Tire and rubber dressings bond best with a clean surface. Old dressings and oily road films inhibit the bonding of a new dressing. Silicone dressings eventually turn tires and trim brown. Griot's Garage Rubber Prep eliminates all the grease, the dirt, and the silicones to uncover the actual rubber. Your new tire dressing will bond better, last longer, and look better when you start with clean rubber.
Who hasn't gotten wax on black rubber moldings? Griot's Garage Rubber Prep removes wax, silicones, sealants, and oils. We're talking clean. Clean rubber just looks better. It turns out that some of the dressings we use to make our tires look better actually make them look worse because they attract all sorts of dust and dirt. Griot's Garage Rubber Prep removes the dirt and the sticky dressing, so you're left with clean rubber. Use it on vinyl, too.
Griot's Garage Rubber Prep deep cleans rubber to prepare it for vinyl and rubber dressing.

Bookstore | NONFICTION | BUSINESS & ECONOMICS
Performance support is a rapidly growing discipline of enabling human performance on the job. It helps people to do their jobs and to develop competence through the normal course of doing work, rather than through off-job training or extensive reading. Ultimately, it supports the performance of a business, through enabling the performance of individual workers. It has demonstrated dramatically improved performance by many types of workers and their businesses.
This book summarizes many ways of incorporating techniques of performance support in the workplace, systems, and processes of organizations. Some of the ways are simple, some more complex. The author's hope is that you might adopt even one or two of these methods, and that doing so will save money for you and your organization, and that doing so will enable you to make a profound impact on the business of your organization and that of your customers.
Nearly all companies have the difficulty that it takes too long and costs too much to develop competence in their employees. Modern computer systems change so frequently, and applications and work environments are so poorly designed, that there is constant retraining going on. Work processes change to keep up with competitive pressures. Classroom training nearly always misses the mark by being late or ineffective in transferring skills back to the job. The fact that people need to be trained to use products in the first place is the essence of the problem. This book addresses that problem by means of various methods of performance support. Further, it presents a structure for developing "performance support solutions," which allow a phased introduction of performance-enabling features in products over time, to accommodate customers' varying budget and infrastructure levels.
The value proposition for performance support is that for relatively modest investment, a high return can be realized for the cost of product ownership and support. This investment can be as little as zero (by incorporating performance-centered design methods into a product development process) and as much as ten person-years or more (for a high-end integrated performance support and knowledge management system). A Performance Support Solution strategy can allocate the investment to a rollout of PS features over time.
Bill Bezanson practices what he preaches with Performance Support Solutions. This book is a comprehensive, pragmatic, and precise treatment of the field of Performance Support. It covers all aspects of the field and, in keeping with Bill's advocacy for "obvious products," the book is itself an obvious product. Every Performance Technologist, whether a novice or an expert, will benefit from keeping this book in close proximity. Especially relevant is his compilation of "N ways to implement performance support solutions," which facilitates incremental design of solutions, thus appealing to diverse development budgets or customer infrastructure readiness. In developing such an all-encompassing piece of work, Bill clearly demonstrates his assertion that "Performance Support work is more than a job: it is a calling," and those of us in the field should be happy that he feels that way! He has made our jobs a lot easier by providing us with an up-to-date, insightful review of the leading-edge thinking in our field.
Dr. Tony O'Driscoll
Author of Achieving Desired Business Performance, and Researcher with IBM's Institute for Advanced Learning, Raleigh, North Carolina.
Bezanson's authoritative, yet very readable work gives every organisation a motive for introducing, implementing, or improving their performance support solutions. It is well researched, full of great yet simple and implementable ideas, examples, and models, and while it satisfies the stringent academic criteria making it a useful reference and teaching aid, its real value lies in its grounding in the realities of the modern busy and complex workplace. It is obvious that the author speaks from many years of experience thinking about and grappling with user and organisational performance support issues.

Bill Bezanson's Performance Support Solutions is a comprehensive and practical guide for making products obvious, minimizing the need for costly training and product support. In today's increasingly complex and time-pressured world, this is a much-welcomed effort. Anyone interested in making systems easier to use needs to read this book!

The Protective Power of the Sacred Feminine
Five years ago, Lynda opened a yoga studio in an inner city neighborhood in a big East Coast city. Shortly after she opened, two teenaged girls showed up for practice. They brought friends. Within a few months, her afternoon classes were packed with young women from the local high school. One day, as Lynda guided roomful of teens into the Warrior sequence, she was inspired to tell them the story of Goddess Durga. The girls were entranced. One of them asked Lynda for a picture of the goddess to take home. "I want to make a tee-shirt," she said. "That lady is my hero."
"When she said that," Lynda told me, "I realized that it was true for me too. The image of Durga had been showing up in my dreams ever since I opened the studio. She's the image I carry with me when I have to tackle my landlord, or talk down a girl who's acting drunk or crazy. To me, she's the icon of strength."
Lynda is not the only woman I know who identifies with Durga. The image of this goddess, beautifully sinuous, mounted on a lion, her eight arms holding weapons and flowers, might be the avatar for empowerment and protection. Women who juggle families, jobs, and yoga, who step up to support the environment or travel to storm-torn cities to help build housing for displaced families, look a lot like contemporary Durgas. For men as well as women, meditation on Durga can bring forth both warrior strength and protective compassion. When you bring her image into your inner world, she can empower your most radical aspirations and guide you through your most conflict-ridden life dramas. More than that, Durga embodies the inner power to transform yourself—to let go of addictions, obstacles, and the illusions and fears that hold you back.
When I set out to write my book about the yoga goddesses, Awakening Shakti, the main question that came up for me was this: Why goddesses? How are these mythic beings, who come from another time and another culture, helpful to a contemporary yogi? There are a couple of answers to that question. First, these goddesses are true psychological archetypes. They personify subtle but powerful energies that we need to make conscious in our psyches as well as in culture. For centuries, the Indian and Tibetan tantric traditions have taught meditation on deities for bringing higher energies into the body and mind. Goddesses personify Shakti, the power that enlivens this world. (In Indian cosmology, the divine source of all—God—is described as having two interconnected aspects, which are described as Being and Becoming, Awareness and Power, or Shiva and Shakti. The Awareness aspect is called Shiva, the cosmic masculine. The power aspect is known as Shakti, the supreme feminine. All creativity and power, then, emerges out of the feminine aspect of the supreme reality.)
Practicing with the stories and mantras of one of these mysterious and powerful figures is a way to invite transpersonal energies into your life. Though this may seem counter-intuitive to a modern mind, goddesses are real. They exist in subtle forms, invisible to us, but actually present when we know how to invoke them. We can learn to sense their presence, and as we do, they bring us very palpable inner gifts and blessings.
In Indian culture, and increasingly in the world of yoga, Durga is the Shakti you call on for strength, protection, and transformation. As a warrior goddess, Durga carries a spear, a mace, a discus, a bow, and a sword—as well as a conch (representing creative sound), a lotus (symbolizing fertility), and a rosary (symbolizing prayer). In one version of her origin, she arises from the combined strength of the male gods, to fight a demon king called Mahishasura.
Ever since, Durga has been the deity to call on when you're in deep trouble, facing obstacles, or fighting your inner demons. She is also the power behind spiritual awakening, the inner force that unleashes spiritual power within the human body in the form of kundalini. She is literally the power of evolutionary transformation.
Aurobindo Ghose, one of the great 20th-century spiritual visionaries, believed that the Shakti, the sacred feminine power that Durga personifies, is the real force behind the evolution of human consciousness. He wrote that she is always trying to evolve our awareness, to help us create a world in which we live in balance with each other and the earth, and with our own sacred masculine and feminine natures. But he believed that to access her transformative power, we have to call it, ask for it, and pray for it. It's as if the protective, transformative power of the divine waits, just out of reach, unable to intervene until we summon the courage or the desperation to throw ourselves at her feet, literally or metaphorically, and ask for her help.
This is true not only in our battles against external obstacles. The transformative journey is next to impossible without help from the subtle realms. If we are going to be able to see through the illusions that trap us—the genetic patterning, the imbalances of intellect and emotion, the warring desires, the fears, the cultural biases, and the sheer weight of our physical senses—a transpersonal form of strength is needed. Durga personifies that force.
The mighty battles between Durga and the demons is the inner struggle that invariably begins when we undertake real transformative practice. Like the demon king in the Durga myth, the ego enters into spiritual practice with a secret agenda. Egos seek control—control over circumstances, control over the body, and control over the people around us. Power and mastery are what matter to the ego. So naturally, the ego will resist surrendering to higher powers, letting go of its agendas, or giving up control on any level. But the evolutionary Shakti has a different agenda. She wants to move us away from egocentric consciousness to the recognition of our non-difference from each other and the cosmos. To do this, she must put the ego in its place and ultimately dissolve it. The ego, however, will fight her to the death.
As postmodern practitioners, we usually prefer to take a gentler attitude toward our own dark side. Many of us long ago rejected the kind of religion that emphasizes sin and insists on eliminating the darker forces in the self. If we are practitioners of a spiritual path that emphasize our innate goodness, we might prefer to ignore the negative qualities in the self, on the principle that fighting the ego only strengthens it. If we're psycho-dynamically oriented, we might be interested in bringing our shadow qualities into the light so we can integrate the power tied up in anger or greed or pride. If we are walking a non-dual path, we may feel that all struggle has to be given up, since everything is ultimately one.
All these approaches are useful, some on the level of personality, others as part of the practice for enlightenment.
But there are moments when the only way to put our narcissism in its place is with a sword—the sword of wisdom wielded by a warrior who takes no prisoners. This is Durga's role, whether she is operating in the outer world or the inner world.
In my life, the energy of the warrior goddess with her upraised sword shows up to remind me to get my striving, performance-oriented ego out of the way, so that the deeper power can unfold my life according to her evolutionary imperative. Durga, in my inner world, is the unstoppable energy of spiritual growth. When I resist that, I often encounter an unexpected setback. She might get in my face as a kind of cosmic "No!" to my personal agendas, and then manifest as the deeper awakening that follows when I let them go. Over the years, I've been through this cycle often. At times, egoic illusions pile up, balloon out, and take over my world until, like cataracts, they ripen and become so swollen that they are ready to come apart of their own weight. Then nearly always, I hear the roar of the goddess's lion sounding through my dreams.
When you feel caught in one of those moments, when your personal will seems blocked by immovable obstacles, consider that it might be a signal from the Shakti. Then, consider sitting for a few minutes in meditation, and using your imagination to bring yourself into the presence of Durga.
EXERCISE: Accessing Durga
For this exercise, you will need a quiet place to sit, a journal, and something to write with.
Become aware of the Durga Shakti as a shimmering presence around you. You can visualize her seated on her lion (though sometimes she rides a tiger; see which animal feels right to you!). Her dark hair streams over her shoulders. She wears a golden crown, a scarlet silk sari, and golden necklaces, rings, and bracelets.
See her magnificent arms, strong and bristling with weapons: the bow, the sword, the trident, the mace, the discus. See, also, the lotus she carries.
She is watching you with an intent gaze. Her eyes are large and dark.
Offer your salutations to her.
Ask her: "What is the major inner obstacle I have to face now? What do I need to let go of? What should I be paying more attention to?" Or, ask her for guidance in a decision, or for the strength to stand up for something you know is right.
Close your eyes and turn to your heart. Ask the question in your heart.
Begin to write. Let the writing come naturally, without thought. Keep writing until you feel that there is no more to say.
Look over what you have written.
Now take the radical step of turning this over to the universal power of grace. Offer the obstacles to Durga, saying, "I offer all this to the Durga Shakti, asking that your grace dissolve all obstacles, inner and outer."
Now, with the inhalation, feel that you breathe in the goddess's energy. Exhaling, feel that you breathe it through your body and into the world.
Who Is Durga in Your Life?
The gesture of breathing in the goddess's energy is important. Sacred energies usually don't swoop down from the mountains to resolve our dilemmas. Instead, they work through our own body and mind. Durga's presence arises as insight, the strength to carry something through, or as the instinct to win your battles. When you practice with the Durga energy, you'll often find yourself taking on her qualities of strength and resoluteness.
The Heroine: Righting Wrongs
One way to get a felt-sense of the Durga Shakti is to remember a moment when you recognized, from the deepest place inside you, that something was wrong; that it had to change. If that recognition comes from the Durga Shakti, it goes beyond mere frustration. It goes beyond cognitive awareness of a social problem. Durga's transformative power carries a conviction that comes from deep inside the body, and with it often comes a sense of "Now!"—meaning the time is now. When that knowing is strong enough, it is followed by action. You will willingly put your body and your speech on the line to change the situation, whether it is an internal or an external one.
One of my Durga friends noticed that her son's asthma got activated during the times when local crops were being sprayed for pests. She organized a group of mothers to protest aerial spraying in her area, and after several years was able not only to have it banned in Los Angeles, but also to have the pesticide removed from circulation entirely. Now, besides her day job as a psychotherapist, she runs an environmental group focused on lobbying against airborne pesticides.
Durga as the Force of Inner Revolution
The same power of purposeful action can be invoked when you need the will to change a deep-seated habit or addiction, to carve out time for practice, or to follow an inner calling. Durga's shakti can give you the power to face the parts of yourself that are in the way of your evolution, but she can also show you how to speak up for yourself when you need to ask for a raise, face a challenge, or take on a difficult responsibility. The more you invite Durga's energy into your life, the more you'll feel her opening you to the warrior within you. Durga's power is the guardian of your highest aspirations, and she promises never to let you down.

A few months ago, I wrote about the benefits of getting a direct connection to the cloud. If you're considering heavy usage of public cloud services (especially IaaS and hybrid IaaS), having a direct connection onto your cloud service provider's network can make an enormous difference to the user experience. This is especially true for latency-sensitive applications, such as server-based computing (Terminal Services and Citrix VDI), and bandwidth-hungry use cases, such as data replication and cloud backup.
While you might be able to justify the cost -- or even show a savings -- of having a dedicated, high-bandwidth connection to a cloud service provider when running a large infrastructure, smaller businesses are much less likely to be able to make that math work. Instead, like the bulk of cloud users, most small businesses are forced to use commodity Internet access to reach resources they've decided to move into the cloud.
This may not be so bad if you have access to cheap, high-quality bandwidth or if your use case isn't particularly latency- or bandwidth-sensitive (Web-based SaaS applications like Salesforce.com might fall into this category). If you're not so lucky, it's difficult to know ahead of time how your user experience will be impacted. The surest way to know is to try it, and thankfully, many cloud providers will give you a trial run of their services so that you can do so. Unfortunately, if you want an accurate answer, "trying it" could mean migrating entire on-premise applications into the cloud -- a time-consuming process.

Cadillac News: Cadillac XTS lineup expands to livery, limo and hearse models
Filed under: Aftermarket, Sedan, Plants/Manufacturing, Cadillac, Specialty, Luxury
Cadillac has announced a trio of new specialty vehicles based on the 2013 XTS, including a livery sedan, limousine, and 'funeral coach' (read: hearse).
The first model mentioned, the livery sedan, is a factory package from General Motors, and features an air-leveling rear suspension, heated rear seats, and both side and rear window shades. All that, along with a tri-zone climate control unit, and you have one attractive ride to and from the airport. Buy what about that three day bender in Vegas for your friends bachelor party? Better get him the XTS limousine.
The limo and hearse are co-developed with selected aftermarket companies, which perform the work based on GM direction and specs. Cadillac spokesperson David Caldwell expanded upon that notion, saying "[we] determine and specify the types of specialty bodies that can be done, the amount of 'stretch' we support, etc. There is a small network of Professional Vehicle companies who are authorized to build these - we do not build specialty vehicle bodies 'in-house'."
While some features were mentioned for the livery sedan, little was specified about the limo or hearse. No pricing has been mentioned at this time, and it is likely that pricing would be on a case-by-case basis with clients.
Caldwell brought up that the established player in the livery market, the Lincoln Town Car, "has for a long time been the far-and-away market leader for these - and that will likely continue to be the case. But we are doing something specific for this, in a different direction." And what exactly would that be? Offering a livery car that is more than just a taxi with an all-black paint job; "we are offering the Livery Package with a bit more luxury inside than standard XTS models... which honestly will limit the volume quite a bit, but is the right approach for how we wish to present the brand."
Quality over quantity? How very un-fleet-vehicle of Cadillac, and an approach that could determine which "black car" you hail when leaving the airport.Continue reading Cadillac XTS lineup expands to livery, limo and hearse models

You need to know much more than if your site is up or down. You need to find problems that stop purchase completions. And you need to find them before customers do. Shoppimon can help with that.
By monitoring a store in much the same way as shoppers experience it (as a journey with multiple steps), you can focus on the issues that disrupt or stop their shopping experience, rather than attempting to understand the impact of technical exceptions as they're recorded in logs. This dramatically cuts down the time it takes to find real problems and drill down to their root causes for an immediate fix.
Traditional Application Performance Management tools focus on site infrastructure and alerts IT teams to problems, big and small alike. But Shoppimon's Magento APM technology understands eCommerce goals, so it can sift through the noise and notify you about issues that really matter, not the ones that don't.
We get how many resources go into integrating new tools in your daily routine. So we also know there's no need to waste time and energy on a lengthy setup process that requires a huge effort just to begin. With Shoppimon, all you need to do to get started is plug in your store's URL and you've started monitoring!
Identify store problems stopping shoppers from converting
Immediately see root causes & solutions to store issues
Compare business performance to industry benchmarks
Meet critical performance targets & track trends over time

Posts Tagged 'swimsuit'
£5 off sportswear!
January 2nd, 20140
We want to help you get active and beat those winter blues by offering
£5 off all full price sports bras and sports swimwear until 31st January*
Whether you're a runner, a walker, a swimmer, a skier or love to shake it at Zumba, why not invest in new sportswear to ensure you are fully supported while you're exercising.
The benefits of a well fittings sports bra…
As there are no muscles in the breasts, if you exercise without the correct support, the ligaments can stretch meaning your boobs could have less uplift in the long run. So if you like to hit the gym hard, or prefer something a little gentler, it's always a good idea to wear a properly fitted sports bra as this will help to protect your boobs, holding them more firmly to prevent bouncing. We offer both underwired and wire-free styles all of which are designed to offer maximum support whilst you exercise.
Guide to a good fitting sports bra…
- The underband should be firm, lie flat to the skin and not ride up at the back.
- Straps should be comfortable, stay on your shoulders and not dig in.
- Your boobs should be fully encased within the cups, not spilling over at the top or the sides.
- Finally JUMP! Test the bounce factor!
If you need any more advice or you're looking for a sports bra for something specific, we'd love to help so please call us on 01926 459 859.

March 5th, 20120
The start of another working week. if you are on your daily commute this Monday and you find yourself staring at billboards advertising hot destinations, you might find yourself drifting off and daydreaming of sunnier shores, it certainly makes the journey go faster! You may be one of the many UK residents whom have already booked their summer holiday, or you might be one of the lucky ones, going away soon, to search out some winter sun. Even at this time of year there are a few warm destinations not that far away, that are experiencing temperatures in the mid-twenties (sob sob).
Even if your holiday seems like its light years away, it is still difficult not to get a bit excited. Granted, we haven't even opened our first Easter Egg yet and the Christmas Tree may still be visible behind the shed, but the shops are already full of cotton printed tops, strappy sandals and floaty dresses. There doesn't seem to be much evidence of winter on our high streets and the same goes for our fashion magazines. It may be only the start of March, but we can still dream and plan our summer getaway and what's the most important item when you head for the sun…swimwear.
Bravissimo have some fabulous brand new bikinis and swimsuits that have just hit our shops and online store, so take a look at some of our new styles available now. And if you just can't wait till your holiday, you can always wear it at your local swimming pool, where you will definitely create a few waves.
The Paris Bikini Top by Pureda is absolutely adorable, it is a padded plunge bikini in a cute floral and polka dot print. It has a vintage fifties feel, but manages also to look contemporary, it is available in black with a white spot, combined with red flowers and red ties. This bikini top gives fantastic cleavage but also offers great support. It comes with a Swim Brief or Swim Fold Brief for more coverage.
The Boogie Bikini Top by Freya is another on trend bikini, it is available in a very vibrant sixties style retro print in Firefly. It is a halterneck top, which always creates amazing cleavage and it is available to buy with some sixties style bikini shorts or tie side briefs if you fancy something with less coverage.
If you want more coverage than a bikini can give you, you could opt for the Veronica Swimsuit by Panache, a really stylish and classic swimsuit, it is super flattering because of ruching detail and it also has a power mesh lining for more tummy control. It is underwired bra top with a keyhole detail at the back and comes in scarlet. This is a really gorgeous swimsuit that will look stylish year after year.
Check out all Bravissimo swimwear here…

The difference in simple words.
Using WordPress as an example.
Split : Assets such as Scripts, Images and CSS can be licensed separately as non GPL, because these are considered works separate from the WordPress code.
On the other hand, the PHP and HTML code that is intermingled with and operated on by PHP are considered derivative of WordPress code, hence will always remain GPL.
The split license allows you a bit of protection, allowing you to monopolize your work.
GPL: Everything is GPL'd, you basically give up any rights you have on all the assets as well.
That more or less sums it. You'll have to be more specific with what you mean by differences, if this wasn't of any help.
Thanks for the clear response. It would be good if Envato give a brief, simple response like this before adding all the fluff.
What is the advantage of GPL?
You said PHP and HTML code is GPL. If I buy a WordPress plugin can I redistribute it's PHP file?
@AvantPrime, The advantage of GPL is for the recipient of your code. There will be no limit in how they use the code as long as it conforms to the GPL. This means redistributing the code received for free or for a fee is possible.
As a buyer in this marketplace, you can use the product on multiple installations without having to incur additional costs. This is currently not possible with any other licensing model in the marketplace where you are required to buy a separate license per installation.
As an author, the business model is going to be based on the support angle. Nobody knows the code intimately as the original author and gives them a clear advantage in terms of support and updates.
@codenegar, as per the GPL licensing, this is fine. But keep in mind that the marketplace has strict rules. You cannot take an existing GPL or split licensed product being sold in his marketplace and re-propose it here as a separate product, even derivative works of this code is not allowed. You are still required to get explicit permission from the original author.

A firestorm has erupted over the state's decision to sharplycurtail public access to the Georgia Archives. The announcement late Thursday quickly became a cause celebre for academics and family genealogists alike as thousands signed online petitions and Facebook pages through the weekend.
Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp said even he was unhappy — and it was his decision. "To reduce public access to the historical records of this state was not arrived at without great consternation," Kemp said.

Libya's independents are kingmakers in new assembly
By Marie-Louise Gumuchian and Ali Shuaib
TRIPOLI (Reuters) - As soon as it was clear that independent candidate Abedrabbah Yussef Bubreg was set to win a seat in Libya's first free national elections for a generation, his phone started ringing.
The two leading political groups - a liberal coalition led by wartime rebel prime minister Mahmoud Jibril and the political arm of Libya's Muslim Brotherhood - each wanted to know how he would align himself in the 200-member assembly.
"They wanted to know what my vision was, what my thoughts were for Libya's future and with whom I would cooperate," said the 52-year-old philosophy professor, who won a seat for the eastern town of Baida.
"I said I would not join any side for now and I want to see what is best for Libya's national interest."
Jibril's National Forces Alliance (NFA) trounced Islamist parties in the race for party seats in the July 7 poll, winning 39 positions out of the 80 reserved for political entities, compared to 17 for the Justice and Construction Party (JCP), the political wing of the Muslim Brotherhood.
But those impressive numbers do not translate into an automatic majority for Jibril. The remaining 120 seats in the assembly were allotted to independent candidates like Bubreg, whose allegiances are hard to pin down.
Mostly elected on the basis of local connections and reputation rather than ideology, this potentially fractious mish-mash of lawyers, businessmen, activists and former opponents of Muammar Gaddafi is set to play a pivotal role.
In the battle to hold sway over the assembly, where the most important decisions will require a two-thirds majority, both Jibril's NFA and the Brotherhood's JCP are scrambling to form alliances with independents and smaller parties. Continued...

Cinema's latest odd couple in film on UK bombings
By Mike Collett-White BERLIN (Reuters) - In a moving film based around the 2005 suicide bombings in London, an unlikely friendship develops between a reclusive, prejudiced white woman from Guernsey and a towering African man who arrives in the city from France.
In "London River," the physical contrast between Mrs. Sommers, played by British star Brenda Blethyn, and Ousmane, played by Malian actor Sotigui Kouyate, is striking. They speak different languages. She is a Christian, he is a Muslim.
But through a common quest to find their children who go missing after the July 7, 2005 attacks, the strangers gradually become close and realize they have more in common than they ever would have imagined.
As well as desperately seeking news of their loved ones, neither of the missing children knew their fathers -- Ousmane left his family when his son was six, and Mr. Sommers was a navy officer killed in the 1982 Falklands War.
London River, directed by French-Algerian Rachid Bouchareb, is a portrait of the human suffering caused by violence, and how it is common to people of all backgrounds.
The movie, which has its premiere at the Berlin film festival on Tuesday, was warmly applauded by journalists and critics at a press screening and Blethyn could be in the running for a best actress award at the prize ceremony on February 14.
Mrs. Sommers comes to the teeming streets of London from the solitude of her isolated farm, and is taken aback by the ethnic diversity of the area her daughter Jane was living in.
When she meets Ousmane, with whom she converses in French throughout the story, she is wary, but when she discovers a link between them her preconceptions fall away. Continued...

Every time we pay for something over the internet – as anyone who loves technology and gadgets surely does – many of us still shrivel with fear inside. Some are just aware of identity theft and the army of fraudsters lurking in the system. Some may have established and maintained internet merchant setups, and know how byzantine and self-serving that system is. In the last day or so, two seemingly trivial discoveries made me cringe.
1. PayPal asks for a bank or credit card number before letting you close a PayPal account. PayPal then takes $1.50 out of that bank account, so that you can prove it's yours by reporting to PayPal the secret code it leaves in the transaction details there. PayPal will then refund the money within 24 hours – to the PayPal account you just shut down!
2. At the Authorize.net payment processor, if you try to refund two payments for the same amount from the same customer (for example, recurring subscription payments from sequential months), the system frequently thinks you're trying to refund the same transaction over and over again, and refuses to cooperate.
Two trivial events, for sure. And they're not even the kind of thing that consumers are likely to ever confront. But they're perfect examples of how half-arsed and error-strewn the business of taking people's money online remains in 2007.
Consider that these companies now manage the transfer of colossal sums of money. Banks and credit card companies complain publicly about intermediaries like PayPal and CC processors. The truth, I suspect, is that they rely on them to soak up legal liability inherent in the messed-up world of card-not-present electronic transactions.
When you (either merchant or customer) get done over, who do you blame: shifty fraud-encouraging transaction skimmers like eBay and PayPal, or the banking industry types, such as VISA and Mastercard, which maintains the obsolete system that facilitates it all?

Woodbridge, VA-With Washington Nationals RF Jayson Werth in tow amidst a rehabilitation start, the Potomac Nationals (27-24, 16-11) shocked the Salem Red Sox (21-28, 12-17) by coming back from a 7-0 deficit, their biggest come-from-behind effort of the season, to win the Game Three contest by the final score of 9-8 on the strength of ten base hits and perfect defense. The Nationals now lead the four-game series two wins to one for Salem.
Werth, who played three innings, did not record any put outs in the field starting in right field, and roped a sharp single into center field in the 1st inning.
For the second consecutive start, RHP Taylor Hill, who did not receive a decision, gave up exactly seven earns runs on ten hits. Hill lasted 4.1 innings and struck out just one batter.
Salem tallied the first runs of the game against Hill in the 4th frame putting up a three spot. C Blake Swihart blasted an RBI double to center field and 1B David Renfroe tattooed his second home run of the season, a two-run shot over everything in left field to give the Red Sox a 3-0 lead. Both of Renfroe's four-baggers in 2013 have come at Pfitzner Stadium.
The Red Sox poured on four more runs an inning later in the 5th to take a 7-0 lead. RF Keury De La Cruz ripped a run-scoring single into center field and LF Brandon Jacobs laced an RBI double up the left field line chasing Hill from the game. Swihart knocked an RBI infield single off the eventual winning pitcher, Potomac RHP Greg Holt (2-0). Then, CF Henry Ramos lifted an sacrifice fly to center to plate the seventh run of the game for Salem.
Holt went 2.2 scoreless innings with two hits allowed, one walk, and four strikeouts.
An explosion of six runs in the last of the 5th frame for Potomac got the Nationals right back in the game. CF Michael Taylor doubled home one run on a liner to the wall in left field and SS Jason Martinson sprayed a run-scoring single up the middle. On a 3-1 pitch from Red Sox RHP Michael McCarthy, who was dealt a no decision, DH Caleb Ramsey crushed a grand slam off McCarthy over all three tiers of signage in right field, his fourth homer of the campaign and third deep fly against Salem.
With the Red Sox leading 7-6 in the 6th stanza, the Nationals pushed across three runs on a two-run rocket out to left field off the losing pitcher, Salem LHP Robby Scott by RF Randolph Oduber and an RBI sacrifice fly by C Adrian Nieto to give the P-Nats a 9-7 advantage.
Salem garnered one additional run in the 8th on an RBI single by DH Garin Cecchini blooped into left center field off Potomac RHP Rob Wort.
In the 9th frame, Nationals RHP Derek Self (4 SV) shut the door and got his fourth save of the season. Self gave up singles to Jacobs and Swihart, but Jacobs was caught stealing. Ramos grounded into a 6-4-3 double play to end the game started by Martinson.
The Game Four finale on Thursday night will feature a 7:05pm first pitch with Potomac sending RHP Blake Schwartz (4-1, 1.00) to the mound to gun against Salem RHP Mike Augliera (4-1, 3.44).
Thursday Cheers will usher in the series finale at Pfitzner Stadium as gates open at 6:00pm.

text: Despite the dreary day on campus, the forecast prediction at the University of Maine remained bright, Monday.President Paul Ferguson said, "A beautiful, blue sky. It's optimistic, it's beautiful, it's creative."Inside the Wells Conference Center on campus, Ferguson had a positive outlook on what is to come for the school, as he explained to staff members how the university plans to implement its Blue Sky Project."It's a blueprint for the University of Maine over the next three to five years," explained Ferguson.Approved by the Board of Trustees in July, the project aims to improve campus life with anything from updating its facilities to bringing in more money.The president said, "The challenge is that the state does not have a lot of money to continue to give. We want to maintain that appropriation level, but we really do need to supplement that with other sources."By reallocating some of the resources they already have, Ferguson said they have already accomplished some of what they set out to do."You'll see many of the buildings looking more beautiful, are being repainted. You'll see some of our construction coming to completion," he explained.While there is still more work ahead, UMaine's future is clear.Ferguson said, "This doesn't diminish the challenges we face, but it gives us the strength and inspiration to do it right."

A simulator for analyzing the interaction between the oil sand terrain and a pipe wagon articulating (PWA) system has been developed in this paper. An elastic-plastic oil sand model was built based on the finite element analysis (FEA) method and von Mises yield criterion using the Algor mechanical event simulation (MES) software. The three-dimensional (3D) distribution of the stress, strain, nodal displacement, and deformed shape of the oil sands was animated at an environmental temperature of 25°C. The 3D behavior of the oil sand terrain was investigated with different loading conditions. The effect of the load and contact area on the stress and nodal displacement was analyzed, respectively. The results indicate that both the max stress and max nodal displacement increase with the load varying from 0 to N and decrease with the contact area varying from 2 to 10 m2. The method presented in this paper forms the basis for evaluating the bearing capacity of oil sand ground.

LeAnn Rimes Pokes Fun at Brandi Glanville at the Gym
Posted Wednesday January 9, 2013 8:20 PM GMT
After relaxing on vacation in Mexico, LeAnn Rimes went back to her routine at Equinox Gym in Los Angeles on Wednesday (January 9).
The country crooner wore a black t-shirt with a red angelfish on it and black workout leggings as she smiled at awaiting paparazzi.
Earlier this month, the 30-year-old star was labeled "Angelfish" by her hubby's ex-wife Brandi Glanville.
According to the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star, Leann "sings like an angel and drinks like a fish." It seems Ms. Rimes has embraced that title.
Enjoy the pictures of LeAnn Rimes in Los Angeles, CA (January 9).

NEMSH Recognizes Every Ribbon Tells A Story
Written by Jaimee Green
Most people probably can't imagine what it would be like to spend New Year's Eve losing all their hair. But, Margie Shanks, a breast cancer survivor, can. In 2005, when most people were watching the ball fall in New York City's famed Times Square, Margie was home with her husband, Jim, watching helplessly as her hair fell to the floor.
Back in 2005, it had been five years since Margie's last mammogram. "I wasn't someone who took getting an annual mammogram too seriously," she recalled. It was only following the loss of her sister, Betty, to breast cancer just months before that she decided she should get a mammogram. "Even when my sister was diagnosed, I felt it had very little to do with me. I never thought I could also be at risk for getting breast cancer because we had different mothers and I always thought the gene for it was passed through the mother," she recalls.
However, the mammogram revealed a large mass in her left breast.
"The radiologist happened to be in the hospital when I had my mammogram. He came in and showed it to me and suggested I get a biopsy immediately, which I did. The surgeon I went to to do the biopsy looked at the mammogram and told me she was only going to do a needle biopsy because she could see no point in doing surgery on me that day and again the next week," she recalled.
Because of the size of the mass, it was assumed that Margie had advanced breast cancer. Consequently, the surgeon performed a radical mastectomy and removed 22 lymph nodes. However, after the surgery, the biopsy revealed that Margie didn't have one large cancer, but two concurrent, small ones. There was no lymph node involvement. This was very good news.
Everything happened so quickly from the time the first biopsy confirmed it was cancer to the surgery. Margie had little time to process the seriousness of her situation. She had little time to be emotional about it until she was well on her way to recovering. Her strong support network included her husband; children, Jim, Ron and Jeri; and their spouses, Debbie, Sheryl and Bill; grandchildren; friends; family; and co-workers at the Brockton School, where she worked at the time. "I think it was so emotional for all of my family because they had just watched my sister die. They thought that was also going to happen to me.
She remembers consoling her grandson Ronnie after a football game his team had lost.
"He was crying so I told him there would be other games and he shouldn't feel bad over the loss. He told me he wasn't crying because his team lost the game, he was worried about me. It made me realize how hard my cancer was on everyone I loved and who loved me."
Her six-week recovery following surgery took place the same year as a weather event classified as a bow-echo that took the roof off her house south of Brockton. Her ceilings were ruined and had to be replaced. With the upstairs of her house under construction, Margie had to recuperate in her basement. Her entire family pitched in to speed up the job of restoring order to her home.
Following her surgery, she underwent chemotherapy and did really well with it.
"I had a schedule. I did my chemo on Thursdays and took Fridays off from work. I was sick during the weekend and back to work Monday," she said.
Like most patients, following chemo, Margie began taking a pill for five years that suppresses potential cancer cells from coming back. After completing the cycle, less then a month after her last pill, Margie discovered a lump at the mastectomy site. Originally, it was believed to be nothing more than a cyst. But once the physician opened the site, he quickly realized it was cancer and extracted everything he could from the lump site. She then underwent six weeks of radiation and began a new pill cycle.
As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Margie is one of the five survivors who spoke during the Oct. 23, Pink Night Out, at the Sherman Inn. Her story, like many others, is one of determination, courage and strength.
Like many breast cancer survivor patients, Margie is diligent about getting her annual mammogram and attending her three-month check-ups with her oncologist.
To date, she is cancer-free.
"I am really glad I had that mammogram because I believe it saved my life," she said.

Hi peps, i got a e36 1993 320i in the garage.
It has the original fog light switch, and fog lights installed (the foglights have wires on it)
Anyway, the previous owner installed a gaspump kill system, or what you call it. when i press the button the pump wont go and the car cant start, somekind of anti-theft system i think.
I removed it, and plugged in the original wires in the switch, only to discover it still wont light!!
I tried almost everything, and i checked the fusebox, my car is missing 1 of the 3 fog light fuses, fuse (5 i guess), and as far as i can see there is no metalplugs for the fuse in the box, so i cant install it??
So do i need a new fuse box with fog light complatiblement or what do i do?
My car is original m50 but have and m52 installed, but then the previous owner changed the fuse box aswell?
Greetings from Denmark.

"Who sees unmoved, a ruin at his feet,
The lowliest home where human hearts have beat?
Its hearth-stone, shaded with the bistre stain,
A century's showery torrents wash in vain;
Its starving orchard where the thistle blows,
And mossy trunks still mark the broken rows;
Its chimney-loving poplar, oftenest seen
Next an old roof, or where a roof has been;
Its knot-grass, plantain,--all the social weeds,
Man's mute companions following where he leads;
Its dwarfed pale flowers, that show their straggling heads,
Sown by the wind from grass-choked garden-beds;
Its woodbine creeping where it used to climb;
Its roses breathing of the olden time;
All the poor shows the curious idler sees,
As life's thin shadows waste by slow degrees,
Till naught remains, the saddening tale to tell,
Save home's last wrecks--the CELLAR AND THE WELL!"
