Hello to you all I am desperatley in need of some help trying to save a 1991 J reg 2.4i LWB Frontera fro the scrap heap if I can!
We were given it about 4 months ago and it had been sat for about a year but it went through the MOT with no problems suprisingly.
My stepson is a trainee HGV mechanic and he put new pads and shoes on and fixed a hole in the exhaust and for a while she ran ok for our needs.
There was some issues with the fuel pump and the son in law swapped it out with one from another vehicle and all was fine for about 2 months.
We got a new exhaust section from the cat all the way back and all was good but about 2 weeks ago started loosing power and the truck is now pretty much undriveable.
Son in law is now unable to help any more and I am no mechanic but pretty handy with guidance and have acess to tools and a lift ect at the father in laws.
It starts and ticks over fine and no EM light coes on. As soon as you pop it in gear it is really lacking in power and will get up to about 30mph on the flat.
Engine is not getting hotter than expected.
There is oil in the air intake coming from the head breather pipe and it looses a bit of oil but not much always did do. OIl is clean as a whistle.
The exhaust gets very hot and you can hear loud pops and bangs like fuel exploding in the exhaust.
The air filter is clean and newish and the maf is clean and seems to be working as it should.
y son in law thinks the piston rings have gone but there is no issue with coloured fumes.
It seems to get a bit better when warmed up a bit but limping it back home the other day about 5 iles at 30 the exhaust was alost smoking hot.
any help as to diagnosing and fixing the problem would be greatly appriciated as although old and a bit rusty the family has kind of fallen in love with the thing and we would like to keep her on the road.

It was a royal affair on Tuesday (June 12) as King Felipe VI of Spain and Queen Letizia of Spain received the President of Peru and his wife at the Zarzuela Palace in Madrid.
Queen Letizia's aesthetic is very much a classic dress, usually just above the knee, paired with her trademark drop earrings and a black or nude shoe. She knows what works and she's sticking to it. I love the simplicity of this Carolina Herrera dress and the on-trend off-the-shoulder style.
The class and elegance of this dress are perfect for the formal occasion, and I like that she's taken direction from the runway and kept her hair tucked behind her ears.
I really admire the modern silhouette and beautiful monochromatic stripe effect.
The drop earrings and barely-there sandals are great, but should she have opted for a necklace?

A guide to books, journals and websites relevant to electoral systems and change in the UK. This guide has been written to provide background information and sources for the Speakers' Corner Trust's Forum for Debate, titled 'Fair Votes or Firm Government: Do We Have to Choose?'.
Forum for Debate
The British Library is providing background information and sources for further reading about each topic featured in Speakers' Corner Trust's Forum for Debate.
The focus of each bibliography will be on recent work that is accessible to someone with a general interest in the topic. All of the references in this resource guide are to materials that are either available without charge through the internet, or that may be accessed at the Library reading rooms in London.
Speakers' Corner Trust is a registered charity which promotes free expression and public debate. The Forum for Debate series is intended to cover issues of general public interest, with invited contributions from policy workers, commentators, academics and campaigners on either side of the debate. More information can be found on the Speakers' Corner website at: http://www.speakerscornertrust.org/forum/forum-for-debate/
The topic: Fair votes or firm government: do we have to choose? – April 2010
The question of reform of the voting system has been a key theme of the UK General Election in 2010. Since 1997, voters in the UK have had experience of different voting systems through elections for the European Parliament, Scottish Parliament, Welsh Assembly, Northern Ireland Assembly etc.
Supporters of reform argue that the current system of electing representatives to the House of Commons does not produce results that closely match the proportions of votes cast for each party. They argue that this contributes to a feeling of powerlessness amongst some voters and can be a cause of declining turnout at elections. Opponents of reform point to the close link between Member of Parliament and constituency, and the tendency for proportional systems to return minority governments.
This bibliography covers recent debates on the merits of different systems, and analyses of voting in the UK. The bibliography also includes descriptions and comparisons of electoral systems across the world. Details of books, journals and reports held at the Library are included alongside resources which are available on the web.

From Canberra, Australia:
My 13 year old son was diagnosed five years ago and has never had a hypo. Do you come across this often?
It is highly unusual for a child who has had type 1 diabetes and been on insulin for five years to never have experienced hypoglycemia at some point. If by, "episode", you mean a seizure, I would not find that uncommon. However, if your son has never had a low, my gut feeling is that he has had inadequate control.
Good control is defined as a hemoglobin A1c less than 1% above the upper limit of normal for the lab running the test. So if the upper was 7%, good control would be anything less than 8%. Typically people in good control will occasionally experience a low.

CNET First Look
Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3As long as you don't want much in the way of manual features, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 is a very nice camera that can handle a variety of shooting situations.
[ Music ] >> Laurie Grunin: Hi I'm Laurie Grunin senior editor with CNET and this is the Panasonic Lumix DMC- ZS3. It looks very similar to its predecessor the TZ5 but this one has a 12 x zoom lens that goes from 25mm to 300mm in 35mm equivalent terms. That's a pretty broad range to cover but Panasonic does a pretty good job. The lens is pretty sharp and there isn't a lot of distortion. That's because Panasonic applies distortion correction in camera. Unfortunately you still see a few image artifacts because that's one thing they can't fix. But overall compared to the rest of its class it does a very good job. This is a 10 megapixel camera but unlike its brother the ZS1 it uses a 12 megapixel sensor instead of a 10 megapixel sensor; that way Panasonic can keep the same angle of view whether or not you're shooting in 16-9 aspect or 4-3 aspect. This model also shoots 720P HD video. It does a pretty good job and it saves it in AVCHD light format. Some nice things about the movie capture on this camera include the fact that Panasonic fixed the placement of the microphone. It's no longer in a place where you'll accidentally place your fingers over it and doesn't seem to suffer excessively from wind noise. The camera also has a dedicated movie capture button so you don't have to go into a specific mode and you can just capture on the fly. ZS3 also adds face recognition. Now that's different from face detection. This actually lets you set a persons face and then attach a name and a focus priority to it as well as you know like birthday and stuff like that. It has a nice big LCD. Unfortunately I found that the screen was a bit reflective so in direct sun light it's a little hard to see, especially if you're trying to view things at a slight off angle. The camera does have a special mode for extreme off angle viewing and that does really help. Overall the cameras image quality is very good and the performance is average for its class maybe a little faster. It does have a longer than average time it takes to focus in dim light. One thing you might miss is it has practically no manual controls. You can set ISO but that's about it. So if you're looking for a camera that's got flexible shooting flexibilities because it covers a wide focal range and really want something that's strictly point and shoot this one will probably do the trick. [Background music] I'm Laurie Grunin and this is the Panasonic Lumix DMC ZS3

7 Stunning photos of Sense and Sensibility's hot actor Dominic Cooper
When the new mini-series of Sense and Sensibility was released in 2008, its popularity was fired up by the scriptwriter Andrew Davies's emphasis on "youth and passion," as well as by the hot and talented actor Dominic Cooper. Let's take a look at some amazing roles played by the London-born actor who has fanned his flame on screen and awed his fans.
2. Dressed as a double for Saddam Houssein's son Uday in The Devil's Double. (I know, what a strange role!) He was nominated for Best Actor at the Saturn Award.
3. As Howard Stark in Captain America: First Avenger:
4. As a district attorney with a dark secret in Reasonable Doubt:
5. As Henry Sturges, the mentor in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. (This is not exactly modern, but don't you love his look with the shades?)
6. Playing the fascinating Ian Fleming in Fleming, about the man behind the world's most famous spy, James Bond:
7. One more for Ian Fleming because he looks so handsome in uniform:
Dominic Cooper's ability to portray complex characters has made him a formidable actor on the rise. When you see him as Willoughby in Sense and Sensibility, you can tell his future would never be the same after playing the role of an imperfect man with finesse.
Which photo is your favorite? Watch Dominic Cooper in Sense and Sensibility:

ST. LOUIS (KMOX) – Things are definitely better weather-wise now than they were last week, but highs in the 90's can still be dangerous, especially for the elderly and home-bound.
The message of Wednesday's 9th Annual Summer Cool Down was don't suffer alone — find relief at one of eight senior centers across St. Louis that have been turned into cooling stations.
"It's a good place to come to get out of that hothouse, these ovens we live in," said Mike Howard, director of Five Star Senior Center at 2832 Arsenal. "Come into a senior center…there's always activities going on."
On this day a packed house was involved in a lively game of Bingo.
"Already?" echoed out time and again, every time someone yelled "Bingo!".
While that was happening, city police officers were helping to deliver 350 meals of fresh-cooked hamburgers and hot dogs to shut-ins who are unable to make it to their nearest senior center.
Five Star officials deliver those meals on a daily basis, even though they've been forced to reduce their service by one meal per month by budget restraints.
Organizers of the Summer Cool Down, sponsored by Aramark Uniform Service and Walgreens, offered to extend their luncheon and fill in the gap for July.
Donald, Five Star's director, said the challenge is to get the word out so nobody has to suffer needlessly.
He was shocked and saddened to learn that one of the ten heat deaths recorded in the city during the recent stretch of 100 degree weather happened in the 3100 block of Nebraska — less than a block away from his center.
"It hurts that we're this close and we were open," Donald lamented. "I wish that we had known there was somebody there."
But his efforts to spread the word have been hurt by those aforementioned budget cuts, which allow him less opportunity to advertise their services to the community-at-large.

My New Favorite Fuel! Honey Stinger Waffles
Skitz Pick
I've seen these "waffles"on shelves at sporting good stores for awhile but thought they sounded horrible. When I think of waffles, I think of soft, moist and doughy. Not exactly what I'm craving when I'm pounding the pavement.
Then I visited one of my favorite adventure stores, Backwoods, to purchase a gift. And my workout life changed forever:)

International Conditions of Sale for Customers not Resident in Germany
I. Application of the International Conditions of Sale
1. These International Conditions of Sale apply to all customers of Traxon Technologies GmbH - hereinafter referred to as "Traxon†- whose relevant place of business is not in Germany. For customers whose place of business is in Germany, the General Conditions of Sale of Traxon apply, which will be forwarded on request. In each case, the relevant place of business is the one which concludes the contract in its own name.
2. These International Conditions of Sale apply to the present and all subsequent contracts whose preponderant object is the supply of goods and/or software to customers. Additional obligations assumed by Traxon do not affect the application of these International Conditions of Sale.
3. Conflicting or differing terms of business of the customer do not bind Traxon, even if Traxon does not explicitly object to them or even if Traxon unconditionally renders performance or accepts the customer's performance irrespective of the customer's conflicting or differing terms of business. The provisions of this paragraph equally apply insofar as the terms of business of the customer, irrespective of the contents of these International Conditions of Sale, deviate from statutory provisions.
4. These International Conditions of Sale do not apply, if the customer buys the goods for personal, family or household use and if Traxon knew or should have known that at the conclusion of the contract.
II. Formation of the Contract
1. The customer is under an obligation to give written notice to Traxon prior to the formation of a contract if the goods to be delivered are to be fit not only for normal use or will be used in circumstances which are unusual or which present a particular risk to health, safety or the environment, or which require a more demanding use.
2. Orders of the customer are to be put in writing. If the customer's order deviates from the proposal or the tender submitted by Traxon, the customer will emphasize the differences as such. Illustrations and drawings just like the measures and weight indications featuring in Traxon's proposals or offers are only there as guidelines.
3. All orders, in particular also those received by employees of Traxon, will take effect exclusively if followed by a written acknowledgement of the order by Traxon. The actual delivery of the goods ordered, any other conduct of Traxon or silence on the part of Traxon does not allow the customer to assume the formation of the contract. Traxon can dispatch such written acknowledgement of the order up to and including 14 calendar days after the customer's order has been received by Traxon. Until this time, the customer's order is irrevocable.
4. The written acknowledgement of the order shall be received in time, if it is received by the customer within 14 calendar days after its date of printing. The customer will inform Traxon without delay, if the written acknowledgement of the order is received with some delay.
5. The written acknowledgement of the order by Traxon sets out all the terms of the contract and brings the contract into effect even if - except for the purchase price and the quantity to be delivered - the written acknowledgement deviates from the declarations of the customer in any other way, especially with reference to the exclusive application of these International Conditions of Sale. Particular wishes of the customer, namely warranties or guarantees with reference to the goods or the performance of the contract therefore require express written confirmation in every case. Regardless of the nature and extent of the deviations, the contract will only fail to come into existence if the customer specifies the deviations and objects to them in writing and the objection is received by Traxon within a short time, at the latest seven calendar days after receipt of the written acknowledgement of the order by the customer.
6. Traxon´s employees, commercial agents or other sales intermediaries are not authorized to dispense with the requirement of a written acknowledgement of the order by Traxon or to make promises which differ from its content or guarantees. Changes to the concluded contract likewise require written confirmation by Traxon.
III. Obligations of Traxon
1. Subject to an exemption according to section VII.-1. b) Traxon must deliver the goods specified in the written acknowledgement of the order. Traxon is not obliged to perform obligations not stated in the written acknowledgment of the order or in these International Conditions of Sale, in particular Traxon is under no obligation to render planning-services, to deliver accessories not explicitly listed, to install additional safety devices, to carry out assemblies or to advise the customer. Traxon is in no case liable to perform duties associated with the putting of the goods into circulation outside Germany.
2. Traxon's obligations under the contract made with the customer are owed only to the customer. Third parties not involved in the conclusion of the contract, in particular the customer's clients, are not entitled to request delivery to be made to them or to bring any other contractual claim against Traxon. The customer's responsibility to take delivery continues to exist even if it assigns rights to third parties. The customer gives Traxon an unlimited indemnity against all claims made by third parties against Traxon out of the contract made with the customer. The indemnity includes in particular the reimbursement of expenses incurred by Traxon and is granted by the customer waiving any further conditions or other objections, in particular waiving any defence of limitation.
3. Traxon undertakes to deliver goods of average kind and quality taking account of the tolerances customary in trade concerning the kind, quantity, quality and packaging. If the goods cannot be delivered in the condition offered at the time of the formation of the contract because technical improvements to goods of series production were made, Traxon is entitled to deliver the goods with the technical improvements. Traxon is entitled to make part deliveries and to invoice them separately.
4. If further specification is required in relation to the goods to be delivered, Traxon will carry this out having regard to its own interests and to the identifiable and legitimate interests of the customer. A request to the customer to specify the goods, or to participate in the specification, is not required. Traxon does not undertake to inform the customer of the specification it has made or to give the customer the option of a differing specification.
5. Traxon undertakes to place the goods at disposal for collection by the customer at the agreed time of delivery at the place of delivery indicated in the written acknowledgement of the order or by way of precaution at its premises in Paderborn/Germany. Previous separation or marking of the goods or notification to the customer of the goods being placed at disposal is not required. Traxon is not obliged to arrange for the shipment of the goods or to insure the goods. Under no circumstances, not even when INCOTERMS are agreed Traxon is obliged to inform the customer of the delivery. The agreement of INCOTERMS in Group F, Group C or Group D or of clauses such as "delivery free......." or similar ones merely involve a variation of the provisions as to the transportation and the transportation costs; moreover, the provisions laid down in these International Conditions of Sale continue to apply.
6. Agreed delivery time periods or delivery dates are subject to the customer's procuring any required documents, releases, permits, approvals, licenses or any other authorizations or consents in sufficient time, opening letters of credit and/or making down-payments as agreed and performing all other obligations incumbent upon it properly and in good time. Moreover, agreed delivery time-periods begin on the date of the written acknowledgement of the order by Traxon. Traxon is entitled to deliver earlier than at the agreed delivery time.
7. Without prejudice to its continuing legal rights, Traxon is entitled to fulfil its obligations after the delivery time agreed upon, if it informs the customer that it will exceed the delivery time limit and of the time period for late performance. Subject to the aforesaid conditions, Traxon is entitled to make repeated attempts at late performance. The customer can object to late performance within reasonable time, if the late performance is unreasonable. An objection is only effective, if it is received by Traxon before commencing late performance. Traxon will reimburse necessary additional expenditure, proven and incurred by the customer as a result of exceeding the delivery time to the extent that Traxon is liable for this under the provisions laid down in section VII.
8. Including where INCOTERMS or clauses such as "delivery free......." or alike are agreed risks as to price and performance even in relation to goods which are not clearly identifiable to the contract and without it being necessary for Traxon to give notice, pass to the customer at the latest as soon as the loading of the goods has begun or as soon as the customer does not take delivery in accordance with the contract or title to the goods has passed to the customer. The loading of the goods is part of the customer's obligations.
9. Including where INCOTERMS or clauses such as "delivery free......." or alike are agreed, Traxon is not obliged to procure documents or certificates not expressly agreed, to obtain any licenses, authorizations or other documents necessary for the export, transit or import or to procure customs clearance. However, Traxon renders at the customer's request, risk and expense every assistance in obtaining the documents that the customer has required in writing.
10. Traxon is not obliged to bear levies, duties and charges accruing outside Germany, to comply with weight and measuring systems, packaging, labelling or marking requirements or registration or certification obligations applicable outside Germany or to take back according to legal provisions regarding waste-disposal from the customer or a third party goods delivered to the customer or packaging material. Irrespective of any statutory provisions, the customer shall at its own cost take care of or in any other way ensure renewed utilization, material recycling or otherwise prescribed waste-disposal of the goods delivered by Traxon to the customer and of the packaging material.
11. Without prejudice to its continuing legal rights, Traxon is entitled to suspend the performance of its obligations so long as, in the opinion of Traxon, there are grounds for concern that the customer will wholly or partly fail to fulfil its obligations in accordance with the contract. In particular, the right to suspend arises if the customer insufficiently performs its obligations to enable payment to Traxon or a third party or pays late or if the limit set by a credit insurer has been exceeded or will be exceeded with the forthcoming delivery. Instead of suspending performance Traxon is entitled at its own discretion to make future deliveries, even if confirmed, conditional on payment in advance or on opening of a letter of credit confirmed by one of the big German commercial banks. Traxon is not required to continue with performance of its obligations, if an assurance given by the customer to avoid the suspension does not provide adequate security or could be challenged pursuant to an applicable law.
12. Except as provided in section III.-7., Traxon is only obliged to inform the customer of possible disruption in performance, once the disruption is definitely known to Traxon.
IV. Price, Payment and Acceptance of the Goods
1. Irrespective of continuing obligations of the customer to guarantee or to enable payment, the customer undertakes to pay the agreed price in the currency specified in the written acknowledgement of the order transferring it without deduction and free of expenses and costs to the financial institution designated by Traxon. To the extent that a price has not been agreed, the contract has nevertheless been validly concluded; in such a case the price which is at the agreed time of delivery Traxon's usual price will apply. Traxon's employees, commercial agents or other sales intermediaries are not authorized to accept payments.
2. The payment to be made by the customer is in any event due for payment at the time specified in the written acknowledgement of the order, or otherwise on receipt of the invoice. The due time for payment arises without any further pre-condition and, in particular, does not depend on whether the customer has already taken delivery of the goods and/or the documents and/or has had an opportunity to examine the goods. The periods granted for payment will cease to apply and outstanding accounts will be due for immediate payment, if insolvency proceedings relating to the assets of the customer are applied for or commenced, if the customer without providing a justifiable reason does not meet fundamental obligations due towards Traxon or towards third parties, if the customer has provided inaccurate information regarding his creditworthiness or if the cover given by a credit insurer is reduced on grounds for which Traxon is not responsible.
3. The customer warrants that all legal requirements for delivery free of German value added tax will be fulfilled. To the extent that Traxon does not receive the document in proof of tax-free-export-delivery or Traxon is called upon to pay value added tax as a result of the terms of delivery or of circumstances allocable to the customer, the customer will indemnify Traxon in all and every respect without prejudice to any continuing claim by Traxon. The indemnity is granted by the customer waiving any further requirements or other defences, in particular waiving the defence of limitation or prescription and also includes the reimbursement of the expenses incurred by Traxon.
4. Regardless of the currency and of the jurisdiction of any court, Traxon is entitled at its own discretion to set off incoming payments against claims existing against the customer by virtue of its own or assigned rights at the time of payment.
5. Any statutory rights of the customer to set-off against claims of Traxon are excluded, except where the corresponding claim of the customer is in the same currency, is founded in the customer's own right and has either been finally adjudicated or is due and undisputed or acknowledged by Traxon in writing.
6. Any statutory rights of the customer to suspend payment or to raise defences or counterclaims are excluded, except where despite written warning Traxon has committed a fundamental breach of its obligations due and arising out of the same contractual relationship, and has not offered any adequate assurance.
7. The customer undertakes to take delivery of the goods at the delivery time without taking any additional period of time and at the place of delivery indicated in the written acknowledgement of the order or by way of precaution at the premises of Traxon in Paderborn/Germany. The customer is only entitled to refuse to take delivery if it exercises - in accordance with the rules in section VI.-1. - its rights to avoid the contract.
V. Delivery of non-conforming Goods or Goods with Defective Title
1. Without prejudice to any exclusion or reduction of liability of the seller provided by law, delivery does not conform with the contract if the customer proves that, taking into account the terms in section III., at the time the risk passes the packaging, quantity, quality or the description of the goods is significantly different to the specifications laid down in the written acknowledgement of the order, or in the absence of agreed specifications, the goods are not fit for the purpose which is usual in Germany. Even if the goods would have been non-conforming according to the legal requirements applicable in Germany, the goods shall be deemed to conform to the contract, to the extent that the legal requirements applicable at the place of business of the customer do not impede the usual use of the goods. Second-hand goods are delivered without any liability for their conformity.
2. To the extent that the written acknowledgement of the order does not contain an explicit statement to the contrary, Traxon is in particular not liable for the goods being fit for a purpose which is not usual in Germany or for complying with further reaching expectations of the customer or for possessing the qualities of a sample or a model or for their compliance with the legal requirements existing outside of Germany, for instance in the customer's country. Any assurance or guarantee required by the customer must always be agreed to as such in the written acknowledgement of the order, also in subsequent dealings. Traxon shall also not be liable for any non-conformity with the contract occurring after the time the risk has passed. To the extent that the customer, either himself or through third parties, initiates the removal of non-conformities without the prior consent of Traxon, Traxon will be released from its liability.
3. The customer must examine the goods at the time of delivery and moreover as required by law and in so doing check every single delivery in every respect for any discoverable or typical lack of conformity with the contract. The obligation to examine the goods also applies to each and every instalment or part-delivery.
4. Without prejudice to any exclusion or reduction of liability of the seller provided by law, the goods delivered have a deficiency in title if the customer proves that the goods are not free from enforceable rights or claims of third parties at the time risk passes. Without prejudice to further legal requirements, third parties rights or claims founded on industrial or other intellectual property constitute a deficiency in title only to the extent that the rights are registered and made public in Germany. Irrespective of the legal requirements applicable in Germany, title to the goods is not defective, to the extent that the legal requirements applicable at the place of business of the customer do not impede the usual use of the goods.
5. The customer shall give notice as required by law to Traxon of any lack of conformity with the contract or of any deficiency in title, and in any event directly and in writing. Traxon's employees, commercial agents or other sales intermediaries are not authorized to accept notices or to make any statements concerning lack of conformity with the contract or of title and its consequences.
6. Following due notice according to section V.-5., the customer can rely on the remedies provided by these International Conditions of Sale. The customer has no other rights or claims whatsoever and no claims of a non-contractual nature. The satisfaction by Traxon of the customer's remedies does not constitute any acknowledgement causing a new beginning of the limitation period. The customer's remedies for deficiency in title are subject to the same statute of limitations as are the remedies for lack of conformity. In the event of notice not having been properly given, the customer may only rely on remedies if Traxon has fraudulently concealed the lack of conformity with the contract or the deficiency in title. Statements by Traxon as to the lack of conformity with the contract or as to the deficiency in title are for the purpose of explaining the factual position only, but do not entail any waiver by Traxon of the requirement of proper notice.
7. To the extent that the customer in accordance with the terms of these International Conditions of Sale is entitled to remedies because of delivery of non-conforming goods or goods with defective title, it is entitled to demand in accordance with the terms of the UN Sales Convention delivery of substitute goods or repair or to reduce the purchase price. Further claims for performance are not available to the customer. Irrespective of the customer's remedies, Traxon is always entitled in accordance with the provision in section III.-7. to repair goods which do not conform with the contract or to supply substitute goods or to avert the customer's remedies by giving it a credit note of an appropriate amount.
VI. Avoidance of the Contract
1. The customer is only entitled to declare the contract avoided, if the respective applicable legal requirements are complied with, after it has threatened Traxon with avoidance of the contract in writing and an additional period of time of reasonable length for performance fixed in writing has expired to no avail. If the customer claims delivery of substitute goods, repair or other performance, it is bound for a reasonable period of time to the chosen remedy, without being able to exercise the right of declaring the contract avoided. In any event, the customer must give notice of avoidance of the contract within reasonable time in writing and to Traxon directly.
2.

Heroes We Need: Slott Talks Mighty Avengers
|"Mighty Avengers" 24 on sale now
As part of his Dark Reign over the Marvel Universe, Norman Osborn has successfully co-opted the legacy of the Avengers by creating his own team of "Dark Avengers" to advance his agenda and deceive the public. Osborn's key opponents have been the outlaw "New Avengers," who are fighting him tooth and nail to reclaim the Avengers mantle. And in the recently completed "Earth's Mightiest" arc by writer Dan Slott and artist Khoi Pham, which ran through "Mighty Avengers" #21-24, the battle for the Avengers' good name was joined by an additional team of heroes that came together under the leadership of the Wasp, Hank Pym, one of the founding members of the original Avengers.
In their first adventure, Pym's team put aside their differences and saved everyone on Earth, but now that they've done that, what's next? CBR News spoke with writer Dan Slott for answers to that question and more.
In their baptism of fire against the dreaded Elder God Cthon, the ranks of Pym's Mighty Avengers were quite large. But now that "Earth's Mightiest" is over, some of the initial members left and the current core cast of the team remains Hank Pym, Hercules, US Agent, the Vision, Cassie Lang, Quicksilver, and the Scarlet Witch — who is secretly the Asgardian trickster goddess Loki in disguise. The robotic Jocasta, teen genius Amadeus Cho, and veteran Avengers butler Edwin Jarvis serve as the team's support staff and occasionally accompany them on missions.
"I picked these guys because I wanted a good mix of classic Avengers and new Avengers all the way through the line up. The characters we picked represent almost every era of the Avengers legacy," Dan Slott told CBR News. "Hank and Loki appeared in the first issue [of the original series]. Herc and Quicksilver were in the first 50 issues. Jocasta made her debut in the '70s when I was reading the book. US Agent came in the '80s as part of 'Avengers: West Coast.' And then you get Cassie and Vision from the modern era. So you've got a really nice stretch of Avengers from every age of Marvel."
Slott continued, "You can read 'Avengers: The Initiative' and see how much I love characters like Triathlon, who we recently turned into the new 3-D Man, but we all know in our heart of hearts that when certain characters show up and officially become part of the Avengers they come off as characters like Triathlon, Deathcry, or Doctor Druid; characters who don't seem to rise to the challenge of what it means to be one of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. When you look at this line up these are powerhouses and guys who are hardwired into the Avengers' legacy."
|Pages from "Mighty Avengers" #24
While Jocasta and Jarvis's connection to the Avengers are clear, Amadeus Cho's ties might not be apparent at first glance. Slott sees the adolescent genius as playing a similar role to another famous Marvel teen who was present when the Avengers first assembled. "Amadeus is our ersatz Rick Jones," Slott explained. "I've been having a blast with him. He has great relationships with all the different characters. He has a fun big-brain-relationship with Hank Pym. He's got his buddy Hercules and suddenly in the form of Cassie Lang there's a cute 15-year-old blond girl nearby him. Stuff will click from that as well. So there's things pulling him in a lot of directions and that makes him a great character to play with."
While Amadeus is enjoying being part of the new Mighty Avengers, his fellow adolescent teammates Stature and the Vision, who are also Young Avengers, have one haunting question on their minds. "What are we doing here? In issue #24 they ask that a lot," Slott remarked. "And Amadeus Cho is the first one to say, 'Hey, if Wolverine can be in like eight teams, you can be in two.'"
On sale this week, "Mighty Avengers" #24 puts the spotlight on the team's most unlikely member, Quicksilver, a.k.a. Pietro Maximoff. "When Quicksilver first joined the Avengers all those years ago, he made everybody but the Scarlet Witch grind their teeth and go, 'PIETRO!' And to have that kind of a character in a group dynamic is always fun," Slott said. "The spin we're putting on him is that for a character who's normally so haughty and full of himself, now he's in a place where he needs to be on this team. He can't afford to tick people off. We get to see this side of him where he's seething with resentment but when he's with the rest of the team it's like, 'How– wonderful-to– see– you!' or 'Thank-you– Jarvis— I didn't mind waiting ten minutes for my tea.' And it's all because he really wants to get to the bottom of the mystery surrounding his sister [the Scarlet Witch]. So now he needs to be with these Avengers. That should be fun to watch.
"When people get to the end of issue #24, they're going to see that Pietro's been through a lot. In the past couple years, Quicksilver was the catalyst for 'House of M,' went through quite a bit to get his powers back, kicked off 'Silent War' by stealing the Terrigen Mists from the Inhumans, and caused all sorts of craziness in Mutant Town. This guy does not have a good track record. In #24, you're going to see his solution out of that which puts him on a redemptive arc."
Neither Quicksilver not any of the other Mighty Avengers know the Scarlet Witch is really Loki in disguise. In the "Earth's Mightiest Arc," Loki used this deception to helped assemble the team. The question is why? "Loki is a master of deception and you've got to admit if you're Loki and want to cause all this distraction and deception, what better way to do it than this?" Slott said. " Loki was the first ever foe of the Avengers so I really wanted him/her to be part of this. When I looked at Norman Osborn's Cabal members I thought, 'If one of these guys is the Avengers Cabal member, it's Loki.' So Loki was going to be the one who brought the Mighty Avengers together and the question became how best to do that and not have people see it coming."
|Pages from "Mighty Avengers" #24
In "Mighty Avengers" #24, Loki, Quicksilver, Pym and the rest of the title characters are keeping very busy. "In the time it takes most heroes to gear up for an adventure, expect to see the Mighty Avengers pull off a number of 'em! And all in twenty-two pages!" Slott said. "These guys are all about getting things done and taking their place as the preeminent super team of the world. They're not America's Mightiest Heroes. They're Earth's Mightiest Heroes and we haven't see a group of true heroic characters step up to do that in some time. We're not talking street crime or down-to-earth stories. We're talking big things. These guys are going to step up and be the heroes that we need. As far as Pym is concerned, there won't be any duplicitous reasons. His team is Earth's Mightiest Heroes-heroes you can look up to-heroes who wear their heart on their sleeves."
In "Mighty Avengers" #25, on sale May 20, Slott sets his cast up for an encounter with another of Marvel's premier super teams, the Fantastic Four. It won't be a friendly visit, though. "In one corner, you have Hank Pym's brain, and in the other you have Reed Richards's brain. That's like putting two positively charged magnets together," Slott explained. "In 'Earth's Mightiest' Iron Man said to Pym, 'I can explain why you shouldn't be leading the Avengers in three words: You're hank Pym.' But Reed Richards is going to say something a million times worse. What Reed says is on a whole different magnitude. After he says that it will be like, how could they not go to war?"
What Reed Richards says to Hank Pym is only one reason the Fantastic Four and the Mighty Avengers are at odds. The other involves a device that played a part in both Slott's recent two-part arc in "Amazing Spider-Man" #590-591 as well as a role in the debut issue of the writer's "Thing" series from 2005. "There's already been a page released from 'Mighty' #25 on editor Tom Brevoort's blog at Marvel.com. In that page you see a scene set before Civil War, when Hank Pym and Bill Foster were working on a device called the Dimensional Wave Inducer, which was the device that helped the FF's Infini-bus go to the Macroverse this month in Spider-Man," Slott explained. "We've also seen that invention in 'Thing' #1, when a supervillain tried to steal it from Bill Foster. So it's a very important gizmo."
It won't be just devices and concepts from Slott's early work that pop up in "Mighty Avengers." Some characters the writer created will appear as well. "For 'Amazing Fantasy' #15 Vol. 2, Greg Pak created Amadeus Cho and I created a two-character team called Black Jack. You can expect them to show up and have the same sort of presence that Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. used to have in the Avengers titles," Slott revealed. "Why Black Jack? Because this is all part of Greg Pak's and my secret desire to make 'Amazing Fantasy' #15 Vol. 2 go up in value. Not as valuable as the original 'Amazing Fantasy' #15 — but pretty close."
|Pages from "Mighty Avengers" #24
When the Mighty Avengers aren't saving the world they'll participate in the same sort of soap opera style interpersonal relationships that have been the hallmark of many classic Avengers stories. "How do these characters all relate to one another?" asked Slott, "Are they going to be friends? Or just team mates? You're going to see where they're going and what they need as people. It's not enough that they go on adventures. We have to care about them too."
For "Earth's Mightiest," Slott collaborated with artist Khoi Pham. Issue #24 features pencils by former 'Incredible Hercules' artist Rafa Sandoval, and the two-part Mighty Avengers-FF storyline that runs through issues #25-26 features art from another guest penciller, Stephen Segoiva, whose work was featured in the recent 'Wolverine: Manifest Destiny' miniseries.
"I think Khoi did a wonderful job on the first three issues and the story he's working on now looks beautiful," Slott stated. "Then you look at issue #24, Rafa's issue, and it's gorgeous. And Stephen's Wolverine work was fantastic so we're happy to have him do the two issues with the big FF throwdown."
Dan Slott is thoroughly enjoying his time on such a high profile book like "Mighty Avengers." Not only does it give him the chance to play with a compelling characters, it also affords him the opportunity to shine the light on several Marvel titles that many readers may not be familiar with. "There are the mainstream Marvel books like 'New Avengers' and 'Captain America' and there's all these books that have a cult status but are so brilliant that they deserve way more readers and a lot more love, like Fred Van Lente and Greg Pak's 'Incredible Hercules,' Duane Swierczynski's 'Iron Fist,' Rick Remender's 'Punisher,' Paul Cornell's 'Captain Britain and MI13' and all the cosmic books by Abnett and Lanning," Slott said. "A lot of what we're hoping to do in 'Mighty Avengers' is be the thread that ties them into the Avengers universe titles. I'd love to have Rick's Marvel U take on the Punisher show up, or set up an Avengers/Guardians team-up.
"We had brief cameos of Captain Britain and MI13 in our last two issues. And at the start of the current issue, there's tip of the hat to Punisher. We're going to try and showcase things like the cosmic books and maybe pop over to England for an issue. So we're going to try really hard to showcase some of the Marvel Universe that might get sidelined for bigger, splashier things. We want to show off some books that really deserve your love."

With more than 50,000 clients, Vision Australia is a not-for-profit provider of blindness and low vision services in Australia.
Websilk is a Sitefinity Platinum Partner specializing in the creation of user centric websites and web applications designed to achieve the highest level of user engagement.
Vision Australia had a website that was not engaging site visitors effectively and a new site needed to be customized to strict accessibility requirements. It also needed an ecommerce component. Web firm Websilk rose to the challenge with the help of Sitefinity CMS by Telerik.
With Sitefinity CMS by Telerik, Websilk created a customized website that met the accessibility requirements for WCAG 2.0 AA guidelines. It also built an effective ecommerce engine to support retail and online donations, in time for the organization's largest annual fundraiser.
• Compliant with WCAG 2.0 Level AA
• New ecommerce engine that is integrated with POS and inventory system
• Cleaner, less text-heavy site
As the leading national provider of blindness and low vision services in Australia, Vision Australia needed a web presence that was highly accessible to best support its customers and its mission to create a community partnership of knowledge, skills and expertise; to enrich the participation in life of people who are blind or have low vision and their families.
Vision Australia is one of the largest not-for-profit organizations in Australia. They were looking to partner with a technically driven agency that could help demonstrate best practice design for people who are blind or have low vision. Vision Australia is recognised as the industry leader for accessibility and its new website needed to reflect this.
Vision Australia also wanted to implement a new Content Management System (CMS) that would help overcome frustrations relating to permissions-based content editing, integration between multiple systems, and a new ecommerce and donations platform.
Vision Australia and Websilk set out to deliver a highly engaging and professional design, leaving no stone unturned in their quest to break down barriers in web accessibility.
Websilk selected Sitefinity as the CMS to be used on this project due to its core accessibility compliance
and extensibility for developers that enables them to create custom controls that seamlessly integrate with the CMS.
The enormity of the project was clear to all from the very beginning. But the combination of Sitefinity,
Websilk's product knowledge and expertise and Vision Australia's accessibility knowledge formed
a powerful alliance capable of achieving these ambitious goals.
Moreover, Vision Australia was responsible for three websites: the main corporate site, a website for
seeing eye dogs, and its own radio station. Each required a different look and feel while still achieving
extremely high levels of accessibility.
The accessibility challenge would require strict adherence to WCAG 2.0 AA guidelines, which covers a
wide range of recommendations for making web content more accessible for people with disabilities, including blindness and low vision, deafness and hearing loss, learning disabilities, cognitive limitations, limited movement, speech disabilities, photosensitivity and combinations of these. Previously this meant drab and boring designs, and Vision Australia's Digital Access team wanted to demonstrate that engaging and beautiful design creativity could coexist with accessibility compliance.
Finally, the site needed an ecommerce component to handle retail transactions for the purchase of products and services (which included integrating with Vision Australia's current POS and inventory systems) as well as donor contributions, a major component of the site.
Websilk is a technically driven web agency that thrives in mission critical and high-stakes online projects.
They have worked on some of the most complex technical projects in Australia, and because of their capabilities, was the clear choice for Vision Australia on this project.
When determining the right approach for the Vision Australia website, the Websilk team immediately engaged Sitefinity CMS by Telerik. "As Sitefinity Platinum Partners we have been working with the team at Sitefinity for some time. We have a deep understanding of the technology and were confident it could handle the customizations as well as have the flexibility for a large scale project," says Robert Pascale, Technical Services Director, Websilk.
The project kicked off in February 2012 and the Websilk team embarked on a journey that would lead to the development of an incredible 200+ custom Sitefinity controls. Throughout this time Sitefinity developed an intimate working relationship with Websilk, which enabled them to provide the skillset and tools to get through
the compliance hurdles in a timely manner. "Over time we've built and perfected processes based on our knowledge of Sitefinity. Now, having gone through the compliance process, our skillset is more robust and we are able to help other organizations meet the requirements for WCAG 2.0 AA. This project has opened up a lot of opportunity for us, and we could not have achieved this without the support we have received from Sitefinity," says Robert.
Through Sitefinity, Websilk was able to segment each page of the site (and sections within each page) with the appropriate permissions for content editing. "We needed to ensure some areas of the site were in total lock-down because accessibility could easily be broken with even the most basic editing. I don't think any other CMS vendor offers the breadth and depth of segmentation that Sitefinity was able to provide and that was essential to our success," says Robert.
In addition, Websilk implemented a more effective ecommerce engine to support online retail and donations. Websilk leveraged Sitefinity's ecommerce platform in conjunction with developing a custom-built payment gateway. The donations journey was also completely redesigned to guide donors through an interactive donation experience. It too is integrated into the ecommerce engine, making purchasing a
completely integrated process. As part of the project Websilk also created a mechanism for more effective order fulfilment.
The new Vision Australia site went live in November 2012 and feedback has been enormously positive.
Vision Australia's 50,000+ customers now enjoy a revolutionary online platform to interact with Vision
Australia's services.
Sitefinity's content editing tools have enabled more than 50 content contributors at Vision Australia to
harmoniously and effectively work together to maintain the site. The new Sitefinity ecommerce platform
has been a huge success, as its integration has all but eliminated manual data entry and reconciliation
errors. It has also been the powerful backbone for the new shopping cart and product search engines which
has resulted in increased sales and customer satisfaction.
In fact, with the launch of the new site all but complete, Websilk took the opportunity to build a special section of the site for Vision Australia's annual "Carols by Candlelight" event. Carols by Candlelight is one of Vision Australia's biggest fundraising events as it is a national TV broadcast highlighting some of the country's biggest stars singing holiday favorites. Donations previously have been primarily phoned in. However, with the launch of the new site, Vision Australia was able to promote online donations and this year, and reported triple
the amount of online contributions than in years prior.
"The Carols by Candlelight project was not even part of the original plan, but we knew that we could get
it done. We built the section of the site within a few weeks and gave Vision Australia an opportunity to drive online donations that was not possible with the previous system," says Robert.
Websilk also delivered the entire platform on a full responsive design. Again Sitefinity delivered on their needs enabling powerful yet simple tools for this implementation. Websilk's responsive design ambitions were
easily accommodated with Sitefinity.
"We are very pleased with the resulting website and our partnership with Sitefinity. In addition to providing an excellent technology, the team offered us unparalleled levels of support to ensure our project was a success," says Robert.
"Websilk and Sitefinity have exceeded all expectations we had of them. Vision Australia has achieved
all of our website project goals and highly value our partnership and future relationship with Websilk and
Sitefinity", said Aimee Sanderson, E-communications Manager, Vision Australia.

"Let us run with patience the particular racethat God has set before us. Keep your eyes on Jesus, our leader and instructor ..."--Hebrews 12:1-2 (TLB)
Did you know that you are in a race? We are all in a race that was started over two thousand years ago by Jesus Christ, our leader and instructor. No one can make you run this race; it's a calling that's entirely up to you.
What is this race? It's the call to prepare the way of the Lord
Just as John the Baptist was called to prepare the way for the Lord's first coming, we are called to prepare the way for the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Last year Apple stripped iOS bare in order to redefine how we do things. This year they build atop everything that came before in order to redefine what we can do.
iOS 8 is the latest version of the operating system software that powers every iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. That's hundreds of millions of mobile devices used day in, day out, by hundreds of millions of people around the world.
It includes updates to Messages and Photos, an all-new Health app, a predictive keyboard and contextual Spotlight, improved Mail and Safari, Family Sharing options and Continuity workflows, and there's Extensibility, which allows for interactive notifications, custom keyboards, custom sharing and action options, custom photo filters and effects, widgets, iCloud Drive, and custom storage providers.
There are also new frameworks like HomeKit for home automation, manual camera controls, Touch ID authentication for third party apps, SpriteKit, SceneKit, and Metal for games, and a new programming language called Swift.
Yang to iOS 7's yin, iOS 8 is a functional rejuvenation that counterbalances last year's visual refresh. And just like last year, when iOS 7 was called the biggest redesign since the first iPhone shipped in 2007, iOS 8 is being called the most important upgrade since the App Store launched in 2008. So, is it?
