Slowness of work and lack of motivation to find it (no doubt caused by my cold) meant that mid-afternoon today I gave up staring at my computer and went and got productive with the Lego instead. I say "productive", some might argue that building a Lego car doesn't quite count as there is no ultimate gain at the end of it, other than a little self-back-patting. Nonetheless, my aching back and legs are testament to the hours I spent sat on the floor today. That and the visible progress I've made (photos coming tomorrow now added).
With the basic chassis pretty much sorted I started work on the body, taking some inspiration from a Ford Mustang but generally doing what I could with the pieces I have to make something vaguely resembling a muscle car. First came the front bumper, which incorporated some cool headlights. Photos don't do justice to just how cool they look, especially in the dark. I'm going for a red body, with a white stripe down the middle. Making convincing curves with Lego has always been a challenge, and the result is usually a somewhat angular version of the intended curves. Basically, use your imagination and you'll see a pretty car underneath.
With the front bumper and wheel arches sculpted, I became aware that the front of the car was fast becoming quite heavy, and the suspension was taking a lot more weight than I'd anticipated. I should have learnt that lesson from when I made my Batman Tumbler, when I had a similar problem with the front suspension (though in all fairness that was a complicated setup, more so than this one). I don't think it helped that I moved the engine so that it was directly over the wheels, effectively pushing a lot more of the weight to the front of the car. The front bumper is also quite dense, and loathe as I am to strip it back I'm beginning to think I might have to. It's either that or have the front wheels scraping the top of the wheel arches the whole time and losing all the action in the suspension, which would be a shame.
I also made a start on the rest of the body, tweaking the rear suspension mounts and making the rear subframe more rigid thanks to a sort of roll bar I've installed in a bright yellow. It's far from being cosmetic though, with the diagonals really stiffening up the rear of the car. It also meant I had something to attach the roof to. Creating the front windscreen was a nice challenge too, creating a flexible series of struts that eventually connected together to give a more realistic shape to the top of the car. While I was at it I also routed the steering both to an interior steering wheel (just in case I inexplicably shrink in size so I can sit inside the car) and to an alternative steering wheel mounted conveniently on the roof so I can actually steer it.
The main problem I foresee for tomorrow is finding enough red pieces. I'm fast running out of them and I still have a lot of sculpting to do on the rear end. I think it's going to end up being somewhat minimal at the back, unless I can justify working in some other colours. Reducing the weight of the front of the car might help though, freeing up some more red pieces that can be reused elsewhere. Even so, I doubt I'll have enough left over to put in working doors, and with the weight issue already surfacing it's unlikely I'll be able to do much with the interior either. Still, I'm really pleased with the progress today – it's finally looking like a car!

Game changers. Whatever it is that's made a huge impact on a field or at a certain time, that's what you would call them. In the gaming industry, the devices are the game changers. They take fun and entertainment to new heights, delighting generations of players.
As a gaming systems company, INTECQ LIMITED knows some of the most-loved devices in the recent decades. Going back in time can show you how these gaming tools made history.
Pinball and Gaming Machines
Pinball machines have their roots from the parlour bagatelle table, patented in the early 1870's. The earliest version of the actual machine was introduced more than 60 years after, in 1932. Players of all ages take to the art, technology, and sportsmanship the device promotes. But, for a time, it has been banned in the United States, its country of origin, because of safety concerns.
Gaming machines have been around since the early 1900's. To this day, they are still a hit with arcade, casino, and pub goers.
Space and Arcade Games
Japanese companies such as Atari and Taito released the earliest space games in the 1980's. Played in arcades, they paved the way for the first versions of simulation games and consoles. When video games became increasingly popular in the 1990's, their sales fell. But, the release of Konami's Dance Dance Revolution in 1999 gave them a new lease on life.
Gaming Consoles
Sony and Nintendo are the makers of some of the most iconic game characters. As video games took the world by storm, gaming devices became closer to homes, literally, as they came in the form of consoles and portable players.
In the past decade, Sony's PlayStation and Nintendo's Wii and DS were the highest-selling gaming devices. Last year, the latest version of the PlayStation was the top gaming console.
Mobile and Virtual Reality
With the rise of smartphones comes the rise of mobile games. As they take over the mobile market, game developers shift the focus from consoles to phones, designing interfaces that suit the platform. The games with the most downloads in recent years are the ones for mobile.
Moving forward, tech enthusiasts say that the future of gaming may be virtual reality devices. Google and Facebook have begun investing on them in the past two years, and if predictions hold true, this will take the gaming experience to a whole new level.
These are the game-changing devices that changed and will continue to change the industry. Because of them, the game continues to change for gaming.

2 c. milk
1 c. sugar
2 (.25 oz.) envelopes unflavored gelatin
3 3/4 c. hot water, divided
2 c. sour cream
1 T. vanilla
1 (3 oz.) pkg. lime gelatin
1 (3 oz.) pkg. orange gelatin
1 (3 oz.) pkg. lemon gelatin
1 (3 oz.) pkg. strawberry gelatin
3 c. ice cubes, divided
Bring the milk to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the sugar. Mix the plain gelatin with
3/4 c. of the hot water. Let set for 5 minutes. Add the gelatin mixture to the milk mixture and let set until
lukewarm. Mix the sour cream and vanilla into the milk mixture. Divide the milk mixture evenly into 3 bowls.
Keep this mixture out at room temperature so it will be ready for each layer. Make the lime gelatin using 3/4 c. of
hot water, then adding 3/4 c. of ice cubes, stirring until the ice cubes have completely melted. Pour the lime gelatin
mixture into a large cake pan. Refrigerate until set. Pour 1 bowl of the white mixture on top of the lime layer;
refrigerate until set. Repeat with the remaining gelatins, using 3/4 c. hot water and 3/4 c. ice cubes to make each,
and layering 1 bowl of the white mixture between each colored mixture, ending with the strawberry gelatin on top (so the layers
will be, starting at the bottom, lime, white, orange, white, lemon, white, and strawberry). This process will take at
least 4 hours. Make each gelatin mixture when you are ready to put the layer on the salad. Keep the white mixture
at room temperature until you have used each bowl. Each layer will be about 1/4-inch thick. (This makes a nice
Christmas salad - it looks like ribbon candy when cut and served.)

A beautiful epic fantasy tale for the fantasy lover squeal.
Banished. Cast out. Powerless. Y'keta is exiled to the small village of Esquialt as his father's punishment for his rebellious spirit. Village tradition gives him one Cycle, from spring to spring, to earn the right to stay.
The villagers have a legend about mighty beings called the Waki'tani, mythical lords of the wind and lightning who can shapeshift into human form. Y'keta knows the truth behind these stories. Could there be more to them than just tales shared around the campfire?
If Y'keta reveals what he knows to the villagers, it will tear their history and traditions apart…but sharing his secrets may be their only hope for survival when Esquialt is threatened by the brutal, ferociously destructive Utlaak.
Loosely based on the Thunderbird of North American legend, Y'keta is an epic fantasy set in an ancient world where legends walk and the Sky Road offers a way to the stars.

Metadata of research data
Capturing information on the data itself, the so-called "metadata", right from the start of the project is important : who collected the data, where, when, what kind of data, subjects, etc. If you want to share your data with others, or reuse it later on, you would do well to record this information in a standardized way.
- A widely used standard for metadata is Dublin Core. Some disciplines have their own standards: overview via Digital Curation Centre.
In order to reuse the data one might need to describe the data more extensively in addition to standard metadata: to elucidate the correlation between data sets, to describe the method and circumstances under which the data were collected or to add the notebook or code book. It can also be necessary to archive the software used. All these documents are archived with the data.

2. don't ask for or meyuruh others to click on your Adsense ads
Never, ever told others to click on ads on your blog, because google is very sophisticated and can find out where the original and click where the fraudulent clicks. So don't ever fool/mangakali system of Google.
3. do not put ads on inappropriate content
Google banned Adsense ads on blogs are sites related to illegal content such as pornography, content about gambling, booze, acts of violence, the content about the bootleg (pirated software, movies and music) and other illegal content.

PM Essence
Enhance Quality Volunteering Experience – The ISO way
By - Lt. Col. L. Shri Harsha (Retd.), PgMP, PMP
The ISO 9001: 2008 certification of the Chapter is a great opportunity to enhance the volunteering experience with the Chapter. Prior experiences of ISO practices at the work place would definitely influence one to think that it is going to be a process driven place with lots of documentation to complete, a demanding system, which one would like to avoid. I tend to look at it from a different perspective – a basket of opportunities waiting to be explored and experimented with..
A lot of ground work has been successfully done by the experienced volunteers in preparing for the certification audit, resulting in many routine activities of the Chapter being reasonably well documented. Correctly leveraged by the Chapter members, the procedures and manuals prepared by the core team will definitely enable smoother functioning in various volunteer roles. When a new volunteer comes on-board, in whatever role, inducting them into that role will be that much easier. No more apprehensions on things going wrong due to lack of guidance, trial or error methods and reinventing the wheel time and again.
While the current systems put in place serves as a basic framework, there is ample scope for the volunteers to contribute to improve the entire system. Channelizing experiences, recommendations for exceptions and non-standardized activities can be captured in the form of feedbacks, which can then be incorporated into the procedures and manuals. In fact, this will create a window to experience the route one can take to become a contributor to the next edition of the PMBOK. Imagine the pride when your name figures at the end of the book!!!! Wow!!!!
Though documentation is an inevitable and integral part of the system, providing feedback on the existing procedures and manuals with the constructive and improvement objective in mind is no easy task. It challenges your intellect, polishes your written communication skills and the art of articulating your thoughts. The extra, mileage which one can think off straight away, with the National Conference further in the year, is bench marking your written skills with a technical paper submission and of course simplify the PDU collections efforts.
And the icing on the cake, you are a part of "The Bangalore India Chapter", the first and only one in India to be certified as an ISO 9001: 2008 compliant Chapter. So go ahead, take pride, and partner with the Chapter in charting a brighter future. Volunteer confidently, experiment with opportunities to enhance your own skills and grow professionally. "Happy Volunteering".

Fog Vehicular Computing: Augmentation of Fog Computing Using Vehicular Cloud Computing
Fog computing has emerged as a promising solution for accommodating the surge of mobile traffic and reducing latency, both known to be inherent problems of cloud computing. Fog services, including computation, storage, and networking, are hosted in the vicinity of end users (edge of the network), and, as a result, reliable access is provisioned to delay-sensitive mobile applications. However, in some cases, the fog computing capacity is overwhelmed by the growing number of demands from patrons, particularly during peak hours, and this can subsequently result in acute performance degradation. In this article, we address this problem by proposing a new concept called fog vehicular computing (FVC) to augment the computation and storage power of fog computing. We also design a comprehensive architecture for FVC and present a number of salient applications. The result of implementation clearly shows the effectiveness of the proposed architecture. Finally, some open issues and envisioned directions are discussed for future research in the context of FVC.

"Where yer at?" Kitchenette Lorene might greet you with when in New Orleans. Your reply? "Aw-rite." (Basically it is "How are you" and "Fine thanks".)
What do you think about when we say "New Orleans"?
I think of great music like Jazz and Dixieland, cobblestone streets, the French Quarter, and, of course, lots of seafood.
As a kid, I had the privilege of spending a few days there over a Fourth of July weekend. The music, culture, and food were intoxicating.
Skip ahead to a couple of years ago, when I stumbled across this easy and tasty recipe. As always, I have modified the original to make it my own.
Oven Baked Shrimp a la New Orleans – with a Kitchenette Twist
- 20 lg. or extra lg. raw shrimp with shell on or a bag of small raw peeled shrimp
1-2 large cloves garlic fine chop
- turmeric
- dried or fresh (chopped fine) parsley
- Paprika
Few grinds black pepper
2 tbsp canola oil (or grape seed oil)
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 ½ – 2 tbsp butter (cut into little cubes)
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
- Wash shrimp well and drain.
- Chop garlic and let sit for 5-10 minutes. (Waiting 5-10 minutes allows the health-promoting allicin to form. If you do not let it sit, allicin is never formed, so it is worth the wait.)
- Measure out oil into measuring cup.
- Add garlic to oil.

Local Obituaries
Sacramento budget analyst known for charity work dies at 37
The enduring memory that many have of John Silva is of a guy singing and dancing.
It may have been while playing his guitar with a band or while hanging out with his many friends in a neighborhood bar. Patrick Harbison, one of Silva's closest friends since the pair met at Christian Brothers High School more than 20 years ago, will hold onto a vision of Silva riding in a car, "the windows down and the radio blasting."
Silva died suddenly on Sept. 4 at the age of 37. An autopsy will determine his cause of death.
Professionally, Silva will be remembered as a student of public finance. For about the past two years, he was the independent budget analyst for the city of Sacramento, tasked with examining City Hall's annual spending plans and giving its elected officials advice. Before that, Silva was a senior budget analyst with the state Department of Finance.
The City Council adjourned its meeting last week in Silva's honor. Councilwoman Angelique Ashby recalled Silva's enthusiastic personality as she displayed a photo taken of Silva on a recent spontaneous trip with friends to sample the food of Mexico City.
"He was so excited to be hired by the city of Sacramento," Ashby said, noting Silva was a Sacramento native who wore purple ties the days of Kings games. "It's so tragic to lose him so early."
Silva grew up in Greenhaven and graduated from Christian Brothers in 1998. He would go on to lead the school's alumni board and organize its annual wine tasting fundraiser multiple times, helping to raise $100,000 for tuition assistance in a single night.
His charitable work was extensive. He participated in WEAVE's annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes fundraiser five times and was a regular at events benefiting local nonprofit organizations.
Silva was a "Big Brother" for Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Greater Sacramento Area, mentoring the same young man the past eight years – among the longest Big Brother tenures in the local chapter's history.
"John lit up the space in which he occupied, quickly becoming a favorite friend and respected confidant to many in the community that were blessed to meet him," said Theresa Scherber, CEO of the local Big Brothers Big Sisters chapter. "To John's little brother, Matthew, John was truly everything."
Silva had a way with people, regardless of age. Rick Pires, a fellow Christian Brothers alum, met Silva about a decade ago. They quickly became close friends – despite Pires' 19-year age advantage.
"He always had time to help someone out," Pires said. "Everyone called on him and he never said 'no.' And he always found time to make people feel special. In a lot of ways, John was my mentor."
"You could always rely on him to be there," added Harbison. "He was hilarious and charismatic and funny. And he always gave the best hugs."
Silva was a UC Davis graduate. He loved his pets: his dogs Cheney and Maddux, and his cat, Walter. He was also "very proud of his Portuguese heritage," said his wife, Samantha Pellon, and was thrilled when the couple visited Portugal in 2014, stopping in at the famed House of Sandeman port cellars.
A wake will be held for Silva at deVere's Irish Pub on L Street in downtown Sacramento on Sept. 22 from 5 to 7 p.m. Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. on Sept. 22 at East Lawn Elk Grove.
Silva is survived by Pellon, his parents, Donald and Debby Silva, his sister, Jennifer Silva, two nieces and a nephew.

In America, everything is bigger and better! / Christopher Morphew
The United States are often seen as the envy of the world, given its high number of so-called world-class universities, like Yale, Harvard and MIT. What one often forgets is the high level of diversity with – indeed – top institutions, but also a considerable number of what we – from a European perspective – would term mediocre institutions. The aim of the lecture was to address the key policy themes and challenges of US higher education and possibly debunk some persistent myths about the US system.

Fire Reignites At Terrigal House
Crews on scene.
UPDATE 6:30AM: Fire crews have this morning returned to a home destroyed by flames in Terrigal, after it's flared up again.
Two trucks from Terrigal and Kincumber have been out at Wilson Road since 4:30am, and got the flames out again after about 90 minutes hosing down the front and inside of the structure.
Yesterday's inferno saw crews decontaminated for asbestos.
YESTERDAY: Firies are investigating what caused a blaze on Terrigal's Wilson Road this morning, across from the carpark, that's destroyed a single-storey house.
The fire started just before 10 and four crews took less than an hour to get it out and prevent it from spreading to other properties.
They've closed the road while salvaging and decontamination takes place - Inspector Mark Delves says firies have had to be contaminated for asbestos after the inferno spread through the roof.
It looks like no one's been injured. Inspector Delves says the property's a rental, and that the tenants left at 8 this morning. One of them has now returned.
While there are reports people nearby have rescued the owner's pets.

We begin a series of Leadership blogs focused on business growth and in particular on Sales development. The blog is provided by our friend and long-time mentor Paul Streeter.
'I am often asked this question and I think it should be changed to "what does an effective sales team sound like?" That's easier to answer. I'm in a sales office at 08:00 in the morning and it's noisy. Sales executives are making sales calls, they're on headsets and gesticulating as they walk around.
Others are energetically planning the morning's calls and discussing the goals for today. Another group are reviewing yesterday's objections and how they intend to respond. I can hear the usual banter, gossip and jokes mixed in with enthusiastic sales conversations. I can feel motivation and self-belief in the air and hear loud applause when sales figures are marked up on the whiteboard.
The trick is to maintain this for the whole day and then do it all again tomorrow. And the next day… So what has to be done to achieve this?
One, recruit the right sales people. Or hire the right people who demonstrate a capability for professional sales.
Two, create an environment for them to flourish and grow. Praise them when they're successful, coach them when they're not. Three, appoint the right sales managers to establish a positive atmosphere where people believe they can not only achieve but exceed target. Sales people need to encourage, enthuse and excite the prospect. Sales managers need to do exactly the same for the sales team.
Four, design and deliver the right training to support the skills platform for the sales team to deliver revenue and profit. Short burst sessions focussing on a topic for an hour. Role play workshops with feedback and coaching. Follow up discussions to check application and results. Little and often so that constant development becomes the norm.
Sales training improves performance which in turn improves revenue and profit. And we know what revenue generation and profit creation sounds like…'

Critical to optimizing automated e-commerce and omni-channel fulfillment centers' waveless order processing operations and overcoming labor shortages
It may sound counterintuitive, but the key to ensuring both maximum performance and return on investment from a fully automated e-commerce or omni-channel fulfillment center attempting true waveless order processing is a labor management system (LMS). Not just any LMS, however, but an automated labor management system.
The most effective Automated LMS are engineered specifically for automated systems that execute waveless order processing. Designed purposely to interface with a warehouse management system (WMS), warehouse control system (WCS) and/or warehouse execution system (WES), these Automated LMS drive the highest throughput, quality and efficiency.
Further, Automated LMS continuously analyze and interpret data inputs from the entire system—from receiving, to storage and putaway, to replenishment, to picking, to packout and shipping—in order to properly allocate valuable labor resources to the right place at the right time. This functionality ensures that automated sub-systems are fully utilized, and that the throughput levels demonstrated in testing prior to final commissioning are also achieved in actual automated system operation.
But why implement an Automated LMS within a fully automated order fulfillment center at all? To answer that, let's first take a quick look at the challenges faced by e-commerce and omni-channel retailers who are currently investing multiple millions of dollars into automated warehousing and fulfillment systems.

NBC's crime drama TV series Blindspot's actor, Audrey Esparza has been gaining huge fans and followers lately. Because of her immense beauty and talent, a lot of men have an eye on her.
If you are one of her fans, you will be more than happy to know that Esparza is single as she doesn't have a boyfriend at present. Let's find out more about this beauty.
Audrey Esparza and boyfriend Sullivan Stapleton's relationship
Latin Audrey, who is rising in fame lately seems to keep her personal and professional life at a huge distance. Even her social networking sites don't show much about her personal life. However, her Instagram posts have a face that has been repeated few times.
He is no one other than Blindspot's lead, Sullivan Stapleton. But it doesn't seem like there is anything cooking between Esparza and Stapleton. Moreover, they seem like 'just' good friends but nothing more than that.
TONIGHT I will be at the bar with @sullygram77 serving drinks. Come join us, and tons of other familiar faces to support @stockingswithcare. Buy a ticket on their website, or donate. Your kindness will brighten this holiday season for a family in need. My specialty is beer, all things served neat or on the rocks. I'd be happy to get you a water or soda. All fancy cocktail orders should be directed to the handsome Australian. Help us get the word out, repost if you can x #GIVE #drinkforagoodcause #blindspot
Well, in case they really are in a relationship, we hope they some day open about it.
Audrey Esparza gaining fame as an FBI agent
Esparza's series, 'Blindspot' made her gain much fame. It has not been long since the series aired its first season on 21st September 2015. Esparza is a special FBI agent in the series whose name is Natasha 'Tasha' Zapata. Esparza seems to enjoy her role very much. During an interview, she said: "I feel like I'm working with one of the coolest teams on television right now.
As a working actor, I'm somebody that's inspired to be a working actor. I have a call time. To know every night that I get to wake up and do exactly what I've always wanted to do is the most exciting part whenever I have a job. It seems to be a little ongoing; it's crazy and exciting, and I feel lucky every day I get to do it.
Image: Audrey Esparza
Besides Blindspot, Esparza has also appeared in 'Floating Sunflowers' in 2014 and 'Amateurs' in 2013.
Audrey Esparza has no time to date
It seems like the rising star Esparza did not have a boyfriend or love affairs in the past. She doesn't seem to be interested in dating at the moment, as she appears to be more focused on her career. Recently, Esparza finished a TNT show called 'Public Morals'.
During the same interview, Esparza was asked about her other projects, she said: 'I just finished " Public Morals" which just started airing about two weeks ago. That one was so much fun. It was a lifelong dream to get to work with Ed Burns. He's smart, kind, and as talented as he is a character. That was so much fun, and the character like I told you is so much different from Tasha'.

We wish this beauty more success in coming days. We also would like to see her being tied in a romantic love affair and get married to the lucky as well. For now, all we can do it wait.

On our way back from Texas, we decided to spend the night in New Mexico and then visit Megan near Phoenix the next afternoon. Our kids did so amazing in the car (and QP napped 4 hours straight midday) that we pushed through--meaning Fox drove 1,080 miles in a day--15 hours of driving with 3 stops--Dallas straight to Phoenix. Thank you, my children, for being such road warriors!!
And of course thank you, my husband, for being such an excellent driver!
I was so excited to have more time in Gilbert with my sweet sister Meg and her cute family! Fox had never visited before, so we were on a mission to get him to love it. Happy to say that he looooves it now :)
Josh pretty much summed it up when he said, "Arizona is great. The neighborhood is great. The downside? Oh, it's...you know...hotter than death." But perfect in January! We love you Abbotts and hope to see you again soon!

Mercedes has released details of the facelifted C-Class, due to be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March, and while its exterior shows only minor changes it also inherits some fancy convenience and driver assistance technologies from the bigger E and S-Classes.
The updates apply to both sedan and estate models, which now both feature redesigned head and tail light units. As before, headlights come as standard with halogen illumination but LED running lights are standard in all models. These can be upgraded to full LED lamps on request, or, for the first time on a C-Class, Multibeam LEDs with Ultra Range high beams.
The Multibeam lights use 84 individually controlled globes to shape the beam for given situations such as oncoming traffic, changing weather or when turning. Merc says its Ultra Range high beams produce the maximum amount of light allowed legally, but can only be used when no other road users are detected, the steering wheel is straight, and the speed is above 40km/h.
All derivatives get new front bumpers with either silver, chrome or three-part chrome trim strips for Standard, Avantgarde and Exclusive trim lines respectively, while the sportiest AMG-Line now gets a diamond grille as standard. Rear bumpers have also been reshaped with model-specific lower sections and tailpipe trims.
New options for dash and console trims include open-pore brown walnut or anthracite oak, and interior colour choices have been expanded with magma grey/black or saddle brown for the AMG Line exclusively.
The C's steering wheel inherits the Blackberry-like touch-sensitive thumb pads from the E and S, and cruise control functionality has moved from a stalk to the wheel itself. The centre console touch controller has been upgraded with haptic click feedback, but users can also control vehicle systems with Merc's recently upgraded Linguatronic voice control.
As in the recently-updated S-Class, a new optional Energising Comfort Control package uses climate control, seats, interior lighting and the audio system to uplift drivers' moods with special fragrances, massages and music presets. There's also a new Multicontour Seat package with pneumatically adjustable side bolsters and lumbar support.
The C's standard driver assistance functions have been tweaked with newly-developed Active Lane Change and Emergency Stop Assist systems, and the optional Distronic cruise control now uses GPS map data to predictively adjust speeds when approaching bends, intersections or roundabouts. An improved camera system allows the car to "see" up to 500m ahead, while updated radars scan 250m to the front, 40m to the side and 80m to the rear. Mercedes says the new C-Class can drive semi-autonomously in certain situations, but hasn't elaborated on system parameters yet.
The most visible change, however, is in the instrument cluster which can now be specced as a fully digital 31.2cm screen with customisable Classic, Sport and Progressive background graphics. Here it's also possible to view navigation maps and dedicated Eco displays to help drivers save a bit of fuel. A standard cluster still uses analogue gauges with a smaller 14cm colour multifunction screen at its centre.
The central infotainment display is as before available with a 17.8cm colour screen, but this can now be upgraded to a bigger 26cm unit optionally. This display also comes with three customisable background styles.
Power hike
Mercedes-Benz South Africa can't yet confirm engine upgrades, but we suspect the C300 will be boosted from 180kW to 190 as per international specification while torque stays the same at 370Nm. The C200 is also expected to a slight power hike as part of the brand's move to EQ Boost mild hybrid drive systems, but we can't yet say what new outputs will be. The C220d will also likely get a slight upgrade in power.
The updated C-Class will be on sale in South Africa toward the end of June or early in July.

NBC Universal expanding Asia rollout
EmptySINGAPORE -- NBC Universal is planning a major rollout in Asia in 2008, starting in January with the KidsCo channel on SkyCable Philippines, said Raymund Miranda, managing director Asia, Global Networks, NBC Universal.
Miranda, who was confirmed Friday as leader of the integrated Global Networks' operations in Asia, following NBC Universal's acquisition of Sparrowhawk Media in October, told The Hollywood Reporter during the weekend that his immediate priorities, "in no order of importance," are to make sure Hallmark continues to meet its targets, to launch KidsCo in other key Asian markets in the first quarter, and to launch Sci Fi and Universal in the region in the second quarter of 2008.
"In 2008, both the Hallmark Channel and KidsCo, which is a joint venture with Nelvana and DIC, have some very aggressive targets, which we are hoping will continue and will be met post the integration," he said.
While Hallmark is available in 21 countries in the region reaching 23 million households, Miranda is hoping to "expand its presence to new countries and deepen the penetration in existing ones as required."
"There's obviously a lot of upside that can be had from an ad revenues perspective," he said. Hallmark is not yet present in two key Asian markets: Taiwan and India.
Deals already are in place for a full rollout of KidsCo in the region in the first quarter, said Miranda, who offered no further details.
Sci Fi will first be launched in Japan in April and in other markets later in the second quarter. "Over the next couple of weeks, we will begin to firm up our plans for Sci Fi and Universal channels. We're aiming for a second-quarter launch period for both," he said.

I enjoyed "X-Men: First Class," but to be honest I'm not impressed.
I must point out that it is this franchise we have to thank for the last decade's numbing proliferation of comic-book superhero movies. Accordingly, I think that we should hold it to a higher standard. And so, like Charles Xavier scolding his first colloquium after a spate of adolescent superhuman rowdiness leaves the house a mess, I expect more.
What I want is simple. I want all superheroes finally together in one movie. I think it is time. And I mean all of them. With at least one good trick and one good one-liner apiece.
If anyone could make that happen, it'd be the dauntless "X-Men: First Class" director Matthew Vaughn and his mighty screenwriting team, whose collective credits also include "Kick-Ass," "Thor," the first two "X-Men" films and even, if IMDb is to be believed, a "production polish" of "Snakes on a Plane."
"X-Men: First Class" has some artificial flavors — corn, cheese, Kevin Bacon bits — but also some natural advantages in James McAvoy as the learned telepath Xavier, later Professor X, and Michael Fassbender as his tormented friend Erik Lehnsherr, later Magneto. Jennifer Lawrence, as the reluctant shapeshifter Raven, later Mystique, tags along for comely companionship and cliché mitigation.
It's fun to see a randy Xavier hitting on pre-mod Oxford birds, working his innate nobility and genius gene theory, while Lehnsherr extracts information and dental fillings in order to go suavely about hunting down hidden Nazis. And it would be fine to spend the whole movie with just these two wily Brits, each well adapted to the Ian Fleming-style espionage thriller already under way and presided over by Rose Byrne's CIA agent, who sets a tone early on by stripping down to lingerie in her very first scene.
But of course we have a class to assemble, and the professor's and Magneto's competing styles of tutelage to discern. We have subplots and sub-characters and new franchise trajectories to establish, mutant superpowers to demonstrate (prehensile toes, dragonfly wings, weird fiery hula hoops) and January Jones' already baffling career to further enable. (Yes, she's the one said to be made of diamond.)
The 1960s setting does clarify the movie's top priorities: apocalyptic brinksmanship and groovy clothes. Sure the Cuban Missile Crisis is a nice touch, but there was also that whole Civil Rights thing going on, which should matter to the mutants. If this world has room for Magneto and Professor X, it also should have room for Martin Luther King and Malcolm X.
Not to mention other superheroes. I say why not just bring 'em all on? I am talking about a total prequel-reboot-crossover-ganza. All the Marvel guys, all the DC guys, all the other guys. And gals. X-Men, Avengers, Justice League, Watchmen! Masters of the Universe, ThunderCats, Transformers, Herculoids! Xena, Barbarella, Lara Croft, Aeon Flux! Hellboy, Hancock, Darkman, Green Hornet! Hell, let's even add the Greatest American Hero, the Toxic Avenger, Meteor Man, Pluto Nash! Anybody. Everybody. Then get Neo from "The Matrix" to show up and go, "Whoa," and we all go home. Totally doable, amirite?
"X-Men: First Class" doesn't disappoint exactly, but it doesn't raise the bar either. For all its restless recombinations of allies and opponents, it only stokes our hope for a superhero movie to end all superhero movies. Well, the season is still young.

Lumira 80hr Glass Candle in Cuban Tobacco
Sold OutAsk us a question

Stroll through backstreets of beautiful decay, where a colourful patina blankets the old buildings and tabaquerías emanate an air of sweet earthiness. A favourite with men and women alike, the Cuban Tobacco candle opens with vibrant, rich notes of tangerine, cardamom and clove bud before mellowing to an intoxicating base of rich tobacco, patchouli, vanilla and musk. An ideal frangrance to warm any space.

(picture of Michael Weisse)
"Forever, O Lord, Thy word is settled in heaven" (Psalm 119:89)
INTRO.: A hymn which speaks about the eternal nature of God's word is "Lord, Thy Word Abideth" (#631 in Hymns for Worship Revised). The text was written by Henry Williams Baker (1821-1877). It first appeared in the 1861 edition of Hymns Ancient and Modern, for which he served as the chairman of the committee which compiled it. The tune (Ravenshaw) was adapted from a medieval melody (Gottes Sohn Ist Kommen) found in Ein Neu Gesengbuchlen edited by Michael Weisse, who was born around 1480 or 1488 at Neisse, Silesia (now Nysa, Poland), and attended the Pfarrgymnasium (pastoral school) there. Educated for the Roman Catholic priesthood, he studied at the Jagiellonian University of Cracow from 1504 and became a Franciscan monk for a while in Breslau (now Wrocław, Poland) in 1510. However, he and a couple of his colleagues, Johannes Zeising and Johann Mönch, were influenced by the writings of Martin Luther (1483-1546).
As a result Weisse and his two friends were expelled from Breslau around 1517. Leaving the Roman Catholic Church in 1518, they were admitted to the house of the Bohemian Brethren or Unitas Fratrum at Leutomischl in Bohemia (now Litomyšl, Czech Republic). This group, followers of reformer Jan Hus, was called by their enemies Piccards (Beggars) and later were known as Moravians. They allied themselves in Reformation times with Luther. In 1522, Weisse was sent as part of a delegation to Wittenberg, to compare the Brethren's creed with that of Martin Luther and check for points of difference in doctrine. In 1531, Weisse was ordained as a priest of the Unitas Fratrum or Unity of the Brethren by a synod in Brandeis, and at the same time made Prediger (preacher) and Vorsteher (leader) of the German congregations of Brethren at Landskron in Bohemia and Fulnek in Moravia. Also that year, he published his hymnal for the Brethren, Ein Neu Gesengbuchlein (A new little hymnal), also known as Ave Hierarchia, at Jungbunzlau.
This was the first hymnal for the Brethren in the German language. It contained 157 hymns, 137 written, translated, or otherwise adapted by Weisse, for which he partially composed some music himself but mostly used melodies from the Bohemian tradition of the Brethren. Then the most extensive Protestant hymnal, it influenced other collections and was the first hymnal structured by topics. One of his hymns ("Christus, der uns selig macht") was used in Johann Sebastian Bach's St John Passion, Part II, third scene. Weisse, who joined the Unity's Inner Council in 1532, died of food poisoning at Landskron, Bohemia (now the Czech Republic), on March 19, 1534, or possibly 1540. The melody, which is often attributed to Weisse, was arranged for Williams's text in the 1861 Hymns Ancient and Modern by the music editor William Henry Monk (1823-1889). Other tunes used with the hymn include St. Cyprian Chope by Richard R. Chope in 1862, and Goetchius by Joseph Maclean in 1901. Among hymnbooks published by members of the Lord's church for use in churches of Christ, the song is also found in the 2012 Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs edited by Steve Wolfgang et. al., in addition to Hymns for Worship.
The song points out the importance of God's eternal word to our lives.
I. Stanza 1 tells us that God's word will guide our footsteps
Lord, Thy Word abideth,
And our footsteps guideth;
Who its truth believeth
Light and joy receiveth.
A. God's word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our pathway: Ps. 119:105
B. The reason is that it is the truth that will make us free: Jn. 8:32
C. As such it not only gives light but brings joy: Acts 8:4-8
II. Stanza 2 tells us that God's word will cheer us in our tribulations
When our foes are near us,
Then Thy Word doth cheer us,
Word of consolation,
Message of salvation.
A. Those who wish to live right will find cheer or delight in God's word: Ps. 1:1-2
B It offers consolation to those who are suffering: 2 Cor. 1:3-7
C. But most importantly it reveals the message of salvation: Eph. 1:13-14
III. Stanza 3 tells us that God's word will protect us in the storms of life
When dark clouds are o'er us,
And the storms before us,
Then its light directeth,
And our way protecteth.
A. The greatest storm is the fight against sin, and God's word will help us not to sin: Ps. 119:11
B. It will direct us in times of temptation: 1 Cor. 10:13
C. And it will protect us from the evil one: Eph. 6:14-16
IV. Stanza 4 (not in HFWR) tells us that God's word will impart treasure
Who can tell the pleasure,
Who recount the treasure,
By Thy Word imparted
To the simple hearted?
A. The testimony of God's word is sure, making the simple wise, and is thus more to be desired than gold: Ps. 19:7-10
B. It is like a pearl of great price: Matt. 13:45-46
C. Therefore, it will enable us to lay up treasure in heaven: Matt. 6:19-20
V. Stanza 5 (also not in HFWR) tells us that God's word provides for the needs of both living and dying
Word of mercy, giving
Succor to the living;
Word of life, supplying
Comfort to the dying!
A. God's word makes known His mercy: Ps. 138:7-8
B. It gives succor to the living because Jesus came to bring life: Jn. 10:10
C. And it gives comfort to those who are dying in the Lord: Rev. 14:13
VI. Stanza 6 (#4 in HFWR) tells us that God's word will lead us to be with the Lord evermore
O that we, discerning
Its most holy learning,
Lord, may love and fear Thee,
Evermore be near Thee!
A. God as our Shepherd wants us to dwell in His house forevermore: Ps. 23:1-6
B. But to do so, we must first discern or understand His will—how?: Eph. 3:3-5
C. Then we must love and fear Him by keeping His commandments: Eccl. 12:13-14, 1 Jn. 5:3
CONCL.: The God of the universe has spoken to mankind. He revealed His will for us today through His Son who sent the Holy Spirit to guide inspired apostles and prophets in producing the written word which contains God's message for the whole world. This word of God has been preserved since then and will continue to the end of time. Thus, we can praise Him for His revelation, saying, "Lord, Thy Word Abideth."

Mike Cazzola has only been a Fife Flyer for a few weeks, but he has seen enough to know that he wants to stay with the club for more than one season.
The 27-year-old Canadian is back enjoying his hockey again after enduring a turbulent year with Edinburgh Capitals, so much so that he already eyeing a long-term future in Kirkcaldy.
"It's nice and refreshing," Cazzola told the Press.
"I'm coming to the rink and having fun again and it's been a full year since that happened.
"Every time I get on the ice I'm a little bit more appreciative now of how quick it can slip past.
"I'm just trying to enjoy every moment while I'm here."
Cazzola is combining his hockey with a Masters degree in physiotherapy at Queen Margaret University, which helped him escape from the troubles at Capitals last season.
"It was tough, but I went to Edinburgh on a two-year contract and I wanted to show the fans I was loyal and wasn't going to leave halfway through," he said.
"I wanted to show my commitment so I would have stayed, but things didn't work out, I've moved on with Fife, and now I want to prove to the fans here that I'll be here for a long time.
"I don't want to be here for one season and move on.
"I like to find my home and settle in, and hopefully win some fans over."
Cazzola admitted that it is strange not seeing his former club in the EIHL this season following their failure to secure ice time at Murrayfield.
"I think it will sink in once we're a quarter of the way through and we haven't played in that rink," he said.
"I think the fans in Edinburgh deserve the team to make a comeback.
"Even after we had a couple of losing streaks they still came out every night and got loud whenever we gave them a reason too. They deserve a team to support."

Cazzola was speaking after making his mark on the opening weekend of the season with the dramatic game-tying goal in the final second of Saturday's third period against Glasgow Clan.
Fife went on to claim a 5-4 victory on penalty shots, and Cazolla was left enthralled by his first taste of the rivalry between the clubs.
"It was amazing," he said. "They told me it would be loud, but I didn't realise it would be that loud. It was a nice way for us to tie it up in the last second of the game.
"Finucci did the brunt of the work in front, the puck just squeaked out on its feet and I was fortunate enough to put it in."
Flyers failed to replicate their form on Sunday as they were second best to a Belfast Giants side which claimed a fully deserved 3-1 victory.
"We just got away from the game plan," Cazzola admitted.
"In the first and second periods against Glasgow we were chipping pucks in, and gaining possession in their zone.
"Against Belfast we struggled to do that. We were trying to chip pucks in and they were breaking out straight away.
"We weren't putting them under enough pressure or getting enough zone time on offence, so it ruined the flow of our game and our identity.
"We tried getting back to it in the third period, but we can't rely on these comebacks every game.
"We need to make sure we play the same way consistently for 60 minutes and that's something we've addressed this week and try to implement going forward."

Inner-circle friends. That's all.But earlier in the week people knew something was up when he retired his blog, "The Baz File," without so much as a word of explanation minus a cryptic goodbye note on Monday that spoke of an "Arab spring" and read, in part, "The blog may be retiring, but the fierce pursuit of freedom and democracy surely will not." (See the full post after the jump…)It was Yahoo! News's Laura Rozen who broke the news on Twitter late Thursday, saying, "Congrats to @bazmaniandevil who has taken a job covering gov't/politics with Kiplinger's!"Bazinet's political reporting career has spanned the past two decades. For the past few months, he has been an on-air correspondent and political analyst with the Talk Radio News Service. Before that he was a White House Correspondent for 18 years, starting off with UPI and winding up at the New York Daily News.Congratulations to Bazinet.Retiring A Blog Born Out Of The Arab SpringWhen this blog was launched it actually filled a void for a while. Few Washington-based bloggers were paying attention to the freedom uprisings on the Arab Street.That has changed.In the past few months the story moved to the front pages and the top of the newscasts. The phrase Arab Spring is standard today in the American lexicon.The fall of Gadhafi, free elections in Tunisia and exciting new opportunities present a grand point in the experiment to step aside as an enlightened observer and pursue new challenges and responsibilities. The blog may be retiring, but the fierce pursuit of freedom and democracy surely will not.Thank you all for your support. Sharehttp://adweek.it/2jJqsiG copyRecommended articles Adweek Adweek

Year of Consecrated Life
Do you know that throughout the world the Catholic Church is celebrating the Year of Consecrated Life? Pope Francis wrote a message to all people inviting them "to experience this Year above all as a moment of thanksgiving to the Lord and grateful remembrance for all the gifts we continue to receive". In his message he shares the aims and expectations of this grace-filled time.
I decided to proclaim a Year of Consecrated Life on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church Lumen Gentium, which speaks of religious in its sixth chapter, and of the Decree Perfectae Caritatis on the renewal of religious life. The Year will begin on 30 November 2014, the First Sunday of Advent, and conclude with the Feast of the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple on 2 February 2016.
[...] I have chosen as the aims of this Year the same ones which Saint John Paul II proposed to the whole Church at the beginning of the third millennium, reiterating, in a certain sense, what he had earlier written in the Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation Vita Consecrata: "You have not only a glorious history to remember and to recount, but also a great history still to be accomplished! Look to the future, where the Spirit is sending you in order to do even greater things" (No. 110).
In this post I will give you an overview of how we are celebrating this Year, making our life more known and understood to the general public, and most importantly, how we hope to deepen our personal consecration to Jesus our Crucified Bridegroom.
Our monastic community will be meeting regularly to discuss the theme of this Year of Consecrated Life using Pope Francis' message as a guide. Here is the theme:
Gratefully Remembering the Past. Embracing the Future with Hope. Living the Present Passionately.
Gratefully Remembering the Past: reflecting upon our Founder, our charism, and the lessons of our community's past.
Living the Present Passionately: communal reconciliation and our growth in virtues especially that of charity...for a life consecrated to God must lead to perfect charity.
Embracing the Future with Hope:a life of charity leads to fruits of joy, peace, mercy, new initiatives, new life!
We recently recorded some "Consecrated Life Minutes" for our Catholic Radio station WJOR. I hope to make these available once they begin airing on the radio. Thanks to one of our benefactors a new bumper sticker will soon be available advertising our radio station.
An updated Guest House brochure was printed last fall. Come stay in our Guest House and pray with us during this holy year! Keep an eye out for a future post with photos of the new brochure and more information about making a retreat here.
We had a promotional magnet created to advertise our blog. A vertical banner is also in the works to send along with our vocation materials to retreats and youth conferences. Since we are cloistered we don't attend these gatherings but this will give youth a greater visual of the joy of Passionist life.
In August our Bishop and the priests of our diocese are invited to meet with our community and learn about our hidden life of prayer in their midst. We are also submitting monthly articles for our diocesan newspaper.
Throughout this year, one of the Sisters is proposing a theme of monastic life to review and reflect upon each month. The images and themes are taken from Monastic Practices written in 1986 by Cistercian monk, Father Charles Cummings and illustrated by Cistercian nun, Sister M. Bernarda Seferovich. We love the illustrations! God-willing, I will have time to share these with you in upcoming posts.
And another profound event taking place during this sacred Year...We will be losing a postulant this week. This Friday Elizabeth will be departing at 10 a.m.
She will be no longer known as Elizabeth but as Sister ???
Yes! Elizabeth's reception of the holy habit and her new name is THIS Friday. It will be great to see a white-veiled novice walking through the corridors once again. This Friday was chosen as it is the titular feast of our Passionist Congregation - a Solemnity before the penance of Lent begins - The Solemn Commemoration of the Passion. Please keep her in prayer as she makes her 3 day retreat Tuesday through Thursday in preparation for this holy and awesome event in her gradual transformation of becoming a Passionist Nun. Hearken back here after Friday for photos of the private monastic ceremony and the announcement of the name of our new Sister-to-be!
Wake up the world! Explore a Passionist Vocation!
