Moana Maree Maniapoto MNZM (born 22 June 1961) is a New Zealand singer, songwriter and documentary maker.[1] Widely considered as one of New Zealand's most successful indigenous acts,[2] her music is described as a fusion of traditional Māori haka, chants and taonga puoro, with contemporary soul, reggae and classical styles.[3]
Maniapoto was born in Invercargill, New Zealand[3] and attended St Joseph's Māori Girls' College in Napier.[4] She is said to have paid her way through law school by singing covers in the highly competitive Auckland club circuit.[3]
In 1987, Moana released "Kua Makona", as part of an effort to show New Zealand youth the consequences of alcohol abuse. The song featured in the RIANZ Top 50 singles chart.
In 2002, Moana formed Moana and the Tribe which consisted of a large group of musical performers who promote Maori culture. Since their formation, the band has performed worldwide at over 120 international concerts, cementing their reputation as one of the most successful indigenous bands to emerge from New Zealand.[5] Prior to 2002, Moana's former band, Moana & the Moahunters released two albums, Tahi and Rua.[6] Their feminist anthem Black Pearl reached no. 2 on the national charts in 1991, earning Moana her first gold.[3]
Moana won the grand prize at the 2003 International Songwriting Competition with her song "Moko".[7]
Moana has developed a high international profile, being described as 'brilliant' by The Beat (USA, 2004),[citation needed] 'New Zealand's most exciting music export' (Marie Claire, 2002),[citation needed] 'music of great depth and beauty' (New Zealand Herald, 2003)[8] and gaining rave reviews from one Germany's more critical columnists in its largest daily newspaper (Süddeutsche Zeitung 2002, 2004),[citation needed]
In the 2004 Queen's Birthday Honours List, Moana was appointed Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit.[9] She is also a Life Time Recipient of the Toi Iho Māori Made Mark and received the 2005 Te Tohu Mahi Hou a Te Waka Toi Award from Te Waka Toi (Creative N.Z), in recognition of her outstanding leadership and contribution to the development of new directions in Māori art. Moana received a Music Industry Award at the Maori Waiata 2008 Awards, also for her positive contribution to Māori Music.[3]
In 2006, Moana and the Tribe completed a 25 gig tour of Europe and had the distinction of being the first New Zealand band known to have performed in the former Soviet Union - playing at a private party hosted in Moscow's First Club, then at Le Club.[citation needed]
Moana released her fourth album Wha in May 2008.[1] She toured in 2008 and 2009 Germany, Australia, Netherlands, Turkey, New Zealand and performed at the opening of the Biennale in Venice / Italy in June 2009.[citation needed]
Moana is one half of an award-winning film-making team led by her partner and band member Toby Mills. Their documentary work includes Guarding the Family Silver, which screened in the National Geographic All Roads Film Festival and The Russians are Coming, which played at the Sydney Opera House during the Message Sticks Indigenous Film Festival in 2012.[5]

With all the TV legends who've died lately at ripe old ages, sometimes one can forget that death doesn't always visit people when they're old and gray. Such is the case for reknowned celebrity chef and Food Network Canada host Anthony Sedlak, who passed away last Friday at the entirely too young age of 29.
Sedlak was found dead in his Vancouver apartment on Friday evening. Police have stated that no foul play is suspected in Sedlak's death, and no criminal investigation will be forthcoming. Obviously, 29-year-old men don't just drop dead of natural causes, and one would have to assume that Sedlak had some type of medical condition that brought on his demise. For their part, Sedlak's reps and co-workers are unaware of any medical problems that he was suffering from, so that means that either Sedlak didn't know he had the health issue that killed him or he simply kept it private. It is currently unclear whether an autopsy to determine Sedlak's cause of death will be conducted or not.
Sedlak is best known for fronting the Food Network Canada series The Main, a show that featured the chef preparing a different specialty dish each week, with each culinary treat focusing on one main ingredient. Prior to that gig, Sedlak represented Canada at the World Junior Chef Challenge in New Zealand, where he won a silver medal. He also competed in and won Food Network Canada's "Superstar Chef Challenge".
The family of Anthony Sedlak has released a statement thanking fans for their condolences, and plan to hold a private funeral service in Vancouver soon.
Anthony Sedlak, 1983-2012

If drugs or drug paraphernalia are found at the scene, that information usually comes out pretty quickly. Also, the latest reports are that it was indeed an undiagnosed health condition.

Editorial Reviews
Library JournalA first novel, Rutherfurd's sweeping saga of the area surrounding Stonehenge and Salisbury, England, covers 10,000 years and includes many generations of five families. Each family has one or more characteristic types who appear in successive centuries: the round-headed balding man who is good with his hands; the blue-eyed blonde woman who insists on having her independence; the dark, narrow-faced fisher of river waters and secrets. Their fortunes rise and fall both economically and politically, but the land triumphs over the passage of time and the ravages of humans. Rutherfurd has told the story of the land he was born in and has told it well. The verbosity of a Michener is missing, but all the other elements are present, from geology and archaeology to a rich story of human life. Highly recommended. BOMC alternate. Andrea Lee Shuey, Dallas P.L.
School Library JournalYA This sprawling novel follows the fortunes and losses of five families from the Stone Age through the present time. Each of the families can be identified through genetic characteristics handed down through the agesnot simply physical characteristics, but attitudes and morals, too. There is plenty of action to keep readers motivated to finish the book. Rutherford has a style and energy all his own that should appeal to young readers of historical fiction. This book will be a hit with young adults who have the time and attention for longer works. Mary A. Williams, Harris County Public Library

Sarum based on 0 ratings. 71 reviews.
Its about time this became an ebook! This book is fabulous!
This story of several key families played out through several generations, is intertwined with real history,geography and facinating drama.Incredible, masterful writing from an intelligent and knowlegable research Author who has great vision.A veritable literary 'feast'.I identified with every character, saw every scene, smelled every odor,and experienced every emotion. A large volume that always turns out to be not large enough! As a British person I now know more about my Nation than before.I have read everything that Edward Rutherfurd has written to date. Informative, entertaining and satisfying.. a perfect combination in a book. SARUM has a proud place in my permanent library....
This book is one of the best historical fiction books I have read. It is well written, engrossing and informative. I loved how the characters were well-developed and set among the backdrop of an ever-changing town. A definite must read if you love historical fiction!
This was my first Edward Rutherfurd novel. I'd never heard of this novelist before I chose Sarum. The reason I selected this book was the subject matter. That being both the location of the title and the genre of the writing. I like historic novels because the reader gets fictional characters, events & locations, as well as real characters, events and locations. I suppose all HNs are made of the same type ingredients. That being said, not all Historic Novels are made with this level of writing, wording, researching and entertainment mix with just the right amount of each. Actually, at the time I read Sarum I was somewhat of a novice at the category considered historic novels , but at the time of this review, I've read five more of Mr. Rutherfurd's novels, with several more on the bookshelf. I've both learned from and enjoyed all. I've also little experience writing book reviews. So while my form, verbage and knowledge of the finer aspects of Book Critiquing is limited, I do know when I like and entend to continue reading the right writer for myself.
This was my second reading (and purchase) of "Sarum". The writer's technique is to tell the history as a story about how a family or group of people is living through the various events in a given place. In this case it is Sarum, or Salisbury Plain, which is the locale. There is a similar book called "London" and another called "The Forest" which have different takes on English history.
The first Edward Rutherfurd novel I read and to date my all-time favorite. I love the way he starts at the beginning and goes through history with his characters holding on to their family traits. One family had extremely long toes and it lasted for around 800 or more years. All his books hold my attention and some I just can't put down. London and The Forest were two others like that. Can't wait for Paris to come out.
Rutherford does it again! His fictional tales that weave their way through English history are captivating! I love all of his books and can't wait to read them all. If you love history and stories full of emotion and intrique you will love Sarum!
Sarum is meticulously researched and the author has portrayed it in a way that it complements the story (not an easy thing to do). He's also a brillant author, being able to create novellas (essentially) that each have their own plots and cast of characters, while still having an overall theme.
This novel is one of the major historic works of the past fifty years. Although Rutherford's method may not be unique he has mastered the technique we are more familar with from James A Michener. This is a first novel and traces the history of Salisbury in Wiltshire, England. Starting with the people who were driven south during the ice age and continueing through via Celtic, Roman, Saxon and Norman to modern day. The story is woven around a handful of families.
After thoroughly enjoying Paris, by the same author, I had big expectations for Sarum. although the history flows well, for the most part the characters are uninvolving, predictable and the legthy passages can get trully boring.
Very good read if you are into historical fiction. Only issues I have with the e-book is that the family tree(s) are hard to enlarge and review properly. Also, I find that on occasion, the author tends to delve into minutiae that is not particularly relevant or interesting. But overall, I would recommend to any person into history.
I enjoy historical fiction, and have English ancestry. This book is so enjoyable. A long book to savor.
Just seem really mundane are just didn't hold my interest. I stop around page 560 because it just wasn't going anywhere. some parts were interesting but a lot wasn't.
a memorable historical novel. I read it many years ago but still remember lots about it.
This book tells the story of England from the prehistoric era nearly to the present through the lens of a few specific families. Facts and details of history are cleverly woven with fiction to move you through time. Many of the characters are likable and interesting and you meet many generations. It is interesting to see how the fate or destiny of a family changes completely over time, and how the past for any family it eventually lost to time. Nothing gets remembered forever despite the effort. It really makes you wonder about your own families past. What secrets and surprises lie in your heritage? You will learn a great deal about England. If you are a fan of historical fiction, or just an Anglophile, you will love this book. I look forward to reading his other books about London and other regions of the world. Michael Travis Jasper, author of the novel, "To Be Chosen"
I loved this book and you will too!
Sarum had me hooked from the beginning. Now I have the whole collection to read!
This was recomended by my neighbor Kevin. Excellent read, good story lines with depth, Rutherford bring his characters to life, in novel ways.
I enjoyed the historical and cultural details incorporated into this novel, and the indirect continuity perfectly portrays the reality of human societal progression. If you are historically and archaeologically inclined you will certainly love this novel, however it is not for those who are looking for an alternative to their next Star Trek novel. Piper
This book was a joy to read. It not only explains the core of england's life as we know today but it takes you through the ages. It is really exciting, I couldn't put the book down. I must say that London is another fabulous book by the same author. If you haven't read them be sure to get a copy of both as I know you will really enjoy. Delightful in its depth of research.
First book in a long time I had trouble putting down. Given to me by friends right after we had toured Stonehenge and I had raved about the visit. I intend on reading all of Rutherfords works.

hi there,
is it possible to not use those fancy credit card / paypal gateways and just use a simple:
"transfer xxx€ to the following account, your product will be send to you after the money transfer is registered". ?
Here in germany/europe, it is fairly standard to use this method. But i can't seem to find an option for this in cart66

On this day in 1941, Robert Allen Zimmerman - or, as he is famously known, Bob Dylan - was born in Duluth, Minnesota. From an early age, he had a strong interest in rock and folk music, which led to his career as a singer and songwriter and ascension to the status of music icon.
Dylan signed his first recording contract in 1961, and soon after became prominent in the civil rights movement. Songs like "Blowin' in the Wind," and "The Times, They Are a-Changin'" became powerful anthems of the social struggles and anti-war sentiment of that era. Notably, he sang at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1968.
He was influenced by figures such as Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Little Richard, and was friends with Woody Guthrie, whom he paid visits to in the hospital after Guthrie was diagnosed with a disease of the nervous system.
Dylan was inducted into the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame in 1989. Bruce Springsteen, who spoke at the ceremony, said of Dylan, "Bob freed the mind the way that Elvis freed the body. He broke through the limitations of what a recording artist could achieve and changed the face of rock 'n roll forever."
In May 2012, President Obama presented Dylan with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which recognizes citizens who have made significant contributions to national interests, world peace, or cultural endeavors.
With his music featured in such films as 2009's Watchmen, Dylan and his songs continue to remain popular, even among newer generations of music fans.

From Our Editors
Nestled in a cozy brick building in Kerrisdale, Avenue Grill Restaurant has served a menu's worth of diverse food since the 1920s. The head chef honed his knack for Mediterranean cooking in Europe—reflected in the eatery's Mediterranean sandwiches, with grilled eggplant and zucchini on focaccia—but also crafts pastas, fresh seafood, and three-egg omelettes. An ample wine selection complements Avenue Grill's sundry dishes, and seasonal specials incorporate only the freshest and most polite ingredients. In the dining room, vases filled with flowers top tables and vibrant paintings of blooming floras and lolling hills adorn the walls.

Spliced Jay by Tagami-CrownWatch
©2010-2016 Tagami-Crown
Just made it, hooray! This is my entry for the Splice contest, which sounded like a lot of fun.
This is a weird combination of multiple bird species including blue jays and cardinals, along with the introduction of several insect species' genes, resulting in extra plates of incomplete exoskeletal support as well as lengthening various body segments.

The colors on this bird insect hybrid are amazing!
woah thats awesome O-O the thumbnail looked like it was a sculpture great job!!!!! ^^
it looks really cool!!!!! the colors and design are great DD
good luck in the contest!!! >w<
good luck in the contest!!! >w<
Thank you very much! I was actually somewhat split on my overall feelings for this piece, but I know that when I space things out more, then I can do a better job next time. ^o^ Thank you for the good luck, even though I'm not one of the winners, haha. It's okay because I'll work harder the next time!
Its beautiful 8,D I love the colors used here, and awesome concept indeedly~ *loves those exoskeleton parts nom nom*
Good luck with the contest!
Good luck with the contest!
The exoskeleton parts were the best~! They were lots of fun sketching out and everything. Even though I didn't win, I really appreciate the best wishes. Thank you very much!
Nicely done! It's very intricate and interesting, and very you!
The intricate stuff was lots of fun, once I figured out what exactly I was going to do, haha. I hope to do better next time, whenever I decide to do this kind of thing again, too. Thank you very much!
Oooh, hello there. I'm really enjoying the colors on this, especially the mix of traditional and digital media. I think that's what I'm seeing? I think you've done with the coloring details, too; I think if anyone really just spent some time looking at how you worked with the wing, I think they'd really come to appreciate it. I think it's clever how you got the two toes connected, really keeping true to the insect design. Overall, I think this is really cute; it's something I'd expect to see in an exotic paradise of some sort.
It's technically all digital here~! Any traditional work was done in the sketch phase, but that's where it ends. I'm glad that it looks at least somewhat traditional, though. The feathers were a bit intimidating initially because it's been a while since I've done any art with heavy duty feather stuff, especially for the wings, but that's what research is for. I see you noticed the connected toe stuff, yay! Most insects only have two toes, so I thought to include that in somehow. If something like this really existed, it'd probably eat up all your fruits~!

Afternoon all. I'm again hoping to get 2010 K-1 data to help me project my 2011 UBIT exposure (especially as I'm exposed to a higher degree per share with UAN). I emailed CODI IR asking for the Box 1 number per share assuming a full year ownership, but they just responded with a link to the IR page on the CODI website (well duh...like I didn't start there in the first place!). Since I bought all my positions in 2011, there's no 2010 K-1 for me to access after registering there - and so I'm here begging for help from any of you will to share the data.I really just need to know the Box 1 amount, how many shares are covered by it and the timeframe in 2010 in which you owned the shares. There was a number of $0.07/share bandied about earlier this year, but there was no supporting data so I could be sure if it was for a full-year's ownership.Thanks in advance to anyone willing to share! And for what it's worth, Scottrade definitely does NOT do 990-T filings for you if you own MLPs in IRAs (which I do...in four separate accounts!)
Full year, partial year, 25k shares or 1 share, the answer is the same. $0.00 in Box 1.In one small account, 500 sh acquired 2/10/10 and 500 on 5/4/10, held past YE, $0.00 in Box 1.In another account, a much larger position acquired pre-2010, with a small addition in 2010 and held past the YE, also $0.00.Although you didn't expressly ask as to UBTI, as to the partial year holding it worked out to about $.027/share UBTI and for the full year position it worked out to about $.047/share.I hope this helps. If not, say so and I'll see if I can fill in the gaps.GLTA
Thank you very kindly for sharing that, Mthiker!One more question and I think I'll have covered all the bases that I can:What were the per share numbers, if any, in Boxes 14 and/or 16? (codes B/C?)This blasted economy makes MLPs such a great investment, but the whole UBTI in a Roth issue makes it more effort since the UAN shares in there have no track record and I can only go from prospectus that 50% of their distribution will be income.

Historical Traveler Reviews Sofitel Winter Palace Luxor
Mythic place, amazing garden
Loved the special charm of this hotel. A bit faded it's true but that really sends you back in time.
Staff we though were very helpful and polite, in pure old English style. We even got upgraded in a room with view on the Nile by just asking.
Having the sunset tea on the front terrace is a real experience. Garden is absolutely incredible. Breakfast is complete and of good quality. Our room was a bit small though.
A great experience
Wonderful experiance
you must stay here if you go to luxor but needs to be in the old wing
its more expensice but worth it
its a bit faded glory but that adds to its charm
this is no "boxed hilton"
get a nile view room though garden rooms are nice and have lunch round the pool and dinner in the restaurant in the evening
incredably reasonable not the best food but the whole experiance is very agatha cristy
have been 3 times and loved it more each time
Bad personnel , makes a Bad Hotel. Even the Concierge Tried to rip us off!!
Stayed there during July 2005, No bell boy to pickup our Luggage (We had to carry it trough the stairs that lead you to the lobby.
The personnel of the hotel was hostile since the beggining, first they ask you: are you sure you made a reservation here? (There is anothe hotel called "New Winter Palace", nearby) so you have to prove them you made a reservation there (instead of them looking for your name and reservation).
Then the doors of the rooms are so hard to open and close (Watch our for your belongings!)...you cannot call yourself the best hotel in town if your customers have to spend 15 minutes locking or unlocking the door ...for god sake change the doorlocks!!
After arriving in a 42oC temp first thing you want to do: refresh yourself with purified water (To avoid getting Sick), just to find out that there is no courtesy Bottled Water and Your Minibar is Empty!!.
The concierge....first we requested him a newspaper (he sold us The New York Times of the previous day, and when we told him that he was giving us yesterdays newspaper....he lied to us telling us that that they there was no newspaper, then he said that newspaper arrived to Luxor only some days ......accross the street at a newstand were selling that days Newspaper....
We asked him to purchase for us for train tickets to Cairo and a day later, when we were riding the train we realized he had sold us train tickets for another date (Train tickets are written 100% in Arabic ..impossible to check)...we spent the night moving from empty seat to empty seat.
No internet, horrible breakfast.... try another hotel...go to Aswan...Stay at the Old Cataract it is a Jewel ....
Belong to Sofitel brand ?
Very centraly position in Luxor overlooking the Nile...
Quite a good feeling upon arrival in the lobby... but when we saw the bedroom, ( new winter palace ) we ask ourselves if we where in a Sofitel !
Old and dusty, noisy, the bedroom seemed to belong to a old 70' two stars european hotel !
We immediately asked to move to the "pavillon wing" among the very beautyfull garden: it is a new 3 stars building, annex of the the New winter palace. More confortable, but still under sofitel standarts.
Wonderfull swimming pool (water at 29�) but there, staff not very pleasant...
Very good buffet breakfast, but service still pretty poor...
Not really a good adresse...
Loved it
I loved the old winter palace. My girlfriend and I stayed at the main building on the 2nd or 3rd floor. The room was really nice with a big bathroom, big tub and an excellent shower. Our room had a balcony facing the garden. We spent our New Year eve sitting out on the balcony drinking champagne with chocolates and strawberries. The only bad thing I can think of was paying US$100 per person for the New Years gala party. It was mandatory. You have to pay even if you don't want to go. Make sure you book the old winter palace and not the new winter palace. The same when you are in Aswan.
Best Luxor Hotel
Stayed at the Winter Palace - Garden Wing in December 04 - and after visiting Luxor once before and dining out in many of the Luxor hotels - this it most definately the nicer hotel of them all. The room in the Garden wing was lovely, very clean, nice bathroom and good view over the gardens. The pool area is very peaceful and relaxing, you can forget that you are right in the centre of Luxor. The service at this hotel is out of this world. The hotel is very central and within very easy walking distance of Luxor temple. There is so much to see and do - I would not advise booking trips via the reps as they are a rip off - for example first time in Luxor we paid �36 each to go to Valley of The Kings and other sights on the west bank, but this time we risked hiring an Egyptian taxi driver for �7 and he took us to all the sights at half the cost! This was also a better experience as he took us off the beaten track and we got to see the way of life for Egytians in Luxor. The Egyptian are very friendly and will treat you like a king/queen. The weather in December is ideal - 28 degrees during the day, however the sun sets early @ 5.30pm and the nights can be chilly - and we needed to wear jeans and a sweater in the evenings. However we have also been to Luxor during July - big mistake with temperatures going upto 48 degrees, this made it impossible to go out of the hotel after 1pm and the nights can also be very warm. You will not be dissapointed if you stay at the Winter Palace!
A grand old Lady...
The central hotel position is Luxor is very convenient.
Great views on the Nile. Having a drink outside at sunset is magical.
Restaurants are good, so is the buffet breakfast.
The atmosphere is magical: we're back to the 19th century.
Service is good and efficient.
Some drawbacks (linked with age, i'm afraid...) : rooms can be very nice. We got a very large one last time (thanks to our local guide who negotiated for us !!!)
Prefer rooms on the garden (they are quieter than the Nile view ones).
Some need refurbishment. That's obvious. Insulation between rooms is not wonderful either.
The park and swimming-pool are wonderful.
When we go back to Luxor, I think we still stick to this hotel.
Too magical....
Beyond it sell buy date
This hotel is definitely beyond its sell buy date. . The "Old Winter Palace" has large rooms but is tired and in our view, comapred to the other hotels we stayed in during our recent trip (Oberoi and Intercontinental), is poorely maintained (stained carpets and chipped furnishings) and noisy. The "New Winter Palace" is cheaper but so it should be. In all aspects it is need of huge investment to bring its rooms up to standard and also had the same poor standards of housekeeping. Only the "Pavilion" a reletively new building overlooking the gardens, where we took a suite after a noisy uncomfortable night in the "Old" building was acceptable at a basic level. In frustation we looked at the Mercure Hotel in Luxor which is Accor's lower brand and found it superior in the quality of its rooms and its houskeeping.Accor need to consider the impact of the Winter Palace on their Sofitel Brand.
This hotel is relying too heavily on its past reputation.
Quality hotel in great location
We had heard mixed reports about Luxor and the New Winter Palace Hotel - we stayed over New Year for a week with our teenage daughter. We were very pleasantly surprised - hotel is excellent European standard - especially the Pavillion wing which is modern and very well appointed. Pool is large, well organised for sunbeds etc and very clean, situated in delightful and extensive tropical gardens. Staff could not be friendlier or more helpful. Hotel is French owned and it shows in the food - superb bread and pastries! Other food was excellent too. Location is best in Luxor - right on Corniche - you can walk almost everywhere. Hotel seems fine for women unaccompanied -security is good - there were several resident at the time and all recommended it. We will definitely go back!
Step Back In Time!
Wow! What a fantastic place! It`s like staying in a stately home and is so luxurious. I`ve stayed here twice before and I`m going back again next year. It has got to be one of my favourite places on this planet! The staff are all so helpful and polite and although the surroundings are so grand you are made to feel right at home. The food in both of the restaurants in the Old Wing is wonderful. The only trouble is you need to go on a diet when you get home!!
The palace wing of the hotel is so beautiful. It`s nice just to sit in the grand foyer and take in the atmosphere of the place. There is a lovely lounge where "afternoon tea" is served with a wonderful selction of sandwiches and pasteries, each afternoon. The "Royal Bar" is opposite the Victoria Lounge and you can treat yourself to no end of wonderful drinks, in a lovely setting served by friendly and attentive staff.
It`s a great base to go visiting the local attractions. Luxor temple is literally next door! I hired a wonderful taxi driver, Hamdi, for the trips we went on, which was not only a lot cheaper than booking the same trips through the tour operator, but you have control on how long you stay in a place, so you don`t get a short stop in a place you want to explore and spend most of the trip at a bazzar, papyrus or perfume shop! Hamdi arranged for a professional guide to accompany us on some of the trips when we requested one, which was wonderful. You have their whole attention so you`re not just one in a massive group.
I`d whole heartedly reccomend anyone goes to stay at this hotel at least once in their life time!
I have got details of the taxi driver on my personal website if anyone is interested at http://www.gatewaytoancientegypt.co.uk
Hope you get chance to go yourselves!

- European stocks are mostly in the red, as fears over Greece's future in the euro zone and a fresh multi-year low for oil prices weighed on markets.
- Investors will be watching for data this week that is forecast to show December consumer prices in Europe falling for the first time in five years, adding to the argument for Mario Draghi to extend stimulus.
- The euro fell to $1.1861 on Sunday night, its weakest level since March 2006, as investors bet on the quantitative easing. The common currency last traded at $1.1949.

- Germany wants Greece to stay in the euro zone, and there are no contingency plans to the contrary, Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel says.
- The remarks are an implicit response to an earlier report that Berlin considers "Grexit" almost unavoidable if the left-wing Syriza opposition party wins Greece's election. Syriza wants to cancel austerity measures and a chunk of Greek debt.
- Peter Bofinger, an economic adviser to the German government, also warned against Grexit: "There would be many high risks for the stability of the euro zone with such a step. It would let a genie out of the bottle that would be hard to control."

- Both Chancellor Angela Merkel and Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble believe the euro zone has implemented enough reforms since the height of the regional crisis in 2012 to make a potential Greece exit manageable, said Der Spiegel magazine on Saturday.
- According to the report, the German government considers a Greece exit almost unavoidable if the left-wing, anti-austerity party Syriza led by Alexis Tsipras wins an election set for Jan. 25.

- Eurozone manufacturing PMI remained subdued in December (below a flash estimate of 50.8) at 50.6, but above November's 16-month low of 50.1.
- "Euro zone factory activity more or less stagnated again in December," says Markit. "The weakness of factory output, combined with the subdued service sector growth signaled by the flash PMI, suggests the eurozone economy grew by just 0.1% percent in the fourth quarter."
- France and Italy's manufacturing sector continued to shrink in December, although Germany's figure was in line with earlier flash estimates at 51.2, as more new orders helped lead a return to growth.
- The new data is yet another sign toward Mario Draghi announcing QE at the ECB's next policy meeting.
- Euro Stoxx 50 index is -0.2%, while the euro is -0.5% at $1.2044.

- The euro is starting the new year at 29-month lows after the head of the European Central Bank fanned expectations it would take bolder steps on stimulus this month.
- The currency sank as far as $1.2050, a level not seen since mid-2012, while the dollar notched up a near nine-year peak against a basket of major currencies following its best year since 2005.

- Not much of a surprise considering Fitch downgraded France on Friday, the agency today cuts the credit rating on the European Financial Stability Fund (EFSF) to AA from AA+. The EFSF is one of the vehicles dreamt up by Eurocrats amid the debt crisis of a couple of year ago, and France is among its guarantors.

- The decision on the ECB's balance sheet target was "not unanimous," says Mario Draghi at his post-policy meeting press conference - code for the "Germans are not yet on board for full-scale QE."
- Veterans of the EU debt crisis have seen this play before. The Germans balk, markets tank, Draghi works it a bit longer, the Germans balk some more, Draghi works it even more, the central bank eventually moves forward with additional stimulus.
- Updated ECB staff projections: 2015 GDP growth of 1% vs. 1.6% three months ago. 2015 inflation of 0.7% vs. 1.3% three months ago.
- We're currently in the tanking phase, with the Stoxx 50 (NYSEARCA:FEZ) now lower by 1.3%, led by Italy's (NYSEARCA:EWI) 2.4% and Spain's (NYSEARCA:EWP) 1.9% declines. Germany (NYSEARCA:EWG) is lower by 0.7%, and France (NYSEARCA:EWQ) by 1%.

- Already at multi-year lows, the euro is snoozing through the ECB's revised economic outlook for the EU, with both inflation and real GDP growth expectations notched lower. Though the survey suggests outright deflation as having a low probability, the chance of inflation remaining below 1% in 2015 is greater than 50%.
- "The survey adds to the pressure on the ECB for additional monetary easing, possibly in the form of full-blown QE," says BNP Paribas economist Luigi Speranza. "We continue to expect such a move to be announced as early as December."
- The euro +0.2% and buying $1.2460.

- ECB officials are unanimous on providing more stimulus if needed, says Mario Draghi early in his post-policy meeting press conference, attempting to put to bed rumors of major disagreements among his crew.
- The comment is enough to send the euro (NYSEARCA:FXE) tumbling more than 100 pips in the space of a couple minutes to more than a two-year low at $1.2431.

- Eurozone manufacturing PMI edged up to 50.6 (flash 50.7) in October from 50.3 in September as growth in Germany, Spain, the Netherlands and Ireland offset contraction in France, Italy and elsewhere.
- The factory sector is struggling "to recover the traction lost following its mid-year slowdown," says Markit. "Manufacturing is therefore unlikely to provide any meaningful boost to the currency union's anaemic GDP growth."
- Markit is particularly concerned by a second successive fall in new orders, "a key bellwether of future output growth."
- The euro is -0.2% at $1.2498. (PR)

- While the statement - an end to QE, retention of the "considerable time" language, chatter about improving employment -wasn't much a surprise, the fact that the dissent came from the dove camp suggests perhaps there was a bit more hawkishness in the conference room than past meetings.
- In any case, while stocks and longer-dated rates have a relatively subdued reaction, money is moving into the greenback (UUP +0.7%), with the euro (FXE -0.7%), yen (FXY -0.7%), pound (FXB -0.2%), Swiss franc (FXF -0.6%), loonie (FXC -0.4%), and aussie (FXA -0.6%) all considerably lower than they were 30 minutes ago.

- The euro briefly fell to $1.2706 its lowest level since Thursday and last stood at $1.2715.
- U.S. CPI data due at 8:30 p.m. ET is expected to reveal a flat annual core CPI inflation at 1.7% in September, but a softer reading could undermine the dollar by adding to speculation that the Fed could wait longer before raising rates.

My search box and achieves/meta windows are stuck at the bottom of my screen:
How do I fix this?
If that doesn't work, look here:
My search box and achieves/meta windows are stuck at the bottom of my screen:
How do I fix this?
If that doesn't work, look here:
It looks like your WordPress Theme has a fixed width for the container of the content and sidebar. The content and sidebar are both floating and have a combined width that is greater than the width of the container, which causes the sidebar to get push down. You will need to modify the width of one of these three elements in your theme to correct the problem by editing the CSS in the style.css file. (It's most likely in the style.css file, but not always.)
Well I want that width for the banner and div (I think it's called). What would I have to adjust the sidebar to in order to push it back?
Most support people don't look at the newest tickets, so bumping doesn't help.
You appear to have the Firebug add-on for Firefox. You can inspect elements to see what the HTML code looks like, as well as what CSS is being apply to elements of the theme. If you right-click on your sidebar and click Inspect Element, it will pop-open a window and have some element selected. Look for a parent element of that selected item that is a div tag. If you hover over the div tag it will select the entire sidebar in your browser. Click on that div tag and look at the CSS that is being applied. It will list the styles from most important to least important. Look for one property called width, then go change that value in your theme. If your do it in Firebug it will show you the change temperately, so you will have to use FTP or WordPress editor to change it for real.
For the TwentyTen Theme the CSS in Firebug will look like this:
#primary, #secondary { style.css (line 71)
I see it. Changing width will move it back up? How do I move it back towards the top?
Browsers will wrap content if it gets to big. This includes words in paragraphs, but also child elements in a parent element. Since the content and sidebar elements have a combined width that is larger than their parent element, the sidebar is wrapped down into a space that will fit it. The fact that it doesn't appear to wrap like text is due to the fact that text has all the same alignment for a paragraph, while child-elements can be aligned independently, so it appear to have only been moved down.
Here is an image showing the invisible borders around each element: http://imagebin.ca/view/H4MkadYP.html
I think I get it. Well how do I shrink the content area to fit the sidebar?
The same way I told you how to do the sidebar. You look through the code until you find what div tag is wrapping the content, then find the CSS that is styling that element, and edit the width of the content or the margins of the content.
I could have told you what lines of code to edit and what to edit them to, had you told me what theme you are using or had you provided a link to your website. It helps to actually see the problem first hand. I can still do this for you if you provide more information.
Sorry for the really late response. Could someone tell me what code is wrapping it?

AbstractAdvanced power systems for Future Naval Capability depend on capacitor banks as the first stage of pulsed power. Significant electrical energy is necessary to support a range of applications including electromagnetic armor, electromagnetic coil gun andelectro-mechanical aircraft launch systems. In order to ensure successful integration of these technologies, capacitors with reduced size and weight must be developed.TPL proposes a new methodology toward fabricating high energy density capacitors with an energy density three times greater than that of existing technology. Dielectric material developments at TPL over the past few years have led to a novel dielectricfilm that can be fabricated and incorporated into innovative, high voltage designs.It is the intent of the proposed Phase I effort to establish the electrical performance and benefits of TPL's dielectric technology for a Navy power applications. TPL will perform the STTR program in collaboration with the Energy Systems Institute (ESI)of The State University of New York at Buffalo. Dr. W.J. Sargeant and his staff at ESI will support dielectric characterization and evalution. Successful development of the proposed technology is anticipated to result in capacitors with a factor of three increase in energy density over current technology. Dual use of this technology is extensive. The development of high energy storage systemswith reduced size and weight are important for a wide range of military pulsed power applications including electro-magnetic armor and guns, microwave and laser sources and for the ever growing importance of compact pulsed power for commercial applicationslike portable defibrillators, antipersonnel mine detection, explosive material detection, weapons material identification, and portable void and crack detection in airplane bodies.

Schmincke has been developing and manufacturing its Horadam line of watercolors since 1881, and the company is now owned by the fourth generation of the original family. Today the Horadam line includes 110 colors, 70 of them formulated with a single pigment. Each color has its own individually optimized formula.
Schmincke has a reputation for using only the highest-quality natural gums, water-soluble resins, and pigments. For example, the company uses only Kordofan Gum Arabic from the southern Sahara region, and distinguishes between good and bad harvests or "vintages" of this natural resin as it selects its raw materials.
Horadam Watercolors are available in 15 ml (.51 oz) tubes. Made in Germany.
Color Chart Note — Use this color chart as an approximation of the real color. If exact color matching is necessary, use actual samples of the materials.

Horadam colors can be lifted from a dried palette without forming small bubbles. Colors that have dried on the palette can be reused an unlimited number of times.
Horadam makes limited use of ox gall as a dispersant. Colors flow evenly and are fully intermixable. This helps the artist maintain full control of color, even on softer papers.

Comments about Schmincke Horadam Aquarell Watercolor Pan Sets:
I work a lot with watercolour and I had bought an identical box 50 years ago in Europe, I still have it. I felt the urge to have a brand new one with all the original Schminke colours in it.The colours are rich and spread very well on the paper surface. Each pan lasts long and the colours are brilliant and pure to the very end. I like the box, with a palette side in order to mix.

I have been a watercolor artist for over thirty years. I normally use Winsor &Newton or Daniel Smith paints, but tried Schminke's bright orange paint on the recommendation of another artist. It's clear and bright with no diminishing of the color after drying on the palette.

By Kimberley
from Seaside, OR
If you havent tried Schmincke.. its very much worth the price. We do get what we pay for.. its a fact with watercolor paints.My two most used colors, as a watercolorist, are Payne's Grey and Indigo. The pigmentation is brilliant, lush. Its blending is smooth and strong. I've included two photos. One of each.I hope this helps in anyone needing to make a decision on Schmincke HORADAM Aquarell.

Melee classes DON'T have access to javelins, only the Archer class can wield it and a Knight using throwing hatchets is a trade off (it goes in his 3rd slot where his shield would sit)
With WOTR, can you switch from a charged run in attack straight to a parry because I think I'm kinda missing your point about using Q in C:ME. In C:ME you don't hold a stance (and I doubt historically many soldiers would) you move fluidly through stances...When you need to parry you need to actually aim at the oncoming weapon not guess which of four attacks your opponent will use.
Blocking is not like swinging. It should not be instantaneous, but it should not we some kind of over extended swing that forces you off balance enough to have to drop your guard as a blow comes in. That is what chivalry seems to do. You block, which really cost you nothing in effort and then see a blow coming in. Instead of being able to hold the block which should be easy. You are forced to drop your sword like your are off balance or gravity has beaten your arm.
In WOTR blocking can be held indefinitely in any directions. This also corresponds to the four directions you can swing (including from the left
You can of course adjust and aim from where ever you swing also.
But blocking in WOTR is a little more static. A block left will tend to block any blow coming from that direction, as long as the block is not defeated by a perk of some kind like "break block".
You can hold the block as long as you like. I would say this would happen more in real life than you think considering the size of two handed weapons.... but here I would submit to any experts out there.
But however it is it cannot be worse than having your block forced away simply to make the game more interesting.

BMW's seventh annual Ultimate Drive Program for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation is scheduled to drive through western Texas on Sept. 18, according to a news release from the foundation.
The event will travel to the Autoplex BMW, 4600 Canyon Drive.
The Ultimate Drive is a test-drive program created by BMW to raise awareness and money for breast cancer research, the news release stated.
For each mile that is test-driven in one of the 18 BMW Ultimate Drive fleet vehicles, a dollar is donated to the Komen Foundation to support research, education, screening and treatment programs.
Over the past six years, BMW of North America has donated more than $6 million to the foundation.
You don't have to buy anything to test drive one of the vehicles in the fleet, and all proceeds from the test drives are donated. Administrative costs of the program are underwritten by BMW.
For more information, contact Amy Quarmby at BMW of North America, LLC, (201) 307-3787 or Kristin Kelly at the Komen Foundation, (972) 855-1607.
