US gets Pop Idol
The people behind talent show Pop Idol, which became a TV phenomenon in the UK, are to take the show to the United States, it has been confirmed.
Former Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller has signed a deal with US TV network Fox to re-create the show, which became a ratings hit in the UK, and whose stars have gone on to release record-breaking singles.
As in the UK version, the winner will get a contract with record company BMG, and if the show is a success, they are likely to become instant stars. "When I dreamt up the idea of Pop Idol, I always saw it is a global concept, and I'm so delighted to see it being made for America," Fuller said. There had been reports that the deal would make Fuller $50m (�35m) - on top of the millions the UK show has already generated.
He became the judge that viewers loved to hate, making scathing comments about the contestants' talents. The first auditions for participants will take place over the next few months. "America is full of incredibly talented performers looking for their first break," according to Gail Berman, Fox's president of entertainment. Record-breaking "With this new series, we will fulfil a lot of dreams and let our viewers make someone a superstar." The final� of the UK version was a national talking point, attracting more than 13 million viewers and a record 8.7 million phone votes. The winner, Will Young, smashed the record for the fastest-selling single in UK history when his debut release sold 1.1 million copies in its first week just two weeks after the show finished. The runner-up, Gareth Gates, looks set to come close to that total with his cover of Unchained Melody, which is almost certain to go to number one in the charts on Sunday. International success Talent search shows have had success in the US before - pop group O-Town came out of the show Making the Band, but the groups formed on two series of Popstars have not yet made the big time. Several countries have already screened their own versions of Pop Idol - including Spain, where the show broke the record for the biggest ever TV audience. France's Star Academy has also been a hit, while the third series of Popstars in Australia is currently searching for just one winner. Pop Idol will follow successful UK TV exports including Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? and The Weakest Link. |

I had 12 sessions to improve wrinkles and raise my eyebrows. The treatment increased the depth of the wrinkles and made my eyes look puffy. I would definitely not recommend it.
The therapist then tried to push me to buy the Nu Skin equipment which apparently works ( she said the same thing about Perfector!). She said that the anti aging business is big money! I'm sure it is but what about customer satisfaction?

I had noticably more wrinkles and friends were worried that I looked really tired! I think that the beauty therapist wasn't experienced in doing it as it made my eyes terribly puffy. I truly don't think this treatment works.

Studying the cauldrons
During the course of the project each cauldron will be carefully excavated from its block of soil and carefully recorded using drawings, photography and laser scanning. This will allow both a virtual three-dimensional reconstruction andthe resconstruction of the actual vessels if they are strong enough. The cauldrons will then be stabilised and prepared for long-term storage or public display. At the same time a range of specialists at the British Museum will study the cauldrons.

Soundway is super-straight killing it right now. The 7 inches, the Quantic remixes, the unbelievably short runs... This might be the best release yet (or at least competes with the Quantic remixes), as producer of the moment Natural Self re-edits two vintage afro-funk tracks from the Soundway vaults. The a-side is the killer, while the b-side would be a-material on any other single.

About the Book
Desperate times call for...desperately fake measures.
This is a collection of photographs made with the ShakeItPhoto Pola...er..."Instant Photo" replicator for the iPhone. When Polaroid stopped manufacturing its instant film, I started using the application after I tore through what film I had left on hand (and through the film I could afford to buy)...and an addiction was born.
The gratification of the physical print may be gone...but the punchy color, the distortion, and the immediacy of the moment is still there.

Sixty-one years ago, in 1955, the National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution petitioned Congress to set aside September 17-23 annually to be dedicated to observe Constitution Week. One year later National's resolution was adopted by the U.S. Congress and signed into public law by President Dwight D. Eisenhower on Aug. 2, 1956. Since that time Don José Verdugo Chapter members have worked diligently to bring awareness and the history of the Constitution to local communities.
Caroline Craven, newly installed Chapter Regent said, "The signing of the Constitution is one of America's greatest events and the foundation of this country, both of which are often forgotten. I encourage everyone to visit one of the local displays."
Craven also asked that community members post photos on social media using #constitutionweek to help build awareness of Constitution Week.
The principles of DAR are to perpetuate the memory and spirit of men and women who fought for and achieved American independence, to preserve historical landmarks, documents, relics and records of service by Revolutionary soldiers and patriots.
More than 930,000 members have been admitted since its founding in 1890. DAR is known as the largest women's patriotic organization in the world. There are currently over 170,000 members with approximately 3,000 chapters in all 50 states and 11 foreign countries. DAR is a lineage society that is a non-profit, charitable organization dedicated to patriotism, historic preservation, and education.

Rookie Anthony Michael continued his excellent start to the Alfred Dunhill Championship by moving two strokes clear at the halfway stage in Malelane.
The South African carded a three under par 69 to follow up his 66 on day one - although his round was more up and down as it included three bogeys mixed amongst six birdies.
However, it was good enough to keep him top of the leaderboard at the Leopard Creek Country Club, where his closest challenge was coming from a trio of players in compatriots Alex Haindl and Dawie Van der Walt along with Englishman Robert Rock.
Haindl was particularly impressive, storming his way around the course in a bogey-free six under 66, a round that was set up by a set of eagles on the par five 15th and par five second along with two birdies.
Still, the 27 year old from Bloemfontein, who began on the back nine, was not entirely satisfied.
He said: "I hit nice hybrids in for my eagles - on the front edge on 15 where I sank quite a nice putt, and I hit it to about seven feet on two.
"I three-putted once, and I missed quite a few six footers. The greens are quite difficult - there's quite a bit of grain in them. But the rest of my game's been good," he added.
"It's been a much better year for me. All the work I've been doing with my coach John Dixon's starting to come through."
Norwegian Marius Thorp was all alone on six under par overall after following his 67 up with a 71, while six players were further back on five under.
Defending champion Pablo Martin was one of them after a round of 70, along with another local Keith Horne, Dane Thorbjorn Olesen, Swede Oskar Henningsson and Britons Scott Jamieson and Neil Cheetham.
Overall leader and baseball-fanatic Michael, who only turned professional a year ago, admitted he was happy to have achieved his target set out at the start of play.
He said: "I went out there today just to shoot under 70. I said that if I can shoot three rounds under 70 that will be really good.
"I got off to a pretty good start and that took some of the pressure off and from there I kicked on.
"I felt comfortable out there and there was a sense of belonging for me. So all in all, I'm quite happy."
Rock holed from eight feet for birdie at the 15th in a round with four gains and two dropped shots.

india and headley: what comes of being a soft state, by b raman
2 comments:
- Anirban said...
Although Mr Raman is giving such good suggestions - nothing of that sort will happen. Already the seculars in the Bollywood-media-mafia-politician nexus is trying to shift the blame to FBI/CIA. It's interesting that the FBI/CIA "double-agent" conspiracy theory was floated by NDTV. By a curious coincidence one lady Rajya Sabha MP who is related to NDTV owners then asked questions in Rajya Sabha why FBI was shielding Headley from India supersleuths..
- Bhuvan said...
Forget it...it won't happen in India..torts? Not because of the unscrupulous politicians, but because of the spineless public.
Yes, we the Indian public don't care about torts or filing a PIL or about national security at all..being the selfish mongrels that we are, as long as our livelihoods are secure and we are not personally affected by terrorism, we don't give a s***t about taking the Govt. to task for negligence or incompetence.
Forget it...
Cheers :)

Rakesh Sharma, 50, had just reached home late on Friday when a telephone call made him set out on his bike again, heading for Bakewar, an official said. (Agencies) Latest News from State News Desk
Unidentified motorcycle-borne assailants intercepted the journalist at Bharthana Road and pumped bullets into him. A passerby identified him and informed others in the area and also his family.
He was rushed to a nearby medical facility, where doctors declared him "brought dead".
Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) N Chowdhary told reporters that a thorough investigation was being undertaken, and the last telephone call received on the journalist's mobile phone was being looked into. Prima facie, the killing appeared to be due to some animosity, the official said.
The body was sent for autopsy. Local journalist groups have demanded immediate identification and arrest of the assailants.

Purim – The miracle of Esther
Tonight is the Festival of Purim on the Jewish calendar. The holiday, based on the story in the Biblical book of Esther, is a day of joy and celebration. The core of the observance is the reading of the Esther story. For ritual use, it is written in an independent scroll or "Megillah" in Hebrew.
The traditional observances, in addition to prayers, are very much like Carnival. They feature costumes, masks, noisemakers and partying. It is the only time in the Jewish calendar when drinking is encouraged. The text also mandates giving gifts to friends and to the poor.
The story of Esther is a very strange one.
In the period after the destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem, around 500 to 400 BCE, many Jews lived in the Persian Empire. This story takes place in the kingdom of Persia in the reign of King Achasueros, better known as Xerxes (the Greek pronunciation).
In the opening scenes, the king fires his queen for disobedience. Tradition understands that she refused to appear naked in front of the king and his nobles. The royal advisers organize an empirewide beauty contest to find a successor queen and the winner is Esther, a young Jewish beauty. She moves to the palace but her adoptive father Mordechai tells her to keep her Judaism secret.
As the plot develops, an evil advisor to the king named Haman seeks unlimited power, glory and riches. Haman is a descendant of Agag, an Amalekite. This refers us back to the story in 1 Samuel 15. Saul was commanded to destroy Agag the Amalekite, the ancestor of Haman. But Saul didn't do it. So evil persists.
Haman becomes the royal viceroy, with essentially royal privileges. Mordechai, however, refuses to bow down to Haman. To satisfy his ego, and perhaps for more wealth, Haman buys the right to kill all the Jews and to confiscate all of their property. Queen Esther risks her life to go before the king uninvited, and miraculously, Achasueros grants her every request. With many plot twists, Haman is hung from the gallows—the very gallows he had prepared for Mordechai. The Jews are given authority to defend themselves. They fight back, they avert disaster, and everybody, except Haman, his family and those killed in battle, live happily ever after.
It doesn't seem to be a holy scroll. It never mentions God. They fast but they do not pray. There is no evidence of religious practices. The story never mentions God and no one calls to God for help.
The scroll of Esther appears to have been written by someone who is familiar with the Persian court. There really was a king Achasueros who ruled from 486 to 465 BCE. But there is no external confirmation of this story or of Esther, Haman and Mordechai. The rules and rulings seem too dumb for an emperor who was skillful enough to survive for 20 years on the throne of a huge, diverse, empire.
No one knows how or why this book made it into the Bible, although scholars think it was written between 400 and 300 BCE. Its canonization could be as late as 1st Century CE. It is the only book in the Hebrew Bible which has not been found among the Dead Sea Scrolls. There is a version of it in the Septuagint, the Greek Bible translation that was finished in the first or second century BCE. The Greek version of Esther is a longer text. It also is less comic, more religious, and more connected to God and to Jewish practices. But this version is canonical only in the Greek and other Orthodox churches.
If this was a short story in magazine or anthology, you might find it funny, or you might find it too silly or too convoluted. But it's in the Bible. It's embedded in a collection of writings that many believe are divine, or divinely inspired. Some argue they were written to promote religion and religious practices. Why did Jewish leaders, and then Christian leaders, include this story in the Holy Scriptures? There are a number of possible answers offered by those who study the Bible. If you've never read the text of Esther, go look it up. It's in every Bible and online (search for "Book of Esther"). Decide for yourself why it's there.
Here are the choices. Which one do you vote for?
One group will say we don't need to understand why Esther is in the Bible. Option 1 is: The story is in the Bible because God wants it there.
The Scroll of Esther never mentions God or prayer. The story shows brave and skillful acts rather than prayer. Perhaps some ancient Jewish leaders put it there to be a dissenting view to reliance on God. Option 2: It is there to teach us that it's courageous and careful action and planning that's needed, not total reliance on God.
There are carnivals at this time of year in many cultures. It is likely that the Jews in Persia were observing these holidays. Maybe leaders felt it was easier to make the holidays Jewish than to stop the partying. Option 3: Esther is a story put in to justify observing a holiday similar to Carnival.
Perhaps it was a subversive chapter added to cast doubt on the seriousness of the whole Bible. Option 4; It was put in to show that the Bible has unrealistic stories created by religious leaders.
Maybe the above answers did not include the way you understand the point of Esther. Option 5: None of the above: I have a different understanding of why it is in the Bible.
Or maybe you just don't even have a guess. Option 6: I have no idea why it is in the Bible.
I am looking forward to discussing this portion of the Bible with you. Please join the discussion below in the comments field and take the poll at lower right.

As mentioned previously, as a result of beam spread and attenuation, echo heights observed from equivalent defects decrease with increased distance. Consequently, a technique known as distance amplitude correction (DAC) is commonly employed to adjust signals generated at different distances for comparison purposes. This technique consists of generating a DAC curve that essentially indicates that a smaller echo at a greater distance may have similar properties to a larger echo at a lesser distance.
With straight beam transducers, blocks with flat bottom-hole specimens typically are used to generate the DAC curve. However, generating the same curve with an angle transducer is typically completed using a specimen with side-drilled holes. Regardless of the technique used to generate a DAC curve, the material used in the calibration block should be the same as the material in the test specimen due to potential differences in attenuation characteristics.
Figures 15a and 15b conceptually illustrate how a DAC curve would be generated for an angle beam transducer. In figure 15a, a side-drilled hole is shown in a test block that can be scanned with four different scanning patterns. Note that one could double the number of points on the DAC curve by using a second equivalent side-drilled hole at a different depth. When the echo signals are plotted together, the DAC curve shown in figure 15b results. This curve is referred to as "100 percent DAC." This means that for an equivalent defect in the test specimen, the echo signal will fall on this line. Smaller or larger defects in the test specimen will lie below or above the 100 percent DAC curve, respectively. The most accurate way to assess these defects is to repeat the DAC curve generation with a series of diameter holes. The result will be a series of curves that should allow for more accurate defect assessment. figures..

The prospect that "the gaffer", whose confrontational style of man-management has knocked over teacups in dressing rooms from Merseyside to the Bosphorus, might soon be coming to Tynecastle had a negative effect. Hearts froze, while Rangers continue to flourish under the heir to Souness's desk at Ibrox, but not his tantrums.
Dick Advocaat may be blunt but the idea of the Rangers coach having the kind of spats with players which typified Souness's period there (Ally McCoist and Terry Butcherwere among the most notable victims) and carried on at Liverpool, Galatasaray and Benfica - who fired the Scot three months ago - is unthinkable.
Advocaat prefers his industrial relations to be kept in-house. He does not like those who feel they are "stars" and above the team ethic, which was why he told Ruud Gullit to sling his hook when he was the Netherlands' coach before the 1994 World Cup, and has kept the sullen Italian Marco Negri out of the picture for a year.
It would be hard to envisage Pierre van Hooijdonk and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink pulling their stunts on their bull-necked countryman, and for every crying Dutchman there are happily others prepared to sing from Advocaat's group hymn sheet rather than going solo. Last season it was Giovanni van Bronckhorst, whose industry surpassed his wonderful playmaking skills. Now, it is the turn of Michael Mols to prove Total Footballers are not totally out of control.
It was Mols' stunning goal in first-half injury-time which killed off Hearts and gave Rangers the two-goal cushion with which to toy with their opponents. Already, the Dutch international looks worth every penny of the pounds 4m Advocaat paid for him during the summer, yet he appears an unlikely candidate to have ego on his face. "It's honestly not important if I score," Mols said, "only that the team wins. My main goal at Rangers was simply to get in the squad."
There is little chance of omission. Few defenders in Scotland will forget Mols' name this season. Grant Murray, his marker, was left swiping at fresh air so often by Mols' impeccable balance and swift turns that the referee John Rowbotham eventually had to book the Hearts youngster.
The ease with which Mols hurdled Murray in the 45th minute before drilling a fierce angled shot beyond Gilles Rousset was indelible, but just as valuable was the lay-off which allowed Claudio Reyna to hit the opener and his part in helping Jorg Albertz make it 3-0.
"I had made my name in Holland," Mols said, "but no one knows me in Scotland. If I succeed here it will mean more. The main reason I signed for Rangers was that challenge, but also to work under Dick Advocaat, and win championships and play in Europe. But everyone at the club has been so helpful, it feels like home now."
Parma, who visit Ibrox on Wednesday for a crucial Champions' League qualifying tie, will certainly have noted Mols' name, if not that of Reyna, whose header, which sealed the rout, was his third goal in two games.
Hearts have no European involvement this season, due to their torrid time last season, and they look destined to be spectators in this Scottish Premier League campaign. With their international defender Paul Ritchie poised to move to Coventry City, this abject surrender simply strengthened the belief of the consortium linked with Souness that a takeover is needed to provide the funds Hearts need if they want to challenge the Old Firm.
Goals: Reyna (14) 1-0; Mols (45) 2-0; Albertz (67) 3-0; Reyna (73) 4- 0.

Hi, I am not able to install Reporting Services (RS) on a Web Farm, but would like to get it installed and configured on Failover Cluster. What do you think about the following scenario? 1.Install RS on one server and create the databases on the SQL Server Cluster. 2.Install RS on the second server. 3.Configure the second RS to use the clustered database. 4.Copy the encryption key from the RS installation that created the databases. 5.Apply the encryption key to the RS installation that did not create the database. 6.Create RS service as a generic service for the Cluster. I have not tested this yet, but in theory it should work? or? Savoy
The purpose of the setup is to make RS part of a active/passive failover cluster. I am aware of the solution to create a web farm to use the cluster, but I would like only to use the two servers in the cluster and not involve a web farm. Hope this make sense..
oh iam helpless here... even i know till the web farm but not without it... plz lemme know when u get the solution...

Regards

Part of the row that BA has had with its staff has been over outsourcing. Quite aside from the dispute with its cabin crew, it wants to outsource the remaining bit of its catering for, unlike most airlines, it still prepares about a fifth of the meals it serves. But in this instance it had outsourced the whole flight. All it had provided was the computer reservation, the brand name and the billing service. Meanwhile, it has been spending money repainting its tailplanes with symbols supposed to emphasise its global nature instead of the truncated version of the Union flag. To say this is not to get at BA, for what has been happening is simply a good example of a worldwide trend. Everywhere large companies are cutting back to what they suppose to be their core businesses, while at the same time trying to establish their brand globally.
The twin trends of outsourcing all but core activities and trying to build global brands are both so powerful that people are wondering where it will all end. Will companies get to the stage already reached in Hollywood where studios are mere bankers and distribution agents, buying in everything from the stars to the stories, hiring sub-contractors to make each movie, but then selling the product worldwide?
When a trend is so strongly established, almost invariably there are economic forces at play. Companies are not putting themselves through wrenching change because they like it. They are doing it because economics requires it. Understanding these forces gives a clue as to how far the trends will go. The first force - outsourcing - is a result of the increasing specialisation of economic activity. The knowledge required to do something well has become much more specialised than it was, say, 20 years ago.
Take the example of meals on an aircraft. The quality expected now is higher than it would have been a generation ago and the price of air fares has tumbled. The result is a squeeze on costs. There is no reason why an airline should be good at running a catering business; after all, no one expects an airline executive to be good at running a restaurant. So a few specialist caterers have developed the knowledge of how to create appropriate meals at a reasonable cost, and since they work with several airlines which set different criteria, know more about the business than any individual airline could ever know. Outsourcing is driven by the need to buy specialist knowledge, not just to cut costs. That is one example. Multiply that thousands of times for there are thousands of competencies that no firm can have in-house.
Now take the force of globalisation. Here there are several drivers. One is the global growth of the middle-class. The fastest-growing markets for many products are in east Asia, where there has been an explosion of people with enough spending power to be attractive customers. There are enormous benefits to any company which is able to build a brand that can reach these people, partly because brand image enables it to charge a premium but also because the image becomes self-reinforcing the more global it becomes. You can see this best in McDonald's, where an unremarkable product can charge a premium in foreign markets even though it is discounting in its home one.
Another driver is the added value of running a network. An air route become more valuable if it connects to others, hence the popularity of Heathrow over Stansted or Manchester over Liverpool, and of course the explosion of code-sharing. In the case of BA, painting tailplanes differently is designed to make it more international. Presumably the aim of that is to make a more natural link for other airlines. Combine the need for specialised knowledge and the value of global brands and you can begin to see the limits to outsourcing.
In the case of BA, it can get other people to service its planes, provide its meals and so on. But it keeps the brand image, suitably modified, the routes, and its own customer knowledge.
It is astounding how much information people are prepared to give about themselves if they are offered incentives. People on frequent-flyer programmes give an enormous amount of information, with the result that airlines can not only deliver a special quality of personal service, but can also cross-sell other products like health insurance. Of course, BA knows how to run an airline, but even if it didn't it could hire people who do. But it could not easily buy in slots at Heathrow, and there is no way it could buy its network of customers, details of whom sit on its computers. This gives a clue as to the limits of outsourcing. Strip away everything else and there will be at least three things left.
First there is a core of knowledge in a company which is not easily replicated. It could be to design better mobile phones, discover new oil fields or provide cheaper and better meals. The knowledge is probably in the heads of a few people, and woe betide the firm that fails to reward them. The wise company will keep them by providing an environment where they can excel.
Second, companies will retain a brand. Brands become more important, particularly when they are part of a network. But there will not be just a few global consumer brands, there will be rapid growth of specialised brands, known all over the world by people interested in the product or service. As information becomes almost infinitely available via electronic communications it will become possible for any company with real excellence to sell itself globally. Of course, most will not succeed. But I think we will see more mini-brands achieving global reach. Indeed, you can see this in the entertainment world. With the possible exception of Disney, people do not identify with the studio which produces a film. That is the big brand. Instead they identify with the mini-brands associated with the movie, the stars.
Third, companies will keep customers. A mailing list, a loyalty club, a databank of people's preferences, a billing system - all these become important. You can have a virtual company, but you must have real customers. So firms which have a continuing relationship with customers, even if it is just through a quarterly telephone bill, will endure.
Over the past generation, the world economy has been transformed by specialisation and globalisation: the first force is behind BA's outsourcing of meals, the second behind repainting its planes. The next big force is the infinite availability of information, in particular information which reinforces the loyalty of customers. If it were wise, BA would worry about the extent to which it has damaged that loyalty by sticking people on other people's planes at, among many other places, Logan airport.

Hey ! I have been using using WebFaction for a few months to host a Django project hooked to a PostgreSQL via Psycopg2. I tried to replicate my production configuration on my local dev machine but just hit a wall: Everything is working fine but postgreSQL is keeping all my non-modifying database queries opened ("idle in transaction"). So I get dozen of idle transactions really quickly. I made some searches and apparently Django/psycopg2 is making a transaction for every query but is not making the commit/rollback for "SELECT only". What's boggling me is that in production on WebFaction there is apparently no such problem. I found different fixes online but they looked a bit dirty. I was wondering what technique is used on WebFaction or if my question is irrelevant. Thanks. asked 13 Feb '12, 18:40 Hindo |
Are you using the exact same versions of Django, Postgres and Psycopg2 locally? Normally issues with the Django ORM mechanics is due to an outdated version of Django or another library in the ORM stack. answered 13 Feb '12, 19:33 johns ♦♦ I checked the version numbers and I'm actually a bit forward. PostgreSQL is 9.1.2 on dev and 8.3.11 in prod Psycopg2 is 2.4.4 on dev and 2.3.2 in prod. Django is the same.
(13 Feb '12, 21:26)
I have found many bugs referencing this like the one here. What version of Django are you using? the bug reports seem to indicate this is patched in the most recent versions.
(13 Feb '12, 22:09)
johns ♦♦
1.3.1, the same version as webfaction. I found this ticket too (and one or two posts about that on stackoverflow). Sorry I should have linked them. Most fixes sound dirty, and I'm not ready to switch to the 1.4. So I'm just trying to understand how webfaction does to avoid/cancel those idle transactions.
(13 Feb '12, 23:46)
To be honest I have never seen this exact issue on our platform, however we force timeouts on all queries so that may be why. Searching our support ticket histories for similar cases shows nothing conclusive. Maybe try setting statement_timeout to a low value.
(14 Feb '12, 00:17)
johns ♦♦
I miss diagnosed my issue. I had a blocking call in a Django view creating those idle transactions. Sorry that I wasted your time and thanks for your help answered 14 Feb '12, 03:37 Hindo |

Crush Recovery Build: SEMA Ready
Well, just it's just about complete! At the time of this shoot the paint matched seats and hood mentioned on the previous post hadn't been installed yet. Everything else is good to go, and everything has come together very well! You'll notice some the great details in the paint matched accents in the gallery below. The build features more than 60 of the latest products from the Omix-ADA family of brands; some of the newest products from Rugged Ridge such as the new Aluminum Hood Latches and Aluminum XHD bumpers, and Alloy USA's high-strength axle shafts.
The final outcome of this Rubicon has definitely met the original goal of the build. Crush Recovery is designed to be the ultimate off road vehicles to recover 4x4s stuck in the toughest terrain. Inspiration stems from both Jeep's trusted reputation and and unmatched versatility. Additionally, the new for 2012 Jeep color, Orange Crush, provides added utility and safety to Crush Recovery. The vibrant color stands out amongst the green and brown hues of the outdoors, making rescuers easily visible to those in need. Make sure to follow the coverage of the SEMA Show 2012 from Rugged Ridge to Crush Recover completely finished, as well as all of the other vehicles featured this year!
Crush Recovery Build: Custom Painted Seats and Hood
We're less than a week away from the 2012 SEMA Show, and the Crush Recovery build is coming to completion. The custom painted ProCar Evolution seats and Truck Master Designs hood are a couple of the last finishing touches. Drew Brothers Customs did an awesome job on these! Check out the photos below:

Crush Recovery Build: JK Exhaust and Receiver Hitch Install
Today I've installed the exhaust and receiver hitch, both from Rugged Ridge. No issues with the install process on either part, but removing the factory exhaust… well, that's another story. One of the hangers on the muffler seemed to be really seized up, so I had to resort to cutting it to remove it, which you'll see in the photos. The new exhaust definitely gives a good power increase, and has a nice sound from the dual exit exhaust.

The increase comes despite repeated statements by ministers that wealthy European nations should deal with wastes within their own borders rather than shipping them to Britain. Tim Yeo, Environment minister, reaffirmed that policy yesterday.
The wastes include long-lasting, toxic chemicals such as PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), and incinerator ash containing high levels of poisonous metals such as lead, mercury and cadmium. Some is recycled to recover valuable materials, but each year thousands of tons end up being burned in incinerators or buried, after treatment.
Kerry Rankine, a Greenpeace waste campaigner, said: 'We've yet to see the British government take decisive action to stop the UK becoming a dumping ground for Europe. They're not serious.'
According to the annual report of the Government's pollution inspectorate, imports to England and Wales in the financial year 1988-89 were about 21,000 tons. By 1990-91 they had risen to more than 44,306 tons and thay have remained above that level.
These figures are not the full story. The pollution inspectorate and waste regulation officers from local councils believe some hazardous wastes are disposed of without being picked up by the legal monitoring system which is intended to ensure that they are disposed of safely.
Belgium was the largest exporter last year, followed by Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands. Greater Manchester was the region that received most hazardous waste - 15,689 tons.
George Clapton of the Greater Machester Waste Disposal Authority said his staff kept a close check on wastes received by the three plants operating in the area. He said it was likely some dangerous wastes were arriving in Britain illegally, 'but it's not happening here'. He expected the imports to start falling within the next two years.
Britain also exports large quantities of hazardous wastes, but insists these go to overseas recyclers who extract useful materials from them.

Understanding new moon
Posted: May 3, 2011 Filed under: Astronomy Leave a commentIMHO, one of the harder moon phases to explain. Because it doesn't actually look like that picture when it's in our sky! A nice explanation from EarthSky.org:
Once each month, the moon comes all the way around in its orbit so that it is more or less between us and the sun. If it were directly between, a solar eclipse would take place. But that doesn't happen every month. Instead, in most months, the moon passes above or below the sun as seen from our earthly vantage point.
On the day of new moon, the moon rises when the sun rises. It sets when the sun sets. It crosses the sky with the sun during the day.
That's why we can't see the new moon in the sky. It is too close to the sun's glare to be visible. Plus its lighted hemisphere is facing away from us.

thousand years
Psalms 90:4
90:4 thousand years. This verse (like II Peter 3:8) has often been misinterpreted to justify taking the days of creation as equivalent to geological ages. In this context, however, Moses is referring to the ancient descendants of Adam. Even though they had lived almost a thousand years, by the time of Moses they were all but forgotten.

Yes, I am using firefox ,even, and I can see both the Hebrew and the Greek you have typed.
You typed, "my name is Scott" (Hebrew) and "Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the life, no one (can) comes to the father if not through me"(Greek).
Also, it just dawned on me that one can use Window XP or Windows 7's language tool bar to type in different languages on these forums, too.

Trials Evolution review
UK Price (inc VAT):
1200 Microsoft points (£10.20)
The greatest examples of entertainment weather the storm of aging without effort, and one such example isTrials HD. It's an Xbox Live Arcade title which made the ride to the dizzy heights of popularity, and it's hung on at the top ever since.
Now Trials HD has competition, but fortunately for developer RedLynx, it comes in the form of one of its own. Yep, repair that controller and hit yourself up with a massive dose of patience, Trials is back and it's more insane than ever, in Trials Evolution.
As ever, the aim is to get the rider and his bike over obstacles of increasing difficulty using acceleration, braking and rider balance in differing measures. As with the real trials in motorsport, falling off penalises you with a point. Keep messing up and you'll soon see plenty of points and a very slow finish time, not to mention a lack of medals. Once you improve, though, and you'll begin to fly through levels in smooth fashion, with the silverware will soon pile up.
Whereas Trials HD was based entirely indoors, as if the rider were allergic to sunlight and fresh air, Trials Evolution spends most of its time outside. Perhaps the allure of freedom proved too much? It's straightforward, as well - quite literally in fact. Courses go from left to right as before, but through left and right bends, giving the game a more cinematic, and more realistic feel. Combined with even bigger death-defying stunt action - think jumping over huge drops with a helicopter below - RedLynx has somehow managed to make Trials Evolution feel even more explosive without it becoming predictable and the novelty lost.
In fact, the best news of all is the gameplay remains unchanged. Very steep inclines require gentle taps to lean the rider forward combined with bursts of the throttle. Meanwhile, gold medals still require no mistakes and an understanding that flat-out speed isn't always the key to success. Very early on you soon realise a smooth line and carrying speed is key, and that is how it should be. The only real difference is RedLynx has added more comical end sequences, and the outside locations have allowed for more interesting scenarios. Some levels see you using bursts of water from giant pipes to clear obstacles, another involves a Trials version of the mighty Xbox Live Arcade game, Limbo.
As ever, the toughest challenges will have the very best video gamers questioning their own skill. This is a game that will have you swearing at the screen as you fall off for the 30th time, but you'll still get back up to try again because the constant allure of another gold medal always proves too hard to resist. Trials has always been about the satisfaction from mastery - and the sequel has that feeling in spades. Frustrating it might become later on, but that's part of the charm. It's bit of a 'treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen' mentality but it works.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Hamsworth Early OriginsThe surname Hamsworth was first found in Yorkshire at Hemsworth in the West Riding of Yorkshire. At the taking of the Domesday Book survey, initiated by Duke William in the year 1086 after his conquest of England at the Battle of Hastings in the year 1066, Hemsworth was held by Gamel, a Norman noble, who held it from the tenant-in-chief Ilbert de Lacy. Conjecturally, the Hemsworth line is descended from this source. Alternatively, the name could have been derived from Harmondsworth, a parish in Middlesex. [1]CITATION[CLOSE] Lowe, Mark Anthony, Patronymica Britannica, A Dictionary of Family Names of the United Kingdom. London: John Russel Smith, 1860. Print. Hamsworth Spelling VariationsHamsworth Spelling VariationsAnglo-Norman names tend to be marked by an enormous number of spelling variations. This is largely due to the fact that Old and Middle English lacked any spelling rules when Norman French was introduced in the 11th century. The languages of the English courts at that time were French and Latin. These various languages mixed quite freely in the evolving social milieu. The final element of this mix is that medieval scribes spelled words according to their sounds rather than any definite rules, so a name was often spelled in as many different ways as the number of documents it appeared in. The name was spelled Hamsworth, Harmsworth, Hemsworth and others. Hamsworth Early HistoryHamsworth Early HistoryThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Hamsworth research. Another 135 words (10 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Hamsworth History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible. Hamsworth Early Notables (pre 1700)Hamsworth Early Notables (pre 1700)More information is included under the topic Early Hamsworth Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible. Hamsworth In IrelandHamsworth In IrelandSome of the Hamsworth family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt. More information about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible. The Great MigrationThe Great MigrationBecause of the political and religious discontent in England, families began to migrate abroad in enormous numbers. Faced with persecution and starvation at home, the open frontiers and generally less oppressive social environment of the New World seemed tantalizing indeed to many English people. The trip was difficult, and not all made it unscathed, but many of those who did get to Canada and the United States made important contributions to the young nations in which they settled. Some of the first North American settlers with Hamsworth name or one of its variants: William Hemsworth who landed in North America in 1700. MottoMottoThe motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto. Motto: Manus haec inimica tyrannis Motto Translation: This hand is hostile to tyrants. Hamsworth Family Crest ProductsHamsworth Family Crest ProductsSee AlsoSee AlsoCitationsCitations

The Hamsworth Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Hamsworth Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons.

In the 1800s New Englanders traveling from Boston to New Hampshire and points north would find themselves on a beautiful journey through the quaint rolling hills of Atkinson, New Hampshire. Even then, leaving the hustle and bustle of the big city was a welcomed treat.
In Atkinson, many a traveler by stagecoach stopped and stayed at John Merrill's Inn and Tavern. Merrill's Tavern was named after the original Merrill home on Prospect Circle in Atkinson, New Hampshire. James Merrill was the first resident of Atkinson to be granted a permit to operate as a Taverner. The Merrill home was situated on the old road to Londonderry, and was a convenient resting place for weary travelers typically passing by on a Stagecoach (and hence the name Stagecoach Grille). The spirit of hospitality continues on the property today as The Atkinson Resort & Country Club.
The Lewis Group of Companies is derived from a family business started in 1958, by Ralph & Lillian Lewis, along with their son Peter Lewis. Since that time, the Lewis family has been literally "Building Neighborhoods since 1958." Lewis Builders, Inc. has diversified over the years with affiliated companies being launched as the needs of the parent company grew. From Lewis Builders, Inc., companies such as East Coast Lumber & Building Supply Company, Inc., ECL Rentals, Inc., Lewis Builders Development, Inc., Lewis Equipment Company, Inc. and the Hampstead Area Water Company, Inc. were created.
In the 1990's, one of the most ambitious undertakings in land development originated with the construction of the Atkinson Resort & Country Club. Currently, the land surrounding the golf course is being designed for a residential and commercial planned unit development that will be in keeping with the Lewis standard of excellence.

42378 SERVICE DATE – MAY 11, 2012 DO FR-4915-01-P DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Surface Transportation Board [Docket No. FD 35618] Kingman Terminal Railroad, LLC—Operation Exemption—Kingman Airport Authority, Inc. Kingman Terminal Railroad, LLC (KTRR), a noncarrier, has filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 C.F.R. § 1150.31 to operate over approximately 3 miles of track[1] within the Kingman Airport & Industrial Park, in Mohave County, Ariz. (the Line).[2] According to KTRR, the Line has been operated as excepted track by BNSF Railway Company (BNSF). KTRR states that BNSF is voluntarily terminating its switching operation on the Line. KTRR intends to interchange traffic with BNSF. This transaction is related to a concurrently filed verified notice of exemption in Tennessee Southern Railroad Company, Patriot Rail, LLC, Patriot Rail Holdings LLC, and Patriot Rail Corp.—Continuance in Control Exemption—Kingman Terminal Railroad, LLC, Docket No. FD 35619, wherein Tennessee Southern Railroad Company, Patriot Rail, LLC, and its subsidiaries Patriot Rail Holdings LLC and Patriot Rail Corp., seek Board approval to continue in control of KTRR upon KTRR's becoming a Class III rail carrier. According to KTRR, the transaction is expected to be consummated on or after May 27, 2012, the effective date of the exemption (30 days after the notice of exemption was filed). KTRR certifies that its projected annual revenues as a result of this transaction will not exceed those that would make it a Class III carrier and would not exceed $5 million. If the verified notice contains false or misleading information, the exemption is void ab initio. Petitions to revoke the exemption under 49 U.S.C. § 10502(d) may be filed at any time. The filing of a petition to revoke will not automatically stay the effectiveness of the exemption. Petitions to stay must be filed no later than May 18, 2012 (at least 7 days before the exemption becomes effective). An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD 35618, must be filed with the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E Street, S.W., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, a copy of each pleading must be served on Louis E. Gitomer, Law Offices of Louis E. Gitomer LLC, 600 Baltimore Avenue, Suite 301, Towson, MD 21204. Board decisions and notices are available on our website at "WWW.STB.DOT.GOV." Decided: May 8, 2012. By the Board, Rachel D. Campbell, Director, Office of Proceedings. [1] KTRR states that there are no mileposts on the Line. [2] KTRR has filed a copy of the Railroad Lease and Operating Agreement that KTRR has entered into with the Kingman Airport Authority, Inc., a noncarrier. See Anthony Macrie—Continuance in Control Exemption—N.J. Seashore Lines, Inc., FD 35296, slip op. at 3-4 (STB served Aug. 31, 2010). |

Having played together at various parties, producers Koreless (who appeared on Jacques Greene's 2012 EP Concealer) and Sampha (whose vocals are all over SBTRKT's self-titled album) decided it might be a good idea if they started collaborating. Hunkering down in the xx's studio, the pair, now known collectively as Short Stories, have just announced their debut single, the double A-side On the Way and Let It Go. While Let It Go has yet to appear online, you can listen to On the Way above. Built around Sampha's sighs and strangely pitched vocals that seem to be intoning "way beyond the wave", this is dance music you probably shouldn't try dancing to given the shifting time-signatures and off-kilter beats.
• One the Way/Let It Go is out on 28 January via Young Turks.
Sampha teams up with Koreless for this delicate dance track
