It would be a "historic mistake" if Western powers ease pressure on Iran over its nuclear program at this stage [2], Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday."It would be a historic mistake to ease the pressure on Iran a moment before the sanctions achieve their objective," Agence France-Presse quoted him as saying at the opening of the Israeli parliament's winter session.
Meanwhile, Yuval Steinitz, the Israeli minister responsible for monitoring Iran's nuclear program, said stiff Western pressure can deter Iran from pursuing atomic weapons [3].Steinitz said if the Iranians were presented with a real choice between the well-being of their economy and the continued enrichment of uranium, they may abandon their nuclear ambitions.
Negotiations on Iran's nuclear powers will begin Tuesday in Geneva [4]. It will be the first since the June election of President Hassan Rouhani, a relative moderate [5] who wants to thaw Iran's icy relations with the West to secure the removal of punitive sanctions that have marred its oil-based economy [6].On Monday, Iran's Foreign Minister and chief negotiator Mohammad Javad Zarif expressed hope that Tehran and world powers can agree at talks this week on a roadmap [7] towards defusing the stand-off over the Islamic republic's nuclear activity.
But Zarif warned the process would be complex."Tomorrow is the start of a difficult and relatively time-consuming way forward. I am hopeful that by Wednesday we can reach agreement on a road map to find a path towards resolution," Reuters quoted Zarif as saying in a message posted on his Facebook account late on Sunday."But even with the goodwill of the other side, to reach agreement on details and start implementation will likely require another meeting at ministerial level."

We know that trading in meat is wrong action and there is debate about whether trading in eggs or dairy is also wrong action. I think we would all agree that mistreatment of animals is wrong action.
What if all animals used for dairy or eggs were treated well -- would it still wrong to take their eggs or milk? A point was made a while back that this could be considered taking what is not freely given, since they can't give permission. What about oxen or other animals used for labor instead of food? Is "enslaving" animals wrong no matter how well they are treated?
The purpose of this topic is to carry this line of thought even further, to consider the very act of domesticating animals at all, rather than leaving all creatures in their natural wild state. Let's even forget about those we use for food or labor and just look at pets. For example, look at what we have done to dogs, creating breeds that endure physical suffering because of the modifications we have made to their bodies. Many breeds have serious breathing and digestive problems because of their pug snouts, back and hip problems from long bodies with short legs, genetic diseases and disabilities, and so on.
On the other hand, many animals derive benefits because of our meddling. For example, service dogs often seem to be very happy and fulfilled from their work, and pets in general may have very safe, comfortable and long lives with their humans. I often think that domestic pets who have a good home life may be enjoying fruits of previous positive kamma as well as having the opportunity to make much merit by the great good they so often do for human beings.
It seems that humans have created potential for both immense suffering and immense opportunities for animals by the process of domestication, increasing the range of rebirth experiences possible in the animal realm.

He served on the faculty of Parsons The New School for Design from 1982 to 2007 and was chair of fashion design at the school from August 2000 to March 2007, after which he joined Liz Claiborne as its chief creative officer. He is well known as on-air mentor to designers on the reality television program Project Runway. Gunn's popularity on Project Runway led to 2 spin-off shows, Bravo's Tim Gunn's Guide to Style and Lifetime's Under the Gunn, as well as his book A Guide to Quality, Taste and Style. He also provides the voice of Baileywick, the castle steward in the Disney Junior television show Sofia the First and narrated in sitcom Mixology.
Gunn was born and raised in Washington, D.C. He is the son of Nancy (née Comfort) and George William Gunn, an FBI agent during the administration of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover.[1] [2] Gunn was a champion swimmer throughout high school,[1] and later attended the Corcoran College of Art and Design, receiving a BFA in sculpture.[3]
Gunn, who is gay,[4] was raised in an intensely homophobic household and viewed homosexuals as predators.[3] According to a video Gunn created for the It Gets Better project, he attempted to commit suicide at the age of 17 by swallowing over 100 pills.[5] He denied his sexual orientation until his early 20s, and did not share it with his family until he came out to his sister when he was 29.[3]
Gunn started working at Parsons in 1982 and served as associate dean from 1989–2000, then became Fashion Design Department chair in August 2000. He was credited with "retooling and invigorating the curriculum for the 21st century."
Gunn began appearing on Project Runway during its first season in 2004, and is known for his catchphrase "Make it work." Gunn received a Primetime Emmy Award in 2013 for Outstanding Host For A Reality Or Reality-Competition Program.[6] Tim Gunn's Guide to Style, a reality show in which Gunn gives advice to the fashion-challenged, debuted in September 2007 on the Bravo television network.
Gunn also played a version of himself as a reporter for the fictional Fashion TV in two episodes of ABC's Ugly Betty in February 2007 and later guest starred on Drop Dead Diva in August 2009 as himself.
Gunn left Parsons in 2007 and joined Liz Claiborne, Inc. as the company's chief creative officer in March of that year.

While on tour in Palm Springs, California, the nearby city of Palm Desert honored him with an official resolution declaring April 27, 2007 (the day of his visit) "Timothy M. Gunn Day". He was also presented with a certificate by the city of Palm Springs and a plaque by the nearby city of Rancho Mirage in recognition of his career achievements.
In May 2009, Gunn served as commencement speaker at the Corcoran College of Art and Design, and received an honorary doctorate from the institution.[7]
He made sporadic appearances on The Late Late Show with Craig Fergusons "Dear Aquaman" segments, helping or standing in for Aquaman (Ferguson), answering letters and dispensing advice.[8]
He guest starred as Barney's personal tailor on several episodes of How I Met Your Mother.[9]
Gunn guest starred as himself on the 6th episode of CW's fourth season of Gossip Girl, "Easy J".[10]
In August 2007, "Tim Gunn's Podcast (a reality chamber opera)" by Jeffrey Lependorf premiered at the Cornelia Street Cafe in Manhattan.[11] It received its first run one year later at New York International Fringe Festival.
Gunn appeared in a backup story in the first issue of Models Inc., a fashion-themed comic book miniseries published by Marvel Comics that debuted in September 2009 to coincide with New York City's style showcase. Gunn appeared on a variant cover of the issue illustrated by Phil Jimenez. In the series, which is written by Project Runway fan Mark Sumerak and illustrated by Jimenez, Gunn dons the Iron Man armor to foil an attack against the New York Fashion Museum.
Gunn appeared in the opening skit on the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards to style Jimmy Fallon to look like Bruce Springsteen, from his Born in the USA album.
In 2014, he participated in Do I Sound Gay?, a documentary film by David Thorpe about stereotypes of gay men's speech patterns.[12]
Gunn lives in Manhattan.[13] In a 2006 interview with Instinct, Gunn stated that he had not been in a relationship since the early 1980s, following the abrupt end of a six-year relationship, and that he still loves his former partner, though they are not in contact.
Gunn spoke about his celibacy in 2012. He later stated that he is unashamed of this fact saying, "Do I feel like less of a person for it? No… I'm a perfectly happy and fulfilled individual."
Gunn is an outspoken critic of clothing designs using animal fur. In 2008, he narrated a video[14] about rabbit fur farming in China for animal rights group PETA. He termed the treatment of animals used for fur as "egregiously irresponsible".[15]
Gunn endorsed Christine Quinn's candidacy for Mayor of New York City in the 2013 mayoral election.[16]

Gerard Butler: Seeking Treatment at Betty Ford Center
Posted Friday February 24, 2012 9:52 AM GMT
Celebrities and rehab go hand-in-hand, and Gerard Butler has reportedly been receiving treatment at the Betty Ford Center for substance abuse issues.
According to TMZ, the "P.S. I Love You" hunk began using prescription pain medication back in 2006 while filming "300," and it's been an ongoing battle ever since.
In December, Butler suffered a serious injury while working on "Of Men and Mavericks," causing him to realize he needed help with his struggle.
Gerard decided that he was 'relying too much on prescription drugs' and wanted to get treatment before his habit became a debilitating addiction. He's been in Betty Ford Center for three weeks and will be released today.

Community Roll Call
Members of the Wauwatosa Police Department's Community Support Division, with backup provided by the folks at WauwatosaNow.com, are now blogging. We will be providing you with an ongoing series of crime prevention tips, any current crime trends as well as pertinent news and notes as it relates to your Police Department.
Email Scam
Just today I received an email from a very good friend of mine who lives on the east coast; anytime I get an email from him I drop what I am doing and take a look. Well much to my surprise it was an email with the subject of "Emergency" telling me how he was in
The pirating of email accounts is a growing tactic used by scammers and because people you know are having their actual email accounts pirated you may well believe that the "Emergency" related to you via email is for real. So my advice is even if there is a chance the given situation could be real, I would suggest that you follow up with a phone call or any other communication method, other than email, to determine the legitimacy of the circumstances before you offer to render assistance. If it is not true, you will be alerting them to the fact that their email account is being used in an attempt to scam others, and if it is true, you will have verified it as a real problem before deciding if you are able to help or not.
For many, email addresses have become as important, or maybe even more important than a physical address. Having to change it because your account was pirated can create a lot of headaches and expense when considering all your printed materials and the online functions you may use it for. In regards to preventing your account from being pirated I highly recommend changing your password on a regular basis, a minimum of once every three months is what most online security professionals recommend. I myself try to follow what I call the "1st of the month rule" where, on the 1st of every month I change my online passwords.

Late Results from the Blue
By Kurt Wolfheimer at ringside
Friday night at the legendary Blue Horizon in Philadelphia PA, Vernocha L. Michael of Blue Horizon Promotions Inc. presented a nine bout card which paid tribute to those who gave their lives on nine eleven and to those Firemen, Policemen and other Public Safety Officers who put their live on the line everyday to make our lives safe and secure. In the six round main event of the evening welterweight prospect Steve Upsher Chambers raised his record to (20-1-1, 6 KOs) by dropping Aaron Drake (13-7, 9 KOs) three times en-route to an impressive second round TKO. The eight bout undercard had a little of everything, featuring prospects, a former hockey tough-man and a corrections officer to make the card interesting on the salute to Public Safety night.
Chambers, having fought all but one of his twenty-one fights at the Historic Legendary Blue Horizon, looked confident in the opening round in the very same arena, even surviving an early rush from Drake in which he covered and countered well from the ropes.
Drake tried to confuse Chambers by switching to southpaw. Chambers calmly made his adjustments and sent a surprised Drake to his knees with a straight left-right hand combination. Drake rose to his feet and went on the retreat. Chambers knew he was in trouble but he could only land one more heavy right hand on the face of Drake before the bell sounded to end round two.
Chambers, at the behest of his corner, attacked the body of Drake early in round two. Drake tried to return fire, but looked like a beaten man from the constant array of punches. A short right uppercut in a four punch combination sent Drake to the canvas a second time. Once again, Drake rose to his feet and backed to the ropes, but Chambers was on him like a tiger attacking his prey with heavy shots. Drake tried to smother the attack, but Chambers sent him to the canvas for the final time with a short right hand. Referee Blair Talmadge immediately waved the fight off at 1:27 of round two giving it to Chambers.
Chambers talked about the fight afterward: "My game plan was to go out there and establish my jab and work off of that, but he rushed me," said Chambers "I actually love that. A lot of fighters think you can come and rush me because I am thinner but I actually am a lot stronger now (and it surprises my opponents). I hope to get one or two more fights and then fight on the card when Eddie Chambers fights Klitschko."
The co-feature of the evening featured an intriguing lightweight bout between Lancaster PA's Isaac Suarez and Mondre Pope Winchester, VA. Suarez entered the ring with an undefeated record of (7-0, 3 KOs). It was just his second bout since a two year layoff and still looked to shake off that ring rust. His opponent, Mondre Pope, entered the ring with (1-0-1) and was coming off a huge upset victory over formerly undefeated Chris Green. Pope, a gritty southpaw, knew this was an opportunity to show off his skills and convince people he was not just an opponent but one to reckon with in the near future.
Suarez looked tentative in the early going and Pope took advantage of that with several right hooks and right jabs, keeping him off balance. A blistering short counter right hook from Pope in round two, landed right on the chin of Suarez and sent him to the canvas. Suarez rose to his feet and actually stunned Pope with a five punch combination but let off the gas and allowed him to regain his senses.
Another Pope right hand sent wobbling to the ropes before touching his hand to the canvas before kneeling for the second knockdown. Pope tried to jump on him, but Suarez used a couple go counters to get Pope again on the retreat. Pope seemed stunned but Suarez seemed tentative and allowed him to again get right back on the attack.
At the behest of his corner in round four, Suarez went out more aggressively and began to find his mark with shot left jabs and right hands, but could never get off more than one or two punches at a time, which allowed Pope to again dominate the final two rounds of the fight.
All three officials saw the bout in favor of Mondre Pope by scores of 58-55 x 2 and 58-54, giving him the well earned unanimous decision victory.
The twenty-two year old Isaac Suarez looked like an aged fighter who could see the openings, but just couldn't release his hands and land the big shots that made him such an exciting fighter early in his career. This hopefully was just an anomaly and he will get right back on track in his next bout.
The twenty-year-old Mondre Pope on the other hand, continues to show that he could be a very good prospect who is willing to fight anybody anywhere.
In the walkout bout of the evening, undefeated welterweight Joselito Collado (9-0, 3 KOs) of Queens NY needed just two minutes and one second to spoil the return of Phoenixville PA's Jules "The Ghost" Blackwell (8-3-2, 3 KOs), scoring a devastating first round TKO of their scheduled six rounder.
Jules Blackwell coming off a shocking third round one punch knockout loss to Darrell Martin, looked good in the opening seconds of the round, as he popped a few right jabs in the face of Collado. The shorter Collado stepped under the jab and landed a left hook which stunned Jules and backed him to the ropes. The fast hands of Joselito Collado immediately put him on his back with an explosive three punch combination. Blackwell rose to his feet, but fell back into the corner and referee Blair Talmadge immediately grabbed him and waved the fight off.
Blackwell expressed a fighter's mentality afterward and wanted to look for a rematch, but with three hard knockouts in his career, it could be time for Jules to move into a different avenue in the sport. The twenty-eight-year-old Blackwell has been a staple at the Phoenixville PAL since he was nineteen years old and knows what it takes to find, train and get fighters ready for fights. Maybe coaching could be a second career for one of the nice guys in boxing.
Philly junior middleweight Phillip "The Mongoose" McCants (8-1-1, 3 KOs) overcame almost three years of ring rust to capture a one sided four round unanimous decision victory over late replacement Tyson Schwiegger (3-8-3, 3 KOs) of Kansas City, Missouri.
McCants didn't look like a fighter with three years of ring inactivity as he threw combination after combination at the outgunned Tyson Schwiegger.
The fight went inside in round three, but even there McCants was the busier fighter as he bounced light uppercuts and right hands off the face and ribcage of his tired opponent, who began to spend more time with his back on the ropes.
McCant easily continued to slap at Schwiegger with light combinations without much in return throughout the final round.
All three judges gave every round to Phillip McCants 40-36 x 3.
"It was great to get back in there, said McCants afterward. " I thank everybody for coming out to see me.
McCants will probably need a couple more fights before he regains the sting in his punches that gave him the nickname of the Mongoose.
Female welterweight sensation and Corrections Officer, Jackie Davis (3-0, 1 KO) captured a less then popular four round majority decision victory over Albuquerque, New Mexico's Victoria Cisneros (3-7-2).
Davis was the stronger fighter and out muscled Cisneros early, opening a cut above her opponent's brow. Cisneros was tough though and out-punched Davis in the exchanges to capture the second round.
Davis buried her head on Cisneros chest, throwing punches without looking up, which led to her taking many needless shots as both fighters slugged it out in the final two rounds. Cisneros seemed to take the final round with her effective counters and at least pulled out a draw, but the judges saw it differently. One judge saw the bout 38-38 even, but was overruled by the other two judges who saw it 39-37 in favor of Jackie Davis. Fightnews scored the bout 38-38 even.
Former professional hockey enforcer, Nathan "Rock" Perrot of Toronto, Canada made his venture into the squared circle a successful one with a fourth round technical knockout of Philadelphia PA heavyweight slugger Makidi "Truth in Living" Ku Tima.
Perrott secured over two hundred and fifty penalty minutes while playing for the Nashville Predators, Toronto Maple Leafs and the Dallas Stars, and became known as a player not to mess with on the ice. Knick-named "The Rock," Nathan Perrott looked to get back to the sport he participated in as an amateur during his childhood. Makidi Ku Tima appeared to be a difficult opponent for his professional debut. The heavy handed Ku Tima proved his toughness in May at this very same arena, by getting off the canvas to stop James Pratt in the third round of his professional debut.
Once the bell sounded, Perrott was all business, but Makidi KU Tima showed ring savvy by diving in and throwing the occasional whistling right hook and then tying up. Perrott got a little flustered and tossed Ku Tima to the canvas in an effort to get out of a clinch. Both fighters banged heads in the opening round, which opened a small cut on the forehead of Perrott. He kept his cool though and continued to work with short heavy shots whenever his hands were loose.
Ku Tima tired as the rounds went on from Perrott's big right hands and clinched on a regular basis, finally forcing referee Gary Rosado to take a point in round four for excessive holding. Perrott seized the opportunity and attacked as the exhausted Ku Tima and clinched again, hoping to survive the final round. This time, Nathan was able to get his right hand free and landed a right uppercut, followed by several clubbing overhand rights which sent Ku Tima crumbling to the canvas. Referee Gary Rosato immediately waved it off without a count at the 2:52 mark of the fourth and final round.
"Fighting on ice is difficult, but this was just as hard," said Parrot afterward. "He held a lot and you don't want to waste your energy by punching through those holds, but at the same time you want to get your punches off, so I just had to keep backing up and catching him with the uppercuts and hooks. Finally I caught him with a right uppercut and then three right hands in a row which finished him," said Perrott.
Philly welterweight Joe Alonso made a successful professional debut with a one sided battering of Cleveland Ohio's William "The School Teacher" Brown.
Alonso looked raw and rugged as he left himself open for counters while he blasting away with his wide but non-stop attack of hooks to the head and body off the retreating "School Teacher".
Brown tried to hold off the aggressive Alonzo, by boxing from the outside, but withered from the constant onslaught. Brown found a home against the ropes in the final two rounds as Alonso continually battered his ribs and face with a series of combinations. The school teacher covered and survived the day though, sending the bout to the scorecards. All three judges at ringside saw the fight easily in favor of Alonso by scores of 40-36 x 2 and 40-35 respectively.
Joe Alonso ups his record to 1-0, while the William Brown falls to 4-4, 2KO's. Alonso's all out pressure style had the fans on the feet in appreciation as the bout closed and is sure to become a fan favorite at the Legendary Blue Horizon.
The opening bout of the evening provided and interesting battle between a pair of debuting southpaw junior welterweights as Deroy Beaton of Toms River, New Jersey and Philadelphia Pennsylvania's Jason Sia went at it for the full four rounds.
Right from the opening bell, Deroy Beaton seamed to control the ring as he circled to his right, keeping the shorter Jason Sia off balance with right hooks and left hand counters. Sia continued to press forward though and stunned Beaton in the second round with a four punch combination. Beaton clinched, which halted the attack and then went toe-to-toe with him, landing short left hands in the exchange as the round came to a close.
Beaton knew what his best strategy was and stayed on the outside for the most part countering with precise shots that kept the aggressive Sia off balance and at bay during the final two rounds.
All three judges saw the bout in favor of Deroy Beaton by scores of 39-37 and 40-36 x 2.

22. 7. 2004 - Czech Airlines Transported Almost 2 Million Passengers in the First Six Months of 2004
Prague, 22 July 2004
In the first six months of 2004 Czech Airlines (CSA) transported a record number of 1.95 million passengers. The number is 27% larger when compared with the same period of the previous year.
"Within the first six months of this year, CSA showed dynamic growth in the number of passengers flown which is unique in the history of the airline. Despite the fact that more than 50 airlines fly to and from Prague airport, CSA continues to maintain its high competitiveness," says Jaroslav Tvrdík, President and Chairman of the Board of Directors, CSA.
In addition to a 27% year-on-year increase in the number of transported passengers, CSA showed growth in other transport indicators for the January-June period. The airline performed 14 801 flights, which represents a year-on-year increase of more than 17%. CSA also showed further increase in the seat load factor, at 70% over the January-June period.
CSA also had two-digit growth in transported cargo and mail – 11 200 tons for the January-June 2004 period, representing growth of 17%.
CSA transported the largest volume of passengers on its regular European flights, the share being 84.2%. Long-distance flights to and from North America had a share of 5.5 %. 4.6% of passengers were transported to the Middle East and Asia. Charter and domestic services represent 5.7% of the volume.
Newly operated European and Asian destinations – Samara and Yekaterinburg in Russia, Baku in Azerbaijan, Krakow in Poland, Dortmund in Germany, Marseilles in France and Luxemburg, the capital of Luxemburg also showed growth.
In April, CSA offered discounted tickets to 20 European destinations. Return tickets from as low as 2 990 CZK were available to destinations such as Amsterdam, Madrid, London, Paris, Milan, and Stockholm. This attractive offer, accompanied by the "Comfort for a Kiss" advertising campaign, was also addressed to new clients who are used to other means of transport.
"The advertising campaign 'Comfort for a Kiss' lived up to our expectations. Paris, Amsterdam and Madrid were the most popular destinations and great interest in these destinations still remains," said Zuzana Řezníčková, Vice-president for Marketing and Sales at CSA .
10 top destinations according to the number of transported passengers:
- Paris
- London
- Amsterdam
- Frankfurt
- Madrid
- Moscow
- Manchester
- Sofia
- Brussels
- Rome
Czech Airlines (CSA) – the largest national carrier among the new EU member countries according to number of transported passengers. Since 2001, it has been a member of SkyTeam, one of the principal leading global airline alliances.
CSA currently offers connections to 106 destinations in 46 countries worldwide. The fleet contains 43 aircraft – ATR 42's/72's, Boeing 737's and Airbus A310's.
This year, CSA plans to carry a record number of passengers, the estimated total for 2004 is 4.4 million.
In May, the airline won the OAG (Official Airline Guide, London) Award as "Best Airline Based in Central/Eastern Europe". The award marked the expansion of Czech Airlines into Europe when the Czech Republic joined the European Union.

How is the timing of the Muslim festival of Ramadan determined?
Page Tools
...Is it as complicated as Easter is in the Christian calendar?
Not in the slightest. The holy month of Ramadan follows the Muslim lunar calendar, starting and ending with the sighting of the new moon. It moves backwards about 10 days every year. It's one of two holy months, the other being Zul-Hijjah, when pilgrims go to Mecca for Hajj. In Australia, we follow our local mosque as to which day we start Ramadan (there is usually a discrepancy of a day between different mosques). In Muslim countries, the drums are broken out at the sighting of the moon at the beginning and the end of Ramadan. The real festival is the end of Ramadan - Eid al-Fitri - beginning with special prayers, then spending the day gravitating between friends' houses, eating enough to make up for the month of fasting!
Radhiah Chowdhury, Glen Alpine
Easter is on the first Sunday after the first full moon in Spring. What is complicated about that?
Marnix Godschalk, Beecroft
Do people in, say, Tokyo or Manhattan see stars in the night sky or is there too much light pollution?
Having lived in both places, about the best you can do is see a planet or two.
Rich Blackmon, Mississippi, United States
When the sky is clear, you can see stars in parts of Tokyo, but they seem further away.
Atsuko Kunugi, Tokyo
How did Mussolini make the trains run on time?
One of the most successful urban myths of the 20th century has been the one about Mussolini getting the trains to run on time in Italy. Thanks to commentators and letter writers to newspapers, this fiction will continue to be accepted as truth during this century as well.
Con Vaitsas, Ashbury
He sacked his incompetent manager, Signor Michael Costa, and banished him to the southern hemisphere.
Christine Browning, Oatley
Why does sunburnt skin remain hot even days after sun exposure?
The reddening or erythema of your skin is a natural inflammation response to UV radiation, mostly caused by UVB, and is due to increased bloodflow to the area. Because blood is at body temperature, a localised increase in bloodflow will cause a localised temperature increase.
Jason Calder, Liverpool, England
More Big Questions - exclusively for online readers
How is the timing of the Muslim festival of Ramadan determined? Is it as complicated as Easter is in the Christian calendar?
Simply put, Islamic festivals are observed according to the Islamic calendar which is based on the lunar month. Festival dates are determined by the actual sighting of the new moon. This is considerably simpler than the complex formula to determine Easter, but harder on a foggy night.
Nuruddin (Chris) Masuak, Colo Vale
The date of Easter is calculated as the first Sunday after the paschal full moon that occurs on or after the vernal equinox. If the full moon happens to occur on a Sunday then Easter is the following Sunday. Western Catholic and Protestant churches use the Gregorian calendar for the calculation, whereas the Eastern Orthodox churches use the Julian calendar.
The month of Ramadan is the ninth month of the Muslim calendar. The Muslim calendar is a lunar calendar, so the date of the commencement of the month of Ramadan occurs sooner (by about ten days) each year. Ramadan is a month of fasting for people of the Islam faith - technically the start of the fasting period occurs at the first sighting of the new moon in the month of Ramadan.
Paul Dodd, Docklands, Victoria
As the Islamic calendar is a lunar one, the timing of Ramadan is at least as complex as that of Easter. I once had to interview an applicant for an Arabic translator's position, and he presented as a sample of his work the translation of a monograph on the precise timing of Ramadan. In practice, in rural areas, the timing goes by the moon, and the imam tells the muezzin when to announce it to the people. This is not so different from the traditional Jewish Sabbath timing - when three stars were visible in the Saturday evening sky, the Sabbath was over.
Kate Johnson, Canley Vale
The Muslim calendar follows a lunar cycle of 12 months. Every new moon signifies the beginning of a new month. Each month is from 29 to 30 days long. Each year the Islamic year moves backward by about a week and a half through the months of the English calendar. Ramada is the ninth month and begins at sunset after the first sighting of the new moon at the end of the month Sha'ban. Since some Muslims insist on a physical sighting by a trustworthy witness and others rely on astronomical observations you will, therefore, have different days for the start of Ramadan. This has happened every year in the past 22 years since I started fasting. So it is more complicated than Easter is in the Christian calendar since the debate is repeated every year.
Rollar Sowaid, Wentworthville
Do people in, say, Tokyo or Manhattan see stars in the night sky or is there too much light pollution?
I've been living in Tokyo for about eight months now. I hadn't seen a single star until last Sunday morning (about 2am), when I spied about five shyly congregating above Shibuya. Therefore, I can only deduce that the light pollution is as bad as you presumed it to be.
Camille Broomhead, Tokyo
The persons are starry-eyed, however they can not see the stars, given that the pollution is too heavy.
Steve Barrett, Glenbrook
What blinds homo metropolitanus to the glories of the heavens are, say, the Stars on Broadway and the Stars of Anime.
Matt Walsh, Hughes, ACT
What is the origin of the expression to "up the ante"?
The word Ante means "before" in Latin. In modern parlance, the Ante is the automatic bet that comes "before" a hand of poker begins. Therefore, to up the ante is to increase your bet or, metaphorically speaking, to increase the stake in some endeavor.
Andrew Nelson, Earlwood
The origin of the saying 'up the ante' refers to playing poker for money. The ante is the amount of money that is contributed to the 'pot' before the cards are dealt. Up the ante is when the players increase the ante usually after playing for a little while.
Paul Kelly, Brisbane
How did Mussolini make the trains run on time?
Mussolini didn't make the trains run on time. He made local trains stop on sidings to allow inter-city expresses to pass by on schedule, making commuter services even less reliable than previously.
Norm Neill, Leichhardt
He watched the rails.
Eddie Lee, Bexley
The short answer is: he didn't. The Italian train system was in a sorry state after World War I. Changes were made, however, and the rail system had improved by 1920. When Mussolini gained power in 1922, he took personal credit for that and used it as one more reason to support his party. Maybe a future government of NSW, in say 2010, could lay claim to making the trains run on time here?
Dean Pistilli, Carlton
This is one of history's great furphies. The Italian train system was running perfectly efficiently - or at least as near to perfect as any train system can - before Mussolini took control of Italy. The railway system's continued efficiency had nothing whatsoever to do with the blandishments of Fascism. The trains just kept chugging along. Any attempt to combine the two is offensive and a slap in the face to the plethora of non-fascist workers who simply got on with the job at hand.
Dave Gibson, Bondi Beach
He didn't. People repeat this statement, and many like it, unthinkingly, without ever seeking evidence. On page 262 of A Dictionary of Common Fallacies (The Oleander Press) Philip Ward writes: "... questioning of people who actually lived in Italy ... bears witness to the fact that Italian railways were no more careful of timetables than they are today."
Peter O'Brien, Thirroul
Mussolini made the trains run on time by lubricating the anti-fascist railway workers with castor oil.
Bill Holmes, Ruse
Why does the US persist with imperial units of measurement?
First, I suspect that Americans would deny that they are imperial units. The US authorities have probably had a look at countries like Australia who have adopted the SI system and decided that it isn't worth the effort. After nearly 30 years of metrication most Australians give their height and weight in imperial units (even those born since metrication) and new-born babies are still recorded in Herald classifieds as being of weights such as 7lb 5oz. You don't have to look too hard in the newspaper to find units like inches, acres, horsepower, calories ... but don't get me started.
Gary Sullivan, Sans Souci
For the same reason (or rather lack of it) that it re-elected George W. Bush.
Rich Blackmon, Mississippi, USA
As an American I can say it is because the majority of Americans do not acknowledge the concept of a "global standard". Americans are under the impression that the "rest of the world" is an odd, quaint, confusing and sometimes hostile place that is really trying darn hard to catch up with America and do things the right way, but just sometimes these foreigners need a little help to understand how to do stuff properly. I mean, really; soccer, centimetres, public health, what are these crazy foreigners talking about.
Andrew Nelson, Earlwood
I am an 11-year-old boy and I have had a few acquaintances who are American children. Some of them are quite bright, but along with American adults they don't care what the rest of the world thinks - especially when the rest of the world is right. The rest of the world considers this ignorance. Is a metre really too far for an American?
Benjamin Mellefont, Bondi Beach
The answer is in the question itself ... and, anyway, if Belle France, originator of the metric system, cannot support the "coalition of the willing" why should "them good ole boys" measure their SUVs' fuel consumption in (mega)litres per 100 kilometres?
Matt Walsh, Hughes, ACT
Why does sunburnt skin remain hot even days after sun exposure?
Sunburn is a form of radiation burn from UV radiation from the sun - the medical term is "erythroderma". Because it is a form of burn, your skin will be painful, tender to touch, and red and hot from inflammation for several days. Often after a week or so, the damaged superficial layer of skin peels. If you get a severe dose of UV exposure, your skin will blister. There was an old wive's tale that on cloudy days you would get "windburn". This had nothing to do with the wind, it was still sunburn because UV radiation can pass through light cloud.
John Frith, Paddington
Blood rushes to the skin to promote healing, and so the skin feels hotter to touch.
Emma Pollock, Newcastle
Because the skin has been damaged there is local accumulation of inflammatory mediators including histamine and kinins. These cause vasodilation (ie, widening of the diameter of the blood vessels) causing increased blood flow through the area. This releases more body heat in this area than through areas of skin that are not inflamed, thus causing the area to feel hot to the touch.
Malcolm Webb, North Ryde
The outer layer of skin cells have been given a lethal dose of UV radiation. The DNA of these cells is damaged, so they decide to commit suicide in a controlled process known as 'apoptosis'. During this process lots of energy is released by the cell as it self-destructs, and blood flow increases as a result of inflammation, causing the skin to feel hot. The dead cells then peel off the skin.
Victor Bourke, Bronte
How can people say they have a metallic taste in their mouth if they have never eaten metal?
Many people become accustomed to the taste of metal when they are children, as they have placed metal in their mouths; one does not need to eat something to taste it. Also, contrary to popular belief, some people do eat metal. In parts of the Middle East, it is popular to eat lollies and their goldfoil wrapping. The gold does them no harm as it is ultra thin.
Matthew Briggs, Kingswood Park
What happens if you swallow chewing gum?
You get Wrigleys in the abdomen.
Eddie Lee, Bexley
How do they get teflon to stick to the bottom of the pan?
I noticed an answer (Spectrum, November 6-7) to a question about making Teflon stick to the bottom of the pan suggesting turning the stove up high. Readers should note that once Teflon gets up to very high temperatures, say 300-400 degrees C, it begins to break down. This can result in toxic fumes and other poisonous byproducts. You should always keep Teflon down within the normal range of cooking temperatures.

Inspired by Hollywood, Bollywood flirts with technology
By Manasi Phadke and Shilpa Jamkhandikar
MUMBAI (Reuters Life!) - Don't look for an Indian "Avatar" anytime soon, but Bollywood, inspired by the success of blockbusters such as "Transformers," is starting to take special effects seriously.
Up until five years ago, producers were unwilling to embrace technology, preferring instead to spend millions on expensive outdoor shoots and sets.
That changed when India became a viable back-end destination for Hollywood films like "Tron" and "Avatar" amid a growing wave of outsourcing post-production special effects due to cost. The number of studios handling VFX -- visual effects that include mixes of live-action footage and computer-generated images -- mushroomed.
"Earlier, Bollywood looked at technology like VFX as a cost-saving mechanism, but now it is also about the experience of watching a film with that kind of technology," said Kamal Jain, chief financial officer at Eros International.
Eros will release "Ra One," an ambitious superhero film with star Shah Rukh Khan, later this year. The company is also making "Rana," a tri-lingual epic with another superstar, Rajnikanth.
Rajnikanth's last film, "Robot," had the flashiest Bollywood special effects to date, including a Matrix-like sequence, and such superstar backing of the trend means others are sure to follow.
"Zindagi Na Milegi Dobaara" or You Won't Get This Life Again, which releases next week, has used VFX to recreate a sky-diving scene and a race between a car and a horse.
Another film, "Urumi" or Curling Blade, which depicts the arrival of explorer Vasco Da Gama in Kerala, used special effects to re-create Portugal in the 14th century. Continued...

Elimination of ORM-D Classification
In an attempt to harmonize and align with international standards, the DOT has amended the 49CFR regulations regarding the ORM-D classification. Effective January 19, 2011, with the publication of the HM-215K final rule, the hazard class of ORM-D is being eliminated. Those materials may still be shipped classified as a limited quantity. In conjunction with ORM-D hazard class elimination in HM-215K, limited quantity
shipments will no longer require shipping papers when prepared under the new rule. This includes those materials previously classed as limited quantity that required shipping papers via ground transport.
There is a transition period for shippers to comply with the new classification, marking and labeling requirements. Until December 31, 2020 a limited quantity package containing a
consumer commodity
as defined in 171.8 may be reclassified as ORM-D, or until December 31, 2012 for ORM-D-Air material. UPS began accepting materials with the new markings effective April 1, 2011. See examples of the new ground and air limited quantity markings below that will be replacing the ORM-D and ORM-D-Air markings.
Air limited quantity marking
Ground limited quantity marking
The size of the marking must meet the regulation set forth in HN-215K. For clarification, see DOT letter of interpretation
It is the shipper's responsibility to know the regulations, and to properly classify, package, label, and mark their hazmat shipments.
To be in compliance with TDG, Standard (ground) Ltd Qty shipments to Canada prepared under HM-215K require the verbiage 'Limited quantity' or 'Ltd qty' to also be marked on the carton.

Weber State women's basketball took on the Big Sky Conference leader Thursday night and fell 86-62 to the Bears.
The Wildcats started the game off hot with an 8-4 lead in the first two minutes of game play. However, that was the last time the Wildcats would score until 5:48 remaining in the second quarter. WSU went on a 12 minute scoring drought and UNC went on a 21-0 run.
WSU did make a push towards the end of the second quarter scoring 11 points but the damage had been done and WSU trailed 39-22 at half time.
Weber State's efforts weren't enough to close the deficit and Northern Colorado claimed an 86-62 victory over the Wildcats.
The Wildcats were led by Emily Drake who had 16 points shooting 6-13 from the field. Kailie Quinn had 14 points, Deeshyra Thomas had 13 and Jaiamoni Welch-Coleman had 12 for Weber State.

Product Details
Battery Charger by Stanley Tools®. We still use lead-acid batteries to start our cars, trucks, boats and motorcycles. And occasionally, they need to be charged from a wall socket, whether it's because it's a new battery, a trolling motor battery, or you just left your lights on overnight. Stanley has a selection of battery chargers that will safely charge any automotive battery.
- Automatically selects charge rate to maximize battery life, charge speed and maintenance
- 3-Stage high-frequency automatic rapid charge
- Easy to read LCD screen with clear information
- Spark resistant reverse hook up protection
- Microprocessor controlled digital diagnostics
- Automatically compensates for lower voltage caused by extension cord
- Automatic temperature compensation
- Float mode monitoring
Charging a lead-acid battery involves more than just cramming lots of amps into it in a short period of time. It's possible to absolutely ruin a battery in only a few hours with too much current, in a few seconds by hooking it up backwards, or gradually over a few weeks by not charging it sufficiently. These intelligent battery chargers from Stanley won't overcharge, and deliver a metered amount of current to insure fast engine starting without boiling out the electrolyte. If your car battery is dead, and won't start your car, one of these chargers should be able to start it in only a few minutes. Just toggle on the Quick Start Timer and the charger will provide the maximum safe current to your battery for a quick pick-me-up. When he countdown timer hits zero, you can safely start your vehicle, at which time its own alternator will continue to charge the battery. If it won't start right away, the charger will revert to its normal charge rate to prevent damaging the battery from overcharging.
The Stanley Works was founded in 1843 in New Britain, Connecticut by Frederick T. Stanley to manufacture door hinges and bolts.. A few years later, in 1857, Frederick's cousin, Henry founded The Stanley Rule and Level Company. In 1910, S. Duncan Black and Alonzo G. Decker started their shop in Baltimore, Maryland, and were awarded a patent 6 years later for the world's first portable power tool. In 2010 Stanley and Black & Decker combined to form Stanley Black & Decker, to deliver the tools and solutions that industrial companies, professionals, and consumers count on to be successful when it really matters.

KJ and The AX broke down this reboot of Lara Croft. Kj Praised its campaign saying "The game molds Lara into the B.A. we know and love, and rights the wrongs left from past outings. Impressive visuals, super responsive controls and an overall polish that puts many titles to shame. This campaign is Game of The Year quality, overlapping its own multiplayer component." This why Tomb Raider is or pick for game of the month.
Steph Reviewed this movie around its theatrical release. She says Wreck it Ralph "Has an astounding amount of original creative material (three original video game worlds), and it has many, many retro game character appearances. And much like seeing a cameo of your favorite actor in a movie, seeing Sonic, Pac-Man, Bowser, and many others on the big screen is nothing short of amazing."
The Kickstarter was successful! This is a story telling card game that will now see mass distribution. The game makes pop culture references, and throws in other fun stuff as well. "In Story War controlling the narrative is the only way to win. There are no numbers or rules on the cards, only artwork and hilarious descriptions. It's up to the players to decide how to interpret their powers, which means that every game tells unique stories based on the collective creativity of everyone involved."

When you're ready to write your law school resume, the first thing you should do is set aside some time to sit down and gather all the information you might include. Before you start typing, brainstorm answers to the questions below.
What are all the schools I've attended and degrees or certificates earned?
List the name of the school, its location, dates of attendance, major or focus of study, GPA, GPA in your major (especially if it's higher than your general GPA). If you studied abroad, include that as well.
Did I receive any honors or awards while at those schools?
Awards and honors may be academic, athletic, community service-oriented, etc.
Did I participate in any substantial activities while at those schools?
If you were committed to a couple of activities, especially if you held a leadership role, be sure to list them and the responsibilities of the position.
What are all the jobs I've held?
Include employer's name, location, position held, dates of employment. If you were working while attending school and it was a significant time commitment, include the number of hours per week. At this point, you can also start composing short descriptions of your job duties. Also include any awards and distinctions received.
Do I have special skills or unique hobbies that require commitment?
Here you can include foreign languages, musical/artistic pursuits, athletics, advanced computer skills, extensive traveling, etc.
Do I have any achievements or activities that haven't yet been included?
Some things you've experienced may not fit squarely into any of the categories listed above, so take a few minutes and think about any other significant life experiences you've had that you may want to include on your resume. Even if they don't fit on your resume anywhere, though, they might make for a good personal statement topic, so keep that in mind as well.

The Fed's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) emerged from its two-day economic policy meeting to announce it would hold the target range for the federal funds rate between 0% and ¼% and would also continue reinvesting in Treasury securities. The FOMC announced conditions improved notably in most areas, including inflation and household spending, with employment rates being a glaring exception. Additionally, the FOMC limited its concerns to continued growth acceleration to one sentence that revolved around "significant downside risks [from] strains in global financial markets."
However, in a statement unrelated to the FOMC rates/Treasuries announcement, the Fed illustrated more of a mixed-bag with its updated economic projections. On one hand, the Fed anticipated accelerating growth in each of the next two calendar years. However, said projections all are at weaker levels then they predicted just in June:
- Projected changes in GDP 2011: +1.6 to 1.7 (previous projection 2.7 to 2.9)
- Projected changes in GDP 2012: +2.5 to 2.9 (previous 3.3 to 3.7)
- Projected changes in GDP 2013: +3 to 3.5 (previous 3.5 to 4.2).

Before I forget, there are now photos in the photo gallery.
Mercy Ships advise us to include a disclaimer in our diaries, so here it is:
I serve with Mercy Ships. Everything here, however, is my personal opinion and is not read or approved before it is posted.Opinions, conclusions and other information expressed here do not necessarily reflect the views of Mercy Ships.
Charcoal burning... the aroma of which will always remind me of our trip to Bong mines. The deeper we got into the countryside, the stronger the odour seemed. Now I knew the answer to why so many Liberians transport around bags full of leaves - palm leaves, I was told. People cut the leaves, pack tham tightly in sacking, than either carry 1 on their head or transport them in lorries with alot of the load hanging over the sides. There are usually a few men hanging over the sides too. The Liberians use old rubber trees, or other trees, and burn them to produce charcoal, slowing the burning by covering the fire with the leaves. They than have a product to sell. We saw new rubber plantations on our ride.
Bong mines was a huge operation (see previous diary), and has lain idle since the war. Apparently several countries, including China, are interested in buying it. The area we travelled through to it was wet, near most streams we crossed there were huge (5 foot diameter) concrete pipes, probably ready to divert the stream prior to road building. Around alot of the streams were gathered both adults and children washing themselves and their clothes. It felt almost intrusive to be there, though the Africans don't seem to mind. It reminded me of one of the wards, which was obviously short of beds. A mother of a one year - old baby, still nursing him, was having an operation. The baby stays with her on the ward, sleeping in her bed. The ward comprises mainly men but with 2 ladies; this Mum thought nothing of feeding the baby in front of the men, and they took no notice too. Can you imagine that in Britain!
The eye surgeons arrived this week - 2 of them, plus Lord Ian McColl, who is a general surgeon (retired), he does some eye operations. I watched him perform a pterygium operation (non-cancerous growth which spreads over the front of the eye. It was very impressive watching him perfect it by using a 'rollerball' type instrument, complete with 'sandpaper' to smooth off the area. Both his wife and the wife of one of the other surgeons have been in working clothes, escorting patients to and from Theatre. Dr Ian's wife was also a Surgeon. About 30 operations are carried out every day, apart from Fridays presently, when we do about 70 Yag capsulotomies. I keep telling everyone that at home we need a nursing staff of about 45 trained and un-trained nurses to carry out a similar workload!
There was another female patient with an eye ruined by a punch, this lady was trying to save a child from being whipped - she was successful, but unfortunately her eye has had to be removed.
In the clinics we are still seeing patients and continuing to give out the 5500 glasses that we've had donated. Word soon gets around about these glasses!
Am updating this on 19th October.
At Clinics we are now running out of the weaker strength reading glasses, these are the ones we generally use. Though we have alot of dark glasses left, people are becoming fussy about the type of glasses they take, not liking the larger ones! So we may soon see shorter queues when we arrive in the mornings; alot of people have nothing physically wrong with their eyes apart from the need to wear specs for reading as they age. There is alot of eye hygiene advice to tell patients, our voices are nearly hoarse by the end of the day! We are still seeing patients with eye conditions of all kinds though. As I said, the queues are lenghtening - one day last week we saw 167 patients. Also last week a new eye team member joined us, an Australian Orthoptist; he's a very welcome member to the team. This week the 16 year-old daughter of a new maxillo-facial surgeon from England is joining us on the eye team; I think she'll be a good person to transmit the eye-health education, to save our voices!
I don't know if I'll have time to visit the prison before I leave next week; I've written to the lady named Blessing who we have been trying to release for over a year. We've told her that money hasn't worked and she needs to put her trust in God for her release. Amazing things continue to happen there, such as an old lady on a lifetime-murder charge being released.
It is so easy to become imprisoned in Liberia, apart from the fact that anyone with money can ask a corrupt Police member to imprison you just for the fact of disliking you. We heard of one case where the father of a family of 4 children took out a Bank loan to fund the childrens' educations, (no education is free here), at the same time setting his wife up in business with a vegetable stall to pay the interest. She became ill and needed hospitalisation. This immediately burdened them with the extra expense of hospital fees, and they became unable to make payments on their loan. Someone needed to go to prison until they had caught up. As the wife was the one with the least earning potential she agreed to go to prison. This is how they address such problems here; in such cases it is just a fact of life that someone in the family must go to prison, and the family decide between them who it will be.
We are so fortunate, although we often don't realise it! Count your blessings!
I felt very priveleged yesterday to be on board as Mercy Ships celebrates its' 30 year anniversary. Practically everyone joined the children (there are 48 aboard, including a 2 week-old baby) in games on the dockside and on the ship. That took most of the afternoon; after that we had a barbecue on the dockside as the sun set, and afterwards there was a thanks-giving service for the 30 years.
Talking about thanksgiving - one day last week it was Canadian Thanksgiving, and I had my first taste of pumpkin pie - delicious!
There's a dark side to alot of things, and when I went to an Orphanage recently one of the children brought up a rumour about Mercy Ships that has been going around. The children had been acting out the story about David and Goliath, seeming to enjoy it immensly, when the lady who had taught them started to ask about their fears, in relation to David appearing to have none about facing the giant. They all came up with something - rats, snakes etc. One child then said he was afraid of having a kidney taken out. I hadn't heard this rumour, that Mercy Ships people remove peoples' kidneys to send to America for transplant on people there. The teacher obvoiusly had, because she was able to put them at their ease. Thank Goodness! Also there is a rumour that, if you're a patient on the ship, when you come out all your family will have gone. I'm glad that these rumours come out to be dealt with. Our fears always centre on things that are precious to us and the person/persons who started these rumours knew where to hit. I just pray that not even one person will be prevented from having treatment by these, or any other rumours.
Life in Liberia is still pretty grim; apparently human sacrifice still takes place here sometimes. I hope that is just a rumour.
Recently I was fortunate enough to be able to watch Gary Parker (here on Mercy Ships over 20 years!) performing an operation to remove a huge cyst from the front of a man's shoulder. It was very delicate as he had to avoid with his scalpel, as well as blood vessels any nerves to his arm. The cyst came out intact and Gary was able to prove that the hand worked perfectly by stimulating the nerve!
The 'baby' on the ward still being fed by his in-patient mother rules the roost on that ward! There are several children running around, they used to spill out into the corridor till the nurses pleaded with everyone to shut the doors. Today I was there; Mum was calling him for his feed, which he didn't want to obey. One of the male patients was laughing that you don't normally call a breast-fed baby to come for its' feed! The baby's name is Larry; he always has a most determined look on his face, and wants whatever the other children are playing with. He's only one! At the ward service on a Sunday morning (an albino man palyed the drums this morning) we ladies normally have a small child to care for while Mum dances!
A very fond memory I'll keep from my time here is when a few of us have been on the ward singing and playing games with the patients. Many of them come from a long way, spend a month or so here and often have no visitors. A real camaradrie builds up between them, and between them and us too. Anyone who can play a guitar is very welcome, and also anyone who can sing, whether in tune or not! Spontaneous songs often burst out when the patients sit in the evening in the stairwell. They don't sit there to smoke either! We see very few people smoking in Liberia. The patients love any small present, such as paper and pencil, and last week the children enjoyed making things out of coloured pipe cleaners.
We continue to be well-catered for with lovely food, and no washing up! Phone calls are cheap for us; they're subsidised by Pinplan; I've phoned people in the UK about 3 times each week and it's only cost me about £5 so far!
One Saturday recently the whole shipload of us were treated to film shows made by various teams of workers on the ship, including engineers, children and the housekeeping team who presented 'dustbusters' - a spoof on ghostbusters. It was judged and awards were presented in a similar fashion to TV and film awards would be. It was an extremely enjoyable evening; often after these types of evenings we have ice cream in Starbucks cafe and wind down amongst friends.
I think this may well be the last diary I write here, as it's one week today till I leave. Can't belive it's gone so fast; I've learned an awful lot from being in the field team, and in other ways too. So, God willing, I'll be seeing you soon!
Au revoir (people here are learning French in readiness for Benin next outreach, February '09)

305 GMC preject.
There was a time when "hotrodders", had to virtually make a lot of their own parts; I think it was called "the old days". Some of them used odd engines as a starting point. The question about the old GMC has come up many times on this site. The way I see it, you're doing this for a grade in school, and also to be different. More "power" to you, and not in the just the vernacular either. You're not going to build any kind of screamer, and you already know that. First off, you're working on the intake and exhaust systems, freeing up things there can only help, everyone does that. An engine is an air pump, and the more air you can move, the better. Later, you can delve into the engine and heads, on the camshaft ( someone can regrind it ), do some portwork and angle milling ( be careful here with your use of steel to make your intake,as milling the heads also means milling the intake ). I'll bet this truck's exhaust will have a truley unique sound. Now, if it were me, I would conscider the turbocharging route, and even use the stock intake and exhaust manifolds. But, that's just me; good luck with your project, and see if you can find a pair of those "kilt like" painted valve covers. I looked at your intake manifold in progress, keep it up.
It looks to me like the stock intake manifold is of the open plenum design, it looks surprisingly a lot like the Pontiac 301 carbed intake, and looks to have siamesed ports also, like the Pontiac 301, save for yours being for a single throat carb. Maybe start with making an open plenum manifold, it would probably be the easiest.

Saints be Praised? - The Hyperliterature Exchange, August 2006
New on The Hyperliterature Exchange for August 2006: a review of 'Broken Saints', an epic 24-part 12-hour-long Flash-animated comic book, which has been visited on the Web by more than five million people, and has sold almost 10,000 copies on DVD. A new DVD version, distributed by Fox, is published this month.
"Senecan tragedy is a useful point of reference for Broken Saints because it shares the same preoccupation with bloody violence, particularly violence within the family. At the end of Broken Saints a deranged father pulls out one of his daughter's eyes, wires up her brain to the Internet and hangs her on a crucifix made out of computer monitors as part of his attempt to achieve world-domination: a climax so lurid and grotesque that even Seneca might have found it hard to outdo."
To read the whole review, go to http://hyperex.co.uk/reviewbrokensaints.php .
The Hyperliterature Exchange is an online directory and review of new media literature for sale on the Web. More than 120 works are now listed. Please visit and browse at http://hyperex.co.uk .

Shrimp-and-Pork Spring Rolls
Zang Toi's supremely crispy spring rolls are filled with a mix of marinated shrimp, ground pork and a handful of colorful julienned vegetables, like carrot, jicama and beans. The fried shallot rings add alluring flavor and crunch to the spring rolls, too, but they're optional. Toi even makes his own chile sauce to serve as an accompaniment.

I was recently listening to a series on great women in Islam, and was struck by the great names among scholars who were raised by single moms.

These women were so focused and hardworking that they resolved not to remarry in order to instead devote themselves entirely to their children.

" Brand: Asda / Type: Crisps/Snacks "
Deciding to venture beyond my usual Walkers multipacks, I decided that I would give these crisps a try and I am now hooked on them.
The flavours are unique and are diverse in terms of taste. My favourite has to be the Wiltshire Ham and Wholegrain Mustard. As a great fan of Brannigan's ham and mustard, I was keen to try Asda's version. I often find that the mustard flavouring in Brannigan's to be slightly intense and I was relieved to discover that this was not the case with the present crisps. These give just the right balance between both flavours, so that one does not overpower the other.
All of the flavours are delicious in their own unique way and I love them all!
The only down side to these scrumptious crisps is that the packaging cannot be recycled and as someone who likes to do their bit for the environment, I hope that Asda sort this out in the future.
Consequently, now I am becoming accustomed to the finer things in life, well at least when it comes to crisps anyway!
Asda's Extra Special version of Kettle Chips in individual packets basically.
This particular variety comes in "meaty" flavours: steak and pepper, ham and mustard and honey barbeque.
The price tag is certianly more Asda than Kettle Chip - at £1.60 for a pack of 6 bags. And a good selection of flavours too. Much better than the oligatory bacon, chicken and steak and onion that you usually get in "meaty" variety packs.
The strength of the flavours are not strong, they are certianly not as flavoursome as Kettle, and lack that extra crispy cruch. These have a harder texture to them. But at less than 30p a bag, you cannot expect miracles. That being said, they are tasty enough for my liking, but those who like the strong crisps (like Brannigans and McCoys) then perhaps these are not for you.
The crisps are clearly of the handcooked vareity and genuinely have the appearance of having been cut from potatoes rather than some constitued mash of some sort. Of course you will get some darker bits in these more natural crisps, so perhaps kids will find these less appealing.
The packets have that slight waxy texture that all handcooked crisps seem to come in, and Asda are genuinely competing against other supermarket versions of Kettle, and they are doing a good job!
