2007 Mercedes Benz E550 Road Test
There I was, cruising along in a new, upgraded Mercedes-Benz E550 sedan and marveling at its many intoxicating charms when an odd question popped into my mind. What does the E in E-Class actually stand for?
A little Internet research revealed two possibilities. Wikipedia, the on-line encyclopedia, claimed it stood for einspritzer, the German term for fuel injection. Another seemingly knowledgeable contributor to an enthusiast Web site, wrote confidently that it stands for Executive. The writer also assured that the C in C-Class stands for Compact, and the S in S-Class for Super.
Those explanations seem to make sense, but they are incorrect. Michelle Murad, Mercedes-Benz product and technology whiz, set me straight.
None of the three letters stands for anything specific. They simply designate size, with C the smallest, E the mid-size, and S the largest of the world-class German sedans. Murad did agree that years ago, when Mercedes-Benz moved from carburetion to fuel injection, the E on the trunk badges of its various models really did stand for einspritzer.
Okay, so E doesnt really stand for a specific word. But it easily could. Actually, it could stand for a lot of them. Come along and Ill show you what I mean.
How about exhilarating?For 2007, the 5.5-liter V-8 engine recently introduced in the redesigned S-Class sedan replaces the 5-liter V-8 in the mid-size sedan. That boosts power from 302 horsepower to 382, and torque from 339 pound-feet to 391 pound-feet.
The result is a two-ton rocket that can fly from a stop to 60 mph in about 5.4 seconds and on to 104 mph at the end of a quarter mile in another eight seconds. That bests similar models of its prime competitors, BMW and Audi, and a bunch of other hot, sporty cars.
How about efficient?The smooth-as-a-turbine seven-speed automatic transmission mates perfectly with the engines power band, always choosing the right gear for the occasion. Drive for economy instead of performance and you are rewarded with fuel efficiency that is surprising in such a powerful, heavy car.
During one 130-mile highway stretch, cruising at an average speed of 70 miles an hour and tapping the exceptional acceleration only for passing, I averaged almost 26 miles per gallon of premium fuel. Around town, when I wasnt surprising others with the strong pick-up, I averaged 17 mpg.
Unfortunately for buyers, the Environmental Protection Agency pegs fuel mileage at 15 mpg city and 23 highway, meaning a ,300 gas-guzzler tax is tacked onto the purchase price.
How about entertaining?When the E550 is done with the routine of its primary job, the enthusiast can head for a favorite stretch of challenging blacktop for a little fun. Switch the transmission to manual mode, set the optional independent air suspension to its sportiest setting, and hit the accelerator. The rack-and-pinion steering, although a bit heavy, puts the sedan precisely where it is pointed and offers adequate feedback on road conditions. This car can cover ground quickly and without drama. And, the big, ventilated disc brakes are on hand to curb any over-enthusiasm. True, the E550 is not the most athletic sedan on the market, but its plenty capable of handling any public roads on which it travels.
How about effortless?With its relatively compact dimensions, the E550 is easily maneuvered in traffic, easy to park and, thanks to a tight turning radius, easy to maneuver into a mall parking space. This is all the more amazing because the interior is roomy for four adults, reasonably adequate for five. With the optional keyless-go feature, the driver can lock, unlock, start and stop the car without ever taking the key out of pocket or purse. The four-zone climate control system will maintain the desired cabin temperature automatically.
The drivers job is also made easier by cruise control; steering-wheel-mounted controls for the sound system and trip computer; automatic-dimming mirrors; rain-sensing windshield wipers and a remote locking system. Optional driver aids include a navigation system, heated and ventilated front seats, and a hands-free communications system.
How about evasive?This may be stretching things a bit, but this Mercedes sedan has a long list of features to help a driver evade an accident and to help all passengers evade injury. A PRE-SAFE system, until now the exclusive province of S Class sedans, is now incorporated into the E-Class.
If sensors detect an impending collision, the seatbelts are automatically tightened to hold the occupants more securely in place. If they detect that the front passenger seat is too close to the dashboard, or the seatback is too far reclined, or the seat cushion is positioned wrong, the system will automatically adjust it to safer settings.
If the vehicles goes into a skid that signals a possible rollover, PRE-SAFE will automatically close the sunroof and side windows.
And, if by some stroke of good fortune the accident never happens, the system will automatically ease the tension on the seatbelts.
All of this is in addition to electronic stability control, which applies the brakes to one or more wheels when it detects the vehicle is about to skid out of control; braking systems that maximize stopping forces and prevent lockup of the vented disc brakes in emergency stopping situations; and a separate sensor that deploys side airbags in a rollover accident.
And theres more.
A total of eight airbags stands ready to deploy. Two front airbags, four side airbags and two side-curtain airbags will cushion the blow from a front or side-impact collision. Traction control and optional all-wheel-drive help the driver to maintain control in ice and snow .Active front head restraints automatically reposition themselves to protect the head in rear-end collisions. Special construction techniques increase impact resistance and channel crash forces away from the occupants.
Parktronic, an optional series of sensors in the front and rear bumpers, provides light displays and audible signals to warn a driver of obstacles around the vehicle that are out of the range of vision.
When a collision does occur and the seat-belt tensioners and/or air bags deploy, the Mercedes-Benz Tele Aid system automatically calls 9-1-1 to tell emergency personnel the vehicles location, plus its model and color.
How about exquisite?Most Mercedes-Benz automobiles have an understated elegance that keeps them looking fresh and desirable for generations. For 2007, the E-Class has undergone a few minor design upgrades that include a new front bumper, lower air dam, and revised grille, headlights and taillights and a standard sunroof. Inside, the sound system has been upgraded. Of course, all passengers sit on comfortable, top-quality, leather seats, surrounded by burl walnut trim. An optional sport package, which adds a bit of flair to the cars appearance, includes special 18-inch alloy wheels, a lowered suspension, dual exhaust pipes, black birds eye maple wood interior trim, and chrome surrounds for the white-gauged instrument panel.
Finally, how about extravagance?Despite all its well deserved superlatives, the E550 sedan in the final analysis, is a vehicle for those with substantial disposable income. Base price of the car I drove is ,000. Add the premium and sports packages, plus a panoramic sunroof, and the total comes to ,815, not including taxes. There are a lot of transportation options that are safe, competent, practical, reliable, fun and a whole lot cheaper. But none of them has the cachet that comes with a Mercedes-Benz, and that makes the extravagance worth every cent to those who can afford one.

Utah Centennial 1896-1996 - A Photo Exhibit
Part 1: Celebrations of Statehood
Marriott Library
University of Utah
The following photos are taken from various collections in Marriott Library's photo archives.
When Utah became the 45th state on January 4, 1896, it was the culmination of almost half a century of effort by Utah statesmen and citizens. Accordingly, the state celebrated with parades, speeches, bells, choir performances, and other ceremonies. Many public, private, and religious buildings were decorated with bunting and flags, and many citizens showed their public spirit fervor by dressing in patriotic costumes and attending rallies and dances.
The Salt Lake LDS Temple draped with the enormous
45-star flag that had hung in the LDS Tabernacle during
Statehood Day ceremonies. This photograph was taken in
1897, when the flag was moved to the Temple for the 50th
anniversary of the coming of the Mormon pioneers.

Part 2: Daily Life in Utah (ca. 1896)
As Utah historian Dale Morgan noted, "men live rich and quiet lives outside the boiling currents of their times." In many parts of Utah, life had to go on the same as it had on January 3, 1896, and as it would on January 5th. Children had to attend school, railroads had to run, chores had to be done, business had to be conducted. This portion of the exhibit depicts daily life in Utah around the same time as the statehood celebrations.

(Washington, D.C.) – Senators Max Baucus (D-Mont.), Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), Jon Tester (D-Mont.) and Tim Johnson (D-S.D.) are urging Senate Leadership to take quick action on their bill to extend agriculture disaster assistance programs for farmers and ranchers devastated by drought and wildfires this year.
"America's farmers and ranchers get dirt under their nails every day to put food on our tables, and they deserve to know we stand behind them when disaster strikes," Baucus said. "Drought and fires don't wait for Congress to act, so our farmers and ranchers, and the American jobs they support, need us to move quickly."
"America's agriculture producers deliver the greatest, most affordable food supply the world has ever known. When Mother Nature strikes, we need to be able to help limit the scope of the damage," Conrad said. "That means when confronted with raging fires, epic drought, or hundred year floods, our producers need to know that there is a safety net in place to minimize the impact of disaster and help ensure our family farmers will not be put out of business by events far beyond their control. Our disaster programs deliver just that support."
"Montana farmers and ranchers whose jobs and lives are being affected by devastating drought and fires can't wait on the House of Representatives to pass the Senate's farm bill to get help," Tester said. "That's why we have to pass this new bill to quickly direct resources to these counties and get Montana producers the assistance they need."
"We continue to see inaction on the part of House leadership to bring a farm bill up for consideration. Given this uncertainty, I hope the Senate will again take the lead and bring this disaster assistance bill to the floor as soon as possible so that our producers can have access to the assistance they need," Johnson said.
Complete text of the Senators' letter to Senate majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is available HERE.
- Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments (SURE) program, which provides supplemental economic assistance for farmers affected by disasters.
- Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP), which compensates ranchers at a rate of 75 percent market value for livestock death losses caused by disasters.
- Livestock Forage Program (LFP), which assists ranchers who graze livestock on qualifying drought- or fire-affected pasture land.
- Emergency Livestock Assistance Program (ELAP), which compensates producers for disaster losses not covered under other disaster programs.
- Tree Assistance Program (TAP), which helps farmers who have suffered damage to perennial trees, bushes and vines that produce fruits and vegetables
State and county-level data is available HERE (click on 'Payments by State for the 5 Disaster Programs' at the bottom of the page).
These programs expired at the end of the 2011 fiscal year, leaving a gap in coverage for 2012. The Senator's one-year extension would provide certainty for American producers while Congress works to pass longer-term disaster coverage in the next Farm Bill. The Senate Farm Bill passed June 21, 2012. The Farm Bill is now awaiting action in the House.

The next generation of workinstructions
Two years ago, was the first time I came in contact with Volvo IT and the Tech Watch & Business Innovation department. It was the start of a one year master thesis and we left the meeting with one question to answer: How can we create paperless assembly factories. The task seemed simple at first; simply display the work instructions in a digital form. Half a year of academic research proved the task was much more complex than that.
In future assembly systems extreme flexibility will be needed in order to handle the rapid changes in customer demand and mass-customization. Thereby the amount of information surrounding the assembly personnel is vast. This information flow requires the attention to be at a maximum at every moment in order not to compromise the quality.
When trying to push new information to the operators we need to make sure only to focus on the most important information and let all other information be within reach. Information is quickly ignored if repeated and irrelevant.
This research led to a prototype called iMont, where we used an iPhone to display information to the assembly operator. A consumer product like the iPhone has the advantage of mobility, intuitive user interface and social acceptance from the users (Using consumer gadgets Vs Industrial specific equipment). By using a mobile device to unify information we can avoid ambiguity in the information and use attention triggers such as the vibrator to alert important information.
Advantages of mobile information services:
- Always available and allows for easy communication
- Allows for late changes in production
- Can be personalized to suit different levels of experience
- Provides new capabilities for visualizing instructions
- Multi-modal attention triggers can prevent common errors
IT solutions are not always positively experienced by the production personnel. In this case however, we included a test group from the assembly line that where involved in several steps of the development of the prototype. This way of working proved positive as all users that tested the application wanted to see the application realized.
Other mobility prototypes that I have been involved in:
- Connected Mechanic – Mobile work instructions for mechanics
- Service By Voice – Voice enabled applications on smartphones for technicians in the workshop
At the moment I am working on a commuter gamification that will help in "Keepin' the world cool", this prototype was awarded best prototype at http://www.travelhack.se/ earlier this month. More information about this project at http://www.greenbits.se/.

Plate Lickers Supper Club
A new local secret
A top secret location. Intriguing emails providing hints and snippets about the upcoming food menu. Anonymous, faceless photos of beautifully laid tables. And one fantastic name. The anticipation prior to attending my first Plate Lickers Supper Club was almost as good as the evening itself. Almost.
The Plate Lickers Supper Club held its second meeting this weekend, attracting 30 local diners looking for some good, home-cooked food and something different to do on a Friday night. Spreading the event date by word of mouth, social networks and local media, the clandestine club announced the Middle Eastern inspired, 5-course meal, with an email address for RSVPs. Instantly intrigued, I found an available foodie friend and signed up immediately.
After much speculation about dishes to expect and even more deliberation over BYO wine choices, we arrived at the secret city centre venue (which shall remain a well-guarded secret) and scoured the menu; painstakingly prepared and sourced by the food loving hosts and featuring interesting combinations of Middle Eastern inspired ingredients. The menu was a lively mix of influences and tastes - from the alarmingly good Houmous and Aubergine Dips, served with delicious, rustic flatbread and crudités, to the unexpected Pork Belly main course, which you definitely wouldn't usually see on a Middle Eastern menu but worked perfectly with the accompaniments of cous cous salad and a fantastic green bean, hazelnut and orange salad.
The magic of the covert operation continued to unfold as we took in our surroundings. Guests were greeted by a delightful sight of candle-lit tables, covered with brown paper, fresh flowers in simple glass jugs, and pretty place settings of candy-striped cloth napkins and floral china. The friendly reception from hostesses Jo and Ivana was very welcome after a long week at work, as were the refreshing and attractive pink Pomegranate and Vodka Cocktails which we sipped whilst meeting fellow guests and tucking into the homemade dips and flatbreads. The atmosphere at the supper club was relaxed and friendly; aimed at anyone interested in good food and easy conversation. People attended alone, in couples, groups of friends, or, like me, to indulge an obsession with all things foodie.
With so many lovely little finishing touches (our hostesses had really thought of everything) and a table full of dinner companions to get to know, we'd decided that the suggested donation of £30 was well worth it before we'd even tucked into our main courses.
The menu kicked off with a chilled, Mediterranean-style Gazpacho soup, fully flavoured with garlic, hints of pesto, bright green in colour, and served in adorable mismatching tea cups. This whetted our appetites for the substantial main course of a good, meaty hunk of the Pork Belly, served with fresh, fruity salads, garnished with nuts and an amazing gooseberry, ginger and elderflower relish. For me, the relish held the roasted, salty pork and the sweet, juicy salads together. I was even more delighted by it when Jo told me the gooseberries were picked from her mum's garden and lovingly made into a dozen jars of the jam-like relish.
The menu ended on a high, with a palate cleansing mint tea and orange blossom sorbet followed by the impressive nut stuffed baked peaches. The highlight of the meal for me, the dessert was expertly cooked, not too sweet, piled high with gorgeous, sticky clusters of roasted nuts, and accompanied by a perfect, moist square of almond and polenta cake to soak up the fragrant cinnamon syrup.
As the evening drew to a close, we savoured the last few mouthfuls of the feast, drained the last sips of wine from our glasses, marvelled at the smooth and effortless hosting and service, and then we were outside on the rain-soaked streets feeling as if the whole experience had been a dream and eagerly awaiting the next one.
To find out about the next event, follow twitter #platelickers or keep on eye on Jo and Ivana's blogs.

CD/LP/Track Review
Nils Henrik Asheim: 16 Pieces For Organ (2002)
Keeping in line with modern music's omnipresent renaissance spirit, Norwegian composer/keyboardist Nils Henrik Asheim renders sixteen freely improvised pieces on a church organ. Beautifully recorded at "Oslo Cathedral," the classically trained artist transforms the sonorous qualities of a pipe organ into a series of loosely based motifs. Some might consider such an endeavor as being impractical or eccentric, yet lo and behold, Asheim pulls it off without any hitches or distorted viewpoints. He excels when exploring the inherent sonic characteristics of the organ, while also utilizing latitude to great effect. The artist melds gothic overtones, with free jazz like single note runs across the keyboard. Moreover, he melds more than a few inconspicuous surprises with sinuous passages and daintily constructed choruses. Essentially, Asheim's brainchild contains trancelike aspects, yet this is not to suggest that his thematic inventions tend to be diminutive or superfluous. His game plan consists of lucid imagery in concert with abstract tendencies that offers a disparate glimpse of the temporal possessions of the church. Recommended...
Track Listing: Pieces 1-16
Personnel: Nils Henrik Asheim: church organ
Record Label: SOFA
Style: Modern Jazz

There's actually a real-life drug called Librium that is a tranquilizer and a sedative. When they made the movie Equilibrium (which takes place in a high-tech, future dystopia), they were also going to name their civilization-stabilizing drug Librium, but had to rename it Equilibrium because there's already a drug that does that. This stuff sounds a lot like Soma in Brave New World, too, right down to it being sprayed on rioters to calm them down.

Ah, sorry. I should research stuff before thinking I know what I'm talking about.
Can Lybrium dull psychic abilities? I can imagine psychics freaking out about Lybrium canisters being shot through the windows by special forces.
Lybrium might also have some uses in the religious sphere, too, since religion seems to work just fine until dissatisfaction crops up.
And what kind of cultural connotation does it hold? Is a symbol of government repression (like tear gas)?

Flowers bloom for only one reason: to get pollinated. This is a job that moths (and bats!) can do just as well as bees. Night blooming flowers are usually pale-colored or white so that their pollinators can see it easy. They are usually more fragrant, too, for the same reason.

Well, sorry you didn't like it. But I don't think it's so much of a stretch. Drug cartels in Mexico already combine death-worship (sorta), parties, and contract killing.
Actually, I think a lot of this is based on Mexican cartels, now that I reread it. Vast quantities of cocaine and ammunition pass pass through their hands. Google "Mexican mass grave" if you want some idea of the scope of their activities. They never seem to have any trouble combined drugs and murder.
And there is a long history of combining drugs and assassins, at least in the public mind.
Actually, when I read fantasy, a common criticism I have is that organizations seem too one-dimensional. There has never been a "Thieves' Guild" in all of human history, but there have been more complex analogues associated with other stuf. Real world organizations are multifaceted and complex. Hamas does terrorism, but they also run soup kitchens, make music videos, and run for public office. The Yakuza deal with everything from gambling to prostitution, and yet they also pay taxes and display their tattoos openly in parades. Don't forget that they Yakuza has a tremendous number of rituals and secret symbols. During the 1995 earthquake, they used their helicopter to provide disaster relief--and they acted faster than the authorities.
Real life is weird, and the bigger a fringe organization is, the more diverse it is likely to be.

There's some good ideas in here (bed leg, some books are hidden, bed + chamberpot in the library), but it is generally unusable to me.
This would be great for GURPS, though, and fits that system's strict reductionist methodology like a cowboy hat on a cowboy.

8) Chester
Chester is an idiot. You'll find him running around with red skin and horns, with a pointy tail and pitchfork. He's also a megalomaniac, and is prone to telling people that he is The Devil. He's also fond of challenging people to games of checkers, violin-playing contests, and riddle-offs. You know, something that only a giggling inbred would enjoy.
All of the other devils hate Chester. He makes them look bad. No one knows who made him or why. Chester is completely incompetent and takes no precautions concerning visibility. Whenever another demon runs into him, they usually kick his ass and drag him back to hell with them. The other devils don't know who created Chester, or they'd kick his/her ass, too.
Yes, there's a certain sort of sweaty exuberance to Chester. A sort of childish desperation in the way he flails on his gold fiddle, or the way he bites his lips when he is losing a game of Monopoly. If he doesn't annoy you, he's sort of likable, I guess. There's a certain rumor going around, and it makes the other devils sick. When they hear it, they want to open their mouths and noiselessly vomit soul-stuff for days and days.
The rumor is this: Chester isn't interested in taking souls or claiming new domains for hell. All he wants to do is play games with children and hand out golden prizes, all the while performing the ol' thwarty-devil shtick.
Like I said, revolting.
You don't summon Chester. He just shows up.

10) Mu'un-Gon-Grel
Mu'un-Gon-Grel is a dark one. One of the blackest hearts you'll find. If you cut her in half you'd find nothing but toothy darkness inside. She's ancient, almost as ancient as Horoc. She remembers the bad old days, when life was all bloody hunts and wailing prayer. When man huddled for the campfires, pissing themselves with fear as they looked out at the darkness. Back when they'd beg the devils for a chance to give their soul, trying to trade it away for a few hot meals or just a good night's sleep. She's refused to change her name or her attitude. She doesn't want to modernize. She carries with her all the uncompromising expectations of the Bronze Age.
Mu'un-Gon-Grel is who you summon when you want to kill your parents.
Or anyone with authority over you, really. But she specializes in parents. You can try to get her to kill your CEO or the president or something, but most of the rich and powerful people are either either protected against the powers of Hell or pawns of the same.
You summon her with a cat. But you gotta feed this cat 9 rats. And each of those 9 rats have got to have eaten 9 spiders. And each of those spiders has got to have eaten 9 fies. If any of them eat anything except the 9 things, you gotta start that animal all over again.
So you take this cat and you crush it to death. The time-tested method is two pieces of plywood with the cat between them, while you pile cinder blocks on top. That's the modern method. If you summoned her the old way, you might get on her good side.
Nah. She doesn't have a good side. Still addressing her in Sanskrit couldn't hurt. She used a to write a little in Sanskrit, back when it was in vogue. Before she decided to dedicate herself to her work.
After the cat is dead the plywood will crack in half and rise up. The cinder blocks will slide off. And Mu'un-Gon-Grel will rise up in the center of all that.
She's tall like a gallows. All of her bones are broken the same way the cat's were. Her limbs move all fluidly, and you can hear the bones grinding in there. Her the bones in her shattered hands are like a bag of dice. There's blood all down her chin, like she just finished eating a big plate of ribs. And I don't mean from a steakhouse. Her eyes are yellow and staring. Her ears are torn and ragged. Her hair is huge and malevolent. It writhes like a den of snakes mating in slow motion. Her feet and ankles are scorched from the ancient pyres.
She'll kill your parents for you, yes. You don't even need to ask. Of course, she can make it look like an accident. Yes, they're horrible people who don't love you. You'll be much happier as an orphan. Just sign here, on this parchment. No, it's not really parchment. Try not to pay too much attention to what it really is.
The price is your time. Exactly 729 days of it. Don't worry, she'll borrow your body when you aren't using it. She might take the 729 days all at once. You might wake up two years later in a place you don't recognize, with people calling you a name that isn't yours. These people might be police, asking you why you committed the murders. They might be drug dealers, asking what the hell happened to the stash. They might be confused people in the wrong church, asking you why you stopped mid-sermon. I hope you have answers for those people.
But more likely, she'll just dribble the 729 days, one at a time across your whole life. She might take them while you're sleeping, just for a few hours. That's about four times a month for the rest of your life. You'll wake up in the morning with the corpse of the neighbor's dog in your bathtub. Mu'un-Gon-Grel has always used murder as a fallback when she can't find a more malicious use for you.
Of course, if you ever want to hunt Mu'un-Gon-Grel (and many have tried) you'll have to contend with the sleepwalkers she sends your way. Blank-faced men and women from all walks of life, breaking through your window and sending sloppy bullets your way. You'd think they'd never fired a gun before. They don't make a noise, though, not from the broken glass nor the bullets you put in their chests.

I'm digging Ngama Ngama. She's sort of a meta-demon, which is cool. Maybe I'll write a meta-demon next.
Ngama Ngama is definitely an African name, too, which implies an interesting story without telling it. Was she promoted from Africa duty to the New World? Or demoted? It must have been in the Aztecs heyday. Maybe she was hell's ambassador, to teach them all the different summons they would need when they were desperate. And when Cortez came a knocking, you got a lot of desperate Aztecs.
The fact that Hell reassigned an African devil instead of creating one perfectly suited to the job also speaks volumes.

11) James
He has many names. He usually picks whatever name he thinks will be most appealing to you. Sometimes that name is James.
You don't summon James. He appears to his enemies. Devil-hunters, clergy, and those who are thinking about thinking about betraying Hell.
He appears as whatever type of person he thinks is most soothing or trustworthy. Maybe a bearded old professor type, with ruddy cheeks and laugh lines around the mouth. Kind eyes twinkle above a faded sweater. He might have a warm laugh and smell faintly of cinnamon.
He will approach you in a public space and start a conversation. Something innocuous. After a minute, he might introduce the subject of devils. Probably to your surprise.
James is an apologist. He makes no attempt to disguise the facts. Yes, he knows you are hunting devils. He knows this because he is one of the devils you are hunting. He's here to talk, if you're willing to listen.
If you're in a restaurant, he'll apologize and say he lost his wallet. Could you buy him a cup of coffee? This creates the illusion of normalcy and weakness, as well as the small social contract of indebtedness. If you refuse, he'll just order a glass of water, but only after he confirms with the waitress that there is no charge.
He might cough a few times. Just to be clear that you are not dealing with any sort of soul-sucking, skull-crushing hellspawn. He'll apologize about that, too.
And then James will ask you questions. How much do you know about hell? Do you know about the ancient contracts Hell has with this world? Do you know what humanity would stand to lose if all devilry were wiped from the world with a single blow? Do you know how many times Hell has saved the Earth from oblivion? Hell depends on Earth just as much as the opposite is true.
The Devils don't give humans anything the humans don't ask for. It's a lot of effort to learn the summons, and a lot of conviction to actually perform some of them. The little girl that had her parents killed? She always had that power. She knew where her dad's gun was kept. Hell didn't drive her to that. All Hell does is facilitate human nature. If you want to eliminate evil, look next door, not under your feet.
James can tell if you are being swayed by his arguments, or if you are resistant to the idea completely. He might visit again, if he feels that your might be more receptive next time.
If you attack him, he'll bleed and appear to die as easily as a normal human. This of course, is completely false. Only with the most drastic of measures can you see the small, nebulous thing that slips away after the false body falls to the ground.
It's tough to estimate what sort of demon James is, simply because you never see more than a friendly face and a corpse, but just think of this: He has survived countless encounters with people who would destroy a demon in an instant if they could. Some of these people have destroyed many demons, and many of them have dedicated themselves entirely to that purpose. What sort of power or subtlety must he possess to elude these deadly foes so completely?
These are the same questions that other demons ask themselves. James scares the shit out them.

It's a food battlefield out there. Everyone wants something added or wants something left out. Organic is either too big or too small or, some days (very few and far between) just right. Industrial interests battle organized grass roots and vice versa. It's loud and unseemly and there is a manure-load of money polluting legislation. We need more voices fighting for clean, healthy food. We need more organic acreage. Here is a little survey of recent "food thought" for your consideration:
"Organic Food Purists Worry about Big Companies' Influence – Has 'Organic Been Oversized?" – Stephanie Strom, New York Times
"U.S. Pig And Cattle Producers Trying To Crush Egg Bill" – Dan Charles, NPR Food Blog
"Rebel with a Cause: Why I Oppose Government GMO Labeling" – Joel Salatin, Flavor Magazine
Countryside Organics is a "small" organics company. We don't use any carageenan or docosahexaenoic acid algae oil. And we are proud and happy (relieved) that our Certified Organic labels means that our products are GMO free. Certified Organic means non-GMO. One of the many benefits. Easy to read and understand. No-GMO. No pesticides. No herbicides. From soils that have been IMPROVED, not decimated with poisons or starved by conventional farming. Help us spread the goodness of organics.

Lessons are designed specifically to suit your needs, tailor-made for each person, so you learn what YOU want to, be that conversation, reading or listening comprehension, grammar / the structure of the language, cultural insights, translation skills, discussion of French / German literary works, films, current affairs, etc. Before and during the first introductory lesson, we will establish your level of prior knowledge (if any), preferred style of learning, and what you want to achieve, whether that is an A grade at A Level, French or German for holidays or business, or brushing up your existing skills. The time and length of lessons are arranged to suit you. I believe that accuracy and accent are extremely important, but bear in mind that you learn by making mistakes so just have the confidence to have a go, and you will gain so much! Click here for contact details and prices.
If you choose the online learning option, how does online teaching work?
It is just like being in a room for a one-to-one teaching session in person but via a computer. All you need is a computer and a webcam. The teacher and student can see and hear each other. I generally use Skype or Windows Live Messenger, thus I can instantly send a student the spelling or phonetic pronunciation of phrases (etc) as we talk. Classes can also be recorded to listen to again if necessary. Skype and Windows Live Messenger are both quick, easy and free to install and use. Worksheets can be emailed to you before, during and after lessons. If you wish, homework can be emailed to you to be completed, then I will mark it and provide detailed feedback. The great advantage of online learning is that you can learn in the comfort of your own home, cutting down on travel time if you are busy, or making learning accessible if you have mobility problems or are housebound for any reason.
Preparing students for GCSE, AS Level and A level exams is a speciality, as is adult education, especially for those who had a negative experience of learning foreign languages at school. I have extensive experience in both of these areas. I have also designed a course for Primary School teachers who now have to have a bilingual classroom, so they can learn basic classroom commands, songs and games in French / German to adhere to syllabus requirements. In addition, I have a great deal of experience teaching people with illnesses and disabilities and am used to catering for their learning needs.
Why learn a foreign language?
Being able to speak and understand a foreign language is a Life Skill we should all possess. Not only does it make one more employable and open up educational possibilities, but on a personal level it leads to a whole new world of opportunity. Being able to communicate in the native language of the country you are visiting makes you a more welcome guest, makes it easier to meet people and make new friends, learn about the countrys culture, and generally have a more fulfilling travel and life experience.
Translation services, involving any combination of French, German and English. Translation clients include British people who own holiday homes abroad, property developers, lawyers, acupuncturists, and a sculptor. I take great pride in my accurate, quality translations, both technical and non-technical. I offer an efficient and personal service, and competitive rates.
Learn with a friend! Group lessons for 2-3 people can be arranged, provided that all students have the same level of language skills, and are taught in person.
Corporate training - let Languages For Living come to your place of work and put on foreign language sessions for your staff!

Marlon Brando dropped this battered address book on the stage of New York's Barrymore Theatre while appearing in "A Streetcar Named Desire" in 1949.
The loss of the book must have been significant to the young actor. Brando scrawled on the flyleaf: "On bended knee I beg you to return this. I lost eight others already and if I lose this I'll just drop dead!" Underneath this plea, he wrote an address - "47 W. 47th N.Y.C." - which he then crossed out and updated with "37 W. 52."
Sadly for latter-day snoops, Brando mostly stuck to first names in recording his contacts ("Janice," "Sandra," "Kay"). Notables listed by both first and last name include Ellen Adler (famed acting teacher Stella's daughter and Brando's sometime girlfriend) and "Jimmy Baldwin" (the writer James Baldwin, who was Brando's longtime friend).
The play's production manager, Robert Downing, picked the book up off the stage and - for reasons lost to history - kept it, despite Brando's desperate note. The book ended up at the University of Texas at Austin's Harry Ransom Center with the rest of Downing's papers.
Thanks to Helen Baer and Jennifer Tisdale of the Harry Ransom Center.

New York Picks a June Date For a Parade for Gulf Troops
Mayor David N. Dinkins announced yesterday that the city would hold a $3 million welcome-home celebration for Persian Gulf troops in early June, including fireworks and a parade up Broadway from Wall Street that he said would be "the world's largest. " Mr. Dinkins said Gen. Colin L. Powell, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, commander of allied forces in the gulf, had accepted invitations to the June 10 parade. The Mayor and the 21-member committee he formed to organize the celebration have invited President Bush, Defense...

NEIGHBORHOOD REPORT: GREENWICH VILLAGE; The Parade: Too, too? Or Too Much?
Twenty-two years ago, Ralph Lee, a mask designer from the far West Village, stepped onto Bank Street with a few dozen costumed friends and set off on a Halloween procession that wended its way to Washington Square Park. Little did he know that his homespun theatrical event would mushroom into one of the city's largest public celebrations, a world-renowned, televised parade that is expected to draw up to 1.2 million people to Greenwich Village on Tuesday night. But the Village has become a reluctant host to its Halloween hallmark, and many...

HONORING THE CHAMPIONS: TUNNEL VISIONS; Trapped In Subway, Missing The Parade
The triumphal parade was underway. Helicopters were hovering. Paper was pouring from the skies. And there was Yusra Awawdeh, standing practically in the middle of Broadway. There was this little problem, though: She was at Broadway and Canal Street. And the only reason she was standing in the middle of Broadway was that she was below it. Underground. In the N and R subway station. And try as she did, there seemed to be no way to get up into the light anywhere near the parade.

They're New York Giants, and the City Should Pay for the Parade
To the Editor: This has been a great year for sports fans in the metropolitan area who have cheered their winning baseball and football teams. The euphoria of success, however, has been marred by Mayor Koch's insensitivity to millions of New York Giants fans in New York City, as evidenced by his stubborn resistance to a city-sponsored, and funded, ticker-tape parade similar to the extravaganza thrown for the Boys of October. The Mayor is out of bounds when he calls the Giants a foreign team, and he certainly doesn't score as a spokesman for New York fans who...

Rudolph W. Giuliani and Ruth W.

In a day rich with ethnic and geographic symbolism for the mayoral contenders, first Ms. Messinger, the Democratic candidate, followed a half-hour later by the Republican Mayor, marched 20 blocks down 18th Avenue, which is also known as...

Churches' Palm Sunday Parade Saved By an Appropriately Named Stand-In
The scene was the South Bronx, but the story line yesterday morning was positively 42nd Street. A big performance about to begin. An expectant crowd. A star who could not take the stage. You can guess what happened next: a khaki-colored mule named Sunday stepped in, on nimble hooves, and saved the day. In a vibrant, jazzy, rollicking Palm Sunday parade through the Morrisania section of the Bronx, a homely beast of burden became the lead. For the second consecutive year, congregants from cathedrals and storefront churches of the South Bronx...

WORLD CHAMPS: THE PARADE; An Adoring City Turns Out To Honor Its Yankee Victors
In what is becoming an autumn habit, New Yorkers turned out yesterday at their rapturous loudest and paid obeisance to the conquering Yankees in a rollicking ticker-tape parade up the Canyon of Heroes along lower Broadway. Retracing a path shimmering with the ghosts of Ruth and Mantle and Gehrig, the pinstriped World Series champions, astride blue and white floats, were coated with a paper snowstorm by thick crowds of euphoric fans as they crept along a one-mile route from Battery Park to Chambers Street.

Ambiguity contributed to the wonder of this 70-minute work, created and directed by Mr. Genty and Mary Underwood and choreographed by Ms. Underwood. Yet the relentless parade of odd effects sometimes made this attraction of the Henson International Festival of Puppet Theater seem unduly gimmicky. Mr. Genty, a French mixed-media artist, demonstrated that he was capable of...

BASEBALL; Champion Reds Throw a Party; Even Rain Can't Stop Parade
In a town where opening day turned into a festive cottage industry long ago, the Cincinnati Reds don't usually require any more reason than a first pitch to throw the biggest coming-out party in major-league baseball. But with memories of last season's world championship still fresh, the town had an additional source of inspiration. And the team, basking in the glow of the pre-game celebration, showed its appreciation by defeating a young Houston Astros team, 6-2, with displays that could have been culled from the 1990 highlight film.

It's Our Own Genes We Should Worry About; Parade of 'Causes'
To the Editor: Oh no, not another earnest-faced scientist trying to explain to us what "causes" homosexuality. This time it's the genes (front page, July 16). As a card-carrying homosexual who has witnessed an endless array of such "causes" paraded before the public over the years, I am always left with the same question: Why don't these scientists show the same eagerness in researching the causes of homophobia?

If so, more people squeezed onto 16 blocks along Broadway than live in Leningrad or Milan or eight Bostons. Toss in the marchers and you have Denmark. Or almost a Nyack on every block. Where did that 4.7 million figure come from? "It's based on reports from commanders in the field, the temporary district commanders along the route," said Capt.

She was more aware of us as a nature center than a museum and called about doing the parade here. " While the parade was the impetus, when the museum saw her collection, it was immediately recognized as a contemporary art expression.

LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — The side of an ambulance was ripped open when it was struck by a flatbed truck while transporting a patient in Lafayette.
Police say the crash involving the ambulance owned by the private Keeney Ambulance and Transport Service happened Thursday evening when the approaching truck veered across a street's center line.
City police officer Will Carpenter tells the Journal & Courier (http://on.jconline.com/rAqoWi ) that no one in the ambulance was badly hurt. The crash peeled back the metal on the rear driver's side of the ambulance and left insulation and other debris strew for several hundred feet along the road.
Police cited the truck's 18-year-old driver for driving left of center.

I'm sure you'll find it as hard to believe as I, but Enzo turned SIX MONTHS OLD on Sunday. My little puppy is growing up so quickly. In just one months time crazy things have happened. My house has turned into a circus.
Okay, I'll admit, when someone sent me a photo of house breaking potty spray I climbed on my sassy horse, smug as hell. My puppy didn't need that. From day one he's been well-behaved and has only pottied on his faux grass. My how the mighty fall.
Enzo has gone from a well potty trained puppy to a playroom escaping pee-pee king alpha male. And he's tried to take on my favorite Vince sweater as his new girlfriend humping partner. Needless to say, we've had our hands full. Luckily for you, I was able to obtain video evidence of the three-ring insanity unfolding in the living room.
You're probably thinking I staged this and he's on invincible wires, but nope. That's all him. Baby climbs gates like they are rock walls. We either have the most gifted puppy ever or are doomed. Stay tuned…

Home > Business Articles > Current Design Trends on the Web
Design is an extremely important exercise in taking your brand to market.
The design of your web site will dictate how people respect not only youronline presence, but your business itself. There are a few trends in web design one should consider when designingor re-designing a website. As with all trends they are something to be mindful of and not universally embraced without careful analysis.
Sites that portray an elegant, yet simplistic sense of layout tend to be more successful than other sites which try to be all things to all people. Simplicity can be achieved with several methods:
A flowing unconstrained use of space increases the likelihood that the contenton your site will be easily read.
Dividing your site into a grid format and examining where each element sits can provide helpful insight for proper content flow & structure.
Often overlooked, the way one utilizes typography style, size, and color can be the most important characteristic of your site design. Focus on legibility first, then move onto relative sizes, color schema, and refine from there.
This is more of a movement in technology, which has influenced web design.Your users' time is quite valuable to them. On a first visit to a website you have precious little time to tell your story, especially when you are attempting to garner new customers and or clients. This is where the speed and power CSS comes in. When used properly CSS can render tables, control typography, and enable a site to be displayed in a lightening-quick fashion.
The preferred eye candy of many current sites is the glossy interfaces and buttons we have come to know and love. As with too much of a good thing, excesses can do you harm.
Back in the day (1996), gradients were frowned upon because they took longer to display especially in background of the site. Today they can be frowned upon simply due to overuse. Don't distract from your content and overall messaging by going gradient-goofy!
This is a fairly new trend, and one which should be used sparingly, and with a sense of purpose. Iconic shouting with a meaningless graphic will do a disservice to your layout. Employing badges and/or emblems should directly apply to your product or service offering. Having general badges like "Web2.0 compliant" are not meaningful and do nothing to promote your site.
By investing your time in design and taking into consideration how your viewers perceive your site you will be able to reap many benefits. If designed properly, your site will benefit from not only brand legitimacy, but an increase in business.

The Community Service Learning Project
was launched at Crescenta Valley High School over a decade ago. This project grew from the idea that education involves not only academic learning but also the development of conscience, social responsibility, a sense of community and compassion. At the heart of this program is the belief young people are resources who can make a positive difference in the world. We believe each student has a unique gift and special talent to offer to our community, and one of our most important goals is to prepare students for the responsibilities of community leadership.
The educational benefits of volunteering include:
Developing personal and social responsibility.
Promoting respect and understanding of the people and cultures in our community.
Exploring career opportunities.
Developing character and skills for successful citizenship.
The program involves two parts:
First, each student takes the social science class "Contemporary World Affairs" during their freshman year. As these students learn about current events, they will learn to relate what they are learning to our community and world. As part of the curriculum, students will be encouraged to volunteer 10 hours of community service. Once they have completed their service they will be given a community service award certificate.
The second part of the program is the Falcon 100 Hour Community Service Medallion. Students who complete over a 100 hours of volunteer service during their high school career will receive a community service medallion.
Ms. Kathy Garcia
in the Counseling Office manages the program and keeps track of each student's community service hours. Please submit Form C (record of hours) to Ms. Garcia. Forms are also available in the Counseling Office.
