This is a new, range-topping version of the KTM Adventure range that will get the 1301cc V-twin from the Superduke R, a larger fuel tank and even more sophisticated electronics so it can sit above the current 1190 model. MCN brought spy shots of this bike in much rougher prototype from a few months ago but this finished bike leaked ...

KTM is set to change its 1190 Adventure model to more directly tackle the class-dominating BMW R1200GS, as these new spy shots reveal. The bike is still relatively new, having been launched at the start of 2013, and we would normally expect it to last three years before an update. But these pictures show a host of mid-life updates aimed ...

KTM's much-anticipated 2014 Super Duke R has been spied many times by MCN during its development, and now KTM have released the first official pictures and technical specifications of the all-new super-naked. It's not all about outright performance though, with the Austrian firm claiming excellent fuel consumption figures, and 15,000km (9300 mile) service intervals for the 1301cc 75-degree V-twin. But ...

How to Be More Approachable
People feel comfortable approaching someone who is humble, trustworthy, and confident. It takes effort to balance traits successfully, but the effort is well worth the relationships you will foster.
1Approach others: If you really want to be more approachable, you need to be able approach other people, the two go hand in hand. If you are the shy type, smile. Smiling can boost your confidence, if not it will make you seem more confident, therefore, giving the illusion you are approachable.Ad
2Take interest in others: Find out what matters to them, ask them questions (but not too many). Observe and analyse people, get to know their personality and approach them in a manner that fits. Try to listen more than you talk.
3Body Language: Understand that body language is important. Relax, and make friendly eye contact. Lean back a little bit (it shows confidence). Don't cross your arms. Keeping your hands relaxed is the best. Smile when you see someone (like seeing them just made your day).
4Drive by complimenting people! It's surprising, and incredibly endearing. The trick is to say something as uniquely nice as possible as you walk away. Say something you genuinely appreciate about them. You will be surprised at the friends you make, and some of the time, you start a trend. Isn't it always nice when someone says you look really pretty/handsome? Compliments will make people want to talk to you, because, well, who doesn't like being complimented?
5Avoid being rude: One thing some girls or guys think, is that it is funny to be mean and aggressive, but no one finds this approachable. A nice, friendly, open nature will make you more approachable. No one wants to approach someone who presents themselves as rude or aggressive.
6Think the best of people: Think it loudly, say it. Always try to find the good in people, compliment them (Don't over do it). If other people are gossiping, try not to join in, say nice things about others and others will say nice things about you.
7Build people's confidence: Instead of telling someone they're wrong, try to understand their perspective, and find something right in what they are saying. Voice your dissent, but assume they have a valid point. An approachable person is someone who is open to new ideas.
8Be confident but just a little humble: Walk around and talk to people in your spare time. Don't be anti-social, remember, if you approach others, then others will approach you.
9Make special effort to include people in conversations: Make room for them in a circle, introduce them, or ask their name. Letting people in on an inside joke, or an office secret is an instant bonding point. Do you ever notice that one person who always seems to be left out in the group... you have the power to include them, they will really appreciate this.
10Dress well: Dress in clothes you like, and clothes that show your personality. If you dress colorfully/darkly you will attract people who do the same.
11Be true to yourself: Be true to yourself and proud of your unique qualities. Everyone is different and accepting your unique qualities will show confidence. People feel most comfortable around someone who has oddities; it allows them to be quirky themselves!
12When you find out a secret, take it seriously: Let them know they can trust you. Then show extreme loyalty to that trust (If they betray your trust, yet you stick to your word, the trustworthy reputation you gain becomes stronger. Onlookers take notice). Never betray your friends, or anyone in that matter. You want others to trust you, even if they are not your friend. Word will get around that you are trustworthy, therefore, making people want to approach you.
13Respect others: Show that you care and respect what people have to say. Don't just laugh at them in front of your friends, be considerate, but if they do something weird, tell them (In a polite manner). This helps everyone. When talking, think about what you're saying, let it register through your mind. Avoid saying things that may hurt others feelings.
14Smile: Yep, that's right, something as simple as smiling will contribute to making you an approachable person. Don't wear a forced smile, always make sure your smile is either warm or fun. Laughing goes well with smiling (of course), so pair your smile up with a hearty laugh.
15Give it time: Keep treating others as though they are approachable and hopefully they will treat you the same. It may take time, but keep at it. Have fun and act upon your heart's will, don't let insecurities stop you approaching others or bring you down. Accept who you are and smile.Ad
Are you an expert on makeovers?
If so, share what you know about how to give yourself a makeover.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
We are a bit smarter today because of you.
- If someone does approach you, always treat them well, and with respect. Accept them with a smile and always keep an open mind.
- It is human nature to be attracted to positivity and upbeat personalities.
- Do not let anything hold you back. If you want to laugh, laugh; if you feel uncomfortable, make it known.
- If someone approaches you who you personally do not like, you can still be civil and classy without giving them mixed signals as to how you truly feel about them.
- It is important to understand that sometimes to seem more approachable you have to approach others, too. Do not be afraid to mingle and travel through a crowd. Soon, others will be following you like a magnet.
- Be yourself.
- Another way is to start off in the center of the room- stay put but introduce yourself to others around you. Keep your arms open and your wrists exposed (it gives a sense of openness; this also keeps you from crossing your arms or keeping a drink in your hand the whole time).
- Do not be afraid to ask questions.
- Be tactile- do not be afraid to slightly touch someone on his/her shoulder or arm. This creates a warm presence and adds a deeper connection.
- Use your space- talk with your hands and move around a little.
- Also make note that starting a conversation is a two-way street. Do not be afraid to approach others.
- Do not portray yourself with qualities in which you do not obtain- in other words: be yourself. If someone does not like the real you, they are less likely to be good friends/acquaintances to the real you.
- Crossing your arms gives others the impression that you may be uncomfortable or you may not want to be at that particular gathering. Thus, people will hesitate before approaching you.
- Everyone has their bad days so do not be discouraged by one failed attempt. Just give them some time. Do not give everything to someone who will never matter
- Do not cover up your freckles (if you have them.) Research has stated people with freckles look more bubbly and approachable.
Things You'll Need
- a big smile
- an open mind

Each year, businesses lose billions of dollars to employees working for their own company. Studies have found that 75% of employees have admitted to stealing from their employer at least once, and of companies that file for bankruptcy, 33% of them are a cause of theft from their own employees.
HR departments are finding it harder and harder to weed through potential candidates as a higher amount of prospects admit to submitting false information on their resumes.
The following FACTS ABOUT EMPLOYEE THEFT infographic illustrates just how much employee theft negatively affects the current workforce. Not all methods of keeping up with employee activity are effective. Fortunately, there are other proactive options and solutions employers can take to keep an eye on employee activities both in and outside the office, and also help prevent more theft down the line.

Using as a coffee table in our family room just the right size
From the beginning as a small furniture company in Ontario, Canada, Magnussen has evolved into a full line furniture resource with offices in Ontario, Canada; High Point, NC; Riverside, CA; and, the Far East. Their business is creating furniture designs of exceptional style, value and beauty. Magnussen produces these designs in partnership with their manufacturing partners around the world that meet exacting standards for superior quality at the best possible value.
The foundation of Magnussen's success is built on the company's core values of trust, honesty, and respect. Each of my teammates at Magnussen Home participates in the success of the company and is eager to ensure that their furniture products enrich the homes of customers with their exceptional style and workmanship.
An unrivaled value in home furnishings -- this is the commitment that they renew everyday to consumers who invite Magnussen Home into their lives. Magnussen sources their designs from only the finest home furnishings manufacturers, many in the Far East and Central America.
Even as the company has grown larger, the principles of a family-run business -- trust, honesty and respect -- continue to be its foundation. The company was founded in 1931 by Ingwer Magnussen. A cabinetmaker by trade and a craftsman and businessman by heart, Ingwer took the bold initiative to start his own business in Kitchener, Ontario, when he was unable to find work during the 1930s depression. He beautifully and intricately carved show wood for sofa frames for upholstery manufacturers and his business grew into a good-sized company serving Canada.
Richard Magnussen, Ingwer's son, joined the company in 1970 at the age of 20. Richard steered the company's focus on expansion and growth, enabling Magnussen Furniture to become Canada's largest supplier of occasional tables. In 1986, Richard founded Presidential Furniture, a division of Magnussen Furniture, to serve the U.S. market. In 1986, the company began trading as Magnussen-Presidential Furniture, which became one of the most progressive occasional furniture suppliers in North America. With an eye to detail and an understanding of the worth of exclusive designs, Richard built relationships with international manufacturers from around the world and tapped a huge growth opportunity. Magnussen-Presidential Furniture began importing from the Orient a decade before fashion trends and design styles in the furniture business made it in vogue to do so.
In 2002, Magnussen-Presidential Furniture became Magnussen Home. The addition of "Home" reflects what Magnussen offers as a company -- fine furniture, designed and created by a family of craftsmen from around the world, to fill the most important rooms in your home.
The Difference
Details are important... even down to where you will set a water glass. They have a passion for details. It stems from how Magnussen runs their company, grows into the conveniences they design into their furniture, and blooms into the relationships built with their valued dealers.
Magnussen designs every piece of furniture that carries the Magnussen Home name. They understand that finishing touches like intricately carved woodwork or ironwork do more than complete the look of a piece of furniture; they set the tone of your home. Magnussen furniture does more than fill a home. It expresses who we are.
An unwavering commitment to ensuring your satisfaction is their most important difference.

Whoa. Who would have thought that an article on FFB and use of common slang terms would generate this much hatred back and forth?
Discussions of Teabagging might be distasteful to some, and a joke to other. Either way, your personal offense aside, this is not the place to address your moral values or to try and clean the content to meet your standards.
WoWInsider is not required to meet any particular standard of speech. And they're repeating such common usages do not endangerous the well being of a child. Any such accusation would be to the initial utterance, in game.
You are welcome to rear your child and be the type of parent you choose to be. It is not the requirement of anyone else to live up to, or down to, your standard.
As for this column... leave the discusion to the area of Mages and your soapbox to the political or religious arenas. Thanks.
Now... FFB is something that I guess I will have to try at some point, but I am still having much more fun being able to MOVE with Arcane barrage as my main nuke! Woot!
kenn f said -
Now... FFB is something that I guess I will have to try at some point, but I am still having much more fun being able to MOVE with Arcane barrage as my main nuke! Woot!
I totally agree with you, after being an immobile fireslinger up until now, being able to actually wield pure magical power AND be able to move around while doing it AND it still turning out a reasonable amount of DPS (ABarrage seems to mirror fireball in most ways, though it does slightly less base damage I've noticed)...I just can't stop. Slow, ABarrage, FB, ABarrage, PoM-(insert normal cast-time heavy nuke here, for me it's fireball), ABarrage, it's just...unprecedented.
and yes, it probably doesn't have as much raw DPS as an FFB build, but I"m HAVING FUN with it, much like what Christian said in his disclaimer and what Kenn might've implied in his comment. if you want to try to feel superior in the damage charts then go respec to FFB, but if you want to do that I wonder why you rolled a mage in the first place (if you've got a 70 mage atm chances are you had one before 3.0.2 which means that everybody could out-DPS us then (usual exceptions of course) so what you were trying to do with a mage being top-dog with DPS at that time is anybody's guess.
ultimately though, I may roll FFB for an instance/raid when I get to 80 (when I F*****g finally get wrath - some you wouldn't believe how impossible it is to get wrath retail here - on second thought, maybe you might, it hasn't been translated into japanese after all...but that's a rant for another time) just to see those BIG JUICY CRITS everyone's talking about/drooling over.
(well, everyone in the mage community anyway, everyone else is probably wondering if this will make us more squishy or more living WoMD, and even more due cause to feign death/vanish/fade/go invisible (though if your opponent is a mage then I suppose you yourself could just go invisible and know where he is))
and to the guy QQ-ing about Christian using the term 'tea-bagging' - stop QQ-ing about 'political' issues and start QQ-ing about important issues, like why the hell we can't steal beastial fury from a hunter or his pet like we can with a pally and hand of freedom (again, another rant for another time... Christian, think WoW insider'll let me QQ about that if I wrote an issue of Arcane brilliance?)

On Wednesday, April 2, 2014, PfPI/Partnership for Policy Integrity in Massachusetts released a study by Dr. Mary Booth surveying biomass energy projects operating and proposed across the U.S. The study highlights seven public policy loopholes used to push these polluting facilities forward under the guise of "green energy" and finds that once these sites go online, communities experience worse environmental degradation than they were led to believe.
Trees, Trash and Toxics: How Biomass Energy has Become the New Coal

New Report: "Green" Biomass Electricity Plants in Washington and Oregon More Polluting Than Coal
New plants will increase toxic emissions while collecting renewable energy subsidies
Pelham, MA. - Biomass electricity generation, a heavily subsidized form of "green" energy that relies primarily on the burning of wood, is more polluting and worse for the climate than coal, according to a new analysis of 88 pollution permits for biomass power plants in 25 states.
Trees, Trash, and Toxics: How Biomass Energy Has Become the New Coal, released today and delivered to the EPA by the Partnership for Policy Integrity (PFPI), concludes that biomass power plants being constructed in the Pacific Northwest are permitted to emit more pollution than comparable coal plants or commercial waste incinerators, even as they are subsidized by state and federal renewable energy dollars. The report contains detailed information on emissions from three of the biomass plants being constructed in the region, the Biogreen Sustainable Energy plant proposed in La Pine, Oregon, and the Nippon Paper and Port Townsend Paper biomass expansion projects being conducted on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington.
"The biomass power industry portrays their facilities as 'clean,' said Mary Booth, director of PFPI and author of the report. "But we found that even the newest biomass plants are allowed to pollute more than modern coal- and gas-fired plants, and that pollution from bioenergy is increasingly unregulated."
The report found that biomass power is given special treatment and held to lax pollution control standards, compared to fossil-fueled power plants.
Biomass plants are dirty because they are markedly inefficient. Per megawatt-hour, a biomass power plant employing "best available control technology" (BACT) emits more nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds, particulate matter, and carbon monoxide than a modern coal plant of the same size.
Almost half the facilities analyzed, however, avoided using BACT by claiming to be "minor" sources of pollution that skim under the triggering threshold for stricter pollution controls. Minor source permits are issued by the states and contain none of the protective measures required under federal air pollution permitting.
EPA rules also allow biomass plants to emit more hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) than both coal plants and industrial waste incinerators, including heavy metals and dioxins. Even with these weak rules, most biomass plants avoid restrictions on the amount of toxic air pollution they can emit by claiming to be minor sources, and permits usually require little testing for proof of actual emissions. When regulated as a minor source, a facility is not required to meet any limitations on emissions of hazardous air pollutants.
The potential for biomass power plants to emit heavy metals and other air toxics is increasing, because new EPA rules allow burning more demolition debris and other contaminated wastes in biomass power plants, including, EPA says, materials that are as contaminated as coal. A majority of the facilities reviewed in the report also allowed burning demolition debris and other waste materials, including the Nippon and Port Townsend plants.
Port Townsend Air Watchers was among a number of groups that sued Washington State over the state's failure to conduct an environmental impact assessment on the Port Townsend plant under a state law that requires such assessments for "energy recovery" facilities that burn solid wastes. The court denied the group's suit, arguing that once waste materials are accepted as fuel, they are no longer waste because they have "become a commodity."
"This is a race to the bottom in regulating polluting industries," said Gretchen Brewer, Director of Port Townsend Air Watchers. "By arguing that "waste is not waste," industries are systematically eliminating safeguards that should protect us from hazardous pollutants emitted by burning waste materials."
"Lax regulations that allow contaminated wastes to be burned as biomass mean that communities need to protect themselves," said Mary Booth. "They can't count on the air permitting process to ensure that bioenergy pollution is minimized."
The analysis also found that although wood-burning power plants are often promoted as being good for the climate and carbon neutral, the low efficiency of plants means that they emit almost 50% more CO2 than coal per unit of energy produced. Current science shows that while emissions of CO2 from biomass burning can theoretically be offset over time by forest regrowth and other means, such offsets typically take several decades to fully compensate for the CO2 emitted during plant operation. None of the permits analyzed in the report required proof that carbon emissions would be offset.
"Not only do these biomass facilities get to burn trees and waste in the name of reducing greenhouse gas emissions," said Mary Booth. "They also increase toxic air pollution, and they get the public to pay for it."

I just read this a few minutes ago.. I know its past Tuesday but I am sending lots of love and lots of healing energy your way. May you have a speedy recovery..
Sending you love and healing energy Brit :)
Dearest Brit,
I've been away for the summer and just returned to read your post. I hope all went well with the surgery and you are recovering, healing and free of worry. Lots of healing thoughts and energy coming your way :)
xo Froggie :)
Dear friend
I often think to you and will do some " extra thinking" now : ) Sending you love , healing energy and prayers over the ocean.
Love to you,
How are you Brit?
Soft Grin...
I wanted to let you know that Brit is doing well, although she can't wait to get back to work (you know our Brit). Lee and Bj are keeping her off the computer (that must be a task!) and keeping her resting as best they can.
The surgery went fine. She has an incision just shy of three inches in her shoulder, but in true Brit form, she won't take chemicals for pain so is using Arnica and some herbal tinctures and Dr. Wolfe's Good Energy Body Therapy Cream. Lee said the roughest part (aside from keeping her down and quiet) is that she developed a sinus infection right after surgery. I guess trying to use a nettie pot when you can't bend all the way over or twist to the side is a comical sight!
She starts rehabing the muscle on Monday and I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see her back on the computer Tuesday. Maybe Monday afternoon. HaHa.
Thanks, Shirley, for the update. Brit has been in my thoughts and energy work all week. So glad the surgery went well and hope she is not in too much
discomfort while healing. I can't help but chuckle with your description of
the nettie pot! :)
Blessings to you...
Thanks SM!!!!! For the update!!!!!
Thanks Shirley for the update.
Keep healing Brit! Sending lots of Love...
Love and healing
Thanks for the update Shirley.
Brit, sending you Love and Healing thoughts.

Milwaukee GM Doug Melvin Gives the Brewers A Chance To Still Make Playoffs
9/15/08 in MLB | CriticalFanatic | respect
Clearly, Milwaukee Brewers GM Doug Melvin read my post this morning on Ned Yost and decided to wait no more.
Yost has been fired and will be replaced by third base coach Dale Sveum.
As outlined this morning, the Brewers had a 5 1/2 game lead at the start of the month, and while the Cubs opened the door to the NL Central lead, Milwaukee has lost three of 14 games in the first half of September. Worst of all, the Brewers were swept over the weekend to Philadelphia which has now left both of those teams tied for the NL Wild Card.
Milwaukee begins a three game series at Wrigley Field Tuesday night with CC Sabathia facing off against Ryan Dempster. A great opportunity for interim manager Sveum to change the team's poor attitude and momentum.
Will the Brewers end their 26-year playoff drought now that they'd rid themselves of Yost?

Hellllooooo? Anyone home?
Come on Terrainmonkey--you can't promise me a map a day (or a few a week) then jilt me, pal! Let's get posting here. Chop chop!
yeah, sorry about that. girl problems and all. here's another one i'm working on. the first part of the rebel caverns. this was originally a hand drawn scan, so here goes.
ok, so here's a new week. had a crazy weekend involving too many women, too much booze, and a lot more fun than any man should ever have. that being said, the first one is a set of caves, not spectacular, but you see where i'm going with this. i don't know if its done, or not. anyone has any ideas, let me know. i left off the numbers so it could be used for anything i guess. anyway, here goes.
this time, with grid pattern. each square is 10 feet.
I have a HUGE soft spot for hand-drawn maps, so you're right up my alley here! I do not, however, like that the edges of the caves you've drawn have "gaps" in the black; not sure if you intended it this way, but it seems the black coloring has not gone completely to the edges.
Glad you're back on the mapping horse!
yeah, about the discrepancy between the fill and the cave wall lines. i really was in a hurry with this one, and i just wanted the bases covered. the walls are rough hewn rock, so these areas could represent rock falls, shelves, and other stuff. when one is putting it on a battlemap, you wouldn't have to worry about the walls, and would only have to worry about the dimension of the room and where everything was in relation to the grid. i'm still working on this one, but also, i'm trying to get the map for Knight's bridge finished. that's going to be hand drawn too, so that's pretty much what this week's maps will be, then scanned into corel and modified.
I'm not sure if it's just me, but I find myself looking at the black bits as the centre of attention, they really leap off the map. Might be worth trying a white fill instead of black, that might lead the eye to the cave floor? Or maybe a light grey or something. Otherwise I really like the tunnel shapes - very natural.
here's an update, now that i had a few minutes to monkey with it.
okay, so it's been a few days, but weekends are rather busy for me. so here's a little hand doodle i scanned in and modified. i originally called it "Caves of the Brine Overlord" because it came to me off the top of my head and i thought it sounded cool. if that's been used already by someone in the gaming industry, sorry. not trying to infringe on copyright or something you see.
anyway, take a look. tell me what you think. i tried and tried to make maps in different styles, but the more i do, i always come back to hand drawn. odd, that.
on the map below, i accidentally deleted the number 6. not really hard to see what room that is. (its the one with the number missin', innit JP?)

On Writing While Privileged
Made rebloggable by request:
Anonymous asked: Hi Foz, I was wondering if you have any advice (or links to advice) for writing characters that are coloured/trans*/otherwise oppressed in ways that you aren't, without venturing into appropriation of experience or being otherwise insensitive? I've seen people on tumblr reblog commentaries saying that the thing to do is write oppressed characters to be interchangeable with privileged characters, but I feel like if I'm writing (for example) about POC living in a predominantly white area then they'll necessarily have a different history and relationship with the area - And similarly, while I don't want the stories to be about their colour/transness (I just want to write urban fantasy with diverse protagonists), I don't want to minimise or erase the harassment and violence these groups suffer either.
Answer: I think some of the best advice I've read on this topic comes from this post here - you should read the whole thing, but in condensed form (I've edited out the para breaks and omitted relevant ellipses to highlight the core argument) what it says is this:
In response to the complaint of white writers about writing about people of color: "Damned if you do. Damned if you don't," I want to say: absolutely. You're damned either way. If you don't do it, you're a racist. If you do do it and get it "wrong", you'll get reamed, and rightfully so. Further, if you do it and get it "right", or rather, don't get it wrong, you'll still get reamed by members of that culture you've represented who rightfully resent a white writer's success representing their culture. You're a white writer trying to do the right thing, but no matter what you do, it's wrong. And that's so unfair to you, isn't it?
Welcome to a tiny taste of what it's like to be a person of color.
In a nutshell: while it's incredibly important to try and write oppressed/non-privileged characters respectfully, don't start out from a cookie-seeking position. If you can't stand the thought of being criticised for your efforts, then you're missing the point of why you should try to begin with. (I'm not saying this is what you're doing, BTW: I just thought it was important to mention.)
Good sources of advice include:
- Nisi Shawl on Writing the Other
- N. K. Jemisin on Describing Characters of Colour
- Cheryl Morgan's Trans, Bodies and Art, and also her essay on Changing Images of Trans People in Science Fiction and Fantasy Literature
- Malinda Lo on Writing From the Gut, Not Fear of Prejudice, and also her essay on Heteronormativity, Fantasy and Bitterblue: Part 1 and Part 2
- This post by pfdiva on describing black people without reference to white people
- Fatihah Iman on The Bechdel Paradise of a Muslim Woman's Life
- The World SF Blog, which has a great archive of essays, rountables and interviews on non-western SFF writing
There are many more great resources out there, if you look: as a good rule of thumb, and while there are certainly some excellent essays written by privileged persons, they're no substitute for the first-hand accounts, advice and opinions of non-privileged people for whom the issue is a personal rather than intellectual exercise.
Finally, and in response to the advice you've been given so far: as important as it is to acknowledge the oppression experienced by non-privileged groups in the real world and to incorporate that into your writing, it's also important to write POC/QUILTBAG characters whose narrative arcs aren't defined by the obstacles they face because of who they are. This doesn't mean writing such characters to be interchangeable with privileged characters, as that's just another form of erasure; rather, it means letting them have the same kind of adventures and primary focus as privileged characters, but without compromising or eliding their identities. At the same time, though, if you're writing about POC characters in a secondary world, an alternate world or an SFnal future (for instance), then there's no reason to replicate the prejudice of our current society - you can start from a blank slate and build a world where your POC characters don't experience racism, or where there's no culture of transphobia. That doesn't elide the reality of oppression in the real world - it helps to reinforce the idea that such oppression is neither inevitable nor a societal default.
Anyway, hope that helps, and happy writing!
ETA: Have just noticed the asking anon refers to POC as coloured in the original question; that's… not a good slip to make, or for me to have missed before. So make sure to keep an eye on language, too: even when certain terms sound alike, that doesn't mean they're interchangeable or equally benign.

DENTON — The Denton City Council, after a marathon meeting that included about seven hours of testimony where impassioned citizens talked about the dangers of fracking, voted early Wednesday morning to allow residents to decide if they want to ban the controversial drilling method.If passed by the voters on the Nov. 4 ballot, Denton would become the first city in Texas to outright ban hydraulic fracturing, which involves pumping water, sand and chemicals at high pressure underground to break up rocks and release oil and gas.The council's vote came shortly before 3 a.m., after about 100 speakers, a few tearful, stated their views. City officials estimate that about 500 people attended the meeting, some watching the proceedings on close-circuit TV in other parts of the building."The whole community is frustrated," Mayor Chris Watts said after hearing about half of the speakers, some of them saying they had gone to state regulators and others for help. "People tried the channels they thought would be the proper channels to get relief, only to find out, in the end, there was little relief."Councilman Kevin Roden said the decision to put the ban on the ballot doesn't mean the fight against fracking is over, even though the ban was backed by 59 of the 110 speakers who signed up to address the council. Another 161 people who attended the meeting signed cards supporting it. "I do fully anticipate, if we pass the ban, or the citizens do, that we will see the wrath of the industry and it will be costly," Roden said during a break.The hearing was the result of a successful petition drive by the Denton Drilling Awareness Group, which gathered almost 1,900 signatures calling for an ordinance to ban fracking. The council was required to hold a public hearing and vote on the proposal. In the end, on two procedural votes, the council decided to put the referendum on the ballot.After an agonizing discussion in which the council opted not to impose the ban, and initially rejected the ban in a 5-2 vote, they then immediately voted unanimously to put the matter before voters.Roden, along with other council members, worried that the campaign over the next few months will bring in big money from an oil and gas industry spoiling for a fight."This isn't going to be a city vote. This is going to be national politics," Roden said. "It is going to be David versus Goliath."State officials and industry officials warned that a ban is likely to lead to a long and expensive legal fight. Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson said the state is a mineral owner in the Barnett Shale and within the city of Denton and that he has a fiduciary duty to protect those interests. His agency manages state resources and pumps the money into the Permanent School Fund. Patterson sent a letter to Mayor Watts before Tueday's council meeting saying his agency opposes the fracking ban."I'm not sure the city has the authority to do this under the laws in Texas," Patterson said in an interview with the Star-Telegram. "We want to lease and produce our mineral interests and we will not be held up by a city ordinance no matter how it comes about."Former Texas Supreme Court Chief Justice Tom Phillips said the ordinance would be illegal."I don't think public policy allows for a municipality to decide if there will be no drilling," Phillips, who represents the Texas Oil and Gas Association, said in an interview with the Star-Telegram."The state has a strong policy in favor of oil and gas development. … To completely ban it we think runs afoul of the law."Spirited debateDenton is in the middle of the Barnett Shale, which lies under in a large chunk of North Texas, and is one of the nation's biggest natural gas fields. While fracking's widespread use has greatly boosted domestic oil and gas production, it also has sparked controversy and growing opposition, including moratoriums in New York state and several cities in Colorado and California.Fort Worth, Arlington, Denton and other cities have struggled with urban drilling. Denton, which has 275 active gas wells within the city limits — and another 212 within its extraterritorial jurisdiction — imposed moratoriums in 2012 and 2013 as it overhauled its drilling ordinances. But the idea to simply ban fracking came from Denton Drilling Awareness Group. Its members were frustrated with drilling and fracking near homes. While the city established a 1,200-foot setback from residences, schools and parks last year, a provision still allows drilling within 250 feet of previously permitted well sites.The group was concerned about natural gas drilling's effect on public health, welfare and safety including the injection of water, gels and acids into aquifers as well as the venting of gas, noise issues and site security.But the proposed ban championed by the group would prevent only additional fracking from taking place. It would not stop a traditional well from being drilled within the city, although drilling proponents said those wells aren't productive.Roden said before the meeting that after the initial drilling was done in Denton by the bigger operators like Devon Energy and Chesapeake Energy, the "vultures of the gas drilling industry, who have much smaller operations and need to cut costs," have come in to "drain the previously untapped reserves."Maile Bush told the council that the drive to ban fracking was a grassroots effort of "people of Denton who are standing up for Denton."Bush, who said she is the mother of two small children, said she lives near drilling sites and that her kids have headaches, nosebleeds and coughing fits. Bush is convinced her kids illnesses were caused by the fracturing."I'm just a mom and I have a duty to protect my children," Bush said. "If the industry does not think [those health problems] are not fracking related, they need to prove it."Fracking is a dirty and dangerous practice by an industry that puts profits before people."She told the council that it has "the opportunity to be on the right side of history" by imposing the ban.On the other side, state Sen. Craig Estes, R-Wichita Falls, told the council there are no definitive studies showing that fracturing has polluted groundwater or caused health problems to anyone living near a well."I think it would be unwise to ban this procedure," Estes said.Randy Sorrells presented the council with petitions with 8,000 signatures gathered by a group called Denton Taxpayers for a Strong Economy that supports "responsible drilling regulations" that will "protect the economy and the environment" but not ban fracking.Sorrells, who has three traditional wells on his land that could not be developed if the ban is adopted, said his group is also concerned about the millions of dollars the city would spend defending the ban in court.Industry lashes outIn anticipation of Tuesday's meeting, state officials, industry groups and others lashed out.Barry Smitherman, chairman of the Texas Railroad Commission, sent a letter to the city calling the measure "essentially a ban on drilling" that is "extremely misguided."If other cities follow your lead, "we could potentially, one day, see a ban on drilling in Texas," he wrote.A study conducted by the Perryman Group said the ban would cause potential losses of $251.4 million in economic activity over 10 years and more than 2,000 jobs and reduce tax revenues by $5.1 million to the city. The study was commissioned by the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce."A ban on fracturing in the Barnett Shale is a ban on drilling," said Ed Ireland, spokesman for the Barnett Shale Energy Education Council, an industry group that also sponsored Perryman's study. "There is some worry that it will spread.""It is such an attack on individual property rights that a lot of people are very concerned about that kind of action," Ireland said.In an interview with the Star-Telegram, Phillips said the ban faces a several legal hurdles. One is that the Texas Constitution says no law shall contain any provision that contravenes laws passed by the Legislature. He said the Natural Resource Code states that "mineral resources of this state be fully and effectively exploited."Then there is the "taking" of someone's rights to sell or develop their mineral rights, he said. Even if there are provisions that allow drilling, if it is too difficult that is considered a ban.Roden scoffs at the dire economic predictions made by Smitherman and others. He said the amount of jobs in the city related to oil and gas is less than 1 percent. He said the money to be made on fracking in Denton has already been made."I don't want our citizens going into this issue to be scared that the economy is going to drop out," Roden said earlier in the week."There is a boldness to be the first Texas city to go out on this limb," Roden said. "Denton is symbolic to them [the drilling industry]. I fully expect if this ban goes through — with a citywide vote — the coffers are going to open up to unleash litigation on us."

Access ""I second that VMotion," say replication vendors"
This article is part of the Vol. 7 No. 10 December 2008 issue of What's in store for storage technology in 2009?
virtual servers are forcing storage administrators to address data protection processes, such as replication, in new ways. And replication vendors are finding new avenues for their technology by leveraging VMware's VMotion technology. VMotion, which has been around since the early days of VMware ESX Server, allows an administrator to migrate virtual servers from one physical host server to another. "If you're going to move from Chicago to New York, it's going to take some time for those two systems to sync," says George Pradel, director of strategic alliances at Vizioncore, which makes tools to enhance the server virtualization platforms from VMware and other hypervisor vendors. "VMotion syncs the memory between the two servers and then hands over control of that virtual machine to the receiving server," says Pradel, a one-time VMware systems engineer. "The advantage of VMotion is that the system is never out of production." But VMotion has its limitations. For instance, "VMotion is great if your ESX host goes down, or if there's a hardware problem and you ... Access >>>

EAFE Index
Definition of 'EAFE Index'
An index created by Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) that serves as a benchmark of the performance in major international equity markets as represented by 21 major MSCI indexes from Europe, Australia and Southeast Asia. This international index has been in existence for more than 30 years.
Investopedia explains 'EAFE Index'
As of February 2007, equities from the Japanese stock markets made up around 25% of the index, of which Japan is the largest index component.
Many investors use the S&P 500 as a benchmark to assess the performance of an investment portfolio. This is an appropriate benchmark for American stocks. The EAFE index is often used as a benchmark for the performance of an investor's international equity investments.

The Milwaukee Brewers slugged their way past the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim 11-8 on Thursday. Milwaukee plated 4 runs in each of the first two innings. Yuniesky Betancourt ripped a three run home run in the first inning and Carlos Gomez had a run scoring triple in the second. Randy Wolf got touched for four runs on six hits over 5 and a third innings but picked up the win. Starting third baseman Casey McGehee left the game in the first when he was struck in the knee by a pitch. X-rays were negative but McGehee is listed as day to day. He becomes the 9th projected opening day starter to miss time in spring training. Manager Ron Roenicke said Thursday it's looking unlikely for catcher Jonathan Lucroy (broken finger) and outfield Corey Hart (oblique strain) to be ready for opening day next Thursday in Cincinnati.

Fresh Strawberry Pie
Photo: Linwaite
Community Recipe from
- 3/4 cup(s) sugar
- 4 tablespoon(s) cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
- 3 pint(s) strawberries
- 3 drop(s) red food coloring
- 1 pie crust
- Sweetened whipped cream
- Combine sugar cornstarch and salt in saucepan; stir in 1 1/2 cups water. Crush 15 strawberries add to sugar mixture. Cook over low heat until glaze is thick and clear, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in food coloring. Pour hot glaze over strawberries; turn strawberries are fully to coat evenly. Pour into Pie Crust; refrigerate until ready to serve. Spread pie with whipped cream; garnish each serving with sugar-coated strawberry, if desired.
- (I usually cut strawberries in slices or quarter them, they fit into the pie pan better, and they are easier to eat.)

What a fabulous experience we had at the Carriage House! Our 2 night stay included a lovely, comfortable, clean room with two really spectacular breakfasts. The front porch is wonderful where one can experience the sights, sounds, and smells of the seashore. The hosts are friendly and accommodating. This vacation was really a treat, and the Carriage House was a big reason why. Highly recommend.

This was my husband and my first time choosing a Bed and Breakfast getaway. We found it to be very relaxing and enjoyable. The house was beautiful and very comfortable. The owners Kathi and Phil were friendly and served a wonderful healthy delicious breakfast. We would visit again.
4.6 on June 11, 2014
We had an absolutely wonderful time. Phil and Kathi run a comfortable and relaxing place. The breakfasts are superb and quite filling. It certainly was a home away from home atmosphere, except that someone was there to take care of you. Hoping to go back sometime.

Beautifully decorated B&B. Each room has AC unit in the window. Guests have access to a lovely kitchen 24/7. Best part was the beautiful breakfast. Ideal for a mother- daughter beach weekend getaway.

My wife and I stayed here recently, and we thought it was really great. The owners, Kathi and Phil, are both very nice and helpful. Breakfast was delicious--a different quiche each day, and some other tasty options, including some fantastic croissants. We stayed in room 8, which has a queen sized bed, a small sitting area, fireplace, and private bathroom. Free wifi was included, and the TV had all the premium cable channels--HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, Starz, etc.--so we were able to catch up on all the Dexter episodes on Showtime that we've been missing up in NYC due to the Time Warner/CBS dispute. The Carriage House is two blocks from the beach, and they have beach chairs, boogie boards, umbrellas, and towels that can be borrowed for the day. They also sell reduced price beach passes for $5 instead of the $8 that you pay at the beach. A very quiet, relaxing place for a vacation--we look forward to returning.

We stayed at the Carriage House from 7/15 to 7/18. Everything exceeded our expectations. Kathi and Phil are gracious hosts. Phil's lunch and dinner recommendations were excellent. Breakfast was superb...home made croissants, quiches, blintzes. Highly recommended and we will make the trip from Kansas again!

We had a beautiful stay, clean and friendly. But the best part of our stay was the breakfast. Real personal touch.

Phil and Kathy were incredibly, warmly welcoming and offered everything and more. Perfect location - one block to the beach. Incredibly delicious and varied foods for breakfasts, better than 5 star restaurants! Extremely military and veteran friendly. Beautifully decorated rooms with everything you need. Superb recommendations for nearby restaurants. We'll be back!!

Tuesday was media day at the Super Bowl. The San Francisco 49ers were up first and Randy Moss declared himself the best wide receiver of all-time while deposed starting quarterback Alex Smith called his trip to the Super Bowl "bittersweet." The Baltimore Ravens were next and retiring linebacker Ray Lewis drew the most attention during his team's hour-long session. Reports surfaced that the star linebacker may have used a banned substance to help him recover from his torn triceps this season. Lewis wouldn't give much of a response when asked about the Sports Illustrated story that broke Tuesday.

Top 10 Halloween Costumes For Guys
Keep in mind that the level of difficulty for costumes ranges from 1 to 5 pumpkins, 5 being the most difficult.
Number 10Zoolander
Level of Difficulty:
Requirements: The male model "look," oodles of gel to spike your hair, and the most fashionable clothes in your wardrobe to make any male model blush.
Who are you bound to attract?: Malibu Barbie wanting the number of your agent.
Number 9Hannibal
Level of Difficulty:
Requirements: The main thing is to get your hands on any mouth mask and you will pretty much be good to go — no one will dare to ask who you're dressed up as. But if you really want to go for high impact, take a small metal strainer drainer, leave a piece of meat hanging from it, and use a leather strap to hold it around your head to scare the living daylights out of people (yes, you can use fake meat).
Who are you bound to attract?: Madonna, who'll request that you remove your mouth mask so she can be your next victim.
Number 8Village People
Level of Difficulty:
Requirements: Anyone could be one of the Village People. Go for the whole nine yards and find 5 other courageous friends who will dare join you as the Indian, the G.I., the Biker, the Construction Worker, the Cop, and the Cowboy. Depending on who you will be, you will need anything ranging from feathers, army boots, a construction hat, handcuffs, to a cowboy hat. But first you will have to pull straws to see who becomes what.
Who are you bound to attract?: The Spice Girls; they'll want to have a song and dance competition. So give them what they want, what they really, really want.
Number 7Dracula
Level of Difficulty:
Requirements: A long black cape, white makeup, preferably fake blood, fangs, black pants, white shirt, proper jewelry, and Clorets to fend off the garlic.
Who are you bound to attract?: Elvira asking who your make-up artist is.
Number 6Wilson ( Home Improvement )
Level of Difficulty:
Requirements: You have two choices: take carton and cut it in the shape of a fence to cover your lower face; or take Popsicle sticks and glue them together to recreate a fence. Either way, you will be a riot at any party you go to, but you will have to get creative to drink, socialize or kiss anyone there.
Who are you bound to attract?: A belly dancer, who'll ask if you can swap veils.
What are the top 5 costumes?

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Disgruntled Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall missed the last hour of Sunday morning's practice after pulling up with an apparent hamstring injury while running a deep sideline route.
Denver Broncos
2008 Statistics
Receptions: 104
Yards: 1,265
Touchdowns: 6
Marshall sat out the late afternoon session as well.
Marshall hobbled to the sideline during the morning session, tossed his helmet and dropped to the grass. He didn't return to action, staying on the sideline a few minutes before limping to the trainer's room.
Broncos coach Josh McDaniels said after the morning practice that he wasn't sure how bad Marshall was hurt.
Marshall has experienced another drama-filled offseason, this time complaining about his contract and requesting a trade four months after appearing in his first Pro Bowl.
Marshall has made several spectacular plays at camp so far, showing no ill effects from offseason hip surgery.

Dorgali is a quaint township located only a few short kilometres from the coast, on the breathtaking Italian island of Sardinia. As the landscape around the settlement is extremely divergent and mountainous, the region makes for the perfect holiday getaway if you're interested in outdoor activities , adventure or some much needed time away with the family in your very own Dorgali holiday apartment. Accommodations enjoy glorious settings, some with an ocean view, and all Dorgali holiday apartments are well maintained and furnished for a comfortable stay.
Whilst you may be dubious about the quantity and quality of attractions and activities that a small Sardinian settlement might offer, Dorgali will soon put your mind to rest, with plenty of different outdoor, artistic and historic pursuits available right at the doorsteps of Dorgali holiday homes.
-Hiking is a fantastic way to spend venture out as the region around holiday apartments in Dorgali plays host to some of the island's best hiking trails. Gola Su Gorropu Canyon is one such location, which allows you to wander 10.5 kilometres through a ravine that boasts 400 metre high limestone cliff walls. Walking through the canyon is an amazing experience as the towering walls all but block out the sun once you're inside!
-Wine tasting is another great holiday pastime on Sardinia, with numerous superb wineries dotted around Nuoro Province. The Gostolai Winery for example, is a relatively small operation, situated a mere 21 kilometres from Dorgali, which produces a number of mouth-watering red, white, sparkling and dessert wines; all of which are available for tasting. If none of these wines are to your taste however, you can simply move on to one of the other numerous establishments in the area, sampling as you go.
-The Grotta di Ispinigoli Cave is a definite must-see as this amazing tourist attraction is situated a mere 9 kilometres from holiday villas in Dorgali. The appeal of the Grotta di Ispinigoli is in part, the fact that it is home to Europe's tallest stalactite-stalagmite compound, which stands an impressive 38 metres high. The fact that ancient artefacts and human remains have also been discovered here however, certainly adds to the mystery of the site.
-The beaches around Dorgali are a little different to typical Mediterranean coastal regions, as in addition to pristine white sand and crystal clear water, they also boast limestone cliffs, which sport breath-taking caves and arch structures. Cala Gonone is one such beach, which also allows you to try your hand at water sports such as kayaking, diving and fishing.
-The historical sites located near Dorgali are absolutely amazing, with locations such as the Tomba Dei Giganti S'Ena E Thomes (The Tomb of the Giants), situated extremely close by. This amazing archaeological gem is the remains of an ancient burial chamber that is said to date back to before Christ. Whilst in the area you may also like to visit the nuraghic village of Serra Orrios.
Dorgali generally experiences a typical Mediterranean climate, which results in warm, mostly dry summers, and damp cool winters. The best time to secure a Dorgali holiday apartment is consequently between May and October, as you are then guaranteed to see the island at it's very finest.
Dorgali is most easily reached from Olbia Airport, which is located roughly 100 kilometres north of the town, although all three of Sardinia's international airports are within a 210 kilometre radius of Dorgali. Once you touch down at your preferred arrival point however, you may then opt to cover the distance between the airport and your Dorgali holiday accommodation by taxi, shuttle bus, public bus or rental car.
