As we look back at the year 2013, its clear that many elements of life in Owen County will always stay the same. At the same time, the community is always looking for ways to improve itself while honoring and preserving its history.
At the beginning of 2014, we take a moment to look back and remember where we have been.
After allegedly missing fire runs for months and falsifying reports to the state fire commission, the South Owen Fire Department may be no more.
Owen County Judge-executive Carolyn Keith said the trouble with the department began approximately a year ago.
"They just quit answering fire runs," Keith said. "When that began, the Owen County (Volunteer Fire) Department began responding to that area, along with the Corinth Volunteer Fire Department for backup."
Two children, a 2 year old and a 4 year old, died in a mobile home fire at 900 Gaines Village Dr., lot 7, this morning.
According to Owenton Assistant Fire Chief/Public Information Officer Jude Canchola, the department was dispatched to the scene at 9:44 a.m. and was on scene at 9:47 a.m.
Upon arrival, firefighters encountered heavy smoke from the mobile home, with 50 percent involvement.
At that time, Owen County Emergency Medical Services reported that two children were trapped inside the front area of the structure.
Former Owen County judge executive, fair board member and Rotarian – these are just a few of the titles Tom Olds can claim.
He can now add 2016 Owen Countian of the Year to that list following last week's Owen County 4-H Fair & Horse Show.
The award came as a surprise for the 77-year-old Owen County native.
If you ask the 2016 Mother of the Year for parenting advice, she would tell you two things she feels are imperative in a child's upbringing: To have a relationship with Jesus Christ and to love your child unconditionally, no matter what.
Those two things led Melody Stafford to the annual honor at the Owen County 4-H Fair & Horse Show July 18.
RossTarrant Architects Inc. was selected by the Owen County Board of Education to lead the way as project architects for the Owen County Lower Elementary School renovation and addition.
"We solicited letters and RossTarrant responded with a letter, they were actually the only ones that responded with a letter by the deadline, so we are making the recommendation that RossTarrant be approved for this lower elementary renovation project," Superintendent Rob Stafford said.

With recent tragedies involving police officers across the country, Owenton First Baptist Church felt a conviction to honor those who serve in the community every day by holding a special service for the first responders on Sunday.
Back to school event set for Monday
When St. Elizabeth Healthcare signed a lease with the United States Department of Agriculture for the old New Horzions Hospital space, they were committing to Owen County's healthcare. Almost one-third of the way through the 18-month lease, St. Elizabeth is now looking to build.
"We are currently in the process of trying to locate a new location in Owenton," said John Mitchell, vice president of operations for St. Elizabeth at Covington, Grant and Owen.
For students, a trip outside of the county is an excursion but for 15-year-old Noah Malcolmb, he took the word excursion to a new meaning as he left for a 16-hour flight to Shanghai, China.
Malcomb, a sophomore at Owen County High School, was one of 24 high school students that traveled to the country as part of an 14-day trip in June organized by the University of Kentucky's Confuscius Institute. Owen County High School teacher Doris Beverly actually told Malcomb about the trip he could apply for, he said.

If you missed the reveal last night on Spike TV check this video out, it tells you everything you need to know about PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. Basically, it's Super Smash Brothers with Sony characters! No, they aren't bold enough to describe it that way. Anyway, this better have Kat from Gravity Rush in it — she's a rookie, but she's one of Sony's most promising characters.

in my organization, i have a deadline to deploy EFS using AD CS, and i am working with a single windows server 2003 box, which is the Root CA, and is the same server responsible to certificate enrollment. All configuration, enrollment, issuance etc. works well, except, after creating a file and encrypting it, only the file creator and the recovery agent can access that file. others get an "Access Denied" error, even after adding their certificate to the file.
I have recreated the same scenario over and over again using a virtual environment(vmware) and it works perfectly, But when i apply the same steps in the real server, all works except the part where other users get the "Access Denied" error when trying to access files encrypted.
Am i doing something wrong? what could be the possible reason for this? please if you need any detail, ask me. thanks

Posted by a Criminal Defense client
At First I felt like he was lacking the experience and confidence to put me &my family at ease. It was my first time being in trouble with the law. Looking at 5-7years hanging over my head, you want a lawyer that going to good the extra mile and not stop just because things look dark/ gloomy for you. But..Through my pre-trial and trial he impress me not only with his professionalism but his ability to keep me inform with every step of the proceedings. He's not like any other attorney that only cares about your money.

He returned calls promptly, was on time for all appointments. Talked me through the red tape. Gave me the options and explained them thoroughly. Best of all, great out come.

Annual Report
Press ReleaseMay 5, 2006Denise Ciccarelli(843) 792-8421FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASESunset Rotary Club gives $2,500 to fund advanced education for South Carolina nurseCharleston, SC - The Sunset Rotary Club of Hilton Head Island has contributed $2,500 to the Medical University of South Carolina, enabling the College of Nursing to offer a scholarship to a nursing student from the Hilton Head area. The donation will allow one nurse per year to continue his or her nursing education and pursue a baccalaureate or master's degree through the college's online learning program. "The gift from Sunset Rotary Club comes at a critical time, when the nation is in the midst of a severe nursing shortage," said Gail Stuart, the college's dean. A 2005 report published by the Department of Health and Human Services projects a shortage of 29 percent or over 800,000 registered nurses, including 6,741 in South Carolina, by the year 2020. "Unless this trend is reversed, the nursing shortage could have a devastating impact on the delivery of healthcare services in South Carolina and the nation as a whole," said Stuart. As one response to the nursing workforce crisis, the college instituted online learning programs that allow it to deliver its nursing curriculum in a cost-effective manner to students in offsite locations throughout the entire state of South Carolina. Since its inception in 2003, the online curriculum has helped nurses across the state obtain their baccalaureate degrees while remaining in their own communities. "This is critically important since about three-fourths of registered nurses in the state have an associate's degree. Many of these individuals wish to receive their baccalaureate degree in nursing but are constrained by work and family commitments," said Stuart. The Sunset Rotary Club hopes that its gift will inspire other Rotary Clubs in the state to take action and respond to the nursing shortage by supporting the online learning programs and other nursing initiatives as well. "We are delighted to make this $2,500 donation and we look forward to meeting the nursing student who will benefit from the scholarship," Rotary Club President F. Truitt Rabun, Jr. said. Dean Gail Stuart is excited about the Sunset Rotary Club's support of the college's online learning program and what it means for the citizens of South Carolina. "We are incredibly grateful for the Sunset Rotary Club's contribution and for their support of nursing in South Carolina," Stuart said. "This gift does more than provide one nurse with advance learning opportunities. It also reveals the club's dedication to the health and well-being of the citizens of South Carolina. For that we are most thankful."

I've asked this before, but no luck so far... So, I'm trying one more time:
WordPress uploads four (or so) versions of any image uploaded via the "set as featured image" function. How can we ensure that only *one* version (the small thumbnail) is uploaded?
Automatically uploading four versions of each featured image would help increase disk space rather rapidly, I think... Any suggestions on how to avoid that?
Our site has -- literally -- thousands of images. I should add that each full-sized image is manually uploaded (via FTP) to a separate, non-WP folder.
Any assistance would be MUCH appreciated.

I was really hoping to give this recipe a great review because I love the combination of raspberries and vanilla pudding. However, I found this recipe too "eggy". I also think a 9-inch pie plate results in a thin layer of pudding...I had to scrape it out rather than scoop it into serving dishes. This recipe might be better baked in a pie crust. I will continue to tweak it, maybe reduce eggs and use cornstarch in place of the flour.
I doubled this recipe and made two puddings last night to take to a potluck at church this morning. Unfortunately I will only be taking one of them with me. My DH and 2 older daughters all voted last night that we really should try one to make sure they turned out okay to take as it was a new recipe. That was their cover-up to "Wow! they smell so good." and "We might not get to try Mom's dessert". I love the fact that the custard isn't very sweet so the raspberry taste really shines through. The only issue I had is the custard tended to weep a little around the raspberries, so next time I will try omitting some of the raspberry syrup to see if that resolves the issue. Thanks for sharing your recipe KelBel.
A delicious, simple baked custard recipe. I used frozen mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries) and sprinkled them with a little sugar as they were unsweetened. I used raw whole Jersey milk and very rich cream for the milk and cream, and double strength vanilla. I was able to whip it up and bake it while preparing dinner, then I let it cool while we ate. After dinner, I spooned it up and topped with whipped cream. It was lovely! I did go a little heavy on the berries--I used most of a 6 oz bag instead of only 10 ozs--but I loved the fruitiness of the final product. DH enjoyed it very well, too. DS didn't care so much for his, but he's not a berry fan (yet!). Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, KelBel!

Mug shot of Olen Burrage in 1964.The expected gutting of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) by the Supreme Court in Shelby County v. Holder has captured many headlines of late, and with good reason. Less than fifty years removed from the VRA's passage and in the face of mounting state-by-state efforts to restrict the franchise, the Roberts Court appears poised to undo one of the civil rights movement's hallmark achievements. As an array of voting rights advocates and legal experts have demonstrated, such a decision would make it substantially more costly and difficult for citizens and organizations to challenge voting restrictions that are discriminatory in intent or effect.

When All-American middle linebacker Curtis Lofton made the last-minute decision this past January to forego his senior season and declare for the NFL draft, the Oklahoma defense was supposed to soften. So went the winter conventional wisdom. Only two starters who lined up behind the defensive line in 2007 would return for 2008, and one of them, junior Ryan Reynolds, would have to move from weakside linebacker to replace Lofton in the middle.

1. At Alabama, coach Nick Saban suggested tailback Glen Coffee might carry a football into the dining hall this week after Coffee lost a fumble at the Kentucky 5-yard line. At Iowa, coach Kirk Ferentz, a former Saban assistant, suggested his Hawkeyes' three red-zone turnovers in their past two games resulted from a lack of experience and concentration. Given that the Tide won their game and the Hawkeyes lost both of theirs, maybe Ferentz should take a suggestion from his former boss.
2. The good news is that Michigan, despite its 2-3 record, has a .692 touchdown percentage in the red zone. The bad news is that, through five games, the Wolverines are only 9-of-13. Michigan's scoring average of 20.6 points per game is its lowest since the 1984 team averaged 17.8 points per game. That's also the last Michigan team that didn't finish with a winning record. Those Wolverines went 6-6, losing in the Holiday Bowl to eventual national champion BYU.
3. Although the Florida State-Miami rivalry doesn't attract national attention these days, it's worth pointing out that after the Seminoles' 41-39 victory, three of the past four games between the two teams have been decided by a field goal or less. But here's the amazing part: Florida State has won all three. Before that, Bobby Bowden had gone 0-8 against the Hurricanes in games decided by three points or fewer.

Notre Dame is making progress, yet it has not shown up in the polls, which leads us to the bad news for Notre Dame. Since The Associated Press began polling in 1936, no Fighting Irish team has been 4-1 and unranked. That might be the real cost of the Irish's 3-9 collapse last season.

Read an Excerpt
Francis Parkman set out West from St. Louis in order to see the prairie for himself and "to observe the Indian character". Along the way he encountered some "unexpected impediments". In fact, Parkman's whole journey seems to be one long misadventure, which he describes with dry good humor and a charming ability to laugh at himself. The series of minor disasters makes The Oregon Trail a very amusing story, but it is also a valuable narrative of life on the prairie and has some wonderfully detailed descriptions of Indian villages and customs.
The author is clearly impressed with native sportsmanship:
"A shaggy buffalo bull bounded out from a neighboring hollow, and close behind him came a slender Indian boy, riding without stirrups or saddle, and lashing his eager little horse to full speed. Yard after yard he drew closer to his gigantic victim, though the bull, with his short tail erect and his tongue lolling out a foot from his foaming jaws, was straining his unwieldy strength to the utmost. A moment more, and the boy was close alongside. It was our friend the Hail-Storm. He dropped the rein on his horse's neck, and jerked an arrow like lightning from the quiver at his shoulder."
Parkman has a boundless fascination for all he sees, and he seems to fall in love with the prairie itself over the course of the book. He transfers this enthusiasm into his descriptions, which often verge on the poetic:
"Emerging from the mud-holes of Westport, we pursued our way for some time along the narrow track, in the checkered sunshine and shadow of the woods, till at length, issuing into the broad light, we left behind us the farthest outskirts of the great forest, that once spread from the western plains to the shore of the Atlantic. Looking over an intervening belt of bushes, we saw the green, ocean-like expanse of the prairie, stretching swell beyond swell to the horizon."
Unlike many other explorers of the West, Parkman lacks hard-edged cynicism, and while he is generally accurate, he is also somewhat romantic. The Oregon Trail is not saturated with the violence that characterizes much literature of this genre, and, while his analyses of the people are not always flattering, they seem good-spirited:
"Kettles were hung over the fires, around which the squaws were gathered with their children, laughing and talking merrily. A circle of a different kind...was composed of the old men and warriors of repute, who sat together with their white buffalo robes drawn close around their shoulders; and as the pipe passed from hand to hand, their conversation had not a particle of the gravity and reserve usually ascribed to Indians. I sat down with them as usual. I had in my hand half a dozen [fireworks], which I had made one day when encamped upon Laramie Creek, with gunpowder and charcoal, and the leaves of 'Fremont's Expedition,' rolled round a stout lead pencil. I waited till I could get hold of the large piece of burning bois de vache which the Indians kept by them on the ground for lighting their pipes. With this I lighted all the fireworks at once, and tossed them whizzing and sputtering into the air, over the heads of the company. They all jumped up and ran off with yelps of astonishment and consternation. After a moment or two, they ventured to come back one by one, and some of the boldest, picking up the cases of burnt paper, examined them with eager curiosity to discover their mysterious secret. From that time forward I enjoyed great repute as a 'fire medicine.'
The Oregon Trail is not a scientific or anthropological treatise, but Parkman has a passion for these subjects that, coupled with his unique adventures, makes this a very appealing narrative.

A book quite descriptive of long gone places, people and activities on the trail west. I can easily imagine the difficulties of life traveling through indian territory. The author was there in 1846 and you sense the reality of his point of view from the actual time.
I love old books the best because they really tell it like it is, before everyone started worrying about being politically correct. Francis Parkman killed buffalo for sport, thought Indians were second class citizens and pretty much lived the Oregon trail the way it was at the time, believing the things that a lot of people believed then. That is real history, like it or not. He seemed aware of what the white man was doing to the Indians but didn't seem too concerned, that is how it was lived back then. That's how I want to read it, not the Hollywood version. An awesome book!

Slate launches the Hillary Clinton Deathwatch.
Hillary Clinton is as good as dead. This became the consensus over the past week, when the media awoke en masse to the dual reality that 1) Clinton can't close the pledged-delegate gap and 2) Obama has her beat in the popular vote. But the Clinton campaign shows no signs of slowingshe said herself she's prepared to compete for at least three more months. So the question now is not just "How dead is she?" but "When will she realize it?"
In the tradition of Slate's Saddameter (gauging the likelihood of invading Iraq), the Clintometer (measuring the chances of a Lewinsky-related ousting), and the Gonzo-meter (charting the attorney general's demise), we bring you the Hillary Deathwatch, a daily update on Hillary Clinton's dwindling chances of winning the Democratic nomination.
Slate puts Hillary's chances of winning the nomination at 12%unfair? Those odds are better than the odds given by a Clinton campaign staffer last week. But Clinton is threatening to stay in the race for another three monthsbecause, hey, if this mehadist can't have the White House, no one can.
Well, no other Democrat can.

It is always a thrill to embark on the design of a new vessel, but when that vessel is intended to attract the most sophisticated purchasers - usually those with considerable experience of owning prestige vessels - the challenge is especially welcome. For Riviera, the creation of the 61 Enclosed Flybridge was an opportunity to utilise our knowledge, talent and technology in new and exciting ways. Being such a large vessel, we had the luxury of space to fully express our creativity and passion for perfection. From the hull construction to the joinery and from the entertainment systems to the engine room, the intelligence of the design, the quality of the materials and the standard of workmanship will astonish you. For instance, our CAD/CAM (computer aided design and manufacture) software assists our new product team to produce the optimum design. It guides the cutting of the mould plug that ultimately results in absolute precision in the manufacture of the hull, deck and flybridge. Weve installed quick disconnect wash-down fittings that allow instant pressurised water without having to turn on a tap. Yes, it is a tiny detail, but one of hundreds of tiny details and innovations that make a big difference when it comes to on-board comfort. Similarly, our underwater exhaust system offers quieter and cleaner performance to provide you with a quiet and clean cockpit. QL series Interceptor trim tabs are standard; operated by a push button control at the helm, the system provides superior low-drag trimming. You can count on the Riviera 61 Enclosed Flybridge to take you away in impeccable style.

MN for Cora
So, on our quest to find a middle name for Cora, I had a revelation today. Our other top contender for girls is Ivy Louisa. I love the nn Ivy Lou. So today I thought.. Why not Cora Lucy? Then if we ever had two girls, they would be ivy Lou and Cora Lou. If those nicknames fit them, that is but then I looked up names that started with 'luc' and found a ton of very pretty names... Now I'm not sure what I like best! Here's the names considering....
Cora Lucy
Cora Lucille
Cora Lucienne
Cora Lucianna
What do you think sound the best? She will also have a Hawaiian middle name, as it is a family tradition, and our last name sounds like Sisloh.
Thanks!! (Suggestions beyond Lucy names are welcome as well)

No, I'm saying it performs as well as C++ in most cases. Virtual method handling is one example as to why, the JIT has a better view at execution time as to what can and can't be inlined, so it can inline much more than a statically compiled C++ program possibly can.
You realize that JIT is inherently limited to a tiny bit of program which it compiles? JVM cannot spend neither time nor RAM building a whole program tree and making global optimizations like compilers can. And by the way, if you think that compilers are limited to static analysis only - there's also profile-guided optimization.
Well that's precisely the problem you face if you don't have an explosion of optimised binaries, unless you want to accept that the JVM is going to optimise more efficiently. It's not just about compiling for different architectures, it's about the JIT automatically being able to optimise to take advantage of extensions, and other hardware that may be present too. It can optimise dependent on amount of RAM, cache sizes etc. - something that just isn't known when you compile a plain old generic C++ binary for, say, the generic x86 platform.
But there are a number of other things it can do better too - better loop vectorisation (as a result of better inlining of virtual functions) and more efficient heap allocations for example.
In theory, it could do that. But if you do a reality check, you'll find out that JVMs right now are pretty mediocre compilers that lack even basic optimizations. Again, everything that JVM does, can be done by a compiler, but not vice versa. Compilers have nearly unlimited time and can spend gobs of RAM analyzing the program. They can use profile-guided optimization, allowing you to gather stats from a compiled program and then recompile it to better account for runtime behavior - if needed.
Oh, and while we're at it, fine-tuning assembly with specific CPU in mind does not matter these days except for SIMD ops. Waiting for memory accesses dominates CPU time - and here Java is at inherent disadvantage because you cannot really control memory layout of your data.
"Server software does not [need to] have single-thread performance because it's more often I/O bound - that means that CPU vendors can get away with CPUs like Bulldozer or SPARCs that suck at IPC (instruction per clock) performance."
This is nonsense. It depends entirely on the application. A heavy load web server for example may not really be I/O bound in the slightest depending on the size and what it does. Bulldozer is designed for optimisation of performance per watt, you're again confusing cause and effect as to why some things are the way they are.
Before you call this nonsense, go read some analysis and check benchmarks.
"That's not a problem of Java, though, but all managed languages -
Really, the problem is simply that you don't understand managed languages. Your understanding of the optimisations performed by JIT compilers is clearly woefully inadequate to being making this sort of comment. Your comments on server applications just don't even make sense for the most part to the point I'm not even sure you have the slightest grasp of what sort of things servers commonly serve.
"Microsoft tried to build an OS which would be
This is just further nonsense. There was a Microsoft research project to try and build such a thing, and they did, and open sourced it. I don't know what you mean by "Now they are going native
It was a research project and nothing more, and even then it wasn't purely managed, they still had to bootstrap natively because no one ever pretended that managed languages are designed to do such low level operations. You can find out more about it here:
It's worth noting though that some of the things learnt from this research project have already made their way into Windows, but that's kind of the point of research.
You probably don't remember that Vista (Longhorn back then) was supposed to be
Nowadays they are phasing away
"Sure, when I'm forced to use Java (e.g. Android), I immediately use the JNI window to escape. I am not interested in "benefits" of Java, if it means that I need to waste even more time trying to profile the application."
Right, and most people wont be interested in the downsides of your approach either because it simply means you're producing software much more slowly and with more scope for fatal bugs and security vulnerabilities.
You sound like one of those developers who has his little comfort zone and just can't deal with change. Everything should be written in assembly like it used to be! This is telling from your lack of knowledge about both JIT technology and server side software and hardware.
Like it or not, times have changed, there are better ways of doing things now such that the window of cases where C and C++ are the best tool for the job is rapidly diminishing. They're not worthless, they still very much have their place - low level operating system development being one example, some embedded development cases being another. But the fact is these languages have no tangible benefits over their managed counterparts for most real world scenarios that exist today, whether that's building desktop applications, or creating dynamic web pages, or building HPC trading systems. They do however have a number of downsides - slower development cycle and less secure and more error prone development by default being the obvious ones.
You either need to get over your fear of change and learn a bit more about these sorts of technologies and understand why much of what you said is wrong, or just stick to what you know and shut up about things you don't. Either way, sticking to what you know and complaining about that you don't know just results in you spouting nonsense as you have thus far in this thread with your simply outright incorrect comments about JIT technologies and server applications and hardware.
One can argue that everything will be written in Javascript and/or HTML5 by that reasoning. No, there are no major differences in productivity between Java coding and C++ coding. And C++ is not "a legacy language". In these days of multithreaded programming, it turns out that we are again changing the paradigm - we are using Data Oriented Design to gain efficiency and Java with its "everything is a non-trivial object" and lack of POD types fares very badly in that regard.
C++ hits the sweet spot of being pretty high level (heard of meta-programming?) while also allowing you to go all the way down to assembly when needed. With Java or any other managed language, you are inherently limited by what JVM provides, and JVMs have more concerns to care about than runtime efficiency, so they will always offer some kind of trade-off - that's why I called them "generic". While you can probably fine-tune them within reason, you cannot find a JVM that would, say, completely disable all runtime checks because your specific app does not need them.
If you will ever need to code an application that has tight performance requirements, like being required to draw a complicated scene under 16 ms, you will understand what I am talking about better. So far you seem to be only looking at the boring side of programming
Often statistics are used as a drunken man uses lampposts -- for support rather than illumination.

In 1838 the Sultan of Turkey sent twelve neutered rams and one female to Port Elizabeth, halfway across the world.
The rams were rendered infertile, as the Sultan wanted to protect his country's powerful mohair empire.
What he didn't realise, though, was that the ewe on board was pregnant and gave birth to a kid ram en route to Africa, which was the start of the industry in South Africa.
Today's Karoo region produces the most mohair in the world – all thanks to the Sultan's mistake and a pregnant ewe.

Introduction, styling
The current generation A4 has been one of the most popular junior executive models since its introduction in late 2007, which means it has been a thorn in the BMW 3 Series' side in recent times. BMW has recently introduced the new, sixth generation 3 Series to reclaim some of the lost ground the previous E90 3 Series had suffered against the A4. With the arrival of the new 3 Series, the A4's supremacy in the junior executive class might not be as clear-cut as it was in recent years.
Audi is not sitting on its laurels with the A4. It has updated its most popular model in 2012 to counter the threat from the new F30 3 Series. Outwardly, the new A4 and its S4 performance brethren can be easily identified by the revised nose that makes the...
Gone are the days when estates or station wagons were just considered as nothing more than utilitarian workhorses. Estates are now mostly for the lifestyle conscious and for those who prefer something more stylish than a regular three-box saloon.
Estates are hugely popular in places like Europe and Japan and a plethora of models are available on the market. The estate market here in saloon-dominated Singapore might be small despite returning stronger sales figures in recent years but there are still several stylish models from both bread and butter brands and premium makes that you can buy. One of the latter brands that offer estate models derived from executive saloons (a.k.a. executive estates) is Audi.
Avants are what Audi calls i...
Four-cylinder engines in entry-level German executive saloon models used to be rather gutless and unrefined – remember the snail-like straight line performance past generation BMW 520is? The latest forced aspiration technology used by Audi and Mercedes-Benz for the A6 and E-Class respectively though has changed things in recent years. BMW might be one of the pioneers of turbo technology in road cars but the Bavarian car maker was somewhat slow to introduce forced aspiration to their entry level executive models.
BMW has now caught up with Audi and Mercedes-Benz by utilizing turbocharger to boost the performance and speed of its new entry-level 5 Series variant – the tax-friendly 2-litre 520i. Just like the 520i, the entry-kevel Audi A6 ...
Audi is a brand that is steep in racing history. The brand with the Four Rings won many Grand Prix with its Auto Union cars in the 1930s, dominated rallying in the early 1980s with the ur-quattro, won many touring car championships all over the world with the A4 and even dominated American Trans Am racing in the past.
The brand's biggest racing achievements in recent years though are its Le Mans victories. Since 2000, Audi has won every single running of the prestigious Le Mans 24 hours race bar two. Among the victories, 2006 was a very special one – it was the first time that the race was won by a diesel-powered prototype, the Audi R10 TDI. Diesel powered race machines have won every single Le Mans race since with Audi winning a furthe...
The compact executive class is a hugely competitive one. Mercedes-Benz and BMW sell more C-Class models and 3 Series variants respectively than any other models in each of their line-ups. It is the same with Audi – the A4 is the best selling model in its range and together with its 80 predecessor, is Audi's best selling model ever.
So it's no big surprise when Audi sprung into action and announced an updated A4 range just months after Mercedes introduced the refreshed C-Class and more crucially, as soon as BMW's recent unveiling of the new generation F30 3 Series. The latter will arrive on our shores in the first half of 2012 and incidentally, the refreshed A4 range will also be in Singapore by June.
Audi doesn't call its updated mo...
These days, many out there are labeling car designers as rather lazy as the new models they pen seem to look rather similar to an outgoing model or just a scaled down or scaled up version of an existing larger or smaller model respectively. Take the Porsche 911 for example – it'll take a Porsche aficionado or freak to be able to immediately differentiate the new 991 gen car from the outgoing 997's. Another example is the latest F30 BMW 3 Series – I'm pretty sure there will be many out there who will agree with me that it looks like a scaled down 5 Series, especially from the rear.
Another case in point is Audi with its latest generation A6. Many out there will say that the A6's styling lacks imagination as depending on the angle, it loo...
High COE prices these days have meant that luxury executive saloon models like the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class are dominating the local sales charts. BMW and Mercedes-Benz's other German rival Audi obviously intends to eat into the 5 and E-Class's pie with its recently launched new generation A6.
It's a rather unenviable task for the A6 to surpass and beat the well-established 5 Series and E-Class in the local sales charts but the new generation C7 A6 certainly has the mantle to take the fight to its competitors, judging by the brief drive that we had in it in Abu Dhabi back in June.
The new A6 is now finally here and it's all ready to enter the executive car fray to do battle with the 5 and the E-Class, well, except that th...
The relaunch of the Mini brand in 2000 has proven that premium feel and quality can be replicated in a compact city car or a supermini. More than a million Minis have rolled out of the Oxford plant and found homes worldwide since 2000. With the success BMW has had with the Mini brand, it was just a matter of time before premium competitors like Audi zooms in to have a slice of the Mini's premium compact car pie, hence the introduction of the A1.
The A1 though, is not the only stylish supermini to want a slice of the Mini's pie in recent times. Citroen too has introduced a stylish small hatchback in the form of the DS3. By reviving the iconic and evocative DS moniker, Citroen hopes that the DS models can be considered to be premium and h...

Anya Shrubsole has relished the opportunity to lead the England Women bowling attack in the absence of the injured Katherine Brunt.
With a back problem sidelining Brunt for some time, Shrubsole stepped up to the plate and became a leading performer for her country.
The 22-year-old seamer was an integral member of Charlotte Edwards' double Ashes-winning side and was named player of the tournament at April's World Twenty20.
Ahead of facing India and South Africa later this summer, Shrubsole told ecb.co.uk: "When Katherine is in the team she is the leader of the attack so I do look to try and take that on in her absence.
"As a group I think we all have that responsibility and we have done quite well. It has been good recently to nail down a position in the team and play an important role."
The Somerset player took 15 wickets in two multi-format Ashes series before starring at the World T20 in Bangladesh, snaring 13 scalps in six matches as England finished runners-up to Australia.
When asked if they were the best days of her career, Shrubsole - who also had to overcome a couple of niggling injuries - replied: "Definitely. Winning back-to-back Ashes in such a short period of time and reaching the final of the World Twenty20 in such a short period of time is unprecedented.
"It has been a highlight of my career for sure. I think if you told us eight or nine months ago that we would win both Ashes and go to the World Cup final then we would have taken that for sure."
Despite her fine performances, Shrubsole is keeping her feet on the ground due to the amount of fellow youngsters emerging through the ranks.
She added: "There is so much talent at the moment. We saw (Rebecca) Grundy come in at the World Twenty20 and do well on her first tour and Kate Cross was impressive during the Ashes in Australia.
"Competition for places is a good thing and it does make you work harder."

I want to make sure that I can stop a machine, on Hyper-v with windows VMs, and then I can start it, being sure that nothing changed inside the VHD.
Is this possible? Can I make like an MD5 of "C:\Windows\System32\config" SAM, System, etc, and then start the VM's (after one month or more) making sure that nothing changed?
Is there other way, a more "pretty" way?

"Amy B. Dean and David B. Reynolds offer a compelling vision of a new kind of labor movement. At a time when America desperately needs stronger unions, A New New Deal sends a clear message that nostalgia for organized labor's past is no strategy for our future."Richard L. Trumka, President, AFL-CIO
"Using case studies of successful partnerships, Amy B. Dean and David B. Reynolds paint a compelling picture of regional movements for a just and sustainable society. A New New Deal reinspires social activism and offers a modern road map to the labor movement."Rabbi David Saperstein, Director, Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism
"A New New Deal is a step-by-step guide to creating progressive change in your own backyard. Labor movement insiders Amy B. Dean and David Reynolds understand the importance of the economic empowerment of women and people of color. The authors draw on their real-world experience as activists in this contemporary look at grassroots organizing."Sara K. Gould, President and CEO of the Ms. Foundation for Women
"Amy B. Dean and David B. Reynolds understand that union workers don't check their other identities at the shop floor door; they are people of color, women, immigrants. A New New Deal helps union organizers make the most of the multiple identities of workers in the fight against the overlapping injustices they face."Dorian T. Warren, Columbia University
"This book is a must-read for new progressive leaders and those interested in the evolution of the labor movement in America."Mike Honda, Congressman, 15th District, California
"It is practical to ask how the relationship of workers to their employers and to one another may change. If there is constructive development as a result of the current turmoil, it seems likely that one blueprint for a revived unionism will be that described and proposed in the pages of this book. It is a model that is simply too good to ignore."Richard Leone, President, The Century Foundation

Country-music star to pay Houma a special visit next month
Published: Wednesday, August 10, 2011 at 4:35 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 10, 2011 at 4:35 p.m.
HOUMA — Justin Moore said he's happy to visit Houma again next month to show his appreciation to country-music fans.
Sunburst Media's general manager Hilary Domangue also wants to show his appreciation -- to Moore and his country-music station's listeners.
When he began formulating a plan on how to thank listeners for their loyalty, he didn't go too far than a few houses down.
Domangue, who's neighbors with Moore's mother- and father-in-law, said he's excited to welcome the country-music star to Houma.
"The fact that I have ties to Houma will make it even that much more fun," said Moore who married Houma native Kate Gales in 2007.
Moore and Kate met on a senior trip in Panama City, Fla., following their graduations from their respective high schools in 2002.
"I talked to Kate's parents to get the ball rolling on it and from there they got me in touch with his road manager," Domangue said. "The thing that got them (Moore and his management) to sign on was the fact that it was a chance for him to play a concert in his wife's hometown."
The listener-appreciation concert is scheduled for 7 p.m. Sept. 4 at the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center, 346 Civic Center Blvd.

Tullio Avoledo
|This biography of a living person needs additional citations for verification. (June 2010) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Tullio Avoledo (born 1 June 1957) is an Italian novelist.[1]
Avoledo was born in Valvasone, in the province of Pordenone (Friuli-Venezia Giulia). After earning a degree in law, he worked as legal counselor for banks.
His first novel, L'elenco telefonico di Atlantide, was released in January 2003 by the minor Italian publisher Sironi. It turned into a best-seller and won the Fort Village Montblanc Award for the best debutant writer. Avoledo could pull the reader into a science-fictional narrative involving a mysterious global plot and a character modeled on himself. Mare di Bering, his second novel, was published in November of the same year.
His last novel for Sironi was Lo stato dell'unione in 2005. In the same year his first novel for Einaudi, one of the most renowned Italian publishers (which had also issued pocket editions of the former two), was released, under the title Tre sono le cose misteriose. Avoledo won the prestigious Grinzane Award with this fourth book in 2006.
The following Breve storia di lunghi tradimenti loosely alludes to characters (like Giulio Rovedo and Cecilia Mazzi) and situations of L'elenco telefonico di Atlantide, but it has a new plot set in a world of global economics and of industrial delocalization. A movie inspired by this novel was released in 2013.
La ragazza di Vajont is set in a dystopian alternate Italy dominated by a fascist regime, and plunged into a seemingly endless winter.
L'ultimo giorno felice is a short novel which Avoledo wrote for Legambiente, an Italian environmental organization. The plot is centered on the predicament of a young architect, Francesco Salvador, selling his soul to the mafia for money. The novel describes the last hours of Francesco, during an exclusive tour of the Venetian lagoon.
Science fiction is often present in the works of Avoledo. Avoledo's novel L'anno dei dodici inverni (2009) deals with time travel, love and redemption, in a mix of science fiction themes and a realistic narrative approach to the feelings and emotions of the characters. In 2011 he published another science fiction novel, Un buon posto per morire, in collaboration with Davide "Boosta" Dileo, keyboard player of the Turinese band Subsonica. The novel won the Emilio Salgari Prize 2012 for the best Italian adventure novel.
The last novel by Avoledo is Metro 2033: Le radici del cielo, written for the Metro 2033 Universe project set up by Dmitry Glukhovski. The book has been published in Italy by Multiplayer.it.

ARC News - entrants rescue boater, entries open for 2013
by Rachel Hibberd/Sail-World Cruising on 22 Sep 2012
Happy faces departing on the ARC (yacht VIVI) - photo James Mitchell .. .
Never a dull moment when you enter the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC). While journalist Elaine Bunting was reporting that an ARC entrant had rescued a man who had earlier leapt from his burning boat off the coast of Gibraltar, the ARC organisers were announcing that they had already opened registrations for ARC 2013.
Elaine rightly gave the British crew credit for keeping a good watch and saving his life. See http://www.yachtingworld.com/blogs/elaine-bunting/532681/miracle-rescue-off-gibraltar?utm_source=cheetah&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=ybw120921!story in her regular blog.
In the meantime word is in that entries are now being accepted for the 28th edition of the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC), which must be the world's most popular sailing rally.
Such is the popularity of the ARC that the 2012 rally was booked-up by late February, and cruisers are already keen to secure their place in ARC 2013, 14 months before the start.
Cruisers who want to cross oceans are still 'voting with their keels' and setting sail, in contrast to the lower entries in racing regattas and less than full marinas.
The entry list for ARC 2013 was opened on 14 September. Within 50 minutes of the entry list opening, 10 boats were booked, and only five days later, there are now 60 entries.
The ARC sets sail from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, bound for Rodney Bay in Saint Lucia, over 2700 nautical miles away. The 220+ boats that take part every year are a mix of family cruisers, race boats and charter boats from more than 20 nations. Over 30 children aged under 16 sail with the ARC every year, and the oldest participant is usually in their late 70s or 80s. All are welcome!
ARC entries are at record levels this year, with potentially more than 230 boats making the start in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria on 25 November.
Every major boatbuilder is represented in the fleet, which ranges in size from Hanse 325 Quickie (NOR) to the 28m (92') CNB fast cruiser Bristolian (GBR); and in age from 1936 vintage boats Peregrine (GBR) and Peter von Seestermuhe (GER) to the latest launches.
18% of the ARC 2012 boats were launched in the last 24 months, with an amazing 26 launched in 2012. Six of these new launches are Lagoon catamarans and four are Oysters.
World ARC:
The circumnavigation rally World ARC, which departs Saint Lucia in January 2014 is also booking up fast, with 34 boats entered for the 15 month, 26,000 mile odyssey.
