Yesterday I tried to break down why Americans can't stop, won't stop buying Subarus. Sure, they're great cars, but few of them these days are also great-looking cars. You know what I miss? The last-generation Legacy, especially in Spec B trim.
That was a sexy little sedan. Very clean, very understated, very athletic. And in Spec B form, it was like a mini-WRX STI for grown-ups with a six-speed manual and a respectable 243 horsepower. It also had the SI-drive AWD adjustment goodies from the STI.
John Davis and the MotorWeek seem to enjoy its acceleration and its handling prowess. They also dug its stealthy design.
Sadly, Subaru doesn't even make a Legacy GT anymore. That's a shame. The old Legacy seemed a lot more special than the bloated current one.

The next major release of HTML, dubbed HTML 5, will include several new tags for embedding audio, video and other graphical content in web pages.
Currently, your browser needs a plugin to play embedded multimedia content. For instance, you need to install Adobe Flash Player for watching videos on YouTube while the QuickTime player is required for viewing movie trailers that are available on the Apple website.
That may however change because the HTML 5 group has recommended some new tags – <audio> and <video> – that will let you play video files in the browser without the Shockwave Flash plugin.
You can visit youtube.com/html5 to see the HTML 5 video tag in action.
This may look like a regular YouTube video player but the interesting part is that the YouTube video clip will play just fine even if you disable (or completely remove) the Flash Player from your browser.
You can either use Firefox 3.5, Google Chrome or Safari 4 to view this video but no Internet Explorer.
And here's a single line of HTML 5 code that was used to embed this video clip on the YouTube page:<video width="640" height="360" src="file.mp4" autobuffer> <br>You must have an HTML5 capable browser. </video>
This YouTube page demonstrate some of the capabilities of HTML 5 but it's nearly impossible predict at this stage if HTML 5 (or the Open Video format promoted by Mozilla) can make any impact on the ubiquitous Flash Player which, some estimates suggest, exists on more than 90% browsers.
The other problem is that none of the older browsers can understand content that's wrapped inside the <video> tag so you'll still need to embed your video streams through Flash or an alternate technology like SilverLight.
That said, HTML 5 still looks very interesting and exciting.

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large, wide sauté pan. Tip in the onion and garlic, then fry for 6-8 mins until turning golden. Add the carrots and fry for 2 mins more. Stir the meat into the pan, breaking it up as you stir. Cook and stir over a high heat until the meat is no longer pink. Pour in the wine and briefly cook until most of the liquid has evaporated. Stir in the cinnamon and allspice. Tip in the tomatoes, tomato purée and 1 tbsp water (mixed with any juices left in the can), then stir to break up the tomatoes. Season with some pepper, add all the oregano and half the parsley, cover, then simmer on a low heat for 50 mins, stirring occasionally. Season to taste. Mix in the remaining parsley. Can be done a day ahead and refrigerated overnight.
While the meat cooks (unless you are doing this a day ahead) prepare the aubergines. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/ gas 6. Brush a little of the remaining oil onto 2 large baking sheets. Mix the rest of the oil with the lemon juice. Slice the aubergines into 1cm thick lengthways slices, then lay them on the oiled baking sheets. Brush with the oil and lemon mix, then season with pepper. Bake for 20-25 mins until soft, then set aside. Lower oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4.
Spread 2 big spoonfuls of the meat mixture on the bottom of an ovenproof dish (about 28 x 20 x 6cm deep). Lay the aubergine slices on top, slightly overlapping. Spoon the rest of the meat mixture on top. Beat the eggs in a bowl. Slacken the cornflour with a little of the yogurt, stir in the rest of the yogurt, then mix this into the eggs with half the cheese. Season with pepper. Pour and spread this over the meat to cover it. Sprinkle with the rest of the cheese, a little cinnamon and a grating of pepper. Bake for 50 mins-1 hr until bubbling and golden.
Leave moussaka to settle for 8-10 mins, then scatter over some chopped parsley and cut into squares. Serve with a salad of tomato, red onion and rocket.

'Projects Abroad Country Manager, Bridgette Barrett, speaking at a partnership workshop in Mandeville Manchester yesterday (June 4), said that these include undertakings in the areas of culture, medicine and health care, conservation and the environment particularly in disaster management and agriculture.

Organizations without hotlines
A Call To Men
A CALL TO MEN is a leading national violence prevention organization providing training and education for men, boys and communities. Our aim is to shift social norms that negatively impact our culture and promote a more healthy and respectful definition of manhood. We believe that preventing domestic and sexual violence is primarily the responsibility of men. The organization's approach is grounded in the social ecological model, advocated by the Centers for Disease Control, as a framework for primary prevention of gender-based violence. Although historically it has been almost entirely women who have been at the forefront addressing this issue, we think it is essential that men play a primary role in the solution. A CALL TO MEN offers a variety of trainings, consultations and technical assistance.
Break the Cycle
Founded in 1996, Break the Cycle is still the only agency to provide comprehensive dating abuse prevention programs exclusively to young people. We believe everyone has the right to a safe and healthy relationship and work every day to make that right into a reality. Break the Cycle offers programs providing help, tools and information to prevent and end domestic and dating violence. www.loveisrespect.org is the most comprehensive resource on the web to provide education about domestic violence.

FORGE is a national transgender anti-violence organization, founded in 1994. Since 2009, we have been federally funded to provide direct services to transgender, gender non-conforming and gender non-binary survivors of sexual assault. Since 2011, FORGE has served as the only transgender-focused organization federally funded to provide training and technical assistance to providers around the country who work with transgender survivors of sexual assault, domestic and dating violence, and stalking. Our role as a technical assistance provider has allowed us to directly see key continued and emerging challenges many agencies are experiencing in serving sexual assault survivors of all genders. FORGE is a progressive organization whose mission is to support, educate and advocate for the rights and lives of transgender individuals and SOFFAs (Significant Others, Friends, Family, and Allies). FORGE is dedicated to helping move fragmented communities beyond identity politics and forge a movement that embraces and empowers our diverse complexities.
Our work is rooted in two foundational principles: Being trauma-informed and empowerment-focused in all the work we do both with survivors and with victim service professionals. We are also guided by research and evidence-based strategies, but are highly aware that when working with marginalized populations sometimes the most successful solutions are charting new territory and creating new best practices. FORGE provides resources, referrals and programming to survivors as well as providers.

1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS - Put It Into Overdrive!
Yeah, We Got 25 Percent Better Fuel Economy With Our Big-Block '68 Chevelle, But Our Gear Vendors Overdrive Packs Even More Fun Than We Counted On.
Street SweeperAt $4.27 per gallon for 91 octane premium unleaded, the price to fill up the 20-gallon tank in our '68 Chevelle just climbed well over $80. Yikes! On top of that, the actual distance yielded by that gas with our 496-inch big-block and Turbo 400 trans was only about 150 miles. We'll do the math for you: That's about 7.5 miles per gallon. Something had to give, so we contacted the overdrive specialists at Gear Vendors.
We'd heard good things about Gear Vendors overdrives from friends and readers. For one thing, we'd lose none of the strength of our bulletproof TCI Turbo 400 like we might if we switched to a 700-R4, 200-4R, or 4L60E. We'd need none of the complicated programming electronics like we would for a 4L80E or 4L60E. We wouldn't need to break out the chopsaw for tunnel clearance either-only a slight massaging of the tunnel with a rubber mallet would be needed. Traditional overdrive automatics also hunt worse than Elmer Fudd-and that ride is no fun on the highway. We could've gone with an overdrive five- or six-speed manual, but neither of these was right for the street/strip vibe of our Chevelle. The Gear Vendors was our obvious choice, so we made the call.
We spoke to Rick Johnson, the CEO of Gear Vendors, and he told us in no uncertain terms that his 0.78:1 overdrive unit would better our fuel economy by at least 25 percent. Not only that, but his overdrive would be practically indestructible-even behind our big-block-and loads of fun to boot. (Rick's a big fan of splitting gears, which the Gear Vendors overdrive allows because its ratio is split numerically perfect between most transmissions' gears.)
Rick invited us down to the Gear Vendors company headquarters in El Cajon, California (near San Diego), where his crew installed one in our Street Sweeper '68 Chevelle project car. What's interesting to note is that a Gear Vendors installation is remarkably simple. Even with photos, we were out in about five hours. (Try that with a five-speed manual swap.) But you don't have to go to Cali to get one installed-there are certified Gear Vendors installation facilities all over the country. (You can check the Web site or call to find one in your neck of the woods.) In fact, in order to sell a Gear Vendors overdrive, a retailer must be a qualified installation center for the entire Gear Vendors product line.
The short of it: For just under $2,600, you can get a kit for your Turbo 400-equipped GM A-body. Another $750 or so gets it installed for you (it's about $100 less for Camaros and Firebirds), which also includes the cost of shortening your driveshaft. Many Gear Vendors kits are available for Ford and Mopar musclecars, too, and that includes kits for four-speed manuals. While we were there, we got the chance to sample a late-model C5 Corvette, a '32 Ford street rod, and a '56 Chevy truck with a Gear Vendors overdrive, and they were all just as fun to drive.
Yeah, we said "fun." We didn't really expect that an overdrive button could be so cool, but it was a blast to chirp the tires by clicking it on. Likewise, turning it off on the highway, into a non-overdrive passing gear, was a thrill, too. And the icing on the cake: blasting through all the gears, splitting them with the overdrive (that's six in all for our Turbo 400-equipped Chevelle). It was so fun, we almost forgot the initial impetus for going overdrive: better gas mileage.
A careful measure of fuel economy before and after the Gear Vendors installation revealed that even under ideal conditions (55-mph top speed, no full-throttle blasts), the best we could muster on the highway without overdrive was 7.5 mpg. After the install, we easily pulled down 10 mpg, and we were going way faster than 55 mph, more like 65 mph. That's an improvement of 25 percent. Put another way, we could go the same amount of miles from our fill-up for about 20 bucks less-and still have 5 gallons left in the tank. The only question we're asking now is: "Why didn't we do it sooner?"
The Beauty Of Gear SplittingThe first thing most people think about when contemplating the purchase of a Gear Vendors overdrive is the improved fuel economy. The thought coming just after that is imagining what it would be like to extend the life of a high-performance engine by another 25 percent before needing an expensive rebuild. If the credit card isn't out by then, you're a really tough customer, and you may also need to ponder the improved quality of the driving experience that allows you to, say, hold a non-screaming conversation with a passenger, or listen to the radio at a reasonable volume level. We would also like to offer you another reason: gear splitting.
In a drag racing scenario, it is the average power applied over time-rather than fuel economy-that trumps all else. In a perfect world, the drag racer would keep his engine at peak power continuously for the entire run to maximize his e.t. But that can't happen, partly because the transmissions in use behind high-powered engines tend to be simple, beefy two-speed Powerglides, or three-speed Turbo 400s. These transmissions can take loads of abuse, but their limited number of gears necessarily forces the engine out of its optimal operating range at some point.
Enter the Gear Vendors overdrive. For our purposes here, we can take the overdrive concept and turn it on its head. Whatever numerical rearend gear ratio that was optimal (without overdrive) for peak power going through the top end can now be multiplied by a factor of 1.28 for even more grunt off the line. (If you were using a 3.73 gear, a 4.88 gear will now give you close to the same finish-line rpm.) At the point where you run out of gear without the overdrive, kick it into overdrive for the dash to the finish line right in the meat of your power curve. The end result is that your engine stays near its peak longer-and quicker e.t. 's and faster trap speeds are the outcome (you may even find yourself needing only a nominally shorter gear as a result).
But the advantage doesn't end with just having an overdrive. Try splitting the gears between one-two (and two-three if you have a three-speed like a Turbo 400 or Ford C4). You'll stay near peak power for even longer, for improved e.t. Don't believe us? We found Jim Luttrell, a veteran Super Comp racer from Apache Junction, Arizona, using a Gear Vendors overdrive in just such a fashion-with race-winning results. We spoke with Jim about his experience racing a dragster at over 200 mph with a Gear Vendors overdrive, and here's what he had to say:
"I run a Powerglide, and we've worked to split the gears with our Super Comp dragster. For a while, I was just using it as an overdrive to bring the rpm down-to bring it back into the torque curve-at the top of the track. Then we moved to NHRA Super Eliminator in NHRA Division 7, and with the Gear Vendors, we were the only Dragster in the division running over 200 mph on a 7.90-second index-right at 204 mph. With the gear splitting, you take off in First gear, then at a set rpm, the Gear Vendors goes into First-over, with the Gear Vendors engaged. When the transmission shifts into Second-which is High gear in a Powerglide-the Gear Vendors will switch back out. Then later on down the track, the Gear Vendors comes back in to keep the rpm down in the engine's torque peak. It basically makes a two-speed Powerglide into a four-speed.
"We then figured out how to use an MSD rpm-activated switch with a lock on it, and also on the shifter, with another rpm-activated switch. The shifter on the Powerglide and the shifter on the overdrive are not connected-the rpm switch on the shifter turns the overdrive on, and the one on the MSD turns it off. Basically, I don't have to do anything. If there's some human involvement, it isn't going to be consistent. In Super Comp, consistency is the key to winning. The reason why the lock is so important is that on the top of the track, I want the overdrive to stay engaged to where if something happens, I don't want to over-rev the motor.
"Then we wanted even more simplicity, so we stopped using the rpm switches and changed over to timers to activate the overdrive. We still had the switch on the air shifter to deactivate the overdrive on the one-two shift. We also used a second timer to engage the overdrive on the top end. It gave us more consistency. After a few runs on a test and tune day, we could easily move any of the shift points before race day. We did pretty well. We actually won a Wally Award with it in Super Eliminator at the National Open in Division 7.
"I'm making right around 1,900 hp, and this Gear Vendors unit has never come apart, or been checked out. It's still together. I couldn't even guess how many passes I put on it-it's got a minimum of at least 400 passes. It's been in at least three different dragsters since 1997, and behind everything from a carbed big-block Chevy, to a blown Keith Black Hemi. Rick Johnson at Gear Vendors keeps wanting to take it apart and inspect it, but I don't see any reason to. Those guys have just been above and beyond for me."

On 9 December in 1886 the Mexico, a Hamburg-registered barque bound for Guayaquil from Liverpool went aground near Southport, in a full west north westerly gale.
A regular listener Bernard McCann in Preston in Lancashire on hearing about the Mexico centenary in Wexford this weekend was in touch about a vessel of the same name back in 1886 near Lytham St Annes........
A lifeboat, the Eliza Fernley, was launched from Southport in response to distress signals from the Mexico. When the craft reached the Mexico, it was struck by heavy seas and capsized.[1] Two hours later, she was found approximately three miles from Southport at Birkdale. Fourteen of her sixteen crew had perished.
A public fund for relief of the sixteen widows and fifty orphans was opened with the RNLI contributing £2,000, the Queen and the Emperor of Germany also contributing. £30,000 was raised in total, a considerable sum at that time .... A memorial statue of a lifeboatman looking out to sea was placed on the Promenade at St. Anne's.
Distinguished author Eoin Colfer and composer Liam Bates will join forces to host a concert on the centenary of the 'Fethard Lifeboat Disaster' of 1914 which saw nine-crew men of the RNLI vessel 'The Helen Blake' lose their lives aiding the shipwrecked Norwegian schooner 'The Mexico' off the coast of Wexford.The concert is hosted by Wexford Sinfonia this Saturday in Wexford County Hall to honor and remember the crewmembers of 'The Mexico' and the RNLI who lost their lives, the performance will include a specially commissioned piece by Composer Liam Bates, 'Heroes of the Helen Blake'- there is a ceremony at The Burrow on Rosslare Strand on Sunday afternoon and Seascapes will be there we'll have a full report next Friday …

Among the Internet's more bizarre step-children is the motion poster, a promotional work of art that, like the photos on the wall in a Harry Potter film, move while standing still. The latest specimen comes to us from "The Hunger Games."
It's basically just a flaming image of the mockingjay pin worn by the film's heroine, Katniss Everdeen, played by Jennifer Lawrence, a young girl fighting for survival in a post-apocalyptic world where every year kids are chosen to take part in battles to the death.
Based on the trilogy by Suzanne Collins--which will be made into four films--the first movie also stars Josh Hutcherson, Elizabeth Banks, Woody Harrelson, Stanley Tucci, Donald Sutherland, Toby Jones, Lenny Kravitz, and a few dozen others.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — It's no hits and no worries so far for Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez.
The three-time AL MVP grounded out twice and turned a double play Wednesday night in the second game of his minor league rehab stint with Class-A Charleston.
Rodriguez, who is recovering from left hip surgery in January, also went hitless in his first game with the RiverDogs. But the third baseman, who turns 38 on July 27, isn't panicking about his slow start — yet.
"I don't mind if I save all my hits for New York," he said with a grin.
Rodriguez plans to work out at Riley Park on Thursday before leaving for the Yankees' spring training complex in Florida. He'll play for the Yankees' minor league team in Tampa on Friday.
He said Tuesday he likely would need each of the 20 allowed rehab games to get back in shape. It sure looked that way in his two nights in Charleston.
In his first game since a miserable October, he hit into a double play and struck out in two at-bats. Then he struggled against 19-year-old right-hander Mauricio Cabrera of Rome, an affiliate of the Atlanta Braves.
Rodriguez swung at the first pitch he saw from Cabrera and grounded out to first. He found out when he got back to the dugout that Cabrera's pitch was clocked at 101 mph.
"I couldn't believe it," he said. "It's not very often you see 101."
He came up again in the third and bounced to second, leaving him 0 for 4 in two games at Charleston. He did start an inning-ending double play in the top half of the third.
"It wasn't too bad," Rodriguez said. "That's the first time in eight months I've gone out there back to back."
The Rome Braves rallied for an 8-5 victory in 10 innings nearly three hours after Rodriguez left the game.
Rodriguez's stay in Charleston was a success for the RiverDogs, who welcomed a crowd of 7,667 on Wednesday night after an announced attendance of 8,255 on Tuesday night.
Rodriguez signed autographs for the RiverDogs after he left Wednesday's game, and then spent about 20 minutes signing for fans in the right-field stands. He had a playful exchange with 12-year-old Charlie Stephens in Charleston's clubhouse, trading an autographed hat for the boy's Astros cap before giving that to him as well.
"How's that for a deal?" he said.
Rodriguez also posed for pictures with musician Darius Rucker. "I love this place," Rodriguez said.
There's a chance Rodriguez might return to Charleston on his rehab tour, but he's unsure of his schedule past the next few days.
Joining Rodriguez on the RiverDogs was Yankees shortstop Eduardo Nunez, who played six innings in his second game back from a strained oblique. He followed up on a 2-for-3 performance Tuesday by going 0 for 2 with a walk.
Nunez was unsure of his rehab schedule.
Intermittent rain kept the tarp on the field for much of the day and prevented both clubs from taking batting practice or getting infield work.
RiverDogs manager Al Pedrique said Rodriguez met with the Charleston players earlier Wednesday to discuss baseball life and answer any questions from the young players.
"It's great for the kids, they really had a blast," Pedrique said. "It's too bad he came out so early in the third inning."
That was by design. Rodriguez said after Tuesday's game he wanted to see how his body handled his first game action in nine months.
Pat Roessler, the director of player development for the Yankees, told Pedrique that Rodriguez felt fine Wednesday morning and was ready to go.
Rodriguez said he's putting in the hard work to come back because he has "a responsibility to baseball."
"That's the way I'm wired," he continued. "I obviously love the competition, I love the game. I know there are going to be a tremendous amount of naysayers out there and I look forward to going out there, playing well and contributing."
Also Wednesday, Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter moved one step closer to joining Rodriguez in minor league games by running the bases after putting the ball in play during his simulated at-bats.
Jeter had two singles, a double and three grounders against a pair of right-handers at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Fla. Running the bases in the simulated situation is normally one of the final steps in preparation to play in rehab games.
The Yankees expect Jeter to rejoin the big league team after the All-Star break.
Jeter hasn't played this season after breaking his left ankle in the opener of the AL championship series on Oct. 13. After surgery, the Yankees captain played just five spring training games because of soreness. A new break was discovered April 18.
CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — It's no hits and no worries so far for Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez.

Hi ya,
Utterly new to BW - well in fact before new - I've looked over the promo material and such. I use a Mac. I'd like to consider BW on the Mac as I'm interested in original language stuff. So the two immediate questions :
1. In the Mac Public Preview (MPP ? I guess that's what it means) is one really paying just $31 for a alpha/beta version of a CrossOver/X11 installer AND the entire base BW 9 package ? If it barely worked that would sound like a steal - well I exagerate but still. I presume that the DVDs do not constitute a fully functional Windows BW 9 install that might be used off license on a Windows env. Feel free to ignore that last bit if it seems ill-advised to answer publicly.
2. Once the MPP concludes and the product is production quality what is the plot for those who've been using the MPP ? Is there a requirement to upgrade to the full license (cost ? if known and for publication - trust me I work in software and I know you may know things that for now you may not say - no problem if so) ? I presume the MPP will stop taking refreshes - if it takes any now - see how little I know about BW

Divine Space is a 3D action role-playing game and adventure, focused precisely on hard science fiction. But below, you won't be reading about how good our game is. No, this is a totally different story.
Divine Space is a game that attempts to change the world of games and the game industry, an industry that sold its soul to business and money. It is a holy crusade of developers for the GAME but this is not the only thing that makes Divine Space special.
Today, our world, the real world, not some fantastic realm, is in danger. This danger comes from those who are not interested in humanity evolution and improvement. Those who keep power and authority and who don't want people to become smart and well developed. Those who want to keep control and don't want to risk losing their positions in confrontation with the smarter, better educated, high morale next generations.
Look around: education is being destroyed or weakened worldwide. In many countries schools are becoming too expensive for children to learn, or they teach only basic classes. To study in colleges or universities, most of students have to take loans, or they are unable to learn there. Teachers are being paid ridiculous money, except for a very few organizations… Those are the tiny pieces of the one big puzzle. Ignorance is not an insult; it is the fog that becomes more and more dense.
We are the game developers. We are those who create many different realms, and this is our power. We can take your time from you for your own money… and feed you with nothingness. We can be Langoliers who pledged to the profits and devour your time, filling your lonely existence with illusory fun and usefulness, or we can be Prometheus who fills your games with knowledge from the real world. We can make our games useful, educative, and benefiting. Yes, you will still waste a lot of time, but not for nothing anymore. Someday, maybe on the chemistry exams, you will remember that phosphorous is labeled as P and Radium as Ra. Maybe someday you will remember that gravity is 9.81 m/s2, or that one astronomical unit is equal to distance from Earth to Sun. Maybe, after playing some game, you will learn that Napoleon is not a cake, but that he was a political leader and his full name was Napoleon Bonaparte.
We are not speaking only about the miraculous game that we call Divine Space, no. We are speaking about the trend in game development that we can change. We can be one of those who brings educative games to the next level of quality and make them widely popular. We can be an example of how benefiting games can be to the whole humanity. To our children, we can show a lot more than the killing of others, stealing cars, or become violent mindless beings. We can show how politics works, how people think and react, how they interact, what consequences result from different solutions of the same situation, what is economy, trading and diplomacy. We can develop games that make players think. This is the goal of our development. We can create worlds with deep narrative, not only filled with a shiny rattles.
Will we succeed? We don't know. We will do our best to do that, and different scientific communities are willing to participate in our mission. We already have preliminary agreements with engineers who been building spacecrafts and space stations, few scientists from NASA and some astronauts – and this is only a beginning.
But we need you. We need everyone who cares for our future, for the world in which we will live soon. This is a moment to see, if our mission and idea is strong enough to survive. We need your support. If you have received this message, this means that you can do it. But do you want to?
Currently, our game is on Kickstarter. This is our chance, and we don't have another. If we will not reach our goal, Divine Space will be closed with a tiny chance for relaunch, but this chance is nearly impossible. How can you help us? Review our game. If you did it already, review again. Review it not as just yet another game, but as something bigger. As something that is meaningful and desperate at the same time. Something that can pass unnoticed… or become a unique part of the industry, a flagman for the future changes, and you can be a part of it. Those who are the stars today began their way many years ago, but ask yourself: would you want to be part of that history? We have a chance today. Join us in our crusade for a better world, better industry, better games.
We have just 16 days left to reach our goal. Now, after reading this message, there is no option to step aside. Right now, you are making choice on which side you are.

Which edition of Clockwork and Chivalry has more setting and background material?
I run systemless games, thus I am not interested in which edition contains the "better" version of the rule set. However, I am interested in the background material of the game.
Edit: If somebody has one edition but not the other, I would still be interested in how much background/setting to rules there is in said edition. I am loathed to ask for a metric such as a ratio of pages of rules to pages of setting since that could be misleading.

26th October 2016, Shanghai
Jana Bukolovska reports from China
The autumn edition of Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics, the leading influential apparel fabrics and accessories trade event, wrapped up on 13 October, attracting over 73,000 buyers from 90 countries and regions, a roughly 10% increase over the last year.
Held at the National Shanghai Exhibition and Convention Center, co-located with Yarn Expo Autumn, PH Value and CHIC fairs, the exhibition occupied over 260,000m2 of gross area, housing 4,553 exhibitors from 29 countries and regions, showing a decrease compared to 4,642 exhibitors in 2015, after years of consecutive growth.
"While we are aware that the current economic conditions are creating challenges in some sectors of the industry, we are confident that with the unrivalled range, internationality and quality of exhibitors here, this fair is increasingly viewed as the leading event where quality trade buyers come to conduct business, regardless of the prevailing economic conditions," commented Wendy Wen, Senior General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK).
Spanning over 10 halls, the products were grouped in various ways, with halls 5.2 and 6.2 dedicated to the showcase of the international product offers, featuring the ever-popular SalonEurope with European-made products exhibited by the UK, France, Germany and Milano Unica pavilions. Individual international exhibitors participating in the SalonEurope also came from the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland and the UK.
The Asian line-up featured a number of returning pavilions from India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Thailand, as well as the new Hong Kong pavilion, organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Counil and demonstrating a wide range of products including chiffon, nets, lace, cotton, velvet, fancy knits and Shandong silk, by companies like Kai Cheong Lining and Outlook Textile.
The featured zones included the Premium Wool Zone, where a great share of the UK companies like Harris Tweed Scotland, Bower Roebuck and Abraham Woon & Sons, a manufacturer of luxury wool fabrics for apparel and other markets, were accompanied by suppliers from France, Italy, Japan, Peru and Hong Kong, aiming to expand their business in the Chinese market. Other zones featured Verve for Design designer studio, All About Sustainability special area, and a Functional Lab.
The Beyond Denim area occupied the whole 7.2 hall, with over 170 exhibitors showcasing the latest denim yarns, fabrics and production machinery under the new concept Brooklyn Today. The hall featured four main trend themes: Modern, Heritage, Vintage and Rebellious, with a segment dedicated solely to knit denim fabrics showcasing modern athleisure design concepts.
The international halls were dominated by the high performance functional fabrics, with companies placing a strong focus on sports, activewear, outdoor and protective applications. The returning Functional Lab highlighted the wide range of fabrics, fibres and synthetic yarns with high performance properties like thermo-regulation, moisture wicking, increased durability, and elasticity.
International industry leaders participated in this special zone alongside a number of countries' pavilions. Nilit was promoting its nylon for shape memory for lingerie and activewear, Unifi Textile exhibited its moisture management yarns, Toyobo focused on fibres with high thermal conductivity, and Santoni, a leading manufacturer of knitting machinery for functional fabrics and apparel, promoted its latest technologies.
The debut Taiwan pavilion, the largest pavilion at Intertextile, participated in the zone with a focus on knitted functional fabrics for lingerie applications. The Functional Lab also featured the returning Invista pavilion, as well as exhibitors from China, Hong Kong, Israel, Japan and Korea.
For the first time this year, Invista had two pavilions, as part of the Functional Lab and in the Beyond Denim zone. This year, with its functional offer, the company focused on two areas. For sportswear, it debuted in Asia the new Lycra Sport technology that aims to deliver comfort, fit and support to stretch activewear, by combining the stretch technology of Lycra fibre with testing standards that help measure compression, comfort and energy release levels of the garment. For athleisure bodywear, Invista highlighted the importance of stylish high performance active and bodywear for the innerwear market, with the launch of its Lycra Hybrid technology for knitted and woven fabrics.
Lycra Moves Denim pavilion staged an Innovation Bar that showcased its denim technologies, including Thermolite Infrared fabric technology featuring NIR yarns, Lycra dualFX, Lycra Beauty and Coolmax technologies for stretch and shaping fabrics.
Sustainability and eco-friendly materials and production technologies became one of the main focuses of this year's show, with All About Sustainability zone increasing by 10% in scale, compared to the previous edition. According to Bernd Muller, Strategy, Development, of Ethical Fashion Show Berlin, China is now trying to open up to international markets and promote products like domestically grown 100% organic cotton.
Formed by three main components – Educational Zone, ecoBoutique and a new dedicated seminar area – the All About Sustainability zone demonstrated products and services from 24 exhibitors coming from China, Germany, Hong Kong, Korea, Switzerland and the UK, as well as the Oeko-Tex pavilion.
As part of the panel discussion series, Scott Miller, Business Development and Marketing Director, of Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC), moderated a discussion entitled Holistic Sustainability Performance Measurement: The Higg Index Driving Transparency & Continuous Improvement. Arguing for the need of the common approach to performance measurement, Mr Miller presented the coalition's vision of 2020.
Following Mr Miller, H&M's Sustainability Supply Chain Manager Peter Yang, who shared the company's efforts to raise awareness among consumers regarding the environmental impact of the garment they are purchasing. H&M joined SAC as a founding member in 2010. The brand now works towards providing the Higg Index of the garment in store for consumers to see, Mr Yang explained.
Finally, Lenzing's Peter Bartsch, Head of Global Sustainability, shared his vision of the company's role in saving the planet's resources by responsible sourcing of raw materials for its botanic fibres, recycling waste and implementation of the circular economy, which requires collaboration and transparency.
International textile and trend expert Ms Sachiko Inoue, the founder of I.S. Planning Japan, presented the Autumn/Winter 17-18 design trends in the Trend Forum, shaped by fabric displays and seasonal trend stories.
Divided into three main themes – Enigmatic, Manifesto and Eccentric – the future trends revolve mainly around warm, pastel, hazy shades and colours, often nature inspired, like violet, beige, grey, also revitalised by berry and coral reds, metallic finishes and blacks. Realised through a range of patterns, from blurred, floral prints, to graphic, Russian geometric prints and retro, Eastern European motives are replicated in bright, but subtle ornaments and patterns.
Fabrics vary from delicate, organic surfaces, oxidised wool, fancy loop yarns, natural and synthetic fibres, velvet, tweed, and double face felt, to irregular textures, 3D weave, striped knits, brushed mohair and decorative fabrics. Representative of the final theme, Eccentric, the Trend Forum was all about mixing materials, styles, colours and patterns, inspired by current trends of individuality, customisation and nostalgia for the traditional designs, as well as new dramatic ideas.

Chicago deathcore heavyweights OCEANO have released the following statement:
"Don't call it a comeback! OCEANO are excited to reveal that they will NOT be breaking up after this year's New England Metal & Hardcore Festival and will, in fact, record new music. The band is currently hard at work writing their next studio album for Earache Records, which is expected in early 2013."
Commented OCEANO frontman Adam Warren: "Kinda funny how right around Easter we decide to pull a Jesus and flip the script on what everyone was thinking, right?
With rumors running around, and haters trolling in their own discontent, it IS true OCEANO will be staying alive and kicking for the rest of 2012 and far beyond.
"After essentially removing ourselves entirely from touring and the music aspect of our lives for almost eight months, we all got to spend time with our families and friends and rediscover 'normal' life.
"We rarely experienced this being a part of OCEANO. So it felt amazing. But also, within all the valuable time home the itch slowly started to come back.
"Our 'final shows' at the Jamboree and New England & Hardcore/Metal Fest began to come closer, yet it just didn't feel like anywhere near the proper way to end this band.
"We all respect and appreciate how far OCEANO has come amidst all the bullshit and sidetracking. Prevailing from the entire struggle made it all worth it. We also love and cherish the things we sacrifice to be on the road and perform for all those people who have supported us through it all. So why can't we have both?
"We each took the time to discover the best approach and game plan to have ample time for the things we hold most important at home (family, jobs, etc.) while still being able to do what we love and making a living off of it.
"We're beyond stoked to get back to work and infect every listener with our brand of Windy City Death, but this WON'T be the OCEANO you knew from last year, or even before that. The stakes are higher, shit's gonna get heavier, and we're coming to entice destruction and bloodshed in every city. See you soon. "
Added longtime OCEANO manager Derek Brewer: "I wasn't going to let something this good go… I am very proud of this band and their accomplishments all the way from the time I first starting working with them when they were playing in front of 30 kids every night at all ages community center shows to selling out well-respected clubs across the U.S. on their last headline tour. So when the band reached out to me to figure out a way to get things back in action, I was more than eager to do what I could to make it happen."
OCEANO has three dates planned — the Jamboree in Toledo, Ohio; the New England Metal & Hardcore Festival in Worcester, Massachusetts; and a hometown throwdown show in Chicago. Plans are underway for the band to participate in a large-scale summer tour in the U.S. and return to Europe for a full tour this fall.
OCEANO's latest album, "Contagion", sold around 3,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The CD landed at position No. 3 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200. Released in the U.S. on November 9, 2010 via Earache Records, the album was produced by Chris "Zeuss" Harris, who has previously worked with MUNICIPAL WASTE, THE ACACIA STRAIN, HATEBREED and SHADOWS FALL, among others.

This section contains the following:
Client/server runtime is obsolete in Forms Developer and Forms Services.
When you use Forms Developer, part of the upgrade process is to upgrade your Forms applications for Web-based deployment.
See Chapter 15, "Upgrading Client/Server Applications to the Web" for information about how client/server deployment differs from Web-based deployment.
The obsolescence of client/server deployment has little to no effect on the development and debugging of Forms applications. You can still run your code in Forms Developer without having to deploy on the Web first. Use the one-button-run facility, which renders a true WYSIWYG representation of a Web-deployed form.
The PL/SQL debugger has been improved to allow debugging in a three-tier environment.
The following command line options for Runform have been removed because they relate to obsolete features:
Character mode runtime, which was only available on UNIX and VMS platforms, is no longer available. All character mode support has been removed from Forms Developer and Forms Services. See Chapter 6, "Properties" and Chapter 9, "Logical and GUI Attributes" for more information.
