There are several runs here so let's analyze them one by one.
Run 1 - ESS VT3 supercharged M3 ~690 whp
The Porsche gets a bit of a jump and due to its all wheel drive traction advantage takes an early lead. It holds off the VT3 through the run although it starts inching back. Regardless, this M3 despite being a built motor car only managed 135 in the 1/4 mile which a GIAC tuned 997.2 Turbo S is also capable of. The top end advantage goes to the M3 but the runs are not long enough for it to show.
Run 2 - Rematch with the VT3 M3
Closer start this time between the two cars and the 911 turbo takes just under a car length lead. The VT3 starts to pull up top again able to edge enough to take the win this time around. This is pretty much exactly how it should go down. The longer the race the more it favors the M3 with the shorter the race favoring the 911 Turbo.
Run 3 - Bolt on tuned GTR with ~600 whp
The 911 turbo again gets a jump. Seems to be a bit of a pattern. It opens up a lead that the GTR can not close by the end of the run where it is inching back in. It definitely has more power but loses due to the start.
Run 4- MP4-12C Spyder
The Spyder is a little heavier than the coupe but it really is a marginal difference. Jump from the 911 Turbo yet again and the MP4-12C does not not have enough top end to close the gap.
Run 5 - 996 Turbo MT with bolt ons and GIAC tune ~500 whp
No contest. Eaten alive.
Run 6 - 6MT 997.1 Turbo with ~600 whp
Another jump but it does not matter. PDK wins this race easily.
Run 7 - 997.1 Switzer built with 6MT and 800+ whp. Fastest car of the event.
997.1 does not allow the 997.2 to jump on it. Simply too big of a power disparity here, game over.
Run 8 - Gintani Stage II supercharged DCT M3
M3 just looks like it lets off.
Run 9 - Renntech tuned M157 E63 644 whp
Pretty good start on this one but PDK wins the race despite the power disparity. The E63's weight does it no favors. A longer run would likely have the E63 coming back up top but it is what it is.
Run 10 - 458 Italia stock with passenger
It just gets flat out pulled, no contest.
Run 11 - SRT8 300 with 850 whp
Horsepower just manages to win this one up top but this goes to show how down low a dual clutch can minimize a large HP advantage significantly.
Run 12 - Supra with 1002 whp
Takes a second for the Supra to get going but once it does it just pulls away up top. Win for big HP.
Run 13 - BMS Tuning F10 M5 ~640 whp
Slight early start for the 911 Turbo. The M5's DCT pays dividends though and it stays with the Turbo and begins to inch up on the top end. Race is over before the M5 can pull past. Strong showing for the F10.
Run 14 - 997.1 Turbo with full bolt ons, upgraded 68mm turbos, and meth injection ~650 all wheel horsepower
A jump for the 997.2 but the horsepower of the 997.1 Turbo takes over fairly quickly. Too big of a power disparity between the two.
Run 15 - 880whp Supra
Lag, lag, lag, spool, win.
Definitely a nice compilation here showing various outcomes and scenarios. What one should take away is that dual clutch transmissions in shorter distance roll ons where more shifting takes place are dominant. Additionally, such conditions favor a 997.2 Turbo as the lower rolling speed benefits all wheel drive traction. Overall, several good runs showing it is not always the most horsepower that wins and that it takes a large HP difference to overcome a starting deficit in a short roll on.

Term Insurance or Whole Life Insurance?
By Jonas Zamora
March 13, 2007
Jonas Zamora is a Certified Financial PlannerTM professional. You may contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com
There are two main types of insurance – term and permanent/whole life insurance. For many, term insurance is a good route because it is the least expensive life insurance. Some folks like the many bells and whistles that go with permanent insurance along with life time coverage. Of course this makes whole life insurance more costly.
Term Insurance
Term insurance is the least expensive. Benefits are payable at death as long as it occurs during the term of the policy. Coverage is purchased at a specific price for a specific period – the length of period can range usually from one year to 30 years.
If you have certain expenses that need to be paid off during a certain period, term is the way to go. Such expenses, like your mortgage or college education for children, are great examples of this. Let's say you have a 15-year mortgage and your debt is $250,000. You may consider a 15-year policy to protect your family for the amount you owe. Same thing if you have young children. Match up the amount of insurance you buy with your expected tuition bill. Keep in mind that you must adjust today's college expenses for inflation.
Remember that term insurance is inexpensive because your coverage lasts for a limited time and there is no investment component. The money you save by purchasing term instead of whole life, however, could always go into your own investment account or disability insurance.
Whole life/Permanent Insurance
Permanent or whole life insurance is more expensive and it covers you whether you die today or when you're....

Home Insurance
Over the last decade, the inflation cost of construction has far outpaced other sectors of the economy. If your homeowner insurance policy has not kept pace, you may have a coverage gap to be concerned about. Additionally, property owners create another coverage shortage by not advising their agent about additions and alteration upgrades. Most homeowner insurance policies contain clauses requiring an Insured to notify the agent and or insurance company when a renovation or addition increases the property replacement cost. The company is only obligated to pay up to the replacement cost of the documented square footage. You, as the homeowner, would have to make up the difference.

Making Regulation Work for You: How Banks Can Take Advantage of the New Rules
Regulation offers valuable business opportunities for financial services firms in 2013 and well into next year. Traders know that volatile markets offer profit possibilities that flat markets don't. Regulatory volatility also offers banks the opportunity to pull ahead of competition by meeting regulatory demands at lower costs in both manpower and executive investment.
Five years after the global financial crisis, regulators are defining the rules to implement legislation, such as the Dodd-Frank Act in the U.S. Recently, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) estimated that only half the rules required have been adopted. The process is often unpredictable because the regulators are subject to lobbying and legal action as the rules are developed. One result is a great deal of uncertainty in the face of set deadlines.
The stakes in compliance are high, as recent fines and recoveries have proven. From Washington to London to New York, regulators have shown their readiness to impose unprecedented fines on global banks. In addition to the threat of penalties, banks face possible opportunity cost if they don't have the systems and infrastructure, such as accurate reference data and Legal Entity Identifiers (LEIs) in place to support their operations
Coping with the Changes
Compliance with the new rules is expensive and time-consuming, and requires a variety of skills to fix data, systems, and processes that are often located all over the firm. Inevitably, tasks that demand cooperation from multiple silos and departments take time from executives who are already struggling to meet the changes required by regulation.
While the regulatory demands have increased – banks report that they must produce dozens or even hundreds of different reports to regulators – budgets have tightened. Leaders in developing smart compliance programs plan to replace silos of data with centralized utilities or hubs that can meet specific needs, such as client onboarding, pricing and product data set-up, document management, and swaps reconciliation.
Leveraging Investments
Regulations are expensive, so banks should look for steps they can take to meet more than one requirement, prepare for additional rules and avoid processes and technologies that may impede future compliance efforts. A key aspect here is linking data silos to a single data source that has carefully verified accuracy. With electronic records, most of this can be automated and only the exceptions require manual reviews. Where the existing records are on paper and need to be digitized, the best practice is dual teams with an auditor reviewing the work and correcting any discrepancies.
Identification data for know your customer (KYC) can be used for onboarding new clients, FATCA compliance Tax Identifier Numbers (TINs) can be linked to LEIs as they come into use. Using the same customer data in many areas saves money and also makes it vital to get the data right.
For banks, preparation for regulation is a distraction from their core business. Therefore, it is crucial for financial institutions to develop the skill sets, procedures, quality controls and workflows, including some automated workflows, to work efficiently and accurately
Putting it into Practice
Technology vendors are developing software to meet some of the new requirements, but it doesn't always work as planned, especially in complex areas like corporate actions. For several banks, it is still necessary to identify bugs in new programs and work with their vendors to fix them while correcting any mistaken results. Because of regulatory deadline pressures, some software is going into production faster than is customary. For example, each time a specific bank adds another broker to a new system it has implemented, that bank could experience 1,000 or more breaks.
One particular bank had unsuccessfully addressed an 18-month KYC backlog. The firm knew its regulator was concerned that the bank had inadequate knowledge of its trading counterparties and was monitoring the firm for compliance.
Working with a BPO vendor, the bank was able to remediate the customer information for six months to clear the backlog. Thereafter, using a custom workflow tool, a team of 40 at the vendor's site was scheduled to perform review of the entities on a cyclical basis.
Preparation for rules that have not yet been finalized adds another challenge for banks. For example, the CFTC is working on new swaps rules that will require an LEI to be used. Because the LEI initiative is still being defined by a G20 working group, the CFTC is calling its identifier a CICI, or a CFTC Interim Compliant Identifier. When the final LEI formats are decided, the bank needs to be ready to translate the CICI codes, if necessary.
Instead of a bank embarking on the complex and time-consuming process of hiring and training people for the project, it can hand the work to a BPO vendor that can provide highly trained, skilled staff ready to start immediately.
Focusing on the Future
As final rules come down the pike and regulators look to ensure compliance across the board, banks should increasingly look to BPO as a way to leverage their investments to get ready for multiple regulatory changes. Outsourcing turns a fixed cost into a variable cost and projects are completed in less time than it would take a bank to hire, much less train, internal staff to complete it.

Protecting wildlife and forests from organized crime focus of global consortium meeting
BANGKOK, Thailand – Building on best practice methods and implementing a strategic way forward to more effectively protect the environment from transnational organized crime was the focus of the International Consortium on Combating Wildlife Crime (ICCWC) executive meeting.
Senior officials from the five ICCWC members – the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), INTERPOL, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the World Bank and the World Customs Organization (WCO) – convened in Bangkok on the opening day of the triennial CITES conference (3 – 14 March).
The five organizations joined forces as ICCWC in 2010 in response to the increasingly organized and transnational nature of wildlife and forest crime, and in recognition of the need for enhanced international coordination and cooperation to underpin collective responses to this crime.
CITES Secretary General, John E. Scanlon, stressed: "The serious nature of wildlife crime demands a response that is commensurate with the scale of the risk it poses to species, livelihoods and security. ICCWC is the first initiative where the five organizations have joined forces to achieve a common goal. The combined experience, capacity and networks of the partners makes ICCWC uniquely placed to develop programmes to combat wildlife crime to help ensure the perpetrators face a more formidable and coordinated response".
INTERPOL's Director of Specialized Crime and Analysis, Bernd Rossbach, said: "Transnational organized criminal networks are increasingly moving into wildlife crime which offers them the possibility of significant profits at comparatively low risk. National law enforcement agencies are the first line of defence against the illegal trade in wildlife, however they increasingly face sophisticated and highly-organized criminal gangs.
"INTERPOL, and its network of 190 member countries and as part of ICCWC, will continue to provide the necessary support to national agencies to conduct transnational enforcement operations and target those behind all forms of wildlife crime," added Mr Rossbach.
The meeting enabled partners to review the regional and international wildlife crime protection activities conducted by ICCWC to date, including a workshop on controlled deliveries in Shanghai, China, and the development of a toolkit to help governments review the effectiveness of their responses to wildlife and forest crime.
Highlighting the capacity building focus of the consortium, Director of Operations at the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, Aldo Lale-Demoz, explained: "The ICCWC Wildlife and Forest Crime Analytic Toolkit is a technical resource that assists government officials in wildlife and forestry administration, customs and other relevant agencies to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of their preventive and criminal justice responses related to the protection of wildlife and forest products. Based on the results of the analysis, tailored evidence-based capacity building and technical assistance programmes will be designed and implemented through ICCWC partner agencies."
Reflecting on the strengths of the consortium, William B. Magrath, Lead Natural Resource Economist, World Bank said: "Through our engagement in ICCWC and related partnerships we are seeing a growing need for additional resources for crime prevention and socially and developmentally sound law enforcement. The World Bank is already the largest source of development finance for environmental and natural resource law enforcement and we are looking to ICCWC as a way of expanding and improving our support of good environmental law enforcement as a global public good."
The Deputy Director of Compliance and Facilitation at the World Customs Organization, Allen Bruford, stressed: "Much further work lies ahead to combat organized wildlife and forest crime and for this reason the WCO will continue to raise awareness of its serious impact on the natural environment, while continuing to build the capacity of customs officers across the globe to more effectively tackle the criminal syndicates behind cross-border wildlife crime in partnership with our key partners."
Consortium partners at the meeting also discussed the future priorities for ICCWC, including the need to continue to build the profile of wildlife crime along with its recognition as transnational organized crime. The important contributions and expertise of each partner organization in helping achieve these were also acknowledged.

The spells duplicated by Havoc are independent spells, the damage isn't just copied on the Havoced target, i.e the spells can crit on one target and not on the other, debuffs only apply to the target that has them etc...
The spells duplicated by Havoc are independent spells, the damage isn't just copied on the Havoced target, i.e the spells can crit on one target and not on the other, debuffs only apply to the target that has them etc...
I believe the CB/SB hit and the Havoc'd CB/SB hit are independent. The one that hits the target with the damage modifier will be modified accordingly, the other one will calculate its damage according to its target.
The one thing that's great tho, is that you can Havoc say Horridon and profit from its damage debuff when you SB the adds.
Edit: Beat to the punch by the almighty Zum. Well played
Interested in light analysis, ramblings and other
shenanigans about rogues? Check Badstabbers.
Regarding target macros:
I have three buttons for havoc.
Two for shadow burn
Modifiers can be a pain in the ass when rushed. Since they cleaned up the specs I have all these extra buttons I can bind to!
Also, If any one knows how:
I did Horidon for the first time last night and and was wishing I had a good macro to target the priority target. I need to make one that will target A if A is up, B if B is up etc. I suppose it would use the [exists] command. I was about to start figuring it out but if anyone wants to share...?
Last night I just whipped up as assist macro for our Boomer who had done the fight before and was able to find the targets faster.

I'm thinking of using Fel Imp on Jhin'rok to make sure i can always have it in the pools, regardless of where the boss is.
You guys reckon it's worth it? Also is the demon training glyph a dps increase or loss or neutral for a Fel Imp?
Your pet is supposed to get the buff when you get it, not when he's himself in the pool.
Question for some of you guys...
I know it's almost never a good idea to use chaos bolt when you have 3 or more stacks of backdraft, but what about when you have so much haste that your incinerates start to have less than 1sec cast time with backdraft? With the VP trinket proc and backdraft, I'm at around 1second (With Heroism I'm at under 1second). Now, that's just with me balancing haste and mastery-- I've seen a few destro locks go full haste, and even go as far as gem pure haste. I imagine that with just normal raid buffs, their incinerates go to under 1second.
So here's my question- I assume that it's not worth using backdraft procs for incinerates at this point if you have so much haste, and you should only use them for chaos bolts. Is this correct?
i was wondering if Rain of Fire has certain hastebreakpoints since i can not really find something about that.
im not a person who reforges full stat x since random calculator tells stat x is 0,2% better than stat y in clean conditions.
im more like reforging for certain hastecaps to have full duration Dot´s resulting in less refreshs over the fight.
so Rain of Fire 6 sec duration is really annoying to cast all the time, any hastebreakpoints for this?
Maybe the same as for Shadowflame? (8,3%; 25%)
Nice guide btw, first one i found that seems to be useful and discribes more than the basics.
Rain of Fire doesn't gain new ticks with Haste, it simply reduces its duration. Probably because this used to be a channeled spell, and still is for Demo/Aff.
So has there been any math/estimations on just how much buffed (or bugged) Rain of fire has gotten?
Hm I wonder what the haste soft cap for destro is? because even with 4717 haste (I have affli as 2nd specc) I run into gcd with heroism backdraft and casting Incin with 0.9 sec cast time which is a dps loss or is haste still better as crit? ( I dont want to put everything into mastery as I GoSup)
do our pet gain our damage buffs on primordius? i did it last week as sacrifice because i figured it did not, even though i run gosup on most fights. wondering if i should use gosup tonight. i spend most of the fight dropping rof's and spamming chaos bolts on the boss.

^ that is what I was looking at for our BIS list. I'm worried that I *might* be putting too much value on Cha-Ye's.
Thoughts? Sorry, I can't post full links just yet.
My results are as follows:
- Haste and Crit don't synergize much, but provide roughly the same benefit per rating.
- As the number of targets increase, Mastery's value increases significantly. When AoE'ing Mastery is by far the best stat, and on roughly 4 targets Mastery becomes better than Haste/Crit
In addition, on fights where you spend a very significant amount of time using Chaos Bolt or Shadowburn due to genning embers from Shadowburn returns, A full mastery setup with Grim of Sac will be best.
On 2 target cleave fights, Grim of Sac is still behind Sup/Serv with a Haste/Crit build
---------- Post added 2013-03-13 at 12:19 PM ----------
Haste == Crit > Mastery for 1-3 targets. Haste == Crit == Mastery for 3 < # targets <= 4ish
Mastery > Crit > Haste for #targets <= 5ish
---------- Post added 2013-03-13 at 12:20 PM ----------
However if you're using GoSup/Serv you should reduce your mastery as much as you can, and gain either haste/crit. The most optimal setup for single target that I've found so far, is having Haste Rating + Crit Rating > Mastery Rating
---------- Post added 2013-03-13 at 12:22 PM ----------
Havoc works as a mini-chain lightning in the game code. The second spell is literally a second spell being cast at the havoc target when your cast finishes. As such it has a separate chance to crit and all else from the spell it copied.
As for what to Havoc, you should always Havoc whatever needs to die. If you have to kill adds and you don't need boss damage, you should Havoc a high-health add. Havoc'ing the boss when you don't need boss damage and are wiping to adds means you are a selfish prick who only cares about his own numbers. SO DON'T BE A SELFISH PRICK!
---------- Post added 2013-03-13 at 12:24 PM ----------
It essentially means that you can gain either Haste or Mastery and get the same DPS increase. (No practical difference between each other)

The process of making high-quality commercial dog food involves scientists, nutritionists, veterinarians and even dog-food tasters in a production more befitting the Food Network than Animal Planet.
"They've got as many Ph.D.s and doctorates on staff as any of the pharmaceutical companies," says Dr. Katy J. Nelson, an emergency veterinarian who works on pet nutrition. "They're trying to make a product that is going to be the sole thing that these animals are going to survive on, so they have to make sure they have everything in there that could possibly be needed to sustain life and enhance the well-being of these animals."
Here's how the dog food manufacturing process often goes, from start to finish:
Find the Right Dog Food RecipeIt can take years for a new dog food to progress from a concept to a food you can buy at your local pet store. In addition to keeping up with the latest nutrition and scientific research, pet food makers also work with dog owners to explore what would best meet the needs of particular dogs, beyond the basics. "Getting the idea is the easy part," says Nelson. "Developing the food and making it into a great product is the hard part."
Adds Dr. Amy Dicke, a Dayton, Ohio-based veterinarian who has worked with teams of nutritionists and researchers: "Innovative nutrition starts with research."
Here's how the different stages of developing a new dog food usually progress:
Before new dog foods are sold, they must be complete and balanced and meet the nutritional adequacy expectations of the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO), which regulates pet food labeling in the United States.
Pet food makers are always looking for volunteers to help test foods. "A lot of companies feel like in-home usage gives you more realistic information about how pets are going to do on this diet, because it incorporates the stresses of everyday life -- both good and bad," says Nelson.

To see our tweets of highlights from this morning's economic forecast breakfast presented by the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber, see Kathleen Cooper's Twitter feed from earlier today. Among the highlights of statistics and numbers presented by Bruce Mann and Douglas Goodman, economic professors at the University of Puget Sound:
2013 will be tough for commercial & office real estate. Lots of volume and lots of regional competition.
Lots of apartments coming on in 2013, which will keep rents flat.
In 2013, housing sales will improve. Predicting annual gain of 7.6 percent. 4.6 in 1Q; 6.9 in 2Q; 8.9 in 3Q; 9.9 in 4Q.
Pierce County had only about 500 more jobs in 2011 than in 2010. In 2012, employers added 5,500 new jobs.
More good in 2013: Grand Alliance at Port of Tacoma. Aerospace and aircraft production. Health care and education.
This year, spending at JBLM will total almost $540 million on upgrades. 55K troops and 40K dependents will help too.
In 1Q 2013, Pierce County economy will grow 2.1 percent and 2.5 percent in 2Q. Then 3.2 in 3Q and 3.3 in 4Q.
Last year's economy needed Dramamine. This year will be smoother, Mann said Friday. While not exactly driving a Maserati of expansion, Pierce County is driving a recovery, Goodman said.

Spring Creation Guide (it's in PDF form), which has so many interesting and inspiring projects that go beyond the construction paper bunnies that you're probably used to seeing with their products.
Have you ever decoupaged with Elmer's products? They have a tutorial for a decoupaged table on their website that has my brain flooded with possibilities for projects in my home. Though a laundry makeover might require a projects like this Laundry Jar, which is rated easy on Elmer's scale.
Here's what I used:
- 18x24" canvas
- Elmer's Glue All
- Elmer's Tacky Glue
- Elmer's Glue Stick
- X-Acto Knife
- Decorative papers
- Large sheet of paper (roughly the size of your canvas)
- Acrylic paint/ foam brush
Paint your canvas whatever color you wish, preferably one that coordinates with your decorative paper. In my case, I wanted my image to pop out, so I chose black.
Lay out your large sheet of paper. It really only needs to be a scrap piece, even with writing on it, since we'll be gluing on top of it. Admit it--you're diggin' my old Dot Matrix printer paper.
With your Elmer's Glue Stick, glue your papers into place.
Next, I found a hanger whose shape I liked, and made sure its silhouette would fit on the paper.
For the hanger, I simply flipped the paper over on the back and carefully traced the hanger with a pencil.
With the X-Acto knife (or scissors), carefully cut out your silhouette.
Time to decoupage. Your canvas should be dry before this step. With the Elmer's Glue All, I made a solution of 3 parts Elmer's to 1 part water (for this project, 3 tbsp. Elmer's/1 tbsp. water worked fine) and mixed it with a foam brush.
Disclosure: Elmer's sent me some of their glue products, an X-Acto knife, and a gift card for purchasing craft items to create a craft and post about it.

Recession Survival: How to Create a Home Office Operation on the Cheap
Innovative Ways to Say "Corporate" on a Ramen Noodle Budget
By Sue Anderson, Marketing Lure, Inc.
Every dollar spent on a home-based office eats away at net income, but cutting back too far can negatively impact the amount of revenue and type of clients you attract.
Fortunately, technology makes creating a professional image on the cheap a very realistic and attainable goal. If you already have a computer, printer/scanner combination, and high speed Internet access, you're 90% there. Here's how to complete the image that says corporate-suit-and-tie, even when you're working in your pajamas.
Spend $5 --- not $50 --- per month for a business phone.
When the phone rings, you want to know it's a customer (not Mom) before you pick up, but a dedicated business line doesn't have to cost $50 or more per month.
VoIP is a great alternative if you live in an urban area and have high-speed Internet connectivity. You've probably seen ads for digital phone service, but much better deals can be found online. My VoIP service costs $60 per year and includes unlimited calls in the U.S. and Canada, voice mail, instant messaging, conference calling, and videoconferencing.
If your computer has a microphone, you already have everything you need, and because it's completely software-based, you can take your phone on the road and use it wherever there's high-speed access: airports, hotel rooms, coffee shops, fast food restaurants, and more. Add a noise-canceling headset to improve sound quality or VoIP phone for more freedom. Two words of caution: If you live in a rural area, VoIP may not work reliably, and if you lose power, you'll lose your phone, too.
Make a good first impression with e-mails.
What company have you done business with that uses free e-mail accounts like @yahoo.com or @hotmail.com to communicate? Companies big and small follow the de facto standard @companyname.com for their e-mails, and you should too! Conducting business with a free e-mail account will only raise legitimacy questions and make you look like small potatoes.
Web site domains are cheaper than you think. For approximately $50 per year, you can get an economy plan with e-mail, web site hosting, and online advertising credit to boot. Not ready to create a web site? No problem. Hosting providers will automatically park the domain when you buy it. Don't however, pick the cheapest provider you can find. You want 99.99% uptime and you want support when something doesn't work, so select a provider based on reputation.
When shopping for a domain name, strive for .com. Granted, it's easier to find the name you want if you opt for a .net extension, but most people still think .com when they're searching for a company web site. Here's where creativity and persistence will pay off. Host providers are highly competitive, so it's easy to find savings on sites like CouponMountain, RetailMeNot.com, and Ebates. Or sign up for e-mails from a few candidate p...

Historic news that Japan will phase out nuclear power has rounded off yet another terrible week for the global nuclear industry.
Japan's decision to end its reliance on nuclear power by the 2030s means it will join countries such as Germany and Switzerland in turning away from nuclear power after last year's Fukushima disaster.
This is an incredible step forward for a country that was once 30 percent dependent on nuclear power and follows a wave of public protests in a country not known for civil disobedience.
The decision comes as two nuclear reactors are out of action in Belgium after indications of cracks were found in their reactor vessels.
And adding to the industry's woes this week, Spain said it will close its Garoña nuclear power plant in July 2013, while Quebec's new government has confirmed it will also close the Gentilly-2 nuclear reactor.
These are momentous times.
Greenpeace has cautiously welcomed Japan's new "energy and environment strategy" as a long overdue decision. Still, we believe 18 years is still far too long to wait for a full nuclear phase-out.
Japan had already shown this summer that it could live without nuclear power after no power shortages or blackouts were reported despite just two of its 50 nuclear reactors being in operation.
The road ahead is abundantly clear.
Greenpeace has shown in its Energy [R]evolution scenario that with a quick uptake of renewable energy and energy efficiency, Japan can enjoy an economic recovery and meet its 2020 target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
It does not need to restart any of the nuclear reactors shut down after the Fukushima disaster.
In Europe, the fact that the Doel 3 and Tihange 2 reactors in Belgium are out of action after inspections indicated cracks in their reactor vessels underscores the ongoing risk to public safety that nuclear power poses.
It's possible that the damage is so great that these reactors will never be restarted.
If that isn't chilling enough, there's a chance that a number of other reactors across the globe might be similarly affected. All these reactors had their vessels made by the now defunct Dutch company, RDM (Rotterdamsche Droogdok Maatschappij).
Belgian nuclear watchdog FANC organised a meeting of nuclear safety authorities in Brussels last month to discuss the issue. Officials from Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the US and Argentina attended the talks.
Greenpeace is alarmed, however, that the operators and nuclear regulators of the reactors in these other countries claim they have no problems at all.
We are calling for all of these reactors to be immediately shutdown to allow for proper and thorough investigations and to ensure public safety.
On a more positive note, however, public safety took a significant step forward in Spain this week when it was announced that Spain's Garoña nuclear power plant would be shutdown in July 2013.
The plant's operators were hoping to extend the aging plant's lifetime until 2019, which would have cost an estimated 120 million euros (US$153 million) in modernisation and safety upgrades, but this week finally admitted defeat.
This should signal the start of Spain's renewable and sustainable future and is a huge victory for campaigners in Spain who have been fighting the good fight for 20 years.
All this makes you wonder how many more hits the nuclear industry can take. It's battling against younger and better alternatives such as solar and wind energy - a battle that nuclear power can't win.

'...Let's keep the discussion factual...'
Germany is not the drama I paint? Of course not, I forgot, there is this NGO called Greenpeace fighting for it.
1.) Until when did Greenpeace promote Desertec to be an option? Why Desertec seems to be NO topic for over a year now? Is there any reasons related to Arabian spring and political stability in North Africa in 2050?
2.) The German energy change is based, at least in 'directed' public perception, on Offshore-windpower.
What is the Greenpeace-position on Offshore-option, at least the German offshore version far out of sight at waterdepth of 45m?
3.) How is the time-shedule presented to public for a while doing. How many windmills have so far been installed producing energy, and, IMPORTANT, are able to deliver the energy on shore?
4.) Alpha Ventus was the showcase-project ot the industrie. I believe there were 40 windmills to be installed by 2012. How many windmills are actually installed and operating at Alpha Ventus? How many casualties were at Alpha Ventus during construction phase?
5.) How is the connection of offshore-projects to the coast doing, think the dutch state-owned company Tennet is asigned to do so? Why big energy is crying nowadays asking for German tax payers take the financial responsibility for a delay of On-shore-connection?
6.)Why was the price for offshore produced energy (according to the EEG, german sustainable energy law) raised from 15 cents per kwh to 19 cents for energy produced offshore?
7.) Why did ENERCON, the world's technology-leader for windpower, dismiss Offshore after tests with one offshore-windmill...I am aware that the gearbox-less ENERCON-technology is not suited for salty environments, but there was other reasons!
8.)What strategy did leading brains NOT part of the system try to promote? I am thinking of strategies like the energy-highway being promoted by Hermann Scheer and others, only windmills of the new gernation (e.g. E126 producing 8MW) installed on all suitable places along the A7 would produce more energy than Desertec, it could be realized in 3 years at costs of I think 1/8 of Desertec...lets not talk about political stability in North-Africa in 2050...it is simply a joke to believe anyone would invest 400 Billion there.
9.) while big energy and politics are producing a lot of smoke, delays and assumptions which prove to be wrong...what is Enercon, technology-leader doing?
10.) What will happen soon, after big energy started a debate in german media about Energy becoming to expensive for poor people because of sustainability, (the opposite is correct, sustainabel energy is making energy at the energy-spotmarket cheaper, only becaus Industrie is exempted of the EEG makes the price more expensive)....
Leading heads NOT part of the system believe big energy will soon start its next media-coup, creating fear of BLACKOUTS...after having created one delay after the other offshore and taking German tax payer hostage for any financial risk caused by them delaying the German Energy Revolution...as you might have noticed Germany's ruling party had just changed nuclear phase out shortly bevor Fukushima just to change the change again afterwards...there is an incredible amount of faces of politicians to be lost...you can make a fortune out of it if you use it strategically correct. Exactly this is happening at the moment...

Sorry guys, and I simply would shut up when talking about nuclear phase-out as long as there is an incredible amount of Co2 produced addionally...all hands on deck to to promote the sustainables...this would be an option.

Under the three scenarios under consideration - 0, 15, or 20-25% nuclear - Japan will cover 65, 55, or 50% of its energy needs from fossil fuels in 2030. This assuming that everything goes as planned (e.g. electricity consumption can be reduced by 10% and every house can be fitted with solar panels, for instance). If not, the shortfall will be covered by, you guessed it, more fossil fuels.
The business as usual, painted by mr. Haverkamp as the result of big bad nuclear's lobbying, would have resulted to 35% of energy coming from fossil fuels. That's before any reductions in electricity consumption.
In this case, it is quite clear that from the planetary perspective, big nuclear's* solution would have been by far preferable to whatever Greenpeace thinks.
I suspect - and hope - that the Japanese decision is similar to the Swedish one: in 1980, they vowed to get out of nuclear by 2000. They did not, and largely as a result, their per capita emissions are below Chinese levels.
* = interestingly, if the revenues or profit is compared, several renewable power companies are now as large or larger than the largest nuclear builders. For some reason, they seem to be paragons of virtue, however, and definitely above such tactics as giving too optimistic estimates of e.g. renewable capabilities.

l think there is another alternative for Uranium reactors, l mean THORİUM reactors, l made some research from internet, The LFTR/MSR Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor is more safe than conventional Uranium reactors and radioactive waste production is much more less than Uranium or Plutonium reactors,
Greenpeace must think twice, are you against every kind of nuclear power or you may be selective, you can protest uranium and plutonium reactors but not Thorium reactors?

@Green Savior - (1) Greenpeace as organisation has never promoted Desertec. It has seriously looked at the option, but remains quite critical, and is seriously supporting efforts to have concentrated solar heat and PV play an important roles in North Africa. We do so for a very long time already... (2) That Germany's energy change would be largely based on off-shore wind is a perception held in countries like the UK, where far too little information seems to be available about what is really happening in Germany. The actual spread of RE sources is a lot larger and a lot more decentralised. (3) Current growth figures of renewable sources are even beating the figures given in the energy [r]evolution scenario, they are 3 to 10 times higher than in the IEA scenarios and industry scenarios. Where a lot more needs to be done (and can be done given the economic benefits) is energy efficiency. (4-10) I see you have your problems with specifics in off-shore wind development, some of which i share, some not. But as stated before, Germany's energy change is not based solely on off-shore wind. (PS) Austria's nuclear imports come from Switzerland, Germany and France. From Poland we talk coal-power imports.
I live in the Czech Republic and Poland and work in all of Central Europe, including Germany. Instead of just ranting - if you don't agree with me, tell me where you think i am wrong. My statement about the social dynamics currently in Germany seems to be to me pretty accurate. Something you might not like if you are attached to one of the Big Four?
@Mr. Korhonen - we talk 35% of electricity, not energy, coming from fossil fuels in the original Japanese plans you mentioned - electricity being less than 30% of over-all energy carriers. Japan planned to use a lot of fossils for transport and heat next to that. I suggest you look at the Japanese energy [r]evolution scenario on www.energyblueprint.info in order to see what is meant by a really sustainable energy development in Japan.
@Pertev - Greenpeace and many others are thinking all the time - twice, thrice and more. Thorium appears not to be the saviour you make it. 1. It needs still a lot of research before viable commercial reactors would be able to come on-line, and we need solutions now; 2. Thorium reactors produce serious proliferation concerns by spreading access to fissile materials and reprocessing technologies; 3. Thorium reactors may reduce the volume of the radioactive waste problem, they do definitely not make it go away but will still add to it; 4. Thorium reactors look like they are going to very very expensive. Why look that way if the real alternatives are already there?

@J.H: "Instead of just ranting - if you don't agree with me, tell me where you think I am wrong".
For instance (from your energy blueprint website):
"...the Energy [R]evolution scenario slightly increases the costs of electricity generation compared to the Reference scenario. This difference will be less than $0.6 cent/kWh up to 2020".
German "EE-Umlage" 2012: EUR 3.592/kWh (ca. $4.7 cent).
And we're not in 2020 yet...
Even the German government itself admits its policy is utterly uncompetitive: large consumers are totally freed from this charge for their own production, or almost totally if they buy it on the market. Here are the links:
How are you going to police these companies without having them just move the "dirty stuff" elsewhere (which seems to be the hypocritical solution Europe is heading for anyway)?

70% of the Japanese population wants to terminate nuclear power generation as soon as possible however I am not convinced that the Japanese government is currently heading that direction:
- The "new energy policy plan" set out by the government is being advertised as aiming at creating the conditions for an exit from nuclear "in the thirties" (that is, by 31 Dec 2039). Note that "aiming at creating the conditions for an exit" is not quite the same as "exiting".
This plan does too little and it does it way too late: earthquake prone Japan is almost out of nuclear generation and needs complete the phase out now and for good. The country can not afford another Fukushima.
- The Noda government bypassed the parliament on the selection of the components of the new nuclear regulatory commission that replaces NISA. Many view the appointed people as being too cozy with the industry they are supposed to regulate (nuclear business as usual)
- The same government recently gave green light to resuming construction work at two planned nuclear sites; according to the "new" energy plan reactors will be allowed to operate for 40 years so the sites currently under construction would operate well after 2050.
- NISA has already proposed change the current law in order to allow utilities to operate npps on top of active faults. For them the definition of "nuclear regulator" seems to be something like "entity that changes regulations in order to allow utilities to operate npps regardless".
Japanese people commemorate Hiroshima and Nagasaki every year; I hope they will not forget Fukushima at the upcoming elections. Japan needs a strong green party because the traditional parties (DPJ, LDP etc.) are definitely not showing enough commitment at preventing a repetition of the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe.
more often than not electricity generation has nothing to do with competitiveness; nuclear power generation has even less to do with it because it can only survive out of subsidies and liability caps afforded by the taxpayer.

Seems the major German electrical utilities are saying that no more fossil fuel generation plants are needed in the transition away from nuclear, because of the rapid growth of renewable electricity generation. Perhaps this is a better indication than the many second- and third-hand speculative reports often touted.

KMeleonWiki > Documentation > Tutorials > KmeleonUpdate
-English- -Español-
Over recent months the Mozilla Foundation has been focusing on bringing out newer versions of its GRE(Gecko Runtime Environment) and thusly newer versions of their browser products which fix newly found security holes. As K-Meleon v0.9 is based on the older v1.7.5 GRE and does not get updated often, the following tutorial will explain two methods of updating K-Meleon v0.9 to a new GRE for those who seek better security.
Brian Bruns has provided those users who are less experienced, less inclined to experiment, or who are time-limited, a downloadable package which contains only the bare essential files needed to update K-Meleon v0.9 to use the latest Gecko. Using his package apparently eliminates some visual glitches with K-Meleon which may arise from using the manual updating method, and also eliminates the need to delete the extra *.dat files from the components folder for History to work (the installer takes care of it all for you).
To install just download the latest package from here.
This method assumes the user is familiar with the copying of files and folders and is willing to experiment a little to make things work.
1. Download the zip version of the latest stable Mozilla here, or alternatively download a zip version of the latest Mozilla nightly build.
2. Unzip the zip file, usually right-clicking on the file and selecting "Extract" should create a folder with the contents of the zip file.
3. With K-Meleon closed, copy the following files and folders from the Mozilla directory you have just created into your existing K-Meleon directory (usually c:\program files\k-meleon) and, when prompted have existing files overwritten:
Once you have copied the folders and files across, go to the k-meleon\components folder, and delete (or backup) compreg.dat and xpti.dat. You need to do this in order for the History function to work correctly. Otherwise if you don't use the History function leave the files as is. Mediafire Game Download - Company of Heroes - Tales Valor
4. It may also be a good idea to get rid of (i.e. delete) chrome.rdf in c:\program files\K-Meleon\Profiles\...\chrome\ so that K-Meleon will be able to pick up changes correctly. Sometimes it may also be necessary to delete overlayinfo.* in the same Profile folder.
5. Start K-Meleon. Help --> About K-Meleon should now report a newer Mozilla version (1.7.13).

Now, the Active Autowerke car puts a hurting on Lost Marine's ESS-VT1 setup. It straight up dusts him there is no easy way to say it. That is fine considering he is running the lowest power kit from ESS and it has no intercooler. What is fairly surprising is how well he does against the ESS VT2-600 setup, losing, but putting up a very good fight until the VT2-600 slowly pulls up top. We are guessing that VT2-600 owner is going to be looking into meth very quickly.
No transmission or shift excuses in this video with all M3's having the dual clutch transmission. All cars are supposedly on 93 octane but you never know. We do not get to see the Active Autowerke car run the ESS VT2-600 setup but it's not difficult to come to the realization that he would make easy work of it. That is one very quick M3 and we would like to get the full specs on the upgraded blower it is running as soon as possible. Very nice races, enjoy.
