Never again.
Comments about At Castle Boterel by Thomas Hardy
Andrew Hoellering (1/8/2010 6:47:00 AM)
I just want to add a brief note of appreciation to Jon's perceptive comments.
It is the contrast between the primaeval landscape and the transitory but personally unforgettable human experience that lies at the heart of the poem.
Hardy believed that there is a human record in nature, just as there is a record of the rocks; extrapolating, I would say that there is a quite different feeling of place in historic Europe than there is, say, in North America.
The form of the poem is also extremely effective, five lines in each verse, rhymed ababb, with the last couplet in each stanza subtly used for contrast or emphasis. This simple structure carries the freight of a single emotional memory in a way that is as convincing as it is unforgettable. (Report) Reply
Jon Fogerty (11/24/2009 8:20:00 AM)
This, I think, is one of the most elegiac and exquisitely sad poems written by Hardy. He wrote it following visits to various locations that formed an integral part of his relationship with his deceased wife. Their relationship had soured irreparably at the time of her death- leaving him battling a certain degree of guilt and regret. In this re-visiting of old and happier scenes Hardy is possibly trying to exorcise the unhappiness of the latter years of his marriage and recapture, earlier, more fulfilling times.
This device of placing a speaker in a scene to reflect-usually regretfully- on the lost moments of the past and the emptiness of the present is used often and effectively by Hardy in many of his greatest poems.
Here, in 'At Castle Boterel' he creates an overpowering sense of the cruel nature of 'the transitory in earth's long order': Time moves inexorably on, impervious to the little lives of the young lovers who have climbed the hill in the hgh summer of their love, and the lone, lost, ageing survivor of that relationship climbing it now as his 'sand is sinking'. Yet there is hope in this counter-balancing of Times 'mindless rote' with the 'time of such quality', however transitory, in the lives of the young lovers when they climbed the hill together in the distant past.
Each human relationship is unique, and despite the endless procession of people with their varying stories who have climbed that hill, in the mind of the speaker, his brief role in that hill's story supersedes all others.
Time is fleeting, cruel, uncaring, rolls inexorably on: it is in the small, almost forgotten moments of human life that we find meaning and fulfillment. (Report) Reply

Japanese Short Haircuts
Asian hairstyles comes in various models depending on face,skin,and hair colour.there is so many women asian especially on japan, chinese or korea.they like a short haircut styles to support their fashionable. This picture is Japanese short haircuts trend.
Elegant Japanese short haircuts
Japanese hair has a tendency to be lush and thick and therefore can cause some difficulty when the hair has been cut to a short length.
Short summer haircuts are the short ones and the comb downs. Short hairstyles like spikes and crew cuts are great for young boys who like to run head first into everything. The haircut is short and simple allowing them to be active without any mess. Comb downs are also a good hairstyle for young boys. The look provides a different style from shorter cuts yet is still easy to style and manage. For young boys not as active the latter is probably a better choice.

I'm guessing that if you found yourself reading this post you have a dream? A vision of a better life perhaps? A desire for a happier, more fulfilled and more abundant life?
Maybe that future life feels vastly different from the one you have now. So much so that you have a hard time mentally bridging that gap.
Would you like to know what the number one thing standing between you and your dream is?
I'll give you a clue it's not money (despite the fact that a LOT of people use this as their excuse).
It's nothing to do with your talents, your abilities, how much stuff you know, how many books or blogs you've read, how many courses you've signed up for.
It's none of these things.
The number one thing standing between you and your dreams is your deep-seated desire for certainty.
It is your desire to know that the direction in which you want to go will work out if you take the first step.
It is your desire to map out the route from here to there that makes the journey impossible to make.
Most of my clients come to me looking for a plan, a process to follow, a secret ingredient, a magic formula. Anything that will help them to get them to take the action that will see them on the way to achieving their dreams. It's a perfectly human thing to do. We want to feel safe and secure, we don't want to put ourselves in unnecessary danger or to take unnecessary risks.
The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown" ~ H.P. Lovecraft
But here's the thing. Here is the paradox at play (and note: there is always a paradox at play).
Only a leap of faith will see us get where we want to go.
Image: Celestial Leap by Rick Nunn
Let me tell you why a leap of faith is so necessary. Because we can never, and I repeat never, know how this is all going to work out.
So if, like most people, you're spending a lot of time trying to work out the exact steps you need to take to get from point A (where you right now as you read this) to point B (your big, bold dream) then I hate to break it to you but you're wasting your precious time.
The world doesn't change in front of your eyes, it changes behind your back." ~ Terry Hayes
So how might your time be better spent? I'm so glad you asked! Your time would be better spent taking action, and before you mind starts spinning out and asking itself, but which specific action should that be?? I don't care. The Universe doesn't care. Your sub-conscious mind doesn't care. ANY action will do.
I repeat take any action that moves you one step closer to your dream. It could be an email, a phone call, a decision you've been meaning to make, a meeting with your boss. Whatever it is, if you sit in silence long enough, with a reflective and open heart, that one next step will be revealed to you. Truth is you already know what it is, you're probably just to scared to take it. I get it. I've been there many times.
And then what?
Then after you've taken that action, you're world will be different, you will be different and from that new place, as you sit with an open and reflective heart and ask yourself what do I really want? the next step will be revealed to you.
That's how it works? There is no big secret to success, there is no magical process. It's the simple act of taking the next step from wherever you are in this moment, adjusting to your new position and repeating that act.
If this sounds too simple, it's because it really is that simple, but I get that this might sound basic, my mind only really wrapped itself around this recently, so for those of you whose mind is unwilling to accept anything as simple as taking just the one next step then I'll give you three.
1. Embrace uncertainty (because the unknown is the only thing you can actually be certain of!)
2. Feel the fear and take the next step anyway (know that you are not your fear, accept the fact that fear will occur and take action regardless)
3. Repeat steps one and two until you're happier than you've ever been.
Image: By Flickr user elBidule
When we spend all of our time and energy trying to be perfect, trying to have the perfect back-up plan, trying to keep one foot in this camp and another foot tentatively feeling it's way forward, then the net result is that we never move. We never get there. Years pass by and we stay exactly where we are. Dreaming of a place somewhere out there in our future, a place we never made the steps to get to.
Only a leap of faith will see us get where we want to go. Indi knew it and so can you.

NORAD uses four high-tech systems to track Santa – radar, satellites, Santa Cams and jet fighter aircraft.
It all starts with the NORAD radar system called the North Warning System. This powerful radar system has 47 installations strung across Canada's North and Alaska. NORAD makes a point of checking the radar closely for indications of Santa Claus leaving the North Pole on Christmas Eve.
The moment our radar tells us that Santa has lifted off, we begin to use the same satellites that we use in providing warning of possible missile launches aimed at North America. These satellites are located in a geo-synchronous orbit (that's a cool phrase meaning that the satellite is always fixed over the same spot on the Earth) at 22,300 miles above the Earth. The satellites have infrared sensors, meaning they can see heat. When a rocket or missile is launched, a tremendous amount of heat is produced – enough for the satellites to see them. Rudolph's nose gives off an infrared signature similar to a missile launch. The satellites can detect Rudolph's bright red nose with practically no problem. With so many years of experience, NORAD has become good at tracking aircraft entering North America, detecting worldwide missile launches and tracking the progress of Santa, thanks to Rudolph.
