2012 BMW 650i Convertible Review
By Kirk Bell of MSN Autos
Bottom Line:
The 2012 BMW 650i convertible is a world-class grand tourer that can be both sporty and supple. It's as quick as some higher-strung sports cars, but it is easier to live with on an everyday basis. The new look adds a touch of modern style to the always desirable BMW roundel.
In the exclusive world of luxury convertibles, a car is like a new suit. It had better have the right label and the right cut or you'll look like you don't belong. The BMW 6-Series convertible has always had the right label, but with an aging design, the cut of its jib, so to speak, hasn't been, well, cutting it in recent years.
For 2012, BMW is remedying that problem by giving the 6 an elegant new design — inside and out — as well as a powerful new engine. Consequently, the 6-Series is at the forefront of automotive fashion once again.
Model Lineup
Priced at $90,500, the 2012 BMW 650i convertible comes well equipped. Notable standard equipment includes Nappa leather upholstery, rearview camera, Dynamic Cruise Control, a hard-drive-based navigation system with real-time traffic, AM/FM/CD stereo with HD radio, Dynamic Driving Control, Bluetooth connectivity, a power tilt/telescoping steering column, BMW Assist telematics system, xenon adaptive headlights with auto-leveling, and P245/40R19 run-flat tires on alloy wheels.
Options include a Driver Assistance package with automatic high beams, lane-departure warning, blind-spot detection, side- and top-view cameras, and a heads-up display; a 16-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system with a USB port; Integral Active Steering with rear steering; 20-inch wheels with performance tires; Active Roll Stabilization; NightVision with pedestrian detection; and BMW Apps, which can access Facebook, Twitter and Web radio, as well as certified third-party applications.
Under the Hood
The 650i also employs brake-energy regeneration, which disconnects the alternator during acceleration and charges it during deceleration, thus saving fuel. Fuel economy ratings are 15 mpg city/22 highway with the 6-speed manual and 16/24 mpg with the automatic.
When it arrives, the M6 will use the same twin-turbocharged V8 engine that makes 555 horsepower in the current X5 M and X6 M.
Inner Space
Among BMWs, the 6-Series may have the highest-quality interior materials. Soft-touch surfaces abound, the Nappa leather is supple, and the Gray Poplar or aluminum trim add to the appeal. The look and feel is even better with the available $1,500 leather-covered dashboard.
BMW's iDrive control interface is standard, and it comes with a large 10.2-inch dashboard screen. Given the numerous navigation, communications and entertainment possibilities, it eliminates the need for a sea of dashboard buttons. However, the tradeoff is that drivers have to dig into the system's menus to find the right function. A series of buttons surrounding the main rotating control knob make accessing the various controls easier, and we found it fairly easy to use after a bit of a learning curve. Commonly used functions — such as navigation addresses, phone numbers or radio presets — can be even easier to access thanks to eight programmable buttons. The system also includes a 12-gigabyte hard drive that can hold thousands of songs.
The standard soft-top is also of high quality. When up, it shuts out wind and road noise as good as any hardtop we've driven. It's easy to use, too. It lowers in 19 seconds, raises in 24 second, and can be operated at speeds up to 25 mph. Why a soft-top and not a retractable hardtop? A retractable soft-top takes up less trunk space than a hardtop. Even so, the trunk is still on the small side. But it will fit a set of golf clubs. A Cold Weather package adds a rear-seat pass-through with a ski bag, as well as a heated steering wheel and heated seats.
On the Road
Some optional technology can make the sporty handling even more responsive. Active Roll Stabilization firms up the anti-roll bars to make the already flat cornering attitude even flatter. BMW's Integrated Active Steering electronically varies the steering ratio to make it quicker and more responsive at low speeds and slower and more stable at high speeds. It also comes with rear steering, which turns the rear wheels up to three degrees in the opposite direction of the fronts at low speeds to reduce the turning circle and steers the rears with the fronts at speed to increase stability.
With its nearly perfect weight balance, quick steering and inherent agility, the 650i is a fine grand tourer that is just as at home cruising the boulevard as it is carving up twisty canyon roads. While the car is pleasingly solid, there is a bit of cowl shake, especially with the top down.
The twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine makes great sounds and even better power. It vaults the 650i from zero to 60 mph in just 4.9 seconds and tops out at an electronically limited 155 mph. We did detect a slight hesitation before power delivery. It's not annoying, but it didn't seem to go away no matter which Driving Dynamics mode we chose.
Although we didn't drive the standard 6-speed manual, we did drive the 8-speed automatic and found it to be smooth and responsive, though occasionally hesitant to downshift without a serious stab at the throttle.

Conditions of the watermelon juice fermentation process that must be optimized include: optimizing the temperature of the process, finding the most robust and productive yeast strain, establishing the fermentation time to reach maximal yield, establishing which antifoaming agent is most efficient and at what level, and determining the optimal pH for the process. Our plan is to grow and process watermelons here at the Lane Ag Research Center, Lane, OK to produce lycopene. We will utilize the watermelon juice from this processing as the direct feedstock for ethanol production experiments. Likewise, various chemical and enzyme treatments will be evaluated for breakdown of rind tissue to its constituent sugars for subsequent fermentation. Only under carefully controlled conditions can processes be developed that can be scaled up to industrial levels. A commercial bench-scale fermentor is critical to these experiments in order to be able to reproducibly adjust and control conditions.

For the second straight day, the Oakland Raiders have retained a player on an exclusive rights tender. Yesterday, it has linebacker Kaelin Burnett and today, it is tackle Matt McCants. The exclusive rights tender allows the Raiders to keep players with two or fewer years in the NFL at a veteran minimum salary without them being able to negotiate with other teams. McCants signed his tender to remain in Oakland for 2014.
The 24 year-old McCants proved to be a valuable depth option and spot starter along the offensive line in 2013. With the team dealing with a bevy of injuries to offensive linemen last season, McCants took his opportunity and proved his worth. He appeared in 13 games for Oakland, making three starts at right tackle.
McCants was a sixth-round pick by the New York Giants in the 2012 NFL Draft out of Alabama-Birmingham. He made it to their final cuts, but was released and placed on the practice squad. He spent a season on the Giants practice squad, before the Raiders signed him to their practice squad last season. The 6'5", 310 pound tackle, was activated to Oakland's roster when Jared Veldheer went on injured reserve with torn triceps.
The three games McCants started for the Raiders in 2013 came in the middle of the year against the San Diego Chargers, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Philadelphia Eagles. Oakland was able to win two of three and rush for more than 100 yards in each. He will be a back-up right tackle in 2014, looking to compete for a roster spot. Raiders head coach Dennis Allen was impressed by McCants last season. He will get an opportunity to grow and develop, while providing much needed depth along the offensive line.

Prophetess Furtch was born to parents, Marshall and Emma D. Davis. She is the 12th of 14 children. She received
a prophecy at the age of 16 from an evangelist that said, she would marry a young minister and they would have a great ministry.
It happened!Prophetess Furtch is a power-packed, and seasoned woman of God who walks in a great anointing.
She is a licensed and ordained minister of the Gospel. She is a national evangelist. She conducts Prophetic, Healing,
and Anointing services in churches of various denominations. She is highly sought out to preach and minister in conferences.
God has blessed her to get out the Gospel message of His saving, healing, and delivering power via television. The telecast
can be seen in the Fort Worth, Texas area, and is entitled, "Women of Power." She is on the Genesis Television
Network with her husband, and their program is simulcast around the world on the internet.She graduated with a
Bachelor of Science degree in Education. She is a teacher and Educational Consultant specializing in Reading Curriculums.It was prophesied to her that God said that not one word that is spoken by her as she speaks prophetically shall fall
to the ground. It is happening!
Meet the Staff
This page gives us the opportunity to introduce our Pastor and First Lady.
He received Jesus and was baptized by Pastor O.L. Lipscomb at the age of 9. At the age of 24, he accepted his call
into the gospel ministry under the leadership of Pastor J.W. Wallace. Dr. Furtch's first pastorate was
in Detroit, Texas at the Union Baptist Church, and he was there 17 years. God began to use him mightily in 1984 in the
healing ministry. He would lay hands on the sick and pray, and God would heal them. In 1990 there was another
milestone. God called him into the miracle ministry. In that Sunday morning service, he prayed differently and
layed hands on no one. He commanded sickness, diseases, and infirmities to leave the people as they stood at the altar.
To his amazement people gave testimonies of being healed from back problems, arthritis, and many other diseases. He has a television ministry which can be seen in the Ft. Worth, Texas area. He also has a television program
along with his wife on the Genesis Television Network, entitled "The Anointing Destroys The Yoke". He now
pastors THE ANOINTED CHURCH in Ft. Worth, Texas, where the presence of God is made manifest in every service. People
come in sick and are healed at their seats. There have been testimonies of people being healed of cancer, heart
problems, high blood pressure, carpal tunnel syndrome, lupus, diabetes, lymes disease, and other diseases. He operates
in the five fold ministry and all nine gifts of the Spirit. He graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Personnel &
Human Resources Management from East Texas State University, a Master of Theology degree from International Seminary, and
he graduated Cum Laude with a Doctor Of Ministry degree from University of Biblical Studies & Seminary. Dr. Furtch
is married to the lovely and powerfully anointed Prophetess Rosetta Davis-Furtch, and has three daughters: Mia, Rosalind,
and Galatha.
Dr. Furtch was born to Edward and Mae Dell Furtch. He is the brother of Pastor Erie D. Furtch. Before starting
to public school, he would often be found in the living room beating on the coffee table shouting the 24th Psalm. "Who
is the King of Glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle,etc." At the
age of 4 years old, Dr. Furtch was strickened by a sickness that made him unable to walk. The doctor said that he would
never walk again. One night he went to bed and his mother knelt at the foot of his bed and prayed. The next
morning when he woke up, Jesus told him to put his feet on the floor, stand up, and walk. Before this, he would not
have been able to put his feet on the floor because of the pain, but that morning was different. He walked into the
kitchen where his mother was singing, and when she saw him, she shouted, cried, and rejoiced!
We look forward to seeing you as you come by to be in one of these powerfully anointed services.
Come expecting to experience God's manifest presence and power in the service. See you this week!

Google has conducted many focus groups and research studies over the years. Do you know what one of the most frequently requested improvement has been? It is to show more than 10 search results per page. Most folks want to see as many as 20 or 30 results per page.
So why hasn't Google listened to their audience?
Because Google did conduct a test with a small group of people. And it failed miserably.
Google VP Marissa Mayer once conducted a test where a group of people saw 30 results per page instead of the default 10. But by tracking this group, she found that the revenue Google earned from them dropped by 20%. Not only that, but the number of searches these people ran dropped by 20% too. Overall traffic dropped by 20%.
When Marissa started digging in deeper to find the cause for this, she found an uncontrolled variable. The page with 10 results took .4 seconds to generate and load. The page with 30 results took .9 seconds.
The delay of half a second caused a 20% drop in searches and traffic.
Page Load Speed matters a lot online.
The slower your website load, the fewer pages your audience will read. And the quicker they will leave.
Whats more, these days – the search engines also take page load speeds into consideration while determining where to rank you in the search results. Everything else being equal, a website that loads faster will out rank the one that takes a bit more time.
So how do you make your website load quicker? There are a lot of simple and complex things you can do to optimize your website's page load times. But keeping the 80-20 Pareto principle in mind, here are 3 things that you can do for free to make 80% of difference.
3 easy things to do that will optimize your page load speeds
1. De-Clutter.
Clean up your website. Delete elements not needed. Only retain the absolute essential elements of your website. You don't need 20 different social media buttons. You don't need archives that go back 5 years.
Here is what you should do: implement an analytics tool that has the heatmap feature (such as CrazyEgg). And which shows what people click on on your webpage. And get rid of the sections with low click through rates.
2. Optimize your image sizes.
Reduce the size of your images. So that they load quicker, and as a result – your page loads quicker too.
A good tool to do this is: smush.it. You can use smush.it to optimize multiple images together too. And best of all – it's a free tool!
(If you use WordPress, you can use the smush.it for wordpress plugin too.)
3. Use caching.
If your website is powered by a content management system, you should use some sort of caching. With a content management system, your database is called every time a person visits your website – and your webpage is created on the fly. But if you use caching, your website will create the content only once instead of every time a new person visits your website. It really removes a bottleneck by creating static pages out of the content – and makes your website load a lot quicker.
(If you use WordPress, you could use the W3 total cache plugin.)
More page speed optimization tactics
These 3 solutions should play a lions share in optimizing your website loading time. But if you want to dig in even deeper, then here are 2 tools you can use:
- YSlow plugin: http://developer.yahoo.com/yslow/ (a plugin you'll have to install to your browser)
- Google Page speed online tool: http://pagespeed.googlelabs.com/ (an online application)

We had hot, steamy...beef burgers.5 Reviews
Sleepover round Spencer's house.
I am very sorry for the delay.
Reviews would be nice, to let me know i haven't lost all my readers.
Everyone who reviewed the last chapter is amazing.
I fiddled and tweaked my hair repeatedly, studying it in the mirror for seconds at a time only to decide it wasn't good enough and took the hair elastic out to repeat the whole process of putting it up again.
You are ridiculous I told myself, as I studied the final result for the umpteenth time. The only reason I even cared about getting it perfect was because of him being there.Like he'll even notice...come on, you wouldn't normally get this fussy over a boy. Just leave it and-'Ryan.' I said, immediately dropping the messy strands of hair which were falling out from my ponytail.
'Hey, mind if I join you?' He said walking into the open bathroom, holding up a toothbrush.
I shook my head dumbly.
'So what do you think of Rob and Ginger?' He said with half a smirk as he applied toothpaste to his toothbrush.
'Robbie and Ginge rock my world.' I smiled. 'Spencer's so lucky to have parents like that. I mean his mom bakes- actual cookies and everything. I didn't know those kind of moms really existed.'
I caught Ryan giving me what looked like a shadow of sympathy from behind his eyes which I hastily ignored. Thankfully, he didn't say anything because his mouth was currently filled with toothpaste.
'Which one is Spencer's?' I asked, motioning to the different types of toothpastes lined up on the sink shelf.
Ryan handed me a mint one with a messy container and I squeezed the paste out onto my toothbrush.
I can't believe how conscious I'm feeling about brushing my frigging teeth in front of him.
We brushed together in silence for a while. I brushed and brushed until the paste was literally water in my mouth. I stood with my arms crossed and my mouth tightly shut waiting and waiting for Ryan to finish and spit for the last time.
'Hey, there's something I should tell you...' He began 'Oh sorry, am I hogging the sink?' He asked, looking at me in the mirror.
'Ah oh uhuh ih im umma oo'
'You don't want to spit in front of me?'
I shook my head.
He looked amused. 'You're so funny' he said 'you're going to have a bit of problem if I just feel like chilling here for a while then.'
'Ah ole' I mumbled as he leant back on the sink and smiled. He was seriously too cute sometimes.
'am onna im ihs'
'No you're not.' He said smiling, standing up and pinching my nose gently, but still tightly enough to stop the oxygen going in.
'Ah ih on oo' I said, creasing my eyebrows and staring him in the face.
'You wouldn't' He said challengingly.
I pouted my mouth and stared him down, but I bailed at the last second and leaned over the sink to not so gracefully spill my contents there instead.
'See I knew you wouldn't.' He said smugly 'and I think you're forgetting the fact that I've seen you throw up and then collapse on me before.'
'Oh yeah.' I mumbled. 'In that case...'
And for some reason I spontaneously bent down, tucked a stray strand of hair behind my ear and licked his arm with a white toothpaste-y tongue before skipping off back to Spencer's living room where the five of us were bunking for the night.
When I returned to the living room, only Brendon currently occupied it, kneeling beside his sleeping bag and fluffing his high stack of pillows. I floated over to the sofa where my sleeping bag was already set up on and collapsed down upon it. There had been a lot of disagreement over who should get the two sofas, but in the end the boys kindly (and kind of dismally) agreed to let the girls (being me and Kate) take them.
'You're welcome.' Brendon sang, with his back to me.
'Why exactly?' I asked.
Brendon rolled his eyes as if it was obvious. 'Look' he said, indicating to the bedding formed at the foot of the sofa I was lying on. 'I told Ryan the bathroom was free and offered to do his bedding for him. Now you can gaze upon his peaceful face all night long.'
I groaned. Ever since we got here, Brendon hasn't stopped ''subtly'' trying to get me and Ryan next to each other, or coming out with random outbursts of how 'pretty' I am which has only resulted in a few questionable looks.
'Not that I don't appreciate all this, err...effort, Brendon, but I've told you; I don't like him that much and I'm fine with the way things are at the moment. Maybe it's just best you forget the whole thing.'
'No way, I can't forget something like this' He said. 'I think you two are meant for each other.'
'He has a girlfriend.'
'Well she's not here is she?'
'That doesn't change anything.'
'It changes everything' He said 'So did you have a hot time in the bathroom?'
I sighed. 'Yes Brendon, we had hot, steamy...'
'...beef burgers' I said, scratching behind my neck as Ryan walked in.
'Who had beef burgers?' Ryan asked innocently.
'I did.' I said 'Last night. For dinner.'
'I thought you decided to become a Vegetarian a few days ago?'
'Oh' I said, lamely 'Whoopsie.'
'You ate meat!?' Brendon exclaimed 'I can't believe you. You're the worst vegetarian ever.'
I refrained from slapping a hand to my head.
'Yes I am' I said through greeted teeth 'Sorry Brendon.'
'She tried to become a vegetarian when she was 14 too but forgot and ate a sausage roll.' Ryan said, climbing in to his sleeping bag as I looked at him, alarmed.
'Me and Spencer listened to a bit of yours and Kate's conversation when you slept round.' He shrugged.
Brendon laughed.
'I can't believe you listened to our conversation!'
'I can't believe you licked my arm' He said, lying down.
'Eaves dropper!'
'Arm licker!'
'We have mattresses!'
We all turned to look at Kate and Spencer entering, carrying three fold up mattresses between them.
'You could have told me that before I had arranged my teddies.' Brendon groaned, as we laughed at him.
'I've just gotten comfy.' Ryan pouted.
'Well more comfort for me then' Said Spencer, piling them on top of each other and laying sprawled out upon them.
'No fair.' Brendon said, trying to pull one out from underneath him.
After Brendon finally got his mattress, and Kate had Spencer had got into bed, we all eventually fell silent and said our goodnights to each other.
'Goodnight Spencer.'
'Goodnight Brendon'
'Goodnight Kate'
'Goodnight Brendon'
'Goodnight Ryan.'
'Night Brendon'
'Goodnight Steph.'
'Goodnight Brendon'
'Goodnight Kate'
'Goodnight Spencer'
'Goodnight Steph'
'Night Spence'
'Night Ryan'
'Please. Shut up.'
_ _ _
'I am so sorry.' I groaned, lifting my head up and cringing.
'It's alright. I'm OK.' Ryan said from underneath me.
I tried to wriggle off him, but it's a hard task when you're entrapped in a sleeping bag with no zip, and you're wedged in-between a coffee table and a sofa. And I couldn't exactly wriggle backwards or forwards because we could both end up in far more awkward positions.
'OK, I'm a little stuck, but it's alright...' I whispered, looking side to side and upwards, in hopes of an escape root, but there was none. 'Ryan, I'm in a bit of a predicament.'
The situation was quite unfortunate and rather embarrassing, but as soon as we both realised how silly it all was we burst into stifled laughter. He was taking being woken up in the middle of the night by my body crashing down on him a lot better than I would have thought.
'I could try and sit up, but I don't want to hurt you.' I said.
'You're as light as a daisy' he said 'I'm sure I'll be fine. I would help, but you have my arms trapped.'
After a lot of careful wriggling, shuffling, and elbowing Ryan a fair few times, I finally managed to get myself into a sitting position, and Ryan undid his sleeping bag slightly, sat up and helped lift me onto the sofa.
'Well that was an adventure.' Ryan said yawning and lying back down.
'I'm sorry for waking you' I said.
'It's OK, I was already awake. Do you often fall out of bed?'
'Occasionally, it's a bad habit.'
'Aren't you meant to grow out of that as soon as you get past the age of 5?' He teased.
'I am 5' I said simply 'Why were you still awake anyway?'
He put his arms behind his head and shrugged. 'Thinking.'
I pondered this and a thought came into mind. 'Ryan' I whispered, bending over the edge of the sofa slightly to peer down at him. His eyes glistened in the darkness and looked up at me. 'What happens when you and Kate go home tomorrow? You know; together, at the same time.' I said, hoping he would catch my drift.
He did. 'Exactly what I was thinking about.' He sighed. 'With some luck, he'll be out all night with some whore and won't get back until morning anyway. Then maybe we can hang around Spencer's for a while so he'll already be home and asleep before we go back.'
'And if he's not?'
'I don't know.'
'I could call my mom and arrange something for you if you'd like' I said jokingly but dryly.
'Sorry' He said 'I completely forgot, I didn't mean to offend you.'
'Trust me, you didn't. She is a whore, plain and simple.' I yawned 'Oh well. Whatcha gonna do?'
'It must be weird for you.' He mused quietly.
'It's alright; she's getting a job at the firm come Monday so hopefully it'll lessen the amount of strange perverted men she brings back to our house.'
We fell silent; him probably not knowing what to say. I wasn't sure whether he was asleep yet or not, but with nothing to lose I whispered 'I'm sure I could preoccupy her somehow whilst you go home and sort your dad out.'
He didn't reply for a few seconds, so I assumed him asleep, but he eventually whispered 'Thank you. That would be really helpful.'
I was all ready to go back to sleep, when another thought entered my mind.
'Hey Ryan, what was it you needed to tell me earlier?'
'Oh' he said 'Um, another time.'
'Yeah, sure.'
'OK' I said bemused and intrigued 'Night Ryan.'
'Goodnight Steph.'

Hamamatsu enhances IR sensitivity by MEMS structures
Recently Hamamatsu has announced a number of silicon-based sensors with enhanced NIR sensitivity.
These sensors are said to utilize MEMS structures fabricated by using "unique laser processing technology" to achieve a significant enhancement of NIR sensitivity. Another explanation of MEMS action is on Electro Optics site: "Using unique laser processing technology, MEMS structures can be fabricated on the silicon surface, which act to reduce reflections and increase the surface area of the active element. This process drastically increases the sensitivity in wavelengths longer than 800nm."
In case of BSI FT-CCD the MEMS structure is formed at the backside and NIR extension is somewhat less than in the PIN diode case, see Figure 2 (Hamamatsu NIR CCD)..

Dave Bing recall, Detroit, Michigan, 2009
|Historical recalls
|Recall news
|Recall laws
Bing took office in May 2009.[1]
On November 3, 2009 Bing was elected to full term as Detroit mayor. A recall petition has not been submitted.[2]
Reasons for recall
Recall threats began when Bing announced the possibility of deep budget cuts in light of the city's current financial status. Included in potential budget cuts is the possibility of a reduction in bus service, but the cut has been yet been confirmed. In regards to the possible recall and budget cuts Bing said, "We know that we have to make changes. Then when you come out and say, 'Well, here's some of the changes we're thinking about.' People say, ... 'That's going to impact me. It's all right for you to do something as long as you impact other people, but not me.' And that's not the way it's going to work." Bing added that he believes he has inherited the worst situation but is dealing with it and letting residents know exactly how bad the situation is.[3]
On August 28, 2009, Bing announced layoffs of 205 Detroit city employees.[4]

Taxpayer foots bill for BNP minder
The Sunday Times by Daniel Foggo | Sunday, 18 October 2009 | Click here for original article
NICK GRIFFIN, the BNP leader, has put his personal bodyguard on the European Union payroll as his party becomes the latest to exploit the political expenses system.
A dozen senior figures from the party make up a BNP entourage of publicly funded assistants. As MEPs, Griffin and Andrew Brons are entitled to claim a combined £382,000 a year to pay for their colleagues' salaries.
Martin Reynolds, a 20-stone bodybuilder who is head of security and Griffin's bodyguard, said he "honestly didn't know" why he was justified in being paid by the taxpayer.
He said of his job: "I just do the security side of it and personal assistant stuff and generally looking after him and making sure things are done for him."
Griffin and Brons are also channelling payments to other "assistants" including Simon Darby, the BNP's deputy leader, Eddy Butler, its national organiser, Emma Colgate, its national administration officer, and a number of regional organisers and councillors. Some have not been openly declared as working for either MEP and others have unsavoury backgrounds.
Martin Wingfield, former editor of the BNP's monthly newspaper, Voice of Freedom, is being paid as an assistant by both Griffin and Brons. He served a three-month prison sentence in the 1980s for failing to pay a fine following convictions on two counts of inciting racial hatred with election literature.
Adam Walker, head of Solidarity, the BNP's supposed trade union, is being paid through Brons's funds. Walker had to resign his teaching post in 2007 after being accused of posting anti-Muslim comments on the web using a school laptop.
All the BNP hierarchy's new salaries, which go up to £25,000 a year, are allocated out of a personal £191,000 a year "assistants' allowance" to which every MEP is entitled.
EU rules state that assistants must justify their taxpayer-funded salaries by doing work which is "directly linked to the exercise of a member's parliamentary mandate".
John Walker, the party's deputy press spokesman, confirmed that he was being paid £18,000 a year in taxpayers' money. He also receives £6,000 a year from the party.
"I am expected to do two days a week for Andrew and two days a week for Nick. And then the other day … is for the party," he said.
Walker added that the BNP was "sensitive" to the fact that the rules emphasise all work must relate to the MEP's role and not the party.
When Reynolds was asked what "specifically" he does for his EU salary, he said: "I honestly don't know."
He added: "I never got paid before, all our security was done for no payment whatsoever. I was an electrician." He declined to say what his pay is now.
He said he was not sure if he also received a salary from the party: "I don't know the ins and outs of my finances, my wife sorts all that out."
John Thompson, the BNP's accountant, said the party's MEPs were using about half their full allowances and explained that the level of salary varied. "The top level might be £25,000 and the lowest £8,000," he said.
Walker said: "I suppose we are going to publish the breakdown [of taxpayer-funded salaries] but whether they will go as far as individual remunerations I don't know."

I purchased this for my 5yr old granddaughter and day 1 roses began falling off 3 so far. The interior material is not lined in any way so it irritated her skin. This was not worth the price, both she and I were disappointed. Not sure at this time what to do at this time, I failed to mention the crown was completely crushed when received.
love it, my daughter loved it she is 7, she looked lovely!
Dress was beautiful on my granddaughter. A little tight in the sleeves. But overall the fit was good. Quality was good too.

New Hampshire Civil Rights Bill Passes Legislature
The New Hampshire Senate today approved a civil rights measure to ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. The bill passed the House on May 1, and Governor Jeanne Shaheen (D) has pledged to sign the bill. When it becomes law, New Hampshire will become the tenth state to ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. The last state to do so, Rhode Island, signed their measure into law on May 20, 1995. The other eight states are Wisconsin (1982); Massachusetts (1989); Connecticut and Hawaii (1991); California, New Jersey, and Vermont (1992); Minnesota (1993).
The following statement is attributable to Kerry Lobel, Executive Director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force (NGLTF):
"The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force commends the New Hampshire legislature for recognizing that discrimination is wrong. Today's vote sends a signal that New Hampshire values and respects all its citizens. We applaud Governor Shaheen for her commitment to fairness and pledge to sign the bill.
It is encouraging and inspiring that New Hampshire has passed this measure of fairness while lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered people in other states are being attacked by divisive legislation in record numbers. The success of local activists in New Hampshire points to the importance of coming out and organizing on the state and local level."
For more information about the bill, contact Mo Baxley of the New Hampshire Coalition to End Discrimination at 603/224-1686, or visit their web page at http://members.aol.com/caglr.
The mission of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is to build the political power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community from the ground up. We do this by training activists, organizing broad-based campaigns to defeat anti-LGBT referenda and advance pro-LGBT legislation, and by building the organizational capacity of our movement. Our Policy Institute, the movement's premier think tank, provides research and policy analysis to support the struggle for complete equality and to counter right-wing lies. As part of a broader social justice movement, we work to create a nation that respects the diversity of human expression and identity and creates opportunity for all. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., we also have offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis and Cambridge.

The future, as seen in the 1980s I remember these ItalDesign show cars (Asgard, Aspid, Aztec)—and the controversial "service panels" on the side. (The original idea was for the cars to have an Audi V8 and parts of those engines sticking out—but when it failed to materialize, Giugiaro made to come up with Plan B using the Audi turbocharged five. They still strike me as being compromised, 25 years later.)

Mathematics Mission and SLOs
BA Mathematical Sciences

2014 Spring Forum Webinar
*Redefining Differences though
Education, Empathy, and Empowerment *
Please release the hold date for the 2014 NCPEN conference in Charlotte. Due to budgetary constraints and scheduling issues of many of our members, we have decided to host an online webinar from 12-1:30 pm on May 20th instead. So please join us on May 20th for the online webinar and NCPEN update.
Log in details will be forthcoming, but we are pleased to announce that Dr. Nichole Huff, Assistant Professor and Extension Specialist at NCSU, will be presenting a talk entitled, Redefining Differences though Education, Empathy, and Empowerment.
For many of us, it is common work with families that have children with unique abilities and special challenges. This training is designed to help professionals have a better understanding of how to work with families that have children with differences. Redefining Differences is an initiative to train professionals to better serve individuals and families with special biopsychosocial needs. A biopsychosocial model is one that acknowledges the distinct yet interdependent roles that a person's biological, psychological, and social systems play in their overall health and functioning.
Join us on May 20th from 12:00-1:30 PM for this distance education program. This program is designed to: (1) To educate professionals on special needs and/or non-normative, biopsychosocial differences that may exist in their communities; (2) To assist professionals in fostering empathy and understanding in their communities regarding these differences; and (3) To provide professionals with empowering instructional techniques that may be applied when serving individuals/families experiencing cognitive, physical, or emotional differences.

So I've been looking at the 2009 hate crime statistics for the US. I've gotten myself into a little internet snit regarding antisemitism (an issue rather important to me as a Jew) and how it pops up regularly in criticism of Israel in the form of demonization of Israelis, delegitimazation of Israeli nationhood, and the use of a double standard when focusing on Israel's abuses (basically what's outlined here). Anyway, my sparring partners (not Jews, mind you) insist that antisemitism is rare in criticism of Israel, and the majority of the commentary and rhetoric surrounding Israel is a-okay. Never mind that comments insinuating (sometimes outright declaring) Israelis are genocidal Nazis undeserving of any Jewish homeland are par for the course in any comment thread pertaining to Israel. Never mind that discussing the bare concept of a Jewish homeland is taboo in many liberal circles.
America has an unacknowledged antisemitism problem. In 2009, 1,132 Jews were victimized for being Jewish. There are just over 5 million Jews in America. 1 Jew for every 4,660 was a victim of a hate crime in 2009. In 2009, 1,482 individuals were victimized for their sexual-orientation. By the most conservative estimate, queer individuals (such as myself) account for ~3% of the human population, meaning ~9,500,000 Americans are queer, and 1 of every ~13,415 queer americans was the victim of a hate crime in 2009. There are almost twice as many queer americans as there are Jewish americans, yet Jews are victims of hate crimes at a far higher rate per capita. Jews and queer individuals are victimized along completely different axes of oppression in our society, and I would argue that people who are queer face far greater challenges day to day than (white) Jews (certainly I've gotten a lot more shit over the course of my life for being "too" effeminate than for being Jewish), but the point I'm trying to make is that there is an undertow of unacknowledged antisemitism flowing in American culture. It's insidious. So many of us look like and enjoy the power of America's white majority that it is very easy to deny antisemitism's existence. Poof, it's gone. America is post-antisemitism. Never mind that antisemitism is cyclical, and has always worked by letting Jews get ahead and then violently setting us back in our place when the real ruling class says we have too much power to distract from their own excessive power.
This, of course, does not relate in any direct way to how we talk about Israel. But I think it is expressive of a blind spot Americans have when it comes to antisemitism. It isn't immediately obvious in America today, so it must not exist. It enables so many otherwise liberal, tolerant individuals to call Israelis, representatives of the only Jewish state in a world that still overwhelmingly persecutes Jews, genocidal Nazis without flinching. I don't think most people who make such comments are active antisemites, but such comments certainly make me feel ill and unsafe. Their commonness and the denial of their antisemitism make me worry about the future for Jews in America. It wasn't long ago that white-supremacists tried to kill my grandfather for being a prominent Jew, and it wasn't long before that that his family was forced to flee pogroms in Poland. It wasn't so long ago that my father was asked how he hid his horns. Things are relatively good today for White Jews in America, and we get more than our share for being White - I worry about tomorrow, though (and maybe a bit about my safety today, should I find myself in a city without a large Jewish community, having looked at those hate crime stats).

The waters opened; the waves rolled up, curled, rolled into wreaths and hooks and drops of foam, which flecked the dark green curves with silvery bells. First appeared a living dragon with fire-darting eyes, long flickering moustaches, glittering scales of green all ruffled, with terrible spines erect, and the joints of the fore-paws curling out jets of red fire.

Sony Hacked Again, Attacks in Thailand and Japan
Posted on Monday, May 23 @ 12:52:01 Eastern by Nicholas Tan
Hackers have attacked a Sony website in Thailand with a link to a fake site claiming to be an Italian credit card company to trick people into disclosing their credit card and personal information. Most people probably won't fall for something that looks like a dumb pop-up, but Sony's So-Net Internet service provider was not as lucky.
The system was infiltrated by hackers, who have laid claim to about $1,225 worth of virtual points from account holders, prompting So-Net to put out a statement:
Sony has officially become the new playground for hackers who have nothing better to do...

Love And Black Magic
LOVE AND BLACK MAGIC by ROBERT GRAVES
To the woods, to the woods is the wizard gone; In his grotto the maiden sits alone. She gazes up with a weary smile At the rafter-hanging crocodile, The slowly swinging crocodile. Scorn has she of her master's gear, Cauldron, alembic, crystal sphere, Phial, philtre---'Fiddlededee For all such trumpery trash!' quo' she. 'A soldier is the lad for me; Hey and hither, my lad!
'Oh, here have I ever lain forlorn: My father died ere I was born, Mother was by a wizard wed, And oft I wish I had died instead--- Often I wish I were long time dead. But, delving deep in my master's lore, I have won of magic power such store I can turn a skull---oh, fiddlededee For all this curious craft!' quo' she. 'A soldier is the lad for me; Hey and hither, my lad!
'To bring my brave boy unto my arms, What need have I of magic charms--- Abracadabra! and "Prestopuff"? I have but to wish, and that is enough. The charms are vain, one wish is enough. My master pledged my hand to a wizard; Transformed would I be to toad or lizard If e'er he guessed---but fiddlededee For a black-browed sorcerer, now,' quo' she. 'Let Cupid smile and the fiend must flee; Hey and hither, my lad.'

El Paso, TX — El Paso boxer Jennfier Han (10-3-1) may have been the victim of some biased judges Sunday falling to Ji-Hye Woo in the IFBA featherweight championship in Haenam City, South Korea.
Han appeared to lead the 10 round bout that went the distance but the judges felt the hometown Woo would retain her belt.
In the 7th round, a cut opened over Han's right eye suffered by a left jab from Woo but was not bad enough to stop action. Jenny was clearly in better shape down the line as Woo collapsed to the mat multiple time in exhaustion.
Jennifer's fight started at 1am Mountain Time and televised on South Korean tv Channel A.

FOX 13 crews found that stores that were closed on Thanksgiving were attracting lines of people just before they opened their doors.
But elsewhere, extended Thanksgiving shopping hours meant much smaller Black Friday morning crowds than years past.
Business was much more brisk at the Toys-R-Us in Clearwater, where customers were able to walk up to open registers. The Target on Waters Avenue in Tampa had a moderate amount of cars in the parking lot. Inside, there were only small numbers of customers.
Five hundred people were wrapped around the Target at midnight, and after that, business died down. FOX 13 Alcides Segui said he saw only a couple of people in the entire store around 6 a.m.
"Our guests were excited to come in for those door busters. Those first four or five hours are when we see our biggest rush. Then we see a period of calmer times…then we see more people around 8 in the morning," one Target team leader told us.
FOX 13's Chris Chmura asked shoppers, is Black Friday dead?
Several said yes.
"Some employees were asking, 'come check out with me because we're bored!' " said shopper Sandy Martin.
Shoppers are expected to spend an average of $420 over the next four days.

Just before Christmas two new battery powered electric buses started on London's roads and in a few months time two more will start as part of a TfL trial.
This might seem like a dramatic development, but in reality London is falling behind many other cities in the adoption of buses run entirely on electricity.
Electric buses create no exhaust pollution so can play a big role in tackling London's dangerous levels of air pollution. They are quiet so lead to more pleasant roads for people living on bus routes. Electricity is also cheaper than diesel fuel, so in time could lead to cheaper bus fares.
With all these advantages London should be leading the way, but instead we are on catch up with many other cities in the UK and around the world.
The mayor's obsession with the diesel powered 'new bus for London' has sadly hindered the development of truly new and green buses for London. The so-called 'new bus for London' is expensive to buy, expensive to run and is still more polluting than an electric bus.
At the start of 2014 let's hope that we start to see a big switch to electric buses across every part of London.

Check-In, Part 2
The last post left on with Casting, which is arguably the most exciting part of check-in day.
Emily, Deena (roommates), Amanda (new-found friend), and I took the bus over to the Casting building, which is directly across the street from Downtown Disney. The bus ride was fun because first of all, it was air conditioned, and secondly a Cast Member gave us an entertaining overview of what was to come.
Check-In, Part 1
An incredible amount of things happened today, so I'll try to write them all down! I'll go in order of today.
The plan last night was to get up at 5:50 AM to get ready and be out the door ready to go at 6:30. That did not happen. The hotel alarm clock never went off, but thank goodness my mom set an alarm on her cell phone a little after six. In a little bit we were dressed, but not completely ready to go and I looked at the clock and saw it was already 6:30!
We're in Orlando!
*I wasn't able to connect to our hotel's Internet last night, so sorry this is late!
I am in Florida, mere miles from Walt Disney World! Today got off to a rough start. I was alright this morning until it was time to say goodbye to my cat. I kind of lost it and then felt like I didn't have time to properly say goodbye to her and my house.
We loaded up my car with our five suitcases ready to drive an hour to the airport. About five minutes into our journey when we got on the highway the car started to jerk.
Tying Up Loose Ends
It's all coming to a close now. Tomorrow I fly down to Florida and get ready to start my Disney College Program. Crazy, right?
Today has been a little rough. I slept a maximum of four hours last night because I had so much nervous energy. I finally got out of bed at seven and went to breakfast with my best friend at ten.
Attempting to Pack…
In the process of packing right now. Well, trying to pack. I'm almost done with clothes and about to start figuring out toiletries. I have a feeling I'll need to use space bags for the one pair of sweatpants and two (at least it's two right now) sweatshirts I'm bringing.
Last Minute Shopping!
Do you know how hard it is to start packing? Super hard. My mom and I decided to take it one thing at a time and attempted to pick out my Traditions outfit this morning. It did not go very well.
But, Peter, How Do We Get to Walt Disney World?
Fly, of course! Well, that's how I am at least. From where I live, it would be a 24-hour drive if you never stopped. There's also the train, as well as a train that runs out of Virginia (I'm not sure if there are more) that acts like a ferry and loads up your car. Unfortunately, that takes a four hour drive to Virginia and then all of the train travel time.
Those aren't very attractive options when a plane ride is only four hours. So needless to say, my mom and I are catching an afternoon non-stop flight to Orlando on Sunday, the day before I check-in.
Roommates, Disney Style
Making It Official
After you get your acceptance into the DCP, you have to accept the offer. Disney gives you ten days to do this, which is a pretty good amount of time.
I got my acceptance email on a Tuesday, but decided that even though I knew without a doubt that I was doing the program, that I would wait until Friday to accept. I wanted to have my mom with me when I did it so that I knew that she understood everything and to double check that I understood everything.

Snoop Dogg Presents Dubstep L.A. (iTunes Version)-2013
Description: The offices at the top of the Capitol Records building in Hollywood are home to
some of Southern California's most awe-inspiring views. Through the circular glass that adorns the iconic edifice, you can see the plush landscapes of some of the world's most lavish neighborhoods.

It's this dichotomous picture that provides a fitting backdrop for Calvin "Snoop Dogg" Broadus and his new label home high atop the cylindrical landmark. As the Creative Chairman of EMI's newly reintroduced Priority Records, Snoop will oversee a hefty catalog chock full of gangsta rap anthems (NWA, Eazy E, Master P, Ice Cube) that launched from the streets and infiltrated even the highest suites.

1 Be Like Me (Snoop Dogg & True Tiger)
2 Smoke Some (Problem & Dream)
3 Speaker Pop (Soopafly & 16Bit)
4 Feel Me (The Hustle Boyz & Gemini)
