You can delete my entry on the list. I traded in my high-mileage WRX for a 2007 Forester 2.5 X w/ premium package a week ago. I'm sure missing it! But, I needed something more practical, more room, less insurance, and less $$$ at the pump.
Since I'm an advid car buyer, I've already decided I'll most likely jump back into the WRX or even an STI in about 2 years.
For the time being I can drive my Dad's WRX whenever I want to.

Protecting carbon to destroy forests: land enclosures and REDD+
View full report
This paper argues that REDD+ will not stop forest destruction developing countries and the underlying causes of deforestation remain untouched. The paper suggests that because REDD+ is embedded in the logic that environmental destruction in one location can be compensated in another, it acts to reinforce the underlying drivers of deforestation and climate change. It also gives forest destroyers a way to legitimise their actions as environmentally friendly or carbon neutral. The paper continues that far from positioning itself as an ally to the many local groups that have preserved forested lands most strongly, REDD+ tends to silence debates about the unjust realities surrounding corporate pressures on land tenure regimes. The paper aims to provide a historical background and experiences on the ground in order to further the argument that because land and nature enclosures are central to its operation, REDD+ cannot be fixed.

Reception Hall Information
Colerain Township, Ohio, June 2, 2016 — The Cincinnati Donauschwaben Society announced today that it will celebrate its 6th annual Schwabenfest on Friday, June 10 and Saturday, June 11. The German organization, located in Colerain Township Township and famous for its authentic Oktoberfest celebration, will roast a 750-pound Ox in a rotisserie.
Inspired by the mechanical Ox consisting of a "locomobile" mounted on four iron wheels and a rotisserie with a revolving spit, an enclosure and a smokestack created by German butcher named Johann Rossler, Schwabenfest has become a great way to relax and enjoy the Spring weather. It is the only festival in the Cincinnati area featuring an authentic whole ox roast.
New to the festival this year will be a special keg tapping ceremony featuring Christian Moerlein beer and Moerlein inspired sauces to serve with the Ox dinners. The festival promises an Oktoberfest-like setting, live entertainment by the Donauschwaben dancers, the return of the Donauschwaben stein holding contest, in addition to live music provided by local bands Saffire Express (Friday night), Squeeze Play (Saturday afternoon) and Alp'n Zaub'n (Saturday evening).
"The Donauschwaben Society's mission has always been to preserve and celebrate our German heritage," said Nick Krummen, Schwabenfest co-chair. "We are excited to bring back the Ox roasting tradition to Cincinnati for the third year in a row and add a local flavor to the festival with Christian Moerlein and OTR Cider Co."
Beer selections for Schwabenfest will include local beers from Christian Moerlein, the Donauschwaben's house beer Schwabenlager, OTR Cider Co., which recently debuted at the Taste of Cincinnati, and others. Food items will include our delicious homemade sausage dinners, Oxen Roast with beer inspired sauces (Saturday only), pretzel sandwiches with ham or turkey, homemade apple and cherry strudel, Bavarian cream puffs, and more.
The 6th Annual Schwabenfest will take place on Friday, June 10 from 6 p.m. to Midnight and Saturday, June 11 from 1 p.m. to Midnight. Entrance into the festival will cost $3 per person. Onsite parking will be available. For more information about Schwabenfest, visit our website at www.cincydonau.com, find us on Facebook, and follow us on Twitter.

Last week's release of The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones marked, for many, a new low in the burgeoning world of fan fiction. The film, the first in a projected series based on Cassandra Clare's novels, is a mash-up of popular fantasy worlds that barely bothers to cover its tracks, and it's duly suffering at the hands of the critics. "Methadone for Twi-Hards," quipped one, repeating a common sentiment.Clare's original stories were fan fiction of Harry Potter villain Draco Malfoy, but her d … [Read more...]

Huddersfield squandered the chance to go second in npower League One when they were held to a 1-1 draw by Carlisle at the Galpharm Stadium.
Carlisle started the game a point outside the play-offs and they made the ideal start when they took the lead in the eighth minute. Francois Zoko passed from the left of the penalty area and on-loan Sunderland man Liam Noble slotted the ball into the bottom left of the goal.
However, the Terriers drew level through Jordan Rhodes' 18th goal of the season. Tommy Miller passed from the right with Rhodes sending home a right-footed shot for his 18th goal of the season.
Tranmere claimed a welcome win when they beat Bury 2-0 thanks to goals by Joss Labadie and Ash Taylor.
The hosts took the lead in the 24th minute when Labadie drilled home a 20-yard shot.
Mark Carrington almost levelled just before half-time but his shot was tipped round the post by Paul Rachubka.
Tranmere then sealed victory when Taylor slotted home from the six-yard box in the final minute.

<update> Read my review about the Belkin IEEE 1394 Fire Wire card to find out how to transfer DV to your computer. If you are not a Dooyoo user, please leave me a comment where you found this opinion. Thank you. </update> Ever wanted to make your own movies? The Sony DCR-TVR20 brings you very close to what you ever wanted to do. Record digital movies, transfer them to your computer for editing and then transfer a finished product back to the 'miniDV' tape. Because of the digital format, all this is done without any loss. Make it more fun by adding own soundtracks or by creating a VideoCD to send to family and friends. The Sony camera is a digital camcorder and a digital camera in one. The resolution of the video footage is 520 horizontal and gives very sharp videos. Resolution of the stills is 1152 x 864 pixels. This is not comparable with digital cameras of today, but more than enough for web purposes and small printouts. The video footage is stored on 'miniDV' cassettes that usually have space for 60-90 minutes of video. The stills are stored on 'memory sticks' (a Sony product that can store up to 64MB of data) and can be transferred to a PC with supplied serial cable. Images from the memory stick can be overlaid over the video footage to create neat effects in real time. Choose from framing, titling Photo, "blue screen" and "stills in motion" effects. Other video effects that the Sony camera offers are (among others): sepia, B&W, negative, slow shutter, trail and several faders. If you plan to transfer your digital video to your computer you will have to purchase a Fire Wire (iLink 1394 interface) adapter for your PC. The cheapest ones I have seen are for £50 but it is well worth it because it will bring you to a new level of video editing. The battery life depends on which battery you are using. With the standard battery, you can e
asily use the camera for up to 110 minutes. If you use the largest battery around, a running time of up to 8 hrs is promised. How much you use the colour LCD has a great importance on the battery life. Use the viewfinder to save battery life. The LCD has a resolution of 246k dots, making images very sharp and detailed during playback or when monitoring recording. 270° rotation allows you to see your subjects and your shot at the same time, from virtually any angle. Choose one of the pre-programmed auto exposure programs that suit the shooting occasion. 'Sports' for high speed performance, 'Beach & Ski' to eliminate back-light, 'Portrait' to enhance foreground, 'Landscape' to avoid near object focusing, 'Spotlight' to avoid white faces and 'Sun & Moon' for moody lightning. The camera is also equipped with Sony's 'Nightshot' which enables you to shoot in complete darkness (0lux). This is achieved by illuminating an object with IR light and it works amazingly well. All together, this camcorder will give you the power to create near professional video footages of anything in your interest. In addition, the Sony camera is also able to take good still images onto a very portable medium, the 'memory stick'. If my opinion was useful to you, please register with DooYoo. Maybe even check out my other opinions?

What CUE software do you have?
I am curious what software version everyone has on their CUE system. I called CUE support and their response was that everyone has the same software but I question that. How do I know if you won't give me a version I should have so I can verify it...
I have:
2013 Cadiallac ATS Base Model - CUE without Navigation - Software 23150271, Gracenote 22993544
What do you have? (FYI - Snap a pict so you have the numbers.)

Re: What CUE software do you have?
Everyone does NOT have the same version of CUE. (There have been updates available for installation by dealers.)
You might call the service department at your dealer with your VIN and ask them to research which version of CUE is the latest. They'd likely to be able to research it and let you know if there's an update available.
Re: What CUE software do you have?
I get that their might be different versions of software, but this is directly opposite of what CUE support said. They said everyone has the same version. They also said updates are sent out via OnStar. I guess I am just curious what versions people have. I would think that everyone with a 2013 ATS without Navigation for example should have the same version. And if mine is significant less than others, then maybe that is why I can't even get CUE functions others seem to be able to use to work.
At some point, there is a "current version", period. My dealer seems clueless. The CUE support line says my car is up to date without even knowing what version my system has, saying "all systems have the same software updated by OnStar". So when I can't use Pandora, my wife can't even get the system to dial anything on her phone by saying the numbers (CUE basically won't recognize her voice), and neither of us can dial via name, it would be nice to know for sure we have the latest software before I ask the dealer to either get the basic CUE functions to work in some way or take the car back. My Chevy without CUE allows me to store name/number combinations and voice dial by name. Simple but it works. My wife not being able to voice dial in some way entirely defeats the main reason we spent $35,000 and in particular spent $3,000 more to get the CUE system.
Re: What CUE software do you have?
I find it VERY hard to believe that CUE gets updated via On-Star without owner authorization. GM rolled out an adaptive headlight update via OnStar and owners had to positively respond to an authorization email before that would happen. Cadillac has way too many lawyers to let them secretly alter YOUR property. Did the rep check to see if you even have OnStar? It can be cancelled within the 1 year included service. Not to mention that some ATSs were purchased more than 12 months ago. Not to mention that some cars may be parked where OnStar can't get a signal. Any update has to be done when the car is parked.
Re: What CUE software do you have?
While you might have been able to get your car with the specific options you wanted, the only 2013 available for 200 miles in the color we wanted had other items, totaling over $3000 above the base model our dealer had. Since the 2014's were out, if we wanted the rebate on the 2013s, we had to take what was on the lots. Additionally, while you might have gotten an iPad with your purchase, not everyone did. We did not. So while your experiences might be one thing, not everyone else has the same experience. We paid over $3,000 to get CUE on our ATS.
Again, if your dealership was clueless (mine took 4 hrs to program 2 remotes with remote start that I had to tell them even existed) and if you were to call the CUE tech support and they told you every CUE system has the same software updated via OnStar, then you understand why I am asking what software others have. Isn't that the role of these forums, to ask for other's experiences?
Re: What CUE software do you have?
Picked up 2014 XTS premium with driver assist on 10/31/13 and these are the software version I have

Why do salons always insist on straightening hair?
When I got my hair cut last week the layers came out awesome. However, at the end they were like ok so you want to get it blown out right? :sad3: uhhh no. They were so surprised. My friend that I went with was like what?? Why not?! Well, when I told them that I happen to like my natural hair then the girl who cut it for me was nice enough to say that I have great hair and doesn't blame me. Another client was leaving and saw my hair and said "Oooo her hair is so nice! What are you using on her?" Then she bought the spray the woman put in my hair. Unfortunately for her, that spray didn't do a thing for me and that's just how my hair always is lol. The products actually dried my hair out if anything. It was when I washed the next day that I was like :love10: Woah! Anyway, the moral of the story is why do salons always assume you want your hair blown out? It gets annoying after a while. I know many women don't like their hair natural, but don't just assume that I want to get my curls straightened please. It doesn't help us embrace our hair when the world tells us we shouldn't. Just ask me first, and don't act like I have 3 heads when I say no.
This is so true. Sometimes I think that it's because they don't know how to style it curly. I got a cut a few weeks ago, and the stylist was doing great: she left in lots of conditioner, used a microfiber towel, and then clipped up my roots and put me under a helmet-dryer. Everything was going perfectly! But then, to finish drying, she had to diffuse the ends. And as soon as she started diffusing, she also started running her hands all throughout my hair! Well, needless to say this ruined everything! I really like my stylist, so I just told her nicely that I would rather let the rest air-dry and got the hell out of there. She's great at everything else but just doesn't seem to know some curly hair basics.
I actually ask for stylists to blow out my hair because I have yet to find one who can fix it curly the way I want. I once tried to show a stylist the pixie curl diffuser method and she gave up after only one section :/ I don't have a very strong curl pattern, so it's not a huge issue for me anyway. It's just faster to have it blown out. However, I do bring my own products and DO NOT allow them to put hairspray on it (my air becomes hella dry with hairspray). It is true that most stylists don't know how to style curly hair. I typically air dry and they don't want someone leaving the salon looking like it's unfinished.
I think it's a combination of not knowing how to style curly hair and wanting to be able to charge a fee for a blow out.
I'm currently a cosmetology student, and I always get so excited when fellow curlies come to my school. The majority of my curly customers insist on getting their hair blown out after a cut. I've practically begged some of them to let me style their hair naturally. Lol! I honestly believe the reason so many stylists default to straightening curly hair is simply because that's what they are used to doing fir the majority of their clients. As much as we all love our curls, whirls, kinks and coils here on this site (and others), we're still a minority in "real life". I know so many women who would rather flatiron and follow up with a curling iron than wear their natural curls. It's so mind-boggling!
I have very thick hair and no one every offers to blow it out. I feel if I asked them to do it (for a change) I'd be asking them to do extra work.
I did have a stylist who would diffuse my hair for just a few minutes and then stop, leaving it very damp. I didn't like that.
That's why they don't offer it. They know it would be hard work lol. But with me they're itching to do it every time

BROOKINGS - The challenger to the two District 4 House incumbents is no stranger to the political arena.
Brookings-area dairy farmer Jim Gilkerson staged an unsuccessful run for a House seat in the district two years ago when voters returned Steve Street and Val Rausch to office for their third terms.
Gilkerson, 54, and his wife, Kysa, have four children and run a dairy farm east of Brookings.
The Republican candidate said he is running for office again because he feels he can contribute some value for the state in Pierre.
"I want to help keep South Dakota fiscally responsible," he said. "There are some tough choices that have to be made and I think we need a conservative voice in Pierre."
Gilkerson also said the rural areas of the state need better representation and he'd like to do that.
"There are 26 small towns in District 4," he said. "The Legislature is becoming dominated by large cities and the small towns need a voice in the state Legislature.
"I also want to represent and promote agriculture. I've been a farmer all my life and I understand the challenges they face."
Like others in or running for legislative office, he knows the main concern is funding.
"The main challenge will be funding education," Gilkerson said. "But it's not just spending schools need - they need local control. They don't need the state telling them how to educate our children.
"I also don't favor forced consolidation of small schools. Let the local school boards make those decisions."
Realizing there will likely be a gap between how much money is available and how much is needed, Gilkerson said he does not want to have tax increases to fill that gap.
"I definitely don't want an income tax," he said. "And I don't want to raise the sales tax.
"We have to talk to all the (state) department heads and have them review their budgets, because they know a lot better than legislators. But we do have to be careful with spending our state reserves."
He said South Dakota has weathered the recent economic crunch better than most states.
"We have been conservative and able to balance our budget," Gilkerson said. "So I don't want to say it's a complete crisis."
In District 4, he said good education and economic development are two important issues for residents.
"For economic development we have tremendous opportunities for value-added businesses such as ethanol, but some of the keys are good roads and bridges," Gilkerson said. "It's hard to get money for small towns and rural areas for roads and bridges.
"The large cities like Sioux Falls and Rapid City have new overpasses and bridges and get a lot more of the money."
Gilkerson said he would not support increasing the state's gasoline tax.
"I'm a conservative Republican," he said. "I'm pro-life and endorsed by Right to Life and I'm pro-guns and endorsed by the NRA."

Compare Ferrari Garages and Specialists in Earlsfield with Who Can Fix My Car.
Good team, the only problem that i don't like , it's the 2 hits that i have on my car. And they didnt Told me that the dmg the car. I saw that when i just arive home.
I had to cancel the appointment. Nevertheless, I have been there a couple of times and they are always so nice and friendly they are just amazing. See you next time.
Roberto was very helpful and found that the advice I'd been given by Halfords was incorrect - and that all my car required was a very simple fix. Thoroughly recommended.
I highly recommend using this garage, Roberto was very friendly and really helpful. I handed my car over in the morning and it was ready for collection a few hours later. I was kept informed about the work that was needed and at what cost before it was carried out. After the work was done Roberto showed me what was done and made sure I was happy before I left.
Eagle Autos were fantastic from the beginning, from the phone to meeting in person. They were helpful by explaining my problems in detail and making it easy for me to understand. Much to my surprise they finished the job on my car very quickly, And I could feel all the improvements the moment I drove away from the garage. I won't be going to anyone else for future problems. No.1 garage!
absolute life savers. got my Mot and service done within a matter of hours
Very Very impressed! Great job!
Good hassle free service, will use them again
Advised me of work needing doing, and carried out the works to get it through mot, little disapointed at paying full price for MOT after website says half price with full service.
Excellent work from Gary at M&G. Dropped car of this morning at 8.30am, MOT was done and the car was delivered back to my home by 11am - superb.
It was fast and handy, the part arrived 2 working days later and i got it fixed within minutes at the time convenient for myself
Great work... fast reliable and kept me up to date when he was going to arrive. Highly recommend you trying Joe out and have already to freeness and family. 5star!!
No show on two occasions and didn't answer calls or messages
Excellent service, very friendly and knowledgeable people and I would definitely use again. This garage is a good find!
Ken picked up my car from my house on Sunday evening, completed the work the following Monday and brought it back that afternoon. Replaced valve body and changed oil for automatic gearbox for Mini Cooper S (R53). The car drives like new now, very very happy. I would recommend Wimbledon Automatics to anyone. Ken was very friendly and very honest. 5 star treatment all round!

Detailed Description:
We wish to see whether topiramate (an anti-epileptic agent) improves the outcome of babies with neonatal hypoxic encephalopathy who are receiving whole body cooling.
|Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy
|Drug: Topiramate Drug: Placebo
|Phase 1 Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Participant, Care Provider, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor

Drug Information available for: TopiramateU.S. FDA Resources
Further study details as provided by University of California, Davis:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Seizures [ Time Frame: At 4 weeks post-natal age or the time of hospital discharge (whichever is earlier) ]Clinical or electrical seizures occuring before hospital discharge or before 4w post-natal age (which ever is earlier) will be compared between the topiramate and control groups.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- HIE score [ Time Frame: At 4 weeks post-natal age or the time of hospital discharge (whichever is earlier) ]Differences in daily HIE score between the two groups will be compared from birth to day-5, and from birth to the time of discharge from hospital
- Normalization of aEEG [ Time Frame: At 4 weeks post-natal age or the time of hospital discharge (whichever is earlier) ]The time for normalization of aEEG voltages will be compared in the two groups.
- S100-beta levels [ Time Frame: Day of life 1, 3 and 7 ]Serum and urine S100beta levels (a marker of neuronal injury) will be compared in the two groups at three time points (on day of life 1, 3, and 7)
- MRI score [ Time Frame: On day 5-7 of life ]The MRI score on day 5 to 7 of life will be compared in the two groups.
- Developmental Outcome [ Time Frame: At 9, 18 and 27 months ]Bayley scales of infant development III will be compared in the two groups at 9, 18 and 27m of age

|Assigned Interventions
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Subjects will receive the standard of care intervention for HIE at our institution (whole body cooling for 72h followed by gradual rewarming)
Drug: Placebo
A placebo identical in appearance to the active agent (topiramate)
Active Comparator: Toprimate
In addition to whole body cooling, infants assigned to the topiramate group will receive 5mg/kg of topiramate daily enterally for a total of 5 doses. The first dose will be administered as soon as possible on admission.
Drug: Topiramate
Infants assigned to the topiramate group will receive 5mg/kg of topiramate daily enterally for a total of 5 doses. The first dose will be administered as soon as possible on admission.

Detailed Description:
Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a devastating and unexpected disease in newborns that affects 1.5-2.6 per 1000 live births. Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy has a mortality rate of up to 30% and survivors are at significant risk for adverse long-term outcomes, including seizures, cerebral palsy, and developmental delay. The investigators propose a randomized controlled study comparing therapeutic hypothermia alone, or therapeutic hypothermia combined with topiramate. The investigators hypothesize that adjuvant therapy with topiramate will reduce short term severity of HIE including seizures (the primary outcome), a composite HIE severity score, and reduce the time of normalization of the amplitude integrated aEEG. The investigators further hypothesize, that it will improve longer term outcomes such as developmental outcome. The primary hypothesis is that seizures before hospital discharge (or before 4w post-natal age (which ever is earlier) will be significantly reduced in the topiramate group compared to the control group
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|up to 6 Hours (Child)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
In order to be eligible for cooling the baby must meet all three of the following sets of criteria
- Be near term (typically ≥34wks gestation) and be aged < 6h old
- Have signs of early perinatal depression (EITHER 10 minute Apgar score < 5, OR pH < 7.00 within 60mins of age, OR Base Excess < -12 within 60mins of age, OR need respiratory support at 10min of age due to respiratory depression)
- Have signs of moderate or severe encephalopathy based on either clinical examination or on amplitude integrated aEEG assessment
Exclusion Criteria:
- Known congenital myopathy
- Known congenital neuropathy
