What is this medicine?IMIQUIMOD (i mi KWI mod) cream is used to treat external genital or anal warts. It is also used to treat other skin conditions such as actinic keratosis and certain types of skin cancer.What should I tell my health care provider before I take this medicine?They need to know if you have any of these conditions:
How should I use this medicine?This medicine is for external use only. Do not take by mouth. Follow the directions on the prescription label. Apply just before bedtime. Wash your hands before and after use. Apply a thin layer of cream and massage gently into the affected areas until no longer visible. Do not use in the mouth, eyes or the vagina. Use this medicine only on the affected area as directed by your health care provider. Do not use for longer than prescribed. It is important not to use more medicine than prescribed. To do so may increase the chance of side effects.Talk to your pediatrician regarding the use of this medicine in children. While this drug may be prescribed for children as young as 12 years of age for selected conditions, precautions do apply. What if I miss a dose?If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you can. If it is almost time for your next dose, use only that dose. Do not use double or extra doses.What may interact with this medicine?Interactions are not expected. Do not use any other medicines on the treated area without asking your doctor or health care professional.What should I watch for while using this medicine?Visit your health care professional for regular checks on your progress.Do not use this medicine until the skin has healed from any other drug (example: podofilox or podophyllin resin) or surgical skin treatment. Females should receive regular pelvic exams while being treated for genital warts. Most patients see improvement within 4 weeks. It may take up to 16 weeks to see a full clearing of the warts. This medicine is not a cure. New warts may develop during or after treatment. Avoid sexual (genital, anal, oral) contact while the cream is on the skin. If warts are visible in the genital area, sexual contact should be avoided until the warts are treated. The use of latex condoms during sexual contact may reduce, but not entirely prevent, infecting others. This medicine may weaken condoms, diaphragms, cervical caps or other barrier devices and make them less effective as birth control. Do not cover the treated area with an airtight bandage. Cotton gauze dressings can be used. Cotton underwear can be worn after using this medicine on the genital or anal area. Actinic keratoses that were not seen before may appear during treatment and may later go away. The treatment area and surrounding area may lighten or darken after treatment with this medicine. These skin color changes may be permanent in some patients. If you experience a skin reaction at the treatment site that interferes or prevents you from doing any daily activity, contact your health care provider. You may need a rest period from treatment. Treatment may be restarted once the reaction has gotten better as recommended by your doctor or health care professional. This medicine can make you more sensitive to the sun. Keep out of the sun. If you cannot avoid being in the sun, wear protective clothing and use sunscreen. Do not use sun lamps or tanning beds/booths. |

Subject: | MAGDALENA a hairdresser? |
Author: | Andy ;—) (guest, 18.104.22.168) |
Date: | June 17, 2005 at 3:20:54 AM |
The derivation of MAGDALENA from the place-name Magdala is generally agreed. In the internet you can find still another explanation:Mary Magdalen was so called either from Magdala near Tiberias, on the west shore of Galilee, or possibly from a Talmudic expression meaning "curling women's hair," which the Talmud explains as of an adulteress.
Can anybody confirm this? A friend I asked said he found the word "migdelet" for a "hairdresser" in a dictionary. I can't find this word in my dictionary (Even-Shoshan), though. But then again: Maria Magdalene *is* the patron of hairdressers …

Sep 6, 2012Zen Studios has done it again! Not only is the Plants vs. Zombies table as addicting and fun as the original game, but its design and feature set make it an instant classic on the Zen Pinball platform.
Oct 12, 2012If you have tried Zen Pinball before and came away unimpressed, there is little here to warrant taking another look. If, however, you're a fan or just fancy giving a pinball videogame a try, then Zen Pinball 2 really is as good as it gets.
Play UKNov 27, 2012It's tonally perfect, and it's a hell of a lot of fun. [Issue#224, p.81]
Sep 24, 2012Casual pinball players will love the Plants vs. Zombies table, and pro players have access to a great selection of Zen's most popular tables.
Sep 29, 2012Zen Studios clearly has a lot of love for pinball; it shows in every facet of this game.
Oct 1, 2012Zen Pinball 2 is all you really need if you're after a decent variety of pinball tables to play around with; whether you're at home or on the move, your scores – and those of your friends, provided you have an Internet connection – are always there to be beaten. The tables are intelligently designed and not too costly, there are more than enough settings to fiddle with, and the chance to craft your own collection without being forced to pay for any unwanted tables is very welcome
Sep 6, 2012It's tough to grade Zen Pinball 2. It's nice that they've brought all the tables under one roof, and the price can't be beat. Yet they've offered nothing new and it would have been nice to see a more robust tournament system in there.

This Year's Recipient
See Past WinnersCharlottesville, VA, April 21, 2016
The Sky Alland Scholarship Committee has awarded its 22nd annual scholarship at the University of Virginia to Michelle (Faby) Chaillo. Sidelined from a promising tennis career by injuries and multiple surgeries, Chaillo turned her considerable energy to other leadership and business activities. Next year, she will serve as President of the Commerce School Council as she pursues a B.S. in Commerce from the McIntire School of Business.
"Faby was tennis, and tennis was Faby," is how Chaillo describes her life prior to her injuries. She is a two-time Virginia State Champion (2009, 2012), and the United States Tennis Association ranked her No. 1 in the Mid-Atlantic and No. 18 in the United States. She was forced to take last year off from her studies for multiple surgeries and used part of her time away from UVA to work with Coulter Companies in McLean, Virginia. Also fluent in French and Spanish, Faby was given extraordinary responsibility for a Chanel Fashion Leadership Meeting in New York City.
On Grounds, Faby serves as the Special Events Chair of the Hoo Crew and as a member of Class Council. She helped spearhead the Movember fundraiser to raise money for and awareness about men's health issues at UVA, and is also an enthusiastic volunteer with Special Olympics. In her spare time, she is working on the development of a music-based social media app.
The Sky Alland Scholarship is one of the most competitive undergraduate scholarships at the University. This merit-based scholarship is awarded to the third-year undergraduate student who best exemplifies the characteristics of leadership, achievement, enterprising spirit, humility and devotion to the University. The award is named for J. Schuyler Alland, a 1979 graduate of the McIntire School and entrepreneur who built a successful national marketing research company before he was killed during a carjacking in 1992.
"This is not a Sky look-alike competition," said Kent Sullivan, chairman of the Sky Alland Scholarship Endowment. "Over the years our winners and finalists have represented a great diversity of leadership roles, activities and backgrounds. Enterprising spirit can take many forms."
Nominations for the Sky Alland Scholarship were submitted throughout the fall and in January. A committee of nine fourth-year student leaders appointed by Dean of Students Allen Groves reviewed the nominations to assist in the selection of six finalists. Those finalists were guests of honor at a dinner in the Jefferson Room at Farmington Country Club, followed by interviews with the Sky Alland Scholarship Committee the next day. The Sky Alland Scholarship Committee consists of University alumni, several of whom are past winners of the award.

RealNetworks Kicks Off 'Freedom of Choice' Campaign With Biggest Music Sale in History
For a Limited Time, Song Downloads Now Cost Just 49 Cents, Half the Price of
Other Stores Including Apple's
Free RealPlayer With Harmony Technology Now Available
Aug 17, 2004, 01:00 ET
SEATTLE, Aug. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RealNetworks(R), Inc. (Nasdaq: RNWK), the leading creator of digital media services and software, today announced the biggest music sale in history to kick off the Freedom of Choice campaign. For a limited time only, every song in the RealPlayer(R) Music Store -- from a-ha to ZZ Top -- costs just 49 cents, with most albums available for just $4.99. Consumers can take advantage of this offer by going to www.real.com/music. This limited time sale celebrates the Freedom of Choice made possible by the release of the free RealPlayer 10.5, the first product that integrates Real's revolutionary new Harmony(TM) Technology. RealPlayer with Harmony enables consumers to buy and download music that plays on more than 100 portable devices, including the Apple iPod. Before RealPlayer with Harmony, consumers buying digital music were forced to buy music that only worked on a particular brand of portable device, meaning that they could easily get "locked in" to that device, often without even knowing it. "To celebrate Freedom of Choice, we're running the biggest music sale in history," said Rob Glaser, founder and CEO of RealNetworks. "Thanks to RealPlayer with Harmony Technology, consumers can now buy digital songs and play them on virtually any device of their choice, just like how CDs and DVDs work. We believe Freedom of Choice is both the right thing for consumers and a crucial step in bringing digital delivery of music into the mainstream." "Freedom of Choice Campaign" In addition to the Freedom of Choice music sale, RealNetworks is rolling out an extensive print, radio, and online advertising campaign. National advertising includes a full-page ad in The New York Times heralding the 49-cent download and welcoming consumers to a new era of freedom of choice in digital music. Similar ads will appear in alternative weeklies across the country and across the Internet. Additionally, RealNetworks is launching a new web-based community at www.freedomofmusicchoice.org. This community site will provide a forum where consumers can learn about compatibility issues and discuss the issues with other digital music fans. Already the Freedom of Choice campaign has a strong base of support. Public Knowledge, a Washington, D.C.-based public advocacy organization that seeks to act as the public's voice in the digital age, has endorsed the campaign and urged consumers to take note of the issues raised. The organization issued its own news release today in Washington DC. "RealNetworks should be commended for increasing consumer choice in the online music world," said Gigi B. Sohn, president and co-founder of Public Knowledge. "Public Knowledge has long supported interoperability and freedom of choice in digital media. The more digital music formats are compatible, the more choice there is for everyone. Consumers, the recording industry and the technology industry all benefit when there is more choice in the marketplace," Sohn said. "The more choices there are for legal downloading, the less incentive there is for illegal downloading. All companies in the technology and recording industries should take the hint and work together to bring the benefits of digital music to consumers," she added. The members of the musical group Devo, early music video pioneers who had a well-known album and song called "Freedom of Choice" in the early 1980s, have partnered with RealNetworks to help get the word out about the importance of freedom of music choice for consumers. "History has shown consumers don't like proprietary systems," said Gerald V. Casale, of Devo. "Consumers and musicians will both benefit from a digital music environment that gives the consumers the ultimate freedom to choose where they buy music regardless of the kind of device they want to play in on." RealNetworks announced on July 26th the beta test of the new Harmony Technology, the world's first DRM translation system to enable consumers to securely transfer purchased music to every popular secure music device. Harmony Technology frees consumers from the limitation of being locked into a specific portable device when they buy digital music. Now consumers can build their library of downloads secure in the knowledge that it will play on virtually any device they choose. Available as part of RealPlayer(R), the first consumer product to use Harmony Technology, consumers can get Harmony at www.real.com. With Harmony Technology, RealPlayer Music Store supports more than 100 secure portable media devices, including all 4 generations of the iPod and iPod mini, and products from Creative Labs, Rio, RCA, palmOne, iRiver, Dell, Gateway, and Samsung. Generally speaking, Harmony supports any device that uses the Apple FairPlay DRM, The Microsoft Windows Media Audio DRM, or the RealNetworks Helix(TM) DRM, giving RealPlayer Music Store support for more secure devices than any other music store on the Internet. Harmony Technology will be available later this year in other music products from RealNetworks including Real's market-leading Rhapsody(R) subscription service. Financial Guidance The company previously issued third quarter 2004 financial guidance estimating a GAAP net loss between ($0.03) and ($0.04) per share. The company estimates the Freedom of Choice campaign may negatively impact projected third quarter net earnings by up to ($0.01) per share. As a result, today the company is issuing a revised estimate for third quarter 2004 GAAP net loss of between ($0.03) and ($0.05) per share. Excluding antitrust expenses, the company estimates a net loss of between ($0.01) and ($0.03) per share for the third quarter of 2004. The company remains committed to achieving quarterly profitability, excluding antitrust litigation expenses, by the end of 2004. About RealNetworks RealNetworks, Inc. is the leading creator of digital media services and software including the award-winning Rhapsody Internet jukebox service and RealPlayer 10, the first product to integrate finding, organizing, buying, playing and managing digital audio and video in a single product. Consumers can access and experience audio/video programming and download RealNetworks' consumer software at http://www.real.com. Broadcasters, network operators, media companies and enterprises use RealNetworks' products and services to create and deliver digital media to PCs, mobile phones and consumer electronics devices. RealNetworks' corporate information is located at http://www.realnetworks.com This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including statements relating to: (a) earnings per share and net loss projections for the third quarter of 2004; (b) cost projections for this promotion; (c) projections of quarterly profitability by the end of 2004; (d) the future release of Harmony technology with other RealNetworks products, including Rhapsody subscription services; and (e) the on-going Freedom of Choice advertising campaign. Actual results may differ materially from the results predicted. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from the results predicted include: development and consumer acceptance of legal online music distribution services; the success of the Freedom of Choice campaign; risks associated with the sustained adoption and use of RealNetworks' services by customers, including the uncertainty of whether consumers will continue to pay for subscription content over the Internet, which is a relatively new and unproven business model; the potential that we will be unable to continue to enter into commercially attractive agreements with third parties for the provision of compelling content for our subscription service offerings; the risk that the costs of our antitrust litigation or other litigation will be greater than we anticipate; the emergence of new entrants and competition in the market for digital media subscription offerings; the impact on our gross margins from content costs and from the mix of subscribers to subscription offerings with higher content costs than others; competitive risks, including competing technologies, products and services, and the competitive activities of our larger competitors, some of which have strong ties to streaming media users through other products; risks relating to the timely development, production, marketing and acceptance of the products, services and technologies the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Monday's here, and I'm feeling it.
My weekend was rich in friendship, fun and, well, food. More of it than I'm used to. While I don't have any regrets, I did have a major craving for a healthy smoothie for dinner last night. And possibly tonight too. After multiple large meals in a row, something simple, light and full of fruits and veggies sounds perfect.
I raided my freezer and fridge last night for whatever I had on hand, and came up with a banana, strawberry, peach, spinach smoothie with skim milk and agave nectar. To be honest, it wasn't the most exciting combination.
The book "The Digest Diet" by Liz Vaccariello has some more enticing suggestions for smart smoothies that include a balance of healthy fats, fiber and other fat releasers. For tonight's smoothie, I'll be using this recipe as a base to hopefully incorporate some extra nutrition.

When Apple announced its iAd mobile advertising initiative, many of us wondered how this would effect other mobile advertising agencies on the iPhone, and more specifically, Google's AdMob. Well, now we know: Apple has revised its iOS developer agreement to specifically lock out Google's AdMod. And then people wonder why Apple is no longer the darling of the geek world.

Precisely. And, at least in their previous wording (I haven't seen this new one fully yet), legitimate information surrounding an ad would still be available. The sort of analytics prohibited shouldn't have been collected in the first place.
Nothing wrong in collecting anonymous data. Heck, it should be promoted. It is a good way to learn which features your users use and which not. Requirement: It should not collect any personally identifying information.

Cumming Utilities Department soon will begin work on a new sewer pump station to benefit businesses and residents along Bald Ridge Marina Road.
During their regular meeting Tuesday night, Cumming's mayor and council approved advertising for bids to build the station.
Utilities director Jon Heard said the department would advertise over the next couple months and return in April with the proposals for the council to approve.
Heard said the area, which is near Market Place Boulevard, currently has water service through the city, but not sewer.
"We've had several requests for sewer service in the Bald Ridge Marina drain space and … we have a design for a pump station, a force main and gravity sewer line for that basin," Heard said.
The council also approved buying one-third of an acre on which the pump station would sit for about $6,700.
Heard said the Edge Water at Lanier home owners association currently owns the land.
"We have real estate professionals who have looked at it and believe that's a very fair price," Heard said.
Heard also asked council to approve advertising bids for a 12-inch water line along Market Place Boulevard.
Heard said the larger line is needed to increase water pressure and flow due to the number of businesses.
He said the new line would extend from Mary Alice Park Road, along Market Place Boulevard and end at Bald Ridge Marina Road.
Heard also presented the mayor and council with a commercial sewer rate study, which he said indicates the city is well below the area average for commercial sewer rates.
He said a proposal to possibly raise those rates will be presented during next month's council meeting March 19.

Does the picture move? If that were on my desktop I'd find it so enticing that I'd never get anything done.

It doesn't move. If I need a break I click out of my work and get transported back into the feelings of relief and relaxation I remember from when I got into that pool. I do have to be disciplined enough to get back to work afterwards though.

When he was young, my father traveled throughout Southeast Asia as a salesman. I loved to hear his tales of adventure and food, such as his descriptions of satay vendors in Malaysia and Singapore. Papa said that each vendor had three or four metal grills going at the same time. The vendor would stand in front of the hot grills, engulfed in smoke, flipping, turning, and basting the tiny skewers all at the same time. As he slapped a handful of cooked satay onto a plate, a line of eager customers quickly snatched up the prizes and plunged the cooked skewers into bowls filled with different types of sauce. The price of a meal was based on the number of sticks picked clean.
Nonya cooking is a fusion of Malaysian, Indian, and Chinese cooking. The marinade ingredients for chicken and pork satay have slight variations. For chicken, the cumin is left out; the marinade for pork satay has no turmeric. Pork is not eaten by Muslim Malaysians, but it is the favorite meat of the Chinese. Serve the satay with Indonesian Peanut Sauce (page 141 in the book) and Indonesian-Style Cucumber Relish (page 152 in the book).
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon cumin seeds (for pork satay)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
4 fresh bird chiles or 2 red serrano chiles,
minced (1 tablespoon)
1 stalk lemongrass, tough outer layers
and green parts removed, minced (1/4 cup)
1 teaspoon turmeric powder (for chicken satay)
3 shallots, minced (1/3 cup)
1 tablespoon ground blanched almonds
1 teaspoon red miso
1/2 cup combined coconut cream and milk
(the consistency of whole milk)
Make the Marinade
1. Put the coriander seeds in a small skillet and dry-roast over medium-high heat, sliding the skillet back and forth over the burner to prevent burning, until the spice exudes a pleasant aroma, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl to cool. Repeat with the cumin seeds, if using. Grind in a spice grinder and set aside.
2. Pound the salt and chiles in a mortar with a pestle into a paste. One at a time, add the lemongrass, coriander (and cumin) seeds, turmeric powder, if using, shallots, almonds, and miso, in sequence, adding each one only after the previous ingredient is puréed and incorporated into the paste. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add the coconut cream mixture. Mix well and set aside.
3. If using a blender, add all the ingredients, including the coconut cream and milk, and purée. Transfer to a mixing bowl and set aside.
4. Stored in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid, the marinade will keep overnight in the refrigerator.
Makes 2 1/3 cups
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
or thighs or pork loin
10 to 12 bamboo skewers, soaked in water
for 30 minutes, then dried
1/3 cup pineapple juice
Vegetable oil spray
Make the Satay
5. Slice the chicken, if using, diagonally across the grain into thin strips approximately 1/10 inch wide, or as thin as possible. Or, for pork, slice the loin lengthwise in half, then slice diagonally across the grain, like the chicken. Add the meat to the marinade, mix well, coating it thoroughly, and let sit for 30 minutes.
6. Mound the charcoals in one side of the grill, leaving the other half empty. Heat the grill.
7. While waiting for the grill to get hot, thread 3 to 4 pieces of the chicken or pork onto each bamboo skewer into a tight bundle, covering 5 inches of the skewer. Add the pineapple juice to the marinade and mix well. Set aside.
8. Spray the skewers generously with vegetable oil. Lay the skewers with the meat portion on the grill over medium-high heat, arranging them very close to one another. (The uncovered portion of the skewers should not be over the coals.) Grill, brushing lightly and frequently with the marinade and pineapple juice mixture, and turning frequently to prevent burning, until the outside is crispy brown and the inside white and tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a platter and serve immediately.
Makes 10 to 12 skewers

text: Meet The Guys Who Paid $4 Million For The Lamborghini Veneno Before Seeing ItMáté Petrány3/12/13 3:34pmFiled to: lamborghini venenointerviewgeneva motor showveneno ownerslamborghini behind the scenes25811EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkYou think you were excited about what Lamborghini was unveiling at Geneva? We talked to two of the three gentlemen who bought a Lamborghini Veneno for more than $4 million before they ever set eyes on the real thing. That's love... and a lot of faith in Lamborghini's designers.The rumor of a front-engined GT from Lamborghini at Geneva turned out to be not more than a clever distraction. Instead, we got the Veneno, and it's been a week since Mr. Winkelmann presented the prototype at Geneva, so we all had some time to think about this anniversary special.Chris Harris didn't get it, and also said that since the Gallardo is ten years old now, the warning bells are out there for Lambo. He has driven Lamborghinis before, while I haven't. But still, I respectfully disagree. The Gallardo is a very potent and good looking car even after a decade, and while a replacement is surely due, the Diablo was produced for eleven years and I'd still take a 6.0 VT SE from 2001 instead of an early Murcielago.So I'm with Travis on this. The Veneno is indeed the next poster on children's walls, and that's exactly what the two smiling men wearing Veneno pins on their jackets told us during the first two minutes of our conversation. Meet Antoine Dominic, former Ferrari customer and current owner of Lamborghini Long Island, and Kris Singh, Managing Director of Tequesta Investments from Florida. They just spent $4 million each on a car they haven't really seen apart from some renderings before putting down their deposits. But they've seen it now, and couldn't be happier.We are clearly all fanboys at the table, the only difference is that they can buy their dream cars while Peter and I remain on the other side of the glass. Still, money was not enough if you wanted to own a Veneno.AdvertisementAdvertisementLamborghini carefully chose the trio, and looking at the American pair, I'm beginning to understand why the factory took their money. They're in love with the brand. Antoine used to own a Ferrari F40 which scared him out of his mind, an F50 which needed a braking plan in advance, and an Enzo which was great but not too user friendly thanks to its firm suspension.He still has a Maserati MC12 and a special Bentley ISR in his garage just in case, but the fact that he became a Lamborghini dealer tells a lot. Kris is in his thirties, and not afraid to joke around a bit. He gives credit to Volkswagen for creating the best car in the world ( the Bugatti Veyron) by marrying a Beetle to an Audi TT RS. He also owned Ferraris before, and tells us that the last ones he liked were the 430 Scuderia and the 16M, but still he would choose a Gallardo Superleggera or Performante instead of those. They don't like Ferrari's new headlamps. I'm onboard.Kris calls Lamborghini's Chief Designer, Filippo Perini a modern day Marcello Gandini, a genius in short. He also begged Winkelmann to sell him the Estoque, and will buy the Lambo SUV as soon as it hits the showrooms. SponsoredBut it's not just the shapes that these guys prefer to other supercar makers. They love the direct feel of the single clutch gearbox (Kris can't see why anybody would need faster shift-times than 50 milliseconds), and the raw power of the new V12. Antoine puts it this way: "When you have the best design, the best engine and the best gearbox, you have an unbeatable combination."Looking at Peter's MacBook, Kris is keen to give a high five for the old V12's firing order. He knows the numbers as he used them for codes in the past. I get my high five when I tell them how much I hate when people hide away their rare cars. They assure us the Venenos won't be hidden. Antoine will put his on display at the showroom in Long Island, while Kris will drive his around Florida as much as possible. He wants to be the guy sharing the poster car with the children on the street. The cars are in good hands.We start to talk about performance, and since they both drive Aventadors, they know the figures. Because Lamborghini is fighting for reduced weight instead of having more horsepower, 691 horses and the all-wheel drive system can take the base car to 62 mph in 2.8 seconds. They believe that's better than what the McLaren P1 or the LaFerrari can do with all those heavy electrics.If not, who cares? These guys find Veyrons soulless. They wanted "the spaceship that landed in the floor over there." And they got it. Only the color of the stripes on their cars remains a secret.Look at this rear, and imagine it with a numberplate. Michael Lock, the boss of Lamborghini North America calls it "crazy" with a big smile on his face. I couldn't agree more. Crazy is what they've been selling since the Countach, and looking at the wheel arches of the Veneno, they clearly haven't forgot about that legacy. When I tell him that it surprised me two of the three cars ended up in North America, he says he wanted to sell all three. In the end, one went to the Middle-East. Still, Europe only gets the prototype in the Lamborghini Museum, so America pretty much won this round.I'm curious what can he tell me about future Lamborghinis, but we start with the last few years instead. Since everybody loved the Estoque concept, I'm wondering why they choose to build a SUV as the third model.AdvertisementSurprisingly, he says there is simply no sufficient platform at the VW Group, and before I could ask about the Porsche Panamera, he tells us that's too fat. Then he corrects it to "well-built" with another smile, but the facts remain. As he puts it, Lamborghini won't do badge engineering. So sticking Lamborghini badges and a carbon body on a Panamera chassis is not going to happen. The Urus is different, and they're just waiting for VW's green light to start. Having a better base for that, the engineers have enough flexibility to turn it into a proper Lamborghini. That means having less weight, radical styling and more power than anybody else on the market. That's the Lambo way.We talk about China for a while, and it turns out that's the only market where Ferrari can't outsell Lamborghini like it does everywhere else. The reason is that Chinese kids neither had Lamborghini or Ferrari posters on their walls thirty years ago. Ferrari's motorsport heritage simply doesn't count in Asia, so it's all down to today's styling and performance. So let's look at those...The Veneno might look like something that was designed by a child on LSD, but don't get fooled by that. The giant adjustable wing, that insane diffusor and the sharp spoilers in the front are all there to improve aerodynamics, meaning more downforce and less drag. Thanks to the completely new carbon fiber body and lightweight materials on the inside like the carbonskin trimming, the Veneno prototype is 270 pounds lighter than the Aventador. And the three production cars will be even lighter than that. The car also gets a modified suspension with new dampers, springs and anti roll bar to support that extra grip.According to Lamborghini's Research and Development Director Maurizio Reggiani, every team involved in the process could finish with a happy feeling. The designers could go extreme, the aerodynamics team wasn't limited by styling, and the engineers could turn that V12 into something even mightier surrounded by the most advanced materials available.AdvertisementThe end result is 3,218 pounds propelled by 750 horsepower. Compared to the Aventador's V12, the Veneno's has improved back-pressure on the exhaust side, retuned engine management and a brand new camshaft for higher revs. The redline is at 9000rpm while maximum power comes at 8700. All that results in a car with an electronically limited top speed of 220 mph. He wouldn't tell us what it could do without the nanny, but I guess more would be the right answer.Lamborghini will stay normally aspirated for now. That's the most responsive engine, and that's what they want from their cars. If they reach the point when regulations make it impossible, forced induction is the next step, and only when that's not enough will they turn to hybrids in their supercars. The reason is simple: low weight is the most efficient tool in the pursuit of speed, while electric systems are heavy and large. Packaging is an issue when you want perfect balance. The Urus SUV is a different story. That will be big enough for a hybrid power train, and the positioning shouldn't be a problem either. So it's not like they are living in the past at Lamborghini, they just have a strong idea of what's right for their products.In the end, the critics are almost right. McLaren and Ferrari presented the new generation of supercars at the Geneva Motor Show, and Porsche is not far behind with their development. Lamborghini on the other hand went there to celebrate, with the craziest car we've seen in years. The only problem is that I don't think the hybrids could beat that spaceship on tarmac...Photo credit: Peter Orosz and Máté PetrányReply258 repliesLeave a reply

The Kobe Haters' Manifesto
Kobe Bryant wants out of L.A. Who will his enemies root against now?
On Wednesday, Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant demanded a trade. His beefs: The team didn't tell him that it would be trying to rebuild rather than contend for championships, and the front office has repeatedly planted rumors that he pushed to get rid of Shaquille O'Neal. Last May, Sam Anderson cataloged his hatred of Bryant. The short version: "I hate Kobe Bryant's rotten and derivative soul." The entire story is reprinted below.
When the Phoenix Suns embarrassed Kobe Bryant's Lakers this weekend in what should have been a classic Game 7, it marked the beginning of a kind of spiritual vacation for me. I detest Kobe with such bilious overpowering fervor that, when he's playing well, I have trouble doing much else with my life: an incapacitating dark sludge floods my soul. Over the last few weeks—as Kobe threw dirty elbows, made smug post-game comments, and beat the lovable Suns on a couple of irritatingly great last-second shots—my Kobe-hatred swelled to alarmingly high levels. With the Suns' victory, however, I felt the black tide begin to recede. Its absence still feels strange.
I don't hate Kobe for petty reasons: for his talent, for instance, which is beyond dispute and often gorgeous to watch, or because he sold out Shaq, or because he's an adulterer, or because his face looks like a weasel. I can forgive all of that. I don't even hate him because the referees surround him with a sacred halo of gentle touching (he was once so coddled in a playoff game that Ralph Nader had to start agitpropping about it), or because he's skewed the self-perceptions of pickup ball-hogs across the nation, or even because he makes close to my yearly salary every time he scores a basket. This is all irritating but peripheral. The true source of my rage is much, much deeper: I hate Kobe Bryant's rotten and derivative soul.
Since Michael Jordan's final title in 1998, NBA superstars have suffered mightily from what Harold Bloom termed "anxiety of influence." The Jordan myth—a morality play about how dedication, respect for the game, and loving your parents makes you the undisputed greatest person in the world—has stifled an entire generation of great players. But, as Jordan's most talented immediate successor, Kobe has been uniquely warped. He's plagiarized MJ's game so expertly that, in many ways, he's ahead of the master's curve—Kobe is stronger than the 27-year-old Jordan and has a deadlier outside shot. But for all his miraculous skills, Kobe is painfully bad at mythmaking. Since he's a Jordan-like talent, Kobe clearly thinks that he's entitled to the Jordan mythology, but he doesn't have any of Jordan's charisma or imagination. As melodramatic and managed as Jordan's career was, there was some authentic core—it was original and seemed to mean something. Kobe exists entirely within quotation marks.
Jordan was a master of pantomime. He built his empire largely on iconic celebratory gestures: the tongue-wag, the splay-legged fist pump, the impish "Even I marvel at my own divinity" shrug. Kobe's dramatic gestures are all either borrowed or embarrassing. After his game-winner over the Suns in Game 4, Kobe held his fist frozen in front of him exactly like MJ used to. But when he got clotheslined by Raja Bell in the next game, there was no script to work from: You could almost see him trying to remember if Come Fly With Me had any footage of Jordan getting horse-collared by Joe Dumars. Kobe finally improvised with a sassy hand-gesture shuffle. He wiped a pile of imaginary dirt off of his shoulder for a while, then added a schoolmarm finger waggle while making the least convincing tough-guy face I've ever seen. It was like a high-school production of West Side Story.
The Phoenix crowd's Game 7 chant of "Kobe sucks" brought on another round of awkward posturing. Kobe cupped his hand to his ear, Hulk Hogan-style, and held it long enough for TNT's cameras to swivel and zoom; then he nodded sarcastically with his lips pursed for a good 10 seconds. It was supposed to look cocky and defiant but came off as empty petulant theater. When play resumed he launched into an incredible burst of scoring that made me wonder if the greatest talent in the basketball universe is merely an expression of insecurity.
The circumstances surrounding the Phoenix series made Kobe's image-manipulation comically transparent. When word leaked out that Steve Nash had won the MVP again, essentially for being the anti-Kobe, Bryant suddenly transformed his game into a mediocre Nash impression, passing up good shots to get his teammates slightly worse ones. Though the media congratulated him for his selflessness, his real agenda—to prove that he was the snubbed MVP who can do it all—was painfully obvious. Kobe is the only player in the league whose game is most showy when he scores fewer than 30 points.
In the carefully scripted after-school special of Kobe Bryant's career, this playoff series was the part where he "selflessly" "matured" into a "leader." During TV timeouts, he seized his teammates by their faces and shouted intense Jordan-esque lectures directly into their ears, carefully exaggerating his gestures so people in the cheap seats could admire his leadership. In the second half of Game 7, with the Lakers needing a miracle only Kobe could provide, he refused to shoot. Instead, he made a big show of deferring to the role players. To the untrained, this looked like pouting, but you could see him mentally adding another line to his resume: He had taught his teammates not to rely on their superstar in a dire situation.
At some point over the weekend, after Kobe had swished another fadeaway 20-foot turnaround with a defender sitting on his shoulders, my wife wondered aloud whether my hatred might be doing permanent damage to my heart. But I know it's not. Hating an athlete isn't like hating an actual person. It's like hating a character in a novel. My hatred is exceptionally pure and completely contained within the parameters of the game. When Kobe went to the bench with five minutes left and the Suns' lead hovering around 30, I felt an unfamiliar emotion: a twinge of sadness followed by pity. I could feel my Kobe-hatred slipping away, and it made me sad. I will miss it. Everyone left in the playoffs is disturbingly likable. I have nothing to look forward to until next year.

How do guitars vary in both sound and style?
In talking with guitar players, it is not enough to say "I play the guitar." The next question is always "Oh, what do you play?" In the picture above, we see several styles of guitars. There are two acoustic guitars (non-electric, non-amplified) and three different electric guitars. Not shown are instruments such as a classical guitar (six nylon strings instead of steel strings), a bass guitar (usually four strings, but some have five), a resonator guitar for slide blues (uses open tunings), an electric steel guitar (for country music) and a Hawaiian guitar. Guitar players specialize in a type of instrument and style of music. The same is true of chemistry and other sciences.
Areas of Chemistry
The study of modern chemistry has many branches, but can generally be broken down into five main disciplines, or areas of study:
- physical chemistry
- organic chemistry
- inorganic chemistry
- analytical chemistry
- biochemistry
Physical Chemistry
Physical chemistry is the study of macroscopic properties, atomic properties, and phenomena in chemical systems. A physical chemist may study such things as the rates of chemical reactions, the energy transfers that occur in reactions, or the physical structure of materials at the molecular level.
Organic Chemistry
Organic chemistry is the study of chemicals containing carbon. Carbon is one of the most abundant elements on Earth and is capable of forming a tremendously vast number of chemicals (over twenty million so far). Most of the chemicals found in all living organisms are based on carbon.
Inorganic Chemistry
Inorganic chemistry is the study of chemicals that do not, in general, contain carbon. Inorganic chemicals are commonly found in rocks and minerals. One current important area of inorganic chemistry deals with the design and properties of materials involved in energy and information technology.
Analytical Chemistry
Analytical chemistry is the study of the composition of matter. It focuses on separating, identifying, and quantifying chemicals in samples of matter. An analytical chemist may use complex instruments to analyze an unknown material in order to determine its various components.
Biochemistry is the study of chemical processes that occur in living things. Research may cover basic cellular processes up to understanding disease states so better treatments can be developed.
In practice, chemical research is often not limited to just one of the five major disciplines. A particular chemist may use biochemistry to isolate a particular chemical found in the human body such as hemoglobin, the oxygen carrying component of red blood cells. He or she may then proceed to analyze the hemoglobin using methods that would pertain to the areas of physical or analytical chemistry. Many chemists specialize in areas that are combinations of the main disciplines, such as bioinorganic chemistry or physical organic chemistry.
- Five areas of chemistry are described:
- physical chemistry
- organic chemistry
- inorganic chemistry
- analytical chemistry
- biochemistry
Match the project with the proper chemistry discipline.
a. measuring mercury in seawater | 1. biochemistry |
b. studying enzymes in cells | 2. organic chemistry |
c. measuring the electrical properties of solutions | 3. inorganic chemistry |
d. synthesizing new carbon compounds | 4. physical chemistry |
e. making new compounds for energy processes | 5. analytical chemistry |

THe F1 is finicky, with speakers, since its a current output amp, it doesnt work with crossovers. But since the HE-6s and LCD-3s are a perfectly flat and entirely resistive load it works great with them.
Yeah i was thinking about getting it turned into a F1J since its supposed to be even better, but since im keeping the LCD-3s and giving back the HE-6s, im not gonna worry about it, Ive already sold the F1 to Preproman to use with the HE-6s
I already contacted Nelson about the F1J. He's ready to do the upgrade for $500. I just have to ship it to him.. But is the F1J is really any better?

HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) — Maryland deer hunters are taking to the woods for the early muzzleloader deer season.
Thursday marks the first opportunity for those who hunt deer with muzzle-loading firearms. The archery deer season began Sept. 6.
A change in the regulations this year makes it illegal to discharge a firearm within 300 yards of a school while hunting. The rule applies during school hours or when the building is occupied.
Muzzleloaders accounted for about 18 percent of the deer taken by hunters in Maryland last season.
The more popular modern firearms season opens Nov. 30.

Both the 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport and the subcompact Mirage have received a handful of updates for the new model year, including an upgraded CVT that makes the compact crossover perform better, and new equipment upgrades that make the subcompact hatchback's cabin a better place to be.
The Outlander Sport has received the next-gen version of Mitsubishi's CVT, which the automaker says is "equivalent to a seven-speed transmission." The Outlander Sport's 148-hp 2.0-liter I-4 has also received "numerous design enhancements." Mitsubishi says both those upgrades should help the 2015 Outlander Sport run quicker off the line. In MT testing, the 2011 Outlander Sport equipped with the CVT accelerated from 0-60 mph in 9.7 seconds, so we'll have to wait and see if the 2015 Outlander Sport can improve on that time.
The next-gen CVT is also expected to bump fuel economy numbers, gaining one mpg more in both the city and highway over the 2014 Outlander Sport's 24/31 mpg city/highway. All-wheel-drive models are also estimated to achieve 30 mpg on the highway — one mpg more compared to the 2014 Outlander Sport with AWD. For those who aren't interested in the CVT, the five-speed manual is also still available.
Other additions include new trim options for the audio panel, next-gen electric power steering, and new LED running lights. Extra sound insulation installed in the rear quarter panel and thicker glass on the front door window help reduce outside noise, while the switch for the heated front seat has been made more accessible to the driver.
Although it was just introduced for the 2014 model year, the Mirage also gets upgrades for 2015, though they're not as significant as the Outlander Sport's. The 2015 Mirage gets new chrome interior accents for the audio and HVAC panels and a rear-mounted short pole antenna. Meanwhile, the ES model gets new interior seat fabric and turn indicators on the side mirrors. Other than that, the Mirage is mostly the same as the 2014 model. It still achieves an EPA-rated 37/44 mpg and continues to buzz along thanks to a 1.2-liter I-3 that makes 74 hp and 74 lb-ft of torque. This engine is matched to a CVT or five-speed manual. The 2015 Mirage has also been priced starting at $13,805 including a $810 destination fee, representing an increase of just $15 over last year's model.

Our Perspectives
Beyond the street protests: Youth, women and democracy in Latin America
28 Apr 2014 by Jessica FaietaRecently we invited three young women parliamentarians from Latin America and the Caribbean to join a discussion in Salamanca, Spain, on young women's political participation in the region. That's what Paola Pabón from Ecuador, Silvia Alejandrina Castro from El Salvador and Gabriela Montaño from Bolivia have in common. They are among the very few women in parliaments and they are young: they broke a double glass ceiling. Of the 600 million people in Latin America and the Caribbean, more than 26 percent are aged 15 to 29. This is a unique opportunity for the region's development and for its present and future governance. Even though the average regional rate of women in parliament is 25 percent, higher than the global average, a closer look shows that women still lag behind. Our recent survey of 25 parliaments in Latin America and the Caribbean shows a very low representation of youth in the region's parliaments – especially those of African or indigenous descent. Only 2.7 percent of male parliamentarians in the region and 1.3 percent of women MPs were under 30 years old. Our regional Human Development Reports have shown that young people have enormous potential as agents of change. But despite Latin … Read more
From Millennium Development Goals to Sustainable Development Goals
28 Apr 2014 by Leire Pajín, Policy AdviserThe world has undergone significant change since the launching of the Millennium Declaration – a declaration capable of galvanizing political will and enabling agreement on the international development agenda as defined by eight objectives. The time has now come to examine and renew true political commitments. As part of this process, the UN has led reflection and debate to define a new agenda for the "Future We Want for All" initiative based on two guiding principles: to accelerate and fulfill of the Millennium Declaration's tasks, and also to incorporate the new challenges posed by our unique and complex world based on lessons learnt during the past 14 years. What role can the international community play within this context? Finish what has been started. If we take stock of what has happened during these 14 years, much progress has been made, particularly in reducing extreme poverty, creating universal access to primary education, fighting malaria and improving access to drinking water. As various UN reports have highlighted, several countries have made significant strides forward on the MDGs, and some of the most important successes in recent years have occurred in the poorest countries. However, new challenges appear on the horizon. We need a … Read more
The way forward for the UN: we need to focus more on peace and stability
25 Apr 2014 by Jordan RyanHow the international community, including the United Nations, approaches development may be about to change. In 2015, the Millennium Development Goals, a set of targets that mark major development milestones, are set to expire and a next generation of goals will take their place. However, what these new goals, commonly referred to as the Sustainable Development Goals, will entail is still up for debate. Member States at the United Nations will have ample opportunity to build and then agree upon a new framework for the development agenda. One important part of the process will be the President of the General Assembly's Thematic Debate on Ensuring Peaceful Societies on 24-25 April. This debate offers governments around the world the opportunity to understand why peace and security should be at the centre of the agenda and a separate goal of its own right. Without peace there can be no secure basis for development. It is well known that countries affected by conflict are also affected by poverty and have so far failed to achieve most -- if any -- of the MDGs. According to the Organization for Economic Development and Cooperation's 2014 Report on Fragile States, countries affected by conflict account for one-third … Read more
To address health challenges, we must pay attention to neglected tropical diseases
25 Apr 2014 by Tenu AvafiaTB, Malaria and neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality globally. They are diseases of poverty mostly prevalent among disadvantaged communities with high levels of inequality. In 2012, TB claimed the lives of 1.3 million people, 95 of whom lived in low and middle income Countries (LMICs). In the same year, more than 600,000 lives were lost to malaria, the vast majority of them young African children. Tropical diseases, although not always fatal, can lead to delayed growth in children, impaired cognition and memory, malnutrition, organ damage, blindness, disfigurement and permanent disability. The inter-connected challenges of innovation and access The term "neglected" says it all. While NTDs account for 11.4 percent of the global disease burden, the investment in developing diagnostics, medicines and vaccines to treat them is disproportionately low. Of the 1,556 new medicines approved between 1975 and 2004, only 1.3 percent were specifically developed for tropical diseases and TB. However, even as the number of new health technologies coming to market increases slowly, the capacity in several LMICs to deliver these products to patients in need remains very weak. Health systems need to be strengthened so that these medicines can be delivered and … Read more
Fighting corruption and urban inequality
24 Apr 2014 by Anga TimilsinaToday, the majority of the world's population lives in cities. This poses great challenges but also brings big opportunities. With good management, cities can work as engines of growth and incubators for innovation. They can also serve as job providers, build sustainability and fight inequality. On the other hand, corrupt cities could also transfer resources from the public to the elites, and generally from the poor to the rich, worsening urban inequity. How can we thus ensure that urban governance delivers resources and services in a transparent, accountable way? To answer this question and others, two weeks ago UNDP's Global Anti-corruption Initiative, UNDP Colombia and the Bogota Chamber of Commerce organized a policy dialogue at the 7th World Urban Forum (WUF7) in the city of Medellín, Colombia. The event, which took place in a traditional Maloca (a long house used by the natives of the Amazon as the centre of the village government) brought together government representatives, mayors, academics, the private sector, and UN officials to discuss how cities can fight corruption more efficiently to contribute to urban equity. One takeaway from the dialogue was that "the end cannot justify the means." As long as corruption prevails, sustainable development of cities … Read more

This is the first time I hear your program although it was a very long standing aspiration. I'm your most humble colleague from Listener Hour and from Brazil. Do put that damn year, Codger, please, so that we could evaluate the records even better.

Bond Firm's Gifts to California School Officials Probed
James NashCalifornia's political watchdog is investigating whether school officials failed to report gifts from municipal bond underwriter Stone & Youngberg, now a unit of Stifel Financial Corp.
The California Fair Political Practices Commission is looking into whether officials at districts that did business with Stone & Youngberg neglected to report meals and other gifts on mandatory disclosure forms, commission spokesman Jay Wierenga said by telephone.
Stone & Youngberg, based in San Francisco, was the state's fourth-biggest muni underwriter when Stifel bought it in 2011. In the five years preceding the acquisition, Stone & Youngberg managed $14.7 billion in bond sales in California, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Since October 2011, Stifel has overseen $7.9 billion of issuance in the state, the data show.
"It's not necessarily Stone & Youngberg as the focus of our investigation," Wierenga said yesterday by telephone from Sacramento. "The focus is on unreported gifts. A lot of companies give gifts. Those have to be reported."
Stephen Heaney, a Stifel managing director in Los Angeles, didn't respond to telephone calls and e-mail messages seeking comment. Linda Olszewski, a company spokeswoman in St. Louis, didn't respond to e-mail after regular business hours.
Stone & Youngberg managed sales in two San Diego County school districts that pushed the largest debt payments decades into the future through capital-appreciation bonds. The Santee Unified School District sold $3.5 million in 2011 with no payment due until 2026 and $40.3 million payable in 2051. The Poway Unified School District deferred to 2033 all payments on $105 million in bonds issued in 2011, with interest totaling $1 billion.
'Abusive' Practice
State Treasurer Bill Lockyer criticized the practice as "abusive" and led a push in the legislature to cap interest costs at four times the principal.
Under California law, local elected officials must disclose gifts worth an aggregate of $50 or more. Gifts from a single source may not total more than $440 in a year. The state also prohibits elected officials from voting on matters from which they may personally profit.
Wierenga declined to provide details on the state's investigation such as the school districts or officials under scrutiny.

Toronto-area estates lawyer Charles Ticker was recently awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal.
The medal, which was awarded to Ticker by Minister of the Environment and Thornhill Member of Parliament Peter Kent, was created to mark the 2012 celebrations of the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's accession to the throne and honours significant contributions and achievements by Canadians.
In addition to running his busy law practice focused on estate litigation, mediation and estate administration, Ticker volunteers extensively in the community. Ticker has volunteered serving meals to the homeless over the last several years through the Out of the Cold program and is on a panel of lawyers providing pro bono wills to cancer patients through Wellspring Toronto. He also helps out with passport clinics for constituents in Thornhill.
Ticker is also a past board member and past president of Beit Rayim Synagogue, chair of the synagogue's cemetery committee and former recipient of the synagogue's volunteer of the year award. He has also worked as a volunteer for food drives, delivering Passover food packages.
Ticker's passion is playing keyboards with his band The Faded Genes. The band has played at various charity events in the Greater Toronto Area and Barrie.
"Volunteering has become part of my daily life. Volunteering has enriched my life as I find the experience so uplifting and energizing - as the saying goes it is better to give than to receive. I have also made lasting friendships with other volunteers. I am honoured to receive this medal and I accept it on behalf all Canadians who volunteer and give back to the community," says Ticker.
