A Donegal woman spoke on the issue of marriage equality to those in attendance at the Sinn Fein Ard Fheis at the weekend.
The referendum on marriage equality will take place on May 22nd this year.
Sinead Murray from the Donegal Youth Service was guest speaker at the Ard Fheis where she spoke of living in Donegal with her partner and their child. She told how they do do have "loving committed" relationships like theirs should be treated equally.
She said: "This Referendum is extremely close to my heart. I grew up in Donegal and I live there today with my partner and our child. We are a family just like any other but unfortunately our family does not have the same status and standing in society, nor does our family have the same legal rights and protection that's available to other families in the state.
"Loving committed relationships like the relationship I have with my partner should be treated equally. I should be allowed to share the same responsibilities, obligations and respect that marriage provides.
Ms. Murray said the referendum was "fundamentally about equality."
She added: " Unfortunately same sex couples are treated as second class citizens in our country. But we now have a chance to change that, you have a chance to change our country for the better. It's time. It time to give love that is equal and equal right.
Ms Murray told those present that a 'yes' vote would "send a clear message to the rest of the world that this is a country that embraces diversity and equality."
She concluded: "I'll leave you with this - Two years ago my brother respectfully asked his father in law's permission to have his daughters hand in marriage.
"So now I stand in front of you and ask your permission to let me marry the woman I love."

Brett Dicker, Longtime Disney Marketing Exec, Dies at 63
He revolutionized the way national promotions were used in campaigns while at the company from 1987 until his retirement in 2010.
Brett Dicker, who spent almost a quarter-century in marketing at the Walt Disney Co. before retiring in 2010, died Tuesday of heart failure at his home in Woodland Hills. He was 63.
Dicker most recently held the post of executive vp marketing for Walt Disney Studios. He was involved in all aspects of developing and implementing marketing campaigns and strategies for animated and live-action motion pictures released under the Walt Disney, Touchstone and Pixar Animation Studios banners. His areas of responsibility included publicity, promotions and advertising.
"All of us in the industry who knew and worked with Brett have lost a great friend and beloved colleague," former Disney Studios chairman Dick Cook said in a statement. "In addition to being one of the nicest guys on the planet, he played an important role in revolutionizing the way national promotions were used in marketing campaigns for major motion picture releases.
"From his key negotiating role in the historic 10-year alliance with McDonald's in 1997, to other key strategic partnerships with major national companies over the years, Brett was a dynamic and innovative force who was respected by all his peers."
Dicker began his association with the company in 1987 as director of promotions for Walt Disney Pictures. Two years later, he was upped to vp promotions for Buena Vista Pictures Marketing, where he oversaw and coordinated all field promotional activities for Disney's regional agencies.
In 2000, he was named senior vp worldwide promotions for Disney Studios, and the following year he was promoted to executive vp marketing for Buena Vista Pictures.
Among the major animated blockbusters that he was involved in marketing were such titles as The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, Toy Story, Monsters, Inc. and Finding Nemo. His live-action successes include the National Treasure films, Armageddon, The Rock, Pearl Harbor, Remember the Titans and the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
Dicker was born in Brooklyn on Nov. 28, 1949. He launched his career in the entertainment industry with marketing and promotional roles at United Artists and MGM before joining Disney in 1987.
Among his more notable assignments during that time, he served as foreign publicity coordinator for Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now (1979).
Survivors include his son Matthew, daughter Katharine, sister Tracey, brother Devon and father Mace. His wife of 27 years, Jody, died in 2010.
A memorial service, open to the public, will be held at 5 p.m. Friday at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that donations can be made in his name to the National Kidney Foundation.

Airports and Arizona
Airports are an interesting beast. Despite their best efforts to be secure and orderly, they generally disintegrate into a maelstrom of chaos.
I happen to be in the heart of the maelstrom as I write this.
I honestly feel sorry for people who work at airports. Ticket counter representatives, security, customer service, all receiving a non-stop barrage of pissed off travelers. An old lady behind me just yelled at the ticket agent because our flight is two hours delayed and the gate just changed. Obviously the ticket agent is solely responsible for the plain being stuck in Oakland with mechanical issues.
I just hope she didn't check in any baggage.
I arrived a little over an hour before takeoff having followed my typical preflight routine: I never pack until about an hour before I have to leave and usually arrive at the airport a little over an hour before my flight. Saves time and stress, and I have yet to forget anything important or miss flight (knock on wood).
When I arrived this morning, I was a little surprised. The line for the Southwest Airlines ticket counter wrapped around multiple times and extended OUTSIDE to the curb dropoff area.
Just peachy.
As I searched for the end of the line, I realized several E-ticket check in kiosks were curiously available. Then I looked back at the line and realized all these poor souls (SUCKERS!!!) had to check in bags. I smugly strolled passed everyone, to the E-ticked check in.
Bodda Bing Bodda Boom, I'm at my gate patiently waiting as Old Women are yelling and an annoying kid is running around screaming as if he's playing the best game in world.
And now it's time to board.
So I'm sitting here at the Tempe Starbucks on Mill Ave. getting ready to meet my friend Heather for dinner before heading back to San Diego. This was my first trip to Arizona. I came down for an interview at Arizona State's Business College for the MBA program which is top 30 in the nation.
I've been strolling around campus all day today in a suit and tie. Normally I would feel very businessman like, however my backpack pretty much makes me look like a college kid playing dress up.
After my interview, I went for a stroll down Mill, and stumbled upon an ice cream shop that was having its "Grand Opening." Hmmm...guess I should see what all the hype is about and have some. A little while later whilst doing some more afternoon strolling, I see another shop advertising it has the "Best Ice-cream Sandwiches EVER!"
Naturally, I peek in only to have a look. I honestly wasn't intending to buy anything. Somehow though, the people inside managed to say EXACTLY the right combination of words, and I happily continued down the street with a Cookie-ice-cream-sandwich in hand.
I have no self-control.
If I end up going to ASU though, I sense this place healthily contributing weekend "cheat" days.
So down I'm back in San Diego. I'm working for 2.5 days before heading up to Mammoth for a little skiing.
It's a tough life I live ;)

We started out with a couple of lounging shots fully clothed. I particularly like this one.
I know this is a weird thing to feel self conscious about, but sometimes I feel like my eyes are too light colored. Sometimes they have almost no color at all (the color is technically called gray and sometimes it seems like they prefer to be almost cloud like). I feel like the eyes help define a face.
Now we moved to the bathtub in a white cami. I particularly like this shot. The angle, the positioning, and the pose are just all fab. Those are also some of my favorite earrings.
Now we changed to a sheer white robe that I thew in last minute. Good thing I did because we used it the most during this portion of the shoot.
And this was my favorite photo from the set. Getting my hair wet.

This year has been one of reunions, and with theirs Swedish experimental punk rockers Refused stirred a bit of commotion from Coachella through last night, which marked the reunited band's first proper show at a Los Angeles club, and their final gig on American soil.
See also: *The 20 Worst Hipster Bands
*Top 20 Greatest L.A. Punk Albums of All Time
"When we started the band I was an angry, angry man. When we toured the States in 1996, our goal was to burn your whole fucking country to the ground," vocalist Dennis Lyxzén said with a laugh before admitting a newfound admiration for American fans. "We're so happy to be here with all of you beautiful people."
Each of the band's members performed as if he were still playing sweaty basement shows that were getting broken up by the cops in the late '90s. Lyxzén eccentrically flailed and lunged across the stage, swinging his microphone and kicking its stand as sweat flew from his blond mop of hair.
During their 75-minute-long set, Refused played selections off of 1998's The Shape Of Punk To Come, and 1996's Songs to Fan the Flames of Discontent, and gave us a little surprise by playing a rare tune off The E.P. Compilation. The song was "Circle Pit," and one promptly kicked off.
"There is just something about Los Angeles and San Francisco," the singer said after finishing the song. "You all love circle pits. It must be in your genes or something over here."
Though the charismatic frontman exerted high energy throughout, he lost control during the rowdy song "Refused Are Fucking Dead." About halfway through, he climbed on top of one of the speakers, still clutching the microphone. He screamed into the mic, all the while eying the audience. His devoted fans knew what was coming next -- the lean singer bent over and extended one leg toward the crowd, and then the other, and like magic he was standing on the crowd, his feet being held up vertically by his fans. A girl rose to his level, they high-fived and both fell into the arms of the audience as it guided them back to the stage.
If that was Lyxzén's turn to let loose, with the band's first encore and most popular song, "New Noise." The track's experimental, electro-tinged intro is so distinctive that as soon as the first note buzzed, the audience was at full-throttle. Water bottles flew across the venue, the sea of people writhed as fans moshed and crowd surfed. It was as if this was the audience's way of saying "thank you," to their Swedish heroes before sending them off
By the time the set was over, everyone dripped with sweat and Lyxzén had lost his dapper button-up shirt, vest and ascot, revealing his heavily tattooed torso. He paused at the end of their last song, "Tannhäuser / Derivè," to say a final thank you, and before he and his bandmates exited the stage they stood in the middle and took a bow as the crowd roared.
Personal Bias: I don't mosh anymore, but I'll make an exception for Refused.
The Crowd: Punk rockers old enough to have listened to Refused back in the '90s.
Random Notebook Dump: The band's merch shirts said "Free Pussy Riot."

So Diesel decided to go highfashion,, at the NY fashionweek they launched a new collection called Diesel Black Gold. This collection is going to be sold at exclusive selected stores and of course in the Diesel stores. What is new to see from this italy based brand is that they have toned it down… A LOT. This collection is dominated by black and grey colours. I like some of the collection, but a lot of it is just -blah-. I'm going to let it slide being that this is their first shot at this "fashion-genre" but I seriously hope that they shape up with the next collection. But nevertheless feast your eyes on the Diesel Black Gold collection;
ps. don't know why you can't see half of the pics, but just click on the pic to view it in full mode…

I like Marni, but I must admit there isn't especially much of their collection I would wear, it is a bit too mature for me. I can imagine I would go batshit crazy for it if I was older, but don't get me wrong I do appreciate the elegance and finesse behind it. Also I was checking out their website/online store and found a couple of items I would love for this fall. fx these jackets
So pretty

Cate Blanchett betrayed: Hubby caught out with TV star
Cate Blanchett is in the grips of an unwelcome scandal after her husband was caught getting very close to Love Child star Harriet Dyer.
The exclusive photos and video show Andrew Upton – Cate's husband of nearly 20 years – on a night out with the gorgeous 27-year-old actress, with the pair putting their arms around each other, holding hands and flirting while knocking back drinks at a Sydney bar.
The footage shows father-of-four Andrew, 50, affectionately squeezing Harriet's shoulder several times, with the blonde grabbing his arm often as they spoke, and nuzzling in close to talk to him. At one point, Andrew can be seen standing a metre away from Harriet, who plays Patricia Saunders on the hit drama series, to play pool – until she drags him back to stand by her side so they can continue their close conversation.

text: A bit dissapointed to crash out just as I was starting to find a rythem. I decided on a 3 stopper which I knew wouldn't be winnig strategy, but I was only hoping for a top 10. I lost some positions at the start going into T1 which I made back in T5 when there was a bit of a pileup. Was sitting in 11th behind Kurt I think. I was keeping close to his rear waiting for him to make a mistake and in the second last corner he almost did and I definately did when I lighty nudged him as he scubbed off speed after getting into the corner too fast. I was too close. The result was me spinning off, loosing my front wing and having to let the whole field pass before I could get to the pits. Then for a long time I was alone in 15th I think until I caught up with P7 an P8 (Kurt and Philipp) who I had a nice battle with even though it was only to unlap myself. I was a bit lighter I think but the passes were great. I think they may have helped me out a bit though. This was all undone when I spun in the last corner and ahd to do it all over again which was just as much fun as before :biggrin: Then on lap 20 I went ever so slightly coming out of T2 which sent me shooting off to the left and into the wall :frown: Race over. I seriously need to get new mechanics who can replace missing wheels... Thanks to everyone for a fun night. Maybe next race I can actully finish.

One week later.....
I've grieved my friend Brad for exactly one week -- although I don't think the actual 'grieving' began until last Tuesday or so. Monday was strictly shock I think.
So, I've cried buckets for the past six days, but I think that for Carrie's sake I need to move past the sobbing, grieving friend and on to the rock hard, supportive friend she's going to need...easier said than done I guess. I've had moments today where I've broken down and lost it, but I'm trying to keep it together.
I thought I would share this nice article about Brad. The picture is one my husband took on the beach in Long Boat Key when we were all on Spring Break together back in March. You'll agree, they're a beautiful family. The one in the middle is my daughter's BFF.
I am planning on making something for dinner tonight, which I think is a good thing. A little normalcy would be welcomed in A Corner of My Kitchen. And thanks, everyone for your nice comments. It's so nice to have Cyberfriends!

Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) Mexico
Frida Kahlo was born in Mexico City, Mexico in 1907. Kahlo started painting 1925 after a bus crash that left her confined to bed for a long time. She mainly painted self portraits that reflected various events in her life, and is celebrated by feminists for painting an uncompromising image of the female form and experience. She was also a devoted communist and married the Mexican painter and communist Diego Rivera in 1929. Their many times quite stormy relationship turned out to be the inspiration for many of her portraits.

This is because when workforce pull your socks up cynical feelings for Lean concepts mortal implemented, it becomes immensely unacknowledged for the system to granary their thorough buttress and cooperation, thing that is imperative for the sure-fire enforcement of Lean concepts and methodologies. Large degree member of staff disillusionment can in turn around besides start touching the ability of products or services, thing that will be pretty humourous because the unsophisticated tenets of 'Lean' circumstance that element should ne'er be compromised spell work way to moderate effective reimbursement.
What organizations oftentimes founder to comprehend is that the primary aim of Lean concepts is to trade name untaken unutilized or underutilized capacities, just now extant inside the organization, which can consequently be used for delivering new products or employment. This is specifically how a Lean management should try to diminish work reimbursement rather than reduction the head count.
Using Lean Techniques Such As ACFCPost ads:

For reaction functioning costs in the accurate manner, businesses can employ strong Lean techniques specified as ACFC that tiered seats for 'At The Customer, For The Customer'. This method was original utilised by the General Electric Company and since after it has verified so efficient that it is now woman in use by many an different transnational corporations, plus big calumny such as as Siemens, Xerox and 3M. This method is reasonably different from established Six Sigma techniques and methodologies because it functions as a quantity of the present bargain hunter situation and straight affects the buying conduct of clients.
Lean projects involving ACFC are managed straight by Green Belts and Black Belts who are necessary to appendage solitary the record strategical bargain hunter accounts so as to rearrange the conduct and standard of the deliverables in accordance next to specific buyer inevitably and expectations. Most ACFC projects that condition to be realised within a 45-day cycle, and aim at ratification on the benefits not single to the consumers but also to other incidental to entities such as as suppliers. As such, ACFC industrial plant most favourable for organizations readying to convert their suppliers into full-time company partners.
How It WorksPost ads:

The aims and objectives of the ACFC technique may be comparatively various from conformist Six Sigma tools and techniques, but it inactive relies on whatsoever of the traditionalistic Six Sigma methodologies such as DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) and DMADV (Define, Measure, Analyze, Design and Verify). The ACFC course of action involves distinguishing and ranking new gross coevals opportunities, after which the possibleness that holds the most eventual for income coevals is preferred for conversion to an helpful Lean Six Sigma hang over.
To pull off the best viable grades from ACFC jut out over implementations, it is essential to chew over the expenditure factor as fit and not simply the receipts potential, during the pick process. Once this is done, businesses will have no problems whatever in reduction the functioning costs and that too, in need having to resort to activist measures such as retrenchment.

Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal offered a fantastic surprise to players after beating the Elite Four - you could go back to the Kanto region from the first generation and visit all your favorite old locations again. With both the Johto and Kanto regions to explore, sixteen gyms to conquer, and tons of Pokémon to catch, it was an exciting experience.
Since then we've visited more regions like Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos, but no other Pokémon game has allowed players to visit multiple regions. A longtime dream of Pokémon fans is a game that includes all regions, and Pokémon X and Y director Junichi Masuda recently discussed that possibility in a Q&A session on Twitter.
If we could come up with a way to really make that interesting, then it's something we'd implement – but for me, personally, as a theory, I think it would be more fun for us all to enjoy different locations and then share that experience together than all have the same experience in the same region. — Junichi Masuda
Well, there you have it, Pokéfans! If you want to see all six regions, it has to be done in an interesting way, so send your best game ideas to Game Freak and make it happen! Okay, so maybe that's not the best course of action, but it's still something many players would like to see happen.

7th Annual San Jose Indoor
April 6th 2013
Promoted by P&D Promotions
Santa Clara County Fairgrounds
P&D Promotions, Pete and Diane Francini, and their crew have outdone themselves once again with their promotion of another outstanding indoor event. The 7th Annual San Jose Indoor short track proved to be their best yet. The weather was perfect, not too warm, no rain and not too cold with the doors open and exhaust fans in them to ventilate the arena. Competition was outstanding on the track with off the hook racing throughout the evening. The stands were full of enthusiastic fans cheering on their favorite riders. Storage Wars, Barry Weis, was also in the crowd to cheer the riders on.
Friday�s practice, held the day before race day each year, provides the riders the opportunity get their bike suspension set up straightened out. It also puts the first layer of rubber down to create the tacky fast racing surface for Saturday night�s main event. In the �old days� of the 60�s coca cola syrup was used to get the tackiness needed.
Seven classes and a dash for cash included 95 entries all competing for the top spots. The progressive program includes time trials, heat races, semis and main events in each class. Kennedy Trucking, Jerry Kennedy, and the fans provided the dash for cash award of more than $1100. During breaks between races items were tossed into the crowd thanks to OSH, Perri Turner, Avon Products, Motion Pro, Alpine stars, Cycle Gear and many others. Thanks to our advertisers that included our program cover and full page sponsors Motor Caf� of Sunnyvale, Roadrider Accessories of San Jose, Steven�s Creek Toyota of San Jose, and Circle Bell Racing, promoters of both the Sacramento and Santa Rosa miles, we were able to provide a program purse of over $5,000 for the winning riders.
Tony Alves claimed his 6th consecutive victory in the 150-230 Pro class after getting the hole shot and leading the 6 rider pack from pole to pole. John Self and Rodney Spencer Jr. followed him also riding in the second and third positions pole to pole. At age 70 Nick Theroux led the 150-230 amateur class to the checkers in front of Kerry Pucio and Scott Whittaker.
Chris Rudy aboard his Harley Davidson Sprint won the brakeless class heat race but his one and only competitor Richard Luhdorff got the lead off the line and maintained that lead through all twelve laps of the main. Rudy pushed him from the rear on his back wheel and coming along beside him several times throughout the race but ultimately Rudy slid out and was unable to make the pass.
Five heats of riders competed for placement in the Vintage Class main event. Following a single file restart after a 3rd lap crash Dana Perri remained the front runner to the finish. The nine riders behind him gave the crowd a show as they competed for position throughout this twelve lap main.
Six riders formed the Run What You Brung class. It was Lee Yetter that got to the first turn first where he remained through lap eight. In lap nine Anthony Torres was able to get around Yetter to take the pack to the checkers. Behind them Danny Delmenico was battling corner to corner with Theroux for the third spot trading positions in the second lap Delmenico took the third position on the podium. Torres was noticeably the happiest rider of night with his victory.
The dash for cash consisted of the top four pro riders from time trials. Jared Mees, Stevie Bonsey, Dominic Colindres and Kayl Kolkman. At the green light Bonsey got the jump with Mees rubbing him corner to corner. Colindres and Kolkman followed while Mees tried every trick to get around Bonsey. Bonsey held Mees off in a rub and bump competition to the finish.
Greg Ferguson was first off the start line in the Legends A main but it took only one lap for Robert McDonnell to get under him to take the lead to victory. Bar banging Larry Silva was working his way and the other riders to gain position but ended up in a tangle with Brad Spencer knocking them both into the last places on the track. They both managed to gain a couple of places by the checkers.
Good friends on and off the track Steven Sandman and David Nicholson finished the Legends B main first and second respectively. Sandman go the hole shot with Roy Taboda working to get around him. They battled through lap 7 when Taboda slid out give the second spot to Nicholson followed by Perri Turner.
Santa Clara County Fairgrounds
March 31, 2012
The 6th Annual San Jose Indoor was an event to remember. The house was packed to standing room only for this show. With the pits indoors the spectators could get a pit pass to talk to the riders and enjoy the day without the threat of rain that was looming outside. The track remains the same as it was in the 60�s a bullring short track inside a chain link cage/fence with bleachers all the way around.
Proud to list our sponsors, Motion Pro who provided shirts to our infield workers, Moto Caf� that provided the generator for the start light, Faultline Power Sports for the die cast models that were auctioned for money for the dash for cash, Frank Nye/Engines Only for sponsoring the 150/230 class payout and San Jose Harley Davidson and Jerry Kennedy/Kennedy Trucking for sponsoring the dash for cash, Bob Bellino/Circle Bell Racing, Honda Kawasaki of Modesto and all of those that put ads in our program and provided throw outs for the crowd. And last but not least to the P&D family of workers that worked together to make this a smooth and fun event. THANK YOU to ALL!
The event started Friday afternoon with a practice to put some rubber down on the concrete for Saturday�s racing. Following the practice the riders and spectators enjoyed an old fashioned catered race Bar B Q complete with hot dogs, tri tip, salads and the best bench racing ever � Oh the stories and memories that were shared�.
As is usual the dash for cash was the first main event on the track. Six riders, the winners of each of the pro heat races competed for $1,000 cash. Dominic Colindres made a name for himself winning the cash when he was able to withstand four good moves from Jared Mees trying to move him over. Mees was later bumped himself and finished third behind Jethro Halbert.
Saturday�s racing included a brakeless class for the first time, that was a battle between Chris Rudy, Joe Simas and Richard Luhdorff. At the end of ten laps Rudy was in front at the checkers after capturing the lead from Luhdorff in lap seven. Luhdorff and Simas followed.
Young and upcoming Andrew Luker showed the rest of the Juniors the fast way around this little polished concrete track leading his class all ten laps to victories in both the heat and main events. Bronson Bauman and Chris Corbari finished the main second and third respectively. We will see more of these fast youngsters in years to come.
Brothers Robert and Larry Silva each sharing a heat race victory, came off the start line side by side in the Legends A main. After a single file restart lap Robert Bacosa had gotten past two others to take the second spot and in lap five Don Baily had moved up from his second to last position to third. Robert Silva, a multi-time winner of the Legends class was proud to finish first again.
John Larson, after winning his heat race, held off Perri Turner and Harold Raggio in the Legends B main event. Larson rode all ten laps in the front of this six rider pack.
Sixteen riders rode the vintage class four heat races competing for a spot in the ten rider main event. The first two from each heat race and the winner of each of two semis earned their spots. Robert Silva got the hole shot at the green light but Baily had taken the lead by the end of lap one with Larry Silva following on is back wheel. After a single file resart Robert Bacosa was working his way through the pack to take the lead from Baily in lap six. Behind him Robert Silva was battling back to the front. Meanwhile Roy Taboda was working hard to claim the third position from Larry Silva. The race finished Bacosa, Robert Silva, Taboda and Robert McDonnell who had come through the pack from the back for fourth. Past winners are 2007 Paul Herman, 2008 Tony Alves, 2009 Rod Spencer, 2010 Robert Silva, and 2011 Dana Perri.
Four heats of four riders competed for the 150/230 ten rider main event. By far the roughest race of the night it was bar banging, pushing and taking each other out from start to finish. Tony Alves missed all the excitement riding all ten laps in the lead with Chris Canepa behind him for eight of those laps. Kerry Puccio was taken out in lap three and the race was called after Canepa who had been bumped lost control of his bike taking himself, Anthony De Mario, the start light and some of the track workers out in lap ten. Brooke Shaw got around Canepa just prior finishing second behind Alves. Alves has been the winner 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and now 2012.
Twenty three riders were vying for a place in the Open Pro ten rider main event with the chance to win $2,000 or $1350 for second. The winners of six heat races and four semis made the class. With that much money on the line last year�s winner Jared Mees was looking for another victory. The competition was stiff with GNC riders Kayle Kolkman, Mikey Rush, Jethro Halbert, Chad Cose and the dash for cash winner Colindres riding this class. The light went green and it was Halbert, Mees and Briar Bauman into turn one. Second lap Kolkman and Rush had gotten by Bauman and Mees and it was Halbert and Kolkman wheel to wheel with Rush on the back end. Halbert gained some ground putting a bike length between himself and Kolkman, Mees was on Rush and a crash and single file restart on lap five. With fifteen laps to finish Halbert maintained his lead and Kolkman stayed on him. Rush worked hard to maintain the third position, Mees was pushed out in lap eight allowing Cose to get by him for the fourth position. The race finished Halbert, Kolkman, Rush, Cose and Colindres. Halbert was the winner of the first annual in 2007 followed by Jimmy Wood in 2008, Mees in 2009, Jake Johnson in 2010 and Mees again in 2011.
The 7th Annual San Jose Indoor will be held next year on the last weekend in March in conjunction with the Britsh Bike Show. Hope we see many of you there and thank you again for your support!!

House clearance checklist
Despite the excitement and anticipation of what is to come, moving home is, without a doubt, a stressful domestic project. Most people are likely to shudder at the thought of a full house clearance. After all, manually shifting your life from one place to another can be both physically and emotionally demanding.
Getting everything organised, in line, and under control, is key to a successful and streamlined transfer. This means planning your property clearance in advance, as far ahead as a month prior to the big move.
The 5 fundamentals of your property clearance checklist
Three to four weeks before the intended moving date, it's time to begin putting plans in place. Whether you're coordinating a finicky flat clearance or a huge house clearance, there are five vital essentials that should make every checklist.
- Start looking around for a professional and affordable house clearance and removal company. You need a flexible company on board, one that is willing to go that extra mile, tailoring their services to suit your home clearance needs.
- Buy your double wall cardboard moving boxes, bubble wrap, and heavy duty packing tape in bulk, online. Many companies will offer free or discounted delivery on large orders. Good quality products will help ensure your possessions remain intact during transit.
- Consider any junk, old furniture, or waste that will require correct disposal in line with government guidelines. It is a legal requirement to select a property clearance company that is registered with the Environment Agency. Give any old clothes or unwanted miscellaneous items to friends and family, or donate them to your local charity shop.
- Arrange for any unwanted homewares or waste to be collected from your property well before the day of the move. In addition to any removal services used, a property clearance company will clear space and save you money. It is a time and cost efficient solution.
- Contact your local authority and inform them of your intention to move. They will want to take care of the logistics, such as reassessing your council tax payments and registering your children at a local school.
Putting your plan into action
With a well-constructed system in place, you can now get stuck into packing and stacking, in preparation for your move.
Don't fall into the trap of allowing yourself to become buried by the pressure of timescales against the magnitude of the task in hand. Simply work through things methodically, checking off each job on completion.
- Up to a month before you move, box up bits and pieces that you are unlikely to need over the coming weeks. Just filling a few boxes a day, during the working week, can really reduce the final workload. Don't forget to tape them down securely!
- Make care arrangements for young children and pets for moving day. If possible, continued care surrounding the move can be helpful too.
- Get in touch your work, bank, credit card companies, the post office, all utility suppliers, and Inland Revenue. Inform them of your moving date.
- Register with local healthcare providers near to your new home.
- Keep all important documents together, in a safe place. Ideally, do not box these up with your other possessions. Rather, keep them secure in your car on the day of the move.
- As you leave your property, switch off all electricity and gas supplies to the home from the mains.

Your name
Mercator prepared an animated slide presentation for the speech made to the RUSNANOTECH Third Nanotechnology International Forum 2010 by Anatoly Chubais, director general of the Rusnano corporation.
The presentation helped the audience to fully understand the facts and figures, as well as successfully supplemented television coverage of the event (which can be viewed in its entirety on the website for the television channel Russia 24).
Vladislav Maksimov, Advisor to RUSNANO CEO:
«Not all of our contracted partners are able to stand up to the kind of intense pressure under which RUSNANO operates in the period leading up to the forum. Mercator handled it very well, and not for the first time either. You do not simply follow the client's wishes, but also offer your own visual solutions, and are able to convincingly prove your point of view, even if doing so complicates your own task. The result is, as always, irreproachable. Thank you!»
Andrey Skvortsov, CEO of the Mercator Group:
«We were faced with a difficult task. On the one hand, a good presentation had to contain a minimal amount of text, while on the other, all the numerical information had to be visually accessible to the viewers, especially in the television version. In my opinion, the result fully satisfied both criteria».
Anatoly Chubais, RUSNANO CEO, Chairman of the Executive Board:
«Many thanks for your work!»

Hi guys,
I have a AMD Radeon HD7850 GPU in my Intel hackintosh build. The issue with it is that when I use Clover's FakeID to spoof it as a supported card, after it says "GPU HW <something>" from the kernel, the screen will assumably go black, and then nothing is displayed when I assume the login screen is displayed. I have tried testing all the ports on the card, from DVI, HDMI and the 2 Mini DisplayPorts through a MiniDP to DP adapter, but it seems that the GPU is outputting to some odd output, or just giving a black screen.
The only way to rescue the machine is... and I'm sorry to say... the reset button.
My configuration is a ASRock H81M Motherboard, with a HD7850 2GB HIS GPU (Real ID in Clover = 6819, Spoof ID = 0x68181002).
Parameters used:
FakeID [ATI] = 0x68181002 (set as per Clover wiki)
InjectATI = True
FB Config = Futomaki (is this even needed? Tried booting without this set, still the same black screen)
Ports = 5 (Default setting, but I only have 4 Ports)
I really want to use the GPU on the DVI Port. Is there a way to say to the card that I want it to output to the DVI port, or which output I want to use?
I appreciate the help, this is driving me nuts, but this hackintosh has worked mostly out of the box with a few mods to the kexts to enable audio, etc.

The story continues to touch on the live of former B Team members and their families while new characters and situations are introduced.
THE NEWSLETTER: Ram and Elora move into temporary quarters at Jefferson Unit to protect mother and baby. Storm gives a surprising answer when he's tapped by Sol to replace him as Jefferson Unit Sovereign. Litha solicits her father to help Black Swan.
THE SURPRISE: B Team learns the shocking truth about the origin of the vampire virus. Monq races to develop a defense system to repel invasion by Stasnare terrorists and assassins.
THE ADVENTURE: Desperation drives Stalkson Grey to embark on an adventure beyond his wildest dreams in a bid to save the Elk Mountain werewolves from extinction.
THE ROMANCE: In the process of migrating the Elk Mountain werewolves to a new home, Grey learns that true love can find you in the strangest places, even when you're far, far from home.
The rest of the story keeps us up to date with the B Team members I love to hear about and the search for a way to prevent trans-dimensional invasions. We get to see a lot more of Glen, who is also becoming a favorite of mine. (Is it possible for every character to be my favorite?) With big changes coming up for Jefferson Unit, there's lots to look forward to in the next book.
