The exhibition starts with a question, and a telling one: 'When you imagine Rwanda, what do you see?' Twenty years after the 1994 genocide with which it has become synonymous, the country is eager to show that it is more than just a one-time bloodbath. To that end, this is the first show outside the country of images by professional Rwandan photographers (plus some outside contributions). There are great pictures here, especially John Mbanda's portraits of craftsmen in a Gakinjiro workshop and Nigerian Andrew Esiebo's shots of prismatic barbershops. Painter Yves Manzi focuses on the change to the country's appearance through new building, and can snap a long-horn cow like nobody's business, while Uganda-born photojournalist Timothy Chester's shots of a clothes distribution at a refugee camp are world-class.
That's all well and good, but the show's rather laborious title pretty accurately nails its shortcomings. We aren't allowed to accept these pictures for what they are, but have to see them as markers of change. A similar problem affects the way they are hung. You feel bombarded at the beginning with saturated colour, before the dark notes well up again: muddy images of crushing poverty, Jean Bizimana's shot of a lone, hooded child among tumbledown shacks. A better edit of this mass of images – many of them understandably on similar themes and similarly composed – would have given it a lot more dynamism.
Ending on a monochrome quilt of portraits of genocide survivors by Jenny Matthews feels like a retrograde step towards a very Western, conceptual sensibility of how we expect art and artists to deal with horror. The best work here would make for a five-star show, no problem, but clearly Rwanda is now no different to the rest of the world when it comes to group shows: too many artists, too much work, too little focus. It's come a long way.

Twenty years after the genocide comes this diverse and accomplished collection of photographs of a nation on the up. The first international exhibition by Rwandan photographers, this group show documents the realities of life for everyday Rwandans.
The exhibition is the result of a workshop run by two international photographers, the aim of which was to help Rwandans consider how they wanted to be perceived. Too often, the country has been viewed through the prism of the atrocities. While many scars have yet to heal, and there is still poverty and inequality, the pervasive mood of these images is dignity, cooperation and opportunity.

We actually stumbled upon this by accident, but it was such a treat to see it. Really powerful and beautiful. I didn't really expect to cry in the middle of the afternoon, but alas! It was great though, a nice way to finish off the day (we had just come from the rose and japanese gardens). Very touching and beautiful.
My husband and I were getting some exercise and decided to walk over to the memorial. We were so delighted with every part of it. There are wonderful small things you see as you walk up to the wall that will really stir your memory. When we walked around the wall and read the names we were excited to find...
This is a great tribute to those who perished in the Holocaust. Please make sure that you walk behind the wall to see and read the names on the back of those related to family in the area.
I headed toward the Holocaust Memorial on my way to The International Rose Test garden. As i approached the Memorial I paused when I saw what looked like a something left on the walkway. I got closer and found that it was not a lost item. It was part of the Holocaust Memorial. Scattered around the area were random items....
Having travelled all over Europe encountering copious Holocaust Memorials including the notorious Auschwitz Death Camp, I found this to honor the dead as well as any European attempt. It total, it is a beautiful work of art in a wooded setting which stands in stark contrasts to the horrors it represents. Bronze representations of the prisoners' belongings are scattered around...
"Never Again" is the motto for Germany's Dachau concentration camp and the Holocaust Memorial in Washington Park, Portland Oregon is reminder of that important pledge. Near the entrance is a metal sculpture depicting shoes from prisoners taken into the camps. This alone brings tears to my eyes, just knowing this is only the tip of the huge iceberg of man...
Happened to find it on my way down from the rose garden, really glad I did!
It is a beautiful monument, even though there are many, this I have to say has been the most touching and heartbreaking I have been to, a must.
A peaceful setting allows one to reflect.
The script on the stones and the signs were very well written. Touching and poignant.
A memorial for the past, a hope to the future that people will care and protect each other.
When we started the walk towards the wall there is a bronzed baby shoe on the walk way. It made it seem much more real than just a distance memory or any other memorial I have been to.
It really made me stop and think about what happened.
This memorial conveys its message very well; for me, it was an emotional experience. On the back are listed deceased family members of local survivors, and some of the lists cover several generations, with multiple members in a generation. Everyone needs to see this memorial.

After the tepid reception for the latest economic package from Tokyo aiming to halt the rise in the yen, and the apparent failure of the Treasury Secretary, Robert Rubin, and his Japanese counterpart, Masayoshi Takemura, to agree on new measures to shore up the dollar during their weekend meeting, Washington is determined to extract real concessions on the trade front, with cars at the top of the list. The motor sector accounts for $37bn of the $60bn annual US deficit with Japan.
If the talks fail, the Clinton administration is threatening to impose new tariffs on imports from Japan.
For all the official talk of seeking "a strong dollar", Washington is widely suspected of wanting to drive the yen, which has climbed 20 per cent against the dollar, even higher. This would make Japanese goods more expensive abroad, and probably send the Japanese economy tumbling back into recession. Only then, argue US trade hardliners, will Tokyo move to open its markets.

Community contributions to SRVHS Swim Center
Original post made by [removed], Alamo, on May 23, 2011
Alamo region neighborhoods, reaching to Diablo Road in Danville, are considering contributions to the new swim center at SRVHS. In the previous efforts to fund a new swim center at SRVHS, an R-7A (Alamo parcel tax) grant was planned to support construction in a similar manner to R-7A support of MVHS pool. The $3.5 million project will likely require public contributions including such parcel tax grants to insure its approval and completion.
SRVUSD board members are to discuss the new SRVHS pool including Danville government's commitment of $500,000 to the project. It would be timely for regional neighbors to provide SRVUSD board their interests in committing to community contribution to this swim center project.

This concept hotel is built around "the underlying principle of local food": selling it, eating it, growing it, learning about it. Visualized by Netherlands-based designer Dean Moran, it includes a market, restaurant, rooftop garden, mini-greenhouses, and several other food-related elements. It won top prize in a recent competition from Tablet, a hotel magazine.
Moran imagines the hotel in downtown New York City, with guests, food sellers, and locals sharing common spaces, like the lobby and courtyard. Food is a way to get people talking. "For me it wasn't so much a question of 'what can I think of to make an interesting hotel', but more 'what would be an interesting theme to bring tourists and New Yorkers, or people in general, together'," he says, in an email.
Moran sees guests buying food in the market, and supplementing meals in the restaurant, or taking lessons in the open-kitchen teaching area, doing a bit of gardening on the rooftop, or venturing out on food tours around Manhattan. But he says the concept is more than "just another themed boutique hotel." It is "tweaking what a hotel already has and focusing it towards a food theme."
The magical lighting isn't completely imaginary. It comes from the twice-yearly "Manhattanhenge": when the setting sun aligns with the street grid, giving everything a particularly golden glow. The "courtyard is shaped to catch as much daylight as possible for the projected location," Moran adds, to provide additional lighting, and ventilation, for rooms coming off it.
Asked when we're going to see the hotel in the flesh, he replies: "Who knows? At the moment there are no concrete plans to build it, so if any of your readers are interested …"

Since I used different games im sure it has to do something with my xbox 360. The first thing I though of was the Red Ring Of Dead (RROD) However, I havent seen any red rings on my xbox 360 yet. Last time I had RROD the red rings appeared maybe a few hours after the freezings began. But now my xbox 360 has been freezing for 2 days without having any red rings. Could someone tell me what's wrong with my box?
Thanks in Advance
Thanks in Advance

Project 3: Aging with HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa in the Era of Antiretroviral Treatment Conventionally, HIV infection in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has been viewed as a disease that is in-elevant to older adults, because it is acquired in youth and its consequences are suffered in middle age. This view is expressed in limits to age-eligibility in HIV surveys and surveillance and the targeting of HIV prevention programs to youth or working-age adults. While global evidence strongly suggests that older adults continue to engage in risky sexual activity and a recent study in one rural community in SSA shows high HIV incidence in adults over 50 years of age, strong data on HIV prevalence, incidence, and risk factors in older adults are lacking for SSA and we know little of the consequences for older adults of having family members living with HIV. Expansion of antiretroviral treatment (ART) coverage in SSA is likely to have dramatically increased the life expectancy of HIV-infected adults. We know little ofthe increase in the number of HIV-infected elderly people in SSA, and treatment and services requirements may be different for the elderly than for the youth population. Moreover, the economic and social needs, and abilities, ofthe HIV-infected elderly population receiving ART are largely unknown. Our long-term goal is to understand how health policy can reduce older adults'risk of acquiring HIV, and reduce the impact of the HIV epidemic on economic and social well-being in this growing population age-group in SSA. The overall objective here is to elucidate the factors leading to new HIV infection and HIV treatment access in older adults in SSA, and the effects of HIV infection and treatment, on health, social, behavioral, and economic outcomes.
Three specific aims are designed to test the central hypothesis and achieve the goal ofthe proposal. They are: 1. Determlne HIV prevalence and incidence and identify the risk factors of HIV acquisition in older adults in SSA. 2. Identify the extent and determinants of HIV treatment access and ART success in older adults in SSA. 3. Establish the direct and indirect effects ofthe HIV epidemic on health, social, behavioral, and economic outcomes in older adults in SSA, and determine how ART modifies these effects.
Our central hypothesis is that older adults in SSA are substantially affected by the HIV epidemic - both directly and indirectly - and that the impact of the HIV epidemic on older adults in SSA is currently being transformed by the large-scale ART provision in SSA. This project seeks to understand (i) risk factors and the effects of HIV infection in older adults, (ii) the determinants and effects of ART in this age group, and (iii) the effect of HIV and ART in family members on outcomes in older adults. The long-term goal is to elucidate the risk factors and effects of HIV in older adults living in SSA and to understand how ART changes these effects.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
On December 31, 2012 the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) released Revenue Procedure 2013-12 http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/rp-13-12.pdf which replaces existing Revenue Procedure 2008-50, the procedure for voluntary correction of qualified retirement plan errors. The correction procedure, known as the "Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System (EPCRS)" has been available for many years as a means for employers to maintain the tax qualified status of their retirement plans upon discovery of document and/or operational errors.
403(b) Corrections
Final regulations for Code Section 403(b) Tax Sheltered Annuities became effective for plan years beginning in 2009. Included in those final regulations was a requirement that such plans be maintained pursuant to a written plan document. Tax exempt organizations and schools sponsoring tax sheltered annuity plans had until the end of 2009 to adopt a written plan document in order to be in compliance. Failure to adopt a written plan is a disqualification error. The new Revenue Procedure expands the 2008 version and includes additional correction alternatives for 403(b) plans including failures to adopt a compliant plan document in conformity with the 403(b) Final Regulations and operational errors such as the failure to offer plan deferral options to all eligible employees. Although the new procedure is technically effective April 1, 2013; plan sponsors are allowed to begin to rely and utilize the new procedure immediately.
Other Features of the Revenue Procedure
The Procedure provides for new application procedure with new IRS forms 8950 and 8951 which are currently not yet available. The Appendices in the Short Form Filing Procedures have been slightly modified as well. The Revenue Procedure incorporates the recent IRS announcement that the IRS Letter Forwarding Program has been discontinued as a means of satisfying fiduciary obligations to locate missing participants.
Other Significant Changes:
Any correction method which requires a qualified non-elective contribution (QNEC) cannot be cured by utilizing unallocated forfeitures available under the Plan.
Matching contributions on corrections for excluded participant deferrals can now be subject to the Plan's regular vesting schedule (previously matching contributions had to be fully vested).
Late Adopters of 403(b) plan documents are eligible for a 50% reduction in the voluntary correction fee if the application is filed on or before December 31, 2013.
Overpayments to former employees. Plan sponsors are required to use reasonable efforts to recover overpayment amounts. Under the revised Procedure employers are not required to contribute to the Plan amounts not recovered as is the case with the current Revenue Procedure.
This release has been anticipated by advisors and plan sponsors for some time and will be useful in bringing plans back into compliance in 2013 and beyond.

93% of the human body is made up of oxygen, hydrogen and carbon. Since most of the human body is water (approximately 53%) , oxygen comprises a significant 65% of the entire body's mass fraction. .Hydrogen, also being a component of water in greater abundance than oxygen (chemical formula of water being H2O) as well as its presence in organic tissue, due to its low atomic mass comprises only 10% of the body weight. Carbon, the key building block in organic tissues comprises of 18% of the bosy weight.
Further, only 3 more elements have a mass fraction greater than 1%. Nitrogen, with its abundance in DNA and amino acids (proteins) comprises of 3%. Calcium present in bones and teeth comes slightly over 1%. Also, phosphorus present in human DNA comes in at 1%.

Transmetropolitan Vol. 5: Lonely City (New Edition) (edition 2009)

Work details
Transmetropolitan, Vol. 5: Lonely City by Warren Ellis
No current Talk conversations about this book.
we get snippets of chapters Spider's book; the Smiler is now president;
sigh ... what does it say about me that I LOVE these Graphic Novels ... genius!!
I should have guessed that the volume of "Metropolitan" with an introduction by Patrick Stewart would be the best yet.
The beginning of the series is great and the election plot was fantastic - but Ellis and Robertson take readers to another level, starting here. The story, as well as its preceding one-shots, moves beautifully through squalor and loveliness all the while showing us a bit more of the human underneath Spider's manic aggressive shell. There's a lot of soul in there - and they're starting to show it to us. Too bad it happens just as sh!t really starts to hit the fan for Spider and the filthy assistants... and we're talking in the biggest of ways...

Good collection of one-offs; never enough.
This is the darkest book so far with little if any of the previous twisted humor from before and it needs to be dark to set up the story to come. The threads from the last few books are coming together and a war is about to start.
The set up for this has been amazing and the quality of the writing, art and characterization just keep getting better and better. As much as I'm dreading what is to come, I can't wait to read the next book.

Follow closely the current explosive debate on education.
Suddenly the wider political situation starts to make sense, showing why Gordon Brown is in deep trouble, but also why his political opponents from within his party and outside have many questions to answer as they project their vague plans for schools with an unjustified self-confidence.
The big political picture was framed more than two years ago when David Cameron supported Tony Blair's confused proposals for secondary schools. The policies were aimed at giving parents more choice but, prior to changes reluctantly accepted by Mr Blair, would have allowed schools more freedom to select pupils.
Whatever the flaws of Mr Blair's proposals, Mr Cameron's offer of support was an astute and hugely significant move. Instead of striding further to the right of Mr Blair, as previous Tory leaders had done, Mr Cameron and his entourage recognised that on the whole Mr Blair was acting in the same way as they would like to do. Why not back him?
Ever since they have been the heirs to Blair in public service reform, pointing out mischievously that they would do what he would have liked to have done. In doing so, they have forged an informal alliance with the extreme Blairites, some leading Liberal Democrats and much of the right-wing media.
As some senior Brownites privately acknowledge, the strategic positioning of the Conservatives over issues such as education present them with a broader dilemma. They cannot disown their previous leader even if the Tories in effect claim him as one of theirs. Apart from anything else, an overt move away from Mr Blair's attachment to a free-for-all in schools would split the top of the party, where quite a few Blairites still cling to populist and simplistic phrases about "choice" and "power to the people".
So Mr Brown juggles, Harold Wilson-like, in an attempt to keep his broad church together, promoting Blairites, preaching the mantra of "reform" (a conveniently vague mantra), while still seeking to signal a few changes (very few) from the Blair era. Like Harold Wilson, he achieves a sort of superficial unity but without much sense of direction and purpose.
Mr Blair's more ardent followers argue that the Tories' support for their hero's education reforms shows that he shifted the debate leftwards. This is a fantasy. The Conservative leadership recognised Mr Blair was on its terrain and wisely supported him. It was not the other way around.
Look at the row that has erupted over the attempts by the Schools Secretary, Ed Balls, to enforce the admissions code, the single attempt to ensure fairness in the wild jungle that passes for education policy. Last week Mr Balls dared to point out that some schools are trying to get around the code by seeking payments from prospective parents and by using other devious means to deter the less privileged from applying.
In theory, he should be cheered from across the political spectrum for seeking to ensure that all parents have a chance of choosing a school, rather than allowing schools to select the parents. Instead, the Conservatives are up in arms, in alliance once more with the extreme Blairites and some of the more distinguished Conservative supporting columnists. Mr Balls is accused of being a Stalinist for enforcing a law that in theory is supported by the Conservatives who claim to be against selection. The wider education debate is similarly contorted. For example, the controversies over city academies are often conflated with the debate about "choice". They are entirely separate. Academies have worked reasonably well. It should be no surprise that they have done so. They have had the assiduous attention of the crusading schools minister, Lord Adonis, and some generous funding.
It is a myth that they float entirely free. The introduction of academies marks a shift away from local authorities to the centre. The Conservatives support academies and want to see a lot more of them. Do they become Stalinist as a result? For sure they would have to appoint the equivalent of many Lord Adonises, based in Whitehall, to preside over a big expansion. Already Lord Adonis rarely sleeps and there are only 80 or so academies. In the meantime, Mr Balls encourages the academies to become more involved in local communities and yet he is the one accused of being Stalin.
The debate about choice in secondary schools is even more topsy-turvy. In theory, who could be against choice? What bliss it would be as a parent to decide whether to choose one good school or another equally thriving institution.
But for all parents to be in such a position very quickly would cost a fortune. Here is the shadow schools secretary, Michael Gove, in a speech delivered at the end of last month:
"We will change the law so that all sorts of organisations ... charities, cooperatives and new education providers can set up new state academies, independent of political control.
"These schools will receive the same government funding as other schools in their community for every pupil they teach. All academies will be free and non-selective."
Who will pay for this paradise of free, non-selective choice? It seems that if parents are dissatisfied with a school they could set up a new one. Presumably the old school would not close as some of the teachers and pupils would still be there.
If they all moved to the new one, it would be the same as the old school, which would be a little on the silly side. The old school would cost a substantial sum to run. Setting up the new one would not be cheap. So for a time, at least, genuine choice would mean a surplus of schools, good teachers and places. This would be in Britain, a country conditioned to assume that public spending is a sin.
Separately, Alan Milburn has argued that a good school should have the flexibility to take more pupils from the bad schools. This sounds great, but where are the additional buildings going to come from to create the bigger good school? And will a good school remain so attractive when it becomes much bigger?
And if these schools are "independent" of political control, as Mr Gove envisages, to whom will they be accountable?
Will there be no national standards and are those standards not the legitimate topic for political debate? Presumably, central government would keep some sort of eye on these schools. If that happens is Mr Gove playing Stalin under the guise of letting people free, or will there be no national standards? As far as education is concerned, those gathered around the Blairite agenda have all the populist phrases and none of the detailed policy answers. But because the agenda is still fashionable, Mr Brown lacks the confidence to expose its shallowness. Education is a blurred muddle and so is British politics. Keep watching this debate.

Surface RT will miss out on majority of Windows 10 upgrades
Owners of the Microsoft Surface will not receive the full upgrade to Windows 10, but will still benefit from some updates, a report claims. While Microsoft will be making the next version of its operating system available to systems running Windows 7, 8, and 8.1, including the Surface Pro range, the Windows RT-based Surface will be missing out.
Windows RT 8.1 update returns to the Windows Store
Microsoft has reenabled the Windows 8.1 update for Windows RT, following the update having been pulled temporarily due to its crashing some users' computers. Microsoft announced the return of the 8.1 update in a tweet on Tuesday. The update is available in the Windows Store as a free download.
Microsoft reveals new Surface 2, Surface Pro 2 tablets, accessories
Microsoft has launched updated models of both the Surface RT and the Surface Pro slate computers, at an ongoing launch event. The Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 appear to be similar in design to the originals, except for the new two-stage kickstand in the Surface Pro 2, with both devices having a number of internal specification boosts and new accessories.
Microsoft could use Windows RT on phablets in future
Microsoft may still be working on a way for Windows RT to still be useful, following its relative lack of success with the platform in the Surface RT. Executive vice president Terry Myerson, head of the operating system at Microsoft, hinted that Windows RT may find a useful place in phablets at some point in the future.
More Microsoft Surface 2 details leak ahead of NYC event on 23rd
More details for the upcoming refresh of the Microsoft Surface have appeared, with reports suggesting it to have a 1080p display. The new specification rumors come at the same time as Microsoft starts issuing invitations to members of the media for a Surface-related event on September 23 in New York City, likely for the launch of the Surface 2.
Nvidia collaborating with Microsoft on Surface RT 2
Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang has revealed that the company is again collaborating with Microsoft, this time on the sequel to the Surface RT. Nvidia worked with Microsoft on the original Surface RT, which has recently had $150 slashed off its price due to poor sales. Microsoft was also forced to take a $900 million write-down on the cost of the cuts in its last quarterly financial statement. However, the next Surface RT will run Outlook, which Huang believes is a key factor in why user's have been bypassing the ARM-based version of Windows.
Microsoft cuts price of Surface RT by $150 across all versions
Microsoft has cut the price of its Surface RT tablet, in what appears to be an effort to reduce stock in the slate computing device. As earlier rumored, the 32GB Surface RT has dropped in price from $499 to $349, the 64GB model is now $449 instead of $599, with the same $150 discount being applied to the black Touch Cover versions, at $449 and $549 respectively.
Report claims Microsoft switching to Qualcomm for Surface RT processor
Microsoft is working on a version of its Surface RT slate computer that uses a Qualcomm processor, according to a report. The change in chip comes at the same time as Microsoft drops the price of the tablet for educational users, in what appears to be a clear-out of current Surface RT stock ahead of a device refresh.
Microsoft plans Surface RT, Pro sales in more countries
Microsoft is increasing the number of countries where customers can buy the Surface RT and Surface Pro tablets. The Surface Pro will be available in 24 more countries, while the Surface RT will be launching in Malaysia on April 25th, in Mexico by the end of may, and in Korea and Thailand in June. The expansion will see the Surface RT be available in 29 countries, and the Surface Pro in 27 in total.
Surface RT firmware update fixes Wi-Fi, system performance
Microsoft is pushing a new round of updates for the Surface RT, this time to fix a Wi-Fi issue along with additional stability and performance enhancements. It is the latest in what have become monthly performance and stability updates Microsoft has issued for the Surface RT since its launch nearly four months ago. In our quick hands-on with the update, it has fixed our issue with Wi-Fi showing �Limited� connectivity and seems to have also delivered a decent performance boost.

Cirrus creates Lightning-headphone dev kit
Apple supplier Cirrus Logic has introduced a MFi-compliant new development kit for companies interested in using Cirrus' chips to create Lightning-based headphones, which -- regardless of whether rumors about Apple dropping the analog headphone jack in its iPhone this fall -- can offer advantages to music-loving iOS device users. The kit mentions some of the advantages of an all-digital headset or headphone connector, including higher-bitrate support, a more customizable experience, and support for power and data transfer into headphone hardware. Several companies already make Lightning headphones, and Apple has supported the concept since June 2014. http://bit.ly/29giiZj
Apple Store app offers Procreate Pocket
The Apple Store app for iPhone, which periodically rewards users with free app gifts, is now offering the iPhone "Pocket" version of drawing app Procreate for those who have the free Apple Store app until July 28. Users who have redeemed the offer by navigating to the "Stores" tab of the app and swiping past the "iPhone Upgrade Program" banner to the "Procreate" banner have noted that only the limited Pocket (iPhone) version of the app is available free, even if the Apple Store app is installed and the offer redeemed on an iPad. The Pocket version currently sells for $3 on the iOS App Store. [32.4MB]
Porsche adds CarPlay to 2017 Panamera
Porsche has added a fifth model of vehicle to its CarPlay-supported lineup, announcing that the 2017 Panamera -- which will arrive in the US in January -- will include Apple's infotainment technology, and be seen on a giant 12.3-inch touchscreen as part of an all-new Porsche Communication Management system. The luxury sedan starts at $99,900 for the 4S model, and scales up to the Panamera Turbo, which sells for $146,900. Other vehicles that currently support CarPlay include the 2016 911 and the 2017 models of Macan, 718 Boxster, and 718 Cayman. The company did not mention support for Google's corresponding Android Auto in its announcement. http://bit.ly/295ZQ94
Apple employees testing wheelchair features
New features included in the forthcoming watchOS 3 are being tested by Apple retail store employees, including a new activity-tracking feature that has been designed with wheelchair users in mind. The move is slightly unusual in that, while retail employees have previously been used to test pre-release versions of OS X and iOS, this marks the first time they've been included in the otherwise developer-only watchOS betas.

Twitter stickers slowly roll out to users
Twitter has introduced "stickers," allowing users to add extra graphical elements to their photos before uploading them to the micro-blogging service. A library of hundreds of accessories, props, and emoji will be available to use as stickers, which can be resized, rotated, and placed anywhere on the photograph. Images with stickers will also become searchable with viewers able to select a sticker to see how others use the same graphic in their own posts. Twitter advises stickers will be rolling out to users over the next few weeks, and will work on both the mobile apps and through the browser. http://bit.ly/29bbwUE

"Global warming alert," the sign for gas pumps reads.
If such stickers are approved, Berkeley, Calif. may become the first city in the U.S. to mandate they are placed on gas pumps, notifying consumers that the state has found that carbon dioxide emissions exacerbate global warming.
The Community Environmental Advisory Commissions last week approved the concept, the Los Angeles Times reported. They would be placed on gas pump handles.
Berkeley City Council will vote on the warning stickers in July.
"It's a perfect opportunity to remind people that there are greenhouse gas impacts and there are alternatives," Berkeley Councilman Kriss Worthington said.

How I built you up
to such heroic proportions
I cannot begin to comprehend
When a man
simply a man
if at all one
grew in my mind
to something almost mythical
An honourable and romantic creature.
I was as much blinded
by illusion of what wasn't
as I was intent on feeding my imagination
with my own lies
Right now
with no preamble
Smack-dab in daytime's harsh light
I realize
With not a small amount of glee
your charms
my make-believe
hold me in no thrall
not anymore not ever again
So here you stand
once more
Mere mortal
not even that
Quite reduced is my regard for you
Now that I'm finally seeing clearly
You are
This is where I snatch you up
and chew
dwelling on the bitter
unsatisfying taste
of your truth
before I
you right back out.

The Scottish FA launched the new adidas Scotland home kit, which will be worn against the Czech Republic at Hampden on Wednesday night and then for the European Championship Qualifying Campaign.
adidas have designed the kit to reflect Scotland's long football heritage. With a classic look of dark navy shirt with white trim, white shorts, and bright red socks it draws inspiration from the national flag, the team crest and past iconic strips.
The replica home kit will be available in the FSC Shop. in June 2010 followed by the training wear in July. The away kit will be launched in August and the Leisure wear in Spring/Summer 2011.
Technical details
The new shirt incorporates the following adidas technologies:
• ClimaCool™ - engineered mesh that allows heat and sweat to escape while bringing cooling air into contact with the skin. All seams are sewn flat to reduce irritation while running, and engineered fabric offers open mesh in critical heat zones.
• ForMotion™ - allows complete freedom of movement. Radical cuts and 3D designs follow the shape of your body to increase comfort and improve performance.
Design details
Styled in the national colours with a large embossed tonal Scotland crest on the front of the shirt the kit has a great sense of pride and honour. The bright red socks, with the word "Alba" knitted in, emphasises the patriotic feel to the kit and the high quality finish, alongside the woven badge on the chest, will inspire greatness.
Pretty decent kits. I think it fits very nicely with Scottland!
PS: First!
Who gives a [censored] whether you're the first one or not?
That's seriously underwhelming. Dare I say it, shit
As opposed to an England kit whick is basically a white t-shirt...yes I see your country has a hug amount imagination in the home, away and goalkeeper kits!
[censored] england are strip is well better than your shite
whilst he wandered off to make a cup of tea ?
Did the kitman leave the iron on the middle of the shirt
whilst he wandered off to make a cup of tea ?
Very3 well said man!
This is a really poor, old template - the likes of the one that Nigeria supposedly told Adidas to stick up their rectorumpus...
This isn't an old templete, It's got the same neck as argentina....that's it.
The badge on the front is pretty unique too.
This isn't an old templete, It's got the same neck as argentina....that's it.
...and Romania, Finland, Denmark, Hungary, Nigeria, etc... All from 2008/09 or before...
I agree the templates are similar, but this is not old.
check all the new designs and you will see.
The watermark looks stupid and the number placement is just weird plus the shirt lacks any style, class or imagination.
Seems like Adidas have just thrown something together at the last minute without any thought, hopefully the future kits will look better than this mess!
p.s Alba means Scotland in Gaelic.
Lets just be happy with that!!!
it's not crap, and it's not amazing, we will have a custom kit for next years campaign.....
This is good enough for now.........
Except for that; the shirt is decent.
Not brilliant, just decent.
The front shirt numbering's high position creates an imbalance. It would look better if positioned lower.
Just Thot Id Say That Top Is embarrising. ITs Mingning Anyways even Tho I am scottish Mon the Republic Of Ireland :)
you're embarrassing "mon the republic of ireland" its that sort of pish from old firm fans thats got nothing to do with supporting the scottish national team
P.S I'm no Hun
This is the best Scotland kit singe pre-1985. Granted the watermark is unnecessary and the shorts are slightly on the baggy side, but the classic colours are back and I think the three stripes look very good on a Scotland kit.
It's a pit that there is a break in the stripes down the arms...but people talking about the top being baggy: It's really down to the individual players pysique and what size of top he chooses. No doubt these same people would love to bring back shorts ala Socretes 1982 so they can ogle the players gonads without having to use their limited imaginations.
I have style. Enough style to now not buy football kits, but that is a good Scotland kit....and they'll get better still.
Japan always has a cool kit...I hope Scotland go down that road....
I wonder what adidas have instore for the away kit. I would love to see a return to the red/navy 70s - 80s Unbro style.
No Salmon Pink please, or that horrible shade of yellow!
Disagree with you on the best since pre 1985. The 1988-91 home Umbro kit as worn at Italia '90 was excellent. No other Scotland kit has come close. This isn't a bad effort, far better than second-rate Diadora kits.
I wonder what adidas have instore for the away kit. I would love to see a return to the red/navy 70s - 80s Unbro style.

I disagree with you. To me, the best Scotland shirt was the one they used in Euro 2006. It was just beautiful.
WTF are you talking about???
There is no red in our national flag. Unless you are referring to that unionist rag??? :-x
The 'ALBA' on the socks is a nice touch though.
I agree with vigilante, it looks better without that daft SFA motif in the centre.
Whether you like it or not, if you're a true Scotland fan you'll probably buy it.
Quoting Aonghas:

Shame Scotland never continued with FILA I've seen the current FILA templates very retro styled kits like the last Scotland home kit FILA did
¡Fuerza Chile!
New Chile`s shirt to the World Cup, by Brooks:
¡Fuerza Chile!
I thought Brooks went belly up years ago not heard from Brooks since QPR's kit in 1991/92
like changing the 2 white lines down the stomach to sky blue and outline the white stripes with sky blue.
Just like Diadora...
This is a decent kit compared to most.
Nike make the most fashionable and best shaped kits.
Its the same colour and probably template of the Lokomotiv Moscow 2010 Adidas Home Shirt
you must be colour blind :o
Anyone agree?
I personally would have greeted a round badge. It´s looking like a 0815 average shirt with the Scotland label stitched on and watermark logo pressed into.
And i ´d rather have it been published as shortsleeve. Gives a better impression of the overall appearance.
I bet the bespoke individual shirt they get soon, will be a massive cracker so i will wait and not buy this one. Too effortless on my opinion.
I would have expected more from Adidas. The jersey looks cheap and meaningless.
Sorry Scots but this kit is foul. When will Adidas put out a shirt without the d*mn 3 stripes on the sleeves and shoulders?? Nike atleast doesn't beat us over the head with the swoosh. It's more subtle. The 3 stripes are obnoxious and tiresome when you seem them on every adidas kit...sigh.
My kingdom for a CLEAN shirt from Adidas. This one is a cluttered mess. I do like the font for the numbers though. That looks awesome.
Alba gu br?
poor stuff though, so dull!
kit should be all blue and gold too!
Nice shirt, but I don't like where the numbers are placed....
And a wee footnote - Anyone But E**land please.
I like this btw. :lol:

Here's some seedlings that opened today. The

seedling looks alot like the SA
#2 seedling that I posted pics of, just no horn on
this one, but a large
lighter ridge after the beard. Lot's of substance and
good form. The
pearl seedling (referring to color), has lot's of
substance also, small
flowers ruffled and lightly laced. It makes
me appeciate TB's that have
smaller flowers, these I'd almost call firm.
While everyone else is
blowing in the breeze, these are stiff. 3
flowers opening up at the same

surprising. bright yellow orange

Thank you for being a reader of my books!
If you stopped on this page because you want to do a book report on one of my books, great. Or maybe you stumbled on it by accident and are trying desperately to go somewhere else. Either way, you totally rock!
Some things to keep in mind:
It's a book report, so you have to read the book. 🙂 I won't tell you the plot, theme, character motivation or anything like that. That's your job! And my guess is that you are smart and can do it so go for it.
- Denise Info: Check out the About page and the FAQs About Denise to see some questions and answers that people often ask.
- For general stuff about the book like a summary, awards, and FAQs, go to the book page itself.
- Search my site for other information.
If you still have questions you can't find the answer to here, you can send me up to three questions using my Interview Form. But remember, like you I have a busy schedule so if you send me a request the night before or even a few days before your book report is due, chances are I won't be able to respond in time.
For writing-related questions, you can check out:
Writer's Hangout Get answers to frequently-asked writing questions and post some of your own thoughts and questions.
Resources for all WritersFind links and info to get started as a writer no matter what your age.
