"The fountain is fountaining!" announced a colleague last Thursday. He'd passed the French Fountain in the eastern forecourt of the Royal Exhibition Building and noticed that it was flowing for the first time in ages. Years of drought and water restrictions meant the fountain has been out of action. However now that there are over a million litres of water stored in new tanks under the REB's western forecourt, the fountain can run again.
It was recomissioned for the opening of the newly-completed German Garden, a careful restoration of the original garden that stood on the site for the Melbourne International Exhibition in 1880. You'd never know that under the lush lawns and new garden beds – which follow the exact shape of the 1880 design – there's a massive water tank and network of pipes to collect and distribute rainwater. Not only the gardens around the REB, but also Melbourne Museum's Forest Gallery and Milarri Garden will benefit from this new sustainable water supply.

Thursday's event marked the completion of the 18-month project World Heritage, World Futures. Even as the speeches were underway, people were wandering through the new landscape after so many months of it being hidden behind construction hoardings. Special guests, Minister for Consumer Affairs, the Hon Michael O'Brien, and Margaret Gardner AO, President of the Museums Board of Victoria, snipped the ceremonial purple ribbon and declared the garden open.

We are beginning our 30th year bringing extraordinary coins to our customers. Those same customers tell us that they feel many things when working with us.

Town Square
Psst..Hey Buddy, gotta petition?
Original post made by Hal Bailey, Alamo, on Aug 18, 2007
It is all such a beautiful secret, don't you know!
As petition volunteers prepare to meet selectively with incorporation supporters and their neighbors, it remains a secret what plans incorporation proponents have for Alamo. Not only is there not a published plan for the town of Alamo's structure and operations, there is no plan to obligate an elected town council to promises made to the community by incorporation proponents.
So as our friendly petition volunteers come knocking at our doors, it might be very wise to exclaim, "Where's the PLAN..show me the PLAN!
Just for the HAL of it!

Hooray for Hal!
I took time to read the petition posted on www.alamoinc.org this weekend and AIM simply is providing an autonomous town council the opportunity to plan the future of Alamo without Alamo residents' and their neighborhoods' consent.
Now really, does anyone expect the majority to buy that PIG simply because its wearing lipstick?
It is one HAl of a laugh, as Hal might say,

Dear Editor,
As I read all the articles on incorporation since the subject became public in May, I remain surprised that news media has not demanded that incorporation proponents explain their plans for the structure and operations of the city of Alamo. Enough with all the emotional discussion of our "town" and let's get an explanation of exactly how the city of Alamo will operate, under what structure, with what committees and commissions, and what exact relationship with the residents.
Without a operational plan, incorporation remains a pig in lipstick as Lisa described.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Don't use the hot ammo in it at first and don't over heat it and it should be fine. Good luck. Don't forget range report.

Loving winter: holidays in the snow
05 July 2014 , 5:46 AM by Rob Minshull
Surveys and opinion polls are ubquitous: which politicians we like or don't like, which car we want to buy or can't afford, what is our favourite food or drink, where is the best place to live, where we would never want to live ...
According to a Newspoll survey this week, three quarters of Australians say they like winter, one in four say they prefer winter over summer and seventy-five percent say they are interested in a snow holiday.
Interestingly, however, one in five Australians have never seen the snow before! So what is the big deal about a holiday in the snow? Azra Alagic is a Brisbane-based writer and former journalist who now runs a PR-communications company.

Quite simple, you want what you don't have! I grew up in Cairns, North Qld and made my home in Brisbane. I now live in Vienna, Austria where we have snowy winters , 'proper' cold weather and we can drive to the ski fields in an hour. Locals here laugh at me as i am still amazed and enchanted by snow. When i explain that a winter' s day in Brisbane is 20 degrees , i get looks of amazement. But for people here, a beach holiday is what they are dreaming of! Give me the snow anytime over the beach thanks.

Thanks guys! Especially you Lou, would have been a lot harder without your cc rocket and build thread!

Having some trouble finding plunger switches that aren't $15 a piece though.
Yea those switches are just pricey. Mine were 12 each i think, but with the shipping it was like $30 for the 2 or something like that. I figured i put so much into my fett, including a $10 microswitch for the $250 metal ears to turn on the rangefinder lights...so another $30 bucks wont kill me lol.
you can get em here, first one listed, TE connectivity/ ALCOswitch:
But you can use 3 position (right-up-left)toggles that you can position straight up for a cheaper almost accurate look. Those are probably like $7 each or so and can be found at any electronics places like Radio shack or similar.
I bought mini toggle switches on ebay. $3 for a set of three, including shipping. They're not accurate, but they're great if you're on a budget.
Looks great......

Home > News & Events > Events Calendar > Nation of Devils: Democratic Leadership and the Problem of Obedience
In this seminar, Oxford University political theorist Stein Ringen offers a thought-provoking discussion on the art of democratic rule: how does a government persuade the people to accept its authority? Every government must make unpopular demands of its citizens, from levying taxes to enforcing laws and monitoring compliance to regulations. The challenge, Ringen argues, is that power is not enough; the populace must also be willing to be led. Ringen addresses this political conundrum unabashedly, using the United States and Britain as his prime examples, providing sharp opinions and cogent analyses on how the culture of national obedience is created and nurtured. He explores the paths leaders must choose if they wish to govern by authority rather than power, or, as the philosopher Immanuel Kant put it, to "maintain order in a nation of devils."

on the feeding the dogs issue - in pretty much every area there are laws that if you feed an animal X amount of time, you are considered the owner. If the animal causes any damage or become a nuisance then YOU are the one on the hook for the damages.
Here, a family moved away and left a small flock of guinea fowl. A neighbor felt sorry for them when winter-time came and started scattering some grain a few times a week. A driver saw them on the side of the road, swerved and totaled his car. Guess who ended up paying all of the damages and his medical bills?
And totally agree with everyone that feral dogs are dangerous. Add in the fact that a dog pack will actually kill for fun (especially if they have a food source elsewhere!) and you have a recipe for disaster
Sad article - feral dogs kill four people
This article is about feral dogs mauling four people to death in Mexico City. One of the victims was a 1 year old child, two were teenagers, and the 26 year old mother of the baby.
Mexico City feral dog killings open debate - CenturyLink
There have been packs of feral dogs in remote areas here that are quite aggressive towards humans. People have been attacked and killed/eaten.
Unfortunately I think destroying the animals is the only course of action that can be taken.
Wow I didn't know this happened in the United States! It definitely needs taken care of.

This has been my point for a while,but unfortunately it's not a popular one when the conversation is brought up by others. A few people in my rescue 'circle' have told me that they are 'shocked' by my thoughts of eliminating the pack (in as humane a way as possible). You can't save everything unfortunately.

There used to be a pack of feral dogs running around Bowie, MD, had killed small animals, etc. I'd heard about them but never ran into them UNTIL one day I was at a local park eating my lunch at a picnic table. A few of the ferals ran up, bristled, growling, snarling (some stayed back quite a distance) ... I threw my sandwich at them and got the heck out of there. The police and animal control finally eliminated the pack but it took years.

Check out this video: LiveLeak.com - Russian Janitor Saves Girl From Pack Of Dogs!!
This is what CAN happen if dogs are left to roam and form packs.
For cats I agree with the TNR - trap, neuter/spay and release. Their population will eventually die off and they are NOT a threat to humans.
Unfortunately, dogs can be a threat to humans and should not be allowed to form feral packs.
Dogs in a feral pack can be unafraid of people. That makes them more bold and more dangerous.
Agree with robK
There is an interesting case going on here in my city. A woman turned a "stray" dog into the city animal control claiming it was a stray she had been feeding for a couple of years but could not catch. She said she finally caught it and realized it had an "eye injury" (it looked like cherry eye on the news clip) and an imbedded collar. Upon turning it in and telling them the story of how she came to acquire the dog, she was heavily fined because in our city (and I'm sure many others), if you are feeding an animal for x period of time (it was something like two weeks or a month......) then you are responsible for said animal and the assumed owner of it. She changed her story after the fact claiming the dog only came around now and again and she would feed it, but either way, the city considers her responsible for it and she neglected care of the animal by not calling them in regards to the dog at an earlier date and waiting until she could personally catch it.

I think people may mean well,but feeding these dogs can lead to other issues. Some local store owners are saying that they try to feed the dogs to gain their trust.
There used to be a red dog who was always pregnant,but kept a low profile during the day. When she got really hungry though,you would see her running through the neighborhoods the day. Then there was a black male dog who would hang around with her,and probably sired most of the litters.
Last year the red and black dogs were caught along with a few other ferals because they were seen killing a doe. They were taken to shelter and pts.
There was an article in the paper saying that all of the dogs were caught,but there have been some more pregnant females spotted recently.The issue is that these dogs won't come near people and aren't easily caught even with traps.
These dogs have obviously been around for a while and shame on the people who don't feed them, give them water, and/or trap them. Its an ongoing problem and feeding or not feeding them is not the biggest problem here. They need to be taken off the street and either rehabbed or destroyed. I don't blame the dog or dogs for killing the deer, they are trying to survive in a cruel world...what did they do to deserve the life they have? Forget the traps and use tranquilizer guns if need be. This just saddens me, we do not live in a third world country and this kind of stuff shouldn't even be happening.

Mobile applications are radically altering the way businesses operate and how they interact with their employees and customers. The way applications are managed is going to have to change as well. The challenge this poses for IT organisations can be summed up in a single word � performance. The systems and practices most organisations have in place are oriented to the hard-wired infrastructure.
While IT organisations may be able to monitor and manage their legacy applications effectively, the solutions they�re using won�t be adequate for the new complexity mobility brings. They will need new techniques to confidently provide the same high levels of service for mobile applications that their traditional applications deliver � and to meet and exceed customer expectations.

.The page says: "I have never seen anything to indicate that OA evaporation harms the bees, but reason insists that coating bees with acid has to have some deleterious effects."Trickling has been used in commercial scale over 10 years. Results has been splendid. Coating bees with acid - a tiny dust or with sugar glue, it has no meaning. Important is that mites die and the colony has not problems in Spring build up.

Swalwell is situated northeast of Calgary and 100 miles east of the Rockies.

He sold out a couple of years ago and currently keeps only a few colonies. Allen maintains a website at www.honeybeeworld.com and also hosts the website of the Iowa Honey Producers. His website contains a daily diary for several years of his operation and also has cataloged information on a number of beekeeper topics.

I do not know who is this guy who just learn to use poly boxes. He found that hives are too air tight. He had not got teaching what to do with insulated hives.
.Jee jee. Remember remember. You may do your beekeeping as difficult as you want.
Quote from: Finski on February 09, 2012, 05:21:14 PM.Jee jee. Remember remember. You may do your beekeeping as difficult as you want. Finski,According to the Canadian info my bees should have melted by now, been washed away by the condensation, eaten all their stores, over run with brood, over run with mites ... yet none of these has happened. No matter what the temp is outside, they keep the temp inside, the temp they want with no condensation visible even at -8c :)
Finski, I am almost tempted to Prompt my Albertan friend to come on here and defend himself.
Finski do you have an explanation? Do your bees walk around and fan at -26C?
I spent a couple hours reading the Alberta bee keepers diary (Allen Dick). A very impressive log indeed! Loads of information. I wish I was that religious in keeping a bee diary. Sad to read about the health issues, I wish them the best.It is amazing that on Jan 19th he reported seeing bees walking around and fanning the top entrance when it was -26C outside! I'm not sure how you would explain that in a poly hive with only 30mm thick sides. It seems all the bees would need to be in cluster at -26C, even in a poly hive :? Finski do you have an explanation? Do your bees walk around and fan at -26C?

Do you do it?
I do it all the time and I don't know why.
At first I was going to try out Neverwinter with a group of ONRPGERs, then I've changed to playing Fiesta Online and even made a huge love thread here about it.. PFFFFFFT.
It's like.. "Oh my gosh, I'm so inlove with Fiesta" and now it's "Screw Fiesta, it's drama in the couple of academies I've been and was sucking the life out my pocket taking money"
Yes, I said I don't know why I hop a lot, but maybe there is one reason why.. I'm really impatiently waiting on FFXIV: A Realm Reborn and just really want to play it cause I'm an FF Fan and know it will be my dream MMO.
Another reason could be, my mind is telling me to just stay away when I get near drama showing up. (Definitely Fiesta Online, a drama game)
Now, as you see on my signature.. I'm playing 3 games now. Those 3 are holding my interest at the moment.. especially TERA. I see a future with TERA (Hopefully I don't hop this one). I can sorta see staying in this Flyff game for awhile because of the bustling community that they have here and all the welcomes I've got and even a new friend. And DCUO is there because playing a superhero is pretty cool. We'll see if I stick to these 3 games or not.
Am I the only one who's hopped around a bunch of MMORPGs within months?
I might have even played the same ones a couple of times sparking an interest before moving along in a couple days!
I just really cannot wait until FFXIV:ARR is out.
I'm also thinking about playing more MMO's that are coming out soon as well.

How Should You Prepare for Difficult Times?
Reuters reports that within this growing American subculture, "Some are driven by a fear of imminent societal collapse, others are worried about terrorism, and many have a vague concern that an escalating series of natural disasters is leading to some type of environmental cataclysm."
The preppers are not alone in their concern. News headlines from around the world are so unsettling that some people are simply tuning out all news—burying their heads in the proverbial sand.
But others think, What is going on? Why so much instability, upheaval, upset and bad news all at once? With this environment as a backdrop, one recent survey showed that more than six in 10 Americans believe that a "major catastrophic event" will soon strike the nation (USA Today).
One of the leading figures of the prepper movement is James Wesley Rawles, who maintains a popular survivalist blog. In his book How to Survive the End of the World as We Know It: Tactics, Techniques and Technologies for Uncertain Times, he summarizes the thinking that drives preppers: "In the First World, less than 2 percent of the population is engaged in agriculture or fishing…The food on our tables often comes from hundreds if not thousands of miles away. Our heating and lighting are typically provided by power sources hundreds of miles away. For many people, even their tap water travels that far…The average American comes home from work each day to find that his refrigerator is well-stocked with food, his lights come on reliably…his toilet flushes, his paycheck has been automatically deposited to his bank, his garbage has been collected, his house is a comfortable seventy degrees…We've built a very Big Machine that up until now has worked remarkably well, with just a few glitches. But that may not always be the case. As Napoleon found out the hard way, long chains of supply and communication are fragile and vulnerable."
Reuters reported that Mr. Rawles said an upset in this order could lead to "a cascade of higher interest rates, margin calls, stock market collapses, bank runs, currency revaluations, mass street protests, and riots…The worst-case end result would be a Third World War, mass inflation, currency collapses, and long term power grid failures."
Recognizing the fragility of modern commerce and society, many are motivated by fear to look for a way out of what they see as an inevitable breakdown.
Human beings have real physical needs, without which they cannot function or live for very long. These necessities have been abundant in the West, with many government agencies, safety net programs, and charities working to ensure their availability. But in a country that is nearly insolvent, as the owner of a survival supply store stated, "A lot more people have come to maybe not trust that the institutions that were there for us in the past to help protect us would be there in the future…These people, like I am, are interested in becoming more self-reliant and less dependent" (WPTV).
Christians among the prepper movement should consider what Jesus Christ said about these necessities. Did He exhort His followers to practice self-reliance, and to stockpile goods?
Continued: http://realtruth.org/articles/120306-002.html
Black Blade: This country was formed by those religious folk seeking freedom to practice their religions - from Puritans to Catholics to Protestants to Menonites to Mormons and many others throughout the last few centuries. They all had struggled in the early days and this is where "prepping" as a daily fact of life carries over into today for many American Christians. Many still "prep" and their scriptures and teachings often exhort practioners to "prep" for unforeseen events (spiritually and physically). Many "preppers" or "survivalists" I know are religious folk and many others I know are not religious at all. For the non-religious it is often a lifestyle that may be described as "cultural" learned from previous generations of family and community. When it comes to "prepping" it cuts across all strata of American culture. Perhaps we all have that instinct for survival and some memory of our fathers and grandfathers stories of living through "tough times" early in the last century and events happening today make us all a bit uneasy and looking to better our chances at survival. People were more religious in the past as well so it should not be surprising that many Christians are also "Preppers" and "Survivalists".

After the past two games, Packers head coach Mike McCarthy has said that the team's running game "needs to improve" and is "not good enough." Those words are basically challenges toward Alex Green , who has taken on 42 of the 52 total carries in those games. No matter what has been said, McCarthy still wants Green to be his lead back going foward, acccording to Packers beat writer Tom Silverstein.
Fantasy Analysis:
Silverstein cites Green's breakaway speed as the reason why he will remain the starter. James Starks is also available, but he saw just one carry in Week 8. The Packers are unlikely to trade for a running back prior to Thursday's deadline, so Green will keep getting a lot of touches, and he is a low-end RB2 this week against the Cardinals. But a couple more repeats of his recent performances may force McCarthy to install more of a committee attack.

the rear of the 4l60e case is open in a 4x4 application. The t-case is sealed at the front.
Often these adapters become warped and not flat where the gasket needs to seal. You can unbolt the adapter from t he back of the 4l60e trans. Flat sand that area on something large enough to bring the surface back to level.
A square cut O-ring seals up the t-case adapter to the 4l60e case
2002 4L60E 4wd Suburban Leak at ectension tube
I have a put a rebuilt 4l60e trans in my 2002 suburban. I have had a leAK at the extension tube between the transfer case and the extension tube between the trans.
I just replaced the gasket and I still get a leak there.
I am under the impression from reading elsewhere that the trans has no rear seal on the 4wd setup the extension tube is the seal.
when looking at the rear of the trans without the extension tube on there is no rear seal.
My question is should there be something there to seal the rear of the trans or is the extension tube the seal.?
Any thoughts as to why I have a leak. I did resurface the gasket area with a abrasive disk to remove the leftover bits of gasket,
I'm stumped.
Thanks for your thoughts in advance

Ann Coulter vs. Canada
Ann: +1
Canada: 0
March 24, 2010
Since arriving in Canada I've been accused of thought crimes, threatened with criminal prosecution for speeches I hadn't yet given, and denounced on the floor of the Parliament (which was nice because that one was on my "bucket list").
Posters advertising my speech have been officially banned, while posters denouncing me are plastered all over the University of Ottawa campus. Elected officials have been prohibited from attending my speeches. Also, the local clothing stores are fresh out of brown shirts.
Welcome to Canada!
The provost of the University of Ottawa, average student IQ: 0, wrote to me widely disseminating his letter to at least a half-dozen intermediaries before it reached me in advance of my visit in order to recommend that I familiarize myself with Canada's criminal laws regarding hate speech.
This marks the first time I've ever gotten hate mail for something I might do in the future.
Apparently Canadian law forbids "promoting hatred against any identifiable group," which the provost, Francois A. Houle advised me, "would not only be considered inappropriate, but could in fact lead to criminal charges."
I was given no specific examples of what words and phrases I couldn't use, but I take it I'm not supposed to say, "F- you, Francois."
While it was a relief to know that it is still permissible in Canada to promote hatred against unidentifiable groups, upon reading Francois' letter, I suddenly realized that I had just been the victim of a hate crime! And it was committed by Francois A. Houle (French for "Frank A. Hole").
What other speakers get a warning not to promote hatred? Did Francois A. Houle send a similarly worded letter to Israel-hater Omar Barghouti before he spoke last year at U of Ottawa? ("Ottawa": Indian for "Land of the Bed-Wetters.")
How about Angela Davis, Communist Party member and former Black Panther who spoke at the University of Zero just last month?
Or do only conservatives get letters admonishing them to be civil? Or my suspicion is it only conservative women who fuel Francois' rage?
How about sending a letter to all Muslim speakers advising them to please bathe once a week while in Canada? Would that constitute a hate crime?
I'm sure Canada's Human Rights Commission will get to the bottom of Francois' strange warning to me, inasmuch as I will be filing a complaint with that august body, so I expect they will be reviewing every letter the university has sent to other speakers prior to their speeches to see if any of them were threatened with criminal prosecution.
Both writer Mark Steyn and editor Ezra Levant have been investigated by the Human Rights Commission for promoting hatred toward Muslims.
Levant's alleged crime was to reprint the cartoons of Mohammed originally published in a Danish newspaper, leading practitioners of the Religion of Peace to engage in murderous violence across the globe. Steyn's alleged crime was to publish an excerpt of his book, "America Alone" in Maclean's magazine, in which he jauntily described Muslims as "hot for jihad."
Both of them also flew jet airliners full of passengers into skyscrapers in lower Manhattan, resulting in thousands of deaths. No, wait that was somebody else.
Curiously, however, there was no evidence that either the cartoons or the column did, in fact, incite hatred toward Muslims nor was there the remotest possibility that they would.
By contrast, conservative speakers are regularly subjected to violent attacks on college campuses. Bill Kristol, Pat Buchanan, David Horowitz and I have all been the targets of infamous campus attacks.
That's why the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute (a sponsor of my Canada speeches) and the Young America's Foundation (a sponsor of many of my college speeches) don't send conservatives to college campuses without a bodyguard.
You'd have to be a real A-Houle not to anticipate that accusing a conservative of "promoting hatred" prior to her arrival on a college campus would in actuality not in liberal fantasies of terrified Muslims cowering in terror of Mark Steyn readers incite real-world violence toward the conservative.
The university itself acknowledged that Francois' letter was likely to provoke violence against me by demanding long after my speech was scheduled, but immediately after Francois disseminated his letter that my sponsors pony up more than $1,200 for extra security.
Also following Francois' letter, the Ottawa University Student Federation met for 7 1/2 hours to hammer out a series of resolutions denouncing me. The resolutions included:
"Whereas Ann Coulter is a hateful woman;
"Whereas she has made hateful comments against GLBTQ, Muslims, Jews and women;
"Whereas she violates an unwritten code of 'positive-space';
"Be it resolved that the SFUO express its disapproval of having Ann Coulter speak at the University of Ottawa."
At least the students didn't waste 7 1/2 hours on something silly, like their studies.
At the risk of violating anyone's positive space, what happened to Canada? How did the country that gave us Jim Carrey, Mike Myers, Martin Short, Dan Aykroyd and Catherine O'Hara suddenly become a bunch of whining crybabies?
Want to hear my favorite Canadian joke? OK, here goes: Francois Houle! I never get tired of that one.
After Tuesday night, the hatred incited by Francois' letter is no longer theoretical. The police called off my speech when the auditorium was surrounded by thousands of rioting liberals screaming, blocking the entrance, throwing tables, demanding that my books be burned, and finally setting off the fire alarm.
Sadly, I missed the book burning because I never made it to the building.
But, reportedly, a Canadian crowd hasn't been this excited since they opened a new Tim Hortons. Local reporters couldn't make out what the crowd was chanting, but it was something about "Molson" and a "sled dog."
I've given more than 100 college speeches, and not once has one of my speeches been shut down at any point. Even the pie-throwing incident at the University of Arizona didn't break up the event. I said "Get them!", the college Republicans got them, and then I continued with my rambling, hate-filled diatribe I mean, my speech.
So we've run this experiment more than 100 times.
Only one college speech was ever met with so much mob violence that the police were forced to cancel it: The one that was preceded by a letter from the university provost accusing me of hate speech.
(To add insult to injury, Francois didn't even plan to attend my speech because Tuesday is his bikini wax night.)
If a university official's letter accusing a speaker of having a proclivity to commit speech crimes before she's given the speech which then leads to Facebook postings demanding that Ann Coulter be hurt, a massive riot and a police-ordered cancellation of the speech is not hate speech, then there is no such thing as hate speech.
Either Francois goes to jail or the Human Rights Commission is a hoax and a fraud.

Who in the hell is ann coulter?
I don't take kindly to people visiting our country to give a speech for what I am assuming is a hefty fee and then get upset if we won't care what they have to say and shut them down. This fancois is a nobody for a university who gives 2 shits what he has to say anyways? This broad takes one guy's comments as an excuse to bad mouth canadians as whole? I will happily give her a valid reason to badmouth cancuks if she ever wants to visit us again.

Yes I see the point they should have put up with whatever she had to say, however they didn't bash all of america because they didn't like what she had to say.
I am just happy that some canadians took a stand on something regardless of what it is as we are all a bunch of pushovers these days. College kids no less.

You should care that she was threatened not about the other shit. That was wrong.
Other than that it as far as I can gather, the majority of a university audience as well as a staff member did not want someone speaking on their campus and took a stand to make sure they couldn't be heard. according to your link it was 200 to 1 against her.
I don't agree with threating a woman much less a visitor to our country but she can take can take her crybaby insults and shove em.

Arsenal Football Club can confirm that goalkeeper Vito Mannone has joined Championship side Hull City on loan until January 2011.
The 22 year-old joined Arsenal in 2005 from Atalanta, made his first team debut against Stoke City in a 4-1 victory in May 2009 following a loan spell at Barnsley where he played four times.
Vito started for the Gunners last season in the 3-2 Champions League win at Standard Liege and went on to make eight appearances in a good autumn run - not once being on a losing Arsenal side.
A highly-productive campaign also saw him capped by Italy Under-21s for the first time.
Vito will immediately join up with Hull City and will stay on loan with Nigel Pearson's side until January 3, 2011.

If you're an MS Word table user then it's quite possible that you've spent some time trying figure out how to wrap the text of your document around the table.
There isn't an overly obvious answer so I'm sure that many of you have just given up on truly wrapping the text around the table.
For those of you who have unsuccessfully searched here's what you need to know.
As always, before you can wrap text you must already have the table in the document. Once it is there then right-click on the table.
From the menu that opens choose Table Properties.
(For those of you with Word 2007… you can also find reach the Table Properties dialog box using the Table Tools, Layout tab of the Ribbon, Table Properties button.)
Now that everyone is in the Table Properties dialog window you need the Table tab.
The bottom section is where you'll find your two text wrapping choices.
If you select Around and click OK you'll find that the text in your document has nicely wrapped itself well… around the table.
This works the same way text wrapping works with graphics – you move the table and the text readjusts to wrap around its new location.
Time for me to "wrap it up"!

Video: Samsung KN55S9C OLED TV
Tara W. has worked for Crutchfield since 2004. She writes about whole-house music and video gear, and works on Crutchfield's video team.
More from Tara W.
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
Samsung's 55" KN55S9C OLED TV is a beautiful blend of technology and art. The ultra-thin, gently curved panel and elegantly minimalist frame are the first clues to this TV's revolutionary nature. OLED is a truly new screen technology — it's not based on LCD or plasma, and has major advantages over both.
OLED stands for Organic Light Emitting Diode, and it's the organic part that makes this technology a real game-changer. OLED screens actually use an organic material that glows when it's activated by an electric current. The screen's pixel layer is made of this self-illuminating carbon-based material — each pixel produces its own light and color, and can be independently switched on and off, so there's no need for a backlight.

Details of Hollywood Undead and the Ticket Luck value
The goalie-masked Hollywood Undead is an emerging rap rock rage from Los Angeles. This band was formed in 2005 and they seized their fame from My Space by uploading their songs. The band members include Charlie Scene, Da Kurlzz, Deuce, Funny Man Johnny 3 Tears and J-Dog. Shady Jeff was also a significant member of the band at the time of origination but later he left them leaving behind the current members. Charlie Scene in the band is the lyrical genius and has also directed the new video of "everywhere I go". J Dog is the sweet talker in the songs while Da Kurlzz is the loud voice. The lead singer of the band is Deuce. Funny man and Johny 3 Tears are the African baritone and the server respectively.
The musical inspiration of the group includes Brassknuckles Bud Ice, HOLLYWOOD California, Cahuenga blvd, Camo, Cigarettes, Designer Jeans Mickey's 40's, Freestyling, Hibbidy Hop, HXC, OUR FANS, Pro Tools, partying, Riding Bikes Drunk, Subway Sandwiches, Shitty Society, Sidekicks, Tattoo's And The Powerhouse. Their musical tone is dominated with metallic rock and rap core incorporating strong beating drums, piano and electric guitars. Their vocals is combination of sounds integrate rap with rock and sweet pop tone using combating qualities as a way of expression. The subject matter of their music connotes towards the destructive drive, unrest and emptiness of life. Their music is for the youth who can connect with their anger and their songs serve as an outlet. The band does not restrict itself to one genre and always believes in experimenting.
The Hollywood Undead's song "the kids" was their claim to fame in 2005. The band members Deuce and J-Dog posted it on their MySpace profile. In weeks their song became a rage on MySpace with millions of hits and soon they became the top unsigned artists on MySpace. In 2008 Virgin Mobile Festival was their debutant live performance after winning around 3 million of votes in book the band contest against four contemporary bands.
In 2008 Hollywood Undead released their first album entitled as "The Swans Songs". The name of the album refers to the last song swan sings before she dies and the name is an ironical connotation to their first album. Their album featured tracks like Undead, Sell Your Soul, Everywhere I Go, No Other Place, No. 5, Young, My Black Dahlia, This Love, This Hate, Bottle and a Gun, California, City, The Diary, Pimpin and Paradise Lost. Along with these tracks special edition featured bonus tracks as well. The music videos of Undead, Young, No.5 and Everywhere I Go are already released and the album sold over 21,000 copies in its first week. Madden NFL 09 soundtrack and UFC 2009 Undisputed incorporates the swan songs' second single Undead in it. The Stephen Sommer's live-action film G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra also uses instrumental version of Undead in their promo. Their song "Young" is featured as background score of an Xbox game Velvet Assassin.
The band created their musical album one year, while it took them two years to find a recording company. They had to work hard to find a company that would release their songs uncensored and finally they found A&M/Octone Records. The album stayed for many weeks in the Billboard 200 by hitting a spot in the first week of the release.
The Band has later on released Swan Songs B-Sides EP through iTunes and is touring various regions including Japan, Europe, UK and US. The band is also performing with great artists like Linkin Park and Tools. The Vatos Locos Tour is also an exciting event coming forward.

Category: Malia baby name
The top baby names 2009 were announced yesterday by the Social Security Administration, and the big news is that Isabella unseated Emma as the top girls' name. Jacob remains for its 11th year atop the boys' list.
Emma claimed the top spot for just one year before she was unseated by Isabella, the Spanish and Italian variation of Elizabeth that's motored from the bottom of the top 1000 to Number 1 in the past two decades. Elizabeth itself has just fallen off the list, while Mia moved on.
Olivia and Sophia, which might be thought of as sister names to Isabella, also moved up.
Ethan is the new number 2 for boys, with Jayden, as in the name of Britney Spears' son, and Noah newcomers to the Top 10, with longtime favorites Christopher and Matthew falling off.
Maliyah, along with Malia, was the fastest rising name for girls, inspired by the First Daughter. Cullen, surname of the Twilight hero, was the fastest rising boys' name, with number 1 Jacob and Bella, as in Isabella, also claiming a Twilight connection.
Other pop culture-influenced names on the rise include Isla, Khloe, Scarlett, Violet, and Valentina for girls, with Jett, Romeo, and Maddox for boys. Moving down are Lindsay, Rihanna, and Tori.
We'll be blogging lots more on the Top Baby Names 2009 over the coming days and weeks.
What are the names that gained the most attention this year, symbolizing how far we've come and where we're heading next? The election, of course, figured heavily in deciding on the most influential names of 2008, as did popular culture and the economy. Here are our top ten picks for the Names of the Year.
1. BARACK – How did an obscure Hebrew/Arabic/Swahili name that means thunderbolt, lightning, and/or blessing come to inspire a wave of baby namesakes? The same way a self-professed "skinny black kid with a funny name" came to be the 44th president of the United States. Barack is exactly the kind of singular, ethnic, family name that the next generation of parents is bound to celebrate.
2. MILEY – It may be Destiny (which was her original given name) that little Miley Cyrus adopted the nickname given to her by her father Billy Ray because she was so smiley, which, thanks to the stupendous success of Hannah Montana, has become one of the fastest rising girl's names, debuting on the popularity charts at number 278. Over 2,000 baby girls were named Miley, Mylee or Mylie in the last year counted, and boy cousins Milo and Miles are also climbing the charts.
3. JOE – Joe – the Plumber, Six-Pack, and Biden – was 2008's Everyman, hailed and scorned by candidates on both sides of the election. The ultimate good guy name, Joe is short for Joseph – an important figure in both the Old and New Testaments – which has been among the Top 15 Boy's Names since the Social Security Administration started keeping records in 1880. It was rarely mentioned that the real Joe the Plumber's name was actually Sam.
4. RUBY – A new generation of hip mamas and cool dads has given rise to a whole new class of Hipster Baby Names: quirky choices long dormant and only now revived by adventurous baby namers bent on making parenthood and babies stylish. Tops on the hipster favorites list, along with Ruby, are such choices as Oscar, Matilda, Rufus, and Sadie.
5. EDWARD – The alluring vampire hero of Stephenie Myers' Twilight series has single-handedly turned the slightly awkward, old-fashioned classic Edward into an unlikely candidate for the hottest, edgiest name in town.
6. TRIG — Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin was a maverick baby namer, with the choices she made for her five children receiving nearly as much attention as her wardrobe and her televised gaffes. Place names with personal meaning figured heavily in Palin's choices, with oldest son Track named for his parents' love of running, daughters Bristol and Willow named for favorite Alaska places, and Piper chosen because, according to First Dude Todd Palin, "it was a cool name." Infant son Trig's name is Norse for "strength" and middle name Paxson is another Alaska place name.
7. JANUARY– As Betty Draper, the heroine of the TV hit Mad Men set in the early 1960s, gorgeous actress January Jones introduced her own thoroughly modern name that straddles old and new, a perfect choice as we enter a new age of Camelot. January is also representative of a whole calendar-related genre of names, such as Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's little girl Sunday Rose and such newly-stylish choices as May, June, August, and Winter.
8. BRONX– – The Crazy Starbaby Name of the Year Award goes to – no contest — Bronx Mowgli, newborn son of rockers Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz. But Bronx—as opposed to the popular Brooklyn— is about as likely to catch on with non-celebrity baby namers as Kipling-Disney middle name Mowgli.
9. SASHA– Everyone's making a fuss over the names of older Obama daughter Malia and power-named mom Michelle, but we think Sasha is more worthy of being a Name of the Year. In the second First Daughter's case, Sasha is short for Natasha. Russian names have quickly gone from heavy-footed to fashionable, thanks to the cadre of long-legged supermodels who've imported them to Western Europe and the U.S. Usually a male nickname for Alexander, it was spelled Sascha by Jessica and Jerry Seinfeld, who used it for their daughter.
10. CASH—The economy's tanked and we're cutting up our credit cards, so where should we turn but to Cash, the baby name choice of almost a thousand parents last year. It has celebrity cred via Cash (real name) Warren, inamorata of Jessica Alba and baby-daddy of Honor Marie, and as son of actress Annabeth Gish.

Well, son-of-a-gun, Nuke, ya got me thinking some about my past ! Now, my past was a long, long time ago, but some of the ancient concepts may still apply. Let's see:
A good guy shoots at a bad guy. Consider "fire" probability (a discharge occurs), then, "hit probability" (the bad guy takes the projectile), then "kill probability (the bad guy is ineffective), then lethality (the bad guy, or assembly of bad guys, is/are dead). The bad guy can be one individual, a bunker, a tank, a plane, etc. With respect to handguns, I think the military, the LEO's and the civilians have different concepts and ideals with respect to the defeat of the bad guys. Let's assume that the military shooters are in groups: They are all trained, but the good ones survive to do it again and again. They learn to use what they are provided or what they can get on their own. The LEO's are also trained but rarely engage in a life threatening situation. They may swager a bit, but most of their time is spent in non-threatening situations. So---what do they need--- something easily controlled and relatively reliable (hit probability). Since there appears to be no "thing" as stopping power in a handgun, multiple hits appear to be a worthy goal. Us civilians, however, appear to be able to afford good weaponary, lotsa training (our own $$$), lotsa interest and desire, and sincere motivation to "do good" with respect to our loved ones and neighbors. We are rarely at risk but practice frequently.
I was trained that "2 in the body and 1 in the head" was perfection. I am now old-----my objective is for as many hits to the body as I can manage. It is easier to miss the head than the body. Does it make any difference which bullet (9mm, 357SIG, 40S&W, 45) hits the body ? Sure----but out of 4 shots, how many hits can you (me) deliver. I'll take the 9mm and hope for lotsa hits.
About the long gun change in objective: If I remember correctly, the .223 "tumbles" a bit during it's path toward the target. WOW ! A high velocity tumbling mass vs. a moderate velocity linear mass. Think about it. I do not want to be behind a brick wall if being shot at with a barrage of .223 ammo.
I do not think there is a definate answer to your question/quandry, but I think there are definate answers to situations that are significant to survival in the most confronted situations of the group (military, LEO, civilians) trying to survive.
I am now a non-combatant. I want to protect my loved ones and myself. I will use that which is comfortable and "lethal" for the encounters I somehow expect. The second sentence of the second paragraph is my mantra.
Keep thinking, Nuke, you are on the right track. You are the future.

IBM #1 in Oracle Benchmark
Oracle provides a suite of vendor benchmarks to measure the performance of Oracle applications called the Oracle E-Business Suite Standard Benchmark. This benchmark is a comparable standard workload which demonstrates the performance and scalability of Oracle applications and provides metrics for the comparison of performance on different system configurations.
IBM just published another #1 POWER7 benchmark result on one of Oracle's own benchmarks. The IBM Power 710 6-core system now leads in the R12 Order-to-Cash Medium Model. IBM surpassed Cisco and HP in this benchmark by over 2 times the performance per core. (1)
So my question here is what happens when Oracle decides to have a hardware presence in this specific benchmark? Are we taking bets?
(1)A 6-core IBM Power 710 (3.72 GHz) achieved the best medium two-tier Order-to-Cash batch result (213,523 lines per hour) running AIX 6.1 and IBM System Storage DS5100. A 12-core Cisco UCS B200 (3.33 GHz) achieved medium two-tier Order-to-Cash batch result (185,643 lines per hour). An 8-core HP DL380 (3.16 GHz) achieved medium two-tier Order-to-Cash batch result (108,108 lines per hour).

Exadata Buckeye Brouhaha
While IBM has been publishing detailed ads and press releases backed by meticulous industry standard benchmark results, it's certainly not a given in the rest of the industry.
Yesterday, Oracle once again published a press release which claimed performance on their Exadata system.
Was this claim backed by industry standard data? No. Was this claim backed by a proof of concept? No. Was this claim backed by a white paper with data? No.
This claim was something that Oracle tells us was seen by one of their customers. With headquarters in Ohio. Land of the Wright Brothers and good Midwest values. Land of LeBron and Jimmy Dimora.
I can say this because I live in Ohio. And I love it but I still wouldn't trust my neighbor further than a pig's ear without any data.

Popol Vuh
The follow-up two years later, In den Garten Pharaos, was Popol Vuh's creative breakthrough, an intensely meditative work fusing ambient textures with organic percussion. In its wake, however, Fricke converted to Christianity, a move which sparked a rejection of electronics in favor of traditional ethnic instrumentation including guitars, oboe, and tamboura; he then tapped korean soprano Djong Yun to lend vocals to 1972's lovely Hosianna Mantra. Fricke next teamed with one-time Amon Düül II drummer Daniel Fichelscher for the next Popol Vuh LP, Seligpreisung; its follow-up, 1975's Einsjager & Siebenjager, remains widely considered among the group's most stunning efforts. That same year, they began a lengthy creative partnership with the celebrated filmmaker Werner Herzog which yielded soundtracks for features including Aguirre: The Wrath of God, Fitzcarraldo, and Nosferatu.
Throughout the latter half of the '70s, Popol Vuh's fascination with global sounds and instruments continued, with the prominence of sitars, tablas, and tamboura percussion on LPs like 1977's Herz aus Glas and 1979's Die Nacht der Seele: Tantric Songs earning their latter-day sound descriptions like "raga rock." In 1978, Fricke founded the Working Group for Creative Singing and also became a member of the Breathing Therapy Society, traveling the world to lecture on both subjects; ultimately, his outside passions began to overshadow his work in Popol Vuh, and as the '80s dawned, the group began losing steam, calling it quits after 1983's excellent Agape Agape. After reuniting two years later for Spirit of Peace, Fricke again reassembled Popol Vuh for the 1997 LP Shepherd's Symphony. ~ Jason Ankeny

Highland • Being Utah's top-ranked team is a tough job.
After thumping Archbishop Mitty (San Jose, Calif.) on Monday morning at the Spalding Hoop Hall Classic in Springfield, Mass., in front of a nationally-televised audience, the Lone Peak Knights awaited a cross-country flight, and, more importantly, a showdown with region rival Bingham.
The Knights returned home around midnight Tuesday and had a very quick turnaround against a feisty 11-win Miner team at home that night.
But Lone Peak didn't show any fatigue.
The Knights instead did something they hadn't done all year they eclipsed the 90-point mark in their 92-57 win over Bingham on Tuesday night to improve to 16-1.
"I was really happy that our guys were tough enough to be on the road and travel for 12 hours and to come back and have that type of a game," Lone Peak coach Quincy Lewis said. "Bingham is not a bad team, we just did a good job."
Junior guard TJ Haws and senior center Eric Mika led the way, pacing the Knights with 24 points apiece in the rout.
But a notable story line from Tuesday night was the ejection of senior guard Nick Emery in the second quarter.
Lone Peak's all-time leading scorer was assessed a technical foul early in the first quarter after a hard foul on a Bingham player moments after Emery appeared to be on the receiving end of an equally rough foul that wasn't whistled.
The second technical that led to his ejection came with 49 seconds left in the second quarter. Emery once again was fouled hard while on the receiving end of an around-the-back pass from Haws under the basket. With the Bingham player draped over him, Emery appeared to give him a push and was whistled for his second technical foul.
He was not made available for comment after the game.
"Bottom line is no matter what anybody does to him, he can't react that way. It's that simple," Lewis said, adding that he'd have to watch the tape to see if either of the calls was worthy of a technical.
Lewis said Lone Peak would have to wait to see if the state's rules on ejections mandate a mandatory one-game suspension for Emery. The Knights are scheduled to host Lehi on Friday.
Haws, who scored 13 points in the first quarter, said his team learned that it has to be "mentally tough" as the season wears on.
"Teams are going to come out and give us their best shot, and they're going to try and get into our heads and do whatever it takes to beat us," he said. "We just have to make sure we keep our cool."
Along with Mika and Haws, Lone Peak's offensive explosion came with Emery the team's leading scorer. He finished with eight points in less than a half of action. Seniors Talon Shumway and Conner Toolson finished with 12 and 11 points, respectively.
If Emery is absent from Friday's game, Lone Peak has the luxury of multiple scoring options. Included in that is the hot hand of Toolson, who has hit eight 3-pointers in his last two games.
"My shot's felt good," he said, "so I've just kept shooting."
When asked to assess the outing that produced both the best offensive output of the season along with the ejection of his star player, Lewis laughed and said, "Twilight Zone game."

If you remove the oriental inspirations and focus your attention on the pairs that curve a lick of red leather onto a black body, Jason Wu's fall 2012 shoe collection might look a little like it's playing in the same space as Prada's hot rod heel. But that little hint of flame-like red is where the similarities end. Instead the exotic influences dominate with plush decisiveness, whether it's oriental floral silk or richly hued velvet. The mules, ballet flats and kitten heels form a contingent of stylish comfort in this collection, but they're not the aesthetic winners. The platform pumps, strappy high-heeled sandals, and androgynous velvet slipper loafers draw a three-way tie on that prize.
The thing about Wu's collection is that is conjures up a particular image of oriental opulence and sensual exoticism, but at the same time doesn't require pairings of fierce leather from Ancient Empire or all-over silk and mandarin collars. Instead it's the perfect fodder for clashing prints and textures and inspirations into an eclectic and carefree fall mix.
View the full collection of Jason Wu's fall 2012 footwear at the gallery above.
