Searchable research repository - Our blogs are our own personal libraries. We reference them to jog our memory and keep us from repeating our research steps and wasting time. Jacqi at A Family Tapestry made a great point: by blogging we create a public, searchable database of family information. Information that will be available to anyone, anywhere in the world. Our research and thoughts can now be found at a single Google click. That thought alone is fuel for creating well-written and researched posts! Many of you mentioned that you also turn your blog into a printed book. Blurb was one source mentioned for this option.
Digging deeper - Not only do our blogs produce better overall research, but they help us to dig down to the interesting stories behind our ancestors. By focusing on creating a better researched post, we often come across stories that put the meat on the bones of our family story.
Finding kin - Our blogs are a great resource for connecting with distant relations. That Google search we mentioned up above? That is leading our information straight to cousins that just learned that we are related and may want to link up. What better way to draw cousins to you than your blog? And like Amanda mentioned below, they may have photographs!
Do it for you - Many of us are little guys in a big genealogy blogging world. We may never reach more than a handful of views for any given post. But for all the reasons above, it is worth the time...even if it is only for you. However, remember that the other little guys read your posts for inspiration or to cheer you along, even if you don't get many comments. We are members of a community that understand the joys and tribulations of finding a hidden uncle in the census or finally stumbling upon an obituary. It takes a community to grow a family tree.
My biggest take away from our discussion is that, for me, blogging and research are now one in the same. I have come to a point in my research where I have found most of the "hard copy" items on my ancestors: names, birth dates, death dates. By blogging I am pulling that information together and creating their story, rather than their facts. Thank you all for such a great discussion. Here's to many more years of blogging. And know that if you ever feel the urge to take a break or quit, there are so many reasons to keep plugging along!
Have I missed anything important to you? Please add it to the discussion!

The three were airlifted from the Chalamain Gap area of the Cairngorms to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary shortly after 12.30pm yesterday.
A man and a woman died last night and another man died in the early hours of this morning, Northern Constabulary said.
An Ministry of Defence spokesman said: "MoD can confirm that two RAF personnel were killed following an avalanche in the Cairngorms yesterday.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of those who have lost their lives. Next of kin have been informed.
"We would ask the media to respect the privacy of the families concerned at this difficult time."
Police, Cairngorm Mountain Rescue Team, search and rescue dogs, RAF Lossiemouth's rescue team and a helicopter were involved in the operation yesterday.
Two parties of six were on the mountain when the avalanche struck, with nine people able to walk off unhurt.
David Rutledge, the training officer for Cairngorm Mountain Rescue team, was involved in controlling the operation from the team's base.
He said: "We started mobilising within 15 minutes of the call coming through.
"We had a helicopter here incredibly quickly. We had three doctors available straightaway who were able to get to the scene.
"This was a fairly contained scenario. We were able to deal with an incident which was relatively close to the roadside, within 2km of the ski road and in a very contained area.
"From that perspective, no search was necessary. The key aspect to this was to get people there as quickly as possible."
Two helicopters from RAF Lossiemouth, Rescue 137 and 138, were involved in the operation, he said.
He added: "Snow conditions would have been affected massively by the weather we've had over the last few days, but, significantly, temperatures were increasing throughout the day and that will have had an effect on what was going on.
"Wind speeds were quite high and all of those things have a contributing factor to the snow conditions."

porting Firefox 3.5.15 to OpenBSD 4.8
I'm interested in trying to build firefox 3.5.15 on a just installed 4.8 amd64 system.
I am familiar with basic compiling and Slackware build scripts but the OpenBSD system looks to be more complex.
I'm thinking about renaming the firefox35 port to a backup and reconstructing an updated port using the cvs makefile, patches, files etc and using pkg_create. Although there has been mention of reviving binary updates I have yet to find any so I am assuming you need to compile
I found http://www.openbsd101.com/updating.html#u6. It looks like I would need to update the base system then proceed with ports. At this time there are no patches for 4.8 so a full cvs update doesn't seem necessary - do I need maintain the same revision?
Is this a good approach? Any pointers appreciated
Last edited by shep; 3rd November 2010 at 07:54 PM. Reason: added openbsd101 link
I recommend you use FAQ 5 and FAQ 15 rather than a 3rd party "how to" document.
As is typical with such things, not all environments and situations are covered in the one you reference. In particular, cvsup is only for i386 architectures, and won't work for you.
FAQ 15 section 3 is all about working with ports.
In general, start with a -stable ports tree (yes, firefox35 has a -stable update in it), as described in FAQ 5.3.3, then update just www/firefox35 to -current, and begin building. You may find "make install" is all you need, but you should anticipate running into problems with dependencies
If you have never used the ports tree before, start by practicing with some other, simple ports, until you get the hang of building packages.
Or wait for a -stable update to firefox35 for the version you desire.
While indeed backporting newer versions of Firefox is tempting, it is not something that should be done by a novice.. you will run into dependency issues eventually, and if you're unwilling to resolve them yourself you'll be unable to continue.
If bleeding edge packages are your primary concern, consider following snapshots as an alternative.. binary packages are made available on several mirrors.
One major problem with this is eventually packages will not work for an older snapshot, usually this happens when base libraries are bumped (..API/ABI change in libc) and you'll need to upgrade/reinstall a newer snapshot.
A lot of this is in the FAQ, and you can decide what more fits your usage requirements.. if maintaining stable backports is something you wish to do, then that is your prerogative.
I took a crack at it and did accomplish an update of the 4_8 patch branch with the following out of date ports
Also I notice that the Firefox35 update has not made it yet into the patch branch. If there is a single command to do the lot of them I will probably hold off until the firefox35 update shows up - how long does it typically take?
Hijacked discussion moved to its own thread.
When you have the urge to change topics within a thread, please create a new thread. Hijacking is so uncool.
Sorry, it was not my intent to hijack the thread and actually the original post was on "Firefox and stable ports" and the link you posted in your reply actually pointed to the Makefile that I understand was tagged with Revision 188.8.131.52.
I appreciate trying to make searches more efficient but the new thread is still about updating firefox35 while staying in stable/patch branch. Just because I responded to some advice to used a less complex port does that make it an uncool hijack of a thread?
Your question, while valid, went in a different direction & most likely discussion was going to continue to diverge from that of the OP. If discussion were to get further mired into building details, the OP might give up thinking everything is way too complicated, where building was not really part of his question at this point.
Yes, my decision was based in part on where I anticipated discussion was likely to go, & I wanted to minimize any growing confusion already taking place. Perhaps you (or others) don't agree with my action. That's fine. Let us then agree to disagree.
I am always impressed with how quickly the daemonformums administrators/moderators respond to posts and realize that they read and process large quantities of text on a daily basis. Again, I appreciate your efforts and will restate it was not my intent to hijack the thread.
As I see it, you have four choices:
a) While waiting, attempt to backport the -current port yourself. If you are successful, you can contact $MAINTAINER and let him, her, or they know you've got a working backport, and ask them to review what you have done and make recommendations and corrections so that your work can be commited to the patch branch.
b) Send an Email to $MAINTAINER and demand they drop whatever they are doing and get this done, because for you, it is the most critical thing in the world.
c) Wait patiently, in the hopes that $MAINTAINER will get around to it before the next set of security fixes for Firefox are published.
d) Use the version of FF available to you, and don't worry be happy.
I recommend a,c, or d. Option b is considered rude.

Malin Akerman — Crush of the Day
May 12th was Malin's 34th birthday. The Canadian actress of Swedish descent got into modeling and acting at the age of 5, and actually won the Ford Model Search in Canada at 17. The Great White North decided to keep her from us until she portrayed Freak Show's wife in 2004′s 'Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle'. Now, we can't look at Oreo's Double Stuff without getting awkwardly aroused.
Unfortunately, we'd have to wait a whole three years before we got to see her first starring role as Ben Stiller's rebound wife in 'The Heartbreak Kid'. We can't fault Ben's character for rushing into the holy bonds with that bombshell.
She made us question Vince Vaughn's sexuality in 2009′s 'Couples Retreat' and she had our Nite Owl hooting in 'Watchmen'.
What sets her apart from most smokeshows is her comical side, which is on full display as Dr. Valerie Flame in Adult Swim's late night series 'Children's Hospital'.
Recently, she's appeared on the covers of Maxim's May 2012 issue and Shape's June 2012 issue. She's also been spotted at the Tribeca Film Festival and a host of other red carpet screenings of blockbuster movies
We're looking forward to her roles in 'Rock of Ages' and 'Stolen', but we're feverishly pressing fast forward to catch her playing Linda Lovelace in the porn star's biopic set to release in 2013 (even though it might not happen).

City of Heroes
Proposed Canon
First Mentioned: TBFGK 73
According to the Book of Canon, The City of Heroes is a (possibly mythical) place in the afterlife where warlords who are courageous and good go after they croak, comparable to Valhalla of the Real World Vikings. It is the good counterpart of Hellabad.
Several units have expressed some sort of belief in the City of Heroes:
- The City is mentioned by Vinny Doombats after the fight with the wounded dwagons from Parson's Siege Raids.TBFGK 73
- Wrigley, a Unaroyal Stabber is also a believer, though he expects that, having failed to even engage in combat, he will not be allowed to enter it.
- Caesar also mentions it in passing in a thinkagram to Bunny after the Battle of Chocula.LIAB Prologue 26
Vinnie's comments suggest that it is believed, by some units at least, that the Titans judge at night, after all turns have ended, if a unit may enter this place and start their next turn there.TBFGK 73
It is not explicitly stated that a unit has to croak in combat to go to the afterlife of City of Heroes, but given Wrigley's assertion that his death as a prisoner would not suffice to be selected, the inference is that death in battle is necessary seems strong.
The scripture refers to this place.
Units borne into the City of Heroes are said to be grouped into all-new Sides under the command of the Titans themselves, to fight the battle at the Last Turn which will end the world and bring unto all a new Erf.
If the City really exists, it's possible that some form of magic, possibly Weirdomancy, allows living Erfworlders to communicate or otherwise interact with the inhabitants of the City of Heroes.
Real World References
City of Heroes was an MMORPG. In the eponymous city that served as the game's setting, only Heroes are allowed to be created (there was a seperate city, complete with its own MMORPG, for villains), which may indicate that the Erfworld equivalent is a resting place for "Good" units.

You can export 3D layers in Photoshop as files in several supported formats. This blog post touches upon considerations for exporting 3D layers as U3D files.
To begin with, ensure that any 3D layers that you're exporting as U3D have only triangular object geometry. Additionally, keep the following export-related limitations in mind:
- Export of higher-level primitives, such as NURBS, splines, and curves, is not supported.
- Texture mapping is limited to only one diffuse map per material. Export of ambient, specular, luminous, or opacity texture maps is not supported.
- Export of material animation is not supported.

Mozilla Reverses Decision to Axe 64-Bit FireFox Builds, But Support Will Be Left to the Community
Subject: General Tech | December 26, 2012 - 04:34 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: mozilla, firefox, browser, Internet, 64-bit
A month ago Mozilla announced that it would no longer release 64-bit versions of its popular Firefox web browser due to a lack of resources. While the stable versions for Windows were 32-bit, nightly builds were available to enthusiasts that were 64-bit and could take advantage of more than 4GB of memory.
Mozilla developer Benjamin Smedberg stated that there was significant negative feedback from the community over the decision to axe 64-bit nightlies. While Mozilla has reaffirmed that they do not have the resources to support 64-bit builds, the developers are proposing a compromise that they hope will assuage users. In short, the Release Engineering team will continue to build 64-bit versions of the Firefox browser, but Mozilla will consider it a teir 3 build and the support is left up to the community.
Currently, the plan regarding 64-bit versions of Firefox involves a forced migration of existing 64-bit users to 32-bit versions via the automatic browser updates. Then, after the migration date, users that want the 64-bit version will need to go and download it again. Once installed, users will be informed that it is not officially supported software and they are to use it at their own risk. Click-to-play plugins will be enabled in the 64-bit builds while the crash reporter will be disabled. Win64 tests and on-checkin builds of the browser will be discontinued.
Interestingly, all browser testing by Mozilla will be done on the 64-bit edition of Windows 8. Yet they are only testing and supporting 32-bit versions of Firefox. The current situation is less than ideal as the x64 Firefox browsers will not be supported by Mozilla, but at least the software will still be available for those that need it. For now, Waterfox is an option for those that need to install a 64-bit browser based on Firefox.
Does Mozilla's decision to stop supporting the 64-bit Firefox browser affect you? What do you think of the offered compromise?
Video News
O man, always is something with them, couple of months before I have a lot of problems with 64bit version, keep crashing all the time, And now this, compromise sucks :)
If problems kept happening better switch to 32bit.
Now i'm using 64bit version and often got problems, thinking to try with 32
Firefox crash ALL the time for me. Gave up on it and just use chrome.Firefox looks better but chrome work as it should!
Firefox is the most versatile browser available currently - has been for years. The only issues I've had with it were of my own doing, namely, extensions conflict; the app itself is stable and fast. Mine is under load with 40 extensions and 6 plugins and there are no issues whatsoever.
Waterfox and Palemoon are great 64-bit options although you would hardly see a difference on up-to-date hardware.
I think this tells us that development of 64 bit native programs are much trickier require more resources, considering their mobile version needs focus I support the short term decision to stop but for long term progress even they need to continue this.

Holiday Party
by Shelly Hazard
Last Friday night, four couples met at a friend's home for an evening of companionship and entertainment to celebrate the coming holidays. The meal was pot luck style, so each couple contributed a dish of food. As it happened, each couple arrived in fifteen minute increments, between 5:30 pm and 6:15 pm. Determine the name of each couple, the time they arrived, and what dish each contributed to the pot luck supper.
1. Mary's last name wasn't Grant.
2. The couple that brought the tuna casserole arrived first, promptly at 5:30 pm. The couple that brought the cheesecake arrived last (Pam's cheesecake was everyone's favorite dessert).
3. Wendy was married to neither Tom nor Mr. Park. The Browns brought the lasagna.
4. The first couple to arrive was Mr. and Mrs. Wish; the second, Wendy Brown and her husband; the third, the couple who brought pasta salad; and the last couple to arrive was Karl and Pam.
5. Cindy, whose last name wasn't Park, didn't bring the pasta salad.
6. Peter, whose last name wasn't Wish, arrived fifteen minutes after the couple who brought tuna casserole for dinner but before the Grants. Bob and his wife Mary didn't bring the cheesecake.

Warriors F Green avoids knee injury
October 19, 2017
An MRI exam on the injured left knee of Golden State Warriors star forward Draymond Green came back negative, according to an ESPN report Thursday.
Green's status for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans is uncertain.
The two-time All-Star and reigning NBA Defensive Player of the Year was injured during the third quarter of the Warriors' regular-season opener against the Houston Rockets on Tuesday night.
"I'll be good. I'm fine," Green told ESPN following the game.
Green finished with nine points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists in 28 minutes in Golden State's 122-121 loss.
Green has no structural damage in knee
October 19, 2017
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) Draymond Green has no structural damage in his injured left knee but is still doubtful to play in the Golden State Warriors' next game.
The Warriors released the results of the MRI on Thursday and said Green traveled with the team for its current three-game road trip. Golden State plays Friday night at New Orleans.
Green got hurt in the closing seconds of the third quarter of Tuesday's season-opening 122-121 home loss to Houston when he drove left to the basket, took an off-balanced shot and landed awkwardly. He came up hobbling and grabbing at his knee.
Golden State missed his presence down the stretch and Green finished just shy of a triple-double with nine points, 13 assists and 11 rebounds.

In 2006, during what would be his last run for re-election, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy was asked about the widening partisan gulf that was swallowing the nation's capital. He lamented it, and told a story of a better era in Washington.
He recalled the time when he and Sen. Alan Simpson, a Wyoming Republican, partnered on National Park legislation that would bring federal funding to their respective states. The Republicans controlled the Senate, and Simpson approached the leadership to get the bill approved. Simpson was told his portion of the funding would get through but Kennedy's would be cut out. As Kennedy recalled, Simpson told the GOP leadership: "Sorry, but I came in here with Kennedy, and I'm leaving with Kennedy." Bipartisanship prevailed, and the funding for Massachusetts survived.
Six years after Kennedy told that story, Capitol Hill is even more polarized - and the people are disgusted.
A September Gallup poll found that only 13 percent of Americans approve of the job Washington lawmakers are doing. The problem is that political parties have been hijacked by their most extreme wings - the far right for Republicans and the far left for Democrats. There is little middle ground, yet that is where most Americans place themselves on the political spectrum. Even in Massachusetts, one of the bluest states on the political map, there are more unenrolled voters than Democrats or Republicans.
He crossed party lines and cast a key vote to pass the Wall Street reform law co-authored by Bay State Congressman Barney Frank, who praised Brown for his political courage.
Brown has criticized his own party for holding up President Barack Obama's judicial appointees. Each candidate should be approved on his or her own merits, said Brown, while voting 90 percent of the time for Obama's nominees.
Brown's presence in Washington has served as a "conservative" counterweight to the overwhelmingly liberal congressional delegation. There is a reason why 21 present and former Massachusetts Democrat office-holders have stepped forward to support Scott Brown's campaign. They trust his character, honesty and integrity, fashioned while serving in the state House of Representatives (1998-2004), state Senate (2004-2010) and his continuing service as a colonel in the Massachusetts Army National Guard.
A junior senator assuming office in a special election might be inclined to simply toe the party line, but Brown hasn't. He identifies with the 15 or 20 senators from both parties who don't vote in lockstep with their leadership. He was the second most bipartisan senator in 2011, voting with the Republicans only 54 percent of the time, according to a Congressional Quarterly study. And Washingtonian magazine identified him as the least partisan senator on Capitol Hill.
These are stubborn facts that Brown's opponent, Democrat Elizabeth Warren, has chosen to ignore while spending millions of dollars on misleading campaign advertising. Brown is who he says he is. Warren, on the other hand, is not who she says she is except for the fact that she's a partisan Democrat who sees things one way and vows to vote the same.
We share Brown's concern about the loss this year of some of the Senate's most bipartisan voices - Olympia Snowe of Maine, Richard Lugar of Indiana and Joe Lieberman of Connecticut. Problems to be solved over the next six years will require greater bipartisan talks and reliance on independent thinkers like Brown to forge a consensus.
Brown has been uncompromising on one issue in the Senate. He has refused to vote for any legislation that would raise taxes for any income group. We agree with him that as the nation limps toward economic recovery, now is not the time to take more money from the people to feed the government. Warren would vote to raise taxes.
Brown has been an antidote to the toxic political environment in Washington; Warren would only bring more partisan poison to Capitol Hill. When he ran two years ago, Brown vowed to be an independent voice in Washington, and he has made good on that promise. He deserves a full term in the Senate, and we urge voters to re-elect him on Nov. 6.

SpiritHoods and a Passion for Animals
In this season of Young Visionaries, we talk to entrepreneurs tackling social, cultural and environmental goals by harnessing entrepreneurial principles and out-of-the-box thinking to create positive change.
Inspired by festival culture and endangered species, three years ago four friends (Alexander Mendeluk, Chase Hamilton, Ashley Haber and Marley Marotta) founded the Los Angeles-based faux-fur accessories maker SpiritHoods. The premise for the company, they say, has always been to pay homage to animals, but they take that idea a step further. For each purchase from its PRO BLUE line, the animal-hood maker donates 10 percent of net profits to nonprofits that work to protect endangered species.
See how the company aims to grow the business and its social mission.

The Good Samaritan
Stories from the Los Angeles Catholic Worker on Skid Row
Price : $19.95
Add to Cart
Add to wish list
In this new collection of essays, Jeff Dietrich looks back over more than forty years as a member of the Los Angeles Catholic Worker community serving the poor on L.A.'s Skid Row. By exploring the theme of what it means to be "A Good Samaritan" he asks: "Who is my Neighbor?" "Am I my brother's keeper?" and finally, "What does it mean spend a lifetime as a Catholic Worker?"
The Good Samaritan by Vincent van Gogh by Theresia de Vroom
Who is my Neighbor? by Jeff Dietrich
Dorothy Day and the Catholic Worker by Thomas P. Rausch, SJ
Clearly, the need to bring compassion, peacemaking, and social justice into the fray has never been greater, but when faced with such a reality, who can be blamed for turning away in despair or self-preservation? This brilliant book by Jeff Dietrich is the modern day and prophetic reminder that we all are called to be a "Good Samaritan."—Martin Sheen, Actor and Activist
Jeff Dietrich's new collection of essays will bring great hope to many people. At a time when domestic violence, street violence, and war seem to be a constant in our lives, the Gospel-based values lived by Dorothy Day and the Catholic Worker movement propose wholly new possibilities for justice and peace.—Bishop Thomas Gumbleton
Jeff holds his life in tension as contemplative, activist, scholar, defender, and servant of those most in need in Los Angeles' Skid Row...Jeff never sleeps before he writes—it is for him a form of prayer, a way of sorting out the impact of the ever-present culture, a way of comprehending how to act against its worst aspects.—Elizabeth McAlister, Spiritual Mentor to the Catholic Resistance Movement; co-founder of Jonah House
I read every issue of The Catholic Agitator and you, Jeff Dietrich, are a great writer.—Jean Vanier, Founder of L'Arche
Jeff Dietrich is a rarity, a light in the darkness. He is the "Good Samaritan" who retells the quintessential parable everyday through his relentless pursuit of justice and the stories he tells about it.—Wole Soyinka, Nobel Laureate
Jeff Dietrich was born in Newport News, Virginia. When he was nine years old his parents moved to Southern California where he was raised and educated. After college and in order to avoid the draft, he spent six months traveling in Europe and North Africa. For the last forty years, he has lived in community at the Los Angeles Catholic Worker in solidarity with the poor. Jeff Dietrich is an activist, whose numerous actions of civil disobedience have landed him in jail more than forty times. He is a cook and a kitchen worker, whose efforts have helped provide more than three million meals to the homeless on Los Angeles' Skid Row; and he is a writer, whose eye-witness accounts of the suffering and deprivation of the poor are imbedded in his relentless and vehement exposure of the political and social system that helps to maintain their poverty.

Please understand, we do our very best to describe in detail the condition of our vehicles, however, we are only human and these are used vehicles, therefore, American Auto Brokers, and their employees or agents will not be held accountable for errors or omissions in the description of the above vehicle or typographical errors in any of our vehicle listings. AMERICAN AUTO BROKERS MAKES EVERY EFFORT TO BE AS TRANSPARENT AS POSSIBLE WHEN OFFERING INFORMATION ABOUT THE INVENTORY ON OUR SITE. WE WILL DISCLOSE WHAT WE KNOW AND WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED REGARDING EACH VEHICLE, WHETHER IT IS PAINTWORK, PERFORMANCE ENHANCING EQUIPMENT OR ALTERED EXHAUST / EMISSIONS. WE DO NOT INSTALL ANY OF THIS TYPE OF EQUIPMENT, NOR DO WE TEST ITS PERFORMANCE. IT IS STRONGLY ENCOURAGED THAT YOU HAVE AN INDEPENDENT PRE-BUYER'S INSPECTION DONE. WE DO NOT REQUIRE YOU TO HAVE ONE DONE, HOWEVER WE WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY FINDINGS AFTERWARDS SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO DISCARD YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE ONE DONE. All vehicle options (power opts, cd players/changers, audio equipment, entertainment systems/dvd, navigation systems/nav dvd, etc), specs, features, color descriptions, history, paint history, maintenance records and manufacturer's warranty information should be researched and confirmed by the buyer or third party service before completing purchase. Helpful research information can be found at Edmunds.com, AutoCheck.com, Carchex.com, CarFax.com, etc. At our dealership we work very hard to accurately describe our vehicles through text descriptions and elaborate photos. We hand select each vehicle we put on eBay. The vehicle shown is ALWAYS the vehicle being sold. Please look over the photos carefully as they are part of the description. When you purchase any pre-owned vehicle it is not a new vehicle. Any pre-owned vehicle can/will have normal wear, which may include, but not limited to, rock chips, scratches, scuffs, and minor interior wear, our policy is to disclose anything beyond that and we encourage pre-purchase inspections. When fresh inventory arrives, we do our best to inspect all power options, DVD systems, audio equipment, NAV systems, etc., however AAB will not be held liable or responsible for any of these items. ALL LIFTED AND FLAT BED UTILITY BED TRUCKS MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE SPARES. We will search and disclose paintwork. However, please bear in mind that this is an imperfect science. Also, you must note that often truck owners may choose to alter factory emissions and or exhaust to enhance performance or fuel economy. We often do acquire trucks that have these performance enhancing equipment already installed. This equipment may alter original emissions equipment or void factory warranties. We do not test or alter this equipment. If this is a concern of yours, please exercise your right to have a pre-purchase inspection prior to leaving your deposit. Our sales staff is available to assist in answering any specific cosmetic questions and will gladly walk around a vehicle to give you a more accurate description BEFORE a deposit is left. Ultimately, it is up to the potential buyer to do their due diligence. American Auto Brokers does not want to hide anything and we encourage everyone to have a pre-buyer's inspection done before purchase. Please be aware that until a holding fee or down payment has been made after the completion of the inspection, the vehicle is still available for purchase to the public and will not be held. Note: Our listing software provider allows the VIN to decode the ORIGINAL FACTORY EQUIPMENT that this vehicle had when it rolled off the factory line. There may/may not be additional dealer equipment that was added by the original selling dealer that will not be listed in this section. There may/may not also have items listed as original factory equipment that are no longer with the vehicle we are currently selling. For example: 2 sets of keys, keyless entry remotes, owner's manual, factory floor mats, Navigation discs, first aid kits, factory tires/size/load rating, spare tires/factory tools and/or jacks, etc. Please refer to the photos we have taken or ask us your specific concern to be certain there is no confusion. We will not be responsible for any discrepancies between the Original Factory Equipment section and what is presented in the photos or description. Please do not assume and allow us to put our answers to your specific concerns in writing. Human error is possible and we reserve the right to reverse any sale based on pricing/listing error which can occur at any time without notice. All inventory is listed for sale locally, therefore all are subject to sale at any time and may not be available. Everyone is encouraged to call with questions or concerns. "Note to other Dealers and Brokers due to the pricing we reserve the right to only sell to the retail public. We will NOT sell to other dealers, we appreciate your desire to buy from us but please no not call to check if we will."
It is the customer's sole responsibility to verify the existence and condition of any equipment listed. Neither the dealership nor AutoRevo is responsible for misprints on prices or equipment. It is the customer's sole responsibility to verify the accuracy of the prices with the dealer. Pricing subject to change without notice.

I love the topic. I think we need to start talking about this. This is getting closer to reality every day.
The Fed minutes yesterday, said the economy could be in for a "Severe Downturn". That downturn could start as a recession and turn into a depression. The entire world is getting pulled into the downturn. Foreign markets are already down 20% this year and the realy bad news is still to come. I know ... doom and gloom.
If (or when) the foreign investors lose faith in the US markets, the dollar will sink like a rock in a river. The dollar is already at risk, which puts savers like us at risk. If dollars dropped in value by half and inflation gobbles up another x% per year, the savers could lose the most. A friend of mine does not own a home and has no assets and a steady income with his own business. He has nothing to lose, but I could lose a lot. So, I'm not sure who I would rather be, as we face the coming downturn.
Some say to invest in foreign currencies, but they are also losing value as their central banks are printing money to keep from losing against the dollar - is order to keep their economies from completely stopping. All equity markets and currenies are very risky right now, leaving the commodities to hedge against the dollar as the best choice to protect a saver wealth.

Too few teachers: District cancels classes due to national women's strike
North Carolina school forced to cancel school on March 8
North Carolina school forced to cancel school on March 8
A school district in North Carolina has canceled classes for Wednesday because so many teachers plan to participate in the "A Day Without A Woman" demonstration.
Chapel Hill-Carrboro schools made the decision after realizing how many staffers planned to participate in the national event that corresponds with International Women's Day and a march in Washington, D.C., The News and Observer reported.
The superintendent said the day would be an "optional teacher workday," with no school for students.
"Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools values and supports its female employees," the school said in a statement. "However, the decision to close schools is not an endorsement of the planned demonstration. The decision is made solely to avoid operating school on a day when there are insufficient staff to provide instruction and basic school services."
Other districts in North Carolina are considering a similar move.

We have aerial power lines serving our suburban/rural campus, with thunderstorms, fallen tree branches, or electrocuted squirrels, spiking, shaking, or cutting power many times a year. The buildings have diesel generators, not only because of computer rooms, but also for expensive/delicate lab equipment, protected by UPSs of several sizes and types, from big Lieberts to small VA units. With the generators, we only need a modest battery time also. Our UPSs are worth having for the reasons you presented. Toasting computers or mass spectrometers with electrical spikes is no fun.

One spot where you definitely DO NOT WANT TO STAND during a lightning storm is next to an oil tank battery. These structures have a strong tendency of being a lightning attractant.
Shortly before nine o'clock this evening that's exactly what happened in northern Stafford County.
An oil tank battery located a quarter mile south of 170th Street – just west of Highway 281 – was struck by lightning. The photo of the fire was taken shortly after firefighters arrived on scene.
Firefighters from three stations responded to the fire.
The firefighters cooled the perimeter to prevent the surrounding grassland from igniting. Once the fire had burned down to an extinguishable level they applied a blanket of foam to the battery.
Firefighters remained on scene for two hours.

This is by far the fastest and easiest tutorial I've ever posted. From start to finish it takes less than 5 minutes!
-long necklace
-largish jump ring
-lobster clasp
Step 1: Pick an area to remove a jump ring by opening it up with 2 pairs of jewelery pliers.
When you're done, the two ends will look something like this.
Set the jump ring you removed aside for now. You'll need it in step 5.
Step 2: On one of the open ends, attach a new, slightly larger jump ring and close it.
It's unlikely that the length of the chain as is will be a perfect fit for your wrist, so now is the time to figure out the correct size.
Step 3: Wrap the bracelet comfortably around you wrist over and over until it can't go completely around again.
Step 4: Use snips to cut the extra chain at the point it meets up with the large jump ring.
Step 5: On the ends you just cut, attach the jump ring you removed in step 1. Now slip a clasp onto that same jump ring and close it.
When you've finished the two ends will look like this:
Step 6: Put the bracelet on, so if there are any issues with the fit you can adjust them. (It's easier to just go ahead and do it now while you've got the tools out!)
Now this I will wear.
-wire snips
-jewelry pliers

Well, I always buy a couple of extra nodes, and of course some extra disks. That way most failures have spares at hand, and then you can on-site or depot repair at your leisure. For the less common failures it costs more to have parts, but for my current business I have an extra of everything: switches, routers, PDUs, yadda yadda, at each of my sites.

Pure Virtuousness
Last time I talked about using C++ to develop a simple class library for creating LCD display-style user interfaces (you can find the evolving code here).
To refresh your memory, the main class is (more or less) here:
class lcdui { protected: MENU *menu; // the current menu unsigned int current; // current index in the menu public: // constructor lcdui(MENU *_menu) : menu(_menu) { current=0; }; // execute the menu virtual void go(unsigned int menulevel=0); virtual void callback(int id, MENUTYPE mtype, EVTYPE event, int *value=NULL); // override to handle T_ACTION menu items virtual void dispatch(int id) { }; // called when no input available virtual void idle(void) {}; // get an input code virtual INTYPE getInput(void) =0; // Write to the LCD virtual void output(std::string &ostring) =0; };
I mentioned last time that C++ doesn't perform any magic that the C compiler can't do. It does some things automatically, of course. More important in some cases, it doesn't do things.
For example, consider this simple class:
class ademo { private: int a; public: ademo(int _a=0) { a=_a; } // could use this.a=a; int geta(void) { return a; } };
Nothing hard here. In C, the same construct might look like this:
typedef struct { int a; } ademo; void construct_ademo_default(ademo *this) { this->a=0; } void construct_ademo(ademo *this, int _a) { this->a=_a; } int geta(ademo *this) { return this->a; }
This isn't ideal, of course. You don't really have any direct tie between the structure, the constructors, or the member function other than in your own mind. You can easily create a structure and call
geta() without first constructing it, for example. There are no default arguments in the traditional C compiler, so you have to remember that too.

Stupid question, I'm sure, but a little paranoia is kicking in.
I've had bad runs with dice before but usually they feel as though they've evened out ..... but recently they have just been diabolical and for so long now.
Anyway, the stupid question is: can anyone interfere with or affect the dice ratings at all? Somebody somewhere must have some control...

Los Angeles County Sheriff's officials are investigating a variety of potential causes of the car crash that killed actor Paul Walker and race car driver Roger Rodas in Valencia on Saturday, including the possibility that they may have been street racing, authorities said Monday.
Investigators received a call Saturday night from someone who said "they believe (Rodas and Walker) may have been racing another vehicle" but that information has not been verified or corroborated by anyone else, Sgt. Richard Cohen of the Santa Clarita Valley Station said Monday.
"We have not been able to confirm that," Cohen said. "We have not been able to contact that person."
Rodas, 38, and Walker, 40, were in a 2005 red Porsche Carrera GT on Saturday afternoon when Rodas lost control of the supercar on a street in an industrial park in Valencia. The car hit a tree, slammed into a light pole, then hit another tree and caught on fire just before 3:30 p.m. Saturday, Cohen said. Sheriff's officials believe the car was going faster than the 45 mph speed limit at the time, he said, but they haven't determined a specific speed.
While speed is believed to have been a factor, there are "a million possibilities" as to the cause of the crash ranging from an animal crossing the road to an automobile malfunction, Cohen said.
"We don't know at this point," he said. "The investigation is ongoing and going full force."
Investigators are hoping to obtain any video from witnesses that may provide some clues, he said.
As of Sunday night, coroner's officials had yet to positively identify the badly burned bodies though witnesses and those who knew the pair identified them Saturday.
Brandon Torp, 28, of Santa Clarita, who knew Rodas and attended Walker's charity event Saturday at the Always Evolving custom car shop, said Walker wanted Rodas to take him for a ride around the block since he had never ridden in Rodas' Porsche.
Torp said he watched them leave from the parking lot, and was one of the first people on the scene of the crash and tried to put out the flames with a fire extinguisher.
Torp said it was unlikely that Rodas would be racing since he cherished his car so much that he wouldn't risk getting it impounded, causing damage to the car or injuring anyone.
"I know he wouldn't risk anything happening to the car or getting into an accident racing somebody," he said. "It was literally a drive around the block."

PAGO PAGO: Talamua Media and Publishing of Apia announced the official launch of the Business and Trade Directory in the territory on Tuesday.
Journalist and broadcaster Apulu Lance Polu and his wife Angela Kronfeld-Polu, the owners of Talamua Media and Publishing of Apia, made the announcement at a press conference held at L&L Hawaiian BBQ.
Apulu said this directory is printed annually and is in the fifth year of the combined publication of businesses of the two Samoas.
"It features information about the businesses in the territory and in Samoa in a high visibility glossy and full color presentation," he said.
We've always believed that the two Samoas will grow together and that is reflected in the vision that is combined in the Directory," said Apulu.
An example of what they have been trying to promote over the years with the directory, is the expansion of the local Blue Sky Communications when it took over Samoa's Telecommunications Company, which was the main telephone company in Samoa. It is one of the products of Talamua Media and Publishing, which was founded in 1993 by Apulu.
Apulu said this year's business directory is dedicated to Samoa's 50th anniversary of independence and they honor and pay tribute to the forefathers' vision, wisdom, courage and persistence and their sacrifice that brought Samoa to where it is today.
The cover of the directory has both American Samoa and Samoa with photos which date back to the 1890s.
Managing Director of Sales and Marketing Angela Kronfeld-Polu said "the expanse and variety of businesses presented in the directory speaks of the growth of the business sector in Samoa since the country broke away from colonial rule in 1962. More importantly for Samoans, there are now more business opportunities."
The directory lists telephone and online contacts for Samoa's government ministries and corporations, Digicel's digifix subscribers and white pages for Samoa, Savai'i and American Samoa businesses.
The Business directory is available online on its dedicated website www.samoabizdirectory.com
5,000 copies of the directory have been printed and will be available next week Tuesday at the Western Union offices at the Shalhout building in Atu'u and Western Union in Nu'uuli.
The Directory was launched in Apia two weeks ago.

HPBA champions the industry's interests through lobbying on Capitol Hill, establishing reasonable technical standards, preventing restrictive regulation and policy, facilitating community-based programs, and leading grassroots member efforts. Each of HPBA's government affairs efforts involves working closely with various key stakeholders to make each initiative a success, whether it be the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or Department of Energy, state governments, or other nonprofits with common interests.
HPBA works to elevate the industry's profile through media relations and public education campaigns. Grilling and smoking can happen anytime or anywhere. HPBA has campaigns to encourage consumers to barbecue in the winter and for breakfast, and to create the best outdoor living space for them. For the hearth industry, there are annual efforts that kick off in October, National Fireplace Month, which extend through the entire fireplace, stove, and heater season.
HPBA facilitates business growth for its members not only on the HPBExpo show floor, but by providing insider knowledge through market research and elevating the industry's profile to the public. Members get first access to industry research, analysis and insights, and can participate promotions that reach media and consumers throughout North America.
HPBA works for its members by advocating for the industry, educating consumers on the value of their products, and providing programming to help grow businesses. Select from the three targeted filters above, based your interest.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), the program which governs emissions for woodburning appliances, was updated for the first time in over 20 years February 2015. Initiated in 1988, the NSPS controls the manufacture, sale, and import of "wood heaters," and only affects new products not already installed in residences.

The U.S. Department of Energy had been considering a regulatory action for pilot lights intended to conserve energy for all heating and decorative gas appliances. At the same time, HPBA has been advancing a revision to the standards for vented gas fireplaces, stoves, and inserts that would achieve these same goals while considering the unique attributes, functions, and technical considerations of each appliance category.
Wind and solar power options are the latest buzz among energy conservation building circles in the quest to build or retrofit homes to be Zero Net Energy. HPBA won't let policymakers forget that hearth products provide valuable zone heating benefits that play an important role in reaching the policy goal of a home producing as much energy as it consumes.
Consumers may not realize how older woodstoves and wood heaters can impact air quality. Likewise, constituents could be impeding policymakers' efforts without even knowing it. HPBA, with the help of its regional affiliates, helps policymakers facilitate voluntary programs initiated at the local, state, or regional level that provides eligible communities incentives to positively impact air quality throughout North America.
HPBA educates consumers on the array of fireplace, stove, and other product options that can be an essential element to any living room, den, bedroom, or another room in the house.
Building, fire prevention, and general safety codes are reviewed regularly, and HPBA is very active in ensuring what's implemented is fair while keeping the consumer in mind. HPBA delves into the technical, legal, and policy details so that you can spend more time focusing on your business. Our codes and standards team works tirelessly to ensure your interests are represented at the decision-making table―at the International Code Council, standards development organizations, and at government agencies of all levels.
HPBA's Wintercue campaign kept the winter from putting a chill on barbecuing in 2017, and will be back in 2018. Wintercue celebrates all-weather barbecuing with tips and tools for consumers to unleash their winter warrior.

Tax credits are powerful incentives for potentially hesitant consumers to invest in new biomass-fueled freestanding stoves and energy conservation technology. For nearly a decade, HPBA has worked in Washington, D.C. to maintain a tax credit for purchasers of new biomass stoves so that communities and individuals can reap the financial and environmental benefits that newer, more efficient technology provides.
When backyards are at their best, consumers are more likely to be barbecuing year-round!
Learn how this campaign promotes upgrading outdoor living spaces.
Breakfast (or brunch) is often the one meal that families with hectic summer schedules can carve out to enjoy together. HPBA's Barbecue Your Breakfast Campaign strives to increase the frequency of breakfast barbecuing tips and a recipe contest.
Are you a manufacturer, installer, or retailer? As of January 1, 2015, all glass-fronted gas hearth appliances - that means gas fireplaces and glass-fronted gas heaters - require a protective barrier if their glass surface temperature exceeds 172 degrees Fahrenheit (F).

Maybe quadruple witching will finally inject some life into this market. This is that nebulous time of the quarter when a bunch of futures and options all expire and usually give a boost to both volume and volatility. Nothing else seem to be doing the trick.
Add in some bloodletting in Oracle shares, and this Friday might turn out to be more than just another flaccid exclamation point on the latest S&P record.
But while the market lies in wait for a chance to start swinging, investors are stuck trying to figure out how to handle the overseas powder keg. Again. With the promise of a low-rate environment and gold holding strong above $1,300, the safe-haven choice has earned itself some new fans (see call of the day).
If investors are, indeed, becoming more risk averse like strengthening gold might suggest, you wouldn't know it from the glamor names. They're usually the first to go. Netflix /quotes/zigman/87598/delayed /quotes/nls/nflx NFLX , TripAdvisor /quotes/zigman/7619815/delayed /quotes/nls/trip TRIP and Tesla /quotes/zigman/118681/delayed /quotes/nls/tsla TSLA , the poster children for swinging stocks, are up double-digits in the past month and have traded among the top performers. This after crapping the bed for March and April.
"Yellen … confirming that the Fed is in no hurry to change the status quo — it's a reminder that there's no place for money to go," Keith Goddard, who helps manage some $1.4 billion in assets as president of Capital Advisors, told Bloomberg. "There is no place to go but to try and eke out a return in riskier markets."
Pimco's Bill Gross and his stamp collection might disagree.
Key market gauges: Gold /quotes/zigman/11829489/realtime GCQ4 just took out the $1,300 mark and is sticking above that level in Friday's trade. The precious metal hasn't been this high since early April. Futures on the Dow /quotes/zigman/17899764/realtime YMM4 and the S&P /quotes/zigman/20258906/realtime ESM4 are hugging the flat line, jeopardizing a sixth-straight day of gains for the broad market. Asia /quotes/zigman/6959860/realtime XX:ADOW closed mostly in the red, and Europe /quotes/zigman/2380150/realtime XX:SXXP is seeing modest gains.
The quote of the day: "If we beat Costa Rica, I want a kiss, obviously on the cheek, from the U.K. queen." — Mario Balotelli, striker for Italy, which needs to win if England is to have any hope of staying alive in the World Cup.
Earnings: The big name in the offseason reported late yesterday, and it's not looking pretty. Oracle /quotes/zigman/19452757/delayed /quotes/nls/orcl ORCL shares are off more than 6% in premarket trade after on a drop in quarterly profit. Smith & Wesson /quotes/zigman/87396/delayed /quotes/nls/swhc SWHC is doing even worse after its report.
The buzz: Yo! If you haven't heard about it, you must be living under a rock. A rock you should probably stay under if this app hints at the future of communication.
It looks like that smartwatch from Apple /quotes/zigman/68270/delayed /quotes/nls/aapl AAPL is about to be built in mass numbers, according to a Reuters report. Maybe not surprising that the stock is actually down a bit on the news. Apple has grand designs for this thing, with 50 million of the devices expected to be shipped in the first year
Speaking of wearable devices (that nobody should really wear), senior citizens take a trial spin in Google /quotes/zigman/30194416/delayed /quotes/nls/goog GOOG Glass. The results, as you might expect, are pretty hilarious. And a lot like explaining technology, in general, to your dad.
Born to be mild? Harley-Davidson /quotes/zigman/228798/delayed /quotes/nls/hog HOG unveiling an electric bike is hard to imagine, but it's happening. Not sure how attention-starved accountants looking for their weekend-warrior rumble will embrace the quiet.
The chart of the day: The Fed may not have surprised us this week, but interest rates could be about to, according to Jeff Clark of the Growth Stock Wire blog. And he uses this chart to bolster his point. "Rates have trended lower over the past week, and the yield is now retesting its former resistance line as support," he wrote. "If rates hold up here and start to bounce, we'll have the first set of higher highs and higher lows. That will likely indicate the start of a new uptrend for interest rates."
The call of the day: Gold miners /quotes/zigman/420125/delayed /quotes/nls/gdx GDX have been surging since bottoming out in December, with the ETF enjoying a 25% bounce. Andrew Nyquist of See It Market says that while they may be overbought short-term, they are setting up nicely for a "buy on consolidation swing trade." For a specific play, take a look at Coeur Mining /quotes/zigman/43169/delayed /quotes/nls/cde CDE . The Fly, the man behind the iBankCoin blog, says he normally believes gold owners are "miscreant tenants of barbarism." But the inexpensive nature of these stocks has caught his interest. "Imagine buying solar stocks at the beginning of its mammoth turn in 2011, like I did," he said. "Now imagine if you actually held those stocks… dream of the money you could've made."

Vintage-inspired and antique costume jewelry never really goes out of style. If anything, it's hotter now than ever. Both avid collectors and trend-conscious fashionistas covet statement pieces of jewelry that evoke the charm and nostalgia of bygone eras.
The Newport Beach Public Library has several books that showcase the history, design and collection of costume jewelry. Immerse yourself in these opulent treasures, all available at the library.
"A Collector's Guide to Costume Jewelry: Key Styles and How to Recognize Them," by Tracy Tolkien and Henrietta Wilkinson: This lavishly illustrated volume introduces readers to the origins of costume jewelry, dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries when imitation gems and non-precious materials were first used to create "paste jewelry." Along with detailed information on how costume jewelry evolved over the years, this text also includes more than 200 high-quality photographs of necklaces, brooches, earrings, bracelets and other baubles.
"Inside the Jewelry Box, Volume 2: A Collector's Guide to Costume Jewelry," by Ann Mitchell Pitman: The author shares her passion for vintage costume jewelry in this comprehensive reference that will appeal to both buyers and sellers. In addition to almost 1,000 detailed descriptions and photographs of collectible trinkets, this catalog provides relevant websites and information about companies in the vintage costume-jewelry resale business. Nostalgia buffs will also appreciate the full-page advertisements from Harper's Bazaar, Vogue and other high-style magazines from the mid-20th century.
"Costume Jewelry," by Judith Miller: Antiques expert Miller presents more than 400 vintage designs in this handbook. Each piece of jewelry featured includes a detailed description, a value range, and an enlarged color photograph. Individual chapters portray the artistry and craftsmanship of Chanel, Schiaparelli, Christian Dior and other iconic 20th-century designers.
"Collecting Costume Jewelry 101: Basics of Starting, Building & Upgrading," by Julia Carroll: Novice collectors are given step-by-step instructions on how to identify, evaluate and sell vintage jewelry in this user-friendly guide. Because Carroll recommends that beginners start their collections with pieces from Coro, Kramer, Trifari and Weiss, she devotes an entire chapter to the work of these four designers. This indispensable resource also offers tips on pricing, cataloging, cleaning, storing and repairing jewelry.
"Vintage Jewelry Design: Classics to Collect & Wear," by Caroline Cox: Renowned fashion authority Cox chronicles more than 100 years of vintage designs in this exquisitely appointed coffee-table book. Decade by decade, the author explores how costume jewelry designers and their creations were influenced by the historical events and trends of each era. Designers and collectors alike will be inspired by the stunning photographs that celebrate the work of innovative artisans and vintage production houses.
"Rejuvenated Jewels: New Designs from Vintage Treasures," by Amy Hanna: Readers who want to recycle their damaged or unused pieces of old jewelry into fabulous new creations will be enchanted with the retro-inspired projects in this crafts guide. Hanna shares her expertise on which materials to use and where to find them, explores various jewelry-making techniques and explains how to incorporate her design ideas into fashioning a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry.

BRANDON — Otter Valley Union High School board members dialed back severe spending plan cuts at a board meeting last week, instead settling for an estimated $322,000 in cuts that will spare, in part, the French and tech education programs.

VERGENNES — The 2009 legislative session is just getting off to a start this week, but Addison County's only freshman lawmaker has already built a new coalition under the Golden Dome.
By ANDY KIRKALDY
VERGENNES — Personnel changes are helping Vergennes Union Elementary School officials keep proposed 2009-2010 spending in check. The draft $3.54 million budget that the VUES board will look at later this month — probably on Jan. 18 — calls for a increase of 1.7 percent that is well below inflation.

These Challenge rewards are important as many early-stage entrepreneurs face resource gaps – such as networks and training – that inhibit their ability to scale high potential ventures.

"It's so different to other films, and that's one of the reasons I wanted to do it. wewe read the script and you're like, "Is this actually getting made? It's set in a car, there's so much talking about experimental economics." -Robert Pattinson (about Cosmopolis) – The Guardian UK, 2012
"I was sitting in the car on the way back from the press conference, refreshing, refreshing, refreshing on my phone. I've never really done anything where people have hated it, au really, really read into it." -Robert Pattinson (about Cosmopolis) – The Guardian UK,...
Bravo: What kind of tarehe type are you? Do wewe arrange everything before hand au is it spontaneously?
Rob: I like it to plan romantic evenings. Although, I mostly don't know what to do. But if I have a good idea once I've to realize it. It's appealing to someone.
Bravo: What do wewe figure out? Kristen and wewe are often seen on concerts, wewe have to buy the tickets for it…
Rob: When I take her to a tamasha it's a gift
Bravo: What's a real tarehe for you?
Rob: When we can talk during the date. Maybe a dinner, as every couple enjoys it.
Interview with Mr. Pattinson, your hair is long again. Note: He had a crew cut the last time. Did wewe actually cut your hair for your role in "Cosmopolis" au "Bel Ami"?
Robert Pattinson: Neither. It was for a movie where I play a soldier who discovers Saddam Hussein. The shooting should have begun in the spring, but was postponed to the autumn.
Interview: wewe are the leaving roles that are in the ndoto field zaidi and more, and doing zaidi realistic roles. Do wewe agree with that?

"C-Jam Blues" kwa Oscar Peterson: "What I learned how to play blues kinanda riffs from. Peterson was the best."
"Soldier Sender" kwa John Lee Hooker: "If I could have a song as a wife..."
"Soft" kwa Kings of Leon: "I've always thought that I really relate to the lyrics of this even though I don't really know what they are. I upendo the singer's enunciation in all their songs. They are pretty much the only modern band I can say I am a shabiki of."
He's one of the hottest properties in Hollywood, and today, MTV Australia was lucky enough to catch up with 'Twilight' nyota Robert Pattinson!
The 26-year-old Brit is in Australia to promote the final instalment of the hugely maarufu franchise, 'Breaking Dawn – Part 2,' which hits cinemas on November 15.
We sat down with the in-demand actor to find out how well he thought his co-star Kristen Stewart handled Bella becoming a vampire, what his favourite memories are from being on set, and where to from here!
What makes Rob Pattinson so perfect?How much time do wewe have?There are lots of things that make him perfect,not just to me but to lots of other girls and women.I know no one is perfect,but to me and I am sure to all of Rob's female fans,he is as close to perfect as wewe can get.If wewe were to ask any of his female mashabiki why we upendo him and put him on a pedestal,we could give wewe a very long orodha of reasons why we upendo him and what makes him perfect to us.Well here are just SOME of those reasons...
American Twi-hards — bad news…don't get TOO used to Robert Pattinson frolicking all over the States!
It sounds like the heartbroken Cosmopolis nyota won't be hanging around here for too much longer!
R-Patz is getting ready to shoot his inayofuata film, The Rover, an indie flick to be filmed in Australia and it seems like it'll serve as a MUCH needed escape!
A chanzo revealed:
"Rob wants to get away for a while, and is looking mbele to filming in the desert in Australia. He needs some space."
"Extra's" Ben Lyons headed down to San Diego for the first siku at the Con, where the "Twilight" frenzy began four years ago. He caught up with Stewart and Pattinson, chatted about "Breaking Dawn, Part 2" -- and whether they'll ever work together again now that's it over.
Stewart told Lyons, "Oh dude, we will work together again. And I'm not being coy, but sometimes I have a few actors that I worked with before that I'm like, 'We have to keep doing this together' and he's definitely one of them."
Robert Pattinson and his leading lady/girlfriend, Kristen Stewart, are one of the most famous couples on earth, and as such, they are also one of the most immediately recognizable. Only Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and their teenage counterparts, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez, can rival Breaking Dawn's real-life lovers as magnets for not only the paparazzi but also for their millions of adoring, sometimes hysterical fans. After four years of Twilight mania, Robsten can't go anywhere without being mobbed kwa hordes of Twihards. Well, one of them can't.

text: Drift dark matter detectors Posted by Dr Ben Still on November 10, 2012 • Comments (0) I thought that a trip to the science museum might help show up some historical imagery of the scientific process that I might be able to use to explain aspects of particle physics. To my disappointment there was very little to do with particle physics in the science museum - they have far more at the Museum Of Science and Industry (MOSI) in Manchester! We did lay eyes on one of the Drift dark matter detectors which had been moved from its original home in the Boulby salt mines in Yorkshire. The historical 18th C gallery really caught Lyndalls attention - I too have always loved the handcraft orreries and lab equipment. In the surroundings of brass and hand blown glass we sat and I got my laptop out to show Lyndall some more particle detectors. We went into detail about the technologies involved in each detector and how they 'saw' particles. Lyndall showed me pictures of scintillating fibres and I talked about how certain materials produced wither light (scintillation) or electric charge (ionisation) to tell us of the presence of particles.
