Claudia Schiffer attended the world premiere of 'Kingsman: The Secret Service' held at Odeon Leicester Square on Wednesday (January 14) in London, England.
The model wore an Antonio Berardi mint-green and black long-sleeve sheath dress with silver panelling detailing from the Fall 2014 collection.
This is the model's second look from said collection. Perhaps she's attracted to the micro-short lengths or she loves to work an edgier angle on the red carpet.
While the tights are very much understandable, I would've loved to see more interesting footwear. A shoe boot with a high heel comes to mind.
The kitten heels don't quite work with this directional piece.

James Franco's studies have cost him a Broadway debut opposite Nicole Kidman.
The workaholic actor, who is currently studying at Yale University, has been forced to drop out of Tennessee Williams' play Sweet Bird of Youth.
Kidman is still on board for the play about an ageing actress and the gigolo paramour who uses her as he tries to help her get back into the movies.

NORWICH In late 2010, Guernsey Memorial Library was awarded a We the People Bookshelf grant by the National Endowment for the Humanities, in cooperation with the American Library Association.
The library was one of 4,000 nationwide selected for the grant, which provided free hardcover editions of 17 classic books based on a Civil War theme of A More Perfect Union.
According to Guernsey Memorial Childrens Librarian Kim Hazen, the books tie-in nicely with the 150 year anniversary of the Civil War in 2011. Its an opportunity for a younger generation to experience a war that still resonates throughout America today, she added.
Children and teens that successfully read two books from the We the People collection through the end of May and in their age category will receive a prize and certificate, stated Hazen. Reading lists and logs can be found in the childrens area of the library and those who participate should return their logs to Hazen or the circulation desk to claim their prize and certificate, she added.

Have you ever had respect for a leader whose words did not match her actions? Have you ever had respect for a leader who preached personal values and then behaved differently?
The fundamental component of leadership is People-first™ Factor #1 Lead by Example. This is the core of leadership. This is the component that will either establish or kill your credibility. And if you aren't credible, you will never gain commitment and trust from your team members.

The thing about leadership is that its impact is often overlooked. In many organizations it's written off as "fluffy" or "soft." And, it's even less valued in companies where there is a heavy emphasis on engineering and technology. Boulder Denver
The problem with this perspective is that there is a real cost to organizations. The unaware leader who has no idea on how his or her style impacts team members is hurting employee productivity, engagement, and retention more than any other factor.
Inscape Publishing just launched the Everything DiSC 363 for Leaders, and my clients love it.
They love it for three reasons.
(1) It combines the best of a 360 degree assessment and the power of DiSC.
(2) It does away with the often useless, open-ended responses raters can give, and instead gives raters a set of choices to select for open-ended questions - making the feedback behavioral based and more valuable for the leader.
I have written quite a bit in the past about the importance of providing feedback to team members. In fact, in a recent blog post, I termed feedback as "the glue that holds alignment together."But what happens when feedback just doesn't work?
When performance isn't meeting expectations, and a team member has been provided with consistent and transparent feedback, the next step in trying to help a team member make behavioral change is constructive discipline.
In Parts 1 and 2, I focused on how new managers can begin to make the transition from being a team member to being in charge.
Recession depression is definitely impacting your people.
What is recession depression?
It is fatigue. It is low morale due to the way that people have been treated over the past year. It is the "doing more with less" that seems endless after a year or more of having to do more with less.
Making the transition from peer to manager can be challenging. Change of status and responsibility when you transition into a leadership role can affect both personal and work relationships. I first encountered this type of challenge and opportunity as a young army officer. One day I was playing golf with my buddy, and the next day he was reporting to me as my Operations Officer.
As I work with organizations and teams around the country, I see two sets of common symptoms that may indicate a new manager is struggling.
One of my best clients introduced me to a book last year by Brian Tracy called Eat That Frog. It has some great ideas to stop procrastinating and get more done in less time. And, now it's out in its second edition.

Trading in the Chinese market is likely to remain cautious ahead of key May industrial production data due for release on Saturday.
The benchmark Shanghai Composite slipped 0.10 percent to 2309.56 on Wednesday, while turnover shrank.
Market Factors:
The Taxation Administration outlined details of 33 preferential tax policies related to private investment in six areas: infrastructure; utilities and public housing; social services; financial services; commerce and logistics; innovations. The move is an extension of Beijing's drive to spur private investment and achieve economic rebalancing, but skeptics have questioned the efficacy of such a push in light of the state's dominant role in the economy.
Stocks to Watch:
Banking Stocks - The Chinese cabinet approved plans to start the Basel III capital requirements for banks on Jan. 1, 2013. The requirements were originally slated for commencement in July. Systemically important banks are required to have capital adequacy ratios of 11.5 percent, other banks need to have 10.5 percent. Analysts do not expect the new rules to lead to a wave of fundraising activity by banks. Chinese commercial banks' average capital adequacy ratio at the end of the first quarter stood at 12.7 percent.
Poly Real Estate - Poly, one of China's top 10 developers, said May sales rose 45 percent to 10.7 billion yuan ($1.7 billion). Property sales rebounded in China last month due to increased supply, price discounts, and some local governments' fine-tuning of Beijing's property curbs.
Xiamen Tungsten - The firm's shares will resume trading on Thursday after clarifying that it was a sister firm that had discovered the world's largest tungsten mine worth $47 billion, contrary to earlier reports. Tungsten related plays rallied on Wednesday on news of the find. Xiamen Tungsten contributes around a third of China's tungsten exports.
Faw Car, Faw Xiali - Faw VW, the joint venture between China's First Automotive Works Group (parent of the listed automakers) and Volkswagen, confirmed that its deputy sales chief Jing Guosong is being investigated after one of his subordinates jumped to his death last week.

To date, there have been precious few decisions dealing, even peripherally, with how to quantify damages under section 6 of the Arthur Wishart Act (Franchise Disclosure), 2000 (the "Act") where a franchisee has successfully sought rescission of its franchise agreement. A recent decision of the Ontario Court of Appeal, Trade Secrets International Ltd. v. Jalaly, provides guidance with regards to the scope of section 6(6)(d) of the Act, and more specifically, the extent of compensation a franchisee may obtain from a franchisor upon rescission.
Under this subsection, the Act provides that within 60 days from the rescission of a franchise agreement, the franchisor must compensate the franchisee for any losses that were incurred in "acquiring, setting up and operating the franchise."
The scope of this provision is broad and does not specifically identify the types of losses that would entitle a franchisee to compensation. In this case, the Court looked at whether losses under the Act include monies that are paid to a lender for the purpose of paying off a prior franchisee's indebtedness. This decision suggests that such monies are compensable under the Act, as they are undoubtedly incurred as a result of "acquiring, setting up and operating a franchise."
Franchisors and their advisors must be mindful of any payments made by a franchisee to acquire the assets and the goodwill of a franchise, as such costs incurred fall squarely within the scope of losses requiring compensation under the Act.

Celanese Corp. NYSE: CE), a global technology and specialty materials company, announces The Celanese Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, has made its first donations totaling $573,000 to Dallas area charitable and community organizations. In addition to these donations, the foundation announces the completion of multiple community volunteer events in 2013, including the Celanese International Impact Program to Brazil, and the Celanese Global Impact Week at 29 Celanese sites worldwide.
Established in 2013, The Celanese Foundation focuses on initiatives to improve the fundamental living conditions of people, with an emphasis on families and children. Organizations that receive funding must align to The Celanese Foundation's focus areas which include hunger relief, shelter, fundamental education, health and water.
Celanese Foundation's first Dallas-area donations
The foundation is led by employees with investments going directly to the charities Celanese employees believe in and support. The foundation's first-year donations have been distributed to the following Dallas area community and charitable organizations:
- Big Brothers Big Sisters Lone Star
- Irving Cares
- Children's Advocacy Center for Denton County
- Denton County Friends of the Family
- LIFT (Literacy Instruction for Texas)
- Hope's Door
- Hope Cottage Pregnancy and Adoption Center
- The Turning Point
- Alzheimer's Association, Greater Dallas Chapter
- American Red Cross - Dallas Area Chapter
- Uplift Education
- Christian Community Action
- Mi Escuelita Preschool
- Vogel Alcove
- Resource Center of Dallas
- Metrocrest Social Services
- AVANCE –Dallas
- KIPP Dallas-Fort Worth
- Nexus Recovery Center
- The Family Place
Upon receiving their donation, Daniel Leal, executive director at the Children's Advocacy Center for Denton County, said: "These kinds of unexpected gifts just don't happen every day. We are extremely excited and are so grateful to The Celanese Foundation and to their amazing, kind-hearted employees."
Mark Rohr, Celanese chairman and CEO, stated: "I am very proud of the spirit and service our employees demonstrate to the communities where we live and work. It is my hope that The Celanese Foundation is a positive force and honorably reflects our employees' passion and purpose."
Celanese International Impact Program goes to Brazil
In September of 2013, Celanese sent 10 employees to Uberlândia, Brazil, in support of the Celanese International Impact Program (CIIP). Hailing from China, Singapore, Germany, the Netherlands, Budapest and the United States, these 10 individuals volunteered their skills for three organizations as part of the CIIP. The Celanese Foundation worked with PYXERA Global as its operational partner for this year's international volunteer program.
Celanese released a video recently of its International Impact Program efforts in Brazil, which can be viewed and shared here. The video features the increasing social impact of skills-based volunteer programs in which professionals donate their skills for organizations in need.
"Celanese employees have a great spirit of volunteerism and community support," said Gretchen Rosswurm, vice president of global communications and corporate social responsibility. "Through these partnerships in our global communities, our employees guide our decision-making processes and are involved in all aspects of our community support. We're definitely making a difference in our global communities and having a great time in the process."
Celanese Global Impact Week completes third year
The 2013 campaign of the Celanese Global Impact Week encouraged employees to work on service projects they identified within their own communities, all in the same week of October. Projects spanned a range of activities according to local need, from painting at a local school to food drives. Participation in 2013, the third year of the program, was double that of the first year's campaign, with 29 of Celanese's 35 sites taking part totaling 86 projects with 2,200 employee volunteers.
"Global events such as the annual Celanese Foundation fundraising campaign, Global Impact Week, and the Celanese International Impact Program—combined with efforts in support of Habitat for Humanity and the Salvation Army, just to name a few—are embraced by employees in support of our community and those in need," said Dana Smith, manager of The Celanese Foundation. "In 2013 alone, we estimate Celanese employees, suppliers and the corporation provided approximately $1.6 million in charitable aid and more than 13,000 hours in community support around the world. This effort is improving the world and providing growth opportunities for our employees."

Medical malpractice lawyers are not a dime a dozen; in fact, they are harder to find than what one would think. Because medical malpractice lawsuits can be very delicate, the placement of the right medical malpractice lawyers to fit your need is a must. This aspect makes obtaining medical malpractice lawyers that much more hard. You need to find the best lawyer to ensure that you are fully and properly represented in the best light throughout the whole ordeal.
The Right Steps
Locating medical malpractice lawyer may be easy if you will follow this guide.
1. Contingent Fees
Contingent fees are those where, if you win the lawsuit, the lawyer takes on their fees and all applicable legal fees from the money earned. If you do not win your business, the lawyer will not be charged. This is the ideal cost, if at all possible. Thus, when you begin contacting medical malpractice lawyers, you will even ask them about contingent first. In any case, medical malpractice lawsuits may take longer and if you pay your legal fees in advance and go, it will be very expensive. Make sure your payment options and prizes are discussed before continuing on. Otherwise, you just might get a surprise when it is all over.
2. Talk It Through
When you consult all medical lawyers that you have contacted, make sure your case is completely and sufficiently explain. Answer and all the questions they have for you. At the end, listen to their advice on the topic at hand. They can advise you to settle out of the courts or even further to pursue the case. Do not think you know more about the problem than what they are doing. Not many lawyers who are specialized in this field; so, medical malpractice lawyers are generally at the top of their game.
3. Make sure of the specialization
Make sure the lawyers that you are talking to have a specialty in the medical field have a specialty in the medical field. This kind of case does not apply for every lawyer. You want to make sure you have a lawyer on your side that is completely capable of handling your case. Not all lawyers have the similar experience. You want an attorney who is comfortable with the pursuing of the case if so chosen.
You must narrow your list of lawyers down to three of four, and then make appointments with each one to talk face-to-face. You get a real sense of whether you are comfortable working with this individual exercise. Medical malpractice lawyers are a special breed of advocates and some of them may be almost arrogant, but most know what they are doing and because they are generally only taking cases on a percentage basis, which means they will not be paid if you do, or They agree to take your case, you can be honestly confident that they will do a good job for you.
Finally, make sure that no matter which medical malpractice lawyer that you decide to go with, you work fully with them. You need to trust them and leave it to them. You cannot fight against them. You need to work with them and leave everything up to them.

GM's Prez Begs Customers To Plead On GM's Behalf
Consumerist reader Darkrose writes, "I just got this in my e-mail. Thought you guys might be interested in it." In the email, GM's president Troy Clarke is in high PR mode, pointing out the grave consequences and emphasizing that GM wants not "a bailout but rather a loan that will be repaid." We thought other readers who aren't GM customers would find it interesting.
Tonight, the president of Ford Motors will be on Campbell Brown's "No Bias, No Bull" program on CNN at 8pm ET/5pm PT, presumably to hit similar talking points. Dance, auto monkey! Dance for the TV audience!
Dear [redacted],
You made the right choice when you put your confidence in General Motors, and we appreciate your past support. I want to assure you that we are making our best vehicles ever, and we have exciting plans for the future. But we need your help now. Simply put, we need you to join us to let Congress know that a bridge loan to help U.S. automakers also helps strengthen the U.S. economy and preserve millions of American jobs.
Despite what you may be hearing, we are not asking Congress for a bailout but rather a loan that will be repaid.
The U.S. economy is at a crossroads due to the worldwide credit crisis, and all Americans are feeling the effects of the worst economic downturn in 75 years. Despite our successful efforts to restructure, reduce costs and enhance liquidity, U.S. auto sales rely on access to credit, which is all but frozen through traditional channels.
The consequences of the domestic auto industry collapsing would far exceed the $25 billion loan needed to bridge the current crisis. According to a recent study by the Center for Automotive Research:
• One in 10 American jobs depends on U.S. automakers
• Nearly 3 million jobs are at immediate risk
• U.S. personal income could be reduced by $150 billion
• The tax revenue lost over 3 years would be more than $156 billion
Discussions are now underway in Washington, D.C., concerning loans to support U.S. carmakers. I am asking for your support in this vital effort by contacting your state representatives.
Please take a few minutes to go to http://www.gmfactsandfiction.com, where we have made it easy for you to contact your U.S. senators and representatives. Just click on the "I'm a Concerned American" link under the "Mobilize Now" section, and enter your name and ZIP code to send a personalized e-mail stating your support for the U.S. automotive industry.
Let me assure you that General Motors has made dramatic improvements over the last 10 years. In fact, we are leading the industry with award-winning vehicles like the Chevrolet Malibu, Cadillac CTS, Buick Enclave, Pontiac G8, GMC Acadia, Chevy Tahoe Hybrid, Saturn AURA and more. We offer 18 models with an EPA estimated 30 MPG highway or better — more than Toyota or Honda. GM has 6 hybrids in market and 3 more by mid-2009. GM has closed the quality gap with the imports, and today we are putting our best quality vehicles on the road.
Please share this information with friends and family using the link on the site.
Thank you for helping keep our economy viable.
Troy Clarke

I'm trying to wrap my head around the idea on how to scrub audio using fmod. You know, grab the sound and be able to audition it with your mouse.
I'm think of taking the mouse position and then depending on where it is on the screen play the audio backwards, or forwards. The farther away from the center, the faster the audio plays. What would be the correct procedure to do this, as far as fmod is concerned?
- jayDC asked 11 years ago
iirc you can use setpitch with software samples, with a negative pitch to go backwards.
- a1psx answered 11 years ago
does this method work with the sample rate too? I would like to emulate the sound of a tape machine, so I would want the pitch to change as well.
- jayDC answered 11 years ago
I think he meant setFrequency, with FMOD_SOFTWARE you can play sounds backwards (just remember to position the play position at the end first!)

Aromatherapy is the practice of applying essential oils for therapeutic benefit. Essential oils, such as oil of lavender, are the volatile essences distilled from the steam produced by boiling specific parts of the plant.
Oil of Lavender
Oil of lavender is produced by distilling the flower spikes of the herb Lavandula latifolia. Lavender oil has a delicate fragrance, and it is used in aromatherapy for its anti-depressive, calming effect. Oil of lavender is also used as an insecticide, fungicide and germicide.
Oil of lavender is directly applied to a dog's fur or skin. It can be diluted in water and used as an air freshener or laundry rinse. It can also be added to dog shampoo or coat conditioner.
Calming Effects
Rub oil of lavender on the foot pads of a dog to ease anxieties, excitability and hyperactivity. A few drops of oil of lavender can also be sprinkled on a dog's bedding or in its crate for these benefits.
Antibiotic Effects
Lavender oil has a natural antibiotic effect, and can be used, when diluted six drops per one gallon of water, to wash a dog's cuts or wounds. A benefit of using lavender oil is that dogs will not be harmed by licking any area washed with lavender oil.
Expert Insight
A study conducted by the United Graduate School of Veterinary Science, Yamaguchi University, Japan, showed that oil of lavender has a positive effect on the heart rate of dogs. The study also suggested that further studies be undertaken.

I want to go everywhere and I like to eat, so it only stands to reason that I am fascinated by cuisine du monde. A good way of getting there without traveling is by visiting a restaurant that features food from whatever locale piques your interest. Thankfully I live in Chicago where its rich restaurant tradition makes it the perfect place to experiment with just about anything. If you can eat it, you'll probably find it here. I try new places often and I keep a running list in my head of all the new restos I want to try. It's hard too because there's a handful or more of new places opening every damned week! And I love it.
But if you're adventurous like I am, you can try to recreate an international dish at home. You'll not only gain the experience, but you'll be able to personalize the dish to your liking which is what all home cooks do the world over.
As the Queen of Impulse Buyers, my pantry is more likely to be stocked with smoked paprika and garam masala than ketchup or milk. Whipping up an impromptu international meal is no biggie for me. If you have more self control than I do, you'll probably need to run to your nearest market to pick up a few things because today we will journey to Morocco!
Morocco is at the top of my places to visit, so naturally I had some of the ingredients to create my take on a Moroccan Harissa recipe. Harissa is Tunisian in origin, but is now a part of Moroccan cuisine. This condiment combines some of my favorite things – peppers, mo' peppers, cumin and garlic.
This was my first foray into Moroccan cooking so I decided to go with a store-bought version, Mina Harissa. I found it at Mecca aka Whole Foods. Here we go…
- Three boneless, skinless and organic chicken thighs
- Fage yogurt. About a half cup (I use 2%)
- Salt (To taste. I used smoked salt. It gives e'rythang such a lovely flavor.)
- Black Pepper (to taste)
- Garlic powder, 1 tsp.
- Onion powder, 1 tsp.
- Cayenne pepper, 1 tsp. ( I brings the heat.)
- A couple tablespoons of Mina Harissa (Spicy, of course.)
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees, season the chicken with the salt, pepper, cayenne, garlic powder and onion powder. Place the yogurt, Harissa and seasoned chicken in a large Ziploc bag. Make sure the chicken thighs are completely covered by yogurt. Remove the air from the bag as much as possible. Seal the bag and place it in the fridge for at least 15 minutes. I left mine in for around an hour and a half.
Mo' Ingredients
- Cumin, 1 tsp.
- One 16 oz. can of organic chickpeas (Next time I will use two cans. Not enough peas for me. You be the judge.)
- Five garlic cloves (I obviously have a thing with garlic.)
- One lemon
- Two large shallots
- Olive oil, 1tbsp
- Coconut oil, 1 tbsp
- One tomato
- A half cup of the Mina Harissa
While the chicken is marinating, thinly slice the garlic and coarsely chop the shallots. Seed the tomato and then throw it in your Vitamix or food processor until it's a slightly chunky puree. Cut lemon into wedges. Set it all aside.
In a large, dry frying pan (I prefer cast iron) on medium heat, sprinkle in the cumin and sauté for two or three minutes to release the flavor. Add coconut and olive oils. While the coconut oil is melting, remove the chicken thighs from the fridge, brown on both sides and then remove from the pan.
Sauté the garlic slices in the same pan. Cook for three minutes and then add shallots. When the shallots begin to soften, add the tomato, Harissa, chickpeas and chicken broth. Add a little more salt and pepper to taste and then nestle the chicken into the pan. Cook on top of the stove for three to five minutes, squeeze half of the lemon over the top and then pop the entire skillet into the oven for 20 – 25 minutes.
Voila! First class ticket to Morocco! This dish was absodelish. Try it yourself and let me know what you think.

Home > About Us > Our History
Virtually everyone has been touched by cancer in some way. Mary Kay's personal encounter came in 1980 when her husband, Mel Ash, died of lung cancer. Subsequently, each time a member of the extended Mary Kay family was diagnosed with cancer, she became even more determined to work to find a cure.
In 1987, Mary Kay decided to put her money where her heart was and asked employees at Mary Kay Inc. and the independent sales force to do the same. Together they began raising funds for cancer research, and in 1996, the Mary Kay Ash Charitable Foundation was established to formalize the raising and distributing of research funds for cancers affecting women. In 2009, the name of the Foundation was changed to The Mary Kay Foundation.
Domestic Violence Added to Our Mission.
Mary Kay cared about all issues affecting women. Her mission was to enrich women's lives around the world. So when the first domestic violence shelter was being established in Dallas, the founders naturally came to her for potential funding, volunteers and product donations.
Mary Kay responded with support. She knew domestic violence was a problem in the community. In time, she began to hear how prevalently this issue affected the Mary Kay Inc. independent sales force across the nation. So in July 2000, the Foundation embraced a second mission: to prevent violence against women.
See the Foundation's milestones since it began.

Three types of people who harm the religion according to the Prophet of Islam (PBUH)
SHAFAQNA – Imam Ali (AS) narrated from the Prophet of Islam (PBUH) who said: Be fearful of three types people about your religion: The self-loving (narcissist) Quran reciter who when gets to a social position, will draw sword to his neighbour, and will accuse him of polytheism (Shirk). And a man/woman who becomes a pawn/puppet of the daily events, and the sayings and quotations deviate him/her from the right path. For example whenever a false myth comes up and ends, he/she will talk about something similar but in a longer version; if such a person sees Dajjal, will follow him. And a man/woman who has been given a power by God, and he/she thinks that others obedience of him/her is the obedience God, and disobeying him/her is the disobedience of God; but such a person is a liar; There is no obedience for someone who commits sins against God; and the person who commits sins against God cannot be obeyed [1].

TORONTO (Reuters) - Canada's big auto parts suppliers are on the road to recovery as pent-up demand powers growing sales of new vehicles in North America, a trend expected to gather speed gradually through the remainder of the decade.
Still, challenges linger for the companies that make everything from car seats to chassis, and analysts say they must look beyond rebounding domestic markets if they are to continue to grow.
"What's really going to be key is how they are positioned in the emerging markets, because that's where the growth is going to come from," Scotiabank economist Carlos Gomes said.
Setting strategy to tap new markets is a turnaround from the grim conditions of 2009, when an auto industry on the verge of collapse was salvaged by multibillion-dollar bailouts by Canadian and U.S. taxpayers.
Back then, General Motors Co and Chrysler looked like they were headed for the scrap heap, with the potential to take suppliers with them.
But the industry pulled back from the brink, staging a slow-but-steady comeback that has helped lift Canada's biggest listed parts suppliers: Magna International Inc, Linamar Corp and Martinrea International Inc.
Magna shares have more than tripled in value from the dog days of early 2009, but remain about 15 percent below prices in the robust period of late 2007.
Likewise, Linamar stock has roared back from a C$2 low point in early 2009 to C$20.37 on Friday, but still lags an October 2007 price of C$26.48.
Some industry analysts say auto parts suppliers' shares may be poised for further gains as consumers look to replace growing numbers of worn-out clunkers.
"The demand picture is pretty solid right now. Certainly we've seen significant recovery from the big downturn of 2009," said Steve Rodgers, president of the Toronto-based Automotive Parts Manufacturers' Association.
Stronger-than-expected production schedules from GM, Ford Motor Co and Chrysler, the so-called Detroit Three, prompted BMO Capital Markets analyst Peter Sklar to nudge higher his earnings estimates for Magna, Linamar, Martinrea, and smaller players Exco Technologies and Wescast Industries Inc.
Industry trade journal Ward's Automotive sees third-quarter output from the Detroit Three rising 9 percent from the same period last year, well above Sklar's 2 percent growth estimate.
The beefier forecast is significant because "Detroit Three vehicle manufacturers are the primary customers for the Canadian auto parts suppliers in North America," Sklar said in a note.
A host of factors underpin production increases, said Morningstar analyst Richard Hilgert.
"There's a lot of pent-up demand out there," he said "You've got used car prices that remain high, which makes new cars still look attractive, the number of drivers' licenses continues to grow and...the number of miles driven continues to do well, meaning that cars are wearing out."
Improved economic conditions and aging vehicles, now a record 10.8 years old on average, are also boosting sales.
Morningstar estimates North American light vehicle sales at 16.4 million to 16.8 million for 2012, a figure that grows to 19 million vehicles in the latter half of the decade.
Scotiabank's Gomes sees North American vehicle production up 15 percent in 2012 to 15.3 million units.
"The point that's important is for full-year 2012, you'll see vehicle production in North America in excess of 15 million units for the first time since 2007," Gomes said. "We're positive in terms of the outlook for the next several years, provided we don't have something that knocks the economy down again."
While markets and policymakers are focused on Europe's debt crisis, the region's problems are not seen having a major impact on Canadian auto part suppliers, Sklar said.
Western European vehicle production, down 7 percent in the first quarter over last year, is expected to continue declining in 2012. The impact on Magna and Martinrea may be softened by a European customer base that includes companies with strong exports, he said.
Europe aside, other issues are hampering growth.
"What's holding us back is that the U.S. housing bubble hasn't really completely worked its way through the system," Hilgert said. "Consumers no longer have the home equity piggy bank to draw on for large ticket purchases."
Stubbornly high U.S. unemployment is another key hurdle, along with poorly performing stock markets that have hurt pension fund performance and encourage an aging population to save for retirement, rather than spend.
But it may be Canada's reliance on the big U.S. market that poses the biggest threat to prosperity.
In a recent report, Gomes wrote that Canada's auto parts manufacturers have fallen from the ranks of global top 10 exporters because they have not found a way to tap into the rapid growth in low-cost markets in Asia and Latin America.
The United States takes 57 percent of all parts shipped from Canadian plants, but the U.S. share of global vehicle assembly has slipped to 10 percent from about 25 percent in the mid-1990s, the report said.
"Canadian automotive suppliers are waking up to this," said Rodgers. "(But) we need to pay more attention."

Crews for the Hōkūleʻa and Hikianalia are preparing for another voyage – this time around the state.
The Polynesian Voyaging Society is planning a "Mahalo Hawaiʻi Sail" to thank Hawaiʻi's communities and share experiences and knowledge from the worldwide voyage.
The Hōkūleʻa returned to Hawaiʻi in June from its Mālama Honua voyage – a worldwide journey that took three years to complete.
Nainoa Thompson is the President of the Polynesian Voyaging Society and a Master Navigator.
He says the state-wide tour is an opportunity to reconnect with the people of Hawaiʻi and to deliver a message.
Thompson says the tour will take some time and is the second, and most important, part of the Mālama Honua voyage. Adding the sail will have various outreach events at each stop and will teach the importance of sustainability and preserving natural resources.
Depending on conditions, the Hōkūleʻa and Hikianalia will leave Sand Island next Wednesday for Honolua Bay in West Maui.

Was Jesus a Divine Sinner?
By David W. Daniels
Eight percent of Americans surveyed, who think Jesus was divine, also think Jesus was a sinner, according to a survey just released by the Barna Research Group.
Let me show you how this plays out, one step at a time. Here are the survey numbers: 56% think Jesus was divine. So, 44% think Jesus was not divine. 52% think Jesus was a sinner. That's 8% more than think Jesus was not divine. So that means 8% of Americans, who think Jesus was divine, also think He was a sinner.
Could this confusion be the result of the Bibles they are reading? Numerous modern Bibles, when taken seriously, have a Catholic-based, Alexandrian text that says Jesus was a sinner in two ways: He lied to His own brothers (the word "yet" was removed), and He was angry ("without a cause" was removed).
Exhibit A:
This basically sets Jesus up as lying to His brothers. But the King James Bible gets it right: "I go not up yet unto this feast..."
Exhibit B:
In one verse nearly all the Bibles clearly say that Jesus was angry. Check out Mark 3:5: "And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand…." This again would make Jesus violate His own statement against anger, if modern versions were right.
These contradictions show how we can't trust modern versions. We know that all anger cannot be wrong. So what is the truth? The King James gets it right: "But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment:" (Matthew 5:22). Anger is given to us to use if we have the right cause.
The modern versions have a sinful Jesus. If you are trying to win someone to the sinless Christ, are you going to have him read a "sinful-Christ Bible," or a "sinless-Christ Bible"? And for those who think of Jesus as divine: how long before those people reading a "sinful-Christ Bible" start doubting that Jesus was sinless, like the 8% who admitted it in this latest survey?
I don't want to play games with the souls of men. I am responsible for how I represent Christ:
"Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven" (Matthew 10:32-33).
I'm sticking with the Authorized King James Version —over 400 years tried, tested and proved. I hope you will, too.

You Right Wingers are the job killers with your anti-employee ways. Republicans have insisted for decades that tax cuts to millionaires will somehow trickle down onto the poor and middle class through jobs. This has never happened. Nevertheless, we are STILL repeating their same failed program and, now, after a decade of tax cuts, and $6000 PER year, PER middle class family for corporate welfare, and after more than 5 straight years of record high corporate profits....Not only does their entire economic theory prove...Once again...To be a complete failure, they also have the nerve to blame everyone else, from poor and middle class families to the president, for their own failed economic theory.
I am Libertarian and blame both parties. Right wing folks want tax breaks for the rich and figure that will fix the problem whilst the left wingers insist on large public programs that eat money. Both are stupid and not going to actually fix anything. Also you are the example of this 'No it's your fault' mentality that is damning our politics. You sound like a child 'No it's his fault, no it's her fault'. Also, the world does not work in 'Left only' or 'Right only'. You are just another ignorant person.

|Home > Adaptive "load-distributed" muscle coordination method for kinematically redundant musculoskeletal humanoid systems
Muscle force control of musculoskeletal humanoid systems has been studied for years in the motor control, biomechanics and robotics disciplines. However, the study of "load-distributed" muscle control has seldomly been contemplated. In this paper, we consider muscle force control as a problem of muscle coordination. We propose a general muscle coordination method for a system driven by agonist and antagonist muscles. In our method, a set of linear equations is derived by connecting the acceleration description in both joint and muscle space where the pseudo inverse solution to these equations provides an initial optimal muscle force distribution. Thereafter, we redistribute the forces throughout the muscles by deriving a gradient direction for muscle force. This allows the muscles to satisfy force constraints and generate a distribution of forces throughout all the muscles. Moreover, to ensure that our proposed method is adaptive to modeling errors, we have constructed an estimated system model, which is added to the system to represent the real plant. By updating the parameters of the estimated model based on prediction error, the estimated model approaches the real plant gradually in real-time. The overall proposed method is evaluated on a bending-stretching movement of a musculoskeletal arm. We used two models (arm with 6 and 10 muscles) to verify the method. The force distribution analysis verifies the "load-distribution" property of the computed muscle force. The efficiency comparison shows that the computational time does not increase significantly with the increase of muscle number. The tracking error statistics of the two models show the validity of the method. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

African Flowers and Sunshine on a rainy day
Ohhh I've had a lazy day today, the weather here has been terrible. Lot's of rain and very chilly. We (my three munchkins and I) spent the day watching films and having cuddles. Which was a lovely reprieve from the usual craziness. So whilst Nanny McPhee entertained my children, I attempted my very first African flower.
Not perfect and I really don't like the pale pink border but I enjoyed doing it and shall be making more. Of course my inspiration for even attempting an African flower comes from the likes of Min Inspiration, Elizabeth Cat and RettGrayson but I thought I'd add just a couple of my faves from Flickr (also you can see what mine is supposed to look like!). I'm not entirely sure of the 'etiquette' regarding featuring other peoples pictures in your blog so if your picture is here and you don't want it to be just let me know.
1. African flowers, 2. "African flower" bags, 3. Berry Boost Bag, 4. African flowers crochet hexagons, 5. African Flower Love, 6. POSSIBLE LAP BLANKET CHEAT!
...and lastly I just wanted to thank the ladies who left me lovely comments! What a scrummy feeling it is to open up blogger and see someone has taken the time to comment - it really brought sunshine to my rainy day! Thankies again.
Hope your Thursday's were drier than mine! xxx

Hi Terrie!
Your african flower is beautiful! I think you made a really good choice of colours - some to match and one to break out. Great :)
Yes, the grannies are from my non-smoking-blanket... but as I did not succeed in quiting (shame on me) - it has now been redesigned and will problably end up as a cushion cover :))

Hello Terri! Your African flowers are so wonderful! I just have to do also some Flowers!
You have lovely blog! Wishes Teje

Gaming and cutting-edge graphics have always gone hand-in-hand for obvious reasons. Virtual worlds are more immersive when they appear more realistic or, in absence of photo-realism, are stylized with competent artistic direction.
But not all games look good. Even popular titles from studios with hundreds of employees can end up less appealing than a baboon's rear-end. Here are five fun games that've received strong reviews in spite of ugly graphics.
Mojang's Minecraft 5 Minecraft How-To Tips To Start Crafting Like A Pro 5 Minecraft How-To Tips To Start Crafting Like A Pro Minecraft has steadily gained popularity with no signs that the trend will change anytime soon. I'm a big fan of the game and I have plenty of friends who play it or would like to... Read More is the quintessential example of a great game with terrible graphics. The blocky terrain and nostalgic, low-resolution textures exist not just because of lazy design; instead, they enable the gameplay.
This creates a paradox. Minecraft is unappealing at first glance, yet fans of the game actually find its low-fi vistas a thing of beauty. They suggest limitless possibility, and a keen imagination can eagerly paint between the lines. This makes Minecraft similar to abstract art. Where some people see a mess, others see a breath-taking landscape.
The success of Minecraft inspired a surge of games with 8-bit or 16-bit style graphics, but few have matched up to the original. This, arguably, is because they go too far, adding more textures, more enemies, and more environments in an effort create a more detailed world. But detail was never the point.
Fallout 3
Bethesda's games have always featured an unusual blend of beauty and unpleasantness. While stunningly detailed and full of high-polygon, high-resolution models, quirks like strange animations and odd character design have always caused the studio's games to look not-quite-right.
With Fallout 3, however, Bethesda reached a new level of repulsive. The game's post-apocalyptic setting gave graphics designers a chance to go hog-wild with shades of brown and gray. Endless stretches of scarred land go out in all directions and, as you explore, you'll meet a crew of horrifying creatures and pick up broke-down weaponry, most of which looks held together with a few pieces of twine.
All of this fits the setting, of course, and Fallout 3 is an entertaining open-world game. But it does get a bit depressing, and the handful of quests that send you to more appealing areas are too short. The game's sequel, Fallout: New Vegas, did a much better job of blending the drab wastes with colorful locales; that it was developed by Obsidian Entertainment, not Bethesda, is no coincidence.
Kerbal Space Program
Space games are usually among the most beautiful ever designed. There are relatively few models on screen and no need for high-polygon terrain. Throw in some awesome particle effects and you've got the recipe for screenshot satisfaction.
Kerbal Space Program has none of this. Instead this indie title makes do with basic textures and models with polygon counts that could charitably be called "modest." Throw in almost featureless planetary terrain and you've got the recipe for one heck of an ugly game.
Whether Kerbal needs to be ugly is debatable. Relying on basic graphics no doubt gives the small development team more time to focus on other features, but those features have been released slowly and even now, almost three years after its first release to the public, Kerbal remains in alpha.
But that doesn't matter to fans. For them, the game's open-ended approach to rocketry is absolutely unique and the basic graphics are, if anything, desirable – if some gamers need more, well, that's what mods are for 8 Awesome Kerbal Space Program Mods 8 Awesome Kerbal Space Program Mods Have you ever wanted to design your own rockets, launch them into space, and send astronauts to the moon (or beyond)?

Path Of Exile
Path of Exile Path Of Exile Is A Free & Addictive Alternative To Diablo III [MUO Gaming] Path Of Exile Is A Free & Addictive Alternative To Diablo III [MUO Gaming] Despite breaking the single-day record for sales of a PC game, at 3.5 million, I feel as if Diablo III has turned out to be a bit of a flop. The game had a rocky... Read More is an excellent action-RPG and, for hardcore fans of the genre that miss unforgiving character builds and difficult bosses, it's absolutely the game to play. You can enjoy it for free and, unlike many of its F2P peers, Path of Exile doesn't use annoying pay-gates or disable features for free players. There's just one problem; the game is butt-ugly.
Like Fallout 3, this game is ugly by design. The unforgiving design and grim graphics are meant to entice Diablo fans who dislike Blizzard's latest release. Both monsters and men look like they've been thrown in a tumble-drier with a pound of gravel. Path of Exile makes money off graphical upgrades for armor and spell effects, so the basic stuff can't look too good.
The dull spills over to the landscapes, most of which are rendered in dreary brown and gray. Even the forests rely on dark, almost-black shades of green; the only bright spots are a few jungles and temples. But hey, it's free and its fun – stunning graphics might be too much to ask.
Dark Souls / Dark Souls 2
There are a lot of ugly console games on the market right now. The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 are in their golden years, and while some developers (like Rockstar) have the resources to extract impressive visuals from ancient hardware, others have to make do with less cash and a smaller staff. And so we come to Dark Souls.
Both of the games in the franchise brew the perfect recipe for ugly visuals. They're developed by a mid-sized studio attempting semi-realistic graphics with a dark color palate and limited resources. To make matters worse, both PC ports have received only the most basic upgrades. The result is an atrocious mix of dull textures and bland scenery.
The game is so ugly that some players have accused the developer, From Software, of fooling consumers with pre-release videos and screenshots that aren't representative of the release version's gameplay. Comparison videos on YouTube show a huge gap between what was shown at trade shows and what's actually experienced with the console version of Dark Souls 2.
None of this impacts the mechanics, which revel in unforgiving and nail-biting fights, but it does make the world of Dark Souls far less interesting than it could be. Though it's an open world game, tight levels and drab backdrops sap the landscape of vibrancy. Just imagine what this title might be like if it were designed for the PC or next-gen consoles!
As these titles show, graphics don't make a game great. That's what gameplay is for. While attractive visuals help with first impressions, they don't retain players, and only the very best can temporarily enthrall.
What's your favorite ugly game? Did its visuals turn you off at first, or did you barely notice? Let us know in the comments!

Dark Souls? Ugly? It's not your standard COD with lens-flares everywhere, but ugly? Damn.

I just don't get this present "gaming" generation, bitching about 4k, 60 FPS and other nonsense that doesn't make a game any good, although they can be pleasing to eyes...
"...with a dark color palate..." The palate is the roof of the mouth (or, to a foodie, how you judge tastes). The painting/color word is "palette."
Favorite ugly games? I love me some ugly games! (I'll be showing my age here, lol)
1. Blood Omen: The Legacy of Kain for PS1. I loved the story and voice acting.
2. Hogs of War (also PS1). What the Worms 3-D games should have played like.
3. Defenders Quest. The best tower defense/RPG I've ever played.
4. Civilization 3. I hate the new 3-D Civs, turns take way too long and the screen gets cluttered up quickly.
5. Might and Magic for Sega Genesis. One of the deepest RPG's out there.
And yet not a single link to any of the games, or the developer sites ...
Way to suck hard guys ...
Most of these games can be modded into such beautiful things that they aren't ugly and are instead extremely beautiful.
Exactly. For example, installing shaders into Minecraft and using better texture packs can make the game so much more realistic.
Developers like Mojang are such geniuses for things such as this. Think about Minecraft. You can mod nearly every damn thing in the entire game. You don't like how the game looks? You can change that. You don't like how the game plays? You can change that. It must be a beautiful thing to create a game that the developer themselves rarely have to develop actual content for. The Minecraft community has done an amazing job with texture, plugins, unique server ideas, etc. At the end of the day, you still have to credit Mojang for building the skeleton beneath it all.

Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California
My son agreed to reimburse my credit card expenditures for his flight school from a college account I controlled. The flight school lasted 2 months and wound up cost 13,500. I removed 10,000 from his account in late July just prior to his 18th birthday. In August I attempted to extract the additional 3,500 from his college account only to find out that on his 18th birthday (7/29) he transferred the account to be only in his name and removed me from access to the funds (without my knowledge). I have asked him to re-imburse me the 3,500 and he has refused. Can I sue him for breach of contract? Does the fact that I withdrew 10,000 (with his knowledge) amount to acceptance of the verbal contract? Does the fact that he continued to charge my credit card past his 18th birthday amount to tacit approval and acceptance of the original contract?
He was fully aware of the total cost of the school at the onset of classes (7/3) and verbally agreed to allow me to withdarw funds as needed to cover the CC charges. His mother had advised him to chang ethe account on his 18th birthday and to make his own decisions as to whether to pay me or not.
3 Answers from Attorneys
You made a contractual arrangement with a minor. The verbal contract is unenforceable. By weary, he could probably sue you to reimburse him the $10,000 you took from his bank account.
Contracts with a minor are not enforceable. In addition, if the child was a minor you have support obligations. That do not necessarily include flight school, but they may play into this somehow.
Your son's charges after his 18th birthday are of a different character. They can be treated as a loan to your son, to which you are entitled to reimbursement. Again, this may interplay with the $10K you removed from his account.
I would also think really, really hard about suing your own child.
Let me clarify a bit: I meant to say that you should think really, really hard *before* suing your own child. That kind of suit can irreparably damage a relationship between family members.

A Royal Navy veteran found the exact spot where his flotilla landed on D-Day in 1944 when he returned to Normandy last week.
Walter Beauchamp, 88, travelled to Sword Beach with his youngest son Roger and grandson Martyn on Friday to mark the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings.
Mr Beauchamp was 18 when he served as a flotilla signalman and was deployed to help deliver tanks and artillery to the troops landing in France.

He said: "I've been back to Normandy before, I took my son for the 60th anniversary and got involved in the ceremonies and all that, but this time I wanted to find the spot where we landed, that meant more to me.
"When we arrived we were greeted by a number of locals who rushed to meet us. One boy told me he had a present for me, he rushed indoors and came back with an unused rifle bullet which he had found on the beach. He said he wanted to give it back to a soldier who had fought there."
D-Day hero Wally Harris set to head back to Normandy next week
Mr Beauchamp, of Lambourne Gardens, Earley, recalls waiting for days to be given the go-ahead for the mission, and said he was excited when the day finally arrived.
He said: "You didn't have time to feel much emotion, there was so much going on and you had to focus on your task.
"When they finally told us we were being deployed, a seaman told me 'you probably won't be coming back' and gave me his tot of rum. Then I was given another, and another. Thankfully, the mission was pushed back by 24 hours.
"We landed at about nine o'clock in the morning, and our task was to unload about 12 tanks and hundreds of rounds of ammunition, so once we did that we could just head back across the channel. But our anchor got caught up with one of the tanks, so we couldn't cast off. I ended up signalling to another boat and we had to abandon ship."
Mr Beauchamp spent the remainder of the war ferrying soldiers and artillery back and forth across The Channel.
Once the war ended, he found work at the Dean Hill Park munitions depot in Salisbury, where he worked for eight or nine years, before working for unions in Aldershot and Reading. He retired from his post as an industrial relations manager at Sainsbury's in 1988.

Epiphone Les Paul Standard Electric Guitar, Metallic Gold (b-stock)
The Les Paul Standard remains one of the most sought after guitars in the world 50 years since its first issue. Now, Epiphone's Les Paul Standard brings you the classic features and tone of Les' invention with legendary Epiphone quality and value.
Main Features
- Classic Les Paul styling
- Alnico Classic™ humbuckers
- Grover machine heads
- Solid mahogany body with maple top
- Colour: Metallic Goldtop (MG)
- Read More
This Les Paul arrived with the pickup selector cap missing so we had to replace it with a black one instead of the original cream, as per the photo.
Epiphone's history with legendary guitarist and innovator Les Paul dates back to the early 1940's when Les, working late at night at the Epiphone factory on 14th Street in New York City, created what might have been the world's first solidbody electric guitar, better known as 'The Log'. Over the years, Les continued to work closely with Epiphone luthiers reviewing new product ideas and offering suggestions.
Classic Features
The Epiphone Les Paul Standard features a solid mahogany body and maple top that deliver the classic tone and sustain that can only come from a real Les Paul. Like all Epiphone Les Pauls (and unlike less costly designs), the Epiphone Les Paul Standard features a 14 degree headstock that gives you more pressure at the nut for more sustain with less tuning hang-ups caused by 'string-tree' gadgets. A rosewood fingerboard with trapezoid inlays completes the classic Les Paul Standard look. The hand-set mahogany neck delivers outstanding string-to-body resonance while medium-jumbo frets add to the smooth and sustained tone.
Alnico Humbuckers and the Les Paul Sound
A pair of Alnico Classic™ humbucker pickups deliver that warm, rich tone known the world over as the Les Paul Sound. When winding their humbuckers, Epiphone utilises a double vacuum waxing process that ensures you quiet operation free from microphonic hum. The pickup is first placed in a specialised wax vacuuming system before the cover is placed on the unit to ensure that the wax fully penetrates to the very centre of the pickup and solidifies all parts. After the cover is placed on, the pickup is given a second vacuum wax bath until the unit is completely saturated. Epiphone uses only the highest quality parts for their pickups including ABS plastic bobbins, 1010 Cold Rolled Steel pole shoes and pole screws, Alnico magnets and the finest magnet wire available.
Legendary Epiphone Hardware
The Epiphone Les Paul Standard features their legendary rock solid hardware including the locking Tune-o-matic™ StopBar fully adjustable bridge, a classic for over 50 years. And now, the updated patent pending design auto-locks the bridge and tailpiece in place with no tools needed! This also results in improved sustain. The Epiphone Les Paul Standard uses 1 inch diameter potentiometers for better 'throw', longer life, and reliable service and the all-metal toggle switches use rugged spring-steel contacts to ensure years of reliable service and performance. Epiphone's proprietary output jack features an improved contact shape and heavy-duty spring steel to increase reliability. All Les Paul Standards include Grover machine heads for stability and long life.

1) This is just the end of the beginning of the crisis. Prepare for a couple of years of low growth and high unemployment. It will be prolonged if banks with bad loans are kept on life support.
2) But there won´t be a depression. Don´t worry, in a couple of years we will be back and take too many risks and borrow too much again.
3) Obama will be the next American president, but since he secretly understands that trade is good, he will abandon his campaign promise to throw the world into depression with protectionist measures.
4) I think Europe will suffer more than the US. European banks are in worse shape and many have horribly weak capital bases. European banks might collapse like dominos. And since most European economies are less flexible than the American economy it will take them longer to get out of the crisis.
5) European politicians will be busy discussing symbols (like salaries) instead of solutions.
6) Emerging markets won´t be protected, but on the other hand the money that they´ve made from exports will give liquidity to the entire world economy, make them owners of many Western financial institutions and give them stronger positions in the international system.
7) No, there is no need for you to do anything with your savings and investments, unless you need cash now. The one thing we can be sure of is that when you and I get the information, others have already acted on it and it´s part of the prices.
8) If you have money, the time to buy is when everybody says that "[T]his is just the end of the beginning of the crisis".
