I'm buying a 2013 SV (87% SOH) and the owner has agreed to meet me in Bowling Green, KY. I have to get to Louisville, KY, about 122 miles north. I can get a charge in Elizabethtown which is about 40 miles from home, but have to get a solid charge in Bowling Green to get there (80 miles) and I'm just not seeing the best option there via PlugShare. Based on the 80 mile leg, I'm thinking I need to top off a little somewhere in between just for insurance.
The Ford dealer has apparently changed to Fords only.
The Chevy dealer is Volts/Bolts only.
The Corvette plant is Volts only.
There are 2 hotels that are options, I wouldhave to pay for a full night likely to use them but will be travelling during the day.
The Nissan dealer said they didn't offer charging. (I called)
There is a KOA campground that I could pay but would need a L2 portable charger. There is also a KOA up the road a bit around Horse Cave, same deal.
Options? Should I look into shipping instead?

Apparently, even though I am terrified of them, I'm in a mood for zombie stories. I'm still working on the sequels to Feed, and I recently finished World War Z. Soon I'm gonna be watching The Walking Dead and will never sleep again.
So, World War Z – one of the definitive zombie novels. I was attracted to read this book because it's written as a documentary, a series of reports from folks remembering what they went through during the Uprising, when the dead rose and started walking/running around. I thought that it might be not as scary to read something written at a bit of a distance and it did seem to help.
Max Brooks was very smart in the stories he chose to tell, with politicians, soldiers, and regular folks all getting to tell their side of events. You get a pretty complete picture of what it was like to live through something so bizarre and terrible. The distance you get from someone telling your their story instead of living it with them should have made some of the more horrific aspects of the story easier to read, but it's hard to read about cannibalism no matter how the story is being told (see The City of Thieves from our book club a couple months ago).
So while this book wasn't terrifying, it also wasn't very comfortable to read. One of the main points Brooks seemed to be trying to make was how humans will do anything to survive. Some of the acts they describe in this book can feel far-fetched, but a quick look at history will reveal the truth about the horrors humanity inflicts upon each other (again, see the historical facts David Benioff used in City of Thieves).
This all isn't too say that I didn't enjoy World War Z or think it was a really great read, because I did. It has a lot of fantastic action sequences and the different voices of the characters are really developed. It's definitely worth a read, though be prepared for some pretty heavy topics – this isn't all RUN, SHOOT 'EM IN THE HEAD! You might actually end up thinking about global politics and sociology.
I didn't see the Brad Pitt movie based on this book, but from what I saw in the trailer, I don't think they followed the book except in the broadest story sense. While this makes me a bit sad (but not surprised), it would be difficult to adapt this as a faux documentary. Folks seem to like the gory stuff better with their zombies.
(Giant writhing piles of super-fast zombies? Yeah, I don't think I'm gonna be seeing this one.)
Speaking of which, I'm continuing with my rising from the dead reading with the YA zombie novel "Warm Bodies". I'm a bit stalled on it, zombies not being much in the holiday spirit, but expect a post on it coming up when I am back in the mood to read Romeo and Juliet as interpreted through the living dead. Happy Holidays!

Proposed Canon
Kibo is a level two city. It is one of the three cities of the Kingdom of Faq. One of the two lesser cities, Vinny Doombats describes Kibo and its sister, Otoh, as boring glorified farms. Erf-b1.5-p037
Kibo is likely the same name the city had under King Banhammer. When refounding her side, Jillian lacked either the creativity or the desire to create a new name for the capital, keeping it as Faq, so it is likely she kept the name of Kibo as well.
Real World References
Kibo is the alias of Usenet user James Parry, who is known for posting humorous messages, creating the mock-religion Kibology and for "appearing when summoned" -- that is, scanning all Usenet feeds automatically for references to the alias Kibo, and responding to each such message. This began before modern search engines, and his claim to fame. Kibo's topic of interest are crackpots and other "bozos" and the humor derived from their theories.
Kibo also means "hope" in Japanese. Under Banhammer, Faq had a distinct Japanese influence. It would also bear out in the relationship with Otoh; Hope, but on the other hand...
Alternatively, KIBO may stand for "Knowledge In, Bullshit Out!" although Parry himself has always denied this. This may signify some cynicism. Possibly on the intelligence which the side acts on or on the philosophical rule under King Banhammer.

Herbal Magic: Witch Hazel
Witch Hazel can do more for you than you might imagine. It is arguably one of the most useful plant extracts worldwide! Its most common uses are for varicose veins, stretch marks, hemorrhoids (working well with pile wort), acne and bruises.
Some of its other uses include:
- Minor burns and cuts
- Make up remover
- Body and face wash
- Fade blemishes (especially blackheads)
- Stops bleeding (minor)
- Natural after shave
- Ease sore throat
- Treat damaged gums (gingivitis)
- Dry swimmers ear
- Soothe diaper rash
- Poison ivy / poison oak
- Dandruff
- Sore throat
- Skin tightening
- Eye bags
- Itching
- Insect bites and stings
- Anti inflammatory (skin)
- Sunburn
- Eczema
- Cold sores
- Ulcers
Quite a list wouldn't you agree? While there are many other situations that Witch Hazel might assist you, these are some examples. Truthfully this remarkable remedy makes one wonder what witch hazel CAN'T do!
What is Witch Hazel?
Hamamelis Virginiana is a plant that has been used by humanity for centuries! This Herbal medicine is a yellow flowering shrub found in North America. Witch Hazel is also known as winter bloom or spotted alder. Sometimes the leaves and bark are steamed creating a Witch Hazel water, a product often sold in drug stores or online herbal markets. It has a wonderfully clean scent, something similar to peroxide and often replaces it. Because of its multiple uses, it is a must have as far as medicine cabinets go.
How does it Work?
It is an astringent, a compound that tends to shrink or constrict body tissues. This along with some of its cleansing properties allows witch hazel to sterilize wounds while increasing the speed in which the wound heals. Some of its constituents include bitters, traces of volatile oil and being rich in both tannin and Gallic acid. The parts that are often used include the bark, twigs or leaves.
How Do I Apply Witch Hazel?
If you purchase the witch hazel water, it will be much easier to apply to the condition. It is as simple as using a cotton swab or Q-tip and dab it on the site. If you prefer to make your own tonic, you can. The bark is often made into creams, teas and tinctures also. In these forms the application is generally the same.
Where Can I Buy 100% Natural Witch Hazel?
There are a lot of natural herb providers available for product purchase. One of the well known ones is Kalyx.com. It is a natural online market and the herbs they allow consumers to get their hands on is immense! Their witch hazel products come in many forms and it is up to you to decide which is best for you.

Watch John Hodgman Spoof the NSA in Codefellas
On Friday, Wired launched Codefellas, a 12-part animated Web series from Get Your War On cartoonist David Rees. It features John Hodgman doing some excellent voice work as Special Agent Henry Topple plus comedy writer and stand-up Emily Heller as protégé "hacker" Nicole Winters. ("Did you hear the air quotes around 'hacker'?")
I'm looking forward to the rest.

NAIC Faults FSOC for Ignoring State Regulatory System
In a June 26 brief filed with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia regarding MetLife's case against the Financial Stability Oversight Council's (FSOC's) designation of the firm as a systemically important financial institution (SIFI), the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) sided with MetLife in its efforts to force the FSOC to turn over relevant documents. The NAIC also faulted the FSOC for ignoring the state insurance regulatory system.
"It appears the FSOC largely ignored or discounted the state regulatory system and the views of state regulators and its own insurance expert in favor of speculation, assumptions about consumer and regulatory responses to distress that have no basis in fact or history and a flawed analysis of the insurance business and its regulation," the brief states. The NAIC pointed out that the state regulatory system also includes an early warning system to detect when companies are in trouble and has a mandated, orderly resolution process in place should insolvency occur.

2012 Summer Games: Previous Summer Games ▪ Next Summer Games
Host City: London, Great Britain
Date Started: July 29, 2012
Date Finished: August 11, 2012
Events: 8
Participants: 136 (68 men and 68 women) from 25 countries
Youngest Participant: Kim Su-Ji (14 years, 174 days)
Oldest Participant: Loudy Tourky-Wiggins (33 years, 25 days)
Most Medals (Athlete): 6 athletes with 2 medals
Most Medals (Country): China (10 medals)
In the 4 years since the Beijing Olympics China had continued their almost total domination of the sport. After winning 7 out of 10 titles at the 2009 World Championships they achieved a complete sweep of the gold medals at the 2011 championships on home soil in Shanghai. So the question on everybody lips prior to the London Games was simply âCould China win take an unprecedented 8 out of 8 Olympic titles?â
When the dust had settled at the London Aquatics Centre the answer was no - but the Chinese team got extremely close. The womenâs team matched their feats of the Beijing Games by winning all the available 4 titles but the men suffered two surprising defeats. Firstly when [Ilya Zakharov] of Russia, the 2011 world championship silver medallist, produced a magnificent final dive to edge ahead of his Chinese rivals on the springboard and then in the platform event American [David Boudia] prevailed in a classic three way duel against Chinese and British opposition.
The most successful divers were, to nobodyâs surprise, the Chinese pair of [Wu Minxia] and [Chen Ruolin] who each won an individual and synchronised pairs title. Elsewhere there was a first ever diving medal for Malaysia, a legacy of the facilities constructed to host the 1998 Commonwealth Games.

ZeroMQ supports different languages and thus allow an easy interprocess data exchange between different programs.
For example a C program can easily exchange data with a Python or Java program.
Install ZeroMQTo install ZeroMQ, is necessary to compile the source code and generate the library.
To do so, under ubuntu :
- sudo apt-get install build-essential
- sudo apt-get install libtool
- sudo apt-get install automake
- sudo apt-get install autoconf
- sudo apt-get install uuid-dev
- Download the tarball for the libsodium from the Libsodium website
- Extract the tarball in a directory
- go in the directory
- ./configure
- make
- sudo make install
- Download the tarball from the ZeroMQ website
- extract the tarball in a directory
- go in the directory
- ./configure
- make
- sudo make install
On some systems is better to run :
sudo ldconfig to update the system library cache, otherwise it is requested a reboot of the machine.
Install CzmqIn order to bind the library with the C language is necessary to compile the library Czmq
- git clone https://github.com/zeromq/czmq
- cd czmq
- ./autogen.sh
- ./configure
- make
- sudo make install
- sudo ldconfig
Use ZeroMQ in your code
Usually the libraries by default are placed in /usr/local/lib.
In order to use ZeroMQ in a project is enough to add to the linker phase the two main libraries, zeroMQ and the binding one.
Usually the name is the name of the library minus the "lib" part and the extension.
So for example, if the zeroMQ main library is called libzmq.so.3, the library name to be used in the linker will be zmq.
For example in a makefile :
LIB0MQ = -l zmq -l czmq # define variable LIB0MQ containing the libraries directive
CC = gcc $(CFLAGS) -c
CC1 = gcc $(CFLAGS)
AS = as $(AFLAGS)
Then in the main preparation of the code :
projectName: $(projectName_objs)
$(CC1) -o $(APPNAME) $(projectName_objs) $(LD)
Cross compile for ARMTo cross compile for ARM, be sure to have installed a ARM toolchain other the packages described above, and when ready to compile ZeroMQ, starts with :
- ./configure --host=arm-none-linux-gnueabi
- make
Compile the examples
To compile the examples is possible to use the build script provided with the examples.
However it can be overshooting.
I suggest to use this approach :
- copy the examples in a local directory
- run : gcc -Wall -g name_example.c -lzmq -o name_example

SAN FRANCISCO --An Islamic leader from Africa is now working to help win the release of three UC Berkeley graduates jailed in Iran.
The families of Sarah Shourd, Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal say the chairman of the Organization of the Islamic Conference has agreed to intervene in their case.
The families say Abdoulaye Wade of Senegal is working with Iranian authorities at the highest levels. They believe his involvement will help move the case in a positive direction.
The Americans have been jailed in Iran since July of last year after being captured while hiking along the Iraq-Iran border. Iran has accused them of spying.

It's with great pleasure that I inform you of Sky & Telescope's first application for Apple mobile devices (iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch). The app is called S&T SkyWeek, and it is now available for purchase from the iTunes app store for only 99 cents.
The app automatically delivers every week the most popular feature of S&T's website: This Week's Sky at a Glance. We didn't want to create yet another planetarium program; we wanted to create something unique and beneficial for skygazers. In many respects, S&T SkyWeek goes above and beyond typical planetarium programs by giving you a day-by-day report on the week's most exciting sky events, with a link to an interactive sky chart that tells you when and where to look to see the event. The app is customized for your location.
We designed the app to be extremely user-friendly. For example, many planetarium apps will provide the positions of Jupiter's four Galilean moons at a specific time. That's nice, but SkyWeek told me that this past Saturday night something special was happening: Two of these moons (Ganymede and Europa) were casting shadows on Jupiter from 9:40 to 11:04 p.m. EDT. (Unfortunately, it was cloudy that night.)
SkyWeek provides a wealth of information about a wide variety of sky events. It will tell you when two bright objects (such as the Moon and a planet) come close together in the sky, and what direction of the sky you should look. It will tell you when there will be a meteor shower and how many meteors you can expect to see. Do you want to see the latest bright comet (currently Comet Hartley 2)? SkyWeek tells you that the comet is pretty much lost in the Moon's glare this week, but that Moon-free observing will return the morning of November 1st.
A lot of work went into producing this app, and many people played important roles. I want to especially thank my S&T editorial colleagues Alan MacRobert and Tony Flanders, who worked in close conjunction with our software developers to make this happen. And a special thanks goes to those developers, Tim DeBenedictis and Bill Tschumy of Southern Stars for their enthusiasm and technical expertise.
Learn more about S&T SkyWeek by visiting

Newcastle United's hopes of a transfer breakthrough have receded ahead of the club's first pre-season friendly.
Rafa Benitez's side kick off their warm-up programme on Friday night with a game against Scottish Premiership club Heart of Midlothian at Tynecastle
Benitez is frustrated at a lack of progress in the transfer market.
Newcastle have signed two players – defender Florian Lejeune and winger Christian Atsu – so far this summer.
The club has seen summer targets Tammy Abraham, Willy Caballero and Ruben Loftus-Cheek join other clubs, while an £8million bid for winger Jacob Murphy has been turned down by Norwich City.
And goalkeeper Pepe Reina is set to sign a new contract at Napoli keeping him at the club until 2019, according to reports in Italy.
Benitez spoke about what he feels is a "crazy" transfer market this week.
United's manager, however, is hopeful that the club can get the players it needs for the coming Premier League campaign.
"We know where we are," said Benitez, who will take his players to Ireland next week for a pre-season training camp.
"We have to keep working and trying to find the players we want. Hopefully, we can do it."
We have to keep working and trying to find the players we want. Hopefully, we can do it.Rafa Benitez
Newcastle are expected to return with an improved offer for 22-year-old Murphy, who scored two goals against Benitez's side in the Championship last season.
Middlesbrough's Adama Traore is another option, but United have baulked at the winger's £10million price tag.
The two clubs have been involved in discussions over Newcastle goalkeeper Karl Darlow.
Middlesbrough have had a £5million bid rejected by United.

Hermès Grooming Bag In KhakiCategories:Other Brands
While not many of us can hold claim to owning horses (and by horses I mean the actual magnificent beasts and not anything from My Little Pony), this is one bag many of us sure wouldn't mind owning for ourselves. Simply known as the Grooming Bag, part of Hermès' equestrian line that's focused on bags one would use whilst tending to their horses (again, I'm referring to the real four-legged animals), I can also see this bag used by both men and women. Besides being available in this stunning shade ofKhaki, it comes with multiple compartments as well.
For starters, there's the main compartment that comes with a zip pocket and a removable inside pouch that's also machine-washable. Then there is the additional pair of side pockets (one on each side of the bag) that's a huge bonus. Made of hard-wearing, water-resistant canvas, the bag, which sports a pair of short top handles, also comes with additional shoulder sling that's also removable, which all is all is just jaw-droppingly awesome as far as I'm concerned.
Guys can use the bag, which comes printed with the words 'Hermes Sellier Paris' printed across it, as an everyday tote great for the gym or quick weekend getaways; the girls can also do the same and/or use it as a diaper bag that's frankly not too girly-girl, meaning their menfolk will no longer have excuses when asked to help out when baby is out and about.
Priced at USD1975 (which is around SGD2260 after conversion), the only information I'm lacking on this beauty is its actual size, its price in Singapore and if it is even available here. Which just means one thing. I'll be popping down to Hermès Liat Towers tomorrow, so wish me (and my wallet) luck.

HERMES GROOMING BAGCategories:Other Brands
Because the Hermes Grooming Bag is not as popular as the Kelly or the Birkin Bag, you might have never heard about it. But its okay, we're going to cover all the details here.
In French they call it the Hermes Sac De Pansage Bag – the Grooming Bag is basically the Hermes version of the Bucket Bag. It has got the traditional look featuring a basic adjustable shoulder strap made form cowhide and cotton. It's linked to a large eyelet.
The bag is covered in Chevron Canvas with Herringbone pattern and refined with iconic Hermes Sellier Print. And surprise! The inside basket can be removed if you think that's more convenient.
The interior has enough space to store every daily essential you need, you can bet on that. And if the model images are boring you, think again. It does look cool when you put the right outfit on. Here are some fashionista's carrying this beauty down town.
Style code H060751CAAD, priced at $1775 USD via Hermes boutique.

More Monday Byron
I have spent much of the last month working on a proposal, and so have neglected this site. To not let it just lie fallow, I return to Byron's Don Juan.
Canto II shows the cynical Byron at his world-weariest. Thus, verse 4:
Canto II shows the cynical Byron at his world-weariest. Thus, verse 4:
And yet, that name means much to the poet. In Canto IV, verse 106, he notes:Well – well, the world must turn upon its axis,
And all mankind turn with it, heads or tails,
And live and die, make love and pay our taxes,
And as the veering wind shifts, shift our sails.
The king commands us, and the doctor quacks us,
The priest instructs, and so our life exhales,
A little breath, love, wine, ambition, fame,
Fighting, devotion, dust – perhaps a name.
Back in Canto II, Byron's advice on getting through it all is blunt. In verse 179:Yet there will still be bards. Though fame is smoke,
Its fumes are frankincense to human thought;
And the unquiet feelings, which first woke
Song in the world, will seek what then they sought.
Indeed.Man being reasonable must get drunk;
The best of life is but intoxication.
Glory, the grape, love, gold, in these are sunk
The hopes of all men and of every nation;
Without their sap, how branchless were the trunk
Of life's strange tree, so fruitful on occasion.
But to return. Get very drunk, and when
You wake with headache, you shall see what then.

Federal authorities probing last year's San Bruno gas pipeline explosion plan to release thousands of pages of investigative records next week as they kick off three days of high--profile, fact-finding- hearings on the deadly disaster.
The documents include interview transcripts, technical reports and other materials from the ongoing investigation into the Sept. 9 PG&E pipeline blast, which killed eight people and damaged or destroyed 55 homes, National Transportation Safety Board Chairwoman Deborah Hersman said Thursday.
The probe and public hearings, which begin Tuesday in Washington, D.C., offer a chance to "provide some transparency and some information, not just for this operation involving PG&E and this accident, but really industrywide," Hersman said at a media briefing.
"You had a number of people who were probably at home sitting around the dinner table or just arriving from their commute and they could never have anticipated what happened on that day," Hersman said. "There are pipelines that run through neighborhoods and communities all over the country. We have an opportunity and an obligation to make sure they're as safe as they possibly can be."
San Bruno's mayor and city manager are among the local officials planning to attend the hearings, during which PG&E officials are set to be questioned under oath by technical experts, NTSB members and others about the utility's operations and pipeline programs.
"I'm going back [to Washington] to do what I can to keep this in the forefront," San Bruno Mayor Jim Ruane said. "That's the name of the game."
Several California Public Utilities Commission officials, San Bruno fire Chief Dennis Haag and other gas pipeline industry officials are also scheduled to give testimony.
Hersman said officials are "very concerned" about inaccurate pipeline records.
She said the agency hopes to have a final report on the San Bruno explosion by Sept. 9, the anniversary of the disaster.
The National Transportation Safety Board will conduct hearings next week in Washington, D.C., on the San Bruno explosion. Here are the subjects that will be addressed:
Panel 1: PG&E operations
Panel 2: Integrity management
Panel 3: Public awareness
Panel 4: State and federal oversight
Panel 5: Industrywide technology

There are many ingredients found in food products or food products themselves that an individual can be allergic to. In addition, the eating of these food products can trigger all sorts of allergic reactions or conditions within the human body.
For example, if an individual is allergic to iodine, the eating of shellfish can cause an allergic reaction within the individual. Some severe symptoms can include the fact that the throat may swell up causing a restriction of the airway and may lead to the death of the individual
Other food products that individuals can be allergic to include peanuts, products that contain peanuts, milk, egg, soy, etc. One additional food allergen that may trigger various reactions with in the individual is gluten. Additionally, when it comes to gluten, this particular protein may be found as an ingredient in a number of food products.
Therefore, it is important to know what gluten is, what some of the products that gluten can be found in are and to be knowledgeable about gluten free diet tips.
What Is Gluten?
Gluten is a nutritional food substance that is generally found in grains. The nutritional value of gluten is that it is classified as a protein and is normally found in grains such as wheat, rye and barley.
Additionally, it is important to know that not all grains that are eaten contain gluten. Some of those grain products that do not contain gluten are soybeans, oats, wild rice, millet, corn, etc.
In addition to the nutritional value that gluten brings, there are other reasons why gluten is incorporated into certain bread products. One of those reasons is that gluten has the ability to absorb gases when the dough is in the fermentation stage. This disruption of the gases helps the bread that is being baked to maintain the appropriate shape.
Another reason why gluten is put into certain products is that when it is baked into the bread product it takes on certain characteristics. That characteristic is that it makes the bread chewy. Therefore, it is an important ingredient in the production of bagels.
Products That Contain Gluten
In addition to bread products containing gluten there are a number of other products that contain this substance. Some of those products that contain gluten can include pizza, various types of pasta, pretzels and beer. Beer may contain gluten because it is a barley based product.
Therefore if trying to avoid gluten in various consumable products, it is important to read the nutritional label and the ingredients that the product contains
Sharing Gluten Free Diet Tips
There are many gluten free diet tips that are available to the gluten intolerant individual. Some of these gluten free diet tips can be gleaned from various websites, professional dietitians and medical personnel. In addition, the individual can research gluten free diet tips at the library or their favorite local bookstore
Therefore when looking for gluten free diet tips it is important to find recipes that allow the individual to cook gluten free food. Some of these gluten free foods can be found in gluten free specific cookbooks.

Transcript of prezzitation
The Eagle Alfred Tennyson has set this poem out into two stanzas, the first one is to show how the eagle is waiting stealthily for a glimpse of food. the second stanza is focused on the eagles world and nature, it is telling us how the eagle is getting prepared to soar in the sky possibly to catch his prey. In stanza one i know the eagle is waiting because the poet says "he stands" i think the eagle is waiting for something to happen on a azure day. i also know the eagle is getting prepared in stanza two because the quote "he watches from his mountain walls" suggests he is preparing to swoop. it makes the reader fells sorry the eagle as it has no-one to be with however i think it is trying to say an emotional message!! This poem is about a lonely eagle waiting for its prey it dives down to grab it, i know this because the poet uses "and like a thunder bolt he falls." It shows he is trying to compare the force and the speed of the eagle and the thunder bolt. The poet is also saying how the thunder bolt is one of the most destructive things in the world and so is the eagle as it is near the top of the food chain. what is the poem about?? form: language: the language used in this poem is simple and descriptive and uses personification to show how the eagle is like a human in more way than one. this happens with the quote "he clasps the crag with crooked hands." It is referring to the eagle's claws but could mean a strong person with strong hands. it is making a comparison between laws and hands. The poet has used imagery to show how high and free an eagle can be, the poet has also used the senses sight and sound so you can imagine them. For sight the phrases are "close to the sun", "azure world", "wrinkled sea" and "mountain walls." The person reading this can really imagine what it would look like from up high. the only sound phrase is "lonely land." When you imagine something to be lonely you think of the words quiet and silent. It is referring a bird so up high it seems closer o the sun than it is to the ground. Imagery:Full transcript

|"Gypsy Blood"
|A re-editing of Gone to Earth (1950) after a disagreement and court case between director Michael Powell and producer David O. Selznick. Selznick's changes are mainly:- (1) Adding a prologue. (2) Adding scenes explaining things, often by putting labels or inscriptions on them. (3) Adding more close-ups of Jennifer Jones. He also deleted a few scenes that he felt weren't dramatic enough. Sadly some of these were major plot points so the story doesn't make as much sense as the original. In his autobiographies, Powell claimed that Selznick only left about 35 mins of the original film. In fact there's a lot more than that. About 2/3 of the original remains.

'Michael Schumacher will never give up fighting', say family in defiant message
MICHAEL Schumacher's family last night dismissed claims he will not wake from his coma and insisted: "He is a fighter and will never give up."
They also revealed how they had been "deeply moved" by the support from fans around the globe.
His family said they would never give up hope the seven-time world Formula 1 champion would come out of his induced coma following his ski-ing accident.
They wrote on the F1 ace's website: "We all know: he is a fighter and will not give up. We are deeply moved that there is no let-up in the good wishes for Michael from around the world. That gives us strength."
"We all know: he is a fighter and will not give up. We are deeply moved that there is no let-up in the good wishes for Michael from around the world"Michael Schumacher's family
But the support of his wife Corinna, 44, his two teenage children, brother and closest friends did not ease fears that he may never recover.
As he entered his fourth week in a coma, experts were starting to doubt his chance of coming round.
Brain injury patients are placed into artificial comas to reduce the amount of oxygen that flows into the brain, making it work less and giving it time to heal.
Jean-Marc Orgogozo, Prof of Neurology at Bordeaux University, said: "Every day, every week in a coma the chances decline that the situation is improving."
One Austrian website said Schumacher, 45, may suffer from Apallic syndrome, or persistent vegetative state.

This is the dumbest bank robber on Long Island.
During the first of her two bungled bank jobs Sunday in Wantagh, she walked up to a teller and demanded $5,000 in cash.
But the bank worker hit her silent alarm and stalled the suspect — by telling her she had to fill out the proper withdrawal slip first.
The suspect actually went to fill out a slip but soon suspected the alarm was hit and fled empty-handed.
A half-hour later, the same woman allegedly tried to rob a second bank and was given a decoy bundle of money with dye in it. The ink exploded all over her and the dough. She dropped the cash and ran.
Anyone with information on the robberies should call Crime Stoppers at (800) 244-TIPS.

Rapid growth in the use of aerial motion imagery for military, environmental, police, and relief operations has led to the urgent need for new ways to exploit the collected imagery. Today, in most instances, aerial motion imagery is simply screened live to a ground-based operator charged with the task of spotting events and conditions of interest. Computer vision techniques are now being introduced to ease the operator's task, and to extract information which is not directly evident in the unprocessed imagery. D-Vision's experience of utilizing computer vision in other markets gives it a key advantage.
Examples of the classes of vision techniques which are applicable include: Camera-based tracking, Object detection, recognition and classification and 3D modeling.

More than 130,000 households in the Baltimore area are eligible for assistance with energy bills but are not currently receiving help, a Baltimore Gas and Electric Co. representative told members of a City Hall committee Monday.
Customers who are having trouble paying bills can apply for assistance from the Fuel Fund, get help with weatherization and request a visit from a technician to learn how to make their homes more energy-efficient, David Conn, director of BGE's energy assistance program, told members of the urban affairs committee.
The committee is slated to vote on a measure Thursday that would ask a BGE senior vice president to report to the council on energy-assistance programs and strategies to prevent utility shut-offs.

Electric Motorcycle Support Races Coming To MotoGP In 2019
Open wheel racing fans have Formula E, the series for electric race cars. Starting in 2019, MotoGP fans will get to enjoy electric motorcycle racing during race weekends. That's according to MotoGP promoter Dorna boss Carmelo Ezpeleta, who tells Motorsports.com that the foundation for the new racing series is already being put in place.
The closest thing to world class electric motorcycle racing available today occurs every year at the Isle of Man TT. See the video below. For MotoGP to put its prestige and marketing heft behind such a program marks a major commitment to alternatve fuel technologies.
Ezpeleta says the plan is to have the electric motorcycle racing act as a support series alongside MotoGP. He expects up to 18 bikes to take to the grid at as many as five MotoGP races in the first season. The Dorna chief says at least four manufacturers have offered to supply bikes for the electric championship.
The series will be similar to Formula E in that it will use spec built racers, at least to begin with. All the bikes on the grid will be identical with the same batteries, motors, and battery management systems. That approach worked well for Formula E because the cost of getting involved in the series was kept low at a time when nobody knew if fans would turn out to watch electric open wheel racing.
The electric motorcycles are expected to hit speeds of around 200 kmph, which makes them slightly slower than the current Moto3 versions. The races are planned to last around 10 laps each. It's also said that independent teams and leading Moto2 teams will be given slots on the grid if they want to participate in the all-electric race.
Ezpeleta says that unlike Formula E, which uses carbon-neutral glycerine generators to recharge its cars, the MotoGP support series could make use of solar panels. That way, the series would leave a valuable asset behind for track owners after the weekend is over. It is likely that the five race season will be a Europe-only series, at least at first.
As Formula E is currently in its third season and is thriving. Most of the small, independent teams on the grid the first year have now been taken over by large global manufacturers anxious to demonstrate the electric car prowess to the world. Electric bike racing is not for the faint hearted. Feast your eyes on this video showing bike pilot extraordinaire John McGuinness setting the electric bike record at the Isle of Man TT on board an electric Mugen Shinsen machine.

Azuki (Red Bean) Ice Cream (紅豆雪糕)
As you can tell, I've been making ice cream left and right this summer! Actually, I've been making ice cream all year round since I've got this baby! It's probably the most utilized kitchen tool right after my stand mixer. Not sure if you've tried my Azuki Paste recipe just yet. I've been making one batch right after another to keep the red bean paste inventory in-check so that I can prepare the Red Bean Ice Desserts and this Azuki Ice Cream (紅豆雪糕) anytime I want.
Besides the Matcha Ice Cream, Azuki Ice Cream was another must-get item when I visited the Asian supermarkets. Noticed the past tense from the previous sentence? Yes, that's a thing in the past. Now, I can make my own at home any time I crave for it. Besides, I can control the quality of ingredients I use in the recipe and adjust the sweetness in it to suit my preference. That's the art and benefits of home cooking/churning. Plus, my favorite Asian supermarket isn't that close to where I live now. So, making a batch of ice cream at home is way more fun than driving in L.A. traffic. See, I think making homemade ice cream should be considered a "green act" because I can skip that trip to the grocery store, which translates to less driving. Does it make sense? No? Never minded, at least I've tried.
In this Azuki Ice Cream, I used my favorite vanilla ice cream as the base. Then I simply stir in the cooked and cooled red bean paste right before churning. It's amazing how the red bean paste can transform the plain old vanilla ice cream into this rich, creamy, flavorful, and delectable concoction. When the Azuki ice cream just finish churning, it has the soft serve texture. If you want a firmer ice cream, simply transfer the ice cream into a freezer safe container and keep it in the freezer until it firms up. Just keep in mind, the red bean will also firmed up a little after freezing. I totally enjoy biting into the beans because the firmer texture contrasted well with the soft and creamy ice cream. And the frozen red beans are slightly more starchy and icy than the creamy base. That totally reminds me of the red bean Popsicle that I enjoyed so much as a kid.
I hope you're inspired to make some homemade ice cream this summer instead of driving to the store for a tub! That's totally good for the environment, and your tummy! Stay cool and have fun churning.
Azuki Ice Cream: (Printable Recipe)
1 1/2 cup whole milk
3/4 cup sugar
1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt
6 large egg yolks
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon liquor (I used vodka), optional
1 cup cooked Azuki paste (red bean paste), recipe followed
In a medium saucepan, heat the milk, sugar, vanilla bean and salt together until simmer. Cover and remove from heat and let the mixture steep at room temperature for 1 hour.
In a medium bowl, lightly whisk the egg yolks. Set aside. Reheat the vanilla mixture until simmer. While whisking the egg yolks constantly, slowly pour the warm vanilla mixture into the yolks. Then, scrap egg yolks mixture back into saucepan.
With a flat bottom wooden spatula, stir the mixture constantly and cook over medium low heat until the custard is thick and coat the spatula. Set a strainer over a large mixing bowl. Strain the custard. Do not discard the vanilla bean, simply wash and pat dry it, then add it to your jar of vanilla sugar.
Stir in the cream and liquor, if using. Set the mixture over an ice bath and stir until completely cooled. Cover and refrigerate to chill thoroughly. Preferably overnight. Right before churning, stir in the cooked and cooled Azuki paste. Churn the custard in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Red Bean Paste (自家製紅豆沙餡料):
1 Cup Azuki Bean (dry)
4 ounce cane sugar (片糖)
water for soaking and cooking
a pinch of kosher salt
Place Azuki beans in a large bowl and cover with cold water at least an inch above the top of the beans. Cover with plastic wrap and let them soak overnight.
The next day, transfer the beans to a strainer and rinse under cold tap water. Discard soaking water. Place bean in a large pot and add just enough water to cover the beans. Cook on medium high until water comes up to a boil, reduce to simmer, cover and cook for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste a bean and it should be tender. Then, add the cane sugar and salt and turn up the heat to medium high. Cook uncovered and stirs constantly with a wooden spoon until water is almost all absorbed by the beans. Remove from heat, let cool and store in the fridge until ready to use. Or, you can wrap them individually in small portion and store in the freezer for future use.

You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream! I love red bean icecream and homemade is even better. Have you ever had the green bean icecream like we have here in HK? I am certain you have! I think some of these flavors are mild and beautiful and not too sweet. That is why I like them the best.ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh...Haven't had green bean ice cream for years! Now you mentioned, I started craving for some. :P I love desserts that are not overly sweet too. So they are perfect for me.Delete
Hey Amy! Now I seriously want an ice cream maker too! :DReplyDeleteReplies
Hehe....consider getting one soon! I've been having lots of fun creating different ice creams at home. :) And I make ice cream all year round ever since I got the ice cream maker.Delete
Homemade ice cream sounds so good! I wish I had a ice cream maker.ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh..yes they are. Consider getting one. It took me years before I got mine. But so glad that I did. I've been using it all year round. :)Delete
My husband used to eat this in China. He says it is very good. Should I surprise him?ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh....please, You've got to surprise him. The homemade version is even better than the store bought ones. I'm sure he'll love this.Delete
Homemade matcha ice cream is the best! I just made some today...and hope I remember to take photos before I gobble it up...I've got a feeling your azuki ice cream might present the same situation =)ReplyDeleteReplies

Hi Amy! OH boy, I love anything involving azuki. bread, shaved ice, mochi, and of course ice cream! I've experienced the horrendous LA traffic last time I visited my friend...never again. Ugh. I'd rather stay home and make this... and save the planet ;).ReplyDeleteReplies

Hi Amy! Thank you for stopping by my blog earlier ^_^ I used to eat those azuki red bean ice cream and popsicles or over on shaved ice desserts before I became a vegan in my early 20's. I love your photos including the styling (love the traditional teapot!). But now, you've inspired me to do a vegan version! 自家製紅豆沙餡料 seems like an easy recipe to work with, and I don't have to rely on canned red bean paste anymore! Thanks Amy for this and bringing back old memories in my life! I look forward to reading more of your posts later on! x xReplyDeleteReplies
Glad to know you also love red bean. Yes, the red bean paste is quite easy to prepare. :) I can't wait to see your vegan version of this ice cream.Delete

Red Bean Ice Cream Recipe

Correction: The original version of this story incorrectly identified one of the magazine titles published by Meredith. It's 'Parents' magazine. The text has been corrected.
The big talk in the publishing world today involves two names. The first you probably know: Time Warner. The second may be less familiar: Meredith.
If the publishing world is high school, you might think of Time as starting quarterback and debate team captain, with prestige titles like Fortune and Sports Illustrated. Meredith is more like president of the home economics club. Its mainstays are women's lifestyle titles like Better Homes & Gardens and Family Circle.
Soon, the two might start going steady. Time has decided it wants to offload many of its titles with the help of Meredith.
Meredith is based in Des Moines, Iowa, and calls itself a media and marketing company, catering to women. Ladies Home Journal, Parents and Midwest Living round out its catalog. Amy Colton is a marketing expert at Current Marketing. She says Meredith's tone is more about useful advice than high fashion.
"The practical side of things has done really well, especially in this economy," Colton says.
Plus, she says, moms love magazines. Colton's surveys show the majority of mothers read one to three magazines regularly, in old-fashioned, printed form.
"They like to kick back on the couch, soak in the bathtub. It's just their way of escaping, and holding a magazine and enjoying it," she says.
Rick Edmonds follows media business at the Poynter Institute, and says Meredith is profitable. It's not a hot stock or anything, but considering the state of the publishing sector overall, it's done well.
"Certainly any newspaper would be clicking its heels if it had done that well," he says.
Time and Meredith could create a new publishing company to appeal mostly to women. By spinning off titles, Time will end its reign as biggest magazine publisher in the U.S. But it will reportedly hold on to a few of its big name titles: Time, Fortune and Sports Illustrated. Those happen to have mostly male readers.
"I think the best compliment I can give is not to say how much your programs have taught me (a ton), but how much Marketplace has motivated me to go out and teach myself." – Michael in Arlington, VABEFORE YOU GO

International climate and democracy hero Mohamed Nasheed, the former president of the Maldives, has been sentenced to thirteen years in prison for alleged "terrorism" after a controversial trial that Amnesty International condemned as "a travesty of justice." The governments of the United States, Great Britain, the European Union, Canada and India have said they are "deeply concerned" that the trial was not "conducted in a transparent and impartial manner or in accordance with due legal process," in the words of Hugo Swire, a British Foreign Office minister. Nasheed responded to the sentence by giving a statement to the court that urged citizens of the Maldives "to stay courageous and strong, to confront the dictatorial power of this regime…[and] to take all of your lives in your hands and go out onto the streets in protest."
In an apparent Alice-in-Wonderland development, Nasheed's lawyers fear that they will be prevented from appealing his conviction by new rules put in place days before his trial began. The rules grant defendants only ten days to file appeals, which must be based on a signed copy of the court proceedings. The court has now told Nasheed's lawyers it could be fourteen days before the proceedings are released.
"At every step, the…regime has violated Nasheed's rights, while the courts break the law and the Constitution with impunity," said Hamid Abdul Ghafoor, a spokesman for Nasheed's Maldivian Democratic Party. "Democracy is dead in the Maldives. In its place, we have thuggish authoritarian rule."
Meanwhile, Nasheed is being held in a detention center on Dhoonidhoo Island while the government prepares a "special jail" for him, Hamid told The Nation. Nasheed's supporters fear that such a "special jail" could foretell a return to the solitary confinement Nasheed endured while leading the fight to overthrow the former dictatorship of Maumoon Abdul Gayoom, who ruled the island nation for thirty years and whose half-brother, Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom, is now president.
After becoming his nation's first democratically elected president in 2008, Nasheed drew global attention by convening an underwater cabinet meeting. He and his ministers donned scuba gear to highlight the dangers that rising seas pose to the Maldives, a chain of 1,200 small islands south of India that are barely above sea level. In 2009, Nasheed was applauded like a rock star by activists at the Copenhagen climate summit when he championed radical greenhouse-gas emissions cuts to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations to 350 parts per million.
The vulnerability of low-lying island nations to climate change was illustrated again last week in Vanuatu, which was devastated by Cyclone Pam, one of the most powerful storms ever recorded in the South Pacific east of Australia, according to Stefan Rahmsdort, a scientist at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany.
"I've spent time in the Maldives, enough to know that Nasheed is not just one of the planet's greatest climate heroes but the Mandela of his nation," said Bill McKibben, the author and co-founder of the activist group 350.org. "He's already spent too much of his life in jail and now he's back again, but if the global community stands up to the thugocracy ruling the Maldives he will, I have little doubt, once more restore democracy to his beautiful, vulnerable islands."

Robin Windsor poached for Irish Dancing With the Stars
- Bang Showbiz
- 26 August 2016
Robin Windsor is reportedly wanted for Ireland's 'Dancing With the Stars'
Strictly Come Dancing's Robin Windsor is wanted for a new Irish show.
The handsome professional - who joined the Ballroom and Latin programme in 2010 - is reportedly on the top of bosses' "wish list" to take part in Ireland's 'Dancing with the Stars' early next year.
A source told the RadioTimes.com: "Show bosses are scouting out dancers and Robin is top of their wish list. He's a fan favourite. Everyone loves him. Who knows? He could be the Anton [du Beke] of Ireland."
However, bosses of 'DWTS' may need to slap down a hefty sum of cash if they want to snag Robin for the forthcoming Irish version because he may have already agreed to take part in this year's 'SCD'.
The professional line up for the new series, which will hit television screens next month, is being kept tightly under wraps for the time being.
The 36-year-old professional dancer - who is dating The X Factor's Marcus Collins - first joined 'Strictly Come Dancing' six years ago.
He's partnered the likes of Patsy Kensit, Anita Dobson, Lisa Riley and Deborah Meaden on the show in the past but was forced to pull out in 2014 when he injured his back.
He then announced a year later that he was leaving 'Strictly Come Dancing' but he would "love" the show for the rest of his life.
He made a brief appearance later that year when he took part in the festive special.

Hello everyone,
I've been troubling with an issue over a week by now,
Let me explain it simply:
I have a strongly equipped PC and 4 LED televisions (2xSamsung and 2xLG)
2xSamsung Televisions are about 30 meters away from the PC case.
2xLG Televisions are about 15 meters away from Samsung TVs.
I 've used 30 meters HDMI cable and plugged in to a 4xHDMI Multipilier located nearby 2x Samsung TVs. Then I connected 2xSamsung TV's directly (with a 1,5 meter HDMI cable) and connected 2xLG Tvs with 15 meters HDMI cables.
The issue is; I was having very bad image quality. There are lots of red dots and lines on the televisions even in 24 or 23 Hertz. (above hertz I don't get any signal on the TVs)
And it is not only that, sometimes the TVs lose the signal completely then comes back after a few seconds.
I've used an HDMI extender (60 meters extender with 2 FTP CAT6 cables) instead of 30 meters HDMI cable. I then connected the HDMI extender output to he same HDMI Multipiler. The result is almost the same.
Just to test purpose, I've used a HD Satellite Reciever as HDMI output device instead of the PC. (I've replaced PC with a standard HD Satellite receiver) Surprisingly, all 4 televisions are perfectly okay.
What does it mean ? My PC is made up from high-cost equips (total cost is over $3,500)
Howcome a simple satellite reciever's HDMI output can be stronger than a PC graphic card that costs more than $200 itself ?

For more information contact: House GOP Communications 651-296-5522
ST. PAUL, September 14, 2009 -- Three state representatives today announced their renewed push for the Health Care Freedom Act, a proposed constitutional amendment protecting freedom of choice in health care. Representatives Tom Emmer (R-Delano), Mark Buesgens (R-Jordan) and Peggy Scott (R-Andover) are demanding that the legislative leadership recognize the people's freedom to make decisions about their own health care.
The representatives introduced versions of the Health Care Freedom Act in previous years, and similar legislation is already in place or moving in such states as Arizona and Michigan. For Minnesotans, The Health Care Freedom Act (HF 171) is as important as ever in 2010. It responds to proposals in Washington that would require employers to provide insurance, mandate individuals carry health insurance, and introduce a government-run health insurance option. Representative Peggy Scott says that a constitutional amendment is an ideal way to protect health care freedom of choice.
"Over the past few months we learned that Minnesotans have very strong opinions about what may happen to their health care. This amendment gives us the chance for a statewide town hall in the form of a ballot question." Scott also pointed to the importance of health care freedom of
choice for the business community. "Small businesses and entrepreneurs are the drivers of this economy, and it is their ingenuity that makes our state and our nation strong. It is through freedom and choice, not restrictions and mandates, that they will continue to grow and prosper."
Representative Buesgens said passing the Health Care Freedom Act is also important given one legislator's stated intention of ending the health insurance industry in Minnesota. In an interview with Minnpost.com, Senator John Marty said that his push for a single-payer style health system would "be putting the health insurance industry out of business in Minnesota."
"I was shocked and appalled to hear an elected official proudly proclaim that he wants to do away with an entire industry," said Buesgens. "His admission puts a lie to every promise his party makes about keeping your current coverage and seeing the doctor of your choice. The Health Care Freedom Act will be crucial to preserving our individual freedom to choose the health care that's right for each of us."
As the representatives announce their amendment proposal, they highlight Minnesota's stature as a model of health care innovation and advancement.
"Minnesota is a leader in health care and health care reform-that is why President Obama came here this weekend. By protecting Minnesotans from Washington mandates and DFL-orchestrated government takeovers, our amendment ensures we will continue to pioneer and develop solutions for accessible, affordable health care of the highest quality," Buesgens said.
