2010 Cabernet Sauvignon E.J. Church Reserve
In Stock
Our reserve wine takes its name from E.J. Church, Long Meadow Ranch's pioneering settler who acquired the property via a patent grant from President Ulysses S. Grant in 1872.
We have replanted the southwest-facing vineyards which E.J. Church established in the 1870's. These mountain grown grapes, planted at 1300 feet elevation, develop deep fruit flavors and ripe tannins which are handcrafted into an elegant, balanced wine. Quite approachable now, this wine will continue to improve with 5 years or more of age.

|Telluride, Colorado, kitchen.
One of the biggest advantages to staying in vacation rentals is having a kitchen. Some offer gourmet kitchens with the latest high-end appliances and utensils. But at the very least, you'll have a stove, refrigerator, microwave and a grill, so you'll be able to cook your own meals instead of eating out all the time. Here are three tips for getting the most out of cooking in your kitchen.
Make a Plan
First, don't assume you're going to eat a lot different on vacation than you do at home. While local cuisine and the availability of certain foods will certainly play a part, you'll more than likely be drawn to the kinds of foods you normally enjoy. If your lunches generally consist of sandwiches and chips, then assume you'll eat in a similar fashion at your vacation rental. Having this mindset will allow you to branch out to new and interesting foods in a way that you'll enjoy.
Before you leave on your trip, go online and scope out the grocery stores and farmers' markets in the area you're visiting. Become familiar with the kinds of fruits and vegetables available. Then create a grocery list that you'll use when you first arrive. Ask the property manager or owner if any shopping services are available. You might be able to have some of your groceries waiting for you when you arrive. Also, resist the temptation to buy too much when shopping. While you want enough food around to keep you from eating out every meal, you don't want spend a lot of money on groceries and then leave them behind. Be sure to ask what kind of appliances are available as well, and if there are any restrictions on grilling.
Bring Some Staples
|Cabo kitchen.
Purchase some easy-to-pack staples before departing. Everyday spices will almost certainly be cheaper at home (though stay open to local spices if they're unique and fresh). If you know a recipe calls for flour, bring some in a baggie. The same goes for baking soda, sugar, chocolate and other staple ingredients.
Along with staple foods, bring along small specialty cooking utensils you know you'll need. A garlic press, an extra spatula, a pair of high-quality kitchen scissors are all excellent bring-along items. Resist the temptation to pack your food processor, however. You'd be better off packing a favorite kitchen knife or two and asking for help in the kitchen from your travel buddies.
Meal Planning
Once you've researched the food availability in the area you're traveling to, you'll have a great idea about what kind of meals you should plan. First, don't schedule yourself for a full day in the kitchen. Any recipes you make should be quick and easy. If you're traveling with a large or diverse group of people, now's not the time to get creative either. Try to come up with meals that will please everyone. Do include local produce, meats, fish and breads. There's nothing like going to Italy and enjoying some locally made prosciutto and cheeses. Ask if anyone in your group has special dietary needs or is trying to lose weight.
While you might be the main cook in the group (and you probably like it that way), try to share the work with others. Perhaps ask someone else to prepare a lunch, and another to take on a dinner. You'll feel less like the burden's all on you. And by all means, ask everyone to help in the clean up.
Lastly, stay flexible. While you want to have a plan going in, if a meal out a night or two makes your vacation more enjoyable, then by all means eat out. Remember, whether it's a lake vacation rental, a ski vacation rental, or a beautiful place in a charming neighborhood, you're on vacation and are supposed to have fun.

Electric Spray
The Electrostatic spray device was originally developed at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, it has been rebuilt at Prairie View A & M University and started operation from 2002. The device consists of a capillary needle with a high voltage applied to it, that sprays a cone of charged oil droplets of around one micron radius into a vacuum tank. The distribution of charges with respect to droplet radius is measured by means of a quadrupole mass filter and a charge detector. We worked on experiments with Octoil, which revealed the multi-peak character of the charge distribution, and now working on further improvement by using other types of liquids. A group of students participate in this project , sponsored by ORISE/NRC HBCU Student Participation Program.

You arrive through the woods on a circular drive, the shape of which mimics the sensual frosted glass facade before you. The long, curving building is flanked by private gardens. You're at the Czech Republic's new embassy in Washington D.C.
There are some marvelously designed embassies, but none that I've seen have been quite so elegant as this one, a proposal by Czech firm Chalupa Architekti that won a recent competition to design the next Czech embassy in the U.S.
And it's hard not to appreciate the sentiment behind the design, either.
It does not attempt to show what we are like, but what we would like to be like, or how we wish to be seen to the world: open, confident, friendly, helpful, and respectful, considerate to Nature and the environment in general, firmly rooted in rich cultural traditions and with respect to democratic principles; and always ready to help.
Rarely has seeking asylum seemed so attractive. [Arch Daily]

The trailer for the French scifi film Eden Log shows you something that looks like H.R. Giger creation crossed with the Crystalline Entity from Star Trek: The Next Generation. We aren't sure what that thing is supposed to be, but we hope this dark holiday release doesn't devolve into a creature chase. Director Franck Vestiel worked as the assistant director on Marc Caro's french scifi film Dante 01, which also involves some sort of zombie/virus/mutant terrorizing spacefarers, so this might be the start of a très formidable French science fiction trend. More images after the jump.
From a translation of the Eden Log website:
"A man regains consciousness at the bottom of a cave. Tolbiac has not got the slightest idea what events brought him there, nor what has happened to the man whose corpse he discovers next to him. The only way to escape the creature that pursues him: climb to the surface through a series of paths with the atmosphere of a graveyard, abandoned by a mysterious organization: Eden Log."
No mention of that funky root-system thing, unless that's the series of paths. Eden Log opens on December 26th in France, and if we're lucky it might make it to the States by the end of 2008 on DVD. Then we can find out what the hell that thing actually is.

Slow Gardening: A No-Stress Philosophy for All Senses and All SeasonsFelder Rushing (author)
- Not available
Thanks to the resurgence of home and community gardening, more and more people are discovering the pleasure of biting into a sun-ripened tomato picked right off the vine, the earthy smell of freshly turned soil, and the cheerful harbingers of spring such as daffodils, irises, and pansies. But they are also discovering that gardening can be a heck of a lot of work. So what happens when keeping up with the weeds turns into a full-time job? What do you do when gardening becomes stressful?
Slow Gardening to the rescue! Inspired by Slow Food, an international movement that promotes local food systems and biological and cultural diversity, the slow-gardening approach can help us all appreciate and enjoy our gardens more, year in and year out.Felder Rushing, a well-known and truly one-of-a-kind garden expert, offers this practical yet philosophical approach to gardening - one that will help you slow down, take stock of your yard, and follow your own creative whimsy in the garden.
Slow Gardening will inspire you to slip into the rhythm of the seasons, take it easy, and get more enjoyment out of your garden, all at the same time.

Publishers Weekly-
Though the title suggests that this will be a guide to low-maintenance, low-anxiety gardening, garden lecturer and author Rushing (Passalong Plants) invites gardeners to make enjoyment and creative expression central to the gardening experience. Whether one loves strict formality or careless chaos, Rushing delightfully urges gardeners to follow their own bliss in the garden. Marigolds in military lines, flocks of lawn flamingos, and homemade art are as welcome as boxwood parterres and immaculate lawns. Rushing is a horticultural inspirational speaker who offers solid advice along with encouragement. Beginning gardeners will benefit from his hard-won tricks of the trade, proven plant combinations, and easy maintenance plans. The more experienced will appreciate his tips on making compost, propagating plants, and engaging all the senses in the garden. All will find some inspiration in his infectious enthusiasm and good humor. 126 color photos.
"Felder knows that if gardening isn't fun, it isn't worth doing. So if 'power gardening' has emptied your wallet and sent your blood pressure soaring like a condor on caffeine, give yourself a break. Try Slow Gardening."--Steve Bender, Southern Living Magazine
"Slow Gardening is a delight-a welcome stress-free approach, refreshing in its simplicity and firmly placing the gardener in their own space, at their own pace."--Sandy Felton, Reckless Gardener UK
"Between the covers of Slow Gardening, Felder mixes his famous Southern wit and wisdom with hard science. Leave it to Felder to come up with the 'slow' theme that entices beginning and intermediate gardeners to get their hands into the dirt in a variety of unique ways."--Rosalind Creasy, author, Edible Landscaping and member, Garden Writers Association Hall of Fame
Kirkus Reviews-
Achieve gardening nirvana by employing basic principles and a don't-worry-be-happy attitude.All too often, gardeners make the mistake of becoming preoccupied with what the neighbors might think instead of designing gardens for their own pleasure. Rushing (Tough Plants for Southern Gardens, 2003, etc.) cautions gardeners against falling into this trap; plant perfection, he writes, especially cosmetic perfection, is not obtainable-so why even try? If something doesn't work out, just throw it in the compost pile and plant something else. It is this attitude that sets this book apart from other gardening how-to books. Embracing the author's gardening philosophy will allow readers to savor their time out in the dirt. Rushing's bit-by-bit approach is likely to encourage gardeners of all enthusiasm levels. The author includes enlightened strategies gardeners should practice in order to achieve optimal results, including tips for how to make their own compost-or at least keep a pile of leaves that will eventually turn into compost. He suggests reducing the size of the lawn and several varieties of low-maintenance plants. As for pests? Avoid the pesticides and opt for pest-resistant plants instead. When it comes to fertilizer, Rushing advises for quality over quantity.The author's slow and natural approach should strike a chord with those who are tired of quick-fix alternatives in the backyard.
"Felder's enjoyment-based approach, which is what I do and teach but didn't have a name for til now, is sustainable gardening at its most enjoyable-without the usual anxiety over doing something wrong."--Susan Harris, cofounder, GardenRant and founder, Sustainable-Gardening

Most questions that people have about "America's Funniest Home Videos" are covered here. Please read through this FAQ page carefully. If your specific questions or concerns are not addressed below, feel free to contact us further.
Questions about the Show
When can I watch AFV?
New episodes air Sundays, 7/6 on ABC.
How long has the show been on the air?
Since 1989. We're the longest-running primetime entertainment show in ABC history.
Who is the host of the show?
Alfonso Ribeiro
What's this "Assignment America" thing? What am I supposed to do?
"Assignment America" is a request for certain themes of clips that our writers and producers are interested in seeing. There is no separate contest for such clips; they're considered for all AFV contests alongside any and all other submissions. If you have an entry for the "Funny Signs" Assignment America in particular, we do need video footage of it rather than just a photograph. Check out the latest challenge on our Assignment America Page.
How can I come see a taping of the show?
Schedules and information about attending tapings can be found here:
If no tapings are listed, it means that no episodes are scheduled in the near future. We do not tape shows between April and July.
I'm really busy Sunday nights. Is there any other place I can watch the show?
We have a full list on our Where to Watch Page.
How can I let the world know I'm an AFV fan?
Shouting it from the rooftops is one option, but you can also show your AFV love by Signing Up or following us through Social Media.
Where can I find a specific clip from the show?
We aren't able to send out specific clips; however we release new clips from the show every day here on the site.
Questions About Submitting Your Video
How do I submit a clip to America's Funniest Home Videos?
You can upload your video here at AFV.com, through our Android or iPhone apps, or on Facebook through our facebook uploader. You can also still snail mail it to:
America's Funniest Home Videos
PO Box 4333
Hollywood, CA 90078
AFV is broadcast in High Definition (HD) so, if submitting videos via AFV.com, please submit your highest quality video file up to 600 MB. If you are mailing your submission, all home video formats are acceptable (digital video, DVD, Hi-8, VHS). We also accept discs, flash drives, and memory cards, etc. Please include a $3.00 handling fee, in the form of a check or U.S. money order payable to "Cara Communications," if you wish for your submission to be returned. You may send an original tape if you choose, but it is highly recommended that you have a copy made and mail us the copy. AFV is not responsible for lost, damaged or misdirected videos.
Are you concerned about the content of the video (copyrighted background music/movies/TV shows, profanity, inappropriate content, etc.), and whether it's acceptable to submit?
You can submit anything you'd like. We prefer that you submit unedited raw footage whenever possible. If shooting an Assignment America, please turn off TV and Radio noise in the background. Anything inappropriate for air will be edited out by us before being broadcast if we decided to feature your clip on the show.
When is my clip going to be on the show/website?
If your video gets selected by our writers and producers to air in an episode of the show, we'll call you ahead of time (usually at least a week before the show is on) and let you know when you can see it. Unfortunately there's no way to know for sure whether your clip (or any clip, for that matter) will or won't make it onto the show in the future so there's really no timeline we can give you. If we use anything you sent us we'll definitely let you know before it airs.
I am having trouble uploading/submitting a clip.
We aren't able to accept submissions by pulling them off of sites like YouTube or Facebook or as attachments in an email; clips need to be submitted via AFV.com.
If the "Choose File" button isn't working for you, clear your browser's cache and restart; or else try a different browser. That usually takes care of the problem.
If your computer is having trouble uploading a clip at AFV.com there's unfortunately not much help we can offer you; we don't really have anything set up in the way of tech support.
You can always put the clip on a disc, flash drive, memory card, etc. (we can take just about any format) and send it into us as well, at
America's Funniest Home Videos
PO Box 4333
Hollywood, CA 90078
If you've got something good, we definitely want to see it. We highly recommend that you mail a copy of the clip rather than an original, but if you want to send something to us and get it back afterwards you can include a $3.00 check or money order made payable to "Cara Communications."
What happens when you receive my clip?
Once the AFV tape library receives your clip either by website submission or mail, it is assigned a unique identification number. The submitter's information is entered into our database and the clip is passed to the screening department for evaluation. If you submitted your clip by mail, we will mail you the Release Forms. If you submitted your clip on the AFV.com website, you will automatically be sent release forms via DocuSign. If you sent your clip in by mail, and sent in a $3.00 check or U.S. money order for return. You can expect your tape to be returned within a few months. If you did not ask for your tape to be returned, it will eventually be destroyed.
What's the deal with these DocuSign release forms?
Here's how the DocuSign process works: the submitter of the clip is emailed the release forms. The submitter completes the HOME EXCLUSIVE RELEASE (so labeled at the top left of each page), listing the submitter's contact information, the full name and email address of everyone appearing in and/or heard in the video (and the full name and email address of a parent/guardian of any minor appearing in and/or heard in the video), the full name and email address of the person who recorded the video (if that person is not the person who submitted it) and the full name and email address of the owner of the video (in the rare instance that the owner of the video is not the one who submitted it).
Long story short: submitter gets release forms via email; submitter supplies contact info for him/herself and everyone else in the video. If there are people in the video you don't know or can't contact, leave them out at this point and don't worry about them. Just do the best you can.
The instant the HOME EXCLUSIVE RELEASE is completed online by the submitter it will be uploaded to the DocuSign website and cannot be altered thereafter, so be sure to type all of your email addresses correctly. The only way to correct a mistake once the forms are completed is to write to us and have us fix it or, in some cases, to fill the form out all over again (which isn't really the worst thing in the world; it only takes a couple of minutes).
As soon as the HOME EXCLUSIVE RELEASE is completed, a PERSONAL RELEASE is emailed to the email address of anyone who was listed on the HOME EXCLUSIVE RELEASE as appearing and/or heard in the video, as well as the email addresses of anybody who was listed as the parent/guardian of a minor in the video. If you submitted a clip and filled out the HOME EXCLUSIVE RELEASE and then received a PERSONAL RELEASE in the mail, we need that one too I'm afraid (some people write in to ask why they're receiving additional releases after completing their forms; that's generally the answer. The first one was the HOME EXCLUSIVE RELEASE, the second is the PERSONAL RELEASE).
The other people appearing and/or heard in the video fill out their own release forms. If the shooter and/or owner of the video is not the same person who submitted the video, that will be noted by the submitter on the HOME EXCLUSIVE RELEASE and the shooter and/or owner will be emailed release forms of their own to fill out.
Once the forms are completed online there's no need to send us anything in the mail (some people ask).
Note: the submitter of the video only fills out his/her HOME EXCLUSIVE RELEASE, and his/her own PERSONAL RELEASE if necessary. Everybody else associated with the video will be emailed their own releases to fill out.
I'm having trouble filling out the DocuSign release forms online.
It happens. The process is very straight-forward and simple… unless it turns confusing, and then it can be very difficult to know where you're going wrong.
Shortly after your forms are completed and automatically uploaded to us, you'll receive a confirmation email. Please note: if you haven't received a confirmation email, the forms haven't been completed and uploaded to us.
If you've completed every part of the form that you need to, it'll give you the option to confirm and submit the forms. Until it gives you this option, it'll keep prompting you by saying "Next" and moving to the next field to fill out. Unfortunately the form isn't smart enough to point you to the exact spot you might be neglecting, so you'll just have to look over every page carefully. If you're convinced you've completed absolutely everything and the form STILL isn't letting you confirm and submit, then you haven't completed absolutely everything.
Some pages don't have anything to fill out, just a button to click to affirm that you've read the page. Double-check (and, if need be, triple-check) to make sure you've clicked on the buttons. Then, double-check that you've filled out everything else.
Also, check to make sure any email addresses you filled out are in email format; it won't accept anything in an "email" field that doesn't look like an email address. So if you don't know someone's email address just write "firstname.lastname@example.com," so the program will accept it. If you write something like "don't know" or "n/a" in a field that wants an email address, it won't work.
Finally, if you're trying to fill out the forms on a smartphone and it's not working, some people have had better luck on a computer.
If all else fails, you can always find copies of the release forms here:
Right-click (on most browsers and operating systems) and choose "Save As File" to download:
AFVClip Description Form
AFV Exclusive Release
AFV Personal Release
If you're unable to fill out the forms online you can print them, fill them out, and send them to us in the mail (the address is on the forms). You can also scan them and email them to firstname.lastname@example.com, or fax them to (310) 442-5604. Just be sure to write your clip ID# on the forms.
I included an incorrect email address for myself, or somebody appearing in my video, so the necessary forms might not have gone out to somebody who needed them.
You can't alter the DocuSign release form once it's been completed, but if you gave us the wrong email address for somebody in the video you can write back with your clip ID#, the name of the person, and the correct email address. Then we can go in and fix it.
As a submitter you can't alter the DocuSign release form once it's been completed. We here at "AFV" can fix an incorrect email address, though; if you gave us the wrong email address for somebody in your video you can send your clip ID#, the name of the person, and the person's correct email address to us at the email address below.
If you have any further questions, comments or concerns that weren't covered above, please feel free to write us back at email@example.com and we'll address them personally. Please note that our office is generally open during normal West Coast business hours, and is generally closed on weekends and holidays.
Thank you for your interest in "America's Funniest Home Videos," and good luck!

There aren't any teas in El Monstro's Cupboard yet.
I've been drinking tea since I was a young, as a way of relaxing before bed. I ventured out from bagged, mass produced tea when I tried some loose leaf Earl Grey at the old man's house years back. I'm still not too proud for the occasional bagged stuff, saving my snobbery for hard to find craft beer.
I gravitate towards Chinese black-tea varieties, Japanese greens, unflavored oolongs from wherever, and the occasional "I cant sleep" type of herbal teas. I signed up so I can keep track of the teas I've tried, and what I want to keep in my cupboard on the regular.

In many areas, fall is the perfect time to plant and transplant trees and shrubs. To ensure the best chances of survival, nothing can replace buying a healthy plant and digging a proper hole in well-drained soil. But now many gardeners and professional landscapers have another tool to lessen transplant shock mycorrhizae fungi.
These fungi often occur in the root systems of forest trees and shrubs. The fungi colonize the roots, increasing the plant's ability to absorb water and nutrients; at the same time, they feed on sugars from the plant. Fine strands called hyphae penetrate soil particles that plant roots can't reach. Mycorrhizae can protect plants from heavy metal toxicity and are often used on trees planted at mine reclamation sites.
Although these fungi occur naturally in healthy soil, they are often absent from low-fertility subsoils. Plants in poor soils in urban environments and new home developments, where all the topsoil has been stripped away, can benefit from mycorrhizae, explains Mark Starrett, researcher at the University of Vermont in Burlington. The fungi are not harmful to plants or animals, and typically you only have to inoculate once, at planting time, by mixing the fungi powder into the planting hole. For established trees or shrubs, sprinkle and lightly cultivate in mycorrhizae within the drip line.
Two types of mycorrhizae are available. Ectomycorrhizae are generally used on evergreen trees and shrubs and some deciduous trees, while endomycorrhizae are particularly useful on deciduous shrubs and citrus. Most products on the market are a combination of the two, so you're sure to get the correct type for your planting. However, plants of the Ericaceae family, including azalea, rhododendron, mountain laurel, and blueberries, do not benefit with either type.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – An unproductive start of the season – in several ways – may force the Columbus Crew to think beyond merely winning their final four matches in order to make the playoffs for a fifth straight season.
Not only must the Crew play catch-up in the standings, where they sit a point back of fifth-place Houston for the final Eastern Conference playoff spot and five behind New York and D.C. United, but they trail the trio in the first two tiebreakers as well.
Columbus have scored 36 goals in 30 games compared to New York's 50, 47 by D.C. and Houston's 42. As for the second tiebreaker, goal differential, the Crew are at -1 and probably can't surpass D.C. (+8), New York (+7) or Houston (+5).
In essence, the Crew (13-11-6, 45 points) actually need to make up two points on the Dynamo and six against the other two clubs, thanks to a sub-.500 record through the first half of the year and an average of just a goal per game through their first 21 matches.

Columbus midfielder Eddie Gaven said the team must concentrate foremost on getting victories.
"It's about trying to win the games and get as many points as we can," he told MLSsoccer.com. "We want to get as many goals as we can as well, but more importantly than that, if we can win 1-0 that'd be better than tying 3-3."
Even a favorable schedule might not be enough to qualify after losing three of their past four matches.
The first of Columbus' three homes games is Saturday vs. Philadelphia (7:30 pm ET; watch LIVE online). That's followed by a visit from Sporting Kansas City on Oct. 7, a potentially critical matchup at D.C. United on Oct. 20 and the finale against Toronto FC in Crew Stadium, where the Crew are unbeaten in six (5-0-1).
There are points to be had, but will it be enough to get wins? Or will the Crew, at some juncture, have to gamble and hunt for more goals?
"You're not going to be thinking about scoring three goals before you have the first one," midfielder Milovan Mirosevic said.
READ: MLS standings tie-breaking procedures
Unfortunately for Columbus, Houston and New York also play three of their final four at home, but D.C.'s only game in RFK Stadium is against the Crew.
The Dynamo host New England, Montreal and Philadelphia before finishing at Colorado. New York entertains Toronto, Chicago and Kansas City, then travels to Philadelphia. Meanwhile, D.C. visit Portland and Toronto, host the Crew, then finish at Chicago.
The schedule may or may not be advantageous for the Crew. Their final game vs. Toronto takes place a day later (Sunday, Oct. 28) than their rivals' three matches that weekend, so they will have all the scenarios known before they hit the field – including whether they'll need bushels of goals to make the playoffs.
"You control what you can control and win games," defender Carlos Mendes said. "If we do that, I think we'll put ourselves in a good position. We can't start looking at the tiebreakers."

Nuggets G Andre Miller – reluctantly – sitting out tonight vs. Pistons
Andre Miller wants to play. Period. Never wants to sit.
Only, right now the Nuggets' reserve point guard is dealing with a right shoulder separation, and doctor's orders are to law low for at least one game. Miller, though, is insisting it's only one.
"I can do everything," said Miller, talking about what his limitations may or may not be on the court. "I don't know what (doctors) need to see. I can play, but it's a precaution thing. So I guess I'll leave it at that."
Miller has missed just three games in his career, so this will be the fourth. But, he said, he'll be back on the court on Friday when the Nuggets start a seven-game road trip at Utah.
"I'm sitting out one game," Miller said. "And that's it."

BISD, B.E.S.T. group using race to wage campaign
In an attempt to keep the status-quo at the embattled Beaumont Independent School District, Superintendent Carrol Thomas and members of the group B.E.S.T. (Best Education System in Texas) have used racially charged comments to turn Saturday's election involving representation on the board of trustees into a divisive issue pitting blacks against whites.
At a recent rally for the group B.E.S.T., where members of the media were forbidden to bring in cameras or recorders, Thomas presented information on the district's use of $389 million in bond funds and told how the media is biased against BISD. But that was nothing new for Thomas, who has been castigating the media for months at regular board meetings for exposing wrongdoings and cronyism within the district.
It was the rants by Paul Jones, a chairman for B.E.S.T. and Paul Brown, a member of the group, that went the furthest in trying to divide the community, with Jones comparing B.E.T.T.E.R. to the radical hate group Ku Klux Klan – and saying he would rather fight the KKK than B.E.T.T.E.R.
"And let me tell you, we got a different kind of enemy," Jones said, referring to members of B.ET.T.E.R. in the audience. "We got a different kind of enemy today. Now, I didn't have any problem with the Ku Klux Klan. Because you know what they did? They told you who they were. And they told you they didn't like you. And they told you to your face. But the enemy today will put they arm around you, and stab you in your back. Stab you right now. You got an enemy now that will come into your house and eat your food. We lookin' at it right now tonight. They come right in and eat your food … then cut your throat while they eat your food. You gotta be careful what you ask for. … And you better pay attention … cause you know they wanna distract us.
"The enemy is among us, it's not at the Waffle House at the lunch counter. … But let me tell you something. It's a different kind of enemy. They attacking you – I call it high-tech. And if you don't pay attention, if you don't pay attention, you will be deceived because what they want to do is distract you by Dr. Thomas' salary. 'We mad about that.' That's not what they mad about. The only industry in this town they don't control is the Beaumont Independent School District. And let me tell you something, people. They want it bad, and they'll pay any price to get it. They will pay any price to get it. They will pay – they will attack freedom of speech. What this – the most precious thing this country is made of."
The attacks on B.E.T.T.E.R. became even more personal and racially divisive as Jones continued to speak. He gavthe statistics of the racial make-up of Beaumont, saying blacks make up 45 percent of the population, while whites are only about 37 percent. He also claimed the at-large system promoted by B.E.T.T.E.R. was a way for white citizens to take control of the school district.
"They say, 'Well, if you get the at-large system, you have more representation.' Now that's the biggest lie I ever heard in my life," Jones said. "At-large is like we can't read. … If you wanna keep something secret from us, put it in writing – that's what they think about us. But let me tell you something, at-large system ain't gonna give you any more representation. I challenge you in anyway except Atlanta, Ga. You tell me any at-large system and I'll show you a minority that's disenfranchised. Because the at-large system was put in place to dilute minority votes. I guarantee you; they put it in 1975, when they re-enacted the Voting Rights Act.
"Now, don't be deceived about the numbers. Now, we got the numbers, but it's got to do with communication. … It's all got to do with economics and education. And looking at economics and education, it's the chicken and the egg. If you don't have economics, you can't get an education. If you don't have education, you can't get economics. That's why they're getting by. The at-large system is designed for them to take over."
Jones then went on to say the at-large system is a system that would allow those elected to represent areas of Beaumont without living in the certain areas of the district.
"They want to represent you but they don't wanna live among you. They want to represent you but they don't want to live with you. Don't be deceived by at-large cause they ain't nothing but tyrants."
At the time he made his comments, Jones was still feeling the sting from a court ruling earlier in the day by Judge Bob Wortham, who approved a motion to take Jones' and the Rev. Oveal Walker's depositions in a possible slander and libel case between the B.E.S.T. and B.E.T.T.E.R. groups.
As for Jones' argument that an at-large system would mean a guaranteed white majority on the board of trustees at BISD, it doesn't hold water when put up to the scrutiny of BISD's own history. A review of how BISD ended up with seven single-member district shows that after the bankrupt Beaumont Independent School District was merged into the South Park Independent School District in 1983, blacks were elected as the majority under the at-large system originally submitted by the new BISD and put in place by the U.S. Department of Justice in 1984.
Jones' critics say he knows the history of BISD but doesn't care. He continued his criticism of those opposed to the ideas being touted by B.E.S.T. and took direct aim at local attorney Mike Getz, who has represented B.E.T.T.E.R. and supported its causes.
He then referenced an incident that took place at a BISD school board meeting in September 2010, when Getz was forcefully removed from the meeting for reading an editorial printed in The Examiner.
"This same man, at a school board meeting, disrupted the school board meeting and said to a chief of police, 'Take your damn hands off of me.' And at the same time when they was taking him and dragging him, he was hollering 'My freedom of speech,'" Jones said. "When it comes to some people, it's freedom of speech, and when it comes to others, it's slander – there's something wrong with that."
Paul Brown took the microphone after Jones, pointing out that he had been on the school board through six superintendents, and in a nearly incoherent, racially charged rant, talked about how Thomas is the best of all of them.
"Folks always tell you I never heard one person complain about one superintendent," Brown said. "People want you to be afraid, so they can use you. Who would talk about the kids on welfare, Dr. Thomas is the noblest. Of all the poor kids we serve, now it seems to me if you're American, and you for education, with this great job the school board's been doing. I don't wanna pay no taxes for 'em. Freedom and justice for all – that's a lie. We haven't had no freedom and no justice. We keep accepting it and we think it's gonna change, and we being good little colored folks. I served six superintendents – six. And that one right there – that colored boy – is the best of any."
Getz said he feels the information and attitude of B.E.S.T. is a major issue in dividing the community along racial lines, and Thomas' presence there assisted in that division. He said the fact that Thomas was there and endorsing the racially charged statements was unprofessional and should have never happened.
"It is absolutely dividing," Getz said. "If you want to see real division in the community, real proof of what the group is doing, just come out to Miller Library any day and look at some of the people that are associated with the B.E.S.T. group and what they're doing, and how they're in your face. One guy is out there just holding a sign with the very statistics Thomas quoted. It's ranting that this is a black school district and we need to keep it under a black administration. To him, all that matters is if you're black. It doesn't matter what your qualifications are; it doesn't matter what kind of mistakes you've made. It doesn't matter whether you're a pedophile, shoddy electrician or electrician that doesn't have a license; it doesn't matter if you're a criminal — you're OK in his book, and that's the only thing he's going to look at.
"That's one of the main reasons I attended – I wanted to hear what his message was going to be when targeted to an audience that was primarily made up of supporters of B.E.S.T. As I expected, he just couldn't help himself. If you are the superintendent of a school district, you cannot advocate for or against any particular candidate. That is clearly advocating for the existing incumbents because he's saying, in a very strong manner, if these people get elected, they'll screw everything up."
Also, as part of his presentation, Thomas showed the breakdown of the school district when it comes to TAKS scores, breaking it down into races.
"Sixty-five percent of the students in this district are African American. Sixty-five percent. That's your biggest group; that's gonna be your toughest group," Thomas said, going on to explain the difference in scores between black students and white students. "You vote to maintain this type of program. Looking at the data, how do you teach African American students? Nobody does that better than Beaumont Independent School District."
EDITOR'S NOTE: Despite B.E.S.T.'s protestations, The Examiner did record the meeting and has made the audio available on our Web site at www.theexaminer.com.

Buying Your Home
Choosing a new area to live
When you are considering moving to a new area, there are a number of things you may want to look at before making your decision. You may want to find a job in a certain area or move to somewhere that has better schools or more green spaces.
Choosing an estate agent and making an offer
Estate agents usually act on behalf of the seller, but must also treat buyers fairly. Find out what the process is for making an offer on a property and how to make a complaint.
Working with estate agents
Using an estate agent is a common way to find a property to buy. Different estate agents specialize in different types of property, so find out if the estate agent you want to use is selling the type of property you are interested in. Estate agents enter into a contract with the seller to sell their property, and so be aware that they will be acting in their client's best interests.
Making an offer
If you make an offer on a property, make sure that it is 'subject to contract'. This means you can pull out of the deal if there are any problems.
Under the Estate Agents Act, an estate agent is legally bound to present any offer promptly and in writing to the person selling the house, unless the seller has said in writing that there are some offers that they do not wish to receive.
A buyer's offer is not legally binding in South Africa, even if its accepted by the seller. This means that the agent is legally obliged to pass on any other offer received for the property up to when contracts are exchanged.
Once your offer is accepted, ask for the property to be taken off the market for the duration of the sale. This is one step you can take to try to avoid being 'dumped'. The seller may be reluctant to do this if you haven't already sold your property.
Getting details about land or property ownership
Department of Land Affairs can provide you with information about land and property. For example, the average house prices in specific areas of South Africa and details about ownership and who the financial service provider is.
Conveyancing for buyers
Conveyancing is the process of legally transferring ownership of a property from the seller to the buyer. Conveyancing also includes the various searches and checks and any final tasks following the sale. Find out what happens at each stage and what you need to do as a buyer.
Conveyancing: transferring the ownership of property
There are five main stages of conveyancing for a buyer:
- Pre-contractual stage
- exchange of contracts
- Between exchange and completion
- Completion
- After completion
Making payments through your conveyancer
You may need to make payments to the seller during the conveyancing process. If you hire a solicitor or licensed conveyancer, they may ask you for the money in advance so payments can be made without delay.
1. Pre-contractual stage
Once you have made an offer to buy a property, legal documents need to be prepared to transfer ownership from the seller to you. The seller draws up a contract for your agreement – you can negotiate its terms if necessary. If you have instructed a solicitor or licensed conveyancer, they will carry out this work and advise you on the contents of the contract.
The contract contains details including:
- what the boundaries of the property are
- what fixtures and fittings, like carpets and kitchen units, are included in the sale
- how much the property is being sold for
- any legal restrictions or rights on the property, like any public walkways or rules about use of the property
- any planning restrictions in place
- a description of the services to the property, e.g. drainage and gas
- the date for completing the purchase (called 'completion')
Other tasks to be done at this stage are explained below.
Researching the property
Before you sign and exchange the contract, both you and your solicitor or conveyancer should find out as much as possible about the property.
The seller does not have to voluntarily tell you about problems there might be with the property or neighbourhood. The seller should, however, reply truthfully to enquiries. Your solicitor or licensed conveyancer will do a number of searches and checks including:
- checking the 'title' – the legal document that proves the seller's ownership
- asking the local authority about any planned works like road works or new developments that might affect the property
- enquiries to the seller's solicitor or licensed conveyancer about the details of the contract
Your solicitor or conveyancer may need to carry out additional searches depending on the type of property involved. For example, if your property is in an area where there have been mines, your solicitor or licensed conveyancer will need to do a mining check on the land.
Getting home insurance for the property
You will also need to consider insurance cover for the property – you will usually be responsible for insuring the property as soon as contracts are exchanged.
Getting a property survey
You should also get a property survey before the exchange of contracts, to uncover any problems with the building like dry rot.
Getting your bond in place
If you are using a bond to buy your property, you will need a need a formal bond approval from your financial services provider before you sign the contract. The financial services provider will send documents for you or your solicitor or conveyancer to sign.
2. Exchange of contracts
When the buyer and seller are happy with its contents, they sign final copies of the contract and send them to each other. This is called the exchange of contracts. Once contracts are exchanged, the agreement to sell and buy is legally binding and usually neither party can pull out without paying compensation. Buyers will usually pay the seller a deposit (usually 10% of the purchase price of the property) at the exchange of contracts stage.
3. Between exchange and completion
In many cases, there are a few further checks to be done at this stage.
After the exchange of contracts (if not dealt with already) your solicitor or conveyancer will:
- Prepare the legal documents to transfer ownership
- check bond documents
- make sure that they have all the necessary funds – which may include payment of their own fees
- arrange for the transfer of funds to the seller
- do final Land Registration checks
- check all agreed tasks set out in the contract have been done, like agreed repairs
- check that fixtures and fittings have been left as agreed
4. Completion
Once all matters between exchange and completion have been dealt with, the money for the property is transferred from buyer to seller. The sale is now completed and the keys are handed over. The property now belongs to the buyer.
At this stage, you will:
- receive the keys to the property on the agreed date
- pay the seller the remainder of the cost of the property through your solicitor or licensed conveyancer
- receive the legal documents that prove ownership of the property
- pay your solicitor's or licensed conveyancer's fees, if not already done
5. After completion
At this stage you will need to:
- register the change of ownership of the property with Land Registration Office
- pay any Taxes if applicable
- tell your insurers that completion has taken place
Your solicitor or licensed conveyancer can advise you on how to pay the Land Registry fees and Stamp Duty. For more about Stamp Duty see 'Tax on buying property'.
Finding someone to do the conveyancing
Many people hire someone who is professionally trained to do the conveyancing, but you could do it yourself. 'Finding a solicitor or conveyancer' explains how to find someone who is qualified and what to consider if you want to do the conveyancing yourself.
Planning for buying a home
Buying a property will probably be your biggest single investment. So it's important to work out the total cost – not just the mortgage – and how much you can really afford. You also need to plan for increases in your future outgoing, like a rise in interest rates.
Advice for first time buyers
Buying a home for the first time can be expensive. Make sure you have an idea of the different costs and find out ways you could make buying a home possible and less daunting.
Buying a home with other
You may want to think about buying a home with other family members, friends or a partner. Buying with others can be a solution to coming up with the deposit and sharing costs. It's important to carefully think about what might happen if circumstances change and one of you wants to sell their share of the property. You should get legal advice and draw up an agreement as to how property will be divided in case of death, or if one of you decides to give up their share in the property.
Finding the right bond
Most financial providers require a deposit of at least five to ten per cent of the value of the property you wish to buy. As the price of property increases, the deposit can become expensive. You may want to consider asking family or friends for financial help. There are many types of bonds available and some are targeted specifically at first time buyers.
Buying a home for the first time
High property prices have made it difficult for many people to afford to buy a home. This may be a particular challenge for you if you are a first time buyer, as you will have many once-off initial costs including:
- a deposit
- Stamp Duties & Taxes
- surveyors' fees
- administration fees s
- Land Registry fees
- removals/or moving in charges
If you are thinking of buying a house for the first time, make sure that you have planned for all the costs that you will face. 'Planning on buying a home' will explain the main costs that you are likely to have to pay.
Property surveys
When you are buying a home it's important to get a report about the property's overall condition. This can help uncover any work that may need to be done to the property before you buy.
Buying a property
When you are thinking about buying a property it's a good idea to find out whether there are any problems with the structure. You should also know if any repairs or alterations need to be made. A property survey may save you time and money in the long run if you uncover expensive defects before you buy. There are different types of survey to choose from according to the amount of information and advice you require about the property.
Types of survey
As a buyer there are three main types of survey to choose from:
A valuation tells the lender how much the property is worth and will usually be carried out by your mortgage company if you need a mortgage to buy the property.
A home buyer survey reports on defects in the property, its condition and value.
This type of survey provides a more detailed report than the home buyer survey. It is recommended for older properties and those in need of work, or simply for peace of mind.
Make sure that the person carrying out the survey is qualified to do so. You can find a qualified surveyor in the telephone directory or online
When viewing a property it is easy to forget to ask important questions. Use these checklists to help you prepare for visits to properties you are interested in. The lists include questions you could ask the seller and what to look out for while you are in the building.
Try to do as much background research as you can on the property and the area. This makes it less likely that you will waste time seeing something that does not meet your needs.
An Electrical Certificate will provide some information about the energy efficiency of the building, so ask the seller for a copy.
When you are ready to view:
- take someone else with you if you can, preferably someone with different tastes who can spot things that you miss
- make sure you view the property during the day when you will be able to see better and spot problems
- if you really like a property, try to arrange to view it again at a different time of the day to give you a different perspective
- try not to view too many properties in one day
- take your time looking round the property
- don't be afraid to ask direct and blunt questions about the property
- don't be pressurized by the estate agent or vendor into making an offer
Questions to ask the seller
You might want to ask the seller the following questions:
- what is included in the sale – land, garage, furniture, fittings, etc
- what is the cost of the Council Rates and the average costs of other utility bills such as electricity and water
- why are the sellers moving
- have there been any problems with the geyser; when was it last serviced
- if there is a loft, has this been insulated – if so, how long ago
- does the property have cavity wall insulation
- has the property been altered in any way – if so are the relevant planning and building control consents available to inspect
- does the house have full central heating – if so, how old is it
- is the property in a conservation area or a listed building – this could restrict any future alterations
- have any of the rooms been decorated recently – if so, why
- what are the neighbours like – are they noisy
- has there ever been a dispute with the neighbours or anyone living nearby
Inside the property – things to look out for
Look out for the following when you are inside the property:
- does the property need upgrading – if so, how much will this cost
- are the rooms big enough for your needs – furniture, etc
- what are the views like
- how is the water heated
- is there any sign of subsidence, like major cracks in the walls or the doors sticking
- is there a smell of damp or any other sign such as the walls feeling damp, wallpaper peeling, paint bubbling, watermarks or mould
- do the window frames have cracking paint; if you can press your finger easily into the wood it's rotten
- how much storage space is there
- are there enough power points – how old do they look
- does it feel like it could be your home
Location – things to think about
You should also make sure the location meets your requirements, so here are a few things to think about when choosing somewhere to live:
- nearby main roads, or pubs, clubs or restaurants as these can be noisy
- nearby railway lines
- overhead flight paths
- the feel of the community – does it seem friendly
- does the house get enough natural light
- is the property well maintained
- the age of the property
- garden size
- the condition of nearby properties
- what is the public transport like in the area
- are the local schools good
- are there any known plans for development in the area
- what are the local amenities like – shops, hospitals, leisure facilities, etc
- what is the crime level like in the area
Buying a newly built home – things to check
If you are buying a newly built home, make sure it's covered by a good warranty to cover you if there are problems with the building. Use the checklist to find out things you should look out for, and find out how well the property meets environmental standards.

The first new releases of 2012
By Chris Troy
Well okay, the title's kind of a lie. Most of the new stuffs we'll be looking at came in towards the end of 2011, but you know, I was busy playing catch up with the best of list and attending MAGfest (which again, was awesome). However most of the awesome new arrivals are STILL in stock (for now!), so we might as well go over what those things are just in case you the reader are interested. Which hopefully, you will be.
On the left, you'll see a picture of the Robot Damashii Wing Zero Custom (from the Gundam Wing OVA "Endless Waltz") from Bandai. I'm not exactly how new it is on the shelves of Japan, but we finally have it in at FPNYC, so that's all that matters right? The Winger Zero Custom joins the Tallgeese 3 as the 2 Wing-related Robot Damashiis we have in, as well as the Gouf Custom and the Gundam Unicorn from the Universal Century line. All 3 of these figures are super articulated, come with a nice selection of variant parts and weapons, and are 2nd only to the Revoltech in overall mecha quality, which is impressive for a line that hasn't been around as long. We've sold out of the One Piece/DBZ/MegaMan/Tiger and Bunny releases super fast, so if you want yourself a super articulated Gundam figure, you best come get them as soon as possible.

There's slight distortion on the sound. I'm guessing that's normal for the adlib era? or do I have a crappy solder joint some place?
Word of enlightenment. If your sound is all 90% noise / distortion and 10% signal, you probably want to re-seat that smaller Yamaha chip in its socket.
Great product! Now for an LPT MPU / Midi interface for the MT32? ??
hi mrkirkby,
nice, that's great.
and welcome on the forum !!!
Can you try with a large headphone, if you still hear distortion ?
The amp is suitable for line out and also direct headphone,
best not to set it too high when using for line out to powered speakers
You can add the 'jepael bass boost' jumper for some sonic tweaking.
But sometimes distortion is in the instrument by design.
Does it sound like this, then? or more noise ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbPPHvGpPEc&t=308s
Some more LPT based sound generating projects in the pipeline, but an LPTMPU, is that useful ?

Sorry gals, I haven't posted this weekend, spur of the moment, the BF decided that we should go to Vegas Friday night, and I figured ok i'll just post when I get there, then I find out there is NO INTERNET CONNECTION! So that wasn't fun...hence I could not post at all this weekend. :(
However! I did go to the MAC PRO store Las Vegas, I think I am going to make it a tradition in my travel adventures to hit up every MAC PRO store in each city I go to.
I picked up more MAC Pigments: Cool Pink, Emerald Green, and Your Ladyship! I know last time I went to the Pro store in NY, I didn't think Emerald Green was the green I was looking for because it looked too light, but then when I swatched it in Vegas, it was a lot more beautiful than it was in NY! Deep green with lots of shimmer! Your Ladyship is sold out in the MAC stores near where I live so I am really glad they had it! It's a gorgeous creamy beige with shimmer, almost looks like a light gold at certain angles. Almost like "Provence" pigment, just lighter and more shimmery. Cool Pink is really pretty, I just have to figure how to use it right because it's matte and sometimes it comes out light pink and other times it's almost a lavender/purple. We'll see....
Close-up of the 3:
We went to Planet Hollywood and they had BET's Celebrity Poker and we saw Nelly, Kat Williams, Mekhi Phifer, Eddie Griffin, Orlando Jones (7up commercial guy), and a bunch of other comedic celebs whose names I forgot. I was so star struck when I saw Nelly, he was blinged out! And they were all seriously so nice talking to everyone in the crowd. I brought my crappy camera which is why the pics came out blurry. :(
How a million dollars looks like!
We were walking back to the car when we saw DMC! He was super nice!
My BF then won me a zebra! My favorite animal! I named him Ziggy of course. :)
Meet ZIGGY.
Ziggy and Daddy:
My FOTD, using the Drizzlegold Beauty Powder under my mineral foundation, I love it! Gives a nice glow!
What I used:
Face: MAC Beauty Powder in "Drizzlegold" under my Silk Naturals Foundation
- MAC Mineralize Eyeshadow in "Silversmith" all over lid

MAHLE surpasses own targets in first half of 2015
Stuttgart/Germany, September 7, 2015 — In the first half of 2015, the MAHLE Group achieved sales of EUR 5.53 billion and has thereby grown by 12.5 percent compared with the same period in the previous year. At EUR 324.5 million, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) are also 17.2 percent above the previous year's value. The EBIT margin rose to 5.9 percent.

Half year press conference KPIs [PDF; 20 KB]
- Double-digit growth in sales and operating profit
- Strategic acquisitions expand expertise in mechatronics and thermal management
- Innovations set new performance standards in engine and air conditioning technology
"This half-year result has exceeded our own expectations. We need to bear in mind that the high exchange rate effects have had a positive impact on our business," says Wolf-Henning Scheider, Chairman of the Management Board and CEO.
For the year as a whole, MAHLE anticipates an overall growth of about 15 percent, amounting to approximately EUR 11.4 to 11.6 billion. "The course we have set ourselves is paying off," comments Scheider.
During the first half of the year, MAHLE has grown in all business segments and regions except in South America.
There is little momentum in the European vehicle market, where MAHLE currently generates around 51 percent of total sales. While the Italian and Spanish markets are showing clear signs of recovery, they cannot compensate the strong decline in eastern Europe and Russia in particular (minus 26 percent). "The present situation is less than encouraging. Nevertheless, one should not underestimate the potential of this market. Above-average growth can be expected there in the medium term," observes Scheider.
The development in North America was particularly pleasing. MAHLE increased sales by around 19 percent in the first half of 2015, and generates approximately 24 percent of group sales in this market. "We were able to take advantage of the boost in this region, which—at a rate of three percent for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles—is currently showing the strongest growth," says Scheider. Production of medium-weight and heavy-duty commercial vehicles has even achieved a plus of 8.5 percent. A few weeks ago, MAHLE commissioned two new Mexican locations in Ramos Arizpe and Celaya, where air conditioning modules and air cleaner systems for the markets in North and South America are manufactured. By end of 2015, MAHLE will have more than 8,000 employees at ten locations in Mexico.
The Asian market has clearly lost momentum. Nevertheless, MAHLE was able to counteract the trend and increase sales by over 22 percent. While the decline in commercial vehicle production was particularly noticeable in China, the Indian market has recovered significantly in this segment. "Despite its current restrained performance, Asia still remains the number one growth market with approximately 19 percent of our group sales today. Consequently, we must and will continue to vigorously expand our business in this region," says Scheider. The company was already able to record great success in recent weeks. Over the next few years, MAHLE will be supplying a major local manufacturer in China with cooling modules for two families of gasoline turbocharged engines.
Development remains difficult in the Latin American market, where MAHLE currently only generates around six percent of total sales. Nonetheless, the group performed well although vehicle production in the region is expected to shrink by around 16 percent this year. "South America still remains a market with great potential, even though the current situation is extremely difficult. It would therefore be a mistake to write off this region," emphasizes Scheider.
Overall, the negative developments in the key regions of the world are having a dampening effect on global vehicle production. As a result, we are only expecting a subdued increase of 1.7 percent to about 89 million units, which still corresponds to a new all-time high in vehicle production.
As at June 30, MAHLE employed approximately 67,000 people at 170 locations worldwide—5.5 percent more than at the same time in the previous year.
Strategic cutting-edge fields of mechatronics and thermal management strengthened
The half-year result includes the first-time consolidation of Letrika Group and Amovis, with sales totaling a good EUR 110 million. Not least, though, the integration of the latest company acquisitions is noticeably driving the technological advancement of the group. For example, in the business segment of mechatronics, MAHLE is currently using the expertise for electric machines, which was newly acquired from Letrika. "We are developing a series of electrically powered auxiliary accessories, such as coolant pumps and motors for electric steering, which operate independently of the combustion engine and improve CO2 efficiency," explains Scheider. Another contributing factor is the expertise from the Japanese company Kokusan Denki, of which MAHLE acquired more than 90 percent of the shares in June 2015; it was therefore not yet included in the half-year financial statements. "We see significant growth potential in the field of mechatronics and are targeting a sales volume of around EUR 500 million in this market segment in the medium term," comments Scheider.
Also not included in the figures for the first half-year is the thermal business acquired from U.S. supplier Delphi in February. Its approximately 7,500 employees and 13 locations have become legally part of the MAHLE Group since June 30, 2015. In the past year, this company generated sales of around EUR 1 billion. "This acquisition now makes us the world's second largest supplier of thermal management solutions in the automotive industry today," stresses Scheider. The portfolio includes cooling systems for engines, cabin air conditioning, air conditioning technology for mobile and stationary applications, as well as solutions for electric drives. "High-performance batteries require a constantly tempered environment. Our solutions not only meet this requirement but also make an important contribution to the further development of e-mobility and the diversification of MAHLE," says Scheider. The financing of the purchase prices paid in June was already secured in May. Among other things, MAHLE was able to place a second bond with an overall volume of EUR 500 million, which was oversubscribed by a factor of four. "MAHLE is perceived as an interesting investment on the capital market," emphasizes Scheider. Through the expansion of its activities, the company already generates more than 50 percent of its sales outside the traditional business of components and systems for combustion engines in the passenger car market.
Revolutionary new development for charge air cooling exhibited at the IAA
MAHLE also continues to focus on the gasoline and diesel engine business. At the IAA, the group will be introducing a number of exciting solutions that can significantly reduce fuel consumption and emissions. For instance, MAHLE developers have succeeded for the first time to connect the engine coolant circuit with the refrigerant circuit of the HVAC system. The charge air temperature can thus be lowered below all levels previously achieved in the industry. As a result, the engine's responsiveness is significantly improved. At the same time, fuel consumption and emissions values are reduced.

Mahiedine Mekhissi-Benabbad has been stripped of the 3000 metres steeplechase gold medal after performing a shirtless celebration down the final straight at the European Athletics championships.
The Frenchman, well clear of the rest of the field, pulled off his vest as he came around the final bend and put it in his mouth as he waved to the crowd.
He then held it in his hand as he sprinted down the final straight for what appeared to be his third successive European gold in the event but turned out to be a premature celebration.
He initially received a yellow card from a track official for "acting in an unsporting or improper manner", before he started his lap of honour.
He was later disqualified after Spain, whose athletes finished fourth and fifth, made an official protest citing rules on "clothing, shoes and bibs", organisers said.
Mekhissi-Benabbad's compatriot Yoann Kowal, who had moved from fourth to second in the final 200 metres, took gold instead, ahead of Krystian Zalewski (Poland) and Spain's Angel Mullera.
"When I took off my vest on the last metres, it was because of my joy, of course," he told the championship's website before the disqualification was announced.
"It was the pleasure of winning. I was so happy to defend my title. The main thing was to win. I did not know that I was going to get a yellow card for that.
"But this yellow card, this is nothing. It was just the emotion. Today I will enjoy my victory and we have to see how this evening will finish."
Kowal said: "What Mahiedine did with his vest was not disturbing or anything, nothing important."
Mekhissi-Benabbad has garnered a reputation for his controversial outbursts. One disturbing incident captured on video involved the athlete slapping and then pushing "Appy", a European Championships mascot worn by a 14-year-old girl in Helsinki.
Mekhissi-Benabbad's history with mascots continued in Barcelona where he requested a mascot kneel in front of him before pushing the mascot to the ground.
The Algerian-born athlete was again embroiled in controversy when he was suspended along with teammate Mehdi Baala after they traded blows following the 1500 metres at a Diamond League meeting in Monaco.
At one point Baala head-butted Mekhissi-Benabbad who responded by swinging his arms wildly as he threw a series of punches, some of which missed their intended target.

Wait! Before you fire up that 3DS Ambassador copy of NES classic Metroid on your Nintendo 3DS — you know those games are available for download already, right 3DS owners? — do not put in the following password. It'll crash your 3DS!
The password I am referring to, of course, that you should never, ever put into your 3DS is:
The NARPAS SWORD password? That's probably fine. As is the famous JUSTIN BAILEY password. But the ENGAGE RIDLEY password, which would normally just make a game of Metroid unplayable beyond the opening screen, will make your Nintendo 3DS completely useless until you power cycle the thing. Exercise caution!
Metroid's buggy password on the 3DS was spotted by BrightNeko on GBATemp.net (via NeoGAF), a discovery we're all thankful for.

Reviewed by: CBM Christian Book Marketing
10.0 out of 10.0 stars
Hippo in the Stable by Christian author, Mark Trodd, is a full color illustrated children's book that is a delightful tale of a Hippo named Harriet who is captured from her home by Roman soldiers. She is taken to Jerusalem, but escapes with Boon, a wide-eyed intelligent monkey. The pair end up in an amazing place, which happens to be the same stable as where baby Jesus was born. There in Bethlehem, the two are curious why this baby is so special, as they witness the three wise men giving gifts to worship the little baby in the manger who is said to have been born to save the people from their sins. They later learn that he will lead people to the way to God.
Your children will learn of baby Jesus and history as these two charming characters journey together, and follow Jesus to find their way back home.

text: I'll just come out and say it: To me, $300 feels like an insane amount of money to spend on a jean jacket. But, as soon as I happened on this one from Acne, I was able to justify the out-of-my-budget price tag because it: a) struck that perfect balance between boxiness and fittedness and, b) had a great early '90s stone-wash rinse—one that looked vintage but without those unsightly overexposed white spots at the seams. A $300 jean jacket that I'd wear all summer was a better buy, I reasoned, than a $50 one that would sit in my closet. It's on its way to paying off in terms of the old price-divided-by-wears calculation. But, take it from someone who spent more than that: it will be well worth it.

(Phoenix, Arizona—May 16, 2003) Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard has announced that Attorneys General from 48 states and jurisdictions have finalized an agreement aimed at educating and warning consumers and families about the risk of lead paint exposure during repainting and other home renovation work.
The agreement, reached between the state Attorneys General and the National Paint and Coating Association (NPCA), requires paint manufacturers to affix warning labels on paint cans and provide consumer education and training, alerting consumers to the hazards of lead paint exposure and how to avoid it.
"We believe that meaningful warning labels will substantially reduce the number of lead poisoning cases, especially relating to children," Goddard said. "This agreement will help educate families and consumers about the potential dangers associated with a home improvement project."
While lead paint has not been manufactured or sold since 1978, it still presents a serious health risk to adults and, especially, young children who are exposed to dust or occupy homes during renovations.
The agreement requires both a lead exposure warning on the side of the paint can, as part of the manufacturer's surface preparation instructions, as well as an abbreviated warning either on the top of the can or on a separate "sticker" where the warning is less likely to be obscured after the paint is used. The National Paint and Coatings Association has also agreed to fund and provide consumer education and training courses on lead-safe renovation and repainting to homeowners, contractors, landlords and housing workers. Also under the terms of the agreement, NPCA will develop discount programs for safety equipment.
Officials from the State Attorneys General participating in the initiative met in October with representatives from 10 major paint manufacturers to begin negotiations.
Lead poisoning stemming from inadequate surface preparation prior to repainting affects children from all social and economic backgrounds. Whether repainting a rented apartment or installing a brand new kitchen, it is imperative that families take the proper precautions.
To learn more about working safely with lead paint, consumers should call the Environmental Protection Authority's Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD (5323) or log on to www.epa.gov/lead.

Lokta Handmade Art Paper
This handmade heavyweight art paper is made in rural, mountainous villages in Nepal from the inner bark of the lokta bush. The paper has to travel for five days and five nights, on the backs of donkeys, to reach the nearest passable road. From this point it travels to Kathmandu and, then, the world.
Lokta is a renewable resource, as the bush regenerates from the same root system after being harvested. The paper is tree-free, acid-free and environmentally sound. It is widely regarded as one of the world's finest papers.
The deckle edge paper is perfect for book binding, lampshades, gift wrapping, mattes for framing, and canvas for painting.
