How Writing at the University Influences Your Future Career
Academic writing is a skill that you will need in order to increase your chances of gaining a salaried position instead of working for an hourly wage. Almost every position in the corporate world requires the ability to write reports and create other types of written documents. In addition, it is vital that your writing abilities are developed at the university level so that you can better utilize your intellect and make correct decisions.
Here are three ways in which academic writing helps you:
- It organizes your thoughts.
- It stimulates your imagination.
- It improves your comprehension.
In order to understand these ideas better, it would be a good idea to analyze each one of these points in more detail. This will allow you to apply them practically when you are involved with any sort of task that involves the training and improvement of your academic writing skills….

Duke Nukem Forever: Not Seen Gameplay
Duke Nukem Forever, perhaps the biggest running gag in gaming... or in everything. Anyway, I found a few videos showing not seen material. The first two vids only show images while the third gives some in motion action with the Duke cleaning a western town of alien scum. Always bet on Duke!

First Dante's Inferno Review: 8.5/10
PlayrBitz put out the first review for Dante's Inferno, giving it a 8.5 out of 10. I'll expect other reviews for this game to follow that mark. Don't forget that there needs to be enough space for higher ratings with God of War III coming in march! I loved the demo.

Mass Effect 2 - Which Class Will You Play?
Chances are you might in the same situation as me: Still waiting for your Mass Effect 2. Oh, it is hard to wait for the best game of all time when you know that many other gamers are playing this masterpiece already. It has even sold 2 million times already. A German saying says "pleasant anticipation is the greatest anticipation". And yes, I am thinking a hell of a lot about Mass Effect 2.
Right now, most of my thougts circle about which class to take. In the first Mass Effect I played a male good vanguard and a female evil soldier. With Mass Effect 2 all is open again. I can keep the characters as they are or I can completely change their look and class. I like the look of my Shepards, but with the class introduction videos down below I am thinking about switching classes. Also I have in mind, that choosing a class has influences on your team. With that I mean that an adept class character with a team full of biotics (Subject Zero and Miranda, as far as I expect it) will lack in firearms and heavy weapons. I am not sure which characters to implement in my team until now, but remembering the first my favorite team was Shepard with the Krogan Wrex and the Asari Liara. Anyway, let's have a look at the classes availlable in Mass Effect 2:
Adept Class
The Adept is Mass Effect 2's magician. He's specialized on biotic powers, but completely lacks on weapons. He is himself the weapon. Only the adept can develop all biotic powers.
Infiltrator Class
Long ranged weapons and tactical cloak. The Infiltrator is a perfect covert op, sneaking behind enemies and blasting their heads off. Not my type of playstyle.
Vanguard Class
Vanguard class is the one I chose in the first game. Bioware has seriously pimped it up: Now Vanguards have the charge ability which lets them rush even through objects to slay there enemies with close quarters combat shotguns. Looks definitely very cool.
Sentinel Class
The Sentinel is the combination of biotic and tech powers. He has a very cool tech armor. The tech armor makes him incredibly tough to kill. I like that.
Engineer Class
The Engineer is a master of tech powers. Not only is he the only one who can summon a battle drone, he can also manipulate robotic enemies like the geth so that they turn against their comrades. Sounds and looks cool, especially the manipulation thing, but it's a character that acts mainly from the background.
Soldier Class
The Soldier has access to all weapon and ammo types. He is the only one who can use machine guns and heavy weapons. It'd be a blast to play as soldier, in every sense of the word.
After having a look at all of the classes I am still not sure which one to take. All look cool in their own way. I tend the most to Sentinel or Soldier Class. But I'd like to know YOUR opinion, because I assume that many of you are already playing Mass Effect 2 and can give a tip based on experience. Your comments are appreciated!

Urdnot Wrex Gets His Own Machinima Series
You've propably gotten the idea that I like to watch fan series of videogames I love. I've felt very emotionally engaged with the first Mass Effect (and I am still waiting for the delivery of my Mass Effect 2, it's sold out everywhere...), so I am glad to see that there is a series about Mass Effect, featuring one of my favorite characters: Urdnot Wrex. How awesome it is that his voice sounds like in the original?
I'll keep an eye out for the first episode of this Machinima.

Dragon Age: Origins: Queen of the Blackmarsh Trailer
Seems to be part of the major Awakening add on.
BioWares next thread in the Dragon Age: Origins tapestry, occurs following the events of Dragon Age: Origins and puts players into the role of a Grey Warden Commander entrusted with rebuilding the order of Grey Wardens. In addition to rebuilding the ranks of the Grey Wardens, you will be tasked with uncovering the mystery of how the darkspawn survive after the slaying of the Archdemon. How players choose to rebuild their order, resolve the conflict with the mysterious Architect, and determine the fate of the darkspawn are just some of the many intriguing moral choices that will shape each players heroic journey. Players will be able to import their character from Dragon Age: Origins or start out as a new Grey Warden from the neighboring land of Orlais.

Mass Effect 2 Surpasses Uncharted 2's Metascore
Have a look at Gamerankings. The reviews for Mass Effect 2 are incredible. Right now it is on the sixth place of the best games of all time. The 2009 blockbuster PS3 exclusive Uncharted 2 that got Game Of The Year Awards everywhere is on place 10. But it must be recognized that this is only a temporary status and might change. Uncharted 2 has 75 reviews, while Mass Effect 2 only has 32 reviews now.
So what conclusion to draw from that? Seems like games are getting better constantly and while there are awesome multiplat titles, it is the exclusives that are the highest rated. Should be enough fuel for coming fanboy flame wars.

Alien Vs Predator Will Have Intense Multiplayer Modes
This is an interview with Rebellion's Project Leader for the new Aliens Vs Predator game. It is full of infos. Concerning multiplayer it might interest you that there are a lot of exciting multiplayer modes in development. There will be an Alien Investation mode: Everyone starts as marine, except for one player that starts as Alien. Everyone that he is able to kill will respawn as Alien, which will slowly shift the balance of power between the two groups.
It is a shame that this game is released next month, in the midst of a flood of great games like Bioshock 2, Dante's Inferno and Heavy Rain.

I Don't Need An iPad
Flame me, but I'm not a fan of what Apple is doing. Their products usually costs way more than the hardware is worth and iPod has died for me since I've heard that you are forced to use iTunes to transfer music from your PC. No drag and drop - no me as a customer.
Sure, this iPad looks cool and trendy and it even is capable to play games (have a look at 4:50), but I really don't feel like spending my money on this thing. For me the best way to surf the net is with my Acer Gemstone Blue and it's Full HD 16:9 16" Panel. Another thing: I prefer real books over e-books.

Mass Effect 2 Early Leaked
It happened to Modern Warfare 2 and it seems that it happened to Mass Effect 2 as well: The appearing of a pirated version in the net days before the official release date. The German download portal speedlounge.in has a link to a downloadable Mass Effect 2 version with the size of 12944 MB. Out of curiosity I took a deeper look and found out that the 12 gigs are parted into 66 .rar files. What a pain in the ass to download this splitted mess.
I wonder how many people are already adventuring with Commander Shepard now while all of us honest gamers are waiting... Well, they better get not online or their consoles are likely to be banned.
Personally, I stopped playing pirated games since years. I made the experience that I ended up with more games than I ever could play and finished none of them. I realized that I play games more intense and better even: finish them, when I spend the money to buy them.
[irony]And: Pitty them pirates because they don't have all the "cool" Day One DLC. [/irony]
Anyway, Mass Effect 2 is doing great: Nowgamer is giving a 9.8 out of 10 saying it's "a piece of entertainment that penetrates the line between gaming and cinema like no other, while simultaneously representing the finest blend of shooting and role-playing we've seen this generation. A gorgeous experience and a staggering achievement."
There are even plans for a Hollywood movie. Damn, I can not wait to hold this game in my hands.

Heavy Rain's First 9 Minutes Are About The Morning Wash
This is a video that shows the first nine minutes of the upcoming PS3 exclusive Heavy Rain. You play as a family father who wakes up and brushes his teeth, goes under the shower, but doesn't take a dump on the toilet. If the devs try to make the beginning of the game as boring realistically as possible, they could have included that process as well, with shaking the pad to use the toilet paper.
Anyway, I've seen some gameplay from further in the game at last year's GamesCom and the game gets better. Heavy Rain is a interactive thriller crime story in which the player can make many decisions that have influence on the development of the story. It comes from the same devs who made Fahrenheit/ Indigo Prophecy and it will most likely be an absolute must have PS3 game.

Often overshadowed by their larger than life contemporaries Darkthrone and Emperor, Satyricon was nevertheless able to carve out a highly esteemable position amongst the Norwegian ranks of the 2nd wave, offering up a raw yet grandiose sound that couldn't help but resemble a curious middle ground between the 2 aforementioned bands. It's a fairly strange marriage of sound when one considers that Darkthrone is widely know for their barebones simplicity and rigid orthodoxy, whereas Emperor took on an esoteric and wildly progressive take on things, perhaps being surpassed only by Enslaved in their level of technical extravagance. But Satyr and company somehow manage to make all the pieces fit together, and it culminates wondrously in their 3rd and magnum opus "Nemesis Divina", and album that can arguably be looked upon as the end of the glory period of the 2nd wave and a final aftershock following the turmoil that the scene witnessed in the mid 90s.
The friction between the two extremes that have influenced this album is unrelenting, yet masterfully contained and focused so as to hit the ears with a concentrated dose of auditory violence. At the very onset of "The Dawn Of A New Age", a slamming blow of frosty chords beat down the walls like Thor's hammer, in a manner not all that dissimilar from what was employed on "A Blaze In The Northern Sky", but unlike said early classic this beast piles on layers of keyboard sounds and is a good bit more technical in its riffing approach. It's not quite as fluid and blurred as Samoth's and Ihsahn's twin guitar assault, and even takes on a rugged thrashing character similar to Demonaz's work on "Pure Holocaust", but it definitely comes close to hitting the same pinnacle that was grasped on "In The Nightside Eclipse". If there is any downside to this song, it's that Satyr put it at the beginning rather than the end, since it pretty well sums up the overall character of the early 90s Norwegian sound.
The further things go, the deeper into the mystic ether the album proceeds, throwing a variety of differing musical devices that have since become staples of the genre. The intro of "Forhekset" conjures up future images of the sort of post-rock freeflow typical of Agalloch, though it is almost instantly supplanted by a battery of cold guitar riffs and chaotic drum work typical to the mid 90s sound. One area where Satyricon may have a slight edge over their intended objects of emulation (namely Emperor and Enslaved) is that they've gone even further into the through-composed realm, having contrasting ideas hitting the ears with even greater frequency than "Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk", not to mention that the closing section of "Forhekset" explores the folksy realm in a manner more befitting of Windir or Moonsorrow. It gets to the point that one has to resort to repeating the song before even getting to the next just to try and fully comprehend all the ideas that have flown out of Satyr's guitars and the keys.
The rest of the album follows the same general pattern of finding even more unique ways of confounding the listener's expectations while still sticking to a standardized formula, but the absolute zenith of the fold proves to be "Mother North". In much the same fashion as the spellbinding gloryride that was Emperor's "Into The Infinity Of Thoughts", this thing literally teleports all who hear it into a haze steeped forest of wonder amid the winter bitten mountains of Norway at dusk. The song itself cycles through a series of faster and slower sections, but the principle theme features a relentless blasting fury out of Frost that somehow surpasses Faust on the insanity factor, and adds an addition luster to the streaming tremolo riffs and majestic keyboard voicings. Poet Robert Frost penned in his work "Fire And Ice" that a cold death would be a less desired end for the world, but one would be easily swayed by this Nordic trio to think differently when considering the glory present on here.
Apart from a somewhat bizarre element of studio gimmickry on the last couple of songs that don't really seem necessary, this is pretty much flawless by the standards of 2nd wave black metal with a symphonic tinge to it, and by far the most compelling and astounding work that Satyricon has offered up. Anyone who was taken in by "In The Nightside Eclipse" and "A Blaze In The Northern Sky" will be easily swayed by this one, and I have personally even found myself preferring this slightly to the latter. It acts as something of a bridge that connects the next generation of bands such as Limbonic Art, Odium, nay even Darkspace to the grand tradition that was conceived in the 90s by Emperor, yet also acts as a reminder to the newer generation that the mystique of the style lay in its low-fi production practices, and it definitely exhibits the same tendencies that Darkthrone has continued to cleave to until this very day. "Nemesis Divina" is, for lack of any better description, timeless, and deserves all the praise it has received.

|Early Buck Rogers-style jetpacks were not a
commercial success
Actually, I could have done without that. Of course, lulled into a false sense of security by a few consecutive days of good weather, we turned off the central heating a couple of weeks back, so now with the outside temperatures reaching a high of maybe 10° we is sitting inside huddled in blankets, crouched around a guttering candle to keep us warm. I exaggerate a bit, I admit, but I did go light the fire in the kitchen.
I suppose that's pretty clear: caveat emptor and all that, I have not gone there nor do I suggest that you do so unless you have locked your browser down tighter than a cat's arsehole. Just saying, and if you do go check it out, don't blame me if you catch something nasty.
So he's had a couple of power supplies blow up, or just fade away from exhaustion, a machine that quite inexplicably one day gave up the ghost, a laptop that got stolen (probably trying to get away from him): not so long ago I lent him one of my old work machines, it was hardly a favourite and certainly no racehorse but it chugged along quite reliably until, a while back, he started losing the internet.
And as I had a few hours to spare this afternoon, I thought I might as well look into it. I have to admit to being perplexed. I don't know how he did it, come to that I don't even know exactly what he's done. First suspect is the cables and then, maybe, the Homeplug box that gets him ethernet over the power lines, then maybe something gross that he's downloaded ...
Being a methodical man, I checked first of all that the cables and connections were OK by the simple expedient of using them with my laptop: all OK. I suspected a virus, or somesuch, but the machine is a dual-boot setup with W2K and XP, he's only ever booted under W2K and just to make sure I tried booting off Linux from a USB key ... did that help? Did it hell.
What appears to happen is that the machine starts up all happy and nice, gets its IP address and everything, and then after about three minutes it is no longer capable of finding websites. Packets go out, packets come in, but address resolution does not work. Can't even find the router, should I type in the IP address (192.168.1.1, like everyone else) directly. Under XP I can "repair" the connection, which incidentally clears the ARP buffers and hooks up again with the DNS server, and it will work again, for three minutes: under W2K I can just disable and then reenable the connection: same thing.
Is a puzzlement. Not a puzzle I really need to resolve, but it's annoying. I just cannot for the life of me see how a network adapter can fail in such a manner, it's not even heat-related because I don't have to power the machine off to get it to work again, just reset the adapter. It being a tower I guess I could just try to find a PCI Ethernet card and stick it in, but those are getting to be pretty rare birds these days, as are USB WiFi dongles. (I used to have three or four of those suckers, no idea what's happened to them over the years. Probably off performing monstrous hybrid couplings with the dust bunnies in the darker recesses of my office, I guess.)
Still, I suppose that his existence, and that of others like him, just goes to show that we have nothing to fear from the vaunted Rise of the Machines. They will collapse into cybernetic catatonia.
Anyway, more or less as Méteo France promised, we are having a lousy week. Intermittent rain, cold gray skies, and the high temperatures only just scrape in to the double digits. It would be nice if it at least cleared up for the weekend, given that Margo's taking the car up to Alsace or somewhere this weekend, but I am - as the French say, dubitatif. Guess I'll be trudging around the market, the bag even heavier than usual because I really need to buy another few kilos of spuds on top of the usual suspects, in the rain.
You know, sometimes I worry that I obsess a bit too much about food. Hope springing eternal, as it will, I'd picked up some blettes (OK, call it silverbeet if you like, but not blattes) at the market with absolutely no idea what to do with the damn things. And then, late one night ... luckily I wasn't in the bath, for the results would have been disastrous for those on the lower floors, a thought came to me.
And the next day, serendipitously crossing the path of a packet of lamb mince at the supermarket, I coveted it and, as one will, went and bought it. At which point things became quite simple. Breadcrumbs, cream, salt, an egg yolk and lotsa chopped mint mixed up with the lamb and then the beaten egg white folded gently in, and the whole mess spooned on top of the blettes (which I had had the foresight to half cook beforehand so that they were nicely limp - thank god for microwaves) and then wrapped into neat little packets before going into the frying pan to meet their maker, with a bit (well, quite a lot really) of white wine, chopped tomato and garlic to see them on their way.
Sad to say, it was indeed raining - nay, positively pissing down - when I left this morning to head off to the market. And as luck would have it I had to stop off at Montmelian to go into the bank which meant that having decanted myself from the train at some appalling hour and transacted my business, I had an hour to waste before the next train through to Chambéry. And my mood was not improved on the train when it did arrive to discover that two seats ahead of me there was a bulging young muffin-top with her headphones blaring out a muffled bass beat just loud enough to keep me awake.
One day, I swear, I am going to lose it, go over and point at the little signs all over the place which say, in an encouraging way, that phones and MP3 players should be kept DISCREET! for god's sake, rip the things off and trample them underfoot, like young lions and serpents.
Be that as it may, couldn't help but notice, as I did the rounds, that there were rather fewer stall-holders out than usual: nothing to sell, I suppose, what with all the fruit being late anyway and most of what there is having rotted on the vine, or contracted leprosy, or whatever. At least there are Spanish strawberries, which pleases me, even if the average Frog-thing, in that loveable pig-headed chauvinistic way of theirs, would rather slit their own throats with barbed wire rather than eat them. Even if they don't have the chutzpah to attest that they have no flavour (as though the industrial French ones, raised on dehydrated pig-shit, tasted of something other than sticky water with a slight arrière-gout of crap) they will fall back on the assertion that they're as full of steroids as Lance Armstrong, and consequently unsafe for human consumption.
It is often said - usually by those lucky enough to live somewhere that actually has a climate - that the English have only one topic of conversation between themselves, although they will occasionally make an effort for foreigners and make polite enquiries as to the health of the family. This may or may not be true, I've not really spent enough time around the English to be able to constate on the matter, but I can affirm that it's certainly true of the French.
And I'm afraid that I really did not want to hang about any longer than strictly necessary, so I missed the festival du 1er Roman, where Beckham was set to claim her fifteen minutes of fame with a public reading of excerpts from her magnum opus. Shame really.

thank goodness that worked out and 2.9.0 was released, or otherwise it
seems there'd have been an additional 5 month delay. :) I'm still halfway

Since early 2015, WAMBA has been working with the Department of Sport and Recreation (DSR) and WestCycle to establish a pathway to support high performance mountain biking in WA.
In order to help shape the successful future of high performance cycling across all disciplines (Track, Road, Mountain Biking, BMX and Para-Cycling), WestCycle has, with the help of DSR funding:
WAMBA and others from within the mountain bike community have provided mountain bike specific input into the WA Cycling High Performance Plan, which is the first step in developing and implementing a Western Australian Mountain Bike High Performance Plan – a key recommendation from the WA Mountain Bike Strategy.
This year will see a new direction being taken for the WA junior state team. WAMBA will again be sending a team to the MTBA National Championships, which will be held in Canungra, QLD from 16th to 19th March 2017. But in a change to past years, only U15 and U17 riders will be included in the squad/ team environment and there will be no nominations required from junior riders.
Instead, after next month's WA State Championships, personal invites will be sent out to members of the new WAMBA State Squad – as chosen by the WAMBA State Selection Panel. From the state squad, a smaller WAMBA State Team will then be selected to represent our state at the National Championships wearing the black and gold.Read more: 2016/17 WAMBA U15 & U17 MTB State Squad and State Team

The upcoming third round of the WA Cross Country (XCO) State Series mountain bike event on Sunday, May 29 is set to be a history-making event for Australian mountain biking.
It will feature the first off-road hand cycling (ORHC) category in any Australian state or national MTB series round and competitors will contest the event on the country's first trails built specifically for hand cycles.
Until now off-road hand cycling in Australia has largely revolved around the exploits of one man, Andrew Liddawi.
Liddawi is the driving force behind Break the Boundary, a not-for-profit organisation, information resource and website that aims to connect people with disabilities and mobility issues to the possibilities of off-road hand cycling.
In 2013 he made a little history of his own when he contested a single stage of WA's famous Cape to Cape (C2C) stage race. He returned to C2C in 2014 to contest three stages, and in 2015 completed the full 220km event with fellow WA native and first-time C2C'er Conor McGrory in tow.
Liddawi is the inspiration for the new hand-cycling category and was involved in the design of the new trails, which are located at Cycletrek Bike Shop & Mountain Bike Park facility in Lowden, WA, otherwise known as Kambarang.Read more: Break the Boundary - off-road hand cycling first in MTB race series

Aims of the initiative:
• Support and increase mountain bike participation in young people
• Increase participation of young people at mountain bike events
• Provide a talent ID program for the WA Mountain Bike High Performance pathway

We've recently rebranded, so we're now called Genius Division. So, that means we're not using this website anymore. You can visit our new website now, or if you prefer, you can stay and have a gander at this one.
Thank you.
Traditionally, print designers and web designers are seen as exactly that: one does the print work, the other does the websites. Then another person gets involved to design a logo. Someone else might even get involved to do the brand. It's all very fragmented, and very costly.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could just find some designers that had experience of everything? That knew the limitations and the power of the web and how to design nice websites, but could also create a nice logo, that was meaningful to your business and your market?
That could even tell you how to market your brand online, and the pros and cons of Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and the rest of them?
The age-old belief that being a Jack-of-all-trades is somehow a bad thing is a thing of the past. In these fast-moving, technology-driven times, you want a design agency that's capable of helping you out with anything you might need.
If you want a design agency that you can come to for whatever your needs, no matter what medium they're in, then you've just found them. If you need to realise your design or brand across several mediums or just need advice on how to do it, then you've come to the right place.
We're Consumer, and we're a Jack-of-all-trades that aren't afraid to admit it.

Let us discuss the unsuspecting brake repair. Typically lots of people can perform their brake repairs in your own home, if they're acquainted with common repair jobs around the vehicle. In many cases individuals who are not really acquainted with the workings of cars aren't comfortable focusing on their vehicles would rather go towards the experts.
Women typically would place their cars to brake shops to achieve the brakes repaired should they have anxiety or concern the brakes aren't working correctly. Regrettably there are plenty of scam shops with regards to brake substitute and repairs. And it's also this type of popular scam scam there are many shops which are built around just doing the rip offs. Anyhow, when you are your vehicle towards the shop when not a trustworthy shop they would likely tell you just how the vehicle requires a complete overhaul regarding the brakes. They will tell you just how you have been driving around having a very unsafe vehicle which is likely to start to make a fear in your soul. This may be an average scare tactic from the repair scam artist to help you get to concede to doing or allowing them to do anything they want according for your break repair.
This is when the scam really begins to work because now they'll tell you just how the calipers need fixing which all will be strange for you and what they're suggesting is they wish to alter the caliper seals. The seals aren't costly to purchase however the labor pricing is steep. However , they just do not degrade whatsoever since many calipers on vehicles have very good quality due to the issues of safety surrounding them. Therefore it is not very likely the seals could be gone. In case there's an uncommon situation, where this may happen then there's an excuse for the calipers to become altered.
To begin with, you'll be able to inform if this sounds like actual or get someone who is a bit more knowledge about cars to check on it for you personally is the fact that whenever you hit the brakes hard your vehicle will pull to 1 side or another. Greater you hit the brake greater it is going to pull. So let us assume that you simply do require a caliper service what for you to do is possess the calipers replaced and also the old calipers provided to you. This method for you to be pretty much be confident that the job ended unless of course obviously they provide you with calipers they required off another person's vehicle.

Ford today unveiled its new Falcon utility, based on the latest AU Falcon wagon.
The ute, which uses the same floorpan as the wagon, is 118 mm longer than before, sits on a 173 mm longer wheelbase, and has a one-tonne load capacity.
The distance between the rear wheelarches in the load area has been increased by 45 mm to help the ute accommodate up to 1.2m by 1.8m building sheets as well as standard-sized pallets.
The ute will be available in three versions: cab-chassis, Styleside Box, and drop-side tray.
Ford president Geoff Polites says he expects half the ute's buyers will choose the cab-chassis version, new price leader in the range, starting at $23,400.
Cabin styling is based on the AU, and as well as having 36 mm more headroom, there is a 400 mm storage area behind the seats.
The utes have a honeycomb grille, painted grey on the XL version and body-coloured in the more expensive XLS, which is the sportier mode, with lower ride height, 16-inch wheels and sports suspension.
Fuel tank capacity is up from 68 litres to 82 litres, significantly increasing the vehicle's range between fuel stops, and the instrument panel includes a distance-to-empty reading. An LPG conversion will be available later in the year.
The engine has been upgraded to AU sedan specifications, and the 4.0-litre six now develops 157 kW of power, 9 kW more than previously. The $3,010 optional V8 engine develops 165 kW.
Headlights have been upgraded and are claimed to give 30 per cent better performance.
There are XR versions available as well, with the traditional XR quad-headlight system. The XR8's engine develops 185 kW of power.
Main prices (which include driver's side airbag) are:
XL chassis-cab $23,400.
XL Styleside $24,300.
XLS chassis-cab $26,900.
XLS Styleside $27,800.
Column-shift automatic transmission $1,549.
Floor shift $705.
Air-conditioning $2,150.

More on the Upcoming Bentley SUV
There seemed to be a lull in the market for luxury SUVs during the economic crisis that still maintains a grip on many global markets. That slightly blank canvas, however, is now being filled with fresh tracks as carmakers begin anew with fresh luxury SUV models. Such is the case with the new Bentley SUV, which will compete directly with the also-new Maserati SUV and others. A dramatic shift in attitudes toward the SUV has occurred because of two main reasons: people still crave the space offered only in SUV form and because the fuel economy figures have improved substantially. … Continue reading

Ferrari F12 Berlinetta Supercar Revealed
Ferrari has finally announced the latest addition to its fleet of prancing horses—meet the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta supercar! This beast has the capacity to rupture eardrums with a specialized V12, and is the most powerful road-going Ferrari ever!
Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezemolo often highlights various Ferrari models that cater to different clients, but when it comes to the V12 GT cars, it is serious business.
The Most Powerful Ferrari Ever?
Ferrari is feeling the pressure from the award-winning Lamborghini Aventador, unleashing what it calls "The most powerful Ferrari ever"…but is it? The exotic car rumor mill is ablaze that this could be the Ferrari F620 GT, the replacement for the Ferrari 599. We will all find out exactly what they are hinting at on February 29th, 2012, when the car is officially unveiled!
The automaker announced this news with a teaser video (see video above) intended to peak interest and generate excitement for the new supercar.
Ferrari Fueled by E85 Unleashes 875 Prancing Horses!
A forward-thinking Ferrari aficionado has gone a bit green, not with a paint job, but with an E85-fueled Ferrari FF hatchback. The Ferrari FF was reportedly converted by a Norwegian aftermarket developer and boosts the usual 650 prancing horses up to an impressive 875! No word on if Ferrari approves of this mad science, or if the FF will now stand for 'Flex Fuel'. End sarcasm.

A Ferrari SUV? Not Happening
Some auto aficionados feel that the Stuttgart shield was tarnished a bit by the introduction of the Porsche Cayenne and the Panamera. Apparently, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne is among those sharing that opinion, as he has announced that a Ferrari SUV will not be happening!

Ferrari FF Hatchbacks Invade Maranello!
The video clip below shows Ferrari's first-ever 4-wheel drive, 4-seater, hatchback luxury cars taking the streets of Maranello, Italy by storm! A Ferrari family car just seems so bizarre, but I must admit that I prefer to see Ferrari FF hatchbacks trickling down the streets than another bleeding Honda Civic. I firmly believe that the sea of U.S. cars is 74.3% Civics…
The Ferrari FF Hatchback makes other hatchbacks green with envy
4-Door Ferrari Hits Auction Block—It is Not a Ferrari FF

The Ferrari FF hatchback may be the first 4-door car to be made available to the masses, but back in 1980 there was a special Ferrari Pinin featuring four doors, and it will now hit the luxury car auction block!

Hello! I accidentally started an Empire army a while ago... Now I have nearly 1500pts (with characters) in a box. I was really excited about having a Witch Hunter in the army. Mainly because I seem to lose every challenge I ever have to fight (no matter which army I'm playing with)... I'm not very good at gearing up my characters :)
Witch Hunter might be the right medicine for me, for it is a potential character in the army, getting rid of those annoying, geared up enemy generals from a distance... with pistols blazing!
My broblem was, that I did'nt have any suitable miniature for a Witch Hunter, so I had to go bashing my bitz box. This is what I came up with...
I was short of any suitable bitz (the pointy hat and a cape), but I managed to find the most important piece, the accusative finger. "I want you"!
Then I added the blunderbuss, crossbow, and a pistol on the waist.
Also glued on some protective writings to the crossbow and blunderbuss, hoping it'll effect positively on my dice rollings :)
Well, there you have it. I'll be back with some knightly orders shortly. Bye now!

Yes it can restore a single database.
I can restore the tables in a database, but not the database itself, without replacing all of DBC. How do you restore the database itself without restoring all of DBC?
How was your backup job created? What other type of obejcts you have in that database?
If you backup at database level then you can create a restore/copy job at database level.This does not need restoring all of DBC.
This job will restore all the objects that were backed up.Before running db level restore/copy make sure that database exists on the target system.
We have a requirement to be able to restore a single database for DR purposes. One scenario is that a database is accidentally deleted and will need to be restored. In this case, the database will no longer exist, so we would need to restore it from a backup. DSA does not appear to allow that. We can create the DB manually and then restore the tables and data, but all the rights and privileges associated with the DB will be gone. Those will also have to be recreated manually. We need to be able to perform a single restore to get everything in one shot.
For this requirement you cannot achieve everthing in one shot from DSA product itself,atleast not in the current version.
BTW...arcmain also has exact same behavior/working (i.e. DB has to exist in order to perform a DB level restore and then manually grant permission if all the objects were lost and are recreated by restore jobs).
If Database is deleted (not actually dropped) then you can still restore the entire Database as DB still exists.
Incase its accidentally dropped then yes as you mentioned you will have to create that DB manually and then copy the DB objects.
In both cases you will have to grant access-rights again.
I personally think that creating that one DB manually and granting access-rights after restore is much better than restoring DBC and going through the post-DBC restores steps/tasks followed by all the data restores.
If mulitple databases got dropped and the number of grants to be done are way too high then you can think of DBC restore , followed by data restore.
You will have to evaluate your options,time required etc.. and then decide.
Because the access rights are in DBC and you aren't restoring that, you need a process to copy access rights to another set of tables and back them up for reference. You lose the grants when the dataase is "accidently deleted." You'll want to copy data from dbc.allrights, dbc.rolemembers, dbc.roleallrights and more.

They're like actors — if only actors were attached to sticks and strings and required five people to control their movements.
Puppets seen in the "Handmade Puppet Dreams Highlights," a series at the 2011 Newport Beach Film Festival in partnership with Florida-based IBEX Puppetry, can be scary, funny, heart-wrenching and nearly human.
"There is something really magical when you get that right combination of four or five people breathing and moving together," said Sam Hale, "Handmade Puppet Dreams" director and producer. "There is something almost uncanny about it."
The puppet short-film series includes Hale's "Yamasong," a surrealistic adventure story that combines puppets and green screen technology. It is the winner of Best Animated Film and Best Animated Fantasy Short at the Dragon*Con Independent Film Festival 2010.
The nine-film series also includes the world premiere of David Michael Friend's "Moonfishing" and a sneak preview of Kevin McTurk's "Narrative of Victor Karloch," Hale said.

A fairy tale about a space probe failure that never happened
I enjoy reading Phil Plait's Bad Astronomy blog. On September 5th he posted about The Great Kersten Blunder Blunder. That was a story about failure of a space probe due to a programming error. Among other places, the story appeared in an apparently reputable publication from the National Physical Laboratory titled Beginner's Guide to Measurement in Mechanical Engineering (on page 8):
"Software controlling the Vigor space probe, on course for Venus, used 24.5 instead of 25.4 to convert millimetres to inches. The error meant that the probe missed Venus completely, and $2 billion worth of technology was lost. The eponymous Kersten was the programmer who made the error."
What is missing from this story? It doesn't say who launched the probe, or when. Phil pointed out that even a little Google search will reveal the story is a fairy tale. The moral is that you never should pass along a story without checking to see if it is real. See my August 27th post titled Stamp out fuzzy thinking: Please don't confuse satire with reality.

"Cheese is Milk's Leap Toward Immortality"

Welcome to one giant slice of cheese adventuring!
Here, at Fromage Artisans, it is no surprise that we are inspired by cheese – part science, part alchemy and a whole lot of love – it is one very fine and special product.
Lets bring the art of a great cheese plate and old school 70s dinner party dining back into our every day lives.
From the hidden basement of our late night supper club, to our retail Fromagerie and its treasure chest of vault-aged cheese through to our monthly Fromartisan Club delivering the cheesy goodness right to your door, we want to ensure each little slice of artisan cheese arrives safe, fresh and in prime condition.
We want our offering to inspire and delight you, but more importantly we want you to gather with friends and family, start a great conversation, open an amazing bottle of wine and simply enjoy!

We can't wait to see you at our table.

Talk about bringing solar power to the palm of your hand! The World's Smallest Solar Racing Car is a tiny, fully-functional solar powered vehicle topped with a minuscule photovoltaic panel. The Select Solar Mini Racer measures in at a mere 33x22x14 mm – about the size of a quarter – but can zoom around with the best of them.
Check it out on Inhabitots.com >
As its name implies, the Select Solar Mini Racer can be run entirely on solar power, but can also be powered by the artificial light of a strong indoor source. We think it looks like a great educational eco-friendly toy for little kids and big kids (and your inner kid) alike. The Solar Mini is a fabulous showcase of solar technology, and it's adorable to boot. Plus at a mere £11.99 it certainly is the most affordable solar car on the market.

We seem to be having a problem with our CC'd emails?
I have tracked it back to kerio, has anyone else had this problem:
Kerio connects to our server and downloads all emails from our catchall<_at_>ourdomain.co.uk
and then kerio sorts the emails via the username on the system.
If an email address has someone CC'd into the email it doesn't always go through and it seems to be random... The TO person will always get it but not the cc'd person.
When I look through the logs it doesn't seem to download it from the server.
Can anyone shed any light on it?
I have not seen it on my system or any of my clients. You may want to check the Kerio forum.

Brand Representative for MDaemon Technologies
I don't have much experience with Kerio but I would guess they are doing about the same thing MDaemon does when downloading messages from a catch all POP account. Most likely they are trying to parse the message headers to determine who locally should receive a copy of the message. Depending on the exact situation there should be one copy of the message in the catch all account for each local recipient. Verify that you are actually getting one copy of the message in the catch all account for each recipient. Each copy of the message should have recipient headers that indicate the exact email address the message should be delivered to. These will be something like X-Rcpt-To:, they will NOT be the To and CC headers. Verify that these headers are being parsed for the recipient address when downloading messages.
Hope that helps.

Alleged hacker Matt DeHart asks for mercy at his Canadian detention review hearing. He gets none - National Post 20140606
TORONTO — A former U.S. soldier seeking asylum in Canada after fleeing criminal charges and, he alleges, torture at the hands of U.S. jailers, pleaded for mercy from Canadian authorities so he can continue treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder.
"I'm under extraordinary mental distress," said Matt DeHart, 29, at his detention review hearing in Toronto on Thursday. He said he was receiving counselling from the Canadian Centre for Victims of Torture before his re-arrest for a release infraction and asked to return to therapy.
"I'd like to request mercy in this matter."
He received none. Mr. DeHart was ordered to remain in jail pending his upcoming immigration and refugee proceedings.
Mr. DeHart and his parents claimed refugee asylum last year after fleeing to Canada before his trial in Tennessee on charges of production and transportation of child pornography.
He claims the charges are a ruse by U.S. authorities to use as leverage in a national security probe into a possible Russian spy ring, his activities as part of the Anonymous hacktivist group and his link to a classified document likely destined for WikiLeaks, the whistle-blowing organization.
While his story seems incredible, a five-part National Post investigation last week revealed there is some truth behind some of those claims.
But Thursday's mandatory detention review did not delve into any of those details. Instead, the IRB heard from Canada Border Services representative Alexis McLellan that Mr. DeHart had been turned down by the Toronto Bail Program, a charitable bail supervision program, because he is a fugitive from justice, a disqualifying factor.
Ms. McLellan argued Mr. DeHart remained a flight risk and a danger to the public and requested his continued detention.
Mr. DeHart, speaking via a video link from Central East Correctional Centre in Lindsay, offered assurance his detention was unnecessary.
He said the concern he might disappear once released and "melt away" into the Canadian population, as expressed at a previous hearing, was even more unlikely now: "I've been on the front page of a national newspaper," he said of the Post's investigation. "I'm now in the media."
He said the breach of his release condition that sparked his re-arrest was a modest and inadvertent one and not an attempt to evade or escape. The IRB previously heard that Mr. DeHart and his parents were moved by their landlord to an apartment one floor up from where he was under house arrest.
Although the DeHarts notified the GPS monitoring company of the move, which in turn notified CBSA, his release conditions required him to notify CBSA personally. He was arrested the day after the move.
His detention will next be reviewed on July 2.

I am a smoker. It is something I started last summer, but have had to curtail as the weather has gotten cold and wet. I have thought about smoking in the garage, but I can't find a way to keep the smell from wafting into the house. Now I am coaching track, so finding time to smoke is pretty limited for the next couple of months. I have to carve out 12+ hours to really do it right. You just can't hurry a good smoke if you want to enjoy the flavor as it engulfs a slab of ribs, chicken, turkey, lamb, and jalapenos.
Part of my love of smoking meats and vegetables is a reaction to the "microwaveable" world that surrounds us. We set aside taste and flavor if we can have our food hot and fast. Whole conversations are reduced to hashtags and 140 characters. A student told me the other day that they didn't have time to read emails, and wondered if I could text them instructions. Texting slang is beginning to work its way into to students' essays. We can't even wait a couple of seconds for a website to load. While I am not advocating that we do away with all speed and efficiency, I am wondering if we have considered the impact this is having on us and our children.
Education is fumbling with how to respond to our microwavable society. Children have to wrestle with ideas and images that research tells us their brains are not ready to handle. Puberty starts earlier now for both girls and boys. Schools have fallen in line. A year of math can now be done in a semester. Programs like Running Start enable a student to earn college credits before he or she gets their driver's license. Standardized testing benchmarks pressure students to get the right answers, even if they find they don't have time to understand the significance of what they "learned." The results are pretty telling as we read of increased levels of anxiety and depression in younger and younger children. Something needs to change, more than just moving the start time of the school day.
A few years ago, the junior and senior high staff began conversations about developing healthy student learners. This year we implemented the idea of giving students some control of their learning with Phenomenal Fridays. As previous blogs stated, it has been a worthwhile experiment. We're now looking at changing the daily schedule to allow students time to let what happens in the classroom, hallways, and sports events truly flavor their learning. We want to leverage the ecosystem for Christian formation as something that engulfs the students and prepares them to contemplate questions like, "You say you are a Christian, so what does that mean when…?"
It all goes back to the last line of our Mission Statement: To be a dynamic and transforming influence for the glory of God. For this to occur, we need to give them a picture of what it really means, and it has to be something more than being a stressed-out adult. Let the kids be kids. It is such a short and precious time of their lives that they will never recapture. Jesus knew this when he called the children to him and pointed out that the kingdom of Heaven belongs to them. We can't let them race through this important time of their lives. Consider keeping it low and slow so that their lights can shine as well-prepared and healthy members of the ecosystem God has developed for them.

How to Make Shopping Healthy Easy
"Um, where do you keep the nutritional yeast?" When I said this to the cashier at my local Whole Foods, what I really meant was, "What on Earth is nutritional yeast, and what am I supposed to do with it?" I had come across a number of recipes that called for this ingredient on my quest to become a healthier cook, but it took me a while to get up enough courage to walk into a Whole Foods Market and try to find it.
I'll be honest, places like Whole Foods, farmers markets and produce co-ops intimidate me. Like most Americans I'd spent the majority of my life shopping for the same prepackaged meals week after week, only straying from the norm when I went out to dinner with my food savvy friends. After finally getting fed up with feeling tired, cloudy and sluggish, I decided it was time to take control of my diet, which led me on my quest for nutritional yeast. I knew changing my diet would require I completely change how and where I grocery shopped, which I initially found intimidating. With patience, persistence, practice and a little ingenuity, I became a regular Whole Foods Lewis and Clark.
Here is how to make the transition from the convenience store to the health food store a little less intimidating and little more fun.
Do your research: Don't pretend like you didn't Google "how to pronounce quinoa" the first time you read about it, or you weren't extra careful not to spill water on your chia seeds for fear they might start to sprout. When it doubt, look it up. There is no shame in getting on the internet and pulling up pictures of unfamiliar products. If nothing else, you'll have a better idea what you're looking for from how the product is packaged to what section it can be found in to who makes it. You might even stumble on some pretty great deals online, saving you money and a trip to the store.
Implement the buddy system: Not sure what farmers market etiquette looks like? Bring a friend. Bringing a friend along is great for a couple of reasons. First, it takes the pressure off. Trying something new can be stressful, but bringing along a friend turns it into a fun, healthy, social adventure! Anyone for, "Remember that time we went to the farmers market and bought six star fruit because we liked the way they looked," as opposed to, "Remember that time we took six tequila shots and had to walk three miles home in December?" Also, you can split the goods. Want to give lentils a try, but they only come in a large bag? Time to divide and conquer; sharing with a friend can provide a more cost effective way to try out new foods. It can also be a lot of fun to hear how others are getting creative with the same ingredients.
Join a community: I recently discovered that a community center close to my apartment teaches classes on plant-based grocery shopping, cooking and eating in addition to meditation and yoga. With more and more people starting to take charge of their health and wellness, it's no surprise that educational opportunities such as these are starting to pop up all over the place. If you're serious about making changes, and you're not sure where to start, this might be the way to go. You'll be placed in an environment with other like-minded individuals where you'll be able to ask all the questions you want, and get immediate answers.
Ask for help: Remember that story about nutritional yeast? Despite looking it up online and asking a couple of my vegan friends for direction, when I walked in the door of Whole Foods, I couldn't find it to save my life. I had to break down and finally just ask someone for help. Turns out it had recently been moved to a different spot in the store, and despite my best efforts, I had to ask someone other than myself for direction.
Wanting to make healthy changes to your diet is a great step in the right direction! Be aware that it'll take patience, practice and persistence to get where you want to be, but the rewards are tenfold. I encourage you to be open to embracing the experience -- the good, the bad, the hilarious, and everything in between.

The exam is easier than Marcus' exams (although, they're so good and really worthwhile), I average high 80's and low 90s on the three and I thought even more difficult than Dan's. I would take the exam questions and randomly mix up the answers, even if they seem unrelated to get a better picture.

I have my first project to share with you tonight! I made this for my kids' music teacher. Now, my photography skills leave much to be desired, so I apologize for it not being a great photo. But you'll be able to get the general idea!
I created the print itself in photoshop. I used my paints from my DSD Grab bag (found HERE)
Then, I used a music brush to create the lines of music and then used the transform tool to sort of bend it a bit! I added the treble clef by just using a standard shape in photoshop and then erased away some of it with a grunge brush. Last, I found the quote I wanted and added it with a fun font! I covered the wording in paper to give more texture and then added a soft, simple shadow. When it was done, I sent it off for printing (that part cost me a whole 80 cents!) It is done at an 11x14 size. Then I mod podged it to a blank canvas.
A few tricks I learned in the process: 1. Cut the print to just a little bit shorter than the canvas. 2. Apply the modpodge very thin, but apply a layer to both the canvas and the back of the print. I think it helps it to adhere better that way. 3. Let the bottom layer dry at least an hour before adding more modpodge to the top. I did two layers-letting them dry in between. This keeps it from bubbling. Also, when you apply at first, use a credit card to push out any bubbles.
Once I had it all dry, then I took black paint and painted the outside edges of the canvas and added a little around the edges on the front. It gives it a very artsy feel and also helps to seal it altogether! I had gotten the canvas on sale for about $4, so the whole project cost me about $6.

So I found my inspiration to keep up the gymming even though "Lance" is no more: That would be a picture of Vail Colorado. Where I'm going in April. I'M GOING SKIING IN COLORADO!!!!! Yup. We decided to go. I've never been skiing out west and I just can't wait! So now I will definitely be keeping up the spinning. I need me some strong legs to withstand 3 or 4 days of skiing on the biggest mountain I've ever been on! That and I'll be seeing some people I haven't seen since college graduation… and I dunno about youl but when I see people I haven't seen in awhile I always want to look reeeeal good. Ya know?

This might be short
This might not be
But I just want to tell you why Jesus seems like everything to me.
Jesus to me is my whole existence
Before I answer any title or name awarded to me by people , career, position or anything at all
I am first and most of all
A child of God
From a girl who searched for herself so long in the thing she does or accolades she gets from people, a girl whose identity was only validated deeply inside her only whenever someone mentions it or when she is praised or some times when she is spoken to softly in the middle of the night by someone she barely knows his intentions. A girl who has a wall around her called pride which she mistook for high self esteem.
Now to a girl
Who finds joy in being playful like a child.
Who finds joy in shouldering responsibilities as an adult
Who finds love in giving it back to others
Who finds her identity in Peace with God- and that is forevermore
Who finds nothing external but realised her inner beauty in the One who moulded her for a divine purpose.
She doesn't mind if the work is done in silence
She is created to fellowship with her father and her light will bring many more into this marvelous life.
She ain't scared of the future
She was created for such a time as this.
I will definitely remember this days and years and give glory that I went through it
My silent moments might be sometimes tiring but am satisfied that He's always with me. This moments I know makes me for the future I see.
Jesus to me is My Life!
This your little baby is happy you found her.😘😘
