That would preclude its use unless javax.el is provided. To clarify, this would be the code in our 1.2 implementation (trunk) that provides compatibility for running 1.0 tags in 1.2-level environment. The existing 1.1 and 1.0 branches would not change. The JSTL1.2 spec requires JSP2.1 which would ensure javax.el is provided. There are existing dependencies on this package in the JSTL1.2 api classes (for example, IndexedValueExpression depends on javax.el.ELContext) we are not introducing anything new. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

Family tells judge that 'murderer' should be in jail
Colleen Reid doesn't want people to tell her that the man who took the life of her 13-month-old granddaughter was a good guy or that he made a mistake.
"That mistake was deadly, and it cost the life of my only grandchild," said Reid, who is the paternal grandmother of Madison Alexa Reid.
Reid and a contingent of relatives were in Norwich Superior Court Thursday, donning hot-pink T-shirts with the words "Madison Matters" on them, for the arraignment of Michael Rios, who is accused of killing the little girl.
Madison's maternal grandparents, Lawrence and Kate Berkman, along with the child's mother, Elizabeth Reid, were also in court.
Lawrence Berkman did not mince words and called Rios a "murderer." Berkman said he was particularly outraged that Rios, who posted a $100,000 bond, is not incarcerated.
He expressed those feeling to Judge Kevin McMahon during the arraignment.
Berkman told the court that he was not seeking retribution, but rather, justice.
"He was seen driving around," Berkman said. "I will not be able to drive my granddaughter."
He said Madison's injuries were horrific and beyond explanation.
He asked McMahon to increase Rios' bond or place him under house arrest. He also asked that neither Rios nor his family have any contact with his family.
McMahon said he would not touch the bond because it was set by the Part A court, where the more serious crimes are heard, and the case was going to be transferred there.
"This is a sad case," McMahon said. "It doesn't get any worse than this. I'd ask you to bear with the system because it's going to take a while."
Rios' attorney, Christopher Morano, said his client has expressed to him his sorrow and that he feels the Reids' pain very deeply.
Morano filed a motion to preserve evidence so that it could be examined. He reminded the court that there is a presumption of innocence, and he intends to utilize the evidence to "search for the truth."
Elizabeth, Madison's mother, cried uncontrollably during the court proceeding and was comforted by her mother.
After the court proceeding, Elizabeth said she couldn't bear to look at Rios.
"Nothing is going to bring back my daughter," Elizabeth said. "I want to know the truth. I want to know what really happened."
Madison was the only grandchild on both sides of the family.
Colleen Reid said her son, Josh, was too upset and could not attend the court hearing.
"She always had a smile on her face," she said. "I can't help but think about her final hours and how scared she must have been. We want justice for her. She needs to be remembered."
According to a warrant prepared by Norwich Detective Damon R. Wallace, he received a phone call on May 2 from an investigator for the Department of Children and Families about an anonymous complaint from a nurse at The William W. Backus Hospital, who said Madison was unresponsive and had bleeding on the brain.
Rios had taken the child to Backus and told personnel that she had fallen off a bed. There were no visible injuries. Life Star helicopter flew the child to the Connecticut Children's Medical Center, the warrant said.
During the surgery, doctors at the medical center discovered a subdural hematoma, which cause her brain to swell. She died during the early morning hours on May 3. An autopsy uncovered that not only had the girl sustained a subdural hematoma but that she had a hematoma on her spinal cord, cuts in her inner lips and hemorrhaging in both optic nerves.
Rios, who said he had been dating Elizabeth Reid, was taking care of Madison on May 2 and gave police various versions of how the child was injured that day. In one version, he said Madison had fallen off the bed. In another, he said the girl became dizzy and fell into the sink while he combed her hair.
When Wallace told Rios that a medical center doctor had said his story was not consistent with the victim's injuries, "Rios sank down in his seat and covered his face with his hand," the warrant states.
"Rios stated that after the victim fell from the bed, he picked her up and 'shook her very hard' to get her to respond. ... Her breathing changed, more like a hiccup," the warrant reads.
After signing his statement to police, Rios said, "I know it's wrong to shake a baby."
Rios' next court date is scheduled for June 3.

Northern California Counties Named Healthiest for Kids
The study for America's 50 healthiest counties for kids is out, and California has several regional counties making the list.
Placer, Yolo and El Dorado counties made the top 50 list for healthiest kids.
The study published in U.S. News looks at infant mortality, teen birthrate, injury, death rate and other markers.
Placer County ranked 17th , with Yolo County placing 30th and El Dorado ranked 43rd.
Placer County's teen birthrates are less than half of the U.S. median and where just 6-percent of babies are born underweight.
Yolo County has a low-percentage of smokers and the number of low-birth-weight births is decreasing.
Sacramento County, unfortunately, did not make the top 50 in the national study, and places 30th when looking at the 58 counties in California.
Marin County ranked first in the nation.

Victoria Beckham has reportedly refused to lend out dresses from her fashion line to Cheryl Cole.
Cole is said to be planning her X Factor wardrobe with a team of top UK stylists, in a bid to win at least some of the weekly 'frock offs' she enjoys with Dannii Minogue. After seeing guest judge Nicole Scherzinger wow crowds in a range of VB gowns, the Girls Aloud singer was hoping to wear a few for the live shows this winter.
However, the team at Mrs B's label have refused to allow Cheryl to borrow the dresses, saying that any celebrities pictured in her gowns have bought them outright.
An insider told The Mirror:
"We don't loan dresses. If celebrities are photographed wearing them, they have bought them."
A source at Victoria's label said: "Celebrities often call asking to borrow a dress, but we just don't loan them out. Sometimes a stylist may have borrowed one from stores like Selfridges or Harvey Nichols. But as each dress is hand-made and crafted to perfection, Victoria doesn't have stock hanging around to lend out."
An X Factor source said yesterday: "Cheryl's team of stylists made enquiries about wearing Victoria's clothes because they are some of the most stylish around, but they were politely told, 'No way'."
She is now looking at ranges by top designers Matthew Williamson, Roberto Cavalli, Vivienne Westwood and Chaneland also cool newcomers such as Hannah Marshall. The source added:
"Cheryl would also like to include some of the young, up-and-coming designers from fashion schools."
We would have thought, if Chez is desperate enough for a Beckham dress, she would dig into those deep pockets and shell out £2,000 for one of her own. It's not like she's on the bread line after all!

Understanding A Woman's Deepest Need (3 of 3) by Kerry Shook
This content is part of a series.Understanding A Woman's Deepest Need (3 of 3)
Series: Shark Weakness: A Marriage Survival Guide
Pastor Kerry Shook
This sermon includes the sermon outline and the full sermon transcript. Below you will see a preview of the outline and a portion of the full sermon.
"He has brought me to his banquet hall, and his banner over me is love." Song of Solomon 2:4 (NASB)
The banquet hall - where he entertained friends
• priority = tenderness
His banner over me - military banner representing strength and grandeur
• security = toughness
"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them." Genesis 1:27 (NIV)
"Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her." Ephesians 5:25 (NIV)
Well, a record number of viewers tuned into the Discovery Channel this year to watch Shark Week, and shark scientist, David Shiffman, says because of the enormous popularity of Shark Week one of the most common questions he's asked is: What do you think about Shark Week? He says the answer is complicated. At its best, Shark Week educates people about the most misunderstood creatures on our planet, and at its worst, it perpetuates fear and misunderstanding. Well, I disagree with one thing the shark scientist said. He says that sharks are the most misunderstood creatures on our planet, but I would say women are the most hard to understand, complex creatures on the planet by far. Now I know my wife would disagree with me.
We're in a series that's a biblical marriage survival guide because in the sea of selfishness that makes up our modern culture, there lurks a multitude of marriage killers. And one of the most dangerous relationship killers out there is the shark of misunderstanding. So for the next two weeks we're going to look at what the Bible says about how to understand each other and understanding a man's deepest needs and understanding a woman's deepest needs. And I thought I would start by asking some of the kids what they thought about this topic. Have you seen those ATandT commercials where the guy sits down with the kids and he asks them questions like: What's better, faster or slower? Well, I sat down with some Woodlands Church kids, and I asked them a much more difficult question. I asked them about men and women. Just watch.
Okay I've got a question for you guys. Who is more complicated, men or women?
Okay wait. Why do you say, Alexa, that men are more complicated?
Just because.
That's a pretty good answer, really. But I don't really understand it. That's very complicated.
I think it's men.
You think it's men, too? Why?
I think it's men because they don't listen, and you have to figure out what they're thinking. I mean it's just like: Can we go to eat? And then they're like: You can't figure them out.

ALSO READChina, U.S. help Pernod beat estimates, India lags Euro zone Feb retail sales rise as shoppers splurge on clothing NBCC (India) in focus after declaring Q2 result India raises market stabilisation bond issuance limit, RBI says India gas demand growth stymied by slow infrastructure development
PARIS (Reuters) - French spirits maker Pernod Ricard said on Thursday that sales growth slowed slightly in the third quarter, reflecting weakness in India and the earlier timing of the Chinese New year.
Pernod, the world's second-biggest spirits group after Britain's Diageo, kept its profit outlook unchanged and achieved some robust quarterly growth in the United States and in Europe.
Pernod Ricard posted sales of 1.987 billion euros ($2.13 billion) in the three months to March 31, up 3 percent on a like-for-like basis, compared with 4 percent growth in the second quarter.
This was, however, above the average of analysts' estimates for 1 percent growth in a company-compiled consensus.
The owner of Mumm champagne, Absolut vodka and Martell cognac kept its forecast for underlying operating profit growth of between 2 percent and 4 percent in the full year to June 30.
In India, which accounts for about 10 percent of Pernod Ricard group revenue, a government ban on high-value bank notes held back local consumption. There has also been a ban on alcohol sales near highways in India since April 1.
($1 = 0.9327 euros)

Dr Gay1 has shared some interesting points. Many of his arguments hinge on the assumption that all patients with tracheostomy and spinal cord injury (SCI) have the option of using an alternative to either mechanical ventilation or diaphragm pacing support (DPS). This alternative would be noninvasive ventilation (NIV) and aggressive airway clearance, including mechanical cough assist. In reality, those patients with SCI who do not require invasive mechanical ventilation are not even considered candidates for DPS. If even 4 h of spontaneous breathing is possible, DPS is excluded,2 and 24-h NIV when there is no use of hands is possible but may not be practical. Dr Gay1 also states that mechanical ventilation with a Passy-Muir valve (Passy-Muir Inc) provides completely normal speech, but the use of a Passy-Muir valve may not be safe in all patients because of secretions that may obstruct the valve, and speech without the valve is unnatural because it occurs mainly during inhalation. In addition, many patients have an intolerance to the added resistance of the Passy-Muir valve, and fenestrated tubes are not an adequate compensation because they may promote aggressive leak compensation, even risking respiratory alkalosis and seizure. In the best of situations, leak speech using mechanical ventilation does not produce adequate speech.3

No sooner had the jeers and catcalls emanating from St James' Park after another abject Newcastle United performance subsided than deputy chairman Douglas Hall was boasting of a huge summer spending spree.
Seeing Rivaldo's name linked with their club was the perfect Sunday morning pick-me-up for disgruntled Newcastle fans fed up of watching a team of artisans rather than artists scratching for results. In a way, Hall's promises - which he made before Newcastle failed to win a point against a Middlesbrough side down to 10 men for the entire second half - could not have been publicised at a more opportune time.
With his club's fortunes on the pitch at their lowest ebb since the dark days of Ruud Gullit, claims that a sizeable transfer war chest will be available to Bobby Robson next season will have diverted supporters' attentions from what happened on Saturday. Indeed, even as the Tyneside rumour mill was cranking into motion last night, Newcastle were edging closer to making a signing.
No, not Rivaldo, nor Luis Figo. The player earmarked by the Newcastle manager is Bradford City defender Andy O'Brien. He might be an England Under 21 international, but signing him for about £1.5million ahead of Thursday's transfer deadline is hardly a move that will send the Toon Army into raptures. Who knows, though. Whatever his abilities as a player, maybe in O'Brien Newcastle have found a player who possesses enough backbone and character to meet his commitments. Robson, who has now presided over two derby defeats at St James' Park this season, was clearly displeased.
'That's rather disappointing and I should have a word with the players about that. I have to face my responsibilities and I want them to do that on and off the pitch,' he said.
'It's not easy to talk when you've lost but I don't think everybody in the team should flunk it.' For Boro, the future suddenly looks bright, with a win that hauls them four points above the relegation zone. Gianluca Festa and Steve Vickers won nigh-on every header there was to win; Paul Ince ran himself into the St James' Park mud and in Alen Boksic the visitors had a striker who showed more enterprise than all the others on the pitch put together. The victory was achieved without new signing Dean Windass, who hurt his back putting his kit bag into his car boot just before the game. Windass said: 'I tried to convince myself it was nothing, but the physio felt my back and I screamed.' Boksic scored twice in the first half, but the sending off of Phil Stamp on the cusp of half-time precipitated a Newcastle fightback. Carl Cort's volley was all they had to show for their endeavour, however, and when Nolberto Solano hit the bar with an 85th-minute penalty, it summed things up.Reuse content

Aizawl, Nov 13 (UNI) With the rejection of one nomination paper, 208 candidates, including their dummies, are left in the fray to contest the December two Mizoram Assembly election.
The final figure will, however, emerge after the last date of withdrawal on November 15.
In the scrutiny, which took place today, all the nomination papers barring that of the UDA dummy for Chalfilh constituency were found valid by the Returning Officers.
As of now, eleven candidates for two seats in Saiha district, 16 candidates for three seats in Lawngtlai district, 31 candidates for seven seats in Lunglei district, 14 candidates for three seats in Serchhip district, 24 candidates for five seats in Champhai district, 18 candidates for three seats in Kolasib district, 22 candidates for three seats in Mamit district and 72 candidates for 14 seats in Aizawl district are in the fray.
Mamit constituency has the largest number of 11 candidates, followed by Chalfilh and Aizawl East-I having seven candidates each.
While 13 constituencies have six candidates, ten constituencies are to witness five-cornered contest. There will also be four-cornered contest in 13 constituencies.
Lunglei West constituency has the smallest number of only three candidates.
Meanwhile, the Joint Chief Electoral Officer had reminded all political parties and their candidates to strictly comply with the model code of conduct issued by the Election Commission.
Talking to newspersons here, the joint CEO said this point was stressed in the state-level standing committee meeting held here yesterday under the chairmanship of CEO Lalmalsawma.

The Don Pepe Estate is located in the town of Boquete, situated on the slopes of the Barú Volcano in the humid forest of Panama. In 1898 Don Enrique Vásquez founded the town and introduced coffee growing.
Don Pepe Estate is an eco-friendly farm, 1500 meter above sea level. Coffee plantations are cultivated harmoniously between farmer and nature, in order to preserve these areas. Water is not wasted, as the pulping machines do not need water.
Due to the ecological conditions of this region, Don Pepe Estate has also been careful to assign land to preserve the primary forest. This environmental vision, gives the family its greatest source of pride.
FARM SIZE: 60 Hectares in Production: 6 Hectares Geisha, 4.5 Hectares Java, 8 Hectares Bourbon, 5 Hectares Typica, 3.5 Hectares Pacamara, 20 Hectares Catuai, 13 Hectares Caturra and the rest of the farm, approximately 20 hectares, is a primary tree forest reserve.
HARVEST: The harvest starts late November until mid-April and coffee availability starts from May.
DRYING: 100% of the coffee is pre-dried in sun patio. All special coffees as geisha, java, bourbon and typica are dried on African beds.
SEASON: It starts in the month of April with a "machete" cleaning followed by a selective pruning and weeding. After the tree is pruned fertilizers are applied each month during the winter time (6-8 months). The harvest begins in late November and at its high you can see up to 300 temporary workers on the farm.

• Aeropress
• Plunger
Each brings its own unique character to the cup because they are all very different extraction methods.
Coffee to water ratio
To achieve an optimal brew we recommend a 1:15 - 1:16 ratio. Meaning that for every 1 gram of coffee 15-16ml of water is used. So for 15gm of coffee you will add 250ml of water.
Grind size
Grind size for brewing should be medium-coarse to coarse. The texture should be quite grainy, similar to cracked pepper. If you use your own grinder some small adjustments and testing will be necessary to get the perfect grind.
Water temperature
Water temperature has a noticeable impact on the coffee and should be between 94-96 degrees C, and added in 30 second intervals. Make sure you have thermometers to control temperature.
Brewing equipment specifics
When using an Aeropress, Plunger or Frieling the water should be added in two stages starting with a 40-50ml bloom then adding the remaining water. For a Chemex or V60 the water should be added in stages, pausing between each stage e.g. 50ml, followed by 100ml, followed by 50ml, and finishing with 50ml.
TIP: to achieve the best results a set of scales should be used to ensure consistency.

We serve this spinach at work with a little roasted quail or sometimes with grilled halibut with a dressing of preserved lemons spooned over the top. I can eat a big bowl of it just on its own, though!
200g/7oz young spinach leaves
40g/1 oz unsalted butter
1 finely sliced large red chilli, including seeds
A good pinch of sea salt
Wash the spinach well under cool running water, being sure to remove any grit that may be hiding there.
Place a large pot over a medium heat and, once warm, add the spinach. There is no need to add anything to the pan, as the water clinging to the leaves is enough to let the spinach wilt. Once the spinach is just soft, remove the pan from the heat and pour the spinach into a colander.
Allow to cool to room temperature. Once the spinach is cool enough, squeeze out as much water as possible – it is easiest to use your hands to do this.
Place a pan large enough to hold the spinach comfortably over a fairly low heat. Add the butter and, once it has melted, add the spinach and chopped chilli. Allow the spinach to become warm, stirring once or twice to mix in the chilli well.
Remove from the heat and season with salt (spinach likes salt, so don't be mean), then serve.

A group of 11,000 Nigerians have initiated a court case against the oil giant Shell in pursuit of tens of millions of dollars they believe they are owed in compensation for two oil spills in 2008.
In a case that could set a precedent for big claims against Western oil companies accused of polluting poor countries, the Niger Delta's Bodo community says it is entitled to a giant payout to compensate for spills which they say destroyed their livelihoods.
Shell's Nigerian unit has admitted responsibility for the leaks that devastated the Bodo fishing community, a settlement of 49,000 people in 35 villages, through which a maze of pipelines criss-cross mangrove swamps and creeks.
But the company disagrees with the claimants about how much oil was spilled and how much compensation is due. Talks to resolve the dispute broke down last week, sparking yesterday's proceedings at the High Court in London.
Shell says the two spills totalled about 4,000 barrels of oil while the lawsuit claims the true number is around 500,000 barrels. The company added that local people were responsible for the majority of oil spilled in the area through sabotage and oil theft.
Martyn Day, of the Leigh Day & Co law firm representing the Bodo community, said his clients would be claiming "many millions of dollars" through the High Court. "They made an offer and the community quite rightly said this is ridiculously low," Mr Day said.
Mutiu Sunmonu, managing director of Shell's Nigerian unit, said: "We want speedy resolution of this dispute so we can pay fair compensation".Reuse content

text: Hi everyone, I installed Win7 64-bit, and everything works fine, except for the fact that neither WMP nor Media Center are able to play DVDs. I mean, DVD movies, of course. If I use VLC, for instance, the DVD plays perfectly. In brief, what happens is the following: I insert the DVD, an autoplay message appears, I select play with WMP (or MC for that matters), the screen turns black (you know, when you go full screen on WMP) and then.. nothing at all. I can push whatever button, it won't play. The interface is there, the DVD is there with its name, even the titles are correct. It just won't play. Anyone got any insight? Thanks in advance, sorry for my English mistakes, I'm writing from Italy. Bye, Lu'

Well that didn't take long.
So I moved from San Antonio, Texas to St. Louis, Missouri for work about 2 years ago. A little backstory, my comic book store in San Antonio was freaking awesome. It was basically a barely lit cave that happened to sell comics, toys and pen & paper stuff. The lighting for the place was because the owner of the store hated spending money on things like an electricity bill. I didn't mind because when you looked around the place, being as dark as humanly possible seemed to fit the vibe of the place pretty well. The comic selection was impressive, the toys were reasonably priced, and the D&D stuff was extensive as far as I could tell.
The best part of going there was the staff. All nerds. They loved to talk about comics and didn't mind if you came in from time to time just to talk for an hour or so. Most of the staff had tattoos of the X-Men or Batman and everyone had piercings.
Anyway, it was awesome to say the least. I went there every week to get my comics and it was glorious. They learned what I liked and left recommendations, asked about my job, all that jazz.
Then I moved.
For those that don't live in the Mid-West, let me break it down for you. Geeks are so rare up here that when someone spots us, it shows up on the local news. I lived in Minnesota for 2 years for grad school and it was challenging finding people in their mid to late twenties who wanted to go to a midnight launch for a game or movie.
True story, when I was in school, I asked my circle of friends if any of them wanted to see Iron Man that weekend (it had just premiered.) One of them looked at me and said
"What's Iron Man?"
This was said at a time when you couldn't wipe your ass without seeing an advertisement for that movie. And still people didn't know what it was. I didn't expect them to know the full origin story of the guy but they would have at least seen a commercial for this thing.
After living in Missouri for a while I can say that this phenomenon exists all over this region.
Anyway, when I moved up here I found out that a comic book store was actually walking distance from my house. I real, honest to God comic book store. It was even ranked on Google or something (I don't remember which site but only that people respected the place.)
So I walk into the store one fine Saturday afternoon and what I saw was just...depressing.
The whole place looked like an Apple Store banged a crappy comic store during a store frat party. Yeah I'm gonna let that one stick.
No table top games, barely any toys, techno playing in the background and a comic selection that was "minimalist" to be generous. It was a comic book store in which comic books represented maybe 15% of the store space. The rest were t-shirts, plush dolls and a bunch of graphic novels. They even had a space in the back that could be used for table top games but instead it was for a (I kid you not) life size Angry Birds game.
The clerks were nice enough but the whole place just had to much of a hipster vibe which I find insanely annoying. I'm almost 30 and I don't have time to hear these guys talk about which coffee shop has better wi-fi.
Not only that but like most places in the Mid-West, you have to pay for parking everywhere. I hate parking meters, I hate parking garages, I hate anything that you have to pay where everywhere else I've ever been had it for free. I've gotten more parking tickets I care to count and eventually enough is enough.
So yeah I get all my comics online now. I fear that comic stores are at some point going to go the way of arcades. Remember arcades? When $5 got you at least 2 hours of play time. Then DDR came and ruined it. Now they are remnants of a time gone by never to be seen again. Seriously, go to your mall and find a damn arcade. Ain't gonna happen. That is gonna happen to comic book stores someday and I hope it starts with the crappy one I had to go to.

With 3 driving modes and 2 gearbox choices, sport hybrid's dual identities fight each other.
Much like Sally Field in the movie "Sybil," the new Honda CR-Z hybrid sports coupe is hard to pin down.
But unlike the movie character, who suffered multiple identities, the '11 CR-Z on sale in August has only two personalities: sort-of-sporty and slow.
The 2-seat CR-Z's agile side is decidedly apparent while in Sport driving mode. This is its best and most-important persona if the car is to appeal to the younger buyer Honda is targeting, as well as older buyers who owned the CRX predecessor.
Even in Normal mode, which is the default setting, the CR-Z is somewhat peppy. But it's doggy in Econ, the third driver-selectable mode and the only obvious way to know the CR-Z is indeed a hybrid, with Honda's Integrated Motor Assist technology under the hood.
The two divergent personalities make a single lukewarm impression. With 122 hp and a nearly 2,700-lb. (1,225-kg) curb weight, just shy of the Insight's, it's not really all that athletic.
And while our testers' fuel economy was decent, in the upper 30-mpg (8-L/100 km) range, a larger, nearly-as-efficient Civic coupe can be had for about the same price, or even less.
CR-Z chief engineer Norio Tomobe says the development target was for a low, short and wide vehicle that offered a high degree of sportiness. The car's windshield is wide for good cornering visibility, and the driver sits in a low position with upright steering.
The exterior sheetmetal has visible tension, with a close-to-the-ground look.
The production CR-Z isn't as daring as the concept version unveiled at the Detroit auto show in January. But it still cuts an attractive image on the road, with its blackened pillars making the windshield look wider. The low grille, with the Honda logo on the edge of the hood, is a step in the right direction.
It almost makes us forget about the ill-proportioned Accord Crosstour.
The CR-Z's most unattractive feature is its tall and triangular-shaped rear, which — for all the talk linking it and the CRX — is most mindful of the original Honda Insight. However, the rear treatment creates huge blind spots for the driver, just as it did in the Insight.
Inside, obvious corners were cut to bring the CR-Z in under $20,000, with a rat-fur headliner, flimsy vinyl-wrapped visors, no center armrest or grab bars, and, most obviously, only two usable seats.
But the interior is redeemed with its sole color scheme: black and gray. Controls are attractively laid out and seats are well bolstered. The cargo area, which can be expanded by lowering a rear divider, is voluminous.
The CR-Z's IMA mostly carries over from the Insight. Although it has the same 13-hp (10-kW) electric motor, its engine is bigger: a 1.5L 16-valve SOHC 4-cyl. with Honda's i-VTEC variable valve timing technology.
The pairing allows for a low torque peak of 128 lb.-ft. (173 Nm) from 1,000-1,750 rpm in 6-speed manual models, while versions with a continuously variable transmission make 123 lb.-ft. (167 Nm) in the same range.
The low torque peak helps the CR-Z get out of its own way and makes the lowest gears the most exciting, at least in 6-speed-manual models. The car agreeably launches in second, and most testers took it through an autocross course in first.
However, cruising the undulating roads near San Francisco, it's hard to find the right gear. Perhaps 3.5 would have helped, as third was too low, fourth too high and fifth and sixth totally toothless for the type of terrain encountered.
Honda is betting the manual will take a big slice of CR-Z sales, 25%-30%, a larger portion than the single-digit percentage take rate most self-shifters now garner. The manual is decent. The shifter is a bit notchy, but the clutch is nicely tensioned, engaging somewhere in the middle of pedal travel.
A quick jaunt in the CR-Z with the CVT, complete with standard paddles, reveals a totally different personality for the car: the transmisssion's aggressiveness is sapped in Sport mode and acceleration even weaker in Econ and Normal driving modes. In all three modes, the engine shuts off at stop lights for varying lengths of time.
Our excessive toying with the paddles to find the most satisfying gear among the faux seven likely contributed to a piddling 29 mpg (8.1 L/100 km) average.
Sport, Normal and Econ driving modes in the manual models also offer different levels of steering feedback. But overall, the CR-Z's electric power-assisted rack and pinion steering is direct and heavy, with Sport steering even weightier.
Throttle tip-in also is varied between all three modes, with the lightest touch needed for Sport mode. In Econ, a foot to the floor is required.
The autocross course demonstrates the CR-Z's "fling-ability" factor. Even with stability control switched on, there is the right amount of body roll in tight corners. The car has a front MacPherson strut and torsion-beam rear suspension.
Likely the performance quotient was reigned in to save space for an Si version, about which Honda executives are elusive. But "sport" and "hybrid" are too distinctly different to combine into one persona.
Honda is targeting 15,000 CR-Z sales annually. This is probably too high, but it's hard to gauge the car's market appeal, especially in lieu of a new Civic due soon.
If Honda can position the Civic differently enough to give the CR-Z some breathing space, the hybrid could see mild success with buyers looking for an alternative to a 5-passenger coupe.
It also might just be quirky and cheap enough to woo the Mini Cooper or Scion tC competition Honda is targeting.

| Never before has it been easier to write and influence the world; never has it been easier for our words to crash and burn. Why does writing turn rational people into rabbits frozen in car headlights? Why doesn't grammar help us know where to start? And if we are what we write, does improving our writing change who we are? How did The Sunday Times uncover JK Rowling's secret writing identity? How did writing help to define Apple's brand? In How to Write Well - When You Don't Know Where to Start, Susan Feehan shows how we stray into obsessing over grammar and punctuation when we should focus on what we want to say, who we want to reach, and why anyone should listen. From the point of purpose to the pain of getting feedback, Feehan offers us tips galore and writing strategies that bring out the best in us.

Bobbie Preddy's mother ran out of money years ago. She's 98 years old and if she lives longer than six more months, Preddy might be out of cash, too.
Preddy's mother requires round-the-clock care, due to frequent urinary tract infections and related conditions. Together, Preddy and her mother determined the only way she could get the support and care she needed was at an assisted-living facility. But costs for even one of the cheapest facilities in the market are hundreds of dollars more than Preddy's mother can afford with her pension checks each month. Read more here.

US STOCKS-Wall St bounces back on ECB move bets, jobs data
* Minutes from latest FOMC meeting due at 1900 GMT
* J.C. Penney climbs after sales results
* December private payrolls higher than expected
* Indexes up: Dow 0.9 pct, S&P 0.9 pct, Nasdaq 0.9 pct (Updates to afternoon, changes byline)
By Caroline Valetkevitch
NEW YORK, Jan 7 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks rebounded on Wednesday from five straight sessions of losses after strong U.S. private sector jobs data and as deflation concerns in the euro zone were seen pushing the bloc's central bank into action.
Investors were waiting for minutes from the most recent meeting of the U.S. Federal Reserve policy-setting committee, due at 2:00 p.m. (1900 GMT). Traders will scan them for clues on the timing of an interest rate hike. The Fed said it would take a "patient" approach to deciding when to lift borrowing costs.
The day's gains follow five sessions of losses for the S&P 500 in its longest losing streak in 13 months.
Homebuilders were among the day's biggest gainers, with an index of housing shares up 2.8 percent, after a Bloomberg report that U.S. President Barack Obama was set to announce a reduction of Federal Housing Administration mortgage insurance premiums. Continuación...

Study objective: Vinorelbine and gemcitabine are two
active single agents used in the treatment of non-small cell lung
cancer (NSCLC). A clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy
and toxicity of vinorelbine plus gemcitabine in patients with
inoperable (stage IIIB or IV) NSCLC.
Design: A
multicenter phase II study. Vinorelbine, 20 mg/m2, was
given as a 10-min IV infusion, followed by a 30-min IV infusion of
gemcitabine, 800 mg/m2, on days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day
Patients and measurements: From March 1998 to
August 1998, 40 patients were enrolled in the study. The efficacy and
toxicity of the treatment were recorded.
Results: All
patients are evaluable for treatment response and toxicity profile. Two
patients achieved a complete response, and 27 patients achieved a
partial response, with an overall response rate of 72.5% (95%
confidence interval, 58.7 to 86.3%). Median survival time was 11
months. The significant (World Health Organization grade, 3/4)
toxicities were myelosuppression, including leukopenia (47.5% of
patients), anemia (17.5% of patients), and thrombocytopenia (12.5% of
patients). However, febrile neutropenia occurred in three patients and
accounted for one treatment-related death. Fatigue, or flu-like
syndrome, occurred in 17 patients, and the symptoms were reversed
spontaneously 1 to 2 days after injection in 10 patients. Another seven
patients needed dose reduction to ameliorate symptoms. Interstitial
pneumonitis occurred in six patients who recovered after steroid
treatment. No patient suffered from grade 3 or 4 nausea/vomiting.
Conclusion: The combination of vinorelbine and gemcitabine
in patients with advanced NSCLC is a highly active
non-cisplatin-containing regimen with an acceptable toxicity

Banks lead Japanese stocks higher as BOJ overhauls policy
(Adds BOJ governor Kuroda's comments)
By Shinichi Saoshiro and Ayai Tomisawa
TOKYO, Sept 21 (Reuters) - Japanese stocks rose nearly 2 percent on Wednesday after the Bank of Japan overhauled its monetary policy, potentially easing pressure on banks and insurers.
Investors also hoped the BOJ's revamped plan would see it buying a greater variety of exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
The benchmark Nikkei average ended up 1.9 percent, its biggest one-day percentage rise since Aug. 29, at 16,807.62 points.
The BOJ added a long-term interest rate target to its massive asset-buying programme on Wednesday, overhauling its policy framework and recommitting to reaching its 2 percent inflation target as quickly as possible.
The central bank also kept its policy rate at minus 0.1 percent amid prior speculation it might take rates further into negative territory. It will try to keep the yield curve steep by maintaining long-term rates, which had previously sank deep into the negative, around zero percent.
BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda told reporters after the policy meeting that if the yield curve is too flat, it could hurt sentiment due to worries about the financial sector.
The steps are expected to help financial institutions by not increasing the burden of negative short term rates, which has crimped banks' profits. It may also improve income from their holdings of long-term debt, much of which had burdened investors with negative yields. Continuación...

Guitar Account Internet sites And The Danger Of The Entitlement Attitude
Recently I released a guitar account internet site. This is a website where I show peopl...
The entitlement attitude. This is perhaps one of the hurdles that could carry you back from guitar learning success. Regrettably several guitarists have this mind-set. And its stealing from them any possible chance of reaching high degrees of guitar playing. So what on earth is this attitude? And what on earth does it have regarding guitar account internet sites! All is unveiled below
Recently I launched a guitar membership site. This is a site where I teach the actual process to people that I use for mastering guitar scales. I get them by the hand and show them exactly how I do it. It took hundreds to me of hours to generate and it absolutely cost many dollars to me to set up. And heres the really frightening thing
Right after the introduction I obtained an email from a person saying something such as Im not in the habit of paying to participate sites. Today thats good with me-i didnt expect everyone o-n my email list to join. To read additional information, please take a look at: click here. But lets have a closer look at this
Why does this person think he should access your guitar account website free of charge? Why does h-e expect me to hand him my hard-earned guitar degree learning methods that took many years to produce at no cost? Why does he think he is entitled to this information free of charge?
The clear answer to these questions is simple. Their the entitlement mindset! He expects something for nothing. H-e desires to get something without giving something in return. In this case a couple of dollars.
This can be a very dangerous mindset to get. In fact, if someone has the entitlement attitude it is likely that they will never develop into a guitarist who plays at a degree. Get more on rent mttb by visiting our splendid paper.
Allows now have a look at two areas where the entitlement mindsets contains guitar players straight back
1. Guitar exercise.
If your guitarist has the entitlement mind-set they be prepared to advance without putting in the necessary exercise time. They often times respect guitar virtuosos and on some level be prepared to play like their heroeswithout having to do huge amounts of exercise. Due to this unwillingness to set up the needed energy they'll NEVER play such as the people they admire.
2. Data.
The most effective musicians that I know have usually invested large amounts of money to master their art. If you think you know anything at all, you will certainly require to compare about internet marketing tips. They get CDs, DVDs, books and other sources that they think may help them learn. They may also pay good money to go to the best guitar teachers or music schools that they can afford. The musician with the entitlement mindset has an unwillingness to spend money on the best information. They try to make do with free information. I discovered remove frames by searching Google. Actually, they pay for free information using their time by spending countless hours looking for it!
At this point a musician by having an entitlement mentality can say something like why should I pay for data when its all out there for free? I react to this problem by asking this to them
Would you be ready to get heart surgery from health practitioners who'd shown themselves from free information available online, if you were dying? If the solution is nowhy wouldnt you?
OKits a little of a ridiculous example. No-one in his or her right mind would do that! It'd be considered a matter-of life and death. But
isnt your guitar development really important too? And wouldnt wrong information, written by people who arent professional guitar trainers, decrease your progress? Their worth thinking about..

whats the big flap about BB creams?
Have you tried any, and what do you think?
For me it's the idea of having sunscreen and makeup in one product. I know I have to wear sunscreen, but my face hates it, and my skin especially hates layers of product. Plus, I'm not that into makeup. Sunscreens are usually so greasy, or they sting my eyes, or cause cysts...yuck. But I live in AZ and I'm getting old. I'll fight sun damage and aging tooth and nail!
I've tried Miracle Skin Transformer (greasy, rubs off on everything), Too Faced BB Cream (greasier...makes me look like I haven't washed in a year), Garnier (absolutely a nightmare...full of alcohol and looked like a mask), and a few others. Most of them are clearly made to give skin a white cast, so they look gray and creepy on me.
But - there is one I've been using for a couple of months and I'm pleased with it. It's called Boscia BB Cream. It's super easy. I slap it on in the mornings and I don't have to worry about how I blend it or anything. I don't even have to look in the mirror when rubbing it on. It's got SPF 27, and it kind of "color matches" to my medium olive skin. It gets lighter throughout the day, though, so by evening if I don't touch up with bronzer or something I look like a mime. Aside from that, it has good coverage for covering my dark spots, and it looks as natural as a product like this can look. It shows up white in photos, but for easy, quick day-wear it's really a great product.http://www.sephora.com/productimages...main-Lhero.jpg
I don't know what the big flap is, and I have not tried any. You really couldn't pay me to use one of those pore cloggers on my very tempermental acne-prone skin. I have found that products that try to do too many tasks at once...usually fail to do any of them well.
I do not wear sunscreen or moisturizer on a daily basis. They ALL break me out. Plus, it's a big myth that the sunscreen you apply in the morning is doing anything for you in the afternoon. It just doesn't last that long. For days that I'm going to be spending a lot of time in the sun, I rely on a dedicated sunscreen that I re-apply frequently. For daily incidental protection, though, I rely on shade and mineral makeup (which contains a natural physical sunscreen that my skin tolerates very well).
Well from my research, american beauty balms (bb creams) are generally glorified tinted moisturizers. The Asian bb creams (which is we're they originated) are a completely different product. Asian bb creams are more like foundations with skin care benefits. They offer heavier coverage like a medium coverage foundation. The problem with them is that because of all the stuff in them, it's hard to get the pigmentation dark enough to really sell here in the US.
The bb creams sold in the US are much thinner consistency and have the coverage of a light tinted moisturizer. A true BB cream is supposed to be an all in one product...concealer, SPF, foundation, and antioxidants. US bb creams clearly miss the mark on this one.
I've only found 2 bb creams even close enough to use on my skin...maybelline's bb cream in dark and smashbox bb cream. I still use the maybelline bb cream...mostly in the summer and weekends when I only need light coverage because it provides almost no coverage.
Doesn't work well with large pores.
Smashbox bb cream works really well for me. I tried a bunch of different ones until I found the right shade for me.
If you don't match Asian BB cream shades, I'd say pass on the trend and make your own tinted moisturizer . It's super easy, only adds a few minutes to your morning routine and you get more bang for your buck since the drugstore BB creams cost more than their foundations for less product.
I confess I caved and ordered Oriental Gold from Skin79. I dont think it is necessarily a tinted moisturizer; I do like it a lot, and this is coming from someone who could not find a foundation she really loved. When I apply it, it goes on thick, but my skin absorbes it and I get a really nice finish. I use my check stain, and then a light dusting of powder. I dont know if I will love this routine in the hot weather, but it is nice for now. The color kind of blends into my skin.
Similar American made products I've purchased in the past are Miracle Skin Transformer in Medium Tan, and Too Faced Beauty Balm. With MST, I like the color a lot, but it absolutely sits on top of my skin, and it never dries. It rubs off on everything, and if it's not rubbed off, it disappears in about two hours anyways. I tried setting it with powder, but it became a cakey mess. Plus one of the reasons I wanted a "bb" cream was so I wouldn't have to layer makeup on my face.
At some point, I also bought Too Faced "Beauty Balm". I'd never used tinted moisturizer, because I'm pretty oily, but I'm betting that Too Faced Beauty Balm is basically a "tinted moisturizer". It's greasy, somewhat heavy, shiny, and it adds color instead of blending.
The Boscia BB Cream really shouldn't be compared to the two product I've just mentioned, because it functions so differently. Fortunately for me, I can pull off the color of this one.
I've been wanted to try that Skin79, but I don't know where to find a reputable seller in the US. Myrna, do you think the Skin79 would work on medium/olive skin? Does it do the "self-matching" thing?
I've been using L'Oreal's Magic BB Cream and I love it. I hate regular foundations (too heavy, usually, and I hate having to layer with powder to set it; also, I hate the heavier coverage - I have a natural rosy flush that foundation smothers, which necessitates wearing blush, and I usually do not want to do a full face). I hate tinted moisturizers because they tend to have a tacky/dewy finish that rubs off on everything.
The BB cream that I use is a very thin formula that dries to a matte, velvety finish. It blurs any imperfections (rather than smothering them), lets my natural flush on my cheeks show through, and tones down but does not erase my freckles. I don't want to look like I'm wearing a mask, but I do want to look more "even," in terms of the reddish areas around my nose and the darker circles under my eyes, etc. I have to use very little to no concealer if I use my BB cream, and it feels like I have nothing on.
The BB cream is something I can put on in two seconds flat with no other makeup and look better without much effort at all. I get compliments on my skin and on just generally looking "awake" just using one product with no other makeup on my face.
bookgirl, Does the L'Oreal BB Cream have SPF?
The L'Oreal sounds like something I'd really like, though. I may give it a try for makeup when I know I won't have any sun exposure. A "thin matte velvety" finish is exactly what I've been looking for, and, so far, that description doesn't apply to any of the BB's I've tried!
I tried the Garnier, and, for my skin it was nasty. Not only did it cover like a weird plastic mask, it smelled strongly of ethanol (alcohol denat), and it made me break out in cystic acne. Yucky.
I'm going to give the Magic a try. I like the name of it, too!
Sounds like the emperor's new clothes to me, although I was tempted to try a drugstore brand. Then I remembered why I switched to a mineral foundation in the first place -- to get the coverage I wanted plus a touch of sun protection, without the clogged pores and acne cysts.
Thanks! :flower:
Anyone tried Sleek's BB Cream?

A very pretty antique Victorian era Plaque. The plaque is hand painted on porcelain and depicts a lovely lady wearing a large gold cross. She is painted with excellent attention to detail and is signed. There are impressed marks on the back that I cannot decipher as well as her name "Ester" a date of 1882 presumably when she was painted and another that looks like it is marked "died 1906". The plaque is large at 7" x 5 1/4", it would have been a private commission from one the fine porcelain painters of the Victorian era. The frame measures 10 1/4" x 8 1/4", it has some wear to the edges. The Porcelain plaque displays nicely but does have some scratches just under her ear, see closeup photo. She would be perfect in an antique Victorian era decor.
