The Outer Hebrides (also known as the Western Isles, Scottish Gaelic: Na h-Eileanan Siar) are the westernmost chain of islands in the Hebrides, west of the Scottish Highlands.
- Lewis and Harris - two parts of the one island divided by a mountain range.
- Great Bernera
- Berneray
- North Uist
- Benbecula
- South Uist
- Eriskay
- Barra
- St Kilda
Towns and villages[edit]
- Balivanich - the biggest village on Benbecula
- Castlebay - the main village on Barra
- 1 Leverburgh - a village at the south of Harris
- Lochmaddy - the main village on North Uist
- 2 Stornoway - the only town, on the Isle of Lewis
- 3 Tarbert - the main village in Harris
Other destinations[edit]
The Outer Hebrides are a fascinating destination. The scenery is beautiful. The landscape is rocky and mountainous, but also lush and verdant - due in no small part to the large amounts of rain which tend to fall. It is easy to find a quiet peaceful spot.
The Gaelic language and culture is appealing. At a practical level this means that place names on road signs are in Gaelic, but the bus timetables use the English names!
Religion still plays an important part in many people's lives. In Lewis and Harris this is often in the form of Protestant Churches. As a result the Sabbath (Sunday) is respected, so you are unlikely to find shops etc. open on a Sunday. Activities happening on a Sunday often are opposed locally. In contrast Barra and South Uist are mainly Catholic, and many businesses typically open after midday on a Sunday. Benbecula is half-Protestant and half-Catholic, and one can still find businesses open on a Sunday there.
The main languages are Gaelic (Gàidhlig) and English, with Gaelic (pronounced in English as 'gallick') being the dominant language in people's homes. However, outside their homes, Gaelic is mainly used as a social and cultural language. Virtually all Gaelic speakers over the age of 5 speak English to a near-native fluency.
Most modern maps and road signs show the local place names in Gaelic with the English name shown below, usually in a smaller and often illegible font. However, bus timetables will exclusively use their English names as will locals when speaking English.
Get in[edit]
By boat[edit]
Caledonian MacBrayne is the national ferry service. Citylink coaches generally connect with the ferries on the mainland.
- Uig on Skye to Tarbert (Harris) Mon-Sat one or two per day taking 1 hour 40 minutes.
- Uig on Skye to Lochmaddy on North Uist Mon-Sun one or two per day taking 1 hour 45 minutes.
- Mallaig to Lochboisdale on South Uist daily taking 3.5 hours.
By air[edit]
In the Outer Hebrides, there are airports in Stornoway in Lewis, Benbecula and Barra. These airports provide direct flights to Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Inverness. The airport in Barra is one of the most spectacular in the world, with planes landing on a three-mile beach at low tide, but this does mean that the flight times vary with the tide.
Get around[edit]
By boat[edit]
- Caledonian MacBrayne. The national ferry service. Details below are for Summer 2006:
Berneray to Leverburgh on Harris Daily 3-4 per day, taking 1 hour.
Eriskay to Barra Daily, up to 5 per day, taking 40 minutes.
By bus[edit]
There are good bus services during the day Monday 'thru Saturday, but little in the evening and no buses on a Sunday.
Many of the islands are linked by road causeways and bridges. Causeways now link to Eriskay from South Uist, and to Berneray from North Uist. The first link built was across the South Ford between South Uist and Benbecula in 1942, followed by the North Ford between Benbecula and North Uist in 1960, the Berneray causeway in 1999 and the Eriskay Causeway in 2001.
The Western Isles Overland Route is a combination of bus and ferry journeys which allow travel from Stornoway to Barra in one day.
By bicycle[edit]
The Outer Hebrides are popular for cycle tourists, generally taking around a week to cycle from Barra to Stornoway.

Seabirds can be see on beaches and on sea cliffs. St Kilda is an extremely good place for seeing seabirds.
- In summer wild flowers can be seen. The most colourful display is the medley of coastal flowers on the machair (sandy soil near the sea), which is usually in bloom in July.
- Seals and occasionally otters can be seen on coastal rocks.
- Historic Scotland Properties:
- Museum nan Eilean in Stornoway
- Garenin Historic village - a village of black houses in Lewis
- Bostadh Iron Age House on Great Bernera
- Western Isles Overland Route - the bus and ferry journey from Barra to Lewis.
- Play Golf. at one of the island golf courses: Askernish on South Uist, Scarista on Harris, Stornoway or Benbecula
- There are several banks on the islands in Stornoway, Tarbert, Lochmaddy, Balivanich, Lochboisdale and Barra. The Royal Bank of Scotland also runs mobile banks (in a van) from Stornoway and Lochboisdale.
- Stornoway is the only town on the islands with a selection of shops comparable to a mainland town. It is the only place that you will find chain shops other than Co-op supermarkets. Stornoway has two large supermarkets, a chemist, hardware store, book shop and clothes shops.
- Elsewhere in the islands there are several small Co-op supermarkets, and many independent stores which often sell groceries along with clothes or hardware. Although the shops are generally small, they manage to carry quite a varied stock.
- Newspapers arrive on the islands by ferry and so are often not available until lunchtime or later.
- Except in Stornoway, there are not many restaurants serving evening meals, and the local hotels may be the best (or only) option. In summer it is often advisable to book a table for dinner. There are also a few cafes which add to the daytime selection, or you may prefer to buy your own bread and cheese and make sandwiches.
- The seafood caught around the shores of the islands is excellent, and in particular it is worth trying the local shellfish such as scallops.
- Stornoway is famous for its black pudding (blood sausage), and you are likely to find this on breakfast menus.
- There are two good local bakeries whose products are sold in all the islands - Stag Bakeries in Stornoway and MacLean's Bakery in Benbecula. Their products may be more expensive than larger mainland bakeries but the extra is worth it.
- Pubs are not particularly common, and in some places the only choice may be the hotel bar.
- The bars in Castlebay and Eriskay often have live music on Friday and Saturday nights.
- In Lewis and Harris observation of the Sabbath means that any Saturday night music or drinking will end promptly at midnight or before. Almost no entertainment happens on Sundays (except on Barra and South Uist).
- The Hebridean Brewing Company brews beer in Stornoway, and this is widely available in bottles on the islands.
- The Isle of Harris Distillery in Tarbet distils gin and is starting work on 'The Hearach' whisky.

There are several other groups of Scottish islands, which have some similarities and some differences from the Outer Hebrides.
- Inner Hebrides, the main islands are: Tiree (which has a weekly ferry from Barra), Mull, Islay.
- Orkney Islands an archipelago of some 70 islands off the North of Scotland.
- Shetland Islands, some 100 islands (15 inhabited) to the north of the Orkney Islands.
- The islands in the Clyde, principally the Isle of Arran and the Isle of Bute.

As early as 1952, engineers at Boeing Aircraft were working on designs for a Super-Sonic Transport (SST) that could ferry passengers coast-to-coast or from Europe and Asia at twice the speed of sound. However, it wasn't until 1963 that President John F. Kennedy formally committed the U.S. government to backing such a venture, this in response to the joint British and French plan to build their own SST, the Concorde. By 1966, Boeing had settled on a swing-wing design with a droop-nose, designated the 2707, a plane capable of carrying up 350 passengers at 1,800 mph. In 1967, a canard was added to the plane, now designated the 2702-200. Although a mock-up of the aircraft was built and extensive wind-tunnel tests made, noise, cost and environmental concerns ultimately scuttled this ambitious project, leaving the SST field to the British, the French and - very briefly - to the Russians with their ill-fated TU-144.

Guggenheim Talks "Super-Zombies"
|"Super-Zombies" #1 on sale in March
Grossly heroic. Epically undead. Cannibalistic champions.
No matter how you put them together, smashing superhero ideas against zombie tropes makes for some oddly engaging ideas, and Dynamite Entertainment's March-launching "Super-Zombies" aims to combine brain eating and bravery in ways yet unseen in comic shops. Scripted by "Amazing Spider-Man's" Marc Guggenheim and CBS News' Vince Gonzales with art from Mel Rubi, the five-issue series explores a world where the genesis of superheroes similarly birthed a plague of undead "revivers," and it wasn't too long before the two groups intermingled.
"How the outbreak started and who started it is a mystery at the opening of the book, so I don't want to say much that will spoil things," Guggenheim told CBR with cards firmly against vest. "There may be a solution to the zombie outbreak, but the solution might have consequences that some people aren't willing to live with. Therein lies the central conflict of the piece. Who's going to win? What's going to happen to Earth? I won't spoil those questions here, but I will say that you'll get answers by the end of issue #5."
Guggenheim did reveal how his collaboration with Vince Gonzalez broke out onto the comics page after striking up a friendship at a Christmas party years ago – the on-screen reporter previously shared his own zombie pitch with the writer. "Vince's own zombie project was relevant [to 'Super-Zombies'] only insofar as it was symptomatic of his love of the zombie genre," Guggenheim explained. "What can I say? The guy knows his zombies. That's really why I wanted him for this project – I wanted to work with someone who had not just a familiarity with the ins and outs of the genre, but I genuine affection for it."
When asked whether or not his partner's zombie expertise labeled him "the superhero guy," Guggenheim admitted his experience at Marvel and DC came to bear in crafting a strong superhero world. "I'd say that both Vin and I have affection for superheroes and zombies. But you're right, I'm more of the superhero guy while he's the zombie guy. He's the chocolate and I'm the peanut butter.
|Page from "Super-Zombies" #1
"I've had a fair amount of experience writing the superhero genre. Obviously, if you're going to get experience working with those archetypes, there's no better place than Marvel and DC. The trick is to create a world where superheroes believably exist (and I don't mean believable in the suspension-of-disbelief sense, but rather in the sense of being tonally-appropriate). We worked very hard to create a cohesive, fully fleshed-out super-hero universe without merely Xeroxing some bastard stepchild of the DC and Marvel universes."
To that end, the flesh-eating capes-and-tights set who populate the series follow their own metaphorical guiding principals in the same way that DC operates with classic icons and Marvel with "feet of clay" characters. "All our heroes – and villains, we've got those, too – are very human in the sense that they're fearful, selfish, out for their own agendas, etc," said Guggenheim. "That kind of humanity is the cornerstone of the piece and, yes, it's impacted a great deal by the zombie epidemic. And might even be the key to ending it. Oooh. Mysterious."
In specific story terms, the cast of "Super-Zombies" breaks into three groups who are each faced with their own set of apocalyptic dilemmas. Fighting against the revivers both super and normal alike is the man who may be responsible for their existence – a scientist called Neuron.
"Neuron is a good choice for our main character – or, at least, one of our main characters – because he's a guy who has a super-power – the world's smartest man – but doesn't fly or have super strength or what not," the writer explained. "In other words, he can't solve this problem with his fists. He can't swoop around the Earth and scoop up all the zombies. He has to apply brainpower to the problem – while navigating a lot of political minefields."
Standing against Neuron's quest to cure the super zombies are a group of remaining heroes who haven't been infected by the plague, although Guggenheim promised that "there's a group of superheroes who protect Earth by not being on it. They're the superheroes you're scared of. For our story, they're the bull we're afraid is going to enter the china shop and break everything. We're afraid they'd burn the village to save it. Because they would."
|Page from "Super-Zombies" #1
A scorched earth policy may be humanity's only hope as the world runs rampant with nearly 40 powered characters who Guggenheim and Gonzalez developed from the ground up, including zombified New Jersey supervillain Blowtorch and his former foe Solid Citizen. Although all of the characters created won't get so much time in the spotlight. "You'll see all 40 over the course of five issues. Some will only get a mention in a double-splash – yeah, there are a few of those, but not too many. Others you'll meet and come to know quite intimately. Then there are ones who fall somewhere in the middle. We have various groups of characters – heroes, villains and non-powered people – whose storylines intersect and dovetail over the course of the series."
The last of these characters is a so-called "hidden hero" kept in cold storage by the government free from the reviver outbreaks. "Basically, he's the most powerful man on Earth. What that means is that of all the people on the planet, he's the last one you want to see get infected," Guggenheim revealed. "So it's probably not a great development when he escapes from cold storage. Of course he escapes. I don't think I'm spoiling anything here. You don't put the gun over the mantle if you don't plan on firing it over the course of the play, y'know?"
And guns firing (along with ray beams…they are super after, all) will overtake the series, which Dynamite hopes will prove popular enough to roll on into an ongoing comic. Of course, that's also contingent on the characters surviving the first wave of carnage. "Well, let's put it this way: Sometimes the cure is even worse than the disease," concluded Guggenheim.

Pranab miles ahead as NDA squabbles (Roundup)June 17th, 2012 - 9:49 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, June 17 (IANS) Two days after the UPA chose Pranab Mukherjee for presidency, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) was divided Sunday over the presidential elections. But former Lok Sabha speaker P.A. Sangma refused to quit the race despite appeals from his leader Sharad Pawar.
A meeting of the NDA attended by leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Akali Dal, Janata Dal-United (JD-U) and Haryana Janhit Congress and Janata Party's Subramanian Swamy failed to agree on a possible candidate after contrasting views emerged.
To make the matters worse, the Shiv Sena stayed away, apparently peeved over the NDA's delay in picking a presidential candidate.
With the NDA divided over supporting Mukherjee - perhaps in return for the UPA allowing the NDA to select a vice-president - or backing Sangma or a third person, no decision could be taken Sunday.
Bharatiya Janata Party leader L.K. Advani has been authorised to talk to have wider consultations with NDA chief ministers and other parties.
NDA convener Sharad Yadav of JD-U, which is said to favour Pranab Mukherjee, said: "NDA will meet sometime later again to take a decision in this regard."
The Shiv Sena is against Sangma, the presidential candidate of the AIADMK and Biju Janata Dal.
While JD-U and Akali Dal don't want the NDA to put up a candidate against Mukherjee, the Shiv Sena and Janata Party want a contest.
In 2007, the Sena went against the BJP and voted for Congress candidate Pratibha Patil because she is from Maharashtra.
With a peeved Pawar finally letting Sangma know that he should quit the race, the NCP leader from Meghayala Sunday requested Pawar to support him.
"I am still in the race," Sangma told reporters here. "Pawar is saying he will appeal to me to withdraw, and I appeal to him to support me."
He underlined that he was a candidate of the Tribal Forum of India, which had nothing to do with any political party.
Sangma admitted after talking to several NDA leaders that "they have some differences" over next month's presidential battle.
"I talked to Mamata Banerjee. She said she is supporting (former president A.P.J. Abdul) Kalam. I said as Kalam has opted out of the race, so you should support me."
The BJP, with the 2014 Lok Sabha election in mind, is trying to win over both Mamata Banerjee, whose ties with the UPA are strained, and YSR Congress founder Jaganmohan Reddy, the emerging force in Andhra Pradesh.
"We will consult all non-Congress parties. The aim is to build stronger relations (ahead of the) Lok Sabha poll," said a leader.
The Left parties will meet Thursday to take a final call on the presidential battle, said general secretary Prakash Karat of the Communist Party of India-Marxist.
As of now, Mukherjee is far ahead of everyone in the race. Even if Sangma contests with NDA support, Mukherjee is set to garner nearly half of all votes.
The presidential electoral college is made up of MPs and members of state assemblies.

The world is changing, and too often it is on the expense of our environment. Most of us turn a blind eye, assuming we can't do anything to improve the situation, but that's where we are wrong. There are a number of ways to how we, the average people, can help save our planet.
Since most of us don't like to break our daily routines, we have chosen five, very simple ways to become more environmentally friendly. Remember, it is all about taking small steps in the right direction. Let this be the first step to mend our planet.
Use a glass bottle
Plastics decompose slowly, and can also cause environmental problems, especially when the plastic ends up in the ocean. In addition, considerable resources are used to produce and transport plastic bottles. Instead, buy yourself a glass bottle and refill it with tap water. Are you lucky enough to live in Scandinavia, you have some of the cleanest water in the world right there in your sink.
We love: MyBKR bottles
Turn off your computer
Many of us choose to leave our computer in sleep mode instead of turning it off when we leave home or work. But did you know, by turning it off you can save 40-watt hours per day? If you don't like waiting for it to turn on in the mornings, go fill your water bottle or get a cup of coffee in the meantime.
Save water
Many of us let the water run while brushing our teeth. This is not only very unnecessary, but also bad for the environment. So, brush without running. If you think this is tricky remember that dentists now a days tell us to not use water when brushing anyway, it is better for your teeth. This should make it even easier.
Get yourself your own coffee cup
Have you ever thought of how many paper cups that are used to sell coffee around the globe? Or how many cups you use and then throw away in the office? Why not invest in a reusable cup? Not only is it environmentally friendly, but it also keeps your coffee hot much longer. Or maybe you have a favorite cup at home, why not have one at work or school as well.
We love: Bodum travel mug
Big NO NO to plastic bags
An average grocery store goes through thousands of plastic bags everyday, and at home we use plastic bags to store food and pack lunches. All this adds up to an unbelievable amount of plastic waste. Plastic takes many years to biodegrade and has a tendency to end up in places where it doesn't belong, like the ocean. So bring your own bag next time you go grocery shopping, and if not, at least try to choose the paper bags instead.
We love: Run & Relax Tote

In this The English We Speak podcast: Neil had a crying child in his room and Feifei had a mosquito in hers. That's why neither of them has slept a wink. Listen to this episode of The English We Speak to learn more about this phrase.
Neil: (Yawning) Welcome to The English We Speak with me – a very tired Neil – and Feifei.
Feifei: (Yawning) Hi, I'm Feifei.
Neil: Oh, Feifei, I'm so tired.
Feifei: Me too. The kids?
Neil: Ah, the kids kept me awake all night. As soon as one of them went back to sleep, the other one started screaming. What's your excuse?
Feifei: A mosquito.
Neil: A mosquito?
Feifei: Yes, there was a mosquito in my room. Every time I turned the light off and tried to go to sleep I heard buzzing in my ear. I haven't slept a wink.
Neil: And I haven't slept a wink either! A wink is when you close and open one of your eyes very quickly once – usually to show friendliness or that you are having a joke with someone. It's also a verb – to wink.
Feifei: So, if you say 'I haven't slept a wink' it means that you've had so little sleep, your eye didn't even close once!
Neil: That's right. It's an exaggeration. Here are some examples:
- A: You look terrible! What's the matter?
- B: I haven't slept a wink. It was a really bad idea to move to a flat next to a pub.
- A: How about a trip to the cinema tonight?
- B: Sorry I can't. I haven't slept a wink. There were cats outside fighting all night.
Neil: So, we can use 'I haven't slept a wink' to say that we are very tired because we haven't had much sleep. (Yawns) I can't wait to get home tonight and just jump into bed… I don't know how I'm going to get through the rest of this programme, let alone the rest of the day.
Feifei: Me neither.
Neil: Nice and quiet in here, though, isn't it?
Feifei: And dark.
Neil: Do you think anyone would notice if we just…
Feifei: That's a great idea! I'll just put these two chairs together.
Neil: And I'll rest my head on this desk and… (snoring).
(Sound of babies screaming and mosquitos buzzing)
Both: Argh! Kids! Mosquitos! Is there anywhere to sleep? Argh!

"Not many people realize the potential tax benefits that rare coins offer," Contursi said. "And in many cases, these benefits can help clients protect their estate or defer taxes in their portfolio."
Irvine, California (PRWEB) July 01, 2014
RCW Financial (RCW) released an in-depth article for investors, titled "Tax Advantages of Rare Coins" written by Attorney Armen R. Vartian.
The article provides extensive information on the tax laws impacting the buying and selling of rare coins — particularly the opportunities and advantages provided through these types of investments. Vartian covers seven distinct tax benefits investors can leverage by collecting these types of coins.
"There are some very unique advantages to investing in rare coins in terms of tax breaks and exemptions, and this article provides a great introduction to these outstanding opportunities," said Steve Contursi, President of RCW. "We've drawn on decades of experience in this field to give collectors and investors the knowledge and insights they need to make informed decisions about investing in rare coins."
In the article, RCW provides an overview of some of the most significant tax advantages available to rare coin investors, including exemptions from sales and use tax and several income tax benefits. There are also opportunities to defer taxes through "like-kind exchanges," as well as the ability to hold rare coins in individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and move them in and out of the United States duty free.
In addition, there are a number of benefits of leveraging rare coins when it comes to retirement and estate planning. The article highlights estate planning advantages such as how to step-up basis of coins to a spouse upon death.
"Not many people realize the potential tax benefits that rare coins offer," Contursi said. "And in many cases, these benefits can help clients protect their estate or defer taxes in their portfolio. This is the type of key information we provide in the article."
The principal of RCW has performed over $1 billion in rare coins transactions and have owned or participated in the purchase or sale of more than 70 of the 100 greatest U.S. coins. The company is one of the most trusted U.S. rare coin firms in the world.
Armen Vartian is an experienced attorney who has represented rare coin dealers, collectors and investors for more than 30 years. He is admitted to practice law in California, Illinois and New York. He has written several articles and books on legal issues related to buying and selling rare coins, art and collectables.

This little note came across my email earlier today.
The Western Hockey League will be hosting a WHL Officiating Development Camp this week in Calgary, Alberta, at the Father David Bauer Arena, from June 21-24. The camps feature classroom sessions, fitness sessions, instructional on-ice sessions, and game situations.
The camps are designed to assist with the personal development of all officials in attendance, and to evaluate prospect WHL officials in game situations.
In my opinion, they need to have one of these camps once a month during the offseason.
This past season was one of the poorest I've seen when it came to officiating, and it didn't improve with the playoffs.
I'm happy to see Kevin Muench and his staff taking steps to fix the problem.

2012 Multi-Purpose
Fact Sheet
Tampa, FL
EPA Brownfields Program
EPA's Brownfields Program empowers states, communities, and other stakeholders to work together to prevent, assess, safely clean up, and sustainably reuse brownfields. A brownfield site is real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant. In 2002, the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act was passed to help states and communities around the country cleanup and revitalize brownfields sites. Under this law, EPA provides financial assistance to eligible applicants through four competitive grant programs: assessment grants, revolving loan fund grants, cleanup grants, and job training grants. Additionally, funding support is provided to state and tribal response programs through a separate mechanism.
Multi-Purpose Pilot Grant
$400,000 for petroleum
($200,000 for assessment; $200,000 for cleanup)
EPA has selected the City of Tampa for a brownfields multi-purpose pilot grant. Petroleum grant funds will be used to assess and clean up the Encore Retail Expansion site located at 1103 N. Nebraska Avenue. Past uses of the site include an automotive repair shop, fueling station, and junk yard storage facility. Assessment grant funds will be used to conduct and report on geophysical, soil, and groundwater investigations of the site. Cleanup grant funds will be used to prepare a cleanup plan, clean up source material at the site, and prepare engineering and institutional control documents. The site is expected to be redeveloped as a grocery-store-anchored neighborhood retail center.
For further information, including specific grant contacts, additional grant information, brownfields news and events, and publications and links, visit the EPA Brownfields Web site (http://www.epa.gov/brownfields).

I'm participating in the Three Sleeping Beauties Blog Tour. Apparently, I start out all of my blog tour posts with that sentence. Oh, well, can't break the tradition now. I was given the chance to review this lovely book, and I present that review to you now.
Once upon a time, way out west...
Back when they were young'uns, Fleur Guardstone proposed to Rosette Thornbriar with a cigar band ring. However, not long after, she disappeared back into the forest and hadn't been heard from since. However, when Fleur hears reports of smoke coming from that woods, he's determined to find out if it is, indeed, his dear Rosette. If he can get past all of the briars.
This was a very cute little book. It is surprisingly short, and only took me a couple minutes to read. Sleeping Beauty has never been my favorite fairy tale, but I was able to enjoy this retelling very much. There is something about this author's writing style, something I can't put my finger on, that is very charming. Whatever it was, I liked it a lot. This author shows a lot of promise.
My review, like the book itself, is very short. Nevertheless, it is not too short to urge you to check out this book and the other two wonderful ones in this blog tour, and read them as soon as humanly possible.
About the Author
Rachel Roden is a natural story teller, capable of weaving the most hilarious of fairy tales. She fell in love with the Lone Ranger in her teens, but ended up with a basketball referee instead. Together, she and the Ref homeschool their four children in the Piney Woods of East Texas, as well as any other odd kid who ends up in their house. She might also be the sole human who still uses math after college.
You can order Rosette Thornbriar on Amazon or add it to your Goodreads!

Declaring Chrysler was not letting up on its "commercial vehicle market offensive," Joe Veltri, director of truck product marketing, described a range of enhancements to all Dodge commercial vehicles at a news conference at the NTEA Work Truck Show.
"Our new owners [of Chrysler] are committed to keeping us strong in this market," Veltri declared right off. "Since our return to this market in 2003, we have launched six vehicles — the Ram 2500 Box-Off; Ram 3500, 4500 and 5500 chassis cabs; the Sprinter; and the Grand Caravan Cargo Van.
According to Veltri, a long list of upgrades and enhancements can either be credited to 2008 models or are planned for 2009 models:
Fuel economy performance for 2008 Dodge Ram 4500 and 5500 chassis cabs is 23% better than competitors' models.
2008 Dodge Sprinter offers 25% better fuel economy than other vans.
2008 Dodge Ram 4500 and 5500 chassis cabs certified for up to 1,172 lbs.
2009 Dodge Ram 3500 chassis cab standard GCWR increased to 24,000 lbs.
Power take-off (PTO) pump ratings for all Ram chassis cabs increased 55%.
PTO prep package now available with Laramie trim-level trucks.
All-new ambulance prep package introduced for 2009 Dodge Ram 4500 and 5500 chassis cabs.
Upgraded brake system for 2009 Dodge Ram 3500 chassis cab extends service intervals and delivers maximum stopping power.
New 5.7L HEMI V8 with Variable Valve Timing delivers increased horsepower and torque ratings with improved fuel economy.
Cummins 6.7L diesel engine available with Remote Start (automatic only).
Veltri also noted that for small business owners, the 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan Cargo Van is optimized with a number of new factory upfit options. These include a new exterior vinyl window shading that can be applied to the outside window; both full- and half-width cargo dividers; wire mesh and solid metal window interior inserts; a cargo compartment floor mat; and carpeted and molded wall liners placed over the inside of the windows so others can't see inside.
Looking ahead, Veltri told Fleet Owner that Dodge will offer a new Cummins light-duty diesel — "being developed even as we speak" — sometime after the 2009 model year, and a hybrid-powered Ram 1500 half-ton pickup is in the works for the 2010 model year.

The first recall involves Lexus RX400 and Highlander models, as well as the Harrier and Kluger hybrids in Japan. The carmaker says the inverter system may cause the alarm to go off and prevent the hybrid from running. Some 141,000 vehicles are being recalled in the U.S. and 15,000 in Japan.
The second recall is for the Lexus GS350, IS350, Crown and Mark X models, including 106,000 vehicles in North America, and 59,000 vehicles in Japan. Toyota says the bolts may loosen, causing the engine to stall. An early warning sign includes an abnormal noise just after start-up.
No accidents have been reported in any of the recalled models. Vehicle owners will be notified about the recall through first-class mail, Toyota said. You can also get information from www.toyota.com/recall.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Deleted Scenes
Top Down Truck Stop
Originally, Pixar had a different idea for getting Lightning McQueen separated from Mack. In this deleted scene, Mack stops at Top Down Truck Stop to get a car wash after getting moths stuck in his grill. Lightning waits for Mack in his trailer, but after a while, he gets impatient and goes to find Mack. He sees a bunch of trucks at the gas station and thinks he might be there. There, he meet two waitresses, Mia and Tia, who were very excited to see him and have heard about his last race. Rusty and Dusty Rust-eze were there too, who were also excited. Meanwhile, Mack finishes his car wash and rushes back to Lightning's trailer, but not knowing Lightning left, he drives away without him. Back at the gas station, the trucks were trying to offer Lightning some headlights, but he decides he must go back to his trailer only to find it gone. He looks at the car wash, but Mack was not there either. He suddenly sees Mack driving down the Interstate, so he rushes after him, nearly crashing into another car after driving through a red light. He drives up the exit ramp, but finds out he is going the "wrong way." Suddenly, the the whole road is blocked by trucks, forcing Lightning to drive off the road. A watermelon truck dropped watermelons on him. Finally, Lightning got back on the road and continues looking for Mack.
Some elements from this scene made it into the final film. For example, Top Down Truck Stop appears and Mack considers stopping there, but to get some sleep, not to get a car wash. He does not stop there, though, after Lightning refuses to let him. Mia, Tia, Rusty and Dusty also appear, but their roles are different. Mia and Tia become waitresses at Flo's V8 Cafe at the end of the film, though. The scene where McQueen drives off the road after it is blocked by three haulers coming towards him is also in the final film.
Lightning finally catches up with Mack only to find out it was a different truck. The truck drives away angrily, leaving Lightning alone at the crossing. He suddenly sees the Interstate on his left, so he races towards it. However, clouds form overhead, making it too dark for Lightning to see, causing him to go off the road. He falls down a hill and crashes into a bunch of branches. While reversing out, he bumps into an old car with branches growing into it, freaking him out. He looks around and sees more old cars everywhere, including one hanging on the tree. He tries to get out of the graveyard, but ends up crashing into a fence, which gets tangled on him and the grill and headlights of one of the old cars. He manages to get back on the road, but the grill and headlights were still tangled in the fence. Lightning eventually gets untangled from the fence and drives away. This movie was cut from the film for unknown reasons, but its been implied that it would make the film too long, or because the writers found the scene itself to be too "nightmarish".
Community Service
Lightning is asked to do a race in Radiator Springs, but he turns it down, choosing to do standard community service instead. That night, while in the impound, he asks Mater what it is, but Mater claims he does not know and says good night. He wakes up the next morning, feeling kind of funny. He looks into a mirror and finds out that his engine has been put in a steamroller. He tries to escape, knocking down a portion of a fence, but Sheriff chases after him with his siren. He flips a switch on the back of Lightning, deploying a spout on top of Lightning that splats asphalt on the road. Then, a paint sprayer deploys from his rear and sprays the yellow line in the middle of the road. Meanwhile, Doc had put Mater's engine in Lightning's body, who is now racing around. Lightning was worried that Mater will wreck his old body since Mater keeps crashing. Suddenly, Mack shows up, but mistakes Mater for Lightning. Lightning tries to explain the situation, but nobody listens to him and Mack leaves with Mater in his trailer. Lightning tries to get Doc and Sheriff stop them, but they want him to continue fixing the road instead, much to his horror. However, Lightning wakes up again, finding himself in his regular body, revealing that the everything was just a dream. He sees the steamroller body on the side, though. Still freaked out, he decided to change his mind and do the race instead.
Motorama Girls
Radiator Springs is having a karaoke night and Lightning and Ramone were watching Flo performing. Lightning asks Ramone how he and Flo fell in love. In the story, the Motorama Girls came to Radiator Springs from Detroit, Michigan after their chaperone broke down. While she is being fixed, the girls decide to have some fun with the townsfolk. They drank oil with Sarge and Fillmore, danced the conga and had water sprayed on them by Red. Then, they come to Ramone's and Ramone gives them paint jobs. He eventually gets to the last car, but he drops his air brush in awe. Flo asks, "What's the matter? You're too good to paint me?" Ramone says, "No, baby. You're too good for me to paint. I can't touch a classic." The next day, the Motorama Girls leave while Flo stays with Ramone in Radiator Springs. Lightning asked how Ramone knew she was the one. Ramone replied, "You just know, man. You just know." Meanwhile, Flo finished her song.
This deleted scene later became a storytellers' story titled Showstopper.
Traffic School
The Blu-ray release of the movie features an exclusive deleted scene called "Traffic School."
One morning, Lightning was sleeping in the impound when Sheriff shows up and wakes him up with his siren, telling him it was time for traffic school. On the way, Sheriff asks Lightning if he is interested in Sally to which Lightning denies, saying it would be too soon if he sees her again. Soon, they arrive at the traffic school, which Sally is teaching. She scolds Lightning for being late and Mater, the only other student, lets McQueen park next to him, much to his annoyance. The class continues, but Lightning interrupts, saying he does not need traffic school, so Sally asks him to indicate a left turn. However, Lightning does not have any indicators, so Sally asks Mater to install some on him. Lightning then tries to indicate a left turn, but he is having trouble getting his indicators to work right. Next, they go to practice parallel parking, passing the statue of Stanley on the way. Lightning tries several attempts to parallel park, but he keeps knocking down the tires, from which Guido keeps re-stacking. Finally, Lightning tries drifting into the parking space and ends up perfectly between the tires.

911 Tape released of dramatic swift water rescuePosted: Updated:
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- It was dramatic video that aired on 3TV earlier this month that earned Jerry Hood his fifteen minutes of unwanted fame.
Hood got stuck in a wash in his work truck on a rainy day in Goodyear.
On Thursday, 3TV got the 911 tape from city officials.
Hood sounds a little disoriented as he first tells the operator he's on Riggs Road but then changes his location.
Operator: "You're not on Riggs Road?"
Caller: "No. I don't know where the hell I am. But I was trying to get out of here. And everywhere I went this wash was running. So where I am I thought it wasn't that deep. But of course that's what everybody says. And so soon as I pulled in it liked washed me a little bit and stopped."
Out of desperation Hood gets on top of his work truck.
It's really the only move he can make, as he watches his truck disappear into the murky water.
Operator: "And how high is the water up?"
Caller: "It's up to the doors. It's up coming through right at where the bottom of the door is here."
Operator: "OK but it's not up to the windows?
Caller: "No the window. The top of the door. The window."
The truck is stuck in fast moving water 4-to-5 feet deep.
There's no way hood was about to swim to the closest bank, 20 feet away.
Hood is on the phone with the operator for several minutes before rescuers spotted him.
It took hours before he was back on dry land.
Hood jumped into a rescue raft and headed towards the bank unharmed.

Toms Tips About Survival After the Storm
By Tom Neale, 9/7/2006
1. When you stock up on storm supplies, make sure your boat is also stocked, if it's a boat that you can live on for awhile. This includes water and fuel.
2. If it's better to haul your boat for the storm, do it. Don't just leave it in the water with the thought that you may need it after the storm. It may not be there when you need it.
3. Inquire of your haulout facility whether they have generators or other equipment to get your boat back in the water right after the storm. They should be able to put you in soon if it's consistent with safety, although sometimes yard crews have all they can do to take care of their homes and families after a storm.
4. Don't run a generator at night while you're sleeping and have fume alarms fully working. A good marine generator is a very practical addition to a boat and a joy to have. But any generator is a machine that mixes explosive fuel (even diesel can cause a conflagration under the right circumstances) and internal combustion and electricity and exhaust. Use it carefully and follow all the instructions and warnings.
5. Invest in an inverter and deep cycle storage batteries. That way you can use many comforts such as TV and maybe a microwave while the generator is at rest.
6. If your boat's tanks don't hold much water, add some by filling jugs and storing them low in the cockpit or some other place that doesn't upset the boat's balance.
7. If you're going to haul your boat, carefully consider what the addition of weight of water, fuel etc. will do to the boat when it's on slings or a lift. Unfortunately you may not be able to add much weight. It depends on your boat and the hauling equipment and method. But if you can't add the weight, you can have it ready to add for the days after the storm.
8. Consider getting a cell phone antenna and amplifier for your boat. If a local tower is down you may be able to reach another. Previous columns here have discussed this.
9. Have a TV that can work without cable. Have a regular battery powered (unless you have an inverter which will power it) radio so that you can get local news.

This question originally appeared on Quora.
Answer by Anthony "Tony" Lawrence, Writer and Producer, Elvis
What was it like to work with Elvis Presley?
It was a unique experience. When I first came on the sound stage and met him for the first time, he was like a mannequin. He was sitting there, so still. He had such black hair and white skin and I thought, "Wow, they have a mannequin that looks just like Elvis!" He got up, shook hands with me, and said "Nice to know you, Sir." He was just as polite and nice as he could be. We talked about a lot of different things.
He was interested in karate, which I had studied with Chuck Norris many years before. He was also interested in many of the books and writings I was involved in. He told me about his reading of Gibran's The Prophet. He told me certain things I had no idea I was going to use later.
I was even involved in his choreography with Kurt Russell. I did a lot of the things that he told me in the biography. I had to write in an annotated script, which meant you had to take note of where each thing came from in the margins (almost like a bibliography). At the time, it was one of the first biographies. The legal department didn't know how much could be done without being sued so they wanted to have every part of it locked down. It was a lot of Elvis.

Storage Access Characteristics of Computational Science Applications

Computational science applications are driving a demand for increasingly powerful storage systems. While many techniques are available for capturing the I/O behavior of individual application trial runs and specific components ofthe storage system, continuous characterization of a production system remains a daunting challenge for systems with hundreds of thousands of compute cores and multiple petabytes of storage. As a result, these storage systems are often designed without a clear understanding of the diverse computational science workloads they will support. In this study, we outline a holistic methodology for scalable, systemwide I/O characterization that combines storage device instrumentation and static file system analysis with a new mechanism for capturing detailed, application-level behavior. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our methodology by performing a multilevel, two-month study of Intrepid, a 557-teraflop IBM Blue Gene/P system. During that time, we captured applicationlevel I/O characterizations from 6,481 unique jobs spanning 38 science and engineering projects with up to 163,840 processes per job. We also captured patterns of I/O activity in over 8 petabytes of block device traffic and summarized the contents of file systems containing over 191 million files. From this collection of data we are able to quantify systemwide trends such as how application behavior changes with job size, the \"burstiness\" of the storage system, and the change in file system contents over time. We also identify the top ten storage users by application domain and investigate how their I/O strategies relate to I/O performance. One of these applications is then selected as a case study in I/O tuning based on integrated I/O characterization. We then use the results of our study to highlight trends that will affect the design of future storage systems, and we identify opportunities for improvement in I/O characterization methodology.

Personalisation is the vision for the future of social care. It means moving away from traditional social care where people were fitted into a limited set of available statutory services. The emphasis is now placed on the individual's dignity and involves considering a person as an individual with aspirations, as well as needs, a circle of family, friends and other resources and support mechanisms around them.
Personalisation introduces the requirement for greater personal responsibility with choice, control and power for people to use their own resources, as well as those available through statutory and other services, to meet their needs in the best way possible.
In 2008 The Commission of Inquiry into the future services for adults in need of support and care was set up to discuss openly the question of future care for our growing elderly population and how it might be funded
The Commission sought to understand what 'personalisation' meant for individuals and the impact of implementation on all those who were involved in support and care.
Drawing on the work of the Commissioners, Hampshire County Council submitted evidence to the government consultation at the end of November 2008. The report from the Commission received national acclaim and was to inform and influence the Government's forthcoming Green Paper and legislation on the future of adult social care
The report made national recommendations and proposed local innovative solutions for the people of Hampshire. The report called for:

Whether it's a tornado, hurricane, forest fire, tsunami, or an earthquake, the feeling of helplessness in the face of something much greater; something completely out of your control, is pretty much the same. If you've never been a victim of a natural disaster and have only seen them on TV, consider yourself lucky. If you want to know how luck you should feel. Check out these terrifying GIFs.

Village People – or VP as we like to call them, mainly because it makes us think of VPL, Visible Penis Line, our new favourite website – were once credible. Well, as credible as a bunch of wannabe gays with feathers in their hair can ever be.
They was like, history, and everything portraying all the different types on the gay scene (my, how things have quietened down!).
And now very cool magazine Spin has decided to concentrate on the truly subversive side of the boys: your Auntie Jean singing about the venue where you could go and get group banged by strangers, the navy almost being suckered into using the VP's song about getting cock in the navy (song: 'In the Navy') in their recruitment drive… Oh, fun days.

Introduced by Jeanette Winterson
Posing as a biography, Orlando spans 400 years in the fantastical life of a young nobleman whose adventures take an unexpected twist when he wakes one day to find he has become a woman. Introduced by Jeanette Winterson.
Published price: US$ 62.95
This exuberant book has been described in many ways. Virginia Woolf declared it 'a writer's holiday' – a break from the seriousness and earnestness that she felt bound by in her career as a novelist. To Jeanette Winterson, who introduces the Folio edition, it is a joyful fantasy, a historical novel and a 'savage satire on sexism'. And to Nigel Nicolson, Orlando is 'the longest and most charming love letter in literature', written to his mother, Vita Sackville-West.
Posing as a biography, Orlando spans 400 years in the fantastical life of a young nobleman and favourite of Queen Elizabeth I whose adventures take an unexpected twist when he wakes from a week-long sleep to find he has become a woman. He/she lives through many ages, experiencing the Great Frost of the early 18th century, befriending Alexander Pope and living as a wife and poet in 1920s London, but never ages beyond 36 years. Woolf saw the book as an opportunity to send up her own writerly postulations: 'Had Orlando … died for a week, and then come to life again? And if so, of what nature is death, and of what nature life? Having waited well over half an hour for an answer to these questions, and none coming, let us get on with the story.' But Orlando was also a gift to Vita, with whom she had had a passionate affair. The protagonist's childhood home is Knole, the sprawling Kent mansion of the Sackville-Wests which, as a woman, Vita could never inherit. Orlando's handsome physique pays compliment to her beauty. Orlando's gender change and cross-dressing echo her romantic adventures, which included wooing female lovers in the garb of a man. In real life both women resisted the boundaries imposed by their gender; in this bold novel Woolf critiques stereotypes and conventions by pushing the boundaries of her imagination, perhaps more than in any of her other novels.
The first edition of Orlando included photographs of Sackville-West, some of them taken specifically for the book. Woolf 's chosen images are included here, signalling Orlando's dual identity and the author's unabashed presentation of the novel as a paean to Sackville-West. She also included photographs of four portraits, which are still housed at Knole and Sissinghurst. Happily we were able to reshoot three of them in colour for this edition.
